The Pakthryxl Proxy
Dragons Have Fallen Asleep!
Their vast hoards are ripe for the plundering. A world teeters on the brink. The gods have become mere pawns. Factions, alliances, and allegiances will be tested to the last. Nothing is ever black and white. Everything is gray… when you take a closer look.
Welcome to the Pakthryxl Proxy
There's a tragic legend concerning the existence of the gray dragons that time has nearly wiped away. It's known only by the wisest and most ancient of great wyrms. Although gray dragons are long forgotten, they're far from extinct. They have a plan, and all of Golarion will bend a knee unless they're stopped.
The crew of the Deep Sea Current works at an unhurried pace, even when facing such long odds. Hey, when your press-ganged by a god or two, why not savor the flavor? They come from every walk of life the world has to offer: A bitter wizard, chosen warrior, noble debtor, land lovin' merman, smiling assassin, and even a free-booting kobold. They too, have a plan. Plunder all booty, parley with every foe, and if time allows, stop the gray dragons!
The Pakthryxl Proxy is a campaign focused on taking the Pathfinder rules and setting to the absolute limit. Player characters are encouraged to indulge themselves like their life depends on it, because frankly it does! The adventure is going to sail past the late game, steam through the end game, and explore what's lies beyond…
- Mystery? A slow burn…
- Life or death action? Check!
- Dragons? Great Wyrms and up!
- Gods? Of course!
- Plane hopping? In hilarious ways…
- Outer space? Beam me up!
- Mythic ranks? Bring it on!
- In-depth role-playing? For the dinner sequences alone!

A piece of my heart beats outside my body. He wears size 5 youth shoes, a medium shirt, and size 8 pants. He loves Pokémon and Captain Underpants. He's obsessed with Legos and Star Wars and Marvel movies. He has a quick grin, a smart mouth, and hair that would give a chia pet a run in the craziest hair ever contest. He has blue eyes and brown hair. He's eight, almost nine, years old. He's sweet and frustrating and funny and smart. He's shy and brave. He's quirky, a little nerdy, and so full of life. He loves running, swimming, playing outside, and acting silly.
It's been a rough year for AJ, this year of 2nd grade. He's learned some hard lessons this year about friendship, making good choices, and responsibility. I've watched him, this piece of my heart, be bruised as he learns life lessons. It's taken all of my wherewithal to let him learn these lessons, not to be the helicopter parent, not to be the parent who fixes it instead of letting him learn, not to save him failure.
His 9th birthday looms, and he decided he wants to have a party where he invites his classmates. With it being a summer birthday, I know few are likely to come. And, I've done my all to prepare him for the fact that no one, or very few, may show up, and I've watched my precious boy gather his determination and find his bravery to go to school, to pass out those invitations, and to wait, to see if anyone texts or emails me that they will come. It's agony for me. I want nothing more than for everyone to see AJ the way I see him -smart, funny, silly, and kind.
He is impatient, he doesn't always follow the rules at school, and my fear, even though his teachers assure me it isn't true, is that he is "that" kid -the kid no one wants to be friends with because he's different, my super smart son. He goes to an academy for kids who are academically gifted, which AJ is. To me, AJ is the stereotypical gifted kid. He's afraid of failure, a perfectionist, who is easily frustrated. He almost never gets angry, but he's quick to impatience and prone to believe the worst in himself.
God help me, he's me.
His sister makes friends easily, knows how to navigate the social landscape. She's gregarious and outgoing. She's sure of herself. She's had almost three more years in this life to learn the lessons AJ is learning. I remember going through something similar with her when she was in 3rd grade. I know AJ will learn, and I hope he will become as gregarious and outgoing as his sister, but right now, he's unsure. He tells me he's not brave enough, but to me, he's more than enough, and I want, so much, for others to see it too.
Parenting, allowing pieces of your heart, to walk outside your body, knowing you cannot hide them behind bone and muscle, veins and tendons, is agony and joy, heartbreak and elation.
Yesterday, after school, AJ ran to me, gave me a huge hug, buried his face in my neck, and pulled away long enough to say, "I passed the invitations out Momma. Thank you for letting me." I kissed his forehead and gathered him tightly in my arms, savoring, knowing moments like these are fleeting, cancer or not. He's eight, almost nine. He won't be able to sit in my lap, bury his face in my neck, and be held tightly much longer. He won't want to sit in my lap, bury his face in my beck, and he held tightly much longer. These moments are precious. He is precious.
I have a son. A smart, silly, kind, smart little boy. Brave yet uncertain, learning lessons I wish were easier to learn, yet knowing these lessons have to be learned. I have a son. I love him with ferocity and wish I could protect him from everything, yet I know I can't. I have a son. No matter what happens to me, this piece of my heart makes our lives better, richer. I have a son, a piece of my heart living outside my body, walking this Earth.
He and his sister, they are the best parts of me.

Alright, so ice cream three of Ice Cream Week. At this point, after Pistachio Ice Cream and Almond Ice Cream, I can't really make a 100 percent guaranteed claim. I just can't, it doesn't make sense, and chances are that tomorrow I will find a new ice cream, a better ice cream, an ice cream I'm sure is eaten by the gods and the very, very fortunate.
But this Coconut Ice Cream, man. Today it is the best ice cream I have ever made. I promise—though obviously my promises about ice cream are fleeting. But I think, I'm almost entirely sure, that I cannot, that I am not capable of making a creamier, a more delicious, a more perfectly balanced ice cream. Sure, I'll try—I'm going to try tomorrow. But I have little hope because, you see, this ice cream is perfect.

It's impossible to pinpoint exactly why the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel wasn't jam packed with Crimson Tide fans when University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban arrived for his 2012 Media Days appearance. Perhaps it was the early arrival time. Saban was scheduled to start the third and final day of the conference's annual preview of the upcoming football season at 8:30 a.m.
HOOVER | It's impossible to pinpoint exactly why the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel wasn't jam-packed with Crimson Tide fans when University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban arrived for his 2012 SEC Media Days appearance.
Perhaps it was the early arrival time. Saban was scheduled to start the third and final day of the conference's annual preview of the upcoming football season at 8:30 a.m.
Or maybe fewer people were able to take off an entire day's work to catch a glimpse of the coach who led the Crimson Tide to its 14th national championship.
But there could be another reason, one that is in direct violation of "The Process" that Saban has espoused since his arrival and maintained Thursday before a banquet room full of reporters.
Could Alabama fans, once desperate for their team to be regarded as a perennial national championship contender, have grown comfortable with success?
"Yeah, I think so," said Lee Allen of Moulton shortly after Saban made his way around the edges of the sparsely filled lobby.
Allen, 22, was making a return trip to SEC Media Days simply because he loves Alabama football. He said he's made multiple trips to SEC Media Days and hasn't missed a game in five years.
He had another mission, too. He had replica helmets from the universities of Georgia and Mississippi, whose coaches were taking the podium after Saban, to get signatures for his parents' bosses.
But the real reason he drove two hours to stand in a Hoover hotel lobby was to get an up-close look at Saban.
"You see them on the field, but you don't really get to see them in person," he said.
Also on hand to get signatures for others was Birmingham resident Jarrell Smith.
Smith said he wasn't a fan of any SEC school — his allegiance is to the University of Southern California — but his father is a lifelong Crimson Tide fan, which explains why the 26-year-old was clutching a rolled-up Alabama banner that he'd sneaked out of his father's house in the hopes of getting Saban to sign it.
As the day went on, the crowd slowly grew until Saban made his return trip through the lobby shortly after 11 a.m. By then, the number of crimson-clad fans had swelled to a level that resembled the turnout of previous years.
Among those who did arrive early were Chris Hendrix, 54, and his 16-year-old son, Clark.
The two drove in from Carrollton, Ga., so Clark, who recently decided to pursue broadcasting as a career, could get a look at how professional broadcasters conduct themselves with players and coaches along Radio Row.
"I just think it's a really good experience," Clark Hendrix said moments after escorts sped Saban through the lobby. "And I figured they'd treat Saban about like the president — and they did."
But SEC Media Days isn't just about hanging out with friends and family in the hopes of getting an autograph. For some, it's about finding new friends.
Such was the case with Austin Malone of Huntsville, who befriended brothers Justin and Brandon Smith of Columbiana while they all waited in the hotel lobby.
The young men said their hope for the upcoming 2012 season was that the Crimson Tide find a way to secure national championship No. 15.
Malone, 15, said he wasn't worried about much as long as the team's leadership never changes.
"As long as Saban is coaching," Malone said, "we'll be good."

Somewhere in between having one set of in-laws visiting for the weekend and sewing three tote bags for my Craft Hope project the hubs and I managed to squeeze in THREE movies. Crazy stuff. We went to the theatre and saw This Means War with my hunny's mom and step-dad. It was cute. I'd watch it again. I've decided I'm not really a fan of Chelsea Handler but that's just because her style of comedy is a little raunchy for me. I wasn't just ecstatic with the end of the movie but I can't tell you why or else you'd know the end. I really like the review that Jay Forry gave it on his website www.blindsidereviews.com. If you've never heard of Jay, he's a blind movie critic and a super nifty guy. I have heard him several times doing interviews with the local radio station I listen to every day and I have to say I'm a fan. You should totally check him out.
We also watched our two Netflix for the week which were Super 8 and The American. Super 8 was pretty good but I'm not sure I'd watch it again. I definitely wouldn't buy it. I kept getting frustrated that we didn't get a good shot of the alien until the very end. The moral of the story is sound but still… I'm not sure I'd watch it again. It's a good movie for kids though… I'd say age 10 and up because of some of the language. The S-word makes a debut about 50 times throughout the movie. Our second Netflix movie was The American. It was definitely not what I expected. I was expecting a shoot-em-up-James-Bond-ish movie starring George Clooney and it's definitely not that. Clooney does some pretty good acting in it but I thought the movie was entirely predictable. I totally knew who the villain was. With its lack of action this is also definitely not the movie to start to watch at 9:30 at night because it's soooo slow you're nearly asleep by the end. Trust me, I was fighting my very heavy eyelids.
The next two movies up in our Netflix queue are Friends with Benefits and American Gangster. I have high hopes for Friends with Benefits and I'm not sure what to think of American Gangster. The hubs has a severe hatred for drug movies because he thinks any movie about them (drugs) entices people to try them (drugs). So, even if I like the movie I'm sure I'll be listening to the hubs huff and puff throughout the movie. We'll see.
Anyone see any good movies lately? I'm always on the search for a good movie, even though our Netflix queue has 456 movies in it currently (which'll take us about 4 years to get through).

I used to dream of an endless summer. Countless days spent by the pool, days uninterrupted by children's schedules and a general sense of all around laziness.
Summer would come to an end every year and I would dread the inevitability of it. During the cold dark days of February I would dream of our hot, humid sunshiny days of summer.
This year as summer was progressing this quote came to my mind frequently:
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived."

The Internet has been a boon to creative types, who can tap into an international audience as easily as Nike or Gap can. That audience may be relatively small, but sometimes, a little encouragement is all it takes to keep going.
While many local DIYers have signed onto Etsy.com to market their artwork and handmade creations, Allison Duran has tapped into the MySpace crowd to market shoes she hand-colors with permanent markers.
The 18-year-old started making shoes for herself as an eighth-grader and discovered people were drawn to her happy rainbow-colored images of candy, ice cream, hearts, smiling strawberries and cartoon animal characters.
"My first shoe was all about pink, yellow and strawberries," she said. "I did it because I couldn't find what I wanted in the stores.
"I would walk around and people would come up to me and give me compliments. I'd go into shoe stores and everyone would come to look at it."
She said she's received many requests for shoes from the United Kingdom but is hesitant to leap into international sales because of sizing issues.
Otherwise, custom designs are worked out on a sheet of paper and approved by the purchaser before being committed to a shoe's surface. There's no room for error because she pays for the shoes upfront and can't afford to absorb the cost of mistakes.
If there's something she can't draw, she'll direct individuals to sketches suited to her innocent, childlike style. Her work would appeal most to those seeking an alternative to slick, mass-marketed products, or simply something colorful to suit their personality.
"I like making people happy," she said. "That's why I like making the shoes, because everyone wants to have their own pair of shoes that matches them."
"I don't like it when people complain," she said. "Like, at Jamba Juice, they'll say, 'I don't like the way you make your smoothies.' I think, 'Then why don't you try to make something better?'"
As for her long-term goals, she's torn between designing shoes and helping people via the hospitality industry. Her immediate aim is to find work at Disneyland. Whether she ends up working in the theme park, as a designer or animator, it just makes sense that she would be at home in the place that bills itself as "the happiest place on Earth."

Vision Statement
Gateway Praise and Worship Team exists to create an atmosphere for the manifested presence of God through prophetic voices, sound, and a corporate anointing so that the Body of Christ can grow a deeper, higher, and stronger relationship with God and the Kingdom of God can be established in worship and in praise.
Mission Statement
At Gateway, our praise and worship team strives for excellence by practicing and developing our vocal, instrumental and songwriting abilities; however, this is secondary to the anointing. More than anything, we value the presence of God and the corporate anointing during our worship experience.
The worship experience at Gateway can best be described as passionate, prophetic and relevant. An atmosphere where the presence of God is welcomed and nurtured through our individual relationship with God, producing sounds and songs that come from the depth of God's presence and a desire to lead God's people into that atmosphere.

Hello Friends:
I am taking a brief lunch break for a few moments while I grade exams. I have two courses complete and am trying to finish the advanced physiology multi-page essay exam. As is my normal practice, I have left my office and have holed up in a distant corner of my back laboratory so that the students who are milling about will not be able to find me (or at least I will not hear them as the front lab door is locked). I do not do this to be "mean" or "frustrating" to them. I simply need quiet and focus to grade these essays fairly and consistently. If I sat in my office, I would have students knocking on my door every 5 to 10 minutes... each student just stopping by to ask if grades were posted yet.
So, instead of being very slow at grading and frustrated at the pace of my progress, I make it seem as if I am not around.... so that I *can* do my work. My office is dark, as is my front lab. I do not have the lights on in the back lab either, for I am simply content with natural light coming in through the window. In front of me are the 25 multi-page cumulative essay exam, to the left of me are two of my pipes, my tobacco pouch, lighter, and a small bowl to knock ashes into. To my right is my lab's coffee pot with a pot of triple strength coffee, a beaker filled with ice, a bottle of Wild Turkey, and my coffee mug. When the mood strikes, I fill the mug with ice and pour strong coffee over the ice and add a few gurgles of Wild Turkey. As I mull over each question, and the wide range of student responses, I sip gently from the mug and draw in rich plumes of beautifully dense smoke from my pipe. They both help me to clarify the students writings and assist me in the grading consistency I strive for.
Not a bad way to spend a work day.

Siemens is presenting a new concept for high-speed trains at the InnoTrans 2018, the world's biggest trade fair for rail technology. The Velaro Novo sets new standards for efficiency and sustainability and at the same time offers the highest passenger comfort and convenience. Siemens has developed the new high-speed platform for service from 250 up to 360 km/h throughout the world.
"The Velaro Novo is our answer to global demands in high-speed transport. The new train writes a new chapter in the Velaro's success story and enables operators to offer improved passenger comfort and economy over the train's entire lifecycle. What we are presenting today is the result of five years of development: a platform offering uniquely optimized energy consumption and maintenance costs, as well as maximum flexibility and reliability," says Sabrina Soussan, CEO of the Mobility Division at Siemens.
Running at 300 km/h, the new high-speed train uses 30 percent less energy than previous Velaro models, which translates to average savings of 1,375 tons of CO2 a year. Thanks to its lightweight construction, the train's weight was reduced by 15 percent. At the same time, available space for passengers was increased by ten percent. The car body is based on the empty tube concept, meaning that there are no permanent installations inside the car and the interior can be furnished according to customer wishes. Configuration options like this make the Velaro Novo future-proof and flexible, and the trains can be adapted to an operator's new needs even after years in operation. Maintenance costs are reduced thanks to the integration of state-of-the-art measurement and sensor technology.
Siemens has been testing parts of the new high-speed train since April 2018. The Novo test car, integrated into the ICE S operated by DB Systemtechnik, is currently undergoing test runs throughout Germany.
Siemens previously developed four generations of the Velaro. The trains have been in service since 2000 and are currently operating in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, France, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Turkey. The Velaro fleet covers over one million kilometers a day. In Germany, the Velaro is known as the ICE 3 (series 407), operated by Deutsche Bahn AG.
Siemens began with the development of the new Velaro Novo concept in 2013 and can place the first trains in service as of 2023. Siemens is premiering the new concept to an international trade fair public at the InnoTrans 2018 as part of a digital staging.

Release Date: 02/22/2016
Kent Hospital recently presented Kristen Frias, RN, of the Psychiatric Care Unit, (PCU), as the January 2016, DAISY Award recipient. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's program to recognize the above-and-beyond efforts performed by nurses every day.
Kristen was nominated by a patient who wrote, "Kristen goes the extra mile for her patients and their families, she stands above the rest. Kristen's professionalism is an understatement- she strives for perfection and it shows. I am very happy to have had a nurse like Kristen."
"It is a pleasure to recognize Kristen for all of her hard work and dedication to her patients and Kent Hospital," said Rebecca Burke, RN, MS, NEA-BC, sr. vice president patient care services, chief nursing officer at Kent Hospital. "In Kristen's nomination you can feel the appreciation of the patient as they explain how they were comforted to have Kristen as their nurse. We strive for the best patient care here at Kent Hospital and Kristen demonstrated that. Thank you Kristen."
The not-for-profit DAISY Foundation is based in Glen Ellen, CA, and was established by family members in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
If you would like to nominate an extraordinary nurse that you encountered at Kent Hospital, you can submit an online application or in person. Fellow providers and patients may also nominate a nurse for the award.
About Kent Hospital

I have a long to do list today, but I spent all morning looking for places to visit in Amalfi when we're going there in August. My oldest friend Ted is getting married to his Cibella. Well, they're technically already married with the cutest one year old on the planet, but this August is when we're finally gathering to celebrate them etc.
As usual Saif and I booked our flights and hotel very last minute – one month before departure is our average. Really need to work on that…I'm pretty sure we could go on twice as many holidays per year if we just got better at planning our traveling well in advance. This trip is also a bit of a stretch – but well worth it, I assume.
We'll flying from Mumbai to London for two days for a couple of meetings with potential new clients, then from London to Milan. I'm definitely picking up some on-the-go sandwiches from one of our favourite places – Bar Luce, Pave or Pasticceria Marchesi are the best in Milan!
From Milan we are taking the train straight to Naples, which is about 4.5 hours. We could fly too, but both Saif and I prefer train over flying any day. We can get some work done on the way, and its usually more comfortable. From Naples we'll be taking a car or train to Amalfi.
We've booked a one bedroom Airbnb on the cliff of Amalfi, right next to the hotel where the wedding will be. Everything nice in Amalfi in August (with one month notice…) was around 800 Euros a night (!), and we're paying around 180 Euros per night for this apartment. It looks super cute in the photos – fingers crossed that it is in reality too. We've gotten pretty good with our Airbnb game though. Saif has become an expert, and he's obsessed with his Airbnb ranking and making sure its as good as a five star comes! Every time we leave an Airbnb he takes out the trash, cleans up the place and makes the bed, haha.
We have 5 nights in Amalfi before we return for one night in Milan on the way back to Mumbai. I've never been to Amalfi, and I'm so excited to go! I want to go Amarone wine tasting, have incredible local pasta, and homemade Italian everything. I want to swim in the clearest of blue waters, have a glass of chilled wine and watch the sunset, party with our friends until early morning, and wear breezy dresses to escape the Italian summer heat. Have I lost it? I think I have. It'll be my first official summer holiday in like…ten years, aside from Sweden. Otherwise, we always travel in the spring, fall and winter.
Lovebugs, please send me all your Amalfi recommendations! X

Etihad Airways has further developed its relationship with Air France-KLM, with the announcement that the UAE flag carrier will lease an Air France Airbus A340-300 for use on the Paris-Abu Dhabi route from May 15 to November 30. Under the arrangement, Air France will run the 272 seat aircraft as one of Etihad Airways' 2 daily Paris-Abu Dhabi return services.
Last October, Etihad Airways and Air France-KLM forged a tactical collaboration which allowed the 2 airline groups to work together to create value for each airline.
The agreement extended the UAE flag carrier's European network with code-share services beyond Paris to Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Madrid, Nice and Toulouse, and saw Air France place its AF flight code on Etihad Airways operated flights between Paris Charles de Gaulle and Abu Dhabi, and to cities further afield. The agreement also played a crucial role in Etihad Airways revealing direct Amsterdam-Abu Dhabi services effective May 15, in addition to KLM boosting its direct Amsterdam-Abu Dhabi services to daily from summer 2013.
Kevin Knight, Chief Strategy and Planning Officer at Etihad Airways, said: "This agreement to wet-lease an Air France A340-300 aircraft demonstrates the mutual benefits generated by our close relationship with Air France-KLM. On the back of recent announcements, this latest cooperation deal is good for both carriers in terms of better optimising our fleets for the rest of 2013.
"The temporary wet-leased EY37 and EY38 return service will also see Etihad Airways cabin crew on board, working alongside Air France attendants to provide our guests with an inspired travelling experience that the world's leading airline is best known for."
Car Hire Assistant provide a price comparison service for car rentals in 175 countries, utilising 800 suppliers, supported by 30,000 rental locations. The service is free to use and nothing is added to the rental price.

CNY PCA Articles & News
Vintage Weekend at Watkins Glen
Once again the Vintage Weekend at Watkins Glen showcased the full variety of Central New York weather!
Friday was in to the 90's. Downtown Watkins Glen was full for amazing cars and lots of people. later in the afternoon the race cars came down from the racetrack to drive around the original street course.
Saturday offered the other extreme – it was colder and threatening rain for most of the day. Finally it started raining late in the afternoon. That did not prevent the racers from racing!
On Sunday the weather was absolutely perfect. temps in the 70s and bright sunshine. The racers continued to put on a good show.
For both Saturday and Sunday the CNY and the Niagara region clubs put on a hospitality lunch for the club members at the bus stop. Chris and Cathie White, Ed and Lin Hurd, and Brian Daily from CNY and Rich DeAsis and Kevin and Lynn from Niagara camped out at the end of the bus stop at a group of camp sites that I reserved back in January. This allowed us to set up a nice space for entertaining members of both clubs. Bill Konke bought his scaffolding for our own 'grandstand' for a great view of the bus stop. http://celebrexonline-pharmacy.com/ At Sunday's lunch
we held a tag team tech quiz. Myself, Rich DeAsis and Brian Daily took turns asking tech quiz questions to the group. The quiz took on a CNY vs Niagara competitive turn – we kept track of the people with the correct answers and in the end it was a resounding CNY victory! The questions ranged from very difficult to very humorous.
Sunday afternoon was full of extra treats that seem to happen on a regular basis viagra7-pharmacycanada.com at our camping area. The Pecks brought over Bobby Allison to meet and greet our group. Pictures and autographs for everybody! That visit was followed by a fly by in a seaplane piloted by Cam from Niagara. He was at our camp site in the morning and said he would fly over later and wave. Just when we settling back down (zoloft) Scott Welliver dropped by to see what we were up to. Scott is both a racer (see clomid dosage the Gulf Cayman picture) and the sponsor for the entire race weekend. After that the remaining club members just relaxed for the rest of the day!

Shopping Tips
Who doesn't want to get the best deal for their money There's no shortage of sale ads from merchants who want your business: they're using preferred customer specials, early bird sales, midnight madness events, coupon savings days, and pre- AND post-holiday sales. Just how do you decide if their deals are real? Here are some tips to help you get the most for your money.
Shop around
A "sale" price isn't always the "best" price. Some merchants may offer a sale price on an item for a limited time; others may discount the price on the same item everyday. Having an item's manufacturer, model number, and other identifying information can help you get the best price for the item you want.
Read sale ads carefully
Some may say "quantities limited" or "not available at all stores." Before you step out the door, call ahead to make sure the merchant has the item in stock. If you're shopping for a popular or hard-to-find item, ask the merchant if he'd be willing to hold the item until you can get to the store.
Take time and travel costs into consideration
If an item is on sale, but it's way across town, how much are you really saving once you factor in your time, your transportation and parking?
Look for price-matching policies
Some merchants will match, or even beat, a competitor's prices — at least for a limited time. Read the merchant's pricing policy. It may not apply to all items.
Check prices online
Check out websites that compare prices for items offered online. Some sites also may compare prices offered at stores in your area. If you decide to buy online, keep shipping costs and delivery time in mind.
Calculate bargain offers that are based on purchases of additional merchandise
For example "buy one, get one free", "free gift with purchase" or "free shipping with minimum purchase" may sound enticing. If you don't really want or need the item, it's not a deal.
Ask about sale adjustments
If you buy an item at regular price and it goes on sale the next week, can you get a credit or refund for the discounted amount? What documentation will you need?
Check out the terms of the deal, like refund policies and delivery dates
Can you return the item for a full refund if you're not satisfied? If you return it, who pays the shipping costs or restocking fees and when you will get your order? Many sites offer tracking options, so you can see exactly where your purchase is and estimate when you'll get it.
Keep Records
Print or save records of your online transactions, including the product description and price, the online receipt and the emails you send and receive from the seller. Read your credit card statements as you receive them; be on the lookout for charges that you don't recognize.
Don't email any financial information
Email is not a secure method of transmitting financial information like your credit card or checking account. If you begin a transaction and need to give your financial information through an organization's website, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a URL that begins https (the "s" stands for secure). Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof; some fraudulent sites have forged security icons.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry is Oreo's Newest Flavor
Oreos never get old, especially when they're reinvented in so many incredible, yet totally simplistic ways. The newest flavor devised by the snack-geniuses at Nabisco is Chocolate-Covered Strawberry -- you know, that fruit-confection that sounds weird until you actually try it -- and it's already hitting select store shelves.
According to Junk Banter, the site that reports on all manner of things from the junk-food universe, Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Oreos will feature exactly what you'd expect: Two chocolate cookie wafers with chocolate frosting in the middle, all tied together by a tasteful smidgen of strawberry creme. We imagine you could waste a lot of time devouring box after box of these bad-boys.
Oreo likes to experiment, and we've seen no shortage of fun cookies this year: There's been Swedish Fish Oreos, Apple Pie Oreos, Hot CoCoa Oreos and even Oreo Cookie Vodka shots. The company also upped the ante by devising a straight-up sinful item with a German chocolate candy bar.
Just in case you're searching for these cookies all over your local supermarket to no avail, the hedonists at Delish already taste-tested them, noting a powerful after-taste. Then, if you're still in a fit of Oreo-euphoria, peruse our definitive rankings of every Oreo in existence. You'll probably feel like snacking afterward.

Peter Schweizer: The Clintons 'Function as a Kind of Political Mafia'
by John Hayward | March 30, 2016
"If you think about it, the Clintons are like lots of other politicians. They love money," Schweizer agreed. "They love taking peoples' money, and I would say with the Clintons, you kind of have it on steroids."
"But you have this pesky problem in the United States: you can't take foreign money for a presidential campaign," he continued. "It's against the law. You can't be a foreign corporation and set up a Super PAC for a campaign… You've got these rules in the United States that say foreign entities can't give. So the Clintons say, 'Hey, we've just got to figure out a way around that.'"
A key part of the Clinton system is the infamous speeches given by Bill and Hillary to foreign interests and corporations seeking favor with the U.S. government, raking in fantastically inflated speaking fees.
"It's a way, effectively, to get around those campaign laws," Schweizer explained. "Hillary Clinton running for President in 2008, if you're a foreign oligarch, you can't give to her campaign, but you can have Bill Clinton give a 20-minute speech for half a million dollars, or you can make a $5 million donation to the Clinton Foundation, and you've got access every bit as much as if you had raised money for their political campaign. That's really what the Clintons have done."
"The Clintons function as kind of a political Mafia," he said, recalling how reporters from major mainstream media outlets told him the consequences of writing a harsh story about the Bushes usually boiled down to "a terse email" complaining about unfair reporting, while reporters who write stories critical of the Clintons are liable to find teams of Clinton political operatives storming into the editor's office and demanding they be fired.

Overall rating 8
Overall Guide : Excellent city to visit. Obviously there are areas, that at certain times, you should not visit (but you could say that of every city in the entire world), but overall I felt very safe. Public transport is very usable, and... more taxis are relatively cheap. Take in a Tango Show - well worth the cost. Some hotels are grossly overpriced, but lots of smaller, cheaper hotels which are very good indeed.
Not to be missed A Tango Show , San Telmo , Calle Florida
Overall rating 10
Overall Guide : Beautiful city, very easy to get around by public transport, which links with the "porteña" suburb. Mind your handbags and wallets on both buses and on the subway. People are lovely, they are all very helpful when you ask for... more directions or are trying to find a pub.
Overall rating 8
Overall Guide : Try and get some sort of guide, at recoletta cementry, it makes it so much more interesting. Start the walk to st telmo sunday market, on the plazo de mayo side of defense ave. Exchange rate commissions, vary dramatically to shop... more around
Not to be missed parilla , Recoleta Cemetery , San Telmo
Overall rating 8
Overall Guide : Beautiful city with friendly people who are always willing to help. Such a variety of things to do, the Arts are incredibly cheap, the opera only costs about US$10. There are really good museums. Generally the city's architecture is beautiful... more with a wide variety of styles. It is little wonder the residents are proud of the city and justifiably so!
Not to be missed Avineda Florida , Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Museum , the opera
Overall rating 8
Overall Guide : 3/4 days can be more than enough to get to know it thoroughly... if you're a fan of tango you can have it every day! Not too dangerous, but you should keep your head down at night and travel by... more taxi. Avoid the subway during rush hour.
Overall rating 10
Overall Guide : Excellent place for visit. Good food, nice people, beatifull city. Buenos Aires is one on the most popular city that you never leave know. Please, This will be the best place!!

Imagine riding your bike to your local card shop with your monthly allowence of $10. You go in, sweaty & tired and buy as many packs of '89 Upper Deck as you can with hopes of pulling a Jose Canseco or Ken Griffey Jr. Instead, you leave the store with a bunch of commons and two different Walt Weiss cards to add to your shrine of close to 30 others.
Let's move forward to 1996 and it's payday, your first ever as a 16-year old. You not only have to put up with coming in at 4 A.M at the local Offerdahl's bagel shop, but every Saturday, a pissed-off, angry, and very cheap Dan Marino comes in with his spoiled demon spawn only to demand free bagels from the store. It doesn't matter, though because when the day is over and your ride shows up you will be heading towards the nicest but most expensive card shop in South Florida. When you arrive at the card shop you buy yourself a box of the high-end Topps Finest. This is it. With the cards you pull today you can trade for 50 different Jose Canseco cards. Instead, you walk away with no-name players and 2 Walt Weiss refractors. This is called Walt Weiss Syndrome.
Look, I have nothing against Walt Weiss. His biggest dilemma is coming into an organization after Jose Canseco ('85) and Mark McGwire ('86). Unless you are an 8 foot ogre with the ability to hit 95 home runs and steal 100 bases…you were pretty much screwed. It didn't help that Weiss looked like a midget next two the two Juiced-up Bay heroes and hit with as much force as Mike Gallego twin brother, Ike.
Today, Walt Weiss Syndrome is still in full effect for those who bust cases, boxes, and packs of baseball cards. Yes, the player has changed but the sickness hasn't. Just take a minute and look through your cards, preferably game-used relics and autographs. Do you have just one too many Carlos Quentin's or Michael Bourne? How about that hot prospect who has an official Rookie Card trophy from the years 2002 to 2008? It is a sickness that you will no doubt hit upon sooner or later.There is no such thing as Joba Chamberlain Syndrome. No one has ever gone through Alex Rodriguez 1/1 dual patch auto Syndrome. It only occurs with a few, select players. Walt Weiss is long gone and despite his non-Hall of Fame career stats, at least he isn't wearing make-up and lingerie or crying in front of Congress. I guess Walt Weiss wasn't so bad after all.

Roosevelt Island Tram Station Elevator Problems Addressed By RIOC President Indelicato At Board Of Directors Meeting Yesterday - RFP For New Elevator Issued By April 17
Image Of Broken Roosevelt Island Manhattan Tram Station Elevators
Reported April 7 that:
... Roosevelt Island Parents' Network Susy del Campo Perea and Roosevelt Island Disabled Association President Jim Bates sent this April 4 letter to RIOC President Charlene Indelicato expressing frustration and concern over the status of the broken Tram Station elevator. According to Ms. Perea and Mr. Bates:The full letter is here.
We reached out to RIOC in January 2013 and have been doing so regularly since. We have provided you with many ideas and suggestions to have an appropriately functioning Tram station for us, the disabled, the seniors and the parents of Roosevelt Island, who rely on elevator service when traveling by the Tram.
This winter, both the primary and back-up elevator (elevator and red lift) were out of service frequently and often simultaneously. The Island's population of families has swelled in recent years making a working elevator more imperative than ever. When only the red lift is functioning, Tram employees often do not assist 'mobility reduced' persons, such as parents with strollers, disabled people, and senior citizens by operating the lift. Moreover, there is no-one opening the gate to get to the pre-loading area. Additionally, there are no heaters outside the gate on the Island side....
During April 10 meeting of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Board Of Directors (full video web cast here), RIOC President Charlene Indelicato addressed the issue of the Tram Station elevators and responded to the letter from Ms. Perea and Mr. Bates.
Ms. Indelicato acknowledged the "Agita" caused by the problems with the Tram Elevator and reported again that new Tram elevators are on the way with the Design and Build Request For Proposal (RFP) to be issued by April 17. Ms. Indelicato previously said that it would take about a year from the date of the RFP issuance for the elevators to be installed and ready for use.
Ms Indelicato indicated that the new elevators will require permission from NYC for a larger space footprint at the Tram Plaza and expressed the hope that Roosevelt Island's NYC Council Member Ben Kallos can assist in securing the necessary approvals.
Ms. Indelicato also said that:
- due to union contract with tram workers, public safety officers cannot open Tram Station entrance doorway and
- RIOC cannot provide car service for those who cannot get down the stairs when Tram elevators are out. It is too expensive.

I hope that everyone had a relaxing holiday filled with good cheer and joy spent with friends and family. May the New Year bring you good health, happiness, and an inbox void of any correspondence from the Department of Labor!
It has been ten years since the 2000 census data was released. We have been preparing our Affirmative Action Plans (AAPs) using old data, expecting to see significant changes in the minority and female workforce representation when the 2010 data was released. So now the data is available and we are waiting to find out from the OFCCP when we have to apply the new data in our availability analyses when updating our AAPs. Obviously, there is nothing stopping you from using the most up-to-date EEO data now; however, the OFCCP typically gives contractors 12 months to implement the changes. Continue reading to find out the implications of the new data on your plans. Comparison tables have been created to evaluate the 2000 to 2010 data based on different locations and occupations.
Before delving into the data comparisons, it is important to prepare for implementing the new American Community Survey (ACS) and to know what data is available. The Equal Employment Opportunity Tabulation has been generated from the yearly ACS rather than the decennial census. This data is based on the five-year period estimate rather than a point-in-time estimate. Data was collected continuously from independent monthly samples over 60 months from January 2006 to December 2010. The complete EEO Tabulation was released late December 2012. The Disabilities Employment Tabulation (based on data from 2008 – 2010) will be released in the spring 2013.
Differences between the 2000 and 2010 census data
- Two new variables are available – citizenship (U.S. citizen or not a U.S. citizen) and unemployment (currently employed, currently unemployed and worked in the last year; or currently unemployed and last worked one to five years ago).
- Change in levels of geography – includes estimates and percentage of the labor force for all counties and places with 50,000 or more people.
- National
- All States, DC, and Puerto Rico
- Change from Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) or Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSA) to Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA). A CBSA can be either Metropolitan or Micropolitan areas.
- Counties and EEO county sets.
- Places (within States appear to be mostly cities, towns, and municipalities).
- Provides statistics by location-based geography – residence, worksite, worksite or commuting flow.
- Tables may include citizenship, educational attainment, industry, age, earnings, and unemployment status.
- 488 census occupation codes based on 2010 Standard Occupational Classification. The codes and crosswalks are available at http://www.census.gov/people/io/.
- The 2010 EEO Tabulation is available at http://factfinder2.census.gov/.
Similarities between the 2000 and 2010 census data
- Both produce estimates on characteristics from a sample of the population.
- Race and ethnicity information are the same.
- Two or more races include White and Black (Black or African American), White and American Indian Alaskan Native (AIAN), White and Asian, Black and AIAN, and balance of Not Hispanic or Latino.
- For Hawaii only – Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) and White, NHPI and Asian, and NHPI and Asian and White.
- Most occupation codes are similar, but some codes have changed. A zero has been added to most of the 2000 census codes.
Charts 1 and 2 below show the difference between the 2000 and 2010 census data in large metropolitan areas for two positions: one professional and one administrative support. Using the same occupations, Charts 3 and 4 display the difference between the census data by counties in more remote areas. Chart 5 compares the minority and female representation in management occupations in the United States. All locations and occupations were randomly selected.
Observations by Metropolitan Areas
Two positions, Computer Software Engineers and Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, were selected for comparison because one is a professional and one is an administrative support occupation. In the larger metropolitan areas identified below, the minority representation increased from 2000 to 2010 in both occupations, but female representation decreased in all locations for Computer Software Engineers and in all locations for Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, except for San Francisco.
- For the Computer Software Engineer (Software Developers, Applications and Systems Software in 2010) occupations, the increase in minority representation ranged from 22.6% to 56.4%. The decrease in female representation in each of the four metropolitan areas was minor with decreases of less than 10% in all locations, except for 19.7% in Orlando, FL.
- Similar minority and female representation changes occurred for the Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, with uneven growth in minority representation, ranging from a low of 5.6% in Chicago, IL to a high of 39.9% in Orlando, FL. There were insignificant decreases of less than 1% in female representation in all locations, except for San Francisco with an increase in representation by 3.1%.

Occupation Category – Secretaries and Administrative Assistants (570 – 2000) – (5700 – 2010)
Observations by Counties
In the smaller counties identified below, the minority and female representation in the Computer Software Engineer and Secretaries and Administrative Assistants positions showed no consistent growth patterns.
- In the four counties, minority representation increased for Computer Software Engineers in all locations except for Clay County, MN. Female representation increased slightly (less than 5.9%) in two counties and decreased in two, by 24.8% and 100%.
- In 2000, in Clay County, MN, there were 85 computer software engineers, including nine minorities and 39 females; however, in 2010, there were only four and none of which were minority or female. I can only assume that the company that employed these technical professionals had a significant reduction in business or project work in this area.
- For Secretaries and Administrative Assistants in the identified counties, there was an equal mix of growth and drop in minority and female representation. As was evident for Computer Software Engineers, there was a corresponding decrease (33.8%) in minority representation in Clay County, MN. The minority progress in IN and NM were minor with increases of less than 10%. Albeit high in the first place, female representation increased by less than 5% in NY and MN, decreased slightly in IN, and remained the same in NM.

Occupation Category – Secretaries and Administrative Assistants (570 – 2000) – (5700 – 2010)
Observations by U.S. Totals for Management positions
In each of the identified management occupations, the minority representation increased; however, not significantly. Eight of the 10 management occupations had an increase in female representation ranging from a low of 1.5% to a high of 22.7%.
- For minorities, the largest increase in representation occurred in the Computer and Information Systems Managers (47.2%) and Financial Managers (37.9%) occupations, followed by Construction Managers (35.3%). The smallest increase in minority representation occurred in the Human Resource Managers (11.6%) occupations.
- Female representation decreased in the Administrative Services Managers (13.6%) and Miscellaneous Managers (28.7%) occupations. The largest increase in representation occurred in the Architectural and Engineering Managers (22.7%), Chief Executive and Legislators (18.1%), and General and Operations Managers (11.0%) positions. The smallest increase in female representation occurred in the Computer and Information Systems Managers (0.7%), Financial Managers (1.5%), and Marketing Managers (2.8%) occupations.
Chart 5 – 2010 EEO Tabulation Table Set 1 – EEO-ALL01R (by Residence) Counties compared to Census 2000 EEO Residence Data Results
Miscellaneous Management Occupations
Overview and Impact on Affirmative Action planning
Minority and female representation in the larger geographic locations, metropolitan areas and U.S., displayed the largest growth in minority and female representation. Across all locations, increases in minority representation were greater than that for females. The smaller counties exposed inconsistent growth and even pockets of depressed markets.
I think that everyone assumed that the minority representation in all locations would have increased significantly since 2000. However, as the small sampling of occupations and locations above indicates, that is not the case. Fears of the census data leading to new goals across all job groups may not be realistic. Companies that have had a lack of success in goal attainment may actually find an explanation for the lack of qualified minority and/or female candidates based on the 2010 statistics.
