Adult service providers who work as exotic dancers may find opportunities to entertain clients at private parties. Birthdays, bachelor/stag events, going away celebrations and other activities may warrant some scantily clad eye candy for the party goers' appreciation. But, working a private party is a lot different from doing a night at the club. Before you show up for a private gig, pay attention to these important tips so that you and your clients' experiences are as great as possible. Continue reading

Dead giveaways that your client isn't interested in hanky panky
Clients come to see adult service providers for many reasons, but most underlying intentions usually revolve around intimate pleasure. However, from time to time, an individual will have other things in mind. If you're not on your game and miss the signs that a client has threatening plans for an encounter, you will become the victim of his wrath. Also, if you aren't paying attention, you won't notice when a client needs something else other than the eventual move to somewhere "more comfortable." Regardless, there are some dead giveaways that tell you when a client isn't interested in hanky panky. They include: Continue reading

10 misjudgments that some escorts are quick to make
Escorts have been subject to judgment and stigmatization by the bulk of society for hundreds of years: people assume they are drug addicts, mentally ill, victims of abuse, immoral offcasts, perverts or a multitude of other stereotypes. However, escorts are just like anybody else: they have families, engage in mainstream activities and shop at the same stores as everyone else. Continue reading
On escorting and addictions
Society's overall perceptions of escorts include the image of a drug-addled, runaway who performs sex acts for money. People seem to think they lack values and morals and have low personal opinions of themselves.
Far and wide, rscorts are intelligent, beautiful, entrepreneurs who rely on their skills and talents to provide companionship for those who seek it in exchange for generous compensation. However, just like all other slices of the world population, many ARE plagued by addictions and problems that are exacerbated by their careers. Continue reading

Clients often fail to realize that their hesitation or quirky behavior throw red flags up to escorts who are always on the look-out for telltale behavior that a client could be a bad risk.

Take back Hope County
Lead the resistance against a dangerous cult in Far Cry 5, Ubisoft's huge new open-world shooter
When the Project at Eden's Gate – a band of doomsday cultists determined to save souls, willingly or not – accelerates its stronghold of Hope County, Montana, the trapped locals have two choices: accept salvation or give them hell.
Rise up alongside the local townsfolk and drive out both the marauding cultists and their charismatic leaders; Joseph Seed and his three siblings, 'the Heralds'. Enlist the help of ordinary folk, take up arms alongside them and fight back against the oppressive cult to restore their freedom.
1 Players
2 Network Players
Changing the game
Ubisoft Montreal is pushing the boundaries of its signature series and redefining some of the core elements that underpin it: from exploration and story progression to multiplayer and co-op.
Throughout Hope County, rebellious factions are waiting to join you in a push-back against the cultists. Rescue them, recruit them to the resistance effort and fight back together. Allies come in all forms: enlist friends to join your game in co-op play or team up with faithful animal companions like Boomer the dog and Cheeseburger the brown bear, who'll aid in their own ways.
There's no one way to liberate the people of Hope County. After securing your base of operations on Dutch's Island, it's up to you to find your own path. Discover local points of interest by exploring, talking to locals, following up on leads or helping out those in need.
The adventure will unfold organically, whether you're raiding a patrol station or stopping for a spot of fishing - everything you do builds your experience and drives The Resistance.
Set foot into a war that's been 15 years in the making. Led by self-annointed prophet Joseph Ceed, the fanatics of the Project at Eden's Gate ('Peggies', as the locals call them) have been amassing weaponry, supplies and members as they prepare to wage a hostile takeover.
As a newly-recruited police deputy, it'll be up to you to lead locals in the fight against the cultists and their ringleaders. How and when you strike, who you choose to liberate and who you leave behind will shape events around you.
When you're trying to take down an insidious cult that has gripped a small town in its violent clutches, it's nice to have a friend along for the ride. Far Cry 5's entire campaign has been designed to support co-op play. Cruise the countryside in a pickup, have wicked aerial dogfights or lead on-foot assaults on key locations - whatever you do, you can take a friend.
Team up with a friend and tackle the cultists of the Project at Eden's Gate together: in cars, tractors, planes or even on foot.
Create and share your own missions and levels with Far Cry Arcade, the latest evolution of Far Cry's map editor that delivers an endless amount of free gameplay.
Mix up your own wild designs with familiar assets from previous Far Cry games as well as other Ubisoft titles, including Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed Unity and Watch_Dogs that can be used to make solo, co-op and PvP multiplayer experiences.

Smart and Comfortable15th June 2018
- I bought these to wear to work. They look so smart on with the front design and block gold heel. I wore them all day at work (I do a lot of walking and standing) and they were so comfortable. Love them. I hope that Van Dal will do more colours in this style and in leather rather than suede.

I now attend yoga at two places: a gym (with several locations) and Yoga Inc. The yoga comics I draw may take place in either location. You may find me sometimes at Yoga Inc.'s Basic Yoga class, Hot Hatha, Hot Classic or Yoga Core ;)

Both RESET# and WP# pins have an internal pull up resistor and can be left unconnected, if not used.
Are the SPI signals shared between the two flash devices (S70FL01GS and S25FS512S)? Could you please attach the schematic diagram of your application? Where did you probe to collect the attached scope shot? Is it on the pins of S25FS512S flash device?
Thanks and Regards,
2. Re: S25FS512S spi not replyingIoKa_4295801 Jun 10, 2019 7:53 AM (in response to SudheeshK_26)
Hello, and thank you for the reply.
I attach you the schematic of the board where the S25FS512S are on.
the MOSI and the SCLK are shared except of the level shifters in between.
The bottom signal on the scope is probed on the S25FS512S MISO which is
left open for the probing.
the three middle are also probed on the pins of the S25FS512S
The Top signal on the scope is probed on the S70FL01GS MISO, directly on
the pin.

I checked the schematic diagram that you attached. There are 6 S25FS512S flash devices present on your board. Are you facing this issue with all of them? Also, I did not see any S70FL01GS devices connected in the schematic diagram. Could you please clarify, how you probed both the devices at the same time?
Thanks and Regards,

yes, i face the same issue on all devices.
The whole system is comprised of many boards,. i attach you now also the
board of the level shifters and the board of the S70FL01GS that also
contains an MCU. They are connected through the connectors.
I notice that the MISO on the S70FL01GS starts from 1. Do i have to weak
pull up the MISO?

You mentioned earlier that RESET# and WP# are stuck at 0. This should not be the case otherwise this would mean that the part is in continuous reset mode. Please double check!
Please also check your power supply and that you comply with the Power On reset specification from the datasheet, e.g: CS# should ramp up with VCC, VCC should not have power drops...
It looks like the S25FS512S units are not responding at all. Please check that their corresponding CS# signals are being driven properly and one device is selected at a time, because otherwise you get into bus contention.
Best regards,


text: I can't say that this isn't a smart release from Wertz, because when you've been independent for so long the logical thing to do is to gather up all of your best material, throw that together with a few new tracks and put it on a disc with a new name- that's how a lot of musicians/bands have done it historically and it's a smart method so it probably won't ever change. That being said it does make the avid fans feel a little short-changed because they have most of the material already. To be fair though, Matt just released an album in 2007- so to get four new songs and some reworked tracks in 2008 is still pretty cool. "Under Summer Sun" has it's strengths, most notably the old songs that Wertz chose to have on this album. Most of his best songs are on here, missing a couple but the critical tracks are here- "Marianne", "Red Meets Blue", "The Way I Feel", "Everything's Right", and "Carolina." Some of these have been redone for this album but they're all good tracks and they're all what got Wertz here. I have a feeling that if he had left out any of those five tracks Wertz's fans would have been disappointed with this release, but he didn't so it's good. As for the new material- there are four new songs on here "Back in June", "Summer Sun", "Waiting", and "Keep Faith." All four of those songs are pretty good- the best song overall out of those four is "Keep Faith", it has a chance to become one of the top 5 Wertz songs. As for the other three- I know that the album is named after "Summer Sun" and incorporated into the theme here is "Back in June", but honestly I don't hear either of these songs being Wertz's best work. They're actually both just kind of filler tracks at the end of the album. "Waiting" is the other new song on this album and although it's not the best song on this album it's the best written song on here. It showcases that vulnerability in Matt's voice that a lot of people relate to and more than that the lyrics push that vulnerability even more. This isn't a critical own for long-time fans, but the new tracks are probably worth individual purchases. As for new fans… if you've never spent a lot of time with Matt's stuff, now is the time- he'll become one of your favorite songwriters. He's damn good.

The Remarkables are called that for a reason – arguably one of the most beautiful views in New Zealand, the towering mountain range rises some 2000 metres sharply off the south eastern shore of lake Wakatipu, creating a stunning backdrop to the towns that sit at their feet. Queenstown is wedged at their base, and offers spectacular views of the one reason most people visit – the ski fields.
The Remarkables are famous for their three wide mountain bowls and some 220 hectares of skiable snow. The standard season is from June 18 to October 16, a time when Queenstown is at its busiest – it is hard to walk down the main street without being bombarded by tourists donning snow gear or hiring skis. But they come because the Remarkables have a reputation for having some of the best powder in New Zealand. The annual snowfall is nearly 3.7 metres, and it's typically soft, cold and dry – perfect for cutting with a snowboard or skis.
Shuttles run from throughout the day from Queenstown to the ski resort, some 1500 metres up the mountain. From there, six lifts take 6,300 skiers per hour up to the top of the run. The terrain is quite versatile, with an almost even split of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes, making it ideal for beginners as well as those who crave something a little more daring. The Remarkables is home to award winning learning facilities, ideal for green skiers and young kids, however if you're a vetran of the slopes you'll be challenged by the narrow chutes and rocky drops on offer on the advanced runs.
The ski resort also offers a magnificent café, a retail shop and equipment hire, as well as regular life music on deck creating an easy, laid-back atmosphere. The Remarkables is all about fun, and the love of the great outdoors and a big mountain environment – wether you're a avid skier, fresh onto the slopes or just wanting to relax with a hot chocolate and a stunning mountain view, this is the place for you.

Winsted Board of Selectmen discuss budget goals during brief meeting
WINSTED >> There is still no mayor in Winchester, but don't tell Marsha Sterling that. With second selectman Candy Perez noticeably absent, the board's newest member ran Wednesday's short budget meeting and outlined the board's plans to end up with a good, tight 2014-15 budget.
The appointment of a new mayor is on the agenda for Thursday night's special meeting at Town Hall at 7 p.m. Several sources have pointed at Sterling, a selectman candidate in 2011, to fill that seat. Along with Glen Albanesius, Sterling was appointed to the Board of Selectmen Monday, replacing Lisa Smith and Robert Vogt, who each unexpectedly resigned from the board.
Their first meeting as members of the board was a brief one, clocking in at just under 15 minutes. The board addressed the untimely death of resident Thomas Bowles with a moment of silence. Bowles was a lifelong resident of Winsted, U.S. Army veteran and former selectman candidate.
"We send our collective condolences to his family," Albanesius said.
The board then moved on to the budget, which Sterling said will focus on funding town operations, keeping school operations running and adding to the fund balance without increasing taxes too much.
"Any and all increases in taxes will be strictly capital needs and capital expenditures," Sterling said. The roads especially will be a priority, she said, as is getting the Holabird Avenue Bridge "open correctly and soon."
The board plans to remove all of the capital items from the budget and place them in a parallel capital budget, making the budget easier to understand for the common citizen.
"Our goal and objective is to create something that is understandable and clear," Sterling said.
Albanesius stressed that the library and senior center will both receive their promised allocations, with the library receiving over $200,000 and the senior center receiving the recommended $183,000 budgeted.
"I think the library is a valuable, important part of this community," he said.
Though both the new members served on the board Wednesday night, their appointments may soon be challenged. The Democratic Town Committee launched a petition on Tuesday, looking for about 350 registered voters—or 5 percent of the total in town—to sign and challenge the appointments of both Sterling and Albanesius. A special election, were it to be held, would cost the town roughly $5,000, Town Manager Dale Martin said, citing the town registrars.
Martin presented a $33 million budget in March, with $19.9 million on the education side and $13.7 million on the town side. Selectmen tentatively cut $526,976 from the town-side budget last week, but have yet to vote on these changes and make them official.
The annual budget meeting is scheduled for May 5, with the town referendum to follow at a yet to be announced date.

Online Dating Etiquette
Last updated: 2005-04-06
Dating advice: powered by JDate.com
Find your ideal Jewish date at JewishSingles.co.uk
These days, people are logging on to the Web for everything from banking and business to shopping and love, and with this surge in online activity, we've seen a whole new code of manners emerge.
Social etiquette has been particularly important at online matchmaking sites, where more and more people are going every day to look for love. Just like in any social circle the world over, this cyber-dating scene has found it necessary to develop it's own rules for making interactions smooth, civilized and friendly. So, if you're looking for a date, soul mate or friend, your best bet is to put your matchmaking site to good use and listen up to what Miss Manners has to say to avoid any cyber-faux-pas.
Cyber-Dating Etiquette
DO stick with a reputable dating site where you can feel comfortable and safe--one that keeps your email confidential and doesn't allow profanity--this way you'll feel free to be yourself when interacting with other members.
DO be honest in your profile, and post up-to-date photos. Sometimes being yourself can be scary, but the right person will like you just as you are. Besides, if you really want to get to know someone, you're going to meet in person and the truth will come out anyway.
DO set up an email account just for cyber-dating and use a Username that reflects your personality (without being way over the top).
DON'T send the same email to everyone. Personalize your messages by responding to things mentioned in emails and profiles. (No one wants junk mail--it's a waste of time.)
DO reply to everyone who contacts you (you get a 1 week leeway). If you're not interested, a simple "Thank you, but I'm unable to correspond with you at this time." will do.
DON'T write people off right away. It takes at least a few emails to get a sense of someone.
DO be polite. Remember, there IS a person sitting on the other end of the wires.
DO use humor, especially if it's a part of your offline personality, but be careful with it. Humor doesn't always translate over the wires, and it's difficult to gage how the recipient is responding. To set the tone, add an emoticon or two, like a :) or a ;-).
DON'T say anything in an email that you wouldn't say to someone's face.
DON'T lie. Enough said.
DO start each email with a greeting (Dear, Hi, Greetings, Wassup?) and end with a closing (Sincerely, Regards, Cheers, Til soon) and your name.
DON'T use profanity or tell off-color jokes.
DO have reasonable expectations and take it in stride if a relationship doesn't work out. DON'T take things too personally-some people have no manners ;-) .
DON'T email someone's ear off. In other words, don't "talk" too much and don't tell your whole life story right away. Leave something for when you get together.
DO ask questions to create an open-ended conversation.
DO respect the other person's privacy. DON'T ask for personal contact information or answers to extremely personal questions right away.
DON'T push anyone. If they say they don't want to communicate with you, need more time before opening up, or are not ready to meet in person, they're not playing hard to get. Get it?
DON'T hesitate to ask someone out once you get the feeling that you're both into it--use your intuition, just like you would offline. This applies to guys and gals alike. Traditional or non-traditional offline? Be true to yourself in the cyber-world--it's real too.
If you're interested, DO go out with someone you meet online, but start with a short date in a public place. That way, if your feelings differ offline, you have an easy out.
DO send a follow-up email after an offline date, whether it's to say thanks, but no thanks, or to reaffirm how much fun you had.
DON'T string anyone along just because you don't know how to say "no" or like the ego boost.
DO play the field. Just as long as you're being honest and having fun, it's okay to keep contacting as many people as you like until you find someone you're interested in. After all, meeting new people is what dating is all about.

We will be announcing our first models at 11.00 (BST) on Saturday 7th September 2013, please return to the site then and use the tabs at the top of the screen to see our exciting announcements and the latest progress.
Starting from a blank canvas and using the best design, and modelling techniques currently in use for ready to run model locomotives, I intend to produce a raft of models over the next few years with my desire for innovation, and forward thinking put into each and every model I make.
For example, all models will have 100% spares available at launch for each model, and these will be readily viewable through a break down schematic for each part (which will be numbered) on a comprehensive instruction sheet included with each model and online.
Each model will feature on the 'timeline' page which will show you when every process from start to shipping has taken place, and even give you the ship name so those that are able can track its progress from China to the UK on their computer. This way we will be very open about delivery dates and not give 'hopeful' ideas to dates to keep you dangling.
Where possible, all locomotives will now have a close coupling mechanism as standard in both N and OO gauges.
In co-operation with my distributor, each model locomotive will be personally hand checked by me for running ability, wobble, back to backs, lighting etc., before being sent out to the customer, so that when you receive your DJM locomotive you can be as sure as can be that it is in good health straight out of the box.
Electrical PCB boards will be designed by ourselves knowing the electronic signatures of the coreless motors we will use with every model so that components for the PCB boards can be purchased and fitted to match perfectly.
We have also agreed with that fantastic weathering company, Mercig Studios, that from now on they will only produce weathered masters exclusively for DJM, while also producing his masterpieces for his existing and new individual customers.
Special commissions can also be considered as we have plentiful factory capacity, and hold ups/delays should be a thing of the past.
Production for all the models you see here will not take place overnight, but rest assured , as you can see by the finished and almost finished cad/cam designs within, I am deadly serious about my work.
Please take a look at the rest of the web site and feel free to comment where you think it can be improved etc. Also if you have any suggestions I would be only to glad to hear them, although work load might preclude a quick response to them.
Thank You
Dave Jones

Whether you want to put your property on sale or stay on it for a longer time, your home requires an endless amount of maintenance. Regular home maintenance is a must for you to keep the beauty of your property and make it functional. Not only that, but it will also save you a lot of money along the way.
It's because fixing minor problems in your property now will help you avoid larger problems in the future. For you to further encourage yourself in doing regular maintenance of your home, you should take time and read this article.
Raises Up the Value of Your Property
Your home is one of the most significant investments of your life. As such, you should make sure that you do some work and maintenance to make it aesthetically appealing and functional. One of the benefits of regular maintenance of your property is that it increases its market value.
Nowadays, home buyers will look for a property that won't require significant home improvements after the purchase. So, the more you do regular upkeep of your property, the higher the chances that homebuyers will take an interest in it.
Not taking care of your home, on the other hand, will cause your home to lose its appeal as well as its value. Thus, it's advisable that if your home has minor problems, you should see to it that repair it right away.
Lessens Energy Consumption
Your home is a place of comfort. Just imagine how it works hard just to keep your comfort at all time all year round, and think how much energy it consumes for that purpose. Even though you always turn off the light when not in use and maintain your air-con at a moderate level, you can still lose some energy, especially if you don't mind the upkeep of your home.
Cracks in the walls and gaps through the windows will cause your HVAC system, for instance, to work hard and consume a significant amount of energy. That's why you need home maintenance to avoid this kind of problem. It's also crucial that you check and update your home appliances for you to save energy.
Keeps the Safety of Your Home
Failing to do an upkeep of your home can pose harm and danger to you and the people living in your home, especially to children. In fact, there are various ways poor home maintenance can put you at risk.
Take, for instance, faulty electrical wirings that may cause a fire that often results in injuries and deaths. As simple as water leakage can also result in the proliferation of mold in your household, placing the health of house members in danger.
Another risk is from broken ventilation systems that can create changes in indoor temperature that may be fatal to elderly and infant living in the house. Thus, maintain your house to keep the safety of your home. You can check sites like pyramiscompany.com for the property management and regular maintenance of your property.
Excellent Money-Savings
With regular upkeep of your property, you can prevent the problems and risks mentioned above, and you can also save a lot of money in the process. For instance, you will no more spend a considerable amount of money for bigger property issues because you already address them by doing preventative maintenance for your home.
Minimizes Your Headaches
As mentioned earlier, doing regular upkeep of your home will help you prevent dealing with bigger problems along the way. As such, it will also minimize your stress. With all the benefits mentioned above, how would you think the other way, right?
Regular home maintenance can provide a lot of perks to you as a homeowner. For instance, proper upkeep of your home can increase its property value. It can also lessen your energy consumption, keep the safety of your home, provide you with excellent money-savings, and reduce stress.

East End homeless charity is taking action to improve the lives of those in need on World Homeless Day
Press Releases
East End homeless charity is taking action to improve the lives of those in need on World Homeless Day
In London alone, the homeless population increased by an astonishing 62% percent in just two years, with 6,500 rough sleepers counted in the capital ‐ and this does not even account for the thousands of 'hidden homeless' ‐ those sleeping on sofas of friends and families or living in B&Bs and other temporary accommodation.
With homelessness on the rise, the issue remains an epidemic that requires society to stand together and make a difference. To help shed light on the sheer number of people living without a home, while also bringing down these figures even further, Anchor House – a homeless charity based in East London ‐ is taking action to improve the lives of those in need on World Homeless Day.
Anchor House is gathering together influential people from private and public sector organisations, as well as local government and health agencies at the House of Commons. This aims to draw attention to homeless people's needs and provide opportunities for society to respond to homelessness, which is the core purpose of World Homeless Day.
The event, sponsored by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, will see speakers including event host Baroness Maddock, Lord Gus O'Donnell and Dominic Raab MP, the Bishop of Brentwood and Vicar General Monsignor John Armitage encourage open discussion around the issues of homelessness and what can be done. The reception will provide an opportunity to meet front line staff and residents from Anchor House who have experienced homelessness first hand.
Keith Fernett, Anchor House Director, says there are many factors that can lead to someone becoming homeless and no two stories are ever the same.
"On this World Homeless Day we aim to shine a light on those who are so often overlooked.
"Every year, Anchor House is home to up to 220 people who have lost their homes, and we see the people behind the statistics.
"The charity sector is currently facing severe challenges, but in spite of this, we have persevered and Anchor House is determined to survive because we know that we're making a difference to people's lives."
For more information or to make a contribution to turn a life around please visit www.anchorhouseuk.org or call 0207 476 6062.
Interviews and photos are available by contacting Jazmine Sandison, Marketing and Communications Lead on email@example.com or 020 7476 6062.
Anchor House is a residential and lifeskills centre for single homeless people aged 19 to 65. Based in the Newham, the third most deprived borough in England, we support over 200 people each year, giving them so much more than just a roof over their heads.
Our aim is to address the root causes of homelessness – such as poor education, substance misuse, mental health problems, domestic violence or a history of offending – and create sustainable solutions that ensure the people we help will never find themselves in that situation again. In practical terms, this means not only giving our residents the skills and confidence they need to rebuild their lives and move on to independent living, but also serving the community as a whole.
During 2012:
- we recorded over 2,500 visits from community members accessing our services each quarter
- we supported 50 formerly homeless people back into employment
- we helped 67 people move into independent living
- our residents completed 2103 volunteering sessions
- our occupancy rate was 94.6%
Registered charity number 253669
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP is a global law firm with a long‐standing track record of successfully supporting the world's leading national and multinational corporations, financial institutions and governments on ground‐breaking and business‐critical mandates. Our 2,500 plus lawyers deliver results worldwide through our own offices and alongside leading local firms.
When we talk about Corporate Responsibility (CR) at Freshfields we use the phrase as an umbrella term to describe the work we do, beyond simply complying with our legal obligations, to: minimise our negative impacts on the environment; create a positive impact on the communities in which we operate; use our professional skills for the greater good (ie pro bono); and to be an excellent employer, promoting diversity and inclusion. Our approach to CR is guided by our values of integrity, excellence, understanding of our clients and our communities, teamwork and imagination. Our vision, which is integral to our business strategy, is to become the leading international law firm in this field.
Our community investment (CI) programme focuses on helping those who are socially excluded to make a full and positive contribution to society. We decided to target homelessness in 2000 because it was something that many of the people who work in our London and other offices saw on a daily basis on their way to and from work, and we recognised we could make a positive contribution to tackling.. It is something our people feel passionately about and we believe that by using their talents and skills, through volunteering, we can make a real difference. In London our work aims to equip homeless people with the skills to gain and sustain employment, achieve independent living and break the cycle of homeless by providing work experience, job coaching, informal support and pro bono legal advice.

Sexting – The Risk to Our Kids and What We Can Do
implicit) sexual text message, video or picture electronically, but primarily using wireless devices (e.g., cellphones, smartphones, tablets, etc.). As MTV's A Thin Line campaign explains, sexting may not be a "big deal" for some people, but for others, it can have real consequences when someone feels pressured into sending a sext (or sexts) that goes viral.
According to a survey from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 4 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds who own mobile devices admit to sending sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos of themselves to someone else via text message. Yet 15 percent of these teens say they have received such images of someone they know. In other words, even though a small percentage of teens admit to sending a sext, these images are usually shared with others and not only the intended recipient.
For parents, talking to kids about what to do if they send or receive a sext should help to address the issue BEFORE it has the potential to become an emotional or legal problem. In addition, kids should know that some jurisdictions have made it illegal for an adult to possess or transmit a sexual image of anyone under the age of 18, regardless of if it was consensual. The consequences of sexting can be real and long-term. Parents need to talk with their kids about sexting and use parental management tools. By proactively addressing this matter, parents and kids can prevent any potential problems.
To help parents talk to their kids about sexting and responsible wireless use, CTIA and its members offer a number of management tools and tips. By using them, parents can manage or monitor their kids' wireless usage, including placing limits or restricting camera features and text and picture messages.
Case Studies
- Learn from others' experiences, including how the situations were handled and how sexting affected others
- Even though only 4% of teens have admitted to sending a sext, 15% have said they've seen such a message of someone they know. This shows the sender loses control of the message or image since sexts can be (and usually are) shared with others.

Dear friends,
I mentioned to you we recently completed a re-do of three bathrooms at our house. Truth is, only two are actually finished: 1) the powder room, which you saw in this post, and 2) the kids' bathroom, which I'll show you today. The master bath is still a work in progress, stalled because I have been unable to make a decision about cabinet hardware. And of the five new light fixtures I needed for that room, only four were in stock. So — just a heads up that "bathroom re-do tres" may not show up for a while. (I have no idea why I have suddenly adopted a Spanish counting theme since I studied French in college, but I'm rolling with it.)
And, I regret to say a technical difficulty (darn computers!) has prevented me from retrieving my "before" photo of this bathroom. But you know what? You've got the gist of it already. You saw my kitchen before.
Blue Formica, white walls, golden oak cabinets.
And you saw my powder room before.
Blue Formica, white walls, golden oak cabinets.
The kids' bathroom was a whole lot of the same.
But unlike the kitchen and master bath where I sprung for new marble counter tops, and unlike the powder room where I painted the counter tops, I decided to live with the Formica in the kids' bathroom. It was a darker shade of blue that I didn't find quite so hideous. And I figured the problem was not really the counter tops. It was the contrast of the counter tops against the plain white walls, made uglier by a cabinet finish that is two decades out of date.
I had a hunch that if I painted the cabinets and wallpapered the bath with a print that took the emphasis off the counter tops, the expanse of less-than-lovely Formica would "recede" and the counter tops would go from shocking to subtle. (Or at least more subtle.) And I was right. Take a look.
See how much painting the cabinets black and giving your eyes something interesting to look at on the walls make a difference? (By the way, that's a new light fixture above the mirror. I can't stress enough how cheap or outdated light fixtures drag a room down instantly.)
You may argue that my wallpaper is awfully busy — and I won't disagree with you. But I'm okay with busy in small spaces. Especially small spaces like bathrooms and pantries where the door is often shut. And I chose this wallpaper because it has the exact shade of blue in the counter tops as an accent color in the sea shells — well, that and the fact that red is one of my favorite colors and I'm digging on coral lately. (I'm considering a white "coral" chandelier for my dining room as I type.)
With no before photo, I can't show you how ugly the previously installed, fake-brass shower doors were. I took them down immediately and replaced them with a neutral — and very updated — linen colored shower curtain.
You can't really tell from this photo, but the custom Roman shade is the exact color of the shower curtain. It looks lovely in real life. Next time you need a custom Roman shade, shop JC Penney online first. Their fabric selections are limited, but their prices can't be beat on custom orders. I got this one for anywhere from 30% to 75% cheaper than the other online retailers I sourced. By the way, the previous owner of this home spent a fortune on custom Hunter Douglas shades for every window in this house EXCEPT this bathroom. What's up with that? Maybe she ran out money, given I priced Hunter Douglas replacements and determined she spent $2,500 on a single window in the dining room. I guess I'm kind of glad she skipped this room because the blind likely would have been blue and I likely would have despised it, too.
I had fun shopping for "art" to spruce up this room. I found this linen framed coral illustration on deep discount at Pottery Barn.
And I found these inexpensive beach-themed canvasses at Home Goods.
I still despise the cheap, white vinyl flooring in all my bathrooms. But that's not a problem I have the money to fix right away. And since I have lovely oak floors through most of the house, bad flooring is a lot more tolerable in small doses.
I feel compelled to note I'm not one of those women who normally like "themed" rooms, such as seashore baths and rustic cabin dens. This room ended up this way because I was trying to solve a counter top problem on a shoestring budget — and the wallpaper that met all my color and design needs just happened to be beachy. Since it's the bathroom my kids use, I was a lot more flexible with my approach, and that flexibility saved me a ton of money. And, I think I ended up with a bath that is reasonably fresh and attractive, despite the overt theme.
By the way, if you are ever unfortunate enough to buy a home with unframed mirrors stuck to the walls, do not attempt to remove them. I speak from experience when I tell you that you'll create enormous headaches (in damaged sheetrock) and spend more money trying to remove and replace them. Simply hire a carpenter to frame them, then paint or stain the frames. I spent $300 to pay a carpenter to frame five bathroom mirrors in this house, and it's the best $300 I've spent to date. (Compare this to the $250 I paid a frame shop to frame and hang a single mirror in a bathroom renovation in our last home.)
So that's the extent of my inexpensive bathroom reno tips. Paint, wallpaper, new light fixtures and hardware — and a few decorative touches will get you a long ways. In our former home, we took a bathroom down to the studs for a total renovation. Needless to say, I was incredibly pleased with the result and it remains the best bathroom I will have ever been fortunate enough to live with. But it cost 30 times what I spent on this one. (Yes. 30 times, which equals a big diff.)
And sometimes, less is more.
With gratitude {for a new home that came with "good bones" despite its ugly cosmetics},
Joan, who is pretty convinced she would rock on one of those home renovation shows where the budgets are extremely modest

It is with profound shock and sadness that I send this note to you. Earlier today we received notice from the Canadian Military that Calgary Herald journalist Michelle Lang was killed while on assignment for Canwest News Service in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This tragic event involved several casualties both military and civilian and the full details are still to be released.
This is an unbelievable loss to her fiancé Michael, her family and the countless colleagues and friends at The Calgary Herald, Canwest News Service and across our organization. Michelle was honoured recently with a National Newspaper Award in recognition of her coverage of the Alberta health care system. In all that she did, Michelle exemplified the skills and dedication that have made Canwest a leader in news. She will be deeply missed not only by those who knew her well but also the countless readers who relied on her excellent reporting in the pages of our newspapers.
Michelle took this assignment voluntarily, as do all of our war zone journalists and was two weeks into a six week assignment. Michelle had been filing stories of Christmas with the troops, she had interviewed military leaders about the progress our military had made and written a story about the diverse population of civilians serving in support functions in Afghanistan.
Our thoughts and prayers along with our support have been extended to Michelle's family.
More information with respect to plans and tributes will be available on the Calgary Herald website as it becomes available.
Dennis Skulsky, President and CEO of Canwest Publishing

In the world of Kindles and Nooks, Sprint is about to make its mark with a new kind of e-reader called Skiff. With an 11.5 inch display, Skiff will be the largest e-reader so far and would offer a 1200 x 1600 display resolution. This high-resolution will make it easier for people to read books, magazines and newspapers.
Here are some other technical specs for the Skiff:
- 4 GB of internal memory.
- Dimensions: 9 x 11 x 0.2 inches
- SD Card slot and USB port.
- One week of average battery life.
- Built-in speaker and a 3.5mm audio jack.
- Runs on Sprint 3G network and Wi-Fi.
- Full touchscreen.
Skiff will be the first e-reader geared towards newspapers rather than focusing only on books and magazines. Due to smaller screens and extra thickness, Kindle and Nook simply don't cut it for reading newspapers. Skiff is also expected to be more durable with a metal foil display and the thinnest device with 0.26 inches of thickness. With 174 pixels per inch (ppi), it will provide the highest reading quality amongst all the e-readers.
No details have been provided yet about the price of the device or the downloadable content. The device would most probably be revealed at the CES show in Vegas later this week. A 360 view of the Skiff is available here.

Me and Charlie RoseLast updated: 11/25/2011
(I seldom stay up late enough to watch Charlie Rose on PBS, but when I do I am always reminded of how much I've been missing. Charlie is an excellent interviewer, I think because he has a genuine interest in his guests and in ideas and events. He is definitely and definitively connected. Add in that dulcet North Carolina accent and you have a real treat. His guests the other night were Tom Brokaw and Calvin Trillin—Charlie doesn't traffic in the usual Tinsel Town fluff—both pushing their latest books. No surprise that I slipped into the following reverie.)
Moxie IILast updated: 11/25/2011
(Yes, this is Moxie, Part Two, in which your intrepid wonker faces his fate!)
At this point, nostalgia turns mean. My Moxie reminiscing had followed a docile pattern, predicated on the sure assumption that the Moxie enterprise had gone belly-up in the late '40's, that this elixir of the Puritans had gone to join the shadows. But ten minutes' research revealed that the Moxie makers were alive, well, and now based outside of Atlanta, Georgia, the soft drink capital of this country. I did not rejoice.
MoxieLast updated: 11/25/2011
(I hope you will indulge me once again, my friends. This essay was written over twenty years ago, but I hope it has stood the test of time. Also, it is long enough that I have chosen to break it in two. Here's the first part.)
One morning a few months ago I caught myself saying, to no one in particular and about whom I can't recall, "You know, that took a lot of moxie." The expression surprised and delighted me. Moreover, it set me on a digging that tunneled its way to the roots of nostalgia.
Giants in the EarthLast updated: 11/25/2011
While I was writing about the Neanderthals, something else kept flitting through my mind: that mysterious and startling line in Genesis 6:4. "There were giants in the earth in those days."
What's up with that? Well, just a few hours' research shows the Neanderthal story to be simple and straightforward compared to this particular tangled web.
Let me back up. Here (KJV) are verses 1 through 4:
Neanderthals in NooksLast updated: 11/25/2011
Neanderthals may have been—or perhaps are—the hardiest critters to have ever come down the pike. They live on in books, in movies, and in our imaginings, tens of thousands of years after they presumably checked out. But more to the point of this wonk, they seem to keep popping up in the (hairy) flesh! The two most famous examples are Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch) in our Pacific Northwest and the Yeti or Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas. And these are only two examples.
Neanderthals in BooksLast updated: 11/25/2011
So Neanderthals fascinate us, for reasons both silly and serious. We have had our share of schlocky, forgettable movies, often with hunky "cave men" and their scantily clad, big breasted mates battling not only wooly mammoths but dinosaurs (yeah, right!). There have been many depictions of Neanderthals or putative Neanderthals in books, too. Three come to mind, one that is mainstream entertainment and two that are more serious and—as far as possible—realistic depictions.
The Neanderthals Next DoorLast updated: 11/25/2011
An excellent article on Neanderthals in the current issue of The New Yorker (August 15 and 22) got me thinking about this creature from the dawn of our history. That's easy to do. I don't know anyone who can resist imagining these very early humans—for humans they now appear to have been—and speculating on what they were like, what became of them, and—on the fringes—whether they still survive somewhere.
Once More to the Lake. And the River. And the Oceans.Last updated: 11/25/2011
Time to give summer a nudge. Or maybe, since it's close to triple digits most afternoons, a shove. Fall won't be here until late September, but I'm already ready for it. I'm also ready for the routine of fall. Twenty students have signed up for my classical tropes course, and this old hambone can't wait to get back behind the lectern.
Do You Feel a Draft?Last updated: 11/25/2011
In a typically brilliant Gary Larson cartoon, we find a deer behind a tree, hiding from a hunter in the near distance. Panicked, the deer is saying to himself, "He is definitely shooting at me! I've gotta think: do I know this guy?" We laugh because we seldom see it that way—a hunter has no personal grudge or vendetta against a deer that he kills. But in fact random killing is a fact of life—or rather, death—and nowhere more so than in war.
The Wages of SinLast updated: 11/25/2011
This was supposed to be a lark, an easy summer wonk. Perhaps an account of my week in Louisville reading the Advance Placement essays, and then of our road trip to SoCal to visit son Dan and some old Albuquerque friends who recently moved to San Diego.
And then the fecal matter collided with the oscillating device.

Palmeiras and Flamengo interested in defender Dedé
Brazilian defender Dedé, who was the idol of Flamengo's rivals Vasco, has a contract with Cruzeiro only until April of next year and may sign a pre-contract with any interested party.
According to the information from Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo and Palmeiras are trying to convince the representatives of the defender to leave Cruzeiro, but Dedé resists, with the justification that he had the full support of his club for the last two years, when he has been recovering from surgery. About the permanence of Fernandinho, which seemed simple, has became complicated. It's Grêmio coach Renato Gaúcho who wants to count on the striker for next season. Fernandinho is on loan from Grêmio until December. What should be confirmed in the coming days is the stay of Réver. The defender, who belongs to Internacional, is out of the plans of the Porto Alegre side because of his high salary. While planning a series of arrivals, Flamengo already have some departures set for the end of the year. Defender Juan, one of the greatest idols of the fans, and striker Emerson Sheik will not have their contracts renewed at the end of the season. The same goes for left-back Chiquinho, who may be heading to Japanese football.
