My Pick This Week
This week Huckberry went for a lawn/pool games theme that features an eclectic assortment of stuff for having fun outside this summer. Obviously aimed at those who live outside the Midwest, for whom "fun" and "outside" and "summer" do not constitute a contradiction in terms.
But for me the best thing in this week's store is the chance to sign up for the GORUCK Challenge at a discount. The GORUCK Challenge is an intense, Special Operations-inspired, team-oriented, 8-10 hour, 15-20 mile guided tour of your city. It starts late at night or in the early morning (like 1:00 am), and goes into daylight. You perform a series of missions patterned after your guide's military experience, all while hauling around six bricks in your backpack, carrying heavy things like logs, and doing lots of running, push-ups, and other physical exercises. The challenge is designed to build camaraderie, teach leadership, and stretch your capabilities.
The GORUCK Challenge was founded by a Green Beret, and $10 of every GORUCK entry fee goes to The Green Beret Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides unconventional support to wounded Green Berets, their families, and Gold Star family members of killed Green Berets.
My brother and I are going to be doing our first GORUCK challenge in Oklahoma City on Saturday, November 24 (10:00 pm start time). I'd love to get some area AoM readers to join us and get an Art of Manliness team going. If you've ever wanted to see the founder of AoM cry like a little girl in the middle of a cold November night, here's your chance!

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed his team faces the prospect of being disqualified for the second successive grand prix.
A fortnight ago Daniel Ricciardo was excluded from the classification of the Australian Grand Prix after finishing runner-up on his debut for the team in front of his home crowd.
Motor sport's world governing body the FIA claims Ricciardo's car "consistently exceeded" the maximum allowed fuel flow of 100 kilograms per hour as part of the sport's new regulations for this season in its bid to be greener.
Horner argues that the technology is "immature", and launched an appeal which will be heard at the FIA's Paris headquarters on April 14.
Red Bull suffered another failure of the fuel-flow sensor in practice for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix. The sensor has been manufactured by a UK company and the FIA claims it has been rigorously tested.
Although the sensor was replaced, Horner was unable to ratify his team's position should there be a repeat this weekend of what unfolded at Albert Park.
"We had a signal failure on Daniel's car on Friday morning, immediately," said Horner.
"We replaced that for the afternoon session, and hopefully it reads as per the fuel rail (a device that delivers fuel to the injectors in an engine), and will behave for the rest of the weekend."
Asked what the plan would be if it did not work, Horner added: "If it doesn't then we will find ourselves in an awkward situation.
"We will try to work with the FIA, but then you are faced with the same dilemma as occurred in Australia a couple of weeks ago.
"We'll have a conversation with (FIA technical director) Charlie (Whiting) beforehand so it will be clear if we do see a variance, 'right, what are we going to do?'
"Hopefully we can agree something that's sensible."
Horner is adamant the appeal Red Bull are making is "not a frivolous claim", citing his confidence that they "have a very strong case".
Horner believes the FIA should scrap the system altogether.
"When you've a variance and an inconsistency in a sensor like this then we need to look at a more robust system," added Horner.
"The biggest thing out of this, irrelevant of the hearing, is we need a better way of measuring and monitoring the fuel, or get rid of it entirely and say 'you've 100 kilos (of fuel) and that's your lot'.
"That would be the easiest thing for the FIA and the teams because the fuel-flow restriction is only really for qualifying as you can't go to stupid revs in the race if you have a limitation on fuel.
"I think it's something that will be discussed with the technical guys."
FIA head of powertrain Fabrice Lom, with the aid of a whiteboard and a felt-tip pin, on Friday provided a debrief as to the workings of the fuel-flow sensor.
Lom claimed the ultrasonic technology was at a level where it is "quite accurate", with 92 per cent of the systems passing muster, with the other eight per cent rejected by the FIA as being deemed not good enough.
"We are working every day to improve the system, with our target to be as fair as possible," said Lom.
"I admit I am a person (who is) not easily satisfied, and this is how you make progress.
"But with this sensor we do a much better job (of monitoring fuel flow) than without it by far.
"I have no question it is more than needed, and much better than anything else I know about, but now we need to improve it."
In practice, Australian GP winner Nico Rosberg emerged quickest, but with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and reigning four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel breathing down his neck.
The early championship pace-setter posted a lap time in his Mercedes of one minute 39.909 seconds, with Raikkonen 0.035secs adrift and Vettel 0.061secs down.
Lewis Hamilton was fastest in first practice for Mercedes but was fourth at the end of FP2, 0.142secs behind Rosberg.
McLaren's Jenson Button was three-quarters of a second down in seventh, with Marussia's Max Chilton 3.7secs back in 18th.

So, folks have talked about the Bloody Mess cake we did, and a number of people asked about it and how we did it and so forth, so I figured I'd go ahead and explain how it came to be.
My wife occasionally watches this show 'Ace of Cakes' about a company in Baltimore, Charm City Cakes, that makes really cool cakes. (The show largely centers on Duff, who owns the place and is the head chef and so forth.) So one day I'm watching the show with her and Duff is making a cake for his dad's birthday and it's this surprise cake he made him that was a rocket, or a plane, or something…it's not important.
What is important is he had some kind of fireworks in part of it, which he lit at one point to make it look like it was flying, and that's when I got the idea to do a Bloody Mess cake. Bloody Mess is one of my favorite things about Fallout. It's just so meaningless; no gameplay purpose whatsoever. Just more bloody deaths than normal, represented by this icon of a smiling Vault Boy casually blowing another guy away…and it's captured a fraction of a second after he's pulled the trigger. It's just genius on every level.
So I go into work on Monday and I go into Todd's office and told him I wanted to make a big 3D Bloody Mess cake and have the one guy's head completely whole, and put fireworks in it, and then during the party we'd light them and blow the guy's head off in an actual bloody mess. The cake could be, like, raspberry cake with gooey stuff in it….
Todd thought it was hilarious, and I mentioned to some guys on the team…Emil, Gavin…and they thought it was great and said we had to do it. So after lots of trying we finally got a hold of the folks at Charm City, who at first had no idea what the hell I was talking about. But after a few pictures and some explaining they got the gist of it. Unfortunately, they called back later to say that "the lawyers" said no more explosives in cake.
So with that dream gone, we focused on the most accurate Bloody Mess cake we could get without explosives, along with a couple of sheet cakes, each featuring one of the two guys in the image. I think everything turned out great. I'm sure it was a ***** to make. Food Network wanted to include it as part of a show, but decided it probably was a bit too much for it's audience (they're probably right).
My favorite moment with the cake was when Todd and I were carrying the thing out of my hotel room, where we had kept it after the event and before taking it back to the office the next morning. As we were getting on the elevator there's this elderly couple on there already, and the woman says, "oh my!" The look on their faces when we got in was worth the price of the cake alone. "Horrified" doesn't do it justice.
The cake's currently residing on the reception counter for the dev area. The two sheet cakes were long since eaten, but it was definitely money well spent and definitely worth doing. Highly recommend the Charm City folks if you're in this area and looking for a special cake.

A CARE boss has appeared in court accused of offences relating to the death of a resident in a Burnley old people's home last year.
John Alexander Pinder, 47, is facing three separate charges relating to the death, believed to be in March 2013, at the Abiden Rest Home, in Rosehill Road, Burnley.
Pinder is accused of failing to discharge a duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act, where persons not in his employment were exposed to health and safety risks.
Another two charges, said to relate to March 14, and a date in June 2013, allege that he contravened health and safety management regulations.
The first offence is said to relate to staff who work for him and the second matter involves those 'not in his employment'. The resident has not been named.
Joanne Ridgeway, prosecuting on behalf of Burnley Council, said "These particular offences are related to the death of a resident and we say were the material cause of the death."
The prosecution and defence agreed that the allegations should be determined by a crown court judge and jury.
The maximum sentence, on conviction, for the offences would be a £20,000 fine, if dealt with by magistrates, the court heard.
Magistrates chairman Victor Foster said that the bench agreed that the case should be sent for crown court trial.
Pinder, of Rosehill Road, did not enter a plea to any of the three allegations and was remanded on unconditional bail until July 7.
Council officials in Burnley have refused to name the resident who is alleged to have died as a result of the alleged offences.
But a spokesman confirmed that the resident died in March 2013 and that the care home was summonsed to court after the authority undertook an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
n Abiden provides residential care for up to 22 people and Pinder is registered as the manager/owner of the premises.

This year's event will feature a number of firsts that will make it the biggest, longest and wildest birdwatching tournament in the nation. The Texas birding tournament, which has been a week-long event for 16 years along the Texas Gulf Coast, is going statewide and will last an entire month - from April 15 to May 15. The new format will allow participants to compete in more than one of the 42 categories and choose what days they wish to participate based on weather and personal schedules. In addition to the traditional competitions, such as the Big Sit!, this year there will be nine regional Big Day tournaments, a Texas State Park tourney and Sunrise to Noon contest. Team fees have been lowered from previous years, as well, making participation easier and more economical than ever before. "You'll now be able to participate from anywhere in Texas, including your own backyard," says Shelly Plante, tournament director. "Any birdwatcher from the backyard birder to those who may be more competitive is welcome to join the event. There's a tournament category for everyone." Plante manages the nature tourism program for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which has grabbed the reigns of this friendly annual birding competition that raises funds for Texas conservation projects. Since the inception of the Great Texas Birding Classic in 1997, adult teams that recorded the most bird species in various categories have contributed more than $789,500 for avian habitat conservation. Habitat conservation grants, which this year will be awarded to projects anywhere in Texas, are funded through event sponsorship and registration fees. This year's event sponsors include Toyota and H.E.B. The registration deadline for the Great Texas Birding Classic is April 1.

The hacker behind the in-app iOS purchase hack has started focusing on bringing the hack to the Mac OS platform. And it works.
The Mac OS hack utilizes a similar work around on the user side involving the installations of specific security certificates on their machines. Unlike the iOS version though the hack requires the installation a helper program. The program is entitled Grim Receiper.
Apple is still mum on the Mac OS X exploit, but users and developers should expect a swift response in the same vein as Apples post on their developer site detailing the temporary fix for iOS, and addressing the permanent fix coming in iOS 6 (most likely a Mountain Lion update). The use of a program to work around OS Xs app store could prove
Initial reports estimated that some 30,000 free downloads occurred in the first day after the hack became public. The Next Web now claims that before the fix became available iOS users made as many as 8.4 million free purchases. There is no word on whether Apple and developers can or will charge users for purchases made using the hack.

This is a post I placed on Open Parachute (click to view in context):
I would like to add some clarity to the Climate Change Discussion. My name is listed in the above list of scientists who do not accept anthropogenic climate change. First, by way of a disclaimer, I would not characterize myself as a practicing scientist. My qualifications for entering this discussion are that in 1981 I spent 13 months at the South Pole in charge of NSF climate data collection. As such, I participated in the analysis, but was not responsible for publishing the results. That was done by the scientists in charge of the various projects.

FINAL: Saint Leo 8, Nova Southeastern 2 – (Saint Leo, Fla. – Thomas B. Southard Stadium)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: Brnovich (DH), Newcomb (CF), Twitty (RF), Vitale (3B), Moses (LF), Revell (1B), Torres (C), Rawdow (2B), Perez (SS), Krauss (P)
NOVA SOUTHEASTERN STARTERS: Asuaje (SS), Melendez (1B), Rodriguez (LF), Sedell (3B), Reynolds (DH), Marrero (RF), Clements (C), Navarro (CF), Acevedo (4), Contaldi (P)
AT A GLANCE: In a 14-hit night the Lions' offense got a 5-0 early and quickly put the Sharks in a hole. Shutting down the Nova Southeastern for five innings of relief work was Michael Dunnigan (3-0). The win for the Lions was the first win against Nova Southeastern since 2009.
- Saint Leo (21-11, 2-5 SSC) struck first in the bottom of the second inning for two runs on three hits.Dillon Vitale led off the inning with a base hit and following it up was Taed Moses with an RBI triple in the right-center gap that scored Vitale. Scoring Moses on the next play was Michael Revell who scorched a liner right back up the middle.
- The Lions followed up the second inning with three more in the bottom of the third. The rally began with a Ryan Brnovich single up the middle and after a sacrifice bunt and an infield hit, the Lions had men on second and third with one away. Vitale brought home Brnovich on a sacrifice fly and on the following play, Moses singled up the middle. Brining both runners home was Revell once again, who this time sent a double over the left fielder's head.
- Nova Southeastern (18-11, 3-4 SSC) showed some life in the fourth inning as Kevin Reynolds jumpstarted the inning with a homerun off of Lions' starter Brent Krauss. The next batter, Alex Marrero, doubled to left field to continue the rally. Bringing home Marrero was Angel Navarro with a single through the left side.
- The Lions responded by pushing another run across the board in the bottom of the fifth inning. After Brnovich and Vitale reached base, Moses sent another RBI hit to left field to bring home Brnovich.
- The next inning Rawdow and Perez strung together a pair of hits to start off the sixth, and after a sacrifice bunt moved both men into scoring position, Twitty singled through the right side for a clutch two-out base hit to extend the Lions' lead.
- The Lions managed one more run in the eighth when Perez connected on his second hit of the night to get the inning going. Chris Newcomb tallied his first hit of the night when he drilled a ball into left field to bring home the Lions' eighth run.
- Earning his third win of the season was Michael Dunnigan—who tossed five innings out of the bullpen and allowed just four hits while not giving up a run.
- Starting the game on the mound and throwing four innings was Brent Krauss. Krauss allowed three hits and two runs while striking out a pair of batters.
- Taed Moses tallied three hits on the evening, coming up just a homer short of the cycle. Moses drove in two runs and scored a pair of runs.
- Collecting two hits on the night was Bobby Twitty, Dillon Vitale, Michael Revell, and Taylor Perez. Revell also contributed a game-high three RBI. Vitale, Twitty, and Perez all contributed two RBI on the night.
Saint Leo continues its three-game series with Nova Southeastern tomorrow right back here at Thomas B. Southard Stadium. First pitch of the doubleheader will be at 1:00 p.m. with the second game coming approximately a half hour after the conclusion of game one.

I'm looking to create a page with some fairly simple functionality, but I'm not sure what type of developer I even need...
I want to have an option to upload a photo of yourself, and then an option to overlay something on top of the photo. So let's say it's a hairstyle website.
a) you upload a photo of yourselfb) you choose a hairstyle from a list and that style is placed over top of your image.c) you can scale and move the hairstyle around so that it fits properly
Is this flash?Any idea on how complex this is?
Sounds pretty standard for a CMS, though I don't understand what you mean by
Could you clarify that bit?
Hmmm... Okay, I may not have explained well enough.
I don't want to upload the photo. I want my customers to be able to upload a photo of themselves and then I want them to be able to choose different products from my store (wigs). Once they select a wig, my website will place the wig over top the photo they uploaded.
They can then drag the wig around over the photo, and scale it as if it were in photoshop or fireworks.
The purpose of this webapp or whatever you want to call it will be for customers to see what a particular wig will look like on them.
OK, sounds like a job for a JS programmer. This is a kind of web app.
You'll want web programmer experienced with HTML5 and CSS3 for sure, and Javascript. For drag-n-drop and resizing, one could use this code, for example:
I agree, this is a Java programmer`s job, along with PHP or whatever language your site is programmed in. Also this job could be done in flash, but just better with Java.
Do you mean JavaScript? Remember that Java and JavaScript are completely different things. (I like the way Paul Wilkinson describes it: "Java is to JavaScript as Ham is to Hamster".) [/ot]
Don't use Flash if you can avoid it . . . Adobe dropped support for mobile devices. With all of the smartphones and tablets that are being purchased every day, you'll quickly have a site that most people won't be able to see!
HTML5 and CSS3 are probably your best options for the project that you described. It's hard without knowing more specs, but that's the direction I would choose.
Its good to use a CMS , where you can update your site as well as images on your website. IF clients want to change image surely he also want to change the content as well. Go for a good CMS like wordpress , joomla. etc.

A RIVER rejuvenation scheme in Burnley is hoping to make waves as supporters hope to qualify for a televised appeal this autumn.
Ribble Rivers Trust and its Urban River Enhancement Scheme (URES) has been selected as a finalist in a BBC One National Lottery show which will be seeking out the public's favourite initiatives for extra assistance.
Voting has already begun for the TV hunt - and will continue until Wednesday, July 23, with a £2,000 cash prize on offer in various disciplines.
The £750,000 URES has already seen major upgrades to the Rivers Brun and Calder in the town centre and beyond, with fish-friendly channels and ladders installed at key locations.
Junior environmentalists have also taken part in the Trout in the Classroom spin-off, where pupils oversaw the genesis of the fish from a tank to being released into the wild.
Victoria Dewhurst, of the Ribble Rivers Trust, said: "We are delighted to have reached the finals of the National Lottery Awards.
"Our National Lottery funding has allowed the Ribble Rivers Trust to run a project which will transform the river environments in Burnley town centre and improve hidden streams to attract more wildlife and engage the local community with their rivers.
"We really hope people across the north west and throughout the UK will get behind this innovative project and give us their support as we attempt to win a National Lottery award."
TV star John Barrowman will be presenting the final show and backing for the Burnley bid can be pledged by going online to www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards or calling 0844 836 9689.
The seven categories in which awards will be presented are arts, sport, heritage, health, environment, education and voluntary/charity, to reflect ongoing funding priorities.

Fox Chapel boys to rely on conditioning, depth to compete in Class AAAA
Despite Fox Chapel's two-year absence from the playoffs, the team won't be adjusting expectations.
"That's always a goal. That's always what we're working toward," coach Zach Skrinjar said. "There's an expectation, but we have to earn getting there."
Despite an overall record of 14-8, Fox Chapel finished fifth in Section 2-AAAA. The top four teams from each section qualify for the postseason.
A 5-7 mark in section put the Foxes behind the final qualifier, McKeesport, which had a 7-5 section record despite finishing 11-11 overall.
"I figure that motivation is there," Skrinjar said. "I don't think there is any extra."
Junior guards Brian Papich and Matt D'Amico return to a squad fueled by young players with experience.
Senior guard Nate Huwar saw time off the bench last season.
"The funny thing is D'Amico, Papich and Billy (Urso) have never played against kids their age," Skrinjar said.
D'Amico has started since he was a freshman, and Papich earned a spot in the lineup all of last season. Urso, a sophomore guard, should see time off the bench.
Skrinjar hopes D'Amico and Papich can set a precedent for younger players hoping to make an impact, not just for this season, but for the future.
"They know how we are, and our expectations from them," Skrinjar said. "They pretty much stepped up like we wanted them to do. We really didn't have to do anything about that."
Skrinjar likes what his players have shown during the first stages of his preseason regimen, which starts and ends with conditioning.
The lead-up to the season is where Skrinjar hopes to make the most inroads.
"Obviously integrating younger kids in our system is key," Skrinjar said. "That's kind of the stage we're at now. We'll be progressing to where we want to be in a couple weeks."
The team may get to see that payoff sooner rather than later.
In Fox Chapel's up-tempo offense, a lot of substitutions are required to maintain the pace of play.
"Depth could be a strength for us," Skrinjar said. "We also have seven or eight guys that are capable of stepping up and playing in those roles with those guys."

All scholarship recipients at South Plains College are selected by faculty committees. College-wide scholarship awards and nontraditional student scholarships are selected by the SPC Scholarship Committee. The committee include faculty from various departments at the college.
Program specific scholarships and activity scholarships are selected by faculty committees within each department.
Scholarship Award Notification and Agreement
Applicants selected to receive a scholarship will be notified no later than June 1. Scholarship recipients will receive a scholarship agreement outlining the details and requirements of the award. Signed agreements must be returned to the South Plains College Scholarship Office by June 15. Failure to return the scholarship agreement by the required date will result in forfeiture of the scholarship award.
Disbursement of Scholarship Funds
Funds from the South Plains College Foundation are disbursed to the recipient's scholarship account. Direct expenses, such as tuition, fees, room and board, and books, may be charged to the student's account. The student is allowed to charge books and related course supplies in the SPC Bookstore not to exceed the scholarship amount less any direct expenses. If the student's account reflects a scholarship credit balance, scholarship money over and above direct expenses will be refunded after the third week of each regular semester. Checks will be issued in the student's name and mailed to the permanent address of record by the Business Office.
Reimbursement Policy for Withdrawals
Recipients of college-wide scholarships, program specific and nontraditional student scholarships who officially withdraw from the college and are eligible for full or partial refunds of tuition and fees are required to return a percentage of the scholarship award at the same percentage as the college's overall tuition and fee refund schedule policy. Recipients of third-party (private) scholarship will be required to pay refunds according to the donors' instructions. Activity scholarship recipients will be required to pay refunds according to the policies of the awarding department.

Topic: Odd Presentation of CC
I'm brand new to this site. My mom was just diagnosed with cancer of the bile duct which was first suspected from some elevated liver enzymes. A CT showed multiple low density lesions "too many to count" throughout her entire liver. PET scan showed no evidence of cancer outside of the bile duct or liver.We were told by her oncologist that it was inoperable and will start her on Gemzar and cisplatin. I've been reading many messages throughout this website and havn't seen anyone else describe this kind of presentation. Her oncologist called it "odd".
Anyhow, to say the least this has been very stressful, devastating and confusing. We were hopeful when we heard there was no cancer outside the liver because I'd heard this ruled you out for a transplant, however, we were turned down by Mayo MN. The surgeon there (Dr Gores) said she was not a candidate for liver transplant because the cancer was attacking so much of the liver that "it would just grow back". I'm confused and have yet to have someone explain it to me. If the diseased liver was taken out why should it matter how diseased it is??
My mom is only 49 and none of us are willing to accept chemo as her only option. We want surgery! We want a better outcome!
Can anyone help me understand this or give me some suggestions? Does anyone have experience/success with cc presenting this way?
Thanks so Much.

Allies bear witness to hateful anti-LGBTQ protesters
As we continue to honor the hard work, steadfast determination, and tireless voices of anti-homophobic activists, I asked for some "silent" allies to share their experiences. In the NSVRC's own backyard, organizers known as the Silent Witness Peacekeepers Alliance provide a peaceful, non-violent, and affirming barrier between attendees at pro-LGBTQ events and hateful protesters in central Pennsylvania. I asked a few friendly Witnesses to share some insight into the Alliance, their motivations, and the value of the work they do. See the responses below:
What is Silent Witness and why is it necessary?
"Silent Witness is a non-confrontational peacekeeping group that volunteers at Susquehanna Valley LGBTQ events. Peacekeepers form a human buffer between anti-LGBTQ protesters and event attendees. Peacekeepers also attempt to de-escalate hostile confrontations between protesters and attendees so that events remain safe and peaceful."
"Silent Witness serves an important purpose for several reasons. First, it helps LGBTQ events address the psychological violence of protesters in a nonviolent, non-confrontational manner. Also, Silent Witness sends a message that homophobia is to be rejected peacefully."
How long have you served as a Silent Witness?
"Two years. My first event as a Silent Witness Peacekeeper was the 2010 Reading Pride Festival."
What attracted you to this type of peaceful barrier building?
"I was disgusted by the bigotry of anti-LGBTQ protesters and wanted to show support for the LGBTQ community."
"I wanted to support my friends and family, as well as the LGBTQ community as a whole, to live in a peaceful environment without fear."
Can you share about a time when you found your witnessing to be most rewarding?
"Two moments were especially rewarding for me. The first was at a Harrisburg Pride festival when Silent Witness Peacekeepers were stationed at the north and south gates. An anti-gay protester with a homophobic sign began preaching at the north gate, only to be quickly surrounded by about eight peacekeepers with rainbow umbrellas. The sight of him shouting among all the rainbow umbrellas amused me, but more importantly, it sent a message to attendees that they had protection from his hateful words."
"The second was when Silent Witness Peacekeepers marched in the 2010 Harrisburg Pride parade. As several dozen peacekeepers marched down Front street, onlookers applauded … and just kept applauding! Amidst all the applause and cheers, I realized how much our peacekeeping must have meant to all these people. I think it really hit me at that moment what a difference we were making."
Thank you Silent Witness Peacekeepers Alliance for your super cool activism! Let's keep the community support and prevention going strong!

There are a couple of moments in this game you could point to as pivotal: Michal Rozsival's goal on the 5-on-3. The Rangers penalty kill at the start of the second period. The moment a few weeks ago when Martin Brodeur had to give way to Kevin Weekes.
I vote for the moment Brandon Dubinsky pounced on Zach Parise following the Devils' first goal. There have been plenty of questions about the Rangers' team toughness, particularly after the loss in Washington over the weekend. This one moment, which came in response to Parise's cross-check of Dan Girardi, helped to provide an answer. It might not be a coincidence that the Rangers were the dominant team the rest of the way.
"I guess I just wanted to send a message that it's not OK to hit a guy from behind like that, but that's how it goes sometimes," Dubinsky said. "The boys had a great kill, and when I came back to the bench, they said they're willing to kill those ones off, and that's all I needed to hear."

Laser therapy only works on
birthmarks that are close to the surface of the skin.
It commonly is used to lighten the appearance or reduce the bumpiness of
port-wine stains. Laser therapy is used to treat a superficial hemangioma only
in rare cases, because this type of birthmark generally goes away on its own.
Laser therapy for birthmarks can be an effective treatment. Ask
your doctor to show you photographs of birthmarks that have been treated and
photographs of birthmarks that have not been treated.

Water, which is vital for all forms of life, does not exist in any of the 63 celestial bodies in the Solar System. Oceans and seas cover 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Meanwhile there are lakes and rivers on lands. The snow covering the summits of high mountains is the frozen form of water. A significant amount of water in the world is in the skies. In each one of the clouds there are thousands, sometimes millions of tons of water. Some of this water fall on Earth. There are also water vapor in the air we breathe. Rain, seas, rivers, oceans and the tap water…A great majority of people are so much accustomed to the existence of water that they rarely think about the significance of the great amounts of water on Earth while there exists no water at all in any celestial body we know. The fact that the water on Earth is potable is another miraculous situation.
Although a person can live 1-2 weeks without food, he cannot live more than 3-4 days without drinking water. Human body is made up of about 55-70 percent water. Through activities like respiration and sweating we can lose 2-3 liters of water a day.
Water detector in our body: Hypothalamus
In our body there are systems that detect the slightest changes in the amount of water. The foremost of these systems is hypothalamus which is a part of our brain that is about the size of a pea. When the amount of water decreases in blood hypothalamus immediately detects it and the pituitary gland which is located just under the hypothalamus secretes a hormone called ADH.
The bloodstream carries this hormone to kidneys. Just like the matching of a key to a lock, there are special receptors in kidneys that are convenient for this hormone. By the moment hormones reach these receptors kidneys start to save water and water excretion is decreased to minimum.
If there were no kidney cells that recognize the pituitary hormone and implement the order for "water reduction" brought by this hormone, we had to drink 15-20 liters of water a day in order not to die of thirst.
As is the case with all living beings, water is the most important source of life for man. Water takes place in almost all bodily functions such as adjustment of body temperature, transportation of nutrients and oxygen, removal of waste materials from cells and facilitation of digestion. It also protects organs and tissues. For instance if we lost only 2 percent of the water enclosing our cells, we would have an energy loss of 20 percent and feel very exhausted. Only this property of water makes us understand the significance of water for human life.

Thanks to the "fiscal cliff," it has been a busy month for retirement planning experts.
Anna Pfaehler, a certified financial planner professional with Palisades Hudson Financial Group in Scarsdale, N.Y., says, "We've fielded a lot of email and worked with customers here in the office who are getting ready."
She can give best-guess advice, but until Congress comes to a decision, there will be open questions. "The month is still young, and I don't think we'll have clarity until the very end. It has been tough all year to advise clients because of the climate," Pfaehler says.
Given the uncertainty, what should someone planning for retirement do? Pfaehler suggests some steps that make sense no matter what happens in Washington.
Consider converting to a Roth IRA in December. You can bet on an increase in taxes somewhere along the line, even if it isn't in 2013. If you think your income will be higher next year than this year, you have even more motivation to make a conversion before the end of the year. There's not much risk. If you decide that the conversion was a bad idea for whatever reason, you can convert back -- recharacterize, as the IRS calls it -- as long as you do it by Oct. 15, 2013.
Delay donations of appreciated securities. If you were considering donating stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have appreciated in value, which you've held for more than a year, hold off until 2013 when the capital gains rate is almost certain to rise. If that happens, your donation will have more value as a tax deduction.
Don't forget RMDs. If you're older than 70 ½, take the required minimum distributions or RMDs from individual retirement accounts and other retirement plans. The penalty for failing to take an RMD is steep -- 50 percent on the amount not withdrawn. The year you turn 70 ½, you have until April 1 of the following year to take the RMD. After that, the deadline is Dec. 31.

Rene Furterer Fioravanti Detangling Cream Rinse
When I tried this, I found that the immediate effects where a great shine, and definitely softer hair, but not a lot of the detangling. MY BAD! The effects are subtle, and great! After the third use, not only was my hair shiny and soft, but soooo easy to comb through and NO TANGLES. Not greasy, nor does it leave behind a creamy residue. The effect is really fantastic.

Topic: Experience with chemo
New Member
From: Haledon,NJ

Posts: 1
Like many of you, i have been lurking around this site trying to gather as much information and knowledge on this horrible disease. In January, my 53 year old boyfriend was diagnosed with intra hepatic CC. He was experiencing pain on the right side of his abdomen and also had night sweats. Doctor brushed it off but my boyfriend who is very aware of his body just knew something was wrong and insisted on a scan. Thank God he did.
On january 23rd Dr. DeMatteo performed surgery at Sloan in NY and removed a 6.8 cm tumor. The surgery was a success and the doctor said he was able to remove a large enough margin. He recently had his 6 week scan which showed no cancer as well as blood work and tumor markers were all good. The oncologist and surgeon are still recommending chemo due to the high recurrence of this cancer as well as the fact that 1 lymph node had mets. He starts chemo on Monday which is Gem for 3 weeks on and 1 week off for 6 months as well as Capcitabine (xeloda) 2 times a day one week on and one week off. Do any of you have any experience or knowledge with this combo of chemo as far as success or side effects? I look forward to hearing from you. God bless you all!

The number of Victorians who smoke has almost halved over the last twenty years, according to research released by The Cancer Council Victoria today.
The findings, released today at the launch of a campaign marking the 20th Anniversary of Quit Victoria, show that less than one in five Victorian adults are regular smokers. In 1985, when Quit Victoria began, just under a third of Victorian adults were regular smokers.
Cancer Council Director Professor David Hill said the latest results indicated that since 1985, tobacco control measures adopted in Victoria have been successful in supporting men and women across all age groups in their attempts to quit smoking.
""Smoking rates for Victorian men are less than half of what they were twenty years ago and smoking rates in women have also declined steadily since 1985.""
"This has been mirrored in the smoking rates of Victorians aged 18-29, which have gone down by almost half in the past two decades."
However latest figures show smoking rates remain highest amongst among Victorians under 30, where 23.4% are regular smokers, compared to 19.8% of Victorians aged 30-49 and 9% of Victorians aged over 50.
Professor Hill said 16.6% of Victorian adults were smokers according to the 2003 survey, however he urged caution in interpreting this data.
"It is important to focus on longer term trends than year to year data which fluctuate around this trend, however these latest figures show we can be confident that smoking levels are declining. ."
Professor Hill also highlighted the significant fall in the last twenty years in smoking rates among Victorians with Year 11 or less education.
"Victorians in this group still have a higher smoking rate (21%) than those who have completed Year 12 (18.7%) or completed tertiary study (11.8%)."
"However the number of regular smokers with Year 11 or less has dropped by over 10% in the last twenty years, indicating real inroads have been made in this particular area to help these smokers quit."
According to Professor Hill the latest figures were evidence of the effectiveness of the partnership of organisations like Quit Victoria, The Heart Foundation, VicHealth and The Cancer Council Victoria along with successive Victorian Governments, in not only encouraging people to quit smoking, but also discouraging them from starting smoking in the first place.
"Since Quit Victoria began there has been an undeniable downward shift in the smoking rates in Victorian adults."
"In the years following 1985 we have seen bans of cigarette advertising, bans on smoking in restaurants, increases in cigarette prices, the implementation of more detailed pack warning and a raft of successful advertising campaigns spear-headed by Quit Victoria."
"There is no doubt that all of these have been contributing factors in the continuing decrease in the number of adult Victorians smoking."
Professor Hill said there had also been a change in where people smoke, pointing out the regular smokers are now more likely to smoke outdoors and away from children.
Research has indicated a rapid increase in the number of regular smokers who do not smoke around children, from approximately 13% in 1989 to 42% in 2003 and a increase in the percentage of regular smokers who always or usually smoke outside.
Other findings from research released today include:

RONNIE Moore is not expecting Liam Ridehalgh to be available for Tranmere Rovers' League One match against Crewe at Prenton Park this weekend.
The left-back had to be substituted at half-time against Peterborough at the weekend after picking up a groin injury.
However, Danny Holmes and Ian Goodison are edging closer to returns.
The Manager told Tranmere Player: "Liam has a groin strain and it's bruised already.
"We've just got to wait and see, Gregg [Blundell, Club Physio] will know more later in the week, but at the present time we're probably looking at a fortnight.
"Danny has had a stiff back. I think he'll be OK. Gregg is talking about him training on Thursday and if he does that ok he'll be in line for selection on Saturday.
"Goody has trained twice last week with us and he'll probably train on Thursday.
"If he comes through that ok he won't be a million miles away from either being on the bench or being involved."

Paying off a mortgage can be a more-than-wonderful feeling and, as I'm assured, an unforgettable one.
But Thomas Daigle upped the ante and made the experience of paying off his mortgage extra special this year. The Milford, Mass., resident showed up at his mortgage lender's establishment with 62,000 pennies to pay his $620 loan balance, according to The Milford Daily News.
Daigle and his wife, Sandra, moved into their home 35 years ago. After borrowing from the Milford Federal Savings and Loan Association and purchasing the home, Daigle promised himself he would make the final payment in pennies.
Being a man of his word, he started collecting an average of 2.5 pennies a day. He tried holding the pennies in a grape crate, which proved to be overwhelming. So, he secured military rocket launcher ammo boxes to contain the colossal coin collection.
Daigle used rainy and snowy days to roll up pennies by the 50. When he would pick up a penny and declare that it was going toward the mortgage, Sandra would laugh -- not realizing the extent of his savings.
The "pay off my mortgage" day landed on April 24, the same day Daigle and his wife celebrated their 35th anniversary. Milford Federal was given a heads up about a month before he made the delivery. The bank says every penny roll was perfectly counted.
He continues to pursue and pocket pennies, but instead of accumulating them for future use, he visits grocery store change sorting machines and cashes in.
How will you pay off your long-term mortgage? Share your ideas in the comments section.

THE price of fresh produce in Victoria is expected to soar from 2014, when wholesalers face big rent increases and a lack of space at the new $600 million fruit and vegetable market in Epping.
While average rents will rise by 65 per cent at the new complex, many traders said they faced a twofold increase in costs if they moved to smaller stands at Epping, which would be passed on to consumers.
''We'll have to put those costs back to the client. What choice do we have?'' said Sculli & Co director Phillip Basile, who estimated the price of some fruit and vegetables could rise by more than 30 per cent.
Mr Basile said many family businesses would be ruined by the rent increases, which would also undermine Victoria's competitiveness with other states.
''I've got a 16-year-old son who wants to come into the business, but I've had to put a stop to that,'' Mr Basile said.
The disaster-prone relocation of the market to Melbourne's north has been further hampered by the sudden resignation on Thursday of Melbourne Market Authority chief executive Allan Crosthwaite, who was responsible for overseeing the move from West Melbourne.
Mr Crosthwaite announced his departure on the same day traders were informed of the sharp rent increases for new leases at Epping. He said the timing of his resignation was a coincidence and he had told MMA chairman Neil Lowe of his decision to accept another job a week earlier.
The development is already six years behind schedule and more than $300 million over budget, which recently attracted criticism from the auditor-general in a scathing review of Major Projects Victoria.
Sam Cutrale of TC Produce estimated the cost of some fruit and vegetables could rise by as much as 50 per cent, when the market opens in July 2014.
Mr Cutrale said the government had also paid $6.57 million in compensation to wholesalers forced to accept smaller stands when they relocate to Epping. ''How can you build a brand new market and then expect us to accept smaller stands? We'll be forced to buy more space, which is obviously going to add to our costs, and we still haven't found out how much we're going to pay for warehousing.'' he said.
Minister for Major Projects Denis Napthine insists the modern facilities at Epping will contribute to cost savings. Mr Napthine said the Baillieu government had also reduced the debt of the Melbourne Market Authority by about $100 million, which would not have to be repaid by tenants.
''The traders are moving from a clapped-out Volkswagen to a Holden Statesman. We inherited a disaster from the Labor government. Had they stayed in power, traders would be facing a doubling or tripling in rents,'' Mr Napthine said.
Shane Schnitzler, president of Fresh State, which represents more than 120 wholesalers based at the West Melbourne market, said the sharp rent rises would further consolidate the market dominance of Coles and Woolworths, who increasingly deal directly with suppliers.
Mr Schnitzler said the traders would prepare a bid to buy the market for $120 million from the government and operate Epping as a private facility. He said Fresh State would also consider building its own warehouse facility opposite the Epping market.

U.S. Ranks 131st in Preterm Births
Latest Pregnancy News
Each Year, Nearly 500,000 Babies Born Prematurely in U.S.
By Charlene Laino
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
May 2, 2012 -- Preterm birth rates are higher in the United States than in 130 other countries, including many poorer nations, according to a new report from the March of Dimes Foundation, the World Health Organization, and other leading health agencies.
The report, which provides the first-ever estimates of preterm birth rates by country, ranks the U.S. 131st out of 184 countries -- ranking between the Congo and Nigeria -- with a preterm birth rate of 12.0 per 100 live births. Each year in the U.S., nearly half a million babies are born before 37 weeks' gestation.
The March of Dimes has set a U.S. goal of a 9.6% preterm birth rate by 2020.
Worldwide, more than 1 in 10 -- 15 million -- babies are born prematurely each year, and more than 1 million die from preterm complications.
That makes preterm birth the leading cause of newborn death worldwide, and the second-leading cause of death after pneumonia for children under 5, says Chris Howson, PhD, vice present for global programs at the March of Dimes and an author of the report. Those who do survive often face the risk of lifelong health problems.
Of the 65 countries with reliable trend data, all but three show an increase in preterm birth rates over the past 20 years, the report says. The U.S. rate rose to a peak of 12.8% in 2006, after which it started to drop.
Behind the U.S. Ranking
Asked why the U.S. ranked so poorly, Howson cites obesity, which increases the risk of gestational diabetes and high blood pressure; increasing numbers of uninsured women; and the rising rate of elective C-sections, some of which may be scheduled too early.
An increase in the number of older women having babies and increased use of fertility drugs, which increases the chance of multiple births, also play a role, he tells WebMD.
In developing countries, high rates of infections (such as HIV), chronic diseases, and smoking contribute to premature births, Howson says.
The report notes that three-fourths of deaths from preterm births could be avoided if currently available interventions were widely implemented. Most importantly, all women of childbearing age should have access to health care -- before, between, and during pregnancy, Howson says.
Other findings:
A 'Valuable' Report
Hyagriv Simhan, MD, chief of maternal-fetal medicine and medical director of obstetrical services at Magee-Womens Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, says the report is "incredibly valuable."
The best way to minimize the risk of preterm birth is to plan pregnancy carefully, Simhan tells WebMD.
"Don't wait until there is a complication to seek care, as then it is too late. Start planning even before conception, and make smart lifestyle choices, such as eating right and quitting smoking," he says.
Also, babies should be spaced at least a year apart, Simhan says.
Preterm births cost the U.S. more than $26 billion annually, according to a 2006 Institute of Medicine report.

Did you know?
The former Slave Lodge on Church Square was built by the Dutch East India Company in 1679 to house thousands of slaves. This museum is open to the public for a minimal fee.
Cape Town has a fascinating history, and as a result the modern-day culture of those who live here is both vibrant and eclectic.
A good place to start your exploration into Cape Town's past is with the city's oldest building at the Castle of Good Hope, built as a fortress by the first white settlers, the Dutch.
Then head off and explore the Company's Gardens and cobbled Government Avenue. This avenue is lined with historic institutions such as De Tuynhuis, the Cape residence of the State President, and the South African Museum with its exhibits on the first known inhabitants of the Cape, the San and Khoikhoi.
Cape Town's tale of slaves, many of whom originally came from Malaya, is told at the Bo-Kaap Museum, in the boldly painted and terraced Bo-Kaap quarter on the slopes of Signal Hill. The Afrikaans-speaking descendants of these slaves have been absorbed into the Coloured community, yet remain staunch Muslims and their neighbourhoods are dotted with the minarets of mosques. Another fascinating location is the District Six Museum on Buitenkant Street, which traces the forced removal of a vibrant mixed race community.
Robben Island is one of Cape Town's biggest tourist attractions and is a major highlight on any trip to the Mother City. Many of South Africa's most famous freedom fighters were incarcerated here, including Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years on the island. The island museum is situated about 11km off the coast of Cape Town and was declared a World Heritage Site on December 1 1997.
Growing in popularity are tours to the townships on the Cape Flats, where a new urban culture is being forged. Tours provide a 'behind the scenes' look at how communities live and work with visits to arts and crafts facilities and sustainable and environmental development projects.

In case you were wondering if Mattel would get off their lazy bums and open up a Barbie-themed restaurant already, you can rest easy tonight. The company has done just that with their recently launched Barbie Cafe.
The Barbie Cafe will feature all of the pink opulence Barbie herself has grown accustomed to. The cafe has pink couches, pink tables shaped like high heel shoes and pink chairs adorned with tutus. Of course, the cafe also features a gift shop where you can fill all of your Barbie memorabilia needs.
The cafe's Facebook page says customers will be able to feast on American fare as well as French food, Italian food, seafood and sandwiches. One more thing, and this is a doozy for you Barbie fans out there: Mattel's Barbie Cafe is located a world away, in Taiwan. Oh, cruel and unjust world!

Six Reasons Why SEO "Top Lists" Strategies Also Work for PR
- Posted in Press Release Quick Tips
- Tagged in SEO
- Leave a Comment
Because the whole point of most public relations exercises is to generate visibility for specific messages, I like to draw ideas and tactics from the search engine optimization and marketing crowd. They're a data driven bunch, and they have measuring outcomes down to an absolute art. At the same time, it's no secret that the search engines – especially Google as of late – have been deploying big algorithmic changes with frequency. The ground under the feet of anyone with a stake in building online visibility has been shifting, sometimes uncomfortably.
One of the biggest changes recently was Google's abrupt shut-down of real-time search. Google had been ingesting data feeds from Twitter, and using that data to inform search results. As a result, tweets (especially those from influentials) were featured prominently in search results. When Google shelved real-time, they stopped taking the data from Twitter, and while you can still find tweets in search results, the numbers of tweets featured seem to be fewer. And the real SEO value – meaning the ability to associate a specific web page with specific search terms, and achieve high rankings in search engines for said web page, when the aforementioned keywords are searched – seemed to be on the decline.
So, as you can imagine, I was pretty interested in a blog post from SEOMoz on Friday of last week, titled "Yes You Really Can Build Links on Twitter," which offered suggestions for building links (i.e. relevant inbound links from one site to another that can help influence search engine rankings, and are a key piece of SEO strategy) and, not surprisingly, there are some great ideas for PR folks to add to their tactics. What's really interesting, however, is that the tactics blend SEO, building social relationships, influencer targeting, social content optimization and smart content marketing.
One tactic I really liked that could have a ton of value for the PR set was a comprehensive approach to building and using those irrepressibly popular "top 5 whatever" lists. In the example given, SEOmoz imagines they represent a maker of snowboard equipment. Here are the steps they take to build a list of the "top 5 snowboarding stunts videos" to build search engine visibility:
- Start a conversation, and ask people what they think is the best snowboarding stunts video they've seen. Reach out to people who have shared snowboarding videos in the past, or have the word 'snowboarding' in their profiles. (Tip from SEOmoz: Follower Wonk is a great tool for this.)
- Once the best videos are identified, the next step is to ID the Twitter accounts associated with the videos.
- Create the content rolling up the videos – blog post, article, etc. – and then tweet at the "winners" and give them a badge they can display on their own blogs. (From the SEO perspective, this is the win – getting a link from a solid blog back to the your site.)
Why is this approach smart for PR? Let me count the ways.
- The initial step – inviting the community to suggest videos – starts building audience and attention for your message right out of the gate. Keep their interest with good follow-through, and you're on your way to building lasting attention for your brand.
- Focusing on socially connected people – the type of folks who upload videos to YouTube and share links on social networks – can add a real degree of amplification to your messages, and even set the stage for a viral event.
- Personal interaction – from inviting contributions from the community to tweeting directly to the top 5 boarders selected – makes the brand feel approachable and human. People are more likely to friend a friendly brand. And that personal, positive interaction can also trigger a potent word-of-mouth effect.
- Content. Congratulations, you've just developed a nice piece of content that you can use myriad ways. Of course you'd Tweet it and share it on your other social channels. You could even issue a press release about it, pitch it to a handful of media, and add it to other communications, such as newsletters.
- The overall visibility, in search engines and social networks, this type of effort creates is really worthwhile. It's fun, positive, social and lasting.
- It's measurable, on a few different levels. You can measure search engine ranking for specific keywords, traffic to the product-related web page you link to in your blog post, mentions of and conversations around your brand, overall web site traffic, new followers/friends/subscribers, media mentions – the list goes on.
These types of one-output/lots of results projects are valuable and efficient, and are relevant for traditional and new media channels and a wide host of stakeholders. Have you used this tactic for your brand? We'd love to hear about it!

My plan last night was to cook some wings trying out DP's Tsunami Spin (new to me) last night for that joke of a game. Unfortunately, when I got to the store, they were out of wings. I know, right? The horror! I didn't feel like going to another store, so I opted for drummies instead. I got home and decided to use Tsunami on two and Cluck and Squeal on the other three to give me a little taste comparison and a bit of variety. With Mrs. G being out of town, I was going to have to eat all 5 of them, so why not have a bit of difference? No wood was used to allow for a clearer comparison of the two rubs. My plan was to set up the MINI at 450F and use the MINI Woo. At the last second, I decided to toss in a pizza stone (wrapped in foil for easy clean up). No real reason. I usually do chicken direct, but felt like breaking from the norm just to see how the cook would differ.
Here they are on the MINI.
About 35 minutes later
45 minutes later and just about done
Plated up with a few tater tots and some salad with a light vineaigrette for some healthy eating.
Ok, ok....you got me. There was a tid bit of alcohol involved. A lil Cuba Libre. I really need to get to the store and get some more bourbon.
Turns out I shouldn't have even bothered with the two rubs. With all the meds the doctor has me on, my taste buds are kinda fried. Personally, I think its the preventative inhaler they got me using. I could detect a bit of difference, but honestly not enough to give any kind of review. I mean they both tasted good and all don't get me wrong, but I couldn't pick up any subtle or unusual flavors. I joked with a friend last night that I probably could have rubbed them with dirt and not noticed. Still, it was a good meal, sorta healthy and a lot better than the game. Oh...and the game was turned off by half time. What a joke.

It's that time of year when Australians start grumbling about giving up a Sunday to fill in their annual income tax return. And for the first time they will be doing it without the benefit of the 200-page house brick formerly known as TaxPack.
It is all part of a concerted effort by the Australian Taxation Office to encourage people with simple tax affairs to go online and file their return using e-tax. About one in five individual taxpayers, or 2.6 million people, used e-tax last year and the numbers are expected to grow steadily.
A printed guide will still be available but in a shortened form.
Taxpayers who need more technical information will have to go to the ATO website (ato.gov.au/etax) or seek professional advice (see box, right).
The main benefit of e-tax is that it is free, with most refunds issued within 12 days. Judging by posts in online chatrooms, most are landing in bank accounts sooner than that.
''If you've got a simple return, I think e-tax works quite well,'' Roger Timms of Taxpayers Australia says.
''There are a lot of instructional features that make it user-friendly.''
A recent survey by H&R Block found the average time taken to complete a tax return was about three hours.
Given that the average tax benefit from deductions was $897 in 2009-10, according to ATO figures, that's not a bad return on your time.
E-tax includes built-in checks and calculators, and a pre-fill option that automatically downloads information held by the ATO from other organisations. This may include salary income, private health insurance, Centrelink benefits, bank interest, share dividends, and property and share disposals. But Timms warns people to check that the information downloaded is up to date and complete, because there is often a time lag before organisations report to the ATO.
While 700,000 people still lodge a paper return, the ATO estimates that only 10 per cent of those are unable to lodge electronically due to lack of computer access or computer skills.
If you are one of the estimated 10 per cent of computer users with an Apple Mac, or you rely on a tablet, then you can't access e-tax, which is compatible only with the Windows operating system. Despite protests from Mac users, the ATO has put the issue in the too-hard basket.
And despite the increasing acceptance of e-tax, DIY is not for everyone. More than 70 per cent of taxpayers still use a tax agent to lodge their return.
If your financial affairs are more complex or you simply can't be bothered with the paperwork, you may decide to err on the side of caution and pay to see a tax agent. ''Ask how sure you are that you are going to get it right,'' Timms says. ''If in doubt, go to a tax agent.''
The cost of advice
Accountants' fees to prepare and lodge an individual tax return depend on the complexity of the job, with costs ranging from under $100 to many thousands of dollars. Just don't expect the accounting profession to offer fee guidelines.
The only way to find out who charges what is to ring around.
''Treat it like you would a tradesperson and ring three or four accountants for a quote,'' CPA Australia business policy adviser Gavan Ord says. He says the quote you choose should not necessarily be the cheapest one.
''Make sure an accountant has particular knowledge of your industry, especially if you run a small business,'' he says.
''And be wary of people who charge a low fee in the first year and rack it up in the second and subsequent years.''
Fees are more upfront at suburban shopfront tax agents such as H&R Block, the largest lodger of tax returns in Australia, and ITP. H&R Block's fees start at $49 for a simplified online tax return that has been whittled down to 30-40 questions you complete yourself. ''It is more intuitive than e-tax and is aimed at people who know what they are doing,'' the group's regional director, Frank Brass, says.
If you want your return completed by one of H&R Block's tax agents, fees start at $116 - more if you have a rental property, a motor vehicle claim or other complex items. Brass says the average charge is $128. Those under 21 receive a discount rate of $70 but exclusions apply.
''Before you agree to anything, negotiate a fee, and if you are not happy, don't proceed,'' Roger Timms of Taxpayers Australia says.

36 Tile Challenge
You are given thirty-six square tiles. Thirty-two of them each have exactly one letter on their face. Specifically, there are 4 A's, 4 C's, 2 E's, 2 H's, 3 I's, 1 N, 1 O, 1 P, 4 R's, 3 S's, 3 T's, 1 U, 1 V, 1 W, and 1 Y. The other four tiles are black. Your challenge is to fit the tiles together such that they form two separate crosswords: one of them is 4 tiles across and 4 tiles down; the other one is 4 tiles across and 5 tiles down. Both crosswords have independent clues, and the words are not numbered; the clues are given by each row and column. If a row or column has more than one word (separated by a black tile), the clues for each word will be separated by a semicolon. Some words are actually strings of letters with a familiar pattern, or they may be single letters or acronyms. Some clues even have a trick answer to them. The clues will mention where these are. Using word knowledge and logic, make both crosswords.

More local teachers fared poorly in evaluations
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 7:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 6, 2012 at 7:33 p.m.
While more than 95 percent of classroom teachers in Florida were rated "highly effective" or "effective" under Florida's new teacher evaluation system, about 78 percent of Alachua County classroom teachers fell into the top two categories, according to data released by the Florida Department of Education on Thursday.
The DOE had released the report Wednesday but later retracted it when officials in Hillsborough County pointed out some problems with duplicate reporting.
After a review of all districts, an updated report was released late Thursday afternoon.
The district had 14.6 percent of teachers rated "needs improvement." Statewide, 2.1 percent fell into that category.
Alachua County led the state in the percentage of classroom teachers rated "unsatisfactory" under Florida's new evaluation system.
Of the 2,113 local classroom teachers evaluated, 64 were rated unsatisfactory, or 3.6 percent. Across the state, 0.3 percent received unsatisfactory.
Districts were required to use the value-added model when calculating teacher appraisals. The VAM factors in student performance on the FCAT and is meant to determine how much value or knowledge a teacher has added to a student during the school year.
To keep in line with the state's Race to the Top grant, districts had discretion as to how exactly to use the VAM scores to develop evaluation systems.
In Alachua County, 40 percent of a teacher's overall appraisal was based on VAM scores.
Outgoing Deputy Superintendent Sandy Hollinger said the data is meaningless, attributing the district's high percentage of unsatisfactory ratings to releasing its data later than other counties.
"Other counties have done some level of revision," she said.
She said Alachua County is working to revise its data to produce more favorable results for teachers.
"We are looking at some other components that we might be able to use," she said.
Alachua County teachers have cried out against the new evaluation system because teachers who teach students who don't take the FCAT are still tied to other students' scores.
"There's still the roster element," Hollinger said. "Are these the kids you taught?"

By Joe DiPietro
Directed & Produced by Tricia Hulet & Kellie Cunningham
This Spring, The Master's College Theatre Arts presented Joe DiPietro's hilarious and heart-warming comedy, "Over the River and Through the Woods". This show delighted audiences with lovable characters and a true-to-life story. Viewers followed Nick, a young, Italian-American guy from New Jersey, who sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This routine is shaken when he tells them he's been offered his dream job. It will mean a cross country move...! His grandparents decide to do their level best to keep him around, and that includes introducing him to the lovely - and single - Caitlin O'Hare. Audiences laughed hard and maybe even teared up as Nick learned about decision making, life direction, himself, and the importance of family.
Starring: James Phillipps as Nick, Marcus LeGault as Frank, Natalie Olender as Aida, Taylor Arnone as Nunzio, Brighton Prentice as Emma & Shannon Lyons as Caitlin.
Performed on: Thursday, March 24 - Saturday, March 26

Performed October 15-23, 2010.
First produced in 1952, The Mousetrap is the longest running stage production in the world, with performances running continuously since it opened in London's West End. The story of suspense opens in the Great Hall of a manor house just miles outside of London. A murder has taken place, and our witty cast of characters will not rest until they know WHODUNIT!
Starring: Jenny Breyman as Mollie Ralston, David Phillipps as Giles Ralston, Nicholas Root as Christopher Wren, Lauren Montague as Mrs. Boyle, James Phillipps as Major Metcalfe, Jordan Maeding as Miss Casewell, Roger Festa as Mr. Paravacini, and Joshua Chipchase as Detective Sergeant Trotter
