"Red Dawn" opens with a hard-fought high school football game, the day before Spokane, Wash. is interrupted by the thud of bombs. The young gridiron stars of the Wolverines race outside to see enemy aircraft flying overhead in formation, dropping paratroopers from the skies.
This is an alarming sight, but not to worry: The movie reassures us that an invasion by communist North Korea can be vanquished by the members of the team and their girlfriends, using mostly automatic weapons stolen from the North Koreans themselves.
If you're wondering how North Korea (population 25 million) can raise enough invaders to attack the Unites States (population 315 million), it may help to understand that the original screenplay for this remake named the invaders as Chinese. After principal photography was completed on this film three years ago and its studio (MGM) went belly-up, the enemy identity was changed to North Korea by reshooting several scenes, redubbing lots of dialogue and using digital adjustment to change the looks of flags, uniforms and insignia on trucks and tanks. Did this involve a change in ideology in Hollywood? Not really. A marketing genius figured out that China is one of the biggest markets for American movie exports, and North Korea generates unimpressive box-office bucks for Yank product, as the trade papers like to word it.
But back to football. The home-team Wolverines are headed by star player Matt Eckert (Josh Peck), whose older brother, Jed (Chris Hemsworth), is a Marine just returning from active duty. That's a nifty way to include someone with military training and experience on your side. Jed takes unofficial command as the Wolverines go into action against the invaders. Matt's girlfriend is Erica (Isabel Lucas), a cheerleader, and Toni (Adrianne Palicki) is a spunky hometown girl who develops a crush on Jed.
The nature of the invasion quickly becomes clear. The North Koreans take over the police department as their headquarters and co-opt the feckless mayor to help them issue pronouncements. His son, Daryl (Connor Cruise), of course joins the Wolverines, who also include Josh Hutcherson (very good as the son in "The Kids Are All Right"). No mention is made of other Spokane high school teams, so it must be just this one heroic team and its recruits who turn back the invasion.
The story's time frame is confusingly murky. How long does it take the North Koreans to land, import their heavy weapons and vehicles, enlist local traitors and start running things? What is their game plan? Is this a national invasion? How do they plan petrol deliveries? We're unclear about what's happening in the rest of the United States.
The velocity of events picks up considerably, however, in an endless and mindless combat sequence in which the Wolverines prove to be fierce combat troops and the North Koreans are reassuringly incompetent. The kids, even the girlfriends, are adept at handling heavy-duty automatic weapons, even machineguns mounted on top of captured vehicles (or pointing out the sun roofs of their cars).
They're also gifted strategists, instinctively occupying the high ground and spraying bullets down upon the hapless enemy forces who are often conveniently lined up in the street below. They achieve all of these things with remarkably little dialogue; mostly they just shout exhortations at one another and eavesdrop on speeches to the population by the enemy leader, Capt. Cho (Will Yun Lee).
I'm not sure I saw any Wolverines actually killed — at least no major characters. I'm sure I must have seen countless North Koreans mowed down, but given the movie's PG-13 rating, the carnage is far from graphic. A closing scene, rousingly patriotic, takes place back on the football field. I think I'm beginning to understand why the Chinese were not reckoned to be a prime market for this film.

Last night Lindsay Lohan tweeted out a surprise pregnancy announcement to all her fans and followers. Her tweet read:
"It's official. Pregnant."
Many are saying it was an April Fools' joke, though it was late, long after the day had ended on the East Coast. I am not so sure. She has a boyfriend, after all. She is dating musician Avi Snow. Still, it would be a mess if she were. She has all kinds of legal troubles and is going into rehab soon.
If it were true, though. Wow, this would be news. And maybe it wouldn't be all bad. Don't people often clean up their act when a baby is involved?
I know, I know. But don't break out the pitchforks just yet. Look at Snooki. She used to be a wild child and now she is a super mom. Maybe Lindsay could do that, too. Maybe this could be the real turnaround Lindsay needs.
On the other hand, it's probably a joke. That is much more her. It's a dumb joke, to be sure. I think everyone and their grandmother tried this one on Facebook five years ago. It's just not that funny anymore.
But here I am writing about it. Here we ALL are reading about it and writing about it, so clearly it worked. She has 5.7 million followers, so naturally this went viral in about 10.3 seconds once she tweeted it at 10:30 p.m. PST.
In the end, I think it's a joke. But if it weren't, it wouldn't be horrible news. It's possible, maybe, that she would get herself together, get clean, and be a good mom.
I don't care what anyone says about her. I still have hope that the little girl from Parent Trap is in there somewhere. Maybe motherhood would make her remember how innocent children are and how much they need to be protected. Maybe it would make her strive to be a better parent than she had. Maybe. One can hope, right?
Do you think this was a joke?
**Lohan revealed it was a joke with this tweet: "April Fools. Where's everyone's sense of humor?"

Are there any Food Allergy Treatments?
I have what has been diagnosed (via a skin prick test) with several minor food allergies (dairy products, mustard, tea, and beer). What treatment(s) are proven, and in evaluation (other than avoidance)?
Food allergy is often over- or incorrectly diagnosed by physicians. In general, food allergies are uncommon in adults (<1% of all allergic reactions) compared to children where the incidence is approximately 3-5%. Patients with food allergy typically experience allergic symptoms such as hives, soft tissue swelling (called angioedema), respiratory symptoms such as wheezing, occasional gastrointestinal symptoms and in severe circumstances dizziness with loss of consciousness due to vascular collapse. When all or many of these symptoms occur together this is called `anaphylaxis`. The diagnosis of food allergy is made by taking a thorough history for symptoms that occur within 15-30 minutes after eating a specific food such as a peanut(which is a legume), shrimp or nut. Delayed food reactions have been reported but are less common. Confirmation of a food allergy with allergy skin testing or by serologic RAST testing to detect specific allergic antibody to the food protein is usually performed but does not represent definitive confirmation of a food allergy if positive. Definitive diagnosis of a food allergy requires a double-blinded placebo controlled food challenge. The reason a challenge is necessary is because allergy skin testing is about 60% accurate for foods. Many false positive reactions occur with food skin testing. The foods you mention such as tea, mustard and beer are not common food allergens. Milk and dairy products are more common allergens but are seen usually in infants or young children and this allergy is usually outgrown after 2-3 years. The only acceptable treatment for food allergy to date is absolute avoidance. People with severe life threatening reactions to a food should carry adrenaline with them at all times especially when they go out to eat. I would recommend you review the type of reactions, if any, you are experiencing with these foods. It may be the reactions you are having are `adverse reactions` and not `allergic` reactions. For example, milk products can thicken secretions and in lactose intolerant individuals cause cramping and diarrhea. Beer can cause nasal congestion in some people and so on. These are not `allergic reactions`. Good Luck. ,

1. Start by cutting your rope into sections measuring approximately 2–3 feet each—you'll need to customize the rope lengths based upon the dimensions of your pool, but the key is to leave enough room for the rope to stretch from weight at the bottom of the pool, and then hold a hula hoop upright but still submerged under the water. 2. Tie one end of the rope to a weight and the other around a hula hoop, place it into the water and repeat until you have created an underwater obstacle course. 3. Just be sure to always watch your kids around water, and don't forget to remove the hoops and weights from the pool after you're done.

It could be that all of us trying to give assistance are missing the point entirely. What will help immensely is if you can go through the example below and point out any difficulties you see with it. If there is a problem with the example and it somehow leaves out some unseen added costs of rolling, you can point it out and correct the example. That way those of us who are currently confused can correct the error in our thinking. If you can't find an error and you decide that this specific example extends into a general principle, then you get to learn something valuable. Either way, everyone wins.
Hi Jake,
thanks for spending your time to help me clarifying this matter.
I don't find any error in your example and - as you can imagine - I'm a little puzzled.
But you are right, and I definitely need to follow Will's advice (and Sluggo and c.f. ones... ) to take paper and pencil and check this out on real prices data.
Thanks again, I have been reading your posts for quite a while and they are always worthy and informative.

First they went to a movie together. Two women—a 30-year-old and a 50-something. Total strangers. Totally platonic. And the older woman paid in advance, so there was no awkward exchange of cash.
They saw Avatar. Afterward, they went out for hamburgers. They talked about the movie, about the older woman's grandchildren. It was a nice time. A three-hour outing that netted the younger woman—we'll call her Sarah—a tidy $100. That's Sarah's rate on RentAFriend.com.
It was a matter of time, right? Friends for sale online. It's the sum of our modern equation: Community decline + Facebook + loneliness + 80-hour-work weeks + anxiety + the Great Recession + PayPal = RentAFriend.com.
There are 108,000 friends for rent on RentAFriend, site founder Scott Rosenbaum says. It costs nothing to list yourself for hire.
It costs $24.95 a month, however, to shop for friends. There are currently 1,200 paying members, Rosenbaum says. The site is five months old.
Sarah, who doesn't want her real name used in this story, signed up in January. Like most friends for rent, she has an online profile with photos, a description of herself and a list of activities she's available for, picked from a master list during registration that includes: Wine tasting, skydiving, hanging out, clubbing, video games, phone calls, visiting psychics, e-mail pen pal, balloon rides, working out, gambling and prom dates, among other diversions.
Hourly rates are negotiable. Payments can be made in advance over PayPal. And it's friendship only—it's not a dating site, or an escort site, Rosenbaum says. In fact, physical contact is prohibited during outings. Friends you pay, but can't touch.
The woman who hired Sarah has no family in Las Vegas, and lives alone. It was awkward at first, Sarah says, but also easy—just two women sitting in a dark theater.
A week or so later, she hired Sarah again. She wanted help picking presents for her grandchildren. Sarah works as a nanny six days a week, so she knows what kids like. She interprets unspoken urgencies—the eyes that say, I'm hungry, sick, sleepy, sad.
"I'm able to read people," she says, "and see what they need."
We're lonely. One in four people said they had no close friends in a 2004 survey. Everybody else said they had about two. And that's down one. In 1985, people reported having three close friends or confidants on average. So in 20 years, we collectively lost a friend, and gained a billion Facebook pals.
Somehow, Las Vegas doesn't make things easier. Former UNLV researcher Matt Wray found that merely being in Clark County doubles your suicide risk, for tourists and locals. Likewise, when people leave Las Vegas, their suicide risk drops. It's not just the person, in other words, it's also the place.
Wray has speculated the same things that defined Vegas during the past 25 years—wild growth, population booms, demographic shifts, transience—came too fast for community cohesion. Almost 1.2 million people moved to Clark County in about 15 years. How many felt rootless and alone, marching in the middle of that steamroller parade?
And how many of those people were contagious? Loneliness, research now suggests, contaminates social networks like a cold. A study published by University of Chicago psychologist John Cacioppo last year showed that loneliness spreads through three degrees of separation. So, if you have a lonely friend, you're 40-60 percent more likely to feel lonely. If you have a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend who's lonely, you're still as much as 24 percent more likely to feel lonely.
So maybe Vegas infected itself. The only reason everybody doesn't feel utterly alone, Cacioppo says, is that we push lonely people to the sidelines—an emotional quarantine. When social groups are mapped, the lonely people are clustered at the outskirts, alone together.
What's worse, the feeling multiplies itself. In his 2008 book on the subject—Loneliness—Cacioppo writes that loneliness causes people to withdraw, which makes it harder to maintain friends, which makes for more isolation. Soon enough, loneliness is a feedback loop.
We've evolved to be this way. Loneliness is an alarm signal, no different than hunger, Cacioppo says. The feeling exists as a reminder to join the group—there's safety in numbers, and the gene pool evaporates without people to fill it. So why is loneliness so punishing? Because rejoining a group is delicate. When shunned primates try to rush back into their packs, Cacioppo notes, they're often attacked or killed. The group doesn't want your infection.
So the onus is entirely in the lonely person—heal your own wounds, or wither.
Going online, by the way, isn't enough. Lonely people who look for answers in computer-mediated friendships, Cacioppo says, are like starving people eating celery: "It's better than nothing, but there's no long-term sustenance."
Same goes for renting friends, the psychologist says. With no trust, understanding or real affirmation of friendship, a rental friend is just a smoke screen—one that can be harmful if it keeps the lonely person from going out and making real, free friends.
Of course, renting a friend is a last resort. And Cacioppo allows that it may also be a first step—a sign that the lonely person is trying. A sign the lonely person is at least eating celery.
Rental friends are big in Japan. That's where RentAFriend founder Rosenbaum got the idea. In the past decade, the number of Japanese companies offering professional surrogates—boyfriends, wives, parents—has apparently doubled.
In Japan, however, the booming rental-friend market has been attributed to culture and economy: The jobless are hiring fake bosses to appear employed, divorced mothers are booking pseudo dads to attend their kids' baseball games, and in one well-publicized case, a man was hired to attend a wedding and deliver a passionate toast about the bride and groom.
We don't have this degree of high-stakes social pressures in America, so RentAFriend can't ride on the shame market. Instead, Rosenbaum emphasizes activity partners. People can use the site to hire workout buddies, he says, for less than it costs to have a professional trainer. People can hire someone for dance classes, or pay locals to show them around a new town.
And three college kids, independently, have used RentAFriend to hire fake parents. Adults they paid to come to school, furrow their brows and nod meaningfully while school administrators explained their children had been caught drinking on campus.
RentAFriend is Rosenbaum's full-time job now. He profits from the monthly fees, and has an affiliate program as well—get somebody to start a paying account on RentAFriend, and Rosenbaum will cut you a commission.
Rosenbaum understands, by the way, that you might see something sad in this. He gets it. But really, he says, it's not like that. Actually, the saddest RentAFriend story he heard of was actually kind of sweet: When a woman moved away from her mother's nursing home, she started renting a college girl to visit three times a week in her place.
The second person who hired Sarah was a guy from New Jersey, in town on vacation with a few hours to kill. She met him in a casino, gambled with him for an hour, and left. He paid her $50.
The third person who hired Sarah had just moved to town. He works at an upscale department store, and didn't have a date to bring to a work party. He hired Sarah, and they went together—she spent four hours with his colleagues, eating cheese and drinking wine. The guy told everyone she was a shopper he befriended. He paid her just over $100. She was home by 10 p.m.
Sarah likes being a rental friend. She's helping people who want company, she says, and don't know where to find it. And the two men who rented Sarah are easy to shrug off: One was fighting boredom, the other was maintaining appearances. Neither seemed particularly lonely. Neither really needed a friend.
It's the older woman sitting in the dark theater that stings, for the very same reason that rental friends seem creepy. It's taking who we are as a species, our nature to make and need friends, and monetizing it. Renting a dance partner is harmless. Renting a date is insecurity. Renting a friend is gutting desperation—and the drive to commercialize that ache might explain its origin.
"People confuse loneliness with being alone," Cacioppo says. "They want so badly for the pain to stop they embrace anything."

Please see:
For a ceramic plate that you preheat just one minute, stays hot for 30 minutes and that you can handle with your bare hands.
Based on blackbody radiation and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
Instructions on how to make them are posted.
I will answer any technical questions and welcome any opinions.
These plates really help enjoy good cooking. I use them everyday (Not for sale yet).

but... if the plate doesn't radiate said heat but stays warm for that long, what is the use? by being able to not burn your hands (you say it is handleable by bare hands) how is it going to warm your food?
and congrats on the patent! It's a grueling process.

Post subject: INSTAHOT HEAT RETENTIVE PLATE
The plate gets very hot in one minute because it contains a new composition of matterial (Also patent pending), only the rim remains cool, it captures lots of energy in just one minute and releases it at a controlled rate (Of course it releases heat).
actually the plate itself is a "microwaveable heat storage device", I could not explain here, please see:http://www.heatretentiveplates.com My family and I have been using and testing the prototypes for about 2 years.
We are negotiating with several compamies that are interested in bringing it to the market.
You will love it, after all cooking is about enjoying food and as far as I know this is the first plate in history that improves any recipe.
(After cooking your best recipe, what else you can do?... serve it on the best plate you can find).
Just this past weekend we took it to an international trade show in Chicago and the feed back was very positive. I'm sure you will hear more about my invention.

This seems particularly useful for dishes like prime rib where the meat needs to stay above a certain temperature for the juices to keep flowing (and not congeal) and for the fat to stay moist (and not harden when cooled to room temperature).
How thick are your plates? Are they dishwasher safe?

Good job jjrb230! Hope your patent goes well, and makes you loads of money.
Speaking of patents.... Did Michael Chu ever get that "recipe format" patent thing that he was going for?
Just curious.

Still waiting... My first patent (an method for gesture recognition using stereo cameras) took about 5 years from file to grant.

Post subject: INSTAHOT HEAT RETENTIVE PLATES DEADLINE
Yes, the plate is excellent for steak (It is thicker than normal cold plates). Everything started because I hate cold tortillas and developed a tortilla warmer, but then I realized that I could develop a plate and patent it since plates are used by everybody of all cultures, ages, gender, etc. (WORLDWIDE MARKET)
Now I made also prototypes for a coffee mug that keeps your coffee hot without overheating it, gravy boats can be made, etc. I hope they are ready for this "Thanks Giving".
several companies are interested in manufacturing the products, including companies from overseas.
Companies are doing: Market studies, prototyping, etc.(I continue doing research also).
Nobody has written a check yet and the deadline for entering national phase of the Patent Cooperation Treaty is Sep 18 2007 or the world wide market will be lost there is still a chance for a company with vision to bid
These plates will eventually replace traditional cold plates and will sell by word of mouth (I am betting on this).
Forgive me, I do not want to be pompous, but this is a breakthrough and even a milestone in the history of the ceramic plate. I believe it really.
Yes, they are dishwasher safe

Why Having Standards And Waiting To Be Saved By A Man Aren't The Same Thing
"College-educated, six pack abs, and works in a career that requires a collared shirt and tie." Whether it's after a series of hell dates, another Valentine's Day spent resenting romance and any warm-blooded mammal with pheromones, or allowing the vapors of a steamy shirtless sex scene with Michael Ealy video cloud your head, all women will at some point find themselves either mentally or physically jotting down a list of things they want in a man, especially when repeatedly being confronted with what you don't want.
As broad or specific as that list may be, I think it's healthy to know what you are seeking in a man. Knowing what you want may not necessarily be the key to finding your very own Dr. Morehouse Man pushing a Mercedes Benz, but it will at least get you in the neighborhood. Having standards is important because as the wise Malcolm X once said, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Of course that saying had nothing to do with dating, but the adage works.
Somewhere along the way though, some women convinced themselves that having standards meant waiting for the first intelligent, attractive and financially stable man to come along and sweep them off of their Steve Maddens and carry them straight to a life spent between shopping malls and spas. It started to make less and less of a difference if that man was considerate, kind or respectful. Unfortunately, these same women thought it somehow made them better than women holding down the guy working part-time security to pay their child support, because at least they had "standards."
The conflict I found with many women as of late is that they are confusing having standards with wanting to be saved. Most of us want a man to match our fly. Having someone on or at least close to your level financially, mentally and emotionally won't make a relationship perfect, but damn if it doesn't make it a little easier. There are less arguments about who's paying for what, less pettiness and immaturity and less room for resentment and competition. Ideally, we would like to think love solves all these problems, but most women over the age of 21 know that real relationships are about more than those magical butterflies you get whenever he calls you, "Bae" (which I hate by the way, but ironically still use).
But let's be real, are the standards you have more about wanting a man who's your equal, or wanting someone who will do all the work for your life that you're not willing to? How many times have I witnessed a woman making some contradictory statement like, "I need a man who can buy me nice things and afford to be able to take us to expensive restaurants," when meanwhile they are living check to check and completely content with a minimum wage salary? Trust and believe that if what you really want is to be saved, there's no shortage of caped crusaders waiting to fly in and upgrade you, but be honest about it. So often, women are walking around talking about how "classy" they are, mistaking the standards they think they have with what is really some kind of "Things I'm Not Willing to Do In My Own Life" wish list.
I'm not throwing shade at the housewives or the stay-at-home moms who are in marriages or relationships where they have come to a mutual agreement with their partner about the roles they both play. For example, a few months ago, when rapper Drake made a haphazard comment that Vanessa Bryant shouldn't be entitled to a large divorce settlement because she "wasn't with Kobe shooting in the gym," she promptly responded, "I don't need to be in the gym. I'm raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life." And honestly, if that's okay with Kobe, it's okay with me. What I'm referring to are the thirsty Joe Camels parading their unjustified standards right through all of the good men that were, are one, digit short of the salary requirements of the relationship. Maybe he didn't attend an Ivy League University, but does he make you laugh, stick up for you when it comes to his momma, work hard every day and know that being adventurous on a date is about more than choosing the Netflix movie with subtitles? Then consider yourself blessed.
I want to repeat that I'm not suggesting women settle for any less than what they want, but if you are constantly complaining about being lonely due to the lack of good men, it might just be that you're lacking good judgment. That doesn't mean date a guy whose biggest problem is getting Hot Cheetoes' dust from in between his Xbox controller buttons, but if no man is meeting your standards, said standards might be unrealistic. Stop lying to yourself that you're intimidating or that there are just no decent men in your city, because the truth could be that you're actually just difficult and pretentious, even worse if you can't even bring the things you claim you want to the table yourself. Save the capes for the comics. If a superhero is what you want then it's time to admit that you're really looking to be saved, not seduced. Meanwhile, for those of us who want a "real" man, it's time to get realistic and understand that checklists are for The Fresh Grocer, not your love life.

The Rome Film Festival Business Street mart wrapped Sunday, trumpeting its future expansion into the Eternal City's Maxxi art museum and announcing winners of its New Cinema Network co-production component, as some deals surfaced.
Next year Rome's informal mart will use the city's new contempo art center, designed by architect Zaha Hadid, for screenings, meetings and confabs, alongside its current Via Veneto locations.
The new digs are 500 yards from the fest's main hub, the Renzo Piano-designed Auditorium, in Rome's Flaminio neighborhood.
Riccardo Tozzi, prexy of Italy's motion picture org., Anica, hailed the move as "great news that will make the festival and the market shift gears," during a presser at the Maxxi attended by Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno.
This year's five-day, largely Euro-centric mart was attended by 280 buyers and 93 sales companies with 116 titles unspooling, 32 of which were market premieres.
First deals to trickle through are buzzed black comedy "Hotel Lux," by Leander Haussmann, sold by Bavaria Film to Italy's Archibald, and "Noordzee Texas," by Belgium's Bavo Defurne, picked up by Italo specialty label Atlantide from Wavelength Pictures.
"Off Frame," a docu by Mohanad Yaqubi about the Palestinian Film Unit, which produced pics championing the Palestinian cause in the 1970s, took the Eurimages Co-production Development Award, worth €30,000 ($41,000).
The Network's Focus Europe Award went to "Human Song" by Belgian helmers Benedicte Lienard and Mary Jimenez. Lienard's well-received first work, "A Piece of Sky," unspooled in Un Certain Regard at Cannes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Divide 2 tablespoons of the butter between 4 (6-ounce) ramekins. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside. Evenly divide the brown sugar between the ramekins; sprinkling it into the bottoms of the dishes. Cut each peach into 12 to 14 pieces. Lay the peaches on top of the sugar; evenly dividing them between the dishes and sprinkle with the ginger. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until combine. Pour the batter over the peaches; dividing the mixture evenly between the dishes. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove from the oven to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each dish and turn upside down onto a serving plate. Repeat with each cake. Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Back sometime ago, I asked a similar question and Dave W provided an answer which was to move ALDL wire from Pin E to Pin M. I recently did this by cutting the wire and attaching male and female connectors. The net effect has been "no go". I have access to a SnapOn MODIS scanner and the resulting message is unable to connect/communicate. I am not able to read anything which signifies no connection.
I am running a self-made ECM-to-PCM adapter between my stock harness and an 8625 PCM. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Yasmin Codron
December 23, 2013
When it comes to social networking, each of the major channels—Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn—has its benefits and drawbacks for job seekers. While each can be an effective method for connecting with people and providing a sense of your skills and personality for potential employers, the downsides include things like privacy concerns and, crucially, the lack of space to go beyond basic information about yourself and your areas of interest and expertise.
Blogging is one of the best methods for overcoming those problems, allowing you the time and space to establish your credentials as someone who is knowledgeable about their field, gain a following, and even gain viral attention.
Below, blogger Yasmin Codron explains 5 ways to leverage your personal blog in the job hunt.
1. It's all about YOU
Think of your blog as your very own online portfolio. Are you a creative writer and like to write short novels? Do you like to write reviews on plays or movies you've seen? Is there something in the news that you want to share your opinions on? Or have you just come back from a holiday and you want to share your travel experiences with everyone? Upload it on to your blog and share with the world! Blogging is a fantastic way to showcase your talents and interests, and this can help employers paint a picture of what you're really like and enforce the skills that are on your CV.
TIP: Keep some of your blog posts related to your career interests. For example, if you're interested in social media marketing, write a blog post on current industry news and trends.
2. Positive online reputation
One of the first things recruiters do when they receive your CV is search for you online. They will want to get a sense of who you are, and your online activity can sometimes be a good determiner of this (that means careful with what pictures you're posting on Facebook…). Having a blog will show employers how you carry yourself both professionally and personally.
3. Expand your network
It's one thing being able to write well, but it's another ensuring your blog is interesting to read and attracts followers. Having a dedicated readership shows employers you know how to write well, but that you're also able to create and maintain connections. This is an extremely valuable skill for the work place, especially if you're interesting in working in fields like marketing, recruitment or PR.
4. Stand out!
Think of the hundreds of applications employers have to sift through day in and day out—a pretty tiresome and monotonous job. A blog can help to show your skills AND personality, which employers like to see. This helps you to stand out, giving a picture of you as a real person, not just another resume!
5. Work experience
Work experience is crucial for your resume, but can be hard to get, leaving you with blank spaces on your applications, and little concrete experience to talk about in interviews. However, depending how you utilise it, blogging can provide a form of work experience, and can easily provide you with the following (resume-ready) set of skills:
Writing – the more you write, the better your writing skills will become. Employers look for candidates who can write well and there is no better way than building on this skill by practice on your blog.
Networking – once you've got the hang of blogging and feel you are ready for a bit of a challenge, offer some guest content to bloggers that you like. This will not only build your online exposure, but can secure you some great contacts to expand your network with.
Social media marketing – share your pieces on social media and encourage friends and family to as well. Follow bloggers on twitter and Facebook, like/comment/share their blog posts to build rapport with them, but also become accustomed to the world of social media marketing. If this goes well, you may even end up with some success stories—with numbers for proof—to share at your next interview.
So get blogging and good luck!

What is an IPS display? IPS stands for In-Plane Switching. It's commonly found in high-end monitors -- gaining mainstream notoriety in Apple's displays -- and has also found its way into tablets. The iPad uses IPS displays. ASUS has an IPS display in its Transformer Prime tablet. And Samsung has its own flavor of IPS in the Galaxy Tab 10.1, which is it calls Super PLS (Plane-Line Switching).
The long and short of it is that you get better color representation -- that is, whites are white, blacks and back, reds are red, etc. -- and better viewing angles. That's perhaps less of an issue with tablets than larger displays, because you're more likely to be using it directly in front of your face. But wider viewing angles are always better than not. (And we've seen some pretty horrid tablet displays in our day.)
There's not a lot of arguing against that, technically speaking, an IPS display is just "better" than a non-IPS display. If you have the option between an IPS or non-IPS display, we'd go with the former.

i agree man it really is those little things
Keep that philly in your barn ( marry her) if she stays she stays , if she goes she goes, but get a prenup if you are smart.Take it from an older and wiser muff hunter--sometimes the hunter is the hunted...
hahaha lol you guys are funny...
I meant Hefner is 85 years old and he is dating 21 year old broads. lol
You're fine. I was 31 when I met my fiancee and she was 21. We've been together for over ten years now, and we're going to spend the rest of our lives with each other. If two people love each other, ANY age difference is acceptable.
Don't worry about the people that criticize. They are the ones that should look closely at themselves in the mirror for judging two people in love. They are the ones that should be ridiculed.
Two words...........
And BTW, where the hell have you been ?

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This view was taken from Main Street in South Deerfield, Massachusetts, looking southward toward the main buildings of the village. To the right is the double balcony of the Lathrop Hotel. On the corner is the angular front of the post office, grocery, and electrical supply building. Directly ahead are the town's tailor, barber, and gentleman's clothing store. And lying before us is the town's "common," a triangular patch of land that had been beautified by the planting of a number of tall elm trees. These were part of a massive tree planting effort throughout the northeast United States at the close of the nineteenth century. Elm trees were particularly prized due to their rapid growth and tall, graceful canopy. But Dutch Elm disease, first identified in the mid-1800s, spread throughout the northeast and devastated millions of American elms. Between 1870 and 1920, nearly all the elms planted by civic-minded people in town centers were felled by the disease.

Kurdish Worker Party
The Kurdish Worker Party, also known as the PKK, is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Europe. This Kurdish group has been responsible for violent campaigns to push for an independent Kurdish state in Turkey. Since 1978, more then 37,000 people have been killed in the clash between the Kurdish rebels and the Turkish security forces, with both sides committing significant human rights abuses. Estimates for Turkish military deaths throughout the conflict reach nearly 7,000 soldiers with around 10,000 more suffering permanent injuries.
Fearing a split in their country the Turkish government placed significant restrictions on the rights of the Kurdish people[1], the PKK tries to use these restrictions to justify its rebellion against the government. In 1999, a unilateral truce was declared by the rebels and the Turkish government began to ease restrictions on the Kurds, this truce did not last however, when in 2004 the terrorist group claimed that the Turkish government had not done enough to meet their demands[2].
In 1999, the group's leader, Abdullah Ocalan, was captured and sentenced to death. Today, rather then seeking to create a separate Kurdish state, PKK leaders say that their goal now is to create a solution for the Kurdish identity within Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Estimates of terrorist guerrilla's in the PKK range from ten to fifteen thousand[3].Syria, Iran and Iraq, have provided external aid to the separatist.[4]
PKK Abuses
The PKK has been known for its ruthless attacks against civilians, the United States Department of State said, "PKK terrorists murdered noncombatants, targeting village officials, teachers, and other perceived representatives of the State and committed random murders in their effort to intimidate the populace. The PKK brutally murdered seven primary school teachers in predominantly Kurdish areas and often targeted civilians in an effort to prevent them from collaborating with security forces or to coerce them into assisting the insurgents."[5] Most of the rebel attacks aim at creating panic inside the population and government. Turkish officials fear that if the PKK achieves its goals, a radical Islamic government could come to power inside the country[6].
Government Abuses
Many of the PKK's abuses against civilians have been overshadowed by abuses carried out by Turkish government forces. Because the conflict is similar to a civil war, many of the operations by Turkish security forces have been in heavily populated areas, this has led to significant amount of civilian casualties. Estimates of civilians misplaced from military operations stand above 380,000. The Turkish government stated that losses to civilians would be reimbursed, despite this promise; many still remain homeless without reimbursement. Human rights organizations, such as Human Rights Watch, have also highlighted the government's use of torture and extrajudicial killing during the thirteen-year-long conflict[7].
Effect on the Kurdish Population
As the Turkish fight against the PKK has progressed so has the conflict over the rights of Kurds living inside of Turkey and elsewhere. Many Kurdish people blame the government for placing heavy restrictions on the whole Kurdish populations for the abuses carried out by a small fraction of it, through the PKK. In an effort to "retain their nationality", the government has restricted the teaching of the Kurdish language and the printing of symbols which are non-Turkish. The PKK has lost considerable support in the Kurdish population, to which it claimed as trying to "liberate." Part of the decrease in support for the terrorist group has perhaps been due to its increasing use of force in its attempt to coerce civilians into the terrorist organization to increase their forces, the State Department wrote, "[the] PKK routinely kidnaps young men or threatens their families as part of its recruiting effort."[8]
Iraq, Turkey Border Dispute
In the Turkish government's efforts to stamp out the terrorist group, they have continually fought near and across the Iraq border, where the PKK has operated and trained their forces. Turkey and the United States led an effort to push PKK forces out of northern Iraq; however, this effort has had few visible effects. [9] The increase in terrorist buildup in the region has led the Turkish government to increase military forces along the Turkey/ Iraq border. This buildup of over 200,000 troops has brought tensions between Turkey and the United States, which believes Turkish intervention could distract the stabilization mission and possibly lead to the Turkish military intervention in other areas. [10]Despite the United States warnings, high ranking Turkish officials, including Turkey's defense minister, have stated their willingness to operate across the border. [11]

Today's edition of Product Review Friday brings us back to The Wood Wang Workshop for our third and final review in this series. But wait, you didn't miss the first two reviews we posted a couple of weeks ago, did you? Well not to worry if you did because all our reviews are archived on DrDickSexToyReviews.com. All ya gotta do is use the search function in the header, type in The Wood Wang Workshop and PRESTO!
When you visit The Wood Wang Workshop be sure to take a look at their History Page. Here's a little taste of what you will find:
…since time began, human beings have sought new and interesting ways to titillate themselves. It's inherent of our species to take pleasure from sexual arousal. We are in fact one of the few mammalian species to use sex for recreation rather than just for reproduction.
It's unknown who was responsible for the invention of the dildo as we know it today but historians believe it originated in Asia. Dildos have been discovered in China dating from 12,000 years ago!
It seems we're not fussy about the materials use to make them either. Stone, bronze, jade, ivory, wood, leather and even dried camel dung have been used to fashion sex toys through the ages.
Ancient Arabians and Polynesians were known to use unripened bananas for the same purpose.
I love fun sex facts, don't you?
Let's check in with the Dr Dick Review Crew members — Joy & Dixie, to see what they think of today pleasure product.
Roxy — £35.00
Joy: "Ever since Dixie and I got our first wooden dildo to review way back in December of 2008 we have been wood fanatics. I said in that earlier review, and it bears repeating today, nothing compares to owing a wooden dildo and having it inside you."
Dixie: "I couldn't agree with you more, Joy. And ya know what is great about wood? You can diddle yourself crazy and know that all the time you are doing so you are being as GREEN as green can be. I can't think of a single sex toy material that has a smaller environmental footprint than wood.
Joy: "So true! When I hold Roxy in my hand I know that besides holding a beautiful objet d'art I have something completely natural and organic that will be around long after I am gone. I don't know why exactly, but knowing that adds to the pleasure."
Dixie: Hey, maybe some archeologist, a couple thousand years from now, will find our Roxy and marvel at our sex life."
Joy: "Roxy is simply beautiful. Ours is made of exotic Zebrano wood, which gives it its very distinctive striped appearance. It is a whopping 11.5" long and it's a double header; you can use both ends of her."
Dixie: "One end has a tulip shaped head, perfect for G-spot (or P-spot) stimulation. The other end features five exceptionally stimulating bulbs and ridges. You can enjoy deep penetration using either end."
Joy: "Yeah, I love my dildos ridged! I love the rippling sensation. And regardless what end you use internally, the other end makes an excellent easy-grip handle, even with lubed up fingers. Speaking of which, you can use whatever kind of lube you prefer with Roxy, she's that versatile."
Dixie: "Roxy is, of course nonporous, so whatever lube you use, you'll only need a few drops. And because it is nonporous, caring for her is blissfully simple. Wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. You can sanitize her by wiping her down with a lint-free towel moistened with peroxide, rubbing alcohol or a 10% bleach solution too."
Joy: "When you visit The Wood Wang Workshop website (try to say that 5 times fast) you will find all their amazing products arranged by kind — dildos, buttplugs, whips and paddles, etc. To find Roxy, you go to the dildo page and scroll down. While you are scrolling your eyes will pop and your mouth will water at the marvelous array of other insertables."
Dixie: "That's right; and not only do they have a stunning collection of designs, each one comes in your choice of 10 beautiful woods.
Joy: "Listen, you just can't beat that with a stick. Pun intended!"

This league is a large roto 13x13 league with around 20 teams. Most of the league is in other fantasy leagues I run as well and are active and willing to trade. Entry fee $40 with free trades and in season pickups. There will be small weekly winnings $2 first, $1 second and during 5 weeks in late August/early September there will be weekly winnings of $5 first, $3 second, $1 third. The rest of the winnings will be paid to the top third of the teams in the league.
There will be a live online draft around March 18.
Roster sizes will be decided closer to draft. There will be an equal number of hitters and pitchers with around 9-11 hitters and 9-11 pitchers depending on the number of teams in the league.
Scoring format will be 13x13 roto with scoring categories of 13x13 roto with the following hitting categories. BA (x2), R, RBI, RBI+R, HR, SB, BP, OBP, SLG, OPS, AB/Ground Double Play, AB/K, Fielding%.
Pitching Categories: ERA (x2), WHIP, BAA, K/BB ratio, K, W, W%, QS, CG, SO, Save, Save+Holds, Save and Hold %.
You will be allowed between 0-3 keepers each year. You can keep any player, but you will lose a draft pick 2 rounds higher in the following years draft. Any player kept will be worth at least a 11th round draft pick, so if you choose to keep somebody you drafted in round 13 or later or a waiver pick up, you will lose a 11th round pick the following year. Each following year, if you choose to keep the same player, you lose a draft pick 2 rounds higher. Any player drafted in the first 2 rounds cannot be kept any year.
For example, your 4th round pick the first year can be kept the second year in place of a 2nd round pick. The following year, that player cannot be kept again since he cannot move up 2 rounds again.
You will also be allowed to the following years draft picks for other draft picks or players. If you make any trade that involves losing a draft pick, you must pay next year's entry fee at the time of the trade.
Currently I have 17 teams for the league and would like to get up to 20. Relpy here or e-mail me at email@example.com if you want to play

More than a week after an autistic teen who can't speak vanished from his Queens school, an NYPD official said police are "optimistic" about finding him.
"We're still pretty optimistic and hopeful that we will find Avonte and deliver him back home to his family," Phillip Banks, the NYPD's chief of detectives, said at a press conference Saturday.
Avonte Oquendo was last seen skipping away from his school on Oct. 4.
Banks said more than 80 tips about the boy have come in but none of the leads have led to sightings of the boy.
"We've done an extensive search; that search entails aviation units using the best technology we possess," said Banks, adding that the NYPD's harbor and SCUBA units were also searching for Avonte.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Friday that 50 police officers each day were working on the search for Avonte, which now extends to Long Island and New Jersey.
Police have concentrated much of the search in subway and transit facilities because of the boy's fascination with trains. Officials said Friday that every single subway line had been searched. Announcements could be heard in subway stations notifying riders to be on the lookout for the missing child who is unable to speak.
Avonte's father, Daniel Oquendo, spent the entire night Thursday searching for his son. He said in an interview about 4 a.m. Friday that he hadn't slept more than about 12 hours since his son went missing.
"We can't even sleep," he said. "It's hard to sleep knowing your child is out there and he could be cold and hungry and he can't even communicate."

|Director of Basketball Operations
Allen's duties include overseeing and organizing all UCSB men's team and individual basketball camps, community outreach, academic concerns and tutoring, and the program's day-to-day administrative duties.
Allen started at point guard in each of Bob Williams' first two seasons at UCSB, 1998-99 and 1999-2000. In those two seasons, Allen started 54 of 56 games and earned a reputation as a hard-nosed defender and one of the team's fiercest competitors. As a junior, he averaged 6.7 points, 4.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game. His total of 68 steals in 1998-99 ranks second on the school's all-time single-season list. In a win over UC Irvine in 1999, Allen tied the Gaucho record for steals in a game with eight. In his senior campaign, he averaged 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game. His two-year total of 114 steals ranks sixth on UCSB's all-time list, but it is the highest total ever by a two-year player.
During the 2000-01 season, Allen acted as a manager for the Gauchos as he completed his BA in sociology.
Following his graduation, he spent one year working with another former Gaucho guard, Carrick DeHart, at the Page Youth Center in Santa Barbara. Immediately prior to returning to his alma mater, Allen had a two-year stint as an assistant coach at Bakersfield College.
"We are pleased to bring back one of our own," Williams said at the time of Allen's hiring. "He brought so much to us when we took over the program in 1998 and I'm sure that his fire and determination will be great assets to our staff.
A native of New Orleans, Allen attended John F. Kennedy High School in the Crescent City. He played two seasons at Porterville College before arriving at UCSB in 1998. He is single and resides in Santa Barbara.
Education: UC Santa Barbara B.A. in Sociology, 2001
Playing Experience: UC Santa Barbara (1998-2000) Porterville College (1996-98)
Coaching Experience: Bakersfield College (2002-04)

The United States Sports Academy announces that the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Academy, Dr. Stephen Butler, and the former Chair of Sport Coaching at the Academy, Dr. James E. Thoma, will travel to Shanghai, China to teach in conjunction with the Shanghai Administration of Sports (SAS).
Dr. Butler will teach a Sport Coaching Methodology course, while Dr. Thoma will teach a Sport Administration for Coaches course on May 19-23 and May 26-30. These courses comprise the first two sections of the seven-part series to be hosted by the (SAS) for the Academy's International Certification in Sports Coaching (ICSC) program this year.
Dr. Butler holds a Doctorate degree in Administration of Curriculum and Instruction from Auburn University; a Master's degree in Educational Administration from Chapman University; and a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Florida Atlantic University.
He has over 20 years of experience in higher education where he has developed curriculum, taught at both the graduate and undergraduate level, and served as an administrator. In addition, Dr. Butler served nearly 24 years in the United States Air Force as a B-52 navigator and military educator. His final Air Force assignment was as the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, the world's largest foreign language school.
Dr. Butler has played and coached team sports at all levels. He is also an avid runner who has competed in 30 marathons, including the Boston Marathon twice. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Big Sur International Marathon for the past 13 years.

Dr. Thoma holds both a Ph.D. in Sport Science and a M.A. in Sport Management from The Ohio State University. He earned a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from Grove City College.

In addition, his previous work as the Track and Field/USA National Teams Coordinator and his work with the Sports Academy have provided him with unique perspectives on the field.

According to EPA, the money is part of $197 million appropriated to address leaking underground petroleum storage tanks. The funds will be used for assessment and cleanup oversight or directly paying for assessment and cleanup of leaks from federally regulated tanks where the responsible party is unknown, unwilling or unable to finance, or the cleanup is an emergency response.
The awards and the state spending coordinating agencies are:
"The Recovery Act is accelerating the cleanup of many abandoned leaking underground storage tank sites that pose a threat to our limited groundwater resources," said Laura Yoshii, acting regional administrator for the U.S. EPA's Pacific Southwest region. "These cleanups will protect our valuable groundwater supplies, while creating green jobs that will improve our economy."

Author Notes: Just in time for Mother's Day brunch, here is a twist on the traditional Eggs Benedict. It was fun to explore the farmer's market for early spring vegetables. I've never cooked with fiddlehead ferns before so decided to give them a try and combined them with delicious morel mushrooms. Hollandaise sauce is always an elegant addition to eggs, fish and vegetables and mine is inspired by a Jane Grigson recipe. I've decreased the butter and increased the lemon juice. —BlueKaleRoad
Serves: 2
2 1/2
ounces morel mushrooms
tablespoon unsalted butter
ounces fiddlehead ferns
tablespoon olive oil
tablespoons white wine vinegar
tablespoons water
egg yolks
ounces unsalted butter
lemon, juiced
teaspoon white vinegar
large eggs
salt to taste
In This Recipe
- Soak morel mushrooms in a bowl of cold water and swish around to clean. Drain and quarter lengthwise (or if large, slice in half, too). Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in small saute pan and add mushroom. Saute on medium heat until soft (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
- Rinse fiddlehead ferns and trim the dark ends of them. Blanche in salted water for 2 minutes and drain. Heat olive oil in saute pan (can use the same one from the mushrooms) and saute fiddleheads on medium heat for about 6 minutes, until soft but slightly crunchy. Salt to taste and set aside.
- In a 2 quart sauce pan, bring the 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water to a boil. Let simmer until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Reduce heat to low and add the 3 egg yolks. Stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. With the heat on low, add a tablespoon of the unsalted butter and stir until melted and blended in. Keep adding butter a tablespoon at a time and blending it in. When all butter is added, stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- In a medium sauce pan, bring an inch of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar. Crack each egg into a ramekin and slide it into the water. Reduce heat to medium and poach eggs for about 3 minutes (depending upon how runny you like your yolks). Gently nudge each egg after a minute to make sure they aren't sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Arrange the fiddlehead ferns between 2 warm plates. Gently place 2 poached eggs on top of each bed of ferns. Divide the morel mushrooms on top of the eggs and drizzle hollandaise on top (you will have extra sauce to dip your fiddleheads in). Add a few grinds of fresh pepper and enjoy!
