Age-by-Age Guide to Giving an Allowance
Must we introduce our little ones to the necessary evil of money early on? Most experts say yes. The question is: under what circumstances should parents give an allowance and how much is appropriate for young children?
A child's ability to handle money sensibly depends on several factors, as Dr. Marjorie Beeghly, development psychologist and research director of the Child Development Unit at Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, explains, "There are four factors which influence a child in this area: his cognitive abilities (can he conceptualize things), family relationships, peer pressure, and the child's personality. Kids understand the value of money in a rudimentary way very early, but when they begin concrete operations at what is called the 'five-to-seven year shift' they are ready for an allowance."
Most experts agree an appropriate time to begin giving the first real allowance is when your child enters first grade; however, there is a difference of opinion as to the basis on which an allowance is to be given.
Financial planner and investment advisor, Carol V. Berman, believes that the allowance should be tied in with something the child is required to do at home: "People get paid for their work, children should get paid as well."
Harold and Sandy Moe, authors of Teach Your Child the Value of Money, suggest, "The allowance should be given, more or less unconditionally because of who your child is … a member of your family who is unique and special."
As to how much to give, the Moes believe the amount of allowance should depend on the family's financial situation and recommend giving the child a large enough sum to buy something, but not so large that they are not required to make decisions such as, "Do I have enough to buy the doll and the jump rope, or can I only get one thing?"
Some experts recommend one dollar for each year of age, while others recommend giving money equivalent to half your child's age. Berman advises talking with friends to determine what other children receive.
In a national 2005 survey of nearly 1,500 children by the research firm Yankelovich, the range in allowance for 6- to 11-year-olds is $5 to $9 a week. For 12- to 17-year-olds, the average is $10 to $19 a week, and around 15 percent of 12- to 17-year-olds received $20 to $49 weekly. (Notably, the study found that fewer than 60 percent of children ages 6 to 17 get any allowance.)
Should you have a say in how your child spends his money? If the allowance is given unconditionally, it should be the child's decision, not the parents'.
At ages 6 to 10, children should be free to spend allowance any way they wish, even if you think an item was foolishly purchased. The Moes conclude, "Let him make his own mistakes now while the stakes are small!"
As a parent you may fear your child will be adversely influenced by peer pressure when deciding what to do with the allowance; however, Dr. Beeghly says that in spite of a child spending more time with siblings and peers than with parents at this age, the parents still have the strongest influence.
"Peer pressure has a big impact. It is very heavy on children, but how it affects a child and how he spends his money still depends on the family's values."
Working parents receive paychecks at the same time and place each week. Children also should receive their allowance regularly. You and your child should decide together on the time and place. As the Moes explain, "This is the child's first introduction to a consistent, reliable form of income."
Withholding the allowance should never be used as a form of punishment. The child might get the impression that the only consequence for indulging in unacceptable behavior is to be penalized a dollar.

Non-normal analysis of variance and regression procedures based on modified maximum likelihood estimators

The assumption of normality appears prevalently in well-known statistical procedures. This may be a drawback, since it is very often the case that the data under study is not normally distributed. It is of interest to relax this normality assumption, and extend many commonly used statistical procedures to include non-normal situations.
With this in mind, we have proposed non-normal Regression and Analysis of Variance schemes based on Tiku and Suresh's (1992) Modified Maximum Likelihood procedure, for a symmetric non-normal family of distributions. The results have been derived both for complete and censored samples. The resulting non-normal procedures are exactly similar in form to the classical results, and are no more difficult to implement. They are also asymptotically fully efficient. Simulation studies have shown that the new methods are extremely efficient, even for distributions far from normal, and for small samples.
It is hoped that these new techniques present viable alternatives for data analysis when the normality assumption may not be justified.

Truecrypt System and Volume Encryption
Disk 0 - System [C] - [special library folders pointed to D]
Disk 1 - Data [D] - [changed to X for volume encryption process]
Disk 2 - Copy Data [E] - [mirror of D]I have used truecrypt system encryption to encrypt Disk 0
I changed the drive letter of Disk 1 to X as I want to to mount this automatically with truecrypt on drive letter D when the system boots.
Should I have pointed the special folder libraries back at drive letter C before starting encryption of Disk 1, pointed them to drive letter X or will things be okay as they are?
Currently of course my libraries show as empty because they reference drive letter D not X. Not surprisingly I get an error to that effect when booting windows at the moment (i.e. "can't find D")
I am hoping that when Disk 1 [currently drive letter X] is encrypted and I set it to mount on drive letter D at boot then the current target for special library folders will have the correct drive letter to look at again (along with the data on Disk 1).
Only thing is that currently, if I attempt use drive letter D for anything [I was checking it out to see if it was free to use] I get a windows message saying the drive letter is in use. I can only think that this is the reference from C of the special library folders.
Does anyone have a view on this? I wonder if I am going to screw the referencing of the special library folders on C when I eventually mount the encrypted volume, Disk 1 [currently on drive letter X] on drive letter D.
Hope this all makes some sense to someone
I am going to image C again before I attempt to mount disk 1 on D just in case.
As well as the mirror copy of data on E I have copies of my data external hard drives.

Getting involved in a new community and networks can sometimes be challenging — sometimes.
I feel so welcomed into the Denver Metro area lately. People I have met are forward thinking, warm and happy to be where they are; and most of all they are REAL. I have met my fair share of "fake it 'til you make it" types, and honestly have been one at times. It tugs at you and makes you feel uncomfortable, like when you borrow a sweater that's just a little too tight.
My attitude now has been one of open mind and heart. Perhaps this brings like-minded people to me, and why I feel so welcomed. I highly recommend it for both business and personal interactions. I recently reblogged a post about getting anything you want, and ironically all the suggestions were about totally being your vulnerable self and living a less prideful life to help others get what they want. This in-turn will come back to you. Sound familiar?
The Golden Rule is making a full come back. What an exciting time to be an entrepreneur! A time when your heart is on the table and people are happy to help you achieve your goals. It is certainly what I am doing and feeling with my business Blank Slate Graphics and Marketing. My business and I have been growing leaps and bounds recently, and I have the people around me to thank for that.

1. During Introduction to New Material, Facilitator checks for understanding when going over How To Shave video activity/worksheet, and assessing how students are answering. 2. During Introduction to New Material, Facilitator checks for questions after video activity. 3. During Introduction to New Material, Facilitator checks for questions after reviewing Washing Your Hair handout. 4. At end of Introduction to New Material, Facilitator checks for understanding by asking students to sum up some of the facts they learned during the lesson. 5. During Guided Practice, Facilitator will evaluate student discussion on hair and shaving and whether or not it is something that "matters."
3 minutes 1. Facilitator explains that hair can be annoying to take care of, and as we get older, we get even more hair to maintain. It's important to know how to take care of it so it stays healthy and strong. 2. Facilitator explains that today, they will be learning about taking care of their hair and the proper way to shave.
25 minutes Materials:
10 minutes 1. Facilitator will now hold discussion regarding the use of hair products and shaving. Facilitator asks students, "Why do people shave? Why do they straighten their hair or curl it?" a. In this section, Facilitator should try to get students to talk and think about how they would feel if they saw a woman with hairy legs who didn't shave, or someone who had a lot of dandruff. What would they think? Does it matter? Does it change who the person is? 2. Facilitator should explain that they are at the age where they will begin shaving their bodies, but not all people choose to do so. It should not matter because it's not a requirement and does not change a person. Dandruff is common and sometimes shampoo may not fix it right away, or maybe a person cannot afford the special shampoo—how do you think they feel knowing that other people can see the dandruff? Should it matter? 3. Facilitator can also talk about how people try to change their hair through dye, straightening, and curling. Facilitator should state that it is definitely not bad to do, but why do we do it? Why do some people do it all the time? Is it to look different? Is it for maintenance? Etc.
5 minutes 1. Facilitator wraps up class by asking students review questions such as: a. Name the steps for hair washing. b. Should we scrub our head with our nails? c. What is dandruff? d. Any more thoughts on the discussion we had about shaving and hair?

He suspects that protecting her and the fabulous wedding necklace commissioned by the Montegeaus, a family descended from smugglers and pirates, will be more dangerous than smuggling rubies out of Afghanistan.

Tax shelters
- What is a tax shelter?
- A tax shelter identification number does not automatically entitle the participants to tax benefits
- What is the purpose of the tax shelter identification number?
- Mass-Marketed Tax Shelters
- Cautionary steps for participating in tax shelter arrangements
What is a tax shelter?
Tax shelters are defined in the Income Tax Act. In very general terms, a tax shelter includes either a gifting arrangement or the acquisition of property, where it is represented to the purchaser or donor that the tax benefits and deductions arising from the arrangement or acquisition will equal or exceed the net costs of entering into the arrangement or the property. Also, a gifting arrangement where the donor incurs a limited recourse debt related to the gift will be a tax shelter. Generally a limited recourse debt is one where the borrower is not at risk for the repayment.
A tax shelter identification number does not automatically entitle the participants to tax benefits
A tax shelter identification number is intended only to track the schemes and participants and does not entitle the participants to any of the benefits related to the tax shelter.
Every promoter of a tax shelter has to include on every written statement that refers to the identification number of the tax shelter the following statement:
"The identification number issued for this tax shelter shall be included in any income tax return filed by the investor. Issuance of the identification number is for administrative purposes only and does not in any way confirm the entitlement of an investor to claim any tax benefits associated with the tax shelter."
What is the purpose of the tax shelter identification number?
A promoter of a tax shelter must acquire a tax shelter identification number before selling the tax shelter property. In addition, the promoter must provide the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with the list of investors or participants, including their names, social insurance numbers, and other prescribed information.
The identification number allows the CRA to track these arrangements and the taxpayers who participate in them. All tax shelters are reviewed, and if they are considered potentially abusive, audits are carried out.
Promoters who file false or misleading information in their application for a tax shelter number, or that sell, issue, or accept consideration in respect of a tax shelter before an identification number has been issued, are liable to a penalty. While this penalty or related interest is outstanding, no participant in the tax shelter can claim the tax benefits associated with the tax shelter.
Mass-Marketed Tax Shelters
Mass marketed gifting tax shelter arrangements are made for the primary purpose of avoiding the payment of the required taxes rather than raise funds for charities. Mass marketed gifting tax shelters include schemes where taxpayers receive a charitable donation receipt with a higher value than what they paid. This can typically be four or five times their out of pocket cost.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) audits every mass-marketed tax shelter arrangement and no arrangement has been found to comply with the Income Tax Act.
Cautionary steps for participating in tax shelter arrangements
Anyone considering entering into a tax shelter arrangement should obtain independent professional advice from a tax advisor before signing any documents. In addition, they should:
- know who they are dealing with, and request the prospectus or offering memorandum and any other documents available in respect of the investment and carefully read them;
- pay particular attention to any statements or professional opinions in the documents that explain the income tax consequences of the investment. Often, these opinions will tell the investor about the problems that can be expected and suggest that the investor obtain independent legal advice;
- not rely on verbal assurances from the promoter or others-get them in writing; and
- ask the promoter for a copy of any advance income tax ruling provided by the CRA in respect of the investment. Read the ruling given and any exceptions in it.
Individual taxpayers should be aware that the CRA could normally reassess returns up to three years after the date of assessment. The fact that tax shelter benefits were accepted on initial assessment should not be interpreted as acceptance of the claim by the CRA. It may take more than one year to complete a tax shelter audit.

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds doesn't feel any pressure following up their smash debut album, Night Visions.
Reynolds tells Billboard, "I don't think so -- strangely. Right now I'm feeling really happy about everything I'm creating. I'm not doing it for any specific reason. I'm not thinking, 'Oh, I have to make a second album and it needs to be like this' or like that or anything. I'm just trying to create music that inspires me, and I'm sure a lot of things will sound different and we'll continue to evolve for the better and hopefully mature."
Reynolds adds that he's been writing on the road and making a lot of demos. He adds, "I already have, like, 35 demos in a playlist folder in my iTunes, [titled] 'Number-Two.'"

Prosecution, defense rest in Webster trial; defense calls only one witness
MANCHESTER - Both prosecution and defense rested Monday morning in the attempted murder trial of Myles Webster, 23, in Hillsborough County Superior Court North.
Webster is accused of shooting Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty at Wayne and Rimmon streets after a foot chase March 21.
The final prosecution witness, Dr. Robert A. Catania, a surgeon at Catholic Medical Center, described the wounds Doherty sustained and said, "Nine out of 10 times the wounds would have been fatal."
Defense attorney Caroline Smith presented only one defense witness, Sgt. Michael Biron.
She asked him what Doherty said at the hospital immediatedly after the shooting. Biron said Doherty told him: "Hispanic male, heavyset, ponytail, black clothing. He shot me."
The defense claims Webster is a victim of mistaken identity and that police conducted their investigation in a way to ensure the conviction of Webster, the man they arrested the night of the shooting.
The defense then rested.
Abramson then sent the jury home and said closing arguments will be given Tuesday morning.

The Like are an indie rock band which formed in 2001 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band consists of Elizabeth "Z" Berg (vocals, guitar), Laena Geronimo (bass), Annie Monroe (organ) and Tennessee Thomas (drums). Bassist Charlotte Froom left the band in 2009 and was replaced by Geronimo. Reni Lane, who joined shortly after Froom left, departed the band sometime in late 2009 or early 2010 and was replaced by Monroe. Berg is the daughter of Geffen A&R rep Tony Berg and Thomas is the daughter of Pete Thomas, the drummer for Elvis Costello & The Attractions.
The name of the band comes from the girls tendency to frequently use the word "like" in the style of the valley girls of LA. The band has released two albums, "Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?" (2005) and "Release Me" (2010).

I unpicked the hem, and let it down by 2 cm. That was all I could do since the hem allowance was very small. Then I sewed on some ecru cotton lace trim by hand. The lace trim is from Daiso, 1.5m for S$2. Now the shorts is 3 cm longer.
There was just enough lace trim left for me to hand sew them to the back pockets as well. This re-fashion took 2 nights. One night to unpick the hem and another night to sew the trim. I love cheap and quick fixes for clothes.

The Barnstable Enterprise does not publishe candidate endorsement letters in the issue before the election. Instead, the paper posts endorsement letters online.
The following are endorsement letters received after the deadline for the print publication:
To the Editor:
An effective member of the County Assembly of Delegates needs to know what Barnstable residents want from the Assembly and what the Assembly can and cannot do for the town of Barnstable.
Such knowledge can only come from extensive experience both at the town and county level. Only Greg Milne has that dual experience.
Greg served for 12 years on the Barnstable Town Council until 2011 when he was term limited. For the past 12 years, he has been elected by his peers to the Cape Cod Selectmen & Councilors' Association, also having been chosen to serve as President of that organization.
Greg has always been a strong and vocal advocate for the needs of residents, not vested interests. He is among the most ethical and dedicated public servants I have ever known.
For these and many other reasons, I strongly urge Barnstable town residents to vote for J. Gregory Milne for the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates.
Bud Bergstrom
* * *
To the Editor:
The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates can be a positive catalyst for initiatives addressing challenges confronting Cape Cod. I'm running for the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates to represent your best interests. It is in all of our best interest to realize we are Cape Codders.
Although voters adopted the County Charter in 1990 creating the Assembly as a deliberative body intended to address the Cape's unique problems that transcend town boundaries...we have yet to realize its full potential. Why? Unfortunately press reports characterizing the Assembly as more reactive than proactive are accurate assertions.
The proactive public policy driver on Cape Cod is our 14 "Town Meeting" forms of government...Here in Barnstable, it is our Town Council which replaced "Town Meeting" upon adoption of the 1989 Charter. As a Town Councilor for 12 years I gained an in-depth knowledge of municipal problem solving and service delivery. I have the right local and regional experience to bring proactive ideas to the Assembly.
Regional approaches are a necessity. Does it make sense for one town to spend millions to address wastewater & nitrogen loading challenges, to a bay, where, on the other side, the other town does nothing? Towns can't always go it alone & be effective. Water is our most precious resource and watersheds don't follow town boundaries. As one of the members of the Blue Ribbon Panel which wrote county legislation creating the Cape Cod Water Protection Collaborative...I'm unequivocally opposed to creating authorities &/or taxation to address water protection...and my public record confirms my position for 10 years. The county charter has extremely limited power...as I learned serving the most recent charter review committee. County funding comes primarily from registry of deeds fees...NOT property taxes as some want you to believe. We need the county to help us lower our fiscal burdens through regionally driven efficiencies.
During my seven years as a part-time commissioner of Cape Cod Mosquito Control I understand how to deliver an efficient and effective regional service which respects our fragile environment. Our approach is the most environmentally sensitive in the commonwealth. I've been elected to the Executive Board of the Cape Cod Selectman & Councilors' Association for the past 12 years...once as its President. I've built relationships with elected leaders Cape-wide. As your councilor I hosted "Community Coffee Hours" every month for 12 years listening to your concerns.
I've been a tireless advocate for transparency. To accomplish this on the Assembly, one must not feel they are "part of government"...but rather, one of you...representing your concerns and acting on your behalf. I'd be honored to serve you.
Vote - J. Gregory Milne - Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates.

The Golden Dawn in Italy
Oh dear. Greece has the Golden Dawn Party (an actual political party in the government) and now Italy has the similar "5-Star Movement" (likewise a political party in the government).
Both oppose austerity. Both are populist. Both want to dump the euro. Both favor environmental consciousness, direct democracy, free access to the Internet, and anti-corruption. Both are rapidly growing in strength.
Both are denounced by the 1% and by idiots in general as "Nazis, extremists, fascists, etc etc etc."
Oh…the "5-Star Movement" are also denounced as "mafiosi." :-)
Italy's "5-Star Movement" polled first in Sicilian regional elections that were marked by low turnout and the threat of gridlock, as no political coalition won an outright parliamentary majority.
In a vote that could serve as a barometer for the national elections due by April 2013, Beppe Grillo's 5 Star Movement got 14.8 percent, according to data from over 80 percent of polling stations posted on the region's website today. That makes it the biggest political force in Sicily, and the second biggest force in Italy. The Democratic Party, or PD, received 13.4 percent of the vote and former premier Silvio Berlusconi's People of Liberty got 12.2 percent.
The vote took place 28 Oct 2012 in Italy's poorest region, where the jobless rate is almost twice the national average. The early election was called after the resignation of regional President Raffaele Lombardo, who was indicted for alleged links with the Sicilian mafia.
The next Italian general election will be to determine the 630 members of the Chamber of Deputies and the 315 elective members of the Senate, the two houses of the Italian parliament. Unless a snap election is called, the election will be held in April 2013.
As punishment for the "5-Star Movement's" electoral gains, Fitch Ratings downgraded Sicily's long- and short-term ratings with a negative outlook.

Re: The Golden Dawn in Italy
The 5 star movement, or what was formerly known as Movimento di Liberazione Nazionale (National Liberation Movement) started by political comedian Beppe Grillo, is ideologically socialist but it isn't national socialist or fascist. It has been rapidly gaining ground against the establishment parties in general, and in particular against the Partito Democratico since its inception three years ago.

Neuropathy Causes Shooting Pain In Feet And Legs
Author: Cecilia Curtis

Keywords: numbness, nerves
My husband and I have been using essential oils for about 4 years. We have a nice variety to choose from. My husband has diabetes and because of it suffers pain in his feet and sometimes up his legs.
He uses a drop or two of lemongrass every day, morning and night, to help relieve the constant pain. He rubs the oil into the parts of his feet that hurt. Mostly the toes and ball.
He will at times experience sharp, shooting pain in his feet or legs. He immediately rubs lemongrass on the pain and within seconds that pain is relieved. He also uses Deep Relief and PanAway every night before bed. He starts by rubbing the deep relief roll-on over his toe pads and ball. Next comes the lemongrass and lhen the PanAway.
He finishes by using a locally made lotion containing several essential oils and that lotion has kept his feet from cracking and peeling. They are very nice and soft.

First night seriously going at Tumbling in a minute,
a Synopsis of what I think you've missed;
- I hate everyone
- I don't trust anyone
- I think everyone's retarded
- all of these exclude; jay, hannah, meagan, family, izzy, krista, some randoms
- I've re-gained weight
- I want to fucking lose it again
- I'm bitter
- I drink a lot more than I used to
- PBR tastes better out of a can
- I like valium and xanax
- yea, xanax still
- My dog is cooler than most people
- I'd rather sleep or hang out with one of the people I listed above
- I bake a lot now
- I'm making more dreamcatchers
- I need a job so I can be productive
- I want more money
- I want a house
- I want to work a lot and only have to deal with a little bit of a social life
- that'd be sweet
- I am very happy with my wonderful boyfriend, and glad he's my best friend, too.
I just don't feel like I really make sense anymore, ya know? How do I feel? I feel like I'm stuck in the middle of one of those insanely, retardedly elaborate snow globes & ole boy got shook up. Probably dropped off the shelf and put back up, because it was a fucking crazy ride down. I know I'm back in the right position now, though, but I'm still waiting for all the pieces to really settle, so I can get a grasp on what's going on again… because right now it doesn't make sense and I can't really see all that far in front of my face / ahead of right now- and it doesn't really feel like there's much else out there or ahead of me… but I know there is.

Jacques Leclercq
|This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the French Wikipedia. (August 2009)
Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
Jacques Leclercq (1891, Brussels - 1971, Beaufays) was a Belgian Roman Catholic theologian and priest.
He received a degree in law from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and one in philosophy from the Université catholique de Louvain, and was ordained a priest in 1917. He was a theologian and a professor at the Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis in Brussels, Belgium and the Université catholique de Louvain. In 1926 he founded the revue La Cité chrétienne.
In addition to many publications, Jacques Leclercq helped to found the School of Political and Social Sciences at the Université catholique de Louvain and the Society for Political and Social Studies. In 1955, he founded Centre de Recherches sociologiques. He was a supporter of Vatican II.[1]
From 1945 on he was in favor of the creation of a regional Walloon Christian-inspired movement, Rénovation wallonne, and wrote in 1963 an appeal to Catholics to rally to the movement, titled Les catholiques et la question wallonne ("Catholics and the Walloon question").[1]
The building that houses the School of Political and Social Sciences at the Université catholique de Louvain is named for him.

Ladies, how clean is your purse?
A new study might open your eyes. Researchers have determined that a woman's handbag may contain more germs than the average toilet flush. The study was conducted by a company called initial washroom hygiene. Researchers there say swab tests on a variety of handbags revealed 20% had toilet levels of bacteria. The handles were the germiest and ironically, the more expensive leather bags were the most likely to have high levels of bacteria.
The good news is experts say it's highly unlikely you could get sick from a handbag, but the suggestion is obvious, it's just a good idea to use anti-bacterial wipes to regularly clean the bottom and handles on your purse.

Most of the articles that I wrote while attending Columbia College can be accessed via this link.
My first front page article, headlined "Lynch sees standstill in minority hiring," appeared before the end of September of my freshman year in 1982.
Thereafter the "Howard J. Bashman" byline apparently began appearing so frequently that for the newspaper's April Fool's Day edition published on April 1, 1983, every byline appeared with the middle initial J.
Among the articles that bring back memories all these years later are those headlined "Day 5 of the blockade: a profile"; "Jester's vigil will begin at Tom's"; "Students find corpse wrapped up in a rug"; "Columbia hangout finger lickin' good"; and my review of the original "Police Academy" movie. The archives also reveal that I once joined in a group letter to the editor written by the residents of my dorm room hall.
Sadly. I did not get to write the instant classic cockroach-in-a-student's-ear story published on January 24, 1983, but somehow an article of mine that did run that day happened to appear even higher-up on the front page.

I'm a girl and I got these to try while working at a computer all day. I've never worn glasses and don't need a prescription so wanted to try some out without investing a lot in them. I LOVE them. The lenses have just barely a little tint to them but the UV protection has alleviated some of the tired eyes I get after reading off a screen for several hours. (glare and light sensitivity). Helps a lot with the dry eyes I get from sitting under the ceiling vent at work too. Most people say they like them. My biggest critic, my mom, said they look "Modern". My best friend says they are not very "feminine". The sides are a little chunky and limits my peripheral vision - but that's fine for task work. I've worn them outside too - they work pretty good. I like a dark lense for sun reflecting off snow in winter but these work ok too.
I love this product and especially like that they have a very slight tint.

Iran plans to increase daily crude oil exports to Japan to 240,000 barrels in 2012, Tehran Times said, citing Mohsen Qamsari, head of international affairs at the state-owned National Iranian Oil Co.
Iran's oil exports to Japan declined by 100,000 barrels a day last year, Qamsari said, without giving an export figure. He cited Japan's decision to reduce oil imports to 3.5 million barrels a day from 5.5 million barrels earlier.

Denham Statement on Latest GSA Proposal to Redevelop Los Angeles Courthouse Complex
WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Jeff Denham (R-Turlock), Chairman of the Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management Subcommittee, today addressed the redevelopment plan released by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the Los Angeles Courthouse Complex. The GSA has released a notice of intent for a proposed swap of the historic Spring Street Courthouse facility in exchange for the construction of a new federal building on federal property at 107 S. Broadway in Los Angeles.
"With millions of square feet of expensive leased space in the LA area, we need to continue to shrink and consolidate the federal footprint," continued Denham. "Spring Street is one more step in ridding the federal government of unneeded property. Our Committee will continue to follow this project to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent properly and looks forward to working with the Administration to further reduce our nation's debt by enacting the Civilian Property Realignment Act into law."
Denham and the Transportation Committee have held hearings since the beginning of 2011 in valuable but empty and underutilized federal buildings – including the Edward R. Roybal Courthouse in Los Angeles – across the country and in Washington, DC. Today's GSA proposal is the latest example of the Committee actions pressuring the agency into long-delayed positive movement on these assets.
Denham introduced H.R. 1734, the Civilian Property Realignment Act, passed by the House earlier this year, which would significantly improve federal real property management, and create savings by shrinking the federal footprint and selling or redeveloping underutilized buildings through a BRAC-like process.
Additional Committee hearings focusing on GSA's mismanagement of the federal government's real estate include:
- August 17, 2012: Hearing in Los Angeles on a proposed but unnecessary new courthouse, the construction of which would create another empty federal building
- August 6, 2012: Hearing at the empty David W. Dyer Courthouse in Miami
- June 19, 2012: Hearing at the empty Georgetown Heating Plant
- March 22, 2012: Hearing at the empty Cotton Annex
- February 9, 2012: 2nd Hearing at the empty Old Post Office Annex
- February 10, 2011: 1st Hearing at the empty Old Post Office Annex

Topic - Games to keep us interested while training this winter
mmmhumous on 30 Sep 2012
Anyone got any games which they use to keep motivated during the winter at the wall?
Here's a few that we use to help keep motivated.
Climbing Footsie - Every hand hold must first be earnt by touching it with a foot. (works well on routes and problems)
Octopus game from Paul's book: http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=1952 (from a stable position see who can touch the most holds with each foot/hand. Tends to be good to warm up on overhanging problems.
One-handed climbing - (hand must be designated before climbing).
-Easy option: the hand can still touch wall for balance.
-Medium option: hand can still move (to flag for balance/ sdd momentum)
-Proper version: hand either behind back or on navel.
None handed climbing: Best done on slabby toprope
-Easy option(s) - holding tennis balls/making fists or only using
one finger for balance while climbing.
-Proper version - hands for flaging only - the full Johnny Dawes.
-For those who don't believe in gravity - while leading on an overhang.
No holds for feet: great smearing practice.

This beautifully restored, 390-room beachfront property is a modern reincarnation of Miami's first luxury hotel -- The Royal Palm. Highlights include two swimming pools, two restaurants, three bars, a nightclub, a full-service spa, stylish rooms, and a great address on swank Collins Avenue. The rooms are modern and sophisticated, with well-stocked minibars and original paintings by local artists. Guests have to pay a daily "beach fee," but they get a lot in return, including free bikes, paddleboards, umbrellas, beach chairs, and fitness classes.
The stunning 312-room W South Beach -- located on the beach, on the northern outskirts of South Beach -- blends cute comforts, intricate design (that spares no expense), and flawless service. Large, modern rooms; terraces angled to overlook the ocean; elegant landscaping around the pool; a lush Bliss spa -- the W tops the Miami greats.
Paradise doesn't come cheap. Striking but sober mood-lit design; impeccable service; huge, immaculate rooms; three pools, each a different temperature; and a prime beachside location make the Setai one of the best hotels in Miami. Its restaurants are more about design than food, but several of Miami's best restaurants are just half a block away.
The Delano's 195 all-white rooms don't come cheap, but you're paying for surreal, Philippe Starck style and all-night parties at the "water salon." To some, its hip factor has been bested by the Gansevoort or Shore Club, but their style doesn't compare, and good times are still to be had.
The chic Perry South Beach hotel (formerly the Gansevoort Miami Beach) is a bit removed from the action on the north edge of South Beach, but it still attracts hipsters and stylish families with its rooftop pool parties, attentive staff, large rooms, sexy David Barton gym, and beachfront location. It doesn't quite compare to its high-priced neighbors -- notably the W hotel -- but it's often a fair pick for the price. THE PERRY SOUTH BEACH WILL BE CLOSED INDEFINITELY STARTING APRIL 2013.
The historic and iconic Raleigh Hotel in Miami has been earning accolades since Life magazine dubbed their pool the most beautiful in America in 1947. Today, the four-pearl Art Deco hotel still gets its fair share of praise and often hosts fashion shoots and parties by the pool. Renovations brought a contemporary restaurant, upgrades to the iconic Martini Bar, and a European-style coffee shop. Scenesters love free vintage bikes and a pop-up design boutique -- plus private access to South Beach, but nobody appreciates the small rooms and daily resort fees. The Raleigh still holds its own, but the scene at neighboring Delano and Shore Club gives it a real run for its money -- and press.
Since its star-studded opening party in November 2012, the SLS South Beach has become a hot hotel to see and be seen in Miami. The 140-room property features direct beach access, two large pools, two high-profile restaurants, two bars, and a great address on swank Collins Avenue. Celebrity designers Philippe Starck and Lenny Kravitz designed the rooms, which are stylish and sexy, but remarkably small for the price. The Surfcomber Hotel, next door, has the same size rooms at about a third of the cost. Still, the SLS isn't about relaxing inside -- it's about soaking up the scene at the pools, restaurants, and beach.
The beachfront Shore Club prides itself on being a be-seen haunt, with celebrity-fueled restaurants and bars, and a boisterous infinity pool where DJs spin the latest hits. But despite the hotel's party-focused image, the large rooms, attentive service, and beautiful design make for a relaxing stay.
A self-proclaimed "art hotel," the beachside Sagamore boasts an impressive private collection of paintings, sculptures, photography, and even video art. But back to the hotel: The suites and bungalows are huge, and the SoBe location is prime. However, the pool is small and service is borderline negligent.
A moderately priced designer hotel on posh upper Collins Avenue, the National boasts one of the largest, sleekest pools in Miami. Small rooms, though, and relaxed, haphazard service doesn't contend with its super-chic neighbors, the Delano and Sagamore hotels, but a 2013 revamp to exterior and common spaces did help.

This mascara gave me a more natural look than many other mascaras i've used. It applies better when your eyelashes are wet which is hard but I still like it when I apply it normally. Great looking package thats very slim and you can fit it in almost any makeup bag or purse. I love that its not so crazy colored or shped like other packaging for mascara. I will for sure buy this again but maybe try another color.
More reviews by thaonlylakergirl
Hmmm.... I used to use this years ago and stopped and now I remember why! It is very wet and makes a mess. Sure it gives you length but I think there are other mascaras that do the same thing and aren't as wet and smear all over the place.
An adult friend had given me this mascara when I was thirteen. It was her favorite and it was an extra she had not opened. I used it everyday till a friend actually stole it. I could never afford it at the age so I'm 18 now and I bought it for 31$ It it a natural lengthening mascara. I've actually gotten away with pretending they were my real eyelashes. It does not hold a curl though. Also I realized it was really bugging my conact lenses which I wear everyday. It made them dry..Its a great mascare if you don't wear contacts. I loved it but won't be repurchasing for this reason. The packaging is very...Sexy. :)
This product just does not enhance your lashes. Does not make them thicker or longer. There are much better product out there. Diorshow, Bare Minerals curling formula.
I've been dedicated to this mascara for over 15 years now.
Lashes look natural and full all day and no flaking. You can add 2-3 coats and it does not clump or get that spiky lash look.

I tried this mascara on its own and hated it. It didn't hold a curl and made my lashes clumpy. However, I tried layering it on top of another mascara (Cover Girl Lash Blast 24 HR) and LOVED the results. It made my lashes look significantly longer, darker, and thicker. I have never had a mascara that has given me results like this. If you don't have luck using it on its own, try layering it with another one.

This product does lengthen lashes, but it seems to do so by killing the curl I put in them and straightening them. It often leaves them clumped together so that I have to use a lash comb to separate them. It doesn't flake as much as other mascaras, but makes lashes look stiff. When I try to comb out clumps, I'm sometimes left with spotty application of the product along single lashes, making it obvious that I'm wearing mascara.
It lengthens the lashes beautifully but it doesn't do anything to make the lashes look voluminous so...
The mascara lengthens and separates my lashes really well. I never get compliments on my lashes (they're sort of mediocre and shortish) but with this mascara I do- "Which mascara are you using? Your lashes don't have any clumps"
I wouldn't say it's buildable though, as it does tend to get a bit clumpy after a few coats. It does not flake on me and even though it's not waterproof, it handles a few tears and rain really well.
I will repurchase this mascara after I've tried the Diorshow and if that one isn't any better.

Wonderful product to use for a more natural, elegant look. It's not very dramatic and beautifully understated. It stays in place with zero flakes and it looks the same after twelve hours! I like that it seperates and makes your lashes look so long. It doesn't give much volume, but it doesn't advertise that it does. Beautiful product that delivers and does exactly what it says it is going to do.
