TR Publishing
By system-sellers who make up the wildest stories
imaginable. By racing authors who say they've made a
fortune gambling when the truth is they're $5 bettors.
By seminar speakers whose "advanced degree" was bought at
a diploma mill. By newsletter publishers who falsify
their alleged "tests" on systems and methods, so you
have no idea what's good and what's not until you've
already spent your hard-earned money.
You've probably thrown away a large amount of
money on worthless handicapping methods. Systems that
weren't worth a quarter. Books that belabored the
obvious. Newsletters that consisted largely of "how I hit
a $20 exacta once last year" stories. Computer programs that cost plenty but
delivered little. Magazines that had great stories about Secretariat but nothing
about how to win at the races today.
Meadow's Racing Monthly is different. We bring you inside the
handicapping world in a way that no ever has before. You'll meet winning players.
And private clockers. And jockey agents. And the guys who sell systems.
You'll learn how to win big money in handicapping tournaments. How to
properly play the Pick 6. Where to find the best Internet handicapping sites.
How to get the best deals in the racebooks. How to get discounts and freebies
from race-tracks.
You'll find product and system reviews using our computer database,
insights from trainers and jockeys, and places to bet legally by phone.
And the only investigative articles in this business. We've exposed the
phone tout who stole another's selections and palmed them off as his own and the
newsletter whose phony "system tests" are simply fabricated. We took you deep
into the Sartin Methodology in an incredible article that many subscribers told us
was the best they'd ever read in a handicapping publication. We presented
"Confessions Of A System Seller," in which we ripped the lid off the systems
Let's look at just a few of our regular features, none of which you can
find anywhere else:
* Meadow On Money Management covers important aspects of handling
your money at the track. Just one of the many winning ideas in this column can
make you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
* Real System Workouts. We take a system and run it through a
database of tens of thousands of races to see how it really does over the long
haul. You will be shocked at some of our findings. How long would it take you to
do the same research? Your savings in time alone will be staggering.
* Q & A With Barry. Each month, I get handicapping and money-
management questions from players. What you learn here can help you no matter
where you play.
* The Stat Box. We highlight significant statistics you can't
find anywhere else. Example: Take two southern California trainers. One has 64
wins the past 30 months, all of whom had a workout since their last race; the
second has 98 wins, and an amazing 54 of them won without works. We tell you
who's who and what's what.
There's nothing else like Meadow's Racing Monthly. Everything we do is
designed to help you make, or save, money at the racetrack, or to help you learn
about the handicapping business. No nonsense. No fluff.
Maybe that's why we won the prestigious 1998 Publisher's Award from
American Turf Monthly as the single best handicapping product on the market.
Each month for seven years (November 1996 through October 2003), we
provided this great information to our subscribers. And now you can order these
collectors' issues. See our indexes to find the subjects that interest you the
most, and order these terrific issues.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU A.D.: New Mexico Bowl out of the question
The Arizona State Sun Devils are going bowling this year, though no one is quite sure yet where they will be.
However, one place they won't go is New Mexico.
"The reality is for us, we're in the middle of finals during the New Mexico Bowl," Arizona State athletic director Steve Patterson told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday. "So we just can't go there."
The Gildan New Mexico Bowl is schedules for December 15th.
That leaves the MAACO Bowl Las Vegas and the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco as the most likely destinations for the Devils, though Vegas may be out due to having played in the game last season.
"So then whether we go to San Francisco or to Las Vegas, which is where I think we should go, over the next few days we'll get some resolution about that," he said.

Defining and Implementing Your Security Program
Many organizations are just now starting the development of an information security program. Assero Security has helped many companies quickly define and implement an effective and economical security program designed specifically to meet their needs. Using our experience in the industry and streamlined implementation, Assero Security can quickly address your needs to get an information security program up and running.
Requirements Analysis: Assero Security consultants work with the customer to determine the requirements of their information security program. Security and privacy requirements come from
- Mandated information security and privacy regulations such as HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS, GLBA, FISMA, and state privacy acts,
- Contractual obligations from key customers, and
- Business mission requirements.
Basic Security Controls: If your organization is new to implementing an information security program there may be relatively few controls in place. Assero Security has created an economical approach to implementing basic security controls to kickstart the information security program development.
- Policy. Basic security policy set tailored to organization
- Training. Security awareness training provided to staff
- Scans. Vulnerability scans on the external network
Gap Assessments. Many organizations begin their development of an information security program with the driver of becoming compliant with a specific regulation. This regulation specific approach requires the establishment of a baseline of the current controls, commonly called a "gap assessment". Assero Security provides individual regulation or multiple regulation gap assessments for the following regulations and security standards:
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Gap Assessment. Required of any organization that stores, processes, or transmits "Cardholder Data (CHD)". more… "PCI DSS services"
- HIPAA/HITECH Gap Assessment. Required of any organization that stores, processes, or transmits "Protected Health Information (PHI)"
- NIST 800-53 / Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Gap Assessment. Required of federal government agencies and organizations that store, process, or transmit government provided sensitive data.
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Gap Assessment. Required of any organization that stores, processes, or transmits consumer-banking or financial information.
- State Privacy Laws Gap Assessment. Required of any organization that stores, processes, or transmits non-public information on individuals. The specifics vary greatly from state to state.
- ISO 27001/2 Gap Assessment. Not a regulation or a requirement but a well-accepted international security controls framework standard.
Security Questionnaires and Contracts: Customers and suppliers entrust your organization with sensitive information. As part of their vendor management program they must ensure that trust is well placed and they typically ask you to document your security program through the use of a security survey or questionnaire. These documents are legally binding and should not be taken lightly. Assero Security can work with your organization to interpret the survey, advise on proper responses, and assist you with putting controls in place if needed.
PCI DSS Services (landing page specifically for PCI)
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has stepped up its enforcement of the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) arguably as a reaction to increased security breaches of cardholder data (CHD) and perceived lack of compliance of these basic security controls by those who store, process, and transmit CHD. Regardless of the reason, it is clear that merchants and service providers at all levels (Levels 1-4) must ensure that they adequately address their compliance with these industry standards for face increased scrutiny, continued risk, and even fines.
Assero Security works with merchants and service providers to help them to effectively and economically address the PCI DSS requirements. Our experience with merchants and service providers of all sizes has allowed us to create an efficient process of planning, implementing, and maintaining your PCI DSS compliance strategy.
Q: What is PCI DSS?
A: PCI DSS is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This is a set of security standards for the protection of cardholder data (CHD) that applies to all organizations that process, store, or transmit credit card information.
Q: We don't take many credit cards, does PCI really apply to me?
A: Neither the size of the organization nor the amount of transactions impact the application of the PCI DSS standards. If you take credit cards (e.g., if you have a Merchant ID) then PCI DSS applies to you.
Q: I don't process CCs, I have a service that does that for me. Aren't I exempt?
A: No. Third party services providing a point of sale device or providing the backend processing for your website may reduce your risk exposure but PCI DSS still applied to you, the merchant.
Q: My website is secured with an SSL certificate, that covers me right?
A: Good start but no. SSL certificates only address a small portion of the PCI DSS standards.
Q: Do I have to use a QSA?
A: Only if you are a level 1 merchant (defined as processing over 6M transactions per year), all other merchants can complete a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Assero Security can assist you with interpretation of these questions and their application on your environment.
Q: What are the minimum requirements for a small or medium business (SMB)?
A: An SMB merchant must meet all the same requirements as any other merchant. These requirements can be found here (link to: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/documents.php?document=pci_dss_v2-0#pci_dss_v2-0). The following steps should be followed to satisfy these requirements:
- Define your validation type:
Type 1: Card-not-present (e-commerce / mail order / phone order)
Type 2: Imprint only merchants – no electronic CHD storage
Type 3: Stand alone dial up terminal merchants, no electronic CHD
Type 4: Merchants with payment application systems connected to the internet – no electronic storage of CHD
Type 5: All other merchants and all service providers.
- PCI DSS Gap Assessment
- PCI DSS Remediation
- SAQ Assistance
- PCI DSS Security Risk Assessment
HIPAA/HITECH/MU Services (landing page specifically for HIPAA)
Since the enforcement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has transitioned to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) for enforcement "covered entities" (hospitals, clinics, doctor's groups, etc.) have seen an increased enforcement of compliance and leveeing of fines for those who are not. Enhancements to the HIPAA (security and privacy regulations) through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) and Meaningful Use (MU) have complicated the application of these security and privacy requirements.
Assero Security consultants have been assessing and implementing HIPAA-compliant information security programs since the inception of HIPAA security and privacy requirements in 1998. Our experience with covered entities of all sizes has allowed us to create an efficient process of planning, implementing, and maintaining your HIPAA compliance strategy.

MIT's kitchen gadgets of the future make normal cooking obsolete
What happens when you let engineers into the kitchen? They completely reinvent the way cooking is done, at least judging by these concept kitchen devices by the MIT Media Lab.
The gadgets include a Digital Fabricator, which is a "personal, three-dimensional printer for food" that would very precisely combine and cook ingredients to create food never before seen.
The there's the Robotic Chef, which was "designed to physically and chemically transform a single solid food object, such as a steak, fish or a fruit." It's equipped with everything from drills to spice injection syringes to heating elements and would let you put a raw ingredient in and leave it to do its magic.
The final concept design is the Virtuoso Mixer, which is "a machine composed of a three-layer rotating carousel that provides cooks with an efficient way to mix multiple ingredient variations and experiment with subtle differences in taste and composition." It essentially lets you make your own ingredients from basic components.
Overall, it's a pretty crazy vision of what our kitchens might look like in a decade or two. What do you think? Too hands-off or much easier?

The eye is the organ of sight, a nearly spherical hollow globe filled with fluids (humors). The outer layer or tunic (sclera, or white, and cornea) is fibrous and protective. The middle tunic layer (choroid, ciliary body and the iris) is vascular. The innermost layer (the retina) is nervous or sensory. The fluids in the eye are divided by the lens into the vitreous humor (behind the lens) and the aqueous humor (in front of the lens). The lens itself is flexible and suspended by ligaments which allow it to change shape to focus light on the retina, which is composed of sensory neurons.

WASHINGTON (JCHAYWARD.COM) — All of us want to eat healthy during the holidays, but few of us manage to do so. You'll be happy to learn that you can eat healthy while still enjoying the holiday foods you love. The following are some holiday eating tips you can follow by Proveidence Hospital's Dr. Marcy Oppenheimer.
What are some ways to enjoy holiday treats while still maintaining or losing weight during the holidays?
- Drink water or eat a piece of fruit before a party to fill up a little. Once you get there, fill half your plate with vegetables and fruits. That will leave only half a plate for the less healthy meats and starches.
- For dessert, try whatever treats you want; but take a small portion. Should I limit foods high in fat? Healthy fats (unsaturated fats) come from plants, while less healthy fats (saturated fats) come from animals.
- Fortunately, holiday meats like ham and turkey are actually fairly low in fat. But watch out for the stuffing; it probably has a lot of butter, so take a small portion!
- What about drinks? Over the holidays, just like anytime, you should avoid drinking a lot of sodas and juices. Yes, even 100% juice is full of sugar and can make you gain weight. Stick with water!
- Eggnog is definitely one of the high calorie drinks to be enjoyed in small portions. And keep in mind that alcohol has almost as many calories, gram for gram, as butter.
- But here's one piece of good news—coffee and tea are actually healthy for you.
- Stay physically active! Exercise is a great way to get rid of calories. Get a little more exercise than usual. Grab a loved one and take a brisk walk.
- Most important, don't give up if you fall off the wagon; just get back to healthy eating the next day.

Illinois sewer upgrades to create 9,700 construction jobs
Posted By Wayne Grayson On October 25, 2012 @ 9:55 am In Economics,eRoadPro Newsletter,News & Analysis | No Comments
A recently launched $1 billion initiative to upgrade sewer lines, water mains and water treatment plants across Illinois will create 9,700 construction jobs in the state, according to Gov. Pat Quinn's office.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the upgrade comes after the Environmental Protection Agency found Illinois to be the state with the fourth-highest need for improvements to drinking water infrastructure and the sixth-highest need for improvements to wastewater infrastructure.
It sounds like the guys hired for to complete this initiative have their work cut our for them. Some of the sewer lines, water mains and water treatment plants in question have been in service for more than 100 years and are badly eroded, the Tribune reports.

Matt Cain became the first Giants pitcher to allow nine runs in an inning since 1902 when Matt Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals tagged him Sunday in a 14-3 romp over San Francisco.
After Cain and the Giants received their 2012 World Series rings before the game, they got trounced.
The Cardinals chased Cain (0-1) while scoring nine times in the fourth inning. The last two runs came home on Carlos Beltran's single off reliever Jose Mijares.
According to research by the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the team, Cain was the first Giants pitcher to give up so many runs in a single inning since John Cronin on Sept. 27, 1902, in the second game of New York's doubleheader against Brooklyn.

This looks delicious- I have a question. I have never used agar agar, but had thought that it had to be heated before it would gel. It would be convenient if it didn't ...

Ok sir. I'm laughing…hard.
But I do understand where you are coming from and why it must be said. I still couldn't help but laugh at you. I'm not so sure you are a hater but rather hating what has been going on in this world in regard to our daughters.


text:
1. Green Bay Packers (8-0, 1st last week): It's beginning to look like they're going to go wire-to-wire in the top spot. They're almost certain to be 10-0 in Detroit on Thanksgiving.
2. San Francisco 49ers (7-1, 2nd last week): Nothing pretty, but these Niners aren't pretty. This isn't Montana-to-Rice, but the fans don't care. All that matters is that they're already on the verge of wrapping up a playoff spot.
3. Baltimore Ravens (6-2, 8th last week): Was that a turning point for Joe Flacco, who until Sunday night at around 11:00 p.m. ET was having a pretty mediocre season? Nice to see the Ravens dominate on third down like that.
4. Houston Texans (6-3, 5th last week): Even Kareem Jackson is playing half-decent football for the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL. Seriously. The No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3, 3rd last week): How does James Harrison go from doubtful to defensive player of the week? If he doesn't win that award, he at least deserves some votes. Pittsburgh's still a prime Super Bowl contender despite losing a crucial tiebreaker with Baltimore.
6. New England Patriots (5-3, 4th last week): A lot of people think the loss to the Giants was a turning point for a franchise that is now just good, not great. We'll see. All I know is the whole Chad Ochocinco/Albert Haynesworth haul hasn't paid off one bit.
7. Detroit Lions (6-2, 7th last week): Jim Schwartz is right about the dirty label being better than the alternative. This is football, where nice guys often finish last.
8. New Orleans Saints (6-3, 9th last week): Kind of crazy that two Saints are in the top three in the NFL in receptions, and they aren't named Marques Colston or Lance Moore. In fact, neither is a receiver. Darren Sproles and Jimmy Graham have become Drew Brees' favorite two targets.
9. Atlanta Falcons (5-3, 10th last week): Left tackle controversy in Atlanta? Will Svitek did a hell of a job protecting Matt Ryan in Sam Baker's stead. Considering the problems that line had early, they'd be smart to ride with the hotter (or at least steadier) hand.
10. New York Jets (5-3, 16th last week): Loved how aggressive they were in Orchard Park. Haven't seen enough of that out of them lately. A lot of momentum for a huge New England game at home this week.
11. Chicago Bears (5-3, 13th last week): Outplayed the Eagles on the road in prime time. Not an easy task. The offense is rolling and the defense is solid as always. This might be a wild-card team after all.
12. New York Giants (6-2, 19th last week): I don't know what to think about the Giants. Was that a statement or a fluke? All I know is they control their own destiny in the NFC East. Also, I love Jake Ballard, and you should too.
13. Cincinnati Bengals (6-2, 15th last week): I repeat: I won't buy their stock until they beat Pittsburgh (this week) and/or Baltimore (next week).
14. Buffalo Bills (5-3, 6th last week): They've won just twice since Week 3 and now they've received the news that Kyle Williams is out for the year. Oh, and now they go on the road for three straight weeks. Good chance the playoff slump continues.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-4, 14th last week): The shine has come off Raheem Morris as of late, and the play-calling has come under fire. If this keeps up, that coaching staff might be fighting for their jobs next year.
16. Philadelphia Eagles (3-5, 12th last week): They have to run the table now, and they won't. What will that mean for Andy Reid? Or should I say, "Andrew Ried."
17. San Diego Chargers (4-4, 18th last week): Again, too many mistakes. Philip Rivers is now just one interception shy of his career high.
18. Oakland Raiders (4-4, 11th last week): Feels like it's all crashing down for the suddenly power-tripping Hue Jackson and the Raiders, who will likely fall to 0-3 in the Carson Palmer era Thursday night.
19. Kansas City Chiefs (4-4, 17th last week): They're young and they were probably playing over their heads considering the injuries. On short rest, I expected them to lose in Week 9. But no one expected a disaster like that.
20. Dallas Cowboys (4-4, 21st last week): Schedule's treating them nicely. They might be able to win their next four games with or without Miles Austin and Sean Lee.
21. Tennessee Titans (4-4, 20th last week): Chris Johnson appears to be finally making some progress. Unfortunately, the rest of the team has already fallen back to earth. It's very unlikely they compete for a playoff spot this season.
22. Minnesota Vikings (2-6, 22nd last week): Christian Ponder nearly beat the Packers in his first career start. He'll have another chance to slay Goliath Monday night.
23. Carolina Panthers (2-6, 23rd last week): The goal should be to finish 4-4. Look at the schedule — they can do it. And no one will want to mess with them in 2012.
24. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6, 24th last week): What do you want me to say about a bad, boring team coming off a bye? Oh, here: they play Indy this week. Happy?
25. Arizona Cardinals (2-6, 27th last week): Trust me, Kevin Kolb, it's probably a good thing that you might not be healthy enough to face your former team in Week 10.
26. Denver Broncos (3-5, 31st last week): They probably aren't consistent enough to pull off the unthinkable in the AFC West, but if the running game stays hot and they utilize Tim Tebow correctly, they'll win a few more times in the second half of the year.
27. Miami Dolphins (1-7, 30th last week): My apologies to Dolphins fans hoping for Andrew Luck — you're probably going to beat the Redskins this week, and it wouldn't surprise me to see a win against Buffalo in Week 11. With Matt Moore playing well and Reggie Bush playing the best football of his career, there's reason for optimism. Whether you like it or not.
28. St. Louis Rams (1-7, 25th last week): Not the ideal way to follow up a massive win over the Saints. That's what makes this league so unpredictable.
29. Seattle Seahawks (2-6, 28th last week): They get the Rams twice and the Cardinals once over their final eight games. That removes them from the Luck sweepstakes.
30. Washington Redskins (3-5, 26th last week): Less than a month ago, they were 13th in these rankings and the immediate future looked bright. But they've lost four straight since their Week 5 bye, and now they're already facing questions about a rebuild. Amazing decline.
31. Cleveland Browns (3-5, 29th last week): Unless things change drastically over the next two months, I can't see Mike Holmgren and Co. allowing Colt McCoy to continue as the starter next season.
32. Indianapolis Colts (0-9, 32nd last week): No Dallas Clark for their most winnable game of the year, and now we're thinking about 0-16. A lot of Colts fans are pulling for the team to finish dead last, but they certainly don't want to see them run the table with losses.

Treating Our Veterans with PTSD
As July 4th, Memorial Day and Veterans Day continue to pass year in and year out, we honor our veterans from past wars with parades, BBQs and a day off from work, but our veterans live daily with the spiritual scars of war.
"Turn, Turn, Turn"
Many people are credited with saying, "If you remember the '60s, you really weren't there." Given the fact I didn't become a teenager until 1970, I actually do remember the '60s (or at least part of it). And as a child of the '60s, I was, of course, influenced by the music.
Giving Chiropractic Some Much-Needed PR
Public relations has not always been the chiropractic profession's strong suit, a shortcoming that has subjected the profession to countless attacks on its legitimacy and seemingly perpetual confusion among the public and the health care world as to the skills and services doctors of chiropractic provide.
The Power of Positioning
During the evening, I like to relax while either reading a book or watching television. One of my shows, NCIS, has the main character always drinking coffee. Everyone knows it is a Venti from Starbucks because of its distinctive color and style.
The Art of Observation
How many of us spend time just watching our clients walk, climb in and out of cars, rise from a chair or navigate a flight of stairs? Spontaneity is the key. Along with a subtle ability to observe without the client knowing or being made to feel like a lab rat.

Alcohol intake is one of the primary risk factors for many human cancers, and is strongly associated with cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, breast, and notably, the colon and rectum.
The Power of Vitamin K
You may have heard rumblings in recent years that vitamin K helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, and is administered intravenously by some integrative medical doctors who combine it with high-dose vitamin C in cancer treatment.

I LOVE this product. It was $6.99 at Sallys and worth every penny! I had a small tear on my thumb nail and I tried to fix it using just nail glue, which held for a couple days before I caught it on something. Then my nail ripped almost 3/4 of the way across! :( I think the instructions tell you to put the glue on your entire nail but I only put it over the tear. I did use the buffing square that comes with it but I had to use my own buffer to smooth it out even more. The only thing I'm curious about is how healthy this is for your natural nail...

This has literally saved my nail. I had a nail break halfway across. Normally I use a tea bag patch, but decided to use this when I changed my polish cause the patch was failing. That was a week ago and it's still holding. I followed the instructions but used my buffing block instead of the square that came with it. After applying my ridge filler, base, color and top coat it looked like the rest of my nails. With this I'll be able to grow out the break. From now on tea bag patches are only going to be used for emergency repairs until I get home to my Orly Nail Rescue. Since there's a lot of product it's going to last me awhile. When I run out I will be getting more. If you have breaks and torn nail get this. I got it at Sally's and it was pretty cheap.

I had broken one of my nails WAY down into the quick on each side, and the goal was trying to save it and keep it from tearing until it grew out long enough to trim. I tried clear polish and a piece of a teabag, and crazy glue, but the nail kept tearing more. I went to Sally's and the friendly sales lady recommended a one step brush on treatment that was much cheaper than Orly Nail Rescue. After checking the reviews on the website, I found that the Orly Nail Rescue had gotten much higher reviews from users. I took back my original purchase and bought the Orly instead. I followed the easy directions exactly, brushing on the liquid, then dipping my nail into the powder. After buffing until smooth, and then repeating the whole process again, the results were great. It put a smooth coating over the torn places, and they no longer snagged or felt uneven. After putting my regular polish over the repaired nail, the flaws were completely undetectable! I took one point off for packaging, because the brush on liquid comes in a narrow oval-shaped bottle, which would be easily tipped over and spilled.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Dry, Olive, Warm Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium Eyes: Black
Let me just start this review off by saying that I get peelies in the worst way. Even with using my Nailtiques formula 2 (which strengthens them like a rock) somehow my nails always manage to start peeling from the sides. Whenever they'd get past 2mm in length I would always just cut all my nails to nubs to avoid any breaks. Orly nail rescue changed all that.
Before my quick fix used to be Krazy Glue, but even that wouldn't keep the nail from breaking if I hit it against something. With the brush applicated glue and the nail powder, it's strengthened my nails and held both sides together (even despite a few hard snags/hits) until the peels grow out completely.
My only complaint is that you have to time it just right when dipping your nail in the powder, otherwise it will get all lumpy and even with buffing, it makes it hard for you to wear creme or frost polishes. I currently have 4 nails that have started peeling, but thanks to Nail Rescue I don't have to cut my nails down to nubs.

This did not rescue a damn thing. It lasted for about 3 days on me (yes, I followed the directions to the letter). It cracked on both fingers I put it on and the nail I was trying to rescue went with it. Never again.

I'm posting this review because I had a little crack in my thumbnail, horizontal, right beside the cuticle and below the quick. I repaired it with this about a month and a half ago and I Can. Not. Find. the crack now. I know for a fact it hasn't just grown off because it was pretty far back.
It has stayed on through I don't know how many manis, through removal and cleanup with acetone, through everything. It doesn't show at all, not through polish, not on my naked nail.
This is how I used it, which is a little different from the way the directions tell you to use it:
-Painted a little of the glue over just the cracked area
-Sprinkled some of the powder over the glue till it was densely covered
-Waited till it was fully hard and dry
-Buffed off the excess with a buffing block
-Continued about my manicuring business as usual
ROCK SOLID and as I said, I can't find the crack now. Get you some, just in case.
One warning, be neat about how you work with the glue and brush, because if you get the glue all over the bottle neck it will glue itself shut and you have to go buy a new box. It didn't happen to me, but it happened to someone here and unfortunately she didn't discover the problem until she really needed to use it, so be careful with the glue.

I have what seems to be a permanent split down my ring finger on my left hand. I could never get my nail to grow because it would always split or catch on something and tear. When I saw this kit at Sallys I picked it up right away. This kit is a stroke of luck for splitting or cracked nails. The teabag repair wasnt working for me. I read the directions and actually watched a couple videos on Youtube on how to apply it. Once the glue and powder are on and dry, the nail is buffed smooth (this takes a bit more effort than you might think), you wont even know its there. The split is no longer an issue and this nail can grow without me worrying it will split or crack again. My nail feels a little thicker and stronger with the glue. Will repurchase.

I had been using silk to help repair my broken nails, but when I saw this at Sally's I bought it Good thing, as I had 3 tears today. Since I didn't want to cut my nails, I used this as the directions say. I repeated it twice. I only applied it toward the edge of the tears and not over the whole nail. The repair is strong, I am not afraid of further breakage. It looks great with nail polish on top. Love it. Its much easier than other ways to repair.

I can't believe this doesn't have more reviews!
To anybody reading this:
If you have a broken nail, this is the most amazing product you can use to repair it.
My nail broke waaay down into the nail bed and it was bleeding like crazy.
I tried the teabag method which would only last for a day and my broken nail would still wiggle and hurt.
With this product, right when I applied the nail glue, my nail would not budge!
I used two coats of the powder (I strongly recommend doing so).
A few tips:
-Apply the glue as even as possible and IMMEDIATELY (no joke!!) dip it into the powder
- Make sure the whole nail is covered.
This glue dries quickly!
-Use your own buffer ( the one it comes with does NOT smooth it out)
-Also use the shining one, it reaaalllyy makes it smooth :]
All in all... if you're desperate about keeping your nail length and keeping the whole nail attached for a long period of time, this is the perfect product for you!

The Orly Nail Repair worked great. The only thing I would change is the corny buffing square. I had to resort to using my own buffing block to really see results.
-1 for the buffer. A 4 manicured tip rating!! :)

New ED job ... Question
- 0May 24, '13 by KDSkyy44Hello all!! I just landed a job in the ED as a tech and HR had told me that they see on average 262 patients a day in the ED. This is valuable information but I have to idea how to apply or compare that number. Is this considered a low, average, or high flow of patients?
You help and input is appreciated!!!
- 0May 24, '13 by Bruce_WayneIf I had to guess based on my experience I'd say that sounds like it's probably a 30-35 bed ER that has two doctors and 2-3 np/pa's on an average shift. Am I close?
If it's about the size I guessed, that sounds like a management census. If smaller then it seems high to me if larger is seems low.
- 0May 24, '13 by KDSkyy44It's near big cities in NJ right outside Manhattan but its a community based hospital not a trauma center.
The ED has about 50 beds but hard to distinguish yet if the techs are understaffed. They made it sound like the work load would be rather intense so I was trying to figure out how it compared ( I am an EMT about an hour away and we deliver to a level 2 trauma center; the two EDs seemed drastically different )
I appreciate your responses thank you!

TV packages are essentially groups of digital, cable, satellite and IPTV channels offered by TV providers, usually for a fixed monthly subscription fee.
Once upon a time, only companies that specialised in TV offered any real kind of TV channel choice. Now you can get a wide selection of TV packages from leading broadband providers, while TV providers have begun bundling their services with broadband packages to give consumers the most value for their money.
TV bundles, meanwhile, are collections of multiple TV packages that are often bundled with additionalservices such as a broadband connection, a home phone with free weekend/evening calls, as well hardware such as a wireless router and set-top box.
Currently the biggest players in the TV comparison market are Sky, BT, Virgin Media and TalkTalk. Below we will look at the TV packages offered by each to help you find the best deals out there.
TV packages by providers:
One of the most popular ways to compare all the amazing TV packages available is to sift through the offerings of each provider, which have picked the best channels and put them together where it makes sense. Below are the main and best TV packages from the top providers:
The main TV packages from Sky are Entertainment, Entertainment Extra, Movies, Sports and HD Pack. Each incorporates a wide selection of channels from an assortment of genres. Sky's Multiroom option is also great, as it allows you to enjoy Sky channels in different rooms in the same household at the same time.
Sky also offers a wide range of bundles that come with multiple TV packages and additional incentives,such as free weekend calls and unlimited broadband to name a few. Sky World is one of the most popular bundles on offer and there are tonnes more to suit all tastes.
Virgin Media ranges three TV packages: M+, L and XL, each designed with a wide selection of channels (including HD), on-demand and catch up TV services and Sky channels.
M+ is an entry-level option, while L and XL are mid-range and high-end packages, each offering the same channels as M+ but with a host of extra channels.
These are also available in two set-top boxes: TiVo and the V HD Box. The former allows you to pause, rewind and record live television.
BT Vision
BT Vision comes in two TV packages: TV Essentials and TV Unlimited. Both offer 54 Freeview channels each, along with free broadband and evening calls. The TV Unlimited package, as the name probably suggests, also comes with unfettered access to FilmClub, Kids, Sport, Music, TV, Replay, Box Office, iPlayer programmes, plus sports content from ESPN.
Essential customers are required to pay 50p per programme. Although Sky channels are currently not available on either package, Sky programmes will be available on-demand on both.
TV packages by genres:
There are now TV packages specially designed for sports fans, movie lovers, kids, women – virtually anyone and everyone. Most of the time you will find packages that offer the channels you want in related genres. In some cases you can mix and match them into bundles or subscribe to individual channels to create your own personalised TV package.
Sky's Sports TV package is inarguably the most popular of its kind, offering live football, F1, rugby union, cricket golf, golf and many other sports.
Sky Movies, meanwhile lets you enjoy 11 channels showing blockbuster hits, plus up to five new premieres per week.
TV and broadband bundles truly are a godsend for consumers looking to consolidate their monthly outlay on entertainment and internet access, which often tend to be quite expensive when taken separately.
By picking a TV and broadband bundle you'll be paying fewer bills and potentially saving hundreds of pounds a year.
All the top TV and broadband providers now offer simple and affordable TV and broadband bundles. TalkTalk, for example, has a TalkTalk Plus TV bundle that comes with a super-fast broadband connection, line rental and a free YouView box for a single monthly payment of £14.50.
It's Christmas week, so better plan your viewing.

Unbelievable? Unimaginable? INDESCRIBABLE? Actually, the latter of the three is the only real word that can rightfully "capture" the true essence of my safari experience in Tanzania from which my sister, my friends, and I have just returned… In all reality, I am truly at a loss for words – and for those that know me well, that IS saying something!
How can one do justice to such a trip by summarizing in a paragraph or two the genuine warmth and kindness of the Tanzanian people, the amazing beauty of the richly filled woodlands, the expanse of the seemingly endless grassy plain, or the raw beauty of nature as it takes its sometimes cruel, often uplifting, but ever inspiring course in the lives of the animals that thrive there? I knew visiting such a place as Tanzania would be a rich and rewarding experience even before we went, but today I am simply in awe of the amazingly spectacular sights, sounds, and deeply rooted emotions that we experienced.
When we began planning this safari over a year and a half ago through ADS, and after having researched it well, I must say that we did set the bar high and we expected "a lot." Looking back, I can how say that those expectations were not only met, but were far exceeded throughout each and every aspect of our trip!
From the first moment of our arrival in Arusha, where we were warmly greeted by the cheerful and professional ADS staff on the tarmac, to the final moment of our departure, we could not have been made to feel more cared for, welcomed and relaxed. The accommodations at each and every place we stayed were outstanding and comfortable, and we were exceptionally well fed - whether it was in our semi-permanent tent, our permanent tent, in our private luxury camp, or in a lodge. (We experienced them all!) And our safari guide that met us when we landed in the Serengeti – what can I say about our guide to do him justice? After watching and listening to the many other groups that we saw on safari in the lodges, camps, and on the wildlife circuits, I now truly believe one's safari is going to be only as good one's guide…and our ADS guide was absolutely exceptional – truly, he was beyond compare!
Now as I said before, we expected to "see" a lot, but it was the actual experiencing of the raw emotion intertwined within those special sightings and moments that made the trip what it was. Who would have thought we would end up being fortunate enough to actually witness not just one, but FOUR different wildebeest crossings on the Mara River in the Northern Serengeti? Not only were we a witness to it, we were also "in the middle" of it all during the first crossing we experienced, as the seeming endless stream of wildebeest enveloped our vehicle on their way down toward the bank! There was so much energy and excitement within the herd (and within our vehicle!) each and every time we witnessed it!
And then to think that we would be privileged enough to see in person the passionate struggle between life and death as the carnivorous crocodiles of the region attempted to unrelentingly feast on the wildebeest, young and old, as they struggled over the boulders and through the swiftly flowing waters during the perilous crossing. A crossing, though dangerous and (as we witnessed) hesitantly taken by the huge herds as they nervously gathered on the banks of the water's edge before boldly leaping in, inescapably necessary as a part of their endless annual migratory pattern in an attempt to follow the rains... It really was something to experience such a uniquely natural phenomenon, and an experience none of us will soon forget…
And then, who would have thought we'd be privy to sitting back and quietly watching as five lionesses near our vehicle stealthily stalked a herd of Topi as they nervously attempted to drink from a life-giving watering hole near Lobo - and then later on witness two cheetah quickly devouring their freshly killed reedbuck behind a shrub as they keenly watched three other cheetah, unaware of their presence, stalk their own prey nearby? It was, simply put, amazing, and there we were once again "in the middle of it all!"
And then – my all time favorite - who would have thought we'd actually get to see "up close and personal" the beautiful and graceful, yet ever elusive leopard as she rested on a lofty limb, perfectly camouflaged by the dense auburn/green foliage of the tree? Now – for me - THAT was "a moment!"
Each and every day was uniquely different and a day of surprise. I should also mention that many of our best moments were moments that we had (unbelievably!) to ourselves - with absolutely no one else around! This was in no small part due to our incredibly knowledgeable and patient guide, as well as to our own personal "drive" to get out daily before dawn, stay out all day, and return after dusk. The rewards greatly outweighed any "sacrifice" we might have made, if you can even call it that.
Having now lived overseas as an educator for nearly 20 years, and having traveled extensively in Europe, as well as throughout parts of Asia, Africa (Egypt & Kenya), and New Zealand, I definitely expected this trip to be "pretty great" – but I can now say in all honesty and without any reservation that this trip far exceeded any travel experience I have ever had in the past– bar none! It really was a dream-come-true. Thank you, ADS, for taking all of us on a true "trip of a lifetime!" I, for one, cannot thank you enough!

10 Cities Where You Can Retire Without A Car
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- The whole point of retirement is not going to work anymore, so why should retirees keep braving traffic like commuters?
A fixed retirement income can transform car payments, auto insurance and weekly gas fill-ups from costly necessities to huge drains on the finances. If your stores, medical services, entertainment and transit options aren't all within walking distance, a change of scenery may be able to help cut costs a bit.
Neighborhood ranking site Walk Score has kept track of neighborhood density and convenience for the past couple of years and has helped real estate firms such as Zillow (Z) and Trulia pair retirees and other homebuyers with neighborhoods that make the most sense for their budget and lifestyle.
If downsizing the empty nest, ditching the car and diving into vibrant, tightly packed city life are on a retiree's agenda, Walk Score recommends the following 10 cities as potential destinations. They scouted out locations within a five-minute walk of grocery stores, public transportation and Zipcar (ZIP) rentals and came up with some great places across the country to go car-free:

Whiting Petroleum Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2013 Financial And Operating Results
Western Williston Basin
The Western Williston Basin includes our Hidden Bench, Tarpon, Missouri Breaks and Cassandra prospects. These areas represent a total of 171,408 gross (106,952 net) acres. Production from the Western Williston Basin averaged 9,385 BOE/d in the second quarter of 2013, which represented a 44% increase over the 6,520 BOE/d average rate in the first quarter of 2013.
Missouri Breaks Prospect. We hold 84,213 gross (57,526 net) acres in the Missouri Breaks prospect, located in Richland County, Montana and McKenzie County, North Dakota. We have implemented a new completion design in our Missouri Breaks area that utilizes cemented liners and higher sand volumes. The new frac design appears to significantly improve production rates. We recently completed the Weber 24-30-1H flowing at a rate of 1,164 BOE/d using our new completion design. This well offset the Mullin 21-24-1H, which tested at a rate of 481 BOE/d and was completed using our prior frac design, an uncemented liner with sliding sleeve technology.
Southern Williston BasinThe Southern Williston Basin encompasses our Pronghorn and Lewis & Clark prospects, which encompass a total of 395,441 gross (262,630 net) acres. Production from the Southern Williston averaged 13,325 BOE/d, relatively flat with first quarter 2013 production and up 30% year-over-year. We have been shifting to pad drilling in the Pronghorn area in the first half of 2013 and have generated a backlog of uncompleted wells. As of quarter end, we had 13 wells being completed or waiting on completion at our Pronghorn prospect. Sanish Field Area Whiting's net production from the Sanish field area averaged 36,315 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 35,805 BOE/d in the first quarter 2013. The increase was in part attributable to a higher density drilling program at the Parshall field. We have initiated our higher density pilot project in the Sanish field. If successful, this could add 191 gross well locations.

House votes to extend pay freeze for fed workersBy JIM ABRAMS
The Associated Press | February 16,2013WASHINGTON The U.S. House voted Friday to extend a pay freeze for federal workers, already in effect for more than two years, for another nine months.
Republicans, who largely backed the measure, said it would save $11 billion in the long run and that economically secure public servants could go a little longer without a raise.
Most Democrats, and the White House, criticized the bill as an example of anti-government bias and said Republicans, instead of debating a bill that has little chance of advancing in the Democratic-controlled Senate, should be concentrating on avoiding the pending automatic cuts to federal programs that could have a painful effect on the economy.
The House measure, approved on a 261-154 vote, blocks an executive order issued by President Barack Obama last December that would give the nations 2 million civilian federal workers a 0.5 percent cost-of-living raise from March 27, when the current federal spending agreement expires, through the end of the year.
The White House has indicated it will also include a 1 percent federal pay increase in its 2014 budget proposal.
The White House, in a statement, opposed the House bill, saying federal workers have already done more than their part in bringing down the deficit and that the legislation was added burden on those who assure the safety of this countrys food and airways, defend the homeland, provide health care to the nations veterans, search for cures to devastating diseases and provide vital support to our troops at home and abroad.
Obama in 2010 initiated a two-year freeze on federal COLAs as part of an effort to reduce the deficit.
