CBOE, AMEX and NADEX Binary Options
The Chicago Board Of Options Exchange and AMEX both offer binary options that are tradable on any US based stock and options platform. These options offer a simple and easy way to speculate the US market without the worry of potential scams. Because they are exchange listed they carry the same safety and regulation as standard options. The big problem is that not all options brokers offer access to CBOE binary options. Be sure to check with your broker. Another issue I have found is that they are very thinly traded. The better choice for U.S. CFTC binary options is NADEX. NADEX is the North American Derivatives Exchange. NADEX has about 3 dozen international indexes, currency pairs and commodities to trade. The best part of NADEX is that there is a 100% free binary options demo account for you to practice with.
CBOE And AMEX Have A Limited Offering Of Binary Options
The CBOE offers binary options on two underlyings, the SPX and the VIX. Their symbols are BVZ and BSZ respectively. These two binary options trade just the way you think, if the price move in the direction you predict you win and if it moves against you you lose. Payouts on CBOE binary options are $100 regardless of strike or direction, unlike other types of binaries which pay out a percentage of the initial investment. Every CBOE binary option is worth $0 if out of the money and $100 if in the money. Profits and losses are limited to the cost of ownership. AMEX and NADEX binary options trade exactly the same way. AMEX has a few more assets than the CBOE, about 20, but not as many as NADEX. I always recommend that US traders check out NADEX when choosing a broker.
NADEX Has More Strikes And Expirations
There are other differences between CFTC binary options and other types of binary options. European binary options only have one strike, the current price. CFTC binary options have set strikes and are listed with in, at and out of the money options. NADEX expirations are usually limited to the next available expiration for the underlying future contract which could range from a few hours to 3 months. The cost of each contract is listed between $0.01 and $1.00, depending on strike and the price of the underlying. If the May 1475 SPX binary option is listed with an ask of $0.35 it is $35 per contract. If you win you will be paid $100 at settlement for a total profit of $65, $100 – $35 cost to trade.
CBOE And AMEX Binary Options Expirations
Unlike the growing on line binary options trading community CBOE and AMEX binary options expire in the third week of each month. This is just like standard equity options. Standard options may be sold or exercised at any time but CBOE binary options are settled European Style and may only be exercised at expiration. You can open or close a position at any time but options can only be exercised on expiration day. During its life the value of the option will fluctuate with the movement of the underlying. You can sell your positions at the current market price and once the trade is cleared the difference in prices is your profit(loss).
Buy And Sell NADEX CFTC Binary Options
Margin is not required for trading CFTC binary options and there is no pattern day trader rule. The only cash requirement is the minimum of your broker and the cost of ownership. For example: If you sell a short call for a credit of $52 you will be required to maintain a minimum of $48 in your account to cover the risk of the trade ($100-Credit of $52).
Many Advantages Of CFTC Binary Options
Because CFTC binary options can be bought or sold to open they offer many advantages over other types of binary options. Traders can enter into complex strategies that can enhance gains and lock in profits. Traders can even enter into credit positions, something not yet available on any other binary options platform that I am aware of.

UFC: Why Chris Weidman Is More Than Just Another WrestlerSeptember 10, 2012
Some detractors have labelled Chris Weidman as "overhyped" and "just another wrestler." This is simply untrue. Carefully analyzing all five of his UFC fights reveals multiple reasons why his skill set is broader than that.
For starters, Weidman has good defensive habits. All of his UFC fights show a good ability to cover up against punches and stay relaxed after being tagged. This is better than the more common alternative. Many fighters retreat in a panicked scramble after being tagged. This often leads to their opponent trapping them against the fence and finishing them off.
Contrary to what the critics maintain, Weidman has a personalized brand of wrestling that is actually quite different from what is typically seen in mixed martial arts. Against Mark Munoz, his takedowns started out with attacking one leg before switching to both. Against Jesse Bongfeldt, he used an unusual throw from the body lock.
A typical wrestler would stick to only the standard double leg. This unexpected style might explain how he managed to put on a one-sided clinic against a wrestler of Munoz's credentials. Two other features of Weidman's wrestling factored into his success over Munoz. He was willing to deliberately let go of some holds, even when he wasn't in danger of losing dominant position, to go for other options.
His top control seamlessly blended wrestling with the threat of jiu-jitsu chokes. In short, he is much more than the generic wrestler who just tries to keep his weight on his opponent, maintain the same position and not pressure too much with submissions.
In addition, Weidman's skill set includes good pacing. His takedowns against Munoz occurred at the beginning of each round.
With the exception of the Demian Maia fight, where he got a few takedowns but wasn't quite as aggressive as he usually is, he generally engages very actively instead of pacing back-and-forth tentatively and trading jabs. This might not seem like much but it's actually quite important.
Attacking right off the bat is one reason why Chael Sonnen was so effective against Anderson Silva. Engaging actively, given that it isn't a reckless bum rush (which isn't a problem with Weidman), is usually safer than being hesitant.
All too often, neither fighter wants to close the distance. Both men spend entire rounds throwing punches that aren't really close to landing. Eventually, one fighter has a lapse of concentration and gets knocked out when his opponent unexpectedly rushes him.
Lastly, we have no idea what Weidman's full potential is. He had bone spurs in his elbows for the past two years. How good will he be now that he's received surgery? He was a late replacement for injured fighters in two of his five UFC fights.
How good would he have been if he had enjoyed a proper training camp instead of less than two weeks to prepare? It's probably not a coincidence that those two happen to be his only UFC fights that have gone to decision.
He performed well at the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship after only one year of formal jiu-jitsu training. His sense of distance also improved dramatically in one year. He went from letting himself be in range for a big head kick from Bongfeldt to landing a perfectly timed elbow on Munoz.
He's clearly a very fast learner. What is he going to surprise us with in his next outing? Given that his reach rivals Silva's, I'm going to guess that he's been working on his boxing.

There comes a time in every boy's life where, after holding a pretty decent job for 2 years, the company restructures and changes all of it's standards.I guess what I'm trying to get at is, I'm going to be looking for a new job next week. I'm not being fired or laid off, god no, they want me working fulltime even. I just don't agree with some of the companies new standards. I believe that is a good enough reason to want to find new employment opportunities.My question to you all, those that live near my area (West Island/Montreal), is: do you have any suggestions or leads pertaining to a job that may be hiring?Thanks <3
So much has happened in such little time.So many things that have struck home and that have changed a lot of things in my mind.All of you have a livejournal, but do any of you keep -real- journals/diaries? I do, but I usually use it for a few days then bury it (not on purpose). It's fun to look back a few months and see how much I've changed. And, some of it has been for the better, some of it for the worse.It's given me a lot to think about... and I'm thankful for that... :D

Get out girls!Get out girls!
Get out at unearthly hours.
Get out wearing low cut blouses.
Get out in skirts and shorts.
Get out with friends.
Get out alone.
Get out girls!
Go to pubs, do a few shots,
Go dancing, swing your hips
Go to forts, glide on streets
Go against wisdom.
Wander aimless,
Walk fast,
Walk slow,
Run frantic,
But do not stay at home any longer!
Be overt,
Be shy,
Be rude,
Be perverse,
Be sexy,
But do not be afraid any longer!
On streets! on streets!
You are needed on streets!
You are needed in trains!
Get out in large numbers!
Get out girls!
You owe it to those
who were picked,
raped, molested,
You owe it to
your hands
and legs
and breasts.
You owe it
to your city-
so get out
Reclaim it!
I loved Shivani's poem. Over and over again, I read of women being attacked and molested in public, and it seems like the only 'reason' behind it, if any, was that they were there. Misogyny is not dead, and feminism has a long way to go. Its not just India - all around the world, conditions are becoming more difficult for women even as the 'feminism has won and women now no longer face any problems in being who they truly want to be' rhetoric gains ground. Women work longer hours in jobs where they are paid less than men, they are discursively framed to seek meaning and validation in romantic relationships and consumer items, they are often left shouldering single families, and excessive sexualisation has made public spaces unsafe, while enabling a corresponding 'get back to your homes and stay safe' intervention rather than 'let us change our public spaces'.
Two days later, Vipul gave me a printout and said that Shivani had added to the poem, and posted an update on Facebook. Here it is:
Get out boys!!Get out boys
At dusk or at night
And when the afternoon is bright
Look around with drunken eyes
You surely will find a Girl or two
Or a group of them waiting for you
To be touched, molested, or laughed at,
And if you have a car, po'er, or banknote
You must not hesitate to use force
How else would you qualify as the
Man of the society of women.
Make sure you tell them firmly
that they need to learn the lessons.
Disclose that it is not you
who is perverse or spineless,
it is they
who are provocative and mindless
and consequently need a reminder of our traditions.
Get out boys!
Be bold and adventurous
Try ganging!
Be funny and capricious
Try recording!
Be aggressive and contentious
Try tearing!
Be moral and conscientious
Try blaming!
Get out boys!
Don't you worry
Laws will protect you
Cables will applaud you
Society will hide you
Convention will side you
And when more of you do it more often
No one will keep up.
I loved this version too. And as I discussed it with Vipul, one of the things I said was "There is a lot of anger in the poem - this issue must still anger her, for her to go on adding to her earlier version". The next morning, Vipul told me that he had written the above poem, inspired by Shivani's earlier one. And he had not written it in anger. I got a lot of ribbing about my discussion of the poet's state of mind, but then I believe in the intentional fallacy - it is erroneous to judge a text by the intention of the creator.
As I pointed out to him, Barthes argued that the reader creates their own text, and in that sense the author is dead after creating the text, so I still stand by my interpretation. I still see anger in both the poems, and I for one am glad to see it. In fact, Vipul's poem is more pessimistic than Shivani's - she talks about reclaiming the streets and the city, whereas his ends on a note wherein nothing is going to change. Both poems encourage me to keep thinking about issues, and getting worked up over them. I'm thankful to have these two feminists in my life, as I am thankful for all the people I know who care deeply and get worked up over things.
Incidentally, he has time to write poems when he is in the university, and does not have time to do my proof-reading? Now that's even better cause for anger!

The water's fine.

Prone to Wander
To live and to die,
Finding direction and finding life,
Blindness, momentary…
Then sight.
We all are left to choose,
To discover the treasures of the world
Or to be left in darkness
To die, the tragic death of dreams
Or to continue forward, learning all the way.

How It Feels to Be Colored Me
This orchestra grows rambunctious, rears on its hind legs and attacks the tonal veil with primitive fury, rending it, clawing it until it breaks through to the jungle beyond. I follow those heathen--follow them exultingly. I dance wildly inside myself; I yell within, I whoop; I shake my assegai above my head, I hurl it true to the mark yeeeeooww! I am in the jungle and living in the jungle way. My face is painted red and yellow and my body is painted blue. My pulse is throbbing like a war drum. I want to slaughter something--give pain, give death to what, I do not know. But the piece ends. The men of the orchestra wipe their lips and rest their fingers. I creep back slowly to the veneer we call civilization with the last tone and find the white friend sitting motionless in his seat, smoking calmly.
"Good music they have here," he remarks, drumming the table with his fingertips.
Music. The great blobs of purple and red emotion have not touched him. He has only heard what I felt. He is far away and I see him but dimly across the ocean and the continent that have fallen between us. He is so pale with his whiteness then and I am so colored.

Glass, Concrete, and Stone
That feeling of apathy. Oh my heavens, it just came about like these clouds. Covered up that beautiful blue sky and them stars. Not to say darkness has overshadowed my life, nope, not like that. Anything but that. I think it is just the time to move on. I have no problem leaving this, I just need to know that it's time to go. I don't think I could handle bringing about something that I didn't intend, especially now. It is almost a good feeling, being ready to let it all go. I mean seriously, this almost feels healthy.

Rob Lowe set out to prove he's no scaredy-cat when he came up with the premise for his weird new TV show by spending the night in America's most haunted house.
The actor and his sons are the stars of the upcoming A&E show "The Lowe Files," which focuses on America's creepiest locations, folklore and myths - and to prove he and the boys were up for anything they agreed to check out a real ghost fest.
"We go to the most haunted location in the United States and spend the night there on the show," he tells WENN. "It's like legitimately, 'If you can be in Scooby Doo for real, would you do it?' And the answer is Yes!"
Rob admits the idea for the TV series has been simmering for years: "We as a family have always been into spooky campfire stories and ghost stories. We watched 'Ancient Aliens,' 'Finding Bigfoot' and wonder if it's real or not real. These are all supernatural, freaky stories."
The Lowes go off in search of Bigfoot in the series.

Sydney paramedic unhappy with WCB over benefits being cut
Becky Anthony has been without benefits for 14 months and says she isn't ready to go back to work
A Sydney paramedic who says she is not well enough to safely go back to work is upset the Workers' Compensation Board of Nova Scotia (WCB) cut her benefits.
Becky Anthony says she was injured on the job in 2012 when she was forced to lift a stretcher because the wheels on it would not lock into place. She says with the incubator on the stretcher, it weighed about 400 pounds.
Anthony says the incident caused migraine headaches and pain in her neck and back.
She says her doctor recommended a rehabilitation program that involved hours of weightlifting and therapy combined with a gradual return to work over an eight-week period. However, her pain increased and she had to quit the program.
Anthony says that's when WCB cut her benefits.
"My neurologist has sent in numerous reports to them stating what my injury is and exactly why I can't go back to a job that involves lifting," she said. "What they want is more medical. My work advisor needs more medical information from him in order to carry on with my tribunal."
It's been 14 months since her benefits were eliminated, but Anthony says she can't file an appeal. While she has a letter from her family doctor explaining why she had to leave the rehabilitation program, she says WCB wants more information from her neurologist. She has asked for it, but has had no response.
Andrew MacNeil is an appeals commissioner with the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal (WCAT). He says the number of cases that take more than six months to settle has increased by 20 per cent.
"Virtually all that difference is now accounted for by delays in receiving medical evidence. I can't say that it's typical, but it's becoming more common," said MacNeil.
He says many people don't realize that they can file an appeal without all of the necessary records. WCAT can order WCB to get the information from the doctor involved.
MacNeil says the WCB often has more success getting the information than an individual.
Anthony is not represented by a union because she was a casual employee. The union representing full-time paramedics, the International Union of Operating Engineers, says they receive a few complaints every year from WCB applicants waiting for doctor reports.

The Challenge
Cox Agri are one of the UK's leaders in the manufacture and supply of products to the agricultural industry. They have a comprehensive range of stockbreeder products that they supply to farmers through an extensive network of agricultural merchants.
Pexa have occupied their current premises for a while now, however due to an increase in business and the subsequent need for expansion that brings, they started to look at moving premises. This was due to the need for more office and production space. However they soon realised that this would be a stressful and costly exercise.
They had a large warehouse with unused space above head height and previously had a mezzanine floor installed for office use and had space next to that one for another. This is where their search for a mezzanine floor installer began.
Project Video
Here's our video case study for the office mezzanine floor project for one of the UK's leading agricultural product manufacturers.
The search for a solution
Once Cox Agri had decided that an office mezzanine floor was the solution that they wanted for their office space needs, they got to work finding a turn key mezzanine floor contractor that could provide them with the solution that they needed.
Once they had found Nexus online, they invited us in to carry out a survey of their space and to discuss their requirements. They were impressed by the fact that we could not only implement the solution that they required but also design their new space too.
Once we arrived on site, we got to work conducting a survey of Cox Agri's warehouse premises. Once we had measured the space, we sat down with Cox Agri to discuss their needs for the new space.
At this point we discovered how their business works and who would be using the office space on top of the new mezzanine floor. This is so we can design the new office space layout correctly and have departments next to one another that need to work with one another.
After discovering how Cox Agri's business works, we created the designs for their new office mezzanine floor space with production space underneath. The mezzanine floor was designed to adjoin to their existing office space, allowing flow between departments.
Our proposals included all electrical and lighting requirements along with their partitioning needs to create a meeting room and two managers offices. With the positioning of the new mezzanine floor, the creation of external windows on the mezzanine level were needed to allow natural light into the office.
Once Cox Agri looked at our design proposals and itemised quote allowing them to see a cost for each aspect of the project, they commissioned Nexus to carry out their office mezzanine floor project for them.
The project involved the design and installation of an office mezzanine floor for Cox Agri's office employees. This mezzanine floor was designed to adjoin to their existing office mezzanine floor to facilitate flow between departments. Therefore we had to cut out a hole on the existing wall to allow us to install the brand new double door set.
With the positioning of the new mezzanine floor, to enable natural light into the office we needed to install new external windows. These were installed at the front of Cox Agri's building and we ensured the window tint on them was exactly the same as their existing windows.
The new office facilities were all installed by us, minus the furniture, as Cox Agri wanted to use their existing items. Therefore the project involved the installation of all flooring, glass partitioning, suspended ceilings and all lighting, data and electrical requirements.
Underneath the office facilities, Cox Agri required a production space, separated from the rest of the warehouse floor. Therefore, we installed glass partitioning along the perimeter of the room looking out onto the warehouse. Suspended ceilings and new lighting were installed underneath the mezzanine to create light for the production area.
Nexus acted as the principal contractor for Cox Agri's mezzanine floor project and completed it on time and on budget. Our installation team implemented each aspect of the project from the installation of the mezzanine floor, through to the office partitioning and flooring.
It was also our job to ensure that all building regulations were adhered too with our design of the new space and we also ensured the health and safety of everyone on site.
The new premises will allow Cox Agri to move forward and continue with their expansion and meeting the orders of their vast amount of clients. We would like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to work with them and help them to achieve their workspace needs and we wish Cox Agri all the best for the future.
We would love to partner with you to achieve your goals….

The King George VI at Sandown Will be a Completely Different Race
Some big news from last week that had everyone talking was that Kempton Park is to be sold by The Jockey Club for an estimated £100m. I have never got to ride around Kempton yet, but I'm sure I will before it shuts in a few years' time. This is very disappointing news, as it's the equivalent of losing a course like Leopardstown in Ireland and I don't think the King George VI will be the same as it's so famous and prestigious, so when it moves to Sandown, it's going to be a completely different race.
I had a quieter weekend in terms of results over the weekend, but someone who has been picking up wins, is Jack Kennedy. After winning the Lexus at Christmas, he keeps banging in winners, with a double yesterday at Fairyhouse. What he's doing and what he'll continue to do, especially at his age, is very impressive and with Gordon Elliott backing him, he'll stay riding winners.
It's very competitive for rides in Ireland. If you're not supported by the big super powers in the sport, then it's very difficult to get ahead, especially as a young jockey. I'm very lucky that my rides are for a variety of owners and trainers. I am able to ride for smaller trainers and yards like Pat Fahy as well as Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead. I ride out for about four or five trainers each week and then ride work on the Curragh for a number of other people, which also helps me to pick up rides wherever possible.
People are starting to talk more and more about the Cheltenham Festival in March, and as I have previously mentioned in my RacingFX blog, BRAIN POWER is one to keep an eye on as we head towards the festival, as it'll be interesting to see if he can step up and compete with Champion Hurdle company. I've also ridden SUB LIETENANT twice this season, winning both times and I couldn't be more impressed with him. He gives me an unbelievable feeling every time I ride him and I think he would be great in the Ryanair. But as I've said before, there's still plenty that could happen between now and March, so we will have to see.
News from Willie's yard is that we could well see FAUGHEEN make his return at Leopardstown in the Irish Champion Hurdle at the end of the month. This is very exciting as his performance last year is the best I've seen, but it'll be difficult coming back after such a long absence. He's the best horse I've witnessed in my time though, so if he comes back to anywhere near his best, it's sure to be a very good performance.
There's plenty to look forward to this week, with racing at Thurles on Thursday, Navan on Saturday and Leopardstown on Sunday, and you can read my thoughts on all the action, every Monday with RacingFX.

Part of the Career Toolbox Series
What is it?
GlassDoor.com is a website that can be used to search for jobs, much like any other job board on the internet. However, there are many unique aspects that set this particular website apart. For one, it is very aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate and narrow searches. Other websites look atrocious. Like ugly little animals. Like something I would draw with my left hand. Anyway, GlassDoor.com not only offers job postings, but also company and occupational salaries, company reviews, interview questions, and hiring process reviews. These are usually anonymous, written by employees and job seekers alike. Although, some companies will put their own information on the website to ensure the information is accurate as well as to promote.
By now you're probably thinking, "Why Thien, how do I become a part of this elite group?" And worry not my dear friend, for I'm here to tell you just that. You can become a part of this group by simply signing up on the website with your email, or even through your Facebook account. You may be thinking at this point, "Whoa, my Facebook? But why Thien?" And I'll tell you exactly why. Here it comes, ready? Here it is: with your Facebook connected to GlassDoor, you can see who your friends are connected to. They may be employed by a company of interest, or may be friends with someone who works for a company you are looking at. Still don't trust me? I wouldn't either. You know that guy who always farts and then asks everyone, "Hey, do y'all smell popcorn?" And then everyone takes in a huge whiff trying to smell popcorn. That's ME!
You can search for jobs with a keyword, title, or company, along with a location. You can further narrow down your search in terms of distance from the location, posting time, and company rating. These postings are usually hosted by another website, such as Monster or CareerBuilder.

The thirty-minute work is seldom heard in its entirety and will be performed on the church's three-manual, seventy rank organ built by the Ernest M. Skinner Company of Boston 1930 and enlarged by John F. Shawhan (1965) and Scott Wheeler (1975). The lunch-hour recital is open to the public; introductory tours of the organ will follow the program. A free-will offering will be taken after the recital to support the overhaul of the historic sanctuary pipe organ, which is in need of repair.

To see our full product line or if you have any questions or comments about this product, please visit our website at: www.bionaire.com.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3.Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs or near heat registers.
4.DO NOT place humidifier near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, and heaters. DO locate your humidifier on an inside wall near an electrical outlet. The humidifier should be at least 4 inch away from the wall for best results.
5.NEVER place humidifier in an area where it is accessible to children. NEVER use humidifier in a closed room, particularly where a child may be sleeping, resting, or playing (a closed room may result in excessive humidity).
6.WARNING: Do not attempt to refill humidifier without first unplugging the unit from its electrical outlet. Failure to heed this warning may cause personal injury. Be sure to unplug the unit by pulling on the plug and not the cord.
7.Never place anything over moisture outlet when the unit is running.
8.NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9.DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
10.Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
11.DO NOT use outdoors.
12.Always place humidifier on a firm, flat, level surface. A waterproof mat or pad is recommended for use under the humidifier. NEVER place it on a rug or carpet, or on a finished floor that may be damaged by exposure to water or moisture.
13.DO NOT allow the Moisture Outlet to directly face the wall. Moisture could cause damage, particularly to wall paper.
14.Humidifier should be unplugged when not in use.
15.NEVER tilt, move, or attempt to empty unit while it is operating. Shut off and unplug before removing the water tank and moving the unit.
16.This humidifier requires daily and weekly maintenance to operate appropriately. Refer to daily and weekly cleaning procedures. Use only cleaners and additives recommended by the manufacturer.
17.NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner, or other household solvents to clean any part of the humidifier.
18.Excessive humidity in a room can cause water condensation on windows and some furniture. If this happens, turn the humidifier OFF.
19.Do not use humidifier in an area where humidity level is in excess of 50%. Use a hygrometer, available at your local retailer or through the manufacturer, to measure the humidity.
20.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
21.Never place housing under water flow or immerse in liquids.
22.Do not plug in the cord with wet hands: electric shock could result.
23.Do not pour water in any openings other than the water tank.
24.To prevent damage to surfaces, do not place humidifier under overhanging surfaces.
25.NEVER operate unit without water in the tank.
26.Do not move unit after it has been used until unit cools completely.
27.Use both hands when carrying full tank of water.
NOTE: This is an electrical appliance and requires attention when in use.
NOTE: If moisture forms on the walls or windows of the room, turn off the humidifier. The room already has plenty of humidity and additional moisture may cause damage.
NOTE: DO NOT block air inlet or outlet.
This appliance has a POLARIZED AC PLUG (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the humidifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
1.Be sure the humidifier is switched off (the Slider Wheel
(C)is turned all the way towards " O" position).
2.Select a location for your humidifier, on a flat level surface about 4 inch away from the wall. DO NOT place the humidifier on a finished floor or near furniture, which can be damaged by too much moisture or water. Place on a moisture resistant surface.
3.Remove the tank from the main housing.
4.Bring the tank to the sink, turn upside down and twist off the tank cap by turning counter clockwise. Fill tank with cool, fresh tap water. DO NOT fill with warm water as this may cause leaking. Replace the cap on tank FIRMLY. The tank capacity and run time for each model are listed below:

6.Plug the humidifier into a 120V electrical outlet.
1.To turn the humidifier on, switch the Slider Wheel (C) to
produce the highest moisture level ( ). A lower setting will produce lower moisture level but with longer run time (for BU5000 and BU5100 only). The detailed
settings for each model are shown as below: BU5000: Off ( O) - Low () - High () BU5100: Off (O ) - High ()
BU5200: Off ( O) - On ()
2.When the humidifier runs out of water, the transducer will automatically shut off and the fan will keep running to dry any residual water out of the base and chamber.
3.Once the tank is empty, turn the the Slider Wheel to the Off position ( O) and unplug the unit.
4.Before refilling the tank, empty any residual water from the base and tank. Follow daily maintenance instructions.

WARNING: DO NOT move the humidifier with water in the tank or the humidifier base. The moving action of the water may activate the water tank's release nozzle and overfill the humidifier base. This may cause the humidifier to function intermittently, or stop emitting mist. Should this occur, simply remove the excess water from the humidifier base.
IMPORTANT: If you do not plan to use your humidifier for two or more days, make sure any residual water is drained from the water tank and base to prevent any algae or bacteria growth in stagnant water. Make sure the tank is dry.

Tips and Recipes For Healthy Juices and Smoothies
Smooth Moves
Drink your way to healthy! According to many diet experts, juicing and drinking smoothies is a healthy way to clean up your eating habits, help you lose weight and restore your body. But, hear me out before you run for the nearest peanut butter and banana smoothie (although that does sound delicious right now). Don't solely base your diet on just liquids. Slowly introducing juice and smoothies is one of the surest ways to maintain a healthy habit! I recently began the art of juicing (trust me, it can be messy at times) and have some tips to help you add some vegetables and fruits to your life. And, did I mention I have delicious recipes for you to try?
Juicer vs. Blender
It seems commonsensical to use a juicer to make yourself juice and a blender to blend and make a smoothie. However, many people have successfully used a blender to make juice. (Little more advance for my liking.) But, to settle the debate over the juicer and blender, it really comes down to what you are most interested in making. Both are equal in terms of creating healthy food, but their process produces different consistencies and textures.
I use both a juicer and blender because I like variety in food tastes at various times during the day. In the morning, I enjoy a good peanut butter and banana smoothie (made with a blender) that keeps me full until it's time for lunch. Around the afternoon, early evening, I throw back a half-pint size of vegetable juice I made that morning in the juicer. So, I enjoy the option of having both a blender and juicer.
But, when it is all said in done, no matter if it was blended or juiced, you are getting a good dose of healthy eating.
Juicing and Blending for Weight Loss
Juicing and making smoothies has become a ritual for people trying to lose weight and get in shape. I've tried it and enjoy making myself a lovely drink every day! Here are my favorite juices and smoothies to make.
Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
I drink this delicious smoothie for breakfast, and it keeps me full and focused until lunch time. Yields 2 cups!
You'll Need:
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- ½ cup vanilla greek yogurt
- 1 (heaping) tablespoon of peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of ice
- 1 ripe banana
- Place all ingredients into the blend
- Process until smooth
- Enjoy
V-8 Juice
I love, love, love v-8 juice! This recipe is a healthy copycat from the popular V8, except it is free from processed ingredients, food coloring and salt. Yields 3 ½ pint mason jars.
You'll Need:
- 6 tomatoes*
- 4 carrots
- 4 stalks of celery**
- 1 bunch of spinach
- 1 beet
- 1 lemon
- Juice your ingredients except for the lemon
- Stir juice together
- Squirt lemon juice in the juice
*Tomatoes can be expensive to buy so I buy organic tomato juice. It's cheaper and will last longer for you and your juice making.
**If you like a saltier taste, add more celery.
Tips For Juicing and Smoothie-Making
- Too Much: Adding too many vegetables to your juice or smoothie only muddies the taste and color. Be specific on what you add and remember to keep it simple. Add about four vegetables, one base, one fruit and a herb.
- Adding Produce You Don't Like: If you wouldn't usually eat the fruit or vegetable in its whole form, don't add it to your juice or smoothie. I personally don't like kale, so I don't add it to my juice. You can't bury the taste of something you don't like with other produce. Instead choose food that you enjoy eating because it will motivate you to continue.
- Healthy Lunch Doesn't Equal Fatty Snack Later: I'm proud of you for replacing one meal with a healthy juice or smoothie, but don't ruin it by snacking on that chocolate cake later tonight. The surest way to lose weight is by maintaining a healthy diet. It's OK to have a cheat day every once in a while but remember to stay strong and drink on!
Try making a delicious juice or smoothie to go along with your healthy lifestyle, today!

Imagine your whole family huddled around a camp fire, roasting marshmallows, talking to each other instead of being glued to cell phones and lap tops. Sounds fun right? But this fun and enjoyable family camping trip can quickly turn into a disaster if you don't have proper gear. The very first thing that you need to buy is a good quality and durable family tent.
Alas, this is where the problem starts. You will find that buying a family camping tent is not as easy as you thought it would be. To make the most appropriate choice you need to do a bit of research before heading out to get your tent. Here we have reduced some of your research time and compiled a list of some best family tents available in the market.
1. Coleman Sundome Tent
A three season tent that is cozy and lightweight. Two people can easily spend night in this camp although it can host a maximum of six people sitting. With Insta-Clip poles, setting up the tent is easy and takes just a few minutes Coleman's patented Weather Tec system makes this camp waterproof so that you don't have to worry about wet beds even when a storm is on the horizon.
2. Airgo Cirrus 6 Tent
If you are inexperienced or plain lazy and the thoughts of setting up a tent send chills down your spine than Airgo Cirrus 6 is your answer. This is an inflatable tent that only takes about 5 to 10 minutes to set up. The camp can host 6 campers along with their gears. All the beams are connected and then inflated using a stirrup pump that comes along with the tent. It is a double walled tent and the inner walls are made up of breathable mesh to provide ventilation. There is a large front door and two small side doors for easy entry and exit. One of the side doors even has a rain hood so that you can keep it open during rain without worrying about getting wet. The tent also consists of several small pockets for storage purposes.
3. Easy Camp Palmdale 600A Tent
This tent is perfect for occasional campers who want a budget friendly family tent. A family of six can enjoy this tent which also has a zip-out divider in case of privacy. It is made out of polyester with PU coating to protect it against unpredictable weather. Front door is D-shaped and made rain safe by a side annex with detachable groundsheets. The tunnel design maximizes inner space and pre-angled fiber glass poles provide adequate headroom.
4. Vango Drummond 400 Family Tent
The Drummond is an exceptional family tent packed with features, including a living area, standup height and large windows. This family tent can fit in a small family of four. The flysheets are made of polyester which provides protection against rain, UV rays and high winds. The detachable groundsheet can simply be rolled up or spread out as per your requirement. Toggled curtains can be used for privacy and simply rolled up when not in use. The inside is mesh is breathable and keeps the air well circulated.

The new 690 space multi-storey car park is a prominent building that is clearly visible from some distance, so a decision was taken to provide it with a distinctive external appearance. During the day this is achieved by a special cladding design using perforated metal panels, which is further enhanced by the use of different coloured lighting at night. The exterior lighting for the building was designed by Philips Value Added Partner, Lite, providing a wash of colour across the façade. A key consideration was the need to avoid distracting drivers on the nearby busy inner ring road. Each of the ColorGraze fixtures is mounted on special 1m offset brackets to allow the lighting to graze the cladding all the way up the building. The design draws on Lite's experience of using ColorGraze fixtures at the First Direct Arena and Leeds Beckett University to minimise the number of luminaires and reduce costs. The lighting is controlled by a Pharos controller, providing the university with a versatile solution, within the imposed planning constraints. Amitex LED's 9W COB downlighters have been used throughout an upscale development of stone built family homes worth up to £1m each at Kiln Place, Corbridge, Northumberland. The properties blend traditional and contemporary design and the downlighters lend a streamlined, modern feel to the kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. They were installed by Paul Rock Electrical and supplied by City Electrical Factors, Hexham. The downlighters are IP65 and fully fire rated, and have a quick-fit push in connector system which makes them very easy to install. They come with a five year warranty and are available in dimmable and non-dimmable options. GOOD BUSINESS An installation by Stretch Ceilings within the entrance area to Durham Business School perfectly demonstrates how a single illuminated ceiling can open up the space of an area. Stretch Ceilings installed 27m2 of translucent stretch fabric in one panel with daylight white LED lighting to create a clean, crisp finish. The material offers 75 per cent light transmission and is lightweight at only 0.2mm thick. For low maintenance lighting the track is permanently fixed to the perimeter structure allowing the material to be unclipped and refitted by Stretch Ceilings' operatives or trained maintenance staff. Alternatively, the stretch fabric diffuser can be fixed using demountable frames for frequent access. Behind the stretch fabric daylight white LED lighting modules have been used, these offer an even illumination as a result of considered layout and testing. The successful marriage of light and stretch diffuser creates an outstanding monolithic lighting effect. FULL HOUSE COUNCIL SUCCESS Megaman UK has supplied its gold filament and dim to warm lamps, along with IP65 VersoFit downlighters to the new Saint Pauls House Hotel, Birmingham. The boutique hotel with bar and restaurant offers a contemporary mix of modern design with a Shoreditch eclectic style interior and is situated in St Pauls Square in the heart of Birmingham's lively Jewellery Quarter. Megaman lamps and fittings were specified and installed by Worcestershire based lighting specialist 3ci Lighting following a design brief agreed by the hotel owner and designer. Megaman's 10.5W dim to warm LED lamps were used in the hotel bedrooms and created the perfect ambience for relaxation. The dim to warm lamps emit a warm light that can be dimmed from 2,700K to 1,800K that simulate the same dimming characteristics of incandescent and halogen lamps without the heat emission.

Home values in Tauranga City continue to rise, up 3.6 per cent over the past three months and 21.5 per cent year on year.
The average value in the city is now $577,494. Western Bay of Plenty home values also continued to see accelerate up 7.3 per cent over the past three months alone and 21.2 per cent year on year. The average value in the district is now $509,848
QV homevalue Tauranga Registered Valuer David Hume said "The market remains very buoyant in the Bay of Plenty, with auction still being the preferred selling method for most vendors as the market is moving so quickly it's hard to put an asking price on homes."
"Auckland buyers including movers and investors continue to be a strong driving force in the market.
''One recent sale of an investment property selling in Parkvale involved a 10-way multi offer scenario, with nine out of the 10 buyers from Auckland."
"The Western Bay of Plenty is also continuing to show strong growth with significant value increases for both existing homes and bare sections. An example of this is 850 square metre residential sections in Paengaroa, which were selling for $80,000 last year, are now selling for $170,000.
"Given that demand for property remains strong and indications are that the historically low interest rates will be in place for some time, it's unlikely that the boom in the property market in Tauranga will ease any time soon."

John B. Attanasio, a respected litigator, professor and former dean of SMU (Southern Methodist University Law School ), was arrested yesterday (February 1, 2015) in Collin County Texas on a prostitution charge.
While news of the charge makes no distinction, in this case, of solicitation or promotion of prostitution Texas Penal Code defines prostitution as the following:
Sec. 43.02. PROSTITUTION. (a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly:
(1) offers to engage, agrees to engage, or engages in sexual conduct for a fee; or
(2) solicits another in a public place to engage with the person in sexual conduct for hire.
(b) An offense is established under Subsection (a)(1) whether the actor is to receive or pay a fee. An
offense is established under Subsection (a)(2) whether the actor solicits a person to hire the actor or
offers to hire the person solicited.
The news is shocking to the Dallas legal community as Attanasio was a revered SMU dean who helmed the school for 15 years. In fact, a few years ago when the attorney's contract was not renewed, the news inspired outrage from trustees and alumni.
In contrast, current students seemed to point to a darker side of Attanasio as recently as 2013. As one anonymous emailer to "Above The Law: Blog" "Dean Attanasio is immensely arrogant (his image once appeared on half the pages in the annual alumni magazine), he is a relic of the past (he cannot use a computer, so his emails are printed and hand-delivered to him by his secretary), he is unpopular with the faculty (a few promising, young tenure-track professors have left for other similarly-ranked schools in search of healthier administration), and he is incredibly unpopular with students (should he be bothered to acknowledge their painful presence)."
Whatever personality quirks Anttanasio may display, it is certain that he now he an uphill battle to climb to retain his good reputation. Most importantly he'll have a fight in the courtroom as well.

~He hath made every thing beautiful in his time…. Ecclesiastes 3:11~
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.~ Psalms 91:11

One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.~Psalms 27:4
Have a blessed week. 🙂
Here's one of my favorite chapters in Psalms,
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Psalms 63
Have a blessed week! 🙂
What are some of your favorite scriptures?

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.~Psalms 37:4~KJV

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.~ Psalm 46:1-3
Have a Happy and Blessed Sunday Everyone! Also have a blessed week!

It is the mission of Mountain Peak Recovery to provide the very best therapeutic environment that will enable individuals and families affected by substance use disorders to achieve learning that is conducive to lifelong recovery. It is further our mission to bring light to darkness of all kinds, which occurs in the lives of the people we serve. We believe that mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow. We desire to help everyone we come in contact with learn from the mistakes in their lives and put that learning toward lasting change and constant improvement leading to lives of joy, fulfillment and purposeful meaning.
Grey Matters International is about shattering the bounds of what has traditionally left mainstream psychologically based recovery approaches marginally effective. From traditional therapy to counseling, professional coaching, treatment centers, couples retreats, corporate team building and so much more, our society has grown accustomed to accepting what is often times described as "minimal improvement."Grey Matters International operates worldwide and is owned by Dr. Kevin Fleming, a visionary within the world of brain-change science founded upon cutting-edge medical advancements. From foreign lands to New York City sky-rises to Malibu treatment centers and secluded Bahaman Island retreats, we bring advanced, practical and highly effective mental health solutions to clients, families, corporations and so much more.
The philosophy of White Deer Run is simple and direct: We are dedicated to ensuring that each person is treated as an individual, receives a treatment plan tailored to his or her specific needs, and is provided with the optimum opportunity to realize a full and rewarding lifestyle, free from chemical dependency.To accomplish this objective, we are committed to the following principles:Comprehensive Care – We are uniquely prepared to offer a full continuum of care, from medically supervised detox through residential rehabilitation and aftercare planning.Personalized Treatment – Every person who receives care at White Deer Run of Allenwood is treated with dignity and respect according to a personalized plan that has been developed to meet his or her specific strengths and needs. To support this initiative, we also offer a broad range of specialty treatment programs.Professional Excellence – At White Deer Run of Allenwood, all individuals in treatment benefit from collaborative interactions with multi-disciplinary teams of dedicated and experienced professionals whose sole purpose is providing the best possible care to those who choose to heal with us.
At Burkwood Treatment Center, our philosophy of treatment is based upon the understanding that alcoholism (also called by different names, including "chemical dependency," "addiction," or even "Reward Deficiency Syndrome") is a chronic, progressive disease that can be diagnosed and treated, and that abstinence is the beginning of permanent recovery. Most importantly, that recovery is a Way of Life!We understand that getting help is often the hardest step toward sobriety and we work diligently to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere to each person who chooses to begin recovery with us. We honor the unique experiences, voices, and strengths that each participant brings to the treatment process, and we endeavor to incorporate these elements into treatment whenever possible. Also, we place a premium on ensuring that all participants and their family members are treated with dignity and respect.A cornerstone of our program is the knowledge that accepting personal responsibility for wellness is a key to lasting sobriety. In the words of Bill Wilson, "The essence of all growth is a willingness to make a change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever responsibility this entails."At Burkwood, we recognize that many people with this disease fall into the pattern of managing their illness instead of managing their recovery. In other words, we recognize that the best "Relapse Prevention Plan" is a "Strong Recovery Plan" based on years of evidence delineating the recovery process.The ultimate objective at Burkwood Treatment Center is for each participant to achieve his or her treatment goals and develop the recovery skills and strategies that will support long-term recovery. By teaching participants and family members about the nature of the disease and empowering our participants to effectively manage their associated symptoms, we help them to place themselves in the best possible position to successfully pursue happier and healthier lives, free from the biphasic cycle of the illness.

Here we are with the long-awaited third part of my series on how to make music with your Mac. In the first installment, we looked at audio hardware; in the second installment, we discussed digital audio workstations. Today we're going to look at useful DSP (or digital signal processing) plugins and software synthesizers to help aid in your music making.
Again, a disclaimer: these are only a small handful of the options open to you. There are thousands of Mac-friendly synths and plugins out there, and you can spend as much time playing with demos and tweaking presets as you can making music. Having said that, these are a few tools I've personally found useful in my quest to become a halfway-decent digital producer.
More after the jump.

Management tips from Celonis CEO Alexander Rinke
You can't crack under pressure!
► Celonis, a Technical University of Munich spin-off that analyses its clients' business processes, was named Germany's fastest-growing tech company by Deloitte. CEO Alexander Rinke explains how he has managed this breakneck growth.
TECHNOLOGIST How did you earn this distinction?
ALEXANDER RINKE Our revenue rose 3,951 per cent between 2011 and 2014. We sold our services in 13 different industries. Our clients include giants like Vodafone, Bayer and Siemens.
TECHNOLOGIST What are the dangers of this success?
ALEXANDER RINKE Developing a start-up that quickly is a real challenge. The main danger is that the vision gets lost because of the growth. When you're a small team everyone knows the company in detail. But when you have 50 or 500 employees, everything changes. We constantly have to remind people what we're trying to accomplish.
TECHNOLOGIST What is the recruitment strategy for a fast growing start-up?
ALEXANDER RINKE We already have 60 employees. A start-up is under pressure when it needs to recruit people quickly, and it's tempted to hire the first person who walks in the door. The key is to avoid hiring people who are not up to par. That could have a negative impact on the work environment, so it's better to wait and find the rare gem.
Interview by Clément Bürge

A fine effort from the Liverpool striker opened the scoring at Wembley before Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka struck in the second half.
And the 24-year-old was bullish in his claims that the Three Lions will not be heading for Brazil just to make up the numbers.
"For everybody it's a case of not going out there to make the numbers up. I'm a winner, all the players are winners, " he told ITV.
"It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to win the World Cup but we're winners. We'll do our best.
"We'll put 100 per cent in every training session, every match and we'll try to bring some success."
But the forward admitted that the team weren't at their best with just over two weeks until their opening game against Italy on June 14.
"It was difficult because they defended well, they were very compact. We've worked very hard throughout the week also and we weren't as sharp as we'd have liked to have been.
"It was great to be out there to try and put a performance on for the fans and I'm happy with the result.
"It's not important about myself. It's about the team and the preparation for us. It's about putting in a shift, tactically, technically and doing everything possible to be in optimum shape for the first game."
Manager Roy Hodgson, meanwhile, hailed the victory as a "perfect end to a perfect two weeks", with his side now set to travel to Miami to take on Ecuador and Honduras.
"When you play against teams who get 10 men behind the ball you have to be patient, keep going. I never doubted we'd win the game," he told ITV.
"I knew they'd tire and in the end I think 3-0 is the minimum we can accept from the game."
