ALAMEDA — Four games into the season, a Raiders defense recalibrated with takeaways in mind has yet to record its first interception.
"I wouldn't have believed it," safety-turned-cornerback Michael Huff said as the Raiders returned to work after four days off.
The modernized Raiders defensive scheme was one of the main storylines of training camp.
Mixing coverages would assure cornerbacks the chance to play some zone and break on the ball. Safeties would play "downhill" with a better chance to jump routes. More frequent blitzing and a stout front four would assure quarterbacks would throw before they were ready.
Instead, the Raiders have given ground steadily to an endless procession of short passes, most recently by Ben Roethlisberger and Peyton Manning, and Sunday will see much of the same on the road against the unbeaten (5-0) Atlanta Falcons and quarterback Matt Ryan.
The Raiders and the Detroit Lions are the only two teams in the NFL that have no interceptions. The Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars have the fewest sacks in the NFL, with three each.
"For us to not have any picks and only a few sacks just boggles the mind," Huff said.
Factors that have contributed to the Raiders struggles have included injuries and experienced quarterbacks who have been accurate and throwing quickly to avoid the rush.
Cornerback Ron Bartell (broken scapula) was lost in the opener for at least six weeks and Shawntae Spencer, the other starter, went down in Week 2 with a foot sprain and is likely out at least another week or two.
Huff was pressed into emergency service at cornerback with Pat Lee as the other starter, and Matt Giordano became the free safety. Roethlisberger and Manning were a combined 69 of 88, with the closest thing to an interception coming when Lee dropped a Manning pass right in his stomach.
Coach Dennis Allen believes it is up to his defense to force the issue, regardless of how offenses are attacking it.
"We call them takeaways, which means that we control them," Allen said. "It's not like the offense gives us the ball. We go out and take it away from them. There are things we can do.
"We've got to have 11 people flying around to the football like their hair's on fire. That's the way you play defensive football. It's been that way since the beginning of time, and it won't change."
Tyvon Branch is at his usual place among the top of the Raiders tackle chart with 58 but has just two interceptions in 52 games as a starter despite improving his coverage skills the past two years.
"We've definitely got to get some interceptions," Branch said. "Once we start getting interceptions, that will help our pass rush. Everything works hand in hand. We've got to start covering better, and the pass rush will start getting some sacks."
Teams have been attacking the defense so consistently with short passes Huff believes the Raiders may reach back into the Al Davis defensive playbook.
"That's when you've got to play (man-to-man), like the old days," Huff said. "Get tighter to the receivers, because obviously there's holes in every zone, so games like that you've got to play more man. So we'll see."
"He asked me, 'Where are you right now,' " Seymour said. "I told him, 'New England.' And he said, 'I'm in sunny California.' One thing I knew was how much he loved his players, and his players always wanted to win for him, because they knew how much he cared about them."

Giving Back - Time and Talent
All Saints' stewardship effort is not just about funding the operating budget of our Parish. We firmly believe that for all of us, our relationship with our money is fundamentally a spiritual
matter. Its implications for our lives in Christ are no less significant than prayer or our offering of time and talent to God.
Money has always been one of the major preoccupations of people in all ages. Jesus understood the implications of this and often spoke to the potential spiritual good or ill that rises out of our relationship to our money.
Money is a fearfully powerful reality! Let its power be used in your life to lift you closer to God who has given you all that you have and all that you are - let it lift you closer to God who loves you and wants to be in relationship with you.
So, whether you pledge to All Saints' Church or some other community that you are a part of, please consider giving a proportion of the gifts God has given you. Your life will never be the same again!
Giving back is not just about our money, but our time and talent too. Please read about the many opportunities to volunteer in our community and ways of Getting Involved.

Stories from our Community
"Two years ago I went to my first Agape meal with my son, who was five at the time. To my surprise, when it was time to pass the peace during the service, he greeted those near by, and then proceeded to greet others around the room, adults and children, known and unknown. I realized then that my faith community here at All Saints', was also his community."

Here's to a new chapter for the City of Norwich.
May 11th, 2012
Our client, Writers' Centre Norwich, have successfully led a bid to make Norwich England's first UNESCO City of Literature, joining an elite international network comprising Edinburgh, Melbourne, Iowa City, Dublin and Reykjavik. WCN created the bid document late last year which made the case for why Norwich should be awarded this status and be recognised on a global stage. On Wednesday this week, they found out that their bid had been successful.
We were lucky enough – and honoured – to play a very small part in the process. We designed and produced the bid document, which you can see here, as well as being able to read the full document here.

Casual Christianity | Part Two
by Dr. William F. Harrell
*This post was taken from Dr. Harrell's website and is used by permission
This casual approach is also affecting the preachers and staff people. Many preachers and music men stand before their church each Sunday dressed in a way that my school teachers would not have tolerated and would have sent me home to change. My mother used to make me get new jeans if a hole came in the knee. "Boy, you can't wear those jeans to school, they look terrible", she would say. But, the casual, contemporary philosophy is that one cannot "reach" the people unless they are like them. Quite frankly, from what I have witnessed, those church leaders who hold that philosophy are insulting their members. Are they saying that they dress sloppily because their church members dress the same way? Sounds to me like they are. The people of the world are looking for an example, not for someone like them. Unsaved sinners are sick of who and what they are and they are looking for something different….something to change their lives both spiritually and socially. They are made comfortable with who and what they are when they see pastors, staff and church people who don't seem to be concerned with what they are projecting. I am weary of being expected to condone the idea that the casual model is setting the right example and is acceptable. What does the lost person who is looking for an elevation of his life think when he sees a preacher on the platform looking like he just washed his dog, put on a sloppy coat, left his long shirt tail hanging below his coat hem and rushed to the church to preach? When the preacher and staff project the casual approach to Christianity that is what the people will adopt. Everything rises or falls on leadership and that is why a leader must make sure that he does not project the wrong thing.
The way people dress to attend church these days is downright dishonoring to God. When the pastor bites the bait of casual dress, it results in casual actions which breed a casual approach to God. Of course many in the contemporary movement will say, "God is interested in what's on the inside more than He is interested on the outside" Oh, really? Does one mean to say that because God cares about what's on the inside that He does not care about the outside and how we come before Him? If one were called and asked to be in the Oval Office within two days what do you think they would do? If they did not have a suit and tie they would go to the expense of buying one so that they could go into the presence of the President of the United States properly attired. But these same people think it is permissible to come before the God of the universe in worship looking like they would not go before the President. I think we should wear the best we have to come before God. I told the people of our church that if a tee shirt and jeans are the best they have, wash them, iron them and wear them to church. That is just fine. But if the best thing one has is a fine tailored suit then don't wear the tee shirt and jeans. How can the pastor be a proper spiritual role model for others unless he sets the proper example himself?
In the Old Testament God was very particular as to how the people constructed the Tabernacle. He outlined it specifically and the people followed his instructions. When it came time to give the instructions on how the Priest should be clothed, he designed the wardrobe very specifically. He told them how the head piece should be made. He designed the breastplate very intricately as well. The garment of the Priest was designed a certain way because that is the way God wanted the Priest to come before him. Now, why is that? It is because He is God and He can require anything of us that He desires. When He speaks, that settles it. The same God is on the same throne and He has not changed His mind about how we come before Him. Of course, if the object of the worship experience is the people and how they feel about things then the dress down code is just fine. Whatever makes one comfortable is the order of the day. But, if the object of the worship experience is focused on God then we are faced with a different set of expectations. And, we must admit, that if He is not the focus then it is only an event and not true worship.
What Jesus did on the cross was not casual and it should be honored for what it was and is: the act of God whereby it was made possible for us to be taken from darkness to Light; from being lost to being saved. It is the most profound thing ever performed on planet earth and should be honored as such. This does not mean that our people should attend worship wringing their hands, bowed over with faces depicting grief; somber in all we do. But it does mean that we should give the worship of our Lord far more honor than we are giving it today.

Choose your travel wear based on your destination, the duration and nature of your travel. For short duration travel, opt for a cabin baggage. This saves you the trouble of standing in check-in queues, or waiting for your baggage on arrival. Besides, by keeping everything to you – there is less chance of errors. If you are traveling for business – you could opt for a mobile office, which neatly secures your laptop along with other belongings. For longer duration travels – pick a bag that suits your requirement and your personal style. You could choose trendy, bright colored bags which can be identified with ease. If that's too radical for you, try out the easy identification luggage tags that are unique and stylish.
Airline restrictions are very particular with respect to excess baggage. When going on leisure trips or holidays choose a bag that is light – so that you can pack more and shop more! Most importantly, choose a bag you can trust. Whether it is the rough airport transfers, or your hotel rooms –ensure the safety of your valuables and other belongings.
A trip would of course rejuvenate you. But, being well prepared while on a vacation is the best way to thoroughly enjoy it. Imagine, you visit a place for the first time, but no clue of how to proceed further upon arrival. No one would like to go through such an unpleasant experience.
Reaching a tourist destination spot can be by airways, sea route, or via a train, but doing a little bit of research about the place would mean a lot. There is aplenty of online travel guides to provide travelers with required tourist information. If you have a rough sketch of the airport or railway station you arrive to, you will be able to fairly manage the commutation in the city. Like to make it even simper? Then go for airport limousine or book a hotel that offers pick up facility. Opting taxi for this purpose wouldn't be a wise decision, especially when you are unfamiliar with the place.
Wherever you go, it is worth carrying a travel map. A destination guide book will also be a good companion. If you feel that assistance is a must to go further, just check with any of the airline staff. In many airports, the concerned place's tourism department have assistance booth to guide people on arrival.
Incidents, especially repulsive kinds, are unexpected, and hence being attentive at akk tunes can avoid worsening a situation. So, during vacation, make sure that your belongings like cash, cards, and documents are secured and kept out of scandalous reach.
You cannot just be running around the airport to withdraw money. Before you head off for the trip, have some amount of money converted to the local currency. Keep a small amount of cash at an easy-to-reach place, so that you do not have to open your wallet every time you need to make a payment. This way, you can protect the large sum of earnings from getting lost.

Hotels, especially those of four and five stars category are usually safe; providing you with an electronic safe in the room and over at the reception area. Security guards and cameras are always operating 24/7 to ensure that all security measures is being taken. However, things do occasionally disappear, sometimes without the owner ever knowing that they have gone. So here are a few tips to avoid your valued possessions from taking a walk:
If the hotel has an in-room safe, use it and keep all your valuables in there. However, if the safe is electronic, wipe the touch keys with a damp cloth first before operating it, and then dry it before entering your secret code. Try to do this every time when you use the safe.
Also, after you have keyed in your code and closed the door firmly to lock on the safe, press all the other keys that do not make up your code. Doing this may set off a small alarm from the safe but it stops quickly and no one will pay any attention.
The reason to do this is because certain hotels have caught their own hotel staff placing a light oil residue or powder onto the touch keys. This enables them to see which keys are being pressed, using a torchlight to see the surface. They managed to open the safe, and one very clever thief took only 1 or 2 US$ from each room. Would you have noticed? It is not a lot, but in a 400 or 500-room hotel, the guy was doing quite well for himself.
Never leave valuables in soft/material bags with pockets even if they are padlocked like Alcatraz. Never get drunk and invite a stranger to your room. This seems funny, indeed, but better be safe than sorry.

How can I protect my health when I travel?
If you have any food allergies, keep in mind the names of those foods in the languages used in the countries that you'll be visiting. This way you'll be better equipped to stay on the look out for them.
Find out what types of diseases are common to the area you'll be visiting and take actions to prevent your exposure to those diseases. Find out what types of vaccinations you will need to enter the country, there may also be medications you'll need to take before, during and even after your trip. Get your vaccinations early in case you have a reaction and need some recovery time.
You should consider a dental appointment if you haven't had a check up in a while.
Be careful what you eat and drink. Carry complete health information with you on your trip.
Where can I find information that will help keep me healthy while traveling?
http://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_web/home.html – The Ministry of Health Singapore provides updated information of local and international health updates.
www.cdc.gov/travel/ – The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Travel Information web page. This site contains updated information and articles on diseases. It also includes guidelines for travel to areas that have suffered a recent natural disaster. The most valuable section of the site is the destinations section. This area of the site contains detailed specific information on diseases common to particular regions of the world, along with the recommended precautions and vaccines advised to avoid those diseases.
www.who.int/ith/ – The World Health Organization's Geographical distribution of potential health hazards to travelers web page. This site contains information, divided by regions of the globe, on potential health hazards for travelers within that region.
How can I protect myself while traveling abroad?
When you are traveling abroad, don't forget that drinking another country's water can be dangerous. Stick with bottled or boiled water and carbonated soft drinks. Wipe the tops of cans before you drink; otherwise, bring some straws to use for drinking. Avoid raw foods, as the risk of contamination is high.

What credit cards do I need to take with me?
Take your major credit cards, such as, Visa, Master Card and American Express. Make sure they are really credit cards and not just debit cards with a credit card company's logo on them. Many locations require a credit card and will not accept a debit card, so they may have limited use on your travel. Leave all your local store credit cards in a secure location at home; there will be no need to carry them with you.
Why should I contact my credit card companies before I leave?
You may want to notify them of your trip as they might delay your transaction if they are unaware that you are out of the country. The unfamiliar spending patterns might cause them to suspect that the card is being used fraudulently and delay your approvals.
How can my credit card company help prepare me for my trip?
You can arrange to pay bills that will come due at your own convenience while you are gone. They are aware that you will be making charges from another country. They will be able to give you an idea of how acceptable their credit card is in that particular country. They can verify acceptance at certain foreign locations. They'll be able to see if your PIN number will work in the countries you are visiting. They can also issue you another PIN number if your current PIN is unacceptable to the foreign bank's system. They can explain cash advance, ATM, foreign purchase and foreign exchange rate policies and fees. They may need to give you another phone number to call in case you need to reach them. The number listed on the back of your card may not work from foreign locations. You can find out if they charge a currency conversion fee, so you can find the most economical card on which to place your foreign purchases.
What should I know about using travelers checks?
Whether the particular brand of traveler's checks is accepted in the country you'll be visiting.
How widely they are accepted within the countries you'll be visiting.
Any fees for purchasing and using the travelers checks.
The travelers check company's loss, replacement and refund policies.
How can I protect my travelers checks while traveling?
Take the same precautions you would to protect your cash. Be sure to learn and follow the procedures required if you lose your travelers checks. You'll also need to make copies of your traveler's checks before you go and keep them separate from the following information:
The serial numbers of the travelers checks.
The denomination of the travelers checks.
The date and location of their purchase.
The phone number to call to report when you lose the check.
Cited from : http://www.alltraveltips.com/traveltips.shtml
How can I protect my safety while traveling abroad?
Do relevant researches in order to know the particular risks abroad. Read up on the local news through internet in order to keep updated on the current situation. Register your whereabouts with the Singapore Embassy if you are staying longer than two weeks or visiting a particularly dangerous area. Be careful when choosing your hotel and transportation providers. Leave the valuables in the hotel's safe. Don't draw attention to yourself, avoid wearing flashy jewelry and don't display large amounts of cash. Carry only enough cash to make it through the day and leave the rest in the hotel's safe.
Avoid traveling alone. Be careful about sharing your traveling plans with strangers. Stick to the main roads and avoid taking shortcuts down narrow alleys and/or poorly lit streets. Stay alert and always be aware of what is going on around you. Only use taxis, tours and other transportation services with official markings. Only select transportation from official pickup points at transportation hubs.
Be very careful if you are asked to sell or part with your personal items. Many countries have restrictions on items that foreigners can sell or give away as you can get into serious trouble for violating those laws. Never accept gifts or packages from unknown parties. Don't accept items from locals to carry out of the country and deliver or mail to someone they know. Approach any "special deals" with caution, especially if you have to go off the beaten path to get them. Know the laws about exchanging money. Only use official exchange facilities since this is another area that can get you into trouble fast.
Where can I find information on travel notices ?
http://www.mfa.gov.sg/ – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Singapore. This site contains detailed information on foreign countries' entry requirements, safety, crime, medical facilities, traffic and aviation safety, customs, criminal penalties, and special issue information. It also includes contact information and web links to foreign Embassies and Consulate offices.
Singaporeans in distress overseas can seek consular assistance during and after regular office hours. However, please note that the nearest Singapore Mission at your destination may not necessarily be accredited to the country you are in. If there is no Singapore Mission nearby, you may wish to call the MFA Duty Officer in Singapore at (65) 6379-8800.
How can I avoid being the victim of a pickpocket?
Don't travel in narrow alleys or poorly lit streets.
When possible, avoid having crowds of people surrounding you.
Carry a dummy wallet and put your money in your front pocket.
Place a rubber band around your wallet, it will make it much more difficult to remove from your pocket without your knowledge.
Place your money under your clothes.

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, the further your trip the more chance you stand of being caught out by jet lag. Some are lucky and never seem to be affected. However, for some, jet lag can be quite severe and something that we really would prefer to avoid.
Some people say that it actually takes the body one day per time zone that we cross to fully recover! That is great as I calculate that I am now on a 12 hour flight that crosses 6 time zones all for a 6 day trip! So my body will have just recovered by the time I am boarding my return journey! This is why it is so important to actually minimize the effects jet lag has on us, after all if you are traveling on business you need to arrive fresh and ready for the heavy schedule. If you are on vacation, well, you deserve every minute you can get. Here, we will look at a few ideas, which should help to ease the strain.
With increased air traffic, a lot of airlines especially on their long haul services have actually introduced twice daily flights. One which normally departs in the evening and another the daytime. It very much depends on which direction you are traveling to, and whether you are an active flyer or a 'wake me up when we land' sort.
This means with the daytime service you have 13 hours or so to fill, sleeping is not really advisable as you will need to do that when you arrive in London in the evening. As we all know airline movies can be good but the chances are, if you travel frequently, or watch movies a lot, then you may have already seen most of them. You can work of course, but does the airline you are flying with have laptop electric supplies? Otherwise you may be restricted to a couple of hours or so of usage. This is where the initial problem lies, because if you do fall asleep then chances are, you will find it difficult to get to sleep when you reach the destination. This would then worsen the jet lag effect and possibly ruin the next day for you, due to fatigue.
The opposite is of course true for the evening service, you can sleep as you are aided by the fact that your body clock is saying that you should. Then when you awake you will hopefully be refreshed and ready to work after a nice hot shower.
Today, airlines are going out of their way to ensure that you have a comfortable flight, and that you arrive as fresh as possible, at the other end. The leading airlines offer a total bed experience, which is where the seat will go all the way back flat, duvets, and pillows are offered, plus pajamas etc. This is now par for the course in First Class with Singapore Airlines and British Airways being among the first to offer it.
Firstly, avoid alcohol in flight, with the pressurized air in the cabin your body dehydrates substantially, and alcohol affects the body clock by not giving you a full and refreshing sleep. In fact, try to drink as much water as possible. Just ask the steward(ess) for a large bottle and keep it by your seat so you can take sips whenever you want. Drinking a lot of water will also help in other ways. It is highly recommended to move around when in-flight, walk up and down the plane, do dome stretching exercises, to keep the blood circulating, and stop the joints from stiffening. While seated, swirl your ankles around from time to time.
Again, depending on which direction you are traveling to, whether East or West, and how much sleep you require. You should set your watch to the local time of your destination as you board, and sleep according to that. This helps your body to start the change in its body clock, which is important when combating jet lag.
When you do arrive at your destination, and it is day time, try not to go to sleep, no matter how tired you are. Instead, try to go outdoors and into the sunshine if possible, this helps to alter your body clock. One of the first hotels to offer a jet lag service was the Okura Hotel in Tokyo. They would offer the guests, a special bright light in their rooms, special food designed to help the body clock, massages and a whole load of other things, all so that you could be refreshed and ready to go as soon as possible.
If you can't resist and your eyelids are drooping and you feel more and more tired, then set your alarm for four hours time, have a very hot bath, and then jump into bed.

To beat jetlag, book an overnight flight or one that arrives in the evening when traveling. As you will be able to either catch your sleep on the flight or as soon as you get in to your destination.
To prevent the swelling of feet on long flights, walk in the aisle at intervals and try not to take off your shoes. Refrain from drinking alcohol on flight as it causes dehydration. Instead, opt for mineral water.
When making flight reservation, remember to request for special meals if you have any food restrictions. After September 11, airlines follow very strict security procedures. So make sure you reach the airport for check in well before departure time. It is best to check with the respective airlines reagarding how much in advance you should arrive at the airport before flight.
If your baggage does not arrive on the same flight as you, fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR), with a description of the baggage, a list of contents and address to which it should be forwarded. If your baggage does not arrive at all, place a claim with the airline within 21 days.
Overbooking is a fact of life in the airline industry. If you are not in a particular hurry to get to your destination then volunteer to give your seat up and take the next flight. The airline will provide you a hotel room and other frills, so you can end up having an extended vacation at the airlines expense!
Do not accept any package from a stranger.
For a smooth ride on a plane, choose the seats located near the wings as if the plane hits an air pocket, this is where you will get the least amount of bumps.
If you are prone to motion sickness, take an anti sickness pill before the flight. The pill won't help much, if you have it after you have started feeling sick!
Abide by the list of items prohibited on board and carry most items like skis/cues/walking canes/sticks/Swiss knives in checked in baggage – this smoothens the check-in process plus avoids the risk of confiscation and unnecessary delays.
Report any unattended items in the airport or aircraft to the nearest airport or airline personnel.
Keep track of the weather at your destination and be prepared, especially if you are going to a hurricane prone area.
Make your hotel reservations in advance, especially if you are visiting a place in peak season. You don't want to be caught without a roof over your head!
Negotiating room tariffs over the phone? Call the hotel twice to confirm the rates. Note down the name of the person you have talked to and request a written/faxed confirmation. This way you can be sure that you will not be wrongly billed by the hotel. Don't depend solely on the hotel's alarm service. Carry your own little alarm clock to catch an early morning flight or that pre-dawn sightseeing trip. When you check into your hotel, ask the reception to give you a card with the hotel's name address and telephone number. This will come in handy if you get lost or forget the name of your hotel. Check whether your hotel has a hair-dryer, iron, coffee percolator, etc, to avoid carrying these gadgets and also making it easy to skip the 110/220 conversion problem when travelling to foreign countries. Most hotels frown on guests doing their own laundry in the bathrooms, but if you do need to wash some smalls, carry a length of nylon twine to improvise a clothesline.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WAVY) — Gov. Pat McCrory on Tuesday cautioned residents in North Carolina to be aware of dangerous conditions as areas of the state look to recover from Hurricane Matthew.
"Although floodwaters are receding and relief efforts are making progress, all residents and visitors need to remain vigilant in areas that were impacted by Hurricane Matthew," McCrory said in a Tuesday news release.
Officials: Hurricane Matthew causes estimated $40M in damages to Dare Co.
Matthew tore across North Carolina earlier this month, causing widespread damage and thousands of power outages.
The death toll from Matthew in North Carolina currently stands at 26. More than 1,000 residents are currently staying in 21 shelters throughout the state.
North Carolina officials say federal assistance is available for 27 counties, and more than $21 million in funding has already been approved.
Officials say more than 500 roads remain closed in central and eastern portions of the state because of damage or flooding. North Carolina Highway 12 suffered heavy damage from flooding and overwash during Matthew.
Chopper 10 video shows devastating flooding in Tarboro, North Carolina
The number of outages statewide had been reduced to 600 Tuesday from a peak of more than 800,000.
Officials say rivers in North Carolina should be below flood stage by Monday, Oct. 24.
Donations to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund for Hurricane Matthew can be made by texting NCRECOVERS to 30306 or by visiting NCDisasterRelief.org.

Lexington, South Carolina (PressExposure) February 05, 2012 -- It is very important if you are searching for an accident attorney South Carolina or even personal injury lawyer South Carolina that you realize what a personal injury lawyer or accident attorney actually does.
You might have received personal injuries as a consequence of an accident or may have been the victim of wrongful death.

Any time you become the casualty of someone else's negligence a personal injury lawyer or accident attorney will end up your most valuable advantage whenever your aiming to secure compensation and finalising some kind of financial settlement that you really should have resulting from your personal injuries.
To be able to file a personal injury claim, it's essential to remember that it's a time sensitive process so it is absolutely vital to contact your selected attorney or lawyer immediately.
Yet another reason why it is advisable to call them as soon as possible, is because the particular event will be recent in your mind and will provide help to easily provide the details of your accident.
When you reference the phrase accident quite often most people think it's really relative to a motor vehicle accident, but literally any type of accident on the job, at a public space and / or somewhere else, may well entitle you to make a claim connected with negligence against the place or possibly individual whereby your accident occurred.
The 1st step in the process for your personal preferred lawyer or attorney will be to go over the main points of your injuries and identify for sure if you'll have claim that should stand in court. A highly knowledgeable accident attorney or personal injury lawyer like The Rick Hall Law Firm, Lexington, South Carolina, UNITED STATES possesses in excess of twenty five years knowledge and because of this past experiences has seen a variety of incidents relating to accidents and personal injury. Because of this he can be able to promptly dig through the details as well as the finer areas of the accident and come to a decision if the parties liable for the personal injury or perhaps death can in fact be held accountable legally from your accident or personal injury.

Sometimes on the lead up to any court date that may be established, the guilty party will often aim to make lowball offers so that they can encourage you to drop any kind of legal actions against them, these are often called out-of-court settlements and it's at this point with the settlements you should be well guided by the experience of ones own lawyer or attorney.
The great majority of accident and personal injury cases are actually wrapped up outside court, this is due to the fact that nobody would like their name dragged thru court, unhealthy press together with a big legal cost.
If you enlist the services of an accident attorney South Carolina or even a Personal Injury Lawyer South Carolina for example the Rick Hall Law Firm, Lexington, South Carolina they'll work along with the legal counsel of the parties that are accountable to be able to negotiate the best possible settlement for all your medical related expenses, just about any loss of earnings, pain or suffering, damage to your property or belongings, stress, treatment, counseling and additionally generally all other acceptable expenses which were a result of the actual accident plus your injuries.

A thermostat provides automatic control of heating and cooling by sensing room temperature and turning appliances on or off. Proper installation helps ensure the effectiveness of your thermostat, which is important for efficient operation of air conditioners, furnaces and heaters.
Thermostat Controls
Thermostats control both heating and cooling appliances so your home's temperature can be maintained in any climate or season. Though thermostat installation procedures are similar, air conditioning units are typically located outside a home, whereas furnaces and heaters are installed indoors. The ease with which your contractor can access the appliance and run necessary wires may affect the cost of the job, which averages $118 for a thermostat to control A/C, $107 for heating controls, and $127 to fit a unit that manages both heating and cooling.
New and Replacement Installations
If your project involves fitting a thermostat in a new location, an electrician may need to install wiring between the installation site, the appliance, and your electrical panel, depending on the nature of the project. The accessibility of each location will affect the difficulty and cost of the job, which averages $132. Installing a replacement unit in a prepared location is generally simple and costs about $87, though any upgrades or repairs needed to connect or mount the thermostat may increase the expense of the project.
Thermostat Features
Programmable thermostats offer precise control over your home's temperature to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The specific features of your model will affect the complexity of installation, and since some programmable thermostats require a new electrical connection or involve mounting sensors outdoors, installation costs $118 on average, compared to $102 for a standard thermostat without programming features.
Supplying a Thermostat
A number of standard and programmable thermostats are available from home centers and other retailers, while others are available to electricians and contractors through trade suppliers. If you have already purchased one for your home, installation alone may cost about $93. If you prefer the convenience of having your installer supply a thermostat, or need him to special order a high-end model, total costs may reach $186.
Planning for Your Installation
Installing a new thermostat may be a necessary maintenance task, a helpful upgrade, or an important step in a new construction project. The condition of your installation site, accessibility of your home's systems, and features of your thermostat may influence the cost of installation. Discuss with your thermostat installer which models are best suited for your needs and how the characteristics of your home may affect the project.

Cutouts! Need Some Glitter
Review of Cutouts! on XBLIG: Pass
A simple platformer, Cutouts graphical polish is lost on overly simplistic gameplay.
The first thing I noticed about Cutouts was the graphics style. The world and inhabitants all appear to be made of felt. There is a layering effect applied to the elements that has a South Part animation feel (only with felt instead of cardboard). It is visually striking and gives the game a unique look.
Gameplay is straight ahead platformer, down to the point where Mario must have been a consultant on level design. There are creatures that resemble goombas which can be killed by jumping on them. Bees float up and down, and rabbits that bounce toward you, reminiscent of the flying turtles in Super Mario Bros. The rabbit leaves behind a tail that can be picked up and thrown at enemies, just like a turtle shell. Buttons stand in for coins, and collecting 100 buttons earns an extra life. You can crouch, but just like Mario this never seems to be useful.
The controls are very literal. Tapping the A button jumps, while holding A button yields a higher jump. The left stick moves the player and controls distance in air. The X button is held to move faster, and can be activated while in air. There is no inertia to character movement – letting go of the thumbstick mid jump causes the player to fall straight down.
Edge and collision detection are also very literal. Taking one step over the edge or getting a pixel too close to the wrong part of a creature results in death. Truth be told, the collision detection and controls did not cause me that many deaths, but I did experience a few moments of feeling cheated by the game.
The larger problem with Cutouts is boredom. The levels blend together after a while and I found myself zoning out and going through the motions. While the number of elements borrowed from Super Mario Bros. are enough I expected the levels to be named "World 1-1" the game could have used a few more. Vines to climb, star power, a level timer, or fire power flowers would go a long way to spice things up.
I ran into some frustrations while playing as well. A few sections required me to die to know what was coming and how to proceed. In one spot I killed a bee before realizing it was needed, and was forced to suicide before I could play on. When I died, my button count reset to zero like it was linked with a bad mortgage loan. More of an annoyance than frustration, the enemies can walk on water – the same water that kills me if I get too close.
Progress is only saved after three levels when a world is completed. This is an unfortunate design choice as I played many levels over and over again, adding to the boredom and making the repetitive soundtrack painfully obvious. The worlds do change in colors and creatures, but it is only slight changes and isn't enough to keep playing for.
Cutouts is a Pass. The graphics style is polished and interesting enough to warrant grabbing the trial to take a peek, but there isn't enough here to justify a purchase. The developer Robert J Louie has proven himself a quite capable developer and although I did not enjoy this game I am looking forward to his future titles.

With the summer in full swing, there are a ton of activities that lead to alcohol consumption. I've decided to put together a guide for you with some handy tips to help keep your fun times on track without leaving you wondering what the hell happened the night before. I've divided this post up into segments for easy reading and accessibility.
The Letter of the Law
With alcohol consumption comes responsibility. The biggest of those is to respect the laws that are set in place for safety reasons.
- Don't drink if you're underage. This law is to prevent those that have not reached a maturity level deemed necessary to understand the consequences of drinking.
- Don't drink and drive. So many senseless tragedies occur due to drunk driving. Don't become a statistic.
- Don't operate any heavy equipment, machinery or handle weapons while drinking. Alcohol impairs your judgement, and that leads to more senseless tragedy.
Now that we've gotten the serious aspect of the guide out of the way, let's move on to some basic rules of thumb.
Know what kind of night it's going to be
- Carefully Measured
This category is for those that go to the bar or club on a work night. You have a two-drink maximum with four-hour window. You need to be home before midnight. You need to drink plenty of water, and have a snack before and after your night out. This ensures that you have access to a tasty beverage, but it doesn't impair your function. This also works well for sporting events or fight nights where alcohol and ego can make for a pressure cooker of rage and idiocy. Typically, on nights like this, I go with beer instead of mixed drinks. Something with a low alcohol percentage is ideal for this particular scenario.
- Soft Buzz Consumption
This category is for those that go out after a long week at work. This includes, but is not limited to: co-worker gatherings on a Friday night at the local watering hole, Saturdays at the beach or lake, wedding receptions and nights at the club when you want to drink enough to get loose on the dance floor, but not enough to throw the DJ offstage and take over the booth with horrible mixes of Iggy or Nicki. These nights are a three-drink maximum with a five-hour window, and here I'll do a tasty mixed drink like a Vodka-Cranberry or a Screwdriver. Make sure to stay hydrated, but snacking is optional here, as we're not trying to filter the alcohol with food.
- Fully Engaged Consumption
This category is for those that are involved in a special event. Bachelor/Bachelorette parties, graduation parties, frat parties are the type of soirees that tend to have a special set of rules that allow for full hammerings. These events are a five-drink maximum (four if you're a small person, six for a big person) with a six- to ten-hour window and a predesignated place to crash. Proper hydration here is crucial as the drinks on deck can range from fruity mixed drinks to shots. These are nights when you plan on going straight Villante. The shirts are coming off, the dance moves get more risky…when I'm out with Gian Villante, the worst in me comes out, and by worst, I mean we are out there doing the robot without a care in the world. Some might argue that this is actually bringing out the best.
Stay with one type of drink
If you're doing shots with beer chasers, put a 60- to 90-minute window in between. If you're having mixed drinks, keep away from beer. If you're drinking hard liquor (Scotch on the rocks, Bourbon neat, etc.), stay far away from beer. There's no faster way to the spins and the imminent toilet hugging experience than mixing your alcohol. Don't be a puker! Here's a handy little rhyme to help you out: Beer before liquor, never sicker.
Hydrate well
This is of the utmost importance in any scenario. Drink water before you start drinking, in between drinks and after you've stopped. This step will help keep the dreaded hangover away.
Have a sober wingman
There is nothing worse than a bad case of beer goggles. It is close to impossible to try to extricate yourself from the clutches of a determined clinger after the beer goggles have started to wear off. Don't put yourself in this position. A wingman is there to protect you from this, so the trick is to make sure he/she is going to maintain a level of sobriety that is higher than yours. The worst cases of beer goggles can be avoided with a responsible wingman.
Plan your post-drinking snacks in advance
There is no faster way to ruin a diet than binge eating after a night of drinking. Salty snacks, late night fast food runs, IHOP, crazy concoctions involving Kraft Mac-N-Cheese and whatever meat you can find is going to put you five to seven pounds on overnight. Set yourself up with some veggie trays or something moderately healthy in advance. Believe it or not, if you've pre-prepared something, it will be what you look forward to for the rest of the night.
Use happy hour to your advantage
Happy Hour is a national treasure. You get in most joints without a cover, reduced rates on drinks, and some places have free munchies. When you want to go out but your wallet is light, these places are lifesavers.
Know the lay of the land
Find out what bars/clubs are near you and explore them. You never know when you're going to find a hidden gem. This is also great for locating the best happy hour deals. Bonus: When money is tight, having a standby that's within walking distance or a short cab ride that won't break the bank is ideal.
Leave your credit card/ATM card at home
Bring cash only! This prevents you from burning through your cards or bank account when you're hellbent on buying your entire crew's drinks because you're in Santa Clause mode after a few shots with beer chasers. It prevents thieves from getting anything more than what you've allotted for a single night of fun, and the find restriction provides a limit to how much you can drink.
If you follow these simple steps, you'll find that your nights/days out will likely be fun, safe and without chew your own arm off to escape the clutches of some random that would never register a blip on your radar normally. Be safe, responsible and organized.

One of the most common data loss scenarios for a Windows user happens when a PC hard drive is accidentally reformatted. This is a common mistake because when Windows is not recognizing a drive properly, a pop-up will notify you that the drive needs to be formatted before it can be used.
It can also happen if a drive is reformatted when upgrading to a new operating system. If you are a Windows user and have lost data as a result of accidental reformatting, this post will teach you about how Data Rescue PC can be used to recover formatted hard drives.
Things to Know Before Recovery
Modern hard drives use something called a file system to logically control and organize the way data is read and written to your storage device. It essentially acts as the directory for file and folder names that tells your computer where the contents of a file are located on your hard drive. When a hard drive is formatted, this file system is re-written, meaning the file names are no longer linked to the actual content of your files on your hard drive, and all areas on your hard drive are considered to be available free space.
The good news is that your files are not actually lost in this process. Using software such as Data Rescue PC, you can scan the entire drive to search for file patterns, and your files can be reconstructed if they have not yet been overwritten.
The first step in any data recovery scenario should be to minimize or eliminate the use of the computer or hard drive until you are able to use data recovery software. As you can recall from earlier, the locations of your old files on your hard drive are now considered to be available free space, so you will want to minimize the amount of new data being written to your device to prevent your lost files from being overwritten before recovery.
This means that if you have an accidentally re-formatted external hard drive, you will want to either disconnect the device entirely or ensure you do not save new files to the device. For an internal drive (that is not so easily disconnected), minimize your usage of the computer when possible, since activities as simple as web browsing or audio/video streaming can save temporary files to your computer.
Downloading, Installing, and Activating Data Rescue PC
Depending on what drive you have reformatted, there are a couple of ways the software can be used:
If you have accidentally formatted an external drive for Windows, you can simply download and install the Data Rescue software to your computer as a normal application, with no risk of overwriting any files on the external device.
If you have reformatted your internal drive and reinstalled Windows, you can still download and install the software as described above, however the small application download itself could potentially overwrite a very small number of your files.
If you want to completely eliminate the chance of overwriting data on a formatted internal drive, or you have not reinstalled Windows, you can use another Windows computer and our LiveUSB Creator Tool to download and install Data Rescue PC to a USB drive. Alternatively, you can purchase an optional pre-configured bootable USB directly from our website when purchasing the software.
Since there is a possibility that some of your files may be damaged or overwritten after a drive is accidentally reformatted, you will first want to try the demo version, as this has the same scan engine as the full version of the software, and has a built in preview feature that allows you to open and play any file listed in the scan results. This will help you determine if your files are damaged or corrupted, or if they can be successfully recovered using the full version of Data Rescue PC.
To download the demo of Data Rescue PC, visit our Downloads Page and select Data Rescue PC4 (requires Windows 7 or later, for earlier versions of Windows you can use Data Rescue PC 3).
Next, enter your email address and click the Download button. You will be sent an email to the provided address that contains a link to download the Data Rescue application, LiveUSB Creator, and your Demo Version Serial Number. You can copy this serial number so that it can be pasted directly into the software activation window.
After clicking on the download link in your email and running the downloaded file, you will be presented with the following screen:
Press "Next" to continue with the installation. You will then be presented with the software License Agreement. Select "I Agree" to continue with installation.
The setup will ask where you would like to install the software, by default this will be in your Program Files folder.
Click "Browse…" if you would like to change your install location, and press Install. When the installation is finished, you will see the following screen with a checkbox option to launch the software. Keep this checked or, if you'd like to perform your recovery later, you can launch Data Rescue from its install directory you selected above:
Click "Finish" to launch the software.
With the software open, you will again be presented with the software License Agreement. Press "I Agree" to continue to the Registration window shown below, where you can paste your Demo Serial Number (or Full Version Serial Number if you have already purchased the software):
Press the "Activate" button after entering your serial number to proceed to the software as described in the sections below.
Scanning a Formatted Drive Using Data Rescue PC
Upon launching Data Rescue PC and activating the software, the first screen will be the Wizard, which allows you to select a Source you would like to scan for recovery. You can also access the Wizard at any time by going to File -> Wizard or pressing CTRL + W. An example Wizard screen is shown below:
Select the Physical Hardware name of the accidentally formatted drive from the Source list. A Physical Name will be listed with (Drive #) after its size, whereas a Partition will show the drive letter in parentheses, and be slightly indented below the Physical Name. For recovering from a formatted device, you will need to select the Physical Name. In the above example, we will be scanning the highlighted General USB Flash Disk (Drive 1), a 16GB USB drive that contained a collection of pictures and document files before being accidentally formatted using Windows built in format utility.
Once you have selected your accidentally formatted drive, press the "Scan" button to continue to the following screen:
On this screen, you can confirm the Source you selected in the previous screen. This is also where you can Load Scan Results from a previous scan (saving scans in Data Rescue PC will be covered below).
After confirming your selection, press "Start" to begin scanning the reformatted hard drive. The actual scan can take some time to complete, even up to 5-8 hours per 1TB being scanned, as long as the drive being scanned is not damaged in any way.
Once the scan completes, Data Rescue PC will open the following prompt asking if you would like to save your scan to a file:
To ensure you do not need to run another scan, we always recommend saving the scan results in case you must recover at a later time.
Press "Yes" to open the Window below, which will allow you to select a location to save the Scan.bin file. In this example, the scan result list is being saved to the Desktop:
After selecting a location to save your Scan.bin file, press "Save" to continue to the scan results screen.
Previewing Scan Results For A Formatted Drive
Once you complete the scan of your device that was reformatted, you may or may not be presented with a Partition List. For a formatted device, select the last option "Found Files – Raw Sectors". To change your partition, or confirm you have selected the correct one, you can press the "Select Partition" button at the top of the scan results, or go to Tools -> Select Partition.
If you are not prompted to choose a partition, simply continue following the directions below.
The Scan Results screen for the example USB drive is shown below. Your screen will look slightly different depending on the type of files that were previously stored on the device before it was accidentally formatted:
As you can see in the above image, the raw contents of files are grouped by file category. This is done because files lost when formatting a hard drive are no longer associated with their file or folder names (as described in the first section of this post).
The files will be given generic names, and grouped by File Extension in their respective folders. You will then have to preview or open the files for the file type you are looking for so that you can verify the contents of a file and identify it.
Below you can see the scan results screen further expanded to show the JPEG and PNG subfolders in the Pictures directory. As you'll recall from the example, this USB contained pictures and documents before being accidentally formatted:
From the results shown above, it looks like the software was able to identify file patterns for a number of PNG image files. To verify that these are the correct files, we can select an individual file and preview its contents.
To preview an individual file, highlight the file and go to Tools -> View File. You can also press ALT + V with the file selected, or right click the file and choose "View".
Make sure you preview several of your files to identify them and make sure they were not damaged when the device was accidentally formatted.
Marking Files for Recovery with Data Rescue PC
To mark or unmark a file for Recovery, press the Space key with a file highlighted, or right click the file and press "Check".
You can also mark entire folders from the directory list to check all contained files, as shown in the example below where all PNG files have been selected for recovery from the formatted device:
With all the lost PNG files verified and marked, we are now ready to recover the files from the reformatted hard drive.
Recovering Formatted Files Using Data Rescue PC
At this point we have previewed scan results to make sure the files are intact, and marked the files we'd like to recover. If you have not reached this point or had trouble with any of the previous steps, feel free to review previous sections or contact our support team.
With the files marked that you'd like to recover, press the "Recover" button in the bottom right of the Data Rescue window. If you are using the Demo Version you will receive the following prompt:
Clicking on the Upgrade button will take you to the Software Registration window, where you can enter your Full Version serial number. If you have not yet purchased the software, press "Purchase" to go to our Website, where the software can be purchased to recover the files you have identified and marked. You can also access the activation window by going to Help -> Software Registration.
Once the Full Version of Data Rescue PC is activated, you will be automatically taken to the Select Destination Folder Screen after pressing "Recover":
From this window, you can select where you would like to recover the files to. In our example, we are saving the files to the desktop since we scanned an external USB drive.
You can select any location, as long as it is not on the same accidentally formatted drive that you have scanned for recovery. You could potentially overwrite files that still need to be recovered, so Data Rescue PC never allows you to write to a Source drive.
After selecting a destination location, press the Save button and you will be prompted with the total number of files and amount of data selected for recovery. Press "Recover" to confirm.
Once the recovery is complete, you will be prompted again with the total amount of data and number of files recovered. Press "OK" to confirm.
You have now successfully recovered your files from an accidentally formatted hard drive!
To access the files, simply navigate to the hard drive or folder you selected as your destination. From here you can open, rename, and reorganize files as needed. Once you have confirmed that you have recovered all data from the formatted drive, we recommend making a backup of the recovered data. You can then use the accidentally formatted drive again once the files have been safely recovered, allowing the old files to be overwritten naturally.

TMA's music capability has had a busy year with TMA hosting Snoop Dogg for a private concert in Dallas this spring, but little did we know they had something bigger cooking with Trulia.com. When TMA pitched the idea of "Hammerfy Your Home" to Trulia, it didn't take long for the new client to jump on board with an idea centered around putting the fun back in home search with customizable music videos from MC Hammer.
"While there's been lots of improvements on how people can search for homes, we noticed that the home description hadn't really evolved much and chose that to focus on. What could be more fun (and different) that having a hip hop legend rap about your dream house?," TMA senior manager Jen Daly said.
TMA's Chief Innovation Officer Larry Weintraub said, "We pitched them a couple ideas, but this was always our favorite. We pitched it Thursday and on Monday the client called and said, 'We love it! Let's go.'"
Trulia is leading the way for brands embracing collaboration with artists Daly says and it's more exciting to work with artists like Hammer to tell the brands' stories. Weintraub said the awareness boost in a competitive market was a big reason the campaign was loved right away.
"This particular brand knows they need to increase awareness in this competitive space. Trulia wanted to up the online recognition. The idea became so loved that shareability became a huge goal. You wanted to create something that ultimately you'd want to share with your friends. There was a viral component as well."
One of the big pluses of working with MC Hammer was his ability to work through all of the different aspects of the campaign, which included recording the different variations of the song, the music video and editing all that together.
"This is a guy who is incredibly professional. Started looking at the lyrics, made some creative suggestions and then just flied through them. Considering all of the things he went through, he was a joy. He gave high-fives and hugs before taking a group photo (below)," Weintraub said. "You never know what you're going to get with celebrities, but he was professional and fun."
Watching Hammer embracing the idea, dancing and rapping live in-person was a huge highlight for Daly and having fun while working on an innovative campaign is what it's all about, right?
"As a child of the 90's, it was surreal! We recorded the verses at a legendary recording studio in Hollywood that people like Led Zepplin and Guns & Roses have recorded at so that was already a little mind blowing," Daly said.
"Hammerfy Your Home" at www.trulia.com/hammerfy today and share your dream home music video!

GenesisCare poised for growth with modern Patient Billing
10th September, 2014
Australia's largest provider of radiation oncology, cardiology and sleep treatments, GenesisCare, has begun rolling out the PowerHealth Solutions' enterprise-wide patient billing system, PowerBilling & Revenue Collection (PBRC), to each of its practices across Australia, as part of their future growth strategy.
GenesisCare currently provides essential health care services across more than 120 sites and clinics ranging from major capital cities to regional and rural centres.
The system has already been successfully implemented at Adelaide Radiotherapy Centre, and will be progressively rolled out across the GenesisCare network.
GenesisCare Project Manager Graham O'Connor said, "GenesisCare is committed to actively driving the delivery of advanced, high quality care for Australians and once this nation-wide implementation is complete, we will have an enterprise-wide system that provides consistent billing functionality that is more efficient to operate, benefiting our patients and the quality of service we provide.
"The new system automates tasks that were previously performed manually. For example online claiming automates manual paperwork and achieves a much shorter revenue cycle. GenesisCare can now submit health fund claims instantly online instead of through postal mail. This speeds up the claim processing cycle from days/weeks to hours, PBRC will enable GenesisCare to standardise business processes across all our practices and improve analysis with more robust data, leading to more consistent management reporting and branding."
PowerHealth Solutions Projects Director Evie Karagiannis said, "GenesisCare are a professional group who have been excellent to work with. The success of the first rollout can be attributed to their project team and stakeholder engagement along with their willingness to work together to deliver a billing solution that meets their needs."

The Making of an Atheist
In this book Dr. Spiegel argues that atheism stems not from objective reasoning but from a suppression of mankind's inborn sense of God.
3 in stock
"Atheists may insist that their unbelief is the result of impartial reasoning and an unbiased look at the evidence. but what if these arguments were a smokescreen–an exercise in self-deception? What if atheists' will and moral compass were more responsible for their anti-theism? "Drawing on Scripture, psychology, philosophy, and case studies of the lives of famous atheists, Spiegel shows that atheism is suppression of mankind's inborn sense of God's existence. Such anti-faith springs from moral rebellion against God's ethical standards, and often the psychological trauma of missing or defective father." These books sold by Apologetics.com are personally autographed by Dr. James Spiegel!

text: Quick question, is the centre console (the bit between the seats) on this generation Civic the same in each version, or does for example the Type-S differ from the SE Executive which differs from the Sport etc? I ask because one of the things i've noticed in my short time with my EV1 is just how easily the interior plastics get scuffed and covered in even the lightest scratches! My centre console seem particularly scuffed so was considering looking for a less marked one in a scrappy maybe.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump expressed some measure of affection for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), while seeking to explain contributions to the top Senate Democrat.
Trump, who's mulling a run for the Republican presidential nomination next year, said his contributions to Reid, as well as other Democrats over the years, are attributable to his business practices and not to politics.
"Harry Reid was always very nice, and he was always very nice to me," Trump said in an interview with the Des Moines Register published Thursday. "He asked me for a contribution, a couple of friends of mine that are out there, very good friends of mine that are big developers out there asked me to contribute, and again, I was in the world of business, and I made a contribution to him."
Trump's made a play for the Republican nomination by offering no-holds-barred criticism of Obama and the Democratic president's policies. And to a degree, it's succeeded; polls show Trump at or near the top of the pack of the Republican primary field.
But conservatives have their suspicions. The fiscally conservative Club for Growth has gone on the attack this week against Trump, calling him a "liberal" and dredging up Trump's past support of the bailouts for GM and Chrysler and also his occasional use of eminent domain to advance his real estate business.
Trump's sought elsewhere to soothe cynicism toward his vocal conservatism as of late. He's acknowledged evolving in his position on abortion-rights, to the point now where he says he opposes abortion-rights.
The host of NBC's "The Apprentice" has also donated to plenty of Democrats in the past, which does little to soothe conservatives he's hoping to win over in a Republican presidential primary.
Trump, again, attributed the donations to business and the fact that New York, where he headquarters his empire, is dominated politically by Democrats.
"I'm a very big businessman. I deal with politicians all over the world. And New York is almost exclusively Democratic," Trump said. "So I do contribute to Democrats, and I think that's a positive ... I have a lot of good relationships with Democrats, and it's time the two parties get together and get this country's problems solved instead of always fighting and fighting and nothing ever gets done."

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two biopolymer strands, coiled around each other to form a double helix. These two DNA strands are called polynucleotides since they are composed of several monomer proteins. Each nucleotide is made up of nitrogen-containing cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T), one deoxyribose sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. The nucleotides are joined to one another in a chain by covalent hydrogen bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, resulting in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone, according to base-pairing rules. The total amount of DNA in all living organisms is estimated to weigh 50 billion tons (Wikipedia). That's a lot of DNA, especially as protein molecules are microscopic and thus invisible to the naked eye.
The DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage, unless there is a mutation, and both pieces of the double-stranded structure store the same biological information. When a cell divides, it RNA transcription must replicate the DNA in its genome so that the two daughter cells are afforded an exact copy of the genetic information stored in the parent cells. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. The two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. A large part of DNA (almost 99% in humans) is non-coding, meaning that these sections do not serve as patterns for protein sequences, but rather perform little-known functions. Beyond major requirements within the molecular biology department, you may consider Hutchinson Community College X-ray technician program as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.
