Tiffanie - posted on 05/29/2014 ( 10 moms have responded )
My husband and I have joint custody of her 11 year old daughter. We have her every other week. She has everything a girl could want. We spend a lot of money on these things she wants/likes. She may play with it once or twice, maybe. She complains 24/7 that she is bored, even when we are doing something fun, and when she isn't saying it she is sulking. We don't make her do a lot of chores when she is at our house because at her mom's that is all she does. She does their laundry, cooks, cleans, and babysits. What do I do?

The New Jim Stroud!!
I just spent a few minutes over at jimstroud.com. I like the new look. It made me spend quite a bit more time at his site than usual. Now that I think about it!! I don't know if that is a good thing. Just kidding. I specially spent more time on his comics. This one was funny, it was titled
The recruiting life-3
If you haven't been to Jim's site lately, i'd say it be worth a quick look. Keep it up jim.

I wouldn't touch a TIPS fund now with a 10-foot pole.Could you (and others) expand on this? I've been thinking about buying TIPS (individual or fund) to protect against the possibility of inflation taking off over the next 10-15 years. Is there a better way to hedge against inflation?

Lindsay Lohan At War With Holmes
Lindsay Lohan is feuding with Katie Holmes.
The 'Mean Girls' star was expecting to appear on the cover of the April edition of America's Glamour magazine and was left fuming when the coveted front page was given to Katie.
A source said: "Lindsay did a Madonna-themed photo shoot and was totally under the impression it would be the cover.
"Her Marilyn Monroe shoot for New York Magazine made her relevant when she did it, she thought the same would happen this time. Only she wasn't on the cover, Katie was, and she's mad at her now."
Lindsay, 22, donned a vintage wedding dress, white gloves and jewellery to recreate the '4 Minutes' star's performance of 'Like A Virgin' at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards as part of the magazine's American Icons: Seven Decades of Rule Breakers, Risk Takers and Style Makers photo shoot.
Despite her gripe, magazine sources insist they never planned to put her on the cover.
An insider said: "If that was Lindsay's impression, it was a mistake. She was always going to be inside the magazine."
Other stars taking part in the Icon shoot included Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn, Alicia Keys as Michelle Obama and Hayden Panettiere as aviator Amelia Earhart.
If that was Lindsay's impression, it was a mistake. She was always going to be inside the magazine.
Katie is not the first celebrity Lindsay has waged war against.
She is rumoured to have scrawled obscene graffiti about 'Lost In Translation' star Scarlett Johansson on a New York nightclub bathroom wall.
She was also engaged in a war of words with 'Lizzy Maguire' star Hilary Duff after they dated singer Aaron Carter at the same time in 2004, though they later patched up their differences.
Her appearance in US sitcom 'Ugly Betty' was shortened to four episodes from six amid rumours she had argued with its main star America Ferrera.

When you step into Taraloka you step out of the world and into Tara's realm; a realm of supreme giving. Taraloka is dedicated to giving the Buddha's teaching as freely as possible so that every woman has the opportunity to come on retreat and explore their practice of meditation and the Dharma, enjoying time with themselves and deepening friendships.
Taraloka exists thanks to the many women have given time and money to create this unique women's space. At the heart of Taraloka is a flow of generosity: retreat leaders who freely give the gift of the Dharma; numerous short-term volunteers; the Taraloka community of long-term volunteers; and the many retreatants who have given donations over the years. This flow of generosity is radical in the transactional world in which we live.
While Taraloka's running costs are met by the generous donations from women when they come on retreat, if you can give more, you'll help ensure we continue to function within this radical flow of generosity.
Please give what you can to Taraloka: be a bigger part of the flow of generosity which enables Taraloka to continue to inspire women & flourish for the generations to come.
"There was so much in that amazing week. It was one of the best things I have ever done." Emmy after her first retreat at Taraloka

There is a fundamental difference between listening and hearing. Nowhere is this distinction more prominent than as it relates to the Word of God. Think about it most individuals have gone to church countless times yet they still lack faith. What's interesting is that you use your ears to do both whether it be listening or hearing. The reason that many of us struggle with our faith because the enemy doesn't care how much we listen to the Word as long as we don't hear the Word. You see faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. You see hearing implies that one responds to what they hear. This response is more than just listening to what was said but actually implementing what was said into practical application in your daily life. What interesting is sometimes overlooked is the tense that hearing is found in. The tense suggest that it is a continuous thing not a one time thing. The tense suggest that the more you hear (respond) to the Word of God the more your faith grows.
Early this morning I downloaded an application that I am praying will help me to grow in my faith. The opportunity will be there it will be up to me to respond. It is the GoBible application as I sleep I will be hearing the Word of God and the plan is to respond to the Word the next day in practical implication in my daily life. Would you take that challenge with me? Let's saturate our minds with the Word of God that we can answer the call to be doers of the word.
Scripture Reference: Romans 10:17
God bless,

When adding a stored procedure into the Entity Data Model I can select whether the procedure returns a scalar, a (new) complex type or one of the entity types I already defined.
How do I do something similar for a view?
I mean assuming I have a view like this
CREATE VIEW FilteredFoos as SELECT Foo.* FROM Foo join ... WHERE ...
(that is a view that implements some involved filtering, but returns all columns from one table) how do I add it to the project so that I can use the entity set, but get the Foo objects, not some new FilteredFoo objects.
var foos = myDB.FilteredFoos.Include("Bar").ToList();
foreach (Foo foo in foos) { ...
Thanks, Jenda
I have a fairly complex SharePoint Designer 2007
Data View they have added two more requirements.
1. Have the columns on the right side be able to scroll left to right as there is a large number of columns, while the first 3 columns on the left side stay locked in place. This is only one list not two, and because of some other requirements
I have it must remain to be just one list.
2. Then they also need to have scrolling up and down of the entire list with the headers locked in place.
The first requirement is more important than the second, but preferrably I need to do both.
I am new to XSL so not familar with the syntax. Is this something I can do on a custom Data View? Does anyone have any examples of how?
I have a drawing that show how it needs to look but I don't see an option here to upload a graphic.
So here is a link to my graphic example uploaded to my blog area: http://lindachapman.blogspot.com/ or just the image here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aB01ue__NvQ/TGL42MOvrGI/AAAAAAAAAA4/c3xP4uCy4BU/s1600/Scrolling.png

I have a stored procedure that returns a dataset with a different number of columns and different column names depending on user input. How can I use this with a GridView? Normally I define the columns beforehand in a static fashion, but, have never done a dynamic dataset like this.
Call me crazy, but I can't figure out how to do something as simple as change the order of the columns in a report without cutting and pasting. Is there someway to reorder columns easily? Say like drag and drop like every other grid on the face of the planet supports?
I have 3 related data tables. I added these tables into a dataset and finally write it to a XML file. But the related columns from table 2 and 3 is appended after all the columns from table 1. How can I have something like:table1->col1table1->col2table2->col1table1->col3table3->col1in a dataset that I write to XML instead of table1->col1table1->col2table1->col3table2->col1table3->col1
It is possible to alter multiple columns within a single alter table statement?
I tried & searched not getting it.
Alter table au_de alter column m_user char(9),c_user char(9)
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ','.
Alter table au_de alter column m_user char(9),alter column c_user char(9)

I am copying data from one source to destination SQL CE table using the data flow task. I have two extra requirements which I am not sure how to achieve.
1.) One source column needs to be mapped to two destination columns. In the column mapping dropdown the column name disappears after mapping it to one destination column.
2) some custom values for columns need to be added, which are not present in source. For e.g. a default value for some destination columns which is not present.
Any pointers would be extremely appreciated. Thanks,
i have 2 tables; the first one records information about shapes. this table has 3 fields where the primary key is a composite one with the shapeID and DimensionName.
one shape has 3 records in this table since there can only be 3 values as DimensionName for a given shape (weight, price and color)
the second table has the shape ID , weight, price and color as its columns. where the shapeID is the primary key.
now what i need to do is i need to map the first table's 3 columns in to 1 column of the second table. i am allowed to use cursors for this.
can anyone please explain how can a approach thisproblem?? code snippets are warmly welcomed. :)
please referr the image for further clarification. to view the image, click this link http://i53.tinypic.com/2rcal2x.png

Tips for Securing Employment in Italy
Planning to work in Italy? Take a peek into what you might expect out there!
Tips for Job Hunters
If teaching English is not what you would like to do in Italy, here are tips that can help:
> Know what you want and try to sound confident of yourself and your abilities.
> Get CV translated to Italian. If you do not know enough Italian, hiring a professional translator will be worth it.
> Don't fake your Italian proficiency as potential employers will surely test you during your interview.
> Check out local and regional newspaper job listings and visit companies personally. People usually remember faces more than names. If you make a personal impression on a prospective employer, it can provide benefits in the long run.
> As well, ensure that all your university degrees and certificates have been properly translated to Italian. This shows your commitment to adjusting with the Italian culture and your sincerity in securing work.
> Italian employers now recognize most European university degrees. However, should you have your degree from, say, the United States, you may have to get in touch with a local university and determine what its equivalent in Italy is.
Of course, the place where you go searching for a job has a lot to do with what kind of work to do and what industry you want to join. When people think of Italy, they automatically think Rome. Rome has dozens of diplomatic missions, international media offices, and various services companies. On top of that, Rome is also home to an expansive international airport and many different international schools, which could be a deciding factor for foreigners who are planning to move here with their families in tow.
If you work in the banking sector, Milan could be the best your best bet. In spite of the economic crisis affecting the finance sector, Milan is still among the globe's biggest financial centers. And while there is a current recession, Milan is still the highest income earner in all of Italy. As the seat of the Italian stock exchange, it is where a lot of international banks have put up shop too. Today, Milan is the number one textile and garment exporter in Italy. Of course, we all know that the main headquarters of such big-time fashion brands as Versace, Valentino and Prade are all found here.
Sicily and Sardinia
Lastly, if your intention is to eventually become self-employed and have a tourism-oriented business, you should consider Sicily and Sardinia. While these two islands are practically bursting with tourism offices and hotels, if you are sure that you have something unique to offer, it is surely worth a try. But keep in mind that you first have to be a legal resident before you can apply for self-employment, and that your social security and health insurance, as well as those of your future employees, will have to be paid by you.

After their regular babysitter Maggie can't make it, the Thompson family turns to her friend Anna to supervise their children while the parents go out to celebrate their anniversary. At first Anna seems like a dream come true to the kids, allowing them to eat extra cookies and play with things that are usually off-limits, but as her behavior becomes increasingly odd, the kids soon find out that her intentions are dark and twisted, and she is not who she seems to be.

Today I uploaded the second part of my Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed review. It covers a comparison between a real life TrackDay on the Nordschleife and the Nordschleife in the game.
Can the game really compare to reality? See for yourself:
Reviews of games, movies and more. I talk about my personal opinions, what I think of the topic, and what I want you to know about it. Since written reviews can be a bit too scientific my video reviews are ment to be more entertaining.

Located in the center of town, The Farmhouse offers an upstairs loft bedroom with 2 queen beds, powder room, and balcony. On the ground floor you will find a bedroom with 2 single beds and a trundle, a large bath featuring both a shower and claw foot tub, a kitchen fully stocked with dishes and cooking utensils, and a laundry room for your use.
Perfect for your next family reunion, business trip, or just to come and enjoy our beautiful valley!
We currently own and operate a B&B, as well as The Farmhouse, in picturesque Paonia, CO.
Sharon Morley purchased this farmhouse in 2010
The unique character of the home jumped out at us. We knew it would require intensive restoration and renovation efforts, but it turned out to be worth it.
Amazing rustic farmhouse feel, but still completely comfortable.
We were so pleased with this charming home. It fit all our needs perfectly and being able to walk to downtown was a big hit. The owners were very helpful, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet as well. We would definitely recommend it, and would stay here again. Thank you!
My husband and I enjoyed staying at this charming home right in the middle of town, convenient to restaurants and the park. But if you want a peaceful evening in, there are games to play, a great selection of books, wifi, and a television. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is in prestine condition, We have stayed in many different homes but this one is by far the cleanest. Sharon was there to greet us and explain the colorful history of the house. She also had delicious chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. A lovely experience.
Have never stayed in a place this comfortable and thoughtful before. We have stayed in several places thru VRBO over the last several years and have never been so sad to leave one before. They thought of everything. We cooked several family meals in the wonderful, fully stocked kitchen. Our grown sons live in Paonia and they hung out there, and ate and watched movies with us. It was an even better family vacay experience because we all felt so at home there. We were able to walk to get groceries, eat at wonderful places, and even caught a yoga class on Sunday morning. There were such perfect instructions for everything I did not have any problems at all knowing how to leave things or where things were. I am getting sad just writing this because I miss it. I hope others will love it and respect it the way we did.
This was our first time staying at the Paonia farmhouse, and we hope to be back someday with our children. We used it as a base to bike all over the countryside, and when we came back, it was an easy walk into town for meals, and even a concert. Sharon was so welcoming that combined with the little touches in the home, you really do feel like a wanted guest. We have stayed in probably a dozen different vacation rentals all over the country, and this was by far our favorite!
The owners of this farm house were amazing!! They went way beyond the call of duty. They made us feel at home with fresh baked cookies, and a bowl of fresh locally grown apples. We enjoyed walking through the town each morning. The house was excellent. We will stay again. My husband got down in his back, (terrible thing to happen when you are on vacation) and Ms. Sharon was going to another town and she got him a back brace. She even brought over an ice pack. (Plus)......
Our stay was amazing!! Paonia is a great place to stay. Really close to the snow covered mountains. Very reasonably priced as well. We are proud of our choice. Ms. Sharon, may God bless you and your family richly!! In Chirst. Pastors Troy and Gina Powers from Tennessee.
A block from the charming old dowtown of Paonia. Walk everywhere. Coffee shops, cute little resturants and yummy health food stores and cafes. We will be back for Fall colors!
Looking for entertainment?
Walk one block to the center of town. Enjoy a concert, an art exhibit, even tai chi class at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts or listen to live music at Louie's Pizza.
The restored Paradise Theater offers movies and live shows. There are 12 restaurants in town ranging from French or Mexican to pizza. Local wineries offer wine tasting, tours, and delicious organic fruit, honeys, and jams.
Paonia is home to an eclectic array of painters, potters, glassblowers, and woodworkers. You'll even find a bronze art foundry. Many artists have works on display and for sale in town.

This video suggests that the only certain impact if John F. Kennedy lived beyond November 22, 1963 would have been a delay in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawing segregation, which was stalled in Congress when Kennedy was alive. The national desire to make meaning out of the tragedy of JFK's assassination led President Lyndon Johnson to link social justice, civil rights, outlawing segregation and eliminating poverty to the unfinished legacy of the the martyred Kennedy.
While it is true the Civil Rights Act probably would not have passed as quickly as June 1964, if Kennedy lived, the legislation almost certainly would have become law, perhaps not until after JFK's likely landslide victory over Republican Barry Goldwater in the 1964 election.
Many Kennedy fans believe JFK would not have dramatically escalated the war in Vietnam as Johnson did in 1965, with hundreds of thousands of ground troops and a quagmire until the United States experienced ignominious defeat in the 1970s. Instead, Kennedy might well have cut his losses and withdrawn from Vietnam, and tried to brace the United States for an eventual victory by the Vietnamese nationalist forces of Ho Chi Minh, who with economic aid he would have hoped to flip from alliances with the Soviet Union and Communist China.
Among ardent anti-communists, this would have created a backlash in the United States, a "Who Lost Vietnam?" campaign blaming Kennedy for weakness in the face of a global communist threat. But the failure of the domino theory, which predicted that once Vietnam fell to the communists, the rest of Southeast Asia -- including Thailand and the Philippines -- would also turn communist -- might have lent credibility to JFK's position that Vietnam was not central to America's strategic security interests or to the global struggle against communism.
"If JFK lived" has been the subject of many books, both fiction and non-fiction. An article in The Wire, a publication of Atlantic Media, called it "history's favorite guessing game."
No escalation in Vietnam; no counter-culture, no generation gap and no hippies; a successful war on poverty in the US, establishing a guaranteed annual income; a host of civil rights and gun control legislation; no race riots but large-scale racial reconciliation; rapprochement with Cuba and detente with the Soviet Union; no public disillusionment with government resulting from Vietnam and the Watergate scandal that didn't occur are some of the positive counter-factuals that might have occurred if Kennedy lived.
Or, scandalous revelations of Kennedy's reckless sexual behavior; he is implicated in the murder of Marilyn Monroe and his mafia ties are revealed (neither one of these connections has been proven); he is defeated in 1964 or impeached in 1965-67; no civil rights legislation is enacted; Vietnam becomes a quagmire (as it did. The space program is cancelled and the Soviets land the first man on the moon (Kennedy wasn't actually that confident the goal of landing a man on the moon could be met); acrimonious public divorce from Jackie; JFK's early death from Addison's Disease; and right-wing oppression in reaction to racial riots sparked by the lack of civil rights legislation are among the negative counter-factuals authors have tried to make credible if Kennedy lived.
One of the best or most credible alternate histories on JFK is by Jeff Greenfield, a journalist and former aide to Robert Kennedy: "If JFK Lived: The First and Second Terms of President John F. Kennedy."

The Fast Food Industry's 7 Most Heinous Concoctions
Although the organic movement has certainly started to influence how Americans think about their food, it is still no match for the American fast food industry, which continuously finds creative new ways of piling sugar, salt and fat on a plate and charging customers $4.99 for the privilege of eating it.
In recent years, in fact, some of America's favorite chains have gone above and beyond the call of duty and concocted thoroughly repellent dishes that make the Double Quarter Pounder look like a celery stick. These companies have offered Americans these revolting meals despite the fact that roughly one-third of the country is now obese, a deplorable state of affairs that accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers estimates costs the U.S. health-care system $200 billion a year in wasted spending.

The Welcome Wagon – Welcome to the Welcome Wagon
Asthmatic Kitty – Dec. 9, 2008
By Matthew Ralph
It apparently only took about a week for Asthmatic Kitty to sell out of its in-house stock of the first printing of Welcome Wagon's debut full-length "Welcome To The Welcome Wagon." Something tells me the glowing reviews and suggestion by some that it is essentially the latest Sufjan Stevens record may have had something to do with it.
Having written glowing reviews myself – both about the two rare live performances several years apart that they gave after first appearing on an Asthmatic Kitty compilation way back in 2001 – I was anxious and fortunate enough to get ahold of a copy from the first pressing.
The album, which is really worth buying in non-digital form because of its clever Sunday School-kitsch-style packaging, shouldn't really offer too many surprises for anyone fortunate to have caught them live. What is does offer – other than the obvious Sufjan stamp of approval – is an enjoyable collection of quirky covers and tender-hearted originals executed in that chaotically visionary way that has endeared so many to Sufjan's style in recent years.
Whether it's the soulful choir of voices backing "Deep Were His Wounds, and Red" and "Jesus," the retro showtune-esque renditions of The Smiths '"Half A Person" and Danielson's "Sold! To The Rich Man" or the sparse banjo-led hymn sing of "He Never Said A Mumblin' Word," the record offers a puzzling blend of gospel-fused Americana, perky Jesus Movement nostalgia and freak folk experimentation.
Explicitly Christian in approach and content – Sufjan's fans might recognize the name of the husband of the married couple duo, Presbyterian minister Vito Auito, from "Vito's Ordination Song" – The Welcome Wagon remind me of the soul-lifting quality and sincerity of the old-fashioned hymn sings of my youth (with the addition of several instruments, of course). Listening to their sing-along version of Lenny Smith's "But For You Who Fear My Name" it's hard to not grate on my wife's nerves by clapping and whistling along.
Given the hype surrounding The Welcome Wagon's introduction to a much wider audience, there are bound to be plenty of detractors who won't appreciate the explicitly church-y quality of it or find the quality of the instrumentation and vocal stylings up to snuff. But for those of us already sold on this not-so-little-anymore band, no amount of fanboy hype, however annoying it can be at times, could spoil what has been a long seven-year wait time coming.

Direct Compensation vs. Benefits
System of rewards is one of the key aspects in managing human resources within any organization. It has profound impact on attracting, retaining and motivation of employees and as a result on the overall performance of an organization. There is no doubt that employee compensation, which according to Dessler refers to all forms of pay or rewards going to employees, is the crucial factor in employee motivation. There are different two types of compensation: direct and indirect compensation. Direct compensation refers to monetary benefits offered and provided to employees in return for doing their job. The most common forms of direct compensation are wages, salaries, incentives, commissions and bonuses. Indirect compensation refers to pay in the form of financial benefits. [Dessler 390] All employee benefits can be divided into health, educational, employee incentive, family, lifestyle, recreational, government, retirement, savings, and transportation benefits. [http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/Eco-Ent/Employee-Benefits.html] A common distinction between direct and indirect forms of employee compensation is that the former creates an employee's standard of living, whereas the latter protects that standard of living. [http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/Eco-Ent/Employee-Benefits.html] Benefits is a very important and powerful instrument used in employee recruitment, retention, motivation, performance, and satisfaction, however for businesses it is more expensive to provide benefits to employees than use direct compensation. And while some benefits, such as government sanctioned ones, for example pension plans, are mandatory, the majority are supplementary, the availability of supplementary benefits is dependent on a business's compensation structure. Each company has to decide what is more valuable, therefore more motivating, for its workers and what is more cost-effective for the company - to provide benefits or simply add more direct pay. This decision depends on a number of factors, but most importantly on the size of a company, according to Benefits Quarterly. [http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/encyclopedia/Eco-Ent/Employee-Benefits.html]
2.Approaches to motivation and compensation
Over the past hundred years a number of theories have been developed that attempt to describe human motivation. The most popular theories - Taylor's Theory of Scientific Management and Maslow's Hierarchy of needs theory are discussed below. 2.1 Theory of Scientific Management
In 1911 american engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor published one of the earliest motivational theories. In his work Principles of Scientific Management Taylor put forward the idea that workers are motivated mainly by pay, so according to his approach employees should be paid based on their productivity. From his observations, Taylor made the following key assumptions about human behaviour at work:
1)Man is behaving as "economically rational actor" concerned with his own best economic interests; 2)People respond as individuals, not as groups;
3)People can be treated in a standardised fashion, like machines. [http://wikiofscience.wikidot.com/science:motivation#toc9]
Based on these assumptions Taylor devised the scientific system that required division of labour, the breaking down of production into a series of small tasks that could then be timed and rated. Then it should be specified exactly how each task is to be done and workers should be given appropriate training and tools so they could work as efficiently as possible on one set task. Workers are then paid according to the number of items they produce in a set period of time- piece-rate pay. As a result workers were encouraged to work hard and maximise their productivity. [http://tutor2u.net/business/gcse/people_motivation_theories.htm] Taylor also standardised the role of management, including setting managers apart from operations and giving them more...

Press Cmd-2 to open the Library tab in the Utility window; then select the Particle Emitters icon in the Library.
Select the Pyro category of particle emitters; then select the Corona emitter from the list in the lower pane of the Library.

According to Time, teens aren't drinking as much as they used to:
http://time.com/4776249/teen-drinking-l ... years-cdc/
I don't know that I would be inclined to give much weight to that, though. They referenced surveying the youth. I remember such surveys, when I was a teenager. I was given them to fill out, on more than one occasion.
Oh, I filled them out, as I was told. However, I lied. I know that I'm not the only one who has ever done so, either; these things were discussed, later. They were administered at school, and I did not believe that they were anonymous, as they told me. So, according to the survey that I turned in, I was a perfect angel. I wasn't about to possibly and inadvertently rat myself out. And, most of my peers were of the same mindset.
I'd say that catching untethered teens at the mall would be a better method of obtaining input (especially if you offer them money to do it), but do teens hang out at malls, anymore? Or have the malls, that still exist, put and end to that?

We would like to present a very special coaching offer to all members of PokerStrategy.com, straight from well-known tournament expert and WCOOP Super High Roller winner bencb.
He has developed his own Tournament Masterclass training that promises to help any ambitious player to reach the highest online tournament stakes with a unique coaching approach.
If you don't know bencb yet, he is one of the most successful online tournament players to date and has won millions of dollars at the virtual felt. Last year, he was able to take down the first online tournament with a six-figure buy-in, even beating the current most successful live tournament player Fedor 'CrownUpGuy' Holz heads-up.
Besides his huge passion for poker, bencb is also a very passionate coach that takes a lot of pride in helping other players to reach their full potential. Therefore, he also started his own specialised online coaching site Raise Your Edge. After we've already seen the release of world class SNG content at RYE, the offer has now been expanded to MTTs with his unique Tournament Masterclass.
A free trial for everyone
The free introductory video to the course provides you with all the information you need in order to decide whether the Tournament Masterclass is a fitting offer for your level of play or not.
While beginners, who just started out playing poker, won't be able to take away a lot from the detailed considerations and approaches being presented by bencb, advanced players with a solid mindset can certainly profit immensely from the content of the Masterclass training videos.
Specifically, you can expect to be assisted in your learning progress right from the start, without throwing you into the deep end. You will learn how to make good decisions for a wide range of different situations, which is the one skill that really forms a strong and fearsome poker player. More importantly, you will learn how to make better decisions than your opponents or other winning players.
The standard approach is to follow a GTO game plan (Game Theory Optimal) against unknown players that is based on population tendencies. As soon as we have more information on a specific opponent, we can make use of that in order to exploit them as best as possible. The difficult part is to realise quickly when to do exactly what, and that's one of the main questions the Tournament Masterclass will provide an answer for.
Become a tournament master
Additionally, the Tournament Masterclass will also show you how to become your very own coach. Still, too many players tend to neglect this aspect of a successful poker career, mostly because they don't know how to analyse their own game effectively.
The Tournament Masterclass will teach you how to find, analyse and filter out your own leaks, providing you with the big advantage to improve yourself just by being willing to work on your game.
The more work you invest into finding and identifying problems in your game, the less opportunity your opponents will have to exploit you. Of course, as with any serious coaching approach, you will get some "home work" and need to be willing to put in individual work before continuing the class after each video. However, a "call to action" will always put you in the right direction.
An extensive tournament package
Since it's a very extensive coaching package, it's not possible to efficiently present the entirety of the provided learning content.
In short, the most important aspects of the Tournament Masterclass are:
- More than 25 hours of video content
- A step by step guide on pre-flop, post-flop and ICM play
- Simple rules and guidelines that you can implement in your game right away
- Ranges for the most important pre-flop scenarios
- When to play according to GTO and when to play exploitive
- Methods and home work to work on your own game
- A healthy mix of theoretical and practical content
- How to master challenging close spots
- How to keep the game simple while still always being one step ahead
- All the secrets, hints and experiences bencb has been able to collect during his entire poker career
- New and updated content on a regular basis

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) November 13, 2009 -- Demand from new and existing nuclear power stations is set to drive the coolant pump market. It is expected that about 43 new reactors will come online during the period 2009-2015, which indicates a growth in demand for coolant pumps worldwide. There will also be significant demand for coolant pumps in the aftermarket as many of the existing reactors will require replacement as they complete 30 years of life online. Hence, aftermarket will also play a key role in the coolant pump sector growth.
The key driver for the nuclear coolant pump market is the growing nuclear power generation. In the medium term, upto 2015, major nuclear industry expansion will primarily be from those countries which already have nuclear power generation facilities. The industry expansion is hence one of the key driving forces for the growth of the nuclear coolant pump market. It is estimated that there is notable demand for coolant pumps in the foremarket. More than 40 countries are planning to develop nuclear commercial power facilities in the long term which will positively contribute to the growth of the commercial nuclear market.
For further details on this report, please follow the link below:
The European and Asia Pacific regions are expected to show strong demand for nuclear coolant pumps between 2009 and 2015. Europe is a key market for the coolant pump industry as many of the existing reactors will require coolant pump replacement. During 2009â2015, the European region is expected to show the highest demand of 336 coolant pump units followed by the Asia Pacific region with 148 units and the North American region with 108 units. Increased demand from these regions will result in sustained growth of the nuclear coolant pump market.
Year-on-year demand for coolant pumps around the globe is expected to rise from 2009 through 2015. During this period, this number is expected to rise from 48 in 2009 to 108 in 2015, growing at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 13.51%. This market is expected to reach $1,520 m in 2015, growing at an AAGR of 18.39% between 2009 and 2015. Increased replacement of coolant pumps within the abovementioned period will contribute to high growth of this market.
For further details on this report, please follow the link below:
Leading players such as Areva NP, Westinghouse and Curtiss Wright Corporation are set to benefit from the growth within the coolant pumps market. Europe has some of the major nuclear industry companies, as this region has the largest number of operating nuclear reactors in the world. The major players in this sector include Areva NP and KSB Aktiengesellschaft, which will be the potential beneficiaries of the high demand for coolant pumps. These European players will be the key companies to benefit from the market growth due to better capabilities and long standing experience in this market.

British actress Jane Birkin – is requesting that the designer brand remove her name from their bags.
In a statement via Yahoo! News, Birkin said: "Having been alerted to the cruel practices reserved for crocodiles during their slaughter to make Hermes handbags carrying my name, I have asked Hermes to debaptize the Birkin Croco until better practices in line with international norms can be put in place."
PETA had recently highlighted the practice: "At just one year old, alligators are shot with a captive-bolt gun or crudely cut into while they're still conscious and able to feel pain… The investigator saw alligators continuing to move their legs and tails in the bleed rack and in bloody ice bins several minutes after their attempted slaughter."
A Hermes Birkin bag costs about $60,000, although according to Us Weekly a pink croc skin bag went for $223,000 at an auction.
How Birkin got a bag named after her: "Birkin, the former lover of famous French singer Serge Gainsbourg, inspired the handbag after sitting next to Hermes' late chairman Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight in 1981 from Paris to London. Dumas witnessed contents from Birkin's purse falling from the plane's overhead compartment, and she proceeded to complain about the structure of her handbag. Three years later, Hermes created a custom-designed bag for Birkin – and it has remained one of the most coveted luxury accessories since its conception."
Hermes released the following statement to Us Weekly: "Jane Birkin has expressed her concerns regarding practices for slaughtering crocodiles. Her comments do not in any way influence the friendship and confidence that we have shared for many years. Hermès respects and shares her emotions and was also shocked by the images recently broadcast…. An investigation is underway at the Texas farm which was implicated in the video. Any breach of rules will be rectified and sanctioned. Hermès specifies that this farm does not belong to them and that the crocodile skins supplied are not used for the fabrication of Birkin bags."

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESv.BETHLEHEM STEEL CORPORATION, APPELLANT
Paul A. Manion, Pittsburgh, for appellant.
Robert E. Yuhnke, Harrisburg, for appellee.
Jones, C. J., and Eagen, O'Brien, Roberts, Pomeroy and Manderino, JJ. Manderino, J., concurs in result. Nix, J., did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
Author: Roberts
[ 469 Pa. Page 583]
This is an appeal from an order of the Commonwealth Court overruling preliminary objections of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation (Bethlehem) to the petition of the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) seeking enforcement of a consent order.*fn1 The order provides that, in certain circumstances, Bethlehem may apply to DER for modification, and that any action taken on such an application can be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) and the courts. The question before us today is whether the Commonwealth Court has jurisdiction to entertain an action for enforcement of the consent order during the pendency of an appeal from DER's decision to deny an application for modification.*fn2 We conclude that it does, and affirm.
[ 469 Pa. Page 584]
The consent order is an air pollution abatement order agreed to by DER and Bethlehem, after extensive negotiations, on February 25, 1972. DER approved air pollution abatement plans submitted by Bethlehem to implement the order. These plans required Bethlehem to cease operation of its Franklin Coke Oven Battery No. 17 at its Johnstown Plant by May 31, 1975. Bethlehem also was required to submit an application for a permit to construct equipment to control emissions at Coke Oven Battery No. 5 at its Bethlehem Plant by March 1, 1975.
By the terms of the consent order, Bethlehem is entitled to apply for modification of the order or the modification plans in certain circumstances. If DER rejects the application for modification, Bethlehem may appeal to the EHB and the courts.*fn3 On September 17, 1973,
[ 469 Pa. Page 585]
Bethlehem applied for an extension of time to continue operating Franklin Coke Oven Battery No. 17 at its Johnstown Plant beyond the scheduled termination date. DER denied this application on February 18, 1975, and Bethlehem appealed to the EHB.
In the meantime, Bethlehem adopted a change in corporate planning which called for continued operation of the Franklin Coke Oven Batteries, and efforts were made to negotiate a resolution of the differences between Bethlehem and DER. Bethlehem also applied for an extension of time for compliance with the plans relating to Coke Oven Battery No. 5 at its Bethlehem Plant. DER denied this application on March 6, 1975.
On May 15, 1975, after further negotiations, Bethlehem submitted to DER proposed modifications of the original abatement plans applicable to both the Coke Oven Battery No. 5 at its Bethlehem Plant and to the Franklin Coke Oven Battery No. 17 at its Johnstown Plant. As this application superseded its earlier application, Bethlehem stipulated to dismissal of the earlier appeal pending before the EHB. On June 16, 1975, DER denied Bethlehem's latest requests for modification, and Bethlehem's appeal to the EHB from this denial is still pending.
Finally, on July 25, 1975, DER filed a petition to enforce the consent order in the Commonwealth Court. Bethlehem filed preliminary objections, raising jurisdictional
[ 469 Pa. Page 586]
questions, which were overruled by the Commonwealth Court.
A. DER's petition to enforce the order was brought pursuant to section 10(a) of the Air Pollution Control Act.*fn4 This section authorizes petitions to enforce a DER order "from which no timely appeal has been taken or which has been sustained on appeal."*fn5 Since the order DER seeks to enforce was reached by consent of the parties it is an order "from which no timely appeal has been taken" and therefore is enforceable in the Commonwealth Court.
Bethlehem insists that the order cannot be enforced in the Commonwealth Court pending the outcome of its appeal of DER's denial of its application to modify the order. But it is the DER decision not to modify the order, rather than the order itself, which Bethlehem has appealed to the EHB. The original air pollution abatement order remains in effect, and is still an order from which no timely appeal has been taken. Therefore, DER can ...

Lisa, how can I prevent a hip fracture and strengthen my bones?
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that 24% of all falls are from muscle weakness and unsteady balance. This will result in 61% experiencing their first hip fracture and death will result from approximately 1,800 of those falls. Hip fracture surgery cost approximately $50,000 to $70,000 with the national average approximately $17,000.
There is a vitamin called Vitamin D 3. It is nicked named the Sunshine Pill. This vitamin has evidence-based research that shows it can help lessen the risk of falls and hip fractures by 30% when taken. Vitamin D3 deficiency will cause symptoms of
· Weakness
· Loss of balance
· Muscle wasting
· Cognitive or memory problems
· Nervous system disorders
To test to see if there is a Vitamin D3 deficiency, a blood test called Vitamin D 25-hydroxyvitamin (25 OH) is done. The approximate cost is about $40. A level under 30 is considered a Vitamin D3 deficiency.
To correct the deficiency
· A correcting dose of Vitamin D3 50,000 IU need to be taken once a week.
· Upon completing the 8 weeks, the Vitamin D3 (25 OH) level is tested again.
· Once the Vitamin D3 deficiency is corrected, a daily Vitamin D3 maintenance dose of 1,000 IU is taken.
The total cost of a Vitamin D3 deficiency is approximately $200 a year. This is a very inexpensive method for preventing falls and bone fractures. Other evidence-based research shows that the Sunshine Pill may have preventative measures with depression, cancer, and asthma in children.

This stage was all about looking over previous work for inspiration and for ideas to redo into new work. I started by filtering out the most boring stuff and laying out the rest on the couch and floor.
I then narrowed down the field to the pieces that were sparking ideas
As I'm only really working 4 new ideas I narrowed down further and overlapped the pages so that only the parts I wanted to work with were showing.

Another lovely review from last weekend :)
I just wanted to thank you so much for a wonderful weekend, last week. We were all completely overwhelmed by the beauty and peace of the place. The yurt and Tipi are gorgeous- and perfectly equipped- the location is breath taking. It was all a bit like a dream... : )
Everyone loved it so much- and it will be a memory to treasure for the rest of ours lives.
On the Sunday before we left, we even had a swim in the plunge pool nearby. Bliss!
I cannot tell you how glad I am that I heard about your site before arranging my sisters Hen Do. I don't think I'll ever run out of brownie points!!

Thanks in advance.
This is a direct result of not changing
the O2 sensor as recomended what the sensor does for the car is to monitor the exhaust and resirculate the unburn gas. at the same time, tells the computer to udjust the air fuel mixture. all this calculation is happening in 1000 of a second
so u dont even notice it. but the sensor ability to do this deminish asit get old until it can not keep up .iventually all this unburn gas will eventually clog your catalytic converter. if iwere
u i will replace this two item before you risk a car fire and loose your precious M I dont mean to scare you but you have your warning refrain from driving the car until you have it check by your mechanic

I thought I would have a little fun and give-away one of our new candles that has not been named yet. The contest is to name our new candle. I am going to lend a hand and explain a bit about the essential oils in the candle. The candle is a blend of grapefruit, cedarwood, geranium and oakmoss essential oils.
This candle smells truly amazing!
Grapefruit: From the citrus family. Has an energizing and uplifting scent
Cedarwood: The scent is woody. Promotes restful sleep and reduces anxiety and tension
Geranium: The scent is rose like. Known to be a stimulant and mood uplifting
Oakmoss: The scent is earthy-mossy. Kind of comforting and grounding. Used in Witchcraft for Money Spells! ( I am not joking )
Keep these in mind when thinking of a name. The names of our other aromatherapy candles are: Clarity, Inspiration, Harmony, Balance and Calming
We will run the contest until April 17th and pick a winner over that weekend.
Thank you for participating,
Anne Keefe

Everything ostentatious
causes me pain,
like your smile
that was meant for someone else.
Though when I'm standing right there
you don't accept my empathy.
I try to be different.
I try to be the one.
When you talk with me for one day,
the others just fall apart.
Neither of us are stable,
though I don't know who's weak.
All I know and believe is,
because of you
life is just a dream

PATRICIA JAMES,PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Suzanne H. Segal United States Magistrate Judge
Patricia James ("Plaintiff") brings this action seeking to overturn the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (hereinafter the "Commissioner" or the "Agency") denying her application for Supplemental Security Income ("SSI"). The parties consented, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), to the jurisdiction of the undersigned United States Magistrate Judge. For the reasons stated below, the decision of the Commissioner is AFFIRMED.
Plaintiff filed an application for SSI on April 30, 2007. (Administrative Record ("AR") 14, 56-57). She alleged a disability onset date of April 24, 2007 (AR 14, 107), for arthritis, a left arm injury, and depression. (AR 106-07).
The Agency denied Plaintiff's application initially on October 9, 2007, and on reconsideration on December 20, 2007. (AR 58-62, 66-70). Plaintiff then requested a hearing, which was held before Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Lowell Fortune on March 20, 2009. (AR 22). Plaintiff appeared with counsel and testified at the hearing. (AR 22-55).
On September 9, 2009, the ALJ issued a decision denying benefits. (AR 14-21). Plaintiff sought review of the ALJ's decision before the Appeals Council (AR 9-10), which denied her request on July 19, 2011. (AR 1-4). Plaintiff commenced the instant action on September 19, 2011.
Plaintiff was born on August 21, 1961, and was forty-seven years old at the time of the hearing. (AR 26). She has a twelfth-grade education, and speaks, reads, and writes English. (AR 48, 106, 110). Plaintiff's past work experience has been as a janitor. (AR 107-08).
A. Plaintiff's Medical History
Plaintiff arrived at the emergency room of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center ("ARMC") on June 11, 2007, complaining of back and hip pain. (See AR 134-36). X-rays of her lumbar spine and right hip were normal. (AR 207). She was diagnosed with sciatica, a condition that usually "improves greatly with conservative treatment." (AR 135).
On January 8, 2008, Plaintiff was assessed by Drs. Miulli and Panchal in the Neurosurgery Clinic at ARMC. (AR 202-03). They noted Plaintiff's "chief complaint of lower back pain" and performed a physical and neurological examination. They also noted that an MRI showed "degenerative disk disease with mild central canal stenosis [at] L3 through 4" and "[d]egenerative disk disease and facet joint disease with moderate central canal and neural foraminal stenosis at L4 through 5." (AR 202; see AR 204-06). They diagnosed Plaintiff with "[r]ight L3 radiculitis with possible radiculopathy versus pain" and a "[p]soas spur." (AR 203). They recommended that Plaintiff see her primary care physician to begin treatment with Naprosyn and Robaxin, that Plaintiff receive nerve stimulation treatment, and that she receive physical therapy three times per week. (Id.).
Plaintiff underwent an outpatient physical therapy evaluation at ARMC that day (January 8, 2008). (AR 197-98). Plaintiff complained of pain in her back and was found to have "limited and painful" rotation of her hips and limited range of motion in her lumbar spine. (AR 197). The physical therapist believed Plaintiff's "rehab potential" was fair and that a limiting factor was her compliance. (AR 198).
A medical report completed by N. Pham at the San Bernardino Transitional Assistance Department on September 30, 2008, relayed that Plaintiff was temporarily incapacitated due to low back pain from September 30, 2008, through January 30, 2009. (AR 224). More tests were necessary "before the degree and permanence of the incapacity [could] be determined." (Id.). There do not appear to be any treatment notes accompanying this report.
Plaintiff was evaluated by Dr. Jothen on November 25, 2008. She was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease and herniated nucleus pulposus at L3-L4 and L4-L5. (AR 221). It was recommended that she receive an epidural facet joint block and follow up with her primary care physician for pain control. (Id.). Dr. Miulli recommended facet joint injections on January 6, 2009. (AR 220).
On February 5, 2009, Plaintiff was seen at ARMC for an "initial consultation for chronic pain." (AR 216-17). She was diagnosed with an "L4-L5 disk bulge with mild to moderate facet hypertrophy," "mild to moderate canal stenosis," "[b]ilateral neuroforaminal stenosis," and "[m]ultiple degenerative disk disease canal foraminal stenosis." (AR 217). Plaintiff was scheduled for epidural steroid injections, which she received on February 18, 2009 (AR 215), "[c]autioned on overuse of narcotics," and prescribed ibuprofen and Neurontin. (AR 217).
On February 24, 2009, a nurse practitioner at ARMC Rehabilitation Services evaluated Plaintiff for use of a front wheel walker. Plaintiff was noted to have an unsteady gait and bilateral lower extremity weakness. Plaintiff's goals were to increase strength and become capable of independent ambulation. (AR 225). Plaintiff was prescribed a front wheel walker on April 9, 2009. (AR 227).
On January 21, 2011, Plaintiff underwent surgery at ARMC to excise an intervertebral disc (laminectomy). Her principal diagnosis was *fn1 "[d]isplacement of lumbar intervertebral disc without myelopathy." (AR 236, see 535-37). She also had L3-L4 and L4-L5 stenosis, and left L4-L5 radiculitis and radiculopathy with "failed non-operative treatment in the past." (AR 535). The surgeons found that Plaintiff had "severe central canal and lateral foraminal stenosis at L3, L4 and L5," "severe degenerative disk disease," and that the "disk space was so small [they] could barely get [their] instruments into the disk space." (Id.). Plaintiff "did well" after her operation and ...
