The Wheel, and the Enormity of Time Edit
by J. Host, 11.12.03
"...Universe man, He's got a watch with a minute hand, Millennium hand and an eon hand....." From Particle Man, by They Might be Giants
One part of my spirituality is the recognition of the huge spans of time and space that we are embedded in. At first, we can only understand spans of time like those in our everyday experience. As we learn and grow, we can start to use tools to understand other spans of time, both shorter and longer than we are used to. Nested cycles, like those of the second, minute and hour hands, make it easy to see where we are in a longer span of time, such as a day. This can be extended to help us envision shorter spans of time by thinking of the number of the short spans needed to add up to a span of time we can imagine, like, say, a second. For instance, many atoms at room temperature vibrate about ten thousand times in the time it takes a radio wave to go though one cycle. It takes about a hundred million of those radio waves to add up to one beat of a hummingbird's wing, and about a hundred of those wingbeats are needed to add up to a full second.
If we were to extend this idea to longer time spans as well, and make a watch like Universe man's watch, it could have several more hands on it. It could have hands for the month, the year, our life span (about 80 years), longer cycles like the planet's wobble (26,000 years), and a really long one, such as the 220 million year cycle of the rotation of the sun around the black hole at the center of the galaxy.
I use some of these to remind myself my current place in time, and to keep history in proper chronological perspective. Acknowledging the traditional 8 Pagan holidays on the wheel of the year keeps the year from slipping by without notice, and occasionally noticing where I am on the wheel of life helps keep me from letting my life slip by without notice. Similarly, noticing where others are on the wheel of life (instead of just their age) reminds me of the rich lifespan stretching out before infants, as well as the wealth of experience in the minds of our wise elders.
For the longer time scales, thinking of all of these cycles on a wheel, like the wheel of the year, helps anchor me to this grand story that has been playing out since the formation of the earth. For instance, it has been about one fifth of one cycle of the earth's wobble since the construction of Stonehenge was started, and about one half of one of those cycles since my "native" American ancestors came to America from Asia. Or, about 80 wobble cycles since our primate ancestors began to resemble humans. That's less than 1% of one trip around the black hole. Going back about a quarter of a trip around the black hole gets us back to the extinction of most of the dinosaurs (those that didn't evolve into birds). The age of dinosaurs had just begun the last time our solar system was where it is now on it's orbit around the black hole. Our sun has made over 20 trips around the galaxy like this, and the universe existed for many billions of years before that.
I know that I'll be around for only another 50 or so rotations of the earth around the sun, less than 0.2 % of a wobble of the earth, and less than one millionth of a trip around the black hole. I can't complain about the brevity of that time, because at the same time, it is more than three times the average dog's lifespan, and over 1000 times as long as some insects live. In that time, the wonder of life, the glory of this universe, and the love of family and friends is more than enough to make me happy and grateful. Even a single wonderful moment can bring about this feeling - I hope that we've all experienced that. One experience like that happened to me when my 2 year old child fell asleep clinging to my chest. As I sat there looking down at the beautiful face, I realized that this feeling was so wonderful, that if I was told I would die the next day, my life would still have been a wonderful thing.
Time stretches on into the future as well as the past. What will the world look like in just 1000 years, about 4% of a wobble? There probably won't be a United States - few nations have survived nearly that long. What about the next time this wobble brings polaris back into it's place as the north star, in 26,000 years? Will there be nations and governments? Will there still be humans on earth in a million years (40 wobbles, or 1/200th of a trip around the black hole)? Even then, time will continue. It will be about another 30 or so trips around the black hole before the sun expands and destroys the earth, even longer than it has been since the earth formed.
Hold on, my brain is starting to hurt. Wouldn't it be easier to put all these cycles in a diagram (like the watch with an "eon" hand), so they can be seen instead of just imagined? For example, let's use right now, 8:15 PM on November 17, 2003.
Picture the concentric rings in your mind. The "hand" for the quickest cycles (such as the atomic vibrations) is just a blur. In the "1 Day" ring, the cycle is almost complete because it is evening, and the day will be done at midnight (that hand is at about 8 o'clock). Similarly, being November, the year is almost done (that hand is at about 11 o'clock). My life is (hopefully!) only about 40% finished (that hand is at about 5 o'clock), and the sun is also still a good ways off from it's end (that hand is at about 4 o'clock).
Experiencing my life, and seeing my life and the life of others go by is wonderful, sad, joyful, and amazing at the same time. Linking this to the immense scale of time that has passed, and the vast stretches of time that will follow fills me with awe as I wonder what exactly has been, and what will be. How many lives like my own have my ancestors experienced? How many lives will the children of tomorrow experience? This mountain of lives and stories is stunning. It also puts daily worries in their proper perspective, and helps me keep from sweating the small stuff. The saying is true - it's all small stuff.

For many people, Tai Chi is a confusing practice. Some people claim it is a method of self-defence, others say it is a form of meditation, whilst others yet claim it is a health art. The truth is, it is all of these and none of them. Confused? Don't worry, that's why this mini-course is going to help you see things clearly.
With over 25 years of teaching experience I have seen many people start Tai Chi without knowing anything at all about the art. Sometimes that is fine, sometimes it is not.
If you would like to know the basics of the art before signing up to a class or online course, then this is for you.
By the end you may not be able to levitate, live as an immortal nor defeat Donnie Yen in a street fight, but you should at least know what Tai Chi is and whether it is a practice you wish to pursue.
I've been teaching Tai Chi and languages since the early 1990's in both the United Kingdom and in Spain. I've also written numerous books on Tai Chi, recorded videos and many podcasts (iTunes - Empty Your Cup). Over these years I learnt that learning Tai Chi is really about communication. If you can communicate the lessons in an interesting and challenging way - using body, speech, gestures and the power of images and music - then anyone can learn this art.
If anyone can learn it, then anyone can pass on those skills to others. Thus, over time, our efforts become immortalised. But there is something else that happens in Tai Chi that contributes to longevity, and that is the slowing down of time. We begin to notice the smaller things in life, the things that others step over, step around or don't even see at all. And in so doing, our senses awaken.
This is the experience I want to share with you on this adventure. An exploration of our senses and of time. An exploration into the rich history, practice and philosophy of Tai Chi. .

Re-igniting the Spark of Flight – The Discovery Flight, by Christian Lienemann
by christian lienemann on Mar.02, 2011, under Articles, Aviation, General, Video of the day
Part 2 of business owner Christian Lienemann's story follows below. An asterisk (*) after a word denotes that it is being defined at the bottom of the article, for those of you who are not that familiar with some of the terms we use as pilots. Christian is a great ambassador for aviation and every pilot should follow his example of promoting aviation to friends and relatives.
I have composed a waiting list of customers who want to experience a Discovery Flight.
The list ranges from a middle age nun, to a young guy who knew the name and type of every airplane picture I showed him (even the extensive album in my company computer!) and more.
Those I take up are always full of questions and shocked that the answers they get do not match what they have seen on TV. After they relax a little, I can only describe their expressions as either shock or awe. I go as far as to let them lightly hold the yoke with me and take a picture of them assisting in level flight.
Within in a week, I send them a Discovery Flight certificate, all filled out with their name, date, time, and the aircraft they just flew. I also enclose a color picture of them in the air. One customer's wife told me he framed it and put it on his desk. These discovery flights help keeping aviation well and alive and I ask everyone to pay it forward!
Now I realize that I am taking on a large responsibility by simply introducing my customers to their first flight. So I wanted to do it right (or as right as I possibly could). I did a little research and discovered how the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) perform their Young Eagle flights for children. AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) also have a section on the subject, along with several other great aviation blogs (like this one).
I could fill a few pages with what I have found on the internet, and all of it would be recommended reading. But the short of it is simply this; make it as comfortable as you can for your passenger – both mentally and physically.
Shallow banks when you turn, no stalls*or practice maneuvers, pick a smooth day, (that is not a pressure cooker!) and make it short and sweet. Usually thirty minutes is more than ample. The reward is worth its weight in gold.
I usually meet my new passengers at the airport, and give them a quick rundown and answer questions before and after the flight. I found it was hard for them to keep a sterile cockpit* close to the non tower airport* Hammond Northore Regional Airport, simply because they had more questions that kept popping up.
Many times they forget we are on an open comm system and comment aloud with things like "Wow!" or "This is GREAT!" Then they realize they said it aloud (because its playing in their ears). They then would look over at me and I just give them a smile.
You have to take human nature into account also. One woman I took up was just in awe that we didn't fall out of the sky, like she thought would happen from watching the news. Finally she relaxed and really enjoyed the experience. That is all the way up to the landing part.
I flared* and made one of the best landings I have ever made! (The kind you wish your flight instructor was witness to). It was such a greaser, I was a little shocked when the nose wheel lightly set down. I have included a link here of a video which shows one of my landings.
I looked over to see her gleeful expression and was shocked at what I witnessed. She was white as a sheet, and scowling like she had a mouth full of lemons.
After a short and easy taxi*, I had to inquire. Towards the end of my landing, she heard the stall horn* (realizing it had to be a warning sound like her smoke detector at home ). She just knew at any minute we were going to be engulfed in flames. (If you are keeping score, that's evening news two, and pilot one!) Yes I tried to explain how we land aircraft and how an aircraft has to transition from flight to being ground bound.
Some of the color was returning to her face, But her expression told me the adrenaline she was experiencing was only letting part of my explanation sink in. The stall horn is now on my passenger pre-flight briefing. It is always better to let your passengers know ahead of time what they can expect if it is a new experience for them.
A non-towered airport, sometimes referred to as an uncontrolled airport, is an airport with no operating tower. The vast majority of the more than 15,000 airports in the US are non-towered. At untowered airports, instead of taking instructions from a tower controller, aircraft follow standard procedures, which includes radio reporting procedures and standard traffic patterns to be followed.
Taxi: To taxi an airplane means to move it slowly on the ground or on the surface of the water before takeoff or after landing.
Sterile cockpit: The Sterile Cockpit Rule is an FAA regulation requiring pilots to refrain from non-essential activities during critical phases of flight, such as the landing phase.
Stall: In flying, a "stall" is a condition which occurs when there is not enough forward speed for the wings to keep the aircraft flying. The airflow over the wing gets disturbed and thus causes the airplane to lose altitude. A pilot can stall an airplane inadvertently or on purpose. When it is done on purpose, it is usually done to train pilots to recognize the signs of accidental stalls and develop the ability to safely bring the airplane out of a stall should it ever occur. An intentional stall is usually done a few feet over the ground when landing the airplane to bring the airplane down to the ground at the lowest possible speed. Click here for a short video which illustrates a stall.
Stall horn (or stall warning horn): A stall warning is an electronic or mechanical device which sounds an audible warning as the stall speed is approached. Just before an airport touches down on the runway, you can usually hear the stall horn as it slowing down.
Flare: The landing flare is when an airplane transitions from downward flight to a more level flight just before touching down. A properly performed flare will result in the aircraft touching down gently at the lowest possible speed.
Re-igniting the Spark of Flight, by Christian Lienemann
by christian lienemann on Feb.28, 2011, under Articles, Aviation, General
The General Aviation community consists of individuals from all walks of life who all share the dream of flying. The article below was written by an Auto Repair shop owner in Metraire, Lousiana, Christian Lienemann, who finally made his lifelong dream of wanting to become a pilot a reality. It was a life changing event for him and he now owns his own airplane and enjoys sharing his passion for aviation with customers and other people he meet. Thank you Christian for sharing this experience with all of us!
RE-IGNITING THE SPARK OF FLIGHT (Part 1 of 2), by Christian Lienemann
By no means am I the next living legend in aviation. I am, however, the little General Aviation (GA) pilot who loves to share the joy of flight with my willing (and sometimes nervous) customers.
My aviation story is just like that of many pilots. I wanted to fly all my life, but like so many others before me, life had different plans. I took my first ride in a Cessna 172 when I was seventeen years old and from that point never stopped looking towards the sky. I did, however, fly any and every home flight simulator I could find and a vast array of radio controlled (r/c) aircraft as well!
Fast forward twenty eight years, I found an article in one of my many aviation publications, talking about the new Light Sport Pilot category, a new type of pilot license that had just been approved by the FAA, simplifying the process of getting your initial Pilot's license.
One week later, I found myself at the controls of an Evektor Sports Star aircraft, flying around the patch with my new flight instructor in tow. (Now this guy is a candidate for a living aviation legend, with more than 10,000 flight hours!) So under his watchful eye he transferred the flight controls over to this flight simulator baby. I pulled muscles in my face I didn't know I had with a smile so big, it took a week to look normal again. Â The flight bug hit me again, and so hard I just couldn't stop.
Every Saturday for a year (weather permitting) I flew that little bird. I took my check ride for my Sport's Pilot license in her also. It was the examiner's first time in this aircraft type and he was impressed!
I then found a nice little Beechcraft, BE-77 Skipper (the smallest they ever made), in New York.
I flew commercially to look at her. One week later, my newly found A&P (Aircraft and Power plant mechanic) ferried her to her new home in Louisiana. Every Saturday for another year (same weather permitting) – same great flight instructor, I took my Private Pilot check ride in her. The examiner had some time in this type, and again was impressed with my little BE-77. That smile came back again! My mother always would tell me it's going to get stuck that way!
My beautiful (and understanding) wife and I own a five bay Auto Mechanic shop in Metairie, Louisiana. We are just making a go of it, as I'm sure many of your readers are, in today's market. So Monday through Friday, I'm under someone's vehicle dreaming about the flying weekend to come. In my little office/customer waiting room, the walls are covered with pictures of the things I enjoy in life. They range from customers and their cars, to funny newspaper clippings, events I have attended and (you guessed it) airplanes!
I always offer my customers a seat, but they are usually so busy trying to take it all in that their vehicle is usually ready before they are. I answer many questions about their cars, but I also answer many questions about the pictures as well.
The most common and first question is "Do you fly?" Well, yes I do, I say, "I always wanted to do that" ( the most common statement after the question).
My reply, "Today is your lucky day….."
(Part 2 to follow.)

In the November election, Congressman Mike Ferguson (R-7) narrowly defeated Assemblywoman Linda Stender in a race that was much closer than any pundit predicted. In response to the closeness of the race, Congressman Ferguson stated that the voters of his District spoke in the November elections, he heard them and will heed their call for change. However, when asked what the voters wanted changed, Congressman Ferguson said only that the voters wanted a change in Iraq. The Congressman still doesn't get it.

This is part 7 in an 8 part series about my discoveries, inspiration and creations with Don Giannatti's 8 Week Portrait Class.
Well known celebrity photographer, Dan Winters, is this weeks portraiture inspiration. Whether he is shooting editorial for The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly or Rolling Stone; or ad campaigns for the likes of Nike and Microsoft, Winters has created a signature style. The muted tones and interesting lighting setups using black flags combined with the expressions that his subjects display, is quite mesmerising.
Technical intuition is vital for Winters. Learning about light and the physical laws of light so he knows what he can do and predict what is going to happen is key. This allows him to concentrate on important elements of the photograph mainly being the relationship between the subject and photographer and his "appropriate response to the assignment".
In many of Winters' portraits, the subject is not looking directly at the camera. He says this tends to make the viewer more comfortable, allowing you to look and study the photograph without being voyeuristic. He also likes to create a setting for the subject that is intimate and calm.
Looking though Winters' body of work, I was inspired by many of his photographs in simple settings and sometimes using props like a scruffy old chair. This was the inspiration for the first image. Simple lighting, a beautiful subject called Cassie, and a scruffy old chair. I was also inspired to recreate a film technique called cross processing in the digital darkroom which I used more in the second image of Daisy, the very talented dancer who modelled for me last week. There is so much depth to Winters portraits, something I am interested in continuing to study and work with. Huge thanks again to Daisy and this week's model Cassie, who did a fantastic job. More images will be on the way from this shoot in the future.

It's tricky isn't it, getting the drop shadows right on digital layouts? I know I'm only a beginner when it comes to digital scrapping, but it's not easy...When is a little, too little? And when is a lot, too much? How much shadow to use for different elements... But I'm definitely learning and making progress so that makes me happy. :) And I got some great advice from some Lilypad friends on this layout.
[Supplies: "Vintage Papers" by Nancy Comelab, "Messy Taped Frames" by Amy Martin, "Messy Taped Words" by Amy Martin, "Fancy Reefs" by Jenna Desai, "Funky Waves" by Jenna Desai, "Beaded Fancies" by Amy Martin, "Sandy Alpha" by Amy Martin and "Summer Alpha Squares" by Natalie Braxton - all from the Lilypad June BYOC]
Wow that was a long supply list LOL! I hope I didn't forget anything/one. It's a great collab so it was really hard picking what to use :)

Hi Anso,
Love the layout! Looks really really great! Love the background paper too!
Quick question, how do you easily resize objects (ie pics) in Photoshop - I have the CS2 version, but they all seem very similar...

When visiting a country, you must not only enjoy its beauty but its culture too. Sydney hotels with balcony are the best ways to do it. Accordingly, Australia is rich in panoramic views that you can visit anytime. In Sydney Harbour Bridge, it particularly boasts hotels that speak of the country's history and sceneries.
If you are visiting Australia soon, you must listen to these amazing advantages of getting hotels with balconies. These are not only good for travelers but also for Sydney wedding venues and others because of its location, amenities and more.
- Experience Sydney Bridge Harbour
How many times have you visited Australia? If you did for several times already, you are still missing out a lot. You might have been to the Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour, or Great Barrier Reef. These landmarks are the most visited places but people just pass by them. They only take lots of pictures then leave for another afterward. These will not bring your closer to the country's heritage despite so many visits.
Unlike, if you will stay in Sydney Harbour Bridge hotels, you will not only enjoy the amazing views but also get acquainted well with it. You can do a lot of things in here even while on a balcony. After a long tiring day of walks and visits, you can lounge on the place while sipping something. It is a great moment to spend some time with the place while relaxing.
Your eyes will feast your eyes on the great steel-arch across Port Jackson. This Australian landmark was opened in 1932 that serves as the transportation link between Sydney Harbour accommodations and its northern harbour. It is one of the longest steel bridges in the world still as of today. There are railroad tracks, highway and pedestrian walkways here.
- Panoramic Views
With windows only, your sight is limited to see anything. The Sydney hotels with a harbour view are a gate to experiencing new things in Australia. It is designed for travelers to be comfortable while taking advantage of the new experience. There's no better way to take in all these sights while having your feet up with a nice room service.
- Australian Air anytime you want it
Sydney Harbour Bridge Hotels are becoming one of the most sought-after locations in the world right now. Many travelers are not using this one as a venue for sleeping and relaxing but also for lots more reason.
Wedding venues in Sydney are another thing that you could have here. Because of these hotels location, the scenery is really excellent here. There is Australian air anytime and anywhere you want. In the room, you can spend time for preparation with the bridge's panoramic view while downstairs is a great venue for any occasion.

Region. Compulsory land acquisition
The Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) said the NSW government must look at compulsory land acquisition to solve Sydney's housing shortage. The 2012 UDIA State of the Land Report said fragmented land ownership was making development unviable across much of the south-west growth area designated for new housing in Sydney.

Photo Friday #24, 25 & 26 – i'm a bit behind
So almost a month later, here are 3 weeks worth of photo Friday so I'm doubling the pics hah. We've been working on house stuff and wedding videos so I think we have a good excuse…plus there are only about 3 people who actually read this blog so I'm not too worried 🙂
First off, the Del Mar Fair – our yearly free wine tasting fun!
The gentleman making fun of the ginormous crap you can win
Next up, Bottle Peak…the highest point in Escondido where you can see all of Escondido. Here we are with the newly engaged Tony and Fei!!
A word of advice…don't go when it's boiling hot like we did and don't go when there is poison oak EVERYWHERE! I don't know how but none of us got it!
Last, our country's Independence Day. We took it easy and chilled with the Paulsons and some awesome carne asada and a not so awesome dessert (a new recipe I tried that looked delicious but didn't taste quite right, I'm still not sure what happened! So no photo/recipe of that!)
Then we headed over to Grape Day Park (I've always gone to the SM show) and Ryan picked us a wonderful spot! The entire show was behind those trees. HAHA lovely!

I'm glad to see you're caught up on your photo fridays! I guess I must be one of the three that checks the blog religiously 😉
I showed Matt the fireworks picture and I don't think I've seen him laugh so hard in a while…as far as making memories goes, I think that's a chart-topper. You get to see fireworks every year on July 4th, but how often do you get to watch a tree with fireworks behind it? And how high up will this rank on your memorable July 4th fireworks experiences? I'd guess this is one of the few fireworks experiences you'll be telling your kids about some day…I think your friend Ryan totally knows what's up.
July 11, 2009 - 5:18 am
that fireworks picture totally made me laugh! Good times!
July 15, 2009 - 2:30 pm
Yay, I am number 3!

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
By Sara Hansard
States will step forward to request waivers from Obamacare even if Congress doesn't act to repeal the law or stabilize the health insurance markets.
That was the assessment at a Capitol Hill briefing Sept. 19 by officials with the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, state insurance regulators, and a group that represents employer plans and other interested parties. Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act allows states to apply for waivers of major provisions of the law as long as the proposals don't increase the federal deficit but still protect consumers.
Making changes to the Section 1332 waiver process has been a focus of efforts by leaders of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to quickly craft narrow, bipartisan legislation to help stabilize the troubled 2018 ACA exchanges, where premiums could go up nearly 20 percent and nearly half of all counties are likely to have only one plan. "Waivers can definitely stabilize markets, but the waivers would be more effective if Congress and the administration acted" to make it easier for states to get the waivers, Joel White, president of the Council for Affordable Health Coverage, said at the briefing.
The House's American Health Care Act ( H.R. 1628) passed in May and the Senate's Better Care Reconciliation Act considered by the Senate both included changes to Section 1332. The provision allows states to apply to the Department of Health and Human Services for approval to waive major parts of the law, including essential health benefit coverage requirements, the actuarial value of claims covered, financial assistance for consumers, the individual and employer mandates for coverage, as well as whether consumers can buy plans outside of exchanges, White said.
To receive approval for the waivers, states must enact legislation and go through a lengthy application process demonstrating that their changes will result in coverage at least as comprehensive, cover as many people, and be as affordable as coverage without the waivers, and won't increase the federal deficit.
Hawaii and Alaska have received approval for their 1332 waivers, and Minnesota, Iowa, and Oregon have submitted applications to the HHS. Ten states have enacted 1332 legislation, White said. Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Arkansas, New Hampshire, Maine, and Nebraska are considering applying for waivers, according to White and Brian Webb, assistant director for health policy and legislation for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
Some things can't be waived, including the requirement that people with medical problems be covered without charging more, limits on how much more older people can be charged compared with young people, prohibitions on annual and lifetime limits, and the requirement that plans allow young adults to stay on parents' plans until age 26, Webb said.
States are looking at how their exchanges work, how subsidies should be allocated, the medical loss ratio requirement that plans spend at least 80 percent of premiums on claims or quality improvements, and actuarial value requirements, Webb said.
Alaska's waiver creating a reinsurance program is serving as a model for other states, Webb said. The program covers enrollees with the costliest claims in the state's exchange and has resulted in lower premiums and savings to the federal government from lower premium tax credit subsidies, he said.
Iowa and Oklahoma have applied for broader waivers, Webb said. Those states are proposing changing the way subsidies are allocated, getting rid of the exchanges, and changing the essential health benefit requirement, Webb said.
Many states don't have the money to set up their own reinsurance programs as Alaska did, Webb said. In addition to shortening the process, states would like to see repealed the requirement that legislation be passed, and they would like to be able to use waivers approved for other states as templates for their own applications, Webb said.
But Kris Haltmeyer, vice president of legislative and regulatory policy for the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, expressed concerns about repealing the requirement that state legislation be enacted in order for 1332 waivers to be approved. "When states have to pass a law there's some level of public debate about what's included in that law," he said. "Having that public approval is one of those controls to make sure that states are really doing things that will benefit the market overall and benefit consumers rather than things that just seem politically attractive."
Changing subsidies so that young people can get more tax credit subsidies, which is what Iowa and Oklahoma are proposing, would result in more young people buying coverage, Haltmeyer said. The exchanges have suffered from high numbers of sicker enrollees and not enough young people, which have led to heavy losses by insurers and many insurers leaving the markets.
But there are limits on how much flexibility should be given regarding the 10 categories of essential health benefits that must be covered under the ACA, Haltmeyer said. "When you start modifying the categories of covered services, there's a real potential for risk adjustment not to function in a market, and for health plans to start competing again based on risk selection and the way they design their products," he said.
The ACA includes a risk adjustment program, under which plans that cover sicker enrollees receive payments from plans that cover healthier people.

For more information contact AMPCO Parking at (408) 277-3145. General Parking Information:
Bicylce Parking Bicycle Access to/through the Airport: The ongoing construction at the Airport, including the recent roadway changes, can be challenging for bicyclists to navigate. Both the Airport, in its terminal-area design planning, and the City, in its Guadalupe River recreational trail planning, are considering how to provide bicycle access in and through the east side of the Airport. Recently, the City of San Jose approved funds to be included as part of the development of an overall Roadway Master Plan for the Airport. These plans are still in the early phases. However, they do include the proposed use of the Water District's future levee maintenance road along the west side of the river (south from the rental car lot bridge) as a designated bike/pedestrian path. In the meantime, the Airport Flyer bus (VTA #10) can be used to shuttle bicyclists through this area.
Bike racks are located at the south end of Terminal C, adjacent to the USO building and the Hourly Parking Lot. At Terminal A, the bike racks are located on the left-hand side of the vehicle entry area to the Parking Garage and in the area between the exit doors from the south end of baggage claim and the terminal curb. Preview the bicycle rack locations on our interactive maps at Inside the Airport. Select the Customer Service icon in either Terminal. Due to security concerns, there are no bicycle storage facilities at the Airport.
Parking Garage Vehicle Clearance
The Terminal A parking garage has an entry clearance of 8'0" to accommodate heightened vehicles that utilize mobility aids. There are several disabled parking spots in the entry area, with a limited number of non-restricted spaces. The remainder of the facility has a clearance of 7'0".
Inter-Terminal Shuttles
Our courtesy shuttles make a continuous loop of Terminal A, Terminal C, and the parking lots. A new shuttle departs each designated stopping point approximately every 10 minutes from 5 a.m. - 12 mid. From 12 mid - 5 a.m., shuttle buses continue to make a constant loop of the terminals and the parking lots on a reduced schedule.

Tory MP Mark Pritchard will face no further action over a rape allegation, Metropolitan Police have confirmed.
The Wrekin MP was initially arrested after voluntarily attending a London police station on December 2. He was released on bail to return today, where he was informed he would face no further action.
A police spokesman said: "A 48-year-old man voluntarily attended a north London police station on Tuesday, December 2 where he was arrested, following an allegation of rape in central London.
"He returned on bail on January 6 where he was informed he will face no further action as there was insufficient evidence."
Pritchard is expected to make a statement later today.
Pritchard, who entered the Commons in 2005 after a career in marketing, has been a prominent figure on the Eurosceptic wing of the Conservative Party.
He served as secretary of the powerful Tory 1922 committee for two years until 2012, and is a member of Parliament's joint national security strategy committee.
Before his arrest, Pritchard was in the House taking part in a debate on the peace process in Colombia.
Last September, Pritchard disclosed that he had been targeted by a journalist as part of the sting that led to Tory minister Brooks Newmark resigning over explicit selfies.
He has apparently withdrawn a complaint to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) after agreeing a confidential settlement.

Royal Bank of Canada personnel in the Cayman Islands on 15 January welcomed more than 1,800 RBC employees from around the world and their guests to Grand Cayman.
The visiting group travelled to the island aboard the Celebrity Constellation cruise ship as part of a company staff incentive convention. The cruise liner was chartered by the Canadian bank to treat top performing employees from around the world.
"By including Cayman on the conventions port of call list, RBC helped to further expose our tourism product," said Stran Bodden, chief officer in the Cayman Islands Ministry of Tourism. "Not only did these participants get to experience Cayman but we gained a platform to introduce our country to a large group of business travellers, many of whom we hope will return with their families for future visits."
To give the cruisers the full Caymanian experience, the bank arranged to have a few local representatives greet the visitors at the north terminal in George Town. Guests were then invited to attend a Cayman-style welcome party in the parking lot of Cayman RBC's main branch on Shedden Road. At the gathering, the group experienced local cuisine and crafts along with performances by the University College of the Cayman Islands Performing Arts Programme.
The college programme put on a cultural show that included dance, steel pan and a choir performance. As performing arts studies at the university are growing, RBC donated US$10,000 to the programme on behalf of the visiting professionals. The donation was given to UCCI President Roy Bodden by Suresh Sucokoo, CEO, Caribbean banking for RBC; as well as Harriett Thornhill, regional president, personal banking for RBC and Mitzie Bailey, manager, customer service and operations, RBC Cayman.
"Recognition is a very important part of RBC's culture," Mrs. Bailey said. "We reward our employees for outstanding job performance on a consistent basis and are pleased that we can participate in the recognition of employees from around the world with this celebratory event. Our very own Client Care Manager, Basil Scott and his guest was among those also travelled on the cruise."
More than 70,000 RBC employees from around the world participate in RBC's Reward and Recognition program. The all-expenses paid convention cruise is the top award in the programme.

"Do you have your 5?"
And I hope your answer can be "Yes, we have 5 service projects planned for each of the 6 service areas! Thank you for asking!"
I so believe that Activity can grow your membership and even more importantly the amount of service your council delivers to our Church and your local communities, that we will be focusing the efforts of our State Service Directors to help Grand Knights plan for a high level of Activity in their Council's Event Calendars. This program is just one of the tools that we will deliver to help you accomplish that planning.
So if you haven't started putting your Council Event Calendar together, Start NOW! Fill in each service area with the events you did last year, some of the ideas within this brochure, Activity Ideas on our State and Supreme websites and new ideas that you generated from your own Council Members.
Thank you for all the good work you have and will accomplish this fraternal year!
May God bless you & your Council Family!
Greg Taillon,
State Program Director

* TSX gains 0.27 percent to 12,102.97
* Financial shares up 0.85 pct
* Energy stocks pare early losses (Adds details, paragraphs 11-13)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, April 19 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index ended higher on Monday as financial shares gained on positive U.S. earnings and economic data, and commodity stocks pared early losses triggered by last week's fraud charges against Goldman Sachs.
The charges against the Wall Street financial powerhouse initially shook equity and commodity markets for a second consecutive session, and took the Toronto index down nearly 1 percent to its lowest level in more than three weeks.
But heavily weighted financial shares helped draw the index into positive territory late in the session, supported by expectation-beating results from U.S. bank Citigroup (C.N) and a larger than expected gain in an index of leading U.S. economic indicators. [ID:nN19175994] [ID:nN19163699]
Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO), the country's largest lender, gained 0.99 percent to C$62, and No. 2 Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO) rose 1.1 percent to C$76.97. Overall, the financial sector gained 0.85 percent.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE ended up 32.31 points, or 0.27 percent, at 12,102.97. Half of its 10 sectors were higher.
There was also relief that no new lawsuits against other big banks emerged on Monday, and market players were able to focus on corporate results and the economic recovery.
"The lack of any additional news today has made people a little bit more comfortable that this won't turn into a large number of lawsuits against a large number of firms," said Kate Warne, Canadian market strategist at Edward Jones in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Goldman news and resulting risk aversion initially weighed on price of oil, pulling it below $82 a barrel, sending energy shares sharply lower at the start of the day.
But the energy group pared nearly all its losses by day's end, finishing down 0.06 percent.
Shares of Suncor Energy Inc (SU.TO), Canada's biggest oil company, rebounded to end up 1.19 percent at C$34.05, while Nexen NXY.TO was up 1.32 percent at C$26.14.
Warne said earnings continue to be a key focus as investors assess whether companies are delivering solid results to back up the economic recovery and whether the outlook is positive.
Airline stocks were also in focus as the ash cloud from Iceland's volcano brushed up against Canada's East Coast on Monday. However, airlines said domestic flight cancellations were mostly because of fog in the region. [ID:nN19219075]
Major airlines reversed early weakness with Air Canada ACa.TO ending ahead 0.4 percent at C$2.51, while WestJet Airlines (WJA.TO) was up 0.74 percent at C$13.60.

text: KURDWATCH, July 12, 2012—On June 28, 2012, armed units of the Democratic Union Party's (PYD) People's Protection Committees kidnapped the cousins Nafiʿ and Kusan ʿAdil Shahin in ʿAyn al‑ʿArab (Kobanî). On the same day, members of the Botan Bage tribe, of which both the kidnapped victims were members, stormed the state-run tobacco company Riji, which the PYD had turned into a prison; the prisoners were freed. Representatives from both sides fired into the air. Afterwards, the PYD demanded that the prisoners be handed over or that a payment of five million Syrian lira be made.

Important Notice About Pricing of Lighter Human Hair Colors :
Darker shades of our human hair colors are more closely related to the original color of our hair from India and China. Our factories can process this hair to make various darker hair colors without too much difficulty. However, our factories have now increased our costs for processing lighter hair colors offered by our company. This is due to the extra time, products and educated craftsmanship required to achieve quality hair colors with the least amount of abuse to the hair structure/cuticle. Therefore, you will notice a slightly higher selling price if you should choose one of the lighter hair colors. Thank you for your understanding.

Chelsea routed Aston Villa 4-0 at Villa Park, sending the home side even closer to the predicted relegation from the Premier League.
A brace of goals from Perdo and debut strikes from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and from Pato saw off the side rooted firmly justifiably at the bottom of the league.
The sight of Pato coming on for injured Loic Remy brought the biggest cheer from the Chelsea faithful who doubted the on-loan striker would ever make his debut.
He slotted home coolly from the penalty spot to make his mark.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek sent the Londoners on their way with a smartly taken strike, his first league goal for the Blues and Pedro's double, one a poacher's strike from an acute angle, the second a sniffer goal after excellent set-up play by Oscar sealed an emphatic victory.
A muted Villa Park greeted both sets of fans as Chelsea gave a debut to American Matt Miazga.
The 20-year-old, 6ft 4 in had a very uncomfortable start, twice beaten in the air by Rudy Gestede.
But it was the Londoners who had the first effort on goal Pedro, clipping the top area of the side netting with a right-footed curler from just outside the Villa penalty area.
Gestede forced Courtois into a spiller of a save on 15 minutes, but he managed to snaffle up the rebound.
Pedro did show some wonderful skill to bring down a long ball and hook it over Brad Guzan into the net, but the Spain wide man was yards offside.
Alexandre Pato entered the fray, replacing injured Loic Remy on 22 minutes.
The on-loan Brazil striker, finally making his debut for the Blue.
The Chelsea fans acknowledged the even, with renditions of "we forgot that you were here" emphasising the fact that Pato, a January signing, had yet to feature after 64 days at Stamford Bridge..
That substitution seems to galvanised the Blues who took the lead on 26 minutes through the low drive of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, from eight yards out, who latched onto a cross from Cesar Azpilicueta.
It was the youngster's. first league goal for the Blues.
The Blues doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time through the penalty spot.
Fabregas sent in a regulation ball into the Villa penalty area, Aly Cissokho just fell over Pato, sending the striker to the ground.
A clear penalty. Up stepped the striker, he dusted himself down and coolly rammed the ball home, past Brad Guzan.
Chelsea replaced ineffectual Kenedy with Oscar at half-time and he made an immediate impact, 54 seconds to be accurate to set up a wonderful one-two with Pedro who slotted home to notch up number three for the visitors from just inside the Villa penalty area.
Number four came on 59 minutes when Guzan spilled a weak Pato shot and sniffer Pedro was on hand to slide the ball in from a tight angle.
This one-sided game got even worse for relegation-haunted Villa when right-back Alan Hutton picked up two silly yellow cards and was promptly sent to the stands with five minutes left on the clock.
Boos rang round Villa Park At the end of the game.
Bye, bye Villa Park

Summer is always a very controversial season. Some of us are waiting for it during the whole year, looking for the heat, the sea and the shirt skirts. Other people pray for winter fresh air and frosty days when summer comes. But it is hard to doubt that summer is a great time of lemonade, tanned bodies, ice-cream dropping on our shorts and… melting cars.

Abstract Details
Back to Poster listing
The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of OZil probe in hard cataract surgery.
Examination was conducted at the Ophthalmology Clinic, Clinical Center Niš and in the 'Eye Vision Center Maja' - Niš
We followed 500 operated eyes in 415 patients. All the patients were operated by an experienced surgeon and did not present any other ocular or systemic diseases. Cataracts were classified by using the Lens Opacities Classification System III and they were all of grade 4. Out of total number of eyes, 240 were operated using the Alcon Legacy apparatus (Group I), and 260 using the Alcon Infiniti apparatus with OZil probe (Group II). Intraoperative monitoring included: ultrasound time (UST), duration of the surgery and conversion rates. Postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central corneal thickness (CCT) were determined after 1, 7 and 30 days.
The mean surgical duration in Group I was 15,3 +/-4.3 minutes, and in Group II 8,6 +/-2.5 minutes. UST in Group I was 0,8-5,4 min, with the mean value of 1,3 min, while UST in Group II was 0,4-1,0 min, with the mean value of 0,6 min. The conversion rate in Group I was 38, but in Group II the conversion was not required. BCVA and CCT showed statistical significance in favour of OZil probe for days 1 and 7, but after 30 days no statistical significance was registered.
OZil probe is an efficient, fast and safe handpiece in management of hard cataracts. FINANCIAL INTEREST: NONE

We already know that Toronto is a city that likes its beer, especially craft beer. But another beverage on the up and up in Toronto is cider. We now have Canada's first bar dedicated to the bubbly beverage (which we'll get to) and there are numerous bars across the city that offer a wide selection of craft ciders from Ontario and around the world, whether on tap or in bottles or both. So it's safe to say that cider is staking its claim alongside beer, and craft cider can now even be found in various Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstores.
And I'm also willing to bet there will be even more cider-centric places popping up in the next little while and if so, I'll be sure to update this post.
From pubs to restaurants to smaller bars, it's not hard to find a place to get your cider fix in Toronto and here are 10 to add to your list.
1. Her Father's Cider Bar & Kitchen
Canada's first cider bar opened in Toronto in May and it was an instant hit with interest continuing to grow. The welcoming, light-filled space in Harbord Village serves more than 80 types of cider by the bottle as well as having 12 rotating taps of Ontario craft ciders. Ciders are broken into five categories: dry, semi-sweet, sweet and specialty ciders, fruit and infused ciders and pear and ice ciders. If you're overwhelmed about what to try – don't be. Helpful staff will put together a flight for you based on your flavour preferences.
You're likely to find more than a few ciders you fall in love with here. I know I did and I can't wait to head back to try more.
2. The Craft Brasserie & Grille
This sprawling pub in Liberty Village serves up an extensive menu of beers, but cider fans will also be happy to know that there are three ciders on tap including West Avenue Heritage Dry, Spirit Tree Estate Draught Cider and Spirit Tree Estate Dry-Hopped Cider. Pair your cider with something from the large menu of salads, flatbreads, sandwiches and pub favourites.
3. Tequila Bookworm
Queen West's Tequila Bookworm exclusively serves Ontario produced beer, wine and cider so you won't find any Strongbow cider here. Imported beverages have their place, but instead, cider-wise at Tequila Bookworm you can expect the bar to always have two local ciders on tap (what's available varies) and a good selection of ciders in bottles and cans. This is a cozy space, perfect for a date night or catching up with friends over a few drinks.
Grab a seat at one of the communal tables at this King West restaurant that specializes in craft beer, cider and artisanal sausages and feel as if you've stepped into a lively German beer hall. Choose from 25 different sausages including three vegetarian options and pair it with a cider of which there are more than 20 in bottles from Ontario, California, Vermont, France and Spain. Ciders on tap rotate regularly – check out WVRST on Twitter to keep up on what's available.
5. Barhop
Barhop and its second location, Barhop Brewco are known city-wide for their impressive beer list, which includes 36 craft beers on tap as well as rotating cask selections and a mind-boggling array of bottles. But cider fans will also find lots of options to choose from, including several in bottles and three or four on tap, of which the selection changes weekly. Check their website for the full list updated weekly.
6. Bier Markt
This is another beer-focused venue that hasn't forgot about all the cider lovers out there. There are four Toronto locations to choose from including one in Etobicoke and you're in the mood for cider you can choose from several in bottles and on tap. A cider is usually part of their feature taps and the "sweet and sour" beer flight even includes two ciders: Brickworks Ciderhouse Batch: 1904 Cider Rekorderlig Passionfruit Cider.
7. Bar Begonia
The latest restaurant in the growing eatery empire from chef Anthony Rose (Fat Pasha, Big Crow, Rose and Sons, etc.) is Bar Begonia, which opened up in a space on Dupont St. that sat empty for years. The Parisian-style cocktail bar in the Annex carries several ciders in bottles and cans including ciders from Ontario (West Avenue, Rebel Cider, Empire Cider) and some from France and Spain. Bar Begonia also boasts a pretty side patio as well as a bocce court in the back for summer game time fun.
8. The Only Café
The Only Café on the Danforth has been in the business of serving beer for over 30 years and not just any beer. Their focus has always been on craft and fine imported beers of which they carry over 230 bottles and cans as well as 25 local craft brews on tap. Not to be a bar to neglect cider fans, The Only has several rotating ciders on tap, the current count is five. These include ciders from West Avenue, Spirit Tree, Revel and Twin Pines Orchards.
9. The Queen and Beaver Public House
In addition to stocking an impressive beer list and scratch-making most of what they serve, The Queen and Beaver Public House also serves up some ciders for anyone looking for a spot to sip their go-to beverage. You can expect Pommie's Farmhouse Cider on tap as well as Spirit Tree Cider and West Avenue Heritage Dry in bottles.
10. Bar Volo
Bar Volo might be closing up its original location soon, but they'll be setting up shop in a new space so you won't have to worry about missing out on their mind-blowing roster of beverages, one that includes 20+ rotating regional beers, wines and ciders on tap along with six traditional cask-conditioned ales and a selection of rare bottled beers and ciders. The ciders they have available vary according to the season, but expect what's on offer to be rare and hard to find.

Redhat's init scripts don't work anything like the apachectl script, and trying to call one from the other causes the exact problem you mention - loss of environment variables, and all round weirdness. Apachectl is simply a way of starting httpd, it is certainly not the only way, and is definitely not the way you start if if you're on a Redhat derived platform. Regards, Graham --
