What are the requirements?
Application or supervision? ordering supplies? character design? appliance fabrication? or all of the above?
is there a budget? is there an existing crew?
Don't you think those questions would be answered in an interview or in a direct inqury via e-mail or a phone conversation rather that sticking them out on the net ? When we are looking for people I, after the initial contact will tell the person here is what we are looking for and here is what the show will consist of - I then tell them to develope a list of what they need and let me take a look at it, then I can see if they are just getting a Christmas list together or if they are actully getting supplies based on show need . Very nice portfolio Michael

Not necessarily,
I am currently bidding on make up services to a Halloween event at a theme park in Hong Kong and I have yet to meet them face to face. It was all conducted by Invitation to bid, Scope of the work and proposals. In fact they have a responsibility to have transparency in their bidding since it's government regulated.
It has to do with the way the company chooses to operate and who they want to attract. It also has to do with how established the event is. Usually the more established the event the more continuity they like to retain from previous years. So they can controll costs and keep a successfull "look" to the production from prior years. Especially with featured characters.
This park in HK on the other hand is looking for a new look.... a more western event. butt ugly dirty rotten zombie look rather than the asian demon gargoyle look.
Being a manufacturer as well as an artist I can offer a wide variety of choices to a client. I really didn't think that learning a bit more about what they were looking for would hurt anyone. I would have thought that the more info about the position would result in increased response and intrest rather than less.
As the original Make up services contractor for Universal's Halloween Horror Nights first 4 years I was responsible for 5 venues and 300 actors in make up all within 2 hours. This was an every night, month long event. That requires management as opposed to supervision or execution. The theme park in Hong Kong is on the same scale. and with all due respect many owners perceived scope may in fact exceede their needs due to their perspective and proximity to the event. Oftentimes there is also ambiguity with regards to the needs and requirements. Having developed many innovative make up products I was able to solve specific problems through product development while saving the producer money and time. "Better living through chemistry"
You are right that these questions can be answered in a direct conversation but it also gives an opportunity to respond "thanks but the position is filled". Also from a business standpoint I have very little to loose by asking. They may not choose me to provide services but They or te one they choose may decide (wisely so) to use my products and the distance of the internet allows for a more gracious decline rather than being put on the spot by a phone call.
I'm happy to see that I evoked intrest and discussion in what was simply a job posting.

Brief description: Taipei, the biggest city of Taiwan, has been selected to be the host of the 21st Summer Deaflympics. Opening Date: 5 Sept. 2009 Closing Date: 15 Sept. 2009
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com

About me
The Summer and Winter Deaflympics are among the world's fastest growing sports events. More than 3,200 deaf athletes and officials from 67 nations participated in the 20th Summer Deaflympics in Melbourne, Australia, in January 2005. Over 600 athletes and officials participated in the 16th Winter Deaflympics in Salt Lake City, United States in February 2007.
The games are built on 80 years of tradition. Organized since 1924 by the Comité International des Sports des Sourds, CISS (The International Committee of Sports for the Deaf), the first Summer Deaflympics were held in Paris. Winter Deaflympics were added in 1949. The Summer and Winter Deaflympics are sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee, IOC.
The need for separate games for deaf athletes is not just evident in the numbers of participants. Deaf athletes are distinguished from all others in their special communication needs on the sports field, as well as in the social interaction that is an equally vital part of the games.
Taipei, the biggest city of Taiwan, has been selected to be the host of the 21st Summer Deaflympics. In the meanwhile, this is the milestone that the first Summer Deaflympics to be held in Asia. For this breaking point, Taipei City Government reconstructs the forty-year-old stadium and other venues to make their best effort to fit the standards.
Judo, Karate, and Taekwondo have been added in the Deaflympic sports competition program.
According to the preliminary received in 1 August 2008, there will be 17 sports, 20 disciplines, and 182 events.
The sports will offer at the 21st Summer Deaflympics are held in the disciplines of Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Bowling, Cycling Road, Football, Karate, Handball, Judo, Orienteering, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Volleyball, Water Polo, Wrestling Freestyle and Wrestling Greco-Roman.

Two students arrested at Indy middle school
Police have arrested two students at an Indianapolis middle school, one accused of attacking staff members and another who allegedly brought a knife to school.
Police in the Indianapolis enclave of Lawrence say one 13-year-old boy lunged at his teacher and head-butted him following an argument Friday at Fall Creek Valley Middle School. The Indianapolis Star reports the boy then shoved the school principal. Security officers and the teacher later calmed the boy down.
Another 13-year-old was arrested after he alleged bragged about bringing a knife to school and threatened to cut other students.
Both students have been placed in juvenile detention.

Mezzo-Sopranos Specialize in Opera's Meatier, Darker Roles
Saturday, March 09, 2013
Mezzo-sopranos role in opera are the witches, bitches and britches. Think Ulrica in A Masked Ball, Eboli in Don Carlo and Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro. They can also be the soprano's best gal pal, her faithful confident — and sometimes, her competition.
If tenors and sopranos can be demanding and high strung, mezzo-sopranos tend to be more grounded.
Today we ask what makes a mezzo a mezzo, straight from two experts on the subject: Marilyn Horne and her special guest Susan Graham.
But, Parterre Box's James Jorden says when you mix a mezzo with a soprano, the results can be explosive! ("Two divas Faustina Bordoni and Francesca Cuzzoni got into a wig-pulling cat fight right there on stage.")
From this week's newscast: Are opera and ballet elitist? This Monday, the Royal Opera House Covent Garden and the Telegraph newspaper in London will be hosting a debate, streamed live on the Internet, which will look at this question. The webcast can be viewed here.

In and out in L.A.
The United Nations conference on population this September in Cairo, already marred by Vatican meddling (including warnings to Islamic nations that outside family planning services will lead to Westernization; see "Still ticking," March/April 1993, and "The bomb ticks on," Jan./Feb. 1994), will no doubt focus on populous and less-developed nations like China and India. But as the new book (and upcoming documentary) "World War III" details, the U.S. should hardly feel smug: Teens in Los Angeles have one of the highest birthrates of teens anywhere in the world. California's birthrate in 1990 was 84.6 per thousand, vs. 21 per thousand in China; 31 in India. In 1991, Population Action International included the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Haiti, and the U.S. as among the world's least progressive countries in expanding access to family planning services.

Photo Release -- Micron Announces First 2.5-inch PCIe Enterprise SSD
(March 06, 2012)
BOISE, Idaho, March 6, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU), one of the world's leading providers of NAND Flash and advanced solid-state storage solutions, today announced that it has developed a 2.5-inch enterprise solid-state drive (SSD) based on a PCIe interface. The solution combines a high-performance PCIe interface with a hot-swappable 2.5-inch form factor that creates new options for enterprise server performance scalability and serviceability.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=11900
Because the 2.5-inch form factor allows PCIe SSDs to be integrated into the front end of the server (like traditional data storage drives), customers can easily service the drive or scale performance — without ever powering down the server.
The new solution has been selected as a key storage device in Dell's PowerEdge 12th generation servers. These servers use innovative, front-accessible backplane designs that accommodate 2.5-inch SATA, SAS, and PCIe devices, allowing the customer to choose the appropriate combination of data storage and caching devices to optimize performance and storage to suit their needs. Customers can easily configure their solutions by hot-swapping PCIe devices without powering down the server — a requirement with existing PCIe card solutions.
"We're pleased with the results of our strategic collaboration with Micron to co-develop this innovative new form factor for our Express Flash solutions," said Brian Payne, Executive Director of Server Solutions at Dell. "Their knowledge in Flash design and SSD technology helped Dell create scalable high performance servers to handle demanding workloads and latency sensitive applications."
"The 2.5-inch PCIe SSD is a great example of how the Micron team has leveraged our NAND expertise and IP — the fundamental building blocks of SSDs — to develop high-performance, high-reliability enterprise storage solutions," said Glen Hawk, Micron Vice President of NAND Solutions. "Being selected as a key partner to Dell illustrates an important success in our ongoing strategy to transform leading-edge NAND technology into value-add enterprise solutions."
Both Micron and Dell are helping drive adoption of this interface through their membership in the SSD Form Factor Working Group (ssdformfactor.org). The working group is a broad industry effort to simplify the adoption and integration of PCIe storage drives, enabling breakthrough storage performance to reach broader audiences.
The new platform leverages Micron's P320h PCIe SSD design and is based on a custom-developed Micron controller, creating a vertically-integrated solution with leading-edge PCIe SSD performance. The 2.5-inch PCIe SSD is part of a full portfolio of enterprise-focused NAND components and SSDs, and it complements the P320h HHHL card form factor, providing Micron with multiple avenues to deliver the high-performance, high-reliability storage solutions required by demanding cloud applications like video streaming and virtual networks.
Micron is currently in production with the P320h HHHL card and is sampling the 2.5-inch PCIe solution to interested customers.

X MINNEAPOLIS: Asdrubal Cabrera didn't have to wait until Friday to be activated from the disabled list.
Because of minor injuries to outfielders Michael Brantley and Austin Kearns, the Indians phoned Cabrera at 11 this morning and told him to get on the first plane to the Twins Cities from Akron, where he was completing a rehabilitation assignment with the Aeros.
When asked if a home run hit by Cabrera Monday night sent a message, manager Manny Acta said, ""No, a couple of banged up players sent a message.''
Acta said that all reports indicate Cabrera is ready to resume his duties as the everyday Tribe shortstop. He has been recovering form a fractured bone in his forearm for two months.
In Cabrera's absence, rookie Jason Donald has been playing short. He will now move to second, displacing Jayson Nix, who has been the regular second baseman for three weeks, since he was claimed off waivers from the White Sox. Nix will move to the bench as the utility infielder. Most of his experience has been at second and third, but Acta said he also can play shortstop.
But tonight and probably tomorrow, Nix will be in left field, because of the injuries to Brantley and Kearns.
""We know he can play the outfield,'' Acta said. ""He played there this year. Of course, we talked to him today. He said, "No problem.' ''
Nix said he has only started one game in the outfield since signing a professional contract.
""I started once for the White Sox last year,'' he said. ""I think I might have gone in once during a game. Other than that I never played out there, and that includes the minors.''

What began for Sonya Hill as an endeavor to inspire her two children to enjoy reading turned into a novel set in Hodgenville.
Cody Warren helped his daughter, 3-year-old Kaylee Mae, glue a tail on an Easter bunny cutout during Thursday's Wee Time preschool program at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School. About 30 children attended the final session of the school year but they were joined by several other students in the KHIC (Kindergarten Here I Come) program.
To see Charles Butler and his infectious, sometimes mischievous, grin you would never know he is battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia. But Charles is a survivor and he knows he is among the fortunate ones.
Persuaded by a part-time farm hand working on the family grain and dairy farm, Dale Dobson, now safety coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, joined the LaRue County Volunteer Fire Department. "Brad Miller was his name," said Dobson. "He would always say, 'come on man, join ... you'd really like doing this at night,' so in February 1989 I finally did."
Congratulations to all the participants in the 4-H Poetry Contest. Participants are to be commended for their efforts. Eighty-three poems were entered and judged.
The poems were divided into two age groups for judging. Junior division participants are ages 9-13 and the senior age division includes 14-18 year olds.
The top 8 junior poems and the top 4 senior poems will advance to the District competition.
These poems will also be published in the District 4-H Poetry Book. All winners will receive a copy of the poetry book.
Several LaRue County firefighters attended the 49th annual Dixie Fire School in Elizabethtown this weekend. The fire school held at the Elizabethtown Community and Technical College campus, had 805 people pre-registered for 2012 classes – a far cry from the 60 who attended the few classes offered in 1963.
"The easy part about cancer is being a survivor. The hard part is watching others go through it and not make it." Those are the words of Susan Holt, co-captain of LaRue County Relay for Life's Janet's Angels team. The team, which has formerly been known as the "Tiki Hut Healers," formed in 1997 in support of then 13-year-old Valerie Holt. Valerie was battling Wilms tumor.
Years of hard work and volunteerism are paying off for a LaRue County woman as she graduates with a specialized degree from Western Kentucky University. Ashley McWaters has become the first person in an eight-county span, known as Area 5 State Fire and Rescue Training District, to graduate with a bachelor's degree in systems management fire administration.
When Cassandra "Cassie" Hornback was a little girl, she enjoyed "exploring" her backyard in Sonora with her grandmother. Her "Mammaw," Norma Jean Rector, passed away last October and Hornback had the chance to go through some of her possessions. She was amazed at the treasures her Mammaw had saved from their adventures. The odd-shaped rocks and fossils that caught the eye of a little girl were a foreshadowing of Hornback's current love: geology.
For Eli Whitlock, a cancer diagnosis led him to one of the healthiest times in his life. The 25-year-old Magnolia resident lost more than 100 pounds after deciding to change his lifestyle after receiving a cancer diagnosis four years ago. Whitlock was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the summer of 2008 and had surgery days after learning of the disease. He didn't need any other treatment to become cancer-free and he felt he "got off pretty lucky with that," he said.
Hazel Denham has learned in her 70 years of hairdressing experience that customers tend to love the styles they wore when they were young.
She is no exception with her careful posture, crossed legs and simple but neat blouse and dress pants. Her favorite hairstyle is from the 1930s – a smooth permanent press associated with early-20th century glamour.
The 91-year-old Hodgenville resident has seen the death and resurgence of many looks, including the French twist and the page boy, since she saved for her first permanent wave machine in the 1930s.
When Hazel Denham walked into a beauty salon in Glasgow for her first-ever permanent as a sophomore at Temple Hill High School, she knew then and there what she wanted as a career.
"There was just something about the friendliness in the shop, the interesting way the operator fixed not only mine but others' hair, I just felt I had a knack for it, and from that day I decided to be a beautician."
Her career prediction proved to be accurate as she has styled hair at Hodgenville's Powder Puff for 61 years and has owned it for over 55 years.

How does it feel to be 100?
December 2011 marked another milestone in American history as the last U.S. combat troops withdrew from Iraq, ending nine years of fighting that saw over 4,000 American fatalities.
Vanessa McFarland is thankful to be alive, and in her opinion, it is because of the free services offered to her through the Community Health Clinic of Hardin and LaRue Counties. McFarland, who is battling ailments including type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and thyroid issues, began going to the clinic about six years ago. With no health insurance, little income and the need for treatment of her chronic conditions, a friend recommended she schedule an appointment at the community clinic.

About two weeks ago, I had one of those experiences runners often fear but rarely encounter. While on my normal loop with a friend, we came upon a man with two dogs on the side of the bike path. As we approached, one of the dogs let out a little growl, so we edged around to the other side of the path to avoid it. As we passed, the dog ran after me, lunged, and sunk his teeth into the back of my thigh. I was shocked and shaken and even had myself a nice little cry. After getting my leg cleaned up in the closest bathroom, I went back and located the owner, who denied the dog ever having had such encounters before. He also assured me the dog was current with all of its shots. I decided to get his information anyway. This man lives in a neighborhood that is FULL of little kids and the dog bit me right at eye level on a toddler. I thought I had to do the neighborhood a service by contacting the police. Soon after getting off the phone with the officer, I got a call back telling me that the dog actually had a history of biting (3 times!!) and was not vaccinated. Needless to say, I opted to have the officer fine them for a vicious dog. The dog was also quarantined for 10 days to make sure it didn't have any signs of rabies. As far as I know, the dog was returned to his owners after the quarantine. The whole experience was more traumatic than I thought it would be. I had to take a round of antibiotics, which I hate to do even while not pregnant. I had to flush the wound out by myself, which hurt really freaking bad, and I still have a nasty looking wound nearly 3 weeks after the incident. I will most definitely have a scar from it. While I'm not a dog owner, I would hope that my response would be very much more apologetic and concerned than this owner was and I would seriously consider putting the dog down. He was nonchalant about the whole thing and hardly apologized for his dog, who was completely unprovoked and not defending its own territory. OK, that's enough whining from me, but here are some photos for evidence:
Last weekend was wonderful. Mike, Selah, and I were all together the entire time and we just had so much fun. Saturday was beautiful, sunny, and unseasonably warm, so we headed to a winter crag for some climbing. Selah got to try out her new harness and I got to reawaken my arms after months of no climbing. We followed the climbing with a hot springs soak and yummy dinner. Sunday was supposed to be a little cooler, so we packed the car up and headed to the desert. We were also treated by Selah to a 7:30 wake up time! Incredible! We went to Colorado National Monument and when we got there, found out the road over the monument was closed, perfect for our roadbiking plans! We had the privilege of riding through the beautiful canyons and steep cliff faces with the road to ourselves. After riding for a few hours, we caught the last rays of sunlight and headed to the crags once again, this time to sandstone splitters. Here are some pics to document the weekend.
Selah enjoying her bar on the way to the crag. Check out the sweet shades on that babe!
Selah climbing in her chest harness. Since little kids don't have hips, they could theortically fall out of a harness if turned upside down. The chest harness makes this pretty much impossible and is much safer. It fits Selah juuuuust barely right now but should fit her until she grows hips!
While she does enjoy climbing, it is usually for a very short amount of time. She is however, easily entertained by rocks, dirt, flowers, sticks, spiders, waterbottles, and the like. She truly loves being outside and I am SO thankful for that!
Post ride hike to the crag in the beautiful evening light. Selah rode on Mike's shoulders most of the way, but wanted to get down and hike herself for the last part.
She tried climbing again and got about 10 feet off the ground, at which point she asked to swing and spin on the rope. She has no fear of hanging on the rope.
Selah and I have recently had two opportunities to take free mommy-daughter ski days. These days are so fun! While she still has basically zero control over the skis, she loves it and keeps asking to go.
My last big news? I officially gave my boss notice that I will not be returning to my job next year. As a family, we decided that I need to spend more time at home and less time stressing and working. These consistent 60 hour weeks are just too hard to maintain. To supplement our income, I have joined Rodan + Fields Dermatologists as an Independent Consultant. I am absolutely loving it, my business is thriving, and I can't wait to see where it takes our family. It is so nice to know that every hour I invest in this company is an hour I invest in myself. If you want the best skin of your life or could use some extra income, send me an email!

Have you ever had a night when you just couldn't fall asleep? It's a terrible feeling. Tossing and turning, watching the minutes click closer to dawn, dreading how tired you're going to be the next day—the more you try to sleep, the harder it gets.
Everyone has trouble sleeping sometimes for many different reasons, like stress and anxiety, or disorders like sleep apnea.
Some people are prescribed sleep aids called sedatives, a type of central nervous system depressant, to help them sleep. When used as prescribed—and only by the person they were prescribed for—sedatives are safe and effective for helping people sleep.
When abused to get high or even to get sleep, sleep aids can be dangerous, something most teens don't know. Abusing sleep aids can even be deadly if they are mixed with other substances like alcohol or certain allergy medications because they can slow heart rate and respiration.
Six Tips To Help You Sleep
If you have consistent trouble getting to sleep, talk to your doctor about it. Meanwhile, here are some things you can do to help you get the 9 hours of sleep you're supposed to have as a teen.
- Skip the caffeine. Drink a decaf latte or stick with water. Caffeine is a stimulant and can affect you for up to 24 hours and also cause you to wake often.
- Keep a routine. Prime your body for sleep—go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning.
- Exercise, but not before bed. Staying active can help you sleep better, but don't exercise within 3 hours of going to bed because it can actually wake you up.
- Block out the light. Cover your windows with heavy curtains or blackout shades. You might even try a sleep mask.
- Use your bed for sleep. It may be tempting to check Twitter or Facebook before you go to sleep, but it's best for your brain to associate your bed only with sleep, not socializing, work, or reading. Studies have shown that the computer screen's bright light can reduce your body's melatonin levels, which disrupts normal sleep cycles.
- Try some toast. Carbohydrates like bread, graham crackers, pretzels, and fruit can help make you feel warm and lead you to feel sleepy.
Do you have any ideas that work when you can't sleep? Tell us in the comments.
Do not use medicine to have a sleep, to have sleep from 6 to 8 hours is recommended, in morning go for a jogging if your routine is tough you get good sleep at night and if you are spending lazy day you did not get good sleep.

Greg Thompson
- On the Parliament site
- Wikipedia
Crucial Fact
- His favourite word was veterans.
Last in Parliament March 2011, as Conservative MP for New Brunswick Southwest (New Brunswick)
Won his last election, in 2008, with 58% of the vote.
Statements in the House
Veterans Affairs June 1st, 2009
Mr. Speaker, that very seldom happens in question period, but I thank all my colleagues for that standing ovation. When they are doing that, they are not saluting us; they are saluting our men and women in uniform. I thank every member for that.
With your permission, Mr. Speaker, and the co-operation of the House, I will introduce that bill following question period.
Veterans Affairs June 1st, 2009
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the chairman of veterans affairs committee and all members of committee on both sides of the House, who do such good work for our veterans and our men and women in uniform.
As the member indicated, it was the wrong thing to do in 1995, so we will restore those benefits to our allied veterans. It is the right thing to do for obvious reasons.
Veterans Affairs May 4th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member's concern because she has been with me on some of the things we are doing. She has been feet on the ground with me when we have announced some of our OSI clinics, which we have doubled across the country, and that is significant in itself. We are working very closely with our veterans organizations to identify these men and women.
One of the problems is that, by its nature, homelessness is very difficult to identify because many of these men and women suffer from alcoholism, drug dependency and other mental illnesses. We are there to help and will continue to do our best. I appreciate the member's interest.
Veterans Affairs April 30th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, I agree that Robert Shankland was a Canadian hero and served his country well, there is no question about that.
We do have a number of measures in place to ensure that medals of historical significance do not leave the country. But, at the end of the day, as other governments have grappled with this as well in terms of the selling of these medals, it is really a balancing of interests between the Canadian public and the rights of owners. We are cognizant of that and we will do our best.
Human Pathogens and Toxins Act April 24th, 2009
moved that Bill C-11, An Act to promote safety and security with respect to human pathogens and toxins, as amended, be concurred in.
Points of Order February 25th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, I stand by my words. My colleagues saw the actions as well, and I invite them to get on their feet. I would expect more from the member, because many of her members came forward. They saw what she did. We all know what she did. She should be ashamed. She should stand in her place to apologize. I laid it out yesterday. There is no need for me to repeat it, but I invite members and colleagues to stand in their places and describe exactly what she did.
Point of Order February 24th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, as you know, I have been around the House for a long time and not very often on my feet on a point of order, but what I witnessed during question period was unacceptable to every member of the House including, I am sure, members on the other side.
I am referring to the actions of the member of Parliament for St. Paul's. There is no question she was mimicking and mocking the Minister of State for Status of Women when the minister was responding to the question.
It was embarrassing to me. It was embarrassing to all colleagues on this side of the House and I am sure embarrassing to colleagues on the other side, although she did get a round of laughter from some of those surrounding her. However, it was totally unacceptable. It was demeaning to women. It was demeaning to anyone who enters public life and spends some time in this place. I have never seen that type of mocking ever on the floor of the House of Commons.
I believe the minister deserves an apology. All of us, who sat here watched that type of action, deserve an apology. It was totally unacceptable. It is beyond the pale and it is something I am ashamed to see being carried out on the floor of the House of Commons. I demand an apology from the member.
Veterans Affairs February 5th, 2009
Mr. Speaker, this is an important issue. The member is referencing benefits that were taken away by a previous government, a Liberal government.
We are committed to that and we have told the veterans community that we will honour that commitment.
The interesting thing is that for all we have done for veterans, and I think the list is pretty long for the three years that we have been here, the NDP members have stood in their place and voted against every one of those measures that we brought in for veterans and our men and women in uniform. They should be ashamed of themselves.
My advice for the member is for him to leave his seat and have a chat with Jack and see if they will support our veterans.
Veterans June 16th, 2008
Mr. Speaker, our plan is working. When we took office a little over two years ago, we immediately put funding into that. We in fact are doubling the clinics the Liberals had on their shift. We have doubled what they were doing. We are getting the job done. We made those announcements across the country. The latest announcement was in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
National Defence June 9th, 2008
Mr. Speaker, the difference between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, of course, is that when the Liberals were in office they neglected our men and women in uniform, including veterans, and spent most of those 13 years taking benefits away from veterans, including the VIP services.
Since in office, as the House well knows, we have doubled the number of stress injury clinics across the country. The member is quite aware of that. We will continue to do that and provide the very best services to our men and women in uniform and veterans.

The Kentucky Agricultural Development Board approved the County Agricultural Investment Program in March.
The program provides farmers with incentives to improve and diversify current production practices.
CAIP combines what were known previously as County Model Cost-share Programs into one, in which each model program becomes an investment area.
This change, along with a 12-month term for all investment areas, will provide better uniformity and continuity, which will enhance accountability.

Flange nut removal ??
My luck ran out today! Have bent props before but that was all until today. Got shaft, prop, and shaft mtg bracket. Everything is out but the shaft. Anyone one have the hot tip on getting the nut off the flange so I can get the shaft out? The clearance between nut and flange housing is so close I don't have a socket thin enough that will go in there. Got the locking carter key out but the nut is the problem. What am I not seeing?
Also where is the best place to get shaft and mtg bracket---? Last edited by Dino Don; 05-27-2013 at 07:47 PM. Reason: ***'l info |
If it's a powerslot, there isn't room to get a standard socket in there. And if it's a big block, even less. Skidim sells a short 1.25" socket that has wrench flats machined on it, since there isn't enough room for a ratchet drive or breaker bar to turn it:
http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=SYSSOCKET125 32MM is the same dimension as 1.25" and is more readily available as some auto manufacturers were using that size for oil filters. I was going to try and make something that would work, but to save time, just ordered one from Skidim. Skidim can also help you out with the strut and the shaft, or point you in the right direction. Good luck!

Thanks ahead of Time
These are my concerns about modding
What is required to maintain-is it hard?
I heard about game updates bricking the Wii. Scary!
I heard it only runs at 3.0 speed will this slow Cut scenes for every game or just on SSBB?
Does this chip work on every model, even with the epoxy chip
I want to know if their are any other concerns or risks I need to know about Wasabi DX before I buy It
Thanks ahead of Time
So far, no. The Wasabi team has released a firmware upgrade (2.0b), which is installed from DVD, and which enhances the functionality of the chip (most noticably it makes it possible to use the Wasabi DX as a Wasabi Zero if you don't have one of the epoxy Wii drive chips). Otherwise it's more a safety thing in case the big N makes a future update to the Wii System Menu, which requires an update of the modchip.
Yes... Like most other modchips the Wasabi DX chip has a built-in out-of-region update blocker, in order to prevent your Wii from bricking.
SSBB runs fine. But there is problems with choppy video/audio in the cutscenes in Super Mario Galaxy and WarioWare: Smooth Moves.
Just a piece of advice: Check first what version of the Wii drive chip you have. If you have the epoxy type, Wasabi DX is probably your best choice, unless you want to softmod your Wii. If you have one of the older Wii drive chips without epoxy, you are probably better off with a traditional soldered modchip (can be installed via a Wii clip, if you like). The latter types of modchips don't have the choppy video/audio issues as they run at 6x speed (at least most of them do).

Effects of Micronutrient (Chromium) Supplementation on Diabetes
Recruitment status was: Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
6-8% of USA population has diabetes. Intensive blood glucose control dramatically reduces the devastating complications that result from poorly controlled diabetes. However, for many patients, achievement of tight glucose control is difficult with current regimens. Trivalent chromium, the form found in foods and dietary supplements, is believed to be safe. Our preliminary studies have reported that chromium supplementation inhibits the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6; TNF-alpha and IL-6) secretion levels caused by high glucose levels in cultured monocytic cells. Similarly, animal studies have shown that chromium niacinate supplementation lowered blood levels of glycemia and pro-inflammatory cytokines in streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats. Cytokines are proteins that are secreted by monocytes and other cells in response to various stimuli, such as infection. Some of the cytokines are known to regulate insulin sensitivity and elevated level of these cytokines in blood may accelerate clogging of arteries. Thus, chromium supplementation may increase insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in diabetic patients, and may prevent the development of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients. Given the enormous public health cost of diabetes, the prospect of being able to use a relatively low-cost dietary supplement, such as chromium, as an adjuvant therapy to help in achieving normal blood glucose level merits further study.
We will examine the effects of placebo and chromium niacinate supplementation on the fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and markers of vascular disease in blood of diabetic patients. We will determine these above parameters at baseline and after the 1, 2 and 3 months of supplementation in diabetic patients. The long-term objective is to explore the efficacy of chromium as an adjuvant treatment for better glycemic control, prevent the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and improve the life expectancy in diabetic population.
Chromium supplements are widely used by the public and are available in many stores, such as Wal-mart, Walgreens, and many other food and drug stores. Chromium is an essential trace metal and micronutrient present in wide variety of vegetables. Niacin is a vitamin B6, an essential vitamin for our body. This study plans to use chromium niacinate, a complex of chromium and niacin. Chromium niacinate is considered a nutrient.

It's easy to understand why women would want to know whether menopause is under way. They want to know when they will be done with periods, whether they can forget about birth control, and whether menopause can explain why they are feeling certain ways. And it should be as easy as going out and getting a home menopause test to find the answer, shouldn't it?

Unfortunately, it isn't. We have been spoiled by being able to get quick results with over-the-counter tests. If you thought you were pregnant, you'd probably go out to a drug store and buy a pregnancy test. They are pretty accurate, and they offer you the relief (or panic) of knowing whether you are pregnant or not. Or at least they give you a very good idea of whether you are or aren't.

Like everything about menopause, the answer is not so black and white. There are tests that can be run, both at home and at the doctor's office, which will give you clues about whether you are in menopause. But lab tests don't tell the whole story, and their results have to be considered in a larger picture of symptoms, medical history, family history, and general health. If you are hoping that lab tests can tell you whether you are in perimenopause or have finished menopause, here are some things to consider.

Which Hormones to Measure

Several hormones give clues about whether you are still fertile, and how far you might be into perimenopause. They include:

 Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This is the most common hormone measured to determine your menopause phase. This hormone is produced by your pituitary gland, and its purpose is to get an egg (follicle) ready for conception each month. As our eggs age, the pituitary responds by producing more FSH to kick start the follicle cycle. Therefore, as estrogen and other hormones drop, FSH climbs.

 Estrogen is another hormone that can be measured, and low levels usually mean that something is wrong with ovarian production. Menopause is one of many reasons estrogen can be low, along with premature ovarian failure, smoking, chemotherapy, menstrual disorders and too little body fat.

 Other hormones. Your doctor may order levels for several other hormones, including testosterone, progesterone and thyroid hormones to get a picture of what is going on.

What Else is Going On?

In order to make sense of hormone levels and lab tests, it helps to know what else is going on. Your healthcare provider will want to know:

 What symptoms you are having. If you are having other symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, changes in your cycle, mood problems, sleeplessness, vaginal dryness, weight gain,and others, it will help create an overall diagnosis. If you keep a symptom calendar, it can help paint the picture.

 What else is going on in your life. There are many reasons why hormones might fluctuate, or that you may be having symptoms. Are you under more stress than usual? Have you lost or gained weight? Have you been exercising a great deal? Are you a smoker? Any of these can affect your hormones.

 Your family history. Did your mother go through menopause at an early age? Did she have thyroid problems? Did she smoke when she was pregnant for you? These can affect you as an adult and can impact your menopause.

Should You Use a Home Test Kit?

There are FDA approved home test kits that will show positive for an FSH level on the high side. But getting a positive test result does not mean you are past menopause. If you are curious about whether your FSH levels are high, the test is a very rough indication. But it doesn't mean that you are or are not in menopause, even when you get two positive readings in a row.

FSH tests are available both in drug stores and over the internet. The ones approved by the FDA are urine tests, so beware of any that say that you can test saliva to tell whether you are in menopause. These have not proven to be reliable.

How Can You Get a Menopause Diagnosis?

A good diagnosis always considers many factors. Often it is a combination of:

Symptoms + Lab Tests + Medical History = Diagnosis

If you want to know whether you are in perimenopause, or whether you have finished with menopause, lab tests can help confirm the diagnosis. But hormone levels vary so much that you'll probably need several readings to see whether it's a trend or a normal variation for you. So, for example, your doctor might look for:

Symptoms (no period for several months, hot flashes, etc.)+
High FSH (Usually over 40mIU/mL for 2 separate readings)+
No other medical conditions that would explain your symptoms =
Menopause

Every woman is different, and your hormone levels are more significant when you compare them to your own previous levels, not to a standard formula. If you do a home test and find that your FSH is "positive" (which is usually over 25mIU/mL for most test kits) this is a clue, but it is not a diagnosis. You need to look at the whole picture to determine when your menopause occurs.

Remember -– don't use a home menopause test kit to decide whether it's safe to stop using birth control. Perimenopause is famous for surprising women with pregnancy after many months without a period. Assume that it's possible to get pregnant and use birth control until you have a reliable diagnosis of menopause. Some physicians recommend using some sort of birth control, or keeping emergency contraception on hand until 24 months after your last period. If you really don't want a pregnancy, play it safe.

Today I got an interesting email from an aspiring piercer:
My name is Jordan and I was an apprentice up until a few days ago. I got your book and started reading "How To Choose A Piercer" and the piercing and aftercare techniques and realized that the person that I was learning from was not a skilled piercer. He was recommending baby shampoo as his sole aftercare product! I looked up the ingredients and among fragrances and surfactants were other irritants that were both genotoxic and cytotoxic! So I wanted to thank you because in reading the book twice I increased my knowledge tenfold! My girlfriend and I literally read your book together in bed :) Also the other day I was on the Rings of Desire site and saw that you used to sell autographed posters? Where was I?!? haha :) I'd love an autographed picture or poster! Would Love to hear from you soon!Hi Jordan, Thanks for your email. I'm so glad to hear that my book has proven to be helpful to you, and that you took the time to let me know about it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad piercers out there, and plenty of them are taking on apprentices to create yet more untrained, unskilled practitioners. My hope is that my book will help to elevate the whole industry. By creating educated consumers, it helps put those hacks out of business. I didn't imagine it was going to be the kind of book couples read in bed together! That kind of feedback sure puts a big smile on my face. You can get an autographed poster by ordering one through LeRoi. I'll be at their studio in Manhattan June 26-28 having a book signing and doing piercings. I've had a box of posters shipped there, and I can sign one for you and have it shipped out.

While there was no doubt that Jean Dujardin was the charming story of the awards season last year, capped off by a Best Actor win at the Oscars, his Hollywood prospects seemed doubtful. His command of the English language is limited, but he proved he could deliver with some great comic timing with the right material, thanks to a pretty great Funny Or Die video. But he'll have his greatest test yet as he's nabbed his first stateside role with one of the most esteemed directors…well, ever.
Dujardin has come aboard Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf Of Wall Street." He joins a pretty solid cast thus far with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Kyle Chandler already on board, in the story based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort and adapted by Terence Winter, that tells the true tale of the rise and fall of a drug/sex/alcohol-addicted New York stockbroker. So how will Dujardin get around his not-so-thorough English? He plays "a suave Swiss banker" (obviously) who is laundering money for DiCaprio's company. One of the official languages in Switzerland? French. So we presume a little bit of broken English will be just fine for the part.
But language issues aside, Dujardin has proven he can be a great screen presence and we figure Scorsese will put that to good use. It's a smart addition to a film that is getting more intriguing with each announcement. Fans of the actor will soon see him in his native tongue in the French hit "The Players" that The Weinstein Company will distribute on this side of the ocean, and he has a handful of films in the works as well including the thriller "Mobius" opposite Tim Roth and a remake of Claude Berri's "One Wild Moment" with Vincent Cassel.
Shooting on "The Wolf Of Wall Street" kicks off this summer. [Variety]

Steamboat Springs Rodeo fans have a rare opportunity this weekend to experience the authentic brand of equestrian skills born centuries ago in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
Known as charros, the horsemen of Jalisco are known for their trick riding and roping performances as much as they are for their ornate costumes. Jerry Diaz, a San Antonio native, is a fourth-generation charro whose training is rooted in his family's Palos Verdes ranch in Jalisco. Diaz spends the summer bringing his unique show to rodeos across the West, and he will perform tonight and Saturday at the Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo Series at Brent Romick Rodeo Arena.
This weekend's shows will be Diaz's only performances of the summer in Steamboat.
"We're very excited to have (Diaz) back," rodeo board chairman Brent Romick said. "He's an absolute class act and good at what he does, the whole package. For people that appreciate true horsemanship and skill, there's not anyone that we have year-in, year-out that's more popular."
Romick also raved that Diaz is a perennial contender for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Act of the Year award.
"Folks in town should come if they want to see a little history of Mexico -- with the beauty of the saddles, the music, the outfits and the training of the animals. It's very exciting and colorful," Diaz said about his 12- to 15-minute show that he performs with the help of his wife, Staci.
Diaz said his show will have a surprise involving his 2 ½-year-old son, Nicolas. Although he didn't want to give away too much, Diaz said his son's rope skills won him a standing ovation at their last stop at a rodeo near Calgary, Alberta.
"He's the star," Diaz said. "If you want to see something, he'll steal your heart."
The rodeo starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday at the Brent Romick Rodeo Arena located in the Howelsen Hill Park Complex, 501 Howelsen Parkway.

Last year Urban Outfitters employed Dawn-Marie Hutchinson to prevent hackers accessing their computers. She believes this problem has been over-hyped, calling it "crazy hysteria".
Hutchinson is one of a group of professionals who are taking a stand in a debate about cyberattacks, and whether or not they should be disclosed. They are challenging the current opinion that brands should notify customers, retailers and authorities. These executives are arguing that a large amount of breaches do not cause harm and should be kept quiet. Not every piece of information which is exposed is stolen or used, or a valuable trade secret. They also suggest that revealing everything to the public could do more harm by exposing company weaknesses.
The counter-argument is that corporations have a duty to reveal any hacks to those affected, and that this disclosure aids in preventing it happen again, and helping others respond to such a breach.

Stimulants such as Ritalin and Provigil, corticosteroids, and sleep aids can be used selectively to increase energy, although they may have side effects. Patients can also boost energy during and after cancer treatment with a modest amount of aerobic exercise, stress reduction, and activities that are relaxing and enjoyable.
