I was impressed with HR Wench's super-accurate list titled, "Components of HR that I Hate."
HR Wench hits the big ones that suck — including safety, employee time off policies, and stupid managers. The list totally rocks. (I would be screaming amen & hallelujah if I were a member of a gospel choir.)
I'm feeling inspired. Here are some things that I really hate about Human Resources.
1. Hyper-competitive women who block the forward progress of my career.
If Human Resources were football, these women would be called for pass interference. The practice of HR suffers from too many women (usually boomers) who lead our departments but don't care enough about the practice of Human Resources to mentor younger women. These hyper-competitive women love trendy programs that look good on paper & generate work for their departments (e.g., "Let's start a diversity program! Out of nowhere!"); however, the results of these trendy initiatives are often negligible. There is no link between the activity and business productivity.
I have a message for these older women who lead so many HR departments: you can't retire soon enough.
2. Male executives who think I work in HR because I want to find a husband.
Here's my message to all the guys who misconstrue my career choice: I don't work in Human Resources because I need a husband. I work in Human Resources because I'm bad at math & science. Let's just be honest, anyway — you're not husband material.
3. Difficult employees who think that HR should act as their advocates.
I advocate for you to find a new job.
4. The assumption that I work in Human Resources because I'm good with people.
I may seem bubbly and sweet, but I'm hardly a people person. I don't have any keen insights into why some people are dumber than others, and the only thing I can offer is a common sense approach to managing people. Unfortunately, I can't offer much common sense unless you bring me a donut.
5. The belief that Human Resources professionals have excellent conflict-resolution skills.
I'm no more qualified to solve your problems than you are. If I had better conflict-resolution skills, I would be on better terms with 99% of my family. Instead, I offer conflict-encouragement. If you come to my office and tell me your problems, I will encourage you to confront the person who is causing you trouble. It's not because I want you to resolve your problems, but rather, I want you to leave me alone so I can get back to Zappos.
Other HR readers — what did I miss?

NEPCon was created in 1994 as a part of the sustainability movement growing out of the 1992 Earth Summit. By implementing a variety of successful programmes over the years, we have learnt that problems are there to be solved, that the forces of change are powerful, and that it takes hard work, patience and perseverance to cause and sustain change. This learning from the past informs our current thinking and strategy.
Unless we adopt smart approaches, growing human populations are bound to lead to depletion of natural resources, widespread pollution and climate change.
To pass on the Earth to coming generations in a good shape, we must urgently invent and adopt more sustainable ways of living, sourcing and trading. The good news is that it can be done, and that the human race has the power to do it.
This is why our vision and mission are all about people.

Corn tortillas were a staple in our fridge in Austin. You can pick up a bag of 10 at HEB for less than a dollar, and they keep in the cheese drawer, and reheat nicely in a hot skillet or directly over the fire on Saturdays when you need breakfast tacos. There is no supply of corn tortillas here in Penang. You can get a version of a flour tortilla, even whole wheat ones, and sometimes you can find Old El Paso crispy corn taco shells at the import aisle, but no soft corn. I miss them. A lot.
So when I saw masa harina on the same import shelf last week (we got a whole Bob's Red Mill section – woot!), I took a chance. How hard could it be? One whiff of that corny goodness upon cutting the bag open and I didn't care if it took me all night, we were getting corn tortillas. Luckily, like most things you can do yourself, it wasn't so hard, and the end result had me thinking I might never go for a bag of premade ones again. The texture was phenomenal, and was delivered to my belly in just 45 minutes after an internet search for a recipe. We even had on hand my favorite soft corn taco toppers: Fantastic brand taco filling (TVP), avocado, grated carrot, salsa, and sprouts. Yum!!
Homemade Corn Tortillas
- 1 3/8 cup masa harina
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/8 cup boiling water
- Use a spoon to combine masa harina, salt and boiling water in a medium sized bowl. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rest for about 10-15 minutes, the time it takes to have a post-pool shower with your toddler.
- Now that the mixture has cooled, use your hands to kneed the dough inside the bowl. If it is all crumbly and not sticking together in a ball, add some more warm water. If it is sticking to the sides of the bowl, add a bit more flour. I found I didn't need to add anything, but its a little humid here.
- Heat a skillet over med-high heat. I read cast iron is good, I only had a "eco" non-stick, which worked fine.
- Break off enough dough to roll into a golfball sized shape. Form the ball and replace the damp towel over the dough.
- Now's the time to roll it out. I used a (imported, precious) ziploc freezer bag, top and sides cut off to make a longer sheet of plastic. Put the ball between the sheets and roll to about 1/8″ thick. You could use a tortilla press, or a rolling pin, I used a Nalgene bottle.
- Remove the tortilla from the plastic, and place on the hot skillet for 20 seconds. Flip for 10 seconds. Flip again – 10 more seconds, this time using a spoon to press on the middle of the tortilla so the sides puff up (this puts steam inside and gives it the great texture. Keep flipping and pressing, 10 seconds a side until it shows some brown spots and has dried out. I found each took about 60 seconds.
- Remove from heat and store wrapped in foil, wrapped in a kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough. Makes 10 7″ tortillas. I kind of got a rhythm going with forming the ball and rolling out the next one in the 20 and 10 second times where no other action is required.
- If you somehow have leftovers (even Miles ate 3 of these), store in foil, in a ziploc bag. Reheat in the skillet.

Brett Freeman, Principal here at Woking College. Welcome to our College.
Guidelines for Students
Important information for students taking examinations
Any deadlines, news or dates can be found on Moodle, via the Weekly Bulletin, from tutors, and from the Exams Officer, who is situated in the Registry Office.
You can pay for exams and re-sits by using WisePay.
Exam Entries:
- Your teachers will make all your initial exam entries.
- If you wish to resit any units, this will be up to you to organize. Dates and times for applying for resits will be advertised in the Weekly Bulletin or on Moodle, where you can also find the necessary form.
- You will receive from your Personal Tutor a copy of your Statement of Entry. It is very important to check all the information carefully and to ensure details are correct. In particular, the spelling of names and date-of-birth. Bring any issues to the Exams Officer.
- Any queries should be taken to the Exams Officer in the Registry Office.
- At a later date, the Exams Timetable will become available on Moodle, outside the Locked Exams Office, and on notice boards around the college.
Where do examinations take place?
Exams take place in a variety of locations in the College. The main location is the Sports Hall. Specialist exams take place in the languages department, music and music technology rooms, art & design rooms & computing rooms. The LRC is also used when large numbers of students are sitting exams.
The timetable on Moodle will list the date, time, location and duration of your exams. Remember if you are doing multiple exams in one session, to add the times together. You will also find the seating plans for exams on Moodle.
Assembling for the examinations
- Copies of the seating plan will be posted on the walls in the corridor. Each desk is marked with a candidate number, so it is vital that you know this number. Your candidate number is the last four digits on your college ID card.
- Exams start at 9.00am and 1.30am. Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the exam.
- We will not delay the start of an exam for late arrivals.
- There is no secure storage available for bags/backpacks etc – where possible do not bring bags with you to exams.
Late arrival and absences
- Once an exam has started, late entry may be permitted (within 30 minutes of the official start time), but this has to be reported to the exam board, who may refuse to accept your work.
- If you are late – enter the exam room quietly, and do not disturb other candidates.
- If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, it is at the Exam Officer's discretion if you are allowed to sit the exam.
- If you decide to withdraw from an exam at any stage, you must inform the exams officer. You may have to pay the cost of the exam entry.
If you are unwell
- If you are too ill to attend an exam, telephone the College and leave a message.
- If your illness is contagious, you will not be allowed to sit the exam.
- It is essential that you obtain a doctor's certificate for any absences.
What should you bring to the exam?
- Take into the exam room only the materials and equipment that are allowed, and these should be in a clear pencil case or bag.
- Your student ID card (or other photographic ID) for identification. Your card needs to be visible on your desk during the exam.
- Bring spare black pens, sharp pencils, rubbers and rulers, coloured pencils or inks may be used only for diagrams, maps, charts, etc. When required, bring drawing instruments and calculators, protractor and compass.
What shouldn't you bring?
- Mobile phones, MP3 players, iPods, or any other communication/storage devices - from 2016, these are not allowed in the examination room at all, even if turned off and in bags.
- Calculator cases, bags.
- Correction fluid (Tippex) or similar.
- Unauthorised notes of formulae in any form.
- Hats (this includes hoodies too).
- You are not allowed to share or borrow equipment from others during the exam.
- You must not use a dictionary or computer spell checker unless you are told that you may do so.
Please note that the College cannot be held responsible for bags or valuables that are left in the locked room. We recommend you do not bring valuable items – phones and iPods etc. - on days when you are sitting an exam.

Consultation on EU cross-border transmission infrastructure
ERGEG review (31 pages, Microsoft Word) of the current regulatory arrangements for new cross-border electricity transmission infrastructure within the European Union. The paper appears to suggest that regulators should be given a Community law duty to take account of interests of "European or regional customers", and that this would enable them to work together to provide a full cross-border "regulatory contract" for interconnectors. Comments by Friday 1 December 2006.

Hood Quarterly, autumn/winter 2010-11
25th Anniversary Issue
The term docent, originally from the Latin, means someone who teaches or instructs.The Hood Museum of Art has been extremely fortunate over the past twenty-five years to have a wide range of community members volunteer their time and energy and serve as docents, or gallery teachers at the museum. Docents learn about—and then teach others about—all of the museum's collections and exhibitions. In a single year this can encompass art as diverse as frescoes by the Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco (located in Baker Library), ancient Assyrian reliefs, African figural sculpture, American, European, and Native American objects, and paintings by contemporary abstract artist Frank Stella. They are lifelong learners who give back to the community by sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for art with others.
These extraordinary individuals contribute hundreds of hours each year to the Hood and increase exponentially the museum's ability to create learning encounters and cultivate teaching with original works of art. Engaging visitors ranging in age from preschool through seniors, docents lead tours for roughly four thousand school children and adults each year. If you multiply that by the twenty-five years this museum has been open, the number is transformed into a staggering 100,000 visitors for whom the docents have provided personalized tours and programs. Without their dedication and commitment, the impact of the museum and the opportunity for people to make personal connections with visual art would be reduced dramatically. We thank our docents for all that they contribute to the work of the museum and the life of the community.

The average insurance company requires a lengthy application and requests answers to personal questions before insurance quotations are supplied although our system only uses zip data.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2014
Damage that can happen to a home from severe weather or unexpected situations can be hard to pay for out of pocket for a person without insurance. The Quotes Pros company is now using its 50-state provider network to produce homeowner insurance quotes at http://quotespros.com/homeowners-insurance.html.
The policies that are available to American homeowners through the network are offered as basic or customized plans. Because the value of a home can raise or decrease premiums paid, the Quotes Pros system uses zip codes to identify the neighborhood where homes are situated to help determine the policy pricing.
"The average insurance company requires a lengthy application and requests answers to personal questions before insurance quotations are supplied although our system only uses zip data," said a Quotes Pros rep.
The quotes review that is part of the acquisition process of pricing is one downside to the insurance industry. Companies that coordinate quote requests do not provide applicable discounts or price drops based on homeowner supplied information.
"The Quotes Pros company system displays rates from different insurers to allow owners of homes to choose the best prices when examining different providers," the rep included.
The Quotes Pros company is one of the top sources of providing consumer information for the insurance industry in the United States. With greater expansion expected this year, consumers will have the ability to explore more precise price points for insurance products that are now being marketed nationally.
About QuotesPros.com
The QuotesPros.com company has adjusted the size and length of its quotation system to help drivers find auto insurance, health and homeowner policies this year. The company network of private insurers helps to calculate consumer rates. The QuotesPros.com company has added to its series of tools that are accessible this year and plans to further expand the access granted to the public inside of its national platform database.

Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it moves easily across the pan. Add the onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and thyme leaves. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato, cook for about 2 minutes more, then add the stock 2 tablespoons at a time, bringing to a simmer before each addition. Simmer the bolognese until it is concentrated but not yet dry, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Moisten the polenta with 2 tablespoons of water, mixing well with your hands. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add a pinch of salt and gradually stir in the polenta. Stirring constantly, bring the polenta to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook the polenta, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer grainy, about 30 minutes. Stir the olive oil into the polenta, season with salt, and remove it from the heat.
TO ASSEMBLE: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spoon 1/2 the polenta into a medium baking dish and cover with 1/2 of the sauce. Spoon in the remaining polenta, spread it evenly, then sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Transfer the remaining sauce to a small saucepan and reserve.
Bake the gratin until the top is golden, about 40 minutes. Just before serving, warm the reserved sauce over low heat. Divide the gratin and sauce among 4 plates and serve.

For March beauty I decided I was going to head over to the Korean Pop Up at Nordstrom to try a few new products. Here are some products that now have a place in my beauty routine.
The IPKN is the prefect primer for spring/summer adding a radiant glow under your foundation or alone for the no make-up, make-up look.
Let's be honest when investing in eyeshadow it either has to be super special or be multi-functional. This Belleme is both. It has just the right amazing of shine without being overpowering. To change the look completely just add water for a more intense color.
Don't let the package fool you. This too cool for school pumpkin mask removes all toxins while you sleep, no effort required.
This VANT mask has a different job and that is to nourish, and hydrate dull, dry skin while you sleep. Unlike the pumpkin mask which removes the everyday toxins.
Can you say magic in a bottle? This goes on mousse and magically turns into a lite oil that absorbs right into your body and leaves a sheen. My favorite part is that its lite, its not a rich oil that makes you feel sticky.
Finding the right lip color for spring is task. Usually I get a few new colors each season and then wear them non-stop. I found this Touch In Sol orange colored lip that goes on a bit like a stain but dries like a stick.
The mascara that has little pieces of paper in it that extends your lashes.. enough said.

While Hurricane Isaac is causing big headaches for those living along Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville - with the worst of the high water likely yet to come - other areas of the city are faring somewhat better.
Trees and large branches are down here and there and debris is scattered about, but most roads are open and free of significant standing water.
One home in Old Golden Shores was badly damaged, however, when a large tree - or part of it - crashed through the front of the house. Police said no one was inside at the time of the incident.
Very few vehicles were on the roads at 11 a.m. Wednesday, and many of those were Mandeville police cruisers.
At U.S. 190 and East Causeway Approach, Mary Lee Donuts was open for business - and business was steady.

Awaiting news on a Yorkshire Alpine Swift, I took some time out this morning to do some online updates. I was slowly trawling through emails and eventually came through one from local Tring birder Ian Williams entitled Nuthatch and including his weekend photographic results from the reservoirs. Ian had texted me at 0830 hours yesterday morning with a first-year Little Gull he had found on Startop's and having seen a 'bagfull' at the ressies this year it almost went straight over my head. Anyway, it was gone 1700 hours when I finally got in from work yesterday evening and although I discussed with Carmel the possibility of me checking it out, I fell asleep on the sofa through tiredness. When I reawakened at around 1900 hours, it was time for the Spain-Italy match so I gave it a miss - what a mistake that was.
Anyhow, to get back on track, I started to upload Ian's images on to my Tring Reservoirs blog site - starting first with the juvenile Nuthatch. Then, without opening any of the shots, I started a new thread on the Little Gull. The first image started to unravel on the blogger screen and I could hardly believe what I was seeing - the bird appeared to be a SABINE'S GULL. I then continued uploading all six images and they were all of a Sabine's Gull ! Surely Ian could not have got it wrong I thought - perhaps he had mixed up the shots. I phoned him straight away and questioned him - there was no doubt that it was yesterday's bird. What a mega - and around all day without anyone other than Ian and MC seeing it. Ian was as mortified as me and apologised repeatedly for the unfortunate misid. I felt physically sick as here again I was expecting to miss out on a mega that should have been just 15 minutes drive down the road. In fact the stress of missing such an excellent bird locally, in addition to the recent Savi's Warbler, Eastern Crowned Warbler and Spotted Sandpiper, set my migraine off and I struggled to think straight.
I scrambled my mobile and informed numerous contacts of the incredulous news. Fortunately, MC would be back on site within ten minutes. I was praying that the Sabine's had been blown inland from the Atlantic on the weekend's strong southwesterlies, the same weather displaying large and unusual numbers of Pomarine Skuas. I was incredibly lucky - the bird was still there.
JT picked me up shortly later and within half an hour we were on site. The SABINE'S GULL was affording exceptional views - flying back and forth at just 5-10 yards range. Local birders were quick to turn out - including Bill Pegrum, Mike & Rose Collard, Warren Claydon, Dave Parmenter, Dave Hutchinson, Martin Parr, Francis Buckle, Roy Hargreaves, Lucy Flower, Simon West - and many more. The bird was favouring the NE corner (Bucks section) of Startop's End Reservoir and only occasionally foraging into the Hertfordshire section of the reservoir but what a bird it was - and what a stunning performer - it was a real photographer's delight.
Sabine's Gulls are exceptional in that they undergo a complete moult in their first year in early spring - a reverse of the moult seasons of other gulls. Also, unlike most other gulls, which start the post-juvenile moult at or shortly after fledging, Sabine's Gull retains full juvenile plumage throughout the first autumn until arrival in the southern wintering areas, where the post-juvenile head and body moult to first-winter plumage takes place during November and December. This is followed by a complete moult during the following February to April, from first-winter to a very adult-like first-summer plumage but lacking a full hood (Piet Meeth in Grant 1986). This was our bird.
In every respect, the bird appeared very adult-like, with the mantle, scapulars and back uniform grey, with thin white scapular and tertial crescents, wholly white underparts and a wholly white tail. Striking upperwing pattern, with the inner wing-coverts and innermost secondaries uniform grey and the remainder of secondaries, most of the outer greater coverts, the outermost median and lesser coverts and the inner primaries white. The alula and outer coverts of the outer wing were contrastingly black and the outer five primaries black with obvious white tips and white tongues on the inner webs. The underwing was clearly white, with the white secondaries and inner primaries forming broad and translucent white triangles on the trailing edge of the inner wing reflecting the upperwing pattern.
The tail was markedly forked and very white and did not appear to be particularly worn. The head was white with a black collar and a smudgy grey hood, confined mainly to the ear-coverts and nape, with some grey extending onto the neck side.
The legs and feet were a dull pink whilst the bill appeared to be all-black with just a very small hint of a paler tip at very close range.
Unusually, the bird was quite vocal, interacting with the 3 or 4 feeding Common Terns. A rather Arctic Tern-like 'krrr' uttered on several occasions
There are six previous records of Sabine's Gull at Tring Reservoirs, all but one in the 'Great Storm' of October 1987. Two adults were discovered on Marsworth on 16 October 1987, only to be followed by a juvenile on Wilstone on 17 October and two different adults on Wilstone from 18-21 October. One of these remained until 23 October feeding on flooded fields at nearby Long Marston during the day. Two years later, an adult flew east over Startop's End at 1255 hours on 22 November 1989.
At the same time in October 1987, Barry Reed recorded a juvenile at Amwell GP at 1300 hours on 16th, whilst Graham White saw different adults later that day at the same site at 1745 and 1810 hours. An adult was also seen at Rye Meads at 0705 the following day (17 October).
In 1988, a juvenile first seen at Hilfield Park Reservoir on 23 September remained until 1000 hours the following day.
In neighbouring Buckinghamshire, two adults were seen at Willen Lake on 13 October 1981. Then, following the Great Storm, a juvenile flying NE over Colnbrook village on 17 October 1987 was followed by up to three adults in flooded roadside fields at Colnbrook from 21-28 October 1987.
The Startop's first-summer Sabine's Gull continued to perform in poor weather up until dusk eventually roosting on the artificial platforms, pleasing over 100 observers in the interim period. A very popular bird indeed.
Ian Williams is to be congratulated for obtaining such outstanding initial images that enabled my instantaneous identification and for getting them to me in such swift time. Sabine's Gull is such a rare local bird that it is understandable his mistake, especially as he had only seen one before. A truly momentous and memorable event, enjoyed by many.
Not much else to report today in the conditions - a single Grey Wagtail, 5 Sand Martins and around 70 Common Swifts.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Alley Sprouse and Jana Gross each scored a team-high 12 points apiece in a 65-54 loss to the Lees-McRae Bobcats on Tuesday night. The double-double is Sprouse's second of the season as the Tornado fall to 4-20 overall, 4-12 in Conference Carolinas play.
Sprouse, a native of Newport, Tenn., recorded her second double-double of the season with a 12-point, 10-rebound performance against the Bobcats. She went 5-of-11 from the field and six of her 10 rebounds were on the offensive end, helping toward 11 second-chance points for King.
Lees-McRae (8-13, 4-11) shot 50 percent from the field and ruled the paint with 44 of their 65 points registered from close range. They scored 14 points on the fast break and scored 19 points on 16 King turnovers.
Sprouse scored all 12 of her points in the second half where she shot 5-of-7 from the field and both of her free throw shots. Gross spread out her 10 points evenly between halves with six in each half and shot 3-of-6 overall on the day. Kelly Jackson (Lynchburg, Va.) was one point and one rebound away from her third double-double of the season, notching nine points and boards on the day.
Kalen Collins (Wise, Va.) and Kelly Jackson both had multiple three-point makes to open their game up. Jackson went 2-for-3 from behind the arc while Collins hit all three of her three point attempts on the day to triple her total coming into the game. Collins and Jackson both finished with nine points.
Three Bobcats finished in double figures, led by Bobcat guard Icey Patterson's 19 points. Kerri Belcher and DeAnna Waters each had 16 points. Waters notched a double-double with 16 and 11 rebounds.
The Lady Tornado will conclude their road schedule at Pfeiffer University with a 5:30 p.m. tipoff time in Misenheimer, North Carolina. King will follow with its final home game on Feb. 24 against Erskine College on Senior Night.

|Port Your Stock Turbo
Denis Kefallinos firstname.lastname@example.com
|Looking to extend the performance of your stock GN/TR/TTA turbo? Then porting may be the solution! Porting can be accomplised very easily since the turbo can be readily removed, worked on and reinstalled. The procedure outlined below can be accomplished in a day with dedicated effort - daily drivers need not despair!
|You Will Need
|Emery cloth (coarse, medium and fine grit)
and you must have either one of these:
and it would be real cool if you had access to one of these, like I did:
Since the turbo will need to be entirely disassembled, please refer to the discussion by Chris Fasulo on turbo rebuilding for disassembly and reassembly procedures. We will assume the the turbo charger is disassembled into 4 main components: compressor housing, center housing rotating assembly, turbine housing, and elbow. No work is to be performed on the chra so put that in a safe place for now.
Some of the grinding being performed here is on aluminum. Aluminum is rather soft, and tends to gum up grinding stones in a hurry rendering them useless. If using carbide bits, you can lessen this effect by using "Grinder's Grease" or candle wax on the bit cutting surfaces.
Its preferable to use either a coarse sanding wheel or flap wheel, or a carbide or high-speed steel cutter when grinding aluminum. Steel and cast iron respond well to grinding, as well as sandpaper.
|Compressor Inlet Bell and Outlet
|Turbine Housing
|If you've never seen the inside of the turbine housing and elbow before, you will note that the surface is about as rough as 50 grit sandpaper! This causes frictional loss which in turn robs power. STAY AWAY from the large diameter hole where the turbine blades exhaust to the elbow.
|Wastegate Elbow
You are done! Clean, degrease and dry thoroughly all parts one last time, blow them out if you have an air gun, and reassemble per instructions. Happy cruising! If you have any questions, give me a call.

Lion tamer: Received word over the weekend that the Lions Lair, a Denver institution if there ever was one, is looking for a new talent buyer for the storied dive to book local and national acts. Interested? Think you have great sensibilities in terms of what bands would make sense at the Lair? Send a resume to Tony Meggitt at 2022 E. Colfax Denver Co. 80206 or reach out via e-mail.
Pleased to Meese me: Finally, as mentioned yesterday in the item about Meese separating from Atlantic Records, that outfit along with fellow locals Kill Paradise, whose latest, The Second Effect, is out on BreakSilence Recordings, received a nod on Alternative Press magazine's 100 Bands You Need to Know list. Good to see some locals getting love. Last year, as you may recall, 3OH!3 made the list.

Last chance to buy local bulls Saturday
April 4, 2006
A late-season cattle sale Saturday will be the last opportunity for residents to purchase cattle locally.
At the Northwest Colorado Bull Sale, 66 bulls and 20 heifers will go to the highest bidders at the fourth annual cattle auction to be held at the Routt County Fairgrounds. A Scottish Highland bull also will be sold on a one-year lease.
The auction provides an opportunity for breeders to sell bulls locally. It also is a good opportunity and provides some value for local cattle producers because they do not have to travel as far with their purchases, said Marsha Daughenbaugh of the Community Agriculture Alliance.
The Community Agriculture Alliance, the Colorado State University Extension Service and Routt County CattleWomen will host the auction.
Daughenbaugh said all the cattle to be sold at the auction are testing well for fertility and that she expects the auction to be a success.
The auction was organized to support Yampa Valley cattle producers. Last year, 41 bulls were sold for an average of $2,087. Two pens of five heifers were sold for an average of $4,250.
Recommended Stories For You
Cattle auctions are a rarity in Northwest Colorado, and this auction will mark the last auction of the season.
In addition to the auction, there will be two speakers who will talk about issues affecting cattle producers.
"You have all these people that are connected with the industry in one way or another, and they want good-quality heifers, and it gives them a chance to network with people who are also connected with it," Daughenbaugh said.
John Heller of the Colorado Department of Agriculture will talk about future United States Department of Agriculture regulations. Heller is the coordinator for the Animal Identification Program. Soon, identification tags may be required on all livestock to help protect the U.S. food supply, Daughenbaugh said.
"It's another effort by cattle producers to produce high-quality products for the consumers in the U.S.," Daughenbaugh said.
Rick Furrow of Three State Feeders will talk about what characteristics feed lot owners look for when they purchase cattle.
Cattle viewing begins at 9 a.m. Saturday. The speakers will talk for about an hour at 10:30 a.m., and lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The auction will begin at 1 p.m.

Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth Will Make The Perfect Husband And Wife
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth may be young but they are amazing together! I'm so happy they are getting married!
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's surprise engagement has everybody talking — and a lot of people think they are too young and rushing into marriage. I, however, think it is a wonderful idea.
Liam, 22, and Miley, 19 might be young but they have been together for three years and have a very adult relationship. Even though Miley is still a teenager, her life experiences have allowed her to mature much quicker than your average 19-year-old. She's managed to handle a music career, an acting career, public scrutiny and a long-distance relationship with another actor, whose fame is growing by the day. I think she can definitely handle a marriage to someone who loves her for who she is, like Liam does!
Although at times their relationship was rocky, Liam and Miley seem stronger than ever now. Liam comes to her defense whenever anybody criticizes Miley and he really does seem very passionate about her. He even went through the trouble of getting her a special, very romantic engagement ring!
I think this is a Hollywood couple that's in it for the long haul, and raise a glass of champagne to toast Miss Hannah Montana. Although, she should wait two years to drink it!

New Jersey workers' compensation law
New Jersey workers compensation law is complex. An injured employee can be confused and stressed by the process. Insurance companies and employers will take advantage of an injured worker by denying a legitimate claim for medical benefits, undervaluing a claim for income benefits, pressuring the worker to return to work prematurely (including light duty work) or to accept a low cash settlement for a permanent disability, discouraging a worker from seeing a new doctor, or refusing to accept responsibility for a repetitive stress injury. As attorneys it is our job to sort out the details and see that our clients recover the benefits they deserve.

1. The Royal Statistical Society warmly
welcomes the Treasury Sub-Committee's Inquiry into the 2001 Census
in England and Wales. However, it is too early to be able to provide
informed comment on all but the preparatory work and consultation.
Therefore, the Society has decided that part of its evidence should
be aimed at providing the Sub-Committee with relevant questions
to ask a variety of parties, as the analysis of the returns proceeds
and the results become more clear.
2. The Census Offices conducted extensive
consultation over an extended time period with all interest groups.
The Royal Statistical Society was very pleased to be involved.
The Census Offices went to great pains to try to meet user requirements.
This extended not only to the content and wording of the questions,
but also to the methodology. They should be congratulated for
3. By working with the research community
and introducing the One Number Census, the ONS has taken a lead
in methodological issues. It should be congratulated for this.
4. The Census Access Project and the decision
to publish most outputs on the web will make the Census much more
accessible than ever before. This accessibility is hugely beneficial
and represents good value for money.
5. The Royal Statistical Society urges the
Treasury Sub-Committee, if it has not already done so, to call
for evidence in the near future from the company which is doing
the bulk of work of scanning the UK Census formsLockheed
Martin Mission Systemsso that it might learn how well that
process is going.
6. The Royal Statistical Society hopes that,
in the coming months, the Treasury Sub-Committee seeks answers
to the following questions:
7. The machinery of census-taking has, in
the past, been through a cycle of winding down and then gearing
up again as the next census nears. Instead there should be a continuous
programme of review, discussion and improvement. The Royal Statistical
Society looks forward to being able to help in such a continuous
programme by providing expertise and a forum for discussion.

Buying the Best Ice Hockey Skates
Did your child make the team? Well, that means one thing; they are super excited to skate on ice while you are freaking out about their safety. Even though the market is full of ice hockey skates, it's hard to determine which skates are the best.
Even though this confusion looms, one thing remains clear; you have to give your child your support. This also applies if your spouse is joining the national hockey team. Your blessings and the best gear is all they require.
So, where do you buy the best ice hockey skates from? How sure are you that you can trust the sports store down the street or an online store like Amazon?

Ice hockey skates come in different sizes, styles, and widths. Regarding sizes, manufacturers do not use normal shoe sizing. The sizing for ice hockey skates is about a size and a half smaller.
Why should a beginner, intermediate, or a pro ice hockey player get the right skates?
- The right skates will protect your foot and ankle from injury and pain when playing. This is because a wrong feature or the lack of one protective feature exposes your foot to danger. The right/ best skates have excellent designs to protect your foot and ankle from any form of injury.

- The right skates will also help you learn the ropes of the game in no time. Learning the skills and the tricks needed to make you the best player lies in the skates. The wrong skates will impact your game significantly, but the right ones will let you graduate from learner to a pro within a short time.

How to choose the best ice hockey skates
Construction of the ice hockey skates
The hockey skates have three parts – the boot, the runner, and the holder. The boot is where you put your feet, the holder connects the runner to the boot, and the runner is the steel blade at the bottom.
Runners and holders
It is preferable to buy hockey skates with separate holders and runners. These are easily replaceable – you can replace the steel blades without having to replace the whole skate. Usually, frequent use wears off the steel blades, and these blades will call for frequent sharpening. Therefore, separate ones are the best. Sadly, the low-end skates have the runners and the holders as one.
Runners are easily replaceable though.
The boots
These are important parts of skates. Brands look for ways of making the boot lighter and more maneuverable. Some of the materials that make for these features include texalium glass, carbon composite, thermo-formable foam, and anti-microbial hydrophobic linings. These materials make for the overall weight of the boots, protection, comfort, and durability.
As you check out the boot, take a look at the following critical parts:
- The liner: this is the material/ padding inside the boot. It provides a comfortable fit.
- The heel support: this will cup around your heel protecting and securing your foot in the boot.
- Ankle padding: it is above the liner in the boot. It is made of foam and offers support for your ankles.
- Footbed: it's the padding on the inside of the boot, at the bottom part.
- Tongue: this covers the top of your boot.
- Quarter package: this is the boot shell. It is the part that holds all the padding and the support inside the boot. It should be flexible and able to offer support.
- Outsole: this is the hard underside of the skates. The holder attaches to the outsole.
Get the right size
First, identify your foot type – are your feet wide, long, narrow, or extra wide?
- C/N – Narrow fit
- D/R – Regular fit
- E/W – Wide fit
- EE – Extra Wide Fit
The size of the ice hockey skates is the most important feature to look at. Otherwise, you won't be able to play. Hockey skates are usually 1-2 sizes lower than your shoe size. However, this varies with manufacturers.
As you look for the right size of skates, you should also look at the fitting. The fitting depends on the skate size, the depth/arch, the width of the skates, your skating ability, style, your playing level, and your weight. You should also take a look at the instep, the heel fit, the midfoot fit, and the toe box fit.
Clearly, these are a lot of elements to keep in mind when fitting the skates. So, we'll simplify the process. To test, use the following techniques:
- Pencil test
Put on your skates but don't tie them then pull the tongue out. Take a pen or a pencil and place it across the eyelets, about three eyelets down. If the pen lies flat without rocking back and forth, the skates have the right depth. On the other hand, the skates are too shallow if the pen hits your foot without touching both eyelets.
- Finger test
This test ensures that you have the right size of skates and that the skates have the right ankle fit. Lace the skates tightly then lean forward and bend your knees. Reach back to the back of the skates – if you can slide more than two fingers between your heel and the skates, the heel and the skate's fit isn't suitable for you. One finger gap is okay for kids. Note that if the skates are too loose you will deal with blisters and foot pain and these will impair your ability to skate.
Position your toes touch your skates
The toe brush test
Do your toes lie on the skates? Stand up straight in your laced skates. In this position, your toes should only brush the toe cap inside the skates. In the athletic stance (leaning forward), your heel should lock in place more, and your toes shouldn't rub the toe cap.
This is another feature to look up for when fitting skates. Some skates have loose, and others have stiff fits. Skates with more rigid fit are suitable for experienced and heavier players. The stiff skates provide more ankle support and enhance energy transfer. Unfortunately, stiffness affects mobility. As a new player, opt for less stiff skates. You'll break into these skates faster.
To determine the stiffness of the skates, give then a squeeze then hold the skate below the tendon guard and squeeze the sides. If they fold, they are too weak for hockey. Get the ones with good resistance.
For skates to fit your feet better, they require baking. As long as you get high-end skates, you can bake then because their design is suitable for heat molding for perfect fitting. If it's your first time, get a professional to bake them.
Baking involves heating the skates in a special oven then you wear them and gently lace the skates and wear them for about 10 minutes when seated. The skates will cool and take the form of your feet. This way, your feet get accustomed to the skates, and you feel comfortable every time you wear them.
Pain and discomfort after wearing the ice hockey skates
The first time you wear the skates, even after baking, you can expect a level of discomfort. You may get a blister or feel some pain. Once you break into the skates fully, the pain should disappear. If the pain persists, then the fit is wrong. You may have to get customized insoles especially when you have extra wide ankles.
How much should you spend on ice hockey skates? This depends on your age but, as an adult, you should get skates going for at least $150. Anything going for less than this isn't advisable. Well, unless you get good ones on offer. Expensive skates are often the best. If buying from a local store, the high-end skates that have been in the store for over a year will fetch a good price. Note that your personal style will also affect the price of the skates.
- Cheap skates, less than $100 are ideal for casual use.
- Average priced skates $150-$400 are perfect for recreational players
- High-end skates going for $400-$800 are ideal for professional and competitive players.
- For kids, don't go for the most expensive skates because they will outgrow them in no time.
Replacement of the skate blades
How often will the skate blades require replacement?
A pro's skate blades require frequent replacement of the steel. However, if you play a few times a week, the blades may only require replacement every few years. Be careful not to wear skates whose steel blades have been sharpened too many times and are getting down to the plastic. These are dangerous.
Playing style
Are you or your child an aggressive player or a reserves player? Playing style affects the fit and the skates' style.
Buying the right ice hockey skates, though challenging, is easy when you have all the right features to consider in mind (or in an online source). Once you determine your playing style, the shape and size of your foot, playing level, or the fit, and the construction of the skates, you'll be ready to hit the rink.
The best ice hockey skates enhance your performance, protect your feet and also last long. Getting such skates will elevate your game and make you even better at it. You will also have a lower risk of breaking your ankle when you have the best skates.
Having considered all these qualities and features of the best ice hockey skates, we choose the Bauer Vapor X500 Junior Ice Hockey Skates, 1.5 D. These are excellent junior ice hockey skates ideal for intermediate players. They have a lightweight anaform fit foam ankle padding for support, protection, and comfort.
They also come with the Tuuk Lightspeed Edge holder and a Tuuk Super Stainless Steel runner. They are also thermos-formable. These features make them ideal for hockey. The features also make these skates durable and comfortable. The high-grade aluminum construction reduces the weight of the skates making them ideal for speed and strength.

Reborn baby dolls can be made for twins. As of September 2015, the price for custom reborn babies ranges from $175 to $1,000, with reborn twins being priced between $1,000 to $1,500.Continue Reading
Reborn dolls are dolls that are made to look like real-life babies. Creating a reborn doll takes days and patience. Dolls are painted by artists, known as reborners, to give them the proper skin tone. It takes many layers of paint to give the doll the look of baby skin. Veins are painted to appear under the skin's surface. Hair and eyelashes are micro-rooted under the surface of the doll's skin a few hairs at a time. The fingernails and toenails of the dolls are manicured and varnished. The dolls are weighted to resemble the weight of a real baby. Because they are largely hand-made, each reborn doll is unique.Learn more about Babies & Toddlers

Alpha Lipoic Acid and CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) are often considered to be meta vitamins. They are life critical, vitamin-like nutrients. Alpha Lipoic Acid and CoQ10 are both produced in the body and can be found in small amounts in the diet. Neither dietary sources of these meta vitamins nor the amounts synthesized in the body, are of sufficient quantity to provide the optimal benefits of these nutrients that research has uncovered.
Additional Benefits of AlphaQ10
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
ALA provides a key step in the bodys energy production process. Energy is produced by the body in an eight step process called the Krebs Cycle. ALA is the co-enzyme that activates the conversion of glucose into energy. Glucose is a major energy source. ALA is an essential component of optimal energy production. Energy is the rate limiting resource for all metabolism, healing and, therefore, quality of life.
ALA is also one of the most powerful anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory nutrients. It is known as the universal antioxidant because it is both fat-soluble and water-soluble. It works both in the fatty cell plasma membrane and the aqueous interior of the cell to protect the body against free radicals. Free radicals, also called pro-oxidants, are known to be a major contributing factor to our aging. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are also both known for their excellent antioxidant qualities. ALA has been measured to be 100 times stronger at protecting us from free radicals than Vitamin E and Vitamin C combined!
ALA plays an important role in liver health. The liver uses about 15% of the bodys total energy supply. One can easily see how sufficient ALA supplementation will contribute to a healthy liver. ALA regenerates a key antioxidant called glutathione. Glutathione also plays an essential role for liver detoxification. Without ALA, there would be insufficient glutathione for the liver to detoxify the numerous man-made chemicals we come in contact with everyday. Studies have shown ALAsupports the bodys efforts against liver diseases including mushroom toxicity reactions, alcohol-related liver damage, and metal toxicity.
ALA plays an important role in preventing and treating diabetes. ALA can improve insulin sensitivity in patients with type-2 diabetes. ALAtreatment effectively reversed body weight, blood glucose, plasma insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides and lipid peroxidation levels of diabetic animals. ALA has a beneficial effect on diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. There are many other benefits to ALA supplementation including its protection against inflammation and its application for cognitive enhancement.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoQ10 may help increase energy levels, lower high blood pressure, detoxify your body, reduce free radicals dramatically and aid the function of all living cells. CoQ10 is a valuable, naturally occurring antioxidant necessary for energy production in every cell of the body. CoQ10 is a component of every living cell. As body levels of CoQ10 drop, so does the general status of health. Low levels can result in high blood pressure, heart attack, angina, immune disorders, depression, periodontal disease, a lack of energy, and obesity. University studies have shown that some overweight people have low levels of it and supplementation can help to control body weight. As more energy is required, the more CoQ10 is needed in the diet, especially in the heart and other tissues that require lots of energy.
CoQ10 is an integral part of the immune cycle. When levels of CoQ10 are increased, the immune system receives more help from antibiotic and anti-viral drugs. However, antibiotics do not help to rebuild the immune system. On the other hand, CoQ10 can naturally stimulate the immune system and result in a wider range of beneficial and protective effects. The vitamin-like substance is found primarily in the heart. Like all muscles, the heart needs adequate energy to contract, and CoQ10 facilitates the production of that energy. In people with coronary heart disease, supplementation reduces the frequency of angina episodes and increases the amount of physical exercise that a person can perform before developing angina pain. Tissues that need the largest amounts of CoQ10, like the heart, are those that require the most energy. Our internal ability to produce CoQ10 declines with age, and as we get older we must rely more on CoQ10 from our diets. If you want to help slow the aging process, relieve an array of diseases and symptoms, increase endurance and stave off disease as you age, CoQ10 is a crucial supplement.
Olympian Labs Alpha Q10 Formula
OL has combined these two meta vitamins into a 100mg therapeutic dose of each. ALA and CoQ10 taken together magnify the effectiveness of each other. ALA creates enzymes that fuel CoQ10 during energy production. CoQ10 recycles enzymes for ALA. Both nutrients are fueling each other to supply the perpetual energy needed for all healing and metabolism!
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) to two (2) capsules daily with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.
