I wanted a new, shaggy rug for my living room to cover the hardwoods...this one looked like a possibility. After reading all the reviews, I went ahead and bought it and am not disappointed. When first unrolled, it seemed you could see every white and every beige shag piece, but after a day or two, they have blended in together very nicely. I agree with others who say it feels very plush under bare feet, exactly what I had been looking for. One note: The purchase page recommended buying (for $25) one of those non slip rug pads. I bought it, but it was not needed at all so save yourself the $25 for something else.
I spent days combing through this site for an area rug and reading the reviews. The reviews for this product were completely accurate. I usually do not write reviews but after realizing how important the reviews were in making my purchase I decided to add my voice to the reviews on this product. The product arrived quickly and was neatly wrapped. I was able to unwrap the carpet with ease. The color is as the reviews indicate in that there are specks of a darker beige mixed with a lighter color. It is not exactly as pictured on the website but still very nice. The area rug does have that new carpet smell but I am hoping it will dissipate over time. It is very plush and much better than anything I saw in the major stores like home depot and target and I spent days scouring those places looking for an area rug. I was apprehensive about making a purchase like this online without the benefit of seeing the quality directly but this exceeded my expectations and is a very nice buy. If you are on the fence about making a large purchase like this from an online seller I would definitely recommend this product. The reviews are accurate about what this product has to offer.
Bought one for living room and dining room. Excellent quality, great neutral 'oatmeal' color, multi, which is very forgiving and thickness feels great on bare feet. Vacuums easily, no shedding. Highly recommend for any space - transitional decor.
This rug looks like just a solid beige on the site, but it's actually fibers of off-white and tan (like a light coffee color) mixed and it's beautiful in person! It also feels so good under my feet. I wasn't expecting much for this price, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I am in love w/ this rug. It is very slidey on hard surface floors, so if you don't plan to put heavy furniture on it, you will probably need a pad to help with the slipping.
Originally ordered this rug for our bedroom and now have one in the nursery as well. Nice thick plush rug for the price. It is light enough to brighten a room. Hopefully will mask stains given the light and dark fibers. Feels great to walk on and a good rug for our baby to learn to crawl and walk on. CAn't speak to the durability yet as it has only been a few months, but for the price, so far so good.
I bought this rug over a year ago and just placed it on our living room area. It looks fabulous! We bought the beige color and it goes well with our dark brown couch. The pile on this rug feels amazing and thick No shoes on this rug is my rule (really within the house). However, I must say, the pile is thick it was a little difficult to use the vacuum on it. I was able to, however not as easy on my other area rugs. Other than that, don't let that deter you from purchasing an incredible quality rug..thick, feels great under your feet..and just cozy. The price is great too!
This was the first time I ordered from Overstock, so I was not sure if the rug would really be what I wanted. It is perfect and so plush, I was surprised actually. I had seen what I thought were similar rugs at other stores, but could not find the size I wanted, so I was really pleased to find this size. It vacuums well and it's nice to just lay on it.
This is a thick soft rug that is well made. However, it has the overall appearance of thick carpet that has had the edges securely bound. I guess I was expecting something that looked likeit was designed to be a rug. anyway, it is well made and soft and would work well in a room that is casual, but it didn't look right for the place we had in mind.
I don't usually write reviews, but had to for this one. This rug is exactly what I was looking for.. It's large enough and takes up most the living room area space. When we first rolled it out, one side would not lay down, but after a day or two, it laid completely flat. This rug does not shed at all, stays in place perfectly without a liner underneath, I can vacuum it, and it is so incredibly silky soft!! Everyone that sees it, compliments, especially after walking on it. This is probably one of my smartest and best purchases ever!
This is a nice medium shag. My dogs love it unfortunately and it's a real pain to vacuum. I have to pull the vacuum backward because it will not go forward over the pile. The only defect I've found is that it is not a perfect rectangle. If you place it evenly along the bottom then it is crooked on the side, and vice versa. Otherwise it's a good enough rug. The color of the rug is a light beige/gray so it always looks like it might be a little dirty, even when it's not.

You Have To Preorder To Kill Hitler
Posted on Wednesday, April 4 @ 12:14:11 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
If only the allied forces had preordered at GameStop! World War II would have been a snap. In their weekly ad, the used-games retailer advertises Warner Bros upcoming Sniper Elite V2 with a pair or preorder bonuses.
Gamers looking for a Replica Bullet Keychain need look no further, but the exclusive mission really takes the cake. How could you possibly preorder anywhere else when putting a bullet between the eyes of Adolph Hitler is on the line?
I have to say that it certainly sounds like a ridiculous prospect, but I guess if you want the complete Sniper Elite V2 experience, you know where to go.

Tight on cash? Which bills to pay now and which can waitShould you whittle down your credit card debt or stash cash in savings? Plunk money into your 401(k) or save for college expenses? This quiz will reveal the smartest strategies.
One of life's toughest money quandaries is how to get out of the red (debt) and build up more green (savings). You probably know firsthand just how tricky it is to achieve this: Should you really move money into an emergency fund when bills are piling up? And how can you funnel moolah into retirement accounts when you have a major balance on your credit card? Take this quiz and let me help you make the best decisions.
1. Which of these should be your priority?
A. Paying off a credit card balance
B. Saving for emergencies
C. Both
With unemployment as high (and potentially long-lasting) as it is today, your emergency fund becomes a kind of insurance policy. You'll need a cash cushion if you wind up out of work — especially because it's harder to access credit or loans when you aren't on a payroll. So take these steps:
1. Put together a plan to sock money away when you get paid (an automatic transfer to a savings account can work well). Your goal: to have at least six months of living expenses saved up — more if you're self-employed or you support a family.
2. Transfer any high-interest credit card balances to a new account that allows you to lock in low or even zero interest for a generous period of time. If you have an excellent credit score (760 or above), you may qualify for 0% interest for at least a year; review your options at bankrate.com or credit.com. Paying a 0% rate instead of the average credit card rate of about 14% will save around $50 a month on a balance of $5,000, which in turn spares you $600 in interest over the year ahead.
3. Make sure you don't get shop-happy with your plastic. Don't charge anything you can't pay off before your grace period of low or zero interest expires. Once your emergency fund is shored up, you can tackle that credit card bill. By not paying (much) interest and not adding to the balance, you will erase that debt over time without doing so at the expense of your emergency fund.
2. Which should you save for first?
A. The kids' future (college)
B. Your future (retirement)
Focusing on your children's needs may seem loving, but if you underfund your retirement, you're likely to be a burden to them in the future.
Most Americans are in dire straits when it comes to retirement savings: A recent survey found that 57% of working adults have less than $25,000 stashed away. Meanwhile, health care in retirement may cost over $100,000, even with Medicare!
So let's say you're 35 and your daughter is 10. She has eight years until she'll need money for college, and you have 30 years until you retire. One hundred dollars a month invested in your retirement account, earning an average of 7%, would turn into $100,000-plus by age 65: You would earn $64,000 in investment returns alone! On the other hand, $100 a month invested in your daughter's 529 college savings account could grow to only around $11,322 after eight years (with a conservative return estimate of 4% because of the shorter time frame). In this example, putting $100 a month toward college instead of your retirement would mean losing around $62,000.
Still want to help out with paying for that degree? Sock away extra funds in a tax-friendly 529 account, but only after you've funded your retirement as much as possible. For more info on college planning, head to finaid.org or edvisors.com.
3. If you have a little extra money, you should:
A. Pay off the mortgage early
B. Save more for retirement
Here's how to look at this scenario: Let's say you reach 60 and you've saved only $100,000 for retirement but have paid off your home, which is worth $300,000. As I mentioned, your health-care costs alone could be $100,000 or more in retirement, so you could hit 70 and be out of cash but sitting on a valuable house. Would you want to sell it and move at 70? Or take out a mortgage on your home to cover the bills? Your monthly payment might be much higher then, due both to the economy and to the fact that lenders can inflate your rate when you have little or no work income. Remember, you can't take your house to the supermarket to pay for groceries, so save as much as you can while you can. Consider adding a Roth or traditional IRA to any 401(k) savings.
4. Which bills should you pay first?Write checks for these three expenses right away:
1. Mortgage and property taxes
Protecting the roof over your head should be your number one priority so your loan doesn't end up in foreclosure. Skip tax payments, and a lien could be put on your home. Short on funds? Contact your lender ASAP to request an accommodation; ask a counselor approved by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (hud.gov) for help.
2. Utilities
This isn't about keeping cable TV, but about your home having heat, electricity, and an Internet connection, which you may need for work. Search for the Energy Savers Guide at energy.gov for ways to save.
3. Car payments
Miss them, and you could lose your ride — which may ,eam you can't get to work. If you can't cover the amount, it's time to get help from a free or low-cost credit counselor at nfcc.org.

It also helps that it is a technology-driven company willing to invest in energy-saving ideas. It brought its first solar farm online in December, generating 650 kilowatts of power, and it plans to install Bloom fuel cells later this year that will provide up to 6 megawatts of power.
The software, hardware, operations and finance teams at eBay are working together on the project, Nelson said. In one experiment, its software developers adjusted the memory utilization for a pool of servers, allowing it to eliminate 400 machines and save a megawatt of power, he said.
PUE was controversial when it was introduced by the Green Grid Forum six years ago, Nelson said, but it has since been adopted widely.
Like PUE, the "miles per gallon" data isn't necessarily useful in and of itself, but it could give companies a benchmark to measure progress moving forward.
"We averaged 46,000 transactions per kilowatt hour last year. Was that good? We don't know, we have nothing to baseline it against," Nelson said.
This year, eBay -- and everyone else -- will be able to see how it's doing.

Michael drops the tray of sandwiches in Dwight's trashcan and heads for the door. Deangelo comes out to catch him and ask for advice on how to start the meeting. Michael stiffly says he starts with some chitchat and some jokes. "And you might want to develop a couple of characters." Like what, a goofy male cheerleader, or an egomaniacal anchorman, or a basketball player with a huge afro? Give him some writing prompts or something. Deangelo says it's too bad for the office that Michael's leaving, and holds out his arms for a hug. "Bring it in. Come on." Michael just glares at him, but when Deangelo turns to walk away, Michael runs up and hugs him from behind. Deangelo returns the hug from in front. It's as awkward as it sounds, especially with Will Ferrell being so much taller. "Why did you have to be so damn good?" Michael whispers. "I," Deangelo says emotionally, "am adequate. I'm half as good as you." Michael insists that the employees know Deangelo is good. "I just didn't expect you to get there so fast." Deangelo tells him to enjoy this time. "Get your senoiritis on." Finally they release each other, but before stepping inside, Deangelo asks Michael, "What is the...Native American girl's name?" Michael says he'll figure it out, and Deangelo heads into his first meeting and closes the door. Michael closes himself into his office, behind the other door. Closing doors, symbolic, blah blah blah just get to the tag already.
Jim and Pam bring Cece into Deangelo's office. He stares stone-faced at the threw Halperts, but finally admits, "That's a cute baby." Jim and Pam joint TH, "We knew it, If he just met her, he'd understand." "We're back in," Jim agrees, and they both fist-pump. Cece appears to be the only one in the room who picked up on Deangelo's totally insincere tone. And here's Deangelo's own TH to prove it, saying, "I'm telling you, that baby could be the star of a show called Babies I Don't Care About." Man, I should have watched that instead. What channel?

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Luke Bryan told me this story last week and I have to share it with you, especially if you love country music, hockey or both. You know how Carrie Underwood's hockey-playing husband Mike Fisher was conveniently traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators shortly after they were married, right? After that happened, one of Bryan's friends thought that idea could work to recruit other great players for the Predators. "My buddy brought a sign to a Preds game that said 'Taylor, Please Marry Ovechkin.' He's like the number one hockey player in the world, so we all thought that if we could get Taylor Swift to marry him, then maybe we can get him for the Preds," Bryan laughed. The Russian-born left wing, who goes by Ovi, is right around Swift's age, is allegedly single, and seems to like Twitter as much as she does. Not to mention he has that tall, dark and handsome look about him, like Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner. Right now Ovechkin plays on the Washington Capitals NHL team, but you just never know when a hockey player might fall in love with a country singer and end up in Nashville.

I got an ask about locking doors…
…but Tumblr did something really odd and deleted it somehow. Anyways, the question, from veiledhorizons, asked, if I remember correctly:
do you have trouble locking doors?
- I always get confused about which way to put the key in. (Does the ridged side go up or down?)
- Once I've figured that out, I have problems actually inserting the key into the lock.
- Once I get the key in, I struggle with the question of which way to turn the key to open the door. Also the physical act of turning the key is hard at times.
- I usually turn the key the wrong way several times.
- I then get confused about which way is the right way to turn it. (The lock is round! How am I supposed to know which way is left and which is right!?)
- I usually do a whole bunch of experimentation until I finally get the door open. (Although most of the time, I just can't get the door open at all, and have to ask for help.)
And then then there's the question of how to get the key out of the lock. That requires quite a bit of experimentation as well.
In other words, I have extreme trouble locking (and unlocking) doors.

2005 Kia Optima EX V6 Review
The Kia Optima handles very well and responds quickly to the driver's actions. It has more amenities than you would think a small to medium sedan this size would have. The ride is very smooth and it accelerates with ease.
We have only owned the car for two months and haven't yet discovered anything we are unhappy with.
2005 Kia Optima Ex-v6 — We, especially my wife, loves the smaller size of the Optima as compared to her old 1999 Buick Century. Although the ride was a bit smoother in the Buick (a plus for most mid size Buick sedans due to more weight) the Kia still holds it's own and seems to be quicker in cornering, accelerating, and stopping. Both vehicles were pretty close in accessories and amenities. However, the smaller Kia has a big advantage in parking and fuel consumption, which is to be expected. It is a pleasant change of pace!

Gas mileage, ease of repairs, handling in many weather conditions.
Air bag light constantly on, nit the most comfortable seats, automatic transmission has no power.
Good Car, Wish I Could Have Owned It New — I dislike the automatic transmission, it takes away from the power of the motor. The car gets around thirty miles to the gallon, and generally runs on any type of gas. I is a fun driver and I drive it everyday to and from work.

Great 2005 Optmia — This is a very nice mid size care with many nice features only found on very high end cars. Long trips are very comfortable and highway gas milage is good. low maintenance cost with very little issues, the only issue we have had is the security module has gone out causing the remotes not to work.

Not The Best, But Certainly Not The Worst — Aside from the broken window the day we drove it off the lot and the 7 times to the shop for repairs, including a complete door replacement. Also the 6 trips to the store for repeated headlight replacements due to faulty wiring. The car has held up well.

CARL, TEXAS (Navarro County). Carl was six miles north of Corsicana in northeastern Navarro County. It was probably founded before 1900, and for a time was a stop on the Houston and Texas Central Railway. In the mid-1930s it had a depot, a few stores, and several houses. The town declined after World War II and by the 1960s no longer appeared on highway maps. In the early 1990s only a few scattered houses remained in the area.

Proceedings of the second Australian Symposium on traditional medicine and wildlife conservation
Melbourne Australia, March 1999
Anne-Louise Carlton
Project Manager
Health Workforce Section
Public Health and Development Division
Department of Human Services
This paper presents work by the Victorian Department of Human Services to review the practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Australia and establishes a system of occupational regulation of the TCM profession. This paper presents:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a history of over 2,000 years in China. Its use is now expanding rapidly in most Westernised countries. In August 1995, the Victorian Department of Human Services started a review of the practice of TCM. The purpose of the review was to assess the need, if any, for statutory registration of TCM practitioners and regulation of Chinese herbal medicines.
Health practitioner registration is a power which rests with state and territory governments. Pressure to examine the practice of TCM in Victoria arose from:
The first stage of the review was completed with the publication, in November 1996, of the research report Towards a Safer Choice: The Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Australia. The purpose of the research was to investigate the risks and benefits associated with the practice of TCM, the nature of the TCM workforce, and the need, if any, for legislative regulation of TCM practice.
The second stage during 1997-98 involved release of a discussion paper and conduct of an extensive national public consultation on options for regulation of the profession of Chinese medicine. The second stage was completed with the publication of the Victorian Ministerial Advisory Committee's report Traditional Chinese Medicine: Report on Options for Regulation of Practitioners. All Australian Health Ministers agreed at their July 1998 conference for Victoria to take the lead in developing legislation to provide for the regulation of the Chinese medicine profession.
The third stage has commenced with implementation of the recommendations of the Ministerial Advisory Committee's report. This includes preparation of a proposed Chinese Medicine Registration Bill for consideration by the Victorian Parliament in its Autumn or Spring sessions 1999. If passed, the new Act should be in force during the year 2,000 and will:
It is hoped that it will also provide a model for other state and territory governments to draw on in order to enact legislation to regulate Chinese medicine practitioners in their jurisdictions.
The research report Towards a Safer Choice: The Practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Australia investigated and reported on seven main areas:
The report provided the first comprehensive view of the practice of TCM in Australia. The Executive Summary which includes the key findings is available free of charge from the Victorian Department of Human Services. A copy of the full report can be purchased from University of Western Sydney - Macarthur.
The report also included a summary of issues associated with use of endangered species in Chinese herbal medicines. It stated that the Chinese materia medica includes medicines made from animal products, some from parts of endangered species. The use of rhino horn, tiger bone and deer musk as medicinal preparations, has placed a significant strain on these species and contributed to the reduction of their numbers to critical levels (Callister and Bythewood 1995).
Appendix 14 of Towards a Safer Choice lists animal species used in Chinese medicine which are threatened with extinction and listed in CITES Appendix 1. They include various types of bear, elephant, leopard, monkey, musk deer, rhinoceros, seal, tiger and crocodile. Despite efforts to introduce stricter controls, use of many of these substances is culturally ingrained and considerable international effort is required to limit their usage.
The use of preparations containing endangered species in Australia has continued despite becoming a signatory to the CITES. Nearly 43,000 units of Chinese Medicine products claiming to contain bear, leopard, musk, rhinoceros and tiger were seized by the Australian government between July 1991 and March 1995 (Callister and Bythewood 1995).
Some TCM professional associations including the Australian Chinese Medicine Education and Research Council (ACMERC) have clear policies that condemn the use of endangered species of both animals and plants and promote the use of appropriate substitutes.
Viable alternatives to many endangered species used in Chinese Medicine do exist and extensive work is being done to identify the most appropriate substitutes (Bensoussan and Myers 1996).
The report referred to difficulties identified by TRAFFIC Oceania with enforcement aimed at stopping illegal imports of TCM containing endangered species and the failure to adequately control possession and sale of such items once in the country.
The report made the following recommendation:
In the formation of any legislative act providing for occupational regulation of TCM practitioners, consideration be given to the need of appropriate penalties for practitioners trading in, prescribing or providing medicines or raw products containing CITES Appendix 1 - listed endangered species.
At present, there are no statutory registration provisions which specifically govern the practitioners of Chinese medicine, that is, there is no act of Parliament which requires Chinese medicine practitioners to be registered, similar to registration requirements for medical practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, pharmacists, podiatrists, osteopaths, chiropractors, psychologists and dentists.
There is an established model of health practitioner registration in Victoria as there is in other states and territories. The Victorian model was first introduced with the passage of the Nurses Act 1993 and the Medical Practice Act 1994. Between 1994 and 1998, five revised health practitioner registration acts have been passed in Victoria, each incorporating the model provisions with some updated provisions. The Physiotherapists Registration Act 1998 is the most recent health practitioner registration act passed and provides the most up to date provisions.
In Victoria, each regulated health profession has a registration board established under a state act of Parliament. These boards are independent of Government, and are incorporated so as to avoid personal liability for board members. Membership consists of a majority from the profession being regulated. Victorian registration boards are required to consult the Victorian Minister for Health and take notice of his views, but the Minister cannot direct the board. Boards are self-funding, and are responsible for setting their own registration fees and meeting all their own expenses, such as renting premises, hiring staff and paying legal counsel.
Under the Victorian model, the main powers of health practitioner registration boards are as follows:
Subject to mutual recognition principles, health practitioner registration boards in general have powers to register practitioners who:
Registration boards have the power to temporarily, provisionally, or conditionally register a practitioner or to grant a restricted registration. This allows additional flexibility in registration, for example with short-term registration of visiting overseas lecturers.
Appendix 1 of the Victorian Ministerial Advisory Committee's Report on Options for Regulation of Practitioners provides further detail on the standard model of health practitioner registration, including definitions of 'unprofessional conduct' and the complaints and disciplinary procedures.
The key features of Victorian model are as follows:
It is expected that the Victorian Cabinet will shortly provide approval in principle for the drafting of a new Chinese Medicine Registration Bill, to be considered by the Victorian Parliament in its Autumn sessions 1999. It is expected that this Act, if passed, will be implemented during the year 2000 and will provide a model for other state and territory governments to follow.
The key features of the proposed new Act are as follows:
In drafting the new Victorian Chinese Medicine Registration Bill, it is important to establish how the new occupational regulation system will interact with and reinforce the Commonwealth efforts to regulate importation and possession of Chinese herbal medicines which contain endangered species. There is potential for an occupational regulation system such as that proposed in Victoria to have a significant impact to reduce the prescribing and dispensing of such Chinese herbal medicines. Below is an outline of some of the issues:
The Commonwealth Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1982 (Wildlife Protection Act) is the legislative basis for conservation-oriented controls on the export and import of wildlife and wildlife products. The Wildlife Protection Act controls the export of Australian native animals and plants, and fulfils Australian legislative requirements as a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The Wildlife Protection Act also controls the import and export of certain plants and animals, and products derived from them. The species under CITES control are listed in three Appendices and also included in the Schedules to the Wildlife Protection Act.
The offence provisions of the Wildlife Protection Act of most relevance to practitioners and dispensers of Chinese herbal medicines are:
To date it is understood that there have been no prosecutions or breaches of the Wildlife Protection Act that involve illegally imported traditional medicine products containing material from endangered species. The major impediment has been that current forensic technology is unable to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the traditional medicines contain material from endangered species as claimed on their packaging (Department of the Environment and Heritage Regulation Impact Statement for the Wildlife Protection (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Amendment Bill 1998.
The amendments currently before the Federal Parliament address some of the evidentiary problems that have arisen with attempts to prosecute under the above provisions:
For a prosecution to be successful under the current legislation, it must be proved beyond reasonable doubt that the product does contain an endangered species. .... the proposed amendments will enable a prosecution to be successful on the basis that a product is represented to contain material from an endangered species, and as such will overcome forensic problems..... by deeming that things which are deliberately represented (for example by their packaging) to be or to contain endangered species, are covered by the Wildlife Protection Act.
There are a number of ways in which the proposed Chinese Medicine Registration Act might reinforce and strengthen the enforcement of the Commonwealth legislation. They are as follows:
The role of a Chinese Medicine Registration Board will be to regulate professional standards of Chinese medicine practitioners and dispensers. Under the standard definition of 'unprofessional conduct', it is likely that a practitioner found guilty of the above offences under the Commonwealth's Wildlife Protection Act would also be found guilty by the Board of unprofessional conduct.
Under the proposed Victorian legislation, the Chinese Medicine Registration Board will have powers to investigate and prosecute practitioners for unprofessional conduct. Any party, including a patient, another practitioner, or Wildlife Australia may make complaints to the Registration Board.
On receipt of a complaint, the Board would be empowered to:
Sanctions available to the Board include issuing a caution or reprimand to the practitioner or dispenser, imposing a fine, attaching conditions to a practitioner or dispenser's registration, or, in serious cases, deregistration. Deregistration is likely to be used only in extreme cases since it in most instances will involve deprivation of livelihood.
Such action by the Board to investigate an individual practitioner and conduct a hearing under the proposed Chinese Medicine Registration Act could occur before, during or after prosecution by the Commonwealth under the Wildlife Protection Act, but may sensibly occur after the outcome of an action under the Commonwealth legislation is known. The decision by the Board to defer its inquiry would most likely be made in consultation with Wildlife Australia who are responsible for administering the Commonwealth legislation.
A finding of not guilty under the Wildlife Protection Act would not necessarily prevent a Chinese Medicine Registration Board from finding a practitioner guilty of unprofessional conduct, since the necessity to prove that the medicine had been illegally imported would not be necessary.
It is proposed that the Chinese Medicine Registration Board will have the power under the new legislation to issue 'Codes of Optimal Practice' and that these Codes would be taken into account by the Board in determining whether a particular practitioner was guilty of unprofessional conduct.
Such a Code of Conduct covering use of endangered species in Chinese herbal medicines might clearly set out the Board's expectation that registered practitioners and dispensers have a thorough knowledge of their obligations under the Wildlife Protection Act and comply with its provisions. The Code might include requirements that practitioners and dispensers understand the following:
It is expected that the Board would inform registered practitioners and dispensers that are possessing, prescribing and dispensing Chinese herbal medicines which contain endangered species or list them on the packaging, may constitute unprofessional conduct under the Chinese Medicine Registration Act, if proper permits have not been obtained under the Wildlife Protection Act.
However, there are likely to be limitations on the Board's powers in this area. For example:
In drafting the Chinese Medicine Registration Bill, consideration will be given to whether there is a need to strengthen powers for the Board to deal with unprofessional conduct involving use of medicines containing endangered species. For example, one option might be to include a specific provision which creates an offence under the proposed Chinese Medicine Registration Act in addition to provisions governing unprofessional conduct, where registered practitioners and dispensers prescribe or dispense medicines that contain material from endangered species without the required permits.
Further work is being undertaken to determine the most suitable provisions for inclusion in the proposed Chinese Medicine Registration Bill. Such provisions should aim to reinforce and support Commonwealth enforcement of regulation of endangered species used in Chinese herbal medicines.
As a minimum, it is expected that a Chinese Medicine Registration Board will have powers under the proposed Victorian Chinese Medicine Registration Act to regulate the professional conduct of practitioners and herbal dispensers, and that the Board will have the power to apply sanctions for breaches of the Commonwealth Wildlife Protection Act that are considered by the Board to constitute unprofessional conduct.
It is clear that there is considerable scope for a system of statutory registration of Chinese medicine practitioners and Chinese herbal dispensers. If adopted in all states and territories, such a system would greatly assist in wildlife conservation and reduce the use of material from endangered species in Chinese herbal medicines in Australia.

You have heard that laughter is good medicine and at New York University's College of Nursing, they've taken that a step farther by hiring clowns from the Big Apple Circus to teach a class to their nurses.
It's not about being silly; it's about using humor to learn coping skills. Ultimately, the nurses learn that even inside very sick children, there is a healthy sense of humor ready and waiting for a giggle.

Blank Check (released in Europe as Blank Cheque) is a 1994 live-action movie directed by Rupert Wainwright, starring Brian Bonsall, Karen Duffy, Miguel Ferrer, Tone Lōc, Michael Lerner and James Rebhorn and released by Walt Disney Pictures.The story begins when bank robber Carl Quigley escapes from jail. Soon after his prison break, Quigley enters a warehouse and recovers $1,000,000 he had hidden there sometime before his arrest. After that introduction the plot switches to Preston Waters, a 12 year old boy tormented by his brothers and ignored by his hyper capitalist dad. He goes to a bank and gets laughed out, while at the same time Quigley is exchanging the bills through a corrupt bank employee using checks. After the meeting, Quigley runs over Prestons bicycle while he was riding it in the bank's parking lot.Pressed for time as he sees a police car patrolling the area, Quigley gives Preston a signed blank check and tells him to give it to his dad so they can buy him a new bike. Instead, Preston writes himself a check for $1,000,000, cashes it with the inadvertent help of the corrupt bank employee and uses the money to go on a spending spree and romance a 30 year old bank teller- until Quigley finds out what has been done and comes after him.Not to be confused with the Art James Game Show of the same name that ran on NBC for 26 weeks in 1975.

I have the tv on in the background while I blog from the comfort of my North Carolina home, and happened to catch a commercial advertising the KGB.
WHAT!?!?!?! I've seen enough spy shows to know that the KGB are Russian spies.
Well not anymore. The KGB has apparently changed its mission to providing a text search service. The U.S. number is 542542, which is quite close to rival text search company Cha Cha's number of 242242.
I like text search services because someone else does the searching while I go on with my business. Cha Cha usually takes about 5-6 minutes to return an answer. So, I decided to test it out....
99 Cents per answer? In addition to text messaging rates? I can tell I won't be using this service often. But let's see how they do, and how they stack up against Cha Cha and Google's Text Service. I asked each of the services the same question:
"Which team has won the most men's NCAA basketball championships?"
KGB took 15 minutes to answer.
With Cha Cha, I get an answer in 19 minutes, which surprises me. In the past, I've gotten answers as quickly as 5-6 minutes. (I also realize that they've adding advertising to their text search. Notice the Walmart ad. I was wondering how they'd monetize.)
Google Text Search is a non-starter. Check this out:
With mobile internet on the rise, it's nice to see some good competition in the text search space, especially since Google doesn't appear poised to play.
In the meantime, it's entertaining to see what other mobile users are asking via text, which you can learn on the homepages of KGB.com and ChaCha.com.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Repairing damage after severe weather can be expensive. However, many projects can be done for little or no money. Most can make a big difference when preparing your home for severe weather and provide the extra bonus of lowering utility and home-maintenance costs year-round.
Here are some ideas:
1. Cut it short.
When floor-level water meets drywall, it wicks up into the wallboard which can lead to mold if left untreated. So when replacing drywall, create a small buffer zone by leaving a one-half inch to one inch gap between the bottom of the drywall sheeting and the top level of the floor. If adding carpeting, be sure the gap is above the carpeted level. Cover the gap with baseboard.
Cost: Free for this technique. Drywall and baseboard costs separate.
Benefits: Quicker, easier and cheaper cleanup in cases of low-level floods or common everyday spills, like liquids in a kitchen or bathroom.
2. Power up.
Raise electrical outlets. Check first to see what local codes allow, but most do not have restrictions on the height of an outlet above the floor. Consider moving outlets up at least one foot above the minimum flood level or 24 inches above floor level.
Cost: Free, if done after drywall has been removed. If drywall is still in place, costs can vary.
Benefits: Helps keep water from seepage or a low-level flood from infiltrating and damaging an electrical receptacle, which can cause damage to an electrical system and usually requires an electrician to repair or replace.
3. Show your numbers.
Add visible address numbers to a house exterior and to the street curb or mailbox. Though it seems like a small task it will make a difference if there is an emergency, especially if occupants need to be rescued. Large numbers are best. Consider visibility (color, design, etc.) when choosing. Check local building codes and homeowner association or subdivision covenants for compliance requirements.
Cost: Most numbers sold at home-improvement stores are four inches tall and cost about $2 each. Larger numbers, depending on style and size, range from $5 to $10 each.
Benefits: Missing or barely visible address numbers can cause dangerous delays for emergency responders, especially during a disaster. The larger the numbers, the easier they are to see at night or during bad weather. After a disaster, a visible address helps inspectors locate damaged property.
4. Put on a strip.
Install weather stripping on outside doors and windows to help seal out air and even water. Weather stripping should seal well when a door or window is closed. With doors, a space as small as one-eighth inch between a standard exterior door and its threshold, is equivalent to a two-square-inch hole in a wall. Closing the gaps can save up to 15 percent in heating and cooling costs and can help minimize the intrusion of low-level water.
Cost: Weather stripping supplies and techniques range from simple to complex but most are easily installed as do-it-yourself projects. Costs range from less than $5 for a one inch by seven foot white vinyl piece to $11 for a three-quarter inch by one foot aluminum and vinyl adjustable door set.
Benefits: Relatively easy to install, effective, durable, comes in a variety of colors. Vinyl stripping holds up well and resists moisture. Metal stripping lasts for years. Both are affordable.
5. Turn on the radio.
Buy a NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards to get advanced warning of weather emergencies from the nearest National Weather Service office. Radio broadcasts include such information as watches and warnings for heavy rains, flash flooding, severe thunderstorms, hu...

FOMO #42: Tommy Santee Klaws at The Echo Sunday, 11.4.12
WHAT Tommy Santee Klaws SOUNDS LIKE: http://bit.ly/U1N5wR
WHAT THEIR VIDEOS LOOK LIKE: http://youtu.be/tV9R0_26JI4
The man himself, Tommy Santee Klaws, has a brutal, quavering wail. At one moment, he's threatening, a well-reasoned exponent of dread. The next, he's the spokesperson for failed animals (think the weaker elk who did not win a mate, or a caterpillar with parasitic wasp larvae eating its guts.) The band provides a lawful commotion of agreement, punctuating the peaks and valleys like patches of forest. When they sing together, their voices harmonize like clouds in different weather. The upright bass makes doom-laden growls. The drummer caresses his cymbal with a violin bow. Beneath everything, toys and crickets, frogs, chirping birds, and weather act as framing devices, overtly relocating your brain.
Like some of the best Los Angeles new-folky type acts, Tommy Santee Klaws understands the trick of making nostalgia work both ways; into some bright future and the virtuous, murky past. Skinning the old to dress the new.
Don't miss him open for Mark Eitzel on Sunday, 11.4.12!

Apparently soccer moms love J. Cole, because the audience at ABC's The View was very excited to see the man behind Born Sinner perform "Power Trip." Like, he was rap game Wayne Brady for three minutes, basically. Cole was all smiles (probably still happy about that No. 1 spot), and while he performed the song without Miguel, the live band gave the track some extra body. Speaking of, he bodied that second verse.

Look at this baby picture of our universe. Wasn't it cute?
The European Space Agency on Thursday released this image yesterday, which depicts what the universe looked like a mere 380,000 years after the Big Bang. While that may sound like a fair amount of time, the universe was virtually an infant then, giving scientists new insight into its origins.
"The new satellite data underscored the existence of puzzling anomalies that may yet lead theorists back to the drawing board. The universe appears to be slightly lumpier, with bigger and more hot and cold spots in the northern half of the sky as seen from Earth than toward the south, for example. And there is a large, unexplained cool spot in the northern hemisphere."

Newly crowned "Sexiest Man Alive" Kim Jong Un isn't the biggest fan of Park Sang-hak, an anti-Pyongyang defector now living in South Korea who's near the top of North Korea's hit list. The outspoken activist was recently the target of a would-be assassin equipped with three seemingly innocent, easy-to-conceal weapons plucked straight from a 007 script. A South Korea "investigation official," speaking with CNN, described the weapons thus: A poison-tipped device built to look like a Parker ballpoint pen; a second pen equipped to shoot poison-filled bullets directly into the skin; and a small flashlight rigged to fire three bullets at close range. "You'd notice a gun," said Park, "but these weapons are so innocuous [they could] easily kill someone [without warning]. I'd be dead immediately." Park is hardly the first to be the target of top-secret spy weaponry.

Scientists in Scotland have developed an unorthodox plan to help fight climate change: They want to trigger a far-off asteroid to spew a large dust cloud into space. This dust would function as a cosmic shade to block some of the sun's harmful radiation from reaching Earth.
The nearest potential asteroid for the project, 1036 Ganymed, could potentially emit a cloud 1,600 miles wide with a mass of roughly 11 quadrillion-pounds, says Shane McGlaun at Slashgear. That's more than enough to block a sizeable chunk of the sun's ultraviolet radiation from hitting Earth.

New laundry detergent makes your clothes remove pollution from the air
In an unusual collaboration of form and function, scientists from the University of Sheffield and designers from the London College of Fashion have teamed up to create a liquid laundry additive, CatClo (Catalytic Clothing), that turns your clothes into pollution magnets using the magic of nanotechnology.
The laundry additive coats your clothes with minuscule particles of titanium dioxide, which, when exposed to daylight, attract nitrogen oxides — a major source of pollution — from the air. You only have to use CatClo once per clothing item, the developers say, as "nanoparticles of titanium dioxide grip onto fabrics very tightly." The additive can remove 5 grams of nitrogen dioxide a day — the same amount as emitted daily by an average family car, says the University of Sheffield's Tony Ryan — and the pollutants wash off your clothes the next time you do the laundry. "Not a bad haul for simply getting dressed in the morning," says Clay Dillow at PopSci.

Scientists have confirmed with 99.996 percent certainty that dark energy exists, and is causing the universe to expand.
"Our universe is a mysterious place," says Jennifer Ouellette at Discovery News. Roughly 4 percent of it is made of ordinary matter like stars and planets. The rest, according to physicists, is a combination of mysterious dark matter — which functions as an invisible glue that holds the universe together — and an even lesser-understood substance call dark energy, which is "causing the cosmos to expand at an accelerating rate."

Twelve years after he left his last regular TV series, Spin City, to deal with his Parkinson's disease, Michael J. Fox is returning to prime time.
According to Josef Adalian at New York's Vulture blog, the 51-year-old Fox has already pitched a new single-camera sitcom to all four major networks, and "two industry sources — using phrases such as 'feeding frenzy' and 'bidding war' — tell us it's now just a matter of which network will offer the most attractive deal."

While we can forgive an athlete who's, say, lifting more than 150 pounds over her head, like North Korea's Jong Sim Rim (top), for not always looking particularly poised, that doesn't mean we can resist smiling at her unintentionally goofball expression.

My own experience with this blasted achiev is that, at first, I tried doing the achieve by being nice and playing as well as I could (i.e., as well as a noob PvPer, in full PvE spec and gear, could do), and didn't get a single part of it on the first day I tried.
The next day I made myself into the biggest nuisance imaginable to my own team, refusing to do anything to help the team unless it gave me part of the achievement, and even intentionally hampering their efforts if it made easier for me to get something done, and got it in less than two hours for each of the two characters I was playing. Hint: bubbled players can't capture.
If I was doing it again this year, guess how I would try to do it.
BTW, as a side effect, this achiev alone got me so burned out with BGs, and PvP in general, that I refused to set foot on a BG again, except to farm achievements - and when farming achievements, teamwork be damned, I was not there to win, just to get an achiev done and /afk as soon as I got it (or go explore the BG as soon as I couldn't progress with the achiev anymore, while waiting for it to end - AV was really nice to stroll around).

Today, the crossword question is "Carrier for Casanovas?". First we find similar definitions for Carrier for Casanovas?, Next we will look for a few extra hints for "Carrier for Casanovas?". Finally, using all gathered information, we will solve , slangily crossword definition and get the final answer.
The best crossword puzzle solution and answer for "Carrier for Casanovas?" is:
Carrier for Casanovas? : ROUE AIRLINES
"Roue" is a lovely word, I think, describing a less than lovely man. A roue could otherwise be described as a cad, someone of loose morals. "Roue" comes from the French word "rouer" meaning "to break on a wheel". This describes the ancient form of capital punishment where a poor soul was lashed to a wheel and then beaten to death with cudgels and bars. I guess the suggestion is that a roue, with his loose morals, deserves such a punishment.
Please note! There may be multiple solutions to "Carrier for Casanovas?" with a specific crossword puzzle definition. We apologize in advance, if there is another solution for "Carrier for Casanovas?". Please send it to us or leave a comment below and we will add it too, ASAP!
