Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeve $29.95
A sleeve that keeps your arm cool and free from dangerous sunburn.
When we were kids we relished getting the darkest, starkest-looking tan line on our arms; it made us feel that much closer to our pro idols and set us apart from our football - or soccer-playing mates. Now, with our adult knowledge of the damage the sun's rays can do to our skin, we recognize the need for some sorts of protection. The Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves not only offer UPF 40-rated protection, but they actually keep us cooler in the hot sun than we would be riding with bare arms.
That's because they are made from the Elite Transfer fabric with In-R-Cool technology, which work together to manage moisture as you perspire and provide optimal skin cooling. The In-R-Cool technology used here is the very same used in Pearl Izumi's most advanced jerseys and works to wick rapidly and keep the surface temperature of the fabric down by reflecting the sun's UV rays. Add to this the sun protection that the Sun Sleeves provide, and you will be able to ride all day without having to worry about overheating or caring for sunburned arms in the evening.
Designed to fit like a second skin, the stretchy Sun Sleevesinclude the Direct-Vent mesh on the underside of the arms to help with ventilation, something you will be very happy about on a hot day around 3 o'clock. And if you happen to be out riding as the sun is setting, Pearl Izumi has added reflective elements to help keep you safe.
The Pearl Izumi Sun Sleeves come in White and are available in sizes Small, Medium and Large.
- Hydrophilic Elite Transfer fabric breathes, dries quickly, and wicks moisture efficiently to cool your skin through evaporation
- In-R-Cool technology reflects the sun's rays to lower surface temperatures on the fabric and offer UPF 40+ protection during long rides under clear skies
- Mesh on the inner arm dumps excess heat and moisture quickly as you ride
- Reflective details enhance your visibility to drivers during early morning or evening rides
- Black colorway (depending on inventory) more effectively reflects UV radiation to prevent sun burn
- White colorway (depending on inventory) doesn't absorb as much heat to keep you cooler during longer rides

Very cool in hot sun

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Pleasantly surprised by how cool they feel in the hot Florida sun compared to a long sleeve bike shirt. Easy to put on and off. Feel a little tight on upper arm but that's better than loose and sliding down.
Member since
heard about these so decided to try some as the price is reasonable. Wow. An odd sensation at first as it feels almost like they are cooling your arms more than being bare. But they work well and there's no more fumbling with sunscreen and becoming human fly paper on long rides. I have several pairs.
Slight preference for the black as the whites get very grimy quickly. And if you are super hot, you can wet them with water and it helps a great deal.
Combined with a castelli mesh based I can go out in 10 degrees more heat than before.
Keeps cool

This publication presents the results of an analysis on the economic impact and the potential of five of goods and services provisioned by conservation units for the Brazilian economy and society: forest products, public use, carbon, water and sharing of tax revenue.Resource Type: Tools / Applications
Datasets Available from UNEP-WCMC: Excluding WDPA
Access to UNEP-WCMC datasets is provided on the understanding that you read and consent to be bound by the Terms and Conditions attached. For the purposes of this Agreement the "Data" comprise any of the spatial data and associated attribute data downloadable from the UNEP-WCMC website, excluding the World Database on Protected Areas.
This dataset was created show the original habitat types as they were before man's influence in the Indo-Malayan realm; change over time can be seen when used alongside the remaining natural habitats dataset. These datasets were produced alongside the publication "Protected Areas Systems Review of the Indo-Malayan Realm, Mackinnon, J. ed. 1997" in collaboration with The Asian Bureau for Conservation (ABC). This was produced to document the growth and changing character of the protected areas systems of the region over the ten year period 1986-1996. This was in the hope of aiding conservationists and development practioners to conserve Asia's rich biological resources upon which so many depend.Resource Type: Spatial Data / Maps
The forests of eastern Tanzania are a globally important biodiversity hotspot. In this study 361 eastern Tanzanian restricted range forest tree taxa were assessed. Of these taxa, 223 occurred in the Eastern Arc, 150 in Coastal forests, 17 in Northern forests and 21 in the Lake Nyasa forests. The majority of the taxa had restricted elevational ranges with 76.3 occurring in no more than two 200 m elevational bands out of a total potential elevation range of 3000 m. The majority of the taxa occupied a small area in the eastern Tanzanian forests, with 201 taxa being only found at a few sites. In determining priority areas for conservation, selection of taxon definitions can have important effects. For example, tree size varies with elevation, so if only large trees are used then site selection will be biased towards particular areas.Resource Type: Journal Papers
This report is a contribution to the UN's International Year of Biodiversity and is a complement to the UNEP-hosted Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) which is bringing visibility to the wealth of the world's natural capital. It documents over 30 successful case studies referencing thousands of restoration projects ranging from deserts and rainforests to rivers and coasts. The report confirms that restoration is not only possible but can prove highly proftable in terms of public savings; returns and the broad objectives of overcoming poverty and achieving sustainability. It also provides important recommendations on how to avoid pitfalls and how to minimize risks to ensure successful restoration.Resource Type: Reports
This study demonstrates the utility of carbon isotope discrimination in describing genetic adaptation to arid environments, although it is probably most useful in detecting differentiation when the strategy of the species under investigation is to increase water use efficiency, rather than drought-avoidance. The results suggest that populations on the eastern and western sides of the Andes should be treated as separate management units for the purposes of conserving the genetic resource of this species.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Tropical trees in the genus Aquilaria Lam. are the principal source of gaharu, one of the most valuable forest products traded internationally. Although these species are the focus of increasing conservation concern, information on their status and distribution is lacking. Information from herbarium accessions, a national forest inventory (NFI), field surveys and gaharu traders was used to assess the distribution of Aquilaria species in Indonesia, indicating population concentrations in Sumatra and eastern Kalimantan.
Given current deforestation rates, these data suggest that all Aquilaria species in Indonesia classify as Vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List criteria.Resource Type: Journal Papers
The threatened Chilean conifer Podocarpus salignus D. Don is currently the focus of ex situ conservation eorts being undertaken by the Conifer Conservation Programme of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. To assess variation within in and ex situ populations of the species, leaf material collected from four wild populations was analysed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD).
RAPD was found to be an effective tool for assessing the genetic structure of P. salignus, for providing a guide to future germplasm-sampling strategies, and for hybrid identification. Implications for genetic conservation of the species and the role of ex situ approaches are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Fagus grandifolia var. mexicana (Mexican beech) is limited to about 10 populations (2-35 ha) in the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico. The objectives were to assess the current status and distribution of beech by surveying five sites. Species richness varied between three to 27 tree species in the canopy, and from nine to 29 species in the understorey. Basal area of trees greater than or equal to 5 cm dbh varied between 27.87 and 70.98 m2 ha-1, and density from 370 to 1290 individual ha-1. Beech represented 22-99.6 of total basal area, and 6.8-83.3 of total density. Beech dominance varied from monodominant to codominance with Carpinus caroliniana, Quercus spp., Liquidambar styraciflua, Magnolia schiedeana, and Podocarpus spp. Beech total population size ranged from 180 to 6300 trees with a total of less than 1300 individuals in four sites. Anthropogenic disturbance remains a major threat to these forests. It is uncertain whether Mexican beech will be able to survive without conservation efforts.Resource Type: Journal Papers
Araucaria araucana (Monkey Puzzle), a southern South American tree species of exceptional cultural and economic importance, is of conservation concern owing to extensive historical clearance and current human pressures. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to characterise genetic heterogeneity within and among 13 populations of this species from throughout its natural range.
Although populations are geographically divided into Chilean Coastal, Chilean Andes and Argentinean regions, this grouping explained only 1.77 of the total variation. Within Andean groups there was evidence of a trend of genetic distance with increasing latitude, and clustering of populations across the Andes, suggesting postglacial migration routes from multiple refugia. Implications of these results for the conservation and use of the genetic resource of this species are discussed.Resource Type: Journal Papers

The water of the Schwarzsee lake: crystal-clear and ethereally beautiful, with the "Maria zum Schnee" chapel is perfectly reflected on its surface. This marvellous lake at the foot of the Matterhorn can be reached in only 12 minutes from the Matterhorn Express valley station. Many interesting facts about the bizarre work of the glacier can be learned on interactive theme paths recounting stories about the Matterhorn as well as on the Matterhorn glacier trail.
The Matterhorn Express is now extended. The non-stop gondola lift from Zermatt to the Trockener Steg is continued through Furgg to the Schwarzsee, and is therefore more comfortable.

Romance Is My Day Job
A Memoir of Finding Love at Last
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
Who knows the ins and outs of romance better than a Harlequin editor? A surprising and exhilarating look into Patience Bloom's unexpected real-life love story.
At some point, we've all wished romance could be more like fiction. Patience Bloom certainly did, many times over. As a teen she fell in love with Harlequin novels and imagined her life would turn out just like the heroines' on the page: That shy guy she had a crush on wouldn't just take her out—he'd sweep her off her feet with witty banter, quiet charm, and a secret life as a rock star. Not exactly her reality, but Bloom kept reading books that fed her reveries.
Years later she moved to New York and found her dream job, editing romances for Harlequin. Every day, her romantic fantasies came true—on paper. Bloom became an expert when it came to fictional love stories, editing amazing books and learning everything she could about the romance business. But her dating life remained uninspired. She nearly gave up on love.
Then one day a real-life chance at romance made her wonder if what she'd been writing and editing all those years might be true. A Facebook message from a high school friend, Sam, sparked a relationship with more promise than she'd had in years. But Sam lived thousands of miles away—they hadn't seen each other in more than twenty years. Was it worth the risk?
Finally, Bloom learned: Love and romance can conquer all.
Prelude to a Romance
I know there's a reason why I'm here, all pouty and sullen on this Amtrak train speeding back to New York City. There has to be. It's one of the first beautiful days of spring in 2009, but I'm not appreci¬ating it the way I should. My situation is causing me some confusion. If the irony of my lame love life and my profession as a romance editor is a cosmic accident, then life is truly absurd. This is why I need a chocolate doughnut before boarding.
The boyfriend I call Superman is sitting next to me, looking extremely gorgeous. He's that elusive alpha male I've always dreamed of dating, the hero who fills up the pages of many romance novels— and he was mine for five months. Now we're not speaking. The week¬end at his country home was a disaster. I can't wait to be home.
I have no idea what I'm doing anymore. At forty, I should have this part of my life figured out. And I of all people really should know better, right? I've been a romance editor at Harlequin for more than ten years. As a supposed expert in the field, the mechanics of love are familiar to me. I've read the dating books (combined with a dizzying number of romances) and given real life romance my full attention for over twenty five years. Though I never deluded myself that my hero would be James Bond or Heathcliff (who was a head case, by the way), you'd think I'd have come close. I have this vast knowledge of romance in print, a gigantic dating pool in Manhattan, and I'm no Quasimodo. But it's been a long time, and I haven't met anyone close to Mr. Darcy. Maybe it's time to take a break.
But never a break from reading love stories. The novelty of editing romance is still there: I read romance through terrible times and it gives me a boost. Every day, I work with friendly, smart people at my job. I get to deal with writers who love writing about love. They make me love love, even when I hate it. These books even compel me to hope that everyone finds her own happily ever after—not just me. And it's not because authors send me chocolate on Valentine's Day, always ask about my personal life, supply me with manuscripts to feed my book reading obsession, and are interesting people. Who doesn't want to escape for a little while? Really, it's sick that I get paid to do this.
Imagine the agony I endure on a day to day basis: A surly fBI agent—let's call him Jake Hunter—has to find the latest serial killer menacing a small community. Even though he has been through hell—maybe his wife died in a car crash or his partner was killed by a drug cartel—he has this crazy attraction to the town's knitting store owner with a name like, say, Cassie McBride, who happens to be a virgin. Knitting Girl has no clue a stalker—most likely an ex boyfriend or jealous friend from high school—wants her dead be¬cause she's so unforgettable. And why is an fBI agent in her knitting store? He's definitely sexy, and it's been a while since Cassie's no good boyfriend dumped her.
Yes. This is what I want to read most of the time. My average day is a good one. In the morning, the sun hits my neck, and I'm drink¬ing my coffee and plunging into a tale of characters overcoming ob¬stacles, having amazing simultaneous orgasm sex, and then realizing they're destined for each other. It's a far cry from this sad, depressing Amtrak ride.
I gave dating my best shot. I did everything I was supposed to do: made myself available but not too much, dated like I shopped, online dated on numerous sites, went out, was cheerful, didn't talk about my ex(es) or whine. I took extra care with hair, clothes, and makeup. I was ready for any opportunity. But then years—decades—went by and here I am, still. I've read so much, tried so hard, and I figure I'm happy even without real romance in my life. I'm okay if it's just me. The final verdict is: My life is nothing like these books, not even a little bit.
Or, maybe my real life romance is just around the corner. . . .
Praise for Patience Bloom's real-life love story:
"A nice, sweet, romantic story."
— Rachael Ray
Praise for Romance is My Day Job
"What makes Romance is my Day Job unique and charming is the author's arc: a quirky combination of professional, survivor, romance genre fan, and Desperately Seeking Single...And since she shows us her best and her worst while becoming a heroine worthy of her real hero, we like her, and find her pretty brave." - Bobbi Dumas, NPR.org
"The beautiful irony of the title says it all—erudite romance editor by day, lonely girl by night. Bloom (editor, Harlequin) offers the American, real, and highly relatable version of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones…that's bound to be consumed in great gulps. Highly recommended for romantics of all stripes."– Library Journal, starred review
"In the end, it's not romance but something more elusive that Bloom finds: intimacy. Romance may wane as the quotidian details of cohabitation intrude on hearts and flowers, but that's when true love begins." – Kirkus Reviews
"Bloom's lively memoir is sure to captivate those engrossed in the worlds of romance fictional and real." – Booklist
"Ultimately, Patience's heroism lies in her extraordinary optimism about the male sex despite the abundance of evidence she encounters to the contrary" - Bookreporter.com
"An absolute delight. Funny, charming and totally honest. I was transported. Patience Bloom will make you believe in the power of a great happily-ever-after!" – Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author of Three Little Words
"This book is fantastic! Patience Bloom has written a real-life fairy tale. Romance is My Day Job is for romance readers and memoir readers alike." —Tracey Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of On the Island and the forthcoming Covet
"I love everything about this book. Prepare to have your heart stolen and your faith renewed." – Marie Ferrarella, USA Today bestselling author of A Small Fortune
"Beautifully written, laugh out loud funny and poignant." – Mary Burton, USA Today bestselling author of The Seventh Victim

There are a multitude of important concerns facing The San Miguel County Commissioners. In this short commentary, I will briefly explain my position on a few of them.
Historically, the long term negative impacts to the environment, the local economy and the fabric of the community far outweigh the short term boost created by uranium mining and milling. Located in Montrose County, the proposed Piñon Ridge uranium mill will generate no tax revenue for San Miguel County. The development of this mill and its surrounding operations will rob water, our most precious resource, from ranching and tourist activities. Further, transportation of uranium ore and radioactive yellowcake through our county poses safety and environmental risks and wind driven particles could threaten the health of downwind San Miguel County residents. Our County has so little to gain and so much to lose. If elected to serve as your Commissioner, I will work to proactively pursue the mitigation of the many negative impacts of the Mill.
San Miguel Valley Corporation has filed for a PUD (Planned Unit Development) to build 35 homes on the property on the north side of highway 145 just west of Telluride. The presentation of the gateway to Telluride is a paramount concern to our tourist driven economy. The required affordable housing site is in a geological hazard zone and consequently may be cost prohibitive for the County to build on. In my estimation, traffic impacts have not been adequately addressed and the mass and scale of the homes does not seem consistent with the character of Telluride.
At recent meetings, the Commissioners have considered prohibiting short term rentals of private homes. I believe that this is an unnecessary intrusion. Regulation of short term home rental should be administered by Home Owner Associations which are more in touch with the particular needs of their members.
The Telluride School District is asking voters for a slight mill levy increase. This is a smart investment. It will be offset by a mill levy decrease two and one half times as large. Education is the key to a sustainable future. Continuing the excellence in our schools will encourage community-minded families to join our community and with outstanding schools in view, the desire of conscientious parents to acquire the best education for their children will result in appreciation of values for local real estate. On this referendum, the vote of a Commissioner weighs no heavier than any voter. I encourage everyone to look to the future and vote YES on measure 3A.

CSS How To...
When a browser reads a style sheet, it will format the document according to it.
Three Ways to Insert CSS
There are three ways of inserting a style sheet:
- External style sheet
- Internal style sheet
- Inline style
External Style Sheet
An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file should not contain any html tags. Your style sheet should be saved with a .css extension. An example of a style sheet file is shown below:
p {margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("images/background.gif");}
|Do not add a space between the property value and the unit (such as margin-left:20 px). The correct way is: margin-left:20px
Internal Style Sheet
An internal style sheet should be used when a single document has a unique style. You define internal styles in the head section of an HTML page, by using the <style> tag, like this:
hr {color:sienna;}
p {margin-left:20px;}
body {background-image:url("images/background.gif");}
Inline Styles
An inline style loses many of the advantages of style sheets by mixing content with presentation. Use this method sparingly!
To use inline styles you use the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS property. The example shows how to change the color and the left margin of a paragraph:
Multiple Style Sheets
If some properties have been set for the same selector in different style sheets, the values will be inherited from the more specific style sheet.
For example, an external style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
And an internal style sheet has these properties for the h3 selector:
If the page with the internal style sheet also links to the external style sheet the properties for h3 will be:
The color is inherited from the external style sheet and the text-alignment and the font-size is replaced by the internal style sheet.
Multiple Styles Will Cascade into One
Styles can be specified:
- inside an HTML element
- inside the head section of an HTML page
- in an external CSS file
Tip: Even multiple external style sheets can be referenced inside a single HTML document.
Cascading order
What style will be used when there is more than one style specified for an HTML element?
Generally speaking we can say that all the styles will "cascade" into a new "virtual" style sheet by the following rules, where number four has the highest priority:
- Browser default
- External style sheet
- Internal style sheet (in the head section)
- Inline style (inside an HTML element)
So, an inline style (inside an HTML element) has the highest priority, which means that it will override a style defined inside the <head> tag, or in an external style sheet, or in a browser (a default value).
|Note: If the link to the external style sheet is placed after the internal style sheet in HTML <head>, the external style sheet will override the internal style sheet!

The Traitor's Daughter
Kit Mallory was the daughter of a peer, but her father's reputation
meant that she was not readily accepted by society during her single
season eight years ago. Her father found her a husband, a wealthy
Indian merchant who took his prize off to Calcutta where he mostly
ignored his young wife in favor of his sporting pursuits. These
pursuits ultimately led to his death at the hands of a tiger. Kit
returned to England. On the trip, she befriended the Dowager Duchess of Wexcombe.
The duchess's family is not happy with the friendship. They are
convinced that Kit has designs on her grace's fortune. So the current
duke, her grandson, enlists his cousin, the rakish Marquess of Marquess
of Bainbridge, to seduce the widow, thus demonstrating her true character.
Nicholas Darcy is a prototypical rake, one who has arrived at the point
where his dissipations have become something of a bore. He undertakes
his cousin's mission, both because of the challenge it entails but also
because he is fond of his aunt and doesn't want her to fall under the
spell of an adventuress
The campaign to seduce Kit takes place when she accompanies her friend
to the family seat. The duchess wants Kit's presence because she knows
her grandson is going to try to force her to retire to the dower house
and give up her active life. As the stubborn duchess and the equally
stubborn duke arrive at an impasse, Nicholas makes a startling
suggestion: if Kit will consent to be his mistress, he will use his good
offices to work out a compromise which will make both parties happy.
Kit, unexpectedly attracted to the handsome marquess and worried about
her friend's future happiness, accepts the reckless bargain.
The key to a successful "reformed rake" plot is a heroine who is
compelling enough to induce the hero to give up his wicked ways. Powell
succeeds in creating such a heroine. Kit spent her time in India
learning the languages and immersing herself in the culture. She has
become a scholar of considerable ability. She is also exotically
lovely, although she does not appreciate her own attractiveness. While
Nicholas sets out to seduce her in the most calculating fashion, he soon
finds himself unexpectedly attracted to this unusual woman.
There are of course the requisite barriers to the happy ending: Kit's
determination not to marry again, the difference in their social status,
the disapproval of the family (except, of course, the dowager duchess),
and Kit's discovery of Nicholas's original perfidy.
Powell creates not only an interesting hero and heroine, but also a fine
cast of secondary characters. Particularly appealing is the dowager
duchess who, after forty years of an unhappy marriage, is finally
spreading her wings and enjoying life.
Powell has the conventions of the genre down pat and has a good feel for
the historical setting and the social conventions of the era. All in
all, A Reckless Bargain is a most enjoyable Regency romance.

Rorschach Inkblot Test, Bern Switzerland, 1942
The Rorschach test is a psychological projective test to assess personality. A subject describes what they see within the symmetrical inkblots on test cards. These tests are believed to reveal unconscious wishes, complexes and conflicts. However, critics argue the results are just as likely influenced by current mood and recent events. This is one of ten inkblot test cards designed by Hermann Rorschach (1884-1922) in 1921. It was published by Hans Huber of Bern, Switzerland. This example was used at the Institute of Education, Department of Psychology, between 1960 and 1990.

Budgeting for Healthcare in Retirement
New report finds that couples will need $240,000 to cover out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
Many Americans assume that Medicare, the government-backed health-insurance program, will cover the majority of their heathcare costs after they stop working.
But according to a new report from Fidelity, a 65-year-old couple that plans to retire in 2012 needs an additional $240,000 to cover out-of-pocket costs not covered by Medicare. This amount increased 4 percent from last year's estimate of $230,000, but it's still below the 2010 estimate of $250,000. Annual increases in retiree healthcare costs have averaged 6 percent since Fidelity's first calculation in 2002.
[Find Top-Rated Mutual Funds and ETFs.]
"Today's workers must understand that the cost of healthcare is expected to continue rising significantly in future years," says Brad Kimler, executive vice president of Fidelity's benefits consulting business. "Medical inflation is outpacing salary increases and cost-of-living adjustments for many people. Until that situation changes, it is critical that individuals include healthcare costs in their retirement-savings strategies today so they can be prepared to pay their medical bills throughout retirement."
Kimler adds that Social Security payments alone will not be able to cover healthcare expenses in retirement, and that planning for these expenses should begin long before retirement. "Retirees relying entirely on Social Security to fund their healthcare costs will be faced with difficult challenges in the future," Kimler says. "Today's workers should plan to supplement their retirement income to cover their medical expenses."
Working longer to deflect costs. Carolyn McClanahan, director of financial planning at Life Planning Partners, says the best way to counter rising healthcare costs is to work longer.
"The problem that we get into with healthcare during retirement depends largely on what age people retire at," she says. "If you're retiring early, healthcare is a huge unknown. We don't know what it's going to look like or how expensive it's going to be."
[See How Much Should You Save for a Comfortable Retirement?]
Currently in the United States, the early retirement age is 62, while the full retirement age is 67. According to recent data, many Americans are working well past that age. A recent New York Times report found that 18 percent of Americans over 65 are currently part of the workforce, up from 13 percent 10 years ago.
This increase is an outcome of the poor economy. But one of the positives is that workers are able to stay on employer health insurance longer while continuing to save for retirement.
McClanahan says working longer keeps people on an employer's plan during the so-called "go-go" phase of retirement, or the active years early in retirement. This period is followed by the "slow-go" period, in which activity slows, followed by the "no-go" phase, or the years near the end of one's life.
"During the 'no-go' phase of retirement, healthcare costs can really add up," she says.
Costs also come from supplemental plans needed to compliment basic Medicare. Insurance companies sell these plans, which are approved by the federal government, to retirees to extend coverage to doctor's visits, prescription drugs, and other costs unrelated to basic hospital visits.
[See 7 Threats to Your Retirement.]
Entering retirement healthy, both in body and finances. Wendy Richards is a doctor and national medical director for Aetna's commercial businesses, and the spokesperson for the company's Plan for Your Health campaign. She says one key in keeping healthcare costs down is to enter retirement healthy.
"It helps to implement health and wellness strategies well before retirement," she says. "Try to keep yourself as healthy as you can, and if you do have chronic conditions, manage them with your doctor." McClanahan adds that older workers are susceptible to many of the conditions that drive healthcare costs up. "Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease add to the bottom line because of co-pays," she says, referring to the payment patients must make independently of the insurance payment.

There was an interesting question about the maximum speed of a character, with an even more interesting answer that a properly optimized character can break the speed of light. (So, isn't general relativity present in D&D, and is there no time dilation, etc.?)
If someone can reach such ludicrous speeds, is would be certainly possible to also throw objects with nearly the speed of light. This would lead to an interesting phenomena, as you could turn any piece of rock into a nuclear warhead.
Would it then be according to the rules, that any character being able to reach such accelerations and speeds, could destroy huge cities just by throwing pebbles at it with 0.9 c?

- More from Where to Smoke
Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, Florida
Cigar-friendly in West Hollywood, Florida, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Alejandro Benes
Posted: December 30, 2004
In tribal terms, the council oak was the tree around which Seminole elders would gather and discuss issues of importance. In terms of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, the Council Oak is the sanctuary in which you and your friends can gather and discuss matters important or frivolous or just smoke a cigar. The latter is a major attraction in Florida, a state that has generally banned smoking in public places -- it's OK on this reservation -- but it's not the only reason to sit down at Council Oak.
If you're choosing between a Hard Rock and a nice place, Council Oak Steaks & Seafood, as it's formally known, is the prettiest and most expensive restaurant in the sprawling casino property that opened last May. Not only can you find respite from the ding-ding-ding of the slot machines, you can also associate only with those whom you care to. To do this best, you'll want a circular, high-back booth underneath the chandeliers and what seems like a Southwestern motif on the ceiling. Then you'll want the menu, though if you were observant as you walked in, you might not need it. As you walk toward the door of the restaurant from the front of the hotel, you'll see the window that is full of aging prime rib and steaks. You might miss it if you approach from the poker tables. Just look left as you enter the restaurant. Once you're inside, you can see chefs working behind a larger window. They're cutting the steaks and the Chilean Sea Bass right in front of you. I'm telling you this so you know, as the restaurant desires, that the steaks are prime quality. Also, so that you don't have to look if you are of the "I-don't-want-to-see-my-food-before-it's-on-my-plate" school. Just look to the right as you go in.
The point is that the steaks are prime and priced that way. The other point is that you'd be making a big mistake if you didn't at least consider the menu's other offerings before allowing the inevitable to occur. Appetizers are traditional, with one innovative dish, the Key West Shrimp. It's a U-4 (very large) shrimp that is grilled and stood up on a plate of mango salsa, andouille sausage and long plaintain chips. This is not a great value at $15, but it's quite good and not excessive for one hungry diner about to have part of a cow. There are oysters and crab cakes, but you can have those almost anywhere. Salads, too. Get real.
The wine list at Council Oak is large, varied, but not impressive. It's more a compilation of the usual suspects. There is a lot of room for improvement in the wines-by-the-glass category. Only one red Zinfandel and one Pinot Noir are listed. There is opportunity here. If you want a bottle, you can spend $1,750 on a 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild, or you can go with much younger vintages at reasonable rates.
Dessert is worth it, but share. There's a very complicated house special dessert and a simpler crème brûlée. In between, there's a chocolate cake that will leave you happy after one bite, ecstatic after three and in shock after you eat half the slice. Temper it with the house-made peanut butter ice cream and you're good to go. Go to the bar, that is, where you can finish the evening with a cigar and a libation.
The Council Oak's humidor is well-enough stocked with Montecristos and Partagas, among others. You can spend between $8 for a Partagas Series S and $75 for a Fuente Fuente OpusX torpedo. It's a nice bar and the music is not blaring, the way it seems to be everywhere else in the complex. I know. It's only rock 'n' roll.

In the classroom, Hochstetler has a 3.87 grade point average as a nursing major. She was a two-time member of the Mid-Continent Conference All-Academic Team as well as being named to the Mid-Con Commissioner's List of Academic Excellence.

Post subject: Endor Base at SDCC
Hey everyone.
Sorry for being kind of invisible for a while... this last semester was a killer. But now I'm done! (until grad school, at least).
I will be in SJ for the summer, so this is my first time really making a trip out of SDCC.
For those that don't stay up on the LA news, I figured I would post this for those that might be driving down to SD.
Basically, they are closing the 405 for 3 days, July 15-18. That is the Thursday-Saturday before SDCC. So, if you were planning on driving down to SD on the weekend, especially Friday or Saturday, I would prepare for an alternate route, and some horrendous traffic.
So who from Endor-land is planning on making the trip this year?

I heard about that closure on the news before we left Anaheim. They're calling it "Car-mageddon".
This'll be my tenth straight year at SDCC. I might not go in 2012 with CVI just announced, and I'll probably go to Dragon*Con next year instead.

Either he's dead, or my watch has stopped. – Groucho Marx
There have been a few moments in my sartorial lifespan when strangers have been left dumbfounded by the impracticality of my choices. While most of these revolve around weather—wearing shorts in the midst of a snow storm, for example (I happen to find tights an acceptable substitute for pants, thank you)—there is one particular accessory that winds people up. In my experience, the wristwatch is an unmatched example of an object in which fashion and functionality are expected to keep perfect time.
My first encounter in this wristy business occurred just over a year ago, at an estate sale. As I handed over five dollars to the elderly woman behind the cashbox, she commented on how darling the white leather band and face of my watch was, and how it only needed a change of battery. "Oh, I don't need it to actually work," I replied to her disapproving frown. A year later, I was at an antique mall with my mother. By that time the charming white band is waiting in a wooden jewelry box to be repaired, and my wrist is bare. Among the cluttered shelves of collectables, I came across a carrot coloured watch box, with three delicate wristwatches inside, "Timex Electric" printed on the cream lining. Snapping the lid closed, I ran to show my mother, who couldn't believe I had found three working watches for $6. "Oh, they don't actually work." I cringed slightly to hear myself reiterating the same speech. By the time we left the mall, the minutes I'd spent explaining that I regard the watches as objects of ornamentation and not utility almost outnumbered those on a Rolex.
In a world where our iPhones might as well be surgically implanted into our palms, and the twitch of a fingertip can tell you the time in Yakutsk—that's in Siberia, F.Y.I.—what use do we have for a functioning watch if not for its jaunty addition to an outfit? Additionally, for the more sentimentally inclined there is something charming about a stalled second-hand. Like putting a photograph into a locket, our dead watches have, quite literally, the capability of freezing a memory in time. I regularly glance at the hands beneath the glass and think back to what my own hands were doing at that time yesterday, last week, or even a year ago.
While for tick-tock-less enthusiasts like myself, this argument may seem straightforward, when brought up to a panel of time-conscious Wornettes, the debate became divided. Many blamed the inevitable aggravation that would present itself when, for example, while waiting for your perpetually late friend outside Starbucks, you look down to your wrist only to be greeted by a blank face. While that's an acceptable argument, I was surprised to receive this reaction from a group of people who spend hours drooling over the meticulous folds of a McQueen gown and have a library full of books lamenting the validity of fashion as an art. Why appreciate the beading of a vintage Dior gown that crumbles to dust if lightly touched, but disregard the craftsmanship of a time piece once its gears stop turning? Just because something loses its intended purpose doesn't have to mean its beauty and the intricacies of its design are lost as well. Isn't this aesthetic value enough to warrant use past the warranty?
