High cost service area fee for freight shipments
Viewing This Product
Shipping companies charge fees for high cost service areas
There are some high cost service areas, where the shipping companies charge us high fees for freight deliveries. This is especially true for Manhattan, where the charges can be really high, and we are not able to include those in the free shipping.
The shipping company will charge us this fee for freight deliveries to all following Manhattan area zip codes: 10000 through 10499, and 11000 through 11999.
Why are these fees being charged?
In short, freight shipments are usually delivered via big trucks, and big trucks are not practical in Manhattan. The shipping companies need to change the shipments to smaller vehicles, and that increases the logistical complexity. That in turn increases the shipping price.
I don't want to pay this much for shipping! Are there alternatives?
Yes! The cheapest option is to have the shipment delivered to the nearest shipping terminal. For Manhattan the closest options may be these two:
UPS freight terminal in Brooklyn
UPS freight terminal in New Jersey

Dental Veneers and Dental Laminates Albuquerque, NM
A dental veneer is a porcelain shell that dental professionals can customize to enhance the size, shape and shade of a tooth. Dental veneers are a commonly offered dental restoration at Family & Cosmetic Dental Design.
If you have chipped, discolored or crooked teeth and want to change them, then dental veneers may be the solution you are looking for. Consisting of a thin porcelain shell, dental veneers can blend in with your surrounding teeth for a uniform appearance. While altering the size, shape and shade of your teeth, we can also prevent further damage to the surface of the tooth.
Far too often, people will try to avoid seeking professional dental treatment and live with damaged or crooked teeth. By avoiding treatment, people are only increasing the chance of pain or infection. A chipped tooth can risk exposing the inside of the tooth, causing pain when eating, drinking or biting down on something.
By investing in a dental veneer treatment, we can help you change the size, shape and shade of your teeth for your specific needs.
What is a Dental Veneer?
A veneer is a thin shell that is made out of porcelain or ceramic. The shade of the veneer, along with its shape and size will be made to match your surrounding teeth so that it blends in perfectly.
How is a Dental Veneer Used?
We can accomplish a variety of things using dental veneers. By placing veneers on top of the teeth, we can close gaps, make teeth even in length, cover dark stains and create a uniform looking smile. In this way, veneers can create a smile that rivals the most famous Hollywood stars. The nice thing is that you do not have to be famous to improve your smile. You simply need to call 505-359-2289 and schedule an appointment to see Dr. Forde.
Albuquerque, New Mexico Veneers
We also use dental veneers for restorations. When teeth become cracked, chipped or broken, a veneer can restore the tooth to its full functionality. As long as the tooth structure is intact, we can restore the appearance of a tooth while making it possible to eat and speak without feeling any discomfort.
The Procedure
When patients visit our Family & Cosmetic Dental Design offices, we will take an impression of their teeth to create the veneers in a lab. The veneers will match the size, shape, and color of your teeth, taking a week or more to create.
In order to place dental veneers, we will first prepare your tooth by removing a portion of the enamel. This helps the veneer lay flat and in line with your gum tissue. After preparing the tooth, we will secure a temporary veneer using removable glue. While wearing a temporary veneer, it is important to brush your teeth gently and avoid eating any foods that may push it out of place. Since it is secured by removable glue, it can be moved fairly easily.
When your permanent veneers are ready, you will come back into our Family & Cosmetic Dental Design offices so that we can remove the temporary and ensure that the new veneer is a perfect fit. It is typically attached using a water based solution to see how it looks. If any adjustments need to be made, it will be done at this time. Otherwise, the tooth will be cleaned, and the dental veneer will be bonded to the tooth. Patients will enjoy how the results look. They are instant, and you can start flashing your smile right away.
After the Procedure
Your teeth will typically be sore for a few days after the preparation phase and after placing the permanent veneers. During this time, you can take pain medication to help you stay comfortable. Patients can also benefit from getting rest and using a cold compress to reduce any swelling. We recommend that patients watch what they eat for a few days and stick with foods that are soft. While there is a short recovery time when getting veneers, the procedure is entirely worth it because in the end, you will have a beautiful smile.
Benefits of Dental Veneers
One main benefit of veneers that patients enjoy is how the veneers make their teeth look. This procedure is an excellent solution, since the veneers can transform your smile into one that looks perfect and beautiful. The veneer uses your natural teeth, so there is no need for surgery, and the recovery time is reduced. Since the veneers are made to match your other teeth, they will look natural, and no one will be able to tell that you had any cosmetic dentistry work completed. Another benefit is that they are made out of a stain resistant material. This means that your teeth will stay whiter and brighter, even if your favorite beverage is a hot cup of coffee. We can use dental veneers to transform your smile.

The Downside
As with most cosmetic procedures, there can be some discomfort associated with getting dental veneers installed. This is to be expected, however, we do our best to keep patients comfortable during the procedure so that you will not experience any pain while the veneers are being placed or your teeth are being prepared. The process can take several weeks so there will be a period where you need to be careful about what you eat and what activities you engage in. In other words, do not play football after getting temporary veneers placed onto your teeth. You should schedule the procedure for a time where you will be close to home and able to take easy.

Support for InterWiki links
(since 0.10)
An InterWiki link can be used for referring to a Wiki page located in another Wiki system, and by extension, to any object located in any other Web application, provided a simple URL mapping can be done.
At the extreme, InterWiki prefixes can even be used to simply introduce links to new protocols, such as tsvn: used by TortoiseSvn.
Link Syntax
The link is composed by the targeted Wiki (or system) name, followed by a colon (e.g. MeatBall:), followed by a page specification in the target. Note that, as for InterTrac prefixes, InterWiki prefixes are case insensitive.
The target Wiki URL is looked up in the InterMapTxt wiki page, modelled after MeatBall:InterMapTxt.
In addition to traditional InterWiki links, where the target is simply appended to the URL, Trac supports parametric InterWiki URLs: identifiers $1, $2, ... in the URL will be replaced by corresponding arguments. The argument list is formed by splitting the page identifier using the ":" separator.
If the following is an excerpt of the InterMapTxt page:
= InterMapTxt = == This is the place for defining InterWiki prefixes == Currently active prefixes: [[InterWiki]] This page is modelled after the MeatBall:InterMapTxt page. In addition, an optional comment is allowed after the mapping. ---- {{{ PEP http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html # Python Enhancement Proposal $1 Trac-ML http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.general/$1 # Message $1 in Trac Mailing List tsvn tsvn: # Interact with TortoiseSvn ...

- MoinMoin:InterWikiMap should be rendered as MoinMoin:InterWikiMap and the title for that link would be "InterWikiMap in MoinMoin"
- Trac-ML:4346 should be rendered as Trac-ML:4346 and the title for that link would be "Message 4346 in Trac Mailing List"

Have you ever opened your mail and found a traffic ticket sticking you with a not-so-small fine? If so, your reaction might well have been, "What the [expletive]?"
Then maybe you looked carefully at the enclosed photo and realized the vehicle shown (allegedly) running a red light or speeding was, in fact, yours.
Join the outrage coming from hundreds of communities using red-light and speed cameras, which, to many an angry driver, seem to be lurking everywhere. Automated photo enforcement has gained wide support among local officials as a proven method of reducing collisions and enforcing traffic laws, freeing officers to respond to more serious crimes.
Since their broad introduction in the late 1990s, the devices are now used in 661 cities and towns across 24 states, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
But if enforcement cameras are all the rage for roads, blowback from drivers is the new road rage.
Motorists bemoaning an intrusion of Big Brother have filed lawsuits claiming that photo enforcement is unconstitutional because it shifts the government's burden of proof to drivers who must prove they are innocent. They cite mechanical failures that produced erroneous tickets in San Francisco and elsewhere. And some hostility has boiled over and led to the vandalism of cameras in cities across the world.
By far, most drivers criticize the large sums of money generated by fines. Opponents say red-light cameras actually increase the number of accidents, making the devices little more than cash machines for camera manufacturers and financially strapped governments. And they question the motives of some pro-camera safety groups that receive funding from camera companies.
"Cameras aren't about safety; they are about revenue," says Michael Kubosh of Houston, whose decision to intentionally run a red light as a protest ignited opposition and led to a 2010 voter referendum dumping the city's camera program. After settling a lawsuit brought by the company that supplied the cameras, Houston finally shut off the cameras this year.
"We got really concerned that these cameras were going to be taking a picture of everything, even of me when I go home to see if I'm treating my wife right," Kubosh says. "I'm a person who believes in personal liberties."
As a rule, it doesn't take much to tick off drivers, but on this issue, the zeitgeist is producing results. In roughly 24 cities in nine states, voters have passed ballot initiatives rejecting cameras, with decisions passing in eight of the cities last year alone. Also last year, the Los Angeles police commission voted to end the city's program.
In Congress, the surface transportation bill drafted by House Republicans includes a ban on the local use of federal funds to pay for enforcement cameras.
Big Money Behind The Camera
But communities are raking in millions of dollars in ticketed fines, which can range from $100 to $300 and often double if not paid within 30 days. It's a godsend for governments searching for new revenue to plug budget holes.
In Chicago, the success of red-light cameras, which brought in $69 million in 2010, persuaded the city to recently expand to speed cameras — projected to ring up $150 million in revenue the first year, according to one estimate.
In Houston, city officials denied that their support of cameras was motivated by money. Yet one state lawmaker from Houston admitted in a local radio interview that he voted for a bill authorizing the camera program at the behest of city officials and despite believing "it's really a revenue source."
A study by the consumer advocacy group U.S. PIRG addressed the financial incentives behind camera programs. PIRG found that many contracts between local governments and camera companies require the parties to divide revenue from fines. Some contracts mandate the narrowest duration of yellow lights, preventing governments from lengthening the time — which could reduce the number of violators ticketed.
"In other words," the study states, "the more tickets a camera system issues, the more profit the vendor collects."
In addition, some groups that promote camera enforcement programs receive funding from the camera manufacturers. For instance, the National Coalition for Safer Roads draws some of its support from one of the nation's biggest vendors, Arizona-based American Traffic Solutions, which had supplied Houston's cameras.
Do Cameras Reduce Accidents?
Red-light cameras came years before speed cameras and are used in far greater numbers. They also have been the subject of volumes of research, with most results slicing data to both support and undermine the effectiveness of the devices.
The Federal Highway Administration has found that red-light cameras reduce red-light violations and broadside, or T-bone, crashes, the most common and dangerous collisions at intersections (especially involving vehicles making left turns).
Last year, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety compared big cities with and without red-light cameras and determined that the devices reduced the rate of fatal crashes due to red-light violations by 24 percent. The study also found a 17 percent reduction in fatal accidents caused by other factors.
"The research is conclusive that they make intersections safer," says Jackie Gillan, president of the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, one of the strongest proponents of photo enforcement. "If you run a red light and put somebody in danger, I think a ticket is a small price to pay."
Gillan also discloses that "about 10 years ago, I was hit broadside by a guy who ran a red light. I had shoulder surgery and a year of therapy. So I have no sympathy."
Opponents note that the same two reports — in addition to others — also concluded that red-light cameras increase the number of rear-end accidents caused when people suddenly brake to avoid tickets.
Longer Yellow Lights
The National Motorists Association, a leading group opposed to the cameras, advocates the use of alternatives it says would more effectively reduce both accidents and red-light violations, such as lengthening the duration of yellow lights.
The group has launched a campaign to urge communities to try its recommended "engineering solutions." If the alternatives don't reduce red-light violations by 50 percent, the motorists association has promised to give any community $10,000 for other traffic-safety programs.
Any takers so far?
"Not a one," says National Motorists Association spokesman John Bowman. "The next question to ask, then, is what does that really tell you about the motivations of cities that are running these programs?"
Gillen, of the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, declined to address such alternatives but says she couldn't think of any as accurate as cameras: "When you're taken to an emergency room, everybody wants the latest technology to save their lives. Well, this is the latest technology to save your life."

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.
There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do.
Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart. You experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile.
Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." ― Bob Marley

Bethany Tully might have been forgiven for her confusion. After canceling an upcoming flight from San Francisco to Boston under unhappy circumstances, she discovered that her ticket credit on United Airlines was worth about half what she expected — an increasingly common complaint among air travelers.
Earlier this year, Tully, a chef based in San Francisco, had booked three tickets on Hotwire.com to visit a close friend. "Tragedy struck just before the trip," she says. "He committed suicide."
A Hotwire representative assured the grief-stricken customer that she didn't need to worry. "I was told that I could cancel the tickets and Hotwire would issue a full credit to be used within 12 months," says Tully. "But I have tried numerous times to use the credits — one being for his funeral service — with no luck."
Tully found herself in a common situation, at least among infrequent air travelers. Ticket refund rules are confusing. Mostly, though, passengers want to know what they can do to avoid a situation like Tully's: stuck with a ticket credit that's worth far less than they expected.
United Airlines' refund policy
The preferred solution, as far as United is concerned, would be for a customer like Tully to purchase a fully refundable ticket. A nonrefundable round-trip flight booked seven days in advance on United cost $467. But a fully refundable ticket would have set her back $1,961, or a little more than four times as much as the restricted fare, which isn't unusual. That makes buying a more flexible ticket an option for only the most affluent air travelers.
United allows passengers to use part of their ticket credit for a future flight, minus a $200 change fee and any fare differential. So how about a refund on compassionate grounds?
"Nonrefundable tickets are nonrefundable," says United spokesman Charles Hobart.
Another way to protect your ticket purchase is with travel insurance. The typical policy, referred to as a "named peril" policy, covers a variety of events, including a cancellation, delay, emergency medical transportation, loss of baggage and identity theft. But only a few policies cover suicide, according to Linda Kundell, a spokeswoman for the US Travel Insurance Association, a trade group for travel insurance companies. Also, those policies may cover only a non-traveling family member who takes his own life, not a friend.
Understanding travel insurance options
"It's important to read the policy carefully," Kundell warns.
Yet another insurance option is a so-called "cancel for any reason" policy, which can cost 10 percent or more of your trip's prepaid, nonrefundable cost, or about twice the cost of a named-peril policy. But that refunds only somewhere between 70 and 80 percent of the cost of your trip.
Tully could also have taken her business elsewhere initially, to an airline with a less restrictive refund policy. Southwest Airlines, for example, offered a one-stop from San Francisco to Boston for $377. Had Tully canceled her flight, she could have received a full credit and avoided paying any change fees. JetBlue, which offers direct flights from San Francisco to Boston, had a nonrefundable fare of $472 and a change fee of $150. Tully says that she checked Southwest and JetBlue before she settled on United but that tickets were unavailable for her desired travel dates.
What makes a traveler choose United over Southwest or JetBlue?
United maintains a dominant 46 percent market share in San Francisco, which means that passengers like Tully often have only one real option when they want to fly somewhere. They're probably members of United's frequent-flier program, MileagePlus, and willing to pay more for their flights in exchange for a promise — not always kept — of a "free" ticket to Hawaii or Europe. In other words, their forced loyalty to one airline is prodding them to choose a more expensive and more restrictive ticket.
One of Tully's last options was to appeal to United, hoping that it would waive some of its refund rules or issue a refund, since she no longer had a reason to fly to Boston. She says that she phoned the airline repeatedly but that it never responded to her requests. United has a mixed record on waiving its fees, and its current policy is unclear.
Airline policy confusion
Last year, when I visited the airline's corporate headquarters, United's executives told me that agents had some flexibility in applying the rules. But when I followed up to see whether that policy remained in effect, an airline representative declined to answer my question, saying that a passenger like Tully was welcome to call the airline directly if she had questions about its rules.
Tully turned to Hotwire, the online travel agency that had sold her the ticket. In a series of phone calls, she learned that far from having "nothing" to worry about, her ticket credit came with all kinds of unexpected restrictions, including being non-transferable and not usable for discounted fares. Paradoxically, Tully would have to spend another $600 to take advantage of her credit. (Related: A reader awaits her unused flight credit refund from Expedia, questioning the delay and the partial reimbursement.)
"It was nonsense," she says. What's more, United and Hotwire started pointing fingers at each other when she questioned the rules. "United says it's Hotwire's policy, and Hotwire says it's United's policy," she adds. (Related: My ticket credit is gone.)
I contacted Hotwire to get its side of the story. The company agreed to review Tully's booking and its call records. Garrett Whittemore, a Hotwire representative, says that although the company is simply a booking agent, it holds itself to a "higher standard" when dealing with customers. (Here's how to use your airline credit.)
Airline industry complexity
"Our reps did share the correct information throughout the calls, but we did not go above and beyond to walk Bethany through all the contingencies that she might experience as a result of her desire to cancel, in reference to potential change fees specifically," he says. "She will be receiving a full refund from Hotwire because we feel like we missed an opportunity to educate her on exactly how airline cancellation policies work."
When airline change policies are so complicated and counterintuitive that customers need to be "educated" about them, there's something wrong with the airline industry.

Installation view, Eye for the Sensual: Selections from the Resnick Collection, the Lynda and Stewart Resnick Exhibition Pavilion. Photo: 2010 Museum Associates/LACMA
For all the beautiful sculptures that are present in Eye for the Sensual—closing January 3—only two represent the crossroad of science and art. In the midst of a long tradition of idealization of Greek and Roman mythology, the vestigial longings of a class, there arose a science that documented the conquered and colonized people; and hence ethnography and anthropology or, euphemistically, the science of the "Other." In an effort to gain a commission from the Ethnographic Gallery of the Museum d' Histoire Naturelle in Paris, Charles Cordier submitted the bust of Said Abdallah from the tribe Mayac of Darfour, which was successfully shown in the salon.
Charles Cordier, Said Abdallah from the Tribe of Mayac in the Realm of Darfour, 1848, bronze, collection of Lynda and Stewart Resnick
After the success of a strong proud male, three years later he fashioned the remarkably ravishing African Venus, bestowing the bronze's soft, slightly warm brownish tones, the verisimilitude of her real skin. Her partially open mouth, as if caught before speech, perpetuates her animation in this hard metal.
The pair was shown in the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 (three years after slavery was abolished in France). Queen Victoria purchased the bronzes and eight pairs were cast. They were very popular and copied in many sizes. And though we, today, acknowledge her beauty as exemplary, by nineteenth-century aesthetic standards she was still an alien creature and not unlike the other much exaggerated African Venus, Hottentot, being a physical curiosity and an erotic curiosity. It was a time when sculpture was still based on the neo-classical legacy of whiteness. But that being said, Charles Cordier, later considered to be a key Orientalist, wittingly or unwittingly brings such artistry, honesty, and fidelity—one might even say affection—to the African Venus that no more beautiful sculpture of a black woman has ever been made, that I've seen. The late Hugh Honour, in his master work The Image of Black in Western Art, would quote Cordier late in his career as saying "I was putting a new value into sculpture and creating the study of races, widening the scope of beauty by finding it everywhere."

Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz grew up in Gary, Ind. — a city that has weathered many economic storms over the past half-century.
Stiglitz went on to study at Amherst College and MIT, where he received a Ph.D. in economics. He later served on and chaired President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers and became the chief economist at the World Bank. But even as a child, Stiglitz says, he noticed ways in which the markets weren't working.
"I saw discrimination lead to poverty, I saw episodic high levels of unemployment, I saw business cycles, and I saw all kinds of inequalities," he tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross. "It was clear that America wasn't quite the dream that was depicted in some textbooks, and I wanted to understand why those textbooks were wrong and I wanted really to make a contribution to do something about it."
In his latest book, The Price of Inequality: How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future, Stiglitz argues that widely unequal societies don't function effectively or have stable economies and that even the rich will pay a steep price if economic inequalities continue to worsen.
In the current system, top income earners who make their money through capital gains and stock dividends pay lower effective tax rates than the average person. Those capital gains tax rates were first lowered during the Clinton administration, when Stiglitz led the Council of Economic Advisers.
"I very strongly opposed [lowering the tax rate]," he says. "I thought it was wrong because it increased inequities in our society and it encouraged speculation, and [I thought] that it would not lead to faster real economic growth. And unfortunately, all three of those concerns came to be true. ... And that has led to a period in which the growth of inequality has been higher than it has ever been and led to the kind of instability that led to the great [economic] crisis."
The past 30 years have been markedly different for the middle class, says Stiglitz. Income levels have dropped, and fewer and fewer people are climbing to new income brackets.
"The nature of our growth today is markedly different than in the decades after World War II," he says. "There, we had shared prosperity. More recently, what we've had is exactly the opposite. ... Right now, most Americans are worse off than they were 15 years ago. There has not been shared prosperity."
Interview Highlights
On lobbying
"People come from Wall Street and go into government and then leave government and go back into Wall Street. When you have this kind of revolving door, it's not just that their interests are not well-aligned with the public; it's that their mindset is captured by the industry from which they come. They see their interest — the interest of Wall Street — as if it were in the public interest. We call that cognitive capture. But you also see it through campaign contributions which affect both the administration and Congress. It's the interaction of the two which is so strong. Because the administration might say, 'Oh, we think we ought to do it differently, but we won't be able to get it through Congress.' Unfortunately, some parts of the administration are so influenced by the financial sector that they take a more active role and see the world through the eyes of the financial sector. There used to be an expression, 'What's good for General Motors is good for the United States and vice versa.' I think increasingly, given the strength of the financial sector, many thought, 'What was good for the financial sector was good for the economy.' And they're obviously wrong in their judgment."
On President Clinton's decision to lower the capital gains tax rate
"The Republicans controlled Congress, and he wanted, like any president, to show that he was doing something. The view among some of the political advisers was that doing something was better than doing nothing. My view was that doing something that was wrong was worse than doing nothing. And unfortunately that was one of those instances where the political advisers won and I think a wrong decision was made."
On tax policy
"I think most Americans today understand that our system isn't fair. One of the roles of the government is to try to make our system fair. And one part of fairness is that everybody ought to pay a fair share of their income in taxes. A basic premise that I think most Americans believe is that if your income is very, very high, you ought to pay at least the same percentage of your income in taxes as somebody whose income is lower. Most Americans would not agree with the view that speculators ought to be taxed half the rate as those who work for an income."
On the 1 percent
"It's a very small group; it's a very elite group of people whose incomes are very high. This 1 percent gets about 20 percent of all of the nation's income. It consists disproportionately of CEOs, of those in the financial sector — but there's an array of other people — high-paid lawyers who help serve the CEOs and those in the financial sector."
On student loans
"Market forces do play a role in shaping inequality, but market forces are shaped by political processes, by legislation that can either give more scope for inequality or restrict it. So, take student loans. Here, it's understandable why poor people understand that their future prospects depend on education. But we've passed a bankruptcy law that totally distorts the market. It allows derivatives to get priority over any other claimants. At the same time, it says students cannot discharge their debt, even in bankruptcy, even if the school that was purportedly supposed to give them an education actually doesn't deliver on what it promised. They wind up without an education, without prospects of a higher education and yet are saddled for the rest of their lives with these student debts. People are graduating with a huge burden — $25,000 is now the average student debt."

Online Casinos Accepting US Players
US citizens who are looking for an online casino still have many options as long as they are willing to shop. There are many reputable online casinos that accept US players. Some of these casinos are the same casinos that have been around for years, but now they are operating under another name. Still others are new ventures from the creators of your favorite online casinos.The US government has attempted to choke off the money supply to offshore casinos. This has made it more and more difficult to make deposits and withdrawals from online casinos. There are still online casinos that accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards from US players. Debit cards work more often than credit cards. Prepaid debit cards are anonymous and are the most reliable way of making deposits and withdrawals.Online casinos that accept US players offer welcome bonuses and other incentives that cannot be found at land based casinos. The most common bonus is the initial deposit bonuses. This is usually a 100% match on your first deposit. Casinos offer this match in order to get you to try their casino. There is much greater competition between casino on the internet. This is because there are a limited number of barriers to entry. There is not a great expense to open a full blown hotel and casino. All you need is a small office, a few employees and license fee for the casino software.Some of the newer online casinos accepting US players have started offering sign up bonuses on the first ten or even twenty deposits. This is done in order to keep the players coming back. It should be obvious that owning an online gambling establishment can be very profitable and allowing US players can only increase profits.Land based casinos have huge overheads and this cuts into their profits. This is pushed down to the player. Not only do US players have to travel to the casino, but they receive worse odds, no sign up bonuses and will have to pay tax if they win a substantial amount. The best bet is online gambling that accept US players.While several of the well known brands of online casinos have withdrawn from the United States market, many have remained and new casinos are being developed. The new competition for US players has revived the bonus structure once reserved for other markets. The more casinos available to US players the better it is for the player. American gamblers have traditionally spent more as a whole than any other market. This makes it appealing for casino operators. In order to bring in more players, they offer higher bonuses and payout rates.Although many of the better known online casinos have decided to pull out of the United States market, there are still places to play and bargains to be found. The size of the US market and the potential income will continue to force competition. This is the definition of the free market economy.

U.S.officials and friends of Chen Guangcheng were stunned by reports Wednesday morning that the blind Chinese human rights activist said he was coerced into leaving the protection of the U.S. embassy in Beijing and is seeking asylum in the U.S. with his family.
Chen told the Associated Press that U.S. officials relayed threats from the Chinese government that his wife would be beaten to death if he did not leave the embassy – an account the State Department vehemently disputes. "At no time did any U.S. official speak to Chen about physical or legal threats to his wife and children," State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said in a statement. "Nor did Chinese officials make any such threats to us."
Chen's interviews with foreign media from his Beijing hospital bed have complicated a delicate and unprecedented diplomatic deal, orchestrated by Chinese and American officials over the last three days, that saw Chen leave the embassy on Wednesday morning after six days under U.S. guard. "I was there. Chen made the decision to leave the Embassy after he knew his family was safe and at the hospital waiting for him, and after twice being asked by [U.S. Ambassador to China Gary] Locke if he was ready to go," said Kurt Campbell, the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, who flew to Beijing over the weekend to handle the negotiations. "He said, 'zou,' – let's go. We were all there as witnesses to his decision, and he hugged and thanked us all."
The State Department is scrambling to clarify the events leading up to the departure after Chen's stunning allegations. "U.S. interlocutors did make clear that if Chen elected to stay in the Embassy, Chinese officials had indicated to us that his family would bereturned to Shandong, and they would lose their opportunity to negotiate for reunification," Nuland said. "And at no point during his time in the Embassy did Chen ever request political asylum in the U.S. At every opportunity, he expressed his desire to stay in China, reunify with his family, continue his education and work for reform in his country. All our diplomacy was directed at putting him in the best possible position to achieve his objectives."
Nuland's comments were backed up by Jerome Cohen, a longtime China legal expert who had advised Chen, a self-trained legal activist, during his 2005 detention for advocating on behalf of women forced to undergo abortions and sterilizations in his province of Shandong. Chen was found guilty of "disturbing traffic" and "destroying property" in 2006–an unusual charge against a blind man who'd been under house arrest since 2005–and Chen and his family were subjected to house arrest and frequent beatings since then. Cohen said he joined negotiations by phone on Monday at Chen's request as "the only person he could trust," to act as Chen's personal advocate in the talks spearheaded by Campbell and Harold Koh, the State Department's legal counsel.
In unprecedented diplomatic negotiations with the Chinese starting Monday, Cohen and his colleagues laid out Chen's options. He could leave and seek asylum in the U.S. while his wife and daughter would likely remain under house arrest in Shandong, or he could choose to stay in China. If he chose the latter, U.S. negotiators would seek assurances from the Chinese government that Chen and his family would not return to the abusive circumstances under which they lived for the last seven years. Cohen advocated a middle path to Chen, based on a deal forged by Chinese activist Ai Weiwei, with whom Cohen has also worked. Chinese officials released Ai from detention last June after 81 days and allowed him to travel freely within Beijing; he recently gave a Skype speech to hundreds of supporters. "Though this solution has caused some problems for the government, they have tolerated it because they know it's better than the international condemnation of locking him up. Ai is showing a kind of path we are trying hard to create, a space between prison and total freedom," Cohen told reporters on a call sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations. "That's a kind of precedent I've talked to Chen about."
Chinese negotiators offered to allow Chen to study law – a long-standing request – at one of seven universities that also have blind institutions – none in Beijing or Shanghai, though two in nearby cities. He would be treated as any other law student, they said, and his family could live with him. His wife, who also has an avid interest in law, reads aloud to Chen. "What restrictions he'll be under in terms of talking to friends, making public statements, writing an opinion on one legal ruling or another remains to be seen," Cohen said. "We want to see this new experiment this daring experiment with China succeed." Koh, Campbell and Cohen sought assurances not just from China's Foreign Ministry, which, Cohen said, has relatively weak powers within China, but also China's national and secret police. They also made it a condition that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama personally back the deal so as to make it more difficult and embarrassing for China to reneg. Cohen said the talks were exceptional in nature. "This isn't 1989. Our bargaining position isn't as strong as it was when Fang Lizhi went to the U.S. embassy," he said. "This is one of the most daring diplomatic arrangements we've ever seen with U.S.-Chinese relations. We think it's the best option and so does Chen."
At least Chen did when Cohen last spoke with him on Tuesday. Cohen said that on Monday night, Chen was undecided and fretful for his family. "I'm very, very fearful. I'm very, very insecure. I'm very uncomfortable," Cohen said Chen told him on Monday. But throughout the talks, Chen maintained that he wanted to remain in China, according to Cohen and U.S. officials, because he didn't want to live without his family and felt he could achieve more in China. "Chen is brilliant and to accept asylum and fade away, that wasn't an appealing option," Cohen said. "He wants this. He told me in the conversations we had in the last couple of days that he wants the rights of any other citizen." By Tuesday, Chen was feeling better about the arrangement and by the time he left the embassy he was comfortable with it, Cohen said.
The reports that Chen now feels coerced took many U.S. officials by surprise. Cohen said that while Chen never told him that anyone threatened his wife, Cohen heard from a friend of Chen's wife on Wednesday morning that local authorities in Shandong had threatened to beat her to death if her husband left the country. Chen told the AP he heard this threat from U.S. officials, but U.S. officials say they had no knowledge of that threat and did not relay it to Chen. "What could've happened when he got to the hospital and met his family his wife told him what had happened and that might have made him regret thedecision," Cohen said. "He may be very susceptible. Here's a man who's had a very skewed perspective, living under a lot of abuse for many years."
"I think the saddest outcome would be if events transpired now that put Chen at war with the U.S. government that represents his only secure support," Cohen said. "It could easily happen through confusion, through confusion being sown that would create distrust between him and the U.S., and then he would just be out there and that would be very, very unfortunate."

The Beautiful Women Project touched every fibre of my being and now I get to add colour to those emotions with every stroke of my colouring pencil – bringing to life the feelings brought to the surface by the images and stories of the Beautiful Women Project.
My 4 yr old son loves his Beautiful Women colouring book! He loves the patterns, shapes and challenge of filling each page with beautiful colours. I love that he is learning by osmosis that beautiful women come in all different shapes and sizes, with their own fascinating and unique stories. A great lesson at any age!
'The Book' is filled with artfully disguised wisdom. It has helped all the recipients for which I bought it as a gift: a psychcologist in the UK who specializes in treatment for women with eating disorders, a teenager with a medical problem, my two daughters and my son in law. It was much appreciated. Thank you.
One of my most loved exhibitions is Cheryl Ann Webster's "Beautiful Women Project". Each of the 120 clay casts of women is exquisitely hand painted by Cheryl Ann. Now to my delight I can relive the Beautiful Women Project, through the series of 3 colouring books, Cheryl Ann has created. 40 creative designs in each book for a wonderful colouring and learning experience. I feel as though I am with these women, as I colour. Thank you, Cheryl Ann!
I got my copy of 'The Book' and I love it. Now I need another copy for my daughter and granddaughters.
Cheryl-Ann captures the very heart of the sculptures in her creative drawings to honour each Beautiful Woman.
I was so impressed with the quality of these colouring books that I bought all my daughters a set too.
I have just read 'The Book' from cover to cover absorbing every word.
I am so enjoying being creative with the colouring pages. I blend colours and smudge over the lines to create my own stories.
My 5 years old twin daughters look through your book ALL the time and it has created a visual for them confirming what my husband and I have always told them that is "everyone looks different under their clothes but we are all beautiful" that's out of the mouth of my five year old babes! How exciting!
I bought 'The Book' and it sits on top of my dresser beside my full size mirror and it continues to remind me everyday that I AM BEAUTIFUL!

Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek, then she continued her way. On her way she met a copy.

Kassiani the Hymnographer
Saint Kassiani [1] was a Byzantine abbess, poet, composer, and hymnographer. She is commemorated by the church on September 7. She is especially known as the composer of the Hymn of Kassiani.
Kassiani is one of the first composers whose scores are both extant and able to be interpreted by modern scholars and musicians. Approximately fifty of her hymns are extant and twenty-three are included in the Orthodox Church liturgical books. The exact number is difficult to assess, as many hymns are ascribed to different authors in different manuscripts and are often identified as anonymous. In addition, some 789 of her non-liturgical verses survive. Many are epigrams or aphorisms called "gnomic verse". An example:
I hate the rich man moaning as if he were poor.
She was born between 805 and 810 in Constantinople into an wealthy family [2] and grew to be exceptionally beautiful and intelligent. Three Byzantine chroniclers, Symeon Metaphrastes, George the Monk (a.k.a. George the Sinner) and Leo the Grammarian, claim that she was a participant in the "bride show" [3] organized for the young bachelor Theophilos the Iconoclast by his stepmother, the Empress Dowager Euphrosyne. Smitten by Kassia's beauty, the young emperor approached her and said: "Through a woman [came forth] the baser [things]", referring to the sin and suffering coming as a result of Eve's transgression. Kassia promptly responded by saying: "And through a woman [came forth] the better [things]", referring to the hope of salvation resulting from the Incarnation of Christ through the Theotokos. According to tradition, the dialogue was:
"Εκ γυναικός τα χείρω." (Ek gynaikós tá cheírō)
"Kαι εκ γυναικός τα κρείττω." (Kaí ek gynaikós tá kreíttō)
His pride wounded by Kassia's terse rebuttal, Theophilos rejected her and chose Theodora as his wife.
The next we hear of Kassiani is that in 843 she founded a monastery in the west of Constantinople, near the Constantinian Walls, and became its first abbess. [4] Although many scholars attribute this to bitterness at having failed to marry Theophilos and becoming Empress, a letter from Theodore the Studite indicates that she had other motivations for wanting a monastic life. She had a close relationship with the nearby monastery of Stoudios, which was to play a central role in re-editing the Byzantine liturgical books in the 9th and 10th centuries, thus ensuring the survival of her work (Kurt Sherry, p. 56).
She wrote many hymns for liturgies; the most famous being the eponymous Hymn of Kassiani, sung every Holy Wednesday (liturgically; actually chanted late in the evening of Holy Tuesday).

Common Treatments
Crowding of the teeth
Patient started treatment at age 11 and wore braces for 26 months. He loves his new smile.
Open bite - Front teeth don't touch
Patient sucked her thumb as a young child. She started treatment at age 13. She had braces and a special appliance — called a crib — to retrain the tongue, for 28 months. Now she can bite the lettuce out of a sandwich.
Deep overbite - Lower front teeth bite into palate
This adult patient, age 25, required braces and jaw surgery to correct his severe overbite, with treatment taking two years. His problem could have been corrected without surgery if he had been treated before he was a teenager.
Missing lateral incisors
This patient's lateral incisors were congenitally missing. She had braces for 20 months to move the teeth into their correct positions, then the missing teeth were replaced with bonded "Maryland" bridges.
Underbite - Lower front teeth in front of upper teeth
Patient's underbite was causing her jaw joint discomfort and excessive wear patterns on her teeth. After about 30 months of treatment starting at age 32, she now finds smiling and chewing much easier.
Spacing of teeth
Patient was bothered by the spaces between his teeth. Braces closed the spaces and gave him an ideal bite in 24 months. Special glued-in retainers help keep the spaces closed.
Overjet - Protruding front teeth
At age ten, patient had a big overjet with the top teeth protruding beyond the bottom. She had two phases of treatment. The first helped her jaws to grow more harmoniously and the second aligned her teeth and bite. At age 13, she was proudly displaying her new smile.
Non-braces treatment
Sometimes braces are not needed to get noticeable improvements in tooth alignment. This patient was first seen at age seven for crowding of the lower permanent teeth. A procedure was performed to reduce the width of the adjacent baby teeth and the permanent incisors aligned on their own in nine months.
Patient's parents were concerned about both aesthetics and the health of the erupting permanent teeth when they brought him to the orthodontist at age eight. The lower front teeth were crowded and touching the palate, and the upper front teeth were extremely displaced from their normal positions. After 12 months of Phase-One treatment with an expander and partial braces, patient's appearance and dental function were vastly improved.

Vernon Hills Chiropractor May Help TMJ
Among the areas of the body that Vernon Hills chiropractors are able to help, many people are surprised to learn that the jaw is on the list. It's easy to associate back pain and neck pain with chiropractic treatment, but people who suffer from TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder in Vernon Hills can also find relief.
What Is TMJ?
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder refers to a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint in the jaw. This joint connects your jaw to your skull, so it stands to reason that if you have issues with the muscles or ligaments that control its movement you may experience problems.
Some common symptoms of TMJ include pain in your jaw, cheek, teeth or front of the ear when you chew or yawn, clicking noises in the jaw, an inability to open your mouth wide or having your jaw lock when you are able to open it. You also may notice that your upper and lower teeth no longer fit together properly when you close your mouth. Some patients experience headaches, hearing issues, dizziness or earaches as part of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.
Causes of TMJ
TMJ has a myriad of potential causes that your Vernon Hills chiropractors will explore when you book your appointment. Some of the known causes of TMJ include serious jaw trauma or dislocation, physical or emotional stress, or even sitting in a dentist's chair for long periods of time with your mouth wide open. The emotional stress doesn't end up causing TMJ on its own, but if you tend to clench your teeth as a result, this may end up causing it. Statistics show that women are four times as likely to suffer from TMJ as men.
Can Chiropractic Help TMJ?
Once your chiropractor confirms that you do have TMJ, you'll be given a treatment plan based on the specifics of your situation. Our team at Integral Medical and Rehabilitation wants to get to the cause of your problem so every angle is explored before a thorough plan is created. Usually, a treatment plan for TMJ will include chiropractic adjustments, special exercises, and possibly heat or ice to lessen pain if it is particularly painful.
If you have any of the symptoms of TMJ, schedule a consultation with a chiropractor as soon as possible. It's also important that you follow any advice or recommendations given during that consultation and subsequent appointments. Every exercise and treatment is designed to remove the underlying cause of the problem and restore your jaw function back to normal.
At Integral Medical and Rehabilitation our team is here to help answer your questions. Please feel free to contact us today.
