These Pineapple Cheesecake Blondie Bars are a sweet treat that covers a lot of bases. Cookie bar bottom layer, cheesecake middle and simple pineapple topping. The thick blondie layer makes these a bit more sturdy and cookie-like than most cheesecake bars. They are a great recipe to use up a stray single block of cream cheese.
Pineapple Cheesecake Blondies would be a nice addition to any dessert table, and pair nicely with both tea and coffee. Make a batch for a friend.

On the Economic Impact of International Sport Events
Using firm-level data for up to 707 Swiss hotels and restaurants we evaluate the economic impact of the EURO 2008 soccer championship. Although aggregated macro data reveal no economic impact, we report an overall negative effect based on the surveyed companies. Notably the reported eects of the individual rms are very heterogeneous. For instance, hotels in cities benefitted from the tournament as they were able to raise prices and thereby increase profits. Looking at the long-run impact only a small fraction of companies do believe in a positive effect. Interestingly, this outlook does not depend on earnings, but on the guest structure.

Imagenetix Rolls Out Retail Branding Program for Joint-health Products
SAN DIEGO -- Imagenetix, Inc. here has launched a comprehensive nationwide retail-branding program for its proprietary products. The first products to be branded under the program will be the company's Celadrin-based joint health formulas.
SAN DIEGO -- Imagenetix, Inc. here has launched a comprehensive nationwide retail-branding program for its proprietary products. The first products to be branded under the program will be the company's Celadrin-based joint health formulas.
These products, branded under the name Inflame Away, will be exclusively marketed by Imagenetix and sold directly to leading mass market retailers across the United States.
As well as giving Imagenetix the opportunity to build consumer demand for Inflame Away through a wide-ranging marketing campaign directly and exclusively supporting the brand, the program will provide the company with a direct relationship with mass market retailers carrying the brand and facilitate the marketing of future Imagenetix-branded products to those retailers, among other aims.
Inflame Away, which will be available in regular-strength and extra-strength softgel formulas, as well as pain-relieving cream formulas, is slated to arrive at retail outlets by fall 2006. The products will be supported by a marketing campaign featuring live interactive radio spots, TV commercials, celebrity testimonials, online advertising, and grass-roots promotions in the country's 50 top markets.
The program will be led by Tom Hall and Frank Sajovic, both former executives of Pharmavite Corp., a Mission Hills, Calif.-based maker and marketer of vitamins and nutritional supplements. The two developed and guided the sales and marketing campaign that made that company's Nature Made Vitamins the premier vitamin brand in the marketplace.
"We believe the best way to build long-term shareholder value is to create brand names with loyal consumer following," said Imagenetix chief executive William P. Spencer in a statement. "Under the guidance of highly successful marketers such as Frank Sajovic and Tom Hall, we believe we can establish Inflame Away as a leading joint health brand and produce superior financial results for Imagenetix."
Imagenetix will announce news of additional products to be launched under the branding program in the near future. The company also develops and markets natural-based proprietary products, including over-the-counter topical creams and skin care products, for inflammation-related markets.

Shopping the reduced-price racks at the grocery store is a big part of how I keep my grocery budget on track. I'd estimate that at least 25% of the stuff that goes into my cart each week comes from these sections of the store. But understand this: I'm not bringing home a bunch of dented cans and expired foods. Far from it. Take a look at what I snagged this week:
- (7) boxes of Quaker Whole Hearts Cereal (Best By Date: July 2013)
- (8) Keebler chocolate graham cracker pie crusts (Best By Date: August 30)
- (2) 10-oz bags of Fisher Slivered Almonds
- (3) cans of blackeyed peas (Best By Date: November 17, 2014)
- (1) container of ground cinnamon
- (1) bag of oranges
Nothing I bought was expired. None of it had damaged packaging. The fruit wasn't even bruised or past its prime. It was just reduced because, for one reason or another, the store wanted to move it fast. Having spoken to an employee at this particular store before, I know that they often sell cereal at a reduced price when they have overstock (even if that overstock came in on the truck that very day). I also know that they reduce many items after the holidays to shrink their inventory back to its normal size – hence the deal on the pie crusts, nuts, cinnamon and blackeyed peas.
Sometimes I snag deals on things like milk and meat because they're approaching their sell-by date, and I'm good with that, too. Meat is easy enough to toss in the freezer, and my family's three-gallon-a-week habit, ensures milk gets used long before it's passed its prime.
If you aren't cruising the reduced-price racks already, give it a try the next time you're at the store. You may just be surprised at what you find.
Tune in to see what I find on the reduced racks next week …

One of a scholastic wrestling coach's responsibilities is to create a wrestling schedule for the team. Creating a wrestling schedule from scratch can seem like an overwhelming challenge, but the tips below can help ensure your team has the best experience possible.
- Complete your wrestling schedule early. If possible, you should have your schedule mostly filled in the summer before the season begins, so all you have to do throughout the season is pencil in some dates here and there.
- Start your practices early. Rather than waiting until a few weeks into the season to begin practice, schedule your first meets early so your wrestlers can get on the mat as soon as possible.
- Don't schedule in overly long breaks. It's fine to give your team a weekend off here and there, but avoid long break periods, as each match is an opportunity for your wrestlers to learn.
- Try to schedule as many tough tournaments as possible during the month before your qualifying tournaments. This should be your team's most competitive month.
- Be aware of travel limits. In some states, there are regulations in place that dictate how far a team can travel to compete. Be sure to learn your state's regulations before you start scheduling events.
- Keep your state's match limits in mind. Each state has a set number of matches and competitions varsity wrestlers can compete in before a qualifying tournament series. Take these into consideration as you schedule meets for your wrestlers.
- Use the Internet to search for events. Wrestling forums and websites for other local teams are two great places to find events for your wrestlers online.
- To ensure your wrestlers get the most practice, try to schedule as many tournaments as your budget will allow. In addition, make sure these tournaments are appropriate for your team's skill level. Ideally, you should try to schedule a combination of competitive one- and two-day tournaments that will challenge your team.
The tips above can help ensure you create a wrestling schedule that will work for your team and challenge your wrestlers. Aside from utilizing high-quality wrestling gear and wrestling shoes, few things can impact your team's performance as much as your schedule, so be sure to review the tips above before you plan your next wrestling season.

New Delhi: Plugging policy loopholes, the government has spelt out the rules for FDI-funded wholesale or cash-and-carry trading ventures, restricting their merchandise sale to registered retailers and not directly to consumers.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the nodal agency for formulating and administering foreign direct investment policies, has for the first time defined wholesale activities.
The rules have been incorporated in the consolidated FDI Policy document so that foreign retail stores, allowed in wholesale activities, do not subvert the guidelines which do not allow overseas investments in retail.
Under the policy, 100% FDI is permitted in wholesale trading and 51% in single-brand retail, while foreign investment is not allowed in multi-brand retail.
Several multi-nationals like Walmart, Metro and Tesco, have set up cash-and-carry stores in India building the back- end supply logistics.
In the absence of a clear definition of the wholesale activity, these stores could have sold goods to bulk consumers.
According to new comprehensive guidelines, whether a transaction is wholesale or retail would depend on the type of customers to whom the sale is made and not the size and volume of sales.
Wholesale trading would mean sale of goods to retailers, industrial, commercial, other professional business users or to other wholesalers, but not for personal consumption.
Excepting for sales to the government, wholesale trading could be done with business entities holding VAT registration, sales tax, service tax and trade licences.
It would also include resale, processing and thereafter sale, bulk imports with export/ex-bonded warehouse business sales and B2B e-commerce.

BBB Tip of the Week: Online coupons
Sun., May 6, 2012
• "Clip" online coupons with caution: Many years ago, when I subscribed to the Washington Post, I used to throw away ads, coupons, perfume supplements. If it wasn't news, it was trash. I don't do that anymore. Well, not the coupons. Now you can get coupons online. According to Coupons.com, more than 55.7 million Americans use online coupons – a quarter of the population.
• A few years ago, the BBB of Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois reported that one Southeast grocery chain had temporarily stopped accepting Internet coupons because it could not figure out which were legitimate. Other online coupon scams involve bait-and-switch offers in which you think, for example, you're going to receive a free iPad, but you really end up filling out endless surveys and getting an annoying number of telemarketing calls.
• When redeeming online coupons:
• Be extremely cautious if the coupon requires you to call the company or divulge personal information.
• Be wary of pop-up ad coupon offers that require you to click immediately to redeem. Clicking may automatically sign you up for services you don't want, even billing you monthly.
• Check a coupon's expiration date, limitations of use and whether it is good only for online purchases or can be redeemed at a store.
• Check to see whether the coupon is offered by the store or by a third-party. If it's from a third party, a store may ask for additional information or require you to sign up for additional services. Again, use caution before divulging any personal information.
• Because some stores are concerned about online coupon fraud, not all businesses are eager to redeem them. Contact the store to find out whether it will honor the coupon.
• If you're emailed a coupon from a friend or family member, don't assume it is legitimate.
They could have been duped by a fake coupon.
• Find a reputable/authorized coupon distributor site that you like, verify their track record with the BBB, and use it repeatedly rather than running around hundreds of Internet sites trying to save a nickel.
• More info or report scams: Visit the BBB at www.bbb.org. Call (509) 455-4200 or (800) 356-1007. Or sign up to receive our Scam Alerts at www.bbb.org/scam.

Black women are on the rise in the entrepreneurial world. A new study from the Center for American Progress reveals there are significant gains made by African-American women in business ownership.
Black-owned businesses make up the fastest-growing segment of women-owned businesses in America. In addition, Black women are starting businesses six-times the rate of the general population. Of the number of African-American owned businesses, women of color make up 42 percent.
The rise in business ownership among women of color points to the crucialness of developing economic opportunities for African-American women, who remain either the head of household or the primary breadwinners in the home. According to reports, 53.3 percent of wives in Black households are bringing in more income, suggesting that the growth in Black women-owned businesses may be paramount for the fiscal well-being of the Black community overall.
What do you think of the news that Black female entrepreneurs are on the rise? Will it encourage you to support more Black-owned businesses? Sound off.

About Rachel
Hi there, I'm Rachel Z. Cornell, aka The Pro-Nagger. My expertise focuses on ending procrastination and perfectionism to help people see results.
Did you know procrastination and perfectionism are most common among intelligent and innovative people? It's no wonder I tend to attract academics, authors, and independent professionals.
Are you procrastinating on projects which would transform your life if you finished them? For example, what about your article? It could be what's standing between you and huge amounts of professional success, satisfaction, and even tenure. You know if you finish that book, you're going to advance your career and be able to inspire more people. And if you finish your dissertation, you're going to have more earning power. In all of these cases, you will feel a huge sense of satisfaction for finishing such substantial projects. But you're not finishing.
For years you have been telling yourself to just do it. You don't do it. Instead, you look up productivity hacks, try creating a routine, and join writing groups. But nothing helps.
Not really. Not for very long. Usually, the only way you get yourself to work or hit send is to become so frustrated and mad at yourself you do something.
Soon enough, though, you're head-first down the research hole, re-re-re-editing, scrubbing the kitchen floor (with a toothbrush) or extinguishing an "important" fire in your department. You wonder "what's wrong with me?" There is nothing wrong with you. I repeat…"There is nothing wrong with you."
Most people try to motivate themselves using methods that don't work for them. Real power comes when you know your motivational triggers and continue to motivate yourself even when you're in a deep slump.
The ProNagger method isn't focused on more-faster-better but on meaningful success…With a good night's sleep!
So, do you need to finish (or start) your book, launch your product, finish your article or dissertation to create the kind of respect, satisfaction and rewarding success you know is possible?
Please excuse our dust
We're doing a bit of redesign work around here. Please excuse the mess. We hope to have it finished very soon

Deductions and payments from workers: contractual deductions or payments - for conduct relating to 'any other event'
Relevant legislation
The legislation that applies to this page is as follows:
For pay reference periods commencing
* on or after 6 April 2015; National Minimum Wage Regulations 2015, regulations 12(2)(a)
* before 6 April 2015; National Minimum Wage Regulations 1999, regulations 33(a) & 35(a)
When considering contractual deductions and payments from workers it is necessary to consider both:
- conduct and discipline (NMWM11060), and
- conduct relating to 'any other event'.
Conduct relating to 'any other event'
A deduction made from a worker's pay or a payment made by the worker to his employer which is both:
- a specified contractual liability of the worker AND
- in respect of the worker's conduct relating to 'any other event'
will not reduce national minimum wage pay.
The circumstances relating to the deduction or payment must be specified in the worker's contract (i.e. the worker must be contractually liable) and the clause must be in respect of a voluntary deduction or payment (for example, something not in connection with the employment NMWM11100) which is triggered by 'any other event' which has some relationship to the voluntary conduct of the worker, such as a choosing to resign. Examples of conduct relating to 'any other event' are described in NMWM11066.
Where deductions are being made from workers it is reasonable to expect the employer to provide evidence to a NMW Compliance Officer regarding the exact circumstances of such deductions. If an employer suggests that a deduction is stipulated as conduct relating to 'any other event' in a worker's contract (written or otherwise) and the clause makes the worker contractually liable for a deduction, then it is reasonable to see some evidence to expressly support this.
See NMWM11070 if an employer makes deductions or payments as specified in a worker's contract which are not related to conduct and discipline or conduct relating to 'any other event'.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/12/2013 (1327 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Fontaines, the generous Sagkeeng First Nation couple who won $50 million in a lottery draw in 2009, handed out $600,000 to Winnipeg charities on Monday.
The family donated $100,000 apiece to the Christmas Cheer Board, Siloam Mission, Rossbrook House, the Children's Hospital Foundation, The Dream Factory and Winnipeg Harvest.
"We were totally amazed and thrill to be the recipient of such a substantial donation," said Grace Thomson, executive director of The Dream Factory, in a release. The Dream Factory fulfils dreams for children suffering life-threatening illnesses.
"Since winning the lottery, Kirby and Marie have been so generous to the local community time and again, showing that they are big-hearted people," Thomson said.
At the Christmas Cheer Board, which was facing a revenue shortfall that figured to be upwards of $75,000, the donation will help the organization make ends meet at a time when it was needed the most.
"I was sitting at my desk and I got a phone call saying 'Kai, you better come to the front because the Fontaines are coming to visit again," said cheer board director Kai Madsen.
"So I went out there right away and had a nice chat with Marie and Kirby. They certainly made my day and the day of all our volunteers."
It's the second straight year the Fontaines passed along a sizable end-of-the-year donation to the cheer board. Last year, they cut Madsen a cheque for $50,000 to help cover costs over the holiday season.
Madsen said the Christmas Cheer Board needs to raise between $800,000 to $900,000 to keep operations moving forward annually. The numbers for 2013 haven't been totalled yet (expenses are still being tabulated from the annual Christmas hamper drive), but Madsen said projections had the organization looking at a deficit of anywhere from $40,000-$75,000.
Receiving a $100,000 boost helped remove a lot of worry around the offices, Madsen said, adding that he was admittedly stressing about what the final 2013 numbers were going to look like next month.
"It gives us a nice start for next year," he said. "It just solidifies things for us and gives us now a chance to start looking forward to fundraising for 2014."

One of the most legendary distillery in the world Dalmore has launched its newest limited release: The Dalmore 35 single malt whisky. For the past thirty-five years, renowned Scotch whisky maker Richard Paterson, master distiller of The Dalmore, has been observing the exceptional spirit while it has been aging in three types of casks—ex-bourbon barrels, 30-year-old Matusalem (sweetened Oloroso) sherry casks, and vintage 1970 Colheita port pipes.
Richard Patterson travels the world in search of ideal casks in which to age his whisky. The casks, that have given the world a rich Dalmore 35 whisky, have enriched it with notes of crushed almonds, coffee mousse, soft liquorice and gingerbread, as well as a palate of dark treacle cake, freshly ground Java coffee and banana bread with a finish of roasted chestnuts, raisins and orange peel.
Every hand-blown Baccarat crystal decanter is housed in an elegant wooden case. The bottle is decorated with the iconic 12-pointed Royal Stag, which was awarded to the founding Mackenzie Clan after they saved King Alexander from a charging stag. After the Mackenzie family acquired The Dalmore Distillery, they adorned every bottle of The Dalmore with the emblem, which continues to be a distinguishing feature of their collection.
Only 1,000 bottles of the Dalmore 35 will be released worldwide per year for the next five years, at a suggested retail price of $5,500.

To take bratwurst from the grill to the stovetop, you only need supplant the grill for a heavy-bottomed pan or cast-iron grill pan. Grill pans don't invest the wealth of smokiness that a barbecue does, but they create a tinge of char with a taste redolent of the grill. As with grilled brats, you need to partially cook them in liquid before applying dry heat. Stovetop cooking allows for braising and frying, adding textures and tastes you won't get from the grill. Before cooking, spear the brats a couple times with a fork to provide an outlet for steam.
Basic Technique
Cooking brats is a two-step process: simmering them until fully cooked, and then browning them in hot fat. The flavor of the cooking liquid has little effect on the taste of the brats. Other than the small holes that let steam escape, there isn't an inlet for the cooking liquid to enter the casing. But that doesn't mean you can't benefit from cooking the brats in a flavorful liquid. On the contrary, when combined with the cooking liquid, the fat rendered from the brats during cooking makes a solid base for a sauce.
Cover the brats in water or a combination of beer and broth or wine and broth. Simmer the brats until they reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the center, about 5 to 10 minutes according to their thickness. Reserve the cooking liquid.
Heat a few tablespoons of butter or oil in a pan over medium heat. Dry the brats with a paper towel and saute them until the casing crisps, about 4 to 5 minutes. Combine the pan drippings with the cooking liquid and simmer it until syrupy for a simple reduction sauce.
Braised Brats
Braising doesn't affect the tenderness of bratwurst. Ground meat, loose like hamburger or packed in a casing like bratwurst, doesn't have pieces of connective tissue large enough to make it tough to chew. Braising does, however, build a superior sauce to pair with the bratwurst.
Add a bay leaf, black peppercorns and a handful of freshly chopped herbs and set the heat to low. Return the brats to the pan and add secondary ingredients, such as tomatoes, mushrooms and peppers. Cover the pan and cook the brats until they reach 165 F, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove the brats and simmer the braising liquid until it reduces to a moderately thick sauce. Season the sauce to taste and serve it over the bratwurst.
Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut
Bratwurst and sauerkraut exemplify rustikale Gerichte, or country-style German food. As a loose preparation, variations on this classic abound, but for an authentic feel, simply choose a region of Germany and incorporate its flavors into the the dish. For example, in the Pfalz region of Eastern Germany, you might find nordhessische bratwurst and sauerkraut flavored with riesling, apples and bacon. In Bavaria, you can expect a frankische bratwurst and kraut cooked with cider vinegar, spicy mustard and shredded potatoes.
For a brat-and-sauerkraut dish made in the style of Pfalz, sear a few pounds of bratwurst in a saute pan and set them aside. Cook chopped bacon and a cup or two of sliced onions in a casserole over low heat until the bacon is fully cooked. Next, add about 1/2 cup of riesling, allspice, juniper berries, several bay leafs and black peppercorns to the casserole.
Add a couple of pounds of undrained sauerkraut and 1 large chopped apple to the casserole. Cook the sauerkraut for 30 minutes; then add the bratwurst. Cook for an additional 20 minutes and serve it with whole-grain mustard.
Currywurst is something of a culinary institution in Germany, at least of a fast food, or Schnell-Imbisse, type. And there's nothing striking about the dish: Bratwurst, ketchup and curry spices are all you need.
Saute onions and mustard seeds in vegetable oil until they brown. Next, add 1 part (1 tablespoon) of curry powder and a pinch each of anise seeds, nutmeg and white pepper. Cook the currywurst sauce over low heat and serve it over simmered and pan-seared bratwurst.

Babik child-porn case is work of local online task force
Published: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 10:24 a.m.
The case against an area broadcaster accused of distributing and possessing child pornography is one of many similar cases investigated by the Gainesville-based North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
The task force, also known as ICAC, is based at the Gainesville Police Department with three full-time officers, including an Alachua County sheriff's deputy, and a part-time detective assigned to it.
ICAC provides information and resource-sharing on cases involving child exploitation. More than 30 counties are part of the group, stretching from North to Central Florida.
"Wherever it is, we probably have a local contact or person that we know," Gainesville police detective and task force leader John Madsen said.
The interaction among different agencies helps prevent these kinds of cases from falling through the cracks and promotes interaction among officers locally and across the country, task force members say.
During the second half of this past year, the task force was involved in 500 proactive and reactive investigations, Madsen said. Reactive cases involve tips, while officers in proactive cases might be working online posing as a child or hunting for those sharing child pornography.
The task force seeks administrative subpoenas to compel Internet service providers to provide information about a subscriber who is receiving files identified as child pornography. About 10 subpoenas are sought on a weekly basis. At least one results in investigators taking a closer look, Madsen said.
"The biggest factors in terms of who is likely to be downloading this stuff seems to be that they, number one, have access to a computer, usually at home, and that they understand the technology," Madsen said. "We also know that 90 percent of the cases involve males, and about 90 percent are white."
In a recent high-profile case involving ICAC, Steven Michael Babik, who had hosted the "TailGator Pre-game Show" and the "Urban Meyer Post-Game Show," was charged Tuesday in federal court with receipt and distribution of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
Sources familiar with the case indicated the distribution charge involved allegations that Babik participated in file sharing in which he actively or passively allowed access to digitally stored files, such as music or programs.
Babik entered a not guilty plea in the case Tuesday and was released on his own recognizance pending a trial currently scheduled for March 1, according to court records.
Other cases ICAC has been involved in include the prosecution of former University of Florida law school official John Patrick Shannon, who was ordered in 2007 to serve two years of house arrest followed by eight years of probation on two counts of child abuse.
That case's state prosecutor credited a detective with ICAC for work in the case after "despicable comments" were made online involving a child.
The case against Shannon began after detectives with ICAC seized computer equipment from a High Springs man, Gary J. Norsworthy, sentenced in 2006 to 40 years in prison after pleading no contest to charges including sex crimes against two boys he knew were under 12. Six other men around the country also faced prosecution because of the investigation.
In 2006, officers arrested a spokesman for the Homeland Security Department, Brian J. Doyle of Maryland, who was accused of engaging in online sexual conversations with a Polk County undercover detective who was posing as a teenage girl. ICAC coordinated contact between the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Maryland law enforcement in that case.

Making A Difference
India's Story
Where It All Began
India's interest in veterinary medicine started when she was 15 and she brought her dog to Veterinary Specialty Center with a leg injury. She worked in the VSC ward throughout high school, walking dogs and cleaning cages. After completing veterinary school and her residency, India returned to the clinic as a board-certified surgeon.

What India Does
For patients in need of advanced surgery, India provides comprehensive explanations of injuries and diseases and offers suggestions for treatment. In emergency situations—like the case of Bosco, a German Shepherd who suffered severe trauma to his legs—India makes crucial decisions. Thanks to India and her team, Bosco has returned to his normal routine of running around his yard.

Allyson Crymuskis. A 15-year-old girl, somehow getting through high school, with a crush on the hottest guy in tenth grade at Claverton High, Jonathon D'Carlo. Sounds like a typical teenage girl, right? What's so special about Allyson, anyway?
What's special about her is her linked past with Christian Verenni, better known as Slayer. Slayer is a druggie, a drunk, and a completely different person than the one Ally used to know. His once-blond hair is now black, he's lost about 20 pounds, and he's always sulking. Ally had broken off contact with him since she learned he had started using and abusing drugs. But, after they reconnect, Ally starts to have flashbacks--of their childhood, of Slayer's rocky past, of the summer that tore Ally's life apart, and even of their slowly blossoming romance. As Ally gets tangled even deeper within Slayer's dangerous life, her best friend, Destinee, is pulled in as well. And, to make things even more complicated, Ally starts to grow close with--of all people--Jonathon D'Carlo.
What can Ally do to get out of the mess she's gotten herself into?

In Moscow, it's common for two buildings to have blind walls facing each other over a wide alley. This setup provides the perfect space for a lithe, little office to build itself a perch. The structure fuses onto the neighboring buildings with steel clamps, hovering off the ground so pedestrians can stroll under it. It also glows at night, thanks to a translucent plastic shell, looking like a wasps' nest from hell.

Architect Michael Graves considers the Portland Building one of his top achievements even though the building is still controversial. mdler thinks "this thing is a POS" and elletoman commented "gross". Donna Sink disagreed arguing "I love the Portland building and most important I love that this building happened.

 For the latest Showcase Archinect talked to Iranian-Canadian creative director and photographer Sam Javanrouh. He provided two images of Daniel Libeskind's Crystal for the Royal Ontario Museum; one titled Jumping Girl, the other portrays the space without people. So we asked, him "What are your thoughts about including people in your photos? Is it important to photograph a building in use, or by itself?" and he replied "It really depends on the subject and the mood I'm trying to convey. Sometimes showing a structure alone with nothing else to distract is most powerful, and sometimes including people in the shot is what makes the photo. A good example of that is the Jumping Girl photo that I shot in ROM's Crystal. I have a photo of the same exact interior with no people in it, and it has a completely different feeling and it doesn't have the same energy. If I have the luxury of shooting the photos with and without people and choosing later I try to do that."

"Exemplary care for my breast cancer"
About: NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde / West Scotland Breast Screening Centre NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde West Scotland Breast Screening Centre Glasgow G2 1QT Western Infirmary/Gartnavel General / General Surgery Western Infirmary/Gartnavel General General Surgery G11 6NT
Posted by mags s (as ),
I had my very first mammogram at the breast screening caravan at Clydebank Health Centre in November 2012 and was recalled to Nelson Mandela place for further checks in December where I received a biopsy.
I was diagnosed as having breast cancer in mid-December. I was devastated at the news. Within a week I had received a letter advising me that I would be having surgery in early January at the Western Infirmary to remove the cancer. I went in the week before for the pre-op assessment where I met Helen the breast care nurse, who was very supportive and helped to take away some of the fear I had about the surgery.
I went back in the next week for the radioactive nipple injection which would highlight the lymph nodes on the day of surgery. It wasn't a pleasant thing to have done but the technician did her best to put me at ease and it wasn't all that bad in the end.
On the morning of the surgery I had a wire inserted into the cancer under a local anaesthetic. Again it wasn't a nice thing to have done but the medical staff involved in the procedure were great and made it as stress free as possible. Unfortunately I had a bit of a wait before my operation as it was really busy but the breast care nurse kept a check on me throughout the day as I was really nervous.
I went down to the theatre at 2:45 pm and the staff there were great and helped calm my nerves. The operation went well and I was so relieved when it was over. After a few hours back up on the ward I was able to go home.
The following Thursday I met Miss Stallard at the out-patients clinic who gave me the good new that my lymph node biopsy was clear and so were all the other tissue samples they had taken. I was over the moon.
I will have to have a course of radiotherapy, probably at the end of March and take tamoxifen for 5 years, but I am so pleased at the positive outcome.
I would like to express my gratitude to all involved in my care since I was diagnosed. It has been extremely distressing time for me but the care and attention I have received from all the staff especially Helen the breast care nurse and Miss Stallard who performed the surgery has been exemplary.
With all the negative stories we are hearing in the media just now regarding the NHS, I thought I had to write and tell you that the experience I have had has been a very positive one. Keep up the good work.
Response from Paul Cannon, Head of Administration, Acute Services Division, Greater Glasgow & Clyde NHS 4 years ago
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to provide your very kind feedback.
I will ensure that this is passed on to those involved and I am sure that they will be very pleased to read your comments.
I am sorry that this posting was not acknowledged at the time, we had a break in our use of Patient Opinion, but we have now resumed doing so, and I thought it was still important to acknowledge your posting and where appropriate to pass comments on.
Once again, thank you for using the Patient Opinion feedback system, it is greatly appreciated.
Both the staff at the Breast Screening Clinic and Miss Stallard and her team at the Western Infirmary will be delighted to read your very thoughtful remarks.

May is Electrical Safety Month
May is National Electrical Safety Month and Sam Houston Electric Cooperativeis teaming up with the Electrical Safety Foundation International to spearhead the annual effort to raise awareness of potential home electrical hazards and the importance of electrical safety."Extension cord misuse and overburdened electrical systems are two of the main causes of home electrical fires," said ESFI President Brett Brenner. "It is important to be aware of these common and preventable hazards, as well as other safety measures you can take to ensure that your home is electrically safe."
The National Fire Protection Association estimates 47,700 home structure fires reported to U.S. fire departments each year involve some type of electrical failure or malfunction as a factor contributing to ignition. These fires result in 418 civilian deaths, 1,570 civilian injuries and $1.4 billion in property damage. Awareness and education are critical to reduce the incidence of electrical fires, and ESFI sponsors National Electrical Safety Month each May to educate the public.
At Sam Houston Electric Cooperative, we believe one of our most important roles in the community is to educate our members and neighbors about what to do in order to stay safe around electric power. Our website (www.samhouston.net) offers a wealth of information. From our home page, click on "Safety Sense" where you'll find tips to help keep you and your family safe at home, outdoors and even around our Cooperative substations, facilities and equipment.
Educating our Co-op members doesn't just take place online. Our employees visit schools and civic organizations to share safety messages as well.
ESFI encourages the sharing of its campaign resources and developed The National Electrical Safety Month 2015 Electrical Safety Advocate Guide to provide the resources necessary to raise awareness of safe practices. Whether you want to educate a loved one or raise awareness in your community, school or workplace, this guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to be an Electrical Safety Advocate and help champion the cause of minimizing electrically-related deaths and injuries.
Electrical safety awareness and education among consumers, families, employees and communities will prevent electrical fires, injuries and fatalities. For more information about electrical safety and ESFI's education resources, visit www.esfi.org.

The moment you identify something as good or bad, you are just dividing the world.
…sense of happiness is only because other people do not have what they have.
If you are joyful by your own nature, you will be fine with life around you.
Avoiding something is not freedom from it.
Everybody is trying to pull off some deal: some in the market place, another maybe at home, another maybe in the temple, and a few maybe even with their spiritual process, but everybody is trying to pull off some kind of a deal. When you get a good deal, you are all very civilized and nice but if a deal goes bad, you will yell and scream. Deals may sometimes boomerang in your face.

The NOMAD Syncrate Hoodie is the ultimate mid-weight ½ zip hunting fleece hood. From early to late season this windproof, water resistant fleece was developed to protect hunter from the elements. Featuring a two secure front pockets, pit zips and safety harness port this bonded fleece was built to perform. Know that you are 100% prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws your way. Gear built by hunters for hunters.
You can't hunt when you are wet and cold.
To stay dry, you need outer-wear that has an exterior with a DWR finish. Without a DWR, the outerwear's exterior becomes waterlogged and heavy.
When you hunt in cold weather, you don't want to wear material (like cotton) that can pool sweat and leave your body exposed to cold temperatures that's uncomfortable, but can even lead to dangerous conditions like hypothermia.
To battle this issue, we use synthetic materials with the peculiar ability to draw moisture away from the skin to the exterior of the equipment. This process is called wicking or moisture management.
The key to this is the material's hydrophobic, or 'water-hating' chemical quality within the microfibers of the fabric. These microfibers transport sweat to drier areas – from the skin to the exterior of the clothing where it can evaporate more easily. This process not only moves moisture, but also pulls salt from perspiration as well, eliminating an abrasive byproduct from perspiration. This is what the term breath-ability means – that your equipment can exhale moisture away from your body.
The drier you are, the easier it is to regulate your temperature, the more focused you can be on your quarry.

We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.
Power, Torque & IPM
All cordless tools rely on battery power, but when you're dealing with tough bolts and nuts, torque is arguably the most important power factor. Impacts Per Minute (IPM)–the number of times the wrench "hits" the nut or bolt–is another useful guide.
Weight & Build
A top cordless impact wrench isn't necessarily the lightest tool in your box. However, good ergonomics make usage more comfortable, especially if you plan to work your wrench for long periods. Because these tools endure quite a bit of abuse, build quality is vital for durability.
Features & Warranty
From multiple speeds to LED lights that help illuminate dark corners, each tool sports unique features that make it stand out. Given how hard these tools work, warranty length is also a factor worth your consideration.
The best impact wrenches aren't cheap, but they're good at what they do. So good, in fact, that it's difficult to separate our final five. In this section of our ratings, we look at feedback from owners and evaluate each wrench in terms of both price and real-world quality.
DEWALT DCF899P1 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque
Before we delve into the details, a quick note about torque. The term "torque" is surprisingly difficult to define. That's because several factors–diameter of bolt, thread depth, and so on–each make a difference. Every manufacturer quotes impressive torque figures, but each has its own way of measuring those figures. Unfortunately, no common standards exist in the measurement of torque. Maximums are useful for general comparison, but these figures shouldn't be taken as a precise measure.
The DEWALT DCF899P1 runs a 20-volt brushless motor rated at five amp hours. While there's little practical difference between the 18- and 20-volt motors used by all of our top impact wrenches, brushless motors are more efficient than older brush motors because the latter suffers energy loss through the heat generated. Historically, brushless motors have been considerably more expensive, but as we'll see later, this isn't always the case.
"Amp hours" (Ah) is another term that's difficult to define precisely, but in real-world terms, the higher the number, the longer the device can maintain peak performance. When it comes to Ah, the DeWalt outperforms everything else here. Torque figures are also impressive, though they're not extraordinary in this company. Breakaway torque–the initial force needed to get the nut or bolt moving–is 1,200 foot pounds (ft.lbs.) with a maximum of 700 ft.lbs. in normal use. It generates 2,400 impacts per minute (IPM).
Makita XWT04M 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless High Torque Impact Wrench Kit
The Makita XWT04M LXT's 18-volt brush motor is rated for four amp hours. That's less than the DEWALT, but while the drive unit may not be quite as efficient, it still delivers plenty of power. Makita quotes a torque value of 325 ft.lbs., which is just a fraction of the torque generated by the DEWALT. But this doesn't mean the Makita is weak. Rather, it underlines what we've said about how torque figures are calculated differently by different manufacturers. Our research turned up no complaints from owners about lack of torque or power in general. In fact, we found quite the opposite: the majority of owners love their Makita. IPM is rated at 2,200.
Bosch IWBH182-01L 18-volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Pin Detent Impact Wrench
Like the Makita, the Bosch IWBH182-01L sports an 18-volt motor rated for four amp hours. In this case, however, the motor is brushless. The manufacturer points out that the motor never needs maintenance and that it should last longer because of its construction. When it comes to torque, Bosch quotes in inch pounds (in.lbs.) rather than ft.lbs. That figure is 1,650. As there are 12 in.lbs. for every ft.lb., that translates to a figure of 137.5 ft.lbs. for the Bosch–the lowest in our review so far. We don't understand why, but the manufacturer claims that this tool is the most powerful impact driver in its class. We do know that, as with the Makita, you'd struggle to find anyone who thinks badly of its performance. IPM is 3,200.
Ingersoll Rand W7150-K1 1/2" Hi-Torque Impact One Battery Kit
Ingersoll Rand is one of the best-known names in this sector. The company has manufactured excellent air-powered impact wrenches for decades. You'd expect their cordless W7150-K1 to encompass that reputation and experience, and it does. But in terms of numbers, its 20-volt, three-Ah brush motor is by no means the most impressive here. It does, however, generate 1,100 ft.lbs. of "nut-busting" torque and up to 780 ft.lbs. normally. IPM is also competitive at 2,300.
Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 1/2" Inch Impact Wrench
Our final choice, the Milwaukee 2763-22 M18, is another with an 18-volt brushless motor. Like many others in this sector, it sports a power rating of four Ah. Just like Bosch, Milwaukee likes to emphasize the advantages this kind of power unit offers: cool running and more efficient power transfer. It certainly delivers competitive figures for torque, quoting the same "nut-busting" 1,100 ft.lbs as the Ingersoll Rand and a similar tightening number of 700 ft.lbs. When it comes to IPM, it's right up there with the best at 3,200.
An impact wrench needs to be robust. Because of this requirement, the typical tool is quite big and heavy. The DeWalt is roughly 10 x 10.5 inches and weighs a little over six pounds, so it's certainly no lightweight. However, it's not particularly large when compared to its rivals.
As you'd expect from a company with DEWALT's stellar reputation, the DCF899P1 is made very well. Thanks to its protective shielding, it will survive a drop of six to eight inches. This model has a detent pin anvil for socket retention rather than a hog (or friction) ring. Opinion is divided as to which is best: the detent offers more positive grip, and the hog ring offers faster changing. In general, less-experienced mechanics go for the former, while professionals choose the latter.
Those who have only seen the Makita in pictures (where it looks quite slender) or read the manufacturer's description of it as "compact" might be surprised by the sight of it. It measures roughly 12 x 11 inches and weighs over six pounds, so it's a substantial tool. It's another model with high-quality components and finish throughout, and though the manufacturer doesn't ascribe a "drop height," they do say that the handle will absorb shock if you let it go. Socket retention is by way of a friction ring.
You won't find an impact wrench much smaller than the Bosch, which is nine inches tall and under six inches from front to back. At just 3.6 pounds, it's also among the lightest in its class. Bosch focuses on this aspect of the tool, pointing out that the grip has a small diameter with desirable ergonomics. Whether that's true will depend on your physical size, but it could well be important if you have small hands. Sockets attach via a sloped pin detent, which is designed to be both fast and secure.
Ingersoll Rand has designed many professional-grade tools for busy workshops. As such, the rugged, fuss-free look of this cordless impact wrench comes as no surprise. The manufacturer's claim that it's the shortest impact wrench in its class must be taken in context. It's actually about 9.5 x 11.5 inches–far bigger than the Bosch. (It must be remembered that the Ingersoll Rand and the Bosch are aimed at different markets!) The Ingersoll Rand weighs 6.8 pounds and has a friction ring anvil. We like the fact that the impact mechanism's aluminum casing offers plenty of protection.
At a little over 10 x 8 inches and a weight of 6.2 pounds, the purposeful-looking Milwaukee sits somewhere in the middle of our impact wrench review in terms of size and weight. Once again, we have all-metal protection at the business end, reflecting the manufacturer's reputation for tough quality. Whether you get one for home use or not, Milwaukee definitely wants the public to see this tool as something a professional would choose. This approach carries through to the Milwaukee's socket retention, which is by way of a friction ring.

DEWALT DCF899P1 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque
With a brand like DEWALT, you expect useful features. This impact wrench doesn't disappoint. Features include an LED work light to brighten dark corners, a battery charge indicator (they call it a "fuel gauge"), and three speeds: 400, 1200, and 1900 rpm. The majority of impact wrenches demand good trigger control from the user because the power is "full on." The DEWALT gives those with less experience more control by allowing them to back off the power. This package also includes a nice tool bag, a charger, and one battery. The warranty lasts for three years, but we recommend that you read the fine print. (This applies to all warranties for all impact wrenches!)
Makita XWT04M 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless High Torque Impact Wrench Kit
One of the Makita's coolest features is the rocker switch trigger. Rather than fiddling with a different button for forward and reverse, you simply press the upper or lower part of the lever. This is a single-speed tool. Aside from the handy belt loop, the rest of the features are standard fare: an LED light, a charger, and a sturdy canvas bag to hold everything. Notably, Makita throws in two batteries instead of just one. This is definitely a benefit, though it's important to compare prices to see what it would cost to buy an extra battery for those impact wrench kits that only include one. Purchase of the Makita includes a three-year warranty.
Bosch IWBH182-01L 18-volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Pin Detent Impact Wrench
Bosch has a reputation for advanced electronics, and that's certainly an area they emphasize here. With three speeds, this impact wrench has a "Performance Control System" which is particularly valuable to the kind of owner it's aimed at. The selected speed is shown by a set of indicators at the base. (Some owners have mistaken these indicators for a battery charge indicator.) There's an LED, a belt loop, two batteries, and a sturdy case for the charger. Unusually, the Bosch's warranty lasts just one year.
Ingersoll Rand W7150-K1 1/2" Hi-Torque Impact One Battery Kit
The Ingersoll Rand is a purposeful, professional tool. The patent-pending soft grip handle is designed to reduce vibration, which is a valuable benefit. However, that's it for the "bells and whistles." There's no LED, no multiple speeds, and no belt loop. You get a single battery, a charger, and a tough, blow moulded case. Like most of its rivals, the Ingersoll Rand's warranty lasts three years.
Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 1/2" Inch Impact Wrench
It seems that Milwaukee is aiming to position its impact wrench somewhere between the professional-grade Ingersoll Rand and the consumer-oriented Bosch. It's certainly tough, but Milwaukee also draws attention to its "Redlink Plus Intelligence" (which basically means there are two speeds to choose from) and "Redlithium battery technology" (which is claimed to offer a longer run time). Apart from the usual LED, the manufacturer includes a charger, two batteries, and a solid case with purchase. In line with the majority of other impact wrenches, the warranty lasts for three years.
DEWALT DCF899P1 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque
DEWALT's quality means they're never the budget brand, but at a price of $349, this wrench delivers an excellent competitive value. It's got plenty of power for those who want to push it to the limit and multiple speeds for those who require flexibility. It's big, but the handle is quite slim, and owners say the ergonomics are fine. Indeed, feedback is overwhelmingly positive; this tool receives one of the highest satisfaction ratings of any tool we reviewed.
Makita XWT04M 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless High Torque Impact Wrench Kit
It's difficult to criticize the $418 Makita impact wrench. Indeed, it's a popular choice among consumers. But while it offers two batteries where others include only one, some of the technology isn't as up-to-date as we'd like. (It's a brush motor, and it runs at just one speed.) A few owners don't like how large it is (you might struggle in tight spaces), but nobody complains about a lack of power. Compared to the other winning impact wrenches on this list, you might find a better deal for your money elsewhere.
Bosch IWBH182-01L 18-volt Brushless 1/2-Inch Pin Detent Impact Wrench
If you're looking for a compact impact wrench, you'll struggle to find one better than the Bosch. At a cost of $319, it's a terrific value. Perhaps it doesn't deliver the high performance of some competitors, but not everyone needs to crack huge wheel nuts off giant earth movers. The only complaint from owners is that it's pretty loud. (Then again, none of these tools are what you'd call "quiet.") Other than that, it's almost impossible to find anyone with a bad word to say about it.
Ingersoll Rand W7150-K1 1/2" Hi-Torque Impact One Battery Kit
You'll see Ingersoll Rand air wrenches in workshops everywhere. They are, without question, one of the market leaders. For just $318, you can have Ingersoll Rand's cordless impact wrench and benefit from all the experience and quality that goes into their "pro" tools. OK, so it's a bit basic, but almost everyone who bought one is delighted with it. There have been a couple reports of battery problems, and some consumers don't like the position of the forward/reverse switch. However, many owners rave about the Ingersoll Rand's tremendous torque and how long it runs before it needs recharging.
Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 1/2" Inch Impact Wrench
Milwaukee has a reputation for making tools at the premium end of the market. As such, the $355 price tag on their impact wrench comes as no surprise. That's still competitive, and for your money, you get a comprehensive kit that receives rave reviews from testers and owners alike. Owners have registered a few complaints about defects, but not recently, so we wonder if this was a production issue that's been resolved. The overwhelming majority of owner comments are positive. Many people say the Milwaukee is a wonderful alternative to professional air tools.
The Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 offers phenomenal torque, great build quality, and the convenience of a cordless tool.
