Although attendance at Glendale's annual Brand Park Turkey Trudge hike dropped from 20 people to three, the Metz family didn't seem to mind.
Part-time naturalist Dave Moreno, who leads the two-mile hike each year, was unsure just before 1 p.m. how many people would show up for the two-mile hike.
"But if anyone shows up, we'll go," he said.
Margaret Metz and her two children, Amanda, 16, and Sean, 8, arrived with just a minute to spare.
The Montrose family regularly participates in Moreno's hikes behind Brand Park, and Sean can narrate the trail by heart.
Moreno led the family in stretching at the base of the trail by the Doctors' House Museum and encouraged everyone to bring water.

This site is dedicated in providing recordings of Conference Calls conducted by Silvia Binder of ONDAMED, Inc along with actual results reported from practitioners around the world.
Female, 29 years old, 33 weeks pregnant, comes to the hospital with abdominal pain and mild bleeding (the source of bleeding wasn't discovered with the ultrasound), and gets admitted for observation.
After 2 days of No-Spa and Dexamethasone (and 2 hours of program 121 daily), the patient's placenta ruptured completely, with massive hemorrhage. Surgery was the next step, and inside the OR another surprise: the patient had asthma and her lungs reacted to the anesthesia. Lower dosage of anesthetic was used; the emergency c-section was done fast, the placenta removed and the bleeding arteries catheterized. 8 hours after the surgery, the ONDAMED treatment was begun again, this time with programs 128, 129, 90 and 98, each one for half hour.
The second day after the surgery, when the anesthesia was completely flushed from the patient`s system, severe pain occurred and the treatment used was program 84 for half hour at maximum intensity and program 98 for half hour, 4 times a day. The pain was slightly lowered during the treatments and came back between.
The next day the effect of the treatment was lowering the pain to half, and on the third day all pain was gone. With no medication at all, no anti-inflammatories or pain pills (due to the lung condition).
Day 4 from the surgery the pain is all gone and we use 90 and 98 for the scar, 2 treatments of one hour for 2 more days and the patient fully recovered physically and is energized and active.

Hello blog world! Please welcome a guest post today all the way from Down Under! Sarah Q. Grey handles all the digital marketing for Today's Homes in Canberra, Australia, a custom home builder, that also takes into account sustainable options for creating the home of your dreams. Their beautiful website is worth a visit and when it comes to building your own home, there is no substitute for speaking with the experts. Here are three (3) excellent tips to consider when you decide to build:
3 Things To Consider When Engaging With A Home Building Company.
If you're looking for a home building company to build the home of your dreams, then there are a few things you should consider. Finding the right builder is not as easy as you might assume. There are countless options out on the market and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. To help you choose the best home building company for you and your family, here are 3 suggestions to help ensure you find the best company for the job.
1. Previous Examples
When looking for a high-quality builder it's essential to begin by asking about previous projects. Most experienced home building companies are able to provide a portfolio of completed projects to demonstrate their competence and quality in building homes. And it's important that you check these past projects out as a way of gauging whether a particular home building company is right for you. As we all know, building a home is a huge decision, and can be taxing both emotionally and financially. That's why one needs to put in substantial time with their research in order to find the right builder. Canberra home building experts Today's Homes always provide clients with past work examples, and it's important that whoever you choose to build your home does the same. When looking at previous examples, it's vital that you inspect these properties in-person (if possible) as this is the only way of making sure the portfolio being presented is not falsified to woo the client in.
2. Communication
Meeting and talking with a prospective home building company is doubly important. When it comes to such a substantial investment, it's important that both parties can communicate effectively. This is to ensure that both client and contractor are on the same page in regards to the planning and implementation of the home building project. Make sure you speak with prospective builders face-to-face, and not just over the phone. Sure, you can't expect to meet with them all the time (after all, builders are generally pretty busy people!), but you need to have had at least one face-to-face meeting to ensure that both parties are a good fit for each other.
3. Pricing terms
Building a home is a huge investment, and sometimes we can go over budget in the pursuit of our very own dream home. That's why it's important that you talk with any prospective building company and ensure that you agree on a final, fixed price for the project. Sure, things change during the construction phase, and you'll have to foot the bill for any changes you make to the original plan. But it's essential that both parties are clear on just what is included in the final price. Unfortunately there have been many cases in the past where a client was left in legal trouble when a builder decided to up the rates during construction. Get everything in writing, and make sure all important documents are signed. That's the best way to ensure that the job is done properly and within budget.
Finding the best home building company to build your home can take some time. But stick with it. In the end, having a home you can be proud of is worth it. Consider the above tips and suggestions when hunting for a builder, and no doubt you'll soon be on your own way to owning a home you can be proud of.
Are you ready to move forward with your dream home?

It's a really versatile little top, easy to wear and looks a little more put together than a t-shirt over jeans or capri pants. Like the yellow version, this coral colour is also a good pairing for neutrals and denim, or can contrast very nicely with cornflower blue or khaki green. I found a perfectly matching, vintage button here for the fastening. The fabric is a cotton and polyester mix, which is light for the summer, washable and easy to care for and also relatively crease free.
I added two little bra strap holders this time as the shoulder straps are cut quite high and I found that my bra straps sit naturally a little lower on the shoulder. This has just required the addition of two strips of fabric (made in the same way as the loop fastening at the back), sewn in at one side of the shoulder strap on this inside of the garment and then with a popper to secure the other end. I could of course have made the shoulder straps bigger to give more coverage, but I do like the shape as it is and the straps holders are an easy solution
This top has been good option for packing and travelling, which I seem to have been doing quite a lot of lately. Long, slow train journeys on melting tracks and overloaded air conditioning as well as hotel accommodation of questionable quality (no iron, no air con, no hanging anything in the shower to steam out the creases out due to non-removable/non-steal-able hangers) has meant that a capsule wardrobe of garments that can take a fair bit of abuse has been essential.
I'm pairing it here with an unlined, lightweight jacket that has a similar colour in the print. There are denim neck, sleeve and front edgings with metal studs, a great find from Peacocks last year (2014). Jeans are H&M, studded sunglasses from New Look, blue watch is Casio.
I spent most of my time away attending meetings to draft our our plans for work going forward this year. Although this did mean quite a lot of time holed up in meeting rooms while the sun was blazing outside, I was fortunate enough to get out and about see some art work, meet some great organisations and stretch my legs in some beautiful Yorkshire countryside. We spent some of our time at Yorkshire Sculpture Park on the last day of our trip - no outfit shots on location this time due to the hectic schedule! It's been a while since I visited this wonderful place and wander through the rolling landscape discovering works of art and sculpture. Here's a quick selfie of me outside the chapel gallery and Ai Weiwei's parched looking tree.
The sculpture packed a big punch in contrast to the architecture of the chapel. Check out the colour of those steel branches, fiery orange in the afternoon heat.
The setting at YSP is on an epic scale, with a whole valley to explore and discover. However the contemporary architecture and landscaping around the gallery is also breathtaking and I particularly love the shapes created by some very satisfying lines.
Those high contrast stone walls, steel handrails and deep shadows.
Yew hedge, steps and Henry Moore in perfect harmony.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Barack Obama should stay on track with his plan for a 10-year reduction in military spending of about $500 billion. We are winding down two wars, so troop cutbacks are normal. We recently ended a combat role in Iraq, and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta now says we will do the same in Afghanistan by late 2013.
Plowing the money savings back into equipment renovation, as some are suggesting, is wrong-headed. The federal government is struggling to reduce the federal deficit, and the military is an obvious area for savings, as was understood by the legislators who worked out last year's spending reduction package.
The real problem is that President Obama is treading too lightly with troop reduction. He would be well advised to take a page from the playbook of Republican presidential contender Ron Paul, who says we do not need to station troops around the world.
But President Obama is increasing our overseas deployments. In January, he announced the results of a Defense Strategic Review, calling for more troops in the Far East. "We will be strengthening our presence in the Asia Pacific," he said, "and budget reductions will not come at the expense of that critical region."
Why the Far East? Why is it "critical"?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said for several years that the United States has a strategic interest in the South China Sea, where China is contending with Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and others over rights to waters that may hide important oil deposits. Why we should have a horse in that race is not entirely clear. Involving ourselves in the South China Sea disputes may put us in the middle of sticky situations.
But President Obama is inserting troops in new places. He is negotiating with Singapore to station U.S. Navy warships at the Changi naval base there. He is putting troops — actual ground troops — as many as 2,500, into northern Australia.
Explaining the planned Australia deployment, Obama said, "It is appropriate for us to make sure ... that the security architecture for the region is updated for the 21st century and this initiative is going to allow us to do that."
Why we need a "security architecture" in Australia is anyone's guess. But within months U.S. troops and aircraft will operate out of the port of Darwin on Australia's northern coast.
Vietnam and Thailand are reportedly on President Obama's radar screen for future deployments. But his latest destination is the Philippines. The Philippines apparently is seeking protection from China, though it is unclear how U.S. deployment will protect them.
"We're not the only one doing this," said a senior Philippines official involved in the negotiations who did not want to be named, referring to the other countries in the region. "We all want to see a peaceful and stable region. Nobody wants to have to face China or confront China." The Philippines wants the U.S. Navy to station vessels near the South China Sea.
In the Philippines, beyond stationing naval vessels, we may wind up deploying ground forces and staging troop exercises.
What we are getting ourselves into, no one can predict. Two decades ago we had to dismantle bases in the Philippines because of protests. An insurgency in the Philippines would not welcome Uncle Sam. As GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul points out, bases provide anti-U.S. elements with easy targets.
President Obama has the right idea with military cutbacks. He just doesn't take the idea seriously enough.

Silvio Berlusconi has blamed the foreign press for his downfall.
The former Italian prime minister claimed his image was âruinedâ, insisting he had done ânothing wrongâ.
He said: âItâs something that the foreign press have all fallen for.
âItâs as if we have achieved nothing in the three years that we have been in power. My image has been ruined by things that are absolutely untrue.â
The 75-year-old, who resigned this month after losing his parliamentary majority, is involved in a series of sex scandals around his infamous bunga bunga parties.
Today, Nicole Minetti, 25, Lele Mora, 55, and Berlusconiâs best friend Emilio Fede, 80, stand trial accused of procuring women for the parties which regularly took place at the former leaderâs Rome villa.
On Wednesday, the media tycoonâs trial for allegedly having sex with an underage prostitute will resume, while he is also facing other trials for perjury and fraud.
For both sex cases, footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and Hollywood star George Clooney are expected to be called as defence witnesses.
Berlusconi is said to have been taped referring to himself as a âpart-time prime ministerâ because he was so sexually active.
Meanwhile, a survey in La Repubblica revealed half of Italians thought he would make a comeback.

The best shades of lipstick for fair skin are deep red, red with an undertone of purple, peach, orange and pink. Dark shades especially look great with fair skin tones, according to StyleCraze.
Bright red lipstick makes a bold impression against fair skin, and it helps to outline lips with a red lipliner prior to applying the lipstick. Red lipstick with a purple undertone creates a pinkish hue that is more subtle and flirty. Peach is a great shade to wear with nude eye makeup, and applying a top layer of gloss enhances the look. Orange lipstick is a playful choice for younger girls with fair skin. Pink lipstick in a matte variety gives women with fair skin a natural look ideal for every day.

Hella 165mm Rectangular ECE Hi-Lo H4 Conversion Headlamp Kit, H6545, 003177001
Sealed beam headlamps were introduced in the 1930s to provide a consistant quality of headlamps. Prior to that, headlamp design was left up to the vehicle manufacturer and lighting ability varried greatly.
The problem with sealed beams is that the lens, reflector and fillaments are all part of a bonded assembly. When the filament burns out, the entire lamp is discarded. Consequently, the sealed beam has become a commodity. As long as it meets the DOT standard, the only thing that matters is low cost. The DOT standard allows for a very loose pattern with a wide transition from dark to light. Many sealed beams still conform to the antiquated pre 2000 DOT standard that required 20% of the light go up to illuminate overhead signs.
All of this results in lamps that dazzle oncoming traffic and at the same time supply poor illumination of the road. The sharp low beam cutoff of Hella ECE lamps makes the areas that are supposed to be dark darker and the lighted areas to be brighter. We say that our lamps are four times brighter on low beam and twice as bright on high beam. Refer to the Isolux drawings at left.
- Low beam transition from dark to light in less than an inch, at 25 feet.
- Optical Quartz Lens.
- Silverized Polished Aluminum Reflector.
- Replaceable H4 twin fillament bulb allows use of modern high performance bulb technology.
- Direct replacement for 4652, 4655, 4737, 6545, 4666 & 4668 sealed beam.
- Tight Pattern allows optical aiming.
- Sold for off road and competition use only (;-)
Select the wireing adapters for your particular vehicle:
- 4652, 4656 & 4737 Sealed beams with Straight Ground Terminal. Normally cars with four headlamps.
- 6545, 4666 & 4668 Sealed Beams with Angled Ground Terminal. Normally cars with two headlamps.
- Two 165mm Rectangular ECE H4 Conversion Hi/Lo Beam Headlamps.
- Two 12V H4 Bulbs of your choice.
- Two Rubber Dust Boots.
- Two Wiring Adapters as required.

"Then relax your finger" could equally be described as "and then introduce a need for muscular efforts to stabilise both your elbow and wrist against collapsing under gravity- rather than allow them to balance effortlessly as part of a fully supported chain that is suspended from two ends". This is not an opinion, remember, but a scientific fact based on irrefutable mechanical laws. Anyone who sincerely feels that they can relax both finger and arm at this point (without sliding off the keyboard) is simply not living in the real world. Okay, perhaps they are talking about comfort, when they talk of being relaxed. But will it still be comfortable if they attempt a Chopin study at lightning speed? Any fool can play a single piano key and then slip into a state of feeling comfortable. It takes a lot more sophistication than that, if you want to start rattling off a Chopin Etude, however. It's not enough to think, "okay I'm pretty comfortable now" after each note and assume that means you are using good technique. If you don't understand the state that permits speed and work on that accordingly in your slow work, you can be as comfortable as you like. But that doesn't mean you'll stay comfortable when you try to go faster. I'm not arguing that you should be uncomfortable, of course! But there is a specific state of maintained comfort which is productive, whereas others may not be.
If the finger relaxes to the point where it cannot continue to maintain a chain in which the wrist and elbow are supported automatically, the only way to stop your whole arm sliding off the piano is to resist gravity with efforts around these points- efforts that will hinder the ability to absorb the reaction force with your next note, unless you let go of them again. At speed, the idea of this constant "on/off" necessity with the arm's muscles (supposedly to "protect" the fingers from the miniscule effort of maintaining the chain) is simply absurd. Some pianists may instinctively slip into the state of KEEPING the arm released in balance with the fingers when they go faster. But they are far more likely to do so if they have actually practised this sustained release in their slow work- compared to if they are relying on something as altogether different as the tension and release approach. More likely is that those of the tension/release school will end keeping the state of effort in the arm and not the release- after all they never practice maintaining a fully free arm. It's hard for them to learn a thing about how the arm and finger are associated within the balance that permits a free arm- because they are constantly seeking to depart from this state, rather than teaching themselves to make it sustainable. They spend all their slow practice training themselves how to be forced to hold the elbow and wrist in place- not how to use ongoing (but low effort) finger activities to enable true release. Okay, in some cases exaggerated arm movements may be used when the finger relaxes, to avoid the necessity of holding stiffly in the arm. But this provides equally little experience of keeping the arm still yet free- so it's still extremely likely that the arm will have to lock up when attempting high speeds. If you are intent on running away from the very interaction that permits release in the elbow and wrist, hoping to keep them loose at speeds where there is no time for exaggerated movements is little more than wishful thinking.
When you try to only the move the finger into the key, separately from the arm, you cannot do so. The reaction force pulls at the whole arm as much as the key. So if you are intent on keeping the arm still you are likely to stiffen it (as if it were held in space by a vice) and force it still. That is most certainly NOT something that ought to be described as "finger isolation"! That is a case of dealing with the consequences of the finger's action in a stiff, unhealthy way by adding efforts all over the place. It's the stiff arm that makes it unhealthy- not "finger isolation". However, the sheer vagueness in virtually all talk of the finger and arm acting together has caused as many problems. People start pushing or dropping onto every note with the whole arm instead of using the finger. This requires a complex chain of forces with countless variables that are very hard to control. Free joints become a hindrance to energy transmission- so (without exceedingly sensitive control) they tend to have to be stiffened into place. And as already mentioned, this quality of up/down movement of the arm creates a speed wall- unless the fingers start actually getting involved properly.

I've been meaning to work with parsnip. Sort of.
Because I see it all the time at the markets, and I know how it tastes
and the array of dishes one can make with it…
But I feel like it it often gets pushed aside.
Is it the name? Pars. Nip. Par. Snip.
I dunno.
To me, parsnip is like… if a potato and a carrot had a baby.
A nice, sweet, but awkward child that nobody really talks to.
Probably because its name is Parsnip.
(If I ever have a kid, its name will be Parsnip.)
And little Parsnip will make great gnocchi.
Parsnip Gnocchi with Caramelized Onions & Gorgonzola
This recipe is based on my Plantain Gnocchi, but I basically swapped out the plantain for parsnip. Parsnip yields a slightly sweeter flavor and pairs nicely with the onions and tangy Gorgonzola. You can also try folding in a bit of the cheese into the gnocchi dough… whoa… Also, when I made this, I was using half the ingredients as listed. The amount I made could feed two, so these quantities should be good for four peeps.
4 large parsnip roots, peeled and cut into equal sizes
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 cups flour*
optional: fresh or dried herbs of your choice (I used chopped fresh sage)
salt and pepper to taste
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup or more of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
*I used amaranth flour to make a gluten-free version, just because. I think the lack of gluten also made these gnocchi really tender, even after they've been refrigerated (which is good if you like eating leftovers straight from the fridge). Using wheat flour will likely make the texture a little more firm, but I don't imagine in a bad way, since that's what is traditionally used in gnocchi.
1) Steam or roast the parsnip until tender. I roasted mine (350°F for about an hour, coated in olive oil, salt and pepper) because I have an obsession with roasting veggies, apparently. Steaming might make them easier to puree later on though.
2) Once cool enough to handle, puree the parsnip in a food processor, using the eggs (and scraping down occasionally) to help achieve a smooth consistency. I also required a few tablespoons of water, FYI. Transfer the puree to a medium bowl, and gradually combine with the flour, until you have a dough that is easy to handle but still a bit sticky (if you need more flour, add a tablespoon or two at a time). Fold in the salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Set dough aside to rest.
3) Caramelize the onion by cooking over medium-low heat in a bit of olive oil. Stir frequently, until the onion is evenly browned and smells like angel sweat. Remove from heat and set aside.
4) Shape your gnocchi. Flour your hands and your counter top, or a large cutting board. As you can see, I did thumbprints (again). You can also roll the dough into a snake and just cut equal-sized pieces from that, or if you have any special tools or techniques, go for it. Once all the dough is shaped, bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. In small batches, lower the gnocchi into the water, and once they float to the top, take them out and set aside. Repeat until all the gnocchi is cooked.
5) Combine the gnocchi with the caramelized onion, reheating if necessary on low. Then transfer to a bowl and toss with the Gorgonzola. Enjoy while thinking about which vegetable you would name your child after. I also may consider Broccoli…

MEEP: Miracle Extreme Education Program
Here's a text I sent out yesterday (yesternight, actually) to the OakTable-list:
We're legacy. No new folks entering our fields. We secretly wish our children don't copy us. Universities are not teaching anything about databases anymore - they teach the fresh-faced, blue-eyed ones to create 'database-agnostic' applications.
So we've decided to try and build some new database experts via MEEP.
It takes three months of hard work, which means they'll need to also study at night -and they can be dumped/failed at any time, if they don't deliver.
The first one (his name is Jan Wigh) will start on this on Monday. He has been given Mr Kyte's latest book and he'll read a chapter per day (total of 13) including showing that he can do small tests on his laptop, etc. - he will be helped during the study by other Miracle guys, of course.
After that book, it's time for Lex' first book about SQL and SQL*Plus, and then other books will follow in an order we haven't decided yet, but they include James Morle's, Cary's, Tapio's, Tow's, Jonathan's CBO-book - and of course several Oracle manuals including Concepts, Admin and Application Development.... Suggestions are welcome. I know that Cary wants them to also read The Goal, for instance.
After two months on intense Oracle, we start introducing them to SQL Server (it is, pretty much, a subset of Oracle's good database) - but the main focus will be on generating new Oracle database experts.
During the course, they will be evalutated as individuals (can they read the books, do the tests, prove and disprove things, and document under which circumstances it was (dis)proved), as team players (they'll work partly out of Miracle Support) and as consultants/supporters (never give up, be nice, and all that). If we decide during the three months that they're not delivering, we won't hire them, even if they could become good people, but we'll help them find another job. It's either-or.
External people can participate (from our customers, friends, partners), and if they make it they'll be granted life-long membership of Miracle's internal techies-list (unless they do something really stupid).
These three months in Hell won't make them database experts, but it will give them the foundation.
While they read eg a book by Tom or Cary or James, they'll be introduced to the authors via email by me. Please treat them nice. James has suggested that we give then an extra challenge: Come up with a question that challenges the author :-) . I think that is not a half bad idea.
So they could end up with a solid foundation having read more serious Oracle-books cover to cover (and tried out things while reading them) than most ever do. They should also have a few good connections via the authors and the Miracle folks who'll help them during the three months in Hell.
Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
PS: I spoke to Juliette (Lex' widow) yesterday (she's visiting our museum and Denmark in general Monday and Tuesday with her new boyfriend called The General) and told her that it would be pretty hard for me to put the students in touch with Lex, but she said I should keep trying, and if it didn't work she'd be happy to answer any questions they might have regarding SQL and SQL*Plus :-))).
So now you all know... And Jan Wigh has created a blog where you can follow his progress (or not) during the 90 Days In Hell:
Jan - we're all behind you. Waaay behind you :-))).

Your FHLBank Atlanta Dividend: A Consistent Source of Value
October 2013 - FHLBank Atlanta offers many unique sources of value to its shareholders, ranging from structured advances and letters of credit to affordable housing products and educational programs. The Bank's dividend is another important source of value. It represents a return on shareholders' investments, and because shareholders must purchase stock as they borrow from the Bank, the dividend paid on those activity-based shares is, in effect, a reduction in the "all in" cost of borrowing the advance.
FHLBank Atlanta's activity-based stock requirement is equal to 4.5 percent of a shareholder's outstanding advances. Any dividends paid on a shareholder's activity-based stock lower the overall cost of an advance. This benefit is illustrated by the following example where a shareholder borrows a $5 million advance for one year at 0.31 percent. The required capital stock purchase for the advance is $225,000. Interest cost on the advance for 365 days would equal $15,715, while the dividend on the related activity-based stock at an average rate of 2.39 percent would equal $5,377. When factoring in a comparable alternative investment rate for the $225,000, the shareholder would achieve a net benefit from the additional capital stock of $4,680 and an "effective" total cost for the advance of $11,035.
The dividend's effect on total costs of an advance is more significant for shorter-term advances, but even for long-term advances, where the dividend will affect borrowing costs to a lesser extent, it still reduces the "all in" borrowing rate. The dividend payment and rate are not guaranteed and may fluctuate over the life of an advance.
Dividend History
The benefit of the dividend is particularly important because the Bank has a strong and consistent history of paying quarterly dividends to shareholders. In the last 10 years, the Bank has declared a dividend with respect to all but three quarters, during the height of the financial crisis.
The Bank generally determines a dividend rate based on a spread to three-month Libor and has established a target spread for the dividend of 50 to 150 basis points above average three-month Libor for a given quarter. Any dividend declaration is dependent on actual financial performance, the Bank's retained earnings balance, and approval by the board of directors. The Bank's ability to pay dividends also is subject to statutory and regulatory liquidity requirements.
Over time, the spread to three-month Libor for dividends has fluctuated. As shown in the graph below, in some years, such as 2003 and 2004, when interest rates were comparatively low, the Bank paid a spread that exceeded 150 basis points, the maximum of its target range. However, in rising-rate environments, such as in 2005, 2006, and 2007, while the absolute amount of the dividend rose with three-month Libor, the spread was more in line with the Bank's current target range of 50 to 150 basis points.
Past performance and dividends may not be indicative of future results, and shareholders should not assume that the Bank's future performance or dividends will be equal to past levels. While there are many financial and regulatory factors that influence the ability to pay dividends, FHLBank Atlanta's goal is to provide consistent financial returns to shareholders in all interest-rate environments.
For additional information on the Bank's dividend history or factors that may influence dividend payments, visit the Bank's website and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. To learn more about how dividends can potentially reduce your total borrowing costs with the Bank, contact your relationship manager.

Few days ago I formatted my laptop and again made it a dual boot, but this time around I installed Ubuntu 8.10 instead of Kubuntu's latest version and fell in love with it. I never liked Gnome but this time I couldn't leave Gnome, even though Kubuntu with exciting features of KDE 4.1 was also attracting me. So, as I was re-installing my softwares, I thought that I should install Secondlife on linux instead of Vista(as I seldom use Vista anymore), even though I was unsuccessful last time.
Step 1 : Download the tar.bz2 file from http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php.
Step 2 : Now use your file manager to reach to the location where the file has been saved and extract it by using an archive manager by double clicking on it .
Step 3 : After extracting move to the location where you have extracted the contents and double click the file named "secondlife" and choose the option "run" to run the file.
Step 4 : Enjoy your stay at the Virtual World.
This is the GUI approach of installing Secondlife on Linux, you can also install it by using the commandline.
Command line version of SL install on Linux :
Step1 : Download the tar.bz2 file from http://secondlife.com/support/downloads.php.
Step2 : Move to the location where you saved the above downloaded file and then type the following command
anmol@anmol-laptop:~$ cd sl
In place of "sl" the name of the folder where you downloaded the file.
anmol@anmol-laptop:~/sl$ tar xvf SecondLife-i686-184.108.40.206587.tar.bz2
Instead of "SecondLife-i686-184.108.40.206587.tar.bz2", type the name of the file that you have downloaded.
Step3: Move to the extracted folder using "cd" command and then on the terminal type "./secondlife" to start SL . Steps are shown below.
anmol@anmol-laptop:~/sl$ ls
SecondLife-i686-22.214.171.124587 SecondLife-i686-220.127.116.11587.tar.bz2
anmol@anmol-laptop:~/sl$ cd SecondLife-i686-22.214.171.124587/
anmol@anmol-laptop:~/sl/SecondLife-i686-220.127.116.11587$ ./secondlife
I hope, you'll be able to install Secondlife on your linux distro and enjoy your Secondlife to the fullest. 😀

Fifteen people in Glendale and Burbank were arrested early Wednesday in connection with a major healthcare fraud scheme — most of who were accused of being associated with a crime enterprise that submitted more than $100 million in bogus claims to Medicare.
Another four Glendale residents — Pogos Satamyan, 31, Andranik Satamyan, 20, Grisha Sayadyan, 59, and Allen Sayadyan, 30 — were arrested in addition to three other Van Nuys residents on suspicion of establishing at least eight fraudulent medical clinics in the Los Angeles region and submitting more than $17 million in fake claims to Medicare, according to federal indictments.
The scheme, which the FBI dubbed "Diagnosis Dollars," resulted in Medicare paying out $8 million to the defendants involved in the Los Angeles region operation, officials said. Nationwide, Medicare paid out more $35 million for the alleged fraudulent claims.
"Obviously in our city, healthcare fraud and identity theft are major public safety concerns, which far exceeds the capability of local resources, so having the federal and state and county support in addressing this issue has been significantly received in Glendale," Police Chief Ron De Pompa said at news conference.

[News] PSA: Saints Row: The Third + Season Pass (PC) $15 at Amazon
Published on
If for some reason you haven't taken the plunge into downright insanity that is Saints Row: The Third, now is the time. Amazon has the full game for only $10 and the Season Pass DLC for only $5! While the DLC was somewhat lackluster for the initial $20 asking price, $5 is an absolute steal for some of the series' most outrageous circumstances. Get in on this and start to playing one of my favorite games of all time. Ethical!
I should note that these require Steam to play. Let's face it, that makes it even more appealing, doesn't it?
Thanks, CheapAssGamer, both for being an awesome site and for pointing us towards these deals.

Welcome to New and Old Members - We need you!!
Can you help us win in the County Elections
As you can see from our recent digests, your local party is moving forward rapidly - and with enthusiasm - on a number of current initiatives of interest to High Peak families, whilst at the same time making constituents aware of the real interest that Lib Dems take in supporting the residents of High Peak.
In May 2017, less than 9 months from now, we face Elections for seats on Derbyshire County Council. Lib Dems hold just three County Seats out of the 64, two of which are in High Peak - New Mills and Whaley Bridge/Blackbrook. Both of our candidates are sitting councillors, but neither has a safe majority of voters, so we cannot afford to be complacent. We need to retain these seats in order to maintain our presence in the County.
Many of you have joined in our recent activities, and that is great, but many more of you might have experience that could be of benefit to the party in the lead-up to the County Elections.
So we ask if you would complete a survey of your interests/skills/talents that will enable us to get a picture of our members and help us to identify ways in which you might be able to help us to improve our chances of success in forthcoming elections.
All the questions are optional so you only need to complete those you are interested in
Many thanks for your time in doing this, and in case you miss this request please look out for reminders later in the year. We really do need your help.
Kind regards
Stephen Worrall
Prospective Parliamentary Candidate
Thank you for your interest but we are no longer accepting entries for this survey.

Second quarter profit boost for TW Cable
Revenue climbs 4% to $4.47 bilNEW YORK -- Time Warner Cable, the second-largest U.S. cable operator, reported a higher second-quarter profit Wednesday as it continued to add advanced service subscribers, but lost basic cable customers.
Profit for the traditionally slowest quarter for cable firms came to $316 million, up from $277 million in the year-ago period. Revenue climbed 4% to $4.47 billion.
Management had previously warned of weaker subscriber trends in the quarter amid the recession and housing crisis, plus intense competition from satellite TV and telecom firms.
TW Cable lost 57,000 basic cable subscribers, less than some analysts had feared. The company added 54,000 digital video subscribers, 88,000 high-speed Internet users and 103,000 telephony customers.

It's been a long time, but I'm so happy to announce that I have recorded another #Bit-O-Bio. This time, I recorded on a lesser known Artist. Yayoi Kusama was new to me. I loved her look and knew my students would too.
So here I was, this January day recording about Yayoi Kusama and her family support (or lack thereof), her obsession with dots, and need for Art in her life. Yayoi lives in a mental institution by her own choice. I wanted to address the healing powers of Art in her life.
I needed to cover someone with an eccentric look, someone who is alive. Someone who they might see in a gallery. Yayoi fit all of those requirements well. I also wanted to cover an Artist who had a style that was a good jumping off point to many projects. A teacher could move into repetition, shapes, lines, color... just to name a few from the principals and elements.
Another reason Yayoi was interesting is because she was an Artist of so many forms and mediums. She created sculptures, paintings, fashion, performance, and music.
|Image from Stephan Ridgway
My plan is to create my own Obliteration installation in my classroom that I will invite my students to interact with.
The #BitOBio's are getting better. As with everything, the more I practice, the better it get's. These Bit-O-Bio's are no exception.

Goh Ballet's The Nutcracker is holiday magic on-stage
A Goh Ballet production. At the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts on Saturday, December 14. Continues until December 22
The Goh Ballet's richly outfitted and rollicking rendition of The Nutcracker raises one question: how do you define perfection? Classical ballet is so often about perfect line, perfect form, perfect extension, and identical tutu'd dancers in tight rows. But perfection can also be tiny mice scurrying around a stage throwing cheese at toy soldiers, or a herd of velvet-clad little gymnasts flipping and cartwheeling out from under a gigantic hoop skirt.
The company's beloved, family-friendly Nutcracker had its wobbly moments on its opening Saturday matinee; even the nonstudent members of the program, the headlining Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince from the Royal Danish Ballet, nearly blew a lift and a landing. But there are so many treats stuffed under choreographer Anna-Marie Holmes's sizable Christmas tree that it's doubtful anyone noticed. The crowd, including the horde of little boys sitting around me, was having too much fun to care. In other words, no kids were squirming in their Sunday best—and that's definitely not always the case at other Nutcrackers.
It's easy to see, five years on, why the Goh's production has become a yearly Christmas tradition for so many local families. From the moment the curtains open on the Stahlbaum home's party scene, gilded out like a multiproscenium storybook with a gigantic chandelier and tannenbaum, you feel the warm embrace of the classic. The production benefits hugely from being able to keep its long-standing location at the Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts, now the Westside Church; there's a sense of festive formality yet intimacy to the auditorium.
From there, the show rides along at the speed of a horse-drawn sleigh. One of the best aspects of this production is the presence of Damien Carriere, a magician and illusionist in his own right, as Drosselmeyer. He literally conjures the magic throughout, making characters appear and disappear and generally keeping the action rolling along. Holmes never loses her sense of fun, whether a gingerbread man is getting his arm tugged off or mouse warriors are getting carted off on stretchers. Endless appearances by tots as mice, lambs, toy soldiers, and angels produce regular "Awwww" moments. And the low-tech but lush production design never scrimps, with a snow scene that takes place under gently falling flakes, complete with silver-antlered "reindeer" and a Bavarian fairy-tale castle off in the distance.
On the dancing side, the Saturday matinee had a particularly sparkly young Clara in Rachel Gibbs, and the tutu'd Dew Drop who led the flower dance, Risa Terasawa, was vibrant while pulling off some powerful fouettes. Teagan Richman-Taylor and Michelle Khoo were fascinatingly doll-like as the Harlequin and Columbine toys, and Snow King Diego Siqueira circled the snowflakes with well-elevated jetés. The Royal Danish Ballet's Sugar Plum Fairy, Gudrun Bojesen, and Cavalier Prince, Ulrik Birkkjær, look beautiful in the parts, and his variations include a spectacular set of scissor jumps (despite an unsure landing in the first show).
As usual, the players from the Vancouver Opera Orchestra were in top-notch form, keeping up a suitably swift tempo under conductor Kenneth Hsieh. Brenda Fedoruk's flute and piccolo and Joy Yeh's harp resounded with sparkling clarity in this production, though for an extended section of the second act they were drowned out by a screaming newborn. It would seem that even Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky's glittering strains could not soothe the savage beast, whose parents inexplicably tried to battle the bawling while remaining in their seats.
Perhaps, like so many other families in the audience, they didn't want to miss any of the holiday magic on-stage. Maybe Drosselmeyer could have helped make them disappear so the rest of the crowd didn't have the spell broken either.

I saw the show on Sat 21st - amazing. I loved the principal dancers in Sugar Plum, but was also so impressed by the talent of the Goh students. Snow was breathtaking, the bonbons and Mother Ginger rocked it and Dewdrop added a dash of joy to her flowers. Well done all!

Good to be King
By King Harris
I love the Christmas season, not just for the exchange of gifts and good tidings, but for all the great Yuletide songs leading up to it. Like this one:
"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Every-body knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
And so we're offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Although it's been said many times many ways,
Merry Christmas to you."
You just can't beat the traditional songs offered up by Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Gene Autry, Vaughn Monroe (whose "Let it Snow" isn't really a Christmas song but who cares), Ray Conniff, Percy Faith (whose two instrumental albums I highly recommend) and others.
When I was a kid, you could hear all kinds of Christmas music on one radio station, so you were exposed to pop, jazz, classical, country, rhythm 'n blues, rock 'n' roll and novelty. Songs created in the '40s and '50s are still played today.
Not a Christmas goes by without hearing "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Brenda Lee, "Blue Christmas" by Elvis, and "The Little Drummer Boy" by the Harry Simeon Chorale.
These are classics now, still. So is this one, written by David Seville, which went on to be a No. 1 hit in 1958:[Dave:] "Alright you Chipmunks, Ready to sing your song?
[Alvin:] I'd say we are
[Theodore:] Yeah, Lets sing it now!
[Dave:] Okay, Simon?
[Simon:] OK
[Dave:] Okay, Theodore?
[Theodore:] OK
[Dave:] Okay Alvin?…Alvin?…ALVIN!!!
[Alvin:] OKAY!!
[Chipmunks:] Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
[Alvin:] Me, I want a Hula-Hoop
[Chipmunks:] We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas don't be late."
If R&B and soul was your thing, you got songs by the Drifters, Otis Redding, Arron Neville, the Youngsters (whose 1956 "Christmas in Jail" is a scream); Doo Wop by the Melodeers and too many others, and "Run Run Rudolph" by Chuck Berry.
As the '60s arrived, many new groups entered the Christmas fold. "Sleigh Ride" by the Ventures was just one; "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" by the Four Seasons was another; then along came the Beach Boys with "Little Saint Nick" and "He's the Man With All the Toys," followed by the Beatle's perennial Yuletide offerings every season.
My favorite without question is Phil Spector's "Christmas Gift For You," a collection of his flock of artists in Spectorian rock 'n' roll fashion belting out standards. The album was recorded in July of 1963, and released the day that JFK was shot, so people weren't in the appropriate mood and Spector's adventure into new territory failed.
Today it is a classic, exemplified by Darlene Love's "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home:"
"The snow's coming down
I'm watching it fall
Lots of people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
All ringing in song
Full of happy sounds
Baby please come home.
They're singing "Deck The Halls" but it's not like Christmas at all
'Cause I remember when you were here and all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree I'm watching them shine,
You should be here with me baby please come home."
The most powerful Christmas tune ever, and I think Phil Spector's best cut. Don't forget the '70s which gave us seasonal tunes by the Carpenters, Jose Felicíano, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, the Eagles, the Kinks, and so many more.
Leave your radio on, and get into the spirit.

1: it supplies an alternative approach for MFA ( username user.cert and optionally a password )
2: no need to roll out a big MFA token soultion
3: it allows you to restrict a user.cert and profile for system admin logins
4: provides an option to lock down users from accessing a FGT to only just HTTPS but this still access via SSH for other users ( a PKI user can not access a fortigate via SSH )
5: works great if you have an existing PKI structure and have no restrictions for sign user.certificates
6: you could pre-sign users certificates for a future date and duration and revoke users access
Here's the summary steps of the deployment for pki-users deployments fortigates.
1: upload the CAroot for the user.certificates that will be sign ( very important the CAroot certificate(s) must be installed on the fortigates they will access )
note: you can have multiple CAroot-certificates install, but the root.certificate needs to be upload into the local fortigate CA storage. You might have multiple CAs that signs various users certificates or foreign CAs that you most import as required.
see this diagram of a approach for Enterprise and Contractor or Vendor, where you have multiple CAs that issues user.certificate for various roles , each users could have a unique role ( access profile for that user )
2: sign the user(s) certificates against the CAroot/key or have the user obtain a signed certificate.
3: issues certificates to the system-admin users and profile and grant accessprofiles
4: The user needs to import the cert+key into it's OS user.certificate list , typically this is in a pkcs format ( macosx, windows, must browsers, etc....)
5: The fortigate need a user-peer defined with just at minimum the CAroot-CAcertificate selected and optionally you can apply the CN and SUBJ fields to that PKI user peer details to scrutinize the user.certificates even more.
6: next you need need a user-group set for "firewall" with the pki peers added
7: finally you set the system-admin user names in the fortigate and set the define mode as peer-auth and the peer-group.
Here's a few snapshots of the above actions;
{ defining my pki details;
cn with 2nd factor password required ( optional but advise ) }
You can also defined more grainular the subject details from the certificate also;
TIP: use openssl x509 and the -subject to find the subject details
{ peer-group }
{ cli cfg details for my user }
with IE select the correct certificate to present;
Now we login via the HTTPS webgui and present the certificate and 2nd factor password if applied and if you did everything correctly you should be logged in
Using this approach, you could give your remote_contractors a user.certificate or have him supply his own certificate and you upload the CAroot for his user.certificate.issuer
If you control the user.certificate from your own CA signing structure, you could sign a user.certificate for duration XYZ , and never have to worry about restricting access a future date.
You could even sign a certificate for a future date and duration, and pre-issue access for a set of users and known that they can't access the systems until the date is valid. This is great when working with outside consultants or technology partners that needs access for projects.
If a certificate is compromised you can pre-empt the access and revoke the certificate /remove the pki user/ or CAroot.crt as an option.
Try to keep your own certificate simple. You subject field could only contain a CN only
Use the cli cmd debug application https -1 to troubleshoot the login process via WebGUI
If the status response is "1" than you have successfully login via two-factor and with the certificate.

|[en] Fluid management and assessment of organ perfusion in organ donors with hypotonic polyuria remain poorly investigated problems. In our protocol, urinary losses (565 +/- 202 ml/h) were replaced volume for volume by 3.3% dextrose/0.3% natrium chloride solution (Baxter) with 20 mmol/l potassium chloride. Concentrated red blood cells were administered to maintain hematocrit at about 30%, and volume expansion (central venous pressure above 6 mmHg) was obtained by gelatin (haemaccel) infusion. In all donors (n = 9), plasma electrolytes remained within normal limits despite hypotonic polyuria. Suppression of initial plasma renin activity (PRA: 9.7 +/- 3.6 ng/ml per hour) was obtained by subacute volume expansion. In eight donors the hemodynamic status improved, dopamine administration, when used, was discontinued, and PRA decreased (2.3 +/- 0.7 ng/ml per hour; P less than 0.05). The only donor who failed to respond to fluid therapy had increased PRA (24.2 ng/ml per hour). During fluid challenge, an inverse relationship was demonstrated between mean arterial pressure and PRA in all nine donors (r = -0.61; P less than 0.001), while there were no significant changes in blood urea. creatinine, or urine output. It is concluded that in organ donors, proper maintenance of the hemodynamic status and suppression of the renin stress response may be obtained by an adequate fluid management, involving both qualitative restoration and expansion of intravascular volume.

Gordon Ramsay, the famed British chef and recipient of 15 Michelin stars, is tackling the most American of foods—hamburgers, hot dogs and fries. But he's not just flipping patties and firing franks—he's grilling gourmet-style.
At Gordon Ramsay BurGR, the beef patties are a blend of short rib, brisket and chuck, while the "Devil Dawgs" are bathed in a "hellfire sauce" for 15 minutes before being grilled. Both are fired up over apple and alder wood sealing in the dawgs flavor and giving the patties "a slight fruit and smoky flavor," says executive chef Eric Mickle. Ramsay's signature Hell's Kitchen Burger brings the burn with its asadero cheese, fire-roasted jalapeños, oven-roasted tomatoes and smooth avocado to balance some of the heat. "This is our taste of the Southwest, incorporating a cheese that is traditionally used in making quesadillas," Mickle says. "Combined with the jalapeños, it's an exciting twist."
Unique choices on the frank side of the menu include a Fire Roasted Chili Dawg and a Pork Belly Dawg; the latter zesty wiener features roasted pork belly, pickled edamame, carrots, cucumber and sriracha mayo. Even the sides at BurGR receive a an epicurean touch with hand-cut truffle parmesan fries and sweet-potato fries dusted with vanilla powdered sugar and paired with honey-jalapeño mayo.
"Great ingredients will elevate any dish," explains Mickle. "We take special care to match our ingredients to create that 'wow' factor, keeping in mind that less is sometimes more."

Anyway, this summer has been pretty busy and quite productive, if I say so myself.
For one thing, I forgot if I mentioned this, but I am one of two Public Relations Officers for the Food and Nutrition/ Dietetics Club at my school for the upcoming year. I have so much planned for this position. It is a new position and we are playing along with it as the year goes on. I'll be updating the Facebook and Instagram accounts for the club. More will probably be added later but we'll see how the year goes! We had two officer meetings so far before the year starts and I think it's been pretty productive.
Another thing I want to mention, before I forget, is that I will be running the Urban Cow Half Marathon again. Here is my plan. I also posted this on my other blog, Hevil's Healthy Devil.
My time last year was 2 hrs 1 min 48 sec. I want to beat that time this year. That means I will have to train hard. Wish me luck!
I guess that is it for now. I have been super busy the past summer, which was kind of unexpected. I didn't know how my summer would turn out. I like how my summer is going though. Don't worry. I'll do my best to post at least once a month here. I will never stop posting here, even though I have another blog. I started off here and there's just a lot of memories here.
What have you guys been up to?
Have you guys ran a half marathon?
