Why are some teens hurtful and selfish. When I was deciding if I should be friends with them, I noticed this.
You were deciding if you should be friends. That's the exact behaviour you describe. You see friendship is natural and just develops. It's not a decision process in any way. You like people or you don't. End of story.
Its normally because of parents spoiling them or they dont care. Or they moved a lot or never actually had a stable home.

Just ingore them. They're normally up to no good.

I was friends with quite a bit of them.
My personality allows me to get along with anyone. They weren't really my friends. Like I wouldn't of done everything they did. They pretty much came to me because I'm pretty good at solving problems and drama. And they knew not to be mean to me or around me because they know I don't allow bullying around me.
Believe me, it's not just teens.

The coalition's game is different (Times) The parties' differing attitudes to football reveal much about their wider social outlook, writes Rachel Sylvester. While Labour is obsessed with football, a tribal, collective and team-based sport, the Lib-Con government is focused on harnessing individual talent. 2.

Bus pass test for Cameron's mettle (Financial Times) The PM's willingness or otherwise to remove unjustified perks from wealthy pensioners is a test of his commitment to fairness, says Philip Stephens. 4. The most perilous of cuts is to sever the historical record (Guardian) Whether or not the government abandons the highly valuable birth cohort studies will tell us a lot about its true intentions, writes Polly Toynbee. Read the CommentPlus summary. 5. Cameron can't blame it all on Labour (Independent) David Cameron is determined to suggest that every unpleasant thing the coalition needs to do is the fault of its predecessor, writes Dominic Lawson. But this card will not remain trumps for long. 6. Cameron must address his rhetorical deficit (Times) Elsewhere, Ben Macintrye says that Cameron must emulate Winston Churchill and use words not merely to explain and persuade, but to inspire and soothe. 7. The oil firms' profits ignore the real costs (Guardian) Like the banks, the energy industry has long made scant provision against disaster, says George Monbiot. Oil companies should now be forced to pay in to a decommissioning fund. Read the CommentPlus summary. 8. ID cards were a bad idea from the start (Daily Telegraph) It was always clear that the passport could act perfectly well as an identity document, writes Philip Johnston. 9.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer
An agreement effective November 1, 1978, between the United States and Italy improves Social Security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. It helps many people who, without the agreement, would not be eligible for monthly retirement, disability or survivors benefits under the Social Security system of one or both countries. It also helps people who would otherwise have to pay Social Security taxes to both countries on the same earnings.
For the United States, the agreement covers Social Security taxes (including the U.S. Medicare portion) and Social Security retirement, disability and survivors insurance benefits. It doesn't cover benefits under the U.S. Medicare program or the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. For Italy, it also includes family allowances.
You don't have to do anything to have your credits in one country counted by the other country. If they need to count your credits under the Italian system to help you qualify for a U.S. benefit, the SSA will get a copy of your Italian record directly from Italy when you apply for benefits. If Italy needs to count your U.S. credits to help you qualify for an Italian benefit, they will get a copy of your U.S. record directly from the Social Security Administration when you apply for the Italian benefit.If you qualify for Social Security benefits from both the United States and Italy and you didn't need the agreement to qualify for either benefit, the amount of your U.S. benefit may be reduced. This is a result of a provision in U.S. law which can affect the way your benefit is figured if you also receive a pension based on work that was not covered by U.S. Social Security.
You can apply for Italian benefits at any U.S. Social Security office by completing an application form SSA-2490.

Summit meeting for those working with vulnerable in Sandwell
8:06am Monday 12th May 2014
8:06am Monday 12th May 2014
THE most vulnerable residents in Sandwell were the beneficiaries of a summit where 50 organisations agreed to work together to protect them.
Organised by West Midlands Fire Service, the Connecting People - Changing Lives event last Thursday, brought together professionals

Neil Griffiths, WMFS Group Commander for Black Country South, said: "We had an amazing response and will had double the number of exhibitors we originally expected.
"There are hundreds of people dedicated to improving the safety, health and wellbeing of vulnerable people in Sandwell, but they rarely get the chance to meet at one event like this.
"They found out about the services offered by partner organisations, and new ways of referring their clients for valuable help and support.
He added: "Whether it's our own vulnerable persons officers, carers, nurses or members of housing and neighbourhood teams, they'll all be represented and learning more about how we can work together."
Sandwell deputy mayor Councillor Barbara Price attended the event at West Bromwich Town Hall as did Cradley Heath and Old Hill Councillor Anne Shackleton who is also a member of West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority.
Organisations which attending included drug rehabilitation organisation Swanswell, Sandwellbeing, Kaleidescope, CARES, Health Through Warmth, Women's Aid, Marbles, Brushstrokes, Lifework, Sandwell Information Service, Action for Children, Sandwell Advocacy, Age UK, NHS Patient Experience Sandwell and West Midlands Police.

Whitehall Community Day to have Pittsburgh theme
Get ready to jam to tunes from some of Pittsburgh's biggest artists, bounce in the official Pirates' inflatable play area or greet the team's big, friendly green mascot. And don't forget to bring those pens for autographs from some of the region's up-and-coming celebrities.
Whitehall is turning black and gold Aug. 24, as the town unites in "Celebrating Pittsburgh" for this year's Community Day, with activities set from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Brennan Plaza and Snyder Park.
"We're all Pittsburgh people here. Whether you're from Whitehall or Baldwin or Brentwood, we're are Pittsburghers, and this is celebrating that," said Whitehall recreation director Kelly Joyce, who oversees the organization of the event. "There's really a lot of talent here in the community and in the Pittsburgh area at large."
This year's Community Day will showcase that, with nearly all of the performers, vendors and games based around the Steel City and with something for people of all ages.
Past themes for community day have included: "Rockin' Through the Ages," "Whitehall Borough Hoedown," "Celebrating Diversity" and "Hometown Heroes."
Famed Pittsburgh rock band Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers will perform at Brennan Plaza at 12:30 p.m.
"All of our bands have their roots in Pittsburgh," Joyce said.
Yet, Grushecky and crew might be the most well-known performers of all time for Whitehall's annual festivities, Joyce said.
"That is our highlight of this year, for sure," Joyce said.
Also set to perform on the Brennan Plaza stage is American Idol season 11 finalist and Washington, Pa., native Adam Brock at 4 p.m. and oldies group Pure Gold at 2 p.m.
"(These three) really speak to all of the different age groups," Joyce said.
For the youngsters — along with the inflatable bouncy areas, crafts and games — Disney's preschool television series "Doc McStuffins" will be brought to life in Snyder Park.
Doctors from South Hills Children's Community Pediatrics, partnering with Radio Disney, will host a clinic from 2 to 4 p.m. to care for youngsters' "ailing" stuffed animals, Joyce said.
"I just think that is so adorable," she said.
The Pirate Parrot also will be at community day from 1 to 2 p.m., "which is huge this year, seeing as our Pirates are in first place," Joyce said.
Local dance groups also will perform, nonprofits will hold information tents, and food will be available for purchase, she said.
In the community room, the Whitehall Public Library and Whitehall Community Lions Club will hold an event with local therapy dogs from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
A meet-and-greet tent will be held with Pittsburgh-area celebrities from 1 to 4 p.m.
"Bring your hockey memorabilia. Bring your basketball memorabilia," said Joyce, who is keeping the celebrities' identity a secret.
Stephanie Hacke is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. She can be reached at 412-388-5818 or email@example.com.

The company is mostly built on Android devices, but has always tried to support the iPhone. The trouble was that until now, users had to cut down the existing Solavei SIM or microSIM cards to work in the iPhone 5, which can be a trick process. Now, the company officially offers nano SIM cards for iPhone 5 users.
Of course, iPhone users still need to be careful, because T-Mobile is still rolling out the 1900MHx spectrum, so the iPhone still doesn't get 3G speeds on the entire T-Mobile network. It works well in many major metropolitan areas, but still not all.

edit From Pee Review
It's my first article I've finished. Tell me what you think.
|This is definitely above-average. The humor -- of which there is quite a lot -- would be strengthened, I think, by some judicious formatting. See endnotes.
|Good idea. I like the concept.
|Prose and formatting:
|Again, this is well-written but could use some formatting changes. See endnotes.
|I admit, I scanned down the article and looked at the pictures first. And they made me laugh. Not that they're great artistic photoshops or anything...they're just funny pics appropriate to the article. Good job.
|My subjective reaction is that this is a good article as it stands, could be improved, and I want to read more.
|Final Score:
|--OEJ 16:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Endnotes: On formatting and style: This article uses fairly long paragraphs; most of the sections are single paragraphs. This is OK, but you can gain some strength by breaking them up and even by using single-sentence paragraphs. If I may be allowed to drift off into wacko personal theory for a moment...
I think that when a comedian like Dave Chapelle does standup comedy a lot of meaning -- a lot of the comic gold -- comes from his vocal delivery, his facial expressions, and even his body language. In a good routine the comedian is using everything. But prose has no face (and therefore no facial expression), and it has no body language.
Everything must be done with just the words.
What prose does have is punctuation. It has structure, word rhythm, and typography...and part of the structure and rhythm is use of paragraphs. In the preceding bit, just above, I used a "thesis" paragraph to compare human speech and written prose, and a one-sentence "punchline" paragraph to drive the point home. The thesis paragraph is reasonably well-developed, with compound sentences and lists and parenthetical clauses and whatnot. The punchline is short and simple.
That's one way to use structure to strengthen a piece.
The sentences and paragraphs themselves should be carefully structured too. Conventional advice (textbook advice, I mean) is to put the important clause at the end of the sentence, and the important sentence at the end of the paragraph. OK, well...not always true, I think.
But quite often it is a good idea. For example, your last sentences --
- "The Last Cookie, whether gone forever, or underneath the jar where nobody thought to look, will last for all eternity as the most famous and stupid media bonanza of 2007, because 2007 was a fucking boring year. Amen."
-- is long, complex, and somewhat rambling. It moves from the subject of the Last Cookie to the boringness of the year 2007. It might be better to find a strong, simple sentence for the endpiece.
...OK, to be honest, final lines are mysterious. Often I'm damned if I understand why a perfect end-line is the right one. Why is the last line of Gallant's magnificent short story A State of Affairs -- "In the meantime, I send you God's favor" -- exactly appropriate? I'm blasted to flinders if I know why. But now I'm rambling.
As always, I encourage you to revise and edit your article, and after you have finished that, revise and edit your article some more. ("Richness comes from revision" said some literary bastard, I can't be bothered to Google out who.) During revision play around with structure and rhythm and see what you think works. Have some fun with it.
This is a good idea, well-written, with well-chosen illustrations. I'm glad you found your way to Uncyc, and hope to read more of your stuff here.--OEJ 16:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Why don't you try changing the paragraph about the dog so you treat it like a normal human under interrogation. "Scooter offered no comment on the likely culprit, at one point hanging out his tongue in dumb insolence. It is thought that he is refusing to testify without a solicitor present." Something along those kind of lines could work well. Good article though. Kelpan 18:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The cost of higher learning? Free, in some cases
I found a great story called "How to take a course at MIT for free–at home" published in Sunday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and I just have to share this with you.
For those of us who just can't seem to learn enough, there's a wide selection of free "open courseware" material available online.
You won't receive credit–this means no certificate or degree–from this coursework. But, you'll learn something new from some of the leading educators in the country.
You can take these courses and expand your understanding on a subject–actions that can help you decide whether to pursue particular subject matter for a degree.
You won't likely get extensive feedback from the course professor–maybe no feedback at all.
But look at the cool things you can learn! Think about the possibilites–whether you're a homeschooler, or pre-college student trying to decide on a course of study, or just someone who likes to learn.
Right now, MIT is the goldmine for open coursework, as far as I can tell. MIT has 1,700 courses from which to choose. Departments include astronautics (whoa!), biology, civil & environmental engineering, literature, mathematics, and foreign languages & literatures. You'll find dozens more departments.
The University of Notre Dame has several departments offering courses, including architecture, history, and philosophy.
The University of California-Berkeley offers tons of lecture videos. I'm going to watch "Physics for Future Presidents." I don't aspire to be president of anything–but physics is really neat.
Visit the Open Course Consortium for a wide variety of resources.
Apple has iTunesU, where you can access audio and video from all over.
My little sister is a junior in high school. I'm going to make sure she knows about these resources so she can get a glimpse on college coursework.
Have you taken an "open course"? How did it go? Do you have suggestions on some to take or avoid? What do you think of these opportunities?
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.

"I followed the recipe exactly and to get 24 cookies, you had to make fairly thin cookies. Then, as you attempt to assemble the cookies, they often fell apart. The chocolate ended up to be too thick. All in all, trying this recipe was a complete failure. Very disappointed, as I was to take them to an event."

Grooving outdoors means it's summer in Sydney, writes Amy Lawson.
The dance music scene is alive and well in Sydney if this summer's array of festivals is anything to go by.
Tickets have sold out to two of the biggest festivals on offer - Field Day and the first Big Day Out - an indication of their popularity.
Libby Clark, general manager of In the Mix, an independent website on the Australian dance music and clubbing scene, said it was proof that Sydneysiders loved to combine the outdoors with their passion for music.
"Why be in a nightclub when you can be out in the fresh air, flashing your tan, looking fantastic and having a great time?" she said.
While the lure of dancing away the summer days under a blue sky is one factor, the music is the main drawcard.
From house and hip-hop to trance and techno - every taste on the dance music spectrum is catered for.
Clark says there is a fantastic diversity of music at this summer's festivals.
"There are really underground acts and then there are incredibly commercially successful acts that are performing," she said.
But for $50 to $100-plus a pop, deciding which festivals to go to is the tough part.
Early-bird tickets have been snapped up for the January 31 Good Vibrations festival in Centennial Park and organiser Andy Rigby expects remaining tickets to sell out soon.
With an impressive line-up of local and international acts, including UK act Moloko, hip-hop veterans Gang Starr, Nitin Sawhney, Blackalicious and more, Clark rates this as one of summer's top picks.
"Obviously it's delivering a different kind of style, with a very strong emphasis on live music, which, in an electronic music festival, isn't always the case," she said, adding that the diverse live stages - covering hip-hop, reggae, house, world music, soul, funk, latin and jazz - and picturesque surrounds have made the event such a hit in its inaugural year.
Another event proving the popularity of the outdoor dance party is Field Day. The New Year's Day event, which will attract 20,000 people to The Domain, is seeing an increasing number of dance music fans forgoing a big New Year's Eve to cut loose on the first day of the year.
"It's selling out earlier every year, so obviously people are voting with their wallets and thinking that one's good value," Clark said.
Breaks and house music will be the sounds of the day, with the funky Groove Armada the headline act. They're supported by other strong acts, including Roger Sanchez, Yousef, Kid Kenobi, Ajax, Illya and many more.
Jonathan Wall, director of Fuzzy - the group that organises Field Day, among other big festivals - said they had worked hard to increase the size of the event, which began two years ago with 10,000 festivalgoers.
Wall attributes the growing popularity of Field Day to its uniqueness among the many other dance festivals.
"For as long as I can remember, people were always getting their hopes up about New Year's Eve events and then feeling a bit let down because they were very expensive and tended to be just another night," he said.
"So we thought why not make it so that people get something that's actually different that they're not doing every week.
"Above all, it's about the party and the people that are there and being there with your friends, but it's also an opportunity to hear quite a lot of international acts for not a hell of a lot of money."
The Big Day Out's Boiler Room is another dance venue that's proved popular over the years and next month's event looks like being no different, with internationally successful acts, such as Basement Jaxx and the Black Eyed Peas, performing.
Of course there's still the question of what to do on New Year's Eve, and it isn't any easier this year, with fans spoilt for choice.
Mobilehome, this year at Wharf 3, is always a popular option. The headline acts include internationals Tiesto, DJ Sneak, DJ Dan, Ed Real, and Tayo. Local support DJs include Jason Bye, Kate Monroe, Rogue Traders, Alex Taylor, Pee Wee, Q45 and more.
For those with their hearts set on welcoming in the new year by the sand and surf, there's Beachlife, featuring international DJs Mark Farina and Derrick Carter.
Farina, who has been described as one of the masterminds behind the deep house movement, will play both a house set and his signature Mushroom Jazz set.
One thing's for sure, after being so spoilt with outdoor events this summer, you'll never want to return to a dingy indoor nightclub again.

See Figures 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11
To adjust the tension of the alternator drive belt on all models, loosen the pivot and mounting bolts on the alternator. Using a wooden hammer handle, a broomstick or your hand, move the alternator one way or the other until the proper tension is achieved. Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal device such as a pry bar, as a lever. Tighten the mounting bolts securely, run the engine about a minute, stop the engine then recheck the belt tension.
Fig. 7: Some models use a tension adjusting bolt
Fig. 8: Loosen the pivot bolt ...
Fig. 9: ... then push the component inwards
Fig. 10: Slip the old belt off and the new one on ...
Fig. 11: ... then pull outwards to tension the belt
Air Conditioning Compressor
A/C compressor (always use caution when working near the A/C compressor) belt tension can be adjusted by turning the tension adjusting bolt which is located on the compressor tensioner bracket. Turn the bolt clockwise to tighten the belt and counterclockwise to loosen it.
Power Steering Pump
Tension on the power steering belt is adjusted by means of an idler pulley (some models may use just a lower adjusting bracket setup-similar to alternator adjustment service procedure). Loosen the lock bolt and turn the adjusting bolt on the idler pulley until the desired tension is felt and then tighten the lock bolt.
On some engines the washer reservoir tank may need to be removed first. If a belt must be replaced, the driven unit must be loosened and moved to its extreme loosest position, generally by moving it toward the center of the motor. After removing the old belt, check the pulleys for dirt or built-up material which could affect belt contact. Carefully install the new belt, remembering that it is new and unused - it may appear to be just a little too small to fit over the pulley flanges. Fit the belt over the largest pulley (usually the crankshaft pulley at the bottom center of the motor) first, then work on the smaller one(s). Gentle pressure in the direction of rotation is helpful. Some belts run around a third or idler pulley, which acts as an additional pivot in the belt's path. It may be possible to loosen the idler pulley as well as the main component, making your job much easier. Depending on which belt(s) you are changing, it may be necessary to loosen or remove other interfering belts to get at the one(s) you want.
When buying replacement belts, remember that the fit is critical according to the length of the belt, the width of the belt, the depth of the belt and the angle or profile of the V shape (always match up old belt with new belt if possible). The belt shape should exactly match the shape of the pulley; belts that are not an exact match can cause noise, slippage and premature failure.
After the new belt is installed, draw tension on it by moving the driven unit away from the motor and tighten its mounting bolts. This is sometimes a three- or four-handed job; you may find an assistant helpful. Make sure that all the bolts you loosened get retightened and that any other loosened belts also have the correct tension. A new belt can be expected to stretch a bit after installation so be prepared to re-adjust your new belt.
After installing a new belt, run the engine for about 5 minutes and then recheck the belt tension.

Rymill Coonawarra, South Australia has been off my radar for some time. The only reason being – well – the wines they were producing (specifically cabernet sauvignon) weren't interesting enough to seek out. In fact, so many of them from the late 1990s the early 2000s were excessively influenced by the "spoilage yeast" brettanomyces that I wanted to keep as far away from them as possible.
But the winery promised something new and exciting was on the horizon with the recent announcement of a flagship cabernet sauvignon, The Surveyor 2010, named for John Riddoch Rymill, who from 1934 to 1937 led the British Graham Land Expedition to the Antarctic surveying 2000 kilometres of unexplored coastline.
The launch was to be accompanied by an historical 'good, the bad, and the inspiring' tasting that I was keen to attend. Not to assess the disasters of the period mentioned, but to look at the good things that have been happening from the mid-2000s on. The "Maturation Release" of 2005 had signalled excellent things were afoot – it's a delightfully woodsy, crisp, classic Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon – as well as tastings of more recent releases in blind, peer-group tastings.
Elemental sulphur additions and, just as importantly, the timing of those additions, is a vital tool in keeping the bad smells and tastes of brettanomyces at bay.
The recent Rymill cabernet sauvignon releases are a purist cabernet sauvignon lover's delight. Although for those who prefer cabernet sauvignon to have its varietal character smashed out of it, they may be a little bit too "herbal".
Gimon believes this character is not only part of the identity of Rymill, but something more important in a broader wine sense. "The starting point of a wine will be different to where it goes," she said. "It's part of the evolution. Take a wine like our '05, for example, which had those tea and tomato leaves when young, but they've now developed into amazing secondary characters [while in bottle]."
It is an interesting exercise to look at the 2005 ($45) and 2010 ($32) side-by-side (both are currently available). It is possible to smell and taste where both have come from and what they can become.
The Surveyor 2010 is an impressive wine and at $80 a bottle it should be. It is expressively cabernet sauvignon, of cabernet from Coonawarra, and a serious wine that will develop positively in bottle. Like many a flagship wine though, I don't see a big difference, quality-wise, between it and the winery's standard bottling.
I do have a gripe with packaging: the glass. Filled with wine, the bottle weighs 1.98kg on my scales. I call these GWBs – global warming bottles – and I puzzle over their use here given our purported love of the natural environment. It would be nice to think future surveyors of the Antarctic would still find some ice left.

What Makes Analogue Photography Special For Me?2012-11-19 6 38 Share Tweet
I recently read an excellent book called 'Retromania' by the music journalist Simon Reynolds. In one chapter, Reynolds examines 'The Twilight of Music as an Object'; the chapter suggests that in the digital era, music has become a simple commodity that anyone can access, whenever they want. This chapter made me think about my own experiences with photography and why analogue photography has certain special and unique qualities for me.
To begin with, it should be stressed that this article is not meant to be a tirade against digital photography. Like many others within the Lomography community, I still value digital photography for all kinds of reasons and offer this article only as an argument against the idea that digital photography is the only reasonable method for photographers in the 21st century. Before I discovered Lomography in 2010, besides some time experimenting in a darkroom at University, I had only limited experience with analogue photography; since then, there has been a complete shift and the vast majority of the photos I now take are analogue (I also am lucky enough to work at Lomography HQ in Vienna!). I want to try and explain how this change in perspective happened and why I believe analogue now offers certain unique advantages and motivations for me (just as digital undoubtedly has its own range of advantages too).
In the chapter 'The Twilight as Music as an Object' in his book Retromania, Simon Reynolds puts forward an argument as to why music has become a 'devalued currency' – That is, why it has lost something which once made it special and treasured in the past. Before the advent of IPods and the MP3 format, Reynolds describes how music was something that had to be searched for and debated over before being gained. The act of purchasing an album was a real decision that had to be mulled over. But with the dawn of the MP3 era, music became accessible in an unprecedented way. Now people can access the latest albums, sometimes before they have even been released, as well as huge archives of past music.
In a similar way, I believe there is a sense in which digital photography can (when valued as the supreme photographic medium) devalue the currency of the photograph. With digital, you can take a photograph whenever you want and are immediately gifted with the fruits of your labor on a screen. You snap and then you see. This means you can shoot thousands of photos without a second thought. The value of each photograph as a single, intrinsically valuable entity becomes lost when every photo is so easily taken (and deleted).
In contrast, by its very nature, analogue forces you to concentrate on the next photographic moment. You have no LCD screen through which to preview your results. This means you take a photo and are immediately ready again to shoot the next one; you're freed from considerations about what that last photo looks like – All that matters is the here and now of the next shot. You are also limited by the number of exposures on your film roll and that adds a sense of importance to each snap – Every photo is of intrinsic worth because it takes up a space on the roll that can't be deleted or replaced – What is done can't be undone.
Reynolds makes several related points about the analogue/digital shift in music that also seem relevant to photography. Speaking of the shift from vinyl and CDs to MP3s, he writes: "It was easier to form an attachment to music when it was a thing". When it was a physical entity that you held in your hand, music had something extra-special about it. You valued this vinyl because you had gone out and bought it; you'd browsed through the shelves of music, made your choice and now have it in your hand or spinning on the record player. In contrast, in the digital era of MP3s, music has taken on a ghostlike quality; you download or stream it from the internet and yet there is a sense in which it is never really yours – Without a physical presence, music has become reduced to an idea; something forever intangible.
Similarly, whilst we all love the fact that we can share digital copies of our analogue snaps online, there remains something special (for me at least) about holding prints in your hand after getting them back from the lab. Even when only a few shots on the roll come out how you were hoping, I love that feeling of excitement you get rummaging through the shots and deciding which to frame or stick in a photo album later.
Finally, Reynolds makes a very interesting comment on the shift from 'Either/or' analogue thinking to 'Plus/and' digital thinking. In terms of music, in the olden days you often had to make an either/or choice about which new vinyl or CD you wanted to own – Due to monetary restrictions, you couldn't have everything and so had to make a decision about which new music you'd most like to take home. But with the introduction of digital music sites such as Napster and Spotify, there is really nothing stopping you from listening to album x, y and z right here, right now.
This contrast between analogue and digital in photography works in a similar way. Holding an analogue camera in your hand, you are faced with a choice – 'Do I really want to take this subject x or should I save this frame for subject y?'. In contrast, with a digital camera, you can take photo x, y and z without a second thought. Of course, this fact is also one of the advantages of the digital medium. We often want to be able to snap away without having to worry about having only 5 or so shots left on a film roll. Undeniably this is part of the appeal of digital photography – That we have the choice to take photos of anything, whenever. But there is also a real sense in which something is lost when we can have everything, whenever we want – With digital photography, we are spoilt for choice and often end up not valuing the results of our work as deeply as if we had been limited by 36 exposures.
So what conclusions, if any, can we draw from this situation? Should it change the way we go about taking photos, analogue or digital? No, I don't think so. As we've seen, the immediacy and instant gratification of digital photography is the very reason why we love it for certain occasions. But I do believe that digital offers a double-edged sword – Its advantages can also be viewed as its weaknesses. I believe it's the unique nature of film photography that makes it remain special in the 21st century. I love analogue because of its limitations, imperfections and random results. I love analogue photography because it offers me something real, tangible and something I value for its own sake. So next time you're out shooting with your analogue camera, why not ask yourself this same question – "What makes analogue photography special for me?".

A TEENAGER who had been watching a fireworks display in Canberra's federal government precinct was seriously injured and untended for 36 hours after falling into a deep construction hole at the city's top-secret building project, the new ASIO headquarters.
The largest Commonwealth construction project since the new Parliament House was built in the 1980s, the site is treated with far more secrecy.
The 19-year-old climbed over a roadwork sign and then a tall chainlink fence to get into the site about 8.30pm on Saturday, about the same time a ''Skyfire'' fireworks event was taking place at nearby Lake Burley Griffin.
The teenager, who sources said was found with a small marijuana bowl, then clambered over a safety fence in front of a nine-metre drop, just where the basement for the building is being constructed.
''He's landed on a bit of concrete up against excavation and lay there with serious head injuries for almost 36 hours,'' Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union branch secretary Dean Hall said.
Believed to have been semi-conscious much of the time, and despite security guards touring the perimeter of the site every 10 minutes over the weekend, the teenager lay in the hole until a worker found him about 9am on Monday. He is now in a serious condition in Canberra Hospital.
Mr Hall said he was ''extremely concerned'' about safety at the $589 million building site, which has been described by a local architect as Canberra's answer to the Lubyanka, the infamous KGB headquarters in Moscow.
It is not the first time local residents have run into trouble at the site, with two student filmmakers questioned by police in March after filming near the ASIO building.
The construction is managed by the impressively named ''Section 49 Office Project Branch'' within the Finance Department, which employs seven staff at a cost of $3.8 million over five years.

William Lyon Homes, the Newport Beach, Calif.-based developer, announced last week that it will file for bankruptcy protection, the Orange County Register reported. The filing is part of a debt reorganization plan that will likely give control of the company, run by Orange County builder Gen. William Lyon, to a New York hedge fund.
Lyon Homes announced that "it has commenced the solicitation of votes for a prepackaged plan of reorganization to facilitate its recapitalization and ensure it remains a leading homebuilder for years to come." The plan is to quickly exit bankruptcy with a new financial structure by the end of the first quarter 2012.
Lyon Homes added that this plan "contemplates no impairment of any business relationships and full payment of all obligations to the company's business partners, vendors and employees."
Two weeks ago, Lyon Homes and its key financial partners agreed to a recapitalization that would bring in $85 million in fresh cash and shrink and extend Lyon Homes' debts.

* GE, IBM shares drop after earnings
* Preliminary July UMich reading misses expectations
* Indexes up: Dow 0.51 pct, S&P 0.65 pct, Nasdaq 1.05 pct (Updates to late morning, updates earnings data)
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, July 18 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rebounded modestly on Friday, after the S&P 500 suffered its worst decline since April 10 a day earlier, with the benchmark index on pace to post a slight gain for the week.
Market participants will keep a close eye on geopolitical tensions, as the United States said Friday it could not rule out that Russia may have assisted separatists in firing a missile that likely downed a Malaysian airliner Thursday at the Ukraine-Russia border, killing nearly 300 people. Investors were also wary as Israel began a Gaza ground campaign on Thursday.
The CBOE Volatility index dropped 14.3 percent to 12.46, after a 32 percent surge to 14.54 in the prior session - its biggest jump since April 2013. The index still remains well below its historical average of around 20.
Google Inc gained 2.9 percent to $597.44 as the biggest boost to the S&P 500 after the world's No.1 Internet search company posted second-quarter results and said its chief business officer would leave the company.
"It seems counter-intuitive given the ruthlessness with which the market sold off yesterday, but in the broader context the markets are generating a lot of attractive themes," said Peter Kenny, chief market strategist at Clearpool Group in New York.
"We have an economy that is expanding - we have many data points that support that narrative - we are in the middle of earnings season and earnings season has given investors reason to believe that what we have seen in the headlines over the last day or two, though very important, aren't what is driving investment decisions."
General Electric shed 1 percent to $26.34 after the conglomerate posted growth in second-quarter earnings that matched expectations.
Fellow Dow component IBM also lost ground, down 0.3 percent to $191.95, after the world's largest technology company reported its software business grew less than expected even as quarterly earnings beat analysts' expectations.
But Honeywell International, a maker of aircraft cockpit parts and other electronic equipment, raised the lower end of its 2014 profit forecast range and reported better-than-expected quarterly profit. Its shares gained 1 percent to $96.09
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 86.99 points or 0.51 percent, to 17,063.8, the S&P 500 gained 12.8 points or 0.65 percent, to 1,970.92 and the Nasdaq Composite added 45.72 points or 1.05 percent, to 4,409.17.
For the week, the S&P 500 is up 0.1 percent, the Dow is up 0.7 percent and the Nasdaq is down 0.2 percent.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's preliminary July reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment came in at 81.3, slightly below the consensus analyst expectation and the final June read, but a gauge of future economic activity by the Conference Board supported views of a stronger second half for the economy.
S&P 500 companies' profits are expected to grow 5 percent in the second quarter, according to Thomson Reuters data, down from the 8.4 percent growth forecast at the start of April. Revenue is seen up 3.2 percent.
Thomson Reuters data also shows that of 82 companies in the S&P 500 that reported earnings through Friday morning, 68.3 percent beat Wall Street expectations, roughly in line with the 67 percent rate for the past four quarters and above the 63 percent rate since 1994. (Editing by Bernadette Baum)


text: Fusion drive is a complete sham and useless in real life. It looks good in benchmarks because they are just doing little tests that don't fill up the hard drive so of course it will have the same speeds as an SSD. But in reality once you fill up even a small portion of the total space most of your data will be on the normal HDD which by the way is only 5400 rpm anyway. It is pure novelty and likely more dangerous because it means if even one drive fails all your data is gone. Twice as likely for disaster. Avoid it at all costs. This is not an opinion it is fact.

But standing in the 28-year-old's way are British and Irish Lions duo O'Connell and O'Callaghan, the pairing also running out for Munster together.
However, Charteris, who won his first cap against South Africa in 2004 and has been a mainstay ever since barring injuries, is relishing the challenge of testing himself against two worthy opponents.
"They are both quality players. O'Connell probably gets more of the limelight, but O'Callaghan is a class player in his own right. He does probably more of the donkey work," he said.
"Both of them are really good players, and it will be a challenge to keep up with those two.
"I have not played with O'Connell, but how he leads is obviously a big part of his game. Playing against him, you see he's a good competitor.
"He will go up in the air on our throw, he does his homework on opponents, he is an honest worker around the field and he carries a lot for them as well."
"The days of being intimidated in rugby are long gone," he added. "It is a challenge, and one that excites you.
"When you come up against a highly-rated pair it means you just have to raise your game.
"I always have the mindset that the better the opposition the more you have to raise your game.
"That is the challenge, and that is what makes you a better player.
"I have never been intimidated before a game or during a game, as a young player or now."

The National Enquirer is reporting that Tom Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen are expecting a baby boy and are planning on naming him Gabriel.
"One of Gisele's five sisters is named Gabriela, and she's always thought it was a beautiful name," a pal told the magazine.
"Gisele was brought up a Roman Catholic, and Gabriel is an archangel, a messenger from God, in the New Testament," said the pal.
The name is quite fitting for the son of Victoria Secret Angel. If the report proves to be false they can still use Gabriella for a girl.

Home > World News > Article
Pope John Paul II has called for world leaders to resolve conflicts in Iraq, the Middle East and Africa, and used his Easter message to pray that hope would conquer the "inhuman" and growing phenomenon of terrorism.
"May the culture of life and love render vain the logic of death," he said.
John Paul delivered the message in his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" blessing - Latin for "To the City and the World" - as he celebrated Easter Mass on the flower-decked steps of St Peter's Basilica before tens of thousands of people.
The celebration is the most joyous holiday in the Christian calendar - the day according to the Bible that Jesus rose from the dead after crucifixion.
This year, Easter falls on the same day in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox calendars - a coincidence John Paul cited in expressing hope that one day the two churches might always celebrate Easter together.
"I pray to the risen Lord that all of us baptised may soon be able to together relive this fundamental feast of our faith each year on the same day," he said.
Speaking strongly and clearly despite having completed a gruelling spate of Holy Week ceremonies, John Paul urged the faithful to find the courage to confront the many evils facing the world today.
"In particular, may [humanity] find the strength to face the inhuman and unfortunately growing phenomenon of terrorism, which rejects life and brings anguish and uncertainty to the daily lives of so many hard-working and peaceful people," John Paul said.
He called for governments and international institutions to overcome the troubles afflicting people around the globe and work for a more peaceful world order.
"May world leaders be confirmed and sustained in their efforts to resolve satisfactorily the continuing conflicts that cause bloodshed in certain regions of Africa, Iraq and the Holy Land," he said.
John Paul has frequently used his Easter message to reflect on war, poverty and terrorism - and his remarks this year appeared particularly directed to the fresh violence in Iraq and the ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians.
"Help us to work ceaselessly for the coming of that more just and united world that you have inaugurated with your resurrection," he said.
Dressed in golden robes and a jewelled mitre, the Pope was alert and spoke clearly throughout the Mass, despite having struggled through a three-hour Easter Vigil that ended just a few hours earlier.
On Friday, the 83-year-old John Paul, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, braved the chilly night air to preside over a re-enactment of Christ's Passion at Rome's Colosseum.
In years past, John Paul himself had carried a light cross through the Good Friday ritual recreating the last hours of Jesus's life, but in recent years as his ailments worsened, he has left it to others to perform the Stations of the Cross.
On Sunday, John Paul celebrated Mass under a hazy and chilly sky, surrounded by cardinals in red and an arch of pink tulips and yellow daffodils arranged around the altar on the steps of St Peter's.
At one point during the ceremony, he laughed heartily as a toddler in traditional Asian dress struggled up the stairs of the basilica toward him with her parents and brother to present offerings. He reached out to her and blessed her and the rest of the family.
Later, he delivered his annual Easter greetings in 62 languages - including Aramaic, Hebrew, Hindi and Maori - to the applause and shouts of the crowd.
Security was relatively tight around St Peter's Square, with Italian police and Carabinieri officers checking the bags of pilgrims and tourists as they entered the piazza and a ring of police cars at its edge.
Italy stepped up security around the Vatican, monuments, airports and other sites over the Easter holiday, as it did during Christmas.

German Law
Have German Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I have a question concerning fringe benefit taxation in Germany. Since February 2012 I work and live in Germany with all my family in a city in North Rhein Westfalia. My company pays normally the rent of the flat where I live for a sum of approx. 1000 €/month while I pay all the other expenses for general administration, gas, water, etc. Starting from this month of January 2013 they informed me that they will have to apply some deduction to my salary due to the rent fee that they pay and they say that they want to deduct also the amount due for former month (february 2012-january 2013). Before they have never communicated this to me, neither during job interview when we defined the terms and condition for the job contract, the net salary.
What is according to german law the regulation concerning this materia related to the fringe benefits? How much will I be supposed to pay? Do I have some possibility to refuse the application of such extra taxation on my normal salary?
If you need extra information to evaluate the situation please let me know.
Please let me know if you are able to provide an answer to my question latest by tomorrow.
My visa was already billed in the meantime but I still do not have any answer.

Chicken & Vegetable "ribbon Pasta"
Recipe by Trinitys Momma
"Here's a fun and colorful way to pair summer vegetables with stir-fry chicken. And if you cut the zucchini and squash just right, the curvy yellow and green strips almost look like pasta! Serve it hot right out of the skillet or refrigerate in a tightly sealed container and enjoy cold the next day." This is from the clean home journal.
Top Review by Chef Tweaker
Actually deserves 3.5 stars. Not quite exciting enough for 4. (I save 4 and 5 stars for extra special recipes) I went into the recipe sceptical that it would taste good but was pleasently surprised. I liked the crisp-tender texture of the squash. I want to play around with the spices more. I think I liked the rosemary cooked with the chicken but not so much the 2nd dose because the flavor got strong. I followed the recipe except omitted the cheese and I used 2 chicken breasts. I'm not sure if I used enough squashes. It only made 2 servings for us. Even so I felt hungry after eating it. But that always happens when I have a dish that is mostly vegetables. BTW there isn't the picture that is stated in the instructions...
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb zucchini, rinsed, stem ends trimmed (2 medium)
- 1 lb summer squash, rinsed, stem ends trimmed (2 medium)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and diced
- 1 lb thin-sliced chicken cutlet, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1⁄4 cup fresh rosemary leaf, roughly chopped, divided
- 1⁄2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions See How It's Made
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into strips, pressing down firmly with the peeler so that the strips are almost as thick as a potato chip (see photo). Place vegetable strips in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper. Toss lightly and set aside.
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté, stirring constantly until garlic has softened and is transparent, about 2 minutes. Add chicken pieces and 2 Tablespoons rosemary. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until chicken is cooked through and slightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken pieces to a medium bowl and set aside.
- # Add chicken stock and remaining 2 Tablespoons of rosemary to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula. Boil until chicken stock is reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add zucchini and yellow squash strips to the skillet, stirring gently. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Toss in the reserved cooked chicken along with any juices that have collected in the bowl. If desired, add grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately.
- Chef's Note: Feel free to make substitutions. Instead of chicken, use thinly sliced steak or whole medium shrimp. Substitute carrots for the zucchini or squash. Instead of rosemary, try oregano, parsley or thyme. Add more flavor by replacing half the olive oil with margarine or butter. And cut your prep time by 10 minutes by using precooked chicken or leftovers.

Ke$ha Pics Leaked Online
Because leaking racy photos is apparently this year's Tickle Me Elmo, new pics of Ke$ha having sex appeared online over the weekend. Considering The Superficial is somehow starting to get unblocked at people's work and the shots involve a dude clearly putting his mouth where babies come from (Is that a new fad or something? I don't get it.) you can see the uncensored photos over at Egotastic. In the meantime, I added pics of Ke$ha performing in Madrid last night where her stage show is so low budget, it's literally her jumping out of old shopping carts and dumpsters which has to be all kinds of sanitary for the special friend kissing her noonerhole. I'm embarrassed I even thought otherwise.

We finally get a glimpse inside the People magazine spread with Nicole, Joel and Harlow. You can just feel the love by looking at these pictures! Harlow is a beauty, and Nicole looks so natural and relaxed. It's also cool to hear what Nicole and Joel have to say about Nicole's pregnancy, life since Harlow, who helps them babysit, and how they want to raise their baby girl. Many thanks to Celebitchy for transcribing the interview, and Popsugar for the scans. Here's some highlights from the interview below:
A year ago, would you have imagined this scene?
Joel: [Parenthood] was not in the plans. But it's the best thing that's ever happened to us. It was a gift from God. It was a big surprise but neither one of us even skipped a beat.
Nicole: Yeah, it was never like a bad thing. It's weird – even though we had only been together a few months, we had lightly talked about having a family. I think we always knew.
Joel: We just get each other. We're both laid back people. It's never been a job to be in this relationship.
How have things changed since Harlow arrived:
Nicole: It's crazy. It's almost like I don't even remember what life was like before her. She gives life a whole new meaning and a whole new purpose.
Read More After The Jump
How did you first tell Joel you were pregnant?
Nicole: I picked a really bad time! I couldn't hold it in. He was flying from Japan to Europe, so right before he gets on a 16-hour flight I was like "I have to tell you something."
How was your pregnancy?
Nicole: I didn't have morning sickness, and I was waiting for it. I was tired a lot but that was really the only thing. And according to [Joel], my hormones were really bad.
Joel: Nicole is really laid-back. You can tell her anything and she's like, "Whatever." And that was the first time I'd seen her get worked up. I'd be like, "Whoa, this is not the girl that I know." Like, if I was late – which is usually no big deal – it was like, "Where where you? You know that I've been waiting here, you couldn't even think to call?" It was cute.
Did you have any cravings?
Nicole: Nothing really crazy. I would………. (page missing)
Do you have help at home?
Joel: We don't have a nanny. We have our moms. They've helped us a lot.
Nicole: And we have to give credit to Benjo. He lives six houses down. He babysits, like really babysits.
Joel: There was a day when I'd been at work all day and Nicole hadn't left the house for 48 hours, and I was like "Let's go to a restaurant down the street," and Benji was with the baby. Then someone said they read somewhere that we were out all the time. It's crazy. You leave the house for one hour and everyone's like "She's out! She's leaving the baby!"
How is Lionel as a grandfather?
Joel: He's a great grandad. He's the best. She loves him. You have to be around Lionel to see how he is. He's just happy.
Nicole: I just think without even consciously talking about it, the family has gotten closer. [Harlow] is really the focus, and everyone has the same goal to love her and to make her happy. When Joel and I got together, he was always like, "Let's go to your dad's, let's got to your mom's," so we started going over there more. My dad always says Joel really brought the family together
Have you talked about how you want to raise Harlow?
Nicole: Joel joked my whole pregnancy that he thought he would be the strict parent because I'm so laid-back and free-spirited!
Joel: She's the strict one!
Nicole: And since she was born, I've been so protective. Now Joel's like, "I'm going to be the fun parent!"
Joel: Nicole can tell the difference between a whine and a cry. I'm like "Oh, she's making a noise, I gotta go in there," And Nicole's like "Let her self-soothe for a minute and see how she does."
Nicole: I'm with her all the time. And she was part of me for so long, I know when something's wrong.
Has Harlow met Paris Hilton?
Nicole: Yeah. They went to the Ivy. Just kidding. I have to say, all of my friends, their demeanor completely changes when they're around the baby. When they come in the house, they're really mellow and careful and sweet with her. And when you're with a baby, you don't think, like "Oh, I'm this person." She spits up on you and throws up on you or goes to the bathroom or passes gas.
Who got the first smile?
Nicole: Well actually Benji did.
Joel: Now it happens all the time. We live for her smiles. When she smiles…
Nicole: We feel so good. I don't know if it was this morning – my days are blended – but I was watching her in her crib and she happened to wake up and I was like "Good mornign!" And she smiled and it was the cutest thing ever.
How has Harlow changed your perspective on life?
Nicole: Everything I do, I think about how it will benefit her or hurt her. She's never out of my mind. I stop doing things for me anymore. Everything is for her.

text: NFL.com's Mike Silver believes there's a "very real possibility" the Bears let Jay Cutler walk in free agency. Silver believes Bears coach Marc Trestman "might not place as much of a premium on arm strength as some of his peers," and that Cutler has hurt his cause by remaining turnover prone. A source "familiar with the Bears' situation" agrees. "If you're (Trestman), do you want to spend $20 million a year on Cutler, who might not be the best fit, or do you want to find someone you can mold who's efficient," the source asked rhetorically. "And if you think about how deep this (next) draft class might be, he can identify his guy and get him relatively cheap for the next few years." The Bears would be gambling by throwing in the towel on Cutler, but he turns 30 in April, and has grown increasingly injury prone. It will likely at least be considered in the Windy City.
