In the course of a busy day, you may write a check at the grocery store, charge tickets to a ball game, rent a car, mail your tax returns, call home on your cell phone, order new checks, or apply for a credit card. Everyday transactions that you may never give a second thought to are an identity thief's bread and butter. Each of these transactions requires the sharing of personal information: your bank and credit card account numbers; your income, Social Security number and name, address and phone numbers, to name a few. While you can't prevent identity theft, you can minimize your risk by managing your personal information wisely.
Catching Identity Theft Early
Sometimes an ID thief can strike even when you've been very careful. One of the best ways to catch identity theft is to regularly check your credit record. Order your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus each year and make sure all the information is correct. Also, follow up with creditors if your bills do not arrive on time. A missing credit card bill could mean an identity thief has taken over your credit card account and changed your billing address to cover his tracks.
These three stories will give you more information on how minimize the risk of identity theft.

Nebraska Wesleyan University's Elder Gallery is featuring "Three Points of View," which includes an artist whose work won a nationally juried competition at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
"Three Points of View" opens Tuesday, February 14 and will feature photographers Dave Read and Dave Woody, and visual artist Khanh H. Le. Read's long teaching career includes 26 years at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he retired in 2004. His photography has been exhibited widely and is included in numerous public collections, including The Museum of Modern Art and the Sheldon Museum of Art.
Woody — a professor at the University of Virginia — won first prize in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, a nationally juried competition. The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery holds this triennial event, and part of the prize is a commission to make a portrait of a remarkable American for the NPG collection. The National Portrait Gallery recently unveiled his portrait of Alice Waters.
Le — who lives and works in Washington, D.C. — is a Vietnamese American who continuously probes his personal and familial histories in an attempt to carve out a cultural identity for himself. Through the process of collage, he tries to find meaning and to imbue new meaning into his works of art. In 2010, he received an Artist Fellowship for the Visual Arts from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
The exhibit runs through March 22.
Elder Gallery is located in Rogers Center for Fine Arts, 50th Street and Huntington Ave. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday-Sun, 1 to 5 p.m. The gallery is closed on Monday.

uhm, i allways try to be nice but is hard this time >.<
first i wonder where did you took all the images of the menu, unless you vary a lot on art style :/
the control was a bit .. weird, hard to use it the first times, i dont know why it says "you ran out of angry birds" when i lose..
maybe adding description about the guard dogs and achievements, or more units than the same dog, or you could put the catapult a bit more far of the castle.. you could also add music to the gameplay to make it more entertaining :3

Scientists believe co-enzyme Q10 could help older women produce healthier eggs for longer
Canadian scientists believe they might have found a way to make it easier for women in their 40s and beyond to have babies. It's all about a clever little vitamin called co-enzyme Q10.
You might have heard of Q10 before, as it's often mentioned as the magic ingredient in posh face creams advertised on the TV.
There's so much advice around about how to get fertile but it sounds like this could really work. The Canadian fertility doctors have discovered that when they give Q10 to mice, it makes the older mice produce more eggs and they're healthier too.
A woman is born with all the eggs she'll ever have and by the time she's in her late 30s the quality of those eggs have severly declined, hence less chance of giving birth to a healthy baby. As more women than ever are leaving it later to have babies, the Q10 breakthrough could help millions.
The Q10 essentially helps to boost the energy in the cells.
Dr Robert Caspar, medical director of the Toronto Centre for Advanced Reproductive Technology explained: "What we found was that just treating the mice with the co-Q10 we got more eggs than when we gave them fertility drugs."
The only glitch so far seems to be that the mice were treated for 18 weeks - doesn't sound like much but in human lifespan terms it relates to 10 years of treatment.
Doctors are now preparing to these the supplement on women 35 and older who are undergoing fertility treatment.

While we are all waiting for the new generation Porsche GT3 , French tuner Delavilla has unveiled a very cool upgrade package based on the current 997 GT3 at the 2012 Top Marques Monaco. While the standard GT3 delivers a total of 435 HP, the French tuner has found a wayn to increase the total output to an impressive 530 HP. The only problem is that we'll have to pay 126,000 euro (about $166,000 at the current exchange rates) if you want to drive one.
The package includes four vertically superposed exhaust pipes, a reworked chassis with specific dampers, an active suspension, and, of course, a new set of wheels offered in any color desired by the customer. The Porsche 911/997 GT3 on display is painted in a very cool yellow color, but customers can choose between 21 color options. The interior can be dressed in the same color as the exterior with a combination of Alcantara and carbon fiber.

Bill Calls For WSU to Study Hemp
By Steve Jackson
Washington state lawmakers are considering a bill that would direct Washington State University to study how hemp would fare as a crop in the state.
The state initiative that voters approved last fall legalizing recreational use of marijuana also defined the difference between marijuana plants, and plants that should be defined as hemp. Although they are the same plant, hemp is defined as a cannabis plant with less than one third of one percent of THC, the active ingredient in Marijuana. By contrast, Marijuana can range from 5 to over 20 percent THC.
The plant has been used throughout history to make rope, paper and other fibers, but has been illegal in the USA since the 1930's.
Now Democratic State Senator Jeanne Kohl Wells has introduced legislation that would allow WSU to study hemp.
Kohl Wells: "We actually want to find out if there is a market for hemp products as well as whether there would be interest in the farming community to grow and produce hemp here."
Chris Mulick, director of WSU State relations, says the University did not want to do anything in violation of federal law.
Mulick: "We didn't want to jeopardize funding, and you don't see any direction in the bill that have us grow the product on any of our campuses."
The fact that all forms of cannabis remains illegal under federal law poses a huge obstacle for any farmers who might be toying with the idea of hemp as a crop, But Senator Wells believes that issue will be resolved.
Kohl Wells: "We will know more within a years time whether the federal government is going to go after the state relating to the legalization of marijuana, if that doesn't occur, I cant fathom that the federal government will go after farmers growing hemp, that doesn't make sense."
The senate bill has had hearings in the Ways and Means and Agriculture committees.

On February 9th, a pup from my litter was rehomed without my consent. Wild Rose Buffy is a beautiful people loving dog. Misty Acres Kennels- the owners of Buffy, placed Buffy without even an email to inform me of their intention. This goes against what most, if not all, Kangal Dog breeders have as a clause in their puppy owner contracts. Misty Acres themselves has this clause. The breeder of the litter has the first right of refusal.
When I found out that Misty Acre Kennels was looking to rehome one of my dogs I immediately contacted both husband and wife through 3 separate email addresses known as their contacts. They never replied to my request to take Buffy back and in fact placed Buffy after my emails were written.
Buffy was rehomed with a dog nicknamed "Sunny". This dog needs medical care. The person or persons who adopted Buffy and Sunny must truly have a big heart. As Sunny's surgery will be in the $1000's. I am hoping that this person will do the right thing and contact me in regards to this situation. I know Misty Acres Kennels has put you into a truly awkward scenario but the welfare of my dog is paramount. I hope you understand.
The search continues for Wild Rose Buffy. I have asked for the contact information for the person who Misty Acres Kennels has claimed "rehomed" Buffy. My request has been ignored. I want to believe Buffy is still alive although every day that my requests for information go unanswered, more doubts arise. I am seeking information from anyone who knows anything about this, please contact me at the email below.
For everyone reading this. Don't make the mistake of listening to only one source of information regarding the Kangal Dogs. Use the internet and contact as many breeders, clubs and lists as you can to make well informed decisions. If you are on an emailing list run by a commercial breeding operation, realize that many of the list members are novice puppy owners, thrilled with their new puppies, or perhaps seeking a puppy- but not informed of some of the really serious issues regarding these dogs. Please seek out different points of view in the larger Kangal community.
Topics such as frank and difficult health discussions, responsibilities of breeding within a small and fragile gene pool, and real conversations on temperament are important, and are usually more open, in environments where there are many breeders interacting as peers and in professional organizations. Where there are experienced peers, claims are subject to fact checking. Health, genetics, and temperament are uncomfortable subjects when marketing is the goal. These subjects are often discouraged by larger commercial breeders, no matter how welcoming and knowledgeable they may seem at first glance. You owe it to yourselves and the Kangal Dogs to insure you are able to meet the needs of these majestic animals. Kangal Dogs are rare. A good Kangal Dog owner is even rarer.Ron Grill

We breed only occasionally, from outstanding Kangal Dog imports. We are very selective about our dogs and where we place them. Our priority is the preservation of the Kangal Dog. We will not breed for profit, so litters are infrequent, but it is worth the wait.
Our dogs are large, solid, and from excellent lines. Please email us if you are interested in learning more about our upcoming litter.
Wild Rose Farm is located on the prairies of Alberta, Canada. We are named after the wild roses that grow in abundance in this area. The Wild Rose is the official flower of Alberta.

One of my absolute favorite things to do is find thoughtful gifts for people. Of course, this normally happens when it's July and I get too excited about the present and have them open it RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW, which is sorta a problem, I guess.
I digress.
When you're first seeing a new special someone, it's SO hard to know what to do around the holidays. You don't want to come across as cold or too overbearing, so what's the happy medium? What kinds of presents should you buy your new partner without making it all weird?
Here are some tips on what - if anything - to buy your new boyfriend for the holidays.
1) Before you do any buying at all for your new boyfriend, gather some intel about how he feels about the holidays. Is he celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or nothing? What traditions does he follow? Don't be nosy -- just try to get a sense of his feelings about the holidays. One of my boyfriends was particularly indifferent toward holidays, which made for a few *ahem* problems.
2) Have a quick discussion about gift giving. Most men aren't particularly cagey when asked an upfront question like, "Should we do something small to celebrate the holiday?" No pressure, no stress, just a quickie question.
3) If you do decide to buy him a gift, keep one ear open as to what he might want. Most people will casually - and unintentionally - say things like, "I like that (insert item here)." Make a mental note of those ideas if you hear them.
4) If he only wants big-ticket items (not from you, I imagine), don't go that route right now. You don't want to overkill on the whole thing and end up feeling embarrassed because he got you a card and you got him a car.
5) If he's shy about talking about what he likes so you don't have much idea of what a good "first holiday" gift would be, that can be tricky. Go by what he's into. If it's music, buy him some MP3s or concert tickets. If he likes nerdy stuff, see what Think Geek has to offer.
6) Don't over-think it. Seriously, don't. Because if you go out of your way to do something thoughtful and perfect, you're going to build it up in your head and and then feel crestfallen if he doesn't react the way you want him to. This totally happened to me once and it STILL makes me cringe.
7) When all else fails, do something like a "movie night in" where you make dinner (or, if you're like me, order pizza), pop some popcorn, and watch the Back to the Future trilogy.
How do YOU decide what to buy your new boyfriend for the holidays?

This was a list on what to get a NEW boyfriend. I'm pretty sure you don't want to go the sexy undergarments and a bow or Santa hat until he's been around awhile. Just sayin'.

"Search and Your World builds on a amicable hunt that we launched in 2009, and can aspect open calm from sites opposite from a web, such as Quora, FriendFeed, LiveJournal, Twitter, and WordPress."
The strange blog post rolling out a underline positively emphasized a contacts in Google+. However, it has been little tip that Google has been incorporating formula from a amicable network into search.
Twitter Reacts and Then Google
However, Twitter reacted negatively to a announcement, with a ubiquitous warn job it a "bad day for a internet" around Twitter.
Google responded fast with a possess post, observant that "we are a bit astounded by Twitter's comments about Search and Your World, given they chose not to replenish their agreement with us final summer and given afterwards we have celebrated their rel=nofollow instructions.
Danny Sullivan's Explanation
Search consultant Danny Sullivan explained a anxiety to rel=nofollow in his possess take on a behind and onward in a post in Marketing Land.
As any SEO marketer knows nofollow is a technical anxiety to a approach that links can be tagged so that Google will not register them for a purpose of calculating PageRank scores. The tab also competence forestall a pages a links lead to from being enclosed in Google itself, he added.
"My take is that Google, by mentioning this in a post, is perplexing to advise that Twitter is spiteful itself by restraint a possess pages regulating nofollow."
However, he continued nofollow doesn't indispensably meant that pages will be dropped, usually that they competence if there are no other links Google finds indicating during a page.
More to a indicate Sullivan said, it appears as yet Google is culling Twitter's pages for information by a normal yield of a web. He estimates that Google has collected over 3 billion pages from a Twitter.com site and other sites that use that base domain.
Walled Garden
The occurrence offers SEO marketers a glance during where amicable hunt competence be heading—each height is anticipating to a uber height for users so they are walling off as most as probable their content. However, these barriers are not as effective as some competence think.
This rejection on a partial of these companies to share a open commons when it comes to a intersection of hunt and amicable is erosive to a junction hankie of a common culture, John Battelle writes in his blog. "But as with all things Internet, we'll usually brand a repairs and track around it."

You never know what you will learn when you visit the library. An assistant librarian in New Mexico claims she's learned quite a bit.
In a lawsuit, Jamie Kurz alleges she was fired from her job in Estancia, N.M., after she told the mayor her boss was having sex in the library's children's section.
Kurz's lawyer told KRQE reporters his client showed up early to work one Friday in August and saw two vehicles in the parking lot. One belonged to the head librarian and the other was a city maintenance truck.
Once inside, Kurz said she heard "unusual noises" and found her boss and a city maintenance worker having sex on the floor.
The maintenance man asked Kurz to not say anything because he and the head librarian are both married to people they do not have sex with in the library.
Kurz told the city's library director and mayor. Then the mayor fired both Kurz and the library director.
According to a letter from Mayor Sylvia Chavez, Kurz was fired for not turning over her key to the library.
Kurz's attorney says the head librarian and maintenance worker still have their jobs because they are "close" to the mayor.
The attorney let the KRQE News 13 news crew listen to audio secretly recorded by Kurz. In it, the head librarian does not admit to having sex in the library, but allegedly does tell Kurz "if she can't handle the situation, she should find another job."
The library's website still lists Kurz as assistant librarian. The head librarian is listed as "Angela Creamer."
The website does not make mention of the children's section being available for rent by the hour.

November 4th, 2013
10:42 am
I don't know any of these people, so I can't say whether the head librarian and city maintenance worker were good at their jobs.
But presumably the mayor believed they were valuable enough that they should not be fired for having sex in the library.
Normally I would say the library employee who snitched got what was coming to her. Nobody likes a tattle tale. But if this event was evidence of a pattern of inappropriate conduct, rather than an aberration, then she probably did the right thing, and the mayor looks like a fool/loser for protecting losers. It leads one to suspect that the adulterous duo have some good dirt on the mayor.

"The maintenance man asked Kurz to not say anything because he and the head librarian are both married to people they do not have sex with in the library." Folks, this sentence begs a lot of questions, such as "Do the couple's spouses refuse to have sex in the library, and only at home?" or should an anthropologist be called in to study whether people having sex in public buildings is a normal part of culture in Estancia? Or should the author have added some additional punctuation?

Glad she reported it, not to embarass the two involved for absolutely tasteless and poor character, but for misuse of a taxpayer owned property reserved for children. Couldn't these two VD/STD poster children have gotten a hotel room to make bacon in? They deserve to be fired for stupidity if for no other reason. If the Mayor or anyone else in gov't did not punish them, they should be forcefully removed from office, and I'm not talking about the next election.

Does the mayor actually appoint a "head librarian?" Seems like the library director would have fired her; hence, the need for the mayor to fire the library director. Well, their spouses know now, don't they?

This Angela Creamer seems like a controversial person even a couple of years ago. The local board RESIGNED just because they did not agree with her hiring as head librarian. This is way before this controversry. And this was with another mayor in charge. This lady sure knows how to be friends with all the mayors.

Sorry about the double post, I posted this in the WOD thread as well.
Going to do Eva this afternoon.
Last time I scaled;
53# kbs 20 reps
pull-ups 20
I was thinking of scaling to 30, 53# kbs and 30 pull-ups, but I think the pull-ups would really have me at a crawl by the third round.
My max rep kipping pull-ups is 26, dead hang 17.
Just kind of thinking-out-loud.
Any suggestions?
Scale up or get time lower first?

In about 5 hours (if I wake up), I will be making this drive…by myself…in a really old car…whose reliability no one is really sure of. This is a little less than half of my total drive back to Yosemite. If I make it to Denver, I have a lovely Genevieve waiting to greet me! PRAY TO ALL YOUR GODS THAT I MAKE IT THROUGH THE FIRST LEG OF MY JOURNEY.
This is also the first step in my being completely cut off from tumblr (again).
Be safe, don't break down, and if you were doing this drive two days later we could meet up in Denver. Just FYI.

I had a client (on my real job) ask me the other day where on the blog I show what credit card to use for what to get the maximum value. I sheepishly said, uhhh, I don't have one. Time to fix that right now.
I not only get many card but I also use a ton of cards. I rotate what I keep in my wallet. I always have my Delta AMEX Reserve card, also my Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard® card and then one I am fulfilling some kind of spend from my latest round. Some cards, like my INK Plus, I use simply for specific things that are set for autopay and forget about them. So let me show some ideas for you.
- INK Plus Credit card or INK Bold Charge card Both pays you 5x back, i.e. 5 UR points per dollar, spent on
"wireless/telecommunications services (excluding equipment such as phones and fax machines), cable and satellite television and radio services, office supply stores and wholesale distributors of office supplies."
So what I do is set my cell phone and cable bills to autobill to my INK card. Simple and max rewards. When I do order office supplies I also use this puppy.
- Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard® card. The Arrival card is hands down one for the best cards for fleabilty and pays you 10u 10% points back when you redeem for travel. Most travel bloggers feel if you can pick just one best card for travel, this is it and a must have card for Delta travelers plus you can spend the points and EARN when flying on Delta – talk about a WIN=WIN!
- Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express. Earn triple points (i.e. 3x) on airfare, double points on gasoline at U.S. stand-alone gas stations, double points (i.e. 2x) at U.S. stand-alone supermarkets, and single points on other purchases.
- ANY Delta AMEX card. When it comes to buying things on a Delta flight:
"Card members will receive a 20% savings on eligible in-flight purchases of food, alcoholic beverages, movies, television shows, video games and audio headsets on Delta Air Lines®-operated flights"
This is not instant credit but shows up as a credit back on your account a few weeks later. But still, 20% is not bad! I then use this for most other purchases to meet the spend to get MQM's each year on my Reserve card.
- USbank FlexPerks® Travel Rewards Visa Signature® card. Charity. One of the great things about Americans is they give to charity. Did you know you can get 3x, basically 6% back since 20k Flexperk points is worth up to $400 ticket! Just like the Barclay's Arrival card you will EARN Skymiles when you spend these points and fly on Delta!
- SPG AMEX card personal and SPG OPEN Business cards. Like most hotel programs you get big bonus points for paying for your room etc. with the hotel's card. The SPG card is the same way.
- Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express. Being able to get 6% back at most US Supermarkets (max $6000/year) is a great card to just pull each time you buy food for your family. Prices are going up each year so why not get some back!
- Chase 80k IHG card (not my link and at the bottom of the list of cards). You can get 5x points for spend at hotels. You can get 2x points for gas, grocery and restaurants but I value PC points much less that UR points so I would stick with Sapphire other than paying for hotel stuff.
So there you have it. This is my basic list for maximizing points. Are there other things you do to eeek out a few more points on purchases with cards? Let your fellow DeltaPoints readers know. – René

Good Analysis. I just throw in teh Venture card and/or the Citi Thank You Premier card for 2% 'cashback'
@Asen – yes. Not a huge Premier fan but the Venture card I still like and use now and then. It is a good program. Txs! – Rene
Doesn't having a ton of credit cards hurt your credit score and end up causing issues for you?
@hugh – no! As you can see from this post the other day (CLICK HERE) my credit score, even with dozens and dozens of cards over the years, is well of the 740 GREAT credit number! The funny part was they day AFTER this latest churn, my score went UP, as a few old inquiries fell off my report and the new ones had not hit yet. My score will go down a few points but in another 3-4 months it will be even higher and ready for my next churn!
A higher available credit, makes debt look smaller (lower debt to credit ratio), those increases your credit score. That said, I would not keep any debt on cards as the interest rate would kill value from your rewards.
Also, keep at least 3-4 cards for the long term (in my case AmEx Platinum, AmEx PR Gold, C1 Venture, Delta AmEx R). Their value and benefits are completely worth way more than the annual fees and they credit a healthy long term credit history (another key thing when churning cards).
Actually Hilton card pays 3 pats for ALL purchases and 6 for gas grocery and utilities like cable cell and Internet payments.
@Tiffiany – according to the link I have they only pay 6x hotel, 3x gas restaurants, 2x all else. But I have the card on the way after my last churn and will update if the printed info is different than my links – Rene
Rene – Ink Bold also pays 2X on Hotels and Gas.
I use the Ink Bold for Gas when the Freedom doesn't have it's 5X going instead of the Amex just because I value UR over MR.
I have branded CC's for Hotels but because I'm always value hunting instead of "status" hunting, thus not always staying at Hotels that I have CC's at, I'll just use the Bold or Sapphire for 2X there also.
As a result I find myself racking up the UR points. Over the last 3 months I've gotten over 250K just through bonus categories + sign-ups for Sapphire/Freedom/Bold
If I could close on my refinance I might be able to go get myself some more cards, I only have one from your list. But that does keep things less confusing
I like The penfed travel AMEX. 5x points on airfare purchases. When redeeming point through penfed travel mall 20,000 is worth $250. Making it a 6.25% card on airfare purchases when redeemed for airfare.
The US Bank FlexPerks card gives 3x points for charitable donations. So I keep the card open for that alone. For me it means about one-and-a-half low-level domestic tickets, so for me it is worth the annual fee.
Recently SPG started giving out 4x points for super platinum members, those with 75 nights instead of 50 in the previous year. This makes the earning with the SPG AMEX 5x or 6x.
[…] out this post from the past to see how you are […]

These past few weeks have all too quickly gone by but I've had the chance to fill them with so many beautiful people and as a result, photographs. I love and am entirely grateful for where I am right now but the idea of where I want to one day be, I really do love so much more. So the chance for a new opportunity, a new technique to learn, I'll covet. A few weeks ago I got to do exactly that.
I had the chance to photograph an incredible artist and lovely friend, Alisha. Alisha's album, "Always With You" can be purchased on iTunes. She is also currently recording for her upcoming single to be released this winter. I have loved the chance to work with Alisha through this process. It's fun to take on someone else's vision and help cultivate and create that for them. After many pretty outfits, exchanged emails and edits, lots is being finalized.
These are just three of my favourites from the day. Alisha is gorgeous and left me with far too many to pick from. I'll be sharing the rest to compliment the day of the single's release.
You can visit Alisha's website here: www.alishamann.com and new blog here: www.alishamann.tumblr.com.

A board may be distorted in one of four ways: cupped, sprung, bowed or twisted.
Cupping is almost always associated with flatsawn cathedral figure board. Look at the end grain and you will see which side is nearer the center of the tree. The board has shrunk more on the surface away from the heart, causing it to curl, as though the growth rings were trying to straighten out. If you look at the end grain of a quartersawn board, growth rings are mostly perpendicular to the surface of the board. The tangential shrinkage is the same on both sides, with the result that the board stays flat.
A sprung board is flat but bent, like a river going around a corner. The bend is normally too minor to prevent harvesting useful parts. A bowed board is also flat, but bent, like a road going over a hill. A twisted board is shaped like a propeller. Severely twisted boards are seldom useful.
These distortions are frequently the result of an abnormal tree trunk or poor kiln drying. Whatever the cause, they are amplified and easily seen in a board that is six to eight feet long and nine inches wide. Such a board should not be rejected on the grounds of distortion alone, because when it is broken down to furniture-sized parts, the distortions are much diminished. Often, one pass over the jointer and a trip through the planer takes care of it.
Wood shrinks and expands in response to water vapor in the air — the humidity. It takes on water vapor and expands when the humidity is high. It gives back water vapor and shrinks when the air is drier. All of this shrinkage and expansion is across the grain. It remains constant in length. A material that behaves this way is said to be hygroscopic. What it does is try to get totally in sync with the moisture content of the surrounding air. We call it moisture equilibrium. In reality, it doesn't happen because water vapor in the air changes daily and, more important, seasonally. It's generally more humid in summer and less humid in winter, and wood reacts to this seasonal change by shrinking and expanding. That's why doors and drawers that move freely in winter tend to stick in summer. It's a slow process, so the day-to-day changes have little effect. However, it is this dimensional change that traditional furniture construction techniques are designed to accommodate, frame-and-panel being the best example. The narrow frame members are made rigid while the wide panel sits loosely in a groove so that it can freely shrink and expand within the rigid frame.
But there is a complication. Wood doesn't shrink and expand the same amount in all directions. When it is being dried, it shrinks almost twice as much one way as it does the other. The two directions of shrinkage are based on a circle because a section of the trunk is a circle as are most of the elements that make up wood, so shrinkage is almost twice as great in the tangential direction as in the radial direction. We call this quirk of nature shrinkage differential, and it's the sole reason why wood distorts in the four ways already described.

6 ways to prepare for a medical emergency
Nobody plans to go to the emergency room, but perhaps you should. Do you know which hospitals or urgent care centers are in your network, for example?
This post comes from Gerri Detweiler at Credit.com.
Michelle wants to buy a home but can't get a loan. The problem? An emergency room bill from six years ago that is listed on her credit reports as severely past due. John is fighting a $406 bill he received after being seen in the ER for what the doctor diagnosed as a case of the flu. And Jerry is struggling to pay over $1,300 in ER co-pays on his limited Social Security income. These are just a few of the stories readers have shared with us describing their debt problems following a medical emergency.
While someone with a serious or chronic medical problem might expect to wind up in the emergency room or hospital periodically, no one plans to get the flu, break a bone or get in a car accident.
More than 54 million people reported having trouble paying medical bills at the start of 2012, according toa survey from the Centers for Disease Control. And medical bills are often cited as a major contributor to bankruptcy.
How can you prepare so that a medical emergency doesn't wipe you out financially? Here are six strategies:
1. Research local hospitals
When our reader Quentin's daughter injured her ankle, he and his wife took her to the emergency room. They suspected a broken ankle. After X-rays were taken, they were told their daughter had no broken bones, and she was sent home with an ankle brace. Quentin got a bill for $1,500 from the hospital and an additional $950 from the doctor before discovering the hospital was not a "preferred hospital" nor was the doctor a preferred provider. After an appeal, the insurer agreed to pay the hospital bill, but just $250 of the doctor bill.
If you have health insurance, make sure you know the locations near your home, work, and/or children's schools that participate in your health insurance network. Not only will you save money by going to an "in network" provider (which usually means lower out-of-pocket costs), these providers must agree to a fee schedule negotiated by the insurance company. If the amount they charge is higher than that, too bad. They can't "balance bill" patients for the difference.
A warning, though: The physicians you see at an emergency room may be contractors of the hospital and therefore may not participate in your insurance network. It's nearly impossible for patients to know this; but you certainly can try to ask -- provided you are not in severe pain or unconscious when you make it to the hospital.
Before you travel, do the same thing: Find out how your insurance company handles care outside your local area and scout out participating hospitals and urgent care providers.
Don't have insurance? Request information about local hospitals' financial assistance policies and review them to figure out which ones may be willing to work with you to reduce the bill.
2. Put urgent care on speed dial
A few years ago my daughter was thrown from a horse, and we suspected she had a broken arm. It was too late in the day to take her to her physician's office so we wound up in the emergency room. Because we had a high deductible for ER visits, her X-rays wound up costing us about $2,500 out of pocket. It was only later that I discovered we could have taken her to an urgent care center instead, and our costs would have likely been much lower.
Many of the common medical ailments that bring patients to the emergency room can be handled in an urgent care facility, and the cost savings can be dramatic. For example, according to data published by Wise Bread, treating an earache will run around $110 at an urgent care center and $400 at an ER. For a sore throat, you would pay an average of $94 at urgent care; while at an ER, the average tab comes to $525.
Research which urgent care centers are in your insurance company's provider network. If you are uninsured, you really need to try to seek care from an urgent care (rather than the ER), if your illness or injury warrants it. Keep those phone numbers and addresses in your phone or posted in your home where you can find them quickly. You never know when you may need one.
3. Give insurance a second look
If you haven't been insured because of the cost, or due to a preexisting condition, you may want to shop for health insurance again. Health exchanges required under the Affordable Care Act are starting to open up, and within the year will be mandatory.
Even if you can't afford great insurance, you may want to consider a high-deductible policy. One advantage of being covered by health insurance is the fact that insurers negotiate reduced prices with participating providers. That means that even if you are responsible for a large deductible, the rate that the hospital or physician charges will likely be significantly discounted by the insurer. You may still have to pay a hefty amount out of pocket, but it can be far less than what you would be charged without insurance.4. Max out your flex account
If your employer offers a Flexible Spending Account, you may want to contribute to that plan to build up a cushion for medical emergencies, co-pays etc. In 2013, you can contribute up to $2.500 a year to an FSA.
While contributions will be withheld from your paycheck each payday, you will have access to the full amount you elected to contribute at the beginning of the year.
Just keep in mind that whatever funds you don't spend on qualifying health care expenses will be forfeited, so you want to make sure you can spend the money in your account.
5. Make friends with your pharmacist
Each year, millions of Americans experience health complications due to medication mistakes and interactions and wind up in the emergency room or hospital -- if they survive at all. One way to protect yourself from a medical emergency is to make sure your pharmacist is aware of all the medications and supplements you are taking. Don't be afraid to ask questions about possible interactions -- including food interactions -- when a new medication is prescribed.
Also take the time periodically to shop around for lower cost prescription drugs so you know where the best deals are to be had. When you find a pharmacy that you believe is a good value, make sure it has complete information about all the medications you take.
6. Keep a credit card handy
Virtually all medical providers accept credit cards these days. If you have a card you normally pay in full, make sure you know what the interest rate is for purchases just in case you need to charge medical expenses. If you don't have a low-rate credit card, consider a personal loan to cover the bill or to pay off a high-rate credit card you used to pay for medical bills.
While it's less than ideal to have to borrow money to pay these expenses, it's far better than allowing a medical bill to go to collections and ruin your credit for years to come.

I am an unemployed US Army veteran. I "donate" my plasma 2x's a week. I like that I can contribute to my household in some way. Normally I would earn $65 a week, but now CITI Bank gets "debit card transaction fees" for the sale of my bodily fluid. Talk about blood $.
