I usually panic this time of year.
I feel summer seeping away and realize I haven't done half the stuff I meant to, so then I try to cram everything into the last few weeks of lingering sunlight.
This year, though? No problem. As some of you may recall, I set My Personal Summer 2013 Activity Bar way, way low. I planned to do two just things and two things only: eat hamburgers (I did) and go to Bees games (same). So high five me! Meeting personal goals is so rewarding, don't you agree?
Anyway, whenever I went to Bees games, I couldn't help but notice how many people were messing around on their smartphones texting, checking their e-mail, surfing the net. Instead of talking to each other and/or watching the game in real time, they all sat in the Spring Mobile bleachers, glued to their smartphone screens.
This is exactly the kind of behavior I used to decry. Loudly.
Until you know I got a smartphone myself. I inherited one when our son bought himself a newer model and handed off his old phone to me.
At first I treated it pretty much the same way I did my dumb phone. I didn't always have it on me. And when I did I forgot to turn it on. In fact, sometimes I went for days without checking for calls or messages.
My kids gave me grief about being unreachable, of course. But I'd always say, "Dudes! When your dad and I moved to Finland in 1985, no one in America knew if we'd arrived safely until they received a handwritten postcard a few weeks later. And guess what. EVERYBODY LIVED."
I didn't see why we all needed such instant access to everything, including each other.
Then one day when I was standing in a line at the grocery store, I pulled out my new smartphone to divert myself, so I didn't have to look at any more magazines with various lesser and greater Kardashians on the covers. (Memo to Kardashians: Ugh! Please just go away!) And as I watched my screen light up, I thought, wow! This is great!
So whenever I was bored from then on, I pulled out the smartphone even though I have always maintained a little bit of boredom is good for people. It challenges us to get all creative.
Before long, however, I wasn't pulling out my smartphone just when I was bored. No. I was pulling it out when I was busy doing other things, like gardening and having lunch with my kids and writing columns.
In fact, if I didn't have my phone with me, I felt naked like I was in the middle of one of those dreams where you look down while you're giving a book report on Mary Stewart in your eighth grade English class and realize you somehow forgot to put on your clothes before going to school. Except for your socks.
So there you are! Naked in the eighth grade! Except for your socks!
Anyway. It was a quick slide, people. I went from never looking at my phone to needing it on my person. All. The. Time.
But why? A lot of the e-mail I get isn't time-sensitive. And the Internet (I think we can all agree) often resembles Alice's rabbit hole. Also, I am the world's worst texter. It takes me hours to send a garbled text that doesn't make any sense, so why don't I just call later? Seriously, can't most of it wait until later?
Why do I obsessively look at my phone?
That's why I decided to do something last Saturday night that I haven't done all summer. I left my phone home when I went to a Bees game. AND IT WAS AWFUL. I pretty much had the shakes all night.
Withdrawal feels like that.
Which is why I think I should be leaving that phone at home more often and communicating Old School.
What do you think?

Enterprise Services Engineering and Architectural Services is open and providing full level services for funded projects
Enterprise Services will begin distributing payments on May 15 totaling $4 million to more than 300 public agencies and non-profits as the result of a settlement agreement reached in 2012 with IKON Office Solutions Inc. and its parent company, Ricoh America Corp.
Settlement amounts for each account will range from $100 to $140,000, with most being for less than $1,000. The agreement followed a review of IKON's billings under the state's master contract for copier equipment.
King County will receive nearly $736,000, the largest single consolidated settlement payment. All settlement payments are final and non-negotiable.
About $3 million of the settlement relates to charges for equipment and about $1 million for copies and maintenance. The use of statistically determined audit results and usage of specific IKON accounts was used to determine the settlement disbursement amount for each IKON account.
Enterprise Services and Ricoh in 2010 hired the auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers to perform a review to help evaluate compliance by IKON after invoicing variances were discovered by the state in 2009 relating to a sampling of contract sales. The state designed the review, which covers IKON's customer transactions from April 1, 2007 through Oct. 31, 2010. Ricoh agreed to pay for all associated review fees.
After issuance of the review results by PricewaterhouseCoopers and separate analyses of the results, IKON agreed to the payment to resolve any variances. In addition, at the beginning of the review in 2009, the state worked with Ricoh to revise invoicing and payment procedures to provide greater transparency and to prevent recurrences.
Among its many duties, Enterprise Services develops and oversees about 1,000 contracts for various goods and services, ranging from vehicle purchases to office supplies to fuel and more.

Talk:Holocaust Tycoon
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Holocaust Tycoon article.
|This article was nominated for deletion on June 1, 2007.
The result of the discussion was Keep.
edit Gulag Tycoon
The sequel to holocaust tycoon, there needs to be an article on it.
edit Offensive humor
This is probably the most offensive article on the whole site. And I'm not Jewish, either.
- The only thing offensive is insinuating homicidal gassings of Jews.
- Thank you. I thought that the Cancer Porn had raised the bar beyond the reach of most of us, so I am delighted to hear your comments. Thanks, again. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Yeah, this is horribly offensive. Laugh out loud, talk about insensitive. I love Uncyclopedia! --Legolasegb 16:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- Aw, so does that mean Counterstrike: 9/11 is a no-go come September? ;)
- Hmmmmmmmmm......Duke Nukem WTC? -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Actually I think it is rather funny making fun of how game designers especially the tycoon game designers really are scraping the bottom of the barrell.
This is the greatest article on the entire site. It's eye-bleedingly offensive, and akin to crashing a funeral and morris dancing on the coffin. --Bheid 18:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you, young man. Your kind words fair bring a tear to my eyes. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Due to family history I really feel a connection to the Holocaust and am pretty sensitive about it, this page did offend me at first. BUT when I scrolled down and saw the "HALT, HAMMERZEIT" thing that made it all worth it!! Norske 14:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
edit Wow....
At least the spelling and grammar could have been cleaned up.... It is very offensive. Especially the fact that this is the whole theme today. It's not funny.
- Just so you know, this wasn't a majority-decision of the sysops here at Uncyclopedia. I'd tell you who created the reskin and subsequently forced it upon us, but I'm not one to "snitch". Anyways, on behalf of the opposition, (of the reskin) sorry about the whole thing and we hope this doesn't lead you to form a very very negative image of who we are and what we stand for. --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ignSTFU F@H|MDA|+S 16:50, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin or anything but i'd just like to point out that Hitler is the butt of the joke here... nobody is promoting or endorsing what he did. George VI 17:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed, it's a joke. But considering that this might be the first time some users have stumbled upon Uncyclopedia, this should not have been on the frontpage. Ever. Also, today's the date Hitler was born. I'm not saying this is honouring that or anything, but it sure as hell is letting the people know (whatever that means). Even Wikipedia was smart enough to leave it out of their "On this day".... --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ignSTFU F@H|MDA|+S 17:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not new to Uncyclopedia, and I realize that this is a joke on Hitler, but I still think that the total reskin and the poorly executed entry could have been done in a more obviously inoffensive way. And it is nice to know that this was not a unanimous decision.
Hard to pass it off as a joke on Hitler when he is only mentioned once or twice halfway through the article. Whether you read this for entertainment, or shock that something this insensitive (no, not funny, INSNESITIVE) actually exists, know that the person who made it left humor out altogether.
- I've copied this conversation onto Talk:Main Page. Further discussion concerning the reskin may be held there. --⇔ Sir Mon€¥$ignSTFU F@H|MDA|+S 19:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
edit Units
Uhm, I think some serious modifying or deleting needs to go into the Units section, it's kind of unfunny. I tried patching it up a bit yesterday (IP 126.96.36.199) but it's still terrible. Plus it was all added by one IP address from Finland according to the edit history, which never bodes well. Are there any bits of it people actually want to keep, or should we just scrub the whole thing? -Underscore 14:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- And you got to it after I did. It was even worse before; I deleted a third of the entries.
- I'm somewhat indifferent as to whether we keep the Units section or not. Thanks for your cleanup. -- Rei 16:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- I do like the Units section, but I think its in danger of running away with itself. As long as we keep it under control it should be OK. I'm looking to make a game screenshot to go with that section which should improve it a tad. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Alright, I'll see if I can edit it to increase the hilarity quotient. Any units we absolutely have to keep? Underscore 16:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Not by me. :) -- Rei 17:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
edit Neo Nazis have a real game like this, by the way
I remember seeing a TV special about it. Don't know what it was called, but someone actually wrote a "sim concentration camp" game where the object was to kill as many people as possible.
--Hrodulf 19:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah....the links to some "real" games were added to the bottom of the article. The frightening thing is this article is a slightly disturbing joke, the fact that in reality someone has created something similar says a lot about the mentality of some people. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Tjat is very strange to have a real game like this though my favrourite line in this article is "you can change everything... except the moustache!"
edit Great Article
This article is like dead baby jokes. If you are offended by things on this site you're taking things too seriously.
Don't be stupid. I wouldn't tell a little kid "how many of you would it take to paint a wall red?" to his face. Its just mean.
edit Okay
I was giggling like an idiot while reading most of the article, but when I got to "250 GB of lebensraum; invading Poland recommended to obtain extra space. (problems may occur)" I burst out laughing. A+++++. Would read again. Nonymous 05:57, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Loved the references to Schindler's List. Was wondering why it's supposed to fade to monochrome; then it hit me, like a luger. Little red riding Jew. --AmericanBastard 05:49, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
edit Holopoly....
There seems to be a similar game (joke?) Well, this might be a game for poor Holocaust Survivors not able to afford a computer.
- Brilliant! -- The fatgoat Talk (to me, obviously) The Crap I've Done 05:35, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
edit Minor Edits
Made a few minor edits for grammar and spelling.
Disgusting, offensive article. Bravo! Keep 'em coming! And Heil Hitler! --Grammar Nazi 05:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
edit I am deeply offended!
Mhaille, you bastard! Thought you'd slip this one under Uncyclopedia's collective nose, eh? I'll see your ass in court for this one, buddy! -- §. | WotM | PLS | T | C | A 06:07, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah well, I was only following orders... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
I'm always deeply offended by alleged victims making demands based on phoney claims!
edit Whatchawatcha
There's even some subtlety on the page. I like that.--188.8.131.52 21:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
edit DPRK Section
Ok, warning to whoever previously decided, UNILATERALLY, to just remove this section, DON'T DO IT AGAIN. It's not up to one person to decide whether it's funny or not. I personally think it's worth posting and some other people think so too, and bad grammar is no reason for you to wipe out the entire thing- you can correct the grammar u know!
Hey, lets take the one most painful events in a single race of people's history, while some people who survived it are still alive, and turn it into a joke! Thats funny, if you are not Jewish. Or have ever experienced holocaust.
- Poorly written does not equal bad grammar. Poorly written equals poorly written. It was unfunny, redundant, and pointless. Need I break it down?
- "== Holocaust Tycoon: The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (that's 5 inherent lies in one name) ==" -- Preachy, with an aside that pulls you away from the article.
- "The people who were in charge of the original Holocaust tycoon have now grown so fat off of the profits they made from the game and expansion that they were too lazy to even sue when this expansion got going and as a result this one is made by Red Army Enterprises in partnership with SS and People's Army Games and Torture." -- Long, boring sentence, written in a style that sounds like a high school creative writing assignment.
- "In the new expansion the player goes beyond controlling a camp in some desolate country, now he is the desolate country." -- Well, if we *do* want to get into grammar, if you can't even recognize a comma splice, you have no business writing. That's only one step up from a run-on. You also need a comma after expansion. Plus, this figurative language is at odds with the literal language used with the rest of the article, as well as general encyclopedia style.
- "The player is given the title of the Minister of The Interior which gives him complete freedom to do anything he wants with the country of North Korea building up to the eventual nuking of the United states, the subsequent failure of the nuke and its exploding in the center of Pyongyang as well as the follow up invasion by US forces." -- Once again, way too long, rambling, pointless, and with poor grammar.
- "In the last mission the player must sacrifice the entire army in one great and glorious offensive in the name of the Great Leader so that he may delay the US army for two minutes which will be enough to starve the remaining prisoners and keep them out of US imperialist hands, after which the player must defect in order to survive and betray the whereabouts of the Dear Leader." -- Long, poorly written, preachy, and adds nothing to the article.
- I can keep going if you want me to. It only gets worse. -- Rei 16:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
edit DPRK Section 2
Red Army Marshal (too lazy to log in again)
We'll see if people like it.
Oh, and my atrocious grammar is </s>one of the few things im proud of in life
- Atrocious grammar is nothing for a person who wants to write (even on a parody encyclopedia) to be proud of.
- I can only assume that you meant to say "We'll see if people like it." It's hard to tell when someone has this much trouble with English (which I hope is not your native tongue). I won't touch it for 3 days. After that, if it's not redone and/or does not get outsider support, your poorly written, pointless addition is fair game, and I'll remove it mercilessly. -- Rei 22:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi! Outsider support here!!! You have three days to delete my comment or I will throw a hissy fit just like you!
- What makes you think that I would delete a comment?
- Two to one, it stays for now, unless others weigh in against that piece of junk. :P -- Rei 17:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
edit Inconsistency
In the overview, it says the goal of the game is "bla bla, while gaining the favor of fuhrer". Later, it says fuhrer is a unit in the game, that represents the player. Which is it? Pick one. And don't you dare giving me the "Oh, I didn't read your comment so I'm not gonna respond" bullshit. --Medvedev (scream) 17:53, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Kid, Uncyclopedia doesn't even know if Tetris or Jenga was responsible for 9/11. Uncyclopedia idolizes American Dad when bashing Family Guy but bashing both when talking about American Dad. Fucking satire, kid. 220.127.116.11 12:46, October 6, 2012 (UTC)
--18.104.22.168 05:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC) Comment, what comment?
edit Careful with Unit edits!
Beause I liked them, and they're usable. Erm... why do I care about their usability? Because I'm gonna program this game! =) By the way, anybody wanting to participate, write me. The game would be made in VB6.
--184.108.40.206 13:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
edit Re: inconsistency
Erm, what about having Fuhrer the main unit in game (because if he was removed, it would be a great loss), and having the goal: "while gaining favor of the Master Race"?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs)
edit Well done
Oh hell, we got the ED seal of approval. That's it, pack your bags folks, will the last one leaving please turn of the lights and smite the last Jew. ~ 14:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
- Laugh out loud, Jews. Sheneequa 22:20, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure Sheneequa and Ket are the only ED users who have actually bothered to read more than just the random page stuff and AAAAAAAA. --Reverse Genocide Cockatrices 13:12, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
edit Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
One afternoon, I was in the backyard hanging the laundry when an old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. But when I walked into the house, he followed me, sauntered down the hall and fell asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back. He resumed his position in the hallway and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap. " The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with ten children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep."
I cried from laughter Sorry, if not left a message on Rules.
I read that story in fourth grade. Chicken Soup for the Soul, bitch! 220.127.116.11 12:46, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, how I can send PM?

Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds was fired Wednesday along with third base coach Lenny Harris and bullpen coach Reid Cornelius.
Miami also announced a $40 million, three-year contract with third baseman Martin Prado, who would have been eligible for free agency, and exercised a $2 million club option on outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
Miami finished fourth in the majors in batting average at .263 but fourth-lowest in runs at 655 and next-to-last with 128 homers. The Marlins improved in all three categories from 2015.
Manager Don Mattingly said the organization decided to move in a different direction with its coaching staff.

The Monza race was great and must have been a real sickener for both Tarquini and Huff as they dominated the race. Fair play to Priaulx and Farfus as they took advantage of the situation but at least Huff got third.

Looking at 2005 645ci and have questions
Hello everyone,
I am new here :-)
I went to the BMW dealer on saturday determined to order a 335i coupe and ran into a 2005 645Ci (CPO). I really was stunned by the car and am now thinking about buying it this week. I desperately need some advice as I have not researched this model thoroughly. So I am not sure if I am missing anything.
Some facts:
The car is priced at $37000, has 22000 miles on it (two owners). The Carfax report that the dealer showed me shows no problems, the CPO checklist shows no issues whatsoever.
The car is black with chateau red interior, Nav, HUD, active steering, sports package and some other goodies (I can't remember).
My main concern is that I live in Minneapolis so there is some snow here (not as much as in the norttheast though), so RWD car was something I had never considered before. But I am thinking about getting some good
(any recommendation?) On the bright side, it is pretty flat here so no hills to climb. Does this make sense?
How does the deal sound to you? The price seems very attractive to me but this also makes me concerned about whether there is some hidden problem with the car. I never bought a CPO before so I am not sure how reliable it is. Although I do have an X3 and have been very happy with BMW service in general (but go to an other dealer for service).
Thanks for any help! Really appreciated.

Once you know the basics about services, OS X's underused shortcuts, your next question is inevitably: Where can I find more? You can add—and even create—your own services. Here are four of the best:
[ Tip: Move background windows in Mac OS X ]
1. DevonTechnologies' WordService
You can find some third-party services if you look around. DevonTechnologies' free WordService is actually a bundle of services that allow you to perform actions on selected text. This set of services is for you if you ever find that you need to reformat text copied from an email, remove line breaks, change text in ALL CAPITALS to normal case, or Capitalize Every Word In A Text without having to manually alter your texts.
2. DevonTechnologies' CalcService
CalcService, also available free from DevonTechnologies, provides calculation functions from within any application that handles services. With this set of services, you can type a formula in a text document and then use one of the services to perform the calculation. Also use the services to either display the result or add it to your document (replacing the formula, or appending the result to the formula). I'm not a math geek, but anything that can take a formula like bs(sin(sqrt(2)))*sign(cos(pi*pi)) and give me an answer (it's -0.987765945993 if you're curious) is pretty nifty.
3. MacAutomation's Finder services
The MacAutomation website offers a number of free services, including some that encode music files and others that work with Apple's iPhoto, Mail, Safari, Terminal, the OS X Finder, and more. One of my favorites is Disk Item • New Disk Image with Selection, which is part of the site's Finder Services bundle. This service creates a new disk image file (.dmg) containing the selected Finder items. If you send or archive files in disk images, this service can save a lot of time. The other services included in this bundle are Disk Item • Rename Selected Items and Disk Item • Set Spotlight Comments.
4. Your own custom-made services
Just about anything you can do with OS X's Automator can be saved as a service. This makes your workflows extremely easy to access and use. In a recent article, "How to convert PDFs to Word (and other formats)," I describe how to build an automator workflow to extract text from a PDF. Take this one step further, and you can save the workflow as a service.
Launch Automator, and, in the Choose a Type for Your Document pane, click on Service, then click Choose. At the top of the window, in the menu following Service Receives Selected, choose PDF Files. Next, click on PDFs in the Library column of Automator, then in the second column, click on Extract PDF Text and drag that to the right-hand section of the Automator window.
Press Command-S to save the service, and, in the dialog box that displays, give it a name, such as PDF to Text. Click on Save.
Check to make sure it's working. Find a PDF file in the Finder, right-click on it, and choose the Services sub-menu from the contextual menu that displays. You should see your service listed there. Also choose Finder -> Services, and check to make sure it shows up in the menu there. You should see it in both places.
Notice that if you select a file that isn't a PDF, the service won't show up; that's because you specified, in the beginning, that the service would only work with PDF files.
This story, "Four great Mac OS X services you don't know about" was originally published by Macworld.

Naked Florida Woman Arrested For Hitting, Threatening To Kill Deputies
A Key Largo woman is accused of threatening to shoot and kill deputies... all while standing in the buff.
Authorities were called to a Big Pine Key home by a real estate agent Tuesday who claimed a woman was living in the home without the owner's permission.
Deputies say 52-year-old Kim Larman refused to put clothes on when she answered the door of the home completely naked.
Larman allegedly became belligerent and refused to cooperate with officers. She went to lay down on her bed when deputies asked her if she had any weapons. She replied, "If I had a gun, then I would shoot you and kill you."

NEWPORT BEACH – Retired Orange County Superior Court Judge H. Warren Knight, who was at the forefront of the private judicial arbitration movement, died earlier this month from complications of lung disease. He was 83.
Knight founded JAMS, the Resolution Experts, in 1979 in Santa Ana, offering private mediation and arbitration services outside the Superior Court framework. JAMS has since grown to 26 offices in the United States, London and Toronto, with affiliates in Italy, The Netherlands and Ireland, according to a news release. It is the largest alternative dispute resolution companies in the world.
Knight was an Orange County Superior Court judge for six years and a municipal court judge for two. The Orange County Trial Lawyers Association twice named him judge of the year.
Prior to his appointment to the bench, he was in private practice with Portigal & Knight in Orange County for 12 years.
"Judge Knight was a visionary," said former Appellate Court Justice Jack K. Trotter, according to the news release. "He saw a better way for lawyers to do business and he never stopped believing it. More importantly, he was my friend for 50 years and I will miss him greatly." Trotter joined JAMS soon after it was founded.
Knight was born in Charleston, W.V., on Oct. 16, 1929. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1952 and University of Virginia School of Law in 1955. He joined the Marine Corps in 1955 and was stationed in California until his discharge four years later.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn, five children and eight grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Calvary Chapel East Anaheim, according to the news release.

Florence, Italy
Event Details
This three hour tour is a great way to explore three of Gotham's most historic locations. This tour meets at the East Broadway F train station, and takes you through legendary Lower East Side streets like Essex, Grand, Hester, Orchard, and Delancey. Along the way, we'll get a feel for what life was like for the millions of immigrants who arrived here throughout the 19th and early part of the 20th Century. We'll also see how this neighborhood has transformed into one of the hippest and trendiest areas in the city.
From there, we'll discover NoLita(North of Little Italy), a charming area that is home to Lombardi's, NYC's first pizza place. This neighborhood features great Italian food, cool bars, former gangster haunts, as well as landmarks like Old St.Patrick's Cathedral (where the Baptism scene in the Godfather was filmed!) and the 14th Ward Industrial School.
Nolita is also the birthplace of legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The last part of the tour has us going through the East Village. We'll hit the Bowery, a 400 year old thru-fare that has undergone a radical transformation in the past 30 years. What was once a rough and tumble street known to be the underbelly of NYC, the Bowery now features swanky hotels and upscale boutiques and bars. We'll pass by the exact spot where the famous punk rock club CBGB once stood. We'll also see the Hell's Angels Headquarters, Cooper Union, St. Mark's Place, and much more.
Some of the sites we will see on the Lower East Side, Nolita and East Village Tour:
- The Jewish Daily Forward building
- Seward Park Library
- Hester, Grand and Delancey Street
- Orchard Street
- The Pickle Guys
- Old St. Patrick's
- Lombardi's Pizza
- The Bowery

Wide receiver Anthony Armstrong passed through waivers unclaimed on Tuesday after being released by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and now is a free agent. But Armstrong didn't immediately generate any interest from his former team, the Washington Redskins, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Armstrong spent the first two seasons of his NFL career with the Redskins, recording a combined 51 catches for 974 yards and five touchdowns in 13 starts. But he had a quiet preseason – hampered by a shoulder injury for much of it – and recorded three catches for 76 yards, and Washington released him prior to the start of the season.
Armstrong signed with the Miami Dolphins and had three catches for 12 yards in five games played before getting released two weeks ago. Jacksonville claimed Armstrong, but he didn't appear in a game, and was released on Monday.
Despite their unstable receiving unit, the Redskins didn't express any interest in Armstrong's services after he passed through waivers.
The Redskins have been without top free agent signing Pierre Garcon for six of their nine games this season because a torn ligament in the second toe of his right foot has rendered him unable to push off, run or cut with any speed. Garcon said the toe even hurts when walking.
The receiver missed the last five weeks while trying to let the injury heal with hopes of avoiding surgery. Garcon returned to practice on Monday in hopes of playing again this season, but the Redskins will not know until later this week if he will be able to play Sunday against Philadelphia.
Armstrong, like Garcon, played the 'X' receiver position while with Washington. Second-year pros Leonard Hankerson and Aldrick Robinson have split time at that position, but neither has produced consistently. Hankerson has 26 catches for 342 yards and a touchdown, but has struggled to hold onto the ball. Robinson, who has started two games, also has been guilty of drops and has just nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. A third option, Brandon Banks, has seen time at that position as well, but has been even less productive, recording six catches for seven yards.
After opening the year with one of the top scoring attacks in the league, the Redskins mustered a combined 25 points in their last two games thanks largely to a lack of playmakers on offense.
Armstrong had his best season with Washington in 2010, when he started 11 games and recorded 44 catches for 871 yards and three touchdowns. He suffered a hamstring injury early in the 2011 campaign and despite contributing regularly on special teams, never managed to work his way back into consistent playing time on offense, finishing the year with just seven catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns.
It's not out of the question, however, that Washington would consider bringing Armstrong back if he remains on the market and Garcon is unable to avoid season-ending surgery. His familiarity with the offense, speed and ability to contribute on special teams as well would seem to make him a fit.
The Redskins earlier this season brought back tight end Chris Cooley — whom they also released before the start of the season — when starter Fred Davis was lost to a torn Achilles' tendon.

Mozzarella just might be the season's quintessential cheese. Prized for its creamy texture and mild flavor, it's a neutral canvas for spring produce, complementing light and bright flavors without adding making things too heavy.
1. Caprese di Farro (pictured above)
Farro — the oldest cultivated grain — is a great base for sides. Dress it up for a spring gathering by tossing the hearty grain with sweet cherry tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives and chunks of mozzarella for a Mediterranean-style salad with enough heft to be a vegetarian main dish.
2. Baked Caprese Salad
Giada offers an easier way to serve caprese: by turning it into bruschetta, topping toasted baguettes with Roma tomato and mozzarella. Assemble the stacks ahead of time, then pop them in the oven right before serving to maximize the molten bubbling effect.
3. Fennel Caprese Salad with Tomato Jam Toasts
Hunks of soft mozzarella cheese add contrast to the crunchy combination of fennel and watercress in this abundant spring salad. Dress the greens with balsamic vinegar and homemade tomato jam, using what's leftover to spread on toasted baguette slices.
4. Strawberry and Mozzarella Salad
If you've already played out mozzarella's savory side, try pairing the soft cheese with fresh, juicy strawberries.
5. Roasted Red Pepper and Mozzarella Skewers
This recipe calls for ciliegine mozzarella — plump, cherry-sized mozzarella balls that are perfect for wrapping in hearty peppers and skewering. Give the it a festive look by mixing red, orange and yellow peppers.

Mac Lellan, J. (1998, July 22). 'Perhaps It Was Not A Dream'. Suffolk Life, pp.3, 7.
"Perhaps It Was Not a Dream"
"The memories that one has of someone are a poor substitute for the reality of life experiences that were shared," said Robert Youth, Professor of Psychology at Dowling College. He was referring to friend and colleague Psychology Professor Lucien Buck of Oakdale who, after a year-long battle, succumbed to colon and liver cancer on June 15.
His death closes one of the great chapters in the history of Dowling. Over the past 28 years, he and his colleagues prided themselves on providing an exemplary education to more than 20,000 students — primarily from Suffolk County.
After receiving his doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Massachusetts in 1962, Buck moved to Long Island to start teaching and raise a family. His first position required he help establish the Department of Psychology for the Adelph-Suffolk College at the former Vanderbilt estate in Oakdale, now known as Dowling College.
By 1970, Buck was one of 10 active members of the college's teaching staff who were instrumental in wrestling the old Vanderbilt summer mansion, conservatory and grounds from Adelphi to help establish Dowling College and bring it back almost to the brink of a university-level institution.
As a clinical psychologist, Buck inundated himself in research looking for more innovative ways to diagnose and treat behavior disorders.
In the first few years under Dowling's banner, Buck and the late Aaron Kramer (Dowling's poet and English professor) pioneered the concept of working with mentally impaired individuals in a consortium with students and residents of the Kings Park and Pilgrim State psychiatric centers, as well as with the learning impaired through the Cleary School for the Deaf in Ronkonkoma.
In their essay, "Opening New Worlds to the Deaf and the Disturbed," published in the 1973 book "Poetry the Healer," Buck and Kramer wrote, "As an education experience, the plan….was to combine classroom theory (psychological and literary concepts) with the application of poetry to human interaction."
The course took students well beyond theory and brought psychology and literature alive. Students were forced to face their own limitations as well as those they were working with, and "related to these people as people rather than patients defined by diagnostic categories."
The success was everyone walked away a better person. Students realized some of the vastness of the world they live in and learned, with a little psychological theory, poetry can transcend almost any handicap. The residents at the centers got to be creative, entertained, and most of all, listened to without any prejudice or medical bias.
"Lucien Buck was not in any way a superficial individual; pretense had no place in his life and being around him was never hard, especially if you were patient in hearing him out," said Youth during a memorial service in mid-June.
Throughout his more than 80 published papers, Buck argued many issues, but often focused on the concept of helping people through individual humanism, a concept he called "Gandhian Synthesis."
"Lou Buck was truly a consummate learner and optimist," said friend and colleague Kant Nimbark. "He was a genuine "Gandhian Academician, who was extremely alert and willing to share everything right to the end. He was one of the most honorable of men."
Using his personal experience with cancer, Lou Buck carried his dedication to academia and humanism to the end, spending many of his final days completing a 32-page dissertation, "Normal Illness Versus Wellness." The paper warns America it does not have to succumb to this or any other disease, and will be presented before the 56th Annual Convention of the International Council of Psychologists next month in Melbourne, Australia.
"An individual is healthiest and feels most alive when caught up in projects, or when there are others around with whom one can exchange opinions… the best of both worlds is had by those working with others toward the fulfillment of a shared objective," wrote Buck.
Also he noted, "Normal people resist tapping into fantasy, walling themselves off from the resources of the unconscious. This need to maintain the safety of conformity to social expectations obstructs curiosity and capacity for critical analysis."
Friend and colleague David Adler suggested Buck was not only interested in working with people, he typically pressured them into thinking. "He was one of the toughest interrogators with a trademark of always intently listerning and eventually ending his point with a question inquiring, "What do you think?"
Youth said he could simply say, "Goodbye to a person who never allowed himself to play the victim… to a non-violent warrior when it came to representing others…to a healer who stressed that normalcy is not to be necessarily associated with health, and, that abnormal was not a term to denote illness…Goodbye to a teacher from whom one could learn many things and from one who shared with others when he learned something from them…Goodbye to a co-worker who stood as a role model for how being a professional meant always striving for excellence…to a friend with whom one could disagree vigorously and yet, still know that debate had not tarnished friendship."
As each class of graduates from Dowling College looks back in fond memory of the days along the quiet and picturesque Connetquot River, it is easy to recall some of the teaching colossals who made the school's reputation; Lucien Buck, professor of psychology for 35 years, is one such giant.
"This was not a dream," said Buck's youngest daughter, Lorraine. "My father was a scholar and a human being who dared us to dream."
Lucien Buck is survived by his wife Beverly; daughters Cynthia, Lisa, Leslie, and Lorraine; son Robert; sisters Elizabeth Seals, Jeanne Louise Mattie, Mildred Wishart, and Jean Buck; brother Robert; grandchild Elise Lapadula, and the students who carry on his legacy.

Child prodigy provides listeners with surprises
Emily Bear (Concord)
Life's not fair, alright? I have to remind myself of that as I listen to the stunning talent of 11-year-old piano prodigy Emily Bear. I mean, where does a kid get off playing piano with such skill, sensitivity and poignancy? Bear started experimenting with piano when she was 18 months old and playing at the White House by age 6. But here's the kicker. Her album isn't just a lot of acrobatic and pedantic playing. The music is moving, filled with melodic surprises and displays a wide range of emotional feeling. And it's all the product of Bear's gifted musical mind. From a standpoint of musical maturity, she stands shoulder to shoulder with talented players of any age. She is not to be missed.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.- On an evening that started with last season's WAC Champions being honored pregame it was newcomer Shon Briggs making the most of his CSUB debut, scoring a game-high 21 points on 9-12 from the field in the Roadrunners' 96-54 win over San Diego Christian Saturday night.
"We've put him in a lot of position where he can just do what he likes to do," Barnes said of Briggs' effort. "We've kind of figured him out a little bit in where he likes to get the ball and he's really dangerous once he catches it."
The junior forward led three other Roadrunners in double figures as Damiyne Durham added 20 second-half points as the Roadrunners who never trailed in the contest, stretched their 46-32 lead in the second half considerably by outscoring the Hawks 50-22 in the second frame. Jaylin Airington scored 15 while Dedrick Basile added 11 for the Roadrunners.
"I thought it was a great team effort," Barnes said. "There were times when we definitely played the way we like to play and there were times where we didn't execute as well but I thought we had great effort and we got a lot of guys involved."
CSUB led by 14 at the half and pulled away almost immediately in the second half. Matt Smith scored two of his nine points with 11:56 remaining and CSUB would cruise from that point forward. Durham scored on the next possession via a floater in the lane. He would continue the hot hand scoring 18 points in the final 11 minutes including six three pointers in the victory.
CSUB was 19-28 from the field in the second half and 38-59 for the game good for 64%. They also managed 9-15 from three-point range, forced 22 turnovers which led to 27 points and outrebounded the Hawks 38-15. The Roadrunners also took advantage of their athleticism in the post outscoring SD Christian 56-18 in the paint. The Hawks were led by Isaiah Milan who scored 15 points.
The Roadrunners return to action on Tuesday night as they travel to Tucson, Ariz. to take on No. 10 Arizona at 8 P.M. (MT). That game will be available nationally on PAC-12 Network, you can also listen to the game on Newstalk 1180 and 96.1 FM KERN.
CSUB returns to the Icardo Center on Saturday, Nov. 19 hosting UC Santa Barbara and Tuesday, Nov. 22against valley-rival Fresno State. Tickets for both games are selling fast and are available at GoRunners.com/tix or by calling 654-BLUE.

Publish on the net and be damned - but only in Australia
Page Tools
There's a cluster of internet servers in South Brunswick, New Jersey, that is at the heart of more than its fair share of international grief and litigation. These are the servers used by Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Barron's magazine and other organs, for the online editions of its publications.
On October 28, 2000, an article on Barron's online titled "Unholy gains" was uploaded onto this little cluster of six computers, as a result of which the mining entrepreneur Joseph Gutnick sued in Victoria. Ultimately, after the case went to the High Court and back to the Supreme Court of Victoria, the action was settled on terms that didn't seem to distress Dow Jones Inc.
The same servers were home to an article published on The Wall Street Journal online on March 18 last year titled "War on terror". This upset a Saudi Arabian businessman, Yousef Jameel, and he sued in London. The article was written by one of the paper's staff reporters in Washington and it said that a "cache of al- Qaeda documents seized last year by US agents in Bosnia identifies some of Saudi Arabia's richest and most influential families as among the first financial supporters of Osama bin Laden".
The list is known as the "Golden Chain" and there was a link from the online Wall Street Journal story that took people who clicked it to the top 20 alleged financial backers of bin Laden. The name "Yousif Jameel" was fourth on the list.
The Golden Chain is an important ingredient in civil proceedings in Washington brought by victims of the September 11, 2001, catastrophe against several hundred defendants, mostly Saudis, who, it is said, funded bin Laden's terrorist organisation. This is known as the Burnett case. The list was released to the civil claimants and Dow Jones maintained that no restrictions were placed on its use.
Jameel sued in London saying his reputation had been damaged by this false publication and that he wanted to be "vindicated". Dow Jones said it was just reporting material that had in essence been made available by authorities in the United States.
Last week Jameel's case was permanently stayed by the Court of Appeal in England. That is, he lost, which is a vastly different outcome to the one the High Court of Australia delivered for Gutnick in similar circumstances.
Interestingly, another Brunswick played a part in both cases, the Duke of Brunswick, who heard that something beastly had been published about him in an 1830 edition of the Weekly Dispatch. He heard this 17 years after the publication and sent a manservant to find the offending organ. A copy was discovered at the British Museum and at a newsagent called Harmer. The Duke sued Harmer, even though the limitation period for libel was six years.
The obliging judges on the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the delivery of a single copy by the newsagent to the Duke's manservant constituted a separate act of publication and time to sue ran from that moment.
The Duke of Brunswick's case (1849) has been a leading authority for what constitutes a publication in defamation. By extension it is also authority that a cause of action arises in each and every jurisdiction where the material that is sued on is read.
Dow Jones's case in the High Court was that the place where the material was uploaded onto the internet was the place of publication - New Jersey. Gutnick argued (successfully) that the place of publication was where the article was downloaded and read - in his case, Melbourne.
For Dow Jones to have succeeded in Australia it would have had to persuade the High Court in the internet age of the 21st century to find a way around an authority that had gripped the law since 1849. Do you think the High Court could bring itself to do this? Not on your nelly.
Did the English Court of Appeal in the Jameel case find a way around the confounded nonsense of the Duke of Brunswick decision? Absolutely. It told Jameel, in effect, to get out of town with his action and to find somewhere else to bring it. Preferably New Jersey.
Further, it said that if the Duke of Brunswick were to try it on today, he too would be told to get out of town. Suing on a publication to one person would involve costs way out of proportion to what could be achieved. It would be struck out as an abuse of process. No mercy shown there to the teams of lawyers who are not inconvenienced if costs are out of proportion to what is achieved.
Similarly, for Jameel to sue in England, where five people clicked on the Wall Street Journal link, three of them his own associates, amounts to a waste of time and an abuse of process.
The Guardian reported that nine people clicked on the Gutnick story in Australia.

CLIVE MILLER HINDLE, 46, admitted 1973, practising at material time in partnership as Hindle Campbell, North Shields, cleared of allegations of unbefitting conduct. Allegations were that: he acted in a manner which compromised or impaired or was likely to compromise or impair his acting in clients' best interests and/or good repute of the respondent or profession; that he acted contrary to principles of Law Society 1990 guide to professional conduct of solicitors; that he obtained loans from client without ensuring client was separately represented. Tribunal told allegations followed formation in 1986 of property development partnership between respondent and two others and later involvement of business woman who invested money in venture but who failed to heed respond-ent's advice to take independent legal advice. Tribunal said it was wholly unsatisfactory for solicitor to enter business venture with client without taking the most careful steps to ensure that client was protected, particularly in terms of advice. They considered Hindle, who admitted acting unwisely in matters where there was potential conflict of interest with client, had acted foolishly. However, they did not consider he was guilty of unbefitting conduct.
STUART SAMUEL GARCIA, 50, admitted 1977, practising on own account as Stuart Garcia & Co, London N1, fined u3,000 and ordered to pay u1,130 costs. Allegations substantiated he was responsible for excessive delay in submitting bills and papers for taxation in legal aid cases resulting in counsel not receiving fees within a reasonable time of submission of fee notices. Also alleged he failed to comply with Solicitors Complaints Bureau decision. Tribunal told some of the fee notes which remained unpaid had been left for eight or nine years. Tribunal accepted there had been no dishonesty, but considered he had been inefficient.
MARTIN JAMES SALSBURY, 62, admitted 1960, practising as MJ Salsbury and Co, Bedford, fined u500 and ordered to pay costs of u1,100. Allegations substantiated he practised while not holder of current practising certificate, practised without having paid indemnity contributions, failed to deliver accountants report in compliance with rules. Tribunal told Salsbury admitted practising for year and a half without holding practising certificate and that from 1989 when business in conveyancing work declined he found himself with insufficient money to pay indemnity contribution.

G-O-O-D M-O-R-N-I-N-G, Good Morning, Hey! Hey! Good Morning!
On my way to work today, I called my dad to remind him it was move-in day at Cornell College. You might wonder why I would do that. I like to call and remind him of the day he didn't hug me good-bye when he dropped me off at college several years ago. I would imagine there are moments when he is frustrated about my choice to work on college campuses for the rest of my life. Every year he gets reminded of the day he didn't hug me good-bye.
We've spent the last several days in New Student Orientation training, anticipating your arrival today and could not be more excited to have you arriving on the Cornell College campus. The NSO staff are ready to help you feel welcome and the Residential Life staff have been making sure your rooms are ready for move-in. We've done the Ice Bucket Challenge, spent a day building our team, planned a special surprise to happen over lunch on the Orange Carpet in the Thomas Commons, and worked to make sure each aspect of your first days are both enjoyable and make sure you are settled.
Today you'll spend time going through the Validation and Move-In process, exploring campus, eating lunch, meeting with your Peer Advocate, going through the official welcome to the college, saying good-bye to family or others who helped you move-in, and then having dinner.
While I wish the sun was shining a little brighter today and this week, I know we'll have a great time over the course of the next few days. And, hug your family goodbye, if you have a moment. I'll see you at Validation!

Standup paddleboarding is a workout that surrounds you with nature, like chopping down a tree or escaping from a coffin. Look alive with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $25 for a full-day standup-paddleboard rental for one (a $50 value)
- $45 for a full-day standup-paddleboard rental for two (a $100 value)
Equipped with a paddleboard and a leash, customers spend all day standing over serene waters as they slice along the shoreline. Both options also include 20% off clothing, jewelry, sunglasses, and other merchandise, excluding boards and paddles, in Wet Feet Hawaii's shop.
Wet Feet Hawaii
When Jeff Chang and Karen Lar Rieu—the brother-sister team behind Wet Feet Hawaii—aren't scrawling on the ocean's waves with their paddles, they're usually in their shop chatting with customers about their experiences. Behind their counter, they sell and rent gear, and orchestrate a team of paddleboard racers, an ocean conservationist, and water enthusiasts as they lead lessons and tours.
During the eco tour, a conservationist—who was the first woman to cross the Molokai Channel on a standup paddleboard—teaches the basics while leading tour members to conservation areas to expound on the problem of plastics in the ocean. On the downwind tours, some of Hawaii's top standup-paddleboard racers guide and coach guests to tackle the infamous downwind runs of Oahu. With four different levels to suit all experiences and 5- to 12-mile runs, tour members can challenge themselves without challenging every dolphin they see to a race. In recognition of their service to the sport and the community, Honolulu magazine named Wet Feet Hawaii Best Standup Paddle Shop in Honolulu for 2010.

Grade • B-
DVD •These days, you get Liam Neeson two ways: comic villainy (see "A Million Ways to Die in the West" or "The Nut Job") or the take-charge action hero in ludicrous thrillers like the "Taken" films. "Non-Stop" is Neeson in "Taken" mode, playing a troubled air marshal who receives text messages from someone threatening to kill a passenger every 20 minutes unless $150 million is transferred to a Swiss bank account.
Neeson's character must find the killer and convince the pilot (Linus Roache), flight attendants (Michelle Dockery and Lupita Nyong'o among them) and passengers that he's not crazy.

Yes a grade 1! The left-hand line in the blocky groove.
This is a nice easy route that will help new climbers get the hang of using quick draws with little risk.
Eventually you have to use your hands. It is one ledge after another.
Perfect first outdoor lead for new climbers. Good fun but loads of loose gravel all over the shop.

"Marlee is magic onscreen. Because of her situation, she does a lot with her face and body. It gives her a very appealing combination of strength and natural vulnerability." --Robert Singer, executive producer/creator of "Reasonable Doubts" quoted in Us, October 1991.
"I don't walk into a room and expect people to say, 'Oh, here's the deaf actress, let's treat her differently.' I never thought of myself in those terms, and I've never let it hold me back. In fact, I would say I've done everything that I've ever wanted to do in my life, except one thing. I have always wanted to be a cop!

Everything we could have wanted in a night at the 100 Club? Everything.
Fresh from receiving their Mercury Music Award nomination for their debut album 'Man Alive', Everything Everything took to the stage in a determined state of confidence and elation. Fans and friends clamoured for tickets and squeezed themselves into what was sure to become an increasingly rare intimate performance from the Manchester based band. Firing through an 11 song set of standout tracks from their critically acclaimed LP, the glorious eccentricity of their sound delighted the eager crowd and proved the bands staying power.
Looking on from the side lines, the unmistakable platinum spiked barnet of Romance's lead singer; the band successfully whipped the crowd into a frenzy with their punk fused tracks and eighties style earlier in the evening, readying the crowd for the main act. With buckets of raw energy, Romance, recently signed to Universal Records are one to keep your glittered eye on.

Toxic Childhood: how modern life is damaging our children...
and what we can do about it
(Orion, £7.99)
Is 21st century life damaging our children? In the last couple of decades, huge changes in adult lifestyles have affected the way we look after children, both at home and in school. Toxic Childhood explains how a toxic mix of side-effects of cultural change is affecting the development of a growing number of children. It also explains how a few simple adjustments to life-style can 'detoxify' children's lives.
Reviews of Toxic Childhood
Excellent book... practical, sensible and eminently attainable advice on on how to detoxify childhood.
A super child-rearing manual, founded in science, bolstered by much reading, a lot of interviews and a long career in education.
Sue Palmer's Toxic Childhood is extensively researched, fluently written and easily read. It is a guidebook for parents, grandparents and all who care about present and future generations, as well as being an academic work in its own right.
Essential reading for all those who work with children. It has fascinating and sometimes startling revelations about the damaging influences on the young within our society and offers some practical and very readable ideas and recommendations for all those who endeavour to give children the very best we can.
A splendid book that draws together a vast swathe of the most authoritative research from a whole range of fields and disciplines... that together explain 'the worsening behaviour of children and the explosion in numbers of special needs pupils'.
If you are even a tad concerned about the influences at work on our children, this book is a Must Read!... No one can afford to miss this excellently written book.'
I could not put it down. It seemed to pull together all my worries about young children growing up in a fast changing world, and yet...the book is in fact very positive. The research it has drawn upon makes it a very powerful read. And, of course, it is written by a good writer in a very accessible way.
A fascinating account of the problems facing kids today...contains solid parenting advice on subjects ranging from diet to childcare.
All too often we are told what is wrong with society/parenting/environment and more, but seldom told how we can so something to redress the balance.... This is what the author set out to do, and she has succeeded. Read Toxic Childhood.
Cannot recommend highly enough... a pretty earth-shattering read. It really makes you think about how childhood has changed.
Palmer's Toxic Childhood took the lid off national angst over modern influences on children. The title has become shorthand for everything that's wrong with children's lives from excessive testing at school to violent computer games, sex, drugs and alcohol.
A terrific book... and so timely.
One of the most powerful books of the year
Just what we all need to be reading. The levels of anxiety about our children are reaching new highs and we desperately need this kind of careful analysis.
This is a compelling book, well-researched and authoritative, with powerful messages in each of the chapters, and practical suggestions that are both helpful and realistic.
Almost every page in this book raises something compelling about the way we are treating children. It is a worrying book, but not unhopeful or unhelpful, and everyone concerned with children can rest assured that Sue Palmer is on their side.
Both refreshing and honest... objectively considers an array of disciplines surrounding childhood and their underlying side effects. Then it integrates them and develops a clear and common goal for parents and others alike to jointly tackle the toxic environment that children are being exposed to... Blame is not an issue of this book; it is about change and investing in the pivotal emotional needs of the young.
A great book.
Every parent should read this book, as it does contain a wealth of information you should know.
Absolutely essential reading for anyone who has, or who works with, children. It's like Eric Schlosser (author of the exposé Fast Food Nation) for parenting.
One of the most talked about books on the market... teems with perceptive observations and sound advice.
One of the most inspirational books I have ever read... a must-read for all parents.
A brilliant book, Toxic Childhood, demonstrating how deprived children bear the brunt of rapid social change, and the knock-on effect this has on Britain's streets, schools and crime rate.
This is one of those books that touches a nerve... The undeniable truth is that Sue Palmer is right and we must all act before it is too late... Read the book.
Whether or not you are a teacher, youth worker, parent or anyone else who comes into contact with kids, this book is both an uplifting battlecry and an essential tool in our understanding of the children of today and tomorrow.

Minors' Access to Cigarette Vending Machines -- Texas
The sale of tobacco products to persons aged less than 18 years has been prohibited by law in Texas since September 1989 *. This law requires cigarette vending machine owners to post signs on their machines stating the illegality of tobacco product sales to persons aged less than 18 years and that merchants convicted for selling tobacco products to underaged persons be fined a maximum of $500. In August 1991, Arlington, Texas, enacted legislation requiring installation of electronic locking devices on all cigarette vending machines. These devices render the vending machine inoperable until the store owner electronically unlocks the machine on customer request. To assess minors' access to cigarettes through vending machines, in October 1993 the Texas Department of Health conducted a study in Arlington and five neighboring communities. This report summarizes the study findings.
In September 1993, the health department obtained a list of business establishments with cigarette vending machines owned by the largest cigarette vending company in the Arlington area. A total of 116 establishments were identified in the study area; 59 (51%) machines were in establishments considered easily accessible to minors (i.e., restaurants, gas stations, motel lobbies, food stores, and recreational facilities). Data were collected for 42 of the 59 sites.
Four investigative teams consisted of one adult paired with one minor (aged 15-17 years). One purchase attempt was made at each of the 42 establishments. During each purchase attempt, the adult entered the establishment first and asked for street directions. The adult then observed while the minor entered and attempted to purchase cigarettes from the vending machine. Minors were instructed to answer, if asked, that the cigarettes were for themselves.
While attempting to purchase cigarettes from vending machines, no minors were challenged by business owners. Of the 42 attempts, 41 were successful. Of the 41 sites where purchase attempts were successful, 24 (59%) were located within 1/2 mile of a school. Most (35 {83%} of 42) purchase attempts occurred in restaurants; however, cigarettes were bought at every type of establishment where purchases were attempted. Warning signs prohibiting cigarettes sales to minors were posted on vending machines in 32 (76%) establishments.
Of the 16 vending machines located in business establisments in the city of Arlington, one was equipped with an electronic locking device. The single unsuccessful purchase attempt occurred at this electronically locked machine.
Reported by: JM Gomez, Arlington Police Dept; GJ Flores, SR Tobias, Office of Smoking and Health, CR Allen, MD, Public Health Region 2, PP Huang, MD, Bur of Chronic Disease Prevention and Control, DM Simpson, MD, State Epidemiologist, Texas Dept of Health. Office on Smoking and Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion; Div of Field Epidemiology, Epidemiology Program Office, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The findings in this report indicate that, despite laws prohibiting cigarette sales to persons aged less than 18 years, minors readily purchased cigarettes from vending machines in Arlington and five neighboring communities. Although the only failed purchase attempt in this study resulted from a vending machine equipped with a remote-controlled locking device, compliance with legislation requiring these devices has been minimal (1). The finding that only one of 16 vending machines in Arlington was equipped with the device is similar to findings of studies about locking device usage in other areas (1).
The findings in this report are subject to at least two limitations. First, data in this report were obtained for only one vending machine company in the Arlington area because the Texas Department of the Treasury does not require vending machine companies to specify the locations of their machines. Second, because of time constraints during the study, data were not collected for 17 establishments considered easily accessible to minors; however, sites included in the analysis probably do not differ from sites that were not included.
Approximately 82% of adult smokers report that they first tried a cigarette by age 18 years, and 53% were daily smokers by that age (2). The initiation rate for smoking increases rapidly after age 11 years (3); in Texas, a 1989 survey of 4400 high school students found that 55% of 12-year-olds had already tried cigarette smoking (4). Because vending machine sales are not monitored actively by adults, cigarette vending machines can be an important source for younger adolescents (i.e., aged 12-15 years), who are more likely than older adolescents (i.e., aged 16-18 years) to be refused an over-the-counter cigarette sale (5). Studies indicate that younger adolescent smokers are more likely to buy cigarettes from vending machines than older adolescent smokers (6,7).
Unregulated cigarette vending machines may facilitate initiation of smoking among younger adolescents; therefore, more effective regulation of these sales may be an important preventive measure. Prevention of adolescent smoking may be enhanced by the recently enacted Synar Amendment to the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (ADAMHA) Reorganization Act. ** The Synar Amendment requires that states demonstrate effective prohibition of the sale of tobacco products (including cigarettes from vending machines) to persons aged less than 18 years as a condition of receiving full ADAMHA block grants. As a result of this study, the Arlington City Council enacted legislation prohibiting cigarette vending machines in all business establishments that admit persons aged less than 18 years.

Bunny, I'm glad I came across your post, and I agree with Das Sheep. Trying to compete with online sources who have less overhead can be difficult. How do I know? I've been an online retailer for the last ten years, I started before it was so HUGE to shop online. I'd say you will do better to buy your product, stock it, and ship it. To be honest, you can "test the market" online with just One Thousand of that money, and see how you do. Set the other 5K aside while you hone your online selling skills.
I'm currently putting out up to 100 orders a day (some are multiple item orders, so it's a LOT). You'd get a much bigger bang for your business buck if you sold online. I currently sell on FIVE web sites, and make my living solely online. Do PM me if you wish, I even have a great wholesale resource for you that you may want to look into.
Seize The Day!

Being the huge outdoor enthusiasts that we are, it wasn't hard to put together this years theme for my little guys fourth birthday celebration. It encompassed some of the fun special things we love to do together as a family like camping, hiking, and especially Jeep trail riding.
For the actual invitation I went with something a little different and designed our own event tickets. The front of the ticket was modeled after a vintage state fair poster with added fun clip art surrounding the theme. The back of the ticket included our actual property layout complete with GPS coordinates and marked trails. {the odd 'blank' spots are where our 'personal' info went =) if you're wondering} I put all the elements together in a publishing program and sent the files to UPrinting for the actual printing. A set of 100 printed tickets cost just around $20.00 making it a very inexpensive option for custom printed invitations.
For the invitations we are able to personally hand out, I made a little 3D tent to house the tickets. The tents were cut from kraft cardstock and personalized with each family's name using my Silhouette Machine. I used the box triangle design {box_triangle_C20091122133510_19210} from their online store and altered it just a bit to make it look more like a camping tent. The tickets slid perfectly inside the bottom of the box.
For the invitations we could not personally handout and had to mail, I created another version of a tent; just flat to fit inside an envelope. These were cut from the same kraft cardstock and personalized with each family's name {or individual child's name for our little friends}. I created and cut the design in the Silhouette Design Studio. The software is very easy to use and allows you to create full cut or perforated lines. The front 'tent flaps' were perforated and folded back to create the tent opening.
I added a cut line near the bottom to be able slide a ticket into each tent.

The correct pH level is undeniably important for every aspect of our health right down to the most elemental part of our being. It affects mental outlook, metabolism, organs, tissues, cells, molecules, atoms and chromosomes. The pH level of the blood should register at 7.4, which is slightly on the alkaline side of the scale. If it falls below this number toward the acidic side, your body will do everything possible to bring it back to a 7.4, even withdrawing the alkaline mineral calcium from your bones to do so. Unfortunately, most people are completely unaware of this fact, as demonstrated by the typical lifestyle that pushes body chemistry way over to the acidic end of the pH scale and any chances for total health to the realm of impossibility.
What is pH?
The designation pH stands for "potential of hydrogen" and it refers to the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the number of hydrogen ions in the liquid. The more hydrogen ions present, the more acidic the solution. The scale is numbered from 0 to 14 and a solution that is neutral measures a 7. A reading below 7 is acidic, and above is alkaline. Many of the body's fluids including blood, pancreatic juice, bile, saliva and even seminal fluid are alkaline and must remain so for health to prosper. On the other hand, gastric juices secreted in the stomach like hydrochloric acid are highly acidic, measuring in at around a 2 on the pH scale.
Special strips designed to test the pH of a solution can help you determine the health of your body chemistry.
Factors That Cause pH to Plummet
The Instant pH Raiser
The pH of plain water is a neutral 7, so when you drink water it naturally raises the pH of your body when it registers on the acidic end of the scale. The reason many people dislike drinking water is that they're taking it straight out of the tap. Yuk! Tap water is full of chemicals like chlorine that are ok for washing dishes, but not for drinking. Try one of the smooth-to-the-palate bottled waters like Evian® or Fiji®. And if you really want to raise your pH level, try Evamor® artesian water, which registers a whopping 9.0 on the pH scale due to its high mineral content.

A good impersonation can be indistinguishable from the real thing, which is why Method actors are no longer allowed to play dictators. Take in a safer form of imitation with this GrouponLive deal to see Bruce in the USA at the Altar Bar, presented by Drusky Entertainment. For $25, you get two tickets for general admission on Friday, November 30, at 9 p.m. (up to a $51.35 value, including all fees).
Born to run and raised to rock socks off, Bruce in the USA puts on a rip-roaring tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. From conquering the Vegas strip to packing theaters across the land, the band's uncanny imitation of a Springsteen show leaves audiences glistening in elated sweat. Lead singer Matt Ryan, from the popular Vegas Legends in Concert revue, has been wearing The Boss' shoes for more than a decade, imitating his idol's rugged look, gravelly voice, and strictly blue-collar wardrobe. Throughout the near two-hour bash, Matt leads E Street doppelgängers such as Matthew Sully, the Little Steven surrogate, and Dave McLaurin, the Clarence Clemons stand-in, through a marathon of prominent hits such as "Dancing in the Dark" and "Glory Days," along with deeper cuts certain to assuage hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool-bandana fans.
Altar Bar
For a century, Altar Bar was a church—which is fitting, now that the Strip District venue has become a house of worship for all denominations of rock and roll fans. Renovated with an abundance of lasers, LED lighting, and projector screens, the three-level musical fortress sends sleek railings and staircases swooping between couches, full bars, and VIP areas. With a capacity of 650 guests, the venue stays intimate enough that all fans get a gander of the full-sized stage, which features a runway perfect for grandstanding rockers and very small planes. On the façade lives Pittsburgh's largest wheatpasted mural, a work in progress depicting famous artists including The Misfits, Snoop Dogg, and other notables who have played at Altar Bar.

Last year 23andMe and Genentech launched an online study of metastatic breast cancer to learn more about what role genes might play in how a person responds to bevacizumab, also known as Avastin®. (Avastin® is not approved by the FDA for treatment of metastatic breast cancer.)
We were happy with the positive response from metastatic breast cancer patients, and are excited to announce that Genentech and 23andMe are expanding the eligibility requirements for this research. Starting today, the InVite study is open to any patient in the U.S. who used Avastin prior to 2013 for treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, relapsed glioblastoma, metastatic renal cell carcinoma, or metastatic breast cancer.
Our goal is to recruit 1,000 people to participate in this study. InVite study participants will be asked to send a saliva sample for genetic analysis and to complete up to five short online surveys over the course of a year about their cancer as well as their experience with Avastin. Participants also have the opportunity to provide an optional blood sample for additional analyses.
How you can help
If you have been diagnosed with one of these advanced cancers and have been treated with Avastin prior to 2013, please consider joining the InVite Study. If you know someone who is eligible, please help spread the word about this innovative study: link to find out more.
For more information about the InVite study email email@example.com.
By combining participants' genetic data with survey responses, we hope to discover new genetic markers for these advanced diseases, and to understand why some people respond well to treatment when others do not. 23andMe is excited about partnering with Genentech on this new and innovative web-based approach to data collection and research process.
(While this study may generate important scientific findings, participants should not expect that these findings will change how they are or have been treated for their disease.)
We appreciate the strong partnerships of breast cancer advocacy groups that have supported and raised awareness for the InVite Study over the last year. These groups include the Avon Foundation for Women, BreastCancer.Org, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Network, the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, the Cancer Support Community, Facing Our Risk for Cancer Empowered (FORCE), EmpowHER, and Stand Up To Cancer. As we expand the study, we are excited to announce new partnerships with the Kidney Cancer Association, LUNGevity, Fight Colorectal Cancer, National Lung Cancer Partnership, Colon Cancer Alliance, and the Musella Foundation.
