-- Scott Roberts
MONDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Onfi (clobazam) tablets have
been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as an add-on
treatment for severe seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut
syndrome in people 2 years and older, the agency said Monday in a
news release.
Lennox-Gastaut typically begins before age 4, and may be caused
by factors including brain malformation, severe head injury,
central nervous system infection and a number of genetic
conditions, the FDA said.
Most affected children have impaired intellect, developmental
delays and behavioral problems, the agency added.
Since the condition affects fewer than 200,000 people in the
United States, the medication was given the agency's so-called
"orphan drug" status. Common adverse reactions observed during
clinical testing included sedation, fever, drooling, constipation,
cough, urinary tract infection, insomnia, aggression, irritability,
vomiting, swallowing problems, bronchitis and pneumonia, the FDA
As with other antiepileptic drugs, Onfi may increase the risk of
suicidal thoughts and behaviors in a small number of users, the
agency warned. All users should be carefully monitored for these
symptoms, the FDA said.
The drug may also cause sedation, so older users shouldn't drive
or use heavy machinery. Onfi has been categorized as a Schedule IV
drug under the Controlled Substances Act, the FDA said.
The drug is manufactured by Catalent Pharma Solutions, based in
Winchester, Ky.

Chamberlain and the Lost Peace
John Charmley
In this controversial and challenging study based on extensive new work on Chamberlain's papers, John Charmley argues against the commonly held view that Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Hitler was naïve and weak. By presenting the conflicting views of Chamberlain, Eden and Churchill from the perspective of the pre-war years, he outs forward the view that Chamberlain, correctly foreseeing the long-term damage the war would do to Britain, was justified in pursuing the chance of peace.
This is the first of three revisionist titles John Charmley wrote challenging the accepted version of British foreign policy in the mid-twentieth century; the other two titles are Churchill: The End of Glory and Churchill's Grand Alliance . All three are being reissued in Faber Finds.

I read with disbelief that Longleat, that family friendly day out park in Wiltshire, owned by that loveable rogue the Marquis of Bath (78) has arbitarily fired all their over 65's, just because they are over 65!!!Last Modified By cheddar-caveman at 12 Dec 2010 - 7:55 PM
Quote: Seems fair enough to me.
Obviously not a pensioner trying to live on £90/week!
Not a pensioner, I`m just somebody out of work and trying to survive on £65 a week.
At the moment people at 65 or over can be made to retire, even if they want to continue working.
This will change soon as new laws are phased in.
Some employers seem to be clearing out their old people rather than wait and see how the new laws work.
(The marquis is definitely not the only one)
For the country as a whole it doesn't really make sense to kick out some of the most experienced and capable individuals simply because they reached a certain age, especially with a longer living population and the the difficulty of paying pensions.
A bit of background http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/7995276/Retirement-law-needs-clarifying....
Given the protests in France etc over rising the retirement age there is an irony in this. UK employment law does allow for an employer to force a person to retire if over 65. Bit of a balancing act, retirement ages need to rise but with high unemployment forced retirement will open up jobs for the un-employed. My concern would be is this part time work that is coming free rather than full time work.
Quote: Not a pensioner, I`m just somebody out of work and trying to survive on £65 a week.
Sorry to hear that Paul. So how come, made redundent? Never worked (like one of my daughters now in her 40's)? Are you prepared to work for £5+ an hour? Are you prepared to move to where there is work? (there will be jobs at Longleat!) Are you prepared to do any job that comes along?
Loads of questions behind this answer!
Quote: forced retirement will open up jobs for the un-employed. My concern would be is this part time work that is coming free rather than full time work
Some big assumptions there. At Longleat it might be part timers and low grade work. But I'm thinking for example about people with a wealth of experience, and engaged in training young people who are starting out in their career. Or the one who had just negotiated a contract which would bring money into the organizaton, the sort of person who might create a vacancy for an assistant. Forcibly retiring them may not create jobs and may actually lose jobs or opportunities for younger people.
The problem I think is that eventually everyone will reach a time when they can't really work effectively.
If there isn't a standard cut off age, dealing with this might be difficult, and employers often want to play safe and avoid the hassle.
I know of one employer which plans on clearing out its over 65 people. Some of them are fighting it, some of them are keen to take the redundancy and go.
The hospital were I work have finished all the over 65s ...These people "nursing staff/clarks still do a great job and can do the job better than some younger staff....What a shame you get asked to leave after 30+ years of being loyal to your company.....Being pushed on the scrap heap before you are ready...... They have not been replased so the unployed have not been given their jobs...
PS no Redundancy was offered either....
Of course it is right to fire all the over 65s.....you dont have to pay them off!!.....you can then get cheaper labour!!........Never mind about all the experience they bring to the workplace.......employers will find that out soon enough....possibly to there cost...the fact that a lot of us elders dont feel a day over 30 or even act it has nothing to do with it............the fact that we can do more manual work than someone half our age counts for nothing, we feel comfortable in our skin...capable of anything..and we dont moan on about things.we just get on and do it !!.....employers lose us at your peril !!
Quote: bring it down to 60 for me if they release a pension, ive been ready for 5 years and im only 58
Would make more sense than raising the retirement age.

LAWRENCEVILLE - A police officer investigating suspicious activity at a Lawrenceville apartment complex was led on a nine-mile police chase along Five Forks Trickum Road Monday night.Maj. Paul King, spokesman for the Lawrenceville Police Department, said an officer was patrolling the area near Cherokee Court apartments when he noticed the lit taillights of a black Chevrolet pickup truck stopped in the apartment's parking lot. The officer noticed a man walking across the dark parking lot, who fled to the truck when the officer approached him. Suspecting the truck's driver had been trying to break into cars, the officer followed the suspect, which led to a high-speed chase. Police followed the truck nine miles traveling south on Five Forks Trickum Road, ending the chase near Heritage Way in DeKalb County. King said the pursuit ended without the capture of the driver of the truck. Police stopped pursuing the vehicle because of the risk of endangering others on the road. After running the license plate number of the vehicle, police found the truck was registered in a woman's name.

The Aviator (2004)
[last lines]
Howard Hughes: The way of the future.
Howard Hughes: I want ten chocolate chip cookies. Medium chips. None too close to the outside.
Katharine Hepburn: Men can't be friends with women Howard. They must posses them or leave them be. It's a primitive urge from caveman days. It's all in Darwin. Hunt the flesh. Kill the flesh. Eat the flesh. That's the, ah, male sex all over.
Ava Gardner: You listened to my phone calls?
Howard Hughes: No! No! No! Honey I would never do that! I'd never do that! I... I just read the transcripts, that's all.
Howard Hughes: Does that look clean to you?
Ava Gardner: Nothing's clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?
Howard Hughes: You don't care about money because you've always had it.
Howard Hughes: You want to go to war with me?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: It's not me, Howard. It's the United States Government. We just beat Germany and Japan. Who the hell are you?
Howard Hughes: [pensively weighing options] I could do that.
TWA Executive: Do what?
Howard Hughes: Buy it.
TWA Executive: You wanna *buy* the airline?
Howard Hughes: Well why not? We don't want a bunch of pencil-pushers gettin' in the way of us makin' our plane now do we?
TWA Executive: No...
Howard Hughes: [walking away] You call Noel Dietrich. You tell him to start buying!
TWA Executive: [yelling after him in shock] Hang on Howard! You sure you don't want to stop and think about this for a second?
Howard Hughes: Nope! I've got a tiger by the tail here and I'm not about to let go!
Katharine Hepburn: What's that on the steering wheel?
Howard Hughes: Cellophane. If you had any idea of the crap that people carry around on their hands.
Katharine Hepburn: What kind of crap?
Howard Hughes: You don't wanna know.
Howard Hughes: [as Hepburn leaves him] Actresses are cheap in this town - and I got a lot of money.
Doctor: [after detailing Hughes's terrible injuries in the plane crash] He's getting blood transfusions now, but, uh...
Noah Dietrich: Whose blood?
Doctor: I'm sorry?
Noah Dietrich: Whose blood?
Doctor: From our stock.
Noah Dietrich: Oh, he's not gonna like that.
Doctor: Mr. Dietrich... I doubt he's ever gonna like or dislike anything again. I'm terribly sorry.
Jack Frye: So you want me to bribe senators?
Howard Hughes: I don't want them bribed, Jack. I want it done legally. I want them bought.
Spencer Tracy: Trouble with Mr. Hughes?
Katharine Hepburn: There's too much "Howard Hughes" in Howard Hughes. That's the trouble.
Howard Hughes: Look at me, Kate. Stop acting.
Katharine Hepburn: Ha. I'm not acting.
Howard Hughes: I wonder if you even know any more.
Katharine Hepburn: Don't be unkind.
Howard Hughes: No, wait! Honey, you can't move! You can't move, you're safe here! You're in the germ-free zone now, y'understand?
Ava Gardner: I'll take my chances.
Howard Hughes: No, no! Honey, wait... wait, uh...
[Ava removes the string barriers from the doorway and walks into the study. She turns on the light, revealing that entire room is covered with used tissues and string barriers everywhere. Silence for a moment]
Ava Gardner: Love what you've done with the place...
Howard Hughes: Pull back on the wheel a bit.
Katharine Hepburn: GOLLY!
Howard Hughes: I don't think I've ever met anyone who uses the word Golly.
Mrs. Hepburn: We don't care about money here.
Howard Hughes: That's because you have it.
Howard Hughes: Come in with the milk. Come in with the milk. Come in with the milk.
Howard Hughes: Do you know those men? Do they work for me?
Noah Dietrich: Everybody works for you, Howard.
Ava Gardner: Get that crazy bitch away from me!
Howard Hughes: [doesn't hear what Kate says] Excuse me?
Katharine Hepburn: Well, if you're deaf, you must own up to it. Get a hearing aid, or see my father. He's an urologist, but it's all tied up inside the body, don't you find?
Howard Hughes: Mmm.
Katharine Hepburn: Me, I keep healthy. I take seven showers a day to keep clean, also because I'm so vulgarly referred to as "outdoors-y." Well, I'm not "outdoors-y," I'm athletic. I sweat! There it is, now we both know the sordid truth: I sweat, and you're deaf. Aren't we a fine pair of misfits?
[Howard is getting attention after flying around the world in 3 days]
Katharine Hepburn: You know, fame is supposed to be *my* turf.
Ava Gardner: You don't own me, Howard. I'm not one of your teenage whores and I'm not some damn airplane!
Katharine Hepburn: I've been famous - for better or worse - for a long time now... I wonder if you know what that really means.
Howard Hughes: I got my fair share of press on Hell's Angels. I'm used to it.
Katharine Hepburn: Are you?
Katharine Hepburn: Howard, we're not like everyone else. Too many acute angles. Too many eccentricities. We have to be very careful not to let people in or they'll make us into freaks.
Howard Hughes: Kate, they can't get in here. We're safe.
Katharine Hepburn: They can always get in. When my brother killed himself there were photographers at the funeral. There's no decency to it.
Howard Hughes: Sometimes I truly fear that I... am losing my mind. And if I did it... it would be like flying blind.
Howard Hughes: What the *hell* does a senator from Maine need to fly to Peru for?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: ...we would like him to reappear. Would you ask him to return?
Howard Hughes: No, I don't think I will.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: Will you try to have him return?
Howard Hughes: No, I don't think I'll try.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: You don't think you'll try?
Howard Hughes: No, I don't think so.
Howard Hughes: Find me some clouds!
Juan Trippe: If you let him testify at that hearing, the whole world will see what he's become. They should remember him for what he was.
Howard Hughes: I feel like a little adventure.
Katharine Hepburn: Do your worst, Mr. Hughes.
Howard Hughes: Will you marry me?
Ava Gardner: You're too crazy for me.
Katharine Hepburn: [flying Howard's plane] Howard, there's a rather alarming mountain heading our way.
Howard Hughes: You have called me a liar and a thief and a war profiteer.
Howard Hughes: That's just what we do in my business.
Howard Hughes: Actresses are cheap in this town, darlin'. And I got a lot of money.
Katharine Hepburn: Please, Howard, this is beneath you.
Howard Hughes: No no. This is exactly me. You come over here out of the blue and tell me you're leaving me for someone else and you have the nerve to expect graciousness?
Katharine Hepburn: I expected a little maturity, I expect you to face this situation like an adul...
Howard Hughes: DON'T TALK DOWN TO ME! Don't you EVER talk down to me! You are a movie star, nothing more!
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: [talking of Howard Hughes] I'll have him dragged here to Washington. I want to see the whites of his lies.
Howard Hughes: [talking of Juan Trippe] He owns Pan-Am. He owns Congress. He owns the Civil Aeronautics Board. But he does not own the sky.
Glenn Odekirk: 352 on your last run!
Howard Hughes: She'll go faster.
Katharine Hepburn: Can't you just eat ice cream out of a bowl, like everyone else?
Noah Dietrich: Get a doctor! No one sees him like this!
[first lines]
Allene Hughes: Q-u-a-r-a-n-t-i-n-e.
Young Howard Hughes: Quarantine. Q-u-a-r-a-n-t-i-n-e. Quarantine.
Katharine Hepburn: I've got a better idea, take me flying! Or better yet, I'll take you flying!
Howard Hughes: Do your worst, Miss Hepburn.
[on "The Outlaw"]
Glenn Odekirk: Howard, you really think they're gonna let you put out a whole movie just about tits?
Howard Hughes: Sure. Who doesn't like tits?
Howard Hughes: I care very much about aviation.
Ava Gardner: Oh, a box of trash! You shouldn't have.
Professor Fitz: Well, the cumulonimbus formations about which you speak that look like...
Howard Hughes: Giant breasts full of milk. I want clouds, damn it.
Professor Fitz: Yes, clouds that look like giant breasts full of milk, cannot exactly be guaranteed for any particular occasion. So you might have to... to wait.
Howard Hughes: Then we'll wait. Look, whatever they pay you at UCLA I'm doubling it, all right? You work for me now. Find some clouds. Find some clouds! Find me some clouds!
Hell's Angels Pilot: Welcome to Hell's Angels.
Howard Hughes: I've been to Chatsworth, Santa Cruz, Encino, San Diego, Riverside, Van Nuys, and Bakersfield. It has been eight months! Where are my goddamn clouds, huh?
Professor Fitz: They move, Mr. Hughes! Clouds move. That's what they do. They move!
Noah Dietrich: Nice day.
Howard Hughes: Yeah, very funny.
Noah Dietrich: Listen, I got a call from Houston. They're getting real nervous about all this.
Howard Hughes: Stop showing them the damn bills, Noah.
Noah Dietrich: That would be illegal, Howard.
Howard Hughes: Shit, no. Maybe it's a little bit naughty.
Howard Hughes: I'm Howard Hughes, the aviator.
Howard Hughes: Stop there, if you please, Miss Domergue. Have you had surgery, Miss Domergue?
Faith Domergue: No.
Howard Hughes: Do you have scars of *any* kind?
Faith Domergue: No.
Howard Hughes: Wipe off your lipstick. That's much better. Now you understand that you'd be under contract to me. Personally. Do you know what that means? Now turn around for me. Now very nice. You move well. Live with your family, do you?
Faith Domergue: Yes.
Howard Hughes: That's nice. Tell me somethin'. How old are you, Miss Domergue?
Faith Domergue: Fifteen.
Howard Hughes: Holy Mother of God.
Howard Hughes: Don't tell me I can't do it; don't tell me it can't be done!
Howard Hughes: Boy, you are just hitting on all six cylinders, aren't you? My God. Would you do me a favor and just? Would you just smile for me one time? Just once?
[cigarrete girl smiles]
Howard Hughes: Yeah. Yeah. You see, you got a short upper lip. Makes for a much nicer smile. See, I wonder what gives a beautiful woman like you pleasure. I mean, say you're just standing there, right? And I just touch you. Just... Just like this. With my fingertips. Do you...? Do you like that? Do you? You see, I wanna learn what pleases you. I wanna learn everything about you. Would you let me do that? Would you give me that job?
Howard Hughes: Show me all the blueprints. Show me all the blueprints. Show me all the blueprints... show me all the blueprints... show me all the blueprints... show me all the blueprints...
Noah Dietrich: You've just placed the largest order for aircraft in the history of the United States, Howard! I've got a bill here from Lockheed-Martin for forty million dollars! Do you think I've got that just sitting around in petty cash?
Noah Dietrich: I've gotta tell you, the board over in Houston has been getting a little concerned about the cost of this operation out here.
Howard Hughes: [grimicing] Ah! would you stop showing them the books, Noah?
Noah Dietrich: That's illegal Howard.
Howard Hughes: [smiling] Well, maybe it's a little naughty.
Noah Dietrich: We're incorporated in Houston. The board has to see the books.
Howard Hughes: Well, incorporate a new division out here. We'll call it Hughes Aircraft. Get into that will ya?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: All right, let's get down to business. Let's talk turkey. My investigation...
[He nearly bursts into laughter]
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: My investigation has turned up a lot of dirt. It could be really embarassing if this stuff got out. I'd like to save you from that embarassment.
Howard Hughes: That's very kind of you, Owen.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: My committee has the power to hold public hearings. I'd like to spare you from that.
Howard Hughes: [smirks] Would you, now?
[Brewster abruptly drops his silverware]
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: Look, do you wanna go down in history as a war profiteer, Howard? Is that what you want?
Howard Hughes: [gravely] What do you want, Owen?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: You agree to support my C.A.B. bill, and I won't hold public hearings.
Howard Hughes: I can't do that, Owen. Can't do that. The C.A.B. bill would kill TWA.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: Sell T.W.A. to Pan Am. You'll get a good price. You'll get a fair price, I'm telling you.
Howard Hughes: And then...? Then you won't go public?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: Right. That's right. The investigation's closed. Nobody knows a thing. It's better for everybody.
Howard Hughes: You know, Owen, I'm still wondering one thing. The picture of the llama you got last year. Where'd you sail from?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: [disinterested] We didn't sail. We flew.
Howard Hughes: You flew?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: Yeah.
Howard Hughes: Ah.
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: [Brewster stops chewing abruptly, realizing what Howard's implying]
Howard Hughes: [leans in] Are you sure you want to do this, Owen? You want to go to war with me?
Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster: It isn't me, Howard. It's the United States government. We just beat Germany and Japan. Who the hell are you?
Katharine Hepburn: Let me take the wheel.
[from trailer]
Howard Hughes: I'm in a street fight, and I'm not going to lose.
[Howard takes Kate to the Cocoanut Grove]
Katharine Hepburn: Your kind of a joint, is it? Wouldn't have thought.
Howard Hughes: Yeah, well, they're open late. I go to a hot dog stand on La Cienega, too; they're open 'til around 4.
Katharine Hepburn: Are they? How marvelous!
Howard Hughes: You're the tallest woman I have ever met.
Katharine Hepburn: And all sharp elbows and knees. Beware.
Glenn Odekirk: We installed the 450 radial, but the struts won't take the vibration. Minute we go contact, the struts start craking at the attach points.
Howard Hughes: Dammit, Odie, if the 450's too big, figure something else out!
Glenn Odekirk: We've done everything - we've rebuilt her from top to bottom. If we drain the fuel tank for a couple of runs she might make 180 mph.
Howard Hughes: I want minimum 200.
Glenn Odekirk: Yeah, well, I want a date with Theda Bara, but that ain't gonna happen either.
Howard Hughes: Don't be so sure... OK, OK, OK, this is a simple engineering problem. We just gotta think it out.
Howard Hughes: So if the struts won't sustain the engine we need - then we gotta get rid of them.
Glenn Odekirk: Then the top wing falls off.
Howard Hughes: Then let it.
Glenn Odekirk: What?
Howard Hughes: Who says we need a top wing?
Howard Hughes: Who says we need *anything*?
[Glenn is warming up to Hughes' idea]
Glenn Odekirk: A monoplane...
Howard Hughes: A cantilevered monoplane. They're doing it in France. To the hell with the top wing and the struts...
Glenn Odekirk: 550 Whitney Wasp engine...
Howard Hughes: 100 octane fuel will give us a top horsepower of - what?
Glenn Odekirk: Seven hundred.
Howard Hughes: Squeeze it to a thousand and we got the fastest plane ever built.
Glenn Odekirk: You know, I just gotta say... we've already spent over $200,000 rebuilding this plane.
Howard Hughes: To the hell with it.
Howard Hughes: Tear it up, Odie.
[Glenn takes a sledgehammer and annihilates the struts on the top wing; the top wing falls off]
Howard Hughes: Little Howard likes citrus.
Jack Frye: You want me to bribe senators?
Howard Hughes: I don't want them bribed, Jack. I want this done legal. I want them *bought*.
Juan Trippe: [walks away from TV showing the Hughes investigation trial] Switch it off.
Pan-Am Employee: The hearings aren't over yet.
Juan Trippe: The hearings *are* over.
[Is looking at a map of the globe]
Juan Trippe: The airline bill will be defeated in the senate. TWA will beging flights over New York to Paris, leaving over Moscow to Japan - to Hawaii - to Los Angelses - To New York.
[Realizes that Pan Am's monopoly is finished]
Juan Trippe: Fuck.
Howard Hughes: Thats just what we do in my buisness.
Howard Hughes: I read in the magazines that you play golf.
Katharine Hepburn: On occasion...
Howard Hughes: How 'bout nine holes?
Katharine Hepburn: *Now*, Mr. Hughes?
Ava Gardner: ...You can't buy me, Howard, so stop trying. Don't buy me any more diamonds or sapphires or any other damn thing. You can buy me dinner...
James McNamara: Well, it certainly looks at this moment that Howard Hughes will be around the United States for quite some time to come.

The sun doesn't shine where i come from.
It's all pale skin. Black hair and lips the colour of plum.
A beauty lost in the distance.
Failing to live. Losing its existence.
The sun doesn't shine where i come from.
It's all pale skin. Black hair and lips the colour of plum.
A beauty lost in the distance.
Failing to live. Losing its existence.
I want something that i know for certain i can't have. It hurts to face the truth so brutally. There's always a constant battle going on between me and myself. At times i manage to convince myself that i can have what i need so urgently. I dream up scenarios and envisage such beauty. The things we could get up to. Places we could visit. How lost in the world we could be. But i can't let myself live like this in my imagination. And so, i face up to reality. Everything slowly comes crashing down and my world is bleak once more. I know for certain i can't have what i need yet i keep on hoping for the impossible.
And it burns like hell. Literally.
For you see i sinned. And i sin again.
The same sin in repeat just a different shade.
A different person.
A different heartbeat to destroy.
Imagine happiness. Now let it go.
And with every flicker of it fading, an overwhelming sadness takes hold.
It's bold, cold and stories of selling your soul it told.
I managed to partially destroy myself. Etch a fresh set of scars. Maybe i should be put behind bars. Injected with colourful fluids and tied up to stare at blankness. Hallucinate about times that never were. Of past scars. Smile at the thought of the pain and the sting. Smirk at the darkness building up deep within. Frown when it's not painful enough. I'm going to call my own bluff. The isn't tough enough. The edge, not rough enough. I shall rebuff. I don't completely want to snuff, out my life. Just play a little rough.
But to be fair. Throw me away. Lock up the key. Send me to hell for eternity.
I don't think i can cope anymore. With myself that is. With everything going on inside my head. With the past creeping up everywhere. There's so much regret and guilt and pain. I can never forgive myself and i can't seem to let go. It haunts me constantly. Always at the back of my mind. I've made mistakes. So many. Too many to live with. It just sits there slowly eating at me but i ignore it. Push it back. I refuse to give in. I refuse to self destruct. And then there's times where i wouldn't mind just giving in. Baring myself to myself fully so that i can just pick myself apart until there's nothing left. Until i am numb and dead.
I push everyone away that tries to help. I don't want help. I don't need it. I'm fine i lie. I fool myself and others. I believe my own lies so much that they're not lies. They're the truth. I hurt everyone around me and then that adds to the guilt, slowly building. I'm going to fall one day. Further than ever before. I won't be able to come back or regain myself. I'll be stuck in an emptiness so deep that there won't be an end to it. I will be my own downfall. I will kill myself. Someday.
The only way out is impossible and the only way in is closed off.
There's no escape. No room for error. You get one shot. Not three. You miss, and you shoot me. Dead. Then fed. To the dogs.
They drown you and pull you back to the surface just as you lose the battle to live. Enclose you in cells of concrete full of corpses. You break a bone in hope to cope. To feel the pain. To know you're alive. You strive and thrive… and then, nothing.
It's gone. You're numb. A mere toy for their pleasure. The corpses comfort you so you break a bone of theirs. The serrated edge brings hope one more as the blood gushes through the deep cut and surrounds you. As the pool of crimson grows larger, you become weaker. And with each shallow breath till your very last, you feel finally at peace.
And then they let you down. It's not even the "Yeah, i'm sorry" kind of let down. It's the harsh, having to find out from someone else, for yourself, feeling betrayed kind of let down. It hurts more because you thought they trusted you. You certainly trusted them. But what for? You trusted their lies and deceit and the act they put up only to find out that all the trust you put in them was for nothing. Everything you trusted them with, secrets, personal affairs and your whole life no longer belonged just to you and them. They'd shared it far and wide. People look at you as you walk. They know. They know things you swore to yourself no one would ever know.
Just keep your head down and walk on like they're not whispering about you.
The light shines yet the shadows creep.
Bringing with them a darkness so deep.
Step in to the shadows to hide,
from yourself, from others,
from being tired of being tied,
from being lied, to.
Hide from that yourself.
That side that died that makes you want to cry.
Sleep in the darkness to forget you.
You're screwed. We're through.
You grew. You flew, you fell. Hard. Landed in hell.
Oh well. Yell as hard as you can. You're fault. You sold. You sell. Your soul.
Regret the past. Living life fast. Wasting away. Decaying. Praying. Life fraying. You've got to do some slaying to get out of this staying in a betraying place.
Remember, leave no trace, no pace, chase, no heartbeat bass. Throw down your ace. Run.
Always falling.
Always failing.
Flailing, to find the floor.
The door.
Fear found my freedom.
I felt its flow. It filled me.
It is facinorous.
Let's commit sins it whispered.
It was absurd. Never censored. All blurred.
So we flew. We did.
It was much ado.
We were flagitious.
We're through.
And then you foined me. Neither flinched.
I fell fast. I fell hard.
Swooping down to feed on the pain. Still hungry?
Feed on flesh. Leave the corpse. Fly away.
Forever a cycle.

Pollution linked to autism in children: Study
Pregnant women who are exposed to high levels of pollution have a greater chance of giving birth to children on the autism spectrum, a new study has found.
The chance of a child being on the spectrum doubled in high pollution areas such as cities, compared to cleaner-air rural areas.
The research, conducted at Harvard University, was said to be the first large-scale national study of pollution on the brain development of fetuses.
The findings are published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
"Our findings raise concerns," said lead author Andrea Roberts, a research associate in the Harvard School of Public Health Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Depending on the pollutant, between 20 and 60 percent of women in high pollution areas had children with a condition on the autism spectrum, she added.
In the analysis, researchers studied 22,000 women who had children without the disorder, and more than 350 women with children who were on the spectrum. The spectrum mothers showed a marked tendency to live in areas of higher auto and industrial pollution.
Pollution levels were taken from data collected by the American Environmental Protection Agency.

8 Cool Storage Ideas For the Garden Hose
A recent transplant from a 400-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn to a single family home in the midwest, I'm on a hunt for something I haven't given much thought in my adult life: garden hose storage. And it ain't pretty:
It turns out that it's not so simple to just walk into the local hardware store and pick up something simple, modern(ish), and elegant for storing the garden hose. Instead, you're met with huge, clumsy, plastic contraptions that you wouldn't want junking up the front of the house. So that led me on a deeper search to turn up ten cool options. Here's what I found:
1) Wall Mount Hose Jockey at Modernica, $109
2) 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Hose Reel from Plow & Hearth, $330
3) Resin Hose Pot with Granite Finish at Yardlover, $58
4) Wall Mounted Hose Reel by Yard Butler, $109
5) Rust Proof Hose Hanger by Yard Butler, $10
6) a DIY idea from Sunset
7) Gecko's Toes, $15
8) a DIY with a galvanized pail from DIY Del Ray

I love these "collection" posts that give a wide range of ideas. (And I'll add my own 50 cent version here: http://thereddollarhouse.blogspot.com/2011/08/candle-holder-to-hose-caddy.html)
Thanks AT!
I love all the different ideas for getting the hose up off of the ground-exactly what I need, since I reached for the hose and almost grabbed a RATTLESNAKE the other day, yikes!
That bowl contraption looks like a perfect place for creepers and crawlers to hide. I'll take one of those fabulous hooks, thanks!
Heidikvan, I like your solution. And your blog.
As for hooks, we have one like #5 above, and it won't stay attached to our brick house.
i bought one of these and love it, I only have a balcony but lots of plants to water. Easier than lugging around a watering can, i was able to buy an attachment to hook it to my sink. after you are done the hose winds itself back inside. Might work great for a small yard or patio filled with potted plants. but works especially well for apartment dwellers

Paint Inspiration: Paris
This week I'm in Paris and I've been inspired by the color-rich doors and facades of the city. Saturated blues, greens, and reds, plus the more muted salmon, have all caught my eye, making me want to take some of the colors home with me as souvenirs. A French blue hallway? Yes, please. Kelly green kitchen? Sure!
Here, I've uploaded my travel photos to the Sherwin-Wiliams Chip It! tool and it automatically figured out the colors for me. You could also try the PaintSwatches app, ColorCapture Ben app, ColorSmart by Behr app or another paint matching digital tool.
Have you used your travel photos to inspire paint colors or created a custom paint? Do share below. Au revoir!

That's the aesthetic side of Paris. Why can't the common concept of what Paris looks like be as appealing? The previous owners of the house we bought last year tried to bring a little Paris to the house. Think muted yellows and Eiffel Tower wallpaper, as seen in our daughter's room makeover. Your Paris is much more attractive!
Nifty idea here, but I think you missed the match on door number two. It skews more purple than that rook wood red. At least on my screen.
One thing to remember with those strong colors is Paris is the quality of light in Paris. It falls between Seattle and Vancouver in latitude.

En español | It's the only whole grain with 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Quinoa is high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart and controlling diabetes. Eat in moderation, as you would pasta and rice, because each cup of cooked quinoa has 222 calories.

Bananas are rich in vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, fiber and potassium. They make a nutritious snack that will keep you satisfied. A large banana has 120 calories, almost double the calories of other fruits, but its benefits far outweigh its high caloric content.

A cup contains roughly 597 calories, almost the same as a full meal! But with one tablespoon with yogurt, you will reap its benefits without calorie overload.
Whole grain bread includes the bran, endosperm and germ, is rich in fiber, vitamins B and E and helps with digestion and constipation. It also helps control Type 2 diabetes and promotes heart health. One slice contains approximately 100 calories, a reasonable amount for the benefits it provides.

As of Wednesday, September 12, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- West Newton Elementary School wants to see you dance and sweat this weekend.
The school is holding its first Sweat to the Beat, a free dance fitness workshop open to the Covington and Conyers communities, including children and adults.
"We want to celebrate health awareness in a way that everyone can participate," said KiTonya McCoy, a teacher at the school and director of Dance Time Inc., a sponsor of the event along with the school. "Sweat to the Beat is an exciting way for families and friends to exercise together."
She said she wants to hold the event in conjunction with the recent push for healthy living from First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign.
"I realize that our children love to dance, and as a lover of dance, I knew that incorporating dance into fitness would be a great way to get people to exercise," McCoy said. "We are hoping to ignite an interest for healthy living amongst children and adults."
The event is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the school's gymnasium, which is located at 13387 Brown Bridge Road in Covington.
McCoy said participants will experience two hours of dance fitness.
"We will teach Jazzercise, Hip-Hop Aerobics and Disco Fever (classes)," she said. "Each genre of dance offers the participant a cardio workout while dancing to their favorite musical tunes."
She said music will range from popular songs from the '70s to current artists like Rihanna and Beyonce.
The classes will be led by Dance Time instructors and West Newton's dance team choreographer.
"This event is for individuals of all athletic levels. It is a medium-impact workout that can be modified based on one's ability level," McCoy said.
The event is part of the school's HealthMPowers program, an initiative designed to increase health knowledge and promote health-enhancing behaviors among youth.
"It is vital that we teach our students the importance of living a healthy lifestyle because their future depends on it," said Dr. Takila Curry, principal of the school.

Events scheduled for May should be able to avoid winter weather, but not this year. The Shawnee Mission North Relays have been canceled, the Brookside Art Annual has been postponed for Friday and the sixth annual Cinco De Mayo parade will be postponed as well.
This is just another hurdle for the Shawnee Mission North track team. Having this cold of a spring is making it difficult to run times worthy of college scholarships. Unfortunately for the kids, this is one of their last chances to show what they can do.
The Shawnee Mission North Relays is one of Kansas' largest track meets - it's been running since 1950.
"Last year at this time I was setting up mister fans because the temperatures were going to be so warm that the athletes could have a station to go to cool down," Shawnee Mission North Athletic Director George Sallas said.
Canceling the relays is a first in the 63-year history of the meets.
"I've never seen anything like this. I've been at this school for a long time. Never ever been this cold this late," Sallas said.
The athletic director said it's unsafe to have athletes competing in the cold weather.
"We have to think of the kids. They're a couple weeks away from regional and state competition. Running in these conditions just isn't a good thing. Even though it's a popular and important meet, we can't let kids run in this condition and give it their best," he said.
Track isn't the only spring sport victimized by the strange weather this year.
"Our spring sports have had very few outdoor practices. It's just made it very difficult," Sallas said.
He hopes the weather turns nicer before the school year is out.
"Our coaches and athletes are ready for the sun and nice weather so they can get out and work on their skills to prepare for regionals in every sport," Sallas said.
He also said it's especially disappointing for his seniors because this was their last shot at greatness in front of the home crowd.
The sixth annual Cinco De Mayo parade was originally scheduled for Saturday morning at 12th and Minnesota in Kansas City, KS, but now they are doing everything they can to reschedule the parade and all events that go along with it.
"We are checking with the city to make sure we can have everything in place to make the event safe. Barricades and all the things that go into planning it," said Camin Bell, of the parade committee.
On a brighter note, minus the sunshine, the Brookside Art Annual will kick off on Saturday at 10 a.m. and run through 5 p.m. on Sunday. There will be more than 180 artists at the 28th Art Annual. All types of art will be on display including a children's art activity area.

As the 4th approaches, remembering my #WildGoose2014 #wgf14 friends
4 days removed from returning from Hot Springs, NC, I sit on July 3rd on my front porch wary of the Patriotism-fest about to be unleashed, and most wary of the Constantinian moves taken by so many of our even Progressive churches. We'll sing Battle Hymn of the Republic and America the Beautiful, songs I tend to like, but in the context of "Celebrating America Alongside"; the God/Country talks, I am not as moved by these songs in this context. None of this is something in any way unpalatable for the powers that be. In fact, they welcome it. It serves to moderate and in some cases, obliterate, the notion of alternative community when the values and narratives of American Empire shove out of the picture the Kingdom of God concerns that somehow need to be set forth, again and again, AGAINST the status quo that the Kingdoms of this earth want to preserve.
There was that sense, at the Wild Goose, as in previous years, that we are encouraged and strnengthened to bring home with us, and to "go out" with it. But as I return to the Nashville area, in the breadbasket of the Bible Belt, the theology of the churches continues to ignore the acceleration of the forces that seek to do the bidding of the powerful. They did during the efforts of the Occupy movement, and stayed silent rather than recognize in that aspirational and somewhat strategic public grassroots effort, there was about as clear an opportunity to sound a cry of the gospels and the prophets as has been experienced in this country since the Great Depression. But this time, we have this ubiqutous media here to tell us why it wn't and isan't working, and why it didn't. They didn't leverage the political system correctly, they say, even though what we see when we look at "our political system", a bought and paid for game of power and a battle between moderation and right wing revolution (that ironically seeks a return to exactly what the oligrachs had thought they had achieved once and for all in the "Roaring 20's", but were forced to reckon with an explosion of populist, grassroot movements , and warned by FDR that unless that make huge concessions in tax dollars, they would lose it all. But there, it didn't take them long to build their counter-movement and pit class and race against one another and grow the gap between rich and poor to levels now unprecedented in U.S. history and rendering the U.S. as an Empire that eclipses even the Roman Empire in terms of inequality).
And yet the churches let the cries and efforts of the Occupy movement die down without raising any of their own voices which ostensibly speak for the oppressed. And even as that population encompasses more of us, they remain silent still. The "Occupy" brand has been rendered to the dustbin of history of movements and many point to Occueconomicpy as if the issues which it raised are spoken of again and again, and say, but they tried that and it failed. They "tried that" and it was QUASHED, as it will be again and again if it is left to purely political movements. If inequality does not become a platform and preoccupation of the theological communities, then the status quo powers will successfully leverage the theological accomodations that are widely represented by churches and religious groups that propose what the visions of "The Founders" were. The fruits of our labor will continue to be counted for less by the powers that be, and the welfare of all will continue to suffer attack and implosion.
Gloomy, eh? All I can say is that this is not the end of the story.

|Product Brochure
General Cleaning: Erasable Marker Pens contain an ink that dries instantly and is easily erased with cloth, tissue or Chalkboard eraser. After a period of use, a film or haze could develop on the surface of the board, which is the result of the ink residue that might not be completely removed when the board is erased. Even though the film exists, the marker colors remain vivid. By using a spray-on type of glass cleaner, the board may be given a thorough cleaning. Simple spray the surface and briskly rub with a clean cloth. Then rinse with clear water. Avoid using caustic or abrasive type cleaners.
Erasable Markers: The key to the erasability is the solvent base in the erasable marker, which dries quickly. The marker should be kept tightly capped when not in use. With proper care, this marker will have a very long life as opposed to a regular marker. This marker is designed to be used on the Erasable Marker Board. It should not be used on any other surface. Use only good quality dry or erasable markers. Best-Rite can assume no responsibility for surface quality if other type markers are used.
Caution: As the ink will set after a period of time and may be very difficult if not impossible to erase,do not leave the marker ink on the board for several day before erasing. Erasing the board every day will help eliminate this problem. If the ink is left on the board for several days, the cleaning procedures above will remove the ink, or, the line may be re-inked with any color, and then when erased the line will disappear.
Removing Soil Marks: Soil marks (such as paint, oil, crayon stains, tape marks, etc.), which cannot be removed with washing, may be removed without damage to the board surface by using household cleaners or cleaning fluids such as denatured alcohol. Under no circumstances should cleaners which contain paint remover be used.

They come with the patented variable flow Non-Drip™ teat that features anti-colic valves to reduce the risk of colic and teething nubs to massage baby's gums.

Can anyone suggest whether the assignee for US7530675 would be successful in a law suit asserting this patent given earlier examples of rectangular actuators with similar "underlap" ratios?
Here's why I ask.
Mechanical piezoelectric actuators for inkjets have been around for over 40 years. Every inkjet designer since has optimized the performance of the actuator by finding the best ratio of the width of the piezoceramic element to the chamber width. The answer usually falls between 60% and 100% for most device geometries. Nonetheless, patent applications are still filed with broad claims covering this ratio and being granted. One such is US7530675.
I poked around in older patents and found US4730197 which says in the description: "The neutral plane of the bender or driver formed by the transducer 114 and the diaphragm plate 110 should be near the bond plane between the two components. This requires that the plate stiffness of the diaphragm is about the same as for the transducer. These requirements determine the thickness of the transducer and the diaphragm, as a function of the compression chamber width and length. The width of the transducer is determined to optimize the voltage response of the ink jet. The preferred range is 80 to 100% of the width of the compression chamber. The length of the transducer is approximately equal to the length of the compression chamber."
US7530675 claims a "....ratio of the first dimension to the second dimension ranging from about 0.70 to about 0.99." It seems to me US4730197 knocks a big hole in US7530675. At best US7530675 should have been allowed to protect this ratio for narrow ranges of variables (the variables being those found in US4730197 and perhaps others that should have been cited). The prior art citations in this patent listed for the applicant and the examiner are woeful. All but one are to IP from the applicant's company and the one other describes actuators close to square in shape.

Consuming locally grown and produced foods is an increasingly popular trend in the grocery industry. Lunds and Byerly's have always sourced local products and in recent years, we have focused our purchases more and more on local goods whenever possible. This means that when our customers walk into our stores, they increasingly have the choice to buy local.
Why buy local? Many people choose to buy local for many different reasons. Some like to keep the money they spend in the local economy. This means that their money is staying in the area in which they live, and will probably be spent in that local economy again by the grower or manufacturer. Other people like to buy local because more of the money they spend gets to the farmer and not into things like transportation costs and marketing. Normally a local farmer doing business directly with local stores will see a larger percentage of every dollar than going through large shippers that consolidate product.
My favorite part about buying local products is knowing exactly where my food is coming from. In our world today, it is very easy to purchase and consume food without ever knowing who grew or produced it, how far it traveled to get to you, and how the product was handled along the way. Buying local helps to eliminate this disconnect and get people more in touch with their food. There is something romantic about knowing the farm where your tomatoes or green peppers were grown, and being able to drive there yourself on a lazy afternoon.
We Minnesotans tolerate some very harsh weather in every season. Despite these conditions, our local growers work very hard to supply us with top quality produce year round! Be it local apples in the fall, potatoes and onions in the winter, scallions and rhubarb in the spring, or delicious sweet corn in the summer, you can always find our "EAT LOCAL" signs and products no matter what time of year. We are a Minnesota company supporting Minnesota growers and producers every day. Let's keep it local!
Click here to learn more about our local growers >
What is your favorite local item?
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.

Some of the world's top bowlers converge on South Florida, beginning Sunday and rolling through Aug. 3, for the 51st Lee Evans Tournament of The Americas at Strikers Lanes in Sunrise.
The weeklong event features national teams from the Americas (North, South and Central and the Caribbean). Approximately 140 bowlers — adults, seniors, super seniors and juniors ages 12 to 15 and 16 to 19 — will represent Aruba, the Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curacao, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, the United States and Venezuela.
The draw includes national and international stars such as Colombia's Manuel Otalora and Andres Gomez (both on the PBA Tour) and Team USA's Dana Mackie-Miller, Paula Vidad, Char Hammel, Steve Smith and Eddie Vandaniker. Junior bowlers, who medaled at the prestigious American Zone Junior Tournament last week in Puerto Rico, will also participate.
Competition includes singles, doubles, mixed doubles and team (two men and two women).
The tournament was the brainchild of the late Lee Evans, who was the news-bureau director for the City of Miami. He wanted to unite the Americas (North, South and Central and the Caribbean) through an amateur bowling tournament.
"It was an impossible dream as no one thought this tournament would start at all, because bowling was a recreational sport in Central and South America back then," said Paulette Watson, the third director in the tournament's history. "Bowling is now a major sport in Central and South America, and they keep coming here."
The inaugural Tournament of The Americas started with 16 players from 10 countries, counting a Miami man and woman who represented "Free Cuba." Canada, Peru and Nicaragua were represented by one male bowler each. Guatemala, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the United States and Chile each had one man and one woman, with Honduras represented by one female bowler.
That historic debut tournament was at Cloverleaf Lanes in North Dade County, where it continued to grow until those lanes closed in 2004. So the tournament moved to Fort Lauderdale for three years, then Orlando the next three and returned to South Florida in 2011.
"I never thought it would go 51 years. No one did," Watson said, "but it's the oldest tournament of its kind, and we continue to bring in the best of the best."
The best of the best bowl each day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., except for Aug. 3 when the competition ends around 1 p.m. The public can attend. Admission is free. Visit www.bowlingamericas.com.

"I really liked how sturdy the card is on its own. Although on my computer screen the colors are distinctively light blue, when I received this item I felt that the shade was closer to an aquamarine green. No biggie, I liked them just the same. I do wish I could have changed the "thanks" for "thank you," as I think it's slightly more formal. Having the option to change the top and bottom wording was really nice. I can honestly say I recommend this product."
"Given the colors of the text, I chose to use a black and white photo of my son, and the finished product looks great. The design came out just as I hoped it would. The note card is sturdy - I'm sure it will hold up well in the mail. As someone who likes to display the cards she gets, I know a card like this would hold up well on a refrigerator, cork board, etc."
"I received my order today and I think they are just lovely. The card stock has a nice weight to it and the print quality is very good. The design is darling as well. I'm very pleased with these thank you notes and would recommend them."
"I love the way this card turned out. Even using an iPhone photo for this card the quality was still beautiful when printed from tiny prints."
"I order these as thank you cards for my son's 1st birthday party, which had a construction theme. These cards are perfect!! They are not too big and the quality of paper and picture are top notch!! Being able to customize the title at no charge is a huge bonus and the shipping was lighting fast. Considering that they were a custom print and I received them in less than 10 days I could not be happier!!"

Bismarck and Mandan elementary school students had class in a huge arena today.
The Agricultural International Expo at the Bismarck Civic Center taught children things they wouldn't normally learn.
Students rotated in groups to learn about cows, corn and the importance of nature preservation. "Well there's a couple stands over there that have like a lot of different stuff that I didn't like really know about. I didn't know pigs parts were used for marshmallows and stuff like that," says fourth grader Bronson Ptlez. Students and parents say the expo was a great field trip.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Cozy weekend getaway
Everything about the cabin was amazing! It was immaculately clean and secluded enough to be a perfect getaway. Close proximity to Bushkill falls, which is a must see in the area. We only wish that we had longer to spend here, but we will certainly be back.
Great property and equally great owner
I'm not one to normally write reviews, but I could not pass up the opportunity to thank Dylan for the great weekend. The house was perfect - clean, had all the necessary amenities, and was setup great for socializing. We took full advantage of the location. The two kayaks and pedal boat were perfect for enjoying the sun out on the lake. We BBQ'd on the large deck, lounged on the hammock and also enjoyed sitting around the firepit. Dylan made the entire process easy and was quick to respond with any request. I would recommend the house to anyone.
Fabulous !!
Great place! Just as advertised. Clean, quiet, abuts the woods and hiking trails. My wife and I spent a few days with our dogs. Good base for days trips: Falls, Steamtown USA, hiking, etc. Saw plenty of turkey, deer and a bear on the road !! Previous comments are all pretty accurate: some light switches don't work or are confusing. The ones that are labeled are fine. Word to the wise - out of three bedrooms, there were only two clothes hangers. If you have clothes that that need to be hung up, bring your own hangers. We met the owner and he was a nice guy. The rental agency did not send us address info or key codes. I had to call them a couple of days before to get the info.

Life changes may warrant insurance
Life is full of changes. Marriage, children, a special holiday or anniversary, a new home and retirement all have profound impacts on your life. Your insurance should reflect those changes to meet your needs.
"We recommend a complete review of your insurance
coverage at least once each year," said Karl Newman,
NW Insurance Council president. "Many families
add high-value electronics or jewelry during the holidays.
The first part of the new year is a great time to make
sure you have the coverage you need – both for your
home and belongings."
Nearly 32 million U.S. homes are underinsured, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III). In 2006, 58 percent of homes were undervalued – by an average of 21 percent – relative to what it would cost to rebuild.
In order to make sure you and your family aren't underinsured, NW Insurance Council recommends talking with your insurance agent or company representative at least once a year. Here are some things to consider:
You may qualify for a discount on your auto insurance if you've recently married. If you and your spouse insure your vehicles through two different companies, consider insuring both under one policy.
Consider updating your homeowners insurance to protect new valuables such as jewelry and wedding gifts. After getting married, it's wise to examine your life insurance needs. Starting a family means being responsible for your loved ones. Life insurance also can protect your family if there is an unexpected death to either spouse.
If you've recently divorced, you'll need separate auto and homeowners policies.
Switching jobs or experiencing a change in your salary can alter your insurance needs. If your new employer doesn't provide as much life insurance protection as you had in your old job, you can replace the lost coverage with an individual life insurance policy.
If you received a salary increase or decrease, make sure your current life insurance protection is adequate enough to meet your financial commitments.
For example, a life insurance policy with $500,000 of coverage can cost less than $450,000 of coverage because of a Milestone Discount offered by some companies.
If you've made some significant improvements to your home such as expanding a kitchen or adding a new room, you may now be underinsured. Homeowners insurance rates are based on a number of factors including what it will cost to rebuild your home. If you've added more home, you'll need more protection.
Almost 40 percent of homeowners who say they've significantly remodeled their homes have not updated their homeowners insurance, according to III.

Stories of Hope
Let's talk about Carlos and Caleb Silva, (not their real names). Their mom and dad divorced after many years of marriage. For the 12 and 13-year-old brothers, it was a confusing time. They found it hard to cope with all the changes, particularly with the fact that dad didn't always visit them when he said he would.

Leftfield is a British electronic band formed in 1989 in London, England. From 1989 to 2002, Leftfield was a duo of artists and record producers that consisted of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley (formerly of The Rivals, A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies). In January 2010, Barnes resurrected the band name and having toured the world for a couple of years is now writing new material for a third album. Daley has declined to be involved and is focusing upon his solo career.
The duo were hugely influential in the evolution of electronic music in the 1990s with Mixmag describing them as "the single most influential production team working in British dance music". As with many of their contemporaries such as The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield were notable for their use of guest vocalists in their electronic music. Among the more prominent were Toni Halliday, on Original, Johnny Rotten on Open Up, Djum Djum on Afro-Left and Earl 16 and Cheshire Cat on Release the Pressure. The term progressive house was coined to define their style, a fusion of house with dub and reggae.
