Anyone have a tissue? Or a treadmill instead? Exercising to boost the immune system!
Monday, December 20, 2010
It's that time of year again where it seems that everyone is getting sick. A recent study done by Appalachian State University found that on average patients are sick for 13 days during the winter months and 8 days during the fall season. However, the study also found that people who exercised or participated in physical activity were sick half of those days. The article discusses the potential positive impact of physical activity on the immune system. It was determined that people who exercised 5 times per week or "felt fit" boosted their immune system, and had better protection from getting sick than other individuals.
This idea of physical activity boosting the immune system is also supported by the British Journal of Sports Medicine. There has been evidence that moderate physical activity can increase the resistance of individuals to some diseases (in addition to the many other health benefits of exercise!) This includes moderate levels of exercise 3-5 days per week. Physical activity could include cardiovascular and/or strength and muscle training. However, the body's response to exercise depends on intensity and duration for each individual person. Therefore, in more extreme individuals, too much exercise or stress on the body could lead to adverse effects and increased risk of infections. This could be a problem for people who are training at a high intensity for multiple hours a day without rest or recovery.
In general though with most individuals, what it comes down to is the idea that moderate physical activity can be beneficial for your body's immune system and keeping you healthy. Physical activity has many physical, mental, and emotional benefits for the body. Additionally, it can help in preventing diseases as well as those pesky cold and flu bugs. As the weather gets colder, try not to lose your fitness routine and make a point to include physical activity in your day!

Take The Initiative
For those who plan to renovate an old building for seniors, the first necessity is not money. There's no denying that you will need money–plenty of it–in the long run. But first you will very likely need to "mend-and-make-do" in order to pave the way for major grants.
An elementary school built in 1908 and abandoned in 1999 in the Wiles Hill neighborhood of Morgantown, W. Va., is not a pretty site to contemplate renovating, especially for an executive director of a small-town parks system, or its maintenance supervisor.
It's not that administrators do not like old buildings; it's that old buildings eat up capital budgets in the blink of an eye. They can become money pits. That's why school boards abandon them and leave neighborhoods (mostly low- to moderate-income neighborhoods) to deal with them. And that's why so many of these wonderful old buildings meet the fate of the wrecking ball.
The Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners (BOPARC) bought the abandoned elementary school in 2000, not for the building itself, but for the land, which was designated as the first park on the north side of town. But the old building was squarely on the property, so what was to be done with it?
Demolition was the first option. The abandoned building soon drew vandals like a moth to a flame. Black-ink handprints were left on hallway walls, the contents of filing cabinets were strewn about, and obscenities were scrawled on blackboards.
However, despite several ground-floor windows being broken, the overall physical damage was minimal. Regardless, neighbors became alarmed by the vandalism in their midst and felt threatened and vulnerable. So a cry went out: "Demolish the school; tear it down. Rid us of this nuisance."
The Old-Man Intervention
"Over my dead body you'll tear it down," said an old guy in the neighborhood. He'd been a first grader at Wiles Hill Elementary in the early 1940s, a coal miner's boy, a professor at the university, a member of the BOPARC board, and a handyman in the way that Great-Depression country boys became handymen. If something was broken, one scrounged up what was needed to fix it.
Nobody had the money to hire anyone anyway. But there were plenty of community folks who were willing to provide good advice and hands-on help to make-do.
The old guy lived less than a block from the school, and played cat-and-mouse with the vandals, neighborhood boys it turned out, who knew him and he them. He caught them one night on the roof of the school, four of them frozen in a flashlight beam. He called them down and sent them home scared to death, thinking he'd tell on them.
The man put a lock on the inside of the roof's trap door (common on schools in 1908) through which they'd gained entry (the broken windows had since been replaced.). Then the man went to work making the wonderful old building fit the image he carried in his mind and heart.
It did not take much for him to begin receiving offers of help from neighbors, the executive director of the parks system and the parks-maintenance supervisor (who, bringing him paint one day, said, "Here, go and work your magic.").

Eek! You reminded me that I should try to compile my list. It's hard when you don't have enough games and can't really say which is better over the other.

- Zachary The First said...
Well, do as many as you can. Don't pad a list just to get 25--that's just what we'll end up with. :)
Think we have our last sponsor (I hope!)

If you still need another sponsor HinterWelt can throw in a Roma True20 or a bunch of SA! books. Let me know and we can work it out.

So, how many entries have you got so far?
I saw one person published his list on his blog. It was already fascinating seeing the differences between his and mine, as well as where we agreed.
This is going to be fun and I hope you get a truckload of entries!

@Bill: I just got one more this morning, and I'll probably hold to 3. I appreciate the offer, but I don't want to wear out my welcome! :)
@CD: I know, it's been a pretty good turnout thus far. We're pushing 30 as of my last check, and I wanted at least 50. I think we'll get there and then some. Please, feel free to spread the word!

Xecuter 360 Blaster CK3 Description
The Xecuter 360 Blaster CK3 is the latest revision from Team Xecuter and replaced the previous model the Blaster 360 NE, they have now added Lite-On v1 & v2 support and the kit has a probe to use on Lite-On v1 drives to obtain the key without any soldering. The Blaster CK3 comes with a Hitachi PCB Fix is an external switching device when, once fitted, allows you to flash your DVD Firmware without ever having to open up your Xbox 360 case ever again. In the era of constant firmware updates with over 40+ so far, the Xecuter 360 Blaster CK3 is an absolutely essential tool saving both time and effort, by making the firmware update process a walk in the park.
Another incredibly cool function is being able to dump your game backups to your PC using Xecuter 360 Blaster CK3, this is now a fast and simple process, as most of you know a Kreon drive can cost nearly as much as the Blaster CK3 alone, so buying a blaster is a great way to keep your drives firmware up to date, and if you want to make backups of your original games this can be done with the drive in your console rather than having to get a Kreon drive as well. A perfect ergonomic design for the 360 Blaster CK3 means there is no soldering and no cutting of the external case - just plug her in and off you go. You only ever have to open up your case once! No longer will you have to have your console in pieces all the time, and no longer will you have to take the console apart every time you need to update new features and functions or essential bug fixes, no longer do you have to have your Console in bits every time you want to dump a game backup to your PC. The 360 Blaster CK3 is an essential tool for those who wish to go down the firmware path rather than chipping.

The second important area of treaty law applicable to the expansion of the NQS is international trade law. The United States is party to many international trade agreements at the multilateral, regional, and bilateral levels. For purposes of this memorandum, the Consultant has focused on agreements within the WTO, namely the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement), and the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). Unlike the revised IHR, the United States has had obligations under these WTO agreements since 1995 and thus already has systems in place that operate U.S. trade policy in conformity with the nation's rights and duties under international trade law.
GATT and the SPS Agreement apply to governmental measures that affect international trade in goods; and thus the scope of these agreements' application is narrower than the revised IHR, which have rules applying to goods, conveyances, containers, and travelers. The impact of GATT and the SPS Agreement on the expanded NQS is, as a result, more limited because these trade agreements have no relevance for public health measures taken to address disease threats presented by people and transportation technologies. Further, as explored below, the scope of the SPS Agreement is narrower than GATT in terms of trade in goods.
Both GATT and the SPS Agreement recognize each WTO member's sovereign right to take measures necessary for the protection of human, animal, and plant life or health (GATT, Article XX[b]; SPS Agreement, Preamble and Article 2.1). Both agreements apply, however, disciplines to the exercise of this sovereign right; and the three main categories into which these disciplines fall are explored below.
A particular threat to health may fall within the scope of both GATT and the SPS Agreement, but the SPS Agreement is the controlling treaty for "sanitary and phytosanitary measures" (SPS measures). For purposes of protecting human health, which is the objective of the expanded NQS, SPS measures fall within the SPS Agreement if a WTO member applies them to protect human life or health within its territory from risks arising from (1) additives, contaminants, toxins, or disease-causing organisms in foods, beverages, or feedstuffs; or (2) diseases carried by animals, plants or products thereof, or from the entry, establishment or spread of pests (Annex A, ¶1).

Accretive Health Sued for Loss of Electronic Patient Data
After a laptop containing several thousand hospital records was lost, Accretive Health has
been taken to court by the Minnesota Attorney General. In addition to being charged with violations of HIPAA regulations, Accretive Health is facing charges of consumer fraud and deceptive practices.
On January 19, the Minnesota Attorney General filed a civil lawsuit against the business associate,
Accretive Health, Inc., after one of their employees lost a laptop containing personal and health
details for up to 23,000 patients from the company's medical clients.
Accretive Health had been hired to undertake a "Quality and Total Cost of Care" service agreement for
two hospitals, managing their revenue cycle process in exchange for certain incentive payments.
During this time, the aforementioned laptop was stolen from a car owned by one of Accretive's
In the lawsuit, the Attorney General states that the business failed to implement the proper
encryption measures when it came to securing the information on the stolen laptop. It is also alleged
that the company failed to notify patients about its role in the hospitals' revenue cycle processes,
violating several consumer fraud and deceptive practices laws as well.
Accretive now faces a penalty of up to $25,000 per year as well as potential financial liability and loss
of reputation. This new case reinforces the risks that business associates face in the event of a data
breach, not to mention the severe scrutiny that they will be put under should this type of scenario occur.

All about the experimental band from Philadelphia
Prior to deciding on a concert, every band or artist has to identify its or his strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. So it proves to be very important to conduct a so-called SWOT Analysis. Strictly speaking a SWOT Analysis is able to reveal any glaring loopholes and problem areas that may affect the success of a concert.
What does a concert involve? This question is one of the most important ones within the plan of concert. A band has to estimate the size of the audience: The bigger to audience, the greater and more grandiose the stage show has to be. Furthermore it turns out to be very essential to think about the sound and light arrangements. Every band and artist needs a sound and light technician. He must have the possibility to change light and sound during the concert from his position. So it is very important that the control tables get placed inside the concert hall. In addition stage monitors, dynamic wireless microphones, di-boxes, front white lights, additional lights in different colors and lights from behind represent an absolutely MUST for every concert.
Not only great sounds, terrific light arrangements as well as a large stage prove to be essential, but also the stage decoration itself is one of the most important aspects within the organization of a concert. The stage must be able to present an outstanding stage show. So every band has to think about an impressive appearance at the beginning of the show. Moreover the background has to be decorated with modern curtains. The majority of female artists and bands decide to use very special and valuable fabrics. German artists generally use curtains which currently turns out to be very 'trendy' considering the decoration of the stage in a very modern way. In other words every stage requires a marvelous coulisse: For instance pleats can be added to windows within the scenery. Many bands turn the whole stage into a special surrounding like a street, a house, a factory, or something totally weird. Fact is that the stage decoration sets no limits on a band's or artist's creativity.

Blizzard's New MMORPG – More Of The Same, Or New And Improved?Posted by Stropp on February 16, 2009 The big Blizzard news of the last week was the transfer of Jeff Kaplan (Tigole) from the World of Warcraft team as lead designer to a lead role on the team developing Blizzard's new MMO, World of Unnamedcraft. Kaplan, as Tobold suggests, is the reason that World of Warcraft is such a raid centric game. He was a hardcore raider in Everquest and the inference is that Kaplan bought that influence into WoW. It leads into one of the rumors that Kaplan is moving on because Blizzard have recently softened WoW raiding, making it more casual. Maybe. But the truth is that any raiding in the original Everquest required a hardcore, achievement focused mindset. Tigole wouldn't have been alone in the WoW dev team. Blizzard would have sourced quite a few developers from the ranks of the veteran (pre-2002/03) massive gamer ranks. Anyway the conclusion is that this will lead to many of the same design principles being incorporated into Blizzard's new MMORPG, whatever it is going to be. Well, that's all great as a rumor, but it doesn't necessarily follow. There are a few factors that will determine if hardcore raiding will be a part of the game or not.
- Blizzard's new MMORPG might not be a hardcore game at all. It's entirely possible that Blizzard will aim for the other end of the casual market. There are more than a few Asian MMORPG's that are doing extremely well indeed. One or two of them have more subscribers that World of Warcraft. Could Blizzard be aiming at that market?
- Blizzard's next MMORPG might be a hardcore game after all, but it might not be PvE focused. A solid PvP or RvR experience, perhaps like Warhammer Online, would not really need hardcore raiding.
- Raiding might not be appropriate to the setting. Blizzard might attempt to try something really different in their next MMO. It's been suggested they might attempt an Eve/Elite style game. Would that sort of game be suitable for Hardcore raiding.

Glee Review: La Cuenta, Por Favor!!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Hey, Emma, do you have a pamphlet titled So, Your Show is a Complete and Utter Mess?
Go ahead and call me a hater, Gleeks, but come on. Can we just take a long, honest look at "The Spanish Teacher" please?
Let's start with this: WILL HAS BEEN A SPANISH TEACHER WHO DOES NOT KNOW SPANISH. At all. One bit. As in, he doesn't know the Spanish word for "ears."
Why should we take anything seriously on a show that doesn't take itself seriously? It's been a running joke among critics for years now that Will is the world's worst Spanish teacher, but that was it. It was just a joke.
By acknowledging it here, the show is pretty much slapping its loyal fans in the face. It's admitting that it cares not at all about continuity or logic or living in any kind of real world. Which would maybe be fine... if it didn't then turn around and want to pass along societal messages about bullying or dreaming or, in the random case of Santana this week, respecting other cultures.
I mean, did she really go on a rant about Will stereotyping her Latino heritage? Did Glee - a series that features a gay student who talks about getting his period; a dumb football quarterback; a butch gym teacher; blonde cheerleaders; and jocks who throw nerds into lockers - really try to preach about stereotyping? No, right? I must have misheard Santana's speech.
From storylines that came out of nowhere (I can't even get started on Sue having a baby), we arrive at a romantic entanglement that, for Glee, I suppose has actually been a few weeks in the making. There are just a couple of problems with the Mercedes/Sam/Shane love triangle, most notably: ONE OF THE POINTS ISN'T EVEN ON THE SHOW.
Can anyone out there say they're invested in who Mercedes chooses? Or make any argument in favor of... either guy? As I've noted often in my reviews, we've seen her and Sam holding hands once and we've scarcely seen a second of her and Shane. Why is this even a difficult decision? Why would we think Mercedes has any attachment to Shane at all? Why would we not laugh out loud at Emma's suggestions that Mercedes and Sam not speak for a week... when they just spent MONTHS not speaking or being in each other's lives?
Far too often, Glee just expects its audience to feel something because a character gives a longing look or sings a sad song. There's no actual attempt to earn any emotion. It's just forced upon us.
The same can be said for Kurt chastising Finn for keeping his proposal a secret. We're supposed to be brothers, he tells his fellow New Direction, something he might as well have been saying to the writers. Yes, they are supposed to be brothers. Perhaps we could have seen them share a scene or two over the past dozen episodes in order to remind us of that and have us invested in their relationship.
Even when Glee does something right, it does something wrong. Emma's pamphlets have always served as a very funny background joke, they've always been reliable for a quick laugh. But even here the show couldn't resist upping the schmaltz to interminable levels, actually using a pamphlet to help Beiste teach her kids about cleaning their private parts, which in turn made Will realize just how lucky he is to have his fiancee.
Glee can't even do simple humor well anymore.
Can I find anything positive to say abut "The Spanish Teacher?" Ricky Martin does have a great smile. And the music, as always, was enjoyable. Nene Leakes is actually fitting in well to her role, too. You might even say she's the best thing about Glee these days.
But what does it say about Glee when that's the case?
What did everyone else think? Are you invested in Mercedes' love triangle? Do you mind that Will doesn't know Spanish? Should Sue have a baby? Am I way off base for complaining so often that there's no direction to any episode? Or do you agree that the writers truly seem to be making everything around the songs up about five minutes prior to shooting?

As much of a Gleek as I am, this episode left me with a sour taste. The main plotline is utterly illogical and impossible. How could Schue not have learned a word of Spanish over the past... however many years he's been teaching it? You cannot get a job teaching a subject you do not know. Maybe as a first year moving toward your credentials (but even -then- you'd have to have some background in the subject), but after years and years? Seriously? They stabbed Schue's character in the back in order to shoehorn in Ricky Martin. The music this week was also a letdown. Other than Sam and Mercedes' song exchange), I was left feeling flat. Santana turned in a fabulous performance, as usual, but the choice seemed odd for someone irritated by misuse of Latino culture. Schue was especially disappointing with his two ridiculous numbers, and I have now discovered a way to hate Sexy (And I Know It) even more than I already did.
It's a T V show! It's not responsible for doing the parents job to teach their kids. Especially if the parents want to pass down their cultural education. The show is fun, the music is great, but if it doesn't work for you there are lots of cops and crime shows you could watch instead.
This episode sucked for sure. Im mexican, and this was a mixup of cultures, that i can not believe a show could do, before you do this kind of things, you should backup the info you have by a investigation. Dont just throw songs with some parts in spanish, THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU KNOW LATIN CULTURE
I watch Glee just to spend a good enjoyable hour without thinking much. Basically for the music, but this episode lacks also in that department...Though I understand the Elvis' show, 'cause Will has no idea about Spanish culture at all, I did not enjoy La isla bonita, seriously??? A really true Spanish song there,ah!!!!oh please,give a break!
Its getting boring and irrelevant. I was a fan of the Sam and Mercedes saga till they started stretching to such an extent. Will not knowing Spanish! Where did that come from? Its going of on a tangent of another circle altogether. Get it together people. Glee Season 3 is turning out to be a serious mess!
I'm a GLEEK. But I don't want to be biased. The show's story lines and character development isn't that good anymore. But the music is still excellent. But I think the episode is wonderful. It's a MUSICAL DRAMEDY. They make things hilarious and funny. Just go with it people. And if you hate the show, don't bother wasting your time throwing some shits. You could do lot better. Constructive criticism is better than some fowl words.
I did a google search just to see if anyone else thought the show had gone so downhill. What a crap show it has become. Too bad.
I thought that was the most hilarious Glee episode ever !
I hope that Mercedes choose Shane, but then again, I don't care.
I don't care that Will doesn't know a word Spanish.
And I do NOT want Sue to have a baby. No.
i think this review is so true! i've been a gleek from the start but i just felt belittled and embarassed by the story lines and the characters (i mean Will is seriously a terrible character ie La cucaracha??? REALLLY???)

The GOP contender confirms some of Europe's dimmest views on U.S. politics.
Continental Europeans aren't yet glued to the U.S. presidential race the way they will be in the fall. They've plenty of their own issues to worry about right now. But even this early, poking out of what's otherwise a pile of standard wire reports, there's a theme in European media coverage: Rick Santorum is a bit odd. The Republican presidential candidate, to some, is apparently even a walking, talking incarnation of the gulf between American and European politics.
"Even in the United States--thank God--Santorum's chances are poor.""He's thrown contraception back into question and would protect America from 'the attacks of Satan,' but is he really conservative enough?" runs the first line of an article in French paper Libération, the hint of puzzled humor coming through loud and clear. Laure Mandeville at Le Figaro calls Santorum's anti-gay marriage stance "a fight conducted with quixotic ardor in an America where something like seven states have legalized gay marriage." German paper Die Zeit focuses on the bizarrely inconclusive primary season more broadly: "The Republicans are keeping it exciting, perhaps in self-destructive ways," opens their article.
Christian Wernicke's declares that "neither in Germany nor anywhere else in Western Europe would such an arch-Catholic fundamentalist have even a breath of a chance," but other Europeans make subtler lead-ins to primary coverage, and in discussion of American politics more generally. In an article on the recent U.S. political fight over contraception insurance coverage, a Die Welt article notes that "in less devout countries such a culture war wouldn't have close to this kind of political explosive power."

THANE: Even as factionalism threatens to mar the performance of the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance which holds sway in seven of 13 constituencies in Thane district, the Congress-NCP-Republican Party combine has done nothing to exploit the situation.
Although the latter could end up improving its score by one seat, it will be only be because the Congress and NCP are not contesting separately as they had in the previous election.
If groupismis rampant in the Sena after the death of strongman Anand Dighe, the Congress has its share of rebels too.
Thane district with its 55.11 lakh electorate has a diverse demographic, spread as it is over urban (Thane, Kalyan, Belapur, Ulhasnagar etc), semi-urban (Murbad, Vasai, Palghar etc) and tribal (Wada, Shahpur, Jawahar and Dahanu) areas.
Candidates from urban areas have promised better water supply, public transport, flyovers, dumping grounds, more schools and colleges, whereas the rural areas have asked for bifurcation of the huge district, better health services and improvement in the public distribution system.
The common feeling is that Thane, which has helped in decongesting Mumbai, has been given stepmotherly treatment as far as fund allocation is concerned.
The political holding in the district is fractured—the SS has five seats, the BJP and NCP have two each, the CPM and Congress one each, and two are held by independents—former TADA detenus Hitendra Thakur and Suresh (Pappu) Kalani.
In Thane city it will be Shinde vs Shinde. The Congress which had lost the elections in Thane city has fielded Manoj Shinde, a veteran Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) corporator.
He will take on Eknath Shinde of the Sena, leader of the house in the TMC. Veteran Sena leader Satish Pradhan was dropped at the eleventh hour, causing mixed reactions within the party.
In Belapur, it will be a close fight between Ganesh Naik of NCP and sitting Sena MLA Sitaram Bhoir. Naik, a former Shiv Sainik, rules the roost in the local civic body.
He has, however, his own share of problems with prominent Congress rebel Harbans Singh entering the fray.
In Kalyan, the saffron alliance has fielded Mayor Harischandra Patil, denying sitting MLA Jagannath Patil (BJP) the ticket.
This has created a crisis within the BJP. Congress candidate Alka Awlaskar is a senior corporator.
The Hindutva alliance is confident of victory in the constituency which has a long association with its ideology ever since the days of the Jan Sangh. The bickerings in the Congress may make its job easy.
Pappu Kalani who contested the Ulhasnagar seat as an independent in the last elections, is an official candidate of the RPI (Athavale), an ally of the Congress and NCP.
He faces a strong challenge from Kumar Ailani of the BJP. The local Congressmen are not amused with the choice of Kalani,who enjoys tremendous clout in the area.
He won the last polls from behind bars but is out on bail now. At Ambarnath, the NCP has fielded the Zilla Parishad president Kisan Kathore who will challenge sitting Sena MLA Sabir Sheikh.
Sudha Gaekwad, widow of Naresh Gaekwad, president of an RPI faction and Manoj Singh, an NCP rebel, will affect the prospects of Kathore.
In the powerloom township of Bhiwandi, sitting Congress MLA Rashid Momin has entered the fray as a rebel.
The contest is going to be interesting as Samajwadi Party state president Abu Azmi, a Rajya Sabha MP, is trying his luck here. The splitting of the minority vote may help Sena candidate Umesh Patil, observers feel.
At Vasai, Hitendra Thakur will face a serious challenge for the first time as the Sena has fielded Shramjeevi Sanghatna leader Vivek Pandit. The latter has taken on Thakur by organising various agitations against land grabbing.
At Palghar, the Sena has repeated Manisha Nimkar, causing one more rebellion, with local activist Vishnu Kadav contesting as a rebel. Kadav is likely to divide the Sena's vote thereby helping Congress candidate Rajendra Gavit.
At Dahanu, NCP candidate Krishna Ghoda may retain the seat and the vote is likely to be split between the Sena and the CPM.
Murbad will witness a three-corner contest between sitting NCP MLA Gotiram Pawar, BJP rebel and former MLA Digambar Vishe, and Rajaram Salvi, chief of Agri Sena and BJP's state vice-president.
The Kunbi vote decides who the MLA will be, and Vishe, who belongs to the community, may outpace Salvi here. Although not very popular, Pawar may emerge victorious.
Shahpur may also see an upset with sitting Sena MLA Daulat Daroda facing a challenge from his own party. Mahadu Barora is the NCP candidate.

OK, I started pumping last week to start storing milk and getting ready to introduce a bottle for baby girl.
So far i have pumped both breasts once every am, half an hour after a morning feed. i have been freezing the results.
My question is, how to I start pumping for the bottle AND storage? Do I pump once in the am for storage and add one at night to save for the next morning's bottle? How does this work?
Sorry I am just clueless about this and really want to build a good stash.
Pin me baby!

PIRs explained
What is a periodic inspection?
A Periodic Inspection is an inspection on the condition of an existing electrical installation, to identify (in order of priority) any deficiencies against the national safety standard for electrical installations.
A periodic inspection will identify current and potential deficiencies in your wiring system.
The inspection report will aim to prove the integrity and condition of installed circuits and to show up any problems with the electrical system that may currently or potentially be a problem for the safety of the property and its occupants.
I wish I had a pound for every time I've heard this line...
But I have lived here for 42 years and I have never had a problem with the electrics??
What do I need an rcd for??
The regulations are always changing it must be them Europeans messing around again!!
Well here are a few answers to the common questions.
Yes 42 years have flown by before you knew it but things have changed. England were then world champions of football, now we watch others fight out the championship of Europe, televisions (if you were lucky to have one, let alone 3 or 4 ) had a 12 foot flex on them and sockets were something you hid behind the folding dining table. Light fittings were mainly Bakelite why would anyone want a chrome chandelier in their front room it's not the Blackpool tower ballroom?
Rcd protection is not only designed to interrupt a circuit in the event of a fault potentially saving your life but it is also designed to reduce the risk of fire to your property. A choice of rcd or no rcd that surely is a question that answers itself?
The wiring regulations changing every 5 minutes, this is a common misconception the wiring regulations changed from the 15th to the 16th in the early 90's minor changes were made over the following years and then had a Major overhaul in 2004 but generally over time we are not talking about re-inventing the wheel. Some changes have had an impact in the way that for example circuits are arrange and protected, this is a natural progression electrical common sense times move on demands for equipment and appliances grow so the standards for installing circuits feeding such equipment also move forward. Some changes have removed the need for certain procedures to be carried out things that in times gone by were accepted as the way and that have been looked at and deemed now to be unnecessary. So in a word no the regulations have not been changing like the wind, it is with the introduction of part P and the more high profile advertising campaigns and articles in the papers and television programs that people are now sitting up and realizing that it's not just about going to the local d.i.y. shop and throwing in a bit of cable and saying "it didn't go bang" or "it's working so it must be alright" and it is more about safety and making sure things are correct after all the Part P official title is Electrical Safety.
The average house right up until the early eighties only had a single socket in each bedroom, only one light circuit to the property, 1 socket circuit and generally electrical outlets were very sparse. With modern houses this just simply would not be acceptable. Imagine the noise if half way through the last round of the unsaved computer game your kid's have been playing for the last 3 months the power goes off, just because dad has come home and put the toaster and kettle on, or Unthinkably Eastenders has just started and the fuse wire has just fell down the gap in the floorboards and its pitch black in the cupboard under the stairs!!. Modern electrical systems in house are designed with the future in mind and not just the present. Wiring is split into separate circuits and these circuits are not to full capacity. However this is not an ideal world, houses are not all new and shiny, electrical wiring is not all new cables and rcd protection that is where we come into the plan.
With regular inspection and testing of electrical wiring we can
· reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment is overloaded
· find any potential electrical shock risks and fire hazards in your electrical installation
· identify any defective DIY electrical work
· highlight any lack of earthing or bonding
Tests are also carried out on wiring and associated fixed electrical equipment to check that it is safe. A schedule of circuits will also be provided, which is invaluable for a property.
Why is a periodic inspection needed?
It is a fact that every electrical installation deteriorates with use and age and the older the property the more likely it is the electrical systems have been running over their ideal running capacity. The history of the property will in most cases not be fully known and many people over the years may have carried out d.i.y. disasters on your property (floor boards can hide a multitude of electrical sins).
It is also important for the person responsible for the maintenance of the installation to be sure that the safety of users is not put at risk, and that the installation continues to be in a safe and serviceable condition. This counts for householder's landlords and company management alike. Would you drive your car without periodically getting it checked out? The periodic inspection report can be looked on as an M.O.T. for your property.
When is a periodic inspection needed?
It is recommended that periodic inspection and testing is carried out at least every:
· 10 years for a domestic installation for new installations 5 years for existing
· 5 years for a commercial installation
These terms are maximum recommended times and are a guideline set out by the wiring regulations and approved codes of practice for electrical periodic inspection and testing.
Other instances when a periodic inspection should be carried out are:
· when a property is being prepared to be let (Landlords report)
· prior to selling a property or when buying a previously occupied property (possibly a mortgage report requested by a mortgage lender or bank)
Who should undertake a periodic inspection?
Periodic inspections should be carried out by a competent electrician who has the experience and knowledge to give an informed detailed and educated report into the past current and future requirements of the electrical installation. The competent person should be skilled in the field of inspection and testing and should have a city and guilds certificate in this area of work.
What happens during a periodic inspection?
The electrician will check the electrical installation against the requirements of BS7671 - Requirements for Electrical Installations ( IEE Wiring Regulations) which is the national safety standard for electrical installations.
The periodic inspection will take into account all relevant circumstances including the following factors:
· adequacy of earthing and bonding
· suitability of the switchgear and control gear e.g. consumer unit e.g. an old fuse box with a wooden back, cast iron switches, a haphazard mixture of such equipment is likely to need replacing
· Serviceability of equipment e.g. switches, socket-outlets and light fittings e.g. older round pin sockets, round light switches and braided flex hanging from ceiling roses to light fittings, black switches, sockets mounted in skirting boards may require replacing.
· type of wiring system and its condition e.g. cables coated in black- rubber, black-rubber was phased out in the 1960s or cables coated in lead or fabric are even older and may need replacing (modern cables use pvc insulation)
· provision of residual current devices for socket-outlets that may be used to plug in electrical equipment used outdoors
· presence of adequate identification and notices
· extent of any wear and tear, damage or other deterioration
· changes in use of the premises which have led to, or might lead to, deficiencies in the installation.
The electrician will provide a periodic inspection report (PIR) as part of the periodic inspection.
What is a periodic inspection report?
A periodic inspection report (PIR) is a formal method of recording the findings of the periodic inspection, on at least three pages for domestic installations and six pages for larger installations.
The main purpose of a PIR is to report on the safety condition of an existing installation. Box E on page 1 should describe the overall condition as either 'satisfactory', in which case no immediate remedial work is required, or 'unsatisfactory' which means remedial work is required to make the installation safe to use.
The following example is for a satisfactory installation:
Where a PIR describes the installation as 'unsatisfactory', the next thing to look at is Box F on page 2 `Observations and Recommendations for Actions to be Taken'.
The following example is for an 'unsatisfactory' electrical installation:
This is where any departures from BS 7671 are recorded, and a code to indicate the urgency of the action needed is given.
· Code 1 Requires urgent attention
· Code 2 Requires improvement
· Code 3 Requires further investigation
· Code 4 Does not comply with BS 7671
Code 1 indicates a dangerous, or potentially dangerous, condition that requires urgent attention to make the installation safe. Once the necessary remedial work has been completed, an appropriate certificate should be issued to confirm that the remedial work has been carried out in accordance with BS 7671.
The electrician will give a summary of the inspection in the report, which will give a clear indication of the condition of the electrical installation, taking into account all relevant circumstances.
What happens after a periodic Inspection?
If the report recommends improvements to the installation, ask for a fixed price quotation for the remedial work from at least three electrical contractors. The improvements do not necessarily have to be carried out by the electrician who provided the Periodic Inspection Report.

am i pregnant or is this test just wrong?

hi ive taken 2 equaline tests and there was a faint line on both my period is expected in 5 days. i had intercourse right before ovulation. are these tests accurate? or is this a malfunction?
|Sun, 03-25-2012 - 11:28am
not sure about those tests, but 'usually' a faint line is a positive.....so 'should b' a congrats!
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 7:11pm
Maybe test again using a FRER, last month I used a CB blue dye test and it came up with a faint positive then my period arrived that same day. This month I've been using pink dye IC's and they have been coming up with pink "evap lines" , I got AF today. So from my experience I will not trust any kind of test unless my period is late, or if I was to get a solid dark line I might be more convinced.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 8:18pm
i just too a frer and it came up negative am i testing to late or does that matter?
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 10:34pm
How many DPO are you? If you're testing before expected AF you should use first morning urine as it's more concentrated.
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 9:47am
Don't give up, maybe start looking for help?
|Tue, 03-27-2012 - 6:24pm
|Wed, 03-28-2012 - 3:22pm
if you read my next post....I apologized! I DID NOT KNOW you could get a defective HPT.....sheesh!
|Fri, 03-30-2012 - 5:54am
im back to let you guys know i havent gotten af yet. last year i never got af one month and maybe thats whats happening again. im afraid to take a test again bc of the negative. my bf and i have beeb having un protected sex. could i still get pregnant if im right around my period?

>>because the problem was that i was invited and couldn't refuse everything.
So yesterday back on track but still no ketosis like it was previous week.
Thats the problem if you can not control the menu.>>
You can refuse. I do it all the time at friends.
You can eat before hand so you're not so hungry.
You could bring some food to share.

wow could that possibly be? The servings of meat are very large... and the mayo, eggs (in the revolution rolls), whipping cream in coffee & the renee's dressing are very high fat and calories... I can't imagine that being a low calorie diet! Oh don't forget the butter!

Hot wings with salad for supper last night. This time I skipped the dressing on the salad. It has no carbs but I'm wondering if my slow metab can handle all the fat. Sticks are just barely hinting of pink this morning. By the time I leave for work they are usually medium pink but that is the darkest I can usually get them. I intend to go back to no breakfasts too. I'm not that hungry in the morning anyway and if it helps then great.

The color of the stick... it just really doesn't matter.
Why oh why are you giving all this power to what color your pee turns a stick?
And... you shouldn't do without breakfast!!!! It's the most important meal you eat every day... it's the meal that gets your metabolism going... and is the food that fuels your metabolism!
If you have a slow metabolism, not feeding it isn't going to help.
Not feeding your metabolism is simply not 1) going to help you heal your metabolism or 2) help you lose weight.

Nothing will heal my metabolism. I had radioactive iodine treatment on my thyroid and in effect, no longer have one. Whenever I go back to eating breakfast, I gain weight. Its always been that way. As for the sticks, I quit buying them. I had bright pink sticks for a month or more and not one ounce of weight lost. My fat is super stubborn even though I only want to get rid of 10 - 15 pounds.

I am on Day 8 of Induction. I was losing around a pound a day but on the 7th day, I was up 1 1/2 lbs. When I weighed this morning, the weight was the same. It is so easy to let yourself use anything for an excuse not to stay on this WOE, but I am staying with it. It is a great WOE, and I know it will work. I used to turn heads, but now I look in the mirror and want to gag! I plan stay with Low Carb/Atkins for good. Little by little . . . I'm going to look good again! I don't mean to stress the appearance only; I also worry about diabetes, heart health, etc. I know this is the answer to a better LIFE!
You can do it; it will help with your cravings. If it can help ME, it will help you. I couldn't believe how my hunger changed. For me, the carbs only made me crave more carbs, and I have no control over portions. YOU CAN DO THIS!

So up the fat a lot and down the protein and also watch out with onions because they also have carbs...
Just use the scale an look how much onions you use.

I've been on Atkins for a little over two weeks now, with about 20 lbs to lose. So far I've lost 5lbs, which I suspect to be waterweight. I weighed myself Sunday and was down another 3lbs, but, much to my dismay, today I'm back where I started. I have, however, lose 1 inch in my waist, and 3 inches in my hips/legs. I should also mention that I'm currently on birth control and Sunday was the last day of my period...And I know when I went on birth control initially I gained...
Is there anyway for me to remedy this? The only thing I could think of is to come off of birth control but that really isn't an option for me, especially not in the near future. Or should I just keep going and hope for the best?

Hi all! I re-started a week ago--down 5lbs. This induction period is hard, and it must be followed TO THE LETTER! Now is not the time for cheating, no ifs and or buts about it I had much success the first time around (almost 75lbs), and thou I gained less than 1/2 back, I hit that "THIS MUST STOP....TIME TO GET REALLY AND TAKE CHARGE!!!" It is not easy, but no one said it would be. It is such a help to read about others problems and that we can turn to each other for help!!

I have been on low carb before and maintained it for years. Now I've gained a few pounds and want to lose again. However, I've been on induction for about 3 weeks and don't see much movement on the scale. Can stress cause you not to lose weight?? I'm getting divorced, selling my home and own a business, plus I have a 14 yr old daughter that is in cheerleading, volleyball, etc, etc, etc!!!!!!!!!! I've heard it can....anyone???

Well this is my two week mark and I was down 5 pounds only to have gained back one. I have not noticed any distance in my clothes either. I am not eating anything that I am not suppose to so I am getting frustrated. I am staying on Induction until I am down at least 10 pounds.

Stalled but Determined
I hope this thread stays alive - it is full of really good questions and answers, tips and hints.
I'm finishing up my 3rd week with ANA and after losing 5 pounds the first week, i haven't lost anymore. I think becuase my cravings and hungers was so low after the first week (a very good thing) i started to eat less calories.
This week i'm trying something new. I'm still going to stay in the induction phase for now but i am really ramping up my calories and fat intake. I am also cutting out all aspertame, continuing to drink 64+ oz water, and now i am adding strength training to my existing exercise routine (40 min fast walking, 4 days a week). For me, i think the weight training is going to be key. Before starting my ANA i lost 55 pounds on a low-cal, low-fat and i think my metabolism just grinded to a halt. Now, with low-carb and high fat (yum) AND strength training, i'm hoping to stoke my internal furnace and get things moving again.
Although i have been rather discouraged for not losing these past 2 weeks i'm still very satisfied with the ANA and overall, i feel great.
Let's keep this thread going. How is everyone doing out there??

Hello, all. I am freshly started on Atkins induction, again. First time was about 6 years ago and I lost about 40lbs, kept it off until I got pregs with my second child. Then went on it again and got down to my ideal weight until getting pregs again with twins. Nearly got down to my ideal weight again when I got caught pregs again (surprise visitor!). Now babiest baby is 6 months old and I am at it again. I have been on induction for 2 weeks now, lost 8lbs first 10 days, but gained 2lbs these past 4 days.
average daily diet is like so:
2 cups coffee with heavy cream and no-carb sweetener
2 hard boiled eggs
3 cherry tomatoes
2 hard boiled eggs (again)
4 slices bacon
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 Atkins Advantage bar
1 salad with 1 cup lettuce, 1/4 cup chopped green pepper, 1/2 small avocado, 1 stick chopped celery, 4 slices cucumber, 1 tbspn mayonnaise with added black pepper and garlic powder
carb total, as I count them, using the tables provided in the carb counter on this site, are usually between 14 and 17 carbs per day. So.... what's my problem?
I considered that the atkins advantage bar may be to blame? but surely they would want the bars to complement the diet to sell more product or am i wrong assuming so?
Also, though I lost weight in the first 10 days, my ketone strips never showed me as being in ketosis, nor do they show that now... I am confused. I am being stricter this time around than I had been the previous 2 times I was on the diet, but I am getting not the same, quick results as before...
Any responses would be greatly appreciated. )

I've noticed that the Atkins bars slow or halt my weight loss. I've cut them out and on the second day of no bar, I lost a pound. I lost another pound the next.
Try cutting them out and see if it helps.

FABULOUS RESULTS despite very little weight loss (or at least I think so)
OK, so I did induction just as it is to be followed strictly, not even any fruit and no "legal" treats.
And I am down two pounds in two weeks. Sometimes, the stix showed ketosis, sometimes very little, and sometimes, none at all.
But here is the fabulous part--I am losing "fluffiness" and havent even been exercising enough to even count.
In fact, I have lost enough fluffyfatness that I am down a whole dress size from XL to L, and a whole shirt size, the same. And a denim skort size from 14 to 12. It is weird, I know. but I must be doing something right.
Also, I am combining Atkins with Dr Johnson's and Dr herring's kinds of IintermittantFasting or Alternate Fasting--500 calories one day and more ( a normal amount) the next--I dont keep a careful measure of calories on "UpDays" but it is all low-carb. Additionally, I am combining this with Dr Herring's approach of eating 5-6 hours per day--usually from 1 until 6. And even on my "down days" I am not even hungry. IN fact, I feel stuffed after a meal. (Do stomachs really shrink?)
Today is a DownDay--all I have had so far is coffee with some half and half in it and I am not hungry or weak or feeling deprived (a little deprAved maybe, but not deprIved) . In another half hour or so, I will put together a low carb meal--maybe a couple of boiled eggs and a small salad. Then have tuna and broccoli for dinner and be finished totally with my eating by about 6. I dont suffer evening craves and my only problem has been that I have to be really really faithful to taking my psyllium.
Havent measured, alas, so am not sure of exact inches lost, but wearing a smaller dress size sure feels good. I tend to carry a lot of weight around my midriff--have almost lost my waistline--think my measurements must have gotten to about 40-40-40 and I am pretty bosomy to start with, so being able to button a size L shirt is a real triumph for me and I am beginning to see the remnants of my waistline again. I am sure this will all get better as I begin to work out a bit and be more physically active. And tomorrow I am going to find a tape measure and see what is actually going on with my measurements.
If it is slow going, DONT GIVE UP! And dont worship your scale!! As many peeps here who are a lot wiser and experienced than I am have said, the scale is only a small part of the story and doesnt always reflect what is really going on inside our mysterious and sometimes goofy little bods.
I lost those same two pounds several times in the past two weeks but the "bouncing scale" didnt stop me from doing what I KNOW will eventually work.
I AM SHRINKING and that helps me know I have power over the scale!

And it is worth mentioning that many of us who lose a lot the first time on Atkins, dont always repeat that rapid success the next time around.
Additionally, keep in mind that if you are losing fat, you are probably gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than Fluffiness.
So dont give up--your initial weight loss sounds quite impressive, and you will be getting quite a bit of exercise keeping up with your (soon-to-be) 4 active little people leading you a merry chase. And dont forget, sometimes when we least expect it The Whoosh Fairie makes a visit and cheers us on our way!

Please forgive my wordiness today, but I have some thoughts about Eating Out. This has often been my downfall and developed into an actual aversion to eating anywhere but at home. So this time around (induction) I tried to think up a few tricks for myself--several of which have already been mentioned, but thought I'd also mention them again and put my own twist on them.
Two days after beginning induction, we had to eat dinner out at restaurants 3 nights in a row (birthday celebrations and a get-together with some cousins at a favorite "country restaurant" they like.) The first two nights, I looked up at the waitresses and said, "I cant have starches or sugars--I am a pre-diabetic." Boy, that was the magic phrase! They smilingly, brought me The Good STuff like steamed veggies minus the carrots, and containing only the steamed yellow crooked-neck squash and broccoli I did not have any of their marvelous potato rolls made on the place and available as a pre-dinner snack (all you want) while you wait for the meal although everyone else had them. Brought my own little Splenda packets for the unsweet iced tea which I had instead of my usual glass of Merlot.
Second night, pretty much the same thing. The night we went to the "country restaurant" (they have horrible starchy food--almost nothing Low-Carb) I brought my own stuff to put in the greens I got from their salad bar including my own dressing and some cheese and meat sticks and a few chopped veggies. Nobody even noticed and I came home full and satisfied and feeling good about myself. The others had pie--I had another glass of tea and was happy.
I have recently eaten lunch out three times with the young chap ( doing a lot of repairing and painting around here) at a place that he likes to go to (my treat--he works like a dog for us and we were shopping for materials at Lowe's) The cafe near Lowe's has wonderful reubens and similar sandwiches which I just love. But again, I had their simple green salad and brought my own additions and again, no one gave a damn what I added to the salad or my unsweet iced tea. (Even Chuck, sitting across the table from me ,was too busy with his own sandwich to care what I ate.)
When I know I have to eat out, I try to think ahead and plan what I can discretely bring with me to keep from screwing up all the hard work I have put into this program. Of course, my life is a lot simpler (and my food choices, easier) than people with jobs and demanding schedules which take them from home all day since we are both retired. Nonetheless, I once did Atkins while I was working and applied the same sneaky tricks which others use and which I have mentioned her
As others have said, you have to plan ahead and make an agreement with yourself IN ADVANCE about what you will do when offered (or urged) things not on your list. When I have had occasions where a hostess would be insulted, I'd have a bite, mess things around on my plate and ask for 2nd helpings of allowable stuff (and I have rarely encountered an actual meal where it was all carbs (except a kids' birthday party of cake and ice cream only.)
Following Atkins, especially induction, requires some creativity and deception. I am, at this point, NOT going to say, "well, I am on Atkins and I cant have that." Most people around here still believe the "oh, you are killing yourself " crap and I am simply not going to waste my time arguing with them or trying to justify myself. I dont have the patience or the time. I will gladly tell an outright lie like, "oh, dear, I'd love some of that, but I'm having a tummy problem and anything with sugar in it right now just makes me real sick--gives me a terrible stomach ache." Said apologetically and then they feel sorry for you and almost no one has the ill manners to argue. I have also been known to say, "I am allergic to starchy things--" People then assume I have Celiac Disease and leave me alone.
In other words, WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, LIE LIKE HELL!! And dont cast your pearls before swine who dont know a healthy WOE when they see it.
MY personal theory (and I'm sticking to it) is that the time to say the magic word (Atkins) is when you have reached goal and have a bunch of impressive stats to wave in front of them like lower BP, great lipid profile, and your doctor's admiration!

How the plan works
Ok....so I have been on Atkins for almost 4 weeks now and not lost anything - well maybe 2 lbs the first week....anyway, I feel like each week my menu gets better...more to the induction rules. The first 2 weeks I was taking about 6 nicotine lozenges a day...and I think that may have contributed to no loss. Anyway, i know the rules limit your daily veggie intake (3 cups salad, or 1 cup other veg)....What does this day look like in your opnion, I am not limiting my veggies only counting carbs....Do you this sample day is right on in order to lose???
Breakfast: 4oz cream cheese, 2 eggs, 1 splenda mixed and baked
maybe some black coffee
lunhc: can of green beans or spinach (entire can) with butter and a hamburger plain OR chicken breast (some form of meat) OR if I am eating out a chicken ceaser with no croutons
dinner: some form of meat with more veggies or a small salad
I usually also have 1 diet right zero daily and the rest is water. I basicly know to limit my cheese (3-4oz) and heavy cream (3oz) and splenda (3-4 packs) daily,....Im done measuring veggies though

Completing the Verification Process
Verification Requirements
Certain applicants may be selected for verification by the federal processor. If selected, the College is required to verify certain data elements reported on the FAFSA. Financial aid applications cannot be finalized until all requested documentation is supplied. A Verification Form must be completed by students who are selected for the verification process, the form is available on the Financial Aid Office Documents page.
Income Verification
IRS Data Retrieval Tool: The US Department of Education has recently enhanced the FAFSA filing process to allow you and your parents to retrieve tax data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Beginning February 1, 2013, the IRS Data Retrieval Tool will allow you and your parents to upload your filed 2012 federal tax return data directly to your FAFSA. We strongly encourage you to use this tool during the initial filing or when submitting corrections to your 2013-2014 FAFSA.
You and your parents are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool if you:
- Filed your 2012 federal tax return with the IRS.
- Have a valid social security number.
- Have a Federal Student Aid PIN (if you do not have a PIN, you will be given the option to apply for one)
You and your parents are not eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool if:
- Your marital status changed after December 31, 2012.
- You filed married filing separately.
- You filed an amended return.
- You filed a foreign tax return.
- You filed a tax return using a Tax ID Number (TIN).
- The home address on the FAFSA does not match the address on the tax return.
According to the IRS, this tool cannot be used until 1-2 weeks after electronically filing a tax return and 6-8 weeks after filing paper tax returns.
The Process
Families must actively choose to utilize the data retrieval tool. If they choose to do so, they will be transferred to the Internal Revenue Service web site. There, the FAFSA Central Processing System (CPS) will conduct a data match with the IRS. Applicants will need to authenticate their identity before any information is displayed. Tax data will be presented and the applicant will have the option to "Transfer" the tax information to the FAFSA. Transferred data will have a notation —"Transferred from the IRS"
Obtain a Tax Transcript from the IRS
If you and/or your parents are not eligible or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when updating your FAFSA and are selected for verification, the US Department of Education requires our office to collect a certified tax transcript processed by the IRS. If you and/or your parents are not eligible or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when updating your FAFSA, the US Department of Education requires our office to collect a certified tax transcript processed by the IRS. Please note that parents who are married but filing separately must submit 2 separate IRS transcripts. Transcripts are not required for those filing a foreign or Puerto Rican tax return.
Transcripts may be requested by phone, online, by mail, or in person at the IRS Office in Fitchburg or Worcester. Please make sure you request a Tax Transcript. Do not request a Tax Account Transcript or Record of Account because they cannot be used for financial aid verification purposes. Please be advised that our office cannot verify your financial aid award without a tax transcript.
To obtain a tax return transcript online please follow these steps:
- Go to www.irs.gov.
- Click Order a Tax Return or Account Transcript located under Tools
- Click Order a Transcript under Step 3.
- Enter your SSN, Date of Birth, Street Address, and Zip Code.
- Click Continue.
- Select Return Transcript for Tax Year (i.e., 2012).
- Click Continue.
To obtain a tax return transcript by phone please follow these steps:
- Call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946 (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.).
- Tax filers must follow prompts to enter their Social Security Number and the numbers of their street address. Generally, these will be the numbers of the street address that was listed on the latest tax return filed. However, if an address change has been completed through the U.S. Postal Service, the IRS may have the updated address on file.
- Select "Option 2″ to request an IRS Tax Return Transcript, and then enter "2011."
- If successfully validated, tax filers can expect to receive a paper IRS Tax Return Transcript at the address that was used in their telephone request within 5 to 10 days from the time the IRS receives the request.
- IRS Tax Return Transcripts requested by telephone cannot be sent directly to a third party by the IRS.
To obtain a tax return transcript by mail please follow these steps:
- Complete Form 4506-TEZ (Request for Transcript of Tax Return).
- Form 4506-T is available online.
- Mail or fax the completed IRS Form to the appropriate address (or fax number) provided on page 2 of Form 4506T-EZ.
- Your transcript(s) will be mailed within 5 to 10 days from the IRS.

I know this sounds like a young boys dream but i can assure its true. When I was 10 and my babysitter was 16 she would pick me up and drive me to her house until my parents got out of work. My babysitters parents were both also at work. She was a cheerleader and practice was her class of the day so would drive home in the outfit and change right when we got there.
It took me awhile but i found out if I quietly went on the kitchen porch i could see into her bedroom window. Due to the layout of the house when I saw her leave her bedroom I could get back into the kichen undetected. So I got used to seeing her silky bikini panties everyday. I would get disappointed when she would wear thongs as I am more attracted to full back panties.
One day I don't know why I said it but I blurted out, "I like the ones from yesterday better"
she said, "What ones?", I responded by stammering out, "your underwear."
With her response I obviously knew she had been teasing me on purpose by leaving the blinds open. She took me to her room handed me her silky bikini panties and said, "You mean these" I took them home and wore them to school the next day. And when I got to her house, I once again don't know what came over me, but I just ripped my pants down to show her I was wearing her panties. She led me to her room with a smile on her face, once there she removed her skirt and I was living my fantasy. She then put the skirt on me, and layed me down on her bed. She stradled me wearing her panties which was the single greatest moment in my life until she reached up my skirt. Her soft touch through my silky panties was overwhelming, it didnt' take long for me to finish.
The next day my parents picked me up from school claiming Laura was sick, same thing the next two days. Eventually she "moved away" I never saw her again but always have the memories.
I'm sad that you never saw her again. But great memory, and great story!

Thank you! :)
What a great story. Just adore wearing panties and lingerie that women have me wear. Had an experience when I was younger also and have been wearing panties ever since.
great story nread.sound fun
I love wearing panties too
I wear pantie when I can so exciting I get mine from people's houses I work in always used I wash them eventually when then scent as gone
omg i wish that happened to me
i am 13 and wear my sister (14) clothes all the time! i have been caught once and she now lets me wear whatever i want, whenever i want!
I was 9 when my babysitter asked if I would like to wear her panties and I said yes. they were yellow nylon full cuts with transparent front. I loved them and immediately got hard. I came downstairs and opened my pants to show her. From them on I would wear moms panties to jack off. I am 68 and am wearing 2 pair of nylon panties as I write this.
Panties are addictive as I never get tired of the feeling.
Cetainly is a dream I have relished over the years. Still wear my wifes every day, all soft silky bikini cut ones!
Fantastic story. I am still wearing thirty years after my first experience of being caught in panties
man LOVE the story. reminds me of similar experiences. LUCKY you
Wow that is just so hot

I so want to have an experince like that.

awsome story!! I first wore panties when I was 10 yo..I wore my cousina panties,,she was 12 yo..she loved to see me in her panties!!!
I am dumb struck on this story. You are 10 yrs old, she is sexteen. I thought the male hormones didn't kick in to 13rs or older. I can't picture you being able to make a rise statment at 10 yrs old. sorry can't believe it

I hope she does an enjoying every moment *smile*

Is it okay to dilute formula with milk?
My daughter is seven months old. She has been on solids for two months. She is still drinking formula. Can I dilute her formula with milk?Question:
Sue Gilbert
Sue Gilbert works as a consulting nutritionist. For many years she worked with Earth's Best Organic Baby Food, integrating nutrition and... Read more
Your daughter should stay on straight formula as her main source of nourishment until she is one year old. Until then her digestive system is not mature enough to handle the larger protein molecules of whole milk, or the solute load. It is fine to introduce dairy products as part of her diet in small amounts. For example, you can offer her a little yogurt, or a few sips of milk from a sippy cup. She can be offered some cottage cheese, or a little melted cheese on her vegetables.
The formula also contains important vitamins and minerals that she needs until she is on a wider variety of solid foods, in particular iron and vitamin C. The protein/fat/carbohydrate ratio is also better adapted to the needs of a baby than is whole milk. Therefore, I suggest that you continue with the formula as you gradually increase the amount and variety of solid foods that she is eating. Then, when she turns one, you can wean her from formula to milk.Answer:

Obesity in the United States of America is at such high levels that it has been declared an epidemic. With this in mind, it is easy to see why so many people are determined, even desperate, to lose weight.
For some, it is simply a matter of changing dietary patterns. For others, there is much harder work and exercise involved in meeting those weight loss goals.
If there is one pitfall that many people fall into, especially when it comes to making necessary dietary changes, it is overcoming the belief that one's weight loss goals are insurmountable.
This is a belief that is only true if you let it stay in your mind for too long. Anybody can lose the weight they need to lose so long as they understand the changes they need to make and commit to them.
There are ways to get the weight loss process jump started. As previously mentioned, dietary changes are often needed in order to make the weight loss happen.
If you want to jump-start your metabolism then, you will undoubtedly love the effect that super foods have on your body. Here are the top super foods that you can use to get your weight loss regime up and running.
Black Beans
Protein is an absolute must for any diet. However, there is a misconception among people who are starting out in their weight loss journey that protein needs to come from meat. The truth of the matter is that black beans are an incredible source for protein. In fact, one single cup of black beans can pack up to 15 milligrams of protein.
If there is one thing that can be a serious plague the weight loss process, it will be not feeling full. When you do not feel full, you are more likely to eat more in order to satisfy that feeling. The sad truth is that more often than not you are full. Oatmeal is a fantastic food that help you feel full throughout the day thanks to its high fiber content.
If you just insist on utilizing meat in order to up your protein intake then salmon is a fantastic source to turn to. Not only is salmon a much leaner meat, it is full of MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) a very healthy type of fat.
