Erie County Legislator Lynne Dixon announces there will be a public information session to provide an updated timeline on scheduled repairs for Lake Avenue.
Last month, Legislator Dixon wrote a letter to the Department of Public Works requesting a public information session for an update on the project after the Legislature approved funding in 2016. The letter can be viewed here.
"Many residents are understandably frustrated with the condition of Lake Avenue and the lack of information that has been given," said Legislator Lynne Dixon. "After contacting the administration with these concerns, I look forward to finally getting some answers. While residents have been more than patient, I am hopeful that the commitment to this project will result in not only a safe road, but other infrastructure improvements to the Village of Blasdell that the community will be pleased with."
The information session will be held Thursday, June 14th from 6:15pm - 7:30pm at the Blasdell Elementary School located at 3780 South Park Ave. Members of the Department of Public Works will be present to address questions and concerns from the public.

How to Save Money – Tips on Budgeting
How to Save Money – Tips on Budgeting
Are somebody who is constantly asking yourself 'how should I save my money?' I don't think you are the only one. The majority of men and women in North America are continually asking themselves the very same question. It isn't always simple when you currently have so much to be concerned about on a day to day basis. Sometimes cash matters are ignored. There are several really basic tips on budgeting that I have found out to manage my money that I am going to share with you.
Stop Your Vices:
You're friends and family have more than likely been bothering you about this for years but if you smoke or have some kind of other costly vice it could be time to think about kicking the habit. Not only are the majority of vices unhealthy for you but they all cost plenty of money. By kicking the habit of smoking cigarettes or limiting yourself to only a few of drinks a week you can expect to save 1000's of dollars every single year. If you would like a reward system rather than of actually investing that money make use of it to treat yourself to getaway or a brand new toy.
Have a Garage Sale:
Almost all of us have a lot more than we might need. A garage sale is a fantastic way to address that issue. This is one of the easiest tips on budgeting you can easily go along with. Even if you are able to make a couple of hundred dollars that is money in your wallet and plenty of items you really don't require are gone. As the old statement goes someone else's 'trash' is another persons treasure.
Stay at Home More Often:
Rather than going out to the cinema and paying $40 on the seats and a number of treats, rent a movie, look for some thing entertaining on T.V. or play cards or board games. There are a great deal of things that you can easily do at home that cost next to nothing at all. I have found this is a perfect way to manage my money.
There are so many alternatives for activities that are reasonably priced and fun. There are also several way's to make things you no longer make use of into money. Whenever I sense the urgency to more effectively manage my money I switch to these frugal tips on budgeting. If you would like more information and facts on investing for the future or money saving tips, check through my webpage to receive the free eBook, free budget spreadsheet, free calculators and links to numerous tools. We also have a handful of leaked videos to help with your finances.

Caution: Untested Content
Bugbears feature in the nightmare tales of many races great, hairy beasts that creep through the shadows as quiet as cats. If you walk alone in the woods, a bugbear will reach out of the bushes and strangle you. If you stray too far from the house at night, bugbears will scoop you up to devour you in their den. If a bugbear cuts off your head, your soul stays trapped inside, and the bugbears use your head to magically command all whom you once knew. Lurid tales such as these have flowered from the seeds of truth. Bugbears do rely on stealth and strength to attack, preferring to operate at night. They do take the heads of enemy leaders, but they are no more likely to eat people indiscriminately than humans are. Bugbears aren't likely to attack lone travelers or wandering children unless they clearly have something to gain by doing so. From the viewpoint of the rest of the world, their aggression and savagery are thankfully offset by their rarity and lethargy.
Racial Traits
- Ability Score Increase. Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.
- Age. Bugbears reach adulthood at age 16 and live up to 80 years.
- Alignment. Bugbears endure a harsh existence that demands each of them to remain self-sufficient, even at the expense of their fellows. They tend to be chaotic evil.
- Size. Bugbears are between 6 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 250 and 350 pounds. Your size is Medium.
- Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
- Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
- Long Limbed. When you make a melee attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal.
- Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
- Sneaky. You are proficient in the Stealth skill.
- Surprise Attack. If you surprise a creature and hit it with an attack on your first turn in combat, the attack deals an extra 2d6 damage to it. You can use this trait only once per combat.
- Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin.

Born in Kitchener, Ontario Stajduhar was taken 16th overall by the Oilers in 1993 after notching 60 points for the OHA's London Knights. He returned to junior and exploded for 34 goals and helped Canada win the gold medal at the World Junior Championships.
The young rearguard settled in with the AHL's Cape Breton Oilers in 1994-95 then signed on with the Canadian national team the next year. He was recalled to the Oilers for a couple of games then returned to the minors. Injuries and consistency soon began to plague Stajduhar's career as he bounced around the minors in the late 90s.

Where is your name?Posted on March 27, 2018 by LaVonne Debois
I recently moved. You too, know what that involves. Even though the excitement of moving brings new opportunities, friends and experiences, it does not lessen all the work that goes with it. Once you get moved, then the fun begins. We sort through, throw away, rearrange, donate to a thrift store, keep what we still cant decide to do with and make ready the location for the next occupant.
As I was doing all of the above, I came across a big cardboard box. The ones whose sides were bulging out from all of the contents that I packed in.
What I found was 28 years of books from my tour company. Reservations books. Books that represented every single day of my life since 1991.
One of the first things we would ask a visitor when booking a tour is their name. Webster defines a name as a word or set of words by which a person, animal, place, or thing is known by. The only thing I knew each day was the name of the people I would be meeting. I did not know the person. Our parents gave us names the day we were born. They did not know us yet. Maybe our names would change as we grew up. We may have been given nick-names that people would come to know us by.
Technically, I should have destroyed all those books or put them in a locked safe. The information in is no longer of value, just good memories.
There are, however, many names of people of whom I still have contact with that I met through my tour. We became Facebook friends, personal friends, friends who I visited on my travels and friends to call on me when they are in town to have breakfast together. You know who you are. You have become more to me than just a name.
I also think of all the other places where our name is. It's almost scary!
When we give people our names to make reservations, we want to prove our name is on the list, so we ask for a confirmation number.
Think of all the forms we fill out in our lifetime, job applications, volunteer sign up sheets, applications for credit cards, reward cards for grocery stores, bank loans, car loans, and the list goes on and on. In time, that information becomes null and void because of changes along life's way.
Some names are written places in stone, others in our hearts and even sometimes, names are written in the sky, and some names are already taken and cannot be used. You know the frustration when looking for a username or personalized plates that already have been taken. Ugh!
Yet again, over time, the names fade.
There is someone else who knows you by name. He knew you before you were formed in your mothers womb. He has called you by name. He knows you so well, he knows the number of hairs on our head (or the lack of hair).
As we approach this coming Easter, I am reminded of a book where our names should all be. It's in a book where neither moth nor time can destroy. It is a book that will never need shredded.
If you have met the author of this book, then you know as a believer who has put their faith and trust in Jesus, the author, your name indeed is in the Lambs Book of Life.
In fact, the book says our name is tattooed on the palm of its authors hand. I know mine is.

RAPID weight loss may be more effective than shedding kilograms at a slow and steady pace, new research reveals.
The findings of the University of Melbourne and Austin Health trial could turn weight-loss guidelines on their head.
"We debunked the theory that the faster you lose weight, the quicker you will regain it," said university research fellow and dietitian Katrina Purcell. "Slow and steady doesn't win the race."
The trial involving 200 obese people, led by Austin Health Weight Control Clinic head Professor Joseph Proietto, also found those who lost weight faster were more likely to achieve their target weight loss than people who were using a gradual approach.
People on the rapid weight-loss diet were also less likely to drop out of the trial.
Prof Proietto said their findings highlighted an urgent need to review clinical obesity guidelines.
Half of the participants were put on a 12-week rapid weight-loss program that involved a diet of just 1900-3300 kilojoules a day. Under strict medical supervision, they replaced three meals a day with a nutritional shake and a bowl of vegetables or salad.
The remaining 100 were put on a 36-week gradual weight-loss program that involved cutting 2100 kilojoules a day.
The first group lost an average of 1.5kg a week and the second group shed 0.5kg on average. A total of 81 per cent of people on the rapid weight-loss diet lost 12.5 per cent of their weight, compared with 50 per cent in the gradual group.
There are several possible explanations for the rapid weight loss showing better results, including that a low-kilojoule diet triggers hunger suppressants, or the low carbohydrate intake led to a greater feeling of fullness.
The participants lost an average of 15kg, but both groups regained roughly 10kg after three years.
"The gradual group actually started to regain the weight faster," said Ms Purcell. The researchers believe the weight was put back on because the 200 were producing a hunger hormone at elevated levels.
The paper's authors stress the findings do not advocate fad diets, rather medically supervised rapid weight loss with a dietitian or doctor.
The research, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, was done with La Trobe.

Housebuilders could be allowed to avoid reaching the highest environmental standards by paying a levy to offset carbon savings under plans to be unveiled next week, writes Joey Gardiner.
Building understands that the Zero Carbon Task Group, headed by Barratt chief executive Mark Clare, will recommend that small or difficult sites be exempted from the highest levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes by paying a charge.
This charge would be used to pay for equivalent carbon savings in other areas, such as improving the existing housing stock.
The government has said that all homes must meet level six of the code – zero carbon – by 2016.
Sources close to the task group said it would report that the challenges of reaching zero carbon are different for large, medium and small sites.
It will argue that small sites will find it impossible to reach level six as they are not large enough to make combined heat and power systems work and do not have scope for other forms of renewable energy generation.
This is a sensible approach as to how we meet the zero-carbon.
Task Group Source
Developers of these sites would then be able to pay a levy rather than have them rendered unviable. The findings will feed into a government consultation on the definition of zero carbon, scheduled for the summer.
A source close to the group said: "This is a sensible and pragmatic approach as to how we meet the zero-carbon obligation."
However, the group is said to be undecided on how the levy might work. A separate source said: "They've got to be careful they don't find that most homes, which are built on small sites, are able to escape reaching zero carbon."
Speaking on the sidelines of the Think 08 conference, Paul King, chief executive of the UK Green Building Council, refused to confirm the details of the group's recommendations. He said: "The aim is to come up with a mechanism that does not dumb down the commitment to zero carbon, but does provide equity between large and small sites."
The task group, which was set up by the government and the UK Green Building Council to define zero-carbon housing, will present their findings to ministers on Tuesday.

My husband Tim turned to me and whispered in a confidential tone out of the corner of his mouth, "I've never been so excited in my whole life."
I guffawed, because it was so out of character.
Heads turned. Our cover was blown. We were beginners, and they all knew it. We were standing in line under a high glass dome that shed dappled light over the scene. Smiling, efficient attendants swirled around us. My whole body was tingling with anticipation. This was our first transatlantic cruise—in fact, our first cruise ever—and the buildup had been intense.
We had cast off our old life, sold our house and furniture, and set off for a home-free life, unfettered by dishwashers or lawnmowers, roof repairs, and children and grandchildren. First step: crossing the ocean from Miami to Europe, bringing with us all the subconscious romantic notions about transatlantic cruises that we had collected from movies and books all our lives.
Tim, who handles our travel arrangements, discovered a way to get a deep discount on cruises early in his quest for budget-sensitive travel options—a method that could get you anywhere from one-third to 70% off the price of your cruise.
So now we were ready to see if what we had heard was true—that this was the ideal way for retirees to get to Europe: two weeks or so of free rent, excellent food, and total relaxation, plus an arrival free of jet-lag and stiff knees.
Tim had chosen us a stateroom in the ship's curved bow. Its irregular shape and large porthole, which faced right out into the future, delighted us.
Everything had a purpose, and as we explored, we knew that all our things would fit somewhere in the space. Ship designers are clever people. It felt like playing house, but someone else was going to clean up the toys six times a day… Patrick, our ever-attentive, discreet steward, rapped quietly to introduce himself. I asked for ice, and from that moment the ice bucket in our room was always filled. It took about 10 minutes to realize that I loved transatlantic cruising.
And this was before we ever left port. Later, as we dined with six new friends, the lights of Fort Lauderdale's port twinkling outside the glittering, tall windows of the two-story main dining room, the ship began to move.
Its progress was stately at first. Then, after a long bellow from its horn, it picked up speed and went plowing through the canal.
In moments, as people applauded, we were in open water—on our way to Europe.
After dinner, Tim and I stepped out on the deck and stood, like Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant in An Affair to Remember, watching the phosphorescent wake glide by. MGM had sent a moon to complete the scene, and we spent quite a bit of time congratulating ourselves on our brilliant scheme.
Our entire journey was as promised. We slept beautifully, lulled by the subtle hum of the engines and the gentle movement. We ate well, taking advantage of the specialty restaurants from time to time.
We made new, entertaining friends, some of whom enjoy permanent status in our date book. But we were also perfectly happy to spend time on our own, in our attractive cabin, watching TV or even having room service for a change of pace. Pajama-dining evenings are sometimes a must, even on a cruise.
We used the excellent gym equipment on board, lolled on deck chairs reading in blissful idleness, and never felt compelled to participate in activities that didn't interest us.
We left the ship in Rome rested, relaxed, and ready to enjoy our first extended, home-free European visit, sporting great shipboard haircuts from the salon with an ocean view. And we were so pleased with the money we saved, that we've since taken three other cruises—for a fraction of the usual price.

Nicki Minaj fans have made it through the storm for their matriarch. The Queens rapper releases her fourth studio album Queen. The platinum-selling rap star launched her Queen Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music last night, where she not only announced the updated release date for Queen but also previewed tracks from the LP. Now, the album is available on Apple Music.
Fraught with teetering shade, Internet trolling, a flip-flopping release date and awkwardly-timed collaborations, the lead-up to this album has been, let's be honest, a shambles — and has subsequently genuinely baffled rap fans.
Regardless, Queen is here. With features from Foxy Brown, Lil Wayne, Ariana Grande, Eminem, The Weeknd and more, Minaj has assumed her most recent alter-ego of latex-ninja Chun-Li — yes, the same persona that has been cited as an exemplar of cultural appropriation — and recaps the last four years over its 19 tracks.

In the morning,
I kiss the sheets and pillowcases and his towel,
drinking in his scent,
before stuffing them into the laundry bag.
When I eat breakfast,
I wish he were there,
dropping Chereo crumbs on the carpet,
talking to me
and occasionally taking my hand
or kissing me.
All through the day,
I wish he were with me
to encourage and support me,
to rub aching muscles from time to time,
to take me in his arms and kiss me
when I least expect it.
In the evening,
as I do the dishes,
I wish he were doing that chore instead
while I read him the paper.
Later, as I sit with my feet up,
reading a good book,
I wish he were sitting opposite me,
doing the same.
As I drift off to sleep,
I wish he were next to me
with his arms around me.
One day, we will be together for good
but until then,
all I have is the memory of him.

FNB's exhibition at the Portside building in Cape Town is a fascinating history lesson on the evolution of banking in South Africa.

You don't have to be a high flier to have a foreign currency account or even an offshore bank account, which have now become an easily available and relatively affordable option for South Africans who would like to hold some funds offshore.

Where did you grow up and what was it like? I grew up in a small town north of Christchurch called Kaiapoi. During the 80's and 90's there was no internet or cell phones (yes, old I know), so I was always at a friend's house and always had something to do.
Take us to a place in Wellington that means something to you and tell us why you chose it! The Cuba St Bucket Fountain is an iconic 'sculpture' in Wellington. I wanted my photo there as when I first moved here in 2001, I got my first job at the hotel Bristol and walked passed it every day.

"Five NASCAR Drivers Decline President Obama's White House Invitation"
Obama's approval rating has plummeted to 38 per cent - an all time low. The news came after it emerged whites and women are a re-election problem for Obama, along with his traditional base of younger voters and liberals.
But he's doing just fine with 56% of American Muslims.
One in four Democrats wants to dump Obama
President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis signed "partnership" agreements with ambassadors from a group of Latin American nations aiming to protect the labor rights of illegal migrants working in the United States.
To show her support for American workers, Secretary Solis, has purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox to ride around Washington in. The problem: the crossover SUV is made in Canada.
The White House is going into the petition business, giving Americans "a direct line to the White House on issues and concerns that matter most to them." Not to be overlooked, the effort also will allow the White House to collect email addresses of potential Obama supporters going into the 2012 election.
House GOP leadership outlined plans to delay or kill a suite of environmental rules in coming months. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), in a memo to GOP members, outlined a legislative schedule for thwarting "job-destroying" regulations that includes a number of Environmental Protection Agency rules.
Facing fierce resistance from congressional Republicans, industry and some local officials, President Obama abruptly pulled back proposed smog standards Friday that would have compelled states and communities nationwide to reduce local air pollution or face federal penalties. (and would have cost $Bs)
House Republicans are planning to introduce legislation that seeks to force major changes at the United Nations, using as leverage the U.S.'s 22 percent contribution to the world body's operating budget
President Obama's long-lost "Uncle Omar" has been arrested for alleged drunk-driving outside Boston and detained as an illegal immigrant. President Obama's Auntie Zeituni, was discovered several years ago, living as an illegal immigrant in Boston public housing.
"Uncle Omar" has had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya.
'Uncle Omar' had been living in a nice house, hosted popular backyard barbecues and worked at a local liquor store. "How do you acquire that kind of house, host frequent neighborhood barbecues and, apparently, own a late-model SUV by working at a liquor store?"
Riding high in the polls, Gov. Rick Perry rode into Iowa on Saturday with tough talk on President Obama, the economy and foreign policy and a declaration that Social Security is not only a Ponzi scheme but a "monstrous lie" for younger people. "If you're for the status quo in America, I'm not your guy," Perry told an overflow crowd .
Statements like the one above scare "GOP Insiders", according to the National Journal. "Many Republican Insiders acknowledged Perry's appeal to conservatives but questioned his ability to win over independent voters."
But wait, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows Perry beating Obama 44% to 41%.
America in decline? China may buy the LA Dodgers.
NASA says astronauts may need to abandon the International Space Station this fall.
The federal government seized wood, guitars and electronic records from Gibson Guitar's Nashville warehouses in 2009. "…..representatives of the US government told Gibson that their legal issues would disappear if they used Madagascar labor instead of American labor."
President Obama will nominate Princeton's Alan Krueger to be chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. Krueger designed the "cash for clunkers" program and has also advocated the creation of a 5% national sales tax.
New York mayor Bloomberg has banned all clergy and all prayer from the upcoming 9/11 memorial service.
The Obama administration wants you to think of the government as "your federal family." In the approach and aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has repeatedly used the phrase "federal family" when describing the administration's response to the storm.
California is pushing through its own "Dream Act" to allow illegal immigrants to obtain state-funded financial aid for college. The California state Senate passed the measure Wednesday on a 22-11 party-line vote, with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed.
An important meta-analysis published in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry shows that nearly 10% of mental health problems in women are directly attributable to abortion. "….women with an abortion history have an 81% increased risk of mental health problems and 155% increased risk of suicide."
Neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden managed to attend the Veterans of Foreign Wars' annual conference this year, a perceived slight that has gravely offended the organization. The VFW national commander, called the absence of Obama and Biden "an insult of the highest magnitude," and the first time the organization has been so snubbed in its history.
Arnold Ahlert, 8/7
Comedians Penn and Teller have a show call "Bulls**t!" which runs every so often on the Showtime cable network. The purpose of the show is to expose fraudulent ideas or thinking in an amusing way. The one I watched was about organic vegetables and whether or not they were any better than non-organic ones. The show, using both anecdotes and scientific evidence demonstrated pretty convincingly that they're not. But the anecdotes revealed something profound about the way people think—or more accurately how some people allow feelings to completely over-ride reason.
First it should be noted that most organic food costs considerably more than non-organic food does. In the overwhelming majority of economic transactions, a higher price for something can be assumed to mean one of two things: a higher degree of scarcity, or a superior degree of quality. In terms of the former, the show blew a big hole in the cherished idea that "community" farms were the only ones producing organic vegetables. Turns out Big Agra knows a market when it sees one, and such "evil" corporations are more than willing to cash in. Also, 20 percent of organic food is grown in China, a country famous for their "quality" control.
In terms of the latter, an equally large hole was blown in the idea that organic foods were healthier, or that their methods of production were more "earth-friendly." Not only that, but it was revealed that if organic farming methods were adopted worldwide, two billion people would starve.
But all of the science paled in entertainment value to the taste test segments of the show. That's the part where the dedicated "save the earth" crowd was asked to choose between two plates of vegetables or fruit and tell the presenter which one was organic. Time after time, people convinced organic foods were better, chose non-organic foods as their preferred choice in terms of looks and more importantly taste, by an 80-90 percent margin. Yet when asked by the presenter if this new information would cause them to re-consider their buying habits, virtually every one them said they would continue to buy organic products.
But it gets even better. In one hilarious segment, the presenter cut a banana in half, told people one half was organic and asked people which half tasted better. One woman who claimed her entire diet consisted of raw fruit and vegetables, was especially effusive regarding how much better the organic half of the banana tasted. When the truth was revealed, the tester asked the woman if she still thought organic food was superior. She answered yes—and somewhat belatedly admitted such feelings might be "psychological." In other words, facts be damned, I just like feeling good about what I believe in.
You wanna know why I'm a conservative? Because the above anecdotes represent the essence of progressive thinking.
For progressives, it doesn't matter that the country's economy is going to hell in a handbasket, that we're borrowing forty cents of every dollar we spend, that we've just upped the ante on the national debt from $14 trillion-plus to $16 trillion-plus, or that we're headed for national bankruptcy. It doesn't matter that our soldiers are fighting wars with one hand tied behind their backs in order to "win the hearts and minds" of people who despise us, or that we're sitting on top of more energy than any other country on the planet, even as we send billions of dollars to the very same people who despise us. It doesn't matter that we're well on our way to making the nuclear family extinct, or that we're allowing millions of people who snuck into the country to live among us like they're entitled, or that the housing market was destroyed when government forced banks to lend money to people who would never pay it back.
Those are the facts, and facts be damned. Progressives just like feeling good about what they believe in.
Thus, it completely eludes progressives why companies refuse to hire, or ship jobs overseas at every opportunity. In prog-world, companies exist primarily to re-distribute wealth, not make a profit or turn out a product. In prog-world, every business owner is suspect until proven otherwise, even as thousands of rules and regulations must be substituted for common sense and common decency.
In prog-world, those with a "superior" sense of insight, aka government bureaucrats, academic "intellectuals," and self-aggrandizing media hacks must over-ride the sensibilities of millions of Americans acting in their own self-interest. Self-interest which is characterized as mean-spirited, thoughtless, cruel or religiously "fanatic."
Anyone who challenges such wisdom? The prog word du jour is "terrorist."…..A terrorist is a person who looks at the carnage wrought by the socialist/marxist societies throughout the course of history and doesn't understand that the only reason such carnage occurred was because the wrong people were in charge.
Who are the "right" people? The folks who fervently believe that one half of the same banana is better than the other one. I've got a hot flash for the banana-heads: the "terrorists" have no interest in underwriting your socialist utopia. They have no interest in substituting good feelings for hard truths. And while there may be many things you can force someone to do, one of them isn't starting a business, or expanding one already in existence. Not that it hasn't been tried. Every totalitarian society that ever existed yoked men to labor. And every one of them discovered coerced labor produces dismal results.
America's wealth-producing class is essentially on strike. And they're more than likely to remain so as long as progressives continue to insist that the stoking of envy, class warfare and guilt is a viable substitute for providing people with incentive. It is not and it never will be. Those are the facts. And all the self-righteous feelings in the world won't change them……
Here's two ideas, Mr. President: one, give up the ghost on your tedious and ultimately destructive allegiance to re-distributionist Marxism, masquerading itself as Keynesian stimulus. It hasn't "created or saved" anything other than government budgets and public sector unions. Those priorities demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that getting re-elected, rather than fixing the economy, is your first priority. Second, show Tim Geithner the door. His credibility, highlighted by his assurance in April that the U.S. would never get a ratings downgrade, is completely gone. He should be completely gone as well. Perhaps he can get a job selling organic vegetables.
Another good read on healthcare by President Obama's cousin, a board certified radiologist who opposes Obamacare.
"If you really want to light the fuse of a liberal Democrat, compare Barack Obama's economic performance after 30 months in office with that of Ronald Reagan. It's not at all flattering for Mr. Obama. The two presidents have a lot in common. Both inherited an American economy in collapse. And both applied daring, expensive remedies. Mr. Reagan passed the biggest tax cut ever, combined with an agenda of deregulation, monetary restraint and spending controls. Mr. Obama, of course, has given us a $1 trillion spending stimulus. By the end of the summer of Reagan's third year in office, the economy was soaring. The GDP growth rate was 5% and racing toward 7%, even 8% growth. In 1983 and '84 output was growing so fast the biggest worry was that the economy would 'overheat.' In the summer of 2011 we have an economy limping along at barely 1% growth and by some indications headed toward a 'double-dip' recession. By the end of Reagan's first term, it was Morning in America. Today there is gloomy talk of America in its twilight. My purpose here is not more Reagan idolatry, but to point out an incontrovertible truth: One program for recovery worked, and the other hasn't."
-Stephen Moore
"The Obama State Department has just released its annual terrorism report…..Once again, the Taliban is not included in State's listing of Foreign Terrorist Organizations ... the Taliban whose terrorism and safe haven for al Qaeda are the justification for continuing to have our troops fight and die in Afghanistan. ... [W]hat's the chance that we will be clear about who the enemy is if the administration can't even bring itself to say the Taliban is a terrorist organization? Of course, if the Obama administration were encouraging negotiations with the Taliban (it is) and even anticipating a settlement in which the Taliban were brought into the Afghan government (ditto), the State Department wouldn't want to complicate that by naming the Taliban as a terrorist organization, right? So we are putting our forces in harm's way in the War on Terror to fight an outfit that we won't call 'terrorists' and that we actually see as part of the future Afghan government we are building. Great."
-Andrew C. McCarthy
"…given today's terrible economy, Barack Obama cannot run in 2012 on the theme of hope, as he did in 2008. With his record, he'll have to run on fear -- that is, on convincing voters that Republicans are just too scary to elect."
-Byron York
You just know this is going to be a hatchet job: An upcoming movie about Karl Rove before he got to Washington will be called "College Republicans".
A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African-Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.
Actor George Clooney says President Obama is nicer, more compassionate, and "smarter than almost anyone you know.."
The United States does not have a short-term debt problem, just a "jobs crisis" that can be solved with greater government stimulus spending, according to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.
During a Democratic fundraising event in San Francisco late last month, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) declared Republicans are 'hijacking' the deficit issue in order to 'destroy the public space' and wondered aloud "Do their children breathe air, do they drink water?"
A number of states have recently passed voter-ID legislation — among them, Texas, Alabama, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island. Two others, Georgia and Indiana, implemented such laws years ago. This trend has the Left hyperventilating. From former president Bill Clinton to NAACP head Benjamin Jealous, irresponsible cries of "Jim Crow" have been uttered in a losing attempt to sell Americans a great lie: that requiring someone to authenticate his or her identity at the polling place by showing a government-issued photo identification is anything like the despicable discrimination that once existed in the South.
A solar panel manufacturer abruptly ceased operations on Wednesday and immediately laid off all 1,100 of its workers. The shutdown marks a high-profile collapse of a company that received more than $1.6 billion in federal and private funding in recent years.
President Obama made the company a centerpiece of the Obama administration's economic stimulus effort. "Solyndra was a poster child of the utopian future envisioned by the Obama administration when oodles of green jobs would relieve the nation's unemployment rate, generate clean energy, and help the environment.
The fantasy that electric cars are right around the corner doesn't survive even the most cursory reality check……consumers simply won't pay a $20,000 premium for a vehicle that doesn't go very far, isn't very convenient, and runs out of juice as soon as you turn on the air conditioner…..Consider hybrids. After a decade on the market, they've captured only 3 per cent of sales……Here's another catch: Electric cars aren't necessarily green at all. Electric vehicles require large amounts of electricity – so much that Toronto Hydro chief Anthony Haines says he doesn't know how he'd get it. "If you connect about 10 per cent of the homes on any given street with an electric car, the electricity system fails," he said recently.
"Is Rick Perry dumb?" "The political graveyard in Texas is buried full of people who have underestimated Rick Perry……We had a U.S. senator who did that and she didn't even make the run-off. Sooner or later, they're going to figure out that he's not just lucky, he's good."
Is Barack Obama smart enough to make it as an Air Force pilot?
"Rick Perry Is A Lot Closer To The 2012 GOP Presidential Nomination Than You Think….. Once Labor Day has passed, there will be five debates, in quick succession, on the GOP presidential candidates' calendars. These will be important tests for Perry. If at the end of two or three, it's clear that he's every bit the equal of Mitt Romney on matters of policy and politics, then the Perry juggernaut becomes all but unstoppable. Romney's "I'm the only electable one" argument will vanish and the party's base will nominate one of their own. If Perry stumbles badly in the debates, Romney's campaign gets a second wind…. Knowing that the only things standing between Perry and the GOP nomination are a couple of "good enough" debate performances, the GOP "establishment" faces a choice: they can cross their fingers and hope for the best or mount a sustained negative campaign to destroy Perry with the party's base. It is likely that, after Labor Day, a sustained negative campaign against Perry will be launched."
The Republican race for the White House is about to accelerate dramatically, with a series of debates and events testing whether Rick Perry has staying power and Mitt Romney can keep focusing on the president instead of his GOP rivals. September also may settle the field for good, with Sarah Palin perhaps deciding at last whether to run. That opening debate "will be most critical" for Perry because "it will be his first time out."
"The Left considers itself the undisputed champion of "science," but there are scads of issues where they take un-scientific points of view. The idea that conservatives are anti-science is self-evident and self-pleasing liberal hogwash. I see no reason why conservatives should even argue the issue on their terms when it's so clearly offered in bad faith in the first place."
"..the Democratic strategy for the presidential and Congressional elections will be "down and dirty." "It's not going to be a 'Morning in America' campaign; it's going to be a darkness at midnight campaign about the Republicans."
"Will Clarence and Virginia Thomas succeed in killing Obama's health-care plan?"
The implications of Thomas's leadership for the Court, and for the country, are profound. Thomas is probably the most conservative Justice to serve on the Court since the nineteen-thirties. More than virtually any of his colleagues, he has a fully wrought judicial philosophy that, if realized, would transform much of American government and society. Thomas's views both reflect and inspire the Tea Party movement, which his wife has helped lead almost since its inception. The Tea Party is a diffuse operation, and it can be difficult to pin down its stand on any given issue. Still, the Tea Party is unusual among American political movements in its commitment to a specific view of the Constitution—one that accords, with great precision, with Thomas's own approach. For decades, various branches of the conservative movement have called for a reduction in the size of the federal government, but for the Tea Party, and for Thomas, small government is a constitutional command.
"President Obama has enlarged and shaped the missions of agencies across the federal government to his own purposes, in pursuit of the "fundamental change" he promised voters. The resulting agency creep is creeping me out. Totalitarians have a history of recasting representative governments into reflections of their own personal madness. Whether in the case of Communists, Fascists, or modern liberals, day-to-day government is retooled into an incarnation of their dear leader's obsessions and justified by a vain and unsupportable assertion of higher intelligence. This time is no different, as is demonstrated by the multiple cases of agency creep we are witnessing in the executive branch. We have recently been treated to internationalist game wardens, eco-warrior accountants, interfaith astronauts, and politicking professors…..Why is the US Wildlife and Fisheries raiding Gibson Guitar, the SEC examining hydraulic fracturing fluids, NASA seeking to build bridges with Muslims, and the Department of Education attacking Rick Perry?.......The president's now ample comments already indicate that he represents some of us more than others, and the mere fact that these new initiatives would not survive a legislative hearing is a sufficient indicator of their lack of representative merit. Such hyper-personal backroom governance is the antithesis of democracy. It is installment plan dictatorship by way of bureaucracy, one crazy misdirected program at a time.
Conservatives yearn for a big, clarifying electoral victory in November of 2012, but they're already winning decisively whenever Americans vote with their feet--or their moving vans. New Census numbers show citizens fleeing by the millions from liberal states and flocking in comparable numbers to bastions of rightwing sentiment. Call it the Great Political Migration. Between 2009 and 2010 the five biggest losers in terms of ''residents lost to other states'' were all prominent redoubts of progressivism: California, New York, Illinois, Michigan and New Jersey. Meanwhile, the five biggest winners in the relocation sweepstakes are all commonly identified as ''red states''
New bumper stickers: "Honk if I'm paying your healthcare"
"Whenever anyone wants to prove that millions of Americans are either dumb or just plain nuts, they mention that 12% of the population is convinced that a badly scarred James Dean is living as a hermit and a 450-pound Elvis Presley is working at a 7/11 outside Nashville. I say that doesn't prove anything beyond wishful thinking. A far more convincing case can be made by pointing out that even now 40% of Americans believe that Barack Obama is doing a bang-up job. In a saner world, it's Obama who would be a hermit or working at a 7/11 in Chicago."
-Burt Prelutsky
"When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and not by accident."
-Ronald Reagan

A great way to boost your metabolism is to become involved in lots of varied activities and exercise programs. It's not okay to be active on Monday and then take the rest of the week off. You must be consistent, if you want to see real results. Any type of exercise is good, but try and include some metabolism boosting activities, like climbing stairs and jogging or biking.
If you are thinking about taking a diet supplement to help you lose weight, you might want to try Phen375. It gives you a boost of energy which will help motivate you to become a little more active.
FAQ's: some good metabolism boosts?what can boost your metabolism a lot?
- There are quite a few things you can do to boost your metabolism. Here are just a few of them. Always eat breakfast, a nutritious breakfast that includes some low fat protein. It will give you a good start to the day. Eat small amounts frequently. In our society we are accustomed to eating big meals just two or three times a day. It will help increase your metabolism if you eat much smaller meals, but more often. Plan three meals and three snacks everyday. Eat something every three to four hours. Spicy foods boost your metabolism for about half an hour after you eat them. That isn't long, but every little bit helps. And if you eat spicy foods often, then you get the benefits more often. So add green and red chili peppers to your diet, and the hot sauces. Eat more protein – healthy sources of protein such as lean beef and pork, fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, beans, eggs, and low-fat dairy products. Your body burns twice as many calories to digest protein as it does to digest a similar portion of carbohydrates or fats. Exercise twice a day if at all possible. Go for a brisk 30 minute walk in the morning, and walk again later in the day. The effect will be better than one 60 minute walk. When we exercise, our metabolism is raised for a while after the exercise, so exercising for shorter periods more often is a good thing. Get enough sleep. Your body cannot function well if it is not well rested. Drink enough water. Your body also needs water to process calories efficiently and to function well. Drink it ice cold. There is research that suggests if you drink it "on the rocks" it can result in burning an extra 10 calories a day, which again doesn't sound like much but that results in a loss of a pound a year. Start a weight lifting routine. You don't need to focus on bulking up – toning is fine. It will help you build a little muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat – the result is increased metabolism. The more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. And it will do wonders for your posture, appearance, self esteem, etc. Do some high intensity exercise – kick it up a notch. When you push yourself, there is a longer increase in resting metabolic rate. Drinking two cups of black coffee has been shown to burn about 50 extra calories in the four hours after you drink it, for a 145 pound woman. But of course the effects are lost if you add cream and sugar. There is also evidence that two to four cups of green tea or oolong tea (again without added sugar) a day has a similar effect. That sort of effect adds up to about 5 pounds of weight loss a year. Never go on a crash diet (less than 1200 calories a day) and never try to lose weight fast. Such diets lead to loss of muscle, which means that your body burns fewer calories, and after the diet you gain weight faster. The most important thing you can do is build muscle and stay active. The more you move, the more you burn. And if you exercise in the morning, it revs up your metabolism for the whole day.
- Vitamin C is very handy. Or resveratrol.
Exercise plays an important role in boosting the metabolism and being able to burn of calories and undesired fat. There are quite a few suggestions for what exercises to focus on, how often to exercise, and when to exercise. In many cases, just doing anything is helpful but doing the right exercises will help to maximize a boosted metabolism.
Many times, we put ourselves through some questions that we do not have to. Perhaps if we knew better we would understand the things we need to be done in order to get the best out of life. Like regulating our weight and body systems, for instance. All it takes to get it right is to take over your metabolism; by speeding it up, many things are made right. Unfortunately, too many people neglect this and then expect miracles.
More Boost Metabolism Info!
When working to boost your metabolism, it is important to take it easy. This is because it is possible that you to fall ill simply because your metabolism is too fast. This is probably not what you wanted for when you started out to speed up your metabolism. However, now you're burning up substance that you need in your system. Rather than speed up, you might want to slow a bit this time.
To effectively burn fat, you must have your metabolism in proper working order. Having a slow metabolism can render the results you're looking for. There are many factors that can help a slow metabolism. Below you'll find 3 easy ways to prevent slowing down your metabolism and speed it up to gain maximum results.
Because of the very fact that too many calories in your body might become harmful to you, most doctors now would recommend that you get rid of them in a hurry. One very common suggestion is that you engage in lots of exercise to boost your metabolism. If you're able to stay this way, you're likely to remain healthy all the time.
The amount of calories in the food you eat has a lot to say about the rate of your body metabolism. Some foods go down fast and some don't. They tend to find out if your body stays healthy or not. So if you want to be your metabolism going the way it should, you ought to pay a lot of attention paid to the foods that you eat.
It has obviously being said a million times. However, it's worth repeating-You are healthier if you burn more calories. Usually you have to make your body consume as much as 66 per cent of calories that the food you eat contains. If you can have it that way, at least you're more certain of your welfare. Anything short of that total could be harmful on the long run.
Foods that you eat contain calories. But by engaging in lots of exercise you do yourself a ton of good. You see, the exercises that you do help to burn these calories, they speed up your metabolism so that the calories are either consumed or passed out. You simply have to watch out that it does not get too much, though. You could hurt yourself.
You can control your body's metabolism by paying simple attention to your body mass. Now I'm not talking fat; I mean your muscle. You must have seen how body builders need to eat a lot all the time. Well, it as they have a lot off muscle. This means that their metabolism is kind of fast. You could also decide to walk that line and you'll be healthier for it.
Your own personal anomalies aside, if you eat lighter foods, you get to get a quicker metabolism. However, if you're someone who exercises a lot, your metabolism is already fast enough. Lighter foods then mightn't be a good idea; your body will consume such foods too fast and you find yourself asking for more.
The other side of this ridiculous idea about food and metabolism is the 'starvation mode' your body apparently goes into when you do not eat enough food. As the story goes if you do not eat enough food your metabolism will slow down and then this some how makes you store more fat every time you eat! So eating less food also makes you fat? This is likewise absurd.
As for the three 3 foods that boost your metabolism…ok here goes…you ready…protein, carbs and fats! Your metabolism will go up SLIGHTLY no matter what you eat.
Have you ever heard of resistance training? You are more able to boost your metabolism if you engage in resistance training. These are simple programs that last for upwards of thirty minutes. They do not even have to be undertaken every day; three or four times a week should do the trick. The result is that your metabolism speeds up and stays that way for as long as two days.
There is a few words about the foods you consume; they have an impact on how healthy you turn out in more ways than one. They affect the types of minerals that are available for your body to use. They also influence the rate at which your body system metabolizes stuff. If you want to speed up your metabolism, it is important for you to search for the foods that help you do so.
Most organisms constantly change their environments, and so does their metabolism. As you move from one place to another, the same happens to you. Now you have the option to just take it the way it is, or do something definitive to slow it down or quicken it up. I know I would love my metabolism to be quicker.
Your metabolic rate also influences how much food you'll require on the long run. If your metabolism is too fast, you'll find yourself eating much a lot of the time, yet you wouldn't be adding weight. Conversely, a slow metabolism harms you because you get not to eat, even when you need it. So you have to watch it every stage of the way.

Mobile Friendly Website Design
In today's business biosphere, having a website for your corporation is a "must". Your opponents have one; and if they don't, they're not copious enough of a contender.
An additional"necessity" that has materialized with the rise of smartphone equipment over the last few years is partaking a website that can be noticed from any mobile stratagem. For the most part, usually, a website is adequate to flourish on your computer screen or laptop display but won't act right for your mobile smartphone or tablet. This is a tricky part.
Probabilities are, you've been to a website that expected you to zoom in on your touchscreen to view a small passage of copy.
This is sufficient to drive budding clients away from your spot. With a considerable and large quantity of websites today, being viewed from mobile devices, you don't want to lose any of these possible clients to your competitors. With Brave Nerd, this is possible to achieve.

Haggen workers could face hurdles seeking jobs at Safeway, Albertsons
It seemed so simple at the time: Two big grocery companies (Albertsons and Safeway) merge and are forced to divest scores of their stores; a small Bellingham-based grocery company with money and ambition (Haggen) decides to grow by buying some of the divested properties; they all sign a contract.
A few months later, Alberstons sues Haggen for failing to pay for inventory and claims that Haggen's behavior was "fraudulent in nature and done with malice."
Haggen responds with a $1 billion lawsuit claiming various financial shenanigans. Haggen, in the meantime, decides to close some of its 146 new stores, and the company lays off some employees.
Amid the legal wrangling, former employees from Haggen stores may find it challenging to get hired at local Safeways or Albertsons.
Welcome to the world of mixed signals and unintended consequences.
The union
United Food & Commercial Workers Local 367 represents retail workers in Pierce, Thurston, Mason, Lewis, Grays Harbor and Pacific counties.
Nathe Lawver, Local 367 communications director, said this week that the "noncompete" language in store sales agreements with Haggen is "one of those unfortunate things" that happen when companies "play the corporate consolidation game. From what I understand, part of the agreement was that (employees) would not be able to transfer to Albertsons or Safeway.
"This is as much of a shock to us as it is to our members," he said. "I have to say we didn't see that coming. We have talked with our attorney and people who work on these things. We'd like to see that these people can maintain their jobs."
He urged laid-off union members to contact their representatives.
"This is really fresh," he said. "If this happens, or they see this, they should reach out to us to see what we might be able to do. I would think there are some contractual processes where we might be able to help out."
The law
"I don't think that these noncompetes would be enforceable," said Seattle attorney and labor law expert Noah Williams of the firm of Reed Longyear.
"The courts generally don't like to prevent people from earning a living," he said.
Noncompete agreements typically focus on "specialized skill sets that would be an advantage to the competitor. Usually it's in the tech industry," said Alexandra Filutowski, a Seattle attorney with experience in labor law.
If a company predicted an economic threat from a former employee working for a competitor, Filutowski asks, "what economic threat do these workers pose?"
Three bills were introduced into the latest session of the Legislature aimed at restricting noncompete agreements.
One, House Bill 1577, stated that "the Legislature intends to make noncompetition agreements for low-wage positions unenforceable and create a presumption that a restriction period of more than six months is unreasonable."
All three measures ended the session "retained in present status," which means they are essentially in deep sleep.
Haggen spokeswoman Deborah Pleva responded to News Tribune inquiries this week with an email stating: "Haggen associates may seek employment anywhere they choose."
Asked if those employees may accept employment offers without fear of legal action, Pleva responded, "I can't provide additional details beyond that statement."
Safeway spokeswoman Sara Osborne responded Friday: "Under the terms of the (Federal Trade Commission) consent decree and the asset sale agreement, we can consider rehiring employees after Haggen has laid them off, either during the normal course of business or following a store closure."
Still in question is the right of a currently employed Haggen worker to seek and accept employment with an Albertsons store or subsidiary, including Safeway.
Concerning a question about a California lawsuit from a former employee who claimed that Haggen was charging higher prices for items at the register than were listed for those items on the grocery aisles, Pleva responded, "Haggen was disappointed to learn about this lawsuit and is confident it has absolutely no merit."

IN a bid to claim the best spot, Hollywood studios have, particularly within the last few years, begun to map out their release schedules months if not years in advance.
And while it makes complete sense for studios to get ahead of the game, premature scheduling comes at a cost, usually to the film.
In a number of instances over the past few years, where sequels to films that haven't even been released yet are announced, issues erupt within the production.
The Hunger Games, for example, was released in March 2012, cementing itself as a box office winner. Lionsgate quickly announced the sequel for November the following year.
Now that's an extremely quick turnaround for a film as big and costly as Catching Fire. And not long after the first film had been released, director Gary Ross quit the sequel, explaining that the release pattern would not allow him ample time to do his job to the best of his ability.
This has happened time and time again. But that's not all. Scheduling sequels early, as Sony found with the Amazing Spider-Man films, can fall on its head.
After the release of The Amazing Spider-Man, Sony jumped the gun, not only announcing The Amazing Spider-Man 2, pictured, but also two spin-offs. This backfired when The Amazing Spider-Man bombed, forcing Sony to – very much in the public eye – change their plans. They agreed terms with Marvel and a new Spider-Man, unconnected to either of the previous two series, will be released in 2017.
It seems silly to think Hollywood will learn anything from their mistakes. Scheduling films for the future looks to be only in its infancy. But they should maybe stop being so concerned about bagging the best release date and concentrate on making good films. Sequels will come when the time is right.

DUBAI, Oct 5 — Dubai's Palm Island Drop Zone will host Fazza freediving champion Branko Petrovic in his upcoming attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest breath-hold underwater at the first-ever extreme sports exposition in the Middle East.
The record for prolonged submersion, also called static apnea, of 11 minutes and 35 seconds was set in 2009 by Frenchman Stephane Mifsud.
"I am very confident that I can break the existing world record," says Petrovic. "The Guinness World Records in static apnea were set while freedivers hold their breath on the surface of a swimming pool. At the Fazza Freediving Championships we need to hold our breath, dive down to four meters and ascend to the surface once we have reached our limits which make it arguably the most challenging breath hold tournament in the world."
Although the event, sponsored by Spearo freediving and spearfishing magazine, plans to showcase many extreme sports and products, it's clear that the static apnea contest is the most anticipated item on the schedule at Sky Dive Dubai, set for October 9 to 11.
Heart-pumping sports to be featured at the expo include kite surfing, skydiving, paragliding, paramotor and spearfishing.
New products to be showcased include the Dual Tracked Vehicle (DTV) Shredder from BPG Works, the first stand up ATV. The Sky V Flying Monocoque, a prototype single seater plane with cubic wings, will also make an appearance, as will Dream Jump, a free-jumping assist system that maximizes air time with its system of ropes and pulleys.
Demonstrations are planned for sky diving tandem jumps and visitors can get the lowdown on what gear, courses and certification they will need for that and other extreme sports.
Those who cannot make it to Dubai for the event can watch videos on the event's Facebook page and on Spearo's YouTube channel. Additionally, the Dubai Sports Channel will cover the free diving contest on TV. — AFP-Relaxnews

I finished something. I worked on novels and stories and various other things for years, but I've never actually followed through. I think, at this moment, I have approximately ten novels1 I'm working on, some more fleshed out than others, and a couple dozen short stories I have ideas for.
But now something I started I've actually completed. It's done. I don't want to change anything more. It's that game I was working on, the one that was inspired from Cashflow 101. I call it It's Just Business! and I'm actually quite proud of it. Of all the people other that me who have played it2, 100% of them have said that it's really good and really addictive. The way it works is that you start with a job, work to become financially independent, and then expand your business empire into the billions of dollars. The details are, of course, trade secrets.
Unfortunately, I don't know if I want to try to sell it because of any possible copyright infringement of Kioyaski's Cashflow games. There's no law against making a copy of something and using it for your own personal use (actually there is, but let's see them try to enforce it, eh?), but selling it is a big no-no. To be honest, though, I may have actually changed things enough that it doesn't actually infringe on Cashflow's copyrights. Maybe I'll set up a shop on Ebay or something and see what happens.
1Let's see. Main Universe: Midira, Arthur Mohammed, Alien Life, Admission. Stand Alone: 21st Century, Wolf 359, Wormhole Novel, Haas Riley, Moon's Moon, Dyson Sphere, Cretaceia. Total: 11.

After months of intense work, the first phase of ComputerWorld and Vivid's innovative new marketing strategy was unveiled today in the form of a complete company rebrand.
The press release is below...
ComputerWorld launches major rebrand and announces ambitious growth targets
Following a record year of trading, Yate-based ComputerWorld, one of the UK's leading business IT systems and solutions specialists today unveiled a new brand identity, tagline and strategic vision to support the next phase of its expansion.
This rebranding reflects both the evolution of the company and its vision for the future as well as ComputerWorld's commitment to deliver best-in-class cutting edge customer solutions in a fast moving industry.
From today, 'Helping Businesses Define Tomorrow' will serve as ComputerWorld's core purpose and its tagline – representing the innovation, expertise and 'personal' approach to technology partnerships that have always been the bedrock of ComputerWorld's success.
The new ComputerWorld logo evokes clarity and a modern approach to IT solutions. The blue palette is fresh, approachable and represents ComputerWorld's strengths – trustworthy, dependable, secure and responsible. The new typeface lends a modern, more pronounced look that reduces angles to express ComputerWorld's industry-leading cloud-based expertise.
While the brand, tagline and logo have changed to better represent where ComputerWorld is today, the company's value proposition remains the same: a combination of passion, honesty, ownership, deep industry understanding and exceptional customer relationships – core values that have built long-term partnership and driven the company to where it is today.
Moving forward, ComputerWorld will concentrate on its industry-leading strengths with a new structure that will provide an even better service to its growing customer base. It has created five key pillars to achieve this: Virtualisation and Cloud; Microsoft Technologies; Wired and Wireless Networking; End User Computing, and Unified Communications and Collaboration.
Clarifying ComputerWorld's purpose has allowed them to harness their other hugely successful divisions, Training and CW Personnel, to have a more integrated approach to their customer solutions. This allows ComputerWorld to have ambitious growth plans for the next three years.
Commenting on the rebrand, ComputerWorld's Managing Director, John Armstrong said:

While Bitcoin and Ethereum are looking for solution to be more scalable, IOTA is scalable by design. The more transactions created, the more transactions are verified and confirmed with IOTA. Creating a transaction does not require any fee, so sending value or data via the Tangle is free of charge. This enables a whole lot of new use cases, which were too costly with using Ethereum and other blockchains.
DLTs and the electric mobility infrastructure
The electric mobility infrastructure can benefit from these new technologies. In electric mobility we have to deal with (but are not limited to) the grid, the energy supplier and payments for the energy consumed by the customer, all according to predefined processes, information exchange interfaces and connected (mostly) to a central hub.
We need scalable solutions, because it is predicted that in the near future a lot of electric cars will hit the streets, and they all need to be charged. This requires a lot of communication between different devices, and might even require to do a lot of micro transactions between electric cars itself. This rapid growth will probably also stress the electricity grid, because we will add a lot more simultaneous demand to it.

Couples therapy; Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults
The body of research on the relationship functioning of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is relatively small; the aim of the present study is to advance our understanding of this topic. It has been estimated that three to ten percent of children and one to five percent of adults have impairing symptoms of ADHD, which is a total of 4 million children and 4-5 million adults in the U.S. (Wender, 2000). A recent prevalence study found that approximately 4.4% of adults in the U.S. meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ADHD (Kessler et al., 2006). Children with ADHD show innate temperamental characteristics, usually inattentiveness, distractibility, impulsivity, restlessness, demandingness, hyperreactivity, low tolerance for frustration, temperoutbursts, bossiness and stubbornness, and mood lability, along with an innate proclivity for academic underachievement. It has been estimated that one- to two-thirds of children with ADHD have symptoms that continue into adulthood, and for 40-50% of these adults, these symptoms are serious enough to cause impairment in functioning (Everett & Everett, 1999; Wender, 2000). Research suggests that the majority of cases are transmitted genetically, but some may be due to exposure to environmental toxins such as lead. Consumption of excess sugar or allergies to food may exacerbate or mimic ADHD symptoms in some children, but they are not a cause of ADHD (Wender, 2000). One hypothesized cause of the symptoms associated with ADHD is a deficit in the brain's executive functioning (Barkley & Gordon, 2002). Executive functioning can be conceptualized as the ability to inhibit, organize, and plan behaviors. Barkley and Gordon (2002) define it as the abilityto self-direct and regulate behaviors toward future goals, including social behaviors and goals. Other research suggests that executive functioning consists of inhibition, control of interference, verbal and nonverbal working memory, emotional regulation, attention, verbal fluency, visual scanning, and processing speed. Studies have shown impairments in these areas among adults with ADHD (Barkley & Gordon, 2002; Barkley, Murphy & Kwasnik, 1996; Goldstein, 2002).

This week we have had some really exciting news. The one area of our build that I really felt we were compromising on was our roof. The plan all along has been to reuse the reddy/brown concrete roof tiles from the existing bungalow on the new house. You have to make compromises somewhere and we had grudgingly accepted that this was ours. However after discussions with our builder it has emerged that a slate composite tile would actually cost the same as our concrete tiles. We'd need more of them because we wouldn't have the existing tiles to reuse, BUT the extra cost is surmountable, so I think we are going for it…
This week we have also had approval recommended by the Harbour Conservancy for our choice of weatherboard colour and white window frames. The downside is that we have been told our request to have a metal Juliet balcony will not be allowed, we will have to have wood instead. At the moment I can't even find a wooden one online to price… Maybe we'll just have to build one out of whatever wood we have left lying around. Perhaps that would offset the cost of a more expensive roof?
The skip that arrived on Friday has been filled by the remains of our old concrete garage and our back garden is transformed. I cannot wait to do the reveal of the changes when the outside room arrives next month.
Our build starts in less than a month… Crikey!

In the letter, OSHA explains that the notification is a proactive step to encourage employers to take steps now to reduce those rates and improve the safety and health environment in their workplaces.
"This identification process is meant to raise awareness that injuries and illnesses are high at these facilities," OSHA Administrator Edwin Foulke Jr. said. "Our goal is to identify workplaces where injury and illness rates are high, and to offer assistance to employers so they can address the hazards and reduce occupational injuries and illnesses."
OSHA identified establishments with the nation's highest workplace injury and illness rates through employer-reported data from a 2005 survey of 80,000 worksites (the survey consisted of data from calendar year 2004). The workplaces had six or more injuries or illnesses resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity or job transfer (DART) for every 100 full-time workers.
The national average during 2004 was 2.5 DART instances for every 100 workers.
Agency Offers its Help
In addition to receiving copies of the illness and injury data, employers are getting a list of the most frequently violated OSHA standards for their specific industry. The letter also offers the agency's assistance in helping turn the numbers around, suggesting, among other things, that employers take advantage of free safety and health consultation services provided by OSHA, state workplace safety agencies, insurance carriers or outside safety and health consultants.
Although there are no specific statistics on the number of employers who contact OSHA for help as a result of receiving the letters, there is a considerable spike in the number of calls made to OSHA safety and health consultants, an OSHA spokesperson noted. The agency has been sending out the about same number of notices for the past 7 years since the data collection was initiated, the spokesperson said.
