Inherited Heart Muscle Disease Registry(active)
• This project is aimed at characterizing in detail the phenotype and genotype of several large cohorts in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy patients and their relatives in different populations.
• The resulting data will act as a resonance for several studies..
• The ultimate aim is to optimize therapy,conductclinicaltrials and importantly investigate the basic molecular mechanisms responsible.
Inherited heart muscle disease, a historically neglected group of diseases, comprises three types:
1. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM):
• The disease affects 1 in 500 individuals with an estimated number of 160,000 affected individuals in the Egyptian community.
• This national program includes 523 persons who have been entered in the database with detailed genotyping.
• 300 have been genotyped; 200 of which are index patients and 100 family members, yielding novel results, which are being written up.
• The program includes tight clinical monitoring with state-of-the-art management including surgical treatment (relief of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction) in 67 patients (26 in 2011) using techniques developed and published by our group.
• This program is being strengthened by the purchase of a Robot in the genetic lab in Alexandria and upgrading the equipment to third generation high.
• AHC initiated trainings and combined research programs with the Royal Brompton/Hammersmith research group.
2. Dilated Cardiomyopathy:
• In 2012, it was realized that a significant number of up to 70% have a genetic basis.
• The importance of the disease stems from the recognition of the plight of those patients will provide great scientific value of studying the genetics and other aspects of the disease.
3. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Registry (Active and Recruiting Patients)
• A dedicated principal investigator has been appointed and the data generated will be jointly analyzed with the department of imaging and biophysics at Imperial College.
• The genetic studies will take place at the laboratory in Alexandria.
• More than 50 patients have been recruited.
4. Pulmonary Hypertension Registry (Active and Recruiting Patients)
• A specific research unit has been established and equipped in Cairo.
• 22 patients have already been recruited by and a comprehensive protocol for their management has been evolved.
• AHC has recently been chosen to join a multicentre trial with several reputable centers around.
• A study on the prevalence and severity of bilharzial pulmonary hypertension in Sharkeyah has been completed and published this year.
5. Randomized Autograftvesrus Mechanical versus StEntless Study (RAMSES) (Study Design Phase)
• This is a 3-arm randomized study to compare the medium and long-term outcome of various options for aortic valve replacement (Ross operation vs. mechanical prostheses vs. stentless aortic roots).
• The results of this study will be extremely valuable in determining the best strategy for aortic valve replacement especially in young adults.
6. Invasive Coronary Physiology Laboratory(Active)
• This serves as a platform for investigating the effect of various diseases and treatment modalities on coronary blood flow, coronary flow reserve, and microvascular function.
• We are currently studying the effect of extended septal myectomy on baseline and hyperemic global and regional coronary blood flow, coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
• Myocardial specimens obtained during surgery will also be analyzed to determine baseline histological features.
• The results of this study could possibly help explain some of the mechanisms by which tailored surgical relief of LVOT obstruction improves symptoms, functional capacity, and prognosis in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
• We also plan to study the pattern of coronary blood flow and endothelial function in patients before and after aortic valve surgery using different surgical techniques and prosthesis.
7. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Lab (Staff Recruitment Phase)
• This lab provides a safe non-invasive method of quantitatively measuring cardiac performance in a wide range of cardiac conditions.
• Accurate assessment of cardiac performance will also provide valuable information on the comparative benefit of different therapeutic options in specific cardiac conditions.
8. Advanced Coronary Imaging and Novel Stent Design Study
• Advanced intracoronary imaging including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and more recently optical coherence tomography (OCT) has enabled high-resolution intra-luminal imaging of coronary arteries in the cath-lab.
• Modalities are now being utilized in select high-risk interventions and are proving to be valuable tools in guiding management strategies in this setting.
• The study also provided accurate data on the composition of vessel wall and true size of the vessel continue to be of significant value in specific circumstances.
• It resulted in the development of a number of dedicated bifurcation stents over the last few years to face this problem.
• AHC is in the process of conducting a study, in collaboration with Imperial College London, to evaluate the anatomical profile of a new dedicated bifurcation stent.
9. Mechanical Circulatory Support/Left Ventricular Assist Device Program (equipment purchasing phase).
• AHC aims to establish the first mechanical circulatory support/LVAD program in Egypt.
• This program will serve as a platform for better understanding of myocardial regeneration and various biological pathways by which the heart muscle recovers from various insults.
10. Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (active)
• The lab was established in 2006 by MYF on an Alexandria-based premises provided by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
• The unit currently serves as referral genetics centre to all the MYF's clinical units and AHC.
• The lab represents the most advanced molecular genetics centre in Egypt hosting state-of-the-art equipment including:
An automated DNA sequencer - Applied Biosystems.
Two single block Thermal Cyclers - BioRad C1000.
DHPLC WAVE System for mutation primary screening including recent hardware and software upgrades.
Among various basic equipment.
• We have recently upgraded the lab via installing a sophisticated robotic system, which will allow for full automation of all pre-sequencing procedures.
• We plan to enhance the capability of the lab by purchasing a 3rd generation of high throughput sequencer capable of whole exome and whole genome sequencing in the near future.
11. AHC Biobank(Planning Phase)
• Detailed phonotype data
• Tissue and sample identification and storage facilities
• DNA extraction lab
12. Molecular Biology Laboratory(Planning Phase)
13. Microscopy Laboratory(Planning Phase)
• Conventional microscopy with remote analysis facilities.
• Immunocytochemistry lab.
• Confocal microscopy lab.
14. Heart Muscle Function Laboratory(Planning Phase)
• Cellular electrophysiology lab.
15. Myocardial Regeneration Program (pharmacological, gene therapy and novel stem cell research) (Planning Phase)
16. Heart Valves Tissue Engineering Program
• The program aims to characterize the phenotypic and functional features of stem cells suitable for use in heart valve tissue engineering with the ultimate objective of developing biologically conditioned intelligent scaffolds that resist calcification.

CB recruiting - Touch the Banner
"Overall, that's nine potential cornerbacks who are either playing other positions (Michael Williams, Denard Robinson) or no longer on the team. I can't blame Lloyd Carr or Rodriguez for most of those position changes and such. However, the handling of the cases of Adrian Witty, Demar Dorsey, and Conelius Jones should come into question now. Why were those three allowed to sign Letters of Intent if they weren't qualified? At such an important position - and one in such dire need - Rodriguez couldn't afford to hand out scholarships to kids who would never play a down for Michigan. He did anyway. I hope I'm wrong, but this could be a major failure of the Rodriguez regime at Michigan."
I couldn't agree more.

We just keep getting more evidence that the Palm Pre launch is imminent. A few days ago Sprint started an ad campaign promoting the Pre and today we just learned the Sprint employees have begun training on the Palm Pre. In an email from Sprint the company said, "Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to them excited and ready to help our customers." Sources are saying that the training has already started though, implying that this email was send before it was leaked. Check out the rest of the email after the jump!
* Pricing for the Palm Pre phone has yet to be determined.
* The Palm Pre will be the first phone to run on Palm webOS - a brand-new operating system, invented exclusively for mobile use and designed to be constantly connected to the web!
* The Palm Pre's webOS interface lets users keep multiple applications open and move easily between them.
* The Pre offers an instinctive user experience that seems to anticipate the user's next move.
* When closed, the phone is ideal for phone calls, web browsing, music, photos and videos.
* When open, Pre is optimized for e-mail and text messaging with a keyboard that slides out only when needed.
* The Palm Pre will compete favorably with the hero products at other carriers including the Apple iPhone, BlackBerry Storm, andT-Mobile G1. Sprint expects the device to attract many customers andwill market heavily against the competition. More competitive information to come as we approach launch.
* Still not convinced? PCWorld.com said in an April 2, 2009 article: "Overall, despite not having seen the Palm Pre yet, there are plenty of reasons to get excited!"
* At it's initial launch, the Palm Pre will be exclusively available through Sprint.
* Our customers will be the first to experience the Palm web OS - keeping us ahead of the competition.
* The 2009 launch of the Palm Pre is expected to be more than just any old phone launch. Remember the 2008 launch of the Instinct? Think bigger and better!
* It is critical that Sprint remain ahead of the competition and not allow any important information to be leaked to the public before we are set and ready to go.
* Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers.
All the rumors and speculations of a mid-April/late April/May launch of the Palm Pre doesn't appear to be too far of a stretch. Stated in an email from Sprint, "Employees can expect training to start in April as well as multiple communications to get them excited and ready to help our customers." I was wondering if the training has begun -- so I asked for a confirmation on that thought.
"I would like to inform that Sprint is in the process of providing the training for the new Palm Pre. Once it's launched, Sprint will be ready to serve their valued customers regarding the Palm Pre."
The fact that Sprint employees are already training up on the Palm Pre, pretty much implies that the release date of the Pre should be near. On top of that, early this week, Sprint began getting the word out about the Pre with their new marketing campaign. So don't be surprised when the Palm Pre launches within the coming 5 weeks or so!
Some say that after seeing Palm Pre demos at CTIA, the Pre doesn't seem to be ready, software wise. And of course many have advised Palm and Sprint to not rush the phone. So the question is, is it really ready?

Find out here what Korean Beauty Box Memebox is about and how it works
Find out here the current referral only deals and discount codes
Note: Cosmetics in Asia can mean both skincare and makeups
Note2: All prices are in USD unless otherwise stated
I've won the Memebox Herbal Cosmetics box from entering I Love Beauty Boxes' July Memebox giveaway! This Superbox cost $32 plus $6.99 for shipping, so I'm really chuffed to have won! It was posted to me using express delivery too which would have costed me $25.99!
The Herbal Cosmetics box, which is currently still in stock, is approx. £22.96 in total. The box is fully packed, with 6 full size products. The box came with
Calmia Herb Cleansing Oil Gel (100ml, worth $18)
Calmia Rooibox Aqua Sprinkler Gel Cream (150ml, worth $34)
Nasarang Herb B.B SPF50+ PA+++ (30g, $46)
Skinfood Bath Salt Honey Jasmine (80g, $3)
Rose Mine Azulene Calming Gel (75ml, $29)
Kskin Rose Sense 100% Essential Oil (5ml, $42)
Total value of this box is $172, although some say that Memebox over valued their products. However, as some of their products aren't available in the market (including Ebay), and the retail price of the products are still higher than what you have paid for for the box, it's worth paying it to get the good things here.
According to the info card, the Herb Cleansing Oil Gel is suppose to "turn into milk-coloured foams", but for some reason mine just won't lather up. It actually felt like cleansing milk because of the organic argan oil. The instruction also told me to rinse it off with warm water, which isn't something I'd normally do as I like to use cold water to tighten up my pores after a good clean. Having said that, I was also told to use warm water to rinse my face off by Shiseido's retailer.
Anyway. My skin did feel nourishingly soft afterwards (the kind of feeling you get after patting oil based serum on your face), and my cotton pad was clean when I used Bioderma to do a final sweep, so I guess it's working.
The cleansing oil gel smells very familiar, definitely from one of the skincare or perfume brand you can find in Debenhams. It's pleasant and not too heady.
This is my favourite product from the box. The Rooibos (tea leaves high in antioxidant and low in caffeine) Gel Cream is a multi tasker, and can be used as skin booster, toner, emulsion, essence and gel cream. It smells like lemonade and the texture is a bit like pudding as described on the bottle, so a bit between gel and cream like the Goddess Cream from the From Nature box. Skin feels plump and soft after use without feeling sticky. Now if this spray is more cooling, it'll be the perfect spray for this Summer!
This BB cream matches my Summer tanned skin very well, though it does have a greyish base tone in it. I'm also not very keen in the smell, which comes from the herb and grain extracts. However, a tiny bit goes a long way, and it settles into my skin really well and it doesn't feel greasy.
This smells delicious! I used to love this hard boiled sweet that tasted like honey tea, and this smelled almost like it, but with a stronger smell from the Jasmine. I keep inhaling it while writing this post up, and I can't wait to use it during our holiday! With all the walking to be done, this will be very useful!
The Azulene Calming Gel is an after sun gel that smells mildy of chamomile before applying. When applied it gives out a strong smell of alcohol, which evaporates quickly. The gel gives a burst of moisture to the skin, but it takes a bit longer to absorb than the Rooibos Gel Cream. My skin feels soft afterwards.
I think that the Rooibos and Azulene are fairly similar in what they do. But then, even though the Rooibos might not have the same healing effect that after sun care has, I prefer it over the Azulene. I'm not keen in the alcohol smell from the Azulene, even though it didn't last, and it does take a bit longer to absorb, giving me that sticky feel for a while. So I probably won't use the Azulene unless I ran out of after sun cares.
I don't normally use Essential Oil, but I don't think the Korean essential oil is that different from the ones you get anywhere else, let it be top quality or lower. So I don't really see the need for buying Essential Oil from another country.
I tried it out anyway by diluted a bit of the oil with water and it smelled like a mixture of chest rub and lavender, which was a bit confusing as it's called Rose Sense. Well, to those who bought this box and said that Peppermint is missing from the box but listed in the box description: mystery solved!
Overall I think this is an OK box. It's not something I would have bought, although I'm glad that I've won it of course! I did find over half of the products I'm ok with, 3 that I like and 2 I will use up, so that makes it alright!
If you like what you see in this box, they are currently still available from the website.
Favourite product: Rooibos Aqua Sprinkler Gel Cream
Products I like: 3/6
Products I'll consider buying again: 2/6
Products I'll pass on: 2/6

About an hour ago I had an argument with my best friend of about a year and a half. We go to law school together and are usually inseparable despite all the people we hang out with on campus. She recently got out of a relationship that ended badly and has changed the way she deals with people because of it, she's taken a zero tolerance approach with people.
I have now started seeing someone who is a mutual friend of ours and as of late her and him don't really see eye to eye. Because of this she doesn't go out with my boyfriend and I. So, in turn if my boyfriend would call me to go out I wouldn't call her up to avoid conflict until I could get them to both get along.
For the last three days, she wasn't calling me or texting me which I found odd since we speak everyday. She said I ditch her for guys and that she's tired of dealing with me and feels our friendship is dead. When I started dating my last boyfriend, she says I would make plans without her as well. She said that she's felt that way for awhile and has just kept quiet about it. She stated that everyone invites her out but her best friend doesn't and she is livid with me because of that. I tried to give an explanation, but she says I only make excuses for myself, and she wasn't having it. By the end of our conversation, she said she will see how things go for now, but she is unsure that I am capable of repairing my mistakes. What can I do to show her that I never meant to ditch her or offend her in any way and I value our friendship. Please help!
-- Becca
Dear Becca:
I know she's your friend, but life is short. You don't need this shit. The only mistakes made was her being a crabby as beotch. Let her have her space. Don't call her. And with this time to think maybe she'll come around or find someone else to make miserable..
If you do talk to her and she hasn't changed, tell her how you feel bad about what happened with her relatioship, but to stop being a downer or get lost! Sometimes tough love solves these problems, or escalates it into a cat-fight. Just be prepared. Have a helmet handy!

Dun Liath (Glasnakille)
View all content for Dun Liath (Glasnakille)
Visited: September 4, 2014
Dun Liath
(Glasnakille/Drinan), credited as a 'possible broch' by RCAHMS, is to be found some 800 metres beyond the northern road-end in the community of Glasnakille, near Elgol in Skye's Strathaird peninsula. From there, an excellent track heads north through a Forestry Commission plantation, crosses the
Allt na Cille
stream, then almost immediately exits the woodland via a gate. Now follow the track for a further 250 metres through bracken and birch scrub till you arrive at a gate across the road.
Just before this gate is an attractive self-catering holiday cottage (the notice on the gate gives its address as No 1 Drinan). The broch lies in a region of scrub and heather a short distance east of the cottage. The best approach is to start at the aforementioned gate, on the cottage side, and follow the fence line towards Loch Slapin (i.e. southeast) for about 45 metres, then head to your right for another 15 metres. The conspicuous white stonework of the dilapidated southwestern wall of the broch should come into view.
The broch is almost circular, its centre filled (in September) with heather in full bloom. The walling is conspicuous and abundant on the west side of the structure as a dilapidated pile of white stones lying atop well defined outer foundation courses. To the east, the heather prevails, and though there are stones there aplenty, most are obscured.
map shows the location of the Broch relative to the cottage. The black line shows the recommended approach route from the gate to the broch. At the present time, this is quite thickly vegetated, so you are unlikely to see the broch till you are almost upon it.

Joan Wages is the President and CEO and guiding light of the National Women's History Museum (NWHM) in the nation's capital, Washington, DC.
After the monument of suffragists Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony was dedicated in the Capitol Rotunda in 1921, and then the very next day "the all male Congress moved it downstairs into a storage closet" As a founding board member of NWHM, she worked to raise the money and pass legislation to move the Suffrage Statue depicting founders of the U.S. suffrage movement from the U.S. Capitol Crypt upstairs into the Rotunda where it now stands. For over a decade, she has worked to identify a building site for the Museum and to lobby Congress for a permanent home. She was elected president in July 2007. Lifetime Television honored her in its Remarkable Woman series with a public service announcement highlighting her efforts on the Museum.
The project started in 1995, as a result of the treatment of a women's suffrage statue. Joan Wages, the president and CEO of the National Women's History Museum, explained that the monument of suffragists Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony was dedicated in the Capitol Rotunda in 1921, and then the very next day "the all male Congress moved it downstairs into a storage closet." In the years that followed, Wages said that Congress "would come up with all of these excuses why they couldn't move this statue." In the 1990s, after a "big campaign, once again, by a number of women's groups to ask Congress to move the statue and they didn't do it," Karen Staser founded the NWHM, explained Wages, a founding board member. Its grassroots campaign raised $85,000 and generated the support to move the statue back to the Rotunda on Mother's Day 1997, where it now stands.
Wages described that experience as a powerful metaphor for what often happens to women's history. "It comes to the light of day and then it's stored away," she said, in this case below the Rotunda in the U.S. Capitol Crypt. "What needs to happen is for women's history to be made part of our national story." While the NWHM has existed virtually for the past ten years at their web site—and currently offers a robust gallery of 21 online exhibits—it has been campaigning since 1998 to get an actual, physical museum, on or near the National Mall. Although the museum will be privately funded, Congress has yet to authorize purchase of a plot, which is on federal land. Legislation to approve the sale has been met again and again with a range of cumbersome excuses and delays, much like the suffrage statue that inspired the museum's founding. But an impressive cadre of influential supporters—including more than 200 members of Congress on its Honorary Board as well as Meryl Streep as national spokeswoman—is determined to break the impasse. Streep recently pledged $1 million dollars to the museum from her earnings for the film The Iron Lady, in which she plays British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. During her speech at a NWHM gala in 2010, the actress spoke about "the deep, psychological, spiritual, symbolic meaning of a building," adding that museums "are especially important in Washington, D.C., seat of our national heritage, memorialized in marble and granite, glass, stone, and steel" not only as "symbols, but as gathering places, as inspirational spaces."
According to Wages, Streep's interest in the museum is personal. She said Streep would relate her grandmother's stories of going after her grandfather on election day to "wrangle him off the golf course" and tell him who to vote for on the Board of Education. "He didn't know as much about who was running and she couldn't vote." Wages added that, Streep "really gets it. She wants a better world for her daughters and her grandchildren."
To Wages, women need an appreciation of their own history as the foundation for empowerment. "Men have had their history for thousands of years. They draw power from that. They learn from what men have done before and what works, what doesn't work, what inspires them to move forward," she said. Women, on the other hand, "essentially stand on what I called historical quicksand, because every generation loses this information about what women have done to build and grow our society and the world." An historian told her, she added, "that every generation of women has to recreate the wheel," by finding the courage within themselves to step out without knowing that a path has been broken by women successful "in business, in finance, in medicine, in mathematics, in computers, in all of these fields."
In the latest action, legislation has passed out of committee in the House to approve the building site. However, Wages said, the committee chairman "ended up attaching another bill to ours and the other bill is very costly." NWHM is now working with Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who has been their House bill sponsor, to "evaluate the best next step." In the meanwhile, the NWHM has launched a "Right Here, Right Now" campaign at their website where supporters can contact their senators and urge them to champion The National Women's History Museum Act. In her speech, Streep lamented that a bill "sponsored by the bipartisan women in Congress" has year after year been "pushed aside, neglected. Not deemed important enough." It is maddening to her "that we still must kneel and beg our brothers in Congress to please let us build a museum that honors the achievements of their own mothers and grandmothers."
Wages says her highest hope is that this museum "will help change the culture in a way that there's greater value for what women provide to our society." Streep said she is confident "that the whole family will feel, in that hall, the gratitude of neglected generations. And they will feel the awe that comes from breathing the cool air of respect for the aspirations and accomplishments of fully one half of humanity."

Halloween is on the way, so it's a good time for a reminder about The Occulterers, This is Hayden's spoof 'Ghost Hunting' show based around a four-person team who "boldly go where no sane person would; into haunted houses, spooked-up mansions and poltergeisted castles to find out just what's going bump in the night.
Fortunately for any ghosts, The Occulterers internal relationships are a whole lot bumpier and scarier. In fact, most supernatural presences run in fear when they're around!"
The six part series ran on babelgum in 2009, in the week leading up to Halloween. As well as the six episodes there are 6 hour-long 'live' feeds from the castle where viewers could spot any strange happenings!
The whole show was written, cast, shot, edited and produced in 18 days, and stars Buffy's James C. Leary, The Evil Dead's Ellen Sandweiss, Angel's Camden Toy, Hayden (of course) and I ♥ Vampire's Amy Kline.
Don't worry if you missed it the first time round, all the episodes are available on Babelgum so why not find out what goes on when the lights go off!

The Crucible
how does mary respond when danforth asks her to explain the crying out
In Act 3 of "The Crucible", John Proctor brings Mary Warren to the court and judges to testify that the girls were in fact lying that that when she and the girls "cried out" that people from the village were witches they were lying. When questioned by the judges about "crying out" against these people, Mary Warren tells them that she was basically caught up in the excitement of everything and since the other girls were doing it, she felt that she had to do it too. Then, when she is asked to show the court how she pretended to faint, she can not do it, explaining that she has "no sense of it now". She continues by telling them that she can not do it for the same reason that she was no longer crying out against people. Following this episode in court, the other girls begin to accuse Mary of witchcraft and when this happens, Mary gives up on trying to tell the truth and then accuses John Proctor of being a witch.

Marching across 14th St. to Union Square.
Thousands rally at Stuy Town in a call for tenant protections
By Alyssa Giachino
Few issues unite New Yorkers like the struggle for affordable housing, as was demonstrated by the thousands that gathered at Stuyvesant Town last Wednesday to decry climbing rents.
Tenants from Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx joined hands with their Manhattan neighbors to encircle Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village, demanding legislative action to expand affordable housing and protect rent-regulated units.
The human chain around Stuy Town turned into a march along 14th St. that reached Union Square. Organizers said the crowd exceeded 7,000, noting that the string of people extended back to Avenue C and 20th St. Police did not give a crowd estimate.
New Yorkers want our elected officials to stop talking and do something to protect affordable housing, said Julie Miles, director of Housing Here and Now, the events organizer. I think the issue has reached a boiling point and tenants really turned out in force because Albany has really failed to take steps to protect the homes of more than 1 million people.
Housing Here and Now is an umbrella group including dozens of housing organizations, the Central Labor Council and the Working Families Party.
More than 50 elected officials have signed on to Housing Here and Nows campaign, and two dozen city and state representatives turned out at the march to show their support, saying repeatedly that having Governor Eliot Spitzer in office presents new opportunities to pass legislation.
State Senator Liz Krueger criticized Senate Republicans, namely Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, for blocking housing bills in years past.
While we dither and dont pass legislation thousands of people lose their housing, Krueger stressed.
The Housing Here and Now coalition is pushing a legislative agenda that includes removing vacancy-decontrol laws which permit an apartment to go to market rate once it passes a $2,000 rent threshold. They are also advocating for greater protections for Mitchell-Lama tenants, including a moratorium on buyouts until tenant protections are adopted, such as giving tenants the first right to buy their own units.
State Senator Tom Duane led the crowd in chanting, More control. Less rent. He voiced support for other coalition agenda items, such as to keep public housing public by allocating adequate funding to existing public housing and to protect people living with AIDS by setting their rents at 30 percent of income.
We have to make sure the next generation of New Yorkers can stay in this city and continue making it the greatest city in the world, Duane said.
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer said action is urgently needed to keep New York City affordable.
If the trend continues, were quickly becoming a city of the very, very wealthy with enclaves for the very poor and nothing in between, he said.
Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village, with 11,250 apartments, was sold last October for a record-breaking $5.4 billion to Tishman Speyer Properties.
City Councilmember Daniel Garodnick, who represents the East Side complex, said, Rent-stabilized tenants now live in a culture of fear. Legal clinics to orient Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village tenants about their rights are packed, he said, due to fears the new owner will try to displace them in order to bring units up to market rate.
Alvin Doyle, president of the Stuyvesant Town Tenants Association, said that since the sale, the complex is losing affordable apartments weekly.
These units need to be replaced, he said, if not in our community, in other communities.
The association has also signed on to the coalitions legislative agenda, and Doyle said that raising the vacancy-decontrol threshold would go a long way toward protecting affordability in Stuy Town.
The march was strengthened by the presence of hundreds of union members bearing placards and T-shirts representing a range of trades and professions from Teamsters to nurses, teachers and other city workers.
Edward Ott, who heads the citys Central Labor Council, addressed the crowd, saying that labors gains over half a century are being eroded by the cost of housing.
Its intolerable that we have organized the city in such a way that the cost of living cant be borne by two incomes, he said.
Unions and union members were out in force because they are feeling the squeeze like the rest of us are, said Miles.
Housing Here and Now reports that between 2002 and 2005 average rents rose by 9 percent while tenant incomes fell by 6 percent. At the same time, the citys subsidized affordable housing stock shrank by 11 percent. The organization released a study entitled Losing Ground to coincide with the march, which kicked off the campaign to reform housing laws.
Between 1994 and 2005, New York City lost more than 50,000 affordable units to high rent or vacancy decontrol, the report said. For families earning 80 percent of the citys median income, between 2002 and 2005, around 205,000 apartments leapt out of their reach through rent increases, according to data from the Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy.
Nina Sarna-Jones, a third grader who lives in Stuy Town, marched carrying a drawing of herself shouting from the window of her apartment tower, I dont like this! Her grandmother Sally Jones said shes concerned that her granddaughters parents might lose their apartment, which is close enough to Ninas school that she can safely ride her bike there.
I think its an important thing all over for the city to provide housing for all people, Jones said.
Mae Lee, executive director of the Chinese Progressive Association, said finding affordable housing is a challenge for new immigrants, who often have limited opportunities to get into rent-protected units.
Whats happening at Stuy Town, for other neighborhoods its bringing standards down, she said.
Daniel Porro marched holding a sign over his head that read, S.O.S! Help Me! Dont let me lose my home. He has diabetes and a bleeding ulcer, and his only source of income is a monthly Social Security check and $10 in food stamps.
I am one check away from losing my apartment, said Porro, who has lived in the same unit in the Bronx for 17 years. My anger has turned me into an activist.
A group of four teenagers huddled over a newspaper box as the march streamed past, scribbling a makeshift sign that read Almighty Latin Kings for Housing.
Wearing diamond studs in each ear and a Tupac T-shirt, Jonathan Davila, 19, said, We are trying to lift up the Latino community.
Davila, who lives in public housing on E. 104th St. and Lexington Ave., said the march gave him hope.
Its a lot of unity. Thats what we need the most, he said. Its not a racial thing.
It was a really beautiful crowd, said Miles, of Housing Here and Now, afterward. It was a diverse gathering of people from every borough, of all ages. There were people with canes and walkers that stuck and made the march all the way to the end.

OVER THE HILL: Cyclists power over the 20 percent grade of Nicholson Avenue in the Cat's Hill Classic in Los Gatos.
The Wheel World
By Felipe Buitrago
MOST superheroes prance around in skimpy spandex; cyclists wear spandex to better move their machines. And while most superheroes stick to their hometowns, cyclists are always traveling. Now that the 2009 cycling season has started, it's time to bust out the stretchy stuff. And depending on how super you want to be, you're going to be doing so much traveling you're gonna wish you could fly.
The Bay Area has always been a hot spot for cycling, and this year's season is the perfect excuse to get to know every inch of it. With 48 criteriums on both sides of the bay and 33 road races in between, there is no reason not to know every side street and mountain pass in Northern California. Especially when it's not hard to be so super. Most races are open to all levels; everyone from the easiest Cat 5 beginner to the experienced Elite racer is welcome.
The exception that confirms the rule is the Tour of California—the only race where the real cycling stars will come from far and wide and travel the California countryside from Davis to Escondido. But even ordinary mortals can consider competing in classic races like the King of the Mountain, which that tackles Sierra Road, the hardest road of the Tour of California; or the Cat's Hill Classic in Los Gatos, with one of the steepest climbs a crit can offer. But if hills aren't your thing, no worries, there are also plenty of flat races like the Timpani Criterium in Santa Clara or the Menlo Park Grand Prix, which aside from roots popping out through the cement and tight 90 degree turns is pretty doable, especially if you're a superhero.

Medical assessments for NSW Driver Licences to go digital
4 April 2016
Minister for Roads Duncan Gay today announced a new online system which will streamline NSW Fitness to Drive medical assessments.
"Gone are the archaic days where motorists had to visit a doctor and then laboriously submit their medical assessment by snail mail or in person at a registry or service centre," Mr Gay said.
"This digital service developed by HealthLink, means the 400,000 people who go through this process each year can now cross the visit into a registry or service centre off their to-do-list.
"The communication from doctor to the assessors will also be instant which means cases will be reviewed faster.
"Time is one of our most precious commodities in today's busy world – so implementing a digital system which will save hours for hundreds of thousands of people is priceless."
The new computer communication system links to the information technology systems of more than 15,500 medical organisations across Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Island nations and Canada.
The NSW Fitness to Drive medical assessment form will now be filled-out and submitted by medical practitioners using their respective practice's software systems to the Roads and Maritime Licence Review Unit immediately for review.
Medical assessments are required for heavy vehicle drivers, elderly drivers and motorists with medical conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders and Diabetes.
All doctors will have the ability to submit forms electronically by mid-year.
Doctors who do not have a practice software system can still submit forms electronically via Health Link's Portal interface.
HealthLink's National e-health manager Nikki Breslin said the organisation was delighted to work with the NSW Government.
"Training to use this new electronic software system will be provided for GPs and other health professionals who provide fitness to drive assessments," Ms Breslin said.

Florence, SC - From Francis Marion University
FLORENCE, SC – Francis Marion University senior left-handed pitcher Michaela Wolf and junior right fielder Chelle Phillips have been selected to the second-team Daktronics Inc. All-Southeast Region softball team. Wolf was also named to the team in the designated player position, as well as the pitcher's spot.
Wolf, a native of Littleton, Colo., compiled a 22-9 pitching record with one save and a 2.13 earned run average. She completed 28 of her 31 starts and struck out 172 batters in 197.1 innings of work. She walked only 47 batters and opponents hit just .250 against her.
She is the only Patriot hurler in the history of the program to win 20 games more than once in a career – and she did it four times. She owns nearly all the FMU career pitching records, including wins (92), appearances (151), complete games (108), shutouts (25), innings (897.2), and strikeouts (755).
At the plate this season, Wolf hit a team-best .395 with 18 runs scored, eight doubles, four home runs, and 34 runs batted in – the second highest total on the squad. She also owned a .521 on-base percentage, which ranked second in the Peach Belt Conference.
Wolf was also a second-team All-Region pick in 2009.
Phillips, a native of Waukee, Iowa, batted .349 with 47 runs scored in 52 games. She recorded 10 doubles, three triples, two home runs, and drove in 31 runs. She led the team with 12 sacrifices, was second on the team with 13 stolen bases (in 14 attempts), and registered a .405 on-base percentage.
The pair helped lead Francis Marion to a 36-16 record and the program's second NCAA Tournament appearance in three years. The 36 victories equal the fifth-highest season win total in program history. FMU reached the championship game of the both the Peach Belt Conference Tournament and the NCAA Southeast Subregional Tournament.

text: I'm looking after three remote offices and so I bought 3 WRV200's for that. I've had the first for a while and could connect via VPN with it ok. When I installed #2 and #3, I generated a unique key for each and put the public keys into my laptop "c:\program files\linksys\linksys vpn client" folder. Interestingly, now #2 is the only machine I can get to work. I've noticed that alphabetically sorted #1's key is last because it was generated in december, while #2 is first since it was generated on the 3rd of Jan and #3 was generated on the 10th. Can QuickVPN only have one key in the folder? Will a newer version allow one to associate a key with the specific profile? Maybe one solution is to use the same private key on all three? Another thing: I also happen to have the Cisco VPN client which seems to work real well, especially since it uses a virtual NIC to communicate over. Is there a way to use that client instead of QuickVPN? BTW I have port 443 forwarded which isn't a problem with QuickVPN, but might be with CiscoVPNClient? Thanks!

Less than a week after I submitted our refi application online, the appraisal company called to set an appointment. They came out a few days later. The appraisal was completed in under a week. Unfortunately, the appraisal came in a bit higher than we needed it to. However, I did notice some errors (fence and sprinkler system weren't included) and one of the 'comp' houses was not really comparable since it doesn't have a basement. I submitted a dispute form and will hear back from them next week.
In other news, Mr. Savvy bought me Rosetta Stone. Yay! I've been waiting to learn Spanish for years so I'm glad he bought it. He purchased levels 1-5 so I know it wasn't cheap but I'm not going to worry about it because it's been on the list of 'stuff I want' for quite a while. When's the last time you splurged on something you really wanted?

The Anxiety of Age
I hear this in my head. I hear, I'm too young. I want to say, how can you be too young, but I don't say anything at all in response. I think, well, maybe I am. I look for evidence of it. Who got published at 22? Who had a relationship at 22 that lasted past 23? Who had a relationship at 22 that lasted past 23 that was healthy and beautiful and went on and on and on? Who did anything meaningful at all at 22, except die, maybe. There were a lot of 22-year-olds, a lot of 20-year-olds even, who died in wars.
We live in such a perverse world. I mean this in the most literal sense possible. Opposition, contradiction. We value youth, we say. We want our Hollywood stars fresh-faced, wrinkle-free. But real youth--the youth measured not by lines on a forehead but by years, by how much we've done, by how much we haven't done--we disregard. We call it cute, we call it charming. We want our fashion models that way because we don't want our fashion models to be anything we respect. Then we draw a line.
All we've done is extend adolescence. When I was a teenager I used to think that the ideal age to be was somewhere in one's 20s. I used to think that that's what everyone craved. Teenagers wanted to be older, everyone else wanted to be younger. And now I find I've reached what I thought was the golden era, the time-of-all-times, only to learn that I'm still in the teenage-hood of society. Nobody thinks a 20-something can do anything worthwhile, because we're, as they say, still learning.
This has turned into more of a diatribe than I meant it to be. All I meant it to be was a thought: that here I am, paying my own rent, expected to make a fool of myself. I know what I write now will, in ten year's time, be irrelevant; I know my tone will change, my voice, my point of view. But still, I'd like to think that if I'm old enough to support myself, I'm old enough to be trusted with my own heart, my own soul.

Hi guys! Today I want to show you some colours from the Covergirl - XL Nail Gel collection. I have 5 bright cremes (2 a part creme/shimmers). I've never tried these polishes before but they have a really great, opaque formula and most of them only needed 1 coat for full opacity! I do find the lid is a bit bulky but that is a minor problem. Let's take a look at the colours! All swatches show 1 coat (unless stated) with no topcoat.
Plump It Pear - A really nice grass green creme.
Buxom Blue - This one is my favourite from the bunch and is a beautiful sky blue with blue shimmers through it.
Haughty Lemon (2 coats) - Another favourite, this canary yellow has a beautiful yellow shimmer in it.
Overblown Orange - A bright coral orange creme
Rotund Raspberry - This colour is a bit darker than traditional raspberries, it's more of a mulled wine shade but super gorgeous!
So which colour do you like the best from these? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for reading.

The upcoming decision could be a victory for the nationalist wing of Trump's White House.
President Donald Trump is planning to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement, a White House official said Wednesday morning — only to have Trump himself revive the suspense less than an hour later.
The withdrawal would fulfill a Trump campaign promise but would be certain to infuriate America's allies across the globe. It would threaten to destabilize the most comprehensive pact ever negotiated to blunt the most devastating effects of climate change.
Intrigue surrounding Paris has accelerated in the past week, after Pope Francis and other world leaders pressed Trump during his European visit not to abandon the nearly 200-nation 2015 agreement. Administration officials said they are still sorting out the details of how exactly Trump would withdraw, and one noted that nothing is final until an announcement is made.
Trump declined to make it official, at least not yet. "I will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord over the next few days. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he tweeted Wednesday morning.
Trump was slated to continue discussing the issue with senior advisers on Wednesday.
Axios first reported the news that Trump would withdraw.
Administration officials sent mixed messages on Wednesday, with some saying they are confident the president would pull out and others urging caution. But officials on both sides of the issue have become increasingly convinced he plans to exit the deal, despite arguments from moderate advisers like Trump's daughter Ivanka that withdrawing would damage U.S. relations abroad.
Prime supporters of leaving the deal, including senior White House adviser Stephen Bannon, argued that its terms would hobble the U.S. economy and Trump's energy agenda.
Reaction from the international community Wednesday was swift, mostly without mentioning Trump by name. "Climate change is undeniable," the United Nations tweeted from its official account Wednesday morning, quoting from a speech by Secretary General António Guterres. "Climate action is unstoppable. Climate solutions provide opportunities that are unmatchable."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief of staff expressed hope that the president could still be swayed. "As far as I can see, it is an ongoing debate within the administration," Peter Altmaier said at a POLITICO Connected Citizens Summit Wednesday afternoon in Berlin.
Others who have supported staying included Trump's secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, and major oil companies such as Exxon Mobil and Shell.
But the vast campaign to persuade the U.S. to remain ultimately did not seem to sway the president. And conservative groups were preparing to celebrate.
"Au revoir to the Paris agreement indeed," said Nick Loris, an economist at the Heritage Foundation, praising Trump for showing "resolute leadership."
"Without any impact on global temperatures, Paris was the open door for egregious regulation, cronyism and government spending that would have been as disastrous for the American economy as it is proving to be for those in Europe," Loris added.
But the watchdog group Public Citizen said Trump was committing an "epic blunder."
"In an administration that seems incapable of doing much right, Trump's stances on climate change and clean energy still stand out as exceptionally wrongheaded," said David Arkush, managing director of the group's climate program. "The U.S. already is suffering from the effects of global warming, and right now we are on course for catastrophic harm as soon as the second half of this century. At the same time, solutions are readily available."
Trump's move would mark the second time in two decades that the United States has negotiated, signed but then spurned a major international climate pact following a change of party control in the White House. The previous occasion — the decision by George W. Bush to abandon the 1997 Kyoto accord negotiated by the Clinton administration — caused years of distrust of the U.S. in international climate circles.
Since then, climate scientists say, the problem has grown only more dire, with few years left for nations to act if they want to avoid the droughts, floods, famines, mass migrations and worsening storms that a changing climate would bring.
Only two countries declined to join the Paris agreement: Syria and Nicaragua.
Republican leaders in Congress had warned other countries before the Paris talks not to trust Obama's promises, noting that a future GOP president could undo any commitments he made. The Obama administration had insisted that the deal's carbon-cutting targets be nonbinding, avoiding the politically disastrous Senate ratification fight that a binding treaty would require.
It would take years for the U.S. to formally withdraw from the Paris deal. But the U.S. is the world's second-largest carbon polluter, and its decision to walk away would threaten to weaken the resolve of major emitters such as China and India to keep their own pledges, even though both nations have pledged to remain in the agreement.
The move is certain to draw the ire of dozens of American allies who received assurances from the Obama administration that the United States was committed to the deal.
Wednesday's news comes on top of separate steps by Trump to weaken the major domestic planks of Obama's climate agenda, including Environmental Protection Agency regulations requiring cuts in greenhouse gas pollution from power plants.
Trump's advisers have been — and remain — at odds over how the administration should approach Paris. Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, had pushed to stay in the deal, and Ivanka even brought Al Gore to Trump Tower to meet with her father in December. Gore spoke with Trump again this month in an effort to encourage the president to remain in the agreement.
Trump was also personally lobbied by world leaders at last week's G-7 summit in Italy, and foreign diplomats repeatedly made their case for remaining in the agreement during frequent calls with administration officials.
Others in the "remain" camp included Tillerson, who had praised the Paris deal when he was Exxon Mobil's CEO. During his confirmation hearing this year, he said the United States must keep "its seat at the table" for international climate talks.
But ultimately, Bannon and his allies in the White House appeared to win Trump over, arguing that the agreement wasn't in the U.S. interest.
Even if the U.S. stuck with the deal, scientists and climate activists have warned that the targets Obama and other leaders promised in Paris wouldn't cut enough carbon pollution to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Instead, they said, the signing nations would have to steadily escalate their commitments in coming years.
The agreement calls on countries to aim to limit global warming to "well below" 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit from pre-industrial levels, and it said countries should "pursue efforts" to keep temperature increases to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Under a business as usual scenario, global temperatures could rise by between 4.7 degrees Fahrenheit and 8.6 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, according to the United Nations, an increase that would have catastrophic consequences.
U.S. greenhouse gas output has slid sharply in the past decade — a trend driven partly by increases in energy efficiency and a shift from coal to natural gas as a power source — and Obama had pledged to continue those reductions in the coming decade to meet the American commitments in Paris. Hillary Clinton had promised even steeper reductions.
Trump, meanwhile, vowed during the campaign that he would reverse Obama's policies, lift restrictions on the energy industry and "save our wonderful coal miners." Those pledges helped him win fossil fuel-producing swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Trump's upcoming decision raises the prospect that other countries will move on without the U.S., lessening America's influence. Indeed, the European Union and China are set to pledge deeper cooperation on the Paris agreement and the promotion of clean energy technologies, according to a draft leaders' statement for an upcoming summit that was seen by POLITICO.
Maroš Šefčovič, the vice president of the EU's energy union, said Thursday that Europeans will stick with their climate efforts regardless of what the Americans do.
"For Europe there is no plan B, because we do not have a planet B," Šefčovič told reporters. "If they decide to pull out, this would be disappointing, but I really don't think that this would change the course of mankind."

Bortuzzo, Ehrhoff lead Penguins past Hurricanesby Kurt Dusterberg
RALEIGH, N.C. -- On a night when high-scoring defenseman Kris Letang was out of the lineup, his partners on the Pittsburgh Penguins' back end showed off some skating and stickhandling abilities of their own.
Defensemen Robert Bortuzzo and Christian Ehrhoff each scored in a tight-checking 3-2 Penguins win against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Saturday.
Bortuzzo's goal gave the Penguins a 2-1 lead at 5:32 in the first period. He carried the puck over the blue line and skated between Hurricanes defensemen Jay Harrison and John-Michael Liles before firing a shot inside the left post.
"[Letang] was there after the first period in the tunnel with a good grin on his face, telling me I've been watching him too much," Bortuzzo said. "He's a great player. If I can make a play like that, I'm happy to do it."
Letang was a late scratch with a minor lower-body injury. Penguins coach Mike Johnston said Letang did not sustain the injury when Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty fell on his leg Friday during a 4-2 Carolina victory.
"I don't expect it to be too much," Johnston said. "He was with us on the trip, but [the medical staff] just felt this morning that he wasn't ready to play."
For the Penguins (16-5-2), the win against the Hurricanes came at the end of a stretch of six games in nine days and one night after a lackluster effort in which Carolina outshot them 35-22.
"When you can get a fresh start the next day and you know you're playing the same team, I think you're pretty motivated given the way things went the night before," Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said. "I thought that was the case for us tonight. We were a lot better than last night."
The game started in an unwelcome but familiar fashion for Pittsburgh. Carolina again got on the board first. With Bortuzzo in the box for roughing, Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk took a pass from Victor Rask and blasted a high shot from the top of the left faceoff circle past Penguins goalie Thomas Greiss at 3:39 of the first period.
Chris Kunitz answered quickly, scoring his ninth at 3:56 of the first to snap an 11-game goal drought. Evgeni Malkin circled the net and slipped a backhand pass to Kunitz, who snapped a shot past Anton Khudobin to tie the game. Kunitz started the play in the neutral zone when he spun and dumped a backhand beyond the goal line, where Malkin took over.
The Penguins had to weather three Carolina power plays in the second period, leaning on Greiss to make nine of his 32 saves on the penalty kills. Greiss kept Carolina at bay by fending off a couple redirected shots from the slot.
Greiss' best save of the period came at even strength, moving across the crease to stop Eric Staal's wrist shot on a 2-on-1.
"[Greiss] has played outstanding," Johnston said. "You saw the saves he made on the penalty kill tonight. He was great for us. Every game he's been in, he's given us a chance to win for sure."
Needing some breathing room down the stretch, Ehrhoff took matters into his own hands with a fine individual play. He skated the puck from his own blue line past two Carolina defenders, got off a shot on his backhand, then tucked the rebound into the net on his forehand for a 3-1 Pittsburgh lead with 4:33 remaining. It was his first goal of the season.
"I was going to go that way anyway, and the puck came back to me, and I just got a stick on it again," Ehrhoff said.
The veteran defenseman used Bortuzzo's goal to light a bit of a fire.
"It was definitely inspiring to see how he just walked through the middle there untouched and (put it) off the post and in," Ehrhoff said. "I told him on the bench, I took a page out of his book there on my goal."
Carolina's Elias Lindholm scored a power-play goal with 11 seconds remaining.
The Hurricanes (7-13-3) have lost seven of their past nine games. One night after carrying the play against Pittsburgh, Carolina couldn't find the same gear.
"I didn't think we played as well as the game went along," Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said. "I thought the energy was obviously a part of it, but also the execution. We didn't get pucks in behind their defense."
Khudobin, who made 30 saves, remains winless at 0-5-2.
"He's been fine," Peters said. "I'm sure it's frustrating for him. It's something we'll address Monday with him and see where he's at. But we haven't scored when he's been in the net. That's the reality."

The next morning the car was loaded (and I mean, loaded) and I was headed East on I 84 to La Grande, followed by an afternoon in the Vineyard Town, followed by a drive to Pullman.
In true Lisa fashion, I was initially very focused on getting to La Grande and getting through the 4 hour drive. Very focused.
I have a tendancy to speed. I just usually don't enjoy the trip.
Somewhere outside of Hood River, I realized what I was doing. It was the weekend after graduate school graduation. I am unemployed. I am not in school. I have the support and love of some very important people in my life to be able to do that. Not everybody has that support. When I realized that, when I realized my privilege in that moment, I let go.
And I saw it was sunny outside.
And the Columbia River an outrageous blue.
And the green in the first part of the Gorge a sexy green. You know what I mean? A really seductive, earthy green.
That's when I realized that that was my after graduation road trip. And although I normally hate driving, I decided to ... not. To not hate it. To enjoy 4 hours to myself. I opened the sun roof. I turned up the radio. I sang. (Singing regulates your breathing and produces endorphins. Fyi.)
And then I started remembering. Because that entire drive - from the Coast to the Idaho State Border, travelling East on I 84, is a collage of my life. Outside Hood River, I found myself (metaphorically) headed West, following Shoes in the U-Haul, excited and scared to death about moving to Portland and starting graduate school. I am grateful for Shoes and wondering if we'll make this relationship work.
Approaching Boardman, the song "1st of tha month" (thanks to an old boyfriend I wish I could have remained friends with) floods into my head and I am a sophomore and I am socially awkward and painfully shy and then I am a senior and at prom and then I am wondering how the class of 1996 is doing.
7 miles later, I am passing the house we lived in and remembering not so awesome things, so I keep driving.
In Pendleton, I am starting my first job as a summer apprentice at NOAA Weather Radio and I am struck with boredom because there is very little weather that happens in Pendleton in July. I am staring out the window with the fire guy watching dust devils swirl.
And then I am headed up Meacham into La Grande and I am an undergraduate freshman and I am delivering pizzas for Dominos and then I am a sophomore and I am breaking up with the Bone Thugs N Harmony boyfriend and then we are getting back together and then we are breaking up. I am graduating with two bachelors on a sunny afternoon and have started my first social work job {not realizing then that I was making a life decision that would forever change how I related to people}.
In La Grande, I am meeting Former Husband for the first time and we are starting our courtship and marriage. I am taking kids to Mexico for missions trips.
Later, when headed to the Vineyard Town to meet Shoes, the memories stop and I am in present time. I am not returning to the scene of any crime any longer. I am meeting a partner who has loved and shown love and provided and made me laugh until my sides hurt because his wittiness drowns you.
Now, I am here in Pullman, where I have created very few memories.
The graduation road trip is over.
It is sunny a lot here. Cloudless skies over rolling green wheat fields.
I have been sleeping in.
I have been smiling.
This is a good place, I think.

Raised beds can often be a very good system to use in a school garden especially if the soil in your area is heavy clay or suffers from waterlogging. The use of raised beds with children also means that soil isn't being trampled and compacted and also that children's shoes avoid being caked with mud. The size of the raised beds should be appropriate to the age of child for which they are intended. Children should be able to comfortably reach into all parts of the beds without stepping onto the soil. Raised beds can be constructed using railway sleepers, old wooden scaffolding boards or gravel boards. Alternatively many gardening suppliers sell raised bed kits made from timber or plastic. Click here for some examples.

Luxury-car powerhouse BMW (NASDAQOTH:BAMXF) has struggled with weak sales in Europe, particularly in its home market of Germany. Tough economic conditions have hammered new-car sales throughout Europe, and BMW is just one of many automakers who are suffering.
But BMW is still posting strong profits, thanks to very strong results in a couple of key overseas markets. In this video, Fool.com contributor John Rosevear looks at BMW's latest global sales figures – and at some of the hot new models driving the German icon's overseas success.

At first glance you may be mistaken for believing that due to you having bad credit that getting a student loan will, therefore, be impossible; however, this is not actually the case as will be explained below. This confusion does arise due to the fact that student loans are generally just intended for people that have a good credit rating, but there are ways around this and they are perfectly legal as well.
Get someone to co-sign your agreement.
One common way to get around the problem of you having bad credit is to have someone co-sign the agreement that has an excellent credit rating. This means that they share the burden of the loan and the company providing you with the funding will also see it as being less of a risk as you now have someone who is effectively acting as a guarantor.
The idea behind this approach is that their good score will offset your bad one and this does mean that those companies that use the FICO score approach to decide if they will approve the loan will be more likely to pass you as a result. One thing to be aware of is that you may be offered a lower amount of money than you would if you had a good credit rating, but you will still be offered something instead of being stuck with no funding whatsoever. Please do note that some companies will tend to focus more on your overall credit history rather than simply this score and this can of course make a difference as to whether or not they give you any money.
The only problem with this approach is that the person that co-signs the agreement with you must trust you 100% because they will end up having to make the payments each month should you fail to do so and this will undoubtedly put a strain on your relationship with them.
Apply for federal student loans.
However, if you do not wish to place the burden on the shoulders of someone else who would act as your guarantor, then you may prefer to apply for federal student loans instead. These types of loans are different in that they do not use the FICO score method when it comes to making their decision as they base their decision purely on the financial needs of the individual. The good thing about federal student loans is that they do not carry out a credit check and this does, therefore, mean that your previous problems that have led to having a bad credit rating will play no part in their decision as to whether or not they give you that money.
They do also offer a variety of loans for students and they are designed to help you with different things during the course of your studies. You will see that they can offer both subsidized and unsubsidized loans that are going to help pay for those expenses you run up with your education and the various loans will depend upon your own individual financial needs. It is also worth pointing out that there are also some needs based loans available as well and these Stafford loans and Perkins loans are going to come with very low interest rates making them affordable for most people. Do note that you may get some subsidized needs based loans as well and this means the government is going to pay the interest and this can make a real difference to your finances each month.
Apply for private student loans.
A final option for you is to consider applying for private student loans and there are a number of companies out there that are happy to give you some funding as long as you meet their qualifying criteria. The only thing about these private student loans is that they also generally require you to have a guarantor just like loans through the normal funding channels and this can put off some people from applying.
Your guarantor can be anybody and they do of course need to have a fantastic credit rating, but you do have the same pitfalls as were mentioned before in regard to what happens should you miss a repayment. The interest rates that you pay on this type of funding can either be fixed or linked to various factors so it can go up or down depending on how the economy is performing.
It is important to point out that these companies will often offer you a lower interest rate depending on how good your guarantor is and it should also be pointed out that they are happy to give money to people that have no credit rating either. The reason for this is because, in many instances, having no credit history is just as bad as having a poor credit rating as there is no way of them knowing if you are good at paying things back or not, but your guarantor will help you get around this problem.
How much you are awarded will vary as will the interest rates that you need to pay so it does make sense to spend time contacting various companies for private loans as well as finding out how much money you will be offered via federal loans before you start applying. All of this can generally be done online making it very easy, but when you are using a guarantor, then it will often take longer to find out if your application has been a success due to the fact they will have to check out their background as well as your own.
So that is how you can still get a student loan even when you have bad credit and there is actually nothing complex or difficult about it so all you need to do is think about which option you would like to take and apply for the money. The amount you will be awarded may differ from those people with a good credit rating, but at least you can still get some kind of funding whereas prior to reading this, you may have believed that it was not possible and resigned yourself to not getting a loan at any point.

I'm currently running Windows XP SP3 on an IBM T41. Currently, I am periodically encountering Blue Screens--STOP codes 0x0000007E and 0x00000050. I cannot come up normally at all, so I am not able to get to the internet. I'm not sure if it's caused by a virus, memory, RAM or some hardware inconsistency. Sometimes I'm able to come up in SAFE MODE (never SAFE MODE w/networking) and sometimes I BLUE SCREEN in SAFE MODE.
I did find Minidumps on my hard drive; and, I've attached them. I tarred/zipped the directory (Minidump.tar.gz), but renamed it to "Minidump.tar.gz.txt" so that I could upload it. Can someone please help?
Thank you,

It has a long way to go to get it to where it works for our business
Seems like the interface will be easy to use
Tagging everything takes time, doesn't find everything we are searching for, etc.

It's all about the metadata! If you are using the right metadata, it makes finding and managing your images easy! MediaBeacon allowed me to do just that, by being able to set up custom metadata fields that work for us. Users are able to find images quickly. There is no wasting time digging around on the servers looking through multiple folders to try to find things.
We have been using MediaBeacon for about 12 years. I love the flexibility we have with the software and how it integrates with our process. We were able to set up custom metadata fields that work with our unique data. The team at MediaBeacon worked hard to get things working the way we needed, to integrate with our other data systems. Searching for images is fast and the interface is very user friendly. The metadata you enter, makes all the difference. We are able to use the same data fields the entire company is familiar with, which helps everyone find images quickly. MediaBeacon also gives you the ability to easily create Workflow scripts to do some of the metadata tagging and moving of images for you, which saves us time processing the image files as well has keeping the process flowing. Our team is loving MediaBeacon since we upgraded last year.
Wish there was a easy way to drag & drop images from MediaBeacon into InDesign directly from the Browser, without additional software.

We are a corporate company whose agency uses Media Beacon for file sharing. It's nice that i can log in receive files.
The files are hard to find. The navigation is not intuitive and it's hard to see which files were recently added. It becomes very frustrating.

Thanks for the review, Emily. It sounds like your experience with MediaBeacon has room for improvement. We'd like to reach out and see how we can help with that. Will you please send an email me at cooper.whitescarver (at) mediabeacon.com and I'll personally look into this? Thanks!

Security and control over their intellectual property was a priority that lead Buck Wear to MediaBeacon. MediaBeacon's ability for on-site hosting meant retaining full control of their
intellectual property. Buck Wear also appreciated the flexibility that MediaBeacon's web-based
interface offered. This meant their Creative team, working on Macs, and their Sales representatives, on Windows, could all easily interact with the assets they needed ' without needing to download and install additional software. This also indicated it could significantly reduce the amount of requests the Sales team was making for already made assets as they could begin self-serving.
They liked MediaBeacon's powerful search tool to reduce time in finding assets and its intelligent facet search for intelligently organizing assets for them.

Thanks so much for the review, Amy! I'm happy to hear your experience with MediaBeacon has been a great one and your team has been able to reduce requests by allowing the sales team to self serve assets. -Cooper

A sequel to Ubisoft and developer Techland's Western-themed first-person shooters is on the way, but the new installment will radically alter the makeup of the Call of Juarez franchise. Where the first two games featured storylines set in the early to mid-1800s, the new title, Call of Juarez: The Cartel, will take place in the modern day setting, and take players from Los Angeles to Juarez, Mexico.
"Call of Juarez: The Cartel is an action-packed shooter game with a strong story, interesting characters and a wide variety of gameplay options," Adam Novickas, director of marketing at Ubisoft, said in the press release. "The game will bring the best elements of the Wild West into modern times with a very gritty and relevant plot."
Beyond that details are scarce, and no release window was given. Keep an eye out for this one, and expect more details in the coming months.
