Ease of Use
MJ - I was given this drug when I was having severe problems due to Grave's disease (overactive thyroid). My blood pressure was a little high but my heart was racing and I was shaking like crazy. Together with anti-thyroid meds, conditions began to improve almost immediately. Took a while, but got back to normal.

my family MD gave me this to treat my thyroid, said my harmones were off the chart. I am on heart medication since having bypass sugary. My blood presure is fine. I can not find where this med would help me at all. It says nothing about helping the thyroid. I have taken two pills and they make my face flush and give me the jitters. Thank you for any help you can give me. M.J. in Al.

I have been taking this medication for migrain for about 3 years and it has worked very well untill a year ago I started getting pain in buttocks thighs and hips, I had x rays on hips and spine and that was shown to be ok. I stopped taking propranolol and the pain disappeared. Started to take them again only took 10 days and the pain was back. Can only conclude this was down to medication as no ... Show Full Comment

I was prescribed this medication due to a nerve disorder around my rt eye. It constantly looked like I was winking at everyone. After MRI's/MRA's and various blood work, my physician determined I had some kind of migraine headaches that only produce this side effect. If my eye starts closing thats my clue that I am about to get a migraine. Without propranolol HCL I get a full blown migrain ... Show Full Comment

friendly. We ate everywhere on board from the Windjammer restaurant, Chops and Portofino's and the
food was absolutely excellent and do not know how they do it! Now for all the shows which offered some -thing for everyone and loved Grease and the Ice shows, however they were all great! There was great music throughout the ship and poolside, however the guitarist Pedro was outstanding. We are Crown & Anchor members and want to say thank you for always remembering us with parties, cocktails and treats! We visited just about all of the bars on board from the Champagne bar to the Schooner. We loved Bolero's and the various types of music and drinks. We were lucky to meet a young lady who worked for RCCL and discovered that she was there working and found out RCCL's secret! You are always looking for ways to improve your product for us! She took a moment to describe what she was doing and was so friendly to stop and take the time. However as always,there is always one person who had his panties in a twist and complained about he to everyone around him and would venture to guess he also complained to the higher ups. Unfortunately there is always a negative person or group that just believes they are entitled or elected to complain about anything, someone or something. What is really sad is that they pay good money to complain about something. In my opinion they are only looking to get something for nothing. Oh Well! We arrived in Europe a few days in advance so we never got off of the ship once we boarded! We didn't need to as there was so much to do 24/7! Oh yes, I almost forgot... Sorrento's had the most amazing appetizers!
Honestly we decided to come at the last minute and got a fantastic deal and would not have the nerve to complain about anything. Fact is, there was nothing to complain about! Thank you again RCCL for always making our vacation a great one!

Working toward a just world
A just world is a sustainable, peaceful and fun world
On wed the 22nd of november 2000 IASA was set up, we are a group of concerned Irish architectural students.
We want to unite all students of architecture in this country/ island.
Today is an amazing time to be an architectural student in Ireland,
We are living in the third major world revolution, after the agricultural and the industrial; the digital
For the first time ever, Ireland is an economically desirable place to come and work, the tiger is roaring.
Money is coming into the country like never experienced before
With all this though there are still many problems, some of which are getting bigger day by day;
The world is a limited closed system but we are living as if it has unlimited resources which will never end.
We are destroying the life support systems of this planet.
We as human beings have to stand up and try to create solutions to this problem.
Problems within our own country;
City sprawl, traffic congestion and lack of proper public transport service.
Too little recycling and energy conservation in buildings.
Lack of vision and corruption in government and as a result poor quality city and rural areas.
Rent prices getting out of hand, especially for students in Dublin.
An apathetic and dead atmosphere in colleges, a lack of fun, creativity and play.
communication problems, between colleges, architects and the real world.
these are some of the areas we hope to examine and challenge as a united student body
Architecture week is happening from Monday the 11th till Friday the 15th of december 2000 in bolton street D.I.T.
We are inviting all students and staff from queens and ucd to attend and participate this year
On Friday the 15th at 2.00 we are having the first IASA general meeting in bolton street D.I.T.
We urge all students interested to get involved and to encourage others to do so
IASA is open to everybody, all members of the public. it is an open system

Girl, 18, pushed to the ground and sexually assualted by three men
Updated 1:51pm Tuesday 6th May 2014 in News By SNJ Reporter
POLICE are appealing for information after the sexual assault of a woman in Cheltenham.
The incident happened between 11.30pm on Thursday May 1 and 12am on Friday May 2 on Brunswick Street in the town.
The 18-year-old victim was walking along Brunswick Street when she was approached by three men. One of the offenders then pushed the victim to the ground, attempted to remove her clothes and sexually assaulted her.
The victim then shouted at the men to leave her alone, at which point they then left her.
The men are described as white and aged in their 20s or 30s. One of the men had brown hair with stubble on his face. The second man had brown hair and the third man had very dark hair.
Detective Sergeant Peter Rowsell said: "We understand that this will be very worrying for the local community. We would reassure them that we are doing all we can to find these men and to bring them to justice.
"The community can help us with this investigation by thinking back to around 11.30pm-midnight if they were in the Brunswick Street area, perhaps driving or walking through the area on the way back from a night out.
"We'd ask anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area to please call us on 101, no matter how small or insignificant the information may seem."
Anyone who may have information on this incident is asked to call Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting incident number 3 of May 2.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – The University of Virginia is beginning its new school year, by remembering Yeardley Love. The 22-year-old lacrosse player was found beaten to death five months ago. Today the campus held what's being billed as a "Day of Dialogue: Toward a Caring Community. The University's new president, Teresa Sullivan, says this is a day of healing and of frank discussions about ways to prevent violence.
Black veils now cover the University of Virginia's iconic Rotunda. A public art project, meant to symbolize the grief and mourning still present on the campus.
Yeardley Love's death at the end of school marked the end of a long and tragic year for the university. In all, 7 students died. Virginia Tech student Morgan Harrington was also murdered in Charlottesville.
"For some of these deaths though we are left to wonder if we might have done something differently to change what happened, particularly in situations where students were victims of violence," said Sullivan.
Questions are what UVA's president encouraged Friday. She opened the campus to counselors and private discussion groups.
"Bringing everyone together to get everyone's opinion and to bring everyone to a consensus about what we wanted to do moving forward and how we were going to effect change in our community." said Danielle MacGregor, a UVA fourth year.
Students and faculty were asked to reflect, listen and think about personal responsibility as well as violence prevention.
"They wanted to promote a culture of respect and they wanted to help people realize when dangerous thing were happening in their community, understand how to react and to take appropriate action," said fourth year student Will Bane.
By day's end, the black veils on the Rotunda will be lifted.
"At the same time we want to channel our grief into energy. Energy that we can use to begin the work of building a stronger, more caring community," said Sullivan.
She says she hopes this conversation continues throughout the year, with students finding new and creative ways to listen and help each other.
Also tonight, a back up at the state lab will delay a hearing for the man charged in Love's death. 22-year-old George Huguely was supposed to be in court in October, but this afternoon a judge moved that hearing to January. Prosecutors say several key pieces of evidence are still be analyzed by the lab.

I just wanted to know how many people incorporated dairy products into their diets, and which ones? I am in a semi-bulking phase and currently use Fat free milk, organic if i can afford it, for my protein/carb shakes. I also eat fat free cottage cheese and yogurt for maybe 2 meals a day.
what does everyone else think of dairy?
I restrict my dairy intake because of the lactose. Lactic acid is counter-productive to training and fat loss.
Hum, i dont know but i think lactose is the sugar contained in milk and lactic acid, the muscle waste product? i dont think its the same thing. However, i do think that lactose is not good for us. I recently read an article on The milk industry and im not too much of a milk fan now, they stated pretty good reasons why milk is not as good as they want us too think.
I drink loads of milk. I get about 900 cals a day from it!
I'm gonna cut it completely when i start to diet, and at first replace it with oatmeal or rice, then over the course of a few weeks, gradually reduce the oatmeal or rice until i'm down to my diet level of cals.

mmmmmmmmmm.... Milk.
I drink lots of milk, unless I'm dieting - and I cut it out due to the high carb content. I could include it, but I like to get as many cals from solid food as i can when I have to limit what I eat.
Frankster is correct, no relationship between lactose and lactic acid. There is nothing wrong with milk especially if you drink fat free milk.
I detest milk, but I drink fat free stuff..one cup a day 5 days a week cause I'm susceptible to osteoporosis and never remember to take my damn calcium pills...disgusting stuff though.
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
Oh yes, there is a relationship. I did a research paper on the issue in college. Here is some info for your reading pleasure...
Lactose, with formula C12H22O11, is the predominant sugar in milk. Upon hydrolysis, lactose gives glucose and galactose. In the presence of the enzymes in the digestive tract, it ferments into lactic acid and butyric acid.
Undigested lactose fermented by bacteria in the digestive tract, creates lactic acid and other short-chain fatty acids.
Small amounts of lactic acid occur in blood, in muscles, and in other body fluids and organs. They are produced by body tissues, primarily muscle, that obtain energy by metabolizing sugar(lactose) in the absence of oxygen. The building up of large amounts of lactic acid in muscle leads to fatigue and can cause cramps. Lactic acid, generated in milk by fermentation of lactose, causes the souring of milk. Lactic acid is used in preparing cheese, sauerkraut, soft drinks, and other food products.
[Edited by gino on 01-30-2001 at 02:28 PM]
Gino, in your research you noted that enzymes in the digestive tract help to ferment lactose into lactic acid. Then you mentioned how lactic acid can cause fatigue and cramps in the muslces. What you are not getting is that there is no connection between the two. Lactic acid buildup in the muscles is a byproduct of glycolysis (anaerobic breakdown of glucose to form ATP). This process has nothing to do with what happens in the digestive tract. If (and I'm not sure this happens) the lactic acid formed in the digestive tract was reabsorbed into the bloodstream it would not cause a large enough buildup to inhibit weight training. That is what I meant by no relationship. The lactic acid buildup in muscle is due to anaerobic metabolism of glucose and is significant only in those muscles being worked.
I did not restrict the conversion(lactose to lactic acid) to what takes place in the digestive tract and I am aware that it is not an immediate conversion. There are many steps to the glycolysis process. My point is that NON-GLUCOSE sugars can also take part in glycolysis Chris. These include LACTOSE, maltose, mannose, and sucrose. Glycolysis occurs in two major stages, the first of which is the conversion of the various sugars to a common intermediate, GLUCOSE-6-phosphate. The second major phase is the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to pyruvate. The products of glycolysis are further metabolized to complete the breakdown of glucose. Their ultimate fate varies depending upon the organism. Often, lactic acid is the final product produced from pyruvic acid, and the process is referred to as homolactic fermentation. In the tissues of many organisms, including mammals, glycolysis is ALSO a prelude to the complex metabolic process that ultimately converts pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water with the production of much ATP and the consumption of oxygen.
SO, having said that(what a mouthful), how does minimal amounts of sugars(including digested lactose) in the blood affect this reaction? What about an abundant amount of these sugars?
Look Gino, usually you give very to the point and accurate explanations of things, but this time you seem to be spewing a lot of scientific terms with no logical relationship or conclusion. In your first post, you stated "I restrict my dairy intake because of lactose. Lactic acid is counter-productive to training and fat loss." Your next post tried to further the link between lactose and lactic acid in the muscles. My point was that the lactic acid that contributes to muscular fatigue has nothing to do with drinking milk other than the fact that your body can derive glucose from the lactose in milk. I'm not sure that you really understand what you are saying. Glycolysis is a necessary function in order to sustain strenuous exercise for more than about 15 seconds. Lactic acid is part of the end result of glycolysis when oxygen is not present in sufficient quantities (weightlifting for example). This lactic acid buildup which contributes to muscular failure is what you might call a necessary evil. You would not be able to train for more than 15 seconds without it. Glycolysis ONLY occurs with glucose. Now, glucose is DERIVED from other sugars, but it is the only sugar used in glycolysis. You need glucose to function properly. So, to not drink milk because it contains lactose is unfounded. If the majority of carbs you ingest are complex in nature, some simple sugars are fine. Excessive simple sugars are not prudent because they cause insulin spikes. What happens in the digestive tract with the lactose from milk has little or no bearing on your training.
By the way, I was happy to admit my error on the cardio speed post.
I don't understand what I'm saying. OK. No more on this subject.

Just a question to someone like Brumby or Fullins..
I have Permanent by Joy Division (obv) and up until a few mintues ago, thought it was a studio album, along with Closer and Unknown Pleasures. I now know that it has tracks from both Unknown Pleasures and Closer, so is it worth getting either of those two albums if I have Permanent? Are there any tracks worth listening to?

I don't have Permanent (as I have all the tracks from the four albums that I mentioned) but looking at the track listing it's missing a lot of their more important work (Atrocity Exhibition, Decades, Disorder, Insight, Digital etc). More generally I think it's more rewarding to listen to albums as they were intended to be heard rather than listening to fragments in a compilation.
FTR, I slightly prefer the Permanent mix of Love Will Tear Us Apart, so it's not a complete waste.

Once I laid out a screenshot with the changed skin of the mercenary. Changes were that hands at "black" mercenaries became rather black. I know, not one...
Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago Valerie, a brash newspaper reporter, offered him an incredible sum of cash to sail her to this unspoiled paradise; but shortly after docking he was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming over the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island with nothing but a gun and his wits to help him survive. And the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become...

About Crylo with 2 comments by Janzu118 on Jun 21st, 2014
Ive been kinda busy with life and work and stuff and stuff + being lazy..
But i though i would post some progress i've made with Flood:'
Now, i wanna make the gameplay around flood, since well they are a formidable enemies, it wasn't actually my plan at the start since this engine limits some stuff with flood, like destroying em, limb destroying and so on.
Now why is it impossible to have a flood like in Halo games?
Well, for starters its impossible to either make a character of this kind in engine what have destructible body parts since well...this engine kinda is old.
I though about other way, that i would to multiple characters and if the character has taken certain amount of damage it will switch, but it brings up some problems aswell, like if the character spawns it will be in T position for a second and its unable merge with the original movement at the spawning point.
About the flood:
This flood isn't the one like in Halo games (i'm not talking about the gameplay and destroying perspective) this is about the lore, this flood is a bit different, namely it doesn't spread with only infectors but with through air aswell. How did it became like this?
One of the covenant cults made some research about them on how to control them and an accident happened, making a whole living planet a flood invested world, ofcoure luckily there only was some ships on the planet but they were glassed.
But it isn't over, the flood is building a mechanics so they can launch themselves onto another planets and the rest...i wont tell...
Actually, i have no idea what will happen, since i'm super bad at story writing.
I have some ideas about the flood aswell, i really want to make it infecting, like if a character is killed while the flood spores are in the air the character will turn into flood or if the Infector will reach the dead character.
I have on animated...kinda, the multiply legs what is a pain to animate and as always, i will have problems once it is in the game.
for instance, if you shoot them they wont blow up...i think its codable...but i don't wanna get on the nerves of pvcf with it...
also the Flood infector carriers or *Carrier Form* i wont include them in the mod, because of the engine, in Halo games, once the Carrier Form is close to player it will go down and blow up releasing 5-10 infectors.
What forms will be here?
Feel free to click so you could read about em in wiki.
also, they will not have the same behaviors like in Halo games or animations since i need to animate them from ground up, and i will have some having FarCry mutant animations.
and since this engine isnt Halo one i cant make them climb walls and stuff..
Now i dont know if i include Elite and Brute forms, but imma see..
There might be more, if i get some time to think what would be needed, and i will remodel some original mutant models to make new forms.
Carrier Form:
Phantom and Pelican are flood infested so the flood could move around easily, but these forms will only be seen in Flood infested planets since it takes time to infest these dropships.
Human/elite/Brute combat forms have 2 -3 different forms, 1 is pure melee, 2nd is weapon form, 3rd is well...no hands, so just gets on your nerves.
Tank Forms a bit different than the original Halo 3 ones, they now move in 2 legs are fast and hit hard.
Ranged Form will not stay at one place, they will move and shoot the player.
Stalker form is fast and very agile, like a jumping spider.
Infection form will attack the player not blow up once it is near the player.
Note taken is that the pure forms will NOT transform like they did in Halo 3, if someone is wondering what i mean is that in Halo 3 the pure forms were able to transform into other pure forms, it was because if player was melee the Tank Form would transform into ranged or stalker to better counter the player and so on..
Long story short, there will be some BIG work to be done.
Also, since i cant uplaod videos via youtube:
Once I laid out a screenshot with the changed skin of the mercenary. Changes were that hands at "black" mercenaries became rather black. I know, not one...
This mod adds a totally unfair weapon to the original FarCry: the Sniper MP5 aka SMP5 aka "that green beast of a weapon". *** SMP5 FEATURES *** o Ultra...
This is the public release of the Singularity Mod, it is packed on a .rar file and is about 704 mb uncompressed. Make sure you read the readme file before...
In case you didn't understand English voiceacting, here's a file that turns all subtitles into English subtitles.
The day is finally here. Past Attacks: Episode One 2.0 is finally here.
A patch that fixed a few reported bugs, remember to PM me here or on CryMods if you find any bugs. Happy gaming!
Man, you could read The Iliad while installing this if you have a lower end system. Great game though, but freakin hard!
bout that argument: Id go for both farcry and crysis for the games themselves. They are both fun games, I mean farcry would win in my book though cause crysis was made by a company under the umbrella of EA, and I would bomb EAs HQ if I wouldnt get caught, and nobody would get hurt, or any surrounding buildings get damaged...
This game rocks! I remember playing it when it was released
I liked Crysis, but i liked Far Cry waaaaay more
i have the pc for it and believe me they mostly only cared about the graphics.
the gameplay is good, but not great
Far Cry is the best i have ever played since 2004
BTW why are there FC instincts screenshots ?
Well Crysis may be innovative and well done, but Far Cry paved its path... Very deep :D. But the Tridgens ARE really really annnoying.
How active is the multiplayer currently? Do a lot of people play with the XTv4 patch?
No all crysis games suck deal with it
get a graphics card, noob
Gameplay is never equivelant to non-essential graphics features. Crysis still sucks as a game if you have a GTX or a HD4870. At least FarCry is very enjoyable and doesn't try too hard to be Predator-Too.
You're an idiot, deal with it. We get you don't like this family of games, stop bothering people who do.
STFU. You are an idiot, because Crysis sucks
Highest Rated (3 agree) 10/10
Far Cry is definitely a great game. I can say that its a real masterpiece of Crytek which has everything - the best ever seen graphics by that time, interesting and challenging gameplay, and of course its story. You feel yourself like in a tropical paradise which hides something terrible inside. The game is quite long in compare with other FPS games, and it consists of 20 Single player levels and 8 multiplayer maps. Finally I just want to add that the only thing I dislike is a game difficulty. IF…

The next weather-maker will move into our area this weekend, bringing plenty of rain. A cold front will push towards CenLa throughout the day on Saturday bringing a good chance for showers and thunderstorms. The rain sticks around on Sunday too, before tapering off in the evening hours. Overall, we could see 1-2 inches of rain throughout the weekend with this event. While we may see a few thunderstorms, widespread severe weather is not expected.
Once we get the rain out of the way, and the cold front pushes through (Sunday morning) we'll see more comfortable temperatures to start the first week of October. Most of next week will bring us low temperatures in the lower 60's and a couple of nights we should drop into the upper 50's (Tues/Wed). High temperatures will start in the lower 80's on Monday and we'll slowly warm into the upper 80's by the end of next week. Overall, it should be another enjoyable week of fall temperatures!

Blastomycosis (cont.)
When to Seek Medical Care
People should seek medical care if they are or have been at risk for coming in contact with the fungi and are immunodepressed from any cause. Others should seek care if they have the same exposure risk as above and develop flu-like symptoms, especially during the periods of low flu activity (usually late spring through early fall) or they develop prolonged symptoms (usually greater than two weeks) that may increase in severity and/or develop skin nodules.

Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
Per the Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance number 2008-89, effective July 2008, to promote Small local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation in subcontracting opportunities, the City of Tampa will establish subcontract goals for certified SLBE participation. The goals will be based on available SLBE firms and the identified subcontracting opportunities.
General FAQs
Women in Minority Business Enterprise Program
Q. How do I get certified as a
Women/Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE)?
Q. How does the WMBE Program work?
Q. How long does it take to get certified?
Small Local Business Enterprise Program (FAQs)
Q. Are there any special requirements for the
Local Business Enterprise Program (SLBE)?
Q. How do I bid for SLBE projects?
Q. How do I get certified as a Small
Local Business Enterprise
Q. If my company is a City of Tampa certified SLBE the contract amount ultimately will be credited to prime SLBE participation, do I still have to meet the SLBE subcontracting goal?
A. Yes, the City expects all SLBE Prime bidders to make a good faith effort to achieve the SLBE subcontracting goals. SLBE primes are not exempt from soliciting SLBE subcontractors if subcontractors are to be used.
Bidders are to submit (as part of their bids) documentation of their good faith outreach to solicit SLBEs in providing the work for the contract, bid or proposal.
Q. What are good faith efforts?
A. Good faith efforts are the actions and methods taken by the bidder to achieve the SLBE subcontracting goals.
Q. How should I document my company's good faith efforts?
A. All bidders must complete and submit (as part of their bid) the form entitled "Compliance Plan for Small Local Business Subcontracting."
Q. If my company achieves the SLBE subcontracting goals do I have to document its good faith efforts?
A. No, however, all bidders must submit the Compliance Plan form at a minimum. Bidders that meet or exceed the SLBE goal need only mark the first check-box on the form. The ten (10) action steps required under the Compliance Plan documentation need not be reported.
Q. Who will review my documentation and why?
A. The staff of the MBD Office will review the veracity of good faith efforts. The information will assist the City in determining bidder responsiveness to bid requirements for award.
Q. How do I identify the City of Tampa certified SLBEs that perform the type of work I plan to subcontract?
A. The listing of City certified SLBEs is updated monthly and is available on-line at: http://www.tampagov.net/dept_minority_business_development/information_resources/publications.asp Bidders should use the most current SLBE directory on that site at the time the bid is advertised.
Q. Must I solicit all SLBEs listed under each trade or service identified for subcontracting opportunities or is it sufficient to solicit only a few under each category?
A. We encourage bidders to solicit all SLBEs listed under the trades or services identified for subcontracting.
Q. Can I solicit SLBE subcontractors by fax?
A. Yes. We encourage SLBE solicitation by fax. Fax confirmation reports should be included with the completed Compliance Plan form as part of the documentation of SLBE solicitation efforts.
Q. What should I do if the fax transmission does not go through or if I cannot find a fax number for a SLBE?
A. Make at least two attempts to send the fax. If you cannot identify a fax number for an SLBE, send the solicitation letter by standard U.S. mail and try to telephone the SLBE. Keep a copy of the mailed letter and, if necessary, include it in the bid package with notes explaining what occurred. Send all solicitations in sufficient time to allow SLBEs to prepare a bid or quote. Keep a log of all outreach.
Q. To show good faith efforts, is it enough for me to submit a statement that economically feasible portions of work were selected for subcontracting to SLBEs?
A. No, you should submit a copy of the lists of the trades and services which you sent to SLBEs when you solicited their bids and quotes.
Q. How do I determine the "economically feasible portions of work" for subcontracting opportunities?
A. Bidders should review the City's plans and specifications to determine the trades and services required to complete the project and review the current SLBE Directory to identify the SLBEs that provide those trades and services.
Q. The City�s plans and specifications include a copy of the goal setting worksheet that lists scopes of work with the names of SLBEs. Am I required to use those scopes of work as my subcontracting opportunities?
A. Yes, we suggest those scopes of work as a minimum guideline where availability has already been determined for you. However, the goal setting worksheet is sometimes prepared months in advance. Therefore, you should also use the current monthly SLBE directory for currently certified SLBEs.
Q. Should I also identify additional subcontracting opportunities?
A. Copies of the goal setting worksheets are provided for the bidders' convenience. When you have not met the goals, you should also consider other subcontracting opportunities for which SLBEs are available
Q. If I can do the work with my own employees , do I still have to try to use certified SLBEs?
A. Bidders should make a "good faith effort" to meet the goals. If a bidder intends to self-perform a scope of work that is listed on the goal setting worksheet, he should try to identify other subcontracting opportunities of equal or greater value that will assure the possibility of meeting the goals. In this instance, submit a written statement identifying the substituted trade or service and its estimated dollar value.
Q. Is there ever an instance when I do not need to document negotiations with an SLBE?
A. Bidders do not need to document negotiations with an SLBE when another SLBE will be performing the same scope of work.
Q. On what type of negotiations with SLBEs must I submit documentation? What if an SLBE�s price is too high?
A. Never ask an SLBE if it can "beat" a certain price. It is O.K. to ask for the SLBE's "best and final" offer or to discuss incomplete scopes of work or to negotiate with the SLBE about performing only a specific portion of work within a trade or service. Negotiating is not bid shopping.
Q. At what point in the process should I offer assistance and to what extent am I required to assist SLBEs?
A. The offer of assistance should be made in the solicitation letter. Bidders should offer to make plans and specifications available to SLBEs. Additionally, bidders might refer SLBEs to the bidders bonding company, insurance company or financial institutions to meet the bidders' requirements in these areas.
Q. Am I ever required to waive bonding, insurance or financing requirements for a SLBE subcontractor?
A. No, SLBEs should be held to the same standards as non-SLBE subcontractors (no more, no less). However, a bidder may choose to waive requirements for SLBEs at the bidder's discretion.
Q. Must I use a SLBEs quote even if I receive a lower quote from a non-SLBE?
A. No, however, you should ask SLBEs for their "best and final" offer and submit, as part of your bid, applicable documentation (for example: a copy of the SLBE's quote, a copy of the quote for the non-SLBE that will be used instead, an estimate of the fair market value of the work, or whatever is applicable) and submit a written statement about negotiations with the SLBE.
Q. Can a determination of non-qualification be made prior to contacting the SLBE?
A. Yes, a SLBE can be determined unqualified if you are currently in litigation with the SLBE or if you have a preponderance of evidence of the SLBE's demonstratable inferior performance.
Q. For what other reasons might an SLBE be considered unqualified?
A. Reasons for which an SLBE might be considered unqualified are (but are not limited to) failure to meet licensing, bonding, insurance, financial, or experience requirements that are expected of any other non-SLBE subcontractor.

Emraan Hashmi may have earned himself the infamous "serial kisser" tag. But it isn't Emraan who is the real Kissing King of Bollywood, it's Aamir Khan.
The buzz is that Aamir will again lock lips with his leading lady. This time the target is Kareena Kapoor's lips. There are reportedly three kissing scenes in Three Idiots.
Given Aamir's long and lip smacking list of kisses, we delved into his filmography and came out with an exhaustive Aamir Khan kissography.

A section of the Pumpkinevine Nature trail will be closed for several months from the crossing of Ind. 13 at York Drive to C.R. 43.
Construction of the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail between York Drive and the end of the current trail east of the Dairy Queen in Middlebury will close a major gap in the trail. Unfortunately, that construction will create a work area along Ind. 13 and east to C.R. 43 that will make the trail inaccessible and unsafe for trail users.
As a result, the three organization responsible for the construction, Elkhart County Parks (the managing agency), Indiana Department of Transportation (the funding agency) and Walsh and Kelly (the construction firm), have decided to close the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail from the Ind. 13 to C.R. 43 from this Monday until construction is finished. Construction is scheduled to be finished by the end of May.
"The closing is necessary because trail construction is happening at the same time State Road 13 will be resurfaced from C.R. 14 past the Dairy Queen to State Road 4, making it impossible to have trail traffic exit onto State Road 13," said Scott Van Ommeran, superintendent of Elkhart County Parks.
"We do not want people continuing west past County Road 43 and getting to the end of the trail with nowhere to go," Van Ommeran said. "The liability of allowing people to blaze their own trail through the construction zone or across private property is too high. After discussion of alternatives to closing the trail, Elkhart County Parks, INDOT and Walsh and Kelly agreed that they could not provide temporary access across private property in order to keep the trail open during construction."

*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
§No electronic devices are allowed in order to conserve electric power. This includes hairdryers, electric shavers, hot-irons, laptops, iPads/iPods, portable/electronic games, etc. Mobile phones are allowed but cannot be charged. Please understand that reception may not be available.

Not since the City Beautiful movement of the late 19th century and its most prominent advocates (including landscape designer Frederick Law Olmstead, designer of New York's Central Park) have designers, policy-makers and the public embraced ambitious landscape designs for public spaces. Today, as the world's foremost designers are joining efforts for the task of creating new urban green spaces, a few challenges arise: How to incorporate hardscape with landscape? How to design attractive drought-tolerant landscaping? What are the best practices in outdoor lighting? And with those challenges come solutions that each of us can apply to our own private green spaces.
The following six projects represent the vanguard of thinking in outdoor design. The first three are already completed; the second three may never break ground, but represent visionary thinking nonetheless in the greening of public space.
The Elevated Park - High Line Park, New York City
Manhattan's famous High Line park (above) opened in 2009. It occupies more than one mile of a former elevated rail line.
The Pocket Park - Materials & Applications, Los Angeles
This small green space in Los Angeles (above) is technically private property, open in the daytime to the public. With a rotating schedule of outdoor design exhibitions, M&A serves as a park space for neighbors and an innovative hardscape studio for designers and architects. Made from a series of interlocking plates, this sunscreen by Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues shares its inspiration with modern ceiling lighting designs.

The Rooftop Park - City Hall, Chicago
Chicago was a leader of urban design 100 years ago with the advent of the skyscraper and it leads again today with rooftop parks popping up across the city. Among them, the Chicago Cultural Center, the Chicago Center for Green Technology and Millennium Park. Perhaps the most prominent sign of Chicago's all-in commitment to forward-thinking urbanization is the rooftop garden atop City Hall (above).
The Vertical Park - SkyFarm, Toronto
The SkyFarm (above) by designer Gordon Graff is a proposal to erect a 58 floor "agri-tower" in Toronto's Theatre District, intended to provide fresh, organic produce to the surrounding city with minimal carbon footprint.
Despite boasting some of the world's largest parks located within metropolitan boundaries, the City of Los Angeles ranks far behind other major U.S. cities in parkland per capita... Which leaves designers and developers (as well as this blogger) dreaming of expansive park projects in the horizontal city.
The Flyover park - Park 101, Los Angeles
A joint project between several different design firms, Park 101 (above) proposes to cover a section of the 101 freeway in downtown Los Angeles with a green lid, uniting the city's civic, cultural, transportation and historic centers with vital green space.
The Reclaimed Park - The Piggy Back Yard, Los Angeles
The Los Angeles River (yes, there's a river) has long been a target of reclamation projects intent on returning the notorious concrete viaduct to its natural state. The Piggy Back Yard (above) proposal transforms abandoned rail yards near downtown Los Angeles into a drought tolerant park and river flood basin.
As important as the landscape design is, it's only one step in a functioning outdoor space. Hardscape design and outdoor lighting is key to increasing access and safety. In the July/August 2011 issue of Monocle magazine, Christine Loh, CEO of the Hong Kong based think tank Civic Exchange, explained the need for reasonable lighting in city parks and streets: "Street lighting can obviously make people feel safer but it doesn't have to be bright, bright, bright." To minimize light pollution, both amateur and pro landscape designers are increasingly turning to dark sky outdoor lighting. The examples below are attractive but unobtrusive by day, and bright but not too bright by night.
Hinkley Luna Dark Sky 16" High Bronze Outdoor Wall Light
Hubbardton Forge Lightfall 13 1/2" High CFL Dark Sky Light
Not everyone is landscaping acres of reclaimed land or rooftops. Despite plot size, home garden or city park, the same general design principles will always apply... Use native and climate-specific flora when possible, let hardscape enhance the space without overpowering it and use lighting modestly for best results day and night.

Have you been looking for a way to incorporate contemporary gardens into your modern home decor? Well, Flora Grubb and other specialty shops provide lots of great ideas that double as artwork.
These small aeriums (above) have a "ship in a bottle" appeal. The're all unique, but typically feature tiny mosses, lichens, and tillandsias which all live happily together under glass. They have artists in the store handcrafting each one. If you want to make this a fun project for yourself, we also suggest using attractive glass containers, like this one (below) as a perfect way to display a variety of stylish succulents.
Fuller Clear Glass Document Box
In addition to the aeriums, Flora Grubb also makes plant "pockets" (below) that hang openly or against a wall. It's a great way to have an organized, yet beautiful mess of greenery. It's also a great way to apply plant life toward using vertical space.
Are you looking for a way to incorporate just a little bit of greenery, but in a more controlled manner? Try these "thigmotropes" (below). They're designed to be screwed into a wall and hold tillandsia plants. Just take them down to lightly water every once in a while.
As you incorporate more greenery into your decor, make sure to reap the full benefit of having plant life indoors and help circulate your fresh air using modern ceiling fans. This handsome fan (below) would do the trick.
Fanimation Torto Bronze Ceiling Fan
Succulent wall art is such a big trend right now. They're low maintenance and they look great. Although time consuming, and depending on the size, they're easy to make and could be a fun summer project.
The best part about succulent wall art is that they can be any size and work indoors or out. All you have to do for watering is spray them using a water bottle.
There are so many inventive ways to incorporate plant life into your modern decor, indoors or out. And many of them could also make fun DIY projects. Although, some are more simple than others, should you need help you could always refer to resources like Flora Grubb and other creatives.

Relaxing on your patio is the perfect way to spend these hot summer nights! Making your outdoors chic is as simple as adding bold pops of color. This ceramic stool is not only a beautiful piece of outdoor decor, but functional too. Lush greens, concrete fireplace, and large planters create a serene backdrop and really allow the colors to pop in this setting. Get the look of color with this sky blue glazed ceramic stool (below).

Other times, staying neutral and even all white is better. The slats covering this patio (above) create a dynamic linear effect while maintaining the natural aesthetic. Simple, modern outdoor furniture keeps any space clean and open. Create your outdoor chic space by choosing monochromatic pairings, like an all white dining set. These modern outdoor chairs (below) add interest, but do not visually take up a lot of space.
Zuo Gumdrop White Outdoor Dining Chairs
Keeping it all natural is another great way to create your chic outdoor patio. The element of fire in any outdoor space, along with natural modern outdoor lounge chairs creates a very cozy atmosphere. Perched high above the city, you could lounge in these chairs for hours and just take in the views.

The winners of the 2012 AIA Design Awards are presented in the May/June issue of CA Home + Design Magazine. Winners are either located in San Francisco or designed by local firms. These Bay area architects are given the spotlight for their innovative designs ranging from parking spaces recast as parks to an office that balances work and life.
Bar Agricole, designed by Aidlin Darling Design is located in San Francisco's industrial South of Market district. The design was inspired by the sustainable agricultural roots of the restaurant's artisanal food and cocktail menu. It's currently in the process of becoming LEED certified.
Track lighting is a great way to add an even distribution of light while creating a chic, urban aesthetic. It can be used in commercial settings or residential, scale being the largest difference. Check out this idea to get the look above.
Two Rail Adjustable Ceiling Fixture
The illustration below demonstrates the architect's sustainable strategies and the detailed planning involved from the ground up.
For example, there is a wood "hull" made from whiskey-barrel oak, which sits above the guests, giving intimacy and scale to the space while also providing openings for the sculptural light scoops. Bar tops, table tops and banquette seating (below) was made from reclaimed barn-beams.
Small pendant lighting is a great way to illuminate each table top without taking away from the gorgeous wooded surroundings. This mini pendant below is a great way to get this look.
Piper Satin Nickel Tech Mini Pendant
If you live in the Bay area, make sure to stop by and see this award-winning design. You can feast on some deliciously fresh food too!

As the new director of the McGoogan Library of Medicine, I follow eight outstanding individuals who served the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It is a privilege to follow Nancy Woelfl who led McGoogan for the last 26 years. Her leadership resulted in new programs and services, the recruitment and retention of nationally recognized library staff, and the growth of collections that meet UNMC user needs.
From my first campus visit in August, to meetings this week, I am inspired by the enthusiasm of the library staff who are excellent stewards of our collections and library resources. We are expanding our support for UNMC, the new Clinical Enterprise, and Nebraska residents in our education, research, and clinical missions. In the coming months, you will learn more about our curation of the Wolfensberger collection, support for e-learning, and the development of an institutional repository. At the same time, we will engage in conversations with students and faculty about the library's physical space. Since July and, under Marie Reidelbach's leadership, library staff had conversations with campus leaders, evaluated services at peer institutions, and moved forward on several new and exciting projects.
Finally, I want you to know that I am thrilled to be in Omaha. I am a native Midwesterner who grew up in rural northwestern Illinois. My Illinois winters prepared me for the polar vortex! Many people have asked me if I was familiar with Omaha prior to moving here. As it happens, my first trip to Omaha occurred when I was an infant on a visit to close family friends, which was followed by annual trips throughout my childhood. Like many school age children, I had to write a report on a state of my choosing. I chose Nebraska. I have always had a soft spot for Omaha even though our close family friends are now Hoosiers. I have worked at several academic health centers, including Northwestern University, Loyola University in Maywood, and Oregon Health and Science University. I also have a background working at libraries serving the general undergraduate and graduate programs of the University of Oregon and New York University. My most recent experience was serving as the Associate University Librarian for Content Management and Systems at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon.
Please feel free to ask me about Chuck, my weird cat; my excitement about Frank Thomas making it to the Baseball Hall of Fame; my adoration of goats; hatred of Oregon spiders; background in and love of history; organizing my epic lists of films I want to watch or books I want to read; love of college basketball; and my excitement about living closer to family and friends in the Midwest.
I look forward to meeting you!
Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com or at 559-7078.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The restoration of 19th century painted-glass windows was a leap of faith for congregants of Trinity Episcopal Church here.
But they successfully raised $18,000 through individual donations and the sale of items on eBay.
At 7 p.m. Saturday, April 13, the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir, under the direction of Dr. Dexter Criss, will celebrate "An Evening of Concert Spirituals and Ballads" at the church.
Admission is $15, and all proceeds benefit the window restoration.
Three of the south-facing 1866 windows were removed in early October 2012 by artisans from Rohlf's Stained & Leaded Glass Studio of Mt. Vernon, N.Y.
The windows were originally scheduled for re-installation last month, depending on the weather.
"As it turned out, it would have been nice to have the windows in place for Easter," said Keith Wills, chair of the fundraising/window-restoration ad-hoc committee at the church.
"With their own work schedule, they delayed it to April 15, again weather prevailing. They need the temperatures to be 40 degrees or above to re-install the windows."
The total project cost $51,000.
"We had $33,000," Wills said. "That meant we needed $18,000 to make up the difference. Father Colin (Belton) said it would be a leap of faith. We've had generous donations from individual members of the congregation. We're a retired congregation, mostly. There are some younger families."
John Jewell, a congregant, launched an eBay site where people could donate items to raise funds.
"It's devoted strictly for the church. I have donated a mantelpiece clock and some watches. Bids came from Germany, England and France. We had a donation of a guitar that brought in over $1,000," Wills said.
Items went for $15, $20, $25 and $150.
"It all helped bring in the money to make up the $18,000 difference. By the end of March 2013, we had all the money to pay for the windows. It's fantastic," he said.
Jewell was a godsend in Wills's estimation.
"He has really been the driving force of the site. He doesn't take any cut for having it up. That's just amazing. He has been a jewel in the truest sense. He's made it possible with the eBay site."
The church's historic windows were purchased by former congregants in memory of family members.
The ad-hoc committee will continue to raise money in hopes of receiving matching grants.
"We want to get some grant monies to do the rest of the windows," Wills said. "When we go to get grants, we can show we raised $51,000 for the three windows. We're serious. We're not fooling around looking for money."
Email Robin Caudell:firstname.lastname@example.com YOU GO WHAT: "An Evening of Concert Spirituals and Ballads" presented by the SUNY Plattsburgh Gospel Choir. WHEN: 7 p.m. Saturday, April 13. WHERE: Trinity Episcopal Church, 18 Trinity Place, Plattsburgh. ADMISSION: $15; cash or checks accepted. All proceeds benefit the efforts to restore Trinity Episcopal's historic painted-glass windows. PHONE: For more information, call the church at 561-2244.

Norway is lauded as the rare example of a major oil and gas exporting country that has managed to avoid the "resource curse." A new study by PESD Associate Director Mark Thurber and Consulting Research Associate Benedicte Tangen Istad looks more closely at the Norwegian petroleum experience and the role of national oil company Statoil in it. The reality is messy and political but nonetheless an impressive story of how Norway built a vibrant domestic oil and gas industry on the back of national champion Statoil and a robust system of governance that could curb Statoil's excesses as needed at a few key junctures.
