Talladega Superspeedway Brings NASCAR Drivers to Campuses of Alabama and Auburn for NASCAR College Initiative
On Wednesday, NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Denny Hamlin was on the UA campus to launch a NASCAR College Program that seeks to promote the sport and its events among young people.
At the same time Hamlin was hanging out with Talladega Superspeedway in Tuscaloosa, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Darrell Wallace Jr. was on the Auburn campus for the same purpose.
After the first 100 students received their "party passes" for the upcoming Talladega race they were given the opportunity to pose Victory Lane-style holding trophies with the drivers. Then both drivers showed off their skills by giving students rides to class in golf carts that looked like stock cars.
Here is a video recap of Denny Hamlin's experience in T-Town...


text: Rhône River Cruises Rhône river cruises may be most associated with France—and understandably so, since the majority of the river flows through the southeastern region of the country—but the river actually originates from the Rhône Glacier that is located about 6,000 feet above sea level in the Swiss Alps. After it descends through the Alps, the river empties into Lake Geneva and then continues on its journey south west, meeting up with the Arve River just below the Swiss city of Geneva and then rushing through the Jura Mountains. Shortly after the river flows into France it turns south and starts a trek of about 190 miles to the Mediterranean Sea, which makes it unique, as the Rhône is the only major river in Europe that flows into the Mediterranean. The Rhône's connection to the Mediterranean made it one of the most important waterways in ancient times. Not only did it serve as an inland trade route during a period when river travel was the quickest means of transportation, it also linked regions of Gaul (a Roman province that today encompasses France, Luxembourg, and Belgium, as well as sections of Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany). Before the Roman Empire, however, the Rhône River basin was home to several Celtic tribes, and the Greeks also explored the region. Several hundred years after Roman rule, during the Medieval Period, the Rhône Valley was transformed into an area populated by cathedral towns and abbeys; and while the area's wine-making tradition germinated during this time, it flourished during the Renaissance and the centuries that followed. Request a FREE Brochure Rhône River Cruising Through Lyon If Paris is the city that draws people to the Seine for a river cruise, it is Lyon that attracts travelers to the Rhône. Considered by many to be the French culinary capital (food critic Maurice Edmond Sailland, better known as Curnonsky, once declared the city to be the "gastronomic capital of the world"), Lyon is famous for its bouchons—restaurants that serve traditional Lyonnaise cuisine, such as coq au vin, rosette Lyonnaise, and a plethora of charcuterie. The most renowned of these establishments is Paul Bocuse's L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges, a Michelin 3-star restaurant that graces the fine-dining bucket lists of gourmands around the world. Should you be lucky enough to get a table, don't pass up the chef's Truffle soup, which Bocuse created in 1975 for then-president of France Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Unlike in other French cities, where wine is the alcoholic beverage of choice—so much so that one would think the fountains in the town squares are overflowing with Grand Crus—in Lyon, expertly crafted French beers are poured from taps as frequently as corks are pulled from bottles of red and white Burgundy. If you yearn for a cold beer and gastropub fare while in Lyon, make sure you visit Brasserie Georges, an art-deco styled beer hall that first opened in 1836 and serves four house-brewed beers, a pils, a gold, a brown, and a seasonal offering. Rhone River Cruises Rhône river cruise guests will be greeted by brightly colored lavender fields, plentiful vineyards, ancient Roman ruins and idyllic French villages. In between the pastoral countryside you'll discover the picturesque cities of Lyon and Avignon, as well as the iconic wine region of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. People and places along the Rhône have contributed to some of the world's most significant artistic, culinary and cultural movements. Learn More Wines Of The Rhône River Valley If wine is your libation of choice, the Rhône River Valley offers plenty of world-class options. The region is abundant in vineyards that stretch out over the hillsides, some of which are incredibly steep. The area's Mediterranean climate produces long, sweltering days during the summer and brisk winters characterized by fierce rain-bearing winds. Such severe growing conditions are what lead to dynamic, complex, and flavorful wines; and wines of that quality have become the staple of many top châteaux in the region—châteaux that specialize in Côtes du Rhône, Pouilly-Fuisse, Beaujolais and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. These wines dominate the menus of restaurants and cafés in Lyon, as well as the shelves of wine shops throughout the city. Of course, Lyon isn't a destination for only those who love to eat and drink. Film buffs will enjoy touring the streets of the city that was home to Auguste and Louis Lumière, brothers who created the first film camera in 1892. The city is now home to the Institut Lumière, which features a movie theater as well as a museum dedicated to the cinematic art form. And don't think that Notre-Dame is only famous in Paris. The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon was built in the late 19th century and is situated at the peak of the city's main hillside, which provides visitors with breathtaking views of the town. In fact, on clear days, those who make the climb to the basilica's rooftop can even catch a glimpse of the Swiss Alps in the distance. A History Buff's Paradise The entire Rhône River Valley, in fact, is teeming with Roman Catholic history; however the city of Avignon, about 140 miles south of Lyon, is the epicenter. From 1309 to 1377, the city served as the home of the Roman papacy. During that period, seven popes resided in Avignon, beginning with Pope Clement V and culminating with Pope Gregory XI. Today, the Palais des Papes (the Papal Palace in English), is a World Heritage Site made up of two buildings, the old Palais of Benedict XII and the new Palais of Clement VI, who was the most extravagant of all of Avignon's popes. Other noteworthy historical sites of the Roman Empire exist in the area, including Arles, a once vibrant Roman city that is home to a well-preserved and often-visited Roman amphitheater; and Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct that was built on the Gardon River not far from the town of Uzès. This is only a small sampling of the sights and experiences that passengers can enjoy during a European river cruise. In fact, Rhône River itineraries also include time spent in Barcelona, Monte Carlo, or Paris—in some cases cruises are bookended by time spent in two of those cities—which means Scenic passengers can immerse themselves in several European cultures over the course of their European river cruise trip. Luxury River Cruise Ships Every Scenic French river cruise begins aboard one of the company's boutique vessels or custom-built Space-Ships, so named for their spacious guest cabins, dining, and entertaining areas. Each of these four-deck Scenic Space-Ships includes numerous dining and sightseeing areas, as well as a lounge and bar area that offers panoramic views. Additionally, guests can soak up the rays at the top-deck swimming pool or retreat to the wellness center, which is equipped with a fitness area, beauty salon, and massage rooms. These ships are also noteworthy for their luxury suites, which are outfitted with sun lounges, 32-inch high-definition TVs, and complimentary wireless internet access. Rhône River cruises take place aboard Scenic Emerald and Scenic Sapphire, 443-foot-long ships that were refit in 2013 and can accommodate 167 passengers in 84 cabins, as well as 53 crew members.

Heavy-duty trucks traveling through Illinois highways may drive no faster than 55 mph, after Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich gathered up the support to kill the bill that would have upped the limit to 65 mph— the same speed as passenger vehicles are allowed.
The successful veto is a victory for advocates of safety, the Governor said.
"Raising the speed limit for trucks would have meant more accidents, more injuries, and more deaths on our roads," Blagojevich said, adding that an additional 111 people would have died in accidents per year had the new speed limit passed.

Articles Posted in Maryland Court of Appeals
Davis v. Frostburg Facility Operations, LLC
The trial court properly dismissed two of Petitioners' counts against Respondent seeking damages for injuries one of the petitioners allegedly sustained while staying at one of Respondent's facilities because these two counts alleged medical injuries within the Health Claims Act (HCA). Therefore, Petitioners were required to file those claims in the Health Care Alternative Dispute Resolute Office (ADR Office) as a condition precedent to their circuit court action. Petitioners' remaining negligence count should survive because it did not allege a breach of professional standard of care such that it must be filed in the ADR Office. Petitioners' counts sounding in contract, consumer protection, and loss of consortium also survived dismissal. View "Davis v. Frostburg Facility Operations, LLC" on Justia Law
Copsey v. Park
Evidence of non-party negligence was properly admitted in this case. Petitioners alleged that John S. Park, M.D. was negligent when he interpreted radiological images, leading to Lance Copsey's fatal stroke. Petitioners originally sued Dr. Park and three subsequent treating physicians but partially settled their claims and dismissed the subsequent treating physicians. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Dr. Park. On appeal, Petitioners argued that the trial court abused its discretion in denying their motions in limine opposing the admission of evidence regarding the non-parties' statuses as former defendants and Dr. Park's defense that the negligence of the subsequent treating physicians was an intervening and superseding cause of Copsey's death. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed, concluding that the motions in limine were properly denied because Martinez ex rel. Fielding v. Johns Hopkins Hops, 70 A.3d 397 (2013) permits the introduction into evidence of non-party negligence and causation. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) evidence of non-party negligence was relevant and necessary in providing Dr. Park a fair trial; and (2) causation was an issue for the trier of fact, and the evidence tended to show that Dr. Park was not negligent and that other independent causes contributed to Copsey's death.

Little v. Schneider
After a botched surgery, Plaintiff sued the two doctors who performed the surgery. The jury entered a verdict in favor of Plaintiff. One of the doctors, Dr. Schneider, appealed. The court of special appeals reversed, holding that the trial court erred (1) in allowing Plaintiff to question Schneider about his lack of board certification, and (2) by prohibiting Schneider from testifying about a CAT scan, from an unrelated hospital visit, that Schneider did not use in his treatment of Plaintiff. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in (1) allowing Plaintiff to discuss Schneider's lack of board certification where (i) Schneider testified only as a fact witness instead of an expert witness, and (ii) Schneider's witness accreditation exceeded the reasonable limits for accreditation of a fact witness because it inquired extensively into his professional accomplishments; and (2) excluding the CAT scan, as Schneider's testimony would have gone beyond the legitimate testimony of a fact witness because Schneider had no personal knowledge of the scan.

St. Joseph Med. Ctr. v. Circuit Court (Turnbull)
Plaintiffs, in two separate lawsuits, sued a medical doctor and medical center for medical negligence, lack of informed consent, and fraud. Prior to the trial date, Defendants successfully moved to bifurcate the trials. The administrative judge of the circuit court vacated the trial judge's orders bifurcating the trials and reassigned the cases to another judge for trial. Defendants filed a petition for writ of mandamus or prohibition to reverse the administrative judge's orders. The Court of Appeals vacated the administrative judge's orders and reinstated the orders of the trial judge, holding that, under the circumstances, the administrative judge did not have the authority to review and vacate the trial judge's decision to bifurcate the trials and to unilaterally reassign the cases.

Transcare Maryland, Inc. v. Murray
Respondent, a minor who was having trouble breathing, was transferred by helicopter from a hospital to a university medical center. Present on the flight was a paramedic employed by Petitioner TransCare Maryland, Inc., who had been invited to ride along by the UMMS nurse for training purposes. During the flight, Respondent's heart rate and oxygen level began to drop because the endotracheal tube had allegedly become dislodged and was blocking Respondent's airway. Respondent, by his mother, filed a complaint against TransCare, a commercial ambulance company, alleging medical malpractice on the basis that its employee had failed to provide the requisite standard of care and that TransCare was liable for Respondent's resulting brain injury under the principle of respondeat superior. The circuit court granted summary judgment for TransCare, concluding that TransCare was immune under the Good Samaritan Act and the Fire and Rescue Act. The court of special appeals reversed, holding that neither statute applied to a private, for-profit ambulance company. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding that neither statute relieved TransCare of liability for the allegedly negligent actions of its employee while its employee was in training.

Powell v. Breslin
In Powell I, Plaintiff sued Doctor and others for medical malpractice. The circuit court granted summary judgment to Appellees in 2007. The appellate court held that the appropriate remedy was to dismiss the suit. The Supreme Court affirmed, vacated the grant of summary judgment, and remanded for dismissal. By the time the complaint was dismissed in 2011, the statute of limitations had expired on the merits of the substantive claims. In Powell II, Plaintiff filed a second, identical statement of claim in 2007. The circuit court granted Defendants' motion for summary judgment in 2008 under the doctrine of res judicata. In 2011, Plaintiff filed in Powell II a motion to reopen case and vacate judgment, arguing that the circuit court's reliance on the preclusive effect of the decision in Powell I was faulty. The circuit court denied the motion. The Supreme Court accepted certification and held (1) in Powell II, the judge did not err in granting summary judgment because, at the time, the doctrine of res judicata barred the maintenance of the litigation based on the 2007 grant of summary judgment in Powell I; and (2) the circuit court did not err in denying Plaintiff's motion to reopen case and vacate judgment.

Mercy Med. Ctr. v. Julian
These petitions for certiorari pertained to contribution among joint tort-feasors and arose from a medical malpractice action in which Petitioners, the Spences, alleged wrongful death and survival claims against Petitioner Mercy Medical Center and Respondents, a medical doctor and his practices. The issue of contribution arose because the Spences and Mercy entered into a pre-trial settlement by which the Spences agreed to dismiss their claims against Mercy without exacting an admission of liability. After Mercy was dismissed as a party, the case proceeded to trial against Respondents, which resulted in a verdict in favor of the Spences. Respondents subsequently initiated a separate action against Mercy seeking contribution. The Spences contemporaneously brought suit against Respondents seeking a declaration that Respondents were not entitled to contribution. At issue before the Court of Appeals was whether the Spences' release extinguished any right Respondents had to seek contribution against Mercy because Respondents did not join Mercy as a third party defendant in the original action after it was dismissed as a party. The Court of Appeals held that Respondents were not prohibited from pursuing contribution from Mercy in a separate action because the release's conditional language did not fully relieve Mercy's contribution liability.

Duckett v. Riley
Respondent filed a medical action against Petitioner, a medical doctor. At issue before the Court of Appeals was whether a completed case information report, on which an election of a jury trial is noted and which is filed with the complaint, but not served on the opposing party, is a proper vehicle for demanding a jury trial. The court of special appeals held that it was and, therefore, reversed the judgment of the circuit court, which had reached the opposite result. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that a case information report form, being neither a "paper" nor a "pleading" and, in any event, having not been served on the opposing party, is neither a proper nor timely means of demanding a civil jury trial pursuant to Md. R. 2-325(a) and (b). View "Duckett v. Riley" on Justia Law
Anderson v. United States
Appellant Angelia Anderson brought a medical malpractice action in the U.S. District Court against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). The FTCA contains a two-year statute of limitations regarding the timeliness of bringing claims against the government. However, if there is substantive law in the state where the claim arose governing the timeliness of a similar claim, the state provision controls over the FTCA's statute of limitations. A state statute of repose is considered substantive law and prevails over the procedural FTCA statute of limitations. The district court granted the government's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jursidiction. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals certified a question of law to the Maryland Supreme Court. At issue was whether Md. Code Ann. Cts. & Jud. Proc. 5-109(a)(1), which provides that the time period allowed for bringing a medical malpractice action is five years from the time the injury was committed, was a statute of limitation or a statute of repose. The Court held that the plain language of section 5-109(a)(1), confirmed by its legislative history, demonstrates that the statute is a statute of limitations, rather than repose. View "Anderson v. United States" on Justia Law
Univ. of Md. Med. Sys. Corp. v. Muti
Decedent Elliott Multi died in March 2005. Plaintiffs were the widow of Decedent and the adult children of her marriage with Decedent. Plaintiffs filed a claim against the University of Maryland Medical Systems Corporation (Defendant), alleging medical malpractice and wrongful death. Defendant moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to join a necessary party, a stepson whom Decedent had adopted during a prior marriage. The circuit court dismissed Plaintiffs' wrongful death claims for failure to join the stepson as a "use" plaintiff. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that, under the totality of the circumstances, the circuit court abused its discretion in dismissing Plaintiffs' wrongful death claims as a sanction for the omission of the stepson as a use plaintiff, as there was no basis for inferring that the stepson was omitted for the purpose of hiding the litigation from him or in the hope that Plaintiffs would increase their recovery. Remanded. View "Univ. of Md. Med. Sys. Corp. v. Muti" on Justia Law

hat are greenhouse gases? Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat within our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide is one of the gases that is transmitted into our atmosphere naturally as well as through the actions of activities which humans perform on a daily basis. Some of the other gases which are naturally transported into our atmosphere are the following:
Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted into our atmosphere through the production and transportation of coal, natural gases and oils. Methane gases are created by means of livestock as well as other agricultural practices. Decaying of waste in solid landfills also creates methane gases.
Nitrous Oxide (N2O): Agricultural and industrial activities are the causes for the emitting of Nitrous Oxide as well as fossil fuel combustions and solid waste.
Fluorinated Gases: These gases consist of Hydroflucarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and perfluorocarbons. These gases are emitted through practices of industries. This gas is sometimes utilized to substitute for ozone depleting substances. They are emitted in small quantities but because of the potency they are commonly referenced as High Global Warming Potential gases. ("High GWP gases").
A rising concentration of greenhouse gases over time produces an increase in the temperature upon the Earth. Over time the change in the temperature affects many things such as precipitation levels, storm severity and sea levels. This is commonly called "climate change". The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggests that the climate of the Earth has shown an increase of 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius over a period of a century. The IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (Summary for Policymakers) states that due to the increased anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations that the global temperatures have increased since the mid-20th century.
The EPA (Environmental Protections Agency) proposed that industries report their greenhouse emissions. Environmentalists praised this step by the EPA in what they deemed a very important step in protecting the environment. If this rule is enacted, some 13,000 industries nationwide will be forced to report to report their emissions into our Earth's atmosphere. This will not only be limited to a single industry. All manufacturing industries will have to perform this task.
This proposed rule which falls under the Clean Air Act would include 85% to 90% of greenhouse emissions within our nation. The requirements would not only include carbon dioxide emissions but many other gases such as nitrous oxide, methane and hydroflurocarbons. If this proposed rule is enacted, the first reporting will begin as soon as 2011. The estimated cost as reported by the EPA will on average cost the industries $160 million dollars but will fall to $127 millions dollars in 2012.
The EPA has officially stated that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases do indeed pose a danger to the health and welfare of our communities. Industry officials have stated that they would rather aid in shaping standards as compared to a federally regulated program. Legal experts have stated that the EPA will have no choice but to regulate the greenhouse emissions under the Clean Air Act if the proposed rule comes into effect. The House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry A Waxman (D-Calif) has pledged to pass the bill by Memorial Day.

"WELCOME OUT!" Support People Released From Jail At Cold, Unfriendly Hours. Help distribute warm clothes, warm beverage, and a welcoming smile!
March for Chris Burgess, murdered by Eureka Police Officer Oct 23, 2006.
PROTEST & DINNER Stop the criminalization of youth!
Being young is NOT A CRIME! Stop the school-to-prison pipeline!
Come out on Oct. 22nd and 23rd, Tuesday and Wednesday, united for Days of Action Against Police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation. Oct. 22nd is the 18th National Day of Protest and the 23rd is the Memorial Day of Chris Burgess who, at age 16, was shot to death by Eureka Police Officer, Terry Liles, who is still an EPD cop and continues to terrorize kids and adults.
We stand in solidarity with courageous prisoners who went on hunger strike this July for an end to torture in CA prisons, in solidarity with kids who, now, if they get in trouble in school, don't get sent to the principal's office but to the criminal in-justice system, put on probation, setting them up for a life of targeting and lock up- as what happened to young Chris Burgess, pursued and murdered for not reporting to probation. We stand in solidarity with people being targeted for living outside, without shelter, with little resources, while affordable housing and living wage jobs are a joke here; we stand in solidarity with all oppressed people, those being beat down, hunted, stolen from, killed, entombed in concrete cells, separated from their loved ones --for migrating to the U.S., for having little to no resources, for being a person of color, for speaking up against imperialism and human right violations, for being young or trans or gay or simply different.

Teach it right the first time
To the editor:
What is the Washington County Board of Education trying to do to our kids? As a step-dad with pre-teens in the county, and someone involved in homework, I've become infuriated with the craziness of our public system of education. Did you know that our children are being taught to spell "foneticly?" And even more nuts, they are being taught to do estimated mathematics!!
It is not that difficult to teach kids to spell correctly or to multiply two numbers with an accurate product. Why do it any other way?
Will these kids get hired for jobs if the spelling on a job application "sounds right" but is wrong? Can they go to the supermarket and buy $100 worth of products because the $96 in their pocket will "round up" to $100? Will they succeed in science or engineering by estimating math? Can you build high-rise offices, or make cars and airplanes with estimated math? No. So what is the point?

text: IMAP4 support. Internet Mail Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) is a public Internet standard for e-mail and server-based mail storage. Improved IMAP4 support in Entourage X allows you to manage messages more effectively both online and offline. In addition, the IMAP4 standard enables connection to Microsoft Exchange Server and Mac.com. Q: Does anyone know if Entourage can sync with Outlook (Windows) users? I can see from Microsoft's website (see above text) that it will sync with EXCHANGE SERVER itself, but what about with Outlook -- PC users can do it without Exchange. What's the deal? It seems that (according to Microsoft) MS is moving toward IMAP4 instead of Outlook's older data format. Does anyone know about this topic??

Holly wanted to go pick Kirby up from the airport all by herself. Her dad's helping a friend load a truck to move out of state. Marty is in El Paso with Brett Henry, at a weekend-long SCA event. I'm hanging out at the house.
Kirby called and said his plane was
Now they're going to go to lunch and then buy something for Marty for his 19th birthday tomorrow. At some point I'll get to see Kirby for the first time since he left in late August. I don't feel I need to spend a lot of time with him. I mostly want to smell his hair and his head. Odd checklist, maybe. One single urge, but I totally understand it.

To be perfectly frank, we want you spending this month, what you earned last month.
This Rule is something to strive for, and likely isn't something you can implement
right away. However, with the help of the other three rules, you'll get there.
Spend this month, what you earned last month. How? Save enough money to go an entire month without touching your regular income. Then the next month, spend last month's income while earning this month's income. You'll spend this month's income next month. See how this works in YNAB 4.
John lives paycheck to paycheck. He knows the date of his next paycheck well in advance, and has a stack of bills he's timing to go out as soon as the paycheck hits his account. He times bills to paychecks every pay period. This is stressful: juggling due dates, cash flow, and other unexpected expenses (Rule Two!). He's habitually stressed.
John has a month's worth of paychecks saved before the month starts. (YNABers call this their "Buffer"). When bills arrive, he pays them. He doesn't worry about when the next paycheck arrives because the money's already there. He's habitually happy.
Operating on the brink of financial disaster, where you whittle your account down to three dimes and a nickel before payday, is no way to live. Consider Martyn's experience where his employer was late with their payday. Martyn was following Rule Four...
"When we got our tax refund this March we were able to set aside one month's expenses for the first time and stop living paycheck to paycheck. This past week it came in handy when my company missed a payroll for the first time. While others panicked and ran about securing cash and delaying payments, I was able to cruise on through the week without worries. The check has come a week late but six months ago a one week delay would have been disastrous."
How many times are you stressing out about money simply because you're not giving yourself some breathing room?
For all the grief I get from people telling me they "don't have time to do a budget," I'm amazed how many of those same people have time to sit there and do the absolutely value-less activity of orchestrating some elaborate schedule of timing bills to paychecks. Are you guilty of building out a separate spreadsheet, calendar, or ledger just to track it all?
Now ponder that for a moment. I want you to set aside enough money so you can live off that money for one month. Then you're ahead for good! Money earned in Month One, will be used in Month Two. And what you earned in Month Two, will be used in Month Three. You're Perpetually ahead, and free from the wasted hours calculating your running balance of a future payday with bills almost past due.
Add in the time it will take to set up and maintain a budget, then subtract the time it used to take you to time your bills to your paychecks. You'll be hours ahead. Julie and I spend 1-2 hours per month working on the budget (I don't count the few seconds it takes me to enter transactions on my YNAB for iPhone (or Android). It's time spent walking out of the store. I wouldn't be doing anything else anyway.)
All of you freelancers, Realtors, business owners, entrepreneurs—anyone that has a variable income from one month to the next: you can budget.
We talked in Rule One about choosing your priorities, Rule Two about guessing at inestimable expenses, and Rule Three about admitting the fact that your guessing will be totally wrong, and what to do about it. Budgeting involves a lot of moving targets on the expense side of things. If the income side is variable, it's no wonder those people think budgeting doesn't work.
Income is the most important number in your budget because it tells you how much you have to spend. If that single number is wrong, things don't work.
When you're living on last month's income, that income number is the most accurate number in your budget. There's no guessing about it. It's what you earned last month down to the penny. If you're a realtor and you pulled in $1,000 in commissions, you know you're dealing with a low month. It's a known. It's reality, and you can do things to get by. If you earn $12,000 in a fantastic month, you can look ahead, figure not every month will be that great, and ready yourself for some slumps.
Consider this tweet I caught a while ago:
@zanateh: "YNAB...gave us foresight in a flush Sept to prepare for lean Oct."
I couldn't have said it better myself. Especially not in 140 characters or less.
How many times are you stressing out about money simply because you're not giving yourself some breathing room?
Budgeting involves a lot of moving targets on the expense side of things. If the income side is variable, it's no wonder those people think budgeting doesn't work.
Given your current mode of operation, you're correct. However, once you implement Rules 1-3, (especially Rule One), you'll free up cash, experience "the raise" people get when they begin budgeting, and be able to begin setting aside money.
Absolutely not. It takes the average YNABer four months to save the money necessary to live one month ahead of their income. Start with the other three Rules and you'll be motivated at the progress you make. Money will flow. You'll feel super-focused, and you'll get to Rule Four. And after that, shoot, you'll be unstoppable.
We'll use an example with simple math. Let's say you take home $5,000 per month. Before finding YNAB, you spent $5,000 per month and lived paycheck to paycheck. Now, you've seen the light (hallelujah!).
Now, because you're budgeting and really working hard to live on last month's income, you're only spending $4,000. That means you're saving $1,000 per month toward the Buffer. We capitalize Buffer around here because it's important.
If you save $1,000 per month for five months, you'll have saved a total of $5,000. So at the beginning of the sixth month (remember, you used the first five months to save that $5,000), you're essentially sitting on a month's worth of pay. You'll use that money for the sixth month, earn $5,000 during the sixth month, then use that $5,000 for the seventh month.
That's it. You're there. You will, forever and always, be living one month ahead.
And please don't worry about all of the math here. The software takes care of it all for you. It's built to guide you toward this Rule. It's a cinch. (The math part is a cinch. Actually doing the work of saving your money is on you. You can do this!)

INDIANAPOLIS — Coach John Fox wants the Broncos to fill the holes in their defense. So during the April 26-28 draft, the Broncos will be looking for impact players at defensive tackle and in the secondary.
The NFL scouting combine closes Tuesday after the defensive backs work out at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Broncos figure to be watching those players closely.
North Alabama's Janoris Jenkins and Oregon's Cliff Harris, two of the top cornerbacks on this year's draft board, are carrying a lot of baggage because of their issues off the field.
Jenkins started his college career at Florida and was an all-Southeastern Conference player as a junior with the Gators. But he was thrown off the team and played his senior season at North Alabama, a Division II school.
Jenkins was asked Sunday at the scouting combine why he was tossed off the team at Florida.
"I failed one drug test at Florida. I got arrested three times, one for a bar fight and two for possession of marijuana," he said.
He said he was "honest, straightforward, told 'em I did it" in his interviews with NFL teams. "I admitted to everything. I take full responsibility. I learned from it. It made me a stronger person, taught me how to fight through reality, that I've got to separate myself from certain guys, certain people. To be successful at the next level, I can't do the things I used to do."
Jenkins played well at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., against big wide receivers. But his baggage won't disappear until he shows the NFL team that drafts him that he can stay out of trouble.
Harris was a star at Oregon until he was tossed off the team. He's a terrific punt returner and also shined in the Ducks' secondary, but he's also bringing baggage into the draft. He has a history of trouble with the law, including a speeding ticket (he was clocked at 118 mph on a freeway) while driving a borrowed rental car even though he had a suspended license.
"Everybody's different. All situations are different," said John Elway, the Broncos' executive vice president of football operations. "But when you look at players, you try to get as much information as possible on every level to see if what you're looking at is an isolated incident or a trend."

The World Food Championships (WFC) claims to be the largest competition in food sport, where champions convene in Kissimmee, Florida, for a chance at winning the ultimate food crown and a share of $300,000. The World Food Championships media initiative ranges from live-event integration and activations to a robust multimedia platform that serves culinary stars, home cooks, brands and destinations.
One chef invited to attend this year's event is Bald Headed Bistro's Executive Chef Eric Fulkerson. Fulkerson previously served as the Chef de Cuisine at Reynolds Plantation where he once made lunch for Laura Bush. He is a graduate of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University in Charleston, South Carolina. Prior to joining Reynolds Plantation, Fulkerson was Sous Chef at Osprey Point Restaurant at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina.
He recently won the Five Star Food Fight at the Chattanooga Market and says, "I'm looking forward to this event." The Bald Headed Bistro is East Tennessee's fine Western dining destination.
In three short years, WFC has awarded more than $1 million in prizes and money, spawned a TV series, garnered more than $5 billion in media impressions and launched numerous professional careers for successful contestants.
Nowhere in the culinary landscape is the spirit of integration and engagement more alive than at the World Food Championships, where the world's most creative food champions face off for pride and culinary glory. In 2014, the World Food Championships aired as a six-episode reality series on the A&E Network's FYI Network.
Now contestants are getting ready for the high-stakes, high-reward culinary competition to hit the Sunshine State from November 3 through November 10, 2015.

Have A Green Christmas
The holidays are a fun time of year with lots of gifts and decorations but unfortunately it creates tons of waste filling our landfills.
How can we change?
By buying reusable products. If you use something at least twice you've saved that much from being thrown away.
Christmas Trees-
Each year 50 million real trees are bought and 30 million of those trees go into the garbage after the season is over.
One acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people.
How can we change this situation?
Artificial trees have come a long way in looking more and more like a real tree. Some come complete with lights so all you have to do is put three or four parts together, plug it in and you are set to go. These trees can be used over and over again. They disassemble down to fit into a box that doesn't take up much space. Store it under a guest bed, in the attic, closet or basement until the next year.
Another option is buying a real tree in a pot, after the holidays you can plant it outside in your yard or out in the country. Either way you aren't killing a tree and adding to the environment.
If you absolutely feel the need to buy a real tree, some places have composting stations set up to take your dead tree. They will shred it and use it for gardening mulch in the spring.
Gift Wrap-
This adds up to about 4 million tons of waste. We don't think about how much is thrown away after our holiday fun is over but I'm sure you have realized how much more garbage you carry out compared to the rest of the year.
Due to the dyes, coating and plastics added these products are difficult to recycle.
I bought heavy-duty decorated boxes a few years a go and reuse them over and over again. I also purchase the nicer ribbon with wire and make my own bows we recycle again and again. Just roll the ribbon up and store in one of the boxes.
I have a sister in law that doesn't recycle anything and finds this amusing but most everyone else doesn't have a problem with it especially after they see how nice my gifts look. They are much more attractive than any of the bags or wrapped presents anyone else brings.
As boxes begin to wear you can repaint or rewrap the lids and bottoms separately continuing to use these great containers.
Christmas Cards-
This is a tradition I would gladly see go by the wayside but unfortunately many people still enjoy doing it, especially the older generation. I feel obligated so I do still send some out.
With email and ecards this will eventually disappear but until then there are ways to help with this wasteful form of greeting.
We throw out 2.65 billion cards each year, that's 200,000 trees.
Hemp is a much better resource but not easily found in America. You can find some hemp products online but recycled paper is more readily available. Another cool thing I found are cards you can plant. Wild flower seeds are imbedded inside each card so next planting season your friends and family can put the paper in their flowerbed, cover with dirt, water and they'll have pretty blooms to enjoy. It's two gifts in one.
The Sierra Club offers cards made from recycled paper and a portion of the proceeds goes to help the environment and plant more trees.
Christmas Food-
I'm just as guilty as the next person about wasting food. I always cook too much and end up throwing out some items. I am doing better but could still improve.
Try not to cook more than your family can eat. Americans throw out around 28 billion pounds of leftovers each year. I can only imagine how many people that would feed.
We should make less or invite those who don't have anywhere to go. I often see friends online in other states who say they will be spending the holiday alone eating pizza or carry out food. Just imagine if we all invited one or two other people to our homes during this time how much less food would be wasted. We all know a lonely neighbor who is a widower or someone who lives away from family.
It seems these days that everything runs on batteries. You get a toy and it says on the box: batteries not included.
Buy rechargeable when possible and if not at least be sure to recycle them. Most battery stores will take them.
This website will help you find locations to take your old batteries:
- Call2Recycle US > Recycling Your Rechargeable Batteries and Cell Phones
Recycle your rechargeable batteries and cell phones.
I love using fabric to wrap presents - I use the fabric I've collected for patchwork - it's nice to see it more often than when I open the cupboard door. But you do need to let people know that the fabric isn't part of the gift, unless you specifically want it to be!
Very thoughtful - particularly about cooking too much.
If it gets too much, I just have turkey for the whole week.
Turkey Sandwich
Potatoes, gravy and Turkey
Pasta and Turkey
Turkey in Tortilla.....
Happy Xmas.
Great ideas! I have a 4 foot fake Christmas tree in a planter that has lasted for years and still looks good...so much easier than dealing with a real tree.
I'm concernded about the planet as well and was going to write a hub about recycling this season but you beat me to it.
What I didn't think about was how much leftovers we throw away. That's a lot of waste. I always try not to throw any food out but am not as successful as I would like to be.
Voted up and useful, awesome, interesting!
Really great advise. There unfortunately is so much waste at xmas time, especially with all the trees, wrapping, boxes and packaging and food. We all need to do our part. Thanks for sharing this! Voted Up and Awesome.
Oh, yes, Pamela - except I'm probably more your mother's generation. Mine was born in 1892! (of course, I was a miracle baby!) Mother always attributed her saving ways to the Scottish part of her heritage, though she might have made them look extravagant! She somehow made it fun, though - perhaps due to the Irish and English parts of her ancestry. . . . :-) I love that video of the little Santa & reindeer!
Your green efforts are important, even if the recipients don't get it.
Very informative ideas for Christmas. Interesting hub thanks to share.
My gift wrapping has always been somewhat a recycling project. My mother practically invented recycling! She would sign a card on the inside on the very bottom 1/8th of an inch, so one could snip it off and use it again! haha.
Good article!
In my basement I have a section for empty gift bags, boxes, ribbons and bows. After moving out of the house my sons still come back when they need gifting materials. I even save the tissue paper if it is in good enough shape. Excellent article on having a green Christmas!
Love the tips on this. Replacing gift wrap with boxes is a great idea. And think of all the time you'll save on wrapping too.
Rechargeable batteries are also good. It will save you money in the long run as well.

Scala Contarini del Bovolo
October 18 - November 26, 2017
extended till January 7, 2018
produced and organized by Galleria d'Arte Maggiore G.A.M.
In the magnificent setting of Scala Contarini del Bovolo in Venice, Galleria d'Arte Maggiore G.A.M. is pleased to present an exhibition dedicated to Giorgio Morandi's etchings considered nowadays absolute masterpieces of the engraving art. Focusing on this aspect of the production of the Bolognese Master means giving significance to a technique to which Morandi dedicated himself throughout all his career, with excellent expertise and poetic flair, considering it as essential as his oil paintings production. The exhibition examines the main themes that characterize his artworks: the landscapes of his hometown, refined flower vases and, above all, the still lives which accompanied him over all his existence, finding every time the perfect balance between delicate signs and intense effect of light and shade.
Giorgio Morandi always put the engraving technique at the heart of his artistic research. The Master, indeed, had started to dedicate himself to etchings since 1910-11, developing that language and those themes that followed him during all his life. Despite the economy of his subjects, the still lives and the landscapes which characterize his artistic path distinguish themselves for the incessant variability of their expressive strength. His aim was to explore in depth all the possible formal balances and tone variations that different grades of chiaroscuro can create, reaching in this way various and excellent results. It is no accident that Morandi is considered one of the greatest engravers of the XX Century and that in 1930 he was nominated to be the teacher of Engraving Techniques at the Academy of Fine Art in Bologna. His lessons continued till 1956.
For this reason Morandi never subordinated the engraving art to the painting. Since the Venice Biennale of 1928, the first year in which he took part to it, Morandi has always loved to select his etchings in order to present his research to the Biennale's international public. Over the years, the results he obtained continue to be sublime and his desire to deeply investigate objects and places around him never stopped. This means analyzing how to modify tonal shades, how to calculate the hatching weaving and test every time different compositions based on bright reflections. Thanks to his incredible know-how and mastery, Morandi was awarded in 1953 the international recognition of the Grand Prize for the Engraving at the Sao Paulo Biennale in Brazil.
The exhibition taking place at the Scala Contarini del Bovolo in Venice underlines once again the importance of the Bolognese Master for bringing up the engraving to standards which have never been reached before, maintaining always unvaried attention to the intensity and the expressive strength of his content. The extraordinary exhibition context will be the perfect frame in order to fell the poetry released by Morandi's signs. The Venice exhibition also continues a long tradition of shows dedicated to the great Master by Galleria d'Arte Maggiore. Among the most recent, we have to mention the success of "Giorgio Morandi. Lines of Poetry" at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art in London in 2013, the most comprehensive exhibition of etchings ever realized outside Italy.

Free to Read
Think for a minute about how many times a day you read something. You are actually reading at this very moment. In fact, we read so much that we take it for granted, like breathing.
Now try to imagine not being able to read. How would you know what street signs say? How would you fill out a job application, use a computer, figure out medical instructions from your doctor? The world would be a scary, frustrating place. Unfortunately, there are still too many who have never learned to read. Often it is the fault of poverty. Children in poor areas do not always have access to books, so they are already at a disadvantage when they enter public school.
According to the Barbara Bush Literacy Foundation website, www.bushhoustonliteracy.org, "Research has shown there is only one book available for every 300 children in low-income areas, as opposed to 13 books on average in homes of middle to low income children." It also states that in 2012, Texas ranked 50th in the nation in percentage of adult population with a high school education.
Retired Lamar University biology professor Michael Warren was visiting his daughter in Houston five years ago when he saw his first Little Free Library. "I was on a home tour when I noticed a box full of books in one of the yards. I thought it was intriguing, so I starting researching it and decided to get involved. The website (www.littlefreelibrary.org) has all the information you need to get started. The goal is admirable. It is to encourage people to read. There is also a map of all the little libraries that are registered. I got my wife, daughter and her husband in the car and went looking for them!" chuckles Warren. "Now I have built several of them in my garage to give away."
The Free Little Library movement began in 2009 when Todd Bol from Hudson, Wisconsin, mounted a wooden box designed to resemble a schoolhouse on his lawn. He filled it with books and dedicated it to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. People who passed by were welcomed to take a book and a leave a book in exchange. The idea was quick to gain popularity. In 2012, the organization was granted nonprofit status and has since been named one of the top 10 nonprofits in America. Little Free Libraries has been honored by the National Book Foundation, the Library of Congress and the Library Journal and others for its work promoting a love of reading.
At first, the organization set a modest goal to create 2,150 Little Free Libraries. Today, there are over 50,000 registered Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and 70 other countries.
Each library box is identified with a sign that reads "Little Free Library" and its own official charter number. Stewards of the boxes keep them full of books, usually for school-aged children, but they can be for any age.
"My daughter is a first-grade school teacher," Warren says. "She put a box up in her classroom. One little girl in her class had originally come to school not knowing how to even work a book. She tried to start at the back. These are the kids that need it most."
The idea of a neighborhood book exchange sounds good on paper, but how does it really work? "The books are not always returned, but that's OK. If a book finds its way into a child's hands and inspires them to read, then the goal has been met," said Warren. "I just enjoy the adventure of it."
Warren has three little free library boxes nearing completion that need homes. "If someone wants a box or just more information about the program, they can call me at 409.892.8687."
The Free Little Library located outside the Windmill Museum at 1500 Boston Avenue, Nederland, is a project of the Interact Club at Nederland High School. According to Kay DeCuir of Nederland Rotary, which sponsored the club, members pulled from several resources to get the box built and mounted about two months ago. "They find books at garage sales, and they also have fundraisers so they can buy brand new books," said DeCuir. "People who visit the museum are always fascinated by the little library. So far, the box has stayed full, so people are returning or exchanging their books. The Interact Club intends to install a Little Free Library at Doornbos Park in the coming school year."

"We are living in an age and in a culture increasingly antagonistic to individualism and to the ideal of personal autonomy. Many psychologists and psychiatrists share this antagonism and express their hostility through therapeutic practices that are subversive not only of the patient's autonomy but also of their self-esteem and mental health. Personal autonomy and self-esteem are essentials of the individual's well-being."

Big Peat Christmas Edition 2012 (Douglas Laing)
Posted by Tom
I was lucky enough to sample this Christmas Cask Strength edition of Big Peat at this years Whisky fringe and really enjoyed it.
It has some tannic notes that i'm not brilliantly keen on but the smoke is lovely and the strength adds to the flavours and works really well.
A better dram than the standard Big Peat in my opinion.
Not the easiest to find a bottle of this although you can get one at The Whisky Exchange
smoky and winey almost metallic red wine, almost overpowers the smoke for me, some blackcurrent cordial there too
fresh and smoky, not so much wine notes, definite blackcurrent cordial and crushed grape juice
smoky and smooth

After Hillary Clinton's loss, women around the country grieved. So did their young daughters. The glass ceiling held.
"To all the little girls watching this, never doubt that you are powerful and valuable and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world," Clinton said in her concession speech.
Clinton reminded us of the little girls throughout her campaign, even producing an ad showing them looking in the mirror while listening to Donald's Trump's put-downs of women. Clinton implored us to remember this election would speak to them.
That's why Trump's victory was a crushing, devastating blow to those hoping to send a message that misogyny would no longer be tolerated.
It's not enough to tell little girls they still matter. It's not enough to tell little girls they can become anything they want in life. It's not enough to tell them they're equal to little boys.
Little girls should know they may be in for a different ride in life. When they show leadership, they may be told they're bossy, attention-seeking and annoying. They may not get the same kind of praise for a job well done. They may not get the same raises. They may not get the same promotions. They may be told they're not likable. They may be told they're too ambitious. They may be told to wait their turn. When they wait their turn, they may be told they're entitled.
No one wants to have that conversation with little girls. We don't want to admit this stuff still happens. We don't want to expose them to these unpleasant realities. We don't want to confront our own biases and our own complicity.
Many people say Clinton didn't lose because she's a woman. Even if that's true, we can't deny she's been held to a different standard her whole career. We can't deny Trump's misogyny didn't prevent him from winning an election.
I have no doubt there will one day be a woman president. Maybe it will be more likely if we confront what often happens to women when they strive for success. Maybe women would be more prepared for these obstacles if they were warned — when they were little girls.
My book, Broad, Casted explores the role of gender in my journalism career and campaign for state assembly. It is available in print and digital editions. There will be a book signing at the Little Theatre Cafe on November 20, from 2 to 4 p.m. Coffee and cookies provided.

What is a pet cave, you ask? It's a dog bed with a roof! Milo is a natural burrower and when I saw this on Groupon, I had to order it for the little digger. He chewed on it first, like most else in our house, but after I showed him the picture he eventually got the hang of it.
It probably helped that the "model" dog was a fellow beagle.

As if 373 films isn't a few too many to take in over 10 days at the Berlinale, pity the poor punters a few block away at Martin Gropius Bau, where this year's European Film Market is being held concurrently. With the rights to 702 films on the block, the euros are flowing fast as distributors and financiers scoop up next year's hits and flops.
I slipped into the 19th century museum, designed by and named for the uncle of Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, with Melbourne International Film Festival director Richard Moore. Moore, as regular readers will know, is currently producing The Foundation, a film focusing on the art and life of Johann Dieter Wassmann and the efforts of MuseumZeitraum Leipzig to repatriate his works from Washington.
This is truly the business end of film; fat-cats lurk in every corner negotiating with affable film-makers hoping to pay off their debts and find a screen to show their dreams on. Better you than me, Richard.
For what it's worth, one unlit-cigar-chomping English exec told us the big buzz is as follows: a culture clash romantic comedy by Julie Delpy, the latest project from Park Chan-wook, a new top secret documentary by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) that The Weinstein Company scooped up and David Mackenzie's Competition entry Hallam Foe.

I had a busy week, and of course my weekend will be just as busy.
Today I cleaned off my desk and actually finished off a bunch of "things to do" that had piled up for the past few months while I was busy training new drivers.
I met a friend for dinner and then went to my AA meeting to help Doreen celebrate 25 years of sobriety!! She was 19 years old when she decided to turn her life around and enter alcoholics anonymous. She is only 44 years old and looks 30! She calls me her sponsor and calls me at least twice a week. That is how you "work the program". You get a sponsor, don't drink, go to meetings and help others that want to get sober. Period. It is that simple. Life has its struggles, and yes you might have suicidal thoughts at times, but do not put alcohol as an option to make things better. Period. We had chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting (YUM) at half time.
I got home at 10:00pm and called a friend from Church and we sat here and watched "The Passion of The Christ". Of course we sat here in total silence with tears rolling down our faces. He died for our sins, folks! As I watched the nails being pounded into his flesh, I felt it! I remembered too many of my sins. I pray and asked forgiveness knowing he died for my sins and I will be accepted in Heaven. That is one thing I am so thankful for with my brother. He is suffering in his Cancer but he has eternal hope! He will die here, but will live on in eternity.
Thank you dear God, Thank you!
Tomorrow I am teaching a First Aid/CPR/AED class for about 30 people at work.
My friend that watched The Passion with me and I are going up to Sunnyside Cemetery Sunday morning at 6:30 to watch the sunrise service put on by the Methodist Church, then have breakfast, then on to our normal 10:00 service at our Church. It sounds weird having a service at the Cemetery but it is on a slope and looks East. Jesus died on a hill so it is actually quite appropriate. If we have an earthquake at that time I will crap my pants!
I will more than likely have a nap after that then on to my brother's house for a late afternoon Easter Dinner. My sister is going to Bellingham to visit with her son that day.
Monday I have off to catch up on some MUCH NEEDED REST!!
I pray you all will have a great Easter weekend!
God Bless.

Frog pond
Where are the frogs? They are oversleeping and not paying attention to the calendar!!
March 8th of every year I can stand on my deck and hear the frog concert from the pond 1/2 mile away. So far this year, no frogs. I drove by the pond last night and opened my car window and heard a few frogs doing a solo, but no chorus line yet. I guess it is too cold for them. It is still in the 30's at night. The trees are late to bloom also and the rose bushes are just starting to get leaves. I guess I better go prune them this weekend.
Tomorrow is Friday, my favorite day of the week!! YIPPEEEE!!

Easter in two weeks!!??
Wow, tonight we set our clocks ahead (why? who the heck knows?!!) Easter is in two weeks. And the Country is still in the middle of Wintery weather!! If there is snow, then the Easter eggs will be much easier to find.
I was driving home today from a luncheon and we saw a yard with clothes out drying on the clothes line. Now that is a rare sight to see. That brought on a conversation of laundry day. I remember using a wringer washer, wringing the clothes into the rinse tub, then wringing them into yet another rinse tub. Then out to the clothes line using wooden clothes pins to keep them on the line. If it started to rain we would run out and grab them really quick or else just leave them out on the line until it clears up and dries them.
After we brought the dry clothes in we would sprinkle the ones to iron using an old pop bottle with a special top on it for sprinkling. After sprinkling the clothes we would roll them up and put them in the basket to iron.
There were no steam irons then, or spray starch. Electric dryers came later as did the fancy washers. Maybe they were already invented, but we sure didn't know about them!! We had white scratchy sheets that were stiff from the lines. (Maybe that is why I spend ALOT of money for my special sheets now). I guess I have turned into a sheet snob. Well heck, I spend 1/3 of my life in bed, why not sleep in comfort and style?
Laundry day now is on Saturdays, and the biggest chore is putting them away. Not anything like we had forty years ago!! Thank the Lord!!
I am keeping up on my Fitness Center! I actually look forward to it now. I try to go at least three times a week, preferably four times a week. I spend at least an hour each time. I use the recumbent bike for 10 minutes then the treadmill for 15 minutes, then upstairs for the 7 different weight machines. I do about 30 revolutions each with 50 pounds. I feel my back building up strength and muscles. Whoopeeee!! I have only needed to use my pain pills once this week!!
This will be a long journey, but well worth it. I hope to keep a steady schedule of this. After the gym, then I really watch what I am eating, knowing how many calories I burned on the machines.
Hope every one has a great week ahead!!

Fashion Studded Fashion Dissertation TopicsJanuary 21st, 2010
Depending upon how you define the term fashion or perceive it, there can be plenty of topics for your fashion dissertation. What is important is to ensure that the fashion dissertation topics revolve around fashion issues or are based on the fashion. This seems difficult; but Dissertation-Service.co.uk is a trustworthy helper for you if you are a student needing the fashion topics. For more than 10 years, we have produced ample services for assignment, dissertation, coursework, thesis, essay, or any other academic papers. If you are new to us, obviously, we always welcome your query or inquiry. But, before asking or raising question, we advice you to first go through our webpage of FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). If you are already determined to avail of our services, be happy because we insure piece of mind through quality service and customer satisfaction.
• Broadly speaking, the fashion is not something confined to its common perception or image, i.e. fashion industry, glamour, and lifestyle. Beyond this, it also relates to the culture, history, art, literature, music, cinema, etc. Apparently, if you apply broader sense, you will have the fashion dissertation topics with larger scope as compared to a range with limited meaning of the fashion.
• However, when you concentrate only on the limited meaning, you will have the hottest and in-demand topics. Thinking and researching about changing trends will make you conceive many valuable topics. For instance, along with the fast life, new fashion comes in speedily and also vanishes with the same speed. Some styles, patterns, or designs are accepted by the masses, making them successful; while some other are rejected and prove to be flop. Thus, a key factor in fashion industry is to capture the niche of the public; if you can do so you are on the winning side.
• On the other hand, with the broader sense, you can formulate the dissertation topic like why the fashion is so important today for the human. The fashion has entered all walks and faiths of life, giving you many new fashion dissertation topics for your dissertations. There are not just fashionable clothes, shoes, or jewelry, but the fashionable ways of talking and gesturing too. Due to this, the fashion also affects the non-fashionable people in addition to the fashion-conscious people.
• One more instance is how bigger role the fashion plays in defining particular culture, or how much the fashion and culture influence each other. Easily, this topic becomes very clear when we see different TV channels or magazines belonging to different nations or cultures.
• Furthermore, you will have many topics originated from the area of history of the fashion. Similarly, the darker side of fashion or modeling industry is also a whole sphere enough for indicating you the meaningful topics. For instance, the celebrity status of successful models gets eroded as fast as it emerged.
To assess our qualitative aspects, access our dissertation samples after a quick and free downloading. Be it the fashion dissertation topics or any other matters, if you hesitate to contact Dissertation-Service.co.uk, you are missing something precious. We promise you a great service because it is foolish to guarantee 100% results without knowing your requirements.

Update: 2007-06-02 I don't care if you like Fred Basset. If you were thinking of commenting read this instead and then go away!
Update 2: 2012-05-20 I still can't figure out why people are still commenting on this post. I'm closing comments. Read why here.
Many of you already know that Fred Basset is close to, if not the dumbest comic strip of all time. I know for a fact that there are whole religions based on pondering the worthlessness that is "Fred Basset". For those that do not know, Fred Basset is a comic strip featuring a basset-hound that does ordinary dog things, and comments about them as though they are remarkably funny. They aren't.
Now there never was much debate about it being a good comic, but in case there were any remaining basset-hound loving comic-readers with the sense of humour of a toasted marshmallow that thought Fred Basset was an amusing slice of suburban doggy life - I present the following.
Reader Beware! Before you click, you must know your immortal soul will be in jeopardy as you read it. It will cry out as though stuck by the very pitchfork of Satan himself. Hold on, and pray to whatever gods you must. I take no responsibility for it's hideousness.
Dear reader. I apologise for that, but I feel it is my duty to inform the world that Fred Basset is the worst... comic... ever...
If you need something to ease the pain, I will provide you with an example of the greatest comic of all time:
