- How do I use Freegal Music on mobile devices?
The Freegal Music site is designed to be used on the web. For mobile devices, we have developed a mobile application that is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
- What is the new site, Freegal Music 4.0?
1. A brand-new interface, search engine, and browse abilities. These changes are the by-product of your suggestions and years of research into best practices in the industry. We feel that this change alone will mark a new level in enjoyment from Freegal users.
2. A more than doubling of the content. By the end of August 2013, Freegal Music will consist over 7 million songs from over 28,000 labels that originate in over 80 countries. This includes the complete catalog of Sony Music Entertainment, in your home country, on the day of release. Right now our song count exceeds 5 million songs that are live, and we are ingesting between 50,000 and 100,000 new songs a day.
3. Freegal Music will be a public site, that is, and end user will be able to see the great Freegal Music content without logging in, assuming your library has not restricted access with authentication. This will enable the library to promote specific Freegal songs, and send links to the songs via social media.
4. 12,000 music videos live on the site with the Freegal 4.0 launch. Library users will be able to download a DRM-free MP4 file that is theirs to keep forever. A download of a video counts as 2 of your weekly allotment. We are very excited about the music videos, some of which are musical treasures. Initially, the videos will only be available for download via the web. The videos will be available for download to the apps by September 15th.
5. The following additional features are also live with Freegal 4.0:
a. The ability to create a wishlist of songs that they want to download in subsequent weeks.
b. The ability to backup songs downloaded into the app on their iTunes.
c. The ability to delete songs from their app to save memory on their phones. - Tell me about the music videos.
One of the great new additions to Freegal Music is the rich and growing collection of music videos. These videos often have supplemental content that is not in the underlying song, and some of these videos are historical treasures.
New content will be added weekly. We wish to tell you a few things about the videos:
1. As of August 2013, there are approximately 10,000 videos for you to choose from.
2. As a video is premium content, a video download will count as 2 of your weekly music selections. If you do not have 2 downloads left, you will not be able to download a video.
3. The videos are in MP4 format, and are yours to keep.
4. The videos are large files and we recommend that you be connected to a wifi or cable while downloading.
- How do I delete a song off my iPhone or iPad?
In the "My Music" section of the app, you will see a list of songs that you have downloaded. If you swipe to the side on one of the songs, you will see a delete option appear.
- What is Freegal?
Freegal is a downloadable music service from your library. All you need is your library card number and some libraries utilize a PIN. Freegal offers access to about 3 million songs, including Sony Music's catalog of legendary artists. In total the collection is comprised of music from over 10,000 labels with music that originates in over 60 countries. There is no software to download, and there are no digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. Access to Freegal is limited to patrons of subscribing libraries.
- What is the wishlist? How can this benefit me?
The Wishlist feature is only available for certain kinds of library subscriptions to Freegal Music. If you do not see a "My Wishlist" link in your navigation bar, then your library has not subscribed to this kind of payment plan.
However, if you do see a "My Wishlist" link in your navigation bar, then your library has subscribed to this particualr payment plan. If this is the case, then please read on to the explanation below:This tool allows a library to manage their budget on a weekly basis. It is possible that the library could run out of downloads during a particular week. In that case it will only be temporary. When this happens, the "download now" button is replaced with "add to wishlist" button. Adding your music to the wishlist will place you in a "first come, first serve" line to download the music you have selected. The wishlist is available each Monday at 12:01 am (Eastern Time). Simply visit the "my wishlist" page to download your wishlist songs or to remove a song from your wishlist. If you do not see the "download now" command in this area, you will have to check back on a subsequent Monday for your downloads.
- How much music is on Freegal Music's website?
It changes daily. But it's safe to say that there are thousands of artists, tens of thousands of albums, and millions of songs. The Freegal Music website has hundreds of genres of music and is rich in many of them. The content is based upon agreements with over 10,000 music labels, including the labels of Sony Music Entertainment.
- How does Freegal Music work?
A download usage counter is located in the upper right corner of freegalmusic.com displaying your weekly allotment. For instance, 1/3 means that you have a weekly limit of 3 downloads, and you have used 1 of those downloads. The download counter resets each week at Monday 12:01 AM (Eastern Time, USA).
The site is set up to browse or search for your favorite music or artist. You can use the navigation at the top of the page to browse by keyword, artist, or album; or you can simply use our advanced search page. Freegal Music also offers a collection of Top Download lists on the homepage where users can browse a variety of music selections.
- Are the songs and videos really free?
Freegal Music and the music you download are free in the sense that most things in your library are free to you as a patron of the library. The service is underwritten by your local library.
- Why are there limits on the amount of downloads I can make? What does "limit exceeded" mean?
The limit is set so that a maximum number of patrons may have equal access to the songs in the Freegal Music Service. The "limit exceeded" appears when you have used all of their downloads for the week.
- Who is Library Ideas LLC?
Library Ideas is a privately held company based in Fairfax, Virginia that offers services and products to the educational markets. Besides Freegal Music, Library Ideas offers eBooks and an online language learning product.
- Where did you get the name Freegal? (Rhymes with "legal")
It's a word used by Library Ideas, the company who developed Freegal Music . It means "free and legal" music.
- I downloaded a video and it took 2 of my downloads when I downloaded only 1 video.
That is the expected functionality. Videos are premium content and cost the end user 2 of his or her weekly downloads.
- Why can't I find artists with special characters in their name?
To find an artist with a special character in their name, you must type their exact name (ex. P!nk). We are working on a tool to help avoid this requirement.
- How do I backup Freegal Music from my iOS mobile device into iTunes?
Plug your iOS device into your computer
Open up iTunes and you will see an area titled "devices" on the left hand side. Click on the device you desire to take music off of.
At the top of the screen you will have options like "summary, info, apps, music, movies, etc." Select "Apps."
From there, scroll down and select the Freegal app.
Once highlighted, you should view a file that contains the music downloaded from the app.
Take that file and simply drag it to your desktop background.This will save the music to your desktop.
Now that the music is in your desktop, you can move this music into your iTunes through dragging and dropping individual songs into iTunes.
Now your music from the Freegal application is in your iTunes on your computer! From there you can move music anywhere you like!
- Can I download a whole album?
The songs are only available on an individual basis. Over time, you can choose to download all the songs in an album.
- Is there a download manager to install on my computer?
No, Freegal Music utilizes the browser to download music, so there is no need to install anything on your computer. That's one of the benefits of the site.
- How do I transfer songs via iTunes?
Freegal music has its own iOS Application which can be downloaded from the App Store. Some users may still wish to download songs to their PC and synch to their mobile device, as they will have the advantage of having a copy of their music their computer's memory.
Apple, the manufacturer of the Iphone and the Ipad, has created their devices without the ability to download music directly, unless going through the Itunes store or using an approved application. To get music on the iPhone, iTouch or iPad, we recommend the following procedure:
· Download Freegal files to your computer desktop by doing the following:
1. Press "download now"
2. Press "save".
3. Direct download to desktop.
· Next import the file into Itunes, and the following is the easiest way:
Open Itunes then drag the file from the desktop to the open application. The next time you synch your device the Freegal file will be both on their "home base" computer and their mobile device.
- Freegal Mobile Apps are available!
The Freegal Music Service has recently launched free mobile apps, and they are currently available in the Apple App Store and the Android Marketplace, a.k.a. Google Play.
- How does the recent downloads functionality work?
In the Freegal Music navigation bar, you will see "Recent Downloads." Here you have the ability to re-download a previously downloaded song up to two more times within 2 weeks from the original download for reinstall purposes, in case your connection timed out. This re-download will not count against your download totals.
- How do I burn music to a CD?
Each computer system is different. You can use iTunes, Windows Media Player or a third party software like Roxie. Simply follow the instructions found in the software for burning your CD.
- How do I get the Freegal Mobile Application?
If you have an Apple device (Iphone/Ipad/Itouch), you will be able to download the Freegal App by doing a search for "Freegal Music" in the App Store.
If you have an Android phone or tablet, you will be able to search for "Freegal Music" in the Google Play store.
As of this writing, Amazon and Barnes & Noble have not made the apps available in their stores.
- What is the functionality of the Freegal App?
The Freegal App is designed to find libraries that have the Freegal Music Service, to store your login information, to search and browse the Freegal Music collection of your library, and to download, store and play your Freegal MP3 files.
Currently, the Freegal Music App cannot export files to Itunes or any other software.
As a Freegal Music user, you can download a song again for the purpose of having a copy in your Itunes and in the Freegal Music App. You can do that within 2 weeks of your original download by accessing your library's Freegal site via a computer, and accessing the "recent downloads" functionality on the navigation bar of the home page (HINT: you may need to log out of the Freegal Application to do this. You log out by going to "settings" within the Freegal App.
- How do I search for a song or artist via my computer?
Freegal Music is set up to browse, or to search for your favorite artists or songs. You can use the navigation across the top of the page to browse by genre and news articles, or use our quick search tool on the home page. Searching by keyword at the top of the website allows you to search by artist name or song title. The Auto-Complete feature provides multiple options based on your search criteria, and the expanded search page lets you see results in a much more organized manner.
- How do I download a song on my computer?
When you've found a song you want, click on the "Download Now" link next to your chosen song. At the prompt, select Save and choose where you want to save the song. If you're not presented with a prompt, try right-clicking the link and choosing the option to save the link (i.e. Save Target As, Save Link As, or Download Linked File, etc.). This will let you choose where to save your song.
Note: Anytime you click on the "Download Now" link, even if you decide to cancel or play it, the download will count towards your weekly allotment.
- Why does the counter say I've downloaded 3 songs when I'm sure I haven't?
You may have started a download then changed your mind and canceled it. Once you click the "download now" button, it can't be reversed. It will count towards your download limit even if you cancel or choose "play" instead of "download." To avoid this, please use the song clips to ensure you are downloading a song you want in your music library. We cannot credit a download.
- What is the song clip?
The song clip is a randomly chosen 30-second clip of a song, so you can decide whether or not you want to download it.
- Is there Digital Rights Management (DRM) on the music files?
No! These files are downloaded as MP3 files which are compatible with any MP3 Player or device. You can transfer the music to any computer, MP3 player or even burn it to a CD. Copyright laws apply for all music downloaded.
- How do I get the songs into Windows Media Player?
If the song does not open directly into Windows Media Player, simply launch Windows Media Player then click and drag the song into the Windows Media Player window or simply Select: File - Import File. To select multiple songs Select: File - Import Folder. Select the file(s) you wish to add then click OK. The song will now appear in your Windows Media Player library.
- How do I find my local library in the Freegal App?
To use Freegal, you need to be a registered cardholder of a library that has contracted the Freegal service. Once you have downloaded the App, the first thing you will see upon opening the App is a search box for libraries. In the United States, you can enter your home zip code, and a list will appear of current subscribing libraries within a 60 mile radius. You can also enter in the name of your library or the city in which your library's main branch is located. Outside of the United States you can enter the name of the country you are searching (example: Australia), the name of the library you are looking for (example: Edmonton), or the city in which your library's main branch is located (example: Edmonton).
- How do I login to the Freegal Music App?
Right after you select the library you have a card with, the login screen will appear. This screen requests your valid library card number. Some libraries also request a PIN. Once you are validated, you will be in the Freegal App's main area where you can browse, search and download music. If you have problems logging in, please contact your local library.
- Can you take me through the main areas of the Freegal App?
Home Screen. This screen shows certain featured graphics, and allows quick browsing of the TOP 10 recent downloads by your fellow library patrons, and the TOP 10 recent downloads of all the Freegal users in the country in which you reside. The upper right corner has your weekly download allocation, and the number that you have used in the current week. The search icon is in the upper right side as well. The right facing blue arrow is to play a song clip, and the downward pointing arrow is to download music. The bottom of the home page has the major functionality buttons described below:
My Music: "My Music" is where all your songs are stored. Once you use the big downward facing arrow to download a song, this is where it goes.
Playlist: This is where you can create shortcuts to your favorite music. Most people will use this after they have downloaded a lot of songs. This way they can separate their classical music from their workout music, etc. You can create multiple playlists to organize your music. Once you create a playlist, you will have the music both in "My Music" and in the Playlist area.
Browse: In this area, you will be able to quickly browse the most popular Artists, Songs and Genres in a navigation bar at the top of the screen in the Browse area.
Settings: This is where you can, if you wish, log out of the Freegal Music Application. One of the great things about the App is you don't have to login each time! However if you are logging in from multiple devices you may wish to logout.

The inorexible march towards the conclusion - Kevin's violent and methodical attack on his classmates - made my stomach tie itself up in knots. Eva is helpless as he controls the Katchadourians and eventually destroys everyone around him.
Taking the form of letters written to her husband, Franklin, Eva reflects on her marriage, her children, the nature of violence and hypocrisy in America, and what it feels like to be the mother of a disturbed and dangerous child. This is not a light book, but it is a necessary one. Her inability to mother Kevin is perhaps an insightful look at those women who bore the real-life School Killers, and Lionel Shriver should be congratulated on her brave and difficult work.

In the Garden
When to water?
Days when temperatures climb into triple digits followed by evenings with fast-moving thunder storms can leave beginning gardeners unsure about whether or not to add supplemental water to their vegetable gardens. The general rule of thumb is that plants need about one inch of water a week either from rain or irrigation or a combination of the two. The amount of water can vary depending on the type of soil in the garden, but the objective is to wet the soil to a depth of 5 or 6 inches and not water again until the top few inches begin to dry out. "Your garden needs to be watered deeply,"says Henrico Extension Agent Lisa Sanderson. "And that requires some time. "Some people think sprinkling water with a hose for a few minutes and wetting the surface of the soil will be enough,"she adds,"but deep watering is not something you can do for 10 minutes and be done." Taking the time to water plants deeply can make them more resistant to droughts because the plants develop deep roots. "Watering a little bit every day encourages shallow roots," says Sanderson, "So plants dry out quicker. And watering every day helps surface seeds, which are usually weeds, to germinate and grow." Sanderson cautions that every garden is different, so gardeners need to check their soil to see when to water. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often, while a clay soil can hold moisture longer. Organic matter that you can add by incorporating it at tilling or by top dressing plants with compost can help soil hold moisture. "You can use a rain gauge to see how much rain water your garden is getting," says Sanderson. "Or use a soil meter to see how dry the soil is." "Fingers are also wonderful things to check soil moisture,"she adds. "Or use a trowel to pull back some soil and check for moisture." The best time to water is in the morning when cooler temperatures mean less water will be lost to evaporation. Watering early also allows foliage that gets wet to dry before nightfall. "It's better to water at the roots,"says Sanderson. "More water gets to the plant, and you have fewer issues with disease caused by moisture on the leaves." If time is an issue, busy gardeners can use soaker hoses that allow water to slowly seep out all along their length. Placed at the base of plants and left on for sufficient time, soaker hoses can provide the deep watering that plants need. "It's also a great idea to mulch your plants,"says Sanderson. Mulch conserves moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and can prevent backsplash on leaves during watering. Plus mulching helps to control weeds that compete for the soil's moisture. Sanderson adds that these watering principles also apply to landscape plants. "Usually, established plants are fine," she says,"but when you have these hot, hot days, it's a good idea to keep your eye on your plants to see if you need to water." |

Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl contains full remake of first game
Here's one for the import crowd. Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl, a 3DS spin off due in Japan on June 27, includes a fulle remake of the 2007 DS release, Etrian Odyssey. According to Gematsu's translation of a Famitsu report, the remake is described as a Classic Mode and allows you to create your own custom character, but unfortunately it uses the same save slot as the main game so you won't be able to play them both at once. The RPG boasts three difficulty levels, a Guild House and Grimoire Chances; hit the link to learn more.

"The company is a war machine, its workers are the soldiers" It was struggle by the workers which created the social bonds we have enjoyed to date, including the welfare state, through collective bargaining and rights which could be enforced. But today's deterioration in democracy is becoming all too plain to see - authoritarianism is spreading throughout society. [Italiano] 25 April 2011: Fascism in the workplace"The company is a war machine, its workers are the soldiers". This definition comes from a speech given by Sergio Marchionne, CEO of FIAT, and makes clear once and for all that today's liberalist policies are based on the logic of the "total" company and are guiding the current management of the company. Workers are used against each other by means of competition: workers in one company against those in another, either in the same place or at a distance of of one to ten thousand kilometres away. If a product is to be competitive and continue to be profitable it must always cost less, so the extraction of surplus value from each worker must always increase. Thus competition spreads onto the terrain of wages - which continue to drop, of work hours - which continue to rise, and of rights - which are detracted, or better still, eliminated - because rights cost money and make a company ungovernable. There is no need to underline that workers are increasingly open to blackmail with the excuse of the crisis or the particular needs of the bosses in this particular phase. So how have they been able and what have they done to be able to achieve this repeatedly-stated objective, that is to say that the workers must not only be blackmailable but also blindly obey commands, subjected to the most absolute control? The answer is a two-pronged attack:
The workers organize themselves through their union representatives and can take strike action (applying their right to do so), only now they can't, since the rules - established by the company - are now laid out in a "new-style contract", endorsed by compliant unions and applied to each single worker who must endorse the agreement when he or she is taken on. And, as in the case of FIAT, all employees are re-hired by a Newco and all have to sign up to these conditions. Naturally, if your union does not endorse that agreement, it is expelled from the company - in other words it can no longer represent you: it has no power to act, its delegates can no longer do union work during work hours and the company stops paying union dues. But can't workers still join together in protest, even without a union? No. Because now they make you sign a "joint responsibility clause", complete with sanctions for non-observance. In other words, you will be disciplined - you cannot damage the company's interests (strikes, for example, cause a drop in production) and you run the risk of being fired. Collective bargaining is a social bond which recognizes that the interests of the workers are non-compatible and non-subordinate to those of capital. But collective bargaining has been eliminted. And as if this weren't enough, then there's the law. For example, the latest piece of labour legislation (Law 183/2010, known as the "collegato lavoro") and all the other modifications to labour law made over recent years, not to mention those yet to come which, amongst a hundred other things, place even more restrictions on the right to strike. It all has a very authoritarian slant. And if this is what's happening in industry, think what could happen to society as a whole? It was struggle by the workers which created the social bonds we have enjoyed to date, including the welfare state, through collective bargaining and rights which could be enforced. But today's deterioration in democracy is becoming all too plain to see - authoritarianism is spreading throughout society. The Labour Charter of 1927 provided the foundation for the corporative Fascist State. And it makes an interesting read today - even more so as it rings so familiar... all it takes is to swap some terms and swathes of the document can be seen to be in force again today! Marchionne, and many other bosses too, has stated that the class war is over. It's up to all of us to show him it isn't!

1. TMC-2 ("times and movements connected") is an updated version of a system brought in the 1970's, and serves to determine the time needed for each single operation and, by simplifying the number of movements required by the use of theoretical tables, cutting the allotted time for each worker to perform each single operation, down to the hundredth of a second. It was responsible for an increase of 25% in production at the Piaggio motorbike factory in Tuscany when introduced there. |

The movie Jarhead may not have gotten rave reviews, but a wine that shares its name is starting to make its mark. Adam Firestone, president of Firestone Vineyard in Santa Barbara (and the older brother of former Bachelor Andrew Firestone), has just released Jarhead Red, a $10 Cabernet Sauvignon. The bottling helps to raise money for the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund, which supports marines' children, particularly those whose parents were wounded or killed in action. Firestone, a former marine, made the first small batch of Jarhead Red for a Marine Corps dinner a couple years ago. "We repeated it for the last several dinners, and it got a little bit of a following, and with that came a request to use it for other dinners," he says. In response to the increased demand, 674 cases were produced from the 2005 vintage; the wine is available over the Internet and at retailers in New York and Los Angeles. So far, Firestone has raised enough money for two $10,000 scholarships, and he is now working on a third. "A lot of people would think that marines aren't cultured enough to appreciate good wine," says Firestone, "and we've proven that wrong."

A is for … Alabama wine. Washington, D.C., restaurant Charlie Palmer Steak, which holds Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for its wine list, is continuing its quest to expose diners to wines from all 50 states. The latest promotion: Wine Wednesdays, during which discounts will be offered on glasses or bottles of one wine from a different state each week. As the promotion will run alphabetically, it kicks off today with Alabama. Unfiltered isn't sure that's exactly going to lure customers in droves. But considering the restaurant is in the capital, at least it didn't start off with a polarizing state like Texas or, in the current political atmosphere, it might have faced a dining filibuster.
Making a Big Move: Damian North, winemaker at Oregon's Benton-Lane winery, who shared his thoughts on this year's harvest in Wine Spectator's Voices of the Vintage series, is taking his family back to his native Australia. He wasn't just homesick. He had the opportunity to join Leeuwin Estate, one of the highest-profile wineries in Oz; the Margaret River winery's Art Series Chardonnay has made it onto Wine Spectator's Top 100 list two years in a row, in 2005 and 2004. North will be No. 2 on the ladder, under senior winemaker Paul Atwood. "[North] is a great winemaker," says Steven Girard, owner of Benton-Lane. "His wines--the fruit just leapt out of them. We're sorry to have Damian move on, but he's leaving as a good friend." North's replacement is Edna Valley winemaker Tim Wilson, who will make the move from California's Central Coast to Oregon in mid-January.

29 CFR 1903.1 - Purpose and scope.
prev | next
§ 1903.1
Purpose and scope.
The Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (84 Stat. 1590 et seq.,
et seq.) requires, in part, that every employer covered under the Act furnish to his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees. The Act also requires that employers comply with occupational safety and health standards promulgated under the Act, and that employees comply with standards, rules, regulations and orders issued under the Act which are applicable to their own actions and conduct. The Act authorizes the Department of Labor to conduct inspections, and to issue citations and proposed penalties for alleged violations. The Act, under section 20(b), also authorizes the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to conduct inspections and to question employers and employees in connection with research and other related activities. The Act contains provisions for adjudication of violations, periods prescribed for the abatement of violations, and proposed penalties by the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, if contested by an employer or by an employee or authorized representative of employees, and for judicial review. The purpose of this part 1903 is to prescribe rules and to set forth general policies for enforcement of the inspection, citation, and proposed penalty provisions of the Act. In situations where this part 1903 sets forth general enforcement policies rather than substantive or procedural rules, such policies may be modified in specific circumstances where the Secretary or his designee determines that an alternative course of action would better serve the objectives of the Act.

You had a procedure called laparoscopic hernia repair. A hernia is a defect in the tough tissue covering the musculature of the abdominal wall (fascia). During laparoscopic hernia surgery, a surgeon inserts a telescope attached to a camera as well as surgical instruments through tiny incisions in your abdomen. The surgeon repairs the hernia with a mesh, which patches the tear or weakness in the muscle.
Don't be alarmed if your shoulder is tight or your neck is stiff for 24–48 hours after your surgery. This is common and usually temporary.
it is fairly common for patients to have numbness around the incision area.
Continue the coughing and deep breathing exercises that you learned in the hospital to help prevent lung infections.
Avoid constipation:
Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day, unless otherwise directed.
Use a laxative or a mild stool softener if your doctor says it's okay.
Wash your incision with mild soap and water. Pat it dry. Don's use oils, powders, or lotions on your incision.
Shower or bathe as instructed by your doctor. Instructions will vary based on how your incision was closed (whether using glue, sutures, or staples) as well as how the incision looks and heals after evaluation at the first post-operation visit.
Ask your doctor when you can start driving again. This is usually as soon as you are free from pain medication and able to move comfortably from side to side. Don't drive while you are still taking narcotic pain medication.
Ask others to help with chores and errands while you recover.
Don't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds until your doctor says it's okay.
Don't mow the lawn, use a vacuum cleaner, or do other strenuous activities until your doctor says it's okay.
Climb stairs slowly and pause after every few steps.
Walk as often as you feel able.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Increased pain, bleeding, redness, or foul-smelling discharge around the incision area
Fever above 101.5°F (38.6°C) or shaking chills
Vomiting or nausea that doesn't go away
Inability to urinate
Increased swelling in abdomen or groin
Pain not relieved by medication

The RINOs will ensure that the head eunuch remains in power and continue to bow and worship at the feet of the Obama administration.The idea of conservative values and the needs of the American people are far down the RINO priority list. They are there to stroke their egos with power and get re-elected.The corruption of the American soul by the White House, Congress, Senate and the propaganda media will continue the downward spiral of America within the decade we will just be another third world dictatorship.
OK, let´s roll up our sleeves and target the RINOS to primary OUT ..we have less than 2 years to get the job done.
Just watch what happens in November 2012. See if you can win without the conservatives.
Boehner has done a fine job. Hulskamp and the other guys who got booted from their committee assignments need to put their big boy britches on. Time to grow up and work on solutions that can muster majority support. Spit wad boys go to the back of the line. Cantor and Boehner have already engineered one big win (2010) and survived a tough election in November.
It keeps getting worse!
I am so done with the Republican party! We are changing our voter affiliation to Independent. They no longer represent myself or my husband. A pox on them all, the spineless wimps!
Conservatives were also very sure that Mitt would win and he didn´t and I do think that John was right on and his fellow pubbies that did not vote for him are pretty dull and dumb - now the dims know that there is a rift in the Party and will use it.
Uh, most real conservatives supported Mitt ONLY after he won the nomination. #1,2,3 amen.
The GOP won`t stand up to their own Speaker. They have no chance against Obama.Expect more gun control, more taxes and illegals getting a free ride to citizenship. On top of that, expect more republicans an independents to stay home during the midterm election in 2014, thus throwing the `gavel` back to Pelosi. She must be licking her lips at the thought of getting Speaker Force One back.
Whew!! That was close. Kleenex tissues for everybody!
Note the brave ones´ names.....they will be gone shortly. Gutless congress.
Face it, a RINO is a Republican, period. One in the same. We have Democrats, Independents, Republicans, and Conservatives. There are two Parties. The Dems and the GOP. There is a place to go for all except Conservatives.
Money bills must start in the House. So just don´t raise the debt ceiling and make the chief freaking executive deal with it. The President cannot raise the debt ceiling.The Preezey Poser will put down his golf clubs and cry if they don´t raise the debt ceiling. So let´s watch. Shut the government down (excluding military and law enforcement) -- shut it down without pay -- and don´t listen to the Pravda media. We have a spending catastrophe to deal with. Deal with it.
#7, you couldn´t be more wrong. The vast majority of conservatives and Tea Party adherents did not want Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate. We held our noses and voted for him last November but as we suspected he lost. The unprincipled elite of the Republican party is responsible for yet another electoral failure.
What #4 and #7 said. BTW, If there are so many tough conservatives in the House, where were they today?? I didn´t see anyone step up to be sacrificed for party "unity". At least John Boehner is trying to cut spending. It´s pathetic that some Republicans continue to demonize each other while the demonrats laugh their collective faces off. Can´t say I blame them. And another thing, the wunderkind Paul Ryan voted FOR the fiscal cliff bill. Guess that doesn´t matter...
Great. Conservatives are 0 for 2 now.
#8, speak for yourself. I am as conservative as anyone you ever met and I supported Mitt Romney since 2008. It´s an overreach to believe you can speak for all conservatives. I´m so weary of the purists who think we only have to stand up and say "boo" and the Dems will fall over in a dead faint, allowing us to rule the country. Boehner is being blamed for not saying boo loud enough, apparently. We have to have the ammunition, people, and with only the House, we´re underarmed. Yelling "boo" isn´t enough. I guarantee no two people on this thread can agree on every point of a plan for what is next. So, we simply wheel and fire on our own instead of trying to strategize and focus. It´s disgusting, disheartening and frightening.
Beaner! I am glad he got reelected! I like Boehner!
Break out the orange suntan lotion for all!
Did Boehner cry after reelection?
Boehner is not the kind of tough leader we need in the House. He is collegial and tries to get along while the other side is playing full contact karate. Wrong person, wrong time. I believe him when he told the caucus that was done dealing with Obama -- read he will just give in.
Boehner is not the enemy. Obama is the enemy.Too many seem to have forgotten.Sickening.
Thanks for nothing you bunch of incompetent oafs in congress.You and your midnight shenanigans. My company just sent out an FYI to all us employees a notice of "decrease in pay" we will see in our take home pays. (1) increase in SS withholding (2)increase in Medicare tax which comes out of our pay, since employer tax rate will not change.
Agree #22.
As long as the crybaby speaker continues to cave, even though it means going against what the public wants, he. is. the. enemy, vichy style.
Boehner needs to go to the Mayo Clinic, while Barry is away on vacation, to get a testicle transplant so he can face him when he returns. We needed a speaker who can stand up to him - not someone who says openly that he is unable to negotiate one on one with the President. What kind of a wimp is he? Let´s get tough on the deficit and spending and stop crying about it.
Tomorrow, 4 January 2013, I will quit the Republican Party. May they rot in that hot place.........
Another very sad day for America. We are surrounded by cowards and communists.
The best part was when the newly-elected Boehner, clutching the House Gavel to his bosom, sobbed tearfully, "you like me! You really like me!"
Mr. Speaker already reined in the rebellious ones--now he is going to ruin those who voted against him--the circular firing squad continues.....Boehner is now like a pretty dog sitting in Zippy´s lap. Its time to start finding some primary opponents with a spine and some cohones.
1. Calls for and end to demonizing fellow conservatives would probably carry greater weight if they weren´t followed by sneering references to Ryan.2. Yesterdays result was an inevitable consequence of running a candidate unable to articulate a consistent message of the evils of expansive government and crony capitalism. Vilifying conservative ideas in February and March made it difficult for those principles to be the battleground for this negotiation.3. Is is really necessary to correct the deliberate obfuscation among our own of who and how conservative principles are articulated. Here´s a hint, given the willingness of Romney supporters to ignore the lessons of 2010 (which was hardly orchestrated by Boehner or Cantor), they probably ought not try to carry the banner of conservative thought into the next battle.We all see how desperately you want to lead, but maybe you need to check your GPS.
#4, the Tea Party caused the 2010 upset, not Boehner and Cantor.They should all be voted out in 2014. There really is no difference between the RINOs and the Dems.God help us!
#22 - since Boehner is against us, he is as much the enemy as zippy.zippy speaks and boehner rolls over. the GOP is done - they´ll never get my vote again. Independents and Libertarians only, ever again.
john boehner, the jane fonda of the Republican party. My stomach hurts.
I was sickened when Boehner yanked the chairmanships of members who voted their consciences.Hulskamp has a PHD in agriculture management representing a heavily AG state. Removing him from that committee is abuse of power by Boehner.Boehner declared war on TEA party conservatives, instead of Obama and democrats and war he is going to get.
I hope Boehner is done crying, he´s going to need more tissues later next month when Obama and the dims make him cave again on raising the debt ceiling.
Promises not to meet with o, alone again....after he promised that the first go around. Promises this promises that...he speaks and what comes through is the voice of Charlie Brown´s teacher..wa wa wa wa wa waaaa.
I wish Boehner though Obama was the enemy. Then we might get someplace.
#31 it was Gingrich and Perry that where vilifying conservative principals during the republican primary. I´m amazed at the lack of reality based thinking. So many of you advocate letting us go off the fiscal cliff, thereby raising taxes on all americans. Brilliant strategy, the republicans can then be viewed as the party of tax raisers, and Obama can then be a champion of tax cutting. But lets not think of that, lets just stamp our feet and eat our own. As far as all conservatives voting for Romney that´s bull. Less of the base voted in 2012 that 2008. Unfortunately some unbelievable people are conservative.
The Republican party is headed to oblivion; Boehner is the poster boy for failure, moral cowardice and defeat.
The honorable speaker got reelected by default, he had better grow some coconuts and stand up to the school yard bully...the only way to deal with a bully is to take him head on!
#33 I whole heartedly agree with you after the latest debacle that I have witnessed, I am a man without a party... Independent/Libertarian from now on out!
In reply #4, the aptly named "King of the Trolls" writes that Boehner is doing a good job. As with most other things that number 4 writes, he is heading south when in search of the North Pole.
Would Boehner have won if the vote for speaker were by secret ballot? I doubt it. These are the same people that oppose card check, yet are okay for open voting for speaker. Jeeze!
I was surprised and disappointed to learn that Michele Bachmann voted to re-elect John Boehner as speaker. I don´t think I will believe in her in quite the same way from now on. Now we get more of the same old, same old crying John who rolls over for Obama whenever he needs him to.

Turnitin for iPad: New Update Available
There's a new update to the Turnitin for iPad app (version 1.2.2) that will be available in the App Store today—Thursday, December 12, 2013. What's new in this release:
- Added mandatory four-digit passcode feature to securely manage access to grading.
- Added welcome workflow to facilitate access for new users, depending on whether they typically access Turnitin via an integrated LMS and/or via Turnitin UK.
- Made general bug fixes and performance improvements.
We want to specifically point out the new mandatory four-digit passcode feature. While we recommend everyone to use iPad's native passcode function, this additional app-specific passcode was implemented to better protect the sensitive student information that is accessible via Turnitin for iPad.

The sunlight streamed in through the wall of windows on a warm November afternoon, illuminating both the dark walls and white tablecloths in the dining area of what Justin Thompson hopes will be Tulsa's first great steakhouse.
Barely more than a year ago, painted lines and concrete were the most noteworthy features at North Main and East Brady Streets. Construction began in October of last year to transform a corner parking lot into a Fairfield Inn & Suites with 104 rooms on the second, third, and fourth floors.
Thompson's dream of first-class steak and service is housed in the same building as the hotel, but "it doesn't feel like it when you're sitting here," he said. His Prhyme steakhouse, set to open Nov. 28, is one of three tenants occupying basically the entire first floor of the building -- guests check in at the second floor lobby -- making the site more than a destination for travelers.
"This is Main Street. It's kind of the hub," Thompson said.
The hotel may help cement what's already been apparent to Steve Fischer -- its general manager -- since he moved on site in preparation for the hotel's Nov. 20 opening.
"I'm just amazed at the pedestrian traffic," Fischer said, hours before the hotel checked in its first guests.
Sparks flew from the staircase, as construction crews had yet to move into the cleanup stage for all parts of the structure.
Fischer wanted to emphasize the Fairfield offerings that might be considered the basics for hotels in its class: an indoor pool, free parking, a complimentary breakfast, and rates starting at $109 a room.
But he also added that the hotel's owners have taken extra steps to ensure that the brick building fits in with the revitalization of the Brady Arts District. The main parking lot sits behind the structure, with guest traffic diverted through a street-level slot in the middle of the structure to reach the lot.
The mix of businesses on the ground floor also marks a departure from the typical Fairfield Inn design, Fischer said, noting that the hotels rarely rely on such a mixed-use model.
Inside, Fischer showed off the spaciousness of the rooms, awash in shades of orange and yellow as well as modern design flourishes like a slightly-slanted wall facade dividing sleeping room from sitting area.
Outside the window of a corner room, however, the most rewarding feature for travelers might be having the BOK Center in plain sight. The hotel hopes to capitalize on its proximity to the burgeoning night life of the Brady Arts District and the broader downtown area, Fischer said, adding that the hotel has already struck up a partnership with the Brady Theater to offer both lodging and admission to that venue's New Year's Eve party. More such synergy could be on the way with other venues, he noted.
The $10.5 million project is reportedly on budget and on time. David Sharp, Greg Oliphant, and Jeff Hartman own the building under the name Brady Hotel System LLC. Sharp and Oliphant own several other properties in the Brady Arts District.
Sharp is the landlord for Bob Fleischman, president of the Brady Arts District Business Association.
"I know David Sharp has had a commitment to the area for many, many years, and I'm excited for him to see this opportunity present itself and for him to be able to put it out there," Fleischman said.
As far as the hotel fitting in with the neighborhood, Fleischman praised the building's design.
"With the architecture, with the use of brick, that's really something that brings it into the district right away. And the styling of the building itself, with the parapets, it's really an attractive addition," Fleischman said. Just across East Brady Street, the Metro at Brady apartment building has a similar brick design.
The project is far from the only construction to take place in the last 12 months in the Brady Arts District. Within sight of some of the rooms is the Guthrie Green, the outdoor park and concert venue that opened this summer. Also in view is the yet-to-be unveiled Hardesty Arts Center, a reported $18.3 million project which will house various community arts programs and galleries.
"It's all happening simultaneously," Fischer said. "Everybody's kind of pooling together to make this a fantastic area."
Prhyme's Thompson said he aims to provide Tulsans with the sort of fancy beef found only in larger cities, with offerings to include 40-day dry-aged beef, which offers an "intense" flavor not found in typical steak, as well as cuts of Kobe beef considered by many connoisseurs to yield top shelf steaks.
Neighbors on the ground floor include another restaurant, Laffa, which will offer Mediterranean-style meals and, when the weather permits, an open garage-style door to convert sections of the dining area into patio seating. For the late night crowd, food may also be ordered from a walk-up window.
Also to open is Blu, described as a "very upscale, Vegas-style" cocktail lounge by co-owner John Demko, known to Tulsa radio listeners for his on-air work, including his current job at 106.9 FM, known as KHITS.
The goal is to offer "something different that this area hasn't seen before," Demko said. Work continues on before opening, which Demko said is planned for December.
A fourth space doesn't yet have a tenant, but may be a retail outlet.
The mix of businesses only adds to the mix of neighborhood activity, Fleischman said.
"The Brady Arts District is establishing itself as what I would call an integrated activity district," he said, describing how daytime businesses and restaurants transition to clubs and nightlife. Adding a hotel means "just bringing more people into the Brady Arts District," he said.

"Home," Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 192
1. Home is where the heart is
And warmth and love abound.
Home is where warm, circling arms
Go all the way around.
2. Home is where there's father,
With strength and wisdom true.
Home is where there's mother
And all the children too.
3. Home is where our Father,
Who dwells in heav'n above,
Guides us in the way we live
And lets us feel his love.

Industry News Sponsored by
Johann Wiechers, PhD
A year ago this month, on Nov. 5, 2011, beloved cosmetic industry member Johann W. Wiechers, PhD, passed away. Cosmetics & Toiletries takes a moment to remember him and reflect on his expertise as well as his zeal for life and pursuit of science.
Cosmetics & Toiletries has continuously been reminded of Wiechers' truth-seeking self from his article, "The Effects of Showering Too Often, Too Hot, and Too Long," which has ranked among our top web features for nearly three years now. Here, he shared an experience in which his own children used up all the hot water by showering too long and compared it to industry realities.
He asks, "How does the personal care industry explain to consumers that water dries them out, when we cannot even convince our own teenage children? If anyone knows the answer to do this question, please let me know. It will save me money [i.e., on the water utility bill], it will save my children's NMF, it will reduce skin irritancy for consumers and reduce product complaints for the personal care industry. The effect of excessive showering is definitely a hot issue that the personal care industry may have left alone too often for too long."
In addition, his series on whether cosmetic science is really "bad," which began in 2009 and was based on his review of a book by Ben Goldacre, turned the industry inward, to consider whether the science it thinks it is conducting is in fact sound. He stated, "I will pick up almost every book that is critical of science. After all, cosmetics is a field where many extraordinary claims are made, often helped by celebrity endorsements. Therefore, some critical thinking would not be out of place in relation to cosmetics. However, I had honestly not anticipated that a whole chapter on the subject of cosmetics in a book entitled Bad Science was possible."
Further, his discussions on nanotechnology, skin delivery and particle penetration are often referenced by the industry, and his legacy of Formulating for Efficacy continues yet today not only as a means to conserve resources and improve formula design, but also save on cost.
Johann Wiechers had a profound impact on cosmetic science and he made great contributions to this industry. If you were not able to take advantage of Johann's Science and Applications of Skin Delivery Systems and Skin Barrier: Chemistry of Skin Delivery Systems because of the cost, we are offering a 50% discount on each until November 30, 2012.

All right thank you and a Red Robin restaurants celebrating ten years on the NASDAQ and with CEO Stephen Carly this morning ringing the opening bell mr.
Carly joins me now.
First -- -- when mr.
on this show thanks for being with us so your stock is also below last October 21 bucks is now 32 -- to get back up that 52 week high of 39 dollars.
What's going well for why this rebounds happen.
Of this we've done a number things of Red Robin to really spur the stock growth with this tough competitive environment and consumers kind of if they're very nervous condition.
We spent a lot of time in the middle of the where we've been more efficient and effective and saved almost three interest points -- three basis points 300 basis points of of expense after -- the actual cost let's talk about demand though you know your average -- -- is about twelve bucks per -- is probably roughly double McDonald's.
Do you see consumers resistant to spending -- of loosening up so.
Consumers are still unbelievably focused on value and affordability.
And a Red Robin we've made a big -- around that that's one of the biggest reasons that gets in the way frequency.
So recently we introduced our -- tavern double.
Which is 69 united product with -- -- to help consumers come in more often and more frequent Red Robin bottomless Fries refills free refills Michelle Obama will be giving -- call.
Now all right and and durable market especially the the the pricing birders can kind of flood got a lot of lesser guys coming after it now right like five guys that are we'll -- a lot of casual diners with burgers on their -- we've got five guys -- so that puts the pressure on Red -- to be even smarter.
We spent more money on research and -- the last year than we have in the previous twenty.
And that's told us where we're winning and we're we're losing.
And affordability and value was a focus force hence this -- Deborah double and that's 699 price point.
You get bottles Fries and then she get bottles broccoli to.
Right do you ever think you know how can -- -- fried chicken.
Switched at KFC to get rid of the fragment ticket.
Everything about taken burger is out of your name I mean is there now kind of politically incorrect suspicion of murder is a -- Dennis -- has never been hotter as you can tell by everybody come in this -- I've got to.
Bumper sticker on my office -- -- -- if you're not open and a better burger concept.
So were taken our -- authority back is with his -- -- double for another buck you can style it up with.

[quote:Anonymous Coward 29313682:MV8yMDcyOTA1XzM0OTE1NzIzX0JBRTg3OUE2] So - even if they're just contrails, that still leaves us with f*ed up skies. That is not OK. Plants & animals rely on the sun for their life force. If sunlight is constantly blocked by haze from whatever cause, that can't be good for the human race or the planet we live on. I'm glad people are finally starting to look up and notice what a mess the skies have become in the last few decades. Maybe they'll start demanding something be done to clean them up. [/quote]
Original Message
If you try to discuss Chemtrails with others, you may well find yourself very frustrated. Many do not want to be involved, which is a central problem of having Chemtrails stopped. I'm ever so pleased to say that many are finally beginning to ask what the white lines in the sky really are. As more people get involved in understanding the chemical make-up, we will eventually have them stopped.
Initially, in the late 1990s or perhaps earlier, the Aluminium Oxide portion of Chemtrails was being used to reflect sunlight and help cool our Earth in a project which has come to be known as geo-engineering. Investigators then became curious and began conducting lab tests on air samples.
The following list of ingredients was born:
Aluminum Oxide
Barium Oxide (see recent study here)
Bacteria such as Anthrax and Pneumonia Nine chemicals, including Acetylcholine Chloride
Twenty six heavy metals including Arsenic, Gold, Lead, Mercury, Silver, Uranium and Zinc
Four molds and fungi
Seven viruses
Two cancers
Two vaccines
Two sedatives
E.coli Salmonella
How does HAARP play into all this?
The HAARP array is based just north of Fairbanks, Alaska. For me to go into HAARP would fill volumes, same as the mountain of evidence for the use of Chemtrails. However, the more you read, see, and hear the facts, you will then be more able to decide for yourself what is right. From my research, I believe that HAARP uses the Aluminium in Chemtrails as an electrical wire. If so, this may be why HAARP can travel the world.
Once trails are laid, the Aluminium could be up there for up to two years. Keep laying the trails, and you keep advancing. We now know that HAARP can cause specific earthquakes and we suspect other ailments to Earth. I say "specific" because HAARP scientists have admitted that energy direction is possible. This energy can be guided to where the operators want a quake. The US Navy that runs HAARP have stated that, they will own the weather by 2025. It would appear they are well on their way to accomplishing that goal! I wonder, with all the weird weather we are having, are the HAARP people running practice runs? I believe you will find that Chemtrails are more important to the military than merely sun reflection.
Then there are new diseases like Morgellons.
Again, I will not go into great detail as I want you to get involved to read up on it. It is a huge subject, and a disease that should not have been inflicted on Mankind. The evidence for this horror is mounting, as the links below will demonstrate. It is suspected to be in Chemtrails, and if seen on a person it appears as if worms have invaded just under the skin causing unbearable itching and burning. It is suspected that these worms are in the control of something outside the person, and are perhaps even nano-based. So what are we to believe? That this is another project the military has developed in their 35- to 45-year head start? It is very hard to understand someone developing such a weapon . . . if it is a weapon. But, if it is, it would not be the first time that the military produced a bioweapon. Please read up on Morgellons, as the more informed we are, the easier it will be to eradicate it. Cliff Carnicom's site, as well as Vaccine Liberation Army would be the key places to learn more about Morgellon

1. Why Do Women Have so Many Shoes?
If you want to know why some women get really excited about shoes, I can't tell you. But regardless of whether women actually like shoes or not, the average woman has to have a fair amount of them, especially if they wear dresses.
Ladies have to coordinate hemline with boot height; they have to make sure the styles match, and colors don't look funny together. To cover all the bases, ladies usually need a brown, black and white pair of shoes in each style (pumps, flats, sneakers, low boots, high boots). If lady gets any funky "cute" colors, they'll probably end up matching exactly one outfit.
Figuring out which shoes would go with which outfit is basically voodoo, as far as I can tell, and there's no changing rooms at shoe stores, so it's easy to come home with a pair of shoes and find out they don't match shit.
Maybe a lot of these "bad combos" seem like silly nitpicking to guys, but I'm pretty sure that at least in some cases, even though the average guy couldn't tell you what was wrong, he would feel like there was something "off" about the outfit, or suddenly feel like the girl looked stockier or more awkward.
2. Why Do Women Smell Nice?
A lot of guys think women try to smell nice on purpose, using perfume or other scents. But only 36 percent of women wear perfume on a regular basis.
Since men seem to feel that more than 36 percent of women smell nice, another possibility is shampoo. Most men don't think of shampoo as a smell that lingers, since their hair is usually short. Women, who tend to have longer hair, basically have a bigger head-sponge to retain shampoo smell.
Not that women consciously pick shampoos based on how nice it will make them smell to others. If they do pick shampoos based on scent, it's usually based on how nice it will smell to them while
