The Pennsylvania Chamber workers' compensation executive committee has submitted its latest proposal to further limit the rights of injured workers. The proposal outlines five areas where it believes it will "improve the quality of care while curtailing waste and abuse." The five areas are prescription drugs, the utilization review process, fee scheduling of medical bills, longer periods of managed care and administrative issues. To start, we'll look at the prescription drug changes the Chamber has proposed.
Mandatory Drug Testing
The Chamber wants mandatory drug testing at set intervals when Schedule II narcotics are prescribed. The most common Schedule II prescriptions are oxycontin, fentanyl and hydromorphine. The Chamber claims that this will ensure that the patient is taking the drug as opposed to selling drugs on the street and will be a cost saving mechanism.
The Chamber's proposal on this issue is designed to appeal to the masses but fails to offer a real problem for which a solution is needed. What legislator wants to be the one to vote against drug testing? By its very suggestion, it plants the seed in the legislators' minds that injured workers are all addicted to drugs. There are no empirical studies to support that there is any misuse.
What the Chamber has failed to explain is that nearly all medical providers who prescribe Schedule II narcotics perform routine toxicology screens to ensure compliance. This is for the benefit of the patient and also to protect their own professional license. In fact, I always encourage medical providers to perform random toxicology screens to ensure compliance. Drug addiction is an ugly and sad situation; one that I have no problem in taking a hand in preventing. However, the Chamber's suggestion of mandatory drug tests is merely another way to paint the picture that injured workers are either addicted to drugs or selling them as an effort to make future proposals easier to pass. It simply isn't true and it continues to bring fault to a no-fault system. If fault is going to be addressed, questions of employer negligence must be open for discussion.
From a logistical standpoint, the Chamber fails to offer any proposal on how mandatory drug testing could even be carried out. It offers no advice on the repercussion of failing a drug test. We know that a failed drug test will trigger an onslaught of fictitious "modified duty" job offers that will be used to cut off the injured worker's wage loss benefits on the theory that their loss of earnings is due to the failed drug test, not the work injury.
Mandatory drug testing is an easy thing to vote yes for and difficult to vote no. There is no doubt that there needs to be strict compliance with a provider's prescription recommendation, but the providers are already taking care of these issues. Let's let the doctors take care of patients, not the Chamber.
Prescription Benefits
The Chamber proposes that the insurance carriers mandate where an injured worker fills his or her prescriptions. Guess what the purpose is? Curbing drug use and lowering costs. Remember that seed about the drug abusing injured worker? It's back and trying to bloom into a prickly cactus.
The other purpose? Coordination of various drugs to protect the patient. Let's look at that closer. A workers' compensation carrier is only obligated to pay for prescriptions related to the work injury. If you ask any provider about prescribing pain medications, they will tell you that they require patients to sign a consent agreement that they are the only doctor who will be prescribing pain medications for them. The work related prescriptions from that doctor will then be processed through the PBM (Prescription Benefits Manager). Prescriptions for unrelated health conditions are prescribed by a primary care doctor and the patient is responsible for payment. Those prescriptions would not be processed through the PBM. So let's ask the question again, what various medications are the PBMs coordinating for the patient's benefit? The answer is that the PBMs are not coordinating anything; they merely serve as a vehicle for the insurance carrier to control the dispensing of medications, control the overall medical care and thus, his or her case.
Through a mandated PBM, the insurer has complete and total control over prescription medications. The upside to the PBM is that they tend to guarantee delivery of prescriptions via mail. However, there are several mail-order prescription companies already in existence that are excellent for the injured worker. They effectively serve as the middle man between the client and the claims adjuster. Difficulties filling prescriptions are problematic for everyone involved; the injured worker, the staff at the firm fielding the call and the adjuster who is unsure as to what exactly is happening at the pharmacy. That's why we recommend one of several companies to handle prescription medications. They have been a great relief for our clients.
While it is certainly unlawful for a carrier to stop payment for medications without availing itself to the Utilization Review process or formal adjudication by a Judge, I'd have to get into another line of business if the insurance carriers abided by the terms of the Act to decline payment of medications. Experience tells me that control of medications through a PBM will absolutely lead to illegal refusal to pay for medications on a whim and often with serious mental and physical repercussions for our clients. Not to mention unnecessary litigation for everyone.
Private and effective mail order prescription companies are out there to make the dispensing of medications easy for the client and the claims adjuster. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. Let's remind the Chamber of this and let the market work itself out instead of monopolizing it.
First Fill
Apparently, the Chamber prefers this to apply only to doctors who dispense medications at their office. They have not proposed this rule to apply to pharmacies. The Chamber's purpose is simply stated as a cost saving mechanism.
First, we must call into question the very constitutionality of such a proposal. A piece of legislation like this obviously has an impact on interstate commerce. Workers' compensation cases in the Philadelphia area routinely involve doctors outside of the Commonwealth; primarily in New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia. Several of the mail-order prescription companies are also out of state. Under this proposal then, out of state pharmacies are allowed to dispense more than one fill of a medication, but our in-state doctors cannot. There are significant issues to think about in terms of the Commerce Clause.
The inquiry should probably end there, but I'd like to point out the other major flaw in this proposal: It suggests that insurance carriers pay differing rates for prescription drugs. This is entirely false. All medical treatment under the Workers' Compensation Act is subject to the fee schedule. That means all treatment and medications have a set price. The insurance carrier does not pay differing prices for the same prescription to different pharmacies. Thirty pills of prescription strength ibuprofen are paid at the same rate at every single pharmacy for every single injured worker. Case closed.
The Chamber's proposals may be new, but the driving force is not. Their goal is to use talking points like cost-saving and drug abusing claimants in order to gain more control over medical care of the injured worker and the overall claim. Controlling the doctors they see and the medications they take allows insurance companies to hurt hardworking people in what is often the single most difficult time of their life.

Visual Arts
Elementary Art, Fine Arts Fair
Students explore art early in elementary school with weekly lessons from instructor Lori Cook. Junior high students study art as an elective under instructor Bil Gardner.
The high school art track begins with Art I, a comprehensive class covering a wide variety of media. Art II students complete between seven and 10 major projects in a school year. Art III and IV students work with instructor Barbara McDade to custom design their curricula according to their interests, strengths and weaknesses. Because Mrs. McDade requires that all subjects be original (as opposed to "copying" published photographs or the works of other artists), students often gain proficiency in photography while studying art at FACS.

Trello Pro is an ultimate Trello tweaking tool for Google Chrome. It comes packed with features and you can customize it for each individual board, choosing what you want to tweak and what not.
1. Card Title Tweaks
The idea is pretty simple here – expanding the type of information that a Trello card can contain without losing that simplicity Trello spoiled it's users with.
You can now turn on and use the following components within card titles:
- Project/Group – will be rendered as bold text to make it easy for you to discern different projects or ticket groups (e.g. Epics).
- Inline labels – will be shown below ticket name with a label icon to make it possible for you to add a number of your custom inline labels/tags that don't conflict with the structure you envisioned for the default Trello labels.
- Time entries – will be shown below ticket name with a clock icon to enable manual time tracking and make it easy for you to see how much time was spent on a specific task.
Doing this is pretty simple, just type those titles in the following format:
Project/Tag :: Card Title [inline-label] {time-entry}
2. UI Tweaks
At any time you can activate the following tweaks for any board:
- Card numbers – will be shown as bold blue text to make it easy for you to reference tickets for yourself or between team members (or clients, right?).
- Full-sized Trello labels – turns those colored lines into full-fledged labels that fit perfectly on the card and really stand them out.
- Custom background image – wasn't this supposed to be an existing Trello feature? Well, now you have it, just paste the URL of the image you want rendered as a background on your board and you're all set.
- Custom CSS – if you know what you're doing and you know a way to make Trello look even better, this one's for you. Just paste your CSS and save, it will be loaded to your board.
- Priorities – will make cards more prominent. Trello Pro supports 3 priority levels!
Configuration for each board
Almost all Trello tweaking solutions out there assume you want them happening on all Trello boards you visit. With Trello Pro you can configure exactly what tweak will be applied to what board. Yes – that does mean you can set different background images for different boards.
What about permissions?
- Read and write to trello.com – Speaks for itself, that's where Trello lives.
- Storage – Local browser storage is used to store your configuration for the Trello boards where you use Trello Pro features. The data is synced across browsers if you are signed in with your Google account.
Where can I get this?
You can visit the extension page on the Chrome Web Store. You can report any issues and/or suggestions there. Enjoy!

Don't trust any Tom…
Welsh Government
Raising awareness of the benefit of TrustMark's stamp of approval.
We understood very quickly that one of the most appealing things about TrustMark was the clear benefits it could provide for both consumers and tradespeople. Consumers want someone they can trust, and tradespeople understand that quality approval can bring them more business.
The name TrustMark became a great asset when it came to formulating the creative ideas. At the time, the name lacked public awareness—but by combining the name with a familiar idiom—the line "Don't Trust any Tom, Dick, or Harry" was developed, and became even better when it was refined to as "Don't Trust any Tom, Dick, or Harriet…TrustMark". A series of fantastic creative ideas flowed from this line, including website banners, print adverts, and two animations, in both Welsh and English.

In a bowl soak beans in water to cover by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak and drain. In a heavy kettle (at least 5 quarts) simmer ham hocks and wheat berries in water and broth, covered, 1 hour. Add drained beans and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and skim froth. Add onions, carrots, celery, bay leaf, and rosemary and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 1 hour. Transfer ham hocks with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Discard fat and bones and chop meat and set aside.
In a blender or food processor puree 3 cups of the soup. Stir puree into soup with the chopped meat and the escarole and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Soup may be made 4 days ahead (cool uncovered before chilling covered.)
Wheat berries are available at natural foods stores and some specialty foods shops.

It's Christmas time again and that means dragging out your old decorations that have been passed down to you from generations above yours so you can cherish the christmas spirit the way your elders did, with ornaments that bubble little colored water, velvet ribbons, and Bing Crosby. There are more of the old favorites, like the Grinch, hot chocolate with marshmallows, christmas music sang by Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Kermit the Frog. There's the 24 hour showing of the Christmas Story, and of course, It's a Wonderful Life, staring my favorite, Jimmy Stewart. Then there are going to be the traditions that you start for yourself, ones that you find you love year after year, and you found on your own, ones that your pep pep didn't pass on. The ones that I remember are making and decorating sugar cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, and having spiced egg nog while having the Christmas Story on the television in the background. My family is small, and we don't always get along, or make the effort to meet up, even for the Holidays. You can think it sad, but I also love to decorate my apartment alone, maybe with one other person and a bottle of wine. I like to bake, for the sake of baking, and give the treats away keeping only 1 or 2 for myself. I love to make gifts in my little "Elf Sweatshop" until Christmas morning, hand making presents to suit everyone's tastes. I always find myself putting WAY more effort into the holidays then anyone else I know. I'd love to tone down the hand made gifts, and cooking and baking, the Ella Fitzgerald swinging Christmas album, but then I would be denying myself who I really am, and that's not fair, is it? But back to what Christmas is about, decorating. I'm just kidding, but I really love to decorate, I am a designer after all! Why bother decorating when I rarely have anyone over to share? Because I love to come home at the end of the night, and with the flip of a switch, or the simple plugging in of a string of lights, the Christmas spirit is there in my apartment, and it's a heart warming feeling. It's my own personal Christmas. The one I created, the one I always wanted as a child but never got. No family fighting, no disappointment when you didn't get to open a present, and just simple silence. Minus that time my cat tipped over the tree. But here i'd like to share with you some things i've come across that have made decorating easy and fun. Enjoy!
Hanging Bulbs from places other than your tree: You can hang a christmas bulb from a lampshade, a fireplace mantle, a chandelier, or a fun antique ladder or book case.
Hanging colorful bulbs from a curtain rod is a great way to add some cheer to your windows for all to see!
Using mirrors: You can use a smaller sized wall mirror on a tabletop to place your centerpiece on to really make it sparkle. You can also make sure to hang a mirror across from your christmas tree on the wall to reflect your lights into the room.
Use Paper: Using old newspapers make for a vintage inspired Christmas. You can find old paper that isn't quite falling apart at antique malls and thrift stores. Use the paper to wrap a gift, and use jute for ribbon, and add a branch of a pine tree in there, or some vintage flatware as a bow. You can make paper trees, wreathes, and paper mache ornaments.
Paper Garland: Ever wonder what to do with your old greeting cards? I've seen it done where you can take some jute, and some cloths pins and string your cards over a doorway like garland. The more you get, the more you clip to the jute. Another thing you can do that's similar to displaying your cards is to put little envelopes up instead. You can use them to count down to the days of Christmas and put little wishes, love notes, gift cards, or paper cut out crafts in each one.
Get Felt: There are enough awesome things to do with felt that i've found here that i'll have to write another article dedicated entirely to the topic. But for now, i'll just tap into the holiday aspect of felt fun.
Here's a little fun home made felt ornament with a fearful eaten gingerbread man. Fun thing about felt: a needle and thread and a bottle of glue is really all you need to make fun things.
Here are a few fun gingerbread houses. This project uses some ribbon, felt, and embroidery floss.
There are many kinds of ornaments you can make with felt. This one would last through Valentine's day!
Advent Calenders: What better way to count down to Christmas than with gifts every day? You can fill the daily holders with items from a dollar store, Target's dollar area, or a candy store. Here are a few ideas.
I like this home made felt advent calendar. I like felt. Can you tell?
I know this one looks like a party is being thrown, but look at all the goodies in there! You don't need a fireplace for this. A bookshelf, window sill, or entertainment unit would work.
There are a few ideas for you to start from, I'll post more later when I can do them myself, and take pictures. Hopefully soon when I get my own place! Happy Holidays!

I thought long and hard about what I wanted to write about for my first post. It is a really important post! So, I focused, which can be difficult for me at times. What I most wanted to do was show the variety of wearable beads of clay. Not only can you find every shape and size of bead, pendant, or cabochon...you can find them in porcelain, stoneware and earthenware. You can find earthy, rustic pieces. You can find bright, flashy ones. And everything in between! In addition, you can wear beads of clay dangling from your ears, around your neck, on a ring, as a bracelet or in your hair!
The goal of these posts will be to talk to artists not only that make the beads but also those who make finished products with Beads of Clay members beads. I look forward to sharing what I learn! So please - if you are a ceramic bead artist - or a jewelry artist that has a passion for using ceramic in your designs - e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can chat :)

Destination type
Set on a horseshoe-shaped ridge 6,600 feet above sea level in the Garhwal foothills of the Himalayas in Uttaranchal, the delightful town of Mussoorie is a medley of sensations. It's where exuberant tourists rub shoulders with adventurous trekkers headed for the Himalayas and pious pilgrims on their way to the holy sites of Gangotri and Jamnotri.
You'll find houses across town with the curious prefix of Glen — these once belonged to British folk from Scotland who identified the Himalayan meadows with their glens (long, deep, U-shaped valley typically with a watercourse running through it) back home! Names like Connaught Castle, Grey Castle and Castle Hill remind us of the British love for the cooler climes of the hills and their yearning for home.Mullingar House, the oldest building in Mussoorie, was the home of an Irishman called Captain Young from Mullingar, who commanded the first Gurkha battalion here. According to popular lore, the ghost of Captain Young visits his home on moonlit nights.
Lal Tibba, the highest peak in Mussoorie at 7,510 feet, is a restricted area because of the presence of the Indian Military there. Lower down, in Mussoorie town, you can find the schools and settlements of Tibetans who fled after the Chinese took over their homeland.
Mussoorie offers a variety of options for visitors. Entertainment arcades like mini Appu Ghar and the skating rink at Kulri Bazaar are perfect for families and kids. For nature lovers, there's the Benog Wildlife Sanctuary, and bargaining in the Himalayan and Tibetan curio shops is a shopper's delight. The more adventurous will enjoy trekking and horse-riding through the forest-rock terrain.It's a brilliant mosaic encased within the awesome beauty of the Himalayas.
#1. The Electric Picture Palace: One of the earliest cinema halls in India The Electric Picture Palace, one of India's earliest cinema halls in India, was established in 1912, soon after electricity arrived in Mussoorie. It survived for 90 years and entertained many movie fans. Its now being renovated to make way for a multiplex.
#2. Mussoorie: The favourite escape for celebrities From actors to politicians to sports stars, #Mussoorie has been the first getaway choice for several celebrities. Bollywood star Dev Anand spent many vacations in Mussoorie; the members of the Nehru family are known to be regular visiting patrons of the hill town and so is Sachin Tendulkar, who chose to visit Mussoorie right after his retirement from cricket.
#3. National Academy of Administration: Once a hotel, now home to the sharpest brains in the countryIn 1958, when the Indian Government decided to set up a National Academy of Administration, where training would be given to all the recruits of the Civil Services, The Ministry of Home Affairs decided to amalgamate the IAS Training School, Delhi and the IAS Staff College, Shimla to form a 'National Academy of Administration' at Mussoorie, it was set up in 1959. In October 1973, it was renamed "Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration".
#4. The Corn Village In Mussoorie Tucked away on the outskirts of #Mussoorie, is the Corn Village. It got its name because of the unusual method of storing corn; the blue houses with bright sheaves of golden yellow corn hung from the roofs is surely a stunning sight to see.
#5. Mussoorie: Home to Cedrus Deodara or the Himalayan Cedar whose wood is said to last for centuries is found abundantly in #Mussoorie.

After months of bad blood between Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees, the team is finally making plans to celebrate his 3,000 hit.
The Yankees announced on Friday that the team would hold a pre-game ceremony on September 13 to celebrate the momentous hit even though the event happened on June 19.
This is a far cry from how the team treated his 660th home run on May 1, a hit that tied Willie Mays' record. The team pretty much just ignored the milestone and never mentioned it in game notes.
The team spent months fighting against the $6 million in bonuses it was supposed to pay A-Rod. Finally, by July 3 the two sides had announced that they had "amicably resolved their potential dispute." After those months of arguing, the team decided to donate $3.5 million to several charities.
The team also agreed to donate the remaining $2.5 million to the MLB Urban Youth Foundation.
After starting strong, A-Rod hasn't been having a great season of late, hitting .146 with no homers in August. Still, Rodriguez made quite a splash for his 40th birthday at the end of July hitting homer number 678.

Causes of Hammertoes? Foot problems, such as hammertoes, often develop in early adulthood and worsen with aging. There are many contributing factors, some of which you cannot help:
- Heredity
- Toe muscle or tendon imbalance
- Prior trauma, such as a broken toe
- Arthritis
- Excessive pronation (inward rolling) of the foot
- Excessive flattening of the foot
- Tight calf muscles and a very high arch
However, women are more affected by hammertoes. Many shoe styles that appeal to women can look oh-so-good when worn, but cause the toes to be in an unnatural, bent position. This is worsened by:
- Wearing tight, poorly fitting shoes – especially high-heeled and pointed shoes
- Excessive use of open-back/strap-less shoes, requiring toes to grab
- Wearing shoes that gradually squeeze the foot bones into an unnatural shape
While there are non-surgical treatments, such as splints and padding, in the early stages of the condition, the toe eventually becomes so painful and rigid that the only option is to surgically correct the toe. If you are investigating the MiToe™ solution, chances are you have reached this point and must speak to your doctor.

Churchill's Scientists
23 January 2015 – 1 March 2016
National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to over 240 venues across the UK as well as 50% off major exhibitions.
Marking the 50th anniversary of Churchill's death, a display of photographs, film footage and artefacts reveals the remarkable scientific breakthroughs that took place under his direction as prime minister.
This exhibition explores the achievements of the scientists and inventors who came to prominence during Churchill's period in power. It specifically addresses the advancement of discovery during the Second World War – for example the pioneering new methods that enabled chemists to mass-produce penicillin and antibiotics and the radar invented by Robert Watson-Watt that helped Britain win the Battle of Britain.
Lesser-known stories include that of nutritionist Elsie Widdowson and her scientific partner Robert McCance, who self-tested the austere war diet. Their work – The Composition of Foods – remains the standard work on nutrition today.
Churchill's commitment to deepening science education continued past the end of the war. This is highlighted by a further section focusing on discoveries in molecular genetics, radio astronomy, nuclear power, nerve and brain function and robotics post-1945.
Among them are Bernard Lovell's ambitions to build the world's largest steerable radio telescope and John Kendrew's ground-breaking research into myoglobin – the first protein to be analysed structurally in three dimensions.
Don't miss
Highlights include a number of personal items belonging to Churchill, such as the cigar he was smoking when he heard he had been re-elected as Prime Minister in 1951 and proofs from his six volume series The Second World War, marked up and corrected in his own hand.

October 12, 2016 06:00 ET
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - October 12, 2016) - KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today that its wholly owned U.S. Government Services subsidiary, KBRwyle, has been awarded one of five seats on the U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific's (NAVFAC Pacific) Global Contingency Services Multiple Award Contract (GCSMAC) II. GCSMAC II is an eight year indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) multiple award contract.
Under this contract, KBRwyle will have the opportunity to compete on $900M in task orders in support of worldwide global contingency services for NAVFAC. Specifically, services will include short-term contingency Facility Support Contract/Base Operating Support (FSC/BOS) services with incidental construction in support of natural disasters, humanitarian efforts, the full range of military actions, and interruptions in services at various locations throughout the world.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to further KBRwyle's long history providing contingency support solutions for the U.S. Navy through GCSMAC II," said Roger Wiederkehr, President, KBRwyle. "KBRwyle has successfully delivered mission critical projects for the U.S. military for decades. This win is a testament to our reputation for disciplined delivery, high customer satisfaction and unparalleled performance-often in the most austere environments," continued Wiederkehr.
As an incumbent on the Navy's GCSMAC I and its predecessor Construction Capabilities Contract (CONCAP), KBRwyle has successfully provided services for the U.S. Navy under these contract vehicles including supporting the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster relief effort. KBRwyle is currently operating in Poland supporting the U.S. Navy and Missile Defense Agency, providing Integrated Base Operations Support under a task order that was awarded under GCSMAC I.
As a major supporting contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense, KBRwyle is one of the only contractors to maintain a prime position on all major contingency multiple award task order contracts (MATOC) for the U.S. military including the U.S. Army's LOGCAP, the U.S. Navy's GCSMAC and GCCMAC, the U.S. Air Force's AFCAP and the USACE MED MATOC.
This is an IDIQ contract and expected revenue will be booked into backlog of unfilled orders for KBR's Government Services Business Segment as task orders are awarded throughout the contract period.

A few life updates listed in order of importance:
1) No Chemo!!!! This is big. A few days ago, we learned that Bella won't have to undergo any chemo treatment. We were relieved to learn that the cancer is only in the isolated spot on her thigh and that it hasn't spread anywhere else. This week Bella starts on radiation treatments, which will last for five weeks and then the plan is to remove the tumor and hopefully that will be the end of the cancer forever. Just taking this day to day because it's going to be rough for Bella and she will feel tired and fatigued and have some side effects. Thanks a million to all the support we've received from family and friends.
2) Kittens! Last Monday, we adopted two kittens from the Cleveland APL, a two-month old boy named Ike and a four-month old girl named Tina. Tina is on the left and Ike is on the right. It still feels very weird without Milkshake around, but having two energetic kittens running around all day, definitely makes the house livelier.
3) Running The running is going pretty well though obviously taking a back seat in terms of life priorities. I'm not sweating it if I miss a day or two here and there. Strangely enough, I've actually been running better on reduced volume over the last month. I've been trying to focus on staying in tune with the main energy systems for racing well at 5K-10K each week: a) a longer run; b) something strength oriented like a tempo run or mile repeats at 10K/15K effort; and c) something faster like hill repeats. I think I'm going to do a 5K in Independence on August 7 and then definitely start my fall racing season with the Northcoast Challenge 5-miler, which is one of my two or three favorite Cleveland races.

text: "With each new attack on a mosque, each new anti-Muslim slur by a prominent politician or pundit, each new poll showing that large swaths of Americans think President Obama is lying about his faith, it becomes clearer that we are in the midst of a national psychosis: the worst spasm of paranoia and bigotry of the post-Cold War age. The interesting question is: Why now?" Political writer Peter Beinart looks at national security scares old and new. "The awful irony, of course, is that persecuting Muslims at home actually endangers American security by fueling al Qaeda recruitment, just as the red scares of the early and mid-20th century handed propaganda victories to the USSR."

Love horoscopes: June 29 – July 5
On July 1, Venus conjoins Jupiter in Leo. Venus is the planet of attraction in astrology so all types of men will be gravitating to you. This is wonderful for seizing the attention of the most eligible bachelor in the room because you will clearly be getting the rose. However, Venus can also be as undiscriminating as a love potion, and when she mixes her energy with Jupiter's, you could find yourself being courted by men who are out of your league. They might be clients, bosses or hail from a completely different financial bracket. It will seem like a Cinderella story come to life, but these sorts of matches don't always end happily ever after. Just make sure to keep both feet on the ground while your head is in the clouds.

The running costs of maintaining a vehicle is something which has been increasing over the past few years. The more we try to lower our expenditure, the more our expenses become. Even the seemingly simple service of getting your car scrapped seems to cost a fortune these days.
That is why, you can use the services provided by Vauxhall breakers to get your job done on the cheap without too much hassle on your part. Here are some of the most important reasons why you should consider using their services.
One of the best aspects of using any scrap yard is the fact that you can salvage some of the parts which are still in one piece. That is done even better and in a manner which is more efficient by Vauxhall breakers. With their help, you will be able to get a lot of these parts at low prices. Most of the times, it costs only a fraction of what you would originally have to pay.
Better Mechanics
Another thing you need to consider is the fact that the mechanics at these kinds of breaker yards are far more skilled and experienced in their trade compared to other local companies. That alone should be a deal maker for anyone interested in the business. After all, more the experience of the workers better will be the chance of salvaging better parts.
Last but not the least; you will get a lot of offers and discounts on these parts from such a yard. That is not provided by everyone. Hence, it is definitely something worth considering if you are willing to get your Vauxhall smashed into pieces for something new. That is what Vauxhall breakers is there to provide anyways. So do keep that in mind when choosing.

A View From The Road - Volume 4, Number 1
January 11, 2010 | Chris Payatagool
Observations on technology trends from the latest conferences and seminars.
January 10, 2010
In This Edition:
* CES 2010 - The 3D Show
* The Effects of Smaller / Bigger
* Home Video Conferencing (Or is that Telepresence?)
* Technology Milestones
* New And Notable - From the Show Floor
Greetings from CES 2010 - or "The 3D Show" as most have been calling it, with my temporary new picture above a nod to the return of the days of us all wearing silly looking glasses in public ... but more on that later.
This was the first consumer electronics show in very long time that had significant logistical problems - which I suppose was both good and bad. Last year's show had 140K registered attendees and 130 "announced as present" (with 100K probably being a more accurate number.) The Consumer Electronics Association that runs the show was very concerned about the sparse crowds in the challenging economy and took significant steps to prevent that perception...steps that backfired. This years 43rd annual show was reduced to one venue - The Las Vegas Convention Center - intentionally not utilizing The Sands Convention Center nor any outdoor venues in the parking lot as they had done in years past (tents for special technologies, registration, etc.) Using what must have been Vaseline and a shoehorn the CEA folks crammed every inch of the LVCC's main areas, lobbies, hallways, etc. with exhibitors - many of which used more compact booths. There was no lobby mingling area, no CES store, and no breathing room at all (save for the very back of the south hall - which was vastly underutilized.) The result of all of this was that the estimated attendees of ~115K were often elbow-to-elbow in the larger booths on the show floor. As an example, It would take a person a good five minutes just to walk from one end of the Samsung booth to the other even if all you wanted to do was get to the other side without stopping - and you'd be pushing people and being pushed yourself the whole way.
If you wanted to try to stop and look at something then that'd be a whole different ball game, with you have to fight to stand your ground out of fear of being pushed along by the tide of people. This was neither fun nor productive for anyone. CEA really has to rethink the layout for next year.

What You Should Know About Selecting Health Products.
Chances are you buy at least one health product every day. You will have serious issues if your state of health is not good no matter how rich you are. You should only use healthcare products which have been confirmed to be safe so that you do not compromise your health without knowing. Every item that goes into your shopping basket should be thoroughly scrutinized to make sure it will not harm you.
It is a bad idea to buy all items you find on the magazine of social media. The advertisers pay for the publicity and the media will not take its time to consider the safety of the products when they are getting good money from the producer. It is upon you to do your research and confirm that the product will serve you well. The same goes for the items which are endorsed by celebrities. It is not the times when only the manufacturer could give information on whether the seller is genuine or not. Customer feedback cannot be underestimated in getting information.
There are people who think that every item that is purported to be natural is safe to use. There are manufacturers who will not hesitate to give you false information if they n=know they will sell more. Actually, there are no straightforward standards in grading how natural substances are post-processing. Farmers who use chemicals in producing their crops have no right to say they are organic and that is why you have to be cautious about what you are buying because even it is raw it might have been sprayed with chemicals. Ensure the item you are buying will not cause an allergic reaction.
When a beautiful product is on display, a large number of people will find it hard to pass by without staring at it several times. For people who are able to afford the item at that particular time, they will definitely make the purchase. Next time you see a pretty packaging remember that the manufacturer made calculated decision before arriving at that because he or she knew many potential customers will be impressed by such. Additionally, ensure you read all the ingredients which have gone into the making of the item. Many products have a long list and scientific names are used but don't let them scare you. You can check on the complicated components from the Internet to know whether you should give the product your time. There are manufacturers who will leave out specific items from the list. There are people who do not care about this but you should if your well-being is important to you.

Author: Ally Carter
Edition: Paperback
Published: October 2, 2007
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Pages: 236
Source: Bought from Fully Booked
Category: Chick Lit, Romance
Trailer: not applicable
Cammie Morgan is back, and it's clear that her life hasn't calmed down since the events of I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You. At first, giddy anticipation is in the air. Gallagher Academy, Cammie's elite spy school, is hosting a visit from a covert training center for boys. Soon after the boys' arrival, though, everything goes dangerously awry when a series of security breaches are discovered at the academy. Worse yet, teenage agent-in-training Cammie is being blamed for the penetration. With the school's top-secret status at risk, the Gallagher Girls have to work quickly to save their beloved school.
I will not make my introduction to this review longer because I've just reviewed book one the other say. And I will not make this review longer either.
So in this novel, Cammie and her friends just came back from a semester break and they were shocked to see that an entire wing of the school has been locked. Cammie's mother, the headmistress of the academy, was talking to Professor Solomon and Cammie overheard them. They wouldn't want her to know about something. Being the spy the she is, she tried to find out what was that all about and she found out about Blackthorne. During a practice mission, she met Zach. A handsome guy from the Blackthorne Institute.
As promised, this wouldn't be long and I don't think I would still read the third book. I was disappointed with this sequel. Why you ask. I just took down two major flops I found on the novel:
a.) How did Macey become a boy expert again? How young is she? How many boys did she date to be this good and can literally translate boy talk? I couldn't even do that in my age!
b.) The girls are FIFTEEN year olds, right? So, what? Do they just have to go and date one boy to the next? Like from Josh to Zach at that speed?
I said this on my other review that I am not looking at this novel morally or something. I just thought that the presentation of the girl's lovelife aren't really suited for the younger generation. (Just my opinion, okay?)
Why am I giving this two stars instead of one? I still love the ACADEMY.
"Because even though the truth can set you free, that doesn't mean it won't be painful."

A group of Iraq war veterans is launching a million-dollar effort to oppose President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, trying to counter the president's argument that those who are against the deal are in favor of war.
Obama has said recently that there are only two camps: those who support the deal versus those who would prefer a bloody and costly war like the conflict in Iraq. The new ad campaign complicates that, asserting that the deal itself will lead to more war. And the voices putting forth that case do not prefer war; they are soldiers who have had enough of it.
The group, Veterans Against the Deal, was founded last month as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, and it does not disclose its donors. Its national campaign starts today, including television ads in states whose members of Congress are undecided on the Iran deal. Lawmakers will vote on it in September.
The first of the group's videos features retired Staff Sgt. Robert Bartlett, who was badly injured by an Iranian bomb while serving in Iraq in 2005. "Every politician who is involved in this will be held accountable, they will have blood on their hands," he says in the ad. "A vote for this deal means more money for Iranian terrorism. What do you think they are going to do when they get more money?"
The first ad will go up in Montana, aimed at Democratic Sen. Jon Tester. Subsequent ads will air in North Dakota, West Virginia and elsewhere. The group will also send veterans to speak at events in key states.
"We are going to challenge those people who are on the fence," Executive Director Michael Pregent, a former senior adviser to Gen. David Petraeus who served in Iraq, told me. "Our main argument is that veterans know Iran better than Washington, D.C., does. You've got a lot of veterans out there who are pretty upset about this, so we are looking to capture their voices and make sure they are heard."
The campaign does not actually dwell on the nuclear issue, but on a more immediate threat: When Iran receives up to $100 billion of its frozen assets as part of sanctions relief, it could use that money to increase its nefarious activities all over the region. Top officials including Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have testified that Iran is likely to use at least some of this cash to fund violence in places like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon. According to Dempsey, Iran was directly responsible for the deaths of at least 500 American service members during the Iraq war.
The Obama administration has said that the nuclear deal is separate and distinct from Iran's regional mischief and officials are not counting on any positive change in Iran's behavior abroad — although Obama has said he hopes that Iran might moderate its behavior. The president has also said most of the money is likely to go toward fixing the Iranian economy.
At his speech at American University last week, the president said those opposed to Iran deal were the same people who supported going to war in Iraq in 2003 — implying that deal opponents are hoping for a similar approach to Iran. He also said Congressional opponents were making common cause with Iranian hardliners.
Pregent said his campaign will point out that U.S. soldiers who were victims of Iranian bombs aren't inclined to make common cause with Iranian hardliners. The group has recruited U.S. service members who were victims of the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut, when 241 U.S. troops were killed by Iranian-backed Hezbollah forces. Their efforts will also feature parents and children of service members who were killed in the war in Iraq.
"Do they fall into the category of those aligned with the hardliners in Iran," Pregent asked, "because they oppose this deal?"
Pregent told me that the group's donors include Democrats, Republicans and veterans who oppose the deal. The board of the group includes Pregent, retired Marine Corps Lt. Col. Brian Sanchez, retired Marine Corps Col. Stephen Robb, and Iraq war veteran Pete Hegseth, the chairman of the group Concerned Veterans for America. That group was financed by the Koch brothers' donor network.
"We don't want to make this a partisan issue," Pregent said. "We'll have Democratic vets who voted for Obama participating in this as well."
President Obama keeps trying to frame lawmakers' decision as war without the deal or peace with it. The new ads will make that harder to do, showing veterans who oppose the deal without supporting war — who in fact believe the deal will lead to more war, not less.

When a bad cold hits you with full force, it's no surprise my mind jumps to thoughts of warm soups and stews. Korean tofu stews always hit the spot and Chinese soup dumplings never fail, but there's something I love about Vietnamese pho that brings a touch of warmth to your soul. That's when I head to Cong Ly in Chinatown.
I have to admit, I'm totally addicted to their pho. Maybe it's the fresh, clean taste of the broth or the bright colors of the basil and green chiles that light up the table, but with every bite I get a small taste of Spring. The ridiculously cheap prices don't hurt either. Sometimes I get the grilled pork chop pho for a change, but my usual is the pho tai — "rice noodle beef soup with fresh eye of round." Throw in a side of spring rolls that you eat wrapped up in fresh lettuce and mint, and any blue thoughts I have just melt away!

windows 7 ultimate
windows 7 ultimate or windows 7 home premium
i have a computer coming with home premium but i am not sure weather i should up upgrade it to ultimate.
i already have the disc.
i don't need the extra programs (bit locker ect.)
|My System Specs

W7 Ultimate x64/W10 Pro x64 dual boot main build-remote pc W10 Pro x64 Insider Preview/W7 Pro x64
The Home Premium won't offer others as well like the XP Mode on Virtual PC and network as an option for storing any system images created of your main drive. Most advanced users would at least go with the Pro edition while you can also look over the comparisons between editions before deciding to replace the preinstall while under warranty. Compare Windows 7 Editions
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2010
Windows 10 Pro x64
If you already have an Ultimate disk (and a valid paid for license, right?) then why not go for it? Ultimate is "Home Premium Plus" or to put it another way, Home Premium is a stripped down version of Ultimate.
There is really no reason not to go ultimate if you have already paid for it. Even if you dont use the extra features they hardly take up any extra space on your HDD, so you wont even notice their there. Until you find a use for them later on of course In which case you will be glad you installed Ultimate.
*Disclaimer* I use Windows 7 Ultimate and may be biased but thats just my $0.02
|My System Specs
|08 Jul 2010
There is a reason to not use Ultimate on the factory-preinstalled Home Premium machine and that is you are throwing away a $100+ license while you do.
So unless you need the Ultimate features I would wait until you have a use for it, sell it or give it as a nice gift.
Of course, you can put Ultimate on the machine with the intention of retrieving it as soon as you have another use for it, reinstalling or reimaging the Home Premium to it's licensed place so you end up getting your money's worth.
I'm weird like this, needing to wring all the value out of tech. Sorry

I wouldn't be caught running anything less then the Ultimate edition here. But I am not planning on replacing any preinstallation for new premade system while under warranty either.
If I locate a micro atx AM2 board or go on to build a new mini tower for a family member that will however be seeing the Home Premium edition there since the retail disk has been waiting for something to install onto. That would be either salvaging parts off the old board since those are good or finding a new micro atx with USB 3.0 on it since some extra memory is already onhand for a new build.
|My System Specs

Windows 7 x64 pro/ Windows 7 x86 Pro/ XP SP3 x86
If you dont need features like XP mode, domain join, bitlocker, MUI language support and imaging to network, you're just fine with home premium. So, basically this edition is for the typical home user who has a standalone machine and just does stuff like word processing, writing mail and watching movies.
I have one machine with home premium and the only thing I miss on that, at times, is the Group Policy Editor. But since gpedit is just a front-end for the registry, its fine, I can tinker directly via regedit.
I would suggest that if your profile fits the above, stick to the home premium. Save the Ultimate for another computer. However, if you do decide to switch, please image your current install using an app like like Macrium Free before changing, that way you can revert to Home Premium without the bother of activation/ reactivation.

Pregnant Emily Blunt has hinted she's not yet ready to play Mary Poppins on the big screen.
The British actress recently emerged as the frontrunner for the revamp of the beloved 1964 musical, which is to be directed by Rob Marshall, but it appears she still hasn't signed on to tackle the role made famous by Julie Andrews.
The Sicario star, who is expecting her second child with husband John Krasinski, sat down with WENN to promote her latest film The Huntsman: Winter's War, and when the subject of Poppins came up, she made it clear it's not a done deal.
"It's a maybe on Mary Poppins," she said, but then added she can't believe her name is even being mentioned for the role, alongside the likes of Oscar winner Anne Hathaway.
She added, "I did not envision any of this. I feel like I entered the industry with a pretty casual expectation of what would happen. I didn't know what on earth I was walking into and maybe that helped. I wasn't even intending to be an actress!"
And Emily admits Dame Judi Dench has a lot to do with her success - because she was there at the beginning.
"I did a school play and an agent came to see me and in a year I'm on stage with Judi Dench, which was so extraordinary," the actress recalled. "She was so kind to me because I was so green and knew nothing. She really kind of paved the way for me on how to approach this industry; to walk into every room with great hope because you just never really know where it's gonna take you.
"I've learned to really embrace the unknown and trust my instincts with the choices that I make. There were movies I chose where no one else around me thought I should. I've always made choices based on what inspires me and not a strategic move that will take me somewhere else in the industry. So it's still a surreal place. You're breathing rarified air if you're able to work within this industry."

just another reminder to stop and appreciate the flowers.
{foodie friday : the teeniest strawberry}9 Jun
{portrait of an egg}17 May
farm fresh eggs are just so beautiful! and they are so much more nutrient-dense than store-bought eggs!
i hope to have backyard chickens one day in the near future!
i just love all the colours!
and the flavour can't be matched! farm fresh is the best!
i just love the variety… eat the rainbow!
{first asparagus of the season}9 Mar
fresh from the farmer's market! 🙂
looking at the different shapes of this asparagus, had me thinking similar to when i looked at all those cool seashells…
i love asparagus so much and i only eat it when it's in season.
did you know that asparagus is loaded with fiber and actually aids in cleansing our gut and also offers awesome detoxifying benefits? i think that's so cool, considering it is in season in spring and that is a perfect time to prep our bodies for cleansing and switching gears to lighter foods. furthermore, asparagus is a natural diuretic… which may be TMI, but hey, it's just a fact.
on a different note – i'm so ready for the time change and gaining more evening light! i am so super excited to start a garden this year!!
{farmers market turmeric root}6 Jan
have you ever seen turmeric root like this before?
i was fascinated when i spotted this at my local farmer's market. when i go to visit, there is one stand in particular that i like to frequent. the lady who owns it is so sweet and always has a ton of good information on her products and she is always willing to answer my and all of my questions. it seems that the prices for produce at farmers' markets are sometimes half the price of grocery stores or health food markets, which is just another reason why i love to support the farmers!!!
a few other reasons i choose to put my money into farmers markets are as follows : accessibility, freshness, availability, integrity, seasonality, friendliness, knowledge, willingness, and as i mentioned, affordability.
i had never seen turmeric root in this form, and i couldn't wait to pick some up to take fotos of. sometimes i've seen parts of it broken off into larger and smaller pieces, but not in a huge chunk like this. i have been wanting to incorporate turmeric into my diet more frequently, particularly because i have been experiencing some pain in my elbow lately. and as you may know, turmeric is known for having anti-inflammatory properties. i am hoping that by consuming turmeric regularly, the pain in my elbow will substantially subside.
i thought it would be fun to share these fotos of turmeric, since it is so intriguing to look at! check out all the 'knobs' and 'nodules' and the funny/fascinating shapes it takes on and how it forms that way. i love all root vegetables, and when i find something in its natural state, i get even more excited about it. did you catch that cool post about ginger-root? i just love going to the farmer's market and i one day hope to have a nice big garden in my backyard, as to grow lots of wonderful food. i basically want to be a farmer.
one of the things i've been doing with turmeric lately is making tea, which i am just loving! have you ever tried turmeric tea? i have been wanting to try it for so long now, but as with anything "new," i tend to get intimidated until i actually just go for it! and i'm so glad i finally did! i made some tea with this beautiful chunk of turmeric, and i loved it so much that i wanted to share the recipe.
you can usually find fresh turmeric at health food stores. or if you have access to one, check at your local farmers market, as well. some of my research has discovered that you can also use the ground spice to make turmeric tea, however i prefer the fresh stuff. it's definitely more time-consuming, but for me, it's so worth it. plus, i just love the creative process. having said that, to be even more economical, you could make it with a mix of fresh and dried root.
super simple health-boosting turmeric tea :
{farmers market ginger root}12 Dec
i love finding produce in its most natural state – like this cool ginger root with the actual root still attached. the shape looks like some kind of animal or something, no?! i found it at the farmer's market {of course} and i bought it mostly because it looked cool, but also because i just like to keep ginger around to nibble on. a lot of times i'll make it into a tea with some lemon or just shave off a little bit and eat it after meals to accompany the digestion process.
ginger nutritional fun facts :
ginger is great for stomach ailments such as nausea or diarrhea and can be great for helping keep motion sickness at bay. boiled as a tea, it has tremendous healing properties for common cold symptoms. ginger is also {surprisingly} high in b-vitamins. furthermore, ginger has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties, making it a fantastic support for healthy joints.
{what real strawberries look like}6 Dec
something i need to write about is how i spent my summer vacation… even though it's long passed now.
one of the things that took up the majority of my free time this summer was participating in a community garden. it was basically one of the best things i've ever done for myself. growing your own food is truly one of the most rewarding things one can do! i would constantly remark, "all i did was put a seed in the ground – and this happened!" because i was constantly blown away at how cool nature is! my cucumber plants literally took over and my neighbours were calling it "the cucumber farm" 😉
the reason i bring this up is because i inherited a small strawberry plant in my summer garden plot. many of my neighbours had strawberry plants and i was fortunate to have one reseed itself in my plot. i didn't get a lot of strawberries from it, but the few i did harvest looked like these strawberries. they were more cone-shaped than heart-shaped. and i'm telling you – the flavour in these things is just out of this world! SO sweet and SO juicy and SO delicious! better than any store-bought strawberry i've ever had!
do you ever compare conventional produce to farmer's market produce?! the differences kind of blow my mind! the last time i was at the grocery store looking at apples, they were bigger than a softball! that's just not normal. or fruit so waxy i could use it as a candle?! yikes.
for me, i like things to be as close to their natural state as possible. food, soil, water, me, and everything in between.
and that got me thinking about these strawberries i picked up at the farmer's market last week. i was looking at them and decided to snap a couple fotos because i was thinking to myself, "i bet there are lots of people out there who don't even know what REAL strawberries look like."
these strawberries were SO full of flavour, too! something else that lacks in conventional produce. maybe it's got something to do with mass producing them and lack of nutrient-rich soil.
anyway, i love that i can still find strawberries this time of year – as north carolina has a year-round farmer's market and excellent long growing season. i hope to find some more when i go back this week!

Customer Reviews
I was pretty impressed with the product overall. I think it is a great effect and some great gimmicks that allow us to kind of be creative in the way we use it. My only complaints are the audio on the video wasn't the best although that is not a huge issue, and that in the video he shows an extra volume bar gimmick, which I did not receive with mine. I'm not sure if that is something extra he had or if it was supposed to come with the product. Overall though a solid product!
When you buy Ripcord you are not just buying a trick. You are buying a product that has had multiple stages of development. It is not just a trick. You will see that by watching the trailer.
The gimmicks you receive are wonderfully made.
The only "problem" I had was the audio on the download. I don't think that is enough to knock off a star though.
If you are like me and love gimmicks, just buy the dang thing!
I honestly was expecting better. The gimmick is ok. The teaching was a little too brief and the names of the videos were misleading and confusing. For $40 you'd expect to get something better than this. The only part that is good is the earbud plug through dollar. I don't recommend buying this unless you have money to spare.

James Bridle: Computers and Cultural Memories
Publisher and technologist James Bridle asks how computer networks will affect cultural memories. In this Four Thought, James brings his two lives together to look for the crossing points between books and technology.
How will storing our memories and experiences on 'the network' change how we relate to them? They are no longer spread through time and geography, and instead much more visible to us, but what does that mean?
When we have read a book, the book remains as a souvenir of the experience, but we do not yet have a similar way of accounting for the time we spend online.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
