Shad, I hate to tell you .... but bowling is not an aerobic exercise.
Actually, I feel lucky that I am minus -10 pounds now (310). I must be doing something right because I haven't stuck to the diet all that well, but I've lost 3 pounds in the last 2+ weeks anyway. I thought that because recently I had a meat loaf dinner, and some other fairly big dinners (once about 3/4 of a grocery-store roasted chicken), that I must be losing ground. But I guess not.
Sassy ... I bought a bag of flaxseeds and also some 100% bran - not cereal, but the oatmeal-y powder-ish stuff on the baking aisle. So now my smoothies have:
1. 1% milk
2. one-sixth of a standard carton of nonfat yogurt (vanilla)
3. 1 banana
4. 1 fruit of the day (frozen strawberries blueberries raspberries or peaches)
5. 2-3 tbsp Wheat germ
6. 2-3 tbsp flaxseed
7. 2-3 tbsp pure bran
8. sometimes an egg
9. I'm thinking tufu might work ... it sounds gross, but it's not really. It would prolly be a better thickener than yogurt.
The smoothies are really good (although I have to add two Sweet-n-Low packets to the blueberry one). I am managing to get through most of the day on just one of these plus coffee - at least until mid-afternoon. I've also quit fast food altogether ... that has to be good (before this diet, I could almost say in my sleep: "

(HealthDay News) -- If you think of exercise as a chore that you have to do, it can be more difficult to stick with it.
The Weight-Control Information Network offers these suggestions for making exercise fun:
Figure out which fitness activities you enjoy most, and incorporate them into your exercise routine. Try to vary the routine so you don't become bored.
Walk with a friend or family member, or sign up together for an exercise class.
Build a community or backyard garden, and work in it regularly.
Exercise in short spurts, such as three 10-minute walks.
If you are concerned about exercising outdoors for safety reasons, join a local gym.

Summary: Broadly describes the essential topics of the organic chemicals industry
In the past two decades, the organic chemicals industry has undergone unprecedented restructuring, complicated feedstock problems, and massive shifts of capacity to developing countries. In the developed world, specialty chemicals have gained increasing significance. Although the fundamentals of organic chemical and polymer production have remained largely constant, one needs to be aware of the economic, struct ...show moreural, and political changes in the industry in order to understand its current state.
This much-expanded Second Edition of Industrial Organic Chemicals presents the various technologies and processes involved in the organic chemicals industry as an organized body of knowledge. It describes the chemistry of the seven basic building block chemicals and their derivatives, how they are manufactured, their economic importance, uses, and associated environmental issues. Also covered are two topics essential to an understanding of modern industrial chemistry-catalysis and polymer synthesis.
Key additions to this Second Edition include discussion of:
* Sustainability and ''green'' chemistry
* Dendrimers
* Metallocenes
* Chemicals in biotechnology
* Specialty chemicals for pharmaceuticals, electronics, fire retardation, fuel additives, foods, and other uses
* Economic, political, and social concepts for understanding future directions of the industry
Industrial Organic Chemicals, Second Edition presents the chemistry of both large-scale and specialty products while taking into account important political, environmental, and economic considerations. It provides both a narrative account of the evolution of today's industry from the viewpoint of authors intimately involved with the changes, and an essential reference for chemists, chemical engineers, plastics engineers, petroleum engineers, managers, executives, and policy makers working in and with the organic chemical industry. ...show less

The Employee Rights Advocacy Institute For Law & Policy
In a unanimous opinion authored by Justice Clarence Thomas, the United States Supreme Court held that warehouse workers filling amazon.com orders, do not have to be paid for time spent waiting for and passing through a rigorous security screening prior to exiting the workplace. In Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk
The following Guest Blog was written by Richard R. Renner, a member of NELA's Executive Board.
Pleading standards are
important. A judge's decision about whether a complaint is adequate can make
the difference between winning or losing a case.
Lawyers have been in a tizzy about
a pair of Supreme Court decisions, Twombly and Iqbal, in which
the Supreme Court allowed cases to be dismissed merely because the plaintiffs
could not be specific enough about their claims to make their cases
"plausible." These decisions protected Bell Atlantic from an anti-trust claim,
and former Attorney General Ashcroft from liability for the prison beating of
Javad Iqbal shortly after the 9/11 attacks.
On October 29, 2014, NELA joined the National Employment Law Project (NELP) and other organizations to request leave to submit an amicus brief in support of plaintiffs-appellants in Marzuq v. Cadete Enterprises (d/b/a Dunkin' Donuts), No. 14-1744, pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The issues in this case fall within NELA's amicus priority of confronting wage theft and compensable time violations. Plaintiffs are represented by NELA member Shannon Liss-Riordan, Lichten & Liss-Riordan, P.C. (Boston, MA). The amicus brief was drafted by NELA member Peter Winebrake, Winebrake & Santillo, L.L.C. (Dresher, PA), and Anthony Mischel of NELP.
Plaintiffs, former managers at Dunkin' Donuts stores, are seeking overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Managers are expected to work 48 hours per week and often work more than 60 hours. Conversely, hourly employees are prohibited from working extra hours. The issue is whether the managers, who spend most of their work day performing the same work as the hourly employees, including serving customers, were misclassified as exempt employees and entitled to overtime pay. As is common in the fast food industry, the managers did not earn much more than the hourly employees.
On Wednesday, October 8, 2014, I attended the oral arguments
at the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Integrity
Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk. The issue before the Court is whether employees
should be paid for time spent waiting and completing an elaborate security
screening used for inventory control (or anti-theft) purposes after clocking
out at the end of a shift. Workers at Amazon.com warehouses, employed by
Integrity Staffing Solutions, are required to undergo a mandatory search of their
body and belongings before being permitted to exit the facility. The search, which
is similar to that conducted at airports, required employees to empty their
pockets, have their bags searched, and walk through a metal detector. Long
lines often formed at the screening stations, requiring workers to wait up to
25 minutes before they could leave the premises. The workers are represented by
Mark R. Thierman, Thierman Law Firm, P.C., Reno, Nevada, and Professor Eric
Schnapper, University of Washington School of Law, Seattle, Washington.
Counsel for Integrity Staffing Solutions, Paul D. Clement, Bancroft
PLLC, characterized the wait time as simply a "logical part of the egress
process" that did not merit compensation. He argued that the Portal-to-Portal
Act of 1947, which amended the Fair Labor Standards Act, requires the screening
to be an "integral and indispensable" component of the workers' "principal
activities" in order to mandate compensation under the law. Clement repeatedly
asserted that the screenings were in no way "integral and indispensable" to the
work the employees performed. He compared the screening to checking out at the
end of the workday—an activity for which employees are not compensated.
On August 11, 2014, NELA filed an amicus brief in support of Respondents in the U.S. Supreme Court in Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. v. Busk, No. 13-433, a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) case. NELA members Mark R. Thierman and Eric Schnapper represent Respondents Jesse Busk and Laurie Castor and others similarly situated. The question presented is whether the time employees spend in security screenings is compensable under the FLSA, as amended by the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947. The issues raised in this case fall squarely within NELA's current amicus priorities of challenging wage theft and compensable time violations.
Respondents Busk and Castro were Amazon.com warehouse workers employed by Petitioner Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc. They seek back pay, overtime, and double damages under the FLSA for time spent in security screenings after the end of their work shifts. After clocking out, these workers had to submit to a mandatory and rigorous anti-theft screening process similar to that found at airport security check points.
A Tour de Force: Draconian Proposed Changes To The Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure Withdrawn
Congratulations—we marshaled our resources well and were successful! Our collective voices challenging the proposed changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were heard by the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and resulted in significant changes to the original proposals. This is precisely how the rulemaking process should work.
As you know, the Judicial Conference of the United States proposed to change the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to limit discovery significantly with the result that plaintiffs in federal court actions, including your clients, would be deprived of access to essential information. The proposed rules sought to reduce the presumptive number of depositions to five from ten, each deposition to one day of six hours instead of seven hours, the presumptive number of interrogatories to 15 from 25, and to create a presumptive limit of 25 requests for admission where none previously existed.
Two additional proposed rules regarding proportionality and spoliation also would have affected plaintiffs' ability to obtain discovery of evidence asymetrically in employers' hands and make it harder to obtain a remedy for destruction of evidence.
NELA Blows The Whistle On General Mills -- Efforts Responsible For Significant Progress In Movement To End Forced Arbitration
As many of you are aware, there has been a trifecta of bad corporate behavior toward employees and consumers. The Oakland Raiders' motion to compel arbitration in the case Lacy T. v. Oakland Raiders provided a national platform to educate America's workers on what is happening to their employment and civil rights as a result of forced arbitration. NELA led the charge on that as we worked with Lacy T.'s counsel, sending her attorneys' and NELA's statements to hundreds of major media outlets. This produced a flurry of social media activity and many excellent news articles, including the ones in the LA Times and ESPN online, with more expected as the case progresses.
The Oakland Raiderettes are among the millions of workers across America who
are compelled by their employers to give up their rights to go to court and a trial by jury because of forced arbitration clauses. Read NELA's statement to find out how the Raiderettes' case and the Oakland Raiders' response impacts you as an employee, and as an consumer, and what you can do about it.
NELA's Statement On The
The Oakland Raiders' Motion To Compel Arbitration In Lacy T. v. The Oakland Raiders
(Washington, DC) – On Friday, March 14, 2014, a significant development occurred in the case of Lacy T. v. The Oakland Raiders, a class action filed in California state court by the team's employee cheerleaders, known as the Raiderettes, alleging violations of California's wage and hour laws and other statutes.
"The Raiders are using their unequal power against these women to enforce a dubious forced arbitration provision that would strip them of their right to have their day in court," said Terisa E. Chaw, Executive Director of the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA). "Rather than have a judge or jury hear the women's claims in a court of law, they are being required to present their dispute to Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the National Football League."
The Fall 2013 Term of the U.S. Supreme Court began Monday with an age discrimination case, with broad implications for civil rights enforcement under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. A lively argument left questions as to whether the Justices had chosen the right case to begin their year. In fact, many justices expressed skepticism about whether Madigan v. Levin, No. 12-872, was properly before them.
Madigan v. Levin is a challenge to a 7th Circuit ruling, 692 F.3d 607, upholding the right of Harvey Levin, a former senior member of the Illinois Attorney General's Office, to contest his termination, allegedly based on his age, under the Age Discrimination Employment Act (ADEA), the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act.
The petitioner, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, argued that the ADEA is the exclusive remedy for age discrimination claims. She asserted that federal anti-discrimination statutes, including the ADEA, are so comprehensive as to demonstrate Congress' intent to preclude a parallel anti-discrimination claim under the Constitution, and therefore that the ADEA displaced any competing, constitutional claim for age discrimination under the Constitution or § 1983.
Following the unanimous Advisory Committee recommendation that the Duke Subcommittee's proposed discovery rule amendments package be approved for publication, the Standing Committee voted to adopt the Advisory Committee's recommendation at its meeting in early June. The proposed amendments were published for public comment on August 15, 2013. As expected, the comment period will remain open for six months (i.e., until February 15, 2014). Public hearings will be held during this public comment period. Three hearings will be held around the country, including one Washington, DC on November 7, 2013; a second in Phoenix, AZ on January 9, 2014; and a third in Dallas, TX on February 7, 2014. Ideally, members should aim to submit their comments by October 1, 2013 in advance of the first hearing. All comments submitted to the Advisory Committee earlier this year will be docketed on the
On July 14, 2013, NELA joined AARP in filing an amicus brief supporting Carl Summers, a contract statistician with Altarum Institute Corp. who sustained serious injury to both legs in an October 2011 accident, in his appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Mr. Summers was terminated in December 2011 while recuperating from these injuries despite properly requesting an accommodation under the federal disability laws. Amici address several aspects of disability law not analyzed with clarity or precision by the district court, including the significance of enactment of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) as well as the issuance of revised regulations by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding the status of non-permanent medical conditions. In particular, the district court failed to analyze properly whether Summers was "substantially limited" in a "major life activity," and whether Altarum "failed" to "reasonably" accommodate his injuries.

In the wake of a series of tragic mass deaths in Bangladesh's ready-made garment factories, public outcry prompted two international trade unions, IndustriALL Global Union and UNI Global Union, to take action by engaging major retail brands to negotiate a contractual agreement. The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh (Safety Accord) is intended to make factories safer for garment workers in Bangladesh. The initial deadline for retailers to sign the Safety Accord was May 15, 2013 and an
NELA joined AARP in filing amicus curiae briefs in two important cases supporting employees with claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Heimseshoff v. Hartford Life & Accident Insurance Co. and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Case No. 12-729), pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, involves the question of when a statute of limitations should accrue under ERISA for judicial review of an adverse disability benefit determination. In this case, the plaintiff brought suit to obtain long-term disability benefits from her employee benefit plan. The lower courts dismissed her case as time-barred by the three-year statute of limitations period established in the benefit plan policy, a holding that meant her claim accrued before she had received the adverse determination of her appeal through the plan's mandatory claims procedures. If the Court were to adopt Hartford's application of the plan's statute of limitations for judicial review, this would result in the statute of limitations running before the employee has even had the opportunity to exhaust the plan's mandatory claims procedures.

When President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), he envisioned the law as a first step toward ensuring a level playing field for women in the workforce. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this landmark legislation, it is important to evaluate its effectiveness in preventing wage discrimination based on gender. In 1963, women workers made just 59 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. Today, women workers earn 77 cents for every dollar taken home by male workers, a figure that is

A Mac in Every Library
I've had a post like this in the back of my head for weeks now -- really since I started messing with Apple's iLife '06, an application suite that makes podcasting and video creation a breeze! I wanted to write about what benefits a library would gain by buying a Mac or two (or more) to offer what I've been calling "Digital Creation Stations."
While putting together our reading list and outlines with Jenny for the ALA Library 2.0 project, I reread Jessamyn's Library 2.0: How do you share? and discovered Mathew Dames' post about just such a thing! So, take a look...it's a perfect solution!
I would love to see a library make an investment in M-Audio's Podcast Factory so that those with a library card can create their own podcast material. This sort of initiative would require a contemporary computer with FireWire and USB ports, an external hard drive, a microphone, powered speakers, audio editing software, a decent digital audio workstation, an audio interface, sound libraries, and a room (preferably one that has some level of noise reducing insulation). The Podcast Factory includes the microphone, the interface, the sound libraries, the editing software (the free open source audio recorder and editor Audacity), and the digital audio workstation (a stripped down version of Ableton Live).
The ideal computer for this sort of venture would be an Apple iMac because it is powerful, optimized for multimedia work, is space efficient, and includes its own suite of "prosumer" multimedia tools (including GarageBand, Apple's entry level digital audio workstation). For a few extra bucks, the library could invest in an Apple Loops collection for additional sound sources.
I estimate this sort of venture would cost the following:
M-Audio's Podcast Factory: $180.00
Apple iMac G5: $2,000.00
Apple Loops Jam Packs collection: $200.00
USB keyboard controller: $350.00
Powered speakers: $350.00
The prices have changed as have the Mac models but this is a great roadmap to adding high-powered, easy to use multimedia creation to any library. Dames also urges librarians to seek grants from Apple etc. Good stuff!

Nick Jonas Made Selena Gomez Cry, the Big Meanie
Now this is just...intriguing...
Selena Gomez apparently dropped in to see her rumored ex-beau Nick Jonas perform with his band The Administration at Detroit's Fox Theater on Saturday night, and according to an eyewitness account, the Wizards of Waverly Place star got a tad emotional when NiJo busted out his soulful new ballad, "Stay."
The audience member reveals,
"Selena Gomez was sitting directly in front of me at the Nick Jonas concert in Detroit. She was crying during 'Stay.' She kept covering her face and shaking her head."
Luckily, Sel's dad was on hand, and was "comforting her" during her vulnerable moment.
But what about the song—a seeming plea to an ex to set aside the problems of the past and just, um, stay—could have sent Gomez into such an emotional tizzy?
Gosh, we have no idea. But if you have any theories, feel free to drop them in the comments section.
UPDATE: According to certain accounts, Selena's knight in shining armor at the concert wasn't her father, but Nick's. It's nice to know that someone in that family knows how to treat a lady, anyway...

HELP me with seo on my website please
Hi I have been learning about seo and done all i think i can to try and get a better ranking in google but i am pulling my hair out. Am I doing seo right? Feels like i am getting no where can anyone have a look at my website and guide me as where I am going wrong please?
My website is http://www.belfastcomputerrepair.co.uk/
No one can answer if you're doing seo right if you don't tell us what you're doing in the first place.
My company is a new one, my website has been live for approx. 6 months and it's ranked no 1 on Google for 8 of my keywords, rank 2 for 3 of my keywords and rank 3 for 8 keywords. Keywords are the important ones "computer repair <town>", "laptop repair <town>", "pc repair <town>" etc etc...
It's possible to rank well quickly but it's not easy, here is what I did in no particular order of importance:
Get social - you need a Facebook, twitter, Google+ page etc... all linking to your main site
Onsite optimization - make sure you build good internal links to several pages, have good alt text and titles. Using a good wordpress theme and an seo plugin worked wonders for me.
Page content - good content onsite with relevant keywords but don't stuff them and make sure the site is good, no point being no 1 on Google if people leave your page after one look. Have a blog on your site with unique content you update at least once every few months. Have a nofollow newsfeed on your main page to keep fresh content.
Check your competitors links (http://www.belfastlaptoprepairs.com) on Google (IMPORTANT) you want to make sure you have a link on EVERY site they appear on and then some.
Backlinks - aim to get AT LEAST 5 .edu backlinks, it can be from blog comments just make sure they are not too spammy and make sure you use good link text in your backlink. As many other backlinks as possible. If you can get a .gov backlink do it, I have one and it made a big difference.
Directories - you want a link on yelp, 118, scoot, hotfrog etc etc...
Article submission - submit your blog posts to sites like ezinearticles.com, www.squidoo.com etc etc.. and make sure each article contains a few good keyword rich backlinks to your site.
Contact info - make sure you have your physical address and contact numbers etc in text format on every page on your site (even if it's just in the footer)
Google paces - create a page
IMPORTANT - Monitoring:
- Get a Google analytics account setup correctly
- Get a Google webmaster tools account
- Start a Google adwords campaign if just to use their keyword tool and you can easily find a free £50 voucher to get started
- Install "Free Monitor for Google" from http://www.cleverstat.com to check your progress (IMPORTANT)
- Install awstats
Once you have done ALL the above then you should start to see your site move up the rankings quickly. Hope this helps you and others.
SEO really isn't a black art and there is no magic bullet, it takes hard work, lots of typing and keeping a close eye on your competitors.
I expect I missed some of the stuff I did but thats all I can remember at the moment.
Good luck!
P.S - Backlinks are VERY important, for example ask yourself why you are posting in a forum with a pagerank of 5 that allows dofollow backlinks without adding a few keyword rich backlinks to your own site????

I'm trying to improve the SEO for my site too, and came across a tool yesterday which helps you focus on the key things that search engines look at on your site. Check out:-
There is a paid for version, but also a free trial which I think will be good enough for the size of site most of us have.
Found the link on a podcast "SEO 101: Learning SEO basics".
Tekwise Computer Support
Enfield, UK
another thing is start simple if you know nothing about seo -
Look at the basics, Your keywords. Add keywords to your web site, have different ones on different pages, Make sure your title states what you do on all pages. Links find local companies or other local web sites to add you and you link back.
The very simple things help. Also look at what your competitors are doing with the keywords they use.
also listen to captins post
Thank you - Mason

Some things to consider...
Hi Mo,
I don't consider myself an expert in SEO, but over the past couple of years i have learned a thing or two about the topic.
Here are a few suggestions for you to consider:
Quality content is king!
Clean up your text and fix spelling errors.
"Hassel Free" should be Hassle Free
"Mafee" should be McAfee
Those were just a couple of errors that jumped out at first glance.
Your on page SEO passes most items suggested by the SEOquake plugin for Firefox. It did flag a few items that should be addressed. I suggest installing it and checking over your website yourself. Nice little tool by the way, and easy to use.
I personally think you could get a little more creative in getting your keywords into your page text.
For example the line "Here at Computer Laptop Repair Belfast we do..."
It is unlikely a person will search that exact phrase, and to someone visiting your page it doesn't read very naturally. so maybe try "At Mo's Computer Repair we provide computer and laptop repair in the Belfast area."
Your website is your online storefront and it should look professional. Write your content with the customer in mind rather than focus on optimizing for the search engines.
Lastly, you need quality dofollow back links.
Don't hire a cheap "SEO Company" and have them spam the internet with thousands of worthless back links from private blog networks and forum profiles. Been there, tried that and it's a waste of time. It takes work, but getting a handful of links from a high PR page can do WONDERS for your ranking. Cutting corners is just not worth it!
I suggest spending some time looking around this forum and maybe over at the warriorforum as well.
Good luck!
Very helpful thread, thank you so very much.
I found this article from SEOMOZ pretty helpful as well.
Woorank.com is a nice tool as is the SEO site tools extension for Chrome.

When asking to improve SEO you need to think what you want to enhance. Many times folks want to improve SEO and then get a flood of information that makes things more confusing. Pinpoint what your looking to do!
It likes asking "I want to improve myself" how mentally, emotionally, phsically? and even those can get broken down further.
For now what keyword do you want to rank for?

Do it yourself!
If you're a small business with a limited budget, i would not advise you to hire a company because it's a waste of money. I have tried various different so called SEO companies and - to an extent - they do some good work, like manual directory entries, writing articles and submitting them and so on.
However, if you have a few hours a day ( not everyone has of course! ) you can do all this yourself with a bit of organisation and save a lot of money. In particular, a basic strategy i use is to do the following:
1. Be patient. SEO takes a few months to even kick in.
2. On Site SEO - landing page optimisation, choose correct keywords, put plenty of internal links between pages with the right phrases.
2. Put good backlinks in all quality directories. See what your competitors are doing by using tools like opensiteexplorer
3. Try and write a good 250 page article once a week on your website. Target a particular keyword.
3. Stay on top with tools such as cuterank (monitor progress for keywords per domain), google analytics and webmaster tools.
4. Be social! Join forums, participate in discussions, update your facebook and twitter feeds regularly.

BAY COUNTY-- The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating a fatal traffic crash in northern Bay County.
It happened around 5:00 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 231, near Campflowers Road near Bear Creek.
Troopers say 26-year-old Kenneth Steele was driving his Chevy pick-up truck heading north on Highway 231, when he crossed the median and drove into the southbound lanes.
The pick-up hit a southbound Toyota SUV occupied by 20-year-old driver Devonteal McFann and his 28-year-old passenger Brandon McNeal.
Steele was pronounced dead at the the hospital. McFann and McNeal are listed in serious condition.
Fire rescue personnel had to use the jaws of life to extract at least Steele from his pick-up.
Paramedics took all three people to area hospitals.
The crash shut down the southbound lanes for several hours causing police to direct southbound traffic into northbound lanes until the wreckage could be cleared.
It's still unclear why Steele drove into oncoming traffic.

MVP comes out he tells Taz he isn't going to choke him out, he says this isn't 1996 anymore and he couldn't hurt anybody but not to worry he gets to keep his commentating role on Xplosion because he has to find something for him to do to justify the ridiculous wage Dixie Carter gave him!
He says Don West got re-hired because he is passionate about TNA and is a TNA original and it's who the fans want over a WWE reject!

Special Game to keep a balance, made of by Pico Pao, a workshop with a long history of craftsmanship that began in 1979 in Lubián, a small Spanish village nestled in the mountains on the border with Portugal.
The newer games, which belong to the collection Ludus Ludi, are notable for their lack of rules; they can be seen more as exquisite raw materials for poetic experimentation, for the stimulation of abstract thought, for the interpretation of random discovery and for the playful enjoyment of the senses through direct contact with artistic objects.
The chairs are presented disassembled and must be assembled before playing. One assembled is already included for reference.
Size of the box: 235 x 175 x 45mm.
Components and materials: 14 dissasembled chairs + 1 one already assembled Compressed cardboard.

April 24, 2007
CMS recently announced a contingency plan for implementation of the National Provider Identifier (NPI), scheduled to begin May 23, 2007. The contingency plan gives covered entities up to one year from the deadline--until May 23, 2008--to become compliant with the program and be ready to accept and process claims using the NPI.
However, in order to avoid payment disruptions, ASA members are strongly encouraged to obtain their NPI by the May 23, 2007 deadline. Providers can apply for an NPI online at https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov or can call the NPI enumerator to request a paper application at 1-800-465-3203. ASA members should also ensure that nurse anesthetists and AAs in their practice apply for NPIs as soon as possible.
There are several benefits to obtaining and implementing an NPI sooner rather than later. For example, the new CMS contingency plan allows providers an additional year only if they can demonstrate a "good faith effort" to become compliant with the NPI policy. Obtaining an NPI before the 2007 deadline is one way to show such effort. Further, the NPI will be required when reporting PQRI measures, which will begin in July of this year.
As always, more information and education on the NPI can be found at the CMS NPI page http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalProvIdentStand/ on the CMS website. Also, for a list of new FAQs related to NPI compliance contingency guidance, please click here.

I am not a complete fan of Qantas survival strategy outlined by CEO Joyce in 2011. The strategy involved the following key elements:
Mr Joyce said in Aug-2011: " As a nation we used to fly over or via Asia, on our way to Europe. Now we fly to Asia, both for business and relaxation. And as Asian economies grow, the future will be about travel both to and within Asia,"
Strategy one has started with Qantas pulling out of Hong-Kong and Bangkok to London services and the Auckland-Los Angeles services in March this year.
As for strategy two, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce emphatically said there were 'no plans' or discussions with China Eastern concerning a jointly owned premium carrier. Considering this has failed to get traction in Singapore or Malaysia, one wonders if it is completely dead? Singapore was ruled out after active lobbying from national carrier Singapore Airlines. Malaysia became more of interest when Malaysia Airlines announced its intention to join One World with Qantas and also announced an equity swap with Air Asia. However, Malaysian have already planned their own premium airline named "Sapphire". Qantas pulled the pin on March 12. Next steps anyone?
Strategy three is full throttle, with this week's decision to form Jetstar Hong Kong with China Eastern Airlines.This move aims to tap into both the Hong Kong and Chinese markets. Jetstar says that budget airlines account for under five per cent of the Chinese market. Hong Kong, however, has not been kind to low cost carriers with Oasis Air shutting down in 2008 and Viva Macau Airlines collapsing in 2010. Qantas and China Eastern are contributing just $US198 million in start up capital is needed from both Qantas and China Eastern. With three A320s in 2012 moving to 18 by 2015 this gives Qantas rapid passenger growth for a very low cost.
So Qantas Strategy? Two thirds on track?

During this Fourth of July holiday weekend, nearly 41 million Americans have hit the road, traveling 50 or more miles from home, according to AAA Travel.
That leaves about 275 million Americans who are celebrating at or near their hometowns. What are they doing this weekend, and why?
While the Fourth of July weekend is a peak of the vacation season, it also presents an opportunity for individuals and families to celebrate locally, according to Dr. Bill Norman, professor at Clemson's Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management Department.
Cookouts and in-home celebrations have been and will continue to be part of the weekend, Norman says, but cities and towns are increasingly getting in on the action, sponsoring festivals, fireworks shows, and other activities for those who celebrate close to home.
"Cities and small towns have increased their efforts in creating and bolstering July Fourth activities," he said, "And local citizens are responding very positively to them."
People are responding well, Norman adds, because it costs little money to participate in and travel to them, and it also gives communities the chance to come together.
"Not only do you celebrate a wonderful holiday, but you have the chance to celebrate your own community, and that is a great thing," he says.
The economic benefits to communities who invest in July Fourth activities are obvious, Norman says. But the availability of those local holiday activities also helps spread out the impact of tourism activity across locations and throughout the summer, he adds.
"When local towns and cities have opportunities to celebrate the Fourth close to home, then families can take part in them and travel for out-of-town vacations other times during the summer," he says.
This fits in with the trend of families taking shorter vacations but creating opportunities to engage in leisure or travel activities several times a year, Norman adds.
Whether you are traveling or staying home this holiday weekend, Norman encourages individuals and families to celebrate wherever they are. "Taking part in holidays like the Fourth of July reinforces good traditions, fosters intergenerational experiences, and strengthens relationships among family and friends," he says.

Comments about Speed-Bloc Quarter-Sheet Finishing Sander:
i have had this sander in professional use since 1982.. have changed the brushes and pad a couple of times and that's it.. this is a long time winner of mine.. you just can't go wrong with it..... (if it is used in a tight corner, the metal clips on the sides can mar your surface)

Comments about Speed-Bloc Quarter-Sheet Finishing Sander:
This is a great sander, I own 2 of them and my greatest fear is Porter Cable will stop making them. I've had mine for over 30 years and then bought another about 25 plus years ago. The only negetive comment I can make about the sanders is the stick-it pad doesn't last long enough, every thing else is A-OK

Comments about Speed-Bloc Quarter-Sheet Finishing Sander:
this is a very reliable sander and very easy to use. You don't feel vibration in your hands as with other sanders I've. I have three of this model with different grit sand paper on each.

Comments about Speed-Bloc Quarter-Sheet Finishing Sander:
I own three of these sanders and consider them to be the best orbital sander on the market. They are smooth and do an excellent job at finish sanding. The only problem I have encountered is they start to vibrate after a few years. Replace the coupler and four posts and you are ready to go.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The Spokane School Board is considering whether Spokane Public Schools should have its own armed security force as soon as January.
The Spokesman-Review reported that 13 district employees could start wearing Glock pistols at their sides in a few months if the school board approves the schedule. The board in April decided that school resource officers at each high school and middle school should carry guns, but details remained to be worked out
District security director Jason Conley said arming school resource officers is one safety measure in response to the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn. The district also plans more internal door locks in schools.
It s those outside threats that are driving us to this next level of safety, Conley said.
The district s officers would participate in weapons training at the Spokane Police Academy, which Police Chief Frank Straub says he welcomes. The district s officers already train with local law enforcement on a regular basis, he said. The difference is now the training will also include firearms.
Straub says he supports the district s decision to arm the school resource officers, most of whom used to work in law enforcement.
Only a handful of other school districts in the state arm their employees, said Mark Howard, supervisor of security services. Most school districts with armed officers partner with a local police department or sheriff s office. In those cases, keeping the officers is contingent on the police department s budget.
Also, if there was a major police incident, we d be left vulnerable, Spokane school superintendent Shelley Redinger said. When they are our employees, we are their first priority.
The district would have to work with the Spokane Education Association to change the resource officers contracts because their work conditions are changing, said Jenny Rose, union president.

Celtics ride Daniels' second half to 95-83 victory
These are the nights when Marquis Daniels reminds you of his ability. When he methodically slithers inside the defense, poses matchup difficulties for anyone unlucky enough to defend him, and looks like he should be a front-runner for Sixth Man of the Year.
Tonight, I would even say Daniels took over the game. He was the main reason the Celtics shook off an ugly first quarter (and a few ugly minutes in the third) to beat the Indiana Pacers, 95-83.
Unfortunately, these are also the nights that make you wonder why. Why doesn't Daniels do this every night? Why can't he always provide such a threat? Why does he often fade into the background, rather than making such a severe impact?
I'm barely going to discuss those answers, mostly because I've discussed them in the past. (Put a markedly smaller or slower guy on Daniels, and he's a major threat. Put a player his size and speed on Daniels, and he's not nearly as productive. If Daniels were seven feet tall, I'm entirely convinced he would have been one of the premier low-post players of all-time. Unfortunately, he's a post player in a small forward's body.) Daniels was able to erupt tonight because he saw a favorable matchup. Every once in a while, Daniels sees a defender he can easily work out. His eyes light up, his passiveness washes away, and Daniels becomes a nightmare for opponents. Like tonight.
But more impressive even than Daniels' offense, to me, was his defense.
The only reason the Celtics get away with a Daniels-Allen-Pierce backcourt is Daniels' ability to keep quicker PGs in front of him. That ability seems odd, because Daniels always seems like he's idling. His gas pedal rarely pressed very forcefully, Daniels slowly coasts around the court, like a middle-aged man out for a weeknight jog. He almost never seems quick, even for a small forward. And then he defends Darren Collison, a blur with the ball, and keeps him in between his knees the whole time. (Pause.)
You see, Daniels travels at his own speed. There's a calmness and pace to his game, which usually hide the quickness he displays while defending the league's quicker point guards. Yet when he needs to, Daniels breaks out another gear. Let's call it the "I desperately need to be quicker than normal, because otherwise Collison will blow right by me every time" gear.
While Daniels was a catalyst, he wasn't the only Celtic who brought it tonight. Kevin Garnett didn't exactly scorch the nets, but he didn't need to. He was everywhere defensively, disrupting everything Indiana tried to do. There was one possession when Roy Hibbert desperately tried to post Garnett on the blocks. Sorry, bro. Not happening. Garnett fronted him, denying Hibbert the ball. Hibbert tried again to establish position. Again, not happening. After a third attempt at good position, Hibbert finally gave up. But Garnett's defense wasn't done. Danny Granger drove to the hoop, and Garnett contested the shot. If I'm not mistaken, he also grabbed the rebound. Try again, Pacers. This ain't last year's Garnett.
Paul Pierce, as Pierce tends to do, gave the game what it needed. After picking up two quick fouls, Pierce re-entered the game early in the second quarter. Seeing that Nate Robinson was not doing a very good Rajon Rondo impression, Pierce became the primary playmaker. He threaded a pass to Glen Davis for an easy layup, then proceeded to score seven straight points himself. One of the buckets was vintage Pierce, posting up a smaller defender at the elbow and making the defender his puppet. Is any other player better at making smaller defenders pay? (And no, Marquis Daniels isn't quite at Pierce's level.)
Avery Bradley won't get much credit for a good night, but actually kept a smile on my face the whole time he played. Bradley's offensive game (wait, what offensive game?) still needs work. He's hesitant, and doesn't yet make instinctual moves. But defensively, and hustle-wise? Yes, please. There was one play when Bradley hounded T.J. Ford, forcing him to aimlessly dribble 20 or so seconds off the shot clock. There was another play when Bradley hunted down a rebound with ferocity, and another when he missed a shot, scampered after his rebound, and got fouled on a reverse layup attempt. Bradley still lacks any type of polish whatsoever, but he plays SO hard. Hustle alone doesn't make a great NBA player, or else Brian Cardinal would have been an All-Star. But Bradley's got impressive heart, and if he plays as hard as he did tonight, he'll impact every game he plays.
Von Wafer played decently, Nate Robinson continued his recent struggles, Ray Allen was silently Ray Allen, and Shaq keeps compiling fouls like they're worth something. Glen Davis was the 2010 version of Glen Davis, and Jermaine O'Neal logged more fouls (3) than points and rebounds combined (2). Let's hope he's just taking some time to get his 'C' legs (see what I did there?).
For the Pacers, I still have a soft spot in my heart for James Posey (and Jim O'Brien, and Walter McCarty, but most definitely not Vitaly Potapenko). Also, one more thing: when Josh McRoberts played for Duke, if you told me he was going to start for an NBA team in 2010, I would have told you, "Yeah, only if the NBA expands to a 70-team league." But he's actually halfway decent, and it's weird. As a Blue Devil fan, McRoberts was somewhere between "ridiculously disappointing" and "the most over-hyped recruit in Duke history." Now, he's a high-flying white boy who lives to attack the rim.
But no matter how improbable McRoberts' NBA success (can I call it that?) has been, this night will remain Marquis Daniels'.
If only Darren Collison could defend him every game.
One Response to "Celtics ride Daniels' second half to 95-83 victory"
Holy crap, Daniels won us a game. Damn, never thought it would happen. If only he would play like this EVERY night.

Manuel Antonio is one of the most exclusive areas in Costa Rica, however budget hotels can be found. It started out as a tiny village that had a beautiful National Park, Manuel Antonio National Park, next to it. As the park started to become more known more hotels started springing up. Because of Manuel Antonios size, or lack of size, hotels started building on the road to Manuel Antonio and many started taking advantage of the magnificent panoramic views. Soon very exclusive hotels arrived, thus bringing us to present day Manuel Antonio, however budget hotels can be found but most are found down near the beach. More expensive hotels have loftier, breezy perches and most offer off season rates. Many hilltop hotels may have steep steps; inquire. It can be a tough, hot walk back up the hill from the beach if you dont want to wait for the bus, however this does run every half hour.
The National Park is small only 682 hectares however it epitomizes everything tourists flock to Costa Rica to see: stunning beaches, a magnificent setting with islands offshore, lush rainforest laced with a network of easy to walk trails, and wildlife galore. There is good chance that you will see monkeys (howler, white faced, and possibly squirrel monkeys), sloths, and coatimundis. Scarlet macaws do frequent the area however you may need a bit of luck to see them.
Despite Manuel Antonios size, it is one of the countrys most popular parks, with as many as 150,000 visitors annually in recent years. A few years ago the deluge of visitors threatened to spoil the very things they had come to see. Park Director Jose Antonio Salazar believes the park can withstand no more than 300 visitors a day. In 1994, the Park Service began limiting the numbers of visitors to 600 per day (800 on Saturday and Sunday), and the park is now closed on Monday. If you wish to do your bit to help preserve Manuel Antonio, consider visiting in the green or wet season. Litter and pollution are additional problems, pack out what you pack in.
Nonetheless, the park is too small to sustain a healthy and viable population of certain animals. If the monkeys do not have access to areas outside the park, the population will decline because they cannot breed. Corridors that allow the animals access to areas outside the park have been taken up by hotels, so that the park has, in recent years, become an island. As a result, the squirrel monkey (mono titi) population is declining. Fortunately, in 2000, a decree was issued to triple the parks size to just under 1800 hectares, almost tripling the size of the park.

Common points to Chicago before the upcoming NBA season
BY COMMON Daily Splash columnist October 18, 2012 5:54PM
Common off the court at the All-Star Game. | Photo by D. Dudley
Updated: October 31, 2012 9:08AM
Basketball season is almost here. I cannot wait.
We could go back and forth all day on who's going to take it all the way this year. For now, I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself. But have you noticed that Chicago always seems to be in the middle of the next big change in basketball?
I used to watch Michael Jordan and think that the game couldn't get any better than what I was seeing. Can you imagine there was a time when Jordan's type of play wasn't legal on the court? It's true. In fact, my dad used to play for legendary African-American coach Jim Brown at DuSable High School. In 1954, Coach Brown was the first to take an all-black high school team to the state championship game. That team ushered in modern-day basketball. Just think: A Chicago high school team brought us everything that makes basketball exciting today.
What's even more exciting to me is the new talent coming out of Chicago and into the forefront. If Jabari Parker lives up to expectations, he'll be the third No. 1 overall pick in the NBA within the last seven years who hails from Chicago. That list includes Derrick Rose, of course, and Anthony Davis. Add that to the Chi's long history of great ballers: D-Wade, Tim Hardaway, Isiah Thomas, the late great Ben Wilson and me (I couldn't resist!!), just to name a few. Along with having the only franchise to string together two three-peats in a decade, that puts Chicago in a class by itself.
Someone once told me that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior and if history serves as a guide, Chicago will continue to be on the front lines of shaping my favorite game.
So, ya'll tell me — who's going to take it this year?
