Cameron Diaz is said to have been secretly dating Scottish actor Gerard Butler.
Recently claimed to be feeling happy with her single status, Cameron Diaz sparks another romance rumor after she's been reported to be dating movie hunk Gerard Butler. The twosome reportedly have been enjoying a string of secret dates.
Cammy and Butler are said to have been on three dates in just ten days. They recently were seen at Teddy's Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel, where an onlooker claimed, "there was a lot of thigh and arm touching which got more progressive as the night went on".
A few days earlier the supposed new lovers were spotted having a romantic dinner at The Chateau Marmont hotel. Way back last week Cammy and Butler were seen sharing drinks at Shutters Hotel. A source who saw the pair said, "They walked up to the balcony area to look at the sunset. He had one arm round her waist and the other on the small of her back. She kept giggling and touching his chest to whisper in his ear. They obviously had a good night."
Hasn't been involved in a serious relationship since splitting from pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake last year, Cammy has since then been romantically linked to magician Criss Angel and singer John Mayer among others. The movie beauty recently stated in an interview with GQ Magazine, "It's been nice not having a boyfriend for the past year. In fact, it's the first time I haven't had one in 10 years and I'm enjoying what I'm getting out of this moment. I could be in a relationship if I wanted to be but I haven't finished doing what I'm doing. But when I'm in a relationship I'm very loyal and committed. I give a lot."
As for Butler, he once was reported to be dating troubled supermodel Naomi Campbell.

This is the promise of The Advantage, Patrick Lencioni's bold manifesto about the most unexploited opportunity in modern business. In his immensely readable and accessible style, Lencioni makes the case that there is no better way to achieve profound improvement in an organization than by attacking the root causes of dysfunction, politics, and confusion.
While too many leaders are still limiting their search for advantage to conventional and largely exhausted areas like marketing, strategy, and technology, Lencioni demonstrates that there is an untapped gold mine sitting right beneath them. Instead of trying to become smarter, he asserts that leaders and organizations need to shift their focus to becoming healthier, allowing them to tap into the more-than-sufficient intelligence and expertise they already have.
The author of numerous best-selling business fables including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and Death by Meeting, Lencioni here draws upon his 20 years of writing, field research, and executive consulting to some of the world's leading organizations. He combines real-world stories and anecdotes with practical, actionable advice to create a work that is at once a great read and an invaluable, hands-on tool. The result is, without a doubt, Lencioni's most comprehensive, significant, and essential work to date.

"Great book"
Provides a roadmap of: creating cohesive leadership teams, identifying values/vision/mission, define goals, translate into a plan and how to monitor progress through effective communication/cooperation.
"A playbook for executives"
This is a simple and straightforward book on how to lead a company to its most effectively functioning state.
In a similar way to Stephen Covey's 7 Habits guide to being successful as a person, The Advantage points out in a direct but unpatronising way exactly what the most important things are when it comes to shaping up an organisation and improving its 'health'.
Signs of unhealthy organisations can be seen everywhere - on the TV and in newspapers as well as in committees and meeting rooms and by the water cooler. Too much email, bureaucracy and poor meetings that sap engagement and inconsistent, unprincipled leadership that sets a poor example and fails to inspire anyone to give their best performance.
If you run an organisation - large or small - I recommend this book to you.
"Full of useful practice and theory"
I agree with the theory and will use the practical advices. It was interesting from the beginning ti the end.
This book changed the way I think about managing my companies and let me understand a lot of staff's behavior that run through my companies for a long time and I have started to eliminate it after reading this book
"Good book for leaders of an organization"
The author calls it "organizational health." I prefer to think of it as an authentic organization. Health gives the impression that it's a matter of following a regiment of good habits. Whereas authentic implies that it has to come from within the individuals. The book applies to leaders of an organization, not so much to workers. If you're not a manager, you would not even get to practice the first discipline of building a cohesive team (build trust, work through conflicts, commit to decisions, be accountable, and focus on results). The other three disciplines really need to come the top leadership of the organization - create clarity in purpose and direction of the organization, over communicate that message, and reinforce that message.
"More please"
I have read all Patrick Lencioni's books twice, except for this one because it only came out in March. I plan to read it again within a year. I liked his book because it combined content from all his books. It is almost a how to lead and run a company. Though I wish it had a fable. By the time I got to the end of the book I wanted to read it again. So there was only initial disappointment that it did not have a fable.
The message.
His passion.
How leadership should be executed.
Wish it had a fable. Patrick's fables are fun and comprehendible.
"hits a little too close to home!"
Loved the author's ability to boil down hard topics for organizational health. A must read!
"Feels like it's for VPs"
It feels like it was written for vice presidents, but could be applicable at any level.
"A little disappointed..."
This is an summary/alignment of the other books/fables Patrick Lencioni has written. For the first time reader the individual books are more useful.
This books is useful to summarize and implement Patrick's teachings. I bought the audiobook and wish I'd just got the book to refer to.
The audiobook of the fables are great to listen to driving places...especially long distance.
"Good book - bad choice for audio book"
I really liked it - but the flaw in my plan is that I cannot highlight an audio book or make notes in the margins!!
"A different take on the usual leadership advice"
Having read all of the leadership books by John Maxwell and others, this book gives actual practices that can be applied when you're working with your leadership team. Although I work in education, almost all of the recommendations in this book can be applied. This is one of my more favorite leadership books and I will listen to it over and over.
"organizational changes structure"
if you are looking to perform some organizational changes and revisit how your leadership functions this book can provide a nice framework to go about it. while clearly most focused on exec it can be relavent to a department leadership group as well.
"Excellent Resource on Organizational Health"
Direct, concise, relevant.
His ability to target leaders and place the onus on them. He repeatedly references the influence a leader has in influencing organizational health, which I know can be easy to forget when it's not deliberately practiced while building your own leadership foundation and skills.
He wrote the book, he read it, and he gets his point across in a way that almost sounds conversational. It's very easy to listen to this book. I love this, especially after listening to several audiobooks where the narrator droned on (and to think - some of those audiobooks' narrators are lauded for their delivery).
No specific part of the book moved me. It's a quick listen/read, so I have to default to saying that the book as a whole moved me and started to cause me to think more proactively about the way I lead. I appreciate this conciseness, and I think this will be a book I listen to multiple times for the sake of refreshing my memory.
We easily forget the basics. This book helps draw us into some of those and gives guidance for how to build off of them. Lencioni manages to keep this book concise by referencing skills or methods for enhancing organizational health and leaving the reader/listener to do their homework and learn about them for themselves (that is, he references the fact that he is not an all-encompassing expert and that this book is not meant to answer every question). If you want a book that has everything in one place - this is not that book. But if you want a book that helps you build up momentum towards enhancing your leadership, this is a great place to start.

The Real History Behind The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code caused a huge sensation when it came out in 2003. The book, a modern twist on the Holy Grail quest, has sold over 20 million copies in 42 languages. It claimed to reveal an extraordinary alternate history of the Western world, including the existence of Jesus Christ's surviving bloodline, which was protected for 2,000 years by a secret society called the Priory of Sion. The question is: How much of the novel is true? Not a lot, according to Sharan Newman, a medieval novelist and scholar. Her book, The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code, investigates the historical figures, places, and events behind Brown's thriller. While The Da Vinci Code is a great yarn, she writes, it makes numerous factual distortions and was largely inspired by another book, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, that is far from credible. The real Priory of Sion, Newman writes, was founded in the 1950s by a French far-right extremist named Pierre Plantard, who tried to pass himself off as a descendant of Dagobert II and, therefore, as the rightful king of France. Newman writes that French historians have discredited Plantard's claims as a hoax. In The Da Vinci Code, the Priory is said to have been led by an illustrious line of grand masters, including Leonardo Da Vinci. Newman writes that Leonardo, while certainly a genius, was famously erratic, undependable, and easily distracted--far too flaky, she suggests, to be chosen to lead any group, let alone one supposedly as secret and important as the Priory. Newman says The Da Vinci Code also makes basic mistakes about Parisian geography, the layout of the Louvre museum, and important facts of French and biblical history. So did Jesus have children? Newman says there is no evidence for that either. Overall, her book is a salient reminder that fiction is sometimes just that. --Alex Roslin Product Description Millions have been enthralled by The Da Vinci Code's fascinating historical speculations-and the blockbuster novel's audience has also made bestsellers of several books offering to separate the facts from the fiction. This comprehensive, encyclopedic volume is written by an acclaimed medievalist-and takes an objective, history-based approach to the phenomenon and the questions it has raised. The Real History Behind the Da Vinci Code gives easy-to-find, clear answers about the people, places, and events that play roles in Dan Brown's tantalizing thriller in a lively, encyclopedic format-shedding new light on some of the deepest mysteries of the Dark Ages. Further, the author has visited all of the sites in France and England which are settings in The Da Vinci Code, offering unprecedented insight into these locations--for armchair travellers, or for fans who wish to go and visit these sites themselves.

Foxconn planning new iPhone factory, will it be building a CDMA version?
This article contains unofficial information.
A long time rumor that we reported on starting in February and last touched on in June, is back in play now, as this month contract manufacturer Pegatron is supposedly building a CDMA version of Apple's touchscreen device for Verizon, Sprint, China Telecom and other CDMA flavored carriers. An expected T-Mobile model could develop with a second GSM version.

When I see a cdma version then I'll believe it, until that happens, I'm kinda tired of the rumors.
3. Kiltlifter (Posts: 742; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
I would assume this would be an LTE factory... possibly with the hybrid chips... Qualcomm makes a chipset that has all global bands in one CDMA2000/GSM/UMTS/EVDO/LTE/WiMAX... All of them. So if apple were to purchase these chips they could make ONE model iPhone and put it anywhere in the World, but we will see. I am an Apple Hater so I don't care, but there are many that do. Windows 7 Phones are what I am looking for.

I'm afraid Microsoft may have missed the boat on smartphones. They do have a lot of money to throw around but Android is ahead in the game and they have the wind to their back. Apple and Blackberry will settle into their niche over the next few years. I get irritated by all the Microsoft haters who think Microsoft can't do anything right. +/-90% of the computer in America are Window's Operating system and probably 95% or more of business computer networks are Windows Operating System. Yeah Microsoft has really been f*ck1ng up lately but you don't get where they are by being incompetent. I think Microsoft's problem is more complacency than incompetance.

I hope it does go to all carriers then people will see Android is just as good and you can choose what brand phone maker you want (ie. Motorola, Samsong, Sony, HTC). IPhone is a cool device but there are allot to choose from that can do the exact same thing.

Graeme Base's Animalia
Children's book review by Steve Barancik
Ages 2-200
Have you ever watched your young child being read to?
It's an experience not to be missed. Watch your child's eyes flit about the page, searching out visual information.
It's gratifying. It's encouraging. You can see for yourself how much your child has bought into these things we call "books." I consider hungry eyes the sign of a future reader!
And that's why Graeme Base is one of my favorite children's book author/illustrators. His books are a feast - and a challenge - for eyes both young and old.
Base's 1986 alphabet book, Animalia, is still in print and likely always will be. It's an alphabet book like no other.
An Armoured Armadillo Avoiding An Angry Alligator
I'm guessing you can guess which letter Base addresses on this page, but if you expect to see only an alligator and an armadillo, well, you have another think coming. I spot an
...and of course, an alphabet. And, if I were to keep looking, I'm quite confident I would find much more.
Animalia, like all Graeme Base books, operates on a number of visual levels. In addition to the detailed foreground pictures, there's a Where's Waldo-like child to be spotted on every page, and much evanescently alphabetic content, e.g. a bull, bicycle and backgammon board hidden in a blue butterfly's wings.
Base promises "a thousand things, or maybe more" to find in this alphabet book, and I promise he's not exaggerating. That's a thousand triumphs for your child to experience, making the book a bargain at any price.
In addition to Animalia, Base has done a good number of books in the same style, and even this adult never grows tired of them. Take Jungle Drums, the story of Ngiri Mdogo, the smallest warthog in Africa. This Base book is another visual feast, this time with a wildly engaging narrative. Again, there are hidden images to ferret out, and subtle visual changes in the various characters for your child to spot. Base takes "One of these things is not like the others" to a whole new level.
Down the road, teachers will be asking our children not just to read words on the page but to interpret and evaluate them, to try to appreciate not just what's said but what's unsaid. I don't know how you could beat a Graeme Base book for establishing a book's potential, the belief that there can be more there than immediately meets the eye.
Parent and child can always close one of Base's books knowing that there will be more to discover the next time.
That's why I recommend Graeme Base's Animalia - in fact, ALL the Graeme Base books. Make the point to your child that there's always more to be gotten from a good book.
Webmaster's note: Read reviews of more alphabet books on this site. Also, find a review of Graeme Base's The Legend of the Golden Snail.

Release: New Study Shows Superior Ability of PledOx to Reduce Chemotherapy Side Effects
Stockholm, 2012-12-27 12:16 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer-related cause of death in the Western world. A standard treatment in this disease is oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. However, serious side effects in more than half of the patients lead to an intolerable burden and cause dose reductions, delays, or, in worst-case scenarios, complete discontinuation of the therapy. Chemotherapy exerts negative effects on blood-forming bone marrow, which often leads to severe shortage of white blood cells. The Swedish specialty pharmaceutical company PledPharma is developing PledOx as a chemotherapy adjunct to reduce severe and dose-limiting side effects.

They used to be called widow and orphan stocks. Dividend-paying stocks have earned a reputation as solid, predictable forms of income, but are they still solid?
Dividend stocks offer capital appreciation and income that can be paid to you on a regular schedule or reinvested to boost returns until you're ready for income. This year, many companies, including Oracle and Dow Chemical, began paying higher dividends, making them even more attractive.
But as with any investment, there are risks. Dividend payout policies can change and stock prices fluctuate. As with any income-producing asset, make sure you know the tax implications, and whether it fits with your investment goals.
There are a few things to look at when considering dividend stocks. You want companies that pay dividends, but also reinvest in the company. When it comes to evaluating a company's excess cash flow, keep these two things in mind:
- The dividend payout as a percentage of the company's revenue: a higher percentage shows the company is healthy.
- Free cash flow: in other words, how much cash per share the company is generating. Once again, that gives you an idea of the financial health of the company.
There are, of course, other ways to generate investment income - including bonds and real estate investment trusts, or REITs, which are required to distribute 90 percent of their taxable income as dividends. Choose the best mix of income-producing assets for you.

U2 360: The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA
Along with 95,000 Angelenos, my friends and I enjoyed a great night with U2 and the Black Eyed Peas at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.888141&w=425&h=350&fv=offsite%3Dtrue%26lang%3Den-us%26flickr_notracking%3Dtrue%26flickr_target%3D_self%26nsid%3D67132301%40N00%26textV%3D66488%26ispro%3D1%26%26set_id%3D72157622665431236%26page_show_back_url%3D%252Fphotos%252Fdjjewelz%252Fsets%252F72157622665431236%252F%26page_show_url%3D%252Fphotos%252Fdjjewelz%252Fsets%252F72157622665431236%252Fshow%252F%26minH%3D100%26minW%3D100]
More of the same over on my U2 360 Flickr Set.
The Black Eyed Peas did a good job opening and getting the crowd excited, but you could definitely discern the generational gap between the BEP crowd and the U2 crowd, regardless of how mainstream BEP has become. Does anyone remember their first album "Behind the Front?" I use to spin tracks off of "Behind The Front" in the late 90s and have seen BEP's evolution over the last decade and it's been nothing short of incredible. BEP also tossed in a nice surprise by covering GnR's "Sweet Child O' Mine" featuring none other than Slash. That was pretty epic (Slash, not the cover).
With the stage change complete, U2 came on and covered most of their classics while playing a few tracks off their new album "No Line on the Horizon." The stage production for U2's set was jaw dropping. The accordion style screen that hovered over the center of the stage was visually stunning. I want to figure out how I can install one of those in my house, on a smaller scale of course. CNet actually has a great article detailing all the technology around the tour and this specific performance at the Rose Bowl.
And all that noise about traffic into and out of the Rose Bowl? I left Downtown LA at 6:10p (IN MY CAR), sat down to watch BEP open at 7:15p and was back in downtown eating ramen by 11:30p. It helped to
1. Have a preferred parking pass
2. Know your way around this beautiful city.
In summary, an amazing night. Now, I can cross U2, BEP, and Slash off of my bucket list. I can't wait to get the Blu-Ray.
Update: Now with YouTube Broadcast!

It's not like he tried to say it in Austrian or something.
is "U.S.A" considered a word?
The press "corpse" (Obamamania media, "non-official campaign") will let this go.
The key point, as stated previously, is thst this gaffe will get NO play in the mainstream media. But if Romney or Ryan had made such a gaffe…
Clint Eastwood was right. Joe Biden is the intellect of the Democratic Party.
One word: Dumbass.

This is so sad. Our country is just finished. Every man for himself.
Notice even on Obama's birther swag… makes the same statement and peculiar that he always makes the statement "Made in the U.S.A"…. not "Born in the U.S.A." Which technically the statement is true that Obama was "made" and fabricated in the U.S.A. via mentors such as Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, et. al.
Barry Barrack,
International man of mystery, oops, misery.
"That 3 letter word… J O B S " and "Stamped with 3 proud words… Made in the USA!"
They had to make up a Palin saying on SNL that got remembered.
These 2 do it all on their own.
USA is "a word"?
My prediction on the media 'fact checker' spin:
Looks like Biden and Obama will have to share the "I'm with stupid —–>" t-shirt.
A sure sign that we're penetrating deep into their territory
(football analogies always work) is that,
my lib co-workers no longer want to talk about 'gaffes', saying as libs always do when they're on deefense, "anyone can make a mistake". HA
after years of enduring their taunts, they no longer have the stomach to criticize Conservatives because they know I have shutdown material.
too bad, because I've loved maneuvering unsuspecting 'useful idiots' into mouthing the false 'Palinism', "I can see Russia from my house". When I tell them that she never said that, Tina Fey said that, the look on their faces was utterly priceless- that moment when they realized they were nothing more than manipulated dupes. At that point, I sneer and walk away
C'mon! Barbie said math was hard!
Wonderful gaffe. . but MSM will give Obama a pass
But during DNC, he said something worse. . not a gaffe. . but something frightening.
In Obama's DNC speech when he pretended (yes pretended) to quote the Declaration of Independence, what rights did he say we are endowed with?
If you said INalienable. . you are right. .
As in owned by a government or a slave master/dictator
The correct word is UNalienable. .
And do not hink it was a freudian slip with a speech reviewed by many many people multiple times including the President Himself. .

Starting at 11:54 mark
So I checked:
Must of went rouge from his teleprompter. Could not remember Made in American without his teleprompter, so he went with the version he seen as a child in Indonesia, Made in the USA.
Here is a thought for the debates. . They should do like Jeopardy. . .
write answer down so we can compare
Simple stuff like
Write out Pledge of Allegiance
Write out words to Star Spangled Banner
In Lincoln"s famous Gettysburg Address, what was his closing lines about government?
Made in U.S.A. (the) Is this what the thread is really about?
Okay, I cannot stand Obama's voice, his constant lies, stays one thing and then does another, DEBT, Unemployment.
you all are well aware of everything but I have got to tell you, this is minor compared to the major problems and what will happen if the voters give him a Second.
And yes four words in Made in the U.S.A. but let's get really picky and say.
MADE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I then count 7 words. Geesh!
Now taking GOD, one word, out of DNC Convention, that's NEWS.
Here are 95 examples of Barack Obama's lying, lawbreaking, corruption, and cronyism http://tinyurl.com/95examples
Even more weird and disturbing behavior surrounds this tin-pot tyrant. Comrade Barry is truly mentally ill. Does a POTUS do this? http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/09/pic-of-the-day-obama-gets-a-bear-hug/
This made me feel sick to my stomach. It's the gaffes, plus the weird, outlandish behavior that should be ringing alarm bells everywhere. The R&R campaign could have an impact by focusing on this kind of undignified behavior in a POTUS.
I'm with #30. Please, let's not harp on ridiculous things, It makes us looks small . Let's concentrate headlines on the real harm this guy is doing and will continue to do if he gets a 2nd term. Mark Levin spent pretty much his whole Friday show outlining many of the things that the Obama admin has in store for us in a 2nd term. Jim, can't you focus on some of those instaed of these inane things? Thanks.

Well, this was a real statement on Obama's ignorance or lack there of, concerning the Military. He doesn't know what a Navy Corpsman is calls him a 'Corpse Man.
But that was someone or something's fault, like the teleprompter. Now, when Obama cannot read correctly what is written down for him, he is a weak, naive and dangerous leader.
We need intelligence not a social worker. Obama is a social worker who wants everyone to live within Obama's means. A social worker is a fixer of sorts, trying to make the peace while taking their defenses away. Government can take care of you better.
He will go into debt if he has too, not his money, Government's money and who pays and pays into his spreading of the wealth, we do, we all do. So, again for me, in these 57 states, oooppps, that's Obama, WE ARE IN DEEP DEBT, WE OWN CHINA TRILLIONS, WE ARE LACKING JOBS, WE NEED TO FEEL SECURE, YET, Obama's approval ratings are so wonderful.
WHO IS COOKING THE BOOKS? and will when this insanity cease and assist. Yes, we are in a Fatal moment in history, Obama is killing America's integrity, honor, justice, pride, dignity and YET, HIS APPROVAL RATINGS AND HIS LIKEABILITY IS JUST GREAT.
'Befuddled' Obama has trouble with iPhone…
NOW, THIS. can't operate an I Phone.

This movie is 2016 and hopefully this is a good sign of what may come in November. The change and the hope we can truly believe in ROMNEY AND RYAN.

This was unconscionable, it was one of the most horrible moment in U.S. history. And our friend was watching, Israel. The Democratic Party couldn't have done anything worse.
Obama's have trouble with the word PROUD.
The comments over at YouTube on this are priceless!
Sadder than his error in how many words in "Made in the USA" is the fact that he lies about the rebirth of the manufacturing sector in America.
The lie is far more awful than the silly mistake he made.
Ask Janesville, WI how the manufacturing climate is going. Or any other town in the Midwest.
It's dead. And buried. And there is no sign of a resurrection anywhere in flyover country.
Obama lies. All the time.
Nothing is "made in America" America is the people of the nation. USA is the nation.
make a note of it. It's Made in USA. Period. I didn't watch the video but again NOTHING can be made in America by Americans. Made in USA. Haven't seen that much lately. All I see is Made in China. Glad rags and sad junk that breaks within 2 years.
Or you could say…….Made in chinese……. That's equivelant to saying " Made in America"

Let me be clear, I have been to all of the 57 states! And, dog-gone-it, I am happy to say those three words: "Free Absentee Ballots for Everyone In the USA!"

It's good to see that Republican and Rightwing people are too stupid to realize that "USA" is a set of initials and not a word.
Another case of the media setting the agenda. The issue isn't 3 or 4 or 6 words. The issue is that the I-Phone, I-Pad, etc. are made in CHINA. They may have been designed in the USA but they were built in CHINA. WE DIDN'T BUILD THAT.
Every time I see one of these videos with Obama at the podium what scares me is not so much Obama, who is only one man. It is always the hordes brain dead followers behind him that go wild at every empty pronouncement, often faint and obviously adore him in a cult-like way. they do not want a political leader, they are looking for a savior to follow. Somebody that give them meaning and take care of their problems. They do no seem to understand that politicians are just flawed humans like them who are hired to run the country, not inspire and take care of us. They are the dangerous ones bringing down this country.
Sounds like this is symptomatic of tah average american … brainless, clueless & retarded …
Made in the USA, huh?
Manufactured in Shenzhen, China, assembled at Foxconn in Taiwan.
He can't count, and apparently can't do any research, either.
Three Proud Words….
Barack Hussein Obama
Three Proud Words…
Los Estados Unidos
Three Proud Words
Made in America
By the way, the reference to Mr. Obama in this context earlier is in reference to his character, which is not humble, but proud in the worst sense.
Eh, y'all do realise 'the' and 'a' are not classically counted? Obama is actually using the conservative count of words here. I weep for the state of education in America when nobody realises this.
So much for poo-poo-ing the "american exceptionalism" Did you change your mind Barack?
You say it is bad and wrong to believe in American exceptionalism – and now you're telling people these "THREE" words?
I'm sitting in China this evening and it is no mystery why the folk around here go around with their head held high with all the high rise contruction (34 buildings being built nearing completion in my view outside my hotel window alone) and all the luxury high end cars on the their wide highways and well kept streets. No, I do not want to be "Red". The point is rather that America is selling itself far too short and can do much better than it has for the past four years. Why settle for a little when you can have a lot?
#65 John: I weep for the state of education in America when nobody realises this.
I weep for arrogant individuals who think that anyone doesn't understand that those letters, are, by definition, "words". . .by any measure of education. . . .and by any measure of count.
Even your college essays count those letters as words. . . .not sure what "weeping" you're doing for what education level, but I'm certainly sure it isn't "common sense" . . . . . .
Barack you POS
Stop betting AGAINST the American People
Here are the Facts
But the article misses one big point. . they just count jobs. .not quality of jobs and employment. . .
Under Obama, new jobs are mainly McDonald's Burger Flippers
I also weep for John, who spelled realize as realise (the British spelling, or the spelling for Americans who don't know how it's spelled).
The outcome is always so delicious when the libs appoint themselves as the smart ones, and we rarely have to wait long to see it.
And Here is another BEt against America by POS Obama!
#70 Gary:
Exactly. It may be as far as punctuational and titles, etc. . . .emphasis given in pronouncements/anouncements. . . . .
But no where in any education that I've had – lower or higher – are those not counted as words.
Even given British differences. . . . .I think those are still counted as "words" (grin)
lol. . . . .boy some people really need to read a bit more before pronoucing others as ignorant. . . . . that's an "Obama" characteristic. . . . . .we should start to call it "the Obama syndrome. . . ."'
Declaring people wrong or stupid just because you don't agree with them, or their opinions. . . .
We have any number of examples of this from Obama. . . and from his supporters also. . . .

It's good to see that Republican and Rightwing people are too stupid to realize that "USA" is a set of initials and not a word.
Oh, I see.
So, when he's says three words, it should've been Made in the and left it at that, correct?
Face it. Your Boy King screwed up.
Here are 95 examples of Barack Obama's lying, lawbreaking, corruption, and cronyism: http://tinyurl.com/95examples
Makes a Biden? Biden has made 1 or 2 word gaffes. W and Palin have made INFINITE gaffs. Big difference.
I'm pretty sure that if something is made in the USA it simply says "Made in USA" = Three (3) words!
Shame on you people!
The script probably said, "Made in America" and he decided to "improve" it. At least that's my take, which might be too generous.

Traxxas QR-1 Electric Quad-Rotor RTF Helicopter w/2.4GHz Radio
|Low Price:
This is the Traxxas QR-1 Electric Quad-Rotor Ready-to-Fly Helicopter. The Traxxas QR-1 is the easy way to experience acrobatic flying thrills and high-speed airborne excitement. Normal Flight mode makes it easy for anyone to quickly master hovering and flight just minutes after takeoff. Quad-rotor thrust and 6-axis stabilization combine in Expert Flight Mode for lightning quick response, high-speed banking turns, flips, and snap rolls. The QR-1's micro size makes it pocket-portable for indoor flight virtually anywhere, yet its quad-rotor thrust makes it powerful enough to fly outside. Blue LED lights built into the rugged body illuminate the way, and the included micro LiPo battery delivers plenty of power and recharges quickly. The QR-1 even includes an extra battery to extend your flight time and fun! The QR-1 is built for years of flying excitement with available replacement parts and custom option parts. The QR-1 is completely ready-to-fly, right down to the included LiPo batteries, handy USB-powered charger, and Traxxas AAA alkaline batteries. Traxxas protects your investment with award winning support and the exclusive Traxxas Helicopter Replacement Plan.*
NOTE: The model shown may not be an accurate representation of the body color/paint scheme you will receive. Paint schemes are selected randomly. The Traxxas QR-1 model TRA6208 is available in four different colors, red, blue, orange and green. If you would like a specific color, or scheme, please contact our customer service department prior to placing your order and we will do our best to honor your request.
2.4GHz Multi-Mode Transmitter
Connected. That is how the QR-1 feels thanks to the clarity and control of the Traxxas 2.4GHz Multi-Mode Transmitter. The dual-stick transmitter includes a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of "no channels, no crystals" 2.4GHz technology—and that's just the beginning. Each time the transmitter and QR-1 are powered on, the transmitter automatically binds to the helicopter. Switching between Normal and Expert mode is as easy pressing the right control stick. A bright LED light provides information on the fly, indicating binding status and Normal or Expert mode. Trim adjustments are quick and easy thanks to the LCD screen and digital trim adjustment buttons.
LiPo-Power for Maximum Stick Time
To maximize flight time and fun, the QR-1 includes two 240mAh Power Cell LiPo battery packs. No need to recharge after you touch down, just swap batteries and lift off! Traxxas Power Cell batteries offer consistent power flight after flight, with low weight for high-performance flying. Battery installation is simple; just slide the battery into the rear of the body and plug in for instant airborne excitement.
Dual Charger Included!
The QR-1 is too much fun to wait for a battery to charge between flights, so a Dual Battery Charger is included. Just plug it into a powered USB port, plug the batteries into the charger, and you're on the way to the next take-off. LED's keep you informed of the batteries' charge status for no-guess charging.
Exciting Aerobatics
QR-1's high thrust, low weight, and incredibly responsive controls allow you to perform amazing maneuvers with just a flick of the sticks. QR-1 aggressively snaps into forward and backward flips and barrel rolls with lightning speed. QR-1 can even make banked turns! QR-1 has the power and responsiveness to match your skills as you become a quad-rotor ace.
Six-Axis Stabilization
Sophisticated circuitry, piezoelectric gyros, and accelerometers give the QR-1 outstanding stability. Each time you power-on the QR-1, its smart software calibrates the model for stable flight. Take your hands off the sticks, and the QR-1 returns to a solid and steady hover.
*Exclusive Helicopter Replacement Plan
The QR-1 is built for years of flying fun. Replacement parts are available to keep your QR-1 airworthy, and like all Traxxas products, the QR-1 is backed by the award-winning service and support you have come to expect from Traxxas. The QR-1 is also included in the exclusive Helicopter Replacement Plan.* You can trade in your QR-1 at any time, and in any condition, and purchase a new model (transmitter not included) for just half the list price of the ready-to-fly QR-1!

TPWD Print-Friendly Page: http://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/print.phtml?req=20040202fMedia Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 [KE]
TPWD Website: http://tpwd.texas.gov
TPWD News Release — Feb. 2, 2004
On average, $365,000 of Civil Restitution is assessed annually. Collection has averaged $297,000 a year since passage of the enhanced penalty in 1999. It is TPWD's belief that this program has a two-fold benefit, Bishop said. "Not only are we able to recover funds that benefit the department's efforts to manage and conserve the natural resources of Texas but we have also raised the awareness of the general public as is evident in the gradual decrease of civil restitution cases filed each year."
To date, more than $7 million in civil restitution has been assessed, of which more than $3 million has been collected and deposited in Fund 9. The Resource Protection Division also conducts some Civil Restitution assessment, usually involving fish kills, due to pollution or seismic activity. They report that they have collected and deposited more than $700,000 into Fund 9.
Quite often citations issued by game wardens involve the illegal taking of a resource. In 1985, the 69th legislature granted the statutory authority that allows TPWD to assess civil liability to those who unlawfully take, kill, possess or injure the wildlife or aquatic resources of our state. They also granted the Parks & Wildlife Commission the authority to set rules that establish guidelines for determining the monetary value of those resources. The monetary value of each wildlife species is obtained by considering eight scoring criteria: Recreation, Aesthetic, Educational value, Scarcity, Environmental tolerance, Economics, Recruitment, Ecological role. Value is added for Endangered/Threatened species and trophy game animals.
Some examples of Texas wildlife values include:
Restitution is a civil process and is separate from and in addition to any criminal penalty assessed by the criminal court. Historically, civil restitution was treated more as a gentleman's debt: letters were sent requesting payment. If not paid, collection could only be sought through a civil lawsuit brought by the Attorney General's office, which in most cases was not cost-effective.
A review of the program's effectiveness revealed a low collection rate and prompted the legislature to pass a statute in 1999 that allows the department to refuse to issue a license/permit/tag if the applicant has been convicted of illegally taking a resource, is liable to the state for the value of the resource, and has failed to fully pay the amount due after the department has issued notice.
A series of five letters are sent to the violator notifying them of their liability.
They are sent at monthly intervals and even include a 20 percent discount for timely payment.
The final letter advises them they have been placed on license suspension and contains a warning that if found participating in an activity requiring that license, they will be charged with a Class A misdemeanor- punishable by a fine of $500-$4,000/confinement in jail not to exceed one year/or both.
For more information about the civil restitution program, call (512) 389-4846.

Decision makers
- ManagementAttention WaterMarc Greensborough
Please do not kick out people with a disability to make more room for water aerobics!
My name is Gloria. I have a 24 year old son, Greig, who has a severe physical and mental disability. Just one of a few things he CAN do and enjoy is swimming. Yesterday he along with other people with a disability were told that they cannot use the pool on Tuesday mornings. They have been going there for over a year on a Tuesday morning. A lot of work like sourcing places, staff, transport etc goes into planning the day of a person with a disability so unfortunately they are not able to just show up at a different time. With the many challenges we face Greig looked forward to his swim on a tuesday morning and so did the others, now that's been taken away. WaterMarc have not been kind or helpful. A staff even mentioned that the people with a disability are a distraction! I would have thought a very large group of water aerobics with music etc would be more of a distraction to anyone around. Also a lot of money was spent building this facility for everyone, able and disabled. Staff do not monitor the change room that was specifically built for people in a wheelchair and people with a disability. Some able bodied people who are lazy to walk a few extra feet use this change room and people with a disability are left waiting for upto half an hour for the change room. Come on WaterMarc, change your attitude and show some duty of care. Please do not throw out our disabled people just so you can make more $$$$$!

From Geo Hashing
Thu 30 Jul 2009 in Genève, Switzerland:
In a vineyard in Mont-sur-Rolle.
Expedition: Crox[edit]
First expedition involving a car and a GPS. The hash was only about 7 km (or one highway exit) away from work. Not much to say, I parked about 300 m from the hash and walked up there. Nice weather and view.

Product Information: The cyanoacrylate glues I used in this demo are manufactured by Bob Smith Industries and are available online from Amazon (click here for link). To find ordering information on the accelerator, specifically, click here. You'll also find this brand and others in most hobby stores. Home improvement centers and hardware stores may carry cyanoacrylates, but probably won't have the accelerator.
Sometimes an object like the detail on a cuckoo clock can be difficult to repair with conventional wood glues because they are almost impossible to clamp. There is a type of glue that doesn't require any clamping. It is a cyanoacrylate glue made especially for porous materials like wood. On its own it would dry in about 30 seconds, but when sprayed with an accelerator on the connecting part, the bond is practically instantaneous.

Heavy duty as expected...
By: testaandrew
To start, these pants are very heavy (duty). I needed something that would look nice but also be durable working all day. The pants run quite a bit longer than they should and I had to hem them to fit my length proper. Also the pockets aren't as deep as they should be so be careful not to lose any change. Overall I like these pants and am satisfied switching from the normal pair I usually wear.

Carhartt B290 pants...
By: dcamos78
Very durable pants that are also extremely comfortable, especially after a few washes. I felt the sizing was off a little. I thought the waist ran a little small, and the length ran very long. Overall, though, I'm satisfied with these pants for work.

I ordered the Carhartt work pants in hopes that they might be a decent fit for a pair of work pants. I have purchased Carhartt shirts before and was happy with them. What I did not expect was a very well made, very professional looking pair of pants - which are every bit as nice as some for which I paid much more. I heartily recommend them, I will be back for more.

U21s overcome Slovenians
England Under 21s came from a goal down to claim a 2-1 win over their Slovenian counterparts.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 19/08/08 9:46pm
Goals from Micah Richards and James Milner ensured England Under 21s came from a goal down to claim a 2-1 international friendly win over their Slovenian counterparts.
Etien Velikonja had handed the away team the lead early on in the game, but England turned the game on its head before the break to claim success and stand themselves in good stead ahead of September's Uefa Under 21 Championship qualifier against Portugal.
The visitors took the lead on 12 minutes as Velikonja caught England's defence napping, latching onto Uros Korun's excellent through ball to flick past goalkeeper Joe Lewis.
England then had a strong appeal for a penalty waved away by referee Albert Toussaint after Matt Derbyshire was felled in the box, before Richards climbed high to head against the woodwork.
Stuart Pearce's side restored parity in the 25th minute with Manchester City defender Richards tapping into an empty net after causing havoc in the penalty area from Tom Huddlestone's corner.
Milner handed England the lead on 35 minutes as the Newcastle United winger swivelled on the edge of the box before dispatching into the bottom left-hand corner.
The home team twice went close to extending their advantage before the interval, with Richards and Milner both being denied by Slovenia shot-stopper Matjaz Rozman.
Michael Kightly and Tom Heaton were introduced at the break, and the former's chipped effort five minutes into the second period drew an agile save from Rozman.
Slovenia were then reduced to 10 men after Nejc Pecnik was dismissed for foul and abusive language amid claims for a spot-kick for the visitors.
England continued to create and Derbyshire was denied in the 77th minute as his low strike was expertly palmed away by Rozman, before Kightly saw his brilliant curling effort come back off the post.

Turns Out, Kids Who Got Spanked Do Better In Life
I was spanked as a child, mostly for running away and for disobeying my parents. My brother got spanked for kneeing a classmate in the balls and trying to off me every couple months. I'm pretty well-adjusted, always did well in school despite my efforts to appear "punk rock," and I certainly never thought ill of my parents for introducing me to the long arm of the law. I still meet people who I think could've benefited from a good (not sexy) spanking once in a while. And turns out, I'm right. A new study shows that children who are smacked by their parents might grow up to be happier and more successful than those who've never been hit. Children who are physically punished until the age of 6 perform better in school as teenagers and are more likely to do volunteer work and go to college. That said, those who got whipped into adolescence developed behavioral problems. [Times Online] While children's groups have been trying to have physical obedience outlawed, professor of psychology Marjorie Gunnoe says, "The claims made for not spanking children fail to hold up. They are not consistent with the data. I think of spanking as a dangerous tool, but there are times when there is a job big enough for a dangerous tool."
Apparently, it was hard to research physical discipline in the past since nearly everyone got spanked, but Gunnoe conducted the study of 2,600 people where a quarter of the subjects had never been reprimanded physically. The study showed that those smacked until the age of 6 performed slightly better on every positive measure—including academic performance and optimism for the future—and no worse on the negative measures like antisocial behavior, early sexual activity, violence, and depression. Those who were still being smacked from ages 7-11 performed slightly worse on the negative measures but were still likely to perform better academically. Now Gunnoe's trying to figure out why she got these results and suggests that maybe parents who ruled out physical discipline didn't encourage self-discipline or the social skills needed to succeed.
Were you spanked, smacked, rulered, or left ungrazed? As a product of disciplining, I believe that the hand print on my butt did serve as a reminder to be more careful and respectful. How'd you guys turn out?

Anyone else getting the shakes? You know exactly what I'm talking about. You wake up and the first thought through your mind is, gotta write, gotta write. So you sit down and almost instinctively, you pull up your NaNoWriMo file. But then you realize that you finished it. The stories over, it's time to move on.
And a part of you is completely relieved. I mean, NaNo was intense. There's something about invisible deadlines that drive one up the wall. At the same time, however, you miss it. NaNo was so there for you, all through November. It was there through the cold nights and long days. It was always patiently waiting, just hoping that you'd check in every day and leave it little notes.
It's kind of like breaking up with a boyfriend. Sure, you know that it was an amazing ride and you have some wonderful memories. You still sometimes wear the perfume he sent you and occasionally don the necklace he gave you for your one year anniversary. Sometimes you pick up your phone and start to dial his number, only to stop halfway because you know talking to him again is a huge mistake.
And now that it's over, you forget just how NEEDY he was and how he was ALWAYS THERE begging for attention. You forget that he called at strange hours of the night and really didn't let you see your other friends and family. You FORGET just how all consuming he was and that he gave you some bad habits, like skipping over important things and doing what's easy first.
So then you realize that maybe it's time for a clean break. That November is over, so maybe you should stop dwelling on NaNo and focusing on new projects.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
After I glance at my NaNo project JUST ONE MORE TIME and work on editing it...
Yes, just one more. I can quit anytime. I can. Really.

YOUNG performers from Frinton are rubbing shoulders with movie stars after clinching roles in some major motion pictures.
Lily Blackwell, 10, Sam Lake, 12, and Ellen Coleman, 13, have all taken steps towards stardom after securing small roles in a series of high profile films.
The youngsters are all part of Frinton performance school Stagestruck Academy.

The first Mako-certified orthopedic surgeons in Rhode Island and New England offer you experience and a record of superior outcomes.
Mako combines the highly developed technology of an interactive 3-D visualization system and the RIO robotic arm, providing your surgeon with the consistent pinpoint accuracy necessary to remove the worn out bone and position the implant at the optimal angle. The surgical precision of the Mako system enhances mobility and implant longevity in a total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and total hip replacement.
If you suffer from knee pain that's affecting your quality of life or you've been told you need a total knee replacement, it's worth your time to investigate Mako.
*As compared to a traditional knee replacement
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology is used for partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, and total hip replacement. The Mako technology provides your surgeon with a specific 3-D model of your anatomy to allow for a personalized surgical plan. Here's how it works:
1. Your Personalized Plan: It all begins with a CT scan of your joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create your personalized pre-operative plan.
2. In the operating room, your surgeon will use Mako to assist in performing your surgery based on your personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This helps provide more accurate placement and alignment of your implant.
3. After surgery, your surgeon, nurses and physical therapists will set goals with you to get you back on the move. They will closely monitor your condition and progress. Your surgeon may review an x-ray of your new total knee with you.
South County Hospital was the first hospital in New England to offer partial knee replacement, total knee replacement, and total hip replacement. The Orthopedic Center surgeons have performed more than 5,000 Mako surgeries to date with a record of superior outcomes. View a copy of our Quality & Outcomes Report >
Recently released clinical research data confirms what many orthopedic surgeons recognized early on: Mako offers significant improvement in patient outcome for total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, and total hip replacement because of the technology. These improved outcomes result from superior implant positioning, which directly affects patient mobility, implant longevity, and patient satisfaction. The studies compared Mako with "manual" procedures at a number of highly-regarded U.S. hospitals, performed by some of the most respected orthopedic surgeons in the country.
Other studies conducted conclude:

You! With that shaker bottle! Stop right there and tell me what's in that bottle. Protein, sure, sure. But what kind? If you don't know that your protein is easy to digest, protecting of your gut health, and sustainable, don't fret. Just pick up some Vital Proteins. Your shaker bottle is practically quivering to get some of this: Grass-Fed Whey with Collagen, spiked with cacao, sweetened gently with only coconut water. Electrolytes, probiotics, flavanols, and, of course, the best protein. Could it get any better?
Shaker bottle devotees: you now have a new friend on your post-workout recovery team. Full of the most sustainable and absorbable protein around—grass-fed whey—this powder from Vital Proteins puts the muscle back in your hustle. Forget about those protein powders with lots of weird ingredients and extra sweeteners - you don't need that stuff. What your body craves is rather simple: good protein and some helpers for digestion like fermented cocoa flavanols and probiotics. That's it. In this jar you'll find those basic ingredients and no more.
It all start with whey. Grass-fed whey for both absorption and sustainability. But whey isn't enough—to get benefits for your joints and for your digestive system Vital Proteins has added their tried-and-true collagen peptides to this mix. But those two things all by themselves don't make a very tasty blender bottle of fun, so we're going to add chocolate. Fermented cacao to be exact. And then coconut water for a bit of sweetness and a good dose of electrolytes. Top it all off with probiotics, hyaluronic acid for joint health, and even more cocoa flavanols for good measure.
This is a protein powder you can enjoy just with water, if you choose. I like it shaken up with a hit of coffee and maybe a skosh of heavy cream: the world's most recovery-friendly iced mocha. Or blend it with ice for the same thing but "frappucino'd". Really, this stuff is about as tasty as protein powder gets and with this nutritional profile there's no reason to hesitate making this your #1.
Here are just a few of the benefits to this protein powder:
There are tons of ways to use your protein powder. Start with the blender bottle and get creative. Down the hatch! However, if you're a frequent consumer of protein powders, or if the flavor is getting a little boring just mixed in that bottle, some inspirational recipes come in.
Add it to any kind of smoothie on the planet. Kale smoothie, fruit smoothie, Liz Wolfe's liver smoothie (Google it, really) - go wild. (Although maybe not the chocolate flavor powder for the liver thing....)
How about a recipe from Vital Proteins themselves? Here's one for the chocolate season (which for some of us is 365 days out of the year): brownies! To see the full recipe with far more detailed instructions, click here.
Cocoa Whey Brownies
4 eggs
1 c. coconut palm sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. butter, ghee, or coconut oil
10 oz. dark chocolate chips
3 tbsp. cacao powder
2 scoops Vital Proteins Cocoa Coconut Collagen Whey
Directions: heat oven to 350 and grease up an 8x8 pan. Combine eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until fluffy. Just barely melt together the chocolate and butter, then pour while mixing into the eggy mixture. Beat it all again, then stir in the cocoa and whey powder. Almost done!
Pour all of that into your pan. Bake 18-22 minutes, taking it out when not quite done - it will set up! That's it. Chill and share.
Vital Proteins helps people feel better and live fuller lives through sustainably-sourced nutrition products, promoting health, fitness and natural beauty. We do that by providing nourishing collagen and promoting our production of collagen - an essential nutrient stripped from our diets by modern food-processing.
We know that while our bodies' collagen production slows as we age, our need for it only grows as our bodies become less efficient and we maintain a vibrant life. And Vital Proteins believes that if you want to, you can make the most out of every moment you're given - that your body shouldn't be a limitation, but a catalyst.
Our products are natural sources of essential proteins, sourced from pasture-raised cows in Brazil and New Zealand and wild-caught fish in Hawaii. Why go so many extra miles for these sources? Because there's nothing more important than one's health, and we believe the body needs and deserves high-quality building blocks for life's adventures.
Whether we can help add a mile to your run, a glow to your complexion or just enrich your naturally vibrant life, there's a protein for everyone, and more than one reason to love Vital Proteins.
Are the cattle pasture-rasied?
Answer: Yes, our cattle graze on the lush grasslands of Brazil in South America.
Where should I store my collagen whey powder?
Answer: It is recommended to store in a cool, dark area away from moisture.
