SEPANG: Today's Barisan Nasional (BN) government is the government for the young people as all policies and plans, including the National Transformation 2050 (TN50) initiative, were designed to fit the lives of young Malaysians and to safeguard their future, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
Najib, who is also the BN chairman, said a leader's responsibility was not just to play politics or to make long-term and populist policies, but to formulate policies that would fulfill the dreams of the young people.
"We have to formulate policies based on a vision and a huge concept to fulfill the dream, aspiration, ambition and also the hope of the young people.
"If our country continues to be led by BN government, the dreams of the young people will be fulfilled," he said when officiating the closing of the Malaysia 4B Youth Movement Day celebration at Kampung Ulu Chuchuh, here today.
He said 80,000 aspirations of young Malaysians had been collected so far and would be filtered and merged as the basis for the formulation of the TN50 blueprint.
The prime minister said various initiatives had been designed by the BN government for the young people, including the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme which would be launched soon, as well as the Youth Parliament and the Youth City.
"The Youth City will be established in three states, with the first to be in Tanjung Malim, Perak. If BN wins in Selangor, then we can have one in Selangor," he said to the applause of the crowd.
Najib said today's government was also open to public opinion, including from the young people, and that had been one of the factors he abolished the Internal Security Act (ISA) after being appointed as the Prime Minister on April 3, 2009.
"It is because we do not want our society to be controlled and scared by the leader who is deemed dictator or autocratic.
"Everything must be done according to the legal process. If it is wrong, let the court decide," he said.
Najib said his government had been implementing policies that provide civil liberties so that the people would be more open in voicing out their opinions and criticisms.
However, he said the people should be responsible by making criticisms based on facts and not a mere fabrication, such as the allegation about the presence of 40,000 Bangladeshi voters in the last general election.
"If we had cheated, BN would not have lost in Selangor, Penang and Kelantan. We didn't cheat. We formed the government based on the votes we received from the people," he said.
At the event attended by over 10,000 youths from across the country, Najib also launched the 4B Youth – Friend of BN machinery, which will be deployed to help the party in the 14th general election.
Also present were Urban Wellbeing and Local Government Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar, who is also Selangor BN chairman, and Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron. — BERNAMA

Philly Police No Longer Going To Waste Time On Fender Benders
Philly police say they are no longer going to waste time and resources responding to minor fender benders in which there are no injuries and the cars can be safely driven away.
From CBS in Philly:
"If there's an issue that you don't feel can be resolved without the officer there, the dispatcher will evaluate that on the phone when you call 911 and then he/she will have an officer respond," Lt. Vanore said.
Several other cities, including Chicago, are already utilizing the policy.
Instead of bothering the police, if you have a minor fender bender you can exchange information and file a police report by phone, police told CBS.
They also said they respond to "nearly 70,000 auto accidents each year, adding about 10,000 do not require a police officer."
Have you been able to handle minor car accidents without police help? Did it work out? Do you see this working out in Philly?

Family Medicine Charts and Graphs
The American Academy of Family Physicians has made these charts and graphs available for use by journalists to help illustrate the care delivered by family physicians. For additional information, please contact us.
Match 2018(3 MB PDF)
Student interest in family medicine continued its upward trend in the 2018 Match. "The number and proportion of U.S. medical graduates going into family medicine is the strongest indicator of the future of the primary care workforce because family medicine is the only specialty completely devoted to primary care," said Michael Munger, MD, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians. "The continued increased interest in family medicine is promising news as we continue to fight the workforce shortage."
Percent of Medical School Graduates with Debt and Amount Owed – 2015(808 KB PDF)
More than 79 percent of graduating medical students complete their education with more than $100,000 in educational debt. More than one in 10 graduating family physicians must repay school loans for $300,000 or more.
Median Income of Physicians by Specialty – 2015(818 KB PDF)
Family physicians and their primary care colleagues rank lowest in income of all medical specialties. The U.S. health care system pays more for procedures that intervene in a disease process or injury than it pays for patient-physician office visits that prevent disease and injury. The result: an expensive health care system that strains the financial capacity of individuals, employers, and public safety net programs.
Primary Care Physicians and Other Specialties in U.S., by Percent(782 KB PDF)
Health care policy analysts say that efficient, high quality health care systems are based on primary medical care. The United States does not currently have such a system; only 41 percent of physicians (family physicians, internists, general pediatricians, and general practitioners) provide primary care services.
Increased Access to Family Physicians(1 MB PDF)
Family physicians have dramatically increased patients' access to care. Eight in 10 family physicians provide open access/same-day scheduling and more nearly six in 10 provide extended/evening office hours and a web portal for secure messaging between patients and their family physicians.
Hours Providing Patient Care and Office hours
The time spent providing patient care affects access to medical services. In addition to the time spent coordinating care with other professionals and community resources, reviewing charts, working with pharmacists and insurance companies, and other responsibilities outside the exam room, primary care physicians spend at least 75 percent of their office hours – more than 31 hours a week – providing direct care to patients. Four out of 10 primary care physicians offer evening and/or weekend office hours.
Clinical Services Provided by Family Physicians(810 KB PDF)
Family physicians have medical expertise to provide care for the entire patient. They see all ages from infants to adolescents to adults and provide care in both the community and in hospitals, nursing homes and hospice settings. More than seven in 10 family physicians provide chronic care management, adolescent medicine, geriatric care and care of infants and young children. They also see patients in urgent care, inpatient settings, emergency rooms and intensive care.
Where Americans Get Health Care
Most medical students are trained in university-based hospitals known as academic health centers, which care for the most seriously ill patients. This hospital-based education skews medical students' perception of medical practice, because most patients get their care in doctors' offices and community settings. In fact, very few of students' future patients will actually require care in such a high-tech, tertiary care hospital as an academic health center.
Data show that for every 1,000 Americans:
- 800 have some type of health symptoms
- 327 consider seeking medical care
- 217 visit a physician office
- 65 visit a complementary or alternative care provider
21 seek care in a hospital outpatient clinic
- 14 receive home health care
- 13 go to the emergency room
- 8 are hospitalized and
- Fewer than 1 is hospitalized in a tertiary care, academic health setting.
State-by-State Number of Family Physicians in 2006 and Projected Need in 2020(1 page PDF)
Every state in the Union will need significantly more family physicians by 2020, according to the 2006 AAFP Workforce Report. The report predicted a national need for 139,531 family physicians by 2020. The United States already has a shortage of family physicians, and demand continues to rise. Merritt Hawkins, a national physician recruitment company, reports that recruitment requests for family physicians grew by 62 percent between 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. Requests for family physicians grew by 196 percent between 2004-2005 and 2007-2008.

And it is sad it was the father who shot him, but it would have just been a mater of time before he got shot by someone else. If you are a criminal...you are going to pay the price.What, we should let folks rob, steal, rape and rob because, well, someone might get injured in the process? That seems to be the norm there. You 'hurt' the robber , rapist, or worse...and he will sue you for damages. You can't stab him, hit him, or anything. Over there, you just got to let him take your money, jewels, and life...don't hurt him, Bluto!..NOw, I guess if intercst had an armed guy, who demanded that intercst transfer all his on line accounts to a Swiss bank account, immediately, by wire transfer..... and tied up intercst....intercst wouldn't resist and would provide all the required passwords....let the perp have his way...and interct would likely wind up dead....afterwards.....but heck, that's all about liberals..and his neighbors, even though armed, wouldn't think of 'saving' intercst because, duh, the don't want to use their guns. t.

Nautical Mile resident Ilona Jagnow stepped into what was once her parents' backyard on South Long Beach Avenue in Freeport recently. She walked carefully through the overgrown grass full of stray nails, broken glass, fallen tree branches and a stack of bricks. Hurricane Sandy had left the blue home as a shell of its former self.
Jagnow decided to elevate the house 23 feet in the air in an effort to save it and to prevent it from flooding during any future storms in the area. She said she never imagined, however, that nearly five years after Sandy, the project would not be complete. A series of bad contractors have delayed construction, she said.
"This was my parents dream home," she said, holding back tears. "They built this as their retirement home in the 1990s so they could be close to their business. I bought the house next door so I can be closer to them when I came home. I don't even know what to say anymore. I've already put in $300,000 into building this."
Jagnow is like so many South Shore residents who are required to elevate their homes because they were substantially damaged during Sandy — meaning that the houses suffered damage in excess of 50 percent of their market value. Jagnow has been working with the Governor's Office of Storm Recovery, a division of the NY Rising Program, to repair and elevate the house. That process, she said, has been excruciatingly slow, and she is now at her wit's end.
Over the past five years, NY Rising received 12,000 applications seeking financial assistance from homeowners and business owners who had to repair their properties, and awarded roughly $1.2 billion, $950 million of which has been distributed.
Jagnow now lives with her mother in her house next door. Her father died a year after Sandy struck. Her parents' unfinished home sits unoccupied. The foundation is complete, but the house has no interior walls.
GOSR spokeswoman Catie Marshall said the state is working to get all homeowners back into their houses, but a number of homeowners went ahead and performed work on their own, without the proper state approvals, in the months and years after Sandy, causing widespread delays.
"We want to help everyone get in their homes safely and as soon as possible," Marshall said. "We are here to help anyone who is having a problem with their construction or elevation."
Jagnow is not alone in Freeport. On the Nautical Mile, a handful of homes are up on stilts, in the middle of being elevated
As a contractor for 37 years, Ben Jackson said he has never seen a storm like Hurricane Sandy. Jackson has worked with NY Rising on a number of Sandy reconstruction projects. He said it's been a long haul, and the effort to return people to their homes continues.
Jackson credited the Village of Freeport with releasing information to the public about building codes and zoning requirements after Sandy. He said the storm changed the way many builders like him work. Elevating homes, he said, is tough. The height of an elevation varies from home to home, depending on how high the flood level was during Sandy.
"It's a measurement based on the highest flood waters of Sandy," he said. "There are a lot of factors involved. It depends on the zone, how high you were prior to the storm and how high you are relative to the height of the water during the storm. It's like an arbitrary line."
Federal and state grant money was vital to homeowners who needed to elevate their homes, Jackson said. "People would not elevate without the grant money. It was just too costly," he said. "Since the storm, I don't think we've done a single [elevation] that wasn't being reimbursed through the NY Rising Program."
Also a resident of the Nautical Mile, Freeport Deputy Mayor Jorge Martinez wrapped up elevating his home on June 6. He and his wife, Christine, had lived in a rental home for the last seven months after deciding to elevate their home. Practically losing everything but the clothes on their backs after Sandy, the couple was determined to be better prepared for the next storm, Jorge said. Elevating their home was the first step.
"The NY Rising Program is very frustrating," Martinez said. "The amount of paperwork, time and dedication is very exhausting. I'll tell you for a lot of people, this has been life-changing. There are a lot empty homes still. A lot of people couldn't handle it."
After Sandy and during the elevation process, Martinez said, the expenses and the bills piled up, not in the hundreds, but in the thousands of dollars. "The value of our home declined after Sandy," Christine said. "So, by making the decision to raise our house, hopefully, fingers crossed, the value of our home will increase again."
For Jagnow, there is no set date when construction will be complete. In her parents' back yard, she looked with a sigh at what is to become a patio door. "This house was worth [a lot] of money before Sandy. Now I think it's worth $300,000," she said.
If she had known all that she does now about the reconstruction process before she began it, she said, "I would have sold the house or gone somewhere else. But there are memories here. I wanted to fix it and start a new life. I just don't know what to do anymore. I have a business to run, a mother to take care of."

End-to-end Design and Realization of an X-band Transmission Analyzer
February 23rd, 2013 by Aileen Romero
The X-band frequency range has been designated for critical military and public safety applications such as satellite communications, radar, terrestrial communications and networking, and space communications. It is important to ensure that these signals deliver quality, reliable, and secure communications. This application note describes the design and realization of a complex X-band transmission analyzer for use in real-time material testing.
The purpose of this analyzer is to gather complex-valued X-band transmission coefficients at high update rates of greater than 100,000 measurements per second. This note describes how manufacturing costs were minimized by integrating the many RF components in the device onto a single printed circuit board (PCB), how coupling issues between the RX and TX paths caused by the requirement for high dynamic range were addressed, and how EM simulator based tuning was used for the numerous distributed elements on the board to ensure optimal performance.
The design team at the Vienna University of Technology was tasked with designing from scratch and realizing this X-band transmission analyzer . The design flow involved the design and optimization of several breeds of circuits, including critical elements such as bias-T and microstrip filters, all of which were designed using AWR's circuit, system, and EM analysis software within the single, integrated AWR Design Environment™.
The PCB layout was done entirely within AWR's Microwave Office® circuit design software. Additionally, AWR's Visual System Simulator™ (VSS) communication system design software was used to find an optimal RX chain and to estimate the phase locked loop's (PLL) phase noise properties. The PLL's loop filter characteristics were optimized using the exact same schematic that was also used for carrying out the PCB layout. Finally, AWR's AXIEM® 3D planar EM software was utilized for simulating the varied distributed element circuits, as well as to tackle shielding issues in the final PCB design.(Figure 1 shows all relevant RF-circuits that were investigated during this project in order to design the resulting final, outstanding overall system.)
Because all AWR's technologies are integrated into a single design environment, the team was able to easily reuse structures and circuits from system models down to PCB layout structures. For example, EM simulations of the actual PCB traces could be checked against VSS models to see whether the designed shielding was suffi cient. This approach enabled the designers to reuse highly optimized sub circuits in the fi nal PCB design (Figures 2 and 3).
Microwave Office software enables users to readily tune circuits based upon EM simulations. In this case, the design required that the X-band RF link, the high-speed serial bus, and the DC power supply be combined onto the same cable, thus requiring a bias-T for each and every X-band cable interface.
In order to reduce assembly complexity and manufacturing costs, the circuit was realized using distributed elements. A classic radial stub approach was determined to be the best, considering tradeoffs between PCB real estate, circuit performance, and board complexity. For reasons emerging from signal post-processing, two different-sized radial stubs were used to ensure that the circuit would perform consistently over about 30 percent bandwidth (Figure 4). Using two unequal stubs made it possible to achieve constant low RF leakage over a broad frequency range, however, this architecture was more challenging to design because placing resonant structures in close proximity resulted in significant coupling effects. Typically this is less of a problem when dealing with multiple structures, all operating at the same frequency. Yet in this case, the coupling effects tended to disrupt the phase relations if not all length ratios were close to optimum.
It was clear to the team that this issue could not be resolved using closed form approximations or simple models. For this reason, AXIEM and the Microwave Office optimizers were the weapons of choice. Numerous runs were necessary to fi nd a proper solution and to answer questions like "what's the required clearance to the surrounding ground?" In the end, the same circuit was reused several times within the overall design without any issues.
The inner workings of the circuit could be understood using the current density derived by AXIEM (Figure 5).
The current density's maximum, which is equal to the phase center of the RF refl ect, shifted with respect to the excitation frequency. This resulted in a frequency-independent virtual RF open exactly at the branch line intersection with the RF path. This was observed as current density minimum at this position. Therefore, the branch line was virtually "invisible" for the RF signal. All the RF leakage measurements as well as the simulations were combined, as shown in Figure 6. The final circuit indeed shows the desired fl at frequency response in leakage over a broad band and at constant low leakage.
The microstrip filter design was carried out by deriving an equivalent lumped circuit from the design's specifi cations. This representation can easily be reformulated in terms of characteristic impedances, which is the starting point for any distributed filter design. After that, it is up to the designer to choose a transmission line topology that 1) can realize all the desired impedances, 2) enables a compact setup, and 3) can be manufactured with an available PCB process. In this situation, the Microwave Office software environment assisted the design team with various tools like TX-Line® and simple transmission line models available for many topologies. It further enabled the designers to quickly gauge whether a certain substrate, topology, and tolerance mix could work. These decisions are critical to the overall success of the design and must be carefully considered.
The challenge with designing the microstrip fi lter for this project was that the substrate needed to be quite thin in order to achieve a compact design in a 50Ω microstrip stack up. It was also problematic for the PCB manufacturer to deal with very narrow coupling gaps. The design team needed to find an alternative to the classic edge-coupled microstrip design. The resultant design utilized two lines with higher characteristic impedance in parallel instead of a single line, which resulted in a larger range of achievable characteristic impedances. Figure 7 shows the two fi lters in stop-band and pass-band excitation. Even though the design was complex due to the extensive use of circuit parameters, the simulation power as well as the hierarchical design capabilities of the Microwave Offi ce software made it possible to run the same optimization routines on both circuits. This not only reduced the design team's time and effort, but also meant that the two blocks were exchangeable in the final design.
This application note illustrates a complete design flow for the end-to-end design and realization of an X-band transmission analyzer. The ability to not only design and optimize several different circuits on a single PCB but also to work through many design iterations and verification steps at different abstraction layers was critical to achieving the project's ambitious performance goals. Keeping design changes and parameter variations consistent through all abstraction layers was a challenging task that was made possible and ultimately successful with the help of the AWR Design Environment that offered complete integration of all the constituent design and verification steps.

text: Have the beta and wow, I must say it is very very very nice. While still pretty buggy since it is still the first beta. I feel like it is a change in the correct direction for the operating system. Using it is much different then just looking at it. I was worried at first from such a drastic looking change but I can assure you this is still very much Apple we all love.

The ease of information exchange on our computers monitors has highlighted the role of written communications as opposed to verbal communications. Recently, one issue has raised considerable controversy between the readers. This is the issue of whether to use the word "Allah" or the word "God" when we are speaking about our Lord. Invariably, there seems to be someone who feels offended that we use the word "God" when we talk about the One and Only God (Allah in Arabic). It is surprising to notice that many Muslim brothers and sisters do not know that the word "Allah" is the Arabic word for the word "God". Many of them believe that "Allah" is the actual name of the Muslim God! They do not realize that the word "Allah" does not belong exclusively to the Muslims and that it has always been used before (and after) the revelation of the Quran by the Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians when they speak about God. Talking to English speaking people about God using the word "Allah" is very much the same like speaking to Arabic speaking people about "Allah" using the word God. It makes all the sense to show respect to the people and their language by speaking to them in the language they use. Insisting on the use of the word "Allah" which is the Arabic word for God immediately creates the illusion that "Allah" is a whole different deity than God of the whole world. It creates a god that belongs ONLY to the Muslims, and takes the universality of Islam out of it. Those who insist that Allah is the actual name of God are somewhat short on Quranic knowledge. Let us read the following verse together: "Say, "Call Him Allah, or call Him the Rahman (Most Gracious); whichever name you use, to Him belongs the 'Asma al-Husna' (most beautiful names)." 17:110 This verse makes the issue very clear. God here is telling us that He does not have one specific name ..... In God's infinite Greatness, there is not one name that is sufficient to make reference to Him. Indeed to God belongs all the beautiful names. The Quran lists over 90 names for God and not just the word Allah. We can call Him Allah, we can call Him the Most Gracious, or we can call him by any of the beautiful names that are worthy of Him. Whether we use the Arabic word for the name like Rahman or the English equivelant which is The Most Gracious does not make any difference. The restriction to use the Arabic words to call God is not a condition set by God. Moreover, if God wanted us to call Him specifically by the name Allah, He would not include the words ".....whichever name you use ......." in this verse. Moreover, if we analyse the word Allah we find that it is a combination of two Arabic words: Al .... which means THE Illah ...which means GOD The combination of the two words (the GOD) is nothing more (or less) than what the word GOD indicates in any language. The word 'Illah' has been used in pre-Quranic times, and it bears an uncanny resemblence to the Jewish word eloha, which also denotes God. Therefore, for anyone to claim that the word Allah is the personal name of God or that the word Allah denotes the God of the Quran must indeed revise their knowledge in the light of all the issues discussed in this paper. .

Nexans TXLP/2 Floor Heating Cables are UL Listed to ensure safety and are ideal for installation within a new concrete slab pour. The triple layer protection covering the heating wires allow installation in virtually any situation whether on a frame floor, within a new concrete pour or on top of an existing slab. Safe enough for a shower floor installation with 30 Year warranty. The quarter inch (.250) thickness works best inside slabs or in thickset mortar beds (not thinset).
The " 2 " designation is for Dual wire which minimizes Electro Magnetic Fields to nearly zero and means 1 lead per cable connects to the thermostat. Nexans also still manufacturers a single wire cable, but the Dual wire is easier to install and is more popular.
Nexans cables warm your floor for comfort and also warms people and objects and is not wasted by heated air collecting at the ceiling. Instead the warmth stays near the floor where we live allowing thermostats to be set at lower temperatures.

Most of you won't be able to bring mom breakfast in bed Sunday morning. Some of you might be incapable of getting out of bed yourselves. But just because the nature of the holiday evolves as sons and daughters get older (and mom stays the same age!), doesn't mean you should discount more mature celebration rituals.
As you can see from the picture above, Murray Hill's Rodeo Bar is cutting to the chase and admitting that after a certain age, time spent with family more or less requires an alcoholic IV drip. Bring your mom to the Tex-Mex honky tonk and you'll both get a free shot of tequila. Rodeo is also a killer place to take in live country and blues music. You might be singing the latter after your mom asks you, for the umpteenth time, why you're still single and haven't found a better job.
Here are some other mother-centric ideas:
Mama's Food Shop. 200 East 3rd Street, East Village. Mama's has been serving comfort food to homesick East Villagers since 1995. For the rock bottom price of $12, you get an entree (choices include fried chicken and bacon-wrapped meatloaf) and a side (mac & cheese and, for the communists who'd consider another option, potato and beet salads among others). Bring mom. Just don't tell her Mama's does the staples better than her.
Mama's Bar. 34 Avenue B, East Village. Like so many families, Mama's Bar is estranged from former parental unit Mama's Food Shop. And like even the most dysfunctional broods, they still can't get away from each other. The grungy and incredibly cheap bar is right next door to the restaurant and lets you order in its namesake's food despite any squabbles.
Mexicana Mama. 525 Hudson Street, West Village. A Village Mexican staple not far away from the rowdy Tequila Flats, Mexicana Mama features healthy-ish burritos and tacos in a serene setting. Convince your mom your diet isn't slowly killing you before relapsing on Monday.
Don't Tell Mama: 343 West 46th Street, Hell's Kitchen. Perfect for the people whose visiting mothers result in a missed therapy session. Do like the Piano Man did and drown your sorrows while belting out American standards. Or listen to stand-up comics work out their own mommy issues through laughter. After all, what mama don't know won't hurt her.
Speaking of people in need of a shrink, if you hurry you can catch Real Housewife of New York Jill Zarin hawking and signing her book Secrets of a Jewish Mother from noon to 2 pm today at the 21 Club. But as with all motherly advice, take it with a grain of (kosher) salt.

Riding the waves has long-since been a pastime of those that live on the beach and the multitude of stellar surfing sensations that have recently hit the market are making the sport more accessible.
Fashion editorials are frequently featuring models poised in the laid-back style of the surfing life and an influx of customizable wet suits allow riders to board in style.
Specially designed pools mimic the motion of the ocean to allow newbies to give surfing a test run before they go out into the open water and a two-year course is even being offered to students in the UK that teaches wannabe beach bums how to skim atop a rip curl.
Everything from individualized boards that go from street to surf and crazy animal surf contests have opened the sport up to a whole new market while enhancing the lifestyle of long-standing wave riders.

A review of Chemistry.com: Online matchmaking for singles who want to cut to the chase.
Your single self may be a product of nurture and nature, but your relationships are a product of compatibility and chemistry, or so says Chemistry.com, Match.com's sister online dating site. Chemistry.com differs from its sibling site since it targets singles who are serious about finding long and meaningful relationships.
Chemistry.com uses extensive personality profiling to access the personality type of its users and hand-select compatible matches. The fancy-schmancy personality profiling is based upon the work of biological anthropologist and expert on human attraction, Dr. Helen Fisher.
The Chemistry profile consists of 100-plus statements such as "People should behave according to established standards of proper conduct," and "I feel emotions more deeply than most people." Users choose from four responses on a scale of strongly disagree to strongly agree.
While inarguably tedious, parts of the personality quiz are fun when compared to the bland questionnaires on other dating sites. Games, pictures, "name this novel" and "interpret this voicemail" offer an interactive break from the seemingly endless supply of questions that oft feel trivial. A favorite: Of four people pictured, which would you buy a used car from? I'd love to know the science behind this one...
After the extensive profiling process has been completed, users are categorized by major and a minor personality type, and matched accordingly. For instance, I'm a negotiator/explorer who is especially well-suited for director/negotiators. Who knew?
If it sounds complicated, fear not: every match comes with a page explaining why you and said-match are compatible. If you "buy" it, you can buy it: A basic one-month plan costs $49.95/month, or as little at $26.65/month for the six-month plan. Non-paying users can browse and rate matches but can't initiate contact. Coughing up the cash allows users to contact matches and refresh up to five, daily, after rating each match on a slider scale that ranges from "fizzling" to "sizzling". Thereafter, matching criteria is adjusted to accommodate user preferences.
Contacting matches is done through a four-step guided communication process. Even if you and your match are comfortable, there is no step-skipping on this site. Chemistry.com also offers the First-Meeting tool, which essentially helps you plan your first date. After the date, you can submit your feedback and Chemistry.com will tell your match whether you'd like to meet again. While these features may seem clinical, they're a blessing in disguise for first-time online daters.
The Chemistry.com experience feels very personal- much more so than browsing and striking up a conversation with any old profile you find yourself. From matching to meeting, hand-holding is provided every step of the way, so control-freaks would do better to online date elsewhere.

A couple years ago I had really extreme performance issues with my Internet connection. Every time µtorrent (a very small but awesome Windows torrent client) was active, surfing speed went slow. While downloading a torrent the amount of connection caused by it brought the surfing speed to a level were it wasn't fun and Online gaming wasn't possible anymore.
I tried all sorts of different things till I found an increasable piece of software made by a German company called "cfos Software GmbH". The program cFosSpeed shapes your Internet traffic in the way that time relevant services, like surfing, talking via Skype or playing online games get a higher priority. Having a download that runs with 1,5MB/s instead of 1,6MB/s isn't that bad, in fact you won't even realize it most of the time. But a website, that needs 5 times the time to load, a phone call that misses words or a lag of some seconds in an Online-game are nothing you want to have.
cFosSpeed costs only 14.90€ (≅ $18.06) and comes with a Lifetime Update meaning you buy it and ALL future updates are free. The software is windows 7 compatible and even offers a x64 version. It supports a high variety of languages.
I've been using the software for about a year now. Updates come like once a month and you can pretty much use the software out of the box without making complicated configurations. Still, there are many settings you can change if you feel the urge to do so. These settings are explained well so you don't screw up anything.
15€ is a great deal for what you get here, so If you have problems with programs slowing your Internet down, cFosSpeed is the way to go. Download the software, try it and if you like it, buy it.
Edit: If you don't know where to get your torrents then check out this article: https://www.cloudwards.net/alternative-torrent/

25 Days of Christmas Giveaways: Day 6 from Rejuva Minerals
Congrats go out to the winners of Days 3 and 4! The THREE winners of Day 3's Pacific Natural Foods soup starters pack are: Ashley B., Nora A., and Abigail S. The winner of Day 4's Thirty-One Gifts customized bags is Stefanie S. Thanks again to all who entered and who have been following along every day!
Today's giveaway comes from Rejuva Minerals, makers of truly pure and natural makeup. Conventional makeup is one of the easiest ways we put our bodies in direct exposure with heavy metals, dyes, titanium dioxide, fragrances, and a list of hundreds of chemicals I won't take the time to list today. Exposure to these toxins inhibits the immune system and nervous system instantaneously. If you have been to one of my toxicity workshops, you learned that makeup and your skin care products are at the top of the list to throw out and switch to truly pure and clean.
Take a look at Rejuva Minerals' website and the variety of makeup products they have to offer. You'll see right at the top of the page they clearly state everything that is NOT in their products. They proudly show a low toxicity rating on all 52 products their company makes on the EWG Skin Deep scale. I love it when companies make it easy to find the information we want to know and don't try to hide anything from us! If you have sensitive skin, you can wear these products. If you're passionate about your health and only want to use the best, you can wear these products with trust. Take a moment to read more about the company's background and meet the lady behind Rejuva Minerals, Brenda Hyre.
I was first introduced to Rejuva Minerals by a friend. After that, I started to see the brand popping up online and on TV, so I took it as a sign and made my first purchase. I think I even remember reading a write up about them in Spa Magazine, after I saw here that they were featured in the past. I have been loving how their makeup makes my skin feel and look! And I like that you can use their powders as-is or mix them with a little bit of oil to make a paste (I personally use a little bit of coconut oil, but they also make a face oil for this). I do that with the powder foundation to make tinted moisturizer. Really easy and cost effective! A couple of my other favorite products from Rejuva Minerals are their eye shadow (I use the copper and espresso colors) and bronzer (I love it because it's mica-free as well as titanium dioxide-free!). Take advantage of savings here with online coupons!!
Soft Rose Blush!
"Soft Rose Blush, endorsed by Hollywood's Greenest Celebrity, Rachelle Carson-Begley, is one of our top selling products. Rejuva Minerals Soft Rose Blush was the very first makeup to be found in Rachelle's 'America's Greenest Home'! The petals from beautiful crushed red roses, found in our Soft Rose blush, are valued for their natural color and delightful aroma that they provide!" -- Rejuva MineralsThe blush shows a sheer matte finish in rose color with hints of pink when applied. A universal blush color that works with many skin tones! Your skin will look and feel so great with it on! Now get to entering!

Independent CEO Phil Clarke comments on the value of online recruitment
Online recruitment is an essential element of the recruitment process for us and for all our blue-chip clients. Using job boards and social networks is critical to building talent pools and developing a differentiating employer brand but it's only a part of the recruitment picture. Regular verbal and face-to-face communication with candidates and clients in order to match requirements, skill set and cultural fit are just as important, if not more so. An over-reliance on online recruitment methods, without a balance of experienced, skilled input from recruitment professionals is likely to result in lower 'offer to acceptance' figures and more candidates who do not stay the course.
The real issue is how best to select and assess candidates against the right criteria. Social media is an intrinsic part of the recruitment process and with networks like LinkedIn targeting employers directly, agencies increasingly have to add more than sourcing to their repertoire. With the online recruitment market destined to continue growing and the inevitability of new tools coming onto the market, the real question is who will become more empowered as a result and how is this going to impact the recruitment industry?
From the job seekers perspective, social media has given them greater direct access to employers and more opportunity to access information about the organisations they are interested in. However, on the flipside, online recruitment is more intrusive. Potential candidates are wide open to being approached by anyone with good sourcing skills, which inevitably leads to privacy issues. In this more fluid environment, there is greater potential for the candidate marketplace to become overly mobile as employees are more aware of available vacancies and more easily poached. This does little to encourage companies to invest in and develop their people if they are repeatedly head-hunted by competitors.

A job change and move resulted in a new workshop. This room has been a collect-all place for pastors to store their crap for the last 30+ years. It measures 7m x 7m and has a 3m ceiling in the center sloping to 2m on the sides. The back closet is now filled with some of what has accumulated over time. Some items hit the rummage sale, some the curb, some things still await a similar future fate and some is being recycled.
The biggest issue with the room is temperature. There is very little insulation and it is poorly installed; the room also lacks a heat source though a small AC unit may fit in the windows. Next on the list for the space is tearing out the ceiling. Someone has stuffed insulation into the ceiling and it butts up against the roof which has caused some rot and warping of the roof line, the up side is that a ridge vent has been installed all the way across. the whole thing is covered with tacked up ceiling tiles. I'll be taking down the ceiling next month, adding soffet vents, baffling and a new ceiling to help with the overheating issue.

But not all good words. New pic added. I've built a corral that is behind the bandsaw and hard to see for storing my longer pieces of scrap. The odd looking piece that was in front of the table saw is now just visible under the workbench and is a series of shelves built from scrap as was the corral. The planer is now off the bench and on a stand taken from a siezed craftsmen tablesaw. Not visible is the fact that I can now reach the area directly from the bottom of the stairs by filling several garbage cans with lots of useless junk. I'll be getting to the workbench soon.

It looks like a workable space to me and as you continue to improve it it will give you much gratification.

Russ, this looks like you have a nice shop in which to work. You appear to have plenty of room in there and the upgrades that you are planning will certainly make it a better place in which to play. Thanks for the pictures. It was fun to take a tour of your shop.

nice little setup, I like it cuz it's in the attic it looks like anyway. My shop is in the basement and humidity kills everything my floor is some concrete and some dirt so it feels slimy when it's humid out but it feels cool. I run the AC for a day or two and the ground still feels or looks wet it's also uneven. One great thing about my shop is it's two rooms cuz I just moved some stuff to the other side of the basement my neighbor/landlord/auntie doesn't use cuz of her age. I wish I could just have a fresh new floor put in. Sorry for the rambling you do have a great little setup that needs little work.

It is a sort of attic room, it spans the space above the kitchen and garage both of which were added to the house sometime around the turn of the 20th century. An undated map I just found at an auction, didn't get to buy it, showed the house as square and the architecture suggests it is an addition. The only issue I've run into is height, the ceiling is about 8' tall and slopes down to 5' tall at the edges.
bigike, my old shop was also the basement, the tradeoff is too hot/cold vs. too damp. For ease of going in any time and working the basement was nice, for having boards and projects stay straight and not shift as much when introduced to their new room I like the new space. Since most of my work time is around 1am the too hot hasn't been a big issue, too cold will be.

I got a hold of a little extra cash this week and decided to blow it at harbor freight for a change. It is amazing just how much money you can blow there without even trying despite their low prices.
First up was the dust collector. Wood had a coupon in it for 150.00, haven't seen better then that in a long time so I picked it up. At the moment I'm using the shop vac hose with an adapter to fit the 2.5" hose. I plan on a catch can, they have a local place that sells 30g sealed barrels for about 15-20 depending on the overall condition. For the moment I used duct tape between all the connections to tighten them up, made a noticeable difference in suction at the end of the hose.
Next up was a pair of stands, one for the grinder which I wish was a little taller an another for the scroll saw. Both these tools have been occupying valuable floor space by the workbench and table saw and have been a bit of a tripping hazard. Tomorrow I will cut up some plywood for the top of the scroll saw base and for the top of the cross braces so that the saw can be properly bolted to the stand and some weight added to the base.
I also picked up two packages of mats, these were 7.99 each with coupons. They make a bit of a difference temp wise on the feet and make standing a little easier on the knees. Hard to see in the pic but there is three of them in front of the lathe. Besides that there is one for in front of the grinder, one for the scroll saw, one for the drill press and a couple for the work bench.
The only thing not shown is a mover's dolly that was only 10.00 with coupon. Couldn't buy the wheels for that price. This will have a base added on top of which will be three sheets of plywood in an upright I-beam, the two insides of the i-beam will have brackets to hold my clamps. I plan to have it hold over 100 clamps so it will be a while till I fill it. One of the outsides will have wooden brackets to hold my lathe tools where they will be easy to see and reach while working at the lathe. Only thing other then that to do next week is build a scrap wood storage rack.

The Winter 2013 term is starting soon! I'll be teaching Long Pose Figure, Figure/Costume Quick Sketch and Figure Construction. For more info you can check out my class sidebar to the right, or visit LAAFA's registration page (I teach Thursdays and Sundays).
Here are some demos from my Long Pose Figure Drawing class this term. Once again, we've had some really excellent models and a dedicated, hardworking group of students.
This is the most recent demo done over the course of a 4-week pose. As with previous classes, I really encourage students to be thorough in their explorations of the model and tackle complex areas head on, always striving for an analytical understanding of the form.
Below is the demo drawing for our first 3-week pose, along with its corresponding muscular and skeletal breakdown.

The clean escape
An antiseptic, isolated hotel room or under a canopy of trees — where would you rather spend your next vacation, asks Shonali Ghosal
Pretty site From construction to waste disposal, the hospitality industry has tremendous potential for green activities
SOME TOURISTS are a bit like Groucho Marx. They don't want to go to a club that'll have them. That is, they don't want to go to a destination that's been ruined by tourism. Countries dependent on tourism have long been in a similar quandary. How do you promote tourism without killing the reason that tourists come for? An unenlightened tourism policy can be rather slash and burn for the ecology. International tourism generated $919 billion in 2010 earnings, but according to the Climate Neutral Network, CO2 emissions generated directly from the tourism sector account for at least 5 percent of global CO2 emissions today. Suddenly, eco-tourism seems a neat alternative to killing the golden goose.
Jose Dominic, managing director of Kerala-based hotel chain CGH Earth, nicely defines eco-tourism: "The focus is still on the customer but he comes after the environment and the local community." (Eco-hotels often avoid resource guzzlers like televisions, air conditioners and showers.) Eco-tourism is supposed to have grown 20 to 34 percent per year since 1990. Thomas C Thottathil of Cox & Kings estimates it to comprise 5 percent of Indian travel and growing annually at 7-8 percent in the country. Eco-holidays are especially popular in Uttarakhand, Kerala and Maharashtra.
The hospitality industry has many avenues for green activities, from construction to waste disposal to energy consumption, but many pretenders, of course, use the tag as an excuse for over-priced organic food in air-conditioned banquet halls. Still, there are some respectable Indian eco-resorts: CGH Earth is gradually disconnecting from the state grid and converting its jungle resort Spice Village to solar power entirely by October. CGH uses elephant grass to make the roofs of some of their hotels. The grass waste is turned into biomass and paper.
Subramaniam Srilal, a young guest who stayed at Le Green Resorts & Hotel's Belur Resort, says, "The resort is built in such a way that nothing in the environment is disturbed. Even the peacocks came in and out of the jungle freely. Staying there was worth paying more than I'd have in an ordinary resort." And there lies the rub — do you really want to pay more to live in a shack made of bamboo sticks in the middle of a jungle? Or holiday in a houseboat in the Kerala backwaters? On the other hand, are you more likely to remember a holiday in a factory-assembled hotel and ordered room service or the one where you lived on a dive boat and swum into coral reefs?
Currently, room service is winning in India. The demand for eco-tourism is largely from foreign tourists, says Sandeep Sinha, chief manager of Bengaluru-based tour operator The Blue Yonder. "If you try selling eco-tourism in a typical holiday market, it won't work. But the industry is growing," he says. Ecohotel owners are just as optimistic that customers will become more ecologically conscious and the cost of installing eco-friendly hospitality will become cheaper. And organisations like The Blue Yonder pride themselves on going further than just eco-tourism — their 'responsible tourism' ensures employment for the local community.
Even if you're less prone to guilt or simply refuse to forego the electrified life, you may prefer a resort that tries somewhere — good waste management, for instance. Or as CGH's website notes primly, "There remains the guest who cannot live without dance parties and bright lights. To him, we say, we respect your needs."

Nothing beats the texture of ricotta gnocchi and the salty sea taste of squid ink risotto. I was developing dishes for my friend Mayur Subbarao's birthday in 2009 and since it's madness to serve risotto at a party for 50, I decided to try making squid ink ricotta gnocchi for the pasta canapé. I served this at his party a bit of black truffle shaved and a black finishing salt on top, and served it again at Peerless Platters, but with asparagus and a slow-poached egg.
Whole milk ricotta
Parmesan, grated
Packet of Squid Ink
Stir together ricotta, eggs, cheese, squid ink, salt and pepper. And flour to make dough. Roll out dough into ropes and cut into 1 inch pieces.
Cook in salted water for 3-4 minutes. OMG, so easy.

The Nature Conservancy recently updated its Conservation Action Plan for the Gila Headwaters. This paper describes TNC's planning process. The process involves defining the project area, identifying conservation targets, assessing conservation target viability, identifying critical threats to these targets, developing and implementing strategies to abate these threats and improve target viability, and measuring strategy effectiveness.Download file (3 MB)
This regional assessment examines the impacts of temperature change from 1951-2006 on natural resources in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. It documents that warming has already affected habitats, watersheds, and species in the Southwest, by influencing the timing of seasonal events or amplifying the impacts of natural disturbances such as wildfire and drought. The report concludes that to begin adapting to climate change, natural resource managers should reevaluate the effectiveness of current restoration tools, modify resource objectives, learn from climate-smart adaptive management and monitoring, and share information across boundaries.
Agenda, climate change scenarios, climate change adaptation framework description, background information about climate change in the Great Basin, and other materials that were distributed in a notebook to all participants at the Bear River Climate Adaptation Workshop of May 2010.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) convened a two-day workshop entitled Climate Change Adaptation Workshop for Natural Resource Managers in the Bear River Basin on May 26-27, 2010, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The goal of the workshop was to identify management strategies that will help native plants, animals and ecosystems adapt to a changing climate and lay the groundwork for their implementation in the Bear River Basin. Thrity-nine representatives of 20 state and federal agencies, local governments, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations participated.Download file (4 MB)

The Country House Courtship is the much-awaited final book in the series by Linore Rose Burkard. I really liked the first two books and pre-ordered this one, but it has been so popular that Amazon just notified me that my copy cannot be shipped until the end of the month. :o( So, one of you will be much luckier than I will be. The author has agreed to send an autographed copy to a reader of my blog as long as I have at least 10 distinct comments.
The rules of the contest will be: 1. Leave a comment (+1 entry), 2. Become a Follower (+2), 3. Established Follower (+3), 4. Advertise the contest on your blog (+4), 5. Chances of winning determined by number of entries and dependent on enough people posting. 6. Void where prohibited. 7. Only U.S. entries allowed. 8. The contest will end on 13 Jan. That is the date I will announce the winner, so all entries and comments must be made by midnight the night before (Central Time). The winner is chosen randomly by a disinterested party (not me).
Now for the fun stuff!
Short description of The Country House Courtship
England, 1818: It has been five years since Ariana Forsythe married The Paragon, Mr. Phillip Mornay. Now, Ariana's sister, Miss Beatrice Forsythe, is seventeen and determined to marry advantageously as well. (Surely Ariana's society connexions all but guarantee Beatrice's success-especially if Mr. Mornay is created a baronet by the Prince Regent!
But the Mornay's have disappeared from high society as they raise a family at their country estate. Can Beatrice persuade them to chaperone her in London? And what about her business with the curate, Mr. O'Brien, whom Beatrice rashly promised to marry years earlier? She is too sophisticated now to settle for a mere clergyman-despite his agreeable countenance and gentle, understanding ways. When Mr. Tristan Barton becomes tenant of the Manor House, Beatrice's hopes seem to have found their object. But when Ariana falls gravely ill, secrets come to light, motives are revealed, and pretenses that are easy to keep up in the darkness begin to crumble. As hearts are bared and truths uncovered, a country house courtship like no other cannot be far behind!
Fans of Linore's first books, Before the Season Ends, and The House on Grosvenor Square, will be delighted with final addition to the Regency Inspirational Series, as will all readers of historical romance.Would you like to know more? Here's a link to read an excerpt from the first chapter:
Excerpt PDF from "The Country House Courtship"
What do you hope for when you get to the end of a series like this one? Have you read the other two books? I hope you enjoy the contest. :o)
