Policyholders more comfortable sharing driving data with insurance companies than personal information on social networking sites, according to LexisNexis Risk Solutions Survey
New York, NY – According to the LexisNexis® Risk Solutions Telematics Survey, more than 75 percent of auto insurance policyholders in the United States would welcome a telematics-based insurance program if sharing their driving data had the potential to reduce their premium. The survey also measured consumer comfort levels around sharing personal driving information compared to other types of personal information from sources including Internet banking, mobile phones and social networking sites. The results showed that 57 percent of policyholders are comfortable sharing information about events that led to traffic accidents with insurance companies; a much higher response than the 29 percent who indicated they were comfortable with social networking sites storing personal information such as messages and photos posted on websites. The Telematics Survey, conducted by Lynx Research Consulting, measured policyholder receptivity to allowing insurance companies to use data collected from telematics devices in their vehicles to help determine rates.
Telematics systems in automobiles provide a variety of navigational and emergency services to motorists, e.g. GPS systems. Some insurance companies are beginning to use data collected from telematics systems to correlate driving behavior with insurance rates; however, storage of telematics data remains limited. Worldwide, 84 percent of all cars shipped by 2016 will incorporate telematics systems, up 19 percent from 2008 according to iSuppli Corporation.
The Telematics Survey was designed to help the insurance industry understand policyholder awareness of and attitudes toward, telematics systems and insurance programs based on telematics data. The study found that:
"The survey findings show tremendous receptivity to allowing insurance companies to base rates on driving behavior," said Stephanie Stevens, director of marketing and product development for Telematics at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "We encourage insurance companies to use the findings to re-evaluate how they shape and market their telematics programs to best meet the needs of their policyholders."
The survey also identified telematics-based insurance programs that are of most interest to consumers. Topping the list were empowerment programs that give drivers control over their insurance rates and the opportunity to understand and modify their own driving behavior. Programs that focused solely on discounts were not as popular.
The web-based survey polled 3,472 U.S. residents. Of this number, 3,148 were a representative sample of insured drivers and 324 were drivers with a 16 to 25 year-old dependent on their policy. More information on the telematics survey is available by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com.

I know some people are worried about Star Wars burnout, but I'm way more worried about the damage to my checking account because there's so much good stuff available. That having been said, check out the new Star Wars women's sleepwear at Target! I saw the Princess Leia onesie and pretty much died of the awesome. They have five different sleepshirts available (the Dark Side one with the hood is great too) so you have lots of options to choose from.
See more after the break.

Hi CC'ers!
This is my first question... How can I get fondant shiny without the luster dust and other sprays and paints is there any other liquid I can paint on just to get the fondant shiny looking? Thanks in advance!!
You can spray it w/a fine mist of water.
You can rub it w/your hands - like lots, and lots
You can put a bit of Crisco on your hands and rub it.
This might work for you: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-7292-edible-varnish.html
I paint mine with vodka
you can by those portable steamers they sell at target/walmart and pass it over the fondant covered cake as Buddy has done with his cakes on the challenges.
my vote is for crisco.... but I personally love my AB and luster
I too paint mine with vodka. It cleans all the powdered sugar off that I've used to roll it out & dries shiny.

Can i limit data that users can edit?Asked by bdxbranddynamix on April 09, 2015 at 05:47 PM
Can i limit data that users can edit?
For example i do not what them to be able to edit their names after submission.
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Let Users Update Their Form Submissions at a Later Date
JotForm Support
Unfortunately there is no condition logic yet that can make a field Read-Only to be able to locked them from edition.
There is show/hide or make fields *Required base on condition, but no lock/unlock option.
A workaround conditional statement you can use is the Populate/Update fields base on Condition.
user guide: -How-to-Populate-Field-with-a-Value-from-another-Field
But this will require creating multiple duplicate fields, 1 for the actual answers, and then 1 for the read-only field.
Example form: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/50988616180968
In the test form, when you click on I Agree it will display a different fields that are read only.. so you cannot edit them.
Let us know if this workaround can work for you.
I will also submit a feature request ticket to have the capability to lock/unlock fields base on a condition.
I also really need this feature!

Glasgow sign up Cusiter
Scotland scrum-half Chris Cusiter has joined Magners League side Glasgow on a three-year deal.
Last Updated: 28/01/09 11:11am
Scotland scrum-half Chris Cusiter has joined Magners League side Glasgow on a three-year deal.
The 26-year-old, who captained the Border Reivers in 2006-07, will leave Perpignan in the summer.
Cusiter, who toured with the Lions in 2005, said: "I'm joining an ambitious club with huge potential and I'm excited about the challenges that lie ahead.
"Both Scottish pro-teams have been getting good results recently and Glasgow have made their future intentions clear with some great performances, especially with the recent win over Toulouse.
"Playing in France has been a fantastic experience and I've learnt a lot. I now look forward to a successful end to the season with Perpignan before returning to Scotland in the summer.
"I hope to bring the experience I've gained over the last two seasons to an already very talented Glasgow squad.
"I believe it's the right time to come back to Scotland. I'm looking forward to earning a starting place for Glasgow which, in the long run, may also help my international aspirations as we look forward to the Rugby World Cup in 2011."
Warriors head coach Lineen, who coached Cusiter as part of the 2003 Premiership title-winning Boroughmuir side, added: "It's fantastic news for Glasgow Warriors and Scottish Rugby.
"Chris is a world-class player who I've admired for many years. The experience he has from playing in France cannot be underestimated.
"Today's signing shows that Glasgow are moving in the right direction and I can't wait to see Chris in a Warriors shirt next season."

Something that happened to me back in highschool was that my crush, who is 5'7, rejected me (I am 5'9), and the reason being I was too short for her.
I was 17 then, I am 21 now and almost done with college but it still bothers the hell out of me to this day. I still cannot grasp why I wasent tall enough for her when I was in fact taller. And I wasent even a scrawny guy so that she would feel big next to me, I was pretty buff and athletic, so I dont get it.
My question is should I keep expecting this? That is if I ask out a girl that is close to my height, in the 5'7,5'8 range, should I expect to be turned down?
Am I to most girls in that height range too short, eventough I am taller?
Most Helpful Girl
I'm 5'7 and I think 5'9 is alright. Especially if he's a bit bulky. I do find it hard to be attracted to guys who are shorter or just as tall. Some girls prefer even taller. It might be superficial, but it's pretty much something we can't really control. Like people not being attracted to a certain body type, nose or stretch marks etc.
So you might get rejected by some girls because of your height, but so can guys be rejected because they're too tall or girls being too short or tall. That's life and it's not fair.00|00|0
I get that its not fair but its still very unpleaseant. Just imagine you as a girls have a crush on someone for several years and when you finally build up enough courage to make a move he tells you he doesn't want to date because he think your breasts and butt is too small for him and that you are not a real woman or something stupid like that. Now that would be rude and extremly superficial of him to say and he would perhaps deserve a big slap on the face. But to a girl it can be a real confidence killer.
Which is what happened to me, my confidence, was utterly destroyed, I've spent the next years thinking I wasent tall enough for girls therefore I am not a real man.
Did she tell ypu you weren't a real man because then she really deserves a slap in the face.
Ofcourse it's rude and superficial from her, but aren't we all a little bit superficial? We can't be liked by everyone for the stupidest reasons.
We all have something that makes us less attractive for some people. I'm sorry it destroyed your confidence, but you shouldn't give up hope. There are a lot of girls who will like your height.
Most Helpful Guy
I see a lot of couples around where the guy and girl are similar in height or the girl is taller.00|00|0

Weird that they would trade away their best defensive defenseman before signing a new goalie…
Posted by Garth on 11/08/13 at 09:55 PM ET
Oh man, the circus that will be the Edmonton media and Bryz. That fanbase is pretty PO'd it seems. They're tired of waiting and not seeing any progress in this rebuild (now in year 4, BTW)
Posted by Chris M on 11/08/13 at 10:32 PM ET
Bryzgalov once famously stated how he'd never want to play in Winnipeg because it's so cold and there's nothing to do there.
Bryzgalov just signed to play hockey in Edmonton, Alberta.
Posted by Primis on 11/09/13 at 12:30 AM ET
To be fair Edmonton isn't as cold and there is much more to do. Winnipeg is a hole. I've lived in Edmonton. It's a great city. Yes it's cold but not as bad as Winnipeg.

I have joined The Showpros Group -- in a more real light, I have joined with John Brown, an exceptional individual!
This is quite the move for me. After more than 16 years marketing law and accounting firms I have chosen to go over to the other side and become a vendor -- and am happy for the move.
What John does is create exceptional audience experiences. John has been my go-to guy for a long time and I'm so excited to be a part of what he creates. What we can create together is yet to be seen, but I have to say, I am so excited to be back on the creative side of performing extraordinary!

MSC Musica has entered the final phase of construction at Alstrom Marine of St. Nazaire in France after being "floated out" from Chantiers de l'Atlantique earlier this month (that shipyard also built Cunard's Queen Mary 2). Float-out is a particular milestone for any under-construction ship, as it means exterior construction has been completed and the dry dock can be filled with water. The ship is then moved to a wet dock facility where interior work goes into high gear.
Of MSC Musica's 1,275 staterooms, 80 percent will be outsides and 65 percent will have verandahs. The ship will also feature a 13,000-square-ft. spa; several dining options including two restaurants, self-serve pizza and a sushi bar; a central foyer with a three-deck-high waterfall; and a variety of entertainment venues including a three-deck theater, secondary show lounge and disco.
MSC Musica is poised to set the bar for MSC's "True Italian Signature" style; onboard design and amenities are expected to take the company's signature Italian flair to the next level.
MSC Opera will depart Venice on its inaugural voyage -- a seven-night Eastern Mediterranean itinerary -- on July 1, 2006. The ship is the first in a new series; a sister ship, MSC Orchestra, is set to launch in 2007.

Tamara - Jumbo Jugg Jamboree
Released: April 13, 2015
This week we are back in the UK with the lovely Tamara who arrived to do a casting. You will listen with awe when she describes her first porn job for an outfit called "Fake Priest" in which she got fucked by a supposed fake priest in a real church and in a real confessional. Tamara was shocked when her groaning was interrupted by the sound of the congregation entering the church at which point she realised the priest wasn't "fake"? at all, he was a REAL priest posing as a fake priest! Anyway, she turned down "Fake Lion-Tamer"? and came to us instead. Now I need to say no more other than Tamara had a GINORMOUS PAIR OF REAL JUGGS and I mean GIANT, which is a real rarity these days and I managed to fill the whole screen with them, so members, BEWARE WHEN TUNING IN!

NYC Pride Week Style
NYC Pride Week Style
From NSFW Keith Haring buttons to denim shorts embroidered with rainbows, our guide to looks that celebrate love
NYC's annual Pride Week celebration is fast approaching, and while support for the LGBTQIA community can be shown in all kinds of ways, one of the easiest is though your attire. We've rounded up some of our favorite items (from patches to badges and sneakers) to don this 2015 Pride Week: 21-28 June. Whether you're part of the community or are an ally, whether you reside in New York or not, it's never a bad idea to show—and share—love.
Levi's Denim Shorts
Proceeds from Levi's Pride Collection go to various LGBTQIA charities, one being the Stonewall Community Foundation—the Stonewall Riots being the reason Pride Week is celebrated in June in NYC. Our pick from the collection (sadly the denim jacket has already sold out) is the Pride Shorts ($68), a pair of simple denim shorts with a rainbow flag embroidered on the back yoke and the word "Stonewall" embroidered on the waistband.
Keith Haring Safe Sex Button
Along with Stonewall, artist and social activist Keith Haring is intrinsically linked with New York City. These adorable and, on closer inspection, NSFW "Safe Sex" buttons ($1) are playful, but boast an important message.
Kitiya Palaskas Rainbow Brooch
It's hard not to smile when you come across a playful accessory crafted by color-loving Australian designer Kitiya Palaskas—especially when it's a glittery chicken drumstick. Her laser-cut rainbow brooch ($20) is a source of hope no matter how overcast and bleak the day (and its politics) might be.
Queer Scout Patch
Originally made for a queer scout-themed dance party held in Pittsburgh, this Queer Scout patch ($5) can now be bought and worn with pride by anybody with a few dollars and an internet connection. It's pink, purple, sparkly and full of positive vibes.
Nike #BeTrue Free Run 5.0
Part of Nike's 2015 #BeTrue collection—featuring T-shirts, sneakers and caps—are these super-fun Free Run 5.0 sneakers, which come in a subtle grey/silver but boast a bold rainbow-colored binding. The #BeFree collection will be released this month online and at various stores in the United States.
Ask Me About My Pronouns Button
Oftentimes the most direct message is the best, as is the case with these super-cute and super-blunt "Ask Me About My Pronouns" buttons. These one-inch badges can be made in various colorways and are a great reminder that language is powerful and political, so it's crucial to always respect people's pronouns.

"My wife was admitted in an emergency situation and..."
About: Eastbourne District General Hospital Eastbourne District General Hospital Eastbourne BN21 2UD
Posted by Anonymous
My wife was admitted in an emergency situation and was taken to the Intesive Care Unit. They literally saved her life by their professionalism and expertise at all times giving her the best possible treatment and also keeping her husband very well informed as to what was happening. No praise is strong enough for the help and kindness that we both received which has largely been responsible for her surprisingly swift recovery. She was moved to Berwick Ward where again the care treatment was of the highest standard. The nurses were constantly attentive and the Doctors were sympathetic and helpful. Dare I say it even the food was vastly improved from the hospital her husband was in a few years ago.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel (English: Saint Michael's Mount) is a rocky tidal island and a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre off the country's north coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The population of the island is 41.
In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose erosion shaped the coastal landscape over millions of years. Several blocks of granite or granulite emerged in the bay, having resisted the wear and tear of the ocean better than the surrounding rocks. These included Lillemer, the Mont-Dol, Tombelaine and Mont Tombe, later called Mont-Saint-Michel.
Tidal island
Mont-Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. This has been compromised by several developments. Over the centuries, the coastal flats have been polderised to create pasture. Thus the distance between the shore and the south coast of Mont-Saint-Michel has decreased. The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay. In 1879, the land bridge was fortified into a true causeway. This prevented the tide from scouring the silt round the mount.
On 16 June 2006, the French prime minister and regional authorities announced a €164 million project (Projet Mont-Saint-Michel[1]) to build a hydraulic dam using the waters of the river Couesnon and of tides that will help remove the accumulated silt deposited by the uprising tides, and to make Mont-Saint-Michel an island again. It is expected to be completed by 2012.[2]
The construction of the dam is now complete (it was inaugurated in 2009). The project also includes the destruction of the causeway that was built on top of the small land bridge and enlarged, to join the island to the continent, but also used as a parking for visitors. It will be replaced by an elevated light bridge, under which the waters will flow more freely, and that will improve the efficiency of the now operational dam, and the construction of another parking on the continent. Visitors will have to use small shuttles to cross the future bridge which will still be open to walking people and unmotorized cycles.
HistoryMont-Saint-Michel was used in the sixth and seventh centuries as an Armorican stronghold of Romano-Breton culture and power, until it was ransacked by the Franks, thus ending the trans-channel culture that had stood since the departure of the Romans in AD 460.
Before the construction of the first monastic establishment in the 8th century, the island was called "monte tombe". According to legend, St. Michael the Archangel appeared to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches, in 708 and instructed him to build a church on the rocky islet. Aubert repeatedly ignored the angel's instruction, until St. Michael burned a hole in the bishop's skull with his finger.[3]
The mount gained strategic significance in 933 when William "Long Sword", William I, Duke of Normandy, annexed the Cotentin Peninsula, definitively placing the mount in Normandy. It is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry, which commemorates the 1066 Norman conquest of England. Ducal patronage financed the spectacular Norman architecture of the abbey in subsequent centuries.
In 1067, the monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel gave its support to duke William of Normandy in his claim to the throne of England. It was rewarded with properties and grounds on the English side of the Channel, including a small island located at the west of Cornwall, which, modelled after the Mount, became a Norman priory named St Michael's Mount of Penzance.
During the Hundred Years' War the English made repeated assaults on the island but were unable to seize it due to the abbey's improved fortifications. Les Michelettes, two wrought-iron bombards left by the English in their failed 1423–24 siege of Mont-Saint-Michel, are still displayed near the outer defense wall.
When Louis XI of France founded the Order of Saint Michael in 1496 he intended that the abbey church of Mont Saint-Michel be the chapel for the order, but because of its great distance from Paris his intention could never be realized.
The wealth and influence of the abbey extended to many daughter foundations, including St Michael's Mount in Cornwall. However, its popularity and prestige as a centre of pilgrimage waned with the Reformation, and by the time of the French Revolution there were scarcely any monks in residence. The abbey was closed and converted into a prison, initially to hold clerical opponents of the republican régime. High-profile political prisoners followed, but by 1836 influential figures, including Victor Hugo, had launched a campaign to restore what was seen as a national architectural treasure. The prison was finally closed in 1863, and the mount was declared a historic monument in 1874. The Mont-Saint-Michel and its bay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979, as it was listed with criteria such as cultural, historical, and architectural significance, as well as human-created and natural beauty.[4]
William de Volpiano, the Italian architect who had built the Abbey of Fécamp in Normandy, was chosen as building contractor by Richard II of Normandy in the 11th century. He designed the Romanesque church of the abbey, daringly placing the transept crossing at the top of the mount. Many underground crypts and chapels had to be built to compensate for this weight; these formed the basis for the supportive upward structure that can be seen today. Today Mont-Saint-Michel is seen as a Gothic-style church.
Robert de Thorigny, a great supporter of Henry II of England (who was also Duke of Normandy), reinforced the structure of the buildings and built the main façade of the church in the 12th century. In 1204 the Breton Guy de Thouars, allied to the King of France, undertook the siege of the Mount. After having set fire to the village and having massacred the population, he was obliged to beat a retreat under the powerful walls of the abbey. Unfortunately, the fire which he himself lit extended to the buildings, and the roofs fell prey to the flames. Horrified by the cruelty and the exactions of his Breton ally, Philip Augustus offered Abbot Jourdain a grant for the construction of a new Gothic-style architectural set which included the addition of the refectory and cloister.
Charles VI is credited with adding major fortifications to the abbey-mount, building towers, successive courtyards and strengthening the ramparts.
The tides in the area change quickly, and have been described by Victor Hugo as "à la vitesse d'un cheval au galop" or "as swiftly as a galloping horse".
The tides can vary greatly, at roughly 14 metres between high and low water marks. Popularly nicknamed "St. Michael in peril of the sea" by medieval pilgrims making their way across the flats, the mount can still pose dangers for visitors who avoid the causeway and attempt the hazardous walk across the sands from the neighbouring coast.
Polderisation and occasional flooding created salt marsh meadows that were found to be ideally suited to grazing sheep. The well-flavoured meat that results from the diet of the sheep in the pré salé (salt meadow) makes agneau de pré-salé (salt meadow lamb), a local specialty that may be found on the menus of restaurants that depend on income from the many visitors to the mount.
The islet belongs to the French commune of Le Mont-Saint-Michel, of the Manche département, in the Basse-Normandie région. Population (1999): 50. The nearest major town, with an SNCF train station, is Pontorson. Mont-Saint-Michel belongs to the Organization of World Heritage Cities.
The Mont-Saint-Michel has also been the subject of traditional, but nowadays good-humoured, rivalry between Normans and Bretons. Bretons claim that, since the Couesnon River marks the traditional boundary between Normandy and Brittany, it is only because the river has altered its course over the centuries that the mount is on the Norman side of the frontier. This legend amuses the frontier inhabitants who know that the border is not located on the Couesnon river itself but on the mainland at 4 km in the west, at the foot of the solid mass of Saint-Brelade.

Matt Damon-starring war drama 'Green Zone' is not able to topline 'Alice in Wonderland' though the domestic revenue gained by the adventure movie is 46 percent less than its last week cume.
"Alice in Wonderland" has no equal competitor to push it aside from the top position at North American Box Office. In its second week, the adventure movie still becomes the champion at the chart though it has dropped about 46% in ticket sales.
The Tim Burton-directed movie that applies 3-D technology to attract audience rakes in $62.7 million on its second weekend, making a total of $209.3 million domestic gross so far. The amount has covered the production budget of $200 million.
Some of the following spots belong to newcomers. "Green Zone", which sees another collaboration from "Bourne" star Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, has become the runner-up with an approximately $14.3 million cume. Meanwhile, "She's Out of My League" steals the third place from former Box Office winner "Shutter Island" with $9.8 million tally. The Leonardo DiCaprio-starring thriller is now forced to drop two positions to the fifth, with an additional $8.1 million.
"Remember Me", which has "Twilight" actor Robert Pattinson starring as the major character, surprisingly does not soar high at the chart. The Summit Entertainment's drama only pulls in $8 million on its debut weekend, making it nab the fourth spot. Another newcomer which manages to enter the chart is "Our Family Wedding" which sits on the sixth place with $7.6 million revenue.
Top Ten Movies at Box Office for March 12-14:
- "Alice in Wonderland" - $62.7 million
- "Green Zone" - $14.3 million
- "She's Out of My League" - $9.8 million
- "Shutter Island" - $8.1 million
- "Remember Me" - $8 million
- "Our Family Wedding" - $7.6 million
- "Avatar" - $6.5 million
- "Brooklyn's Finest" - $4.5 million
- "Cop Out" - $4.3 million
- "The Crazies" - $3.7 million

Last week I wore a black top with a red skirt, sandal heels and some accessories. I wanted to look nice that day and got compliments from friends and strangers. Of course there's always that one person that dissaproves but I was shocked because it was someone I knew and not a total stranger. The girl was walking with her friend, avoided eye contact with me and said "she tries to hard". I usually don't dress up a lot and I don't see that girl often so I know it's not true. I just don't understand why she would care.

We stayed at the Fortuna House for the month of October. We were so tired when we got to Miami that we went straight to the Fortuna House Condos. Our room was not ready because we arrived at 8 am so they had us wait just a few minutes while they got a room ready in a hurry. Normal checkin was at 3pm but they definitely went out of there way to help us get in there early. We were so surprised at the room. It was a spacious studio with a really nice kitchen fully stocked with all manner of appliances and cooking ware. Super clean.We were on the third floor with a view of a courtyard. The TV had 150 cable channels and free WiFi with excellent speed. It is a good, central location in downtown Miami. There was a Publix ,a Walgreens, a Starbucks, and some amazing restaurants within walking distance. This is not a standard hotel. Rather, it is a condominium unit which has full-time residents. The rooms and surroundings were clean and the neighborhood was nice and close to everything. There were also washers and dryers. (although we rarely used them since they gave us extra linens and towels). My deposit was refunded the very next day after leaving and they responded to all my inquiries in a timely and efficient manner. This was a really great deal and I would come back here in a heartbeat.

Preaching to the choir, we have software that requires local admin rights to run as well.
I can say that at least we let our users use thier browser of choice, as IE is just horrible.
Sep 23, 2011 at 11:01 UTC
And this person was still able to browse the internet? :)
Sep 23, 2011 at 11:01 UTC
Is there any room left to actually display anything? Each to their own I suppose, but my that's irritating.
Sep 23, 2011 at 11:02 UTC
And that's why the only one's who can install anything is us (IT) in our outfit. YEars and years ago, some of the "users" had so many toolbars, there was no where to display anything on their browser.
Oh, when we took local admin rights away, the wailing was long and loud, but they got over it.

And now the viruses have started popping up. I guess I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours.
I would consider re-imaging, but this computer is a special case, and I don't have an image.

she has a lot of room for more tool bars.

And now the viruses have started popping up. I guess I know what I'm doing for the next couple of hours.
I was hoping for you that you'd get lucky, but I had a user with a similar selection of toolbars and her computer was infested.
Fortunately she was one of my small subset of users that had no work related reasons to have the internet. So after full reformat her proxy now loops home. 127.0.0.0 can be a beautiful place.

LOL, I swear we had a user that was ALMOST that bad. =p
Sep 23, 2011 at 11:21 UTC
I've had plenty of users with this issue and none of them remember ever using or adding the toolbars. And they wonder why IE won't load and crashes when they try to use the "internets".
*shakes head*

Toolbars are one of those things that started out trying be helpful and somewhere along the way got lost in the advertising/click-driving black hole.
I think it is time to lay them to rest all together. I haven't used one since i figured out how to make Google my default search engine.
Question: How many of you even use a single toolbar?

On the serious side, One trick I have used for this very problem is a free RUN-AS utility called CPAU.exe - I reduce the current user down to a User security level and use CPAU to create an encrypted job with Administrator level credentials. In my case, our users have lost their personal porno palace and now have nothing to do with the PC but... Work.

I'm sure that by now many of you have heard of this, but if not, read this blog and watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc&list=WLD4248A85C101CD62&index=4&feature=plpp_video)
This is a serious topic, this has been going on since... heck I don't even know when it started, but in 2003 the victims said it had started years before. Alright let me tell you what it is that's been happening for so long...
There is this man named Joseph Kony, he is proabably one of the BIGGEST jerks since HITLER...
For, as I said, *years upon years upon years* this guy has been stealing children from their homes and then
a. Makes them child soilders forcing them to kill their own parents and others and to be this guys 'bodygaurds'
or b. (for most girls) uses them as sex slaves O_O
Until about 2003 these happenings were *completely* unheard of and there was *nothing* being done to stop it.. luckily shortly after 2003, that changed
A group called 'invisable children' (website: http://s3.amazonaws.com/kony2012/kony-4.html) has been going to schools, churches, communities, and governments all around the globe spreading the word and collecting money for the cause. However, just this... October I think it was? Anyway, not too long ago they came to my church and told us about it, at that time I, and I'd say most everyone else there, had never heard of it. And even shortly after, There wasn't much of a buzz. But just now they (invisable children) released a film on Youtube (they've already released a few films) (it's the link at the beginning of this blog) and suddenly this cause is gaining a lot of momentum, which is great! I thoought I should share this cause with you guys as well.
The video, the one at the top, explains a plan to stop Joseph Kony called KONY 2012. They are going to get 20 celebrities, perse (some are Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie, Ryan Seacrest, George Clooney, Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Justin Bieber, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg and more!) and 12 politicians (Some are George Bush, Bill Clinton and Mitt Romney) and they are going to encourage them to support this cause. I should have said this at the beginning of this paragraph but, I mean, the main idea here is to make Kony famous... not in a good way, Hitler famous, everyone knows who he is, the sound of the name would make a crowd of people cringe. We *MUST*get the word out and save these children, before it's too late! Another thing happening is April 20th. The idea with that is that on April 21st, everyone will walk outside and his name will be *EVERYWHERE* we want a poster on every pole in exsistence! (that sounded funny XD) So that some guy waiting for his ride at the station will say 'Kony? what does that mean?' and look it up on his iPhone, and he'll become a supporter.
Your probably thinking "So he's famous... what's that gonna do?" I'll tell you what it's gonna do! It's gonna get the attention of the media, of the government, of the people who run the world, so that they will do what we... kinda can't, not alone. They can send troops or kill or arrest Kony.
"Well what else can we do?"
Support Invisable Children or another charity by going to the website (I linked up there ^^^) you can donate money or buy a kit with posters and bracelets to help spread the word. And another think you can do... just spread the word! Make a poster! Make a status on Facebook! Tweet! Share the video! Tell a friend! *Say a prayer!*,**Write to a politictian yourself!** make a blog on a wiki! ;P
Let's make peace :)

I have my 4 lb. chicken all prepped and ready to go in the fridge. I seasoned and injected it. On the smoker, I have a Brinkmann Square charcoal wil coal pan mod. and sand in the water pan covered in foil with drip pan over it. Am using 2 dig. thermometers with an old-school oven thermometer dial inside. I m looking for any time and temp. tips before I dive in - and/ or wisdom on doing a whole chicken.

How did you prep your chicken? Whole, spatched, halved or cut into parts? Are you doing beer can chicken?
Whatever the method, you are likely going to want to keep all 4 vents on your Brinkmann wide open. you want as high a temp as that little box will give you, 325˚-350˚.** I've never used the square Brinkmann with sand in the water pan so I'm not sure on it's effect. I know with water in the pan and a grill wok as a charcoal basket I've struggled to keep temps over 200˚ in the old single door square Brinkmann, so you may wanna think about dumping the sand and just running an empty water pan as a diffuser. The timing will depend on how it's prepped. Couple hours for whole, little over an hour for spatched, halved or parts. 4+ if you leave it whole and go 225˚.
**I'm not a fan of low and slow on chicken, hence the high heat recommendation.

All done. It took right about 3 hrs. I pulled it at 172 IT in the breast and let it sit for 10 min. Cooked perfectly. My smoker though, i was pulling coals out and re-adding coals - the temp would spike to 325 and then drop to 240 - i opened/ closed vents, went for a full hour without opening the fire box door. I cant get this smoker to "level out". It runs high right from the beginning .Beyond that, the chicken was perfect.

Try brining it...I started using a simple brine with a little lemon juice and they come out great every time. I usually brine the day before, rub it the night before and smoke low. I like 200 to 225 for 4 to 5 hours, great smokey flavor, nice hint of lemon and it the brine keeps it juicy, really juicy.

In yesterday's post, we described the Tea Party "movement," which isn't a movement at all, but rather a disparate collection of angry folks who are disturbed by the economic plight of the country and the size of the government. It can best be described as an astroturf movement that has been manipulated by a few billionaires and large corporations.
As one astute writer for the Guardian wrote: [Here]
The Tea Party movement is remarkable in two respects. It is one of the biggest exercises in false consciousness the world has ever seen. And it is the biggest astroturf operation in history.
Astroturf events are those that are manipulated to look as if they are spontaneously inspired, created and organized at the grassroots level, but in reality are manipulated from above and out of sight by elite, special interests. The tragedy about the current tea partyers is that they are being run and funded by the very folks that they are denouncing or, as the Guardian writer put it,: [Here]
It [The Tea Party] is mostly composed of passionate, well-meaning people who think they are fighting elite power, unaware that they have been organised by the very interests they believe they are confronting.
The main puppeteers in this election are large corporations and the Koch brothers who own and operate a HUGE privately held enterprise called Koch Industries which makes $100 billion a year in oil refineries, coal, chemical plants and logging. The brothers control, own, and direct their business and are both worth $21 billion. David Koch coyly described Koch Industries as "the biggest company you've never heard of." And that's just the way they want it. [Here]
Before father Fred died (1967), he wrote his will in such a way that the estate could avoid large estate taxes by mandating large annual charity contributions. Thus, over time the Koch brothers became adept at the charity giving-and-getting influence game. The brothers have given huge amounts to public charities, such as the opera and medical research, particulary cancer research. (David has prostate cancer which is in remission, but when it comes out of remission, he hopes one of the institutions that he has funded will have had a breakthrough and will give him more years on this earth. Ah, it's nice to be rich, isn't it?)
Father Fred was a founder of the John Birch Society, the rightwing group that imagined Communists lurking everywhere. The extreme conservative philosophy continues today with the Koch brothers' lavish funding of rightwing think tanks such as the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. They have also created the Cato Institute which is devoted to espousing libertarian and neoliberal economic points of view. The Koch brothers also fund the Mercatus Center at George Mason University which is now a center for espousing Friedman's economic theories, a role that the Economics Department at the University of Chicago once filled.
Two groups that the Kochs have funded in this current election cycle are Americans For Prosperity and Freedom Works. They have the organizational ideas and the resources and the money to pull the strings of the tea partyers. These organizations are the puppet masters, but the Koch brothers pay their salaries.
The names of these organizations are all so innocuous, aren't they? And they all sound alike--Americans For Prosperity, Freedom Works, Tea-Party Express, Tea Party Patriots.
And what is all this sound and fury about? Make no mistake. The Koch brothers want a Milton Friedman-styled, free-market American economy and in order to achieve it, there would have to be: Privatization (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Public Education, etc.) Deregulation( Environmental standards, SEC, etc.) and Government downsizing (no Dept of Ed., etc.) In effect, let the markets prevail with no regulations or trade barriers. Throw out the protections citizens have fought for and won in a saner climate with a saner Congress and a more forceful WH. and a less ideological SCOTUS.
We have just seen what one SCOTUS decision (Citizens United v. FEC) can do. With unlimited anonymous funding (the Kochs and corporations) and complicit media outlets (FOX and News Corp), the only thing that stands in the way of a neo-liberal grasp of power in this country is an intelligent, alert and knowledgeable citizenry who can smell skunks in the bushes and snakes in the grass.
We'll know more on Tuesday....

It's always a delight to be able to put out a new full-length catalogue. If you don't already know about this one that will be because you are not on my mailing list. You can rectify that by simply asking to be included by emailing me using the link to the right.
Unlike my Short Lists which go only to people on the mailing list, full-length catalogues are open to all - you can view this one here:
Many items already sold to members of the mailing list, but plenty still there to rootle through. Enjoy..

I am still here! I've been having a lot of fun with photography classes I'm taking at Pittsburgh Filmmakers, and I've strayed a bit from photographing homes over the last few months. Hopefully the next 2 posts will make up for lost time. I'm looking for more spaces to feature too, so email me or connect on Facebook if you have one. Apartments or unique rooms or collections count too.
This is Jeb's Braddock schoolhouse. Located on the main drag, it's what you would imagine – a solid old structure with cool elements you couldn't replace, like the original boys bathroom complete with urinals & original hardware. It may be weird, but one of my favorite parts of his space was the bathroom. School bathrooms always have a certain nostalgic feel and sound to them. Jeb's main living space used to be a classroom and he's kept a lot of the chalkboards. The first floor is used for community and art events. Jeb is one of the folks at the heart of Braddock's revival. He organizes various community events – which I'll link to. He's also part of the local chapter of the Awesome Foundation – which doesn't have a direct connection to his work in Braddock, but is too good not to mention. Basically, every month, members of the group collectively pitch in $1000 to fund a local project. The criteria is pretty loose. They basically just want to hear great ideas for inspiring projects. Read about them all here. Maybe you even have one! Without further ado, the first of 2 Braddock lofts …

Tech News on G4
'Tomb Raider' reboot a modern classic
Mar 22, 2013
By John Powell - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- John Powell column archive
If you didn't realize it before, when an evil islander spits at captured Lara Croft: "Don't you f-----g move!" you know something is very different about the latest instalment in the 'Tomb Raider' franchise.
Developed by Crystal Dynamics and simply entitled 'Tomb Raider', the game re-introduces us to the exploits of archaeologist turned adventurer: Lara Croft.
Considering Croft is one of the seminal video game characters of all time, the move is a very dicey one. As it turns out, returning Croft to her roots and reimagining her personality and overall tone has worked wonders bringing more emotion and a missing edge.
The Lara Croft we play here is not the carefree sharp-tongued, sure-footed, clever buxom aristocrat exuding unrelenting confidence and poise in even the most perilous of situations. On her first ever expedition, she is a determined but inexperienced young woman who has never had to kill to save her own life much less survive in the isolated jungles of a lost, ancient island. At times, she is frightened and scared. She is shocked and appalled at the depravity of her enemies and the savage world around her.
Although the charismatic super-heroine Angelina Jolie portrays on the big screen is fun to watch, this new Lara Croft seems more real, more human, more believable in every way; which makes her struggle to survive all the more gripping.
In keeping with the initial origin, Lara is marooned but not by an airplane crash instead a violent storm destroys the ship she, her friends and crewmates are on. Uncovering a primative cult while also coming face to face with dangerous jungle wildlife and treacherous terrain all around her, Lara spends the rest of the game trying to locate and rescue as many survivors as she can. To do so, Lara aquires survivor points to improve her skills and combat capabilities as well as collecting "salvage" to create, enhance weapons and items at her disposal.
In accordance with the whole survivor aspect, Lara starts off the game with very little in terms of equipment or weapons. She does pick up a bow, (which introduces stealth kills) but her hand-to-hand combat is limited to pushes until she obtains a hand-axe. This can be galling when baddies charge you as your only option is to put distance between yourself and them or if you are lucky enough to have a cliff-face nearby, shove them over.
An intense cinematic experience with some of the best cut-scenes ever produced, 'Tomb Raider' is more about action than puzzle solving. Even the actual tomb raiding aspect, the former calling card of the series, is now completely optional. You will come across ancient tombs to explore but it is totally up to you if you wish to solve the environmental puzzles presented to score some treasures or not.
We are only three months into 2013 and Crystal Dynamics has really set the bar high. Gamers will struggle to find a better looking and more cohesive title. The cut-scenes are of cinematic quality and the story is concise yet very moving at times. One insane action scene has you swept up in a raging river, falling down a waterfall, landing in the cockpit of crashed plane, throwing on a parachute as the cockpit glass breaks beneath you, pulling the cord on the chute so you can float and dodge your way through tree tops before landing back on the ground. Whew!
To top it all off, the baddies aren't chivalrous at all. They don't take it easy on our hero so be prepared for some adult or mature confrontations. 'Tomb Raider' is definitely not for the wee ones as some of the other chapters in the saga were.
The reason why 'Tomb Raider' as a franchise fell out of favour with gamers is because the gameplay didn't match the times. Nowadays, most gamers are not willing to spend 20 minutes completing one tricky jump sequence or solving one puzzle. Many forms of media are vying for their attention, as well as many other games. They are willing to face difficult challenges but want to feel like they are always moving ahead, not stuck in an insurmountable rut. 'Tomb Raider' had no choice but to evolve beyond being a puzzle game with some action elements. It had no choice but to appeal to a more mature audience and therefore it only made sense to mature Lara Croft from a sassy sex symbol into a fully-developed character.
