Family members can "split the bill" on subscriptions at the world's largest family network
NEW YORK, USA, LONDON, UK & TEL AVIV, Israel – June 30, 2011 - MyHeritage.com, the world's largest online family network, today announced the launch of "Family Goals", a pioneering group payment system that enables family members to chip in to jointly purchase a subscription. With 57 million registered users, MyHeritage.com is a free service that enables families to stay in touch, share memories and explore their roots, with premium subscriptions for advanced features. This is the first time a large scale online business has offered consumers the opportunity to share the cost of a subscription, and is an initiative that leverages the power and uniqueness of MyHeritage.com's family network.
"Families place enormous value on preserving their heritage and keeping in touch, but they also keep a close eye on their personal finances," said Gilad Japhet, Founder and CEO of MyHeritage.com. "We have created a network used by tens of millions of families around the world in more than 30 languages, and are proud to give them a new and cost effective way to buy an online subscription. Family Goals creates a new industry standard for online subscriptions, while helping achieve our mission of bringing family history to the masses."
MyHeritage.com is the leading online destination for families to explore their family history, share photos, videos and important documents and to stay up-to-date with family news - all in a private and secure online environment. The site is home to over 770 million profiles in 18 million family trees, creating the world's Family Graph, a digital representation of family relationships both past and present.
"MyHeritage.com has quietly been building the largest and most international family social network on the web," said Saul Klein, board member at MyHeritage.com and partner at Index Ventures. "Companies such as Netflix, Spotify and LinkedIn have shown the power of subscriptions on the web, and by adding an innovative social layer to its premium model, MyHeritage.com is doing something unique in the online social world and delivering fantastic value to families."
By starting a Family Goal on MyHeritage.com, the organizer can invite relatives to chip in and raise money to purchase or extend a family site subscription on MyHeritage.com. A subscription benefits the entire family by offering additional storage and premium features for discovering and sharing family history.
There are three simple steps in setting up a Family Goal:
1. Picking a target subscription
2. Optionally chipping in to get the ball rolling
3. Inviting family members to contribute
The site harnesses social dynamics to encourage family members to chip in first, to chip in the most and to chip in the latest, and keeps them updated as the goal progresses towards completion. Invited family members can choose whether to participate and how much to contribute, in almost any worldwide currency and through many supported payment methods. Partially completed goals receive a pro-rata subscription and the family can complete it later for the full duration.
Family Goals, now available publicly, was released in April 2011 in a private beta to a group of users within MyHeritage.com. Early indications show that by enabling a family to share costs, there was a significant rise in the number of subscriptions purchased. Users who participated in the private beta reported that they were pleasantly surprised with the results and felt that Family Goals empowered their family and increased the motivation of the family members to cooperate in preserving and sharing the family history.
MyHeritage.com user Ken T. from South Dakota completed a Family Goal, raising enough funds to upgrade his family's site to a PremiumPlus subscription. "Family Goals are absolutely wonderful", Ken commented. "It took only about four or five family members to reach our goal, and I was thrilled to know that the family is interested and wants to see our family site grow and last for our future children and grandchildren. The site was also very good at keeping the family informed about the progress of our joint goal."
Additional information on Family Goals is available here. (http://blog.myheritage.com/2011/06/introducing-family-goals-now-the-whole-family-can-buy-a-subscription-together)

Welcome to Most Wanted -- New Times' weekly post featuring scofflaws, including suspects in robberies, homicides and assault cases, sex offenders who've absconded, and even "dead beat" parents who aren't shelling out court-ordered child support.
Suspects featured here are presumed innocent -- until a judge or jury says otherwise. Check out some of the Valley's Most Wanted:
Two-Timing Robbery Suspect
On Saturday, August 17, 2013 at approximately 10:05 pm the suspect entered the AM/PM store at 2230 W. Indian School Road in Phoenix and removed items from the shelf and walked out without paying for the items. The suspect fled the area in a white four-door sedan.
Not a big deal?
Well, later, that same night, at about 10:45 p.m., the suspect returned to the store -- this time with a gun in his hand. He walked directly to the counter and demanded money and cigarettes from the clerk.
He got the goods and then shot the clerk in the leg. He again fled in the white four-door sedan. The clerk was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Up Next: Suspected Credit Card/Car Thieves
Sometime between 11:30 p.m. on August 14 and 5 a.m. on August 15, unknown suspects broke into a garage near 3000 W. Esapartero Way in Phoenix and stole a 2009 Volkswagen Passat.
The victim's credit cards were in the vehicle and were immediately used by the two suspects to make purchases at two different locations.
Both suspects were seen leaving the stores in a light-colored, extended cab Chevrolet truck.
The victim's vehicle is still outstanding and listed as a stolen vehicle.
Up Next: Suspect Likes Pink -- And Using Other People's ATM Cards
On August 5, at about 4:30 a.m., two men armed with knives approached a 23-year-old man as he was entering his apartment at 2323 W. Dunlap Avenue. They forced him inside his apartment, robbed him of various electronic items and his bank debit card.
The two men, described as white males, about 5-foot-8 with a medium build, forced him to reveal the PIN number to his ATM card and then left.
About 15 minutes later, the victim's debit card was used at a nearby 7-11 store and a BMO Harris Bank located in the area of 27th Avenue and Beardsley Road.
The store and bank video surveillance system captured images of this same female making both fraudulent transactions.
Up Next: Burger King Robbers Having It Their Way

On August 16, at about 11:05 p.m., four suspects with covered faces entered the Burger King restaurant at 4002 E. Broadway Road in Phoenix.
Three of the suspects were armed with handguns and one suspect was armed with a long rifle.
The suspects ordered the employees to the back of the business and removed money from the safe. The suspects also took the employees cell phones and fled in an unknown direction.

Today, Governor Martin O'Malley (D) signed into law the following four pro-hunting bills:
Senate Bill 231 – sponsored by state Senator George Edwards (R-1), SB 231 would allow bowhunters, who are otherwise authorized to carry a handgun, to carry a handgun for protection while hunting in Deer Management Region A. While afield, bowhunters are vulnerable to outdoor crime and dangerous wildlife, and should be allowed to carry a firearm for protection. SB 231 passed in the state Senate by a 43 to 2 vote. The measure passed in the House by a 120 to 9 vote.
Senate Bill 472 – also sponsored by state Senator Edwards and cosponsored by Senators Christopher Shank (R-2) and Ronald Young (D-3), allows any game bird or game mammal, except migratory game birds and wetland game birds, to be hunted on a Sunday on specified public and private land during the open season for that game bird or game mammal in Allegany, Garrett and Washington Counties. SB 472, as amended, passed in the House of Delegates by a 124 to 10 vote and concurred in the Senate by a 44 to 2 vote.
Senate Bill 473 - also sponsored by Senator Edwards and cosponsored by Senators Shank and Young, allows the hunting of deer on specified property from the first Sunday in October through the second Sunday of January in Frederick County. SB 473, as amended, passed in the House of Delegates by a 119 to 15 vote and concurred in the Senate by a 45 to 1 vote.
Senate Bill 966 - sponsored by state Senators Roy Dyson (D-29) and Thomas Middleton (D-28), establishes a program in Charles and St. Mary's Counties to train rifle shooters to hunt deer for the purpose of controlling the deer population in those counties. SB 966, as amended, passed in the House of Delegates by a 125 to 6 vote and concurred in the Senate by a 45 to 1 vote.
Thank you to Senators Edwards, Shank, Young, Dyson and Middleton for their leadership and support for the hunting rights of Maryland residents; as well as every state legislator who voted for Senate Bills 231, 472, 473 and 966.

The Federal Communications Commission voted yes to improve service through signal boosters and work to free up more airwaves for "Gigabit Wi-Fi" this morning. Gigabit Wi-Fi would lead to faster speeds and be able to handle more devices. This step brings the prospect of future public Wi-Fi one step closer to becoming a reality.
The FCC's order isn't meant to make life easier for wireless carriers, but rather to increase user experience. Signal boosters would increase the distance of service in rural areas and the amount of penetration into thick cement buildings.
Yes, this is meant to help the consumer, but the FCC doesn't want to remove dead spots so users can tweet on the subway or check-in at crowded stadiums. This proposal is meant to help families that no longer use landlines and rely exclusively on wireless carriers to communicate with each other. It is also meant to help first responders in emergency situations. Look back at cell service going down in New York City on September 11 and the fear that came with not being able to contact loved ones. Signal boosters and Gigabit Wi-Fi would help in times of a crisis like Hurricane Sandy or during the Russian meteor crash.
When we're not under a national crisis, the expanded broadband will lead to better speeds and service in places that have traditionally been devoid of cell service or lacking in Wi-Fi. All five commissioners bemoaned their experiences with dropped calls or molasses-like Internet speeds. They know better Wi-Fi will increase productivity for the general population and bring technological opportunities to those without service. Companies like Google and Microsoft support the FCC's proposal and believe that putting tools in the hands of the people – in this case Wi-Fi – will lead to a 21st century renaissance of new innovations.
Sadly, we won't all have access to public Wi-Fi anytime soon. At the earliest, users would see faster speeds in more locations starting in 2015. As more and more people continue to adopt smartphones and tablets, the need for public Wi-Fi and increased service to handle the amount of devices being used will increase.
What does this mean for businesses? Internet and cell phone usage isn't going anywhere, and its growth is so unquestionable that even the government is proactivity working to improve wireless policy. Consumers are becoming more dependent on wireless and mobile devices and businesses large and small should take note. There's still two years before there will be any noticeable change in wireless speeds, which should give marketers enough time to consider mobile marketing campaigns and improve their mobile online presence.

"Show Me Your Routine"
Starring Alisha Adams
Dressed in short leather shorts and a corset, complete with fuck-me boots, Alisha is gearing up for some kinky sexwork. Her brother Gunner comes home early catches her acting out her fantasies in her slutty outfit and gets a chubby in his jeans. He threatens to spill the beans to their parents unless she helps him spill his load!
Alisha has little choice but to be her big bro's fuck slave. She strips down, exposing her fat booty and full, succulent hangers. Gunner sucks hungrily on his sister's nipples, before ordering her on her knees. Alisha obeys and shows off her impressive cock-inhaling skills. Her lovely lips slurp up and down her big bro's thick shaft. She cradles his balls with a silky gloved hand, taking down the entirety of his impressive meat. Before long, she's begging Gunner to fuck her.
More than happy to comply, Gunner lays Alisha down and fills his sister's juicy cunt up with his meaty cock. Once again, Alisha shows off her hooker techniques, sitting Gunner down and bouncing her big white ass up and down on his rock-hard dick; her tits heaving mightily as she bounces. Gunner places his sister on all fours and pounds away at her from behind, admiring her thick rump. He fills his little sis with what feels like gallons of hot goo.

Just a couple days after viewing the Ephriam W, we got another email from David. This time, he found a promising 1976 Pearson 365 on the atlantic side of Florida.
Wow, we've got someone looking out for us and we can tell!
The listing looked great and it looked priced to sell quick... so after a few quick emails back and forth, David arranged for us to meet with Randy, the listing broker, and we made plans to take a trip out to Melbourne at the Waterline City Marina.
Since it was a good 3 hour drive out there, we decided to make a trip out of it and explore Melbourne while we were at it. Asa, being awesome Navigator Asa, did all the research for what to do there, and even thought well enough ahead to have all the tolls ready for us to get there... I had neglected to consider our route would involve tolls.
It was a stormy day, the lightning was flashing above us as we set off at noon for Melbourne.
We arrived about 40 minutes early this time, not wanting to muddy David's reputation by showing up late. It was a sleepy weekend, the skies were gray, raining on and off.
We left a message for Randy that we had arrived early, and while waiting for our appointed time, the dock master let us in and we walked along the slips looking for the 365.
We came across her without much effort, and I'll have to be honest... we were a bit underwhelmed - not by the design of the Pearson... we absolutely loved the layout. I had a good 4 inches of clearance below, the ketch was laid out spectacularly. Buttt... the boat didn't quite match up with the ad.
We did as much of an inspection as we could dockside looking out while waiting for Randy... and made notes about potential warning signs that we could see. The owner had painted over the decks and the transom looked suspect.
When Randy arrived, he invited us aboard and we began crawling. By now, our third time inspecting boats, we felt like pro's. We both set about independently looking all over. We had done as much research as we could on the net, so we both had our own list of things to check out.
Our worries were confirmed as we found defects that would have cost us, in our estimate, the asking price over again to refit her. And given that it's on the other side of Florida, we wouldn't feel safe sailing or motoring her back.
We thanked Randy for his time and proceeded to a pub he had suggested to grab a bite to eat (we've only snacked since then), check into our hotel, dip our toes in the atlantic ocean, explore melbourne, and go over our notes.
True to form, David called us soon after we arrived at the pub to see how things went. "Unfortunately, it's a no," I told David. I would detail out what we found in an email later the next day.
The search continues... but neat little bit - while exploring Melbourne, we met an awesome kindred spirit by the name of Madison at the ChilLatte while picking up snacks and a coffee for the drive back to St Pete's. We stayed to chat as she barista'd up our coffee - a local roast. I hope we stay in touch, and maybe our paths will cross again on the Pacific Coast!

A co-op is a form of home ownership that is different than owning real property such as a condo or a house. In a coop each unit is allocated shares. The purchaser buys the shares in the housing corporation. Co-ops are corporations with a board of directors and shareholders. Coops are unique to NYC in the fact that approximately 75% of our properties for sale are co-ops.
When a co-op rejects a purchaser many people are affected. Not only the buyer. The brokers do not get paid. The sellers who have a deposit on a new home might have to forfeit their deposit. And the sellers of the new home that the first seller is buying will lose their buyer.
This post has been updated to reflect the current emphasis on anti-discrimination requirements
Here are some tips to help pass a coop board interview:
- Being called for an interview is a good sign it means you look good on paper.
- Be on time, dress appropriate for the building and neighborhood. Conservative is best.
- Bring a copy of the board package with you. Be familiar with all your financials and everything in the board package.
- Coop boards are stricter than banks, don't assume because you have a commitment from a bank you will satisfy the coops financial requirements. Be able to substantiate questions about your package.
More is less do not elaborate and ask questions, an innocent question might offend a board member.
It is better to have a short interview than a long one.
Do not go into details about elaborate and costly renovations.
If the apartment has outdoor space do not discuss barbequing, it is illegal and smells.
Do not ask questions or bring up sublet policy or pet policy uless the board brings it up.
It is not a job interview, you don't have to try and sell yourself.
Let the board ask the questions, set the tone and conduct the interview.
Boards like candidates willing to volunteer to serve on the board or building committees.
Boards look for candidates that will "fit in" and follow rules.
Don't ask or expect a decision on the spot they will notify you within a few days.
- Be prepared for a lack of privacy and to answer personal questions unless they are Fair Housing /NYC Human Rights violations.
- The NYC Human Rights Law prohibits housing discrimination in New York City based on a person's real or perceived race, color, national origin, gender, creed, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, partnership status, alienage or citizenship status, age, lawful occupation or because children may be or will be residing with you.
This year there has been a push in the brokerage community for a strict interpretation of Fair Housing Laws. Brokers can no longer ask clients if they are married or how many kids they have and what they do for a living. Questions that were routinely asked by brokers and coop boards are no longer acceptable.
Under current NYC law co-ops do not have to give a reason why they reject a buyer. There is a bill currently pending in the city council that will require coops to give a reason in writing why they rejected a buyer.
According to The NY Timesopponents of the bill REBNY (Real Estate Board of New York) and the NY council of cooperatives and condominiums together have developed a two-page sheet on anti-discrimination requirements that they recommend be included in every application that goes before a co-op board. They also have put together a sheet on "buyer's rights" that they recommend be given to every co-op applicant. I have yet to see such a sheet in any coop application.
It is illegal for a coop to discriminate. The most recent NYC protected class is lawful occupation. Coops are prohibited by law from asking an applicants occupation. They can ask where you work and your salary. They will require pay stubs and tax returns but should not ask your occupation or any questions concerning your occupation, age, familial status or any questions about the above mentioned protected classes. Any questions along those lines opens them to discrimination law suits. Coop boards and their directors can be sued for discrimination by any of the above 14 protected classes.
It remains to be seen if coops will adhere to these strict anti-discrimination guidelines. IMHO as long as coops are not accountable and operate in secrecy discrimination will continue in spite of NYC Fair Housing Laws.

A jack-o-lantern is first made by Pumpkin only. The Halloween tradition includes pumpkin, and without the Jack-o-lantern the Halloween festival is not complete. The Jack-o-lantern is a turnip lantern or a carved pumpkin, connected with the Halloween holiday. It is named after an occurrence of flickering light over peat bogs that are called as will-o-the-wisp.
The top of the pumpkin is cut off, and it is used as a lid, and the inside part of the pumpkin is removed, and an image such as a funny face or monstrous is carved out of the skin to exhibit the hollow interior. To get a lantern effect, you should put an oil lamp. For artificial jack-o-lantern, you can use electric lights. People usually place these pumpkin lanterns on doorsteps and also they put as a decoration before the Halloween holiday.
Check out our collection of Wedding Halloween Pumpkin below.
The Halloween celebration in the United States didn`t happen until the immigrants from Scotland and Ireland arrived in the mid-1800s. In North America, you find a lot of pumpkin fields, but, the history does not say anything about why the first pumpkin or turnip was carved and lit. In 1866, the Harper`s Yong People, a children`s magazine reported that the pumpkins made a great sacrifice for that year`s Halloween festival. The art of carving the pumpkin grew even more popular in later years of Halloween celebrations. By the year 1920, the Halloween had spread the entire America, and now it is one of the favorite festivals that kids and adults equally enjoy a lot. The Halloween costumes and parties became the part of the celebrations, and from mid-1930, the Halloween celebrations included trick-or-treating.
Currently, the pumpkin carving industry is a multimillion dollar industry, and the farmers in the United States started to inspect particular types of pumpkins they produce, and they are producing a new line of squash that is good for carving. You can also make different types of foods with pumpkin such as pumpkin cake, bread, etc.

Graphic Novel Review: Lady Mechanika: La Dama de la Muerte #1 by Joe Benítez & M.M. ChenWednesday, September 20, 2017
Lady Mechanika: La Dama de la Muerte #1 by Joe Benítez & M.M. Chen
(Started & Finished: August 06, 2017)
After suffering a tragic loss, Lady Mechanika takes a trip to a small Mexican village just in time for their Día de los Muertos celebration. But the festivities turn truly deadly after the arrival of the Jinetes del Infierno, the mythical Hell Riders. A very special Day of the Dead Lady Mechanika three-part story! (From Goodreads)
Publication Date: September 28, 2016
Publisher: Benitez Productions
Source: Diamond Book Distributors via Netgalley
Shelf: Goodreads
Buy it from: Book Depository
My late night reading streak commenced and I chose to continue with this comic. The cover art captured my eye. It was dark but really beautifully done. The content did not disappoint. Every page I turned was stunning. The art on its own stood out. The colors were vibrant and I have a thing for the La Muerte makeup.
Story-wise, I thought it would be the horror or thriller type of plot with ghosts or a killer and all but to my surprise, it actually portrayed the evil in the society. How greed can lead to gruesome acts and how corruption can really put an end to one's life. We can all relate to it and I can't shake the feeling that it's rampant in our society. With the conflict already presented, it is expected that a hero will come along. Usually one with a bright and positive personality. But in this graphic novel, the protagonist, Lady Mechanika was also enveloped by darkness which made it interesting and at the same time perfectly imperfect.
You can see that Lady Mechanika is a strong-willed and independent woman. But like any other human being, she is flawed, she has weaknesses, and she has her own dark secrets. But what I liked about her is that behind all these, she still has something good in her that will eventually make her a hero. I have to commend her boldness on how she was willing to fight big guys by outsmarting them with her wit and swift moves. There's a hint of feminism here and I like it. I find it inspiring when female characters stand up to men or those who oppress others.
Overall, I love the moral of the story especially on how you can redeem yourself by always choosing to do good. If you're asking if children can read this, no. It's not appropriate as the comic might contain too graphic visuals and violence. But I'm sure adults, men or women, can enjoy this.
Happy reading everyone and don't forget to share the books you've recently read!

3D Print Club Gears Up with More Funding
Related Story
COLUMBIA - Students at the University of Missouri have purchased a new and innovative tool to help advance into the future of three-dimensional, or 3D, printing.
For all Star Trek fans who are familiar with the replicator used on the show to manufacture items instantly, the 3D Print Club at Mizzou now has funding to tinker with a variety of 3D objects printed right in the lab.
"One of the first things I noticed when I started this club is when we were telling people about it, and a girl described this technology as magic, which was foreign to us because we knew exactly how it worked, but it kinda put things into perspective," said 3D Print Club president Derek Provance.
Provance was new to this technology a couple years ago, too. He helped start the club at MU last year.
"A 3D printer works a lot like your two dimensional printers, your ink jet printers or your laser jet printers you have at home, except instead of printing or laying down ink and paper, they are putting material on layers and then they build each layer one on top of the other," said manager Mike Klote with the MU's prototype development facility.
Students learn to make a variety of objects, like a wrench or even a human aorta. The 3D Print Club started when Provance and another student learned to build their own printer. Now, with the money the club has raised, members can make purchases instead of printers to help the club expand.
"We recently purchased a Solidoodle 2 using club funds," said Provance. "It's the first professional printer that we own as a club now."
The club grew by word of mouth to about 250 members - and not just engineering students.
"It has exploded now and we have art students, business students that are really interested in it," said Klote.
The club hopes funding will explode too.
"So we are hoping to do print shops where we can set up kiosks on campus and have it to where people can scan themselves and then print their scan and sell it to them to use as fund-raising," said Provance.
"They have a lot of diversity in their club so that's a good thing and they are really going to expand and get a lot of new ideas and innovative thinking that was so I think they are on the right track," said Klote.
Members are hoping to create a functioning part of a human hand to give to someone in the community who requested the club's help.

Very helpful ideas on reading labels and being aware of serving sizes. I wrote up Sobe Green Tea for its sugar content, too.
Many of us overlook nutrition labels on the back of products we consume because we either don't want to take the time, don't care what we are putting into our bodies, or don't understand how to read them! Here are some helpful tips to reading labels that might surprise you!
- Most of us overlook liquid calories, so you might not notice that Arizona Green Tea (yes, the cans that are usually 99 cents) has THREE serving sizes within ONE can. And to top it off, it also contains 12 teaspoons of sugar in just one can!
- Snyder's of Hanover Mini Pretzels contains 3 servings per bag as well! If you finish one bag, you have also finished about 1/3 of your carbohydrates you need in an entire day. Stick to the serving size: 20 pretzels!
- You wouldn't eat 4 apples in one sitting– but that's the caloric equivalent of what's…

A monkey with absurd features scampers very suddenly through the outer gate. Ignoring the startled cry of the guard posted there, he grabs hold of an awning pole and swings himself up onto it.
Lanisen comes to an abrupt halt, freezing in place and trying to sort out what is happening. His hand goes slowly to the small of his back, then drops away again, and he stares up at the monkey on the awning in complete confusion.
Lulunan, safely up off the ground, tilts his head ninety degrees to one side and scratches his head as he surveys the ward.
Lanisen shakes his head slightly in response to a woman next to him who has asked, "But what /is/ it?"

The major liability issues regarding stroke revolve around the use of tPA (tissue plasminogen activator…clot busting drug). Not administering the drug for a qualified patient may likely constitute a departure from good and accepted practice.
There are published criteria for the use of tPA ( American Heart Association ). tPA can be initiated within 3 hours of onset of stroke; poor documentation in the chart of time of onset makes the physician particularly vulnerable. Failure to consult family members as to time of onset can lead to mistakenly withholding tPA. It has become more common to find cases where tPA was withheld than cases where it was given inappropriately (against the AHA guidelines). The major risk factor is bleeding into the brain. As of 2009, tPA may now be used up to 4.5 hours after onset of stroke.
The efficacy of tPA as initially reported was 30-38%, thus depriving a patient the opportunity of a better outcome. A retrospective statistical review posits that the rate of improvement is actually 60%, i.e. more likely than not to have a better outcome.
The lack of administration of heparin/coumadin is more problematic. Coumadin is standard of care for cardiac sourced emboli to the brain (atrial firbrillation, ventricular aneurysm with clot). It is not currently proven to be of value for other types of stroke, TIA or stroke in evolution. However, liability may ensue from withholding coumadin (such as for dental surgery) and never re-instituting it, resulting in stroke.
TIA's have received a great deal of attention in the most recent medical literature. TIA may be considered a medical emergency as the risk of stroke in the immediate following days is high. TIA's are treated with aspirin, plavix or aggrenox (except cardiac sources = heparin/coumadin). Appropriate work-up may discover a severe carotid stenosis, which may be treated by surgery. Note that platelet inhibitors such as aspirin are statistically effective at about 30%, and there is little difference among them.
A relatively new issue is the risk of HIT…heparin induced thrombocytopenia. Failure to recognize this entity can result in thromboses of cerebral veins and arteries and stroke.
Although rare, PRES (posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome) if untreated, can result in stroke. PRES is seen in pre-eclamptic/eclamptic women and requires aggressive blood pressure management. Stroke usually results in blindness due to the posterior brain location of this under recognized obstetrical problem.

Swimming with the horses
My trainer trailered my horses over to a nearby lake so that the kids and I could have a day swimming with the ponies.

Labels: horse adventures
Yesterday morning, V. and I went out on a very short trail ride -- V. rode Panama, and I rode Rondo. It was my first time out on Rondo, although he'd gone half as far with my trainer a couple weeks ago; and it was V.'s first time out there on Panama, if you don't count the other day when she just went a very short distance with one of the trail riders.

Labels: trail riding
It's been so long since I've blogged, I don't even know where to start catching up. Rondo is being ridden more, V. (the 11-year-old I nanny for) is riding Panama twice a week (more as we can manage it until the end of summer), we took him to a show, and I finally went for a trail ride on Panama again -- he'd been struggling with his weight, so I wasn't riding him much until I felt reasonably sure we'd fixed the problem. Also, Rondo finally moved up into the front corral, where Panama has lived for the past three and a half years -- I've wanted him up there since the beginning, but they finally decided to put a fourth horse in there, and Rondo got to be the one! It's so nice having them together, and right up front, where they are both close to the tack room and where I like to park.

Dreamweaver Compatible in Cloud Web Hosting
When you wish to use Dreamweaver to build your site, you won't have any trouble to upload it on our servers due to the fact that all of our cloud web hosting are Dreamweaver-compatible. What's more, you will not even need to employ the Hepsia hosting Control Panel or an additional FTP software to upload your website because you'll be able to publish it directly from Dreamweaver simply by entering your account FTP details after you hit the Publish button. The program will do all the rest and your website will go online straight away. By using different FTP accounts you will be able to publish many different websites in the same hosting account. Keeping them up-to-date isn't more complicated than that this - just make the changes on your pc or laptop, then publish the websites again. The edited files will replace the existing ones on your server and your changes will go live at once.
Dreamweaver Compatible in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we offer support websites made with Dreamweaver, so if you have this website design application already installed on your desktop or notebook and you are used to working with it, you will be able to use it in order to build your site. When you input the FTP sign in info for your account on our end in the program settings, you'll be able to publish your site directly on our servers, eliminating the need to use third-party FTP software or even our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Updating your site is done in the very same way - make the changes on your end, save them, then publish them. By using several FTP accounts with access to separate domain folders you may even employ Dreamweaver in order to maintain a few different sites simultaneously.

Some think love is for the young
And Fool's illusion Time,
But I think love is for the old,
For you I'll sing my rhyme!
Hot young love is passion's tool,
Gluts itself, and asks for more,
Often discontent, feels Fortune's Fool,
Walks out and slams the door!
Old love grows along with Time,
Builds its own illusion
Satisfies itself, in satisfying,
Finds Love's own conclusion.
Yes, I'll I sing of you, Old Love,
And Happy Years we've known,
Reaping harvests of the Lasting Love
That we have sown!

Bureau of Planning and Sustainability
PORTLAND,Ore. – Portland's Central City is the region's business, cultural, retail, recreational and education hub – a true civic center for jobs, high-density housing, transit and other services. The Central City 2035 planning project is intended to help preserve the city's existing assets while creating a livable, sustainable city center.
The CC2035 Concept Plan is the first step to update the 1988 Central City Plan, establishing a 25-year blueprint that strengthens the city center as the regional hub for residents, workers, shoppers and visitors.
The Planning and Sustainability Commission recommended draft of the Central City 2035 Concept Plan will be presented to City Council at a public hearing on October 24.
The result of two years of stakeholder involvement and public outreach, the Concept Plan outlines policies and directions that provide high-level guidance for the city center's growth and development. It emphasizes the important role the city center plays for the region and is intended to guide development of four detailed quadrant plans within the Central City (N/NE, SE, NW and SW). The quadrant plans will focus on issues unique to their individual geographic areas and recommend district-specific policies to address those issues.
The CC2035 Concept Plan is available on the project website at www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/cc2035 or contact project staff via email at email@example.com.
The Council agenda is available after 4 p.m. each Friday for the following week's Council meetings. There will be opportunity for public testimony and comment. Information about the City Council and how to speak to the Council can be found online.
The City of Portland is committed to providing equal access to information and hearings. If you need special accommodation, please call 503-823-7700, the City's TTY at 503-823-6868, or the Oregon Relay Service at 1-800-735-2900.

Both the PMC and the PMRDA are working out a comprehensive economic development plan for the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR) and the city. For starters, PMRDA will set up a separate wing to attract foreign direct investment. PMRDA chief executive officer Mahesh Zagade recently unfolded his plans saying, "The PMRDA will have a separate wing to attract FDI which will facilitate economic activities in the PMR. We want to develop Pune region as a major international investment destination. This region should be on top of the foreign investors' list."
Zagade also said that PMRDA will make efforts to improve the quality of life in the region and try to up the livability index, and ensure Pune is among top five regions in India. Zagade said the development plan for Pune region will be ready within one-and-a-half years. He said that the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in Pune region must be maintained at 18-20%. The CAGR isn't the actual return but an imaginary number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it grew at a steady rate.
A cash-strapped PMC is also all for PPP model.
"Today Pune's spending on capital investment is about $80- $100 per capita per year. In other cities in the world, it is about $300- $400 per person per year. To match that spending, we will need PPP. Cities like Shanghai that have come up well are dependent on leveraging finances from the private sector and from the market. We have to create that capability within the city to rope in best private partnership and we can take money from market," said PMC commissioner Kunal Kumar.
He said to be able to put $300 per capita per year and to sustain it for the 20 years would require an investment of $ 8 million over a period of 20 years. "This is the kind of investment Pune will require. Multiple surveys show that traffic and transport are the number one problem in Pune," he said.
In a recent communication, the Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu has said municipalities in India are the weakest in the world in terms of access to resources, financial autonomy and revenue-raising capability. Quoting from a Mckinsey report, Naidu pointed out that the per capita annual revenue of all municipalities is Rs 1,430 when the expenditure commitment is Rs 6,030. Naidu added this was a huge gap. "Where will it (the money) come from to build smart cities and ensure basic infrastructure in other 500 cities? There are no shortcuts to bridge this gap. PPP may not have done that well so far, but this model shall be made to succeed. There is a need for good governance and institutional framework for the success of PPP model of resource mobilisation," he said in his note.
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley too had stated in his budget speech that the PPP mode of infrastructure development has to be revisited and revitalized. Following the announcement, a committee under Vijay Kelkar's chairmanship has been constituted. The committee will review of the experience of PPP Policy, including the variations in contents of contracts and difficulties experienced with particular variations/conditions etc.
However former state chief minister Prithviraj Chavan is critical of the PPP move. He said the state and the Centre are destabilizing the decentralized model of governance. "Local governing bodies will not survive without financial help from the state and the Centre. The government is disturbing the local governance structure in the name of Smart City Mission," said Chavan.
PPP in India
By March 2015, a total of 46 Pubic-Private-Partnership (PPP) Projects are at various stages of implementation in 33 cities in the country at a total approved cost of Rs.25,902.84 crore for infrastructure development in urban areas.
These PPP Projects in 33 states relate to Mass Rapid Transport Systems(19), Solid Waste Management (25), Water supply, Parking lots, Roads, Fly overs and Road Over Bridges.
24 PPP Projects with an investment of Rs.1,659.32 cr have so far been completed. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of US $ 6,405 million (Rs.34,255 cr) has been enabled in 16 urban projects since 2011-12. These projects pertained to Townships, Housing, Built-up infrastructure and Construction.
What is PPP?
Public Private Partnership means an arrangement between a government / statutory entity / government owned entity on one side and a private sector entity on the other, for the provision of public assets and/or public services, through investments being made and/or management being undertaken by the private sector entity, for a specified period of time, where there is well defined allocation of risk between the private sector and the public entity and the private entity who is chosen on the basis of open competitive bidding, receives performance linked payments that conform (or are benchmarked) to specified and pre-determined performance standards, measurable by the public entity or its representative.
What PPP models Pune can look for?
Public-private partnerships (PPPs) can take a wide range of forms varying in the degree of purpose, involvement of the private entity, legal structure and risk sharing. A PPP is generally memorialized in a contract or agreement to outline the responsibilities of each party and clearly allocate risk. The broad contractual forms, as covered by extant policy include:
DBFOT/BOT: The most common form of PPP used where the private sector operator designs, builds, finances, owns and constructs the facility and operates it commercially for the concession period, after which the facility is transferred to the authority. In this case legal ownership of the asset vests with the public sector the concession period ends. The most common form of a BoT project is a Toll Road project.
Operations & Maintenance (Service contract): the Government bids out the right to deliver a specific service or gives part of the undertaking to the private sector for operations and maintenance of the assets. Such contracts are normally of a shorter duration than concession contracts.
Lease, Develop, Operate and Maintain (a variation of BoT): Assets are leased out to the private sector under specific terms, to operate and maintain the asset for the term of the concession period.

Greetings and felicitations, valued readers of The Christian Diarist. Thank you for visiting this blog more than 60,000 times in 2012. That was, to borrow from the Apostle Paul's post to the church in Ephesus, exceedingly, abundantly above all that we asked or thought.
In truth, it really did not matter to us how many actually read our writings, whether 60,000 or 6,000 or 600 or even 6.
For this blog is not about self-aggrandizement, which is why the author of the posts that have appeared on this blog has remained anonymous, save for his initials. And it is not about generating "hits" for purposes of attracting online advertising (and the lucre that comes with).
The Christian Diarist is the creation of a veteran journalist, whose day job is writing conservative commentary for one of the nation's larger metropolitan daily newspapers. This blog is a labor of love, for which there is no compensation except the confirmation of the Holy Spirit that the time and effort committed here is serving the kingdom cause of the Most High.
And what is the nature of that service? (We imagine inquiring minds want to know).
It's simple: To be the voice of one crying out in this fallen world of ours "make straight the way of the Lord."
To warn the non-believer, the unsaved, the wicked, that a day of reckoning awaits them. And, if on that day they are weighed in the balances and found wanting, their souls will be condemned to eternal separation from God.
But, then, there also is Good News to be shared:
That the Lord, our God, is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. And that, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
My friends, this traditional, conservative Christian worldview does not often find its way into the mainstream media.
Not even on putative religious web sites and blogs maintained by MSM news organizations, like The Washington Post's "On Faith" site and CNN's "Belief Blog," both of which reflexively promote the most "progressive" – which usually means non-Biblical – perspective on practically every religious issue.
The Christian Diarist is a conservative "new media" alternative to the faux Christianity promulgated by the WaPo, CNN and other liberal, oh-so-politically-correct gatekeepers of the MSM.
In 2013, we are going to ramp our crusade, by God, to put the Christ back in Christianity in this country. Toward that end, we have decided that, going forward, we not only will feature posts by JP, but also contributions of other established writers who share this blog's traditional Christian values.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

New video for Sean Therian's classic line "Width of a Circle" V7. A nice line with a unique exposed feel. We had a fun session on this nice line with sends all around with different beta used by each climber.
The sit down start has been suggested as a project but felt likely impossible unless new beta is discovered.

text: Growing up, sisters Morgan Breakey and Mariah Cope had parents who were passionate about finding treasures, trinkets and "the perfect piece." And their daughters soon caught the bug: By their early 20s, the two women, based in Raleigh, NC, were attending estate sales as resellers themselves. After realizing they could turn their hobby into a business, they looked for a way to do this that would allow them to be active in the lives of their five children — ages from infant to 9 years. They found that solution in Blue Moon, a franchise company that specializes in the liquidation of people's assets. Today, the two moms bring their kids to the sales, where the little ones help prepare for the sale and host lemonade stands for the customers.

One of the joys of being a blogger is to attend all those events and meet your blogger colleagues. One such event was 'Metamorph by Avirate' where we got to interact with Mrs. Sandhya Oza, an Image consultant who heads DresSmart.
The session was all about 'Identifying our body types and dressing it accordingly'. We had access to visual illustrations with different body types and what flatters that particular body type the most. At the end of the session we were asked to style ourselves in Avirate's Latest collection, which had all the party essentials for the season. I picked this Cobalt Blue skater dress which fitted me at the waist and accessorized it with a long metallic necklace.

"I am a Senior Shareholder and Trial attorney at Stark & Stark. For thirty years, I have used Guy J. Renzi & Associates as my court reporter. That is a long time and a lot of depositions.
Renzi reporters are professional, highly qualified, prompt and friendly. They deliver when needed no matter what the circumstance. I have no hesitancy in endorsing their services to any attorney who needs a change or is starting out and looking for a court reporting service to depend upon.
Hi Mark:
"I am a big supporter of Renzi and Associates. Your staff and court reporters and videographers are always professional, courteous and reliable. You have never failed to accommodate any type of "emergency" request when we needed something for trial or a hastily scheduled deposition.
The addition of the repository services has been welcome and necessary, since our clients demand digital copies."
"I would like to thank you for your services and am passing the word that I have been very pleased. The video conference deposition last week went very smoothly, and your staff was great and most helpful.
The home made chocolate chip cookies weren't bad either!"
Best of luck in the future,
"I have always found it to be a pleasure to work with you and your company. You are customer service driven and your final product is excellent!
At a time when lawyers have many choices for court reporters, we at Stark and Stark, choose Renzi and Associates because we know that we will receive a quality product at a fair price."
Thank You,
"I have been engaged in trial practice in Mercer County for the better part of thirty years. During that time I have used Guy J. Renzi and Associates for certified shorthand reporting services; video tape de bene esse depositions of medical experts and video conference depositions of out of state witnesses.
I have also used their beautiful office as a convenient location to conduct depositions. Guy J. Renzi and Associates, consistently provide the highest standard of shorthand and related services.
Their court reporters are always prompt, professional and accurate and I can recommend Guy J. Renzi without hesitation."
"I have used Guy J. Renzi & Associates for over 25 years. The reporters are true professionals and a pleasure to deal with; while the support staff delivers unparalleled client service. They are truly a pleasure to work with."
