Maggie Mahar – What Does the Tax Cut Deal Mean for Medicare, Social Security and Health Care Reform?
From Maggie Mahar's Health Beat:
What Does the Tax Cut Deal Mean for Medicare, Social Security and Health Care Reform? Part 1
When President Obama struck a deal with conservatives on tax cuts, his opponents set the stage for 2012. With this legislation, the conservative agenda of the Bush administration once again becomes national policy. The goal: to redistribute wealth upward–even if that means letting the deficit balloon.
Not long ago, conservatives on the Deficit Commission were warning that the deficit represents a "cancer" that will "destroy the country from within."
Now, politicians on the right are arguing for tax cuts that will add $858 billion to the deficit over ten years—plus $383 in interest over the same span—bringing the total impact on the national debt to $1.24 trillion through 2020. And somehow, that is suddenly a brilliant idea?
Trust me, there is a method to Mitch McConnell's madness: The larger the deficit, the more compelling the conservative case for shrinking entitlements such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Health Care reform in 2012.
Part 2 here.
Tax Compromise Will Affect Social Security
Why Obama's Tax Deal May Be an Even Bigger Disaster Than You Think

Study: Half of Seniors at Risk for Poverty
by James Parks, Dec 8, 2010
Here's one big reason congressional Republicans and the deficit hawks are dead wrong about cutting Social Security benefits: According to a new study, nearly half (47.4 percent) of all Americans between the ages of 60 and 90 will experience at least one year of poverty or near poverty and seniors of color are twice as likely to be affected.
The study by Mark Rank, a professor of social work at Washington University in St. Louis, shows that 58 percent of seniors between 60 and 84 will, at some point, not have enough liquid assets to allow them to weather an unanticipated expense or downturn in income.
But if you are a senior who is black or unmarried or have less than a high school education, the likelihood that you will be poor at some point increases dramatically. Rank found that although 32.7 percent of white older Americans will experience at least one year below the official poverty line, the percentage for black older Americans was nearly double at 64.6 percent.
For unmarried seniors, the percentage experiencing poverty was 51.2 percent compared with 24.9 percent for married older Americans. Likewise, for those with fewer than 12 years of education, the percentage experiencing poverty was 48.4 percent compared with 20.5 percent for those with 12 or more years of education.
Economist's View – "Workers Must Work Longer for Less Because the Rich are Living Longer"
From the Economist's View:
"Workers Must Work Longer for Less Because the Rich are Living Longer"
It's nice to see the local paper highlighting this side of the Social Security debate:
Economist's View – "Raise Retirement Age and More Become Disabled"
From Economist's View:
"Raise Retirement Age and More Become Disabled"
Raising the retirement age also raises disability applications, so this won't save as much money as many people think, and could even make things worse if the early retirement age is changed (the early retirement age is currently 62):
Raise Retirement Age and More Become Disabled, by Merrill Goozner: Most people are working and living longer, so it seems like a no-brainer to raise the retirement age to help close the long-term Social Security funding gap. But the move could backfire and not save as much as predicted. Why? Not all groups are able to work longer, a new report from the Government Accountability Office says.
"Raising the retirement ages would likely increase the number of workers applying for and receiving disability insurance benefits," which also comes out of Social Security, said the report…
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities – Off the Charts
From Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
This week on Off the Charts, we focused on the federal budget, state budgets, unemployment, food assistance, and Social Security.
- On the federal budget, we featured Bob Greenstein's recent commentary on reducing the deficit, as seen in a New York Times "Room for Debate." Jim Horney answered questions about key issues facing Congress during the lame duck session, and also looked at the budget plan from the co-chairs of the President's fiscal commission. In addition, we showed how extending the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts would affect the national debt. And, Paul Van de Water noted that the Peterson-Pew Commission on Budget Reform's proposal places too much blame for the nation's fiscal problems on the budget process.
- On state budgets, Nicholas Johnson explained why the President's proposed tax break for business investment would be expensive for states, and Bob Tannenwald discussed why states pay a high price in allocating film tax credits yet receive little in return.
- On unemployment, Chad Stone discussed why demands that Congress offset the cost of renewing federal emergency unemployment insurance benefits are hypocritical or counterproductive. Chad also pointed out that unemployment benefits are important for middle-class families as well as those near the poverty line.
- On food assistance, Dottie Rosenbaum highlighted new data showing that food stamps helped keep hunger at bay despite the recession.
- On Social Security, Kathy Ruffing demonstrated that so-called "progressive price indexing" would not be the best way to fix Social Security's shortfall.
In other news, the Center released a podcast on key congressional issues in the lame duck session, reports on the Bowles-Simpson and Peterson-Pew debt reduction proposals as well as on state film subsidies and progressive price indexing, and held a media briefing on state film tax credits.

Rise of the Runelords
Zavian Desante
A young cleric of Abadar
- Zavian had an initiate sense for the flow of gold. He felt disruptions to the gold stream in a way that others could not. Especially when it involved his family. Thus, it came as no surprise that he was eventually recruited to become a Cleric of Abadar.
- During the great Magnimarian Recession, the Disante and Leonte families were hit hard. Zavian used his Aasimar heritage to draw in crowds.
- Contrary to the stoic person he is now, in the past, he was known as the King of Lowcleft and his queen was the once innocent and proper, Julia Leonte. Adventures and all sorts flocked to party with the Aasimar.
- Zavian ultimately grew tired of it all, it was fun while it lasted, but he had always felt the call of something greater. His revelation came when an adventurer spat at him (likely Keris), telling him that he knew nothing of the greater world beyond Magnimar. Zavian, made his decision to leave.
- With Julia, he could have had everything. A loving girl, money, sex, drugs, and hardcore bard music (aka rock & roll), but he had only used his Aasimar heritage to help his family. The true Zavian had grown bored. His greatest joy had come from hunting down criminals and giving them the golden bolt
Encounters with Sarenrae:
(1) In the tunnels below the Foxglove Manor, Zavian was nearly hard hit by a fire attack, but unbeknownst to him, the Sarenrae energies that still course within him were strong enough to ward off the attack. (Actually Gareth played a card)
(2) Zavian has always had an interest in watching the dawn of day, bathing in the sun's warmth. He previously looked into the religion of Sarenrae, but felt that its good nature did not match well with his own.
The Relationship between Maxzavian and Elszevina:
(1) They were battlefield comrades and serve complementary roles. Zavian was the support spellcaster and Elszevina the Swift was the quick strike fighter.
(2) They had a master-student relationship.
("Each archon begins life as a lantern archon or lesser servitor spirit, gaining in power and prestige through aiding the cause of good. Watched over by benevolent mentors and captains of the divine orders")
(3) Maxzavian was a researcher. He wasn't expected to do well in battle, but he still played a vital role in crafting spells (like Vivicarnum)
Reasons why Zavian makes a Pact with the Devil:
(1) Maxzavian desired to measure up to Elszevina's battle prowess and sought out to exchange his soul for power.
(2) Maxzavian and the Dawn Bringers were engaged in a hopeless battle. To save his friends and especially that of Elszevina, Zavian sacrificed his very soul and made a pact with the contract devil, Belawlus. However, it was unclear whether it was the devil's influence or Dawn Bringer's conviction that saw them through that fateful day.
(3) Maxzavian, rather than redeem the devil according to Sarenrae's will, instead decided to take the contract devil's offer of power in exchange for their freedom.
(4) A special type of female contract devil simply seduced Maxzavian, named Belawara.
(5) Zavian and Elszevina were separated when one of the Dawn Bringers turned traitor and made a pact with the contract devil to lead them away from Sarenrae's light.
(6) Elszevina was badly injured. Maxzavian made a pact with the devil to sacrifice his very angelic essence that she might live.
How Zavian Learns of His past:
(1) Sarenrae's holy text, the Birth of Light and Truth, has a special section for the individual owner to record their own stories of heroism and greatness. Zavian somehow finds his own original text and learns of his past exploits.
("Most copies contain extra pages for the owner to record uplifting stories he experiences or hears in order to repeat them to others")
(2) An old comrade from the Dawn Bringers that is also a hound archon confronts Zavian. The hound archon takes the form of a seemingly normal dog that follows Zavian around.
(3) Zavian has dreams of that fateful night that haunt him. Helszevina, perhaps due to her lingering love for Zavian or to antagonize, calls to Zavian from beyond. Although he interprets it as dreams and nightmares.
(4) Maxzavian knew that may forget his memory and asked an old trumpet archon friend to deliver a message to his new self as Zavian when the time came.
Zavian's and His Angelic Patron:
(1) Zavian worships Sarenrae.
(2) Zavian decides he wants freedom and to find his own path, he decides to worship Desna.
(3)Zavian serves an Empyreal Lord that is a close ally of Sarenrae and thus serves Sarenrae indirectly.
Consequences of Breaking away from Abadar:
(1) One of Zavian's favored items breaks, but is eventually replaced by one given by the new deity (such as Metal Wings +3)
(2) Zavian's Cleric profession check, which generates weekly gold, ironically earns him lawsuits that loss him gold.
(3) The Bank of Abadar seizes all his gold.
Battles and Confrontations:
(1) Zavian fights with his old comrades.
(2) Zavian fights with a zealous paladin of Sarenrae from the Cult of the Dawn Flower ("There are no second chances in the desert…These hard-edged priests offer mercy once and only once to their opponents, and if refused, they are ruthless in battle, ignoring offers to parley or surrender, and unafraid to judge neutral opponents as if they were black-hearted evildoers.")
(3) Zavian fights a mercenary hired by the contract devil
(4) Zavian fights with the Contract Devil
(5) Zavian confronts Helszevina
Other Ideas:
(2) Zavian becomes an agent on varisa since angels have a harder time coming down to earth.
Vivicarnum spell:
School transmutation [Good]
Casting Time 2 rounds (1 round to cast blood bibliography and 1 rounds to cast Animate Dead)
Components V, S, M (an onyx gem worth at least 25 gp per Hit Die of the undead)
Range touch
Targets one corpse touched
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Will (see below); Spell Resistance no
Concept: Vivicarnum is a good aligned version of the animate dead spell that use the same mechanics for determining HD control and creation. However, instead of animating dead bodies into undead slaves, this spell animates a construct called a "vivicar" that is a good aligned version of the target creature. Vivicar constructs are imbued with the 'good' qualities of the target creature's will and personality that align most closely with the 'cause' of the adventurers. In this regard, vivicars should be seen more as individuals volunteering to join the adventurer's cause rather than as mindless servants.
However, because of the difficulties associated with attempting to bring out the inner good of certain evil creatures (such as devils or ardent killers), the GM may ascribe if Vivicarnum can work at all or if a will save is appropriate. The will save should take into account things such as the creature's past good deeds or a hidden desire to protect its loved ones.
Vivicarnum generally requires the target creature to be dead because the inner-light and good emotions that the spell attempts to preserve are often not strong enough until roused by the creature in its final moments. However, these positive emotions could also have been stirred by traumatic events as well.
Spell Components: Vivicarnium uses aasimar angelic blood and requires the caster to cast a modified blood bibliography to create a scroll to be placed in a miniature figurine. The scroll contains the inscribed 'good' animus of target creature and once the scroll is placed into the miniature it enlarges, taking on the characteristics and form of the target creature. (based off the golem of prague)
As Abadar built the Lawgiver, so too did Zavian build his blood construct.
Zavian, as a Cleric, desires to attune others to the will of his God's. He also enjoys the idea of having others that will fight for him.
Zavian recognized that animating the dead would cause conflict amongst the Ruin Wardens (specifically Lea). Therefore, he sought out an alternative.
Variant versions of these constructs generally require the input of craftsmen (such as Marcus), which drives the exchange of gold as is Abadar's will.

Developing a growth strategy is easy. Getting it right is not.
Gale Crosley, a growth strategist for CPA firms, explains that successful expansion plans require at least three critical elements: (1) identify the right set of services (2) for a needful target market (3) delivered through the appropriate distribution methods.
Sounds simple, right? No.
But, she says, "When you hook a service to a channel to a target, and you get exactly the three digits right, then all of a sudden you pop open the strategy and that's how you get great growth."

ULIPs guise various things in lots of fine prints. Don't buy any plan either MF or ULIP with insurance/risk cover attached even if they claim is "free", there is nothing that is free. Keep risk cover with pure term insurance as premiums are really small and can be sustained at any time (25 lakh coverage should be available for rs 6000-9000/pa for 25 yrs to 36 yrs). If you try to mix it with investments, if you can't sustain high premiums in future, you will run into risk of losing life risk cover.

Today I visited ICICI for a top-up and they tried to sell a new policy which they claimed that would allocate 100% premium with 120% guaranteed first year premium addition! I wrote the check, signed the paper and then relooked at the charges - first year premimum will not be invested, is treated as charge!

Kotak showed a plan with no premimum allocation charges. But when I looked at the "Other"/"Admin" charges, it is 3% of annual premium, quoted in monthly rate of 0.25% of annual premimum.

Aviva tried to sell a product where they would not only guarantee sum insured but pay future investment premimums as well in case of insured's death. When I questioned about the high premium allocation charges, they told it is to cover for future premiums. However there was separate annual risk cover charge for the future premium payments in addition to usual mortality charge!

Don't just believe the "products" from insurance companies, IRDA is sleeping while SEBI has made mutual funds more transparent and less convoluted.

Keep life simple, you need pure insurance to cover your life, health, property. Keep insurance separate from all investment firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34865085.post-41034296083304986212008-12-25T11:55:00.000+05:302008-12-25T11:55:00.000+05:30You are bang on Target Sushil.

The reason person opts for insurance in first place is that financial assistance is provided to the dependents/nominee on the demise of the applicant.
The SIP+insure instead of paying to the nominee of the person deseased, fills up its own kitty by putting back the amount to the scheme itself.ONLINEMFhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34865085.post-68590723343278989742008-08-18T22:29:00.000+05:302008-08-18T22:29:00.000+05:30@RGV,Nice and neat layout of blog.OnlineMF@RGV,

The Sum Assured incase of death will be invested in the nominee's name in the same scheme. The nominee can withdraw these funds by paying an exit load of 2% or at the end of the term without paying any exit load.

Example: If the insured started an SIP of Rs.3000 in Reliance Growth, incase of death, the Sum Assured (or) insurance amount received will be invested in the same scheme that is "Reliance Growth" in the nominee's name. The nominees fund balance = Value of investments made by insured + Sum Assured received. He can withdraw this amount by paying a exit load of 2%

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Thank you for your comments. Regarding myself, I am neither an Insurance nor a Mutual Fund Agent(YET). I am a IT Professional. I have been in the US for eight years before I returned to India in 2003. Financial planning is like a hobby for me. I spend time acquiring knowledge and reading when I have the time. Out of pure interest I did pass my AMFI exam more than a year back but I have not yet applied for an ARN number. Last year work suddenly got very busy and I had to vist the US. I was asked to give a lecture about financial planning in my company about three weeks back. Ever since I have renewed interest in this area. Infact, now I am planning to apply for my ARN Number with AMFI.

Regarding the source, I got the information about Century SIP from Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund website. I have downloaded the offcial PDF released by them about Century SIP. The information I posted is accurate per the information in Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund website. But a pair of eyes is always better than one, so I would like to request to review your source again.

Thanks,
RajRaj Gopal Vuppalahttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-34865085.post-71241837848635652142008-08-07T17:07:00.000+05:302008-08-07T17:07:00.000+05:30Dear vvrk,Congratulations for writing such a wonde...Dear vvrk,
Congratulations for writing such a wonderful article. Yes, Free Insurance Plans from Mutual funds would go a long way in correcting the investor's mind vis a vis Insurance and Mutual Funds.

There are some mistakes in your message. Obviously, you are a ULIP agent, so it could be that you are not that deeply into Mutual funds.

Quote 'Example: An investor does a monthly SIP of Rs.5,000 for 10 years in Birla Sunlife Frontline Equity Fund. If he dies after a period of 3 yrs, then his Sum Assured = Amount of SIP Installment X 100 = 5000 X 100 = Rs.5,00,000' UnQuote.

In the above example, that you have taken, you are wrong, that the investor will get 5,00,000 because the fine print of the Birla Century SIP says, the investor will be paid, amount invested or the market value, which ever is high. So, if in the above example, the investor has paid Rs.5000 x 36 months, he has paid, Rs.1,80,000. So, here he will get an insurance amount of 1,80,000 or the fund value which ever is more as insurance amount apart from the fund value.
So, suppose, in the above example the investor's investment has gone upto say Rs.1.5lakhs, then the investor will get Rs.1.5Lakhs, then obviously, the investor will get Rs.1.5 lakhs (which is the fund value) plus Rs.1.8 lakhs( the amount he has invested till now). So, he will get totally Rs.1.5 + Rs.1.8, totalling Rs.3.3 Lakhs, and not Rs.5 Lakhs as mentioned by you.

Correct me if am wrong.

I am selling life insurance in Canada and it's inevitable to cooperate with other financial sector to survive on the market. Results for offered free insurance policies in your test were good, however, it's not always like that (at least here in Canada). Insurance policies bounded with some other product are often not well tailored for clients, so I believe traditional brokers will not "die out" so soon...

Calls Halloween a 'great family day' in Kent
To the Editor:
Halloween 2010 was a great family day in Kent.
Congratulations to the 175-plus youngsters who participated in Kent Park and Recreation's annual Kids Fun Run, held in conjunction with the Kent Pumpkin Run.
This was the most youngsters ever to participate.
Park and Rec would like to thank the Pumpkin Run organization committee for its willingness to work with us to promote the Fun Run, for processing and sharing the online registration, and for providing race bibs for the children.
I would like to extend my personal thanks to John Casey, Dave Dunleavy, Lynn Harrington, Wallie Jahn, John Lindsay and Rick Osborne for their assistance with the Fun Run.
Halloween evening, 750 community members and visitors to town participated in the annual Halloween Safety Campaign by wearing glow-in the-dark necklaces while trick or treating.
I enjoyed the opportunity to greet hundreds of youngsters and their families.
Thank you to the Kent Lions Club for again co-sponsoring this safety campaign.
The Kent Park and Recreation Commission and I appreciate the support of our Oct. 31 events and thank the families who shared the day with us.
Park and Recreation

Thread: TriCare
Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2002 14:33:24 -0700 Subject: (Medical matters) School physicals added to TRICARE benefits Under the 2001 National Defense Authorization Act, TRICARE will cover physical examinations required for school enrollment. The new benefit applies to all TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries ages 5 through 11. It does not cover sports physicals. The effective date for the benefit was Oct. 30, 2000. TRICARE advised beneficiaries to save all receipts and related paperwork for TRICARE reimbursement of school physicals received since Oct. 30, 2000. To file a claim for this reimbursement, beneficiaries should attach the receipt and paperwork to a claim form and send it to their regional managed care support contractor. TRICARE regards school physicals as preventive services. TRICARE Prime enrollees will not have co-payments or need referrals or authorizations from their primary care managers unless they go to a non-network provider. TRICARE Standard and Extra beneficiaries do not have to get referrals, but they will have to pay applicable cost shares and deductibles for the school physicals. Beneficiaries may download claim forms from the TRICARE Web site at http://www.tricare.osd.mil/claims/default.htm or may contact a local TRICARE Service Center. (Worldwide TRICARE Service Center directory is available online at http://www.tricare.osd.mil/tricarese...rs/default.cfm) Date: Fri, 09 Aug 2002 14:35:38 -0700 Subject: [Health.mil] DoD Provides Transitional Health Care Benefits for 60 or 120 Days {01} August 2, 2002 No. 02-20 Family members of active duty sponsors involuntarily separated from military service under honorable conditions, or family members of Reserve Component members separated after serving on active duty for more than 30 days in support of contingency operations, are eligible to receive transitional health care benefits for 60 or 120 days under the new Department of Defense (DoD) Worldwide TRICARE Transitional Health Care Demonstration Project if their sponsor was on active duty Jan. 1, 2002, or later. The new demonstration project provides medical benefits to certain eligible active duty and Reserve families when their sponsors depart from military service. Family members of sponsors with fewer than six years of active duty service are eligible for 60 days of transitional health care benefits; those with six years or more are eligible for 120 days. The transitional health care demonstration benefit is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2002, and remains in effect for two years, to allow DoD time to analyze the program and decide whether or not to make transitional health care a permanent TRICARE benefit for these family members. Under the demonstration project family members may use TRICARE Standard, the fee- for-service option with deductibles and cost shares; TRICARE Extra, the network option with deductibles and negotiated fees; or TRICARE Prime, the network option that is least costly for most people. Sponsors and family members who are enrolled in TRICARE Prime will be automatically disenrolled when the sponsor separates from active duty. To continue using the TRICARE Prime benefit during the transitional health care period, sponsors and family members must contact their TRICARE regional managed care support contractor, or their local TRICARE service center, and re-enroll in TRICARE Prime. There will be no break in TRICARE Prime coverage as long as the sponsor and family members re-enroll in TRICARE Prime. Dental benefits are available to former active duty and Reserve Component members, but under this demonstration, family members of former active duty and Reserve Component members are not entitled to dental benefits. However, Reserve Component members and their family members who are eligible and enrolled in the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) would be eligible for dental benefits under the TDP, which is separate from this demonstration project. To be eligible for transitional medical and dental benefits, the family member's sponsor must be: (1) a service member involuntarily separated from active duty; (2) a member of the Reserves separated from active duty after serving more than 30 days in support of a contingency operation; (3) a service member separated from active duty after being involuntarily retained on active duty in support of a contingency operation; or (4) a service member separated from military service who voluntarily remained on active duty for one year or less in support of a contingency operation. Transitional health care is not an automatic TRICARE benefit. Sponsors must ensure that they and their family members are enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). Active duty sponsors may verify or update DEERS information for themselves or their family members by contacting or visiting their local military identification (ID) card issuing facility. To locate the nearest military personnel office or ID card facility, sponsors may search the DEERS Web site at www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/. Claims for these family members will be processed using normal TRICARE claims processing procedures. Claims for family members with expired eligibility will be denied until eligibility is updated and verified in DEERS. If a member submits a claim and it is denied because of eligibility, the member should contact the Defense Manpower Data Center Support Office toll-free at 1-800-538- 9552. Sponsors and family members who have paid for health care expenses out of pocket, may submit a claim form (DD Form 2642) to TRICARE with a copy of their itemized bill to receive payment for these services. Family members who are eligible for care under the demonstration project and who have other health insurance (OHI), must submit all claims to their OHI provider first before submitting them for payment to TRICARE. Claim forms are available on the TRICARE Web site at www.tricare.osd.mil/claims or from the local beneficiary counseling and assistance coordinator (BCAC), TRICARE service center representative, or TRICARE managed care support contractor. Eligible sponsors or family members who require additional information on TRICARE may contact the Worldwide TRICARE Information Center toll-free at 1-888- DOD-CARE (1-888-363-2273). Additional information on TRICARE medical and dental benefits is available on the TRICARE Web site at http://www.tricare.osd.mil or by visiting the TRICARE service center or BCAC at the local military treatment facility. For questions or assistance regarding claims, sponsors and family members may contact the managed care support contractor in their region, the nearest TRICARE service center or a BCAC at the nearest military treatment facility. NOTES: 1. Worldwide TRICARE Service Center directory is available online at http://www.tricare.osd.mil/tricarese...rs/default.cfm 2.

Our Foods List
I can't write a list that is safe for everyone, but since our son is pretty darn sensitive, more sensitive than anyone I know in person, this list should be a good starting point for anyone that is trying to eliminate all FGA.
Do you our label checking, of course, and do let me know if there is something here I need to update or add. (When brands are listed, you can assume most other brands are probably not safe).
NOTE: These foods don't eliminate all free glutamate., which is extremely difficult, especially with a teenage boy! There will be trace amounts that someone extremely sensitive may react to. Anyone that wants to eliminate ALL sources and go on a complete glutamate elimination diet should follow the diet on msgmyth.com written by Deb: http://www.msgmyth.com/test_diet.html, and buy her book. My belief, though, is that this will eliminate enough that most people that suspect a sensitivity will be able to tell if it's making a difference.
Another great resource is Emily's Savory Seasonings Blog at http://savoryseasonings.blogspot.com/. She is much more strict than we are and has wonderful recipes.
General guidelines
- Anything that is directly from a plant or an animal is generally safe. E.g., plain rice, fruits, vegetables, whole milk, eggs
- Canned and boxed items (e.g., beans) are problematic and need to be checked very carefully
- Most anything that is processed is likely not safe (95% of the time), unless it has simple ingredients (beans, oil, salt; corn, potatoes)
- Pasta is usually safe but sauce often isn't
- Full-fat is always safer than low-fat (butter, sour cream, yogurt) but still is questionable.
- Crackers, soups, quick/sweet breads, cereals, snack bars, pizza, or basically anything processed or seasoned are huge problems and should be avoided
- No American cheese or processed cheese (nachos)
- No salad dressings, dips, barbeque sauce; other sauces have to be checked
- Nothing "cheesy", ranch, nancho, popcorn from a bag unless checked, etc
- No powdered milk, soy milk, rice milk, chocolate milk, margarine, or whipped cream.
Safe Foods
Whole Foods
- Fresh and frozen vegetables, cooked by you or raw
- Fresh and frozen fruit
- Whole spices and condiments (salt, pepper, herbs–anything that is grown on a plant), read mixes carefully
- Organic chicken pieces with nothing added, ground beef, ground pork, and steak
- Bulk grains you buy and cook yourself: rice, oats, etc
- Real butter, honey, sugar, and maple syrup
- Whole, 2%, or raw milk, half-and-half (most whipping cream or heavy cream has carrageenan)
- Most kinds of whole, "brick" cheese (avoid American or "cheese food")
- 100% real juices, without calcium added
Processed Foods
- Beeler's sausages (most mixed meats will be suspect)
- Applegate Farm beef hot dogs (but not lunch meats)
- Rudi's Organic Breads, buns, and bagels (has questionable ingredients but he has never reacted; it's our staple)
- Homerun Inn Classic or Thin-Crust Pizza (Signature looks OK but we haven't tried it)
- Cheerios, Gorilla Munch, and regular or cinnamon Puffins
- Stacey's Organic Tortillas, or tortillas with simple ingredients, no malted barley, and no aluminum
- Amy's frozen Mac-N-Cheese, regular or gluten-free but not dairy-free
- Natural peanut butter, almond butter
- Udi's Natural Granola
- Muir Glen basic pasta sauces
Snacks and Treats
- Plain potato and corn chips (label should say simply, Potatoes/Corn, oil, salt)
- Natural roasted/salted nuts without "flavors" (he loves cashews)
- Arlene's, Haagan Das, or Breyer's all natural (not extra creamy or special flavors) vanilla, chocolate, mint c/c, strawberry ice ream. (ALL OTHERS ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE REACTIONS)
- Oreos
- Hershey's regular milk chocolate
- Plain or nut M&Ms (limited quantities as coating has dextrose)
- Most dark chocolate from health food stores
- Hard candy is usually safe
- Twizzlers or Red Vines, sno-caps (movie theatres)
- sprite/7-up/equivalent (no DIET drinks whatsoever)
Sauces and Condiments
- Kikkoman soy sauce, no other brands unless you check ingredients
- Annie's Ketchup
- Annie's Cowgirl Ranch (only safe creamy dressing we've ever found!)
Pantry Staples
- Whole wheat or white 100% wheat flour (no malted barley)
- Aluminum-free baking powder; baking soda
- Bearito refried beans (most refried beans are OK, check labels)
Note: Ask for everything without sauce. If food comes with any kind of sauce on it, or if the fries have specks of pepper and taste really yummy, send it all back.
Almost all bread products at restaurants will contain malted barley flour. We compromise and eat malted barley flour when we are out but avoid bringing it into the house.
- Plain burgers at real restaurants (not fast food; they add protein; cafeterias in museums etc might be OK if patty is 100% beef). It MUST be ordered without any seasoning other than salt on any of the bun, burger, or french fries, and with Cheddar or Jack, NOT American
Note: waiters will often tell you they don't think the burger is seasoned, but they will most likely be wrong and they must tell the kitchen; the kitchen will think the seasoning has no MSG but if they don't mix it from salt and dried plants, it will always have something – the kitchen needs to just leave it off. If seasoning is pre-mixed into the burger, have them check the children's burger or make something else. If the fries are pre-seasoned or breaded, have something else.
- Small amounts of real white bread (not garlic bread, biscuits, corn bread, etc) with real butter
- Broccoli without seasoning
- Baked potato with only butter (or ask them to check the sour cream for carrageenan)
- Grilled salmon without any house seasonings or sauce (he adds sliced lemon)
- The bowls at Chipotle Mexican Grill are all safe; tortillas have aluminum
- Mexican food is usually pretty safe if they make everything from scratch. Chicken chimichangas are often fine, nachos made with grated cheddar and beef are options. No Nacho cheese, nothing with broth, no soups. Ask them to check the sour cream for carrageenan.
- Most chinese/asian food in Colorado is relatively safe. Ask the staff (or look on the menu) if they use MSG at all in the restaurant. ("We'll leave it off" is not enough, as it will be in the bases).
- Kikkoman soy sauce, no other brands unless you check ingredients.
- Traditional Indian restaurants are usually OK; avoid garlic Naan and sauces.
- The only take-out pizza I've found that is safe is Falbo Bros, without meat or Parmesan. Pizza is very tricky to make tasty and safe. I would love to find more safe pizza options, but doing so involves grilling the manager who rarely knows what is in the mixes that they get from a corporate office. Here are the questions to ask; you can stop if you get a "no": Do you grate your cheese fresh from a block each day? Do you make your own sauce from tomato paste and sauce and spices? If so, can you tell me exactly what is added and what is in your seasoning mix (watch for yeast, maltodextrin, parmesan, protein, etc)? Lastly, what are the ingredients in your plain white dough? (watch for cysteine as well as others).
Pre-made Desserts
- Best to skip dessert. Cake is sometimes OK but frosting is usually a problem. The richer the dessert the more likely it is to have problematic ingredients. Avoid cheesecake, mousse, custards, caramel, whipped cream.
- More likely to be safe options if you must have dessert: berries drizzled with chocolate sauce; soda with maraschino cherries; bread with butter and honey

Snack Review
Taste test: This snack was made by the same company as Pocky, but it reversed the Pocky formula by putting turning the solid cookie stick into a hollow tube and changing the sweet coating into a sweet filling. This flavor tried to be like Oreos, with a chocolate cookie and a vanilla cream filling.
I crunched in to find that the tube walls were thin but lacked the brittle crunch of Oreos. But the taste of the cookie and filling was a whole lot like Oreos and tasted quite good.
Shop: Buy cookies on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Kind of like Oreos.
From the package: "Creamy vanilla filled chocolate biscuit sticks" ... "Artificially Flavored"

I have been browsing this site, reddit, and the EA page for this game and have found multiple people with my exact problem.
The first time I got this computer, I ran the game and it played well. No issues whatsoever.
I tried running the game a few months ago and it didn't work. Strange, but maybe it was to do with the instability my computer had at the time.
With that fixed, I tried again. Same problem. Doesn't even show the EA logo. Cuts to black, stays for a few seconds, automatically closes.
Checked the integrity of the game files. "1 file missing. It will be reinstalled shortly"
Waited an hour. Tried again. Same issue.
Checked integrity of game files. Same error.
Uninstalled the game completely, reinstalled it, and launched it. Same issue. Just automatically closes.
Set to run as admin. Same issue Tested in compatibility mode, same issue. Tested at lower resolution, same issue. Tested the combination of the two, same issue. Disabled all background applications and restarted my PC, needed steam. Re-enabled steam. Back to same issue. Re-enabled a few other things that were said to be needed [such as nvidea], same issue.
I really, really want to play the game again.
Please help me.
Hi @RageMage117
Unfortunately, I can not help you in detail because I have no experience with Steam. Did you read this FAQ and tried the tips?
Sadly, yes I have gone through the tips and none of them have worked so far.
I've never had the creature creator to begin with as well so uninstalling that is not an option.
I have also tried deleting the graphics cache but that hasn't worked either.
Did you delete the temporary cache from the PC!

Holiday e.card a gem in Power Pioneers' charity efforts
|BC Hydro's holiday e.card is back, and it's designed to bring some cheer to you and — through donations — to the BC Children's Hospital. Click on the above image to view the card now.
Popular annual e.card raises money for the BC Children's Hospital
The holiday season can be busy, frantic and overwhelming. But it's also fun. That's what Lorilee Koltai likes to focus on.
Koltai works for BC Hydro's community investment team, and one of the things she does is coordinate the efforts of the Power Pioneers, a volunteer organization of some 5,000 people.
Power Pioneers live in all communities of the province. They are retirees and spouses going back to B.C. Electric and B.C. Power Commission, which became BC Hydro in 1961.
We're sitting in Koltai's cubicle in the BC Hydro building in downtown Vancouver and she's celebrating her 30th anniversary at the company with a piece of cake.
"Their motto is 'supporting our communities and each other'," says Lorilee.
Sitting beside Koltai, Nancy Ashurst nods in agreement. She's the provincial treasurer for the Power Pioneers and spends a couple of days a week looking at bank statements and spreadsheets. It's something she has fun doing.
It's not that the retired BC Hydro employee doesn't have other things to do. But Ashurst says that the results of the efforts of the Power Pioneers are very tangible.
The annual holiday card — including the just-released 2011 edition — a good example.
Setting a $1 million goal
Money raised by the holiday card goes towards the Miracle Million campaign, a pledge initiated by Power Pioneer members in 1990 to raise a million dollars for BC Children's Hospital within 27 years.
Koltai says the campaign has raised $695,000. Last year, when the economy had a rosier outlook, it looked like they might raise that million in advance of their 2017 target. Ashurst's not sure how the slowdown will affect progress in the next couple of years.
- See the 2011 BC Hydro holiday e.card and raise some cheer
But the card campaign, already popular, has taken off since it went digital.
The Power Pioneers have always sold boxes of seasonal cards as a fundraiser. They used to sell paper cards printed with artwork created by a member. When BC Hydro began emphasizing conservation and sustainability, the company asked the Power Pioneers if they'd consider an online project.

The first interactive e.card appeared in 2007. Visitors clicked on a coin at the top of the page that would turn on lights as it dropped down the animations in the page. Each time the card was viewed, BC Hydro made a donation on behalf of the Power Pioneers, up to a maximum of $25,000.
Children's hospitals from around the world were calling that year, wanting to know how the project had come about and wanting to replicate it in their community. "It was novel," says Koltai, "so that first year was very successful."
The 2008 card was another coin drop.
In 2009, visitors steered a rolling snowman down a hill through ski gates and collected pieces of the snowman along the way. The more complete the snowman at the end, the bigger the donation.
Last year, the card featured a sweater maze.
The cards have been so popular that at no point has BC Hydro failed to make the full donation.
BC Children's benefits the entire province
The hospital was an easy choice to benefit from the holiday card, says Koltai, because even though it is located in Vancouver, it serves the entire province. About half of the visits to the hospital are by patients who live outside the Lower Mainland.
Plus, everyone can connect and relate to kids in their lives, adds Ashurst. "Even if they don't have any of their own, like me."
And the Power Pioneers do more than just raise money for BC Children's. Members from around the province knit and crochet baby toques, slippers and blankets, and three aquariums have been donated to the facility and are maintained by volunteers.
Cheering for dollars
This year's card features a "cheer-o-meter." As visitors raise their cheer level by viewing a video and interacting with the card, a donation is made to the BC Children's Hospital.

The British Horseracing Authority has handed down punishments to a British jockey and a trainer's assistant for an incident involving a half a pound of lead two years ago.
According to their confessions, rider Robbie Dunne carried a half a pound less than he was supposed to in a novice handicap and the assistant, Barry Pearson's plan was to give Dunne the half-pound of lead before the race, but as The Guardian reports, there wasn't enough time.
So instead, Pearson gave Dunne the weight after the horse won the race and Dunne stuffed it in his pants before being weighed. A racegoer saw the exchanged and reported it.
"I can't believe I did this," Pearson told The Guardian. "I panicked."
Both men apologized. Dunne was given a 15-day suspension while Pearson was ruled off racecourses for a month.

So maybe you've been to a chiropractor, or seen a chiropractic adjusting video, where you're placed on your side and the doctor does a quick rotational adjustment into the lower back and pelvis -- and you get a nice loud CRACK or POP. You think 'If I could do something like this at home, that would be great!" Well, you're in luck. In this video, Dr. Rowe shows you how to self mobilize your pelvis with a very easy exercise. BONUS: this is also good for sacroiliac (SI) joints and uneven hips. Give it a try! NOTE: this is a general self mobilization technique ONLY.

Fabrication and characterization of nanocrystalline yttrium oxide thin films for electronic device applications
This thesis presents the optimization of growth conditions for fabricating nanocrystalline Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) thin films on silicon and optical grade, high quality quartz substrates in order to study its structural, optical and electrical properties for electronic device applications. Commercially Y2O3 has proven to be difficult to fabricate at high quality due to its high temperature growth requirements and the need to alter established fabrication methods for electronic devices. A high temperature requirement for high quality poses a problem for research and analysis. This calls upon for an optimization of the growth conditions to facilitate fabrication of thin films for study that does not require mass production level efficiency or material growth speed. The work in thesis research started out with basic parameters used in industry for growth conditions despite having varying deposition methods and equipment that were used in the existing literature. Reducing the chamber pressure while maintaining the argon to oxygen ratio improved the Y-oxide film quality; lower deposition pressures afford higher deposition rates of material onto the substrates. Once promising samples were obtained, the chamber pressures were lowered to the least possible values at which an ignited plasma was sustainable while still maintaining constant argon to oxygen ratio. The effect of processing conditions on the structure, optical and electrical properties demonstrated that the approach is viable and yielded fairly good quality Y2O3 thin films. The quality of the samples was evident from the observed high refractive index at high temperatures, good electrical properties and excellent stoichiometry. These samples proved that optimizations of growth conditions can be made such that high temperatures were not required to fabricate samples to study the properties of the material. It also showed promise for commercial level optimizations that may lead to lower demands of higher temperatures for mass production.

1970 saw a very successful mix of operas at the Festival. The Czechs from Prague's National Theatre, returning after the success of their 1964 visit, once more brought five productions. There was again a British premiere, The Excursions of Mr Brouček. The others were the popular Bartered Bride, Dalibor (repeated from 1964), and two works familiar in London, but new to Scotland - The Cunning Little Vixen and The Makropulos Case. or Affair as it was billed here. The two other Festival operas were also great rarities. Proceedings opened with the Frankfurt Opera, who brought their controversial staging of Prokofiev's Fiery Angel. The director and designer were the Czech pair responsible for Dalibor (and the 1964 Rusalka). Scottish Opera's excellent contribution was just as enterprising - Henze's acerbic Elegy for Young Lovers, directed by the composer himself.
The Festival's opera schedule was as follows:
First week, commencing 24 Aug: Mon Fiery Angel; Tue Elegy for Young Lovers; Wed Fiery Angel; Thu Elegy for Young Lovers; Fri -; Sat Elegy for Young Lovers.
Second week, commencing 31 Aug: Mon Bartered Bride; Tue Dalibor; Wed Cunning Little Vixen; Thu Makropulos Case; Fri Bartered Bride; Sat Excursions of Mr Brouček.
Third week, commencing 7 Sep: Mon Dalibor; Tue Makropulos Case; Wed Excursions of Mr Brouček; Thu Cunning Little Vixen; Fri Bartered Bride; Sat Dalibor.
Dalibor was still a great rarity in Britain in 1970, so it was quite justifiable that the Czechs should bring back a staging which had been very successful on that first visit.
The production team of Václav Kašlik and Josef Svoboda were seen as leaders in their field at the time, particularly because of their revolutionary use of lighting techniques. Though they did not produce any original work in Scotland, they did go on very soon to stage two productions at Covent Garden - a hugely successful Pelléas et Mélisande and a rather less appreciated Nabucco.

To ensure an uninterrupted supply of urea, the most commonly used fertiliser by farmers in India, the National Democratic Alliance government last week set up a committee led by Amitabh Kant, chief executive officer of Niti Aayog, to give recommendations on decontrolling urea imports.
Such a step will also prevent its sale in the black market and comes in the backdrop of growing farm distress in the country, given two successive years of below normal monsoon.
At present, three state run firms—State Trading Corporation of India (STC), Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation of India (MMTC) and Indian Potash Ltd (IPL)—are allowed to import urea. Moreover, these importing agencies are given instructions by the government for the quantum and timing of import.
"The ministry of finance, along with chief economic adviser Arvind Subramanian, is actively pursuing de-canalisation of urea imports and have held several rounds of meetings with officials from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and the fertiliser department," a government official requesting anonymity told VCCircle.
Another government official, who also didn't wanted to be identified, confirmed the development and said that other committee members include revenue secretary Shaktikanta Das and the chief economic adviser.
India imports urea mainly from China and Iran with total imports at 8.309 million tonne (MT) during the current financial year at an average price of $279.02 per tonne, lowest in the last five financial years. The de-canalisation or decontrolling of urea imports is being talked about at a time when urea prices have come down globally. Last year, urea prices were around $304 per tonne.
The Union budget presented last month focused on the rural economy with an emphasis on agriculture and a goal of doubling farmers' income in the next five years. Arguing for reforms in the fertiliser sector, the Economic Survey 2015-16 also pitched for de-canalising urea imports.
"The process would increase the number of importers and allow greater freedom in import decision and will allow fertiliser supply to respond flexibly and quickly to changes in demand," the survey had pointed out.
The committee will soon hold its first meeting and will look into various facets of decontrolling urea imports, said the first government official quoted above.
The Economic Survey also categorically said that the de-canalisation process would be timely as climatic fluctuations are making it much more difficult for governments to forecast agricultural conditions and centrally manage supply. "This would reduce the likelihood and severity of shortages, decrease black marketing and thereby benefit small farmers," it added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the Union budget 2016 also announced that direct benefit transfer of fertiliser subsidy will be soon undertaken on a pilot basis in selected districts across the country.
Analysts, however, believe that de-canalisation of urea has its own merits and demerits.
"While de-canalisation will level the playing field for the private players, it may not translate into subsidy savings for the government of India as the bargaining power of a fragmented importer base will be lower compared with the existing three canalising agents," said K. Ravichandran, senior vice-president and co-head, corporate ratings, Icra Ltd.
He added that as the farm gate price of urea continues to be way below import parity prices, any savings on imported urea prices, will directly benefit government finances in terms of lower subsidy outflow.
Queries emailed on 28 March to the ministry of chemicals and fertilisers, the ministry of finance, the PMO and Niti Aayog remained unanswered. STC, MMTC and IPL also did not respond to queries sent by VCCircle.
India's demand for urea in 2015 was 31 MT out of which around 8 MT was imported. According to the current practice of urea import, it generally takes 60-70 days to for urea to reach consumer centres once the fertiliser department decides to import.
"These delays can exacerbate shortages, and are particularly costly during the peak demand period when timely availability of urea is essential for proper plant growth and farmers are thus pushed to purchase in the black market," the Economic Survey noted.
The government made a provision of Rs73,000 crore on account of fertiliser subsidies in the Union budget of 2015-16. Nearly 70% of this amount was allocated to urea, accounting for the second largest subsidy after food.

We are 4 years into XXI century but digital music in the car is still nowhere closer.
So I got a new car. First thing I usually do to my new car is I upgrade stock audio system since I actually do most of the music listening while driving. Amp, speakers, subwoofer - those all all obvious improvements that any decent car audio shop is able to install quickly and well. This time, however, I decided I ought to have digital music in my car. After all, CDs are sooooo XX century. Here where all the fun (and disaster) begins. Here are my requirements for the player:
1. Storage 40 GB at least, 60GB is better, 80-100GB is ideal. My music collection exceeds 60GB and is all lossless. I am not looking forward to maintaining a separate collection for the car player. Therefore
2. Player should supports lossless format.
3. Integrates well with existing car stereo or is a dedicated head unit.
4. Line out is highly desirable. Optical out is better, but optional.
5. Is able to display titles in Russian.
There are few dedicated car players. Dension DMP3 only plays MP3. PhatNoise emulates CD changer and has no title display. I am wondering how people actually use it with large music collections. Playlists? I am too lazy to create them, sorry. Dension looks great, but only plays MP3. OmniFi does support WMA but no higher than 192 kbps. Interesting that none of two car audio shops I visited recommended any of the above system albeit they did have them in stock. Not a good sign.
Next there are portable players. I own 20GB iPod and watch carefully if Omar Shanine finds a good replacement. I purchased iPod simply because it was the only portable devices which supported lossless compression and was able to display Russian titles.
iPod Photo 60GB and PMC such as iRiver PMC-140 (40 GB) are top contenders. I am not sure that PMC-140 actually exists though. iRiver has PMP-140, but PMP != PMC. There is PMC-120 (20 GB). DMC XClef 500 (100 GB) is interesting, but it is as large as PMC and has no line out. Archos AV-480 looks promising too, but I am not sure about WMA lossless and Unicode support. I don't care about video but I don't mind large display in the car. However, so far it seems that only Portable Media Center units support WMA lossless as well as titles in Unicode.
iPod, especially 60GB unit seems to have an edge. Why is that almost all Portable Media Centers are 20 GB when 40 (and 60 GB) disks have been available for quite some time? Now, how to connect portable unit to the car stereo? iPod has a lead here b/c single connector makes things simple and install looks cleaner. Separate power and line cables don't look very nice. iPod cradles and car mounts are abundant.
There are interfaces that emulates CD changer and allow control of iPod via steering wheel controls. Dension IceLink and PAC Audio iPod2Car are two popular ones. Alpine CDA-983x head units have dedicated iPod interface. So I decided to try one.
Car audio shop (Magnolia HiFi) installed Alpine CDA-9831 and KCA-420i iPod interface. Unfortunately, I discovered quite a few flaws. Alpine interface disables iPod controls since it expects you to control iPod via head unit controls. This would be fine if head unit controls were as good as iPod controls. Unfortunately, head unit UI is very complicated and in search mode it scrolls about one title per second (imagine how long does it take to get to Yes albums). And obviously, head unit display only capable of English. That would be fine too if I was able to use iPod controls and screen to find my daughter's fairly tales. After a week I asked car shop to take the unit back which fortunately they did (and I got all my money back). I was told that Alpine was going to fix UI issues in 2005 units. We'll see. Meanwhile, I am back to square one.
Clarion announced that it will have iPod interfaces in their units by mid-2005. I'd like to have it in Clarion DRZ9255 which is my favorite player. Why? Because it does not have stupid flashy display, it has simple rotary volume control and NO sliding face panel, just a good old CD slot. Pioneer seems to be interested in iPod connection as well. At least when you register in order to get access to Pioneer product manuals, you are offered a list of e-mail updates and one of the topics is 'iPod interface'.
I hope someone is planning to make a good interface to Portable Media Center.
I am thinking about yet another [crazy] option which I will be blogging about in my next post :-).
