Hi Everyone!
This is not the "make your own" custom countdown timer we want to give you. -- One of the most requested features is just a way to change the sound of the countdown timer, or to make it ring longer, So instead of making everyone wait (even longer!), we have put this together for you. :-)
More features, more sounds, and a nicer interface will be added soon, and if you have any ideas you would like to share, please email us. Thanks!
an effort to curb the practice
Changes to Independent Contractor Laws are Threatening Millions of American Jobs
Proposed changes to independent contractor laws and other federal and state actions are threatening the livelihoods of millions of Americans.
A multi-front assault on independent contracting
is intensifying at both the federal and state levels.
Government agencies are threatening to eliminate
the businesses created by independent contractors
and erect legal barriers that would make engaging
independent contractors’ services difficult, if not illegal.
Federal Threat
President Barack Obama’s 2014 fiscal year budgetincludes $14 million to “combat independent
contractor misclassification, including $10 million
for grants to States to identify misclassification
and recover unpaid taxes and $4 million for the
Department of Labor Wage & Hour Division to
investigate misclassification.”
In January 2013, the U.S. Department of Labor
announced plans for a $1.9 million study on
the misclassification of independent contractors
by assessing whether American workers understand
their job classification and the implications of
their status on their wages, benefits and taxes.
The Department plans to collect information from
more than 10,000 American workers and 100
company executives in an effort to curb the practice
in which employers allegedly misclassify workers
to evade state...
Combine PDF files
link
Q. I scanned some paper documents and saved them as PDF files on my Mac, but each page is in a separate file. Can I combine a PDF in the OS X Mavericks program Preview, or do I have to get something else?
A. Preview can combine the scanned pages into one PDF file. Open the first page in Preview, go to the Edit menu, select Insert and then Page From File. In the box that opens, navigate to the file you want to add next and click the Open button to add it to the document.
Repeat the process until you have all the pages in one file. If you are scanning the pages as you go, you can select the Page From Scanner option on the Insert submenu to pull a newly scanned page right into the file. Save the file after you have finished adding pages.
As an alternative, open the separate PDF files, turn on Thumbnails under the View menu in Preview and then drag the small page thumbnails from the side of each document window into one main file.
The pages should insert themselves where you drag and drop them with the cursor, but you can also drag them into a new order within the Thumbnails pane. Apple has illustrated instructions for combining PDF files in Preview at support.apple.com/kb/HT6174.
Preview is a Mac program, but Windows users can find several PDF editing tools and online services (like SmallPDF.com). The industry standard, Adobe Acrobat, can easily merge PDF documents as well as create, edit and convert them.

Sure enough, the next day, Archie called again. " Mr. Obama, the war is still on! We havemanaged to acquire some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be Archie?" Barack asked.
"Well sir, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry 's farm tractor."

What to do in a Terrorist Attack
The US government has a new website, http://www.ready.gov. displayingpublic service symbols for terrorism readiness, in the tradition of the old "duck and
cover" campaigns after WWII.
The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean
anything! Here are a few guesses about what they mean:

If you have set yourself on fire, do not run
If you spot terrorism, blow your anti-terrorism whistle. If you are bald, yell really
loud.
