Vulcan married her, but she permitted the attentions of others of the gods, and notably of Mars, their offspring being Hermione, Cupid, and Anteros. After this she left Olympus and fell in love with Adonis, a beautiful youth, who was killed when hunting a wild boar. Venus indirectly caused the Trojan War, for, when the goddess of discord had thrown among the goddesses the golden apple inscribed "To the fairest," Paris adjudged the apple to Venus, and she inspired him with love for Helen, wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta. Paris carried off Helen to Troy, and the Greeks pursued and besieged the city (see Helen, Paris, and Troy). Venus is mentioned by the classic poets under the names of Aphrodite, Cypria, Urania, Astarte, Paphia, Cythera, and the laughter-loving goddess. Her favorite residence was at Cyprus.

Vulcan was married to Venus. He is supposed to have formed Pandora out of clay. His servants were the Cyclopes.

Why 'Paper Street'?
People ask us about the meaning behind our name all the time. I think it's such a cool thing that I love to share it! We originally came up with the name because we liked the way it sounded. We were curious if there actually was a Paper Street anywhere, and we wondered where it was if it did exist. What we found was quite interesting- there is no actual Paper Street anywhere!
Apparently, when city planners are drawing out maps of new cities or city expansions all of the streets are "Paper Street". As the new roads get built, each street gets a new dedicated name as it comes to life. So Paper Streets literally only exist on paper!! Cool huh?
We thought that was inspiring enough to name our business after, and we enjoy telling the story every time someone asks.
About Us
We're a shop born out of love- a love of learning about all things old. When we set out to decorate our house we knew we wanted something 'different'. We shopped around to mix and match unique pieces for our home- while we really love antique pieces with history it was difficult to find things that were 'cool' enough for our home and that would blend in with our style.
We know there are many people out there with great taste who can appreciate the quality and history behind antiques but also want to integrate them with modern pieces as well, and that's what we specialize in. Whether it's a key piece of furniture you're looking for or just the accessories that will make your room 'pop', we're here to help!
We try to provide as much information as possible about the pieces that we sell so that you can learn about and appreciate them. It makes us happy to help people on their decorating mission, and we're always in search of bargains! We can give you a great deal (shop around…our prices are VERY competitive!), and you can get a beautiful piece for your home that will become a family heirloom.
When it comes to matching furniture and accessories for your home, our theory is 'surround yourself with things you love…it will all work out in the end'. If you pick out pieces that call to you you will ultimately love the room that you put together.
We hope to see you @ PSM soon!

Indian stock market is down by 800 odd points in the last 2 days and is already at the 2006 levels.
Nobody is sure if we have reached the bottom or if there is still some pain. RBI has reduced the CRR (credit reserve ratio) to 8.5% to increase liquidity and hence boost the markets. CRR is the rate at which banks need to keep funds with the Reserve Bank.
SEBI has re-introduced the P-notes (participatory notes), which were banned in late 2007. These are instruments through which foreign investors can invest in Indian equity without registering themselves with SEBI. This move is supposed to bring in more foreign investments. Though these 2 announcements were made yesterday they did not help the market today. It was down by 100 odd points today.
FII's are net sellers overall and are expected to sell even more till the end of 2008. This has to be done to meet their credit obligation in the midst of once in a century financial crisis in the US. RBI has also injected 20000 crore rupees into the markets. This move comes after Australia has reduced interest rates and Bank of Japan has injected money into the markets. The re-introduction of P-notes is a bit too late and too little considering the global turmoil. Indian markets should expect more pain. This would be for Indian stock Market, growth of the economy and the inflation.
Though the measures employed by RBI and SEBI are on expected lines something else should be done at the same time. Something else, which is not in the hands of RBI. Something else, which has to be done by the government. That is leaving the price of the petrol products to the market. Do not subsidize it. Do not give oil bonds to the PSU's. Do not charge extra taxes for the imports.
If the price were left to the market wouldn't we all be cheering now that the barrel price has come down? If it goes up again (not likely) wouldn't everybody be using the public transportation instead of firing all 4 cylinders? I know its election year to make any unpopular reforms but does congress really think they are going to win the next elections? I don't. I don't see a reason for Congress to think otherwise. So why not make the most of it. Remove the oil subsidies.
Given these scenarios do you still think Sensex has reached the bottom? Some analysts say the worst for Indian Stock Market (Sensex) would be 9500. I have a hunch that it would bottom out at 9500. Not that I believe in those analysts. But because there is still a lot of pain left in the markets and 9500-10000 seems like a good level to enter the market. This is the year-end target.

Illegal Newquay gas fitter sentenced for undertaking unregistered gaswork
An unregistered gas fitter has been order to complete 250 hours of community service for illegally installing a LPG gas boiler and hob at a Newquay home as well as producing fraudulent documentation.
Dean Marshall, aged 47, of Dukes Way, Newquay, installed the gas boiler and gas hob at a property on Chynowen Lane, Newquay several years after his registration with Gas Safe Register had lapsed, meaning he wasn't permitted to carry out gas work. His previous registration with Gas Safe Register did not cover any work on any LPG gas appliances as he had never completed the proper training for this work. Despite this he continued to use the Gas Safe Register logo on paperwork he issued.
Truro Crown Court heard on 15 September, that Mr Marshall's illegal gaswork came to light when the homeowner, who had been repeatedly asking for the commission documentation for the new boiler, noticed that Dean Marshall had used another name and registration number on the commissioning certificate.
An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that Dean Marshall had fraudulently used a Gas Safe registered engineers details to deceive the homeowners.
Mr Marshall pleaded guilty to breaching Regulation 3(3), 3(7), and 33(2) of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and was sentenced to undertake 250 hours unpaid work for each offence to run concurrently and ordered to pay £4,966.42 in costs.
HSE Inspector Simon Jones, speaking after the hearing, said:
"Only engineers registered with Gas Safe can legally carry out gas work.
"Mr Marshall undertook gaswork which he knew he shouldn't do. He compounded his illegal work by fraudulently using firstly the Gas Safe Register logo on his paperwork and then the details of a properly registered gas engineer on a commissioning certificate that he issued in a clear attempt to deceive the homeowners.
"If gas appliances, such as ovens, cookers and boilers, are not properly installed there is a risk of fire, explosion and carbon monoxide poisoning."
Further information on domestic gas safety issues can be found on the HSE website at http://www.hse.gov.uk/gas/domestic/

1 vols
1937 · New York
by (GEE, Ernest)
New York: The Derrydale Press, 1937. 1 vols. Mounted on slightly worn backing board. Fine condition. 1 vols. The Derrydale Press printed Ernest R. Gee's "Gee's Hunting Diary" in 1937; the text, consisting of pages for data entries, was unillustrated, but both the upper and lower covers carried Henry Alken's design of a fox mask and other hunt trophies which had been used as the frontispiece to Fore's Hunting Diary, with "Fore's" changed to "Gee's". Offered here is the original artwork for this, consisting of a sepia photostat of the Fore's design, with minor retouching, and with the name "Fore's" obliterated and "Gee's" painted in its place with white and black ink, which has also been used to delineate the words "Hunting Diary". Although it does not show in the published form, the word "Fore's" can still be seen under the retouching. The area around the design has been whitened by airbrush, and the whole is surrounded by a thin line in black ink. The design measures 6-1/2" high x 12-3/8" wide; in the margins are pencilled notations concerning the size and colors to be used in the published version. TA unique and fascinating Derrydale relic. Siegel 117; Frazier G-3-a; Biscotti, Six Centuries of Foxhunting, p. 200. Provenance: Duncan Andrews (Inventory #: 261123)

(Hopefully Temporary) Hiatus
Thursday, February 28, 2013
I kind of disappeared from Spark the last couple of weeks. No particular reason.
This past week I have been bitten by a bug and was coughing, sneezing, and had a stuffy nose. I still have a bit of a cough, but otherwise feel much better. I haven't worked out in a week and definitely had some bad food days! I still lost .8lbs, which isn't much, but glad it wasn't a gain!!
I am determined to get back to work. I am going to the gym tonight to keep preparing for my 5k.
I am also really sad because my best friend of 8 years and previous roommate is moving across the country. It's really hard for me to make new friends and I feel like I am going to be super lonely here..she's the only one I hang out with regularly. How do people even make friends anymore ? lol Seriously. I work with people who are 22 and under (I'm 26), and well, they act like typical college kids.. I am too old for that. I also work with people who are 40-50s, and well, I'm too young to have things in common with them! It used to be so much easier to meet people when I was younger. Any suggestions?
Hope everyone is having a good break.

Try not to rule out friendships due to age. The older you get, the less age matters. I have a best friend who is 20 years older than me, and some equally good friends who are 10-15 years younger than me. Of course I realize that sometimes you want to be with friends who are where "where you are" in life, and I agree it's hard to meet people outside of work. I wish I could give you better advice!!!

These are two people who love each other with every once of energy and creativity they have. Rifat popped the question with an over-the-top surprise flash mob engagement proposal down Calgary's bustling Stephen Ave – how's that for starters? For their engagement session they had the vision of drinking high-tea, nibbling on cupcakes and dancing in each others arms on the edge of a mountain. And they did it. Then there's the guitar Sumaiya surprised Rifat with just before the reception, and the wonderful dance Rifat performed for his bride later that night. It's a love language that lived out loud and beautiful to witness.
Sumaiya & Rifat, what a privilege it has been to experience your love and those who love you enormously. It's a testament to the quality of people you are by hearing the words of praise by those you surround yourselves with. We look forward to seeing more of your crazy and romantic adventures ahead!

The slasher is one of the most prevalent types of horror movies around, and with good reason: it taps into the most basic fear of being hunted by someone trying to kill you (often for no good reason other than they're nuttier than a squirrel's nest). Today we will be counting down the 50 greatest of all time, each with their own uniquely morbid appeal.
Note: People's definition of a slasher varies, so a few films on this list might not be considered slashers by some people, while some films you were sure should have been included weren't. Go figure. For instance, the most prominent exclusion on this list would have to be Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sure, the film has early slasher elements but isn't necessarily a fully fledged slasher. And a slasher movie killer Leatherface is not. In slasher movies the antagonist is hunting down his prey. In the case of Leatherface, he is confused/frightened when these people start coming into HIS house. TCM is essentially a reverse home invasion film. The killer didn't come to them, they came to him. Also, even though many will argue that they be respected as their own thing, don't be surprised to see a few giallo films on the list (sometimes the line between the two sub-genres is quite indecipherable).
Anywho, now that we have all the caveats out of the way, let's get started.
50. Scream Bloody Murder (1973)
Director: Marc B. Ray
Stars: Fred Holbert, Leigh Mitchell, Robert Knox, Suzette Hamilton
Scream Bloody Murder: This here is one sick puppy. As the film opens, a mop-headed youngster named Matthew is watching his father fix the family tractor. Being the inquisitive sort, and harboring an obvious bias against authority figures, Matthew hops on the idling tractor and proceeds to run over dear old dad. But alas, there is no such thing as a perfect crime, for when he tries to jump down from the still-running farm machine, his hand is mauled. The boy is sent to a mental hospital, where he's outfitted with a hook to replace his lost hand. Years later, he's eventually released from the asylum. He returns home to find his mother has remarried, which, naturally, sets him off on a murderous rampage.
This is one hell of a weird movie. The character of Matthew is never explained; why did he run down his father? What's his obsession with his mother? What's his story?! The filmmakers probably didn't care, as long as they could pile on as many gory murder sequences and out-of-this-world psycho babble to creep out the audience. And to be perfectly honest, it works. The incredibly moist special effects will keep gorehounds happy and are truly unsettling. The surprise shock ending will either tick you off or crawl under your skin, but either way, it's a gutsy as hell!
49. The Mutilator (1984)
Directors: Buddy Cooper, John Douglass
Stars: Matt Mitler, Ruth Martinez, Bill Hitchcock, Frances Raines
A group of teenagers decide to take a vacation at the beach house of one of their fathers. The kid whose father owns the house just happened to accidentally kill his mother when he was a child. When they get to the house, the father has mysteriously disappeared. Hmmm…
As you can tell by its place on the list, The Mutilator isn't the greatest slasher but it earns its spot for one reason… the kills. Indeed, the filmmakers managed to conjure up quite an impressive array of original and tasteless deaths. Among these kills there is a drowning, a vicious attack with a boat motor, and a throat impaled by a pitchfork. There is also a rather sexual death in which one of the female characters is killed by a giant fishing hook used in a most uncomfortable way. Limbs are hacked off and throats are slit, one character is even split in two after an unfortunate run in with an automobile. The Mutilator plays out like a gorehound's wet dream and the red stuff is poured out in abundance. Yet another impressive death involves a character getting a large blade of metal shoved into their face just before their head is hacked off with a battle axe. It's great.
48. Graduation Day (1981)
Director: Herb Freed
Stars: Patch Mackenzie, Christopher George, E. Danny Murphy, Linnea Quigley
After a high school track runner, named Laura, suddenly dies from a heart attack after finishing a 30-second 200-meter race, a killer wearing a sweat suit and a fencing mask begins killing off her friends on the school track team one by one.
During the early '80s, it seemed like any sort of holiday or landmark day became hazardous to your health if you were a teenager or young adult. Given the debauchery surrounding graduation, it was only a matter of time until some maniac decided to confer hatchets to the head rather than degrees. Director Herb Freed is your master of ceremonies for this bloody Graduation Day, and the commencement exercises include rocking tunes, bouncing breasts, and plenty of slashing.
47. Bloody Moon (1981)
Director: Jesús Franco
Stars: Olivia Pascal, Christoph Moosbrugger, Nadja Gerganoff, Jasmin Losensky
A horribly scarred man is cruelly rejected by a girl he made advances on, and thus, in a fit of rage, he stabs her to death with a pair of scissors. Five years later, he is released from the mental hospital into the care of his sister and an ailing relative. Soon, at a nearby Spanish language school, beautiful female students are being brutally murdered in various macabre ways. Angela is a student at the academy. She thinks she witnesses the murder of one of her friends but nobody believes her due to her love of murder mystery novels. What's a girl to do?
It has to be said that this film succeeds despite its flaws. There are obvious red herrings, the acting is weak and the dialogue is atrocious but the film works in spite of these limitations. This is because it features abundant nasty violence – a girl is stabbed with the blade exiting her nipple, another gets her head sawed off by an industrial chainsaw machine, on top of a brutal stabbing in the stomach and several strangulations. It's an entertaining fusion of stalk-and-slash with Eurotrash sleaze.
46. Evil Dead Trap (1988)
Director: Toshiharu Ikeda
Stars: Miyuki Ono, Yuji Honma, Hitomi Kobayashi, Shinsuke Shimada
TV personality Nami Tsuchiya is the hostess of a late-night TV program called, appropriately enough, "Late Night With Nami." The show plays homemade blooper videos sent in by her viewers. One day she receives a disturbing snuff film of a woman being horrifically tortured in a local abandoned factory that contains an image of Nami shown at the very end. Taking a camera crew out to investigate, Nami finds the factory deserted. As Nami and her crew begin to scour the factory, they are murdered one-by-one in grisly fashion.
As a loving Japanese take on the slasher genre, Evil Dead Trap kicks the ass of many of its fellow cookie-cut J-Horrors. Rather than being a supernatural tale steeped in folklore and overrun by long haired apparitions (as we have come to expect from Japanese horror), Evil Dead Trap is more reminiscent of non-Asian horrors of the era such as the works of Henenlotter, Argento and Fulci. Evil Dead Trap has a grim and gritty anti-charm that's almost endlessly entertaining.
45. Terror Train (1980)
Director: Roger Spottiswoode
Stars: Jamie Lee Curtis, Ben Johnson, Hart Bochner, Sandee Currie
Any legitimate slasher movie list needs to have multiple Jamie Lee Curtis films on it – that's just common sense. Terror Train stars Curtis as Alana Maxwell, a graduating med student who is celebrating New Year's Eve at a costume party on a chartered train. Haunted by a three-year old practical joke that went wrong and drove a fellow classmate insane, Alana and her fraternity friends' evening of booze and sex is interrupted when they find themselves the target of an anonymous killer.
Firstly, yes, Terror Train is an atypical slasher, giving away its killer's identity almost right away. Without any whodunit mystery trappings to worry about, the film instead makes you guess what silly costume will the killer wear next (every time he offs someone, he dons whatever get-up the last victim had on). And because of that, Terror Train is the only slasher to ever have someone butcher a co-ed while sporting a giant lizard suit.
44. Final Exam (1981)
Director: Jimmy Huston
Stars: Cecile Bagdadi, Joel S. Rice, Ralph Brown, DeAnna Robbins
Lanier College is getting ready to conclude its current semester. Fraternity pranks are at a fever pitch and everyone across campus is studying hard for their final exams. Everything seems pretty normal, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. A mysterious stranger driving an ominous van has entered the idyllic grounds of Lanier. This person has a chip on his shoulder and isn't exactly concerned with whether or not he will pass his Chem final. This individual has murder in mind, born of an agenda all his own. Will the jocks, brainy nerds, and buxom bimbos of Lanier make it out alive, or will they all fail the ultimate test of human survival that only a killer this deranged could create?
Final Exam truly does not get enough credit. As a slasher picture, it's a slow burner, but it has got enough eerie cinematography and ominous atmosphere to engage long before the body count starts to rise. The film is a splendid exercise in subtle spookiness, and you'll likely never find an empty college campus so unsettling.
43. Blood And Black Lace (1964)
Director: Mario Bava
Stars: Cameron Mitchell, Eva Bartok, Thomas Reiner, Mary Arden
Mario Bava's Blood And Black Lace takes place in a fashion boutique which is basically a high-glamour facade that covers a multitude of sins, including drugs, cheating, and abortions. Someone begins knocking off fashion models one by one while everyone tries to get their hands on a secret diary; everyone looks guilty, and so it's not easy to find the killer.
Decadent visualist as well as severe moralist, Bava locates the macabre beauty at the heart of his art in this fashion-world dollhouse, where the models, both human and inanimate, become the main canvases for the sensual lushness of the mise en scène; the witty opening credits already suggest the link by posing the cast in sinister tableau, and mannequins are trenchantly arranged throughout as mute witnesses to the spectacle of human malice. This gives the entire production a beautifully bizarre quality, which is broken only when the characters meet their maker.
42. Tourist Trap (1979)
Director: David Schmoeller
Stars: Chuck Connors, Jocelyn Jones, Jon Van Ness, Robin Sherwood
Tourist Trap begins as so many other low-budget slasher films do; namely, with a group of young attractive girls and a couple of their male friends stranded in the middle of nowhere with car trouble. Then, wouldn't you know it? A Good Samaritan comes along and offers to help the kids with their troubles. The guy's a little weird and lives alone in a house filled with stuff that belongs in a circus tent, but hey, there's no one else around, so why not accept the old geezer's offer?
So from what you've just read, you probably have a fairly good sense of where the movie is going from here? Thing is: you'd be wrong. All because we didn't mention the mannequins that come to life and kill one of the youngsters during the first five minutes of the film. You see, one of the two guys in our coterie of stranded travelers makes the initial foray into a house up the road while seeking help. Within minutes, mannequins – indeed, the type you'd see in a department store – come to life and murder him. It's from then on that you know you're not watching just another slasher film. What we get is an off-kilter, slightly funny (the killer complaining about his brother not letting him use his telekinetic powers is a particular delight), but yet very unique and creepy movie.
41. Santa Sangre (1989)
Director: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Stars: Axel Jodorowsky, Blanca Guerra, Guy Stockwell, Thelma Tixou
A young man named Fenix is confined in a mental hospital. Through a flashback we see that he was traumatized as a child, when he and his family were circus performers: he saw his father cut off the arms of his mother, a religious fanatic and leader of the heretical church of Santa Sangre ("Holy Blood"), and then commit suicide. Back in the present, he escapes and rejoins his surviving and armless mother. Against his will, he "becomes her arms" and the two undertake a grisly campaign of murder and revenge.
As much as Santa Sangre is a fevered trip into Fenix very Freudian psyche it also has a very strong slasher movie spine. In fact Fenix sees himself as an old movie monster constantly watching the 1933 version of The Invisible Man and acting out the scenes as if he himself were in the film. With brutal murders, sexual obsession and strange scenes of mutilation, disfigurement and hallucination, Santa Sangre is a surreal and original take on the genre that elevates it above other slashers crafting a film that attempts to visualize the inner madness of a disturbed mind as well as the outer actions that mind is driven to do.

8 Things you MUST do before publishing a blog post
Writing blog posts sounds straightforward enough. Write your post, do a quick proofread, and publish it to your blog. That's fine for an amateur who isn't concerned about discoverability and engagement, but a professional whose job or reputation relies on maintaining a great blog will need to do a little more work before hitting publish. The key to great content lies in the details. The next time you update your blog, remember these 8 Things you MUST do before publishing a blog post.
- Write a catchy title. The best way to draw readers to your blog is to have a title they can't resist. Two ways to capture people's attention are to start your headline with a number and include an adjective.
- Make it conversational. Most people don't want to read a dry, formal blog post. Write your post as if you're talking directly to your audience. Don't be afraid to use "you" and "I" to make it friendlier. You want people talking about your content. The best ways to do that are to use a good hook to draw readers in and include a fact or pose a question to start the discussion you hope to have in the comments section.
- Develop a strong tone of voice. Readers expect your blog posts to sound like you. That means you need a strong tone in your writing that conveys your personality and the overall message of your blog.
- Make your blog SEO friendly. Good SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the Holy Grail of getting your blog highly ranked by search engines such as Google. Keywords are the best way to make your blog SEO friendly. Include them in the title of your post, as well as in the sub-heads and paragraphs. Remember not to overdo it. If your posts are too keyword heavy, you can actually harm your SEO.
- Link out to authoritative sites in your domain. Linking your content to authoritative sites adds credibility to your post. It shows you've done the research and helps prove your expertise.
- Add relevant images. Internet users tend to have short attention spans, but images grab attention. They also break up long blocks of text to help give the mind a rest and keep the reader focused on your message.
- Give your post relevant tags and/or categories. Most blogging platforms offer the ability to categorize posts in some way. Many use tags, which are similar to keywords. These categories and tags allow you to keep your content organized. They can also help potential readers find your content.
- End with a question. One of the best ways to get comments is to include a question at the end of your post. Think about what you would ask someone to start a dialogue about the post's topic then end your post with that question.
Doing these 8 things before publishing a blog post will increase your chances of becoming a blogging success.

(Canto 2, line 21)
The "empyreal heaven" is the abode of God, variously referred to as the tenth circle of heaven or the highest heaven. The Empyrean is immobile, surrounding nine layers of circling heavens: the Moon heaven, the Mercury heaven, the Venus heaven, the Sun heaven, the Mars heaven, the Jupiter heaven, the Saturn heaven, the heaven of Fixed Stars, and the Crystalline heaven or Primum Mobile. Dante discusses this cosmology at length in Book 2, chapter 3 of his Convivio. Dante's system is a little bit different from the classical Ptolemaic system, where it is assumed that nine heavens circle around the earth, immobile at the centre. Dante seems to view things more theologically.

Are you a school in the Valley in South Texas looking for a way to motivate your students? Over the last couple of years Fabian Ramirez has had the honor of speaking at schools and conferences in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) and has been a hit every time. Having family in Harlingen, TX growing up has helped him relate to the students in that area.
Since Fabian is Hispanic, he relates really well to other Hispanic students. The Valley is 81 percent Hispanic and young, just like Fabian. The region's educational level is below the state average so when Fabian comes to speak to those students, he gets to share about how he struggled his way to receive a Masters degree. Finishing graduate school is one of the best thing he could've done for his own people group. The reason is because now students can look at him and say, he looks like me, acts like me, and he has a Masters. If he can do it, then so can I.
Fabian was the keynote speaker for a youth conference being held the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council in the City of McAllen, TX. He was able to speak to teens from McAllen High Schools about school bullying and drug prevention. He used humor to capture their attention and then gave them a heart-to-heart talk about making a difference for their families. He mentioned how they can take their family to another level just by graduating high school. He talked about his college experience and how hard it was. The things that are the hardest, are usually worth fighting for, he said. Students and adults who were in attendance walked away motivated and ready to perform well in school and as they pursue higher education.
Watch him connect with Hispanic high school students in this demo video:
Here is a list of school districts in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas area that can contact Fabian if interested in inviting him to their school:
Brownsville ISD
Donna ISD
Edcouch-Elsa ISD
Edinburg CISD
Harlingen CISD
Hidalgo ISD
Jim Hogg County ISD

WC Doctor Arrested For Fraudulent Billing; Time to Re-Check Those RX Bills
Another week, another doctor arrested for alleged workers' compensation fraud. Kafka? Law and Order? Nope, just California compensation.
Douglas J. Abeles, M.D., has surrendered himself following the issuance of an arrest warrant rooted in 31 felony offenses. The Alameda District Attorney is alleging that Dr. Abeles sent bills to insurers for procedures never performed.
According to the complaint, available here, Dr. Abeles set up several satellite companies to perform drug tests prescription compound drugs, including Physicians RX Network, Inc., Redwood Laboratory Associates, LLC, and Redwood Laboratory Management, LP, and, as alleged by the good folks at the Alameda County DA's office, submitted bills for work and services never performed.
A quick search of the EAMS lien function reflects several thousands of dollars in liens by Dr. Abeles, and 17 pages of lies by Physicians RX Network.
If you've got bills from Dr. Abeles, Physicians RX Network, Redwood Laboratory Management or Redwood Laboratory Associates, it may be time to look closer at the bills before you take out the check book.
As always, your humble blogger wishes the district attorney good luck in the course of this case,

(Back in 2008 I posting a version of this five part series on Slow Play…Interesting how nothing much has changed to improve it. I have updated it and hope you find it as informational now as it was three years ago.)
As the ice melts away from the Northern States of the USA, or any country in the Northern Hemisphere for that matter, the urge begins to get out of the house and for the golfers of the world…its time to play golf .
Some call this seasonal feeling spring fever; I call it The Golf Season. As a result of this change to better weather, millions of people who have suffered three or four months of dark isolations make the call to the golf course to book a tee time which starts a cascading of events that causes the biggest messes Golf courses around the world have to deal with… Slow Play. The issue of Slow Play is rapidly becoming the kiss of death for many golf courses.
If the overcrowding of the tee-sheet is not enough, the second issue related to the major cause to Slow Play are courses who mandate…. Cart Paths Only. The CPO is one of the many resolutions golf course management put in place for maintenance reasons that causes the bigger problem…Slow Play.
So, since it is the time of year when golfers want to get out and play a round of golf, I want to bring to everyone's attention some of the major causes of Slow Play in an effort to help all the hackers around the world understand all the factors generating slow play. Maybe this new found knowledge will help keep tempers down. Also, since I am a consultant for process and operational management, I'll offer the basis of some of the solutions to solve most of the Slow Play.
The causes of slow play are many so I will break this article up into a series to smaller installments.
Part One
First, let me list some of the basic causes of SP which when adding CPO to the mix will just amplify the problem.
True, there is a formula golf courses use to determine how many tee times they can book before saying they have filled the course for the day. This formula usually is constructed with standard time intervals between tee times. The interval of time between tee times is calculated from how long it takes a foursome of players to play each hole on the course. There are a number of related factors involved, like length of the golf course, elevations, distance between green and tees..and so forth.
Usually the standard interval between tee times is eight minutes between groups. Very seldom is it less and only at top level golf resorts and private golf clubs will the interval be moved up to ten to fifteen minutes between groups. The primary reson these facilities offer more time between tee times is they understand the problems Slow Play can have on their long term revenue flow and really care about their members or customers. However, even when stringent polices are in place changes to the tee time interval formula plays havoc to the pace of play at any golf facility.
Some of those changes are; putting a twosome or fivesome out between two foursomes; allowing a group to not tee off at their designated time; having a club manager who feels he needs a raise in pay and reduced the intervals to less than eight minutes to generate more revenue from the additional green fees. All of these changes will contribute greatly to creating slow play.
Unmanaged Starts:
Another problem related to overcrowding the golf course has to deal with Not having someone at the first tee 'in charge'* of staging the groups in order and to manage the tee times. The lack of a starter is another big contributor to slow play.
*I used the phrase 'in charge' because many times there is someone there at the starter position but they are not in charge. They are there to take slips for proof of pay and could care less if you are on time, next on the tee, have all of your group together, or, as I will talk about next, care if you can even play golf. Usually these starters are told not to take charge for a reason I will go into a little later.
Tees Played
Playing from the inappropriate tees is probably the most controversial pace of play contributor of this list of causes. Nonetheless, it is one of the many contributors causing slow play. For the one course golf facility in a community with a limited number of golf courses, having someone playing from a tee-box that does not match their golf skill level will kill any pace of play established. There is a solution which, again, I will offer soon.
Yes, Cellphones usage on the golf course rates high on the list of causes to SP. Cellphones are lovely devises and I use them on the course, but usually only to call the pro-shop to report my golf cart being broken down and on a rare occasion in the middle of the summer to find out where the beverage cart is located. Some of the other uses of the cellphone that run on the fringe of acceptable reasons is to report someone standing in the fairway talking on the cellphone instead of hitting his shot to an open green.
I cannot tell you how many times I have been standing on the teebox watching some
fool ass idiot moron person 150 yards in front of me pacing back in forth talking on the cellphone while the green, that is over 250 yards away, is now open. I have heard from many of you who say they could not play golf without the cellphone since they need to be in touch with their business or miss a sale. My response is now the same as a lot of golf courses new polices; you use it on the course and you stand a chance of losing it on the course. Yes, tough love has arrived to those who are trying to manage their business on the golf course with a cellphone. The golf course is not the place to be using the cellphone.
Playing Ability:
This issue is not one I like to mention but is a related to what causes slow play. I, like every golfer before me and after me, was a beginner golfer at one time and like every beginner golfer there comes the day they take their first round of golf to the course. Unfortunately, that day comes for most beginners before they are really ready and/or usually on a day when the golf course is overbooked.
The reasons are many why beginner golfers take their first round on a crowded course. The fact is, even if they think they are ready, the first tee jitters is one of the hardest things to get use to having. They naturally are going to make a bunch of mistakes in their swings resulting in real bad shots. First tee nerves can be experienced by us seasons veterans. However, beginner's playing ability on a crowded golf course will not improve the pace of play. What is the solution?

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco has had quite the beginning to the 2017 season, especially when pitching away from Progressive Field, but the right-hander is focused squarely on the present and future, not past results.
Speaking after striking out seven hitters and not allowing a walk over seven innings of work in a 6-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre Tuesday night, Carrasco addressed the early-season success.
"You know what? I just live in the moment right now," Carrasco said. "I keep working hard, and every five days, I just go out there and do my job the same way those guys do every five days, and that's what I've been doing."
Carrasco spread three Toronto hits over seven innings with the seven strikeouts without allowing a walk or run on the way to the victory for the Indians (18-14).
Carrasco faced the minimum of three batters in five of the seven innings he worked against the Blue Jays, and got around the hits in the first, third and seventh frames.
"They were chasing, and that's good," Carrasco said. "That's good for me and bad for them.
"Every pitch that Gomer called, I had thrown for a strike, and I got a lot of groundballs. I've got my teammates there, and they made nice plays, but I think it was everything. The way we attacked the hitters, that was good."
After getting right fielder Jose Bautista to ground into a 5-4-3 double play in the bottom of the first inning, Carrasco got two strikeouts each in the second, third and fourth frames to keep the Blue Jays off of the scoreboard.
Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Carrasco worked around a one-out single from Bautista by getting pinch hitter Steve Pearce to fly out to right field and first baseman Justin Smoak to strike out swinging for his final out of the game and the last of the inning.
At one point, Carrasco set down 13 straight Blue Jays.
"He's obviously pitching with a lot of confidence, and he should," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He is in a good place. He's been consistent in his routines, and when you start backing up starts, that's when he gets exciting.
"I think when you have the velocity, the breaking ball, change-up, you're going to because they have to respect his velocity, and with the feel he has for his breaking ball, you're going to get some chase. When you work ahead -- at one point in the game, only three hitters hit a ball behind in the count -- that's a nice way to attack."
In three road starts this season, Carrasco is 3-0 with a 1.83 earned run average over 19.2 innings of work. He has allowed just 12 hits, four earned runs, one home run and three walks against 20 strikeouts. Conversely, Carrasco has allowed 14 hits, six earned runs, four home runs and five walks against 19 strikeouts over 21.2 innings in games played in Cleveland.
"No matter where you play, you have to go in there and do your job," Carrasco said. "No matter if you play on the road or at home, it is what it is."

http://www.carscoops.com/2017/08/201...uck-to-be.htmlJeeps upcoming Wrangler pickup truck will be reportedly name the Jeep Scrambler once it hits the market in 2019.
JeepScramblerForum, a sister site to JLWranglerForums, cites inside sources about the name of the new Wrangler variant, with the Scrambler trademark name to have been renewed by FCA in March of 2015.
Codenamed internally as JT, the new Jeep Scrambler will share the 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel engine with the regular Wrangler JL. This was sort-of confirmed by the FCA sales code for the particular engine (EXJ) that revealed the program codes for each vehicle destined to receive it.
The system also didnt show the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar or the 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol units as part of the JT family but this could be due to the system being not complete yet.
The upcoming JT pickup will also offer at least 3 roof options a black three-piece hardtop, a body-colored three-piece hardtop and a premium black Sunrider soft top, which confirms that the model will also feature a removable roof.
The site also got hold of some CAD files of the 2019 Scramblers frame and axles and compared them with the current four-door JK Wrangler Unlimited, finding that the upcoming pickup trucks frame will be around 18 percent longer than the current four-door Wranglers frame.
The axles also appear to be Dana 12-bolt items which is significantly stronger over the current Wranglers Dana 44 items, raising the trucks payload capacity and tow rating. Production of the upcoming Jeep Scrambler is expected to start in late 2018, with the new generation Wrangler to be unveiled in the next couple of months, possibly at the LA Auto Show, so stay tuned.

What to do with Plastic Drawer Units
These units of drawers come in a variety of sizes, and their uses will depend on what size units you are using. They can be used to hold a number of different types of items, and will help you to organize your home, garage or work space.
1. Larger drawer units will hold fabric, allowing you to separate by color scheme or type. Organize fabric scraps using the units as well.
2. Yarn can also be organized in this manner.
3. Candles and holders, as well as incense and lighting tools, can be stored in these types of drawers for easy access.
4. A unit of the drawers will organize children's craft supplies as well, making them perfect for a daycare center.
5. Separate office supplies into the drawers when you purchase in bulk. These supplies will always be on hand so you do not have to run to the store during the work day.
6. Cans and boxes of pet food can be stored in one of these units.
7. A teacher may use one or more sets of these drawer units to separate out supplies, or for use when organizing student projects. Each child may have their own drawer.
8. In a babies room, you will be able to organize all of the accessories that come from the baby shower. Socks, mittens and bath supplies are just the beginning of what these drawers will hold.
9. Placed in a child's bedroom, the units can help to organize Barbie doll accessories, hair ties or match boxes. Lincoln Logs and Lego's can also be organized this way, if the drawers are big enough.
10. A cook can utilize drawer units by storing mix and drink packets in them, or even snack items.
11. Put a unit with deep drawers in a garage or shed to hold small tools and other mechanical or building needs.
12. In a teens room, the drawers will hold music CD's or DVD's, or even game disks.
13. A small unit placed on a desk will hold stationary, stamps and envelopes, as well as bills that need to be paid.
Once you are finished using these drawer units for one purpose, they can easily be repurposed for another. This is eco-friendly in that they do not have to be thrown into landfills. They can even be sold at a yard sale when no longer needed for anything.

It is becoming apparent that insurers are attempting to adapt their business models to issues relating to climate change. Still additional work is needed on the increase in environmental liabilities. This is according to a report by the Boston-based Ceres investor coalition.
For the property and casualty industry, the ratio of premiums to surplus stood at 0.95, by year-end 2008. Compare this with the average for the ratio of premiums to surplus for the last 50 years of 1.52 with a range from a low of 0.84 at the end of year 1998 to a high of 2.75 at the end of year 1974. In a similar way by the end of year 2008, the ratio of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves to surplus was at 1.22. Compare this with a 50 year average for that ratio of 1.43 during the 50 years ending 2008.
The current recession is causing many people who have been laid off to become self-employed rather than struggle to find another job. If you are one of those brave souls who want to take control of your own destiny rather than be victimized again, there are some things you should know about obtaining health insurance coverage. Here are some of the facts.
When you answer questions when applying for auto insurance online, you need to be honest about the answers. Although it might be tempting to not answer the questions honestly thinking that this might save you some money, you shouldn't do it. You take the risk of being charged with insurance fraud, which is nothing to be taken lightly. You even are at risk of being fined, and the carrier will discontinue your coverage. There has been a real crack down on all forms of insurance fraud by insurance carriers who have been losing money because of it.
When is the best time to compare auto insurance quotes?

Ok… so I took a good test ride around a lake here in Ningbo called Dongqian Lake. It is a perfect obstacle test track, with traffic, trails, speed bumps, long inclines, some steep hills, and some downhills as well. All things I want to ride fully loaded with my new Schlumpf, Veltop, and trailer.
This video is really rough… not big edits… I just wanted to show you my ride as raw as possible so I can get it online tonight here in china. Sorry for the shaky footage.
I also had my first wipe out, as I made a sharp turn into a boggy drainage ditch, my left tire bogged in and I rotated 90 degrees. Not a big deal, and it was something I wanted to encounter here before I went. A little mud… but besides that no biggie. I think I am a little bit top heavy with my drone box.. and that could have led to the flip a little bit.
Anyway… enjoy my shaky first fully loaded and equipped trip around Dong Qian Lake….
Also… can anyone tell me about the creak coming from my front boom? Its really annoying, and I have already tightened the 2 screws down as far as I think they should go…
Here are Links to my Garmin Data for the trip!

Timothy Lowery was deployed for the better part of a year. When he left for his deployment with the 226th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade of the Alabama National Guard, he and his wife had three daughters and weren't planning for another baby.
But, life has a way of surprising us. Suzanne got pregnant shortly before her husband was deployed. So, when Lowery returned stateside last Valentine's Day, he got to meet his only son for the very first time.
While we all wish for a day when no soldiers need to be deployed, these reunion stories never get old.

.evtx file extension
- .evtx
- Windows 2008 and Windows 7 event log file.
Also known as an event log archive file.
These files are used by Windows to record events - information messages, warning messages and error messages.
The .evtx files that Windows uses and maintaines are located in the folder:
These files (at least the ones in the folder above) should not be deleted. They can be cleared (reducing their size, but not quite to zero) using Event Viewer:
- Start Event Viewer
- Find the log (the "Application" log under "Windows Logs" is typically one of the largest).
- Right click on the log and select "Clear Log..."
You will have the option to save the log file contents else where first if you want. Otherwise this will simply clear the log file reclaiming the space used.
You can also limit the size of a log file:
- Start Event Viewer
- Find the log.
- Right click on the log and select "Properties"
- You can now specify the maximum size and what should happen when
the log file reaches that maximum size.
It is suggested that you select "Overwrite events as needed" (or "Archive the log when full" if you need to keep old events). Selecting "Do not overwrite events" can cause problems for some Windows applications should the log file become full.
Earlier versions of Windows used a .evt file.
For more information see:
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb671203%28v=vs.90%29.aspx - How to export, archive and clear event logs programmatically using Visual Studi.
Can you add to this? Do you know of any applications not already listed which will work with .evtx files, view .evtx files or open .evtx files? Are you able to contribute any additional reference information or file format information about .evtx files or have you spotted any errors or omissions? If so please let us know by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com - Thank you.
