Dallas, Texas (PressExposure) August 04, 2009 -- WeCompareInsurance.com, an independent resource for comparing insurance quotes also provides insurance seekers information on insurance basics and news affecting the industry, including an overview of indemnity health insurance.
Health insurance comes in two basic forms - indemnity plans and managed care plans. Both indemnity and managed care health insurance are further broken down into several different types of health insurance so it is important to take the time and compare health insurance plans to determine what best fits your health care needs.
Types of indemnity plan health insurance Indemnity health plans put you in charge of choosing your health care providers, such as particular doctors and hospitals. You pay a monthly premium and your health insurance pays your medical care expenses, often after you pay a deductible and possibly a percentage of the bill.
A common employer-sponsored form of health insurance is a cafeteria or flexible spending plan. This type of health insurance allows employees to create a benefit package taken from a number of options. Contact the employee benefit department at your company for more information on the exact mix of choices available to you.
If you are looking for lower cost health insurance, a "basic and essential" plan may be the best option. Do keep in mind this type of health insurance is limited in what services may be covered so it is important to carefully read the policy so you understand what treatments the plan does cover.
Health insurance policies known as catastrophic health insurance or high-deductible health plans do just what it sounds like they would. The deductible is high, but this type of health insurance protects you against high total cost catastrophic illness.
Health savings accounts are fairly new and an alternative to traditional health insurance. This plan involves putting money into a tax-free savings account to cover your medical expenses.
An independent online resource is the fastest and easiest way to have health insurance providers compete for your business. Visit WeCompareInsurance.com when you are ready to start comparing auto insurance quotes from multiple providers.

This Windows Update MiniTool (WUMT) is an alternative to the standard Windows Update, in such a way that it can do a lot for you as described below. However, bear in mind this minitool is just a front-end for the Windows Update built-in mechanism.
What you can do:
• Check for updates
• Download updates
• Installing Updates
• Deleting installed updates
• Hiding unwanted updates
• Get direct links to the *.cab / *.Exe / *.Psf update files
• View update history
• Configure Automatic Updates
• The tool relies and use same WU infrastructure, all downloading are through WU so it is not a stand-alone downloader.
Q: What is the Automatic Updates feature?
A: WUMT has several modes to download and install updates. These modes are managed through Group Policy in the "Configure Automatic Updates" template.
Automatically - Updates are checked, downloaded and installed automatically.
Group Policy option: status is set to Not Configured
Disabled - Updates are not checked, not downloaded, not installed.
Group Policy option: status is set to Disabled
Notification mode - Notify before downloading and installing any updates.
Group Policy option: 2 - Notify for download and notify for install
Download only - Download the updates automatically and notify when they are ready to be installed.
Group Policy option: 3 - Auto download and notify for install
Scheduled - Automatically download updates and install them according to schedule.
Group Policy option: 4 - Auto download and schedule the install
Managed by Administrator - Local admins control Automatic Updates mode.
Group Policy option: 5 – Allow local administrators to select the configuration mode that Automatic Updates should notify and install updates.
Q: Which OS are supported?
A: From Windows 2000 to Windows 10.
Q: Where do the updates are downloaded?
A: %SystemDrive%\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
As expected. WUMT is just a front-end for Windows Update mechanism. This mechanism downloads into that path by default.
Q: What is the Offline mode?
A: Updates will be checked from the file wsusscn2.cab, which must be placed in the same WUMT program folder. I usually leech wsusscn2.cab link here, because M$ server lags sometimes and the file gets corrupted somehow when downloading directly, that is, wsusscn2.cab comes sans digital signature.

I am writing in response to your letters of
6 May and 27 May about the interception provisions in the draft
Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters.
Your letter of 6 May asks for an explanation
of why the notification requirements in Article 13, if applied
to the security and intelligence agencies, would necessitate disclosure
of sensitive techniques and operational methods. In some cases,
we believe that disclosure of the very fact that an intercept
was possible might reveal sensitive operational capabilities of
the security and intelligence agencies. Much can be deduced, over
time, by the circumstances of particular notifications.
You ask whether the Convention would permit
the UK authorities to make their consent to a request from another
Member State subject to the condition that the intercept material
could not be used in evidence. The Convention would allow the
UK to impose any conditions on other Member States that it would
impose on its own authorities. This could include a prohibition
on the use of intercept material as evidence. We recognise, however,
that other Member States will wish to use intercept material obtained
under the Convention as evidence. The Government's own policy
on the use of intercept material as evidence in UK courts will
be addressed in the consultation document on interception legislation
which we shall be publishing very shortly.
You express concern about the resource implications
of using the remote access solution to satellite interception.
Law enforcement agencies will need to take account of any cost
implications when deciding whether to apply to the Secretary of
State for a warrant to intercept a satellite telephone. The same
considerations apply to existing types of interception and the
use of other investigative techniques, for example a decision
to deploy a greater number of officers for surveillance purposes.
You also ask whether we consider that the Government
has a continuing interest in the use made of a facility situated
on its territory. We fully recognise that the Government has such
an interest. Indeed, satellite operators with facilities on UK
territory will need to comply with the normal licensing conditions
for telecommunications operators in the UK. We will also need
to be satisfied that appropriate security arrangements are in
place to prevent misuse of any remote access facility. We do not,
however, believe that the host Member State has a substantive
role to play in individual cases where the target is on the territory
of the intercepting Member State.
Your letter of 27 May asks whether the effect
of the proposed definition of a criminal investigation in Article
2a of JUSTPEN 33 is such as to exclude from the scope of the Convention
the activities of the security and intelligence agencies. The
version of Article 2a in JUSTPEN 24 would have this effect. However,
for the reasons set out in the Explanatory Memorandum on JUSTPEN
39 (which I am depositing in parallel with this letter), we believe
the revised definition of criminal investigation in JUSTPEN 33
would apply to intelligence gathering by the security and intelligence
agencies. It is therefore not acceptable in its present form.
Finally, you ask in your letter of 27 May whether
the Government accepts the need for data protection provisions
and if so whether these are to be agreed before the Convention
is ratified and enters into force. The Explanatory Memorandum
of 9 March on JUSTPEN 108 (13144/98) explained that agreement
had not been reached among the Member States on whether data protection
provisions are necessary. The Government continues to support
the principles of data protection and is awaiting clarification
from the Presidency on how this matter is to be taken forward.
I am copying this letter to Jimmy Hood.
15 June 1999

The location by O'hare and near the blue line to the loop makes it a nice location to stay at.
We had a mixed staff experience from excellent to below average, over all good but most notable in the mixed quality of interaction with them. One example is that we didn't have a hotel amenities book in our room, called the desk and asked if there should be one, told yes and that one would be up soon, but it never came.
Rooms were clean.
Of note if traveling with small children the out door pool is ok, but there is a small shallow end.

Post-AAC semifinal breakdown, video: Cincinnati
Coach Kevin Ollie pumped his fist as the horn sounded in UConn's 58-56 win overCincinnatiin Friday's American Athletic Conference tournament semifinal at FedExForum.
The Huskies barely survived, watching Sean Kilpatrick's contested game-winning attempt bounce off the rim just before the buzzer.
Now fourth-seeded UConn (26-7) plays second-seeded Louisville(28-5) in tonight's championship game at FedEx Forum. Game time is 6 p.m.
The two teams played for the Big East tournament title in 2011, with UConn winning 69-66.
Here's a post-game breakdown and video:
-- Junior Ryan Boatright, who hit two big three-pointers in the second half, talked about the game and championship match-up withLouisvillein the attached video.
Boatright finished with 13 points.
-- Ollie on Friday's win: "It was just a great game. Seems like every time we playCincinnatiit comes down to a one possession game. They're well-coached and they play hard. We stood up to them and we stayed in the middle of the ring and kept throwing punches."
-- Four Huskies scored in double figures. Senior Shabazz Napier led the way with 15 points.
-- UConn rode a 17-2 run in the second half to take the lead for good. A sound defense heldCincinnatito only 32 percent shooting in the final 20 minutes.
-- The Huskies did a good job taking care of the basketball in the second half, committing only four turnovers in the second half. They had 11 turnovers in the first half.
"Coach jumped on us at halftime," Boatright said. "That was the game right there. That's how we were losing – turnovers and they had too many offensive rebounds."
UConn battled even on the boards at 29-all.
-- Daniels had a productive game, finishing with 14 points and a team-high nine rebounds.
"Coming into this game, we knew it was going to be a fight," Daniels said. "I feel like we fought and showed heart. That's what I wanted to do."
-- Freshman center Amida Brimah protected the rim, blocking at least four shots for the eighth time this season. He also had seven rebounds and four points.
-- Cincinnatic oach Mick Cronin: "UConn played extremely well. They made shots. We had defensive breakdowns that for us are inexcusable… and that's disappointing. That's probably the biggest problem that I would have tonight."
-- Napier had a good view of Kilpatrick's game-winning attempt.
"I thought it was going to go down but he definitely put too much spin on it and it went out the other way."
The Huskies focused on containing Kilpatrick, who finished with 14 points on 5-for-15 from the field.
-- UConn senior reserve Tyler Olander sat out the game with the stomach bug.
-- The Huskies improved to 6-3 versus ranked opponents.

How is my foot affected through having Diabetes?
- Diabetes damages the nerves to reduce sensation. This is called peripheral neuropathy.
- Diabetes also affect the circulation. Poor circulation can affect the ability of the body to heal when damage occurs.
- Diabetes can also affect the joints, making them stiff or sore.
- Those with diabetes are more prone to infection – the body's processes that normally fight infection respond slower and often have trouble getting to infections due to the poor circulation.
How can I improve my foot health?
- See a podiatrist at least annually and begin these 8 steps!
- Wash your feet daily and dry very carefully, especially between the toes.
- Inspect your foot daily (check sores, cuts, bruises, changes to the toenails; use a mirror to look under the foot if you can not see it).
- Look after your health (loose weight; stop smoking; exercise; reduce your alcohol consumption).
- Cut toenails straight across and never cut into the corners.
- Do not try to remove corns and callus yourself – see a Podiatrist for this; NEVER use commercial corn cures.
- Avoid going barefoot, even in your own home (this lessens the chance of some accidental damage).
- Fitting of footwear is very important. Poorly fitted shoes are a common cause of problems in the foot of those with diabetes.
- Never wear tight socks or hosiery. This can cut off circulation to your feet!

Later, SERG contacted people and got interest going and we have had a Town endorsed commission for 5 years. The difference was the support and encouragement from SERG. Support was printed materials and physical presence to pose and to answer questions.
SERG is big part of the backbone of the transition away from fossil fuel dependence and over consumption is this community. The cumulative impact of SERG's work convening community dialogues and bringing together the field of energy conservation work, has raised awareness, build coalitions and dramatically furthered this crucial cause in this area.
SERG is responsible for the formation of most of the town energy commissions and committees in NH and VT and offers a great amount of guidence and support in the activities of these groups once they are formed. Bob Walker, Director of SERG, in particular is a sunningly active and valuable resource, participaing and supporting most of the enegery programs and initiatives in both states, and leading many of the most valuable. The Hartford Energy Commission would be lost without the support of Bob and SERG.
SERG provides essential services to the Upper Valley in leading the transition to a renewable energy-based economy!
SERG has done important pioneering work in our region, nudging and helping surrounding towns (such as ours) to form Energy Commissions. In turn, SERG led the way in taking an energy-efficient approach to streetlighting - we learned importantly from their experience and, in our much larger town, turned off 40% of our streetlights and converted the remainder to LEDs, reducing our electricity use for this purpose by about 80%. We look to SERG to get inspiration for what's possible....
Vermont is a small and very active 'Green' State. For its size, it is amazing that a rural and relatively impoverished State with challenging weather at best, tourism as our major income, could become a leader in this cutting edge arena of energy conservation and general 'greening' of the planet. It is no accident that VT is like this and it has been building decades before 'green' became so politically-correct. The reason for that, in my opinion, is because of the efforts of small, grass-roots organizations lead by visionaries who are also so skilled in the practicalities of taking on long, yet emergency, challenges in a practical, efficient way that they create organizations like SUSTAINABLE ENERGY RESOURCES GROUP. SERG, on a daily basis, makes a practical difference in each person's ability to cut their carbon footprint in our towns and villages beause of it's innovative programs, its decades-long, hands-on experience and commitment in building a movement that will stay productive and in a practical way, get people to gently understand the severe and frightening challenges facing us and then offering, even orchestrating and finding public funding sources to help real individuals make practical changes, weatherizing old homes for little or no out-pocket money bc SERG was instrumental in finding large grant sources, making huge cuts in energy-use and public expense thereon w/our outdated streetlight programs. In our largish-small town, in particular, it has grass-root-garnered support for energy initiatives w/measurable results - generated/coordinated/public funding for weatherization projects on town buildings and countless home-weatherization and energy efficient projects. Day to day in real people's lives, often impoverished persons' lives, SERG has been making a quantifiable difference -- organizing whole brigades of people to canvass our rural area to see who needed help, what kind, and how to make it affordable. This not only helped the people receiving the information, it increased all-out community involvement and commitment by foraging for so many door-to-door teams of volunteers. From nuts to dessert, the whole magilla, and now we have a very large (by VT standards) town populace that is not only far better educated and voluntarily making daily better choices regarding the planet and it's finite sources but are actual physical beneficiaries of a warmer home, a safer to place to live, streetlights that use 1/10th (if that) the power (and money) --a whole town coalesced around energy conversation and conservation in a practical, pass-it-on-to-the-next-generation way that will serve the planet and public good far longer than most of the people on the Board ever envisioned. And it's in my town, and it's changing people, people who otherwise wouldn't have learned or acted AND that's the biggest difference I see w/this organization --it helps in a far-reacing practical way but it also builds community and changes people. Without that level of participation in energy-conservation, that personal commitment, no programs in the world are going to work for long enough to make a difference. -- Plus, SERG has taken it State-wide in building coalitions w/other larger, more 'recognized/sexy' environmental organizations to help them bring the 'theory' into direct practice in the lives of all VT citizenry --but I am privileged to have watched it grow across decades w/the dedication and support of many people but primarily through the hands-on, day-to-day, minute-to-minute, in the trenches efforts of its Exec Dir, Robert Walker, a simple-living, dedicated, quiet example of someone who not only walks his talk but takes it to the far reaches of the State and too often on a shoestring budget. It is a premier, altho under-recognized, charity that I am proud to write an endorsement for. C. Creek Kelsey, Esq. (Juris doctor, cum laud University of San Diego Law School; Masters in Studies of Environmental Law, magna cum laud from Vermont Law School's #1 world ranked environmental program.)

The single mother to Christopher Robin, eight, and Karl, seven, says that she bought the dolls after developing a fascination with the supernatural while travelling.
'I became interested in the spirit world in 2008, while living in Estonia, Northern Europe, because I felt the presence of a spirit,' she said.
'This started my interest in the paranormal and when I moved to Glasgow in November 2008 I started researching spooky things and stumbled upon haunted dolls.'
Katrin was first intrigued when she discovered through online shops and forums there were dolls with spiritual powers.
'Haunted dolls are not possessed as such, the doll is the spirit's home.
'The spirit is attached to the doll and sometimes leaves it in the same way humans go to work every day.
'You can buy a doll, get it in the post, and the spirit comes with it.'
Katrin has to hire a babysitter while she is out to prevent the dolls from causing mischief
A shop in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, sells the dolls in the UK and scores of people chat about the subject on forums.
Enthralled by this new discovery, in August 2010 Katrin ordered her first doll, Mystical, from the US for just £10.
Katrin says that as soon as Mystical arrived she began to notice spooky goings-on in her home.
'When she arrived I realised straight away she was not a doll, she was a person,' she said.
'That night I put her near the television I told her: "If you're happy switch it off, if you are not happy leave it."
'The response was terrifying. The TV switched off and on, the lights flickered and I knew it was Mystical talking to me through the electricity.
'She told me she was happy to have been adopted by me.

9 Reasons Why the State of Colorado Rocks!
Nestled in the Southern Rocky Mountains at the Four Corners of Wild West, Colorado is the nation's eighth largest state and arguable the most magical place in the United States. Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast, adrenaline junkie, history nerd, urban dweller, mountain climber, sports lover, marijuana consumer, or ski bum, it is guaranteed that Colorado has something great to offer you. If you are not already convinced, read on to learn our top 8 reasons why Colorado rocks and why we believe it is the best state in America.
1. Endless Thrilling Outdoor Activities
As home to 4 large national parks, 42 state parks, 15 national forests, 11 national monuments, and around 8,000 miles of rivers, it's hard to not be outdoorsy in Colorado. In fact, Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the country for outdoorsmen seeking endless recreational activities while surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Coloradans and visitors alike can enjoy mountain climbing, biking, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, white water rafting, fishing, or just kicking back in one of the many natural hot springs.
2. Country's Highest Average Elevation
Colorado is largely dominated by majestic mountains that provide it with the highest average elevation of any state in the United States. Featuring seven different mountain ranges, Colorado has an average altitude of 6,800 feet above sea level and a highest point on Mount Elbert at 14,433 feet. With 56 mountains rising above 14,000 feet in its borders, it is no surprise that Colorado is home to the nation's highest tunnel, highest continuous road, and highest pizza parlor. At an elevation of 5,280 feet, Denver has rightly earned the nickname of "Mile High City" and named one of the America's highest major cities.
3. Epic Natural Wonders
While we may talk about mountains the most, Colorado is actually home to diverse natural landscapes from beautiful rolling plains in the east to vast deserts in the southwest. In the southern part of the state, the Great Sand Dunes National Park features the largest sand dunes on the entire continent. Another must-see is the Garden of the Gods, a national natural landmark where visitors can spend heavenly time viewing awe-inspiring rock formations. Pikes Peak is also famous for inspiring "America the Beautiful" with its tremendous natural beauty.
4. Sun! Sun! Sun!
Each year, Colorado has an average of 300 days of sunshine. Colorado's beautiful sunny weather adds beauty to every season by making the wildflowers bloom in spring, the leaves turn breathtaking shades in autumn, and the fresh snow sparkle in winter. In comparison, Florida reports a highest average of just 266 days of sunshine, so which is the real Sunshine State? In our opinion, more days of sunshine beats hurricane season and drenching humidity every time.
5. Legal Medical and Recreational Marijuana
In a ground-breaking move in 2012, Colorado became the first state in the nation to legalize both the medical and recreational use of marijuana. Now, there is a good reason "Rocky Mountain High" is among official state songs for Colorado. With nearly as many pot stores as public schools, it is perfectly legal for Coloradans and visitors over the age of 21 years old to purchase marijuana without fear of criminal offense. Even more importantly, Colorado was recognized by High Times magazine for having the best medical pot in America.
6. Beer Lover's Paradise
In the "Centennial State," we sure know our beer. In addition to being home to Coors, Colorado served as the location of more than 200 beer breweries, including 130 microbreweries, as of 2013. In fact, Colorado is home to the most breweries per capita in the United States and is consistently named among the top craft beer states. With many new breweries being planned statewide, there are estimates that the Colorado could hit the 300 mark by the end of the year. We are hands down the #1 spot to knock back a tall one as cold as the Rockies, and the high elevation will help you potentially get drunk faster.
7. Vibrant City Atmospheres
Despite its abundance of outdoor adventure, urbanites can still find their own slice of heaven in the state's vibrant cityscapes. As the state's capital and largest city, Denver is an incredible spread out and uncongested city at the foothills of the Rockies. Renowned for being named among the cleanest cities in the U.S., Denver has the largest park system in the nation, historic museums, and a great foodie scene that won't leave you broke. In close proximity to nature and with a colorful hippy culture, Boulder has been named the #1 happiest city in America. Also, don't forget Aurora and its more than 400 ethnic restaurants.
8. The People!
Finally, one of the main reasons Colorado rocks is simply the people that live there. Well-known for advocating healthier and more relaxed lifestyles, Coloradans have been named the healthiest Americans multiple times by Gallup Poll. By living in such a beautiful and inspiring place, Coloradans are generally outdoorsy kind-hearted people who love exploring the state's countless wonders, enjoying the world-famous sunsets, and spending an evening around the bonfire with friendly conversation. Of course, when there is always another trail to follow and a supply of legal marijuana, how could you ever become unhappy?
9. Vast Selection of Food You Must Try
As the birthplace of Chipotle Mexican Grill, it is no shocker that Colorado is well-known throughout culinary history for offering visitors an eclectic blend of ethnic foods. From Pikes Peak hot rolls and fried mountain turkey to ranch-style pan bread and trapper's fruit, Colorado offers a wide selection of traditional foods that are sure to please even the pickiest taste buds. Among the most popular choices is the Smashburger, born and bred right in the heart of Denver. For those a bit more adventurous, Colorado is also famous for Rocky Mountain Oysters. Hint: these are not your typical oysters!

My Fëeling
Some fresh tracks sorted from masses over the weekend. And on a sidenote, I'm noticing more House tracks. Is it just my tastes right now leading me back or is the House music recession almost over? Either way, enjoy.
Sïdney Sämson - Rïverside (Wärren Clärke Remix)
Fresh twist that's sure to kill.
Junior Jäck - My Fëeling (Scolin 2010 Remix)
Deeper driving beat tunes up this blast from the past.
Märtin Sölveig - I Wänt You (Läidback Luke Remix)
House goodness, Läidback Luke earned his keep on this one.
Sölitaire ft. Kätherine Ellïs - Yöu're Mïne (Club Mix)
Real nice old school House sound.
Ström - Därum (Elëctrixx Remix)
Electro-house filth.

Designed for the rigours of Cyclocross racing the Kakaboulet is a lightweight, cantilever brake CX bike for riders who just don't get down with disc brakes.. The new Kakaboulet is our canti-specific Cyclocross frameset, hand-built from high-quality Toray T800 carbon. The Kakaboulet frameset is created with our 'EPS Inside' moulding technology. Main tube frame junctions are laid up over pre-shaped EPS formers. This allows for a more accurate placement of carbon in the mould and helps to eliminate wrinkles on the inside of the frame to deliver stronger, lighter frames.
Advances in technology have resulted in new frame design features being incorporated in the Kakaboulet. A rock-solid platform for maximum pedalling efficiency comes courtesy of the massive box-section chainstays and edge-to-edge bottom bracket shell, which combines to deliver every watt of pedal-power through the BSA threaded bottom bracket to the rear wheel. Nothing is wasted. An oversized, tapered headtube and straight bladed fork with through-axle significantly increase strength and accuracy for a front end which tracks precisely wherever you aim it.

Information warfare? Fifth freedom? Finite pistol magazines? A green motif? I wonder what they could mean.
Given that comment about action flicks - it seems they're still unwilling to leave their comfort zone - the possibility of the SIGINT ninja we grew to love in past games making a comeback is looking even slimmer now.
I believe it will be about Information Warfare and Going Around The Globe, especially if you think about Megiddo, they are everywhere, so they will probably send Sam everywhere to fight them.
One hope of mine though is more stealth, a layer of stealth in addition to SCC system would be perfect, I am glad they are starting to talk about something, but I hope we see something soon (within a month) or better yet hear some solid info with explanation.
When I say single player depth, I mean I want the next game's gameplay systems to provide more options, and be more complex. We should have limited ammo and gadgets, There should be more variety of gadgets, there should be more entry and exit options for every mission, there should be a more refined detection and lighting system. There should be lockpicking, neck snapping, computer hacking, security cameras, interrogations, eavesdropping on conversions, intel gathering, body dragging, etc... All of these things were missing from Conviction. Layering all of these elements to the already stellar Conviction combat system would be perfect and provide the perfect Splinter Cell for Combat focused players, and stealth players.
If you recall, the same thing happened with Conviction. They came out in December and said that information was forthcoming in the next "few" months. Then they were silent until E3, where they showed the first gameplay footage and issued a release date for holiday season. Once we got to the holiday season they pushed the game back to February of the next year, and then finally to April.
So far, Jade Raymond has followed suit. She issued a statement back in November or December that information would be available in a few months. Recently at GDC she indicated that they are getting close to a big public announcement. They aren't going to just release a statement at an obscure time, rather they are going to logically try and capitalize on the inertia of E3. My guess is that they will hint at a holiday release, but more than likely push the game back to somewhere around April of 2013.
Meanwhile, Ghost Recon seems like it might be heading towards something interesting, whereas Splinter Cell (which has historically been my all time favorite series) seems to be going down the drain. They started by going far off into left field, then apparently some military consultants told them "hey, that's not realistic", so they decided to refocus the series towards coordinated tactical play. Splinter Cell on the other hand seems to be taking it's consulting from the very poor straight to video Steven Segall movies. Ouch!
I think, that there IS a chance, that we will hear something more about SC6 before E3. Maybe I am too oldschool, but first step is "officially announce it", say the subtitle of the episode, some basis about story plot, main characters, and few artworks, maybe pre-rendered videos, isn't it? Even for Conviction we had known it. C'mon people, don't be so sceptic, UBI Toronto is new studio, they want to do things differently and this is their first (big) project, so they should be good. So I bet on more info BEFORE E3. Who thinks the same? :-)

Buying a condominium unit is such a big investment more especially if you will take out a mortgage so you cannot afford to make a single mistake. Learn the essentials of living in a condo by reading these valuable tips I am going to share.Prior to purchasing you very own condo from tampa fl homes for sale, you should keep these tips in mind first.
When you buy a condo, you should know that you will be buying a space in a building and not the whole building. When you buy a single-family house in tampa fl, you will also get to own every structure in the yard as well as the whole house and the yard themselves unlike buying a condo unit so they are really not the same.Your ownership will not only be limited your own personal unit because there are spaces or rooms in the building that will be partially owned by every tenant. Owning a unit in a condominium gives a very special privilege of being able to own a part of a building that is common for all. Since you will partially own some parts of the whole building, you will be partly responsible for some of the repairs that need to be done for its maintenance so it is important to pay attention to those common areas.
There is also a homeowners association in a condo so you should be a part of that and know the budget allocations. The association's allocation of the budget should also include a part saved for the monthly expenses such as maintenance and garbage collection. Foreseeable work that are needed to be done for the maintenance of the building should have enough budget reserved for it to cover up expenses for things such as changing the hallways' carpets. Calculate the amount of money you might be paying if you can foresee a special assessment coming. Know the things that you can and you cannot do within your condo prior to purchasing one through reading the master deeds, restrictions and conditions since it is absolutely necessary for you to.
Since you will be living a multi-family building, you should know your neighbors. Although you may have less privacy in a condo than you may have in a house, it may be an advantage because you can become closer to your neighbors. It is also important to know the concerns of your neighbors so that you will know if you are going through the same situation. It is also very important for you to learn about the coverage of the insurance of your condo so that if a part of your property is not covered, you can buy your own.
You can purchase a property from Tampa FL 5 Bedroom Homes if living in a condo is not the lifestyle that you want and you like to live in a house with many rooms.

text: Hey guys.. been awhile since I was on here. Haven't really had the chance to post anything, because nothing was new. I was getting bored with my damsels so I shifted them to a smaller tank. Picked up a clown and a tang. they look better. and wont give me as much hassle as the damsels. as well as a starfish... which after looking on the net, am questioning if it is reef safe. I may need to put it in the other tank as well. can you guys tell me what you think this is. it's is brown and grey, with orange tips, and a white bottom, and 5 legs. I just hope it's not a chocolate chip star, cause I read those suckers eat corals and other reef. When I bought it, I asked the guy, in korean what he ate... he just said that he cleaned the bottom of the tank. also, my soft coral... not sure what it is either. I think it's a leather... it has gone into remission. I think my crabs were bothering it. but I got rid of them. they kept walking on it and it wouldn't come out for a week or so when they did. it looks like it is almost eating itself away. anything I can do?

Joe's Areas of Expertise
Here are a few things Joe knows about.
People in the know
(Please scroll right for more.)
Any task given to him is performed professionally and up to quality standards... I believe that any task that Joseph takes on will be accomplished with success and also exceed expectations. He has a lot to offer the world and he will exceed in any opportunity that is given to him.
I already have worked together with Joseph remotely for some time and have always had a pleasant feeling working together with him. For a new project in South Africa, I recently had to travel back to South Africa, where I have worked closely together with Joseph and I must say that I was really happy with all the help (much more than 'just his job') that I received from him during this difficult setup. Without Josephs help it for sure would have been much more difficult to finish all on time.
Joseph has proven leadership experience as the chairperson of a university student society. I have found him to be a thoughtful, self-reflexive leader who is not afraid to ask for help. He also shows a great deal of care and interest in the people he leads.
Joseph is highly intelligent, responsible, thorough, takes initiative and is not afraid of hard work... he was respected by staff and students alike. His academic record shows him to be a consistent and studious person who achieved excellent marks. During his third year, he wrote a third year project on a very challenging topic and I was impressed by the thoroughness with which he approached his topic. Moreover, he always took care to try and respond to advice and criticism from his supervisor – which is something that many students are unable to do at this level. I have no doubt that Joseph has the ability to achieve at whatever he sets his mind to and that he will develop into an asset for anybody who employs him. If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to contact me.
As a colleague, I quickly developed a sense of respect and admiration for Joseph. Even in those early days, it was evident to me that he was a bright, thoughtful, and articulate person. I could also see that he was very passionate about whatever he did or believed, with a natural ability to engage others. Working with Joseph on a number of projects I could see that he was a highly focused, energetic and driven professional. He consistently took on challenging roles and then performed over and above what was expected of him.
Joseph was voted as the Isaiah 268 Chairperson because of his passion and thoughtfulness and proved to be that and more. He was very committed to his position and the people on the committee and members. He is a thoughtful and considerate person who showed great leadership in not only making important decisions but listening to others when need be. He was a great mentor and was willing to give us guidance to whoever needed it, despite his great workload. He was also very motivational and inspirational.
We found him to be a diligent and hardworker,with a pleasant and amenable personality. In our employment he completed work experience in GIS and CAD mapping using ArcMap and AutoCAD 2000. He was a quick learner and was able to competently use the new skills he learnt.
I was impressed by his application of GIS and office software tools to produce the best outcomes in a problem-solving situation...I wholeheartedly recommend Joe for his work ethic, contextual thinking, and skills as a Geographer and GIS Technician.
Get in touch with Joe. Feel free to use contacts below.

Smartphone insurance 'a must'
The price tag of smartphones is ever-increasing and the cost of providing your business with top of the range technology is becoming more and more expensive. For example, a new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus is likely to set you back more than £900.
So what happens when an employee's smartphone needs repaired or replaced? Is it feasible for your business to pay out large sums of money every time? Most likely not, particularly if you are a small business.
It therefore continues to surprise me that so many businesses do not look into insurance for their devices which can start from as little as £5, particularly when you consider that smartphones are owned by 71% of all UK adults (according to Ofcom statistics).
That figure rises to 90% amongst 16-34 year olds with many adults quick to say they could not last a day without their smartphone.
Irrespective of what your preferred smartphone device is, smartphones allow us access to a wide range of tools and information, once only available from a full sized computer, and this has forced businesses to make big changes both in terms of mobilising employees and engaging their customers who are living in the same fast-paced digital world.
Whilst businesses and employees are reaping the benefits of the flexibility smartphones provide, many simply don't consider what can happen when the device is lost, damaged, or even stolen.
More than 80 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged every year, which is approximately two phones every second, and for businesses that figure can carve a sizeable hole!
Whilst you can, and should, be proactive protecting your phone with a case, this doesn't guarantee the life expectancy of your smartphone. Unlike cats, phones do not have nine lives and it is not uncommon for a phone to be damaged beyond repair, lost or stolen.
Aside from the financial implications, replacing or repairing handsets without insurance can be much more of a hassle than it needs to be. Stripped of the tools that enable mobile working, it is likely the employee's productivity will suffer as well as their ability to work to their usual capacity.
Whilst many may breeze over the finer details when agreeing new contracts, it is important that businesses of all sizes, but particularly SMEs, pause to think about the implications of not properly insuring smartphones against damage, loss or theft.
When it comes to such a crucial element of your business, you can't afford not to factor in this sort of compensation.

The Inward Journey
Dr. Satish K. Kapoor
Meditation is a step from the known into the unknown realms of existence. It is a journey from the periphery to the centre of one's being. It is the broadening of one's consciousness, the awakening of one's dormant energies, and the rechristening of one's propensities. Meditation is levitating upwards, not, of course, with the aid of some mechanical device, but through inner transformation. It is returning to the bosom of the One, from whom all existence emanates and finds sustenance, and into whom all existence melts, and gets reshaped again.
Meditation provides the alchemy which turns a Mahavira into a Jina (one who has conquered himself), and a Narendranatha into a Swami Vivekananda. It makes a person realise his virata rupa (extended self), his existence beyond existence, his oneness with the entire universe, and his mission on the terrestrial region.
Meditation takes one beyond the domain of the mind, the body and the senses. Mind is the centre of all activities, or as a psychologist would describe, the totality of conscious and unconscious cognitive processes.
It has the faculty of reasoning, but it cannot go beyond it. It may be intelligent enough to interpret the external phenomena, but it cannot arrive at the source of intelligence. It has the power of willing but it cannot reach the source of the Supreme Will. Mind can shuttle between the good and the bad, the virtuous and the voluptuous, the minimum and the maximum, but it cannot be still, quiet, or in a state of beatitude. Meditation is controlling the fluctuations of the human mind so that its fissiparous tendencies are checked and regulated towards higher goals.
The body is an instrument catering to the urges of the senses and the proclivities of the mind. It is the epicentre of all activities. But without prāna or the moving power, it turns into a carcass. One who identifies oneself with the body remains busy in satisfying carnal desires. Sense-gratification leads to disharmony within, and makes one oblivious of the true goal of life. Meditation helps one to transcend from the plane of mushrooming desires to the plane of thorough contentment.
The science of meditation finds a place in almost all religious traditions, though with varying emphases and objects of concentration. But the purpose appears to be the same i.e. to stem the tide of thought waves storming the ocean of mind, and to gain transcendental consciousness. In that supreme state of bliss, also called satori, one goes beyond ordinary sense perception, and finds the individual body in the cosmic body and individual mind in the cosmic mind. The ego sense melts away and the veil of ignorance is lifted, making the multiplicity of phenomena appear as one. The sluice gates of subtle energy open, and pervade the whole being of man.
Meditation is certainly not the expansion of one's imagination. Imagination belongs to the domain of mind while meditative state takes one above it. Meditation is not even trance, a half-conscious state, or an unconscious cataleptic condition. It is rather the expansion of human consciousness. Meditation is not a state of somnolence or hypnosis but a state of awakening. It is the flowering of man beyond his cognitive ability.
Modern man is so absorbed in the world of the senses that he has forgotten his real self. While the Outer man is nourished with material comforts, the inner man is being starved of spiritual solace. Stressful life-style, mounting desires, growing competition and decline in moral values - these and other factors have lead to tension, fear, frustration or crime. The new social milieu born of materialist culture, has affected not only the behaviour of each person but also the collective consciousness of society.
Meditation is the way, the tao to peace and progress, both in this and the next world. It may be noted that any improvement in human society ought to be preceded by an improvement in each person, for he is the society in miniature. If the components are dull ignorant, disillusioned or dehumanised, society is bound to remain deprived of its full potential and creative ability. It has been rightly said that the solution to behavioural problems which create murky situations is 'to raise individual and collective consciousness to such a high level of coherence that all actions by every other person simultaneously fulfil both his own needs and the needs of society.'
He who sees himself in all beings and all beings in himself, makes no distinction between high and low, native and foreign, humble or exalted. He finds everything around him as an extension of his own self, and is thus dissuaded from greedy acts, crime and the like. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi observed: 'In enlightenment, when everything is experienced as identical with one's own consciousness, the possibility of doing harm becomes zero; there is no one else to do harm to.'
Scientific studies have shown that meditation can be of great help in producing a state of no-tension, and in restoring health and harmony to the human organism. Since majority of the diseases from which modern man suffers, are psychosomatic in origin, meditation is the key remedy for treatment. The deep state of rest that one gets during ten minutes of meditation is far better than six hours of sleep. As one moves from circumference to the centre of one's consciousness, the mind gets activated in the process. This leads to a marked improvement in psychomotor abilities of a person.
During meditation, there is a decrease in oxygen consumption, cardiac output and breath-rate, resulting in a revitalised organism. Increase in electrical activity of the brain stimulates cranial nerves and sharpens cognitive ability. This also helps in bringing about an attitudinal change in a person, who becomes emotionally stable
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali enumerate seven steps to Samadhi. These are Yama, Niyama, Āsana, Prānāyāma, Pratyāhārā, Dhāranā and Dhyāna.
Yama and Niyama are ethical commandments to be observed by the aspirant. The former include such principles as ahimsā (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (continence) and aparigraha (non-covetousness). The latter incorporate shaucha (purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (modification), svādhyāya (study of the self), and ishvarapranidhana (resignation to the supreme will).
After the vicious tendencies of the body and the mind are controlled, the aspirant is required to make his body thoroughly fit with the help of āsanas or bodily postures and prānāyāma - breathing exercises.
Next, the mind is turned inwards, as in shanmukhi mudrā, by withdrawing it from sensory objects. This is Pratyāhāra, the fifth stage in Yoga.
It is followed by Dhāranā, or concentration on an object whether formless or with form; and then by Dhyāna or concentration. When mental distractions disappear the mind becomes one-pointed, and attains the state called Samādhī. In this state, one finds the unity between finite and the infinite, discerning and the non-discerning, phenomenan and the noumenon. In the Savikalpa form of Samādhī, the devotee and deity remain separate. But in the Nirvikalpa form, they become one.
At a time when humanity is endangered by conflicts among nations , when families are breaking-up, and majority of people suffer from stress and strain, the practice of meditation can bring about harmony and peace, both at individual and societal levels.
Meditation helps a person to come out of the vortex of ego-centric consciousness. It sublimates passion, channelizes mental faculty and integrates personality. Awakening, the summum bonum of meditation, turns a Siddhārtha into a Buddha, who then becomes the instrument of change in society. In the inimitable words of Osho: 'The word "meditation" and the word "medicine" come from the same root. Medicine cures your body, meditation cures your being; it is the inner medicine."
From Swāmī Vivekānanda and Swāmi Yogānanda, the earliest exponents of yoga in the west who taught non-physical types of yoga such as Bhakti yoga (yoga of devotion), jňāna yoga (yoga of knowledge), Karma yoga (yoga of action), Rāja yoga (yoga of control of mind), Mantra yoga (yoga of sound), Laya yoga (yoga of rhythm), or Kriya yoga (combined practice of austerity, scriptural study and devotion to god) to B.K.S. Iyenger and Pattabhi jois, disciples of the celebrated yogi, Turmalai Krishnamācārya, who focussed on Hatha yoga (yoga of physical discipline), to Bikrama Choudhary who patented a new form of yoga in America called Bikram yoga (Hot yoga, in common parlance) performed at 1050F (45.50 C), to Bābā Rāmadev whose Prāna yoga camps (shiviras) and T.V. shows have gained immense popularity in India and aboad, yoga has come a long way from its chaste, pristine and orthodox form and adopted new styles ranging from the aesthetic (as that of Bharat Thākur), to the cantankerous (Rock yoga), the giggling (Hāsya yoga), the shapely (as in Shilpa Shetty's DVD) the macho (characterised by fast exercises), and many more. The patented Sudarshan Kriyā of Shrī Shrī Ravi Shankara, a rejuvenating and cleansing technique marked by scientific-breathing and physical exercises, for the well being of mind, body and soul, has been tried by nearly 15 lakh people in 140 countries of the world. The Rāja yoga of Brahmākumārīs (different from Patanjali's Ashtānga yoga) has gained worldwide popularity for it focuses on the achievement of peace and bliss in a society riddled with tensions and conflicts.
Yoga, today, is being used more for beauty and fitness, cure of diseases, removing toxins or fat from the human body, increasing libido, eliminating stress or sharpening memory than for self realisation which is its ultimate goal. Of the eight limbs of yoga, described by the sage Pataňjali, as yama ('restraint'), niyama ('observances'), āsana ('postures'), prānāyāma ('breath-regulation'), pratyāhāra ('withdrawal'), dhārana ('concentration'), dhyāna ('meditation') and samādhī (union with supreme Being), only two limbs, āsana and prānāyama, involving physical postures and breathing techniques, are being emphasised. Yoga has become a marketable commodity and the number of corporate yogis is fast on the increase. Yet, the presence of yoga, even in its unorthodox forms, is an indirect recognition of the wisdom of the Hindu sages of the past.
