Being a member of the GymGo team has enabled me to meet some pretty amazing fitness pros as well as new clients. One of my favorite qualities of this platform is that I can plan workouts for my clients when they are travelling. Both on-demand sessions and live sessions are offered, and have become a great way to supplement regular workouts when on-the-go! Check out my GymGo profile at:
Most people know that the aloe plant can be healing when used topically, but many don't realize that the aloe leaf is one of the oldest healing remedies for many conditions and that drinking aloe in water can aid in circulation, assimilation and elimination. It can ease arthritic pain, lower high cholesterol, and prevent kidney stones among other uses. It can soothe ulcers, gastritis, IBS and help muscle functioning.
Living in Arizona, we have easy access to aloe plants. Every home I have lived in has had several plants in the backyard, therefore, drinking aloe water is easy and can provide wonderful healing and preventative qualities on a daily basis.
Aloe Water ingredients are:
-1 fresh aloe leaf (2 inches long)
-12 oz of water
Scoop out the gel and blend with water for 10-20 seconds. Drink immediately on an empty stomach for maximum benefit.
If aloe isn't as easy for you to find growing naturally, it can be purchased in the produce section of most supermarkets.
Many of my health concious friends and clients are purposeful about eating berries regularly. But some don't realize the nutritional quality of the grape! They are rich in Vitamins A, C and B-complex as well as minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, boron, manganese, selenium, and potassium! They contain high amounts of antioxidants which are anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-aging, and anti-cancerous! Black grapes are by far the most nutritious, and their seeds can be juiced for enhanced health-promoting properties. Choose organic when possible and enjoy this sometimes over-looked powerhouse!
I know we are in a time crunch this month with extra errands, parties, etc... Because of that, I believe that HIIT workouts combined with mind-body workouts are essential. We can get the calorie burn and metabolism boost in the high intensity sessions but we also need the balancing that the mind-body (pilates, yoga, t'ai chi, etc.) offer! Don't forget to boost your immune system with your greens and essential oils!
Even though I LOVE fruits and vegetables, I still have a hard time getting enough in on a daily basis! It usually comes down to my busy schedule or the fact that I can't stock them fast enough to supply the whole family. Anyway, I am so grateful to be able to use a powder that supplies 52 herbs and nutrient rich superfoods, as well as 34 fruits and vegetables. I put this in my water every day and I can really tell that I get the nutritional boost that I was missing. Love my greens!
Are you having one of those days... where you don't feel like going to the gym? Sometimes the hardest part is literally getting there! We all have days like that every now and then. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but I can promise you it will be worth it! So lift those weights, get on that elliptical, take that yoga class... whatever you do to move today, you will NOT regret it!
I have finally found the supplements that I have been looking for that I can recommend to my clients to help improve their nutritional intake and enhance their workout results. My client feedback is 100% positive. View my website and contact me if you are also looking for that competitive edge in nutrition and wellness: http://www.pattyjarrellfitness.myitworks.com

February: The Plan of Salvation
"This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" (Moses 1:39).
Understanding the plan of salvation is fundamental to spiritual learning. Everything a young man learns about the gospel—and what he learns about temporal things—should be placed in the context of the plan of salvation so that he can discern between that which is eternally significant and that which is not. When a young man truly understands the plan of salvation, he lives with greater purpose. He sees his trials and adversity as opportunities to grow. He makes choices based on their eternal consequences rather than seeking immediate gratification. He is able to find happiness and joy.
To make Duty to God part of the Sunday quorum meeting, you may consider teaching the Duty to God outline below during this unit.
Outlines to choose from this month:
- What is my role in fulfilling Heavenly Father's plan? (Duty to God)
- What is the plan of salvation?
- What happened in the premortal life?
- What is the purpose of life?
- Why do the choices I make matter?
- Why do we have adversity?
- How can I find comfort when someone I care about dies?
- Why should I treat my body like a temple?
Consider how you can plan activities that connect with what the youth are learning. A youth activities site is available to assist you. Many of the learning activities in these outlines could also serve as effective Mutual activities. Work with quorum presidencies to select and plan appropriate activities that reinforce what the young men learn on Sunday.
Duty to God
The following sections from the Duty to God book relate to the lessons in this unit:
"Priesthood Duties," pages 23, 46–47, 70–71
"Invite All to Come unto Christ," pages 28–29, 50–51, 72–73

HYANNIS — More than a decade into its fight against Cape Wind, the project's primary opposition group is still raking in millions of dollars in contributions, according to its latest filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
The $2 million in contributions to the nonprofit Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound in 2011, however, doesn't cover the group's expenses to date, which include donations to the town of Barnstable to pay the municipality's Cape Wind-related legal fees.
Although the alliance raised more than $24 million over the past 10 years to fight the proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm, the group was nearly $1 million in debt as of the end of 2011, according to Form 990 for that year filed with the IRS on Thursday.
"The trend is positive," alliance president and CEO Audra Parker said about a decline in the group's debt from $1.3 million in 2010 to $914,000 in 2011. "Our goal is to obviously pay it over time."
The amount raised over the past three years has steadily increased and the amount contributed by donors in 2011 is $300,000 more than the $1.7 million raised by the alliance in 2010.
The past year has been good for the fight against Cape Wind, Parker said, citing a legal victory in federal court that remanded a Federal Aviation Administration approval for the project back to the agency and the denial of a federal loan guarantee for Cape Wind by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The FAA issued a new approval for the project in August that the alliance and the town of Barnstable have again challenged in court.
The group continues to receive strong support for its legal fight against Cape Wind, Parker said.
"We will continue fighting, continue to get the support we need for the legal fight and we will win," she said.
Although nearly 70 percent, or $1.4 million of the $2 million, in contributions during 2011 came from eight donors, the remainder was from small donors concerned about the project's costs and other issues, Parker said.
The amount of support in the form of large contributions is in line with the group's history of being largely funded by a small group of wealthy donors, Cape Wind spokesman Mark Rodgers said.
"We have more of the same as far as about a half-dozen people making the lion's share of the donations," Rodgers said.
And, the alliance's tax forms do not appear to properly account for money the group donated to the town of Barnstable for legal fees to fight the FAA approvals, he said.
The alliance spent $857,039 in 2011 on legal expenses, of which $500,106 was paid to two law firms — Perkins Coie LLP in Washington state and Ayres Law Group in Washington, D.C. — according to the tax forms.
The forms do not outline how the remainder of those legal fees was allocated.
Sections on the IRS form where organizations should list grants to governments, organizations or individuals are blank. However, invoices provided by the town of Barnstable's finance department reflect $175,000 received from the alliance and paid to the law firm of Kaplan, Kirsch and Rockwell LLP from March through December 2011.
In recent Form 990 filings, at least $355,000 donated to the town of Barnstable over the past several years has been included in a more general category for legal fees, Parker said.
"It's a legal expense that we're paying so it falls into legal," she said.
IRS spokeswoman Peggy Riley declined to comment on the question of where a nonprofit organization must include donations that are then spent on legal expenses and referred a Times reporter to the instructions for filing Form 990s.
"From my perspective the alliance's lack of transparency here continues their record of hiding the ball on who's calling the shots and who's paying the bills to thwart Cape Wind," said Sue Reid, vice president and director of the Conservation Law Foundation Massachusetts, a vocal proponent of the project.
Cape Wind has sold more than 75 percent of the power it expects to generate from the 130 turbines the company wants to build in Nantucket Sound. Although Cape Wind has secured all of its required permits, the project still faces legal challenges from the alliance and other opponents, and the company has yet to announce how it will be financed.
The company has already spent more than $50 million on permitting and other aspects of the project, which is expected to cost more than $2.6 billion to build.

my rabbit Sienna has grown pretty large nails over the past several months. i don't think they're becoming a serious problem, but i occasionally see her flicking her back paws while moving around, which i think can mean that they're getting caught in the blanket i have set down for her. i've tried to trim her nails in the past but she usually pulls away from me when i try to lift a paw. i obviously don't want to force her to stay put, but her nails are just getting too long. i could take her to a vet to have them do it but having them do it rather than me probably won't make it any easier. i also lack a decent carrier to bring her in. i've watched many videos on it, but because Sienna is so afraid of being lifted up off the ground by any human, they don't help me too much. has anyone else dealt with a similar problem who can help me out?
I think the only way is for her to be held still on the ground by two determined and understanding friends or relatives. Then you could cut the claws whilst the others hold her, if you are sure that you know how to do it (not too short) and you have the proper tool. The only other alternative is to take her to a vet.

While I am the biggest moe-nut I know, this direction for Kaori's character may not be the best idea:
Making her vulnerable, indecisive and "cute" has the same effect of what happened when the same was applied to Kanu Unchou of the Ikkitousen franchise:
Damage of character integrity.
Both warrior women are defined by the fact that they are (legally) adults who are the sole voice of reason, maturity and dignity amongst the women of the cast.
For crying out loud, we are already more than satisfied with a cast of adorable 14 to 16 year old Tsunderes, nuns, busty glasses clad shy cuties, mikos and psycho twin tailed lesbians. Yay, I'm taking Kuroko-chan AND Index-chan home with me!!
There is NO need to lower a dignified and honorable Lady Warrior, a noble Dragon Amongst Men, to the level of a helpless and vulnerable child to further pander to the indiscriminant need for cuteness.

It might not help that she... uh, wasn't that "dignified" and have that cold(-ish) persona to begin with. Her coldness stemmed from her being unable to save Index from losing her (Index) memories of her (Kaori) and the aftermath of it.

Rome Catholic and Angelican don't share information too often, Index isn't going to tell which method works or not, she does all the decoding in her head.
And you're not getting my point, they do not want the book decoded at all. No they're not going to take that chance, no they don't need that power at all. and yes they would resort to killing her if they deem so.
No, you cannot destroy magic books, that's the problem in the first place. The second best thing they could do is to seal it. However that means that people would still find reasons to fight for them.
Orsula was trying to decode the book because she figure by understanding how the book is written, she might be able to find a way to destroy them. That is why she wanted to decode the books, and this is obviously against the wishes of the Church cause despite all their talk, those who control the grimoire control a very powerful weapon and they wouldn't want it destroyed.

Destroy magic books? Index pointed that out already that the reason why they are sealed instead of destroyed is because they can't be done so.
Decode? Look back to episode 1, one of the possible consequences of trying to understand a grimoire. A normal magician reduced to the level where cats can injure them.

I'm curious how Orsula was able to decode the book--albeit unsuccessfully--if she didn't have access to the Vatican's secret library. Apparently they put digital copies of religion-ending magic tomes on their library computers so students at Seminary can write their dissertations?

Look at it this way, even if Orsula doesn't intend to use the Book of the Law, what happens if someone were to kidnap her and coerce her into revealing it? The Book is nothing without a decoder, and since you can't destroy the book, you kill the decoder.
You know, they never did explain why the Book is considered so dangerous, aside from the whole 'end the age of Christianity' thingy. It was said that the original author of the Book of the Law, 'Edward Alexander', was able to summon an 'Angel'.
Angels in Toaruverse are beings that beyond powerful, they have spells that can affect the planet on a global scale as well as control other celestial bodies like the Sun and stars.
Or maybe she had access to the real Book, but nobody thought she could actual do it?

By the way, why was it that Kanzaki was just an observer? I couldn't really understand her role in this arc. I mean, I got that the Amakusa are trying to make up for apparently getting slaughtered in previous battles and want to follow "a righteous path" because Kanzaki felt guilty for their deaths, but really, I didn't get why Kanzaki was there at all. Her role seems kind of forced and contrived in this arc. I'd rewatch it, but the parts where she's on screen seemed mostly throw-away.

She was the main reason why the Amakusa were fighting for their beliefs. However, she has decided that she wants them to learn to fight without her presence, so that they can develop on their own. One can call Kaori's care for Amakusa as somewhat motherly, don't you think?

first and foremost how the heck does the book of law was send to the japan to begin with. Well the Roman Catholics use it for making their religion bigger. They plan to display it on a museum now look at that why would they display a grimoire on a museum just for ordinary japanese to look at it and be evangelize to become a catholic. But like an ordinary citizen can even understand such thing. Well for an ordinary citizen a grimoire is just a book. Look at index she doesn't have mana that's why she's the store or library of books.
Theirs a borderline of magicians and espers. One who doesn't release an Aim is not an esper and can become a magicians. Now they are displaying it to see a possible recruit. Look at Agnese background story. She's in dumps. The anime skips the part where she even eats garbage and cockroach to survive. But the Roman Catholics found her and find potential on her and recruit her.
They use the book and their gospel to find recruits and make their over 2 billion member more bigger. Now back to the grimoire of why even show it to the public. Well a magician would be toasted if he/she reads it but an ordinary citizen without magic training or any kind of training in manipulating mana would probably take less damage but their would be a reaction. And if their is a reaction their is potential.
Now the troublesome part is here. If you had potential it's either join or be abandon or worst be killed by the Roman Catholics. Remember the Roman Catholics of toaruverse are the same when the Roman Catholics are still not known around the world. They go to your country conquer you and spread their words. Dark Times.
Now back to the book of LAW. The book of law is known for "MAGICIANS" that it would lead to Christianities end but it's not like a normal citizen would understand such thing because for them it's just a book. For a magcian a grimoire is poison. Look at episode 1. They purposely show it so you would understand on what would happen when a lowly magician tries to "PEAK" a "BIT ONLY" on the grimoire. Ouma from episode 1. Still didn't fully acquire the book he need. His still beginning to read it but the damage is that fatal already. Now if a magician tries to decode that book of law. Imagine what would happen. Many tried to decode but many was sacrifice too and all that sacrifice are in vain to begin with. Because all lead to "wrong" answer. It's not the answer that they expect it would lead them too.
To destroy a grimoire one needs to know it's content because hidden on it is the way to destroy it. Grimoire are protected with the magic knowledge embedded on it. The knowledge itself is the poison that would rot your brain.
Now onto the book of law again. Why was it in japan? for advertisement or gospel or channelization or just for the sake of "ordinary people" to know christianity. To become wildly known. But when the news of the "book of law" is being sent to japan for displaying of course magicians would be interested on it and not just ordinary people. Magicians that want to destroy the reign of Roman Catholics. It works as a way to spread Roman Catholics and also a trap to lure on who wants to end it. That's why I said it's either join, abandon or be killed law.
The roman catholics sealed the original book of law inside the deepest vault of vatican library which is protected by vatican. Now if you want to go agains the roman catholics headquarters then you need to at least bring down an arch angel level to go against them.
Their are lots of copies of book of law. But that's useless for magicians because it doesn't had the knowledge they need but can be used as a reference for grimoire decoders like Orsola. Orsola evangelize and spread the word of god and with it she also studies grimoire and ways to destroy it. And the book of law being the most dangerous she wants to destroy it the most.
Roman catholics doesn't had a single reason on wanting it to be decode even if it would lead to destroying it because the even if at first you want to destroy it. The knowledge might poison your mind or you would ended up drunk by power and ended up going against them.

As for Kanzaki's motive, she just wanted to see if the Amakusa have strayed from their path, and whether they could carry on without her or would they just fall apart.

They are already planning to bluff. They don't plan on actually using such destructive power. So why do they need to actually decode it? Just bluff that they decoded it as well.
Look- it didn't even need to change the plot. Someone could point out that a bluff is dangerous and commits them to a high risk of being called on it. Then they decide to go with Touma's plan- which is fine by me, that would make sense.
But instead they made it seem like the problem was that the decoding wasn't correct, which made the bluff impossible.
You all got your fanboy blinders on. I like A Certain Magical Index, but this arc just sucked. There is some potential there in the story, but the execution was terrible.

2: The anime still should be able to stand on it's own without having to refer back to the text. I don't mind the text adding to the richness of the anime, but the anime shouldn't be full of plot holes.

(Actually, rather than an Angel, I suppose summoning a big flaming golem would do the trick as well... Which was what they did.)
The funny thing is, if you can accept that the bluff might not work, then why do you condemn their plan to jump straight into setting up a giant Innocantis? Does it really matter so badly that they show every single options to consider? For that matter, what issue do you have with the plan than they eventually used? Was it wrong in anyway?
Maahhh~ I wouldn't call it a fanboy blinder, I'm just more open to ideas that might explain certain actions, rather than take the easy way out and label things as 'plotholes'. Plus it helps to not exaggerate minor details and stuff.

Volocopter Two-Seater In Development
E-Volo, a German company that successfully flew an innovative electric-powered vertical-takeoff aircraft in 2011, now says it is ready to build a two-person design. Germany's transport ministry will have to create a new category and develop new regulations to allow the aircraft to fly, and E-Volo says that process is under way. The company said they hope to achieve extensive endurance testing of the passenger cabin, the landing framework and the rotor array by this summer, so they can start test flights this year.The company said it plans to exhibit a full-size mock-up of its Volocopter at Aero 2013, in Friedrichshafen, Germany, in April. Germany's federal ministry of economics and technology has granted the company a subsidy of about $2.6 million to help cover the costs of the project.

The Haruhi order doesnt make any sense at all. How the heck can u watch Lone Island Syndrome II first...
My conclusion is that the point of Haruhi's order and the interaction with Kyon is to further reinforce the view that without Kyon, Haruhi would swing wildly out of control, thus the world will be destroyed and remade many times over. With Haruhi selecting and subsequently interacting with Kyon, the human race is able to evolve at a slow, controlled pace and develop both knowledge and supposedly supernatural powers while the laws of physics are obeyed, but subsequently linking up with more discovered laws slowly.
In a nutshell, Kyon is the voice of reason and is correct most of the time but he is useless to the human race without Haruhi. Haruhi on the other hand has great potential for our auto-evolution, but will destroy us and our world without Kyon's help.
Otherwise Haruhi wud juz blow through entire chunks of the laws of physics without any proper connections, possibly creating a horrendously chaotic world. It is already said by Koizumi that huge blue giants cannot exist due to their weight. Thus godzilla cannot exist, but ants CAN carry loads of up to 50 times their body weight. This is the properties of the initial world She has created, and for it to be lost would be a sad thing indeed.

Haruhi and Kyon are complementary and necessary for each other... order and chaos. I find it most entertaining to view the show first in aired order (haruhi) and then in timeline order (kyon). Viewed both ways you catch a lot of the nuance as well as the skill of the VAs in showing the relationship growth.

If you watch the series in all possible orders then the true nature of the universe will become clear. However this means watching it 87,178,291,200 times. The only way to do this in your lifetimes is to speed it up about 100,000 times so each permutation of the series is compressed into a blipvert lasting approx 1/40 second. Sadly this will cause you to explode.
The next best thing is to watch it in both orders.
I agree with those who say that you must {grit your teeth and} watch "episode 00" first, since I think the whole point of that episode is misdirection — when I first saw it, like many people I assumed the central character that was being called "Mikuru" within the dorama must in fact be Suzumiya Haruhi, since the whole ep. focussed on her. Only after the (false) credits had rolled did the truth dawn and the true style of the series become clear. Very clever, but a rather overlong joke I felt.

not a overlong joke if u have already read the novels like alot of Japanese hu picked up the series in Japan due to Hirano Aya's live-action commercial did before it was aired. ^^
It IS however overlong for those hu have not already read the novels, which makes most of the world. The popularity of SHnY however shows how alot of ppl manage to make it thru, and were rewarded as a result

The numbering NSW gave you is in the Kyon order (based on the aired episode's sequence) put in the chronilogical (Haruhi) order.
To make it less confusing:
Kyon order/Haruhi order

Not sure if anyone else posted this idea, but i think the best order would be showing episode 2 first, so that viewers have an idea of at least whats going on, then showing them in the order they were aired on TV. Because i know for a lot of ppl, just being thrown into episode 1 (00) sorta got them confused and im sure it turned some ppl off, but yet the TV aired order actually makes it much more interesting and makes ppl eager to watch the next episode and try and fill in the gaps.
I know that when i watched it in chronilogical order, i was actually sorta bored with some of the episodes, but when i watched it how they aired it on TV, it was a lot more interesting and attention grabbing.
Just my 2 cents though.

I watched episode 0 first and watched the rest in chronological order. I watched 0 because I thought that it was in the chronological order (just that it was going to have flashbacks). I watched the episodes in chronological order later (when I learned that they were all shuffled) since I like animes that are easy to understand.
However, I would recommend watching it in airing order since it leaves you with a "Ooooh, so that's what happened!" feeling of surprise which isn't bad. Also, the character development and the ending is better that way.

You should read the threads... part of it was just artistic. Kind of like watching a Twilight Zone episode or reading Slaughterhouse Five (Vonnegut).
The time-out-of-sequence imitates the disorientation Kyon feels in this situation.
The other reasons are more mundane.... organizing the events that way leads up to a climax that lesser beings can handle (oooh, monsters! and Kissing! ... the world is returned!).
I found the Kyon order very satisfying for a first view... but when I rewatch it I usually follow the chronological order because I find the "daily life" and that last "rain" episode very pleasant to end out on.

|16. Abstract
This project included a background literature synthesis and observational field study. The research goals were to document driving problems and errors at intersections, for older drivers using their own cars to travel familiar and unfamiliar routes, and to measure how well they could be predicted by prior tests given in an office setting. Volume I presents the field study methodology and results; Volume II presents the background synthesis.
Field observations of intersection negotiation were conducted using 82 subjects, age 61 and older, referred to the California Department of Motor Vehicles for special testing. The subjects first completed a functional test battery measuring vision, attention capabilities, and head/neck flexibility. They then underwent on-road testing administered by DMV examiners. Subjects were administered the test on both an unfamiliar and familiar route, unless the testing was prematurely terminated for safety reasons. During the on-road tests, a miniature, multiple-camera apparatus in the driver's own vehicle recorded visual search behaviors, brake and accelerator use, and traffic events in the forward scene. Analysis of the videotaped data revealed a high incidence of visual search errors. Many common behaviors were included (such as failure to look to the sides when traveling through an intersection on a green light) that were technical errors, but which rarely require an emergency response. The highest error rate for an actual maneuver, as captured by the cameras, was making a lane change with an unsafe gap. This problem was exaggerated on the low familiarity test route, where drivers had no expectation of where the next turn would occur. Analysis of errors recorded by the DMV examiners followed the same general pattern as the video-based error classification, where scanning errors predominated across both familiar and unfamiliar test routes, and maneuver errors occurred less frequently. Those driving errors observed most often by the examiners included failure to stop completely at a stop sign, stopping over a stop bar, improper turning path, and stopping for no reason. Regression analyses examined the relationships between functional test results and weighted examiners' error scores. Speed of response on visual discrimination tasks was the best predictor, but no single measure accounted for more than 18% of variance on the criterion.

TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday signed into law the main elements of his "jobs agenda" for this year, which includes another small cut in the corporate income tax and changes in the state's unemployment compensation program.
Scott also signed a measure to scale back the size of an unemployment tax increase due this year for nearly 460,000 businesses. The tax will still go up, but not as much as once anticipated.
The governor lauded the measures and said they would help his goal of bringing down the state's jobless rate and attracting new jobs to the state. Florida's current unemployment rate is 9.6 percent.
"The passage of these important bills is a huge victory for the future of Florida's economy," Scott said. "Let's always remember everything we are doing is going to help families get back to work."
Still the overall package is a far cry from what Scott advocated as both a candidate and during his first few months in office. Scott was rebuffed last year by the GOP-controlled Legislature when he asked for nearly $2 billion worth of tax cuts, including a sizable reduction in the state's corporate income tax. The job creation plan Scott touted as a candidate called for eliminating the tax over a seven year period.
Scott, however, has been forced to settle for a much smaller cut in the corporate income tax. This year's change will reduce the number of businesses that have to pay the tax by increasing the amount of income exempt from $25,000 to $50,000.
The governor contended that he could still accomplish his goal of eliminating the tax, but he said it was dependent on whether the state's economy continues to improve. State lawmakers have confronted budget shortfalls during Scott's first two years in office, which has made legislators reluctant to endorse the sizable tax cuts the governor wants.
The corporate income tax cut was included in a broader tax cut package that will cost nearly $120 million a year going forward. The legislation (HB 7087) includes targeted tax breaks, such as a one for a meatpacking house proposed for Marion County and others for expanding companies that purchase industrial machinery and equipment.
Lawmakers also included a reenactment of the popular back-to-school sales tax holiday. Between Aug. 3 and Aug. 5, shoppers will not have to pay state or local sales taxes on clothing worth $75 or less or on school supplies worth $15 or less.
Alan Stonecipher of the Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Policy, a liberal think-tank, questioned handing out millions in tax cuts at the same time that legislators were forced to slash $300 million from state universities, lay off state employees and cut back on health care programs to help balance the budget.
"They are making choices that suit them but I don't think they suit the majority of the people of Florida," Stonecipher said. "We keep having year after year reductions yet we give away tax money to a few select corporations."
Scott signed four bills on Wednesday, including a measure (HB 7023) that gives him more control over regional workforce boards that control money for job training.
He also signed a bill (HB 7027) that aims to revamp the state's unemployment compensation system into a "reemployment assistance" program. The law requires the state to offer training to individuals who score low on a work skills test..
The unemployment compensation bill also scales back a proposed tax hike for this year and will save employers more than $800 million over the next three years. The change means that the minimum tax rate this year would jump from $72.10 per employee to $121. The initial hike would have increased the tax to nearly $172 per employee. The legislation would also cap the maximum amount per employee at $432 instead of $459.
Businesses pay unemployment taxes that are used to provide benefits to those who are out of work. But the problem is that the trust fund used to pay those benefits has been drained due to the state's high unemployment rate.
Since 2009, the state has been forced to borrow $2.7 billion from the federal government to keep the trust fund solvent. The state - which manages the trust fund outside of the regular state budget - has paid part of the money back. But now it's paying interest on the unpaid balance, which is passed on to employers through a once-a-year assessment.
State legislators initially voted in 2009 to increase the taxes in order to replenish the fund, but have delayed the tax hikes in hopes the economy would recover.

Home sellers have the upper hand in today's market, and higher prices aren't �all they're commanding. Buyers are forced to make increasing sacrifices in hopes of landing a new home.
'In this strong seller's market, sellers are drunk with power,' says Holden Lewis, NerdWallet's home expert. 'They know in this competitive landscape they can force buyers to flatter them and give up protective contingencies. It happens when a house attracts multiple offers and buyers have to stand out from the crowd.'
� MORE: A home buyer's guide to motivated sellers
Here are �some common �things buyers today can expect to encounter, or hoops they might have to jump through.Surveillance cameras at an open house
It's not unheard of for a seller to put home security cameras to use during an open house, and a good number of Americans think it's perfectly fine. A recent NerdWallet survey, conducted online by The Harris Poll, found that 90% of Americans think it would be helpful for a home seller to put up such cameras for buyer showings. And more than one-fourth (26%) say such footage would be helpful to get a better idea of who the home buyers are prior to accepting �an offer.
Depending on how �the footage is used, it could teeter on discrimination. But 36% say it'd be helpful just to get feedback on the home.Higher earnest deposits
Earnest money is a sum buyers put up as a show of good faith " if they walk away from the sale for reasons that aren't spelled out in the contract, that money goes to the seller. In a seller's market, the amount sellers ask for can trend higher, requiring potential home buyers to dig deeper into their pockets.Love letters
Personalized offer letters are common, �in which buyers tell the current homeowner why their offer should be considered above all others. Some such letters include family photos and other details that scream, 'Like me!' Money talks, but likeability could make one offer stand out.Cash buyers
Traditional buyers, with a lender's preapproval letter in hand, might be competing today with more all-cash buyers. The historic average rate of all-cash buyers is 10%, according to Freddie Mac. This rate peaked at 35% during the housing crisis. In 2017, it fell to 21%, according to the National Association of Realtors. Though no longer dramatically high, buyers now are far more likely to compete with investors and other cash buyers than they were before the crisis.Noncontingent offers
An offer that isn't contingent on the positive outcomes of a home inspection or appraisal, or on the sale of a buyer's current home, may be more attractive to sellers. These contingencies are typically written into contracts to protect buyers' interests, but leaving out the protections could entice sellers who want a smooth transaction.
'You know, it's hard out here for a home buyer,' Lewis says. 'Eventually the power imbalance between sellers and buyers will lessen. Until then, buyers will have to swallow the indignities of the homebuying process and have persistence, knowing that they might have to make a few offers before finally snagging a home.'

Kylie Minogue opens the show with her 1987 remake of "The Locomotion." Can you believe that was 25 years ago? Kylie's face can't. Also, her dress is more a shirt. LEGS ARE NOT PANTS. Kylie does come down from the stage onto the dance floor and do a little shimmying herself, because she seems like one of the most fun people on the planet.
Tom interviews Kylie and says, "Now that song came out 25 years ago, back when you were 7 years old." I love him so much.
Footage from last night: Melissa and Tony were psyched about their first perfect score. Tony is giddy in the post-score interviews. It's great to see him so happy. They've often saddled him with the "women of a certain age."
During Shawn's "samba," they caption someone at the judges' table saying "What?!" As they leave the stage Derek says, "I'm almost to the point where the lower the score Len gives us the better." OK, I'm done with Derek. I don't care how good of a dancer and choreographer he is, that's just being a brat.
So, what are the fates of Melissa & Tony and Shawn & Derek? You can save your smelling salts a while longer, because they're both safe.
Brooke interviews the male stars still in the competition. To sum up: They all like one another, none of them want to go home, and they'll be sad if any of them go home.
And then it's a number featuring the cast of "Newsies." I somehow missed out on the love so many women my age had for this movie, so I can't say it has a nostalgic pull for me. There is a lot of neat dancing involving the slippery properties of paper.
Ne-Yo is singing "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)." You go, Ne-Yo — give it up for all the girls with low self-esteem. Woot!
Footage from last night: Kirstie is at least having fun. Kelly and Val did well and Kelly looks freakin' adorable in a hooded sweater during a post-show interview. She's like a cutely sexy elf with a pottymouth.
So, either Kirstie & Maks or Kelly & Val have the lowest combined score and are going to be eliminated. To the shock of absolutely no one, it's Kirstie and Maks. Even they knew that's how it was going down.
The pros are finding all the extra twists of the season challenging and sometimes frustrating. (I save you guys so much time, summarizing these montages.)
Oh, for heaven's sake. Now, they're combining dances and "themes" and the couples are picking for each other. Even Tom acknowledges the producers are just playing with them this season.
• Kelly & Val pick "Caveman Hustle" for Emmitt & Cheryl
• Emmitt & Cheryl pick "Knight Rider" Bangrha for Shawn & Derek (It's an Indian folk dance. Thank goodness someone whispered that in BrookeBot2000's earpiece.
• Apolo & Karina pick "Mad Monk" Merengue for Gilles & Peta
• Gilles & Peta pick "Big Top" Jazz for Apolo & Karina
• Shawn & Derek pick "Espionage" Lindy Hop for Emmitt & Cheryl
• Kelly & Val will dance "Surfer" Flamenco
Y'all, I may have to start a fund for the therapy I'm going to need after this season.
Oooh, ballet. I wish the lighting weren't so atmospherically orange and dim - I'd like to see this better. It's Anna and Val, dancing ballroom and Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild doing the ballet half. (Shoe watch: Tiler is in toe shoes and the Anna is in ballroom heels.) It's a lovely routine, beautiful and graceful.
Footage from last night: During Apolo & Karina's first routine, Bruno says, "He's bloody good, Len." As Gilles and Peta do their quickstep, Len is shouting encouragement: "Don't you dare mess this up now!" I like when the judges are pulling for the dancers to do well. I still can't get over how low cut the bottom of Peta's dress was last night. I really shouldn't be able to see your whole hipbone.Yeesh. Bruno comes out of his seat when Emmitt slips during his Viennese waltz.
So of those three couples, who's safe and who's going home? I'm getting very nervous for my favorite, Gilles. They first announce that Emmitt & Cheryl are safe. So it's down to Apolo & Karina or Gilles & Peta. Tom points out that these two are not necessarily the bottom two.
Aw, man. It's Gilles going home. I had hoped he might win the whole thing. He thanks Peta, and then immediately also thanks his wife. Smart man.

|Bellevue Cemetery Map
|Danville Historic District
Bellevue Cemetery was founded in 1847 as the Danville Cemetery. Robert Montgomery and William Speed purchased the first four acres from the Philip Yeiser farm. The cemetery now consists of 29 acres near the historic district of downtown Danville, Kentucky
|A Lawn Park style Cemetery
|Bellevue Cemetery
Designed as a Victorian Lawn Park style cemetery, Bellevue is made up of tree-lined paths and pastoral vistas. Upon entering the cemetery from North First Street, an allee of red oaks acts as a divide between the eastern and western sections of the cemetery.
The eastern section of the cemetery contains newer graves; the western section is where you will find the older monuments and statues. This is the section that still maintains the look of the Lawn Park cemetery from the 19th century.
The Danville Cemetery had a name change in 1897 and became Bellevue Cemetery The City of Danville took over management of the cemetery in 1931.
|McDowell's Monument
|McDowell Family Stone
Although not buried in the cemetery, Danville doctor, Ephraim McDowell has family buried here. McDowell is buried at McDowell Park in the center of town, near the Old First Presbyterian Church.
|Ephraim McDowell
McDowell was a doctor and world renowned surgical pioneer. On Christmas Day, 1809, he performed the first ovarian surgery on Jane Todd Crawford, a Kentucky resident. An ovarian tumor weighing over twenty pounds had to be cut into several pieces to be lifted out. Crawford was awake for the procedure, since anesthetic was not yet invented. Jane Crawford survived the operation and went on to live another 33 years. She died at the age of 79. McDowell became famous as the pioneer of abdominal surgical techniques. He performed the same operation on two more women. He published his report "Three Cases of Extirpation of Diseased Ovaria" in 1817. Ephraim McDowell died in 1830.
|Governor William Owsley
|Brigadier General Jeremiah Boyle
There are several U.S. Congressmen, two Civil War Union Generals; Boyle County native Jeremiah Tilford Boyle and Danville native, Speed Fry, along with Kentucky Governor William Owsley buried here.
Bellevue is also the site of a National Cemetery. At the start of the Civil War, the federal government set aside 18 cemetery lots in the Danville City Cemetery. Made up of less than half an acre, the section was laid out in a rectangle with all four corners marked with U.S. corner posts.
A total of 394 Union soldiers were buried here, most of them had died at Civil War hospitals scattered throughout Danville. A Confederate lot set up just east of the National Cemetery has 66 interments. In 1868, the Danville National Cemetery was established. Burials continued in the National Cemetery until 1952. In 1998 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Bellevue Cemetery does not have a web page, Facebook page or Twitter account. For information about the cemetery, contact Josh Morgan, Assistant City Engineer at (859) 238-1206. The cemetery is located at 377 North First Street in Danville, and is open daily from dawn to dusk.
Although finding information on Bellevue Cemetery is somewhat difficult, the cemetery itself is a treasure. Plan on spending an afternoon wandering among the older stones and mature trees of this gorgeous old Civil War era cemetery. The statues and stones are outstanding!

On the other hand, it makes very little sense in the context of the strip. If Brent is offering his hand, it would only be in order to hasten the agent's departure by hurrying along the "well, thanks for coming" phase of the conversation, which isn't reflected in his dialogue. I guess I can see it, but it's a stretch, and obviously wasn't my first thought.
2. Has PVP jumped the shark? Possibly. I would argue that Brent has mos def jumped the shark and every other fish in the pool. We know him too well. We have watched him grow and mature the last few months, through the wedding, through learning to deal with the parents, through saying goodbye to Skull.
But this kind of growth is hardly conducive to freeing Kurtz to make any new and novel uses of Brent (unless a baby is on the way), or even to using him in the same old ways. New Brent™ is now a straight man, a Dean Martin, or at least more Dean Martin than he used to be. But: Brent has no Jerry Lewis. Brent used to be the Jerry Lewis, so now we're a straight man heavy.
It's time for other characters to step up, fill the wacky shoes.

Brussels, 16 May 2007
Commission proposes that Malta adopts the euro in 2008
The European Commission today concluded that Malta has achieved a high degree of sustainable economic convergence with the euro area Member States and that it fulfils the necessary conditions to adopt the euro. On the basis of this positive Convergence Report, the Commission proposes to the Council that Malta adopts the euro on the 1st of January 2008. The final decision will be taken by EU Finance Ministers in July, after consultation of the European Parliament, and following a discussion by EU leaders at the June summit.
"Malta has achieved a high degree of economic convergence with the euro area and is ready to adopt the euro in January 2008. However, to ensure that euro adoption will be a truly successful story, Malta should pursue its efforts towards fiscal consolidation and towards preserving external competitiveness, including through policies fostering productivity growth. Malta must also speed up and finalise the crucial practical preparations to ensure that the changeover takes place smoothly, as was the case in Slovenia at the beginning of this year" said Joaquin Almunia, European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs.
On 27 February, the Maltese government asked the Commission to assess that the country met the conditions necessary to adopt the euro. To become part of the euro area, a European Union country must have achieved a high degree of sustainable economic convergence, measured against the criteria set out in Article 121(1) of the EU Treaty regarding the government budgetary position, price stability, exchange rate stability and convergence of long-term interest rates. Compatibility of the legal framework with the Treaty must also be examined.
Having carefully assessed the request, the Commission today adopted a Convergence Report concluding that Malta meets the necessary conditions and proposes to the Council that it adopts the euro next January. The European Central Bank also adopted a Convergence Report reaching the same conclusion.
The average inflation rate in Malta during the 12 months to March 2007 was 2.2 percent, below the reference value of 3.0 percent, It is likely to continue below the reference value in the coming months. Moderate core inflation indicates that underlying inflationary pressures have remained limited. Progress towards price stability has been supported by wage discipline and increasing competition in some product markets, also related to integration in the EU single market and effects of globalisation. The improvement in price stability is based on sound foundations, suggesting that the moderate levels of inflation will be maintained after euro adoption.
Nevertheless, Malta will need to stay vigilant and stem inflationary risks as cyclical conditions improve. A prudent fiscal stance aimed at avoiding the build-up of excessive demand pressures and wage developments in line with productivity gains would be well advised. Continued structural reforms to improve the functioning of product markets, in particular utilities), are also warranted.
Budgetary situation
Separately, today the Commission also concluded that Malta had corrected its budget deficit and recommended that the ECOFIN Council abrogates the excessive deficit procedure started upon accession to the EU, in 2004 (see IP/07/672).The deficit-to-GDP ratio decreased from 10% in 2003 to 2.6% in 2006 and, according to the Commission's spring forecast, would amount to 2.1% in 2007. The government debt increased significantly in the first half of the decade, but has followed a downward path since 2004 to reach 66.5% of GDP in 2006. In view of this, the Commission considers that Malta has corrected its deficit in a credible and sustainable way and its debt is diminishing at a satisfactory pace towards the Treaty reference value of 60% of GDP. Malta, therefore, meets the budgetary criterion. It should, nevertheless, continue efforts to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio and to make further progress in the design and implementation of the healthcare reform in order to improve the long-term sustainability of its public finances.
Exchange rate
The Maltese lira has participated in the Exchange Rate Mechanism ERM II since 2 May 2005, i.e. for 24 months at the time of the adoption of this report. During these two years, the lira has remained stable vis-à-vis the central rate and has not experienced severe tensions.
Long-term interest rates
The average long-term interest rate in Malta in the year to March 2007 was 4.3%, below the reference value of 6.4%. Average long-term interest rates in Malta have been below the reference value since EU accession. Long-term yield spreads vis-à-vis the euro area have also fluctuated at relatively moderate levels and decreased further since 2005, which testifies to the low residual country risk priced in by markets
Legal convergence
All outstanding incompatibilities have been addressed in a Law amending the Central Bank of Malta Act adopted by Parliament on 28 February 2007. Legislation in Malta, in particular the Central Bank of Malta Act, is now compatible with the requirements of the EC Treaty and the ESCB Statute.
