Just wanted to remind everyone in the really cold areas to remember your pets. Please be sure they have shelter from the intense cold and snow. They also need fresh water and more food than normal in cold weather. They can't ask for help, they depend on us for their survival. Thanks to all good pet owners out there.

TN here. Its supposed to hit low of 4 degrees F tonight. People might also want to fill their bathtubs with water.
With temps that cold here, and things like water mains not designed (in many places), for that much cold, their is a good chance that folks will be without water. And Im talking about for use flushing toliets, and the like.
Not trying to hijack a thread, just trying to add a helpful hint on a storm related thread.
yea. i added the oil heater to the chickens normal IR lamp. it's cold out!!
My pup has it rough, sleeping right next to the bed and all. I mean it must be frigid down on that floor even with his own comfy bed. In all reality he loves all the snow but of course he lets me know when he wants to come back inside to thaw his paws when I let him out to do business/play.
Thanks for the reminder!

It was 80* here today. Played golf in shorts and a short sleeve shirt. But it's supposed to get down in the 30s the next couple nights. My cat sleeps on the bed with us every night, warm or cold.

Four dogs and herds of cattle of mine are outside. All have been well fed today and will get extra rations first thing in the morning.
Monday-It was 20 degrees here this morning, about what was predicted, so not too bad on outside animals. Our outside dogs have houses they can go in, but I often look out and see they are asleep in the middle of the yard.

We have had two decently warm days here in the 40s but, still with snow on the ground.
My old Spaniel "Beulah" just had the greatest time out with me frolicking in the snow. She was just like a young pup again.
Even though she really can no longer see or hear. She was so happy and her tail was wagging like crazy the entire time we were out.
The temperature is going to plummet here into Sub-Zero the next two days and I will not take her out when it is that cold.
My dog is spoiled rotten. No danger of her ever freezing.
A REALLY BAD HORRIBLE DAY for my dog is when she does not get a slice of Provolone Cheese and a small handful of LIFE cereal on her food.
She will get all ticked off and won't eat.

Our Chicken Coop is not heated. I want them acclimated to the cold, otherwise a power outage could spell their doom if it got cold. The coop is well insulated and draft free. It's been down to -5 inside the coop (-10 or -15 outside) and the chickens have all been OK. The chickens get a lot of corn and corn bread when it's cold, which supposedly helps them stay warm.
The horses, goats and Maggie all get extra hay, which ferments in their guts, creating big internal heaters. Of course, heaters like that need adequate venting.
The dogs...........well....they all have 4" therapeutic foam beads. Poor babies.

I can't find anything on here with this exact issue so I hope this isn't a repeat. I'm having an issue with a 2008 WRX Auto w/ 36K miles.
Here are the relevant mods:
SPT Catback Exhaust (other exhaust parts all stock)
Pro Dyno/road tune
Cobb AccessPort
I haven't modified anything in about 2 years. Just recently, in the last 2 months, I have had some random slow starts and dropping idle speeds. When I first start the car after sitting a day or many hours it starts fine. If I drive it and then start it again in less than 3-5 hours is takes about 4-5 cranks rather than the usual 1/2 crank to start. Also...when I come to a stop...the idle will randomly drop VERY low and shake the car like it wants to stall. If I put it in N...it's fine.
I have replaced the CAI filter, fuel filter, and battery. This didn't help. I also had the recommended 30K mile service about 4 months ago and had all tasks completed as listed from Subaru. I also am not getting any check lights or codes using the Cobb diagnositc in OBD port. Are we talking fuel pump or O2 sensors...or some other sensor? I can't imagine ANYTHING going bad with only 36K miles, but hey...what do I know??
Of course...it's out of warranty now and dealers charge an arm & leg just to diagnose.
Any help/opinions would be appreciated...thanks!


text: Target-date mutual funds, which shift to less risky securities over time, weren't conservative enough to keep investors close to retirement from losing money. The average 2010 target-date mutual fund lost 25% last year, according to research firm Lipper. That's better than the 37% loss of the S&P 500 Index, but not what one would hope to see two years before they plan to retire. Mutual fund firms introduced target-date mutual funds more than 10 years ago, billing them as a hassle-free way to save for retirement. However, the stock market spasms of 2008 pushed many target-date funds off their moorings. Now, investors planning to retire by 2015 are facing significantly smaller nest eggs. Top performers: While many target-date funds posted dismal performances during the past year, some funds have weathered the recession fairly well. The SunAmerica 2015 High Watermark Fund ( HWFAX) is down 2.2%, a fraction of the 20% to 30% losses of competing funds with the same target date. The MFS Lifetime 2010 Fund ( MFSAX) has fallen 8.9% in the past year. The best-performing funds filled their portfolios with high-quality bonds, avoiding the worst of the fallout from the subprime mortgage debacle, says Morningstar ( MORN) analyst Greg Carlson. While that strategy helped during the past year, there's no guarantee these funds will lead the pack next year. Choosing the right fund: To pick a good target-date fund, you'll have to do some digging. Morningstar mutual fund analyst Michael Herbst says investors should begin their searches with established companies like Vanguard Group and T. Rowe Price Group ( TROW). "Even if their funds haven't held up as well as others in the recent past, we respect these companies' ability to execute strategy effectively," he says.

UPDATE: Homeowner Shoots Break-in Suspect in Head, Deputies Say / Local News, Severe Weather and Breaking News Coverage for West Virginia, Ohio and KentuckyCan't say I like the first line in the original or updated story "taking the law into his own hands". Why can't the media state what really happened - he protected his home and belongings from those who tried to steal them. Realistically he should have stayed indoors and been a good witness.GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ)--Taking the law into your own hands. That's what a local homeowner did when he caught a thief breaking into his storage shed. Armed with his shotgun, one shot was all it took and the burglary came to an abrupt end.
I woke up and heard the alarm and came out at 3:30 in the morning, Ivan Hurt said.
Hurt lives alone in rural northern Gallia County. He has a shed full of equipment he values and fiercely protects it. That's why when two men broke into the building early Friday morning, Ivan was ready.
I saw him come, and he turned like this and he had a flashlight in one hand and something else in the other, so I shot, Hurt said.
Mr. Hurt wasted no time, he was barely out of his house when he pulled the trigger from more than 30 yards away.
You see this spray pattern. Thats what happens when you shoot from so far away. I didnt want to kill anyone, and it still makes me sick that I even had to wound someone. Ive been robbed before and thats when I installed an alarm so I could be ready, Hurt said.
There are a lot of thefts because people are stealing to get their drugs, said Gallia County Sheriff David Martin.
Martin said thefts are up nationally and that includes Gallia County. He said residents are tired of it and they're not going to take it anymore.
The law protects you if you feel there is imminent danger to you or family members, said Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins.
And if there's any doubt about what the man was up to, Hurt said he left an incriminating piece of evidence behind.
This is a mask he was wearing, and you can even see the blood from where he was hit, said Hurt.
Ronald J. Johnson was the suspect and shooting victim. He was in fair condition Friday evening at St. Mary's Medical Center in Huntington. The second suspect got away. Police are still searching for him. Both men will face charges.
There was no word on whether Hurt will be charged with anything. Prosecutors will decide whether he acted negligently or in self defense.
Original story
GALLIA COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- After catching a suspect breaking into his garage, deputies say a Gallia County man took the law into his own hands.
The Gallia County Sheriff's Department says a homeowner in Raccoon Township, which is in the northern part of Gallia County near Rio Grande, shot a man in the head.
Investigators say the shooting victim is 28-year old Ronald J. Johnson of Vinton in Gallia County. He is listed in fair condtion at St. Mary's Medical Center in Huntington.
Deputies say the homeowner is 63-year-old Ivan Hurt.
According to deputies, around 3 a.m. Friday morning, Hurt heard someone rustling around in his garage, so he grabbed his shotgun and went out to investigate.
After deputies say he shot Johnson, another suspect got away. Sheriff's deputies are still searching for that second man.

Where I live 15 miles from a mid-size city, it can take 30 minutes or more for the police to come on a burglary call; not to bash them but violent crime is up and the department staffing is not, so they respond to those faster than theft calls and that's the way it should be.
In 30 minutes, burglars can move a lot of things that you spent many hours of your life to acquire; therefore, they are robbing you of a part of your life. Not to mention that the burglary can turn to murder if an unarmed owner stumbles in.

I guess in states that people know they can be legally shot and killed burglarising a house it really makes them think twice about it and if they get the wrong house they won't be repeating it

Usually when I make this argument people say "people don't deserve to DIE just for theft". You only get a certain amount of time in this life, and you dedicated some of it to getting money to buy these items. You could have just as easily spent this time with your family. This is time you can never get back.
The next thing I usually ask is, "if someone kidnapped you, how many hours would you wait before thinking it was acceptable to kill your captor in order to escape?" The two situations are the same.

McDonald's Beefs Up Its Breakfast Menu With SteakBy
To shake up the bacon-or-sausage duopoly of the morning, McDonald's says 9,600 restaurants nationwide will now serve any of its breakfast sandwiches with steak. That's right: steak and eggs at McDonald's. The red meat also recently made its way onto menus at Dunkin' Donuts, which last week introduced a limited-time Angus Steak Big N' Toasted breakfast sandwich. Because sometimes, shockingly, you just don't want bacon.
As part of McDonald's "steak on any" breakfast option, consumers can now pay to add steak to an Egg McMuffin, a McGriddles sandwich, an Egg & Cheese Biscuit, or an Egg & Cheese Bagel. They can also substitute steak for sausage in any platter, such as the Hotcakes & Sausage combo. It's a premium item—the Steak McMuffin, for instance, costs $3.49 in New York, compared with $2.49 for a regular McMuffin. The chain started rolling out the steak option last month.
I tried a Steak, Egg & Cheese McMuffin this morning. Replacing the Canadian-style bacon, the steak made the sandwich heartier than a regular McMuffin (it's 6.6 ounces vs. 4.8 ounces). The round patty is topped with onions and seasoned with salt and garlic, and the savoriness is strong: One sandwich has 41 percent of the recommended daily value of sodium, compared with 33 percent in the original.
Darren Tristano, an executive vice president at food industry consultancy Technomic, says McDonald's is trying to improve U.S. same-store sales growth, which has stagnated over the past year. (Comparable sales in the U.S. were up 0.2 percent in August and 1 percent in the second quarter.) Consumers perceive steak as a high-quality meat, and "McDonald's is continuing to put better quality on the menu," he says.
Also, Tristano explains, as eating conventions have changed, consumers now want breakfast foods at night (some McDonald's restaurants are offering breakfast after midnight) and dinner foods (like steak) in the morning.
McDonald's isn't the first fast-food chain to serve steak in the morning—Subway offers a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. Wendy's also introduced a steak and egg sandwich several years ago, but the chain struggled to make its breakfast program successful, and few locations are serving breakfast now. One difference with McDonald's: It's not coming out with a new sandwich, it's just inviting consumers to pay more to upgrade already-popular breakfast items, which is one way to increase the value of the check.

Aug 19, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorEthan Selley learned the importance of pacing himself in the first Lander Sprint Triathlon of his career.
Selley was the youngest athlete in the field at 11 years old to do all three stages of the triathlon.
He did the 750-yard swim, 12.4- mile bike ride and the 3.1-mile swim on Saturday morning.
Selley had a time of 1:52:18.
"I thought that I did pretty good in my first triathlon," Selley said. "My strengths are the biking and swimming. My run was not very good at all."
Selley trained for the biking and swimming parts of the triathlon.
"I like those a lot more," Selley said. "I didn't train as much with the running."
The Lander sixth-grader said running proved to be the most difficult portion because it was the last one.
"It was hard because I had to walk some of it," Selley said. "I had side cramps really bad."
His alarm clock went off at 6 a.m.
"I was pretty nervous before the race," Selley said. "I did get a lot of sleep on Friday night."
The race for the first athletes began at 7 a.m. Selley started at 8:15 a.m.
"I just did it because it sounded like it was really fun," Selley said. "I started to train three or four months ago."
Selley plays soccer and swims when he isn't getting fit for a triathlon.
"I like both sports a lot," Selley said.
Tiger racer
Lander Valley High School senior Drew Gramlich participated in the top heat on Saturday in the Lander Triathlon.
He competes for the Lander Tigers in both cross country and swimming.
Gramlich ended the triathlon in 1:15:00 to place in the top 10 in the men's division.
"I thought that I did decently in the triathlon," Gramlich said. "I was first out of the pool. I was happy about that.
"Everybody killed me on the bike just because I'm not a biker," Gramlich said.
Gramlich gained some ground on the 3.1-mile run.
"I could have been a little faster on the run, but I'm happy with it overall," Gramlich said.
This was Gramlich's fourth triathlon.
"I consider it fun just to go out and try new things," Gramlich said. "I just like to challenge myself and see how I do."
Gramlich has been training all summer in the pool. He traveled to the Western Zones Regionals in California.
He was in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters freestyle events.
"I did middle or lower half of the group," Gramlich said. "Swimming is my big thing."
Gramlich is enjoying the last few days of his summer vacation.
LVHS cross country practice begins on Monday for him and his teammates. "I'm pretty pumped to start cross country because it's going to be a good year," Gramlich said. "Hopefully, we are going to have a strong team."

Aguilar, Latimore go deep in Aeros' 7-5 loss to Mets
Matt Packer, Eric Berger struggle as Aeros drop third game in a row
AKRON, OH -- The Akron Aeros and the Binghamton Mets both broke out of their offensive slumps Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately for the home team, the Mets broke out a little bit more.
The Aeros suffered their first 0-3 start to a season since 1997 as Akron fell to Binghamton 7-5 at Canal Park. The B-Mets hit the ball hard all day and busted out for 14 hits and seven runs after starting the year with consecutive 2-1 wins.
The Aeros, on the other hand struggled outside of two big home runs. Manager Edwin Rodriguez could get frustrated with the overall lack of scoring and wins, but he thinks his young team just needs time.
"As a staff we have to be patient," Rodriguez said. "Because if you look around, we have six or seven guys who were in A-ball last year. They are trying to realize that they're in Double-A. They're trying to believe that they belong here.
"As soon as they settle down, they'll go back to what they are."
B-Mets right-hander Logan Verrett continued Binghamton's success against Aeros hitters in this series, two-hitting the team through six scoreless innings. Rodriguez remarked on how the Top 30 prospect in the Mets' system seemed to be in midseason form.
"You have to tip your hat to them," Rodriguez said. "They've been changing speeds. They've been throwing strikes, attacking the strike zone. They've been doing everything right."
Binghamton manager Pedro Lopez kept Verrett in the game one inning too long, however. Right fielder Carlos Moncrief started the seventh inning with an infield single back up the middle, setting the stage for first baseman Jesus Aguilar.
Aguilar hit Akron's first home run of the year, smacking a 2-1 pitch from Verrett deep into the bullpen in right field. That opposite field power is a big factor for Aguilar, as Rodriguez noted.
"That's what he is," Rodriguez said. "His power is [to] right-center, right field. He hit a double yesterday to right field. [Today], home run to right field."
Shortstop Ronny Rodriguez drove in another run with an infield single to make the score 5-3. Akron was close at that point, but the pitching just could not keep them in the game.
The Aeros got marvelous pitching from Danny Salazar and T.J. House in the first two games of the season, but left-hander Matt Packer really struggled Saturday. Packer, who missed a decent chunk of 2012 with a rotator cuff injury, simply did not have it.
The left-hander gave up plenty of hard contact and allowed nine hits -- including two doubles and two triples -- while giving up five runs (four earned) in 4.2 innings.
"He's not a power pitcher," Rodriguez said of Packer. "He relies on changing speeds and spotting the ball. He was pitching up in the zone today... A guy like that, he needs to pitch either way inside or down low. He was up in the zone and his pitches were getting over the plate.
"Unless you throw 98+, you can't do that."
Packer's fastball sat between 84-86 MPH Saturday, well below the 87-90 range he was in before the shoulder issue last year. Rodriguez is not worried about that shoulder, however, chalking the velocity dip up to other factors.
"First outing, cold weather," Rodriguez said of Packer's velocity. "[With those], usually you're going to see 1-2 miles [per hour] less than usual."
Eric Berger relieved Packer and was not much better, struggling to find his control and allowing three hits, two runs, one walk, and two wild pitches in 2.2 innings.
He managed to walk the tightrope in his first two innings, but Berger fell apart in the eighth when a two-run triple from designated hitter Blake Forsythe put the game out of reach for good.
Forsythe, who finished a home run short of the cycle, drove Binghamton's offense, going 3-for-4 with three RBI.
Left fielder Quincy Latimore, who Cleveland acquired in return for Jeanmar Gomez this offseason, made things interesting in the ninth with a two-run home run to center.
The Aeros (0-3) will look to avoid a sweep tomorrow when right-hander Paolo Espino takes to the mound. The B-Mets (3-0) will counter with right-hander Tyler Pill, the fourth consecutive Top 30 prospect to start for Binghamton.
Attendance: 1,702... Time of Game: 3:00... First pitch was at 2:08... Game time temperature: 49 degrees... Hot-hitting second baseman Jose Ramirez continued his hitting streak, poking a single to right field in the eighth inning. The switch-hitter is now 5-for-12 on the year... Cleveland native Alex Lavisky made his season debut, starting at catcher and lacing a double deep into the right-center gap... Sun was a factor in the early innings, as Moncrief had one fly ball land next to him and seemed to struggle to pick up a few others.

Waste-to-energy is the process of generating energy — electricity, heat or fuel — through the treatment of various waste products. It's a clean and reliable source of energy that allows food processing facilities such as breweries and slaughterhouses to turn their waste into a source of income — an opportunity rather than an expense.
One-third of all food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted. That's about 1.3 billion tons of food wasted annually!
We believe converting this food waste into energy is a much more productive option than paying to dump it in landfills. RWL Water Group is currently harnessing waste-to-energy technologies at food processing facilities across the globe.

Legally Blonde
- No Rating Available
Movie Review
Thirty-six years after the Beach Boys first sang the praises of California girls, Legally Blonde lifts up an unofficial ambassador for what may be the West Coast's most superficial subculture. Part Valley Girl, part Malibu Barbie, Elle Woods is a perky, style-conscious sorority babe draped in pink and eager to solve the world's fashion emergencies. She lives for the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, cleverly themed campus mixers and to hear her steady boyfriend, Warner, propose marriage. But just when she thinks he's about to pop the question, he drops a bombshell on this bombshell, explaining that his future in law school and politics demands a more "serious" woman—more Jackie Kennedy than Marilyn Monroe. She's out. Harvard is in.
A desperate Elle wants to win Warner back, so she applies to Harvard Law School. And wouldn't you know, this fashion merchandising major whose most impressive résumé item was appearing in a Ricky Martin video gets in! (Harvard must believe that any PR is good PR.) Pretty soon, Elle is so beaten down by the snobby, backbiting Ivy Leaguers that her motivation shifts from wooing Warner to proving herself bright enough to make the grade and, eventually, help prove the innocence of a woman accused of murdering her husband. With a few lucky breaks, she does both, standing by her principles and being true to herself in the process. Think Clueless-meets-Erin Brockovich.
positive elements: On the whole, Legally Blonde has a good heart, which is essentially the heart of Elle. Her outlook on the world may be jaded by superficial totems, but she's not at all selfish, and goes out of her way to show kindness and compassion to everyone she meets. Elle befriends a manicurist struggling with her own self-worth, and proceeds to spice up her life. When she overhears a geeky law student being rejected and put down by a girl he asked out, Elle steps in and jeopardizes her own social status by raising his (she pretends to be brokenhearted that he never returned her phone calls). Elle refuses to believe the worst about Brooke, the client she's involved in defending. And when Brooke confides in Elle, the budding law student refuses to violate that trust even when doing so could further her legal career. When others are cruel to her, Elle doesn't retaliate; she just doubles her efforts to prove her true character and intelligence. She rejects the sexual advances of a professor. At her graduation from Harvard, Elle hails "passion, courage of conviction, and a strong sense of self" as cornerstones for success. At one point, she encourages a colleague, "You need to have a little more faith in people." With the aid of a positive attitude, hard work and an unwillingness to hold a grudge, she has the ability to turn enemies into friends. People change their opinions of Elle and develop respect for her (the audience included), proving that first impressions and outward appearances can be misleading.
spiritual content: Elle refers to Cosmopolitan magazine as "the bible."
sexual content: The opening credits play over shots of young women in revealing outfits and bikini underwear. Many shots of girls in revealing swimwear. Dialogue includes crass sexual innuendo, anatomical slang, and a classroom discussion about sperm donors, one-night stands and masturbation. Elle's California girlfriends joke about STDs and giving a teacher a lap dance. In court, Elle recalls a wet T-shirt contest. There are also references to lesbianism and homosexuality.
violent content: Some slapstick violence. In the courtroom, lawyers describe a bloody murder.
crude or profane language: A dozen exclamatory uses of God's name make up approximately one-third of the film's pointless profanities (two s-words, no f-words).
drug and alcohol content: Quite a bit of social drinking, but no one gets drunk. Elle and Warner enjoy wine at dinner, and the fermented grape is also consumed at a Harvard party. Frat guys carry a keg of beer, apparently on a mission of excess. Other characters drink beer as well. Elle's dad appears only twice throughout the movie, a martini in hand each time. A girl claims to have been involved in "Lesbians Against Drunk Driving." After Elle gets dumped by Warner, her friends suggest that she take the narcotic painkiller Percocet.
other negative elements: Nothing against the film's girl-power emphasis, but with one exception (Luke Wilson), the noteworthy men in this story are either vacuous hunks, self-important jerks, emasculated gays or inept dweebs. Statements like "Men are big fat retards" add to the male-bashing. Elsewhere, Elle's refusal to betray Brooke's confidence has a moral flip side that gets glossed over. It seems the exercise-video guru's alibi is that she was getting liposuction at the time of the murder (the big secret), and if word gets out, her reputation would be ruined. Okay, Brooke may not be a murderer, but don't her fans deserve to know that she's a fraud? Also, the play on words in the title comes across as rather insensitive to those who are indeed "legally blind."
conclusion: Not groundbreaking stuff, but Legally Blonde does what it set out to do—provide light summer entertainment. Witherspoon is very good as Elle, a ditz of substance who could have been cloying, but comes across as charming instead. Despite some convenient and illogically truncated plot turns, the good-natured story drew me in anyway. I enjoyed witnessing Elle's positive impact on the people around her. In a sea of Hollywood cynicism, Legally Blonde isn't too hip to uphold virtue. Even so, this fish-out-of-water comedy/courtroom drama still resorts to language and humor that will have families citing it for contempt.

Harry And Louise Enjoying Socialized Medicine By Now
It's called Medicare! Of course, it's possible that they have long since died slow, painful deaths waiting for life-saving treatment while suing their insurance company. The 'Harry and Louise' ad campaign was largely blamed for killing the Clinton universal health care initiative (although there were some self-inflicted wounds on that one). Now, despite meeting with Obama recently and promising 'reform', it looks like the healthcare industry and their lobbyists are gearing up again. Paul Krugman explained it all last week in his excellent column 'Blue Double Cross' for The New York Times,
… the insurance industry is busily lobbying Congress to block one crucial element of health care reform, the public option — that is, offering Americans the right to buy insurance directly from the government as well as from private insurance companies. And at least some insurers are gearing up for a major smear campaign.
On Monday, just a week after the White House photo-op, The Washington Post reported that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina was preparing to run a series of ads attacking the public option. The planning for this ad campaign must have begun quite some time ago.
The Post has the storyboards for the ads, and they read just like the infamous Harry and Louise ads that helped kill health care reform in 1993. Troubled Americans are shown being denied their choice of doctor, or forced to wait months for appointments……..
Republicans are already out ahead of the campaign and they seem to have two talking points: 1) A government insurance program is socialized medicine and un-American, and 2) Do you want a bureaucrat making your medical decisions for you? As to that last point — yes please — because right now I have bean-counting greed-heads making these decisions, and they have a direct stake in denying my claim. Hell, it took a years-long class action suit to get California Blue Cross to rein in their retroactive policy cancellation.
As to the issue of a government run health insurance — if Nana don't mind socialized medicine then who am I to complain? Furthermore, if Republicans like Newt Gingrich (who has reared his ugly bulbous head once again) are against a government run insurance program, and Medicare is a government run insurance program, then ipso facto Newt Gingrich and the Republican party must want to dismantle Medicare. Alert the AARP!

Protect yourself from fraud
Certain organizations claim to offer "support" to Canadian citizens who want to apply for a passport, such as by selling information kits that outline application procedures. Some also falsely claim to be able to speed up the passport application process for an additional fee.
What you should know:
- No third-party person or group can speed up the processing of your passport application.
- Only Passport service locations are authorized to collect passport processing fees. Service locations include: the Passport Program regional offices; Service Canada Centres; selected Canada Post counters; and Government of Canada offices abroad. Our fees are regulated under the User Fees Act.
- Contact the Passport Program free of charge if you have any questions about your passport application.
- the Passport Program will never ask you to disclose the card security code on the back of your credit card when paying the passport fee.
- Passport application forms are available free of charge.
Safeguard your personal information
- Canadian passport holders play a vital role in maintaining the reputation of Canadian travel documents.
- Never give out personal information contained in your passport or in your passport application (including photocopies) unless you are confident it is for a trusted organization or individual. The passport bearer assumes all responsibility for giving information contained in the passport to a third party.
Lost, stolen or misdirected passport information
In the event that a photocopy or scan of your passport is lost or stolen, or if you have provided a photocopy, scan or record of the information in your passport, to a person or organization in error:
- Provided your passport, proof of citizenship and supporting identity documents are still in your possession, the risk that a third party could obtain a passport in your name is low.
- A passport cannot be issued or replaced based on photocopies of original documents alone. Further, a passport cannot be issued or replaced solely on the basis of the information contained in a passport.
If you think that the security of your passport has been compromised, you may apply for a new passport to replace the current one. Please note:
- The remaining validity period of the current passport cannot be transferred onto the new one.
- You will have to pay the full fee to apply for a new passport.
Identity theft
If you believe that you may have been a victim of identity theft, or that your identity may have been used to fraudulently obtain a passport or travel document, please contact us.
You may obtain more information about identity theft from:

I use Smartcarry 5 days a week as my EDC with either a snubbie or my Makarov .380
I find it to be the most comfortable deep concealment holster available.
Not as fast as strong side IWB or OWB but as fast as my tuckable.
I recommend Smartcarry to anyone needing deep concealment. Plus Charlie is a breath of fresh air to deal with in this day and age.

We're looking for an editor to lead Quartz's journalism in Europe.
Based in London, this is one of our most senior editorial positions. It involves supervising a growing team of writers and editors in London and on the continent, with the goal of expanding Quartz's coverage in Europe and expanding its readership in the region and worldwide.
Quartz is a digitally native news outlet founded in 2012. In four years it has grown from 20 to 200 employees, with full-time editorial staff in five US cities and nine other countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia. We pride ourselves on producing high-quality, intellectually ambitious journalism about the global economy in a spirit of bracing creativity and experimentation, using all the digital tools on offer.
As Europe editor, you will be involved in every aspect of Quartz's journalism, including assigning and editing stories, planning coverage for the short and long term, managing reporters and editors, supervising production of our daily email newsletters and breaking-news app, monitoring analytics, working with the audience-development team, coordinating with colleagues in other regions, and shaping Quartz's strategy globally. You will represent Quartz in the region on television and radio, at events, and in conversations with partners. You will also be encouraged to have your own areas of intellectual and journalistic interest, and to write/create regularly, as time allows.
We're looking for someone who will lead and inspire the team through energy, curiosity, creativity, intellectual rigor, and openness to new ideas. The ideal applicant will possess an obsessive interest in news, a good knowledge of world affairs, a background in business or economic reporting, experience working in more than one country, knowledge of foreign languages, facility with data, a love of clear writing, and fluency in traditional reporting and editing methods, as well as a deep understanding of strategies and tactics for producing journalism that can find a broad readership online, and familiarity with the rhythms of digital media and the tools of the internet. The ability to juggle and prioritize multiple responsibilities, communicate well, and think on your feet will be essential. Experience in editing and leading reporters is a sine qua non.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant work that you have written or edited.
Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two "pillar gifts" in its candidates. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions.
1. Force of Intellect - Atlantic Media seeks a discipline and rigor of thought as manifested, often, in exceptional academic performance and, later, success in a professional environment.
2. Spirit of Generosity - Equally, Atlantic Media seeks what we term a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
Atlantic Media strives to be an equal opportunity employer of ethnic minorities, women, and people with disabilities.

text: WESTMINSTER, Colo., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2012, average rental prices for single family residences in La Quinta, California increased more than anywhere else in the country, according to rental pricing analyses conducted by RentRange LLC, the nation's largest provider of single-family rental market data, analytics and valuations solutions to the financial services and real estate industries. La Quinta, whose population is just under 38,000, saw average rents increase by $932 or 35.75%, from December 2011 to December 2012. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130211/FL58202-INFO ) Six other California cities are included in the Top 10 markets with the greatest rental price increases for single-family residences in 2012. Three, like La Quinta, are in Riverside County's Coachella Valley. Two are in San Diego County and one is in Orange County. The other three cities in the Top 10 markets with the greatest rental price increases for single-family homes are Harker Heights, Texas; Sarasota, Florida; and Mableton, Georgia. The cities on this Top 10 list were determined by comparing RentRange's rental market data from December 2011 to rental data from December 2012. The homes surveyed were three-bedroom single-family residences, in cities with populations of 25,000 or more. RentRange analyzed information from the industry's largest database of single-family rental information to determine the top 10 markets with the greatest rental price increases for three-bedroom single-family residences. The company's proprietary database is comprised of rental records dating back to 2008. It consists of information collected from a national network of RentRange's strategic partners, which include rental search portals, rental data aggregators, residential property managers, real estate investment enterprises, real estate management software providers, and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). All rent data is scrubbed, normalized, and checked for data integrity prior to incorporation into RentRange's data warehouse. RentRange does not utilize screen-scrapers or bots to acquire protected or copyrighted data from the web. All information is acquired and utilized under licensed data-usage agreements. RentRange does not consider using data sources with high levels of potential fraud and/or misrepresentation as a resource.

My son hired Ms. Stanley to represent him in his divorce. She was phenominal! My son is a Wounded Warrior and Ms. Stanley showed great compassion and understanding towards him as she helped him through his divorce. His greatest concern was being able to have shared custody of his baby. She took the time to explain everything to him including what to expect when he went to mediation. She kept him informed on everything. My son remarked after his mediation, "Ms. Stanley ran the show. She was so knowledgeable. She was like a judge, she knew everything." Due to Ms. Stanley's expertise and professionalism, mediation went smoothly for both my son and his former wife and they were able to settle amicably. My son was especially happy that he was able to get shared custody of the greatest joy in his life, his baby. Due to Ms. Stanley's efforts, a boy and his daddy will continue to be together. My husband and I are very grateful to you Ms. Stanley for everything you did for our son. Thank you!
We would highly recommend you to anyone!!

We hired this attorney several months ago to handle a business case that remains unresolved. We had no communication regarding fees or status of the case for 5 months. We just received a bill for triple our initial payment. Had we been informed of the costs involved; we would have taken a different route. Lack of forthright communication was a major issue.

My wife and I hired Ms. Stanley to represent us in adopting our two daughters. Even though this was a new area of law for her (which we knew before we hired her), we trusted her completely to help us, based on her prior experience as a lawyer. I was impressed with her determination to quickly learn the area of law, as she took CLE classes and talked to other attorneys with more experience in adoptions. She quickly and competently handled the matter, and the adoption is now final. I am also an attorney, but practice in a completely different area of law. I highly recommend Ms. Stanley for any legal needs you may have.
Posted by Alicia
Ms. Stanley has a wealth of experience in many aspects of the practice of law. I was impressed by her professional and attentive demeanor.
I would recommend her without reservation.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Our staff and volunteers, collectively, have over 30 years of experience training, showing, rescuing and placing dogs.
We offer resident and non-resident behavioral modification services, one-on-one consultations, lessons and programs.
If you have a behavior problem, please contact us for help.
If you are interested in a specific dog that we have available, please contact us via email and schedule a phone interview. We will discuss the dog in detail and together we will determine whether he/she is a good candidate for your home. We will then schedule a home visit and introduce the dog to you and your home. This can be a one-visit process and if all goes well your new dog can stay.
If you are interested in working with us to look for your "perfect" dog, please contact us via email. We do not look for purebred dogs, or dogs of a specific breed mix. Our dogs are placed based on personality and natural temperament. We will work with you throughout the process of adopting a dog, helping to determine what type of dog will fit best into your family. Please contact us via email if you'd like us help determine and find your "perfect" dog. We'll schedule a phone interview and begin the process.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Aviation pioneer Nancy-Bird Walton dies
Ready for take off ... Nancy Bird in 1934.
Photo: Fairfax Archives
Australia's pioneering woman pilot, Nancy-Bird Walton, has died aged 93.
She died from natural causes about 2pm today at Mosman on Sydney's north shore.
After learning to fly at 17 in the 1930s, she was still a teenager when she operated an air ambulance service in outback NSW.
It meant landing in paddocks and on unsealed roads.
She was the first pupil of aviation great Charles Kingsford Smith when he founded a flying school in 1933.
But she was so short she needed two cushions to see out of the cockpit and reach the foot pedals.
The first woman to gain a commercial pilot's licence in Australia, she was named a Living National Treasure in 1997 .
Qantas named its first A380 super jumbo after Ms Walton.
Qantas chief Alan Joyce said Nancy-Bird had been a trailblazer for Australian women pilots and an inspirational figure in the nation's aviation.
"We are so proud that our first A380 is named after Nancy-Bird and will carry her name into the future," Mr Joyce said. "Nancy-Bird's boundless energy, her courage and her vision for the role of women in aviation represented the best of Australia."

About to run my SVTF at the track what do you think i will run?
Hey everyone I am about to run my SVTF on Sat at the track. I have a Procharger with the 8psi pulley (tuned by Hypnotic), ORP, FC TB, VF rear mount, Steeda STS, with 42lb injectors and motorcraft copper spark plugs. What does everyone think I will run? Later in the day I will be going to the dyno what does everyone think i will put down there?
i have no clue but you have to let us know
i will lol i just dont wanna get dissappointed
not everybody at once now lol
hmmmm......to make an educated guess i would say about 19.2-19.5 and you're probably at around 100whp!
(i'm kidding)
idk i would say in the 13's somewhere, maybe high 12s? that's what i would think. make sure you post what you actually do saturday night or sunday
Hmmm tough to say really... What kind of tires do you have, and have you ran the strip before? I dont know what kind of HP you are putting down but I think 12's is a little difficult for sub 300 hp? I have no clue what the procharger @ 8psi does to the svt though so i dunno.
I would say low 13's though as my guess (slightly uneducated without more info but thats what it is! :) )
Best of luck to ya
I will, the dyno is still up in the air but Im def going to the track
stock shitty conit's...................and yes but not in this car
I would probably warm them up then...generally I dont but if you plan on getting new tires relatively soon then just smoke them down a bit to get them warmed up (try turning the wheel to get the left tire to warm up to so your not peg-legging as bad at the start)
I am gonna prob run mine sat. nite...as long as my new rim comes by friday...... [thumb]...i'll post up the dyno as well....(gonna do a dyno/track day)

We know there is no shortage of strong opinions about iOS vs. Android. Regardless of those arguments, the Facebook app for iOS is outstanding, and by just about any measure a superior execution compared to its Android cousin (and other platforms). Facebook knows this, and it is part of the reason why the iPhone has so much traction with its employees.
Facebook has enhanced its campaign to get employees to make the switch to Android by posting propaganda posters around its Menlo Park, California campus. It calls on employees to 'droidfood (Andrdoid and dogfood), which means to get employees to use Facebook on Android, test it, live it, and eat it (testing your own programs, hence eating your own dog food).
One of the new features to help evaluate apps that are in beta testing is called "Rage Shake." It allows employees to just shake the device, it logs the current disposition of the app and device and it sends it to the mobile app developers. Facebook has about 4,000 employee testers, so that test feature streamlines the flow of information coming in which, in turn, will mean big improvements to the Facebook app for Android down the road.

Boyd Martin, a New South Whales, Australian native, was born to Toa and Ross Martin on August 1979. If the name Toa and Ross Martin sound familiar it's because it should. Both of Martin's parents were Olympians that had participated in competitions in 1968. Toa Martin competed in speed skating, while Ross Martin competed in cross-country skating. If there's one thing that both of Martin's parents understood very well, that would be competition, commitment, and extreme determination. This would be instilled in Martin early on in his life.
The Early Years for Boyd Martin
Although Boyd Martin did have a very eventful childhood, he always dreamed about horses and being one of the best riders, trainer and coach he could be. He finished his early school career only to go on and seek higher education which he completed in 1997. In 1998, he was able to secure his NCAS level I certificate of coaching, as well as the NSW Equestrian Center Horsemanship Certificate.
In order to stay busy and within a field that he loved so dearly, Martin Boyd decided to continue working in Australia at the New South Wales equestrian Center for seven years – dating from 1999 through 2006. Throughout that time, he worked extremely hard at learning every aspect of equestrian training which included training event horses, coaching, breeding performance horses, and breaking young horses. At this time, he worked with a well-known equestrian rider by the name of Heath Ryan.
Boyd Martin's Move to the US
After learning a great deal under the wings of Heath Ryan, Martin decided it was time to form his own company which he called Windurra Australia Party Ltd. At his company he did pretty much the same thing as he did under Heath Ryan which was training event horses, coaching, breeding performance horses, and breaking in young horses. During these same years he also competed in a number of competitions and events throughout Australia. Some of those competitions led to some extremely great moments which includes the time he won at the Adelaide CCI** in 2003. At that time he was riding a very unique horse by the name of True Blue Toozac.
The reason why this event was also important is because it was the Olympic selection trials for the Athens Olympics being held in 2004. In addition, it was considered one of the long last format 4-star events that was ever going to be held. As a 4-Star Eventing competitor, Martin had definitely made a mark for himself in the US. After moving to the US in 2007, Martin Boyd decided to enter a debut competition. To everyone's astonishment, Martin Board was able to amass 306 points at the US Eventing Association's Rider of the Year Leader Board which was an all-time record for a debuting rider.
Martin moved on to the Fair Hill International CCI** where he finished 4th riding Neville Bardos, and second riding Ying Yang Yo. After providing such a performance, both of Martin's horses and Martin himself were placed on the Australian Olympic team's short list. However, Boyd Martin had aspirations of winning metal at the Olympics and went on to train under Philip Dunn. Martin would train as a US national equestrian team member under Dutton. He would go on to win more competitions and ultimately find himself in the 2012 Olympics in London.

Robust load frequency controller in a deregulated environment: a mu-Synthesis approach
Bevrani, Hassan (1999) Robust load frequency controller in a deregulated environment: a mu-Synthesis approach. In 1999 IEEE lntemational Conference on Control Applications, August 22-27, 1999, Hawaii, USA.
|PDF (412kB)
An approach based on mu-synthesis tools is proposed for the design of robust load frequency controller for electric power system in deregulated environment. In this paper, we consider the system (area) as a collection of independent generation, transmission and distribution companies and Connections between this area and the rest of the system are taken as disturbances. An example is given to illustrate the proposed approach. The resulting controller is shown to minimize the effect of disturbances and achieve acceptable frequency regulation.

Here's the good news: If you've been waiting to buy a car for your kids, your folks or yourself, you'll likely find a large selection of used cars to choose from. Dealers expect about 800,000 quality used cars to move through their lots this year, thanks in large part to a record number of lease cars reaching lease maturation. That, in short, presents an opportunity to get a good car at a decent price — without the crazy depreciation you absorb when you buy a new car.
While the large selection may be a little dizzying, it's ultimately a good thing. With lots of inventory, you have more vehicles to compare and can more easily walk away from a sketchy deal. Go through your selection systematically — using these steps to get the best vehicle for you and your budget.
Be sure to also check out this article, with more details on how to get the best car loan.
Now, on to the used-car buying tips:
1. Determine what you need versus what would be nice to have
Syda Productions / Shutterstock.com
It's easy to get caught up in car-buying excitement and drive away with one that just doesn't suit your needs. Think of car shopping like dieting. Sure you have every intention of choosing the good-for-you sedan, but it's tough to resist the siren call of that high-powered luxury car loaded with extras.
Before you visit a lot or peruse the online car advertisements, sit down and make a list of "must-haves" and "nice-to-haves" for your next car. Do you need four doors so the kids can easily get in and out? How often would you really use a high-end entertainment system? Deciding on what you need most will help you narrow your search. Of course you can change the list as you move along. But having a baseline from which to build will ensure you don't end up with a car that doesn't make sense for you.
2. Make a list of cars you want to consider
Gonzalo Aragon / Shutterstock.com
Sure you're dying to get out there and start shopping, but don't visit any car lots yet.
Take that list of "must-haves" and "nice-to-haves" and determine what models you should consider. You might think that if you know you want an SUV, you can just start shopping. Not true.
There are two basic types of SUVs — car-based and truck-based. Do you want a car-based SUV — perhaps to drive the kids around town — or do you want a truck-based SUV for some serious sport? Does the height of the step into the SUV matter? It might if you have young kids with short legs or older folks who don't have the mobility they once did. The following sites will help you narrow the vehicles, makes and models you want to consider:
3. Shop for financing
maxuser / Shutterstock.com
Yes, dealers will offer you financing, but you can often save hundreds if not thousands of dollars if you seek your own financing. The problem with dealer financing is that you don't know if you are signing for the lowest possible rate, reported Edmunds.
Plus a preapproved rate strengthens your resolve to stay on budget. Think of a preapproved loan like having a set amount of cash in your pocket.
One place to shop for car financing is our Solutions Center. Check out the loans on offer there, by clicking here.
That's not to say you shouldn't consider any dealer financing. Some dealers have forged such deep relationships with local lenders their financing is impossible to beat.
You may also find that dealer financing allows you to take advantage of rebates and incentives that save you so much more money it might make more sense to buy a new car instead of a used car. You can search for those rebates and incentives via Edmunds.
The bottom line — research your financing options.
For more details on getting the right financing, click here.
4. Work with your salesperson
bikeriderlondon / Shutterstock.com
We've all had bad experiences with car salespeople, and dealers know that. Many dealers and automakers put their salespeople through intense training — some have even eliminated commission sales — to ensure a more productive buying experience. And, yes, that's true for salespeople who represent both new and used vehicles.
One of the best ways to find the car that best suits your needs is to share your "must haves" and "nice-to-haves" with the salesperson. That will save you time and help you narrow down the cars you want to consider.
Not sure where to shop for the car you want? AutoTrader.com will tell you where the cars you seek are sold.
5. Don't buy based on monthly payments
kurhan / Shutterstock.com
One of the most serious errors car buyers who don't seek preapproved financing make is to concentrate on monthly payments instead of total cost of the car. Some car loans go up to seven years, so you can can easily negotiate your "monthly" payment to suit almost any budget yet spend much more than you'd planned to pay. In fact, you may pay more than the car is worth. That's called being "upside down" on your car loan — something you always want to avoid.
Also, remember that the negotiated price of a car isn't the final price. Whether you buy a new or used car, expect to pay taxes and various fees for tag, title and more. And don't forget insurance. Call your insurance agent and make sure that the vehicle you plan to buy won't boost your premiums to a rate that doesn't make sense for you.
6. Take a step back
Aleksandar Mijatovic / Shutterstock.com
It's difficult to walk away from a car, especially a used car, that seems perfect for you. I did that last December when I found what I thought was the car of my dreams at a very low price. The good news was that I did buy the car a few days later. When I went back, I felt more secure in my purchase.
In the days between test driving the car and signing on the dotted line, I checked the CarFax report to make sure the vehicle hadn't suffered flood, fire or other damage. The dealer had supplied me with the report and showed me where the car's paint had bubbled and was repainted. I was satisfied. You can get your own CarFax report on their site.
I also checked for vehicle recalls. Yes, auto dealers track what used cars are under recall and are obligated not to sell them. It's not unheard of for cars to occasionally slip through the cracks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration makes it easy to double-check.

Sequencing Stories: Michael Margolis sees storytelling as the DNA source code for culture

Asking Michael Margolis, CEO of Get Storied, "so, what's your story?" is a little like asking a butcher "what's the best cut of a meat?"—at least insofar as it's the kind of question both are asked with a frequency bordering on absurdity.

SPA WELLNESS: Have Heart, Your Clients Will Heal
What you need to know about "broken heart syndrome"
When we suffer emotionally from painful losses, our hearts know it. "Broken heart syndrome," recognized by doctors as "stress cardiomyopathy," produces actual physical sensations that mimic a heart attack: chest pain and difficulty breathing. The symptoms, however, aren't caused by heart disease; they're triggered by hormonal surges brought on by extreme distress, which compromise blood flow to the heart.
And, unlike a heart attack, broken heart syndrome doesn't necessarily leave scars—the heart does not have to suffer permanent damage from the experience. In fact, says Loyola University Health System cardiologist Dr. Binh An P. Phan, "Most people will get better in a few weeks without medical treatment."
Of course, this doesn't mean that people in emotional distress who have heart symptoms shouldn't seek immediate medical attention—of course, they should—but it does remind us that our minds and hearts are intimately connected. And that, fortunately, one is very capable of healing the other.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
A powerful, unflinching novel that opens a window on an unknown aspect of a little-known war: the experiences of Chinese POWs held by Americans during the Korean conflict.
War Trash, the extraordinary new novel by the National Book Awardwinning author of Waiting, is Ha Jin's most ambitious work to date: a powerful, unflinching story that opens a window on an unknown aspect of a little-known warthe experiences of Chinese POWs held by Americans during the Korean conflictand paints an intimate portrait of conformity and dissent against a sweeping canvas of confrontation.
Set in 195153, War Trash takes the form of the memoir of Yu Yuan, a young Chinese army officer, one of a corps of "volunteers" sent by Mao to help shore up the Communist side in Korea. When Yu is captured, his command of English thrusts him into the role of unofficial interpreter in the psychological warfare that defines the POW camp.
Taking us behind the barbed wire, Ha Jin draws on true historical accounts to render the complex world the prisoners inhabita world of strict surveillance and complete allegiance to authority. Under the rules of war and the constraints of captivity, every human instinct is called into question, to the point that what it means to be human comes to occupy the foremost position in every prisoner's mind.
As Yu and his fellow captives struggle to create some sense of community while remaining watchful of the deceptions inherent in every exchange, only the idea of home can begin to hold out the promise that they might return to their former selves. But by the end of this unforgettable novelan astonishing addition to the literature of war that echoes classics like Dostoevsky's Memoirs from the House of the Dead and the works of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owenthe very concept of home will be more profoundly altered than they can even begin to imagine.
1. Crossing The Yalu
Before the Communists came to power in 1949, I was a sophomore at the Huangpu Military Academy, majoring in political education. The school, at that time based in Chengdu, the capital of Szechuan Province, had played a vital part in the Nationalist regime. Chiang Kai-shek had once been its principal, and many of his generals had graduated from it. In some ways, the role of the Huangpu in the Nationalist army was like that of West Point in the American military.
The cadets at the Huangpu had been disgusted with the corruption of the Nationalists, so they readily surrendered to the People's Liberation Army when the Communists arrived. The new government disbanded our academy and turned it into a part of the Southwestern University of Military and Political Sciences. We were encouraged to continue our studies and prepare ourselves to serve the new China. The Communists promised to treat us fairly, without any discrimination. Unlike most of my fellow ...
The story is told with few frills; the descriptions are stark but immensely compelling; and the narrator's voice made more authentic by being sometimes less than eloquent and at other times bursting with raw emotion.
If you liked War Trash, try these:
On August 30, 1942 - 'Zero Night' - 40 Allied officers staged the most audacious mass escape of World War II. Told with a novelist's eye for drama and detail, this rip-roaring adventure is all the more thrilling because it really happened.
Moving deftly from a Japanese POW camp to contemporary Australia, this savagely beautiful novel tells a story of love, death, and family, exploring the many forms of good and evil, war and truth, guilt and transcendence.

Exercise and activity – how it helps lymphoedema?
Hayes, Sandra C. (2009) Exercise and activity – how it helps lymphoedema? In 21st International Society of Lymphology Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Sydney. (Unpublished)
|Presentation (PDF 15kB)
Research investigating the role of exercise in the prevention and/or management of lymphoedema is lacking. For fear of initiating or exacerbating lymphoedema, and its associated symptoms, those with lymphoedema have traditionally been cautioned against engaging in physical activity rather than encouraged to be regularly active. However, recent preliminary findings suggest that being inactive may increase risk of developing lymphedema, and that for those with lymphoedema, participation in an exercise program does not exacerbate the condition. This presentation will address why engaging in regular physical activity is important, what we know about the role of exercise with respect to lymphoedema prevention and management, and will provide some practical recommendations about becoming and staying regularly active for those with lymphoedema.

Deadline Approaches for Health Insurance
Amarillo, Texas -
That's because open enrollment for 2014 is about to end.
But many still have questions about signing up for health insurance.
She says the site saw more than 4 million visits last week.
If you're uninsured, you have less than two weeks to sign up for the Affordable Care Act.
That's because open enrollment for 2014 is about to end.
But many still have questions about signing up for health insurance.
The Department of Health and Human Services says 5 million people have now signed up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
But if you aren't one of those people, the clock is ticking.
Debra Hammer from the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange says,"March 31 is the end of open enrollment and that means that's the last time you can buy insurance off the exchange for 2014. Otherwise you have to wait for open enrollment to open up again in the fall to get insurance for 2015."
She says if you miss the deadline, you risk more than just paying out of pocket for doctor's visits.
Next year, on your tax return, you could be fined $95 or 1% of your adjusted household income, whichever is more.
"So for a lot of people they may think 95 dollars isn't a big deal, but if you make say $36,000 a year, it would be 360 dollars,"says Hammer.
You can sign up for the Affordable Care Act through healthcare.gov.
When you go to log on, make sure you have a few things.
You need to have last year's tax information for you and your family, projected incomes for this year, medical history, social security numbers, and employer and income information for every member of your household who needs coverage.
The administrator for the centers for medicare and medicaid services, says the last several days have been some of the busiest for healthcare.gov.
She says the site saw more than 4 million visits last week.
New Mexico has a state run health insurance exchange.
Texas and Oklahoma do not.
The Congressional Budget Office predicted about seven million people nationwide will sign up by the deadline.
