The controversial, but revolutionary infertility treatment guide known as pregnancy miracle consists of 6 chapters and 2 appendices. The initial chapters of pregnancy miracle focus on basics of reproductive anatomy and infertility while the later chapters discuss the 5-step plan on overcoming infertility and getting pregnant.
Please understand that we can only provide a brief outline of the details discussed by the pregnancy miracle book. We cannot give out any specific details as that would be plagiarism and/or copyright violation.
Pregnancy Miracle Chapter 1 Review
This is one of the shorter chapters of this book with about 15 pages of content. Here are the main topics covered on this chapter of pregnancy miracle.
Chapter 2 overview
This chapter of Lisa Olson's book is about 30 pages in length and it talks about the basics of infertility. These are the main topics they address under this chapter of the pregnancy miracle book.
Chapter 3
Another 'not so long' chapter with approximately 25 pages! In this chapter, the author discusses how the east and west perceive infertility. Then she gives a questionnaire and talks about 14 factors that may be causing infertility in men and women.
Review of Pregnancy Miracle Chapter 4
This is the main chapter of Lisa Olson's pregnancy book. This is the chapter that goes in to details on the 5-step holistic approach. The book talks a little about Chinese 'Tao' (there are also other pregnancy books on The Tao of Fertility) and then goes on to talk about the five steps of Pregnancy Miracle.
Chapter 5 overview
This chapter, named "What to do during the program", has a little bit of everything from reading your body's signals and signs to record keeping to software that you can use to keep track of yourself to importance of exercising correctly to stress control to massage to proper sleeping to male infertility.
Outline of Chapter 6
This chapter, named "Considering special circumstances", is dedicated to addressing infertility issues under… you guessed it right…. 'special circumstances'!
The special circumstances they deal with are
You CAN get pregnant. You CAN conceive. If others can, so CAN you! Just find out what you may be doing wrong. Somebody great said "Every Complex Problem has a Simple Solution". And that simple solution is lying right it front of your eyes. Take action, BE POSITIVE, if you put your heart and mind to anything..
Appendix 1 and 2
The 6 chapters are followed by 2 appendices. Appendix 1 is about alternative and complementary therapies (e.g. _________, massage, yoga, and some other sections). Appendix 2 is about IVF, or in vitro fertilization
Yes I'm yet to see such a detailed chapter by chapter review. It would have been nice if those 'blanks' were filled, however I understand that if you did that we wouldn't have to buy the book

Manufacturers and processors for hire—Sales and use tax exemption for machinery and equipment.
This section explains the retail sales and use tax exemption provided by RCW
5 and 82.12.02565 for sales to or use by manufacturers or processors for hire of machinery and equipment (M&E) used directly in a manufacturing operation or research and development operation. This section explains the requirements that must be met to substantiate a claim of exemption. For information regarding the distressed area sales and use tax deferral refer to WAC
and chapter
RCW. For the high technology business sales and use tax deferral refer to chapter
For purposes of the manufacturing machinery and equipment tax exemption the following definitions will apply.
(a) "Cogeneration" means the simultaneous generation of electrical energy and low-grade heat from the same fuel. See RCW
(b) "Device" means an item that is not attached to the building or site. Examples of devices are: Forklifts, chainsaws, air compressors, clamps, free standing shelving, software, ladders, wheelbarrows, and pulleys.
(c) "Industrial fixture" means an item attached to a building or to land. Fixtures become part of the real estate to which they are attached and upon attachment are classified as real property, not personal property. Examples of "industrial fixtures" are fuel oil lines, boilers, craneways, and certain concrete slabs.
(d) "Machinery and equipment" means industrial fixtures, devices, and support facilities, and tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component thereof, including repair parts and replacement parts. "Machinery and equipment" includes pollution control equipment installed and used in a qualifying operation to prevent air pollution, water pollution, or contamination that might otherwise result from the operation. "M&E" means "machinery and equipment."
(e) "Manufacturer" has the same meaning as provided in chapter
(f) "Manufacturing" has the same meaning as "to manufacture" in chapter
(g) "Manufacturing operation" means the manufacturing of articles, substances, or commodities for sale as tangible personal property. A manufacturing operation begins at the point where the raw materials enter the manufacturing site and ends at the point where the processed material leaves the manufacturing site. The operation includes storage of raw materials at the site, the storage of in-process materials at the site, and the storage of the processed material at the site. The manufacturing operation is defined in terms of a process occurring at a location. To be eligible as a qualifying use of M&E, the use must take place within the manufacturing operation, unless specifically exempted by law. Storage of raw material or other tangible personal property, packaging of tangible personal property, and other activities that potentially qualify under the "used directly" criteria, and that do not constitute manufacturing in and of themselves, are not within the scope of the exemption unless they take place at a manufacturing site. The statute specifically allows testing to occur away from the site.
The term "manufacturing operation" also includes that portion of a cogeneration project that is used to generate power for consumption within the manufacturing site of which the cogeneration project is an integral part. The term does not include the production of electricity by a light and power business as defined in RCW
or the preparation of food products on the premises of a person selling food products at retail.
(i) Neither duration or temporary nature of the manufacturing activity nor mobility of the equipment determine whether a manufacturing operation exists. For example, operations using portable saw mills or rock crushing equipment are considered "manufacturing operations" if the activity in which the person is engaged is manufacturing. Rock crushing equipment that deposits material onto a roadway is not used in a manufacturing operation because this is a part of the constructing activity, not a manufacturing activity. Likewise, a concrete mixer used at a construction site is not used in a manufacturing operation because the activity is constructing, not manufacturing. Other portable equipment used in nonmanufacturing activities, such as continuous gutter trucks or trucks designed to deliver and combine aggregate, or specialized carpentry tools, do not qualify for the same reasons.
(ii) Manufacturing tangible personal property for sale can occur in stages, taking place at more than one manufacturing site. For example, if a taxpayer processes pulp from wood at one site, and transfers the resulting pulp to another site that further manufactures the product into paper, two separate manufacturing operations exist. The end product of the manufacturing activity must result in an article, substance, or commodity for sale.
(h) "Processor for hire" has the same meaning as used in chapter
RCW and as explained in WAC
Manufacturing, processing for hire, fabricating.
(i) "Qualifying operation" means a manufacturing operation, a research and development operation, or a testing operation.
(j) "Research and development operation" means engaging in research and development as defined in RCW
by a manufacturer or processor for hire. RCW
defines "research and development" to mean: Activities performed to discover technological information, and technical and nonroutine activities concerned with translating technological information into new or improved products, processes, techniques, formulas, inventions, or software. The term includes exploration of a new use for an existing drug, device, or biological product if the new use requires separate licensing by the Federal Food and Drug Administration under chapter 21, C.F.R., as amended. The term does not include adaptation or duplication of existing products where the products are not substantially improved by application of the technology, nor does the term include surveys and studies, social science and humanities research, market research or testing, quality control, sale promotion and service, computer software developed for internal use, and research in areas such as improved style, taste, and seasonal design.
(k) "Sale" has the same meaning as "sale" in chapter
RCW, which includes by reference RCW
includes by reference the definition of "retail sale" in RCW
. "Sale" includes renting or leasing, conditional sale contracts, leases with option to purchase, and any contract under which possession of the property is given to the purchaser but title is retained by the vendor as security for the payment of the purchase price.
(l) "Site" means the location at which the manufacturing or testing takes place.
(m) "Support facility" means a part of a building, or a structure or improvement, used to contain or steady an industrial fixture or device. A support facility must be specially designed and necessary for the proper functioning of the industrial fixture or device and must perform a function beyond being a building or a structure or an improvement. It must have a function relative to an industrial fixture or a device. To determine if some portion of a building is a support facility, the parts of the building are examined. For example, a highly specialized structure, like a vibration reduction slab under a microchip clean room, is a support facility. Without the slab, the delicate instruments in the clean room would not function properly. The ceiling and walls of the clean room are not support facilities if they only serve to define the space and do not have a function relative to an industrial fixture or a device.
(n) "Tangible personal property" has its ordinary meaning.
(o) "Testing" means activities performed to establish or determine the properties, qualities, and limitations of tangible personal property.
(p) "Testing operation" means the testing of tangible personal property for a manufacturer or processor for hire. A testing operation begins at the point where the tangible personal property enters the testing site and ends at the point where the tangible personal property leaves the testing site. The term also includes that portion of a cogeneration project that is used to generate power for consumption within the site of which the cogeneration project is an integral part. The term does not include the production of electricity by a light and power business as defined in RCW
or the preparation of food products on the premises of a person selling food products at retail. The testing operation is defined in terms of a process occurring at a location. To be eligible as a qualifying use of M&E, the use must take place within the testing operation, unless specifically excepted by law.
Sales and use tax exemption.
The M&E exemption provides a retail sales and use tax exemption for machinery and equipment used directly in a manufacturing operation or research and development operation. Sales of or charges made for labor and services rendered in respect to installing, repairing, cleaning, altering, or improving qualifying machinery and equipment are also exempt from sales tax. However, because the exemption is limited to items with a useful life of one year or more, some charges for repair, labor, services, and replacement parts may not be eligible for the exemption. In the case of labor and service charges that cover both qualifying and nonqualifying repair and replacement parts, the labor and services charges are presumed to be exempt. If all of the parts are nonqualifying, the labor and service charge is not exempt, unless the parts are incidental to the service being performed, such as cleaning, calibrating, and adjusting qualifying machinery and equipment.
The exemption may be taken for qualifying machinery and equipment used directly in a testing operation by a person engaged in testing for a manufacturer or processor for hire.
Sellers remain subject to the retailing B&O tax on all sales of machinery and equipment to consumers if delivery is made within the state of Washington, notwithstanding that the sale may qualify for an exemption from the retail sales tax.
(a) Sales tax. The purchaser must provide the seller with an exemption certificate. The exemption certificate must be completed in its entirety. The seller must retain a copy of the certificate as a part of its records. This certificate may be issued for each purchase or in blanket form certifying all future purchases as being exempt from sales tax. Blanket certificates are valid for as long as the buyer and seller have a recurring business relationship. A "recurring business relationship" means at least one sale transaction within a period of twelve consecutive months. RCW
The form must contain the following information:
(i) Name, address, and registration number of the buyer;
(ii) Name of the seller;
(iii) Name and title of the authorized agent of the buyer/user;
(iv) Authorized signature;
(v) Date; and
(vi) Whether the form is a single use or blanket-use form.
A copy of a M&E certificate form may be obtained from the department of revenue (department) on the internet at
, or by contacting the department's taxpayer services division at:
Department of Revenue
Taxpayer Services
P.O. Box 47478
Olympia, WA 98504-7478
(b) Use tax. The use tax complements the retail sales tax by imposing a tax of like amount upon the use within this state as a consumer of any tangible personal property purchased at retail, where the user has not paid retail sales tax with respect to the purchase of the property used. (See also chapter
RCW and WAC
Use tax.) If the seller fails to collect the appropriate retail sales tax, the purchaser is required to pay the retail sales tax (commonly referred to as "deferred sales tax") or the use tax directly to the department unless the purchase and/or use is exempt from the retail sales and/or use tax. A qualifying person using eligible machinery and equipment in Washington in a qualifying manner is exempt from the use tax. If an item of machinery and equipment that was eligible for use tax or sales tax exemption fails to overcome the majority use threshold or is totally put to use in a nonqualifying manner, use tax is due on the fair market value at the time the item was put to nonqualifying use. See subsection (9) of this section for an explanation of the majority use threshold.
Who may take the exemption.
The exemption may be taken by a manufacturer or processor for hire who manufactures articles, substances, or commodities for sale as tangible personal property, and who, for the item in question, meets the used directly test and overcomes the majority use threshold. (See subsection (8) of this section for a discussion of the "used directly" criteria and see subsection (9) of this section for an explanation of the majority use threshold.) However, for research and development operations, there is no requirement that the operation produce tangible personal property for sale. A processor for hire who does not sell tangible personal property is eligible for the exemption if the processor for hire manufactures articles, substances, or commodities that will be sold by the manufacturer. For example, a person who is a processor for hire but who is manufacturing with regard to tangible personal property that will be used by the manufacturer, rather than sold by the manufacturer, is not eligible. See WAC
and RCW
for more information. Persons who engage in testing for manufacturers or processors for hire are eligible for the exemption. To be eligible for the exemption, the taxpayer need not be a manufacturer or processor for hire in the state of Washington, but must meet the Washington definition of manufacturer.
What is eligible for the exemption.
Machinery and equipment used directly in a qualifying operation by a qualifying person is eligible for the exemption, subject to overcoming the majority use threshold.
There are three classes of eligible machinery and equipment: Industrial fixtures, devices, and support facilities. Also eligible is tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component of the machinery and equipment, including repair parts and replacement parts. "Machinery and equipment" also includes pollution control equipment installed and used in a qualifying operation to prevent air pollution, water pollution, or contamination that might otherwise result from the operation.
What is not eligible for the exemption.
In addition to items that are not eligible because they do not meet the used directly test or fail to overcome the majority use threshold, there are four categories of items that are statutorily excluded from eligibility. The following property is not eligible for the M&E exemption:
(a) Hand-powered tools. Screw drivers, hammers, clamps, tape measures, and wrenches are examples of hand-powered tools. Electric powered, including cordless tools, are not hand-powered tools, nor are calipers, plugs used in measuring, or calculators.
(b) Property with a useful life of less than one year. All eligible machinery and equipment must satisfy the useful life criteria, including repair parts and replacement parts. For example, items such as blades and bits are generally not eligible for the exemption because, while they may become component parts of eligible machinery and equipment, they generally have a useful life of less than one year. Blades generally having a useful life of one year or more, such as certain sawmill blades, are eligible. See subsection (7) of this section for thresholds to determine useful life.
(c) Buildings, other than machinery and equipment that is permanently affixed to or becomes a physical part of a building. Buildings provide work space for people or shelter machinery and equipment or tangible personal property. The building itself is not eligible, however some of its components might be eligible for the exemption. The industrial fixtures and support facilities that become affixed to or part of the building might be eligible. The subsequent real property status of industrial fixtures and support facilities does not affect eligibility for the exemption.
(d) Building fixtures that are not integral to the manufacturing operation, testing operation, or research and development operation that are permanently affixed to and become a physical part of a building, such as utility systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, communications, plumbing, or electrical. Examples of nonqualifying fixtures are: Fire sprinklers, building electrical systems, or washroom fixtures. Fixtures that are integral to the manufacturing operation might be eligible, depending on whether the item meets the other requirements for eligibility, such as the used directly test.
The "useful life" threshold.
5 has a per se exception for "property with a useful life of less than one year." Property that meets this description is not eligible for the M&E exemption. The useful life threshold identifies items that do not qualify for the exemption, such as supplies, consumables, and other classes of items that are not expected or intended to last a year or more. For example, tangible personal property that is acquired for a one-time use and is discarded upon use, such as a mold or a form, has a useful life of less than one year and is not eligible. If it is clear from taxpayer records or practice that an item is used for at least one year, the item is eligible, regardless of the answers to the four threshold questions. A taxpayer may work directly with the department to establish recordkeeping methods that are tailored to the specific circumstances of the taxpayer. The following steps should be used in making a determination whether an item meets the "useful life" threshold. The series of questions progress from simple documentation to complex documentation. In order to substantiate qualification under any step, a taxpayer must maintain adequate records or be able to establish by demonstrating through practice or routine that the threshold is overcome. Catastrophic loss, damage, or destruction of an item does not affect eligibility of machinery and equipment that otherwise qualifies. Assuming the machinery and equipment meets all of the other M&E requirements and does not have a single one-time use or is not discarded during the first year, useful life can be determined by answering the following questions for an individual piece of machinery and equipment:
(a) Is the machinery and equipment capitalized for either federal tax purposes or accounting purposes?
- If the answer is "yes," it qualifies for the exemption.
- If the answer is "no,"
(b) Is the machinery and equipment warranted by the manufacturer to last at least one year?
- If the answer is "yes," it qualifies for the exemption.
- If the answer is "no,"
(c) Is the machinery and equipment normally replaced at intervals of one year or more, as established by industry or business practice? (This is commonly based on the actual experience of the person claiming the exemption.)
- If the answer is "yes," it qualifies for the exemption.
- If the answer is "no,"
(d) Is the machinery and equipment expected at the time of purchase to last at least one year, as established by industry or business practice? (This is commonly based on the actual experience of the person claiming the exemption.)
- If the answer is "yes," it qualifies for the exemption.
- If the answer is "no," it does not qualify for the exemption.
(8) The "used directly" criteria. Items that are not used directly in a qualifying operation are not eligible for the exemption. The statute provides eight descriptions of the phrase "used directly." The manner in which a person uses an item of machinery and equipment must match one of these descriptions. If M&E is not "used directly" it is not eligible for the exemption. Examples of items that are not used directly in a qualifying operation are cafeteria furniture, safety equipment not part of qualifying M&E, packaging materials, shipping materials, or administrative equipment. Machinery and equipment is "used directly" in a manufacturing operation, testing operation, or research and development operation, if the machinery and equipment meets any one of the following criteria:
(a) Acts upon or interacts with an item of tangible personal property. Examples of this are drill presses, concrete mixers (agitators), ready-mix concrete trucks, hot steel rolling machines, rock crushers, and band saws. Also included is machinery and equipment used to repair, maintain, or install tangible personal property. Computers qualify under this criteria if:
(i) They direct or control machinery or equipment that acts upon or interacts with tangible personal property; or
(ii) If they act upon or interact with an item of tangible personal property.
(b) Conveys, transports, handles, or temporarily stores an item of tangible personal property at the manufacturing site or the testing site. Examples of this are wheelbarrows, handcarts, storage racks, forklifts, tanks, vats, robotic arms, piping, and concrete storage pads. Floor space in buildings does not qualify under this criteria. Not eligible under this criteria are items that are used to ship the product or in which the product is packaged, as well as materials used to brace or support an item during transport.
(c) Controls, guides, measures, verifies, aligns, regulates, or tests tangible personal property at the site or away from the site. Examples of "away from the site" are road testing of trucks, air testing of planes, or water testing of boats, with the machinery and equipment used off site in the testing eligible under this criteria. Machinery and equipment used to take readings or measurements is eligible under this criteria.
(d) Provides physical support for or access to tangible personal property. Examples of this are catwalks adjacent to production equipment, scaffolding around tanks, braces under vats, and ladders near controls. Machinery and equipment used for access to the building or to provide a work space for people or a space for tangible personal property or machinery and equipment, such as stairways or doors, is not eligible under this criteria.
(e) Produces power for or lubricates machinery and equipment. A generator providing power to a sander is an example of machinery and equipment that produces power for machinery and equipment. An electrical generating plant that provides power for a building is not eligible under this criteria. Lubricating devices, such as hoses, oil guns, pumps, and meters, whether or not attached to machinery and equipment, are eligible under this criteria.
(f) Produces another item of tangible personal property for use in the manufacturing operation, testing operation, or research and development operation. Machinery and equipment that makes dies, jigs, or molds, and printers that produce camera-ready images are examples of this.
(g) Places tangible personal property in the container, package, or wrapping in which the tangible personal property is normally sold or transported.
(h) Is integral to research and development as defined in RCW
The majority use threshold.
(a) Machinery and equipment both used directly in a qualifying operation and used in a nonqualifying manner is eligible for the exemption only if the qualifying use satisfies the majority use requirement. Examples of situations in which an item of machinery and equipment is used for qualifying and nonqualifying purposes include: The use of machinery and equipment in manufacturing and repair activities, such as using a power saw to make cabinets in a shop versus using it to make cabinets at a customer location; the use of machinery and equipment in manufacturing and constructing activities, such as using a forklift to move finished sheet rock at the manufacturing site versus using it to unload sheet rock at a customer location; and the use of machinery and equipment in manufacturing and transportation activities, such as using a mixer truck to make concrete at a manufacturing site versus using it to deliver concrete to a customer. Majority use can be expressed as a percentage, with the minimum required amount of qualifying use being greater than fifty percent compared to overall use. To determine whether the majority use requirement has been satisfied, the person claiming the exemption must retain records documenting the measurement used to substantiate a claim for exemption or, if time, value, or volume is not the basis for measurement, be able to establish by demonstrating through practice or routine that the requirement is satisfied. Majority use is measured by looking at the use of an item during a calendar year using any of the following:
(i) Time. Time is measured using hours, days, or other unit of time, with qualifying use of the M&E the numerator, and total time used the denominator. Suitable records for time measurement include employee time sheets or equipment time use logs.
(ii) Value. Value means the value to the person, measured by revenue if the qualifying and nonqualifying uses both produce revenue. Value is measured using gross revenue, with revenue from qualifying use of the M&E the numerator, and total revenue from use of the M&E the denominator. If there is no revenue associated with the use of the M&E, such as in-house accounting use of a computer system, the value basis may not be used. Suitable records for value measurement include taxpayer sales journals, ledgers, account books, invoices, and other summary records.
(iii) Volume. Volume is measured using amount of product, with volume from qualifying use of the M&E the numerator and total volume from use of the M&E the denominator. Suitable records for volume measurement include production numbers, tonnage, and dimensions.
(iv) Other comparable measurement for comparison. The department may agree to allow a taxpayer to use another measure for comparison, provided that the method results in a comparison between qualifying and nonqualifying uses. For example, if work patterns or routines demonstrate typical behavior, the taxpayer can satisfy the majority use test using work site surveys as proof.
(b) Each piece of M&E does not require a separate record if the taxpayer can establish that it is reasonable to bundle M&E into classes. Classes may be created only from similar pieces of machinery and equipment and only if the uses of the pieces are the same. For example, forklifts of various sizes and models can be bundled together if the forklifts are doing the same work, as in moving wrapped product from the assembly line to a storage area. An example of when not to bundle classes of M&E for purposes of the majority use threshold is the use of a computer that controls a machine through numerical control versus use of a computer that creates a camera ready page for printing.
(c) Typically, whether the majority use threshold is met is decided on a case-by-case basis, looking at the specific manufacturing operation in which the item is being used. However, for purposes of applying the majority use threshold, the department may develop industry-wide standards. For instance, the aggregate industry uses concrete mixer trucks in a consistent manner across the industry. Based on a comparison of selling prices of the processed product picked up by the customer at the manufacturing site and delivery prices to a customer location, and taking into consideration the qualifying activity (interacting with tangible personal property) of the machinery and equipment compared to the nonqualifying activity (delivering the product) of the machinery and equipment, the department has determined that concrete trucks qualify under the majority use threshold. Only in those limited instances where it is apparent that the use of the concrete truck is atypical for the industry would the taxpayer be required to provide recordkeeping on the use of the truck in order to support the exemption.

Gas line to boat motor, spark plug found damaged in Holmen
Published On: Jul 01 2013 03:37:27 PM CDT
If you leave your boat outside, the Holmen Police Department wants you to be aware of a potentially dangerous incident that happened on July 1.
A man reported damage to his boat motor on Monday. Holmen police say the gas line to the boat motor and the spark plug were cut. The two lines were combined, so if the ignition was turned on, it would create a spark in the gas line and could potentially cause an explosion, Holmen police explained.
If you leave your boat outside, Holmen police say you should check your property regularly in order to avoid serious injury.

ing unit enumerations, as well as erroneous geographic coding of some GQs (for example, college dormitories that were assigned the geographic location of the university administrative headquarters). Additional geographic coding problems were identified by localities after release of the census counts. After August 2000, when the GQ enumeration was completed, addresses for GQs were added to the MAF, with a flag to indicate that an address was a GQ.
The GQ MAF for the 2006 ACS was constructed by merging an updated GQ inventory file, extracts from the final 2000 MAF, and a file of GQs that were closed on April 1, 2000, but may be open at other times of the year. The Census Bureau also obtained a file of federal prisons and detention centers from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and a file of military bases and vessels from the Department of Defense. In addition, the Census Bureau conducted Internet research to identify new state prisons and state prisons that had closed. On an ongoing basis, information on new GQs and updated address information for existing GQs is collected by CAUS and the current demographic surveys listing operations.
There has been no formal evaluation of the GQ MAF for the quality of the GQ addresses or for the completeness of the list of GQs. In 2009, there will be a validation of GQ addresses in preparation for the 2010 census. It is likely that the ACS GQ population based on the current GQ MAF will differ in some respects from the 2010 census GQ population.
The sampling for GQs is different from the sampling for housing units (see Hefter, 2005b). All GQ samples are selected in the main sampling phase in August preceding the data collection year. Two strata are created to sample GQs: the first stratum includes small GQs estimated to have 15 or fewer people as well as GQs listed as closed on Census Day, 2000; the second stratum includes larger GQs estimated to have more than 15 people.
For the small GQ stratum, a two-phase sample of GQs is selected, similar to how the housing unit sample is obtained. The first-phase sampling began in August 2005, when all small GQs were assigned to one of five 20 percent segments or subuniverses. One of these subuniverses is the 2006 first-stage sample, and the rest are assigned to 2007–2010. The 2006 subuniverse will not be eligible for sampling again until 2011. In August 2006, all small GQs that were new since the previous year were assigned equally to the five existing subuniverses, as will be done each August through 2009. In August 2010, the plan is to reassign the GQs in the 2006–2010 subuniverses to subuniverses for 2011–2015 and to assign new GQs likewise.
The second-phase sample of small GQs is designed to yield a 2.5 percent systematic sample of such GQs within each state, sorted by GQ type


text: Perez: We will work well together but my target is to beat Nico 15 December, 2013 Sergio Perez in good spirits ahead of the new season as a Force India driver It was a shock to the Formula 1 world when Sergio Perez was axed by McLaren at the end of his first season with the team, but on the upside, it did not take long for the Mexican to secure a deal with Force India, which sees him remain in F1. Speaking in the aftermath of his new deal Perez said, "I am very happy and very excited to join Force India. I want to prove myself in Formula 1, once again." "I managed to take the tension last year from big teams, and there is no reason why I cannot do the same here next year. So it's a big challenge ahead, but I am very motivated." The decision by McLaren to axe Perez was considered harsh by most people connected to the sport. Afterall the Mexican, popularly known as Checo, was not way off the pace of vastly experienced Jenson Button, and his replacement will be Kevin Magnussen, an unknown quantity in F1. Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg will be teammates in 2014 Asked if he felt he that has a point to prove going forward, Perez replied, "Yes. Yes I do. Last season was not the best season I had in Formula 1, obviously people know what I can do in the car. I probably came at the wrong time to McLaren, but this is life and things change so quickly, so let's see what the future holds for ourselves. All I can tell you is that I will be giving my 100 percent." From a regultions perspective it is all change for 2014 at the pinnacle of the sport. The smaller teams are seeing this as an opportunity rather than a hindrance. "[In 2014] we have a great opportunity as does everyone else on the grid to get it right as a team, as a driver. Next year a driver will have more influence on how things go, so it will be a big challenge for everyone," predicted Perez. The 'drop' from a top team like McLaren to Force India does not deter Perez who started his career with Sauber. Sergio Perez leads Jenson Button during the 2013 season "I see Force India is full of energy and I really look forward to work with the team and do great things. As soon as you join a team like this you feel the hunger, the passion for the sport that comes from Vijay [Mallya] through to everyone inside the team," explained the 23 year old. Hottest property of the 2013 season was Nico Hulkenberg who returns for a second stint to Force India after a year at Sauber "I think we will work good, we have to," said Perez when asked about his new teammate. "Especially in a new year, with new regulations it will be important to bring the team forward." He added, "My target is to beat Nico, so let's see what happens." Shortly after it was announced that McLaren were terminating his services, Perez's future looked bleak and a possible exit from F1 was on the cards. The Mexican had kind words for Paul di Resta whom he replaces in the team. The Scot now finds himself without a drive in F1 and his most likely destination is a return to DTM or a career in the USA. Sergio Perez with Vijay Mallya "It's a shame but this is Formula 1, it's such a difficult sport. One time you are in, one time you are out. I hope for [Di Resta] that he finds a good seat. If not in F1, somewhere else. I think he is a great driver, who has a great value and can do a great job for himself, also to a team where he goes. Rule changes for 2014 include drivers choosing a bespoke number which will last them throughout their career in Formula 1. Perez has his already planned, "I like to have number 11 because I always had this when I was a kid in karting. I don't know why but even when I was a kid I [identified] myself with that number." In closing he was asked to give his thoughts with regards to the big changes that are coming into force for the 2014 season. "Its going to be an interesting season with all the changes happening in Formula 1. Let's see how things go, becuase it will be very interesting for the drivers, the teams, the fans," concluded Checo. (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

Two Arrested With Marijuana at Bo Waterside
Two Sierra Leoneans were arrested last Friday with a huge consignment of marijuana at Bo Waterside, Liberia's main border with Sierra Leone in Grand Cape Mount County.
Immigration officers assigned at Bo Waterside told this paper that the under-aged Sierra Leoneans - Claudius Juanah, 15, and Joseph Juanah, 16, with two suit cases were apprehended on April 15.
Senior Collector of Customs Ephraim Miller said the drug (marijuana)was valued at more than L$10,000 by approximation. According to him, the Sierra Leonean packed the marijuana in two suit cases with a few clothes spread on top. Miller said the Sierra Leoneans were allegedly deceived by one Olatungie Jarrett, also a Sierra Leonean.
"Olatungie Jarrett took them from their residence at 50 Lumley Beach in Free Town under the pretense of traveling to Liberia for vacation," Miller explained.
Quoting the kids, Millers said Olatungie Jarrett, otherwise known as Ola, took his father's vehicle and headed to Liberia's border with the two suit-cases. Ola's father reportedly instructed Sierra Leonean Police at the border to impound his missing car and confiscate whenever they see in it.
He noted further that after the Sierra Leonean police impounded the vehicle, Ola pretended as if the kids were passengers and gave them the luggage to cross into Liberia to turn them over to one Mohammed Massaquoi, who was to receive them on the Liberian side of the border. The BIN Chief said in the process, Mohammed, the stranger father of the kids, was the arrested.
"The Sierra Leonean kids have been turned over to the Liberia National Police for investigation," he said. Meanwhile, Miller has stressed the need for increased logistical support to effectively and efficiently man the border at Bo-Waterside border.

If you have to travel thru or around the South Everett area, good luck. The I-5 freeway is moving fine in both directions but the major roadways including Everett Mall Way between the mall and SR 526 on the east and all along Everett Mall Way west to Evergreen Way are extremely busy. 19th Avenue SE from Eastmont to Silver Lake is also near a standstill as is 112th street between 19th Ave. SE and 7th Ave. SE. If you're still out Christmas shopping, bring plenty of patience and remember that 7-11 stores are open Christmas Day and Slurpees and beef jerky make gifts that people will talk about all year-long.

Sunshine and Blue Skies Help Brighten the Mood in West Michigan
The shoveling, plowing, cancelling, and even the Paying it Forward all continue into Thursday, following a major storm that dumped huge amounts of snow on West Michigan.
Here, you will find the full video collection of our coverage from this ongoing weather event.
FOX 17 received numerous videos, photographs, and stories from viewers who were all loving the sunshine that was so prevalent on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell asked residents to assist in clearing snow, especially around fire hydrants, while city crews do the heavy lifting of clearing streets. The fire department cleared the hydrants to the best of their abilities.
Kent County Road Commission plow trucks began to turn their attention to secondary and lesser routes by 1:00 p.m. Most secondary roads were expected to be cleared by Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, Kalamazoo officials said a snow emergency would continue in force throughout the day Wednesday as they expected more snow. The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety urged residents to "limit their driving to essential activities."
In Wednesday's early morning hours, the Kent County Sheriff's Department told drivers to stay off the roads. Overnight, emergency responders weren't able to assist stranded drivers, and responders weren't able to get to un-occupied vehicles.
In Calhoun County, many roads were impassable during what usually is the morning commute, and people were urged to stay home.
Blowing and drifting snow remained the biggest issue. Even as plows clear roads, it's always a possibility the snow is going to drift back. Keep in mind, plows concentrated on major routes and highways, and it may be as late as Thursday before secondary roads are cleared.
MDOT spokesman Nick Schirripa released a new statement regarding the road conditions, weather conditions, and more:
- "Good evening, all. Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plows have managed to get divided highways (e.g. I-94, US-131, I-196) down to wet pavement, and more rural roadways are mostly clear of snow and ice, as well.
With a favorable weather forecast for the next couple of days, plows will be focused on clearing bridge decks, rest areas and shoulders, as well as maintaining clear roadways for motorists.
Morning commutes likely will be slick, and travelers are encouraged to allow a bit more time for their trips.
As always, MDOT will continue diligently its work to keep state roadways as safe and passable as possible."
As far as school closings are concerned, it will vary by district, as it so frequently does. Click here for the latest. Make sure to call ahead to make sure your destination is open if you're going to try to head out later today.
There were dozens of flight cancellation's at Gerald R. Ford Airport, click here for up-to-the minute information.

Driftwood Jewelry Display {DailyBuzz Style 9×9}
I found a piece of driftwood last summer while I was on a weekend trip to the American river. We walked down a steep hill to get to the river, then walked along big rocks on an adventure upstream. Well, we didn't get too far on our adventure because let's be honest, I am a wimp. I am truly pathetic when it comes to any activity that involves possibly getting hurt. When a hill gets too steep, I'd rather sit and slide down than attempt to walk and possibly fall. Let's just say I don't quite live on the edge. But, the scary upstream walk was totally worth it once I found this awesome piece of driftwood. I grabbed it and some other smaller pieces of wood and knew I would find some use for it, even though it happened to be a whole year later.

John Terry still doesn't know if he will be offered a new Chelsea contract, the Daily Telegraph has reported.
The Chelsea captain's current deal expires at the end of the season and while fellow defenders Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta are in talks over fresh terms, talks have yet to begin with Terry.
Chelsea have a policy of not offering more than a one-year deal to outfield players over 30 and the 33-year-old Terry has been told there will be no exceptions.
The newspaper claims Terry could look elsewhere in search of a longer deal, particularly if it comes with a reduction in his £165,000 per week wage.
Cahill and Azpilicueta will be given new contracts to represent their increased standing at the club, with Cahill now Terry's regular partner in the centre of defence and Azpilicueta becoming Jose Mourinho's first-choice left-back, despite being naturally right-sided.
Mourinho is reported to have recommended Terry's contract be extended but backed the policy of only offering one-year deals to players in Terry's age range.
Terry's teammates Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard are in similar situations, although both signed the one-year contracts they were offered in 2013.
Barring a brief loan spell at Nottingham Forest, Terry has spent the entirety of his career at Stamford Bridge, winning three Premier League titles, a host of other domestic trophies, and the Champions League.

The average unit operating cost of oil and gas production in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico increased by about 45% during 2010-12 but, at less than $5/boe, still provided "highly attractive" oil netbacks, according to a study by Ziff Energy Group.
The cost increase resulted from a combination of operating-cost spending increases and, to a lesser extent, production declines, said the ninth edition of Ziff Energy's Gulf Of Mexico Deepwater Improving Field Performance.
The study evaluated 24 deepwater producing assets owned by six operators, which collectively account for 736,000 boe/d of deepwater gulf production and $887 million in operating expense.
It reported average operating costs of $3.37/boe in 2010, $4.97/boe in 2011, and $4.83/boe in 2012.
The study found "a surprisingly wide range of uptime performance," Ziff Energy said. "The value of the unplanned deferment ($1.7 billion) was 1.9 times the total [operating expenditure] ($0.9 billion) of the assets" in 2012, it said.
The study evaluated production deferments from planned losses, unplanned facility failures, unplanned well failures, unplanned reservoir and other problems, weather, midstream and market factors, and other external causes.
"Weather was a big factor in 2012," it said.

SANDOW Leadership
→Adam I. Sandow is chief executive officer and chairman of SANDOW, which he founded in 2003. Using his vast experience with public and private media companies, Sandow has built his privately held company through a series of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Its diverse group of brands allows SANDOW to strategically cross-pollinate and create unique businesses that help drive its aggressive ten year growth.
Prior to launching his namesake company, Sandow was a principal in Internet start-up and wedding media company The Knot (now called XO Group), which he joined after having sold his first publishing business in 1999. His entrepreneurial expertise and extensive knowledge of the media industry were instrumental in orchestrating The Knot's explosive growth and ultimate IPO in 2000.
A serial entrepreneur, Sandow started his first business while a freshman at the University of Miami.

By the age of 25, he had launched his first national consumer magazine, Honeymoon,which quickly became the best-selling travel magazine on newsstands nationwide.
Sandow is passionate about launching and developing new brands and businesses that defy traditional rules—from launching TestTube, the first beauty sampling subscription program, in 2006, to acquiring the worldwide rights to the iconic Fred Segal brand in 2012 and announcing plans to expand its presence around the world—from Tokyo to Vegas, to introducing LuxeBox™, the world's most exclusive home design resource, delivered to the doorsteps of affluent homebuyers. He has created a fast-growing, dynamic company with an entrepreneurial spirit that values innovation and great ideas.

Arrow :While Oliver tends to the Canary's wounds, he tries to get her to talk about where she came from but she refuses. However, after Oliver and the Canary are attacked at the Queen mansion by a trained killer from the League of Assassins, she confesses to how she's connected with the nefarious group. Meanwhile with Moira facing multiple counts of murder and conspiracy for her part in the destruction of The Glades, the Assistant District Attorney offers her a choice – plead guilty now and avoid the death penalty or take your chances in court. Thea begs her mother to fight for her life but Moira seems resolute about taking the offer. Meanwhile, Oliver is furious with Laurel for joining the prosecution's team on his mother's case.
Season 2, Episode 5
League of Assassins
Time : 8:00 PM
Date : 6-11-2013
Network : The CW
Arrow 2X5 : After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine. The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.

Review - Gran Hotel Don Juan
The Don Juan disasterSubmitted by: Anne Docherty in 29/06/05
- Age Group: 41 - 50
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
Hote Don Juan LLoret de Mar is simply the worst accommodation I have ever experienced. The room was a tiny sauna, no air conditioning, broken phone and tv that did not work. The largest hotel in the resort holds mainly 17 to 25 year old drunken louts, who entertain you by playing loud music and running up and down the corridors until 5 a.m. If this is not to your liking then perhaps a live sex show would be more to your taste, as this is a common occurence on the balconies. The reception staff were extremely unhelpful and the food was totally inedible. If you fancy going on a diet make a reservation at this hotel. I came home a few pounds lighter. The appearance of the food was enough to put me off eating altogether. And to top it all off you are right next door to a sky park. Who could ask for more?

VLC (VideoLAN) is a multi-platform multimedia player. VLC Player, also sometimes called VideoLAN Player, that is well known for being self contained in that it requires no external codecs, and will play nearly all video formats in the world today. It is an Open Source media player that is cross platform, supporting Microsoft Windows, Mac, Linux, and other operating systems. It can read DVDs, VCDs, MPEG, and DivX files and from a satellite card. It can also read a stream from a network sent by the VideoLAN Server or another source. The stream can be MPEG 2 TS in UDP or HTTP packets unicasted or multicasted on an IPv4 or IPv6 network.
VLC and VideoLan distinction: VideoLAN is a project that develops software for playing video and other media formats. It originally developed two programs for media streaming—VideoLAN Client (VLC) and VideoLAN Server (VLS). Most of the features of VLS have been incorporated into VLC, with the result renamed VLC media player. It started off as a project to create a video streaming server and playback client. Originally, there was a Video Lan Server and a Video Lan Client for each of the functions. But the cross platform media player gained popularity and soon the server was reduced to a component of the Media player.
VLC's basic features are similar to those of WMP. Playback rate can be increased or decreased, but, audio is disabled during altered rate of playback. Contrast, brightness, color saturation, etc., of the video can be changed easily. Adding effects to the movie, like blurring, cloning, etc., is an easy task since the menu is easily accessible. VLC packs a streaming server which allows streaming any video from any source, like a tuner card or DVD, over the network. A wizard that makes setting this up easier is a life saver. A stream capture client allows you to save any video streamed over a network, including the Net. An inbuilt video editor and transcoder allows saving part of a file in a format of your choice.
As of mid 2010 VLC still lacks support for 3G Mobile Phones Video. Windows Media Player lacks support for this format also.

Anyboby brew this yet? How is it?
Just brewed mine today! Goddamn toasting those oats smelled good.
Well it's about time; here's how it turned out (I partial mashed).
It's been in bottles for about 3 weeks and it's really turning to be a nice beer. When it was younger I snuck a few bottles and it had a pretty strong smoke character. That has since mellowed a bit. The main flavor I get is a quite roasty, dark malt character with just a hint of typical nutty brown ale flavor. It's quite full bodied and flavorful for a pretty low OG beer. Praise those oats!
It's nice drinking and hits the spot when I want something light but still has some depth to it. I've given a bunch away to non craft drinkers and they seem to like it, if that means anything to you. I think it would make a hobbit proud.
You can drink your fancy ales, you can drink them by the flagon! But the only brew for the brave and true, comes from the green dragon!
Now I want to make this!

Yesterday, I took a look at the Walmart maps being offered to shoppers for Black Friday by the Massachusetts store cited in our APB post today. Looking like every other Walmart floor plan that the retailer stamps into the landscape around the country, I got to thinking about how I'd want my "shopping map" to look like. If I were to be lured to the 4:00 a.m. low, low prices, obsequious to the will of the mega-retailers on that fateful day after Thanksgiving, this is how I would want to start my hunt for the ultimate door-busting bargains.
First, I'd want my car navigation system (let's go with a Garmin…I'm partial to their PNDs) equipped with the locations of every retailer and their hours of operation on BF (yes, Black Friday).
Next, I'd map out the route to each store allowing just enough time to scarf-up the best sale items at each.
However, this is predicated by having a map of each floor plan for each retailer loaded onto my Blackberry (sorry, I'm a business guy…don't do iPhone schtick). Perhaps we could get the good folks at uLocate to work on this for the Where application.
Next, the retailers would have to allow the floor plans to be tagged with the location of the best sale items. This might be similar to what the rather crude Walmart map provides, but please, we are a bit more sophisticated in our geospatial awareness these days, so let's have better precision, right? I'm thinking that there should be some RFID device for each item and a shopping cart that synch's via Bluetooth to my Blackberry to navigate around the store. Whenever the cart passes along the isle with the most sought-after gadgets, my Blackberry provides the alert and I'm directed appropriately.
Having snagged the item from the shelf, I'm then provided with a traffic map of the store floor, whisking my buggy to route around the bulging crowds to the nearest cash register with the fewest in line. This is micro-geography at its finest.
My items are scanned as I zoom past the counter, swipe my credit card, and I'm out the door…on to the next BF adventure.
I'm headed to the parking lot where I'm met with a swarm of hungry, sleep-deprived shoppers, goodness knows where I parked my car. But in the perfect geospatial world, I am directly by voice commands by my PND to the location of my space and my car is automatically unlocked as I approach with a cart-load of gifts, recognizing of course that my bio sensor-equipped vehicle knows my proximal location.
Safely inside, I rev the engine and I'm off to the next store, real-time traffic and weather guiding my every move. And because I've integrated my PND with geo-located Twitter feeds, I'm getting updates on new bargains in the vicinity. I'm re-routed as necessary…my Christmas shopping list consulted and advised.
In a perfect world…Have a great Thanksgiving.

Planning a trip in March to New York and then Asheville, South Carolina to visit friends with the boy. Luckily, we'll have places to crash in both destinations, but I have an obsession with cool or unique hotels, and I've come across these Brooklyn hotels, which look like awesome homes away from home.
The Wythe Hotel looks beautiful, full of special details from wallpaper to the bar trays. But New York Loft Hostel would be more my speed, wallet-wise, and I love the look of its gourmet kitchen and roof garden. Plus, the idea of a hostel reminds me of traveling in Italy in college, so I have a very romantic association with it. Both these spots seem to capture a slice of Brooklyn in an organic way, rather than being a generic transplant accommodation duplicated in any arbitrary town.
Any ideas of things to do in Brooklyn (or the greater New York area)? I don't have many plans yet!
ALSO: Check out Bonnie Tsang's pretty instagrams of Wythe.
