Emblem Health Careers
EmblemHealth is set on being the mark of good health in the Northeast. The not-for-profit company provides health insurance through subsidiaries Group Health Incorporated (GHI) and the Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP). Collectively, the two health insurers cover some 2.8 million New Yorkers, primarily state government and New York City employees. The two companies cover upwards of 90% of Big Apple city workers and retirees. Both provide a variety of managed health plans to their members, including prescription drug and dental coverage, and Medicare plans. GHI and HIP joined together under the EmblemHealth banner in 2006.
Geographic Reach
Along with its operations in New York, EmblemHealth offers health coverage in Connecticut and western Massachusetts through ConnectiCare, which has about a quarter of a million members.
Financial Analysis
The insurer's revenue declined 1% in 2011 vs. 2010, on a drop in premium income. Net income fell nearly 12% over the same period. While the cost of benefits provided declined in 2011 vs. 2010, administrative costs and a loss on the sale of real estate holdings squeezed the EmblemHealth's bottom line.
EmblemHealth is expanding its menu of care management programs for members with chronic and acute medical conditions. In 2011 it simplified its portfolio of commercial plans and introduced new products to better meet its customers' needs. It launched a mobile version of its find a doctor search tool with built-in GPS and further enhanced its mobile site with new functionality that lets members view or email their ID cards from their smartphones. Members can also pay premiums online. Also in 2011 the insurer discontinued some products and updated its EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) and PPO plans with new cost-sharing options favored by many businesses seeking to maintain coverage at a lower cost.
Following the 2006 merger, EmblemHealth began exploring transforming itself into a for-profit, publicly traded company. (Under state law governing for-profit conversions, the company's stock would at first belong to the state, which would reap the benefits of the initial stock sale. Going public could potentially give the insurer easier access to capital, which it believes would enhance its ability to compete against large national insurers.) However, concerns raised by the city of New York and some health care activists and unfavorable market conditions stalled the long-talked about IPO. – less

Derek Jeter reached a milestone last night that allowed him to take another step with Yankee royalty, a fraternity he long ago joined.
Sore-shouldered Andy Pettitte wasn't as fortunate, since he established a career-high for losses when he was saddled with a 6-2 defeat by the White Sox last night in front of 52,558 at Yankee Stadium.
And the Yankees took another step toward elimination as well as the end of the current Yankee Stadium, which closes Sunday. The Yankees' tragic number against the Red Sox is three and four versus the Devil Rays.
Jeter's first-inning single pushed him to the top of the Stadium's hit list with 1,270. Jeter, who went 2-for-3, started the game tied with Yankees icon Lou Gehrig.
Pettitte, one of the premier second-half pitchers in baseball history, continued a post All-Star break slide. His fifth straight loss lowered his record to 13-14. Pettitte had never lost more than 13 games in a professional season. He was 14-13 for the Astros two seasons ago.
In six innings Pettitte allowed four runs and seven hits. In Pettitte's last five starts he is 0-5 with a 6.91 ERA.
Pettitte, who underwent an MRI on his left shoulder this past weekend, is slated to start the final game at the current Stadium Sunday. Since his shoulder is barking, that could be the reason Joe Girardi replaced him with Jose Veras after Pettitte threw a season-low 77 pitches.
"I don't like to talk about it because I feel, no matter how I feel, that I should win," Pettitte said Monday about the shoulder. "I just think I need an off-season."
Jeter needed a little help from the official scorer to pass Gehrig for the most hits in the current Yankee Stadium's history.
Jeter hit a grounder to White Sox third baseman Juan Uribe in the first inning with Johnny Damon on first and no outs.
Uribe played what could have been a double play ball to the side and it went under his glove. Bill Shannon ruled it a hit and Jeter had his 1,270th hit at the Stadium.
"The ball skidded on him and he couldn't stop it," Shannon said of the decision to not give Uribe an error.
Gehrig was on top of the list since Sept. 6, 1937 according to Elias Sports Bureau. The hit came in Jeter's 8,002 at-bat as a Yankee and put him ahead of Gehrig into second place on the all-time club list. Mickey Mantle leads with 8,102.
A problem that is the biggest reason the Yankees won't play next month surfaced when the Yankees went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position.
White Sox starter Gavin Floyd went seven innings, allowed nine hits and two runs. He is 16-7.

text: Rare Feathers Farm is proud to offer: 6+ Hatching eggs from my rare breeds flock. These eggs are from my standard Black Sumatra pen. These are QUALITY birds from two select breeders, combined into one breeding program (mine!) None of my birds have come from hatcheries. My breeding rooster has three spurs per leg (I have to keep them trimmed to protect my hens, though). Both sexes have bright yellow soles of their feet. PLEASE NOTE: This line is an exhibition one, NOT hatchery stock. These birds have not only been chosen for their type but also for their temperament. These are NOT "fighting lines" and are sold for legal purposes only. One of my pullets won RESERVE BEST OF BREED in March at the Cascade Spring Poultry Show in Monroe, Washington! So far I have 100% fertility and 100% hatch rate with these here on the farm and 85% with shipped eggs! These birds have very friendly, highly intelligent temperaments. They are very curious, too. They are a joy to have around and the girls lay right through the hottest part of the summer! FAST PAYMENT IS CRITICAL IN GETTING THESE MAILED OUT IN A TIMELY MANNER! That said, if you need extra time to pay or you want eggs but are not quite ready--please order from my website and let me know. I'm more than happy to make arrangements for a later ship date on non-auction eggs! The eggs are fertile & shipped fresh! Fine Print: I guarantee fresh and fertile eggs of the breed auctioned. However, I cannot guarantee hatch-ability due to many variables out of my control after the eggs leave my farm--such as shipping & handling, incubation equipment, and incubation methods. Please remember I am not a 24-hour fast food place where you can order and expect service immediately! I am doing this as a hobby and I work as fast and efficiently as the time allows. I do have a 40+ hour per week "real job." I cannot guarantee specific availability dates, as I cannot guarantee the laying rate of each of the many breeds that I have. I will get to each and every person that places an order - in the order the date that I receive that order through the web store. PAYMENT AND SHIPPING POLICY: PayPal only please, NO E-CHECKS! Eggs are TIME-SENSITIVE & CANNOT SIT AROUND FOR A WEEK WAITING FOR CHECKS TO CLEAR without comprising hatch-ability! Please READ THIS & UNDERSTAND PRIOR TO BIDDING! I ONLY SHIP WITHIN THE U.S. SORRY, I CANNOT SHIP TO HAWAII, PR OR ASIA, EITHER! Payment must be received within 2 days of auction end or item will be re-listed & negative feedback WILL be left! Sorry, but eggs are time-sensitive. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY HATCHING!

Head Lice is a parasite found on the heads of people. Spread through close contact with someone who has head lice, or by sharing personal items with someone who has head lice. It causes itching of the scalp. It can appear in different forms: Nits, which are lice eggs firmly attached to the hair, are oval in shape and white. Lice are tan to grayish white, wingless, insects, about the size of a sesame seed. They do not fly or jump. The child must receive treatment with medicated shampoo especially designed to kill lice, before returning to school. The household should also be treated: vacuumed, linens washed in hot water and stuffed animals put in plastic bags for one week. Other households members should be treated.
Myth vs. Fact
MYTH: Head lice is due to poor personal hygiene.
FACT : Head lice is not connected to poor personal hygiene. In fact, head lice prefer clean scalps to dirty ones. If your child gets head lice, it has nothing to do with how clean you keep your home or how well you care for your child. However, if your child gets head lice, it is important that you meticulously clean your environment to avoid reinfestation.
MYTH : Head lice spread by hopping, jumping, or flying.
FACT : Head lice cannot hop, jump, or fly. They can crawl at a rate of 12 inches per minute. They are spread by direct contact with an infected person or by sharing personal items such as baseball batting helmets, brushes, hats, combs, headphones, mattresses, pillows, or upholstered furniture.
MYTH : Only children can get head lice.
FACT : Anyone can get head lice. While it is true that head lice infestation is more common in children between the ages of five and twelve, parents must also take precautions. While checking for head lice in their children, they should not run their fingers through their own hair.
Basic Facts About Head Lice
- Tiny, wingless, insects that live exclusively in the human scalp and feed on human blood.
- Eggs of the louse are called "nits", which look like tiny whitish spots "glued" firmly to the hair shaft. Female adult head lice lay 100-400 nits during their 30-days as an adult. The nits hatch in 7-10 days. Click here to see photos of nits.
- Nits hatch into "nymphs" which are young head lice. Once the nymphs reach adulthood (in 9-12 days), the life cycle starts all over again, with female head lice laying more eggs.
How to Prevent Head Lice
- Teach your child not to share personal items - combs, brushes, pillows, sleeping bags, sports headgear.
- During "sleepovers", don't let the children share pillows, or sleeping bags.
- Check your children for head lice or nits on a regular basis.
The Four-Step Process to Eliminate Head Lice
- Inspect your child for head lice and nits.
- If you find head lice, apply a head lice-killing treatment.
- Remove head lice and nits.
- Eliminate all possible sources of re-infestation from home environment.
How to Know if Your Child has Head Lice
- Itching of the head is the most common symptom.
- Look for red marks on scalp or neck.
- Closely inspect child's scalp. Head lice are tiny and run from lights so are harder to see, but nits are tiny whitish spots.
- Nits can be mistaken for dandruff but unlike dandruff, they cannot be brushed off or removed by washing. They are "glued" firmly to the hair shaft.
What to Do if Your Child has Head Lice
- Treat immediately with Rid or other lice-killing shampoo. Follow direction as directed. Some brands are applied to wet hair, brands differ. Please read and follow instructions that come with shampoo. All nits must then be removed. A fine-tooth comb is provided in the Rid box and is helpful. Directions on a technique is included on the box.
- Immediately report your child's head lice to the school nurse. She will need to look for head lice in other children at school to minimize spreading.
- Check the other members of your family and treat if necessary.
Preventing Re-infestation
- Vacuum all rooms and furniture.
- All washable items that have come contact with the affected person should be washed in hot water and dried in the dryer turned to the highest heat for at least 20 minutes.
- Items, like stuffed animals and sofa covers, that can't be washed, should be dry cleaned or sealed in a plastic airtight bag for at least 14 days.
- Combs and hairbrushes should be soaked in hot water for at least 10 minutes and then strands of hair and other debris should be removed with an old toothbrush.
Emotional Support for Parents
- Give yourself a break- you are not the first parent to experience head lice infestation. Talk with friends who have been through this-they can be a great source of strength and support.
- Recognize denial could make problem worse.
Emotional Support for Children
- Handle your lice-infested children sensitively.
- Reassure them it is not their fault.
- Give your child the facts about head lice.
- Show your child you care about his or her feelings.
- Assure them that the problem can be resolved.
- Convey a positive, upbeat attitude.

IMS: Global biotech sales up 12.5% in 2007
The biotech drug market grew by 12.5% to more than $75 billion in 2007, according to an IMS Health report. In 2006 the biotech market grew by 18.2%, to roughly $65 billion.
Profits last year were driven in large part by 22 biotech products each garnering $1 billion or more in sales. By comparison, in 2002 there were only six such blockbusters, according to IMS Health.
Outside of the US, the biotech market fell by approximately 10%. "Part of the reason for the [global] slowdown, has been the impact of revisions of usage and guidelines on [erythropoiesis stimulating agents] by the FDA. That has made a significant impact, and is a primary reason," said Murray Aitken, SVP, Healthcare Insight, IMS. Murray notes that safety concerns surrounding erythropoietins have made a big impact as well. The US represented 56% of total biotech sales in 2007,
According to the IMS Health data, Amgen (Enbrel, Aranesp, Neulasta, Epogen) was the leading biotech manufacturer in both sales and market share for 2007, at $1.6 billion and 21.3% respectively. Roche/Genentech (Mabthera/Rituxan, Herceptin, Avastin) was second, followed by Johnson & Johnson (Remicade, Erypo/Procrit), Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Sanofi-Aventis. By the end of 2009, IMS Health is predicting several potential blockbusters to emerge, which could have sales of $1 billion or more. Numax, a respiratory syncytial virus manufactured by MedImmune (which was recently acquired by AstraZeneca), is one potential blockbuster. Others include Centocore's ustekinumab, Amgen's denosumab, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Ipilimumab, and the Novartis vaccine Menveo.
Of the top 10 therapy classes in the biotech market, erythropoietins led the category, followed by oncologics, antidiabetics, autoimmune agents and interferons, according to IMS Health. Murray says there continues to be an enormous amount of development in the oncology field, combined with significant unmet neets.
Despite significant strides, IMS Health predicts that the biotech industry will cool. Biosimilars are one of the major factors limiting growth in the market. "The regulatory pathway is being clarified by the [European Medicines Agency]," said Murray. Despite manufacturing challeges - genetically engineered protein, for example--Murray says manufacturers are moving forward. "The notion that only a very small number of companies could produce biotech products is no longer true," he said.

- Return to Gems
Explanation for abundance of already-cut gems
- One possible theory behind the gems' common existence as they appear in the television series is that some ancient race, pony or otherwise, may have been burying these gems for some kind of reason. This is very similar to the existence of Energon deposits on planet Earth in the Transformers universe. In one canon continuity, it is explained that ancient Cybertronians waged many battles on Earth during prehistory, and hid their Energon spoils all over the planet. Hope(N Forever) (talk) 03:59, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
- My guess just conveniance. Simular to Zelda games where rupees can be found both over and underground at various places and enemies, in yet they are always hexagonal cut no matter where they are. I noticed the Sapphires in Sisterhooves Social appear slightly oddly shaped which I think is suppose to be like they were untamed gems.--Mystic Monkey is a proud MonoBook Wikian. 23:11, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
- This would fit in well with the Crystal Ponies of Season 3. Dogman15 (talk) 02:50, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
- Personally, I think that gems seem to be so common and easy to find because (unlike in the real world) they are a renewable resource. Specifically, I follow the common theory that gems in Equestria are actually a kind of crystalized magic that grows as quickly as a fungus. Think about it: dragons EAT gemstones, and if there were a limited amount of gems in the world, they probably would have run out a long time ago, not to mention that the Cakes were able obtain several sapphires and make a cupcake out of them with seemingly little to no financial difficulty. Dinodude0091 00:13, March 4, 2012 (UTC)
Spike mentions in one episode that he grew a gem, specifically the fire ruby.
- I think in Fallout:Equestria there was a brilliant theory that the rock farm PP grew on was actually for harvesting gems grown inside the boulders.
I believe a possible reason behind the pre-cut gems is due to the fact (or at least due to certain observations) that everything considered "normal" in Equestria either requires Pony's to do it themselves or is already done for convenience. For example: It doesn't rain or storm or anything else weather related unless a Pegasus decides they want it to or are told to change it; this is very convenient becuause tornadoes, snow storms, and the like would be bothersome. Another example would include how the apple trees of Equestria seem to have apples on them every day of the year. We've already seen Applejack completely "buck" all the trees on her land before, and yet most episodes with her feature them full of apples. Reason: It is more convenient (and profitable) to have food available at almost any given moment. If this doesn't make sense, just look at the Everfree forest; it is considered abnormal simply because the weather, animals, and nature do their own thing like it does on Earth; how rather inconvenient for the little ponies. So, my thought is that the reason behind the precut gems is because the ponies live in a world where (almost) everything is made for their convenience; however, I did like the idea about Energon deposits someone mentioned earlier...Transformers/Pony crossover...mmmmm....

Gothamist: Young Frankenstein Limps This Way:
Status-conscious tourists coughing up over $450 a ticket are bound to feel a little burned if they get stuck with an understudy in the lead role. Adam Feldman at Time Out NY recently performed a colonoscopy of sorts on Young Frankie's record-setting ticket prices and pointed out that producers are only giving ammo to the stagehands' union as they prepare to strike. TONY also got funny testimonials from three audience members who paid a premium to see the show in previews. Filthy rich Mel Brooks enthusiast/sucker Michael Platt snorted, "You just gotta bite the bullet and get great seats – it's worth it. I paid $800 a seat for ten seats, through a broker, so it was either that or pay for my son's bar mitzvah." (Platt was kidding about that last bit – of course he also paid for the bar mitzvah, which we imagine taking place at Bungalow 8 with the New York Knicks dancers performing water ballet in a fountain of Veuve Clicquot, to a live performance by Maroon 5.)

Last week, I received the following email from a reader, Tara:
"I was wondering if you have tried Maybelline's The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara? I did a search on your blog and didn't come up with anything. I ran out of mascara and was at the store last night. I went to grab a Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara, but something caught my eye. There was a big display of The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara by Maybelline. The packaging is very eye catching since it is yellow and black and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. Plus, the color of the mascara is called "Glam Black," so how could I not try it when the word "Glam" is there? I put it on this morning and was amazed. The brush is "colossal" but my lashes are long and full and no clumps! Geez, sorry to ramble, but I'm just so excited to find a mascara that works wonders for only $6.99! If you haven't try it, you should!!"
Now, I wasn't sure whether the aforementioned email was an actual reader review, or a veiled PR pitch…so I decided to purchase for myself, review the mascara and draw my own conclusions.
Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara promises:
* 9X the volume, instantly
* No clumps
* Washable
Does it deliver? You betcha…but in a way you wouldn't expect. The brush is tame, in contrast to Cover Girl Lash Blast's big fatty wand. Yet it manages to catch every last lash and coat it in inky blackness. Layer after layer, I was amazed at how I couldn't coax the formula to clump. Colossal Volum' Express volumizes alright…just don't count on nine times your typical thickness. But while your lashes may lack a little in the lushness department, the formula lengthens like you wouldn't believe…this mascara takes even the most Lilliputian lashes to a whole nuther level. Plus, it washes off with minimal elbow grease.
Check me out wearing Colossal Volum' Express in Glam Black (please excuse the sloppy application).
Check back this time next week, when Spoiled Pretty brings you a new makeup bag must-have that's easy on your wallet.
6 Comments on Recessionista's Fabuless Pick of the Week: Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara
Hey Daneen!
Would we say Colossal is as good as, dare I say it, Diorshow?
colossal= love in my book
you just got an award on blog..check it
hi! i found your blog thru toma's makeupmasala. 🙂
maybelline still has the best mascaras. i haven't seen colossal in our local stores, though. wanna try this out too!
I just bought this last night, too! 🙂 Would you say it beats out Lash Blast? I'm not entirely sure I can give it up just yet, lol! I had a little bit of clumpiness with this one, too, but it did have some nice length and volume.
Does it even come close to comparing to Diorshow Blackout? I've been debating over whether or not to buy this… I love my Diorshow, but the price isn't exactly friendly to a student budget!
I would say that LashBlast still has a leg up on Colossal. I'm a gal who needs volume – so I'll stick with Cover Girl. But if it's length that you're looking for (with a lil volume on the side), Colossal is an excellent pick. And I was really wow-ed by how easily it comes off (LashBlast is great…but you need, like, a jack hammer to remove it). As for DiroShow – I still have love in my heart for this mascara, but it's way too expensive, IMO.

The South Sudan CRESS team bring ideas or proposal that offer simple solutions to problems faced daily by the team or the community, (although on occasion these have been not so simple or small!). Whenever we can and providing it meets the charity's overall aim and objectives, we always respond to need.
Making a difference on the ground
- Transport and getting around the country is one of the daily challenges our team faces. Reverend Joseph Aba, our main man on the ground and the person who overseas the implementation of our projects was provided with a motorcycle to assist him in carrying out his duties.
- IT equipment is invaluable to helping our own staff team work more efficiently and keep in touch with the UK. We also provide such equipment to schools, recently providing a printer to Romogi Barebo Primary School. Often items delivered are funded by our wonderful supporters and are always much appreciated and treated with great care.
- We have also funded the installation of water filters in homes and we believe that we have seen a dramatic improvement in the health of these families. However, we need to find an effective way to service and maintain these filters, before we invest further in this area.
- Training of CRESS staff in South Sudan is extremely important and occurs during our visits in January and September of each year.
As part of our relationship with the Diocese, we funded and helped deliver a Clergy Conference in 2015, which helped to develop church networks and communication and provided valuable teaching opportunities.
- Organised by CRESS and also in 2015 the Mothers' Union Conference, provided basic workshops on topics such as, health, money and business. The women of the country are resilient, resourceful and quite inspiring!
The UK CRESS team play a valuable role in the conferences it organises and funds, sharing skills and knowledge, although it has to be said, probably gaining far more in return. These important events play a major role in the relationship between the people of both countries and are invaluable to the work that we do.
If you would like to help us continue supporting the South Sudanese people, please get in touch with us or make a donation.

This boat has been working great for the past 2 years gets out of the water quickley etc. etc.
about 2 months ago I was having a problem during hole shot. I would have my motor trimmed down as normal and when I floored it it would hit 2000 rpms and hold for a long time (2mins.) which I am used to (2secs.) It would only plane when I started working the tab which I never use to have to do. I took it into my mechanic and he repaced the ,throttle sensor ,new prop 23pitch stainless like the old one, tune up, removed any water if any in gas. He then hooked it up to the Dyno machine and everything looked good he put a huge load on it and it performed perfect. We then took it into the water and same problem did not hole shot like it was suppose to 2000 rpms until we had to mess with the trim again to get it to plane. Please I need your expertise and so does my mechanic of 15 years. We thought it could be the prop again so we tried 3 different ones 23 pitch, 22 pitch and 4 blade 22pitch and the same thing happens. when you floor it from a standstill it hits 2000 rpms and dogs until you start with the trim and once your up and going the boat screams.

PHILADELPHIA — The Nets have seemingly been searching for rock bottom all season long.
They found it Friday night.
Evan Turner's driving layup as time expired gave the 76ers — which came into the game losers of seven straight and 19 of their last 23 — a 121-120 overtime win over the Nets (9-17) in front of 15,267 inside Wells Fargo Center.
"We've got to be up for everybody," said Paul Pierce after finishing with 24 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. "It's not like we're walking giants. We are bottom feeders right now just like Philadelphia, so we've got to be up for everybody.
"We don't have the luxury to come in here and coast and feel like we can come into the fourth quarter and turn it up. Those are the great teams that understand that and understand the moment. We are not there yet."
The Nets couldn't be farther from there after falling to the Sixers (8-19), a team that after a 3-0 start was playing like the team everyone expected them to be before the season began, including when they were destroyed by 36 points in Brooklyn Monday night. Now, it gets tougher as the Nets have the Pacers (twice), Spurs and Thunder on tap in four of their next six games.
After getting killed at the 3-point line and on the boards in Wednesday's home loss to the Wizards, this time the Nets were beaten at the rim and on the glass.
Despite having a massive size advantage at several positions, particularly when Brook Lopez and Andray Blatche were on the floor together, the Nets were again crushed on the glass and were outrebounded 49-36 — including 12-5 on the offensive glass. They also gave up 66 points in the paint on 33-for-52 shooting, while only scoring 30 on 15-for-33 shooting themselves.
"We can't rebound the ball and we can't protect the paint," coach Jason Kidd said of his team, which is now 28th in the NBA in rebounds per game. "So those are the things we have to work on."
Those are just some of the things the Nets have to work on, as they still sit two games out of the final playoff spot in the pathetic Eastern Conference, and in 11th place overall — far, far away from anywhere this $189 million roster was expected to be when this season began.
The two teams battled throughout, with the lead never getting above three points either way through the final six minutes of the fourth quarter. Both had their chances to win the game in regulation, with the Nets taking a 107-106 lead with 1:06 remaining on a pair of Alan Anderson free throws before Turner made one of two free throws to tie the game with 50.4 seconds left.
After Anderson and Michael Carter-Williams traded missed layups, the Nets had the ball with a chance to win with 5.5 seconds left, but Deron Williams (17 points, 14 assists) missed a jumper at the top of the key, sending it to overtime. The two teams went back-and-forth in the extra session, with Pierce eventually hitting a wide open 3-pointer to give the Nets a 120-119 lead with 16.9 seconds remaining.
Turner, who led Philadelphia with 29 points, then drove to the rim from the top of the key, only to get blocked by Anderson out of bounds with 6.3 seconds left. On the ensuing in-bounds pass, Turner got the ball back at the top of the key and drove to rim, where his layup went over Lopez's outstretched arm settled into the basket.
"I was looking like, 'Where did the ball go?' … I thought it came out the other side, and thankfully it went in," Turner said. "God definitely looked out for me on that one."
After Turner's game winner, the Nets trudged off the court, in search of answers for their struggles that, nearly two months into the season, haven't shown signs of dissipating.
"I don't think anybody expected this," Williams said. "[We] Keep talking about that. I don't think anybody could imagine us having the record that we have right now, talking about the things that we're having to talk about every game.
"It's baffling to me. At some point we have to just say enough is enough."
If this loss wasn't that point for the Nets, there may not be one.

Welcome to a series of articles devoted to motor vehicle windscreens replacement, designed to provide insights into the use of the modern laminated windscreen, the types of stone damage that can occur, what can and can't be repaired, windscreen wiper damage, and windscreen maintenance. So here goes - I hope you find the articles informative and interesting.
Gerry Howell
About modern windscreens
In this first article, I'll go over a bit of the background as to why we use the laminated windscreen - its properties, its proper use and its maintenance...
Common windscreen damage
Most windscreen damage is caused by the impact of small stones
continually being thrown up from the road. Such damage can be broadly
classed into five categories...
Repair of windscreen damage
Bullseyes, stars, chips and long cracks can all be repaired. However, it is important that a repair is carried out as soon as possible, particularly in the case of a long crack...
We do car window repair all around the following areas: Ringwood, Boronia, Wantirna, Bayswater, Croydon, Box Hill, Blackburn, Glen Waverley, Ferntree Gully, Nunawading, Vermont, Mitcham, Camberwell, Doncaster and all Eastern Suburbs.

(A small contingency will remain, but it will just be to maintain US presence. If you can't understand why, then you'll have to do your own research. I don't have the time nor the inclination to explain foregn policy to you.)
I am simply stating that Israel, acting in what they percieve to be their own self interest, will initiate a first strike against Iran, and now that I think of it, possibly Syria, if Obama is elected. They will do this shortly after the election because Bush will support Israel, and Obama, despite his pretty words, won't.
My friend, I would love to see world peace. But it ain't gonna happen. Not in my life time, nor in your.
On another note, Bush already gave his farewell speech to the UN General Assembly on 9/23, so there is no reason, other than some international emergency, for him to go back to the UN within the next 3 months. SO IF HE DOES GO BACK ...

|Home > Existence and Uniqueness Theorems in Two-Dimensional Nematodynamics. Finite Speed of Propagation
The paper is devoted to the two-dimensional Ericksen-Leslie system describing the nematodinamics of liquid crystals. The moment of inertia of molecules is supposed to be strictly positive. The existence of the solution was proved in the case of periodic domain and in the case of bounded domain. In the last case media is supposed to adhere to the solid surface, the director vector field describing orientation of the molecules is constant in the neighbourhood of the boundary. The uniqueness of the strong solution was proved in both cases. Also we prove the propagation of director disturbance has finite speed. This fact shows the difference between the model under consideration and models with zero moment of inertia of the molecules. The estimate of the speed of propagation depending on physical properties of the liquid crystal and the flow was obtained.

Spiritual Travel: "Vacations for Soul" Book Shows How to Change Your Life with Travel
Travel Expert Max Karimbeik Unveils Ways to Have Holistic Holidays
Jan 17, 2013, 08:45 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you return from a vacation more tired than before you left?
Maybe you need to abandon boring vacations and go on a spiritual quest instead, author and tour leader Max Karimbeik writes in his new book, "Vacations for the Soul."
"Traveling can change your life and awaken your soul. Transforming boring vacations into holistic holidays can cultivate the body and the mind, whether adventuring solo or journeying as a group. Travel doesn't have to constitute another boring vacation," said Karimbeik, a travel professional and spiritual journeyer. "This book shows how to take trips that will transform lives."
For a free list of spiritual vacation destinations go to VacationsForTheSoulBook.com
"Whether adventuring solo or journeying as a group, you can learn how to swap a mundane vacation for a holistic holiday that cultivates the body, mind, and spirit alike," he said. "An all-inclusive vacation package can be a great way for a couple to rekindle their relationship."
Each chapter focuses on a particular type of holistic or spiritual treat and outlines the benefits of taking one. The book shows how the positive psychological effects of spiritual retreats and holistic vacations last long after the physical journey is over.
While the book offers a thorough examination of this alternate art of trekking, this guide is still short enough for those who don't wish to spend hours poring over a travel guide.
"I wrote Vacations for the Soul to share the many inner and outer journeys that I've taken through the world. I passionately believe that everyone deserves to travel and to take meaningful trips that will develop a person's spiritual resources even while exposing them to the realities of how others live in the world," said Karimbeik runs a travel club that focuses on this unique form of adventuring.
The travel that Karimbeik describes is quite different that the one being sold on cruise ships and all-inclusive resort packages. He doesn't confine his advice to any one region of the world but instead shows readers how to cultivate the mentality that is the hallmark of a holistic holiday.
"Traveling brings you closer to reality and to the world and connects you with your source. Why? Because people who travel to new places are usually in the present moment, not the past or the future," Karimbeik writes. "Traveling is like meditation."
This lighthearted guide will make a perfect gift. Even for the armchair explorer, it may move them to book passage on an alternate type of spiritual holiday they did not think was possible.
Karimbeik is honest about the stressful aspects of travel, from getting lost to not initially understanding the language or culture of your host country. Yet those stressful factors are also what can make travel spiritually transforming.
He explains several types of holistic travel such as health vacations focused on restoring the full powers of the body as well as volunteer vacations where travelers donate their time and skills to communities in need.
He also shows how vacation can be undertaken as a means for self-improvement or even as a way to heal from a traumatic experience. This alternate form of travel can also be a way for young couples or established married partners to recharge their batteries and renew their interest in one another, enhancing their relationship in an unlikely way.
To order the book, go to http://www.VacationsforTheSoulBook.com or visit Amazon.

text: Published:24th November 2014CountryScotlandCategories:Working with natureShare:The dark green fritillary is one of the butterflies that is found on the links at Royal Troon. A volunteer from the Scottish Wildlife Trust carried out a butterfly audit on the Old Course at Royal Troon Golf Club through the summer of 2014, completing transects in June, July and August. 11 of the UKs 56 species of butterfly were identified during the audit, with "thriving" populations of Common Blue, Meadow Brown, Ringlet, Small Heath and Dark Green Fritillary being recorded. Butterfly activity is closely related to the weather and over 200 butterflies were recorded on each of the two visits carried out in sunny conditions."11 species of butterfly were identified, with "thriving" populations of Common Blue, Ringlet, Small Heath and Dark Green Fritillary UK butterflies are in serious decline as many of their feeding and breeding grounds have been destroyed through urbanisation, intensification of agriculture and increased use of pesticides.Royal Troon has an excellent record of sound environmental management, working to a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (supported by an ornithological audit) that was produced in collaboration with The R&A's ecological consultant, Bob Taylor of the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI). This includes management to provide a balance of grassland and gorse to provide as great an opportunity for biodiversity as the links landscape and vegetation will allow. David Brown, former Secretary and now Environmental Adviser at Royal Troon, commented "An important part of our Environmental Management Plan is to maximise the wildlife potential of the courses and it is extremely pleasing to read the Scottish Wildlife Trust's findings which indicate that this goal is being achieved." Well-managed golf courses, such as Royal Troon, maintain a rich and varied flora and marginal scrub vegetation which provide high quality habitats for butterflies, moths and other essential pollinators.The railway, an icon of urbanisation, still runs alongside the wildlife haven that is the links of Royal Troon Royal Troon will host The Open in 2016 when, hopefully, the sun will shine and the grasslands will be alive with butterflies. Carrying out audits of flora and fauna is the only way to measure the biodiversity value of the golf course. These need to be repeated every so often so that population trends can be monitored and habitat management adjusted, if required, to encourage desirable species.

Today, Common Sense Media is proud to announce the release of Digital Passport™ on both iOS and Android platforms, making the award-winning web-based game more accessible than ever for students in grades 3-5 who must learn critical skills around being safe, smart and responsible online.
Just like the popular web version, the Digital Passport app features mini-games paired with videos that take about 15-20 minutes to complete. Students learn and advance through topic areas collecting badges at their own pace to ultimately earn their Digital Passport. Collaborative classroom activities reinforce online lessons as students' progress is tracked and measured so that teachers can effectively evaluate their students' readiness to be online and use mobile devices. Reports are easily exported from the platform, enabling schools to create a record of student learning that helps satisfy E-rate and CIPA educational requirements.
"As districts nationwide integrate tablets, computers and web-based resources into their classrooms, it's so important that students learn from the outset how to use these powerful learning tools wisely," says Mike Lorion, General Manager of Education at Common Sense Media. "The mobile versions of Digital Passport give teachers the flexibility to engage their students in these important lessons wherever they are using their technology - at home and at school."
Based on lessons from Common Sense Media's K-12 digital literacy and citizenship curriculum taught in more than 67,000 schools nationwide, Digital Passport addresses safety and security, cyberbullying, responsible cell pone use, safe search and respecting creative work.
Digital Passport is currently played by more than 300,00 students in grades 3-5 nationwide and nearly 80,000 digital passports have been issued.
What do I need to know about the mobile version?
There are two versions of the mobile app: a classroom edition and a version intended for parents to share with their kids at home. The difference between the two versions is that for the classroom edition, teachers can access the teacher dashboard that tracks student progress, and in fact, are required to do so since students can only access the games inside with logins created and provided by their teachers. Since the games are intended for kids under the age of 13, email accounts are not part of the student login process. Rather, teachers create usernames and passwords and provide them directly to their students. That login information enables students to access their progress in the games from any device, be it the web version or on any iPad or Tablet that has the game installed.
The classroom edition of Digital Passport qualifies for Apple's Volume Purchase Program. You can receive a 50% discount for app purchases of quantity 20 or more. To get started, you'll need to complete an online enrollment process and create a VPP account with Apple. Any K-12 institution is eligible to participate. Find out more about Apple's Volume Purchase Program for Education here.
Here is a brief video tutorial explaining how to get started with the mobile version:
Is Digital Passport available on any other platforms?
Digital Passport is also available on the Edmodo app store. If you are an Edmodo user, you can assign Digital Passport to your existing class groups and they will earn Edmodo badges as they move through the games. The Edmodo version is not compatible with mobile devices though, so if you plan to have students play on iPads or tablets, you will need to install the mobile versions we're announcing today.
Where can I get more information about choosing the right platform and getting my classes set up?
DigitalPassort.org provides a wealth of resources for teachers just getting started with Digital Passport, no matter what version you're using.
1. You can find a full-complement of professional development videos explaining why and how to integrate Digital Passport into your curriculum at: https://digitalpassport.org/educator/get-trained.
2. Each of the game modules and related lesson plans are presented here: https://digitalpassport.org/educator/materials

After his win at the Masters, a lot of fans wanted to learn to play 'Bubba golf.' Clubmaker Ping responded Tuesday by allowing fans to at least purchase some of Bubba Watson's unique equipment.
On June 1, the company will sell 5,000 limited-edition pink G20 drivers – similar to what Watson has been using this season. The drivers will retail for $430.
The drivers will have a bright pink shaft and clubhead, and are offered in 9.5-, 10.5-, and 12-degrees of lofts for right-handed players. Left-handed players will have a 10.5-degree option. It is available in R, S, and L flexes. Women will be able to purchase a version with 12 degrees of loft.
All come with a matching pink headcover and a shaft labeled, "Bubba Long in Pink. Driven by Ping. Limited Edition 2012."
The decision to sell the drivers came in the wake of the response to Watson's sudden-death playoff win over Louis Oosthuizen at Augusta National.
"Even prior to his win at (t)he Masters, golfers were requesting pink G20s.Through word of mouth, social media, and phone calls, the interest was extremely high,' said Ping CEO John Solheim in a release.
The sale of the drivers will benefit Watson's 'Bubba & Friends Drive to a Million' charity effort this season. Watson seeks to raise $1 million for cancer research.
Ping has already committed up to $100,000 to the effort – $10,000 up front and another $300 for the first 300 drives of 300 yards or more this season. From the driver sales, 5 percent of the proceeds will help Watson's goal.

Tre Kronor advances, Krueger's outcasts must beat USA
BERNE – The great blue-and-yellow tradition continues. Sweden made the top eight at the IIHF World Championship with a 4-1 victory over Switzerland on Sunday, a feat it's accomplished every year since 1938.While the Swedes now await the identity of their quarterfinal opponent, the Swiss must earn a three-point win over the USA in their last Qualification Round game on Monday in order to have the possibility of cracking the elimination games. It's a tough predicament for the host nation, which made the quarterfinals in five out of the last six years, and had high hopes heading into this tournament.(Latvia and Team USA both need one more point to secure a quarterfinal berth. If Switzerland beats the USA in regulation time on Monday, they will make the quarterfinals and the tournament will be over either for the Latvians (if they don't gain at least a point versus Russia) or the USA (otherwise). There is only one exception: if all four teams are tied with seven points, Switzerland would need to beat Team USA by at least three goals to make the quarterfinals in place of the Americans.)"The good thing is that we have another chance," said Switzerland's Ryan Gardner. "Now we try to get a good night's sleep, come back tomorrow, bring some more energy and play our best game possible. We need to be professional about it. Our chance is still there since some teams have won some games for us."Johnny Oduya, Johan Harju, Linus Omark, and Johan Andersson scored for Sweden, which completes its Qualification Round on Monday versus France."We played a really good hockey game, really tight, and didn't make many mistakes today," said Swedish head coach Bengt-Åke Gustafsson. "We got a very important first goal and the pressure was on them after that. I'm very pleased with what the team did today, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the tournament."Romano Lemm replied for Switzerland.Sweden's "Monster" Johan Gustavsson won the goaltending duel with Martin Gerber, as shots on goal favoured the Swedes 29-25.On balance, this wasn't the most exciting game ever played at the IIHF World Championship. As one unidentified reporter in the press box waggishly observed: "Sweden and Switzerland are taking neutrality to a new level."Initially, the pro-Swiss crowd of 11,327 was electric, whistling with fury when the game's first penalty went against the host team, oohing when Sandy Jeannin rang a slapper off the outside of Gustavsson's left post while penalty-killing, and cheering wildly when Gerber made a tough glove save.Sweden drew first blood at 5:47 when Oduya, playing in his very first World Championship game, wristed the puck home through traffic from the blueline.The Swiss pressed for the equalizer, though outshot 11-7 in the period, but came no closer than a puck that landed on top of Gustavsson's net during a late power play.Tre Kronor took a 2-0 lead five minutes into the second period when Harju deftly tipped Omark's power play blast past Gerber.Now no amount of Swiss checking could turn the tide, and the emotion seemed to drain out of the host team as Sweden controlled the play. Midway through the game, the fans whistled with displeasure when the big video screen showed someone holding up a sign that read, "Ralph – simply the best", a reference to Swiss head coach Ralph Krueger, who has led the national team since 1998.The Swedes sealed their triumph at 6:41 of the third. Omark raced down right wing into the Swiss zone, fed a cross-ice pass to Martin Thörnberg, and got the puck right back, wristing it into a wide-open net with Gerber fully committed."Of course it's great to play against the hosts when the arena is full," said Omark. "The atmosphere is great even if they're not cheering for us."It was pure demoralization for the Swiss, who got roundly jeered when they iced the puck during their own power play. Seconds after a 2-on-1 rush with Lemm and Roman Wick failed, Sweden rounded out its scoring on a Johan Andersson tally that required video review with 4:54 left.Lemm spoiled Gustavsson's shutout bid, potting a rebound on the power play at 16:44 and giving the crowd a momentary reason to cheer."We couldn't find our way into the game after giving up a quick 1-0 goal again, and we aren't pleased with the way we tried to get back into it," said Krueger. "We had trouble getting things going with the puck today, and Sweden definitely deserved these three points."Mark Streit was chosen as Switzerland's Player of the Game, and for Sweden, it was Dick Tärnström.The last time Switzerland beat Sweden was 4-2 in the Preliminary Round in Quebec City in 2008.LUCAS AYKROYD

|even overcast days demand wearing sunscreen---plus snow reflects sunlight-- just like a day at the beach-so unless you are head to toe furry or under a blanket like this horse---need to wear sunscreen
Lumixyl MoistureLock Sunscreen SPF 30, BLUSH ON BLOCK, SPARKLE
By now-most of those who even bother with New Year's resolutions-have opted out---
Inversely-when it comes to skin care---the aim is to keep/get back the old you-pre-sun damage---not aim for the new one---that already shows signs of aging-and environmental damage...
When it comes to sunblocks for the neck up-imo--physical sunblocks made from natural mineral origins are the most effective, long lasting-and made from ingredients that don't irritate-burn our face.
Especially for outdoor endurance endeavors-those BB/CC creams just are not enough to prevent sunburn…and chemical sunscreens don't seem to last as long.
Recent backcountry jaunts in sunny Utah= ideal times to test out the multi-tasking Lumixyl MoistureLock Sunscreen SPF 30 by ENVY MEDICAL.
Slathering it on-about 2 tsps worth of the-the whitish creamy texture---the lotion blended in well -(hint-let it soak in for about a minute)…
NOT that we cared look-wise-what we looked like BUT---made of a proprietary blend of UVA-UVB full spectrum blocking- from micronized Titanium Dioxide---it really left no color trace--- and will probably leave no chalkiness-as billed ---on darker skin tones.
Importantly-from what we have read-micronized titanium dioxide does not penetrate beyond the upper layers of the skin-meaning it offers full spectrum protection without sinking into the body. A good thing.
Feeling wise- Lumixyl MoistureLock Sunscreen SPF 30. has good skin feel---and is silky moisturizing ----not greasy at all-a big plus when it comes to dry air----and doubled as a primer-underneath our foundation---as tested the next day.
The second layer of protection found in Lumiblock comes from a ground breaking component known as SymHelios™ 1031, (we go to enough cosmetic trade shows to know this ingredient is from a very well respected company)...which works by inhibiting penetration of UVB-mediated toxins into skin cells, thus preventing degradation of elastin and collagen.
Lastly, scent-wise-it was barely noticeable…a good thing as fragrances of even unscented products (add fragrances neutralize the scent) -tend to irritate our skin…vs fragrance free products.
The 2 fluid oz tube---would probably last us a few weeks---with methodical re-applications about every 2 hours when outdoors-and retails online (what we found)-$46.40-$48.
Another new to the market-relatively speaking-mineral sunscreen we tried and adore---is well packaged with an easy applicator brush-..non-irritating - aptly named BLUSH ON BLOCK. ($30)
Made from the double whammy effective UVA+UVB full spectrum blocking Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide- the finely ground powder brushes on like a fine cosmetic powder…and has other good for skin ingredients like green tea extract and moisturizing jojoba oil.
Note-the powder gets rid of shine- but also went on our fair skin, neutrally--so guys/kids can use it too---and ECO BONUS POINTS-it's re-fillable - sold separately $16.
HINT-to get the powder to flow through the brush-if it doesn't come through with a few shakes... unscrew the the bottom part (how you add the re-fillable powder)…and kinda unclog the opening from settled powder…we did that 1x and had no problem afterwards.
Kudos for delivering a way to simply re-apply full spectrum sunblock without messing up our makeup-(developed by make-up artist, Susan Posnick- fyi)-something a lotion/spray sunscreen will do…and that is something especially important to us- as a day indoors- under certain kinds of lightbulbs-something that happens when we cover tradeshows---we think- can be as skin damaging as a day on the beach--anecdotal experience.
Assuming that future skin care studies will test this beyond what we have read already… more of a reason to always wear sunscreen…!
|brush hidden when the plastic cover is pulled up
A few years back-at the Natural East tradeshow-a new trend of collagen-vitamin infused dissolvable powders-aimed out revving up skin texture-caught our eyeballs-as we are big believers in you are what you eat.
|SPARKLE-skin targeted goodness-easily blends in water-or smoothies-30 day supply-$38.50. We needed about this much water 2oz-dissolve one scoop.
SO the new Sparkle powder-that mixes easily with water, is low in calories…and... as seen below-is packed with VERISOL® Collagen peptides (improves skin elasticity), Vitamin C (anti-radical scavenging-wrinkle busting vitamin) and moisturizing skin plumping in a good way- hyaluronic acid… intrigued.
YAY-Sparkle actually is a lot easier on the palate-with that tangy orangey taste (Tang-ish)…with a very faint protein undertone.
We don't drink smoothies---but Sparkle could be added -for those that do. Also-we believe it is better to 'eat' one's nutrients-versus a capsuled supplement that we always wonder-how easily absorbed by the body- the beneficial ingredients are.
|one tub=30 day supply and comes with the 1x day sized scoop. we poured ours into a glass jar…with airtight lid-fits better in our cramped kitchen shelves. Available online AMAZON

Charlie Brown and the Infinite Sadness
Charles Schulz: "a depressed, cold and bitter man who was constantly going after different women," apparently.
Filling in for Dan Kois today is Fluxblog editor Matthew Perpetua.
According to an article in today's New York Times, the family of "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schulz was shocked to discover that a new biography of the comics legend primarily portrays him as "a depressed, cold and bitter man who was constantly going after different women." Though it is understandable that a family would be sensitive about this sort of thing, it's also jaw-dropping that anyone at all could be surprised that the man who wrote and illustrated the most melancholy daily comic strip of all time would actually be, you know, kind of a sad sack.
Really, given that cartoonists work long solitary hours and rarely get any sort of critical respect in their lifetime, it's sort of a miracle to stumble upon veterans in that field who are not miserable and/or crazy. Even if Schulz was a man given to telling interviewers things like "I have this awful feeling of impending doom" and "I wake up to a funeral-like atmosphere," he actually seems rather chipper and well adjusted compared to, say, "Cerebus" creator Dave Sim, whose masterwork gradually devolves from a nuanced political satire to a seemingly schizophrenic rant against women. Look on the bright side, Schulz family — at least your paterfamilias isn't that guy. Good grief! —Matthew Perpetua

Figures is a discipline for the young and the old. It involves intricate turns and shapes whilst tracing a circle or loop shape marked on the skating surface. There are dozens of different figures to learn varying in difficulty, from a simple circle eight, to a backward paragraph loop.
Freeskating :
This is perhaps the most exciting and athletic of the disciplines. The freeskater incorporates a variation of jumps, spins and footwork into a routine choreographed to music. There are many different types of jumps and spins. Freeskating may be skated individually or as a freeskating pair in which lifts above the head are permitted and the team must perform in unison.
This is a beautiful and exciting discipline. Traditionally dance was a discipline for couples. However in the past few years Solo Dance has become very popular in Australia and is now one of the most hotly contested events at State and National level. The two events for Solo Dance are Compulsory Dance and Creative Solo Dance (CSD). Skaters in Compulsory Dance events all skate the same set pattern around the skating floor to the same music. For CSD all skaters must skate to a set rhythm for a given event but each skater chooses their own music. Dance may also be done socially in a class.
This is a fun discipline where a group of skaters skate together in synchronism to music. The skaters may be either male or female and many precision teams are a mix. Precision routines often contain elements of Freeskating and Dance.
The objective is to have the skaters performing as one. The emphasis, however, is on enjoyment and participation. Precision skating is fun to do and fun to watch. Its rules are flexible enough to allow lots of original ideas and innovations.
There are three levels of competition in Artistic Roller Skating
Debut: where skaters are introduced to competition in a non-competitive environment.
Elementary: where skaters compete in events depending on either their age or their skill level. Elementary skaters compete in competitions within Victoria.
Championship: where skaters compete in events according to their age and their abilities. Championship Grade skaters can complete at a local competitions as well as National and International competitions.

Apartheid in Canada
The Highway to Frenchifucation and Separation : Where Is the Road to Unity?Book
On 4 Nov 2015, Justin Trudeau was sworn in as Prime Minister of Canada. His agenda does not seem to vary from that of his father Pierre Trudeau, another self admitted Communist sympathizer. Pierre was previously sworn in to office on 20 April, 1968.
Justin Trudeau into office as PM? Napoleon Bonaparte will be rolling in his grave when he sees the Napoleonic code being broken. His code stated that persons should earn public office rather than inherit the position. That certainly did not happen in 2015 in Canada with the opposite attempts to recreate Trudeaumania.
Will the Pierre Trudeau crime, kidnapping, bombing and murder culture re-emerge on the Canadian scene? Will Justice Charbonneau's massive inquiry uncovering the Quebec Culture of Crime be again ignored as were previous hearings? Will the Canadian people keep topping up the more than $20 Billion annually going into the vast money pit of Quebec?
Tremendous racism will have every Canadian business partner, citizen and immigrant aghast. In 2015 Justin Trudeau announced on television that he and his Quebecers were better "than all others." Government decisions based on race will again/still be the order of the day. Will Canadians appeal to the United Nations for protection against their own government? This will not be the first time in which Canadians won legal decisions the UN found against the Canadian Government. How do we correct this despair and return Canada to the list of top rated countries in which to live? If nothing else, you need to know how to protect yourself, and we can grow from there.

New Delhi: Press Council of India Chairman
Markandey Katju on Sunday praised the Pakistani media for playing
a "historical role" and making sacrifices in the fight against
"bigoted and fanatical elements" there bent upon dragging
their society into the "dark ages".
Katju has conveyed his views to the Press Council of
Pakistan and the media there through an Indian press
delegation leaving from Mumbai for Karachi.
Conveying his best wishes to the print and electronic
media in Pakistan, Katju lauded it for playing a "historical
"Despite all its difficulties, the Pakistan media by
and large is honourably discharging its duty to society. The
Pakistan media has made great sacrifices in the face of the
bigoted and fanatical elements who want to drag society back
into the dark middle ages," Katju said in his message.
He maintained that the Indian sub-continent has
"partially emerged" from the feudal age with great
difficulties and sacrifices of our people.
"There are reactionary elements in both India and
Pakistan who want our society to be thrown back into the dark,
feudal age. It is the duty of all persons who want our people
to prosper and get a life of dignity to oppose this
reactionary trend," Katju said.
The former Supreme Court judge appreciated the
"historical and signal role" of the Pakistan media.
"I hope and trust that the Pakistan media will continue
to serve the people honourably, as it has till now, in their
struggle for a better life," he said.

A Tale of Two Audreys
When we last saw FBI Special Agent Audrey Parker she and her partner, local cop Nathan Wournous, were locked in a standoff with a woman claiming to be the real Special Agent Audrey Parker.
In the season two premiere of Haven, we find Audrey and Nathan pointing their guns at a very convincing Audrey impersonator. While the three of them try to get past their suspicions without shooting each other, Reverend Driscoll has called a meeting with Duke Crocker to form an alliance of some sort.
Duke certainly doesn't trust Rev. Driscoll but it doesn't matter because the screams of a nearby child interrupt their conversation. Duke runs over to discover that the child's arm is covered in blood. Not only are there rivers of blood streaming down the street there is also blood coming out of the Good Shepherd Church's sprinkler system.
Meanwhile, Nathan and Audrey have handcuffed Audrey #2 and are attempting to make sense of it all, when a torrential downpour of frogs catches them by surprise. As soon as the strange rain shower passes, another odd occurrence manifests: a swarm of gnats so dense that it causes a traffic accident.
With Nathan taking care of traffic, Audrey could use a helping hand so, after a moment's hesitation, she un-cuffs Audrey #2 and the two of them work together to save a motorist's life. Tragedy averted, our Audrey calls her boss, Special Agent Howard, to see if he's been in touch with Audrey #2—no such luck. All is not lost though, because when Duke shows up with the news of blood over at the Good Shepherd Church, Audrey and Nathan realize that the ten biblical plagues are being visited on Haven. The question is why.
After following clues all round town (and coming to trust Audrey #2) the answer finally comes when Nathan and the two Audreys catch up with TJ, a "troubled" young man who hopes to kill himself before the ten plagues can take his first-born baby boy away from him. But after asking the right questions Audrey is able to deduce that TJ's special power is the passive ability to manifest whatever he reads about. Since he read about the ten plagues from the book of Exodus earlier in the day, he is somehow making those plagues manifest. Thankfully, Audrey is able to hand him a children's book before the sequence of plagues kills all the first-born sons, including Nathan.
With the immediate danger behind them, the two Audreys wait for Special Agent Howard, to arrive and sort things out. In the interim they discover that they truly have shared memories—even of a youthful act of violence that neither of them have ever told anyone about before. Something significant is going on here and the two of them vow to figure it out together. Later, when Special Agent Howard does show up, Audrey is horrified to find that this Agent Howard is a completely different person from the man she knows.
Duke, meanwhile, has problems of his own. Somehow Evidence Ryan, his con artist of an ex-wife, has found him and she has no intention of leaving town until she figures out what angle Duke is running. Later, while he grapples with the events taking place in his own life, Duke helps Nathan bury his father.

"The 1-Click Trading feature allows clients to react faster and take advantage of volatile, fast moving markets like FX"
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) January 31, 2014
In today's fast moving markets, traders need to react quickly and have the ability to immediately place and exit positions with minimal obstacles. Delivering to this specific demand is 1-Click Trading, the latest feature available through CMC Markets' Next Generation online trading platform.
1-Click Trading allows investors to place certain types of orders almost immediately, with a single or double click, directly from any live streaming buy or sell price, for faster order submission. It gives traders the opportunity to react faster when dealing with volatile markets. However, full order tickets will still be quickly available throughout the platform.
"Today's sophisticated traders demand access to the fixed and mobile tools and technology that they need to succeed in generating wealth. The 1-Click Trading feature option allows clients to react faster and take advantage of fast moving markets. It also inherits clients' personalised online settings to streamline their trading experience," said Matt Lewis, Head of CMC Markets ANZ.
Traders can choose to carry over their pre-set order management settings to pre-determine risk and reward ratios by product or asset class such as currency, commodities, indices, shares and treasuries.
Lewis explains, "In switching on 1-Click Trading, a client trading currencies may wish to maintain their pre-determined stop loss at 1% and take profit at 2%. The same client when trading commodities can set default order management settings at different levels. These bespoke settings will remain in place until the client changes them or switches off the function".
Lewis says market trends have created the conditions and are driving the need for the new features, and the surge of interest in the volatile 24-hour Forex market played a factor in our development of 1-Click Trading.
"Traders looking for opportunities in the Forex market understand how local and global news can influence movement in currencies and create an excellent trading environment. Speed is of the essence when leveraging these opportunities, so 1-Click Trading is a natural fit for experienced Forex traders as it enables them to control risk by keeping their regular predetermined stop loss and take profit levels, while giving them the added benefit of executing trades as swiftly as possible," said Lewis.
In addition to the opportunities the current market affords there are other benefits that Forex traders can leverage such as containing costs.
"Currency traders can take advantage of tight spreads while being confident that there are a number of factors that will move the product, keeping trading opportunities on the table. Experienced investors who are trading in size can also reap financial rewards from us in the shape of rebates," said Lewis.
CMC Markets has also added an Execution Alerts feature to its platform. This new feature notifies traders when pending orders have been executed via an in-platform pop-up and optional alert sound. Execution Alerts also enhance CMC Markets iPhone, Android™ and iPad apps as the new feature pushes notifications to traders when their first pending trade since they last logged out has been executed.

Both of our family owned & operated auto repair service centers have
been performing major & minor services in Silver Spring, MD since 1982.
Your brakes can save your life, as well as the lives of other drivers and
passengers in their cars. Brake service is of utmost importance if you
notice any changes in the way your brakes perform. Strange noises such
as squealing or grinding can indicate that a component in your brake system
needs the attention of an experienced mechanic. One of the main components
of your braking system is the calipers, which clamp over the rotors. Brake
calipers have metal plates, also known as brake pads, on the inside, which
is what allows you to slow your car down or stop suddenly. If there is
any fluid on the calipers, discs, or rotors, it may be a sign that there
is a problem within the caliper housing. Each element of the braking system
must be in good shape in order for your brakes to work properly, which
is why routine maintenance and replacement of certain parts is necessary.
Let the mechanics at Murray's Auto Clinic check out your brake repair
needs. Call (240) 450-2478 to discuss
your brakes and other vehicle issues. Our White Oak mechanics will help get you back on the road in no time.
A problem with your car's transmission should be addressed by a mechanic
immediately, as a transmission replacement can be costly and time-consuming.
By having automatic transmission repair at the first signs of a problem,
you can help your car stay on the road for longer. Watch this video to
learn the signs that a transmission may be failing.
To tell if you have a transmission problem, pay attention to the way your
car is performing. If it is shifting at different points or acting differently
than it usually does, it could be a transmission problem. One of the telltale
signs of a bad transmission is delayed engagement. This happens when you
put your car into gear, but it takes a few moments for your car to actually
move. Transmission fluid that appears dark or burnt can also indicate
that you need transmission repair.
If you are unsure about what's happening with your car, call the
mechanics in White Oak at
Murray's Auto Clinic at (240) 450-2478. We offer quality car repairs and outstanding mechanic service.
Winter is just around the corner. That means it's time to get your
furnace in order, take your sweaters out of the basement, and take your
car to your mechanic. Winter driving can take a toll on your vehicle,
so it is essential that you have it checked out so that you are ready
for the season. Keep reading to learn what you can do to prepare your
car for winter driving.
Maintenance Items
If there are any maintenance items your car is due for but you've
been avoiding going to the auto repair shop, now is the time. This may
include an in-depth service if you're at a mileage milestone, or
simply having your mechanic make sure your fluids are topped off. Let
the auto shop know what sort of driving you expect to be doing this winter,
whether it's daily commuting or taking longer drives in potentially
harsh conditions. Your mechanic will know what to look for and what to
fix to keep you safe on the road this winter.
Tire Inspection
Are your tires worn, cracked, or bald? Make sure you have them replaced
before the winter weather arrives.
Driving on worn out tires can be dangerous, as it will increase your stopping distance and decrease
your grip on the road in wet or icy conditions. Depending on where you
live, you may want to ask your mechanic if you need specially designed
snow tires. If you aren't planning on going to rural areas where
snow plows are few and far between, you might be covered with all-season tires.
Coolant System
Don't take chances on cold temperatures stopping you in your tracks.
Have your coolant system inspected, and make sure you have the right mixture
of antifreeze and water. Your mechanic can test your radiator and hoses
and let you know if any parts need to be replaced.
Get your car in shape for winter with the help of Murray's Auto Clinic.
Give us a call at (240) 450-2478 to bring your car in for an inspection and
auto repairs. Our experienced auto mechanics in White Oak will make sure your car is
ready for the season ahead.
You rely on your car to get you where you need to go, from work to errands
to picking up the kids at school and back home again. If you ignore your
car's routine maintenance needs, you may end up with your car in
an auto repair shop for longer than you expected. One car issue you should
never ignore is changes in your brakes. Your brakes are essential for
maintaining your safety on the road, as well as keeping your fellow motorists
safe. Problems with your brake fluid can cause them to not work at all,
which is just one reason why it's important to know the facts about
brake fluid.
Causes of Low Fluid
One of the potential
causes for low brake fluid is worn brake pads. Check your owner's manual to see how often you
should have your brake pads replaced, or ask your mechanic if you notice
that your brakes are making strange noises or functioning differently.
Brake fluid should be replaced when the pads are replaced for the system
to work properly. Low brake fluid may also be a sign that you have a leak.
If your brake fluid system is allowed to get completely dry, your brakes
will cease to work. Stepping on the brakes all the way to the floor won't
make the car stop, which is a dangerous and scary situation for you and
your passengers.
Identifying a Leak
If you suspect you have a brake fluid leak, don't wait to take your
car to the repair shop. Look under your car where you normally park to
see if there are any puddles of fluid. Brake fluid should be mostly clear,
or may be slightly brown if it has not been replaced in a long time. Not
all leaks will actually create puddles, however, as some leaks will only
create wet spots on the undercarriage of your car.
You need the expertise of an auto mechanic in White Oak who can evaluate
and repair the site of your brake fluid leak. Call
Murray's Auto Clinic at (240) 450-2478 to schedule an appointment for your vehicle to be evaluated.
Your car maintenance safety depends on it.
When you bring your vehicle in for brake service, your mechanic may recommend
that you replace your brake pads. As the point of contact between your
brake's hydraulic system and its disc, your brake pads are an essential
component in your car's braking system. As you step on the brake
pedal, you will tell your brake pads to apply pressure to the spinning
brake disc. This pressure will safely slow and stop your vehicle when
it is in motion. Brake pads for average passenger vehicles are constructed
from semi-metallic or organic materials. High performance vehicles, such
as sports cars, rely on top of the line ceramic brake pads.
If you have questions about how your car brakes work, contact Murray's
Auto Clinic by calling (240) 450-2478. From replacing work brake pads
to repairing warped brake rotors, we offer all types of
brake repair near White Oak. When you bring your car to our auto repair facility, you can rest assured
that you are receiving top quality services.

Pumpkins and squashes are now in season, but there are just so many varieties out there. How can one decipher the differences between them and how to cook each one? Here is a fun guide with lots of recipes for my 4 favorite varieties: Buttercup Squash, Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash and Spaghetti Squash - and don't throw out those pumpkin seeds because we have some great recipes for those too! So let's get started! 1. Buttercup Squash: I have to say of all the squashes out there, buttercup squash is my all time favorite! It has such a nice creamy texture with a really sweet nutty flavor. It is also super versatile as it can be used in soups, cut up and roasted or even used in sweets. Here are some great recipe ideas for this squash : For a main meal to impress your guests, try my Chickpea, Tofu and Spinach Stuffed Buttercup Squash. A really flavorful soup using this squash is my Coconut and Ginger Buttercup Squash Soup. A side dish that will make everyone ask for seconds - Maple Ginger Buttercup Squash. For a yummy cheesy Mexican treat try adding this squash to enchiladas in my Squash and Black Bean Enchiladas. Let's not forget about dessert! Here is a gorgeous Buttercup Squash Cake from Self Proclaimed Foodie! 2. Butternut Squash: Butternut squash is probably the most commonly used squash today. It has a flavor similar to that of the buttercup, but slightly less sweet. It is however equally as versatile! Here are some great recipes to use butternut squash in: Learn a great simple yet scrumptious way to roast veggies with my Caramelized Butternut Squash and Brussel Sprouts. Veggie Success offers a nice take on a squash and lentil soup. The oh so comforting Butternut Squash Gratin is brought to you by Fleur de Lolly. Finally, Farm Fresh Feasts brings us two unique recipes for this beautiful veggie! Butternut Squash Waffles and Butternut Squash Hummus. 3. Acorn Squash Acorn squash is named after its acorn like shape. This squash has a very mild flavor and the texture is less smooth than the butternut or buttercup varieties. This squash can be baked or roasted, but I do not like to use it in soups since the texture is slightly fibrous. Here are some great recipes to use acorn squash in: If you are looking for a full meal to entertain guests with try my Moroccan Style Veggies with Couscous, where I actually use a combination of Buttercup and Acorn Squashes. You can also try a fun twist on a Mexican dinner with my Black Bean and Acorn Squash Burritos. A really nice upscale side dish - Acorn Squash and Wild Rice Pilaf comes from Carolyn's Homework. And finally Ann's Entitled Life offers a great guide on how to cut these tough squashes as well as a deliciously simple way of baking this squash with butter and brown sugar. 4. Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti squash is by far the most fun squash of all! The first time you see one, you just can't believe your eyes ... once cooked the inner fibers actually unravel into long noodle like strands - just by scraping with a fork! This is a great one to use if you are looking to replace your favorite pasta dishes with a much healthier and lighter option! Here are a few nice recipes to get you started using this fun squash: For a really nice light dish I paired the Spaghetti Squash with Pesto and Roasted Tomatoes. If you are looking for more decadent meals (hey why not - you are saving calories on the pasta, right?) I have a nice cheesy Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. and the Snappy Gourmet has a deliciously creamy Mushroom Spaghetti Squash. 5. The Seeds Any pumpkin or squash that you open will be full of seeds and most recipes require you to remove them before cooking the squash. So what to do with those seeds? Do NOT throw them away! They make amazing snacks! Simply wash them off really well and allow to dry and roast - delicious! Here are a few recipes to give you some new ideas for these crunchy seeds: Elemenop Kids has a great recipe for a simple tasty snack - Cajun Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. For a really pretty and different treat try these Mexican Pepitorias from The Other Side of the Tortilla. Finally for a really beautiful upscale treat - I love these Earl Grey Macaroons from Le Jus D'orange Now that you have all these great ideas - what are you waiting for?
