Linear Technology Power Supply Voltage and Current Monitors - Linear Technology LTC2903CS6-D1#TRMPBF, The Linear Technology LTC2903-1 monitors up to four supply voltages. The common reset output remains low until all four inputs have been in compliance for 200ms. Voltage thresholds maintain 1.5% accuracy over temperature (with respect to the monitored voltage). The LTC2903-1 features an open-drain RST output with a weak internal pullup. Internal supply voltage (VCC) is generated from the greater voltage on the V1, V2 inputs. VCC = V1 for LTC2903-D1 and LTC2903-E1. The RST output is guaranteed to sink at least 5A (VOL = 0.15V) for VCC down to 0.5V and will typically conduct current down to 0V. Quiescent current is 20A typical, making the LTC2903-1 ideal for power conscious systems. The LTC2903-1 is available in a 6-lead low profile (1mm) SOT-23 package.

Publisher's URL: http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/html/0335221912.html Abstract/DescriptionIn this chapter I argue that formatted reality television game shows like Big Brother (Channel 4 2000 - ) and popular TV documentary formats like Wife Swap (Channel Four 2002 -) and Faking It (Channel Four 1999 -) might be best understood as simulations. In these programmes we see the dominant observational traditions of documentary being redeployed as part of a different system of representation based on simulation. By simulation I refer to that process in which dynamic models are observed in order to generate understanding of complex processes. This definition is derived from, amongst others, the research methods of natural science, social science, military planning and financial forecasting all of which depend increasingly on building models to understand complex systems.

Pedro Aguilar, 47, was in his car on the street in front of an apartment complex when two men in their late teens to early 20's approached him to carjack him, police said.
They weren't able to get the car into drive because it was a manual transmission, not an automatic, and shot the man in anger, police said.

Rational Expectations and the Puzzling No-E¤ect of the Minimum Wage
This paper argues that expectations are an important element that need to be in- cluded into the analysis of the e¤ects of the minimum wage on employment. We show in a standard matching model that the observed employment e¤ect is higher the lower is the likelihood associated with the minimum wage variation. On the other side, there is a signi…cant anticipation e¤ect, ignored in the literature. This property is able to explain the controversial results found in the empirical studies. When the policy is anticipated, the e¤ect at the time of the actual variation is small and potentially hard to identify. The model is tested on Spanish data, taking advantage of the unexpected change in the minimum wage following the election of Zapatero in 2004.

May 23rd, 2012
I'm past 80, and for last couple years have had what feels like small pimples in groin. Mostly it doesn't bother me, but sometimes itches quite a bit. I've looked on internet for something similar, but so far haven't found anything.
I'm not sexually active, and have had only 2 partners in my life (both husbands). Am too embarresed to ask my Dr. A few yeara ago I had psoriasis on my leg (for several years) but after using Elidel, it finally cleared up. Could this be from that?

Welcome to ehealthforum,
It is difficult to comment on the cause for the groin pimples/bumps that you describe without examining them. If they have been symptomatic or persistent, you should consider getting them examined by your doctor/gynecologist. The exact cause can only be made out after careful and thorough evaluation. Treatment as appropriate (based on examination findings and investigations results) would be started to help you control the symptoms. Consider being in regular monitoring and follow-up with your treating doctor/gynecologist and report any new/abnormal symptoms immediately.
Take care.

I had to stop using any kind of cake soap. I only use a white liquid from Sam's. It's their name. The clear stuff has alcohol and dries out my skin. I definitely would show this to the DR....you might be allergic to something. I don't use any powder in that area.

Recently attended a crazy night of wine and food at the home of a local wine enthusiast. The main event of the night was to taste through a large lineup of Beaujolais wines.
I've recently had some great experiences with current release Cru Boos, but this tasting was off-the-hook with multiple vintages, producers, and villages represented. We were fortunate to have Beaujolais bottles in the lineup from as far back as 1983, all the way up to the current 2009 vintage.
I'd like to say I took notes or could remember my thoughts on all of these wines, but that's just not reality. There were 34 bottles of wine spread out across the room...I tasted and spit, and tasted and spit, and swallowed some. As I discussed with several of the cool dudes in attendance, including ThirstySouth and EatItAtlanta, I was impressed how the majority of the 30+ wines were really well-made and interesting wines that spoke of a place. What's more, many of the wines cost less than $25! Cru Beaujolais really does deliver some bang-for-the-buck.
As for favorites from the lineup and from what I remember: The 1983 Devillaine Saint Amour was still rather alive with dusty cherry fruit and a bit of a tannic bite. Gets bonus points for being totally quaffable at 27 years of age.
Also very strong were a trio of Cru Boos from Masion Louis Jadot's Chateau des Jacques bottlings.
The two Moulin-A-Vent from 2003 showed the ripeness of the hot 2003 vintage (Eat It Atlanta dropped the knowledge here), and the 2005 was drinking on point right now. As for my favorite, that distinction goes to the 2007 Thevenet Morgon Viellies Vignes. Like a powerful young Burgundy, it was full of stemmy goodness and crunchy red fruit. A real treat, but it should be noted that it was perhaps the most expensive Cru Boo in our pack.
I won't drive you cray with all the notes on wines we drank after the Cru Boo tasting...that's right...the tasting was just a warm up. However, it looked a little something like this:
A great night with some great wines and food, and some real fine company.

If you are looking to read a great book on style (and one of my favourites) "I Love your Style" by Amanda Brooks is a must read for all the fashionistas out there or for those that are trying to cultivate their own style, to those making an effort to getting dressed in the morning; and to the ladies interested in having a functional and treasurable wardrobe!
Not only does she happens to have fabulous style but she has the ability to communicate and break down fashion and style in a very relatable way. I love the way she defines and describes different styles from classic to bohemian to minimalist and more and details accessories that go with it, muses that inspire each style and key pieces to go with it. What I love the most about this books is that she encourages you to experiment with fashion..and mostly have fun!
What are you favourite fashion & style books?

OXNARD, Calif. -- Cowboys defensive line coach Rod Marinelli said he has no doubt about whether the Tampa 2 defense will work with this team.
"None. Zero. None. Zero. None. Done it too long," he said. "I believe in it. I guess, there are two things: One, when you believe in the system and believe in myself as a teacher, we've had great success with it; we know it works.
"It really fits really talented players too – from Julius Peppers to Henry Melton. Henry Melton came out as a running back out of Texas, he made the Pro Bowl as an under tackle last year. It's all those things. It's having the talent, but this system forces that talent level to rise with effort, getting to the ball. I have great confidence in it. I always have."
There are some concerns about whether the new defense can handle read-option offenses. The Cowboys will face Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins' read-option offense twice a year. First-year coach Chip Kelly will use the spread-option with the Eagles, likely with Michael Vick at quarterback. When Kelly coached at Oregon, his offenses beat up Dallas defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin's defenses when he was the D-coordinator at USC.
The Cowboys play the Redskins and Eagles in consecutive weeks twice during the 2013 regular season. Taking on speedy quarterbacks such as Vick and Griffin is a challenge. Vick said over the summer that he's still one of the fastest players in the NFL, and of course Griffin is one of the more talented players in the NFL.
"We play spread offenses every week in the NFL," Marinelli said. "When I played Oakland in the Super Bowl (with Tampa Bay) they were a spread offense; it just works, you just have to execute. The thing about this league, you also have to stop a tremendous passing game. They may run the read-option three or four times in a game -- you change your defense just for that. I mean, these guys can throw the football. They can throw the football; your system has to adjust to them."
A 4-3 defense has one less linebacker, so that might not be suited to handle the quarterbacks rushing off the edge. But Marinelli doesn't think about whether it's a 3-4 or a 4-3 defense. The type of personnel you have is the key to slowing spread and read option offenses.
"I think it's based on rules," he said. "Defenses are based on rules. You have rules and certain guys got the dive (player) and certain guys got the quarterback and certain guys got the pitch, so it's built in. You may go three weeks without seeing it, you know, so you constantly have to stay on it. It's like the Wildcat. You had to go back and have rules for all those things for it."

Click the image to load the highest resolution version.Description
1831 Original Half Cent, C-1, B-1, PR60 Brown
Controversial Issue, Ex: Norweb
1831 1/2 C PR60 Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.6. No die states are
recorded in Walter Breen's Half Cent Encyclopedia or in
Ronald Manley's The Half Cent Die State Book.The present piece from the Norweb Collection was graded AU55, prooflike, in that catalog. Walter Breen listed the coin as first in his Condition Census of business strikes, the only AU example known. The surfaces show a few light lines that appear to be the result of harmless camel-hair brushing in conjunction with a coin preservative. This piece is boldly detailed with satiny medium brown and emerald surfaces, along with iridescent overtones. A darker area at 10 o'clock on the obverse extends to the edge. In 1987, Bowers and Merena described this piece in the Norweb catalog as: "AU-55, prooflike. Earlier considered by some observers, including Mrs. Norweb, to be a Proof, and inventoried as such in the Norweb Collection. This is the piece listed by Walter Breen in his Condition Census as the finest known business strike original 1831 half cent."
Today, many believe that all 1831 half cents were struck as proofs. Mint records indicate a production of 2,200 half cents in 1831, suggesting that some may have been coined as business strikes. Historically, the 1831 half cents have been called a proof-only issue. In 1971 Roger S. Cohen, Jr., wrote: "For many years coin catalogues had the erroneous notation 'Proof only' for this date, and some continue to perpetuate this error. Walter Breen was the first person to my knowledge to point out that both business strikes and proofs were struck from these dies."
The jury is still out regarding the true status of these coins. Manley, Rick Coleman, and Frank Wilkinson each submitted articles to Penny-Wise in the late 1990s, debating the status of business strike versus proof 1831 half cents. Ebenezer Gilbert, Manley, and Coleman consider all 1831 half cents to be proof-only issues. Meanwhile, Breen, Cohen, and Wilkinson all support the existence of business strikes. Interested collectors should review those articles. In 1998 Manley wrote: "I am unconvinced that any 1831 Originals were intentionally struck as business strikes. Although this variety has historically been considered a proof-only issue, its current status as such is controversial." Our EAC grade PR60.

Up to 26 European Union countries will finalize a pact to enforce budget discipline more strictly in the euro zone by March, a top official said on Tuesday, as the bloc tries to move quickly to rebuild confidence but without Britain's backing.
Continue Reading Below
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy expressed disappointment that Britain had shunned an agreement reached at an EU summit last week to pursue fiscal integration as part of efforts to tackle the debt crisis, but made clear the door would remain open for London.
"They recognize the euro is a common good," Van Rompuy said in a speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, commenting on those in the agreement. "Then, early March at the latest, this fiscal compact treaty will be signed."
The 'fiscal compact' is meant to allow closer scrutiny of countries' spending to stop a similar debt crisis recurring and potentially making it more palatable for the European Central Bank to step up its purchases of distressed euro zone debt to hold down borrowing costs.
The euro fell to an 11-month low around 1.3060 at 1600 GMT on Tuesday after German Chancellor Angela Merkel was quoted as telling a closed-door meeting of her conservative lawmakers she rejected any suggestion of raising the ceiling on Europe's future bailout fund, according to participants.
"Any hope of more money that is stifled triggers such a strong market reaction at the moment," a Frankfurt stock exchange trader said.

Merkel was responding to Van Rompuy's comment in parliament that a review of whether the 500 billion euro limit on the planned European Stability Mechanism was adequate would be completed in March.
Britain refused to agree to changes to the EU's fundamental law, the Lisbon treaty, to push tougher budget rules in the euro zone after it was unable to win a veto to protect its financial services industry against laws from Brussels.
British Prime Minister David Cameron's demand drew criticism from European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, who said any such concessions would have damaged the EU's single market, which guarantees free movement of people, capital, goods and services.
"The United Kingdom, in exchange for giving its agreement, asked for a specific protocol on financial services which, as presented, was a risk to the integrity of the internal market," Barroso told parliament. "This made compromise impossible."
Worried about being dictated to by a euro zone moving towards centralized control of national budgets, Cameron rejected treaty changes to try to maintain its influence, but now appears isolated.
"To use a British expression, when you are invited to the table, you are either a guest or you're on the menu," said Guy Verhofstadt, the leader of the alliance of liberals in the European parliament, to loud applause.
Van Rompuy took a more conciliatory tone and sought to calm British fears of being sidelined in the future framework.
"This will not be the start of discrimination," he said. "At some stage, we will be 27 around the table and will be able to hammer out something which we were unable to agree on just a few days ago."
Many politicians and analysts believe Britain's decision will reduce its influence in shaping financial regulation, because the 26 other states that sign up to a new fiscal regime will meet more regularly and set the agenda.
"While formally Britain will still have on vote on financial regulation, its voice in the discussions deciding the direction of regulation will be weaker than the others," said Sony Kapoor, managing director of Re-Define, an economic think tank.
Still, in a sign of the emotions the question raises in Britain, Nigel Farage, a eurosceptic member of the European Parliament and leader of the UK Independence Party, said it was time for London to cut its ties with the EU altogether.
"Britain is going to make the great escape," he said. "You've decided to head off on the Titanic towards economic and democratic disaster and we are now in a life boat."
Several non-euro zone countries, including Sweden, Hungary and the Czech Republic, still need parliamentary approval before they can give their full backing to the move towards a fiscal compact.
Diplomats say this is largely a formality, but euro zone assets have lost ground since the summit, reflecting investor disappointment that leaders failed to agree more immediate steps for tackling the crisis.
The euro zone rescue fund sold 1.97 billion euros of three-month bills on Tuesday in an auction that met solid demand as investors sought safety in top-rated, short-dated paper.
However, analysts said the threat of a ratings downgrade of euro zone countries meant any attempt by the fund to raise long-term funds could prove much more difficult.

The auction rooms are again abuzz with activity, with the industry monitor the Essential Information Group reporting a 12 per cent year-on-year increase in the number of lots coming under the hammer. Normally busy auction rooms are a sign of ill times in the property market – desperate sellers and bargain-hungry cash buyers meeting. This time around, though, the story is more complex.
"There is an element of north-south divide about the auction rooms," says Philip Selway, a managing partner at The Buying solution, the property buying advisory arm of estate agent Knight Frank.
"In the south and London in particular along with the usual distressed stock there are quite a few lots which are coming to auction as a way to get multiple buyers in one room and drive up the price. In the rest of the UK, though, there are more distressed sellers who are looking to sell quickly before foreclosure or they could be local authority or housing association sellers."
Nevertheless, traditionally, auction is seen as a way to pick up a bargain, even in London and the south-east, either to be renovated into a home for you to live in, rented out in what is a buoyant rental market or sold on at, hopefully, a profit. Whatever the big idea, the numbers have to crunch correctly.
"The maths is pretty straightforward," says James Greenwood, the managing director of stacks property search. "If you are planning to rent out, first work out what you are likely to have to pay for the property and get quotes for the amount of work that needs doing. A friendly builder should help here.
"With this figure calculate what rental a property like yours can achieve in its local market, allowing for a month or two a year left vacant, divide the spend by the rental and you have a prospective yield. Generally, a yield of 5 per cent or above works for most. Below this and it becomes a very marginal investment," he adds.
"If you're buying to sell on, the maths are simpler still. Just calculate the cost of the renovations, subtract this from what similar properties are fetching locally, add all the likely loan interest, transaction and other costs, as well as a decent profit and this should leave you with a budget to spend in the auction room," Mr Greenwood says.
Most buyers in the auction room are either professional investors with a substantial number of properties or renovations under their belt or the new breed of property-buying adviser. For a fee, buying advisers will look at planning applications in the local area, any neighbour disputes and work out your yield in advance and take advice in terms of what work needs doing: "Never go into an auction blind. I don't understand people who buy property at auction unseen. You are opening yourself up to massive risks," Mr Selway says.
It's pretty simple to do your own due diligence on a property but it does mean upfront costs. "The most important single thing is to get a survey done. Don't scrimp on this. The cost of the survey is between a quarter and 1 per cent of the value of the property and that is a valuable insurance against the potential costs of the property if it proves to be a lemon," Mr Greenwood says.
It's crucial to know what you're buying for a very good reason. Once the hammer goes down on a bid the buyer has entered a legally binding contract to buy, no matter what condition the property is in. a 10 per cent deposit is payable immediately and the balance has to be paid with 28 days.
Playing with such high stakes, following auction room etiquette is important."Stay in control. Have a top price you will pay and don't exceed it," says Mr Selway.
"Make all bids clear to the auctioneer and if you are with someone, a spouse or agent for instance, make sure that only one of you gives the signal. You don't want to be bidding against each other by accident."
As the auction hots up Mr Greenwood recommends taking control: "Auctioneers are there to achieve the best price, so they will move up in as high increments as possible. If you are not happy moving up to the next five or ten grand point then tell the auctioneer a different price, one that should slow things down a little.
"Remember, there are always other lots and another day. Losing the money on a survey or preparation work is nowhere near as damaging as significantly overpaying for a property or exceeding your budget to such an extent that you will find it difficult to raise the finance to do the work necessary to bring it up to scratch to either sell on or rent out."
Financing an auction property purchase has become a real challenge since the chill wind of the financial crisis blew through the mortgage market. However, there are finance options for those who can't cash buy.
"Those buying to develop or buy to let often look at bridging finance initially as it tends to be easier to get," says Andrew Montlake, a director of mortgage brokerage Coreco. "Standard mortgage lenders don't nowadays tend to lend on properties at auction. They are often not in the right condition and it's difficult to truly assess value."
Bridging loans are usually short-term, around six months is typical, but cost about three times as much as a standard mortgage in interest.
"As a ballpark figure you are looking at 1 per cent interest a month and charges of between 1 and 2 per cent of the amount borrowed," adds Mr Montlake. "What borrowers look to do is develop the property either for sale or letting and then after six months apply for a standard mortgage on a buy-to-let basis or simply sell the home on."
The bridging loan industry, though, has developed a questionable reputation and Mr Montlake says taking an independent broker's advice is key. Bridging is not the only option. If you have spare equity in your home and are looking to strike out in buy-to-let or buy a second home at auction there may be the option to remortgage, but be aware that lending criteria are strict, charges apply and your main home will be at risk if you can't keep up repayments.
However you choose to finance your purchase, the message is not to let the buzz of the auction rooms carry you away. "These are exciting places where you find the true value of property but they are not for the underprepared or the faint hearted," says Gary Murphy from auctioneers Allsops.

Over the past five years, few issues in the NHS have been as contentious as that of how much the staff are paid. Just three weeks ago, it was revealed that GPs had received a pay rise of 10 per cent within 12 months, bringing the average salary of a family doctor up to a whopping £110,000. Yet in September, the Royal College of Nursing accepted the Government's 2 per cent pay rise for nurses in England with "great reluctance" and "a heavy heart", according to general secretary Peter Carter. It was the second year running that a salary deal below the rate of inflation had been offered, in line with Gordon Brown's commitment to similarly gradual pay increases across the public sector.
But the seemingly immovable cloud hanging over nursing salaries has a silver lining. Things are not as bad as they were five years ago. In 2004, the Government launched Agenda for Change, the most radical shake-up of the NHS pay system since the service was conceived in 1948.
Affecting more than a million staff – excluding doctors, dentists and senior managers – the agreement has created a much fairer system of payment that rewards nurses for the type of jobs they do, and the specialist knowledge they need to do them. Under the old system, many employees with a host of specialist skills found themselves unrewarded and underpaid.
"We're seeing more people coming back into nursing because the salaries are a bit better, the working hours are more flexible and the career progression is clearer," says Nick Goodwin, a fellow at the King's Fund, the London-based charitable health foundation. "There are also more chances of having your job upgraded, if you take on more skills besides the usual tasks you're asked to do. It's definitely a lot better than it was."
A nurses' starting salary is now £19,700, or £22,000 if you live in or around London. This might be slightly less than most university graduates earn when they begin their first job, but as nursing salaries in the NHS now rise incrementally, you're guaranteed a pay rise after a year. Those who are keen to start racing up the career ladder also don't have to sit in the same job for a minimum length of time: if you can prove you've learnt new skills, your salary will be reviewed. You could eventually be earning up to £40,000 as a consultant or advanced specialist.
Career progression within the NHS is also a lot less hazy than it used to be, thanks to the new "Knowledge and Skills Framework". This was a key part of the Agenda for Change, in which the NHS committed to train and develop its staff while they in turn pledged to the learn skills their employer needed.
While previously nurses could be stuck in the same job for years without any prospect of progression, they are now positively encouraged to broaden their knowledge: this in turn unlocks the door to higher wages.
"There are many opportunities for people to build their career in a way that suits them and direct it the way they want it to go," says Foluke Ajayi, head of careers and workforce supply at NHS Employers, which represents health trusts. "It's not about inflicting responsibility on people; it's about rewarding them for doing the work they'd like to do."
Flexible working hours are another perk of the job. Although the standard requirement for a full-time NHS nurse is 37.5 hours a week, these rules can be bent depending on an individual's situation. There may be core hours when you have to be at work, but allowances are made for those who have commitments as carers, or those who prefer to start late and finish late, or start early and finish early.
Like most public sector jobs, nursing has above-average pension provision. When the Agenda for Change was brought in, the NHS introduced a "final salary" pension scheme: this favours those who are approaching retirement and wish to reduce their hours and working commitments, without damaging their pension plan. The employee's highest salary is effectively frozen.
"An NHS pension is one of the better ones, along with teachers and academics," says Nick Goodwin, "and given the nature of the work, I think it'll remain so."

Frankie Muniz is engaged to marry his longtime girlfriend.
The Malcolm in the Middle actor proposed to his partner, Elycia Turnbow, and announced their happy news on his Twitter.com page after she said yes.
He tweeted, "After 4 years together, I'm so happy to be ENGAGED to the love of my life @ElyciaMarie!!!"
On her Twitter page, a delighted Elycia Turnbow confirmed their engagement, adding, "Frankie Muniz I love you!!! It's official... I'm engaged!!!"
The engagement news comes eight months after police were called to the couple's Arizona home following reports of an altercation between the pair.
The matter was quickly dismissed by Frankie Muniz's publicists. His spokesperson, Lauren Tobin, told People.com, "As far as they are concerned, their issues are resolved... Neither one is interested in finger-pointing at the other. It was a situation that escalated beyond a point that it needed to be. If anything, they will look back at this as a learning opportunity."
No charges were filed over the incident.

DIY juggling balls made from balloons and rice are on the agenda today! They also double us as great homemade stress balls, so make a good gift for Dad. This idea came from my neighbour's (who blogs over at The Good Life Bloggers) 9yrs old son – the balloon juggling balls have been around a while.. but I love the idea of turning it into a superhero! What a clever and imaginative boy he is indeed. With lots of red, blue and white balloons left over from the Jubilee, we got cracking. Don't you think that our Superheroes are perfect for 4th July too? Would make for a fun activity on 4th July party – first make some with the kids and then challenge the kids to learn to juggle…
Materials: 2-3 balloons (3 if you are making these with young children), approx 60g rice, pen, small plastic bag
UPDATE: I love the suggestion in the comments to fill these with sand as an alternative filling for stress balls!
1) Snip the end of one the balloon – the one you intend on having in the centre. We filled the white one first and kept the dark blue one for the head. In retrospect, as we drew faces on with marker pens, I would reverse the colours – our faces don't show up very well on the dark blue.
2) Fill you balloon with rice. This was a bit fiddly and messy.. I held the balloon open, whilst Red Ted scooped in the rice with a spoon. As it got fuller, I squished the rice down as he filled. Tricky. I had a look online if there was a clever way of doing it.. and low and below there is: see Tip Junkie's top tip of filling your rice in a small sandwich bag first! Ha. Clever. It works… but if you don't have any sandwich bags… then stuffing it with a spoon and fingers works too.
3) Cut the top off your second balloon and stretch over the rice filled balloon – making sure you cover the hole to keep the rice in. Try not to create any are bubbles.
4) Using the "snipped off bit" – cut a piece off – approx 2cm or an inch. Then stretch it over your ball to make a mask. Using nail scissors or a needle, carefuly poke some eyes in mask. Take care not to damage the juggling ball. The majority were easy enough to do. But for some reason on the blue ball with the white mask, the white kept splitting and splitting and splitting… mmmh.
5) Draw on your face with a ball.
Red Ted's favourite!
Pip Squeak's favourite!
Isn't my neighbour's son simply too clever? Go him!
Now juggle or play. My kids decided that they were not interested in juggling, but throwing. Fine. Which did mean that half the masks ended up coming off. But the faces are still there and intact and look good. So all is well!

"You can judge a man by his shoes". This is a common quote we all hear and to some degree is true as those who have shabby shoes on their feet are known to be undisciplined when compared to those who wear classy shoes that portray their personality to be disciplined. A person wearing classy shoes doesn't always mean they need to be expensive but should be presentable and not something dusty or torn. A good pair of shoes, when worn, should also complement the outfit one wears. A casual pair of shoes with a formal attire and vice-versa also indicates that the person doesn't have the basic sense of style.
While you choose your footwear, you often get confused with the various colours and styles available. It depends on you to make a choice about the kind of shoes you intend to purchase which would match to the attire you want to wear. While you make a decision on the footwear, here are a few tips that could help you own the right shoes and have them for long.
• Know the worth of a shoe

"I personalized this card for my soon to be sister in law's bridal shower and I could not be happier. The paper is high quality and textured. The ink is bright and printed exactly as it is shown in the pictures. The other party hosts were thrilled when they saw the invitations I chose, both thought they were "happy and cute". I would definitely buy again, the only downside was having to pay 70 cents per card for postage as they are a "small and odd" shape according to the post office."
"The colors were accurately presented in this card. Beautiful, cheerful and very good quality! Review service was quick and helpful in personalizing my invitation. The delivery was on time as well."
"I loved the design from the start but was quite impressed at the weight of the card stock when the cards arrived (having not paid extra for the heavier stock), additionally, I LOVE the texture, which was a pleasant surprise. Customer service was excellent (real human contact to clarify my instructions -- REFRESHING)! These cards are for a very special niece. I know they will set the tone for what will be a very special party; a gift from me to her. I was delighted with the modifications made to the "recipe" cards ordered in the same design. I wish I had known about the option for the rectangular envelopes (to save postage as well as fit the recipe cards w/o folding)."
"We were so pleased with how quickly this shipped and how wonderful they turned out. With any navy/darker design, there is always worry about printing. The color was as rich as can be and we couldn't be more pleased. We also wanted to add where the bride was registered, and the designer made our longer text look like it was part of the design. This invite was used for a February shower, which seemed like a perfect fit. We loved the floral designs from Wedding Paper Divas, and much of them screamed summer/spring. With a May wedding, we wanted a warm weather vibe, but also something appropriate for a winter shower."
"These cards are beautiful. The colours are vibrant and just as described. The cards almost look handmade because the flowers have a water color look. I am very satisfied with my order and would recommend these pretty dainty cards."

Drenched in Blog: Hall of Fame Nominations a Big Cleveland Steamer
Late Friday, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced their nominees for its class of 2008: Madonna, John Mellencamp, Beastie Boys, Donna Summer, Leonard Cohen and Afrika Bambaataa are the heavyweights. Mind you, these are just nominees. Oh, I forgot to mention that Chic somehow rates a nomination, and they threw the Gap Band in there too. My dad always says that kicked ass at the Rodeo here one year.
The Hall of Fame is now officially a joke. I even did a Wack piece on the whole sordid dealings a few months back. This year they left off Sonic Youth, Bad Brains and the Violent Femmes. It's safe to say those three bands are responsible for an untold amount of today's punk and indie rock. True, Madonna did take the idea of a pop star to another level, becoming something of a female David Bowie; I just don't see her among the likes of Willie Dixon and Lead Belly. But "The Cougar" was at the heart of it, just the poor-man's Bruce Springsteen. Yeah, I said it. Bring it on, you chain-smoking farmer. You don't belong!
Beastie Boys, I agree with. When they debuted as an "Egg Raid On Mojo" hardcore band, it was highly improbable they would become the elder statesmen they did. Even today, we find them changing their old misogynistic lyrics around to appease their spiritual leanings.
But Donna Summer? Come on, guys. Leonard Cohen? You won't put him in there because you can't sell commercials for that. Nice try, though. He's the patron saint of the morose sad bastard.
Let's not forget frickin' Bobby McFerrin, either. You forgot about him this year. I know I can't. No, seriously. He mugged me one night off of Richmond. – Craig Hlavaty

what recourse
Be aware when your crowns are hurting and it is affecting your gums.
Get this. The original dentist still wants a balance that I owe him for doing substandard work and putting inferior crowns on my teeth and me having to go to someone else to find out what the problem was.
$3400 dollars of work done because of the original dentist's mistake and he wants his balance! I told him if I have to pay him, he'll get a $1.00 a month and I'm going to pay him just like he worked on my teeth.
I did send him a $1.00, he turned me over to collections, so I got legal advice. I was asked, "Why would you pay a dentist the rest of the money you owe him, yet had to go to another dentist to find out what your problem was and had to pay another dentist to fix the situation and all the pain and suffering you went through and are still in remission from the hyper occlusion?" After that remark, I didn't send him anything.
The legal advisor stated to me, you should be asking for your money back to put towards the new crowns and the work that has to be completed by the new dentist.
Yes I should but where are you going to find that kind of help? The Better Business Bureau told me to write my State Dental Board. The State Dental Board told me to write my County Dental Society. The Stark County Dental Society told me that there isn't anything they can do because I already notified the Ohio State Dental Board who has no recouse with money situations between patients and dentist.
? hmmmmmmmmm does that leave Small Claims Court? Yes, but guess what?
I was told I cannot hire my own expert to testify that I have to have an attorney.
Do we have a State Dental Board that cares about patients or a dental society that cares about patients? I don't think so..........They care about the dentist not having been found guilty for anything after the facts are right there in black and white and color also.
I was going to write the Ohio Attorney General, but guess what; their website states to write The State Dental Board.
It is all a joke that is all it is. I have had the most educational experience in my life regarding a fluke in our Dental Board System.
It is outrageously funny that someone can do this to a patient and get away with it.
It isn't too funny when you are in pain and don't know what the hell is wrong and a dentist keeps telling you there isn't anything wrong and keeps trying to find excuses making it look like it is the patient's fault.
I had them actually argue with me and tell me that there wasn't anything wrong and that I had injured it. How could I injure it? They told me I was grinding. The next thing they told me was my nerve was dying that's all.
I kept telling him it was too high, bulky and my crown was moving.
It got so bad I ended up with two root canals. Which he told me in December I didn't need a root canal. I had to call them to get a referal he did not refer me on his own.
They also told me it was the way I was brushing my teeth. I told the original dentist, if it is the way I am brushing my teeth, why doesn't my other gums bother me, the only gums that bother me are the ones you put the crowns on?
The Prosthodontist is a specialist and stated he would be able to tell if I was a grinder, he told me I was not a grinder. So there goes that theory of the original dentist.
It is called Hyper occlusion from too high of crowns is what he problem was. It has almost been a year and I am still in remission due to the damage it caused to my gums and tissue underneath.
When the endodontist took the crown off to do my root canal, it was bleeding underneath my crown. He stated, "I cannot believe you were able to leave this crown on for this long."
I said, I know, I was in pain. The original dentist told me the only reason I wanted a new crown put on was because of the way it looked. I told the original dentist, no it is because it is causing me pain not because of the way it looks. I said I could care a less about the way it looks, it is the pain it is causing. He denies any wrong doing and should have just called me a liar for stating I was in pain.
I'm glad I found this site and found out what a Prosthodontist was. They have a general dentist also where I am going now and he has done some work on the crown.
Waiting for gums and tissue to heal but will have the new crown seated again if it doesn't hurt this time. Teeth are mobile as I can feel them move. They are trying to go back into place where they once were.
I have been told that teeth will move back with time but it does take time.
It has been one hell of an experience and I hope I never have to experience it again in my life. Maybe next time I won't be so stupid when something hurts and wait so long to get it taken off, believing someone you thought you could trust, only to be called a liar.

Re: (OT) Real World Skills Versus CS Skillsby jonadab (Parson) |
on Jan 24, 2006 at 14:17 UTC ( #525180=note: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Joel Spolsky talks about this stuff in his graduates from Java-only schools. Wow, one-langauge CS departments? I find it appalling that such a program can be accredited. I only _minored_ in CS, and I had courses in some eight different languages. Granted, my Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis course was not as difficult as Spolsky describes, but I certainly was exposed to pointers and recursion in my various other courses. OTOH, purely functional programming per se was rather missing, but then, this was only a minor program, and one supposes that a major program would include it. "In adjectives, with the addition of inflectional endings, a changeable long vowel (Qamets or Tsere) in an open, propretonic syllable will reduce to Vocal Shewa. This type of change occurs when the open, pretonic syllable of the masculine singular adjective becomes propretonic with the addition of inflectional endings." — Pratico & Van Pelt, BBHG, p68

Stop by your local Travel Management Office (TMO) or Personal Property Office (PPO) to get started. A PPO representative will cover all factors of the program in detail, and provide you with all forms and instructions you need. In terms of making money, the most helpful piece of information they will provide you is an estimate of the reimbursement you will receive for your move. To calculate this, you will need to give them an estimate of your property weight. Try to be as accurate as possible since over-estimating may result in a lower incentive. You may also be entitled to an advance operating allowance to help with your operating costs. Once you receive a reimbursement estimate, record this amount. We will show you how to receive quotes from professional movers and choose the company that best fits your move. If you have absolutely no idea how much all of your household goods weigh, you can schedule an appointment with a professional mover who will provide you a free estimate (see next step).
While you can choose to move your property with a privately owned vehicle, rent a truck, or hire your own professional mover, it is recommended to shop around and decide which option best suits your needs. Some are willing to take on the risk and responsibility of packing, loading, and hauling their belongings themselves. This strategy can be very profitable but also comes with risk of injury or damaged property. If considering this strategy, proceed with care and ask for help - any damaged or broken items cannot be claimed for replacement.
On the other hand, many people prefer to have peace of mind when moving their possessions to a new post. Arranging your own professional move can provide more time to run any necessary errands, tie loose ends, and bid farewell to friends in your current area. In addition, professional movers offer insurance for items moved. Best of all, you can still make money after arriving at your new quarters well-rested. Ultimately, you will need to decide which option is best for your situation.

Ronald Seager: Red Barn Farm Oil Painting
(173 views)Ronald Seager (1930-2005) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
Description: Rockport Massachusetts artist Ronald Seager (1930-2005) was an active participant in the Cape Ann art scene. In addition to many fine marine paintings, he also produced several lovely oil-on-panel plein air countryside views. This one is signed on the back and features a barnyard with red buildings. See my other Seager paintings for other paintings made at this location which I call "The Red Farm". The location is most likely in Vermont, a favorite inland painting location for Cape Ann artists. The oil painting is in original, good condition. The prepared hardboard measures 12"x16" and the new gold frame is approx. 15"x19".
Condition Report: Lack of a condition statement does not imply that a lot is perfect. Please examine photos, read descriptions, and contact the Gallery with any questions prior to bidding. Color fidelity of photos presented is not guaranteed.

text: The Philadelphia Flyers went outside the box in replacing Craig Berube. On Monday morning, it was announced that GM Ron Hextall hired University of North Dakota head coach Dave Hakstol as the team's newest head coach. From the Flyers : "Dave brings a wealth of head coaching experience and success to the Philadelphia Flyers organization," said Hextall. "He's a proven winner and we are pleased to have him become part of the Flyers family." "I am extremely excited to be named the Philadelphia Flyers new head coach," said Hakstol. "Through the process here with Ron [Hextall] and everybody in the Flyers organization I have gained even more of an understanding of the history and tradition of this organization and I'm very proud to become part of the Philadelphia Flyers today." Hakstol was 289-143-43 in 11 seasons at North Dakota, reaching the Frozen Four seven times. ( Not quite a "no-name," Philly Inquirer .) According to the Grand Forks Herald, he groomed 20 players who reached the NHL, including Jonathan Toews, T.J. Oshie and Brock Nelson. He also coached Hextall's son, Brett, from 2008-2011. Following "Badger" Bob Johnson and Ned Harkness, Hakstol is the third head coach to jump to the NHL from the NCAA without any prior experience in the league, according to College Hockey, Inc . Hakstol played in the IHL from 1992-1996 then moved into coaching where was an assistant and later a head coach in the IHL and USHL. He moved on to North Dakota as an associate coach before taking the head job from Dean Blais in 2004. With Mike Babcock saying he wants to make a decision on his future by Wednesday, it was interesting to read that the Flyers weren't among the teams to ask for permission to speak with the Detroit Red Wings head coach as of Monday. Hextall didn't fly to Prague to attend the World Championships last week as other coaching candidates like Todd McLellan and Dan Bylsma were over there meeting with GMs. Now we know why he remained stateside. Price certainly wouldn't have been an obstacle for Flyers owner Ed Snider, and we'll likely get an answer to the Babcock question later Monday when Hextall and Hakstol meet the media. – – – – – – – Sean Leahy is the associate editor for Puck Daddy on Yahoo Sports.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March 22 The Western Canadian province of Saskatchewan is cutting its tax on uranium mining in hopes of spurring construction of more mines and boosting its revenues, a top government official said on Friday.
The provincial government is proposing the first changes in 12 years to its system of charging royalties to uranium miners, calling the old formula a barrier to investment. Low uranium prices in the two years since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan have led to delays in some mine projects, but miners see a brighter outlook as new reactors are built.
The adjustments would save the two uranium miners in the province, Cameco Corp and Areva SA, only a combined C$15 million ($14.7 million) in Saskatchewan's fiscal year 2013-14.
But those savings are set to grow as the formula will reflect the miners' actual costs in future years, and remove some of their risk from unforeseen events, said Kent Campbell, deputy minister of Saskatchewan's Ministry of the Economy.
"The biggest thing is it helps to de-risk projects," Campbell said in an interview.
"It was very clear that (miners) felt the economics of future greenfield projects would not work if the system was not changed."
Mining for uranium in Saskatchewan's northern Athabasca basin comes with high costs, including scarce labor and potential flooding, Campbell said.
Rio Tinto PLC and a host of junior mining companies own deposits in the basin, along with Cameco and Areva.
Saskatchewan's proposed changes are contained in its 2013/14 budget, which was unveiled this week. The new royalty regulations may take two to three months to become official, but will be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2013, Campbell said.
Since 2001, Saskatchewan has charged miners a base royalty rate on the value of production, as well as a tiered royalty rate on profits. Those profits, however, were calculated on a fixed estimate of each mine's costs, and companies complained that their actual costs were as much as 50 percent higher because of unforeseen and inflationary expenses.
The base royalty rate will stay in place, along with a condensed system of tiered tax rates on profit. But the profit tax will now factor in the miners' actual costs.
Such changes in one of the richest uranium regions in the world would reduce the effective total royalty to between 7 and 8 percent of revenue from the current 10 to 12 percent, and add to earnings, said analyst Edward Sterck of BMO Capital Markets, in a note to clients.
Cameco and Areva are expected to pay roughly C$70 million to C$80 million combined in uranium royalties to Saskatchewan in 2013/14.
Saskatchewan expects its uranium royalties to generate C$5 billion over the next 14 years as sales climb, compared with C$900 million during the past 14. Canada recently negotiated access for uranium shipments to China and India, where much of the nuclear power industry's expansion is taking place.
Areva is a minority partner with Cameco in the Cigar Lake mine, which is due to start production this year and also hopes to restart its mill at McClean Lake.
"We're making major investments in Saskatchewan," said Areva spokesman Jarret Adams. "Obviously, this is giving us confidence."
Cameco, which is exploring a possible mine called Millennium, also said it welcomed the change.
On the other side of the ledger, Saskatchewan is trimming the size of its resource credit, which also applies to coal, energy and potash producers, from 1 percent to 0.75 percent. That change will earn Saskatchewan an extra C$22 million for 2013/14, spread across the mining and energy industry.

When "the cave woman" was found by farmers near Paphos in April she appeared to be deaf and dumb, and would communicate with doctors at a psychiatric clinic only by written notes. She had no identity documents.
Since then, the woman, in her mid-forties, has claimed to be a Polish Jew, a Romanian gypsy and the jilted lover of an American serviceman in Germany. At times she has spoken fluent English, but refuses to give her name.
There are reports that she is Swiss, Swedish, an English school teacher or, most recently, an Israeli. There has been speculation about a link with the discovery of a headless and armless corpse that washed ashore on Cyprus last week.
The latest twist is that the woman, who has a flower tattooed on her stomach, says she wants to join a convent, but only if she can have male visitors. The request has met with some scepticism from the Greek Orthodox Church.
Frustrated police officers are losing patience. "If you ask me, she should be arrested," said Inspector Haris Tsadiotis, who is heading the investigation. "If she were restricted for a couple of days, then she would talk and tell us who she is."
