Looking for some outdoor fun this weekend? Ice fishing is improving on many area lakes! Caution is still the most important thing you can have.
Four wheeler's are still being used on many lakes. Lilly Lake in Brown County is reported to have 6" of good ice.
The west side of Lake Winnebago is the most productive. South of Oshkosh in 12 FOW has proven good for walleyes.
Out of Dykesville, use wax worms in 12 to 14 feet of water. Good action this past week.
Wherever you're fishing, never go alone and always let friends know where you plan on fishing. The ice can shift in a moment and leave you stranded.
If you have any ice fishing photo's you can email them to me. firstname.lastname@example.com.

The tandem of Martin Marincin-Justin Schultz is stealing the early headlines with effective even strength and shorthanded play. Actually, they're also scoring most of the goals–5 of the team's first 9 have gone to Schultz and Marincin–and Oiler fans are positively giddy over effective youth on the blue.
We can't get ahead of ourselves–this is not in fact the NHL (a former major league spread across North America)–but the AHL of 12-13 vintage is a good damn league and these young men are passing the test so far with more than a little success.
I follow Eric Rodgers and the Barons on twitter for the latest info, among the things we know from those sources are that Josh Green is day-to-day but more like a week (courtesy coach Todd Nelson), that Roy gets the start tonight and the scratches are Green, Arcobello, Ringwald, House and Abney.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- The website that serves as Wisconsin's front door to the Internet has a new look and several new features.
Stephanie Marquis is with the Wisconsin Department of Administration. She says the Wisconsin.gov website hasn't had much for upgrades in over a decade, so it was extremely overdue. She says along with the more visually pleasing front page, the new site allows you to connect to Wisconsin.gov from anywhere. "One of the key features is you can actually access it on your mobile device , whether that's a cellphone or an Ipad, or any of those type of things, which is just so crucial because so many do business online nowadays."
Marquis says the new website also has better navigation, an enhanced Google search function, and allows them to use analytics to place popular items on the front page where they are easy to find. She says if you're looking for anything in Wisconsin, about Wisconsin, or connected to Wisconsin government, this should be your first stop.
If you need help finding something, there's a new feature for that, too. "There's even an online chat feature, so that if you're not sure what agency to go to, that we can assist you with pointing you in the right direction."
More than 2.9 million people click over 6 million page views on Wisconsin.gov every year to find government services, state agencies, find jobs, and keep track of what's going on in government. Marquis says visitors to the Badger state also benefit from the changes. "What's wonderful with some of that visitor content is you can really pick what you want to do. If you want to travel, if you want road conditions in the state, if you really want to visit our state capitol, it has a lot of just wonderful different content to really help you get there much faster (and find) what you're looking for."
DOA Secretary Mike Huebsch says the upgrade is a, "huge step forward as we work to make it easier to access information about the operation of our state government,"
The department also had a recent successful launch of OpenBook Wisconsin, which allows anyone to see how Wisconsin spends the taxpayer's money.
The redesigned portal website was created by Wisconsin Interactive Network. The NIC family of companies provides eGovernment solutions for more than 3,500 federal, state, and local agencies across the United States.

The morning of awards shows aren't all glitz and glamour – and Sarah Paulson says if anyone says otherwise, then they're clearly lying.
Before she walks the red carpet at Monday's Emmys, the American Horror Story actress won't be sunning poolside, indulging in some last-minute pampering or even sleeping in. Paulson, along with the rest of Hollywood, she says, will be going hardcore at the gym.
"I hate people who don't admit that they're doing things like that before they go because it's a crock of s–––," she told reporters at Saturday's Television Academy's Performers Nominee reception in Los Angeles.

Her guest-spot gig is excellent news for fans of the band – as well as star Lily Rabe, whose on-screen alter ego, necromancer Misty Day, is quite spellbound with Nicks.

"We all enjoy putting our toe in the cold water of fear," Alfred Hitchcock once said when asked about the pleasure of being frightened.
The new trailer for American Horror Story: Coven, the third season of the series, certainly invokes that delight in fright, with a group of young witches stomping in unison to a dark rendition of the folk song "The House of the Rising Sun."
Zoe, played by Taissa Farmiga, leads the march of the student witches towards the entrance of their finishing school, set in New Orleans. Sarah Paulson greets the girls at the door, and they file in to a large, dimly-lit room adorned with a white pentagram on the ceiling.

The Shield Of Your Help, The Lord ! The Sword Of Your Excellency!
in Religion
Please join me Tues March 25th at 11 am CST. AsI talk about The Lord - Our Shield -."Blessed are you, O Israel; Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, Who is the shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! So your enemies will cringe before you, And you will tread upon their high places." (Deuteronomy 33:29) And part of love is the Fathers heart of wanting to protect us. But if we don't understand that about Him- We won't call upon Him as our Warrior - Our Defender- Our Shield. A good analogy would be that of a loving Father seeing their child getting beat up. Would that Father come to their aid and take care of their child to keep them safe? The key to it is in Psam 91:verse 1&2 in the amplified vesrsion says this.-
HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. (Psalm 91:1)
I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! (Psalm 91:2)
For [then]- go read what will then happen( when you dwell in the secret place and when you remain stable and fixed under His shadow)

Magma Cube
|Health points
|Armor points
|Attack strength
The Nether, any light level
|First appearance
|Common drops
Big: 4
|Network ID
|Savegame ID
Magma Cubes are hostile mobs with dark red and black skin and red, orange and yellow eyes found around The Nether. When killed, they release 2-4 smaller versions of themselves in addition to Experience Orbs, similar to Slimes. When they move, they jump up and momentarily unravel into several layers, giving them the appearance of a spring and revealing a molten lava core inside.
Magma Cubes are reddish brown cubes with fiery eyes vaguely similar to Creepers and Slimes, but bright orange. Although they look like normal slimes, when they jump they separate into 8 layers in a spring-like fashion, revealing a bright orange magma core. They release the same fire particles as spawners do upon landing.
Big and small sized Magma Cubes have a 25% chance to drop a single Magma Cream, which is essential for Potions of Fire Resistance. Tiny Magma Cubes do not drop any magma cream.
Magma Cubes have the same behavior as Slimes with some exceptions:
- They jump every 40 to 120 ticks (2 to 6 seconds), one-quarter as often as Slimes. When pursuing a player, the time between jumps is divided by 3.
- They cannot burn and are not affected by lava.
- They do not take fall damage.
- They have natural armor (like zombies), which depends on their size.
- They will hurt you even in their smallest size.
- Their jump height depends on their size.
- Their forward speed is twice that of other mobs.
- They always make a sound upon landing.
- They spawn often near Nether Fortresses.
- Whilst tiny Slimes are unable to jump 1.5 blocks distance, tiny Magma Cubes can.
Fighting Magma Cubes can be very rewarding, as they can drop a large total amount of experience (12-28 for a large one, 4-6 for a small one), and Magma Cream is used to make Potions of Fire Resistance, which can be a life saver in the Nether and cave exploration. Magma Cubes are difficult to fight, however, especially the large ones, which have 31 ( × 15.5) practical health due to their 12 () armor points, and then split into 2-4 small Magma Cubes, which each split into 2-4 tiny Magma Cubes, thus giving a large Magma Cube an effective total health of 51 ( × 25.5) - 87 ( × 43.5) and each small one an effective total health of 10 () - 14 (), and that is not including the fact that when they split, overkill damage is obviously not carried over. However, they don't do much damage (only 6 () for the large one), and they are rather slow (though they can jump very far). It is not suggested that you attempt to fight a large Magma Cube with only a sword, but a small one can be killed in 2(diamond) or 3(iron/stone) hits, and tiny Magma Cubes can be killed with one hit from any sword. If you hit the Magma Cube while it is jumping at you, you can interrupt its attack. It will take 5(diamond)/6(iron)/7(stone) hits to kill. Large Magma Cubes are more challenging, and a bow is suggested. Once it splits, back away (especially if it splits into 4) and attack the small Magma Cubes with arrows. The tiny Magma Cubes can be killed with one hit from a sword or an arrow charged to medium or full. The tiny Cubes appear to only be able to damage you with their bottom side[citation needed], so if you can stay at a higher elevation than them, you can target the remaining small Cubes before dealing with the tiny ones.
|Official release
|Beta 1.9-pre1
|Magma Cubes have been added.
|Beta 1.9-pre2
|Magma Cubes were made quite rare.
|Magma Cubes were given sounds.
|Large and small Magma Cubes now drop Magma Cream.
|Magma Cubes did not show their animation in single player, due to singleplayer being a local server.
|Magma Cubes now show their animation in multiplayer.
|Now swim as a result of the update to the new AI.
|Randomly change direction every so often, reducing the chance of them getting stuck at walls or corners.
|Now randomly despawn over time if no player is within a 32 meter range.
|Appear to jump a bit more randomly.
|Console Edition
|Added magma cubes.
Issues relating to "Magma Cube" are maintained on the issue tracker. Report issues there.
- Every Magma Cube size drops experience orbs. This means that killing a big cube and all its spawnlings would grant the player up to 28 experience, as opposed to 5 experience of other hostile mobs.
- Magma Cubes only have a 25% chance of dropping Magma Cream, but these odds and the number of dropped items can be increased with the Looting Enchantment.
- Despite their fiery appearance, they do not take any damage from water, although like slimes they will drown if completely submerged in it.
- Magma Cubes can appear anywhere in The Nether.
- Magma Cubes are often found in lava but never spawn in it.
- They share their resistance to fire and lava with all other Nether mobs.
- Like Slimes, when a magma cube is not chasing the player it will hop in one direction.
- It seems that Magma cubes can only damage you using their bottom side[citation needed].
- Magma Cubes are immune to fall damage, just like ocelots/cats, iron golems, snow golems, blazes, and chickens.
- Armor gives big/medium/small Magma Cubes 48%/24%/12% resistance against most attacks. It means that you need to deal at least 31 ( × 15.5) / 6 () / 2 () physical damage to kill a cube.
- Magma Cubes appear to glow, as their eyes seem to stay bright at some low light levels.
- Large Magma Cubes can jump 4 blocks high (over a wall).
- Their texture file is called "lava.png" because of their lava core.
- Tiny magma cubes can still attack the player but only inflict damage if the player jumps on them. Also being that if the player is on the edge of a block, the tiny magma cube (or cubes) would be able to jump up right next to the block and hurt the player, appearing to be by touching the feet. If the magma cube (or cubes) can reach the player. Unlike big or small magma cubes, tiny magma cubes do not hurt the player by being walked into or jumping on the player, just by the conditions said above.
- Magma Cubes, much like Slimes cannot swim. Thus, they can get trapped in deep lava, although they will not drown. They seem to move very slowly in both water and lava.
- Magma Cubes of size X jump exactly as high as the player with Jump Boost X.
- The health of a Magma Cube is size squared. The attack strength is size +2. The armor points is size x3, which means that a magma cube with size 9 is immune to physical attacks.

2. While Sagan took the individual honors, his Liquigas–Cannondale team has to be pleased with its overall performance on a day when many teams saw large portions of their rosters finishing well off the pace. In addition to Sagan's win, GC contender Vincenzo Nibali stayed at the front and out of trouble, while Ivan Basso emerged as a rider who will play a key role on behalf of his teammates. For a rider who has won two Tours of Italy and was once a contender for the Tour de France himself, Basso's selfless display of teamwork bodes well for the rest of the squad's Tour de France prospects.
3. For a squad that's been struggling all season, Denmark's Michael Morkov has provided a needed boost to Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank. The Danish track star has spent the majority each of the first three road stages at this year's Tour in a breakaway, collecting points for the polka dot jersey as King of the Mountains. With another gutsy performance today—and with only five more points available between now and Saturday's first foray into the mountains—Morkov will wear the jersey through Sunday (at least).
4. On a day when the rest of his teammates finished well off the pace, Canadian Ryder Hesjedal overcame a bit of bad luck to finish eleventh in today's stage. The Garmin-Sharp rider still sits in ninth-place overall and appears on-track to follow-up his Tour of Italy victory with a strong Tour de France.
5. Rabobank's Robert Gesink and Lotto-Belisol's Jurgen Van den Broeck have proven to be rather crash prone throughout their careers, but today they survived the chaos to finish with the leading group. More importantly, their key domestiques made it through the day as well, keeping their teams intact and healthy ahead of this weekend's first mountain stages.
6. And while some riders might disagree, ASO (the company that organizes the Tour de France) deserves credit for providing fans with another exciting stage finish during the first week of the Tour. Once upon a time, the first week of the Tour de France was known for time trials and flat stages, forcing fans to wait until the second week for dramatic stage finishes. However, in recent years ASO, under the leadership of Christian Prudhomme, has proved willing to try a new formula, creating challenging stages to inject more drama into what used to be a boring first week of racing. Chapeau!

At first glance, it might seem like the general-classification riders have it easy during the opening week of the Tour de France. The race for the yellow jersey takes place in the time trials and the high mountains, not on flatlands. All they have to do is follow wheels and let the sprinters have their fun, right?
In fact, for yellow jersey contenders such as Cadel Evans and Bradley Wiggins, these days are a nerve-wracking prelude to the decisive stages they target. The opening stages take the peloton through a real-life game of Frogger, dodging potholes, dropped water bottles, inattentive spectators, strong winds, and overly ambitious riders.
Just look to Alberto Contador, whose 2011 Tour campaign opened with a series of crashes from which he never recovered. On the opening road stage, he was caught behind a split after a massive 30-rider pileup inside 10 kilometers to race, and lost a minute to the other favorites. Subsequent stages brought more bad luck, and by the first rest day, Contador trailed the other contenders by roughly two minutes.
These flat stages are never as routine as the route maps suggest. During this year's Stage 1, crashes marred the fortunes of Rabobank's Luis León Sánchez and Tony Martin of Omega Pharma–Quick-Step. Both headed to the hospital for X-rays after the stage.
Other riders who lost time included Levi Leipheimer, Jérôme Coppel, Chris Horner, Christopher Froome, and Peter Velits. Michael Rogers, Alejandro Valverde, and Thomas Voeckler all crashed, but made it back to the main field in time for the finish.
The danger of the Tour's first week is amplified by the nature of bike racing. The Tour de France is the biggest race on the calendar. It has the most media attention, and a stage victory—or even a moment of television time—carries huge significance for any rider. It can mean the difference between a contract renewal and a pay cut. Everyone comes to the Tour peaking for his best form. These opening stages put 198 riders, all fresh-legged and frothing with ambition, on the road. Everyone wants to ride at the front, and physics says it simply isn't possible.
Unlike arena sports like football or baseball, road racing takes place out in the real world, and consequently, it involves real-world hazards. Have you ever ridden over a pothole on your training ride? Now, ride over that same pothole shoulder-to-shoulder with 197 of your closest friends at race pace. Even minor obstacles—pavement cracks or a dropped water bottle—can spell disaster at the speed the Tour field moves. During Sunday's stage to Seraing, a BMC rider bunny-hopped an errant water bottle to avoid a possible crash.

Ricoh CX3 review
Review Date : Wed, 31 Mar 2010
Author : Paul Nuttall
Ricoh's latest CX model features an improved sensor, but does that mean improved results?
|LCD screen, Design, HD video addition
|No Raw capture, lack of manual control
Ricoh certainly haven't hung around recently when it comes to updating their digital compact cameras. The first model in the CX series debuted towards the start of 2009, with the CX2 following a little more than six months after. This circa six-month launch regime continues with the latest addition, the new Ricoh CX3. One of the issues with launching a new model in a series with such regularity is that the manufacturer leaves itself open to criticism unless the range is sufficiently refreshed. Has Ricoh achieved it with its latest model, or is it much as the same as what went before?
When perusing the specification of the CX3, what instantly strikes you is that, indeed, much remains the same as before. However, one of the main changes comes in the important area of the camera's sensor. A new 10MP CMOS sensor features which, much like many other cameras on the market, is back-illuminated. This back-illumination offers the promise of increased shooting performance in low-light scenes - a feature that will be aided by the improved noise reduction utilising the algorithm seen on the GR Digital III.
Another area that sees an improvement is video capture - the Ricoh CX3 now joins the club of compact cameras offering full HD video capture, itself featuring in 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.
Outside of the new sensor and HD video addition, a lot of the specification remains the same. The CX3 offers the same 10.7x optical zoom, with a range of 28-300mm in 35mm equivalent terms. The eye-catching 3in, 920k-dot VGA LCD screen is also carried on, placing it amongst the highest-specified compact cameras in that department.
Ricoh, however, has overlooked some additions that may indeed have been welcomed. The CX3 still only offers capture in conventional JPEG format, with RAW files capture still absent. Also, while boasting its own incarnation of the fashionable 'Smart Auto' capture mode, as well as a range of storable setting locations, the CX3 is still lacking the full manual mode one would expect from a camera with pretentions of a semi-serious shooter. In the place where one would normally expect there to be a manual mode on a camera of this level are a few interesting shooting modes.
The CX3 offers an HDR blending shooting mode, whereby two individual shots are captured at once and then combined to cover a complete exposure of the scene. It also offers several in-camera processing modes including a tilt-shift emulating 'miniaturisation' mode.

Welding: Automated Welding Technology
Spark a Career!
Almost every area of manufacturing, maintenance, and construction uses welding technology to join two surfaces together. Welding is an art, it is a science, and it is a precise, reliable, cost-effective, and high-tech method for joining materials. Most of the objects around us, from buildings to bridges, to vehicles, computers and medical devices, are welded.
Welding technology programs are becoming more comprehensive and scientific as new technologies like lasers, plasma arcs, and new materials are being developed.
The Career Centers Automated Welding Technology class provides students with an opportunity to explore a wide variety of welding techniques for entry-level employment settings, as well as the knowledge, skills, safety, and professional behaviors necessary for competent performance as a welder or welding technician.
Students master basic skills by working on state-of-the-art equipment, including robotic welding. The curriculum covers most common welding and cutting processes, including:
The class is presented in modules that include a working knowledge of metals, metalworking tools, blueprint reading, welding symbols, and computer numerical control (CNC) processes. Academic class work and hands-on welding projects are part of each day. Students may work with Engineering/PLTW and Precision Machining/CAM classes to coordinate projects or produce components.
Students who are successful in this program are creative, enjoy working with their hands, and are problem solvers with average math and reading skills.
Eric Johnson
Mr. Johnson has eight years of business experience as both a welding fabricator and sales representative. His credentials include certifications in Certified Welding Education (CWE) and as a Certified Welding Inspector (CWI).

I've been anxiously waiting for the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins for the better part of a year, as I'm sure many of you out there (teens and adults alike) have as well. It officially came out on August 24th, and on Thursday, I got it in at the library. Sweet deal! I couldn't have been more excited.
After the death of her grandmother, Ann Zemke found two shoe boxes filled with diaries Marjorie Peterson had written for over forty years. But along with those diaries, something even more precious was found, a small cardboard book entitled, My Autobiography, My Life—Marjorie Peterson.
Does loving a dog make us more human? This is one of the questions that Steven Winn, author of Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Dog, answers in his book. As a self-proclaimed dog lover, I was instantly drawn to the sweet picture of Como on the cover of this book, and fell in love with Como and his family as I read.
What a wonderful book. It is well worth the hype surrounding it. I am always a little reluctant to jump on a bandwagon because I have been burned before (i.e. Twilight), but I am glad I ignored my instincts and read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. His writing style is phenomenal, and considering it is translated from Swedish, that must mean it is just that good.
Antioch Branch, October 4 at 6:30. Fantasy, adventure, travel, mystery. What is your favorite genre of book? Come and be a part of our Teen Book Club. Read one book per month, and then come and join us for lively discussions. Refreshments served. For September, we are reading:
My name is Nellie. I like reading books that stay with me for the rest of my life, and although I give contemporary literature a fair try, classics are still my favorites. Some of the dustiest books on the shelf are the best. Here are five books I love.
When my wife first taught me to draw, we went to the park, and I tried to sketch a particular tree. I gave up quickly because I couldn't find just the right line to draw to capture any of the angles of the many branches and leaves.
"Don't draw the tree," my wife said. "Draw around the tree."
Possibly so, if the story is about Dogtown, Massachusetts - an abandoned area near Gloucester full of supernatural looking large rocks, and boulders that remind viewers of Stonehenge. The area has not been inhabited since the last resident left in 1839. The town never recovered after the ravages of the American Revolution. It is now only an isolated ruin in 3,000 acres of woodland.
Dogtown's history contains stories of witches, super-natural sightings, and pirates. The area was named for the dogs kept by Revolutionary War widows.
Now here is a book that deserves to be banned. To Kill a Mockingbird has it all--bad language, rape, racial discrimination, violence against children, and the list goes on.

This topic relates to businesses whose main activity involves the collection, treatment and distribution of water for domestic and industrial needs and/or the operation of sewer systems or sewerage treatment facilities that collect, treat and dispose of sewage.
The Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) is conducted in two parts: employment and financial information. This release deals with the financial inquiry which collects information for about two thirds of the UK economy, covering agriculture (part), hunting, forestry and fishing; production; construction; motor trades; wholesale; retail; catering and allied trades; property; service trades. The financial variables covered include turnover, purchases, employment costs, capital expenditure and stocks. Approximate Gross Value Added (GVA) is calculated as an input into the measurement of Gross Domestic product (GDP).
The Annual Business Survey collects financial information for the UK non-financial business economy; variables covered include turnover, purchases and approximate gross value added.
Provides information on the value of the economic activity that businesses generate and associated expenditure across the main industrial sectors in Northern Ireland.
Provides information on the value of the economic activity that businesses generate and associated expenditure across the main industrial sectors in Northern Ireland.
Activities include:
collection, purification, treatment and distribution of water�
desalting of sea/ground water to produce water as the principal product
operation of irrigation canals (but not irrigation equipment for agricultural purposes)
collection and treatment of sewage
Also included is the operation of sewer systems or sewer treatment facilities; the collecting and transporting of human waste water and rainwater by means of sewerage networks, collectors, tanks and other means of transport (sewage vehicles); the treatment of waste water (including human and industrial waste water, water from swimming pools) using physical, chemical and biological processes such as dilution, screening, filtering, sedimentation; the maintenance and cleaning of sewers and drains and the emptying and cleaning of cesspools, septic tanks, sinks and pits, servicing of chemical toilets.
Activities exclude:
treatment of waste water to prevent pollution
long-distance transport of water via pipelines
clearing, de-blocking of drainpipes in buildings
decontamination of surface water and groundwater at the place of pollution
Technical Data
Data are collected from a selection of businesses in the water and sewage industry via the Annual Business Inquiry (financial), (ABI/2), the Monthly Production Inquiry (MPI) and the Monthly Inquiry into the Distribution and Services Sector (MIDSS). All three surveys are sample surveys but the data collected are grossed to provide an estimate covering the total population of the sector.
Aggregated ABI/2 data for the main variables feed into the National and Regional Accounts and are published annually in the 'Blue Book'. It is also used to derive Gross Value Added (GVA), which measures the contribution of the water and sewage industry to the economy.
Other measures such as turnover per head are derived using employment data collected by the Annual Business Inquiry (employment). The monthly data for this industry are used to calculate short-term indicators for both the production and services sectors. All data produced are at current prices and non-seasonally adjusted.
Total Turnover
The total turnover of the business is collected by both the annual and monthly surveys. The annual turnover, together with the other variables, is used to derive industry level GVA. Monthly turnover data are used as a proxy for GVA because it is not possible to collect the individual variables on a monthly basis.
Other main variables collected and used in the calculation of GVA are:
employment costs
purchases of energy goods, materials and services
tax, duties and levies paid
subsidies receivable
value of stocks held
capital expenditure
Gross Value Added (GVA)
GVA is used in the estimation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which is a key indicator of the state of the whole economy. In the UK, three theoretical approaches are used to estimate GDP: 'production', 'income' and 'expenditure'. All three approaches are balanced annually using the Input-Output Supply and Use Tables accounting framework. The GVA for the water and sewage industry is used in the estimation of the GDP 'production' approach.
The link between GVA and GDP can be defined as:
GVA (at industry level current basic prices)�
plus�taxes on products (available at whole economy level only)�
minus�subsidies on products (available at whole economy level only)�
equals GDP (at current market prices; available at whole economy level only)
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) defines the activities covered by the water and sewage industry. The main or principal activity of a business is defined as that part of the business accounting for the highest percentage of the business' total value added. In practice, variables such as employment, wages and salaries, gross output and value of sales are used instead of value added.
The UK SIC, which defines all of the Office for National Statistics' (ONS') business surveys, is based on the European Communities classification of Economic Activities, NACE (from January 2008, a major revision of NACE was introduced, NACE Rev.2).
ONS is in the process of converting its surveys to NACE Rev.2, with the ABI/2 2008 survey to be despatched early in 2009, one of the first surveys to be selected on the new classification SIC 2007. For the water and sewage industry this means that water (classified under 'electricity, gas and water' in SIC 2003) and sewage (classified under 'other community, social and personal service activities') will be brought together under the same classification, resulting in better coverage of the industry as a whole.
All ONS business surveys will be converted to SIC 2007 over the next few years, with the National Accounts system being the last to be converted in 2011. In order to take full advantage of the change in classification, all survey samples will be re-optimised as each survey converts to SIC 2007.
Capital Expenditure (including non-deductible VAT but excluding deductible VAT)
Capital Expenditure includes the purchase costs and disposal proceeds of fixed assets, together with any other amounts treated as capital items for taxation purposes. Grants and allowances from government sources, statutory bodies and local authorities should be included.
Employment Costs
This is the amount the business pays for its workforce to carry out the activities of the business. It includes wages and salaries paid to all employees (including overtime) and also the National Insurance and pensions contributions paid by the employer. Employment costs for subcontracted work where the employees are not directly employed by the business are excluded.�
This is the Statistical Office of the European Communities, based in Luxembourg.
Gross value added (GVA)
GVA is a measure of the value of the goods and services produced in the economy and is used to monitor the performance of the national economy as a whole. It can also be used by individual businesses to monitor their performance, and hence the profitability, of their business. GVA is calculated as the value of sales of goods and services; the cost of purchases of energy goods, materials and services.
Purchases of energy goods, materials and services
This is the amount paid by the business for all energy goods, materials and services used to carry out the activities of that business. This figure is exclusive of VAT but inclusive of other taxes, duties and levies.
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
This is the classification used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to classify businesses to particular industries for statistical purposes including the collection of financial data. The UK classification is based on the Eurostat NACE classification of economic activities, which is widely used throughout the European Community and enables comparisons to be made between national and EC statistics. Any revisions to NACE are made under EC Regulation and all Member States are obliged to adopt the changes. Along with other Member States, ONS is in the process of converting to NACE Rev.2, which under the UK classification is called SIC 2007.
Stocks held
Stocks, or inventories, include all goods and materials on hand for sale or processing, including work in progress owned by the business in the UK. They should be valued in accordance with UK GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) or International GAAP. Long-term contract balances included in stocks should be net of progress payments.�
Subsidies on products
These are amounts receivable from UK government bodies or the European Community to reduce the price of products (goods or services) sold to customers. Grants received from any source as one-off payments to lessen the burden of purchasing capital expenditure items are excluded.
Tax, duties and levies paid
This is the total amount payable in taxes (excluding VAT), duties or levies to government, other statutory bodies and local authorities on the energy goods, materials and products purchased by the business in order to carry out the activities of the business. Also included are any amounts payable in taxes, duties and levies on the outputs of the business.
Turnover (excluding VAT)
Turnover consists of total takings or invoiced sales and receipts of the business in connection with the sale of goods and services and should include any indirect taxes, duties and levies (except VAT) invoiced to the customer. Interest and similar income, other operating income and extraordinary income are excluded as are the net proceeds on the sale of capital items.

LiveSafe: Mobile App to Report Animal Cruelty
LiveSafe is a first-of-its-kind app designed to help you help animals—by letting you report abuse and neglect of animals in your community right from your phone. Your animal abuse crime tips will immediately alert your local law enforcement when animals are in need of help—and justice.
Join forces with the national nonprofit Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) in protecting animals and stopping animal abusers. Get our free app now!
Install LiveSafe and Select ALDF
Scan the appropriate QR code with your smartphone to install LiveSafe. Next, select ALDF as your organization of choice.
- Can't scan? Simply open the links below by clicking or tapping using your mobile device.
Install on Android
Install on iPhone
How It Works
When you submit a tip, a GPS embedded text, photo, video, or audio report is sent to your local authorities via the LiveSafe app. If you live in a jurisdiction that is already connected with LiveSafe—many jurisdictions across the nation already are—then the tip goes direct to your local law enforcement. If your local authorities are not yet connected with the app, then the tip goes to a call center staffed with individuals who will quickly locate the appropriate local authorities and forward the tips to the correct contact for your jurisdiction.
Because the app was built by the same developers who created an already-established national app for general crime reporting, there is already a well-established infrastructure in place that makes sure tips about animal abuse submitted through LiveSafe will quickly and seamlessly get to your local authorities.
LiveSafe has been downloaded by over 36,000 users, and community shelters are getting on board, too! The app is a first-of-its-kind resource for local humane societies and law enforcement. Groups like the Houston Humane Society, Vermont Humane Federation, Dutchess County SPCA, and Delaware SPCA are encouraging their communities to report animal cruelty using LiveSafe. Check out the Houston Humane Society's website.

American serial killer William Heirens wrote this message on the wall of his victim's bedroom in lipstick after stabbing the woman to death in 1945. It earned him the nickname "The Lipstick Killer." 7 months before, he had killed another woman, also stabbed to death in her apartment. In January 7, 1946, Heirens kidnapped, strangled and then dismembered Suzanne Degnan, who was 6 years old.
Heirens was 17 and sentenced to a life in prison in 1946. He's now 82 and still in prison.

The Moxie Showerhead produces a combination of water and sound. It consists of 60 angled spray nozzles surrounding a removable, battery-powered speaker. The speaker syncs with any Bluetooth-enabled device — a smart phone or mp3 player, for example — and streams music directly into the shower. It's held in place by a magnet and can be removed without tools. No wiring is involved; an internal lithium battery supplies an average seven hours of play time and is recharged via a USB cord. It costs $150.

It seems when men go gray, they're thought to be distinguished.
But when women go gray, some people say they're getting older.
Now, the gray of old – is seeing a new day.
Gray hair is suddenly where it's at for a lot of women and for different reasons.
Instead of trying to hide the gray, many now embrace it.
Even celebrities like Kelly Osbourne and singer Rihanna are getting in on the trend.
"It's just a really nice way, I think, for someone to express themselves, and it can look so good if it's on the right skin tone or eye color," Edmondo Blando, owner of and stylist at Salon Vanity. "We're seeing a lot of these girls coming in who have everyday jobs that are going into these platinum looks or accents pieces. It's beautiful."
Blando says he first noticed the trend seven years ago on the fashion runways in Italy, with models both young and old sporting gray hair.

Getting the Gospel of Jesus Christ Right
- Friday, December 03, 2010
Until relatively recently, however, no one would have dared suggest a person can be saved while stubbornly refusing to bow to Christ's authority. Nearly all the major biblical passages calling for saving faith refer to Jesus as lord (cf. Acts 2:21, Acts 2:36; Romans 10:9-10).
Is repentance from sin essential to salvation? Some say that turning from sin is a human work and therefore cannot be part of salvation. To accommodate the biblical call to repentance, they redefine repentance as nothing more than a change of mind about who Jesus is.
Biblically, however, repentance is a total about face — turning away from sin and self and unto God (cf. 1 Thessalonians 1:9). That is no more a result of human effort than faith itself. Nor is it in any sense a pre-salvation work required to prepare a sinner for salvation. Real repentance is inseparable from faith and, like faith, is the work of God in a human heart. It is the response God inevitably generates in the heart of one He is redeeming.
What is faith? Some say faith is merely believing certain facts. One popular Bible teacher says saving faith is nothing more than confidence in the divine offer of eternal life.
Biblically, however, the object of faith is not the divine offer; it is the Person of Jesus Christ. Faith in Him is what saves, not just believing His promises or accepting facts about Him. Saving faith has to be more than accepting facts. Even demons have that kind of faith (James 2:19).
Believing in Jesus means receiving Him for all that He is (John 1:12). It means both confessing Him as Savior and yielding to Him as Lord. In fact, Scripture often uses the word obedience as a synonym for faith (cf. John 3:36; Acts 6:7; Hebrews 5:9). What is a disciple? In the past hundred years or so, it has become popular to speak of discipleship as a higher level of Christian experience. In the new terminology, a person becomes a believer at salvation; he becomes a disciple later, when he moves past faith to obedience.
Such a view conveniently relegates the difficult demands of Jesus to a post-salvation experience. It maintains that when He challenged the multitudes to deny self, to take up a cross and follow Him (Mark 8:34); to forsake all (Luke 14:33); and to leave father and mother (Matthew 19:29), He was simply asking believers to step up to the second level and become disciples.
But how does that square with Jesus' own words, "I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners" (Matt 9:13)? The heart of His ministry was evangelism, and those difficult demands are evangelistic appeals.
Every believer is a disciple and vice versa. A careful reading of Acts shows that the word disciple has been a synonym for Christian from the earliest days of the church (cf. Acts 6:1-2).
What is the evidence of salvation? In their zeal to eliminate good works as a requirement for salvation, some have gone to the extreme of arguing that good works are not even a valid evidence of salvation. They teach that a person may be genuinely saved yet never manifest the fruit of salvation — a changed life.

Comments about Life Extension Mega Lycopene, 15 mg 90 softgels:
Lycopene is a member of the carotenoid family (i.e. Beta-carotene, lutein, etc.).Lycopene has been scientifically proven to be essential for human health...especially for the arteries, prostate, skin, breast tissue, and possibly for the eyes and brain as well.It has also been scientifically proven that lycopene is much more effective when consumed in supplement form or from cooked / processed foods (i.e. from tomato sauce), as heating of tomatoes releases the lycopene and other nutrients from the fiber of the tomato fruit.Lycopene has a great synergistic effect on blood vessel health (the arteries) when taken with CoQ10 and full spectrum vitamin E (both the Tocopherols and Tocotrienols).According to my reading of the scientific studies done on humans, it appears the greatest benefits come from consuming at least 30 - 35 mg. a day of lycopene from supplements / processed tomato products.I specifically like this product, because it contains the patented Lyc-O-Mato brand - the one used in more human clinical studies than all other lycopene supplement brands combined.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mindfulness and Entrepreneurship: Uncertainty as an Ally
Tuesday, November 5, 2013, 7:00-9:00pm
Jerry Colona, Entrepreneur and Professional Coach
When do you know it's time? When do you know it's really time to start the business, shut the business, expand the business, invest in the business, quit your job, end the job search and take the offer on the table, leave your spouse, marry your girl/boyfriend, move to Australia, come home from Australia? When do you know? Maybe the hardest part of leadership—be it leading a company, a family, a relationship or simply your own life—is that often times you don't know and you still have to act. Leadership in some ways is built on learning to be comfortable with not knowing, with imperfect knowledge, with the inherent uncertainty of it all.
Jerry Colonna is a certified professional coach and draws on his wide variety of experiences to help clients design a more conscious life and make needed changes to their career to improve their performance and satisfaction. He also serves on the Board of Trustees at Naropa University. Formerly a venture capitalist in New York City, Jerry played a prominent part in the early development of Silicon Alley.

Embodied Leadership: The Mindful Practice of Focusing
Tuesday, November 19, 2013, 7:00-9:00pm
David Rome, Senior Focusing Trainer and Author
Focusing is a body-oriented method of mindful contemplation that works with specific situations, problems or decisions. By accessing the body's non-conceptual felt sense, it generates fresh insights and action steps to meet challenges and make change. Mindful Focusing helps us both to slow down when we're feeling reactive, impulsive or emotional and also to get to the bottom of what is blocking us from taking needed action, causing procrastination and discouragement.
David I. Rome has been teaching mindfulness-awareness practices since the 1970s, when he was a close aide to Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche in establishing the Shambhala International organizations and Naropa University. In his work as president of Schocken Books and in executive management roles with the Greyston Foundation and the Garrison Institute he has focused on applications of contemplative methods in personal and social change. He is a certified senior Focusing trainer and now devotes his time to teaching, writing and coaching based on Mindful Focusing, his unique synthesis of Eastern and Western contemplative practices. Shambhala Publications will issue his book on Mindful Focusing in 2014.
