The simple yet unique Ergonomic Adjustable Work Surface System has come of its own due to the ever growing concern with ergonomics and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD's) both at home and in the work place. The system's prime function is to reduce or totally eliminate lower back pain experienced by any person, regardless of stature, who is performing tasks in a standing position at any work bench, cash register, kitchen counter, kitchen sink, cooking surface, bathroom vanity, etc.
Recent concerns, findings and mandates from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) give evidence to the fact that this system will eventually find its way into an innumerable number of homes and work places. The following is quoted from OSHA's web site on their page that deals with ergonomics at http://www.osha-slc.gov/SLTC/ergonomics/:
"Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker. When there is a mismatch between the physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the worker, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) can result. Workers who must repeat the same motion throughout their workday, who must do their work in an awkward position, who must use a great deal of force to perform their jobs, who must repeatedly lift heavy objects or who face a combination of these risk factors are most likely to develop WMSDs."
"In 1996, U.S. workers experienced more than 647,000 lost workday WMSDs. WMSDs now account for 34 percent of all lost workday injuries and illnesses. These injuries cost business $15 to $20 billion in workers' compensation costs each year. Indirect costs may run as high as $45 to $60 billion. "
"Often WMSDs can be prevented by simple and inexpensive changes in the workplace. Adjusting the height of working surfaces, varying tasks for workers and encouraging short rest breaks can reduce risks. Reducing the size of items workers must lift or providing lifting equipment also may aid workers. Specially designed equipment, such as curved knives for poultry processors, may help. "
The Ergonomic Adjustable Work Surface System accomplishes the raising and lowering of a work surface by incorporating a wall or table mounted electric toggle switch which controls a hydraulic system that is built into the legs of the surface. For applications involving plumbing, gas or electricity, flexible and expandable connections are applied.
Work surfaces that are set against a wall are reinforced by a given number of wall tracks in order to stabilize the surface. Kitchen counters, sinks and bathroom vanities that are in use today are permanently bolted or screwed to the wall in a steadfast position. Vast applications are evident for this system insofar as it can be incorporated wherever a particular person stands while performing his or her duties. Here are just a few examples:

The New Hanover County Board of Education will meet Tuesday for a work session, and they'll be talking about familiar topics: school districts for Castle Hayne Elementary School and sheriff's deputies in elementary schools.
You can find
the full agenda here.
At May's full board meeting, a group of parents who will live in the still-under-construction Anchor's Bend neighborhood asked the board to redistrict their children out of the Castle Hayne Elementary district. For a little back story: Castle Hayne Elementary was newly built in
2008, and to fill it, the school board decided to zone students in several under-construction neighborhoods to attend that school. You can see all of those neighborhoods here. Those neighborhoods are in either the Ogden Elementary district (in light green) or the Blair Elementary district (in
dark purple).
The board will also talk more about keeping sheriff's deputies in elementary schools next year. In an April work session, board members decided to officially endorse Sheriff Ed McMahon's plan to share deputies among elementary schools next year. But that likely won't be included in next year's county budget, as crime reporter Brian Freskos told us earlier this month.
I'll be at the meeting and tweeting, and we'll have a full story online at StarNewsOnline.com.

The awesome credit suggestion
08-10-2011, 04:48 PM | Post: #41Strac.CRO
maybe it would be good if :
standard - vet - elite weapons FOR CREDITS would be:
ASSAULT (AEK and M16):
1. they all have the same ELITE damage
2. vet has extended mag from 30 to 35 bullets
3. elite = 35 bullets + red dot sight (not that red circle with dot) with slight ADS magnification, say if standard ADS is 1.1x then red dot sight would be 1.2x (not to make them sniper like)
4. black color for M16 (I hate "orange" M16)
similar to ENG and MED class
sniper weapon (all elite damage) difference would be in
1. vet = extra mag
2. elite = enhanced scope
P.S. I'm a buyer but I have a bad feeling killing with SAW people who have, say, MG3 (btw. that's 7.62 version of MG42 so it's stats should be like in PKM and M60)
all others weapons should be also offered for credits at some higher price

NARRAGANSETT—The Narragansett School Committee met with the town council on Monday evening, updating council members on projects and developments within the school system over the past several months. One program that the School Committee hoped to initiate was the acceptance of Jamestown high school students at Narragansett High School, a prospect which has recently stalled.
Superintendent of Schools Katherine Sipala brought the potential of an enrollment program at NHS for Jamestown students in June, highlighting the quality of education and athletics that the school system could offer them.
"Jamestown put together a high school review committee and did a comprehensive study of Narragansett High School," said Sipala in June. "During part of that process, our school committee went to Jamestown and met with their committee. Our sales pitch of what we have to offer versus North Kingstown very well received."
The Jamestown school department currently holds a one-way contract with North Kingstown High School, preventing Jamestown students from enrolling in any other high school program in the area. The contract, however, is only valid on an annual basis and must be renewed with North Kingstown at the end of every school year.
The Narragansett School Committee hoped to take advantage of this window for the upcoming school year to offer a choice of school enrollment to the parents of Jamestown students, but discussions between Jamestown, North Kingstown, and Narragansett have fizzled as of late.
"We tried really hard, even this fall when the Jamestown School Committee met with us again," said School Committee Chair Tammy McNeiece. "We gave our pleas, as we have for the last two years, but ultimately they didn't want to make a rush decision."
"People were up for re-election, so they didn't want to rock the boat in Jamestown," said Sipala.
Sipala, who had previously been superintendent of the Jamestown school system, feels that NHS is fully capable of sustaining the enrollment of Jamestown students and can offer them a high quality education, a point which had further disappointed the School Committee when Jamestown made the decision to hold off on coming to a final conclusion.
"We have a number of sports teams and such a high percentage of students competing actively, it is a huge advantage," said Sipala in June. "Our individuality and small class size are huge benefits. Our tests scores rank us among the top schools in the state, and we have an incredible music program."
Jamestown currently has to pay tuition for their children to attend North Kingstown High School because the island itself lacks a high school.
"We know that once we get some of the kids to come over, they would be satisfied with the product," said McNeiece. "It is a win-win, and would have been a good situation for Narragansett and Jamestown."

Quilting Tools: Curved Piecing Foot
During your time quilting, have you ever worked with a curved piecing foot? This special presser foot allows quilters to sew together curves without using any pins.
Like every tool on the market, the curved piecing foot takes a little getting used to, but many quilters find it to be an invaluable tool for quilting curves.
Photo via A Crafty Fox
The Curve Master Presser Foot was developed by Sandra Chandler, who wanted to sew a Drunkard's Path quilt more accurately and without any pins. Typically, stitching together a convex curve with a concave curve can create wrinkles or cause stretching along the bias, making the blocks line up unevenly. But with the curved piecing foot, quilters should be able to get a perfect 1/4" seam along curves without using pins.
I've read a few reviews on the curved piecing foot, including some glowing and less favorable reviews. When comparing your experience with that of others, it's important to make sure you follow the directions accurately in order to get the best results.
Some tips from the Curve Master Web site include:
- Sewing with a stiffer fabric on top
- Lifting the top layer of fabric as you sew
- Using bent-tip tweezers to grasp the top fabric when you near the end of the curved block
Amanda of A Crafty Fox reviewed the curved piecing foot, and she found it to be a real time saver when sewing curves. After two to three Drunkard's Path blocks, she says she started to get the hang of it, and was sewing perfect curves every time with no pins.
Many different shanks are available, so you can fit the presser foot to your specific machine.
Jodi also reviewed the curved piecing foot on her blog, Sew Fearless. She says, "I definitely goofed up a good several times and had to pull out the seam ripper. I also had to go very slowly at first, but I was a little faster by the end." After adjusting to sewing without pins, Jodi was able to finish her stunning Roads Quilt, seen above, pieced with several perfectly curved seams in each block.
If you are feeling brave, you may wish to try this method of pinless curves with a regular quarter-inch foot.
Kate of Kate Conklin Designs shares her tips, along with a video tutorial, for how she sews curves without pins or a curved piecing foot. She used this method to piece together the blocks of her Grand Designs Quilt, seen above. "It can take a little bit of practice to get this down pat (especially on such a tight curve needing a high degree of accuracy), but it's worth giving it a go because it could save you a lot of time," she says.
If you've given the curved piecing foot a try and it's just not working for you, try Angela's curved piecing tutorial. She relies on pins to sew accurate curves with edges that line up perfectly every time.
Ann Petersen, expert seamstress and instructor of the popular class Playing with Curves, says that, "a simple, gentle curve can be one of the easiest things you can sew." It is simply a matter of getting a hang of it. There's no right or wrong way to sew curves, and it's important to try a few methods and see what works for you!
Have you ever sewn inset circles in a quilt block? These reverse circles in a pieced block by Cheryl Arkison give a fun pop of patchwork to quilts and other pieced projects. Cheryl teaches many methods for sewing curves and circles in her class Inset & Appliqué Circles by Machine.
Have you used a curved piecing foot to help with your quilting? Would you recommend it to others?

Stay Toasty with the Waffle Knit Stitch
I bought the Curve Master foot on recommendation from a friend and it really works great. A couple years later I worked at Sew Expo in Washington for Clare Rowley who owns Creative Feet and she has three AMAZING different presser feet that are used for many, many applications, including machine sewing binding that is flawless (IMHO). One of the Creative Feet presser feet is used by the instructor of Stupendous Stitching here on Craftsy, but the most interesting part I learned about these two companies is Creative Feet had their foot "infringed" upon by the Curve Master folks because she had not sought out a patent for it. Both feet work great for curves, but I use my Creative Feet more because the same presser foot does so much more than just curves so I don't have to constantly be taking the foot on and off.
I would like to try this new Foot , please advise how to purchase and price.
Thank you Marilyn
can you please send information on where to buy this foot.
I saw the CurveMaster foot demonstrated at the Houston Quilt Festival. I love the Drunkard's Path pattern, so I bought the foot. I like it very much. It takes a little bit of practice to get the hang of it, but you can sew curves without pins. I am right now working on a Radiant Suns block (think Drunkard's Path on with four curved seams per block). It takes about 15 minutes to stitch.
I also found that my # 57 foot for my Bernina woks equally as well, once you get the hang of holding the fabric.
Wondering if Viking has one for the Designer 1…..will have to look this up for SURE!! never heard of it….sounds very practical with curves! Thanks
Will the foot work on any brand of sewing machine?
http://www.creativefeet.com has videos of how they work and info on purchasing
Does anyone know if this presser foot is available for a high shank machine?
is this available for Baby Lock machines?
I love the gray meandering quilt shown above. Where can I find the pattern?

Photo Credit: Make a Wish Foundation
When asked his biggest dream by the Make-a-Wish Foundation, 5-year-old Miles, who has leukemia, skipped the usual "meet a rock star" or "go to Disney."
Instead, he went big: He wants to be Batkid.
And today, the city of San Francisco, along with four hundred volunteers, is going to make it happen.
According to Make-a-Wish, Superhero Miles will rescue a damsel in distress, capture a villain, break for lunch (hey, superheroes have to eat, too), ride in a car chase, and end up at City Hall where San Francisco's Mayor and Chief of Police will thank him by presenting him with the key to the city!
Anyone in the San Francisco area is welcome to join in the fun, watching the flashmob that will warn Miles of the escaping villian or celebrating with the mayor at City Hall. Get the details at Make-a-Wish -- once you stop crying, that is.

There's a request from method to turn off the initial graphical isolinux
boot screen on the LiveCD. The reason is that this graphical boot screen
can mess up remote consoles, and there's no way to turn it off as it
pops up right away. Without it on, the machine should be installable
over a remote console by doing:

Random House Webster's College Dictionary
a syntactic construction containing a subject and predicate and forming part of a sentence or constituting a whole simple sentence.
Category: Grammar
a distinct article or provision in a contract, treaty, will, or other formal or legal written document.
Origin of clause:
1175–1225; ME claus(e) (< AF) < ML clausa, back formation from L clausula closing of something written, der. of claus(us), ptp. of claudere to close
Princeton's WordNet

a new clause added to the agreement
the part of sentence with a subject and a verb
***a relative clause
A group of two or more words which include a subject and any necessary predicate (the predicate also includes a verb, conjunction, or a preposition) to begin the clause; however, this clause is not considered a sentence for colloquial purposes.
A verb along with its subject and their modifiers. If a clause provides a complete thought on its own, then it is an independent (superordinate) clause; otherwise, it is (subordinate)dependent.
A separate part of a contract, a will or another legal document.
To amend (a bill of lading or similar document).
Webster Dictionary
a separate portion of a written paper, paragraph, or sentence; an article, stipulation, or proviso, in a legal document
a subordinate portion or a subdivision of a sentence containing a subject and its predicate
see Letters clause / close, under Letter
In grammar, a clause is the smallest grammatical unit that can express a complete proposition. A typical clause consists of a subject and a predicate, where the predicate is typically a verb phrase – a verb together with any objects and other modifiers. However the subject is sometimes not expressed; this is often the case in null-subject languages, if the subject is retrievable from context, but it also occurs in certain cases in other languages such as English. A simple sentence usually consists of a single finite clause with a finite verb that is independent. More complex sentences may contain multiple clauses. Main clauses are those that could stand as a sentence by themselves. Subordinate clauses are those that would be awkward or nonsensical if used alone.

Politico Follows Up With Mike Huckabee After Arkansas Business Story
by Lance Turner
Posted 5/7/2013 03:40 pm
Updated 2 years ago
Politico, following up on Arkansas Business reporter Kate Knable's interview (published Monday), with Mike Huckabee, finds the former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate still working out whether he'll return for another year of his eponymous radio show.
As Knable reported for this week's edition of Arkansas Business, Huckabee plans to decide this month whether he'll return for another year of "The Mike Huckabee Show," which is carried by Cumulus Media:
"Within the next month, I'll decide if I want to continue it or not. I know we will, but it's just such an incredibly intensive process that I really have to decide that I want to spend that kind of time…," he said.
"I've got to always weigh how much time I'm putting in it and what the return is. How long it will take to make it what I call hopefully disgustingly profitable. That's what one always hopes for in a deal like this."
Cumulus, you might have noticed, is already in tussle with its star political provocateur, Rush Limbaugh, who says he's considering taking his talents to another company. Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey has blamed the company's advertising losses on comments Limbaugh made in 2012 about Sandra Fluke, whom Limbaugh called "a slut."
One could argue that Huckabee, who many consider the likable Limbaugh alternative, is well positioned to benefit from a Cumulus-Limbaugh break-up, as shattering as could be for the company. At any rate, it's an interesting time for Huckabee to be making statements like this to Politico today:
"I anticipate going forward, but we're at a decision point in the contract and hopefully all parties will agree to the terms and we will keep growing the show as we have from 50 affiliates to 225 in just over a year."
We'll stay tuned.

Giofreddo Apartment Nice
Official Contact Details - GiofreddoPhone: 0033 (0)952782765
Modern 2 Bedroom Apartment ideally located to Discover Nice and Beyond
- Price from 70 GBP / Day
- Capacity up to 4 people
- 2 bedrooms & 1 bathroom
(click on a photo to view it)
Last updated: 10/09/2009
This is your property ?
This fully refurbished modern 2-bedroom apartment in central Nice is situated just a few steps away from Place Mass'na and Galeries Lafayette (the French Harvey Nichols!). It's a perfect apartment for shopaholics.
The apartment building has well maintained common parts and a key coded access. Once inside, there is a spacious hall leading off into the two bedrooms, one to the left and one to the right, then a small hallway leading to the bathroom and separate toilet and then to the open plan living area to the front of the building.
The open plan living area is furnished with two very large comfortable brown leather sofas, an LCD screen and DVD player with a selection of DVDs, wall radiators, fans for summer, two large lamps for soft lighting in the evenings, a glass topped table with chairs for four people, and shelving with a hi-fi unit.
Real wood varnished flooring, which is laid throughout the apartment, completes the modern and clean sleek look.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with oven, hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster and kettle. A Brita water filter is available for your use so you can remove any impurities from the tap water. Plenty of tableware and cooking utensils are provided.
The bathroom, lit by spotlights, is very spacious and easily hosts the bath, towel radiator, and large stylish glass sink with a wall mounted mirrored vanity unit. Above the bath is a rain shower with an additional shower attachment. Contained within a cupboard in the bathroom is a combined washing machine and tumble dryer.
No drawing straws in this apartment as both bedrooms are of a similar size and both have the same beds, bedside tables with two drawers and matching wardrobes and wall mounted full length mirrors.
The location could not be better. Situated on the second floor of a typical French listed building (no elevator) in the centre of Nice. On the ground floor, you'll find the local boulangerie with its freshly baked breads and pastries just right for breakfast. You're only 100 metres from the main shopping area with designer shops such as Chanel, Max Mara, and Louis Vuitton. Some very popular restaurants and bars are very close to this apartment
A 5 minute stroll to the Old Town and you'll find yourself wondering through the pedestrianised narrow streets soaking up the atmosphere of this historical area. Sit and watch the world go by on the Cours Saleya with its fabulous cafes and restaurants or stroll through the daily flower market. Soak up the sun on the beach or wander along the Promenade des Anglais. The local transport network is second to none. With the train station 15 minutes away and the bus station less than 5 minutes away, the whole of the French Riviera is easily accessible.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

December 22, 2014
LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas head football coach Charlie Weis announced Saturday that quarterback Turner Baty was leaving the KU program to return to his previous school, City College of San Francisco. Baty, a redshirt sophomore, did not see any game action during his one season at Kansas.
"With Jake Heaps and Michael Cummings both competing for time at the quarterback position, I have decided it would be in my best interest to go back to City College of San Francisco and get some game experience," said Baty. "I have not ruled out the idea of returning to Kansas after getting a season of play under my belt. I love it here. I love the university and my teammates and I want to thank everyone in the Jayhawk community for their support."
Baty arrived at Kansas in time for the 2012 season after suiting up at CCSF in 2011. He has three years remaining to play three.
"We would like to thank Turner for his participation in our program this year," said Weis. "We wish him well upon his return to junior college. After meeting today we agreed that a return to KU is a possibility."

Big Banks Show 'Worst Case' Strength: Financial Winners
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks of the nation's largest banks were strong on Tuesday, after Drexel Hamilton analyst David Hilder wrote in a note to clients that the nation's largest banks could easily cover their worst estimates of "reasonably possible losses" from mortgage putback demands and litigation.
Shares of Citigroup (C) rose over 2% to close at $49.37. Large banks showing gains of close to 2% included Morgan Stanley (MS), which closed at $26.27, and Goldman Sachs (GS), closing at $154.76.
The remaining members of the "big four" U.S. banking club, which also includes Citigroup, all saw shares rising 1%: Shares of Bank of America (BAC) closed at $14.25, while JPMorgan Chase (JPM) closed at $51.13 and Wells Fargo (WFC) closed at $41.39.
Based on the worst-case estimates of the big four, Hilder wrote that maximum possible pretax mortgage repurchase and litigation losses of $7.5 billion, would only amount to 21% of the company's estimated 2013 pretax earnings of $35.1 billion. Maximum losses of $6.8 billion to Bank of America would amount to 37% of 2013 pretax earnings, while maximum losses of $5.2 billion to Citigroup would amount to 23% of earnings.For Wells Fargo, maximum possible pretax mortgage repurchase and litigation losses of $3.3 billion would amount to just 10% of the company's estimated 2013 pretax earnings of $33.1 billion, according to Hilder. "We are reiterating our Buy ratings on the four largest U.S. banks," Hilder wrote. The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) was 0.5% to close at 62.50, with winners and losers roughly split. The broad indices all ended with gains. The market on Tuesday pulled back from early gains, but gained strength during the last hour of trading, after leading members of the House of Representatives showed no signs of "going wobbly" on President Obama's call for action against the government of Syria for its alleged use of chemical weapons. Following a meeting at the White House, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R., Ohio) said he would vote to authorize President Obama to order an attack forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar Assad. Boehner said "my colleagues should support this call for action."

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
2012 Chevrolet Equinox 2.4 1LT FWD
Product Review
About GHRI RatingsX
Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Track Performance: C+
Road Performance: B
Ease of Use: B
Comfort and Roominess: B
The Equinox is a great value, offering more than most crossovers in its price range. While its size makes it less fun to drive than some of the smaller models we tested, it makes up for it by being roomy and comfortable. And great government crash test ratings make it a reliable choice as well, even with some notable visibility issues.
Based upon Good Housekeeping Research Institute tests, the four-cylinder engine provided adequate performance and superb fuel economy. In our opinion, there isnt enough of a performance improvement to warrant the increased cost and reduced fuel economy for the six-cylinder option. (Note: The second generation of the Equinox, in production since 2010, has since been revamped for 2013 and the V6 version has been phased out on this version.)
Driving Experience
The Equinox feels confident and composed on the highway and impressively comfortable on bumpy roads. Driving performance was run-of-the-mill, performing nearly identically to the GMC Terrain tested. It had unremarkable acceleration and so-so handling, but good cornering and decent braking. The ride is quiet except at full throttle, like when you are going up a hill or accelerating to pass a car.
The car really shined in its fuel economy. The version we tested is only 2WD, and it had the second best fuel economy of those tested, with 26 mpg combined, and 32 mpg on the highway, something very few cars can achieve.
When it came to visibility, there is room for improvement. Thick B-pillars on the side and blind spots in the rear detract from full visibility. To compensate for this, the Chevy comes packed with features. For the model we tested, and those above that trim level, the vehicle comes standard with a rear vision camera built into the rear view mirror, roof rack side rails, and a 7 color touch screen.
Infotainment System & Controls
Setting up the phone on the infotainment system was among the easiest of any we tested. It was one of the few that was able to sync contacts from the phone without flaw. The system prompts were clear and voice recognition was impressively accurate. Regardless of the model, Bluetooth phone control comes standard. Of course, none of these systems is perfect, and we found the controls for music to be a bit jumbled in the center of the dashboard. The door unlock button is also awkwardly placed in between passenger and driver by the shifter. The controls located on the steering wheel are accessible, but not as clear as some of the others tested. It is also important to note that while we appreciated the standard telescoping wheel, at times the speedometer could be obstructed depending upon the placement of the wheel and your hands. Thankfully there is a digital readout in the center of the dashboard in case this happens.
Interior & Design
This car was notably spacious with ample cabin space. There is a large console in the front of the shifter great for tossing your phone or wallet into without worrying about it sliding. And we found the layout of other storage compartments throughout the car to be useful as well with ample space on the side doors for a drink and relatively spacious backseat pockets. If you need more room for cargo in the trunk, you can easily fold down the rear seats or slide your seat forward. And we found the optional rear power lift gate to be convenient for our tiny tester! And our 62 tester was happy as well, since it was one of the few cars in which he could actually sit comfortably in the middle rear seat. The car features a back seat with a flat floor and surprisingly adequate leg room, even when the seat was moved forward.Fuel Economy (city/highway/combined): 22/32/26

The final Simgirl game. 100% complete.
Great game, nice random events and some more expanded ideas from the last few betas.
Still a little sad you can't really do the childhood friend route, but still you can finally get Karin.
She's the one for me. Tomoko is a slut, and I seriously don't give a fuck about her. Kotomi is pretty good but also a little akward.
No in my view Karin is the true best happy ending. You should do that route and see for yourself.
But I also like Karin the most so.. yeah.. I like a little flatter more petite body. So that's why I hate Tomoko so much.
The guy is planning for another game. I sure do hope it's not gonna take 10 years to complete. But I can wait, or try the betas if they come out. Only thing I would like to see in a sequel is MOAR LOLIS!!!!!!!! MOAR!!!!! Because Karin was the only one with a smaller and flatter body.

Shear Elegance's stylists aim to please, whether tailoring formal updos for special occasions or cutting and coloring manes for quotidian elegance. The crew's services are backed by a guarantee, and they round out each service with a do-it-yourself lesson that equips clients with tips and techniques for re-creating their new look at home or on a jealous twin. Haircare specialists will even sometimes perform a complimentary shampoo and style for patrons who are having a bad day.
Unlike a caricature artist who needs a vacation, expert stylist Denise customizes her sessions to each client's unique face-shape and personality. She confers with her guests to craft voluminous layers or go grunge with a modern punk pixie cut. Men's barber cuts are also available with luxurious add-ons such as a hot towel treatment that promotes relaxation.
With more than 10 years of experience to her name, Melissa helms one side of her eponymous salon while her sister and co-owner, Susan, lends her skills as a seamstress to the in-store boutique. The siblings' signature blend of salon services and boutique luxuries sets them apart as a one-stop destination for those who like to mix their spa and retail therapies.
The sounds of clipping shears and contented sighs mingle on Melissa's side of the salon, where she wields top-notch salon products that range from CND nail polishes to the individualized ointments of the Bioelements facial line. During haircuts, color services, and treatments for the face and nails, Melissa restores beauty lost to age or gambled away during high-stakes poker games.
La Prestiges Salon and Spa combines s8alon and spa services under one roof to save clients from wasting gas driving all over town for their aesthetic and relaxation needs. A one-stop pampering shop, the salon and spa houses a staff of beauty professionals who reshape shaggy hairstyles or craft complete makeovers using Paul Mitchell products along with their very own comb and scissor savvy. The aestheticians can treat skin with pumpkin, chocolate, or vitamin-C facials and set skin aglow with spray tans. Nail technicians dazzle hands and feet with mani-pedis and tiny, breathtaking nail designs, whereas makeup artists enhance the natural beauty of facial features with skilled cosmetics application and optional helmet-mounted spotlights. Meanwhile, laser techs use laser light to remove unwanted hair from the face, arms, and legs.
At Bravo Beauty, her space inside Off Center Salon, Alicia Bravo specializes in creating smooth skin with dermal fillers. The board-certified nurse practitioner offers Botox, Xeomin, and Juvéderm XC injections. In addition, Alicia offers exfoliating chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments, NovaLash eyelash extensions, and Thermage wrinkle treatments. She also works with cosmetic lasers, using them to remove unwanted hair across the face and body or resurface skin.
Ear piercing may not be a typical salon service, but it's on the menu at Totally You Hair Studio. That's because the stylists here strive to accentuate their clients' faces with haircuts, highlights, updos, and, of course, shiny new earrings. To help them in this quest, they rely on high-quality products from Paul Mitchell, GKhair, and Original Sprout, which manufactures nontoxic products that can also be used to pamper the outside of your hazmat suit for once.

Angelina Jolie: 'Motherhood has been one of the great surprises of my life'
Hollywood actress and mother-of-six Angelina Jolie has said her enjoyment of motherhood has certainly come as a surprise to her…
Angelina Jolie, who is raising adoptive children Maddox, nine, Pax, six, Zahara, five and biological kids, Shiloh, five, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with her long-term partner Brad Pitt, has admitted that she never imagined having kids, with her maternal feelings only materialising when she started a relationship with the actor back in 2005.
In an interview with OK! magazine, the 36-year-old actress said: "It's been one of the great surprises of my life. When I was younger I never imagined being a mother and then those maternal feelings really evolved and deepened once I began adopting and started living with Brad, which made me want to have children of our own.
"I feel truly at ease when I know I've helped give them a safe and hopeful life. A big family can generate a lot of chaos, but it's also a source of inner peace – the best feeling in the world. I'm much less anxious about life and so much more light-hearted and carefree."
Angelina also revealed that she and Brad cope with the "chaos" of family life by effectively sharing childcare.
"Brad has always had a very close relationship with Mad and I tend to let him look after the boys and take care of discipline while I keep the girls in line!" she explained. "Sometimes they try to play one parent off against the other but Brad and I maintain a united front. It's the same rules whether it's mommy or daddy laying down the law."

Each Spectrum Resorts vacation rental is stocked with an amenity starter pack and bathroom supplies for your arrival. These supplies are generally enough to last for two to three nights.
If you intend on staying for a longer period of time, you will need to bring additional supplies.
Here are some suggestions for additional items you may want to bring from home to help make your stay more comfortable.
- Beach towels. While Spectrum Resorts provides the towels for the Clubhoue, you will need to provide your own beach towels for beach use. The towels supplied in your rental are not suitable for relaxing on the sand.
- If you plan on cooking during your stay, be sure to bring spices and seasoning. Also, a small cooler filled with your favorite condiments is a good idea.
- Beach toys.
- Sun block and aloe in case someone in your party spends a little too much time in the sun.
- Vinegar. This is a great remedy for jellyfish stings!

|Currently I pay approximately $2,000 a year for Natural gas. I use gas for my 14-year old, probably 80% efficient, furnace, gas dryer, water heater and stove. I got a ball park estimate of at least $30,000 for a geothermal system with a desuperheater. I would guess I might save $800 a year with a geothermal system, so even with the tax credit, I am looking at over 20 years for payback. Could this be right? I don't currently have air conditioning, so that would be an added plus. Am I missing something?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Without knowing much about your home or climate - it's hard tp say . It also
makes a difference if you must replace a system or not . For me - I was
building a new home that was 6k + sqf and my options were propane or
electric . I would have to put in a system no matter what and my monthly bills
would have been much higher because of my square footage . I spent 22k
for my system which included cooling . For me - I am getting my payback
immediately . Natural gas is about the cheapest heat you can get - so if you
are only paying 2k a year now - it really doesn't make financial sense to do
it . You already have the ductwork , so adding central air conditioning and
upgrading your insulation , windows , etc. would be a much better investment
IMHO . If you replaced your current system with a more efficent one would
probably save you the same 800.00 a year at a much lower cost . Geothermal
is not for everyone or every house . Sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't . Good Luck
|If your motivation for installing geothermal is purely financial and not environmental, perhaps you should look to other options, unless you have deep pockets and can take the really long view of things.
|Depth of drilling can be a big cost factor.
|Don't use just one ballpark estimate. Get 2 or 3 bids from HVAC contractors with GT experience. When you get those bids, have them give you a bid to replace the HVAC system with HE NG & Electric AC units (assuming you have AC) and an option for them to do GT instead. You should look at the delta cost from each contractor before you make a financial assessment. My delta cost from our HVAC contractor was 15,000 for a 12 ton GT system (3 GSHPs: 2x 3ton and 1x6 ton) not including the digging of the pit (but it did include all loops, pumps etc).
The break even point should not be as long as 20 years, but it could be if you have a difficult site. The cost of a GT heat pump vs. the cost of a gas heater/electric AC for the same BTU output is not a significant difference. But the cost of the ground loops, pumps, plumbing, excavating/wells for the GT system is a large difference - and that cost depends on your site location, soil type, and specific configuration. Unless you have an expert scope it out and give you comparitive bids both both types of systems, you can't do an accurate cost analysis.
My break even for the GT is between 7 and 10 years including the 2000 tax credit. It should not have been that long but I ran into a problem (giant boulders! - lots of them). I also hasd a difficult site to work with. The original plan was a break even in 3 to 5 years.
Even if you do go with a GT system and if you live in a very cold climate I would consider a 2 stage GT system with NG as the backup. My system has electric Aux heat and there is an issue when we loose power. I have a genny but not big enough to run the giant toasters in the Aux heat (I use wood burning fireplaces as a backup heat source instead). If you have NG as a backup, then a very small backup genny would allow you to run the system with the 2nd stage heater and fans.
Good luck.
Something is amiss here if I understand you correctly. First of all, let's make sure your meaning of delta cost is the difference between a non-geothermal system and a geothermal system of equal capacity. And that delta cost was only $15,000.00 for a 12 ton system.
If I understand you correctly, that's way low compared to any other cost comparisons that I have seen including my own! If you don't mind me asking, what price did you get for a conventional 12 ton system?
I do understand that it didn't include digging the trenches or drilling.

|The other consideration before going to GT is the expertise of the installers. If the system is not optimally designed and installed, it will not produce the projected savings. And, unfortunately, GT expertise is scarce, although it is improving.
|The price for 12 tons of HE LP gas heat plus electric AC was around 30,000. It was York equipment (3 heater units and 3 outside AC units) and this included everything except some some zoning on the second floor and quiet vent fans which I added later. The cost for the GT system - same BTU output - was 45 grand - Econar Geosource 2000 equipment, 3 GSHPs (2 - 3 ton and 1 - 6 ton).
The people who did the work have been doing GT for over 20 years and they did a great job. We had an initial issue with the 6 ton unit, but after that was rectified, the system has performed flawlessly for over 1.5 years.
The GT price did not include the cost to dig the horizontal pit (the excavation costs) but it did include all the pipes, pumps, plumbing etc. This is where I ran into the glitch. The initial cost for the pit was 2500. When it was done - 17 grand! The actual cost to dig the pit, move the mountain of dirt from point A to Point B and then Back Again was around 10 grand. The cost for 1 foot of stone dust at the base of the pit (to protect pipes from rocks) was around 3 grand and the cost to rent the track hoe to move the massive boulders was around 4 grand.
SO the total delta cost was around 32 grand for the GT system, 30 grand when I took the tax credit.
I have an 9100 sq ft house (5800 on 2 levels + 3300 sq ft basement that is conditioned but only partially finished). It costs under 4000 per year to heat & cool it. My peak electric bill in the dead of this past winter was $450 BUT over 100 of that is lights/steamshower/ etc. So my cost to heat this monster was 350 peak. LP would have been 2x that at the price per gallon this winter.
I plan on living in this house for 15 to 17 years. The GT will certainly pay for itself by then but I estimated about 10 years to breal even.
All I can say is WOW, those are some cheap prices. I have an upcoming project almost identical in size to your home and my lowest of 4 bids on a propane system was $65K and they were not the most experienced company. Of the three good companies bidding, the lowest was $75K and I'm a contractor. Even now with VAC dropping prices due to the lack of work, your prices are much lower.
What is more amazing is your prices for your geothermal. My price for an 11 ton system a few years ago was double over a conventional system.
You might consider instead of dong the geothermal do a package of insulation and weatherization projects. These might well save you just as much heating (and maybe cooling) money as the heat pump at less cost. They will definitely save more carbon.
Our house heat bill is well under half what is was when we moved in due to more insulation in many areas, window treatments, infiltration fixes, and a bit of solar. Total cost was about a tenth of what you are talking about (with me doing the work). This stuff also qualifies for the rebate. And, you won't have to replace the compressor on your insulation in 15 years :)
Just a thought.
|Like sniffdog said, get 3 bids. I found they vary greatly. Like I mentioned in a previous post, The 2100 Sf house I built was $18,000 for everything. After $2000 rebate and tax credit, we were comparable in cost to a standard high efficiency system.

Gay marriage and guns.
Two issues, so completely different from one another, and yet they have defined Ohio's junior senator, Rob Portman, in 2013.
Pundits and politicians alike are pondering how the Terrace Park Republican's positions on these hot-button issues will impact his chances for re-election in 2016.
2016 seems to be a long way away; but, in politics, it is never too early to start thinking about the next election.
A group advocating for changes to state and national gun laws rallied on Fountain Square today with several dozen people attending the event, which featured speakers from law enforcement, medicine, politics and faith communities, as well as survivors of gun violence.

text: I have a question I've decided to take a week off but I don't feel overtrained or nothing but I haven't taken a week off for over 6 months so I've decided to take one now . But when you guys take a week off does that mean no cardio or only weight training , because I think that if I go a week without doing any sort of physical activity I will go nuts because I have alot of energy all the time I'm never tired and never get more than 6 hours of sleep a night but I recover extremelly fast and I have never felt symptoms of overtraining and I train 6 days a week 4 days weights and 2 days cardio and I train very intense most of the time . BUt I know I'm not overtraining because trainijg this way has worked for me and when I train training less I got less results . So if you feel good and have tremendous evergy is it good doing some sort of cardio or would it be better for me to just stop everything for a week ? Because when I do cardio more carbs are being stored into my muscle cells and get better pumps ? So what do you guys do when you take a week off ? thanks in advance .
