Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug
Ok, I just love this book. Quick read, easy to understand, and makes a whole lot of sense. I make every designer who works here read it and I lend it out to our project managers as well. Krug makes such a clear case for clean, intuitive, efficient information design, you'll immediately start seeing ways to improve site flow and the overall user experience on your site and others'. If you don't have a lot to spend on usability tests but want to know if your site is working fundamentally, this book can help. It can also guide your redesign efforts. And if you're hiring a designer to build your site, I'd ask if they've read this book.
One of the strongest themes, and one of my favorite lessons from Don't Make Me Think, is summed up by the chapter title, "Omit needless words." So with that...

An automobile of any size is simply no match for a massive 100,000 pound 18-wheel tractor trailer rolling along at full speed. Downey Semi Truck accidents are usually cause for major serious injuries, sometimes even death. Virtually every collision with one of these behemoths is a major incident. In the aftermath of any Downey Semi Truck accident, it takes a practiced eye to sort out what actually happened. Downey law firm of Moss Hovden has the extensive resources to rapidly respond, and the experience to investigate and fully uncover the truth. If a family member was injured or killed in a tractor trailer crash, we urge you to contact us immediately. The sooner we can get to the scene, the better our chances of recovering your full compensation for the devastation. We handle trucking accidents throughout Southern California.
Time is money in the trucking industry. To make more deliveries and cover more miles, some truck drivers push the limits. They speed and ignore federally mandated rest periods between shipments. This was the case when the driver of an 18-wheeler fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into another vehicle, causing fatal injuries to a 42-year-old husband and father. In the lawsuit for wrongful death, Moss Hovden proved that the trucker had pushed to stay awake for 30 hours, and that he routinely lied when entering time in his logbooks. We also determined that his employer encouraged the practice, something common across the trucking industry. We obtained an eight-figure award for the injured victim.
See our notable verdicts and settlements for truck accidents.
Commercial vehicles are insured for the catastrophic injuries common in trucking accidents, but the insurance companies are VERY aggressive in deflecting responsibility.
Moss Hovden uses highly professional accident re-constructionists who literally crawl over every inch of the wreckage and site to inspect for any and every clue and then determine exactly what happened in the crash. We have professional investigators at the ready to quickly interview witnesses, preserve vital evidence and obtain company records. This all helps to establish the negligence or other causes of the truck accident, including:
- Aggressive driving (speeding, tailgating, changing lanes)
- Driver fatigue, inattention or substance abuse
- Mechanical/maintenance issues (faulty brakes, bald tires, etc.)
- Unsecured or overweight freight
- Negligent hiring and training
Downey truck accident attorney Del Hovden brings decades of strong experience to your service. Del Hovden is a hands-on attorneys who works closely with the family of the victim to insure that immediate needs are met while he builds a secondary case for damages. We go the extra mile to ensure 18-wheeler accident victims are fully compensated for future medical care, lost future earnings and the personal pain and suffering from lasting disability.
Below are some cases that we have recently handled or are currently handling. These are not typical cases and results should not be expected. However, these examples are provided for our clients to understand more about the specific types of truck accident cases we handle.
- An 18 wheeler on a Southern California freeway changed from the No. 2 to No. 3 lane, pushing the plaintiff off the freeway, down the embankment into a tree. Plaintiff was extricated from the with great difficulty from the automobile, suffering serious injuries. Result: case now pending.
- A Bus made by Crown Coach Company claimed brakes failed, struck rear of plaintiff automobile stopped for a red light. Manufacturer defect in braking mechanism. Result: six figures.
- An 18 wheeler in the right lane at intersection, without right turn blinkers, suddenly engages a right turn causing bicyclist to strike the front of the truck trailer. Serious injuries. Result: six figures.
- A massive 185 vehicle pile up on local freeway in dense morning fog with very limited sight distance. An 18 wheeler traveling at excessive speed for the conditions, changed lanes in front of 75 year old plaintiff and jackknifed, which caused plaintiff to strike the trailer at the rear. Trailer was found by the California Highway Patrol to have defective brakes. Plaintiff sustained serious, debilitating injuries. Result: six figures
Let us help you deal with traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries or other personal injuries after a semi truck crash or other trucking accident in Downey. Call our Downey office at 877-959-6606 for a free consultation. We can make hospital and house calls, or arrange evening and weekend appointments.
There are no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.

Review: anCnoc 12 Year old Single Malt Whisky
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 16, 2012
Inver House Distillers own five Scottish distilleries, Pulteney, Balblair, Knockdhu, Speyburn, and Balmenach. The company produces a diverse portfolio of brands which includes not only Scotch Whisky (Single Malt, Blended Malt, and Blended), but also Vodka, Gin, liqueurs, and premixes. The subject of this review, the anCnoc 12 Year is a Single Malt Whisky produced at the Knockdhu Distillery (which is located under the dark 'Knock Hill', known to the local villagers by its Gaelic name of 'Cnoc Dubh'). Production of anCnoc began at the Distillery in 1894 following the discovery of several springs of clear water on the southern slopes of the aforementioned Knock Hill.
The anCnoc whisky is produced on the distillery's original style copper pot stills and worms (which condense the vapourized alcohol), and it has been produced that way for over 100 years. The resulting whisky is aged in American oak and Spanish oak barrels (which were previously used to age either bourbon or sherry). These casks are stored in dunnage warehouses where the thick granite walls ensure a stable ambient temperature which results in a consistent (or predictable) aging regimen.
I was sent a sample of the anCnoc 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky by Woodman Wine and Spirits, who are the Ontario distributors for the anCnoc brand. The Whisky has recently been released in Ontario, Canada and is available through the Whisky Shop at the LCBO.
Here is an excerpt from the review:
"…There is so much going on that it is hard to start. Smells of sweet lowland grasses, willow thicket, and almost ripe barley are I guess, as good of a place to begin as any other. Wondering in and out of the breezes above the glass are scents of fresh honey, tart green apples, and lemongrass as well…"
Here is a link to my Review:
Review: anCnoc 12 Year old Single Malt Whisky
Please enjoy the review of this remarkable whisky!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

A Scam Email with the Subject "CAN I TRUST YOU?" was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:49:52 -0700 and has been classified as a Generic Scam. The sender was "Ms Jane Graham"<firstname.lastname@example.com>, although it may have been spoofed.
Ms Jane Graham England, United Kingdom I am Ms Jane Graham, I wish to seek for your assistance in a financial transaction, however, is not mandatory nor will I in any manner compel you to honor my request against your will. Your profile pushed me to send you this mail; I'm the daughter of late Dr. and Mrs. Nerd Graham. My father was a highly reputable business man (supplier of agro allied material and general merchandise) he operated in the Middle East during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away in one of his trips to the UK. Although his death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by one of our uncles who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was a little girl, and since then my father took me so special. Before his death in 2008, he told me about a safe he concealed the sum of Twelve Million United State Dollars. ($12,000,000.00 USD) deposited with a large investment & Security Firm in Asia. The safe was disguised & declared as Family Personal Belongings instead of the real content money, by this way the company does not know the true content of the safe as money but family personal belongings. I have in my possession the deposit Receipt which the company gave to my late father on the day he made the deposit with the security firm in Asia. I really don't know what to do than to seek your assistance in claiming these funds on my behalf. I have been through a lot of hard times here in London, hidden for my life. The death of my father has brought sorrows to my life. I am in a sincere desire of your assistance in this regards. Your suggestions and ideas will be highly appreciated. Will you permit me to ask these few questions:- 1. Can you honestly and willingly help me in this transaction? 2. Can I completely trust you? 3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the money gets in your possession? Please, read through and kindly get back to me as soon as possible. My sincere regards, Ms Jane Graham.

by Mojo Ichiruto » Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:32 amSo yes this is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the New 52 line of books! I love the artwork, and I love that Lobdell has pretty much given Superboy a complete reboot from scratch. N.O.W.H.E.R.E. seems like they are going to be a great antagonist for the hero and have far reaching implications throughout the DCnU. This is was fun, learning more about Superboys powers along with him, but what made this issue and the book itself get more amazing was the reveal that "Red" is none other than Caitlain Fairchild from Gen-13!! Also it was revealed that Superboy's dna is a combination of at least 3 different species: Human, Kryptonian, and at least a 3rd alien if I was reading correctly. This book is just all kinds of awesome so far!

by e_galston » Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:13 pmi think the fact that Red was Caitlin is one of the worst kept "mysteries" from the reboot.
by Grayson » Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:19 pm
Agreed. In fact, if I remember correctly, her identity was spoiled before the first issue even came out.
That being said, I am really enjoying this title. Don't get me wrong, I really hate that all of Conner's history and growth have been erased. Until DC brings the original DCU back as a separate line this will be a suitable alternative.
by avengingtitan » Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:20 pm
I stand by it. Lobdell has gone from being a great writer from the past to a horrible writer that is shitting on two of my favorites.
by Punchy » Mon Nov 14, 2011 1:10 pmThe best thing about this book is RB Silva's art, it's just brilliant. Those couple of panels where Superboy has those little dots for eyes like a Herge drawing were fantastic, and really set the book apart from the usual DC look. The story from Lobdell is good too, I really like how he's methodically approaching Superboy's powers and really having a go at explaining just what the heck Tactile Telekinesis is, because it never made sense to me before. The new villains he's introduced are also pretty interesting. But yeah, the main draw here is the art. It was pretty obvious that 'Red' was Caitlin Fairchild, but it was good to see that confirmed, and to see her in her pants for the first time in the new continuity.
by IvCNuB4 » Mon Nov 14, 2011 1:47 pmHow do we know that Red being Caitlin is one of the worst kept "mysteries" from the reboot ? Most of the characters from the new universe have been identifiable form the start so far. Maybe this one was just more of a tease for the less observant folks
by ThatGuyRoman » Mon Nov 14, 2011 11:57 pmCall me when the rest of Gen13 shows up ... preferably in a book I'll actually keep reading. I keep waiting to be interested. I like Superboy, I like Fairchild, I like Rose Wilson. I do not like this book.
by fieldy snuts » Tue Nov 15, 2011 5:56 amI'd rather they put Brian Wood or Warren Ellis on a DV8 book. That's the only decent thing to come out of Gen13....along with Lynch who later was reworked in Sleeper.
by e_galston » Tue Nov 15, 2011 12:55 pm
well i'm pretty sure Lobdell confirmed it was her after the first issue shipped.
by Timbales » Tue Nov 15, 2011 12:58 pmI'm enjoying the series quite a bit.

Many American Roman Catholics would like to see their church change. In mid-March, the Pew Research Center delivered this poll: 76% of U.S. Catholics countenance birth control; 59% want women as priests; 64% think priests should be allowed to marry.
We've been assured by Vatican watchers of all stripes that America's liberal Catholics are probably going to be disappointed in Pope Francis; the new pontiff, wrote John Allen in the National Catholic Reporter, is "unquestionably orthodox."
And yet, so far, many American Catholics are not in the least unhappy with their new pope: 73% applaud his election, according to Pew.
Maybe that's because the relationship between Francis and the faithful is still in the honeymoon stage. Maybe U.S. Catholics are resigned (only 20% think the church will change its position on female priests or married priests by 2050; a slim majority think contraception has a better chance). Maybe Francis is more of a change agent than the pundits realized.

G2006, Reviewed October 1993
Manage the cow herd for a 95 percent calf crop.
In herds with a 450-pound weaning weight and 95 percent calf crop, you have 428 pounds of calf per cow in the herd to sell. In contrast, an 85 percent calf crop yields only 383 pounds of calf per cow — or 45 pounds less per cow (Table 1).
Table 1
Percentage calf crop and average weaning weight determine pounds of calf weaned per cow1
A beef cow's critical need for good nutrition for reproduction is 60 days before and 90 days after calving. When you feed cows for maximum reproduction efficiency, their nutritional needs for production will be adequate.
The cow's priorities for nutrition are: maintenance, lactation, growth (in young cows) and reproduction. This means reproduction is the first to go and the last to return in cases of inadequate nutrition.
The thin, underfed cow reduces returns from two calf crops. First, she reduces the weaning weight of the calf she is presently nursing. Secondly, she doesn't become pregnant as quickly, which affects the following calf crop. Underfed cows may not conceive at all during the breeding season following calving.
If the herd is to maintain a 12-month calving interval, with an average 283-day gestation period, there are only 82 days to conceive again after calving.
Open cows in most herds account for about two-thirds of reduced calf crop percentages, or about 20 percent of lost calf crop in Missouri, where the average percentage calf crop weaned is 70 percent.
In addition, a commercial cattleman can seldom afford to winter a beef cow that is not carrying a calf. The best way to avoid this is by having a competent veterinarian pregnancy-check all cows that should be pregnant in late summer or fall at weaning time.
Research shows that pregnancy examination to detect open cows and replace them with heifers increases the herd pregnancy rate by 13 percent.
The per-head cost is small, depending on (a) size of the herd, (b) facilities for handling, and (c) length of time spent in connection with other veterinary services. The cost saved by not wintering one open cow will usually pay for pregnancy-checking 25 cows.
The main equipment needed is a head gate or squeeze chute. Veterinarians often supply the latter.
Even with pregnancy examinations, you may not get a 100 percent calf crop from cows diagnosed pregnant because disease, environmental stress and stillbirths cause losses.
Another common cause of lost breeding time is an infertile bull. Often, the producer doesn't discover the infertility for one or more months. Cattle producers in Missouri lose thousands of dollars each year in this way.
A competent veterinarian can examine the bull for breeding soundness and often identify defects that would decrease a calf crop. A physical examination and an evaluation of the semen should be included.
Research shows that an average of 15 percent of bulls are potentially unsatisfactory breeders because of physical defects or poor semen quality, or both. Conception rates from unsatisfactory breeders range from zero to a low percentage. Under a controlled breeding season of 60 days, a reduced conception rate is highly magnified.
The electro-ejaculator
The electro-ejaculator is a practical field tool that allows for fast and relatively easy collection of bull semen. It has the advantage over the artificial vagina of not requiring a trained bull and the quality of the semen greatly exceeds that obtained from rectal massage.
Microscopic examination of the semen at the collection site evaluates motility, concentration and percent abnormality of spermatozoa. While these measures do not always ensure that the bull is a regular breeder, they will determine if his semen is below satisfactory standards.
Untruths about electro-ejaculation
Some people say electro-ejaculation injures the bull, produces abnormal semen and makes the bull reluctant to breed naturally. But no evidence to support these claims was found in ejaculation of more than 10,000 bulls at the Schools of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University and MU.
There is a certain amount of risk of injury any time a large animal is restrained in a chute. Any natural weakness, such as scrotal hernia, would increase this risk, but these defects would present risk of injury during natural service, too.
Physical examination of the bull
Collection and analysis of semen is an important part of a breeding soundness examination, but it is only a part of the evaluation of a bull's ability to breed. A physical examination must be included. If the bull is crippled, blind, or suffers from other defects, you cannot expect a high conception rate.
Examination of the testicle is important. There is a direct relationship between testicle size and sperm production. The circumference of the testicle should be measured in centimeters. Pay particular attention to the consistency of the testicle along with the preputial sheath and penis. In this way you can identify adhesions, injuries and abnormal growths that would prevent natural service. When found early, some of these conditions can be corrected.
A rectal examination of the internal reproductive organs should also be part of the physical. No breeding soundness examination is complete without it.
Advantages of bull evaluation
It may prevent the total or partial loss of a calf crop. A week seldom passes without one to three clients appearing at the MU Veterinary Clinic with bulls of subnormal fertility. The herd history varies from low conception rate to none at all. In most cases, an examination of the bull would have warned of breeding trouble. The breeding efficiency of a herd can be improved. Routine examination of the bull for breeding soundness may reveal a bull that is only partially fertile or completely sterile — though he was fertile during the previous season.

Can a proprietary Unix be a desktop OS that competes with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux desktops? Although it may lack the visual effects of OS X, and installation is tricky in parts, Irix is a stable desktop OS -- possibly because it runs only on SGI's own hardware. Read the rest at NewsForge.

"So goes traffic, so goes the economy. An excellent indicator of economic trends, traffic congestion can tell us whether businesses are shipping products, whether people are going to work, and whether shoppers are going to the mall." –Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of INRIX
Sometimes, it seems, traffic congestion might not be a bad thing. In fact, it could be an indicator that better days (economically speaking) are close at hand – strange as that may seem.
At least, that's the conclusion reached by traffic and navigation service provider INRIX. They use statistical analysis techniques, originally developed by Microsoft Research, to aggregate and enhance traffic-related information from hundreds of public and private sources, including traditional road sensors and the company's own unique network of more than 1.6 million GPS-enabled vehicles and cellular devices.
Now, according to INRIX's third annual National Traffic Scorecard, traffic congestion and commuter travel times started rising again in 2009 – and indication, the company believes, that the overall economy is emerging from recession. "Our analysis indicates that what happens going forward in terms of increasing gridlock can be summed up in one word: jobs," said Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of INRIX.
That's because the company believes – as illustrated by Mistele's quote at the start of this post – that more congestion means more people are heading off to work, and that more trucks are on the road trying to make deliveries. That activity, in their view, forms a picture of an economy on the march. For truckers, that in turn should translate into more freight activity.
Yet traffic congestion as definitely a two-edged sword – make no mistake about it. Because more gridlock also translates into longer delays for freight deliveries and commuters alike; more fuel wasted as vehicles sit in traffic jams, going nowhere; and of course the sheer psychological frustration that comes from sitting in gridlock (even the joy of my "Best of Metallica" iTunes playlist wears thin very quickly when I'm stuck in traffic.)
According to INRIX's analysis, gridlock across the U.S. bottomed out in March and April of 2009, then started rising again – ending the year slightly ahead of the congestion levels experienced in 2008.
In fact, 58 of the top 100 most populated cities in the U.S. experienced modest increases in traffic congestion levels last year, INRIX said.
While increased unemployment kept morning commutes lighter than normal, according to the company, traffic was up nearly every other hour of the day as individuals hit the roads in search of work or other trips - a 25% increase.
By analyzing traffic on major highways in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, INRIX also compiled the ubiquitous "top 10 list" of U.S. cities with the worst urban traffic congestion last year:
1. Los Angeles, Calif.
2. New York, N.Y.
3. Chicago, Ill.
4. Washington, D.C. (up from 6th in 2008)
5. Dallas, Texas
6. Houston, Texas (down from 4th in 2008)
7. San Francisco, Calif.
8. Boston, Mass.
9. Seattle, Wash.
10. Philadelphia, Pa. (up from 11th in 2008)
These cities account for half of our nation's traffic congestion with four of the "top 10" cities experiencing modest increases in traffic congestion in 2009 (L.A., New York, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia), INRIX's data indicated.
Of the nation's top 30 largest cities, Las Vegas, Baltimore and Washington D.C. experienced more than 10% increases in congestion during peak commute periods, year-over-year.
The increase in Las Vegas congestion was primarily due to major construction along I-15 that began in the summer of 2008, while congestion in the nation's Capitol indicated – in INRIX's words – a city "bustling with activity" as the federal government enacted policies and increased spending to combat the recession.
Here's another "top 10" list with even less joy to share – the worst metro traffic bottlenecks in the U.S. Not surprisingly, New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago continued to dominate the rankings in commuting nightmares:
1. New York: The Cross Bronx Expressway/I-95 Southbound at the Bronx River Parkway. This stretch of road is so bad that traffic crawls more than 94 hours along it each week at an average of only 11.4 mph.
2. Chicago: I-90 Westbound at Cermak Rd. (up from 7th in 2008)
3. New York: Cross Bronx Expressway at I-895 (up from 5th in 2008)
4. New York: Cross Bronx Expressway at White Plains Road (up from 5th in 2008)
5. New York: Harlem River Drive Southbound at 3rd Ave. (down from 2nd in 2008)
6. New Haven, CT: I-91 Southbound at Hamilton St. (up from 62nd in 2008)
7. Los Angeles: US-101 North bound at Los Angeles St. (up from 13th in 2008)
8. Chicago: I-90 Westbound at 18th St. (up from 24th in 2008)
9. New York: Cross Bronx Expressway at Westchester Ave. (up from 11th)
10. Chicago: I-90 Westbound at Ruble St. (up from 26th in 2008)
Finally, a few other interesting tidbits INRIX's National Traffic Scorecard reveals:
• Showing the after effects of a battered economy, 2009 congestion levels were still one-third less compared to peak levels set in 2007. While varying by region, on a national level, the clock on traffic congestion has been turned back to at least 2005 – a silver lining of the tumultuous past few years.
• The nation's "Travel Time Tax" in 2009 was 8.9%, indicating the typical random peak hour trip took 8.9% longer than it would in uncongested conditions resulting in the typical urban commuter with a 30 minute commute sitting 22 hours a year stuck in traffic.
• Wednesday from 8 to 9 a.m. continues as the busiest morning peak travel time nationwide and Friday from 5 to 6 p.m. continues to be the busiest evening (and overall) commute hour - with a travel time tax of 18.8%.
• Get this one: the best day to commute is MONDAY with a Travel Time Tax of just 7.1%; the worst day is Thursday with a Travel Time Tax of 9.7%.
• Population centers experiencing high unemployment, reduced tourism and/or less convention activity experienced the highest drops in traffic congestion including Detroit, Honolulu, San Diego, and Chicago. Detroit, where the jobless rate reached a high of 17% in 2009, dropped from 18th to 27th in the rankings.
• Los Angeles has the nation's highest metropolitan travel times during peak commute hours, followed closely by Honolulu, Washington D.C. and San Francisco.
• The worst region and time to be on our nation's roads is between 5 and 6 p.m. on Thursdays in Los Angeles, where the travel time tax is 69%
• Stimulus spending on road projects nationwide is starting to have an impact on congestion, particularly in off-peak periods – and not in a good way. Delays across the country during off-peak periods – mid-days, evenings, overnights and weekends – were up 25%. Of the nation's biggest new work zone slowdowns in late 2009, more than half were directly tied to stimulus projects.
• More than 2,500 miles of the U.S.'s most important roads are congested more than 5 hours each week. Drivers on more than 437 miles of these roads experience more than 20 hours of congestion each week, or 4 hours each work day.
You can learn a lot from tracking traffic congestion, it seems.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office says a task force has been created in an effort to increase the number of affordable housing units in the city.
In a news release, the mayor's office says the task force will be made up of community leaders, several members of the City Council, developers and others. The task force is asked to make recommendations for changes in the city's Affordable Requirements Ordinance that will lead to the addition of 1,000 affordable housing units over the next five years.
The release says the task force is part of Emanuel's five-year plan to commit $1.3 billion in public and private money to build, rehabilitate or preserve 40,000 units of affordable housing in the next five years.
The task force will make recommendations later this year.

Weller joins T In The Park line-up
Paul Weller is set to rock out at T In The Park, after signing up to perform.
The Modfather, who was on the festival's original bill in 1994 at Strathclyde Park and played the first year it moved to Balado in 1997, will return to the Scottish festival for the first time in eight years, organisers have announced.
He will be joined by his own musical hero, Wilko Johnson, and Grammy-winning group Soul II Soul, who will make their debut at the Balado festival as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations.
Soul II Soul frontman Jazzie B said: "Looking forward to having a cup of T In The Park!"
Former frontman of The Jam and The Style Council, Paul went down in festival history when Noel Gallagher unexpectedly joined him on stage to play songs from Paul's back catalogue, including an impromptu acoustic set of The Jam's classics, in 2001.
The festival's director Geoff Ellis said: "Paul Weller is a true icon of British music and a huge favourite with T In The Park fans, having played many a memorable set throughout the festival's 21-year history.
"When Wilko Johnson takes to the stage I think it'll be a very special moment - he's had a seminal influence on the country's music scene, and is one of Weller's own heroes. Soul II Soul were similarly groundbreaking when they rose to prominence in the 80s, and their set will be pretty spectacular also."
Other acts that will play at the three-day musical event include Charli XCX, Neon Jungle, Earl Sweatshirt, King Charles and The Amazing Snakeheads.
Calvin Harris, Paolo Nutini, Pharrell Williams, Biffy Clyro, Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand are among the other highlights for this year's T In The Park, which runs from July 11-13 and is sponsored by Tennent's Lager.

Do you want to know how to make your cum taste better? Its well-known that cum is definitely not the most desirable taste. Bad tasting cum can be a real turn off. If your partner is turned off by the taste of your cum, it can put a halt to oral sex all together. Take this advice on how to make your cum taste better and keep your sex life on track.
- Water
- Fruits and vegetables
- Cinnamon
- Cardamom
- Peppermint
- Lemon
- Zinc
- Selenium
- Keep your genitals as clean as possible. Taste and smell are very closely related. If your genitals radiate a foul smelling odor, it can affect the taste of your semen in a negative way.
Stay away from pollutants. Stay away from caffeine, recreational drugs and nicotine.
Avoid eating junk food. Junk foods are loaded with chemicals and preservatives that can pollute your body and cause your semen to taste bad.
Drink more water. Drinking water everyday can help flush out the toxins from your body that cause your cum to taste bad. Drink at least one liter a day.
- Certain foods have been said to better the taste of semen. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Celery, pineapple, papaya, melons, mangos, etc. are all great choices. Cinnamon, cardamom, peppermint, and lemon have also been said to help mask odd semen tastes.
- Stay away from certain foods. Too much protein (red meats, dairy products, etc.) can make your cum salty. Try not to eat onions or garlic. If you eat onions or garlic the taste can carry over to your semen. Stay away from foods with a high sulfur content. This includes the broccoli family, meats, legumes, nuts & seeds, etc.
- You may want to consider taking a zinc and selenium supplement. Both are necessary for healthy sperm and can better the taste.
Tips: Strong-smelling cum can indicate an infection. If the taste of your cum does not improve, consider seeing a doctor. All of the foods you should try to stay away from are fine to eat in moderation. Just remember that what you put into your body takes anywhere between twelve to twenty-four hours to secrete.

The question is not whether it is doable, but rather whether any way it could be done automatically would be acceptable. Simply stripping off the color information and using the result often yields results that are very low in contrast with imagery that to put it mildly is not very pleasant.
Those of us familiar with analog black and white photography may recall that black and white films were designed to provide sensitivity to different colors in a manner that would yield realistic results. Even then, serious photographers often used colored filters over their camera lenses to further fine tune the results.
Those of us who often need to create monochrome images from color digital images typically treat each image individually to yield realistic and pleasing results.
Thus, be careful what you ask for. A one-size-fits-all conversion from color to grayscale for a whole document can yield very mediocre results.

2. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docdave9621 Feb 17, 2010 8:35 AM (in response to Dov Isaacs)
Dov, thank you for your well thought out, and correct, response. I agree with you whole heartedly about the sensitivity to different colors when converting to grayscale. In a perfect world when I design for black and white I carefully convert every image and balanced them as needed and build the InDesign document as a grayscale doc from the beginning. But what I'm really craving is the quick fix for a document that is done in color that a client now needs in grayscale. I get this a lot for newspaper ads. We do an ad for a magazine in color and then they say "hey, can I have this in black and white, we're going to run the same ad in a newspaper". If I could just export that same ID file as a grayscale PDF I'd be done. In this case I'd be willing to sacrifice a little quality...the same trade off as converting the PDF to grayscale in Acrobat Pro would be fine by me.
Thanks again for your answer, I hope the wizards at Adobe can come up with a good solution...it's not a big feature, but a simple one that could save me a lot of hassle here and there.
3. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docMFS11501 Apr 13, 2010 3:52 PM (in response to dave9621)
You can specify "grayscale" as an output option when you export an eps file. Why would this option not also be available for pdf or even jpg exports? Granted, you may not like the quality, in which case, you can always do things differently, but I do a LOT of B/W newspaper ads, and not being able to export pdf's as Grayscale is a real pain in the butt.
4. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docPeter Spier Apr 13, 2010 3:57 PM (in response to MFS11501)
You can, however, PRINT them to grayscale PDF. Be sure to set your black handling to output all blacks as rich black, though, to avoid screened100%K elements.
5. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docPeter Spier Apr 13, 2010 3:59 PM (in response to MFS11501)
And if everything in the ad is already on the K plate, a normal Exported PDF without color conversion should be fine.
6. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docbizpubs Apr 25, 2011 5:51 PM (in response to Dov Isaacs)
The flaw in your argument is .... we all already use a one-size-fits-all solution (conversion in Acrobat). Adobe makes us use a Rube Goldberg process, and the end result is the same as if you had an "export to grascale" option in InDesign.
7. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign dockdsclocan May 13, 2011 6:12 PM (in response to dave9621)
I've found that after exporting a CMYK print-ready pdf, if I want to convert to grayscale I do so in Acrobat. Under print production and preflight, you can go to the digital printing section and choose B/W which also does several other fixes, or you can just convert to grayscale in the pdf fixups section of the preflight window.
8. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docFlippyTheClown May 13, 2011 6:41 PM (in response to dave9621)
There are several work arounds.
- Exporting the EPS and then distillling
- Exporting the PDF then converting
- Using a third party InDesign plug in for the images - like: http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/indesign-downloads/color2gray/
It would be great to include this as a PDF export option. Even better if you could apply a 'colour profile' or similar to darken or lighten the resulting imags.
That would be SWEEEET!!
9. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docSylviaToffoletti Dec 14, 2011 7:40 AM (in response to dave9621)
Just set up your regular print menu for grayscale output, print to file for a .ps file, open the .ps file in Acrobat and you should have a Black and White version.
10. Re: Export Grayscale PDF from a color InDesign docPrinter_Rick Mar 13, 2012 1:05 PM (in response to dave9621)
Not sure if someone has suggested the following:
1. Assign a Maximum GCR CMYK profile to the InDesign document. It is fairly easy to create one of these profiles in Photoshop.
2. Change the Transparency Blend Space to RGB.
3. Draw a paper filled box over the entire page. Change the blend mode to Color. I like to put this box on a top layer that I can hide to restore color to the document.
4. Output PDF/X-1a. You will probably see a warning about the blend space, but continue on with the export.
Resulting PDF is CMYK with empty CMY plates. Be advised this procedure should be used when all you want is a quick PDF with everything on the black plate, quality not being a major issue. It may be helpful if you want to avoid Post Script, Distiller, or an extra step in Acrobat Pro.

All News Releases By Date
EPA and Scholastic Offer Spanish version of "The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up"/Children's book teaches science and environmental awareness.
Release Date: 03/14/2012
Contact Information: Lina Younes (News Media Only), Younes.lina @epa.gov, 202-564-9924
WASHINGTON - Science, imagination, education, healthier kids and a cleaner environment came together when Scholastic Inc. and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) teamed up to create "The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up" – a special edition book based on the award-winning Scholastic series. Today, EPA and Scholastic are announcing the release of the Spanish-language version of the book, "El Autobus Mágico – necesita una limpieza."
"The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up' makes the science of clean air fun," said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. "Translating the book into Spanish is a great opportunity to engage new audiences."
"For 25 years, The Magic School Bus has entertained children and educated them about how innovation and science can make the world better," said Leslye Schaefer, Senior Vice President of Scholastic Media. "Scholastic is thrilled to continue to work with the EPA in its effort to educate all children and their families about clean air."
Building on the success of the English-language version, the Spanish version of the book provides an opportunity to reach more of the nation's children. Spanish is spoken by almost 37 million people as their primary language spoken in the home and is the second most spoken language in the United States.
In "The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up," the children and Ms. Frizzle explore the pollution emitted from their own diesel school bus and learn how to reduce the emissions as they find themselves traveling through a diesel engine. Through reading the story, thousands of children have joined the book's fictional teacher, Ms. Frizzle, as she takes her students on field trips and scientific adventures. The English version of the book has been an outreach and environmental education and literacy resource since it was released in 2007.
Region 4 Regional Administrator, Gwendolyn Keyes-Fleming unveiled the Spanish-language version today at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Children's Environmental Fair, in Biloxi, Miss.
EPA, through its National Clean Diesel Campaign, addresses emissions from the nation's existing fleet of school buses to protect children's health and improve communities' air quality. Since 2008, under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Program of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (commonly known as DERA), EPA has retrofitted, replaced, or repowered over 20,000 school buses. (Scholastic's very own Traveling Magic School Bus has been retrofitted -- though not through DERA). EPA also works to bring together partners from business, education, transportation, and public health organizations to eliminate diesel emissions from school buses. More than two million students across the country are riding on cleaner buses due to the efforts of the National Clean Diesel Campaign along with individual school bus fleets across the country. Through EPA's environmental standards, buses built since model year 2007 are 60 times cleaner than a pre-1990 bus, which means cleaner air and fewer respiratory ailments. However, many older buses still remain in use.
Scholastic, Inc. is a global children's publishing, education and media company that has brought education to life through the Magic School Bus series in print and on air.

During her attempted career as a conventional top-40 type, Sky Ferreira never made it as far as a late-night TV performance. Instead, she had to reinvent herself as a dead-eyed stoner-pop queen and link up with Dev Hynes, a makeover that resulted in the great single "Everything Is Embarrassing." And last night, she made that late-night debut, singing the song on Fallon while the Roots backed her up and clouds of dry ice wafted up from the floor. It's easy to be cynical about something like that, but Ferreira has some serious presence, and she cut an imposing and fierce figure on the stage last night. This is one of those Fallon performances that you should definitely watch, and it's below.
Ferreira's Ghost EP is out now on Capitol.

Why does the Museum's Snowmastadon Project collect?
Today I conducted more interviews with Ms. Konovalenko,
focusing on the Museum's sculptures and family archives. Rick took
photographs of a Fisherman statue and various clay
sculptures that Konovalenko used as models for the stone
sculptures. Note the rabbit -- the pencil marks indicate areas that
the artist was going to remove to complete the piece. The Accordion
Player is a clay model that Konovalenko painted to show what he
wanted the finished piece to look like; he would then find
gemstones to the color and texture of the model. Look at the
expressive face in the close-up -- he really made clay and
gemstones come to life!

Empower Girls Enrich Communities
- 13 Posts
11 October is referred to as International day for the girl. It is on this day that emphasis should be on empowerment of the girl child. This day is very important to raise awareness on the importance of the developing girl because girls grow up into women. Girls are actually the backbone of societies and countries, hence the saying "give a house to a woman and she will turn it into a home".
I believe empowerment for girls means providing access to and facilitating the means of addressing issues that could impede growth and development of girls, be it in education, health and society. This is likely to be achieved through creating awareness for girls to discover and identify what is meaningful and important in their lives - such as assisting them to visualize what they want their future to look like and steps and directions to get to where they want to be; helping transform their limiting thoughts and beliefs that inevitably arise throughout their life journey as well as supporting them to sustain their new beliefs and actions so as to see results.
By doing this, we can help them to gain focus, to tackle life's challenges, work towards achieving their goals, make informed decisions, prevent and protect themselves from abuse and have confidence and clarity on what they want to achieve career-wise. I believe this can be achieved through provision of confidence building and leadership training workshops and camps where girls are equipped with life skills through participating in discussions and forums and also by providing access to their basic needs so as these reduces their vulnerability to exploitations. This will boost their self-esteem and turn them into happy and productive citizens who are likely to become assets to their communities and their countries.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. stock market closed broadly lower on Wednesday, as investors turned cautious amid a selloff of small and high-growth companies.
The benchmark S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated from record levels set on Tuesday.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.54% finished 8.92 points, or 0.5% lower at 1,888.53. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.64% broke its five-day winning streak and closed 101.47. points, or 0.6%, lower at 16,613.97. The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.95% ended the day down 29.54 points, or 0.7%, at 4,100.63.
Read the recap of MarketWatch's live blog of today's stock-market action.
"Markets are taking a pause after scaling record levels in the past few days," says Frank Fantozzi, chief executive officer at Planned Financial Services, a Cleveland, Ohio-based independent wealth manager.
"As the economy keeps improving and the Fed keeps interest rates low, stocks are likely to go higher in 2014, with some volatility along the way," he added.
The only economic report on the docket was a report on U.S. wholesale costs. Prices paid by producers jumped in April by the largest margin since the autumn of 2012, rising sharply for the second straight month. The rise suggests that price pressures might be building a bit after an extended period of extremely low inflation. Why consumer prices may not see the same spike that PPI did.
The producer-price index jumped a seasonally adjusted 0.6% last month, following a revised 0.5% increase in March, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a 0.2% increase.
Macy's gains on earnings beat, Plug Power falls
Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO, +0.70% shares rose 3.6% in aftermarket trade as the Dow component reported a fall in revenue, but results still beat estimates.
Macy's M, +1.19% shares gave up post-earnings gains and closed flat. The company reported first-quarter earnings that beat expectations, as sales improved in April after severe weather hurt business between January and March.
Shares of Deere & Co. DE, +0.78% fell 2% after the tractor maker reported its profit fell 9.5% as sales of equipment fell. It also predicted a steeper-than-expected decline in equipment sales for the full fiscal year.
Shares of Plug Power Inc. PLUG, -2.67% reversed post-earnings gains and closed down 6.6%.
Shares of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. TTWO, -1.17% lost 8% after the videogame publisher projected a wider-than-expected first-quarter adjusted loss.
Shares of Fossil Group Inc. FOSL, +0.47% dropped 10% after the watchmaker provided disappointing projected earnings for the second quarter. Read: Macy's, Deere, Cisco are stocks to watch
European stocks weaker, gold gains
In overseas markets, European stocks SXXP, -0.22% traded weaker. The release of the Bank of England's May inflation report triggered losses for the British pound across the board.
In Asia, the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index HSI, +1.29% jumped 1% after China's central bank told China's top bankers to cut mortgage rates and take other actions to support the market. Gains in Hong Kong were led by property firms. China property crash: Economists debate outlook
In other markets, crude-oil for June delivery CLM4, -2.48% rose 34 cents to $102.29 a barrel, while gold for June delivery GCM4, +0.00% gained 0.9% to $1,305.8 an ounce.

how much do the peace corps people usually get paid ?

i have a few questions that i was wondering if you could help me out on. I am actually writing a paper on the Peace Corp as a "system". Who and what makes up the Peace Corp. I know volunteers do, and they are unpaid. But what about the ones that work in the office in DC. Is this their only job, or do they have to make money else where. Any info would be a help.

Posted on Wednesday, January 26, 2005 - 6:48 pm:
volunteers are given a monthly stipend that, in theory, will allow them to live at a level equal to those people around them. i think in general peace corps volunteers tend to have more money than the people around them, but not by much. in eastern europe countries, volunteers get probably $175-$275 per month. that is, i think, the highest paid region. the average peace corps stipend is $1600 per year from what i have read.

Volunteers get paid a stipend that allows them to live modestly in the country they serve. In many countries they live without running water, flush toilets, power, or other comforts they had in the USA. They can serve 27 months, two or more months of which are training months. They can extend for another one or two years in the same country or possibly another. Staff in Washington are fully employed as staff. There are a few key positions in Washington that are appointed. A large percentage of the Peace Corps staff in the USA and abroad are under the 5 year rule. They work for five years with Peace Corps, then they have to move on for five years. Then they can come back to work for Peace Corps again for five more years.

Google announced about a week ago that its new version of Chrome turns on GPU accelerated video decoding in the browser. What does that mean exactly? Besides potentially improving performance on older systems with a reasonable GPU but slow processor, this change could also enhance battery life. In fact, Google's official blog states that battery life could improve by up to 25 percent.
This left us wondering – could a PC Web browser really have an impact on battery life? We've noticed improvements with mobile browsers in the past, but a PC is an entirely different beast with both a much larger battery and much higher power consumption.
It's time to enter the test chamber.
Our testing was performed on the Acer Aspire M3, little-known forefather of the Acer Aspire M5 we reviewed in July of this year. This Ultrabook packs a Core i5-2467M low-voltage processor and Nvidia GT 640M discrete graphics.
We grabbed a benchmark result by running a YouTube video loop using Chrome 22 (we'd not yet received the automatic update). The video ran in its normal window size at 720p resolution and Battery Eater was used in idle mode to measure run time. After three runs the Aspire M3 reached an average life of four hours and four minutes.
We then upgraded to Chrome 23 and performed the same test three more times. After our last run, the laptop reached an average life of four hours and twenty-four minutes. That's almost 9 percent better than what the laptop could achieve while running the previous version of Chrome.
An improvement of 9 percent is much smaller than 25 percent, but it's not insignificant. Twenty additional minutes of runtime could matter to a user traveling without frequent access to power sockets. We also tested under conditions we think are representative of typical use (reasonable display brightness, no background software terminated, 720p resolution), rather than those likely to produce an exaggerated result. A different scenario might result in even better endurance.
We were a bit surprised to see even a 9 percent improvement. It certainly goes to show that there's more to battery life than the hardware. The update was pushed out automatically, so any Chrome user reading this article is already benefiting from it.

@John Faulds:
If they're using WYSIWYG editors, how do they attach multiple classes without editing the HTML directly?
I used a similar technique a few years back for client using Contribute as their WYSIWYG editor. My solution to the "multiple classes without editing the HTML" problem was to create shared assets with image and caption placeholders for each width and alignment combination.
The user simply
* inserted the shared asset for the desired width and alignment
* replaced the placeholder image
* and either replaced or deleted the caption placeholder.
Here are two examples from the current site:
* Luther Wins Conference Opener
This won't win any semantic awards, but it provides the desired flexibility via a WYSIWYG editor and is better than what the client was doing, which was the floating tables.
