In a move that does not seem too surprising, a law was passed banning texting while driving either a bus or truck across America. Back in December, a law was passed banning texting while driving a government vehicle, so it is no surprise that buses and trucks were the next vehicles. This law will be effective immediately and it carries a hefty fine of $2,750. If being safe is not a good enough reason to stop texting when driving, then perhaps the monetary costs will deter drivers.
While it may seem like common sense, a research study was conducted and it found drivers of buses and trucks who text when driving are putting themselves at higher risk for accidents during the time their eyes are focusing on the cell phone screen. In addition, the National Safety Council finds 200,000 of all car crashes are caused by someone texting.
I wouldn't be surprised if a law was passed banning texting in any car, since it does pose a significant safety risk to not only you, but those around you.

Infinite Healing Items!
This glitch will allow you to have an infinite First Aid Spray, Green Herb, Mixed Herb, or any healing item you wish. First, make sure you DO NOT read the Instructions Book file that you get at the start of the game. Get any gun (except the knife). Now, get the healing item you want for the glitch. Make sure that your inventory is organized in the following order: -Playing Manual. -Your gun. -Your Healing item. Equip your gun, and then read the Manual. READ IT FROM THE FILES SCREEN. DO NOT CHECK IT. If you did this correctly, you will have your healing item equipped. If that's the case, exit the inventory screen and fire your gun. Now use your healing item. It shouldn't dissapear, it doesn't matter how much times you use it. It will still work if you store it, so Chris should be able to use it, too. DO NOT MIX YOUR HEALING ITEM. IT WILL LOSE HIS INFINITE PROPERTY. This should make getting the Rocket Laucher a piece of cake.

"Male guppies spend most of their time displaying to females. But if their courtship displays don't impress the females, males will attempt to sneak mating with them when they aren't looking," says Croft.
Male guppies are brightly colored to attract female attention, while female guppies are a dull brown color. The researchers show that female guppies might use this color difference to their advantage, venturing into the deep water where predators lurk. The males' bright coloring also attracts predators, making it too dangerous for them to follow.
"Understanding why and how [sexual segregation] occurs is essential if we are going to conserve and protect species and habitats," explains Croft, who points out that fish are not the only species who display this social characteristic. "In many ecosystems, predators are the first to go extinct, and our work shows that this may have many, perhaps unexpected, effects. In this case, females may suffer more sexual harassment."
Founded in 1867, The American Naturalist is one of the world's most renowned, peer-reviewed publications in ecology, evolution, and population and integrative biology research. AN emphasizes sophisticated methodologies and innovative theoretical syntheses--all in an effort to advance the knowledge of organic evolution and other broad biological principles.

Running: Treat Your Feet Right With Quality Sneakers
One of the reasons I love running is that it really requires no special gear. You just need a body and a desire to run. Then again, you might not need a racquet or clubs to go for a good jog, but I would suggest quality running shoes.
If you are taking up running, good quality running shoes can seriously make this habit stick. Old shoes, tennis shoes, cheap shoes often don't provide enough cushion to protect your feet, ankles, and knees which can lead to injuries and prevent you from learning to love running. Since shoes are really the only important gear needed for running, I wouldn't skimp on them. You don't need to pay out the nose for some newfangled shoe, but generally what you pay for is what you get. Expect to pay around $100. Which may sound like a lot, but can you really put a price on your knees? Plus, maybe the guilt of an expensive gear purchase will motivate you to run.
Look for a well cushioned shoe that fits your foot, matches your foot type and gait pattern. The best place to start this endeavor is a running store since they tend to employ people obsessed with running. Therefore they should be able to help you figure out your gait and point you toward the shoe for you. The American Council on Exercise recommends shoes with greater shock absorption for runners with high arches, which may make you more prone to ankle sprains. On the other hand (or foot I could say), if you have low arches look for a shoe with greater support and heel control. Here is a list of running shoes rated by the The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine. It should help you figure out what brands could be good for your needs.
Fit's Tip: Buy a shoe that's as wide as possible across the forefoot without slipping in the heel.

Dick Johnson Racing looks set to scale back from four to just two cars for the 2013 V8 Supercars Championship, with Paul Morris considering his options for 2013.
Morris currently runs his Racing Entitlements Contract from within DJR's four-car team, but the veteran team owner is close to deciding if he will remain with the famous Queensland squad for a second season, or switch to Holden team Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport.
Johnson's team is certain to reduce by at least one entry next year, with Charlie Schwerkolt taking his #18 REC to Ford Performance Racing.
Morris was coy when approached by Speedcafe.com on the future of his REC and did not rule out remaining with DJR next year.
"Obviously, you consider all your options, but right now, the plan is to press on here," Morris told Speedcafe.com.
"I've spoken to Lucas (Dumbrell) about next year, but I have no plans at the moment to do that."
In terms of timing, Morris says that he wants to secure his entry's future as soon as possible.
"Yesterday," Morris added when asked when he'd like his deal wrapped up.
"It's a dynamic thing that is evolving. For everyone's sake, we need a decision on what we're going to do, but until we get of our ducks in a row, it's a hard thing to commit to."
A switch to the LDM outfit by Morris would fit in well with Dumbrell's previously stated desire for expansion, and could potentially make use of the only Triple Eight Car of the Future chassis that is set to be completed in time for next season but is currently unaccounted for.
Triple Eight protege and LDM endurance driver Scott Pye has been linked to a drive with the Melbourne-based team, which currently fields Taz Douglas in its single entry.
If the Morris-Dumbrell deal does go ahead, it will leave the 2013 grid with 15 Holdens, six Fords, four Nissans and three Mercedes-Benz AMGs.
Meanwhile, the other REC owner within the DJR squad, Dean Fiore, confirmed to Speedcafe.com that he is pressing ahead with plans to remain with DJR.
"My intention is to stay with DJR. They've been really good to me, and despite the rumours and innuendo, the future of DJR looks bright," Fiore told Speedcafe.com.
"At the moment, they're running four cars quite comfortable, but whether it's two or three next year. It's just a matter of managing the people.
"For me, I learned a lot about the business of being in V8 Supercars, running my own show, not so much about the driving.
"I look at this as my second year in V8s, in terms of development as a driver, with access to proper data, really good people around me, and I'm enjoying my racing more than I ever have.
"It's not all doom and gloom. There's some hope there to do really well for the future. I just have to map it out properly for next year."
Additionally, DJR's operations manager Scott Jennings confirmed to Speedcafe.com that negotiations with major sponsor Jim Beam and car maker Ford are ongoing, but hinted that the team may run with a rotating list of primary sponsors next season.

The Mariners have hired Dave Hansen as their new hitting coach.
He replaces Chris Chambliss, who was fired after two years with the club. A 15-year major league veteran, Hansen spent the last year and a half as the Dodgers' hitting coach. He'll face a tall task in helping to improve an offense that finished last in the league in batting average (.234), on-base percentage (.296) and slugging percentage (.369).

White wine. Pinterest. Classic girl groups. Posting about drinking white wine while listening to classic girl groups on Pinterest. Adele Adele Adele!!! Have you heard of Adele? Everybody's into pseudo-soul these days, it seems, and they want you to know it. Even Meg Remy of U.S. Girls is feeling a soul vibe lately, it seems. Except, of course, that Meg Remy's take on Motown sounds nothing like a $9.99 Starbucks soul sampler and way more like, say, a scratched 45 recorded when a Motown producer and a bouffant-sporting Hollywood hopeful took too much acid (or just enough acid?) and started jamming with a talking lizard and a super stoned tree frog, both of whom were heavily informed by the North American garage rock and lo-fi traditions.
Yes, that is exactly what it sounds like. You'll see! You'll see when U.S. Girls releases a new EP called Free Advice Column on September 24 via Bad Actors, following up last year's GEM (TMT Review) on FatCat. Remy worked with Canadian hip-hop producer Onakabazien on this one, having previously paired up for a version of the Brandy and Monica classic, "The Boy Is Mine," available on the U.S. Girls on Kraak LP. You can check out the new track "Overtime" below, via The Fader:

BTW, I work at a Dealership.
There was 7828 Coupes and 2543 Convertibles that were built for 2007. There were 6 more that were built but lost to engineering testing, damage, etc
The last date of production for 2007 Mustang was 6/22/07, but it is possible that the Shelby ended a little bit earlier.

Focus on Green IT Leads Innovative Engineering School to VMware Virtualized Desktop Environment
Florida Atlantic University faces the challenge in designing its new LEED Platinum-certified building. The university wanted to build an IT infrastructure that was powerful, flexible and highly energy-efficient. The college chose VMware to overcome these challenges. The College chose to eschew traditional desktop PCs in its offices and labs and instead provide virtual desktops created with VMware View, accessed using energy-efficient thin clients. The results of deploying VMware virtual desktops are benefits of significant energy savings, desktop capability matched to the user's needs, versatility to use labs for any academic discipline, depending on the virtual desktops being accessed and flexibility to upgrade processing capabilities without requiring desktop hardware refresh.

VINCI has been organising the Innovation Awards Competition every two years since 1995. The competition invites the Group's 180,000 employees working in almost 100 countries to share their innovations with the aim of capitalising on them and facilitating their dissemination. Eleven "regions" compete against each other: seven in France (Nord, West, South-West, South-East, Rhône-Alpes, East, Paris Region), three outside France (Northern Europe, Central Europe, International Region) and one at central level (Central Activities).
Employees enter their innovations in one of five categories: Materials, Processes and Techniques, Marketing and Services, Equipment and Tools, Management and Dissemination. All these innovations illustrate a state of mind that enables VINCI to continue progressing in terms of quality, safety, shortening deadlines and environmental protection. Since 2009, the juries also award a Dissemination Prize to reward prize-winning innovations from previous competitions that have been most widely disseminated across the Group.

Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, ``hate'' is a strong word that's usually meant to provoke a negative response, which is why it's so troubling when a decades-old, multibillion-dollar activist organization uses its power to smear other organizations with the label ``hate group.'' But that's exactly what the Southern Poverty Law Center does.
On its Web site, you'll find a hate map pinpointing groups like the American Family Association and the Family Research Council. The Southern Poverty Law Center does not agree with AFA or FRC on traditional marriage. And that's appropriate; that's their choice; that's their right. But rather than supporting the First Amendment rights of those groups to express their deeply held moral beliefs, SPLC brands them right alongside organizations that promote race-based violence.
Last week, a man was sentenced to 25 years in jail after he found the Family Research Council headquarters on SPLC's hate map and went there with a gun, hoping to kill as many FRC employees as possible.
Words do have consequences. It's time the Southern Poverty Law Center stop using whatever influence it has left to incite hatred towards people of faith.

Community values die as data age grows
Copyright 2013
By ANDREW LEIBENGUTH
The data age, despite its many benefits to society, has become an increasingly greater distraction towards the needs and growth of populace communities - and organizations that foster to them.
How many hours do you spend a week with your computer or hand-held device? Now, more than ever, people are spending more and more of their available time browsing the Internet, texting or using social media sites. The time people spend on the Internet (whether it be on a personal computer, laptop, television, tablet or cell phone) can steal desperately needed time, manpower and funding away from social and community-minded organizations which habitually help to build and preserve community values. Users should spend more time getting involved or supporting their community; whether it be with a church, club, group, lodge, order, society, post, detachment, chapter or so on.
According to MediaBistro.com, users are spending more than one fifth (22 percent) of their time engaging on sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. It adds that the global online Internet population now exceeds two billion, with the average U.S. Internet user spending 32 hours online each and every month. A total of 3,995,444 million years worth of time are spent online globally every month. Imagine if these users donated only 1 percent of that time to their community. That would come out to just under 40,000 million years of community time a month.
Don't get me wrong. I, of all people, love and utilize the Internet on a daily basis. I regularly use it to communicate events and fundraisers, even finding time to create and routinely update a community website.
Everywhere you turn, you see an organization asking for membership or raising funds for a worthy cause. Still, a rising number of area organizations, some over 100 years old, remain on the edge of existence, not knowing if they'll be able to stay together another year. In hopes of surviving, some organizations have opted to "get with the times" by passing on information about their events and programs via the Internet. Sadly, these few communication and organizational benefits don't outweigh the increased lack of active memberships, community participation and support.
Before the Internet, the primary means of keeping busy either involved watching television, listening to the radio or participating in a community or organizational event. Now, the data age has given us even more forms of immediate entertainment and high tech distractions, to include entertainment devices, electronic gadgets, state-of-the-art toys and communication devices.
The budding lack of manpower means many clubs and organizations around our area are operating on an active member skeleton crew, with a decreasing amount of people able or willing to push forth with the organization's mission.
Younger generations, who are expected to be the future of these organizations, have never been exposed to the efforts and benefits of these organizations and are only concerned about items relating to them, their electronic devices and, of course, their friends on social media websites. They also wouldn't understand how a specific organization's disappearance over time would impact them and the local community. In addition to providing community members routine event venues to socialize and share their thoughts, mission-oriented organizations routinely help promote social interaction and greater things within our society. The mission and events of these social or community-minded organizations encourage and share community interaction, kind-doings, area pride, family values and simple public know-how.
Many Americans, rather than interacting with their community, live most of their lives online, opting to do practically everything online, such as playing games, socializing or making friends.
People don't have to avoid going online completely. That wouldn't make sense. Although they should understand that there are other more rewarding things they can do with their time.
In addition, spending too much time online could negatively affect their life, as well as their family's. They also need to realize that if they'd rather sit at a desk instead of going outside or getting some exercise, then their health is also at risk.
Limiting the time you spend online is beneficial to your social and physical health, as well as the wellness and growth of your community.
Don't be a cyber potato - get up, have fun, and make a difference.

Water in India: Spiritual and Technical Aspects
- K. N. Sharma
The subject of water has been treated spiritually, philosophically, cosmologically, medically, and poetically in the ancient Indian literature comprising the Veda(s), Brāhmaṇa(s), Upaniṣad(s), Purāṇa(s), and Smṛti(s). Water is regarded as the primordial substance from which the universe came into being. Water occupies the highest place amongst the five basic elements of nature, called pañcamahābhūta. These are: ākāśa (ether, substratum, space), vāyu (air), teja or agni (radiation, energy, or fire), āpa (water), and pṛthivī (Earth). These five bhūta constitute the physical universe. Air is said to have been generated from space, fire from space, water from fire, and earth from water. Fire and water, which are said to pervade the entire universe, have a close nexus and are believed to possess procreative powers (Narayana, 1995). The tripartite nature of agni has been connected with the three forms of water – celestial, atmospheric, and terrestrial, called by different synonyms in Sanskri ...

chicken on the bone.....
i'm really amazed when i roast chicken pieces or a whole roast chicken at how much meat people leave on the bone.... i feel like the poor chicken is looking down from heaven thinking that it lost it's life for nothing. i don't know, i'm a bone person.... rib eye with the bone, centercut pork chops with the bone, maybe it's not polite in certain circles to pick up the bone and chew ... but man, people are really missing the flavor.
are you a bone person or not?

'Making Spirals' printed from http://nrich.maths.org/
Show menu
Making Spirals
There are lots of different spirals and lots of different ways of creating them.
Here are two different ways.
Try them out and see whether you can create some more of your own.
Here is a link to another NRICH activity with instructions to create
Archimedes' Spiral
And now for another one: a Golden or Fibonacci Spiral.
Here are the instructions:
Take a piece of A$4$ squared or graph paper. The best one to use is one that is divided into 5mm squares. Put the paper on your desk so that its longest side is horizontal.
Start by drawing a square with a side of one about $10$ squares up from the bottom edge of the paper and $15$ squares in from the right hand side.
Draw another square with a side of one above it.
Now draw a square of side two to the right of your first two squares and then a square of side $3$ above that.
You can now start to draw your spiral.
Each square has a quarter of a circle in it which joins one corner of the square to its opposite corner.
Can you see where to draw your next square and curve?
The sizes of your squares follow the Fibonacci sequence: $1$, $1$,$2$, $3$, $5$, $8$, $13$, $21$, $34$. Can you see why? You will run out of space on your paper when you get to $21$ or $34$ - it just depends on exactly where you positioned your first square on the paper.
What do you notice about these spirals? Are they similar?
These two spirals are made by starting in the centre and building outwards.
Can you create any more rules for making your own spirals?
Why do this problem?
This problem
provides opportunities for children to develop their drawing skills and to learn to follow detailed instructions. It also offer opportunities to explore a number of different ways of creating spirals.
Possible approach
For a whole class activity you could ask different groups to work on creating the different spirals and compare their results. Group collaboration and discussion will help them to make sense of the instructions and to follow them accurately. During the holidays investigating and spotting spirals might be a family project as you travel around or explore the internet for images and information.
Key questions
Where should you start?
What do you need to do next?
Have you counted/measured accurately?
Possible extension
Children could take photographs of spirals they notice in their surroundings and compare these with the ones they have created. They could investigate rules for making spirals. The analysis of spirals and their equations takes you into some pretty tricky mathematics that is likely to be beyond most children at this level but even looking at the equations can be interesting.
Possible support
It would be possible to create some supporting resources such as sheets with the squares started on them. Children could then engage with creating images and spotting similar spirals around them or in pictures.

" Brand: Organic Root / Type: Hair Shampoo / What it does: Lifts, Stimulates / Quality Standard: Organic "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I think its very rare if someone doesn't have an opinion about how their hair looks, its condition, what they are happy and unhappy about it. Its something most of us have and it's a necessary evil that we all try to look after our hair in one way or another. I purchased this product from an afro Caribbean store for £4.49 for a 266ml bottle.
Why did I buy it?
I was looking for a shampoo that would give my hair a good clean and help get rid of dryness on my scalp.
What is my hair type?
I am someone who you would probably say has a mixed heritage background- I have a very multi cultural background, but would classify my hair type as being typical afro Caribbean. Very small and tight curls, hair and scalp get dry very easily and quickly if its not regularly dressed with some form of oil or grease. Can be brittle and easy to break off. Shoulder length.
How is it packaged?
It comes in a 266ml plastic bottle with a top that needs to be pressed in on the side to expose a hole so you can pour or squeeze product out. The bottle itself is a mint green colour and the label is mostly a creamy yellow colour.
On the front right at the top is the brand name 'Organic Root Stimulator. Directly underneath the product name which is ' Uplifting Shampoo ' and underneath that it tells you what the product is supposed to do.
On the back it lets you know what product is supposed to do and who its suitable for, ingredients, application, general warnings and company contact details.
It says product has a 12 month shelf life when opened.
Aqua, Sodium Lauryl sulphate, Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine Propniate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Lauramide DEA, Glycol Disterarte, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamide-MES, Glycol Distearate, Laureth-10, Olealkonium Chloride, Disodium Dimethicone Copolyol, Menthol, Urtica Dioica ( Nettle ) extract, Equistum Arvense ( Horsetail ) extract, CapsicumAnnuum ( Paprika ) extract, Polyquaternium-10, Cetrimonium Cholride, DMDM Hydantion, Citric Acid, Fragrance ( Parfum ), Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamic Alchol
What is this product supposed to do?
Its supposed to gently lift flakes and remove excess oil, conditions the hair and detangles it and is supposed to soothe and stimulate scalp. On the packaging it does say that this product is suitable for all hair textures.
How to use
Apply a generous amount of the product to damp hair and work into a lather. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat shampoo, leaving on for 2 minutes to maximise treatment. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
How do I find it?
The product itself is similar in colour to the actual bottle, a very pale mint green. Its texture is thick but fluid enough to use, and glossy, very shiny. The smell is very strong , very much like tea tree oil , which I like.
I find that once Ive wet my hair and I apply the product to it, it lathers up very well and there is a lot of lather! To be fair it does suggest to use a generous amount which I do. Very cooling on the scalp and gave a slight tingling effect ( not a reaction type tingling just a mild mint type effect! ).
It was easy enough to apply the product on my hair, but despite using the product as suggested and applying it twice, my hair looked clean but I could still see dry flakes in my hair that had come away from my scalp but not completely from my hair! In the end I had to wash it a further 2 times just to ensure it looked clean. Once I had done that, my hair felt and looked quite clean and shiny and a touch more manageable. I followed it up with a conditioning treatment.
Ive never experienced this with other shampoo product but when the product got into my eyes it stung like hell! Not very pleasant. So if your in a rush ( like me ), having screaming children running around the house throwing dolls in the toilet and your trying to wash this product out of your hair, please wear something over the eyes as you'll really feel it if its gets in that area! ( saying that in joke-but not a bad idea! ).
Would I buy again? Probably not. I hate washing my hair. I feel like I have to gear up to do it because its such a chore. Shampoo, conditioner, treatment, hair oil, blow dry etc. So whatever products Im using on it, has to be effective in its job, easy and quick to use just to make the whole process a lot less of a pain in the bum. Having to wash my hair 4 times to do the job it suggests it does on the packaging in 2 washes doesn't wash well with me!

Aviva Premiership
Flood injury not serious
ESPN Staff
June 27, 2012
Fly-half Toby Flood limped out of England's third Test clash with South Africa in Port Elizabeth © PA Photos
Leicester Tigers fly-half Toby Flood is expected to be fully fit for the start of the new Aviva Premiership season despite limping out of England's tour of South Africa.
Flood was forced out of England's 14-all draw with the Springboks last Saturday after just 13 minutes with a knee injury. It was just the latest setback for the 26-year-old who missed the Tigers' Premiership run-in, including their final defeat to Harlequins, with ankle and groin injuries but it has since been confirmed he suffered no more than a bang to the knee in what was his 50th international appearance.
The bulk of the Leicester squad began their pre-season work earlier this week and Flood, along with the club's other international stars, are poised to join them next month after an extended break. Flood's international team-mate Tom Croft is not expected back until October as he continues his rehabilitation from neck surgery while England scrum-half Ben Youngs is also set to miss the start of the season having gone under the knife for a shoulder injury that brought a premature end to his tour.
Tigers boss Richard Cockerill, who will also welcome six new faces to the squad in the form of Miles Benjamin, Vereniki Goneva, Adam Thompsone, Robert Andrew, Matt Cornwell and Dan Bowden, is hopeful that with no Rugby World Cup over-shadowing the start of the season, that his big names will see more game time.
"Last season, our first-choice midfield of Toby Flood, Anthony Allen and Manu Tuilagi played together just six times and we won five of those six," he told the Leicester Mercury. "In the second row, probably our strongest pairing of Geoff Parling and Louis Deacon played together twice. And in the final, we were without Tom Croft, Deacon, Jordan Crane and Flood.
"They are not excuses as to why we lost the final because we just weren't good enough on the day. But over the course of the season, we hardly saw our best combinations in certain positions and that inevitably affects continuity."

The Better Business Bureau issued a warning earlier this week for schools and small businesses to be aware of an office supply scam.
"It looks like Northeast Mississippi schools are on this company's list," said John O'Hara, Mississippi Better Business Bureau CEO. "Office supply scams are on the rise and it's time for retailers to put extra precautions in place to avoid getting taken by these unscrupulous salesmen."
The scam first appeared in the area on June 2. A principal informed the BBB she was contacted by a Supply Services company in Texas. The company claimed to be going out of business and was offering deep discounts on school supplies. After hearing the prices being offered, the principal agreed to buy some items in effort to save money for the school.
"A week later, 10 boxes of supplies showed up with an invoice of over $7,500," said O'Hara. "The consumer thought she had bought about $250 worth of items and contacted the company to send back what she did not order."
The company offered to take back some of the items, but informed the consumer of a restocking fee of 15 percent would apply plus another $300 in shipping. The total cost of the return was $1,200.
"The BBB report on the business shows similar complaints and the company currently has an "F" rating," added O'Hara. "This type of scam generally involves deceptive selling tactics of office supply goods used by most businesses such as toner, paper, credit card terminal supplies and even advertising."
Small business owners are advised to protect their business from paying for unsolicited or unordered goods and services. Some tips offered by the BBB include:
• Train the staff. Advise employees who are not authorized to order supplies and services to refer any such sales people to the purchasing department.
• The purchasing department should be instructed not to respond verbally to unsolicited phone offers for office supplies. Require all sales pitches be made in writing.
• Do not deal with unknown sellers without first verifying the reliability and complaint history of the seller's business with the BBB.
• Institute strict purchasing and accounting controls. Every purchase should be documented by issuing a purchase order to the supplier with an authorized signature and a purchase order number. The handling of invoices, etc. should be centralized and authorization closely checked.
• Keep a list of regularly used vendors. This will help protect businesses against schemers who claim a company previously used their services.

Me and My Money: Marty Morrissey
How else would I spend my first pay packet but on a silver 'babe magnet' that didn't impress
GAA PRESENTER Marty Morrissey admits that his first experience of spending his pay packet was not his finest hour.
"When I graduated from UCC, I went teaching in St Joseph's Spanish Point in west Clare and immediately got big notions about myself," he said.
"I had walked and cycled for years around college, but now that I had a few bob in my pocket, do you think a secondhand car or third-hand car would do me? Not a chance.
"Whatever remote hope I ever had with 'the babes' it had to be a brand-new sparkling four-wheeler for Marty.
"A real babe magnet was what I wanted so I bought a Silver Toyota Corolla from Tom Hogan Motors in Ennis with the fancy registration 88 RIE.
"It took years for me to pay off the damn loan and very few babes I met were impressed with my silver dream machine!
"When I moved from RTE Cork to TV Sport in Dublin back in 1994, I bought a beautiful two-bedroom bungalow in an estate called Pier View in Wicklow town.
"It was all I could afford at £38,000. The Celtic Tiger arrived, so I sold up, bought another house in Wicklow and then I bought an apartment in Rathfarnham."
This investment has been his best buy, he says.
"My SSIA has done well too but I'm afraid to even go near it in case I go mad and spend it on something foolish like another silver bullet 88 RIE."

Having accepted the blame for causing the longest kick-off delay in recent memory, the Ticketmaster agency last night apologised to the fans left stranded in huge queues outside Villa Park before Wednesday night's Worthington Cup quarter-final.
The kick-off was put back 80 minutes after Aston Villa and Liverpool supporters had to collect more than 4,000 pre-paid tickets shortly before the scheduled 7.45pm start.
Normally Villa set a maximum of 1,200 such tickets bought via Ticketmaster but the number was quadrupled on Wednesday because of worries over possible delays caused by the Christmas post.
"We sold 5,000 tickets for the match in seven days," said Peter Jackson, Ticketmaster's managing director. "Due to the Christmas posting times, 4,000 tickets were for collection on the night. Supporters were asked to arrive as early as possible but, with the rush-hour traffic and road works, they did not arrive until 7.30pm through no fault of their own.
"Ticketmaster and Aston Villa put on extra staff to handle the collections but the massive queues meant the match was quite rightly delayed for safety reasons. We apologise to the club and the supporters for the delays that occurred."
Villa conducted their own investigation and concluded that three factors, including the decision not to commit 4,000 tickets to the vagaries of the post, had been responsible. That decision, however, was justified by 750 Liverpool supporters not receiving tickets posted on Monday.
"We had to issue duplicates for all those as well," said Mark Ansell, Villa's deputy chief executive. "But the fact that that situation was caused by postal delays suggests Ticketmaster got it right."
Ansell also cited the publication of a later kick-off time by some sections of the media as a contributory cause, but Villa fans were in unforgiving mood, particularly after their side lost 4-3 to an injury-time goal.
"It's all well and good Ticketmaster accepting the blame but they are employed by Villa and the buck should stop with them," said Richard Guy, a London-based Villa fan.
"I had to queue for an hour and 10 minutes for my tickets and for the first 45 minutes it was fairly good-humoured. Then it sounded as though the game had started and the mood changed. People started pushing and shoving but fortunately - and more by luck than judgment because there were not many safety barriers - no one was hurt."
Guy, who travelled to the match by car, saw the whole game but some Liverpool fans were not so fortunate: with the last train to Lime Street leaving Birmingham at 22.15pm many left before half-time.
Buck Chinn, the chairman of the Aston Villa Shareholders Association, said the fiasco had done little for the club's image. "It's shown the club up to be completely incompetent and out-of-date," he said. "This was the way football used to be in the 40s; I half expected Laurel and Hardy to be providing the half-time entertainment."
This fine mess also meant fans in remote areas of the country were unable to read about the match in the morn ing papers because the game started too late for reports to be included in first editions.
The ill-wind, however, blew Sky TV plenty of good: rather than viewers switching off, the delay created extra interest.
"The delayed kick-off meant we had to move a couple of programmes but that was not a problem because we've five sports channels," said a spokesman.
"We won't be able to establish the exact viewing figures for a week or so but we found our audience increasing as the situation unfolded. I think people enjoyed our pre-match coverage plus there was also the curiousity factor. Then, when the game finally got under away, it provided cracking entertainment."
Sky do not anticipate complaints from advertisers feeling they were short-changed by the rescheduled kick-off time and Villa are unlikely to incur any financial penalties because of the problems.
"We will be asking for a report into why it was delayed but there is unlikely to be a formal investigation," said a spokesman for the Football League, the competition's organisers.
"Our concern would have been far greater if the match had been called off. The reasons for the delay are pretty clear and certainly all clubs should learn from what went wrong and act accordingly to make sure a similar incident does not happen again."
That will be foremost in Villa's minds, after doubts about the club's ability to stage major cup fixtures were raised for the second time in less than 12 months.
Wednesday's events followed Villa's FA Cup tie against Manchester United in January, which was marred by pitch invasions.
And, as a regular venue for FA Cup semi-finals and a host for an England international following Wembley's closure, the club can ill-afford such incidents.
"It was very embarrassing," admitted the Villa chairman, Doug Ellis, "but the buck stops with me."

The Apex Series 2014 eSports FGC tournament has officially opened up registration. Core fighting game fans are encouraged to sign-up now and participate in the tournament where there's a chance to walk away with some sweet cash prizes and an ego full of good tidings.
The tournament organizers sent out word along with a couple of neat updates about the Apex 2014 showdown, including that the tournament will be sponsored by Plantronics, the product manufacturer who we recently worked with to give away their new prototype headset that hasn't even launched yet, the RIG headset.
Plantronics wants to get in on the eSports scene to show their support and open gamers up to the high quality gear they have available to suit your audible gaming needs.
Anyway, getting back to Apex – the tournament will feature all the latest and greatest fighting games, including singles and tag Super Smash Bros bouts (and it would be cool if they had tag-team titles at EVO for Smash Bros.), as well as support for the Super Smash Bros. Project M rendition, which is usually used for tournament purposes anyway. Everyone's favorite Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom will be on hand along with Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, one of my personal favorites King of Fighters XIII, Namco Bandai's Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Injustice: Gods Among Us.
In addition to standard fighting games that everyone is expecting to see on hand are also a series of side-events that will also be held at the Apex Series 2014 event as well when it takes place in January next year in New Jersey.
Pokemon X & Y, the highly popular game for the Nintendo 3DS, will be one of the headlining side-events at the tournament, along with Reverge Labs' Skullgirls, Shin-Megami's Persona 4, BlazBlue, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat and Arc System Works' Guilty Gear: Accent Core +R.
You will, of course, need to register for the games you're planning on participating in, hence why registration has opened up early. Already, if you check the site you'll see that slots are filling up fast as gamers the world around will want to show up at the event and prove to everyone just how big a gamer they are and how legit their skills are.
With the advent of eSports breaking the niche corners of the market and aiming to find a place in mainstream gaming and entertainment, it's nice to see events like Apex Series stepping onto the scene and stepping up. The support they're receiving from Plantronics is also nice, especially given that they also announced that select participants will be able to win free wireless headsets for participating, with the press release noting...
The breakthrough audio technology company is offering multiple GameCom X95wireless headsets as a bonus for select tournament contestants. With prize bonuses of this caliber, Apex 2014 strives to build upon its never-ending goal to deliver a top-tier competitive experience for gamers from all over the world.
If you think you have ovaries of steel or gonads of titanium, you can try your hand at the Apex Series 2014 tournament by registering over on the official website. Register now before November 10th otherwise you'll be looking at higher prices and stiffer competition.

SC Theatre Department to Present "Rent"
The Southwestern College theatre department will perform the Tony Award-winning rock musical "Rent" Thursday through Saturday, April 10-12, at 7:30 p.m. in the Richardson Performing Arts Center. The show contains adult language and themes.
"Rent" is a rock musical with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson based on Giacomo Puccini's opera "La Bohème." It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York City's Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
"Rent" is directed by Allyson Moon with musical direction by Matthew Berthot.
"We all need to love and be loved, we need outlets to express ourselves, and, on the most basic level, we need to be feel safe and secure," Moon says. "Those needs drive the action for every character in 'Rent.' From Mimi's song on the streets of Alphabet City, 'Out Tonight,' to Roger and Mark's comment on our commercial society, 'You Are What You Own,' to the entire cast's passionate plea for life in the title song, 'Rent,' and raucous celebration of it in 'Le Vie Boheme,' Jonathan Larson's passionately pulsing score drives home each message."
"You only have one life; you only get one chance, so live to the fullest. This is the message Jonathan Larson portrays so well in this story," says actor Jordon Snow, who plays Roger in the production. "Through song, dialogue, and dance, the character's stories are revealed as you go on a year-long journey with each one of them. In the world Larson wrote about, it was necessary that these characters get to express themselves freely. Because of this, there is some adult content and language in the show; however, it is necessarily used in order to convey the message in an effective way."
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. For more information about the show or for tickets, call (620) 229-7720 or (620) 229-6272. Information is also available on the Southwestern theatre webpage, www.sckans.edu/theatre.

Hikers find dog missing in woods for 22 days
ALBANY, Ore. - A family out for a hike found a dog missing more than 3 weeks in the woods.
The hikers found the weak and hungry Bullmastiff in steep terrain along the South Santiam River on Saturday.
They hiked out to call the sheriff's office around 7:45 p.m., then hiked back to stay with the dog.
The sheriff's office responded, concerned there might be a lost hiker, too.
But a deputy involved with the call remembered seeing a lost dog poster in the area. The poster described a 10-year-old Bullmastiff named Madison, who was lost in the area of Sevenmile Horse Camp on July 4.
At about midnight, a team of Linn County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue volunteers deployed to the area to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the family.
The rescuers made contact with the family at about 3 a.m.
The dog, after snacking on granola bars and dog food, was sleeping comfortably in a sleeping bag provided by the family.
The team decided that due to the difficult terrain they would wait until daylight to attempt the rescue of Madison.
At about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the group began the process of helping the dog out.
This included a climb up over and back down a steep rock face and several hundred yards of travel in the creek.
At one point, Madison had to swim as the group traversed in waist deep water.
Using GPS, the team was able to identify a route from the creek uphill to the Santiam Wagon Road, a hiking trail that led back to the main road.
At 9:45 a.m., Madison was reunited after 22 days with her owners, Lori Davis and Patrick Milligan from Scio, the sheriff's office said.

I had a fine holiday break and I thought I would start the new year with a series of playlists dedicated to big cats. Some of you know that I'm not a fan of domestic cats. Let's just say I'm a dog person. However, I'm fascinated by big cats. All of them. But no big cat is more impressive than the mighty lion. Not only is the lion the king beasts, and Apple's most recent Mac operating system, he's also a symbol for strength, royalty, masculinity, power, danger and sexual prowess. So it makes sense that many bands have named themselves after the king of the jungle.
For this playlist I've selected 10 bands that have named themselves after the lion. I will leave it up to you to decide if these artists are deserving of the name.
Please let me know who I've left out and what "big cat" lists I should do next.
Lion Bands
1. Discretion - Pedro The Lion
2. Wait - White Lion
3. Wild International - One Day As A Lion
4. Transformers (Theme) - Lion
5. Take It Easy - Mad Lion
6. Disaster On the Freeway - Lion Thief
7. Let Down - Pedro The Lion
8. Rise (feat. King Dylan) - Iron Lion
9. Rise Up - Red Lion
10. Up 2 Us - Whispering Lion

Falling to the Dark Side by artbytravisWatch
©2008-2017 artbytravis
This is a friend's character in our long-running Star Wars campaign. Lyder was a Jedi who was being seduced to the Dark Side, though he eventually overcame the temptations. The struggle, however, cost him his relationship with his lover, Narruna (my character). It was quite tragic.
Reminds me of Kyp Durron
All I have seen of this work has left me impressed. From the flowing of his ebony cloak, to his solemn expression, and to the highlights of his lightsaber and the eerie glare of his "Sith eyes," everything is well-done. To be blunt, I envy that skill you have. I am not particularly digital-art savvy...
Interesting. I have my Miraluka going through the struggle and seduction of the dark side right now as she faces emotions of love and heart break. And yes still using your Miraluka piece as her avatar. She's been on quite a few adventures.
Yellow and black suit. Suddenly I remember Bruce Lee and Uma Thurman
He does remind me of Luke.
Oh Lyder. You emotionally charged bastard you. *smacks him*
Dude, I'm totally using this for a model for my character in a Star Wars game this fall. This dude looks like a bad ass.
Once again his clothes are superbly done, as is the intensity of his glare.
Gorgeous job on the posing and the lighting. And the emotion in the face, too.
He LOST his lover going to the Dark Side? Usually getting a lover causes the fall...
He LOST his lover going to the Dark Side? Usually getting a lover causes the fall...
Thanks for the nice feedback! Actually, you're right...the first two times he dabbled in the Dark Side of the force it was to rescue Narruna. After that he couldn't stop. Of course, I have a hunch you weren't necessarily referring to Star Wars exclusively...haha.
Well... maybe not exclusively... but I suppose Star Wars is enough of an obsessionin my mind that it's involved in everything I do.
Awesome work
Cool - nice saber.
nice job... i agree with the post above also.
looks good, but id blur a bit the edges of the character so it doesnt look pasted in the background

Khary Durgans ft. Fresh Daily - The Yellow Raincoat Pt. 3
Back in June, Khary Durgans lit the fuse on a monthly series dedicated to his signature article of clothing with The Yellow Raincoat Pt. 5. (For some reason, he decided to liberate the tracks in reverse order.) We missed July's entry, but we're jumping back on the bandwagon for the latest installment—which is third, regardless of which way you're counting. To back his quirky bars, the Rhode Island representative jacks another Proflogik instrumental off Soundcloud. (Don't worry, though; the beatsmith is cool with it.) Not glimpsed in the Booth since 2012's Submarine Bass Face, B.K. repper Fresh Daily resurfaces on the final verse. Feeling it? Then stay tuned for future standouts in the Yellow Raincoat saga. Fans who want to look just like Durgan can also purchase a raincoat of their very own from the artist's official site.

Retaining Key Talent Through Succession Planning
So, what can you do to keep employees satisfied when you have limited financial resources? One useful strategy is succession planning. Letting people know theyre being groomed for advancement can reinforce their value to your firm and boost loyalty. At the same time, youre ensuring your team has the personnel in place for key management roles should they become available due to retirement, turnover and other factors.
Identify the right individuals
Start the process by noting the characteristics necessary in candidates for senior-level positions. Your list should include not only the requisite technical skills but, more important, the interpersonal abilities that an ideal candidate should possess, such as the ability to motivate others and build consensus.
You may be surprised at how your list of potential successors narrows as you undergo this exercise. The most obvious choices your highest-ranking direct reports, for example dont always have the appropriate skill sets. Someone may be the go-to person on network security issues, for instance, but lack the tact and diplomacy to negotiate resource allocations with executive management.
Keep in mind that some abilities can be learned, while others cannot. Someone who isnt known for thriving under pressure may not be able to adjust to the daily stress of a high-level management position.
Be clear about the requirements of the change
Once youve made your selections, let protégés know your intentions to gauge their interest in assuming higher-level positions. Each person will likely have questions about the responsibilities of the new role, time commitment involved and the impact the change will have on their personal life, for instance. Be honest about the demands of the position but, if someone seems hesitant, also do your best to explain why an upward move would be beneficial to them and the firm.
In addition, be clear about the potential transition time. If a manager wont be retiring for several more years, let the successor know. At the same time, dont delay with training. The unexpected can come up, and you may need the person to make the job change earlier than expected. Protégés also can play valuable roles as substitutes when senior managers are out of the office for an extended period of time.
Help them develop new skills
Chances are, an IT professional will require at least some training before being prepared to assume a senior-level position. Begin by including designated successors in key meetings and discussions. You want to give them plenty of opportunity to observe the roles and make sure they are well prepared to assume them. In addition, these interactions allow successors to start building key relationships within the firm and get a feel for the thought processes, discussions and judgments that come into play at higher levels.Youll also want to give someone in line for a top management position additional opportunities to spearhead high-profile projects as a means of gaining visibility and honing leadership skills. And consider classes or seminars that would benefit the individuals development. For instance, a future CTO might need to attend a seminar to better understand the intricacies of a new technology.
Pairing a high-potential employee with a person already in a senior role through a mentorship will ensure the protégé receives first-hand advice and guidance from someone who has walked the same path in the past.
As training progresses, make sure protégés are given plenty of feedback. They should have measurable goals, such as leading a key IT project or completing a course in public speaking by a particular deadline. You may want to consider offering small financial rewards, if appropriate, or other incentives to keep their motivation high.
Succession planning shows all employees that if they work hard, they have a chance of being promoted, which can have widespread benefits in retaining staff. Meanwhile, youre ensuring you have the next generation of leadership ready when needed in your group. Thats a win-win strategy for any company.

There seems to be a misunderstanding here: readFile in itself is not the solution. readFile is defined thus: readFile name = openFile name ReadMode >>= hGetContents and the original code was this: load fn = do handle <- IO.openFile fn IO.ReadMode contents <- IO.hGetContents handle IO.hClose handle return $ XP.xmlParse fn contents Sure, you can replace the openFile/hGetContents pair by readFile, but the real problem is the presence of the hClose. Removing that will solve your problem (but note that you now have no control over when the file is actually closed). Cheers, Simon
