Inside the massive stone dragon of Foghaven Vale, Arthur hammered away, working day and night forging dragonlances. When fatigue threatened to overwhelm him, he resorted to divine restoratives to remove the exhaustion. After a couple days, Drake departed, saying only he was seeking vengeance having learned the identity of the Blue Dragon Highlord.
After a couple weeks, Elsebeth, Derek Crownguard, and Gauraux sailed west to Sancrist isle, home and birthplace of the knights. The voyage was rough, as their commandeered sea vessel was harried by sea life, including being battered by whales and sharks while avoided by any edible fish. Looking at the other vessels docked at Sancrist, this unusual event was not unique: every vessel showed signs of damage.
Arriving, they met with the knights in preparation for the Whitestone Council. Gunthar Uth Wistan, one of the knights vying for the position of Grand Master of the Solamnic knighthood, welcomed them into his home. They were offered warm beds and fresh food while they waited. Elsebeth, having brought the dragon orb and many of the new dragonlances, was tasked with taking a lance and the orb to the gnomes, so they could study them. She quickly rode north to Mount Nevermind, the hollowed volcano home of the gnomes. There she was re-introduced to the finest in gnomish engineering (and the gnomeflingers which had replaced inefficient "stairs") as she toured the various gnomish guilds showing off the dragonlance and dragon orb.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice behind her. It was Tictok! He quickly told her of all the problems and horrors he had encountered after their separation and how happy he was to be home and how Wilder Spirit was now dead and how they had found a dragon orb as well, but it had been lost. The gnomes took a long look at the dragon orb Elsebeth had brought, and wondered why it just looked like a big glass ball. Else looked close and something did seem odd about the "orb": there was no mist inside, no feeling of arcane power. She gave it a firm tap and the orb easily shattered. There was a "thud" as the gnome Gnosh (whose Life Quest was to study dragon orbs) fainted.
Elsebeth mused about how the orb could have vanished and Tictok interrogated Atlas, Elsebeth's horse who had been guarding the orb. It had been a month or two since they had really looked at the orb after its recovery in Icewall, and many former companions could have had access: Gilthanas, Fizban, Drake, Silvara, D'Argent (the disguised silver dragon), and even current companions who might not be fully trusted, such as Carrion and Derek Crownguard. And there was always the possibility of an enemy trained as a ranger or druid…
Returning to Castle Uth Wistan with the bad news (and Tictok), Elsebeth was informed by Guaraux of the power struggle between Derek Crownguard and Gunthar Uth Wistan. Gauraux had offered his assistance to Gunthar, having travelled with Derek and doubting his honour. They scheduled a Trial on the Question of Honour for after the Whitestone Council.
Arthur and Carrion arrived atop undead dragons, armed with newly forged dragonlances. Arthur had managed to craft twenty of the lances over the month, and was ready to arm as many knights as possible. They arrived just in time for the Council as the elves in exile arrived from Southern Ergoth, as well as kender, gnomes, as well as a handful of dwarves who were able to break through the siege of Thorabardin. The meeting goes badly, as the attending forces are reluctant to work with each other and Arthur and Elsebeth are unable to forge them into an alliance. The Whitestone Council ends with no union.
Sadly, with the Council having failed, the Companions were left with no clear goal. They knew the free city of Palanthus was under threat from the dragonarmies, defended by only a single fortress blocking a mountain pass: the High Clerist's Tower. A handful of knights hold the tower and Elsebeth had earlier offered her assistance.
Before they departed, the Question of Honour began for Derek Crownguard, with Arthur acting as a character witness against Derek while Elsebeth questioned his motives and honour. While the trial could not remove Derek's knighthood, Gunthar sent him to the High Clerist's Tower, to man the walls and not in a command position, and hopefully redeem himself with a demonstration of courage. Derek was furious, and shouted his way through the castle, swearing vengeance. After, then Gunthar requested Elsebeth and her companions to also head to the tower and do what they can to assist with the defence.
The heroes tarried for a week, repairing and reinforcing their requisitioned ship. Tictok and Gauruax armoured the hull and set-up harnesses for Carrion's zombie dragons to help tow the boat and reduce the drag from the armouring. Through skilful seamanship, the Companions made good time on the ocean voyage, and arrived at Palanthus a day-and-a-half early. They spent their time warning the city of the impending invasion, which fell on the deaf ears of complacent and spoiled citizens. Elsebeth conferred with the ageless head of the Library, Astinus, who advised her that the tower of the High Clerist was "built oddly". He promised to speak honestly with the senators of Palanthus, warning them of the attack. Meanwhile, the rest of the group decided a visual demonstration of the dragonarmies was due. They dressed Carrion in the dragonarmour of Verminaard, the dead Red Dragon Highlord, and used Tictok's illusions to create the image of an entire flight of dragons. Carrion and her "wing" of dragons, buzzed the central town square as the black robed wizard used her magic to blast the ground with lightning. When the town guard began to rally, Carrion took to the air. While the display shocked the citizens, they only began to man the town wall and asked for extra volunteers for the city garrison. No extra troops were sent to the High Clerist's Tower.
Feeling like they failed twice, the Companions rode to the High Clerist's Tower, several days south of the city through the mountains. The tower itself rose high into the sky, rising over sixteen stories and almost a thousand feet into the air, a wonder of dwarven and human construction. But the oddness of its design is quickly apparent: the eight-sided wall has three gates to the south and the octagonal central tower has six large doors all leading to a central chamber.
The tower itself had been sealed since the Cataclysm, requiring a follower of the Gods to unlock its doors. Investigating, Arthur touched one of the gates and they Companions quickly realized it was unlocked. Despite the knights' protests that the tower is a holy site (as they counter that are accompanied by the chosen prophet of the gods' return) they group ventured inside. They found the central chamber, and at its heart a large dais topped by an empty fitting for a globe-shaped object. Looking above, they saw a long hollow shaft that led sixty feet into the tower and ended with a floating platform.
Curious, Tictok flew up the shaft and discovered (seemingly) that it was designed to look straight and got wider and larger. The platform was massive, on the same level on a huge cavernous floor with cyclopean archways. On the floating platform was a mountain of treasure, all curiously large, and dominated by a massive dragonorb! The rest of the group flew up, and as they ascended, Tictok realized they were actually shrinking. Doing some quick comparative math, the gnome realized he was approximately five inches tall!
Abandoning plans to roll the dragonorb off the floating platform, the group ventured upward, hoping to find the treasure elsewhere. The first floor they reached proved fruitless but the second revealed the familiar large chamber (now eight times smaller). They entered and quickly discover it was a maze without walls, teleporting them throughout the chamber. Tictok bypassed this challenge by teleporting directly to the doorway to the platform then grabbed the orb.
Now armed with an actual orb, the group readied for the battle. Their troops were spread out across the wall as the enemy army advanced. The knights were outnumbered three-to-one. Toctok prepared some additional fortifications as he and Arthur used spells from a distance, only to realize the enemy also had spellcasters who were readied to dispel enemy magic! The enemy advanced again, meeting walls of fire that block their passage and a hail of arrows. Undaunted, the blue dragonarmy charged!

I wouldn't ride a bobber, it seems painfully uncomfortable, but to look at it.. that's a different story! Staring at this China-based workshop masterpiece is a life-time job; Bandit9 is rolling out a new bike. The masterful artist Daryl Villaueva came up with an even more extreme bike than the Hephaestus. Here it is, the Atlas, a killer-looking bobber.
At its origins stands a Yamaha XVS 400, yet the Atlas now knows a new life, with that sexy body and all of those perfect curves that turn heads the moment it's awesome looks gets your attention; and that happens in an instant. Sure, it might seem to you I'm describing this bike as it were a woman, but this bike is much more sexy, it's actually turning me on. I'm freaky that way.
Daryl had a lot of work ahead of him; to get the Atlas to this level of perfection he had to completely rebuild both engine and transmission and bring them back up to spec. The rest was freestyle fun and joy: frame, fork, bars, the hard-core front brake bracket and the gun-like looking pipes. The rear fender and tail light, headlight and seat were all built in-house. The fuel tank looks like a helmet protecting a soldier, tough and practical yet beautifully designed.
Beauty always comes with a price, except this one. The Atlas is a one-off job – sorry guys, I feel the same way – so the only way ot enjoy it is by looking at the pics below. One thing's for sure: the Chinese tuner is doing it right and Daryl should definitely keep them coming. Maybe, one of these day, we might even get the chance to buy one of his creations.

The Council of Graduate Schools' new study wrecks the left's narrative about the powerlessness of women. Their findings show that women earned the majority of doctoral degrees in 2016 for eighth straight year and outnumber men in grad school as well.
Women are dominating, especially in the fields of Arts, Humanities, Biology, Agriculture, Education, Health Sciences, Public Administration, Social Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences. This is something to be proud of, and even celebrated.
Yes, men still occupy STEM fields at a greater rate, which may support the stereotype that women are geared towards human development and health, but this is not a bad thing. Understanding a woman's strengths can only assist her in becoming more successful.
Women are earning doctoral degrees 35 percent more than men. When it comes to Masters' degrees, women are earning them 38 percent more often than men. Graduate degrees are not much different with women receiving them 35 percent more often than men.
American women are more educated now than they ever have been. This will have a direct effect on what the left calls "pay inequality" as females will be compensated more than men with lesser academic achievement.
Why does this not satisfy third wave of feminists? Many feminists still believe that women are overlooked for advancement opportunities and that women are not always compensated equally in comparison to men.
Back in 2010, Time Magazine reported that women in 147 out of 150 of the metropolitan cities in the United States are paid more than men. The factors which prompted better pay included being single, childless, and under the age of 30. Of course, it's not surprising that once women are older, married, and enter motherhood, they are compensated less simply because they work less.
So, what does this all boil down to?
Women are more likely to be more educated than men in fields that they're interested in. While these fields usually compensate less than fields of study in math, technology, and engineering, that has not hindered women from earning more money than men before entering motherhood.
Facts such as these ought to serve as a constant reminder of a very specific type of privilege – American privilege – where gender doesn't matter, but choice, opportunity, and investment does.

APM North West branch visit state-of-the-art cotton spinning facility
Posted by Robert Downham on 24th Jul 2017
With the help of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, APM's North West branch of volunteers were invited to witness the revival of a traditional British industry. The volunteers were welcomed to English Fine Cottons in Cheshire, the first mill to spin cotton in this country for 30 years and is currently the only commercial cotton spinner in the United Kingdom.
The visit included a tour conducted by Textiles Divisional Manager, Paul Storah, who has decades of cotton mill experience. The story of English Fine Cottons began with the purchase of the Grade II listed mill, based in Dukinfield, and a subsequent ten year regeneration plan aspires not only to bring cotton spinning back to Britain but to re-establish the cotton industry in the UK.
Paul said that while Britain may never be able to compete with China and India in the production of cheaper cottons, it will have many technological advantages in producing the finer cottons. He said: "Along with the strong global demand for luxury goods, the 'Made in Britain' stamp will make it viable. The aim is to work with UK based manufacturing partners on products that until now had to be sourced abroad by re-establishing production chains and specialist retailers. People want to buy products with a story, they want to feel connected with where it comes from and how it's made."
With renovations nearing completion, the three storey mill began production in October 2016 and presently employs 28 staff with more needed, in particular those skilled in electronic engineering, to bring the mill up to full capacity.
"Every bale of raw cotton from the grower has its own unique number which allows it to be traced back to the day and section of the field when it was harvested, guaranteeing consistency in colour and length. The cotton yarn produced here is ideal for use in a wide range of luxury products and the range of cottons will be suitable for small labels looking for a stock supply of luxury British-made cottons."
Graham Woodward, Secretary for APM North West branch, said: "There can't be many of us who have had the opportunity to see a working spinning mill. We had the opportunity to handle the wonderfully soft cotton at each stage and ask a range of questions - technical, commercial and fashion. Many thanks to Paul and HR Manager, Jean McLoughlin, for organising an excellent event for us."

Postoperative predicted DLCO (ppDLCO) may be used to identify high-risk patients preoperatively. Prolonged air leak is the most common respiratory complication following thoracic surgery.Renal complications following thoracic procedures are uncommon and usually occur in the setting of sepsis. Use of NSAIDs, dehydration, and preexisting renal disease are all predisposing factors.

There is considerable variability in the reported mortality rates after pneumonectomy (5%-6%) which depend on the case volume of the hospital, the age of the patient, the side of surgery4-7 and the use of induction chemotherapy.3 Old age, poor nutritional status, current smoking, and coronary artery disease8 are all well-known risks factors associated with an increased morbidity and mortality after lung resection. Respiratory complications are especially prevalent and a major contributor to morbidity in this patient population, who often exhibits preexisting pulmonary disease. The presence of COPD may increase the risk of developing bronchopleural fistulas and acute respiratory failure.8 Additionally, predicted postoperative DLCO (ppDLCO) is the strongest predictor of increased operative mortality and respiratory morbidity, independently from the presence of COPD9,10 (see Chapter 9).

Mr President, Please Publish Federal Rule Save"The Horses" From "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty
0 have signed. Let's get to 150,000!
"We, The People" respectfully petition you to please instruct Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. "Sonny" Perdue, and OMB Director, Mr. Mark Mulvaney, to expeditiously review and publish the Federal Rule in the Federal Register to remove the "Pads and Chains" from Tennessee Walking Horses. This will eliminate 50 years of corruption and Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses!
CCABLAC (Citizens Campaign Against "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty) grassroots advocates are largely Southerners who voted for you, but more importantly, they "Speak FOR 'The Horses Who Cannot Speak For Themselves". These are animal welfare advocates, not animal rights" people. Many of them eat bacon, steak and hunt wild game. We are not against Horse Shows featuring flat shod natural Tennessee Walking Horses.
According to famous Tennessean newspaper Sportswriter Mr. David Climer, "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses is akin to "Dog Fighting" and "Cock Fighting". For years, many of those involved in the Tennessee walking horse industry have yearned for its competitions to be taken seriously as a legitimate sport. Blood sport, yes. Legitimate sport, no. Sorry, but I'm calling horse excrement. Soring is still in common practice, and everybody knows it."
Native Tennessean MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) Horse Science Professor Equine Vet Dr. John Haffner says: "the "Big Lick" is a business built on the suffering and pain of horses. The fact is the big lick can only be accomplished by soring. When one soring technique becomes detectable, another one is developed. The big lick is a learned response to pain and if horses have not been sored, they do not learn it."
CCABLAC animal welfare advocates have peacefully publicly demonstrated against this Animal Cruelty from the Gulf of Mexico at Panama City Beach, FL; to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC; to Nashville, Columbia & Shelbyville, Tennessee; to Times Square in your New York City; to the Nation's Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Videos taken by CCABLAC animal welfare advocates at "Big Lick" Tennessee Walking Horse Shows have reached over 7+ million persons. The Tennessee public has responded to calls to "BOYCOTT" the "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty.
The Federal Rule has unprecedented Bi-Partisan support. The lead Sponsor is Tea Party Republican Rep. Ted Yoho, DVM (R-FL) who is a large animal vet. The other lead sponsor is Blue Dog Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader, DVM (D-OR), also a large animal vet.
The Federal Rule was proposed on July 26, 2016. Over 135,000 public comments were made, and 95% favored publication of the Rule in the Federal Register. Over 182 U. S. Representatives wrote a letter to the Secretary of Agriculture on October 25, 2016, "strongly" urging U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to "expeditiously finalize" the Rule (to abolish 'Big Lick' Animal Cruelty).
The American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Horse Council have strongly endorsed the proposed Federal Rule. They know the score.
Mr. President, key persons in the Republican establishment have been bought and paid for where this issue is concerned. Former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) blocked a vote on this in 2014. Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has taken over $750,000.00 from the "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty interests since 1988. He will not let this measure be voted upon by the U. S. Senate.
Mr. President, please do the right thing to help "The Horses" who cannot speak for themselves" To do so, you will have to go against some key members of the Republican Establishment, but by doing so, you will win over many people who have doubted you.
- It is what you promised when you ran for President, and said yesterday in your Inaugural Address: "The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes starting right here and right now. Because this moment is your moment. It belongs to you."
Mr. President, "the establishment" will not protect "The Horses" who cannot speak for themselves. This is a marvelous opportunity for you to "Make America Great Again" by taking the side of these magnificent horses who cannot speak for themselves.
Mr. President, please fulfill YOUR promise to "WE, The People", and "Make America Great Again", by helping "The Horses" Who Cannot Speak For Themselves".
After you SIGN, please SHARE this petition with your friends and family via email, Facebook, and Twitter!
A CCABLAC delegation will deliver Your PETITION Signatures and Comments to the White House, Secretary of Agriculture and Director, OMB (Office of Management and Budget).
WE, The People,
CCABLAC (Citizens Campaign Against "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty) - "We Speak FOR "The Horses" Who Cannot Speak For Themselves".

Having such a rubbish time at the moment
been in a flare for, well i actually cant remember how long its been so long, i am in flare more than not which really annoys me but as always i plod along the best i can.
People who caught some of my blogs a few months ago will know i hit a depression and managed to pull myself out of it after the gp refused to give me anyhting to help - i was so angry with him at the time as it took so much for me to pluck up the courage and actually say out loud 'I CANT COPE ANYMORE!' as it turns out i did manage to get myself out of it eventually so glad now he didnt give me any meds for it but at the time it pushed me down even further.
Anyway, as i say i have been in a flare for a fair while now, everything hurts, tired, etc, etc!
also had a viral infection which last weeks or even months at times with me now. every viral infection i have leads to me having viral arthritis, gp doesnt know why but just knows its part of my fibro. my hips get very sore and swollen and this leads to me having to be put on steroids to get the swelling down quick so i can actualy move around! this time not only did i have the problems with my hips but the same thing hapened in my left shoulder and side of the neck. the muscles became so swollen it trapped nerves in the neck making my arms shake constantly. the steroid tablets didnt work so on monday i have a steroid injection right into the muscle. been in more agony since monday but this morning the pain had eased - and then i bashed my shoulder on the door and shock horror i am back to square one!!!
so annoyed with myself for not taking more care!
ive had to take 2 weeks off work with this issue and i think this is what is making me feel more down than anything else right now, i can feel myself slowly slipping away from my normal self and back to a low, down, depressive mess all over again
i had so many issues with returning to work after sickness last year (previous blogs explain more) the thought of what treatment i may have when i go back just makes me sad. im hoping it will be different this time and i hope my employers prove me wrong but i feel like a prisoner in my own home, not wanting to leave incase i get seen by anyone who i work with, even though if they see me the pain and discomfort is clearly etched on my face and my shaky arms are easy to see!
i was such a different person last year when my depression hit, i cant face the thought of going through it again which also makes me feel down!! its like a catch 22 situation.
im sure everyone is with me when i say i just want 1 day free of pain, fatigue, depression and all the other horrible awful nasty things we have to deal with!
phew, that was a big moan but feel a bit better already for getting a bit of my chest with people who understand so much better than anyone i could talk to face to face.
thank you all for listening and being a good support whenever its needed.
hope everyone is having a better day than me! hugs to you all

VW investors file new emissions lawsuit
Almost 300 institutional investors in Volkswagen have filed a multi-billion euro suit against the carmaker for what they see as breaches of its capital markets duty in the emissions scandal, the law firm representing them said. As Hayley Platt reports, the lawsuit is for damages of 3.256 billion euro ($3.61 billion).
It's a bad news story that just keeps getting worse. 300 of Volkswagen's institutional investors have filed a multi-billion euro lawsuit against the carmaker. They're angry about being kept in the dark over the emissions scandal, alleging VW neglected its duty to capital markets between 2008 and 2015. The case is in its early stages - VW says it hasn't even received the lawsuit. But economists say there is an onus on all businesses to be as transparent as possible. (SOUNDBITE) (English) CHIEF ECONOMIC ADVISER, CEBR, VICKY PRYCE, SAYING: "Obviously investors need to invest on as full knowledge that they possibly can of what's going on in a company as they can. A firm is expected as a duty to inform them of plans, issues, concerns. But of course if you're raising money for example and you haven't given an accurate view of maybe what is happening in the future or what you've been doing then obviously you expose yourself to all sorts of potential lawsuits because people suffer huge losses." German insurers and the US pension fund Calpers are just some of the investors wanting answers. Together they're seeking damages of 3.2 billion euros. VW is now facing more than 500 lawsuits from US owners alone. And in January the US Justice Department sued VW for up to $46 billion for violating environmental laws. It also has a criminal investigation underway. VW's been delaying its fourth quarter results. Perhaps the 353 million euro writedown on its Financial Services business offering a glimpse of what's to come.

Brand New PC Crashing Once A Day Mostly 5min After StartUp !
Hi Folks
I'm afraid my first post here is a cry for help but hopefully things will improve.
I bought a new PC over a month ago to replace an aged Medion machine. During the first week of use I reckon I suffered maybe 30 BSOD's so back it went to the shop. The shop had never seen anything like it and had them stumped but after a week I got it back and booted it up straight into a BSOD (Dear Lord Give Me Strength To Carry On). However, now I only get one maybe two crashes a day which is a big improvement but nonetheless frustrating for a brand new PC. I have done a fair bit of research myself and before returning it ran Memtest which did throw up errors but I have not run it since. WhoCrashed says it is a driver problem but isn't specific. I found out last night the CPU doesn't appear in the list supported by the motherboard and this was after flashing to the latest version of the BIOS (crashed 5mins after booting this morning -my hopeful yet hopeless test).
I am hoping there is an expert who can analyse the files and tell me if I have a driver conflict or old driver as it is driving me potty. I have upgraded AMD drivers, Realtek drivers all to no apparent avail and this is me at my limit.
Any help you can give would be very gratefully appreciated.
PS. In closing for some strange reason after the first crash of the day the PC doesn't stall again but almost without fail we get our one a day (and close to startup / the settling down period as I call it)

My BSOD is taking place at what appears to be a very specific time each day either during booting up when it just restarts before getting to the login screen or shortly thereafter once each day (and nothing again after that).
It has already been back to the shop and the result was better but still not perfect but I can see from this forum it is not uncommon.
Is there anyone who could have a quick look at what the dump files are saying just in case it is a simple case of a driver that needs to be updated or something more fundamental ?
When it has got over it's morning hiccup it is fine thereafter something during this phase is causing the problem.
I do get some small degree of satisfaction from solving these problems but not without the goodwill of experts on forums such as these.

Thanks for your response !
Avast uninstalled last night in favour of MSE which ran without highlighting any issues.
MBAM found one critical object on an external HDD which was removed accordingly.
Anti-rootkit utility did not throw up any issues.
I tried but couldn't get the PC to boot from my USB to run Windows Defender and simply ran out of time on Memtest.
This morning full of hope I booted up to run straight into two crashes one whilst replying to your post ! Like it's getting angry we are getting closer ?!
I attach the txt files for your information if that is any use ? If you need any more information let me know.

PS. I noticed that my motherboard manufacturer does not list the cpu paired to it as being compatible - could this be an issue ?
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Socket AM3+ - AMD 760G - GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 5.x)
I have an AMD FX 8120 installed ?
Any help, as always appreciated.

If the motherboard and the CPU are not compatible, it must be a big issue, undoubtedly. And the memtest is also needed there.
About the crashes, no text! What we need is the files as per the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions, which will give us a closer look to the issue. So upload it .

The PC was returned to the manufacturer and a new compatible motherboard was installed. The PC still crashes at exactly the same time just after startup as it did before ! I attach a copy of the latest dump to see if there is anything obvious causing this ?

Tomorrow President Obama will sign a sweeping health care reform legislation turning it into law. Since Obama took office – and even before – there has been a lot of heated debate between Democrats and Republicans on what was the right solution to reform the healthcare problem in America. Last night – the Democrats won – the vote anyway. After Obama signs the bill into law, a compromise package, that passed the House on Sunday will go to the Senate. They'll have at least 20 hours to basically tear the bill apart amendment by amendment if they want. And considering their sour dispositions – that may very well be the case.
Now, I've never been a big political junkie. But there definitely comes a time – like now – when politics start directly affecting you. Sure, there are plenty of high school kids and middle school kids who pay diligent attention to what goes on in D.C. – and I offer up a lot of kudos to them. If everyone took as much initiative as that – we'd all be better off. For one, people would have some common knowledge about a specific issue before offering up their two cents, instead of blindly claiming a Republican or Democratic loyalty and then attacking the other just for the hell of it. Sadly, though, that's not the case. When you're young, you tend to be ego-centric and self-centered. If it doesn't affect you and your immediate world – it's just not that important.
Sadly for me, I didn't start trying to interest myself into politics til very late and I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know much about the reform bill until quite recently. Rather than claim a side, however, I've been reading up on exactly what the health care reform legislation says and what it'll mean to the average American (say, like me). I'm not completely ashamed to say I didn't know much about it because I know I'm not the only one out there. Here's a great piece done by Huma Khan of ABC News, that breaks down the bill into laymen's terms. I encourage anyone who has a so-so knowledge about the bill to read it. Educate yourselves, people, and THEN update your Facebook statuses.
I have to say that now having read up on it – I'm definitely for it. Health insurance for 95% of Americans, mandatory coverage by employers, can't be dropped from your plan if you become sick, children (and eventually adults) can't be turned away because of preexisting illnesses, and a decrease in the national deficit by billions over the next decade. Hello? What's not to like, here? (Rhetorical question, but I would still love your comments if you have some) Overall – what are yall's qualms or praises for the bill?

Blood Alcohol Levels
Interviewer: Once someone is charged, what happens if their blood alcohol level is not only above .08 but is above .15 or even higher? Is there a different class of charges that they'd be charged with if the level were that high?
Increased Penalties for Higher Levels
Adam: Actually, .14 would be the next higher level where the cutoff falls at and there are more penalties. There are different levels of penalties for each higher level of alcohol in the blood. There is a chart that indicates what penalties are imposed on each level of blood alcohol content.
Aggravating Conditions Can Enhance Penalties
Interviewer: Are there any other factors that would be considered aggravating or would enhance the penalties on the DUI?
Adam: Obviously, if there was a vehicle accident or property damage of any kind, that would make it harder to get your charge reduced or dropped.
Interviewer: Out of morbid curiosity, what's the highest blood alcohol level you've ever run into?
Urinalysis is not an Accurate Indicator
Adam: I'm trying to think. I had somebody who was close to a .20. This person actually had several different readings. When you're stopped in Ohio, they give you the test in the field and then they have to administer a test wherever the arresting police station is. I don't know why, but in the one case they also performed a urinalysis, which isn't as accurate as a true Breathalyzer.
Interviewer: If people blow over a .08 at the station or they take a urine test or blood test, are they essentially "doomed" or are there ways to challenge those tests?

SFC aims to shield Hong Kong's retail investors
Regulator plans to work with international bodies to find more ways to protect the public from miss-selling of financial products
Related topics
The Securities and Futures Commission will issue more proposals next year to prevent the misrepresentation of financial products to retail investors as part of its work with international financial regulators, according to SFC chief executive Ashley Alder.
Alder said finding ways to avoid so-called miss-selling of financial products to retail investors would be one of the major challenges facing global financial regulators next year.
"Hong Kong has already done a lot to prevent miss-selling in the past few years but we have to do more in the following years to work with the international efforts," he said on the sidelines of a regulatory conference yesterday in Hong Kong.
Alder said the commission had been actively working within the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), which is in the process of working out proposals to prevent such sales.
The major focus would be twofold, he said. First, it would look into the creators of the financial products aimed at individual investors. Second, the regulators would look into the distribution channels to determine how to control the behaviour of sales people who might push unsuitable products.
The IOSCO should be able to issue some proposals next year, which Hong Kong would consider, Alder said. The SFC as well as the banking regulator, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, has over the past two years already introduced a range of measures to prevent such activity, including implementing cooling-off periods and requiring more disclosure.
These came after the so-called Lehman minibond fiasco. More than 20,000 investors complained to either the SFC or the HKMA that they were misled by the banks or brokers' staff to buy risky minibond products issued or guaranteed by US lender Lehman Brothers. When the Wall Street bank collapsed in September 2008, the products became nearly worthless.
After the Lehman fiasco, some fund managers complained the SFC had lengthened the approval process for new funds, with some needing almost eight months to get a green light. That has put Hong Kong behind Singapore, where approval of similar products is much faster.
"The SFC does not care what other jurisdictions are doing," Alder said, adding the SFC focus is more on investor protection.
He also said that the SFC had not been too slow in making any approval. He said fund companies that had all the documentation ready could get swift approval.
But he said the SFC would need more time to review any fund or investment products that had complicated features.
Some fund managers say mainland firms can get quicker approvals than Western ones. But Alder rejected such claims, saying the SFC treats all fund companies equally "no matter whether they are from the mainland or not".
Alder also said a final proposal to tighten regulations on sponsors of stock market listings would be released next month. The SFC consulted the market in May about tighter rules on sponsors, such as adding criminal liability if they failed to check the accuracy of a listing prospectus.

What if I told you you've been lied to your whole life?
Your friends, parents, teachers and coworkers may have told you that "knowledge is power".
This is false. A fallacy.
Knowledge is not power.
Applied knowledge is power.
I love that you're reading my blog right now. I spend hours writing these posts and sharing what I know about affiliate marketing, and I love every second of it.
You could read my blog and every other bit of information about marketing on the internet, watch every YouTube lecture, burn through every guru's eBook…
Yet, if you don't take action and apply what you've learned, you'll never make a dime.
Don't wait around, start now. Your first campaign will most likely fail, but at least you will learn from it (at least I hope you will).
My newbie days were plagued with this problem. I would read and read and read, trying to find that one last bit of key information that I needed to construct the perfect campaign.
It doesn't exist. You'll never feel ready, you just have to do it.
Your first campaign won't and doesn't have to be perfect. Like I mentioned in my post about drowning in opportunity, you will learn more from your failures than you will your successes.
Free yourself from being attached to the outcome of your campaigns, don't be scared to lose money.
You lost $500 on your first campaign. But, using what you learned from that loss, your next campaign ends up profiting $1,000/day. Do you still associate the same negative emotions with that lost $500? Most likely not.
The examples I use in this post mainly relate to affiliate marketing, but these same concepts can be applied throughout your business and personal life.
If you're a content creator and want to start a YouTube channel, don't be deterred because you don't have studio quality equipment. Use an iPhone and learn how to market your brand.
The more time you waste pussyfooting around and postponing achieving your goals, the harder it's going to be when (if) you actually do start.
Set goals. They can pertain to money and revenue figures, but they don't have to.
- Launch my first campaign this week
- Optimize my current campaign to profitability
- $50 profit in a day
- Scale campaign A to a new demographic
Time is the most fleeting asset that humans have. Don't waste it.

Mina and her team did an excellent job. I had dust all throughout my house of 8 rooms and baths from having ceramic tile torn out. Very pleased. I have hired them for weekly cleaning.
Excellent job! Remodeled a bedroom. Painted ceiling, panel walls, bookshelf and desk, along with trim. Removed carpet and replaced with laminate wood floor. Prompt, professional, very reasonably priced, does great work. Hire Daniel Roofing and Construction for your next job!
I was suddenly transferred from Woodbury, MN to Omaha, NE. I was so fortunate to find the perfect house in the 1st two weekends of looking. My perfect house was built in 2008 but has been vacant since earlier this year. I don't know a soul in Omaha and went on line and found Sharon Wallace. I told her I wanted the 3400 square foot house cleaned from the ceilings to the floors....every surface, every nook and cranny. Sharon gave me an estimate that I thought was too low and said I would pay her $100 more than she quoted. I came home from my 2nd day at my new job to a home that was amazingly clean. She cleaned every surface, every drawer, every closet, every window...inside and out! A HERCULEAN effort! I have requested her to clean my home every other week.... I'm new to Omaha but Sharon is my new BFF! She doesn't know that yet!
Susie is very good at her job. I hired her to help me clean my house every couple weeks. She has helped me with everything I have asked her to do from changing beds to dusting blinds to mopping my floors and cleaning my toilets. She has adjusted as needed and is easy to work with. Her prices are reasonable. Susie is honest and kind.
Great job...not only cleaned the bathroom floor that I wanted cleaned but she cleaned the whole bathroom also without charging me extra.


text: Kids , Child Health How Often Should I Wash my Baby's Hair? BABY CARE: Unlike with adults, your baby's skin produces very little oil and so that lovely downy-soft hair won't get greasy. A quick hair wash once or twice a week will be fine. Firstly, make sure the room is kept warm, as your baby won't like to be cold. Now, prepare baby's bath. The water should be neither too cold nor too hot, 37-38ºC is about the right level, 36ºC for a newborn. Many parents find a bath thermometer helps them to get the water just right. Or you can test it with your elbow – the water should feel the same temperature as your skin. Gently place your baby into the bath, making sure to support his head and shoulders throughout. Pour a little water over your baby's hair, taking care to keep his face dry. Once his hair is wet, you can use a small amount of pH-balanced baby shampoo and carefully massage it into your baby's hair to create a lather. Be sure to keep an eye out for early signs of cradle cap. Rinse carefully, taking great care not to get any suds in baby's eyes. It is not advised that you use an adult shampoo for your baby as it may cause irritation on soft baby skin. When bathtime is over, wrap your baby in a soft towel and pat dry, rather than rub. Make sure your baby is fully dry, particularly in hard to reach folds and creases, behind ears and between toes, then dress as quickly as possible to prevent him from getting cold.

Automobile Insurance Coverage Info
Should I have "UnderInsured" automobile insurance coverage in addition to "Uninsured" automobile insurance coverage?
YES! The Missouri Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law requires every automobile to be insured for at least $25,000.00 liability insurance coverage per person and $50,000.00 per accident.
More often than not, the person that hits and injures you will not be completely uninsured, but they will have the minimum required $25,000/$50,000 liability insurance. What if you are seriously injured and need a $30,000.00 surgery? The other drivers' automobile insurance company at most will pay you the policy limits of $25,000.00 which of course, would not be enough money to cover your damages. Will your Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage help you? No, because the other fellow had automobile insurance, just not enough insurance to protect you in this situation.
You need Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM).
Underinsured Motorist Coverage on your policy will provide liability coverage over and above the insurance coverage of the motorist that hit you. If you have Underinsured Motorist Coverage of $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident, then in the above example, the other drivers' automobile insurance company would pay $25,000.00. Your insurance company would pay up to $75,000.00 to cover your claim because the other driver did not have enough insurance, thus he was "underinsured".
How much in Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM) should you have?
This depends on a number of factors such as what other types of insurance you have: Do you have health insurance? How much medical payments coverage do you have? What are your personal assets? How much automobile insurance can you afford? Therefore, you should be sure to discuss with your insurance agent your specific needs. At a minimum, if your Uninsured Coverage is more than $25,000.00 your Underinsured Coverage should be at least as much as your Uninsured Coverage in Missouri.
We believe very strongly that the motor vehicle financial responsibility law should require coverage of $100,000.00 per person and $300,000.00 per accident which would make the issue of Underinsured Coverage a little less important. All too often, however we see clients with severe injuries who did not have enough (if any) Underinsured Motorist Coverage (UIM) and are only able to collect $25,000.00, the policy limits, of the other driver's liability coverage.

Brock Lesnar: Five Questions His Fight with Junior Dos Santos Will AnswerApril 15, 2011
Brock Lesnar: Five Questions His Fight with Junior Dos Santos Will Answer
Brock Lesnar enters his fight with Junior dos Santos a different man then from what we saw back in October when he lost the heavyweight belt to Cain Velasquez.
Entering their UFC 131 bout a lot of questions are raised about Brock and his first fight in the Octagon as a former champion.
Here are five questions posed that could be answered after the UFC 131 bout between Brock and JDS.
Can Brock Still Perform Against Good Competition?
After watching two fights in a row of Brock Lesnar being beaten badly, one of which he ended up sneaking in a mediocre submission, his fight with Junior dos Santos will either prove he can still fight with the elite competition or is he done fighting for a title.
Lesnar will be facing a tough striker in JDS and could ultimately get hurt. Beating someone like JDS (JDS is the No. 1 contender for the heavyweight title) will certainly prove Brock can still hang with the best even after his last couple performances.
That's a big if as both fighters are heading into their UFC 131 bout with a lot of confidence.
Has Brock's Change Affected Him Inside the Cage?
Since taking the role as coach on The Ultimate Fighter 13, Brock is a little bit more the company man then he use to be.
Having that feeling that he needs to prove everyone wrong could prove to be either a positive or negative effect. Brock left his secretive lifestyle to help train guys on TUF and train near his opponent, JDS.
Will Brock leaving his comfort zone in training affect his gameplan when the real fight happens?
Has Brock's Striking Game Improved?
The one thing Brock has had a problem with in the past is his striking game. Brock has a great ground game made obvious by his phenomenal wrestling background.
But Cain Velasquez made Brock look bad in their fight back in October. Brock quickly turtled up after a few shots and that was that.
Not only does Brock need help on his striking, he needs help on his striking defense. His poor showing against Velasquez has led many to question his stand-up even more and a fight against a striker of Junior's caliber could make Brock look bad.
Does Brock Look Good Enough to Fight Cain Velasquez?
If Brock can survive JDS, he has a better shot at beating Cain the second time around.
Brock, like it was mentioned before, has a problem in his standup game. If he can survive JDS, Brock has proven he can beat a top striker.
Cain showed in their first fight that he was on a different level then Brock. But at the time Brock had been going through a lot in his life and only had one fight since his battle with diverticulitis.
It's all about Brock getting back on track in his fight with JDS, and if he can do that, he can compete with Cain the second time around.
Did Brock Finally Get the Rid of the Chip on His Shoulder?
Brock has talked about getting back into a title fight and how he will get back to being the UFC Heavyweight Champion.
I don't think that chip on his shoulder goes away after the fight but it's possible if he loses that it could possibly go away.
The inner fire Brock has brewing is what I think gives him the edge, and the fight, against JDS. An angry, fired up Brock is something no one should want to be in the way of.
There's a really good chance it doesn't go away, but for right now it is going to help Brock significantly in his upcoming fight.

Let's Connect
I work with clients both over Skype and in-person in the Asheville, NC area.
I believe in offering free 30 minute consultations so I can learn exactly how and if I can help you. I want to make sure we're a good fit for each other, even if it means spending extra time doing it.
And, trust me. I understand how anxiety-provoking it can be to ask for help. That's totally normal. I promise you won't feel judged and I promise you'll be glad you took this step. Looking back in 6 months it might be best decision you ever made.
Be assured that everything we discuss is confidential.

A versatile detector for the most exotic nuclei ...
A major challenge facing experiments with rare-isotope beams concerns the need to detect and quantify reaction and decay products using only limited numbers of ions. The use of a gas volume that acts as both a sensitive detector and as the target itself (an "active target") thus offers significant advantages over traditional experiments. With an intrinsic high detection efficiency, excellent angular and position resolution, and the ability to reconstruct the kinematics of every event in 3 dimensions, ACTAR TPC will play a vital role in future studies of the most exotic nuclei.
Funded by the European Research Council (ERC) in 2014, ACTAR TPC is an ambitious project responsible for the development of a novel and versatile detector system for rare-isotope beam experiments at GANIL (France) and CERN-ISOLDE (Switzerland) and other facilities worldwide. The ACTAR TPC collaboration is composed of researchers and engineers from GANIL, CENBG, IPN Orsay in France, the K.U. Leuven in Belgium, and the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
