I had a problem at a gas station overcharging me when I used my card. American Express fixed the problem quickly credited my account correctly and were very nice over the phone. Plus all I had to do is call one number to get the problem resolved. I will never buy a gift card from anyone else.

At first, the idea of a pre-paid gift card that is backed by a major credit card company sounds like a fantastic idea. You can use it anywhere! On anything! What could be better?
Which is exactly what you think, until you try to use the thing. First though, before I even get to the spending part, be aware, to purchase one of these little buggers isn't exactly cheap. For a $25 gift card, you get hit with a $3.95 surcharge. Ouch! For a $50 card, the surcharge is $4.95, and as you can imagine the fees just keep going up with the denomination you purchase.
I completely understand that of course you're going to have to pay a fee for the card, but $3.95 on a $25 gift card? That's absurd. Go with $1.50 and you've got me as a devoted gift giver. But hopefully not a gift receiver, as these beasts are hard to use.
If you take one of these into a retail store that accepts American Express, say you have a $25 gift card, and your purchase total is $30. Hand over the card, and what would you expect to happen? The $25 comes off of your total and the cashier asks you for the remaining $5. All is well and right with the world. WRONG! Hand over the card, cashier swipes it and it pops up as declined! The cashier has to enter the specific amount you have on the card that you wish to use. Which could almost be ok, if you're using the full amount of the card. But if say, your total is only $12.57? There's still $12.43 left on your card, and you need to remember that exact amount or the card is just going to keep being declined, or worse, you use it a few random times on small amounts, still have a little bit left on the card, but you keep getting it declined because you don't know what's left on it, get frustrated and toss the thing. Money wasted!
Seriously, I've never understood the use of these over a nice crisp bill. Less hassle, less headaches!

Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
The American express gift card seems like a nice thoughtful gift, it is an American Ezpress card and it can be used almost anywhere. It can be also be purchased almost anywhere...so what's the three stars for ? ? Well, this card if not used in a timely manner will begin to lose it's balance, yes money will actually be taken off your gift card and your balance will go down, this means the person who purchased it for you and the recipient lose money. How fair is that ?? Not fair at all, that kund of takes away from the whole gift idea. If you purchase this card, instruct the user to use it sooner than later. Also, putting money on card cost, not just the amount balance, but you are actually charged to put money in one of these American Express gift cards.
I think this card looks nice, the online customer service is ok and it makes a nice gift for a frequent shopper, gut if you intend to purchase for someone who likes to stick these in their wallet or purse for long periods of time and forgets about them, then a real gift card from a store they frequent or cash would be best.
Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
The American Express gift card is a great alternative to using your debit card for online purchases. It's also good if you're trying to budget.
I have bought a couple every month and slotted them for certain kinds of spending. It helps make sticking to a budget a lot easier. I get one for gas and one for extra spending , load how much I have budgeted on the gift card and that is my allowance for the month.
You can get them virtually anywhere and use them online, in person or over the phone. I think gift cards that are usuable at any store make more sense than ones that are tied to just one store.
They also make good gifts. I have purchased them and given them as gifts several times in the past.
Overall they are great, weather you are going to give them as a gift or keep them and spend them yourself.
Because they are prepaid and a gift card there isn't really a customer service place like you would usually think of. But they do have a good online customer service website.
Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
We have found that American Express gift cards makes wonderful gifts for family and friends. They are always received with appreciation. The American Express gift card looks quality and makes a great gift for when you aren't sure about sizes and it's perfect for the person that has everything. You use it like it was a credit card and it is accepted anywhere that takes American Express. Yes, it can even be used at movie theaters and restaurants. The recipient of this card can choose when and where they use it and on what they buy. It does cost a small amount but I figure that we save more than that in postage. I found out recently that some of our older friends have been using them at the gas station and grocery store. What I like is the funds on the card do not expire and they do not charge any monthly fees. the cards are refundable if lost or stolen. (I would highly recommend that you keep a copy of your receipt in a safe place which makes it fast and easy to replace)
Customer Service
I have only called their customer service once to ask questions and they were quick to respond and extremely courteous and helpful.
Available Rates
The cost of the card is minimal and we feel that it is much less expensive than postage.
Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
When I give gift cards, I generally choose the American Express or Visa gift card.You can use this card exactly as you would a debit or credit card. As long as AA is accepted by the retailer, you can use the gift card. There is no requirement to call in and activate the card. You can simply use it at an ATM machine, or take it to any retailer, restaurant, or facility that accepts American, and pay as you would any purchase.
Customer Service
They are very helpful for refilling the card. You can add funds this card when they run out. You don't have to speak to an agent. Simply call, input the amount you want to add, and give them a credit card number to refill the card. If you do have issues with spending the gift card, or want to find out where you can use it, you can find the information on their website, or speak to a customer service agent as well.
Available Rates
You don't pay interest rates. The only fee you pay is for activation of the card, but this is paid when you purchase the gift card. So, the recipient will have the full dollar amount to spend when they use the gift card to make purchases.
Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
I have both received and purchases the American Express gift card. Using it is simple, you just swipe it and sign like it is a normal credit card. You can use it anywhere American Express is accepted. I really like these gift cards because if it is involved in a data breach the thief is not getting access to your regular credit or debit card. Using gift cards like this is both safe and is helpful with staying on a budget. My only complaint is that when you buy these you have to pay an activation fee. I do not understand why you have to pay a fee on top of what you are putting on the card. Also if you do not use them after a certain amount of time they start deducting money every month.
Available Rates
There are no rates associated with this card. It is a gift card. Once the amount put on the card is spent you can refill it or throw it out. You are not putting charges on it like a normal credit card.
Comments about American Express - Gift Card:
I have never purchased one of these for someone else, but I have received many of them over the years. I love getting these as gifts! It's as good as cash. I can pretty much use it anywhere I wanted. Their customer service is awesome! Any time I've ever had an issue or wanted to know my balance I could quickly and easily find the answer I needed.
Customer Service
Like I stated above, their customer service is great. They are always quick to help out whether it was a simple question about my balance, or a great issue of a company over charging me. I have always had pleasant conversations with their customer service team.
Available Rates
I'm not sure what their rates would be since I have never purchased one of these gift cards for someone else. Their rates when you use the card are acceptable, and the fee they charge you when you have the card for over a year are a bit high, but then why are you sitting on a gift card and not using it for over a year?

The Georgian Chamber Players presented the first concert of their 2012-13 season on Sunday in the intimate Kellett Chapel of Peachtree Presbyterian Church on Roswell Road in Buckhead.
Titled "Middle-European Magic," the concert was intended to showcase the Piano Trio No. 4 of Antonin Dvorak, along with a pair of works for the unusual trio combination of two violins and viola: Dvorak's Terzetto in C Major, Op. 74, and the Serenade, Op. 12, by Zoltan Kodaly. But circumstances dictated a last-minute change in plans — violist Reid Harris had to bow out of the concert due to family issues that obliged him to be elsewhere.
Word was that, when a substitute violist could not quickly be found, the Terzetto and Serenade were eliminated. Instead, Mendelssohn's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor became the companion to the Dvorak piano trio, to be played by the same three musicians: violinist David Coucheron, cellist Christopher Rex and pianist Julie Coucheron. Given that the Mendelssohn is one of the cornerstones of piano trio repertoire, this was a most efficient solution in terms of necessary rehearsal time imposed by the change of plans.
One of only two piano trios that Mendelssohn composed, Piano Trio No. 1 is the more popular of the pair. Mendelssohn was a reasonably mature 30 years old when he wrote it in 1839. In the process of composing, he took the suggestion of fellow composer Ferdinand Hiller to revise the piano part to make it more romantic in the manner of Robert Schumann. Its four-movement structure is that of the standard sonata form that crowned Germanic classical-romantic musical lineage.
By contrast, Dvorak's Piano Trio No. 4, known as the "Dumky" trio, deviates significantly from that sonata form embraced by Mendelssohn and by Dvorak himself in his previous three piano trios. Its six movements are essentially fantasias that intertwine six "dumka," a kind of folk dance well known across Central Europe, with slow, melancholy melodies. It was completed in early 1891, by which time Dvorak was well established as a senior exponent of Czech cultural identity, so it simultaneously represents the composer at his folksiest and most original.
Aside from the fact that both works are mainline repertoire, one could expect a naturally superb sense of ensemble from these players, from the simple fact that David Coucheron and Rex work right across from each other almost daily in Atlanta Symphony Orchestra rehearsals and performances as concertmaster and principal cellist respectively. And also that David and Julie Coucheron are brother and sister.
The interactive chemistry showed forth, whether in passages of passionate lyricism or feisty exuberance. The music of both composers gave the players plenty of opportunity in which to engage and express a range of emotion to the audience.
It was a solidly satisfying concert. But as much of a linchpin piece as Mendelssohn's piano trio may be, the only downside of the day was not getting to hear the less heard works by Dvorak and Kodaly that were jettisoned. Hopefully they can be rescheduled by the Georgian Chamber Players in the not-too-distant future. I, for one, would look forward to that.

In this essay, I would like to discuss the Maitreyan soteriology in Early China from the angle of the ideal of cakravartin embedded in the image of Maitreya, who rules over a heavenly paradise and will come down to effect universal salvation in an earthly paradise. In the first section, I will present the social conditions as well as the indigenous schools of thought in Early China, and make an analogy with those in ancient Hindu society, so as to reveal the collective appeal to an ideal cakravartin as the future savior in Early China. In the second section, I would like to survey the development of the image of Maitreya in both scriptural and sectarian sources, and how it is related to the ideal of cakravartin. Then in the third section, I will discuss Maitreyan soteriology from the perspective of Pure Land belief and how the ideal of cakravartin has contributed to the development of Maitreyan soteriology in Early China. I will examine sutras in which Maitreya appears, and texts, including inscription, which record the actual practices of Maitreya worship, as well as the sculptures bearing those inscriptions, so as to present a comprehensive examination of Maitreyan soteriology in Early China.

Happy New Year!!!
Beth is in charge of the Lego League contest that is coming to her school in about two weeks. She needs to get volunteers to be judges and to be general help. This group is made up of mostly students from their school. They also need about eight boxes of little Lego creatures put together. The creatures may be chickens, houses, dinosaurs etc. They are made from the smallest Lego pieces. They are put on the table and the teams that are competing bring remote control Lego robots that must pick up or scoot these Lego creatures to a certain point or drop them in a certain basket. These Lego creatures are put together by student volunteers after school.
Beth was involved in this her Freshman year and spent hours after school putting these Lego things together. She found out tonight that not enough are assembled and she needs volunteers to help her to get them done. They will also have students outside riding around in the go carts that the school builds and takes to parades, if the weather is nice. I think about eight grade schools compete in this contest. Beth does like to be in charge, but it is a lot of work getting everything coordinated for the contest and taking care of her classwork too.

A solid and admirable Edinburgh performance, ferocious in defence at times, kept their European hopes alive for another week, but their prospects afterwards would have looked so much brighter had they collected the four tries they needed to add the icing of a bonus point to their win.
As it was, they finished with three tries rather than four, the urgency having apparently gone out of their attack in the last 10 minutes, just at the point when they needed to kick on. Yet they will travel to Munster next weekend with a chance of reaching the Amlin Cup quarter-finals, and after this overall display they will go with genuine hope.
Edinburgh had certainly not seemed daunted by the task in front of them, for they started briskly and confidently, and the 3-0 lead they took with a Greig Laidlaw penalty after 11 minutes was no more than they deserved. There was, though, an almighty stroke of luck about the way they extended the advantage a few minutes later.
It came when Jack Cuthbert appeared to have isolated himself as he broke down the left. When he was halted, Perpignan piled into the ruck and seemed to have won the ball. Somehow, however, it popped up in the air and straight into the arms of Tom Brown. The winger looked up, saw a huge gap in the defence, and shot straight through to score.
Laidlaw's conversion took Edinburgh into double figures, but it also acted as a wake-up call for Perpignan. Having absorbed a huge amount of pressure, the Catalans started to apply some of their own, and James Hook soon cut the gap to four points with two penalties.
By half-time, however, Edinburgh had taken more back, Laidlaw clipping over his second penalty three minutes before the break. Bt the Scots made a more decisive move early in the second period. Moments after Perpignan captain Guilhem Guirado had been sin-binned for a lurid offside, Edinburgh shipped the ball towards the left touchline, and a well-timed pass by Dougie Fife sent Cornell du Preez in for their second try.
The prospect of a precious bonus point looked even more tantalisingly close soon afterwards. As Guirado readied himself for his return, Edinburgh mounted waves of attack, and replacement fly-half Carl Bezuidenhout cut Perpignan open with a superb grubber kick. Wandile Mjekevu really shoud have dealt with it, but the winger fumbled badly and Fife pounced to score.
By this point, Perpignan had seemingly vanished as an attacking force, and the only question left was whether Edinburgh could add the bonus. Yet the French, with nothing to play for, fought back with spirit, sending Maxime Delonca over for a try with six minutes left.

Recently we are in to the business of building a distributed system where the long running operations to be offloaded to processing machines. Processing machines are pulling the messages from the queue instead of having a manager allocating tasks.
Initially we were assigning throttling numbers to each of the processing machines according to their configuration such as number of processors, RAM etc...But soon we could see that the machines are either not utilized or over utilized. So decided to introduce a mechanism where the real time machine load needs to considered before taking new message from the queue.
We considered some techniques for sensing the load but those were not feeling better than analyzing the Windows performance counters. So decided to go with looking at the appropriate performance counters before dequeue a new message from the queue.
What are the appropriate performance counters? Its always debatable. We are in the initial stages of the implementation. Hopefully can update soon.
Another challenge we faced was how the performance counter data is translated to a boolean value saying system is healthy or not. We evaluated PAL which reads the .blg files and produces report. But finally reached to a conclusion of saving the performance counter values into database and running own rule engine there which replaces PAL.
Some links on how to work with performance counters from perfmon.exe below

Uzma Naureen-Khan stood by and did nothing as Shazad Khan viciously attacked his new Pakistani wife continually for three weeks, until he eventually murdered her in May 2006.
The science teacher, 25, was sent to prison, along with her mother and sister, for failing to come to the defence of a vulnerable adult when she knew she was in pain and at risk of further beatings.
Naureen-Khan was sentenced to two years after the judge ruled that she was "lacking in common humanity", but was released after serving half.
Now, the General Teaching Council (GTC) has ruled that she does not pose a risk to children and can continue to be a teacher.
Naureen-Khan's trial, held in Leeds Crown Court in 2008, heard how her sister-in-law, Sabia Rani, 19, had been subjected to abuse which started just months after she got married.
The judge said he found it hard to believe that a woman of Naureen-Khan's "education and intelligence" could have failed to realise that such horrific abuse was going on in the house the family all shared together.
Naureen-Khan's brother eventually bludgeoned his wife to death in the family garage. He then carried her lifeless body through the house, up the stairs and put her in the bath in the communal bathroom before filling it with cold water.
In a hearing last week, the GTC acknowledged that Naureen-Khan had let down the profession and gave her a 12-month ban, but it refused to remove her from the register.
The committee heard the teacher, who worked at West Leeds High School, had misled her former head teacher Margaret Brown when she requested time off during term, but failed to disclose it was because she faced a criminal trial.
She was suspended when the deception was discovered, and later resigned.
The GTC found her guilty of unacceptable conduct for misleading Mrs Brown, and judged her criminal offence relevant to her role.
The committee said: "In our judgment your conviction for allowing the death of a vulnerable adult has material relevance to your fitness to be a registered teacher.
"Teachers are role models within schools and the community and have a responsibility to contribute to the care and safety of vulnerable individuals."
However, it found she had shown "real character and insight" into her actions and "had sought to rebuild" her life.
It said: "We believe that you have the potential to teach effectively in the future and you have the passion, desire and professional commitment for teaching."
The GTC said the order imposed was "necessary to protect the reputation of the profession and to maintain public confidence in the standards of conduct expected of teachers", but added that it had "no doubt that you do not present a risk to children or pupils".

|If you play tennis you may find the skills of the mouse and keyboard are similar to the real game. The most important factor of the game is balance, not the motion of the stroke itself. What's the use of a great stroke if you can't get to the ball and position yourself properly? That's why players are sometimes baffled when players that play ugly actually win against good players. Most free online tennis games involve balancing power and time on the serve, while managing movement on the forehand and backhand.

BASEBALL TAB -- Playoff loss, graduation motivates Saints
By Andrew Stevens
Published in Sports on March 1, 2013 1:47 PM
Motivation shouldn't be hard to find for Southern Wayne's seven returning starters this spring.
The sting of last season's season-ending loss at West Brunswick in the second round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3-A state playoffs should provide all the fuel to the fire the Saints need. Southern Wayne watched a 4-0 lead evaporate in the bottom of the seventh inning in a 5-4 loss to the Trojans.
"It keeps us hungry," Saints' head coach Trae McKee said. "I thought we kind of experienced what it's going to take. I think the kids coming back have something to prove especially losing nine seniors. I think the kids back from last year have a fire underneath them."
The reigning Eastern Carolina 3-A Conference tournament champion, Southern Wayne boasts a junior- and senior-ladened roster chocked full of varsity experience.
Senior first baseman and pitcher Jacob Sasser provides thump at the plate, a reliable glove and a veteran arm on the mound. Hurlers Jackson Hayes and Cody Wendorf both shined at times last season. The duo will be counted on along with Sasser to fill the void left by workhorse pitcher Jeremy Taylor.
Jacob Hollingsworth, D.J. Skinner, Matthew Holland and Garrad Whitfield could all see time on the mound.
"I feel good about our rotation," McKee said. "I want to see that competitiveness that we lost in Jeremy Taylor on the mound from Jacob, Jackson and Cody. All three of those guys will carry the load. The younger guys will have to identify themselves as guys who can get us some outs.
"We'll use the non-conference portion of our schedule to see who can step up in that role."
Offensively, the Saints possess a combination of hitters capable of driving the ball to the gap or playing small ball. Filling the void left by senior catcher Ashton Cox, who is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks after wrist surgery, is a priority. Kevin Williams and Nathan Barwick will split time behind the plate until Cox returns.
Seniors Taylor Raynor and Thomas Kelly along with junior center fielder Clayton Cashwell will be counted on to drive in runs and move base runners over.
"As far as the lineup is concerned, I feel like we're heading in the right direction," McKee said. "I think we have a chance to put some runs up. I think lack of experience in the bottom of the lineup could be a concern. We have some power in spots and in different parts of the order we're going to have to play small-ball."
A challenging non-conference schedule with contests against South Lenoir, Rocky Mount and Wilson Hunt should prepare Southern Wayne for the rigors of ECC play. The Saints open their conference slate March 8 at home against Triton.
"I just want to see us competing on a pitch-to-pitch basis," McKee said. "I know we are going to play as hard as we possibly can and see where we are when it all shakes out. We're going to go to the drawing board and try to make an improvement the next day."

There is one thing above all I am most envious of those Android users state side and that is you access to the entire Google Play market.
I guess these things take time as here in the UK with all but TV shows which I must admit is far better than most other places world wide.
The one aspect of the Google Play market I personally would love access to is TV Shows, the one thing I do not currently have access to, what would you most like to be able to purchase?

Research Explains Link Between Exercise and Appetite Loss
September 6, 2007 - (BRONX, NY) - Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have demonstrated that yoga can benefit ethnic minority breast cancer survivors -primarily African-Americans and Hispanics - as well as women living in underserved communities. The study corroborates previous research among largely Caucasian populations, showing that yoga can maintain or improve quality of life in a variety of ways for women with breast cancer. The findings appear in the current issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"Overall, we saw that yoga had its greatest effect on the social functioning of these women," says the study''s lead author, Dr. Alyson Moadel, an assistant professor of epidemiology and population health at Einstein.
The study examined the impact of yoga on overall quality of life (including fatigue, psychological distress, and spiritual well-being) among an ethnically diverse sample of breast cancer patients from the underserved urban community of Bronx, NY. The women in general had lower-than-average levels of quality of life at the outset of the study.
During the 12-week study period, the researchers compared quality of life measures between two groups--84 women with early-stage breast cancer who took a weekly yoga class and 44 women who did not take yoga. (Approximately half of the women were undergoing chemotherapy during the study period, while the remainder had either completed treatment or did not require it.) Women in the yoga intervention group were led in a gentle, seated form of yoga based on Integral Hatha yoga techniques incorporating stretching, breathing exercises and meditation, provided in both English and Spanish.
Significantly more women in the non-yoga group experienced a worsening of social well-being compared with women in the yoga intervention group (13% vs. 2%). While yoga did not improve social well-being, it seems to have offered social support that may help to counter the effects of loneliness and isolation, which are commonly experienced after a diagnosis of cancer.
''''This is noteworthy, since social support has been associated with promoting quality of life, preventive health behavior, and even cancer survival," says Dr. Moadel. "Although other measures such as physical and emotional well-being, fatigue, and mood did not differ significantly between the groups, we believe that the impact and timing of chemotherapy treatment may have obscured the benefits of yoga on these quality-of-life measures. This was corroborated by a separate analysis of yoga participants not on chemotherapy, who experienced a greater range of benefits--including improvements in mood emotional well-being, and overall quality of life--compared with similar patients not taking yoga."
When asked which aspects of yoga were most helpful, one 47-year-old African American participant noted, "Definitely the deep breathing, relaxation and focusing on the body and on what''''s working in the body and not on the cancer." A 52-year-old Hispanic woman summed up her experience saying, "I see things in a different light. Seeing people in the same situation as me has strengthened me because I see how they deal. Going to yoga helps me relax and forget my problems..."
Dr. Moadel notes that this was the first systematic study of yoga''s impact on breast cancer survivors who are ethnic minorities. "Our study showed that yoga was well-received by minority women and has the potential to help many of them who have breast cancer," adds Dr. Moadel, who also is director of the Psychosocial Oncology Program of the Albert Einstein Cancer Center.
Other Einstein researchers involved in the study include Drs. Chirag Shah, Joseph Sparano, Judith Wylie-Rosett, Melanie Harris, Sapana Patel, and Charles Hall. The Einstein research team is now looking at yoga's impact on patients and survivors of cancers of the breast, colon, and lung.
The study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the Langeloth Foundation.

A teen thug who'd helped in a violent, gay-bias robbery at the Stonewall bar — famed as a landmark in the gay rights movement — was sentenced to 60 days jail and five years probation today.
Christopher Orlando, 18, had helped tackle patron Benjamin Carver, 35, during the October, 2010 robbery in the bar's bathroom. Orlando and a second man, Matthew Francis, 22, both of Staten Island, shouted gay slurs at their victim during the attack, prosecutors charged.
Francis, accused of playing the more violent role in the beat down, was sentenced in September to two years prison. Orlando — called "the minor participant" today by his lawyer, John Rapawy — will have his record sealed if he stays out of trouble until his probation period ends.

ASIA: Mixed, with wild news out of Japan. Japan's central bank outlined plans for asset buying. In addition to the purchase of 3.5 trillion yen-worth of short- and long-term government securities, the bank also said it would buy lower-rated corporate debt, and accelerated a deadline to decide on buying ETFs and REITs. Indeed, we live in interesting times, and Japanese government bonds rallied on the news that the government has their back. The yen is at 81.3 per U.S. dollar, having strengthened slightly.
ANZ bank reported strong profits, helping Australia's ASX 200 index jump 0.7%. ANZ itself was up 2.9%. Agricultural Bank of China beat expectations and rose nearly 1.5% in Shanghai. Nintendo reported a loss.
Andy Xie's latest is to urge emerging markets to throw free market economics to the wind and engage capital controls, because the hot money inflow will soon go 'from boiling to molten.'
EUROPE: Is rising with England in the lead. Royal Dutch Shell is rising after reporting earnings. France Telecom beat expectations and is up a healthy 2% so far. It turns out that Spain has slashed its budget deficit by a whopping 42% in the first nine months of 2010.
Don't forget however that Greece's 10-year yield broke above 10% again on concerns that austerity measures would be watered down due to politics. It remains there today, at 10.3%.
MACRO: The euro is taking back some of its recent losses. It's a dollar-down day, with everything else up.
U.S. FUTURES: Are fighting for a positive open. Watch for jobless claims at 8:30 AM ET, and Exxon (XOM) plus Microsoft (MSFT) earnings.

According to the their website, the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy
is dedicated to advocacy efforts that can result in better treatment for all headache disorder patients.
The AHDA has started a new blog called HeadNotes. This blog will provide another way to find what is happening with headache advocacy. Their latest post is a must-read as it is an update on what progress has been made since the formation of the group in September 2007. I was excited to read about how the AHDA has been making a difference.
It is of vital importance for those of us who are headache sufferers to be involved in the advocacy for better treatment and research. As others have said before me, if we do not stand up for ourselves, how can we expect others to do so?
The AHDA website has a page dedicated to what we can be doing all the time for headache advocacy. Addiionally, there is an Action Center as well as an action e-list where for you and other headache sufferers can sign up to receive alerts on important advocacy information. I encourage you to please sign up for action alerts and get involved! The HeadNotes blog is a great place to get started.

Let's Get
Skip Stein
Your Plant-Based
Lifestyle Coach!
Skip handles most of the Lifestyle Coaching! Why? Well, since he will be 71 in 2017, seems like he has learned a thing or three how to LIVE. As a Holistic Cancer Survivor, contributed mostly to a change to a Plant-Based Lifestyle, he has learned how to change and adapt, while Enjoying our journey together! You can read
Skip's Bio
on his site.
Anyway, Skip & Nancy have been leading a Plant-Based Lifestyle for over six years; making a dramatic change upon hearing of Skip's diagnosis of
Prostate Cancer
. As big meat and dairy consumers, it was a drastic and mostly overnight change.
How did it go? Well it was a significant adjustment for sure, but the Changes happened quickly. Following a relatively short detoxification process, Skip & Nancy began to drop accumulated weight, started feeling 'better' overall and found they had more energy than ever.
Both Skip and Nancy had careers that had them traveling the globe and that energetic lifestyle was renewing itself. Now after over six years on a Plant Based Diet and having adopted a much more energetic lifestyle, Skip & Nancy found a love of hiking and outdoors adventure and formed another company,
Plant Based Road Trip
, that focuses on road travel across the USA.
This aspect of our Lifestyle approach is first finding out what issues you have. Providing someone who will Listen first and never try to tell you what to do! That never works, just like dieting never, ever works.
We want to understand why you think you need a Lifestyle Coach in the first place <smile>! Yes, we will let you know if we don't think you do! On the other hand, the reason you contacted us in the first place was because of your perceived need for assistance.
Most Americans and others who follow a Standard American Diet (SAD) find themselves over weight, lethargic and on hosts of meds. These medications,
prescribed by doctors
, are mostly to treat lifestyle diseases; caused in most part by your Lifestyle. Diabetes 2, Heart Disease, Cancer and more are caused by a failed immune system and that in turn, it the result of lousy nutrition!
We want to help YOU change that and begin to Live a more Plant-Based Lifestyle. This new Lifestyle will be easy for some and more difficult for others to adopt. That is where our Coaching and encouragement comes into play.
We work With You to help guide you to an approach that fits your current demands of job, family and life challenges. Everyone is different and not one lifestyle fits everyone. That is why we Listen and work With You to help the adjustment process take hold so it will last the rest of Your Life!
Skip offers his personal experience in dealing with
Prostate Cancer
and other personal challenges in the health area to those who may also be facing the, often daunting, issues involved with health and wellness. Skip also applies his degree in Psychology during his
health and wellness counseling
sessions to ease his clients into a new lifestyle and begin the journey to health and wellness. His degree in

NI LabWindows™/CVI 2010 Improves ANSI C Developer Productivity and Simplifies FPGA Communication
New Version Simplifies Test System Development for Linux, Real-Time and FPGA-Based Systems
Dec 06, 2010, 10:00 EST
AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Instruments (Nasdaq : NATI ) today announced NI LabWindows/CVI 2010, which includes features that build on the proven ANSI C test and measurement software platform to offer increased developer productivity and simplified field-programmable gate array (FPGA) communication. Additional announcements include the LabWindows/CVI 2010 Linux Run-Time Module and the LabWindows/CVI 2010 Real-Time Module that provide functionality to extend the development environment for deploying to Linux and real-time operating systems.
For added flexibility when building source code, ANSI C developers can use LabWindows/CVI 2010 to customize project build options beyond debug/release and 32-bit/64-bit predefined configurations. The software provides increased debugging efficiency by making it possible for developers to attach the LabWindows/CVI debugger to a running process, without having to restart the program. This gives developers additional insight into application failures and crashes. In addition, configuring multiple user interface controls is easier with a new feature for interactively and programmatically creating arrays of controls and performing iterative or batch operations. Developers also can increase test system longevity with smaller and more convenient distributions by creating patches for deployed installations.
LabWindows/CVI developers now can create host applications to communicate with FPGA technologies using the FPGA-Interface C API, a new integrated tool for generating C source files that can be used to interact with compiled LabVIEW FPGA VIs. This version of the software also delivers an improved source code editing experience with custom function panels for the FPGA-Interface C API. The LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW FPGA Bundle provides developers with all the necessary software and hardware components for programming FPGAs on NI PXI reconfigurable I/O devices. This helps developers create sophisticated ANSI C host applications and perform unique timing and triggering routines, high-speed control, interfacing to digital protocols, digital signal processing, RF and communications.
The LabWindows/CVI 2010 Real-Time Module extends the LabWindows/CVI development environment to create reliable and deterministic applications that target dedicated real-time hardware. New features include USB thumb drive backup, restoration and replication, as well as a Web-based interface for configuration and monitoring of PXI real-time targets. The LabWindows/CVI 2010 Linux Run-Time Module includes up-to-date library support for compiling and running LabWindows/CVI applications on Linux operating systems. This module also offers support for the FPGA-Interface C API, making it possible for developers to take advantage of NI FPGA-based hardware on the Linux platform.

Childcare is a central issue for the country and the economy as we head towards the next General election. As a working mum myself I know the issues involved in juggling childcare and work.
Parents are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. They face a childcare triple whammy of this Government's own making with prices rising faster than inflation, places plummeting and cuts to support through tax credits.
Labour is tackling the childcare crisis with a guaranteed wrap around childcare place for primary school children and an extension of the free nursery hours for three and four years olds from 15 to 25 hours. These measures are a clear signal of Labour's intent to put better quality affordable accessible childcare at the heart of the cost of living election we face in 2015. I'll be a tireless campaigner for childcare and children."

Back in my youthful folk music days, I used to love hearing the great singer/guitarist Dave Van Ronk growl out an old 1930s Tin Pan Alley tune — actually, it had roots in the 19th century — called "One Meat Ball." The song presented the tale of a "little man" who had only 15 cents for a meal. One meatball was all he could afford, and, as the waiter scolded him, "Ya gets no bread with one meatball!"
Well, now, it's eight decades after the Great Depression, but we're still in the shadows of our recent great recession and meatballs still can count as a value meal.
At the City Diner, in fact, you get three meatballs as well as some bread for $4.74.
Here's why that's a real bargain: According to a standard inflation calculator, that 15 cents from, say, 1937, is worth about $2.37 today. So at $4.74 at the City Diner, you're getting three meatballs for the price of two Depression-era hunger stoppers.
The City Diner, at the northeast edge of the City Market area, might not be one of the greasiest of area greasy spoons, but it has served reliable and inexpensive meals since, yes, the very same 1930s of "One Meat Ball." Owners Don and Nola Busch have run the place for 14 years.
The diner's Meatball Dunk is just about the cheapest item on its lunch menu, except for a grilled cheese sandwich ($3.60) and sides.
The ground-beef meatballs, made from scratch, arrive in a bowl smothered with a thick and slightly sweet red sauce, the kind of sugo Paulie Walnuts (of "The Sopranos") might refer to as gravy. On the side is a quartered and toasted, sesame-sprinkled Italian roll for dunking, as the name implies. But, given the materials at hand, you can also think of the dish as a deconstructed meatball grinder, though it's doubtful the philosophical concept of deconstruction is frequently discussed in the diner's black-and-white tiled interior.
On its own, the dish can be filling, but you can overdo it by ordering some fries ($2.35) or a lettuce and tomato salad ($2.75) on the side.
The diner serves a burger for $5.05, and other sandwich prices go up from there. Its huge, 12-inch pancakes are popular ($5.25), but a short stack of three smaller ones goes for $4.75, and on Tuesdays the diner offers all-you-can-eat pancakes for $4.75.
The day I downed the Meatball Dunk at the counter, there was a nearby discussion of the previous day's miracle at the ballgame, the moment when Justin Maxwell drilled a two-out, full-count, game-winning grand slam in the bottom of the 10th inning of the Royals' last home game of the season.
"Sometimes," the quick-thinking kitchen man said of the dinger as he looked my way, "you get served meatballs."
Agreed. And there's nothing wrong with that.The City Diner

Jay Leno on Handing 'Tonight Show' Over to Jimmy Fallon
In a rare new interview with "Extra's" Terri Seymour, Jay Leno opened up about his one-time fling with Sharon Osbourne, and being replaced by Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show."
As for what Leno will do after he leaves, he admitted, "I have no idea. We'll figure it out. That's months away."
Seymour also asked about all the media attention around Sharon Osbourne's reveal that she had a "fling" with Leno in 1978 when she was in her 20s. Leno laughed, "I like Sharon. We were both single and we're friends. She's a nice lady. And what, it's supposed to be shocking? It's just silly."
Watch more of our interviews, including what Leno had to say about the shocking Johnny Carson biography from Carson's lawyer, Henry Buskin.

The New York Stock Exchange is skating on thin ICE — new owner IntercontinentalExchange plans hundreds of exchange layoffs to slash costs, and may sell some tech assets, Street execs familiar with the situation told The Post.
The setback is not a good sign for the future existence of the financial institution, which traces its roots to a 1792 agreement under a buttonwood tree.
The pink slips affect the six-figure jobs of high-tech programmers, and those of other staffers. But the bloodletting could go much deeper — and force the sale of the NYSE itself, Street execs say.
A lot of people on the NYSE trading floor are not really comfortable," said former Big Board floor trader Joe Cangemi.
Although he's not personally aware of any asset-sale chatter, he has heard other unsettling talk. "Frankly, based on my experience and on what I am hearing, the whole floor is nervous," said Cangemi, who is now CEO of ConvergEx Limited in London.
The tech asset sales are a strategic component of the efforts of ICE to squeeze out $500 million in savings. The owners will also wring costs from big job cuts.
Total expected cuts (1,500 worldwide) would reduce payroll to about 2,600, ICE execs have previously confirmed. NYSE's head count at the time of the deal hovered around 4,000, with contractors factored in. That's compared with the Atlanta-based ICE 's much leaner 1,000 or so.
On a good day, the NYSE floor has about 700 traders overall, including options pros. However, stock traders, the mart's traditional backbone, number just 300 as the troubled NYSE loses market share.
So far, one source who viewed the deal book assembled by ICE banker Evercore Partners says ICE is not impressed by prospective bids for the tech assets. The bidders include several major banks and brokerages and, most recently, media and information giant Thomson Reuters.
One Street pro told The Post that the bidding process was originally set to end a couple of weeks back. But it got extended, often a red flag it's not going well.
Now, this same pro says, ICE is swinging the ax early "to sweeten the deal." The pink slips are out for NYSE tech staff at its Wombat business in New York and a Wombat affiliate in Ireland where some 130 people are employed. Total layoffs in this area alone could involve "several hundred" employees, sources say.
ICE, headed by strong-willed Jeffrey Sprecher, has a history of shuttering floor operations that don't deliver to the bottom line.
It closed the floors and moved to electronic trading after acquiring the International Petroleum Exchange in 2001 and the New York Board of Trade in 2007.
"Nobody really knows," said Cangemi. "They've promised not to close the NYSE floor, but that does not mean a thing. There is no commitment to it."
"If Sprecher can make the NYSE simpler, better and easier, he'll keep it," said NYSE and ICE investor Thomas Caldwell, CEO of Caldwell Securities. "And if he can't … well, I think he is going to dump it."
"We don't have any comment at this time," said Eric Ryan, a spokesman for ICE and NYSE Euronext. Evercore Partners also declined to comment.

It's not quite prime time yet, but it's clear to everyone that solid state drives are the future of storage. Now that most modern operating systems have been tweaked to handle SSDs and capitalize upon their power savings and blistering fast read and write speeds, all we need now is for the drives to get bigger and cheaper for them to reach the saturation point of market ubiquity.
Unfortunately, though, even some of the premiere manufacturers of SSDs are revealing themselves, time and time again, of not being ready to step into prime time. And no company exemplifies this trend more than Intel.
Intel has great SSDs. Their new X25 line of solid state drives are already at the top of the roost in terms of performance, but a new firmware and toolkit were released earlier this week, promising a heady 40% speed increase in data writing, and almost total elimination for usage-induced performance degradation. The update also added support the Windows 7 "trim" feature, which is used to boost SSD speeds and lifespan.
Unfortunately, Intel boned it up: users are reporting massive data corruption, and Intel has already reacted by pulling the firmware. Amazingly, though, this isn't the first time that Intel messed up the firmware for its SSDs. It's one of three major blunders by Intel in their SSD line.
These problems will, of course, be readily fixed, but if Intel can't get this right, it bodes ill for the rest of the sector… and the time is coming when botched SSD firmware is going to effect more than just early adopters, but almost everyone.

It's not like a mint chocolate chip ice cream...That's all mint with bits and pieces of chocolate. And personally it's not my favourite because I don't like chocolate of any kind in my ice cream. Your palette is so frozen at that point that you'll need something more exciting than chocolate. That's just my opinion though, my sister loveeeees chocolate ice cream.
I got mixed reviews for this cake. Some loved it and others inferior to the cheesecake from 2 weeks ago. I thought it could have been better if I used more mint extract for the frosting. The minty flavour wasn't strong enough for me. My sister did say it looked really pretty though. And it's extremely hard to get a compliment from her...
There's 3 layers of chocolate cake, filled with 3 layers of mint frosting, and topped with a layer of chocolate ganache. I've seen so many ganache recipes that is a 1:1 ratio of chocolate and heavy cream but it doesn't work!!!! I've always, always, always had to use at least double the amount of chocolate chips to my heavy cream and it is one of those things I can never figure out where went wrong.
I used a swiss buttercream for the mint frosting. It's not the first time I've attempted it but it's the first time I had it come together. It is really easy to "break" the butter cream once you start adding butter to the meringue. The tip I got from Crumbboss was to add all the butter and shortening at once instead of going little by little. And when it does break, just keep whipping it and it will eventually come back. Mine did break again because I had only had half the amount of butter and shortening the recipe asked for. It wasn't strong enough to hold everything together so everything started curdling and becoming "soupy". But I kept on whipping it and it did come back and still tasted great.
I stuffed the middle layer with some chopped up mint chocolate squares and thought it adds a bit more mintiness to the cake.
Mint Swiss Buttercream Frosting
adapted from Crumbboss (less butter and shortening)
6 egg whites
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup unsalted butter
1 tbsp vanilla
2-3 tbsp mint extract based on taste
3tbsp green food colouring
Combine sugar and egg whites in a heat proof bowl and set it over simmering water. Heat it until the sugars dissolve and the mixture reaches 115 degrees F. I just used my hand wearing a plastic glove. It's easier to feel if the sugar has dissolved and if the mixture is coming up to temperature.
It will become foamy on top like this. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk until stiff peaks.
Add butter and shortening all at once and whip until stiff.
Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream
Melt together and refrigerate until needed.
Heat the ganache to a pour-able consistency in the microwave. Using a spatula, help spread it to the sides and let it drip down over a cooling rack set on top of a cookie sheet.
