Professional Truck Driving
The 10 credit Professional Truck Driver Training Program is designed to prepare students to meet the qualification to become a qualified entry-level commercial truck driver. The program provides in-depth classroom instruction as well as range and road driving. Participants will learn basic operation, safe operating practices, vehicle maintenance, and non-vehicle activities such as cargo handling, trip planning, and customer relations.Classroom instruction will be two weeks in length. Driving range and behind the wheel driving and observation will be four weeks in length. Students will also obtain a Commercial Drivers License (CDL).
What Jobs Can I Get?
- According to the U.S. Department of labor, "New drivers sometimes start on panel trucks or other small straight trucks. "As drivers gain experience and show competent driving skills, they may advance to larger and heavier trucks, and finally to tractor-trailers."
- Many long haul carriers have training programs available and will accept EITC graduates into their long distance truck driving training programs.
- Some drivers choose to purchase a truck and go into business for themselves becoming owner-operators.
- A few truck drivers may advance to dispatcher, manager, or into training positions with additional experience.
How Long Will it Take?
This program is designed to be completed in a six-weeks, 40-hours per week time frame.
How Much Will It cost?
The course fee for the Professional Truck Driver training program is $3,721.00. Other program costs include textbooks, Department of Transportation (DOT) medical exam, drug test, & CDL fees. These costs are approximately $300. A Post Secondary Certificate is available for a $10 fee.
Why Truck Driving at EITC?
- Avoid traveling to distant training programs - save money by living at home and attending school locally.
- The U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Statistics estimates a rapidly growing nationwide need for qualified commercial truck drivers.
- Attend small classes conducted by professional commercial truck driver training personnel.
- Practice using the latest, most modern tractor-trailer equipment.
Entrance Requirements
Students must possess a valid Idaho driver's license. The state of Idaho requires drivers to be at least 18 years old to drive trucks within its borders. The U.S. Department of Transportation establishes minimum qualifications for truck drivers engaged in interstate commerce. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations require drivers to be at least 21 years old and to pass a physical exam once every 2 years.
Physical Requirements
The main physical requirements include good hearing, at least 20/40 vision with glasses or corrective lenses, and a 70-degree field of vision in each eye. Drivers must be able to distinguish the difference between the colors of red, yellow, and green. Drivers must be able to hear a forced whisper in one ear at not less than 5 feet with a hearing aide if needed. Drivers must have normal use of arms and legs and normal blood pressure.Drivers cannot use any controlled substances, unless prescribed by a licensed physician. Federal regulations require employers to test their drivers for alcohol and drug use as a condition of employment and require random tests while they are on duty.Persons with epilepsy or diabetes controlled by insulin are not permitted to be interstate truck drivers without a special waiver from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).According to DOT regulations, all drivers must be able to read and speak English well enough to read road signs, prepare reports, and communicate with law enforcement officers and the public.

Alberta, Canada mountain biking adventures explore backcountry gravel roads, fire roads, logging roads, cut lines, old railway tracks and single track wilderness trails.
Most of the extreme mountain biking destinations are located in or near, the Rocky Mountain region of Alberta. Plenty of downhill single track routes in the region - some with dirt jumps, rock drops, log rails and a very good chance of running into mud, mosquitoes and amazing scenery.
Most of the major and mid size communities in the province of Alberta have created a network of paved, shale, dirt and/or gravel bike paths for exploring and moving around the community. The mountain bike paths tend to be level, easy going and are ideal for sightseeing in the community.
Some of the major mountain biking destinations and communities in Alberta include shops with bike rentals, lessons and equipment. Some mountain biking communities have created mountain bike parks.
Bike rentals are not available in all biking communities. If you have a mountain bike, try to bring it so to take full advantage of the mountain biking opportunities in the province of Alberta.
There are paved family oriented bike paths and wilderness biking trail routes in Kananaskis Country, Banff National Park and the Jasper National Park.
North of the Rocky Mountains, in the community of Grande Prairie, there are opportunities for biking in Muskoseepi Park and on the Wapiti Trails.
Popular mountain biking trail routes in the Central Alberta region include the Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Area and Whitemud Park in Edmonton; the Willmore Wilderness Park and Sulphur Gates Trails near Grande Cache and the Bighorn Trail and William A. Switzer Park near Hinton. Other mountain biking communities in Central Alberta include Nordegg, Hinton and Red Deer.
Popular mountain biking destinations in the South Alberta region include the Crowsnest Pass region; the River Valley Wilderness Park near Fort Macleod, the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park located southeast of Medicine Hat and the Waterton Lakes National Park in the southwest corner of the province.

LENA (WIFR) -- This year's corn crop is the largest in our nation's history, and one local ethanol plant is ready to take advantage by transforming more of the local corn crop into fuel for our cars and trucks.
Adkins Energy in Lena produces 50 million gallons of ethanol every year using corn grown by Stateline farmers. What's left over from making ethanol is corn oil which is usually sold to other companies to create bio diesel, but now Adkins has the opportunity to build their own bio-diesel plant thanks to a $500,000 federal grant.
"It's a perfect mix for our business, the renewable fuels business. The opportunity to produce another renewable fuel that's coming from the same kernel of corn is a great opportunity to fit in to what we do strategically," says Ray Baker, the general manager at Adkins Energy.
The company believes building the new plant will create dozens of temporary construction jobs, but not everyone's excited about the idea. Some around town worry that using more corn as fuel will drive up food prices. Other neighbors say they look forward to a jolt to the town's economy.
"When they did the bins a few years ago, they had a company come in from North Dakota and they were coming in for supplies and it really helped boost our business," says Matt Strong.
"I think it's a good deal, jobs around here are kind of scarce. I think it'll help bring new people in here and growing a little bit more," says Jeremy Flynn.
The new plant will cost $4.5 million and the company plans to break ground next week.

The Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy
One of the most important pilgrimage sites in Italy are the Sacri Monti, or Sacred Mountains, that are located in the northern part of the country. These mountains are actually nine groups of churches and chapels created in the 16th and 17th centuries. Along with their religious significance these structures are also noteworthy for their architectural features and wealth of amazing art. For these reasons the Sacri Monti were named as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2003.
The Sacri Monti are divided between the Lombardy and Piedmont regions of Italy, with two in Lombardy and seven in Piedmont. These locations are surrounded by majestic dense woods and sparkling lakes, and the structures are filled with beautiful frescoes and statues. The chapels built among the sacred mountains depict various important episodes in Catholic religious life and are filled with religious imagery. The idea of the Sacred Mountain devotional complex built on the slope of a mountain dates back to the late 15thcentury when the idea was popular throughout Europe and eventually spread to the New World.
Mount Belmonte
Mount Belmonte is located above the town of Valpergo in the province of Torino. The mountain looks over the landscape of Piedmont. The idea to create a religious complex in this naturally beautiful area was originally spawned by Friar Michelangelo da Montiglio, who put together a team of artisans to bring his vision to life. Work began in 1712 and took over a century to complete. Inside the complex on Mount Belmonte is a sanctuary that dates back to medieval times and that contains thirteen chapels dedicated to the Passion of Christ. The chapels were built on a circular path surrounded by chestnut and oak trees as well as large rocks that have a pinkish hue.
The architecture of all the chapels is drawn from nature and they have large halls and a circular layout. The Number 1 and Number 8 chapels are the most important as they contain the most artistic work including beautiful terracotta sculptures. Several frescoes used to decorate these buildings have also recently been discovered.
Mount Crea
Mount Crea is one of the highest hills in the area and is located in the Allessandria province. The construction here began in 1589. There is an ancient Marian sanctuary located on Mount Crea along with several chapels dedicated to the triumph of the Madonna. There are a total of 23 chapels built in the 16th, 17th centuries and 19th centuries. The older chapels are decorated with marvellous frescoes and terracotta sculptures by famous artists while the newer chapels have much simpler adornments.
Mount of Domodossola
The sacred Mount of Domodossola is the northernmost of the Sacred Mountains. The path to its complex starts from the center of the town of Domodossola and leads upthe hill. The construction on Domodossola was started in 1656 by the Capuchin monks of the area. The local citizens also contributed substantially to building the complex in terms of labor and money.
The theme around the complex is the Passion of Christ and the episodes of the Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross). The beautiful Sanctuary of the Crucifix, which holds two chapels, was built in 1657. All the other chapels in the area were built in different locations on the mountain. Today there are 15 different chapels located on the sacred mountain that took over two centuries to build. The architectural styles of these structures range from Neoclassical to Baroque.
Mount of the Holy Trinity of Ghiffa
The Mount of the Holy Trinity of Ghiffa is located on the shore of Lake Maggiore in the Verbano Cusio Ossola province. The complex enjoys beautiful views of the lake below and the surrounding mountains. There are three main chapels on the mountain and two small ones that have been joined to the Sanctuary of Via Crucis. The larger chapels were built in 1605 over the remains of an old medieval oratory. In the 18th century various elements were added like frescoes, the portico and the stone columns.
Mount of Oropa
The Mount of Oropa is located close to the city of Biella and its complex was built in 1617 and consists of 12 chapels dedicated to the life of the Virgin. The chapels were built in parallel rows and have varying interior designs and were built in two parallel rows.
Mount of Orta
Located on Orta Lake this mountain has a complex dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. The 12 chapels depict various scenes from the life of the saint. Construction began in the 16th century and took over a century to be completed. The chapels have been decorated with beautiful frescoes, statues and other beautiful works of art.
Mount of Ossuccio
The Mount of Ossuccio is located close to the town of the same name. The construction on this mountain started in 1635 and 15 different chapels were built, dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary. The architecture is mostly Baroque in style and has been decorated with beautiful terracotta and stucco works. The frescoes on the interior walls were painted by several famous artists.
Mount of Varallo
The Mount
Mount of Varese
The sacred Mount of Varese is located above the town of Varese, which is a short drive from Milan. Construction on Mount Varese began in 1604 and, in all, 14 chapels were erected. The wealthy families and nobles of the area contributed heavily and supported the cause allowing the chapels to be built quite quickly.
The Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy are one of the most important religious pilgrimage sites in Europe. The beauty of the area, as well as the architectural and artistic treasures within the churches, make it a wonderful place to visit for non-religious purposes as well.

I've been thinking about blogging a ton lately, but I haven't sat down to do any writing in quite a while. It isn't that I have no inspiration or thoughts to write down.

I get overwhelmed easily. Not in the "this is too much work, I'll never catch up" kind of way, but in the "get me out of here, I can't handle this music, the crowd, the smell of the pumpkins, the ringing of the checkstand" sort of overwhelmed.

You know those sheets of paper that have faces on them, the ones that ask, "how are you feeling today?" I have never understood those.

While I'm on the topic of JAG and that librarian who patiently listened to me, I have one more thing to add: I monologue. It is so embarrassing, but it's a part of me that I've come to accept.

Elementary school was both a blessing and sheer torture. I have always loved learning, and I had exceptional teachers for the most part.

When I was little, my dad used to call me his "little encyclopedia." He might be in a conversation with someone, usually a family member, and say something like, "oh, that happened a few weeks ago."

This is one of many now-famous lines spoken by Sheldon on the popular sitcom The Big Bang Theory. I am a fan of the show, to perhaps more of a level than The Man would like.

I have watched Cal from the R6 Cup, to BSS, BSB, WSS, WSBK, now MotoGP but... Cal has seriously surprised me, I was never a fan but I knew he was a talent but I think last year he has shown how much of a talent he is.
I hope he has a great season this year and you never know if there is a a wet race or a seriously dramatic race where the top 4 don't have a good race then he could become a race winner, never say never in MotoGP!

11/10/2011, Barra/Colomilla
I spent one extra night in La Cruz so I could visit with Tom And Barbara on Hooligan There launching was postponed because of travel-lift problems. Sailed out of La Cruz while the weather window was still good. It was an uneventful overnighter and the wind was lighter than expected. As I was starting my entrance to the lagoon in Barra, a panga pulled up alongside of me. I looked over and saw that it was Enrique, Yoanas' dad, just coming in from a morning of fishing. This is the first time I was greeted by a friend as I was making landfall. As I was motoring down the channel I looked way ahead to the lagoon and there was no cruisers there....I was the first cruiser to arrive this season. I've been here 3 days and there still isn't another cruiser in the anchorage....It's very lonely here....even a little spooky. Normally, we have to jockey around for the best spot to anchor, but I had the pick and of course I took my regular spot at the Isla. I took a bus to Manzanillo to do my banking and really enjoyed the day. I don't know if I will like having my car down here because taking the bus from place to place is enjoyable and inexpensive. Because of the hurricane that just passed through here a few weeks ago, the bug infestation is horrendous. I'm sitting here at Mary's restaurant on the lagoon and having a delicious Dorado Mexicana dinner while the bugs are eating me. Sunday or Monday should see me travelling north by bus and Tom's car to retrieve my car and all the paint and supplies for the torture I'm about to indulge in. The photo is of the Sea-Masters restaurant that slid into the ocean because of the hurricane.
Did Sea-Masters slide into the ocean or was it undermined?

Left Chacala after only one night because, yes, that's right, I on a mission. Had a nice ride down the coast and around the corner at Punta Mita. Entered Banderas Bay and was greeted with a red tide. It was a red tide all the way down to La Cruz. My friends Barbara and Tom on Hooligan are splashing their boat today at 4pm at Opequimar in Puerto Vallarta. I will visit with them tomorrow for a short time and pull out of here Monday morning for another.....that's right...you guessed it..OVERNIGHTER for Barra De Navidad. The reason for coming all the way into Banderas Bay was to visit them and get a nice meal. Well the meal is out tonight because I didn't fix the air leak in the inflatible the way I should have. So I just finished fixing the leak and it has to sit overnight before I can put air pressure on it. Tonights' dinner....Chili and grilled cheese. The suffering I go through to put on this great illusion of the fabulous cruising lifestyle.
11/05/2011, La Cruz De Huanacastle
Left the anchorage at Pujero Island in front lf hotel row Mazatlan early in the morning for ANOTHER overnighter to Chacala. I will sail by Isla Isabella and San Blas because I'm on a mission to get to Barra. On the way down the coast I noticed my prop shaft vibrating, so I put it in reverse to see if I could shake off anything that coould be on the prop. No luck. So I stopped the boat and dropped sail and went diving in the 86 degree water and sure enough it was a heavy piece of plastic sheeting. Cut it off and climbed out of the water and presto...smooth running shaft. At least that dive wasn't in the middle of the night with the boat tossing around a rough sea. A couple hours later I was checking my sail and I spotted my sail track broke and lifted up pulling a half dozen screws out. So into my trusty bin of gadgets to fix that problem. Three hose clamps and about 20 minutes later problem solved. And to think that my son laughs at me for all the duck tape, chewing gum, and instant glue that I purchase. Can you say McGyver? I'll post the plastic and repair jobs in the gallery. Pulled into my tropical anchorage of Chacala and went ashore. I visited with a Enlish girl married to a Mexican from Guadalajara and operates a restaurant/palapa on the beach. They have excellent food and were written up in the Oct.18 edition of The Log, a southern California boating newspaper. I had a delicious Mahi Mahi dinner and relaxed for the night. Oh yeah, the name of the place is Chac Mool.
We saw several Chac Mool statues at Chichen Itza. Neat name for a restaurant.

Summary:If Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy had played it safe, he might have been golfing on the pro tour instead of giving lessons at a driving range in the tiny West Texas town of Salome. And he wouldn't be sacrificing his dignity to David Simms, a PGA star and longtime rival, by accepting a job as his caddie. Roy should have controlled what his best friend, Romeo Posar, called his "inner demons." When Dr. Molly Griswold walked onto his green, he should have settled for giving the lady psychologist golf lessons and never allowed himself to fall in love with her. But something about Molly's rational mind, her sharp wit, and her long legs makes it clear to Tin Cup that once again, he's not going to play it saf... Full Summary >>

Three arrested in Lewes burglary, two sought
Delaware State Police arrested three people and are searching for two others in connection with an early morning burglary in Lewes Sept. 13.
Someone entered a home on Nottingham Drive in Sussex East by climbing through an unlocked window, said Cpl. Jeffrey Hale of the Delaware State Police.
Once inside, Hale said, the person removed several electronic items valued at more than $1,500 and credit cards before fleeing. The homeowners were asleep during the burglary and reported the items missing when they awoke, Hale said.
After calling to cancel a credit card, one of the homeowners was told that the card was used for purchases at the Georgetown Walmart. Police pulled surveillance footage of four people from the Walmart video, Hale said.
Police later observed a man and woman walking in the Patterson Place development of Georgetown who matched the description of two of the people on the Walmart tape. One had a cellphone that was stolen from the Lewes home, Hale said.
Police arrested Gary Klaft, 27, of Millsboro, Peggy Kachnovitz, 46, of Lewes and Jeffrey Kabino, 39, of Georgetown and charged them with second-degree burglary, theft, attempted unlawful use of a credit card, unlawful use of a credit card and second-degree conspiracy. Kachnovitz also was charged with identity theft and released on $15,000 unsecured bail. Klaft and Kabino were committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in default of $9,000.
Police are searching for Melissa Kabino, 33, and Byron Martin, 27, both of Millsboro. Anyone with information on their whereabouts is asked to call 856-5850, 1-800-TIP-3333, visit www.tipsubmit.com, or text 274637.

Sweet baked treats baked with strawberry pie filling, then topped with powdered sugar.
These come from the Magnolia Bakery cookbook, More From Magnolia: Recipes from the World Famous Bakery.
For those who never heard of them, Magnolia Bakery is well known here in New York City.
Their cupcakes are a guilty pleasure I occasionally treat myself to... red velvet anyone?
I recently saw this posted on My Kitchen Adventure, and when I saw she calculated the points and they were only
3 points each, I knew I had to make these. My only change was swapping out the cherry pie filling for strawberry filling,
but any pie filling would work.
0 people want to try | 2 have favorited
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray Baking Pam in a 13 x 9- inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter with the granulated sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla. Add the flour and mix thoroughly.
Spread the dough evenly in the prepared pan. With a small, sharp knife (or toothpick), score into twenty-four 2-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of pie filling in the center of each scored square. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the pan comes out clean. Cool to room temperature, then sprinkle with confectioner's sugar before cutting and serving.

Helping A Child Can Get You ArrestedSierra Black
In a ridiculous abduction case going on in Florida, a 14-year-old boy has been arrested for "kidnapping" a 3-year-old girl because he tried to help her find her mother after coming across her lost in a department store.
Edwin, who the Sun Sentinel identifies only by his first name, was shopping with his mother when he saw a little girl wandering alone looking for her mom. Surveillance videos captured what happened next: Edwin spoke to the little girl, and offered to help her find her mom. He got his own mother involved, and the two of them began looking for the girl's mom.
Seeing a group of women standing outside the door, in the mall, Edwin walked out of the store with the little girl following to see if her mom was among them. She wasn't, so they returned to the store, where they located the mother and returned the child.
End of story, right? Wrong.
In the meantime, the mom had urged a store employee to call 911, and when police arrived on the scene, they arrested Edwin for kidnapping and led him out of the mall in handcuffs, paraded in front of TV reporters.
As the Sun Sentinel's editorial puts it:
Edwin is quite the kidnapper. He brings his mom along. He hangs out in front of the store until the victim's mother shows up. And then he returns to the store and starts shopping for shoes.
That's one cool customer.
The mom, of course, declined to press charges. But the state is going ahead.
This is exactly the kind of cultural hysteria that makes de facto prisoners of us all. When an older child can't offer to help a younger one get back to her mom without risking prison time for a deplorable crime, something is grossly out of balance in our culture.
We spend so much time focusing on the rare tragedies of stranger abductions that we neglect more real dangers to kids. I'm not just talking about drowning or being hit by lightning or dying in a plane crash, all of which are more likely than being abducted.
I'm talking about the danger of growing up in a disconnected world, learning to trust no one and assume every new face you see belongs to an enemy. That a hand extended to help is probably being proffered by a criminal. That an offer of help is a crime.
These are not the lessons I want to teach my kids. I want them to grow up in a world where people are more inclined to help than harm, where they can trust their instincts and make connections. What's more, I believe that's the world they are growing up in. I think most people do want to help each other, and most of us especially want to help children.
I'm not saying there aren't sick, dangerous people in the world. But they're about as common as natural disasters. I'm no more inclined to teach my kids to live in fear of them than I am to move inland because every ten years or so Boston gets whacked with a hurricane.

BOULDER, Colorado, February 7. A little less than a year after traveling to the Caribbean Sea to film the documentary "The Current," Paralympian Mallory Weggemann and Olympian Missy Franklin will have the opportunity to see themselves on the big screen at the February 16 world premiere at the Boulder International Film Festival.
Weggemann and Franklin are scheduled to attend the premiere, which will also feature director Kurt Miller. The film highlights the abilities of disabled athletes such as Weggemann using water-based sports to find freedom in movement and persevering through the limitations imposed on their disabilities.
Weggemann and Franklin traveled to Bimini and the Bahamas in March 2013, where Miller filmed them scuba diving with dolphins. Franklin's participation with the film is as ambassador for the Make-A-Hero campaign.
The 45-minute documentary is scheduled to make its world debut at 3 p.m. at Boulder High School. Click here to purchase tickets.

I remember how much my ex-girlfriend hated me for the amount of money I spent on books and not being able to afford a nice date.
Please give us a brief bio of yourself.
I am 25 years old, a graduate of Cal State University, Long Beach with a Bachelors in Computer Science.
Prior to this I attained an Associate's Degree in Mathematics with emphasis in Physics from Ecole Preparatoire aux Academies Militaires in Tunisia.
I am fluent in English, French, Arabic and currently learning Spanish.
What do you do for inspiration?
Listen to Music and read books.
Please list 3 of your favorite sites.
1- I am a Google fanatic so I will start with google.com.
2- Comcastic.com is a two thumbs up site!
3- Perfectdarkzero.com is a marketing trend that is re-shaping the industry! [ Article: Page R6, Wall Street Journal, November 21, 2005]
What do you regard as being your biggest achievement?
I was hired by PixelPushers to develop the PEAK's software with which students can "map their homes," simulate various energy use strategies and best practices, and develop customized household energy plans with their families in an effort to achieve shared savings.
Currently, the PEAK's software is being used in Santa Monica Malibu, Desert Sands, Irvine, Moreno Valley , San Bernardino City , and Corona Norco Unified School Districts, as well as in Northern Illinois , Chicago Catholic Schools , San Diego County, and Nacka and Gothenburg, Sweden.
I would like to mention the great support of the Art Director Matthew Newman and the Project Manager Mark Kelly.
What software couldn't you live without?
Can you imagine life without search engines?
What projects do you have in the pipeline?
Little things here and there, nothing big to mention.
Who is your target audience?
All internet users as long as they have Flash player installed. :)
I make sure the design is beautiful and well thought of, so ordinary web users will find my website's to be an enjoyable experience.
I integrate Flash and other technologies for those geeks out there looking for new ideas to help them get inspired.
What area of web design lacks the most?
Great question Rob! The list is actually long but I am going to mention the two most important things:
1- Accessibility: I wish one day, all web designers will become more responsible and the first question they ask themselves will be: How can I make a cool _globally accessible_ website?
My bros at AKQA are aware if this problem and are working toward having most if not all our projects globally accessible.
2- Content: My biggest pet peeve is beautiful WebPages that have no content.
What did your very first site look like? Is it still online?
Hehe, you don't want to see my first site. :)
Have you written any books, if not do you plan to?
Not yet, but I would like to in the future.
Do you think Flash is here to stay?
Not sure, most of us have heard about Microsoft's new Sparkle, according to Microsoft fans it will replace Macromedia Flash.
On the other hand, Macromedia's Flash development team is working on the new version of the industry standard multimedia development tool scheduled for release in 2007.
People might have different opinions about whether or not Flash is here to stay, but we all agree that it did change the web at one point.
What are your views on design/graphic school. Do you think someone can get into the field without educational experience in a school environment?
I am a big fan of education and school and I think schools are very important because they teach a lot more than just how to use the design tools.
However, books can be an alternative for those designers who can't attend school for whatever reason.
How have you learned so many Flash/design skills and techniques and can you offer any advice for newbies?
I've learned all my Flash skills from reading books.
I remember how much my ex-girlfriend hated me for the amount of money I spent on books and not being able to afford a nice date.
For the newbies out there, the best advice I can give you besides reading books is when you use a new code, go through it, read it carefully and understand each line of code, that way you can reproduce the same code later by yourself.
What is the most expensive thing you've bought in the last week?
A round trip plane ticket to New York, leaving from San Francisco.
What type of overcoat do you wear when Flashing, basically are you a labels man?
I am getting there!
Any parting shots or pearls of wisdom?
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? (Gandhi)
It's been a privilege, thanks very much.
It has been a pleasure. Thank you!

Employment Law
Employment Law Questions? Ask an Employment Lawyer.
Thank you for your question today, I look forward to assisting you. I bring nearly 20 years of legal experience in various disciplines.
A warrant is not necessary, because an employer is not the government or the police. The rules concerning illegal search and seizure do not apply to them.
They can ask to measure the skirt and if the person lets them measure the skirt, meaning that the employer doesn't physically have to hold the person against their willing to force the measuring, then it isn't any recognized form of assault either.
Just on the facts you've mentioned, it sounds like an uptight employer forcibly maintaining a stupid standard, but that doesn't make the action illegal.
Thank you. XXXXX think the action was based upon my age (over 40) rather than any actual violation of the dress code. The dress code says 3 inches from the kneecap. Mine was 2.
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX actually doing that but wanted to know if measuring my hemline was legal or not. Thank you for your time.
No problem. It can be legal, but if you are being treated differently than others based on your age, that takes a legal action into the realm of discrimination.
Take care.
I also believe that I have been denied promotion based upon my age. (My dept. manager is younger than I) Last week were were called into the manager's office and informed that my office mate was receiving her third promotion in five years, based upon the fact that she was already doing the tasks for her new position and that it was just a recognition of that fact. I found that interesting since I have worked for the company 16 years and been doing the tasks normally expected of a senior staff or manager person for several years, but have been told that those tasks are "just expected" of me and the company doesn't want to create a new "title or position". Those tasks are not included in my job description and the other people who are doing the same job do not have those same expectations placed upon them. For example, I am the person who trains new personnel in the online system, I am the "go-to" person for questions and for trouble-shooting the online system. These tasks are normally associated with a senior person, but I have been repeatedly denied that position.

New rules require mortgage lenders to begin issuing "good faith estimates" to borrowers explaining loan fees and settlement charges.
This means borrowers fees must be identical from application-time to closing.
23 News Real Estate expert Terry Bloom says the rules will help us better understand the terms of our mortgage... And make it easier to compare loans from different lenders.
" It creates more of an opportunity for the mortgage lender and the client to discuss it. the goal is for the client to actually understand what they are being charged what the interest rate is and what their closing is going to look like and its being regulated to the point where there is going to be very little variance to that,"
Once the Good Faith Estimate is written... Borrowers have eight days to lock in the interest rate specified on the agreement.

A Map Of All Major Marvel Characters' Hometowns
Note: Larger version of the map HERE.
This is a map created by Movoto highlighting the hometowns of major Marvel superheroes and villains. Amazingly, they forgot to include Santa from the North Pole. "Santa is not a Marvel superhero." Oh really? Then how do you explain THIS MINT COPY OF SANTA'S ADVENTURES #1? "That's a coloring book." So it's probably not worth the $650 I paid for it is what you're saying.
Thanks to CL, who is from space like Superman.

Wedding Traditions from Around the World
In Chinese weddings, the bride typically wears three dresses. The first dress is usually a fitted red gown that she wears at the beginning of the ceremony. Red symbolizes good fortune in Chinese culture, so this color is important in bringing a lifetime of abundance to the couple. The second dress, a white ball gown is similar to what brides in Western culture wear. Finally, the bride may don a more casual dress for the reception.
In Indian culture, the friends and family of the bride may decorate her hands and forearms in henna, a type of temporary dye that stains the skin and can last for up to two weeks. This intricate designing can take up to hours to complete, and the process usually takes place the night before the wedding.
During slavery, marriages between slaves were often forbidden. The couple would marry in secret, with only their closest family and friends present. They would use a straw broom, jumping over it to symbolize the transition from single to married life. This tradition is still commonly used in African American weddings.
A sweet tradition, the Peruvian cake pull is a favorite of single female wedding guests. The wedding cake features ribbons that are inserted into the cake. Each of the single guests is invited to pull one ribbon from the cake. One of the ribbons contains a gold "ring," and tradition has it that the woman who pulls that ring will be the next to get married.
In Russia, the groom isn't simply handed his bride-to-be during the ceremony. He must work for her affections and that of her family. The groom will often arrive at the bride's home on the night before the wedding, where he will be required to pay a "ransom" for his wife. He is required to bring small gifts, answer riddles and perform silly tasks like diapering a fake baby. Only then is he allowed to proceed with the marriage.
In Jamaica, it literally takes a village to marry a couple. During Jamaican wedding ceremonies, the entire village gathers to witness the processional of the bride to the ceremony. If she is not looking her absolute best, she can be subject to public scorn.
In Germany, families take great steps to prepare for the financial expense of the wedding. The family will prepare a newspaper which gives details of the couple's lives and love story, and sell this paper to the wedding guests to pay for the honeymoon.
In Malaysian ceremonies, the bride and groom often sit on thrones and feed each other rice throughout the ceremony. The rice is meant to symbolize fertility. Each guest is given an intricately painted egg, which also represents fertility.
The United States
In Medieval times, guests of the wedding thought it good luck to take pieces of the bride's dress and bouquet. After the ceremony, they would often rip the bride's clothing to shreds, leaving her exposed. Grooms decided that the best way to prevent this was to voluntarily give part of the bride's attire to eager guests. Now, grooms in traditional Western wedding ceremonies often remove the bride's garter and throw it to the bachelors in the audience.
There are many ways to join two couples, and the wedding traditions from around the world are the perfect illustration of this concept.

Day one
Supreme Court | Religious rally creates a circus outside while first arguments over the healthcare law go on inside the court
WASHINGTON-On Monday morning, George Washington University student Chris Crawford sat on the sidewalk outside the U.S. Supreme Court after waiting up all night for a chance to go inside to hear oral arguments over the national healthcare law passed in 2010.
"I came to witness history," he said, pulling out his rations for the day: a loaf of bread and some apples. He's not drinking much water because he doesn't want to have to leave his spot in line to go to a restroom. "This is one of the biggest cases of my lifetime."
The court has scheduled three days of arguments over the healthcare law, lasting about two hours per day. Crawford had a chance to go inside the court Monday, but because Monday's arguments were supposed to be on the boring side, he decided to wait through another (potentially freezing) night outside for a chance to sit in on Tuesday, when arguments will focus on the constitutionality of the mandate to buy health insurance.
Monday was an arcane-but vital-discussion (download a PDF of the court's transcript) of whether anyone could sue over the law because no one has paid penalties for noncompliance yet. That concern springs from the Anti-Injunction Act, which prohibits lawsuits from hindering the collection of taxes until individuals have actually paid the taxes. So the question was whether the penalties assessed under the healthcare law count as taxes.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., who argued on behalf of the administration, said the case presented "issues of great moment" that the court should consider now, not after the penalties take effect, and the justices seemed inclined to agree that the case should move forward. Some lawyers predicted before Monday's arguments that the justices might dodge a political bullet by deferring a decision on the law until after this year's presidential election.
The Obama administration has taken different positions on this specific issue. In lower courts, its lawyers argued essentially that the penalties under the healthcare law did count as taxes. That would prohibit lawsuits until 2015, when people would begin paying penalties under the law. But the administration dropped that argument as the cases progressed, deciding that it wanted the courts to go ahead and decide the constitutionality of the law. Since none of the parties in the case wanted the case delayed until 2015, the court called in an outside lawyer to argue that the parties didn't have standing to sue.
Outside the Supreme Court building, a noisy circus of protestors, complete with trombones, trumpets, and cowbells, crammed into a small rectangle of sidewalks, where some unfortunate yellow pansies were trampled. The supporters of the law were well-organized and several hundred strong, some wearing Obama campaign buttons. Several news outlets reported that the White House had met with proponents of the law-including religious leaders-in early March to coordinate support during the Supreme Court arguments.
Critics of the law were sparse outside the court, though Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum came to the court steps and eviscerated the law right in the middle of the chanting, pro-healthcare law crowd. About half-a-dozen pro-life supporters stood in a line along the front steps of the court, with red tape over their mouths that said "LIFE." The group, Bound4Life, prays outside the Supreme Court every day.
"We're praying for the ending of abortion," said Matt Lockett, the group's executive director, who added that the healthcare law would expand the number of abortions.
A group of religious leaders from mostly mainline denominations-United Methodist, United Church of Christ, and the Presbyterian Church (USA)-rallied on the court steps in support of the healthcare bill. Some Catholics were at the rally, too. "Our sisters know what happens on the ground for those who don't have healthcare," said Sister Regina McKillop, with Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic women's relief organization. "I think we have a lot more credibility than the bishops because we've been on the ground."
"Who are you?" a woman asked one of the religious protestors.
"We support the bill. Isn't that great?" responded a protestor holding a "People of faith for healthcare" sign.
"No!" the woman returned. "We can't afford it!"
"Can I talk to you later?" the protestor said. "We're people of faith and this is a prayer vigil."
"I'm a person of faith," the woman huffed. "And we can't afford this."
"Can you respect the people who are praying?" the protestor replied, and then turned her back on the woman. The faith rally protestors began singing "This Little Light of Mine," and the woman stormed away. "I'm so mad," she said.
The faith rally turned ugly when Santorum showed up, along with his daughter Elizabeth and son Daniel. One man yelled, "How can you not give healthcare to a child, Santorum? That's not Christian!" Another yelled, "Would Jesus take away your healthcare?" The crowd chanted, "Healthcare is a human right!" drowning out Santorum's comments, in which he criticized in the same breath the new healthcare law and the Massachusetts healthcare law under then-Gov. Mitt Romney.
What happened outside the court was all theater-what mattered was inside. The justices indicated that they were willing to move forward and decide the merits of the law, but several of the justices wondered why the government had gone back and forth on its position on whether the penalty was a tax or not.
"Today you are arguing that the penalty is not a tax," Justice Samuel Alito said to Solicitor General Verrilli. "Tomorrow you are going to be back and you will be arguing that the penalty is a tax."
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg added, "It seems to me that this is arming the government by saying [the Anti-Injunction Act is] waivable at the government's option."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked whether people who don't buy health insurance and pay a penalty are in violation of the law-meaning for example that those on probation who pay the penalty would have their release revoked.
"That is not a correct reading of the statute," Verrilli responded. "The only consequence that ensues is the tax penalty."
Then Justice Elena Kagan followed up, asking whether someone who had paid the penalty would have to respond "yes" to a question about whether he or she had violated federal law. Verrilli said no, but "if they don't pay the tax, they violated a federal law. … If they pay the tax, then they are in compliance with the law."
Justice Stephen Breyer stopped Verrilli, asking, "Why do you keep saying tax?"
"If they pay the tax penalty, they're in compliance with the law," Verrilli corrected himself.
"Thank you," Breyer said. "The penalty."
"Right," said Verrilli.
Chief Justice John Roberts seemed ready to move forward and concluded after 90 minutes, "We will continue argument in this case tomorrow."

Suppose I have a div as such:
This is a paragraph
written by someone
on the internet.
The problem is that when JSoup parses this, it puts it all on one line, so that when I call text() it reads as such:
This is a paragraphwritten by someoneon the internet.
Now, I realize this isn't really a JSoup problem, in that the actual html doesn't contain a space. However, is there any way to use JSoup (perhaps some override or maybe an option I haven't seen) so that as it parses it will add a space between lines? I imagine it must be possible (as I can inspect element in Chrome and unselect word wrap and it gets what I want) but I'm not sure JSoup can do this.
Any thoughts?

metipranolol - ophthalmic, Optipranolol (cont.)
HOW TO USE: To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before using eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes before replacing your contact lenses.Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch, usually twice daily or as directed by your doctor. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before using the other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it.

It is rare for distinguished foreign guests to take such a stance: Nevertheless, in 2005, Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan acted in a similar manner. Former French President Jacques Chirac also refused to wear a yarmulke, however settled for a hat.
Samaras is visiting Israel
together with eight Greek ministers in charge of foreign affairs, internal security, energy, education, culture, tourism, shipping and development ministers. During his visit, 10 agreements were signed between Israel in Greece in the above fields.

Media and politics Twittering in the UK
Over the last month or so I've started following a few unusual 'people' on Twitter (follow me on twitter here). In addition to friends, colleagues and people who work in similar areas to me, I'm now also following the Prime Minister's Office, the BBC, Channel Four's newsroom and the Channel Four news blogger. The best of these are the Channel Four and Prime Minister's twitter feeds – they actually feel as though they are written by a real person and offer commentary on what's happening. The BBC feeds by contrast are little more than an different way of getting their headlines out…
What interests me most about all of this Twitter activity is that all four of these people are now following me too. It may be because I was a relatively early follower, but I hope it's not. My updates are not necessarily of world importance, and I'm unlikely to break many news stories. But if Channel Four, the BBC or the Prime Minister's office follow everybody who follows them then this will undoubtedly become an incredible resource for them. And for me, it gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) that I am entering into an exchange with them. True engagement in a way that was never possible before.
Twitter use is growing – in the US it's growing at a rate of 800% year-on-year. More corporations should be using it to engage with their customers and stakeholders. Whether just to learn what is going on in their lives or for more business-oriented tasks. Imagine the power of a customer service function via Twitter for example. Or as a way of transmitting information in times of emergency. Both possibilities that are emerging.

text: I am looking to build or buy a new AR style rifle chambered in .308. Anyone have any suggestions on Manufacturer, Barel Length/Twist, Fluted or Bull, Etc.. I will be using it mostly for long range target/SHF practice with quick follow up shots and rapid adjustment changes in windage and yardage? I had a RRA Predator Pursuit 5.56/.223 with a 20"Bull, 1:8 twist that would drive tacks at 100yds with the right ammo (Even surplus 62gr "Green Tips" would hold decent 2" groups) But I wanted something with a little more range and knockdown power. Because of a childhood accident I cannot hold a rifle stock (unless thumb-holed) correctly enough to be very efficent so an M1 style rifle is out . I have been looking at RRA, DPMS, Armalite, Etc.. I have owned RRA in the past so I am kinda leaning that direction but the DPMS and Armalite SASS rifles look pretty sweet.. I just don't know enough about the .308 round/ballistics to make an educated guess when dropping $2,000 on a new rifle! Any suggestions??

Correspondence between Jewish French army officer and his wife during his imprisonment are presented in Israel for the first time as part of a new exhibition.
Kobi Nachshoni
Published: 02.18.14, 00:50 / Israel Jewish Scene
Kobi Nachshoni
The correspondence between Dreyfus and his wife began upon his imprisonment in 1894 and continued until his return from Devil's Island in 1899. One of the particularly emotional letters is the one he wrote to her on January 31, 1895, after a degradation ceremony he went through, during which his ranks were removed.
"When will I be able to kiss you, and find in your deep love the strength I need to reach the end of this horrible suffering?" Dreyfus wrote to his loved one. "Kiss everyone on my behalf, kisses to our darlings. I kiss you as I love you."
In 1899, after Dreyfus returned from his imprisonment and was waiting in a military jail for his second trial, his wife wrote to him: "My dear Alfred, for four years I have been struggling, praying and hoping for the arrival of this blessed day. I have prepared for this excitement, I wanted to be strong and not to break down in any way. We both needed superhuman efforts to focus and stretch our nerves, in order to endure this huge trial courageously."
"I wanted to tell you a thousand good things, to tell you about the children, about our relatives, about all those we both love, but I was afraid to hurt you if I gave you more issues to be excited about."
"Over the years, the question of Dreyfus' survival in the inconceivable conditions he was imprisoned in has been raised more than once. A person who in addition to the serious physical torture he went through, also suffered from terrible mental humiliation. Today we know that Lucie played an important role in maintaining Alfred's sanity, as he was chained to a bed most hours of the day.

Hezbollah demands 'the right of Lebanon and the Lebanese people to self-defense and to the resistance against the Israeli enemy' be enshrined in new Lebanese cabinet's official agenda
Published: 03.02.14, 00:13 / Israel News
Lebanon's newly formed government still needs to publish its ministerial statement – a statement outlining the government's formation and agenda – and Hezbollah is demanding it include resistance to Israel.
The statement must be approved by Lebanon's parliament, and its failure to pass is equivalent to a vote of non-confidence.

Plow it and bikes will come.
Spring in Grand Teton National Park can be difficult. The ranger-led snowshoe tours end mid March, but the road through the park remains closed to cars until May 1.
What's a visitor to do? Follow the lead of locals, of course, who rank this as one of the best times to visit the park. Why? Because even though hiking trails are still buried beneath literally feet of snow and none of the concessions or lodges are yet open, 15 miles of the road—the prettiest 15 miles in my opinion—belong entirely to bikers, runners, rollerbladers, stroller-pushers, skateboarders, pogo stick-ers—any non-motorized form of locomotion is welcome.
It's just too nice (and novel) to ride in the middle of the road and not keep an eye out for cars . . . especially when you're cycling past Jenny Lake, the Cathedral Group section of majestic peaks along the horizon, and across Cottonwood Creek.
It all started in March 1977, although former GTNP Superintendent Jack Neckels didn't necessarily realize at the time that he was starting a tradition. Neckels just knew the Inner Park Loop Road needed several weeks to "dry out" before its annual May 1 re-opening to cars, which meant plowing it in mid-March. The road didn't need to be dry for bikers and hikers, however, so Neckels suggested they come and enjoy it.
Scores of people took him up on the offer.
In 1992, after the road surface was improved and it no longer required a drying out period, park staff briefly considered ending the tradition. To call the community response an "uproar" would be an understatement. Ever since, no one has suggested doing away with—or even altering—the tradition.
The 15-mile section is between the Bradley/Taggart Lakes Trailhead and Signal Mountain Lodge. Fitzgerald's Bicycles [2] in Jackson (245 West Hansen Avenue; (307) 734-6886) rents bikes. Read up on road conditions at www.nps.gov/grte/planyourvisit/roads.htm [3]. You can call the park at (307) 739-3300.
Dina Mishev's article, "An Insider's Guide to Grand Teton National Park," can be found in VIA's 2011 spring edition [4] in the Mountain West region, comprising Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.
This article was first published in February 2011. Some facts may have aged gracelessly. Please call ahead to verify information.

No one's sure exactly how many deer live in Missoula?s city limits. But now the City Council wants to know. They're looking at possible plans to keep the urban deer population down. Some want to see the city copy what Helena does, where deer and trapped and killed, but not everyone agrees.
City Councilman John Wilkins has seen firsthand the problems urban deer can cause.
?I do realize it happens, and in an instance right in this yard, we had to call fish and game because on got hit by a car and it had broken leg,? said Wilkins.
That's why he and other members of Missoula City Council are looking at ways to cut down the urban deer population.
One plan they're researching is one similar to what Helena?s been using for the last four years. They have 12 traps around the city. Once trapped, they kill the deer and then donate the meat.
?I think that'd be a good idea,? said Missoula resident Julie Jenkins.
Jenkins has lived in Missoula?s Rattlesnake area for 11 years. She says the deer are always around, at home and at work?Rattlesnake Elementary School.
?We're a little bit concerned about the deer problem on the playground when there are children out there...the deer are really tame and you just can't trust an animal,? said Jenkins.
She's ready for things to change. ?There's getting to be quite a few deer in town, and more than what we need.?
May Conley says there are deer in her neighborhood too, on Orange Street. But she doesn't think killing them is the answer.
?I think killing them is way too extreme,? said Conley.
She has other ideas. ?I think if it came down to it, maybe having better city limit boundaries with more fences like they have along 93 coming into town, that's something we could look at,? she said.
Councilman Wilkins says it's input like this that will help the city find a solution. ?It's totally up to the public on how they want to react to this issue.?
But there's still a lot of work to be done. Council members say they're researching the costs associated with the trapping program. They?re also looking into other options.
Wilkins said they plan to discuss urban deer again next month. In the meantime, they?re asking for public input.
