All over the country senior citizens on Medicare Parts A and B are are now finding that with the ideal Medicare Supplement Insurance Insurance Plan they can:
Get a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan ASAP with the plans you need at a rate that works within your budget.
Safeguard your health and assure your finances with a Medicare Supplement Policy
Like the many of seniors that our agents have helped down through the years, you have probably found that trying to make up your mind on the perfect Medigap Insurance Policy is confusing at times. Plus, getting a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Company to work together with you when considering rates can be difficult also.
Good news though, you do have choices. Locating a Medigap Insurance Broker that that is trustworthy is a cinch when you take into account that:
Buy a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan with us and obtain peace of mind about both your low cost costs and the comprehensive plans.
However this is not the full extent of what we is capable of. Have you ever tried before to put in for an insurance plan like a Medicare Supplemental Insurance? All over the country American seniors are unfortunately declined a policy or gotten restrictions on their policy that they caught unawares once they had paid the first premium. There is often huge hassles involved in acquiring that payment returned or finding another equal Medicare Supplemental Policy or other plans.
Things like this occur frequently, but not to our customers. Our Medicare Supplemental Insurance Brokers in-house are also professional "field underwriters.†we'll not only assist you in finding the best for Medicare Supplemental Insurance Rates, but we'll insure you will be approved for the coverage first, before dealing with any paperwork. By answering a few quick questions about your current health and medical history, you can instantly enrolled for Medicare Supplement Policies that should accept you the 1st time, without a bunch of stress or fears about losing policies.
Our staff won't suggest a specific plan for you until we know your approval will be guaranteed by the Medicare Supplemental provider And, our Lowest Rate Guarantee ensures that you never ever need to write a check because of our brokerage services and are always making payments the lowest available price on the advocated plan you qualify for.
What's more, for your convenience, we have made arrangements with all of our Medicare Supplemental Insurance Companies to let you apply for their plans right over the phone in a manner of minutes. You'll get the inexpensive Medigap Costs available in your area, coverage for the rest of your days and, if you opt for a Medigap Plan F, you will never need to pay another cent going forward for Medicare-covered treatments.
If you want the best a Medigap Plan F is a great plan because it offers:
Medigap is an insider term given to health insurance policies usually called Medicare Supplement Insurance. The Medigap Plans augment the gaps in Original protection that aren't taken care of by Medicare Parts A and B and are made to fit with Medicare like a key fits into a lock.
Medigap Insurance is not an substitute for traditional Medicare like a Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works together with traditional Medicare. Also, Medigap Plans differ from Medicare Advantage since they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no issues with being "in nework" that could interfere with you medical treatment.
Consider that if you pick the right Medigap Medigap Coverage a Medicare Supplement Plan F for example you should never need to fork over any money at all when you have medicare care in a hospital, specialty treatment center or doctor's office that accepts Original Medicare.
When you pick Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your doctor or hospital bills are a little or a lot, you will will not ever have to pay anything for doctor or hospital bills as long as Medicare green-lights.
Medicare Supplement Rates: How it all works
If you need medical treatment with a doctor, hospital or specialty treatment center, simply show them your Medigap Insurance card to the doctor, hospital or specialty treatment center. Then, almost magically, everything will be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, after your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare will in most cases send your claim simply to your Medigap Insurance Company without you having to do anything. After that, your Medicare Supplemental Provider will process the claim, very often without ever needing human assistance
With a quick comparison of Medigap Rates, you'll have the one that is right for your finances and your health and then everything will be taken care of for you. And once again, if you decide on a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F from us, you will never deal with a remaining health care debt to deal with.
Our company stroungly believes that healthcare professionals should be permitted to decide what the best medical treatment is for you while your Medicare Insurance Plans insures you are not destroyed with medical expenses. Additionally, when select a Medicare Insurance Policies like a Medicare Supplemental Plan F it's YOURS FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. Unlike the restrictive Medicare Advantage Plans, provided that you routinely pay the premiums, the Medicare Supplemental Provider can't ever expropriate your plan away
Like all the of elderly Americans we have helped down through the years, it's become apparent to you that looking to make the decision on the right Medigap Plans is exacting and enough to make you lose sleep over it.. Moreover, trying to acquire a Medicare Supplement Insurance Provider who will help out when comparing Medicare Supplemental Rates can be wearisome as well.
Good news though, not every brokerage is like this. Working with a a Medicare Insurance Policy Broker you can put your trust in is no problem when you consider that:
Best of all, our services are free.
Medicare Insurance Rates: Why enroll and buy with us our company?
If you are on Medicare, you're in all probability encountering hard decisions on selecting the right Medigap Policy and you're in all probability being misled by Medicare Advantage salespeople.
Medigap Plan Companies are required by federal law to give each customer idententical coverage options plan details. So see, it's so very, very important to compare Medicare Supplement Policy Prices from the best carriers through a brokerage that's on your side.
We are different, in that we work on your behalf, not for any one particular Medigap Policy Company. licensensed agents scrutinize every of the Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan Carriers offering Medicare Supplemental Rates and seek out the good ones that have a long-standing reputation and also they can honor their commitments into the foreseable future. It's pretty simple,, our insurance industry analysts excludes the little Medigap Plan Companies and the shifty ones too..
When our team has found the perfect Medicare Supplement Policy Providers that match our uncompromising terms and stipulations, we employ our state of the art and our proprietary software to formulate Medicare Insurance Quote Comparisons. By shopping around for you, our agents find the best prices for your particular situation , not what the Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policy Providers hope to sell to you.
What is more that is not the full extent our agents can do for you. Have you ever tried to take out insurance coverage like a Medigap Policy? Many people, are denied coverage or received restrictions on their policy that they didn't see coming only after they had taken care of the first bill. Unfortunately there's often annoying issues receiving that initial premium back or locating other suitable Medicare Supplement Plan or other plans.
It's our job to keep this from happening to you.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.5 /5 from 122 reviews
Stayed 3 nights. Very friendly staff and comfortable hotel.
Staff was great, very friendly and attentive. Would have preferred to have a traditional door on the bathroom, and the pool needed attention. Otherwise, enjoyed our stay!
Our stay was wonderful. The staff was always available and courteous. On Easter they hid plastic eggs filled with candy for the children. They always had complimentary coffee, hot chocolate, and fruits set out. The breakfast was an average complimentary breakfast but was always fresh and fully stocked. The beds and pillows were super comfy. The coffee pot in our room was broke but replaced within minutes of letting staff know. There was remodeling at the time but didn't effect our stay at all.
The hotel is under renovation. It is going to be messy during the construction period.
Bed was not the best but the friendliness of the staff made up for any deficiencies.

This series points out who is a fucking moron, and why!
It's the International Moron Patrol!
Perfect music video for the song. Good job man!
Thank you!
good animation dude. it fits perfectly with the music
this is the first movie i'm judging and this is really good nice animation and nice song
This was AWESOME!
I am actually very happy with this. It is a rather nice music video, and I am a good fan of Nine Inch Nails. The concept was also nice and opened up a new meaning to that song for me. I will however state that there were a few parts that seemed to drag a little bit. Over all though a cool video with some great potential.
I agree, there are some parts that drag on. Thank you for the critique.

Highlights from the 2012 Democratic National Convention.
WHATSAMATTERU: Gotta give the Clintons credit for one thing. No matter the corruption charge or legal misstep they are truly the Teflon candidates. Hillary is one of the most incompetent people to ever secure a presidential nomination in our country's history but she never gets challenged on that because the crime and corruption charges keep the waters muddy. As for Sanders who the party bent over and a had a red hot poker party with him and his supporters. Well he'll be saying thank you to Hillary. It's sad and truly disappointing that the party that gave us FDR, JFK, and Harry Truman has been reduced to a woman who thinks herself a queen and has been planning and scheming for this coronation the last 8 years.

- References
- Cited By
The appearance and migration of mesenchymal cushion tissue within the truncus arteriosus of the normal 2.5-to 6-day chick embryo heart was surveyed systematically with the light microscope. Series of cross-sections taken from replicate hearts at successive developmental stages allowed comparison of the following qualitative and quantitative aspects of early truncal morphogenesis. Mesenchyme within the truncus was derived from two distinct sources. The first mesenchyme appeared to migrate caudally into the cardiac jelly of the distal truncus from the nearby aortic arch region, coincident with slowing of the anterior elongation of the heart tube (Hamburger-Hamilton Stage 17–18). A second, separate mesenchymal population, derived from endocardium, began to fill the conus and proximal truncus in a radial direction, coincident with expansion of the bulbus cordis (Stage 12–19). The measured kinetics of relative cell numbers, distributions, and mitotic indices suggest substantial contributions from both sources. By Stage 26, the conotruncal region was filled with mesenchyme, which then condensed to form the anlagen of three future structures: the semilunar valves, the aorticopulmonary septum, and the tunica media of the great arteries.

Rising to a great challenge in this remarkable study, Bruce Pauley compares the origins, development, and demise of all three forms of European totalitarianism, explaining why the old regimes that preceded the dictatorships failed, how the totalitarian movements arose, and how they captured, consolidated, and eventually plummeted from power.
Although its vivid portraits of the dictators' youths, early careers, relationships with women, management styles, and cults of personality–that they and their propaganda machines crafted–are certain to fascinate all readers, Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini is much more than a triple biography; it is a unique, interpretive comparison of the economics, culture, education, and health-care systems of all three dictatorships. While more conventional subjects such as diplomacy and war are by no means neglected, Professor Pauley goes further to explore the regimes' treatment of women, young people, and their terroristic oppression of religious institutions and minorities.

McClaren and England
I think I need to air my views prior to tonight's England fixture. This is going to seem the same old slagging the England manager off statement but I am must point out I am actually totally confused.
McClaren drops Beckham now whether this was because he thought he was too old or whether this was a power move to try and show the I am the boss manoeuvre. I suppose we won't know.
For me though when I heard the news of Beckham being dropped I thought "yes this is it lets move forward and start playing attractive football, lets get SWP or Lennon on the wing and start breaking teams down with pace on the flanks."
No first chance for McClaren to pick a youthful exciting team after the abysmal displays in the world cup and what does he do. Let's put Gerrard on the right.
Well I may be the only one that thinks this but McClaren if he really wanted to make a statement it should have been Lennon on the right Gerrard in the middle and Lampard on the bench. Dropping Beckham does not mean anything especially now we are still putting our players out of position.
So yes great we may win 3-0 tonight but does anyone really care when all we can see is the same old long ball crap.
I do hope I am wrong.This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Although I am sure Mclaren is "his own man" and has his own solutions to England's problems, its early days yet. Just dropping Beckham doesn't necessarily mean he is any different from Sven.
An interesting article by a journalist from a great footballing nation, Canada (!) sums it up for me.
Yep you were totally wrong. Lets leave these decisions to people like McClaren, who actually knows something about the game!
game over, england without Rooney, Owen and becks 4 and greenland 0, but Greece can also loose against San Marino with the way they defended and played, the only positive i can see is at least Lampard made a goal after his missed chances in Germany, and Crouch and Hargreaves are the most fit players around. the truth is that they played good and fast football and ofcourse they took their chances well, but i still did not see the class of the national team without rooney, owen and becham, the players has just finished from the world cup where most of the england players were a part of while Greece has not been playing in the world cup, so one cannot comment anything on this game whether it is right to take off becham from the squad and to include some new faces in the team, let us not forget that before the world cup tournament England with becks, owen, rooney and co have won the prestigious friendly in Swiss against Argentina, with Argentina best players, so do not get overexcited with a friendly in Old Trafford a team which is much lower rated in the name of Greece, what would one say is you have to see how germany demolished Sweden with 3 goals, and holland thrashing Ireland with the same big score. let us stand on our feet first, ok good luck England lets get on with it.

The point of putting Gerrard on the right is that he played there 25 times for Liverpool last season. Alan hansen believes this is Gerrards best position.
this then frees up a midfield spot for a holding player (such as Hargreaves) allowing lampard to do what he does for Chelsea
In essence, Mac is trying to play players in their club positions. The quote from him yesterday was "round pegs in round holes"

Fair point Jonathan, but I would have liked to see Mclaren take a stance and let players know "if you dont play well, you dont get in the team".
My only worry is that, by not taking this stance, players will slip into that same comfort zone they were in under Sven, and know they will be in the team regardless of how crap they play. Make a statement and drop out of form players regardless of form Stevie!!
PS. There is no excuse for Downing. Forget Lampard, he was the worst England player at the World Cup!!! That is clearly down to his Middlesborough connections
i agree with many of your sentiments, but i think you should wait and see the game before putting the boot in.
gerrard on the right could mean a diamond formation something like:
lampard gerrard
which might work well. gerrard would still be able to stay near the middle with neville and a.cole probably the best crossers in the squad giving the width.
i dunno. its a shame lennon isnt getting a full game, but maybe mclaren feels he isnt quite ready yet. and the sign of a great coach isnt always always about getting it right from the start, its about changing things when its not going right - something eriksson seemed unable to do. lets just watch the game and see what happens.

Completely agree !
The outstanding memory from Ericksons reign was that he continually played people out of position.
Owen Hargreaves was the prime example of this. He looked like a little boy lost in the various positions he was played in and what happened when he actually got to play in his rightful position ?? He was the England player of the WC !!
Perhaps the best example of this farcical tactic was porr Andy Johnson. EPL's top english scorer when he got his call-up, used to playing lone striker role, where did the bald pervert play him ??? Right Midfield.
He must have been devastated !
Lampard does not justify even being in the squad at the moment as he is just as out of form as Beckham.
By all means make your power statements but at least soddin well mean them !
If Downing is World Class I will be in the next starting XI !!
Laughable, the only surprise is that he hasn't dropped John Terry and persuaded Gareth Southgate to come out of retirement if he is that desperate to retain his Middlesbro connections.
FFS you dullard, play people in positions they know !!!!
Learn from the mistakes of your previous Boss you boring dickwad.
I was listening to Micky Quinn on Talksport this morning on the way to the hospital, and he made a very good point.
Basically this is McLarens first match as England manager and realy it is a must win game for him. So before he goes out and experiments with the team, I think he wants to get this game out of the way, with a win, then the serious stuff can start.
A Yahoo! User Aug 16, 2006 23:11 Flag
personally i think it boils down to Beckhams age... with so many younger players coming through he is preparing for the future and i think his squad selection proves that.
Other than that i agree with the team selection - putting Gerrard on the right is not a long term solution.

ok he is the new boss, but you cannot drop a good player like David Becham from the squad like that, he will assist the new players with his experience and just leave him on the bench if you hate the guy so much. please remember that the england training camp is not the same without Becks, and like Del Piero in Italy and Juventus David should be treated the same. he is one of those players who love his country, let alone his image and celebrity, but whatever the boss idea was for just drop him from the squad, i disagree with the way the good players are handled in England. With this reaction the England players know how are they treated in the future. McClaren stated that I will take off the fear from the players, the first thing he did he just dropped one of the best England players out of the squad, i would like to see a performance from england now that they can beat a team who has not even qualified for the finals of the world cup!!!!. then we can also speak, but even the rest of the England Squad were gutted by the reaction of the new boss of how he handled Becks. do not forget that until some weeks ago we were saying of having the best midfield, neither Lampard nor Gerrard have given us their best and Becham made most of the goals in the World cup, his experience is needed in the squad whether he plays in the first 11 or not is not that important. look at chelsea they do not look at the future they look at the present situation, we do not want a team for the future we need a team that can perform today,
from a liverpool fan ---- ditto ----
Lampard is a great player but out of form at the moment ....
and would have liked to see swp on the right and lennon on the left (believe he's played there a few times for spurs) with the two changing through out ....
Is Downing really world class... I'd rather (remember i'm a liverpool fan) have Richardson on the left

In this paper, we investigate online sensor activation to ensure detectability of discrete event systems. Detectability requires that states of a system can be determined or certain pairs of states can be distinguished by an external observer eventually or periodically. Since minimal sensor activation policies for detectability may not exist, two new concepts are introduced: 1) k-step distinguishability is introduced for strong detectability and 2) information-preserving is introduced for strong periodic detectability. The online sensor activation is then proposed and is based on the best state estimate available at the time of decision making. Three algorithms are developed for online sensor activation. The first two algorithms are for strong detectability. They minimize sensor activation while preserving k -step distinguishability. The third algorithm deals with strong periodic detectability. It minimizes sensor activation while preserving state information.

With all the church planting we see today, we often overlook the calling and the burden that is placed on the woman behind the man. Christine Hoover's vivid story-telling of the struggles and joys of being a church planter's wife is beautifully weaved into God's truth for women who find themselves under the difficult task of ministering to the man who ministers to everyone else.
-Matt Carter, church planter and Pastor of Preaching and Vision at The Austin Stone Community Church, co-author with Darrin Patrick of For the City: Proclaiming and Living Out the Gospel
Few things are as challenging and exciting as planting a church. This book will help you get through the tough times and help you appreciate the blessings in church planting.

Church planting wives, you will feel that Christine Hoover has read your journals. She is on your journey and is able to verbalize church planting skillfully and with penetrating honesty. This is a must read book. You have found the mentor you have longed for.
-Kathy Ferguson Litton, National Consultant for Ministry Wives, North American Mission Board
Across the globe the priorities of a church planting wife are the same: love the Lord, love your husband and family, love the church. Christine invites you into her life and the lives of other women as they have Christ-centered conversations about seeking to live out their privileged calling wherever God has planted them.
-Gloria Furman, church planting wife in the Middle East, author of Glimpses of Grace: Treasuring the Gospel in Your Home.
Too often we, as church planters' wives, have suffered in silence as we've battled criticism, isolation, or discouragement in ministry.

The Church Planting Wife will not disappoint!
-Tricia Lovejoy, wife of Shawn Lovejoy, who is the founder and pastor of Mountain Lake Church in Atlanta, GA and the founder of Churchplanters.com
Ministry is both a challenge and a blessing. The demands of responsibility can eat away the joy of changed lives.

In the past and present, we have seen her faith shine! In these pages she will help your faith shine as well.

-Ed Stetzer, president of LifeWay Research and author of Planting Missional Churches
The church planting wife--what goes on in her heart? It's an all-encompassing spiritual and emotional pendulum swinging from fear to trust and every emotion in between. Christine's vulnerable insights will encourage you amidst the heart-swings, offering a steady hold on peace in the God who called you. I've been deeply blessed by these truth-filled words after my 8 years on the planting journey.

I've read a lot of books about ministry (my husband is in his second year of vocational ministry, but we have served as active leaders and members in churches for years). I have never read a book that so perfectly pinpoints the struggles women tend to face in ministry, and then offers hope and biblical answers that aren't just band aids, but REAL heart solutions.
Some topics addressed in this book are: friendships, loneliness, prayer, dependence, humility and pride, priorities, selfishness, hospitality (Her perspective is SO freeing, I love it!) and the list goes on.
So buy this book if you are ANY of the following:
1. A christian woman
2. Active in a church
3. In ministry vocationally
4. Looking forward to serving vocationally
5. Struggling to find your place of service in the church
6. Wanting a closer walk with the Lord
7. A missionary
8. A friend of someone who is in vocational ministry
9. A husband in ministry
10. Wanting to understand and encourage your pastor's wife
You will find this book encouraging in your walk with Christ, in your relationships with others in the church, and challenging as you serve either vocationally or just as a regular attender or member of a church.
Though the author is a church planter's wife, the issues she addresses, the instruction and encouragement she offers can benefit any woman in the body of Christ.
That being said, we have often felt like a church-planting family. Like Christine Hoover, the author of The Church Planting Wife, I know what it's like to watch your husband slave over a sermon all week, only to find him preaching on Sunday morning to a congregation of three. I know what it's like to buy a house, praying that we'll have a salary to lean on in the years to come. I can relate to the fear that if just two families were to move away suddenly, the church might have to close its doors, and I also know what it's like to have to meet in the creepy "Knights of Columbus" building for several months because we lack a building of our own. And, by God's grace, I also know what it's like to feel overrun with goose bumps on a Sunday morning when our congregation sings a hymn a cappella, and the sound is so rich and diverse that I can barely hear my own voice.Read more ›
Christine offers the reader a transparent look into the struggles she faced as a church planting wife while offering practical and Biblical advice in seeking God for your Hope and Approval. She can speak (write) with integrity because she has been there. She is honest and down to earth making the reader feel like she's one of your best friends.
I highly recommend this book whether you are planting a church, thinking about planting a church, or several years in!

Can "grew warmer" be used as a replacement for "became warmer" anywhere? I've started to think of the phrase "grew warmer" and it seems kind of strange. Things can become warm, but it sounds strange to say that some things grow warm. Like for an inanimate object that doesn't grow, how is it ok to say that it grows warm? Can someone explain this?

Today, Dickinson stands in the front rank of American poets. This enthralling collection includes more than four hundred poems that were published between Dickinson's death and 1900. They express her concepts of life and death, of love and nature, and of what Henry James called "the landscape of the soul." And as Billy Collins suggests in his Introduction, "In the age of the workshop, the reading, the poetry conference and festival, Dickinson reminds us of the deeply private nature of literary art."

Read an Excerpt
Today Emily Dickinson is recognized not only as a major poet of the American nineteenth century but also as one of the most intriguing poets of any place or time, in both her art and her life. The outline of her biography is well known. She was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1830 and, except for a few excursions to Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston, spent her entire life there, increasingly limiting her activities to her father's house. "I do not cross my Father's ground to any House or Town," she wrote, referring to a personal reclusiveness that was noticeable even to her contemporaries. In the front corner bedroom of that house on Main Street, Dickinson wrote over 1,700 poems, often on scraps of paper and on the backs of grocery lists, only a handful of which were published in her lifetime and then anonymously. She was known to give poems to friends and neighbors, often as an accompaniment to the cakes and cookies she baked, sometimes lowering them from an upstairs window in a basket. Her habit of binding groups of poems together into little booklets called fascicles might indicate she felt her poems were presentable, but most of her poems never went farther than her desk drawer where they were discovered by her sister after Dickinson's death in 1886 of kidney failure. In her lifetime, her poetry remained unknown, and although a few small editions of her poems were published in the 1890s, it was not until 1955 that a reliable scholarly edition appeared, transcribing the poems precisely from the original manuscripts and preserving all of Dickinson's typographical eccentricities (see Note). Convincingly or not, she called publication "the auction of the mind" and compared the public figure to a frog croaking to the admiring audience of a bog.
It is fascinating to consider the case of a person who led such a private existence and whose poems remained unrecognized for so long after her death, as if she had lain asleep only to be awakened by the kiss of the twentieth century. The quirky circumstances of her life have received as much if not more commentary than the poems themselves. Some critics valorize her seclusion as a form of female self-sufficiency; others make her out to be a victim of her culture. Still others believe that her solitariness has been exaggerated. She did attend school, after all, and she maintained many intimate relationships by letter. Moreover, it was less eccentric in her day than in ours for one daughtershe had a brother who was a lawyer and a sister who marriedto remain home to run the household and assist her parents. Further, all writers need privacy; all must close the door on the world to think and compose. But Dickinson's separatenesswhich has caused her to be labeled a homebody, a spinster, and a feminist icon among other thingstook extreme forms. She was so shy that her sister Lavinia would be fitted for her clothes; she wore only white for many years ("Wear nothing commoner than snow"); and she rarely would address an envelope, afraid that her handwriting would be seen by the eyes of strangers. When asked of her companions, she replied in a letter to Thomas Wentworth Higginson, "Hills, sir, and the sundown, and a dog large as myself that my father bought me."
However tempting it is to search through the biographical evidence for a solution to the enigma of Emily Dickinson's life, we must remember that no such curiosity would exist were it not for the poems themselves. Her style is so distinctive that anyone even slightly acquainted with her poems would recognize a poem on the page as an Emily Dickinson poem, if only for its shape. Here is a typical example:
'T is little I could care for pearls
Who own the ample sea;
Or brooches when the Emperor
With rubies pelteth me;
Or gold, who am the Prince of Mines;
Or diamonds, when I see
A diadem to fit a dome
Continual crowning me.
Meet the Author
Many of Emily Dickinson's poems have been reprinted in anthologies, selections, textbooks for recitation, and they have increasingly found their elect and been best interpreted by the expansion of those lives they have seized upon by force of their natural, profound intuition of the miracles of every day Life, Love, and Death.
She herself was of the part of life that is always youth, always magical. She wrote of it as she grew to know it, step by step, discovery by discovery, truth by truth - until time merely became eternity.

I was looking for a book for school, more specifically a certain poem. I think this site would be much more useful if there was some way to link to a list of the poems in the book, it might help customers figure out a little better what they are looking for.
Emily Dickinson¿s poems can be long and boring or so interesting that you just can not put that huge book of poems down. It is all in what type of reader you are and what poems you read of hers. Considering there are thousands of her poems throughout many different books, it¿s impossible to read them all. The book I read (which I felt had a very diverse variety of poems) was ¿The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson¿; this book I feel had everything you are looking for. For the common reader or the deep poetry person this book contains something for everyone¿s taste buds. It also contains different chapters on different topics such as: life, nature, love, and time and eternity. To anyone who would love to sit down and read a few good poems before going to bed, this book is for you. Dickinson can express herself in many different ways, taking you on a new roller coaster every time. The different topics expressed in this book all have their different ways of being written and no matter how short or long, the writing is just better and better. I found that the first few poems in the book started off slow. I found the first few poems slow because they were all pretty long and very hard for me to comprehend. After that they all flowed nicely together and they got better every time. They were better because they flowed nicely together and were shorter and easier to read one after another. Overall this book was very good. I gave this book four stars for all the reasons mentioned above and because i enjoyed reading it.

Detroit Cup - Stevens and team still on top
by Luiz E. Kahl on 20 Aug 2011
Detroit Cup 2011 Detroit Cup
ISAF Grade 2 Detroit Cup, presented by Bayview Yacht Club, Michegan, is being held from 17th to 21st August 2011.
With three flights left to complete the round-robin and five teams already finished this round, the scores suggest some potential qualifiers are already emerging in the ISAF Grade 2 Detroit Cup. The uncertainty lies with the weather forecast and how many more flights can be squeezed in to the remaining two days of competition.
Racing started after a brief delay in a light easterly thermal breeze aligned up the axis of the Detroit River venue, with the course oriented perfectly in front of shoreside venue at Bayview YC. This breeze left with the setting sun, however, making the last flight a slow motion ballet against the current for the six teams in the day's final matches. The teams persevered nonetheless and kept the racing close in the event's equally-matched Ultimate 20's, with some of the most exciting matches ironically found in this dying breeze.
But the attention is now shifting to the leader board and speculating who is safely through to the next stage, who still has a shot, and who is out.
Maintaining a lead earned yesterday, Wellington, New Zealand-based Mathew Steven and his team still sit atop the leader board, extending their lead to nine points, with Sydney, Australia-based Jordan Reece and his team two points back. Only fellow Kiwi Laurie Jury lies within striking range of Steven, having three matches left and having defeated Steven already to win any potential tie-break.
The standings then go to Florida-based Brad Funk on six points, but with one make-up match to complete, followed by Nicolai Sehested from Denmark also on six points. Top-ranked Kiwi Reuben Corbett is already on five points with three matches left, and Connecticut-based Dave Perry and Kiwi Will Tiller are each on four points, but also with three matches left.
If all these teams won their remaining matches and the rest lost theirs, these would be the top eight to advance to the intended Quarter Finals in the next stage of the event. But lurking in the wings on three points is defending US Trifecta champion Taylor Canfield from the US Virgin Islands and his team, who has dug back from a terrible day yesterday that took them briefly into negative points to win every one of their three matches today. If this continues, he could go to six and ease into the top eight, as could local-based Chris Van Tol, who has the potential to get to five points and maybe squeak through as well.
But another local-based team led by skipper Kent Colpaert will have to wait until their next event to advance to the next stage, being winless in the round robin. And New Orleans-based Shawn Ryan had the satisfaction of defeating second ranked Corbett today, but on three wins will not qualify to advance to the next stage.
Those that do not qualify are intended to race a ninth-12th place sail-off, if weather permits.
The conclusion of round robin match racing continues tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM local time, with the next stage determined once this stage is complete.
The Detroit Cup is the second stop on the four-stage US Grand Slam Series, a series of four consecutive ISAF Grade 2 match race events composed of last week's Chicago Grade 2 Invitational, this week's Detroit Cup, next week's Knickerbocker Cup, and the following week's concluding Oakcliff International. Winner of the series will get an invitation to next year's ISAF Grade 1 Congressional Cup in Long Beach.

My funny Packers/Brewers idea of the day (maybe)
Last night, I was watching the Brewers game and FS Wisconsin's Brian Anderson asked viewers what position Prince Fielder would play if he was a football player. I'm not sure what spot won the poll, but fullback seemed to me like the best answer. Prince always struck me as having a William Henderson-esque physique.
This morning, I was talking to my colleague, Drew Olson, who does a little work with Brewers TV, and he told me that he'll fill in for Telly Hughes for Sunday's game. I told him it was low pressure, since most Wisconsin sports fans will be watching the Packers instead of a now meaningless Brewers game.
Then, I ran across an ad on Brewers.com for a new crop of team hats. When I saw the green and gold Brewers "crossover cleanup hat," I had a silly idea. We've all seen people wearing Packers jerseys to Brewers games (I hate that), but let's say your loyalty truly is divided some Sunday afternoon in the fall.
Why not wear this Packers' themed Brewers hat and a Packers jersey that reads Fielder #28 on it? At the very least, it would get some chuckles. At its best, it would blow some peoples' minds (like my first impression of that hat).
Funny idea? Maybe. Been tried before? I haven't seen it. Am I gonna do it? Nope.
But if you do, let me know how it works out.
You don't even have to give me credit for the idea.

This borders on the line of silly! this hat is like the guy who wears a favre jersey to a brewer game! why do it. I will give you points for being creative but if people start wearing that hat it will be a disgrace to the brewers! do we have to "packer" everything?

Recent news that Treasury is considering scrapping stamp duty levied on property transactions presents a new chapter in real estate business.
Well, that is until the proposal is actualised when the Budget is read next week on June 10.
Stamp duty is a form of tax incurred by buyers whenever they purchase property and is paid directly to the Government coffers.
Property analysts see the tax as a hindrance to the growth of real estate business as it increases cost of transactions and is time consuming.
"Property players have always been of the view that stamp duty should be done away with as is the case in countries that have followed the route and successfully encouraged investment into the real estate sector," says Wilberforce Oundo, the chief executive officer of Regent Management, a regional property company.
"As structured now, it is an additional cost to the buyers, is cumbersome to actualise as it takes time and in the process lengthens the duration of a property transaction."
Plans that the stamp duty might be done away with came alive recently when Joseph Kinyua, Treasury Permanent Secretary — noting the concerns of real estate players — hinted that negotiations between the Ministry of Finance's budget department and real estate professionals were at an advanced stage.
The discussions aim at doing away with the charge altogether in the next financial year beginning July, or at least, changing the manner it is levied.

"Payment of stamp duty and a number of contradicting regulations in the real estate sector have been a major concern to Treasury," says Kinyua.

"We are in the process of looking for ways that will address these concerns expressed by real estate players come the Budget day, with a view of doing away with the tax regime all together or revising it in such a manner that will be acceptable to both parties," he adds.
Larger mortgage loans
If treasury abolishes the stamp duty, Kenya will have followed in the footsteps of countries such as South Africa where stamp duty charges were withdrawn years ago to spur development in the property sector and encourage home ownership.
In countries like the United Kingdom for example, which coincidentally Kenya draws most of its laws from, stamp duty tax regime was revised several years ago to take into account the nature of the transfer transaction and other interests. In the UK, stamp duty is varied depending on the property being sold among other considerations while in Kenya, it is charged at a flat rate of four per cent of the total value of any commercial property transaction.

Moment must have been feeding the Bibby cheeseburgers all year because it came back a little fatter and softer than we've previously known it to be. The waist has gone up 4 mm to 120 mm, and the turn radius drops slightly to come in at 23.5 m, compared to last year's 24.5 m. Don't let the numbers mislead you though, the new version is anything but lethargic. The wider shape floats better than ever, and the rocker profile is that of a subtle mustache, allowing you to float with ease and still carve up a nice turn on the hardpack.

In the July 2000 issue, Moshe Bar's article "Linux System Calls" contained information that I would like to correct. I suspect Moshe noticed by now that he was temporarily caught in a pre-i386 time warp when he stated, "This routine sets up an IDT (Interrupt Descriptor Table) with 256 entries, each 4 bytes long. It should be noted that the IDT contains vectors..." This is more a description of the pre-i386 IVT (interrupt vector table) than the IA32's IDT.
The IA32 uses another level of indirection. In particular, the IDT contains 8 byte descriptors which are either interrupt, trap or task gates. I suspect Linux uses the first two varieties. These gates contain the interrupt handler's 32-bit offset, some attribute bits and a 16-bit selector which references a code segment descriptor. In this case, that code segment descriptor is in the GDT (global descriptor table). This descriptor also consists of 8 bytes and vectors to the code segment containing the interrupt handler. The entry point for the handler is derived from the 32-bit offset lurking in the original IDT entry.

I would like to express my support of more articles such as the one on WAP in the July issue. Recently, I was working on a WAP proof of concept for my organization. While I was motivated to move on the project, I was having difficulties taking the relatively new WAP standard and applying it in a straightforward manner to a commercial-quality proof of concept my organization would support. Mr. Mikal's article got to the meat of the issue and demonstrated how to get productive in the WAP space, while leveraging the skill sets that I, and other engineers here, already had. This one-page article got the ball rolling on producing my organization's wireless presence. In doing so, another organization has embraced open-source and free software. It is articles like this, and the knowledge sharing of the Linux community, that make magazines such as Linux Journal welcome in my cubicle.
Thanks to Mr. Mikal and Linux Journal.

When Linux began to grow in popularity, I jumped in, only to be put down by fellow Linux users. I used Linux on a Macintosh. As time went on and Linux distributions for the Mac grew, it became obvious that Linux users would have to acknowledge the Mac. But, rejection continued.
As a Mac user, I was aware of Linux before my PC pals. Apple had MKLinux, "an Apple thing", I was told. Today, SuSE, the #1 distribution of Linux, is available for the PPC. I'll be merciful and not list all the others. After seeing the ads for PPC and Yellow Dog, it's nice to see a couple of articles, unlike the one degrading MKLinux in LJ a few months ago. Thank you.

Two things on your Python supplement:
First, the uproar over the naked man. I honestly didn't notice he was naked. After reading the Letters column, I went back and looked; and sure enough, nothing but a bowtie. Considering how much I've seen Laura Croft (and I've never seen or played whatever video game she's in), it only seems fair that some computer magazine would have a naked guy.
As for Guido's pet language (haha! ha! oh never mind...), I must admit I think it's a bit lacking compared to Perl in one way. A fixable way, mind you; this isn't a fatal flaw type of thing. The problem is cpan—Python seems to be missing it. Perl has cpan; pretty much all Perl modules can be found on cpan and installed with the following steps:
perl Makefile.PL make make test sudo make install
Now, I've been looking at Python for a specific problem: I need to take data in a mySQL database and put it into a PostScript printer. Python seems to be able to communicate with mySQL, and its piddle module is both delightfully named and PostScript capable.
However, I still can't get mySQL connections to work, and the piddle install file was bordering on useless (but I got it working). I'll keep at it because I have to, but I think the Python development community should attempt to recreate (and perhaps improve) cpan. As a developer, I've found cpan to be one of the best practical systems to enable code reuse. In fact, the C, C++ and pretty much all development communities would be wise to create their own versions of cpan.
—Kevin Lyda email@example.com
I just got through reading all of the letters in the July 2000 issue from people complaining about the cover of the supplement. Big deal! I own a computer store smack down in the middle of the bible belt. I put all of my old magazines out front for customers to look at while I am working on their computers, and not one person has complained about the cover. I service people from all walks of life, parents, teachers, clergy, children, etc., and no one has taken offense to the publication...in fact, it has caused Windows-only kind of people to ask about Linux. Have even had a couple of converts because of it.
Regardless of what anyone else says...keep up the good work.
—Rodney Rees firstname.lastname@example.com
I read the July 2000 LJ Letters, which was dedicated to reader responses to your Python supplement cover in May. I could well remember that supplement which motivated me to add Python to my language collection. It never occurred to me that the cover picture was offensive.
Mind you, I am a university lecturer, and my pigeonhole is transparent. This picture which annoyed so many in the Western world went here, in an Asian, predominantly Buddhist country, unnoticed!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.
