The New Jersey National Guard is proud to be a member of the more than 34 communities throughout New Jersey in which our soldiers and airmen serve. Through an active community relations program, the New Jersey National Guard demonstrates it is a good neighbor and community partner. The Guard and its soldiers and airmen are extensively involved in local community organizations and often participate in, or support, the events they sponsor.
The New Jersey National Guard Domestic Actions Coordinator staff receives all volunteer requests, reviews and validates their legal propriety, then puts out a call across the organization for volunteers. Volunteers are not typically provided in an "official" capacity. The National Guard, as a government institution, refrains from endorsing specific organizations or events that it does not officially sponsor. Instead, it is up to the individual Guard members to decide whether they volunteer their time. Event organizers should also be aware that military mission requirements may on occasion prevent our people from supporting off-base events.
There are a number of state and federal restrictions on how we can support organizations and events and our training and mission schedules always come first. Please review "Organizations eligible for military support" to see if your event is eligible. Complete and submit the required forms (see forms download) below by the deadline noted to make a request for support. In many cases, Air Guard units handle their own requests for support, in which case your request will be forwarded to the unit closest to your activity.

I stopped by at Pun Chun Noodle House yesterday for their delicious bowl of Wan Ton mee. For those who doesn't know, Pun Chun originated from Bidor Perak since the 1940's and has since grown to be a crowd favourite for its signature Duck Wan Ton noodle.
Thankfully, food lovers do not need to drive all the way to the northern region to enjoy their mouth watering dishes since they have opened a branch at Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam.
The restaurant was already jam-packed with customers as early as 9:00 a.m. I had a chance to grab a seat and ordered their dried Wan Ton noodle. Their noodles are home made using family secret recipe.
It has a 'springy' taste when chewed inside the mouth. Besides that their roast pork are marinated overnight and barbecued daily to ensure freshness.
Sliced green chillies with soya sauce go well with the dish.
Apart from that their Wan Ton is really big. According to them, the Wan Ton is also home made with fresh shrimps.
Yummy big Wan Ton…
Overall, I am really happy with the meal which costs RM 6.

Miami rapper and son of Cuban parents Pitbull has released a song in response to Jay-Z's rap about his recent trip to Cuba with wife Beyonce.
Pitbull's "Open Letter,' which comes just days after Jay-Z released a song of the same name, shows support for the Brooklyn rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and slams some of the critics of the trip.
"Politicians loves to hate you/But then they runaway when it's time to debate you," Pitbull raps. "Question of the night, would they have mess with Mr. Carter if he was white?"
Click here to listen to the Pitbull song
Pitbull, also known as "Mr. 305" raps about the Cuban influence in Miami: "Let's not act like half of our families ain't flipped bricks/We made Miami something from nothing/Let's not forget that we came from nothing."
He also expresses hope for the future of Cuba: "Here's the freedom we ride for, here's the freedom that we die for/C-u-b-a hope to see you free one day."
VIDEO: Beyonce, Jay-Z Mobbed in Cuba
In his song, released days after he and Beyonce toured Havana on their fifth wedding anniversary, Jay-Z proclaims he "done tuned Havana to Atlanta," and that he and Beyonce will be "ballin' 'til they ban us."
South Floridians React to Jay-Z and Beyonce Trip to Cuba
"Y'all must wanna start a revolution/ Whenever I'm threatened I start shooting," he continues. "Catch a body head to Houston/I'm in Cuba I love Cubans/This communist talk is so confusing, when it's from China the very mic that I'm using."
Reuters reported that the pop music power couple had traveled to Cuba on a "cultural exchange" license from the Treasury — the only way Americans can legally travel there, in light of a 51-year-old trade embargo between the two countries.
Several local politicians, including Sen. Marci Rubio and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, questioned the trip and why it was approved.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Two gunmen on a motorbike killed a senior Egyptian Interior Ministry official outside his home in Cairo on Tuesday, security officials said, putting pressure on the military-backed government as it struggles to contain an Islamist insurgency.
The death of General Mohamed Saeed, head of the technical office of the minister of interior, suggested militants were stepping up their campaign against the state at a delicate time in Egyptian politics.
Army chief Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who toppled president Mohamed Mursi in July, is expected to announce his candidacy for the same post in the coming days, a move that will anger the Muslim Brotherhood to which Mursi belonged.
The Islamist movement accuses Sisi of staging a coup that has undermined democratic gains made since an uprising ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Hundreds of its supporters were killed in clashes with security forces across Egypt in August.
In the violence since Mursi's ouster, hundreds of members of the security forces have also been killed.
Saeed's assassination came hours before Mursi appeared at a courthouse set up at a Cairo police academy to face charges of kidnapping and killing policemen after a 2011 jailbreak.
Mursi, who already faces charges in three other cases, will not have the opportunity to scream slogans against Sisi and the army-backed government, as he did in previous court sessions.
This time he is being held in a glass cage with a sound system controlled by the court, another example of the crackdown on dissent which has drawn criticism from human rights groups.
The Interior Ministry confirmed Saeed's killing. He was an aide to Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim, who survived an assassination attempt last year.
Political violence has hit investment and tourism hard in Egypt, which is of strategic importance because of its peace treaty with Israel and control of the Suez Canal.
Militant groups based in the largely lawless Sinai Peninsula have killed hundreds of police and soldiers since Mursi's downfall, but the Islamist insurgency appears to be taking root beyond the region that borders Israel and the Gaza Strip.
It took autocrat Hosni Mubarak several years to end an Islamist insurgency in the 1990s.
Last week, six people were killed in a wave of bomb attacks targeting policemen in Cairo. And a Sinai-based militant group brought down an army helicopter with a missile, killing five soldiers.

If ever there were doubts of Liam Neeson being a box office bad-ass, the weekend's estimated $105 million global gross for Fox's "Taken 2," including $50 million Stateside, has put them to rest.
The international action-thriller doubled the domestic opening of its 2009 predecessor, helping fuel a 50% year-over-year domestic weekend surge.
Fox also earned almost $40 million as it released the film day-and-date in 28 overseas territories. "Taken" launched in an additional 22 markets via local distribs (including France and Russia), which contributed another $16 million this weekend. Pic has totaled $67 million so far overseas, which includes an 11-day cume of $13.8 million from South Korea.
The sequel's worldwide haul reached $117 million through Sunday.
Fox domestic distribution topper Chris Aronson said "Taken 2" isn't expected to have the same six-times domestic multiple, based on its higher opening, as the $145 million-grossing original, "but (the sequel) should get to the same place — only quicker."
In the States, Universal's wide expansion of college tuner "Pitch Perfect" performed as expected, with an estimated $14.7 million, while Disney's stop-motion 3D B&W toon "Frankenweenie" underperformed, nabbing just $11.5 million.
"Pitch Perfect" should make a tidy profit for U. The film, which received an A CinemaScore rating, cost just $17 million and has cumed $21.6 million domestically.
"Frankenweenie" marks the second recent modest perf for a stop-motion toon, after "ParaNorman" stalled somewhat during its opening frame in mid-August. The black-and-white component (in 3D) of the Tim Burton toon may have further deterred some families with young kids.
The Disney pic, which cost $39 million to produce, was hurt significantly by the holdover presence of Sony's "Hotel Transylvania," which in its second frame dropped just 38% — enough to claim second place overall with a projected $26.3 million, for a 10-day domestic cume of $76 million.
In limited release, Millennium Entertainment's release of Lee Daniel's "The Paperboy" got off to an OK start, averaging north of $10,000 from 11 Stateside locations.
Summit's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" continues to distinguish itself at the specialty box office, expanding to 221 locations — up from 102 last weekend — for a third-sesh gross of $1.5 million. "Perks" has cumed $3.3 million domestically.
Box office action all-star
In 2009, "Taken" became a sleeper hit, grossing more than $225 million at the global box office. Two years later, Neeson propelled Warner Bros.' "Unknown," a "Taken"-lite actioner, to a respectable $131 million worldwide gross.
Earlier this year, Neeson starrer "The Grey" became domestic distrib Open Road's highest-grossing release so far, with nearly $52 million (pic earned more than $77 million globally via local distribs).
"Taken 2," which cost $45 million to produce, scored a solid B+ CinemaScore (as did "Frankenweenie"), with a slightly more even demo spread than the first "Taken." Over-25 auds, for instance, contributed 56% of the sequel's opening take vs. the first pic's 60% turnout among this age group. Men generated 52% of the sequel's debut total — the same as the original.
Most bizzers pegged "Taken 2" to land in the mid-$40 millions through Sunday, but Fox modestly insisted a high-$30 million gross was more reasonable given the recent sluggish B.O. climate (last weekend notwithstanding).
"There was nothing in the recent market, nor did tracking suggest that the film could do this sort of business," Aronson said.
'Frank's' faint fanboy spark
Disney was counting on fanboys for "Frankenweenie," but the toon's poor evening turnout on Friday suggested that "Taken 2" drew a larger-than-expected chunk of the opening-night fanboy crowd.
Still, the toon earned 11% of its gross from Imax — a largely fanboy format — with couples contributing 32% of the film's weekend gross. Families, not surprisingly, made up the toon's largest audience segment (at 56%), compared to teens, at just 12%.
"Frankenweenie" scored half of its debut gross from 3D, though without Imax, 3D would have contributed just 39% — better than "Brave" (34%) and "Hotel Transylvania" (35%), but worse than "Madagascar 3" (45%) and "The Lorax" (52%).
Dave Hollis, exec VP of motion pictures sales and distribution at Disney, said positive reviews and word-of-mouth should help "Frankenweenie" expand demographically — especially among fanboys — in the weeks leading up to Halloween. "When it's all said and done, we've got a really great movie," Hollis said.
Another positive sign for "Frankenweenie" is that the toon saw a healthy 40% uptick from Friday to Saturday. That's compared to Burton's 2005 stop-motion toon "Corpse Bride," which increased just 14% after opening day. "ParaNorman" rose 18%.
Universal domestic distribution prexy Nikki Rocco said "Pitch Perfect" displayed promising staying power, declining as little as 25% at most holdover plexes. At the Grove in Los Angeles, "Pitch" actually increased 12% on Saturday.
"This is like the little-picture-that-could," Rocco said. "It should wind up profitable for us."
And speaking of tenacity, Paramount-DreamWorks Animation's "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" surged again in its 18th overseas frame, thanks to its release in German-speaking territories. The toon grossed an additional $23.3 million, bringing its offshore total to $451 million and counting.

America has a long and rich heritage of immigration. Democrats have always embraced our country's diversity, but we also recognize that we need to fix our broken immigration system.
Democrats support comprehensive reform grounded in the principles of responsibility and accountability:
- Responsibility from the federal government to secure our borders: The Obama administration has dedicated unprecedented resources to securing our borders and reducing the flow of illegal traffic in both directions.
- Responsibility from unscrupulous businesses that break the law: Employers who exploit undocumented workers undermine American workers, and they have to be held accountable.
- Responsibility from people who are living in the United States illegally: Undocumented workers who are in good standing must admit that they broke the law, pay taxes and a penalty, learn English, and get right with the law before they can get in line to earn their citizenship.
Comprehensive immigration reform is essential to continue the tradition of innovation that immigrants have brought to the American economy and to ensure a level playing field for American workers.

Elitism is something that plagues our society, from important political issues right down to the every day aspects of our lives. The music we choose to listen to, the games we choose to play, the people we choose to associate with, we all have different tastes. Unfortunately, sometimes we forget this fact. Sometimes we forget that other people don't always see things the same way as we do and we look down on them because of it.
It's great to have opinions. It's even better to be passionate about them! But that doesn't make your opinion fact and it definitely doesn't mean other people are automatically wrong just for having a different opinion. It is possible to share your opinions without treating those whose opinions differ like lesser beings and I wish more people would do it.
Through my time on the Internet I've encountered many situations in which I have seen people belittle others for having a difference in opinion, hell I've been the target of that myself. Today I want to talk about some common instances of elitism I've encountered.
It's All Just Sound After All
One of the first places I started noticing elitism was in conversations about music. It's well known around TAY that I'm a huge metalhead. I love metal music in almost all of it's forms and I've noticed lots of elitism both from within and outside the metal community.
The first thing I want to talk about is the hate directed at metal from people who like other genres. The most common things I've heard people say are "it's all just screaming" or "it sounds like talentless banging on pots and pans" or "this isn't music it's just a bunch of noise." Well hold on right there, just a bunch of noise? You do know what music is right?
1. the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity
2. vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony
Metal definitely fits those definitions. And as for talentless? Metal musicians are some of the most technically proficient people out there. Listen to progressive metal bands like Gojira or Dream Theater (a band made up of Berklee College of Music graduates) and tell me that there's no talent. Hell, there are symphonic metal bands like Epica and Nightwish that are fronted by trained opera singers.
I'm not saying you have to like it. Just go listen to country or pop or rap or whatever it is you like and enjoy it. Enjoy it with all your heart, just don't think less of other people just because they like a different genre of music.
Now what about the elitism of my fellow metalheads? I'd argue they're even worse. "Oh you like that band? You aren't a true metalhead!" or "If you don't like this band you're a piece of garbage" or "all fans of this band should kill themselves." Oh just get over yourselves. Who are you to say that certain subgenres of metal aren't really metal? Metalcore is just as good as thrash which is just as good as the classic metal stuff. Don't look down on people for daring to like different metal bands than you.
The Great Gaming Debates
We gamers are a very passionate bunch when it comes to opinions. We are passionate about the games we play and the platforms we play them on. Unfortunately we often berate others for having a different choice in gaming platforms.
This is why discussions about the so called "console wars" often turn so sour and hostile. It is perfectly okay to be a big PlayStation fan and not really be interested in what Xbox has to offer. Maybe you love the Xbox exclusive titles but don't really care for the PlayStation ones. That's fine too! Maybe you're a die hard Nintendo lover and the other two do nothing for you. These are all acceptable tastes. Be passionate about what you love! But just because you like things one way doesn't mean others don't.
Far too often I see people calling systems terrible because they don't particularly like them. People proclaiming their system of choice is vastly superior to the others and flat out insulting those who prefer a different console. Sure maybe you like that the PS4 runs at a higher framerate than the XB1 or that you're super excited for all the upcoming XB1 titles and have no interest in games for the PS4. Sure maybe the other consoles do nothing for you. But that does not give you the right to call other people stupid for being interested in different things.
Who cares if the XB1 is running at a lower framerate? Not the people who are having loads of fun with it and the exclusives they love. Who cares if you don't like the exclusives on the PS4? Not the long time PlayStation fans who adore those games. Who cares if the Wii U isn't hardcore enough for you? Not the people having a blast with Mario Kart 8 and looking forward to all the recently announced new games. So stop putting yourself above others just because you like different games and play them on a different console.
Now let's talk about the other gaming debate: console vs. PC. In this day and age we're all familiar with the term "PC Master Race." It's the pinnacle of gaming elitism. "PCs are vastly superior in every way you console peasants." So what if PCs have better specs than consoles? It doesn't matter to those who are having fun with their consoles. It doesn't matter to those who can't afford a powerful gaming rig when they can spend a few hundred on a console that will keep them satisfied for years to come. Who care's if PCs have a much wider range of games? The console gamer who doesn't really have the time to invest in a lot of games doesn't.
In the end it doesn't matter what platforms people are playing on. If people are having fun with their choices, let them do so in peace. Enjoy playing your games the way you want to play them and quit being a jerk to others who just want to do the same.
And then there's the whole idea of casual gamers or not being a real gamer. Far too many times I've seen people who aren't as into games as others treated like dirt by so called "real gamers." I personally believe in a future where everyone is a gamer on some level so seeing today's gamers being so exclusionary and belligerent towards more casual gamers is just sickening to me. As gamers we should be striving towards being as open and welcoming as possible, not act like elitist jerks to those who don't play as many games.
Suba Dub Dub
Another place I've encountered elitism is in the realm of anime. Now I readily admit that I'm a pretty casual anime watcher. In fact I can still count on my fingers how many anime I've watched. Lately I've been getting into it a bit more but I still would consider myself a casual viewer.
One of the reasons I've been reluctant to get into it more was the amount of elitism I came across. Simply asking for a recommendation has always resulted in arguments for me. People always come in and make some recommendations and say why their choices are the best and how I should watch them and how other people's suggestions are not worthwhile at all. It makes it hard to pick something to watch with all the conflicting opinions and people insulting each other for having different tastes.
The biggest kicker has always been the subs vs. dubs debates. The main reason why I'm always wary of asking for suggestions is because I prefer dubs. I have a hard time with subs because I find it hard to concentrate on both what is happening on screen and reading the subs. But a lot of people can't comprehend that. Something along the lines of "I don't have that problem so you must be doing something wrong." is said almost every time it comes up in conversation, and the number of times I've been called a "filthy dubber" is ridiculous.
So what if things get lost in translation? So what if you don't think the English voice actors are as good as the original Japanese ones? I enjoy watching them this way and that's good enough for me. As I've been saying throughout this piece, enjoy what you enjoy the way you want to enjoy it and let others do the same.
It doesn't matter if people don't enjoy things the same way you do. News flash: they aren't you and have different tastes and opinions. That's part of what makes all these mediums so great; everyone has different ways of looking at things and it breeds interesting discussions. The idea that you're better than someone just because they don't share your opinions is absolutely ridiculous.

INTERESTING: Poll question assumes facts not in evidence
What do you think?
Do you believe that the economic benefits of legalized gambling outweigh its societal impact?
Yes, the economic benefits strongly outweigh its societal impact
Yes, the economic benefits somewhat outweigh its societal impact
No, the societal impact somewhat outweighs the economic benefits
No, the societal impact strongly outweighs the economic benefits
No strong opinion
# – # – # – # – #
The questions presumes several things.
(1) That we think.
(2) That there are things such as "economic benefits", "legalized gambling", and "societal impact"?
(3) And that there can be a trade off.
Don't forget our old friend Bastiat! "The broken window fallacy" — Frédéric Bastiat Ce qu'on voit et ce qu'on ne voit pas (That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Unseen) 1850
We can't see what the other side of the choice is!

Instrument Characterisation and Algorithm Studies
Maintenance and improvements of instrument characterisation and algorithm definition are crucial activities to guarantee that the requirements formulated in the MRD (Mission Requirement Document) are effectively fulfilled and potentially enhanced. These activities are nominally managed within the QWG, though some complementary studies are funded by ESA for supporting ad-hoc recalibration and reprocessing campaigns as well as for developing advanced scientific processors and innovative geophysical products.

...Getting the old CRT TV out was easy. We were driving down the road and it just fell out. ...
That's really unusual, generally the challenge is trying to decipher how Winnie installed the TV and then pull it out. I've never ever heard of one falling out on its own. Any idea why this happened?
That's quite nice, good job! I forgot your floorplan had the same TV layout as the AD model. You saved yourself a bunch of weight getting rid of the glass monster (and you gained HiDef.)

Hey John,
What makes the choice? You want me to say, "The brain makes the choice". That's somewhat correct but not precise enough for this discussion. When it comes to most choices, it's not as if the brain automatically fires off decisions without conscious feedback. Before I continue, I'll have to backfill my explanation by defining what I believe consciousness is . . .
. . . My view is that consciousness is the emergent property of a complex system comprised of 4 components: the environment (ambient stimuli); sensory organs; sensory nervous system; and the brain. Consciousness is more than just the brain.
To illustrate, imagine that, as a fetus, your sensory nervous system never "hooked up" with the brain (but the other nervous system subsystems were okay). You would never be able to feel, smell, taste, hear or see. In other words, you would never have the possibility of receiving and processing sensory information (stimuli) from the external (or internal) world. I assert that, under these conditions, you would never develop consciousness because the brain would have nothing to develop it from.
But as you'll recall, I described consciousness as an emergent property of a complex system comprised of 4 basic components: the environment, sensory organs, sensory nervous system and the brain. Cutting off the sensory nervous system is not the only way to prevent consciousness -- permanently cutting off (in utero) ANY of the 4 components would prevent consciousness. By the way, it's important to note that this scenario does not apply to those who have already developed consciousness but later lost one of the above 4 components.
My purpose in raising this prospect was to drive home the point that consciousness stems from a complex system and is more than just the brain. Consciousness relies on the sensory nervous system, sensory organs and environment as much as it does on the brain.
This example of a complex system shows why materialism and physical reductionism aren't the only valid approaches to scientific investigation; and why they've failed miserably to explain consciousness.
Anyway, don't confuse consciousness as the complex system; it's not. Consciousness is an emergent property of the complex system.
Consciousness, in this scenario, includes our memories and relative intelligence. It is, essentially, our unique identity, formed by our past experience and expressed in the present. The key to free will, however, is the future. In proportion to our experience and relative intelligence, we are able to project causality into the future and thereby make decisions to guide or alter the course of our lives. THAT is free will.
In order to project causality into the future, we need to make and remember intelligent observations of our world (environment). This requires the 4 components of the complex system and the consciousness that arises from them as an emergent property.
So, to get back to your first question, it's more precise to say that consciousness (rather than just the brain) makes our choices – and its ability to extrapolate causality into the future is the source of free will.
By the way, no laws are violated; no rules changed, despite your assertions to the contrary. Consciousness and free will are natural phenomena no more spooky than life itself.
Your insistence on absolute materialism is dogmatic and interferes with your ability to understand anything you can't reduce to simplest components. Materialism is great for "hard" science but fails miserably with more abstract phenomena. Consciousness stems from concrete physical objects and forces but is itself immaterial. You can't see, touch or weigh it but it is, nonetheless, entirely natural. You need to face the fact that animate beings introduce new phenomena to our inanimate universe. You have no problem admitting life, consciousness and intelligence -- but not free will. That is a materialistic bias that denies any alternative scientific approach to inquiry.
The question is NOT, "Did we ever really have any choice at all?", as you claim. There is abundant evidence for free will but NONE for the deterministic dogma that "free will is an illusion". When you insist something is a fact, despite a total lack of evidence, then you're spouting dogma. Therefore the question is, "Why deny free will instead of explain it?".
As for quantum theory and randomness . . . who said anything about it supporting free will? Certainly not me. The only way you could construe support would be indirectly -- by noting how it undermines determinism.

The US Department of Justice could "wipe out the publishing industry as we know it", with its lawsuit accusing Apple and book publishers of conspiring to raise ebook prices.
US Senator Charles Schumer warned that if it goes ahead with the lawsuit against Apple, the DOJ will allow Amazon to regain its monopoly in the publishing market.
Schumer expressed his views in an opinion piece at the Wall Street Journal. His "Memo to DOJ: Drop the Apple E-Books Suit: Restoring Amazon's monopoly in digital publishing is not in the public interest," article suggests that Apple plays a vital role in the ebook industry that leads to competitive pricing.
Schumer noted that Amazon was able to take an early lead in the ebook market, and, crucially, sell books below cost, thanks to its large product catalogue.
Schumer wrote: "They could allow their books to be sold at the prices Amazon set, thus undercutting their own current hardcopy sales and the future pricing expectations for digital books - or stay out of the e-books market entirely. In an increasingly digital age, the latter was simply not an option."
He claims that Apple's Agency Model gives the power back to the publishers. The DOJ, on the other hand, believes that this Agency Model infringes on antitrust laws.
Schumer claimed that the DOJ: "Misses the forest for the trees". He suggested that they are ignoring the overall downward trend of average ebook prices and instead focusing on new book prices.
He suggested that consumers have "a more pressing long-term interest in the survival of the publishing industry."
The trial will begin on 3 June 2013. Apple and two publishers are fighting the antitrust charges. The US department of justice accuses Apple and those publishers of conspiring to raise ebook prices in the iBookstore.
Apple claims that publishers were not happy with Amazon's pricing tactics and wanted to set their own prices in the iBookstore. The company also claims that the US government has sided with monopoly rather than competition in bringing a case of ebook price-fixing against Apple.
Here in Europe, investigations have resulted in Apple offering to settle. European Union antitrust regulators began their investigation of Apple and various publishers back in December 2011.

Do I have the right to change the locks on my apartment door? I think someone else has a key. If I change the lock, must I give the landlord a key?
Under Texas law, a landlord must change or re-key the locks on exterior doors whenever a new tenant moves into the apartment. The landlord also must repair or replace any defective lock at his own expense. Unless the lease provides otherwise, however, a tenant may not "remove, change, re-key, replace, or alter a security device or have it removed, changed, re-keyed, replaced, or altered without permission of the landlord."
This does not mean, however, that you cannot have the locks changed. Texas law requires that a landlord must re-key or change the locks whenever requested to do so by the tenant. In such cases, however, the tenant must pay the reasonable costs of changing or re-keying the lock.
I have a copy of the sixth edition of your book, "Know Your Rights!" I was told there is a new edition. Where can I get a copy?
Thank you for asking. The eight edition of my book, "Know Your Rights! Answers to Texans' Everyday Legal Questions," is currently available at bookstores or from my website, peopleslawyer.net. The book has 19 chapters, dealing with just about every area of law. It is written in a simple to understand question and answer format and includes some model letters and forms to help you resolve your legal problems. It also is available in a Kindle edition.
May a store limit how many items I can purchase? I tried to buy 10 of an item that was advertised in a "Black Friday sale," but the store said the sale was limited to one per customer. Is this legal?
Start by reading the advertisement. If the advertisement limits quantities, the limitation is enforceable. The harder question is whether the store may limit quantity when nothing is said in the ad. In my opinion, the store may limit a customer to a "reasonable" quantity. If it is a deep discount sale, such as the one you mentioned, a limit of one per person seems reasonable and what most people would expect.
About 15 years ago, I did business with a company and never paid my bills. I was shocked to find out that they still refuse to deal with me until I pay. Isn't there some sort of limitations period for collecting a debt?
There are limitation periods for any type of legal action. For example, most debts cannot be enforced after four years. There also are limits on how long such information may be reported on your credit report. Generally after seven years the information becomes obsolete and cannot be reported.
There are no limitations, however, on how long you "owe" a debt. In fact, until it is paid, the money is owed.
Perhaps more importantly, a business generally has the right to do business or refuse to do business with whomever it wants. If the business you owe money to does not want to deal with you until the debt is paid, it has a legal right to do so. It may seem "shocking" to you, but it is obviously a matter of some importance to the person to whom you owe the money.
If you loan someone money and there is no type of legally binding agreement, only verbal, what type of action can be taken to retrieve funds?
You seem to think that there is no "legally binding agreement" because it is not in writing.
If you loaned the person money and he agreed to pay you back, you have a "legally binding agreement," even if it is oral. You can file a claim in small claims court to collect. Of course, you will have to prove you loaned the money.

FREDERICK — Every day, physicians and staff at Meritus Health Trauma and Emergency Services in Hagerstown see patients who are injured because a driver was not paying attention to the road, according to Mary Rizk, a spokeswoman for Meritus.
With that in mind, Meritus is partnering with Frederick County Public Schools to teach students the dangers of distracted driving.
Meritus' "Stay Alive! Don't Text and Drive" campaign kicked off this week at Oakdale High School with 543 of 874 Oakdale students signing the pledge not to text and drive.
Meritus will visit each county high school in April, with a goal of 5,000 students signing the pledge, according to Jennifer Marsh, campaign coordinator for Meritus Health.
There are about 12,500 high school students in Frederick County.
Oakdale junior Michelle Rizk, one of the first students to sign, said she has seen the dangers of texting and driving by watching others do it.
"You see how easy it is to get in an accident," she said.
Adell Remsberg, also a junior, agreed. She signed the pledge after seeing how distracted her older relatives get while texting and driving.
"It's really scary. When they drive, it feels like you're going to crash," she said.
Meritus started its campaign to end distracted driving in August in Washington County. They visited high school football games and asked students to sign the pledge.
Nearly 3,000 Washington County Public School students signed, Marsh said.
Officials from Frederick County Public Schools, Meritus, Frederick Regional Health System, Frederick County Government, the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce and county emergency services all signed the pledge shortly in the Oakdale library.
Given how many people are brought to Meritus because of injuries sustained from crashes involving distracted drivers, Marsh said the medical center's staff believed it was their duty to inform people of the danger.
In 2010, 1,545 crashes in Frederick County were the result of distracted driving, with drivers age 16 to 24 responsible for about 25 percent of those.
It is hard to quantify how many injuries were due to texting and driving because people are not always willing to admit how they were distracted, Marsh said.
"No text message is worth a life," he said.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Two Port Everglades public works employees were killed and a third was injured when a scissor lift collapsed at Port Everglades Friday morning, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said Kenneth Krason, 49, of Boca Raton and Mark Freeman, 51, of Coconut Creek died in the accident.
Thomas Fischer, 49, remains hospitalized at Broward Health Medical Center in critical condition.
The construction accident happened at berth 2, located at 1801 SE 18th Street, about 11 a.m.
The workers were doing routine maintenance work on the walkway that passengers use to move between the berth terminal and a cruise ship when the lift fell on its side, BSO says.
Investigators said the men were sent crashing onto the pavement. The top platform was extended just over 40 feet in the air at the time of the incident.
Freeman and Fisher had been on the job for only five days, authorities say. Krason had been a county employee since 1991, working at the port since 1997.
"It was a significant boom, and you could tell it wasn't a car accident," said Lorne Hailstone. "It was a little difficult to see because as you can see, when the crane is lying on its side like that, you don't know whether it had already been there or maybe they were doing some repairs on it or something like that, but obviously with the extension out like that, you can tell the cherry picker was up high. You really feel bad for the families. These fellas went to work this morning fully expecting to come home after work and enjoy a weekend. Unfortunately, they're not coming home."

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Jason Wu 2010-09-10 23:47:46
Jason Wu Debuts Shoes, Bags, and an Owl Logo Alongside Collection for Spring 2011
>> After only sleeping "two or three hours" over the course of the past "literally three days," Jason Wu debuted an "old Hollywood glamour"-inspired footwear and handbag collection — firsts for the brand — alongside his collection today. The designer also introduced a new logo in his show notes, a small owl named Miss Wu, which will be attached to all of his designs — see her here. Wu explained the choice of an owl as thus: "It's a very fashion thing to do to stay up all night, just like Miss Wu," referring to his recent late nights.
Diane Kruger rushed over from the FIT Couture Council luncheon honoring Karl Lagerfeld to sit front row (where Desiree Rogers, too, occupied a seat) as Joan Smalls led the regalia down the runway, followed by Catherine McNeil. "I was thinking about how to evolve and make luxurious versions of what we have already seen," Wu said of the collection, crediting Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes as his source of color inspiration. "I always start with color. I don't even know what my story is without it." In Wu tradition, there were frothy printed dresses, gowns embellished with hand-painted fabric flowers, and Karlie Kloss closed out the show — this time wearing a pink fuchsia gown.

- Gear Shift Assistant,

The interceptor. The athlete. Aerodynamic, avant-garde. Do you know of another sporty bike with this profile? A bike that develops such pulling power with 175 hp that it take the heat out of many a 200 hp bike? But a bike you can still take out on a quick trip simply because it has great everyday suitability? At the same time a technological treat?The reasons: 103 ft-lb of torque from 1,293 cc ? and at 8,250 rpm too. With a throaty sound from a cool, hexagonal tube. With catalytic converter and exhaust valve. And with fuel consumption and exhaust emission values which would suit many a machine with half the dynamic performance.With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line 4-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That?s because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80% of the time ? i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges ? it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing: race through the gears with the gear shift assistant, pure racing in view with the 2D HP dashboard.The BMW K 1300 S: supreme power with the sportiest of understatement. Why not try it out right away!

The 25 Most Expensive Homes in Hawaii
(page 1 of 13)
If you want to own one of Hawaii's top homes, it helps to be in computers or investment banking. Using public records collected by Title Guaranty Hawaii, we've compiled a list of Hawaii's priciest homes—exclusive compounds filled with sprawling swimming pools, personal tennis courts and stunning oceanfront views, places for which the annual property-tax bill runs a cool half-million.
The Top-25 Club turns out to be a who's who of tech CEOs, venture capitalists and other financial-service barons, almost all from out of state. These are people not only rich enough to afford one $20 million house, but several of them, in different parts of the world.
The distribution of these palatial properties is also illuminating. Oahu has some famously expensive neighborhoods, such as Kahala, Portlock and Lanikai, but they don't appear in the top 10 spots on our list. In fact, there are only six Oahu properties on the entire list. When it comes to outrageous real estate, it's all about the Big Island, where you'll find nine of the 10 most expensive homes in Hawaii, all strung along the Kona Coast.
We assembled a similar list in 2005, limited to the City and County of Honolulu. Expanding the scope to all of Hawaii has raised the stakes considerably: While the top property in 2005 was assessed at $15.2 million, that number wouldn't even get you on the bottom rung of this year's list. The bar starts at $16 million and goes up from there.
The dollar amount listed for each house is the county's most recent assessment of its value, for tax purposes. In most cases, the property details are also based on publicly available city and county data. One note: We restricted this list to single parcels as defined by the county tax offices. That kept things simple, but meant overlooking a few fabulous estates that comprise multiple parcels, such as the 174-acre Tara Plantation on Kauai, which sold in 2009 for $28 million.

$61.8 million
7 bedrooms • 7 full and 5 half bathrooms • 18,500-square-foot interior • 189,704-square-foot lot
It's known as the Raptor Residence, but the man behind this luxurious oceanfront estate is Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Inc. This year, Forbes ranked Michael Dell as the 37th richest person in the world, with a net worth of $13.5 billion. Hawaii County assesses the house alone at $28.5 million, but the better part of the $61 million valuation of this property is the land itself. It's lot 1A, the premier parcel in the private, luxury residential community of Kukio. (There are no lots 2 and 3—Dell combined three 1-acre parcels.) Kukio is a relatively recent development, an even more exclusive successor to the already spectacular Hualalai resort, next door, but it already figures prominently on this list. Seven of the 25 most expensive homes in the state are located within one of the three divisions of this Kona Coast oasis.
$39.4 million

Property ownership is public information, but many of the billionaires and millionaires on our list have set up walls of privacy between themselves and the tax records. The No. 2 most expensive house, for example, is officially owned by Kukio Limited. The Dallas address listed for the tax bill, however, is the same as for Kitano Capital, which was incorporated by financier Ellis Short in 2007. Short has been reported to be an extremely private person; he's managed to stay largely out of the spotlight as the president of Lone Star Funds, a global investment firm that manages private equity funds worth $24 billion, but not as owner of Sunderland A.F.C., a soccer team in England.

19/03/2009 | Who What Wear
Welcome to Style Stalker, dear readers, in which we give you the lowdown on how to exactly recreate outfits worn by one of your favorite tastemakers—Nicole Richie. Email for email, we receive more queries about how to snag Richie's celeb style than just about anyone else. So ye asked and ye shall receive.
Now, if this story sounds "familiar" in concept, you might better know it as The Article Formerly Known As Single White Female. Last month's SWF: Kate Moss gave many readers angst over the title as they thought we were racist or sexist or anti-marriage. For the record, we are none of these things (well, maybe the last one a little bit). We thought the title was a funny reference to the fantastically creepy stalker movie—you clearly did not. As we are not into the ruckus the title caused, we've changed the story's name but kept the concept the same. Do read on for our imitation-as-flattery redux.
Today's Style Stalker looks at Nicole Richie at work and at play. First up is play (the look on the left). Leave it to Richie to pull off one of the season's coolest and most difficult trends to wear—the romper. Also known as a playsuit or jumper, Richie paired her McQ Navy Button-up Jumper with a medium Balenciaga motorcycle bag, oversized sunglasses, and tan suede Louboutins for a day of shopping in Beverly Hills.
When work calls (she just finished filming E!'s The Simple Life Goes To Camp, debuts May 28th) she is equally impeccably attired. For this look (pictured right), Richie chose an Emilio Pucci batwing dress and one of the season's must have shoes, Christian Louboutin Very Prive Peep-toe Platforms. Read on for details on how to get these outfits—both exact items and similar styles are included.
1. As we mentioned above, Richie's actual jumper is by McQ. ($524, electricladyland.com) We located a fantastic version of this item for significantly less, Topshop's Button Through Playsuit, seen above. ($80, topshop.com)
2. While Richie's medium black leather Balenciaga motorcycle bag has been a continual trend for ages, we also like the similar feeling of this Linea Pelle tote. ($172.50, lineapelle.com)
3. This richly colored coral Emilio Pucci batwing dress was a stunner on the spring runway, and will make quite the statement everywhere else too. ($5220, net-a-porter.com)
4. When anything but the best just won't do, take a cue from a Louboutin fan like Richie and go for the red sole. ($720, at select Saks Fifth Avenue stores, 1.877.551.SAKS for locations)
5. If you want Richie-style major sunglasses without the major price tag, look for these Marc by Marc Jacobs Oversized Square Sunglasses. ($85, intermix.com)
6. An easy way to lengthen your legs (especially when you're tiny like Richie) is to pull on a pair of tan heels. This extra tall, Xcite slingback by Pelle Moda isn't the Christian Louboutin shoe our Style Stalker chose, but we think they're pretty darn close. ($114.99, piperlime.com)
7. Cinch a braided, gold, woven belt around your for a thrifty final touch. ($6.80, forever21.com)

Google I/O, the tech titan's developers conference, is also a place for Google to unveil its new products -- including new Android wear, and Android update and likely an update to Google TV.
It's difficult to predict what will be at the conference starting Wednesday, but several sources seem to indicate that Google will be touting its Android Wear, according to the Verge. There will be new fitness bands, including LG's G Watch and the Moto 360 (and possible Samsung's new watch), and there may be an appearance by Google Fit, Google's answer to Apple's HealthKit.
U.S. & World
There are also rumors of the new Android update, dubbed Lollipop -- or whatever it will be called -- which will be the new 4.5 or 5.0, depending on Google's engineers. However, nothing huge is expected in this incarnation, the Verge warns, so 5.0 might be coming later.
Perhaps Google TV is getting a revamp, at least now it's called Android TV to rid itself of the Google TV taint. Chromecast has done well, but it's not clear if Google will let both a Chromecast and Android TV fight it out in the market. Either way, set-top box or not, Google will likely have something updated for the big screen in your house. Google also has plans for Android@Home, be it's not clear if there will be an announcement at Google I/O, even if Nest just acquired Dropcam.
Google is also supposed to promote its automotive aspirations. Developers have been hard at work integrating Android within cars, so people are hoping to see some of the fruits of that labor including a remote system.
The maybes: Chrome OS becomes touch-oriented, Google Glass goes mainstream and Google+ gets some new features.

Ouch Chrono - Carnage Skirmish (2000-06-01)
June 1, 2000
|Sent in by Kim
Walton from Spain
Edited by RedWolf
I would like to comment on the [Bite The Bullet] issue about the can-made chronograph. I'd like to let everyone know that here in Spain we have developed the best home made chronograph. I am also sorry to say that it is better even than the real thing. Let me explain...
There is not that much softair action here so if on a day to day basis we want to skirmish, a maximum of four of us go to the woods and play our famous "carnage skirmish". Carnage skirmish consists of playing with goggles, a gas gun or AEG and [usually] short sleeved T-shirts. Basically the difference is that you [are] not dead when you say "hit", [but] you are dead when you are in so much pain that your opponent
decides not to shoot you any more (which normally occurs when he has emptied his clip). Being like this you can probably imagine that gun fights take place at 3 or 4 meters the at most so it hurts...although after 15 shots or so you don´t feel the pain anymore. Anyways we have developed a system to measure the Fps that BB's travel at as well as the traveled distance [by using] a shot-to-cry mathematical ratio as well as a measure of the intensity and length of the cry.
So if for example you shoot and 0.1 seconds
after you hear "aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrggggggggghhhhhh!" it means
that he is half a meter away, the BB traveled at 346 Fps and that if you hit
him directly on the skin - he is probably bleeding. Once [you understand the
logic behind this] system, please find as follows a brief explanation
of the named shots (you will understand when you read it) followed by a
Fps-cry chart.
For your quick reference, here is how you can tell what you're dealing with:

Editor's Comment:
We at RedWolf never
understood the appeal of "Power" plays but there remains a large
following in the airsoft world. As long as you play with friends, this
might be bearable. We've heard many horror stories of real violence as
opposing parties get a little too serious about it and end up exchanging
fists instead of BBs. Thanks to Berserk Snoopy though for submitting
this story as it illustrates a different way of skirmishing that some of you
may not have been exposed to!

Dr. Price's Injury relief Treatment
Dr. Evan Price has been practicing as a Scottsdale Chiropractor for over 15yrs. In the 15yrs Dr. Evan Price has been in Scottsdale, Dr. Price has found that patients who live in a Desert climate have different types of problems and symptoms then other areas of the country. A dry and warm climate like Scottsdale, AZ is great for your muscles and back pain. It is when the climate change occurs that the pain starts. When clear and warm sky's change to cold and dark is when the problem starts. Our body's hate drastic changes. So when the cold starts to hit us our muscles tighten and our body's ache. Most Scottsdale Chiropractors are aware of weather related changes that affect us. Treating the body to restore its function can be done.
Dr. Price uses a verity of different types of treatments. One type is Chiropractic. With Chiropractic, I can adjust the body's biomechanics. By aligning the vertebras of the spine, Dr. Price can relieve pressure on the nerves. Taking pressure off the nerves will allow the muscles and tissues of the body to relax, thus relieving the pain. Acupuncture is another tool he uses. Acupuncture helps the body become balanced. Balancing the body allows the energy "CHI" to flow. This energy can cause all kinds of problems if the flow is stagnating or in excess. Acupuncture restores the body's proper flow of this energy. This intern relieves the pain. Acupuncture is a very powerful treatment. Another great treatment is Massage therapy. Massage helps the muscle to relax by applying pressure to tight and sore muscles. There are different types of massage. Trigger point massage is used to reduce tight knots in the muscle, by applying pressure to a small area. Myofascial type massages help restore balance to the muscle, thus helping reduce pain and tightness. There are many other types of massage that are just as good for the body. Our Massage therapist has been trained in many types of Massage. If you would like more detail about her treatments please ask us. I also use Ultrasound and Electric Muscle Stim. Both these therapies are great. The Electric Muscle Stim "EMS" reduces muscle spasms and inflammation along with pain relief. This is used mainly for the muscles and soreness. The Ultrasound is a form of sound wave. This sound wave enters the muscles and uses the muscles own water to heat it up. Both these modalities are very effective in restoring the health to your body.
