Justin Bieber's Message to Anne Frank and Five Others We're Sure Drop on This European Vacation
Monday, April 15, 2013 at 10:54 a.m.
On singer Justin Bieber's travels to Amsterdam, perhaps after a visit to a local coffee shop and maybe before checking out the red light district, he visited the Anne Frank house.
This historical site where a teenaged Anne Frank and her family hid in a tiny attic from Nazis before being sent to death in a concentration camp obviously moved Mr. Bieber, because he wrote the following message in their guestbook, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."
For those not in the know, a belieber is a fan of Justin Bieber. Most Word War II historians agree, worshipping at the altar of Justin Bieber would have been on the top of Anne Frank's list of things to do if she was able to live a full life, unmarred by religious persecution. Also, (and honestly) the Anne Frank House did comment they were "pleased to welcome him," even after reading his scribbles in the guest book.
Here are some other humble messages Justin Bieber might want to leave on the remainder of his European tour.
The Van Gogh Museum
"Hey Vinny, you got quite an eye for painting. Too bad you only got one ear. You don't get the full effect of my album, Believe, without stereo sound."
Versailles, France
"Wow, nice digs. Marie Antoinette seemed like a cutie, but she's got to watch those carbs if she wants to get with the Bieb. She can't be eating cake all the time."
Pompeii, Italy
"So sad to see all these people die thousands of years ago from the volcano. They never had a chance to hear me sing or watch me dance or even see me host SNL. I'm the only thing hotter than lava."
Wiltshire, England
"I don't get what the big deal about this place is. It's just a bunch of rocks. It's not like they spell out anything like maybe Justin Rocks. That would be unbeliebable!"
Auschwitz Concentration Camp
Auschwitz, Poland
"Depressing. I kind of zoned out during the tour. I know a lot of people died here, it wasn't cause of Bieber fever was it?"

Dear Racket list, As a non-expert of Scheme macro system, I've been struggling for a while to find out how to define a macro that can take a procedure as argument. For example, suppose you want to define a macro that takes an identifier and an expression, modifies the identifier in some way, and defines this new identifier with the expression. And suppose you want the identifier modification to be generic, i.e. the macro should take as argument a procedure that tells how to build the new identifier. Here is a way to do it (see below). Maybe this is a well known technique, maybe there is a better way to do it, or maybe this is straightforward to experts ; but I couldn't find it on Google or in different books, and since that took me some time I thought this could help others. Any comment is welcome (some of my own comments might even be wrong). #lang racket #| This tutorial shows how to create a generic variable definer, that can take a procedure as argument to build the id name. |# ;; First, we create a simple macro that modifies the identifier name. ;; ;; (datum->syntax #'var new-id-expr ....) makes the new-id visible ;; in the same context where the id held by var is used (here, ;; at the call to define-me). ;; See datum->syntax for more information. (define-syntax (define-me stx) (syntax-case stx () [(_ var val) (with-syntax ([id (datum->syntax #'var (string->symbol (string-append (symbol->string (syntax->datum #'var)) "-me")) #'var #'var #'var)]) #'(define id val))])) (define-me a 1) a-me ;; Second, we would like the building of the new id to be modifiable, ;; without having to rewrite the entire macro. ;; We would like to take another argument to define-me, ;; but this is not possible in a straightforward way, ;; because such arguments can only be syntax objects, and not generic code. ;; ;; So, instead we create a macro maker to abstract the relevant part, ;; and call that macro maker to instantiate the desired specific macro. ;; Then we can use that new macro to define the variable. (define-syntax-rule (define-define-me define-me id-maker) (define-syntax (define-me stx) (syntax-case stx () [(_ var val) (with-syntax ([id (datum->syntax #'var (string->symbol (id-maker (symbol->string (syntax->datum #'var)) )) #'var #'var #'var)]) #'(define id val))]))) ; Instantiate a macro for a specific id-maker. (define-define-me define-me2 (λ(id-str)(string-append id-str "-me2"))) (define-me2 a 2) a-me2 ;; Third, we incorporate the macro call to define-me2 into the macro maker. ;; ;; The intermediate macro, however defined at the top level, ;; is only "temporary", because its name (define-me) is ;; completely internal to the surrounding macro, thus hygiene hides it. ;; This also means that the surrounding macro can be used several ;; times without interfering with itself. ;; ;; Note that inside define-me, var must be taken from the call ;; to define-me, and not directly from define-me-proc arguments, ;; so that datum->syntax can create the new id for runtime, ;; on the contrary to id-maker which is used at compile time. (define-syntax-rule (define-me-proc id-maker var val) (begin (define-syntax (define-me stx) (syntax-case stx () [(_ var val) (with-syntax ([id (datum->syntax #'var (string->symbol (id-maker (symbol->string (syntax->datum #'var)) )) #'var #'var #'var)]) #'(define id val))])) (define-me var val) )) (define-me-proc (λ(id-str)(string-append id-str "-me3")) a 3) a-me3 ; We can also define a helper, as long as it is defined for-syntax, ; since it is called inside the define-me internal macro, ; which is at syntax-level. (define-for-syntax (id-maker id-str) (string-append id-str "-me3-also")) (define-me-proc id-maker a '3-also) a-me3-also -- Laurent -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

when will the tp2 be available in store?
2. lizardpro (Posts: 5; Member since: 01 Sep 2009)
I bet they got a smaller stock of the TP2 with 6.1 and wanted to wait for 6.5
3. tuminatr (Posts: 861; Member since: 23 Feb 2009)
I think they misjudged the popularity of this phone, hopefully it will be in the stors soon
5. VZWfangirl (Posts: 71; Member since: 25 Jul 2009)
I'd have to agree. To be honest I don't think they really care about this phone. They didn't feature it on the front page when it first came out and they still haven't, but the Nokia Twist and Rogue are featured.
4. rwrife (Posts: 32; Member since: 25 Sep 2009)
I ordered one early last week for $159 and got a call on Monday to tell me that they're out of stock nationwide and couldn't give me an ETA on when they would be in stock and was offered the Touch Pro as a replacement.
6. xcalibur (Posts: 49; Member since: 18 May 2009)
really? I ordered sunday morning and got it tuesday.
7. xcalibur (Posts: 49; Member since: 18 May 2009)
oh yeah if your a person who keeps there phone on vibrate i would be careful with this one.
8. b5awd12v (Posts: 4; Member since: 18 Aug 2009)
is the vibrate not enough on it
10. xcalibur (Posts: 49; Member since: 18 May 2009)
nope you have to be not moving to really feel it where as the curve i could walk and know if someone called or texted me, but the rest of the phone is great but that little problem with the vibration really bother's me, i got until the 20th of october to decide if i want to keep it.
12. The Spartan (Posts: 98; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
Funny, the vibration on mine was nearly shaking my entire desktop earlier...
14. xcalibur (Posts: 49; Member since: 18 May 2009)
wish that was true for mine
9. VZWemployee89 (Posts: 5; Member since: 25 Sep 2009)
ya they may be out of stock online, but you can still definitely order it from the customer service side of things. the warehouse for web orders and the warehouse for CS are separate.
11. avengedfo7ld (Posts: 14; Member since: 25 Sep 2009)
They are out of stock at the warehouse too. I've called a few different times because I get different responses from each tech support person. It's funny how they don't even know what the phone is most of the time. One lady tried to sell me a Touch Pro 1 for $150.00 lol. Then another told me that Verizon had discontinued the phone and would not be getting any more in. She later said that she actually did not know when new shipments would be coming. Whats the point of having a decent phone on Verizon if you can't even supply the demand?
13. The Spartan (Posts: 98; Member since: 27 Jan 2009)
I think it's pretty safe to say that Verizon had no idea this phone was going to sell this well. This phone is one helluva phone.
15. behold--me (Posts: 650; Member since: 22 Jun 2009)
hahahaha thats gonna piss A LOT of people off. :) way to think ahead!!!!!!!!!!
16. tonyc_42 (Posts: 61; Member since: 18 Aug 2009)
ever heard of supply and demand??? the lower the supply usually means the higher the demand. i think it's genius
17. awtouchpro2 (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Oct 2009)
I've had a TP2 for the last 4 weeks from Verizon. i have been asking for a replacement due to a bad earpiece speaker. I was told today that VZW is discontinuing the TP2. The tech guy I spoke with assured me that he SHOULD be able to find me a replacement, but that VZW has made the decision to no longer offer this phone. bummer.

Match Report
Colwyn keep United at bay
FC United were held to a one-all draw at Colwyn Bay on Saturday afternoon as a Phil Marsh opener was cancelled out in the second half by their Welsh hosts.
The home side stared the brightest and could have taken the lead inside the first minute, when Sam Ashton got behind a shot from the edge of the box. In fact the home side should have been ahead thanks to dangerous striker Holsgrove but he was thwarted by a smart save from Ashton.
It took 20 minutes for the Reds to get anything like a decent chance, Rob Nugent heading over an Adam Carden free-kick. Soon after, FC took the lead with a ball played over the top. The Bay keeper seemed to have it covered but his clearance was charged down by Marsh who controlled the ball and fired into the net despite the efforts of ex-FC United defender Danny Jarrett on the line.
The goal seemed to kick the reds into action with Jerome Wright having a shot over the top and Carden seeing a goal bound shot tipped wide by Jackson in the home goal. David Chadwick was the next see a decent chance saved by the keeper with a header after a great Carden run down the right wing. The half ended with Tunji Moses seeing a long-range shot well tipped over by Jackson as FC threatened to go into the break with a healthy lead.
The home side started the second half as they did the first but it was the Reds that had the first chance when sub Danny Williams fired wide when placed well. At the other end, Holsgrove had another shot well saved by the ever-dependable Ashton.
The game flared up on 70 minutes after a Nugent challenge. Once the ref had restored order, Ashton was called into action again with a superb tip over. The resultant corner was played in, the ball found its way to Holdsgrove who stabbed the ball home.
United could have snatched the win at the end of the game but for a remarkable triple save from substitute goalkeeper Sanna in the home goal. In the space of 30 seconds he kept out shots from Abdi Ibrahim, Simon Garner and Carden, with a goal-line clearance in there somewhere for good measure.
All in all, it was yet another good run out for FC United and manager Karl Marginson should have a better idea of his starting line up against Boston.

Matthews: Media Shouldn't Cover RNC Criticism of Hillary
Now that Barack Obama is assuming the presidency, partisan criticism is suddenly so passé. Just ask Chris Matthews. In the course of cheerleading anchoring the MSNBC coverage of Hillary Clinton's confirmation hearing today, Matthews suggested that the media shouldn't cover the Republican National Committee's criticism of Clinton.
The comments came during the Hardball host's chat with Newsweek's Jonathan Alter. A few minutes earlier, Matthews had assured us that those who had the privilege of knowing Hillary personally were aware of what a "wonderful" person she is. Then it was time to attack Republicans for refusing to join the Hillary love-fest.
View video here.
JONATHAN ALTER: What I thought was a little surprising was that the Republican National Committee fired some shots this morning and some blast emails, revisiting differences between Clinton and Obama on the campaign trail. And it had the whiff of something old and kind of out of synch with where our politics are right now. And I think there are a lot of Republicans who actually would say it's not the time for the Republican party to be picking at those scabs, but moving forward. If they have other disagreements with Hillary Clinton based on administration policy, then they can raise those at the time, but this kind of partisanship right now feels a little old-fashioned.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well isn't that staff-driven snarkiness? Isn't that what we're watching here? The kind of thing that staff people get paid to do, so they come out with this tired, old partisan cheap shots, and they throw them across the bow, and they get the principal, whoever it is at the time, to sign onto them.
It's so tired. And it's so predictable, and the press, unfortunately, uses it as news-helper, and puts it in its news accounts. As if it's actual news. I'm doing media a criticism here. I should never be a media critic --
ALTER: No, you're absolutely right.
MATTHEWS: -- but I don't understand why it's even news when some staff-level person writes some snarky material for the principal person. It's put out under the name of Republican National Committee, revisiting some old dispute between contestants in primaries, as if that's clever.

A woman and her daughter whose pit bulls mauled a 75-year-old neighbor in Paradise Hills, causing her to lose two of her limbs, were ordered Friday to stand trial on felony and misdemeanor charges.
Alba Cornelio, 39, and Carla Cornelio, 19, were arrested about a week and a half after the June 18 incident, when Emako Mendoza was attacked in the backyard her home when she went to retrieve the newspaper.
Mendoza's left leg was amputated below the knee and her left arm was amputated below the elbow as a result of her injuries, according to her husband who testified during a preliminary hearing that lasted two days.
"Her limbs were just hanging by threads," said James Mendoza who found his wife lying in her backyard garden.
After listening to the testimony, San Diego Superior Court Judge Yvonne Campos ruled that a prosecutor had presented enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial. The hearing was interrupted late Friday when Alba Cornelio began to hyperventilate and was removed from the courtroom by paramedics.
Her lawyer, Donovan Dunnion, explained afterward that Cornelio had experienced a "cardiac problem" and lost feeling in her extremities.
Deputy District Attorney Makenzie Harvey presented evidence from several witnesses during the hearing, including another neighbor on Alleghany Street, who said both he and his dog — a poodle named Fluffy — were injured in an encounter with the pit bulls in December.
Then in June, the dogs pushed through a gap between two fences that separated the Cornelios' yard from the Mendozas', according to the testimony. Mendoza said he was awakened when Alba and Carla Cornelio rang his doorbell, alerting him that the dogs were in his yard.
Moments later he found his wife.
"She was crying for help," he said. "(Saying) 'Jim! Jim! Help me! Help me!'"
He said Emako Mendoza has had five surgeries and remains in a rehabilitation facility. She was not able to come to court.
Dunnion argued that there is evidence the pit bulls may have been agitated by a beehive found in the Cornelios' yard, causing the animals to become aggressive. He said the Cornelios believed the fence, and the chain-link gate that James Mendoza used to fortify it, would hold.
"Nobody in their right mind would have thought that wasn't adequate to keep the dogs out," he said after the hearing.
If convicted of charges including owning dogs that caused serious bodily injury and failing to protect the public from a dog, the mother and daughter could be sentenced to up to three years and eight months in prison.

On a day dedicated to honoring memories, why not pay homage to those designers inspired by their own nostalgia? Evocative of time and place, these clothes tell a story entirely their own. Baby Bean's daywear is handmade from vintage textiles, while Sailor Rose designer Kirsten Mogensen uses antique Americana clothing and fabric as a starting point for her whimsical confections. Others, like Dagmar Daley and Dressing Em, feature classic vintage styles and silhouettes with modern appeal. Blu Pony Vintage's current collection is inspired by the roaring '20s, and that era has never felt fresher.
Then, of course, there are brands like Lilly Pulitzer, which manages to reinvent itself every season…even as it sells the same shift dresses that Palm Beachy girls have been wearing for 50 years. How do you incorporate vintage into your life?—CC

Target: President of China, Xi Jinping
Goal: Encourage the reintroduction of South China tigers into the wild
The South China tiger (also known as the Xiamen tiger) population was estimated at about four thousand around the 1950's. In subsequent years, hundreds and thousands were eradicated as the subspecies were hunted because they were deemed a nuisance to the country. Although the Chinese government began to ban the killing of South China tigers in 1979, the damage was already done. By the early 1990's the population was projected to be only about 80 distinctive tigers.
Currently, the South China tiger population is considered by researchers to be "functionally extinct," because it has not been clearly spotted in the wild for more than two decades. But with many reports of footprints and local individuals having sighted them, there may be some surviving in some provinces of China. The non-governmental organization "Save China's Tigers," with the backing of China's forestry organization, has established a proposal to bring captive-born South China tigers back into large enclosures in southern China. In late 2007, one baby tiger was born in a reserve in South Africa, which was the first to be born in another country other than China. Since then, a number of tigers have been born.
With the help of the public, this research can possibly help save the tiger population by bringing it back into China. Please sign this petition to support the reintroduction of the South China tigers.
Dear President Xi Jinping,
The South China tigers have been extinct for more than 2o years. The tigers were sadly killed because the people of your country thought they were a nuisance. A group of people are willing to save the tigers by reintroducing the tigers from captivity back into the wild. These beautiful creatures deserve to be brought back into the wild where they can begin to grow their population again. If there is even a small chance that these animals are still in existence, we feel that it would be beneficial to take the opportunity to bring them back. The establishment of laws to end tiger farming will help the tigers thrive in the wild this time around.
These animals are important to the growth of your country. They create a balanced ecological system that is beneficial for the other animals in the wild. Please support this reintroduction so that that researchers can have the funding to put this plan in action.
[Your Name Here]

From a media release:
Grammy Award winner Mark S. Doss returns to Opera Tampa in Aida
Tampa, Florida – April, 2012 – Global opera star and Grammy Award winner Mark S. Doss returns to Opera Tampa as Amonasro in Aida on April 20 and 22, 2012 at the David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Doss most recently performed with Opera Tampa as a guest artist at A Night of Stars, held in February 2011 to honor Placido Domingo, and as Mephistopheles in Faust in April 2009.
Composed by Giuseppe Verdi, the opera tells the tale of Ethiopian Princess Aida, who is captured and brought into slavery in Egypt. Radames, the Egyptian military commander, is torn by his love for Aida and his duty to the Pharaoh, with tragic consequences for both.
"I am delighted to be returning to Opera Tampa," states Mr. Doss. "I have performed under the baton of Maestro Coppola many times, and I recall with great pleasure that it has been 21 years since we first collaborated together on The Barber of Seville. Next came The Marriage of Figaro, Tosca, Faust, the Domingo Gala, and now Verdi's Aida."
Amonasro is one of Mr. Doss' signature roles, which he began performing some 14 years ago. His interpretation of the Ethiopian King continues to bring him to the stages of leading opera houses around the world, including a commanding debut at the Vienna State Opera and performances at the renowned Teatro alla Scala in Milan and London's Covent Garden. Over the years, critics have praised Mr. Doss' work as Amonasro, which is a powerful role that requires a singing actor. Opera News called his portrayal "compelling" and Reviewer Ltd. (UK) applauded his work on the Aida DVD recorded live in Brussels, recognizing "another fine performance" in which Mr. Doss was able to "subtly break free of the 'stand and deliver' directions and create a huge amount of emotion in his face and voice."
Mr. Doss arrives in Tampa after starring as the bass soloist in Handel's Do-It-Yourself Messiah in Chicago, as Thoas in the Canadian Opera Company's production of Iphigenia in Tauris (Iphigenie en Tauride), and after a comprehensive run of Master Classes and recitals. Mr. Doss was also recently awarded Planet Africa's 2011 Entertainment Award, recognizing his many achievements in the performing arts, and for serving as a positive role model for youths. The celebrated bass-baritone has performed over 60 roles with 55 of the world's most prestigious opera houses.
Following his run with Opera Tampa, Mr. Doss' upcoming performances include The Cantor in Bloch's Sacred Service with the United Nations Association Choir in Houston, Texas, Paul Rayment in the World Premiere of Nicolas Lens' opera Slow Man in Poznan, Poland, the Title Role in Wagner's The Flying Dutchman with Teatro Regio Torino (Oct. 2012), and The Four Villains in Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann with Opera Tokyo (Nov./Dec. 2013).

SHOPPERS who have waited five years for a zebra crossing on a busy road in Wantage have been been told work will finally begin this month.
In 2007 Oxfordshire County Council was given £45,000 to to install a zebra crossing, a traffic island and paint new markings in Limborough Road.
The money was part of section 106 planning gain from David Wilson Homes, when the developer built Willow Grange retirement block.
But despite having the money, the work has never been carried out.
Wendy Stimpson, 67, from Barwell, uses the road regularly to get into town, but she is concerned by the speed at which drivers take the corner going in and out of Sainsbury's car park.
She said: "People are driving too fast around the corner and cannot see if anyone is trying to cross.
"One day there will be someone who can't walk quickly enough and they will be knocked down.
"There are a lot of people besides myself who would like to know when we will be getting this crossing put in.
"We are told date after date but no crossing."
She added that her grandson had almost been involved in an accident there recently.
The land on which Willow Grange was built was sold to David Wilson Homes by its original owner, Bushbuy, which still owns the land on which the shopping precinct is built.
Bill Atkinson of Bushbuy said: "The road opposite the Sainsbury's garage is so wide it is a death trap to cross.
"You are getting an increasing flow of traffic and everybody coming from the other side of the bridge has to cross over.
"It seems unfortunate that, in times of financial constraints, a much needed crossing point is delayed even after payment has been made by the developer for the works."
The county council officially adopted the stretch of road from Bushbuy earlier this year, after the developer connected street lamps on the road to the electrical supply.
Vale district councillor for Wantage Jenny Hannaby said the work was delayed by a "catalogue of oversights".
"When I asked in 2009 when we were getting road work done we found out the road was not adopted," said Mrs Hannaby.
"I believe the hold-up has partly been because the county council would like to do all the work in one go.
"It is vital that we get this work done in November, and that all of the work gets done together."
County council spokesman Martin Crabtree said: "Implementing a road scheme like this requires us to bring together a number of elements such as land ownership, design safety audits and traffic counts.
"We also need to take account of local factors when scheduling the work and we try to select a time that is acceptable to traders and the local community."
Mr Crabtree said work is due to start on November 30 but could not say how long it would take to complete.

The Shadow finds himself up against his arch-enemy, Shiwan Kahn, who is threatening New York City and the world with his new atomic bomb. The Shadow has to try to save the day (and the world) using his unique powers of invisibility and mind-confusion.
Slinking on to the screens just after The Mask and The Crow, which are much hipper, and a few years after Batman and Dick Tracy, which were based on much more famous heroes, The Shadow became the next masked avenger to be reincarnated as a big budget live-action hero. A mysterious vigilante with the power to cloud minds to make himself seem invisible and who knew what evil lurks in the hearts of men, the Shadow was originally a 30s radio character (voiced by a young Orson Welles) and pulp magazine hero.
This lavish adventure opens with an origin story set in the late 30s and starring opium lord Alec Baldwin who turns good under the tutelage of a mystic Tibetan guru and returns to New York. Posing as an idle playboy a la Bruce Wayne, Lamont Cranston (Baldwin) fights crime while wearing a natty hat and a false beak, employing a network of agents to terrorise the mob. He still finds time to romance telepathic sweetie Margo Lane (Miller), whose crusty old scientist dad (Ian McKellen) has just invented an atom bomb which is in danger of falling into the hands of Shiwan Khan (Lone), the last descendent of Genghis Khan.
It evokes the conventions and charms of 30s pulp fiction in rather more nostalgic mode than Quentin Tarantino, and is a pleasant, eye-pleasing movie, but, after Brandon Lees zombie rock star and Jim Carreys green-headed toon, the mysterious Baldwin seems somewhat grandfatherly and remote.
The film has a wonderful super-production look and Baldwins Shadow breezes through via nifty invisible effects, but the plot never really gels, and for an action fantasy is rather cold

Review Rategreat product
Great product! I also have used the Terro ant and termite spray - I had carpenter ants in my bathroom under the sink - within a few days they all disappeared. I spray the area once every few weeks and have seen no spiders, ants, etc.
Review RateGreat product!
Terro gets the job done! I've always bought this product to get rid of spiders and it takes care of other insects like ants too! Terro is the brand that works for insects.
Review RateSorry spiders...We're doing a deep cleaning of a detached garage and we're avid gardeners. There are always spiders lurking...but this did the job! We sprayed into the cracks and crevices and around all of our potting supplies. We started cleaning a few days later and there were almost no spiders; it's a big garage. I love the fact that the spray didn't smell awful...but I do feel a little bad about the spiders...
Review RateIt actually worked!I have been fighting an ant problem for over 2 months, and have used multiple other products from well known companies. I was in the store yesterday and saw this product...I'd never heard of it, but I was intrigued because they didn't have a product to kill everything in the yard...they clearly focus on ants and spiders. Reluctant, I decided to try it. I was amazed when I woke up this morning and looked for ants. Not ONE living ant was found. I could see 30 or 40 per morning before...and now, not even one ant. I started looking for them...moving furniture, checking behind plants...NOTHING. Not one ant has been found all day. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has an ant problem. It's very well priced for what it does, and it works better than anything else I've tried. Terro, I sincerely thank you for making this product and letting my family reclaim our home!
Review RateGreat product!Terro Spider Killer always work for me to kill and prevent spiders. It also does well against other insects like ants too! This works 10x better than Raid or any other insect killer out there. Highly Recommended!
Review RateProduct satisfaction faring
I bought your product more approximately one month ago. Though it would be good for getting rid of ants in the home. I sprayed and 24 hours later the ants were back. I sprayed at least three times in one week and the spray (Terror) does not live up to its claim. It looks like I am stuck with an inferior product.Response From Terro®Tara : Consumer Relations Representative
We apologize for this experience and appreciate the feedback. This product is a contact killer, meaning it will begin to work against the insect once they have come in contact with it. It may take a few moments for the insect to be killed as the species, size, and amount sprayed will all be factors. We do not recommend to spray this more than once per week. The residue from the spray will continue to kill insects for up to 12 weeks. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-800-800-1819 ext 458 for further assistance.
Review RateThe Best Spray I Have Ever UsedI purchase this spray every year. It works great! It not only kills spiders and bugs but also kills fire ants. I make sure to order extra because my mom and sisters love it too.
Review Rateeasy to useThis is a really good spray--easy to use, not at all messy. It has very little if any smell, and it goes right where you aim. It works fast too; I have some large wolf spiders that get into the house in the fall, and while I'd rather catch them and put them outside, that's unfortunately not always possible. But I don't want to share my home with them either.
Review RateGREAT PRODUCT!!!!PRODUCT PERFORMS EXACTLY AS PROMISED! DOES A GREAT JOB!
Review RateMy absolute favorite spider spray!Bought this locally and was really happy with it. can no longer find it so was very glad to be able to get it on-line. Lasts longer and works better than any other brand.
- All About
As the largest order of arachnids, there are between 40,000 to 50,000 known spider species throughout the world. Most spiders can build webs from silk-spinning structures called spinnerets located at the rear of their bodies. Spider silk is extremely strong and sticky. Spiders do not have jaws to eat solid food, but instead have chilicerae or fangs that inject venom into their prey to liquefy their meal.

Undergraduate Student Government's campaign season this year is set to be a flurry of chalk, T-shirts and tweets.
An election season after the first unopposed USG campaign in nearly 50 years, the OSU student body will have to choose between the largest cluster of competitors since 2003.
There are set to be six presidential and vice presidential campaigns on the ballot this spring. In 2003, six campaigns also ran, but one — Mike Goodman and Frank Sasso — swept 31.6 percent of the vote, according to the USG Alumni Society website.
This year's ballot is slated to list:
- Andrew Warnecke, running with Logan Recker
- Celia Wright, running with Leah Lacure
- Current USG Vice President Josh Ahart, running with Jen Tripi
- Mohamad Mohamad, running with Sean Crowe
- Ryan Hedrick, running with Nicole Spaetzel
- Vytas Aukstuolis, running with Nicholas Macek
There are also set to be 104 senatorial candidates running for about 40 spots in the general assembly, said Chief Justice of the Judiciary Panel Tyler Byrum, a fourth-year in engineering physics.
Byrum said his role in the election process is remaining impartial, making sure USG bylaws are being followed and "just generally running the election."
Campaigning is set to begin Feb. 19 and run until voting is held between March 3 and 5, Byrum said in an email, and a presidential debate is slated for Feb. 25 at the Ohio Union.
Current USG President Taylor Stepp, a fourth-year in public affairs, was the only presidential candidate on the ballot last spring, the first time a candidate had run unopposed since 1966. He was also the first two-term USG president in about 10 years, since Eddie Pauline's 2001 and 2002 successes.
If Stepp's vice president, Ahart, a fourth-year in public affairs, were to win this year's election, he would be the first elected vice president to move up the next year since 2007. That was the year Kate Christobek, who served as vice president while Ryan Fournier was president in 2006, won the presidency.
Ahart, who has been involved with USG since he was a freshman, said he's enthusiastic about the possibility of moving into the presidency.
"I don't really think about when's the last time that happened or historically this or that, but I'm really excited about the election, and if we win, for what we can do next year," he said.
Ahart also said with six campaign teams, there is an opportunity for greater OSU student engagement.
"Last year we had a lot of unity around Taylor and I as candidates together … I think the organization was more unified around us," he said. "This year it's not a bad thing (to have more candidates because) if you think about it we can get out to as many students as possible from every area of the university … which will inevitably increase voter turnout."
In 2012, when Stepp was elected to his first term, voter turnout was the highest since 1975 with 8,279 votes. The following year, turnout was only about half of that, with 4,027 votes cast.
Some of the other candidates set to vie for the presidency said their experiences are what led them to pursue the position.
Wright, a third-year in public health, said she and Lacure decided to run because they've been involved with USG since they were both freshmen.
"Our involvement with USG has revealed to us really the best way to improve it and we're really passionate about it," Wright said. She is currently serving as the senior internal affairs director, and Lacure is serving as the deputy chief of staff. Both women also serve on senior staff, which functions as an executive board of USG.
Candidates are not supposed to publicly discuss their policy agendas until after campaigning begins Feb. 19, Byrum said.
Wright said part of the reason she thinks there are more candidates this year is that running against an incumbent president last year might have "frightened" potential competitors away.
"(Stepp) did a pretty good job so I didn't feel the need to run against him or anything," Wright said, but she added having more ballot options holds strong advantages for the student body.
"People have lots of options and (will) hold us to a higher standard as candidates," Wright said. "We have to work really hard to let students know how much we really care … Increased student competition can only help get people more engaged."
Other candidates, though, plan to capitalize on their lack of experience with OSU's student government. Warnecke, a third-year in political science, said though he nor Recker are currently involved in USG, he believes they could "bring in a new and fresh way of doing things."
He said it doesn't surprise him that there are six teams running this year after last year's unopposed election.
"I think now we have a rush of candidates who feel it's wide open. I think they feel it's anyone's race to win," Warnecke said.
At least one campaign team wants to emphasize that it encompasses people who have worked with USG before and people who haven't. Mohamad, a third-year in chemical engineering and engineering physics, said he and Crowe are running because of that diversity of experience they bring.
"I kind of have the leadership inside USG … he's got a good amount of leadership outside of USG. Each year, you kind of have either the people from inside USG who are going to be running and they wanna keep things the same, and then you have the people who are kind of opposing USG, kind of trying to reform it, and what we thought is, 'Well, it's not a good idea to keep everything the same but it's also not a good idea to reform everything," Mohamad said. "(We were) like, you know what, we can make a team that kind of knows the inner workings (of USG) and also is a team that's kind of from the outside as well to make good change."
Mohamad was the deputy director in diversity last year and is not officially in USG this year, though he said he has been helping out with IT matters.
Hedrick and Aukstuolis did not respond to an email requesting comment Monday.
Byrum said the variety of teams running bodes well for the coming year.
"It's great for the future of USG that we have this many candidates that are interested in running," Byrum said. "We claim to represent all undergraduate students and hopefully by having this many people run, that it will bring in some new ideas as well as reach out and educate some other students who don't know anything about what USG does."

Do the words, "pop quiz," stimulate shivers down your spine and send you into a cold sweat? Do you remember when your school teacher would say, "Put your books aside, we are having a pop quiz"?
Rest easy, this pop quiz won't be too difficult. Even better, it is multiple choice, so you can guess and maybe luck out. The answers are at the bottom.
Question 1. Which has relatively higher value for managing an organization's strategy?
a. A balanced scorecard
b. A strategy map
c. A club to whack underperforming managers
Question 2.What is a relatively more effective and higher ROI way to retain, grow, win-back, and acquire customers?
a. Spray-and-pray magazine advertisements
b. bribery
c. work backwards understanding the unique preferences of customer micro-segments (and ideally individual customers) and tailor deals, offers, discounts, etc. to them.
Question 3.True or false: The annual budgeting process is so broken and dysfunctional that it should be abandoned altogether.
a. True
b. False
Question 4.Which is the correct relationship? The suite of Enterprise Performance Management methodologies is either a subset of Business Intelligence / Data Warehousing (BI/DW) or the reverse or they are unrelated.
a. Performance Management is a subset of BI/DW
b. BI/DW is a subset of Enterprise Performance Management
c. They are unrelated
Question 5.
Which will have more impact?
a. Implementing and integrating many performance management methodologies without any imbedded analytics.
b. Implementing and integrating fewer performance management methodologies than (a) but imbedded analytics in each methodology.
c. Status quo and not implementing anything.
1. (b) The strategy map has all the intelligence in it. The balanced scorecard, although also important, is the feedback mechanism where its KPIs should be derived from the executive team's strategy map.
2. (c) If you answered (a) or (b), please see me after class.
3. (c) "Tr-alse" I tricked you. The answer is kind of both. The annual budget is typically obsolete in a few months, and the budgeted department costs are padded by veteran managers who sandbag their numbers, caves in into the loudest voice or strongest muscle and worse is over-inflated by needless "use-it-or-lose-it" fiscal year-end spending since the next year's spending for each expense is typically incremented by 3% for inflation. But if you abandon the annual budget, what do you replace it with to satisfy the purposes of a budget? Those who asked that question get extra credit.
4. (b) BI/DW is a subset of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), but they are inextricably linked together. EPM deploys the potential power in BI/DW. EPM applies BI/DW in the context of a problem to be solved or system to be optimized.
5. (c) Doing nothing will have a sufficient adverse impact that eventually an organization will fail or go bankrupt. The more interesting question is if (a) or (b) will have more impact. The answer is an "it depends" one. My leaning is (b) because embedding analytics (such as multivariate correlation analysis among KPIs and PIs in a strategy map) will turbo charge and add more torque to the EPM's integrated gears compared to having a few more gears spinning.
No one ever said that tests in school were easy or fair. That only becomes more true when applied in the real world.

David Koepp On To Write Huntsman Sequel
We may see more Snow White tales
Though it might not have quite busted the box office yet, Snow White And The Huntsman has begun moving needles enough that Universal is now in the early stages of putting together a sequel. The first stage of that is rustling up the money to have David Koepp kick off work on the script.
While the idea that Koepp – one of the most in demand writers in the business and the man behind the likes of Jurassic Park and Panic Room (which also starred Kristen Stewart) – might be attached to a sequel has been floating around since the end of April, this indicates a little more forward movement on the next chapter.
But if the thought of seeing more about Chris Hemsworth's Huntsman and possibly Kristen Stewart's Snow White sounds appealing to you, a caution. The first movie has made $118 million worldwide, which is not yet enough to guarantee a sequel. While Stewart and co were locked into two-film contracts, if the studio wants to get director Rupert Sanders back he's in a position to negotiate a better deal. That is, of course, assuming the executives even worry about that and don't just hire another newcomer.
So nothing is official yet – but we do hope that if there is another movie, everyone involved spends a little more time honing the script to match the pretty visuals…

DanaUchiha@ 2014-08-06 11:17 pm#34
why are ya'll bitching for like you didn't see Kakashi getting both Sharingan's coming. It makes sense that Obito was able to do what he did because he has always been half dead which left half of his chakara in limbo, but he was always linked with Kakashi because of his eye. As far as Kakashi being weak the last few manga's keep in mind that Naruto did rejuvenate him and gave him his original eye back, also he is the "copy-cat ninja" and all sharingan's have the ability to mimic technique's like Sasuke did when he learned Chidori. Naruto has all the tailed beasts inside him so his techs are endless because of all the diverse chakara dwelling within him. Itachi had Shisui's eye, Danzo had multiple sharingan's, Minato had the other half of Kurama etc etc....I mean it's pretty cool to me #ImJustSaying. Kakashi was destined for greatness from the beginning so it's only right that he should become the next Hokage in order to go into the next Naruto series. Keep in mind the OAV episode showing the next breed of shinobi. The war is a bit of a stretch but overall still #Epic not to mention we are still waiting for Ten Ten to do something with the ninja tools she found. This issue is a 10 out of 10 hands down! No time got wasted w/ an unexpected twist.

Narumaki@ 2014-08-06 04:52 pm#25
Man all you haters out there just remember that naruto is a show. You choose to watch it or not. If you dislike it so much then go away. All that negativity never got anyone anywhere so you're not needed here. The "logic" behind kakashi getting the perfect sasuno'o is the fact that it's temporary. It's a necessary panel for what's going to happen next. Any real naruto fan would know that kishi does certain things for a reason. This manga wouldn't have last this long without him.
IshinoOkamaru@ 2014-08-06 03:50 pm#24
Keep in mind people that the entire reason that Kakashi is able to use perfect susaano is because his chakra is not just his own any more. Remember naruto can go leaps and bounds because he has two sources of chakra, not just one. So the fact Kakashi could use it makes sense. Besides, obito told Kakashi that it wasn't going to last, meaning he only will have the sharingan as long as obit co-inhabits kakashi's body, which in retrospect will only be for this battle. Over all however, it adds an interesting twist to this fight and a long awaited event where kakashi has both sharingan. Good chapter.
Filosoofis@ 2014-08-06 03:38 pm#23
Ruis is the First time i got disappointed by kishi poker his much. First as a Sasuke fan Sasuke should do more Naruto gets enough panel and the last 3 chapters better than Sasuke against kaguya. (not saying he is stronger) Kakashi who couldn't even stand 3 chapters ago is using with ms perfect susanoo. Just WTF he is a disgrace for the Uchiha using the Sharingan. I know obito said that it was temporarily but still. I want Sasuke to kill kakashi and go rogue again just cuz of this ms kakashi.
Uchihajin Sasuke@ 2014-08-06 02:31 pm#22
the manga is getting shittier and shittier as anyone can see. Kishi has thrown all logic that he put since the beginning of Naruto out of the window.
The same Kakashi, who passed out for using a 3-tomoe sharingan can use perfect Susanoo, that even without EMS?
Great work Kishi, you are indeed pulling things out of your *you know what*!

I do like the idea of kakashi getting his sharigan back, but im sensing a lack of people actually not dying in this anime right now. One thing that makes shows/anime successful in general, is when at the right time they let go of certain characters.
Obito should have died a long time ago. I love this anime, but they really are dragging this to much right now. Please end it.

Bijuu Sennin Uzumaki@ 2014-08-06 12:52 pm#14
I don't see how there's anything wrong with Kakashi having both sharingan and a perfect Susanoo. Nothing at all. Most of us wanted him to get both eyes. Now he's got them. Not via transplant, sure, but what's the problem?
Obito transferred his chakra / spirit into Kakashi – we've seen this happen before (e.g. with the Sage and Naruto and Saskue) – and it activated the sharingan. I'm sure there's some explanation regarding the 'science' behind it, perhaps relating to the second hokage's explanation of how the sharingan are activated in the brain and eyes, but I don't care enough to nit pick. It fits into the story for me. And it's exciting!
Besides, Obito says that it may not last (in his conversation with Rin) so I fully expect the sharingan to run out at some point.
I can't wait to see what carnage is about to be released next chapter!!!

after all, i think kishimoto's favorite character is Kakashi
ajboyz@ 2014-08-06 11:29 am#11
I believe this is why madara so interested with obito when he found him half-dead. I believe this is the ability of obito mangekyo sharingan. Outstanding chapter.
+PDatta+@ 2014-08-06 11:22 am#10
Now this is how you ruin a manga -_-
seriously, Kishimoto!!!
A few chapters back Kakashi was barely able to use kamui efficiently, and suddenly he got a Perfect Susanoo??!!!.... This is soooo lame....
And to top it all, Obito comes back as ghost and gets in Kakashi's body... this is too much !!!!
OK, if this is the case then bring back Jiraya too and say that he was just holding his breadth underwater for all these years, till he saw it fit to come out... :/

pretty good chapter, kakashi does look pretty badass with both of obitos eyes, but he won't be able to use both for very long, and its a little weird that obito could use his sharingan when he was dead.. all in all good chapter in my book
hakuryuukou@ 2014-08-06 10:06 am#2
Even Itachi doesn't have Perfect Susano'o and he's an Uchiha, while Kakashi has just MS and got perfect susano'o and last time he can't even handle Kamui... Well done kiSHITmoto.

1. How can I become a member of the RedRover Board of Directors?
So glad you asked! The first step is to complete our online application. The application is a critical element of the selection process approved by the RedRover Board of Directors to identify new Board members who fit with the organization's strategic needs. Since the RedRover Board is a working board, the Board Governance Committee will use application responses to evaluate which candidates are likely to make a unique and important contribution to the Board's work.
2. How will the Board Governance Committee evaluate my application?
The Board Governance Committee will select finalists from the online applications submitted based on how well applicants fit with the current needs of the board.
3. What happens after I complete and submit the application?
The Board Governance Committee will review all applications and select finalists to interview. If you are selected for an initial interview, a member of the Board Governance Committee will contact you. If a second interview is required, you will be contacted to schedule that conversation as quickly as possible.
4. If I am selected for an interview with the RedRover Board of Directors, what should I expect?
Recommended candidates will be contacted about a final interview with the full RedRover Board of Directors at its meeting in Sacramento. Recommended candidates have the option of appearing in-person or via Skype, whichever is most convenient. All final candidates will be contacted of the Board's vote.
5. If I am invited to serve on the RedRover Board, when would I attend my first meeting?
All elected Directors will be invited to attend the RedRover Board meeting, which likely will focus on strategic thinking. You will be notified of the next upcoming RedRover Board meeting date.
6. What is the length of my term on the RedRover Board?
The length of a Board term is three years. Each member of the RedRover Board of Directors may serve a maximum of two three-year terms.
7. Where are the Board meetings held, and how frequently does the Board meet?
The Board meets four times a year at RedRover's headquarters in Sacramento, California. Typically, meetings are held on Saturdays, six weeks after the end of each quarter (RedRover's fiscal calendar begins January 1.). Directors are expected to attend all meetings in person, but have the option to participate via Skype or conference call for one meeting a year. The full Board may occasionally conduct additional meetings by conference call as needed.
8. Is travel to Board meetings reimbursed?
No, but travel to Board meetings may be considered tax-deductible. RedRover will send Directors in-kind acknowledgment letters upon submission of travel expense documentation.
9. Is there a minimum annual donation that is expected for RedRover Directors?
Although there is no set minimum, the expectation is for all Directors to give annually, ideally at least $250 a year. The average giving level among Directors is currently $450 a year.
10. As a member of the RedRover Board of Directors, what are my responsibilities?
RedRover's Board of Directors is responsible for maintaining the organization's financial accountability, which requires transparency in all financial and tax reporting. The Board is responsible for ensuring that RedRover's assets are properly maintained, and works with management to guarantee the implementation of sound internal controls to prevent fraud. In addition, the Board monitors RedRover's fiscal health by regularly discussing the sustainability of its business model, approving its annual operating budget, reviewing quarterly financial statements and playing an active role in the review and approval of the annual audit and IRS Form 990.
The Board is also responsible for RedRover's legal obligations, including tax filings and observing state fundraising registration requirements. The Board direct decisions regarding all litigation brought against the organization. (See Question #12 for information about Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.) The RedRover Board also reviews and documents the compensation of the President and CEO and Chief Financial Officer, and countersigns any financial transaction over $15,000.
The Board is RedRover's primary strategic decision-making body, acting in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and with the advice and guidance of other staff and voluntary leaders. The Board is responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of RedRover's strategic plan over the next several years, as well as providing on-going strategic oversight of the organization's programs to ensure they are executed in a manner consistent with RedRover's stated mission.
11. What else will I be expected to do as a Director?
Directors are expected to serve on at least two committees or task forces. Currently we have a Governance Committee, Finance Committee, Technology Task Force, Inspiration Team, Strategic Planning Task Force and Legal Advisory Group.
Directors may be asked to make major donor thank you phone calls or send personal thank you note cards within 48 hours of notification of a donation.
Each Director is asked to complete a Commitment Form with additional options for engagement. Individual Board Directors may choose to expand RedRover's outreach and fundraising efforts by hosting a house party, conducting a presentation, securing a corporate donation or sponsorship or asking those they know who like animals to share RedRover emails or posts, "like" our Facebook page, donate, attend an event or take some other action.
12. Does RedRover have Directors and Officers Liability Insurance?
Yes. If you would like to receive a copy of our policy, please email Nicole.
13. What is RedRover's mission, and what kinds of programs does it offer?
RedRover's mission is to bring animals out of crisis and strengthen the bond between people and animals through emergency sheltering, disaster relief services, financial assistance and education. RedRover accomplishes its mission by engaging volunteers and supporters, collaborating with others and maximizing the use of online technology. We are…
RedRover Responders
We care for animals displaced by natural disasters and help reconnect them to owners. We care for animals rescued from mass cruelty found in hoarding cases, puppy mills and other significant abuse situations.
RedRover Readers
We help children develop empathy and explore the bond between people and animals through stories and discussion. We encourage children to share information about animals, reflect on the roles of animals in their communities and determine our collective responsibilities towards them.
RedRover Relief
We provide financial assistance to pet owners and Good Samaritans to obtain urgent veterinary care. We offer financial assistance to needy owners and caretakers.
14. What is RedRover's brand and culture?
Brand Vision
RedRover is a soft hand and warm heart in times when animals and people are in need, crisis and pain. Our thousands of passionate volunteers, donors and supporters recognize that the world would be darker and colder without us. So they mobilize. They answer when the RedRover rally cry is called. We are about engagement… not only with each other… but also side-by-side with other animal professionals, animal groups, local officials, law enforcement, media and schools. We bring animals out of crisis and into care, and discover new ways to strengthen the common bond between people and animals.
Brand Attributes
Caring. Respected. Unwavering. Inspirational. Vigilant.
RedRover seeks to promote a culture throughout the organization that aligns with our brand attributes.
15. Why does RedRover require a criminal background check?
In many states in which RedRover is registered to fundraise, we are often asked if any of our Directors and officers have been convicted of a crime. In addition, because our Directors and officers are ultimately responsible for financial oversight and may be representing themselves as RedRover Directors, it is important to ensure past criminal activity would not be used against the organization or present any unnecessary liability for us. All of our staff, RedRover Readers volunteers (who work directly with children) RedRover Responders team leaders and volunteer workshop facilitators complete criminal background checks. These volunteer leadership positions carry a high level of responsibility, including ensuring safety protocols are followed and paying for expenses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The background check searches only for criminal history and does not result in the release of any information pertaining to an individual's credit history.
16. Are Directors required to sign a Conflict of Interest policy?
Yes, RedRover Directors must sign a Conflict of Interest Policy every year. Directors work with management to maintain a high level of integrity and transparency. RedRover complies with all 20 Standards of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance and scores four out of four stars on Charity Navigator's Accountability and Transparency Performance Metrics, which includes maintaining a document retention policy and a whistle blower policy.
If there are any questions this FAQ does not answer, please email Nicole Forsyth, RedRover's President and CEO, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pocket Prayers For Pilgrims Pb
Full Product Description
Seeing life as a journey is a central image in Christianity. We do not need to go on a physical journey to discover the sacred presence - this collection of ancient and new prayers on the theme of pilgrimage enables us to discover that all the places of our lives can become holy ground, with the potential of divine encounter and transformation. Seeing life as a journey towards God means that we will meet the joys and challenges of the pilgrim road that are well-charted in the Christian tradition - the uncertainty of setting out (perhaps with no clear destination in mind), new experiences, companionship, exhaustion, disillusion, renewal of vision, arrival, discovery, returning home as changed people. This volume is being prepared as part of the Diocese of Oxford's major mission initiative Pilgrim in which churches throughout the diocese will participate in a wide variety of events and programmes that encourage people to explore the theme of pilgrimage in their own lives.
Pocket Prayers For Pilgrims Pb by John Pritchard was published by Church House in June 2011 and is our 31001st best seller. The ISBN for Pocket Prayers For Pilgrims Pb is 9780715142387.

26 May 2010
Upon suggesting this, I'm half convinced that someone is going to start up a Don't Trade Marty blog on blogspot by the end of the week. This is by no means what I'm suggesting they do (yet), just something to think about as a possibility. Now in the future, trading away Martin St. Louis may become a reality for Lightning fans and it will cause some uproar among the faithful (yes all 10 of you).
Now back in April after the season ended, St. Louis told the media that he might request a trade if the Lightning's rebuilding effort during the summer doesn't turn the team into a playoff contender. Things have changed a little, but based on Vinik and Yzerman's press conference the other day, it was stressed that it would not be a quick one year fix.
Post continued after the jump...
Martin St. Louis, at the age of 34, is in the last year of his contract at a cap hit of $5.25 million per season (he made $4 million this season). Again he's 34 right now, turning 35 on June 18th. So going forwards, if Yzerman looks to re-sign St. Louis to a new contract he will have to take in to account not only St. Louis' age, but the 35 and older clause.
What is this 35 and older clause?
I looked to Blueshirt Banter's understanding of the salary cap to get an idea, basically it goes like this:
- If you are 35 by June 30th at the time of signing a new contract, the signing team must take a cap hit for each year of the contract, regardless if the player retires
- If you waive a player and send him down to the minors, $100, 000 is taken off of the cap hit
So if Yzerman wants to extend St. Louis contract he will have to take this into account and with already so much money committed to Lecavalier's contract and future contracts for Stamkos and Hedman, re-signing St. Louis is not so easy. If he retires before his contract is over that puts the Lightning in a bad position with regards to his cap hit still counting.
If Yzerman is committed to thinking in the long term, St. Louis and Lecavalier have to be evaluated as teachers, not just for their offensive output. There will come a time when the young guys have learned as much as they can from St. Louis and Lecavalier, and the leadership will need to be passed on to Stamkos and Hedman. At that point, assuming a decline in productivity with age, their contracts may no longer benefit the teams overall success. This question will be bigger for Lecavalier than St. Louis since his ginormous contract is already in place, but still something that will be needed to be taken into consideration.
St. Louis does bring more to the team than just scoring and leadership, he is also said to be a great locker room guy but Yzerman will have to figure out what the tradeoff for leadership is and is trading him better for the team in the long run.
Rebuilding is a slow process and St. Louis' trade value is highest right now after his stellar season. If he wants to move to a wining team, the Lightning can move him during the summer in a trade or if they won't make the playoffs, at the trade deadline next year.

Teaching Our Children What Not to DoKacie
The following is a guest post. The Debt Princess is a blog written by Jessica Streit, a broke, single mom who has made so many mistakes with her finances that she can safely tell you what NOT to do. Her hope is to use her blog as an example for young adults of the negative consequences of getting into debt so they may avoid it for themselves.
There are over 600 million credit cards held by US consumers. Of the households with consumer debt, the average total is over $15,000.
Fifteen thousand dollars!
I am one of those who has credit card debt and it is right around that $15k amount too. That is completely unacceptable in my opinion. I do not want to belong to this statistic. More importantly, I do not want my children to belong to it either.
In most states, personal finance is not part of the school curriculum. While that does need to change, we can not afford to wait for it to happen. Parents must take the responsibility to teach their children how to properly manage their own personal finances.
There are many aspects of finances that must be taught, however I have narrowed that list down to four.
The Four Golden Rules of Finance
1. Understand the difference between a need and a want.
Children these days are growing up with the most expensive toys of any of the previous generations. They are used to getting more under the tree at Christmas, more for their birthdays and more, just because.
These children are growing into adults who do not understand the difference between a need and a want. Ask a 14 year-old if a cell phone is a need or a want. My guess is that 99% of them are going to tell you it is a need.
Another aspect to this rule is to teach our children to wait for what they want. A need is a priority and should be covered under our budget. A want, however, does not get a space in the budget and should be saved for.
2. Pay yourself first.
It is important to teach our children the need for a savings account, including long term savings, emergency funds and eventually retirement savings. Even more important is to show them how to automate their savings and pay themselves first.
Take the time to teach your children how to seek out quality savings accounts and when they are older, explain to them how IRAs work as well as investing.
3. Spend less than you make.
Want to avoid unnecessary debt? It's simple. Spend less than you make. Teach this golden rule to your children and you will be setting them in the right direction with their financial life.
4. Tell your money where to go.
Providing your children with the tools to make their money work for them includes making a budget, learning how to live without credit cards, automating their finances (to avoid late payments) and living on cash.
Providing your children with these tools will ensure their ability to live happy, comfortable and debt free adult lives.
It is never too soon to talk to your children about money. As they mature, provide them more lessons in personal finance. Once graduation and living on their own comes around, you can be confident that they will be successful.

Great advice. I just wrote a scathing post on credit cards and why I don't use them anymore at all. Good to see others learning to live without credit cards!

I was so happy to hear my daughter answer her question to me before I could even answer. She wanted to buy something, I said no, and then she asked why – while immediately stating that she knows that it was something wanted but not really needed.
Kids actually do listen!
By American Debt Project on Mar 7, 2012 | Reply
Children will see what you do and not what you say if the two don't match. For example, I know my sister is very practical with money and I can already see my niece and nephews making smart money choices at their very young ages. I just need to make sure I am completely practical by the time I have kids :)

These two designers produce 0-24month baby-wear, focusing on chic and uniquely styled clothing. A lovely feature of their apparel is to partly line the garments to ensure added comfort. Then to complete the individuality of the clothes, they are hand-finished in places such as Istanbul by small family businesses. This co-incidentally brings me to the ethics of these two innovative designers.
~*~ Their Ethos ~*~
The Crib Company is involved with supporting the children's charity The Foresters' Fund for Children. The FFFC apportions funds to less known children's charities. Crib supports this charity financially, by use of its respected name & even by contacting an array of other smaller charitable institutions to alert them to the FFFC's donation program.
Additionally, as mentioned in my sub-title, 'their clothing', Crib employs the highly skilled craftsmanship of a traditional family business in Istanbul, Turkey; thereby, supporting the continuing culture that has been established in such beautiful hand finished designs. But their support of family businesses is not only overseas but in the UK too; individual talents ranging from beading, embroidery and crochet.
~*~ The product under review ~*~
This gorgeous quality 100% cotton dusky pink patchwork top has short gathered sleeves finished off with tiny satin bows. This round neck top has a little flower button and loop back opening. I found this to be a perfect gift for my daughter, who especially wanted predominantly pink clothing for her new baby.
This hand-embroidered tee is partly lined to ensure the extra comfort factor and comes in sizes 0 to 24 months. Obtained to fit baby from three months, the sizing is very accurate.
The varying perfectly coordinating colours on this top make it a neat and practical item to match with plain colour clothing, picking out one of the subtle shades within the fabric.
Although these clothes are delicate they are made with practicality in mind. The Crib's easy instruction on fabric care advises turning the garments inside out on 40 degree washes. I only washed this garment on the delicate cycle and at 40 degrees with low spin speed. The garment retained its shape and colour vibrancy without bobbling. The guidelines also encourage ironing on the reverse side. These clothes are not suited for tumble drying, the use of bleaching agents and colour combination laundering. I never needed to iron the garment as I removed it each time from the machine as soon as the cycle had ended. Drying flat ensured little creasing.
I 'purchased' for FREE thanks to a friend with a tot out-growing clothes! But Crib on-line price is £14. I advise on-line searching as there are many other stores selling this beautiful product. Recommended for the quality, beauty and ethics!
