Don't Let DNFB Cripple Hospital Cash Flow
Success keys
"In some cases, the record is outstanding due to other reasons, such as a problem with a duplicate account number, or there is a question regarding a charge error," Grzybowski adds. "Whatever the reason, it should be classified in a category and not lumped together for one sum number. The HIM department should work in conjunction with the business office to agree on a method of classifying, tracking, and reporting this data on a regular basis to the C-Suite."
How else can healthcare leaders ensure their DNFB rates improve? Gryzbowski says leaders can start by:
- Investing in an HIM operational assessment to identify causes of DNFB and possible solutions
- Putting an ongoing tracking mechanism in place to monitor DNFB
- Ensuring the Patient Financial Services (PFS) department and HIM teams agree how DNFB will be defined and measured
- Enforcing record-completion policies
- Ensuring that deficiency analysis takes place before coding (within the first 24 hours post discharge) to identify missing data earlier in the lifecycle of record processing, and to improve coder productivity to avoid them spending time searching for missing information
"Those facilities that have undergone a thorough HIM and Revenue Cycle operational assessment can identify the areas that need improvement," Gryzbowski adds. "And by implementing various changes in process, adjusting staffing, or providing better analytical tracking of the DNFB, problems can be avoided with the proper solutions."

Congress Keeps our Troops in the DarkTweet
June 8, 2006
During my first tour in Iraq, my team of four had one set of ANPVS-14 night vision goggles between us. They were passed from driver to night security constantly. On my second tour, we were provided two sets for our vehicle. Things seemed to be improving. But the recent move by the Senate that removed funding for "Night Vision Equipment" to fund the troubled V-22 Osprey (pdf), still baffles me.
Of all the time I spent in Iraq, I never saw an Osprey in action. Recent reports say it will not be in use in Iraq until 2008. It's hard not to assume that defense contractors are still dominating the ear of Congress, without listening to what our troops need right now.
POGO recently sent a letter to all members of Congress outlining this change in spending. It upsets me to think about our men and women in the armed services sitting in the dark when there is a clear way to help them. Let Congress know you want the needs of troops to come first.

The truck rode rough all the way from Corpus Christi to Fort Worth.
Everything went smooth. I interacted with an employee and the general manager, both of which were very helpful and knowledgeable. I've rented from this location before and, if the need should arise, I will again. Thanks.
Great service.
more stock and faster customer service
Need to improve the parking lot. Too many chug holes. other wise the location is fine.
Assistant Manager was great unfortunately the other man working was not very helpful and quite rude.
Sold my items without me being told..they have my email address and phone number talk to michelle gave update information
Experienced problem with terrible windshield wipers during rain travel! Felt very unsafe driving the Interstate!!! Recommend changing the blades on some frequency!
Fast easy check in and great help hooking up trailer.
The location where we were finally able to get a truck was great!!! The entire experience before and after that was terrible!!! Went online and reserved a truck only to find that location was closed for the day in spite of the fact that the website said it was opened!!!! Finally got to a location that had a vehicle and the man that helped called the customer service and let them know what had occurred and was assured that a supervisor would call me on the next business day, never happened so I called back myself only to talk to one of your customer service people that had no idea what customer service entailed!!Assured the young lady that I would never again use or recommend your Company to anyone!!!! I don't expect a follow up from anyone as that appears to be the way you folks operate. Got my money, no longer have to deal with me!!!!!
Good experience
Wrong size tire that had already been flat once and hardly any tread bUT was left on. Trailer leaked and ruined my things.
Such helpful staff, including the manager, gentleman who works outside, and Cassie. :)
Very friendly helpful staff.
The beginning of my contact was great. The agents in corpus worked with me got a great deal on truck and storage. The people were friendly and helpful
Installing a vehicle washing bay. I hated driving away in a dirty vehicle.
Typical drop off and and payment finalization.
They have a large inventory of vehicles and supplies. It was easy to book a short notice move. They were friendly, fast, affordable and helpful.
I was told I could pay with cash, so I pulled $ from the bank. Get there and they want to swipe my card, asked why and was told not to worry they weren't charging me anything, girl then says "oh your card says insufficient funds", yeah cause I pulled out cash! Was charged by my bank for this, then was told couldn't rent without money on card, then was told I would be charged even if I didn't pick up truck......worst service ever! Luckily I was able to run to bank and put money back in account....but it was a horrible experience and two of the employees gave me wrong info!
This is the best location to rent from. Organized, efficient and fast. It took ten minutes to pick up my rental trailer and about 3 minutes to drop the trailer and get my paper work. I have rented from this location twice and same results.
My truck was not ready when I arrived. It was dirty and in poor condition when I got it. I was told if I needed to keep it for an extra day I could pay the extra day when I turned it in. I was not told that I had to call to let them know I was going to keep it. I got a phone call from U-Haul asking why I did not turn in the truck. The girl that called was not polite or helpful. I tried to explain that to her but she just voiced her displeasure with me because they needed the truck right then. Overall, not a good experience. I would not recommend based on this visit.
No suprises.
the 2 employees I spoke were not very nice. I was never informed of having to bring a credit card, just told they would take our school check. the manager was not any better. she was rude to our people that went to pick up the truck. very dissatisifed
Your staff said that I did not need tail lights on the car dolly to tow a car at night. Staff at another location said I did.
These people were professional and very nice to work with, they went out of their way to make our experience easy.

Applicants have discovered a method of reproducibly fabricating SEED devices having an enhanced contrast ratio by adjusting the thickness of a cap layer in relation to the reflector stacks to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. Specifically, after growth of the reflector stack and the quantum wells, the optical thickness of the region above reflector stacks is measured without breaking vacuum, and based on such measurement a cap layer is grown of sufficient thickness to form a Fabry-Perot cavity for light of desired wavelength. The result is a device with enhanced contrast between the "on" and "off" states sufficiently so that the state can be directly read without differential processing.
1. A method for making an electro-optical device of the type comprising a reflector stack, a quantum well region overlying the reflector stack and a cap layer overlying the quantum well region comprising the steps of:
providing a substrate,
growing a reflector stack and a quantum well region on the substrate,
measuring the optical thickness of the region above the reflector stack, and
growing said cap layer above said quantum well region of optical thickness sufficient when combined with said measured optical thickness to form a Fabry-Perot cavity with respect to said reflector stack.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said electro-optical device is a SEED.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said electro-optical device is a surface emitting laser.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein said reflector stack and said quantum well region are grown in a reduced pressure growth chamber, at elevated temperature, and

5. A method for making a SEED device having input and output SEED diodes with enhanced contrast ratio, comprising the steps of

removing the resulting structure from said growth chamber and permitting said structure to cool in a reduced pressure ambient;
measuring the optical thickness of said cooled structure in reduced pressure ambient by illuminating said structure with light and measuring the reflected light spectrum;

6. The method of claim 5 wherein:

said additional material comprises a layer of aluminum gallium arsenide doped with n-type impurities.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein said growth chamber is an MBE growth chamber.
This invention relates to optical devices and, in particular, to a method for making an electro-optical device, such as a self-electrooptical device (SEED), which permits fabrication of reproducible Fabry-Perot cavities.
Self-electrooptical effect devices offer considerable promise in the field of optoelectronic processing. Because of the low energy requirements of quantum well components, such devices can receive optical inputs and provide optical outputs with a high degree of efficiency. Moreover they can be combined in simple circuits to perform useful functions, such as optical switching, with minimal conductive paths, reduced parasitic capacitance and few line termination problems. For a survey of such devices and their applications, see D. A. B. Miller, "Quantum Well Optoelectronic Switching Devices," International Journal of High Speed Electronics, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 19-46 (1990).
A conventional SEED device described in the above-cited Miller article comprises a pair of quantum well PIN diodes tonned on a quantum well reflector stack. The two diodes are connected in series to a voltage source and separate beams of light are shone through the respective diodes to the reflector stacks where the beams are reflected back. The output of either diode can be modulated by vanation in either the optical input to the other diode or by variation in the voltage to the node between the diodes. Thus the device provides both optical input and optical output.
One shortcoming of SEEDs for use in optoelectronic switching is the low contrast ratio in the reflected beam intensity. Even in the "off" condition the device will partially reflect an incident beam, and the contrast ratio between a reflected "off" beam and a reflected "on" beam is typically sufficiently low (approximately 3) that the state of the device must be read by differential techniques. The "on" beam and the "off" beam must be compared in order to determine the condition of the switching device. This differential approach requires twice the laser power and twice the number of signal processing components than would be required for direct reading.
Applicants have discovered a method of reproducibly fabricating SEED devices having an enhanced contrast ratio by adjusting the thickness of a cap layer in relation to the reflector stacks to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. Specifically, after growth of the reflector stack and the quantum wells, the optical thickness of the region above reflector stacks is measured without breaking vacuum, and based on such measurement a cap layer is grown of sufficient thickness to form a Fabry-Perot cavity for light of desired wavelength. The result is a device with contrast between the "on" and "off" states sufficiently enhanced that the state can be directly read without differential processing.
The advantages, nature and various additional features of the invention will appear more fully upon consideration of the illustrative embodiments now to be described in detail in connection with the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross section of a preferred SEED device useful in explaining the inventive process/and the problem to which it is directed;
FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram showing the interconnections in a SEED integrated circuit;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the steps in making a SEED device in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of apparatus useful in practicing the method of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a graphical illustration showing the spectrum of light reflected by a typical workpiece; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic circuit diagram showing a simplified switching arrangement permitted as a result of the enhanced contrast obtained by the invention.
It is to be understood that these drawings are for purposes of illustrating the concepts of the invention and, except for graphs, are not to scale.
Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a schematic cross section of a preferred SEED device useful in explaining the invention and the problem to which it is directed. In essence, the device of FIG. 1 comprises a pair of quantum well PIN diodes 11 and 12 formed on a reflector stack 13 on a substrate 14. Each PIN diode comprises a cap layer 15 of n-doped semiconducting material, an intrinsic quantum well region 16 and an underlying layer 17 of p-doped semiconducting material.
Contact with the buried Players is via implanted p-regions 21. Since the quantum well regions 16 typically have a thickness in excess of a micrometer, the p-layers 17 are typically buried at least a micrometer from the uppermost continuous semiconductor surface (here the surface under n-layers 15). Preferably, the buried p-layers 17 extend laterally beyond the edge of the respective overlying n-layers 15 so that the contact with the buried player can be laterally displaced from the active region by a distance d exceeding a micrometer. The p+ layers 17 are advantageously terminated and isolated by proton implantation regions 18.
Interconnections between the diodes are effected by metallization layer 19, leaving window openings 20 for providing optical access to each diode. An antireflection coating 25 is advantageously disposed over the upper surface to enhance optical efficiency.
The device of FIG. 1 is typically made of direct bandgap semiconductor using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the preferred embodiment the substrate is gallium arsenide, the buried layer of semiconducting material is p-doped aluminum gallium arsenide, the overlying quantum well region comprises alternating layers of aluminum gallium arsenide and gallium arsenide, and the cap layer is n-doped aluminum gallium arsenide. The reflector stack can be alternate layers of aluminum arsenide and aluminum gallium arsenide as described in Chirovsky et al., "Batch-Fabricated Symmetric Self-Electro-Optic Effect Devices," OSA Proceedings on Photonic Switching, Vol. 3, p. 2 (Optical Society of America, 1989).
In operation, the structure of FIG. 1 can be electrically connected to a voltage source Vo as shown in FIG. 2, and optical input beams P in11 and P in12 of wavelength λ are applied to diodes 11 and 12, respectively. The reflector stack 13 reflects back respective output beams P out11 and P Out12. The optical output of either diode can be modulated by varying the optical input to the other diode. Alternatively, the optical output can be modulated by applying a modulating voltage to the node between the two diodes. In a switching device, the switched beam, say P out12, is switched between two intensities, a high intensity corresponding to an "on" state and a low intensity corresponding to an "off" state.
In order to maximize the contrast between the "on" state and the "off" state the device of FIG. 1 is ideally fabricated so that the optical path between the top surface and the effective surface of the mirror tonned by stack 13 forms a Fabry-Perot cavity for light of wavelength λ. However, such devices cannot be reproducibly grown using prior techniques. A Fabry-Perot cavity requires control of the thickness to 0.2%. Current MBE technology permits control of thickness to only about 1%. Thus there is too much likely variation (standard deviation) to permit reproducible fabrication of devices, particularly numerous devices in large integrated arrays.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the steps in making a seed device in accordance with the invention. The first step shown in 3A is to provide a substrate and grow the reflector stack 13 and the quantum well region 16. This is typically done in an MBE machine with the wafer at elevated temperature and disposed in a low pressure ("vacuum") ambient.
The next step shown in 3B is to measure the optical thickness (nt) of the region above the reflector without breaking vacuum. This measurement is preferably made by transporting the wafer in vacuum from the MBE machine, permitting the wafer to cool, illuminating the wafer with broad band light and measuring the reflected light spectrum. Advantageously the wafer is transferred from the MBE machine to a trolley in a transfer tube in order to permit the wafer to cool without disturbing the ovens of the MBE machine. The wafer is positioned near a window in the transfer tube so that a spectrophotometer beam can be shone upon the wafer and a reflectivity spectrum can be obtained.
Preferred apparatus for making this in-situ reflectivity measurement is shown in FIG. 4 to comprise a wide band light source 40 and a spectrophotometer 41 each coupled to a bifurcated light guide 42 for a) directing light from source 40 onto the wafer 43 and b) directing light reflected from wafer 43 to spectrophotometer 41. A lens 44 can be positioned with focal points on the guide and wafer. The wafer is positioned within transfer tube 45 and viewed through a window (not shown). Advantageously light source 40 can be a tungsten-halogen bulb and spectrophotometer 41 can be an Oriel #77200 spectrometer conveniently equipped with an Oriel "Instaspec" diode array detector for interfacing with a personal computer 46 to provide a spectral plot of the reflected light.
The optical thickness (nt) and the additional optical thickness Δ(nt) required to produce Fabry-Perot resonance can be calculated from the spectral plot. FIG. 5 is a representative spectral plot of reflection percent (R%) as a function of wavelength. If the optical thickness of the grown layer is nt-Δ(nt), the Fabry-Perot cavity will resonant at a wavelength λ' which is shorter than the designed resonant wavelength λ. The additional optical thickness needed is Δ(nt)=m(λ-λ')/2.
The next step shown in FIG. 3C is to grow additional material of proper optical thickness to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. This is preferably done by returning the workpiece to the MBE growth chamber, heating the workpiece to growth temperature, and growing a cap layer 15 of n-doped aluminum gallium arsenide of thickness ##EQU1## where n' is the optical index of the n-doped material. Refined calculations can also account for loss of GaAs from the surface during processing (less than about 200 Å). It should also be noted that a portion of cap layer 15 can be grown prior to the measuring step of FIG. 3B so that the thickness of the cap 15 is appropriately augmented in step 3C.
The advantage of achieving Fabry-Perot resonance by steps 3B and 3C is that resonance can be achieved even with MBE equipment accurate to 1%. The additional thickness necessary to achieve resonance is at most ##EQU2## (about 700 ↑ for λ=850 nm). A 1% variation for this thin layer is inconsequential. In addition, the n+ cap normally specified for the top of a SEED is 600-1000 Å. Increasing this the cap thickness to 1700 Å is acceptable, since optical absorption for thin n+ layers is not a problem. If the control of the initial layer thickness is accurate to 1% as in a typical MBE process, only about 100 Å additional thickness is needed.
As shown in FIG. 3D, the final step is to finish the device. This can be done in the conventional manner since the cap layer is fully compatible with conventional processing steps.
The fabrication and structure of the invention can be understood in greater detail by consideration of the following specific example. The exemplary structure can be conveniently fabricated by using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow the layers for the reflector stack and the diodes on a semiconductor substrate. The first step is to provide a substrate 14 of undoped gallium arsenide and to grow the layers for the reflector stack. The reflector sack 13 is preferably grown as plural pairs of AlAs and Alx Ga1-x as layers topped with a relatively thicker layer of Alx Ga1-x As. As a specific example, the stack can comprise 15 paired layers of AlAs having thickness 723 angstroms and Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As having thickness 599 angstroms. The top layer of Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As is undoped in order to keep dopants from the reflector layers and has thickness of half wavelength, e.g. 1198 angstroms, in order to minimize interaction with light passing through.
The next step is to grow on the reflector stack the layers required for the PIN diodes 11, 12 comprising the buried p-region is preferably grown as a layer of p-doped Alx Ga1-x As, and can be a 5000 angstrom layer of Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As doped with p-impurities to a concentration of 5�1018 cm-3.
The quantum well structure 16 is preferably grown on the p-region as a sandwich structure comprising a buffer layer of Alx Ga1-x As, a series of alternating barrier layers (Aly Ga1-y As) and well layers (GaAs), followed by an upper buffer layer. In the example, a buffer layer of 500 angstroms of undoped Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As is grown on the player 17, followed by 71 pairs of 35 angstrom Al.sub..30 Ga.sub..70 As and 100 angstrom GaAs. The upper buffer is 200 angstroms of undoped Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As .
After the growth of the quantum well structure the workpiece is removed from the MBE growth chamber, cooled to room temperature and the opticalthickness above reflecting stack is measured as described in relation to FIG. 3B, above. After measurement, the workpiece is returned to the work chamber and an n+ cap layer, which can be Al.sub..11 Ga.sub..89 As doped with n impurities to a concentration of 5�1018, is grown to the thickness required to form a Fabry-Perot cavity as described in connection with FIG. 3C.
The workpiece is then subjected to the desired finishing steps. After the various layers have been grown, the next step is to form isolation regions 18 between successive active regions by proton isolation implant. This is effected by covering the surface with photoresist, photolithographically opening windows over the regions to be isolated, and implanting protons (hydrogen ions) at several implant energies to compensate the acceptors in the buried Player. The implant is followed by a rapid thermal anneal to optimize the isolation. Details of this isolation process are set forth in Pearton, "Ion Implantation for Isolation of Ill-V semiconductors", Materials Science Reports, Vol. 4, p. 315 (1990).
The next step is to provide electrical contact regions 21 to the buried p-layer. This is accomplished by ion implantation of p-type impurities. The surface is covered with photoresist, windows are opened over the desired contact regions and p-type impurity such as Be is implanted at several implant energies to assure a conducting path from the surface to the buried layer 17. The Be is annealed by rapid thermal annealing. Details of this process are described in Anholt et al., "Ion Implantation into Gallium Arsenide", Journal of Applied Physics, Vol. 64, p. 3429 (1988).
The final steps involve isolating the diodes from one another and forming metal contacts and interconnections. The layer 15 is patterned, as by photolithographic etching, to isolate diodes 11 and 12. N-type Ohmic contacts 22, such as NiGeAu contacts, are made with the n-layer. Similarly p-type ohmic contacts 23 such as Au-Be are made with the player 17 via contact regions 21. Thus both the n-layer and the player are contacted from the same surface. An insulating film 24 such as silicon nitride is deposited and patterned as shown, and a metal interconnect layer 19 such as successive layers of titanium, platinum and gold is deposited over the insulating film in order to connect the diodes in series as shown in FIG. 2.
Because this process reproducibly produces SEED devices of enhanced contrast, one can form arrays of high contrast SEED devices for optical memory units with greatly simplified circuitry. An example of such a circuit is shown in FIG. 6. In the FIG. 6 circuit the first SEED diode D1, which acts as the input diode, is serially connected with resistive means R between VD1 (9 volts) and ground. The node A between D1 and R is connected to the gate of transistor T1 in a single stage amplifier formed by transistors T1 and T2 so that an input beam IN to D1 effectively turns ON the second SEED diode D2. A READ beam directed onto D2 will be reflected as a high intensity beam corresponding to the ON condition. In the absence of an IN beam to D1, the reflected beam would be low intensity. The contrast ratio between the high and low reflected beams is greater than 10. This circuit uses approximately one-half the number of components of corresponding differential circuitry for performing the same function.
It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative of only a few of the many possible specific embodiments of the invention. For example, while the invention has been described in the context of fabricating a SEED device, it is clear that it is useful in the fabrication of other optical devices (such as surface emitting lasers) where quantum well structures are grown over reflecting stacks. Moreover, while the invention has been described in the context of the preferred gallium arsenide materials system, other materials systems such as indium gallium arsenide, indium gallium arsenide phosphide and gallium antimonide can also be used. Thus, numerous and varied other arrangements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

(poster for the 2007 film This is England)
From fun loving fatties with bowl hairdo's and baggy jeans, snorting whizz at the town hall discos in 'spring', to becoming part of the loved up masses as they batter E's with thousands of new brothers and sisters in fields, forests & factories of England during the 'summer' of love.
Gazza's tears. Hubble's launch. Saddam's invasion. Mandela's release. This is 1990. This is England. And Lol, Woody, Shaun, Milky, Smell, Gadget, Harvey, Kell, Trev and Combo are back for the final chapter of Shane Meadows' multi award-winning landmark series, which has started shooting in Sheffield.
It's two years on since the less-than-festive Christmas of '88, with some of the gang embracing the new decade with more gusto than others. But a lot can happen in a year, and in true This is England style, the second summer of love soon gives way to a winter of discontent.
Shane Meadows says: "We will see an enormous transformation in the lives of our cast over these final four stories as Shaun writes his final chapter with the gang he loves."
Piers Wenger, Channel 4 Head of Drama, says: "We might feel like we've grown up with Lol, Woody, Shaun and the gang but what Shane has planned for them in these final four parts will ensure that they are in our hearts forever."
This is England '90 is written by Shane Meadows and Jack Thorne, directed by Shane Meadows and produced by Mark Herbert and Bekki Wray-Rogers. The Warp Films production shoots on location in and around Sheffield.
The 4 x 60 minute series was commissioned by Piers Wenger, Channel 4 Head of Drama, with Roberto Troni Commissioning Editor.
This is England '90 will TX on Channel 4 in 2015.

Katy Perry – The One That Got Away [MUSIC VIDEO]
The One That Got Away is the sixth single off of her third album, Teenage Dream.
The One That Got Away is the sixth single off of her third album, Teenage Dream.
Despite what has been all over the internet, tomorrow nights People's Choice Awards will not be Katy Perry's first public appearance since her split from Russell Brand.
I hear they're going to change the name of Pop Music to Katy Perry music - that is how much Katy Perry dominates the radio right now. After her divorce, she'll have some free time on her hands...and some heartbreak. Why shouldn't she channel that into country music? Check out Katy's demo for country/pop singer Jessie James called "Bullet".
Katy Perry and Russell Brand are no strangers to the Divorce Rumors. Not helping those rumors are the fact that the two spent Christmas apart and a photo of Russell not wearing his wedding ring!
Rihanna's Hit Song "We Found Love" may be a personal message to herself to find love in the new year.
This weekend at the MTV Europe Awards Katy Perry won for Best Live Act. But it wasn't any performance by Katy that got the web buzzing, it was her tight fitting dress.
Oh, how I do love to sing along to Katy Perry! Ummm, just not on public transportation, at 8 o'clock in the morning, while wearing a Discman.
I love this guy's enthusiasm but, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he may have gotten some of the words wrong.
Pop Divas Katy Perry and Lady Gaga may have a feud brewing over mermaids.
Though she's known for her bubblegum pop songs, 'California Gurls' singer Katy Perry showed off her more serious side in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.
Every once in awhile, you run across someone who you just can't help feel sorry for. Case in point; Kathy Beth Terry. She has set up a fan page for herself on Facebook. But alas, NO ONE was clicking her 'LIKE' button. When we saw this video of poor nerdy Kathy, we thought we'd help her out.
When I was younger, I thought Peter Gabriel was cool and I owned all the Muppet Movie Soundtracks (on vinyl). I don't think either of those could be classified as an obsession, though. Jack Moore likes Katy Perry...a lot. Yes, I think it's safe to say Jack Moore is definitely obsessed with Katy Perry.
Before the Royal Wedding, Katy Perry said if she wasn't invited she would crash it. I don't know if Katy was a party crasher but she got into the spirit of the royal wedding -- by getting her nails manicured with ten photos of Prince William.

Reuters: Snowden Documents Could Be 'Worst Nightmare' For U.S.Submitted by emalvini on Sat, 07/13/2013 - 13:15
BUENOS AIRES | Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:50am EDT
(Reuters) - Fugitive former U.S. spy contractor Edward Snowden controls dangerous information that could become the United States' "worst nightmare" if revealed, a journalist familiar with the data said in a newspaper interview.
Glenn Greenwald, the Guardian journalist who first published the documents Snowden leaked, said in a newspaper interview published on Saturday that the U.S. government should be careful in its pursuit of the former computer analyst.

That might be on a topic's facets that are even worse to know
That might be on a topic's facets that are even worse to know about than that, like:
the actual current state of affairs of the two major western economies - U.S. and E.U., which, granted, is only old news for us - but, ALSO, for "new interesting stuff"...
... what are the plans of next steps for today's western rulers AGAINST their peoples AND/OR against the other eastern players - aka "BRICS".
"Cyril" pronounced "see real". I code stuff.
"To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous." -- Confucius
What on earth makes you think
What on earth makes you think the NSA has information on any of that?
The NSA are a bunch of boffins, not spooks. Snowden probably has more info on, say, people the US has been spying on and how they do it and to what extent, but the NSA is just an earpiece for various agencies and connected plutocrats. They don't even know who authorizes their snooping.
Dear Ball---
It's pretty easy why I think "the NSA has information" on a lot of events, simply because they can dredge up phone calls, conversations, emails, of literally anyone they want to---any CIA, any FBI, any Law Enforcement, any politician they want to.
Think, Ball, Think!
9/11 would blow the whole LID off
That's for sure. In one nano-second the American public would wake up. The realization of it all would put them into MAJOR SHOCK. All of a sudden, mothers & fathers, wives, would realize their loved ones were killed in these "wars" for nothing. They would realize that all the innocent Iraqi families were decimated out of greed and power for oil, for war machine wealth, for whatever.
All of a sudden, then, after reality would hit, the politicians, the elites, the banksters, even the Big Media accomplices, and the whole lot of them, would be scrambling for their very lives. It would not be pretty. It would have to be done as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the Super Tyrant would do something awful, so the MILITARY would have to wake up first & foremost. There would have to be instant rebellion. The GOOD GENERALS would have to take control from the Power-mongers in D.C. at that point, until order could be established.
It may go much deeper than building 7
I'm sure there is still garble way back to JFK, MLK, RFK Iran Contra, Waco, OK City, etc...
Ding-Ding -Ding..........Time to wake up merica!!!
Snowden wins big time.
Problem I have
I think absolutely ALL WRITTEN and documented evidence of 9/11 went down with building seven and we could only be left with verbal confessions that may or may not hold. Our fate is in God's hands.
I'm down with that.
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
I'm down with that.

My sink is the usual hard plastic bowl dropped into a particleboard/melamine counter. Cheap, ugly, and a maintenance nightmare (the edge where the two meet always accumulates dirt and moisture), these types of sinks serve no one, except the builder who put them in cheap and fast.
Now look at what a little bit of design can do – I found a web page on glass bowl sinks (officially called "Glass Vessel Sinks"). Now imagine that in a bathroom – much more stylish, less maintenance (no edge for water to get trapped in), and from what I can tell, priced competitively (they have a bowl at only $29.00, which I think is the same price point as an ordinary sink).
Looking at their products, it's obvious you can get a nice design for the same price as a bad one. It works better, looks better, and frankly, makes you feel better looking at it. THAT is the benefit of good design…
…and what everyone should be striving for – after all, our bathrooms depend on it.

James J. Jackson from Taylor Mills, Kentucky
To Tom Raper Company,
I am a new customer of Tom Raper out of Richmond, IN. I was reluctant at first in purchasing a camper. Spending weekends in a confined area with my crazy family did not seem fun to me. However, through the persuasive ways of my wife, I decided to buy a travel trailer through you all.
Mark Casebold is the sales rep who went out of his way to help me and my family become campers. Mark was fun and energetic. He was able to solve any fears I had of campers.
Charlie from service was most helpful. This kind gentlemen took his time to explain EVERYTHING I needed to know about my camper. Charlie is the guru of campers!
There was also one other man I want to thank but can't remember his name. He was from Service and installed the brake controller on my truck. I enjoyed talking to him about coon huntin' and his daughter. Again, this person went over and beyond to answer all questions I had about hauling a camper.
Thank you for all your help!
The Jackson family is fully enjoying their 19ft. camper. Looking forward to doing business in the future.
The Barneys from Reynoldsburg, Ohio
I was in the store about six months ago and talked with salesman Dan Eggleston. I told him we were not close to doing anything. Unlike the other salesmen we dealt with at other dealerships Dan still spent a lot of time with us answering all our questions. When we got a little closer we know Dan was our guy. We were blown away with our treatment of the whole staff at Tom Raper in London" When we left we felt like they were all family.
Mr. Barney
Edward and Norma Nikkola from Fairborn, Ohio
Dear Tom Raper RVs,
All of your people were very professional, helpful and friendly. We traded the 31' Hi-Lo we bought from you on the Dutchmen Kodiak we bought today!
We especially appreciated the pick-up in Ohio and the transport to your Richmond location. That really took a load off our minds. Thank you so much.
Rusty Hensley from Ricmond
Dear Tom Raper RVs,
I wanted to thank you for donating the 30 tickets for the kids to go to the NASCAR Truck Race. They had a great time and were very appreciative.

Dennis & Donna French Kennebunk from Lyman, ME
Hi Tim, we made it home safely despite the weather !! Wanted to thank you and all the folks at Tom Raper for the excellent service and negotiations throughout the sales experience. For us purchasing via an internet process was a nervous experience - but, you made it easy and the promises, and the 5th wheel, were as discussed and actually beat all our expectaions !! What made it an even greater experience is the level of service we received after the purchase. Please pass along a huge thanks to Mike for the walk-thru and all the extra tips. Also, pass on the thanks to the service dept on helping me with the hookup of the 5th wheel to my truck the next day - the weather was not the best but they did not hesitate to take the time to spend with us and to provide more tips and recommendations ! The wife and I have owned tents, pop-ups, trailers , 5th wheels , and motorhomes in our 37 years of campings and RV'ing - this was one of our best experiences in the buying process - thanks ! Heartland Big Country Rv'ers !
Mr.Tilson from Greens Fork, IN
"Kim is a good salesmen and I live around here. My wife loved it so we got it."
Mr. Tilson
Tom and Becky Smallridge from Chillicothe, OH
Three years ago you helped us obtain our first motorhome, a B Plus. You were very patient with us, you listened to what we wanted, you answered all our questions, you treated us like family and we knew you were a phone call away if we had any problems after our purchase. Recently we decided to upgrade to a Class A motorhome so we looked you up at the RV Show in Columbus. You walked us through the A.C.E. and we knew this is what we wanted. Over the past several weeks we have kept in touch with you and again you showed us the same great treatment as the first time. You worked with us through the frigid cold to help us obtain our new RV. Thank you.
If we ever do upgrade again or know of someone wanting a camper, trailer or a motorhome we will most definitely recommend that they talk to you.
Thanks again Tim.
Betty & Kenny Wise from Hanover, IN
Dear Mr. Dargie (Service Manager),
I just wanted to let you know how great the people are, working for you. From Bob Goldberg (Salesperson), he made us feel special and adressed our needs and got us a great deal.
The person that did our financing, he was so friendly and helpful.
The girl I think her name was Beth and the boy helping her at the service desk - they were very pleasant and were working hard to take care of everyone's needs.
The boys who work in the service center gave us our walk through, answered all our concerns and were very friendly. They worked hard to install the awnings over the slide outs, the hitch, and load bars. We had an electrical problem that they worked until they got it right.
I think all of the boys and girls that were involved in this deal are a great bunch of people. We thank all of you so much.

The Vampire Diaries Caption Contest 81by TV Fanatic Staff at . Comments
A hearty thank you goes out to all readers who submitted a Caption Contest entry this week. We were thrilled with the replies!
But we laughed the hardest at the entry sent in by Lou, which is posted below and which captures Klaus in a bored state of game-playing.
Thanks again to all and remember to play each and every week!
Pin the tail on the werewolf is not as funny as I thought!
Klaus: Oh I see. Yah, your worried vampire look is not really different from your Hey it's Tuesday look.
klaus:i have to sit here and watch my sister twirl around in dresses while im still running from a vampire slayer even though im the big bad hybrid that kills everyone abd worst of all my glass is empty and know one is bring me anymore to drink i mean does anyone know how to properly treat a hybrid around here come one im bored and im listening to my annoying sister god i wish i could just kill her again.
The boring life of the only hybrid.
Klaus: I'm Sexy and i know it!
Klaus: Now this sucks... I am the badest ripperin town and on top of that a hybrid, not to mention gorgeous and I am still not the most popular Vampire at this club
Klaus: Must.. not.. Look.. At the ass that's right behind me.
Sucks that the Big bad immortal and all Klaus is afraid of someone.
Stephan, my cup is empty!
So what you're saying is that I have a sister?
Bored. The new highly anticipated fragrance inspired by the delectable hybrid, Klaus, from the Vampire Diaries.

Local veterans groups and residents gathered at Hicksville Middle School Veterans Memorial Park recently to honor brave servicemen and woman, past and present. William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211 hosted Hicksville's annual Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11.
The ceremonies began with the pledge and national anthem sung by Hicksville High School student Cassie Pursoo, accompanied by trumpeter Conner Hoelzer. Monsignor Thomas Costa from Our Lady of Church in Hicksville gave the invocation.

On Nov. 10, a dedication ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of a beautiful new two-story house in Hicksville. However, while new dwellings are an ordinary occurrence on Long Island, this one was unique and special in a way that very few are.
The house at 77 Thorman Ave. was built in memory of Navy Lieutenant and posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael P. Murphy, a Long Island native who tragically died in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2005. However, this house represents more than just the dedicated service of a man to his country; it represents the beginning of a new life full of hope for a brother-in-arms and his family as well.

Football was Mike Torrellas' heart and soul. He also liked a good Turkey Bowl.
Unfortunately, the Hicksville Crusaders co-founder wasn't able to witness the program's inaugural event, which took place Saturday, Nov. 8.
Torrellas passed away suddenly last December due to a blood clot, but the spirit and drive of the man who wore the number 53 and tragically passed at that age still surrounds the Crusaders football program.

The Long Island Fight for Charity will be hosting its 11th annual Charity Boxing Event on Nov. 24 at the Hilton in Melville. Among the 20 volunteers putting up their fists for funds will be Hicksville business owner Mell Goldman, who will be fighting under the nickname "The Kid."
Goldman is the President of All Boro Cleaning Services. He stated that he was enticed at the opportunity and wanted to contribute to charity.

"Exfoliation is the key to gorgeous skin: It allows other products to penetrate better while minimizing pores and brightening all over," says Vargas. Bonus? "It also keeps fine lines at bay by increasing skin's collagen production, helping to increase skin's elasticity," leaving you with a fresh, clean and ready-to-be-treated bod. We're big fans of Ole Henriksen Rub n' Buff Salt Scrub, which is mixed with soothing lavender oil and lemongrass so it won't irritate sensitive skin.

This powder is just O.K. & that is all! If you have very dry skin, beware. This powder is extremely drying and emphasizes dry patches extremely. I looks good when first applied (I found the puff it comes with is actually the best way to apply it), but quickly fades and creases. The packaging is pretty and it is fairly cheap but don't waste your money.

This powder emphasised every little dry part of my face and made it look terrible. I usually use Rimmel Stay Matte & it's far superior, plus better value for money. I only tried this as it gets great reviews by Paula Begoun (cosmetics cop) & is oil free, unlike the Rimmel powder - but I'll be sticking to it anyway.

The color is nice (has a sheen to it), but it doesn't seem to do a good job at keeping my oily skin at bay during the day. I think I need something a bit more matte.

I've been using the translucent sable pressed powder since I was 15 and the only pressed powder I've used. For a drug-store brand it works just fine. Then again is is the only pressed powder I've ever used so I learned how to work with it. Whenever people try to apply it it looks streaky and really dark so there is a special technique I always use. People would never guess I wear face powder since it blends so well into my fair skin tone. It claims to be a mineral powder but I would like to find one that works like this one on me without having Talc as an ingredient. I've heard drug-store brands that claim to be mineral is practically false advertisement so I am on the search for a trust worthy name brand MINERAL pressed powder since I hate loose powders.

Horrible. Waste of $$$! This is a drugstore product so I was not expecting it to be comparable to something like Benefit but this was a complete disaster. It didn't apply evenly and when I had it on I felt like I had a tight mask on my face. Honestly IMO face products are something you need to buy high end...Its worth the splurge. I had to return this powder.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Very Oily, Medium, Cool Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Grey
I have extremely sensitive skin, almost to the point of being annoying. I have had allergic reactions (mainly itching) to make-up remover wipes, eye shadow, foundations, moisturizers, facial cleansers etc. But never to a powder, until now.
I ran out of my Rimmel pressed powder, and on a whim, decided to buy this instead. I never used a mineral powder before. I should also probably mention that I did not use this with the Tru Match foundation.
Over the last few weeks, I noticed my face has been itching a lot more than usual. At first, I thought it was my facial cleanser, but I tried a couple different kinds and still itched. I usually wash my face in the shower, but this morning, I decided not to use any kind of facial cleanser. I still itched. That is when I finally realized that it probably was not my facial cleanser that was making me itch, it was this powder. I bought another compact of my Rimmel powder this morning.
But even if I was not allergic to it, I do not think I would purchase this product again. I bought the transparent medium. It was a good match to my skin, but it did not really set my foundation and rubs off really easy. I also think that the sponge that comes with this product is not the best either. It is so flimsy. I also found it really hard to apply without looking overly powder. I'm sticking with my Rimmel powder. I used that for a long time with no problem.

I don't even know what to say about this product... It kind of sucks. The powder is really hard, it seriously feels like a rock so it's really hard to get on the brush. It's not smooth at all. It doesn't keep you matte either.
