i checked my front tires today, and the inside of both is worn to the metal. the car is off the road until i get new rubber up front (and probably all around).
From what i understand, this is caused by excessive negative camber. how much does an alignment job cost? also, could this be caused by bad ball joints, shocks, or springs?

As you may know from reading this blog, one of my favorite charities is Help A Mother Out. Their work is very straightforward: get diapers and wipes to families who desperately need them. It's that simple.
HAMO is now working to get signatures for The Diaper Act to pass through Congress. Here are more details about the act from HAMO's website:
Today is the day to make a difference with families who cannot access childcare due to lack of diapers.
Please sign this petition to Members of Congress (House of Representatives and Senators) and ask them to join Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT) and co-sponsor the "Diaper Investment and Aid to Promote Economic Recovery ("DIAPER") Act."
If you can't see the "Sign the petition" widget in this blog post please CLICK HERE to go to HAMO's website to sign the petition. Thanks!
Purpose of the legislation: To increase access to child care and relieve economic strain on families who cannot otherwise afford sufficient diapers for their children by amending the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990 to provide diapers and diapering supplies to families in need through child care providers. There is no increase in appropriation (i.e., no ask for additional federal funds) required for this legislation. Scroll down to bottom of page for detailed documentation.

I over scheduled myself these last two weeks. They were all good things, doctors appointments, lunches and coffees and dinners with friends, exercising, and cleaning cleaning cleaning. As Monday is the Chinese New Year (or CNY as a friend from Beijing says), I will continue the cleaning today and over the weekend. I do have a few hours of paying work to do this morning first, so I'll get that out of the way as quick as possible.

I read this on California Faultline:
Nancy Pelosi says she wants an aggressive energy policy to help save the planet, but a Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota says the world doesn't need saving - Jesus already did it 2000 years ago!
"[Pelosi] is committed to her global warming fanaticism to the point where she has said that she's just trying to save the planet," (Rep. Michele) Bachmann said. "We all know that someone did that over 2,000 years ago, they saved the planet — we didn't need Nancy Pelosi to do that."
So there. The planets been saved. The work's been done. That's not smog over L.A. - just mist. Nothing to see here. Move along. [via Star Tribune]

RALEIGH, N.C. >> Virginia has climbed to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for the first time in more than 35 years.
The Cavaliers earned 30 of 65 first-place votes in Monday's latest poll to outdistance No. 2 Michigan State. Virginia had suffered an overtime home loss Saturday to Virginia Tech, part of an upset-filled week that saw the top three teams lose.
But Tony Bennett's Cavaliers rose above the turmoil at the top, climbing a slot to No. 1 for the first time since December 1982 — the senior season of 7-foot-4 great Ralph Sampson.
The Spartans climbed two slots after their win against Purdue, while last week's No. 1 Villanova fell to third after a home loss to St. John's.
Xavier and Cincinnati rounded out the top five.

text: Heated floors are a luxury that I have always wanted in my home. I have lived in apartments and rental homes my entire life up until two years ago when I bought my first house. When I first met with the realtor, I told her that I hoped to find a place that already had heated floors installed, but she was not able to locate any that also fit my price range and location needs. For the past two years, I have been saving to have the renovation done, and I think that I'm finally ready to have it done. When I called my HVAC company to schedule a visit, they told me about all of the benefits that heated floors would bring. They said that my house would be more evenly heated. I would no longer have to worry about some rooms or areas being more comfortable than others. They also said that there would be much less dust and dirt circulating through my house. The ductwork in traditional HVAC systems can harbor a lot of filth. This would be good news for my allergy issues. That's a benefit I wasn't even aware of. On top of those things, I also wouldn't have to deal with the noise that most HVAC systems make. Heated floors are nearly silent, so that would mean all around better sleep for me. After hearing about all of these benefits, I was even more sold on the idea than before. Heated floors are going to make me enjoy my home more than I already do.

Intro to Boyle's Law
Pressure Volume Relationships
We are used to living at 1 ATM of pressure, so we rarely even take notice of it. We normally
don't feel the pressure on us because the human body is primarily made up of liquid, and liquids
are basically non compressible. At times, however, we do notice changes of pressure, primarily in
our ears. You may have noticed your ears "popping" when flying, driving in the mountains, or
even going up and down in elevators. This is because our ears have an air space in them, and air,
like all other gases, is compressible.
A gas will compress proportionately to the amount of pressure exerted on it. For example, if you
have a 1 cubic foot balloon and double the pressure on it, it will be compressed to 1/2 cubic foot.
Increase the pressure by 4, and the volume will drop to 1/4 the size etc. This theory was
discovered by Sir Robert Boyle, a 17th century scientist. The theory known as Boyle's Law
states: If the temperature remains constant, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely
proportional to the absolute pressure.
Let's follow an example...
Suppose you had a balloon measuring one cubic foot at the surface of the water. This balloon is
under 1 ATM (14.7 psi) of pressure. If we push the balloon underwater, and take it to a depth of
33 feet, it is now under 2 ATM of pressure (29.4 lbs) - 1 ATM of pressure from the air, 1 ATM
of pressure from the water. Boyle's Law then tells us that since we have twice the absolute
pressure, the volume of the balloon will be decreased to one half. It follows then, that taking the
balloon to 66 feet, the pressure would compress the balloon to one third its original size, 99 feet
would make it 1/4 etc.
If we bring the balloon in the previous example back up to the surface, it would increase in size
due to the lessening pressure until it reached the surface and returned to its one cubic foot size.
This is because the air in the balloon is compressed from the pressure when submerged, but
returns to its normal size and pressure when it returns to the surface.
We will achieve the same result with an open container, such as an inverted bottle, as we do with
a balloon. By inverting a bottle at the surface and descending with it, the pressure from the
surrounding water will compress the air and the bottle will start to fill with water. Even with no
air escaping, the container will be half full of water at a depth of 33 feet due to the pressure
compressing the air to half its original volume.
Along with the volume of air in the balloon or container, the surrounding pressure will affect the
density of the air as well. Density, simply stated, is how close the air molecules are packed
together. The air in the balloon or container at the surface is at its standard density, but when we
descend to the 33-foot level where its volume is reduced to one half, the density has doubled. At
66 feet, the density has tripled. This is because the pressure has pushed the air molecules closer
Let's continue with this line of thinking and try an additional experiment. If we take our balloon
and our open container down to 99 feet, we know that the density of air is four times what is was
on the surface and the volume of air has been reduced to 1/4. Now at this depth, suppose we
used a scuba tank and added air to the balloon until it returned to its original size. We will also
blow air into the inverted container until it is completely full of air.
We know the air at this depth is 4 times denser than at the surface. This means when we ascend
with our balloon and container, the lessening pressure will make the air expand. This will have
two different effects. The balloon will increase in size. It will attempt to grow to a size of 4 cubic
feet by the time it hits the surface. If this is beyond the capability of the balloon, it will pop. The
inverted container, however, will simply "bleed off" the expanding air that will harmlessly float
away as bubbles.
The main purpose of the proceeding material was to give you the theory behind the most
important rule in scuba diving... "Never hold your breath!" Your lungs can act very much like a
pair of balloons in your chest. As a breath hold diver (skin diver), if you fill your lungs with air at
the surface, hold your breath, and dive to a depth of 33 feet, the surrounding pressure will
compress your lungs to half of their original size. Upon ascending, they will return to normal size.
If however, you descend to 33 feet and breath compressed air from a scuba tank, an ascent to the
surface could cause you lungs to over expand and you could seriously injure yourself.
This is easy to avoid, however, by simply not holding your breath which will let your lungs act
like the open container in the preceding example, and you will simply "bleed off" the expanding air
and maintain a normal lung capacity.
Advanced Boyle's Law To continue with your gas theory knowledge.

How lighting can affect your mood
On a bright and sunny day, do you feel noticeably cheery? Does your energy tend to plummet on dark days? If you said yes, you are not alone. Researchers have long suggested that lighting plays a key factor in determining our mood. And some studies suggest women are more sensitive to light than men.
"It's amazing that lighting can affect one's mood, but it really can," says Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., NIMH researcher and author of Transcendence: Healing And Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation (Tarcher Penguin June 2011). "That's why people get special lighting experts to create an atmosphere in a restaurant or on the stage in the theater."
Dr. Rosenthal says lighting can alter our brain chemistry, leading to mood shifts. "One of the best studied aspects of the effects on light on mood is related to the total amount of daylight present. Some people are exquisitely sensitive to this, and on dark days -- especially during the winter -- their mood plummets. The best explanation for this is that levels of the soothing brain chemical serotonin are at their lowest on dark days. Giving people extra light on these days is thought to boost their brain serotonin levels and restore their good humor," says Dr. Rosenthal.
Seasonal Anxiety Disorder
In some cases, increased sensitivity to light and seasonal changes can bring on severe depression and anxiety. Seasonal Anxiety Disorder is most common during winter months, but symptoms can linger all year long. Dr. Rosenthal says light therapy may provide some relief for those who suffer with this disorder. "One theory suggests that light therapy (which is usually most effective when given in the morning) shifts biological rhythms in a helpful way. Finally, light may work by suppressing the secretion of yet another substance -- in this case, the hormone melatonin -- which is known to be important for choreographing responses to the seasons in many different kinds of animals," says Dr. Rosenthal.
Lighten Your Mood
Luckily, there are lots of ways people can help improve their mood. Try these:
- Get outdoors
- Light therapy
- Brighten up home lighting & decor
- Take Vitamin D
- Install a dawn simulator

I am going to my dr soon but want your expertise as well. I very much need help with my extreme pms, which I'm pretty sure is pmdd. I have read many articles about pmdd and it describes me to the t. I would like to keep taking my klonopin since I believe it does help lessen my anxiety levels, but am wondering if the birth control pill Seasonale can and/or will help with my pmdd, since you don't have periods with this med. I have been checking many, many drug interactions and haven't found a combination of drugs that will possibly help with the pmdd that are affordable for me, as I cannot afford newer drugs. Even with my insurance! My main question is, though: What do you think of Seasonale (not sure if the spelling is correct) for treating my pmdd? My pms is out of control and I have suffered many years with this and cannot do it any longer. I also have anxiety and depression in general as well, but I absolutely dread my extreme emotional roller coaster every few weeks and am really starting to lose hope. (I also am planning to see a psychotherapist and have made an appt.)
Can Seasonale birth control help PMDD?

Responses (1)
You should be seeing a gynecologist about it. If so he will know what to do. However birth control pills are used for it and seasonique might be a very good answer for you.

Washington, D.C. could record fewer than 200 homicides in 2004, reports the Washington Post. That would be a significant drop from last year and a mark not reached for nearly two decades. Through the first six months of the year, D.C. recorded 91 killings, down about 25 percent from the same period in 2003. At the current rate, the city will end the year with about 180 homicides. The last time Washington recorded fewer than 200 killings was in 1986, when it tallied 196. That was before the spread of crack cocaine and firearms fueled a homicide surge that had the city dubbed the nation's "murder capital." In 1991, the city had 482 killings.
Homicides and other crimes have fallen steeply across the nation since the early 1990s, when drug gangs were gripped in fierce battles over turf. "We have not seen a drug reappear with the violence associated with its buying and selling on the streets like we saw in the late 1980s and early 1990s with crack cocaine," said criminologist Richard Rosenfeld of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Rosenfeld and other specialists also attributed the drop in crime to higher incarceration rates — nearly 2.1 million people are being held in prison — and an improving economy during the mid- to late 1990s. When the economy slumped in recent years, some jurisdictions experienced an increase or stabilization in homicide rates.

Gynecomastia and Excess Skin
Excess skin must be considered when planning chest sculpture in men. An enlarged male breast is not just the gland and fat. The skin envelope can also be part of the problem. For small breast enlargement and reasonable skin tone, this is rarely an issue. Normal skin does contract up to a point and for an average gynecomastia breast reduction, minimal access points are needed.
However, large male breasts do have excess skin that will just not shrink enough. This means there is a trade off between possible loose skin after surgery and the scars of skin sculpture. To remove the excess, there needs to be an exit point and scar. Skin removal plans are limited by the need to keep remaining structures alive with an adequate blood supply. Folding the dermis (tissue just under the outer skin) is a common technique in breast surgery designs. This need may result in folded blood supplying structures under the skin that may add bulk and must be part of the three dimensional sculpture plan.
There are many different surgical options. Most follow the general patterns found in mastopexy breast lift surgery. When there is minimal excess, we try to hide the scars at the interface between the areola and normal chest skin.
- Dr. Bermant's Short Scar Internal Male Mastopexy
- Incisions around the areola
- Extension of the incisions down the chest in a short scar type pattern
- Full anchor type incisions
- Transverse chest incisions

Larger skin excess just can't be handled well with the donut technique.There are many variations possible for the short scar technique lax skin sculpture reduction. This is a Regnault Type B pattern that results in a vertical component and extending towards the sides of the chest. It can manage much more redundant skin than the donut technique but not as much as the full anchor. The advantage is that the scars in the center of the chest are avoided.
Double Scar Skin Reduction Chest Lift combines a scar around the areola with another at the lower edge of the pectoral muscles.
The problem is that any extended scars are a compromise on the exposed male chest.

Surgical sculpture on an unoperated chest are easier than after another doctor's surgery.
A full anchor scar technique permits the removal of even more loose skin of the male chest than one of the short scar methods. Incisions extend both towards the central chest and to the sides.
It is a matter of degrees: how bad is the problem and are the scars worth the solution?
For some, the scars are no major issue. Massive hanging skin draping in a fold just looks much worse than contour reduction scars. For a male losing a large D cup size breast, scars around the areola extending as in the various mastopexy lift contour operations, are also an easy tradeoff. For problems less extensive, will the scars be acceptable? That is really hard to predict.
This is a problem that just needs to be evaluated during an examination. Standard Male Chest Lift Photographs can be a starting point, but the in office evaluation is best for examining elasticity, skin tension, and laxity. There is much to learn about this problem. If you are interested in learning more, call our office during regular office hours for an appointment. After an examination and evaluation Dr. Bermant will be better able to help you explore your options.

It's a great feeling to know that despite stopping my PT training, I have not gone off track. Well I did, for a couple of weeks (I was also sick) and am now back into it. I think for me it is all about routine. And deceiving myself into thinking I have 'options'. I eat porridge for breakfast every day, it took me a while to get into the habit, but now that it's ingrained I no longer have to think about what I'm going to have in the morning and thus open myself up to all the bad choices I could make. However I do allow myself to occasionally have a bacon and egg sandwich from my fav café every once in a while. This way I feel like I can still have my bad foods- but the difference is that it is quality bad food. Not a Macca's breakfast but a gourmet sandwich. So I feel like I am indulging and it makes it worth it. But it also a little out of the way, so it has to be worth it going there and not just driving on auto pilot to work every day.
Anyways, I do similar 'tricks' for the rest of my meals. So that I feel like I can have variety if I really want it and it won't derail me.
Now that I have stopped my PT though, I woke up one morning in a panic worrying that I couldn't fit into my pants anymore because I had gained weight. I was scared that I was slipping. And that's when I knew I could not let that happen. So right now I am concentrating on sleeping properly- a big one for me as I make bad choices when tired- and getting into an exercise routine. For me I need to make a choice and stick with it and eventually it just becomes ingrained. The key is to realise that you do have enough time to do something, you just have to realise your priorities. TV and reading when I get home, are not a priority. Exercise is, then getting ready for the next day, then I can chill out. And feel good about it too. Not feel guilty and look out the window or look at my gut and think I should have done something.. but I didn't. I don't want those feelings anymore, so I'm working hard to make sure they don't happen.
So far so good. It's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't skipped a day of walking. I've even started extending the walks, going up hills, or jogging for parts of it, so that it is more of a work out and to increase the variety. Needless to say my dog is very happy, he is loving all the exploring we are doing.
Today is the test though. It is cold and wet outside. So far I feel like I am capable of going for a walk in the rain, I'll just make sure I am rugged up. But when I get home tired and cold, will I feel the same way? Probably. But you know what? I'm going to go anyway. Because sometimes a little bit of hardwork goes a long way, and in this case I need to keep moving forward not backwards!
I have not lost more weight, but I haven't gained anything substantially either. I feel that if I keep in this direction I will be ok. I will just keep adding things into my workouts to keep me going until I reach the right point for weight loss. And really, I'm happier right now. I feel like a weight has shifted in my mind about my body, about how to look after it and exercise in general. I feel like if I was just a bit more toned (who doesn't want to be toned??) then I would be happy with my size. Because I am happy and I am healthy, and isn't that the main thing??

Article Title
1. Landscape
At five to nine we take the metal grilles off the window-frames. When we lift, our arm muscles tense to the size of garlic cloves. We already have crumbs in our hair. Clouds reflect on the spilled liquid on the table. A baby throws chewed raisins on the floor. Children thumb grease onto the cake cabinet. The music changes; the CD skips; it's changed back. The roots of our hair grow in the same color as coffee grounds.

Parkwood Entertainment, Tidal
Founder / Partner
Beyoncé has become one of the most potent powerhouses in the music industry by marrying her talents as an entertainer with an almost unmatched ability to shape the cultural conversation. She can make the earth stand still with a surprise album drop or politically charged call to arms.
The Queen Bey is arguably the most disruptive force in music today, as she showed in 2016 with the stealth release of her video album "Lemonade," a powerful rumination on womanhood, infidelity and black culture that instantly became the year's most talked-about music event. By successfully reinventing her carefully calibrated image with an album that doubled as a ringing affirmation of feminism and black identity, Beyoncé proved herself to be a musician and mogul who can do no wrong.
Born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, the Houston native launched into stardom as a teenager with Destiny's Child, the R&B group that would become one of the best-selling female groups of all time. Her 2003 solo debut, "Dangerously in Love," sold five million albums and earned five of her 22 career Grammy Awards. Her six studio albums have all achieved platinum status and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. She is married to the rapper Jay Z.

What To Look For In A Perfect Miter Saw
No matter the type of miter saw you want to buy, there are certain features that it should have. In this post, we look at some useful and common features a perfect miter saw should have.
Buying a miter saw
Laser guide system
Although it is not a must-have feature, a laser guide system is quite useful. This is because it makes the process of use very easy. Also, you can make precise cuts. However, there are some systems that are not effective. Thus, you need to check the system your miter saw has before buying. Ensure you read several miter saw reviews and pay attention to what experts say.
Dust collection system
The majority of miter saws just have a dust bag as their dust collection system. Unfortunately, a dust bag is not effective. Fortunately, there are precise miter saws that have an effective dust collection system. Reading product reviews can help you determine whether the dust system a particular miter saw has is effective or not. A good system can help maintain your work area clean and even increase the lifespan of your saw. This is possible by preventing dust from entering your machine.
Type of motor
Ensure the miter saw you purchase has adequate power to carry out different cutting jobs. Thus, it should have an average of 16 amps of power. It is not a must to have a super powerful motor. However, if you use it on a routine basis, you will need to select the miter saw that meets your needs. Also, you need to consider its maximum rpm the motor provides. This is because it will affect the smoothness of the cuts the saw makes. It is advisable to choose a motor with an innovative start technology.
The blade
The majority of miter saws come with standard blades, which are ideal for rough cuts. These blades are not appropriate for fine woodworking. For fine finishing, be ready to buy extra quality blades. If you may need to change the blades on a regular basis or you are carrying out different jobs, then you should consider how easy it is to change the blades.
You should note that a miter saw is quite a dangerous tool ever to operate. Thus, you should consider one with several safety features. Have a look at miter saws that have top safety features such as fence guards and electric brakes.

Running! Still a lot on the treadmill, but I got outside for 2 good runs in the last few weeks. Last weekend I got in 8 miles at my old favorite waterfront route and today 4.5 with my husband (!!) as we ran to get burgers and bus it back home. I think a lot of my lack of outside motivation, including the darkness and weather, has been boredom with my location. I'm really into the idea of running to a destination, run commuting, or trail running. I think my desire for hitting a certain pace is the furthest thing from my mind when running in those kinds of situations and that makes me happy.
I need some recommendations for a good running backpack and a good running rain jacket and hat or hood combo. I think if I could envision a warm and more dry run than I am lately I'd be more like to get out when the weather sucks. Also, I should probably keep my eyes peeled for my next pair of running shoes. I've got about 300+ on both pairs I'm rotating right now, the end is near.
Today is a pretty shitty day but tomorrow I am expecting it to turn around a bit. I hope you are marching and I hope you are taking care of yourself and people around you. I hope we are all paying more attention to what is going on in the world. Be kind. Be patient. Be active. According to my stats, I have had 0 visits so I really think this is an effective way to get my message out. I guess I like knowing that I am hopefully one less troll out there.

Morgan has unveiled a Cosworth-engined Plus 4 model, fettled by AR Motorsport
To celebrate 65 years of the Morgan Plus 4, the Malvern-based sportscar manufacturer has given the four-cylinder model a makeover, with help from the in-house tuning company AR Motorsport.
Powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder Ford engine, tuned to produce 225bhp by Cosworth, the AR Plus 4 has been given all-new adjustable suspension (set-up from the factory by AR motorsport), bigger brakes, revised chassis and a different axle ratio. More aluminium is used throughout the car, which is left unpainted in a few places to add to the aesthetic charm.
Take a look through our classified ads for Morgan Plus 4s for sale
More obvious are the external modifications, which include LED front and rear lights and matt black Image lightweight alloy wheels, with sticky Yokohama AD08R tyres. Look a little closer though, and you will also spot a much more lavish interior, and quite a lot of extra soundproofing – specifically in the hood – which is said to significantly improve the car's refinement.
Production is limited to just 50 units, each of which will be custom tuned by AR Motorsport. Prices start at £54,995, with a few options available.

Montessori teachers at WLS are certified in Montessori Method, with both the main training schools represented: Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), and American Montessori Society (AMS). Philosophy and practice are highly integrated in Montessori training, and every Montessori teacher must make a sincere commitment to the philosophy, to the child, and to self-preparation. All teachers in a public school such as ours must meet or be working toward the general state licensing requirements for teaching as well. There are situations when teachers are in training, either for Montessori certification or for licensure. Each teacher in training works closely with the Director on his or her timeline for completion of training or licensure.

Hi, my name is Stephan. I am 30 years old, and I live in Cologne, Germany. In my bachelor studies of media technology in Düsseldorf I had the chance to try out many technical areas (e.g. creating of electronic boards, professional music- and video-production, programming of computer games, virtual and augmented reality and even more). I will dig out some of the most exciting projects and present them here on my blog. After my bachelor studies, I went back to my city of birth, Cologne.
My master's degree of media technology was more about software engineering, and I learned a lot about data processing, software architectures and so on. During my studies, I have worked as an Android Developer for a small agency for digital cultural communication, and I was responsible for the technical development of Android apps for several cultural institutions – that was fun. Unfortunately, I had to leave the company for my master thesis, which I wrote at the consultancy viadee. My thesis was about the evaluation of application scenarios and risk analysis for the use of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons within companies. The whole project was excellent from the start to the end. One of the highlights was presenting my master thesis at the viadee Innovation days 2015 in front all the great senior consultants. Maybe you can spot me in the official video 🙂
However, I have always occupied myself with software engineering. Programming and scripting already fascinated me when I was as a teenager, so this is a fixed constant in my life. After my Masters Degree in May 2015, I decided to go into the network technology business, because I wanted to work more with hardware and I got a job as a System Engineer / Young Professional at Xantaro. The networking industry is changing dramatically as software is becoming more and more important.
I finished the Juniper JNCIP-SP certification in August 2016 and after almost two years experience although in giving technical assistance I built a strong basic knowledge of network technology, especially IP/MPLS. Within 2016 I have set my focus more and more on network related software/automation engineering – e.g. Ansible, SaltStack, Docker and so on.
I will blog about stuff related to Juniper networks, software-defined networking, network automation and network function virtualization – buzzword alarm 🙂 Probably also about some other individual topics. Thanks for your attention and for visiting my blog.

Is it still true? In theory, doing SSL encryption in native code should be faster than Java. However, I haven't done any performance tests (Peter Lin, where are you?), and it won't really matter much unless you're driving your CPUs flat out. The JVM byte code translators of today are significantly better than just a year ago, so the difference between Java and native code performance continues to diminish. With the 5.5.12 and above levels, you now have the option of using APR, including its SSL engine, for Tomcat connectors. This is the same SSL used by Apache httpd, so that should eliminate any performance distinction. Configuring SSL on APR appears to require some care, judging from the recent threads on the subject. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Cascades for your business
You're a broker. You have clients approaching retirement. They want to know the most tax efficient way to draw down their retirement income, and in which order.
You probably already do this, using an assortment of tools, online tax calculators, tax code booklets, Excel* to store the data, and Word to type up each unique client report.
It works OK, your clients seem happy, so why should your business invest in a Cascades subscription?
For three very sound economic reasons:
- Accuracy
- Time
- Flexibility
1. Accuracy
Calculating the optimum draw down income from various savings sources involves multiple calculations, including rates of return, tax limits, pension allowances, etc. Cascades always contains the most up to date information on all the relevant rates applicable. Most calculators work on average figures for returns, but Cascades uses real figures, creating more informed results. In short, Cascades gives you more accurate mathematically correct results every time you use it.
2. Time
Calculating retirement income figures for clients using multiple tools is costing you a fortune in your most precious commodity of all - time. Once you've entered the important financial information from each client into Cascades, the job is practically done. With Cascades, the time involved in the actual calculations is usually less than 60 seconds, and once data is returned, your reports will be ready too.
3. Flexibility
Cascades is not only fast, it is also flexible. If a client's circumstances change, or they wish to see how different options would pan out over a given time period, Cascades can recalculate and create a new report in less than a minute of data being sent. Equally, if tax rates, interest rates or other factors change, our team will update the master Cascades server to accommodate the new information.
All for just $85 a month**. That's it, no upgrade costs, no new software*, no extra security requirements. Just more accurate, timely and efficient results for you and your client, for less than the cost of a single ticket to the Toronto Maple Leafs play at Air Canada Centre***.
Cascades. A new framework for retirement income and estate planning
* Cascades requires Excel versions Office 2010+ for Windows.
** Our introductory subscription price is currently $85/month + Ontario HST (13%)
*** Based on Section 106 Row 23 Standard Ticket at $99 for game on Sunday 2 October 2016 at the Air Canada Centre Toronto, as sold on Ticketmaster.

To-Do lists are great tools for productivity, but only looking at what you have to do can increase stress or anxiety and cloud creative thought.
The solution? Keep a done list to log what you've accomplished!
It's interesting to note that according to research, having a sense of making progress with work that matters to us is the most influential factor in maximizing long-term creative output, positive emotions, and motivation. The problem is, for some of us, focusing on what's next (for example: our to-do lists) means we skate right past our wins, no matter how big or small they are. How do we train ourselves, over time, to notice progress? We already keep a to-do list. Why not add a done list?
A done list is a log of the tasks you've completed. Keeping a done list has the power to fortify your motivation, and heighten positive emotions like joy and pride. When we reflect on progress, we practically metabolize it. Jot down completed tasks, and view them as "wins," or progress towards your final goal(s), and you can externalize and recognize them."
Keeping a done list in addition to your to-do list is a quick and simple way to increase success and well-being. How do you create these lists in a way that fits your needs? Here are some approaches to try:
- Every Friday, set aside 10 minutes to jot down your wins for the week.
- Keep a done list for each project you work on.
- Encourage any teams you manage or work with to periodically discuss progress.
The done list means that we can create motivation no matter where we find ourselves or what's happening around us.
We got this from the Evernote Blog, check them out for more!

The Korsteel Solid Rubber Mouth Loose Ring Snaffle is a great option for those horses that prefer no metal in their mouth! This straight bit has some flexibility and softness through the mouthpiece, with no metal at all! Rubber is soft and spongy in the horse's mouth, provided it fits nicely on the bars and over the tongue of the horse. Consideration should be taken of the height of the horse's...

Corrupting Warriors and Dark Harpies from Avatars of War
August 27, 2012 by brennon
We knew the Dwarves were coming from Avatars of War, but what about the other factions? Well here is a sneak peek at some other models making their way into the world of Warthrone...
Above are the newest addition to the Apocalypse side, the Corrupters and some rather fuzzy looking Harpies. The Corrupters are obviously a great fit for those Nurgle themed armies, and I quite like the design. They look like they will be a lot easier to rank up than the previous Apocalypse warriors!
It's harder to tell with the Harpies but I'm sure we will see some painted versions soon!
Are you looking forwards to the Apocalypse?

The best calendar apps for iPhone and iPad
Anyone who enjoys the sleek stylings of Any.DO's task management will love Cal's (free, iPhone only) simple, breezy take on day planning. With a slick, speedy interface that puts a heavy focus on the people in your life, Cal turns calendar keeping from a chore into a downright pleasure.
If Cal isn't minimal enough, Peek ($3, iPhone only) ditches the calendar format altogether. Clean and hyper-focused to the point where it barely looks like a calendar at all, Peek turns the traditional square grid on its head with a gesture-driven interface that will change the way you schedule and view your events.
WidgetCal is a must if you send a lot of time in your lock screen's Notification Center.
If your life revolves around your calendar, 24me (free) wants to be at the center of it. More than a calendar, 24me keeps tabs on all of the things you need to remember—dates, to-dos, lists, notes and even bills—with a neat interface and a keen eye for organization. Like a personal assistant, 24me gets smarter as you use it and makes sure you never forget or blow off an important event.
Several of the calendars here offer widget companions to their main calendar, but WidgetCal (free) is devoted to it—and it shows. With a bright, colorful design and a surprising amount of customization, WidgetCal puts a complete picture of your life right in the Notification Center. And if it didn't have to rely on Awesome Calendar for inputting events, it would actually be powerful and flexible enough to be your main calendar.
That's not to say being forced to use Awesome Calendar ($7) is a bad thing. Packed with loads of features, including to-dos, checklists, notes, and photos, the all-in-one scheduling app overcomes its somewhat stale interface by handling your tasks and events with swift precision.

Hello Everyone! The one thing that I seriously love during the summer is not only how lazy I can be, the time I can invest and spend with you guys but also the dresses, and finding one that I can comfortably spend my time in, the majority of the summer. Last year it was my Calvin Klein dress that you can see here, and honestly I am still obsessed with that dress. But thankfully the level of obsession I have with it is at a lovely and healthy way and I don't breathe and sleep that dress. But anyway recently I digged up this really cute dress that was actually a gift to me from one of my Aunts!
This dress I have had for a while but I wasn't able to fit it nicely and after I put it on I feel like it fits me perfectly and seriously compliments my skin tone. This dress gives me a very cute 60's vibe because of the way it fans out and at the bottom it is actually pretty thick and full of such beautiful patterns and texture. Honestly I just love it so much! The back is out but not enough to show my rolls so it's not a negative thing, and because its thicker at the bottom it's no where near constrictive and annoying
Honestly for the rest of my summer I'm going to try to see the different ways I can style it with rather that be with makeup, hairstyles and whether I can incorrupt this into my winter/fall wardrobe, but that is something that I feel would be really tricky. I seriously love how the orange looks with this matte lipstick that I have on from Anastasia though and definitely think it adds to the dress and compliments it, what do you guys think?
But overall this is the perfect summer dress because it is light and bright and brings something new to the table instead of the typical summer dress and is defiantly an extend from last years that you can check out here. I seriously hope you guys liked this blog post and please don't forget to subscribe to my blog via email because I am self hosted and I would love for you guys to not miss an update, see you tomorrow!

The only proble I've ever had with 3D animations is it seeming slow at times, which seemed to happen in some parts. Other wise, I thought this was great!
The only proble I've ever had with 3D animations is it seeming slow at times, which seemed to happen in some parts. Other wise, I thought this was great!
Great work. Really good quality animation. I do have a problem with the story though.
It just doesn't make sense to me how the characters develop...And, well, I just don't like the ending. It seems like it's just trying too hard to be cute without worrying about making sense.
Honestly though, the animation is great. The characters did seem like they were moving a little slow at times, but the visuals were done very well.
Amazing work, the animation was smooth as silk, I am also impressed to how you managed to the brillant storyline in 4 minutes.
Overall: 5/5
First, my thoughts on the Newgrounds community.
I've been on and off of this site since 03 and never have I seen an animation this great before. Yes, there are many great animations on Newgrounds, but this one, in terms of production, absolutely blew me away. I'm irritated that a few users have the balls to rank this low just because the characters are furries, which is insulting to the creativity of the piece and more importantly to the community. This animation literally is so good, it doesn't belong on Newgrounds. Maybe, just maybe, to appease our fellow Newgrounders, we should sacrifice creativity and skill in favor of more appealing styles sucks as stick people, parodies, and nudity. I feel ashamed for Newgrounds for having such users and I feel sorry that they can't respect this piece more.
With that said, to my review of the animations.
Brilliant. I can't imagine a greater 3d animation in a long time on Newgrounds. There was a Battle Royal kind of 3D animation a while ago, but the shading was horrible and the frame-rate was terrible. The textures, the colors, the layers, and so much more in this were just amazing. I could go on an on. Personally, I'm not a big fan of furries, but damn if you didn't make me like them here. What I'm more impressed with, was just how detailed the subway itself was. It would have been cool to hear actual voices, but that would have just made the file too big I'm guessing. Great work. I hope to see more. Thank you for bringing this to Newgrounds.
Great, this was very touching and the animation was beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I would love to see more of it. Thanks for the awesome vid.

Quantum Rush hits Alpha landmark
Reviving a game genre isn't an easy thing. Since the mid 1990's; when titles like Wipeout and F-Zero X ruled the roost, there hasn't really been a futuristic, anti-gravity battle-racer that has truly taken off. Wipeout and F-Zero X, for all intents and purposes, were perfect; combining both a demanding skill-level and enjoyable, rewarding gameplay. Although both of these games were huge successes, nothing ever came along to fill their shoes. As games have advanced, nobody has worked out how to bring these futuristic shooters forwards (or...backwards?) into the 21st century.
GameArt Studio believe they have the answer, and hope to take the classic battle-racer setup, and tie it up with elements from the competitive MMO community, to create a next-generation adaptation of an old, gaming classic.
"You'll be competing online against thousand of other players for the glory of poll position"
Quantum Rush appears to be a cross between an online racer and an MMOFPS; where the racetrack is your arena. A host of racer and weapon customizations await you, and can be unleashed in a variety of gleaming, futuristic settings.
After an unfortunately unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign, the gang at GameArt returned to the studio, undeterred, and have came back to proudly announce that a Quantum Rush alpha has launched. Earlier in the month, Quantum Rush experimented with a live online racing event, and the developers have since perfected some of the social tools; such as racer trading, matchmaking and friends listing. They are now alpha-testing the new systems as hard as possible, with an eye, already, on the beta launch.
They are currently working on graphics and sound enhancements, along with a patch update launcher in preparation, and it sounds like the closed beta is well under way.
If you'd like to keep an eye on their development process, be sure to visit quantum-rush.net and check out their blog.
