Finding A Good Hosting Company
It can be insanely difficult to find a good hosting company that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Not too long ago, I wrote a review of all the hosting companies I went through before I found one that was really worth my money.
I've learned several things about what's needed in a good host and if you want to take the short route and find a good host without having to go through five or six, here are some tips for you.
Technology Support
In this day and age, you'd think host would be able to support the simplest of things. However, I've run into several hosts that couldn't even handle setting up a simple instal of WordPress. And don't even think about using htaccess on some of these either. Do a comprehensive check on the host, and if possible, talk to some people who use the same package. Do they support the latest technologies? Do they run the latest version of PHP? Are you allowed to configure the backend and even add scripts on? What about the database? Can it handle a load. These items are the most important things to consider when finding a host.
Space, Transfer and Speed
The cool thing for cheap advertising companies to do nowadays is to offer "unlimited space" and "unlimited bandwidth". Let me tell you something though – NOTHING is every truly unlimited. Yes, you may be able to store all 100 TB of photos and movies on your server, but what happens when you try to navigate the site? What happens when the neighbor on your shared server decides to take up all the space? His actions (or yours) might end up crashing the whole server and causing you to lose potential business.
It's fine to use these companies, just be aware you're taking a gamble. I much rather have my host give each person a specific limit to the amount of space and bandwidth the can use, that way there's less chance to crash the server.
Also, watch how quickly your site loads on each server. At one time, one of my sites took over 20 seconds to load on GoDaddy, 4 seconds on Bluehost, and 1 second on ZeHosting. Who do you think I ended up with?
Pricing varies widely on hosts, especially for shared accounts. I've seen shared hosting cost anywhere from $3/month to $50/month. More expensive isn't always better though, so don't pick a server based on price alone. I try to aim for a price in the middle, as $3 hosts most likely have terrible service and $50 hosts are likely to be overpriced and offer no additional features than say, a $10/month host.
No matter how awesome the hosting company is, it's inevitable that you'll need to speak to support at one point or another. So before you decide what host to go with, try out their support section. How long does it take them to get back to you? Are they friendly? Knowledgeable?
I've used ZeHosting's support at least a hundred times – everything for downtime (happened only once!), to customizing my email server, to installing custom PHP scripts, to basically customizing anything I needed to run all of the apps I have. They're awesome, I can get ahold of them almost immediately any time of the day or even on weekends.

Grampy's Magic Inspiring Story
Posted by Grampys Magic in General
Hello All....
I'm a GrandPa with 10 grand children, hence the name.....
I've always been fascinated by magic since I was 5 years old, when I saw my first show at a VFW hall in Kalamazoo, Mich. Growing up I read every book I could find on the subject. Around 10 years old or so I discovered Harry Houdini and he became my hero. Again I read everything I could find on him and his magic. I did my first public performance at age 12 for a senior citizens club my dad used to deliver bakery goods to. My next performance, along with a few friends was for our 8th grade talent show at school.

Seven Earn Scholastic All-America Honor
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Seven West Virginia University gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans for the 2011-12 academic year, as announced today by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W).
Ninety-four WVU gymnasts have been recognized since 1987.
"It's always wonderful when student-athletes are recognized for their efforts in the classroom," says second-year coach Jason Butts. "These gymnasts are students first, and academic success is very important to me and my staff. We will continue to work hard in the classroom, and I look forward to the day when the whole team is honored on this list."
Four Mountaineers earned their second career honors: graduate Nicole Roach (child development and family studies), juniors Hope Sloanhoffer (exercise physiology) and Bethany Yurko (design studies), and student assistant coach Marina Galante (sport and exercise psychology). Galante was one of 60 student-athletes, across all three divisions, to earn the honor with a 4.0 GPA; she also achieved the feat in 2011.
Senior Chelsea Goldschrafe (marketing), and sophomores Parker Beattie (sport and exercise psychology) and Reilly Beattie (sport and exercise psychology) earned their first career honors.
Scholastic All-America status is awarded as a result of GPAs of 3.5 or better for the year. In total, 471 student-athletes earned the honor for the 2011-12 academic year.
The NACGC/W is the national association for women's collegiate gymnastics coaches. The association seeks to actively manage and develop the sport of women's gymnastics at the collegiate level and works with the NCAA and USA Gymnastics in order to provide the best possible experience for student-athletes.

As one who continually wishes to replace the missing letter I in TO LET signs, I find the festive season particularly exasperating from a copywriter's perspective.
I reckon every year for the past three decades at least one blue-chip company has placed an ad in The Grocer with the headline Christmas Presence. (A survey once showed that the majority of readers took this 'literally', even when they noticed the apparent misspelling.)
Another old chestnut is Season's Eatings – turned into a cliché by a bevy of food and confectionery brands.
Failing that, it'll be Get Your Stockin – surely penned in-house, and without which no Christmas trade campaign would be complete.
Then there's the ubiquitous offer, the Christmas Cracker – I even got one of these dreaded little ditties from Hertz while writing this post.
Our brain opts for simple explanations. If it sees something it vaguely recognises, it makes its mind up there and then. It doesn't waste grey cells trying to figure out clever meanings.
John Caples, the pioneer of Scientific Advertising, determined that, for every 'curiosity' headline that works, a dozen will fail.
Oh – and, yes – on a loosely related note, there is an angling magazine called Total Carp. (Though it can't be easy to advertise.)

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has adopted a final rule that creates a new certification procedure for foreign boards of trade (FBOTs) seeking to offer "broad-based" security index futures or options contracts (Index Products) to persons in the U.S. FBOTs are currently required to obtain no-action relief from CFTC staff prior to offering an Index Product to U.S. persons. The new procedure replaces the current no-action letter process and provides for expedited review, allowing an FBOT that is registered as such with the CFTC or that has previously received no-action relief from the CFTC – either for stock index products or allowing the FBOT to offer direct access to its electronic trading systems – to offer and sell an Index Product in the U.S. 45 days after submitting a request to the CFTC with respect to such product, absent notification from the CFTC to the contrary. The final rule also permits an FBOT to offer new Index Products after an expedited 15-day review period in reliance upon prior CFTC relief issued to that FBOT where the new Index Product is based on the same index that was the subject of such prior relief and is "substantially identical" to the Index Product covered by such prior relief...

Fellowship Program
Fellowship Program
Our department offers fellowships in Laryngology, Advanced Head and Neck Surgery, and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Laryngology Fellowship
Two fellowship opportunities are available each year in Laryngology. The UCLA Laryngology Fellowship is a comprehensive program designed to cover the entire breadth of experience in voice, swallowing, and airway disorders as outlined below:
Voice Disorders: assessment techniques (in-office flexible and rigid laryngoscopy, laryngo-video-stroboscopy, acoustic analysis, aerodynamic analysis, laryngeal electromyography, laryngeal imaging); office-based procedures (lafryngeal biopsy, laryngeal injection, pulse-dye-laser therapy); treatment of non-neoplastic diseases (microlaryngeal surgery, phonosurgery, endoscopic and open surgery); neoplastic diseases of the larynx (endoscopic laser laryngeal surgery, open partial laryngeal surgery, subtotal and total laryngectomy); neurolaryngology (injection laryngoplasty, framework surgery including thyroplasties and arytenoid adduction, laryngeal reinnervation for unilateral and bilateral vocal fold paralysis, Botox® therapy, selective adductor denervation reinnervation surgery for spasmodic dysphonia); management of the post-laryngectomy voice; and care of the professional voice patient.
Swallowing Disorders: assessment techniques (fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, trans-nasal esophagoscopy, video fluoroscopy, pharyngeal and esophageal imaging); medical and surgical treatment of swallowing disorders (swallow therapy, laser and open treatment of cricopharyngeal dysfunction and Zenker's diverticulum, hypopharyngoplasty, management of esophageal strictures, esophageal biopsy and injection); in-office procedures (esophageal dilation, injection laryngoplasty); and swallow rehabilitation.
Airway Disorders: assessment techniques (office bronchoscopy, tracheal imaging); treatment of airway stenosis (endoscopic laser and dilation, fiber-based laser techniques, tracheal resection, cricotracheal resection, laryngotracheoplasty, and tracheal stents).
Educational Approach
The fellow in Laryngology is expected to develop comprehensive experience and superb skills in all clinical areas in laryngology via direct involvement in patient evaluation and management in the clinics and the operating room. A fully equipped videostroboscopic suite is provided to the fellow to gain experience in patient assessment techniques. A computer-equipped working area is also provided for self-directed learning. The fellow will work alongside fellowship directors, voice scientists, speech pathologists, and other related subspecialists, and play an active role in the team management of patients with voice, airway, and swallowing disorders. The fellow functions at the level of a clinical instructor and will assume the role of supervising surgeon to the otolaryngology residents. There are also ample opportunities for interactions with researchers in the laryngeal laboratories (Laryngeal Physiology Laboratory, Laryngeal Dynamics Laboratory, and the Voice Perception Laboratory), to develop an in-depth understanding of laryngeal physiology, to guide the fellow's futures clinical and research endeavors, and to develop clinical and basic science research projects.
Application Information
Applicants must be physicians who have completed an accredited otolaryngology - head and neck surgery residency in the United States. A two-year fellowship is recommended to master all aspects of laryngology for those on track to become an academic laryngologist, but one-year fellowships are also accommodated. Applications should be submitted at least 1 year prior to the July 1st start date; however, due to the highly competitive nature of the fellowship, interested applicants should initiate contact at least 2 years prior to the start date. A California medical license is required.

Telephone: (310) 825-5179
Advanced Head and Neck Surgery Fellowship
The Department of Head and Neck Surgery at UCLA has a long standing, well-earned reputation for excellence in patient care and training future leaders in Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery. In addition to its competitive residency program, the Department offers an Advanced Head and Neck Surgery fellowship, under the co-directions of Dr. Elliot Abemayor and Dr. Keith Blackwell. This is a one-year program structured to enhance surgical skills obtained during head and neck residency as well as to teach the necessary elements of being a key member of a multidisciplinary head and neck cancer team. The program is geared to physicians who want to work in academic centers where modern head and neck procedures are performed. During the fellowship, emphasis is placed on learning current methods of conservation laryngeal surgery, anterior and lateral skull base surgery, and complex ablative procedures requiring free flap reconstruction. In addition, there is plentiful experience with advanced endocrine surgical procedures, as well as the opportunity to first-assist in microvascular flap reconstructions. The fellowship year provides ample opportunities to participate in clinical research projects.
Applicants must have completed an ABO-approved Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery residency and should apply one year prior to the July 1st start date. In addition to a current curriculum vita, at least two letters of recommendation are needed.

Fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship is a one-year training program, established in 1998 and certified by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It offers a broad exposure to both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery for graduates of an accredited head and neck residency. During the course of the year, the fellow participates in approximately 300 facial aesthetic surgeries, 80 major head and neck microvascular reconstructions, and 80 Mohs reconstructions. The fellow has opportunities to work with experts in dermatology and oculoplastics depending on his or her interest. Scientific research opportunities are abundant as is writing for publication. Teaching opportunities with the residents both inside and outside the operating room are encouraged throughout the year.
Generally, independence increases as the year progresses. Typically, the fellow is at UCLA from Monday to Wednesday and involved with major head and neck reconstruction, Mohs reconstruction, and some aesthetic surgery. On Thursday and Friday the fellow is in Santa Barbara focusing on aesthetic surgery. The fellow has the opportunity in the latter portion of the year to staff cases for the residents at the affiliated UCLA hospitals and the VA. In addition, the fellow does an increasing number of his or her own aesthetic cases in the latter half of the year.
The goals of the program are to develop a surgeon capable and confident in the decision-making, planning, surgical management, and follow-up of a wide variety of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery patients. In addition, the fellow must complete a research paper to be presented at the AAFPRS meeting, and complete the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship exam at the end of the fellowship year.
Applicant Information
Interested applicants must have completed a head and neck surgery residency and should apply through AAFPRS (American Association of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery) 18 months in advance of the July 1st start date.

(PRWEB) February 10, 2010
Ken's Yard, a new nationwide building supplies website selling over 30,000 well known branded products on-line has now gone live.
Behind Ken's Yard are three experienced and respected traders in timber and building products, Charles McLeish, Joe McConville - previous owners of MGM Timber, and Ken McLelland - former Regional Director of Buildbase (see notes to editors). The board has been strengthened further by the addition of Charles Shaw, Chairman of the hugely successful 5pm.co.uk and former Chief Executive of Invergordon Distillers plc and Andrew Sutherland former UK Financial Controller and Company Secretary of Keyline Builders Merchants.
Aimed at the 'serial' project builder, self-builder and small building contractor in the UK and beyond, Ken's Yard now provides the most comprehensive and competitive range of building supplies (http://www.kensyard.co.uk/ ) currently available on-line. These are supported by easily accessible advice from some of the supply industry's most experienced, knowledgeable and professional experts.
Ken's Yard is now part of the vanguard of suppliers changing the way building supplies are purchased and brings several 'firsts' to the market:
A unique building estimates (http://www.kensyard.co.uk/estimating/) service for extensions, refurbishments and new-build projects. This provides a massive timesaving for building professionals and enables them to get jobs costed quickly and accurately. This will initially be offered free as a launch 'special' to customers who spend £500 or more.
Ken McLelland said, "Ken's Yard enables building professionals to reduce procurement costs by taking full advantage of the reach and power of the internet without compromising quality or choice of products. When we looked closely at the e-commerce operators in the repairs, maintenance and improvements market (RMI) the gap we saw was to combine the credibility associated with a specialist site with the wider appeal of the generalist site. We have positioned Ken's Yard to appeal to the professional who now sees the benefits of e-commerce while being accessible to the competent project builder who is quite comfortable researching and sourcing on-line.
"We understand what the building professional needs and are already receiving very positive feedback about Ken's Yard's straightforward and refreshing approach to doing business."
Notes to Editors
About Kens Yard (http://www.kensyard.co.uk/ ):
Ken's Yard is an independent on-line building products company founded after extensive research by an experienced team who care about service. Not just another small products outlet, Ken's Yard offers a range of building products not found elsewhere. Costs have been kept low, to enable the company to be consistently competitive to its market of Professional, Project-Builder and Self-Build customers.
Ken's Yard has teamed up with a number of the industry's best-known manufacturers of high quality brands and suppliers of professional products. Using the latest e-commerce technology it is able to provide a genuine alternative to more traditional and less efficient methods of purchasing construction products.

The Bachelorette
Bachelorette Jillian Harris's Show Coming to America!
We love former Bachelorette Jillian Harris like fat kids love a proverbial cake. And so we couldn't be more pleased to announce that her hiatus from American television will come to an abrupt and welcome end tonight. TONIGHT. Can you believe it? (Throws confetti in a whimsical dramatic gesture.)
Although our neighbors to the North have gotten to see her purty face on Canada's W TV for the last couple months, Love It or List It Vancouver has previously been as hard to pin down as Brad Womack at a wedding chapel.
Lucky for all of us, Jilly tweeted today, "Hi my American cuties! I'm so pumped that our show #loveitorlistittoo is premiering tonight on @hgtv at 11pm!!! Whoooott! Who's tuning in?" Um, us. That would be us, Jillian. We can't wait for her to make our world prettier!
And bonus: It's on an hour after The Bachelor so we won't have to miss even a moment of our paper bag-breathing exercises as we recover from Women Tell All.

The seated v-bar cable row is a exercise machine exercise that primarily targets the middle back and to a lesser degree also targets the biceps and lats.
The only seated v-bar cable row equipment that you really need is the following: cable machine. There are however many different seated v-bar cable row variations that you can try out that may require different types of seated v-bar cable row equipment or maye even require no equipment at all.
Learning proper seated v-bar cable row form is easy with the step by step seated v-bar cable row instructions, seated v-bar cable row tips, and the instructional seated v-bar cable row technique video on this page. The seated v-bar cable row is a pull exercise for those with a beginner level of physical fitness and exercise experience. Watch the seated v-bar cable row video, learn how to do the seated v-bar cable row, and then be sure and browse through the seated v-bar cable row workouts on our workout plans page!
I like the way that the seated row targets the middle of my back but the one negative for me is it can be difficult to keep your lower back in neutral and get in and out of position while still piling on enough weight to really make a difference. Personally, I much prefer some type of barbell row, dumbbell row, chin-up, or deadlift.

New Madrid County Child Health Champion Campaign
The Project's Purpose
The purpose of this tri-community pilot is to:
- identify the information the communities need to protect their children from environmental health threats;
- Convey that information effectively;
- Determine what additional help communities need to sustain the effort; and
- Help the communities attain the necessary sustainable assistance.
EPA Region 7 selected a rural environmental justice project in the Bootheel of Missouri as its Child Health Champion Campaign pilot project. This area encompasses three agricultural communities in New Madrid County, Missouri: the City of Howardville, the City of Lilbourn, and the Village of North Lilbourn. In addition to these three jurisdictions, EPA and other partners involved include the Great Rivers Alliance of Natural Resources Districts and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resource Conservation Service.
Recent Accomplishments
To date, the Child Health Champion Community Team's accomplishments include:
- Identifying three priorities that threaten the environmental health of their children: lead poisoning, asthma and allergies, and water quality;
- Developing a mission statement that governs its activities and enforces a collaborative effort;
- Establishing an Outreach Committee to inform the community of progress on the project;
- Forming an Action Plan Committee to develop a plan to address each of the three priorities;
- Creating a methodology to educate and inform the community of environmental risks;
- Establishing Resource Centers in the three communities to disseminate information to the public regarding environmental threats in the community; and
- Submitting an action plan to EPA Headquarters. (The team is currently identifying local partners to assist in implementing the action plan.)
EPA has provided funding for baseline assessment and pilot planning for Fiscal Year 1998. In addition, EPA will provide information, guidance, and technical support for the pilot communities as needed, but the Child Health Champion Community Team will lead the process for baseline assessments, goal-setting, and action plan development. EPA has also provided funding for implementing the action plan.
- USDA/NRCS Midwest Region
- EPA Region 7
- Great Rivers Alliance of Natural Resource Districts
- Missouri Department of Natural Resources
- New Madrid County Health Department
- Missouri Department of Public Health
- Headstart
- New Madrid County Tri-Community Team
- Missouri Department of Conservation
- Delta Area Economic Development Corporation
- Bootheel Nurses Association
- Lincoln University Cooperative Extension
Benefits to the Communities as a Result of the Project
Benefits to the community will be a safer environment for children, greater community awareness regarding children's health hazards and prevention of hazards, and a greater capacity to address needs and concerns on a local level. Listed below are the goals/benefits identified by the Community Team in the Action Plan for the NMCTC Children's Health Project:
- 40% of all families in the Tri-Community will have knowledge of the threat of lead poisoning to young children.
- The necessary time, accessible locations, and enough personnel to screen/test children in the Tri-Community for lead poisoning will be made available. These tests will be provided at no cost to the families.
- Children found to have elevated blood-lead levels will be referred to appropriate medical care services.
- Capacity building will produce a more informed decision-making process regarding lead hazards and result in an improved quality of life.
- Areas around school(s) and children's playgrounds will be planted with appropriate evergreens, and long-lived trees and shrubs to decrease dust contaminants. Decreasing dust can contribute to fewer allergic/asthma reactions.
- Through education and awareness, citizens will become more informed of the environment surrounding them, which will impact their decision-making process and improve their quality of life.
- Increased citizens' awareness of possible health hazards will be offered through education and awareness training regarding the environmental health hazards of chemical products, tobacco smoke, home insect allergens, field and agricultural dust, and the adverse effect on children's respiratory health.
- Educational materials and training workshops will be provided concerning safe drinking water, stagnant water, water sampling and also the signs/symptoms of contaminated water and resultant ill health effects, to citizens in Howardville, Lilbourn, and North Lilbourn.
- The three communities will gain capacity for the recognition of environmental hazards and ways to reduce those threats in drinking water, storm water drainage, and stagnant water.
- Storm water drainage in the Tri-Community area will be improved.
Child Health Champion Campaign
The Child Health Champion Campaign is a pilot designed to empower communities to take steps to protect their children from environmental health threats. EPA initiated the pilot program to meet specific goals of President Clinton's Executive Order, Protection of Children from Environmental Health and Safety Risks, and EPA's National Agenda to Protect Children's Health from Environmental Health Threats.

Most likely the largest purchase the majority of us is ever going to make may be the acquisition of a house. Following you find a fantastic property and setup a home loan for it, you need to then wait for the closing date. But keep in mind, you will find a number of items that must be paid for before or on the closing date.
Prior to taking possession of your new house, you will have a number of expenses. Amongst them are the real estate lawyer's fee, home loan charges, home inspection as well as deposit on the property. Your real estate agent should be able to summarize and then estimate the charges you'll have to pay out. Make sure you allow for these costs as they can run into the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
You'll find obligations even for no money down mortgages. There are expenses associated with a home loan even if you go with a one hundred percent loan. All of the fees outlined previously in addition to the mortgage loan insurance will have to be paid.
Another expense you will have at closing time may be the property taxes. The possession date of your new house will determine your share of that year's property tax you will need to pay out. Ask about exactly what the property taxes are just before you begin your search for Brampton homes for sale as some locations have a lot higher taxes than others.
There is certainly however an easy method of reducing or even getting rid of your closing expenses. Your closing fees might be paid for by the seller through a seller concession. A seller concession can be incorporated inside the purchase contract and may be either a predetermined fee or possibly a percentage of the financial loan amount. This kind of negotiation tool can reduce or get rid of your closing costs.
Other fees included in a real estate purchase consist of deposits, title searches, interest on financial loans and legal fees. There are lots of details to think about when buying a house. Surrounding yourself with an experienced team of a real estate professional, lawyer, and mortgage professional can make the procedure a great deal simpler. They are going to be capable of explain precisely what your legal and financial requirements are going to be.
Do not stress out and attempt to appreciate the joy around your investment. Getting prepared and properly informed will prevent virtually any unpleasant surprises when it's time to get ownership of the property. Stop unnecessary tension by taking out the unknown and familiarizing yourself with all the costs surrounding the purchase of a home.

Missing Man Found Dead Near Gillette Street
The search for an endangered man in La Crosse leads to his body...
At least three boats were brought to a landing on the La Crosse River today, before rescue crews discovered the body of 34-year-old Matthew Stewart.

text: Health message for Wednesday, August 17: Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Health message for Thursday, August 18: Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. Synopsis and Discussion OZONE: Considerable cloud cover held local ozone levels down on Tuesday but today is starting out under mostly sunny skies. This, along with rather subdued gradient winds, should support highest ozone concentrations reaching the upper moderate range of the Air Quality Index. Winds aloft are now being advertised to become westerly thru a deep layer by Thursday morning. Since this component aligns with the typical upslope flow this time of year, higher afternoon winds are forecast to resume tomorrow and continue thru the weekend. This situation usually means that highest ozone levels will occur over the far eastern Valley and at this time are forecast to be in the mid-moderate range of the AQI. PARTICLES: Another outflow boundary from thunderstorm activity impacted parts of the Valley Tuesday evening with wind gusts as strong as 36 mph and reductions in visibilities to as low as two miles in blowing dust. This contributed to a max hourly PM-10 concentration of 591.2ug/m3 at the Higley monitoring site at 8:00 p.m. Active summer monsoon weather will continue over or in the vicinity of the Phoenix metro area thru Friday followed by a brief lull as dry westerly winds aloft occur. Moisture will be on the increase again by Monday. As a result, thunderstorm outflow boundaries from even distant thunderstorms will continue to pose a risk for periods of dense blowing dust and unhealthy PM-10 levels the next few evenings. For more information, please visit our Web page: www.azdeq.gov/environ/air/ozone/ensemble.pdf For transportation alternatives: www.valleymetro.org If you have any questions or comments regarding this forecast please contact: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Office of Communications 1110 W.

Walvis Bay — The Namibian Petroleum Corporation (Namcor) this week unveiled its newest products - a series of lubricants - developed in partnership with South African oil giant, Sasol.
With the lubricants, Namcor targets the mining, construction, agriculture, commercial road transport, manufacturing, marine and fishing sectors as well as wholesale and retail markets.
The concept of Namcor - branded lubricants dates back to June 2010. According to Patty Olivier, of Namcor, the lubricants would complement the fuel business, which forms an integral part of the company's overall downstream strategy.
Namibia consumes 11 million litres of lubricants per annum with an expected growth of approximately 4 percent. The bulk of the lubricant users are in the mining sector.
The lubricants conform to the SABS Mark of Quality, ISO 9001:2000 and are approved by major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). They are guaranteed for safe use.
Namcor said the lubricants are continuously tested to ensure that customers get an excellent quality product.
The Namcor branded lubricants will be available from Namcor depots in Windhoek, Otjiwarongo, Keetmanshoop and Mariental. The company is in the process of appointing agents in Ondangwa, Katima Mulilo and Lüderitz.
Namcor will also launch an automotive lubricant distribution business and construct bulk fuel depots countrywide, said Namcor's Petroleum Downstream Manager Patty Olivier and Corporate Communication Specialist, Katrina Sikeni.
Olivier said Namcor plans to construct bulk fuel depots, for both commercial and strategic fuel supplies, as part of its resolve to fortify its presence in the downstream oil sector. Currently, Namcor's involvement in the downstream oil sector involves importing petroleum products into Namibia and the supply of such products to oil marketing and distribution companies.
Olivier said the company has entered the marketing and distribution sectors of the business by participating in fuel tenders in line with its new strategy of building an integrated oil company that competes on an equal footing with other players in the industry.

"These cards are perfect. They're small and dainty but it adds to the elegance of it. The designer was amazing in helping my design come to life."
"I love the size and quality of this card! The best part of ordering was the customer service! I wanted to make a small adjustment to the design and it was a piece of cake!"
"We created these thank you cards and used the proof option after it had been reviewed by a design specialist at WPD. They recommended not using an enhancer we opted for when creating the card as it adds too much red. We went with what they recommended and the cards were perfect! Great quality in the photo and the paper. The design is simple, yet to the point and made a wonderful thank you card. So many compliments!"
"I love the heavy stock of the card's paper. It feels so professional and well made. The envelopes are a little thin/flimsy, but the card makes up for it."
"We took a picture with a "thank you" note on our wedding day. I needed a thank you card that didn't say thank you on it so this option was perfect. Simple, elegant and unique since you can get very creative whit it. The paper is good quality and the print was pretty good! I do recommend this card! We got lots of compliments on it!"

Bill to resurrect Arizona's film office on hold
PHOENIX -- An effort to bring back Arizona's office of film back after its 2009 closure is currently on hold at the state capitol.
The film bill would reopen the state's film office for just over $600,000 per year, but Valley filmmaker Randy Murray Murray said there seems to be an anti-Hollywood sentiment in Arizona.
"It's spilling over to hard-working folks in Arizona who don't deserve that," he said. "It's a clean industry, pays well and there's no reason we shouldn't have a film industry in Arizona."
Murray said state Sen. Gail Griffin from southern Arizona has put a hold on the bill, at least temporarily. If the hold were lifted and the bill passed, the state would likely see an influx of millions of dollars.
"Having a strong film community here is better for the state than having Apple or Intel here," said Murray. "These are great jobs that create more jobs. Intel is a great company but they're affecting schools in the East Valley but film companies spread the wealth around a showoff our state. It's bad business to say no to them."
Murray said he's holding out hope the film bill will eventually be passed.
Hundreds of Hollywood classics have been filmed in Arizona including countless westerns, "Raising Arizona," "Star Wars" and many others.

Countless studies of the placebo effect have shown that the mind may be the most important factor in human body function. With the ability to create or delete symptoms in an instant, tapping into this healing power only requires belief.
Innumerable examples throughout history and today document the power of the mind for healing. The first placebo trial was in 1801, according to "Placebos and Placebo Effects in Medicine: Historical Overview", by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (JRSM). John Haygarth, an eighteenth century British physician, stated that the experiment "clearly prove[d] what wonderful effects the passions of hope and faith, excited by mere imagination, can produce on disease."
Toward the end of the 1950s, it was believed that surgically tying the mammary artery could alleviate heart disease. To test for placebo, some patients received complete surgeries while others received skin incisions, but no further surgery. According to JRSM, "In both trials the rates of improvement were the same." The treatment was then abandoned.
A 1968 study in Psychosomatic Medicine describes how suggestions influence asthma attacks. Researchers asked patients to inhale an unlabeled substance that they were told would temporarily aggravate their asthma. When patients inhaled the mist, "many had full blown asthmatic attacks," describes Dr. Herbert Benson in Beyond the Relaxation Response. "They started wheezing, had difficulty breathing, and gasped uncontrollably" even though the substance they inhaled was a harmless saline solution. Then, researchers gave patients an "antidote" made from the exact same saline solution, and witnessed their wheezing and heavy breathing cease.
In a 1983 interview with KCRW-FM, the father of laughter medicine, Norman Cousins, discussed an LA Times front page article about a high school football game where four people got food poisoning. The doctor on case wasn't sure about the cause, so issued a general statement to avoid the soft-drink dispensing machine. "The moment this announcement was made, 191 persons became violently ill," and went to the hospital, recounts Cousins. "Well, it's obvious," Cousins states, "that what had happened was the brain had given certain signals to the body, and the body has produced poisons that produced the illness."
Cell biologist and Stanford researcher, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., gives several more recent examples of just how powerful one's thoughts can be. In his book, "Biology of Belief," he recounts:
A Baylor School of Medicine study, published in 2002 in the New England Journal of Medicine evaluated surgery for patients with severe debilitating knee pain. The lead author on the study, Dr. Bruce Moseley, knew that knee surgery helped his patients: "All good surgeons know there is no placebo effect in surgery." But Moseley was trying to figure out which part of the surgery was giving his patients relief. The patients in the study were divided into three groups. Moseley shaved the damaged cartilage in the knee of one group. For another group, he flushed out the knee joint, removing material thought to be causing the inflammatory effect. Both of these constitute standard treatment for arthritic knees. The third group got fake surgery. All three groups were prescribed the same postoperative care, which included an exercise program.
The results were shocking. Yes, the groups who received surgery, as expected, improved. But the placebo group improved just as much as the other two groups! Despite the fact there are 650,000 surgeries yearly for arthritic knees, at a cost of about $5,000 each, the results were clear to Moseley: "My skill as a surgeon had no benefit on these patients. The entire benefit of surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee was the placebo effect." Television news programs graphically illustrated the stunning results. Footage showed members of the placebo group walking and playing basketball, in short doing things they reported they could not do before their "surgery." The placebo patients didn't find out for two years that they had gotten fake surgery. One member of the placebo group, Tim Perez, who had to walk with a cane before the surgery, is now able to play basketball with his grandchildren. He summed up the theme of this book when he told the Discovery Health Channel, "In this world anything is possible when you put your mind to it. I know that your mind can work miracles."

I have a RAM X-Grip mount and a RAM universal finger grip. The X-Grip is handy. But with the medium length fingers, and the bottom stop arm in place, the Finger Grip mount is much more secure IMHO. I now use the X-Grip only in the car.
I also stuck one of the non-slip mats to the back of the finger grip mount to make it even more secure and to add a bit of cushion. I've actually been using this setup for a number of years. The only issue I've had is rain.
I have an Aquabox for rainy days. The Aquabox sucks. It is very difficult to operate the controls. The extra layer of rubber cover make so much glare that it is hard to see my maps. And if you are charging the device inside the case, in the sunlight, it can over heat. It is basically an oven.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - December 22, 1977):
Since 1921, this eight story steel-framed stone building has been the headquarters of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. Organized in 1871, the exchange was the principal spot market of the world and a leading futures market, outranked only by Liverpool and New York, well into the 1920s. The success of the exchange was due in large part to its first superintendent and long-time secretary, Henry G. Hester, the "Father of Cotton Statistics," whose work reduced investment risk.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce would not entertain a bid for defender James Tomkins, who has been linked with Newcastle.
With James Collins out with a hamstring injury, Tomkins, Guy Demel and Winston Reid are the only front-line defenders available for Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay at Manchester United. Tomkins has been linked with a move to the Magpies, but Allardyce is keen to add to his defence, rather than weaken it.
"It's impossible," the Hammers boss said. "I might have a problem keeping him if they bid £15million."

Concrete Rheometer BT2
Download Concrete Rheometer - BT2 PDF
The Concrete Rheometer BT2 is a compact rheometer for fresh concrete. Opposite to the spread table method the BT2 concrete rheometer tests the concrete at various loads. Therefore the relative yield-stress and relative viscosity can be determined. The unique design of the BT2 Concrete rheometer avoids structural breakdown and segregation during measuring. The BT2 is a small, powerful stand alone and easy to use equipment.
Test Procedure of the Concrete Rheometer BT2
- Fill fresh concrete in the specimen container.
- Switch on the BT2, at this moment the force sensors are automatically calibrated.
- Set the BT2 on the shaft in the middle of the container.
- Press the start button
- Turn the wheel by hand until the BT2 has turned one round.
- The data are now stable and stored in the BT2.
- Up to 35 datasets can be stored in BT2.
- After the test you can transfer the data via the infrared (IRDA) interface to a Palm handheld computer which is included in the standard scope of supply.
- The palm calculates and displays (both numerical and graphical) relative yield stress and relative viscosity
- The data can be transferred to any computer from the Palm Handheld device PC

Design of the Concrete Rheometer BT2
A sample of test material is placed in a sample container. The BT2 is fixed in the middle of the container and turned one round by hand. The internal processor monitors the measuring data i.e. The momentum on the three probes and the angular velocity. On completion of the measurement the readings may be wireless transferred and displayed to an external Palmtop.
Most rheometers measures the shear stress at various speed while the probe rotates several times in the test container. With the BT2 you will get three speeds at the same time, one convolution is enough. You will never measure in the same place two times. The system is driven by hand, and all the electronic is power independent. The ideal instrument specially designed for the building site.
Main Features of the Concrete Rheometer BT2
- Quick measurement
- Easy to operate
- Portable
- No structural breakdown during the measurement
- No segregation ore sedimentation during the measurement

Firefox continues gains against IEJanuary 21, 2005
Although Microsoft has yet to release the final version of IE 7, its rival has posted a Yahoo-optimized version of the Web browser. The browser is essentially the IE 7 browser with a number of tweaks, such as Yahoo home pages, Yahoo as the default search engine and a Yahoo toolbar.
A Microsoft representative declined to comment on the fact that IE 7 is available from Yahoo before it is available from the software giant. Microsoft has touted Yahoo's work as an example of the way other companies can customize the new browser.
The software maker has said it will make IE 7 available in the coming days for download, with automatic updates slated to go to IE 6 users next month. It has launched several publicly available test versions of the new browser.
Microsoft's first major overhaul of the browser in years, IE 7 adds features such as tabbed browsing, built-in RSS reader and improved printing. The company has included a number of security enhancements as well, including an antiphishing filter.

- Speaking of Punch...
- CNet has an occasional habit of promoting non-stories as news, as evidenced by this article. Microsoft publicly announced its release date for IE7 some time ago. That Yahoo! posted its customized version of IE7 prior to Microsoft's formal release date isn't some kind of victory for Yahoo!, or embarrassment for Microsoft, as the article seems to imply.
Microsoft no doubt released its production build of IE7 to Yahoo! (and presumably to others, as well) days or weeks ago, then Yahoo! folded in its changes and released its version. Should that alter Microsoft's announced release date? Does that indicate superiority for Yahoo! in some respect? Not that I can see.
The only story here would be if Yahoo! had an agreement with Microsoft not to release its version of IE7 prior to Microsoft's formal release, but did so anyway. Since the article makes no mention of such an agreement, we're left to assume there was none. End of story.

- Yahoo Desperate For Any Advantage
- With the online world consolidating under the Google banner, Yahoo needs to maximize any opportunity to be 'First-to-Market.' This poses little concern for Microsoft and actually helps them show that 3rd-parties are eager to use IE7 as the core of their Web 2.0 offerings. In other words, this is a WIN/WIN situation for both Yahoo and Microsoft.
Whether or not it's a win for users is still up in the air. I myself dislike vendor-customized browsers and have choosen to NOT install them. It will be interesting to see what the adoption rate for the customized IE7 browser is among people that use Yahoo frequently.

- It isn't a patch...
- For years, IE has been available as a development kit. Since IE 5, you can download the kit, and basically build your very own release of IE - complete with your own throbbing icon, company name in the window bar, customized plug-ins, settings, and much more. I'm not up-n-up on the kit for IE 7, but it sounds like this is what Yahoo used.

- Interesting comment, but yet another one that goes against every review I've read about it (even from Cnet). Has pracyically everything Firefox has and funny you mention speed, because, on my machine (P4 3.06 Ghz, 1.3 RAM, WinXp) it runs faster than Firefox and uses less RAM. Plus it works well with practically every webpage, unlike Firefox.

- Browser Wars
- Welcome to the next round of the browser wars. Microsoft just released Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP SP2. Another day, another under -whelming product from the minds at Microsoft. I know I wonder constantly, "what the heck are they thinking?".
Internet Explorer is another reactive (as opposed to proactive) move by Microsoft brought about solely because another company is threatening part of their monopoly. Is there any doubt that IE7 was a knee jerk reaction to Mozilla's Firefox & Opera's web browsers stealing significant market share?
Because they are constantly in reactive (can you say crisis?) mode these days, the results are very predictable. Microsoft's latest reincarnation of Internet Explorer catches up to Firefox & Opera on some features, falls short on others, and in general offers nothing that the others don't. And let's not forget that Firefox 2 is scheduled for release shortly and that Firefox 3 is already under development.
Here are some random snippets on the web regarding IE7.
IE 7 is an attempt by Microsoft to catch rival browsers as it includes features that have long been seen in competitors such as Firefox and Opera.
Internet Explorer 7 is a solid upgrade, but it's disappointing that after five years, the best Microsoft could do was to mostly catch up to smaller competitors.
IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.
The choice is yours. You can enable Microsoft to keep dumping average software on us, or you can vote with your hard earned mind share. Let me know what you think.

- Sure There Is
- IE7 is not an attempt to "catch" rival browsers. MS was concentrating on other endeavours and users had other options so they had no room to complain about the current state of IE6. Sure MS should have kept up with it, but when you people are constantly pushing out millions of spam emails a day, not counting your annoying forwards to friends, writing virii, adaware and spyware - Microsoft has plenty up their sleeve to worry about patching in Windows. In so many ways you have yourselves to blame for the security problems we all face and moreso for your unacceptable understanding of what not to do online. Common sense is your best defense before any security protection. Security protection, even in a browser is useless if your stupid. I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft realizes this too and is thinking "What is the point of fixing our browser when the users are too stupid to use the features in it?".
You are all lead to believe that Microsoft has an obligation to you which they don't. You purchased an operating system in it's current state. You should be thankful that Microsoft issues updates to fix problems at all, and when no alternative is doing a better job, what other choice do you have? That is exactly the reason everyone is complaining. There are no better choices, therefore we constantly moan about the current one and look at every opportunity to file a lawsuit because we become so bored and full of ourselves.

- Yahoo BETA email does not support IE7
- I think it is funny that while Yahoo rushed to publish a branded version of the IE7 web browser, its own BETA email service does not support Microsoft's newest offering. When I tried to use Yahoo's BETA email service today (11/20/06) I got an error message that said IE7 was not a supported browser. Yahoo then returned me to the old version of its free email service.

- Microsoft playing damage control
- So, lets see here... Yahoo! embarrases Microsoft by releasing a better version of the IE7 browser and Microsoft plays damage control by saying how it allows companies to customize IE7.
It's still kind of a dual embarassment considering that for some strange reason, Yahoo! Mail Beta does not seem to be agreeing with IE7 and it also seems to be a bit lacking in total CSS support (applies to both Microsoft version and Yahoo! version), which might make life difficicult for some Web Designers and Webmasters.
I'll stick with Firefox.

- A tale of the clone IE7 browsers
- I tried both Yahoo!'s IE7 and the microsofts release IE7 and discovered some interesting issues. First, after downloading Yahoo!'s IE7 version of the browser (which requires a restart of my computer), I noticed that the browser reported it was an IE6 version and not IE7. Also, when I signed in to my Yahoo! Beta e-mail account I had no problem with it running through the browser. However, when I tried a link from from Microsoft Music Service that was sent to my mail box the Microsoft Music Service would not let me sign in to my account.
Hours later I desided to download and install the IE7 browser microsoft was offering and had no problems either with Yahoo! Mail Beta nor with Microsoft Music Service.

Senator Gyang Pwajok yesterday called for urgent steps to compensate Plateau communities whose lands and habitats were devastated by decades of mining explorations that sustained the colonial economy.
"The explorations were massive and without commensurate benefits for any of the host communities. The Federal Government must address these injustices to save such communities from further stress and torture," he said in Jos.
Pwajok, who represents Plateau North, said that monies from such exploration, carried out mainly in the north of Plateau, sustained Nigeria "right up to discovery of oil."
"The exploration has left thousands of ponds and death traps. The effects of radio-actives have also been massive on the population.
"The people are farmers, but their land has been dug up and degraded. They can no longer till the land. They have made a lot of sacrifices but no one appears to have taken note, much less listen to their plight. This is not right," he said.
Pwajok said that the explorations covered a land mass that was "more than the entire Abuja," and disclosed that the worst affected areas also included Bokkos in Plateau central. (NAN)

After CT school massacre, Hillsborough citizens call for legislative changes
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
As parents and children come to terms with the Connecticut school shooting that claimed the lives of twenty students on Friday, some people are asking Florida lawmakers to consider public safety legislation. During the Hillsborough County legislative delegation meeting Monday in downtown Tampa, Republican state Representative Dana Young said she wonât propose any gun regulations until she sees evidence that it will make a difference.
âObviously this is something that is in the national press and in the local press so itâs being discussed widely, but this is not something that Iâm willing to make a comment on at this time.â
What Young does want to see, though, is more gun safety education.
âI think that all those who own firearms have a responsibility to educate themselves on the proper usage and, above that, the safety in operating those weapons and I do think that gun safety is a very important topic that should be discussed at all levels and I think youâll find that people on both sides of this issue are very strong advocates for gun safety and gun education.â
Hillsborough County increased security at schools today, pulling resources from its marine and canine units. But the boost in police presence isnât feasible on a continued basis. Public education advocate Susan Smith accused the Republican-led legislative delegation of supporting dangerous, gun-friendly legislation.
âWe live in a gun culture where the rights of gun owners and gun manufacturers are paramount over the rights and safety of our children. Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis are but two Florida children recently murdered whose names have been added to the shameful list of innocents who have died because of reckless gun policies. Itâs time for sensible gun safety policies in Florida. Our children deserve better.â
There will soon be one million gun owners in Florida with concealed carry permits. Tim Heberlein, executive director of the group Florida Consumer Action Network, has a personal stake in the Aurora movie theater shooting over the summer. A friend was injured in the attack. He came in an official capacity to address legislators about things like healthcare and election reform, and as a concerned citizen to urge them to take action when it comes to responsible gun policy.
âWe live in a culture of violence right now and people are afraid and I think there needs to be some very proactive measures by our state legislature to address these issues. Instead of touting our record of one million concealed carry permits, we really need to be finding solutions that prevent tragedies like that from coming to Florida.â
Some officials took a hard line on the issue too. James Previtara, a Colonel with the Hillsborough County Sheriffâs Office, said the agency will oppose NRA-backed legislation letting people with concealed carry permits carry their weapons visibly on the street. He also suggested the state funnel some money back into the mental health system.
âThe effect of cuts to community based mental health treatment and monies that supplement that are posing a risk to public safety and I believe that in the weeks to come, as we learn more about the tragedy in Connecticut that you will see that there is an impact there.â
Hillsborough County Schools Superintendent MaryEllen Elia emphasized the need for a close-up evaluation of how to make schools safer, including doing something about kids playing violent video games.
âThe hours that have been documented that children spend in front of them and the particular actions that get reinforced by those games, if you look at them you should draw your own conclusion, but I would suggest that this is something that we clearly â we can address a lot of issues, but until we start looking at the cause of some of these things that are occurring at not only our schools, but clearly our schools and we have a terrible example of that tragedy, than we arenât addressing the issue.â
With conversation about gun-related violence escalating in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre, the Florida Legislature would be hard pressed to ignore pressure from gun control advocates. Ken Atwater, president of Hillsborough Community College, urged lawmakers to give thoughtful consideration to any public safety measures brought before them in the upcoming legislative session.
âI hope youâll take seriously your job in legislation about maintaining our studentsâ and staffâs safety. As items come before you thatâs going to increase their safety, I hope youâll give that serious consideration and support as we try to ensure that we have an environment where people can be safe especially in [light] of whatâs going on in the country.â
During an address on Friday, President Barack Obama hinted at a federal gun control initiative when he said meaningful action needs to be taken to prevent further tragedies regardless of politics. Over the weekend Obama reiterated that at a vigil with residents of Newtown where the shooting occurred.

Is Rep. Young consistent in her standards for legislation? If so, she will advocate repealing laws against murder, until she has evidence that such laws make a difference. It seems that there is a lot of murder going on, so maybe she'll suggest that we free up our police to do worthwhile things instead of pursuing people who will commit murder regardless of what the law says.

Oklahoma State Cowboys head football coach Mike Gundy on replacing Justin Blackmon
DALLAS (AP) - With Justin Blackmon gone to the NFL after 121 catches for 1,522 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, how does Oklahoma State expect to replace that production?
"We want three or four of our receivers this year to give us what a Justin Blackmon gave us this last year," coach Mike Gundy said. "And so that will be our goal is for Wes (Lunt, the freshman quarterback) to be able to develop and delegate the ball to the guys that can make the plays. But it is very difficult to replace a Justin Blackmon."
Gundy likened the situation to when the Cowboys lost running back Kendall Hunter after 2010 following consecutive 1,500-yard rushing seasons.
"I felt like that Jeremy Smith and Joseph Randle as a pair needed to combine and give us what Kendall did," the coach said. "And those guys have been able to do that."
Randle ran for 1,216 yards and 24 touchdowns last season while Smith had 646 yards and nine TDs. And both are back as juniors this season.
Senior receivers Isaiah Anderson and Tracy Moore get their shots as starter this season. Moore had 45 catches for 672 yards and four TDs last years.
