The Deluxe Insertion Tapers are really beautiful. They are machined from solid 316LVM Surgical Steel. They are approximately 2 inch tapers that graduate smoothly and are Rounded from tip to back.
The uniquely special thing about these Insertion Tapers is that each taper has a recessed back to create a perfect jewelry to taper fit. There is no more losing the connection between taper and body jewelry with these tapers. Your jewelry fits right into the back of the taper so that it is one smooth stretching and insertion.
You can purchase these individually or in a set. We offer 2 sets, one that range from 18 gauge to 00 gauge, and then a Full set of every taper listed. Purchasing them by the set will give you a huge savings over purchasing them individually, (over $145.00).
These may cost a little more then our economy tapers, but you are buying the very best Insertion Tapers available.

- Excellent for PA stretch Review by 000Guage
Love the taper. Built specifically to take 000 Guage PA Jewellery. I love it. It slipped right in.
Keep up the good work.

- Quality product, excellent service Review by Resource Dragon
I bought 3 tapers to assist with inserting tricky jewellery. The 18 gauge has enabled me to put a particularly difficult nostril screw in. For the awkward earrings I am going to have to go with Plan B, which is to take them to a jeweller and have the current mechanism replaced with a simple hook.
If these tapers were to become available in a 20 gauge, I would be interested in getting one, as the nostril screw in question (above) is finer than 18 g and so the smaller hole would grip the end better.

- Great Investment Review by Roofeo
Forget about buying individual tapers. Buy this from the start and you'll never have to worry about putting in jewellry or stretching again. I would recommend this to anyone who has more than a couple of piercings.

- buy this! Review by Mike
very nice I have another set from a another company and the different is like night and day. This set is so polished and the ends are deeper then cheaper made set. The quality is great and the price is right!

A great investment. Even if I never stretch up to another gauge again, they're great for changing jewelry and a big help if I've taken it out for awhile and need a little help opening it back up.

Taper is excellent. It really helps to insert the jewellery.
I purchased the next size up as well, to expand my piercing but have not used it since my piercing was fairly recent and may not be fully healed yet.

I used it as an insertion aid, not to dilate a pierced hole.
We could use it more easily if it was internally or externaly threaded.

I haven't had any problems stretching my P.A. from the original 8-gauge all the way to 0-gauge, but 00-gauge was a challenge. With this taper the 00 ring fit snugly into the taper itself and went gently through my piercing. Instead of water-based lubricant, I used some moistureizer to relieve the immediate discomfort of such a large stretch. Excellent product!
(Posted on 2/29/12)
- Untitled Review by JDP
I purchased a taper in a 6 gauge size and used it to stretch my PA. It was my first time of stretching a piercing by myself and with this taper it was a snap. The trick, so I found out, is to use a small amount of lubricant on the taper and then push it through with the new ring. Thanks!

Love these tapers. The fact that you can fit the new piece of jewelry into the end of the taper is what makes them so easy to use. I have an apadravya and I\'m trying to go from a 4 gauge down to a two and this taper makes it so much easier.

I agree completely with the earlier reviewers. The tapers are excellent quality at a reasonable price, delivered promptly. I would never be able to gauge up my piercings without these tools. They\'re \'must have\' items for re-inserting jewelry also. I have tapers from 12 ga up to 00 ga.

A set of tapers is necessary for a PA if you want the ful experience of a PA, These are excellant quality and are sized for any jewlry. This is my second purchase from Chain Gain and they shipped imediately the best quality that is possible with very reasonable prices. JP

Great product! I especially like the way the end of the new ring being inserted fits inside the end of the taper pin making it easy to install in one smooth motion. For me, these pins are a must for the eventual increasing of my partner\'s new 8g PA on up to an 00g like I have now.

Im still on a high from last night,
We went to do gruul quickly because people werent being clever in SSC (wiping on lurker after killing hydross...) I got [item]Justicar Shoulderguards[/item] which upped me by about 10 stamina 100 armor in boss tanking kit, so its a pretty huge upgrade that I had passed on in my old guild 3x.
So we go to gruul and I stay incase i can get t4 legs just so i might get the set bonus its a great trash tanking set. I keep Righteous fury on, I put spell damage on my weapon and equipped my D3 legs (no enchant). I spent 10 seconds using an abillity called seal of vengeance but gave up after only getting 2 stacks and remembering gruul throws you around ._, Next thing I saw was getting hit fairly hard by gruul. Yup I had taken second aggro without even planning on it. Thank god I survived wearing less HP and mitigation than usually He died by about growth 12 but i remember going down to about 10HP..Still it was something because no melee dps died. I am still on fire from doing it (even though it cost me 4 super mana potions). First day back in a guild i had left due to a lock pulling aggro on midnight ahh well i was guildless and they were interested in me so far the agreement is that i bring my shadow priest when needed which is fine cos if its needed to kill a boss the first time it wont really be needed the second so i can pick up the loot still..I am a feral druid, I shapeshift into a shadow priest.
gratz narshe! and glad to see you still around criss, haven't heard from you in a while!

Super proud of my raid group last night. We killed Reliquary of Souls, Mother Shahraz, and Illidari Council last week for the first time. We go back in last night and I'm expecting it to take a few attempts for everyone to get back in the groove. What do we do? One-shotted Reliquary.
We killed Mother Shahraz on Sunday after having spent about 3 hours on her the previous raid night. On the way in Sunday, I made the comment "We probably aren't going to one-shot Shahraz anyway" because we'd never killed her before. What did we do? One-shotted her for our first kill. I made the same comment last night during Shahraz trash. Result? One-shot. I see a tradition in the making.
On top of that, I picked up [item]Girdle of Stability[/item] finally from Bloodboil. /score
Onward to Illidan!

Our guild has been having trouble filling the 25 spots for our raids lately. This isn't due to not enough members, just do to circumstance, be it RL issues, college exams, etc. etc.
A few weeks ago, we had 19 log on for HKM. Everyone was sure we couldn't do it, wanted to call the raid, maybe do KZ, or some guild pvp, but no one wanted to make a decision.
I made the decision, having full faith in our guild and its quality members, I said press on, maybe more will join in.
We hit HKM, I stress EVERYONE MUST STAY ALIVE. Their lives were in their own hands having only enough healing for the tanks. I tell the DPS to floor it and I'll spam taunt, I also stress the importance of interrupting the heals. Our MT does everything he can to help the healers keep him up through HKM damage. We down the even with 19, first shot. Everyone is stoked, and we want to move on to Gruul.... so we do.
We get to gruul, and during the time it took us to down HKM and clear to gruul, 6 people had logged on.. 5 melee and 1 ranged. So we make a first attempt at Gruul and wipe, due to having a ridiculous amount of melee DPS. Once again we stress the importance of staying alive and having good shatters. Second attempt, he's down!
It made me really proud of our guild. We've always done things against impossible odds, and this still holds true, our guild motto is something along the lines of do more with less, and we generally do it with less and a poor group make-up. In the end, we still make it work because of the quality of our players.
We've been undermanned a few times since then, and that one night has given everyone the confidence needed to simply press on, see what happens, and enjoy new or old content no matter the group make-up. We have fun.
So if you have faith in your raiders and feel you have a good chance to win, if no one will make that decision to call it or go, be the one to step up and go for it, it can have a long lasting, positive impact on your guild from there on out. Indeed even a wipe at 1-5% with an undermanned group can be more satisfying than a clear with the full 25!
similar to meia's successes. we have had a heck of a time getting people to show up - but we have been steadily recruiting and have gotten some incredible players. over the last month we have called 2 or 3 nights that would have been HKM attempts due to class balance / lack of healers or tanks.
we did go into SSC one night with around 20 people and did well on the trash - which i think helped people realize that we could easily hold our own in bigger content. we finally got together enough people for HKM, and after two weeks of attempts (about 2 hours per set) we one-shot him last night. after that we moved on to gruul and got him down to 24% on our first set of attempts - after each attempt we knocked off about another 10%. it was the first time ive seen people eager to go for more attempts and not cry about repair bills or how they could be pvping instead.
go go paum! make fraps! my guild could use all the help we can get with any progression fights! ;P

-Offering to leave kara so that another prot warrior can get in and hearing nearly the entire raid of ppl over vent yell "NO!"
I just joined a new guild on Wednesday. Casual guild, whose policies remind me a lot of my old EQ guild, but a lot less disciplined/regimented. Their MT is a prot pally. I don't mind. BUT there are some times where having a good old fashioned warrior is just plain nice. So we one shot huntsman, 2 shot Moroes and head for Maiden. First attempt pally tanks, we get her to maybe 50%... unlucky Holy Fire and aggro took out our top healer (we were running with 1 holy pally, 2 SP's, and a boomkin, that was our healing). Second attempt we still have the pally tanking, get her to about the same. Holy Fire is killing us so the prot pally decides I'll tank, and he'll help dispel. We got her to 3% before an unlucky repentance hit while I was low health. Prot pally hadn't been keeping on the agro list so it tore through our healer first and our dps next. BUT!
The success is that I got to tank my first boss in Kara, did an excellent job, and got 3 epics off the first 2 bosses... steelhawk xbow, moroes' watch, and his belt too. All in all, happy day.
This is a minor thing to all you T6 Ubertanks, I'm sure, but it still made me feel good.
Yesterday running non-heroic Shattered Halls with a guild group, in which our MT was playing his rogue alt. No problems. Got to the end boss, our healer made a mistake at about 60% and got instagibbed. MT said "damn guys, that's a wipe" and I said "wait a sec, let's see what happens."
We didn't have an offhealer, but I had one potion, Last Stand, and my trusty [item]Aldori Legacy Defender[/item], and we burned him down from 60% to 0% without any heals on any party members. Definitely a /flex moment for me. I've been trying to demonstrate that I'm a competant tank and ready for the second half of Kara (I've only tanked up to Curator to this point) and I think this event made a pretty good impression.
Back in my former guild many, many months ago, we had just cleared BWL and downed Nefarian maybe twice. We were back to him, setting up with the normal routine, potting up, assigning folks according to the dracs colors, etc - then in chat...
Wtf? Anyone who's done this fight knows it does take a bit of time when you are first killing him. Our raid leader just starts yelling out directions and we just go for it. Somehow we got him down, looted and we ported out with about 30 seconds to spare.
Definetely the highest point of excitement from that guild's raid group.
Grats on all the achievements folks. I just wanted to thank the community for helping one another improve, and eventually allowing us coming in here to toot our own horn.
I wouldn't enjoy this game, or enjoy tanking, if it weren't for such a great community. Cheers guys
Soloed durn the hungerer
Made 4018 Mortal strike on mage
Leveled blackmithing from 0 to 375 and crafted bulwark of ancient kings in 3 days. Spent only around 600g for the leveling and farmed the rest.
Mt:ed patchwerk
21-1 stats on AB without a premade (before the storm patch pre tbc)
2.5 years in the same guild with warrior as main the whole time
Still have Arcanite reaper in my bank
Able to farm 150g/hour as prot specced
For the past month I've been on a massive Farm run to improve my EH gear, which also included re-leveling Blacksmithing and Mining (I had dropped BS for JC in TBC). Last week for me was very fruitful as I finally finished farming all my gear at once. I ended up with:
[item]Bulwark of the Ancient Kings[/item]
[item]Belt of the Guardian[/item]
[item]Red Havoc Boots[/item]
[item]Furies Deck[/item]
[item]Gnomeregan Auto-Blocker 600[/item]
During the same week my guild made a run into a partially cleared Kara to get at Nightbane and I finally got [item]Panzar'Thar Breastplate[/item]. Then the next night on our Loot Reaver run I got my [item]Destroyer Shoulderguards[/item]. Overall my unbuffed health went up by 2k from this weekend alone.
Again during that weekend my guild geared me up to replace our NR Tank on Hydross which previously we had been unable to get past the second transition. My first time in the hot seat we got Hydross down to 19% and 2 attempts later he was dead. This last weekend we went in again hoping for positive results and we ended up one shotting Hydross like we'd been doing it for weeks. We then went on to Tidewalker and walked away with him at 17% after our third day on him. Overall I've had a very positive last two weeks and I can only hope that it will continue on... now if only I can get that damn mace to drop.

- Biogeochemical Investigations in Old Growth and Disturbed Forest Sites at Mount Kilimanjaro (2004)
- Areas covered by mountain rainforests in East Africa have important functions as catchment areas for the streams in the savannah. Still, little is known about the biogeochemical processes in these often threatened ecosystems. The current study aims to present basic information on soils and different parameters of the water and nutrient cycle in intact as well as disturbed tropical mountain rainforest sites at Mt. Kilimanjaro in order to assess the long term effects of forest dissection on biogeochemical parameters. For this purpose, the chemical and physical soil properties, soil water tension, rainfall, throughfall, litter percolate and soil solution were determined on twelve study sites in mature forest, secondary forest and elder clearings between 2100 and 2300 m a.s.l. on the southwestern slopes of the mountain. The soil water tension was monitored from May 2000 to August 2002. The simultaneously collected water samples were combined to form fortnight samples and subsequently analysed for their content of K, Mg, Ca, Na, NO3-N, NH4-N, TOC, TON, TOS and TOP. The soils, which comprised of several buried horizons, were Andisols with high C and N stocks, some hydromorphic properties and comparatively low pH values. The latter led to very small ECEC values and low base saturation. Consequently, the retention of cationic nutrients in the soil was considered to be poor. Rainfall amounts were slightly less at the higher sampling sites where the mature forest was located and differed between the study years (2600 mm and 2480 mm at 2100 m, 2210 mm and 1960 mm at 2250 m). Rainfall interception was close to zero in the clearings, but reached up to 30% of incident rainfall in both studied forest types. The analyses of the soil water tension revealed the driest conditions to be under secondary forests. The reason for this was probably a combination of the topographic position of the secondary forest sites and the forest fragmentation. Since the secondary forest sites and the clearings had higher sand contents, the water holding capacity of these sites was lower than in the mature forest. With the exception of NO3-N in the forests, all nutrients in rainfall were increased upon passage through the forest canopy, but nutrient fluxes in rainfall as well as throughfall were still low compared to other mountain rainforests, especially for Mg, Ca and K. Considering the lower biomass of the clearings compared to the forest, the amount of nutrients leached from the vegetation of the clearings was relatively high. Since NO3-N was not assimilated by the vegetation of the clearings, NO3-N throughfall fluxes were higher in the clearings as were the K fluxes, which was probably attributable to different leaf properties of the vegetation at the different sites. In the mature forest, the highest concentrations of nutrients were found in the litter percolate, followed by a pronounced decline in the soil solution. This was especially the case for K. NO3-N was an exception since it exhibited the highest concentrations only in the topsoil solution. Nutrient concentrations in litter percolate and the topsoil solution were usually higher in the clearings than in both forest types. This probably resulted in higher belowground nutrient fluxes since greater water amounts reached the ground surface in the clearings. The high belowground nutrient concentrations were likely the result of the higher mineralisation rates in the clearings induced by higher temperatures and the greater nutrient contents of the litter. With increasing soil depths, nutrient concentrations in seepage water below the clearings declined so that the differences among sites were not significant at deeper soil layers. The contribution of organically bound nutrients to the total concentrations of respective nutrients was highest in throughfall water and lowest in the soil solution, in which OM concentrations were overall lower than in other mountain forests. This was most likely attributable to the adsorption of organically bound nutrients to the mineral phase of the Andisols studied. Again, the highest concentrations in seepage water were measured in the clearings. The results show that mature forests at Mt. Kilimanjaro exhibit a more closed nutrient cycle, especially for basic cations, while the nutrient cycle in the clearings is more open. This probably reflects the different nutrient usage and conservation strategies of the pioneer and the late successional vegetation. Therefore, the forest disturbance on Mt. Kilimanjaro leads to long term changes in biogeochemical cycles. The opening of the forest at lower elevations, which resulted in the formation of large clearings with impeded regeneration and highly fragmented secondary forest patches, led to a higher spatial and seasonal variability of soil moisture and nutrient contents in seepage water. The large scale effects of these forest conversions on water yields and nutrient outputs need to be tested in the future.

Low-Voltage 10 Watt Halogen Bulbs
MJ from South Holland, IL– Verified Buyer
Bought these bulbs for low voltage recessed halogen fixtures installed in 3 double cabinets with mirrors on rear walls and equipped with both glass shelves doors. These cabinets are centered in the middle of additional cabinets with wooden doors on an interior wall opposite an exterior wall of windows facing my backyard. Oh, my, what a beautifully brilliant sight of loveliness in the display of items that are precious to me! For example, under these lights, my silver napkin rings enclosed in a lidded crystal biscuit jar presents a show-stopping display alone..

New blocks, new books, and summer
19 comments:
Thank you!!! Lucky me! I love how those fabrics and how the block looks. I am so excited to be putting them all together soon. I am totally addicted to both the Dresden and the Wedge rulers... so many fun things. Obviously your photo was my inspiration for this project. I am so glad to see that Amy McC. has published a book... looks like fun! Of course, it's a circus!!!ReplyDelete
Ooo, the neutral quilts look like they'd be great "man quilts." I adore the one on the left of the double picture (if that makes sense.)ReplyDelete
I love the blocks - they remind me of one of those wall of death things only with push bikes rather than motor bikes going round and round.ReplyDelete
Hope you all have a fab summer :o)ReplyDelete
Love that first quilt! What a happy one!ReplyDelete
beautiful work, I like:-)ReplyDelete
Yes, enjoy the kiddos while you can. My baby turns 21 today, where did the time go??? Love the quilts!ReplyDelete
LOVE the finer, less chunking, look of your wedge quilts.ReplyDelete
I looked on Under the Garden Moon site for their wedge ruler you have pictured but I could not find it. Do you have a source for this ruler?Replies
Yes! If you call American Quilting in Utah (801)802-7841 they have them in stock.Delete
It's beautiful. I love dresden style quilts and I love making baby quilts so I'm going to have to check for this book.ReplyDelete
I love that Dresden block. Someday I would love to play with it more.ReplyDelete
And, I hope you can enjoy your summer with kids home. I know it's stressful to keep them entertained, but it's also nice to not worry about homework and packed schedules. At least your weather is much better than ours! My daughter is trying to think of ways to keep everyone happy INDOORS :)Replies
That is good perspective for me to keep in mind. It's sending kids outside that is my greatest sanity saver. I sound like I'm complaining - there is much that I love about summer! But finding the balance between structure and freedom is always a tricky one for me.Delete
Those wedge quilts are great. I feel your pain about middle school - we were in that boat last yeat but it ended up going really good.ReplyDelete
I love those blocks! A lot of the blogs I read do traditional Dresden blocks and it was a real treat to a unique block! I love that you used a bicycle pattern in-between the sections. Almost like a bicycle wheel it's spokes! Can't wait to see the rest of the pattern!ReplyDelete
Amazing wedge quilts, I love them! Doesn't highschool sound scary? Well, all the best with it!ReplyDelete
Beautiful block! Some years ago, a very generous quilter gave us all, a free tutorial for a similar variation on traditional Dresden block here:ReplyDelete
I'm in love with that monkey business quilt! Now I'm going to have to make it...ReplyDelete
OK - super fun quilts - I've GOT to try those circles out!ReplyDelete
Oh my , I think I might need to get me the wedge ruler and the book! There are just too darn cute ...ReplyDelete

But yes, throughout the past 20 years, the fed has kept interest rates low by lending the bands money. Hence the increase in the monetary base.
But yes, throughout the past 20 years, the fed has kept interest rates low by lending the bands money. Hence the increase in the monetary base.
Yes, it does matter as far as price inflation goes. You are right that it does't necessarily change M2 or the velocity. The market determines velocity- consumer activity. If a bank borrows money from the Fed and turns around and lends it out it will not effect the Base but if they kept it as reserves it would be added to the base. But unless their books were out of balance why would they borrow and keep it? Pay the fees and put up the collateral for the loan?
Let's look at how much money the Fed has been lending to the banks over time. We can check that as well. That would be through the Discount Window. Other than the spike during the bailouts (AIG was a huge chunk of it), it has been pretty much zero so they haven't been lending tons of money to the banks over the past 20 years.

I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.
So lets go back to the original premise of low inflation the biggest reason for low interest rates. One simple chart will show us. The red line is the US inflation rate, the blue line is the interest rate the Fed sets. Nice how they all move together pretty well.
Compare that also with mortgage rates chart and you see the exact same thing:

Bubbles constantly form and pop- some quietly, some with a bang. That says nothing about if interest rates were "natural" or not. If they are not "natural" what should interest rates be and why?

A Mandrake headache is 9 times worse than a migraine headache.
In a letter sent to the White House, Republican leaders outlined a plan that they said would provide $2.2 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade. On top of the $800 billion in new revenue from a tax code overhaul, Republicans estimated they could save $300 billion by cutting discretionary spending, $600 billion in "health savings," $200 billion in changes to the consumer price index and another $300 billion in mandatory spending.
I compiled a "brief" history of events since October 2008 that are defining the global currency war and the role that gold is playing:
Tin Foil Hats, Economic Reality and the Total Perspective Vortex
Also, have you contacted your Congressional Rep and asked them co-sponsor
Ron Paul'sRep. Paul Broun Jr.'s HR 109877: Free Competition in Currencies Act?
The primary distribution source of new Fed money to cover bank loans/reserves is not really from the discount window but from the open market (and now our messed up bailout system).
So say small town bank X is starved for reserves...it bids up the price for reserves from the big banks and gets what it needs. The big banks in turn look to replenish their reserves by borrowing from each other and the primary dealers. This bids up the money market upstream and then the primary dealers look to replenish their reserves. So they borrow from each other...or sell assets to the Fed.
In this fashion it is clear how small town 'Mom and Pop' banks can and CONSTANTLY borrow indirectly from the Federal Reserve. In fact without this constant borrowing the banking system would collapse because it has and always will overbook deposits for reserves.
On the topic of what is the monetary base...that is pretty easy. It is the supply of money that government directly created. Coins, dollar bills, electronic dollars (confusingly conflated with terms such as reserves or federal reserve credit) are all included in MB. It is absolutely a measure of the money supply, albeit a narrow one because it doesn't include non-government sources of money. We exchange gold for services, bank deposits, savings deposits and more for what we want... That is why higher monetary aggregates that include deposits are more accurate in determining the supply of money to the economy and therefore its affect on inflation.
Now the supply of MB is still very important because the banks can only use government money to meet reserve requirements and withdrawals which makes them somewhat unique. The supply of MB helps determine how much banks can in turn leverage that to multiply their own bank deposits (non-government money). A high ratio between M2 and MB may mean we're on the verge of a collapse. A low ratio may mean we're on the verge of hyper-inflation as banks will surely multiple MB to the max once possible.
On the subject of the money multiplier...this is a very important idea that needs to be understood to knowing how banks work, create money and create inflation/bankruns/bailouts. However in a modern economy, things are done in a slightly different fashion (although still fraudulent and they still multiply the money supply).
A modern bank (and they've done studies on this) is not really constrained with lending by its reserves...nor it is overly in danger by withdrawals. This is because banks have what is called the money market which is an effective cartel. If I want to loan you 100 million and I think you'll pay it back...I make the loan as the loan officer. The asset manager will then borrow that 100 from money center banks. But wait...what if the money center banks don't have that money? They always will! That is because the money center banks borrow from the Primary Dealers and the Primary dealers 'borrow' (or sell assets) to the Fed to get WHATEVER reserves they need. In fact the whole system is on auto-pilot so banks in effect determine the supply of MB...the tail wags the dog.
Perhaps a modern multiplier example would look like this.
Bank A incorporates with $1,000 equity and $1,000 cash.
Customer A wants and gets a $10,000 deposit in exchange for a $10,000 loan.
Customer A writes a check for $10,000 to Vendor X who deposits at Bank B
Bank A borrows $9,000 from Bank B through the money market to meet its withdrawal
Bank A ends up with 10k in loan assets and 9k in loan liabilities and 1k in equity
Bank B ends up with +10k in deposits and +1k reserves and +9k in loan assets
In this fashion you can clearly see how 1k of money create 10X without the steps illustrated by most econ 101 texts with the money multiplier. But wait...how did Bank A's withdrawal clear if they didn't have they money. Well ultimately Bank B financed it (or any other indirect banking agent thought the money market). But more immediately this apparent contradiction was made possible by Fed float and lax clearing rules. But this is not significant. Even if the Fed played had very strict requirements, the banks could use a small percentage of equity to grease the distribution of reserves and loans to each other. That or the bank temporarily converts the deposits to near deposits and then back again. Either way they multiply the money supply with impunity and efficiency.
So if the banks max on the reserve ratios...they can still create deposits...they just borrow the money from the fed (mostly indirectly) to get the reserves they need.
To understand the banking system you have to imagine it has one entity...that takes in all MB and creates say 5X of M2. The money market is the circulatory system that distributes the MB throughout the body to the various organs. And the Fed is the intravenous drip. When the banks stop lending to each other because of credit concerns...then body gets quite sick...and the Fed tries to inject more fluid into the body.
One last note...while the conventional money multiplier considers really demand deposits (M1) and base money (MB) this is not an accurate picture of the economy because many of the deposits held by businesses and the wealthy are 'near-deposits'. They yield a small percentage of interest and/or have slight time restrictions on their withdrawals. Banks also play games by shuffling what should be demand deposit into near-deposits to skirt reserve requirements...truly one has to look at the higher aggregate to understand the banking system as a whole.

Changing medications for people with these disorders is very difficult. It can take up to 6-12 weeks to determine if a medication works, and if not, additional weeks with no medication are required before a new one is tried.
Denying Needed Medications Does Not Save Money for the State
Authorization Poses a Threat to Patients
Because patients are less likely to adhere to treatment on medications that are not best for them, they are more likely to suffer a serious episode. This is a primary reason that the Kaiser Family Foundation report on prior authorization programs recommended that medications for mental illness be exempted for restrictive formularies.
|Given the budget crisis in many states, some policymakers may be tempted to limit access to medications for people with depressive, bipolar and anxiety disorders to save money. However, this is not the way to create an effective, efficient mental health system for those on Medicaid.
States should use tested, proven treatment models for depressive, bipolar and anxiety disorders that allow physicians to make final treatment decisions for individual patients. Increasingly, individuals with these disorders can focus on recovery and their well being and quality of life can be significantly improved with open access to medications.

Either go for FULL haste of FULL mastery, your mixture of both is not gonna work at all. Get rid of the hybrid gems, and put 320 haste gems everywhere (assuming you are 10 man, I dunno exactly how 25 man gemming works and I hear it's different).
At the moment, there are very few fights that require you to actually time your SotR with an ability on normal to survive, so going full haste and just putting SotR up on 3 orbs for starters will do. When you get a bit more comfortable with it, you can actually start timing it with the boss' swing timer to the best of your ability. But really, even on Heroic, on most fights I just spam SotR as much as I can. Only exceptions are Horridon, Tortos (if you are tanking the boss and not adds), Ji-Kun and if you wanna stretch it to heroic, Ra-Den.
Here's my armory as a reference.

Congrats! Keep us posted on which tag you pull!
Look like you will be making a fun hunt either way. That's awesome!! Congrats!
Congrats! Keep us posted on which tag you pull!
When I get on the Utah DWR website and look at the My Application History tab it doesn't show 2013 on there. I thought it would say pending or something so I called the DWR and the lady I talked to said it doesn't show up until the draw is over. What does it look like when you guys get on yours? I am worried that my application didn't go through.
Always keep a PDF (or paper) copy of your receipt when you apply on-line in case you have to dispute that you actually applied. That receipts has a session number and a confirmation number on it and the detail of what you applied for.
Grand Slam #1005 + 2: Dall (1986 Yukon), Fannin/Stone (1987 Yukon), Bighorn (1988 Colorado Unit S-26), Stone (1995 British Columbia), Desert (2001 Nevada Unit 161), Bighorn (2009 Wyoming Unit 5)
alot of times they charge the credit card and if you are not succesful, credit the card back.
medtech10 get on Utah's site and check your PP status, see if there are any changes in your points.
good to know, i apply in so many states, i get the states confused on wich ones charge up front and which ones charge when pulled.

Happy with my order!
Seasonal Snowflake Wedding Favor Tags Bought these as an "additional information" insert to tie with baker's twine around my wedding invitations. They came out perfect and I had many compliments. Very happy :)
Seasonal Snowflake Save the Date Magnets I don't usually take the time to write reviews for products but I wanted to for this one. My fiancé and I were blown away by the package we received from magnet street. The level of detail that was delivered was amazing. We highly recommend this company for your wedding needs!
Great Products!
Seasonal Snowflake Foldover Pockets i was able to get a hold of someone right away to answer the questions that I had. Highly recommend!!
Simply but still lovely.
Seasonal Snowflake Save the Date Magnets Did not use the magnet for a wedding. Used them for a family gathering at Christmas as a save the date. Customizing the message was simple and easy to do. The end product was very nice and worked well for our future event.
Seasonal Snowflake Save the Date Magnets Cards came out exactly how I had hoped and set the theme for our wedding. Great quality, quick turn around, and bold colors.

Mark Segraves,
WASHINGTON - A group of D.C. residents led by the advocacy group D.C. Vote is pressuring the White House to change the license plate on the presidential limo.
A petition on the White House website asks the president to place the "Taxation Without Representation" on his limousine before the Jan. 21 inaugural ceremonies.
The petition reads:
"District of Columbia residents pay taxes and fight and die in wars, but do not have a vote in Congress.
In 2000, D.C.'s locally-elected leaders made 'Taxation Without Representation' the official license plate motto to demonstrate the injustice experienced by more than 600,000 Americans who live in the capital city.
President Obama supports a vote in Congress for the people of D.C. But the license plates on the Presidential motorcade do not include the Taxation Without Representation message.
We ask that the Administration place the Taxation Without Representation plates on his vehicle prior to the inauguration so the nation will clearly understand the political reality in D.C."
In November 2000, the District changed the motto on the license plates from "Celebrate and Discover" to "Taxation Without Representation" as a way to draw attention to the District's lack of voting representation in Congress.
As one of his last acts in office, President Bill Clinton had the new tags placed on all White House vehicles including the presidential limousine.
When President George Bush took office he refused to place the "taxation" tags on his fleet, so the city issued an alternative tag without the motto. Despite numerous requests since the 2008 election, the Obama administration has refused to place the "taxation" tags on any White House vehicles.
In his first term, the White House has been mostly silent on issues surrounding D.C. voting rights and the license plate even though he won 92 percent of the District's votes four years ago. Obama won the District again with 91 percent of the votes in last month's presidential election, according to the D.C. Board of Elections.
James Jones, with D.C. Vote, advocates for full federal voting rights for D.C. residents and says the petition is about more than getting the president to make a symbolic gesture.
"We also want to shine a bright light on the injustice of taxation without representation that remains a political reality for the people of D.C.," Jones says.
As per the White House policy, if the petition on the "We The People" section of the executive's website reaches 25,000 signatures, the White House will issue a response.
The "We The People" petition section currently has 168 open petitions on issues ranging from the repeal of "Obamacare" to allowing Louisiana to withdraw from the United States. Some petitions, like one seeking tougher gun laws, have hundreds of thousands of signatures. Others, like the D.C. license plate petition, only have a handful of signatures.
The administration has posted 84 responses to those petitions meeting the 25,000 signature threshold.
Jones and others are hoping they'll get the needed signatures and the response will include changing the license plate before it rolls down Pennsylvania Avenue on Jan. 21.
"The promise of democracy represented by the inaugural parade just isn't a reality for the people of D.C.," Jones says.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Joni Karp remembers the teasing.
"Want a hotdog?" "Let's have a barbecue!" "You can't eat that?!?"
A vegetarian for 35 years and a vegan for 19 years, Karp has long kept a plant-based diet devoid of animal products, and folks haven't always accepted her meal choices. That said, she's seen a growing acceptance of her diet over the years, and increasing options when she dines out.
"Now more people are curious, not teasing," she said. "I don't feel so different from everybody else anymore."
People taste Karp's homemade vegan recipes, and they say things like, "I can do this!" or "You'd never know that wasn't made with dairy!"
And there's more vegan and vegetarian dishes at restaurants throughout the Grand Valley, a classic meat-and-potatoes region.
"Now if you order something vegan, staff at local restaurants seem to know what that is and they'll work with you," Karp said.
Karp, 49, is part of a growing demographic of Grand Valley residents who maintain vegan or vegetarian diets for both health reasons and a compassionate belief that animals shouldn't be harmed so people can eat.
Marian Dorn, a Grand Junction resident and practicing vegan since 1990, is also the organizer of the Grand Junction branch of Vegan Life Colorado, a statewide educational nonprofit. She said she plans monthly vegan potlucks through Meetup.com to promote fellowship between like-minded individuals.
"We've only had our Meetup page up since December (2012), and we already have 32 members," Dorn said. "It's a really good thing to have other people to eat with who have similar dietary choices."
Though there are challenges to keeping a strict vegan diet - like being able to eat at certain places or purchasing clothing without animal products, like leather and wool - Dorn said she's happy every day because of her choices.
"I benefit from being vegan in my heart because of love," she said. "I'm happy to have compassionate choices available."
Dorn strongly believes that "nothing should die that I may live," and she said cruelty to animals is common throughout all aspects of food production, whether that's dairy, eggs or meat.
"That's not OK with me," she said.
Wanting a healthier body influences folks to change their diets, too.
Orchard Mesa resident Joseph Hayes first went vegetarian and then vegan to optimize his health, and he said he's seen amazing results.
"About 15 years ago, I was going through a hard time," he said. "I was overweight, sluggish and tired."
Tests at an annual doctors exam revealed high cholesterol and blood pressure as well.
"Changing my diet was an experiment," he said. "I could always go back."
But, after losing 30 pounds and seeing vast improvements in his cholesterol and blood pressure, Hayes was sold.
"There is plenty of evidence that red-meat consumption is associated with increased risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer," said Dr. Scott Rollins, M.D., a local physician specializing in complex medical conditions.
Rollins added that vegan diets generally provide enough protein calories, but it can lead to B12 deficiencies, "so vegans need to be sure to consume plant foods with plenty of B12" or take a supplement.
"Being motivated to start was the hardest part," Hayes said. "Once the motivation was there, it was easy for me."
While some vegans and vegetarians practice their diets strictly, others take on aspects of the animal-free food movement for better health and global awareness
Dee Goodsell, a 53-year-old Grand Junction resident and member of Vegan Life Colorado, said she's not quite vegan, not quite vegetarian, but she's close.
"I try to limit myself," Goodsell said. "I've been interested in health for many, many years. Like a lot of people, I've dabbled in different things, and over the last few years I've gravitated to a more raw, vegetarian diet for the health benefits."
And like many others with plant-based diets, she's also very aware of where food and other products come from and how it impacts the lives of all animals and the environment.
"I pay attention to my purchases, where as in the past that may not have crossed my mind," she said. "I'm continuously evolving."
Christine Strickland, a Grand Junction mom, buys many vegan products because her son has multiple dangerous food allergies surrounding dairy, eggs and more. Her family also eats some meat.
Strickland said she relies on stores like Vitamin Cottage and Sprouts to get many vegan food products that aren't carried at regular supermarkets.
Though Strickland's unsure if the vegan movement will catch on like wildfire in Grand Junction like it has in, say, Boulder, she hopes more options will become available as awareness grows.
"Some restaurants will cater to severe food allergies, but we don't eat out a lot," she noted.
Another Grand Junction vegan Stacey Morton-Cohen said she's frustrated with the limited or no vegan menu options when dining out.
"Just give us one good healthy dish on an entire menu and we are happy," Morton-Cohen said. "It can even be a dairy dish with a cheese-less option (like pizza)."
