Competitive swimming at the YMCA at an early age gave him a taste for accomplishing goals, including tying a national record at twelve years old and paying for his own college prep high school education. Tim earned a swimming scholarship to the University of Toledo and focused on starting a family, competitive swimming, and his career. He earned an MBA and rose to high levels of management at Dana Corp. and Pilkington plc, both multinational corporations. In 1998 Tim began his foray into the nonprofit world, was named CEO of a national non-profit organization, The Independent Glass Association. He introduced seven new programs and services, and managed national conventions. Tim was a driving force for helping small independently-owned glass shops compete against national chains and end unfair trade practices. Later he joined The Dwyer Group, a leading franchising company in seven different industries, serving as Director of Business Development and Franchise Systems Manager. Tim began suffering from migraine headaches as a teenager which quickly became frequent debilitating events. He tried the medicines his physicians prescribed but they all failed because of intolerable side effects or addictive tendencies. After more than twenty years of suffering, Tim tried cannabis as a medicine and found that it helped his pain and nausea tremendously and often times he could stop a serious migraine. Learning about its safe use for thousands of years to treat migraine and many other ailments, he was deeply disturbed that cannabis was made unlawful and desired to help others understand what he knew. Tim and his wife, Jenna, opened Remedy Compassion Center in 2011 to serve patients in Maine in a successful, highly regulated model program. Tim also serves on various American Herbal Products Association committees developing recommendations for regulators and actively supports ASA.

Readers Digest National Word Power Challenge
McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds
P.O. Box 5067
Wilmington, DE 19808
Word Power Challenge
is a vocabulary card game for ages 8 and up, consisting of three separate decks of cards, each one a different category of words. Over the Rainbow contains color related words, Speaking Out is designed to bring clarity, definition, and precision to your speech, and Lost in Space has spatial words.
Each deck of 64 cards has four sets of 16 different word cards. The object of the game is to collect books of all four matching cards by playing Go Fish. Each attractively designed card has the vocabulary word, a photo image, and four facts relating to the word: the definition including part of speech, the origin, synonyms, and a sentence using the word. However, each of the four cards for each word has a different fact at the top of the card. In collecting matching cards, you have to use the top fact to go fishing for other cards in the set.
My children really got into the game. The competitive factor of trying to get the most books made it fun and interesting. My youngest, a 7 year old, had trouble pronouncing some of the terms, but she was eager to keep up with her older siblings, and it was easy for the grown-up playing (that would be me) to help her out as needed. Each fact is preceded by a different colored bullet and that was helpful in directing her attention to where she needed to focus.
The rules say you cannot use the vocabulary word in fishing for the others; you must use the top fact. For example, you would say, Do you have the word that means to strike against forcefully and repeatedly? This certainly gets you to learn those facts, but one could feasibly play the game by just scanning ones cards for those clues without even connecting the vocabulary word you are supposed to be learning to the facts about that word.
To help overcome that, we decided, upon putting down a book, a player had to read out loud the word, its definition, and use it in an original sentence.
The vocabulary supplement booklet has all 48 vocabulary words with pronunciations, more detailed etymology and definitions, and the date of origin. I would have appreciated having the word pronunciation on the cards themselves.
As is the case with most card games, this would be a good addition to your travel activities collection. I also think it would be easy for creative minds to come up with other games to play with the cards. Memory or concentration is one example.

Best Product Ever
I started a cake decorating class and needed a mixer. I have seen these for years and used my sons and loved it. I have had it two weeks and have used it everyday. I love the color and my kitchen is done in greens and frogs and it looks so good with them. It cleans us so well, parts come off easy to clean. I would recommend this to everyone, it is so worth spending a little more and the quality is so worth it.
October 5, 2011
This has been the greatest mixer ever. My husband bought it for me 3 years ago and has had alot of use. Pink just makes it more enjoyable. I love pink.
September 19, 2011
Love the color
When I saw they came out with a pink one I just had to have it. When I used the online thing to see what stores had it ,well it didnt work. After going to 3 different bedbath and beyonds I finally got mine. Works great the only down fall is you have to keep scrapping the sides down and the screws rust and are hard to clean.

With the miniaturization of smartphones, PCs, GPS watches and other portable devices, every component and slot in the gadget must similarly reduce in size. Some of the most neglected and hard to redesign consist of component plug-in interfaces such as charging ports, USB ports and micro-SIM slots.
In light of this, Molex (News - Alert) Incorporated, a specialist in designing micro-SIM card sockets, has come up with a new and simple solution with its micro-SIM push-push card sockets, which are compact and deliver high contact with advanced retention mechanisms to counter accidental card ejection.
In line with the trend OF miniaturization, the sockets come equipped with additional and more effective functionalities, boasting anti-shorting and card polarization features that ensure protection of both the card and the data it contains. There is even a card-tray version that provides equal retention assurance while offering easy access of the card to the user.
Designers at Molex have also managed to reduce the size by an impressive 52 percent, which means the slot now measures 12x15mm from the predecessor Mini-SIM card's 15x25mm. Its height, however, varies according to the model you go for; available are the 1.35, 1.40 and 1.45mm models, which serve as a necessary flexibility for different gadget manufacturers in the market.
With its wide finger area on the shell, this Molex micro-SIM card socket is on a class of its own, as it does not need a tool to pry loose the card it holds. Additionally, extraction with bare hands is smooth, and the card will not accidentally fly off during insertion or extraction due to the restraining secure lock mechanism.
The holder has a higher contact normal force 0f 0.30 N for better linking of the SIM and gadget contact plates. This, coupled with its polarization feature, gives device mobile gadget designers the power to slim their designs without worrying about the versatility of their slots.
These halogen and lead-free micro-SIM card sockets come in standard six circuit and optional eight circuit models, both of which are ELV and RoHS certified. They definitely will live to "offer manufacturers flexibility and superior product performance," according to Molex's Product Manager, Doug Jones.

Paulinho: Has been linked with a move to Manchester City
Corinthians president Mario Gobbi says he has no intention of letting key players such as Paulinho and Paulo Guerrero leave in January despite reported interest from the Premier League.
Manchester City have been linked with midfielder Paulinho, while striker Guerrero is thought to be on the radar of Chelsea after scoring against them in the FIFA Club World Cup final.
Goalkeeper Cassio and forward Juan Manuel Martinez have also attracted interest from elsewhere after impressing for the Brazilian club.

After unsuccessfully trying to change the blown light bulb I discovered that the plastic light socket had gotten so hot that it melted and permanently fused with the blown bulb. After my new socket arrived in the mail I just popped the temp control assembly out with a screw driver and removed the old socket and placed the new one in. Whole operation to 5 minutes.

Unigine Betters Its Terrain Capabilities
Posted by Michael Larabel on September 08, 2010
While Unigine Corp has been busy finishing up their first in-house game,
, they haven't stopped work on further refining their upstream game engine. Unigine Corp has just reported on some of the most recent advancements to the Unigine Engine, which includes many enhancements and an updated terrain system.
The updated terrain system now has a built-in terrain editor (now integrated into the Unigine Editor) and supports height-map streaming, holes, texture splatting, tri-planar texturing, automatic texture streaming, and a maximum terrain size of 65536+1 x 65536+1. Unigine and its terrain capabilities would make a flight simulator (like
X-Plane 9
) look really interesting.
Aside from the Unigine terrain work, there's now time-based filtration of contacts in physics, safe multi-threaded collisions with terrain, support of texture atlas for particles, dropping of clip-map support, reduced memory consumption of UnigineScript, improved UnigineScript performance, support for physical ropes, and various other fixes.
While the OilRush game may not take too much advantage of this new terrain work since it's already at the end of development and is centered around an oil rig in the middle of an ocean, it will likely be of benefit to
Primal Carnage
game coming to Linux
) and other Unigine titles. We'll hopefully also see a new Unigine tech demo taking advantage of the latest engine advancements and its OpenGL 3/4 renderer in the not too distant future, even though
Unigine Heaven is already very impressive
demanding on your computer requirements
Meanwhile, Unigine OilRush
will have a native Linux client
and will be launched alongside the Windows version in the fourth quarter of this year. The new terrain details were shared on their
development log

Unique River Tour
Friday, June 15th, 2012By Rashmi Goyal
"The story of the Ganges, from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of India's civilization and culture, of the rise and fall of empires, of great and proud cities, of adventures of man."
Many tourists come to India seeking what they call 'the real India' . If you are at your hotel in Delhi, wondering where to get some authentic "real India", then a unique, mind blowing tour would be to head down the mighty Ganges river from its start to finish. The tour will also take you to major holy hotspots along its entire stretch – a unique tour itinerary.
The mighty Ganges River (Ganga) rises in the Himalayas and flows 2,510 km eastward through the vast plains to the Bay of Bengal. In Bangladesh, it is joined by the Brahmaputra River and Meghna rivers; and empties into the Bay of Bengal forming a delta 354 km wide, the largest in the world, shared by both countries.
In the Uttarakhand Himalayas, where glacial waters flow from a cave at Gaumukh, is the origin of the Ganga river at a height of 13,000 feet. The river reaches Gangotri, the first town on its path, 23 km from Gaumukh.
Thousands of visitors come to Gangotri annually, which is at 10,000 feet . Nearly four hundred thousand tourists visited the shrine in 2010. The shrine is dedicated to Goddess Ganga.
The river joins the Alaknanda river at Devaprayag, in the Uttarakhand Himalayas, to form the Ganges which then flows through Himalayan valleys to emerge at holy Haridwar. The Ganga is revered as the Goddess by a billion Hindus. The evening 'Aarti'(prayers) on its holy river banks has the entire riverside lit up with offerings of thousands of floating lamps accompanied by devotional singing and tinkling bells.
The Ganges then courses through Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Patna, and Kolkata. The Ganges drains an area of over a million sq km. The nearest point from your Delhi hotel to the sacred Ganges is at Haridwar just 250 km away.
The Yamuna originates less than 100 miles east of the Bhagirathi(Ganga), flows mostly parallel to it and merging with it at Allahabad, known as holy 'Triveni Sangam'. New Delhi and Agra are on the Yamuna river. So you can have a breather at your Delhi hotel before moving further down the Ganges heading straight from your hotel in Delhi to either Rishikesh or Haridwar. Ganga near Rishikesh is now a world famous locale for river rafting. The river rafting stretch of 36 Km between Kaudiyala and Rishikesh, has 12 major rapids.
Around 70 million Hindus gathered at the last Kumbh Mela (fair) on the Ganges riverbanks in Allahabad ! Below Allahabad the Ganges becomes a slow, meandering stream with shifting channels passing Mirzapur, Varanasi, Patna and Bhagalpur. Varanasi is the most holy place for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains alike. More than 1,000,000 pilgrims and tourists alike visit the city each year.

The practice nurse holds an immunisation clinic on Tuesday between 2pm and 3.45pm. The doctors at this practice fully support the giving of MMR vaccines and strongly advise that all children are immunised in accordance with local and national guidelines.
An appointment will be sent to you for your baby's six week check, which will be carried out by one of the doctors here in the surgery.
If you have a heart or lung problem, asthma, diabetes, a carer, or are in ill health, you are advised to have a flu injection every year. Clinics are held in October/November when vaccine becomes available.
Our practice nurses are able to advise on all health matters for foreign travel. Please ask for a travel form at least two months before your planned journey. Rabies and Japenese Encephalitis vaccination is not available under the NHS and a charge must therefore be made.
The doctors do undertake minor surgery procedures in surgery. Please ask at reception for further details.
A full range of family planning care and advice is available from all the doctors and nurses in the practice. Appointments can be made at reception.
Appointments for smear tests can be booked with our practice nurses or, if preferred, with one of the doctors. We operate a call and recall system and all our female patients between the age of 25 and 64 will be sent reminders to attend for this investigation.
We are pleased to see antenatal/postnatal patients. Our district midwife is also in attendance.
Well Person
For patients between the ages of 16 and 75 registered with the practice and have not had a consultation in the preceding 3 years, you can request a consultation and the doctor will provide appropriate services.
Over 75 Health Checks
If you are aged over 75, registered with the practice and have not had a consultation in the preceding 12 months, you can request a consultation and the doctor will carry this out in the most appropriate location.
Free NHS Health Check
This check is part of a new national scheme to help prevent the onset of health problems. Everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 who has not been diagnosed with the conditions mentioned below will be invited for a check once every five years. If you would like to make an appointment please contact the receptionist for more information.
If you are outside the age range and are concerned about your health you should contact your GP:
- heart disease
- type 2 diabetes
- kidney disease
- stroke
You can find all the information you need from the following Web address:
Our aim is to keep our patients fit and healthy. Prevention is far better than cure, and many serious conditions can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle. Appointments for the following health services can be made through the reception staff. Some of the services are also shared with Furness General Hospital or the wider health network. We operate a recall/reminder system.
For further details on any of our services please ask at reception.
Our surgery liaises closely with other health groups including Social Services Departments, Community Psychiatric and Psychology and Community Nurses for Learning Disabilities.
The NHS does not pay for some of the services we provide. These include private sick notes, insurance forms, holiday cancellation forms, medical reports, fitness to travel certificates, private prescriptions, passport signing and some vaccination services.
Our fees for these services, which are in line with BMA approved national guidelines, are displayed in the surgery.
These are available for insurance, HGV and pre-employment purposes. Please ask at reception for fees.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Travel Health Questionnaire
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the online form before coming to see the nurse.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in England. There are some 33,000 new cases every year. It kills more men and women than any other form of cancer.
Lung cancer affects people of all ages but is most common in those who are over 50.
Although it is more common in smokers, around one in eight people with lung cancer has never smoked. The risk of lung cancer gets worse as you get older, but finding it early improves the chances of successful treatment.
So if you have had a cough for three weeks or more, it's worth visiting your doctor to be on the safe side

[Kaitlin Sandeno] had to tell her three times, [Misty Hyman] said later, before it started to sink in: She had scored the biggest upset of the Olympic swimming competition, beating Australia's Susie O'Neill to win the gold medal in the women's 200-meter butterfly last night at the International Aquatic Centre.
Hyman, 21, a Stanford student from Mesa, Ariz., set the tone on a night the U.S. team silenced the fervent crowd at the swimming venue, also winning the gold to Australia's silver in the women's 800-meter relay. Jenny Thompson swam the U.S. relay's anchor leg to win the seventh Olympic gold medal of her career.
O'Neill challenged her on the third of the race's four 50-meter legs, but Hyman pulled back ahead and won going away, finishing in 2 minutes, 5.88 seconds, just off O'Neill's world mark of 2:05.81.

Alleged Craigslist thieves face felony charges
The suspects, Adam Quinney, 22, of Weare, Daniel Chesley, 23, of Conway, and Allen Downs, 27, of Weare were arrested in November following a police investigation and surveillance at a storage facility on Route 25/Whittier Highway in Moultonborough.
According to the indictments, Quinney, Chesley and Downs are charged with one count of conspiracy, two counts of theft by unauthorized taking, and one count of attempted theft by unauthorized taking, all felony level offenses.
The trio allegedly created an ad they posted on Craigslist, advertising a tractor and truck bed free for the taking at a location on Whittier Highway. They then arrived at the location and loaded the tractor onto a trailer. They also allegedly stole tools, Co2 tanks, copper and brass pipes, and electric motors with a total value of more than $1,500.
In a prior interview, Moultonborough Police Department Sgt. Peter Beebe said the arrests resulted from investigations into two separate thefts from the same storage area in late October, early November. He said they first posted the ad for the tractor on Craigslist then came and took the tractor. The ad was posted ostensibly to create an alibi, said Beebe.
When the men allegedly returned to the storage area on Friday, police had set up surveillance on the property and caught the men stealing a truck bed and other items. The tractor was recovered at a Tamworth salvage yard where it had been sold for scrap.
Arraignments on these and other new felony indictment cases will be held on March 13 at Carroll County Superior Court in Ossipee. The morning docket begins at 8:45 a.m.
