Reliable, Secure and Loyal
June 2014: BAUERFINANCIAL, INC., Coral Gables, Florida, the nation's bank rating firm, commends Richland State Bank, Rayville, Louisiana for proving once again that it is a steadfast and invaluable partner to the communities it serves.
The FDIC touts the benefits of community banks, saying they are "important providers of credit to small businesses and serve hundreds of counties and thousands of communities that are overlooked by larger noncommunity institutions." (FDIC Quarterly 2014, Volume 8, No. 2.)
Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial, added, "Community banks, like Richland State Bank, that have been able to earn and maintain Bauer's top rating for strength and security reflect that deep-rooted sense of loyalty to the local community."
Richland State Bank's latest 5-Star rating is based on March 31, 2014 financial data and signifies that it is one of the strongest banks in the nation. What's more, having earned and maintained this top 5-Star rating for 60 consecutive quarters, puts Richland State Bank in an even more elite group of "Exceptional Performance Banks", a designation reserved for those institutions that have earned 5-Stars for ten consecutive years or longer.
Richland State Bank was established in 1902 and has been a dedicated and reliable community partner for 112 years. It currently operates through nine conveniently located branch offices in Rayville, Mangham, Minden, Monroe, West Monroe, Oak Grove and Bastrop. Richland State Bank (www.richlandbank.net) is a member of the FDIC and an Equal Housing Lender.
Richland State Bank: "Rich in tradition. Rich in service."
BAUERFINANCIAL, Inc., Coral Gables, Florida, the nation's leading independent bank and credit union rating and research firm, has been reporting on and analyzing the performance of U.S. banks and credit unions since 1983. No institution pays BauerFinancial to rate it, nor can any choose to be excluded. Consumers may obtain free star-ratings by visiting www.bauerfinancial.com.

Evelyn Norene Uzzel Clark of Moore died Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012.
She was born in Red Oak on Nov. 27, 1927.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles O. Clark; son, Corby O. Clark; and brother-in-law, Marshall Clark.
She is survived by her son, Dane Clark; one grandson, Curren Clark; one great-grandson, Ahzyna Clark; two sisters, Peggy Kirkes and Phyllis Whitworth; three sisters-in-law, Jonell Hildebrand, Jean Estes and Diann Clark; cousins, Leonah Hein and Johna West; many nieces and nephews. She was deeply loved. Her loss is deeply felt.
Our precious mother and Meme, Elizabeth A. Coffey, went to Heaven on Oct. 27, 2012, peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family. She was born Dec. 6, 1927, to Lizzie and Wm. Blount in Poteau.
She married Paul D. Coffey, Feb.12, 1955. She was bookkeeper for their businesses, Coffey Construction, CEC Sand, H.D. Trucking and others. She was a loving, faithful and devoted wife.
The Poteau Pirates will have their Senior Night at 7:30 p.m. Friday against the Tulsa Rogers Ropers.
The Ropers were at one time one of the better schools in the state, and I understand that they won several state championships along the way. However, somewhere along the way something happened, and they completely stopped playing football.
STILLWATER — The old football adage says, "Defense wins championships." While it wasn't a championship the Oklahoma State Cowboys football team won Saturday afternoon at Boone Pickens Stadium, it was a Big 12 victory they got.
The OSU defense played stellar after the Pokes fell behind 14-0 due to Texas Christian University takeaways as it kept the Horned Frogs scoreless the final 39:22 of the game to win going away by the score of 36-14.
How time flies when you're having fun. Can you believe that by the end of this week, the regular season for 2012 high school football will be done? It just seems like I was doing small trips to our local high schools to do media days and preparing the 2012 LeFlore County Gridiron Preview. Now, come next Friday night high school football will be over for those teams who don't make the playoffs.
Sunday Couple Scrambles at Wolf Ridge Golf Course will take place at 2 p.m. Sundays. The entry fee is $15 per person for the nine-hole weekly event.
For additional information, call (918) 647-2582.
ARKOMA — The Arkoma Mustangs football team can achieve a .500 season by winning its final two games of the season. The locals took care of the first game.
The Mustangs celebrated Senior Night with a 54-8 rout of Southwest Christian on Friday night at Mustang Field.
The Mustangs (4-5) can end their season at .500 with a District C-4 victory at 7:30 p.m. next Friday at Webbers Falls.
HEAVENER — The Heavener Wolves football team, which was eliminated from Class 3A playoff contention last week, at least ended the home season on a high note Friday night at Harvey Stadium.
The Wolves handled the Idabel Warriors for a 41-18 victory to end a four-game losing streak.
ROLAND — After trailing by three touchdowns, the Spiro Bulldogs fought back to within four points with a big third quarter. However, the rally came up short as they lost to the Roland Rangers by a score of 36-24 Friday night in a crucial District 3A-8 contest.

We bring what comes around
2013/05/03 Leave a comment
I had a conversation with my mom recently concerning a certain person who has engaged in certain unethical actions. She has information about said unethical activities. I suggested (rather strongly) that she should do what she can to make that information public. Basically, she should make sure this person pays for his or her actions.
She blew it off with a "what goes around, comes around" kinda thing.
I exploded a bit (I am prone to that anymore).
The Koch brothers are assholes. How are their bad deeds "coming around?"
They aren't and they won't unless we do something about it.
That phrase "what goes around, comes around" is designed to keep people who are hurt by the actions of others from responding and, therefore, accepting the hurt that was imposed upon them as just. That phrase is designed to keep people from stopping the bad actions of others. That phrase is a phrase of oppression, to keep the rabble from uprising.
That phrase needs wiped from our culture.
What goes around won't come around unless we bring it.
It's time to bring it.

Helmet-less cyclists come up lame
I am a cyclist who has done big miles for a long span of years. I am also one who was hit from behind by a car in 2005, an accident which both projected me 85 feet into the air and required more than a year of recovery. I was lucky to survive and would not have, save for the helmet I was wearing. That said, I know what I am talking about.

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Plato (Poet)
|1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 21
Plato (Poet)
|Platon, Levshin→
|See also Plato (comic poet) on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
PLATO, Athenian comic poet of the Old Comedy, flourished between 428-389 B.C. According to Suidas, he was the author of thirty comedies. Some of these deal with political matters. Such were the Cleophon and Hyperbolus, directed against the well-known demagogues, and the Symmachia, referring to a coalition formed by Nicias, Alcibiades and Phaeax to get rid of Hyperbolus by ostracism. His later plays treat the vices and failings of mankind in the spirit of burlesque and parody. Such were the Sophistae, akin to the Clouds of Aristophanes; the Cinesias, an attack on a contemporary poet; the Festivals, satirizing the useless expenditure and extravagance common on such occasions; mythological subjects—Adonis, Europe, Io, the Ants (on the Aeginetan legend of the change of ants into men); Phaon, the story of the Lesbian ferryman, who was presented by Aphrodite with a marvellous ointment, the use of which made women madly in love with him.
See T. Kock, Comicorum atticorum fragmenta, i. (1880); A. Meineke, Poetarum comicorum graecorum fragmenta (1855).

So I talked with my editor a while back – I wanted to do a freebie for my series. Just a small something as a 'thank you' for everyone that's read my books so far and was hoping for more. There will be more in book 3, right? But book 3 is still so far away (December!)…
I wrote a prologue for the Succubus Diaries — you might recall that book 1 starts with her waking up in a Dumpster after a crazy night and meeting two rather unique individuals. So…I wrote the prologue to show a little bit more about how that night went down.
I hope you enjoy it! It's short and sweet and (I think) sets up some interesting teases for MY FAIR SUCCUBI, in which some questions are answered.
To download the short — entitled FOREPLAY, naturally — click on the banner above or go directly to the Simon & Schuster website. It's available until June 18th, so ACT NOW QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED.
Let me know what you think, guys!
(And yes, you do have to put in your email address, but you want to be notified about free stuff anyhow, right? Right.)

Nintendo 3DS Hands On (pics galore)
Yesterday we hit E3 and got a hands on with the Nintendo 3Ds. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us take any pics of it turned on or shoot any video while someone was playing it. Some of the pics came out kind of blurry due to bad lighting and user error.
Our impressions? The 3Ds is really cool. The 3D screen is very compelling and while the images aren't flying off the screen and into your face, you get a real sense of depth. Yes, you need to look at it straight on or the 3D effect is lost, but that's a non-issue since it's a personal gaming system. We played two games, both of which didn't require the use of the new analog stick. The 3D slider is a bit wonky feeling, but nothing fan boys won't be able to tolerate. They had a Kid Icarus game on display, but it was just the trailer and not a working demo.

SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is expected to miss 10-14 days with a left hamstring strain.
The Spurs say Ginobili had an MRI on Monday after getting hurt in the second quarter of Sunday night's game against Minnesota.
Ginobili didn't play after halftime against the Timberwolves after scoring 12 points. He also had five assists in his 12 minutes. San Antonio won 106-88 for its 12th consecutive home victory.
The 35-year-old Ginobili has already dealt with back spasms, a left quadriceps bruise and a thigh bruise this season, his 11th in the NBA. In 36 games, he is averaging 12.9 points and 4.6 assists per game.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

Workplace harassment is defined in the Prevention of Workplace Harassment Code of Practice 2004 (the Code). You have a range of remedies if you have been subjected to repeated behaviour by your employer or co-worker, other than sexual harassment, that:
- is unwelcome and unsolicited;
- you consider to be offensive, intimidating, humiliating or threatening; and
- that a reasonable person would consider to be offensive, humiliating, intimidating or threatening.
Workplace harassment covers a wide range of behaviour and can include:
- abusing a person when others are present;
- repeated threats of dismissal or other severe punishment for no reason;
- constant ridicule and being put down;
- sabotage of a person's work;
- maliciously excluding and isolating a person from workplace activities;
- persistent and unjustified criticisms, often about irrelevant or insignificant matters;
- humiliating a person through gestures, sarcasm, criticism and insults, often in front of customers, management or other workers; and
- spreading gossip or false, malicious rumours about a person with an intent to cause the person harm.
What is not workplace harassment?
Workplace harassment is not:
- a single incident of harassing type behaviour;
- acts of unlawful discrimination, vilification or sexual harassment (these are covered by Queensland or Federal anti-discrimination legislation);
- legitimate and reasonable management actions and business processes, such as actions taken to transfer, demote, discipline, retrench or dismiss a worker, provided these actions are conducted in a reasonable way (unless they are used primarily to offend, intimidate or threaten workers).
What obligations does your employer have?
Your employer is responsible for ensuring the workplace is free from harassment as part of complying with the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (Qld). Employers are expected to prevent or control exposure to the risk of workplace harassment in consultation with workers. This involves:
- identifying and assessing hazards relating to harassment;
- implementing control measures (perhaps through education or information sessions); and
- reviewing the effectiveness of those measures.
How are complaints made?
If you believe you have been subject to workplace harassment, there are a number of courses of action open to you, some informal, some formal.
1. Internal remedies
1.1 Speaking to the person responsible
You may choose to take up the issue directly with the person you believe is harassing you, although whether this is a good idea will depend on your particular situation. You should be careful to approach the person and your grievance with them in a confidential, non-confrontational way, with a view to resolving the issue in an informal low-key manner.
1.2 Speaking to your human resources/ workplace safety representative
As your workplace is required to have in place policies and procedures for resolving complains, the person who is responsible for human resources or workplace safety should be able to inform you of what steps you need to take.
It is also advisable to seek the opinion of someone else in the workplace whom you trust and is relatively independent.
The informal procedure for resolution of complaints in your workplace may involve mediation between you, the person against whom you have a grievance and an impartial third party.
1.3 More serious complaints will be subject to a more formal procedure.
The procedure in place at your workplace to handle more serious complaints should involve:
- a formal reporting procedure;
- an investigation procedure;
- a complaint resolution procedure; and
- an appeals process.
The procedure should also ensure that the person alleged to have committed workplace harassment is presumed innocent until allegations are proven true; and that they are informed of all allegations and given an opportunity to explain their version of events.
2. External remedies
2.1 Workplace Health and Safety Queensland
You can complain to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ) under the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (Qld) where:
your complaint appears to fall within the definition of workplace harassment;
your complaint is in writing, including the WHSQ checklist which must be attached to the complaint; and
your complaint has been raised at the workplace and an attempt made to resolve the complaint internally. Information regarding the outcome of this step should be included in the written complaint.
If these requirements are met, and a health and safety risk of injury or illness from workplace harassment is likely to exist, an inspector may be assigned to investigate. The purpose of the investigation is to determine if the obligations of the employer under the Act are being met. WHSQ has no power to order compensation to be paid to you.
There is no set time period for lodging a complaint but you should do so as soon as reasonably possible after the internal complaints process has been finalised.
For more information on making a complaint to WHSQ, contact your local Department of Employment and Industrial Relations office. Office locations can be found at: http://www.deir.qld.gov.au/corporate/contactus/index.htm
2.2 WorkCover Queensland
If you have suffered some kind of physical, psychiatric or psychological injury as a result of your exposure to workplace harassment, you may apply to WorkCover Queensland for compensation.
The claim for compensation should be lodged as soon as possible after the injury occurred, but within at least 6 months of seeing a doctor about your injury.
For more information about lodging a workers compensation claim and details about how to do so (including the application form) please visit: http://www.workcover.qld.gov.au/claims/Claimshome/Statutoryclaims/Lodgingaclaim.html
2.3 Queensland Industrial Relations Commission
The Queensland Industrial Relations Commission (QIRC) can hear and determine issues concerning industrial matters. The QIRC can make any orders it sees fit in trying to resolve your dispute.
If you have resigned from your job due to workplace harassment, then the termination of employment may be considered a 'constructive dismissal' and unfair. This may then fall within the unfair dismissal provisions under the Industrial Relations Act 1999 (Qld).
Your application should be lodged with the QIRC registry in the relevant form and accompanied by the appropriate fee within 21 days from when you resigned.
Reinstatement of your job is the primary remedy in the QIRC. However, if the QIRC considers that reinstatement or re-employment is impracticable in the circumstances, then they can order that the employer pay you compensation.
More information can be found at: http://www.qirc.qld.gov.au/.
3. Discrimination or sexual harassment
If you believe that the behaviour to which you have been subject amounts to unlawful discrimination or sexual harassment, different laws apply. You may be able to lodge a complaint with either the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Commission or the Commonwealth Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. For more information about discrimination and sexual harassment, please see: Queensland Anti-Discrimination Commission and Tribunal at www.adcq.qld.gov.au; and Commonwealth Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission at www.hreoc.gov.au.

Your local Suntech partner can assist you in choosing a solar power system. Go solar today»
WUXI, China and OLNEY, Md., Nov. 30 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Suntech Power
Holdings Co., Ltd. (NYSE: STP), one of the world's leading manufacturers of
photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, has announced a multi-year contract to
supply solar modules to a division of Sun Edison, LLC, North America's largest
solar energy service provider.
The total value of the contract ranges from approximately $50 million to
$90 million over the term of the contract. The contract is structured in a
similar manner as Suntech's long-term silicon supply agreement in order to
enhance steady operating results.
The United States has become one of the fastest growing markets for
photovoltaic products due to recent initiatives by a number of states to
promote the use of renewable energy sources. The California Solar Initiative,
which aims to increase the amount of installed solar capacity on rooftops in
the state by 3,000MW by 2017, is one of the most progressive. It is
anticipated that the solar modules shipped under this contract will be used
primarily in the California market.
''We are extremely pleased to partner with SunEdison, the largest solar
energy services provider in North America,'' said Mr. Roger Efird, President
of Suntech America. ''SunEdison has a proven track record as a major consumer
of PV products within the United States and we aim to grow together.''
''We are committed to being a long term player in the PV market in the
United States and are excited with this new partnership with SunEdison. This
new relationship with SunEdison presents a strong step forward in our
penetration of the rapidly growing U.S. solar market and our ongoing strategy
to diversify our sales geographies,'' said Dr. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's
Chairman and CEO. ''We are looking forward to working with SunEdison to help
bring clean and increasingly affordable solar energy to a growing number of
American homes and businesses.''
''This multi-year supply contract with us solidifies Suntech America as a
permanent fixture in the United States offering high quality, UL-certified PV
solar products. SunEdison only works with proven vendors for delivery of our
solar power plants in North America. This contract means that we have the
utmost confidence in Suntech product performance and quality,'' said Mr. Brian
Jacolick, vice president of sales of SunEdison.
In August 2006, Suntech established Suntech America, a wholly-owned
subsidiary with the goal of expanding market share in the U.S.

By now you know it's possible to get in a great high-intensity lower body workout at home with minimal equipment, which explains why you're standing at the bottom of a flight of stairs with a 25 or 45-pound plate in your hands. When you're looking for a quick fat-burning, and leg-strengthening training session, you can't go wrong with the combination of weights and stairs. And now, we're about to show you exactly what to do with both.
In our daily lives, we typically view stairs as an inconvenience. Walking up a flight of them is something we simply put our heads down and do, because unless there's an elevator handy, we don't have much choice in the matter. Stairs are everywhere, but there's a catch, and it's a beneficial one for you: when used correctly, stairs are one of the most effective workout tools in existence. Best of all, you don't have to join a gym to find a set.
The workout on the next page is designed for use by the home trainee who wants a grueling, circuit-style session that won't take long to complete. The idea here is to perform as many rounds of both exercises as possible – set seven rounds as an initial long-term goal – with minimal rest, breaking your previous record each week. Each exercise can be made either easier or harder by increasing or decreasing the number of steps in play.

Just for clarification - I have backups of the configs and could reset

knowing the old password.
I would suggest looking at the backup files, after making a copy of
them, and seeing if you can obtain a clear text password or even
password hash.
With the password hash I am almost sure you could run it through a set
of rainbow tables and also through another method to obtain the real
password, which in this case should be both the same obtained from the
rainbow tables and other app.
Take an evening, reset the device, try the cracked password. If it works
you have lost nothing and can reset the password. If it doesn't work you
have also lost nothing but you have gained the knowledge that the
cracked password is one that doesn't work.
Another thing to try is accessing the device from the cmd line via the
IP I am sure you have. Try and see if there is anything in the cmd line
help regarding lost passwords ie C;\> 'commandtoconnecttodevice -h'
sans quotes. Try the 1st cracked password too as maybe the web interface
has a different passwd.
And it's not actually the model listed and it's not a work device.
Didn't want to give away the actual model number, IP address and code

externally :)
Now who would do something like that? :)

GeForce GTX 680 SLI review -
GeForce GTX 680 SLI gets tested
Hey now ya'll -- before we start, we recommend you to read the standard reference GeForce GTX 680 review first so you know a little better what products we use in this additional Guru3D.com review.
Ever since the GeForce GTX 400/500 series we have seen some impressive increases in performance scaling when it comes to multi-GPU setups, in NVIDIA's case we obviously are talking about SLI performance. In the most high-end segment we more often notice some CPU limitation (processor bottleneck) here and there. That means with current generation processors like Sandy Bridge(E) with 3-way SLI for example, your GPUs might want to go a little faster, but the CPU is holding them back.
We always think it makes more sense to get two products in SLI multi-GPU mode as in theory the SLI performance should remain optimal, especially at monitor resolutions of 1920x1080/1200 and below.
Today we'll put that to the test with NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 680, we place a reference GTX 680 graphics card alongside an ASUS GeForce GTX 680, yes that is possible these days. We mix two different boards, both cards are running at reference clock frequencies to keep things objective of course, and so we'll see how well SLI performance behaves.
So if your wallet allows it, you can double up that shader count and thus performance with the help of NVIDIA's SLI technology. Multi-GPU gaming surely has grown to become more popular over the past few years thanks mostly to NVIDIA's SLI solutions initially, and obviously later on AMD's ATI CrossfireX joined that path as well.
Over the next few pages we'll tell you a bit about multi-GPU gaming, the challenges, the requirements and of course a nice tasty benchmark session. We'll have a peek at temperatures, power consumption and overclocking of the GeForce GTX 680 cards in SLI mode to squeeze out every last ounce of performance.
Have a peek at the products being slammed and spanked today, and then let's start up this article.
In this review we take the Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti KalmX. Palit's offering is the most slinet of them all, as it uses passive cooling. That's right, just a big heatsink is being used. The KalmX ru...

This mosaic of images taken in mid-January 2012 shows the windswept vista northward (left) to northeastward (right) from the location where NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity is spending its fifth Martian winter, an outcrop informally named "Greeley Haven."
Opportunity's Panoramic Camera (Pancam) took the component images as part of full-circle view being assembled from Greeley Haven.
The view includes sand ripples and other wind-sculpted features in the foreground and mid-field. The northern edge of the the "Cape York" segment of the rim of Endeavour Crater forms an arc across the upper half of the scene.
Opportunity landed on Mars on Jan. 25, 2004, Universal Time and EST (Jan. 24, PST). It has driven 21.4 miles (34.4 kilometers) as of its eighth anniversary on the planet. In late 2011, the rover team drove Opportunity up onto Greeley Haven to take advantage of the outcrop's sun-facing slope to boost output from the rover's dusty solar panels during the Martian winter.
Research activities while at Greeley Haven include a radio-science investigation of the interior of Mars, inspections of mineral compositions and textures on the outcrop, and monitoring of wind-caused changes on scales from dunes to individual soil particles.
The image combines exposures taken through Pancam filters centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers (near infrared), 535 nanometers (green) and 432 nanometers (violet). The view is presented in approximate true color. This "natural color" is the rover team's best estimate of what the scene would look like if humans were there and able to see it with their own eyes.

I love how this entire cartoon is the same gag repeated. Only Tex Avery would have the audacity to repeat a gag more than once and actually make it funny each time. Under many other directors' charge, this cartoon would have been repetative. But this is Tex were talking about. He made this work. True genius.

This truely the greatest MGM cartoon I can remember! It is definitely hysterically funny! No matter where the wolf goes Sgt. McPoodle of the Mounties, namely Droopy is everywhere! The wolf's cries are just too funny! I laugh at every one of them! The cries of woman's screams, to braying donkeys and horses, a lion's roar, even a train whistle, and a factory whistle can't keep from laughing! This indeed classic KEYSTONE KOPS SLAPSTICK, with the wolf reminding me of LAUREL AND HARDY! It's classic!

I've always loved the Droopy shorts. This is one of my favorites with the wolf. Mountie Droopy is on his tail wherever he goes and its driving him nuts. Tex Avery originated those wacky suprise looks that are copied to this day.

After the jetty saga, we felt more at eased (without all
the motor and taxi touts) when we were in town proper. Based
on what we have explored, Tanjung Balai was nothing more
than 3 main streets of shops. As of what I have seen in
Medan and Tanjung Pinang, it was mostly the Chinese that
owned the business while the Indonesians worked as assistants.
We visited a couple of temples in town and understand that
the Chinese here were mostly Hokkiens and Teochews.
Beer was easily available in provision shops and definitely
cheap at around Rp5.5k per can. As mentioned, most shops
carry Tiger/Carlsberg/Heineken: popular brands favoured
by Malaysians and Singaporeans. As we walked along the streets
with a Bintang, I hear Indonesians mumbering "Bintang,
Bintang". Not sure why they do that, but perhaps they
don't fancy drinking beer at noon. Maybe it is considered
extravagant to them drinking beer at noon. I don't know.
Lunch was Chinese-style pork rib soup with rice. As of
the places I visited, the prices of Chinese food is comparable
to Singapore (i.e. a bowl of noodles cost Rp9k-Rp15k). Athough I
didn't get a chance to eat in a warung, but I would
expect it to be alot cheaper than Chinese food.
As we made our way back to the jetty, we hooked up with
some Indonesians while they processed our ferry tickets
for the return journey. They commented that it was a waste
for us not to stay overnight. One of them "kindly"
offered to be our tour guide and promised to get us some
women (or 16-17 years old girls). We laughed it off. They
even "taxed" our beer just before we board the
Now, that was corny.

Topic - Alpine beginner course
momuscles69 - on 28 Jul 2013
Hi guys,
I've been a silent member on here for a while but have yet to leave a post!
I'm basically looking at going to the Alps this September for the first time mountaineering (I've been Cham before but only to ski).
I have done quite a lot of UK mountains in summer with a little at winter, and have done quite a bit of lead roping at climbing walls etc.
I was thinking of booking a course like the Intro summits 4000m course with ISM for a week and then maybe hiring a guide for 3 days to ascend Mont Blanc. Are the different levels of Alpine courses significantly different? As there seems to be 3 levels of Alpine instructing all at Ł1300 each. Would it make more sense and maybe cheaper to hire a guide for say 10 days and for him to teach me all levels of Alpine instructing whilst climbing MB.
I'd quite like to ascend MB without a guide but I don't know how competent I will be after the ISM course and its also a matter of finding a climbing partner, which I don't have.
Any suggestions on the quality of course, idea of guides etc will be greatly appreciated

Hedge this stock against CVS
This technique could protect you in the case of a market decline.
By Thomas H. Kee Jr., Stock Traders Daily
Are you interested in making money from the stock market by taking advantage of price fluctuations while remaining market neutral? Hedging techniques may be something that you should consider.
Using a hedged trade is very popular in institutional circles; the concept is to initiate a long position against a short position. Sometimes this is done using two different stocks within the same sector, but sometimes it involves stocks that are not related at all.
In the trading example below, the stocks are not related at all. In fact, I would consider them at virtually opposite ends of the spectrum. Not only is this true based on the markets they serve, but the same can be said for stock performance recently.
The stocks being considered here are CVS Caremark (CVS) and KLA Tencor (KLAC). Both have performed well this year, but recently one has surged while the other has languished. One of these stocks is also at major resistance, where the other is at support.
When trading stocks, the rules that govern successful trading strategies tell us to buy near support and sell near resistance, so that is exactly what this proposed hedge aims to do. KLAC is trading close to a level of longer term support, while CVS is trading close to a level of longer-term resistance, and the hedge is based partly on that.
The hedge is also designed to protect investors against the risk of a market decline, or market increase for that matter. If the market turns down, for example, a stock that is already a little beaten up could find stability (the sellers have already sold), while the other stock pulls back.
So this trade is to short the stock that is testing resistance (CVS), and buy the stock that is testing support (KLAC), with the intention of taking advantage of the oscillations that might happen in the natural cycles of these companies while remaining market neutral.
Traders who are interested in this trade should, as always, pay careful attention to both the fundamentals of the companies themselves and the macroeconomic environment too, but you should also expect, as is typical in almost all cases where opposite side hedging techniques are implemented, the company being bought might have had bad news recently, and the company being shorted against it may have had a series of positive events instead. That's normal, and goes with the territory.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/220887When operating a for-profit or non-profit business, it should be approached the same way. The only difference is that a non-profit business isn't looking to take the profit from the business, even though you still want to provide the most benefit you can for the organization.
You will have to file documents with the IRS to show that you want to become a non-profit business. Visit www.irs.gov for more information or a local accountant. My main question is what would be your main purpose for changing? In addition, do realize you can still be audited and will still need to justify legitimate expenditures?

Digestive Enzymes - The Hidden Dangers
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
Timmy Tzeiranakis: Do you add any water to the olive oil/lemon juice recipe?
Maria Magovskaia: What about for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's)
mrtruthforever: I have a problem with these recommendations: Firstly, very often, people with digestive problems often have various forms of esophagitis or GERD and raw foods can actually be abrasive. Secondly, using olive oil to stimulate the gallbladder & liver would very likely induce a terribly painful attack in one suffering from esophagitis. Thirdly, if there is congestion due to bile, there may very well be gallstones, and fats (olive oil) could bring on an excruciating gallbladder attack together with an esophagus ulcer attack. Therefore, I'd appreciate a video in which you explain how to first naturally heal the esophagus and then how to loosen bile after there are already gall stones present (i.e., how to dissolve the gallstones). Please don't refer to "gallbladder flushes" unless you can post lab analysis of the stones and document before and after ultra sound results. Thank you.
jason thrash: More FDA bullcrap
Birdie Reed: He uses the word "gut" as if the small intestine and large intestine were all the same thing. Food is digested in the small, and the large? Passage to rid the body of all it cannot use. What DOES he mean by "gut" ??
Lexi4211: I don't have a gallbladder so I have to take them.
melya feros: adding water could be problem.
Max Carter: is this just an opinion ?
jazz Lew: spot on, totally agree. the bile is the key to digestion and elimination
dearmurder: What do you eat when your bile duct is blocked and you have a biliary catheter??
Suzanne Renee: Ways to condition the body to no longer rely on digestive enzyme supplements.
5tonyvvvv: Leafy greens are great! But Digestive enzymes are NOT bad for you!! Taking 1 pill a day, is fine!
John Douillard: Only before a cleanse where you will reset digestive function and flora afterwards.
NaturalHI: My Digestion is so slow and bad that my Blood Pressure shoots up so high that I've been in and out of the hospital. I don't know where to start? Don't know if it's candida, low HCL, or bacterial overgrowth in the intestines causing my suffering.
TheRedtaz: i been taking digestive enzymes for about 5 years, and i never get stomach aches!
Simon Benjamin: How much digestive enzymes have to be taken to acquire these so-called side-effects? Does the amount matter?
nv4l: Conclusion...I will take even more digestive enzymes now!
Lasmamoe: This was incredibly informative. Thank you :)
Sae Min Ahn: Hmmm I just say take it when you have a heavy meal and leave it alone when you eat a nominal amount and balance of food...
88desertsun: Raw foods still have their enzymes, cooking food destroys enzymes. If you have problems learn how to prepare some vegan food and only take enzymes with cooked food. Just my experience though.
Lasmamoe: Im thinking that you didn't give the natural approach enough time. Some people are so impatient, they want a drug to fix everything. Im not saying that this is you, but healing your body takes time. A lot of time.
Lupinthetrac: I've learned so much from you, thank you very much! I bought your book and am excited to read it!
Charlie chu: Thank you, but what if you do not have a gall bladder. I eat very natural no food additives. All vegetables and fruit, meats and dairy. honey and olive oil, but my husband and I have allot of problems with stomach we both had gall bladder removed. Please have any suggestions. Thanks
Kunta Kinte: Todays foods & soils are - 50% deficient in enzymes & minerals so... Wouldn't enzymes be a great supplement?
Sopalida: Thank you for this information. What if your gallbladder has been removed? Any modifications or additional treatment? I have been taking enzymes with added ox bile. It seems to help a lot.
shawnsent: I wasted 7 years of my life with that same theory, focusing on the liver and detoxifying it only give short term minor relief. I've done 65 Clarks liver flushes and all sorts of herbs and greens to cleanse the liver It is not the liver one should focus on but the kidneys and the lymphetic system. with clean kidney, body will automatically clean out the liver and the lymph system. most of the time people get damaged kidney due to chemical and heavy metals from antibiotic/vaccin/mercury fillin
mashtee2003: I ate leafy greens with every meal(I still do), still had bloating. I tried Cinnamon but had skin eruptions! I started enzymes and my bloating problems are gone, my belly is not gassy and now I can exercise 4-5 times a week... I do agree that I am now dependent on these enzymes, but your suggestions I have pretty much tried and it did not work for me... sorry...
MegaSpiritualWarrior: Doc do you recommend colonics?
extrmntr: Hi doc, i was wondering if you can answer me one question. Can i still go without digestive enzymes even if im bodybuilder and eating few more meals a day then "regular people" and taking whey supplements? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.
Lasmamoe: Ofcourse you can steam the beets, but it definitely takes out a lot of the benefits.
NaturalHI: Can't digest RAW right now. Can we steam the beets? I have a cold, damp condition.

Looking for a day out with a real difference - then as well as going somewhere else, why not go somewhen else and visit Europes largest battle re-enactment and fair.
To all who helped make Tewkesbury 2006 the best yet.
Step back to 1471. To visit Tewkesbury Medieval Festival is to step back in time to 1471 - the year of the famous Battle of Tewkesbury, when the crown of England was won and lost on fields outside this small market town. Now in its 22nd year it is the largest event of its kind in Europe and attracts enthusiasts from all over the world. Last year they travelled from California, Poland, Germany and Holland as well as all over the UK Around 2000 of them will take part in a spectacular re-enactment of the battle, with 3000 more camp followers, including wives and children, living the life of an army on the move, throughout the weekends. Visitors are welcomed into the camps, where the re-enactors are happy to talk about the role they play and the equipment they use. There is also a large market, with stalls supplying everything needed to re-create a medieval life style,from a full suit of armour to a lace to fasten a gown, whilst others cater more for the general public, with herbs, sweets, clothes and countless other delights. Entertainment will continue throughout the day, with music, jugglers, story tellers, and displays of combat. There is also a large and well stocked beer tent and a range of caterers, including a pig roast and an organic, vegetarian restaurant. The fair opens at 11am and closes at 6pm. on both days. The battle takes place at 4pm on Saturday and 3pm on Sunday. Entrance is free, but do expect to be accosted by costumed bucket rattlers - who are trying to help cover the costs of staging this large scale and spectacular event.Click here for more about Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury is about a mile from junction 9 of the M5. The fair site is well signed from there. Pedestrian access is down Lower Lode Lane. Entrance to the fair is free. All dogs must be kept on leads at all times and doggy bags and bins are provided. The site is spread over several fields, so whilst everyone is welcome wheelchair access is possible, but not easy. First aiders and security personnel are on duty throughout the weekend. for further information ring Tewkesbury Tourist Information Centre on 01684 295027 or see transport at www.tewkesburymedievalfestival.org

FAIRBANKS, AK-This year's Yukon 1000 definitely exemplified what's regarded as the world's toughest riverboat race. Sometimes it takes a little luck to overcome tough obstacles and for Tony Peter the third time was the charm.
Peter, captain of the Gwich'in Warriors boat, along with navigator Prestley Peter and Engineer Earl Mahler from Fort Yukon, won the Yukon 1000 rolling into Pikes Landing Sunday afternoon finishing in 15 hours and 23 seconds. It's Peter's first win in three races.
Bi-Bones Express came in second at 17 hours 23 minutes and 15 seconds. The Express crew was Captain Tom Kriska, navigator Sherri Kriska and engineer Vern Stickman. Rookie Elijah Mahler and his Empty Pockets crew finished third in 25 hours 14 minutes and 8 seconds.
The rest of the field was decimated with hardships. Defending champion Tyler Huntington broke down near Tanana along with a number of boats that scratched because of mechanical problems. AJ Dick scratched because of a hand injury.
For Peter and the winning crew it was about finishing in one piece.
"Last year my lower housing fell off right there so it's good to come in with my lower housing this year so pretty nice, " Peter said. "I'm pretty happy. It was a smooth ride, never had no problems and really enjoyed it."
"We had a lot more parts and stuff we we're more prepared because last year was out first year and we really didn't know what we we're getting into. So I'd figured this year we knew what we needed now," Mahler said.
"I told them if we stay this consistent on the turns and we had only 54 miles per hour, 48, 49 but we just kept it up all the way back and I guess we got here second," Tom Kriska said.

Thank's Uncle Ben! The more he talked, the lower your dollar goes.
The dollar traded 0.1 percent from its lowest level this month against the euro after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said accommodative monetary policy is still needed, reducing demand for U.S. assets.
The greenback has weakened against all but one of its 16 major counterparts this year and Bernanke's comments added to speculation the Fed will embark on a third round of quantitative easing, or QE3. The euro remained higher after a two-day advance against the yen amid optimism European finance ministers will agree to bolster the region's debt-crisis firewall when they meet March 30. The yen weakened on prospects Asian stocks will extend a global rally.
"The U.S. dollar is going to find it difficult to rally," said Andrew Salter, a strategist in Sydney at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ) Bernanke's comments "were taken to mean the chances of QE3 were more likely," Salter said.
The dollar traded at $1.3354 per euro at 8:31 a.m. in Tokyo from $1.3359 yesterday, when it touched $1.3368, the weakest since Feb. 29. It bought 82.96 yen from 82.82 yesterday, when it gained 0.6 percent. The euro was at 110.78 yen, after rising 1.3 percent to 110.65 yesterday.

The BDC has noted the voice of concern from the public regarding the manner in which development occurs in the next 25 years. Responsible development should be rewarded. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission, the City of Charlotte and the surrounding Towns throughout Mecklenburg County have participated in extensive planning efforts to address Smart Growth in their respective communities. Developers recognizing their contribution to the environmental status of the community and responding with Sustainable Development (design and implementation) should be encouraged. Through this program, the BDC strives to proactively encourage Smart Growth development through permit fee incentives using regulations and the existing permitting and inspection (P&I) process to verify compliance.
Sustainable Design Basis
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their building's performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, conservation of materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality.
The Department will consider "equal" programs other than those specified (LEED, et al), which pursue the program's overall purpose of encouraging sustainable design while meeting other criteria set by the Department. Upon request, the Department will verify if a program is equal to the existing accepted programs. These "equal" programs will pay for any administrative expense involved in evaluating their criteria. Accepted programs may be added to the list of qualifying certifications for future program users.

Rebate Eligibility
The following criteria must be met:
How Our Program Works:
Prior to the Certificate of Occupancy being issued for a project the Project Owner must submit a written application for a Green Permit Rebate to Documents & Inspections at Code Enforcement. Upon receipt of the application the Department will list that project in pending status. Upon achieving certification the Owner will submit the Green Permit Rebate certification form to Documents & Inspections. Upon receipt Documents & Inspections will verify;
As a condition of this fee rebate, all project owners must agree to the use of their project name and images for the promotion of this program.
Rebate Calculations
Sustainable Design basis fee modification: provides a rebate of up to 25% of the Net Permit Fee to a maximum of $100,000 for projects on the following scale:
The program is funded by the initial start-up funds of $1,150,000 plus an annual 2%-5% maximum set aside of the previous year's building permit fees. This amount will be agreed to annually with the BDC and the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) as a part of the annual budget process. For example, in FY06 the set aside would have been $396,960 (2% x 19.848m). The overall accounting for the demand of this program will also become part of the Department's budget development process. Any funds that are not paid out by the end of the Fiscal Year will be evaluated for carry-over.
If all funding is exhausted, the qualifying projects will be allowed to re-apply the following budget year by submitting a new Certification Form.
Resolving Disputes
CUSTOMERS WHO ELECT TO UTILIZE THIS FEE REBATE PROGRAM AGREE TO THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH, AND THE OTHER CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION. The existing appeal process, ending locally with the Director of Code Enforcement, will be used to resolve any disagreements regarding program qualification, or final certification. Should the customer choose to appeal beyond the Director of Code Enforcement, both parties will engage an arbitrator selected by the Department, with the arbitrator cost charged solely to the customer.
Program Annual Review
The program will be reviewed on an annual basis as part of the Departments budget process. The data may also be reviewed by the BDC, as it sees fit, as a part of their regular monthly meetings. Rebates provided by this program are not guaranteed, failure to fund this program by the Department will not result in liability for outstanding or future rebates.
