General information on Tramadol
tramadol has been described as a drink that has proven to have many energizing qualities and has been around since time immemorial. It has been mentioned frequently in the Rig Veda and various other religious texts. It has been described as being prepared from the stems of a plant.
Tramadol is the narcotic kind of pain reliever. It is used for treatment of moderate to acute kind of pain. Tramadol can also be used for other purposes under the guidance of a doctor.
Important information on Tramadol
If Tramadol causes allergy in you, you should avoid taking this medicine. Also in case you are or have remained addicted to alcohol or drugs, you should not take it. If you are drunk or are on narcotic pain relievers, street drugs, medicines for depression or sedatives, you should not take Tramadol. In case you have head injury or seizures history, taking Tramadol can lead to seizures again. This medicine can become a habit. Therefore it should only be taken by the person who has been prescribed for it. The medicine should be taken orally by mouth and it should not be crushed at all. It can be dangerous to inhale tramadol in the powder form or in case it is injected or diluted because it can enter the bloodstream directly leading to hostile side effects.
Before you take Tramadol
As discussed earlier, Tramadol should not be taken if it causes allergy or if you are on street drugs or have history of addiction or seizures.
Tramadol should not be taken if you are on the following things:
medicine for mental sickness
alcohol or street drugs
tranquilizers or sedatives
narcotic pain medicine
medicine for anxiety or depression
In some of the cases, among people who take Tramadol, seizures have occurred. Therefore it is advisable that you talk to your general practitioner about seizure risks involved. Seizure risks while taking Tramadol can increase in case you suffer from:
history of alcohol or addiction;
history of seizure disorder or epilepsy;
head injury history;
metabolic disorder;
if you are on narcotic, antipsychotic, muscle relaxer ,antidepressant, or medicine for vomiting and nausea.
In order to ensure that Tramadol can be taken safely, it is important that you inform the doctor in case of following illnesses:
kidney disease;
cirrhosis or any other liver disease;
stomach disorder;
history of mental illness, depression, or suicidal thoughts
FDA categorizes Tramadol in category C which means that it can harm the unborn baby. Inform the physician if you are or are planning to be pregnant. If all these conditions are considered, Tramadol can be taken safely.

Genre: Adventure
Publisher: Lighthouse Interactive
Developer: House of Tales
Release Date: April 15, 2008
In my years of gaming, it's become evident that each genre has its own clichés. First-person shooters usually rely on an unstoppable protagonist against an entire army of enemies, RPGs usually have a young kid who sets out on his own to save the world, and adventure games rely on the idea that our ancestors had nothing better to do than come up with insane puzzles to hide their secrets. Even if you have a modern protagonist, such as an archaeologist or detective, there's almost always a fallback to some ancient culture, which makes the puzzles seem a little less far-fetched. It's hard to imagine a restaurant in Chicago requiring you to solve a Sudoku puzzle before you can get into the restroom. So when a game like Overclocked: A History of Violence comes along, I get really excited because it's nice to see an adventure title that sticks in the modern setting and does it really well, despite some glaring technical issues.
In Overclocked, you play as a well-known psychiatrist, David McNamara, who lives in Washington, D.C. He's called to New York after five teenagers are committed with severe cases of post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia. Your job is to help these kids figure out what happened to them by jogging their memories. Now, this is where the game gets really good because when you trigger a flashback, you take control of the teen and play through the flashback. You record all of the sessions on your PDA and use them to stimulate memories in the other patients, basically working your way back through an entire week.
It should also be said that while all of this is going on with the patients, McNamara is dealing with plenty of his own personal issues, which you get to help him work through. The game actually manages to hold on to three or four different story threads without seeming overburdened or needlessly done. Everything you read and hear just seems to work with everything else, and a large cast of characters easily guides you along to your goal.
I honestly can't express to you how phenomenal the story is. To go on about it would probably ruin it, and I certainly don't want to do that. As you play through the memories, you really get drawn into the narrative as mysteries are solved and new ones are created. Even the simplest question feels so important that you just want to keep playing to answer it. It's been a long time since a game has gripped me like Overclocked did.
If there is one complaint I have about the story, it's that the dialogue seems kind of stiff at times. There are a few instances where it seems like a line of dialogue is missing. Your character jumps from one emotion to another without any rhyme or reason. Other little issues involve bits of dialogue that don't really match things your character had said a few moments before. For example, McNamara asks for a drink, and two lines of dialogue later, he tells the bartender that he has to get going. Thankfully, these issues are an uncommon occurrence, and more often than not, the story sails through without any issues.
You may be saying to yourself that a good story is nothing if it doesn't have great gameplay to back it up. Fortunately, Overclocked succeeds in this category as well. Skipping the first-person perspective that many modern adventure games are going with, Overclocked uses the traditional third-person view on which the genre was built. It uses a simple mouse interface, with which you interact with the world. The left mouse button is your context-sensitive button, automatically changing icons to show you how you can interact with your environment. It's an incredibly intuitive system that works really well, so anyone who's played classic adventure titles will have no problem getting started. Newcomers to the genre might take a few minutes to learn everything, but they'll quickly be solving puzzles with the best of them.
Adding to the control system is Overclocked's killer inventory system. Everything you have is represented by large icons across the bottom of the screen in a scrollable toolbar. Once again, there's an overall simplicity to the system that works in the game's favor.
The puzzles in Overclocked are also terrific. As previously mentioned, adventure titles set in the modern era often have a hard time shoehorning puzzles into the game without making them seem tacked-on. Overclocked manages to fit in puzzles in a realistic way. At its simplest, your characters are given an obstacle, and you have to figure out how to overcome it by using items in your inventory and the surrounding environment. The reason that the puzzles in Overclocked work is because they all seem like they belong. A lot of times, I didn't even realize that I was working on a "puzzle" in the traditional sense; I just knew that I had to get my character to the other side of the door, and I had to figure out how to do it.
However, not everything in Overclocked is coming up roses. While the gameplay and story are phenomenal, there are quite a few technical issues that disappointingly hurt an otherwise great title.
For the most part, the graphics are decent, but they're nothing compared to pretty much anything else that comes out on the PC. All of your character models are also kind of stiff, and anytime they interact with a prop, it doesn't really work. For example, when your character asks for a drink at a bar, the bartender puts a glass on the bar, which appears to be full. He grabs a bottle of liquor and proceeds to pour nothing into the glass, which, as we've established, already appears to have liquor in it. Little things like this kind of catch you off guard and draw you out of a game that the story works so hard to keep you in. It's a minor complaint and doesn't really hurt the experience.
The loading screens, on the other hand, are a disservice to the game. I'm not sure why they're so severe because there's nothing here that other PC titles can't do better, but every time the title has to access a cut scene off the disc, you see a black screen that can last upwards of 45 seconds before the scene starts. At first, I thought it was my computer, but a quick online search revealed that other people have experienced the same problem, so I have to assume that it's an unfortunate aspect of the game.
The sound portion also has a few minor hiccups. While the sound effects are decent and the voice acting does its job, there's a weird inconsistency with the volume. Sometimes the rain pounding on the window is louder than the character standing right next to you. Other times, the person with whom you're chatting sounds like he's talking through a cardboard tube. It's unfortunate because the title has such a terrific narrative to tell, and the jarring shift in volume and tone can interrupt the flow of the game.
However, the graphics and sound work really well together to create the atmosphere. There's a dark, mature feel to everything, and the music and visuals really help set the mood. This is also some incredible camera work on the part of the art team. The camera swings around to give you terrific perspectives on the action in the room. In addition to this, the developers made great use of a split-screen system, as two separate camera angles can be used to show you two events at the same time. The shining point is the main musical theme that plays at various points in the game and is just creepy enough; whenever it comes on, your tension level goes through the roof. The title also takes place in a pretty severe thunderstorm, and while I'm sure it's a metaphor for the many "storms" raging within the story, it really lends itself to the desolate and hopeless feeling that permeates the narrative.
Unfortunately, as with most adventure games, the replayability of the title is pretty much nil. There's definitely some length here, with the title clocking in at about 10 hours, but after you play through it once, there's really nothing else to see. At most, you'll play through it a second time just to see if you missed any of the subtle clues within the story.
Overall, you could do a lot worse than Overclocked: A History of Violence. As an adventure title, its story and simple gameplay will draw you in and keep you there until the credits roll. While there are a few minor technical issues regarding the presentation, they aren't nearly bad enough to overpower the compelling narrative. It's just a great game, and at a price of $30, it's hard not to recommend it to fans of the genre.
Score: 8.5/10

Specialty Cuts
Some of the cuts or preparations of beef that you will find in the meat case don't originate from any one primal area but instead, come from multiple area of the animal. Stew meat, for example, is likely to come from the chuck, but it can just as easily be made from the round or even the sirloin. Scraps of lean and fat leftover from trimming roasts and steaks for resale, are often combines with other cuts for ground hamburger or sausage. And there is at least one popular steak that doesn't belong to any of the nine primal cuts. This section gives you a list of the most commonly found specialty cuts.
Cube Steak
Cooking Methods:
Pan Fry
Other Names:
Cube steak, minute steak
Like ground beef, cubed steaks cut can come from more than one region–commonly the tougher muscles of the shoulder, sirloin or round are used. The butcher tenderizes the meat by pounding and perforating it with special tools, but not to the point that it separates for falls apart. Pan fry these cuts as you might a hamburger, or cut into smaller pieces and use in chili. When purchasing, make certain there is no connective tissue present.
Ground Beef
Cooking Methods:
Broil/Grill/Pan Fry/Roast
Other Names:
Ground Chuck, Ground Sirloin, Ground Round, Hamburger Meat
Small lean scraps and trimmings of fat and meat are combined and ground, either coarse or fine, to make ground beef. Percentage of fat will vary depending on which primal source was used and should be clearly stated on the label. Lean ground beef of 90% or higher, typically come from sirloin, but most hamburger aficionados will tell the best choice comes from the chuck with 15-20% fat. Before preparing, allow meat to rest at room temperature 20-30 minutes. This will ensure more even cooking.
Hanger Steak
Cooking Methods:
Other Names:
Butcher's Steak, Butcher's Tenderloin, Hanging Tender Steak, Onglet Steak
Butcher's typically have kept this cut for themselves. It's more commonly found in restaurants than supermarkets. Your best option is probably a local butcher shop. It comes from the hanging tender, an internal muscle that supports the diaphragm and literally hangs from the kidneys and attaches to the last rib. As such there is only one hanging tender per animal, from which 2 hanger steaks are cut. It has little internal fat, is juicy and has intense flavor. The steaks are best cooked with dry heat and sliced across the grain before serving.
Cooking Methods:
Other Names:
Beef Cubes for Kabobs, Kebob, Shish Kebob
Beef trimmings that are too small for steaks are commonly used for kabobs. Typically, lean, tender meat is used for kabobs, while tougher trimmings are cubed for stews. While they may look similar, the two are not interchangeable. Most kabobs come from the round region. Kabobs are excellent for marinating.
Stewing Meat
Cooking Methods:
Other Names:
Diced Beef, Stew Beef, Stew Meat
Stewing meats generally come from tougher cuts that need to be braised, but really meat prepared for stews can come from just about any where except for the shank. Meat is usually cubed into ¾- to 1½-inch pieces (2-4 cm) and should be free of bones, cartilage, and heavy connective tissue. A small amount of surface fat is okay. Be aware that there are no industry standards for how these items are packaged. So inspect thoroughly. If the label doesn't include the primal cut name, ask the butcher. Cook low and slow to allow all connective tissue to melt and the individual strands of meat to come apart.

Release Date: April 6, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Christopher Maugans, a JD/MBA student at the University at Buffalo, is one of only four people nationwide to receive the National Graduate Academic Award from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
The $5,000 award will help Maugans continue his studies in the four-year, dual-degree program in the UB School of Management and the UB Law School.
Maugans was chosen for the award based on his leadership with the School of Management's chapter of SHRM, his academic achievements, letters of recommendation and three essays.
As SHRM chapter president in 2009-10, Maugans helped to nearly triple student membership in the organization. He also has served on its community service committee and has presented resume workshops to the membership.
He served HR internships with VWR Education and Employers Services Corp. and helped write an Affirmative Action plan for SoPark Corp.

Ciminelli Family Career Resource Center, Maugans has served as interim head of recruitment and currently coordinates the practice interview program. He also serves as vice president of human resources for the Buffalo MBA Consulting Group.
"Chris Maugans is highly deserving of the SHRM National Graduate Award," says Josephine Zubek, chapter advisor and associate professor of organization and human resources in the School of Management. "His dedication and service to our chapter has been considerable and consistent, despite the multiple demands of pursuing a JD/MBA degree and his numerous extracurricular and professional activities. I expect that he will make a significant contribution as a professional in labor relations and human resources management."
SHRM is the world's largest association devoted to human resource management. Representing more than 250,000 members in over 140 countries, the society serves the needs of HR professionals and advances the interests of the HR profession.

MACBETH Day Two: Act I, Scene i through Scene iii
Lesson 2 of 14
Objective: SWBAT demonstrate understanding of MACBETH through writing and discussion.
My classes are held in 100-minute block sessions; since today is a professional development day, class periods are about one hour. The activities in this lesson take about 40 minutes to complete.
In the lesson outlined below, students review characters in Macbeth and explore the exposition of the play in Act I, Scenes i through iii.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Since we read Act III, Scene iii last class, I want to give students context about the play by reviewing a character map and asking questions based upon it and our work last class. You can use this MACBETH Character Map Prezi to review characters with students. I only reveal who characters are before the play begins, the roles. I do not reveal any action, even though students know Banquo has been murdered since I began last class with the climax of the play, Act III, Scene iii.
We discuss possible motives for Banquo's murder, such as he does something to offend Macbeth. Students do not yet know that Macbeth is king when he arranges Banquo's murder. However, when they learn that Banquo and Macbeth are close friends, they become further motivated to find out why Macbeth orders his murder, a purpose for going back to the beginning of the play and reading to find out what happens.
Resources (2)
We read Act I, Scenes i-iii by using No Fear Shakespeare: Macbeth (SparkNotes, 2003) while viewing the clips with original text subtitles from the "Macbeth" film by the Royal Shakespeare Company (PBS, 2010). I have provided the link to the full film on the PBS website, but I use the DVD with subtitles. You can purchase it online, or check your local public library to see if it is in stock.
After reading the first three scenes, as a class we verbally summarize the action chronologically:
- The witches discuss when they will meet with Macbeth and set the tone of the play with the paradox "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (Scene 1, Line 10).
- A captain recounts to Duncan et al. that Macbeth and Banquo are valiant warriors and win the war for King Duncan; Duncan names Macbeth thane of Cawdor since the sitting thane of Cawdor commits treason and will be executed.
- The witches discuss and demonstrate their power over natural elements.
- The witches give Macbeth and Banquo predictions about their future.
- Banquo warns Macbeth about the witches' and their possible motives.
- Ross and Lennox tell Macbeth Duncan has named him thane of Cawdor.
- Macbeth considers murdering Duncan.
Since I want to ensure students understand the exposition of the play, we discuss the following through discussion questions (Discussion Questions: Act I, Scenes i through iii):
- the role of the witches: agents of fate and the negative connotation of their label as witches as opposed to Shakespeare using oracles or prophets give predictions to Macbeth and Banquo; I point out that Shakespeare has Banquo refer to the witches as "instruments of darkness" in Scene iii, line 124 to reinforce the negative connotation.
- civil war in Scotland: Banquo and Macbeth's role in winning the war
- the function of dramatic irony in the play: e.g., we know Duncan makes Macbeth thane of Cawdor before Ross and Lennox deliver the news to Macbeth and Banquo
- how Macbeth becomes thane of Cawdor
- Macbeth's reflection on the witches' predictions and possible actions he must take to become king
- how Macbeth may transform from a valiant warrior and Banquo's close friend into ordering his murder
- how Macbeth may evolve as a tragic hero as the text progresses: students state that Macbeth may kill Duncan due to his ambition, losing his valiant, loyal qualities.
Shakespeare uses dramatic irony to hook the reader and offers Macbeth's reflection on the witches predictions in a soliloquy. Since my students tend to focus on analysis more than comprehension and at times may forget significant plot events, I ask students to write a 5-7 bullet summary of the plot in these scenes (Student Work: Ticket Out - Summary) and to list three quotes (Student Work: Ticket Out - Direct Quotes) from the text they find the significant, identified by speaker and lines.
For quotes to be selected, they must meet the criteria for direct quotes that I taught students in my Note-taking lesson earlier in the school year: "Quoting is most effective when wording is worth repeating or makes a point so well that no rewording will do it justice" (Little Seagull Handbook, 2011). I remind students of this criteria.
Without prompting, students clarify their interpretations and fill comprehension gaps by going back to the text and discussing it with a partner. They also discuss the significant quotes they have chosen with classmates after completing their work. Students are becoming proficient in independent practice of the critical reading and study strategies we have been exploring this year.

Notwithstanding this wealth of local commemoration, history has little to tell of the saint . The only extant life is a brief Welsh summary of about 1350 contained in the Book of the Anchorite of Llanddewi Brefi (ed. J. Morris-Jones and J. Rhys , Oxford , 1894 ). This makes him a scion of the royal stock of Morgannwg , born on the banks of the Severn in Powys , educated at Caerwent , settled at Berriw (until driven away by the approach of the English ), at Gwyddelwern , at Holywell (where he plays a part in the story of S. Winifred ), and finally at Clynnog , where he ended his days on Low Sunday (British reckoning) . As his festival was almost everywhere observed on 21 April , it may perhaps be inferred that this was the date of his death in 642 .
Sir John Edward Lloyd, D.Litt., F.B.A., F.S.A. (1861-1947), Bangor

We recently undertook a survey amongst our email subscriber database. What prompted this was a desire to learn more about the make up of this group of avid users of the site to see how we might improve the service we offer on Realestate.co.nz to buyers, sellers, investors, tenants and any other form of property hunting fanatic!
What we have discovered is very interesting and certainly worthy of sharing. If you participated in the survey; we really appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey and we hope with your help to repeat it again on maybe a quarterly basis as the data is valuable, and to see trends over time for some of the finding will be useful.
To start with we had 398 people complete the survey – a significant number and certainly large enough for the data to be representative of people in the market for property (we are not statisticians nor a research company so we are not trying to make any comment as to statistical margin of error etc).
The first question we asked was as to the status of the respondents.
The largest group (40%) are looking to buy property – this made up of 7% as first time buyers and 32% as general buyers. A fifth of respondents describe themselves as a landlord, with a further 7% saying that they are (or are looking to be) an investor.
We then went on to ask the prospective buyers amongst the respondents when specifically they were looking to buy?
Not surprising was the fact that just under a third were looking to buy (we assume this is intent to be buying / searching actively as opposed to completing the purchase) in the next month. In total it would appear that over 60% of buyers are looking to be buying in the next 6 months in total, this would be expected as subscribers to the email are actively keeping tabs on the property market and receiving daily email alerts of new properties. We will be keen to ask this question again in the future to see how trends change over time by factor of market conditions and seasonality.
Additionally of interest is the fact that 11% are showing a reluctance to buy as they are waiting until the market improves.
Tenants – looking to buy
We also asked the same question of current tenants who expressed an intent to buy a property in the future. Their response was somewhat difference due to their circumstances.
Clearly the key issue for this group of respondents is the need to save for a deposit; a third of the respondents saw this as the key step to buying. Of the remainder 18% said they were looking to buy in the next 6 month, far less than active buyers, but interestingly a lower percentage (8%) felt that they would leave it until the market improves.
Type of property to buy
Going back to the group who are thinking of buying a property we asked them what type of property they were considering buying.
The majority of people (53%) looking to buy were interested in a property that would need a bit of work to be done – clearly the kiwi DIY mindset is still alive and well as people as still keen to add value to properties. This compared to just under a third who really wanted somewhere where the renovations had been completed and the property was ready to move in straight away.
Moving from buyers to sellers we wanted to find out when those people who considered themselves sellers were looking to sell. The vast majority (83%) were looking to sell in the next 6 month, with 4 out of 10 thinking of selling in the next month, or at least putting their property on the market.
How would you sell?
We then posed an interesting question to those looking to sell. We asked them how they were looking to sell their property. Would they use a licensed agent, try and sell it themselves or might they give private selling a go, but more than likely end up using a licensed real estate agent. Having collated the results of this question we compared these with the recent Nielsen online real estate market survey asking the same question.
These results are very interesting. From both surveys the majority of respondents were likely to use a licensed agents, the sample respondents from the Realestate.co.nz email group were slightly more likely than the broader Nielsen market survey.
When it comes to selling privately the difference were significantly different, just 5% of the respondents to the Realestate.co.nz survey indicated that they would try and sell privately as against 11% for the broader Nielsen survey. Of note is the fact that the Nielsen survey was based on questionaires posted on both Trade Me and Realestate.co.nz and this is clearly showing that greater interest in private sales from Trade Me respondents to the Nielsen survey.
Investment Properties
The final set of questions we asked related to investment property. We asked those who described themselves as a landlord or investor how many properties they owned.
70% of those respondents who identified themselves as a landlord or investor had more than 2 properties with 14% having more than 5 properties. Clearly the Realestate.co.nz website is a core resource for investors looking to enhance their property portfolio.
Of these landlord we then asked if they used a Property Manager to manage their property / properties – or if they did themselves. Fully two thirds said that they managed their investment properties themselves with just one third using a professional property manager.
Probing a bit deeper we then asked them why they chose not to use a Property Manager.
Some useful insight here to assist the Property Management companies in providing support for this important sector of the property market.

Bill Cosby seriously made a joke about rape during his stand-up show
So, Bill Cosby took a little trip over to our northern neighbors up in Canada to do a little stand-up.
No big deal, right? Maybe he thought since Canadians are so nice that slipping in a few wisecracks about his recent disgusting rape scandal would be OK? They'd giggle, think it's funny. Ha-ha. Chuckle.
No way, right?
Well, that actually happened.
On Thursday, the once-loved and now widely loathed comedian performed in front of a crowd of about 2,600 people.
More: Why didn't you know about Bill Cosby's rape allegations until now?
It all started when a woman dared to get up in the middle of his set. He asked her where she was going, to which she replied she was getting a drink, and like a well-mannered Canadian, offered to get him one, too.
His reply was as offensive as you could imagine. He reportedly said, "You have to be careful about drinking around me." Yeah, he actually said that to a room full of people.
I'll give you a second to pick your jaw up off the floor because it's about to hit the floor again.
The audience collectively gasped… then applauded!
Yeah, that happened, too!
More: 10 Worst of the worst Bill Cosby memes
I'll give you another second to wrap your head around that, although I am not sure you could. My mind is still baffled by how anyone could find that either funny or applause-worthy.
There was at least one reputable person in the crowd. A man reportedly heckled Cosby, saying, "We don't love you, Bill! You're a rapist."
The heckler was thrown out amid a shower of "boos." (Seriously, they booed the guy who called Cosby a rapist; I just don't understand those Canadians.)
At the end of the show, the crowd gave him a standing ovation.
This is Cosby's second show in Canada this year. Since the rape allegations began last year, the comedian has had to cancel almost a dozen shows.
More: Bill Cosby Rape accusations: a timeline of his career downfall
Don't worry, Canada: If you haven't had enough of Cosby, he has one more show, and by all means, feel free to keep him. You can call him "Canada's Dad" instead or something. No, seriously, keep him. Please.

The Moto G, weaker sibling of the Moto X, is due to take the budget world by storm. At only $179 for a pretty good mid-tier phone, it's incredibly priced and will be unbeatable for those who are on prepaid carriers. And while the US won't see the device until around January, it is now available in Canada and really shows what we can expect here in the States.
Telus has picked the phone up and will begin selling it for $200 Canadian dollars, or about $189 US dollars, off contract. If you do want a contract, you can get the phone for free. But with such a low off contract price, it's hard to justify being stuck in a contract.
Canadian carrier Koodo is also offering the device, but for a different price. It's $200 with no tab, but if you get a $150 use tab, you can get the device for only $50.
With a 4.5-inch 720p display, a 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, a 5MP camera, and a 2,070 mAh battery, it's no slouch. And for such low prices, it's an absolute steal. It might even become a hit.
Hopefully we'll see our carriers offer the device off contract freely, and maybe T-Mobile will even do something unique with the pricing. But this phone is probably best for those on a prepaid carrier, where no contracts and low prices will complement this device perfectly. Are you excited for this device? Leave a comment!

DUNCANVILLE, TEXAS -- My husband had an Edward D. Jones account for years for a 401k rollover. For many years, he had the same advisor with no trouble. Late 2007, we noticed that he had another advisor with another office address but he wasn't notified that his advisor had changed. Evidently, the previous broker sold his business.
When the stock market began diving down, my husband called the advisor and asked what the interest rate would be if he transferred to a simple IRA CD. He asked for nothing to be done until we could verify what the rate would be at our credit union. He immediately got a call back from the advisor saying, "It's all taken care of! 4.04% for 1 year!" We were shocked that he did this without expressed authorization, but decided we'd just stay put until the CD matured early January 2009.
We got the statement in for 2008, and I noticed that the fund had only grown by a little shy of 1.00%. My husband sent notice in writing that he would be closing the account when the CD matures. Imagine our surprise to learn today this Bozo never changed the account to the CD as he said but put it into another fund. This same idiot advised my sweet, elderly mother-in-law to stay in the stock market rather than move her money to a CD. If we had taken his advice, within a week she would have lost the entire amount.
This Edward Jones office is located at 111 S. Cedar Ridge Dr, Suite 111, Duncanville, TX 75116. We are filing complaints with the FTC and seeing if the Securities and Exchange Commission can take action against this man as well. Maybe others have had honest and good results with Edward Jones, but if you are in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, run from this branch!

They said they were leaving and sure enough they did. All the window shades were up. I could see into my neighbor's house. The rooms were bare. The kids toys were gone from the back yard, no car, no van, the white picket fence gate was ajar. Smokey the dog was nowhere to be seen nor heard.
My mind flashed to Ayn Rand's classic 1950's novel, Atlas Shrugged. The books plot line includes the world's brightest minds, industrialists, scientists, entrepreneurs, philosophers, disappearing, simply vanishing as government imposed more taxes, more curbs on creativity and the ability of expand economically. The elite went away and the country went into economic doldrums.
In the case of my neighbors it is the disappearance of middle class professionals. It is something we are seeing more and more in South Florida. Ayn Rand, the sometimes described elitist, probably would have never written a novel about the middle class "worker bees" disappearing. Never the less it is a pretty good story.
These folks are medical professionals. They held good jobs at high profile South Florida facilities. Active in their community they have three kids in elementary schools.
They had to get out.
Taxes, insurance, mortgage, unhappy with the local schools, gas and food prices soaring the list of issues plaguing this otherwise happy family of five.
I was a bit taken back when they told us they had found new jobs, bought a new home, and had checked out several school options and were moving as soon as possible. The biggest shocker: their home sold in 22 days, a huge bit of luck in this slow real estate environment.
They are, I guess, getting settled out west, a state a good distance away from South Florida.
Moving companies claim that they are hauling more people out of Florida than they are bringing in. I remember well during a Florida Keys hurricane evacuation talking to a guy who had a U-Haul trailer hitched to his pick up. "Hell, I am not evacuating, I am leaving town for good," he told me. "Can't find a house, don't make enough money, car insurance is killing me." That was three years ago, not much has changed. People are still leaving, not only to the Carolinas, Georgia, but now Tennessee, and Texas.
Eventually in Atlas Shrugged the nation's greatest minds emerge from their self imposed exile as the government oppression collapsed from lack of economic and political leadership. The question is will my neighbors ever return? Will the thousands of other Floridians who have fled the Sunshine State return? I doubt it. Again they are not the economic elite but they are the professional middle class that makes the economic engine move. And who will replace them?
Our neighbors were in the medical field. Check the classifieds and see how many medical sector jobs are available. Hospitals and clinics are begging for help.
Atlas Shrugged and they are leaving town.

Linux-based security phone to ship with source code
Purism is crowdfunding a security minded "Librem 5" smartphone that runs Linux on an i.MX6 or i.MX8, and offers a 5-inch screen and privacy protections.
After the death of Firefox OS, the discontinuation of the Ubuntu Phone, and Samsung's painfully slow rollout of its Tizen phones, the dream of establishing alternative Linux phone platforms not called Android appeared to be heading for the dustbin of history. Lately, however, several new projects have emerged such as the Raspberry Pi Zero based ZeroPhone and Halium OS project.

Austin Street Art Spots
Baylor Street Art Wall: (pictured above) Often called "graffiti park," "art wall," "castle hill," or "the Foundation," this is the mecca of graffiti spots in Austin. This property was once slated to be condos, and the foundation was poured but things never moved forward from there. Eventually, local artists used the blank concrete foundation as their canvas. Now it is constantly changing, and you're sure to find new works and old favorites covered up from visit to visit. Street art lovers will easily be able to spend hours exploring the plethora of works. Location: 11th & Baylor Street
You're My Butter Half Mural:
Can we get a collective "awwwww?" This is hands down one of my favorite street art pieces in the city. You'll see all types of people posing here, from couples, to people like me who pose with their pets. Either way, the colors and the message can't help but warm your heart. Location: United Way for Greater Austin Building - MLK and Alamo
Smile Even If You Don't Want To:
You can't help but smile when you see this mural. Your smile will be even bigger if you treat yourself to a cupcake while admiring this piece. Location: Hey Cupcake –1511 South Congress
Welcome To Austin Postcard:
This mural was originally completed in 1998 but was recently restored. It's a South Austin staple, and has served as the backdrop to countless family photos, wedding announcements, print ads and more. Austinites, it's worth the visit and taking a cheesy photo alongside of it. Location: South First Street & Annie
I Love You So Much:
This is another mural that has become a staple of Austin. You'll find the famed "I love so much" on shirts, coasters, and in plenty of Austin related art. Tourists and locals always get a kick out of posing in front of the green wall with one of life's simplest messages in the background. Location: Jo's Coffee 1300 South Congress
Hi, How Are You?:
Most people love it because it's weird and very 'Austin.' But here's a little background info: This piece was commissioned in 1993 and painted on the then Sound Exchange record store. The image is actually the album cover of one of artist Daniel Johnston's albums. At the time, the image gained national attention as Kurt Cobain was often spotted wearing a t-shirt with a "Hi, How Are You?" image on the front. Location: 21st & Guadalupe Street
Lamar Street Bridge:
This location serves as a billboard for Austin street art as it changes almost weekly featuring specific holiday related images to Lance Armstrong or Mathew McConaughey. Every time I head downtown on South Lamar, I catch my eyes wandering over to the wall to check out the latest attributions. Location: Northbound on Lamar before you get to 5th Street

Tim Bennett and Sally Erickson discuss the influences behind this heartfelt and riveting documentary on "Life at the End of Empire." Framed in Tim's personal story of awakening to the big global issues threatening everyone's survival. It will touch you and make you think. Episode 72.
Food, as Cecile Andrews suggests, is a metaphor for life, in that our relationship to food is also suggestive of our relationship to living and how we connect with the world around us. "Slow is Beautiful" suggests that happiness can be found through being more mindful of our actions. Such an idea is suggestive that happiness itself is a tool to help us achieve more environmentally responsible living.
Dr. William E. Rees is an ecological economist and professor at the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning and co- creator of the Ecological Footprint Analysis. The footprint model calculates the area of the Earth's productive surface necessary to support a particular lifestyle or level of consumption. Dr Rees explains that our present level of resource consumption, coupled with our current population growth, exceeds Earth's carrying capacity and, therefore, is not sustainable. Unless we change our consumption patterns now, modern civilization as we know it is doomed to collapse.

When you, mommy and daddy left the hospital we were blessed to have you stay with us for a few days before you went home to Utah. Then Grandma got to drive home to Utah with you, mommy and your brother. Papa and Grandma both wish that we could see you and your brother all the time. We are lucky to be able to see you as much as we do. I thought I'd share our visits with you. You can see just how fast you have grown up.
The next time we saw you was at Easter. You were already developing a cute little personality. You were starting to smile and you loved to cuddle. Grandma and Papa were so thankful for the time we got to spend with you. We went on an Easter egg hunt and spent time at a couple of parks, but most of all we just loved holding you.
You loved water in general and we enjoyed a day at the pool.
Grandma and papa would take you and your brother on long walks after dinner. Sometimes we ended up at the park. You already liked the slides.
Mommy even introduced you to solids while we were there because she knew how much we would want to watch.
In August you came for a quick visit. Grandma and Papa took you to the beach. You thought it was a lot of fun, but decided to sleep through it. You loved the spa and going for walks in the stroller. You were trying really hard to crawl and you were sitting up all by yourself.
In September when you came you were almost 7 months old. By now it was apparant that you were a real charmer. You knew how to work a room and people couldn't help but comment on how cute you were. We were busy while you were here. We went to the pool and the Wild Animal Park.
You were crawling everywhere too!
And you danced with your mommy at your Uncle's wedding.
You were even one of the only males allowed at MVCC's Women's Retreat.
In October, Grandma got to come to Utah for your mommy's Women's Retreat. An added bonus was seeing you for a few days. You were trying to figure out how to pull yourself up to stand. I told your mom that she was going to be in a world of trouble because you were in a big hurry to be a big boy.
The next time we saw you, it was Christmas. You were taking steps, getting into everything. Feeding yourself and growing like a weed. You loved to torment the dog and your brother.
You looked so cute in your Christmas outfit.
And in the matching outfits Grandma bought you and your brother.
We took you out to watch mommy and Papa blow snow off of the driveway one morning. The noise of the snow blower promptly put you to sleep.
We had a great visit. The best part was getting one of your hugs.
In February, you came to visit Grandma and Papa. While you were here we went to the Wild Animal Park and Sea World. You are walking everywhere and trying so hard to be as big as your brother.
Your visit was just three weeks before your actual birthday so we decided that we should celebrate with friends and family while you were here.. What a fun day you had. I doubt that any little boy has enjoyed their birthday cake more.
Today you will officially be one. Mommy and Daddy have chosen today to dedicate you to the Lord. Grandma and Papa wish that we could be there to celebrate with you. Even though we don't get to see you as often as we would like, we treasure the times we do spend together! We are so blessed to have you as our grandson! We hope that we get to see you tons this year! Before any of us know it, you will be two. We can't wait to see you change and grow and become a toddler. Have a very Happy Birthday Little Buddy! We love you!

The latest funding crisis facing the CTA, Metra and Pace is also jeopardizing paratransit service for up to 40,000 people with disabilities, officials are warning.
Unless a $30.5 million budget shortfall can be remedied, paratransit funding will run out this fall and service will be suspended, according to Pace, which provides transportation for the handicapped in the six-county region as well as suburban bus and vanpool service.
Closing the looming budget gap has pitted the CTA and Metra against Pace in an interagency squabble over $25 million in federal capital funds that Pace says it needs to address the paratransit crisis.

Tal Shpanzter's photography is ethereal and mysterious. Longtime Greenpoint resident, the photographer uses the neighborhood as an inspiration board for portraits, landscapes, and the human figure. From dreamy stills to mysterious-but-menacing photo essays, her talent is deep.
What drew me to Tal's work is part of her artist statement: "being drawn to work that is yet undefined." I, too, am drawn to those secret or developing moments. A small, pure piece that blossoms into something other worldly.

Product news from the 03/13/07 news brief
Pfizer announced that the FDA has approved Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium) tablets to reduce the risk of non-fatal heart attacks, fatal and non-fatal strokes, certain types of heart surgery, hospitalization for heart failure, and chest pain in patients with heart disease. Lipitor is the first cholesterol-lowering medication to receive FDA approval for the reduction of the risk of hospitalization for heart failure. This new approval expands the use of Lipitor to patients at high risk for cardiovascular events because of established heart disease such as prior heart attack, prior heart surgery or chest pain with evidence of clogged arteries. Previously, Lipitor was approved to reduce cardiovascular events in patients without heart disease.

Allergy Relief Moms Can Rely On
PediaCare®, the Trusted Brand for Children, Expands Line with New 24 Hour One-Dose Allergy Medicine for Children Two Years and Older
Mar 30, 2011, 09:35 ET
IRVINGTON, N.Y., March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Itchy, runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and itchy throat – we all know the symptoms that can make our children miserable from allergies. And just in the nick of time as we approach the peak allergy season, PediaCare®, a trusted brand of children's non-prescription medicines for the past quarter of a century, is introducing new one-dose per day, Children's PediaCare® 24 Hour Allergy.
A widespread problem, seasonal allergies affect approximately 40 percent of children in the United States, as reported by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology(1). As common as allergies are, many parents are still confused about which over-the-counter allergy products are safe for their young children.
Specially formulated for children, just one dose of new Children's PediaCare® 24 Hour Allergy with cetirizine hydrochloride, provides all day relief from indoor and outdoor allergy symptoms.
"We listened to what the moms were looking for – a safe and effective allergy product for their children, ages two and up, that works, has only one dose per day and tastes good," said Sherry Polevoy, Senior Brand Manager for PediaCare®. "Parents don't have to worry about redosing during the day, it's dye free and it's a flavor that kids love – grape."
The launch of new Children's PediaCare® 24 Hour Allergy follows the recent introduction of PediaCare®'s new safe and effective cold/cough/fever and digestive remedies for children and infants.
In addition to the extensive product line offerings, PediaCare® has also developed a new comprehensive website, www.pediacare.com. It has a symptom checker/product selector that helps guide parents to select the PediaCare® product that best addresses the symptoms their child is experiencing, sick day printable games, puzzles and coloring pages and tips for parents on all things pertaining to their child's health, as well as detailed information on all the products that PediaCare® offers. The new PediaCare® website also has the PediaCare® Shopper's Guide iPhone application which can be downloaded for free.
The PediaCare® brand of safe, effective medicines for children and infants has been relied on by healthcare professionals and moms for more than 26 years. PediaCare® products are available at drugstores, supermarkets and other retailers nationwide.

Health Study – Love Beats Money When It Comes To Happiness :London: Things that matter most for our happiness are social relationships and mental and physical health than economic factors, according to a study by the London School of Economics.
Health Study – Love Beats Money When It Comes To Happiness
Having a partner is as good for you as being made unemployed is bad for you.
The research by the LSE looked at responses from 200,000 people around the world on how different factors impacted their state of mind.
It concludes that mental health is the biggest single predictor of individual happiness.
On a scale of one to 10, the doubling of someone\'s pay saw their happiness rise by less than 0.2.
However, having a partner saw happiness rise by 0.6 – losing a partner by separation or death saw the same impact downwards.
"The evidence shows that the things that matter most for our happiness and for misery are our social relationships and our mental and physical health…Having a partner is as good for you as being made unemployed is bad for you," said report co-author Richard Layard, whose study was based on several international surveys.
"In the past, the state has successively taken on poverty, unemployment, education and physical health.
But equally important now are domestic violence, alcoholism, depression and anxiety conditions, alienated youth, exam-mania and much else.
These should become centre-stage," he said.
The study found suffering from depression or anxiety disorders is more common than unemployment and it also reduces happiness by 0.7 points.
Eliminating depression and anxiety would reduce misery by 20 per cent compared to just 5 per cent if policymakers focused on eliminating poverty, the report said.
"Happiness is hugely affected by the ethos of a society, which affects everyone in it.
For example, happiness is higher in societies where people trust each other.
If those who trust others rises from 0 per cent to 100 per cent, happiness rises by 1 whole point.
Freedom is also a crucial determinant of happiness.
So no-one who favours happiness should favour a totalitarian state," it said.
The findings were discussed at a conference on wellbeing at the LSE today and will be discussrd tomorrow, co-organised with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and other leading institutions.

An innovative concentrated solar power plant featuring what has been described as the tallest solar tower in the world is being built in Israel.
With 50,000 computer-controlled mirrors focusing solar rays onto the 240m tower, the plant is expected to produce 121 megawatts of power, covering 1 per cent of Israel's electricity needs.
The plant, located in the Negev desert, not only features the tallest tower, but also larger mirrors, which, unlike in earlier installations, are connected via a Wi-Fi and not cable network. Using Wi-Fi instead of cables reduces cost, said the project's developer Megalim Solar Power, which hopes to reduce the gap between concentrated solar power technology and photovoltaics, which currently make up 95 per cent of all solar power installations around the world.
"We're making strides in efficiency, we're making strides in compressing the time of construction," said Eran Gartner, chief executive of Israeli-based Megalim. "We're going down a learning curve that will help us to offer solar energy at the most competitive rates."
Compared with photovoltaic panels, which can be installed virtually everywhere and at whatever scale, concentrated solar power projects have to be built on a relatively large area and only make economic sense on a larger scale. High cost has been seen as the major obstacle to wider deployment.
The technology uses mirrors to concentrate the sun's rays onto a tower equipped with a thermal turbine, which generates electricity.
In addition to some cost reduction, the Negev project managed to address another concern related to the operations of concentrated solar power plants – the fact that the temperature increase around the power-generating tower could virtually incinerate birds.
To protect local wildlife, the project's developers devised technology that sprays vaporised grape skin extract into the surrounding air, which repels the birds, and emits sounds of predators. In addition, the firm has also developed algorithms to lessen the convergence of rays from mirrors on standby, so the air does not get as hot.
The privately funded project, worth $773m, will benefit from an agreement with the Israeli government, which will buy its electricity at an above-market price.
The project's shareholders include General Electric and power tower pioneer Brightsource Energy.
The Israeli government aims to meet 10 per cent of the country's energy needs with renewable resources by 2020.

It's not just the Bears season that rests on quarterback Kyle Orton's shoulders; it seems the fate of unsightly facial hair does too.
Orton, whose frequently unkempt whiskers have earned him the nickname "Neckbeard," has become a cult hero to some die-hard fans, sports bloggers and those with Barbasol allergies. As the Bears season kicks off Sunday, supporters believe Orton could do for facial hair what Joe Namath did for pantyhose and Jim McMahon for "Rozelle" headbands.

I run a small company and I'm often getting invited to employees' parties for their kids' events, like graduations, weddings and first Communions. I hate to offend them, but if I go to everything, my spring and summer weekends would never be my own. Can I pick and choose, or is it all or nothing?
Render to employees that which is employees' and to weekends that which is weekends.
You're an employer, not a relative. If you're worried about offending, perplexed about picking and choosing and crunched on weekends, the situation is out of hand. As an employer, you owe your employees a just wage, good working conditions and personal dignity. You don't owe them your attendance at their significant family events. As a matter of fact, too much familiarity can undermine the working relationship. What if you need to discipline or terminate an employee? Would you hand them a pink slip at the birthday party? Be clear in your own mind what you want to do. There are no obligations. Then weigh each invitation on its own merits based on the event and relationship. For instance, the wedding of a long-term employee is not equal to the graduation of a recent employee's son or daughter. A congratulatory card (no gift necessary) is sufficient and courteous. Then go fishing.

Where I play dress-up...
Besides attempting to organize by color, there is no rhyme or reason to this madness. That black shopping bag has more clothes in it -- not recently shopped clothes, but things I couldn't fit anywhere else! I need to employ some tips from Casee & my favorite magazine, & I should switch out my hangers for matching ones! I'll show you the finished product if/when it happens... I'm so grateful for everything. ♥

I love that you mentioned wanting matching hangers and I'm NOT the only one. When I married Kevin I refused to keep any of his hangers that didn't match mine. Selfish, right? :)ReplyDelete
On one of your 'closet revealing' I could have sworn you mentioned being a little dissatisfied with how your closet looked and the first thing that popped into my mind was, "This girl just needs matching hangers." I hope that one day you will find them and they will make you as happy as they make me. :)
Ooh la! I love. Superior job on the color organization, of course - isn't that fun? I find mine are starting to get a little confused because I'm lazy and don't always sort fresh laundry when I go to hang it back up. "Yellow...eh, close enough to brown."ReplyDelete
And I'm coveting your shoe tree! My sister got one of those at Meijer (I think) recently and I thought it was the coolest thing. I've slowly started to incorporate thinner/matching hangers, too. I don't remember if I mentioned in my post because it may have been later that I saw them, but Real Simple makes very thin hangers that are designed to take up less space! They sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Anyway, I'll stop now. Lovely seeing your closet, and thanks for the shout-out!
I love your shoe rack!!ReplyDelete
It looks so organized. Kudos to you for buckling down and cleaning it up. I love that you color coordinated everything. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 2, 2011 at 12:48 AM
I need one of those shoe trees. My closet is color coordinated too, but I have shirts separated from skirts separated from jackets separated from dresses.ReplyDelete
your shoes are so organized, i am jealous :)ReplyDelete
<3 steffy
I love that you organized your clothes by color. I thought about doing that myself but I think I could go crazy not having them organized by style (dresses, shirts, cardigans, etc.) I really love the rainbowed look though!ReplyDelete
So many clothes! Absolutely love! Thank you for the sweet comment!ReplyDelete
xo, Elsie
I used to organize my jeans by shade lol. Now I'm lucky if my clothes make it out of the hamper lolReplyDelete
I so need to clean my closet! Your closet looks so cool =) Love this, thank you for giving us a peek ;)ReplyDelete
Also, thank you for your amazing comments love, Catherine is so excited to have another follower!

The Real Simple slimline hangers are an absolute must. You can fit so much more in your closet if you use them!ReplyDelete

Quick Reference
Athenian politician, about whom little is known. In the late 460s he became the leading opponent of Cimon. He resisted the sending of help to the Spartans in 462 during the helot revolt, on the ground that Sparta was Athens' rival for power. Supported by Pericles, he took advantage of Cimon's absence, or less probably of the feeling of anger on his dismissal from Sparta, to pass measures taking from the Areopagus its judicial powers of political importance. This aroused such strong feelings that Cimon was ostracized (see ostracism), but later Ephialtes was assassinated.

Empowering consumers to demand higher standards from their advisers and the industry, to ensure financial planners put the best interests of their clients first.
To make Adviser Ratings the most trusted place in Australia for consumers when finding or connecting with an adviser by providing an easy to understand, transparent online platform and to help the industry respond to consumers who demand something better.
Transparency – information is power, we aim to bring disparate sources of information together so consumers can make better decisions.
Curiosity - always asking questions of ourselves, our consumers and the industry usually "how can it be better?"
Authenticity - In what we say and what we do by staying true to the mission, vision and values. Put simply we believe we work for the best interests of consumers in financial advice.
When it suits Having Fun— We get energy from not being too serious too often as some of the best ideas come in the light not the shade. If financial advice isn't about having the funds to have fun when you are older what is it about?
Angus and Chris, co founders of Adviser Ratings, met whilst working together at One Big Switch. There they were behind the scenes working on massive consumer switches where large numbers of people pooled their negotiating power in search of better offers.
Angus and Chris' financial services and consumer empowerment backgrounds converge to create an opportunity to be at the forefront of changing the financial advice industry.
We are proud to present Adviser Ratings. It's been said we can be to financial planners what TripAdvisor is to hotels. It's more accurate to say we are part of the emerging collaborative consumption economy where technology and bright ideas bring those who need a financial service together with those who provide it at a better cost, in better ways and with greater transparency.
While we may facilitate the review and introduction of Advisers, Customers of Adviser Ratings will be responsible for entering into their own agreement with Advisers introduced through our website. Adviser Ratings does not provide personal financial advice nor do we recommend or suggest a particular adviser is right for you.
