There are many ways an informational website can earn online. One is through affiliate marketing while the other is Internet advertising. Which one is for you will depend on your website's reach.
Internet Advertising
Internet advertising is where a company pays you a fixed fee to have their banner ad or text plug posted in your website. This can be either a: fixed or permanent banner ad or text plug exposure; or in a banner ad rotation system where different ads are shown at a time. The lesser ads in the system, frequency shall be higher.
Charging a fee in this model would require you to justify that value of your website's traffic. It doesn't have to be high but the quality of the audience that you attract should fit your advertisers target market. Knowing this information is important in packaging an Internet advertising offer to your clients.
Advertising in Philippine web sites is not that expensive actually. You can get a prime space in a web site from 2,000 to 20,000 pesos per month. But the number of traffic, hits, and visitors will not always be the barometer as to where one should place their advertisements. What matters more is the quality of visitors that one drives to their site.
Affiliate Marketing
In addition to offering Internet advertising, you can also join existing affiliate programs that can pay you for every successful click or sale that you generate to their websites.
In this case, I consider Google AdSense as the best thing that happened online after Yahoo Groups, WebsiteWizard, and GMail.
Google AdSense allows you to generate income in your website or blog. Users of Google-owned Blogger.com can easily allow any blogger to integrate Google AdSense and start earning revenue online.
Every time a site visitor clicks on a Google Ad link in your site, you earn. Google pays you once your monthly or accumulated revenue reaches one hundred dollars (US$100). Google has dramatically changed the Internet advertising scene as it allows any web publisher or blogger to earn online.
On the other hand it also offers the same to advertisers through Google AdWords to have their ads appear in Google search engine results and Google AdSense member sites according to their budget. For as little as one hundred pesos a day (P100), an entrepreneur can advertise in numerous sites, tailor ads and keywords on a daily basis, and adjust regularly to maximize ad performance.
You can also join traditional affiliate marketing programs to generate revenue in your website. In the Philippines, the most popular shopping site is Amazon.com. Signing up as an affiliate member of Amazon can give you the chance to earn a commission from all Amazon.com sales generated through your website.
For site owners, offering affiliate marketing program is like giving a commission to a fellow site owner who was able to generate sales for you. However, you will need to have a tracking system in place, or subscribed to one, that will allow you to do this.
Affiliate partners offers commissions in terms of flat rate or percentage fee. It is wise to partner with the right affiliate partner to avoid scams, among others. When choosing for the right affiliate partner, don't just insert any advertisement in your site. Choose the one that will appeal to your readers. Perhaps what can strike your interest and encourage you to click might encourage your readers as well.
DigitalFilipino.com experience
You might notice that our website, DigitalFilipino.com, is filled with banner ads from both local and foreign websites. Instead of charging a fix monthly fee, all corporate members of the DigitalFilipino.com Club can have their banner ad be part of our system. As an alternate, we also posted Google AdSense in our website that allows us to generate passive income as well. We also joined Amazon.com's affiliate programs as we feature various books that we like and endorse in our website.
Webmasters and content managers will have to be creative in conceptualizing earning opportunities, to make their site pay off to maintain its operating cost, and generate substantial operational revenue. In fact, this is the perfect time to set-up an informational and highly content-driven website as opportunities to earn have become friendlier than before.
I only hope that more and more Filipino merchants will realize the importance paying according to results delivered. Merchants will only pay those that deliver results (clicks or sales) and webmasters can have the option of whom to partner with that is likely to attract their current site visitors.
With that, let us all grow in this booming Internet economy. For the growth of e-commerce in the Philippines!

Letters from our readers
"Mailbag" Continued...
Grieving together
The article written by Nancy M. Tischler on the fictional settings created by Jan Karon and Wendell Berry ("Books issue: Jan Karon vs. Wendell Berry," June 30/July 7) depicts my 30-year marriage. My wife dwells in Jan Karon's world; I dwell in Wendell Berry's Port William. But together we grieve over what modernity and progress have taken away.
-Mark R. Seeley; Charlotte, N.C.
I appreciate the attempt to compare the fictional places created by Karon and Berry but it largely fails, and not from lack of skill on Tischler's part. Despite his estrangement from the institutional church, Berry's fiction is much truer to the Christian experience. His characters have a sense of looming joy and impending disaster, of the twin possibilities of love and judgment, while Karon's world is tidy and sentimental. While Karon's work has some moralistic merit, it remains artistically insubstantial, like a Thomas Kincaid painting, to be consumed and forgotten. What use is Karon's "gentle life full of grace" without the brutal reality that makes us see our need of grace?
-Stephen Schuler; Golinda, Texas
Jan Karon's wonderful books are dessert after a steady diet of violence, hypocrisy, and plain lunacy in the media. When I crawl in bed with a Karon novel, I know it will be a sedative to my weary soul. When I pray, it's for the redemption of the sinful world and deliverance of the innocent, and for a Mitford-like world full of Father Tims and Cynthias, God bless 'em.
-Barb Roberts; Lynchburg, Va.
Professing wisdom
"Backward, atheist soldiers" (June 30/July 7) was quite eye-opening and troubling. It appears that, as Paul says in Romans, "professing to be wise, they became fools." The proper and urgent response to those who publicly express such intense hatred of our Lord is to pray that God in His great mercy will give these authors the gift of saving faith.
-Joan M. Hochstetler; Charlotte, Tenn.
Why the violent language by the atheists? If there is no purpose in life, why get all exercised about people who are "deluded" into thinking that there is? In general, Wilson's book is a well-reasoned, relatively calm response to Harris' book-exactly the mode and mood Christians should take. (I have read both.) Hate mail should be off-limits to Christians, whatever the atheists may write or say. Also, The New York Times' endorsement of the atheists' books confirms what many of us have suspected for quite a long time, namely, that The New York Times editorial board is virulently anti-Christian.
-J.C. Keister; Lakeville, Minn.
Your review of all the atheist authors brought to mind this Scripture from 1 Corinthians: "But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised." We should not be surprised at their thinking.
-Dorothy Austin; Farmington, N.M.
Heroine of faith
Thank you for Stephen Griffith's article on Ruth Bell Graham's long and beautiful life ("Woman of letters," June 30/July 7). I admired her as an older sister in Christ who taught me about loving family and God in her books. She was a heroine of faith to me. I hope Mr. Griffith will finish her book, How to Marry a Preacher and Remain a Christian. Her wisdom and humor would benefit so many.
-Joan G. Martin; Marietta, Ga.
In the summer of 1982 my fiancé gave me a beautiful copy of Ruth Bell Graham's book of poems, Sitting by My Laughing Fire. It faithfully and safely led me through our engagement, early marriage, and mothering of four children with beauty, wit, sorrow, and always with hope. At least twice a year I read it all the way through, laughing and crying, as she expresses the challenges and joys of the Christian life.
-Carol Stone; Sagamore Beach, Mass.
Ripping good mystery
Thanks so much for Megan Basham's positive and accurate review of Nancy Drew ("No mystery here," June 30/July 7). My 10-year-old granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the clean humor, the ripping good mystery, and Emma Roberts' charming portrayal of the heroine. It was a pleasure to see a movie that both entertained and provided so many examples of good behavior to discuss with my granddaughter.
-Molly M. Freeman; Tulsa, Okla.
Just bluffing
Regarding the study suggesting the patterns in fossils of the dinosaur Sinosauropteryx are not "protofeathers" but merely skin fibers ("Where the evidence leads," June 30/July 7): Evolutionists are bluffing when they say their beliefs are scientific.
-Karl Priest; Poca, W.Va.
Performance Potts
I appreciated "British idol" (June 30/July 7). Paul Potts, who blew away the audience and judges on Britain's Got Talent singing "Nessun Dorma," showed the world that you can't judge people by how they look. I saw his performance on YouTube and, even though I knew what was coming, I was still surprised by how superior he sounded. Also, the look on Simon Cowell's face was priceless!
-Michael Davis; Springfield, Va.
Hard to be sympathetic
It was hard for me to muster much sympathy for the Shah family mentioned in your cover story on the plight of legal immigrants ("Not so 'grand' a bargain," June 23). My brother, after working for the same company for over 20 years, was forced to take early retirement and is being replaced by immigrants from India. So much for loyalty to a hard-working, long-term employee.
-Kathy Parcells; Dayton, Ohio
What persecution?
I think the answer to Joel Belz's question, "What about Israel?" (June 16), was answered in the next issue in "Persecution: Cut off" (June 23). Israel has no tolerance for Christians, so why should we support them? The Judaism of today has little to do with the fulfillment of prophecy, as so many think. It is, in fact, the very Judaism that Jesus condemned.
-John G. Barbour; Tallahassee, Fla.
I was surprised by "Cut off." Munayer complains about being stopped at checkpoints when Jews are not. If he can show me all of the Jewish people blowing up nightclubs, buses, and military stations in Israel, I will gladly take his side on that one. However, as long as only Arabs are doing these things, there is no logic to police wasting their time stopping Jews as well. One can only wonder what Christians in Saudi Arabia, China, and other nations would think of such "persecution."
-Richard Stead; Los Alamos, N.M.
Spirit or style?
Regarding Andrée Seu's account of her experience in a church in Philadelphia's inner city ("Holiday and Heaven," June 23): The lively singing and preaching, which differed so radically from what she was exposed to in seminary, certainly might have been influenced by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, she might have been simply struck by something new to her: the energy, volume, and emotion that characterizes thousands of black churches. Is it the Spirit or just a different style?
-Doug Hjellen; Mill Creek, Wash.
Saved the landing
What a great story of the gymnast star Tom Kelley and his mom, Susan ("Life of the mother," June 16), who chose to save her son even at the risk of emergency surgery. Abortion is a slap in the face of God!
-Margaret Maass; San Luis Obispo, Calif.
- The 75,000-member Evangelical Presbyterian Church is based in Livonia, Mich. ("Where they stand," July 14, p. 33).
- Lady Bird Johnson died July 11, 2007 (The Buzz, July 21, p. 4).
- Syria is north of Israel; Jordan is the nation east of Israel ("Fighting chance," June 30/July 7, map, p. 22).

Cruises from Athens
By Viator, June 2015
If you fancy a longer sojourn at sea, there are a number of cruising options available from Athens. Take the ferry from Piraeus to spend five days in the Cyclades Islands, taking in three very different destinations. Mykonos may be party-central, with vast nudist beaches and a gay nightlife, but it is also the island of adorable whitewashed villages and shady cobbled lanes, cobalt-blue topped churches and side trips to the sacred sites on neighboring Delos, a mere 30 minutes away by boat.
Santorini is famous for its dramatic cliffs, arty villages, expensive shops and stunning caldera sunsets, while laid-back Syros is tranquil, with plenty of soft sandy beaches and the charming Neo-classical town of Ermoupolis to explore.
Travelling by sleek wooden motor yacht, expand your cruise to seven nights island-hopping in the Cyclades and encompass an overnight stop in Paros as well as mooring up at a deserted beach on Poliegos, uninhabited apart from its salt-water-drinking goats, and overnighting in unspoiled Folegandros, where large cruise liners cannot berth.
Alternatively make Mykonos your sole destination, choosing from two- or four-night packages. There's even the perfect cruise for landlubbers who don't like to be out of sight of terra firma; a three-hour coast-hugging sailing trip to the island of Fleves from Piraeus for snorkeling in the pristine waters of the Saronic Gulf.

Free for everyone except you!
It's free to get in but if you want to watch it's $14.
Are there any issues with parking? Are the lots open, do people tailgate, etc?
General information from last year:
Iowa State's Cyclone Gridiron Club Spring Football Game Saturday will kickoff at 2 p.m. in Jack Trice Stadium. Admission is free. The general public can watch the game from the east side of the stadium and should enter the stadium only through Gate 1 on the east side of the stadium. Gate 1 on the east side will open for the general public at 1 p.m. Jack Trice Club members, media and working staff should enter the stadium through Gate 1 beginning at 12:30 p.m. Suite holders can enter the stadium through Gate 5.
All parking is free. The northeast concession stands will be open on the east concourse. Restrooms on the east concourse will be open for the game.
The Iowa State ticket office will open at 1 p.m. and close at 3 p.m. for fans wishing to purchase season tickets.
The Guest Services booth will be open on the east concourse.
The game will be broadcast on KASI-AM radio (1430) in Ames and KXNO-AM radio (1460) in central Iowa. Audio is available on Clone Zone via cyclones.com. We will not have a video stream available but cyclones.com will post highlights of the spring game shortly after its completion.
The 2011 football posters will NOT be available at the spring game on Saturday. The Iowa State athletics department will release poster pick-up information on cyclones.com, Facebook and on Twitter when the posters are available.
I assumed this was going to be someone complaining of the cost of either attending the game or the cost iowa state spends on putting on the game.

Lots are open and free. We tailgated last year and had no problems.

I wish more people would, Itd be cool to see at least 1/5 of the people tailgating as there is at regular games, I mean why not!
I dont know that we will make the drive up this year or not, its actually kinda boring.

Calabasas-based audio enhancement technology developer DTS said this morning that a trio of audio brands--McIntosh, Sonus Faber, and Wadia--have begun to use the company's Play-Fi wireless, whole home audio technology. DTS said the move comes thanks to a deal with audio systems and speaker developer Fine Sounds Group. Financial details of the win were not disclosed. Play-Fi is the whole home, audio technology that DTS is licensing to other companies, offering up multi-zone coordination from devices, mobile apps, ability to connect over standard WiFi and Ethernet, and more. The two said that the three audio brands will roll out products with Play-Fi support later this year.

While the government is projecting the collapse of WTO talks on the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) as a sign of its unwavering commitment to food subsidies for the poor, some supporters of its stance have begun to argue that the US has no moral authority to criticise India given its use of laws like Special and Super 301 and their use to get Japan, for instance, to accept voluntary export restraints in the past. The US being an active party in the dialogue on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is seen as yet more evidence of how the US wants to bypass the WTO system. Seductive as the arguments seem, they are largely irrelevant. For one, as this newspaper has pointed out before, the WTO is not concerned about food subsidies, it is only concerned about the distortionary impact on trade. This distortion takes place when, after the Food Corporation of India pushes very subsidised grain through the ration shop system, a large part of it finds its way to export markets, thereby distorting global trade.
While there are several solutions that can be proposed to fix such distortions, the most viable one is cash support to farmers and to individual families, all of which are permissible under even current WTO rules. To the extent the WTO revises its two-decade old external reference price, India gets more room on food subsidies, but the current regime isnt hurting India either. Given the four-year peace clause agreed to at Bali, India had plenty of time to either get the WTO rules changed or to get its direct benefits transfer scheme in place. Once this is done, and the poor are given food subsidies in cash, the outgo falls to a third or a fourth of what it is today. And given that all farmers could be provided a cash subsidy, this is infinitely superior to the current system where only richer farmers who sell their produce to FCI get any form of income support, and this is restricted to the few states that FCI operates in.
That the US/Europe have abused their dominant position is a fact of life, what India needs to worry about is what its options are in a world where WTO rules dont apply. In a situation where the TPP takes off, a large chunk of global trade in goods and services will take place on preferred terms and India may

Learning to read and write in Hungarian is much easier than in English. Every letter has only one sound, and every letter in every word is pronounced.
No silent letters, no soft/hard sounds for the same letter, no i before e issues to learn.
In Hungarian, rhythm would be written rithm, and guess would be ges.
T-Sprout quickly mastered the Hungarian letters and their sounds. A friend suggested that it's easier to work on writing before reading, so we've been sounding out words on the dry erase board. Just easy classics: mama, papa, grandma, grandpa, cat, house, etc.
She's also expressed interest in writing independently. She sits at her desk writing out letters and numbers and calls it "studying for her test." (Papa Sprout studies a lot for work-related tests).
A few months ago when I was writing out the bridal shower invitations for my sister, she sat down next to me with a post-it pad to write out wedding invitations.
When we asked her what the 8 or so random letters on her invitations stood for, she said, "Dear Auntie G, Please invite us also to your wedding."
We had a major breakthrough a couple weeks ago: she sounded out and wrote some real words by herself.
She woke me up in the middle of my nap to show me her magnum opus.
Four real words, with the appropriate letters colored in: KAKA, KAKA, PISI, PUKI. (poop, poop, pee, fart)
A masterpiece.

New York, March 2013 – Brioni announces a partnership with not-for-profit organization Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ) in support of Haiti's children, through the Brioni program of student bursaries.
The collaboration, set to have a seven-year duration, aims to support the education of eighty students at APJ's Academy for Peace and Justice.
The first important step will be the construction of the third wing of the Academy, set to open in late 2013, which will welcome eight hundred children from the poorest areas of Port-au-Prince.
"APJ is excited to have Brioni on board," declared APJ founder Paul Haggis. "Great progress has been made in Haiti, but many challenges are yet to be faced. Brioni's commitment is therefore very important for the future of this country."
Brioni has always supported Artists for Peace and Justice by sponsoring important events, attended by such well-known names as Olivia Wilde, Gerard Butler, Ben Stiller, Jon Hamm, Lee Daniels and Pierce Brosnan, which have raised funds for the development of long-term projects.
"Paul Haggis and the APJ team are doing an incredible job in Haiti," declared the CEO of Brioni USA, Todd Barrato. "In the name of the Brioni group, we are proud to help them support these children and happy to be able to promote their education."
"We are very proud to be a part of this project," declared Brioni managing director Francesco Pesci, "Supporting children's education means supporting the future of this country. The construction of the third wing of APJ's Academy for Peace and Justice is just the first step of what I am sure will be a long and rewarding collaboration."

Simplify social networking with Android app AnyPost
In a world where it's no longer a question of whether or not you have some kind of social networking account, but of just how many you have, AnyPost is an app that allows you to simplify these social networking experiences.
AnyPost is a client app for the Ping.FM service that allows you to update more than 30 social networks simultaneously. The mega-list of all the supported social networks includes every obvious guy you can think of: Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Wordpress, Skype and Tumblr. But there were lots that I'd never heard of before. In other words, it seems like AnyPost has all its bases covered.
To get started, first register an account with Ping.FM if you don't have one already. Then, sift through the list and choose which social networking sites you belong to.
After you have customized your account, the app will request your Ping.FM mobile key, which works like a password. From here, you can start posting status updates and photos to all your networks, or just selected ones.
I was impressed with how intuitive this app was; It's very easy to use. The app's screen has just two tabs: "Dashboard" and "Recent Posts." In the "Dashboard" section, specify which networks you'd like to update in the drop-down menu, type in your status update and then click "Ping it!" to send. There's a feature here that allows you to add photos, if you like. "Recent posts" is the chronological listing of your most recent updates.
AnyPost has a very sleek and simple design. It's also very effective and accomplishes exactly what it set out to do. Everything I "pinged" showed up exactly where it was supposed to, as if I had actually posted it on Twitter or Facebook.
This is a great way to limit the time you spend hopping from website to website (or app to app) on your Android phone.

Organisms from prokaryotes to plants and animals make costly investments in diffusible beneficial external products. While the costs of producing such products are born only by the producer, the benefits may be distributed more widely. How are external goods-producing populations stabilized against invasion by nonproducing variants that receive the benefits without paying the cost? This question parallels the classic question of altruism, but because external goods production need not be altruistic per se, a broader range of conditions may lead to the maintenance of these traits. We start from the physics of diffusion to develop an expression for the conditions that favor the production of diffusible external goods. Important variables in determining the evolutionary outcome include the diffusion coefficient of the good, the distance between individuals, and the uptake rate of the external good. These variables join the coefficient of relatedness and the cost/benefit ratio in an expanded form of Hamilton's rule that includes both selfish and altruistic paths to the evolution of external goods strategies. This expanded framework can be applied to any external goods trait, and is a useful heuristic even when it is difficult to quantify the fitness consequences of producing the good.

Horror films have long been a mainstay on the independent film scene. Considering the relatively inexpensive production costs and devoted fan-base that promises returns for financiers, countless filmmakers have taken the plunge and painted the screen red with blood. Many of these filmmakers, with their unique visions of the low-budget horror troupes, end up altering the genre itself and changing the direction of cinema. Below, just in time for Halloween, are 10 horrors that changed the game. (This is by no means a comprehensive list of every horror film that has made a dent on indie cinema. Please include your own picks in the comment section below.) Click on film title for more info.
"Nosferatu" (1922)
Despite a few tactful changes to naming the undead, "Nosferatu" was deemed the unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and was doomed to be destroyed. However, a print of the film emerged and was duplicated, saving this German expressionistic horror. As you watch the film below, notice how Max Schreck's Count Orlok eyes never seem to blink which adds even more to his unnerving performance.
"Night of the Living Dead" (1968)
The Godfather of today's cultural craze for all things zombie, "Night of the Living Dead" actually never once referenced these creeping ghouls as zombies. These flesh eaters were actually the result of nuclear radiation which is just one of the many Cold War and cultural critiques laid out in this film. "Night of the Living Dead" is worth watching if only to first see all the troupes of the zombie genre picture as they are first established by legendary horror director George A. Romero.
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
Though initially banned in several countries, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is now considered one of the greatest horror films of all time. The film which follows a group of teens as they eventually fall prey to an impossibly terrifying family of cannibals and the hulking screaming monster that is Leatherface, is a prime example of 1970s exploitative cinema. The truly shocking feature of this film however is the difference between the amount of blood on screen and how much you think is there.
"Suspiria" (1977)
Despite blood red making a prominent mark in this Italian horror, director Dario Argento makes all his colors vibrant in this 1977 classic. Drastic lighting and a near perfect soundtrack breathe a nightmarish quality into "Suspiria" that is ultimately enthralling and terrifying.
"Halloween" (1978)
"Halloween" helped define the art of the slasher film. Departing from the screaming monsters and crazed killers, John Carpenter's Michael Myers is slow moving, unemotional, and effective. With a featureless white mask (the painted mask of William Shatner), the audience is able to project anything they want on this single murderous force. However, the true genius of "Halloween" is the use of point of view shots that puts Myers' mask on the audience and the knife in their hand.

Section 3: Residence Hall & University Policies
Congratulations on becoming a member of the UC Davis community. You are also a member of the community that exists within your residence hall and floor. Student Housing and University policies are designed to give a clear perception of what is expected of you as a UC Davis student. Living with forty or more people in a community is not always easy, since everyone comes from different backgrounds and has a different set of expectations for living in the halls. The policies and rules that exist are intended to give you and your neighbors standards by which you can live and learn together.
A. Community Standards of Living
1. Responsiveness to University Staff
Resident Advisors are required to document all possible violations of policy. They do not determine who is responsible and will document all persons present. Students have the opportunity to share their account of a situation when they meet with the Conduct Coordinator or Residence Hall Judicial Board. Your actions and behavior during documentation will be taken into account, and it is imperative that you cooperate with the Resident Advisors. Furthermore, students must comply with the directions or requests of University officials, including housing staff such as Coordinators, SRAs, RAs, and administrative managers. Failure to accurately identify oneself, and/or comply with staff requests will result in disciplinary action.
2. Passive Involvement
Being a member of a community means understanding and adhering to community standards and policies. It also means taking an active role in the development and well-being of that community. One community role residents play is to ensure that community standards are upheld. As a community member, you are responsible for your behavior and the choices that you make. It is our hope that you will choose to abide by all university and housing policies as well as community standards. If you are ever in the presence of a policy violation, you have some choices:
- You may attempt to stop the violation or;
- You may contact residence hall staff or;
- You may remove yourself from the situation.
If you choose to remain at the scene of a policy violation, you may be included in the incident report and may be held accountable for a policy violation.
B. Policies
1. Alcohol & Other Drugs
The university's mission of teaching, research, and public service is furthered by promoting a healthful environment free from abuse and illegal use of alcohol and other drugs. The university encourages and supports research and education on topics related to drugs, alcohol, and health. Faculty, administration, staff, and students have individual and shared responsibility to create a healthful campus environment.
Student Housing makes every effort to maintain residential communities free from illegal use, possession or distribution of alcohol and other drugs. Under California law the legal age for alcohol possession and distribution is 21 years old. The university adheres to all federal, state and local laws governing the possession, use, sale, distribution and manufacture of alcohol and other drugs.
University policy prohibits illegal possession, use, sale, distribution and manufacture of alcohol and other drugs. The university discourages the abuse of alcohol and other drugs. This abuse often disrupts the community risking the health and safety of the abuser and others who come in contact with him or her. Those who violate alcohol and other drug policies are subject to disciplinary action, criminal prosecution, and/or referral to treatment/intervention programs.
Possession and/or use of alcoholic beverages in or around the residence halls is not allowed, except by residents who are of legal drinking age, in their assigned room/suite or that of another resident who is of legal drinking age, with the door closed, or at authorized special events that adhere to Campus Regulations on Alcoholic Beverages. Residents who are of legal age but who have roommates or suitemates who are under 21 need to be aware that they are not to consume alcohol around underage residents, including their roommates or suitemates. Neither kegs and/or other bulk quantities of alcoholic beverages, distribution of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 years, nor manufacture of alcoholic beverages are permitted in the residence halls. Students who provide an environment where underage students can drink are in violation of this policy, even if the hosting student is not drinking. Students who are intoxicated or not in control of their behavior so as to be disruptive or destructive to the community, the facility, or themselves, are also in violation of this policy.
The possession, use, sale, or other involvement with any controlled substance (illegal drug) violates the law and is against both university and residence hall policy. A marijuana smell can also be considered disruptive to the community, and will be treated as a policy violation in the same way that not being in control of your behavior and/ or being disruptive to the community is an alcohol policy violation. Possession of a valid medical marijuana card does not permit possession or use of marijuana in the residence halls or on Student Housing property.
2. Barbecues
Barbecues are not allowed on balconies, under trees, or in courtyards for fire safety reasons. They are also not allowed around swimming pools. Barbecues must be at least twenty-five (25) feet away from any structure and/or overhang. This distance must be increased if the smoke is traveling towards a building or any window. Lighter fluid may not be stored in your residence hall room.
3. Bathrooms
Residents are not permitted to use, walk through or be in bathrooms designated for the opposite gender. Coed floors may have only one single-gender bathroom, so some residents could have to use bathrooms on another floor in the building. Bathrooms designated as gender neutral can be used by anyone. Residents need to be considerate of others when using the bathrooms. Students engaging in inappropriate behavior for community bathrooms may be referred for disciplinary action. Students may not use bathrooms when they are being cleaned by custodial staff.
4. Bedbugs
UC Davis takes a proactive approach in addressing the issue of all types of household pests, including bedbugs. It is our goal to maintain the highest quality living environment for our residents. Student Housing has no prior knowledge of a bedbug infestation or has professionally treated the room for bedbugs.
Any student who suspects they may have bedbugs in their room is required to immediately notify their Area Service Desk to report the problem. An inspection will be scheduled and treatment will be done if bedbugs are present. Students may be temporarily transferred to another space while their room is being treated and re-inspected. Students will be asked to leave all belongings in the room for treatment while they are relocated.
Students are advised to avoid buying or receiving used furniture, mattress pads or covers due to possible "hitch hiking" of bedbugs into the room. Bedbugs may also be carried into a room in luggage, backpacks, clothing and packages. Resident owned belongings that are found to have bedbugs must be permanently removed or treated and re-inspected by trained professionals before being returned to the room.
5. Bicycles
For safety reasons, bicycles are to be parked only in designated bicycle parking areas. At no time are bicycles to be parked or ridden on walkways, in hallways, courtyards, stairwells, or in other public spaces. Bicycle repairs and maintenance may not be performed within residence halls; grease, oil, and solvents can damage carpets and floors. Residents will be financially responsible for any damages in their room. Bikes may be repaired at Bike Fix-it Stations located on the east side of Miller Hall, the basement of Thoreau and between Laben and Campbell. Bikes need to be registered at Transportation & Parking Services. Visit the TAPS website at taps.ucdavis.edu/bicycles for more information. Residents must remove their bicycles from the residence halls and campus grounds at the end of the academic year. Failure to do so will result in administrative charges. Residents should always lock bicycles properly to a fixed pod or rack; they should not be locked freestanding. Bikes should not be locked to ramps, handrails or parked in front of building exit/entrance doors. As many as 800 bikes are reported stolen at UC Davis each year.
6. Computers
Residents are responsible for following the campus computer and network use policy.
Examples of unacceptable network use include, but are not limited to: operating a business via the Internet; copying music, graphics, and other copyrighted information; establishing unauthorized servers on the network; and "hacking" (unauthorized access to another system). Misrepresenting oneself through any instant messenger service is also a policy violation. Students misusing computer and network privileges will lose in-room network access and face university disciplinary sanctions.
Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites can be positive ways to get to know others in your community and at UC Davis, but it is important to remember that these sites are public, and all information shared via these kinds of sites is automatically public unless you change the settings to private.
It is also a resident's responsibility to provide and maintain updated virus protection on his or her individual computer. Computers and networks provide communication and access to resources on campus and worldwide. Such open access is a privilege and requires that individuals act responsibly. Users must respect the rights of others, respect the integrity of the systems and related physical resources, and observe all relevant laws, regulations, and contractual obligations. Since electronic information is volatile and easily reproduced, users must exercise care in acknowledging and respecting the work of others through strict adherence to software licensing agreements and copyright laws. Students may not download or share copyrighted materials in violation of such laws. These violations often occur through the use of peer-to-peer filesharing programs and students should be aware of how programs work before installing them on their computers.
7. Damage & Cleanliness
Students who accidentally or intentionally damage residence hall property will be expected to make restitution for repair or replacement. Students may not make repairs or alterations (including the removal of closet doors) to any university property or furniture. Students will be held responsible for cleaning up or be billed for cleaning any excessive messes in their room/suites or common spaces (see damage reduction). It is the resident's responsibility to report custodial and maintenance concerns using the Student Housing channel on MyUCDavis.
In order to promote acceptable levels of sanitation, hygiene and proper care of university property, all students are expected to clean their bedrooms. Trash from bedrooms must be disposed of properly in designated locations. Locations are different for each area and residents must comply with area policies. Cuarto residents will have their bathrooms cleaned every two weeks. Student Housing provides the cleaning supplies necessary to meet these expectations. Residents who fail to meet this requirement are subject to charges for labor, supplies and overhead associated with university staff having to clean the assigned spaces.
8. Electrical Safety & Appliances
Student safety and residence hall electrical capacities are the primary concerns related to the use of electrical appliances in the residence halls. The following policy for the use of electric appliances is intended to allow residents to enjoy the use of some appliances without compromising safety standards or overtaxing our electrical capacities. All appliances used in the residence halls must be used responsibly and be in good working order, free of wiring defects, and approved for use by Underwriters' Laboratory (UL). All cords and plugs must be grounded and free of frays.
- Only one refrigerator and one microwave, or one microfridge is/are allowed in any single, double, or triple room. In suites, each living room and bedroom can have one refrigerator and one microwave. The maximum storage capacity permitted for refrigerators is 4.5 cubic feet with a maximum height of 35 inches. The maximum allowable wattage for microwave ovens is 800 watts.
- Only one coffee maker may be in use at a time in any residence hall room. Due to a sensitive heat/fire detection system, hot air popcorn poppers may not be used in residence hall rooms, nor are other food related appliances such as toasters, toaster ovens, crock pots, hot plates, waffle irons, rice cookers, broilers, etc. These items may, however, be used in "community kitchens." Used food containers must be properly disposed of daily.
- No modifications to, or changes in, electrical wiring are permitted. No "splices," "octopuses," or modification devices of any kind may be used to "add plugs" in your room or suite. UL approved, grounded power strips with fuses may be used only for computer and computer related hardware.
- Paper or plastic may not be used to cover any light or light fixture. No modifications may be made to your university-provided desk lamp, or living room lamps, if applicable.
- Lighting fixtures, including holiday lights, are not allowed to be strung on any surface outside rooms or suites.
- We strongly recommend that you do not use a portable electric heater in your room, suite or apartment. If not used correctly portable heaters can be very dangerous. If there is a problem with the heat in your room, please report the problem using the "Service Request" link on your MyUCDavis home page. If you do use a portable electric heater, it must be in good repair. Use only a UL approved heater, with tip-over protection and wattage below 1200 watts.
9. Elevators
Maximum occupancy and weight limits are posted inside the elevators; however, guidelines for safe usage are also posted on the outside of some elevator doors. Students who exceed maximum occupancy limits in elevators and/or cause the elevator to malfunction may be referred to Student Housing and/or Student Judicial Affairs. They may also be assessed any costs associated with any maintenance or repairs.
10. Fire & Safety Equipment
Refer to the Fire Safety section of this booklet for policies regarding fire alarms, smoke detectors, candles, and other fire safety standards. Because of the sensitivity of our fire detection system, and for safety reasons, no objects are to be thrown indoors (see sports).
11. Furniture
- Residence hall furnishings are not to be removed from public areas. No university furniture is allowed outdoors or on balconies. No university furniture may be removed from any room or suite. Removing furniture from public areas is considered theft and will result in a referral to Student Judicial Affairs.
- Students wishing to have a bed ladder must review and sign the Bed Ladder Acknowledgement form available at the area service desk. Student Housing staff will install a ladder and/or restraining rail to lofted or bunked beds upon request.
12. Guests
- A guest is any person who visits a room, suite, dining commons or any Student Housing facility to which he or she is not assigned.
- Residents are prohibited from hosting guests who have had their housing contracts terminated or who are banned from the residence halls.
- Hosts must be a resident of the room or suite.
- Hosts must have permission from their roommate(s) and suitemate(s) before a guest is permitted. Although roommates and suitemates are encouraged to work out host privileges with one another, the rights of a resident take priority over those of a guest.
- Hosts may not have overnight guests more than seven cumulative nights per academic quarter. This includes guests staying in bedrooms and common areas.
- Hosts are responsible for their guest's actions and will be held accountable for policy violations.
- Hosts may treat their guests in the dining commons by charging an additional meal against their card.
- Guests should be let into the building only by their host, and hosts may not give their room keys to guests so guests can enter rooms unescorted.
- Guests must abide by university and residence hall regulations and show consideration for the community.
- Overnight guests must be housed only in hosting students' rooms.
- Overnight guests are not allowed during final exam week.
13. Firearms & Weapons
Fireworks, ammunition, explosives, pyrotechnics, or flammable materials are prohibited in the residence halls. Weapons of any kind (including, but not limited to, firearms, bb-guns, air rifles, paintball guns, knives, switchblades, swords, brass knuckles, and nun-chuks) are also prohibited in the residence halls. Airsoft guns may not be discharged in the residence halls or any Student Housing building. Any item used to harm or threaten any individual or oneself is considered a weapon. It is a criminal offense for any person to bring or possess firearms on university grounds without permission (see California Penal Code Section 626.9). The university, upon discovering the presence of any weapon, may terminate any contracts immediately and the student may be subject to campus disciplinary or other legal action.
14. Food Fights
Students are not to be involved in food fights or throw food in the dining commons or any residence hall space. If someone throws food at you, please seek assistance from University Dining Services or residence hall staff; retaliation is not an appropriate response and may lead to disciplinary action.
15. Food, Supplies, & Utensils
Your meal contract entitles you to unlimited servings while in the dining rooms. You are permitted to take out an ice cream bar/cone, a piece of fruit, or a baked good, and a beverage. Student Housing provides reusable bottles for residents. These are the only beverage containers that can be brought into the dining rooms. University policy does not allow students to take any other food, supplies, or utensils from the dining facilities. Taking food from the dining rooms not only deprives others, but also increases food costs for future residents. Taking dishes, utensils, and supplies creates shortages that inconvenience the entire community. Students violating these policies can expect to be referred for disciplinary action by dining commons staff, RAs or other housing staff. Sport bottles are not allowed in the dining commons.
16. Hall Postings
Only residence hall staff may post information in the residence halls. In each area, there may be one bulletin board for general public postings; see a staff member for the location in your area. Posting is not permitted on walls, windows, or bulletin boards without permission. Students may not destroy or damage educational or informational bulletin boards created by Resident Advisors.
17. Lounges & Public Space
Residence hall lounges and public spaces are part of assigned residents' homes. The use of these areas is reserved for resident study space, resident recreational use and Student Housing program activities. At least half of the participants in any group meeting or gathering in a lounge must be residents. Because lounges are for all residents to use, lounge activities must be appropriate for a group living environment. Students engaging in sexual activity or other behavior that impacts the ability of all residents to use lounge space may be referred for disciplinary action.
18. Musical Instruments
The use of musical instruments in the residence halls is a privilege. Instruments are to be played with consideration for the rights of other residents. This privilege must always be exercised within noise policy guidelines; inability to work within these guidelines may result in the loss of playing privileges. Amplified sound is not allowed in any residential areas.
19. Noise
Noise is any sound, human or otherwise, that can be heard outside a room. To reduce noise in the residence halls, specific quiet hours have been established. During finals, quiet hours are 21 hours a day. Residents must leave the halls within 24 hours of their last final to minimize disruptions for residents still taking exams. During quiet hours, disruptive noise is not to be heard outside rooms; all other hours are "courtesy hours," during which a reasonable amount of quiet is expected to allow residents to sleep and study. Residents are responsible for their own behavior and must ask those who infringe upon their rights to be more courteous. Construction noise should be expected during designated hours and is exempt from this policy.
Minimum Quiet Hours
- Sunday through Thursday: 11pm-7am
- Friday and Saturday: 1am-7am
20. Parking
Residence hall students are ineligible to purchase campus parking permits and may not park vehicles on campus. Residents are not allowed to possess stolen or borrowed permits and may not have a nonresident obtain a permit for them. Students found in violation of this policy may be subject to university discipline.
21. Pets
All pets and animals are prohibited in the residence halls, except fish in an aquarium that does not exceed ten gallons. Student Housing must approve requests for aquariums and all roommates must have the concurrence of all roommates prior to set up.
22. Rates

23. Pools & Spas
Cuarto residents and their invited guests enjoy the privilege of hall pools and spas. There are no lifeguards and residents are responsible for appropriate standards of health and safety. The university assumes no responsibility for damage or injury resulting from the use of pools and spas. The policies outlined below are intended to ensure the safe and enjoyable use of these facilities.
- Pools and spas are for the use of Cuarto residents and their guests only; two guests per resident may use the facilities at one time.
- Pool and spa hours are the same as quiet hours. Students must comply with residence hall noise policies.
- Using pools and spas alone is not advised; at least two individuals must be present in pool areas before using the facilities.
- Glass is prohibited in pool and spa areas; only plastic or metal containers are allowed.
- Pushing, shoving, running, and/or any horseplay (including water fights) around pool walkways and courtyard areas is prohibited; jumping and/or diving into pools and spas is prohibited.
- Throwing items from balconies, walkways, or in pool areas is not allowed.
- Appropriate bathing attire is required when using pools or spas.
- Unless it is a student housing event, no amplified sound or stereo or stereos in the pool areas.
- During final exam periods, the pool hours mirror finals quiet hours, making the pool and spa areas open only from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. each day.
24. Pranks & Practical Jokes
Pranks, practical jokes and other forms of disruption have no place in the campus community. Such activities, while often non ill intentioned, may escalate into harmful and/or destructive behaviors. The victims of practical jokes often feel harassed or physically injured by what has happened to them, and do not see it as "funny." Therefore, these kinds of activities are strictly prohibited.
25. Research Projects
Research in the residence halls or involving residence hall students such as ethnographic interviews, psychology experiments, and curricular evaluation studies, must follow all federal regulations and campus protocols.
26. Screens, Roofs, & Balconies
Residents are not permitted on sunscreens, ledges, or roofs, and must not remove window screens; first floor security screens must remain closed and latched except to exit in case of emergencies. Residents and guests may not climb or cross over balconies to access or exit buildings. Items are not permitted to hang out windows nor may objects be thrown or dropped from windows, walkways, balconies, stair landings, or roofs. Due to the serious safety issues involved, those responsible may be referred to Student Judicial Affairs and cited by UC Davis police for trespassing in a restricted area.
27. Skateboards, Roller Skates, & Inline Skates
For everyone's safety, skateboards, roller skates, and inline skates may not be used in hallways, walkways, courtyards, stairwells, or other public spaces. Roller skates and inline skates may not be worn inside the residence halls or dining halls. The use of skate equipment on benches, curbs, handrails, tables, or similar surfaces is prohibited.
28. Smoking & Incense
UC Davis is committed to providing a healthy, smoke-free environment for students, faculty, and staff. No smoking is permitted in residence halls or dining facilities. In accordance with local law, additional smoke-free areas are within 25 feet of any building, courtyard, pool area, exterior walkway or balcony. This distance must be increased if the smoke is traveling towards a building or any window. Residents or guests who smoke in permissible areas must provide their own receptacle to extinguish and dispose of cigar/cigarette butts appropriately. Failure to do so constitutes littering and will not be tolerated. As a courtesy to community residents, incense burning is not allowed in the halls.
29. Solicitation
No solicitation is allowed within the residence halls and/or exterior areas as outdoor areas surrounding on-campus student residential facilities are nonpublic areas. Solicitation is defined as any uninvited contact, generally involving a request or literature distribution. No person may distribute literature or solicit in the residential outdoor areas or residence halls except Registered Student Organizations (RSO) who have an approved Dining Room Table reservation. RSOs should submit reservation requests to Student Housing for approval. Solicitors should be referred to the Student Housing staff.
- The Segundo area is defined as the area bordered on the east by California Avenue, on the west by LaRue Road, on the north by Russell Boulevard, and the south by parking lot 25.
- The Tercero area is defined as the area bordered on the east by Bioletti Way, on the west by Dairy Road, on the north by Tercero Hall Circle, and on the south by LaRue Road.
- The Cuarto area is defined as the area bordered on the east by Sycamore Lane, on the west by Oxford Circle, on the north by Wake Forest Drive, and on the south by Russell Boulevard.
30. Sports
Sports, especially those involving thrown objects, are not permitted within residence halls, in courtyards, and surrounding property. No games or sports are permitted in any courtyard, pool area, or grass area; residents should make use of intramural fields, recreation hall spaces and city parks for sporting activities.
31. Stereos & Amplified Sound
The use of stereos and other amplified devices in the residence halls is a privilege and, in keeping with the noise policy, is to be exercised within reason, with moderation and consideration. Bass travels easily through walls and should be kept to a minimum. Speakers may not be directed out any window. Lack of consideration may result in loss of privileges.
32. Storm Drains
For many years, it was common practice to wash down sidewalks and driveways, rinse out various containers, or wash down equipment and vehicles directly into storm drain inlets. On the UC Davis campus, storm water drains directly into our local waterway. Storm drains in the core campus drain directly into the Arboretum Waterway, and excess water from the Arboretum Water-way discharges to Putah Creek. Campus EH & S would like to encourage members of the campus community to take an active role in helping eliminate non-storm water pollutants from entering the campus storm water conveyance system. This will help ensure the campus stays in compliance with both federal and state regulations, but will also help to protect the environment for both wildlife and us.
The storm water information is located on the Safety Services website, located at: safetyservices.ucdavis.edu, under Environmental Compliance/Water Quality Programs.
The campus community can also report illicit discharges on-line at: http://safetyservices.ucdavis.edu/programs-and-services/environmental-compliance/water-1/report-of-an-illicit-discharge.
33. Videotaping & Camera Use
No person may videotape, audio record, or take photographs of any person in a private location without that person's explicit knowledge and consent. Private locations include, but are not limited, to , residence hall rooms and common areas, bathrooms, lounges, and other areas where residents have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
34. Violence
Any perpetration of physical aggression or violence, or the use of real or implied threats against another resident, in or near campus housing is unacceptable. Students involved in these behaviors will be referred to the Student Housing Office to have their housing contract reviewed. Students may also be subject to student discipline through the Office of Student Judicial Affairs.
35. Water Fights
For reasons of safety and sanitation, water fights are prohibited in all residence hall areas, including inside buildings, courtyards, pool areas, and in areas around the buildings. This policy includes, but is not limited to, water balloons and water guns. Students may use these items on green spaces as long as the activity does not disrupt others or create a safety risk.

Dancing With The Stars: Chaz Bono Already Has Fans Rallying In Support
August 29, 2011 08:21 PM by Lisa Princ
The official announcement has been made, and rumored contestant Chaz Bono will indeed be competing on season 13 of Dancing With The Stars on ABC. But, the real story here is that Chaz Bono, the only child of Cher and Sonny, already has fans rallying to support him! Read on for more…
For the first time in the show's history, Dancing With The Stars will see a transgender contestant, in Chaz Bono, formerly Chastity Bono, which has the gay and lesbian communities already rallying behind him in support. In fact, they were rallying behind Chaz Bono even before his name was announced tonight!
GLAAD, also known as The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation recently spoke to Radar Online about Chaz Bono's possible stint on Dancing With The Stars, in which they said: "At a time when transgender representation in the media is sorely lacking, Chaz Bono joining the cast of a series like Dancing With The Stars would be a tremendous step forward for the public to recognize that transgender people are another wonderful part of the fabric of American culture."
A spokesperson for the National Center for Transgender Equality also told the gossip site: "I don't think people will be worked up about it, even though some groups get upset over everything.

Hello, and Happy Holidays to Wicked Lil Pixie, and all of you! Thanks for having me guest, and I hope you're all having a wonderful time and celebrating happily with your loved ones. And now, onto what's next for me book wise 🙂
The Hidden Rune of Iron – # 5 in my Spellcrackers.com urban fantasy series – comes out mid 2013. Without giving any spoilers for those who haven't read the last book it sees Genny searching for the Iron Rune of the title in order to save her fae friends from a life-threatening problem they have. Only she isn't looking on her own; Malik al-Khan is helping her, as are some other characters, both old and new. But, of course, not all of the characters who join in the search have Genny's best interests at heart, so there will be lots of shenanigans (and lots of other interesting stuff, maybe involving a certain enigmatic vamp! *teases*) along the way.
Ooh, I have lots of favourites; it's hard to pick just one, so here's three. The first is Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews. I knew I would love it as I'm a huge fan of the Kate Daniels and Edge books and I did! It was fab to learn more about Andrea and Raphael. 😀
The second is The Steel Seraglio by Mike Carey, Linda Carey and Louise Carey. I've always loved everything that Mike has written so I thought this book would be great, and also interesting as it was co-written with Linda (Mike's wife) and Louise (their daughter). It has an Arabian Nights feel about it both in its setting, story structure, and storytelling, and tells how 365 concubines take control of their own lives after a violent coup means they are destined for a messy death. It's a fabulous read.
The third is Turbulence by Samit Basu. It's set in 21st-century India and London (my favourite city and the home of Spellcrackers.com *inserts obligatory self-promo* *g*) and is about a group of ordinary people who develop superpowers overnight, and what they decide to do about it. The book is huge fun with lots of fantastic humour, along with some thought provoking moments and serious questions.
I LOVE Christmas cake made with lots of fruit and nuts, well sozzled with alcohol, and covered in marzipan and fondant icing; mini mince pies made with butter pastry; and Christmas pudding with lots of cream! Can't wait 🙂
I worked in retail for years and, as anyone who's worked in shops will know, the holidays/Christmas preparation start EARLY, which includes all the seasonal songs for the store muzak. Once you've heard them on continuous repeat for near enough three months every year, there isn't one that hasn't got on your nerves at some point, though, luckily after a while, you stop hearing them. 🙂
The whole family get together for lunch at my brother's (have done ever since his kids were young as it's easier for them and my sister-in-law) and we all cook different parts of the meal, so no one ends up with all the work. After lunch (and the communal washing up) we get into teams and play a whole load of quiz games (although some of the older team members have the odd sneaky snooze :-D), which is always cut-throat and competitive, err, great fun.
A Secret Santa. And I still have it! (I'm not crazy! Honest!) The gift is some sort of weird alcoholic stuff in little silver bottles (ingredients say water, sugar, cranberry conc. flavourings (ligonberry, cranberry). The worrying thing is, they come with a plastic moose's head . . . yeah, exactly, that's what I thought . . . So I've never tried it (told you, not that crazy *g*).
I can't think of anything awful (though obviously I could've given someone something dreadful, and just not know it . . .). If I can't think of a suitable present I usually opt for chocs and (recognizable) booze, which usually go down well with most folk even if it is a bit unimaginative. Though, I do have a Secret Santa still to find this year . . . *eyes plastic moose head*
One of our Hounds loved Christmas, especially the presents under the tree. She used to think they were all for her and spend ages sniffing and poking her nose into them. (We kept any foodie ones out of reach, so they weren't too much temptation. :-D) Then on Christmas morning she'd have a wonderful time helping us open them all (wrapping paper doesn't stand a chance against claws and teeth) and, even though the actual gifts weren't always doggy ones, she always had wonderful fun giving them a good look over.
We usually have some sort of chocs or candies in the house, and me and Mr Mc make them last! (True fact! We have a candy drawer where we keep it all out of sight which makes it easier to ignore.) We share the chocs/candies out between us and just have a couple a day. Which works for us . . . unless the drawer contains choc liqueur cherries (my mum always buys me some for Christmas :-)) or soft nougat; neither of those last longer than a few hours (I'm pretty sure I've convinced Mr Mc we have mice . . . *looks innocent*)
It's not very weird, but the only thing I collect is tacky tourist-y magnets. If we go anywhere then I HAVE to buy one. The newest one is a tiny snow globe of Paris sights (we took a few days break there in November, which was fabulous!) On the plus side, the magnets are great for keeping coupons and other stuff stuck to the fridge. 🙂
Suzanne McLeod is the author of the Spellcrackers.com urban fantasy series about magic, mayhem and murder – liberally spiced with hot guys, kick-ass chicks and super-cool supes! The Shifting Price of Prey – #4 – is her latest book. Suzanne has been a cocktail waitress, dance group roadie, and retail manager before becoming a writer. She was born in London and is now lucky enough to live with her husband on the sunny (sometimes) South Coast of England, about a mile away from the sea.

The Shifting Price of Prey – Spellcrackers.com #4
Sometimes a bit of magical help might cost more than you bargained for . . .
London is hosting the Carnival Fantastique, and Genny's job has never been busier or more fulfilling. Only not everyone is so happy. Genny believed she'd cracked the fae's infertility curse . . . but the fae are still barren. It's a devastating plight to which the mysterious Emperor may have the solution – if Genny can find him.
She needs help.
She turns to the vampire Malik al-Khan, only to find he's wrestling with his own demons and, when the police request Genny's assistance with a magical kidnap, her own problems multiply too. Is it all unconnected, or can the Emperor help her solve more than the fae's infertility? Soon Genny is hard on his trail, so it seems she'll have a chance to ask . . . but will the answer cost more than she's willing to pay?

A new national study has found modest declines in obesity among 2- to 4-year-olds from poor families, a dip that researchers say may indicate that the obesity epidemic has passed its peak among this group.
The study, by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drew on the height and weight measurements of 27 million children who were part of the federal Women, Infants and Children program, which provides food subsidies to low-income mothers and their children up to age 5.
The study was based on data from 30 states and the District of Columbia and covered the years from 1998 to 2010. The share of children who were obese declined to 14.9 percent in 2010, down from 15.2 percent in 2003, after rising between 1998 and 2003.
Extreme obesity also declined, dropping to 2.07 percent in 2010 from 2.22 percent in 2003. The study was published last week in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

The report defined a 3-year-old boy of average height, almost 3 feet 2 inches tall, as being obese when he weighed 37 pounds or more. The same boy was categorized as being extremely obese when he weighed 44 pounds or more.
"The declines we're presenting here are pretty modest, but it is a change in direction," said Heidi Blanck, one of the study's authors and the acting director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity at the disease centers. "We were going up before. And this data shows we're going down. For us, that's pretty exciting."
The findings were another sign that one of the nation's seemingly intractable health problems may be reversing course, at least among children. Single interventions like school-exercise programs have not worked, and public-health experts now say that only a broad set of policy measures has a chance of success.
Over the past year, several major cities, including Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, have reported obesity declines among some parts of their student populations.
The new study was one of the first to document a national decline in obesity among young children from low-income families. Researchers say that is particularly meaningful in a population that is disproportionately at risk.
Twenty percent of poor children are obese, compared with about 12 percent of children from more affluent families, according to the centers.
It is unclear what drove the decline, but Blanck offered hypotheses. Breast-feeding, which often leads to healthier weight gain for young children, has increased since 2000.
The percentage of 6-month-olds still being breast-fed increased to 47.7 percent among children born in 2009, up from 34.2 percent among children born in 2000.
Breast-feeding of infants from low-income families has risen over the years. In 1980, only 28 percent of infants from those families had ever been breast-fed, compared with 66 percent in 2011.
The agency found that the amount of money spent on food marketing to children declined by nearly 20 percent from 2006 to 2009, with the biggest drop in television advertising. The total spent on food advertising to youths in 2009 was $1.79 billion, the report said.

Boards can now try to recoup legal fees from investors who sue and fail, Delaware's Supreme Court says. The idea is to deter litigation, but it may suppress worthy cases, hurting shareholder value and good governance. And the silly suits most want to avoid will probably thrive.

None of us should be surprised to learn that Ford's new 2012 Explorer 4WD is among the best, most affordable mid-size SUV's. With a comfortable, cushy interior, great handling and respectable fuel economy, this Explorer is family friendly. The 4WD model, does not offer the EcoBoost engine – a feature auto reviewers love to nitpick at. It seems the extra weight of the 4WD makes the greener engine impractical. But even with all the plusses associated with this grand old man of SUVs, auto-pros still find fault.
First of all, the Explorer was re-designed last year. Gone now are some of the "trucky" features and, in place of the box-on-truck architecture, are the running gears of a Taurus. Some say the 2012 Explorer 4WD is suitable only for the soccer mom crowd. Of course, the performance of the Explorer, particularly the 4WD models, makes it much, much more.
There are three trim packages available, including the Base, the XLT and the top-of-the-line Limited. All are available in 4WD and feature an all-wheel-drive system that includes technology to effectively deal with inclement weather and quickly changing driving conditions. Also standard on all models is a 3.5-liter V6.
As you have come to expect from Ford, the Explorer is well prepared in the safety department. Among the safety features are ABS, traction control, an anti-skid system, front-side airbags and side-curtain airbags. Rear-obstacle detection is standard on the two higher-end trim packages and if you choose the Limited you'll also get power-adjustable pedals, driver-seat memory, dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera to assist with reversing and keyless entry with a remote engine start.
If it's towing you want, the Explorer will pull up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. That means you can bring your boat, your camper or a trailer. The rear-view camera with guides for alignment purposes is an excellent addition and of course, there is a trailer-sway system standard and hill-start assist which makes pulling away from the boat launch ramp that much easier.
We were not surprised to learn that the persnickety MyFord Touch control system is still the source of much frustration to quite a few professional reviewers. Some say the system refuses to recognize simple voice commands, while others will tell you its touch controls are just too delicate. Be sure to check this all out when you test-drive this new Explorer.
You'll find an upscale interior, particularly if you are inclined toward the high-end versions. There is plenty of room inside, comfy seats and lots of cargo room.
The Explorer 4WD is a nicely designed, thoroughly capable mid-size SUV. It's not accidental that this Ford is consistently ranked among the best SUVs on the market year after year and was named the North American Truck of the year in 2011. It will get you decent fuel mileage – 25-mpg highway. It's not up for serious hill climbing, but it's not going to completely disappoint in off road situations, like the 2WD version can and will. It handles well on the highway and will take you and the family wherever you go in comfort and some style. Overall the 2012 Explorer with the 4WD option is a solid investment.

I had typed this question and then I hit accept earlier, but
Resolved Question:
I had typed this question and then I hit accept earlier, but it didn't seem to be sent. Sorry if you are getting this twice.
Thanks for your direct response. It is true that my husband has been very direct in telling me he feels second, etc. Where my frustration comes in is that nothing I do seems good enough and he's very critical of my family. This pushes me further from him. They are good people who care about me and I feel comfortable and happy with them (for the most part). He says that I value them more than they value me. This infuriates me. I don't believe it to be true. I feel stable and comfortable around them. I'm angry at myself because when we married, I knew who he was/what he was like (somewhat closed off). I just want to relax and feel comfortable. I feel inferior to the people around me who seem to be in happy marriages.
I fully expected you to suggest marriage counseling. I have begged him to go. He will not. I have reservations simply because of logistics (time off work, money) but would do anything to make this better. Is it worth it for me to go alone if he continues to refuse? Any tips on choosing the "right" counselor? I truly got a lot out of the Christian counseling that I got in the past, but my marriage problems have not been resolved. It was a good first step and it was affordable.

Hi again. Yes, it is absolutely worth it for you to go alone if he refuses. If nothing else, it will help you get a better perspective on the problem so you can be clearer about what is your responsibility and what is his. It's a shame he won't go - maybe he will change his mind if you go without him. But I would encourage you to tell him that you are willing to work on things, but that he has to participate so that the two of you can work on it together. If he refuses, you have no choice but to do it alone.
In terms of choosing the right counselor, do some online searching in your area and see who is available. Then contact them and ask for a consultation - which they will likely offer at no charge (either on the phone or in person). You can ask about credentials, etc, as they are important. But it's even more important that you find someone that you can be comfortable talking with and that you have a good feeling about. That's one of the most important criteria. Many therapists offer sliding scale fees if money is an issue. Good luck with everything, and please let me know if I can help you in the future. Tamara
