At the break of dawn last week, tractors rolled into the Rogue Farms hopyard to begin their 8th harvest. Over the next four weeks, our 8 varieties of our proprietary hops will be picked, stripped, sorted, kilned, cooled and baled before being driven 77 miles to the Rogue brewery in Newport, Oregon.
This year, the global production of hops is set to rise 21%, the highest in seven years. Hop acreage in the Northwest alone is up 17%, a record high. At Rogue Farms we planted an additional 10 acres this year, bringing our total hop acreage to 52. This accounts for .039059422% of global hop acreage.
"The hop market has changed a lot since we became farmers in 2008," said Brett Joyce, President of Rogue Ales. "The ingredients we grow at Rogue Farms are by far the most expensive ingredients we use, but we're able to guarantee our supply and quality as the demand for hops, especially the aroma varieties like we grow at Rogue Farms, explodes across the country."
To see for yourself how Rogue Farms hops are harvested, check out our Farms blog's latest post.

The nation is swelling with a sea of pink as October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The pink race T-shirts, the pink ribbons pinned on jackets and the pink wristbands are all worn to symbolize femininity, but also to spotlight the lurking health risk among its majority, women.
What exactly are the statistics among females afflicted with the disease? According to the American Cancer Society, approximately one in four diagnosed cancers among women (exclusive of skin cancers) is breast cancer. One in eight women will learn she has invasive breast cancer and one in 35 women will tragically lose her life to the disease.
A recent Swedish study, the Mammography Screening of Young Women (SCRY), details a 26 percent to 29 percent reduction of breast cancer-related deaths among the demographic of females ages 40 to 49 who underwent mammograms. From 1986 to 2005, researchers followed 1 million women and compared those who underwent routine mammography screenings with those who didn't undergo screenings. The study results, available online in Cancer, suggest that one life can be saved or prolonged per every 1,250 women who schedule routine mammograms.
The results of this study are creating a tidal wave of controversy, especially as skeptics are criticizing the data as inflated and biased. Precedents and recent studies, including one by the United States Task Force in November 2009, proposes that women between the ages of 40 and 49 do not need to get mammograms on a regular basis, as risk of breast cancer is low within that age range. The team of panelists and other specialists instead championed that women should communicate with their doctors and health specialists to determine what's best for them on an individual basis.
"In the cancer screening world, there isn't a more controversial topic in my opinion than the early detection of breast cancer, especially among women between the ages of 40 and 49," says Dr. J. Leonard Lichtenfeld, Deputy Chief Medical Officer for the American Cancer Society, on his blog.
The mortality rates of the SCRY study vary between women who were invited to participate in the mammography screenings versus the participants who actually participated. Dr. Lichtenfeld explains, "After doing some very sophisticated analyses, the researchers concluded that women in the 40-49 years old age group who were invited to screening decreased their rates of death from breast cancer by 26 percent. When they looked only at women who actually got screened, that rate increased to 29 percent."
So why the statistical controversy? "To some, that number may be sufficient to justify screening, to others it is too many women [who] would have to be screened. In other words, it becomes a value judgment whether enough lives are saved from breast cancer in the 40-49 [year old] age group to justify screening," said Dr. Lichtenfeld.
So what do women in their 40s, like Kathleen Hake, think about this? "It's hard to decipher all the conflicting information and to balance one's own fears and anxieties with some common sense. Everyone knows someone who has had breast cancer at a young age," Hake said. She opted to defer to her doctor's suggestions, since she has very dense breast tissue and small fibroids, to get a baseline mammogram at age 36 and another at 43.
Meanwhile, she doesn't plan to undergo another screening for several years, closer to when she's 50. "I think I'll be focusing on the basics -- a healthy lifestyle," she said.
Barbara Foster, age 46, is supportive of the study's new results. "There's no doubt that I want to do everything that I can to stay healthy and proactively take care of my body. Are mammograms necessary at my age? I think so. After all, there wouldn't be so much controversy in the medical field if there wasn't an inkling that 40-year-old women and up should undergo screenings," Foster said. "And who's to say that I'm not going to end up a statistic? The one in one thousand something whose life is saved? If a screening saves lives, then just go for it."
Organizations like The American Cancer Society recommend that women schedule annual mammograms, beginning at age 40. The society argues that early detection of cancer by way of mammography leads to earlier treatment as well as more varied treatment options.
But, at the end of the day, you're in charge of your body and your health, no matter what demographical statistics say. Do your research. Talk to your doctor. Discuss your concerns. Voice your thoughts. How much value would you put on your life?

Lap Dancing Clubs in Warwickshire
Warwickshire is a small region in the West Midlands bordering on Coventry and Birmingham. It has no cities but the biggest towns are Nuneaton, Leamington Spa, Rugby, Bedworth, Stratford Upon Avon, Kenilworth and Warwick itself, with just under 100,000 people living in each town. The region surrounds but does not include Coventry which has unitary status.
Leamington was of course a Victorian bath resort which is where the Spa part comes from. There many place names in Warwickshire that end 'in-Arden' like Tanworth-in-Arden, Henley-in-Arden and Hampton-in-Arden which comes from villages reclaimed from the forest.
There are only two clubs, Cazbar in Stratford and Shades Gentlemens Club in Leamington Spa. This is a very low total for an English region, but considering how near Birmingham is and how small the towns are its not surprising.
The area is known for its quality fee paying schools like Rugby School, Princethorpe College, Warwick School, Southam College and King Edward VI School which play write William Shakespeare went to! Stratford Upon Avon is a major tourist attraction for the region bringing fans of his plays and poetry from around the world. It has a museum, working theatre and more Elizabethan buildings that any other place in the world. As well as a strip club on Union Street!
It is unusual for not having an professional football clubs but being the only English county that participates in Gaelic sports on a regular basis. Warwickshire County Cricket Club had Windies legend Brian Lara on the books from 1994 to 1998.
The region has many distribution centres for big companies which employ many people, this replaces heavy industry, textiles and mining that employed people in earlier times.
There are two important castles namely Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle. The first is a medieval castle and mansion house, Kenilworth dates further back to Tudor and Norman times.

One may ask "Why use that outdated ancient language?" The answer is simple, to use the earliest known form of a language is like drinking the purest, cleanest water you can get. Changes in letter formations also change meaning of words in some languages. In Paleo or Pictograph Hebrew, the letters are not only representations of sound, they also represent pictures or symbols. The reader of Paleo or Pictograph-Hebrew can gain a richer, more in-depth meaning of words. This enhances interpretation of Scripture.

Amy Schumer isn't just on the July cover of Vogue (first time!). The comedienne also stars in a hilarious video with none other than the magazine's HBIC, Anna Wintour. And, surprisingly, Amy isn't the funniest one here.
Basically, the two women decide to swap jobs because they both think the other person has it easier. Amy plays Editor-in-Chief of the fashion bible for the day and fails miserably, while Anna takes a stab at some stand-up at the Comedy Cellar and totally nails it! Never thought I'd see the day when Miranda Priestly Anna Wintour could score some laughs. Watch below:

There are certainly things to like about this film. From the introduction of the new X-Men (the new Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Storm, and an increased role for Quicksilver), to the powerhouse acting performances by James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, to several memorable action sequences, it's a 2 hour and 25 minute movie sprinkled with highlights.
Which is precisely where the flaws of the film lie. The film often drags on exposition and side plots to the point of dullness. Also, as good an actor as Oscar Isaac is, he was not exactly menacing as Apocalypse. For a mutant who was supposed to be the very first of its kind, who is able to change elements at will and whose power supersedes that of Professor X, he did not strike a fear into the viewer. I was not terrified of Apocalypse; rather, my thought shifted to wondering how the X-Men would be able to defeat him.
(As much flak as Marvel has received for its lack of focus on its films' villains, I gravitated towards the charming yet dangerous presence of Ultron, in the short moments he was featured in "The Avengers: Age of Ultron." It was really a waste of such a great performance by James Spader.)
It's only June and already four comic book movies have been released. I'd ranked them in this order, with the first being my must-see and last being wait for home video release.
- Captain America: Civil War
- Deadpool
- X-Men: Apocalypse
- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Euro plummets as Italian yields reach bailout levels
28/Νοέ/2011 • Currency Updates•
Reality finally cought up with the common currency last week. Risk assets worlwide sold off as the crisis in Euroepan sovereigns worsened significantly. Italian yields surged clear past the point that forced Portugal, Greece and Ireland to seek a bailout in the past. Further news emerged that the peripehral crisis is spreading to the core. News outside Europe was not helpful, either, with a large 3 point drop in Chinese manufacturing confidence and the collapse of the supercommittee debt reduction talks in the US. However, it is clear that investors worlwide are focused squarely in the worsening disaster out of Europe. There are no signs that German or ECB policymakers are any closer to accepting, or even understanding, the reality of the situation, and we see no reasons to be optimistic at this stage. The Euro started to close the large gap between its still lofty valuation and the disastrous European situation, and dropped over 2% against the dollar.
We were somewhat surprised by last weeks' relaese of the November MPC minutes. There was unanimous agreement to keep both rates and the level of asset purchases unchanged. Given the negative tone of the latest Inflation Report, we would have expected at least some members to vote for further purchases of Gilts. However, it must be remembered that the Minutes are three-weeks old, and much has happened since then. We expect that the disastrous events out of Europe will nudge a few members towards a further increase in the purchase target as early as next meeting, and a majority will vote for them early in 2012. Meanwhile, demand figures for 3Q GDP were released, confirming our view of fast-slowing private demand and the distinct possibility of an outright contraction in 4Q. It is a significant development that the surprising hawkishness of the Bank of England did nothing to support Sterling, which fell in against the dollar in lockstep with the Euro.
The not-so-slow-motion trainwreck in the Eurozone sped up a bit last week. An Italian bond auction went badly, forcing the sovereign to pay an eye-popping 8% for 2-year bonds. This is a completely unsustainable level, and well past the point where Greece, Ireland and Portugal were forced to ask for a bailout. Ominously, stress extended to core European sovereigns, and a sloppy auction of German debt suggested that investors are fleeing an increasingly disfunctional Eurozone. We fail to see how the EFSF bailout facility will be able to sell debt in the large amounts needed to bailout Italy in these circumstances. Only the ECB has the necessary firepower to do so, but its officials show no sign that they are about to give up their struggle against financial and economic reality. Meanwhile, macroeconomic data continues to deteriorate, as the recession spreads from the periphery to the core and confidence collapses. Unemployment rose again to 10.3% in October, and September manufacturing orders plunged by a dramatic 6.4%. The news that the conservative PP party had obtained a clear majority in the Spanish elections had essentially no impact in markets, indicating that investors do not believe internal policies in the distressed sovereigns will make much difference in the Eurocrisis. The common currency, meanwhile, began to close the massive gap that has opened up between its relatively high valuation and the levels of stress in European bond markets, dropping over 2% against the dollar.
Macroeconomic newsflow out of the US turned more mixed last week. 3Q GDP was revised down to 2.0% from 2.5%, though this was entirely due to inventories, leaving domestic demand growth unrevised at 3.6%. More disappointing were the news on durable goods orders, and October consumer spending. Whilst there appears to be sufficient momentum to keep growth positive thorough the end of 2011, 2012 is shaping up to be a very difficult year. A combination of fiscal drag, dropping consumer cinomes, weak asset prices and the unpredictable fallout from the European disaster makes us think that a double dip recession for next year is quite possible unless policymakers take aggressive steps both in the US and Europe. The current backdrop, however, is positive for the dollar, which we expect to be supported by its safe haven status, its atractive valuation, and the absence of explciit intervention against its appreciation.

wala na pala yung isang thread. anyway, iba talaga ang strat... the best when it comes to playability and versatility... sana pasko na, para magka strat na ko ulet...
but noisy when stock...unless u have the bread to install new noiseless pups
I used to drool over traditional Stratocaster guitars (with traditional meaning SSS pickups, no Floyd Rose bridge, two tone knobs, one volume knob, 5-way switch). But over the course of time, I've come to realize that I really prefer Strats with humbucking bridge pickups. High gain or overwound single coil bridge pickups don't cut it for me; I need a meaty humbucker tone sometimes
Of course, I do have a Fender
This one originally had a white 3 ply pickguard, but I think the tortoise looks waaaaayyyy better
.. All stock as well, even the wiring
. This one has the Delta tone circuitry
Love them all!!! Chum

You Did What? Saying 'No' To Conventional Cancer Treatment
by Hollie Quinn & Patrick Quinn
This is a story about a young woman with a very common but deadly illness who did a very uncommon thing when faced with that disease. She disagreed with her doctors, rejected their treatment advice, and chose her own path to getting well again. She did this in the face of paralyzing fears of dying and leaving behind a motherless daughter. She did this in the face of the daunting task of researching and choosing a better treatment. She did this in the face of the intense pressures of social conformity telling her to listen to her doctors. What she did was extraordinarily brave and forward-thinking. In effect, she forged a better path through a thicket of fear, complexity, and pressure. She forged this path with the help of her husband, working as a team and exhibiting unyielding togetherness. This book chronicles the journey they took together, back to health.

Fort Dix Federal Credit Union, Standing with Our Nation's Military for Over 50 Years
Commanding generals, sergeant majors, and other officers
FT. DIX, N.J. – The philosophy that credit unions were built on is "people helping people." Credit unions were formed by those who had a common bond—workers, friends, neighbors, family members, for example—who sought to fill a need for financial support. The story of how Fort Dix Federal Credit Union came to be is one of family: both the brotherhood of men in the service and the daughter of one its founders, who runs the credit union to this day.
First called Camp 13 (and then Camp Dix), Fort Dix was built in 1917 as a training and staging area for troops headed to Europe to fight in World War I. The name was changed when the facility was significantly expanded in 1939, to serve the same purpose for troops headed to fight in World War II.
The mission continued after each of those wars, helping de-mobilize returning troops and eventually transitioning to mobilizing, training, deploying, and demobilizing Army Reserve and National Guard units. One of the largest sites in the country, some weekends see as many as 15,000 reservists on the base.
Fort Dix FCU was founded by men in the military to serve the unique needs of active and retired military members, along with civil service members and their families, which sets it apart from other financial institutions who have a one-size-fits-all approach to banking products and services.
Under the direction of Chief Warrant Officer Clarence P. Lines, Fort Dix FCU was founded on May 1, 1963 by Sergeant Major Max D. Martin and Post Sergeant Major John E. Kerner, whose daughter Janet Sperling runs the credit union today.
In the early 1960s, Kerner was assigned to Fort Dix as Post Sergeant Major and, at the time, there was no credit union that served the Army assigned to Fort Dix. This was especially problematic for the younger soldiers, many of whom did not have cars, and had a difficult time cashing checks and applying for loans without having to go off-base.
John and Bertha Kerner
Kerner was tasked alongside Sergeant Major Max Martin by Chief Warrant Officer Clarence Lines to do the research and establish a Fort Dix credit union to help these soldiers in need. The credit union opened the doors of its first location, a trailer, on May 1, 1963 with the first deposit of about six dollars. At that time, the maximum loan amount was set at $150.00. The original group of members was made up of 12 soldiers. After just eight months of service, the institution had welcomed more than 700 members.
During the summers of 1977 and 1978, the operations of the credit union became a family affair as the daughter of John and Bertha Kerner, Janet Sperling, began working part-time at the credit union. During that time, Sergeant Major Martin, at that point retired from the military, was the designated manager and also held a seat on the board. Bertha Kerner was the assistant manager and treasurer on the board, and John Kerner was the chairman of the board. Shortly after graduating from high school, Sperling became a full-time employee due to the unexpected passing of Sergeant Major Martin. Since then, Sperling has climbed the ranks, to become the CEO of Fort Dix FCU.
Sperling has seen the base and the credit union's members change over the course of her 40 years with the credit union, especially after the merging of McGuire Air Force Base, United States Army Fort Dix, and Navy's Naval Air Engineering Station Lakehurst in 2009. "With each war and each conflict, something has been different," she explains. "There is no draft anymore, so you have less of the constant flux of younger people. We have more retired people, who have settled in this area, now than there were before because you had your boom of soldiers after World War II and after Vietnam who had to make a decision when they got out. What were they going to do? Where were they going to go?"
Despite the changes, the members of the Fort Dix FCU are here to stay because of the consistent, personalized service they receive. Sperling shares one of her favorite memories of her mother helping a member, which exemplifies the values Fort Dix FCU continues to provide to the their community. Bertha Kerner received a call from a member, an older gentleman that had just gotten out of the military, who had gotten into some trouble with the law and was going to face jail time if he didn't post bail. After his arrest, he asked for a phonebook, looked up Bertha Kerner, called her, and explained the situation. Bertha Kerner drove down and posted bail for him, on the grounds that he would come into the credit union the next day to make arrangements to pay her back. He agreed. And after she posted bail for him and drove him home, the very next day, he went into the credit union and applied for a loan to pay off his debt. Since then, the gentleman has passed on, but his son is still a member of the credit union. "Even though we're all the same, we're all so very different," says Sperling, "We all have that member focus that makes a difference."
Pictured from left to right: Debbie Regi, Lisa Tuliano,
Sperling and her staff carry on the legacy of her parents, who have since passed, by carrying on their dedication to the "people helping people" philosophy. "We're all a nice little family," says Sperling of her staff and members. "We know sometimes more things about the members than we need to know. We like our people." And their people like them. Sperling says their members like speaking with their main teller, Lisa Tuliano, so much that when she's on vacation, they'll wait for her to come back before getting what they need. "Everybody loves Lisa," says Sperling. "Because we're so small, we can have that intimate relationship with people. It's the people connection."
Though the environment is ever-changing with the times on the Fort Dix base, its credit union still provides the same personalized service and care to their members—and is right there whenever they need it. Their primary focus is not on the numbers, but on the people that walk through their doors. Sperling continues the legacy that her parents left behind and remains focused on their mission to serve and stand with the United States military forces.

The Sony Xperia Z3 compact 16GB is endearingly petite compared to modern smartphones, with a screen that measures 4.6in across the diagonal helping to make for a very pocketable handset. Design-wise it's attractive, too, with curved edges clad in translucent plastic, a glossy flat back and "shatterproof glass" up front. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact's sturdy-feeling body is only 8.7mm thick – but despite a screen that's only the tiniest bit smaller than Apple's iPhone 6, the Z3 Compact feels markedly more compact (it's actually 11mm shorter), and it's just as light, weighing 129g.
The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact's design is more than just distinctive – it's also seriously tough. A pair of flaps on the left edge seals the ports, giving the Z3 Compact it's IP68 water- and dust-resistant status, and as with other high-end Xperia devices, you can dunk the Z3 Compact in up to a metre of water for 30 minutes. This is a phone that can easily shrug off rain showers, sweat and accidental tea spillages.
The processor is a quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, as fast as you'll find in any Android phone, which is coupled with 2GB of RAM, an Adreno 330 CPU and 16GB of storage.
Techexchange sell Demo/as new devices at a fraction of the cost of a new phone. These are phones that for one reason or another have been out of their package at some point in time, customer returns, factory seconds or phones used briefly. They are in 'as new' condition with minimal / no marks on them. They come in their original box and contain all their original parts and accessories. We run thorough tests on them before they go out for sale. We sell them cheaper because they aren't brand new, but we assure you they are in perfect condition externally and internally.

When my son Charlie left school in December 2013 to become an apprentice landscaper I gave him my full support. Charlie had worked onsite with me occasionally when I was bricklaying, during school holidays to earn a little cash. He always remarked though, that he didn't want to follow in my footsteps as a bricklayer. "I'm going to be a carpenter or landscaper where I can build with timber and use power tools" he said. Learn About Bricklaying
Only a couple of months into his apprenticeship Charlie and a few other employees were told by their employer that he didn't have sufficient work and would have to let them go.
Unable to find another landscaper willing to recommence the apprenticeship Charlie was looking for other options to pursue. Being the 'caring' father that I am, I told him to get off his backside and do something else until another opportunity presented.
A local bricklayer I had spoken to who had recently taken on a new apprentice was looking for a hand as work was picking up. So I quickly volunteered Charlie as he was experienced in labouring for bricklayers. A couple of months passed and all I was hearing at the dinner table was talk about bricklaying and the ins and outs of daily life on the jobsite. To my amazement it seems like he was enjoying the trade that he'd earlier told me he would never enter!
I was really pleased when his employer, John Hobson called to tell me Charlie had been laying bricks with the other apprentice very productively and that he'd consider signing Charlie up if he was keen. After relating this conversation to my son, a big grin appeared on his face followed by a big Yeah! John Hobson has a terrific reputation for training apprentices; he's young himself and enthusiastic, and his apprentices respond well to his demand for high quality work. He's trained several apprentices and his business is growing due to the standard of his team's work, so this is an excellent place for Charlie to earn his trade certificate qualification.
On a day Charlie had off recently, I took him along to a pre-trade program to see how his skills were developing – see the shot above. What do you think?
If you'd like information: give me a call if you're an employer looking for an apprentice or if you're considering entering the trade and check out this website and the employers website – ABBTF.

OTAKU MAGAZINE call for next issue submission...
End of The World
There are talks and debates, predictions and prophecies that the End is near and it's getting closer. We all heard it... If we wont self-destruct, maybe Mother Earth will get read of us, ungrateful children, or maybe well all move on the Internet, transform into bytes and communicate in ones and zeros?
How and when it will happen... nobody knows. But it is certain that, if there will be some to live afterwards, all of them will be Otaku. May it be a battle between giant robots and the angels of the Apocalypse, a God Warriors holocaust which will transform the planet into a Toxic Wasteland ruled by giant sentient insects, the all-destructive blast of rage driven by frustrated mutant adolescents. Otakus have seen it all and more then once.
Or maybe, the End is inside each and every one of us and it is happening little by little... Is there a chance of salvation, is it worth fighting back, will the End be a new Beginning?
Tell us all about in the next issue End Of The World.
Issue introduction by INKAMON
Call for help just in case its coming near your hometown
The last time I was watching Life After People documentary, featuring the great accomplishments of mankind, that collapsed heavily after the first years of post-human ignorance, stripped of the old care and upkeep. All of a sudden, the house started to shake; the earthquake had begun, along with the Eiffel Tower that was falling just like a rusty gantry; the dogs barked and all the telephone networks and telecommunication technology had crushed in an instant after the smallest tremble.
Otaku magazine wishes to spread survival methods and plans for after the cataclysm. The end of the World started a long time ago, said Edward O. Wilson and others, it has already begun as a great extinction of living species, probably similar to that happened at the end of the last ice age. All the mega-fauna had disappeared and humans started to practice agriculture. The estimations for the number of small and huge extinctions that marked life history on Earth vary from 5 to over 20. The last one, of meteoritic proportions, had crushed the Earth exactly when dinosaurs were the big and mighty creatures of the time.
How can we prepare ourselves? What is to be done to assure the survival of humankind or of our most distant successors? How do we prepare the men of the future and solve some of the problems they may be facing? No one knows what it will be next, how will life on Earth be after todays people will parish. We may not prevent the apocalyptic end, but at least we can postpone it for a while. If we know what the "worst case scenario" is, then we are supposed to have an idea about what is to be done.
What do you choose to do after all?

Day 23: A Favorite Oddball From the 1950s
Taking the lead from Tony at Off-Hiatus Baseball Cards this will be the twenty-third of 30 posts, using the prompts provided. I won't necessarily post one every day, but I will do one for each card, toss in a few "insights" (as insightful as I can be, anyway), and usually include an honorable mention or two, just because I'm like that.
Here's my pick- I don't have very many oddball cards from the 1950s, but even if I did, I would probably still pick this one. Minnie Minoso is one of the most fascinating players from the 50s, and 60's, and 70s, and 80s, and 90s! I first heard about him when he pinch hit in a game for the Saint Paul Saints in 1993 at the age of 67(?). When I started collecting again in 2014, Minoso was one of the first players I actively sought out. The Berk Ross "Hit Parade of Champions" had some big names like Mantle, Jackie, Musial, Yogi, DiMaggio, Ted Williams - but Minoso is the one I have and the one I was excited to find!

The fact is if you ever need to borrow money, get finance on an auto loan, sing up for a credit card or even buy a house, then having a decent credit history is invaluable.
Even if it isn't great at this moment in time there are steps you can take to build a better history and improve your FICO score.
What you need to do first of all is to take stock of your own personal financial situation and ask this question?
Sometimes we can affect our credit history without even thinking about it by applying for all the offers coming through the mailbox. These might include offers on credit cards and other financial products from personal payday loans with bad credit to credit lines.
Each time we apply for these a footprint is left on our credit file, and of course, each time we are rejected then this affects the overall score. It's the same when we're invited to take out a store card – this is big business for the companies involved but can be bad news for the individual consumer.
The fact is you don't need lots of credit cards or credit lines, and they don't help your FICO SCORE especially if you're a new citizen of the United States.
Make sure you check your credit report on a regular basis just to make sure everything is ok. The whole point of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is to guarantee you can see your own credit report free of charge every 12 months. There are three top companies and these are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. These will help you keep track of any changes and you can even see your FICO score going up bit by bit. It's there to help you in the long term.
Well apart from ensuring your bills are paid on time take a look at any credit or store cards you may have. If you have too many then cut these down to just one or two.
Make payments to them on time and keep an eye on your own personal bank account making sure you manage it well. Only apply for a personal loan, credit union loan and any other loan if it's absolutely necessary. Keep your financial commitments in terms of credit down to the minimum.
If you have to take out more credit make sure you can meet the payments and on time. Don't apply for every offer coming through the mailbox and don't be tempted by lots of store cards or credit lines. Do all of this and you'll find keeping a good credit score will become second nature.
This affects many people of course and you'll need to build a history of credit at a steady pace over time. If you are new to the country and on an H1B visa, then you'll need to open a checking account with a top bank like 'The Bank of America', for example. They can issue you with a secure credit card whereby you give them a sum of money upfront which is put onto the card itself. Always pay this on time each month and you'll soon be able to get an increase in the limit. By doing this you are slowly building good credit. Ideally you need to give things two years and be careful not to overburden yourself financially.
Remember don't despair as building or even re-building your credit history is always possible. Start today for a better financial future!

Tim Tebow keeps and runs around end.
There's never been anyone like him!
Tim Tebow scrambles and throws.
Uh, yeah, well. There's not another NFL quarterback like him, all right.
An ugly 45-10 loss to the Detroit Lions at home a week and half ago — and Tebow can't play, won't play, will never be able to play quarterback in the National Football League.
A remarkable 118-yards-rushing- and-two-touchdowns-passing performance in a 38-24 thrashing of the host Oakland Raiders on Sunday — and Tebow just might be the Broncos' answer.
Welcome to Tebow's World, where the people living in it either love him, hate him, or love him one week and dislike him the next. And let's be honest. Love isn't the problem. Anyone can take a compliment. What hurts is criticism sharp enough to cut through the thickest skin.
"It's hard to ignore it when it's everywhere," Tebow said at his weekly news conference Wednesday. "I try not to pay attention to it, but it still adds a little fuel to the fire."
Tebow and the Broncos move on to Kansas City on Sunday for another AFC West matchup against the Chiefs. A week ago, the Broncos were goners at 2-5, two games behind the other three teams in their division. They're now 3-5 and just one game out. The other three — Raiders, Chiefs and San Diego Chargers — all lost at home.
These wild swings in emotions over Tebow can be partly attributed to the position he plays. For years in Philadelphia, Donovan McNabb had his boosters and cynics. And it seems the greater the quarterback's profile, the louder the dissenters roar.
"You think Tony Romo has it any different than Tim?" Broncos coach John Fox said. "I'm just throwing a name out there. It could be anybody. Especially a quarterback. If you don't win, it's tough. If you win, you're the greatest thing going."
Tebow is 3-3 as a Broncos starter, so there has been a little of both. Rarely, though, has a player received such close inspection from the industry in victory and such hefty praise from fans in defeat.
Tebow's unconventional style is the reason for both views.
He has not excelled throwing accurately from the pocket, and this is what the so-called pundits harp on. Among NFL quarterbacks, only Jacksonville rookie Blaine Gabbert has been more inaccurate (completion percentage of 45.7) than Tebow (46.4).
Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and New Orleans' Drew Brees are completing 72.5 percent and 71.0 percent of their passes, respectively.
"You're facing a good pass rush every game," Tebow said of the difference between passing in the NFL and in college, where he was a four-year, 66.4 percent passer. "You're also facing some very good DBs."
But in exchange for his occasional misguided wobblers, Tebow has demonstrated an appealing knack for raising his game at crunch time. Even without attempting a pass in the fourth quarter Sunday, Tebow this season has more completions (24), passing yards (308) and touchdown passes (four) in the fourth quarter than he does in the first three quarters combined (21 completions, 228 yards, two touchdown passes).
In his three victories as a starter over the past two years, he has rallied the Broncos from deficits of 17-0 at halftime against Houston, 15-0 with 3 minutes remaining against Miami and 24-14 late in the third quarter against the Raiders.
"When you win, you're the greatest," Fox said. "When you lose, you're a bum. We're in a 'what have you done for me lately' league."
Only Tebow, it seems, can be viewed as both great and a bum in the same game. Take the Miami game. With 5:23 remaining in regulation, the Broncos were trailing 15-0 and Tebow was 4-of-14 for 40 yards while taking five sacks for a total loss of 27 yards. That's 13 net passing yards in nearly 55 minutes of play.
Tebow brought the Broncos back to a 15-15 tie late in regulation and led Denver to an overtime victory.
Hate those passing mechanics. Love that will to win.
"Thank the Lord I don't have to live with the roller coaster that you all make out of my life," Tebow said.

Franklin Joseph "Frankie" Lymon (September 30, 1942 – February 27, 1968) was an American rock and roll/rhythm and blues singer and songwriter, best known as the boy soprano lead singer of a New York City-based early rock and roll group, The Teenagers. The group was composed of five boys, all in their early to mid teens. The original lineup of the Teenagers, an integrated group, included three African American members, Frankie Lymon, Jimmy Merchant and Sherman Garnes, and two Puerto Rican members, Herman Santiago and Joe Negroni.
The Teenagers' first single, 1956's "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", was also their biggest hit. After Lymon went solo in mid-1957, both his career and those of the Teenagers fell into decline. By age 25, he was found dead in his grandmother's bathroom from a heroin overdose.[1]
Frankie Lymon was born in Harlem, New York City to a truck driver father and a mother who worked as a maid. Lymon's father, Howard Lymon, also sang in a gospel group known as the Harlemaires; Frankie Lymon and his brothers Lewis and Howie sang with the Harlemaire Juniors (a fourth Lymon brother, Timmy, was a singer, though not with the Harlemaire Juniors). The Lymon family struggled to make ends meet, and Lymon began working as a grocery boy at age ten, augmenting his legitimate income with proceeds gained from hustling prostitutes and was known for having relationships with women twice his age.[2]
At the age of 12, Lymon heard a local doo-wop group known as the Coupe De Villes at a school talent show. He befriended their lead singer, Herman Santiago, and he eventually became a member of the group, now calling itself both The Ermines and The Premiers. Dennis Jackson of Columbus, Georgia was one of the main influences of Lymon's life. His personal donation of $500 helped start Frankie's career.
One day in 1955, a neighbor gave The Premiers several love letters that had been written to him by his girlfriend, with the hopes that he could give the boys inspiration to write their own songs. Merchant and Santiago adapted one of the letters into a song called "Why Do Birds Sing So Gay?" With Lymon's input, the song became "Why Do Fools Fall in Love". The Premiers, now calling themselves The Teenagers, got their first shot at fame after impressing Richard Barrett, a singer with The Valentines. Barrett, in turn, got the group an audition with record producer George Goldner. On the day of the group's audition, Santiago was the original lead singer but Santiago was late. Lymon stepped up and told Goldner that he knew the part because he helped write the song. And the disc jockeys always called them "Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers".
Goldner signed the quintet to Gee Records, and "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" became their first single in January 1956. The single peaked at #6 on the Billboard pop singles chart, and topped the Billboard R&B singles chart for five weeks.
Five other R&B top ten singles followed over the next year or so: "I Want You To Be My Girl", "I Promise To Remember", "Who Can Explain?", "Out in the Cold Again" and "The ABC's of Love". "I'm Not A Juvenile Delinquent" and "Baby Baby" were also popular Teenagers releases. "I Want You To Be My Girl" gave the band its second pop hit, reaching #13 on the national Billboard Hot 100 chart. "Goody Goody" (written by Matty Malneck and originally performed by Benny Goodman) was a #20 pop hit, but did not appear on the R&B chart. The Teenagers placed two other singles in the lower half of the pop chart.
With the release of "I Want You To Be My Girl", the group's second single, The Teenagers became Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers. An album, The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon, was issued in December 1956.
In early 1957, Lymon and the Teenagers split apart while on a tour of Europe. During an engagement at the London Palladium, Goldner began pushing Lymon as a solo act, giving him solo spots in the show. Lymon began performing with backing from pre-recorded tapes. The group's last single, "Goody Goody" backed with "Creation of Love," initially retained the "Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers" credit, but they were actually solo recordings (with backing by session singers). Lymon had officially departed from the group by September 1957; an in-progress studio album called Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers at the London Palladium was instead issued as a Lymon solo release.
As a solo artist, Lymon was not nearly as successful as he was with the Teenagers. Beginning with his second solo release, "My Girl", Lymon was moved to Roulette Records. On a July 19, 1957 episode of Alan Freed's live ABC TV show The Big Beat, Lymon began dancing with a white teenage girl while performing. His actions caused a scandal, particularly among Southern TV station owners, and The Big Beat was subsequently canceled.[3]
Lymon's slowly declining sales fell sharply after his voice changed and he lost his signature soprano voice. Adopting a falsetto, Lymon carried on. His highest charting solo hit was a cover of Thurston Harris' "Little Bitty Pretty One", which peaked at number 58 on the Hot 100 pop chart in 1960, and which had actually been recorded in 1957. Addicted to heroin since age 15, Lymon fell further into his habit, and his performing career went into decline. According to Lymon in an interview with Ebony magazine in 1967, he said that at the age of 15 he was first introduced to heroin, by a woman twice his age.[4] In 1961, Roulette, now run by Morris Levy, ended their contract with Lymon and the singer entered a drug rehabilitation program.
After losing Lymon, the Teenagers went through a string of replacement singers, the first of whom was Billy Lobrano. In 1960, Howard Kenny Bobo sang lead on "Tonight's the Night" with the Teenagers; later that year, Johnny Houston sang lead on two songs. The Teenagers, who had been moved by Morris Levy onto End Records, were released from their contract in 1961. The Teenagers briefly reunited with Lymon in 1965, without success.
Over the next four years, Lymon struggled through short-lived deals with 20th Century Fox Records and Columbia Records. Lymon began a relationship with Elizabeth Waters, who became his first wife in January 1964. Lymon's marriage to Waters was not legal in the beginning, because she was still married to her first husband. However, it is alleged that they became married by way of common law marriage. After the marriage failed, he moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1960s, where he began a romantic relationship with Zola Taylor. Taylor claimed to have married Lymon in Mexico in 1965,[5] although their relationship ended several months later purportedly because of Lymon's drug habits. Lymon, however, had been known to say that their marriage was a publicity stunt and Taylor could produce no legal documentation of their marriage.
He appeared at the Apollo as part of a revue, adding an extended tap dance number. Lymon recorded several live performances (such as "Melinda" in 1959), but none rose on the charts. His final television performance was on Hollywood a Go-Go in 1965, where the 22-year-old singer lip-synched to the recording of his 13-year-old self singing "Why Do Fools Fall in Love." The same year, Lymon was drafted into the United States Army, and reported to Fort Gordon, Georgia near Augusta, Georgia for training. While in the Augusta area, Lymon met and fell in love with Emira Eagle, a schoolteacher at Hornsby Elementary in Augusta. The two were wed in June 1967, and Lymon repeatedly went AWOL to secure gigs at small Southern clubs. Dishonorably discharged from the Army, Lymon moved into his wife's home and continued to perform sporadically.
Traveling to New York in 1968, Lymon was signed by manager Sam Bray to his Big Apple label, and the singer returned to recording. Roulette Records expressed interest in releasing Lymon's records in conjunction with Big Apple and scheduled a recording session for February 28. Lymon, staying at his grandmother's house in Harlem where he had grown up, celebrated his good fortune by taking heroin; he had remained clean ever since entering the Army three years prior.
On February 27, 1968, Lymon was found dead of a heroin overdose.[6][7] He was 25 years old. Lymon was buried at Saint Raymond's Cemetery in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, New York City, New York.
"I'm Sorry" and "Seabreeze", the two sides Lymon had recorded for Big Apple before his death, were released later in the year.
Lymon's troubles extended to others after his death. After R&B singer Diana Ross returned "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" to the Top Ten in 1981, a major controversy concerning Lymon's estate ensued. Zola Taylor, Elizabeth Waters, and Emira Eagle each approached Morris Levy, who retained possession of Lymon's copyrights and his royalties, claiming to be Lymon's rightful widow; Lymon had neglected to divorce both Taylor and Waters. The complex issue resulted in lawsuits and counter-lawsuits, and in 1986, the first of several court cases concerning the ownership of Lymon's estate began.
Trying to determine who was indeed the lawful Mrs. Frankie Lymon was complicated by more issues. Waters was already married when she married Lymon; she had separated from her first husband, but their divorce was finalized in 1965, after she had married Lymon.[8] Taylor claimed to have married Lymon in Mexico in 1965, but could produce no acceptable evidence of their union.[5] Lymon's marriage to Eagle, on the other hand, was properly documented as having taken place at the Beulah Grove Baptist Church in Augusta, Georgia in 1967; however, the singer was still apparently twice-married and never divorced when he married Eagle. The first decision was made in Waters' favor; Eagle appealed, and in 1990, the New York State Supreme Court reversed the original decision and awarded Eagle Lymon's estate.[9]
However, the details of the case brought about another issue: whether Morris Levy was deserving of the songwriting co-credit on "Why Do Fools Fall in Love". Although early vinyl single releases of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" credit Frankie Lymon, Herman Santiago, and Jimmy Merchant as co-writers of the song, later releases and cover versions were attributed to Lymon and George Goldner. When Goldner sold his music companies to Morris Levy in 1959, Levy's name began appearing as co-writer of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" in place of Goldner's. Lymon was never paid his songwriters' royalties during his lifetime; one result of Emira Eagle's legal victory was that Lymon's estate would finally begin receiving monetary compensation from his hit song's success. In 1987, Herman Santiago and Jimmy Merchant, both then poor, sued Morris Levy for their songwriters' credits.
In December 1992, the United States federal courts ruled that Santiago and Merchant were co-authors of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love". However, in 1996 the ruling was reversed by the Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit on the basis of the statute of limitations: copyright cases must be brought before a court within three years of the alleged civil violation, and Merchant and Santiago's lawsuit was not filed until 30 years later. Authorship of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" currently remains in the names of Frankie Lymon and Morris Levy.[10]
Although their period of success was brief, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers' string of hits were highly influential on the rock and R&B performers who followed them. Lymon's high-voiced sound is said to be a direct predecessor of the girl group sound, and the list of performers who name him as an influence include Ronnie Spector, The Chantels, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Len Barry, and The Beach Boys among others.[11] [12] The performers most inspired by and derivative of Lymon and the Teenagers' style are The Jackson 5 and their lead singer and future superstar Michael Jackson. Motown founder Berry Gordy based much of the Jackson 5's sound on Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers' recordings, [12] and the Teenagers are believed to be the original model for many of the other Motown groups he cultivated.[13]
Lymon's music and story were re-introduced to modern audiences with Why Do Fools Fall in Love, a 1998 biographical film directed by Gregory Nava, also the director of the Selena biopic. Why Do Fools Fall in Love tells a comedic, fictionalized version of Lymon's story from the points of view of his three wives as they battle in court for the rights to his estate. The film stars Larenz Tate as Frankie Lymon, Halle Berry as Zola Taylor, Vivica A. Fox as Elizabeth Waters, and Lela Rochon as Elmira Eagle. Why Do Fools Fall in Love was not a commercial success: it met with mixed reviews,[14] the film grossed a total of $12,461,773 during its original theatrical run.[15]
Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993,[16] and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2000.[17]

My inspiration
I watched as a man I worked with lost 15 stone in a year. It was amazing he seemed to change every day. The weight stayed off, he got fitter and happier as time went on.
Eventually I asked him how he had done it and he said "Slimming World".
Then he said "'and I have never eaten a salad in my life!".
That simple sentence swung it for me – he inspired me and I joined, this is what I looked like that day:
You can see my eyes nearly closed with the excess fat !

Cerner Corporation, a healthcare IT company with technologies existent within 18,000 facilities worldwide, held its annual Cerner Health Conference (CHC) this week. The Kansas City Business Journal reports more than 14,000 attendees participated in the multi-day conference. The influx of people in Kansas City created an estimated economic impact to the city of 14 million dollars. And in a few cases, it's predicted that Cerner's largest client organizations spent 50,000 dollars or more to send attendees in mass to CHC.
Attendees from all over the world invest time and money into the show. It is an excellent opportunity to network and to be inspired by Cerner. I was one of the many Cerner employees and Cerner clients who sat in on the CEO Neal Patterson's keynote at the Sprint Center, during CHC, pictured here:
Days later, I visited Los Angeles and I was one of the limited number of fans able to see the new Steve Jobs film over the weekend – thanks to its initial small scale release only in Los Angeles. As a Steve Jobs admirer, I found the controversial new look at the Apple co-founder especially enlightening following my CHC experience. The movie is a montage of three reenactments leading up to Steve's most crucial product release presentations.
Pictured here, Steve Jobs talks to the crowd similar to Cerner's keynote size about Apple's newest inventions:
Today, even with the absence of Steve Jobs, Apple Inc. has millions of people watch the company's infamous launch events in person and virtually. Enthusiasts for Apple or Cerner alike allocate resources and energy into these large events that, at its core, are nothing more than a vendor pushing products. Isn't this a marketer's dream? Attentive audiences with zero paid media expense.
Steve Jobs stated, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." The entrepreneur spirit and the unrivaled innovation Cerner and Apple exert is why I believe both generate widespread attentiveness. And as The Little Black Book of Innovation describes, the word Innovation, in of itself, exudes optimism. Innovation helps us live happier, healthier lives. Apple and Cerner are industry leaders that have created a following because the company exudes innovation. People want to be inspired and be a part of the advancement and transformation of the future.
One of the most effective tactics a marketing teams can do is position the company as innovative. Author Scott Anthony says, "There is tremendous innovation energy with every individual and every company." But even if a company realizes its full innovation potential, it has to be evident in the mind of the consumer. And that is one of many jobs of a corporate marketer. Companies need to exude an innovational spirit to have the backing of crowds of people on the edge of the seats, eager to learn what a company has to say.

Anatoliy Shariy's appeal on assassination of Kiev journalist Oles' Buzina
On Apr 14, a profile of Oles' Buzina was added to https://psb4ukr.org/ site (where Ukrainian government encourages people to fink the authorities on the people suspected of separatism); on Apr 15, Oles' Buzina was killed near his home with 4 shots.
