Sulfuras for sure, the amount of items required to build it is still pretty heavy to this day.
Atiesh and this legendary necklace which dropped from Vanilla raid(only ONE in the whole world- this is REALLY Legendary).
This is most Legendary from all legendaries:
Talisman of Binding Shard(click!)
Last edited by Eazy; 2014-08-25 at 10:33 PM.
Legendary cloaks for sure. I mean no other legendary .. lol i cant get through this.
For me Sulfuras. It's the one that wish i had in its current content the most.
Thunderfury hands down. It was so good that tanks were still using it in the next expansion. Even players were using it during the first arena season in BC. It had to be nerfed by Blizz so players would start using the appropriate lvl 70 items.
Now a days a legendary is no longer BiS when the next patch comes out.
From a lore PoV - Atiesh. Medivh is one of the biggest characters in Warcraft lore, light years ahead of Illidan or Ragnaros.
From a gameplay PoV - Val'anyr. I think it really incorporates what a legendary's supposed to do. It wasn't a passive proc, in the sense that you go about your business and magic happens and you ignore it, but reap the benefits. The proc actually changed what you had to do to get the most out of it.
All the legendaries get props though, imo. Sulfuras, Atiesh and Thunderfury are the classic legendaries. Thori'dal's passive actually got built into default gameplay; Fangs of the Father and Dragonwrath both had epic questlines behind them, and Val'anyr is probably the best one in terms of gameplay. Warglaives and Shadowmourne are kinda underwhelming for me, but then again I never found Illidan or Arthas cool.
Warglaives were the truth legendary, imo. I feel as if they should get rid of the ones that are still available, and implemented one artefact that you can turn in for a legendary of your choice that you can customise. It'd be ridiculously hard to get, and it'd bring back the feeling of 'epic'.
Talisman of the Binding Shard > Shadowmourne >>>>>> Everything Else
OP you forgot Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian! How could you forget the greatest staff ever. Also fun to troll people with haha. Also I think Talisman of the Binding Shard trumps all others, purely because only one person has ever gotten one.
- - - Updated - - -
Be sincere; be brief; be seated
Warglaives > Thunderfury > Val'anyr > Sulfuras > Fangs (mostly for questline, though the proc changed how rogues worked which is amazing) > Shadowmourne > Dragonwrath > Thoridal >>> Cloak
I am the lucid dream
Uulwi ifis halahs gag erh'ongg w'ssh
Cloaks are certainly the most boring legendary, soon to be replaced by legendary rings in WoD - woopee!

E-mail has become the dominant form of communication for the job search. Although there are times when making a phone call is more appropriate, most employers prefer to receive e-mails from job seekers. As simple as it is to send a job application e-mail, there are some pitfalls. All of these can be avoided by following e-mail etiquette.
You should create a separate e-mail address so that it is easier to keep track of your correspondences. But beyond that suggestion, there are some other things you should keep in mind. One of the most common problems that I have seen is creating an acceptable e-mail subject line. Job seekers will too often write something like "regarding your job posting." That is not nearly specific enough. An example of a good subject line would include the exact name of the position. For example:
Another suggestion is to include an e-mail signature at the end of your message. Most programs--whether it's Outlook or Gmail--give you the option to include your name and contact information at the end of all your communications. This is a much better solution than putting your contact information somewhere in the e-mail body. Remember to include all methods of contact in your signature. This includes your cell and home phone number. You should also consider including a link to your LinkedIn profile.
Finally, you should pay close attention to your salutation. If you don't know the name of the person, write "To whom it may concern" instead of something like "Hello." Use Mr. or Ms. if you know their name. Do not under any circumstances use their first name. Have any more suggestions that I missed? Leave them in the comments section.

Richmond Needs a Corporate-Free City Council
Across the political spectrum, voters are concerned about the damage that
corporate money is causing in our democracy, and they want leaders who will
fight for them by reducing special interest money in our elections. Here in
Richmond, we see the continued power of Chevron and developers, who try to
buy elections directly, then influence elected officials with lobbying and promises
of support.
In 2014 Richmond voters fought back against corporate domination and elected
three progressive city council members who are truly independent from the .01%
billionaire class, rejecting all corporate money for their campaigns.
We deserve to feel confident that our council members put
our people's needs first. We need to know they aren't
keeping an ear or a hand out for donations from Chevron,
lobbyists, developers, and the big apartment owners.
Which city council candidates have not refused to accept corporate money for their campaigns?
Bates, Boozé, Rogers, Myrick, Pimplé, Uwahemu, Zepeda
Who are the only candidates who reject all corporate money?
Ben Choi and Melvin Willis
The need to get money out of politics may be the one thing Americans agree on.
Nearly everyone opposes "Citizens United," the Supreme Court ruling that
allowed corporations to spend unlimited (and unreported) amounts of money to
influence the outcome of elections.
But in Richmond, we've learned how to do something about it. We've fought
corporate control of our politics through grassroots organizing and principled
council members. Two years ago Chevron poured millions into the city council
election, yet its candidates were defeated by the power of organized, fed-up
citizens who helped elect three Richmond Progressive Alliance members. Since
then these corporate-free progressives have worked hard to get the city to deal
with the problems its residents face.
What would a corporate-free council majority mean for Richmond?
Concern: They would vote as a bloc and control the council.
Fact: All elected officials must abide by the Brown Act, which prohibits a majority
of council members from communicating about agenda items outside the council
meeting. This law assures that all points of view are heard in an open process.
Fact: RPA endorsed council members don't agree on every single issue, but
Richmond residents are guaranteed that each decision they make as
independent thinkers is free from corporate influence.
A corporate-free council majority would share progressive values. What does this
mean? It means they will respond to Richmond residents' concerns, not
those of outside corporate interests. They will apply progressive solutions to
Richmond's problems.
Corporate-free progressives on the council have supported these issues:
Addressing the budget crisis by temporarily reducing salaries of top
administrators so city services are maintained
Increased civilian oversight of the police to improve community policing
Passed rent control and just cause for eviction, and when the apartment
owners succeeded in overturning the ordinance, supported putting it on
this November's ballot
Introduced and implemented a higher minimum wage and "Ban the Box"
legislation to end employment discrimination against formerly incarcerated
Promoted development while insisting that it benefit Richmond residents
with an enforceable Community Benefits Agreement
Insisted on an open community process to determine the development of
Pt. Molate
Insisting that Chevron contribute funds to keep Doctors Hospital open
Pressed Chevron to reduce pollution and danger to the community
A corporate-free majority on the city council could also:
Expand job training programs
Repair our infrastructure
Press the county, state, and universities for a new hospital in West County
Improve and strengthen our neighborhood public schools
Can Richmond move forward with progressive solutions, or will it be blocked by
corporate influence? Will our city council have the strength to stand up to the
enormous economic and social power of developers and corporations?
Richmond won national acclaim in 2014 when we defeated Chevron's control
over our politics. We have shown that there are progressive, compassionate
alternatives to the politics of hate. The two corporate-free, principled city council
candidates, Ben Choi and Melvin Willis, are young, prepared, and experienced.
They will work hard to create the better Richmond we all deserve.
This November, let's elect a city council that represents all Richmond
communities, a council that reflects the diversity of our city. Let's have each
council member bring his or her own best and independent thinking to city
government, with one characteristic in common: let's have none of them be
influenced by corporate money.
Richmond Progressive Alliance Steering Committee

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hello my name is ***** ***** I will help you with this.
What is it you want to achieve please?
Did they quote or agree additional timescale and cost for the extra works?
So if you add the cost of the original quote to the extras, is that more than this latest quote?If so, have they said why?
Does the original contract allow them to change the price for materials and labour?
OK - well in that case they have to honour the contract. You should write and ask them to do so, as they gave a price.
You have paid for extra work etc. The contract does not allow for increase in price, so they need to stick to it.
If they refuse then you can get a Solicitor to write and say the same thing or say you will go to Court.
If they still refuse you can issue proceedings and seek a Court order making them carry out the work at the original price (plus the extras).
You would need to complete forms N1:
The court will list the matter for hearing and decide whether to Order them to do it. If the Court does and they could be in contempt of Court. They can be warned, fined or sent to prison.Can I clarify anything for you about this today please?
If this answers your question could I invite you rate my answer 3, 4 or 5 starts before you leave today.
I am only paid for my work on this question if you rate my answer, using the star system at the top of the screen. Please do not forget! Thank you.

ZAYNAR has to win this in order to justify any pretentions of becoming a force in the division. Barry Geraghty's job will be to get the grey settled as he is a notoriously highly strung individual who can tend to squander his chances through racing too keenly. That said, there is little doubting his quality and he is with the right trainer to progress further. Lough Derg has been disappointing this term but this place has brought out the best in him before so it would be folly to write him off just yet. Karabak had the privilege of chasing home Big Buck's on a couple of occasions. He probably needs slightly further than this but has chances of picking up the race if the favourite fluffs his lines. Restless Harry would come into the equation if it rains heavily while Black Jack Blues and Silviniaco Conti are improving novices that are worthy of their places in this event.

Some time ago linux was a clear winner in CPU operations, as Windows was doing a lot of unnecessary work for system calls.
The folks in Redmond have since fixed that.
One thing not yet considered in this thread: What is the number of databases
will be deployed on the server?
IMO multiple databases are much easier to manage on linux/unix than windows.

Some of the threats to specific places are highlighted in the corresponding page of the website, while an overview of the 'Top 10' key threats affecting
Civil unrest, insurgency and war. The problems for world heritage sites in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Mining and mineral exploitation. The present boom in commodity prices has resulted in a huge surge in mineral exploration activity across
Dam-building, water diversion and abstraction. Water is needed everywhere – for power generation, agricultural irrigation and industrial development. As development in
Roads and infrastructure development. Plans for major new roads through world heritage sites – such the new Serengeti highway – tend to attract strong opposition and the threat they pose can often be averted through a combination of approaches involving the international media, public protest, diplomatic and political channels. There are many smaller infrastructure development projects that are progressively eroding the wilderness values of natural heritage sites across the continent. Sites that are currently threatened by road-building and other infrastructure developments include the
Poaching, logging and resource exploitation. Most natural sites are affected to some extent by illegal hunting and other forms of resource use, but this only becomes a serious problem when the level of off-take exceeds the natural replenishment rate. Large mammals that are targeted for their valuable trophies, such as rhino and elephant are particularly vulnerable, and have been seriously affected by poaching (or eliminated altogether) in world heritage sites across the continent – from Mana Pools to Selous and Serengeti; and from Garamba and the other Congolese sites to Manovo-Gounda and Niokolo-Koba. Commercial exploitation of wildlife for meat is common in the
Human settlement, livestock and cultivation. It is a requirement for natural sites to satisfy rigorous 'conditions of integrity' before they can be inscribed on the world heritage list. In a few cases, where people were living at a site before it was inscribed, there is ongoing tension between the living requirements of these people and the desire to protect heritage values. This applies particularly to the
Climate change. The long-term impact of climate change is difficult to assess but natural sites are likely to be significantly altered as global temperatures warm. The glaciers on East Africa's high mountains (Kilimanjaro, the Rwenzoris and Mount Kenya) are melting fast and are likely to disappear altogether within two or three decades. Ecological communities will 'migrate' to higher elevations, pushing out the rare plants and animals that presently occur near mountain summits. Meanwhile, rising sea-levels may submerge coastal wetlands and mudflats such as those at Banc D'Arguin affecting the congregations of migrant waders.
Poorly regulated tourism development. Tourism brings enormous economic benefits and most African sites are not yet over-burdened by excessive numbers of visitors. There is still an opportunity to 'do things right' as far as tourism development is concerned, providing an effective regulatory framework to ensure that heritage values are protected while maximising visitor satisfaction. There are a few sites where tourism-related pressures already present a real threat, including the loss of wilderness values associated with lodge developments, camps, off-road driving and other infrastructure in some of the more popular national parks such as
Lack of political will and leadership. The job of politicians is to balance the (often conflicting) demands of various stakeholders in making development decisions. From a heritage perspective, short-term economic gains are too often favoured over longer-term goals that protect heritage values. Ever since the decision to build the Aswan High Dam in
Ineffective, under-funded management and institutional weaknesses. The agencies responsible for managing world heritage sites in
THE LIST OF WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER includes the following African sites:
Cote D'Ivoire/Guinea
Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve was added to the Danger list in 1992 on account of the threat from mining. A large part of the original trans-boundary reserve, on the Guinean side of the border, was de-gazetted to allow for a major open cast iron-ore mining operation to be undertaken in the higher reaches of the mountain. As much of the mountain consists of high-grade iron ore, there remains a very real risk of further excisions and total destruction of much of the higher-elevation forest, grasslands and unique biodiversity. The Liberian 'end' of the range has already been extensively damaged by similar mining operations in the past.
Rainforests of the Atsinanana were added to the Danger list in 2010 on account of political and civil unrest throughout the country, the withdrawal of much international aid (including funds that were critical to the management of the various separate forests that make up the property), and an escalating problem of illegal timber cutting.
Selous Game Reserve was added to the Danger list in 2014 following a massive surge in poaching of elephants for their ivory.

Early on in my time with The Roar, I was guilty of writing pieces that were 'comment chasers'; pieces designed to do little else than generate debate.
While stimulating healthy debate is a good thing, the articles in question weren't fantastic, and the conversation that resulted – though lengthy and sometimes robust – lacked intelligence, objectivity and nuance.
There was nothing healthy about the debate I started; it was simply ammunition for a code war, which is a surefire way to get people talking.
Initiating a code war was a cheap trick that left me feeling a little dirty, and I didn't really enjoy the practice. Whether it was ego or immaturity that was the cause, I'm still not sure, but I swore to myself that I would never do it again.
Rest assured, therefore, that the following piece is not a provocative attack on rugby union, nor is it designed to annoy the rah-rah crowd into such hysteria that The Roar's servers melt under the weight of comments.
Rather, this is an honest opinion: I fear for the future of rugby union in this country.
Some rugby fans will no doubt believe this to be a cheap shot from a rugby league writer. However, I love rugby and always have. I consider league and union equals in my heart.
Most of my friends played grade footy, and Norths Rugby Club has been a major part of my life, to the point that I proudly wear my 2016 Shute Shield Premiership hat most weekends. In fact, my best friend probably won't speak to me for a month after he reads this.
So trust me when I say that I love rugby, this isn't a cheap shot, and I'm not chasing comments from angry Roarers.
However, rugby is in big trouble in this country, and I was persuaded to write this by the amount of rugby fans that have their heads stuck in the sand.

There are a number of reasons why rugby isn't trending in the right direction in Australia at present, and though they may hurt to read, they're not sensationalistic claims.
Starting with Super Rugby, and it doesn't help the code that Australia's franchises are struggling to bother the 'win' column at present. It seems the only time an Australian team does win, it's because they're playing an Australian team. The lack of elite-level depth is clearly evident when it's stretched across five teams.
There's talk of Australia losing a Super Rugby club in the upcoming SANZAAR restructure of the competition, which is never a good look.
You could even argue that we should lose two teams if you're using 'quality' as a criterion.
The addition of two new franchises – the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels – was meant to increase the number of quality players via more professional opportunities, as well as grow the game in new regions. I'm not sure either objective has been achieved.
My mate Brett McKay won't like me repeating this, but it's true: with its conference system, even the Super Rugby competition itself is confusing. To the point of being of a deterrent to the casual fan. If you don't really understand how it works, it's hard to get 'into' it.
Meanwhile, when it comes to internationals, no matter how impressive the Wallabies play against other countries, the vast majority of the nation still judges them against the all mighty All Blacks, and little else. So, considering Australia's appalling record versus New Zealand over the last decade, the team is considered second-rate by many, and therefore not worthy of their eyeballs.
Success always brings back some promiscuous fans, yet winning may not even be enough to overcome rugby's harshest reality. Specifically, that the game is perceived as boring.
Such an assessment is obviously subjective, after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Rugby advocates will claim there is little wrong with the game itself; just the way it's currently being played in Australia. Truly loyal fans probably won't even admit that.
However, 'rusted on' fans are not what drive a game's growth, for they will always be there. What does ensure a game is headed in the right direction is the recruiting of new fans, or converting back some lapsed ones.
Given the product Australian rugby is presently serving up, recruitment and conversion is a tough sell. Whether you deride the sport as boring, or simply acknowledge the lack of talent is having an impact on the quality of play, the fact remains that rugby union is currently an inferior product to its competitors.
The key word to analyse in that sentence is 'currently'. All sports experience some lows, so are we simply witnessing the ebb to the flow in Australian rugby, and the game will bounce back again soon?
Sadly, that is extremely optimistic.
There are few signs that this downward trend will abate soon. Which begs the question, what is the future for rugby?
It's not going anywhere internationally. It remains the number one game in New Zealand, is a large part of the fabric of South Africa, goes from strength-to-strength in Europe, and it's growing in other parts of the world.
Yet in Australia, the news may be a little starker.
Given the success of rugby elsewhere around the globe, World Rugby is under no pressure to make rule changes to make the game more attractive simply to suit the Australian market.
However, those other markets don't have to contend with AFL, and rugby league is not a large threat. Yet in Australia, both those codes are behemoths compared to union. That means that young talent, sponsorships, TV deals, new regions, and fans, are all fought over, with rugby losing the fight.
The AFL is even making serious inroads into that most sacred of rugby union strongholds: the Sydney GPS system. It was once almost the exclusive nursery of rugby's future, but now it's just another battleground for recruiting athletic youngsters.
With the AFL and NRL's war chests full – thanks largely to lucrative TV deals – and strategic plans in place to grow their respective games, they will continue to place immense pressure on the ARU, whose financial cupboard is bare.
The quality of play isn't great. The results are poor. The crown jewel, the Super Rugby competition, is confusing. We're probably going to lose a franchise. The average fan thinks the game is boring. Grassroots development is a major concern. Competitors – armed with money and plans – are encroaching. The ARU isn't swimming in cash. There isn't a revenue-spinning Lions tour or World Cup hosting on the horizon.
I could on, and discuss things like the infighting and disconnect with clubs, but you get the picture.
All in all, I'm struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I sincerely hope someone can tell me I'm being melodramatic, and give me cause to be more optimistic.
My genuine fear is that Australian rugby – as we know it – is on death's door. Should that be the case, it's a massive shame.

Sampdoria and Parma have completed transfer business for Paolo Castellini and Jonathan Biabiany, the newly promoted club have confirmed.
Castellini, a left-back, spent last season on loan with the Marassi outfit who have today opted to sign him outright.
French winger Biabiany, 24, joined Parma on loan last term with an option to buy 50 per cent of his contract at the end of the season. The Gialloblu have now exercised that right.

I actually think they are experiencing LOTS of gravity!
I am afraid of heights…..but that was actually relaxing for me! Thank you… =]
Very cool. Beautiful scenery. 🙂
Thanks for posting this — it's the only way most of us would ever be able to experience something like that.
Hmmm…Now, someone had to think up doing that. Someone had to be the very first. How did they think it up? How did they get the courage to try it out?
I am NOT afraid of heights, but now I am hugging the sweet, sweet ground. How I love you, ground…
Iris, I AM a bit afraid of heights and whileI enjoyed the video, I do love the ground. Exactly what was keeping them from crashing to their deaths? I didn't have the sound on if it was explained…were the suits somehow responsible for their safety?
They all have parachutes which they launch. The parachutes used in BASE are generally larger than the parachutes used in skydiving, and are packed in a way that maximises the speed at which the parachute opens. Generally, BASEing is considered very dangerous, and is forbidden in many countries in the worlds. That said, people who start BASEing are typically experienced skydivers who know a lot about stabilizing your body during air flight and are also very good at flying a parachute.
That's not weightlessness, in fact , since they are falling, I think it's exactly the opposite. If anyone wants to experience the closest feeling they can get to weightlessness and still be on earth, try SCUBA diving. Astronauts say it's the closest feeling possible to walking in space.

Exactly how many things can go wrong in a brew day?
Since the disastrous house infection cost me two fermentors and huge quantities of beer, I have cooked up four batches to fill those sad empty cornelius kegs. Hops Sweepings Ale, Tettnanger Blond and Cascarillo Pale Ale are all in kegs now and, with the exception of a clearing issue with Hops Sweepings Ale, everything went without a hitch. The fourth beer, a creation of wheat and rye, using the new SafBrew WB-06 wheat beer strain of yeast, resulted in one of the worst brew days I have ever had.
ICB Awards: Rated by Members 2008
For the second year, members of Irish Craft Brewer attending the Easter Beer Festival at The Franciscan Well in Cork selected their favourites from among the Irish craft beers exhibited. (Results for 2007 are here.)
The contenders included cask beers from Carlow, Franciscan Well, Hilden, Hooker and White Gypsy (Messrs Maguire). All brought keg beers too, as did UCC Pilot Brewery and The Porterhouse. Whitewater were represented in bottled form only, and other bottled contenders included White Gypsy's Black Pearl and O'Hara's Celebration from Carlow, both stouts.
The most heartbreaking thing for a brewer to do
What could that be? Dump beer down the drain.
I, like many others in Ireland, ferment in plastic. The convenient and cheap polypropylene bucket is the workhorse of amateur brewing in the UK and Ireland. We know there are drawbacks and have been told all about scratches in the seemingly smooth surface giving nasties places to hide but how serious can the risk really be? We have all tasted first class beers fermented in plastic. I have even heard of commercial microbreweries using polypropylene fermentors, so maybe the risk is a bit overstated. Well, I can now tell you, from bitter personal experience, that the risk is very real.
The Niall Mellon Township Challenge (and Beer!)
Should you consider flying 12 hours non-stop from Dublin to Cape Town (longer in-direct) just to try a few beers? Definitely not! This is no London, Prague, or Bruges. This is SAB Miller country and what you are going to find in 99% of establishments is stuff of the yellow p**s variety, Castle Lager, Hansa pils, Black Label (Carling), Miller, if you're lucky Pilsner Urquell.
Should you consider travel to South Africa for just about any other reason? Definitely yes. The people are hugely warm, welcoming and friendly. There is something for everyone, Mediterranean climate, fantastic beaches, stunning mountain and desert scenery, vibrant cities. Then there is of course the animal life.
It is not a country without problems. A large amount of South Africans live in terrible poverty, while others live in European style luxury. There is crime but it is unlikely to affect tourists -- should you be unlucky it is usually only petty theft. AIDS is another big difficulty causing life expectancy in some of the townships to be as low as 42 years. However, there is a feeling that the country has moved on from its disturbing history and is working together for a better future. This hopefully can be achieved especially with a little help. This is what took me there with the Niall Mellon Township trust
Alcohol consumption in Ireland.
Successive Irish governments have attempted to curb alcohol consumption by artificially inflating the price with alcohol duty. The logic behind this approach is that people tend to buy less of any commodity if the price increases. The recent recommendation, by the HSE to increase alcohol duty is perfectly in line with this logic and they point to the drops in per capita alcohol consumption, in 2002 and 2003, as proof that this works, because those years also saw a rise in alcohol duty on Cider and Spirits respectively.
On the face of it, this would seem like a reasonable conclusion to draw, but if we look at the figures in a little more detail, it soon becomes apparent that the situation is more complex than that.

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBSGa) Foundation announced
today that the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) is the
recipient of its first-ever Health Champion Award, which
recognizes the organization for the demonstrated success of its
signature health and wellness program, "Triple Play (News - Alert)."
The award was presented to BCGA earlier today at the Jesse Draper Boys &
Girls Club, the site of the finale stop of Triple Play's 'Million
Minutes in Motion' mobile tour, where hundreds of kids and community
members gathered to celebrate one million minutes plus of exercise
logged across the country this summer.
The Health Champion Award was designed to recognize an individual
or organization making a positive impact on the health and wellness of
the country. Health Champions create top-tier programs that bring
awareness to health issues, help find solutions to those issues or
innovate in the field of health care.
"Boys & Girls Clubs of America has demonstrated its innovation and
commitment to being a Health Champion by encouraging kids to have
fun while eating healthier foods, becoming more physically active and
feeling better about themselves," said Morgan Kendrick, president of
BCBSGa. "Today more than ever, it's so important that we empower the
young people of our state to make healthy choices and live a healthy
lifestyle. We've seen the success of the Triple Play program first-hand
and that's why we're proud to work with Boys & Girls Clubs of America
and excited to present them the with the firstever Health Champion
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia Foundation also launched a "Health
Champion" Pandora (News - Alert) station, providing upbeat music to help kids and
adults stay on the fast track to good health. Olympian track and field
champion Gail Devers introduced the station at the event as she led the
group in a series of physical activities. The station can be found by
searching "Health Champion Radio" or going to Pandora.com/getactive.
During the past three years, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation has
partnered with BGCA and co-sponsor The Coca-Cola Company on the Triple
Play Program and its ongoing efforts to promote healthy, active
lifestyles, while combating the growing rate of childhood obesity among
our nation's youth.
With more than 3 out of 10 young people considered obese or overweight,
early education and active programming for youth is even more critical.
Since its inception in 2005, Triple Play has made more than 9.2 million
connections with kids to share the importance of physical activity and
proper nutrition through the program's three key components focused on
mind, body and soul.
A study of more than 2,000 children ages 9-14 showed that Triple Play
succeeded in getting them to exercise more and eat healthier foods. Kids
who participated in Triple Play got 90 percent of the federally
recommended amount of daily exercise, while their peers outside the
program got 78 percent. The program continues to grow, providing more
programming for kids and Clubs each year.

I find that it is much more fun reading tax cases if I root for somebody. Usually I root for the taxpayer unless they are being lame. Here are the cases in 2011, where I was glad the IRS won or in one case, that of Todd Dagres, sorry that the taxpayer won.
1. I See London, I See France - Anietra Y. Hamper v Commissioner, TC Summary Opinion 2011-17
Anietra Y. Hamper is a TV anchorwoman. She had developed a theory about deducting her clothing expenditures:
Petitioner used a self-described criterion for determining whether a clothing expense was deductible. She would ask herself "would I be buying this if I didn't have to wear this" to work, "and if the answer is no, then I know that I am buying it specifically" for work, and therefore, it is a deductible business expense
Apparently, and unfortunately for Ms. Hampers case, TV anchorwomen are required to dress like, well, CPAs :
The guidelines provide that the "ideal in selecting an outfit for on-air use should be the selection of `standard business wear', typical of that which one might wear on any business day in a normal office setting anywhere in the USA." The guidelines point out that there is no correlation between the cost of an outfit and its appropriateness for use, and generally a conservative outfit purchased "off the rack" at a local department store is more acceptable than excessively stylish items purchased at a designer boutique.
Work clothing suitable for ordinary wear is just not deductible. Even if her theory had merit, though, inquiring minds still wanted to know how it related to cotton bikini underpants and thongs. Reports of the case went viral. It definitely qualifies as the funniest decision in 2011.
2. Shoemaker's Children - Renkemeyer, Campbell and Weaver, LLP
This was a scheme cooked up by some attorney to avoid SE tax.
For the law firm's tax year ended April 30, 2004, three of the law firm's partners were attorneys performing legal services. The fourth partner was an S corporation owned by a tax-exempt ESOP whose beneficiaries were the law firm's three attorney partners. For tax year ended April 30, 2005, the law firm's only partners were the three attorneys.
Approximately 99 percent of the law firm's net business income for its tax year ended April 30, 2004, was derived from legal services rendered by the three attorney partners
Petitioner asserts that the special allocation of the net business income of the law firm for its 2004 tax year was proper because the allocation was made pursuant to the provisions of the partnership agreement. But as noted supra p. 4, the partnership agreement effective for the 2004 tax year is not in the record.

Proven methods for industry to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact are already at hand. These cost-effective solutions promise substantial return-on-investment now and in the future, without sacrificing performance or quality.
For most companies and organizations, the answers to maintaining a competitive edge in this era of rising energy costs are readily available. By applying a suite of cost-effective power and automation solutions from technology leaders like ABB, these facilities can achieve substantial energy savings today without waiting for the "alternative fuels" of the future.
Through these continuous improvement methods, existing plants and factories can systematically reduce both energy requirements and their impact on the environment. Such improvements will become increasingly valuable as fuel costs continue to rise due to today's global supply and demand dynamics, and pressures grow for environmental compliance. Products that deliver equal or greater performance while reducing energy consumption will bring greater flexibility in overcoming these pressures.
By selecting proven products and operations strategies that feature built-in energy savings, new plants and factories can start with highly efficient production and immediately begin reaping the rewards of lower costs without sacrificing functionality. Existing plants can achieve the same benefits with techniques for asset optimization that deliver greater performance from installed systems.
A Global Initiative Leads To Energy Savings
Some years ago, as part of a global initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, ABB began to concentrate on designing products that reduce energy usage and minimize environmental impact. To achieve this goal, an entirely new approach towards product design and assembly was required – taking into account the materials used to manufacture products, their energy costs during operation, and even their disposal at the end of the product life. Functionality needed to be comparable to or exceed existing products, as did ease of use, maintenance and replacement. The result: A broad range of energy-saving products that are competitively priced while providing a measurable return on the power and automation investment.
Complementing these products are operations strategies that were developed to address the issue of how products can achieve fuel efficiencies in a systematic and controlled manner.
A Measurable Impact on Efficiency
This global initiative has become increasingly important as energy costs continue to rise. Unlike homes that can achieve some degree of energy conservation by sacrificing comfort, most industrial plants rely on very specific equipment and production processes. Consequently, plant energy conservation must be found in the form of energy-saving products that don't restrict or otherwise hinder production output or quality.
Likewise, operations strategies dedicated to energy efficiency can have a profound impact on plant energy demand without compromising output. Most machinery is sized and installed with the emphasis on its applicability to the production process at critical running times. Often, energy saving opportunities can be uncovered through a comprehensive audit such as those developed by ABB. For example, the machinery in one facility was used just a few minutes during a particular production stage. But the machinery continued to run disengaged for several additional hours simply because control strategies to synchronize it with the production schedule were not in place. After a detailed performance audit, relatively simple adjustments to the plant's distributed control system allowed demand-based operation of the machinery.
In another plant, air flow to the steam boilers was not optimized to account for changes between several alternative fuels. Combustion performance was compromised, and more fuel than necessary was sometimes burned. A new control scheme based on real-time performance simulations with varied fuels provided the capability to quickly optimize combustion mixtures under varied conditions.
In each instance, annual fuel and efficiency savings were realized in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Efficiency in Asset Use
ABB operations strategies for plants and factories are the result of many years of learning the customer's business and developing a "best practices" approach to facility optimization. These strategies range from potential savings areas that can be readily observed, to sophisticated software simulations that help determine whether a plant should add new production capacity to increase output or use alternative ways to run existing production lines to achieve higher output objective.
Advanced diagnostic software is now available that uses artificial intelligence techniques to monitor irregularities in equipment performance. These diagnostics are linked directly to central control systems and can indicate whether anomalies are isolated or are symptomatic of a pending mechanical problem. The software can even forecast when corrective maintenance will be required, replacing many routine physical inspections with remote diagnostics. This approach offers big potential savings. Prior to the installation of remote asset management software, one ABB customer estimated that some 60% of the plant maintenance visits resulted in no action – representing instead either routine checks or responses to "false alarms." With the software, the number of these visits has been dramatically reduced.
Efficiency of Motion
Energy efficiency is also a byproduct of research and development programs dedicated to optimizing the efficiency of motion. For example, ABB is one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial robots that work with consistent, programmed precision for everything from making vehicles to packing chocolates. Tooling and synchronizing of multiple robot tasks has long been a costly challenge. Today, as many as four robots can be synchronized from one ABB controller, producing a virtual ballet of motion in which one robot holds a work piece in various orientations while others install multiple subcomponents. Efficiency of motion helps to ensure that when energy is used, it is used wisely.
On the seven seas, a unique modular podded propulsion system from ABB now replaces a ship's standard rear propeller, drive shaft and rudder to offer a new dimension in maneuverability. The arrangement features a drive train consisting of self-powered pods mounted outside the vessel that swivel like giant outboard motors, providing both freedom of movement and lower fuel use. A typical luxury cruiser can save up to 40 tons of fuel weekly with this approach.
Variable speed drives, which closely regulate speed and torque for electric motors, can save energy by precisely matching the output of pumps, fans, conveyors and similar systems with real-time demand. ABB calculates that its global installed base of variable speed drive systems currently save the equivalent energy of ten average power plants, while eliminating more than 60 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. With only five percent of the world's electric motors equipped with such drive systems today, the potential for additional savings is great.
Even the movement of energy itself can become more efficient, illustrated by research that now allows moving large amounts of electric power efficiently to where it is needed without building new power plants. For example, power can be transferred from one power grid to another safely and cost effectively using proven technology such as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC). This ABB-developed approach reduces cabling costs versus conventional alternating current links, and allows power to travel in either direction to compensate for demand variations.
Energy Efficiency as an Energy Solution
With dramatic surges in fuel costs, procrastination in adding fuel efficiency to existing operations can be an expensive error. Hoping that the current energy crisis is temporary, and that price spikes will eventually become valleys of lower costs, is most likely wishful thinking. Today's crisis has manifested itself through a host of different dynamics.
While yesterday's energy crises were often the ramifications of politics, the situation in 2005 is driven by classic market forces of supply and demand. The thirst for fossil fuels in the developed world is barely quenched by known reserves. Added to this is the growing demand from nations in the developing world, be it Asia, Latin America or Africa, who are putting ever-increasing demands on dwindling energy reserves.
Surely, one can assume that necessity is the mother of invention, and greater demand and less supply will result in new energy resources being introduced. Even if new alternative fuel sources appear promising, they are not a quick fix. It will take years, if not decades, to create substitutes for current fuels. Additionally, chances are good that alternative fuel sources will not bring down the cost of energy at all. Indeed, while alternative fuels may make energy more plentiful in the years to come, it is very likely they will be even more expensive than current fuels due to the highly technical processes required for extracting and processing them.
In the meantime, what can companies and organizations
do? They can take control of the situation and install proven fuel efficient
products and applications that increase their return on investment in today's
economic climate. The technology for achieving this energy efficiency is here
today. The products and applications are available, and the expertise from
technology leaders such as ABB is in place to bring optimization methods to the
plant and factory floor without delay. Investing in energy efficiency will
not take the place of searching for new energy resources. It will, however, help
industry to blunt the effects of higher fuel prices and develop the mindset that
"the other alternative fuel" is already in hand.

Made me regular
without grossing anyone out, I do want to say that I have been very constipated since I'm pregnant and my bowel movements have been very small, frequent and greasy/sticky. This stuff quickly got me cleaned out and now I'm having nice clean, regular bowel movements that pass through me effortlessly. I'm sorry to be descriptive about it, but I figure I'm not the only one who buys fiber to clean out their digestive track, and that it would be helpful for others to know how this stuff works works. I feel much better. The only slightly weird thing is that my stool seems almost fluffy in the toilet now. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It comes out very clean, but I'm just used to having heavy/dense stools. Anyway, I will keep using this stuff forever.

Flexible nanoantenna could revolutionise production of cheap solar energyAugust 11th, 2008 - 12:29 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, August 11 (ANI): Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy''s Idaho National Laboratory claim to have developed an inexpensive technology that may one day help power everything from hybrid cars to iPods with higher efficiency than traditional solar cells.
They describe their breakthrough as a method to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources, the first step toward a solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials.
The researchers say that the nanoantennas tiny gold squares or spirals set in a specially treated form of polyethylene also have the potential to act as cooling devices that draw waste heat from buildings or electronics without using electricity.
The traditional solar cells can only use visible light, rendering them idle after dark.
However, according to the researchers, the nanoantennas target mid-infrared rays, which the Earth continuously radiates as heat after absorbing energy from the sun during the day.
Infrared radiation is an especially rich energy source because it also is generated by industrial processes such as coal-fired plants.
"Every process in our industrial world creates waste heat. It''s energy that we just throw away," says INL physicist Steven Novack.
The researchers say that the nanoantennas" ability to absorb infrared radiation also makes them promising cooling devices.
Since objects give off heat as infrared rays, the nanoantennas could collect those rays and re-emit the energy at harmless wavelengths, and the researchers are of the view that such a system could cool down buildings and computers without the external power source required by air-conditioners and fans.
The research group, however, concedes that more technological advances are needed before the nanoantennas can funnel their energy into usable electricity.
A presentation on this research will be made on August 13 at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 2008 2nd International Conference on Energy Sustainability in Jacksonville, Florida. (ANI)

The Lions have delayed finalising their squad for the tour to South Africa until today. They were due to announce the replacements for the injured Jerry Flannery and Tom Shanklin yesterday but chose to take more time to consider their options.
The Ireland hooker Rory Best and Scotland's Ross Ford are on the stand-by list to replace Flannery, with Best having the advantage of being in the Ireland squad and throwing regularly to the Lions captain, Paul O'Connell, in the lineout.
Shanklin's replacement is more complicated. The Lions decided originally not to replace the Wales centre having opted to take 37 players in the expectation that some one-third of them would be involved in tomorrow' s Heineken Cup final. Munster's elimination at the semi-final stage reduced that number considerably so the tourists opted to fly out with 36 players, only for the Wales wing, Leigh Halfpenny, to suffer a thigh injury that will force him to miss the first two weeks of the trip.
The Lions are looking at a versatile player who can goal-kick. England's Delon Armitage and Scotland's Chris Paterson cover full-back and wing, with Armitage deployed by London Irish in recent months as an outside-centre, while Danny Cipriani has experience of full-back and outside-half. Wales's James Hook, an outside-half who has played at full-back and in both centre positions, has emerged as the main rival to Armitage with the Lions lacking cover at inside-centre.
"Leigh tested his thigh in training this week but he could only run at 40%," said the Lions backs coach, Rob Howley. "It was clear the problem needed to be addressed. He was very down but [head coach] Ian McGeechan reassured him that the outlook was positive and that he remained an integral part of our plans. He will play a part on the tour."
South Africa warm up for the Lions with a match against a Namibian Invitation XV in Windhoek next Friday, the eve of the tourists' opening match of their 10-game tour against a Royal XV in Rustenburg. It is the only outing the Springboks will have before the first Test on 20 June andin order to make the 80 minutes something more demanding than a training session, the home team has been packed with ex-South African internationals and Super 14 players.
The outside-half Derick Hougaard, who spent most of the season with Leicester, is in the side along with another former Tiger, the full-back Jaco van der Westhuizen, while three other Springboks, Meyer Bosman, Wayne Julies and Tonderai Chavhanga have been included to ensure that South Africa have a meaningful work-out. Five of the side are Namibian.
Armitage, meanwhile, believes that his London Irish team-mate and coach, Mike Catt, will retire from playing after last weekend's Guinness Premiership final play-off defeat by Leicester. Catt, who is 38 later this year, said after the game that he had not made a decision about his future. "I think Mike's going to call it a day," said Armitage.
Argentina have included four England-based players to face Martin Johnson's team in two Tests next month. The Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza, Sale flanker Juán Martín Fernández Lobbe, Saracens full-back Francisco Leonelli and Harlequins centre Gonzalo Tiesi have been picked for games against England at Old Trafford on 6 June and in Salta a week later.

For more information on the health nutrition included in this formula, please read the following:
Essential Fatty Acids (OMEGA 3, 6 & 9)
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) must be obtained through the diet because the human body cannot make them. EFAs include: Omega-3, Omega-6 & Omega-9.
EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. EFAs to repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to obtain optimum nutrition and expel harmful waste products.
EFAs help regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, fertility, conception, and play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and encouraging the body to fight infection.
Amino Acids
Amino Acids are central building blocks of proteins and are important for the growth and repair of muscles, bones and skin. Amino acids also enable vitamins and minerals to carry out their jobs properly and efficiently
Fibre dietary helps you to maintain healthy bowel regularity and can help is lowering cholesterol.
*Fiber influences the digestion process from start to finish.
* Fiber slows down the eating process and helps contribute to a feeling of being full, which in turn can help prevent obesity from overeating.
* Fiber slows digestion and absorption so that glucose (sugar) in food enters the bloodstream more slowly, which keeps blood sugar on a more even level.
* Fiber helps to nourish the lining of the colon. In addition it provide fuel for the rest of the body, especially the liver, and may have an important role in metabolism.
Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.
