Welcome to The New Good ©™
Let us begin by setting a base for what we're about to build…
Good and Evil, as commonly percieved, is just that- an individual matter of perspective.
You can do extensive research on the subject to form your own opinion, such as with Nietzsche or Descarte but to proceed here you'll have to come to terms with that as a fact first. I do not want to dedicate too much text to that here other than to say that it should be an obvious matter to you in order to proceed.
What you see in the world around you, and how you see it- is as much your right to regard as reality- as is what another person sees and how they see it. There are commonalities in society, we all go on green and stop on red when driving for example- but when it comes to yellow- some of us speed up, others slow down, and still others assess the situation light by light. The perspective you have of the world around you dictates your particular reality- period.
If you are not convinced of that- it's understandable- and now, like throughout these pages at various points, I will ask you to return when you are ready for a change in your life. Because if you're here, you've likely been living according to a set reality already- and what we are going to do is give you another way of looking at things. One which you'll have to adhere to as faithfully as the one you've been following thus far- until you can see the benefits and build faith in it. You have to be in touch with the fact that your perspective is your reality- and you're about to adopt a new perspective, if only for a trial period, but with dedication for that time.
To proceed with scepticism is to defeat the purpose and to waste everyone's time. I say this as much for your time as mine, and to protect the time and work being done by others adopting The New Good. This is not a site for debate on the subject of reality or perspective. It is not a forum for discussion on whether this formula or philosphy is right or wrong, good or evil in itself. Once here, your mind on these matters should be Open. This is a forum for change. Change for your betterment.
If you are here, you desire that change. All that's asked of you is a commitment to self- and to that effort for change. Don't worry, this isn't a cult. This isn't a religion. The New Good replaces nothing but the point of view that hasn't been working for you so far. It's a philosphy for life. It's an undercurrent to whatever you have going. You will lose nothing but what is useless to you, and gain everything you've ever wanted.
That being said, we can breifly examine your probable concept of what "good" is at this time.
An examination of self;
You've likely been taught by your parents, friends, society and life in general what good and bad is. You've tried to be good under those precepts, but are unsatisfied by the results or confused by the outcome.
You feel you know what is moral and right. You see others act in a way you would consider immoral or wrong, irresponsible or careless, and you consider yourself better than that- but again, you can't explain why under these circumstances it seems others who value certain things less than you, perhaps respect the world around them alot less than you do, and they garner more from you, life, and the world around them- than you do.
I'm here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you, there is nothing you are doing wrong, and as a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with anyone else in this world.
All that IS wrong, is your basis for assessing what is right and wrong. Your foundation is off kilter. You are likely an honorable and moral person and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, these are morals you should hold on to. In the New Good, you may just learn a means to applying those personal scruples appropriately.
It may be that your base is rooted too deeply in a responsibility to others. Or, as in the passage below, it is rooted in a common theme, religion. Take a moment to read its cryptic message…
"For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil"(Heb.5:12-14).
Summarizing that Hebrew text- good and evil should discernable by that man which is well versed in god's teachings… bottom line, read the bible and do what it tells you to do- and you will know good from bad or evil.
I'm sure you will find many similar passages in religious text throughout the so-called civilized world. I will not be taking on Religion on these pages. I have no qualm with Religion. It helps whom it helps. You need not abandon your religion to take on the New Good and the NG does not threaten your belief system in any way.
In relation to the quote, what I am proposing, rather, exposing, is that without being well "versed", "taught" or otherwise indoctrinated, or brain washed as some may put it- to any god-based or social theology or idealism, man in his raw form, an animal of the Earth though complex in his needs and mannerisms, is essentially no more than any other animal… and what is an animal if not a Survivalist.
Being such, the perspective of good and evil then falls to the need of the moment. An animal survives on a minimum of complex thought- and a majority of instinct. What an animal needs, an animal goes after and gets. If they cannot get it, they waste no time, attach no meaning to the experience, and proceed to the next task at hand. Self satisfaction as a result of self reliance.
You have to realize, an animal doesn't think about right and wrong. They are hungry, they hunt or forage for food. They are cold, they seek shelter. They are threatened, they defend or they attack. You, on the other hand, have been taught to think about things, and perhaps a little too much. To attain that which pleases, comforts or provides a means of survival- is good. To ignore those needs, to give up the opportunity to attain those basic needs for survival and comfort- is bad, and if adhering to your own existence- to go against yourself can be percieved as Evil.
Now if those are the conceivable tenants for an animal's survival- why are they not your own?
Follow so far?
What's good, is what's good for you, right now. What You need. What You want. Now.
There is no "will I get into heaven or will I go to hell". There is no "what will they think". In the end, if there is food on your plate- if your children are fed and safe- what else matters? Really?
For those who are religious and adhere to a god-based belief system- how do you think the neglect of your own well being will be percieved in your concept of the after life?
Your life is a precious gift. Your well being and the well being of those you care about- is tantamount. You have to decide right here and right now whether you will be able to adhere to this overlay to your way of being. This, the NG is about what's most important in life and it WILL teach you how to get ahead inthe world where you haven't been able to before.
Being a child of society one can never expect to be fully free of supposed morality and its imposition of rules and regulations be they legal or religious. But with adherence to one's self and one's own interest- alone, one can come close to being free and successful in respect to the observance of the New Good ©®.
Now keep in mind, the New Good, is only new, because its the Good for YOU.
Building that New Self, with The New Good © ®
The Good we were examining above, the Good you've been adhering to thus far… that was someone else's Good- not yours. That good was set upon you by adolescent learning, by guilt, by rejection and probable pain and fear. Religion makes this error at times. Parents make this error. And well, life can be quite unfair too all on its own- but we'll take care of that too.
Prepare yourself- Others may not consider YOUR good to be in accordance with their good, or the good as dictated by laws and religious rule. The challenge is in the every day implementation of what is good for YOU. Shedding as much as possible, that which has held us back, kept us apart, left us open, to being hurt, used, and taken advantage of by others… Which is simply an overly developed sense of consideration for others, and an overly hightened concern for what others need, think or want from us.
The New Good is not about social or moral responsibility to anyone else other than the most important person on earth and in your life- YOU.
The One person, who if damaged or destroyed, ends your existance.
Now that you've completed the introduction, and you either feel this is something you're not ready for- or you find it interesting- you can take a look at the actual Rules for the NG as we like to call it.
Take a look around now, while its still in development and free of charge.
E mail me with any suggestions comments or experiences. I am totally open to all communications.
Thanks for reading my friends and future fellow New Gooders

Daily use of talcum powder raises cancer risk in womenSeptember 28th, 2008 - 12:31 pm ICT by ANI
London, Sept 28 (ANI): It might come handy while freshening faces, but according to a new shocking research, women who use talcum powder every day are 40 per cent more likely to develop ovarian cancer.
According to researchers, powder particles applied to the private parts may travel to the ovaries and trigger a process of inflammation that allows cancer cells to flourish.
To reach the conclusion, experts from Harvard Medical School in Boston studied more than 3,000 women, reports the Daily Mail.
They discovered using talc just once a week raised the risk of cancer by 36 per cent, rising to 41 per cent for those applying powder every day.
The study also revealed that the risks were greater still for those with a certain genetic profile.
Talc is made from a soft mineral called hydrous magnesium silicate, which is found throughout the world.
It is crushed, dried and milled to produce powder used in cosmetic products by millions. Some experts say it has chemical similarities to asbestos, which can cause a deadly form of lung cancer.
The study has been published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.
And the research applies only to talcum powder used around the private parts, not on the rest of the body, said the team.
Dr Maggie Gates, who led the study, said that until the outcome of further research women should avoid using talc in the genital area. (ANI)

Document Details
Published Document
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") [1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on March 25, 2010, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (the "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend Chapter V, Section 18 (The Price Improvement Period ("PIP")) of the Rules of the Boston Options Exchange Group, LLC ("BOX"). The text of the proposed rule change is available from the principal office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public Reference Room and also on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://nasdaqomxbx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXBX/Filings/.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The PIP currently allows Initiating Participants [3] to enter two-sided orders for execution with the possibility of receiving a price that improves upon the National Best Bid or Offer ("NBBO") ("price improvement"). The customer side of these orders ("PIP Order") is exposed [4] to Options Participants to give them an opportunity to compete for allocations in the PIP by entering orders ("Improvement Orders") at the proposed cross price or better. This provides an opportunity for the PIP Order to receive price improvement. PIP Orders are submitted to BOX with a matching guaranteed contra order ("Primary Improvement Order"), equal to the full size of the PIP Order. The Primary Improvement Order currently must represent a single price ("Single-Priced Primary Improvement Order") [5] that is equal to or better than that of the NBBO at the time of the commencement of the PIP.
The purpose of this proposed rule change is to add an auto-match functionality within the PIP for the Initiating Participant to submit a Primary Improvement Order that will automatically match both the price and size of all competing quotes and orders at any price level achieved during the PIP auction or only up to a designated limit price ("Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order"). Either the Single-Priced Primary Improvement Order or the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order will designate the PIP auction start price ("PIP Start Price"), which shall be equal to or better than the NBBO at the time of commencement of the PIP. With a Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order the Initiating Participant does not respond at all, but instead must honor the prices set forth by the competing orders, including booked unrelated orders, received from other Options Participants. After the commencement of a PIP, the Initiating Participant would not be able to cancel or modify the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order. In this case, the Initiating Participant would not have control over the prices at which it receives an allocation at the conclusion of the PIP auction.
Under the proposal, at the conclusion of the PIP, the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order shall be allocated its full size at each price level where there are competing quotes or orders, except where restricted by any designated max improvement limit price, until a price level is reached where the balance of the PIP Order can be fully executed. Only at such price level will the Initiating Participant retain priority for the greater of one contract or 40% of the remaining size of the PIP Order.
The following example illustrates how the proposed PIP auto-match functionality will operate for the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order:
At the commencement of the PIP the NBBO is 2.00 (bid)—2.10 (offer). The Initiating Participant submits to the PIP a customer order to sell 155 contracts at $2.01 (``the PIP Order") while simultaneously submitting a guaranteed contra Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order with a PIP Start Price of $2.01 (bid) and a designated max improvement limit price of $2.04 (bid). During the PIP auction the following competing orders were received from Options Participants: PIP Participant A: $2.05 (bid) for 5 contracts (a booked unrelated order); PIP Participant B: $2.03 (bid) for 15 contracts; PIP Participant C: $2.02 (bid) for 10 contracts; and PIP Participant D: $2.01 (bid) for 155 contracts.
The following allocations shall occur at the conclusion of the PIP auction:
- Participant A is allocated 5 contracts at $2.05.
○ Remaining size of PIP Order is 150.
○ Note that Initiating Participant is not allocated any quantity at this price level because it exceeds the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order designated limit price of $2.04.
- Initiating Participant and Participant B are each allocated 15 contracts at $2.03.Start Printed Page 17455
○ Remaining size of PIP Order is 120.
- Initiating Participant and Participant C are each allocated 10 contracts at $2.02.
○ Remaining size of PIP Order is 100.
- Initiating Participant is allocated 40 contracts at $2.01 (40% of the remaining quantity of 100 contracts) and Participant D is allocated 60 contracts (balance of the remaining quantity of the PIP Order after the Initiating Participant's allocation at this price level).
BOX's PIP allows for broad participation in its competitive auction by all types of market participants (e.g. Public Customers, Broker Dealers and Market Makers).[6] All Options Participants are able to receive the PIP Broadcasts and may respond by submitting competing Improvement Orders. All PIP Orders entered into the PIP will continue to be broadly exposed in the auction before the Initiating Participant can execute against the PIP Order via the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order.
BOX notes that when the Initiating Participant selects the Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order prior to the start of the auction, the available liquidity at improved prices would be automatically doubled and competitive final pricing would be out of the Initiating Participant's control. The Exchange believes that the proposal, if approved, will increase competition in the PIP auction, will provide more options contracts with price improvement and incent Options Participants to initiate more such Max Improvement PIP auctions. Increases in the number of PIP auctions initiated by BOX Options Participants will directly correlate with an increase in the number of customer orders that are provided with the opportunity to receive price improvement over the NBBO.
The Exchange also notes that a similar auto-match function is currently in place on at least one other options exchange.[7]
The Exchange represents that BOX shall provide the Commission with the following data: The percentage of all BOX trades effected through the PIP in which the Initiating Participant has submitted a Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order with a limit price and the percentage without a limit price, and the average amount of price improvement provided to the PIP Order when the Initiating Participant has submitted a Max Improvement Primary Improvement Order with a limit price and the average without a limit price, versus the average amount of price improvement provided to the PIP Order when the Initiating Participant has chosen a Single-Priced Primary Improvement Order.
After effectiveness of the proposal, and at least one week prior to implementation of the rule change, BOXR will issue a regulatory circular to Options Participants. The regulatory circular will inform Options Participants of the implementation date of the Max Improvement function. This will give Options Participants an opportunity to make any necessary modifications to coincide with the implementation date.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,[8] in general, and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,[9] in particular, in that it is designed to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism for a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In particular, the Exchange believes that the proposal, if approved, will result in double the liquidity available at improved prices with competitive final pricing out of the Initiating Participant's control, thus increasing competition in the PIP auction and providing more options contracts with price improvement. As a result of the increased opportunity for price improvement, the Exchange believes that Options Participants will be incented to initiate more such Max Improvement PIP auctions. Increases in the number of PIP auctions initiated by BOX Options Participants will directly correlate with an increase in the number of customer orders that are provided with the opportunity to receive price improvement over the NBBO.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited nor received comments on the proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [10] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[11]
A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act [12] normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [13] permits the Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay because the changes to the PIP auction will allow immediate increases in the liquidity available at improved prices. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest and designates the proposal operative upon filing.[14]
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.Start Printed Page 17456
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:
Electronic Comments

Golfers' Low Back Pain – The Core Issue
Biomechanics-the study of motion in living organisms-is the topic of this lesson. Biomechanics is a very broad field. Thousands of people are researching how the human body moves, and why it moves the way it does. At Body Balance for Performance we have taken on this study relative to the motions of the golf swing. Let's take a look at the biomechanics of the lower back, pelvis, and hips. To do this we need to apply here what we learned earlier about low back anatomy.
The vertebrae of the lumbar spine are uniquely shaped and oriented. These vertebrae are stout compared to the cervical and thoracic vertebrae. This stoutness is consistent with the large forces they must withstand. The facet joints are vertically oriented in this part of the spine. To understand this orientation, position your hands with the palms facing one another, the fingers pointing upward, and your thumbs slightly closer together than the little fingers. In thinking about this orientation, you might envision that the facet joints would allow forward, backward, and side bending but also that they might inhibit rotation. That is exactly the case. The biomechanical studies of motion in the lumbar spine indicate that there is only about one to two degrees of rotation between any two lumbar vertebrae, but that side bending is three to four degrees. Flexion and extension are the most extensive motions in the lumbar spine. This is not coincidence. The facet joint anatomy causes these motion limitations. From this data that supports these statements we can conclude that there is little rotation in the lumbar spine in any activity, including the golf swing. So where does the necessary rotation happen…in the hips and thoracic spine…we will take that up later.
Looking at the pelvis, we see three major joints. There are two sacroiliac (SI) joints and a pubic symphysis. The SI joints are in the buttocks. If you put your fingers on your belt line in your lower back about 4 inches apart and then slide the down to the upper buttocks you will feel two bumps (one on each side). These are the approximate location of the SI joints. There is great controversy in the medical community about the biomechanics of these joints. One school of thought that claims that these joints do not move because of their shape, the orientation of the joint surfaces, and the ligament structure. Another school of thought points out that there is about 3 to 4 degrees of forward and backward rotation in these joints. The SI joints are oriented similarly to the lumbar facet joints. The upper half of the joint surface is similar in structure to any synovial joint, such as the knee or shoulder joints. This structure is consistent with movement. The lower half of the joint is similar in structure to the sutures of the skull and are consistent with no movement. Which camp is correct? This clinician has witnessed motion in these joints. This does not make the motion camp correct; it is just what I have observed.
Based on these observations, I believe there is a limited amount of motion in the SI joints. If you once again hold your hands like we did for the lumbar spine demonstration, you will be able to simulate the motion of the SI joint and the pelvis. If you rock your hands toward the little fingers and then back to the thumbs you generally have the motion of the SI joints and the pelvis. If the little finger represents the front of the body, then movement toward that side of the hand would be called anterior torsion or rotation, and the opposite motion would be called posterior torsion or rotation. In golf these motions are important because if one side of the pelvis is positioned in forward torsion and the other is not, we see significant muscle imbalances that prevent correct movement in the swing. We also see this positional problem at the root of a large percentage of the back pain felt by golfers. In this position the hip flexors and low back muscles are shortened, the hip extensors and abdominals are lengthened and weakened. We can even see inhibition of the glutes…and this is a recipe for disaster. When this happens, it's not a matter of "If you will have back pain." it's "When."
There are some who also believe that this pelvic imbalance is responsible for improper loading on the lumbar discs and the hip joints, and this may be at the root of much of the herniations, degeneration, and arthritis seen in these areas.
Golfer, this is important to you. If you have an imbalance in the pelvis, you will develop degenerative conditions, and you will see motions like reverse spine angles, lateral sways, straightening of the backswing side knee, loss of spine angle, and most disastrous, recurrent lower back pain episodes. Our experience has told us that if we resolve these imbalances, most back pain can be resolved or prevented. Finally, improving pelvic balance will improve the efficiency of your golf motion.
The anatomy of the lumbar spine and pelvis helps us understand how the region should move, and gives us a road map to restore normal motion; that is, normal biomechanics of the area. Once we have an assessment of the biomechanical situation in the region, we can design and implement an exercise or training program to restore normal biomechanics and therefore normal motion. This is how we eliminate lower back and mechanical pelvic pain and improve the results of the golf swing. Biomechanics are a key, maybe the key, to understanding and fixing the lower back and pelvis.
Please email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Here's to your healthy back and good golf.

Choosing Wisely® (www.choosingwisely.org) is an increasingly growing campaign promoted by the world's prominent cardiovascular societies that aims to promote "the right care for the right patient provided by the right expert at the right time in the right place". It would make sense then if you have a possible heart problem to expect to see a heart specialist (Cardiologist) to help identify and manage/treat your heart disease right from the start.
At TotalCardiology we match your heart problem with the most appropriate solution.
Cardiology is a complex field. We cardiologists must first complete medical school and postgraduate training and attain Board Certification in Internal Medicine. Then, for an additional three to five years, we study conditions specific to the heart, blood vessels and blood circulation. This extensive additional training makes us "experts" in the field best suited and most qualified to properly diagnose and treat diseases of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system) and some lung conditions. related to the heart. Cardiologists also receive extensive additional training in cardiac diagnostic testing/imaging which in combination with their expert clinical knowledge enables them to provide most clinically relevant rapid interpretation of your test and thus look after your heart disease. Cardiologists can choose the right specialized test for you (sometimes that means no tests at all) and because of the extra training in performing and expertly interpreting such tests they can help offer a very high quality management of your heart in disease and in health.
While heart disease can be difficult to recognize, equally important is the fact that associating a symptom inappropriately to heart disease (i.e. overdiagnosing) will no doubt be unacceptable to you. Harm may come by exposure to inappropriately selected or unnecessary test(s). The emotional stress associated with delays in sorting out your symptoms is also not acceptable. Going directly to a Cardiologist as a first choice will minimize the risks to you by mitigating unnecessary delays in receiving the most appropriate cardiac care by the right expert at the right time.
The Cardiologists at TotalCardiology have been collaborating with and supporting your Family Doctors for many years. This community relationship is now even stronger with our innovative RACCTM cardiology clinic which utilizes a unique approach to deal with your potential heart disease in a very comprehensive way whether you are referred by emergency room doctors or your own family doctor. This type of close collaboration is complemented by TotalCardiology's ability to use its team approach to teach you about your risk factors to lead a healthier lifestyle and maintain an optimal state of heart health. TotalCardiology is also leading the way in establishing outreach community cardiology care to further improve direct access to cardiologists via collaboration with other healthcare providers who share our vision of innovative health care in the community so you can potentially see a Cardiologist in or near your own neighborhood in the near future.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe says spending by the film industry increased 16 percent last year compared to 2012.
The governor's office issued a news release Tuesday saying the economic impact of the film industry in Virginia was $382 million in 2013.
The state has an incentive program that offers tax credits and grants to film projects made in the state. The Associated Press reported Sunday that Del. Peter Farrell and his father, Dominion Resources Inc. CEO Thomas Farrell II, made a movie last year that received $1 million in assistance from the state.
Other projects filmed in Virginia last year include the National Geographic channel's "Killing Kennedy" and AMC's television series "TURN."

The presence of headlights in your car is an assurance of your safety; it helps you see a clearer view of the road, especially when you are travelling in dark areas and in bad weather conditions. Headlights prevent you from the possible collisions that you may encounter down the road while driving.
As a car owner, one of your concerns is your car headlights. As much as possible, you want to personalize it, having your own preference of headlights. Of course, there are lots of available car headlights in the market – from halogen headlights to LED – and the widely used headlights for automobiles worldwide, which are the xenon headlights.
Although xenon and halogen headlights differ in just a lesser amount, you can get a benefit in xenon that halogen headlights cannot provide. Using XENON headlights for your car assures you that you will be getting equal service for the money you spent since it is made in high standards. So, you can ensure that it will last longer and is brighter compared to other headlamps in the market.
Along with its price is the assurance of a longer life, and that's what xenon headlights is all about - a longer life span. Xenon headlights basically have a longer life span than the halogen, as halogen has an estimated life of 1000 hours as compared to xenon which has 2000 hours lifetime. Moreover, xenon headlights use less power compared to the halogen, so you will surely get a great return of your money.
Xenon headlights are primarily designed to help light up darker roads. This enables other drivers to see you even farther. Xenon bulb produces 3000 lumens and 90 mcd/m2; on the other hand halogen light only generates 1400 lumens and 30 mcd/m2.Brighter yet not blinding, that`s the edge of xenon headlights compared to halogen. This means that you can drive confidently even during poor visibility conditions like heavy rains, darkness or storm. With this being said, there is no other reason why you choose XENON headlights for your car.
Safety is always the first concern of any driver and xenon headlights possess that features that makes driving safer. Say for example, you are driving home at dark night with heavy rains come your way, with xenon headlights you can assure that you can arrive safe since it is brighter and it lasts longer. With that you can have the ease on your mind.
The yellow color of halogen headlights causes the driver the difficulty to see at night, in the rain or even in the winter. Whereas when you are using XENON headlights for your car you will experience the opposite. With its striking white light you can surely see in full clarity the things ahead of you while driving.
Xenon headlight is a well established name in the market, using sophisticated technology as an edge among other headlights. Compared to other headlamps, xenon headlights produces a brighter light, longer life, full clarity plus the assurance of safety are all built in. With this being said using XENON headlights for your car would be the best thing to opt for if you are in a hunt for a best headlight.

It's #GivingTuesday and a great day to support music education programs across the country. We've already shown in hundreds of ways why music education matters:
- Helps raise achievement levels
- Improves graduation rates
- Increases test scores
- Allows for meaningful expression
- Helps with learning disabilities
- Better prepares students for the real world
- Engages specific areas of the brain
- Betters understanding of languages
- Improves memory
- Boosts attendance
- Gives students a purpose for going to school
- Gives students tools to evaluate and improve work
- Betters hand-eye coordination
- Enhances emotional development, imagination and creativity
- Reduces stress
- Builds both teamwork, independence and self-confidence
- And so much more!
But still, music programs are some of the most under-funded departments at schools, and many programs are threatened with being cut entirely.
So how can you give back to music education this #GivingTuesday? Here's 5 easy ways:
- Donate to a music education non-profit organization. Examples include:
- Donate to your state's music education chapters. Many state MEA's have scholarship or advocacy programs that need your support. Search for your local chapter and contact them directly to make a donation.
- Donate to a school's music program. Locate your community's public schools and contact their music department chair to see how you can make a personal donation. By making donations directly to public schools, you can see how your money is being spent and directly impacting your community.
- Donate to a community music non-profit organization. Community music programs usually already have non-profit status and spend most of their time trying to fundraise for their organization. Save them some time, find your favorite community ensemble and donate directly to them.
- Volunteer! There are many ways to give back without having to spend money. Volunteer for your local music programs today and help them in their future fundraising efforts.
Thank you for supporting music education this #GivingTuesday!

Racing injuries
Horses naturally run, but not at sustained speeds over the distances and obstacles in modern racecourses. Commercial races can be dangerous and exhausting for horses. As Mundy [1] puts it, "Consider a 1,000-lb horse traveling at speeds of more than 25 mph suspending its entire weight (a force approaching 1 ton) on a single limb. It's no wonder the lower limbs of horses are susceptible to sprains, strains, and fractures." A large-scale study of over 35,000 race starts found 3.3 horse injuries, of which 1.4 were fatal, for every 1,000 starts [2]. In New Zealand, the rate of failure to complete is around 2.88 per 1,000 horse starts [3].
Thoroughbreds are commonly raced in New Zealand, even though Mundy [1] notes that "Thoroughbreds … appear to be at particular risk for injury …" A range of other factors may also increase injury risks, including race type, number of horses and crowding. Jump races are particularly dangerous for horses, and the Melbourne Cup and similar high stakes races are extremely exhausting, and regularly result in deaths.
Veterinarians may be present, but as Mundy [1] notes, "Acute injury management expertise, equipment, and procedures vary among racetracks." Unfortunately, because of their body weight, treatment of horses with lower limb fractures is extremely difficult, and such horses are often euthanased trackside. Many horses have been killed at New Zealand racetracks in recent years.

text: So my first flash cart, like many others, was an R4. It's an original and not a clone. A few months ago I decided it was time to upgrade, partially because the 2GB limit wasn't cutting it anymore with a ton of shuffling all the time, but also because I was looking into getting a DSi XL at the time(3DS doused that desire). But I got an Acekard2i anyways. I have 2 DS lites, I bought a second one after my original started having game-crippling problems(mic doesn't work, R-button doesn't work even after trying all the tricks). I feel like I'm droning on here so I'll get to the point. My Acekard2i works in both DS lite units, as do all my games, however my R4 only works in my newer unit. Anybody have any idea why this could be? See until recently, I was content to just leave it that way and just use the other DS lite for trading pokemon between my games(retail and not). But I just put a new replacement shell on the old DS just for kicks and it turns out that now the old DS is working almost as good as new(R-button works 95% of the time now instead of the old 5% of the time). So I figured if my old DS is fully functional now then why not use my R4 in it for various purposes. So can anybody help me out with getting my R4 to work on my old DS now?


text: I can load it but then it asks for the update, which will probably brick my PAL wii right? I've read that the only way to get this to work is to use the freeloader 'alternate method' but the thing is that my freeloader is a 'backup' and it doesn't stop spinning after the lines go across the screen but loading the disc still works, but that could be the Wasabi using its region free. So if I use this alternate method of running games using freeloader and allow the update to run, this should be completely safe? Are there any other methods of getting brawl to work? Thanks if anybody can enlighten me on the subject.

My current night time routine is super simple but with a few additions once a week like face masks it feel like a pamper. I do try and switch it up every now and then because I think my skin gets used to the same products so it doesn't work as effective if I just continuously use the same things.
Makeup Removal
First of all, My first step. I take my make up off at the end of the day using Garnier Oil Infused Micellar Water it takes every scrap of makeup off but leaves my skin feeling super smooth and hydrated.
Cleanser & Exfoliator
Once all my make up is removed I then go in with Lush Cosmetics 'Ultrabland' cleanser, this is the most simple and natural cleanser I have ever used it amazing and I love the way it leaves my skin afterwards I rub it into my skin (dry) and then take it off with a damp bamboo flannel from Feel Unique its amazing it exfoliates at the same time and it leaves my skin super soft I love this stuff...If your having skin trouble you can use this cleanser and nothing else for a month and it will balance everything out.
Although my skin is overall dry I do get breakouts for whatever reason, to combat this I use Lush Cosmetics Tea Tree Toning Water if my skins bad I put it on a cotton wool pad and wipe it over my face If my skin isn't too bad or clearing up i just spritz it over my face, its all natural and has so many antibacterial ingredients that really clean and prevents breakouts.
Once or twice a week I like to use a face mask, I'm currently using the body shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, Its similar to the toner you can really feel it working which I love, it smells like lemonade a little bit, If I'm not using this face mask I'll be using Lush Cosmetics cupcake face mask that's my all time favourite face mask!
Another product from The Body Shop! I do like to stick to similar brands with skincare because I feel like they work together better, the drops of youth cream it feels super bouncy and my skin feels so nice the next morning and for lip balm I am obsessed with the Nuxe nourishing lip balm I use this every single night before bed I then put some Moroccanoil in my hair just on the ends before I go to sleep its my last step of my night time routine.
This night time routine is pretty simple and it really works for me at the moment which is why I wanted to share it :) do you have a night time routine?
Don't forget you can follow me on any social media or bloglovin by clicking on the social icons in the top left corner :)

I've posted about right to work states before, they are the 22 states (mostly Southern) where every employee has a decision whether he or she wants to pay union dues when working at a unionized facility. In the north, on the other hand, if the job is unionized, you must belong to the union to work there. Not surprising, right to work states have fewer unionized companies because employees don't want to pay union dues. Last week, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy informed us that not only is unionization down, but so is unemployment down in right to work states. "In December 2008, states with right-to-work laws had an average unemployment rate of 6.2 percent compared to 7.0 percent for states without right to work laws." Michigan (the heaviest unionized state) has the highest unemployment of all 50 states at 10.6 percent. The six states with the lowest unemployment rates all have right to work laws. Enough said.

Open up your existing services to new target groups with popular games
Silver surfers as gaming aficionados
Most users of game apps are over 30 years old, especially the group aged 50+ is growing rapidly, according to the 'Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware' (BIU).
The target audience for online and mobile games is thus becoming more diverse. For the older ones especially board and card games are interesting, with intuitive controls for smartphone or tablet. The game principles of Skat, Poker, Backgammon, Mahjong and Chess are well-known and do not require a long adaption phase.
Popular sudoku and crosswords
The classic Crosswords and Sudoku in responsive versions for all devices are offering a variety of puzzles and skill levels. As part of a games collection they increase the reach of the portal. Playing quizzes, the silver surfers benefit from their wealth of experience.
Logical games and memory trainers are appealing to the older generation. Offline playing is preferred, nervertheless about half of the players take part in popular online role-playing games.

by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Each page of Seeger's new picturebook offers the reader (or observer, really) a shade or type of the color of nature, the color of vegetables, the lush color of so much around us. Starting with "forest green" Seeger's rich multi-layered artwork invites a reader to explore the art. The rich green of the forest trees and leaves is offset by the brown forest floor carpet and a tiny bunny peeking out from behind a tree. When the page is turned, here the real treat becomes clear. The green leaves are die-cut in the page, and as it turns and those same die-cuts are placed atop the prior page, they become fish, swimming behind a turtle on the "sea green" scene!
Each page offers this magical surprise. The bubbles emitting from the turtle turn into spots on a lime rind, and the lime slice die-cut turns into the soup ladle on the "pea green" page. It's fun, clever, and perfectly executed. My favorite is the nail-shaped hole on the "faded green" page that, when turned, becomes the spotlight on the barn nearby kids chasing fireflies on a "glow green" spread.

FAQ's for New Patients
Welcome to Advanced Physical Therapy Center

At Advanced Physical Therapy Center, we use joint and soft tissue mobilization techniques, exercise, heat, ice, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound to improve your condition.

Should I ask my doctor to refer me if I think I may need therapy?
Definitely. If you have a problem that could be helped by physical therapy ask your doctor for a referral. You are also free to choose which physical therapist to receive treatment from.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
In NC, you are allowed to see a Physical Therapist without a physician's referral. Although direct access to physical therapy is available, you many insurance companies including Medicare require a referral. This referral may come from an MD, Physician Assistant, Clinical Nurse Specialist or Nurse Practitioner. It's best if you check with your insurance company to determine whether or not you are required to have a referral for coverage.
What to Expect on Your First Visit.
The first visit will consist of your physical therapist performing a detailed (thorough) evaluation of the problem. This includes a history, strength and flexibility tests and measurements, postural and movement analysis and palpation to determine muscular and joint involvement. Ongoing assessment of these problems continue throughout your treatment. Following the evaluation, these findings are discussed with you and a treatment plan is developed to reach your goals. At that point, treatment is initiated. All of your treatment is provided by highly skilled licensed physical therapists.
At every visit, wearing loose comfortable clothing is ideal for doing exercises.
What type of treatment will I receive?
Treatment will consist of a variety of hands-on joint and soft tissue treatment techniques, specific exercises and pain reducing modalities. The goal is to restore function and relieve pain. You will be prescribed a condition specific home exercise program and educated in ways to speed recovery and prevention.
How long will each visit last?
Plan on the first session lasting about 1 -1 ½ hours. Each subsequent visit will last 45 min. to 1 hour.
When should I start physical therapy?
Ideally, as early as possible. This will help prevent the problem (dysfunction) from becoming chronic and prevent future problems. This can also decrease the length of time you may require treatment.
Anytime you have a problem that keeps you from participating in activities or performing functions you are accustomed to, you might benefit from seeing a physical therapist. Some of the most common reasons people come to Advanced Physical Therapy Center for treatment include:
What is your financial policy?
What information do I need to bring with me?
What is Physical Therapy utilizing osteopathic principles?
At Advanced Physical Therapy Center, both traditional physical therapy and an osteopathic philosophy are utilized. Osteopathy is not a set of techniques, but a philosophy of treatment. A.T. Still first proposed osteopathy in 1874. He established the principles of osteopathy which involved five concepts. First, the body functions as a whole. Second, the body has an ability to recover from disease. The role of the manual medicine practitioner is to enhance recovery. Third, the musculoskeletal system is an integral part of the total body and alterations in it will affect the health of the body and its ability to recover. Fourth, structure and function are interrelated. Structure controls function and function influences structure. And finally, the use of manual therapy would enhance the body's maximal functional capacity which will assist in recovery and enhance a level of wellness.
Physical Therapists treat musculoskeletal problems or dysfunctions. The musculoskeletal system is said to comprise 60 % of the body. At Advanced Physical Therapy Center, we believe and understand that the musculoskeletal system is an important and interrelated part of total body function. Alterations in the musculoskeletal system can influence the rest of the body. The body is constantly responding to internal and external stimuli through reflex neural pathways. These neural pathways can lead to problems in the musculoskeletal system and/or organ systems.
A disturbance of the body circulation will lead to problems. This decrease in circulation will affect the delivery of oxygen and other substances as well as the removal of waste products which then affect the cells of the body. Circulation to the cells can be affected by alterations in structure or posture, increases in fascial tightness, and changes in neural reflexes. The musculoskeletal system needs to operate at its peak level to allow the utmost level of circulatory function and therefore optimal cellular function.
The musculoskeletal system utilizes a great deal of the body's energy. Any increase in activity will require the internal organs to deliver additional energy to sustain the movement. If dysfunction is present, the musculoskeletal system will require more energy to perform daily activities. An example of increased energy expenditure is with a knee problem. Because of this dysfunction, energy expenditure will increase up to 40% during normal walking. When a person has multiple minor restrictions of movement, the ability to perform general activities will affect total body function and require increased level of energy to perform functional tasks.
The goal of treatment is to enhance the body's own mechanisms to recover and achieve the highest level of function.

About the Netherbane
Having been founded in mid-2005 on the Earthen Ring (US) server, the Netherbane is one of the oldest roleplaying guilds for demon hunters and demon hunter allies in World of Warcraft. Long before the demon hunter existed as a hero class, we were roleplaying demon hunters using only the classes available, creating our own lore, and becoming a part of the hidden backdrop of our home server.
Lead by Shan'do Tharion Greyseer and his two thero'shan, Fethas Soulthorn and Araatris Darkwatcher, the Netherbane and its non-demon hunter allies strive to protect Azeroth from the threat of the Burning Legion and other demons. While we are small, we are focused around treating the lore of this world with respect while also enjoying demon hunter and demon-focused roleplay.
If you seek to know more, feel free to delve into this site. In here you will find our history, our beliefs, and our knowledge.
This site was designed to serve one primary purpose: to provide information and custom lore to roleplayers in the World of Warcraft. Not only will you find guidance on how to roleplay a demon hunter who follows the path of the Netherbane (as opposed to the path of the Illidari as established by Blizzard in World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade and World of Warcraft: Legion), but you will also find information on the cast of characters who have crossed paths with the Netherbane in one form or another.
The Netherbane has never actively recruited. As a roleplaying guild representing an inherently small group, we have always relied on potential members coming to us. However, this does not mean we will not accept new members. If you have an interest in the Netherbane as a guild, or you wish your character to be taught by Tharion Greyseer, Fethas Soulthorn, or Araatris Darkwatcher, then simply come to us in-character and get to know us. Interact with us naturally in-character (and out-of-character where appropriate), and we shall go from there.
Why is the guild so small?
It takes a rare sort to be a true demon hunter.
Demon hunters are outcasts from their society. They are shunned from the population at large because of their pacts with darkness. Most common folk neither trust nor understand the demon hunter, and because of this, they are rare.
The name Netherbane is used to refer to the group of those who follow the teachings of Tharion Greyseer who, in turn, follows the teachings of his former mentor, Eraelan Netherbane. The relationship between Shan'do Tharion Greyseer and his students is similar to the relationship between a sensei and his pupils, and this is why the group is kept small. There is currently only one shan'do to a handful of students.
In addition to the in-character reasons for keeping the group limited, there are also the real life obligations that make running a guild difficult. The guild is kept small as much for reasons of leader sanity as it is for more lore-based reasons, and unless things change drastically in the future, the guild will remain small.
It is just the way of things.
The Netherbane is guided by Shan'do Tharion Greyseer. However, as time and life prevent the level of attention needed from one person, both Fethas Soulthorn and Araatris Darkwatcher act as co-leads.
We are all adults here, and we all have lives that require attention even more so that World of Warcraft. Often times this pulls us away from things like guild management, event scheduling, and roleplay coordination. Be understanding when it comes to our activity, for balance is an immensely important thing for all of us to pursue.

There are both administrative and criminal penalties associated with being charged with DWI.
- Criminal – this portion is the actual "charge" of DWI. It can result in fines, the loss of your license, restricted driving privileges, higher insurance rates, and even jail time.
- Administrative – in Missouri, if you are found to have over the legal limit while driving (or refuse a breathalyzer), there is an automatic license suspension that follows, unless it is appealed in an administrative hearing within 10 days of your arrest.

BARCELONA, Spain -- The fighter said he got thumbed in the eye. The coach said the fighter quit. And a third party offered just what the latest U.S. boxing controversy needed: Another opinion.
The facts are, U.S. flyweight Tim Austin lasted only 64 seconds in his Olympic semifinal bout against Cuba's Raul Gonzalez yesterday before Indonesian referee Kishen Narsi stopped the fight.
Austin's personal coach, John Falcone, claimed afterward that the outcome would have been different had he been permitted in Austin's corner. But U.S. coach Joe Byrd responded wearily, "When you get thumbed, no coach can help that."

Alonso Krangle LLP is committed to protecting the legal rights of children injured by unsafe products, dangerous toys, and defective drug and defective medical devices.
Melville, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Attorneys Andres Alonso and David Krangle, founding partners of Alonso Krangle LLP, a national law firm focused on child safety and child product liability injuries, is today warning parents that fentanyl pain patches can be extremely dangerous to children. Last month, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to remind caregivers, parents, and medical providers about the dangers fentanyl pain patches pose to children. Accidental exposure to fentanyl pain patches has resulted in serious injuries, and even deaths, among children due to fentanyl overdose, according to the agency. An overdose of fentanyl can cause death by slowing breathing and increasing the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. [http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm300803.htm?utm_campaign=Google2&utm_source=fdaSearch&utm_medium=website&utm_term=fentanyl%20patch&utm_content=1
Alonso Krangle LLP is offering free lawsuit consultations to families of children injured by fentanyl pain patches, or children injured by unsafe products, dangerous toys, defective drugs and defective medical devices. To discuss a potential lawsuit with one of the experienced and compassionate child safety lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP, please contact us at 1-800-403-6191 or visit our website, FightForVictims.com.
Fentanyl pain patches deliver a constant dose of fentanyl, a powerful opiod painkiller. The devices are approved to treat patients in constant pain by releasing the medicine over the course of three days. Fentanyl pain patches are sold under the Duragesic brand name by Johnson & Johnson. The patches are also sold as generic products by a number of companies.
According to the FDA, the agency recently evaluated a series of 26 cases of pediatric accidental exposures to fentanyl patches reported over the past 15 years. Of these 26 cases, ten resulted in death and 12 in hospitalization. Sixteen of the 26 cases occurred in children two years old or younger.
The agency pointed out that the curiosity and mobility of young children make them particularly vulnerable to fentanyl pain patch injuries. Small children often find lost patches, take improperly discarded patches from the trash, or find improperly stored patches, all of which may result in the devices being placed in their mouths or sticking to their skin. Young children can even be exposed to fentanyl while being held by someone wearing a partially detached patch which can then transfer to the child. Serious adverse events can also occur when a child comes in contact with a used patch which still contains a considerable amount of fentanyl, the FDA said.
To reduce the risk that children will accidently come in contact with a fentanyl pain patch, the FDA recommends that patch users and their caregivers take these precautions:
Keep fentanyl patches and other drugs in a secure location that is out of children's sight and reach. Toddlers may think the patch is a sticker, tattoo or bandage.
Consider covering the fentanyl patch with an adhesive film to make sure the patch doesn't come off your body.
Throughout the day, make sure—either by touching it or looking at it—that the patch is still in place.
Alonso Krangle LLP Child Safety Campaign
Alonso Krangle LLP is committed to protecting the legal rights of children injured by unsafe products, dangerous toys, and defective drugs and medical devices. Every year, defective products, drugs and medical devices injure thousands of children:
There were an estimated 251,700 toy-related injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments in 2010. [cpsc.gov/library/toymemo10.pdf]
A total of 81,700 children under 5 were injured in 2010 because of dangerous nursery products, including cribs, infant carriers, strollers and high chairs [cpsc.gov/library/foia/foia12/os/nursery10.pdf].
Dangerous playground equipment caused 2,691 injuries, including 40 deaths, between 2008 and 2011. [http://www.cpsc.gov/library/foia/foia10/os/playground.pdf
In 2010, a study published in the journal Pediatrics found that injuries from medical devices send more than 70,000 children and teens to the emergency room every year. [pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2010/07/26/peds.2010-0528.abstract]
According to a report issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in March, more than 9,000 children die each year from unintentional injuries such as poisoning. Prescription drug overdose is the most common form of poisoning among teens, according to the report. [cdc.gov/media/releases/2012/p0416_children_deathrate.html]
If your child sustained a serious injury due to a dangerous product, drug or medical device, your family may be able to file a lawsuit seeking compensation from the manufacturer, supplier and others who brought the dangerous item to market. To discuss a potential lawsuit with one of the experienced and compassionate child safety lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP, please contact us at 1-800-403-6191 or visit our website, http://www.FightForVictims.com.
