Get everything you want, lose what you had
Down here in New Orleans"
Dr John
'Treme' HBO's magnificent season one, introduced us to the New Orleans of post-Katrina, the music, the people, the problems, the lives of the everyday people trying to make it work. In Treme's second season we see and really feel how the natives live and die.
'Treme' season two moves to the lives of the musicians, the businesses trying to thrive and into the police stations and politicians pockets. The regulars like Antoine Batiste, played by Wendell Pierce, find themselves trying to rebuild their lives. In his case, he is a trombonist and works in the local school band by day and in the clubs by night. Terry Colson, played by David Morse, is a detective in the police department, where he feels out the greed and graft of his colleagues. Melissa Leo, plays Toni, the local lawyer who fights for her clients and now finds herself trying to help her daughter, Sofia. Sofia, played by India Ennenga, who is reacting to a tragic loss, has become the teenager with rebellion andresentment. Chef Janette, played by Kim Dickens has moved to New York City to try and ply her wares in the big time. Professional trumpeter Delmond, played by Rob Brown also moved to NYC to find his profession.
'Treme' season two looks at the day-to-day journey of its people. A lot going on in the second season. In every episode there are surprising finds. I became involved in the characters lives, and their struggles. Ladonna, played by Khandi Alexander, has a personal tragedy that leads to more grief. There is so much personal grief and trauma that all of the crinme in New Orleans takes its toll.Read more ›
My only real criticism at this point is the supplemental audio commentary. It is supposed to be about the music, but they skip over some important musical scenes and, like Delmond's New York friends, they make inane cliche-ridden comments on the events of the time; they even make mistakes about the plot line. These guys should stick to filling in the facts about the music.
Looking forward to the third season. Has become one of my all time favorite series.

For those who worry about it, the keyboard is US-type (NOT Quebec, so no accents), and as for the OS, you can choose one language (French, English, Spanish, Italian and maybe others but not sure) at windows first startup, but windows tells you that you won't be able to change afterwards.
As for the heat, well... none so far. We tested the blueray reader for 3 hours (lord of the rings extended edition !!!) and after the movie, the computer was still cold. We also tested a bit of online gaming (Aion, with graphics settings on "high") for a few hours, and still no heat. There was a tad of warmth localized towards the processor after more than 5 hours, but not hot at all. We ran a simultaneous installation of mathlab and a virtual ubuntu oneiric, and the computer remained cold and functional the whole time.
Noise : none. The fans make a very very soft whoosh that can't even manage to cover my upper neighbour's snoring (and I'm getting the snoring trough the ceiling...), or my fridge (which is in another room) for that matter. The disk reader does not make sound either.
Sound : there has been complains that the sound is not loud enough. I agree the maximum output from the speakers is not loud. But it is ok. I am hearing impared, I watched the whole movie with the internal speakers only (at maximum volume) and that was ok. Sure enough, you'll never wake up your whole street with these speakers, but the sound is sufficient. And the sound quality is excellent. If you really want to make the walls shake, you just have to buy a good sound system, and the sound card of the asus will deliver that in high quality for you.Read more ›

Presentation: Little Things Make the Biggest Difference - How To Drive Customer Loyalty and Advocay
In customer experience, there is no such thing as meeting expectations. You either exceed expectations, or you fall short. According to an IBM study, more than three out of four customers expect organizations to understand their individual needs. Some call this the Amazon Effect. Trendwatching.com calls this info-sense, which is using data to understand and meet the individual, personalized needs of your customer.
Jack Welch said there are two forms of competitive advantage: Learning more about your customers and putting it into action faster than your competition. Are you turning big data into useful data? Are you leveraging analytics to improve the customer journey?
Evan Carroll, co-author of Blue Goldfish, will uncover how companies are using data, analytics and technology to create world-class customer experiences. You'll leave with a full toolbox of strategies, tactics and practical advice to improve your customer experience and ultimately your bottom line.
Bonus Workshop - Think Outside The Bowl: Bringing Purple Goldfish Strategy to Your Organization
Based on the Purple Goldfish Series of books, this workshop challenges attendees to think differently about their customers and employees and do the little things that make a big difference in customer experience. Creating change, however, is an uphill battle and not knowing how to start can stop even the best companies from moving forward. That ends here.
In this workshop, co-author Evan Carroll will reveal the ways companies are using little things to improve customer experience and leave you with the tools to implement customer experience programs in your company.

AN : My writing style changed a bit. Actually I had typed out this chapter ages ago, but something happened and I lost it Q_Q No motivation until now.
Sorry for the long wait!
p.s.: I'm not good at english, sorry :)
Chapter 3
they say you're an awful dreamer; you dream a reality, don't you?
For some incoherent reasons, girls defined a random encounter inside the train as one epitome of highschool romance.
They cooed on a very idea of girl A bumping on boy B as the work of fate. Just one sight from the Mr. Right to Miss Sweetheart as the red threads rolling away; pink arrows would tick straight to their hearts, hatching pretty flutterbies in the veins, floundering sparkles and pretty flowers and cherry blossom smile. They would go all dokidokidoki and their hearts, literally said, beating as one in loud thumpthumpthump. This nonsense had its own popular trope:
falling in love at the first sight.
Whatever. He held an opinion that it was contemptuous, but Seto had been famous for being cynical in any aspects called love. Ren said it was fairly typical for dull, sad man named Seto, who never tasted love in his youth, to have such bitter judgment against romantic tendencies. He snorted back sarcastically at her words and rubbed the fact that Ren's love life was huge chunk of failures.
Falling in love? It's more like fail-ing in love for you, Ren.
He could recall her amazing shin-breaking kicks.
Seto despised train in working day. He was absolutely allergic to the very idea of swimming in crowd full of strangers, sweats and perfumes filling up to his nostrils, damp bodies slicking on his own, itch crawling on his skin. He tried to move to the left, and then to the right, back and front, but peoples on the train showed him no mercy. Everything in his eyesight made of heads and bodies and dangling handbars. The air conditioner didn't even work.
Seriously girls had no mind to qualify this blazing inferno as romance.
He had tried to adapt on this tight surroundings, fingers adjusting themselves to get better grip on handbar, his lungs already yearning for fresh air. The old man on his left sweated a lot, the girl in funky harajuku on his right smelled like cheap perfume, the frowning grandma in front of him stood too near for his own liking. He could count wrinkles in her crumpled-paper skin.
God. If it wasn't for his Grandpa's request of top-quality Kamaboko sold in another district, he would never allow his body and soul to experience such disgrace.
He sighed. Well, only fifteen minutes until he would reach the station. Fifteen minutes left until he would inhale sweet, untainted oxygen.
Bright blue eyes blinked in confusion.
He gasped.
So from all of the butts possible to grope, this certain molester chose to lay a hand on Seto's butt. The hand continued to grope, rougher and somewhat more daring, making the poor boy gasped in involuntary moans, making him screamed toward the sunset inside his mind—WHY THE HELL IT'S ME, GOOD GAWD THERE'S A LOT OF GIRLS HERE. WRY WRY. CRY.
But of course the molester didn't hear Seto's internal frustration and his victim was too humiliated to start yelling. Seto knew he was lacking masculinity, but he got a damn pride to be protected. A male being targeted by pervert, that was shameful, so he bit down the scream and tried to ignore the touches. Ten minutes more, ten minutes more. Endure endure endure.
Wait, he started to sound like a helpless heroine in soap opera.
The humiliation didn't stop. Seto tried in vain to move away, but the train was so full and many eyes were glaring hole at his fidgeting movements, completely bothered with Seto's desperate attempts to steal more room. If only those people had their butts as much abused.. maybe they would understand his urgent need of spaces. It was unfair, just unfair.
Just then, one finger was diving in between his round buttcheecks, poking his clothed butthole. The sudden sting electrified Seto and he was damn sure he would scream his lungs out until—
"Old man, stop this shit."
It stopped.
Seto turned his head, brilliant blue flashing with dangerous golden beneath purple hoodies. Someone had grabbed the molester's hand on his wrist, catching the culprit red-handed. A hearbeat passed, a fleeting glance, and Seto never felt so saved.
Like a damsell saved by her knight, that must be how this feeling defined.
This morning, Ren almost slapped a hearty good morning when she noticed her beloved redhead looking different on his seat. People would say he acted all the same; textbook on his hands, strawberry milk and half-eaten tuna rice balls for breakfast, thick-framed glasses on his nose and uniform so neat it almost perfect. But no, Ren would say something was off. Because being a bestfriend-with-benefit since they met, Ren could see everything past the outer shell. She could see his heart inside the ribcage, as easy as open book, eventhough Seto didn't wear his heart on his sleeves.
Her bestfriend was definitely out of character today.
Those brilliant blue eyes were dazed, his reading speed had decreased more than thirty percent, his tie slightly crooked and she swore for twenty buckets that there was something longing on his face. It was like—almost—
"—You're falling in love."
Ren mouthed the words without thinking. Those blue eyes blinked, one, two times, and he was surprised to see his pretty friend standing in front of him, her arms crossing and green mini skirt fluttering, "What? Ren? You're here?"
Raising to fifty buckets. She was damn sure now. Seto never daydreaming, he said it was unproductive.
"You're falling in love." said her, the word love strongly emphasized.
"You. God, Seto, it's not hard to realize." Ren facepalmed. She knew Seto wasn't that innocent, he was more leaning toward... super dense.
Seto frowned, her misunderstanding had sunk down to his mind."Stop accusing me, I'm not falling in love with him." Her eyes went the size of saucers at the certain word.
"HIM? That's an amazing plot twist, Seto."
"Hey, I said it's not what you think!" he protested, the book flitting toward her, in which she had dodged it mimicking The Matrix. "I'm not falling in love, okay? He saved me, that's all."
Once Ren wanted to ask why Seto was lame enough to be saved by a male, but she dumped the question, because even Ren had her share of pity for his masculinity. So she said instead, in less mocking tone, "You sounds like a heroine in dorama. Captivated by a stranger who had saved her."
"Stop it, okay? I know. I, I just—" He scratched his head. "— I couldn't say thank you yesterday. It bothers me."
Flashbacks flashed and the scenery shifted. Seto, the golden-eyed savior, and carnival of shadows inside the train, all washed in different shades of sepia, movements went slower. When he wanted to give proper thank you, the train just had to stop. People inside the compartment were shifting in different blurs, some eager to be in and some eager to be out. Seto was dragged away to opposite direction when the young man who saved him walked out from the train. Just like that.
No thank you for saving me, no what is your name. No anything.
He didn't even sure how his savior looks like. Seto tried to recollect the details; purple hoodies, black hairbangs, perfect faceline. At least one foot taller than him. Face half hidden in shadow. A compressed frown.
A glimpse of golden eyes, which had these nostalgic vibes on their yellow irises, making silver droplets seeping on his white-cream skin.
They were nothing but a pair of strangers meeting in the train, but those yellow eyes were painfully familiar.
"This district is shit."
Two abandoned people held a meeting in an abandoned park, under the tree, hidden beneath the shadow. Crow had his purple hoodies up, protecting his identity from public. The biggest from the two, Sakutaro, was wearing a baseball jacket a size too small for him, a tiger head printed on the back, the unzipped jacket showing tight undershirt beneath. For once he looked neat, not shaggy like usual, in which Crow nodded in approval. His scarred face wasn't less scary, though.
"Define shit."
"It's unknown who's in the top. This town's hierarchy works too fuckin' complicated."
Crow was listening, despite looking utterly bored.
" Currently, there are three schools fighting over the position—Saitama, Aoyama, and Ryuzan. Still in stalemate until now."
"Sounds boring for me."
"I'm not finished, Crow. Those three are famous for being old rivals to each other. But now they're getting tired with this tug of war and trying new improvement. All of them at least have one backup for each."
Crow perked up. "You mean?"
"In this town, it's not only about Yankees. Riches and elitists have involvement too. They are like, what? Forming teams to compete for the highest position. Like this one school, Saitama, that comes in pair with private school Aozaka. The competition is getting heated because everyone try to perform alliances as many as possible. It sounds like politic."
"How about the others?"
"Usually they are either under the lead or vanished. Everyone is involved, directly or indirectly, willing or not willing. This place is fuckin' war field."
"Our chance to barge in?"
"Possibly, but unlikely. If we attack one of them, the others will take that as a chance. Our involvement only gives them benefits."
Crow yawned.
"Okay, okay, good work."
"Then what should we do?" Sakutaro accused his leader with a refined glare. After all, it was Crow who had this clever idea for spying.
"Get more information, Sakutaro. I want to know more about who leads in present. Who dominates the others most.
Who actually tops in this hierarchy."
"Gangs war?"
Her chopsticks danced in the air, as lively as her voice, "Yes, gangs war. It's getting pretty heated now."
Their class always bustling when it was time for lunch; chatters, foods, laughter, soda pop smile and sound of chopsticks. The boys playing guitar, sometimes off-tunes and missing some keys, while the girls gossiping in group, sometimes too giggly and noisy. Seto, for once, didn't have any book in hands, instead he had melon milk and a pack of tuna sandwiches for himself. Ren always brought lunch box from her house. It was colored candyfloss pink with sprinkles of white cherry blossoms. She did have a mother who prepared her lunch everyday, unlike Seto.
Seto only had a grandpa now.
Sometimes, as he saw the pink lunchbox and shiny chopsticks on her hands, or some homemade tempura stuffed inside the box, Seto couldn't help but flicker a little jealousy, to yearn what would it feel to have a mother again. But that was a small thing, a small peck that soon would begone, he was over with it after all.
Back to their conversation.
He bit down his sandwich, confusion twisting on his pretty features. Never once he thought that this town was a bloody war zone. On his eyes the days went as peaceful as ever. The sky outside was colored brilliant blue, the clouds all white with silver lines, the leaves shaded with tones of green and sunspot yellow. Boys joking, girls giggling. But under the pretty veil, there was a conflict going on.
It was weird for him, maybe because he was an outsider from this matter.
"I don't see any gangs war here."
"Duh, Seto. Go out from your tiny shell more often. If you—let's say, waltzing in the outskirt of this town, you'll see some brutal shows almost everyday. There are many low-level schools there, after all. Many Yankees, males and females."
Well, remind him to not ever take a walk to that place.
"Well, because we're living in the center of the town, that means we're saved?"
"Not really." Ren crossed her arms, her grapefruit bosoms raising upward, chopsticks in right hand. As she chewed an oily-looking, fat tempura, she continued with stuffed mouth, "There are news that schools in the center of this town are involved. Like Aozaka."
"What! But Aozaka is prestigious! No way they will drop themselves that low!"
Aozaka Private High, one of the best academic institutions. The dream of all nerds. Two months ago, an invitation from Aozaka had been sent to Seto as the result of him winning some science competitions, but he had it declined politely. Seto liked his current school, despite being less awesome.
She shrugged. "Well, why not? Even the perfect wants domination, I guess."
Seto had this 'I-dont-believe-it' all scribbled on his face, sandwiches on the table had long forgotten.
"...By the way, Seto, this reminds me of something."
There were vibes of urgency hanging on her words, making him uneasy. For once, playfulness on her face was nowhere to be found.
"You must be careful, okay? I hear that—"
She gave a cautious look as she lunged forward, their faces almost met in inches, silver tresses fluttering in the air.
"—some guys in Aozaka are chasing after you."
On the third day they met again in the same park, under the same tree. Only their outlines could be faintly seen under the tree shades. Sakutaro still wore his baseball jacket, albeit dirty, while Crow still had his hoodies up, now with stains on it, the brown splatters almost as suspicious as dried blood.
Sakutaro didn't ask why and Crow didn't tell how. They understood each other without words spoken. Well, sort of.
"So it's Aoyama who leads, huh?"
The big one nodded, sipping his beer from a can, eyes locking on his leader. Like usual, Crow appeared like he gave no shit on this matter, but Sakutaro read it otherwise. He always knew, because he was the only witness of how Crow growing up from an arrogant, bitter prince into a ruthless, cold king. He could even count how many times Crow must wash the blood on his hands.
Actually Crow didn't like the fact that Sakutaro had learned him well like an encyclopedia, but he let it justified for the sake of friendship.
"What will we do?"
"No clue, man."
Such a lie. Crow actually owned an idea on his mind, but he didn't share it now because it wasn't the time. Sakutaro could guess the idea, so he said nothing, just drinking his beer in silence, waiting patiently for something to burst.
His king was planning to be engaged in the battle, dragging Ueda all along into this warzone.
Just a matter of time for himself to be implicated on this shit.
Once, when he was in the class, Seto stole a glance out of the window, to the pattern of sky up there and yellow spots on the green leaves.
When his mind tried to relax, those golden eyes would haunt back, never want to let go. It bothered him so much, because he was sure he had seen those yellow eyes shining brighter than a sun, somewhere in a day that was forgotten. Taken in sepia-colored photograph that was lost. But the more he tried to remember, the more his memories were blown away.
Like an old saying, maybe the owner of those golden eyes had left a footprint ages ago, placing a proof of existence somewhere inside his heart, but Seto didn't know which one from the scattering footprints. He couldn't remember.
AN: Yeah, Seto doesn't remember Crow.
I'm sorry that they are lacking interactions, but it's for a buildup. Originally Seto is more molested XD But I decided not. That poor boy.
Review? Your reviews are my only reason to update guys.

Well I said I would let you guys know by Monday, but I decided to let ya'll know today. Due to lack of votes, a story still won. I got very few pms, voting for one, and here it is! The first chapter to What Would You Do! Enjoy!
I don't own Frozen or the characters and yadda yadda yadaa...
Oh! Also, in this story, different characters from Disney will be included into the story but our main two characters are Anna and Elsa. :)
Summary:-Multi-chapter fic based on the song. Modern. Anna and Elsa were good friends when they were in school. During their summer after their freshman year though, Anna suddenly disappears along with her sister, Rapunzel, and leaves no clue to what could have happened to them. Elsa is broken but pushes through the years without her best friend. She made it to college but what happens when Elsa bumps into Anna at a party, and finds out that Anna is now working as a stripper and with a child? Will Anna run away? or will she let Elsa in and let her help? What if Elsa doesn't want to help because Anna left her with no explanation? Will she just push Anna away if the girl asks for help? Dark themes, trigger warnings. Elsanna!
Chapter One
'What in the world am I doing here?' thought Elsa, as she stepped into the large house, where a wild party was being held at. Sure, she's gone to a few parties every now and then with her fellow friends, but never in her life had she gone to a party wild enough with so much alcohol, drugs, and also, strippers. How did she get talked to going to this wild party? "Elsa! Come on girl! We need to start this party with a couple of drinks!" She heard her friend yell. 'Oh that's right... Merida made me come...' She thought.
Elsa was planning to call it a day and go to bed early after a long day at the library, studying for her finals. She was already home, bath ready, when her phone began to ring. She groaned at the coincidence but still went to answer it. "Hel-" "Are you ready?! I'm picking you up in about an hour! Jane just called me about this crazy party that's in Dunbroch's frat party! We're going so you better be ready when I get there!" The call ended in a click, leaving her no room to respond back. "Well so much for having a relaxing night." Elsa sighed. She turned the bath into a fifteen minute shower, and quickly pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans, with a crystal-blue, off-the-shoulder blouse, and white flats. She decided to put her hair in a left side braid, and swisps of her bangs slicked back on top of her head. She decided to go with a light purple eye shadow and put light eyeliner and mascara. Just as she was doing the final touches to, she heard a knock at her door. "Elsa open up! Let's go! Peter's already waiting downstairs for us!" Elsa sighed and grabbed her phone and wallet, sticking them in her pocket, not bothering with a purse or clutch. "Fine... let's just get this night over with." She sighed.
Elsa chuckled and shook her head as she followed her ginger friend. "I'm going Merida. Jesus! We haven't even had a drink and you're already this energized." Merida only waved her off with a giggle and gave her a cup that was already dripping, surely enough, with a bunch of alcohol mixed in. Elsa took the cup and both girls and Peter walked through and out to the large backyard, where another DJ was playing more music, and where they found more of their friends: Jane, Tarzan, and Shang.
"Where's the rest of the gang?" Merida asked, finished her drink already and dancing to the music. Tarzan gave her a shrug while Shang decided to ignore her. Jane sighed and answered, "Aurora and Belle said they were on their way with Phillips. Mulan, Cinderella, Hercules, and Mulan said they weren't coming." Merida spit her drink and looked at Jane in disbelief. "Hey!" Elsa cried when she felt Merida spit the drink on her.
Merida ignored her cry and exclaimed, "What?! Why?! Do they not realize this is our last party as college students!? We're graduating next week for God's sakes!"
"Yeah but they heard this was going to be the biggest party ever. Like, with the all out drinks, drugs, sex, and not to mention strippers." Jane answered. "And if I would have known about the drugs and strippers, I so would have not agreed to come... although there wasn't much agreeing in the first place." Elsa added. Merida only rolled her eyes and grabbed another drink and downed it. "Now if you will all excuse me, I think I have to go freshen up a bit since someone decided to spit their drink on me." Elsa dead panned. Merida bowed and said, "Of course, your highness." earning a few chuckles from her friends.
She made her way back into the house and into a bathroom and begun to scrub at her jeans, where there was a wet stain on her thigh. When she felt it was cleaner, she walked out of the bathroom and continued scrubbing at her jeans. Too busy looking down and mumbling, she failed to notice someone standing before her that she bumped into them. "Well, if you wanted a little bit of action, instead of just bumping into me, all you had to do was ask." said a husky voice. Elsa's cheeks flushed as she finally looked at who she bumped into. "Oh no! I'm so sorry! I wasn't trying to make you do anything! I just wasn't looking where I was going and bumped into-" She was interrupted by a soft finger on her lips. "Woah their sweet cheeks. Calm down! I'm only teasing. I am good at that after all. I'm a stripper." The young woman said with a wink. Elsa felt her face get hot red all of a sudden and shook her head frantically. "No! I'm really sorry!" Elsa tried again.
"It's okay hot stuff. Tell you what, I'll give you a little preview of what I can do for you, if you give me a few bucks. "said the stripper. Before Elsa could ramble on anything else, she heard a soft yet bubbly and beautiful voice. "Megara! Hans said you're needed out in the back. I'll take care of this one if she hasn't paid you. I really don't want to go out there with those grimy guys." Megara faked a pout and looked at the other girl who was walking towards them behind Elsa. "Aw phooey... why do you always get the good ones?" She asked and walked away.
Elsa turned to look at the girl who saved her from embarrassing herself much more and couldn't help but stare at the young woman. She felt a wave of familiarity at the young woman's strawberry blonde hair with a platinum blonde streak, like Elsa's hair. She looked at the freckles that traveled down her face into her neck, and lower. What made her catch her breath though was when she finally saw the glittering blue eyes. Both girls' eyes grew wide for a second before they broke contact. "So, did you already pay for Megara's services or would you like someone else?" The strawberry blonde asked. Elsa narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized the girl before her. She was slightly taller than her, and although Elsa had more developed curves than the girl, she still had a body that definitely made heads turn. Elsa looked back at the girl's familiar eyes when it finally hit her. 'Anna... this is my Anna...' she thought. "Soooo is there any type of service you want? I'm open for ladies." Elsa shook her heads and felt her cheeks grow hot again.
"Can we go outside for a bit? It's too loud and crowded here." Anna nodded and followed Elsa. They went out through the front and to the front gate, where only a few people were around doing God knows that. Once they reached the gate, Elsa spun around and immediately pulled the girl in for a hug. "Anna..." She choked out. Anna was taken back but being able to hear the other girl's voice, and how she said her name, she couldn't help but feel like she knew the girl. "I... I'm sorry but do I know you? How do you know my name?" She asked.
Elsa pulled away with a hurt look on her face. 'Does she really not remember who I am? It has been a while...' She thought. She could see the struggle in Anna's face as she tried to figure out who this was. After a while and Anna still couldn't figure it out, Elsa took a deep breath before saying, "It's me, Anna... Elsa..."
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnndddd that's chapter one! Should I continue or not? Follow and review if you'd like for me to continue. :) Maybe i'll update again this week if I see people want me to continue. :)

Bluewater appoints Pancentric
The UK's top retail destination, Bluewater, has appointed Pancentric as their new digital agency following a three way pitch.

Fending off spam before it reaches your filter
Sometimes the best way to keep spam out of your mailbox is to keep the spammers from getting your address.
If you must publish your email address online, spammers will quickly flood your inbox with junk. Filtering the incoming mess requires CPU power, and you risk losing legitimate messages. Most of the work on spam protection has concentrated on recognizing and filtering spam messages as they arrive. Another approach, however, is to convince spammers to leave your address alone in the first place.

However, after I did more research and read literature about a lack of a cure for Crohns disease, and potential complications, I was upset and demoralized; it got to the point where I couldnt even work.
Next Page: Im applying to graduate schoolIm applying to graduate school
Now, Im not taking any medication for Crohns. Im still healing from the surgery in December and I have an appointment with a new gastroenterologist. Id like to try Remicade, a drug that helps control inflammation. I have researched it a lot and think its worth it (there is a risk of lymphoma, according to the manufacturer).

BBB Tip of the Week
The Washington state attorney general, along with 11 others, sued U.S. Fidelis for deceptive solicitations, illegal telemarketing, robocalls and misleading TV ads for their vehicle service contracts.
A $9.3 million settlement has been reached to pay about 19,000 people.
Consumers who are eligible will receive at least $250 in compensation. Claim forms were mailed to all eligible consumers, and 76 Washington residents have received checks. Consumers who have moved or otherwise did not receive the settlement claim information can still file a claim through December 2014. Thousands still may be eligible to receive a check from the settlement.
If you have questions about the settlement or think you might be eligible to make a claim, you can call Garden City Group at (877) 691-8477 or visit the settlement website at www.usfbankruptcy.com.
Not all businesses offering automobile service contracts use deceptive practices. And for some people, purchasing a service contract makes financial sense. It is important to be aware that not all automobile service contracts are the same. Even bumper-to-bumper contracts don't cover every component in your car.
If you are looking to purchase an automobile service contract, the Better Business Bureau offers the following tips:
• Get a copy of the contract in writing before purchasing and read it carefully.
• Research the most common repairs for your vehicle and the typical cost. According to experts, exclusionary automotive service contracts that list what is not covered are best.
• Understand the difference between a vehicle service contract and a vehicle protection product warranty. Vehicle protection products are those installed in your vehicle to prevent loss or damage and their warranties are usually very specific in what is covered.
Check to see if the business providing contract services is registered with the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner and compliant with state laws at www.insurance.wa.gov/ consumertoolkit/search.aspx. You can also check out the company at www.bbb.org.
For more tips you can trust, visit the BBB blog at www.bbb.org/blog or call (509) 455-4200.

Serbia's prime minister gave Slobodan Milosevic to The Hague to be tried for war crimes even though doing so was technically illegal; the prime minister of Yugoslavia resigned in protest. The International Court of Justice rebuked the United States for executing two German brothers in 1999 without following established international law, which required the German consulate to be notified of the men's arrest and conviction. American and British warplanes bombed Iraq again, killing three people. Dissidents from the Ivory Coast filed suit against President Laurent Gbagbo in Belgium, whose courts, oddly enough, have universal jurisdiction in crimes against humanity. Ethnic violence broke out in the central Nigerian state of Nasarawa. United States troops intervened in the Macedonian conflict by escorting several hundred rebels out of a Macedonian town; riots ensued in Skopje, the capital, and an American diplomat was shot, apparently by accident, by a Macedonian soldier. A mob of students in Paterson, New Jersey, beat a homeless drunk to death with his own beer bottle. Sweden, whose police recently shot unarmed protesters with live ammunition, ratified the International Criminal Court. Uganda held parliamentary elections; one candidate fired a gun into a crowd of opponents; the bodyguard of another candidate killed a protester and was lynched by an outraged mob. Poles started getting checks from Germany to make up for having been enslaved by the Nazis. Wang Guoqi, a former Chinese army doctor, testified before Congress that he removed corneas, skin, and other body parts from executed prisoners; in one case, Wang said, he was forced to remove the skin from a man who was still breathing. Wang currently works in a restaurant in New Jersey.
Vice President Dick Cheney received a pacemaker to regulate his heartbeat. Vladimiro Montesinos, formerly Peru's answer to Rasputin, was arrested in Venezuela, having become a liability to Hugo Ch�vez, and was sent home in shackles to face a life sentence for arms trafficking, money laundering, death-squad activities, torture, arms kickbacks, and bribery. President Vicente Fox of Mexico accepted the resignation of an old friend who took responsibility for the purchase of $400 towels, $1,500 sheets, and $17,000 electric curtains for the presidential palace. President Abdurrahman Wahid of Indonesia said he would declare a state of emergency and use the military to prevent parliament from removing him from office; the military suggested that it would do no such thing. Secretary of State Colin Powell stood next to Yasir Arafat and endorsed the idea of international observers to help enforce a cease-fire with Israel; later, standing next to Ariel Sharon, Powell clarified his previous statement, which had seemed clear enough, and said he did not support "some outside group of forces coming in." Powell's trip also included a visit to Jordan, where King Abdullah let him drive at the "king's speed limit" in his custom silver BMW convertible. New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani was said to be spending his nights at the apartment of a Queens car dealer as he considered moving out of Gracie Mansion to get away from his wife. Jack Lemmon died. A New Orleans woman was charged with ten counts of attempted murder after an argument over an ugly baby; the woman threw fuel on ten people, three generations of one family (including two infants), and tried to set them on fire. Her match failed to light. Police in Aachen, Germany, were called in to quell a domestic dispute that arose after a man visited a brothel and discovered his wife working there. Researchers found that Italian mothers are the most anxious mothers in Europe. A three-year-old Italian boy was fined for peeing on a tree in a park in Rome; the traumatized boy, fearing another arrest, was said to be having a difficult time going potty.
A giant cloud of dust from the Sahara blew across the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, reducing air quality and visibility in Texas. The Bush Administration admitted that the federal budget surplus might just disappear. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld announced that he would ask Congress to retire the MX missile, also known as the "Peacekeeper." Bob Dole had an aneurysm. A movement was afoot in North Dakota to change the state's name to "Dakota" because of fears that the word "north" was giving people the wrong idea. A large hippopotamus killed a security guard on a golf course in Johannesburg, South Africa. Scientists found that dairy cows produced more milk while listening to REM's "Everybody Hurts" or the Pastoral Symphony by Beethoven than when listening to "Back in the USSR" by the Beatles or Wonderstuff's "Size of a Cow."

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of performance degradation caused by the interchannel crosstalk of a previously proposed scheme for a super-dense wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmitter based on wavelength-swept light. In the theoretical study, we calculate the relationship between the optical filter bandwidth, the wavelength sweep range, and the power penalty based on an approximate modeling process. And we employ the results to clarify the number of channels that can be achieved without a serious power penalty for use as a practical criterion when the wavelength sweep range is given. Furthermore, we describe experiments on multichannel 100 Mb/s and 1.0 Gb/s WDM signal generation and selective detection using a fiber Bragg grating filter with a 3-dB bandwidth of 10.5 GHz. The results confirm that the theoretical and the experimental results agree well when the spectral broadening induced by data modulation is not very large.

Many football fans in our state already know that big cable companies are taking advantage of consumers and preventing them from watching their favorite football teams.
How do they know this? Because they are being charged extra for the NFL Network or are blocked from watching the channel altogether. Instead of carrying popular channels like the NFL Network, some cable companies are loading their schedules with cable-owned channels like Versus and the Golf Network, claiming that the NFL Network is just a niche market. Tell that to the 222 million Americans who watched NFL football last season.
The good news is there's a way to resolve these disputes through arbitration so fans can see the programs they want. The FAN (Fair Access to Networks) Act would establish a fast, fair and cheap process so cable companies doing business in our state can't discriminate against channels like NFL Network and hurt consumers in the process. I hope my state representatives will stand up for consumers and football fans by supporting this common-sense solution. You can let your elected officials know you support the FAN Act by visiting www.iwantmynfl.com.

The most expensive problems are those that customers or interested third parties discover. If companies try to sweep them "under the rug," or invest resources to deliberately deceive the public, there is likely to be a big explosion as the pressure builds under that rug. This is what has happened to VW.
VW, a top-selling automaker known for its German engineering, clean-diesel technology and strong market share since 1937, cheated emissions testing using software in 11 million vehicles with small diesel engines worldwide. By recognizing when the vehicles were undergoing emissions testing, performance was modified by the software.

When you think of your own death, one of the first things that comes to your mind is what will happen to your loved ones. You can breathe a little easier knowing that your loved ones will be financially taken care of if you have life insurance. That is why it is so important that you pick a life insurance that will suit the needs of your loved ones. Read this article for advice and suggestions on how to pick the right life insurance policy for you.
When creating a life insurance policy, never name your minor children as the beneficiary. The flaw in this plan is that minor children cannot inherit money, so it is handled by a custodian appointed by the state or the insurance company. This custodian might not be the surviving parent. In addition, placing your child as the beneficiary allows them access to the full fund as soon as they turn 18.
Be the early bird when it comes to purchasing cheap life insurance. One way to save money on life insurance is to purchase it early in life while one is still in good health. Insurance premiums can be quite high for those who wait too late or until health problems are emerging.
It is important to know that you have 30 days to look at and understand your life insurance. This way, if you decide that this is not the right plan for you, you are able to cancel your policy and most of the time, you can even get your premium back.
Life insurance comes in many different variations that can fit just about any budget. Once you know the amount of coverage you need, decide whether you want insurance that provides permanent coverage, or just need term insurance to cover you until large expenses are paid off. Once debts are gone and the kids move out, you may decide to self-insure and won't need life insurance coverage anymore.
When choosing life insurance policies, make sure you understand the difference between term and permanent life insurance. Term insurance is good for a set period – once it expires – the insured does not receive benefits. Permanent insurance, while more expensive, accumulates cash value and is guaranteed to stay in force, as long as the policy payments continue.
Many life insurance brokers and agents get paid through commission. It is therefore to their benefit to sell you the most expensive package they can with as many riders as possible. Because of this, before agreeing to a specific life insurance policy, you should get a second opinion. Make sure everything included is something that you actually need!
You need to know what your debts are before getting life insurance. In order to find out home much life insurance coverage you need you first have to know the amount of your debts and how much your funeral will cost. Your life insurance policy needs to be higher than that amount.
To save some money on life insurance, pay your premiums one time a year. Many life insurance companies will charge you a little less because there usually is some type of small fee to receive the monthly bills. Just make sure you only do this if you can afford it.
You have a lot of options when it comes to the type of life insurance you will purchase. Depending on your age, your level of coverage needed and your budget, you will need to have your insurance agent or representative explain these to you in detail. Make sure to ask lots of questions, don't just take their word for it.
To make sure your family is not left with your final expenses, purchase appropriate life insurance coverage. Funeral expenses can mount quickly and should you die unexpectedly, your family could be facing significant expenses for your funeral or medical expenses. Life insurance not only provides long-term stability for your family, but also short-term reassurance.
In conclusion, most people wonder about what will happen to their loved ones when they die. If you have life insurance, you can rest easier, knowing that at least they will be financially stable. Using the advice above will help you determine which life insurance will be the best for your family, should you pass away.
