This page is for doing calendar conversions. Some of the calendars included are our modern Gregorian, the old Julian (or Old Style), the Mayan and the Julian Day Number which astronomers use. These are all briefly described in the F.A.Q. page. Others are the Venus and Mercury calendars, and Enoch Calendar, which have been described in my articles. If you only see text on this page, chances are that you do not have java enabled, which is required for it to work. It probably won't run on smart phones; hopefully an app will be created which can.
To use the conversion, select the calendar desired and click on "Create Calendar". You can create up to twenty calendar boxes, which are all linked to each other, so that if a date is entered in any one, it changes according in all the others. Be beware of a bug, which is after a date is entered in a box, it won't close until the browser is closed! Then just enter the date desired in the appropriate calendar box, and it will automatically be converted to the other calendars.
The format choices for each calendar are shown in the format menu. Remember for the Gregorian to always enter the entire year. If you enter 14Oct97 you will get A.D. 97. (Some of us do ancient history calculations!) Dates may be entered in quarter-day accuracy by adding am, pm, am*, or pm* after the date. The stars (*) refer to when it is dark and the *'s are shining.
The LAST and NEXT buttons increment the date by the number of days entered in the "Increment" input box. Primary holy days are shown in red and secondary in blue.
The Mayan calendar right now is only in English, but other languages may be added in later versions (like Mayan and Aztec). You may enter a date in one of four ways:
Some other calendars allow the date to be entered, which will change all dates on the row according. For example, the Venus calendar and Julian Day calendars allow that.

Review for Destroy the Web by giygas73
Fun and Addicting Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This is a great game, tons of fun and it gets really addicting to destroy pages that annoy you.
Some suggestions:
-For some reason it is not working in FF 9, I am not sure if this is a bug on my end or if it is just not compatible. The button is just greyed out, eventhough it shows as being compatible in the addons menu
-There should be an option to enable the sound effects but not the music. I would love to hear the sound effects but not the music.
Great feedback
Thanks for your comments! We've wrote down your suggestion and bug report. We'll try to address them as soon as possible to get your 5 stars :)

Police Officer Carmelo Ortiz-Rivera was shot and killed while off-duty and at home in Juncos, Puerto Rico.
The officer had made several arrests, including high-powered figures involved in the underworld in this village. A car stopped outside his home and a man called out to him. When he went to see who it was, the man fired six shots, striking the officer three times. His family had been moved there for safety.
Officer Carmelo Ortiz-Rivera had served for seven months in the Puerto Rico Police Department, and was assigned to the Drugs and Narcotics Division of Caguas as an undercover agent. He is survived by his wife and four children.

This year, we got people talking about neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) and cancers.
The International NET Cancer Alliance (INCA) supplied branded paper coffee cups with NET Cancer Day facts which were supplied to cafes, offices and coffee morning hosts to help raise awareness of these diverse but little-known tumours.
What did we Talk About?
INCA and AMEND have prepared a list of key facts about NETs.
Facts include:
- Symptoms of NETs are often similar to more common conditions such as IBS, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure and migraines
- Misdiagnosis is common - on average, NET patients see 6 healthcare professionals over 12 visits before a correct diagnosis is achieved
- Some NETs run in families, either singly or in combinations of different types of NET (like in MEN)
What did we Do?
AMEND hosted information stands at Tunbridge Wells Hospital in Kent and at St Thomas's Hospital in London.
Several volunteers hosted awareness raising events at their workplaces or homes.
Three cafes in Tonbridge, Kent (nearby to the AMEND office) used the cups for their customers and were supplied with special tshirts, leaflets and posters. Thank you to the Bakehouse @ 124, Nancy's Tea Rooms, and FCB Artisan Coffee for their support on the day.
We regularly tweeted and posted about our NET Cancer Day activities on Facebook or Twitter

POLICE found cannabis with a potential street value of more than a quarter-of-a-million pounds during a house search.
Officers discovered the 25-kilo haul, which had been split into 93 "nine bars", during the raid at King Henry Court, Sunderland.
Prosecutor Gavin Doig told Newcastle Crown Court: "The total value, depending on how it was sold, was between £70,000 and £280,000."
Sean McKenna was in the house at the time, but did not live there.
The 39-year-old admitted he knew the drugs, which had been stashed in a rucksack, were in the house and had been tasked to hand them to the dealer who owned them if he came to the door.
Frank Conlin, 51, who lived in the house, was given a suspended 36-week prison sentence at an earlier court hearing.
He had admitted possession with intent to supply.
McKenna, a 39-year-old Nissan worker, pleaded guilty to the same charge.
Mr Doig said: "His basis of plea is both he and Mr Conlin were acting under some threat and were storing the drugs found in the house, rather than the drugs being their own.
"Conlin was storing them, McKenna was aware they were there. He was under instruction to hand it over if anyone arrived. The police did."
Judge Guy Whitburn sentenced McKenna, of Ravenswood Road, Red House, to 36 weeks' jail, suspended for two years.

Resist Me(7)By: Chelle Bliss
I snarled, moving my face away from his fingers. Rebel gripped my hair, yanking my head back and holding me in place.
"Where do you think you're going, Isabella?" He stared into my eyes, a smirk on his face.
My heart started pounding, growing louder by the second as it beat out of control. This was bad, a real fucking nightmare.
"I want her," Tommy said, slamming his hand down on the table. "You got the last piece of ass and this one's mine."
Rebel laughed, releasing my hair. "Want me to get her warmed up for you, brother?"
"I don't want your filthy hands on her. She looks too innocent and pure. I want to take that from her," Tommy replied, laughing with the rest of the guys, his eyes only on me.
"If you don't do it, Blue, I will," Rebel promised.
"Oh, I plan to do all of her, and she's going to like it."
Thank God the words were coming out of Tommy's mouth, because I'd be totally fucked otherwise. Sam released my shoulder. The fucker still hadn't said a word. He'd stood there like a fucking idiot and stayed silent.
"Don't I get a say?" I whispered, grinding my teeth. "I'm not a piece of property."
"Flash brought you here, darlin', and you came out of your own free will. If Blue wants you, he gets you," Rebel said, laughing like a hyena. "You can thank Flash later."
I turned to Sam as his eyes dropped to the floor. "Don't you have anything to say?" I hissed, the venom dripping from my voice.
He shook his head as he kicked an imaginary piece of dirt on the floor.
"Fucking pussy," I muttered before turning back to look at Thomas.
A small smirk played on his lips; he knew I could never hold my tongue.
Rebel slapped Sam, his laughter filling the air and mingling with the other guys'. "Even the girl can see you're a pussy, Flash," he teased, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
I would've pissed myself by now if it hadn't been my brother claiming me for the night. I had fucked up, and although Tommy might have smirked, I knew I was in big fucking trouble.
Chapter 2 - Clueless
"What in the fuck were you thinking?" Tommy screeched as he slammed the hotel room door and locked it.
"Clearly, I wasn't," I quipped as I sat on the bed, avoiding his eyes. Fuck. I looked at the ceiling, my stomach flopping around like I was about to be chastised by my dad.
"I know you do some dumb shit, Izzy, but this takes the motherfucking cake." He paced near the door, checking the peephole, as he ran his finger through his hair. "How in the hell do you get mixed up with an MC guy?" He stopped pacing, turned toward me, and tapped his foot.
I shrugged, not really having a good answer for him.
"A shrug. I get a goddamn shrug?" he groaned as he walked toward me. "Izzy, look at me," he barked.
I looked up into his piercing blue eyes and could see a storm behind them. My mouth suddenly felt dry and I was at a loss for words—something totally out of my realm of comfort.
"Thomas," I whined, trying to find the right thing to say.
"You are in over your head, Iz. This is some serious shit. If I hadn't been there tonight or if Rebel had decided that he wanted you for himself, you'd be fucked, and so would I." He rested his hands on either side of me and leaned into my space. "I mean that literally. This is a fucking nightmare."
I blinked slowly, taking in the sight of my very pissed-off brother, and sighed. "I just wanted to have fun, Thomas. I wasn't expecting all this bullshit." I swallowed and concentrated on breathing through my nose. Pissed-off Thomas was a scary fucking dude.
"All this bullshit?" he whispered. "All this bullshit is what comes with an MC. They make their own goddamn rules." He backed away, grabbing my hand as he sat next to me. "I have to keep you safe and get you the hell away from these guys." He pinched the bridge of his nose and exhaled loudly.
"I'm sorry," I choked out, tears forming in my eyes. "I thought Flash would protect me. He promised a weekend getaway." God, I sounded like a fucking idiot. Mike and Joe had warned me. They'd pleaded with me not to go, but as always, I did whatever the fuck I wanted to.
"Flash is a fucking pussy and a complete moron. I worried he'd recognize me, but he was too young to remember me. Plus, he's an idiot. Nice kid, but dumb as a box of rocks."
"Why are you still here, Tommy?" I inquired. He'd always be Tommy to me—my big brother who had been missing from my life for more years than I'd like to admit. "Why haven't you come home?"

£2,000 for a Chinese meal but Barclaycard won't accept it's fraud
While in Shanghai I was a victim of a fraud. Barclaycard refuses to acknowledge it is a fraud and holds me responsible for paying the full amount.
I was in the city on a business trip and wanted to experience an "authentic" Chinese restaurant. So I asked a taxi driver to take me and two colleagues to one he recommended. There was nothing unusual about the restaurant. We were put into a private room without asking for one, but this had happened in another restaurant without problems.
I had nothing to eat as I was suffering from an upset stomach and had only tea to drink. My colleagues had a few drinks, including whisky, and some food but not a huge amount. As I was feeling unwell and they wanted to move on, I said I would pay and so was left to get the bill.
When it arrived it was for an exorbitant amount – 19,960 Yuan (£2,009). I refused to pay, so the "manager" was called. He took the bill and came back with a second at 1,960 Yuan. I refused to pay this too. I was told that we were being charged for the use of a private room – 1,000 Yuan.
I still refused to pay and three, very threatening, men came into the room. I agreed to pay but refused to let them take my credit card out of the room.
They argued at first, but then appeared with the PIN machine. They said they had to take it away as there was no connection, but I refused to let them take it out of the room without me accompanying them. This they refused to do and became ever more threatening. So I gave in. I had developed a terrible headache and, coupled with my stomach problem, felt very ill indeed.
I got my card back with some sort of receipt which I did not check and left to go back to my hotel as I needed to go to bed. As soon as I woke I contacted Barclaycard on their emergency line to ask what had been charged to my account. I had a most unsatisfactory conversation with a representative. In essence he accused me of lying about what had happened. Before I phoned him I discovered my "receipt" was blank.
When you received your statement you saw a 19,960 Yuan (£1,934) debit. You reported this to Barclaycard as a fraud. It asked you to put your case in writing. This you did, but heard nothing back. The balance remained like an albatross.
You wrote three more letters but Barclaycard persisted in refuting the claim. It did say later that it tried to dispute the charge but the documentation showed you had entered your PIN for the amount and you could not prove it had been altered. It said it could not challenge it further.
When I looked into this I wondered why Barclaycard had not asked for witness statements from your colleagues. Barclaycard said going after evidence in this way would not be its usual practice.
You have been with Barclaycard for 35 years and this is quite outside your usual spending habits. You feel the company could have picked up on something so unusual. Barclaycard counters that it has around 12 million customers. Often purchases are made outside the normal pattern but this would not necessarily flag up that something was wrong. It has to balance the inconvenience of frustrating legitimate transactions with security.
I argued your case trenchantly. I observed that given the menacing environment, you had done what you could to protect the money. Your travel insurance is with Barclays. Had you taken a more aggressive stance, your safety could have been jeopardised. Then the "authentic" outing could have proved far more costly to the bank. Such arguments led to Barclaycard agreeing to refund all the £1,934 plus interest charges of £74. It says these payments are made on a goodwill basis with no admission of liability.
Your wife, Linda, said all this was wearing you down and the relief you feel now it is resolved means you are back to your usual self again. You say you cannot find adequate words to thank me.
Change of address delays £4,200 PPI compensation
I was mis-sold PPI (payment protection insurance) by Barclays Bank. Hearing nothing, and by then it was over 15 weeks since my first letter, I wrote asking for a progress report. They ignored this letter and so I tried to telephone, but I "failed security", presumably because they are operating on details which are almost three years out of date. It is now 21 weeks since my initial complaint.
The problem stems from the fact that your address was not updated after you moved three years ago. Although Barclays' initial acknowledgement letter went to your current address, the one it sent detailing the amount of redress and that you could expect the funds within 40 working days for this PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) claim went to your old address. The bank said that the acknowledgement letter should have contained a paragraph asking you to update the address at the local branch but the paragraph had been missed out.
My prompting led to the contact details being updated and a cheque for £4,178 being issued without further delay. This includes interest.
You'll have to travel 6 miles to the branch, bank tells 92 year-old
A fixed-rate bond with Santander matured and I filled in the form as directed and sent my passport for identification. I also had a letter from the operations manager confirming the application for the amount to be sent to my address. I have now been told that I cannot receive the cheque unless I visit a branch six miles away. I am 92 and housebound and need the money badly.
East Sussex
My involvement led to a cheque for £12,848, the amount at issue, being despatched by Royal Mail Special Delivery. To apologise, the bank separately sent £73.92 to cover lost interest and a £70 goodwill gesture. This shows how problems can be got around when a bank puts its mind to it.
My fund makes 0.5pc but the charges are 1pc
This is about a fund run by Clerical Medical which can only result in investors losing money as the cash fund is invested in Bank Rate securities producing 0.5pc but Clerical Medical makes a charge of 1pc. The fund is used to park funds when switching investments. I feel investors should be warned of this pitfall or better CM should change its charges while the Bank Rate is so low.
This is a phenomenon that needs to be watched out for by anyone with money in a cash, or similar, fund. With interest rates as low as they are, skimming profits off such sums in the form of management charges or whatever has become much more transparent than it used to be.
So, not only is such money being whittled away by inflation, but a higher percentage is being creamed off by some financial providers than the underlying sum is able to generate itself.
Clerical Medical, now under the Scottish Widows umbrella, admits that the returns on such cash investments have not been enough to fully offset the 1pc annual management fee. This has resulted in the unit price falling slightly.
I cannot change things for you, but at least I can fulfil your request to make others aware of this.

Grant To Help Work Accident Disabled Woman And Mom Get Decent Housing
by Nancy Cowens
(Flint, Michigan, USA)
I am a gal about to be 53, who shares a house with mom. Mom is a retired Navy Veteran, who served in the Korean War.
I have no kids, but Mom and I volunteer with them via Civil Air Patrol (CAP).
Mom and I are hoping to find a place that we can of course share, but perhaps more like a duplex, if at all possible.
We also hope to find a vehicle that we can both get around in together. We need to move in the worst way.
A neighbor has terrorized us for over five years, to the point of doing physical harm to us.
Law enforcement has been no help.
We just hope to find a nice, clean and decent house, perhaps just outside of the city.
We keep ourselves busy with all our volunteer work, and we also like to rescue stray cats.
Disability Issues
For me, it all started back in the 80s when I was working at a glass company.
I liked my job. I was on the road most of the time, making deliveries. But it was a lot of heavy lifting.
My back was weak from a car accident some years before, but everything was fine, or so I thought when I went to work at the glass company.
After about a year or so, I was having lots of back pain and assorted spinal issues, and another year later, I was having my first of two spinal fusions.
I went back to work when I was due and was told I didn't have a job anymore. I tried and tried for years to keep a good job, but my progressing spinal issues would not allow it.
Then other things started going wrong. I had another spinal fusion, cataract surgery, abdominal surgery and knee surgery. I became a full-blown diabetic and so on.
I've been cut from head to toe, both sides. When my doctor saw what was happening to me, he said, "You work no more."
From the age of about 36 to now, I cannot even count the number of surgeries I've had. I have no idea. Yes, that many.
I have extremely limited mobility, and typically use a walker or my wheelchair.
It's the same for Mom. She has extremely limited mobility and she uses a walker or her scooter.
Initially I was to have a Disability review at the end of the first three years, but when they saw how much worse I'd gotten, even just over those three years, I guess they decided I'm permanent.
The stress from being terrorized for over five years doesn't help.
I sure hope that a grant will help! We'd just like to see our way to a decent, clean, accessible, quiet home, and proper transportation.
Financial Hardship
Neither of us works. We try to keep busy doing volunteer work, but it's hard because we can't get out of the house on our own. And even if we did, we have no way to transport our devices.
We're pretty much trapped at home. We have no ramp, no van, no nothing.
We skimp on medications to make them stretch when we can't get to the pharmacy.
After we pay the rent and utilities, there's nothing left. Nothing.
All we ever wanted was privacy, not to be bullied, freedom to come and go as needed, and freedom to participate in everyday life.
Also, an accessible vehicle would allow us more time with our CAP family. Oh and to maybe rescue a few more cats, and help them find homes.
Income Efforts
Doctors will not allow us to work. We have been scammed twice with the work-at-home thing.
I get Disability; Mom gets SSI and a small amount from Veterans. But she does not qualify for a VA loan because of a foreclosure in CA some years ago.
My own credit issues are due to medical bills and student loans. I made an agreement about the student loans, so they should be excused soon.
We don't have a church, and our friends are in the same boat as us.
We have no family here, just each other.
I've been looking for a financial opportunity for some time, and grants seemed to be the way to go.
Specific Needs
Housing and transportation: We get benefits. We just need, not a handout, but more like a hand-up.
We are hoping to find a grant to give us that one last boost. If a lawyer can help us, we're certainly open to that.
Any direction or advice is also greatly appreciated.

Pros and cons of wind power
We talk you through the advantages and disadvantages of wind energy, so you can decide whether wind turbines are right for your home.
Wind energy is plentiful and renewable, and reduces carbon emissions when used instead of electricity generated from fossil fuels. Find out whether you can install a wind turbine.
Wind turbines produce electricity by harnessing the natural power of the wind to drive a generator.
Wind-derived electrical power comes from two main sources – domestic small-scale wind turbines installed by home owners (often called micro wind turbines), and industrial wind farms.
Read on to find out about the pros and cons of wind turbines and wind energy, and discover whether a wind turbine is suitable for your home.
Home wind turbines
Home wind turbines are small turbines and there are two sorts - wind turbines that can fit on roofs, and those that are are mounted on a pole and can be placed, free-standing, in a garden or field.
- Building-mounted wind turbines can be installed on the roof of a house and generate around 1kW to 2kW.
- Pole-mounted wind turbines often generate about 5kW to 6kW.
The UK's largest study of domestic wind turbines, conducted by the Energy Saving Trust (EST) in 2009, found that very few areas of the UK are suitable for a home wind turbine.
If you'd like to produce your own electricity, solar panels may well be a better bet. Our guide to installing solar panels explains what types of homes are suitable and how much solar panels cost.
To see if your home is suitable for a wind turbine, the EST recommends you should first install an anemometer (wind gauge) and monitor it for at least three months to determine the average wind speed. According to the EST, a suitable site should have a minimum average wind speed of 6m/s (metres per second) – the vast majority of UK households have an average wind speed of less than this.
If your location is suitable for a wind turbine and you decide to go ahead and install one, you could earn money from it through the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme. Available since 1 April 2010, the FIT pays you for the electricity you generate, whether you use it at home or export it to the grid.
We've got more information in our dedicated section on home wind turbines.
Wind farms
Wind farms can be built either onshore or offshore.
According to wind and marine industry trade body RenewableUK, as of November 2016, the UK had more than 7,000 wind turbines. That's a capacity of about 38 million megawatt hours of electricity to be produced per year, equivalent to powering about 9.5 million homes.
In 2016, the UK for the first time generated more electricity from wind power than from burning coal. Scotland is home to a quarter of Europe's offshore wind turbines, although the London Array offshore wind farm, off the Kent coastline, is the largest in the world. It has 175 turbines capable of generating enough energy to power 500,000 UK homes.
Find out more about large-scale wind energy in our guide to wind farms.
Advantages of wind power
- Electricity generated by the wind does not emit CO2 or leave any waste. Wind is also an infinite resource that cannot be exhausted.
- A small home wind turbine – when installed properly and in the right location – can cut your reliance on traditional fossil fuel resources.
- If you install a home wind turbine, you can earn money through the Feed-in Tariff for every kilowatt of electricity you produce.
- Wind turbines rely on simple mechanical processes. Once the wind turbine is up and running, there are few running costs.
- Large-scale wind farms can be built at sea to exploit the UK's abundant off-shore wind flow without cluttering the landscape
Disadvantages of wind power
- The EST has concluded that fewer sites than previously thought are suitable for wind technology.
- Both small- and large-scale wind energy installations may require planning permission – contact your council before you start work.
- Wind turbine costs are high. A small 1kW roof-mounted turbine can cost up to £3,000.
- While domestic wind turbines require little maintenance, the inverter is likely to need replacing during the lifetime of the turbine, at a cost of £1,000 to £2,000.
- The amount of electricity generated is dependent on the speed and direction of the wind. The wind speed itself depends on a number of factors, such as location within the UK, height of the turbine and whether there are any nearby obstructions.
- Many people dislike the appearance and sound of wind turbines in the landscape, although noise pollution is less significant for micro-wind turbines.
- Anti-wind-farm groups argue that wind farms damage habitats and harm birds and marine ecology.
- Wind is an unpredictable energy source and requires the backup of more traditional and polluting methods of energy generation.

Hey MG, did you follow the Ten Crack Commandments?
I agree with Gin with the college thing, though. Drugs (especially weed) are much easier to get in college over high school and is more accepted, especially if you're living off campus. Not that it's that much different on campus, since there are no random drug searches. Room inspections occurs only twice a semester, and they tell you a week ahead of time. That's plenty of time to get any paraphernalia and the smell out. The RAs (residential assistants) don't really care either. For example, someone from another forum was talking about how a RA asked him for a bottled water. Forgetting that he had bag on weed on the top of the mini-fridge in plainview, he simply let the RA in. When he realized his mistake, he asked the RA if he was in trouble and the RA shrugged and said, "Only thing I saw was some chips". Granted, that's only one school, and private universites especially are probably more strict. . .

Hm, I've just read the first post and kind of felt like pitching in
I attend a private single-sex school so I don't see much of the social ladder, and also there's less of a gap between popular kids and the not-so-popular kids. Seeing that we're all girls and don't have guys to fight over in the school, there's not as much drama as there would be in a regular public school... It's rather calm and boring here, which I think is a good thing. There aren't any cliques and stuff like that either. The only thing that really stands out for me here is that Westerners only hang out with Westerners and Asians only hang out with Asians, most of the time. I myself am Asian but I'm in a group of mixed-race friends, which is pretty rare in this school.
As for drugs and stuff... I'm boarding at this school and I've heard some disturbing stuff that happened last year

Drug use isn't the entirety of student culture either (much less than many 'recreational users' might think). So lets not let it dominate the thread?

Man, so many stories, some of the most memorable events came from events arising from being in the 'business'. The bad far outweighed the good in the long run, wish I'd never even thought of it. btw Pot was never really that dangerous to deal. Heroin and crack were always pretty dicey. Never seen shots fired at pot deals. Thing was... the more money involved the more of a chance that one party would take the big risk to get both product and money. It kept you on your toes and was a rush.
I eventually ventured in other 'legitimate' activities (just lesser risks) after 10th grade like selling burned H-anime VCDs/DVDs (before bittorents got popular) to my classmates still ignorant of anime beyond pokemon/sailormoon/DBZ, selling football/basketball 'secrets' to another rival school, 'pleasure' toys to introverted girls (typically fat and emo), fake watches encrusted with 'bling' shit to my black customers (got them at JCK convention for real cheap).
After the 'bling' scene pretty much died (they won't take my 'price' anymore), I started getting into selling fine handbags made by Coach, Michael Kors, Dooney & Bourke and sold them to my female teachers and gay teachers afterschool. I can't believe i got into selling handbags... I thought they were really ghey... but that shit sells! Profit margins were through the roof!
By 12th grade i was doing 'business' 110% legit thanks to fine handbags and (later in college) jewelry

mg you mean to tell me you were pushing heavy shit and you never even lit up some green?
I'm going to second what others have stated; drugs are way more commonplace in college than high school. Also, some of you guys need to learn the difference between cannabis (used by pretty much any type of person you can imagine), and hard drugs like coke.

And when I was a teen it was exactly the same. it's no different no matter where you are (western world mostly).,
There are always the top and the bottom. School is just another form of well placed hierarchy. It's like this no matter where you go .
Edit: I want to add that you and me we like it or not do indeed contribute to this hierarchy pyramid. But I guess it just the way it is. I mean everything starts with people thinking they can't be friends with one other because of all kind of reasons. And we probably can't but lets blame our selfish nature for that.

Yeah, one could say there is an 'adderall epidemic' going on throughout US colleges, at least if my one is indicative of the rest. Actually I hope to partially remedy this myself (and profit off of it), I've already begun working on a drink marketed towards college students for cognitive enhancement using nootropics, B vitamins, and brain-healthy fatty acids. Personally I use a cocktail of nootropics and other mental boosting supplements to help me with finals and I've never needed to touch adderall. That shit scares me, I don't trust pharmaceuticals at all
Also, damn the AS population is easy to troll...

Test Drive
I went to a public high school, though according to my mother I was originally supposed to be homeschooled.
My memories of it are rather foggy (amazing how much it fades after only a few months!), but we were a rather diverse group. I don't recall any specific social ladder or cliques forming, mostly because no one was interested in that kind of thing anyway. Most of the time it was actually a pretty relaxed, calm place, and you could drift from group to group without much of a problem.
Though it definitely had its issues. We used to have quite a few fights, especially in my freshman year, and we had some gang violence and a major gun threat once. Kids also used to have a lot of sex in the corridors, at least before the cameras were installed. Drunk driving was a pretty big issue too, if I remember correctly.
But overall, I have rather nice memories of it.

The way I see it, student culture changes dramatically over time. In the beginning, in elementary school, a lot of student culture is based on who has the most power or who can establish the biggest territory. School is practically a game where you win popularity. It doesn't apply to every child, but that was what I experienced back in the day. It's not the same for girls from what I've seen. Taking example from my sister (and idk if it applies to everyone else), girls are there to just simply make friends and perhaps stir up a little drama on the side, but nowhere near as much as the boys do.
By the time you get to junior high, though, it gets a little more complicated because you start to understand more about the people around you. You could say you're not quite as introverted as you were in elementary school, but popularity is still really important and a lot of it is still a game. In the end, though, you're just trying to have fun. I was in a public school at this stage at first, but it was around this time that I moved to Saudi and went to a private school. But from what I experienced, there wasn't a great deal of difference between the two minus the fact that kids in the private school were much more disciplined and mature. What happened in elementary is carried over to the extreme when you enter a public junior high.
High School and college culture is a lot more simple. Sex, alcohol, fast food and money. That's what it's all about Tiers lose their importance because by this stage, most people are here for those four things and maybe studying. Maybe.

Then in middle school (which was in a different country), they chased after me in sexually provocative ways... unfortunately it was always the slightly grotesque specimens who did so, never the girls I fancied, so I spent a fair bit of time hiding in the toilet -_-. As for the girls I fancied, some of them turned out to be a bit mean.
In high school, I finally found myself free of overt enemies for the first time in my life. Aaah...

Maybe I'm going crazy, but does anyone sometimes feel that the rest of the community picks on you for looking like a student? I got a taste of bad karma today after I was forced to chase a bus for 300 metres because he didn't stop, and when I got to it he had already closed the doors and completely ignored the fact I wanted to get on that bus, and he knew I was there.
I don't know, maybe I am going crazy, or maybe I've turned invisible...

But the present thing usually works with bus drivers. I've had to move a lot in my past. I've gone to twelve schools in twelve years so I've had my far share of crazy bus drivers, so I'd advice trying that.

Roll Back the Massachusetts Sales Tax from 6.25% to 3%
The Roll Back Taxes ballot initiative ("Question 3″) campaign was the boldest tax cut measure in America in 2010. Despite a $4.5 million campaign by the Teachers Union to defeat it, and despite Massachusetts being among the biggest of Big Government states, nearly one million voters (43% of the vote) said Yes to rolling back the state sales tax from 6.25% to 3%.
For more bold, small government ideas and proposals, visit the web site of the initiative's sponsors: the Center For Small Government.
If Roll Back Taxes had passed, it would have:
- created 33,000 NEW Private Sector JOBS!
- given back an average of $688 – every year – to each taxpayer. Average of over $900 / family.
- forced state politicians to cut government waste.
- kept shoppers in Massachusetts– instead of driving them to New Hampshire's 0% sales tax.
- attracted shoppers from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont and New York – another boost for Massachusetts Retailers.
Four Massachusetts legislators were elected in 2010 (three newly elected, one incumbent) who pledged their support of rolling back the sales tax to 3%: Representatives Dan Webster (6th Plymouth), Ryan Fattman (18th Worcester), Steven Levy (4th Middlesex) and Geoff Diehl (7th Plymouth).Email to a Friend

Unfortunately this state is nearing disarray because of its government and its willingness to over spend budgets. Massachusetts acts and spends without consequences like an uninformed teenager (or adult) with credit access and limited resources to fully pay its debt in a timely manner.
As a side note, please do not also forget the $$$ Billions of Dollars this state receives from our Country's Government which has to be 100% spent each year (so we can line up for even more next year). Not only are we wasting our own taxpayer dollars (twice) but we're also helping to drive our nation further into debt because Massachusetts cannot manage the 2006 #9 wealthiest tax revenue per capita budget in the nation. We need to take a page or two out of our neighbor to the north on how-to-run-a-state textbook. New Hampshire is ranked 48th – they have SMALL government, excellent roadways, state resources and even if they amassed some debt, they could raise taxes and still be ranked in the 40′s.
Massachusetts is our state and we should take it back from the current government and stop creating more wasteful state jobs, eliminate pensions (like the rest of the business world) and build a state that can begin to prosper without the Beacon Hill anchor weighing it down.

From the 6 April 2017, there will be changes to the cost of some visa application fees:

International students should be aware of a scam where a person phones claiming to be from the Home Office and asking for money. Unfortunately, the majority of the cases are with Indian students and it is not solely a UK issue.
How to respond:
You can find further information on the government web pages.
17 March 2017
The government have published their statement of changes due to come into effect on the 6 April 2017. The following changes will affect LSE students:
The latest version of the Tier 4 Policy Guidance will be released on the 6 April 2017 and we will review this for any further changes which may affect LSE students.
13 March 2017
We have recently updated our guidance for EU/EEA students, which can be found on our Non-Tier 4 immigration options page. We strongly recommend that EU nationals read the information on Comprehensive Sickness Insurance as this is a requirement for students. The type of insurance you obtain depends on whether you plan to stay in the UK on a temporary basis or plan to apply for residency.
If you are unsure of your plans, we recommend that you consider obtaining Comprehensive Sickness Insurance rather than rely on EHIC. EHIC can only be used if you will be in the UK temporarily and may affect an application for permanent residence.
Up-to-date information can be found on the UKCISA web pages.
IMPORTANT: This does not relate to the US Federal loan scheme, but all other educational loans where the money will be padi directly to the the School.
If you are using an educational loan as evidence, which will be paid directly to the School, the UKVI have made a concession that these can be submitted as evidence. However, whilst you apply under the Tier 4 (General) route, you will be granted leave outside the rules. All of your Tier 4 conditions will be in place (working conditions etc.), but this concession will limit your ability to extend your visa in the UK and it is unclear whether it will count towards the cap on degree level study.
If possible, please try to avoid using a loan which is paid directly to the School as evidence, as this could affect your options in the UK.
This advice will change from the 6 April 2017 when these loans will be included in the rules.
9 November 2016
The Home Office released a statement of changes to the immigration rules on the 3 November 2016. The main changes affecting students will affect applications made on or after the 24 November 2016 and include:

As teenagers venture into their first relationships, they're often filled with hopes and dreams that could rival the most romantic movie. Some might be surprised to discover that their handsome boyfriend is actually quite manipulative. While parents cannot control who their children date, they can educate their teenagers about healthy relationships and encourage children to leave unhappy ones.
Signs of Manipulative Behavior
A manipulative partner shows many sides, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. A boyfriend might insult his girlfriend's family or friends in a bid to get her away from them. A girlfriend might threaten to hurt herself during an argument to keep a boyfriend from continuing the argument or from leaving her. Those behaviors are designed to make the victim feel pressured into choosing a course of action dictated by the other.
Causes of Manipulative Behavior
A teenager might resort to manipulative behavior for a variety of reasons, according to Kim Jones, a marriage and family therapist in San Diego. Teenagers might become manipulative if they feel they do not have control of anything else in their environment. A feeling of insecurity might underlie the manipulative teenager, who overcompensates by trying to control others. Some antisocial personality disorders might also cause manipulative behaviors.
How to Help a Teenager with a Manipulative Partner
Educate your teenager about healthy relationships, including the idea that it is never OK to hit someone or throw objects during a fight, according to KidsHealth, a child development site. Both teenagers should feel like empowered, equal partners in a relationship, and not as though a power imbalance exists, according to Lisa Brookes Kift, a family and marriage therapist at Marin Therapy and Counseling in California. Encourage your teenager to leave a manipulative partner. If your child does not want to leave, you might have to forbid him from seeing her, according to Michelle S. Barratt, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas-Houston Medical Center.
When Your Child is the Manipulative Partner
Your child might not even be aware that her behavior in her relationship is manipulative, according to Jones. A child might have adopted this behavior from watching her parents or seeing how other family members and friends treat their partners. A family therapist or counselor can help your child cope with the need to be in control and offer treatment for disorders that might cause your child to behave in a manipulative manner.

The yarn crawl really was fun. It was also a lot of female energy for one day, but I survived intact.
The busload of ladies generally agreed that Hill Country Weavers really is the best yarn store around. They have both variety and quality, and the prices are fair. My second-favorite on the tour was San Antonio's Yarnivore, whose owners included some eco-friendly fibers like maize, soy, and my very favorite, bamboo. Everything they had was interesting and of good quality.
Below is my loot:
Everything on the left is a freebie. I know what to do with precisely none of it, particularly the two gray-blue tribbles on top.
Thermal is taking a nap, and Rebecca, if you read this far, I have started your Halloween gloves. You saucy minx: the busload of ladies eyed the beginnings of glove one and said, "Those look a little sexy!" Which I think is Boomer for "Do you like it rough?"
I shall leave the question fully unanswered.

Garraty Early Origins
Roscommon and Galway (Irish: Gaillimh) part of the province of Connacht, located on the west coast of the Island, where they were one of the Hi Maine Septs in Kelly's country. They were direct descendants of the O'Connors, Kings of Connacht, and the Chief of the Clann was one of the four royal chiefs under the O'Connor. The tree on the Coat of Arms illustrates their descendancy from the O'Connors.
Garraty Spelling Variations
Garraty Spelling Variations
Pronunciation, rather than spelling, guided scribes and church officials when recording names during the Middle Ages. This practice often resulted in one person's name being recorded under several different spellings. Numerous spelling variations of the surname Garraty are preserved in these old documents. The various spellings of the name that were found include Gerrity, Gerty, Gerighty, Gerighaty, Gerety, Gerahty, Garraty, Geraty, Jerety, McGerity, MacGeraghty, MacGartie, MacGarty and many more.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- For the first time since 1927, the Civil War football game between Oregon and Oregon State will be on a Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, instead of on a Saturday.
For the schools, it's a chance to make $250,000 each in TV money, and to play in front of a national audience.
"Not much is sacred anymore," said Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis. "At some point in time, if you want to have a broad-based program in Division I, you have to have the resources to pay for that, and this helps that."
Fox Sports Net announced its schedule Friday, including the 110th Civil War between the Beavers and Ducks. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. Nov. 24 in Corvallis.
De Carolis said viewers were more important than money, and he considered options such as a Dec. 2 date on "Championship Saturday," hoping ABC or ESPN might pick up the game, or a 7 p.m. kickoff on either the Friday or Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.
"The 12:30 p.m. start made more sense, because we could reach 90 to 98 percent of the country," De Carolis said. "We just thought that was an overriding factor.
"I'm not going to say the financial part didn't have anything to do with it, but that certainly wasn't the driving force. It was more about getting exposure on a national basis."
The University of Oregon has mixed feelings, said Dave Williford, the school's sports information director. The revenue is welcome, but the school wants to see how fans react before committing to a Friday game in 2007, when the rivalry game will be in Eugene.
"We have the luxury this year of not being the guinea pig," Williford said.

So, I have been known to tweak the Daily Iowan on the Little Village Magazine in the past. So far I've not gone after the Press Citizen, because whatever the shortcomings of that newspaper, they're usually not that funny. The Little Village folks have friends both places, and really, is it a good idea to trash other local media outlets? The PC even did a nice article about Little Village on the occasion of our 10th anniversary.
But the Cedar Rapids Gazette — excuse me THE GAZETTE, somehow in the past few years they've come unstuck from their erstwhile geography — I don't know anyone there, and I've been carefully tending my dislike for the paper for 41 years. And now they've really gone and done it:
EDIT: They've changed the headline for the on-line post to the less offensive "How will fire change downtown Iowa City?" The headline above was there unitil sometime this morning.
This is an article that is almost entirely free of concrete facts to support the headline. The reporter, Gregg Hennigan, did due diligence in getting quotes from a few people, but they were all variations on "I don't know, this just happened, nothing's been settled."
What is astounding is the callous disregard of the businesses that have been damaged, the tenants burned out of their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The poor people at AKAR had most of their fall inventory damaged or destroyed.
Hennigan opines "It's no secret, however, that city and downtown representatives want to see changes downtown, specifically the addition of more retailers, office space and owner-occupied housing." Yes, and I'm sure those people want to accomplish that by burning down inconvenient old buildings, like 9 South Linn Street, the Van Patten House, which is on the national historic register. The Bruegger's building was actually the first place in Iowa City I ever lived — on the ground floor, prior to its conversion to a restaurant — so I take this personally.
I don't presume to judge Hennigan as a person or a journalist, but the tone and focus of that article — and particularly the headline, which Hennigan probably did not write — is so tone-deaf and insensitive that someone at the Gazette should be ashamed.
Your criticism lacks a basic fact, colored by your professed bias about The Gazette. The Gazette newspaper headline today is "How will downtown fire change I.C.?" not the one you pulled from the web site, for which The Gazette, of course, is responsible and which was changed. Regarding Gregg Hennigan's story, noting the city's redevelopment desires for downtown is a viable part of the follow-up story that explores what will happen in the fire's aftermath and does not diminish the loss that was sustained and which was reported on in the Sunday, Sept. 25, Gazette. http://thegazette.com/2011/09/…
The Gazette is actually my favorite Iowa paper. I understand Kent's sentiment, but I don't find the article in bad taste. That said, It is rather hollow, isn't it? Is Hennigan really noting the city's redevelopment desires? It feels like this story arc was ripped off the news peg but nothing really panned out for it, to be blunt. To be even more blunt, the print article's headline is the exact question I found myself asking after finishing the piece.
Mr. Muller,
So apparently, my point about the headline was apt.
As for my dislike for The Gazette, we moved to Cedar Rapids in 1970, when I was 12 years old, and I'd been reading the San Francisco Chronical since I was a wee sprat. The Gazette of those days was a staunchly right wing paper that was firmly in bed with the local Powers That Be. It was also before the Des Moines Register was sold to Gannet and was a world class newspaper, with the Pulitzers to go with it.
Since then I'll admit the Gazette has gotten better, and conversely the Des Moines Register has gotten worse. My dislike of the paper has eased a bit consequently, but that article, and that headline especially, felt like a real slap at Iowa City.
Even without the headline, it strikes me as an odd thing to be publishing so soon after the fire, especially when no one seemed to have anything definite to say. It isn't clear what will become of the damaged properties. There aren't even any definite plans for changing the downtown, in general. My personal slant on the subject is that Iowa City's downtown IS thriving as it stands, and I'm suspicious of any plans that would change the character of the place.
A big part of that character comes from the well-preserved 18th Century red brick buildings of which the Bruegger's building and 9 South Linn were great examples. To my way of thinking it would be better to restore the damaged buildings than to build more yuppie condos and bring national retailers to the store fronts, and that's the direction the City and downtown merchants and landlords seem to want to go.
So I'm sorry if you felt I was treating the Gazette too harshly. My reaction was as much emotional as it was intellectual, but I stand by the salient points in my post. Certainly the Gazette is big enough to withstand any sniping from the likes of me.
I'm just interested, one person in the word business to another, in what the heck "viable" means in the last sentence here. The point at issue isn't whether the story or its parts are viable: of course they are. You published them.
The point is whether the story had anything new to say. I read it. I think Mr. Williams's criticisms are valid (is that the word you wanted?). And the original title of the article was, as you tacitly admit, offensive.
It means that you get total discounts at the time of subscription. The web design on a web hosting providers website is

ZURICH, April 7 (Reuters) - Proxy adviser Ethos on Friday recommended Credit Suisse shareholders vote against the re-election of Chairman Urs Rohner and Vice-Chairman Richard Thornburgh in a binding vote at the April 28 annual general meeting.
"In light of the significant litigation involving the bank in the past decade, the enormous indemnifications and fines paid as well as the lack of strategic vision at board level, Ethos recommends changes at the top at the bank," it said in a statement.
Ethos also rejected the bank's proposals for management compensation and a dividend of 0.70 Swiss francs ($0.6960) per share given what it called poor results and concerns regarding the bank's capital ratio.

Dear Poll: Who Should Pay For Bridesmaid Expenses?
I think we can all agree that the worst part of being in a wedding is the expense. Though traditionally wedding attendants pay for their own attire and travel expenses, that particular rule has never made much sense to me. Obviously in some cases, especially when it's a large wedding party, expecting the bride and groom to pay seems unrealistic, but I just don't know how I feel about this one. Proper etiquette aside, who do you think should pay for the bridesmaid expenses?

NEW YORK CITY -- Republican Vice President-elect Mike Pence says his team's "hearts go out to the families of those affected" by a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University.
Authorities say a student plowed his car into a group of pedestrians on campus and then got out and began stabbing people with a butcher knife Monday before he was shot to death by a campus police officer. Police are investigating whether it was a terrorist attack. Eleven people were hurt.
Pence calls the episode "a tragic attack." He spoke in New York at Trump Tower, where President-elect Donald Trump lives.
Pence says their "prayers are with" all the victims and first responders.

"Outstanding Service and Care"
About: Nuffield Health, York Hospital Nuffield Health, York Hospital York YO31 8TA
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
Following years of pain on my ankle (after breaking it many years ago) I underwent an ankle implant. I was involved in the decision making throughout, and received excellent care and follow up from the hospital teams. Any concerns and issues were taken and follwed up thoroughly, and even up to today, I am still able to contact the hospital with any concerns I may have. It was a major operation, and I was only number 5 in the country to have received this process. The Consultant is a very considerate gentleman, with my well being the focus at all times. I would recommend this hospital to anyone, I have always been seen at the correct appointment time too.

Theory of Action
Interlocking Theories Connect Goals from Childhood through College and Careers
Our success at increasing college-going rates begins early by aligning goals across a vertical pipeline of early years through college, including P-20 academic standards for assessment, curriculum, and professional development. The Educational Partnership Center takes the distinctive approach of linking three complimentary theories: Bridging Multiple Worlds Model, Expectancy Model, and the Sociocultural Constructivist Model.
Bridging Multiple Worlds Model
The Bridging Multiple Worlds Model focuses on how ethnically diverse youth, including immigrant, ethnic minority, and low-income students develop their identities as they navigate pathways from childhood through school to adult career and family roles. The model traces five dimensions over time:
Demographics Along the Academic Pipeline: Families; national origin, home languages, ethnicities, and parents; education and occupations;
Youth Identity Pathways to College and Careers: Student and parent aspirations for education and careers;
Mathematics and Language Academic Pathways: Math and language pathways through school, Algebra 1 as a gateway to college and careers, and university eligibility and admission;
Cultural Brokers: Bridging Resources and Challenges Across Worlds: How the worlds of families, peers, schools, and communities are connected; and
Cultural Research Partnerships from Childhood to College: Partnerships, such as the Educational Partnership Center, help transform the academic pipeline and boost resources across worlds to support pathways to college and careers.
Expectancy Model
The Expectancy Model of motivation helps to explain how individuals and groups choose to participate in a particular task, apply a particular level of effort, and persist in attempts to accomplish that task. This approach shows how educational outcomes, such as going to college are linked to such outcomes being clear and valued, to students knowing what they need to do to achieve these outcomes, and to students "efficacy" or belief that they can do what is necessary to achieve them. Skills, knowledge of the educational system, and a sense of efficacy are each important to successful pathways through school. EPC draws on this model in its central focus on students; and families; college aspirations and; college knowledge; from childhood through college to careers. College knowledge refers to the ever-changing body of information students and families need to navigate the educational system, including college eligibility, college prep courses, college applications, entrance exams, financial aid, as well as retention, graduation, and postgraduate opportunities.
Sociocultural Constructivist Model
The Sociocultural Constructivist Model considers learning as an interaction between novices and experts as they work together on culturally relevant tasks, with novices gradually entering the experts' community through increasing levels of participation in family, school, and community settings. The focus on this theory and research on communities of learners is demonstrated in the way EPC works with K-12 districts in vertical teams of UC and community college faculty, district teachers and counselors, families, EPC staff, and students.
Learning occurs through interaction between novice and expert (counselor/teacher to student)
Novices internalize speech and behaviors of experts (student to counselor)
Novices enter expert community through peripheral participation (campus visits, academic enrichment, residential programs)
Novices learn more from fellow apprentices just a step ahead of them than from older experts (undergraduate Academic Interns and tutors)

Hi, I have been told that raised ALT is associated with AIH/PBC overlap and not pure PBC.Does anyone have PBC and have raised ALT? Thanks
I have been on URSO since jan 2014 following positive AMA and raised ALP of 135. ALT has been around 60 for a year and after 6 weeks on URSO came down to 40. My ALP came down to 99. 6 weeks further on ALT is now up to 50. My specialist had said in March that he was happy that the ALT was coming down but if it stayed over 40 or was going up he would consider a liver biopsy to check for AIH/PBC overlap and also to stage my PBC. I am currently asymptomatic. Does anyone have experience of being investigated for AIH overlap or for liver biopsy? One minute I'm fine the next I'm freaking out thinking I might be a few years away from needing a new liver I'm only 33! Thanks in advance

On Vacation!
Yes, the title says it all; I'm on vacation. 12 days of not having to worry about my job, spending time with family and friends, and generally doing nothing at all and loving every moment of it!
So, since the plan is to just enjoy myself, I've decided to not worry about posting reviews for the duration. Plus, to be honest, I'm not sure what my Internet situation will be for it all. I know that I'm going to be without while I'm at the cottage with my family, and I think a trip to Montreal might happen as well. Hopefully I'll be able to keep in touch with the world through Twitter - seeing as I will have my phone with me at all times.
I'll be back to regular posts starting on the 15th!

The Hawks Eye Golf Course is AMAZING!!!! My home happens to be on the heart shaped green with very large and challenging sand traps. It is so much fun to watch the golfers manage their way out while enjoying the two decks.
The slate floor walk-out basement that I have made into a game room is so much fun for everyone. Being right off the fire pit area makes it a great gathering spot.
Thanks Lesley- we had a wonderful time and so enjoyed your beautiful home. We would like to rent it again this June for a friend golf weekend, a Thursday till Sunday. Thank u for sharing your awesome place with us!
We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful home on a beautiful setting. It was the perfect location for our Schuss Mountain get away. The kids loved the game room and playing out in the hills out back. We loved how close it was to the resort and to downtown Bellaire...and Short's Brewery.
I want to thank Lesley for allowing us to stay in her beautiful home. Everything was great and the decorations were lovely! I will definitely stay again!
This is the most beautiful house! Immaculate, gorgeous furnishings, comfortable beds/linens and the most well-stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a rental! It was so relaxing sitting on the large deck after a day of golf watching the golfers putting out on the 6th green while grilling dinner. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait to stay there again, truly a home away from home.
Very nice house. Plenty of room throughout with many beds to sleep our group of 11. The bonfire pit on the side of the house was very nice. The large kitchen worked out great for cooking meals at the house, and the grill on the deck was great. We would definitely rent again.
Very nice home with plenty of room for our group of 12 to sit together. Good location for golfing as well.
This property is perfect for a larger party that need a lot of individual beds and plenty of space. The house was clean, the location was perfect and the golf course was top notch. We really enjoyed having a fire pit and the convenience of being close to downtown Bellaire. Lesley was also very easy to work with and made the reservation process stress-free. I am looking forward to returning for another relaxing, private weekend getaway.

The storm system that blew through Athens with a burst of snow and sleet Wednesday night knocked out electrical service to about 300 Winterville customers when a tree limb fell on a wire near a Georgia Power Co. substation.
The late-night blackout lasted just a few minutes, according to Carol Boatwright, a spokeswoman for the utility company.
