Colorado vacation day 1 - July 10
[We'll slide into recounting the whole vacation trip slowly, so as not to build the excitement levels (or envy) too fast. We'll just let my jotted notes out of my trip journal start us off. I have only edited them by adding punctuation or paragraph marks where needed.]
Left JC @ 5:00 AM (CDT). Arrived at Mike's @ 5:00 PM (MDT). Drove through heavy (frightening) rain & lightning in MO from Boonville to about Oak Grove - other than that the drive was uneventful.
Welcome to Colorful Colorado!
Mike & Ginger live way up in the mountains above Golden!
Mike & Ginger's house
Looking toward Gray's & Torrey's Peaks from la Casa Slinkard
Truck is packed & ready - we are planning to leave @ 4:30 AM.
My truck - Pike's Peak is in the far distance if you know where to look and what you're looking for
Stay tuned for more to come!

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The group that oversees film permits for Los Angeles shoots reported an overall drop in film and television production this year.
According to FilmL.A., on-location shooting dropped nearly 4 percent between July and September compared to the same time in 2011.
Permit production days for TV dramas decreased 18.5 percent and fell 20.5 percent for reality TV.
While the television category was off 1.4 percent, TV sitcom production jumped 47.6 percent.
“The television landscape is changing in Los Angeles, and economically, the sector has taken a turn for the worse,” said FilmL.A. President Paul Audley. “Many of the new TV projects we’re coordinating permits for have low spending and employment impacts.”
Feature film production also dropped 21.1 percent.

Massive yet beautiful space with delicious food make this place great for a company dinner or a "parents in town" hot spot.
This massive lavish space can be intimidating. You wonder if the food will be good or mediocre. Don't let the decor fool you the food is good and dessert even better. If it is good enough for the POTUS it is good enough for me.!

suffice?
2. How did Beatport come to account for this much of the pie?
3. Is that really a good thing?
I may go into more detail on this later, but for now a few thoughts…
Distributors are a bit of a relic from the days of having to physically get your records into hundreds of stores around the globe. They are useful online if you want to make sure your track is in all the online stores, but if you only sell a handful of copies from those stores is it worth the 10-15% cut they take? They now also serve a purpose to the stores with the ever increasing number of labels – in the case of Beatport many smaller labels are grouped together so that Beatport just deals with the distributor rather than the individual label (the labels have no designated contact at Beatport).
I think Beatport had two things going for it: design and exclusivity. Of all the music sites it is by far the best designed user interface, and for this reason i found myself returning there even though tracks cost more. The second, and most important, point is exclusivity deals. Busy DJs want to go record shopping once a week, not several times at several locations, this is why so few sales go direct through label’s websites. Once key labels gave Beatport exclusivity that meant DJs would head there by default so that they could get all the latest tracks in one place. This factor seems to even trump audio player seen as Beatport’s 2min sample is the most basic these days. I actually think they’ve consciously done that - how many times have you listened to a track and it cuts just before the drop? That leaves the listener at peak anticipation and more likely to hit the buy button.
Finally, is Beatport’s pie-hogging a good thing? I dont think so. Dont get me wrong, I like Beatport, but I dont like monopolies. And as online record stores crumble around us there is something disconcerting about virtually all sales going through one store. Beatport’s margins are pretty high already meaning less money for the label and for the artist (artists generally see about 20p of each track sold unless you’re selling large volumes and can negotiate). I think Beatport is still working on an old model based on the physical record store. I think there is a better way of getting music to the DJs, putting the quality labels in the foreground and rewarding the artists. I’m still developing the idea, but I think it will be soon time for a change.
Ok, time to stop talking and start listening. Here is a gorgeous mix of classic house and nu-disco sounds by the man who brought us Coma Cat… Tensnake. Enjoy it. 43m25s particularly tickles my loins, what a groove!

Falling.
Falling in Reverse have built a strong following in the brief time they have been a band. And tonight they will be introduced to a whole new wave of potential fans when they open for Guns N’ Roses. “I’m losing my mind. I don’t know. I’m so nervous right now. I’m like shaking,” vocalist Ronnie Radke admits to KROQ. “I’ve played a lot of shows in front of a lot of people, but this is probably the most awesome thing that’s ever happened to me, pretty much, when it comes to playing shows.”
Radke’s mixed emotions aren’t just based on the fact that he’ll essentially be playing to another band’s huge audience — it’s also a big deal for him on a personal level. “My dad played ‘Appetite for Destruction’ on loop when I was a kid. That’s all I heard. “They were the kings of ’80s rock ‘n’ roll and Sunset Strip bands. Classics,” exclaims Radke. “It’s Axl. It’s Axl Rose. It’s Axl Rose, man. I’m ecstatic. That’s all I can say. I’m very happy right now.”
Despite his excitement, Radke is also aware that sometimes opening for a band with a large following can backfire. “I played a radio show with a band called Chevelle and the crowd hated us … Maybe some of our fans are there? I’m going into this blind. I have no idea. I’m just completely baffled right now.”
Radke and FIR guitarist Jacky Vincent recently stopped by Loudwire’s offices. Check back soon for our full interview, as well as an exclusive performance by Vincent.

We’re reading through my old Narnia books with the girls. Liv’s been through many of them once before. Elise hasn’t heard them yet, and it seems that she isn’t really ready yet. She got to the end of the book and still thought that Uncle Andrew was a good guy.
Olivia, on the other hand, was hanging on every detail. She bounded out of her bed with excitement when Strawberry became Fledge and grew wings. She hid under her covers when the Witch snuck by them in the mountain range. And she was finally able to sleep soundly when the book came to an end and all the loose ends were properly tied.
As always it was a joy to read these books as an adult. It seems that each time I go through them they strike a new chord with me. This time I felt for the little Digory as he worried for his mother. I was reminded of how real troubles are for our kids. They suffer their worries, and know that there is nothing they can do as they are just powerless little children.
I think Liv is bursting at the seams to start The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. She’ll remember a lot from the last time. But I can’t wait to see what details grab her this trip through.

Stop, time
Posted by lpearle on 8 February 2010
A while ago I wrote about destination fatigue; I’ve been thinking about this more and more, particularly after a conversation I had with a friend this past weekend. My friend teaches graphic design at a SUNY not far from where I live, and we were talking about preparing students for the World Out There. Their ideas of appropriate dress and behavior are different from ours but those are the things that can be changed and molded. What’s more difficult is their ideas of privacy and how best to work.
In this day of Augmented Reality and games like Foursquare, with Facebook’s creator deciding that privacy is not important, how do we teach students to create a private space? How do we let them know that not sharing everything has value – it’s not just about mystery, it’s about preserving a sense of self in a world where we’re increasingly nakedly “out there”. Will there be a backlash, a move to going off the grid?
As for the way in which they work, they’ve been told that their generation has mastered the art of multitasking (or continuous partial attention). They’ve had expectations lowered and distractions raised so that working on one thing, mindfully, is a novel idea. How many of my students watch tv and do homework and text and listen to their iPod at the same time? I’d venture a guess that it’s quite a lot of them.
I’m guilty, too. I feel compelled to keep up professionally, so at night I read my RSS feeds and try to catch up on the links being shared on twitter and look at the elists to which I’m subscribed; all that takes about around 3 hours a night. For me to accomplish all that, I have to watch tv at the same time – otherwise, I won’t be able to spend time reading before bed. It’s difficult for me to concentrate on the tv AND the professional ‘keeping up’ at the same time, so neither get done particularly well.
I think back to my life before I became a librarian, when work was 9-5 and that was it; my evenings and weekends were my own. There wasn’t a need to carve out “me” time because that was abundant. I didn’t feel guilty about not attending the Knowledge Building Center seminar tonight. I didn’t have a sense of panic about not doing the right thing by my students and school because I was missing something that could help them in their search for academic success. Getting an invitation to become part of the New Media Literacies site shouldn’t make me resent opening my e-mail.
What I need – what we all need – is to stop time a little. To really think about what’s more important, ourselves or everyone else, and to find a way to balance that. All this overwhelm and scrambling to keep up just means that something is getting left behind; I’d rather it not be my life, or yours.

Dunes and a beautiful delta in Lake Eyre.
Like some other bloggers I know, I can't resist pointing to yet another image from NASA's Earth Observatory site. This one if of Australia's Lake Eyre basin.
Just go read the description there. In how many places do we see a delta system and sand dunes cutting through one other?
And an amazing ecosystem to boot--see the Australian Broadcasting Corp. video (referenced by the EO site) here.

A wonderful book on water lifting devices.
Water Lifting Devices, by P.L. Fraenkel and Jeremy Thake.
My wife Kate loves libraries, and on one of our recent trips to the newly remodeled Morris Library at SIUC, I happened to spot this book. I've done innumerable internet searches on pumps and related technology for our river model development, but had never seen this one. Score another one for books on shelves.
The book's aim is a review of applied pumping theory and practice, and description of pumps suitable for, mostly, third world applications. It's amazingly comprehensive, with wonderful sections on theory and pump efficiency--even covering generation of electricity using wind, hydro, and biogas.
Pumping is a difficult topic. This book does an admirable job of making it accessible.
If you work with pumps or fluid mechanics, or are interested in mechanical devices (and their history) you'll enjoy this book. Many of the technologies described, such as the Archimedes Screw, are centuries old and most rely on human or animal power.
You can find the most recent version (3rd edition, 2007) on Amazon.com here, and it seems the UN-FAO has an older online version with a linked table of contents here. Both are richly illustrated.
I also found a wonderful collection of photographs covering this topic by Thorkild Schiöler here. A photo from this site, of a Chinese "dragons's spine" pump powered by three treaders, is shown below.

An "inland hurricane" hits Carbondale.
In Illinois, the damage covers several counties, and we're told Carbondale took the brunt of it. Hardly a home stands undamaged. I counted over 30 trees destroyed on the 3-acre lot my in-laws own.
A 36-inch red oak came down on the back of our building, giving us quite a shock. Like many huge old oaks that were destroyed, it was simply uprooted. Constant rain over the last two weeks left soils saturated, and many healthy trees were destroyed this way. Bad luck.
We just regained power the Internet connection today, though many of us will be without power for several days at home.
Top image is the NOAA Radar, which I captured an hour or so before the winds hit us.
Update: Radar imagery from the University of Wisconsin. A week after the storm, many thousands of homes (including mine) are still without power, and Carbondale estimates over 3,000 trees came down in the City.

Grade control Part 1.
I've been working on an incised urban channel needing grade control, and took the opportunity to review what's out there, and also my own thick files. Here I'll talk a bit about theory, practice, and the politics of using grade control in channel management.
First, a skydiver. On leaving the plane he has huge potential energy relative to the ground thousands of feet below. After opening his chute, he slowly dissipates that energy by converting it to kinetic energy using a parachute.
Water works the same way. Especially in urban channels, I use this simple conceptual approach: We have a certain volume of water entering our area of interest at a certain elevation. As this flow moves down the channel, potential energy (from the elevation difference) is converted to kinetic energy and dissipated. How that conversion and dissipation happens largely controls channel erosion and sediment transport.
Grade control structures are a way to manage this. At the top of this figure we see a smooth channel. Conversion of potential (PE) to kinetic energy (KE) is more or less evenly distributed throughout the reach. Below we've added grade controls. What's important here is that we now see 1) most of the energy is now dissipated only at discreet locations (the GC structures) and 2) we pick and armor those locations.
Pretty simple. And it works. In theory, you don't have to armor the channel between these structures. One of the many things about river mechanics that is counterintuitive to most people.

Em2 models on a map.
View Emriver Em2 models in a larger map
We've been busy shipping Em2 models this month--it seems the economy is recovering, or at least agency budgets are moving past last fall's severe cuts.
So we took some time to map the locations of our Em2 models. It's a nice feeling to see the impact we're having. Some of the locations have several models; Winona State has six Em2's (and an Em4).

Guys I need some advise on what H/C setup to go with on the Z. It's between LG and TSP. The LG setup will be the AFR 205's milled to 59cc and the G5X3 cam. TSP haven't quit made up my mind on what to go with. Any body running any of their h/c combo on a ZO6? I would like to make a least 450rwhp, will the stock injectors be enough? Going with the AFR set up is more $$$, will it be worth it? If I go with AFR's I will need to hold off on a fast intake and keep the LS6, can the stock intake get me to 450? Also what about the stock clutch will it hold up for a while?

I have a 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Roller in great condition. It has 66k miles on the chasse. It's red w/ ebony interior. I've had the car for about 2 years now but I need to get rid of it ASAP. The motor, transmission, rearend are in the car now. I will pull the motor out once I find a buyer, unless the buyer would like to take the car with the engine at an additional cost. The car is sitting on 10 spoke silver snow flake rims. It will need a new set of tires for the rims. Other than that this car is in excellent shape.

Thanks, MSM! Another cleverly executed cover-up job for His Majesty. Your fall guy is in place, and all that´s left for you is accusing anyone who doesn´t believe the cascade of White House lies a racist and/or conspiracy nut. Oh, and by the way, MSM - the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
I don´t care who hit the delete-button on Al-Quaida. I want to know who inserted the "it was the video" meme.
I believe clapper is the ONLY one under oath who said he did not order a stand down. Perfect match for the legal show the dems are eager to put on thus further distracting the deaf,dumb and blind public from the story of a group of people slaughtered while our potus watched and did nothing.
I suspect that this administration is going to lay this at Petraeus´ feet.He can rise up again and hurt them since most Americans seem to love an adulterer.
There are still four dead Americans and this administration will not tell us why our Ambassador was in Benghazi with minimal security. The answer to that will explain everything.
Why don´t we start calling it "The Black House?"
Duh, Obama will "hang" this on somebody. In fact he spends more time blaming everyone else, when he alone is responsible. Anyone who works with him or for him should know that Obama will blame them for his dissasstrous mistakes and deluded thinking. Why are there never any consequences for this president and the democrats?
#7--that´s what Islamists and Al Qa´ida already refer to is as, The Black House.
FTA: As Senator John McCain explained: “It is the worst cover-up or incompetence I have ever observed in my life. Somebody the other day said to me, This is as bad as Watergate, [but] nobody died in Watergate.”The Republicans need to keep up this drum beat regardless of the smears by the Dems who are trying to make it appear to be racism and sexism. McCain doesn´t have to worry about running for President again.All complaints of racism and sexism have worn thin, and it will continue to become more wearisome as time goes by.The people who are crying racism regarding what McCain said about Susan Rice are showing what fools they are. Incompetence doesn´t have a skin or gender designation. I know we have a lot of morons right now, but sooner or later even those uncommitted morons are going to scratch their heads and "say what?"If the Congressional Black Caucasians (Rush´s name for the CBC) keep crying wolf, all they are doing is making themselves look even more stupid than they normally appear. They only care about their own constituents, though, so it won´t matter to them.#7´s new designation for the Executive Mansion in DC is perfect!
Obama: Commander-in-Chief. m´k?
Why did Hillary Clinton deny the Benghazi consulate elite armed security in a war torn Islamic nation known as fertile ground for recruiting jihadists?Why isn´t anyone asking that?
For anyone who cares to read it, here is the URL of Zippy´s UN speech in September. A masterpiece of equivocation.
Sorry here´s the URL
0bama = SpadePiaps = GutmanJarrett = O´ShaughnessyAxelrod = Cairo- - and Clapper = Wilmer - - the Fall Guy.Yup - - straight out of the script for "The Maltese Falcon."
Sacrificing an incompetent white man in order to take the heat off an incompetent black woman. The chorus will sing that it was Clapper who made the change and poor, falsely accused Susan Rice DESERVES to be Sec State to make up for her horrible persecution. Oh, the humanity! Slavery! Slavery!Give me a break.Everyone is expected to obediently forget that by the time Rice appeared on the Sunday shows EVERYONE knew that Benghazi was a terrorist attack by an alquaeda affiliate. Either Rice was so out of the loop and insulated that she barely knew what day it was, or she appeared on those shows and deliberately and repeatedly advanced a storyline that she knew was a complete lie. That she was lying to the American people at someone else´s instructions makes her no less of a liar. Clueless or a liar. Rock and a hard place. There is no way out of it. And if she gets off the hook by being clueless, she´s a GREAT candidate for Sec State (???!!!).
Yep fall guy is right on...no way Obie would accept his responsibility...

10 Tips To Avoid The Calorie Monster During Holiday Parties
The Catwoman Workout By Celebrity Trainer Ramona Braganza
Shape up with Ramona’s “3-2-1 Training Method”, which incorporates a blend of cardio, circuit and core training to build lean muscles and say goodbye to belly bulge!
The next 30 to 45 minute blast workout consists of 3 cardio segments, 2 circuits of strength and 1 core element.
-Begin the first cardio segment with 3-5 minutes warm up on the elliptical, bike or jogging in place.
-Follow with 3 rounds of strength exercises that work on three different parts of the body, by doing 3 sets of 15-20 reps and resting for 45 seconds between the sets; for chest do pushups or use the chest press machineat the gym. For legs andbiceps do single leg lunge with bicep curl and as a compound exercise do plié squats or plié jumps.
Plie Jumps: slim and tone your inner thighs and hips , and sculpt your calves.
-Start with your feet wider than shoulder width apart, turning your toes out and bending your knees.
-Extend your arms out to your sides at shoulder height.
-While keeping your arms extended, bend your knees and drop your butt to the floor; then jump into the air. Hit the ground and return to the starting position. When landing try to land gently and keep your knees bent to prevent knee injury.
-Do 15 reps.
-Start your second cardio interval with 10 min of high intensity exercises such as jump rope, running or jumping jacks that get your heart rate up. Even if you don’t have a rope with you, just pretend and continue jumping.
-Follow with 3 rounds of dumbbell reverse flies, (which work the back muscles for good posture), tricep kickbacks or tricep dips great for jiggly arms and shadow boxing exercises to increase endurance and speed. Again, do 15-20 reps of each set with a few seconds of rest between them.
Jab Cross Punches: this type of kickboxing movements executed with weights in your hands, is great for theupper body and for the oblique muscles when you twist your trunk.
-Start with the legs hip width apart and knees slightly bent, holding a 2-5 lb. dumbbell in each hand.
-Hold the hands in a boxing stance at chest level with your palms facing in.
-Twist your torso to the right while extending the left arm to punch; then return to the initial position while keeping your back straight and the core muscles engaged. Twist to the left side and punch with the right arm extended.
-Do 15-20 reps.
-For the last cardio segment, you should do quick, intense movements such as jump ropes followed by 30 seconds of kicks or walking up and down the stairs.
- The core segment is what ends a vigorous workout series. Do 3 abs exercises in a row, such as 15 reps of v-ups, followed by 15 reps bicycle and plank variations.
Plank with hip twists (waist cincher): it works on transverse abdominal muscles, obliques and hips, trimming the waist.
-Start in a plank position on forearms, keeping your hands in line with your elbows and the back straight.
-For an extra challenge, hold the start plank position for 30 sec without arching your back.
-Twist your hips to the left and slowly touch the floor. All this time, keep your elbows still on the floor, rotating just your hips.
-Return to the middle position and then twist to the other side.
-Do 20 reps.
Ramona Braganza’s fitness advice:
-If you do only cardio every time when you go to the gym, you won’t have a great body. She classifies this as one common fitness mistake that women make when they want to reshape their bodies. She says that cardio alone leads to “skinny fat, looking thin but lacking definition”.
-You need to combine your cardio workouts with at least 2 times a week strength workouts such as squats, lunges and pushups to build lean, sexy muscles.
-Don’t take shortcuts when lifting weights: if you take too many breaks between your series and use light weights that you can lift easily, it means that you aren’t working hard enough to challenge your muscles. Your last strength training exercises should be hard enough that you are burned out after the exercises..
Studies have shown that building muscles helps to burn fat faster; in general, a pound of muscle burns 50 to 150 calories per day while 1 pound of stubborn fat only burns 3 calories per day!

Male Nude (Nando), 2009, sanguine and graphite on paper, 14 x 14 1/2 inches
It's been a while since I've drawn a nude, since April of 2007 I think. So it was time, and I was lucky find a model within my circle of friends. Hopefully I can get a few more drawings out of him.
3 comments:
Luis, this is just stunning and shows just how skilled you are at life drawing. I once had professor in college who said that if you can draw the human nude then you can do anything. I hope you know how much I have appreciated this blog of yours, sharing your creative experiences and your very being with all of us. You were one of my first Flickr artist friends and I must thank you for that. Please do more of these wonderful drawings and take good care.
All the best, Robert Hoover
Hello Robert, I thank you and appreciate very much you leaving that comment. It's very rewarding to hear these kinds of things once in a while, especially during times of doubt. Drawing the human figure is something I don't do often due to lack of free models and private space. But I do love drawing the figure. I have yet to paint it since I'm afraid of not doing a good job, but I feel that the time has come for me to do so. Thank you once again and I hope you're doing well and still painting.
Best,
Luis
You're very welcome, we should all help each other when ever possible. You have a lot of talent and we all need to have someone give us encouragement from time to time. You probably checked my Flickr site and saw I am still creating art (it's a big part of who I am) and have my second art exhibit this Friday night in Upstate NY called "Absolutely Abstract". Always fond wishes, Robert

JWoww’s Gets Engaged!!
Jersey Shore star JWoww is going to become a wife!
Her boyfriend Roger Matthews asked her the question last week on a skydiving trip. When they hit the floor after the skydiving he got down on one knee and poped the question.
And she said YES!!
“It happened the middle of last week during filming for season two of Snooki & JWoww. They went skydiving and jumped out of a plane together. After landing safely, Roger shocked her by getting down on one knee and proposing. Of course, she said yes! [The ring] is beautiful! And big.”
If you would like to see Roger asking JWoww the important question you can see it on Season 2 of Snooki and JWoww on MTV:
“The crew took great pains to make sure they weren’t followed by photographers and the footage is being kept tightly under wraps. Everyone will have to wait until Season 2 to see it.”

I was happy to see the lathe spinning, it looks relaxing with the wave moves, and less violent than a moter lathe.Very poetic and positive poem – thank you.Best thoughts,Mads

Thanks Mads glad you enjoyed it. The Springpole Lathe is definitly a teacher of disipline and patience, but once you have it set and going the magic takes place as the shavings commence. This is my only turning experience so far. I have yet to get even up to some more advanced 1700-1800 foot pedal lathes….lol…Of course a powered one would be nice as well. In time I’ll get there. Thanks again!

I have most of the parts ready for a pole lathe, but it will be even more simple.But I think it will be for next summer since it will be a outdoor project.Smiles,Mads

This is a lovely little hotel, inside the old part of town so central to all the interesting stuff, bars,restaurants, museums etc., and the castle only... a short stroll away. Old building, but very well modernised inside. Lift, and a fab shower in our room. Hotel MB only serves breakfast, and there is no bar, but on our last afternoon we discovered a lovely little bar just a bit further up the little cobbled street from the hotel entrance. Half a litre of beer and a good coffee came to €2.80!! Cheapest we found... Free access to Internet in rooms - just ask for a cable. If you need WIFI, you can get a good signal in lobby or on first floor landing. Hotels.com viesis, 02/08/2012

WC Fraud
Examples of WC Fraud
NJ Workers' Compensation Fraud Act
Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor
Penalties for Committing WC Fraud
Reporting Fraud
WHAT IS WORKERS' COMPENSATION FRAUD?
Workers' Compensation Fraud occurs when someone knowingly makes a false representation of a material fact to obtain or to deny workers' compensation benefits or to avoid responsibility under the law. Fraud also occurs when an employer misrepresents the amount of payroll or classification of its employees. Failure to maintain the required WC insurance coverage is also a crime.
All of us who live and work in New Jersey pay the price for fraud - in the loss of jobs and profit, lower wages and benefits, and higher costs for services and insurance premiums. It affects workers and employers alike and is committed by workers and employers alike.
A worker commits a fraud
by misrepresenting his / her job status while collecting temporary disability benefits
by filing a claim for an injury that did not occur on or has no relation to the job
by knowingly misrepresenting his / her physical condition to obtain WC benefits
by misrepresenting previous trauma or treatment
An employer commits a fraud
when it misrepresents the amount of payroll or the proper classification of its employees
by failing to obtain workers' compensation insurance coverage. This is in violation of NJSA 34:15-79 and is punishable by up to 18 months in jail and a $10,000 fine, in addition to substantial civil penalties.
An attorney or health care provider commits a fraud
when they assist an individual in fraudulent schemes, participate in double billing or intentionally billing for services not provided or are unwarranted
WC FRAUD ACT
Workers’ compensation fraud is governed by the NJ Workers' Compensation Statute, N.J.S.A. 34:15-57.4. This statute provides that a criminal violation occurs if a misrepresentation is made for the purpose of wrongfully obtaining benefits or withholding benefits or premiums regarding workers’ compensation. If an individual wrongfully obtains benefits, a Judge of Compensation has discretion to terminate benefits and order the forfeiture of benefits that might otherwise be properly received.
OFFICE OF INSURANCE FRAUD PROSECUTOR
The Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP), was created in 1998 with the mission to investigate allegations of Medicaid and insurance fraud and to develop case-specific facts and evidence. This allows the State of New Jersey to make a reasoned decision whether and how to proceed in cases involving insurance fraud, especially against those who submit false or inflated claims to private or government insurance providers.
Office of Insurance Fraud Prosecutor website
PENALTIES
Workers' Compensation Employer Fraud NJSA 34:15-57.4
An employer who makes a false or misleading statement, representation or submission, including a misclassification of employees, or engages in a deceptive leasing practice, for the purpose of evading the full payment of benefits or premiums shall be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
A person who evades the full payment of premiums pursuant to R.S.34:15-1 et seq. or improperly denies or delays benefits pursuant to R.S.34:15-1 et seq. is liable to pay the sum due and owing plus simple interest and shall be civilly liable to any person injured by the violation for damages and all reasonable costs and attorney fees of the injured person.
Failure to Purchase Required WC Insurance Coverage
NJSA 34:15-120.1(c) NJSA 34:15-79
It is illegal for an employer to not purchase workers' compensation insurance. Failure to purchase the required workers’ compensation insurance coverage is a disorderly persons offense and, if such failure shall be determined to be willful, a crime of the fourth degree.
Civil penalties for failure to provide such coverage are:
-
up to $1,000 for the first twenty days
-
and up to $1,000 for each ten days thereafter
If a judgment is entered by a Judge of Compensation against an uninsured employer, in addition to the judgment amount,
-
an additional $1,000 penalty shall be imposed
-
as well as an assessment of 15% (not to exceed $5,000) of the judgment amount.
-
Civil penalties may be imposed even if the case is not prosecuted criminally. NJSA 34:15-120.1(c)
If successfully prosecuted as an indictable offense, the crime is punishable by up to:
-
18 months in jail
-
a $10,000 fine
-
in addition to civil penalties. (NJSA 34:15-79)
Workers' Compensation Worker Fraud: NJSA 34:15-57.4
A person who purposely or knowingly makes a false or misleading statement for the purpose of wrongfully obtaining benefits shall be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
If that person has received benefits.
The Division of Workers' Compensation may also order the immediate termination or denial of benefits with respect to that claim and a forfeiture of all rights of compensation or payments sought with respect to the claim.
Health Care Claims Fraud:
It is illegal to submit a false claim form to an insurance company in order to be paid for health care services which were not received or provided. This is a violation of the NJ Health Care Claims Fraud Act, NJSA 2C:21-4.2 and 2C:21-4.3
-
Punishable by 5 to 10 years in prison if the person submitting the claim is a doctor, chiropractor, dentist, psychologist, nurse, pharmacist, physical therapist, lawyer or other licensed professional and the claim is submitted for professional services. In addition, this person can be required to pay a fine of up to $150,000 or up to 5 times the amount of the claim.
-
A person submitting the claim who is not a doctor, chiropractor, etc., could be sentenced 3 to 5 years in jail for just filing one false claim.
REPORTING FRAUD
The Division of Workers' Compensation is committed to preserving the integrity of the system. You can also help!

This is the windmill that was just up the street from where I lived, so I rode by it every day. There’s actually a local brewery and cafe inside it that I unfortunately never got to visit.
My building had an awesome rooftop with a really cool view of the city. This picture really doesn’t do it justice because my camera wasn’t the best quality. I miss this roof a lot.
This is a picture of my building at night. All of the flats had these floor-to-ceiling windows with glass panes of all different colors. It looked really cool at night and during the day — very modern and chic.
We had a mixer at our building where they provided like 30 bottles of wine and a bunch of beer to encourage us to get to know the other international students that we shared that wing of the building with. Some people set up a beer pong table in the hallway on the first floor, and I remember this German girl wearing a pink Yankees hat was dominating the beer pong table all evening. I also remember Allison shoving a bottle of wine under her shirt to bring back to her room so we could guzzle it down before we went out to celebrate her birthday. The rest is history.
This was the view from the window of my flat. It sucked having windows that faced the train tracks because they were SO NOISY. And it was nothing like the train sounds I was used to in Springfield — distant clanking and eerie train whistles. No, no. These trains SQUEALED and SQUEAKED and clattered like you would not believe. But I got used to it, and I definitely miss the full wall of east-facing windows in my flat. I still prefer American train sounds to European ones, though.
Speaking of trains, this is the historically styled train that I took with a bunch of students from my program on a day trip to the beach. I miss riding trains — I wish the Midwest had a train system.
This is the Haarlem train station, which also had a historical style to it. “Haarlem” is a perfect example of one of the nuances of the Dutch language — weird double vowels that American mouths can’t quite handle. I think no matter how many years I studied it and practiced, I would never be able to speak Dutch well. There are too many insane consonant combinations and odd vowel sounds that are nothing like English pronunciations.
I love the beach, so I was really ecstatic about going to the North Sea when I was in Europe. This was my first time on a west coast shore, so I insisted on staying at the beach all day, even after most of the student group had gone back to the city, so that I could see the beach sunset.
A small group of us went to a grocery store and bought some beer (which was exciting in itself, because none of us were 21) and watched the sunset while drinking in the sand. We barely caught the last train back to Amsterdam, but it was so worth it.
Gah! All so beautiful. And sunsets are always worth it. (And booze is usually worth it.)
:)

Original recipe yields 1 - 9 inch square pan
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.

Sam Hall July 14, 2012
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA's fruitless search for a long-term halfback has hit another snag, with Roosters boss Stephen Noyce formally blocking their move for Mitchell Pearce.
After missing out on Cooper Cronk in March, the Herald understands the Dragons made an all-out bid to lure Pearce to the Red V next season, a year before his contract with the Roosters expired.
But Noyce rejected claims Pearce would be leaving the Bondi Junction club when contacted yesterday.
''Speculation and rumours aren't good things to comment on - Mitchell's here for this year and next year and we look forward to him fulfilling that contract, and many more years and many more contracts after that,'' Noyce said.
Asked whether he still believed Pearce was future captain material, Noyce said, ''Oh, definitely''.
''We enjoy having Mitchell at our club, and certainly the plans are that he'll be very much a part of the exciting future of the Roosters this year, next year and beyond.''
The Dragons are eager to settle on a long-term pivot to succeed captain Ben Hornby, but a lack of quality halves on the open market has them going around in circles.
Noyce's St George-Illawarra counterpart, Peter Doust, did not return calls yesterday.
Pearce's manager, Mike Newton, said he would wait until the outcome of the NRL's broadcast rights deal before taking up the matter.
''I haven't spoken to anyone,'' Newton said. ''He's under contract next year … I'm not looking at it until we know the lay of the land in regards to the salary cap and everything else.
''We won't know that until the end of the year and I won't be talking to anyone before November 1 [when the official bidding contest for 2014 gets under way] in any case.''
The cap will rise from $4.3 million per club to at least $5 million next season thanks to the anticipated $1 billion-plus rights deal. Players such as Pearce, whose current value hovers at about $650,000 a season, could score big pay rises.
Pearce's stocks have risen considerably since he last put pen to paper with the Roosters. He has now made nine Origin and three City-Country appearances.
''It's not a hidden fact that halfbacks aren't easy to come by, let alone 23-year-old halfbacks with 120-odd first-grade games and representative honours,'' Newton said.
He said he had given the Roosters verbal assurances which prevented rival clubs from making an early play at Pearce, who is yet to formally discuss his future with his manager.
''I've told the Roosters I'm not interested in talking to anyone until next year - they're aware of that,'' Newton said. ''I hear the rumours and I read the rumours but I haven't spoken to anyone.''

Silicon Knights' next game: The Box?
30th Nov 2009 | 09:08
It's CVG time again: A curriculum vitae has leaked the identity of a game in development at Too Human house, Silicon Knights.
According to the Chinese notes of ex-Silicon Knights artist, Zhang Shao-yong, his previous work includes "Too Human, and The Box (Xbox and PS3)," on which he helped shape visual effects for "explosions, smoke, water, fire, weather and so on."
Like you, we've no idea what 'The Box' is - though we doubt the Canadian developer is working on an Xbox 360 spin-off of the popular music channel.
Casting our eyes back to a 2008 CVG interview with boss Dennis Dyack though, the SK honcho does appear to drops some hints on what The Box could be about.
"We've been lucky enough to make Legacy of Kain, Eternal Darkness, Too Human and if you look at all of those they're all really different," said Dyack. ."
The Too Human developer is already known to be working on a new IP with Sega, which will be the studio's first partnership with a non-platform-holder in ten years. Could this be it?

Bob Dylan, America's celebrated bard, turns 71 on May 24, 2012. The world of popular music can be measured in two distinct periods, B.D. and After Dylan. He altered the way we think about lyrics – in form, content, and their potential to literally change the world.
Dylan has won many awards throughout his 50-year career, including 11 Grammy Awards, one Academy Award and one Golden Globe Award; he has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2008 Dylan was awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation "for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."
To honor the man on his special day, we submit our top 20 favorite Dylan lyrics.
"You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin’ out
Now you don’t talk so loud
Now you don’t seem so proud
About having to be scrounging
for your next meal."
(1965)

Bruce Jones rehab request rejected
Published Mar 23 2010, 12:02 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly
Former Coronation Street star Bruce Jones has reportedly been refused permission to enter a rehab clinic in South Africa.
© Rex Features
According to PA, Jones appeared in court today in a bid to have the date of his sentencing for dangerous driving deferred or brought forward. He made the request so that he would be free to join a Cape Town treatment centre.
However, it is understood that the request was rejected by Judge John Rogers QC because the ex-soap star may still face a jail term.
Jones's defence lawyer had argued that checking into the clinic was "the most effective way" for the actor to begin treatment for alcoholism and would "in no way interfere with the interests of justice".
However, Judge Rogers stated: "I have seen the application that he might go to South Africa and I'm afraid it does not accord with what the trial judge has deemed the appropriate course of action."
Jones, who played Weatherfield layabout Les Battersby for ten years, last week confessed that a drunken rage had caused him to grab the wheel of his wife's car while she was driving and threaten to kill them both.
The 57-year-old is expected to be sentenced as planned on April 16.

Police have charged a Hoke County man with killing two men found dead in their car after it crashed on Gillespie Street on Sunday.
Eric Junior White, 22, of Beltons Loop in Raeford, was charged about 3 a.m. with two counts of first-degree murder, said Lt. Chris Davis, a Fayetteville police spokesman.
White is accused of shooing Anthony DeAngelo Aigle, 23, of West Blue Street in St. Pauls, and Jamone Lasalle Jacques, 26, of the 6200 block of Yewlene Drive in Fayetteville, Davis said.
Officers were called to the 300 block of Gillespie Street, near Campbell Avenue and Blount Street, about shots fired and a traffic accident about 9 p.m., Davis said. When they arrived, they found Aigle and Jacques dead inside a Dodge Charger that had run off the road and into a vacant lot.
White was arrested Sunday night near the crash scene, Davis said.
The motive for the shooting was not known, Davis said.
White is being held without bail in the Cumberland County Detention Center.

USIBWC Awards Contract for Lower Rio Grande Levee Contruction Funded by the Recovery Act
January 13, 2010
International Boundary and Water Commission
United States Section
RECOVERY.GOV
The contract was awarded to Sun Belt Builders, Inc. of Sonoita, Arizona to construct 13 miles of levee improvements along the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County from Lateral A to Retamal Dam. The work will provide enhanced flood protection for the area along the river from east of the City of Hidalgo to south of Donna. The USIBWC is raising levee height in compliance with standards established by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to protect against the 100-year river flood. Construction is expected to be completed by January 2011..
“Construction is already underway on Recovery Act levee projects in the Lower Rio Grande Valley,” said U.S. Commissioner C.W. “Bill” Ruth of the International Boundary and Water Commission. “I am pleased we were able to award these contracts, get people back to work, and fix our deficient levees.”
To date, the USIBWC has awarded $144 million in Recovery Act contracts, including the contracts described above and others for levee work in Doña Ana County, New Mexico and El Paso and Hudspeth Counties, Texas. The Recovery Act funding enables the USIBWC to accelerate work on its aging Rio Grande flood control system. The purpose of the Recovery Act is to create and save jobs, promote economic recovery, and invest in infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits.spener@ibwc.gov

Nissan is to build an all-new mid-sized model at its Sunderland plant from 2014, a decision that marks a return to the European mainstream medium segment for the company.
According to Nissan, the new medium hatchback will create an additional 225 jobs at the company and 900 throughout its supply chain.
At last month’s Geneva Motor Show Nissan announced that it is to produce a mainstream B-segment compact car based on the INVITATION concept from next year.
Combined, both models will result in more than 3,000 new jobs being created in the UK automotive sector within the next two years, with 625 at Nissan and the remainder through component suppliers.
Once recruitment for both models is complete, the Sunderland plant workforce will stand at 6,225, supporting an overall annual plant volume of more than half a million units.
Today’s announcement, supported by an offer of £8.2m from the Regional Growth Fund, represents an additional £127m investment by Nissan in its Sunderland operation.
Details regarding Nissan’s recruitment campaign can be found here.

If Manuel sees this he's going to be angry :)
Yes it's planned, but he's waiting on ipfilter 4.0 since the
functionality will be built in then. While it's possible now, he said
it'd take a lot of hacking and make an efficient rule set. (Realize
that I'm paraphrasing and may be incorrect on some part, as I'm new to
the BSD world)

(ARA) - the biggest attractions of tortillas is their versatility, particularly for busy nights when a quick, fresh meal is a necessity. The same tortilla that you would use for a homemade quesadilla can also be used as a pizza crust or dessert crepe. With a little imagination, you can use whole wheat tortillas to create tasty and unexpected dishes that the whole family will love.
* Tortilla pizzas. Think of tortillas as an already-prepared pizza crust that just needs a touch of your creativity. Top whole wheat tortillas with sauce, vegetables and pre-cooked meats for a healthful taste treat. Or, turn it into a dessert by adding fruit, which can take on even bolder flavors when grilled.
* Crepes. Making the traditional French creation can be a real challenge, particularly if you don't have the right tools. Instead, use tortillas to make sweet and savory crepes when the mood strikes. Spiced apple filling is ideal for those with a sweet tooth, but ham-and-cheese or vegetable-and-cheese versions can make great lunches and dinners.
Having easy, nutritious options for dinner, lunch and beyond is the saving grace of many pantries. Keeping a stock of tortillas, particularly nutrient-rich whole wheat varieties, makes it easy to prepare creative, delicious dinners that please all kinds of palates. Try these recipes from Qdoba's head chef Ted Stoner for a fresh, flavorful take on tortillas. For more information about Qdoba, visit.

4. Place back in oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cheese is completely melted.
5. Remove from oven and top with fresh chopped cilantro.
6. Cut in to quarters and serve.
*One full rotisserie chicken will make as many as six pizzas. After you've used the desired amount of chicken on your pizza, wrap and save leftovers or make additional pizzas.
Whole Wheat Tortilla Apple Crepes
Makes 6 - 8 crepes
6 - 8 8-inch whole wheat tortillas

The parents of a missing 8-year-old girl tearfully asked Friday for the return of their daughter, who disappeared Tuesday evening.The parents of a missing 8-year-old girl tearfully asked Friday for the return of their daughter, who disappeared Tuesday evening.
In a news conference outside their south Jacksonville home, Steve and Sheila Clifton thanked the hundreds of volunteers and police involved in her search for their daughter, Maddie Clifton, and begged that she return.
"Maddie, if you are out there and you can hear us, we are ready for you to come back home," her sobbing mother said. "Maddie is a very strong little girl. She is full of love. Maddie, please come home!"
" "If someone has Maddie, please let her go," Steve Clifton said."Let her go anywhere and run if you have to. I know with all the people out, she would be found immediately."" "If someone has Maddie, please let her go," Steve Clifton said."Let her go anywhere and run if you have to. I know with all the people out, she would be found immediately."
Late Friday the Cliftons announced the reward for the child's safe return was increased to $100,000.
On Thursday, police spent eight hours questioning a neighbor who last saw the child before she disappeared. Larry Grisham said he failed a police polygraph and gave police DNA samples.
"I'm a prime suspect. I'm 45 years old, I play with children and I have a criminal record. That makes me a suspect," Grisham said.
Lt. Mark Foxworth, a homicide detective, said Friday that no one has been eliminated as a suspect. Six other neighbors also were interviewed by police.
On Friday, members of the U.S. Army Reserve were making what they called a "hard search," which included looking in culverts and opening manhole covers.
Information on the girl will be broadcast this weekend on "America's Most Wanted."
Maddie vanished Tuesday night about 5:30 p.m. She was last seen chipping golf balls with Grisham in a yard between his house and a neighbor's, about five doors down from her home.
While police continue to investigate, family and friends tied yellow ribbons to trees and pinned small ones to their clothes. A massive search of the area was planned for Saturday. throughout the weekend for updates on the search for Maddie.

Tonight's guests include:
Karen Tumulty, national political correspondent for The Washington Post
Gabriel Arana, reporter and web editor at The American Prospect and author of the piece “My So Called Ex-Gay Life”
While watching tonight's video preview, take a listen to tonight's soundtrack. (Just be sure to allow the ad below to play out entirely before starting the song)
Executive producer Bill Wolff shares a preview of tonight's show:
It is important for us progressives to acknowledge that members of the NRA run the full spectrum of mental stability covering; Avid sportsman... Normal family man and occasional hunter ... redneck hunter.... rabid redneck hunter... frothing klansman hunter.... certifiable loon .... and at the extreme far end Ted Nugent.
Senator Inhof is crazy about Nugent the nut or nuts about Nugent the crazy; you decide which is more accurate. Senator Inhof is in urgent need of a remedial lesson dealing with the English grammar, specifically context.
The following is a demonstration of the impotance of context. Pay close attention to the words in italics. I love baseball bats for killing people. I will be dead or in jail in one year if Obama is reelected United States President. The first part represents despair or depression, but couple with the second part it suggests psychotic malevolence. Mr. Inhof, certainly you can see that these two phrase coupled together screams for the question, Why, Why, and once again why!begs an explanation
Rachel - first you are my favorite and most informed and intellignet reporter - I want to defent Ms Rosen - she used the wrong first few words but the truth in what she said is quite obvious - Mrs Romney never had to worry about finances, housekeep , child care etc - no comparison to the average homemaker in this country - Keep up the good work in revealing the truth about this Romney compaign - Your devoted Fan! Paul
Romney HAS to separate himself from this maniac. Nugent may as well have a pitchfork and torch leading a mindless lynch mob.
TRMS - my favorite evening activity.
It might be educational to run something about the following.
ALEC's Patriot Act caused the Great Recession.
Real estate value represents over half of accumulated US wealth, and real estate value depends upon population, and ALEC policies reduced the population from 2006 to 2009.
This wealth is destroyed when real estate abandonment becomes common, and that is caused by population decline.
The most important changes are periods of unusually high unemployment and poverty. California personal value dropped from 2007 for the first time since 1938 (Legislative Analysis Office, California, 2009).
Every period of economic decline corresponds with population decline.
These are as follows.
Prior to 1873
This is a period of enormous economic expansion with the exception of 1837 to 1843 and 1857 to 1860.
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the US in 1803.
Ethnic cleansing takes place in Louisiana Purchase territory from 1837 to 1843 due to actions taken by Andrew Jackson. This reduces the Native American population by 50% or more.
While most Native Americans are nomadic at the time, they provide migrant labor, trade goods, and consumer demand for manufactured goods (firearms and hardware). This consumer demand was terminated when Native American genocide began and survivors were forcibly removed to the Oklahoma territory by Andrew Jackson. The US calvary is the first modern military organization to engage in biological warfare by providing blankets to Native Americans that were obtained from smallpox wards.
Most surviving Native Americans migrate south and west.
The Mexican American War added the remaining areas of the continental US in 1848 with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The California Gold Rush begins in 1848, and the killing of Native American people legalized to gain mining rights. Many Native Americans living in the west began to flee south to Mexico or north to Canada to avoid being murdered. Gold production propped up the California economy until 1855.
The economy collapsed again in 1857. Systematic Native American ethnic cleansing began during the collapse in California, Oregon, Washington, and Idaho as miners cleared the native population to gain access to farmland. Population statistics were not maintained for Native Americans and the US government did not maintain good financial records, so root cause analysis cannot be done.
US economic growth resumed in 1860 at the same the Civil War began, which implies Native American genocide is linked with the collapse.
Long Depression
The "Old West" period of cowboys and indians begins in 1865 with the end of the Civil War. About half of cowboys are African American, and the remainder a mix of Civil War veterans and civilized Native Americans.
The Long Depression begins in 1873 with genocide and ends with immigration of millions of Europeans and Mexicans beginning in 1897.
This is actually two events that follow the Civil War - the Panic of 1873 and the Panic of 1893.
Veterans begin slaughtering buffalo for hides following the Civil War. As many as 100,000 buffalo are killed daily during the Great Buffalo Massacre, littering the Great Planes with skeletons. Native Americans populations were reduced by starvation. Most states and territories legalize the murder of starving Native Americans that kill cattle to survive. This collapses consumer demand and real estate value, bankrupting almost 20,000 businesses, almost 100 railroad companies, and dozens of banks.
The Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) accelerated depopulation by deporting most of the 300,000 asians living in the US, with over 200,000 of those deportees coming from California. The Geary Act (1892) required an internal passport for asians. Passports were not issued to most asians, who were deported. Tens of thousands of Native Americans are murdered across California, Oregon and Washington. This collapses consumer demand and real estate value, which bankrupts most of the remaining railroads and hundreds of banks.
Great Depression
The Immigration Act of 1907 reduces consumer demand, triggering a 50% contraction in the money supply that causes a recession. This is blamed on immigrants, and KKK membership grows to dominate Washington politics by 1915 when a second minor economic collapse is caused by World War I.
Work visas are unlimited with a price under $10 at all border crossings and ports with arriving ships. There is no such thing as illegal immigration. The Mexican Revolution causes a large influx of dark skinned people across the southwest border of the US.
This leads to the Immigration Act of 1917 after white supremacists gain control of both houses of congress, the presidency, and the supreme court.
Thousands of citizens with asian or latin appearance are deported from 1920 to 1929. This reduced the depopulation, which increased vacancy and property abandonment. Most of the economic value of banks is tied up in real estate loans, which triggers a foreclosure boom. On average, more than 600 banks failed each year between 1921 and 1929.
The economy utterly collapsed after the National Origins Act of 1929, as follows.
This empowered counties and cities to round up people at gun point based on appearance and deport an average of 200,000/year from 1929 to 1939. About 2 million US residents are forced out of the country. [1]
The same banks making real estate loans routinely lent money for stock market speculation during the 1920s. Money was lent "on margin", which means a small amount of collateral (real estate) was used to obtain a much larger business loan.
Margin lending produced a housing and stock market bubble, where more money was lent by banks than the total amount of available money.
A growing economy is stable only so long as increasing demand continues to force prices upward, and increasing demand requires increasing population.
An unprecedented number of US citizens and immigrants stopped paying rent and mortgages when they were forced out of the US, which triggered a foreclosure boom in June 1929. A vast number of foreclosure sales triggered a precipitous decline in real estate values that collapsed the housing market by September 1929, which reduced bank assets. The maximum real estate declines occur in California.
Decline in bank asset triggered an unprecedented number of margin calls requiring immediate payback of business loans by the end of October 1929.[2]
These events caused the stock market collapse on October 29, 1929. Most
The states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and New Mexico have bumper crops during 1930 and 1931 as stock market and real estate values plummeted. Crop prices fall so low that farmers cannot afford transportation costs required to move crops to market. Famine beings on the east coast.
Hoover does not interfere as farmers begin to destroy the harvest in an attempt to raise prices, which triggers a mild artificial famine.
Mass migration from the east coast to the west coast begins.
Ocean temperature changes from 1931 to 1939 cut off moisture to many states, resulting in a drought so profound that dust blizzards become common [4]. The prevailing view in Washington DC politics is that there is insufficient money available to assist farming states, and famine begins in the dust bowl region.
Farming failures increase the foreclosure rate, which peaks in 1933. Foreclosure rate declines after banking regulation changes in 1933.
Depression era unemployment remains high until 1942 when unemployment drops below 10% at the same time as the beginning of the Bracero Program.
Savings and Loan Crisis
The Mexican economy collapsed in 1982, which triggered mass immigration to the US of 1 million or more every year up to 1986.
Savings and Loan deregulation allowed low-interest loans during this period. This allows borrowers to afford larger loans.
This combination of high real estate demand and low-interest loans created a massive increase in real estate prices in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, and California.
Mexican immigration ended abruptly with the Immigration and Reform Control Act, which eliminated demand for new construction.
At the same time, interest deductions for real estate investments became non-deductible from primary income, so investors began selling real estate.
At the same time, there was a major drought that reduced agricultural productivity.
This combination of events created excess capacity, high vacancy rates, and a foreclosure boom that collapsed real estate value.
Excess foreclosures collapsed over 700 Savings and Loans, and activated requirements for over $80 billion in insurance by RTC.
The Immigration Act of 1990 increased immigration, which ended the downward spiral of real estate prices.
Great Recession
Illegal immigrants contribute about $200 billion in GSP across the entire US. That consumer demand employs about 10 million US residents.
Three important events occur from 2000 to 2006 during the Bush presidency.
These regulatory changes cause real estate prices and stock prices to skyrocket as investors borrow as much money as is possible. This is intended to restore economic losses that followed the attack of September 11, 2001.
This deregulation does create rapid economic growth, and illegal immigrants flood into the country at the highest rate since the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1920. This fuels a construction boom in the American south and west as hundreds of thousands of excess dwellings are constructed.
The following begins in 2006.
The Mexican economy improves in 2007, and the US population begins to decline. Population decline creates over a million extra dwelling vacancies by 2009.
Real estate prices plummet in 2007 and a foreclosure boom begins in 2008 as foreclosure rates increase by 400%.
Pres. Bush realizes the magnitude of the coming disaster caused by eliminating depression era financial regulations. Bush signs the Emergency Mortgage Loan Modification Act of 2007 in an attempt to prevent the coming banking system collapse, but it is too late.
Real estate value depends upon people to demand dwellings in which to live (US Census Bureau).
Immigration departing the US accounts for a drop of about 1.6% in the population in less than 2 years.
Each US resident creates consumer demand for real estate, vehicles, food, and consumer goods, and that consumer demand includes illegal immigrants.
The illegal immigrant population of Arizona produced $42 billion in GSP during 2008, and immigrant population decline is one of the underlying causes for economic collapse in the American south and west (Immigration Policy Center, 2011).
Birth nearly equals mortality during this period, so this population change is entirely due to migration that contributes the following to the US economy.
The following shows how migration contributed to part of the decline in US real estate values, which collapses real estate value in the American south and west.
The resulting foreclosure boom and real estate collapse in 2007 leaves inadequate asset recovery from foreclosure sales, which reduces bank assets to dangerously low levels.
Banks issue margin calls for stock market investments to cover lending losses in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy.
Margin calls result in rapid trading that collapses the stock market. Over 60% of value is lost from 2007 to 2009 as the population declines.
Investment firms, banks, and businesses lose sufficient capitol that they cannot cover the losses, and the US government is forced to issues loans in order to prevent total economic collapse and double digit unemployment.
This chain of events halts the startup of new businesses, at the same time that millions of jobs are lost in manufacturing, real estate, construction, finance, and investment.
Departure of 5 million immigrants raised unemployment by about 4 million from 2007 to 2009.
A return of 2.6 million immigrants reduced unemployment by about 2 million from 2009 to 2011.

I watched the show tonite and got the impression that you thought it might be a good idea to make and use a license plate with the word vajayjay on it
Kind of like, yeah, I want my vajayjay in as many faces as possible everywhere I go
This seems disturbed and disturbing, and not in a good way to relate to a crowd---kind of like sexual harrassment; or desperate attention seeking
No, I'm not a doctor, but I know when something seems over the top and inappropriate, and just wrong; again, like freedom without restraint, license to act mentally disturbed, and my license plate proves it. I think you might be the one that needs a "check up", and remember, not all doctors are created equal
Not long ago, I heard a well known bishop state that the reason same-gender-loving people are the way they are is because of spiritual and emotional brokenness. Because this minister is highly regarded and esteemed by thousands worldwide, it wasn’t long before other copy-cat-wanna-be bishops and aspiring televangelists picked up the phrase (coined it) and began to spread it on the internet and throughout the country like wildfire. Instead of arraying themselves in the fruits of the Spirit or putting on the full armor of God, they armed themselves with weapons of misinformation that perpetuates intolerance and preserves heterosexual privilege.
The manifestation of their labor bred only suffering, self-hatred (in same-gender-loving people) and dwindling congregations with no power, influence, and wasted gifts. By ignoring the true message of the Gospel, they continuously drive people away from Christ rather than to Him. Additionally, they imprison themselves in hatred, anger and ignorance and miss out on God’s amazing message of unconditional and life-giving love. How sad for those teachers of hate (or should I say of the LAW). Moreover, how sad for all the victims of lies and intolerance whose lives have been devastated!
To be honest with you, I did not realize how prevalent this type of spiritual malpractice was until I conducted a Google search on the subject and to my dismay, I discovered how widespread this ideology is in Christendom today. Even though it is said that same-gender-loving people are broken, current literature and most scholars in the field state that one’s sexual orientation is not a choice; that is, individuals do not choose to be homosexual or heterosexual. There is no scientific evidence that proves that dysfunctional parents, sexual abuse, adverse life events, or early childhood experiences dictate and determine sexual orientation.
However, negative life experiences may influence them to a certain degree, but they cannot override them! Those assumptions are now understood to have been based on misinformation and prejudice. No major mental health professional or organization has sanctioned efforts to change sexual orientation, and virtually all of them have adopted policy statements cautioning the profession and the public about treatments that purport to change sexual orientation.
After pondering the myth that one’s sexual orientation can be changed, I couldn’t help but think to myself, “I wonder how the heterosexual community would feel if someone told them that the reason they were black or heterosexual was because they were spiritually broken!” Trust me my brothers and sisters, if anyone dared make an outlandish statement like this, every African-American would be up in arms and ready to crucify the offenders! I realize that this comparison enrages many African-Americans who feel that the gay community has hijacked the Civil Rights movement to champion their cause and that I have no right to make such a comparison.
The interesting thing to note however, is that the Bible makes it very clear that ALL OF HUMANITY, IN GOD’S EYES, ARE BROKEN and in need of a REDEEMER! I find it amazing that the heterosexual faith community foolishly believes that God somehow excludes them from the fold because of some special heterosexual privilege.
My heart breaks year after year, as I witness my same-gender-loving brothers and sisters leaving the church by the thousands because of the spiritual blindness that handicaps our spiritual leaders and those who subscribe to their punitive legalistic doctrine. What is even worse is their refusal to acknowledge the fact that thousands of same-gender-loving people sit in their congregations and live in their communities.
These are severe consequences that eventually hurt and in some way impact us all! This dogmatic denial and disfranchisement of same-gender-loving people without a doubt is a prime reason why, as previously mentioned, many congregations dwindle each week and multitudes turn away from Christ because Christians have misrepresented Him out of their own prejudice, misinterpretation of Scripture, and homophobia.
When I consider the fact that 48% of African-American women between the ages of 14 and 49 could possibly be infected with the Herpes virus and that approximately 1.1 million adults and adolescents are living with HIV in the USA, including those not yet diagnosed, and those who have already progressed to AIDS (according to the CDC), I just want to scream! I just want to say to them, “Are you so blind that you cannot see that the very people you say you care about are being destroyed before your very eyes while you misappropriate your time and millions of your parishioner’s tithes and offerings to prevent same-gender-loving people from possessing equal rights. That very money you squander should be used to provide services that truly minister effectively to the real needs of people!”
Now here is the most tragic and ironic result of this misguided and misdirected thinking: Hundreds, if not thousands of the church’s parishioner’s access HIV/AIDS services primarily from the gay community because they are unequipped to provide these same services. It is literally safe to say that the gay community has effectively and compassionately saved the lives of thousands of their members for many years. Yet Sunday after Sunday, pastors and priests mount their pulpits without reservation, and without good sense, and boldly declare before all that these same caregivers are all hell bound because they are gay; not knowing anything about their personal relationship with the Creator at all!
Because same-gender loving people are considered “broken” by Christians and most of society, it is assumed that our relationships are also certainly broken in the eyes of God, and that we are the main cause for the deterioration of the family unit today, and are seen as the main culprit responsible for the high divorce rate among Christian heterosexual couples. But when you really consider what people are really saying when they make these kinds of unfounded claims, one cannot help but agree with Pastor Romell Weekly, a same-gender-loving man, who recently said, ?”
These are just a few reasons as to why I was inspired to write my first book, Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent and now, They Say That I Am Broken! Like Love Won’t Let Me Be Silent, this new literary endeavor didn’t just come to be as a result of intuitive or Divine inspiration alone, but was also birthed in the hearts of men and women around me who sacrificed their time, shared their hopes and dreams for a better tomorrow, expressed their concerns, and contributed their resources out of love for me and for all of humanity.

the thing about Rachel that's so aggravating, is that she is so obsessed with proving that
she is just as important as men that it negates her credibility; and her one sided biased views are so narrow it's just obvious she doesn't see the big picture, I'm not sure how she thinks she's helping America except to make sure everyone's happy; "let's open our arms to the world and just let everyone come on in..we'll have a welcome cake ready for them" she's so obsessed with her women are equal and equal rights for everyone agenda that she can't realize that sometimes you need to just assume your role in life... How could she care about the future of America when she will never have children of her own; while most of us can see where America's headed these people that are so obsessed with being different can't see what's really at stake; this is selfish and ignorant, but I don't think too many people take her that serious as her words pretty much put her in her own place, people can sense intuitively what's really going on and this is a woman obsessed with proving she's just as good or better than a man when no one ever said she wasn't in the first place. Her own agenda is skewing the reality of the real issues at stake..

The Ig Nobel Awards are the jokey tongue-in-cheek equivalent to the Nobel Awards – (though the decision to award president Obama the Nobel Prize for Peace just a few months after he had taken up office looks an even bigger ‘joke’ now than it did then)
This years Ig Nobel prizewinners include the researchers who found leaning to the left while looking at an oblect makes that object appear smaller, and researchers who found brain activity in a dead salmon.
The one that caught my eye though – and which has great commercial potential – is the SpeechJammer, a machine that . . . disrupts a person’s speech by playing it back with a very slight delay.
“It’s a small thing you aim at someone who is droning on and on . . . What the person hears is just off enough that it completely disconcerts and discombobulates them, and they stop talking. It has thousands of potential good uses.“
Yes, I can think of a few uses for a device of that kind !!!

MAFW playlists are shared, this means they are stored and exposed by the mafw-playlist-daemon, which makes them available for all MAFW based applications, that can access and manipulate them concurrently through its API.
Because the playlists are always remote objects stored and handled by a separate process, whenever the application needs to deal with a playlist there is a need for inter-process communications. However these communications are hidden to developers by using a proxy object. These proxy objects allow developers to interact with the playlists as if they were local objects, making the underlying communications with the playlist daemon transparent for the application developer.
Operations like creating or removing a playlist or obtaining the list of available playlists, are done through the MafwPlaylistManager object. This object acts as a proxy of the playlist daemon, for playlist related operations that do not deal with a particular playlist. A reference to this object can be obtained like this:
MafwPlaylistManager *manager = mafw_playlist_manager_get ();
The following sections explain in more detail how to use the MafwPlaylistManager and proxy playlist objects.

For more than 200 years, life at the College has been centered at its Cistern Yard. Here, in a sacred spot both at the heart of campus and downtown Charleston, magnificent buildings surround an incredible urban garden of live oaks and a large lawn. This is where generations of students have come to sit, paint, converse and study. This is where countless visitors have snapped pictures and thousands of graduates have skipped over a stage, donned in white dresses and white dinner jackets, their hands eagerly outstretched to accept hard-earned degrees.
This past May, more than 1,600 students and their families crowded the yard for the spring commencement ceremony. While the graduates’ achievements made the day significant enough, the audience was also able to take special delight in their surroundings. The College had just finished a nearly four-year project to restore and preserve the buildings of the Cistern Yard – and Randolph Hall, Towell Library and Porters Lodge have never looked better.
It’s perhaps most accurate to describe the painstaking work on these landmark buildings as artistry, plain and simple. Tradesmen were challenged to make repairs to the buildings while preserving the weathered patina on each façade. In areas where new stucco was applied over brick walls, workers scored the patches by hand and carefully painted the area with varying shades of lime wash to achieve a seamless blend.
Each and every door, window and shutter on the buildings was removed, restored and re-installed. Additionally, each light, or pane, of glass was removed from the windows to enable wood repairs. On Randolph Hall alone this meant the removal of more than 120 windows. Some of these windows had accumulated more than 35 layers of paint and featured sashes of 25 panes over 25 panes.
Other important work on Randolph Hall included the repair and partial replacement of the building’s terra-cotta capitals. Shipped down from Massachusetts in the 1850s when Charleston architect Edward Brickell White designed a southern portico for Randolph Hall (known as Main Building then), the capitals are some of the earliest pieces of architectural terra cotta in the country.
Repairs were also made to Randolph Hall’s slate roof, as well as to the slate roofs above Towell Library and Porters Lodge. New copper gutters and downspouts were installed on all three buildings, and deteriorated brownstone was replaced and repaired as needed. All three buildings also received new tension rods, otherwise known as earthquake bolts, to provide enhanced structural support.
These repairs and more were accomplished using a $3.7 million appropriation from the State. This money, in addition to resources from the College, was also used to improve the landscaping within the College’s historic campus, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971. A new lawn and plantings, dramatic nighttime lighting and improved irrigation systems and walkways now complement the showcase buildings. The upkeep and maintenance of these buildings, as well as the scores not listed on the National Register but of historical significance, is one of the top priorities for the College.
“The College of Charleston has 80 buildings over 100 years old and several that are over 200 years old. They have stood the test of time through natural disasters, wars and economic turmoil,” says President P. George Benson. “These buildings truly represent the rich and interwoven histories of the College and the City of Charleston. And as the city’s largest historic preservationist, we take very seriously our obligation to preserve and protect them.
“Restoring these national treasures,” President Benson adds, “ensures that they will be enjoyed by students, faculty, staff and visitors for generations to come.”

I'd love if that was pulled into 3.1.1 or 4.0. The place i work is making everyone transition to a VoIP system very soon and i need audio to work on my laptop. The thought of running some other OS in a VM just to get audio is just horrifying to me. Please, save me from such a fate! :)

I wholeheartedly support this idea in theory. But it seems scary in practice. We would need to run all automatic and manual AWT regression tests on at least all major WMs (Metacity, Kwin, Compiz, and (sic!) CDE - as long as we support Solaris CDE desktops, not sure if this is relevant to JDK 8 though) to ensure no regressions arise. Note that we have to test this with quite old versions of the WMs, e.g. Metacity from Gnome 2.6 (or is it 2.4?) - this is what Solaris 10 has to offer, etc. And ideally we would also want to test on all those forgotten/rare creatures like SawFish, Motif, Enlightenment, etc. This looks like a lot of work for such a simple fix. However, your current fix looks pretty safe and is fully consistent with our current XAWT code. Artem, what's your opinion? -- best regards, Anthony

Sure, you can write your scripts in any language. But, what of your script uses a Python 2.6 feature and you happen to be deploying to a platform that has 2.4? Welcome to the world of today, of major Linux distributions. Of course, I'm recommending Bash here, but it has a lot of the same problems. There are differences between *BSD, GNU and Solaris userland that can make or break. I guess I prefer Bash because these differences are old, documented and stable. "Agile" languages are quickly moving targets for deployment. My problem with Chef was first installing it: getting dependencies at their right versions, and then making sure that clients and servers had the exact same version, because Chef spits out strange error messages if it doesn't. The promise of Chef/Puppet is really nice -- to abstract the painful differences between deployment targets. But I think the projects themselves have a ways to go. -Tal On 09/23/2010 09:03 AM, sheila miguez wrote: > > what happened? > > also, I thought people also wrote recipes in python? > >> On Sep 23, 2010 1:05 AM, "Tal Liron" <tal.liron at threecrickets.com >> <mailto... >> > > _______________________________________________ > Chicago mailing list > Chicago at python.org >

Hey I got linked to your idea by David Malcolm on his plugin mailing list. I am looking to apply to Gsoc once again this year i have done gsoc 2010 and 2011 on GCC implementing my own GCC front-end for python which is still in very early stages since its a huge task. But i am tempted to apply to this project to implement a more self contained project to give back to the community more promptly while that hacking on my own front-end on my own timer. And i think it would benefit me to get to understand in more detail different aspects of python which is what i need and would gain very much experience from. I was wondering if you could give me some more details on how this could all work i am not 100% familiar with cython but i think i understand it to a good extend from playing with it for most of my evening. I just want to make sure i understand the basic use case of this fully, When a user could have something like: -header foo.h extern int add (int, int); -source foo.c #include "foo.h" int add (int x, int y) { return x+y; } We use the plugin to go over the decls created and create a pxd file like: cdef int add (int a, int b): return a + b Although this is a really basic example i just want to make sure i understand whats going on. Maybe some more of you have input? I guess this would be best suited as a proposal for Python rather than GCC? --Phil

I have finally made the final, real release of MySQLdb-0.2.2. See: Among other things, there's real transaction support (needs MySQL-3.23.15+), and a CompatMysqldb module which should be a drop-in replacement for MySQLmodule's Mysqldb, for those of you with legacy code. Consider this bit experimental. Some of the _mysql API has changed a bit, which will foul up anything which uses it (i.e. Zope ZMySQLDA). There's probably a bunch of other stuff I don't remember, but shouldn't cause any problems. --!"

Hi! This is a (very small) bug report for 2.0beta4 (no showstopper). I just tried to subscribe to the python announce list on <URL:> (where Mailman 2.0beta4 is running) and entered an email address and two differing passwords. Then I clicked on "Subscribe" and received a reply ("Python-announce-list Subscription results: Your passwords did not match.") in one HTML file containing this same message *three* times. I can't imagine this was your intention, so I thought I'd let you know. I'm not subscribed to mailman-developers any more, so please Cc: me, if you've got some more questions for me. Have fun, Uli

"Friendly" interface. To be a "friendly" is to consider oneself equal with his friends. If you want your friend to do something for you, you ASK him, not ORDER him. Developer is one who want be a master of his programs, not a friend. So, best interface for developer machine is slavy one, not friendly. Programs are to obey orders, not to carry out friendly talks. Really, it is true for any user, not just developer. But ignorant users can consider friendlyness helpful. They need even more than friendliness, they need patronage. But developer is by definition a person, who know something about informational technologies. So, arrogance of "frienly" interface is unbearable for him. He knows what we wants his machine to do, and when he sees that machine has its own opinion, as "friendly" interface should and do, it becomes very irritating. --

[Michael Chermside] > ... > I wish we'd caught this before 2.3. Have you confirmed that a problem exists? I haven't tried. If there is, it should have been caught: the release PEP makes clear that the Windows installer should be run with and without admin privs, and using targets with and without embedded spaces. It's my fault that this wasn't done -- there simply wasn't enough "spare time" to run the full course with this release, and I consumed all the time I could make for it intensely testing a single installation. Speaking of which, that doesn't look likely to change anytime soon, so if someone else is willing to take over the PLabs Windows installer, it's yours. Overall, it's in very good shape. Whoever is interested should also consider switching to InnoSetup (and there's a patch on SF moving closer toward that end). > Unfortunately, I usually avoid "Program Files" for exactly this reason, and > I'm guessing other testers did the same. Most people accept the defaults. "Program Files" is fine for an end-user app, but for a tool that's going to get used from scripts and command shells, a path with an embedded space is just begging for needless problems. For that reason, if IDLE does have a problem with embedded spaces, I really don't care.

Thanks for the help. It's not homework but from an old exam paper, but the girl's English isn't absolutely fluent and I'm looking for a simple way to explain the expressions and functions. FRAN

- Willamette
- College of Liberal Arts
- Studio Art
Studio Art
Mission Statement
The Studio Art Program at Willamette University aims to introduce students to a wide variety of media, materials and genres. In keeping with goals of the Liberal Arts Education, Art is taught in an interdisciplinary way, and our curriculum emphasizes the development of technique and craftsmanship as well as theory and conceptualization in the context of the Fine Arts. Our program is designed specifically to encourage students to question and expand their understanding of what art is, how it affects the viewer, and how it is made. Students are guided towards seeing the arts as a means of exploring the world around them, a way of finding and defining their own place in that world, and a vehicle for communicating that understanding to others. Students develop skill in using art as a visual, symbolic, formal and expressive language. The department sees an awareness of an appreciation for process as being a key component of art practice. The program addresses both the artistic and verbal/written skills students need to succeed in the arts, and supports student development with introductory to advanced courses, culminating in a thesis project.
The following information describes expectations for the Studio Art major at Willamette University:
- The Studio Art program is designed to provide both breadth and depth in your development as an artist. The program places emphasis on an understanding of general art concepts through a variety of courses including foundation studies, drawing, and two- and three-dimensional studies. In addition, students are required to take art history courses. Later in the program, students focus their development in an area of specialty. The program prepares students for their final thesis project created in Senior Seminar, the apex course for the Art Major. See the course catalog for the specific requirements of the major and variety of subjects and media available for exploration.
- Students who declare a Studio Art major are asked to take a foundation course their first semester, Advanced Media and Design in the spring of their junior year, Writing for Artists and Senior Seminar their senior year, and balance the remaining program requirements with guidance from their advisors. It is highly encouraged that students declare their major by the beginning of their sophomore year and have at least three studio courses taken by the start of their junior year.
- Course projects are regularly displayed in the Art Building and elsewhere on campus. In addition, the Student Art Coordinator facilitates special group exhibitions each semester. Art Majors are encouraged to regularly exhibit their work on campus and beyond.
- In conjunction with Student Scholarship Recognition Day and the Senior Art Majors exhibit, all junior Art Majors participate in the Spring Review Exhibition in the Student Gallery in the Art Building in April. Students formally present their works for review by their peers and the studio faculty.
- Studio Art Majors enroll in Senior Seminar in the fall and spring of their senior year. Students and faculty members meet as a group in weekly classroom sessions to develop senior thesis projects and discuss current issues in the arts. The thesis project builds upon art skills and strategies developed during the years in the program. Regular meetings with advisors encourage students to move beyond ordinary coursework to a new level of commitment and originality for the thesis project. Senior Art Majors present their final thesis project in the Senior Exhibition at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art each April. This is one of the most popular and heavily attended museum exhibitions of the year. A final group critique session is scheduled in which students present their work to faculty and peers.
- The Department strives to maintain contact with alumni in an effort to track our graduates' on-going work in the arts or other fields. Please keep us informed of your experiences beyond Willamette.
Further questions may be referred to faculty advisors and the Department Chair.

Gap's new Stay fragrance is a light, wearable version of summer floral. Courtesy photo.
If you're looking for a light new summer fragrance to love, Gap is betting they have your solution.
Rolling out to stores right now, Stay is Gap's gentle new scent formulated to smell bright and floral-y without overwhelming you -- or the people around you.
"With Stay, we wanted to embody the freshness of a summer evening. Its bright, light scent is like a whisper on the skin, making that ephemeral, perfect summer moment last all year long," says Patrick Robinson, Gap's EVP of Design.
With top notes of green hydrangea and soft freesia, Stay's middle notes go subtle with light blue lotus and blooming white peony. The two key bottom notes of amber musk and driftwood are blended to balance out the florals, and to keep the scent on the delicate side.
We're loving the placid blue packaging, which reminds us of sunny beach days under a cloudless and blue open sky. Yet funny enough, it wasn't the turquoise of oceans or summer skies that inspired the Gap folks to come up with this shade -- rather, it was the hue chosen by Pantone as the color of the year for 2010.
They're not alone; from Chanel's Nail Vernis in Nouvelle Vague to Nars' light, wearable Duo Cream Eyeshadow in Burn It Blue, turquoise is a major summer color must-wear.
While the 3.5 and 1.7 fl oz bottles are available from $25 to $35, we suggest dipping your toes with the .33 oz bottle priced at a budget-friendly $8.50, before you make a fuller commitment to the scent.
Because, after all -- us women are all about options. In related news, be sure to check out which model is the new face of Prada's scent.

I think painting the mirror white or the darker green would pop quite nicely! I very much like the fixtures you chose for your lighting!
I very much like them too. Those were from Schoolhouse Electric.
I think a shiny dark green on the mirror would look great!
I love it so far!
that print is super adorable!!
The mirror frame would look fabulous in black!
I concur….. A matt black would be lovely and picks out the black in the zig-zag accessories and light fixtures.
:O)
What about the Light blue you painted the basement door? It would be a little bit of cheer to brighten the space up.
Not a bad idea…
Are the stripes on the little lamps black? If so I’d say black. Looking good!
Yes, and on the towel too.
This is what I was thinking.
What’s that little first aid kit? Does it mount on the wall?
It does.
I agree with the above posters that the mirror would look great in black, but how about a pale pink to reference the other areas of the basement space. Or a similar pinkish-beige to reference the background of the art?
I vote for a deep peony pink on the mirror! Or maybe a fun clock like this one:
Fun!
That was my thought. A deep, bright pink.
jbhat
Normally I love pink and green, but I’m not sure I’d like it with a green as olive-y as the one in here.
Super cute shoes! Where are they from?
J. Crew, last year.
yes, great shoes! That is the first thing that popped into my mind.
I was going to comment on the shoes too – love them!
Why is your tiny basement bathroom so much cuter than any of the ones in my house?
The basement bathroom is the cutest one in the house now. We should start sending guests down there if they need to use the facilities!
where is that first aid kit from?? its adorable!
I wrote about it here.
BLACK! Shiny!
I think light pink for the mirror to tie in with the pink walls just outside. Though white would look great, too. I’m not thrilled with a dark green. I think you need more contrast (and lighter accessories).
I like the pink idea (always a fan of pink), and stevie’s suggestion of light blue in a comment above too.
Love how the bathroom is turning out! (And also love your shoes!)
Love how the bathroom is coming along. I vote for a black mirror.
I am loving your shoes though! Where are they from?
J. Crew. They’re a little tight now though — I’m hoping my feet go back to their former pre-pregnancy size so I can continue to wear them.
I vote black for the mirror frame!
Just found this blog and LOVE it! Where did you get the print that says “you look lovely today”? I absolutely adore it. Also, I think a white would look awesome on that mirror. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks! I wrote about the print here, jokingly saying that it would take the place of a mirror..
Oh my goodness I love that print! Off to purchase it now…
I came to the site from my reader just to comment that you should most certainly paint the mirror black…but then I read the other comments and I was swayed by the deep peony pink!
or what about a metallic finish? just to brighten it up in there without totally bringing in another color? so, silver? (maybe it’s your shoes that inspired me!)
I’m totally distracted by the sparkly goodness that’s going on down by your tootypegs. Where, oh where did you find those???
I love that shade of green with light blue. Maybe light blue is an option for the mirror and a few accessories?
love that print, especially for the bathroom!
whatever color you choose for the mirror, have you considered martha’s new metallic paints?
I was honestly thinking a metallic silver color would look good.
i love the color it is now in that photo!
I think the mirror would still look really great painted yellow. It would be a nice pop of color!
my first thought was that color that the Youngsters at Young House Love painted their built-ins…Dragonfly by Benjamin Moore.
although I think the peony would be awesome.
Def. black for the mirror.
I vote for the laundry room blue, just a little touch of Tiffany :)
Paint the mirror Peony!! Pink has never been a bad choice for you *it’s your signature color!*
A must say that a peony pink mirror would make me swoon a little. It would be so you! :)
Have you not considered white for the mirror? I like the idea of a lighter color with the green, although black would look nice too.
i vote the light blue or black. white would be nice, but think of all the dusting in those little nooks and crannies. >.<
Wow – so many good suggestions. Are you feeling overwhelmed? I think whatever you choose, it will look great and all will be envious. Another commentor suggested white and another pink. What about a super pale, pale blush pink? Mmmm, can’t wait to see!
I am not always a proponent of black but I think it would look very sharp in your adorable bathroom.
The mirror frame in black would looh very sculptural and match nicely with the other accessories.
black. it would bring out the details in your sconces so nicely.
Shiny silver! Is there such a thing as silver leaf?
i vote white or black.
How about silver?
I vote for a bright medium blue color. Sounds crazy at first, but look at this color palette from Emily Henderson:
Its blue with green, but you could do something of the reverse and I bet it would look great!
It’s coming together nicely. I vote silver for the mirror because of the fixtures.
What about red?
Silver, blue or red (especially if they are near your washer/dryer.
Black
Love that frame! Wherever did you find it?
And your sparkly shoes are too cute! :)

This week has seen me spending a lot of time in front of the computer with a weird cold (It’s weird because I felt awful but it was never a full-blown cold). I’ve been catching up on silly achievement things that Millya hadn’t done yet. For instance, I had to get Vidyala the reputation to buy the schematic to make this bad boy:
In actual fact, I don't think Millya would ever have a license plate that says "pwn" because it's not grammatically correct.
So I’ve been having fun creating noise pollution and generally looking badass (come on, you can’t tell me that doesn’t look badass) and not really writing anything of my own… But I have read some blog posts lately that are worth a look if you’ve missed them!
Heavy Wool Bandage wrote about Intellect Issues – not the stat. To me, this post is a reminder to have patience with everyone who is playing and think about the things you say. We’re all playing for different reasons and with different skill-sets, and sometimes it’s easy to forget. That’s different, not “better.”
I’m not linking to a specific post, but in case you missed this news, Jaedia is blogging again at Jaedia’s Menagerie after a hiatus. Drop by and say hi!
Kamalia posted an image of a curly-haired Tauren I just love. You may have guessed from my own character, but I like curly hair. It’d be great to see some new Tauren hairstyles in general.
Akabeko at Red Cow Rise wrote a short fic about an archaelogy item that’s bothered me, too. I found it poignant and sad.
Finally, Shintar shares some of her pug stories from recently. They aren’t horror ones, either, further reminder that sometimes pugs are just fine. (I think we all need that from time to time).
Voss and I booked our hotel for our trip at the end of June. We’re not going to Blizzcon, but we are going to Vancouver and we’ll meet three guildies/WoW folks during the trip! I don’t usually do this, but I’m trying to build a buffer of posts to schedule for while I’m away. If you have any requests or ideas for posts or things you’d like to see here, let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do! No promises, but the muse could use a bit of a hand right now.
Thank you for the link! I’ve been sitting on that post for a while and finally decided it was time to share
*Big hugs* for the link love! Thank you
Thanks for the link!
As for post suggestions, well, you know I always enjoyed reading your pug stories as well…
You still need to be allowed to say “Aaaayy!” like The Fonz when riding that chopper, but that’s just me.
Thanks for providing the links!
Grats on getting your chopper! Woo-hoo!
Thanks for the link! X!

A severe thunderstorm may have brought relief from high temperatures, but it also left thousands without power in Monmouth and Ocean counties Saturday evening.
Over 50,000 customers had lost power by 8:45 p.m., according to Jersey Central Power & Light and Atlantic Electric.
Toms River was among the worst hit, with over 11,000 without power. Howell Township had over 8,600 customers in the dark and Brick had more than 2,800. Wall had nearly 800 in the dark.
Atlantic Electric reported than more than 3,000 customers lost power in Manhawkin. The company's outage map is here.
Berkeley Township was relatively unscathed, with minimal power outages in some sections of town, Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. said.
However, township parks and recreation department workers were out shortly after the storm, helping to clear roads where trees had fallen, the mayor said.
Residents can call the Berkeley Township Police Department to report power outages or downed trees at 732-341-6600 or JCP&L at: 1-888-544-4877
In the eastern part of the Monmouth County, Bradley Beach was most impacted, with 3,200 customers without power--nearly all JCP&L's customers in the borough. Eatontown had 1,340 households without power and Red Bank had just over 1,000.
JCP&L makes information on outages available on its Web site.

We were on a lagoon in Normandy Beach. We watched the storm come across the bay and it was amazing. Wind was blowing heavy outdoor furniture across decks, inflatable pools were flying (one was caught in the wires on a pole on 35!) and the lightning was spectacular. One side of the lagoon lost power and then our side did. The rain was fierce and for a while you just couldn't see out the windows. Then it was over the ocean and the sun was setting over the bay in a bright orange sky and their was a rainbow over the ocean with lightning bolts all around it. It was absolutely amazing!

10:21 am on Sunday, July 8, 2012
Four large trees down, big dent in quarter panel of car when large fence gate let go, busted up umbrella and patio table and several days of cleanup and large trees, 75 footers to cut up.Yuk! Cat is OK though! Neighbors very large tree took the pool heater and filter out. Other neighbor lost 9 solar panels. 75 mph winds? I think much more than that where I am in TR.

Live in Silverton, saw the clouds started to roll in and closed everything up. Lots of lightning, a few short bursts of really heavy wind and rain, but overall the storm didn't seem too bad. Lights went out for a split second and came right back on. I have not seen any damage from the storm. All our outdoor furniture stayed put, no trees came down or lost limbs, wires are all intact.

WINNER: LESLIE B83!
Book: Best Kept Secret
Author: Amy Hatvany
It’s time for June’s Blast-O-Books and I want to kick it off with one of the best and most thought-provoking books I’ve read in a really long time. Best Kept Secret by Amy Hatvany was heart-breaking and uplifting all at the same time. At the center of this novel is Cadence, a single-mom who is trying the best that she can to get through her days raising a whirlwind of a happy little boy and working in freelance writing. When life becomes more and more difficult, and she starts suffering from insomnia, and work is not coming for her, a glass of wine at night helps her to sleep. That glass of wine becomes two and three, which then turns into a couple of bottles a night. Within a year, she is a full-blown alcoholic on the verge of losing the most important thing in her life: her son Charlie.
I was drawn to this book for so many reasons. As a mom to three children very close in age, I know what it’s like to need something to calm the nerves when you’re at your wit’s end, when you think you might blow a gasket over spilled milk. I also discovered that two of my absolute favorite authors, Emily Giffin and Sarah Pekkanen have already read, loved and blurbed Best Kept Secret. And of course, there have been times in my own life that I have blogged about being unable to care for my own children because I’ve been too hung over. So this book hit home for me, and I’m very confident that Best Kept Secret will unearth feelings in every single woman who’s ever had a sip of wine, or felt like she’s not doing the best job at motherhood, or maybe has been unsure about everything in life she thought she had a handle on.
Here is a Q&A I did with Amy, which was very kind of her to take the time seeing as her book debuts on Tuesday! Thanks Amy!
Me: I'm soaring through Best Kept Secret, and if I didn't have 3 kids and a busy schedule with them, I would have cleared my days and finished it by now. I am in love with little Charlie and my heart breaks for Cadence, who has what I can see, was a slow-growing yet serious drinking problem. What I love about this book is that I think all mothers of young children can see a part of themselves in Cadence, whether they find themselves craving a glass of wine, a Xanax, or even needing to satiate their nerves with a pile of carbohydrates. What do you think?
Amy: You are very sweet! I’m happy you’ve been drawn into the story, and I think you’re absolutely right. My hope in writing the book was that women might see the similarities they share with Cadence, rather than the differences, you know? Because I think it’s pretty easy and automatic to look at a mother with a drinking problem and say, “oh, I’d never do that; I’d never be her.” But I don’t know a mother out there who doesn’t look for some kind of escape from the constant emotional, mental, and physical demands of caring for children - toddlers, especially! Whether it’s in a glass of wine, a carton of ice cream, or online shopping - the indulgence is motivated by the same need - to soothe inner turmoil. I hoped that in creating a character who readers can relate to on many different levels, I might also create a better understanding and sense of empathy for how Cadence ends up with a drinking problem, and how much vicious judgment and stigma she had to fight against in order to get well.
Me: What inspired Best Kept Secret? How much of the book was drawn from real life experience?
Amy: While the plot and characters are fiction, I was inspired to write the book based on my own experiences of being a mother and an alcoholic. The emotional experiences Cadence has are much like what I went through - the guilt, the shame, the denial and disbelief that I couldn’t just figure out a way to stop drinking on my own. I’d had a lot of success in my life before that point, and I didn’t understand how in the world I couldn’t just put an end to a behavior that was so obviously destroying me.
I am very much like Cadence in that I maintained a very happy, confident exterior for the rest of the world to see, but subconsciously, I struggled with feelings of loneliness and fear. I was such a convincing actress, though, I couldn’t articulate or maybe wasn’t even aware of those feelings. I had gone through a terrible divorce, and like Cadence, developed a bad case of insomnia. I never really drank much before that point, so that first glass of wine relaxed me and seemed like an easy solution to my sleeping issues. Of course, I didn’t understand how easily I’d build a physical tolerance to alcohol, and how dependent I’d become on the mental and emotional “escape” my nightly big-ass goblet of wine gave me from the pressure of single motherhood. Eventually, I, too, came to a point where I had a stare down with a bottle of pills, unsure if I really wanted to continue living, but the thought of my children growing up without me was what led me to finally ask for help. I’ve been sober almost six years, and I know it sounds strange to say, I feel like my spiral into drinking was one of the best things that could have happened for me. It woke me up. And it gave me the inspiration to write the book and let other women know they are not alone in this kind of struggle.
Me: What was the hardest part about writing Best Kept Secret? Easiest?
Amy: The hardest part was definitely revisiting the shame and guilt of what it is like to drink in front of a child. The thought of alcohol really does make me ill, now, so having to go back to the time when I was drinking every day and remembering what it felt like - the physical sensations, and then the emotional backlash that always immediately followed - was extremely difficult.
I think the easiest part was writing the scenes with Cadence and Charlie, showing how they were connected, how much she adores him, and he loves and needs her. I have an incredible relationship with my children, and all I had to do was pull that feeling up, and those scenes just kind of appeared on the page. (Plus, my son actually did call them “blueberry stones” instead of “blueberry scones”!) My life with my children is filled with so many tender, wonderful moments, and getting to infuse Cadence and Charlie’s relationship with those kinds of emotions was my favorite aspect of writing the story.
Me: You've written two previous books (The Language of Sisters and The Kind of Love That Saves You) under another name, Amy Yurk, and I can’t wait to read those two books! I also noticed you focus on really hard topics in your novels - mental retardation, rape, death, alcoholism, divorce, single parenthood. Yet it seems that there are hopeful messages within. Why do you think you tackle the tough stuff?
Amy: Ha! Perhaps I’m a masochist? (Kidding!!) That’s a great question, actually. And it may sound kind of cheesy to say, but I really do believe that all the growth I’ve ever experienced in my life has been rooted in the tough things I’ve gone through, so that’s what interests me. How characters develop as a result of a significant event - especially how we, as women in our culture, are faced with so many challenges and what we do to rise up and face them every day. Anne Lamott says, “There’s no point in writing hopeless novels. We all know we’re going to die; what’s important is the kind of men and women we are in the face of this," and I think that’s why I write the books I do. How we tackle what life throws our way is what defines who we are - and exploring those kinds of journeys is the work that brings me joy; finding a way to see hope in the darkest of circumstances is such a powerful quality for characters to discover within themselves.
I also think that writing about the tough stuff helps readers (and me!) feel maybe a little less alone in whatever we struggle with. To read something and feel, “Oh, I’m not the only person to ever have those thoughts/feelings,” brings about a sense of connection that I cherish when I read other authors’ works. And that’s the fundamental reason I write - to connect.
Me: When you have time to read, who are your favorite authors to read?
Amy: Oh, there are too many to list! But I never miss anything by Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, or Elizabeth Berg. I also love Joyce Maynard, Elizabeth Strout, T. Greenwood, Sarah Pekkanen…the list goes on and on! I read mostly commercial and literary women’s fiction, though Laura Hillenbrand’s UNBROKEN was the last non-fiction piece I dove into. She is a phenomenal woman, and I hugely admire her work.
Me: You've got two more books coming -- what are they about?
Amy: Yes! OUTSIDE THE LINES is due out in February, 2012, and tells the story of a woman searching for her homeless and mentally ill father, whom she has been estranged from for twenty years. It’s told in alternating viewpoints of both the daughter and father, past and present, which was a departure for me as a writer and I am very pleased with how it turned out.
The one I’m currently working on is as yet unnamed. It explores what happens when a woman is suddenly and unexpectedly thrust into the role of full-time mother and is forced to confront the complicated reasons behind her previously hard-fast decision to remain childless.
Me: Thanks Amy for sharing your amazing novel and your life with us! And I can’t wait to read your next novels!
To enter to win Best Kept Secret, share one of your best kept secrets – it can be funny – you don’t have to make it serious in order for you to enter to win the book! One of my best kept secrets is that when my husband is out of town, I will keep the house a total mess until like an hour before he is supposed to be home, then we all rush around to whip the house into shape. I’m like the mom who is really the babysitter – let the kids stay up late, we eat junk food, watch bad TV, go out for ice cream and pizza all of the time! Then when Dad gets home from being out of town, it’s time to be the real mom again!
What’s your best kept secret?!
PeaCe uP!

O you are so sneaky, getting this posted while I was sleeping; I've been watching & waiting for your first Blast O-Book interview!!!
Secret? Hmmmm.... Probably how badly my husband treated me. I cared for him while he was dying and that in itself isolated me from nearly everyone because I had no *time*, but because of medication and dementia he was often abusive and cruel, and I was embarrassed and ashamed to let my family know this. (Yeah, it will go into my book, and I totally understand what Amy said about personal growth being rooted in what one has gone through.)
My best kept secret is that I want to move out of Chicago. The weather here is terrible. I don't tell anyone that I want to move somewhere else because this is where my entire family lives. We will never move away from everyone.

My best kept secret is the hidden chocolate I have that my son or husband don't know about :)
I absolutely love your best kept secret! What a fun mom you are! My best kept secret is I failed my last statistics class in graduate school and did not graduate on time. I found out less than 24 hours from graduation so I didn't tell many people that I didn't graduate. BUT last Friday I actually did finish it. So all's well that ends well :)
I think it's just some of my frustrations as a mother. I stay at home, but don't always love it (or even want to). I love my kids, but some days the thought of being with them makes me insane.

Well if I told you it wouldn't be my best kept secret, now would it? ;)
How about I just tell you a secret? I secretly hate when other women tell me how they couldn't be a sahm 'cause they crave the social to much...drives me nuts. As if I don't. I crave it too, I'll talk to anyone...stranger who comes knocking on my door beware I will talk to you all day if you let me! lol. I'm so sick of barney, dora, elmo--I hate the songs in my head! My husband gets home and wants to talk about his day and I sit and think how wonderful it would be to talk to real grown-ups when ever you wanted. I almost never have Laura time and I miss her, oh how I miss Laura. So that is one of my secrets. I don't want to hear how people can't do it. I'm very interested in this book, because I'm not a drinker but I'm an eater. I have put my little kids in the car (I have 4 total ranging 20, 14, 4, 2) and cracked open a diet coke and a chocolate bar thinking take me away for just a few mins take the edge off the stress I'm feeling having just finished grocery shopping with screaming kids. And when mine are good and some other women is struggling with a screaming kid I want to hug her and say it's ok your not along.
My best kept secret? Hm...
Everyone in my family has been telling me for years I need to write a book or keep a blog. While I haven't written a book yet, I have been keeping a blog for two months and no one in my family knows about it.
My best kept secret - when I get stressed out and overwehlmed, I CRY. I go into a room, lock the door and all out SOB. Maybe happens once a year or once every other year, but it's therapeutic for me and I feel a ton better afterwards. This book sounds like a great read - thanks so much for doing these contests, it's really fun to learn about all of the great books out there :)
This book really speaks to me ~ I've been through those days and through the mercy of God and self-control can enjoy a drink in moderation; but I was probably teetering on the brink there for a while when I got divorced and was left with 3 young kids.
My BKS would probably be that when my husband is out of town, like you MM, we have movie marathons, sleep overs, eat ice cream before dinner and in general PARTY!! Kids and I love it and we always right the ship just before he walks in the door. :)
Thanks MM!!
My best kept secret is that I really hate my best friend's fiance. He is a worthless drunk and she can do so much better. I didn't say anything when she got engaged because I thought for sure it wasn't going to last. But now she is having his baby and it is too late for me to say anything. I fear she is ruining her life :(
My best kept secret? It would be that I'm not the super easy going, relaxed mom that everyone thinks I am-my kids know I'm a yeller, & I do it way more than I should.
I HAVE had best kept secrets...until I tell someone. I guess my WORST kept secret is that I have a hard time keeping (my own) secrets.
My best kept secret? I'd kind of like to move to Ireland.... but shh don't tell my mom.
I don't wash my hair every day. But I do shave my legs!
With this crappy economy we are on a VERY tight budget. We take our lunches to work...no eating out. But on occasion I will stop at a fast food chain for the dollar menu.
Nicole
My BKS would probably have to be that my husband is very anti letting our son sleep in our bed. However, anytime he works late at work, I'll bring our son to bed with me...my husband will move him back to his bed and in the morning say, "Did you know Avery came into our room last night?"! :)
kndyer
My best kept secret? That's just for me...another secret is that I sneak junk food (fast food, candy, etc.) when my boyfriend's not around and then I only make healthy food at home. :)
My best kept secret is that I can't stand my sister in law! She was lingering on the fringe of my brother's friends forever- he dated and was in love with HER best friend. After a few serious and damaging heartbreaks, there she was again. I truly feel my brother settled thinking he wouldn't find anyone. Wow, that felt good to share- I could never say anything to my family.

My secret is that I have a blog.

Hope this isn't too late.... My best kept secret is that I pretty bad a spelling, however everyone I know thinks I'm great at it... Spell-check!
It is till such a well kept secret I wo't say it here!
my BKS is that i live with my boyfriend who is my company's biggest client and no one at work knows that we're together. we've been a couple for nearly 4 years, we bought our house two years ago this month and all of this has been done under the radar!
I can't tell you... that's why it's a secret! haha! I really would have to think hard about this one. The best I can come up with is wanting out of my current job and into a job I love. I am thankful for my job, its not bad, its just not what I would LOVE to be doing. Great interview!!
cozyreadertiff
Well love the new mantra! It is words to live by really! ok my best kept secret is that I'd really love to go back to school to get my RN. Whenever any one asks I act like it isn't a big deal and not a real priority but deep down I'd really love to do it! And I plan to start when my daughter goes to kindergarten! :)
My best kept secret...that I read books out of the kid section at the library. It's not the biggest secret, but it's pretty good.
AND....
Our county library is going to start charging annual fees, so our lame city library will have to do this summer.
My best kept secret is a diary/journal that is well hidden from eyes and I write whatever I feel in it. Lyrics,random thoughts etc. It helps to get out those emotions once in a while.

My bid is that when my hubby is out of town I take my self on dates. Whether it's go out shopping or make my self a fabulous dinner, I do it for me.
Oh yeah, and I want to open a bakery!
My best kept secret is that every Saturday when my husband is spending the day with his friends in stead of doing something around the house or spending with me (which I used to let bother me) I now look forward to as a time to forget housework and all but basic needs for me and the kids. He thinks it is still an issue with me, but I figure if he is going to goof off for one whole day per week then I deserve the same time off. When you are a stay at home mom you can't leave the work and stress at the office it's always there. I realized that it's ok to let things go for a day and as long as the kids are fed and safe then the day is good. The rest of the day is mine to decompress.
sounds like an amazing book! count me in!
my bks...my husband and i keep a list of all the crazy things we find funny. we've been doing this ever since we started dating and haven't stopped. i give him a printout of the list on our wedding anniversary and we look back and laugh at all our inside jokes.
Hmm, this one is hard. but I'm sure everybody does it...like sneak ice cream behind my daughter's back because I don't want to have any or even from my friends and co-workers because I'm suppose to be on a diet.
This was actually the secret I kept for the longest time. I finally told my brother and parents a few years back...When we were younger, my brother had a BB gun and we would go outside to play with it. One day we were outside with one of my brother's friends and I thought I would see if I could hit the neighbor's van. I never heard the BB's hit so I kept shooting. Come to find out, I had been shooting the windshield. My brother in his friend got in trouble for it and had to work all summer to pay for a new windshield.

My best kept secret...or at least I thought it was until people started calling me on it is that I have this inner 16 year old inside me that wants to still watch tween movies and tv shows even at 32! LOL!
I have a deeeeeeep love for Reese pb cups. Each Sunday morning I get Up before my husband and kids and enjoy one with a cup of tea....in the quiet morning hours.
My BKS... I hate the small town my husband and I live in. It's his dream to live here and I secretly fear he will never want to move!
my best kept secret, which i guess only about 2 people know is that i am totally always afraid of losing my job. always.
It would be that I'm not the super mom that my mother thinks I am. My little one knows, but she loves me too peices anyway! I expect way too much from a 3 year old... plus I am yeller when she won't listen, & I do it way more than I should.
xx(fingers crossed)
~Nattygirrl
Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I cry on the way into work. My daughter has a heart condition & I'm afraid one day I'll get that horrifying phone call and not make it home in time.
My best kept secret is similar to your example. First, I do that too, when my husband is gone I'm a slob until he gets home (except we don't have children so I don't have any accomplices like you). But my actual secret is that when my husband is out of town I let our dogs sleep in the bed with me. My husband absolutely refuses to let them sleep with us BUT when the cat's away, the mice will play...
Thanks for doing another book giveaway, maybe I'll win one this time!

I am afraid of finding a job. There, I said it. I am dying to teach my own classroom again but after being pink slipped so many times I am afraid that I am one of those horrible teachers that people talk about. I haven't told anyone that while I apply for everything I am terrified that I am just no good.
Carly Haynes
my best kept secret...I'm really a man! ;)
My secret is that I have to sleep with a pillow on my side because I have a fear of having my back exposed when I sleep. Too scared of getting stabbed or something. If my husband is out of town then I have to sleep with two pillows to block both sides. It makes no sense in my logical mind, but I need those pillows! Melissa Rem
My best kept secret is that I LOVE cheesey movies! I don't think anyone knows though...except you, now!
My best kept secret is that I do the happy dance when there is no one home but me. I enjoy a night here and there where there is no commotion, just quiet and I probably look a lot like Elaine dancing on Seinfeld.

My secret is that I am lonely. I am very outgoing on the outside, but not so much on the inside. I am usually so busy with my kids that the neighbors/friends never invite me to the pool, girls night out, etc. and then my feelings get hurt. I am getting divorced and my boys will be gone before too many more years, and I fear I will be all alone. LeslieCG
Best Kept Secret? hmmmm, it is so secret, I forgot. Guess I should have told someone so they could help me remember. =)
Super excited for the June Blast-O-Books! Thanks!!
I'd have to say how much time I waste on the internet durring the day.
My best kept secret from people in real life is how much not having a baby kills me every day. I never told any of my family when I had either of my miscarriages. I feel that things like that need to be kept private, which then makes it worse for me to go it alone.

I'm still in love with my old boyfriend!
My close friends know this but I pretend that I don't care about him anymore. Sigh.
Dani Patarazzi
My best kept secret is my irrational fear of the dark. And subsequently, the "boogie man" under my bed.
my bks is that i will be 30 in november...and i have never had sex. so many of my good friends don't even know that about me.
My best kept secret as of lately is that I am nervous that we are having a boy (due in 6 weeks and we don't know what we are having). Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon to be pregnant with our second (since it took a long time to get to this point), but I don't know how to raise a boy (if we have a boy). Our oldest is a girl and is all girlie and I have 5 years worth of girl stuff. Having a boy scares me...but then again so does have a another girl that is full of drama. I'm hoping these are normal feelings. ha! :)
My best kept secret is that I can drink most people under the table :)
Hey - my best kept "secret" is the Green Tea flavored Kit Kats that one can buy at the Japanese Supermarket - which makes me think it is more "healthful" than the regular milk chocolate ones (but probably not, in reality)

My best kept secret is how badly I've wanted to have another baby but know my husband really doesn't want another one.
My bks is that I desperately want to have a child but i pretend to be okay with the fact that it will probably never happen because of my infertility.
These comments are all so fabulous! I had the best time doing this interview for Stephanie!
And let's see, it wouldn't be fair if I didn't leave a secret, too... Okay, are you ready? I am so nervous about this book release that even though I have been "off" sugar for over 9 months, I hit Dairy Queen on Friday for a Brownie Batter Blizzard and INHALED IT in about ten seconds flat. Totally worth it, and totally made me feel better. Perhaps I need a carbohydrate intervention, now? :)
Thank you all for the interest, and please let me know your thoughts about the book!
My best kept secret is Self-Tanner night. My husband plays basketball on Thursday nights, religiously. Afterward he goes out with the guys and doesn't come home until long after I'm in bed. This is the night I slather myself head-to-toe in stinky self tanner and then put on my grubby, black pajamas (that stuff gets EVERYWHERE). It is too streaky and freaky looking to use when he's around--we've been married a loooooong time but the guy doesn't deserve to have to look at THAT! He's never noticed or mentioned it (and since I only do it once a week it's not like I'm ridiculously George Hamilton-tan or anything). I realize this isn't exactly the axe-murder sort of skeleton in my closet, but I find it hilarious.
My secret is the same as a few others. I'm a sahm and not really the best at it. I try but I too am a yeller and not proud.
One of my best kept secrets is that I am HORRIBLE with doing laundry! When my husband does it he separates the lights, darks, delicates, etc. and makes sure not to cram too much in one load. He also carefully measures out the detergent, color safe bleach, etc. Me, I reach deep into the laundry baskets and shove whatever I grab into the washer...as much as will fit. Before the clothes go in I just pour some of this, some of that in to clean :). My husband caught me doing this not that long ago and acted horrified...I told him if he didn't like how I did it he could do it himself :).

my best kept secret is that I spilled a LOT of water on my laptop keyboard. My husband thought that it just started making this police-siren sound when it starts and deciding not to let me type "1" on the right side numbers. He blames Facebook, which he thinks causes viruses, but hasn't made the connection that the remote broke on the very same day...
I guess my best kept secret is that i'm not okay with being single as i let everyone else think. While i'm enjoying my me time, i get lonely from time to time and am jealous as all my friends are married and having kids.
my secret is that i really want to be a stay at home mom when i have kids someday..and i want it to be soon!
My best kept secret is that I do not like one of my co-workers! I am cordial with her but that is about it. I do not engage her in casual conversation like I do the rest of my co-workers. This woman always has to involve herself in everything which is very annoying. She also always has to make a comment, regardless of the fact that she does not know what we are talking about or that she is wrong!
My best kept secret is that I LOVE when my hubby goes out of town for business!! I don't have to worry with making dinner every night..the kids and I eat out the entire time!
Best kept secret... I listen to books on tape while I'm working... and might not answer the phone because the book got to a good part.

my best kept secret is I AM A NOSEY WOMAN!!!!!!

This book sounds great! I'm definitely going to add it to my list. My best kept secret? Hmmm... I guess it would be just how antisocial I really am. I would much rather sit at home on the couch with my husband watching old Scrubs reruns than go out with a group of people. I really get overwhelmed around lots of people, even friends.
Its a secret. And best kept.
This looks like a great book. My best kept secret is that I always look at the homes for sale, even though we are not planning to move.MargieT
My best kept secret is that I'm afraid that even though I know all the right things to do, I am really a horrible teacher. I'm afraid that the other teachers in my grade and subject are doing a much better job and my students aren't learning or retaining as much.
I hide my favorite candy up on a shelf in the back of my closet. Sometimes I just don't like to share!
Hi Manic...thanks so much for offering up this book. I have a very close friend dealing with this exact issue right now. She even tried rehab to no avail. I am so sad for her...she desperately wants to quit drinking! Anyway, I guess a secret about me would be how badly I want to go back to school and get a degree. At 41yo this is TERRIFYING! Not sure if I'll ever do it...I keep finding reasons not to. :) Take Care MM!! Nan
My best kept secret is that even though I complain about being single and not being able to find Mr. Right - I secretly like being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want without checking in with anyone. I also love having the whole bed to myself! Not that I want to be single forever, but for now it's kind of nice! :)
I think at least once every day about ditching my family and running away. I never would because I love them, but it's exhausting to be a full time employee, mother, wife, cook, maid, chauffer, personal shopper, etc. I never have me time or get to do or buy something for myself.
Kristi Marie
My best kept secret is that I spend way too much time on my computer. I use the excuse that I am "working", but half the time I am on facebook or reading tabloid gossip. It's one of the reasons I won't get an IPhone or Blackberry...I'm afraid I'll never get offline!
Probably that I'm disappointed almost every day. Sad, but true. I really have to work to be happy. :( ktmixon315
I work in a profession where you are expected to be pleasant, happy and helpful to the random people who come in every day, and I'm always told ow pleadant, happy, and helpful I am. My secret is that I am not a people person and that I feel like slapping most of the people I help because their problems are trivial.
My best kept secret is that I sneak off and eat candy when my kids aren't paying attention. (I also do the bad babysitter thing when my husband is out of town - glad I'm not the only one!)
My BSK is going to remain a secret from all but the other two people involved (keep your minds out of the gutters) but I am dying to share it with someone!
Instead, I'll share that even though I'm a quiet person, I'm totally a yeller with my kids, although my neighbors probably know that. :)
Terri M.
My best kept secret??? Unfortunately, I don't have any because I have what my husband calls "no filter". He wishes I had secrets!!
-tmd636
My Best Kept Secret is I love to sneak away and grab a quick nap before the kids get home from school. Of course, I am up before they walk through the door. Now that school is out things will be different!! lol
My best kept secret is that I love to read YA ... even though I am in my 30s!!
My best kept secret... The reason I rarely drink alcohol is because I grew up as the child of an alcoholic parent.
I would love to read this book!
My best kept secret is that I have absolutely no desire to have kids. I like kids, I have nieces and nephews that I adore, and love my friends kids, but, under no circumstances do I want any of my own. My husband and I are totally selfish; we like our freedom and the ability to do what we want when we want to. I think some people we meet think we don't have any (we've been married for 10 years) because of reproductive issues. No, we don't have any because we don't want any. It's a great thing if that's what you want, but, we don't. My freedom and ability to sleep far outweighs any desire to have children.
I had doubts right before my wedding but wasn't strong enough to call it off or delay it. We have been married almost 38 years so I guess it worked out okay.
My best kept secret is that I call the girl who considers me her Best Friend Ever my shopping and eating friend. No where near my BFF.
My best kept secret is that I have pawned some jewelry my husband has bought me over the years when we were low on cash. He just thinks I never wear it anymore, that I am more in to "costume jewelry" now.
My best kept secret is my ever growing book collection. Lol. My hubby is clueless as to really how large my collection is. Lol...It is an addiction but a GOOD one. ;)
My best kept secret is that I read books like you post here at work, haha. It's bad but I love chic lit books so much. I hide my book under my desk and look at it every so often.
Thanks!
-Jessica
BKS? Well, I don't keep secrets very often. That way I don't have to remember what I said...everyone else does! Heh! Maybe what I haven't told a friend of mine is that I really don't like her husband. I don't think he likes me either so guess it makes us even? And the truth is that I don't even care to make nice with him. It means I don't spend much time with her anymore, which is kind of sad.
My best kept secret is that I get lonely sometimes because I live far from my family but I play it off so most people think it doesn't bother me that much.
my best kept secret will remain just that...a SECRET
That I'm 38 and haven't figured out what I want to do with my life or what I'm good at. I seem to fake things pretty well.
BKS: sometimes I wish I *had* changed my major and become a teacher. but the economy is so bad and teachers are being laid off...I guess things worked out for the best.
Crystal717
My best kept secret is that I can't wait until my oldest moves into her own apartment and starts her "adult" life in a few days. I love her, but I really need her to be independent.
Hmmm.... I stress shop. It's bad! On the upside I have nice jewelry. On the downside I have some bills I wish would go away.
I don't think I have a best kept secret...I'm an open book (aka I share TMI!) Not to copy your secret, but similarly, every time my husband travels (which is often), the kids and I always pick one night to forfeit our typically healthy dinners and have big plates of chipped beef gravy and biscuits instead.
Colbey J
My best kept secret is that I do not shave my legs from october til march. I have not very hairy legs and usualyl do not need to shave for that long but no one knows that.
I talk about eating healthier, but I sneak off and buy junk food when I am having a bad day. Patticole
I eat so much sugar when my husband is out of town.
My best kept secret is......best kept secret!

Probably my journal that i've had for 5 years. I only write in it when I'm really stressed and at my breaking point. I should write in it more often to get frustration out but I can never find the time.

Your interview was GREAT MaNiC! I can't wait to read this book! Thank you so much!...
I wish I had some secrets to share... thinking thinking thinking - BUT I got nothing!
Sorry!

My best kept secret is that I am a magazine hoarder. I get so many magazines every month that it sometimes will take me a year to read them. I bring them into work so that my husband cannot see how many I get and read them on my breaks.
That I want another baby. :) But we made that decision permanent (husband had the Big V), so if I love my marriage, and I do, I will keep this secret, and be happy with my wonderful sons.
My best kept secret is that I'm terrified of being alone and never finding someone to share my life with...
NicoleMG from CT
My biggest secret is that I kissed a girl when I was younger. I know this is more accepted now, but I was in my early teens and both of us were in a really strict religion. Oops! lol
I want to read this book and have been racking my brain for days about my best kept secret. I can't think of a thing. Pitiful!
Kayo
THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING. A WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN! NO MORE COMMENTS WILL QUALIFY AFTER THIS COMMENT.

Sugata Mitra’s new experiments in self-teaching0
PBS: 10 minutes with Ron Paul0
A great interview from PBS that covers the common objections to the man, why his solutions are more efficient and effective than those proposed by government and what a Ron Paul presidency might look like.
Watch the full episode. See more PBS NewsHour.
Anonymous…Enlightenment1
For me, this again comes back to the tale of Barabbas and Jesus.
Barabbas was a brave man and zealot of Roman-occupied Jerusalem. A caring man and a patriot he dealt with a daily menace of pain, corruption, thievery and much worse at the hands of the Roman occupiers who reigned over Jerusalem.
We too have modern “Romans” all around us; a mixed bag of mega-corporations, control-freak politicians, “the illuminati,” the vatican and a multitude of others. They have wronged and sinned and abused us for a very long time—thanks to the internet more people are aware of their crimes now than in any time in history.
The group(s) that can steer these “aware” people will have their hands upon the controls of a massively powerful weapon with the dangerous cloak of self-righteousness draped around its hulking shoulders. As history has shown, many of the worst atrocities have been carried out with the best intentions…
While most people today associate “enlightenment” with buddhism, new age ramblings or meditation; the words of Christ still ring with more clarity, peace and wisdom than I have heard from any other source: “love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you!”
His eyes saw a different world; his mind didn’t react like the mind of men, his heart didn’t beat with the violent passion of ours—he surpassed all of that…
Luke 23:34
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”
Matthew 18:21-35
“Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”
Mathew 6:14-15
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
With these thoughts in mind, I don’t know what action I can now take and I don’t know what action you should take; all I know is that there is a perfect Creator, the most powerful channel I’ve yet found to the source is Jesus Christ, and no matter how bad things might seem in the short-term, God is playing chess and everything is being worked steadily and precisely to The Good and like iron being forged into steel burned by fire for our perfecting.
So if your heart still beats with righteous indignation and anger, hungers for offensive action to “take ‘them’ down” by any means necessary, and you think the time for forgiveness has passed then fare thee well, perhaps our paths will cross again someday.
I don’t pretend to know The Will of God, or what the right action to take is; but starting off your movement with “We do not forget, we do not forgive” is a very dangerous thing indeed.
Their latest video…
State of the Union2
There is a great and terrible kingdom being brought to the ground while the next age of our humanity is coming into focus. What will it be like? How can we remain harmonious with the will of God in bringing it to fruition?
Obviously there have been a lot less posts on here lately, frankly I’ve been at a lack of words while trying to find what it is that I want to say.
I used to find anything intriguing or inspiring and make that an article but now I find myself torn between angles, philosophies and spiritual ideals…
I’ve been thinking long and hard about what Jesus was meaning when he said he had a much different way than what the religious/political zealots offered through political action.
In my limited understanding, Jesus proposed and offered this “different way” that could create the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. In part, this different way was a working of peace in our hearts and minds that transcended the hatred, fear and angst the political landscape of his time was causing. A different way that involved forgiving our enemies, coming to peace with them, and even loving them and wishing them well—a very difficult task!
The strongman Barrabas continues to play in my mind as the passionate patriot striving to better the world with his good intentions but remaining far away from the true kingdom: love and self-sacrifice.
How do we effect change while remaining within the good Graces of God? Is this too high of a goal? Let’s dare to dream it is not.
A “Sovereign Man” in court0
As I continue my journey into the strange world of admiralty law and common law I am forced to deal with situations far beyond my comprehension. The below video is a major example of my dilemma. I can’t see how they are fakes—and they bring up major debates on how our court system operates and the possible abuses taking place.
Jesus or Barabbas?3
I’m going to say just briefly here, that Jesus and Barabbas can be seen as two very different types of “Christians” to be revealed in the end of the age; those, who in the midst of great persecution and tribulation will demonstrate the love of the Father through the wisdom of the Cross (the laid down life of Jesus Christ), and those who will rise up as Barabbases – even as “Christian” militant zealots of the day who will think that their ungodly actions and behavior are justified in their fight against a distinctly antichrist system of government.
Even now, by the Spirit, we can see a polarization of these two very different types of people; those “Christians” who are heavily “churched” and who have much zeal and religious ambition but who bear not much fruit of the Spirit in their lives, and those who are really taking up their crosses, so much so that they are coming to a place where they love people with the whole of their hearts, and that, even to the extent that they will lay down their very lives for others when it is the lead of the Holy Spirit to do so.
Beloved, even now we are seeing many people who claim to be “Christian” but who, by their words and actions, show more of Barabbas than they do of Jesus. With their mouths these say “Give us Jesus!” but with their hearts they clearly express, “Give us Barabbas! We choose Barabbas!!”
I’ve seen some pretty awful things done and said in the name of Jesus Christ before, but even those things, I’m afraid, are nothing when compared to what is coming. It was the spirit of religion at work in unsanctified hearts that crucified our Lord Jesus Christ, and I imagine that it will be the very same spirit at work in men that will crucify us also (in whatever form that might come).
Beloved, look to the left of Barabbas in the picture below, and there you will see a very small figure with the glory of God upon Him. He is demonstrating there the wisdom of the Cross to rulers and authorities in heavenly places, which is our destiny too, beloveds, IF we will just walk this thing out in the very footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ. — D

NAME
xawtv-remote, v4lctl -- control video4linux devices
SYNOPSIS
xawtv-remote [ options ] command v4lctl [ options ] command
DESCRIPTION
xawtv-remote and v4lctl can be used to control a video4linux driven TV card. xawtv-remote passes the command to a already running xawtv or motv instance using X11 properties. v4lctl sets the parameters directly.
OPTIONS
xawtv-remote knows the following options: -h print a short help text -d dpy Set the X11 display -i id Set the Window ID. v4lctl understands these options: -h print a short help text -c device Set video4linux device. -D driver Set video4linux driver. -v n Set debug level to n, where n = [0..2]
COMMANDS
Both tools basically use the same set of commands. Some of them are useful for xawtv-remote only (fullscreen for example). setstation [ <name> | <nr> | next | prev | back ] Set the TV station. This selects on of the TV stations which are configured in the .xawtv config file. The argument can be the station name or a number (the first one listed in the config file is 0, ...). next/prev jumps to the next/previous station in the list, back to the previously selected one. setchannel [ <name> | next | prev ] Tune in some channel. setfreqtab <table> Set the frequency table. See the menu in xawtv for a list of valid choices. setnorm <norm> Set the TV norm (NTSC/PAL/SECAM). setinput [ <input> | next ] Set the video input (Television/Composite1/...) capture [ on | off | overlay | grabdisplay ] Set capture mode. volume mute on | off mute / unmute audio. volume <arg> color <arg> hue <arg> bright <arg> contrast <arg> Set the parameter to the specified value. <arg> can be one of the following: A percent value ("70%" for example). Some absolute value ("32768"), the valid range is hardware specific. Relative values can be specified too by prefixing with "+=" or "-=" ("+=10%" or "-=2000"). The keywords "inc" and "dec" are accepted to and will increase and decrease the given value in small steps. setattr <name> <value> Set set the value of some attribute (color, contrast, ... can be set this way too). show [ <name> ] Show the value current of some attribute. list List all available attributes with all properties (default value, range, ...) snap [ jpeg | ppm ] [ full | win | widthxheight ] <filename> Capture one image. webcam <filename> Capture one image. Does basically the same as "snap jpeg win <filename>". Works also while avi recording is active. It writes to a temporary file and renames it when done, so there is never a invalid file. movie driver [ files | raw | avi | qt ] movie video [ ppm | pgm | jpeg | rgb | gray | 422 | 422p | rgb15 | rgb24 | mjpeg | jpeg | raw | mjpa | png ] movie fps <frames per second> movie audio [ mono8 | mono16 | stereo ] movie rate <sample rate> movie fvideo <filename> movie faudio <filename> movie start movie stop control xawtv's movie recorder. fullscreen Toggle fullscreen mode. showtime Display time (same what the 'D' key does in xawtv). msg text Display text on the on-screen display (window title / upper left corner in fullscreen mode). vtx line1 line2 [ ... ] Display subtitles. It pops up a small window at the bottom of the screen. It is intended to be used as an interface for displaying subtitles (often on videotext page 150 in Europe, that's why the name) by external programs. Every command line argument is one line, zero lines removes the window. You can colorize the text with the control sequence "ESC foreground background". foreground/background has the range 0-7 (ansi term colors). Example: "\03347 hello world " is blue on white. "\033" must be a real escape character, the string doesn't work. With the bash you'll get it with ^V ESC. vtx does also understand the ANSI tty escape sequences for color. quit quit xawtv keypad n enter digit 'n'. That's the two-digit channel selection, entering two digits within 5 seconds switches to the selected station. Useful for lirc. vdr command send "command" to vdr (via connect on localhost:2001).

This format is similar to the AFMT_S16_BE format but with different endianess. This is the native 16 bit sample format (signed short) in the wintel architecture. It's also the 16 bit sample format used in WAV files. This makes this the most commonly used audio format in the computer industry. Practically all devices support this format natively (there are few exceptions used in the RISC workstations).
This is the preferred format to be used when storing 16 bit samples in files or when passing them to some applicatiions or systems.
The AFMT_S16_LE formatted data stream should be handled as an array of bytes. Each 16 bit big endian sample requires two byte positions. The first byte stores the least significant 8 bits and the the second is used for the most significant part.
The AFMT_S16_NE endian format is recommended instead of AFMT_S16_LE as the internal sample format. It's also the best choice if the application supports just one sample format.

A
law school
(also known as a
school of law
or
college of law
) is an institution specializing in
legal education
.
Law degrees
United States
Law school in the United States is a postgraduate level program which typically lasts three years and results in the awarding of the
Juris Doctor
(J.D.) degree. Some schools in Louisiana concurrently award the Graduate Diploma in Civil Law (D.C.L.). In order to be admitted to a United States American Bar Association (ABA) approved law program, a prospective student must take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and have graduated with a minimum four-year undergraduate (bachelor's) degree in any major. Currently, there are 199 ABA-approved law schools.
Canada
The typical degree to practice law in Canada is the
Bachelor of Laws
, which requires previous college coursework and is very similar to the first law degree in the United States, except universities such as the
University of Toronto
,
Osgoode Hall Law School
,
Queen's University
,
The University of Western Ontario
, and
University of British Columbia
have changed the name of their degree to that of a J.D.., education,. . Some universities have developed joint Canadian LL.B and American J.D programs, such as York University and New York University, the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit Mercy, and the University of Ottawa and Michigan State University program..
Asia
China.
Japan
In Japan, a law degree is usually an undergraduate qualification, with the LL.B. being the most common. To practice law, passing the National Bar Examination and attending judicial training (or work experience as legislator, government official, professor, etc.) are required in Japan. While ‘Graduate School of Law’, which confer LL.M. and LL.D., has long been for few students pursuing academic career (partly for policy career), ‘Law School’ with much larger capacity was additionally introduced for students pursuing legal career in 2004 by legislation according to Recommendations of the Justice System Reform Council, and it is now in its transitional stage. LL.M. degree usually requires two-year study.
Philippines.
South Korea
On July 3, 2007, the
Korean National Assembly
passed legislation introducing 'Law School', closely modeled on the American post-graduate system.
Moreover, naturally, since March 2, 2009, 25 (both public and private) 3-year professional
Law Schools
that officially approved by
Korean Government
, has been opened to teach future Korean lawyers. The first bar test to the lawschool graduates will be scheduled in 2012.
Taiwan.
Controversies
United States. For example, the starting salary at nearly all large
law firms
in several cities across the country in 2008 is
US$
160,000 plus bonus.
and the
New York. As more students choose where to work based on the firms' diversity rankings, firms face an increasing market pressure in order to attract top recruits.
Increase in law school tuition fees
Furthermore, there has been some controversy regarding the recent increases in law school tuition fees, at a time when salaries in the legal services sector are growing much more slowly than the U.S. inflation rate.
Some attribute these issues to insufficient regulation of law schools by the American Bar Association. The total number of Juris Doctor degrees awarded has been on the rise in recent years, at least partially due to the accreditation of new schools by the ABA.
Continued increase in number of law schools
The United States continues to open new law schools at a time when it already has more than 900,000 lawyers, risking an excess of supply.
In addition, to become a licensed attorney in
California
, one need not have attended law school.
Yet California has 69 law schools (20 ABA-approved, 18 California-bar approved and 31 unaccredited schools).
California serves as the headquarters for some of the more well-known online law schools, such as
California School of Law
and
Concord Law School
.
There are 11 law schools in the Greater Chicago Area (Loyola, DePaul, NIU, U of IL, U. of Chicago, Notre Dame, IIT, John Marshall, Marquette, Valparaiso, Northwestern). New York was recently described as having a 'glut' of law schools,).
Alternative legal education systems
Many potential law students cannot attend a residential law school due to work or family commitments, not to mention the financial burden of tuition and travel. An online law school may be a good option for such students. For a balanced discussion of the pros and cons of an online legal education, and a comparison of the pedagogy and First Year Law Student Exam results of the online law schools "registered" (not "accredited") with the California State Bar, go to..
Australia
In
Australia
, law schools such as the
Sydney Law School
and the
University of Melbourne
have emphasised a combination of the British and American systems, prominently known in Australia for their prestige and proliferate employment rate.
However, other universities such as the University of New South Wales, the Australian National University, Monash University and Deakin University are known for their intensive and practical work.

- AP: . … Industry estimates show the Marcellus boom could offer robust job numbers for 50 years. … U.S. Steel will add 100 jobs with a $100 million upgrade of a plant that makes seamless pipe for the construction, oil-gas exploration and production industries. (Associated Press, 11/27/11)
- Marcellus Multiplier Having a “Driving Force” on Local Economy: continue to do so. “There were a number of businesses that took advantage of the opportunity to be servicers to the natural gas industry,” Culp said. “There are a lot of examples of company expansions.” … As a result of the expansion to service the natural gas industry, Culp said Bolus’ company has also grown. “He’s gone from 80 people, in the early part of the year, to 160,” Culp said. “Most of it is directly related to those (Marcellus shale-related) operations.” …Culp said the “area of impact” of the shale industry is also continuing to expand. (Standard Journal, 11/26/11)
- Ohio Co. Official: “America Needs American-Made Energy and Jobs”: A new ethane gas pipeline that would come through Licking County would create jobs and help stimulate the economy, county Commissioner Tim Bubb said. “It’s a big construction project,” he said. “It will create jobs. … America needs American-made energy and jobs.” … The proposed Enterprise pipeline is expected to generate as many as 4,000 temporary and full-time jobs along the route as it is being built. … “The bottom line is that we all need energy. Natural gas energy is a safe energy,” Bubb said. “It creates jobs in America.” (Newark Advocate, 11/27/11)
- Most Ohio Residents “Think It’s Important for the Area to Embrace Drilling”: The negativity surrounding oil and gas drilling doesn’t appear to be coming from western Mahoning County. It seems to be coming in the more heavily populated areas, among “city folk” as some residents described it. Most residents, including Harless, think it’s important for the area to embrace drilling. “I think this is needed,” he said, “for American jobs and the economy.” (Youngstown Vindicator, 11/27/11)
- Ohio Mayors:. (Associated Press, 11/27/11)
- U.S. News & World Report Editor in Chief: Thanks to Shale, “We Have a Chance to Remake Our Energy Future”:. (Wall Street Journal Op-Ed, 11/25/11)
- Ohio Small Business Owner: Community Morale “Is All Positive,” Thanks to Shale:.” (Associated Press, 11/27/11)
- “Oil and Gas are Boosting U.S. Employment”:. … The beauty of the oil and gas boom is that multipliers aren’t needed to predict job growth. It’s happening right before our eyes. (Wall Street Journal Editorial, 11/28/11)
- “Even Old-Line Industries Like Steel are Benefitting” from Shale Development: As the New York Times’ David Brooks wrote earlier this month: “Already shale gas has produced more than half a million new jobs, not only in traditional areas like Texas but also in economically wounded places like western Pennsylvania and, soon, Ohio. If current trends continue, there are hundreds of thousands of new jobs to come.” Even old-line industries like steel are benefitting, with the Cleveland Plain-Dealer recently reporting that Republic Steel is investing $85 million to create 450 new jobs at a plant it was shutting down just three years ago. The plant will make steel pipe needed for the Marcellus gas wells. (Washington Examiner Editorial, 11/27/11)

Ohio Landowners Sue to Break Utica Lease Contract
A group of landowners in Columbiana County, Ohio have filed a lawsuit seeking to dissolve lease agreements they say were improperly transferred from Anschutz Exploration to Chesapeake.
A group of 33 landowners in five local townships filed a lawsuit regarding their oil and gas lease rights in Columbiana County Common Pleas on Monday.
The lawsuit filed by the Canton law firm of Tzangas Plakas Mannos and Raies Ltd., involves about 3,000 acres in Wayne, Butler, West, Hanover and Salem townships. It names Chesapeake Exploration and its subsidiary, CHK Utica, as well as two land agents and three notary publics as defendants in the lawsuit.
Among several complaints, the people contend they have a right to receive the fair market value for their land and have it put to productive use in a reasonable timeframe.
The lawsuit claims Anschutz Exploration Corp. was extremely active in the area between 2008 and 2010, signing many lease agreements, which pre-dated the current knowledge by most local property owners of the new Utica Shale fracking and drilling procedures opening up additional gas. Because of this, the lawsuit contends many of the landowners were signed to leases and received less than 1 percent of the fair market value compared to current signing bonuses being paid in Columbiana County.
Several years after Anschutz Exploration signed the leases, Chesapeake sought to obtain the leases. The lawsuit alleges the lease transfers were improper, without proper notarization and ineligible to be recorded in Columbiana County, although they were.*

A few years ago, a vacation was a vacation if you were a voice talent. It had to be. Away from your home studio or the professional studio that you did all your recording in, you had no choice but to enjoy some time off.
Things are different today.
To record a voice over on the road these days all you really need is a mic, a laptop and preamp to connect those two pieces. I have a Shure X2U. It’s tiny and very portable.
Don’t Miss An Opportunity
As a professional voice talent you’re a solopreneur. That’s to say, you’re responsible for your own destiny. There are no two weeks worth of paid vacation days written into your employment agreement. Being on the road and away from the office means you’re going to miss out. You’ll have to pass on auditions. You’ll have to pass on jobs. It can be a tough pill to swallow.
But everyone needs a vacation!
Now that recording on the road is so easy, I know more and more voice actors are packing their equipment right along with the rest of their luggage. After all, you can’t afford to miss an opportunity right?
Or can you?
Working Vacation
I’m heading out tomorrow for a few days. A somewhat last minute adventure to Vegas. I thought long and hard about whether or not I should bring my gear with me.
I reasoned with myself that I’d only use it for an emergency. I wouldn’t spend any time auditioning or looking for work while I was gone. I’d just have my gear in case a client called and needed something done before I return on the weekend.
That’s just good business. Right?
I was justifying all of this in my head. A rather convincing argument, I might add.
I talked to my friend that I’m traveling with. She agreed to the proposal. She said she understood the pressure of working for yourself and not wanting to miss out on opportunities. She was genuine. If I brought my gear, she wouldn’t hassle me if I had to stop and record.
She was giving her blessing for a working vacation.
Vacation Vacation
Here’s the thing. A vacation, by it’s very definition, isn’t supposed to involve work!
Vacation: : A period spent away from home or business in travel or recreation. (Source: Merriam Webster)
I’m supposed to be getting away from business. Not bringing business with me!
I thought about it some more over the weekend and decided my gear wasn’t coming with me. Instead, I was going to get away for a few days, have some fun, enjoy the adventure, and not worry about whether or not I was missing any work.
We all need time away. Time to reset. Time to recharge. Time to renew. It makes us better people. It makes us better voice actors!
I decided that time time, I’m going on a vacation vacation!

On Monday Patch published an article about the response of Cobb school officials to the Connecticut school shootings.
The following is a statement issued by Cobb County School District Superintendent Michael Hinojosa about the same topic.
Dear Cobb County Schools Community,
We all are in shock and disbelief at the tragic event that occurred last Friday and our hearts pour out to the community of Newtown, Connecticut. As a result of this terrible, senseless act, many concerns about safety have carried over to our own community.
I want to reassure parents that Cobb County schools are as safe an environment for your children as you will find anywhere. We have state-of-the-art security resources available, including:
- Police officers assigned to every high school and middle school, and available to every elementary school on call;
- Electronic access control systems for all elementary schools;
- Surveillance cameras in every school.
In addition, all of our schools have safety plans that the principals review with their staffs at the beginning of the school year and as needed. They will be revisiting those plans this week. Finally, the school district’s Public Safety Department has requested assistance this week from all police agencies in Cobb County to step up patrols around our school buildings, so do not be surprised if you see an additional presence of police near your school.
Of course, no security measure available can protect against every conceivable threat, whether caused by nature or the rage of a disturbed individual. We must keep this random act in perspective, employ the resources we have, and be vigilant as we carry on with educating the students of Cobb County. In the aftermath of this horrible news, I want to thank our parents for reassuring their children that school is a safe place to be, and I want to thank our teachers and administrators for doing a wonderful job of comforting students and maintaining a positive and welcoming spirit in their schools.
I wish everyone a happy holiday season and a restful break, even as we grieve for those in Newtown, Connecticut.
Respectfully,
Michael Hinojosa, Ed.D.
Superintendent

I am disheartened that the world has become such that we have to have armed guards at schools. When I was in high school, the only things they had to worry about were kids smoking in the school and kids trying to leave the school grounds during school hours. I remember my last year in Osborne High School in 1970-1971, we had a new principal and he would stand at the entrance to the parking lot during lunch periods so nobody could leave without permission. We thought that was horribly mean. Now, we have armed guards in the schools. Yep, we have evolved.
