One thing that I remember as a child was going to drive-in movies with my brother and parents. It was always so much fun. The night air, popcorn, candy, and watching a great movie outside with the family I love so much!!!
I decided to attempt my own movie night! What actually got me on the outdoor movie kick was seeing all the fun movie nights that I've found on Pinterest, I am officially addicted and you can follow me HERE.
First, I used several of the left over decorations from my daughter's Carnival Birthday Party. Next, I made our very own "Now Showing Sign". This was super easy...
I purchased a frame from Hobby Lobby (used a 40% coupon) so it cost me just a tad over $5.00, used a piece of scrapbook paper I had in my stash for the inside of the frame, cut out "Now Showing" (in black vinyl) with my Silhouette placed it on the glass and used a dry erase marker to write the name of the movie we watched... The Sandlot (one of my favorites from my childhood!). I love that we can use it over and over.
While on my hunt to recreate the perfect summer movie night I ran across a new product... The 3M Pocket Projector at Target and had to have it. Let me just say this projector is awesome! It hooks up to the iPhone or iPad (we used the iPad) and projects the movies. All I could imagine was the fun my daughter, neices, and nephews would have (while creating great memories for them).
So, I decided to show you today how to set up everything for your very own backyard movie night! I don't know about you but I am not very tech savvy and thankfully with this, I didn't need to be.
Let me introduce you to the 3M Pocket Projector!!!
For the mount, we used a camera tripod and it worked perfectly.
Once it is mounted, you will plug in the small side to the projector and the large side into the iPod or iPad.
This point is where the sound comes in and believe me you definitely need good sound outside. On our 1st attempt we used some small speakers. (The machine has a built in speaker but for outside it wasn't enough).... We could barely hear anything, so we decided to try something else - an amplifier. It worked PERFECT!
However, we had to find an adapter to fit as the input was larger than the standard 3.5mm. This is what the adapter looks like.
I did have to buy another 3.5mm Stereo Audio Cable but it was very inexpensive $6.00.
The 3.5mm Sterio Audo Cable goes into the adapter on one end and into the projector on the other end.
That's it! Now everything is set up.... and ready to go!
My mom is a Photographer so we used one of her backdrops. We actually just flipped it to the back white side and used that. But there are a ton of tutorials out there of how to make your own movie screen... Actually, one of the "Summer Camp Couselors" from last year gives a great Tutorial
The kids LOVED it and had the best time!! I loved seeing them so excited!
See? Perfect!!! The whole night was exactly what I wanted for them. I predict many more movie nights in the near future!!

Papi picked up his seventh Edgar Martinez Outstanding DH Award. And that's pretty much it. When Ben lays low, he really lays low.
In other news, the Bruins picked up big wins against the Sabres, Predators, Sens, and Jets but lost to the Sens and Isles. The Pats beat the Ravens, 41-7, in that landslide win I was hoping for! And we continued that with a strong showing against the Bills, beating them 34-20.

History ofThe two story brick home was originally built by Thomas Hardin Perkins, who settled in Williamson County in 1800. It was completed in 1810 and "was one of the finest homes built in the county before 1830. It included Federal style detailing and is one of the oldest brick residences surviving in the county." The home is situated at the joining of the Big Harpeth River and the West Harpeth River hence the meaning of the name "Meeting of the Waters." The home is ideally set back on 18 private acres in Franklin, TN just minutes from downtown. It has been completely renovated with an updated kitchen and state of the art amenities all while remaining true to its historic ties. The wallpaper and carpets have been carefully replicated to represent furnishings of the early 19th century, along with the breathtaking gardens that have been reconstructed on a different side of the lot. The property also includes a charming log cabin guest house, vegetable garden, outdoor kitchen & a private gazebo overlooking the rivers.

A battery ignition uses an external power source to create the spark at the spark plug. It is usually a 12-volt battery and an external coil. The switch controls the voltage to the coil via the "I" terminal. When the switch is in an "on" position, it sends 12 volts to the coil. When it is in the "off" position, it doesn't send volts to the coil and will not allow it to create a spark.

ARLEE, Mont. — On a rural American Indian reservation here, amid grazing horses and cattle, a Buddhist lama from the other side of the world is nearing completion of a $1.6 million meditative garden that he hopes will draw spiritual pilgrims.
"There is something pure and powerful about this landscape," said Gochen Tulku Sang-ngag Rinpoche, the 56-year-old Tibetan lama, as he walked down a gravel road on a sunny fall day. "The shape of the hills is like a lotus petal blossoming."
Richard Gere has not been seen house shopping here — yet. But on the land of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai tribes, a 24-foot statue of Yum Chenmo, the Great Wisdom Mother, has risen in Mr. Sang-ngag's farm field. Nearby, in his old sheep barn, amid rubber molds and plaster, some 650 statues of Buddha sit in neat rows, illuminated by shafts of light pouring in through broken boards.
It seemed the perfect setup for a clash of two cultures when Mr. Sang-ngag, a high-ranking Buddhist lama, came to this remote part of Montana a decade ago, liked the landscape feng shui and bought a 60-acre sheep ranch. At the foot of the towering, glacier-etched Mission Mountains — not unlike his native Tibet — he and a band of volunteers began building a Garden of 1,000 Buddhas to promote world peace.

Roster intact, Rox ready to make their move
DENVER -- In many divisions, four games under .500 at the All-Star break would place a team well out of the pennant race.
But in the National League West, the Rockies (46-50) sit just 4 1/2 games behind the first-place D-backs and the Rockies are still convinced that a season-changing winning streak is around the corner. Boosting their chances at that kind of run is a lineup that's finally back at full strength after shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and center fielder Dexter Fowler both rejoined the lineup for the final series before the break.
The pieces of one of the NL's most productive offense back in place, right fielder Michael Cuddyer sees no reason why the Rockies can't return to April form, when they started 13-4 and finished five games over .500.
"You saw in the first month of the season when we were full-go and everything was clicking on all cylinders, how we played," Cuddyer said Thursday, before the Rockies -- who open the second half Friday night against the Cubs at Coors Field -- conducted a workout. "So then, obviously, May we ran into some injuries, some trouble and then we were able to weather that storm, now everybody's back."
The more pressing obstacle in the way of a second-half playoff run is a starting rotation with three reliable starters, but two spots with few guarantees. Drew Pomeranz and Juan Nicasio will fill out the rotation for at least the immediate future, and their teammates are confident the rotation will do what's necessary behind a lineup that boasts three All-Stars and calls hitter-friendly Coors Field home.
Nicasio showed promise in his first start with the Rockies in more than two weeks last Friday, surrendering just three hits in seven innings. Pomeranz has not looked big-league ready in three starts, but did develop a slider over the break that he hopes will allow him to become a season-long member of the rotation.
"I think we threw the ball pretty well in the first half. Second half, I don't see why we can't do the same thing," starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood said. "I think everybody else has kind of gone on their hot streak this year, rattled off 10 in a row, and we haven't done that yet. I think that's just a matter of time before we do that and catch some fire."
With a 10-game homestand beginning Friday, the upcoming stretch could be a key indicator of the Rockies' chances of playing in October. The veteran Cuddyer sees hope in Colorado's ability to rebound from the roughest waters, like a 2-7 road trip near the end of June that pushed them back under .500 for the first time since the season began.
"Every time it looks like our team's going to break, we end up responding, end up bouncing back and playing really well," Cuddyer said. "I think that comes from management, like Walt [Weiss]. Walt never panics, [hitting coach] Dante [Bichette] never panics.
"I think that's been the difference between this year and last year, is when things started to go bad, we pushed up against it and we responded."

Polaris (star)
Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris) is the Pole Star or North Star.
It is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor. It is almost straight above Earth's North Pole. Because of this, when it is seen from Earth, it looks like it always stays in the same place in the sky. For centuries, sailors in the northern hemisphere used Polaris to help them figure out where they were on the ocean and what way they were moving.
Polaris is part of a triple star system. It has a very close dwarf binary, and a larger star, Polaris B, which orbits 2,400 AU away.[1]
The main star, Polaris A, is a giant with 4.5 times the mass of the Sun and a diameter of 45 million kilometers. It is a classic Cepheid variable, the closest to us in the whole Milky Way. Polaris B can be seen even with a modest telescope. It was found by William Herschel in 1780 using one of the most powerful telescopes of the time: his own reflecting telescope. The nearby dwarf star, Ab, was predicted in 1929, but only seen quite recently. The dwarf orbits as close to A as Uranus is to our sun.[2]
Even though Polaris is the North Star today, this has not always been the case. The place in the sky that the Earth's north pole points at changes slowly over time. This movement is called stellar precession. In 3000 BC, a faint star called Thuban in the constellation of Draco was the North Star. Polaris did not become the North Star until about AD 500. It will get closer to straight above the Earth's north pole until sometime in 2102. Then it will move away again. It will be the closest star to the pole until about AD 3000.
Surprisingly, considering its relative nearness, its distance is not yet known for certain. Many recent papers calculate the distance to Polaris at about 434 light-years (133 parsecs).[3] However, some suggest it may be as much as 30% closer. If correct, this would be especially notable because Polaris is the closest Cepheid variable to Earth. Its physical parameters are critical to the whole astronomical distance scale.[4]
There is no star in the southern hemisphere which plays a similar role to Polaris.

Professor extols immigrant narrative as an education tool
December 20, 2012
- Copyright, Steve Hambuchen
Sara Exposito, assistant professor of education, explains in a new publication how she prepares teachers to work with immigrant students and families. Appearing in Teacher Education and Practice, her article demonstrates how studying narrative can help teachers gain an authentic understanding of students' cultural, linguistic, and personal experiences.
"Narrative is a particularly powerful tool when learning about immigration because it demystifies beliefs and opinions and provides teacher candidates with the human side often missing in the larger immigrant discourse," Exposito writes. "It has been my experience that once students' and parents' stories are told, educators are profoundly changed by what immigrant families will teach them."
Exposito has worked as a teacher, consultant, and professor in education for more than 20 years. Co-director of the ESOL Endorsement for the M.A.T. program at Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling, Exposito has developed methods to help teachers connect with—and tailor instruction to—students adjusting to the U.S. education system.
In describing how she prepares Lewis & Clark teacher education students to be effective educators, Exposito contends that storytelling is a vital step in learning to be an advocate for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
"By engaging in the story and becoming a positive force within, new teachers can create a better future for their students and learn valuable lessons about life," she writes.
Exposito's article, "The Power of Immigrant Narrative," was published this month in Teacher Education and Practice.

Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky
- we90-95
|United States, Kentucky
|Maker's Mark
We believe Maker's Mark is the only bourbon distillery to use pure, iron-free limestone spring water exclusively, not city, well or river water. Our source is a 10-acre limestone spring-fed lake at the distillery. We are very choosy about selecting the grains that go into our whisky. First, we use yellow corn and red winter wheat from specially selected small farm cooperatives, all of which are located within the limestone geology near the distillery. This wheat gives our whisky its soft, mellow taste. And we only use naturally malted barley (that has no enzyme enhancing gibberellic acid).When our grain is delivered, we check it from top to bottom. If it does not meet our rigid standards the shipment is not accepted. And this really does happen from time to time. We are among the few remaining bourbon distillers that propagates its own yeast for fermentation with cultures that we can trace back to the pre-prohibition era. We also use the traditional sour mash method, similar to making sourdough bread, where we always leave over some culture from one batch to start another. Our rare cypress fermentation tanks are historically irreplaceable. Some of the planks are more than 100 years old. Cypress was chosen for fermentation before modern stainless steel was available because it didn't contribute iron or taste to the final product. While we don't believe that cypress affects the process in any way, we continue to use some of these fermenters to give our visitors a sense of how the process used to look. Maker's Mark is currently the only operating bourbon distillery to make whisky in batches of less than 19 barrels -- the traditional standard for small-batch whisky.

The base aroma is buttered corn-on-the-cob with aeration bringing additional scents of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate entry showcases sweet breakfast cereal grain; at midpalate the corn dominates so thoroughly that you know that this could only be one of the best straight bourbons from Kentucky. Ends spirity and heated. One of America's benchmark spirits.

MONTREAL — Matt Fraser fantasized about a night like this as a kid in Red Deer, Alberta.
Making his NHL playoff debut after being called up Wednesday from Providence of the American Hockey League, the 23-year-old Fraser scored at 1:19 of overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night.
"It's something I dreamed about many times on the outdoor rinks growing up," Fraser said. "It's every kid's dream to score in overtime. … Words can't even describe that feeling. I just watched the replay of it and I don't even want to begin to try to explain that because it's something I wish that every kid could feel."
The goal tied the Eastern Conference semifinal series 2-2.
Fraser scored after Johnny Boychuk's shot from the point took a high hop off the end boards and Price and defenseman Mike Weaver had trouble controlling the bouncing puck.
"It was bouncing around and I was just swatting at it as hard as I could and hoping it would hit something," Fraser said. "Price is such a good goalie. He doesn't give out a lot of rebounds. I might have got lucky there, but the puck wound up in the back of the net."
Price lost sight of the puck.
"It came around on the other side and it bounced over my stick and I lost it," Price said. "Somebody yelled 'Over,' so I looked over my left shoulder. Obviously, it wasn't there. Then they poked it in on the other side."
Game 5 is Saturday night in Boston.
"We knew how tight this series would be," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "It doesn't mean any more than that we've tied the series. It's been tight every game.
"It was important to get back in the series, but I don't think we've played our best hockey. We've played hard, but I've seen us play better. You hope the win here will help us get better and we'll go from there."
Fraser had two goals in 14 regular-season games for Boston and had 20 goals in 44 games for Providence. Julien didn't hesitate to use the youngster in overtime.
"It was no doubt a little nerve-wracking for him but to me it didn't show on the ice," Julien said. "He was poised, made some good decisions, he was strong with the puck and in his decision-making. We were talking about him and I said he's been really good for us tonight and there was no doubt he was going to play in overtime."
Tuukka Rask made 33 saves for Boston, and Price stopped 34 shots.
"This was a hard-nosed game between two well-prepared teams," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. "We lost a battle in front of the net on the winning goal, but I'm pleased with our team's effort. All the games have been close and it won't be different next game."
The teams played their first scoreless period in regulation time in the series in a tight-checking first marked mainly by icings and missed passes.
Boston's Carl Soderberg had the best chance in the final minute after Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban's blind back pass was intercepted, but Price got a piece of it as it went off the crossbar.
Another goal-less period followed as shooters misfired, particularly Montreal's Max Pacioretty on a setup from Thomas Vanek, and both goalies held their ground. Each team went on the power play once, but even that failed to break the deadlock.
The Canadiens went on attack in the third, peppering the Boston net and outshooting the Bruins 14-7. But the Bruins got a power play and Reilly Smith hit a goal post, only to see Brian Gionta stoned by Rask alone in front of the net at the other end a moment later.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #627
Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills ev'ry breast:
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heav'nly rest.
Happy the home where Jesus' name
Is sweet to ev'ry ear;
Where children early lisp his fame,
And parents hold him dear.
Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is wont to rise,
Where parents love the sacred Word,
That makes us truly wise.
Lord, let us in our homes agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign.

Just which 47 percent of Americans was Mitt Romney talking about? It's hard to say. He lumped together three different ways of sorting people in what he's called less-than-elegant remarks.
Each of those three groups — likely Obama voters, people who get federal benefits and people who don't pay federal income taxes — contains just under half of all Americans, in the neighborhood of 47 percent at a given moment. There's some overlap, but the three groups are quite distinct.
Confusingly, Romney spoke as if they're made up of the same batch of Americans.
A look at the three groups:
What Romney said: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what."
He's right on the nose, according to the latest Associated Press-GfK poll: Forty-seven percent of likely voters say they support Obama. And 46 percent say they support Romney, essentially a tie. This number fluctuates from poll to poll and week to week and could shift substantially before Election Day.
Who they are:
—Most are employed: Sixty-two percent of the Obama voters work, including the 10 percent working only part time. A fourth are retired. Five percent say they're temporarily unemployed.
—Most earn higher-than-average wages. Fifty-six percent have household incomes above the U.S. median of $50,000. Just 16 percent have incomes below $30,000, and about the same share (20 percent) have incomes of $100,000 or more.
—They're all ages but skew younger than Romney's voters: Twenty percent are senior citizens and 12 percent are under age 30.
—They're more educated than the overall population: Forty-three percent boast four-year college degrees or above; 21 percent topped out with a high school diploma.
What Romney said: "There are 47 percent … who are dependent on government … who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
Whether they are dependent and believe they are entitled to anything is arguable, but Romney's statistic is about right — 49 percent of the U.S. population receive some kind of federal benefits, including Social Security and Medicare, according to the most recent Census Bureau data. Looking only at people who receive benefits that are based on financial need, such as food stamps, the portion is smaller — just over a third of the population. Many people get more than one type of benefit.
The biggest programs and their percentage of the U.S. population:
—Medicaid: 26 percent
—Social Security: 16 percent
—Food stamps: 16 percent
—Medicare: 15 percent
—Women, Infants and Children food program: 8 percent
What Romney said: "Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax."
Romney's about on target — 46 percent of U.S. households paid no federal income tax last year, according to a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Most do pay other federal taxes, including Medicare and Social Security withholding. And they're not all poor. Some middle-income and wealthy families escape income tax because of deductions, credits and investment tax preferences.
Why these people don't pay:
—About half don't earn enough money for a household of their size to owe income tax. For example, a family of four earning less than $26,400 wouldn't pay.
—About 22 percent get tax breaks for senior citizens that offset their income.
—About 15 percent get tax breaks for the working poor or low-income parents.
—Almost 3 percent get tax breaks for college tuition or other education expenses.
Who they are:
—The vast majority have below-average earnings: Among all who don't owe, 9 out of 10 make $50,000 or less.
—But some of the wealthy escape taxes, including about 4,000 households earning more than $1 million a year.

Welcome and thank you for visiting Donna's Korner Kollectibles Dolls. We welcome your visit. There are heat-related delays from September 5-12. Orders are being filled but at cooler times when it is still light enough to see. Donna, the store owner's husband unexpectedly passed from heart
failure on 03/30, so it is a stressful time when the owner has health issues that make working in extreme heat in exceess of 100 degrees very challenging. Your orders are being filled if possible, just slower. We are hopeful you are healthy and well.
We generally use the USPS with Endicia insurance on orders over $50 or orders not through USPS Priority mail. FedEx and UPS simply became too expensive.
For payment we take PayPal, money orders, and personal checks. Allow time for checks and money orders to clear. You may use your VISA, MC, Discover, and American Express credit cards through PayPal. International orders, please wait for shipping to be added before paying, as it varies too widely for charts.
*See Special Offers Below. Note special coupon offers and codes when ordering, as listed on the item and category pages. Current coupons apply to merchandise only, and form should figure correctly if the correct code is put in. Coupons do not apply to shipping, though shipping is based on a lower total. If your order qualifies, choose the one coupon which fits the amount of your order; the system will only let appropriate coupons go through.
Coupon Code DKK5 for 5 percent off orders $250.00 or higher is available until cancelled.
Coupon Code DKK1 for 3 percent off orders $85.00-$249.99 through December 31, 2020. Enter the coupon code on the order form.
We hope you enjoy browsing our store. We have many lovely choices. Thank you so much for your business.
It normally takes 2-5 days for an order to ship after it is placed and payment clears; sometimes longer if the weather here is bad, though most orders get filled much faster after they are paid. There is additional travel time to you.. Standard shipping for packages most likely will mean sending packages USPS 1st Class if 15 oz or under, Priority if 15 oz to not over 3 pounds, and USPS Parcel Select within the mainland USA. FedEx Ground/Home Delivery may be chosen in the rare case that it is more economical, but in 2015 rates rose so sharply for home delivery, rural area additions, to the East Coast, and dimensional that it is no longer a viable choice, but may be offered on request. Wait for a quote for PayPal. It is best for packages to Hawaii and Alaska to go at least by USPS Priority Mail, though 1st Class Mail will work for small packages 13 ounces and under. We do send them Parcel Select, but this can be quite slow. We use Endicia, InsurePost, or ShipSurance shipping insurance for most USPS packages over $50.00. Packages totaling up to $50.00 that go by USPS Priority mail are automatically insured by the post office. We usually adjust shipping prices downward before the final charge for customers living closer to Calif. and items that are smaller and lighter than the usual package on our rate chart, and anything that can go by insured 1st Class Package shipping. We are also happy to adjust shipping for PayPal customers before payment is sent. Note: USPS rates are rising in mid Jan., 2020. FedEx and UPS rates have already risen.
If a package is international, Priority Express Mail International takes a week and can be tracked, but it i not worth it if Customs in either country holds it, Priority International Mail takes 2-3 weeks and can also be tracked with the exception of small flat rate boxes and merchandise in envelopes. 1st Class Package International mail can be used for smaller international packages weighing under 4 pounds and take 4-8 weeks. These cannot be tracked, but there is delivery confirmation on packages to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some West European countries. Insurance claims cannot be filed until 45 days have passed or 60 days for Italy.

In this paper we develop a spatial Cournot trade model with two unequally sized countries, using the geographical interpretation of the Hotelling line. We analyze the trade and welfare effects of international trade between these two countries. The welfare analysis indicates that in this framework the large country benefits from free trade and the small country may be hurt by opening to trade. This finding is contrary to the results of Shachmurove and Spiegel (1995) as well as Tharakan and Thisse (2002), who use related models to analyze size effects in international trade, where the small country usually gains from trade and the large country may lose.

Canadians set to boost holiday shopping this year
Holiday shoppers plan to start early this year
Nearly three-quarters of Canadians recently polled say they plan to increase their holiday shopping this year, and will use the internet to check and compare prices before buying gifts, two holiday retail studies suggest.
The surveys, by Deloitte Canada and Ernst & Young Canada, found that shoppers expect to modestly increase their holiday spending this year by between two per cent and 3.5 per cent. Last year, shoppers increased their spending by less than two per cent.
Shoppers also plan to start shopping early.
The most popular gift items include tech gadgets, toys, clothing, books, jewelry and gift cards, according to the studies.
"If you really want the best price, you would be buying now," said Brent Houlden, who is with Deloitte.
More than 40 per cent of consumers, especially those in Atlantic Canada, have already started their shopping and some were out as early as August, said the survey.
Houlden said some consumers will have finished their Christmas shopping before Black Friday on Nov. 29, the day after U.S. Thanksgiving where retailers drastically slash pricing on merchandise.
"We're optimistic that the consumer will be out shopping, but no one is going to clean up because it's not crazy shopping," he said. "People are just spending slightly more and there's many more places to spend your money now."
The surveys didn't ask participants how much they anticipate their holiday spending will be this year.
Deloitte's survey found that 73 per cent of consumers check prices and research gifts online, while the EY survey found that 70 per cent of Canadians research products online before buying.
The studies don't agree, however, on whether researching for gifts online translates into sales.
The EY study found that 58 per cent buy a product online after their web research, while the Deloitte survey found that just 18 per cent of shoppers surveyed made online gift purchases after research.
Web shoppers, though, do expect deals.
"Online customers are even more price sensitive and interested in promotions than their traditional consumer counterparts," said Daniel Baer, who is with EY.
Free and fast shipping is also important to holiday shoppers.
"People want things almost immediately. We're going to see more of buy online and pick up in the store," he said.
Deloitte found that the popularity of cross-border shopping to buy holiday gifts dropped again this year among those surveyed with 76 per cent saying they weren't going to make a trip to the United States, compared with 67 per cent last year.
Deloitte's Houlden said last-minute shoppers can still expect bargains but the deals are now happening "earlier and earlier."
EY's study found that those in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will show the strongest holiday sales results.
Regionally, Deloitte found that consumers in the Greater Toronto area planned to spend 25.2 per cent of their holiday budget online, followed by consumers in the Greater Vancouver area who intended to spend 23 per cent of their budgets online.
The studies found that holiday sales were expected to be weak in Atlantic Canada and Quebec.
The Deloitte study was done between Sept. 20-25 and sampled 2,008 adult Canadians, while the EY Canada study surveyed 1,542 Canadians. Both were conducted online.
The polling industry's professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Otic corticosteroids (cortisone-like medicines) are used in the ear to relieve the redness, itching, and swelling caused by certain ear problems.
Otic corticosteroids are available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to medicines in this group or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
There is no specific information about the use of otic corticosteroids in children. Children born to mothers taking otic corticosteroid therapy during their pregnancy should be observed for decrease in growth and for hypoadrenalism (anorexia, low blood pressure, and weakness).
Although there is no specific information about the use of otic corticosteroids in the elderly, they are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than they do in younger adults.
Studies with otic corticosteroids have not been done in pregnant women. However, in animal studies, corticosteroids have been shown to cause birth defects. Before taking this medicine, make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant or if you may become pregnant.
Corticosteroids pass into breast milk. Be sure you have discussed the risks to the child and benefits of the medicine with your doctor.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of medicines in this class. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
To use ear drops:
To keep the medicine as germ-free as possible, do not touch the dropper or applicator tip to any surface (including the ear). Also, keep the container tightly closed.
Do not use corticosteroids more often or for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.
Do not use any leftover medicine for future ear problems without first checking with your doctor. This medicine should not be used if certain kinds of infections are present. To do so may make the infection worse.
The dose medicines in this class will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of these medicines. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
If your condition does not improve within 5 to 7 days, or if it becomes worse, check with your doctor.
While you are being treated with otic corticosteroids, and after you stop treatment, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Otic corticosteroids may lower your body's resistance and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is trying to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not take or have recently taken oral polio vaccine since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid other persons who have taken oral polio vaccine. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
There have not been any other common or important side effects reported with this medicine.
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Blazing Saddles for Cycle Chilterns at Oxfordshire County and Thame Show
Blazing Saddles for Cycle Chilterns at Oxfordshire County and Thame Show
CTC's Sara Randle, Cycle Chilterns project manager, says, "With lots of information to give out to visitors, it was a very busy day for the project staff. Cycle Chilterns is in its first year and sees these shows as a great way to get to meet people and tell them about the exciting opportunities for cycling that we are promoting across the Chilterns.
"There are so many superb places in the Chilterns to enjoy on your own, with the family or with friends and going by bike is a brilliant way of exploring it all."
To give them a taste of cycling, visitors were invited to take to a Shoretrax trail on lightweight cycles supplied by The Little Bike Company of Berkhamsted. Riders of all ages had a go throughout the day, despite the heat.
The Oxfordshire County and Thame Show is the second of three County Shows that Cycle Chilterns are attending with Shoretrax in 2013. They will also be at the Bucks County Show on Thursday 29 August.
Watch the short video of CTC and Cycle Chilterns at the Thame Show produced by The Little Bike Company.

Out with the Smithfield and in with the Presler
Out with the Smithfield and in with the Presler
Intel's first round of dual-core processor offerings took off in July 2005, besting AMD's efforts by nearly a month. Under normal circumstances, having a market lead is always a formidable advantage, but in the case of the Smithfield core used for the first generation of Pentium D processors (800-series), things didn't turn out all that rosy.
First and foremost, the Smithfield was basically a larger Prescott with dual processing cores on the same die; and we all know how well received the Prescott lineup itself was. A normal Prescott core processor was already running very warm and its performance to price ratio was contested easily by AMD's Athlon 64 lineup. With that said, having two more of the exact same cores put together isn't going to resolve any of the existing concerns other than offering a dual-core variety, which does boost performance but not as much as its competitor. Needless to say, heat again was the Achilles heel of the Pentium D 800 series and its performance didn't scale like that of AMD's Athlon 64 X2 series. The exorbitantly priced Pentium Extreme Edition 840 was further hurt by the fact that it was a few hundred dollars dearer than the Pentium D 840 and was identical to the non Extreme Edition in every way but the exclusion of Hyper-Thread technology. As we've explored before, Hyper-Threading for multi-core processors isn't very elegant unless the software is really aware if it's sending a thread for execution to the logical or physical core depending on the processor's state. Also, despite the fact that Intel was retailing their dual-core processors at a more favorable price than AMD, its overall performance and other operating qualities didn't strike the right chord with the more savvy DIY market.
Riding out for many months settling for second place to AMD for its processor lineup, Intel finally brought out a new series of mainstream dual-core processors based on the 65nm process in early Jan 2006. Codenamed Presler, the new core wasn't just a die-shrink of the existing Smithfield as we reveal to you more on the Presler core's improvements on the following page and how it impacts both Intel and yourself as the consumer. As with standard Intel processor model number nomenclature, the newer processors were christened as the 900-series, indicating that the significant changes are to be expected when compared to the existing 800-series. It was also a good start to shed off the poor image that the 800-series cast during their tenure as premium CPUs from Intel. To kick-start our evaluation of the Presler core, we begin with the best of what Intel has to offer, the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 processor and the very recently but quietly introduced Pentium Extreme Edition 965 processor.

Obama Is The Best And The Worst President. Discuss By Linton Weeks • Apr 6, 2012 Close your books, America. It's time for a pop quiz. Do you believe Barack Obama is: a) The best of presidents? A blogger who goes by the name Troubadour on Daily Kos, Brian Altmeyer, pretty much makes the claim in a recent post: "Barack Obama is either the best President we've ever had, or more humbly, equal to the best Presidents we've ever had (and thereby one of their number)." Board Recommends Marine Be Discharged For Comments About Obama By Mark Memmott • Apr 6, 2012 A U.S. Marine sergeant who posted "contemptuous" comments and images about President Obama on the Web should be dismissed and given an other-than-honorable discharge, a Marine Corps administrative board recommended late Thursday evening. The case against Sgt. Gary Stein, 26, has raised questions about how far the military can go to restrict the First Amendment rights of its personnel. Jobless Rate Likely Held Steady At 8.3 Percent In March, Economists Say By Mark Memmott • Apr 6, 2012 The morning's major news, if all goes as planned, will be the 8:30 a.m. ET release of the March jobs and unemployment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to Reuters, economists expect we'll hear that the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3 percent and that private and public employers added about 200,000 jobs to their payrolls. The jobless rate's recent peak was 10 percent, in October 2009. Bears Stuffing Themselves Near Massachusetts Homes By Karen Brown • Apr 6, 2012 The mild New England winter means that more bears are up and about, looking for food — and not just in the woods. They're also exploring urban backyards and residential streets. The small town of Northampton, Mass., has more than its share of furry visitors. In Northampton, a call on a neighborhood email list for tales of recent bear encounters netted about about a dozen responses in an hour. Almost everyone, it seems, has a bear story. Muslim Brotherhood Attempts To Charm U.S. Skeptics By Jackie Northam • Apr 5, 2012 The political ascent of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has created some unease in Washington, and in an attempt to counter that, the group dispatched a delegation to the U.S. capital this week for meetings that range from administration officials to think tanks and universities. The Brotherhood has rapidly evolved into a powerful political force since former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was ousted from power in February of last year. Assailing 'Disobedience,' Pope Says Women Will Not Be Ordained By editor • Apr 5, 2012 In a Mass today at St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Benedict XVI delivered a scathing homily that reiterated the Catholic Church's ban on female priests. He also criticized a group of priests who have called on their colleagues to ignore Rome. NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty filed this report for our Newscast unit: Obama's Signing Of JOBS Act Likely Won't Dim GOP Charge He's Anti-Jobs By Frank James • Apr 5, 2012 President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (or JOBS) Act into law Thursday, legislation meant to make it easier for entrepreneurs to get investor financing that helps them add workers. Does that mean it will be harder for Republicans to frame Obama as anti-jobs? "Well, if it works, it will make it harder," said Craig Shirley, a longtime conservative political strategist and writer who runs a Washington, D.C.-area public-affairs firm. New Type Of Resistant Malaria Appears On Thai-Burmese Border By Richard Knox • Apr 5, 2012 Malaria experts have been holding their breath and hoping it wouldn't happen. But it has. Malaria parasites resistant to the last, best drug treatment, called artemisinin combination therapy, or ACT, are infecting people along the border of Thailand and Myanmar. 'Enforcer' For Violent Mexican Drug Cartel Faces Life Sentence By Carrie Johnson • Apr 5, 2012 The self described enforcer for a violent Juarez, Mexico, drug cartel has pleaded guilty to conspiracy, racketeering and murder charges that could send him away for the rest of his life. Conservative Leaders, Santorum Meet, Discuss How To Keep The Fight Going By editor • Apr 5, 2012 Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum met with a group of conservative leaders Thursday behind closed doors at an office in Northern Virginia. They discussed the road ahead for Santorum's Republican presidential campaign as the polls tighten in his home state of Pennsylvania, which holds its primary on April 24. The meeting included "strategic conversations about how to get the conservative ranks to coalesce around Rick," Santorum campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley told NPR. Former CIA Officer Indicted On Charges Of Sharing Secrets With Reporters By Carrie Johnson • Apr 5, 2012 A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted former CIA officer John Kiriakou on charges that he violated the Espionage Act by allegedly sharing secret information about some of his colleagues with reporters. Obama, Romney Agree On One Thing: Women Should Be Allowed In Augusta By editor • Apr 5, 2012 Maybe this bipartisan thing will become a trend: As we noted, earlier today President Obama signed the JOBS Act into law flanked by Republican Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor. And, now there's news that both President Obama and Mitt Romney agree on one thing: They both think women should be allowed to join the Augusta National Golf Club. Murdoch's Unrivaled Hold On The Australian Press By David Folkenflik • Apr 5, 2012 Step up to any newsstand in Australia, like the one in Melbourne's Central Business District, and ask who Rupert Murdoch is, and you might get an appraisal like this one from Tom Baxter, an officer with a local disability foundation: "Long time in newspapers, ruthless; dedicated to their craft; a global citizen." South Carolina Gov. Haley: Ann Romney Is Mitt's 'Golden Ticket' By editor • Apr 5, 2012 South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has some unsolicited advice for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on appealing to female voters.

So we have this:
- Code: Select all
void blah(char *str) {
char lol[200];
strcpy(lol, str); }
The method declares an array called lol of type char and then copies what you input into it. Arrays are useful for storing large amounts of similar data. For example, if you had a database of tax rates for people then it would be much easier to make an array of doubles than to make 400 or however many doubles of different names. When declaring an array the format is
- Code: Select all
type arrayName[index];
Type is the kind of data the array will hold(i.e. int, String, char, long, double, float) All the variables of an array must have the same data type. arrayName is simply what you want the array to be called. index is an int specifying how many objects will be in your array. To reference an array you do arrayName[desiredIndex], arrayName being the name of the array you want, and desiredIndex being what element of the array you want to access. It is important to remember that the index starts at 0 so to access the first element of the array you would do arrayName[0]. If you try to call an element of the array with an index higher than the max you set when declaring the array you will receive an error and the program will terminate.

We have this function:
- Code: Select all
$lvl_text = file_get_contents($_POST['filename'].'.php');
A mistake I made when I first tried was trying to figure out what command I needed to tell the function to find the source code. You don't need one. If you can't get this mission chances are you tried hackthissite.org/index.php and don't understand why it was wrong. Try taking a closer look at the code. Notice something that may be getting added twice?
Extbasic 3
- Code: Select all
BEGIN notr.eal
CREATE int AS 2
DESTROY int AS 0
ANS var AS Create + TO
out TO
The mission will be a lot easier if you know a programming language. You really need to think about what each line of the program is doing.
It might help to think about possible abbreviations.
Extbasic 4
- Code: Select all
{user types 6,7} BEGIN F.ake
var int as in
int var as in
out var int
Again, pretty easy if you know a programming language. Don't be confused by the first line, the user is entering 6 and 7, the first part isn't actual code. Hmm, the program then makes two variables whose values must be this "in" thing. What could in be short for?
Next the program 'out' var and int What could out be short for?
Extbasic 5
Here is the shell:
- Code: Select all
rm OK
sed -E "s/eval/safeeval/" <exec.php >tmp && touch OK
if [ -f OK ]; then
rm exec.php && mv tmp exec.php
The only part you need to worry about is the shell. It's really easy to overthink this. You can think of sed as the Find/Replace function in other programs. Basically, it is finding eval in exec.php and replacing it with safeeval in tmp. The only problem is that Always Owned Sam forgot something. If you aren't familiar with sed, you can learn a lot here:
Extended Basic 6
- Code: Select all
$user =$_GET['user'];
$pass = $_GET['pass'];
if (isAuthed($user,$pass))
$passed=TRUE; }
if ($passed==TRUE)
echo 'you win'; } ?>
<form action="me.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="password" name="pass" />
</form> <?php
function isAuthed($a,$b)
return FALSE;
Ok. Let's look at the code. It gets the username and password then runs the function isAuthed on them. If isAuthed(user,pass) returns true then the variable passed is set to true. (The default for booleans is true that is why you don't need ==true in the if statement.) Next, if passed has been set to true we win the mission. Hmm, it doesn't look like we can get the password anywhere, but maybe we can just skip right past having a correct username and password. Think about what value you would change if you could change one. Now how can we change that value? It says enter the correct URL and it also says that the sysadmin doesn't know much about web configuration. What could we add to the given URL to send the information we want?
