Crop Tour July 30, 2013
On day three, the final route of this year's crop tour, we traveled through central Illinois and back to St. Louis.
The corn crop through central Illinois was mixed. We found pockets of obvious stress, but in most cases corn looked good from outside the field, but once inside a few rows, evidence of significant moisture stress became apparent. This was more subtle that the firing and plant stress that we noted on Monday in Iroquois, County near Kankakee, IL but dryness was negatively impacting the crop in part of central IL as well. Some fields in this area from just east of Peoria south to Lincoln, IL had high ear counts, but ear size may be a limiting factor. Early fields were in the milk-to dough stage, which was the most mature corn we found on the entire crop tour. Ear length was well below normal in the higher stress fields. With recent rains and improved weather during August, the later corn that was just silking may have a better chance to fill. Even though this area has some issues, our rating of the crop was better than it has been in the past few years because this region had problems not only with the 2012 drought, but yields were also under some pressure from dryness in 2011 and 2010 as well.
The prospects for soybeans in central Illinois remained strong as we concluded our 2013 tour and headed back into St Louis on Tuesday afternoon. To the extent that there are any distinguishing characteristics among the fields, it was largely limited to subtle variations in growth and development. The outward appearance of the crop in this key growing region of Illinois is among the best for our records. Weather stands as a risk as it would any year with most of the main reproductive period ahead. Thus there is still the potential for destructive weather. Weather was cooperating with the crop today, as there was steady rain on us most of the morning in central Illinois. It was precisely the type of weather that was needed for the crop on July 30 following recent drier than normal conditions.

|Finished this GOG today. Tried to get the fill in colors to show but couldn't get light right. The left side is dk blue and from the center to the far right is dk purple. Needs to be cleaned and grouted but wanted to get the pic posted.
Follow-Up Postings:
|That is really pretty; as a survivor myself (almost 5 years now), I know the recipient of this will be so touched that you made this. It's a very emotional time, and this is such a nice thing for you to do for her. (I may be wrong, but I am assuming this is for the person you mentioned in your bb post?) The dark background really compliments the pink tile. Very pretty!
|Congrats to you Gcpommom!!
I like the colors you chose...it really sets off the pink and I like that it goes from one color to the next....like hope gets brighter or rosier or purplier or something...I know what I feel in my mind, can't convey it in the right words...but THIS IS GREAT!!!

|Gcpommom my mom is a survivor of breast cancer for 28 yrs so I know what it takes to get thru a trauma like this. Am so glad that you are with us today. Yes this is for the girl who's husband I work with. The BB i am doing for a stranger I have just met. Her mother has just been diagnosed and just started cemo. Thanks Cindiloo I think we both had the same thots about flowing from one color to the other. It's hard to explain the feeling I get when I finished this. It's different than when I finish other projects. Can't put it in words.

Change in Directors or Principal Officers
Performance Share Awards to Certain Named Executive Officers
On December 11, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (the "Company") awarded to certain of the Company's named executive officers performance-based restricted stock unit awards under the Company's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The following sets forth the number of shares subject to each of the awards for the applicable named executive officers:
Performance-Based Name Restricted Stock Units Thomas Gutierrez 152,068 Daniel Squiller 93,978 Richard Gaynor 50,122
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award
The performance-based restricted stock units (the "Performance RSUs") vest based on the achievement of certain share performance goals that were established by the Compensation Committee as follows: (i) the vesting of 50% of the Performance RSUs shall be subject to the achievement of certain operational goals in connection with the Company's agreement with Apple Inc.; provided, however, that vesting shall occur on the later of December 31, 2014 or the date on which such goal is achieved and (ii) the vesting of 50% of the Performance RSUs shall be subject to the achievement of certain target revenue as established by the Compensation Committee at the meeting on December 11, 2013; provided, however, that vesting shall occur on December 31, 2015 if such target is achieved prior to such date. To the extent that all or a portion of the Performance RSUs have not vested on January 1, 2016, all of the Performance RSUs shall expire on such date.
The terms of the Performance RSU agreements awarded to the applicable named executive officers provide that upon a termination of such executive officer's employment by the Company without "Cause" (as defined in the Performance RSU agreement), or by the executive officer for "Good Reason" (as defined in the Performance RSU agreement), in each case within twelve months following a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Performance RSU agreement), all of the unvested Performance RSUs shall vest.
In addition, the terms of the Performance RSU agreements awarded to the applicable named executive officers provide that such awards may vest following the retirement of the applicable executive officer if (A) the sum of the total years of such executive officer's service at the
Company plus his age is equal to (or greater than) 65, and (B) such executive officer (1) has at least 5 years of service at the Company and (2) is at least 60 years old and (3) the executive officer has signed a release satisfactory to the Company. In the event that the applicable executive officer has violated any non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disclosure or similar agreement he has entered into with the Company, upon such violation, the executive officer shall forfeit all unvested shares subject to the Performance RSU.
Fiscal Year 2013 Bonus Award
On December 11, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved a special bonus for certain of the Company's executive officers, including certain of the named executive officers. The Compensation Committee took note of the fact that the Company's short-term financial results had been negatively impacted by the redirection of resources necessary for the Company's entry into the materials business. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee determined that the financial goals necessary for payment under the 162(m) Plan are not likely to be met.
In making the determination to award a special bonus, the Compensation Committee considered the following factors: (i) the Company's management was able to successfully execute on its goal of driving the adoption of sapphire materials in non-LED markets as evidenced by its recent agreement with Apple, (ii) the continued success of the Company in diversifying its current and future product base and applications and (iii) the increase in shareholder value that the Company's stockholders benefited from during fiscal 2013. The Committee believed that this performance and these strategic accomplishments exemplify the strength of the business model the management team has put in place and positions the Company to achieve positive results.
The Compensation Committee noted that given the challenges that all companies were facing in the solar and sapphire industries, the Company's management was able to operate the business during the year and improve future prospects that resulted in a marked increase in shareholder value during the course of the year. This was, ultimately, one of the key metrics of performance that the Compensation Committee wanted the Company's management to focus on and that the results achieved warranted recognition. The Compensation Committee noted that the Company's price per share of common stock at the opening on the first day of fiscal 2013 was $3.18 and at the close on December 10, 2013, the price closed at $8.55, representing an approximately 169% increase in shareholder value.
In light of the foregoing performance and business execution, the Compensation Committee determined to award a special bonus to the following named executive officers' in the amounts set forth opposite their names:
Name Special Bonus Payment Thomas Gutierrez $ 1,250,000 Daniel Squiller $ 772,500 Richard Gaynor $ 412,000 David Keck $ 386,250
The special bonus payment will be made to the foregoing named executive officers during the quarter ending December 31, 2013.

TFMS Alumni: Where Are They Now?
While at SMCM, Paul directed the White Room production of Chekhov's "The Three Sisters," appeared as Don Armado in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost and as Agamemnon in Aeschylus's Agamemnon, and crafted a new translation/adaptation of Frank Wedekind's "Spring Awakening" for his St. Mary's Project. ("Spring Awakening" subsequently received a stage reading in the Kennedy Center's 2007 Page to Stage Festival.)
Judy was a two-time recipient of the Arts Alliance Award for Excellence in Film and Media Studies (2008, 2009) at SMCM for her classroom and studio work, and was an accomplished stage performer during her time at the college.
Since graduation, Adam has worked as an actor, educator, and an acting educator with a number of different theater groups and schools in the D.C. area as well as a half-year stint in Americorps.
Adam misses his time at St. Mary's and encourages students to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge offered by the amazing faculty of the TFMS department!
Since graduating from SMCM, Josh has performed at Mystery Dinner Playhouse in Arlington, VA and became a company member of The Shakespeare Factory Players in Sykesville, MD. In addition, he has directed several well-received plays in Baltimore and Annapolis and has acted regionally in D.C., Baltimore, and Virginia.
While at SMCM, Josh was an avid performer and director. He acted in several main stage shows, including The Serpent, The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Balcony, and with the world-famous Bread and Puppet Theater during its residency in fall 2008. He directed several shows for the student-run performance space, The White Room, for which he served as president, and on the main stage, for which he produced his St. Mary's Project in theater, Eric Bogosian's subUrbia, for the 2008-2009 theater season.
Molly was the first recipient of the Arts Alliance Award for Excellence in Film and Media Studies at SMCM for her classroom and scholarly work, including for her SMP thesis on Latin American Revolutionary Cinema.
After graduation, Graham first substitute taught in the St. Mary's County public schools, then began teaching full-time at Great Mills High School (2005-2007). Finding teaching to be more full of inherent failure and rejection than an acting career could possibly be, he moved on, vowing still to return to grad school one day and then teach again.
When Graham left public school teaching, he joined the community of professional theatre artists in the Baltimore/Washington D.C. metro area as an actor, producer, critic, and clown. Since fall 2008, he has worked continuously as an actor, performing with various area companies, including: Faction of Fools (D.C.'s commedia dell'arte theater company), with whom he is an associate artist; the legendary (now defunct) Baltimore Shakespeare Festival; Bay Theatre in Annapolis; Constellation Theatre; WSC Avant Bard; the Maryland Renaissance Festival; the Washington Revels; Happenstance Theater; American Century Theater; Molotov Theatre; Fells Point Corner Theater; Mobtown Players; and the Theatrical Mining Company. He is a regular performer at D.C.'s Clown Cabaret in his character of Nebbishy Neville. He and SMCM alum Allison M. C. Clapp have also collaborated to co-found an environmental and interactive theatre company, Cloudism, which premiered in D.C. with the 2011 Capital Fringe production of "cloudism". Graham is also a critic with Maryland Theatre Guide, and has appeared in several short films.

July 15, 2011 - Field Notes
Noteworthy News from the Division of Fish, Wildlife, and Marine Resources
Significant Notes
- Raising Awareness for Turtles!
As nearly half of all turtle species are identified as threatened with extinction around the world, the Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) along with other Conservation groups have designated 2011 as the Year of the Turtle! Over 200 million years ago, turtles first appeared in the fossil record during the Triassic Period, with today's turtles bearing much resemblance to their ancestors. Despite their long evolutionary history, turtles are now in danger of disappearing due to a variety of threats including habitat loss, overexploitation, pet trade, hunting for use in traditional medicine, by-catch, invasive species, disease, and climate change. The 2011 Year of the Turtle is an opportunity to raise awareness of these threats and to increase conservation actions to help reduce problems turtles face. To get more details and identify ways to help in conservation efforts, visit the PARC Year of the Turtle website (link leaves DEC website).

- Fox Sightings More Common in Summer.
DEC wildlife offices have received several calls in recent weeks regarding an apparent increase in red fox sightings within suburban areas. Fortunately, in most reported cases, the foxes were not displaying aggressiveness or other unusual behavior, which typically indicates rabies infection. While fox activity is primarily nocturnal, one reason for increased sightings is probably a result of adults searching for food during the daylight hours to meet the demands of their hungry pups. Another possible factor for more fox sightings is due to an increase in coyote populations within New York State. Coyotes and fox often do not co-exist, which can force fox to move into residential areas to set up their territories. For more information, visit the Red Fox webpage.

- Temporary Shellfish Harvest Closure in Three Mile Harbor.
From sunrise this Saturday, July 16 through sunrise Wednesday, July 21, the DEC Bureau of Marine Fisheries is temporarily closing all shellfish harvesting of mussels, clams, oysters, and scallops at Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton, NY. This is due to the large number of boats that visit the harbor to watch the "Great Bonac Fireworks Show" and remain in the area overnight. This increases the chance of illegal waste discharge into the water causing unsafe and unsanitary conditions for consumption of shellfish harvested in the area. Detailed maps and closure information can be found on the Special Shellfish Closure webpage.

- July 16 - New York Annual Loon Census.
If you like to watch loons, consider participating in the New York Annual Loon Census this Saturday, July 16, from 8-9 a.m. During the one hour period, observers record the number of adults, chicks, and immature loons they see. In recent years, about 500 observers have participated and submitted results from about 200 lakes. Conducted since 2001, the census provides data to monitor the status and trends of New York's breeding loon population in the Adirondack Park and the summering loon population across New York State. Similar loon counts are conducted in other Northeast states at the same time and date to help gather a broad regional overview of loon populations. The results help guide DEC and other conservation agencies in management decisions and policies that affect loons. To sign up for this event and get more information, visit the website of the Wildlife Conservation Society or the Biodiversity Research Institute (links leave DEC website). Also, learn some fun facts about this intriguing bird on DEC's Watchable Wildlife - Common Loon webpage.

Long Island is a popular summer destination for sea turtles! Out of the seven species of sea turtles, loggerhead, kemp's ridley, green, and leatherback are among the most frequent visitors to New York's coastal saltwaters. They travel here to feast on the abundance and assortment of crabs, molluscs, jellyfish, seagrass, and algae found in our marine waters before heading back to tropical waters in the fall.
A Conservation Note: A favorite meal for leatherback sea turtles is the jellyfish. Often times, plastic bags and balloons are mistaken for jellyfish and ingested. This creates an obstruction in the turtle's digestive path and leads to their eventual death. Please help this ancient turtle and other marine animals by using re-usable canvas and tote bags rather than plastic bags on your next shopping trip.

I'm a guy, like 100 percent dude. But I was born in a girl's body.Since sex and gender are frequently associated or conflated in most societies, including Western ones, babies with penises are designated baby boys and babies with vaginas are designated baby girls. Sometimes this gets difficult, of course. But "transgender" is an umbrella term that can be used to refer to all people whose genders don't match the ones they were designated. This includes (the most commonly depicted) "trans women" women who are designated male at birth, "trans men" men who are designated female at birth, and nonbinary people who don't identify as men or women (but can identify as a combination of men, women, and other genders), and even agender/neutrois people who don't identify as any established gender identity. There are also bigender people, who identify as both male and female, and are usually included in the "nonbinary" or "genderqueer" category above. Some activists stretch the definition to include everyone who doesn't conform to gender expectations, whether expectations about anatomy or behavior — this broader definition would include cross-dressers who otherwise still agree with whatever gender labels they got at birth. There's also academic and activist debate over whether some non-Western societies' "third genders" or "third sexes" — categories which are traditional but also not considered "male" or "female" — should be counted under "transgender"... but this isn't an Anthropology of Gender course. Origins Being transgender is frequently associated with a symptom known as gender dysphoria. It manifests differently between individuals, but generally speaking, it involves a sense of dissatisfaction with one's physical sex (hence "dysphoria"), and a wish to have a body of a different sex. Some symptoms that can occur but are, once again, not universal, include the feeling of "being in a wrong body", evaluating one's body by the standards of the other sex (even subconsciously), cross-gender dreams, transformation fantasies, and so on. However, an increasing amount of gender identities (such as nonbinary or agender identities) do not experience this - this does not make them any less transgender. Opinions are divided on whether gender dysphoria is inborn or a result of personality development. To the big picture, it is largely irrelevant. It can manifest at different ages, although subconscious manifestations of dysphoria can at times be traced to the time before conscious self-discovery. Consider the typical involuntary Gender Bender plot (such as in Ranma �, or with Roy in The Order of the Stick): the victim often outright hates or is ashamed by their new body, experiencing discomfort with it and seeking ways to remove the "curse". This is how many cisgender* people might react, while many transgender people would consider the "curse" a blessing. In fact, transition (see below) exists exactly because there's no convenient way in real life to quickly change a human's physical sex. If there was one, transition would largely be limited to social adaptation to the new gender role. Self-discovery Accepting one's own gender identity, or even acknowledging its existence, might take a while, going through stages of denial. This period seems to receive the least coverage in mainstream fiction, which is primarily concerned instead with either the start or the end (or near-end) of the path. An interesting phenomenon can take place that's essentially the reverse of gender dysphoria, which one may call "gender euphoria". It seems under-represented in fiction, if represented at all: Man, I Feel Like a Woman could be considered The Theme Park Version, but gender euphoria doesn't require any physical changes to actually occur. Transition Transition, the transgender "journey", is a twofold process, and in fact not universal — some choose not to undergo it at all. One side of it is socialization: learning and adopting the social patterns of the target gender, which by itself becomes progressively easier in the modern society as the gender roles themselves become blurred — however, with it come numerous issues of acceptance versus discrimination, as well as legal issues, of both of which a lot has been written in detail. The other side is physical change — becoming closer in appearance and function to the target sex — which can be motivated not just by desire of social acceptance, but also by psychological issues of self-esteem, and yes, the "wrong body" feeling. Much is written in details about physical transition as well, involving voice training/alteration, sex-specific steps (e.g. hair or breast removal), the proverbial hormone therapy, and the even more proverbial "op" — that is, genital surgery. Two myths need to be debunked there. First, hormones aren't Applied Phlebotinum — they can only do so much. While they do cause things like breast growth and thinning of body hair for trans women, or on the contrary, growth of body hair for trans men, as well as some voice changes and redistribution of body fat — they don't magically alter the skeleton to adjust body shape, nor do they remove facial hair, which has to be done separately. Some skeletal adjustments do happen - the skeleton is a living part of the body, after all, and there is increasing evidence that it continues to develop and change through adult life, but more slowly and on a much more subtle level - but they take years and may never have more than a slight visual effect. Finally: while the operation may be required for a legal identity change (depending on the geographical area), it's otherwise only one of the transition options available which a person may or may not need, and when the person does choose to undergo it, it always comes last, after a period of living under the new identity. Also, keep in mind that there is no one specific procedure. Terms like pre-op and post-op typically refer to genital reconstructive surgery (GRS or SRS), but there are a variety of surgical procedures that trans people may pursue- for example, many trans men find that having their breasts removed is a more important step than getting work done below the belt. Easy Sex Change only exists in TV Land. Transsexual vs. Transgender Often these two terms get conflated and confused but with good reason. A common perception is that transsexual people are those who have surgery and transgender people do not. While the former is mostly accurate the latter is not always so. There are people who view the term transsexual as too stigmatizing and argue that it contributes to the conflation between gender and biological sexual organs and avoid it, even if they choose to have surgery. The majority of trans people identify under "transgender", which is a more liberating term for both binary trans people and nonbinary people, who may not seek surgery in the first place, as well as averting the stigmatized term of "transsexual". Sexuality Sexual orientation can be difficult to describe in a binary, ciscentric framework. Traditional labels, like "heterosexual," "homosexual" and "bisexual", are based on the gender binary, and break down when the very framework of gender is in question, although many transgender people use them for themselves nonetheless. Without getting too philosophical, however, they are like everyone in this respect — they may have a sexual preference for males, females, both or neither (or for wider or narrower sections of the gender spectrum), regardless of the direction of their identity. There are proposed terms for sexual orientation that would help resolve the ambiguities, but they are yet to meet universal recognition. It is worth noting, however, that for some trans people, their sexual preferences change as they go through transition. Sometimes this is the result of exploring the nature of gender and sexuality; sometimes this is due to resolving discomfort with one's own sexuality; sometimes this is just one of the strange things that hormones will do. And sometimes, none of this happens, and they maintain the same sexual identity no matter what alteration might occur to their body. Stealth or not Some transgender people prefer being "stealth," in that they seek to fully adopt and fit into the cultural role of their gender ("passing") with no traces of having had the body or life experiences of someone who had to live as the other gender. Others, either out of necessity (their bodies simply don't transform well enough to pass completely - for example, an trans man whose height topped out at 4"11 and can't develop enough muscle mass to look "masculine" in a culture where "manly men" are tall and muscular, or an trans woman whose broad shoulder structure and masculine facial structure cannot be repaired via surgery) or simple preference for androgyny, choose a more androgynous presentation. Same goes for behavior in general: some want to blend in, making a point to act more aggressive/more gentle/etc, taking up hobbies and interests traditional to their gender and shunning those that are not, changing the people they spend time with or their line of work, etcetera, while others don't change their attitudes or interests or friends or preferred work. (Sometimes because they had a relative balance of interests to begin with, for example an trans man who leaned toward being tomboyish while living as a woman may already have interests and friends and preferred work that tend toward masculine, for example, so there's no need to change much. Other times because people don't wish to be a part of the predominant cultures/subcultures for their gender anyway, for example, the same as cisgender men who don't like "dudebro" culture or cisgender women who aren't interested in "femininity" as it's sold and packaged in general.) None of this is relevant to whether they are actually "trans enough" or not, despite what some may say. The five foot one trans man who keeps his "pink collar" job/doesn't bulk up/is asexual/doesn't like sports/still has to use the ladies room in some situations/etc is just as much of a man as the six foot tall one who retrained to a more traditionally "male" job/got into bodybuilding/developed a reputation as a heterosexual Casanova/is a huge sports fan/who would never have to fear for his safety in a restroom/etc. The broad-shouldered and deep-voiced trans woman who works in occupations related to her past work in the military/identifies as a lesbian/doesn't have much of an interest in makeup and fashion/is barred by law from using the ladies room is just as much of a woman as the slight and thin one who became a teacher or nurse or housewife/who got married to a very masculine cisgender man/always has absolutely perfect fashion and makeup/lives in a place where no one or the law would question her right to use the ladies' room. The important takeaway here is that unless you are a close friend (and even then be very, very, VERY careful) do not offer "helpful advice" on passing unless it is asked of you. Said advice may be unwanted at best, as well as something already known but ignored or impossible, even if it isn't physically impossible (e.g. changing a stable "pink collar" job like waitressing/waitering or a secretary job for an unstable "man's job" like construction worker or mechanic is a bad idea in a bad economy), and at worst - especially if you are not yourself transgender - a deep and horrific personal insult. Finally, some of the more androgynous transgender persons see fixation with passing as Compensating for Something and therefore just another form of closeting (e.g. "what's the point of coming out of the closet if you have to immediately closet your sexual orientation or your interests or your looks to fit in with gender stereotypes?")

Hi Dr.Lam
I read that you also perform the chin surgery procedure,
I've never heard of the implant that doesn't show or make u detect/feel the chin implant step-off, is this new?
And are u saying that it is possible to get a small chin implant for very very subtle changes without the sharp edges that u could see or touch? and will a very small chin implant change my smile?
Another thing im interested in is non-surgical chin augmentation with permanent fillers.. are these safe and useful in only increasing ur chin by 2-3mm?

- Airport Check-in: Rental-car fee soars for Chicago O'Hare customers
- Continental announces second Dreamliner route, will fly to Africa
Airline credit cards dangle perks to lure new customers
"The ever-changing world of airline fares and fees is getting a little more confusing -- but maybe a lot cheaper -- thanks to the newest travel perk: free baggage check with an airline's credit card." That's from The Detroit News, which takes at look at some of the latest gimmicks being rolled out to entice consumers to sign up for airline-branded credit cards.
Continental and Delta are among the latest to waive checked-bag fees for customers booking using the carriers' branded credit cards. The offer covers up to as many as nine people traveling on the cardmember's reservation, allowing each of those to avoid bag fees that start at $25 per bag.
READ MORE: Check out the full Detroit News story
The News writes "it sounds like a good deal, but there's a catch: another fee. In the case of Continental, it's the $85 annual fee for the OnePass Plus card, and for Delta it's $95 for the Gold Skymiles card."
"Card issuers are raising more money by getting annual fees, and they're using the rewards as an add-on to justify the fee," Bill Hardekopf, CEO of credit-card comparison site LowCards.com, tells the News.
Of course, travelers can quickly recoup that fee by avoiding bag fees on as few as two round-trip flights. On the other hand, the perk is unnecessary for others.
For example, elite-level frequent fliers are exempt from checked bag fees. Or, as the News points out, "if you don't travel with luggage often enough -- maybe once every other year -- it's cheaper for one or two travelers to pay the baggage fees instead of shelling out for annual credit card memberships."
Either way, expect airlines to increasingly turn to special credit-card perks in the future. Daniel Ray, editor in chief of CreditCards.com, predicts to the News that the trend will accelerate as carriers look to build customer loyalty while at they also broaden their a la carte fee structure.
SHARE: Do you have an airline-branded credit card that offers such perks? Do you think they add value? Or, do you think they do not justify the annual fees? Share your thoughts.

When you signed on, maybe you bought the package with 400 channels.Do you really need that many channels? Probably not.Whittle it down, and you can save a few dollars a month.Getting rid of movies on demand can also cut down your bill.And maybe you have more equipment than you need."Do they have extra cable boxes that they're not using? Are they in a room that's maybe a guest room and you really don't need to have a cable box in there all the time," Landeros suggested.If so, consider sending it back. You're getting charged for that equipment regardless of whether you're using it.The same goes for modems.It's an extra fee each month just to rent one from the provider, so consider buying your own.And, if your bill just keeps climbing and you find yourself ready to jump ship, let your provider know."It works to fire someone sometimes, and you're basically just firing your provider," Landeros said. "Why do you fire them? Because you're not happy with what they're giving you."You'll likely be put in touch with someone in the retention center."They'll do anything they can to keep you because they have an investment in you," said Landeros. "They have an investment in the equipment that's there, they have had you as a customer for a while and they want to maintain that customer base."They might find you a better package, offer you a new deal, or even drop other added fees--which could save you a considerable amount on your monthly bill.If you're currently shopping around for a new provider, be sure to ask about first-bill fees, like installation, activation, or one-time fees.Stay firm in what you want, as well. If you want to keep your bill under a certain amount and refuse to budge, they might waive some of those fees.To see previous installments, click below.Vacation SavingsInsurance

text: London ''acid-house'' up-and-comer Adamski's first album, early 1990's Liveandirect, was mostly instrumental dance Muzak that listeners outside its dance-floor audience might find appropriate for hallucinatory trips to Venus and not for much else. But his follow-up, Doctor Adamski's Musical Pharmacy, is less pretentious, more varied, and more fun. This time he tries to sing, and while he retains the electronic keyboard doodling he started out with, here he uses it as a break in the action rather than as an end in itself. Especially toward the end of the disc, Adamski really lets down his guard and tries to entertain the masses. He even turns the theme from David Lynch's 1978 movie Eraserhead into the chorus for a ridiculous alphabet song. His zig-zagging synthesizer squiggles still tend to drift toward the stratosphere, and his crooning is painfully overwrought. But if parts of Musical Pharmacy are indeed pretty boneheaded, at least it's the kind of boneheadedness you don't need to be high on drugs to appreciate. B

The results are in, all votes have been counted and the list of the top 42 hottest women on the planet has now been compiled.
This year we received just over 20,000 votes for a meagre selection of just under 100 women, and these votes were more widely dispersed than last year with many hotties running almost neck and neck throughout the voting process. There are 22 new entries to our chart, 12 climbers, 7 ladies moving down the chart and one none mover. Special mention to the one vote we received for her majesty the Queen, and for all 33 of you who voted for 'Gail Platt', that was last year's gag try to keep up.
OK, so let's get cracking here's our top 42 fittie rundown from the top:
New girl Autumn began her TV career with an episode of Star Trek: Voyager playing a fairly unattractive alien with a rubber prosthetic glued to her pretty fizzog. Miss Reeser became well known for her work in teen-dramas such as The O.C. and Entourage, but more recently the 31-year-old hottie has starred in No Ordinary Family and popped-up in Hawaii Five-O playing the new girlfriend of lucky funny-haired midget, Scott Caan.

Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Announces Staff Changes
Dr. Sundlof has been providing leadership at FDA for 16 years, including 14 years as the Director of the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).
Sundlof began his career in 1980 on the faculty of the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine. His research interests in drug residues in livestock eventually led to interactions with the FDA, first as a member and later as the chair of the FDA's Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee. In 1994, he was named the CVM Director by FDA Commissioner David Kessler.
Sundlof will be starting a new training and development program in regulatory science in conjunction with the University of Minnesota and the Ohio State University. He will be designing a curriculum for certification and Master degrees drawing from key faculty across three large universities with strong public health programs, and from FDA subject matter experts. The programs will be designed especially for government employees and will offer a blend of science, policy, leadership, and nontechnical skills necessary to be successful in today's complex regulatory environment. Sundlof assumes these new duties on May 10, 2010.
Michael Landa, who has been Deputy Director for Regulatory Affairs at CFSAN since 2004 and began his FDA career in 1978 as Assistant Chief Counsel for Enforcement, Medical Devices and Veterinary Medicine, has agreed to serve as Acting Director. In addition, Roberta Wagner and Donald Kraemer, who have extensive experience at FDA, both at headquarters and in the field, will serve as Acting Deputy Directors.
Roberta Wagner, who joined FDA in 1987 as a Laboratory Analyst in the Baltimore district, has served as Director of CFSAN's Office of Compliance since 2008. Donald Kraemer, who joined FDA in 1977 as a Consumer Safety Officer in the New Orleans district, has been Deputy Director of CFSAN's Office of Food Safety since 2007. We are confident that Mike, Roberta and Don, with their extensive FDA experience, will ensure a smooth transition.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Jenna's (recurring guest star TAMMIN SURSOK) extravagant birthday party seems to be too good to be true and Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer think something else might be up - especially when it turns out that Garrett (recurring guest star YANI GELLMAN) is getting a pass out of jail to visit his ailing mother on the same night. The timing can't just be a coincidence, and the girls are convinced it all has to do something with A. With Emily getting an insiders' view working the party, Aria working the crowd as a party-goer and Spencer staked out at the hospital, what could go wrong? The answer is easy: everything. Meanwhile, Hanna's wallowing through heartbreak leads her to a shocking discovery.

Husband In Terrible Pain and Seems to be" Deteriorating
I'm sorry but deteriorating is the only word Ifeel adequate to describe the issues my husband has been facing. 55 year old, Crohns Disease since Adult with 4 re-sections, Stents in heart from heart attack and 2007 diagnosed with Emphesymea. 2 Years ago severe exhaustion/disconnect set in. Sleeps constant yet always tired. 6 months ago I noticed left eye looked sagging/not normal took to ER Nothing came up on Catscan but Refused to stay in hispital as strongly reccomended. 3 months after a severe Nosebleed had him back to hospital but blood work normal/ My husband Vomits upon waking every morning. And has had severe head aches, Tingeling sensations in face, back of head, Now a lump on right side of neck that he claims comes from back of head/neck area has that area swollen around clavical also. Dr sent for catscans of head.lung chest. Lung shows new nodules, thickening trachea and thoracic shows a partialy visable poss meningioma in sphenoid process? Brain also sugg poss meningioma . Liver Enzymes high. Neurologist who seemed not at all concerned sent us out for MRI'S W/W/O Contrast. Through all of this he is in agony and BP at Dr was 200/113! She increased BP Meds. Tylenol advised. Neurologist suggested after not reading previous catscans. He can have disc bulge and only after looking at Swollen neck did he seem a little concerned! OK He is the Dr I get it. I should have went to med school instead of Journalism but I just feel in knowing him and watching this that something is very wrong.! Behavior out of charachter also. MRI In brain w/w/o cont shows Meningioma like tumor shenoid. further testing for poss eye issues? White Matter Disease in both areas of brain. and now I am reading MRI Neck w/w/o cont that state Findings "see full report
Exam: MRI-CERVICAL SPINE WITH AND WITHOUT CONTRAST
Clinical Indication:
Rule out right C5-6 nerve root compression.
Cervical spine MRI was obtained on a 1.5 Tesla High Field Wide Bore Espree MRI with
multiple multiplanar pulse sequences acquired prior to and following the intravenous
administration of 7 cc of Gadavist.
There is straightening of the normal cervical lordosis.
There is disc desiccation throughout the cervical spine.
At the C2-3 level, there is disc bulging and posterior osteophytes. There is minimal left
neural foraminal stenosis.
At the C3-4 level, there are anterior and posterior osteophytes and a right parasagittal and
foraminal disc herniation which compresses the right aspect of the spinal cord and results in
narrowing of the right neural foramen and mass effect upon the exiting right C4 nerve root.
At the C4-5 level, there is mild disc bulging. Bilateral facet degenerative changes are
present. There is mild bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. There is moderate right
and mild left neural foraminal stenosis.
At the C5-6 level, there are anterior and posterior osteophytes, disc space narrowing and
circumferential disc bulging. There is spinal cord compression due to prominent osteophytic
ridging. There is severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with mass effect upon the exiting
C6 nerve roots bilaterally. Bilateral facet and ligamentous hypertrophic degenerative
changes are present.
At the C6-7 level, there are posterior osteophytes and circumferential disc bulging. There is
mild right and moderate left neural foraminal stenosis.
At the C7-T1 level, there is very slight disc bulging.
The marrow signal is normal. No intrinsic spinal cord abnormality is identified.
C3-4 right parasagittal and foraminal disc herniation abuts the spinal cord and results in
compression of the exiting right C4 nerve root.
Severe central canal and severe bilateral neural foraminal stenosis at C5-6 with spinal cord
compression and mass effect upon the exiting C6 nerve roots bilaterally.
Interpreting Radiologist

You are saying his brain MRI shows a possible menigioma (which is a benign lesion, hence why the docs may not be concerned but as we know the here benign does not always mean without effect) but the report you posted is all about his spine.
I am only a layman but his spine looks like a mess. He has a bit of stenosis and that would hurt a lot.
Can you get a copy of the brain MRI? It all depends on location on whether or not eyes are effected. It can be small and eyes can be effected. Has your husband seen an eye doc (an MD) and a neuro-optho would even be better.
White matter issues can be anything from high blood pressure to MS and more so it can range from benign to severe so the doc has to really figure that out and not just ignore it with a case where the cause is not clear and your husband has a lot of symptoms. It can be just headaches etc so you have to get a determination on if it is an indication of something that needs treatment.
It is good you are getting copies.

Woman wins largest jackpot in Turning Stone history
VERONA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The largest jackpot in Turning Stone Casino history was given out Saturday at the Million Dollar Bingo event.
Binghamton resident Frances Slesinsky of Binghamton won $1,000,000 in the final game. The player had to cover all the numbers on his or her bingo card in 47 draws, or less.
Slesinsky accomplished the historic "cover all" on the 47th draw, to dramatically put her name in the Turning Stone record books.
Officials say Slesinsky regularly visits Turning Stone to play in marquee bingo events. She was joined Saturday by her husband and two other friends.
Slesinsky said, "It's very exciting. Great things really do happen at Turning Stone."
Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter said, "Bingo was the perfect way to kick off our 20th Anniversary celebration. It is a tribute to how the Oneida Nation started its gaming operation, so it is fitting to have bingo host our very first $1 million winner in Turning Stone's 20 year history."
Saturday's Million Dollar Bingo was the first event of Turning Stone's 20th anniversary celebration, which runs from now until the end of July. Officials say the month-long celebration includes big ticket giveaways, major casino gaming tournaments, special parties and events, and exciting live entertainment by today's biggest performers.

it's kicking my ass. this afternoon i've been feeling quite tired and unenergetic, and my goddammed nose won't stop running.
so i'm in my room, stocked up with dvd's and some cold medication. i've changed into my pj's, and i don't plan to surface until i feel a little better.
i had lunch with gish and L today, and i ate even though i wasn't really hungry. i more or less went for the social interaction. oh, and the coffee.
work this week won't be so horrid. i work tomorrow night, then thursday night and back on days on sunday. i like it when i have days off in between, rather than all at once.
it makes it more bareable.
anyhow, i'm going to go get under the covers and batten down for the night.

THose of you who use the rubber stall mats from Tractor Supply etc for home gym flooring - how do they hold up over the long haul?
I am looking at using them to pad a cement floor under the flat bench I will be using for heavy dumbbell presses, to soften the impact of dropping the dumbbells to the side.
I'm also looking at using them for padding under my trap bar for trap bar deadlifts, and I'd like to know if anyone is using them for the same or similar purpose and how they withstand the constant abuse.

How do you feel using spankings as a sexual turn-on? Do you prefer giving or receiving. Does your husband have a favorite outfit he likes to see you in?
|Thu, 12-13-2012 - 2:25pm
my husband likes to get spanked
so sometimes i play the role and sexually satisfy him
its fun, intense,multiple cummings
|Mon, 11-26-2012 - 7:54am
My husband is my master and he gives me the spankings with a whip I love it when I get spanked. I do bad things just so I can get spanked, but if another man wanted to control me I would love to be spanked, and my husband loves me to dress up as a nurse, slave, or anything sexy just so that my cunt is showing and he can get to my tites. I have to say those words I am under orders at all times by him, and I like that and I think all women should were items that men can get to them easy not working that is our job to work and pleasure them.
|Thu, 11-22-2012 - 1:07pm
I don't know if its something my husband would be into but it is something that I have considered. I would say that the use of the hand is appropriate for play. Both partners have to be willing or its no fun and it will only cause more problems.
|Thu, 11-01-2012 - 1:53pm
Seeing that no one here has any imagination for this kind of thing, let me put in my two cents worth. When I was married, after seeing all sorts of signs, I got my husband to admit that this topic got him excited. He said he would enjoy watching this. After a few experiences with porn sites and a great deal of talking, we gradually realized what he wanted most of all was, not to do it himself, but to see me over the knees of another woman. Not to go into the ins-and-outs of all the details of how we went about it, but eventually we found just the right person. The difficulty was always "the scenario." It had to be satisfactory for all three of us. I rather enjoyed seeing the others so extremely excited and discovered in myself I was quite capable of "taking it to the limit." That had been the trouble all along, he not wanting to admit what exactly he wanted done to me nor that he himself --always upright and dutiful--would enjoy a "threesome." I confess I felt jealous, of course, at being treated like the underdog.
|Sat, 10-20-2012 - 9:16am
I am not really into spankins, but to maybe be lightly spanked, would work for me. I read a BDSM story where the woman spanked/slapped the mans butt. After a few swats she would give him oral sex, then she would spank/slap a bit harder.Then return to giving him oral sex. The story went on to where the mans butt stinged from her mutiple swats, then she would rub the sting away, and retrun to giving him oral. As the story went on somehow she was able to swat his butt at the same time she was givng him oral. The pain, excitement of the sting and pleasure finally got him off.
Sounds exciting to me

So a few weeks back, I had my six-year-old daughter, Julia, tested for food allergies. She's always had a bit of a weak stomach, and I'd noticed it was worse when she had chocolate, but then she'd drink chocolate almond milk every day (a switch we made after she showed herself to be a bit lactose intolerant) with no problem. So I just wasn't sure: Is this a dairy issue? But she eats cheese just fine. Is it a chocolate issue? But her granola bars have little chocolate chips and she's never had a problem. Is it some additive or processed ingredient? What about those completely-devoid-of-redeeming-value orange fishy crackers and Cheeze-Its that always make her vomit yet which she continues to eat when I'm not around to remind her not to? Is it the "cheeze"? I couldn't quite put my finger on it, so in we went for the blood work.
Let's skip over that part, because if you have a kid and have experienced a blood draw, you know that it really, truly is more painful for the parent than the child 90% of the time. So we did that.

Sage Leaf
The tea was used for morning sickness during pregnancy. We have tried it and considered the bitter taste just as bad as the nausea! It causes vomiting itself to the sensitive stomach! The Sagebrush leaves were used for diarrhea, menstrual disorders and swellings. It was particularly used as a tonic after childbirth. Fresh leaves were crushed, strained and mixed with lukewarm water for stomach distress or were chewed for flatulence or as a tea for indigestion. The powdered herb destroyed worms in children and were so accepted officially in 1840 with the coming of the white man. The juice of the herb or the powder was put on moist sores which, with this procedure, were said to dry and heal quickly, as were "green wounds".
For numbness of the feet a wash of Sagebrush was recommended followed by the application for wax and ground nettles. This same Sage and wax remedy was used for all foot injuries by the Aztecs.
This is the epitome of bitter herbs making it good as a stomach tonic for indigestion and acidity, or for an agent to promote sweating in dry fevers. Interestingly, modern use corroborates Dioscorides' use of the herb for female ailments. It is good for suppressed, cramping menstruation, particularly following illness or some emotional or physical trauma (Moore: 162). It will help expel pinworm or roundworm infections, the secret being constancy with at least two cups a day for a week or two. Moore says that some people have informed him that they can abide the taste. We know a man who felt that his ailments could be helped by Sagebrush tea. He brewed himself a couple of doses each day and before long his chronic and painful aching in the chest and arms left him and he felt well again. He said the tea was bitter but not impossible to take.
A shrubby perennial. The strongly branched root, produces square, finely hairy sterns,and is woody at the base. Leaves are gray-green, textured, opposite, downy, entire or finely crenate. The floral leaves are ovate, ovate-lanceolate. Purple, blue or white two lipped flowers grow in whorls that form terminal racemes. It is commercially cultivated for a kitchen spice. Grows wild in southern Europe.
Fresh and dried leaves are used to flavor foods The flowers are tossed in salads. It is a antihydrotic, galactophygous, antispasmodic, and astringent. It helps reduce perspiration, and stops the flow of mother's milk. A tea is also used for nervous conditions, trembling, depression, diarrhea, a gargle for sore throat, tonsillitis, and laryngitis. Steep 1 teaspoon of the leaves in 1/2 cup water for 30 minutes. Take 1 cup a day, a tablespoon at a time. Extended or excessive use can cause symptoms of poisoning. The crushed fresh leaves are used to put on insect bites.

Gore 5/5
Entertainment 5/5
Creepiness 2/5
A good zombie movie should be two things: 1. campy 2. gory. There are some exceptions with regards to the amount of cheese-dick that can factored into the first golden rule (see 28 Days/Weeks Later, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and that's about it). Seriousness as it pertains to zombie movies usually doesn't cut the carotid artery. This film has both aforementioned necessities in spades.
As the title suggests, a horde of rampaging zombies are sweeping through a town on the night of senior prom, endangering the chances of dudes getting into the knickers of their dates. Somebody was asleep at the wheel at Homer Simpson's nuclear power plant and released something fierce into the air and corpses started sprouting like spring daffodils in the local cemetary.
A group of rag-tag kids band together and decide that they need to fight off the rampaging hordes to save the kids at school (how noble!). They are comprised of the veritable who's who: there's the 'rebellious' dude who has no regard for authority, his girlfriend that just wants a normal, 'serious' boyfriend, who can't stand his antics, his nerdy buddy who tries to keep him out of trouble at school but becomes guilty by association, the girl he likes but doesn't have the balls to make a move on, and the crazy, over the top redneck (who replaces the jock dude in these types of movies) is the 'tough' guy.
So the kids storm the neighborhood, fending off zombies and run into a garage band composed of kids that go to the school (playing music that's a mix of punk and really bad metal). They've found out that they can control the zombies and make them docile creatures with the strum of a guitar pick, a fingering of the bass guitar, and a bash or two behind the kit. All the kids band together and meet up with their gym teacher, who also happens to be an ex-marine. How convenient!
After storming the neighborhood, they head to the school where the dance is being held. The buddy of the rebellious leader along with the girl (who he doesn't have the cajones to ask out), make their way to the bathroom. She gets bitten after going into a stall to make a tinkle. She then becomes a zombie and in turn, bites him. And in one absolutely hysterical scene, they play tonsil hockey in the bathroom stall. I wonder if a dude can get his zombified wee-wee up?
Having one last heroic standoff in the gymnasium (which includes a performance by said garage band to keep the zombies subdued), the kids scramble and escape from the school. The gang of the walking dead are wiped out after the marine gym teacher (who has planted bombs around the school) makes the place go KABOOM! Yay!!
Dispensing all the necessary elements associated with a good zombie film and pushing the gore factor to 11, Dance of the Dead is a blast. An instant classic, and great spin, on an otherwise seemingly exhausted genre.
