Sclerotherapy is one of the best ways to treat spider veins. Spider veins are those small yet unsightly clusters of red, blue or purple veins that most commonly appear on the thighs, calves and ankles. A number of factors contribute to the development of spider veins, including heredity, pregnancy, weight gain, and occupations that require prolonged sitting or standing.
Today, many doctors are treating spider veins with sclerotherapy. In this simple procedure, veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes the vein to collapse and fade from view. A typical sclerotherapy session is relatively quick, lasting anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. Sclerotherapy will be performed in a outpatient setting and requires no anesthesia. The needles used in Sclerotherapy are fine and the sclerosing solution is so mild that the pain is usually minimal. After each Sclerotherapy sessions the veins will seem lighter. Three or more sessions are usually recommended to achieve optimal results. Sclerotherapy may also help with the bothersome symptoms associated with spider veins, including burning, aching, night cramps, and swelling.
Sclerotherapy can enhance you appearance and confidence. Patients are pleased with the results they get with Sclerotherapy. The skin of your legs will look younger, clearer and healthier.

Have you ever noticed how, on a good skin day, your makeup seems to come together on its own? This was the case for Elizabeth Reaser, whose understated eye and lip allowed her complexion to shine through at the Los Angeles premiere of Breaking Dawn – Part 2. "For Elizabeth's look, I really wanted to creat beautiful, glowy skin with a little emphasis on the eyes," said her makeup artist Melanie Inglessis. Before applying foundation, Inglessis used a gentle exfoliating gel on the star to create a smooth canvas. "It really preps the skin perfectly," she said. Add a good facial scrub to your skincare routine to whisk away dead skin cells, which can dull your complexion. Just be sure not to exfoliate more than twice a week. Too much scrubbing strips your skin of its much-needed natural oils, and can result in irritation and breakouts. Moderation is key!

Michelin's Tweel for Skid Steers Changes Everything
By Larry Stewart - Wednesday May 22, 2013I've never made a point of getting a photo of myself with a piece of equipment like some autograph hound after a celebrity, but I found myself doing just that with Michelin's X-Tweel for skid steers . In 25 years of covering construction equipment, nothing this simple has ever impressed me with such a profound sense of impending paradigm shift. Demonstrations on Michelin's proving...
"Green" is all around us
By Tara Ninmann - Tuesday May 21, 2013Now that spring has finally sprung in the Midwest, a new energy is in the air. Everything is sprouting new life … trees, flowers and yes, even construction projects.

Take a look at these two local projects – both are located within an hour drive of our office...

Are You Compliant?
By Rebecca Wasieleski - Friday May 3, 2013One of the questions I often ask contractors is, "What keeps you up at night?" Over the years the answers have changed a little, but the core challenges that trouble many of the contractors I speak with are the economy, increasing profitability, finding and keeping good employees, maintaining a safe work site, and increased regulations. I suspect these issues are the most troubling for...

The Rental Show Highlights New Season of Growth
By Jenny Lescohier - Tuesday February 19, 2013I've been going to The Rental Show for 17 years. When I attended my first show -- 1996 in Anaheim, CA -- there was no such thing as United Rentals, the first wave of consolidation had yet to hit, and no one had even heard the phrase "Tier 4." It's hard for me to believe so many changes have happened and so much time has passed. Those of us who've been in the industry for many years have seen a...

NPE 2013: Strength More than Survival
By Allan Heydorn - Wednesday February 13, 2013It's been almost three weeks since National Pavement Expo 2013 ended in Nashville -- enough time to let the euphoric buzz pass and take a hard look at what at the time seemed a very good show. And after letting things settle a bit what I've realized is... NPE 2013 was every bit as strong as it seemed at the time. Attendance was up 43% over 2011 in Memphis and up nearly as much over 2010.

99.5% of patients would refer friends and family to us.
thank you
Dr. Scott Henricksen has given myself and my family wonderful dental care over the last 30 years. While no one might say they LOVE going to the dentist, and I DO get a little uptight about having my dental work done, the professionalism and results I get from Dr. Henricksen and his team really puts me at ease.
Excellent appointment very nice staff
I love Dr Henricksen and staff. I am afraid of dentist and this office makes me feel ok about my experience. I am so glad I found them. Kt
Nancy my dental hygienist is absolutely top notch . Wonderful teeth cleaning service with her gentle touch. A beautiful welcoming smile to boot. Dr Hendricksen is an eagle eye, spotting everything that needs to be done, but never pushy about selling me or referring me on for unnecessary work. Katie the frontline person is a 10 .
I always appreciate how prompt you get me in when I have trouble. Much apprciate. With the new tooth I feel much more "firm" than before. Allan
It's more like old home week when I visit than a dentist! Lovely staff and Dr. Henricksen is great. I have been going there for years.
Always an excellent, first class experience with Dr. Henricksen and his team.
As always it is excellent!
Happy with everything - Everyone has been very nice.
I mistakenly showed up on wrong date, early, from long drive from Issaquah, and another patient was so late they just accepted me in her place so I got my highly anticipated cleaning from my favorite hygenist. Dr. H also squeezed me in so my faulty crown could be scheduled in asap in next month. One of the two best dental offices I've ever been to, the other dentist retired unfortunately for all of his patients.
Nancy is thorough. Great clean teeth.

How to Clean Cow Leather:
Use a soft, dry cloth to dust all the surfaces of the leather item and remove surface dust and grime. If you are cleaning a sofa, use the hose attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove any trapped dust and debris from underneath the cushions and in the sofa's nooks and crannies. If your leather item has buttons, piping or other detailing, use a dry, soft toothbrush to dust them.
•l Fill a bucket or basin with warm water and a squirt of dish-washing soap. Saturate your cloth with the soapy water, then ring it out thoroughly so that the cloth is damp but not dripping
•l Wipe down all the surfaces of the leather item with the damp cloth. Be careful not to saturate the leather with water--you just want to dampen the surface. Replenish the cloth with soapy water often as you clean
•l Let the leather air dry, then examine it for stains and marks
Stain Removal
•l Apply a dab of dish-washing liquid to a damp cloth. Rub this directly into the mark or stain, applying gentle pressure. Wipe the soap off with a damp cloth, taking care not to saturate the leather. Allow it to air dry. If the stain remains, proceed to step 2•l Apply a small dab of toothpaste directly to the stain and rub it in with a damp cloth. Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe away the toothpaste. Allow the leather to air dry. If the stain remains, proceed to step 3
•l Use a non-acetone nail polish wipe to rub the stain, then allow the leather to air dry. If this does not work, take the item to a specialist leather cleaner
Mildew/Mold Removal
•l Mix one part rubbing alcohol with one part water in a spray bottle•l Lightly spritz the surface of the leather all over with the water-rubbing alcohol solution, but do not soak it. If you are refreshing a leather jacket, hang it from a coat hanger in a well-ventilated area while you spritz it
•l Wait for a few minutes, then wipe the mixture off the surface with a damp cloth. Allow the leather to air dry. This should remove any mildew or mold from the surface of the leather, and also remove any unpleasant odors

Disenrollment from AFROTC: Appeals
#1 Guest_kai_strife_*
Posted 24 May 2011 - 05:43 PM
Fast forward to last semester. Fall 2010, I unfortunately received my third conditional due to grades. We did the investigation for disenrollment, and it was anticipated by everyone that it would come back as probation. However, HQ looked my records, saw that I was still supposed to be graduating this semester (because a 22 package never was submitted), and so said that I had broken my contract. Because of this, they disenrolled me and called me to EAD upon graduation.
The cadre know they messed up and have pledged to do everything they can to correct this error. However, HQ said the only recourse I have is to appeal the disenrollment. I know that AFROTCI 36-2015 tells what to do to start a disenrollment appeal, but doesn't really give any help as to what to write and what to include.
I'm just looking for a starting point. Besides things like my Form 48 (signed every year), and a letter from my advisor confirming that I will be graduating Spring 2012, what else should I include? Thanks for any help in advance!

If your cadre "knows they messed up" and will do everything to help, I would think the CoC and the PAS should write letters for you, describing their actions and how their actions contributed mightily to the disenrollement. Without those letters, you likely haven't a chance.

I agree. All three of the cadre at the detachment at the time have promised to write letters on my behalf, outlining that this is their fault, not mine.
Posted 25 May 2011 - 01:39 PM
Ummmm....I understand your Det may have dorked the 22 package; but WTF is this all about? This was your third conditional due to grades? It's been a long time since I was in AFROTC, but even back in the old days this would have put you on very thin ice.
If I'm not mistaken, conditionals are still given when your GPS drops below 2.5, right? One would be somewhat understandable, two a little tougher to explain, but three?
Good luck with your effort to get reinstated, but don't go telling one that your cadre made all the mistakes when you've got three conditionals!
Posted 25 May 2011 - 03:30 PM
Agreed. Air Force numbers are cutting down and you only gave them fresh meat by getting 3 conditionals.

I would be fully inclined to agree with this statement if did not have two other cadets go up for the same reason and both come back with just probation. I will say that some blame does rest on my shoulders. If not for the D I earned in a class, HQ probably would have said "Oh, honest mistake. Extend him out." to the cadre, and that would've been it. But technically, the same thing could've happened even without the conditional, because the computers at HQ say I was supposed to have graduated this past semester. That's why I am considered to have "broken my contract". It wasn't caused my the conditional, just brought to light by it.
EDIT: Oh, and the conditionals were all for a D in one class. Calculus 2 and two high level computer science classes. Besides those, my academic record has been pretty good.

And don't get too comfortable with these Mulligans once you get on active duty. Hell, in today's world I am surprised you've been able to stay in the program with those strikes. The USAF is looking for ways to cut numbers across the board, and you're just giving them reasons to target you when you get a conditional.
I wish you all the luck, but you are somewhat responsible for your situation and it doesn't take too much these days to find yourself out on the street.

You have good reason to be skeptical.
When I joined, I was filling out the paperwork with one of the NCOs and it asked about drugs taken. I had previously had a prescription for a drug and took it a couple years later without a prescription. I asked if I needed to put it on there since I had a script at one point and she said "No, it's a prescription drug, so you should not list it". After Field Training, I put it on my SF-86 and nothing was ever said about it from ROTC. I even had an interview with someone from OPM and there was no problem there. My last semester before graduating, I did another SF-86 for TS and they went crazy over it and asked me why I didn't tell anyone before, yada yada. I explained it to them and they realized that I did list it and it just never came up.
They started doing the investigative process and the NCO who told me not to put it down stated in a memorandum that she matter of fact never told me that and that she would have told me to list it. Keep in mind that she had inprocessed a couple hundred cadets in the meantime (lie #1). I ended up getting all kinds of letters of recs from cadre, a Marine col I was working for for a volunteer organization, and even the former det CC. I was told by the IO (investigative officer) to have my rebuttal in by Friday. I was still waiting on one letter from someone and he told me I could turn the packet in on Monday. I turned it in Friday anyways just to be safe and on Monday I gave him the last letter. Fast forward to commissioning paperwork and they left the copy of my packet in the personal folder. I noticed the letter was not in there. Asked the IO about it and he said he remembered seeing it and that it must have just been missed when being copied. Next day sends me an email saying that I never turned it in and he remembers me asking about turning it in late. When I asked him in email about out conversation when he said he remembered the letter, he replied saying that if I had turned it in, there would have been a copy (lie #2). The packet I received from the FOIA request did not have the letter in it either.
Lie 3 is done by the CC himself. He told me he would waive it at his level if he could and that I'm a good cadet, should commission, and that he was going to give a favorable input on the packet. When doing commissioning paperwork, I saw his recommendation and it said, "Although I was unable to determine if he was told to not report this use during in-processing or not, he did not disclose his use on initial entry into the program", which is a contradiction in itself. He also recommended disenrolment because he did not expect that kind of behavior from a future officer. Fair enough, he can put down whatever opinion he wants, but when I went back to see him a month or so after I got kicked out, he told me he did everything he could to keep me in. I politely told him that I saw his recommendation and told him that I didn't think it was very supportive. He really didn't have much to say after that. That page of the packet is the only page that the cadet never gets to see. I wasn't supposed to see it unless I submit a FOIA request after.
They did lie, but the only one that I have a leg to stand on with is the missing letter from my rebuttal. I'm going to use that in order to present new evidence. I've saved all correspondence and scanned all letters with time-stamps, so I will include that.

I can see the CYA factor for the cadre involved, especially if there is no corroborating evidence they told him not to list it besides his word.

I fail to see how one letter missing is significant, the only thing I can see that you could have a leg would be the fact that you did previously list the medication on the initial SF-86 and they did nothing about it and then claimed you failed to reveal it.

The angle I worked for my rebuttal was that I did in fact have a waiver in place since I revealed it and they let me continue ROTC. I stated that the proper paperwork for the waiver was not processed.
The AF's position is that according to the rules, I should have never been in ROTC in the first place....fair enough, but I want a shot at another branch and I have been effectively blackballed from any officer program due to the "Definitely not recommended" box that was checked on the separation paperwork. Funny thing though, they didn't make me pay anything back and sent me an Honorable Discharge certificate after kicking me out for "fraudulently enlistment" because I "failed to maintain ROTC standards". I am only asking them to change the box to something that would allow me to seek a commission in another branch.

@ Spusmac: If you are trying to get the recommendation changed, I would say you have a better shot at that, than trying to get the AF to let you back in. Although I'm curious how you took a drug later without a prescription?

Bingo. I was a dumb ass about it though and took more than I was supposed to take. Didn't even feel anything though. Worst decision of my life.
I probably should have never even brought it up with ROTC. They told me Integrity meant something, at least till it comes time to CYA.

I never really thought I'd be sitting here at age 31 weighing 265 lbs. I was a pretty active youth, had my ups and downs with weight and then I had children. After a 9lb + baby and gestational diabetes I ballooned to 270... then baby 2 came along... Up and down again. It's been over 2 years since my youngest was born and I'm beginning to realize that it's not just the number 265 that bothers me. It's my lack of energy, my consistant hunger, and the way I feel in my own clothes.
Here's the kicker - I worked at a local Gym for 3 years. I was healthy, I was active, I know what I SHOULD eat and I know how to do it. I just haven't made myself a priority. I think this is common with mothers, and it's sad. So here I am in week 2 of my weightloss journey. I've already lost over 3 lbs last week and I'm starting to lose the cravings for the "bad stuff".
I also have a fully paid gym membership that I have not used for months.
So here are my goals.
BIG GOAL: LOSE 10lbs by Valentines day. that includes the 3 i've already lost... so that's about 2lbs a week!
#1 start using Lose it {I'm so very happy that I can use it on my MacBook since I don't have an Ipod or Iphone!
#2 Go to the gym 2x a week. Use the Wii Fit Plus 3 times a week. - getting out of the house is the hardest part for me and my membership does not include the children so they are not free in the childcare. I'll have to work around my husband's schedule to make this work but I'll do my best!
#3 continue to increase my vegetable intake and reduce my sugar more. - I'm working on finding a substitute I actually like for my coffee... I've tried stevia and many others but I just can't do it... I'm addicted to my Toffee Nut Syrup from Starbucks!
I'm so glad to be joining the community here on GSPN. I've been an avid listener for a long time and it's about time I actually got involved. I'm a busy mom, blogger and virtual assistant so I hope to check in a few times a week. Please feel free to give me a "shout" if you don't hear from me! Some times I need a swift kick to stay committed!
I attached my before picture. EEK
Thanks everyone!
Thanks for sharing and congrats pushing your goal of enhanced fitness and well-being to the top of your priority list. Considering your background working at a gym, I'm sure you've heard this before - but the more you can do to help yourself first, the more you'll have to give back to those who need you most. It took me a long time to learn this lesson, especially when my kids were younger. Balancing time for your exercise and making smart nutritional choices can be very difficult when you also have to manage a family, especially with young kids. This I know from first hand experience...
...but trust me on this, there will be a day (and perhaps you've already been there) when you'll say "I've had enough, my well-being comes first" - and everything will shift. It's amazing how this works - when you make a true declaration from the heart to the universe, everything you'll require will align in-place - but this is just an open door. You still have to walk through it, which means you still have to do the work and have patience for the results to arrive, but they always do.
So what are you waiting for? If you really want it - create it!
Let us know how we can help and thanks for joining the group.
You can do it. I understand the struggles. I can tell you take one day at a time, and be sensible. I look forward to following your progress!!! I can't wait to hear that you achieved your goals. I know you will.
Welcome! You are definitely on the right track here. We hear it on The Biggest Loser and so many other places now, that you have to take care of yourself if you really want to care for other people. Otherwise it's just diminishing returns.
As far as working out at home goes, how do you feel about exercise DVDs? They are cheap, $10-15 apiece for the most part, unless you want to invest (as I did) in a set like P90X from beachbody.com, which are still in that price range but it's a set of 12 DVDs. ;-) Anyway, I started with three Jillian Michaels DVDs, and my wife likes the Tae Bo ones. There's a lot of variety out there, and for people who don't have time for the gym or would prefer to work out at home, you can still get in great shape. My sister also likes DVDs from Beachbody, but she says it's a challenge keeping her little guy off the exercise floor.
Have you checked out the stevia "products" like Truvia? I know some people are suspicious of them, but I use both stevia and Truvia (depending on my mood) so hopefully it's better than the artificial sweeteners. Trueleaf brand is also real stevia, not a derivative or blend, and it was developed by the guy who brought stevia to the U.S. It's supposed to be the gold standard.
See you at your next check-in (scheduled, I hope!).
Thank you everyone for your encouraging words! I'll have to get better at popping in here every few days so I'm on top of all of the great conversation!
First think... in my original message I said that I'm starting at 265 when in reality - I was 267... that is after losing 3 lbs... So officially I can say that I've lost 5 lbs over the last 2 weeks!!
I have stayed on track completly over the last 2 weeks. Using LoseIt is a life saver!
I am starting to get bored with what I'm eating and I really need to find more options! I'd love to hear some of your suggestions for snacks, that's where I'm struggling, especially while I'm working. (I work from home at a VA-- long hours at my desk with no M&M's anymore!)
My goal was to lose 10lbs by Valentines Day and I'm 1/2 way there! This week I hope to get to the gym 2 times! I'm also hoping to add in my WiiFit to the mix. This week we also start going to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University so it's a big week here! I hope everyone has had a successful week! I'm off to go read updates!! Have a great week!
Yay, you came back! :-) As far as sitting at your desk is concerned, I heard a good suggestion, which I am trying to do more often: For every hour that you sit at your desk, get up and do one minute of INTENSE activity. Jumping jacks, running in place as fast as you can, something like that. It will wake you up, for sure, and it's supposed to boost your metabolism for a while, too. At the office I have to sneak off to the conference room to do this, and so far I try to go once in the morning and again mid-afternoon.
For healthy snacks, I would suggest hummus and veggies, some nuts, even a bowl of vegetable soup might work. If you like protein, like I do, how about a hard-boiled egg, some almond butter, an ounce of cheese, again with veggies to bulk out your carefully measured serving size. ;-)
Keep up the good work!
Hi everyone - I'm checking in. I REALLY should have checked in last week because this week has been BAD! I'm not sure when it started but I've just been so HUNGRY!
One thing I know I've stopped doing is drinking my GREEN smoothie in the mornings. Some mornings I've been so hungry after eating a bowl of Cheerios, so then I go scramble up 3 eggs (usually 2 egg whites and one egg) ... then I 'm hungry again, so I grab a granola bar... by this time I've had 2 cups of coffee too. Later in the day I grab a somewhat healthy lunch - then I'm hungry, need a snack... grab 2 fig Newtons... then some Pirates Booty (you know the stuff - delish!) ... then dinner...then snacks...
What the heck. I'm very dissapointed in myself but I know I can get back on track! This weekend is Valentines day I have not met my goal of losing 10 lbs. This Sunday we are celebrating V-day and we'll be at Church for a dessert banquet... ( yes, I will be enjoying some dessert - guilt free!)
My plan is to go to they gym tomorrow, get in a good work out - maybe even fit in a work out Sunday afternoon before we go.
I'm rambling, sorry - I think I've figured out that I need to stick to (for now) a routine for my meals. I need to keep having my smoothies. I need to have healthy snacks available every day (nuts, fruit and cheese plates pre-made) Although I'm disappointed I know I can get back on track. I'll try to be sure to check in weekly, as I think that really helps me.
Sorry for the long ramble with many run-on sentences... had to be quick today!
I'm just glad that you took the time to share, even during a bad week. It's posts like these, that keep me asking myself, where did I got wrong. This helps me to look out for those issues in the days and weeks ahead.
Love the idea of pre-made anything! Planning ahead REALLY HELPS!

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Republicans celebrated huge wins on election night, including the increase of GOP majorities in the state House and Senate to historic levels, but GOP leaders acknowledge the unprecedented growth will pose challenges for those who must now wrangle with a broader range of conservative ideology.
Republicans had a net gain of four seats in the Senate for a 36-12 advantage and three seats in the House for a new 72-29 margin — both the largest advantages ever for Republicans in the Legislature.
But the increasing majorities bring an infusion of new, far-right members of the Legislature who will stretch the conservative ideology and make it more challenging for House and Senate leaders and GOP Gov. Mary Fallin to reach a consensus within the chambers' Republican caucuses.
"When you have that many members, herding the cats so to speak is a big job, and it takes someone with tremendous leadership abilities to pull it off," Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Matt Pinnell said. "But that doesn't factor into my calculations. I want to win and win everywhere, and will continue to do that as long as I'm chairman.
"It's that much more important to pick good leadership in the state House and Senate, and I think we have some of the best in (Senate President Pro Tem) Brian Bingman and (incoming House Speaker) T.W. Shannon."
Bingman and Shannon both downplayed any notion of a growing rift within the party, but the challenges Shannon's predecessor, outgoing House Speaker Kris Steele, faced within his own caucus were well-documented.
Steele was criticized by some of the more conservative House members at the start of his two years as speaker in 2010 when he suggested lawmakers should put the state's struggling economy and budget hole at the top of their agenda over such issues as immigration, gun rights and abortion. Steele also failed to pull the caucus together at the end of the session for an agreement on a plan to cut the state's income tax — a top priority of Fallin's at the start of the session.
But Shannon, R-Lawton, was able to win a close election to become the next House speaker because of the support of the right wing of the caucus, and he continued to say Wednesday that he embraces the diversity of the Republicans in the House.
"I think it's the most diverse caucus in the history of the state, and I think that's a good thing," Shannon said. "We're going to have diverse opinions and healthy discussions and debate, and I think at the end of the day we'll be able to work together."
Fallin also welcomed the addition of new Republicans to the House and Senate and said her agenda of improving the state's business climate, making government more efficient and reducing taxes won't change.
"It's all about bringing people together for a vision, building a consensus and moving an agenda forward," Fallin said. "That's what I'll continue to do, no matter how many Republicans we have."
But some House conservatives said they plan to keep pushing back against the current budgeting process and other policies endorsed by leadership, including the issuing of bonds to pay for infrastructure improvements.
"Bonding is constitutional, but it has to go to a vote of the people," said Rep. Mike Ritze, a Broken Arrow Republican and self-described "constitutional conservative" who is among a growing number of Republican House members opposed to bond issues. "If we (allow) bonds without it going to a vote of the people, then I'm against it."
Ritze and Rep. Mike Reynolds, an Oklahoma City Republican and frequent critic of leaders within his own party, have filed a lawsuit claiming a $2.5 million state appropriation for a youth livestock expo was unconstitutional.
"I have nothing against the youth expo," Ritze said. "But you cannot use public funds for private use. That's why we filed the lawsuit — to try and rein in some of the spending."
Capitol observers like former Republican state Rep. Thad Balkman, now a lobbyist for the Oklahoma Lawyers' Association, said it's clear the growing pains of the Republican Party will provide a challenge to GOP leaders.
"There's a struggle going on with Republicans who are used to being in the minority versus those who understand they've got to govern now," Balkman said. "Therefore, governing implies that you do have to build coalitions, that you might have to compromise, and I think that's not necessarily embraced by everyone in the Republican caucus in the House and Senate.
"I think as Republican majorities increase, you're creating a larger tent inside the Republican Party, and I suspect that creates management issues for the Republican leadership, as we've seen in the House in previous years."

At a hastily arranged press conference Friday night at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel in East Elmhurst, Queens, the union leaders said nothing substantive had changed and that the utility was acting "irresponsibly."
Read New Yorkers' thoughts on the contract negotiations and how the dispute should be resolved.
Employees said the utility was not bargaining in good faith.
"The union went in here with an open mind, hoping we could resolve this issue and move forward," said Paul Albano with UWUA Local 1-2. "The word that I got was that management didn't want to budge on any of the stuff. They were standing fast and not moving an inch on anything."
"As long as the talks are going on, that's a good thing but we reserve all details to the bargaining table," said Michael Clendenin of Con Edison. "We want both sides to come to a mutual agreement."
The utility said it offered a two-week extension of the old contract but was turned down.
The contract talks, which are expected to last through the weekend, come as air conditioners continue to put a strain on the power grid.
Con Ed has reduced voltage by 5 percent in more than a dozen Brooklyn neighborhoods and 11 neighborhoods in the southeast Bronx.

The British government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s covertly supplied military equipment to Saddam Hussein's Iraq, according to once secret files being made public Friday.
The Financial Times said the files "contain an exhaustive list of equipment" that included Hawk fighter jets, Land Rovers, radar and spare tank parts.
Britain was officially neutral in Iraq's war with Iran, which began in 1980, and the Times noted it had also backed a U.N. resolution calling on its members to "refrain from any act which may lead to a further escalation and widening of the conflict".
Britain later joined the U.S. in fighting Iraq when it invaded Kuwait in 1990.

Web Survey Bibliography
Relevance & Research Question: Open-ended questions are often used to gather short numeric information in self-administered web questionnaires. Respondents are encouraged to enter numbers, quantities or frequencies into input fields, most often without any computerized formatting constraints predominantly in order to prevent item nonresponse. However, the absence of any formatting restrictions encourages large variances in answers deviating from the desired format, including value ranges, estimations, alphanumeric supplements, or even different measuring units which affect data quality negatively, and increase the efforts for data cleansing and preparation. Thus, concise and clear formatting instructions are needed to guide respondents providing answers in the desired format. Considering the fact that instructions are likely to be ignored the question arises how different modes of verbal instructions and visual cues can be applied to improve the impact of formatting instructions, and finally to enhance data quality.
Methods & Data: In a between-subjects field experiment conducted among university freshman students in an opt-in panel (N=670), we tested different visual modes of formatting instructions in open-ended numeric questions: (1) conventional instruction in a static manner, (2) dynamic instruction in a tooltip appearing when the mouse cursor hovers over the input field, and (3) symbolic instruction in terms of pre-defined default values in the input field indicating the desired response format. The effectiveness of each instruction mode was determined by the proportion of formally correct answers.
Results: Findings indicated that the implementation of dynamic formatting elements in terms of tooltips or default values had no positive effect on an improvement of response quality compared to conventional static formatting instructions. Even a combination of tooltips and pre-filled symbols could not achieve a significant increase in correctly formatted answers compared to the sole presentation of a fixed instruction.
Added Value: The results indicated that static formatting instructions should not be replaced hastily without examining the effect of dynamic elements sufficiently. However, initial findings suggested the potential of dynamic formatting instructions in enhancing the positive effect of conventional instructions.

this daily chart shows the completion of wave 5.
so daily signal of eur/usd is also changed to sell.
weekly chart where projected price level for 50% retracement is shown as completion of wave 4.
this retracement is same as weekly chart i posted earlier.
weekly chart for new price projection. this can take 4+ months to reach tp-2.
where wave 4 has been completed and wave 5 has been started.
Nice analysis.

The source images in Ruff's "nudes" series were culled from the sea of pornography that floods the Internet. The artist, who often works with appropriated imagery, downloaded the pictures and manipulated them on his computer, intensifying colors, blurring outlines, and greatly enlarging the scale. At once visually ravishing and provocatively blunt, the photographs address the collapse between public and private in contemporary culture as well as the tradition of voyeuristic delectation inspired by the many pictures of female flesh hanging in this or any other art museum.

Plenty at stake - as always - for Army, Navy
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Army's Jarrett Mackey hears the same order each day he walks around the barracks at West Point.
Beat Navy and bring home the coveted Commander-in-Chief's Trophy.
"Every single time I pass them, it's, 'Army-Navy. CIC. Let's go,'" Mackey said. "I wouldn't say it puts more pressure on us, but it's time. Let's do this. We almost need to do it. We've got to get out there and get the win. It's been way too long."
Try 11 years.
The Army-Navy series is not only the most patriotic rivalry in sports, it's turned into one of the most one-sided. Navy has won 10 straight, doubling the previous winning streak of either team in a series that stretches back to 1890. It only seems like the Black Knights haven't won in 122 years. Army last beat Navy in 2001 at Veterans Stadium. The Vet has since been toppled.
So has Army's all-time lead in the series.
Mackey, a junior defensive end, wants so badly to be part of the class that ends the Middies' dominance. That alone, is incentive enough. But for the first time in nearly two decades, there is more on the line than just bragging rights.
Winning this game usually makes a season, but this one would mean more than most. The winner Saturday leaves Lincoln Financial Field with the Commander-in-Chief's trophy, awarded to the team with the best record in games among the three service academies. Army and Navy each defeated Air Force, putting the prestigious trophy up for grabs in the regular-season finale for the first time since 2005. Army (2-9) hasn't hoisted the CIC trophy since 1996. Navy (7-4) won it a school-record seven straight seasons through 2009 before giving way Air Force the last two seasons.
"We didn't win much, but we won just enough to bring a little extra drama to this game," Army coach Rich Ellerson said. "From the moment these guys got to West Point, every building and everybody's front door says, 'Beat Navy' and 'Beat Air Force.' There is so much on the table for them." Continued...
Billed as "America's Game," the Linc will be stuffed with Cadets and Midshipmen standing, bouncing and cheering the entire game. Beating Army has become an annual tradition for Navy. None of the Mids want to be associated with a team that ended the streak.
"They're getting closer and closer," Navy linebacker Brye French said. "The 10 wins have been awesome. But this year is even bigger than all those because it actually means something with the CIC."
Navy's 27-21 win last season was the tightest margin since the winning streak started. The Mids won by a combined 74-3 score in 2007-08 and four times over the last decade the Black Knights failed to score more than six points. Army lost its 49-46-7 series lead during this decade of football futility.
The Black Knights did beat Air Force 30-22 on Oct. 27 to at least squeeze their way into the rare position of playing for the trophy. That ended Army's 13-game losing streak in service academy games.
"I think beating Air Force brings just a little bit extra to the equation," Ellerson said. "We've had a tough year but that gives us some confidence you might not otherwise see because of that win and that common opponent."
Navy beat Air Force 28-21 in overtime in early October to steer toward the trophy for a record 13th time.
"I think we're both grateful we have an opportunity to play for it," Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said.
There's more football left for Navy after Saturday's tradition-filled spectacle. The Mids play Arizona State in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 29 in San Francisco.
Yes, the outcome and the trophy are important for each side, but this is a game about more than the final score. The run-heavy contests are rarely a treat to watch. But the Brigade of Midshipmen and Corps of Cadets marching into Lincoln Financial Field — complete with a military flyover — are the moments that make this game one to savor.
"Playing football is the best part of our day," Army QB Trent Steelman said. "It's a struggle for a lot of other teams across the nation. It's our time to get away from everything else that's going on in life." Continued...
For Navy, that escape comes in a tough time for the program. The Midshipmen have been worried daily over the health of third-string quarterback Ralph Montalvo. Montalvo was in a medically-induced coma after he was critically injured in a car accident near his home last on Thanksgiving night.
His family posts updates at caringbridge.org/visit/rafimontalvo/journal. On Thursday, the journal read, "He stuck his tongue out at us when asked to do so on several occasions. We continue to pray that he will wake soon."
Montalvo was scheduled to travel to Philadelphia and dress for the Army-Navy game before the accident. The Mids will show support for Montalvo by wearing a sticker that says "Rafi" on the back of their helmets.
"The parents are wonderful people and they're hanging in there," Niumatalolo said. "He's a typical academy kid, just a wonderful young man, wonderful American."
Schedule of Events for Saturday's Game:
This year's Army-Navy Game presented by USAA marks the 113th edition of the interservice rivalry, and the 84th game to be played on Philadelphia soil.
