I am from the UK, and moved to the USA in 2000. The first five years we lived in CA, then in 2005 we moved to OR. Where we are now, due to my husbands work is why we live in the USA now. We have a daughter who is in her second year of University, and is spending Feb till May in the UK studying abroad. She is studying to be a teacher, and we are very proud of the way she is taking everything in her stride and keeping her grades up to a high level. I have a few medical issues including MS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, I have a heart problem where I had to have a pacemaker fitted and deal with Chronic Pain issues on a daily basis. I try to stay positive and deal with my medical problems one day at a time, and one of the reasons why I joined this site was to try and find some answers to questions I needed help with. Plus if I could help anyone else with my experiences that would be an added bonus. Since joining the site I got more comfortable sharing my problems, and helping others with theirs. But feel a bit sad that some of the friends I have made on the site have left, for one reason or another. which is a real shame because we all contribute in ways that seem to help each other. If anyone has questions that they wish me to answer about the things I have to cope with on a daily basis., I will try and answer all the questions as soon as I can. Take care everyome. Liz.read less

Marriage is a tough job, but it can also be one of life's most rewarding experiences. If you don't want to be among the 43 percent of couples that end their marriage in separation or divorce within 15 years, then you should consider the preventative measures suggested by Lorna Jorgenson Wendt, the founder and president of Equality in Marriage, a nonprofit organization that provides information and support to men and women, so they can strive to maintain an equal partnership. Wendt defines a 50-50 marriage as one in which both husband and wife feel valued.
Equality in Marriage was born when Wendt's husband of 32 years, former General Electric Capital CEO Gary Wendt, filed for divorce. She believed that she was an equal partner in the relationship and subsequently decided to fight back when offered only 10 percent of the couple's assets. She won a greater, undisclosed sum of money, and her headline-grabbing victory was a coup for women everywhere. Now, Wendt has made it her life's job to advise other couples and to help them learn from her mistakes
1. Know thyself. Every woman needs to spend some quality time with herself. You need to know your interests, goals and dreams in every area; this includes your financial portfolio. "Women need to be able to say, 'I could be alone in this world and that would be okay,'" says Wendt. Even if you are already married, you are not ready to truly be part of a pair unless you are independent and can take care of yourself. You also need to know what you want, so you can communicate that to your husband.
2. Never take each other for granted. People need to feel needed. Your husband wants to know that he plays an important role in your marriage and you need to feel the same way about yourself. You should both tell
3. Talk, talk, talk. One of Equality in Marriage's main objectives is to spark dialogue between couples, to get them to start discussing everything from having kids to maintaining a joint bank account, preferably before walking down the aisle. (In fact, 40 percent of the hits to the Equality in Marriage Web site are for the "before marriage" section.) But married couples benefit from all of this advice, too. It's never too late to improve communication. Wendt's number one piece of advice for all couples is to speak openly and honestly about all the day-to-day issues that will inevitably arise as you share your lives. How many kids do you want? Will one of you stay home to raise them? If so, who? What are your philosophies about money? Who will take out the garbage? And the list goes on.
4. Get a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. For those who say this is unromantic or pessimistic, Wendt disagrees. "You wouldn't put a new roof on your house without a contract, would you?" she asks. She argues that getting a prenuptial agreement before you are married or postnuptial agreement afterward protects your marriage and gives your relationship a better chance of surviving. Educating yourself about the legal system is a necessity for today's married couples, says Wendt. According to a recent Equality in Marriage survey, 70 percent of married people reported they had no knowledge of the laws regarding marriage and divorce in their state
5. Keep the intimacy alive even after you become parents. Couples sometimes lose sight of each other when they start having kids. But Wendt says that's precisely when husbands and wives need to make an extra effort to find couple time. They need to continue to discuss the relationship, work on making it better and simply enjoy each other. In other words, go on dates, make out with each other and be sure to schedule fun. After all, this intimacy is the glue that keeps a husband and wife together.

Off the Beaten Path
Wildlife tracking is making a comeback, attracting outdoor enthusiasts and biologists alike. For some it's an engrossing hobby; for others it's a critical contribution to conservation.
The wind pushes little whitecaps across the Columbia River in Washington about 130 miles east of Seattle. The morning is crisp, and 15 or more of us stand in a tight circle off the riverbank listening to Mark Elbroch, a top American wildlife tracker, explain the rules of the evaluation. For the next two days, for eight to ten hours a day, we'll be identifying tracks and signs--paw prints, scat, bones--left by all manner of wildlife in a mix of habitats. The test takers, wilderness experts in their own right, are striving to earn Track and Sign Specialist certificates, among the top wildlife tracker credentials in the United States.
Elbroch finishes going over the rules for the field exam and gives a tug on his gray baseball cap. "The less attachment you have to your score, the better you'll do," he says before walking off into the shrub steppe with fellow evaluator Casey McFarland to choose the first questions.
The dozen test takers, mainly young men and a few women, know one another as teachers or colleagues through the Wilderness Awareness School in Duvall, Washington, which began offering youth environmental education in 1983. David Moskowitz, the WAS's tracking program coordinator, organized the evaluation. Like many here, he has taken the test multiple times; the previous year he had earned a Track and Signal Specialist certificate for a southern California ecosystem. Now he's hoping to attain the same level of recognition in Washington State and in riparian habitats. The group clusters around Moskowitz, waiting for the field exam to begin, though nobody speaks much. Someone fiddles with a twig, others scan their field guides, and all watch intently from afar as the evaluators mark the exam questions.
Elbroch summons the test takers in pairs to large ovals drawn in the sand that cordon off animal tracks, each set flagged with a reed stuck next to it. One after another the candidates kneel down, their noses inches from the markings; some wander off, looking for other clues. When I examine the prints I see indistinguishable smudges and inch-long depressions in the dry, lumpy sand. As far as I can tell, the wind could have made any of the little dips and swells. When we gather around to review the characteristics of the first four tracks--a striped skunk, two coyotes, and a porcupine, as it turns out--Elbroch asks Barry Martin, a retired American Airlines pilot turned tracker from San Diego, to explain the porcupine print. Martin laughs, "I've never encountered a porcupine before." He had thought the tracks were made by a deer, and went on to explain why. Others missed questions, too, and the group is full of dejected faces. A specialist certificate requires 100 percent accuracy, though it can also be achieved, even with two incorrect answers, if the person aces six bonus questions (they're harder than the regular ones). The test is designed to be tough, and it is. To date only 16 people in the United States have earned specialist certificates, though hundreds of others have received lesser Level 1, 2, or 3 certificates for tallying scores between 70 percent and 99 percent.
A creek creeping down from the ragged hills toward the Columbia is the next test site. Amid the milkweed and cattail marsh, we are tested on river otter, black-billed magpie, and red-winged blackbird tracks. Then we scramble up a steep bluff and traverse a narrow path along its craggy reddish-gray face. We won't find tracks in this rocky terrain, so we're looking for signs. First there's a drift of what looks like lightweight brown pebbles (what are they?). Then there's a thick white line three inches long (what is it, and what's its function?). Next is a dried piece of scat shaped like beads on a necklace (what animal made it?). Then, finally, there is a series of small mammal bones--a partial skull and two jaws--meal scraps left by raptors hunting from the nearby cliffs (what's the prey species?).
While sitting on the windy bluff, I chat with Filip Tkaczyk, a 28-year-old who's originally from southern California and is now a naturalist at Alderleaf Wilderness College, in Monroe, Washington. He started tracking as a hobby, "and now I can't shut it off." Tracking heightens awareness of sounds, visual clues, surroundings, and smells, says Tkaczyk--whether or not he's in the field, which he is several times a month.
When we discuss the bluff questions, I learn that the dry brown "pebbles" (which I had plopped down on until someone called through the wind, "You're seated in Question 15") are porcupine dung. The prickly critters had probably been using this place as a den for years, hence the drifts of scat. Similarly, the white territorial marking had been made by countless generations of wood rats that had left behind their urine and feces, which accumulated in the arid environment. The entrance to a wood rat's den--also a test question--is adorned with owl pellets and droppings, prompting Elbroch to explain that the industrious rodents move up to 200 items a night. For experts, each track and sign helps to reconstruct an incident in the day of an elusive animal. A hillside that at first looked dry and windswept has become animated with busy lives and ancient routines.
Today more than 115 wilderness schools in the United States offer anything from a single, several-hour class to lengthy apprenticeships. At least 200 books provide track- and sign-identification techniques--and 80 percent of them were published in the past 40 years. Tracking clubs exist in more than half of U.S. states, and adventure travel companies now offer wolf-trailing trips in Yellowstone or brown bear-tracking treks in Alaska. Tracking skills are also beginning to play an important role in wildlife research.
Many credit Tom Brown Jr. with spawning the country's interest in wildlife tracking; many others criticize him for promoting an approach to tracking that lacks scientific rigor. Brown, who has published 16 books about the outdoors and his life, has become his own brand, and tens of thousands of people have taken the classes he offers, in primitive living, tracking, and wilderness spirituality, at his Tracker School in New Jersey. Today Brown is a lightning rod, to put it mildly, in tracking circles. His controversial techniques--reading "aura signatures" and minute "pressure releases" within tracks, a cryptic "coyote" teaching style that leaves many confused, and a culture that shuns questioning authority--have left some troubled and turned others into devout followers.
The 39-year-old Elbroch, who says he is deeply concerned by a culture he feels smothers discussion and fears error, decided to look elsewhere for guidance. He found a new mentor, Louis Liebenberg, a shy South African who in 1994, along with a Shangaan tracker named Wilson Masia, forged an evaluation system in South Africa that emphasizes learning through testing and peer review. The goal was to fairly rank all of South Africa's trackers--traditional Shangaans, Bushmen, Xhosa, white rangers, and women--and level a playing field still riddled with both racism and sexism. The system was meant to help the best trackers obtain the best jobs as safari guides, national park guards, and research technicians while further breaking down the barriers of traditional white and black roles. Today the Cyber-
Tracker Conservation Tracker Evaluation System, an independent certifier, is used by the South African government as well as by those in Namibia, Botswana, and a handful of European countries. Elbroch describes the frank evaluations he received from Liebenberg and other South African trackers as "the most freeing experience of my tracking career, and it made me a better tracker."
Elbroch brought the evaluation system to this country in 2004--since then 370 people in the United States and Canada have been certified--with a conviction that empirical evidence and evaluation are the cornerstone of tracking skills and can contribute to research. To that end he has written a 779-page tome on North American mammal tracks, widely considered a definitive source on the topic. He is also author of an equally hefty book on animal skulls in North America. When he completes his Ph.D. in ecology from the University of California-Davis, he'll be the first senior tracker with an advanced science degree. Over the Washington evaluation weekend, several people credited Elbroch with setting a new bar in tracking by providing photographs of prints rather than just line drawings. "Elbroch's books changed the field," says Jason Knight, cofounder of Alderleaf Wilderness College. He calls the tracking world before the books "the dark ages."
Even as tracking has captured the public's interest, there has been a decline in natural history courses offered at universities. Across the country, schools have eliminated classes in basic taxonomy, ornithology, mammalogy, herpetology--the list goes on--causing a flurry of journal papers expressing concern about the future of organismal science and the next generation. "It is not trendy, it doesn't bring in the big grants, or those kinds of subjects are considered to be old fashioned," says Reed Noss, an ecologist at the University of Central Florida and author of essays on the decline. (Today many conservation biology students devote themselves to statistical modeling and DNA analysis.) "So very few people are coming out of graduate school even trained and able to teach those kinds of courses."
"We lose a basic connection to nature when we don't immerse ourselves in natural history and only deal with mathematical abstractions and theory," says Noss, who laments changes in environmental education since the 1970s. "There was already a shift away from classification and toward experiential education where basically you played games with the kid. No one ever wanted to name anything because 'No, that'll turn kids off to nature if they make it hard work.' " The danger of these two extremes is that by "losing specialists equipped to identify organisms, we're not able to track the extinction crisis nearly as adequately as in the past."
A recent paper in the Journal of Wildlife Management documents this very decline in observer reliability and suggests that field data collected by uninformed technicians jeopardizes the validity of research. The paper looked at how reliably Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists could identify the tracks of northern river otters, a species they were responsible for counting as part of a 15-year research project. The biologists misidentified 37 percent of river otter tracks and incorrectly identified the tracks of other species as otter 26 percent of the time.
"Within wildlife biology a huge amount of research projects use some form of tracks or sign," says Jonah Evans, the paper's author and a Texas Parks and Wildlife diversity biologist. There's a danger then, Evans explains, that wildlife management decisions will be based on faulty data.
Evans had tracked wildlife for more than a decade. He became a track and sign evaluator through the CyberTracker system in January 2008, some four years after studying with Elbroch. He taught a few tracking workshops in East Texas that were enthusiastically received. "They went nuts," he says. "They were like, 'This is the coolest stuff ever. We've all wanted to know this stuff our whole lives, and there's never been a way to learn it.' " He has since evaluated nearly 140 Texas Parks biologists; recently Alaska Fish and Game expressed interest in working with him.
The next morning we meet northeast of Seattle at the Bob Heirman Wildlife Preserve, a wet, verdant riparian valley with towering maples and willows. Moss dangles from their thick limbs, and fog hangs over a large pond. Along a muddy footpath several tracks have been circled, and everyone's pant legs and knees are slick with mud. When we review the answers, Moskowitz argues strongly with McFarland over whether a vole or rat had made the print until the rest of the group, exasperated, moves on. It is Moskowitz's first wrong answer.
Brian McConnell, a third evaluator, explains the next set of muddy tracks, pointing to four small paw prints. One of only two certified "trailing" evaluators in the country, McConnell grew up in Arkansas hardwood forests and speaks with a southern twang. His mother used to toss him out of the house on Saturday mornings with no invitation to return until evening, so he learned to hunt and fish and quietly follow animals for the fun of it. He explains that trailers--whose goal it is to find an animal--use track and sign skills to help them. "A really good [trailer] looks like they're taking a walk through the woods, and they use the tracks just to confirm where they already think they should go."
McConnell describes how the deep mud makes it challenging to accurately identify the Douglas squirrel prints' typical features--long, slender toes, a significant distance between the metacarpal pads and toes, and two front tracks that are usually paired close together. We are all peering at the marks when Moskowitz interjects, "No, it's an eastern gray," and begins to defend his answer.
"Could we have somebody else talk for a little bit," someone asks, and the group erupts in nervous giggles. Tkaczyk argues that the front tracks don't turn in like those of a Douglas squirrel, until Moskowitz breaks in, stating that the width between the tracks suggests a gray squirrel. McConnell and McFarland concede the question was difficult and that maybe they would throw it out, but just then Elbroch returns from a walk and crouches down to examine the evidence. "To me it's very simple. Just look at the picture. Look how big that is," he says, pulling out a field guide with life-size gray squirrel tracks. Holding the picture next to the actual ones, he says, "It's friggin' huge."
The tense back-and-forth continues for a good 15 minutes. But it strikes me as progress, and just the sort Louis Liebenberg and Wilson Masia sought: watching a hunter, an environmental educator, and an emerging scientist passionately debate the measurements of a Douglas squirrel track.
Several test stations later, the evaluation concludes beneath a highway underpass where the fine dirt is littered with tracks from an opossum and an American robin and the difficult-to-identify trails of a salamander, a Western jumping mouse, and a shrew mole. Some of those being assessed work on wilderness corridor projects trying to locate the routes animals use to traverse urban development, and in many cases they choose the clear areas under highways.
In the end, of the 12 test takers, only Moskowitz earns the specialist certification. Dave Scott, a former guard at Guantanamo Bay, missed it by half a point. He stares at the ground, hands in his pockets, looking shocked and sad. He had studied hard. Now an environmental educator who is coauthoring a book on feather identification with McFarland, he just can't believe his near miss. But less than five minutes later he's grinning and seems to have the right perspective. "I'm a better tracker today than I was yesterday morning," he says.
The same holds true for Tkaczyk, Knight, and Martin. All four earned their Track and Sign Specialist certificates this past spring.

(Tuesday May 15, 2011 SEATTLE, WA) - The 5th Avenue Awards Honoring High School Musical Theatre celebrates its tenth anniversary with a bang this year, bringing previous recipients back to the stage to present the next generation of musical theater stars with awards and accolades. The acclaimed program, sponsored by Wells Fargo, is a High School version of the Tony Awards, and allows theater students from across Washington to meet, celebrate, and honor the exceptional musical theater productions presented during the 2011-12 school year. The 5th Avenue Awards will be held at 7:00 PM, Monday, June 4, at The 5th Avenue Theatre.
The power of participating in the arts is profound and has a lasting impact on young participants. Created by 5th Avenue Theatre Producing Director Bill Berry a decade ago, The 5th Avenue Awards shine the spotlight on High School musical theater programs and offer theater students the kind of support and recognition that accomplished High School athletes have received for decades. Over the last ten years, many schools have reported back to The 5th Avenue that their involvement in this awards program has significantly helped their individual efforts to secure funding, improve curriculum, and increase student participation.
Since its inception, the program has grown in size and scope, from 24 productions and 3100 students in 2003 to 93 productions and over 9,000 students participating this year. For the 2011-12 High School theater season, 191 nominations and 99 honorable mentions were given to the 93 productions in various categories. Over the past 10 years, evaluators have traveled to schools across the state of Washington, from large schools in urban districts, to those in smaller rural communities, and the mission has always been the same: to honor the work, talent and commitment that students, parents and faculty devote to their school's yearly musical productions.
Each year, schools from across Washington State apply their musicals for consideration by The 5th Avenue Awards Committee. Evaluators selected by The 5th travel across the state to cities as far away as Spokane, Lynden, Sequim and Vancouver, seeking the best actors and actresses, directors and designers to represent their schools in the hotly anticipated annual event. During the past school year, The 5th Avenue Theatre sent teams of theater professionals to evaluate each school's production. Nominations are made in 21 categories, from "Lobby Display" to "Overall Musical Production."
Nominated students and schools will perform excerpts from their shows and get a taste of what it's like to perform in front of a packed house. An estimated 2,100 High School students are expected to attend, along with their families and friends.
As The 5th approaches this milestone, it looks back on the years with pride and amazement at how the program has grown and at how many of the past participants have gone on to have fruitful careers both on stage and behind the scenes. Numerous past participants of the 5th Avenue Awards have gone on to have notable careers as actors, directors, designers and theater administrators. Several participants have had careers outside of Seattle and have enjoyed national acclaim. Stefano Langone was a recent top 10 contestant on the hit television show American Idol and Ryah Nixon appeared in the national tour of 9 to 5: the Musical. Brandon Ivie recently directed the 5th Avenue's acclaimed production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, and was the Assistant to the Writers on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical Next to Normal and Dramaturge on Broadway's Catch Me if You Can. Additional past participants have included 5th Avenue favorites Jared Michael Brown, Gabe Corey, Sarah Davis, Kirsten DeLohr Helland, Diana Huey, and Cayman Ilika, among many others.
For a full list of our nominees, visit our 2012 5th Avenue Awards Nominees<http://www.5thavenue.org/education/highschoolawards-2009.aspx> page at http://www.5thavenue.org/education/student-programs#5th-avenue-awards. Tickets for the Awards Ceremony are $27.50 for adults, $16.50 for students, and are available through participating schools. Tickets for the general public are subject to availability and are only on sale the day of the ceremony.

According to Kim Pierce, Diana Kennedy will be in Fort Worth this weekend, overseeing a Friday night dinner and Saturday lunch at Cafe Modern. Unless you've got a funeral or chocolate conference to attend, you should be there.
Also, if you don't already have the Spanish original, pre-order the English version of her Oaxaca book which comes out next month. (Well, unless you've pre-ordered Myrhvold's book, in which case Kennedy's work will be totally obsolete.)

Last week, Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland, announced that he will be sending a junior minister to the British Open, a prestigious golf tournament, instead of attending it himself. He's an avid golfer and is not forgoing the event out of disinterest. Rather on a matter of principle: the club hosting the event does not admit women as members. In about a month, the tournament will be held at Muirfield, a privately-owend club that is run by the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which only allows male members. Salmond feels the male-only membership rule of the club sends the message that women are "second-class citizens" and that Muirfield should have been made to change its membership rules before it was considered for the honor of hosting the tournament. Alas, discrimination against women in golf is nothing new. The Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, just admitted its first female members last year after a long, long time of feminists protesting this injustice. For some reason, golf clubs have gotten away with not admitting women for an unreasonable amount of time. What's up with that?! [Telegraph UK] [Photo of a woman golfing via Shutterstock]

YouTube Videos Get Interactive
Reading through my daily does of Internet News I came across a really interesting feature added to YouTube.
The feature allows users to make their videos more interactive with users allowing the people watching to participate in the actual video.
The new features allows users to;
- To add background information about the video
- Create stories with multiple possibilities (viewers click to choose the next scene)
- Link to related YouTube videos, channels, or search results from within a video
The feature is called Video Annotations and there are a few videos which demonstrate how these videos will look like, here is a nice little card trick which requires user interaction.
If you are looking to create such videos you can head over to the help section which discusses how to create Video Annotations.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Patton Robinette threw two 50-yard touchdown passes to Jordan Matthews, and Vanderbilt recovered after blowing a 24-point lead to beat Houston 41-24 on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
Robinette, starting after senior Austyn Carta-Samuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, also had an 8-yard scoring run as Vanderbilt built a 24-0 lead in the first half.
After Houston (8-4) pulled even by scoring 24 points in the third quarter, Vanderbilt reclaimed the lead on Brian Kimbrow's 21-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
Vanderbilt (9-4) closed the season with five straight wins, adding to third-year coach James Franklin's status as a possible candidate for coaching vacancies, including at Penn State and with the NFL Browns and Redskins. The Commodores played in three straight bowl games under Franklin - a first for the program - and completed their first back-to-back nine-win seasons.
Vandy players doused Franklin with a water bucket in the final seconds.

Reading is one of the finest habits that a person can have. Previously when there were no televisions people used to spend their time by reading books. It was through books that people used to try knowing the world outside. They used to become members of libraries so that they can read more books. But this habit of reading books is continually degrading due to the vast impact of internet. People spent a lot more time in chatting than reading. But still those who love reading, reads in whatever form the information comes.
As I had penned down in my previous blog that reading habit should be inculcated in a child from his early age. I feel that this habit has only positive aspect and no harmfulness.
The first advantage of reading habit is that it helps to improve a child's vocabulary.
As a child starts reading he gets to know many new words which are new to him. But as he reads the words as part of the story, sometimes he himself guesses the meaning of the word by himself. This power of deciphering the meaning of a word by it its implementation is very useful in competitive examinations.
By reading books, not only the stock of words increases but also the child is exposed various forms of writing which helps him in developing his writing skill. I had observed during my schooldays that my friends who used to read books had very good literary skill. The essays and answers written by them had an ornamental style of writing which were appreciated by our teachers a lot. It is obvious that children reading books are more knowledgeable than others. Their General Knowledge is more and as a result they excelled in debate, quizzes, essay writing and in many competitive fields. And remember, knowledge once earned can be spent throughout your life. I have myself leveraged the knowledge gained from reading various books in different competitive exams.
It is seen that children who start reading at an early stage have more IQ, have good language skills and grasp the variances of phonics better.
Reading helps to improve concentration in a child. Readings of various books by different writers help the children to understand the style of writing of various periods and differentiate the same from the contemporary style. It is observed that children who have the reading habit tend more for self training and self learning rather than from tutors. This makes them self sufficient and fast learners. Children engrossed in reading have less chances of getting diverted and spoilt.
I personally feel that due to my reading habit from childhood, I was always at an advantage from other children of my class.
Not only did I score good marks in Literature, but also competed in debate, quizzes which helped me in getting recognition in school. And to be very honest, every student feels good when his or her teachers appreciate him or her beyond studies and students from other classes recognizes him or her. I still feel proud that my teachers still recognizes me when I meet them in streets and they call me by my name.
I have interests in varied topics ranging from cartoons to cookery to share markets. This interests grew in me due to my reading habits from childhood. When I used to give private tuition to many school children in my local area, I used to discuss Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter with them. Again when I am with my colleagues in office, I guide them how to plan their taxes.
During dinner, I discuss new recipes with my Mother. People trust me and try to get advice from me. This is not because that I am more knowledgeable but I have more information than them. Thanks to my READING habit which has helped me to what I am today.

Why Electronic Cigarettes Can Be Smoked Anywhere And Are Beneficial
Many people around the world suffer from all kinds of addictions. Some are addicted to drugs. Some are addicted to alcohol. The most common thing that people are addicted to is nicotine. There are many different alternatives to smoking. One alternative is an electronic cigarette. Electronic cigarettes can be smoked every place imaginable. Some people are hesitant to buy electronic cigarettes though. This is mainly because they don't know the benefits of using them. There are many benefits of an electronic cigarette.
Electronic cigarettes are much healthier than actual cigarettes. Cigarettes are known to contain many different kinds of toxic chemicals in them. This includes tar. Some menthol cigarettes are even known to contain fiber glass in them. Electronic cigarettes have none of these chemicals in them.
Electronic cigarettes have the same taste as real cigarettes. The taste helps make the transition from real cigarettes to electronic cigarettes much easier to bear. They even have some electronic cigarettes that look exactly the same as a real cigarette would.
Electronic cigarettes leave absolutely no smell behind at all. This is one of the main reasons electronic cigarettes can be smoked in every place that doesn't allow real cigarettes. Real cigarette smoke leaves behind a horrible odor in everything it comes in contact with. This smell can last in things such as clothing and furniture for many years. I does not matter how often the items are washed.
People are able to get what is commonly known as a nicotine fix with electronic cigarettes. One of the main benefits of this is that it doesn't damage the body the way real cigarettes would. Real cigarettes can damage a person's sense of smell and taste buds. This is especially true after many years of smoking.
Many people even reported that electronic cigarettes have helped them to quit smoking entirely. Electronic cigarettes can come in settings with three different strengths. These different strengths are high medium and low. The person can use electronic cigarettes to help quit smoking by gradually reducing the strength of the electronic cigarette. Once the person is used to the lowest strength setting on an electronic cigarette they are normally able to quit smoking. Many people sometimes keep an electronic cigarette for either social purposes or just in case they feel a nicotine attack.
There are many different reasons that an electronic cigarette could be beneficial to a person. They can help the person quit smoking. They are healthier for the person. They can be smoked relatively anywhere. There are no laws preventing a person to smoke an electronic cigarette in any building they choose to. This is because they do not leave a lingering smell like regular cigarettes do. They are even known to be cheaper than cigarettes because they do not have to be bought as much as regular cigarettes do.

I don't know much about the history or shaping or anything in that sense, but all I know is that it looks like a really fun board to ride in small waves.
I went from a 7'4'' Frenchy's Longboard to basically boards shorter than 6'4'', and now I surf a 5'11'' JS Blakbox. I say it would depend on the size waves your surfing, but I think any board like...
I made one last summer that is able to fit 4 boards, 2 shelves basically, attached by rope, with 2 boards on top of each other on each shelf. I'll post a picture in a few minutes, just need to take...
Totally agreed. Sorry not specific enough...Any swell in the ocean?
I'm going to Maine for Thanksgiving and I'm wondering if people think there is going to be swell. Usually there is...but every website I've looked at has shown nothing...
What do you think?
I surfed Second Beach on Saturday...It was fun.
Thanks guys.
I know this is a little late but I ended up getting a 5'11'' JS Blak Box
The Flyers great for overhead waves. It handles very well and you can really whip it around.
Yeah, I have a 6'2" Flyer also but I want something a little smaller that I can really whip around easily. I'm thinking about the Merrick Whip. Any thoughts?
Yeah I also have a 6"2' Flyer so that's what I use in bigger waves.
I surf northeast...Maine to be more specific. We tend to have weird swells and very mushy and small waves. I'm looking for a shortboard that I can rip around and control very easily so I can do...
I live in southern Maine during the summer and we did have big waves during Bill but nothing like this. Though we did have the occasional waves that would just stun everyone, nothing close to this.
Yeah. 3/2 is for sure the way to go. I surf southern Maine and that's all I use. Come surf like Gooch's beach, Ogunquit River Mouth, York Beach...Those are all about 1 1/2 hours from Boston.
I agree. Maybe you should try to squeeze in a session. It's totally worth it I think. But you aren't going to be the only one out there.
Well, what type of beach are you surfing? California waves? North Carolina? Florida? Maine?
Well I have a 7'6'' Frenchys which was my fun board but is starting to fall apart. I also have a 6'2''...
Yeah dude good luck with recovery.

Costs and charges for tenants
We are up-front with our fees and charges so you don't get a nasty shock when you find your perfect home.
We find homes for a variety of tenants, across the UK, most of whom have had very little advice or information on their rights or tenancy law. Our role goes beyond showing you properties. We explain your tenant rights for example, prior to renting. We can do this over the phone, via email or in person, in a number of languages, so contact us and we will be happy to help.
The rental process
We may find and rent a property to you within a matter of days, so you need to understand the rental process before finding a private property to rent. To protect both tenant and landlord rights you will have to go through a series of checks, referencing and sign tenancy agreements. We always want you to rent or buy through us, so we don't just organise viewings; we help you at every stage of the complex rental process, including making and negotiating an offer.
Once you have received the best housing advice on renting, our lettings experts can provide you with a detailed tenant guide, ask for this from your local office.
Costs of renting a home
There are three types of costs you need to budget for when renting a property. The first is the cost of renting a home from a letting agent; the second, the bills you have to pay on top of the rent. The third to budget for is the deposit you will have to pay - usually the equivalent of between 6 to 8 weeks rent. Not all letting agents or landlords will explain costs up front but we believe it is important to be clear from the start.
Our tenant charges
Working with you to find a property that matches your needs is a free service we carry out on behalf of our landlords. Once we have found a home for you to rent, our charges are:
|Reference checks per person (by independent specialist)
|£36 (inc VAT)
|Reference checks for a guarantor (by independent specialist)
|£36 (inc VAT)
|Contribution to tenancy agreement
|£240 (inc VAT)
|Inventory check (paid at end of tenancy)
|Dependent on size of the property
|Extension and renewal documentation (paid at renewal)
|£120 (inc VAT)
Other bills, over and above your rent, will be explained for each individual property by one of our lettings experts.

Prime London average rents restored to peak levels, but growth is not uniform
29 July 2014
Stronger economic sentiment and a more buoyant employment market have translated into increased corporate budgets and a pick up in the prime lettings market in the first half of 2014, finally restoring average prime London rental values to their 2007 peak.
Corporate relocation asserts its dominance as a key driver of London's prime rental markets
15 July 2014
Almost half of all tenants in prime London are renting due to employment relocation, demonstrating the increasingly important role of corporate demand in the prime rental markets across world cities.

It was the most spectacular intergalactic moment since Spock was resurrected from the dead in Star Trek III. At last week's ShoWest convention in Las Vegas, Patrick Stewart and William Shatner, Star Trek's two famed captains, announced plans for the long-awaited melding of their sci-fi series. ''The morning after The Next Generation aired for the first time (in 1987),'' began Stewart, ''I was gassing my car when someone stopped me and said, 'I loved your show are you guys making a movie?' But I knew that a (Next Generation) movie would have to have Bill Shatner.'' He then turned to Shatner and said proudly, ''In three weeks we will be sharing the same set.''
On March 24, Star Trek: Generations begins filming in L.A. But getting Generations off the ground has been more trouble than a Tribble. The seventh film in the Trek movie franchise (which has grossed more than $475 million in the U.S. alone), Generations will focus on Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart), who must rescue Capt. James Kirk (Shatner) from what a source calls a ''terribly destructive phenomenon that travels through space where past, present, and futures converge.'' One of the project's biggest stumbling blocks, however, has been trying to figure out who'll be joining Kirk and Picard on the bridge.
Shatner will most likely share space with some other Trek regulars, including Nichelle Nichols and DeForest Kelley, but not Leonard Nimoy. ''I was sent the script that (producer) Rick Berman wrote and was asked to direct as well as act in it,'' says Nimoy, who directed Star Trek III. ''I told Rick what my concerns were, he told me he thought there wasn't enough time to address them, and we parted company.'' Nimoy, who appeared in a two-part episode of Next Generation in 1991, won't elaborate on why he turned down the movie, and will say only, ''I just didn't respond to (the script). I wish them bon voyage.'' He adds, ''I am sad about it.''
Not all is shipshape with the younger crew, either. Every Next Generation cast member has been invited to participate in the movie, but only Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi), Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker), and Whoopi Goldberg (who has had a recurring role on the series) have signed on. Brent Spiner, who plays Data, is still in contract negotiations with Paramount. ''Has every negotiation been signed, sealed, and delivered? No,'' says Berman. ''Am I confident that they'll all be in the movie? Yes.''
Despite a few cosmetic changes the crew will don spiffier uniforms director David Carson (who helmed the premiere of Deep Space Nine) insists the movie will stay true to Next Generation. Berman sees only one major difference: ''After seven years in TV, we couldn't resist one change there is a four-letter word in there.''
But that's not the only surprise. While Generations has been scripted to end with the death of Kirk, one production source says don't count on it. ''He's probably the most beloved character,'' says the source. ''Kirk may be stuck in the 21st century forever, if Shatner has an opinion.'' After all, there's always the possibility of an eighth Trek movie. ''We're not planning to do a sequel,'' says Berman, ''but we commissioned two original scripts and the other one is far from dead. When we see how this movie performs, we may start reworking the other.'' It sounds logical even to Nimoy. ''I'm not sure the fat lady has sung yet,'' he says of his involvement in Star Trek. ''Anything is possible in science fiction.''

From James Bond to the Queen, Voldemort to Poppins to Beckham to Sir Paul: Darren Franich breaks it down
Yes, it's impressive that Danny Boyle convinced the Queen of England to participate in a James Bond short film. But you know what's even more impressive? The moment when Bond looks out of the window of the helicopter and smiles at the Queen's dogs. Scientists estimate that this is the first recorded smile on Daniel Craig's face in at least three decades.

As Secretary of State in the Eisenhower Administration, John Foster Dulles was a major player in Washington.
Most known as a crusader against communism, Carol Burnett also wrote a song about him and Washington D.C.'s biggest airport bears his name. But it's a life and career that started in his hometown of Watertown. In part one of a two part series, Our Brian Dwyer and Photojournalist R.D. White took a look back at Dulles and the roots he never forgot.
WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- "I made a fool of myself over John Foster Dulles," sang Carol Burnett.
"You can look around the whole circle of the world and you find one spot after another, after another, after another where the question is are we going to lose this bit of the free world. Is it going to be Iran? Is it going to be Egypt? Is it going to be Indo-China or Korea?" Dulles said in an interview during his time as Secretary of State.
John Foster Dulles was born in Washington, D.C. back in 1888.
As a baby his family moved to Watertown, N.Y. As his life took shape, he'd end up right where he started, tapped as Secretary of State under Dwight Eisenhower.
St. Lawrence University Foreign Affairs Professor Robert Wells said, "People would have remembered him as the individual who really got the treaty of peace and security for Japan. That was in the mid '50's. The way in which he handled that, which was a very delicate thing, I think that's why Eisenhower picked him."
"Many times when he gave speeches in the North Country he would remind people that he was just a Watertown boy and he learned what he knew in this world because of his Watertown experiences," said Johnson Newspaper Corp. Chairman & CEO John Johnson Jr.
"Ever since the Berlin agreement to seek peace in Indo-China, the communist forces have stepped up the intensity and the scope of their aggression," Dulles said in an old interview.
"Strong opinions that he backed up in awesome intellect. Brilliant, brilliant family," said Johnson.
A family that owned a lakefront cottage in Henderson Harbor, the place they'd all re-unite each summer and on holidays. He also bought the most remote piece of land on Lake Ontario, Main Duck Island.
"John Foster would, it seemed like he always came up here at Thanksgiving time. He'd fly out to the Main Ducks and they'd leave him off there. It's a pusher plane that Dick Benson from Beaver Falls would fly for him. He would go out there and the great solitude of the Ducks, there's no electricity out there. It's just terrific. Nobody bothers you. It's just a great destination for fishing. It's just great."
Communication was so difficult, the only way Washington could get a hold of him, was through the radio. A CBS show called "World News Roundup." Dulles would listen everyday and if a story started by saying, "This news will be of particular interest to Secretary of State Dulles," he knew he needed to find a phone.
"He did have Bob Hart out there on the mainland and Dick Benson. They'd think nothing of flying out there. They didn't care what the weather was. They'd just go."
Author of "Overthrow", Stephen Kinser said, "In later life he was an elder of the Presbyterian Church and a member of Union Theological Seminaries Board of Directors. After his death he was described as the only religious leader, lay or clerical, ever to become Secretary of State."
"He never ever really forgot his roots in Northern New York. Ever," said Johnson.
As Carol Burnett sang, "The first time I saw him was at the U.N. I never have been one swoon over men. "
The State Office Building in Watertown was named after Dulles in 1983.

OpenSuSE 11 How-to problems
First a couple of observations.
I downloaded the iso from the OpenSuSE Site and then followed the Gnome install procedure for the rest of the way.
At the end when I tried to update, I get quite a few dependency errors.
Quite a few of the Apps that were setup to install (like Java, Flash Player etc) were already pre-installed.
Google Earth wouldn't install and some of the installed apps just don't work at all.
Now for the question.
I need to install a Novell Client it doesn't!!! I found a few TIDS on the web but none of them work - Has anyone achieved this yet on the latest download iso?

When Does Life Insurance Go Into Effect?
- 3680 POINTSJ Scott BurkePROPresident, Newbury Inc., Evansville, IndianaLife insurance goes into effect the minute that you are approved, accept the offer and pay your 1st premium.
When you get life insurance quotes, they are just guestimates of what you will be offered. Then you fill out the application. The company reviews your application and verifies your health history and then they make you an actual offer. The offer may be higher, lower or the same as the original quote you were first quoted.
Once you recieve the offer, you can accept it in writing or not accept it. If you accept it and make your first payment, you are covered.
There are some policies that are sold by mail order companies (Globe, Mutual of Omaha, Physicians Mutual, AARP, etc.) which are called "guaranteed issue life insurance." Those policies work differently. With those everyone gets the same rate because they just price them like everyone is in very bad health. You sign up through the mail but you really don't have any coverage until you have paid them 25 payments over 24-months time. No ONE should buy a policy like this unless you have exhausted all other options. These are last resort policies for people in nursing homes or under hospice care.
An agent that specializes with the ytpe of life insurance you want can help you get the most coverage for your premium dollar.Answered on April 13, 2013+11 +1+1 this answer

[856] OCT4 Staining in Diagnosis of Micrometastasis in Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissections.
Theodore Kieffer, Liang Cheng, Muhammad Idrees. Indiana University, Indianapolis
Background: Immunohistochemical staining with OCT4 is a sensitive and specific marker for seminoma and embrynal carcinomas. Patients with stage I seminoma post orchiectomy may choose surveillance, adjuvant therapy, or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) to manage occult metastasis. RPLND has staging and therapeutic value, and proper staging is extremely important. We developed a study to assess the utility of OCT4 staining in identifying micrometastasis in RPLND in seminoma patients.
Design: Forty-five RPLNDs with primary or metastatic seminoma were identified in the archives. The cases were subdivided into virgin RPLND with clinical suspicion (VRPLND+CS), virgin RPLND without clinical suspicion (VRPLND-CS), and postchemotherapy RPLND (PC RPLND). H&E slides were reviewed and representative blocks were chosen that were initially read as negative or containing multiple benign nodes. Sections were stained with polyclonal goat anti-OCT4 antibody and viewed with light microscopy. Additional positive lymph nodes were identified.
Results: 262 lymph nodes from 45 RPLND cases were reviewed: 13 VRPLND+CS, 11 VRPLND-CS, and 21 PC RPLND. Clinical suspicion was defined as adenopathy or elevated germ cell serum markers. 21 additional positive lymph nodes were identified in 12 cases (Table 1). There was no change in diagnosis after OCT4 immunostaining. The greatest difference between pre OCT4 staining and post OCT4 staining was seen in VRPLND+CS (12.6%) followed by PC RPLND (7.4%) then VRPLND-CS (4.1%).
