Oregon Legislative Tie
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The legislative tie that fostered a relatively collegial and bipartisan spirit in Salem for the past two years is coming to an end. Democrats will retake firm control of Oregon's state government today. In the state House, an even split between Republicans and Democrats forced the parties to resolve every issue with a bipartisan agreement. The 77th Legislature will convene for the first time with a more liberal House and a more conservative Senate. Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber also will deliver his annual state of the state address to a joint session of the House and Senate.

tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
Hey, I'm 16. I started having tonsillitis when I was 12. A year after having my first tonsillitis attack, it keeps on getting back every month. Atleast once a month. Right now, I'm still suffering from tonsillitis. Any advice? A haven't taken any operation in my past so I'm having second thoughts about the whole operation thing. If you know an option, please help me. Badly need it. Thanks!
Re: tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
Have them out. That's my only suggestion. They may be chronically infected and that's the only remedy.
Re: tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
Won't that be dangerous?
Re: tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
Get them out. I wish I pushed more when I was in my 20s and then in my 30s. It's not that I had consistent infections, but I get tonsilstones and tonsil "guck", and clean them daily. I'm 58, and loathe the process....
Don't wait. If you have chronic infections and your tonsils are now overloaded, they're not working any longer. As well, continuous antibiotics aren't good either.
Chronic sick tonsils can give you bad breath, and possibly other gastro issues in the future. They cannot say living with chronic tonsil issues is fine, because it's not.
GET THEM OUT...lol. not yelling, just emphasising.
Re: tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
No, it's not really any more dangerous than any other same day surgery. It's a fairly simple procedure. The recovery is pretty long - all things considered but it's not all that awful. I had mine out at age 25 - it sure wasn't fun but I've been miraculously well since then! Have them out before you have other issues - sinus infections, ear infections with possible deafness, etc.
Re: tonsillitis that keeps coming back, any advice?
Thanks for your advices, I really appreciate it. Well, I have to think whether to take them out or not. I'm still nervous about the whole surgery thing. But really, thanks.

ALMOST 1,500 people have objected to a 7ft seawall across Shoebury Common – with just two people backing the controversial plan.
Southend Council will decide the £5.18million scheme – designed to protect more than 350 homes and businesses in Shoebury from flooding – in May after considering concerns.
More than 80 per cent of the objections were from the letters anti-seawall campaign group the Friends of Shoebury Common and the Burges Estate Residents' Association distributed across Shoebury and Thorpe Bay for people to sign and return.
Ray Bailey, of the Friends of Shoebury Common, said: "It shows the tremendous support for the opposition to this scheme."
Fellow member Peter Grubb, whose cafe Uncle Tom's Cabin would be cut off from the seafront by the wall, said: "We are passionate about this area.
"We believe it is a travesty of justice that alternative proposals have not been considered. After all, Southend is a seaside resort and I'd have thought the council would want the seawall to enhance the area."
People signed more than 700 of 5,000 letters a team of more than 20 volunteers distributed on behalf of the Friends group, whose alternative £10.3million plan to raise the promenade and beach huts was rejected as too costly.
Another 522 people put their names to the 1,200 separate residents' association letters delivered by members.
Treasurer MikeStafford, who is also an Independent councillor for Thorpe, said: "We have had lots of complaints from members, saying the plan is going to destroy the seafront."
The cross-party group of councillors that will decide the application in public may consider the duplicate letters as two blocks from the two groups which collected them, rather than individual objections, aswell as 268 other letters of objection submitted by residents.
Chairman David Norman said: "There is no general rule about this, but it does tend to be the case that planning committees will give more weight to individually written letters than they will to a 'round robin' type of letter, which is the same letter sent by different residents."
The council decided to push ahead with the plan for an earth embankment across the public space, despite objections from eight out of ten respondents to its consultation in November.

largest TF card this will handle?
i have a 512 in mine, thats what the specs say is the largest "recommended", but has anyone tried a 1 or 2gb card in this phone?
I have owned the phone for 1 week. On page 32 of the M610 phone user guide provided by Sprint, it states, "the maximum storage size for a microSD memory card is 1Gb." But, I'm using a 2Gb Motorola microSD card (I purchased on Ebay for about $80 + $7 sh) and it works perfectly fine. I have saved both pictures and videos to the card from the phone, without complications.

White returning to world tennis competition
By Charlie Garfinkel
To make the International Tennis Federation's U.S. Senior World Championships Tennis Team, which is the senior equivalent of the Davis Cup and Fed Cup competitions, would be considered a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.
To make the team for a second straight year would be highly improbable due to the many new and outstanding players coming into the different divisions each year.
And yet, Elma's Ken White has achieved that.
He is currently ranked third and first respectively in the United States in the 50-over singles and doubles divisions.
"I was very pleased and excited when I was recently notified that I would be one of 40 players who would be representing the United States in different age divisions in Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Fla., from April 21 to 26 for the team competition and from April 27 to May 4 for the individual competition," he said.
White will be playing third singles and first or second doubles in the 50-over competition. There are five divisions in both the men's and women's teams with four players on each team.
Among the 40 players who are representing the United States in different divisions are Michael Chang, the former French Open singles champion who is playing in the 40-over division, and Jeff Tarango (45-over), who was once ranked in the top 25 in the world on the pro tour.
More than 1,000 players from 39 countries will be represented in both the men's and women's divisions in the team and individual competition.
Andrew Stoner is the second-ranked 50-over player in the country and plays out of Scottsdale, Ariz. He has competed against White in many competitions and knows White's game well.
"When I first met Ken in the senior competitions about seven years ago, I was really impressed at how powerful his overall game was," Stoner said. "However, he wasn't really consistent and needed some improvement in different areas. Incredibly, he seems to get better as he gets older. His serve is arguably the hardest on the tour and is hit between 125-128 miles an hour.
"I was on the pro tour and I got to hit with such outstanding women as Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles and Chandra Rubin. Their serves topped out at 110 miles an hour, not even close to Ken's serve. Ken's forehand is a monster and is also hit with great power. If his serve is on, he can literally serve you off the court.
"What is really scary is that Ken knows when to use these weapons at crucial times. His backhand is also much improved, and he plays unbelievably under pressure. He is as fierce a competitor as any other player in our division."
White played first singles at Tonawanda High School. Although he was a good player, he wasn't ranked in the upper echelon of the top high school players. When he went to UB, he met highly regarded tennis coach Bill Monkarsh.
"Monk" transformed White's game from being a pretty good player to becoming the only All-American in UB history. Monkarsh was a great motivator and worked with White as hard as any player he had ever encountered.
However, Monkarsh wasn't totally responsible for White's competitiveness. White was one of five brothers; all good athletes.
"My brothers and I would do anything to beat each other, regardless of the sport," he said. "We would compete to see who could throw the baseball the farthest and who would hit the most home runs. In basketball and football we were also always tough on each other."
White has had plenty of great wins, but his victory over Scott Davis in the 50-over division was the highlight of his career. At the time, Davis was the nation's top ranked 50-over player and was formerly ranked No. 11 in the world on the pro tour in singles and second in the world in doubles. "When I knew I was going to play Davis, I wasn't intimidated as most players are," White said. "I know my game and my ability. I feel that I can compete and win against anyone in my division. And, I know I'm playing smarter and better as I get older.
"I used to go down the line a lot. Now, like most of the pros, I continually hit cross court until I can get a shot to put away. Playing with and against so many great players has also improved my doubles game."
At 6-2, 210 pounds, White is an imposing figure off and on the court. Five mornings a week he plays and works out at a bubble in East Aurora. After his tennis drills, White will play at least one set with good friends and heavy hitters Darryl Acker or Pete Ryan.
White has won 19 national titles in the 45 and 50 age divisions and is hoping to add a few more. He is also a glutton for punishment. You would think that his training and playing two weeks straight in the world championships would be enough, but not so. Next week, as a tuneup for the world's championships. White will be playing singles and doubles in the National Senior Clay Courts in Baton Rouge, La.
"I realize that I will be playing a great amount of tennis over the next few weeks," White said. "I make sure that I eat light and drink plenty of coconut water to keep my electrolytes up, and get lots of sleep. I feel that I am a very lucky guy."

" Brand: Joe Browns / Type: Tops "
* Prices may differ from that shown
With the warmer weather finally upon us I have been buying myself a few new bits and pieces clothes wise. I bought this t-shirt for wearing to the gym and for when I go out cycling really and I bought this t-shirt in fuchsia pink though it is also available in white too should you prefer that option.
This t-shirt is available in sizes 8-18 and my opinion this is a true to size garment with plenty of give in it and it isn't a clingy item at all and I think its actually rather flattering on.
It is made from 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester so its a lightweight t-shirt and it is fully machine washable and tumble dry safe though you shouldn't be ironing this one as it is meant to look wrinkled and full of creases and even though I wash and wear this often I haven't had any problems with this at all in the way of shrinkage, fading or bobbling or anything else adverse at all.
Style wise this is a very simple to look at t-shirt which is long line, just over capped sleeved arms in length and a rounded neckline that isn't one bit revealing. You can't see through this garment and its very well made indeed and I love the fact that this is a long line length that doesn't ride up at all and the only bit of detail on it is on the bottom right hand corner of it where there is a silver heart shaped button so branding as such this doesn't really have to it.
Its easy to care for this item and I love this pink girly colour that mine has to it and although it costs £20.00 for just one t-shirt it has turned out to be really worth it due to the fact I can just wash and wear it with ease!

I got an email earlier this week from one of the reichwing newsletters that I subscribe to and in it, there was a conspiracy theory involving Chinese hackers who could kill you through your pacemaker (hey, it happened this week on Homeland, didn't it, smartypants?). Apparently, I didn't read it that closely—it didn't merit it—and just deleted it, they had some device that you could buy to protect yourself from the Chinese hackers by scrambling the serial codes for your pacemaker or… something. Clearly this organization were marketing geniuses and knew that a high percentage of their audience probably did have pacemakers installed and additionally probably suffered from senile dementia. (This isn't the article I refer to, but you'll get the gist of it here).
Last night on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert tackled the problem some older Fox News viewers might have separating the shit from the Shineola. Maybe it's just a matter of "Low-T" or "Low-O," he wondered?
Via Raw Strory:
Older people, Colbert began, are less able to trust their gut instincts, according to a report from Fox News. As they age, many people lose their ability to discern whether someone is lying to them or is trying scam them. They become more trusting.
"Who'd have thought that elderly Fox News viewers would be more susceptible to misinformation?" asked Colbert.
Glenn Beck, for sure. The companies selling them extortionately over-priced gold coins delivered to their front door. The publishers of NewsMax and WorldNetDaily, definitely. The NRA. The Tea Party Express. Sarah Palin. The Republican National Committee. It's a pretty long list.

Dev Anand's son, Suneil is very determined to revive Dev Anand's very own banner Navketan and has been busy shooting a 100-minute English film sans any song and dance, Vagator Mixer, in Goa with a cast and crew from Hollywood.
While Suneil has a very packed schedule, Anand studio is also getting ready for a second innings. There have been rumours about the studio being sold off but Suneil insists that there is no truth in them.
"I have a legacy to take forward. The show will go on. The studio is presently being upgraded and renovated and we should be able to reopen it in four months," he says. After completing Vagator Mixer, Suneil plans to commit to celluloid some of the scripts his father has left behind.
"Before he passed away, dad and I felt the time was right to make a Hollywood film. He has left behind six scripts and I'd like to turn each into a movie. But the concept of Vagator Mixer is mine and I've worked with two American writers on the screenplay. We have about 20 per cent left to shoot which we will complete in Los Angeles," says Suneil, who plans to wrap the film up by the year end.
He intends to release the movie worldwide and plans to dub it in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu for the local audience.
Asked if there are any plans to re-release any of the Navketan classics in colour, he says,"None as of now but if I had to pick up one, it would be Tere Ghar Ke Samne. A story I would like to take forward is the slickly made, interestingly written Jewel Thief."} else {

First, remove the 2 screws that hold the lower front cover in place, remove the cover and disconnect the plug and the ground wires from the pump. Next attach the washing machine drain hose to a wet vac, since even if the machine is empty, there will still be water in the outer tub and the pump. Suck the whole thing dry, remove the 2 bolts that hold the cover onto the pump, use a pliers to remove the 2 hose clamps, remove the hoses (no mess because of the vacuum). Remove the 2 screws that hold the pump to the base of the washer and remove the pump. Save the mounting bracket from the bottom of the pump. Orient the outlet on the new pump to match your old one if needed, instructions to do this are included with the new pump. Install the mounting bracket onto the new pump. Mount the pump to the washing machine base, reconnect the hoses, the cover and the wiring. Put the drain hose back into your drain. Run the machine, check for function and leaks. If all is well, replace the lower cover. Don't forget to tell your wife that the job was a whole lot harder than it looked.

Were these instructions helpful?
Vacuum all water possible from the tub. Remove the front panel to provide access to the pump. remove the pump from the washer, but leave the hoses attached lift the pump into the bucket, and remove the clamp from one of the hoses. clip the hose partially off the fitting and drain water from the rest of the tub and hoses. It may be necessary to reattach the hose during this draining process to keep from overflowing the bucket. When the lines are empty, remove the other clamp and remove the hose from the pump. Be sure to disconnect the pump and check the hoses. I have found a sock in the tub drain line twice, which either stopped the line, or blocked the impeller. replacement of the pump is the reverse.
First I turned off the water. Since the pump is at the front of the machine,it was easy to get too. I then removed the hoses by squeezing the hose clamps with pliers. I removed the electrical plug and then removed the 3 screws holding the pump to the base. I changed orientation of the outlets per instructions,which was very easy. Installation of the new pump was performed in reverse. I had difficulty getting one of the hose clamps back on and changed it to a screw clamp. I turned the water on,ran the machine and checked for leaks. Partselect saved me several hundred dollars in repair costs.
Very easy - veins are held in with one screw, when removed just slide to front of the washer and lift out. Pump assembly is a remote unit complete with drive motor. Take 2 screws out of the water shield, then unplug power to the pump motor and the green ground wire. Slide a cloth under the machine at the area of the pump to catch the water when the hoses are removed. Remove the hose clamp from the rear of the pump and the clamp on the discharge hose. You may be able th remove the hoses now, but if not remove the two bolts that hold the pump to the washer base & then remove the hoses. When you have the pump out you have to change the mounting base to the new pump. Also you may have to rotate the new pump discharge side with the motor (instructions are included with the new pump) - mount new pump, attach hoses, clamps,wires and water cover. Install front door that was removed at the start - pump in in the front right corner after removing the access door in front.
just change the new pump conected to trhee wires and two pipes.
After pulling $4.50 out of one of the hoses. I found that the fins inside the pump were gone. LOL I purchased another pump from partselect.com and proceded to install it. It was a simple installation, the hardest part was getting the hose clamp off of one of the hoses( it was one of those dang clamps you need a pair of pliers to remove). I switched the mounting brackets from one pump to the new one and reinstalled the pump. Machine was running in under 1/2 hour. Thank you partselect.com
First, I unplugged the washer then removed the front panel to the washing machine, then the pump cover, then the two hoses connected to the pump, draining them into a small bowl. I removed the ground wire and electrical connections.Then I removed the two bolts holding down the pump and removed it. I had to pivot the hose connections on the pump to match the old one. Once I did this, I removed the hold-down bracket from the old pump and installed it on the replacement pump. Getting the hoses clamped back on the new pump was a challenge, and I finally used an automotive clamp on the rear hose. Once the hoses were connected, I bolted the pump back in, reconnected the power and ground connections and replaced the cover.Overall, it was a fairly straightforward installation and the only challenging part was the hose clamps.
Loosened top of washer from spring tabs and leaned it against wall, removed two phillip head screws from the front bottom panel, removed panel. Removed spring clamps from 2 hoses( make sure water is drained from tub before doing this!!) on pump, removed 2 wire connectors. Used nutdriver to remove 2 screws that held down pump. Replaced pump and everything else installs in reverse. Almost forgot, the plate that holds the pump to the bottom of the washing machine has to be removed from the old pump and attached to the new one.
ordered the new pump,its a lot more heavy duty than the orginal.had to change the mounting bracket somewhat. the new pump mounted bythe bottom of the pump housing and theold pump mounted by the side of the pump housing. so, wnere the curve was in the mount, I used the bench grinder to cut the curve out to make a flat surface for the new pump to rest in ,also drilled two 1/4 inch holes in the mount for the bolts to mount the pump.
Disconnected power, removed hoses, removed housing and pump. Re oriented drain pipes on pump to align with washer hoses (just twist collar and re set) attach foot bracket and secure to washer bottom. Attaching the hoses with the compression clamps was a bit of a problem until I used pliers to press the ends together and then an adjustable wrench to hold them tight. Slid on hoses and released clamps. Replaced electrical and secured pump cover. Done in about 15 minutes.
Removed old pump and installed new pump in same order. Only problem was reinstalling wire spring clamps with hoses on new pump. Not enough room to use pliers to open clamp. Otherwise a simple installation. A small vise grip pliers might help to hold clamp open. Check and rotate inlet/outlet end of pump as included directions describe first before installation.
Pump replacement quite simple - most difficult part of job was figuring out how to disassemble outer washing machine panels. Pump required disconnecting 2 hoses and an electrical connection.
part was fast easy to put on know work better then before
I had replaced the pump 5 years earlier and now it was leaking again. When I removed the old pump, I discovered a bobby pin had made its way into the pump and was chewing up the housing, causing a small hole. This was a very simple repair as the pump sits right in the bottom front of the machine. The most difficult part was removing the old hoses and re-attaching them to the new pump. Four bolts/screws and two electrical connectors, which cannot be confused, made this an easy fix.
Fairly easy repair to replace the discharge pump assembly. Remove the access door, pump shield, disconnected the hoses, remove the hoses, and the pump housing screws. Orientation of the water pump had to be changed to match original, easily done by rotating the pump hosing. Installed in reverse order and job was complete

'Dhoom 3' breaks box office collections records, this time in Pakistan
On Tuesday, Dhoom 3 box office collections had managed 20.14 crore with Rs 19.33 crore from Hindi version, Rs 81 lakh from Tamil and Telugu with a grand total of Rs 149.46 crore nett in India alone (excluding overseas collections).

Adarsh also expects Dhoom 3's India business to cross Rs 200 crore nett by Friday/Saturday (all languages).
Dhoom 3, third offering from the 'Dhoom' franchise, has also become the top opening weekend grossers in the United States. Opening weekend collection in US for Dhoom 3 amounted to $3,880,000. Previously, Chennai Express had collected $2,416,513 in opening weekend ($5,306,729 overall).

Don't drop it. My friend did...the front sight disappeared
Magicial gun? is it one of those like "clap on lights" when you hit it the light comes on, but in this case the front sight goes on/off? o.O
I traded back my P22 to family member, bought the Taurus 94 with the money. Didn't like my P22, worked best with federal red bulk pack. Though it would have 5-10 failure to load in 50-100 shots. Pot metal slide, not my thing. I was thrilled to get the P22 at first, and was fun to learn on cheap ammo. When I get the 94 I just drooled over it, didn't have to pay $30 a magazine to shoot and saves on my fingers from compressing magazine.
It's still a fun little gun that can be used, if I got one in a trade for something I would just keep it for fun and ignore the bad on it. I wouldn't recommend intentionally buying one new though.
When you start talking about using CCI ammo to shoot so it doesnt have failure to load, then it defeats the point of cheap shooting. $14 a box of 100 CCI or $20 a box of 550 federal bulk pack........
Then again I am just some guy on the internet with my thoughts on it, others will say different. Test it out and see if you like it, if not sell it and buy something else.
Has Taurus really spent more on shipping customers their firearms back to them than actual sales?

In one of the more cruel injury twists in a season full of them, Bears tight end Dustin Lyman is out for the season with a knee injury sustained in what appeared to be the breakout game of his career.
Lyman ruptured the graft that was done to repair his left anterior cruciate ligament torn in his junior season at Wake Forest. Lyman injured his knee in the second half of the Bears' 30-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in which he caught a career-high seven passes for 58 yards, two of the receptions coming after he was injured and continued to play.

Recently we've seen some sinful uses of social media; from clueless users to pointless tweeters. Already this year we've witnessed an array of social media blunders, not to mention those who've been prosecuted for their comments on social media.
So why all the sinning? With social media use at an all time high and as competition increases between social businesses, people are stretching the social media boundaries to stand out online. Some businesses have lost sight of social media etiquette, business etiquette and common sense as they "borrow" content and spy on their competitors.
But businesses that abuse social media are only damaging their own reputations and jeopardising their business opportunities.
So what are the 11 social media sins?:
1. Forgetting that social media makes you omnipresent
Although you can delete posts, people can also screen grab and anything you post can remain in the social media realm forever. This is particularly relevant with Twitter — you can never be certain who is monitoring what you tweet. Never post anything on social media that you wouldn't be happy for the whole world to see.
2. Not being consistent across social media platforms
Treat social media as one and be consistent across your social media profiles. Your social media profiles should not be competing for your attention, do not favour one over the other; you should post content consistently over all sites. But keep in mind though that each has its own rules and purposes.
Use Twitter to signpost, ensure LinkedIn is B2B focused, Facebook B2C and Google+ should be a mixture of the two. You may need to alter the language of your posts based on the target audience of that platform. Ensure that your presence is consistent and truly represents you. Your social media profiles are usually the first place people go to find out about you, if you've got a mismatched, jumbled and inconsistent presence, people will be less likely to trust you and what you post.
3. Not being vigilant about fakes and trolls
There are thousands of fake social media users posing as celebrities and everyday users, with many of these being controlled by internet trolls. These are people who trawl social media sites posting derogatory comments and abusing users and should be reported to the social networking site in which they are operating on.
You must ensure that those influencers you follow are verified (have a little blue tick). If you're an infamous user yourself, consider getting your own account verified.
4. Not minding your Ps and Qs
You need to be careful what you tweet, even on your personal social media profiles. If your employer is mentioned on your profile, they can be liable for any offensive comments you make through Vicarious Liability.
Mind your social media Ps & Qs, watch your language and do not swear — especially if you're posting from your business account. Your tweets represent your brand so ensure they reflect your target market and avoid offending anyone with your language.
5. Taking a break from social media
There are proven best and worst times to post on social media and constantly broadcasting brand messages can be a waste of time. Check out the best times to post and ensure your posting is targeted.
Mix up scheduled tweets with timely posts throughout the week so you'll create a great balance for your social media profiles and save yourself a lot of time.
6. Sharing personal information
Social media is not the place to air your dirty laundry and you will undoubtedly regret doing this so don't share your personal information, family disputes or private matters.
Do not mix your personal life with your business handles; ensure you create a different personal account to keep up to date with friends. Already this year we've seen a number of cases involving people being fired, and in some cases prosecuted, for what they've said on social media. Again, don't post anything that you wouldn't want the world to see — including friends, family, colleagues and employers.
7. Deleting negative comments
Most of us have received negative or abusive comments on social media at some time. Don't delete these comments, instead reply to them promptly (not necessarily immediately) and appropriately (step back, compose yourself, don't reply in anger, deal with this in the same manner as you would through any other form of contact) to show you are dealing with this.
This is particularly true when it comes to social customer service; Twitter is now the first place many of us go to complain and if your company is brushing these comments under the carpet and removing them from your feed then this shows you in a terrible light. Show respect when replying and only use humour if appropriate.
So, don't kill comments (unless truly offensive, in which case report and block); start dealing with them confidently. Ultimately, you will be judged on the way with you deal with it.
8. Not being faithful to your connections
Don't insult or mock people via social media; instead treat all your connections with respect. Ensure you get the tone of voice right, as well as the content you share — never position yourself online as something you are not.
Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. Forge new relationships, share content and that way your will gain respect, support and recognition.
9. Copying content
Social media has made it harder than ever for individuals to keep a track of their comments, posts and articles; and it's now easier than ever for people to steal your content. Don't steal other people's tweets, arguments and opinions — it's wrong.
We all know that social media is great for getting content ideas and inspiration, but if you are to use someone else's articles, don't present them as your own and reference them correctly. Social media content can still be copyrighted and you may find yourself in trouble if you present ripped off content as your own.
10. Lying
Many people think social media gives you anonymity but this isn't always the case. Social media posts and comments are traceable so never use social media to slander people or businesses.
If you have a problem with a business or a brand, make sure you bring this, politely, to their attention and do not use social media as a way to broadcast your hate towards them. If you're a business, don't lie about other companies or mock them on Twitter.
Ensure that you have correct training and policies in place to monitor what your staff post and who has access to your accounts. After all, social media is an extension of your existing communications channels.
11. Jealousy
Love what your competitor is doing on social media? Well, don't just sit back green with envy, go and do it yourself. Social media has removed boundaries that were traditionally the realms of big brand, big budget names.
Social media has provided a glass wall into other businesses and If you like something they're doing, then think about doing something similar yourself. Not only has it allowed you to monitor competitors, social media has also allowed you to keep a track of your business targets, giving you an easy way to communicate and network with them.

School zone times have been standardised in Queensland to help motorists remember when to slow down.
The standard operating times for most school zones* in Queensland is 7–9am and 2–4pm.
Due to regional circumstances, some councils have been granted slightly different operating times that apply to all school zones* in their council area.
The councils in the table below have schools zones that are different from the standard 7–9am and 2–4pm.
*There are a small number of school zones that operate outside the standard hours for their council area (such as all-day school zones). Please note that school zone signs in regional Queensland are still being updated, so any existing signed times still apply and will be enforced by police.
Exemptions to the school zone operating times may be granted to a school if the standardised times do not suit when children arrive and depart each day. The relevant road authority will assist the school in understanding the circumstances that may be considered for an extension of school zone times and how to apply.
Most all-day school zones operate between 7am–4pm and have been installed at some split-campus schools to help protect children who cross the road during the day to travel to classes.
In regional areas, all-day school zones may operate at different times to match up with the standardised times for that council (e.g. Gympie Regional Council has an all-day school zone that operates from 7.30am–4pm).
All-day school zones will be installed at more split-campus schools in Queensland during the 2012/13 financial year.

Mixed martial arts and ultimate fighting have become wildly popular sports in the United States. What does this say about our civility?
The aim of the game is to fight until someone goes down, using any and every accessible method. This hardly seems like a sophisticated or respectable hobby.
This is not to say that MMA fighters are mindless brutes, or that the sport has no intelligent organization. There is a lot of strategy and training involved, and it certainly isn't for the weak-minded.
But the sport, with hardly any regulation, is incredibly dangerous. Fighters can execute almost any kind of blow or hold, and protective headgear is only optional. There is constant danger of permanent or fatal injury, as was proven by the death of MMA fighter Michael Kirkham after injuries suffered at Aiken's professional fighting event June 26. Kirkham lost consciousness after numerous blows to the head, something not uncommon during a fight.
His death was an accident, and his opponent was merely competing in the sport, doing his best to win. Nobody was trying to cause permanent damage. But when two fighters with basically no rules and no protection are locked in fierce combat, what are the chances of someone not getting seriously hurt?
And yet, this sport is popular, and frighteningly so.
It's not really a stretch to say that mixed martial arts and ultimate fighting are basically human cockfights. True, there's a huge difference in that people fight willingly and the chickens don't. But both exist for the same reason -- we find entertainment in brutality. The fact is, when watching people beat, kick and brutally wail into each other doesn't at least make you cringe, there's something wrong.
How far from savagery have we advanced when this kind of violence is fun and games?

The value of the dollar's net long position dropped to $10.56 billion in the week ended March 11, from $11.60 billion the previous week. That was the smallest net long on the dollar since the week of Nov. 5. Last Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls report failed to lift sentiment on the greenback, which had previously been undermined by a string of soft economic data. Overall, however, investors have maintained net long positions on the dollar for 19 consecutive weeks. The last time speculators were short the greenback was in late October 2013. The CFTC report also showed that there has been an influx into the safe-haven Swiss franc over the last week, with tensions between Russia and Ukraine escalating. Short-term investors have quadrupled their bets on the Swiss currency from last week's levels to 8,957 long contracts. The euro has proven resilient as well, notching longs of 36,385 contracts, from 23,452 the previous week. To be long a currency is a view it will rise, while being short is a bet its value will decline. The Reuters calculation for the aggregate U.S. dollar position is derived from net positions of International Monetary Market speculators in the yen, euro, British pound, Swiss franc and Canadian and Australian dollars.

Im seeing alot more of these around my city.
Some of them really trickt out too, they definitely make you look twice when they roll by.
Finally a post for the Elise! Such an awesome car I had to get one for myself.
Definitely the most exotic car you can get for under 50 thousand bucks. I love the stiff ride, the great exhaust note, and the attention the sexy body gets.

Sailing adventure enjoyed by local young people
Young people from two locally based projects; the Tilly Youth Project and Zone Youth LGBT+, have given a presentation on their sailing experiences to the AGM for Ocean Youth Trust Scotland Aberdeen and NE Scotland Group in Aberdeen [Monday 21 May].
The invitation to the AGM followed their participation in a 5-day sailing trip with Ocean Youth Trust which saw the group set sail aboard the Alba Venturer from Greenock, on Monday 09 April, and sail to Holy Loch, Loch Riddon and Campbeltown clocking up an impressive 166 nautical miles.
The sailing adventure was very hands-on with participants being taught how to steer the boat, navigate, change the sails and keep a lookout.
To ensure the boat is safe and people can rest the crew ran a watch system whereby they split the 12-person crew into two teams so there is always a team on duty. The system was a great way to split up the activities onboard so that everybody had the opportunity to do a task at least once.
The young people who took part are in the sailing adventure and spoke at the AGM are: Pawel Tyminski [17], Magdalena Tyminski [13], Justin Reiner [23], Natalie Pearson [18], Krysztof Skorvpinski [18], Magdalena Smich [15], Micolaj Smich [15], Agata Jaskiewicz [14], Arthur Kudojats [17].
The groups were supported by the Youth Development team of Aberdeen City Council.
Aberdeen City Council youth worker Ann-Marie Morrison, who accompanied them on the trip said: "All of the young people who took part in the sailing experience said they had a thoroughly enjoyable experience and of the seven that took part Krysztof Skorvpinski has applied to be a volunteer with Ocean Youth Trust."

Book review
'The Flame Alphabet': flee parenthood, or die
Ben Marcus' new novel, "The Flame Alphabet," is a harrowing tale of parents who must separate from their children — or die. Marcus reads Thursday at the Rendezvous Restaurant's Grotto — sponsored by Seattle's University Book Store.
Special to The Seattle Times
Ben MarcusThe author of "The Flame Alphabet" will read at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Rendezvous Restaurant's Grotto, 2322 Second Ave., Seattle. Sponsored by the University Book Store; free (206-634-3400 or www.ubookstore.com).
"We left on a school day, so Esther wouldn't see us."
From that opening line in Ben Marcus' new novel focusing on a mysterious pandemic, "The Flame Alphabet" (Knopf, 304 pp., $25.95), we are led to believe this is a story about abandonment. But Marcus defies us to make easy assumptions in this twisted tale of a family torn apart by an achingly personal disaster.
The narrator, Sam, tells us that a deadly, apparently airborne disease has taken hold over society, one in which the mere act of a child speaking brings adults to their knees in depleting sickness.
Bulletins go out over the radio airwaves suggesting it's best for adult survivors to pack up and flee. That means Sam and his wife Claire, who have a teen daughter named Esther, should go. So they plot to leave at a time when she won't be able to witness it.
All around Sam and Claire's community, children are being rounded up and quarantined by officials in protective suits who use nets and stun guns to suppress kids if need be. A secret exit means that Sam and his wife can spare themselves the excruciating sight of their daughter being carted off this way.
Scores of guilt-ridden parents, themselves emotionally stunned but ultimately resigned to the prospect of their families and civilization itself disintegrating, also gather their things and escape in a state of "disbelief walled off by illness." So toxic are Esther's breaths and words that they've already ruined her parents' physical appearance. Claire, we are told, has withered to the point that her hair looks like a wig and her skin like a mannequin's.
The scene-setting Marcus uses to pull the reader into this utterly repulsive new order sends chills down the spine. We are plunged into an underground world made up of adults in hiding and where odd radio transmissions emanate.
What is most disturbing about this story, of course, is the fact that the sound of children typically incites joy in their parents, not terror. Even worse for Sam and Claire, Esther, a bitterly snarky girl who they nevertheless want to coddle and impress, doesn't seem to understand how dangerous she's become, since she and the other minors are immune.
It is difficult to read about Sam yearning to keep his family intact and protect his daughter from the knowledge of her own poisonous speech, while striving for self-preservation. When his wife winds up disappearing, it only adds to his sense of dislocation.
Sam joins the fight among survivors to find a cure that makes disease-free speech possible again, working partly from the theory that "the alphabet as we knew it was too complex, soaked in meaning, stimulating the brain to produce a chemical that was obviously fatal." He wages this battle as a language researcher but also, more interestingly, as a tormented father.
There's something profound about Marcus' exploration of the power of language and the life-affirming nature of human breathing. He turns both of these normally positive ideas on their heads, but that only makes the sound of a loved-one's voice, the feel of a child's breath against the skin, seem that much more precious.

'Big effort to shop locally'
RETAILERS in Tralee have reported a positive start to the New Year with most traders in the county capital recording better than expected pre and post Christmas sales.
Traders in both Tralee town centre and at Manor West Retail Park said that despite slow sales in November and early December, blamed by most on consumers fears about the budget, the weeks immediately leading into the holidays had seen a marked and noticable increase in sales compared with recent years.
As well as a healthy pre-Christmas for most businesses traders also reported a strong post- Christmas with shoppers turning out for the post holiday sales in larger numbers than have been seen for several years.
Much of this boost in business, especially in the town centre, has been credited to the success of the Spraoi Tralee promotional programme, which was designed by Tralee Chamber Alliance and provided shoppers with free parking, generous voucher booklets and a range of festive entertainment.
Crucially traders in both the town centre and at Manor West said much of this year's Christmas spend had been locally based with Tralee residents opting to spend their hard earned cash in their home town rather than travelling to other shopping destinations like Limerick and Cork in such large numbers as in previous years. Tralee Chamber Alliance Board Member John Walsh of Walsh Bros Shoes in Tralee said Christmas 2012 had been positive for most businesses in the town.
"Overall it has been a good Christmas. It hasn't been a bonanza but any improvement on last year's performance is welcome," he said.
"Some shops did do better than others.
"The jewellers I've spoken are very pleased and things like tablets and computers were very popular so it was a very good Christmas for shops selling more techie items," said John Walsh.
"This year people seemed to make a big effort to shop locally. In fairness to them most shoppers wanted to support local business and the local economy," he said.
"We'll all have to keep our fingers crossed for the year ahead. Most businesses are optimistic that in 2013 trade will hold its own compared with 2012 or improve slightly," said Mr Walsh.
Manor West Retail Park Manager Derek Rusk also reported a positive holiday season at the park where he said footfall was at it's busiest for four to five years.
On a number of occasions over the holidays management at the centre opened overflow car parks to meet demand with up to 1,500 cars at the centre at some times.
"The sales have been very strong. People obviously put money aside for the sales and there is exceptional value to be seen," he said.
"The retailers at Manor West Retail Park have been very positive and business is up significantly on last year although there is a bit of fear about what the new year will bring."
In short, Tralee ended the year well and has hopes for a better 2013.

Hi fromheine.
Today at 3:38 a.m. you must have had a BSOD. Please upload the dump file. One more thing: ram stick is still in slot 2?!...

Slot1 = without errors
Slot2 = errors
So RAM is in slot1. And I don't know if dump files are here, I'll upload it anyways. If this isn't what are you looking for let me know where to find it :P

EDIT: I changed pc cable (Power supply one) and I hadn't restart for 3h. I should not scream too early but I think it's fixed, I'll let you know

Hi fromheine.
Bad news... It's time to shop another ram stick - which has been tested on your motherboard model by the manufacturer preferably.
Of the eight dump files dated today, June 13, 5 show a direct reference to memory corruption and the other, write errors in memory.
If the memory is under warranty, I recommend you to request a RMA. I also recommend you to do a clean installation of Windows for the new memory stick.
Best wishes and come back to tell us the news!
|My System Specs
|11 Aug 2011
Sorry for long time break.. But nothing really changed, I requested a RMA, but they didn't detect any problems, just suggested overwrite Windows. Well as soon as I overwrite windows I got BSOD. After like 2 days later I had no BSODs dunno why and until yesterday everything was good, I removed some of unused programs and BSODs just came back.
P.S. Shop manager said that this error could be because of electricity voltage, some old houses have that and this could be the problem. Could it be?

A judge is cracking down on parents who refuse to make their child's education a top priority.
On Wednesday, Judge Duke Bloom heard a truancy case that involved parent Craig Rogers.
His wife, Callie Rogers, was also supposed to appear in court but did not show up.
Rogers is charged with two misdemeanor counts of truancy for two of his children, who are in elementary school.
The kids have missed more than two dozen days combined since the start of the 2012-2013 school year.
Rogers admitted he has not been the best parent.
"I guess I was being a bad parent, bad decisions," he said.
Judge Duke Bloom sentenced him to 60 days of probation and a fine since it was his first offense.
Rogers risked getting into even more trouble when he admitted to the court that he would test positive for drugs.
Rogers did not answer questions from 13 News about his drug use.
Bloom took over truancy cases involving elementary kids last year.
Before that, they were being handled by all of the circuit judges.
Bloom is passionate about truancy cases and offered to handle them.
This consistency is something Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants said helps with the process.
"When you start looking five or ten years down the road, this will make a difference because more kids will be in school instead of being on the streets. I commend him greatly for the extra work. He doesn't have to do this," Plants said.
There were 400 truancy cases filed with the courts in Kanawha County during the 2011-2012 school year.
Bloom said the next few months will be a good indicator if their efforts are working for the new school year.
"The next 90 days will tell whether we've had a big impact or not because the numbers generally increase January, February, and March, so we'll see what happens. I hope the kids are going to school," Bloom said.
Bloom says the point isn't to punish the parents, but to get the kids back in the classroom.
Second offense truancy cases can result in jail time.
Parents can also lose custody of their children if there are underlying factors, like child abuse.

OTR furore sees MLAs gleefully reprise old roles
WHAT a relief the on-the-runs' crisis must be for our masters at Stormont. The mishandling of the John Downey affair has provided an opportunity for some politicians (DUP) to vent their spleen, for others (Sinn Fein) to be magisterial and yet others (TUV) to be scathing and dismissive.
What a treat it must be in the chamber to have this light entertainment, away from the A&E problems, the threat of financial fines by Westminster, plus many other serious issues. Coincidentally, the issue will play well in the coming elections.

Microsoft will unveil Looking Glass today, its first offering in the crowded social media monitoring space. Looking Glass is not yet available to the public and Microsoft will begin testing it next month. Advertising Age's Abbey Klaassen explains how it will work:
A marketing manager can get an e-mail alert when there's a sudden surge of chatter about his or her brand on Twitter or Facebook, along with the sentiment of that chatter and the influence level of those blogging. That information can then be connected to a customer-relationship-management system to decide whether customer service or PR should respond. Or a cable operator's customer service rep could monitor Twitter for outage reports and send off a repair request straight from the tool. And Looking Glass will hook up to existing customer databases, so a pharmaceutical brand manager would be able to figure out if a person throwing a hissy fit on his blog is an influential doctor or current customer.
In Forrester Research's Q1 2009 report on "Listening Platforms," Nielsen's Buzz Metrics ranked highest.

"an impressive display of grassroots activism"
The events have come together in less than two months' time, after a CNBC personality suggested that angry citizens protest the Obama administration's approach to the economic crisis by channeling the spirit of protest that sparked the Boston Tea Party.
If crowds approach their predicted levels, it will be an impressive display of grassroots activism — on a scale rarely, if ever, demonstrated by conservatives.
Although there's been little advertising and no real top-down direction from party leaders, they've made extensive use of social networking sites to bring activists together.
"This could be the beginning of conservative online grassroots politics," said David All, a Republican Internet strategist. "It has real potential. The interesting thing will be to see how it pivots, and whether it pivots. The real question is what happens after April 15."
The explosion of interest has left some conservative strategists wondering whether the Republican Party might have stumbled across the makings of its own version of the liberal MoveOn.org — a powerful organization with the ability to shape national politics.

Robert Mugabe's Re-election And The Zimbabwean Economy
As the dust settles following Zimbabwe's controversial election, we discuss the impact that Robert Mugabe's re-election will have on the country's fragile economy. Will the ruling ZANU-PF party accelerate its ambitious indigenization plan or follow a more moderate programme? Over the longer term, how will the ruling party deal with the succession questions dogging the 89-year-old president? Joining the podcast this week from Harare is Matthew Searle, a senior analyst with Business Monitor's Sub-Saharan Africa research team.

With a Democrat and Republican Congress at a 10 percent approval rating, the exclusion of three candidates from political debate is a disservice to those concerned with real solutions to urgent problems. The recent U.S. senatorial debate, televised by KUED and KBYU, excluded candidates with important ideas on climate change, education, drones, citizen rights and the Constitution, to cite a few examples.
Are we going to hand our children an impossible world to live in because we fail to consider solutions beyond business-as-usual? This approach has created the mess we now face. We are long overdue for a move from dominant party politics and must engage in a broad diversity of ideas and strategies.
As a service to present and future generations who long for the best world possible, we challenge the print and broadcast media to include the voices of all candidates running for election as a proper service to citizens of Utah. Burning issues such as those above are too important to be crushed by the stilling of voices by Utah media. We encourage readers to visit the websites below to see their various options, and to vote by conscience rather than party politics.

* Prices may differ from that shown
This mattress was fairly inexpensive for a memory foam mattress and I paid something like £300 for it. There was cheaper ones that I could buy but this one had some amazing reviews.
The mattress came rolled up which surprised me as I didn't see how they could roll up a king size mattress so small and originally I was worried it was a lot thinner than I thought it was. You need to unroll the mattress and then leave it for several hours to expand. It was recommended that I leave it for 24 hours so that's what I did even though I was desperate to try it out.
Once the mattress had been left for the required 24 hours I put it on my bed and it was a good fit with the fitted sheets etc that I had fitting onto it fine. It has a soft knit cover which is not only lovely and soft but also just gives the bed a more luxurious feel.
The memory foam is absolutely amazing and so super comfortable. I cannot stress enough just how comfortable that I find this. I used to wake up with a sore back and sometimes with sore muscles but not anymore I don't. It gives a lovely feeling of comfort and I do feel like I am just falling into it but at the same time it is a medium firmness which was important as I don't like my mattresses to be too soft. It has a 7 zone support in it which basically just means that it supports the different parts of your body comfortably and it does work for supporting the body and making sure that you don't wake up with aches and pains.
One of the best things about this mattress for me personally is that it supports both my husband and I. What I mean is that with the old mattress if he got up in the middle of the night for a pee and vice versa it would usually wake me up and I could feel the bed moving but now with this mattress my side barely moves if my husband gets up or if he is fidgeting.
We have had the mattress for a while now and it is still just as comfortable as it was when we first got it and hasn't lost it's shape or become dipped in any way. For me this was worth every single penny and if something were to happen to it I would gladly buy it again and pay even more money for it if I had to as it really is that comfortable.
I've always had problems being able to drift off to sleep with ease, I initially never thought it was due to the mattress I had been sleeping on as it was fairly new, only 6 months old, however when my parents bought me a new memory foam mattress from Silentnight my opinion suddenly changed. My Mattress was purchased from Amazon as they were selling it for around £160 reduced from the RRP of over £300, I personally think it is a lot of money to pay out for a mattress that your not sure if you'll get along with, and you can't even try it out first! However I did find that in the end this wasn't a problem for me.
When your mattress arrives you have to unroll it and leave it to stand for 6-12 hours depending on the size mattress you've purchased, mine was only a single so I left it for around 8 hours to be on the safe side. The mattress was true to size and fit into my bed frame with ease. When I first sat on the bed I had the impression that it would be light and fluffy due to my friend's comments that the memory foam mattresses make you feel as if you're sinking into the bed, this wasn't the case. The feel was like sinking, however not to the extent I imagined, it was more firm than fluffy giving my body a safe and structured support. Although I was looking forward to feeling as if I was floating on my mattress, this firmer feel has done my back wonders and makes it super easy to get comfortable for a night's sleep.
I'm not someone who flips, turns or changes my mattress around regularly so this isn't an important factor for me, however it does say on the instructions that this mattress needs to be turned to keep the structure good. The weight of it isn't as heavy as normal mattresses so even if you did decided you wanted to flip it as well it wouldn't be much of a problem.
Another plus is that these mattresses are supposedly bed bug repellent and anti-allergenic so you can also feel clean and safe from those bed bugs at night!
Overall I think this is a good investment for those who need a little extra care and support to help get a better nights sleep, from my personal experience I've found that since using this bed I have a lot more energy in the mornings and feel a lot happier, who knew how important a few hours sleep is!
