During an April 22 House Aviation Subcommittee hearing, participants provided testimony regarding the oversight of helicopter medical services as they relate to the safety of helicopter emergency medical services (EMS) operations. The Association of Air Medical Services' (AAMS) president, Sandy Kinkade testified, as did organizations such as Helicopter Association International (HAI), and others. In the past, the FAA believed that helicopter operators could make safety changes voluntarily. But, that may change now, the agency would soon begin a rulemaking proceeding to mandate the use of certain safety equipment and procedures. For related news

T-minus 14 days until open enrollment closes for ObamaCare. It is crunch time for thousands as they decide if they want to enroll, and ultimately how much of a tax credit to accept in order to determine their first premium payment amount. Much attention has been lavished on the "positives" of the ACA's tax credits (also called premium subsidies). White House press releases often highlight the impact of the credits while chiding others for not including them when discussing the new higher premiums under the law. Yet, the new reality of ObamaCare's tax credits has left finance reporters to pen articles warning readers to "take care" when considering a tax credit and providing strategies for how best to "protect yourself." So what do finance reporters know that the White House doesn't?
By accepting a tax credit, low-income or lower-middle class families face significant tax ramifications and potential financial risk. Congress has changed the rules twice on consumers for the credits, making the income cliffs steeper, and fully equipping the IRS to claw back overpaid subsidies (unlike the individual mandate penalty).
The flip side of the tax credits is almost unknown to the general public.
Who Exactly Gets The Tax Credits?
The ACA's tax credits are given directly to the insurance companies, and are calculated on a sliding scale, based on family size, and in theory, to those making between 138% and 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL) in states that have expanded Medicaid eligibility. In states that have not expanded Medicaid, the tax credits are available to those making between 100% and 138% FPL.
However, individuals can claim them by estimating that they will make over 100% FPL even if they end up making 90% FPL in these states, effectively closing the coverage gap we have heard Medicaid expansion supporters and the media complain so loudly about. However, the tax credits are unavailable to those with an "affordable" offer of employer-based insurance, or for those on other forms of government-approved coverage like standard Old Medicaid or Medicare.
Yet, soon to be published research by my colleague Jonathan Ingram will show that the tax credits phase out quickly for those in the exchange, and are therefore unavailable for many young people (18-34) in numerous states making far less than 400% FPL, based on the complex formula used to calculate the subsidies, and the price of the plans available on the exchange. This fact is only making the Administration's job of convincing young people to sign up even harder.
The credits can only be used in a government-sanctioned ObamaCare exchange. In other words, individuals purchasing private insurance on their own must decide if they want to keep their current insurance plan without a subsidy or drop their coverage to take the tax credit. Since so many states rejected the President's call to renew policies for those facing cancellations, and the recent extension of that policy, millions of Americans are facing this exact decision of joining an exchange or buying elsewhere by March 31st.
All citizens that take the credit must file a tax return to receive the credits regardless of their income. Failure to do so will result in them being prohibited from seeking a credit in the future. Married couples must file a joint return.
How You Take The Credit Could Determine Exposure
The initial tax credit calculation will be based on an applicant's income tax return from the previous year, or a best estimate of what it will be next year. The credit can be taken in advance at the beginning of the year. However, individuals who enroll in the ObamaCare exchange will run the risk of having to pay back a significant portion of the tax credit if their life circumstances change (more on this below).
The credit can also be taken on the following year's return in the form of a refund. However, individuals who make this decision will be responsible for coming up with the full cost of the ObamaCare exchange insurance at the beginning of the year. Individuals and families do have the option of taking a partial credit.
Congress Has Changed ObamaCare's Tax Credit Rules Twice
Republicans have by and large ignored the tax credit issue unless talking about the budget implications. Perhaps the silence is due to the fact that Congress has voted to change ObamaCare twice to increase the financial risk that families could face when they take the credit.
Since the enactment of ACA, these limits have been amended twice: first under the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-309), and then under the Comprehensive 1099 Taxpayer Protection and Repayment of Exchange Subsidy Overpayment Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-9). Congress changed the payback protection to vanish at the 400% poverty level and increased the payback amounts at 200% and 300% FPL from what they had been before.

While adding the resolution of 8832 to wseventing I noticed that we now repeat ourselves. In section 4 we now say: When processing a Renew, GetStatus or Unsubscribe operation, a Subscription Manager MUST generate an wse:UnknownSubscription fault if it determines that the subscription is invalid. We also say this same thing in Renew, GetStatus and Unsubscribe: If the request message reaches a conformant implementation of WS-Eventing and the message refers to an unknown subscription, then the implemention MUST generate a wse:UnknownSubscription fault. Seems a bit redundant. Is there any objection to removing duplicate text from Renew, GetStatus and Unsubscribe as an editorial task? thanks -Doug ______________________________________________________ STSM | Standards Architect | IBM Software Group (919) 254-6905 | IBM 444-6905 | email@example.com The more I'm around some people, the more I like my dog.Received on Tuesday, 27 April 2010 12:34:11 UTC

The Beginnings and Traditions of Mehregan
There are many accounts as to the beginning of Mehregan. A few, different versions are listed below:
During the time when the Avestan calendar was used, the year began at the cold season. The Christian year also starting in the cold season, follows the same concept as the Avestan calendar.
Some scholars believe that the month of Mehr was the beginning month of the calendar year during the Achaemenian era. The Mehregan feast celebrated the beginning of a new year. Later, Mehregan was especially important for the people of southern Iran who considered it still to be their Norouz.
In some form or another, the feast day of Mehregan has always been honored for many hundreds of years in Iran. Mehr is also the time of harvest.
Mehr in Avestan is "Miora" and in ancient Farsi and in Sanskrit is "Mitra" and in Pahlavi "Mitr". In modern Farsi, it has become Mehr. Although it can be slightly confusing, it should be remembered the word "Mehr" has been used for a God, an angel, a symbol of the sun, as well as the seventh month of the Iranian calendar.
When the Indo-Europeans lived together, Mehr was considered one of the great Gods of that time.
During the Achaemenian period, the name of the God Mehr was mentioned many times on the stone carvings. The Achaemenian army always came behind a flag, depicting Mehr as the sun shining. Mehregan was celebrated in an extravagant style at Persepolis. Not only was it the time for harvest, but it was also the time when the taxes were collected. Visitors from different parts of the empire brought gifts for the king all contributing to a lively festival.
The ancient Iranians thought Mehr was responsible for love and friendship, contracts and covenants, and a representation for light. Later, Mehr was also considered as a symbol of the sun. There again, Mehr was considered to be a God of heroism and warfare. The Iranian soldiers were strong believers and had songs for Mehr. With expansion of Achaemenian Empire, the worship of Mehr was taken to other countries.
By the first century A.D., Mitraism was a familiar religion in Rome and gradually spread throughout Western Europe as far as the shores of the Black Sea and the North Sea. Many people converted to this Iranian belief, since it was religion of ethics, hope, courage and generosity. Archeological excavations throughout Europe and Iran's neighboring countries have uncovered the buried remains of many Mehr temples. Quite a number of the very old churches of Europe were built in the style of these temples.
Quite a number of Roman Emperors converted to Mitraism. One emperor, Julianus, became a devoted follower of Mitra, and decided to go to Iran to visit the country of his God. On route he was murdered. As he lay dying, he threw his blood towards the sun and said "this is my gift to you".
There are still many rituals, traditions, beliefs and prayers of Mitra that have survived the popularity of Christianity. Some of these can be found in the Christian religion, such as the holy day, Sunday. This is a day that was named after the sun i.e. Mehr. Some other Christmas traditions are described in the section on the celebration of Yalda.
In ancient Iran, after Zaroaster introduced his new religion, the high standing of Mehr diminished. Zaroaster made great changes to old Iranian beliefs. Among other changes, he banned animal sacrifices and abolished the worship of many Gods. Although Mehr was reduced in stature from a God to an angel, some of the rituals and traditions remained and were incorporated into services for Ahura Mazda.
Long ago, Mehregan was celebrated with the same magnificence and pageantry as Norouz. It was customary for people to send or give their king, and each other gifts. It was common for people to give presents that they personally liked themselves! Rich people usually gave gold and silver coins, heroes and warriors gave horses while others gave gifts according to their ability, even an apple. Those fortunate enough, will help the poor with gifts.
Gifts over ten thousand gold coins given to the royal court were registered. At a later time, if the gift-giver needed money, the court would then return twice the gift amount. Kings gave two audiences a year; one audience at Norouz and other at Mehregan. During the Mehregan celebrations, the king wore a fur robe and gave away all his summer clothes.
Many times, even today when a child is born on Mehregan, the parents will name the child with a name starting with "Mehr" such as MehrDokht or MehrDad or MehrBanu.
After the Mongul invasion, the feast celebration
of Mehregan lost its popularity. Zoroastrians of Yazd and Kerman
continued to celebrate Mehregan in an extravagant way.
Celebrating Mehregan
For this celebration, the participants wear new clothes and set a decorative, colorful table. The sides of the tablecloth are decorated with dry wild marjoram. The holy book Avesta, a mirror and Sormeh Dan (antimony cellar) are placed on the table together with rose water, sweets, flowers, vegetables and fruits, especially pomegranates and apples. A few silver coins and senjed seeds (fruit of the lotus tree) are placed in a dish of pleasant smelling wild marjoram water. Almonds and pistachio are also used.
A burner is also part of the table setting for kondor (frankincense) and espand (rue seeds) to be thrown on the flames.
At lunch time when the ceremony begins, everyone in the family stands in front of the mirror to pray. Sherbet is drunk and then as a good omen, antimony is rubbed around their eyes. Handfuls of wild marjoram, senjed seeds and noghl (sugar plum) are thrown over each others heads while they embrace one another.
In some of the villages in Yazd, Zoroastrians
still sacrifice sheep for Mehr. These sacrifices are done on the
day of Mehregan and for three days afterwards. The sacrifice should
be done during the hours of sunlight. The sheep is placed on three
stones in the furnace, representing the good words, good deeds and good
thoughts, and barbecued. After this special ritual, the sheep, including
the skin and fat is taken to the fire temple'.
The fat is thrown on the fire to make the flames burn fiercely and then
the participants pray. This celebration continues for the next five
' - Fire Temples housed the perpetual flame, a central element in the Zoroastrian faith.

New York to the full
New York Travel Blog› entry 46 of 81 › view all entries
Finally i could get the impression of the full network, unlike last time, when i used only skytrain. As i was aware the metro of NY is one of the most dirty place among all the metros wolrwide. It's sometimes really crapy and looks like somewhere in the third world 9well, metros in the 3rd world look actually always good, so i dont know what i was trying to say;)
Anyways, since it's very unique system is very cool even when so dirty. It runs round the clock, has express lines and so on. This is the most important advantage and... disadvantage at the same time. It works pretty much well on the workdays, on weekends it starts to piss yu off.
We were trying to get on the local trains to get to Harlem on saturday. so we were staying at the local platform, but the trains kept coming as express trains there. We read the info about weekends so that we had to catch the local one at the oposite, but still there were only express coming there also. We were waiting something like 20 minutes or maybe more? It was annoying. The info at the platforms was not correct. The local trains disapeared fully. We decided then to catch the express and try to get back those few stations on local. And so we did. We took the express A uptown and then got on the local going downtown. It took us so much time. so if yu are traveling to NYC be aware, weekends and night services suck. Workdays are great;)

Arturo Vidal has refused to rule out a move from Juventus as reports suggest Manchester United are closing in on a deal.
Arturo Vidal's future at Juventus has come under a lot of speculations with reports suggesting that Manchester United are closing in on the Chilean international. The midfielder has also refused to rule out a move from Turin.
Vidal joined the Italian club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2011 and has since then been a regular in Antonio Conte's side. The 27-year-old has established himself as arguably the best midfielder in the world currently and has already won three Serie A titles with the Italian club.
Vidal finished last season with 11 goals and five assists in 28 starts in the league and his consistent performances has drawn a lot of attention from a host of European clubs. Real Madrid and PSG were initially linked with a move for him, but Manchester United are believed to be the current frontrunners in the race for his signature.
Reports in Chilean media suggest that the Red Devils are close to agreeing a fee with Juventus for this move. According to La Tercera, the deal will be worth £32million plus Patrice Evra. United officials have already held talks with Vidal's agent Fernando Felicevich and the Chilean international is keen on a move to Old Trafford.
Vidal, who returned from Brazil after Chile were knocked out of the World Cup, remains coy over his future at Juventus, but has refused to rule out a move.
"I've heard about the rumours, but I haven't spoken more about this subject.
"I'm enjoying my holidays, and when I return to Italy I'll see what happens.
"I'm very calm, but anyone would love to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world."
Vidal could very well join fellow countryman Alexis Sanchez in England, after he completed a move to Arsenal this week – and he thinks his switch to North London will be a successful one.
"I am happy for him, he needed to take a step like this and at Arsenal he will be able to do things very well." – Vidal said in an interview.
Vidal could become Manchester United's third big signing this summer after they splashed the cash on Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw earlier in this transfer window.

We have put together an exhaustive list including all skin diseases, conditions, disorders and problems you may encounter. Many of them are quite common, and you will likely recognize their names. Others may not be that familiar to you.
Either way, all of the skin conditions are presented alphabetically, so you can easily find what you are looking for below.
On each individual page, you will find an introduction, potential causes of the dermatological issue, and treatment options. Some conditions call for simply applying a mild cream; others may require a visit to a dermatologist for a prescription or procedure.
Wherever possible, we have included related skin conditions either within the body of the article or at the end for your reference.
Make sure you read through these as well as you may think that your skin problem is one thing when it is actually another. Many skin diseases present themselves similarly, and it is oftentimes difficult, even for doctors and experts, to determine what it is exactly.
Please remember, you should not try to diagnose your own skin condition. Although most of the time it's nothing to worry about, you can never be too sure. It's always a wise decision to have a doctor take a look just to be certain it is nothing to be concerned about.
Start your search by choosing from the links in the table below.
If you don't see a particular skin disease or condition here, send us an email and we'll do our best to put together a new information page for you. We are always adding new and updated information to the site, so check back with us often.
Again, don't self-diagnose when it comes to your skin or any other part of your body. Visit your dermatologist and let him or her take a look at your condition to make a proper diagnosis. You'll be glad you did.

RICHMOND, Ky. (AP) Glenn Cosey scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half as Eastern Kentucky pulled away for an 85-71 nonconference victory over Kennesaw State on Friday night.
The junior guard, who played two seasons at Columbus State Community College in Ohio, made two 3-pointers and a layup during an 14-7 run that gave the Colonels (2-0) a 50-41 lead with 12:43 left in the game.
Cosey added six points and Eric Stutz five during a late 11-4 run that stretched the lead to 85-66.
Markeith Cummings scored 22 points to lead the Owls (1-2), and Delbert Love scored 11 of his 12 points in the first half, which ended with Eastern Kentucky ahead 36-33 after eight lead changes.
The Colonels took advantage of 18 Kennesaw State turnovers while committing just 10 of their own.
The game was part of the Comfort Suites Invitational, a round-robin involving five teams.

Chevrolet is now offering Vette buyers a way to get some fast feedback, and it's using the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to introduce its new Corvette Performance Data Recorder.
The maker claims the optional device is the first in the industry to integrate audio, video and the ability to capture real-time vehicle telemetry. The information can be viewed from the car – when parked, of course – or downloaded to a personal computer. It can even be analyzed to improve a driver's technique.
"The Performance Data Recorder combines the ability to record and share drive videos with the power of a professional-level motorsports telemetry system," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. "Drivers can easily record and share their experiences driving down the Tail of the Dragon or lapping Road Atlanta. In addition, with the included telemetry software users can analyze their laps in incredible detail, and find opportunities to improve their driving and lap times."
The Corvette Performance Data Recorder, or PDR, was modeled after the professional system used in the Corvette racing program and developed in cooperation with British motorsports company Cosworth. The system will be introduced late in the third quarter of 2014, with pricing set to be announced closer to the launch.
The PDR consists of three major components, starting with a 720p high-definition camera mounted at the top of the windshield to give a driver's point-of-view recording. A self-contained telemetry system captures a wide range of vehicle information such as engine speed, transmission gear selection, braking and cornering forces and steering wheel angle.
The system also has its own GPS receiver that operates five times faster than the conventional navigation found in a Corvette. That allows the PDR to precisely follow the vehicle's movements around a track or road course.
The final piece of the package is an SD card slot tucked into the glove box. Recording time depends upon the size of the memory card used but can run to more than 13 hours with a 32 GB card.
A driver can get a quick replay by watching the recording on the Corvette's built-in 8-inch touchscreen – when parked. But the data also can be downloaded to a computer and even analyzed using the Cosworth Toolbox software that's included with the PDR. The application even uses a Bing satellite map of a track to allow a lap-by-lap comparison of both the driver's and vehicle's performance – and to help a motorist improve lap times.

The right time to invest in properties in Spain?
Keep in mind: Taxation and other costs!
(PresseBox) (
Due to the real estate and economic crisis in Spain, real estate prices have fallen, even in prime locations. As a result, Germans now have what appear to be favorable opportunities to buy properties in Spain. Should one take a chance now, or wait to see how things develop? That is the question many prospective buyers are asking themselves now.
Many foreign and resident investors are still hesitating, because real estate prices are expected to fall even further. Once the economy starts picking up, one could consider reacting swiftly and purchasing property in preferred locations.
In any case, private buyers would be well advised to weigh the pros and cons carefully before coming to a final decision. Anyone buying a vacation home in Spain just to use it once to four times a year should be doing so for pleasure and not purely as an investment.
Spanish tax authorities impose considerable taxes on any property purchases – in the form of the TIP (real-estate transfer tax) at a rate of at least 7% to 8% of the purchase price. If a company handles the purchase of a building site, as much as 21% in value added tax plus stamp duty of 1.5% to 2.5% can be added (see table). The real-estate transfer tax is charged to the customer, as is the value added tax. Of less importance, relatively speaking, is the municipal capital gains tax, usually only a few hundred or a thousand euros.
Notary fees are money well spent.
A notarized bill of sale and an entry made in the land register are not necessary to validate the purchase of real estate in Spain. However, it is highly recommended if you want to save yourself some nasty surprises. There have been cases of real estate having been sold several times over. Trying to get your money back is a long ordeal. When the services of a notary are employed to have the real estate recorded in the land register, the transaction can be regarded as watertight.
Private individuals who own real estate in Spain are responsible for filing their own income tax returns. Not only rental income earned is taxable (at a rate of 24.75% of the gross rental revenue), but also personal use, at a rate of 24.75% on 1.1% - 2% of the cadastral value. Spanish municipalities also impose property tax, at rates of 0.6% to 1.3% of the cadastral values.
The Spanish inheritance tax law and the gift tax may be time bombs waiting to go off for foreign owners of Spanish estate if they are not familiar with the Spanish tax system. Therefore expert advice is essential.

Our opinion: The public is owed full transparency when it comes to transporting dangerous cargo through their communities.
A train rumbling through people's backyards, pulling car after car of crude oil, would understandably raise concerns and questions. But what's a reasonable response when the public can't get answers to those questions? Deeper concern, for sure. Frustration, certainly. Outrage wouldn't be far behind.
Albany is now an increasingly important point in the route of crude oil from North Dakota and other points west. From the Port of Albany, the oil is transported via tankers down the Hudson River and on to refineries. The amount of oil passing through Albany is about to get a lot bigger.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has approved a Houston company's plan to more than double the amount it now ships through the Port of Albany — to up to a billion gallons annually.
Another firm, based in Massachusetts, is seeking the city's permission to construct a facility at the port to heat its heavy crude, also brought in by rail. The warming is necessary so the especially thick tar-like oil can be pumped onto the tanker vessels. The company, Global Partners, has not divulged the type of oil or its origin. It's speculated to be from Canadian tar sands, possibly rerouted due to the stalled Keystone XL pipeline project. The Obama administration has delayed approval of the pipeline, which would carry the crude from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico.
This is all part of a growing national trend that raises concerns locally, regionally and globally.
Locally, there are safety issues. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, shipments of oil and other petroleum products by rail were up nearly 50 percent during the first half of 2013, compared to a year earlier. With that increase has come a rise in accidents — through early November, there were 137 crude releases in 2013, The Associated Press reports, compared with just one in 2009, before the boom.
There have been several disasters, like July's runaway oil train that derailed and exploded in Lac Megantic, Quebec, killing 47 people and destroying dozens of buildings in the town. Last month, a rail collision in North Dakota sent flames and thick smoke into the air for more than 24 hours, forcing 2,400 residents to flee due to air quality concerns.
The frequency in spills is partly being blamed on the wide use of older-model tanker cars, which the National Transportation Safety Board says tend to rupture in accidents. While tanker standards were raised, most of the nation's fleet is not yet retrofitted.
The city of Albany must demand full transparency from Global Partners. What specifically will be processed at the facility? What tanker cars will they use? What safety measures will they incorporate?
On a national level, the rail transporters must be required to quickly upgrade to newer, safer rail tankers.
The nation, of course, needs to become less dependent on fossil fuels, period. In the meantime, citizens have a right to know what's rumbling through their backyard, and how safe it is. An accident is too late for those answers.

10/16H pre 5.2, 8/12n ToT
Outlandish is an alliance guild on the Velen server focused on progression, achievements, fun, and quality play. We formed on Velen in 2009, although a number of the members of the guild have been playing together for 5+ years. We desire to find more similar minded people that want to progress through Mists of Pandaria and beyond while not raiding 30 hours a week. We can offer you a stable, mature (sometimes) raiding environment.
We raid from 9 PM EST - Midnight EST Tuesday - Thursday. At our current schedule of 9 hours per week, we rank 16th in the US among guilds that raid 9 hours or less per week for 5.1/T14. As a result of our short raiding time, we expect people to be ready to rock right at 9 pm (invites @ 8:45,) and we pull and run back quickly to maximize our raiding time. We're the leading 25 man guild on Velen and have achieved server first Grand Crusader, Death's Demise, and Light of Dawn, as well as numerous individual server first achievements.
We are a very active guild, so if you're the type of person who logs on only for raids and then right off again, then this is probably not the guild for you. We also field a rated battleground team and will be looking to field an alt raid soon.
We generally accept the concept that people have lives outside of the game. To hedge against players occasionally missing a raid night for adequate reasons, we typically carry a conservative roster of 34-36 players. The officers are objective and fair in rotating players in and out of the bench, so all players see equal playing time under normal circumstances. At our current roster of 33, we're on the hunt for any exceptional applicants heading into 5.2 and beyond, but have slight preference for the following classes:
Feral Druid (Kitty; Bear offspec a plus)
Death Knight (DD; Blood offspec a plus)
Shaman (Elemental or Enhancement)
Healers (Paladins, Priests, Mistweavers preferred)
*Exceptional players of any class are encouraged to apply
Lesser need for:
Monk (Windwalker; Brewmaster offspec a plus)
At the same time, we're also on the market for good players (pretty sure it's a healer we're on the market for) for our RBG team atm. It runs from 8 EST to Midnight EST (at the latest, though it generally ends a bit earlier) Sundays (we've just added this day this week & we'll see how it works out) & Mondays.
Check us out at http://outlandish.dkpsystem.com (fill out an app!) or send a tell to Mindwarp (Mindwarp#1342), Gistwiki (Gistwiki#1686,) Morwen, Park, or Dukc with any questions. Hope to hear from you!

Timothy Ferriss Quarterly Box Subscription Review #TIM07
Timothy Ferriss is one of the original Quarterly curators, and the most popular curator on Quarterly's site.
Here is Quarterly's bio on Tim:
Timothy Ferriss wrote the #1 national bestseller The 4-Hour Chef. The theme of his Quarterly mailings is obsession—the ideas and objects he can't get out of his head.
My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Subscription Box: Timothy FerrissQuarterly Box
The Cost: $100
The Products: The theme of his Quarterly mailings is obsession—the ideas and objects he can't get out of his head.
Ships to: US and Worldwide (additional shipping costs for Canada and International orders).
Delivered via: USPS
Good to Know: Quarterly accepts returns if you aren't happy with a box!
Each Quarterly box comes with a letter from the curator detailing the items included and why they were selected. For this box, Tim included items that "will help you enhance cognitive function, improve fitness and sleep, and (potentially) transform your approaches to money, the markets, and life in general."
Tim's letters are a little different – he covers each item in depth in a video.
MisFit Shine – Value $99 (On Amazon for $92)
This device is an activity tracker – but unlike a lot of similar devices on the market it has a 6-month battery and doesn't need charged. I've tried a few of these devices before: Jawbone (it stopped working after a month) and FitBit (I just stopped wearing it after a while), but I'm thinking I'll give this a try. For me, having to remember to charge FitBit and put it back on was somewhat of a barrier. And this gets good reviews on Amazon so I'm intrigued!
What I Learned Losing A Million Dollars – Retail Value $28 (On Amazon for $23)
This book gets excellent reviews on Amazon, and takes an interesting and unique approach to the wealth building book genre. I'm excited to read it. (It also won the 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal).
Rishi Tea in Tumeric Ginger – Value $7.50
Natural Stacks CILTREP Optimal Mental Performance – $42.95
I love tea, and this blend is unique and different to what I usually drink, so I'm happy! I don't think the Natural Stacks mental performance capsules are for me though. There are a few too many warnings that go along with it!
Cocoon GRID-IT – Value $15
I received one of these GRID-ITs in a Lost Crates a long time ago, and they are really useful for traveling. I don't travel enough to justify keeping it, so I'll probably gift this.
Verdict: This box cost $100 and has a value of about $190. I think everything in the box is quality and there are no "filler" items, so I'm happy with the value. The capsules are the one thing that aren't a fit for me, but otherwise I thought this was a very interesting and unique box. (And I love getting new books to read I wouldn't normally come across).
What do you think of #TIM07?

Bond PROPOSES AMENDMENTS TO BLOCK BACKDOOR EPA REGULATIONS Senator Submits Provisions to Protect Family Farms and Small Businesses WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Kit Bond today introduced a pair of amendments to protect farmers, families and workers from backdoor attempts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to impose new carbon dioxide regulations.

Missouri wind speeds for energy production lower
than predicted
COLUMBIA, Mo. –Average wind speeds in Missouri are lower than reported on a
state-produced wind map, said a University of Missouri atmospheric scientist.
This finding may affect utilities and private investors planning to build wind
turbines to provide clean, renewable energy.
Lower-than-predicted wind speeds also may make it harder to meet goals set
in 2008 by Missouri Proposition C, which requires investor-owned electric
utilities to obtain a gradually increasing percentage of their energy from
renewable sources.
In a two-year study, MU atmospheric scientist Neil Fox gathered data from
10 wind towers across the state. At 100 meters (230 feet) above ground level,
the height at which wind turbines operate, wind speeds averaged between 0.1 and
1 meter per second slower than estimated on a wind map produced by the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
"While this is not good news, on the positive side, it is better to know
the genuine wind speed rather than overestimate things," Fox said. "To reach the
targets of Prop C, we will need to use a range of renewable sources, and the
amounts of each type of energy have to be based on accurate data."
The DNR wind map used measurements of ground-level wind speeds and other
data to estimate wind speeds at turbine height, he said. "Characterizing how
wind changes as we go up above the surface is actually very difficult. The
standard equations that get used don't always work very well."
The strongest winds are in the northwest corner of the state. Fox said
these sites appear to be the ones where the errors are smaller.
"In northwest Missouri, where most wind farm development to date has taken
place, we'd expect to see slightly less power generated than we might have
thought before," he said. "Developers are not going to get quite the same return
on their investment as they thought."
The disparity is worse in other parts of the state, though Fox said that
wind power in those areas still has potential for niche applications. "There may
be a role for smaller turbines, for personal or community-based power generation
rather than these large wind farms that a utility company would build."
He noted that two years might be too short a time to establish a definitive
climatology. The DNR wind map drew on data sampled over a 15-year period. Both
data sets contain uncertainties calling for more investigation, he said.
"We may find that these last two years we've been measuring were the worst
two years in history," Fox said. "Or we may find they were the best two

The reason I said this is because, throughout my tenure with online infertility communities, you stand out as an odd example with so many blasts and such amazing responses but without a take home baby. It is UNFAIR. I have a hunch that it may be receiving issue, not your egg quality because you really never did CGH and I would be seriously amazed if you don't have one normal among so many blasts. Plus, if I remember correctly that you were on pretty low stim as well.
I really hate to see you fail on DE just because of one little receiving issue you didn't look into. I saw this quite a bit on DE board and it is really heartbreaking.

Check out our pick of the top 7 unique Father's Day gifts:
As a general rule, men hate shopping — particularly if it's for something necessary, but utterly unexciting like socks. With Sockscription, Dad may never have to shop for socks again. For $89 annually, the service delivers three pairs of high-quality Italian-made socks three times a year. "Sockscribers" can choose from many styles including calf socks, knee socks, athletic socks, ski socks or cashmere silk socks. Order at www.blacksocks.com.
If dear old dad likes to relax after a long, hard day with an ice-cold brewski, sign him up for a beer of the month club. Check out www.beermonthclub.com, which send its members twelve 12-oz. bottles of different handcrafted microbrewed beers from around the world every month.
Most men seem to gravitate toward techie gadgets – and keeping up with the trends is never-ending. Help Dad keep up the times by getting him the latest and great techie tool, whether it's a digital frame, new iPod or BlackBerry. Check out our Father's Day techie gift guide for more gadget ideas.
Treat Dad to a day on the links, a quiet morning casting a line into the river or taking in a ballgame together. The best thing you can give your father is the gift of spending some quality time together and creating some wonderful new memories.
Dad works hard all the time, so why not give him the day off! Have him kick up his feet and relax while you mow the lawn or wash his car. If he has a mile-long "honey do" list of things to fix around the house, call up a handyman and have some of those projects taken care of for him.
Luxurious luggage is the ideal gift for the man who travels often. Help Dad stay organized when he's away from home with a sleek and sophisticated travel kit such as the Tumi Alpha hanging leather travel kit, featuring numerous interior and exterior pockets.
Dad's had the same recliner since you can remember, but in all honesty, it's seen better days. Surprise him by having the chair reupholstered in a comfortable new fabric that's similar to the original one. No matter what it is that dad holds near and dear, he'll appreciate your heartfelt sentiments.

During that time, I tried every food (meaning all healthy kibbles), vet RX food, just about everything, and nothing worked until I found raw. At first, I'll admit, I wasn't a fan because its expensive, its gross and it requires more work than just dumping some kibble in his bowl. But, as anyone who knows me, knows I would do anything for my dog, so I tried it – and his chronic diarrhea went away, his itchiness went away, his coat is always shinny, and people cant believe he'll be 7 years old because he's in such amazing shape!
Feeding a whole, raw food diet has been associated with:
Increased energy
Healthier skin and the elimination of itchy skin conditions
Shinier fur with less shedding
Healthier teeth, gums, and better breath
Firmer muscle tone with increased strength and mobility
Healthy digestion and smaller, firmer stools
Stronger immune system
Better weight management
Raw food is also believed to help mitigate and prevent:
Kidney and liver disease
Heart disease
Pancreatic disease
Autoimmune disease
Cats and dogs are natural carnivores. They have long, sharp teeth designed for meat eating, and their digestive tract is much shorter and secretes enzymes that enable them to safely consume raw meat. Their stomach acids are so much stronger than ours that they tend to kill off almost all pathogenic bacteria anyway. Raw food is high in protein and the natural nutrients that your pet needs.
Most processed kibble and canned pet foods are the equivalent of junk food for your pet. The intensive manufacturing processes create an inferior and biologically inappropriate product that is low in nutritional value and lacks vital food enzymes. Feeding these foods can lead to a negative effect on our pet's health. Raw, whole ingredients will support and optimize a healthy immune system and wellness.
If you do the switch, don't be alarmed when your dog poops a lot less, and it's much smaller in size- this is supposed to happen because the food he is eating is high quality and its being used instead of excreted.
Why not give it a try! There's plenty of brands out there to make it easier than figuring it out on your own, and in the long run, you will save money on your pet's medical bills, good luck!

The Predicament of Mankind and the European Union by Ginet Sosemito
Did the European Union and ECB take The Predicament of Mankind into consideration when founded.
The Club of Rome is looking at the establishment of an entity not to be foreseen when writing The Predicament of Mankind, an entity named EU.
Considering an entire continent being involved with the establishment of the EU, The Predicament of Mankind by The Club of Rome should have been taken into consideration as it should have been discussed worldwide and at The World Economic Forum.
Have the hostilities amongst the people increased or decreased with the birth of the EU. If so, a positive impulse is needed.
Perhaps when the EU was established it should have considered one Government. --After having communicated with the people to come to terms.
Perhaps Europe's misery comes forth from not only a lack of communications from the Government with the people, not 'at', and the individual states and countries who see a divide within their borders as well.
We are therefore looking at a Union of severely divided countries amongst each other and themselves.
If each and every EU member is observing a divide within its country and a comatose economy with accompanying mindset of the people,
then clearly a reassessment is needed. And possibly one Government as the United States of America has. What will this constitution hold.
If this new Constitution would encompass, the Freedom of Speech, Economic Growth, no more Holocausts & Economic Apartheid, a renewed vision,
a renewed vision based on the current world which has developed technologically and integrate Globally sans the political model which dates back prior to WWII.
There is a clear contradiction in the Political model and the current evolved man.
The evolved man however is not seen by the current Political model. Because,
A) there are those who wish to not see B) the comatose state.
The current evolved man & mankind is so strong & beautiful that it scares those who have taken the antique political model to call their own.
That which you see in Europe is the Beautiful & Strong peoples crying in the streets to oppose those who have robbed them from just that.

|Reviews for Unknown Forces
| Nikki Mondazze chapter 1 . 7/11/2011
This is definitely a great start to what could be a longer novel. I would be curious to know what becomes of the wolf in the body of Red Riding Hood. I would put this tale into a modern context, maybe a girl that friends call "red" because of her red hair...Idk. Try that for a spin and see where the story takes you. Will the wolf turn the girl into a murderer, a sly, stealthy cannibal? Will the girl change the wolf-will he find value in humans, possibly befriend her own friends? Will he eventually give up the hold he has on the girl so that her soul can reclaim her body...because it's the right thing to do? Anyhow, love it. Keep it up, firefox b.
| Rakaziel chapter 1 . 7/11/2011
Really cool twist on the story and well written. The style reminds me a bit at one story by Lovecraft but since it was a translation I can not exactly pinpoint if you captured his style or not. Anyway, it is well written.

Content marketing agency with a magazine mindset
Your customers are now spending up to 75% of the buying cycle researching online themselves before they choose a supplier. To get on their radar during this crucial period, you must publish highly valuable content that educates and nurtures them through their decision-making process towards your brand. If you don't, your prospects will simply discover your competitors.
Our magazine mindset makes the difference
With the rapid rise of content marketing, many agencies are jumping on the bandwagon and this has led to significant amounts of low quality content being published for content's sake.
We are a content marketing agency staffed by journalists and we take a very different approach: we apply a magazine mindset to our content marketing.
What that means is:
- Our content marketing team consists of editors, professional journalists and designers – not SEO copywriters.
- We research your audience and find out exactly what it is they like to read
- We put an editorial plan in place, giving structure and purpose to your content marketing
- We create content that totally hones in on the needs of your audience
- We provide you with a wide range of content, including:
- Industry news articles
– Discussion pieces
– Blogs
– Infographics
– Lengthier feature articles
– Tips and advice pieces
– Reviews
– Q&As
– Industry round-ups
– Interviews
- Every piece of content undergoes a strict editorial review – quality is paramount
- Every article adds value to your overall portfolio (ie. we never create content for content's sake)
- We constantly analyse what resonates with your audience (their preferences are constantly evolving) and drop what doesn't
- We aim to grow your 'readership' not just your website traffic
- We think commercially about your content marketing, always aiming to increase ROI
- We consider content marketing to be an on-going practice – the body of work builds momentum
You trust it, you look forward to each issue and are a loyal reader. It keeps you up to date, educates and entertains you. It is a commercial concern which demands a return. Your content should do the same.

Lakic has struggled to find a regular place in the Wolfsburg team this season, making only one start and eight total appearances in the league.
The Croatian joins an Eintracht side that resides in fourth place in the Bundesliga table, three points above fifth-place Mainz.

Concern for a FriendVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Person
My really good friend just started going out with this guy she's known for six months. She's a senior and very mature for her age, but he's a junior and acts like a ten year old. He doesn't really treat her right either. Like, he asks her to wait on him and stuff, and she does. He's already spoiled because she spends all of her time with him, and he expects her to. My question is, do you think this relationship can go anywhere? And should I just stay out of it? Either way, one of them's going to get hurt because she's going off to the Navy. I don't want that to happen to either one of them. So what can I do to help them? And what if she gets hurt?
RomanceClass.com Advice
Their relationship can grow or it can falter. It is up to them.
You can tell your friend what your worries are, but don't be surprised if she feels differently.
Once you tell her, your job is done. Don't get yourself too involved or you will get blamed for what happens.
Good luck! George

The harsh reality
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
I have gained 32 pounds since April 2013. My brain knew I was gaining because I never stopped weighing myself. The more I gained, the more I ate. The more I ate, the more anxious I became. The more anxious I am, the more I eat. The more I eat, the more weight I gain.
I felt like I was spiraling down and just couldn't break the cycle. I could ignore it while at work most of the time. I stay distracted. As soon as I clock out the anxiety begins to build. By the time I get home it's almost like an addiction I HAVE to feed. Then I eat all evening long until I just can't hold any more. By the time I go to bed I am so miserable that I am having to sleep sitting up again. Extra food + Extra weight = Severe Reflux.
Today started good. On track for Breakfast. On track for Lunch. No snacks, doughnuts or cakes to tempt me at the desk today.
Then I clocked out and headed home. The anxiety started to build and I could feel what was coming. I told myself like many times before that I wouldn't give in. I kept telling myself "you know you are not hungry!". I told myself to change when I get home, into gym clothes and go do 'something'. I knew when I got home I would be ignoring myself yet again.
By the time I made it home I almost felt paralysed by the anxiety and knowing I would be letting myself down again.
I walked into the house and just stopped. I took several long breaths and walked into my room and changed into my 'gym' clothes and walked straight back out the door! I went to the gym. I felt nervous and uncomfortable. It was the first time I had been to the new coed gym. I got on the treadmill thinking this would be the easy way to start. I did 17 mins at a 3.5 incline and 2.5 miles/hr. I know that does not sound like a lot but when I started a few years back all I could do was 5 mins at 1.5 miles an hour, so I was very impressed with myself. I got off the treadmill and wiped it down. I even made myself stand there and do all of my stretches which I am very uncomfortable doing in public. As I was finishing my stretches, I glanced up and right into a mirror.
To say I was shocked would be an understatement. My mind shouted, "Who IS that?!" and I just stared. I was horrified. I was concentrating so hard on trying to talk myself into the gym that I never paid attention to what I looked like in my gym clothes. The same gym clothes I was using 32 pounds ago. It was not a pretty site and all I could keep thinking was, "I look like the michelin man." Do you remember him? Look it up. That was me minus the smile and muscled arms.
I left as quickly as possible. I sat in my van for a long time thinking. How did I get this bad? How can I look like that? I knew the weight was gaining but I didn't realize I was 'that' bad because I had stopped looking at myself in the mirror except except to brush my hair. Talking about a bad reality check.
I deserved that but I just can't live like this. It's not me. I drove to WalMart and went inside, very aware of how tight and small my clothes were. Cutting and binding in spots I didn't notice before the mirror. I can't tell you how many clothes I tried on and almost threw them all back. But I didn't. I walked out of their with 3 new brightly colored workout shirts! All size 3X! That is a high for me and not a good high.
I came back home entered my fitness into SparkPeople tracker, entered my food choices into the food tracker and fixed my meal and ate it very slowly. I took my shower and sat down again and decided to make a blog entry to help me work through some of my feelings.
I know this isn't a very positive post but this was my day. It was the best day I have had in a very long time and I hope to have many more like it. (Minus the tight workout clothes and looking into the mirror!)
I set my goals on the new start page this morning before leaving for work. I think setting those goals where I could see them was a push I needed to change something, do something today. I am so thankful for SparkPeople and my SparkFriends!

This "Sixth migration" of massive human migration to Texas is the larger story of the book, and it is a significant story.
The migration pattern—families that have failed elsewhere and come here for a last chance—becomes clear quickly enough.
And more are on the way in a migration likely to continue for months.
Such acts send a powerful signal, says Kevin Appleby, head of migration policy for the USCCB.
The habitat requirements of elk and their speed of migration are probably the same today as at the end of the Pleistocene.
She knew where the Monarch butterfly went on his winter migration.
The migration of Europeans to the American continent was the final step.
It is scarcely probable that there could have been only one migration of the Persians.
