I just moved into my own apartment and my sister bought me these sheets along with other stuff a housewarming gift. I have to say my sister has really good taste and the print is absolutely beautiful. The colors are soft and the print is subtle giving my bedroom a nice relaxing feel. I have a solid white comforter so I pull down the flat sheet over the top part of the comforter so you can see the beautiful print. The quality is great as well, so soft and warm. There was a lot of lint in the first wash, which my sister said was normal because she bought similar German flannel sheets. Besides the dryer lint catcher being full, it didn't ruin the sheets or anything like that. It actually made the sheets softer. But after the 2nd wash there is not as much lint. I think I may buy a solid color as a back up sheet, or maybe mix and match the look. This is the first time I ever had a Queen size bed so I need to have sheets when the other set is in the laundry.
We use flannel year round because we LOVE the coziness. I've been called "the queen of comfort" because I KNOW COMFORT! Too hot in summer? NO WAY if you keep your t-stat set to 67 degrees. I own at least 12 sets of flannel sheets for use in the master and 2 guest rooms, so I know flannel. THESE GERMAN MADE SHEETS ARE LIKE CRAWLING INTO A COCOON! High quality, heavy, inviting, warm, and OH SO SOFT. I have purchased other German flannels from different retailers and they cost twice as much per set. If you love flannel, you'll love these.
I ordered one set of these sheets and put them on my bed ias soon as they arrived. They are thick, soft and very warm. I liked them so much, I ordered a second set within a week so I can keep these sheets on my bed most of the winter. They wash very well, maintain their shape and shrink very little in the dryer. They have only become more soft and fluffy over the past few months. If I could rationalize purchasing a third set I would! But how many sets of sheets can you put on a bed?!
I like to mix and match my sheets and pillowcases. These are so pretty and they go with alot. I was happy to find a king set for the larger pillows
I bought these to mix and match with the silver grey paisley comforter set. Very cozy, and add a bit of interest. They wash well (I did follow the instructions and laundered first with a cup of white vinegar and no detergent).
Love everything about these cases....just wish the sheets were still available....hoping for them to come back next winter!!
Soft, warm, cuddly - and they look beautiful as well! The print is lovely, the quality of manufacture is excellent. If you live where there is winter - you'll appreciate the cold nights you spend wrapped up in these sheets!
I am 60yo and have been sleeping on flannel sheets my whole life. These are the best sheets I have ever seen. The are so thick and soft they are heaven to sleep on. I have only washed them 3 times but came out fine. I am buying another set.

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Open-market operations such as buying and selling of government securities by central banks to manage liquidity in the financial system may hurt price stability, Reserve Bank of India Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said.
While policy makers conduct such actions to ensure there is sufficient cash in the banking system, price stability could be held "hostage" if the operations are used to help a "fiscally vulnerable sovereign" or to reduce the cost of borrowing for the government, Subbarao said in a speech in Mumbai today.
"In India, the question has been whether the OMOs conducted by the Reserve Bank to manage systemic liquidity are acting as a disincentive for fiscal discipline," Subbarao said.
The Reserve Bank has boosted borrowing costs 13 times since March 2010 to stem price pressures in the Indian economy before leaving the benchmark repurchase rate unchanged at 8.5 percent for the second month in January.
The central bank on Jan. 24 lowered the amount of deposits lenders need to set aside as reserves for the first time since 2009, saying it was to "address structural pressures on liquidity in a way" consistent with the prevailing monetary stance. The RBI has bought 719 billion rupees ($14.6 billion) of bonds since November to ease a cash squeeze at banks.
Another question confronting central banks is whether they are "being forced beyond their comfort zone to subordinate their monetary policy stance to the government's fiscal stance," Subbarao said today.
India's budget deficit reached 92.3 percent of the fiscal- year target in the nine months through December, government data showed yesterday, compared to a 44.9 percent shortfall in the same period a year earlier. The federal government in December increased its annual borrowing program by 8.5 percent to 5.1 trillion rupees.
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said cutting the deficit is a "serious challenge." The nation's fiscal deficit may reach 5.6 percent "with an upside risk" in the financial year to March 31, Standard Chartered Plc forecasts, compared with the government's 4.6 percent target.

Pagets disease of the bone
Paget?s disease of the bone
Paget's disease is a disorder that involves abnormal bone destruction and regrowth, which results in deformity.
Alternative Names
Osteitis deformans
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cause of Paget's disease is unknown, although it might have to do with genes or a viral infection early in life.
The disease occurs worldwide, but is more common in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
In people with Paget's disease, there is an abnormal breakdown of bone tissue, followed by abnormal bone formation. The new bone is bigger, but weaker and filled with new blood vessels.
The disease may only be in one or two areas of the skeleton, or throughout the body. It often involves bones of the arms, collarbones, leg, pelvis, spine, and skull.
Most patients have no symptoms. Paget's disease is often diagnosed when an x-ray is done for another reason.
If they do occur, symptoms may include:
- Bone pain, joint pain or stiffness, and neck pain (the pain may be severe and present most of the time)
- Bowing of the legs and other visible deformities
- Enlarged head and skull deformities
- Fracture
- Headache
- Hearing loss
- Reduced height
- Warm skin over the affected bone
Signs and tests
Tests that may indicate Paget's disease include:
- Bone scan
- Bone x-ray
- Elevated markers of bone breakdown (for instance, N-telopeptide)
- Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase
This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:
Patients who may not need treatment include those who:
- Only have abnormal blood tests
- Have no symptoms and no evidence of active disease
Patients with Paget's disease who are commonly treated include patients who have:
- Certain bones, such as weight-bearing bones, involved, or bony changes that are getting worse quickly (treatment can reduce the risk of fractures)
- Deformities
- Pain or other symptoms
- Problems with the skull, to prevent hearing loss
Drug therapy helps prevent further bone breakdown. Currently, there are several classes of medications used to treat Paget's disease. These include:
- Bisphosphonates -- These drugs are the first treatment, and they help increase bone density. They may be taken by mouth or given through a vein (intravenously) less often.
- Calcitonin -- This hormone is involved in bone metabolism. It may be given as a nasal spray (Miacalcin), or as an injection under the skin (Calcimar or Mithracin)
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) may also be given for pain. Orthopedic surgery may be needed to correct a deformity in severe cases.
Support Groups
For additional support and resources, see the Paget Foundation .
Expectations (prognosis)
Disease activity and symptoms can generally be controlled with current medications. A small percentage of patients may develop a cancer of the bone called osteosarcoma. Some patients will need joint replacement surgery.
- Bone fractures
- Deafness
- Deformities
- Heart failure
- Paraplegia
- Spinal stenosis
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of Paget's disease.

Report: Some See Economic Improvement in Arkansas in 2014; Most Expect No Change
by Lee Hogan
Posted 3/14/2014 11:00 am
Updated 9 months ago
Most economists surveyed expect economic conditions in Arkansas to remain the same in 2014, while a "sizable minority" expect to see some improvement from 2013.
The predictions were released Thursday in the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis' "Burgundy Book" report on fourth-quarter 2013 economic conditions.
According to the report, Fayetteville and Fort Smith saw employment growth stronger than the national average, while Little Rock and Texarkana saw weaker growth in the final quarter of 2013.
The Little Rock Zone report, which includes all of the state except northeast Arkansas, showed manufacturing employment fell for the third consecutive year. The drop in 2013 was in part due to a significant drop in manufactured exports, the report said. While Little Rock saw a 0.3 percent drop in manufacturing and Arkansas saw a 0.2 percent drop, Fayetteville saw a 0.6 percent increase.
The zone's fourth quarter unemployment rate came in at 7.2 percent, up from the 7.0 percent unemployment rate in the U.S. The Fayetteville area enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate at 5.5 percent. Little Rock came in under the national average, as well, at 6.7 percent.
The Jonesboro area — included in the Memphis Zone report that covers northeast Arkansas, west Tennessee and north Mississippi — had the strongest labor market conditions in its zone. The area's unemployment rate in the fourth quarter averaged at 6.9 percent, under the national average and the Memphis Zone's 9.4 percent unemployment rate. It was the only area of northeast Arkansas that did not have an unemployment rate over 8 percent in the fourth quarter.
The Little Rock Zone's residential housing market conditions "softened" in the fourth quarter compared to third quarter numbers. Compared to numbers from a year ago, home prices and single-family building permits were down, the report said.
Fourth quarter numbers also showed a continuing trend of reduced outstanding mortgage debt and credit card balances, and an increase in auto loan debt in the Little Rock Zone. The northeast region of the state also saw a drop in mortgage and credit card debt while auto loan debt increased.
Banks in the Little Rock Zone remained some of the more profitable among all district banks in the fourth quarter with a 1.2 percent return on average assets compared to a 1.0 percent average across the district.
In the Memphis Zone report, northeast Arkansas banks also saw a 1.2 percent return on average assets, while west Tennessee banks saw a 0.7 percent return and north Mississippi banks saw a 0.8 percent return.
The report showed a drop in commodity, soybean and corn prices, and a drop in coal and red meat production in the Little Rock Zone. The northeast Arkansas region also saw a drop in the same areas.
While most expect economic conditions to stay the same in 2014 in the Little Rock Zone, about half of economists surveyed think conditions will improve in 2014 in the Memphis Zone, and only seven percent of those surveyed expect conditions to worsen.
The Little Rock Zone includes about 2.5 million people, while the Memphis Zone includes about 3.1 million.

Options include everything from microdermabrasion and oxygen-rich treatments to basic European facials, which are just like American facials, but without the mask made from eagles' tears.
As owner of Ruby Blu Salon, Michael Barone brings 13 years of experience to its styling operations, overseeing staff members who sculpt tresses amid exposed ceilings, track lighting, and portraits of models with stylish 'dos. The son of a professional hairstylist, Michael followed in his father's footsteps—a difficult task, as they were filled in with hair clippings.

I have been looking for a tinted moisturizer for the summer that looks like my skin but better. Laura Mercier was the best I'd found until I tried this again and pay dirt! Enhanced skin but it makes my skin look 10 years younger, doesn't emphasize wrinkles or flaws and best yet doesn't look like I'm wearing a boat-load of makeup. All pluses when you get older, trust me.
I had nude in my arsenal but that appears to be my winter color so had to order glow for the summer. Right now I'm about a NC 30 or Laura Mercier sand.
This is expensive but I am loving that I only need a layer of primer/sunscreen and this with some blush. No need for bronzer or illuminators to make my skin look great.
Also worth a note is that my skin is normal/combo right now. I don't love this TM during the winter when my skin is drier but right now it's great. Winter I use Lancome BB creme.

This is a decent tinted moisturiser, that does live up to its promise of looking like skin. I got this as a gift, in the colour Nude and it might be a shade too dark for my NC20 skin. It feels pretty oily, even for me. I have normal to dry skin and this does oil up in a couple of hours in sweltering Singapore.
I like the packaging a lot. It is a toothpaste-like tube that doesn't fill back with air after squeezing the tube. This is so much more convenient for dispensing product. The opening is also small and perfect for dispensing just the amount you need.
Overall, okay product, fabulous packaging, but not enough to justify the high price tag. Any decent BB cream can also give you the same finish at a fraction of the price (albeit with less colour choices).

I'm very torn on this product. It's the most beautiful finish of any tinted moisturizer (or foundation) that I have ever tried. It leaves skin looking glowy and evens out and corrects the skin tone lightly. (Depending on the moisturizer used underneath, skin can look very dewy, or slightly glowing.)
The longevity is good, and the packaging is great. Unfortunately, this product does give me small pimples every time I wear it. Nothing major, but enough to deter me from wearing it more than every once in a while. It's a shame, because if it weren't for the slight acne it causes I'd be able to get past the incredibly high cost and this would be my absolute go-to.
Still looking, and won't repurchase. But I do recommend this product to those with less sensitive skin!
Kept this despite only using it approximately 10 times before I declared this acne-inducing. Revisited it several weeks ago, and I've been wearing it every day since. Perhaps due to consistent chemical exfoliation, I'm now able to wear this without it inducing cosmetic acne. I now apply this with my hands, over a light moisturizer and illuminator. Stays on all day and evening, with a brilliant sheen. Tube lasts many uses, even whilst using a large "glob" each use. I'm changing the overall rating to 4 stars, one star deducted for absurd 67 dollar price.

This is yet another fantastic product from this fabulous makeup and skincare company. The more I use their products , the more I want to keep going back and trying more more more . Have to say I have only used their makeup to date , but I can see it fast becoming a staple in my daily makeup routine. This is another stella product that after a week of testing the sample I knew would be another purchase, can they do no wrong I ask myself !!!The product was applied with ease out of the sleek no nonsense packaging, no risk of leaks and the product is well protected . A small amount squeezed on the back of my hand and then applied with fingers and buffed in with the Bobbie Brown full foundation brush. This gives me a perfect base , I went for BLISS and I can easily warm up the look with bronzer and or blusher, so the colour match has enabled me to use this product day and night. Its light , easy on the skin and lasts all day with minimal touch up required at night .If you like a light natural look you will not be disappointed with this little beauty. Personally given the size of the tube and the amount required for full face coverage I think the price is ok. I'm not a fan of foundation so this tube of perfection ticks all my boxes. You are getting more than just a moisturiser and more than just a foundation so for that its worthy of 5 lippies in my humble opinion. I was given a great sample size and really being able to test this out daily was greatly appreciated. I had zero reactions , my skin genuinely loved this product and I couldn't recommend it more , along with a couple of others including no foundation foundation this will be a regular in my make up bag .

I love this product, but have dropped a lippy because of the very high price in Australia ($94 exclusively at Mecca Cosmetica - ouch), I am constantly searching for a comparable product that is more reasonably priced. I hate that overseas sites are blocked so Aussies have no way of shopping for a better price on the global market without actually traveling overseas or roping in overseas friends or relatives to send it or bring it over! So far I have failed to find anything close to this fabulous product and am now on my fourth tube.
According to Paula Begouin the sunscreen in it isn't really a broad spectrum SPF, so you shouldn't rely on it for sun protection. I can't verify this except to say I get the impression Australia is pretty strict about labeling of sunscreens in particular. As all Aussies know, SPF15 is not high enough for the strength of the Australian sun if you are out and about a fair bit in it anyway.
'Just Skin' is well named, it makes me look I have natural fabulous skin (I don't but it isn't too bad either). It does not irritate but makes my skin feel soft and smooth. It isn't a cover all, more a sheer veil and it also photographs very poorly but in real life it adds a beautiful subtle glow. Every time I try something else it just reinforces how well this works for me.

I use this product daily and it is great even with my oily skin. I apply it with Real techniques buffing brush and it just looks amazing. It is great for those with almost perfect skin since it is has low coverage. But this with a good concealer (if you need it) and you are ready to go.
It is a bit expensive, but you should keep in mind that you get 50 ml while in most foundations you get 30 ml.
I have fair skin with yellow undertones and Alabaster is just perfect. In summer i mix it with the color Bliss and it looks amazing.

This is an amazing product, by far the best tinted moisturiser I have tried.
This gives great coverage for a tinted moisturiser, I would say light to medium (medium for a tinted moisturiser) and is really buildable.
It smooths over dry patches or flakey skin and doesn't accentuate them at all. Looks very natural, like second skin.
It's very moisturising and leaves a soft dewy but not oily-looking finish.
This is my go-to product for when I have bad skin or have any acne as it doesn't seem to irritate or aggravate my skin.
It's just so easy to apply and melts into the skin.
A little goes a long way I only need a pea sized amount for the whole face and it lasts very well throughout the day.
The only downside is the price at $94 AUS.
I use Bliss for my NC15-20 skin.
Contains 50mL, SPF 15
I think it definitely worth the price tag as it is the one product I can rely on whether I have good skin days or not. Will definitely repurchase.

Pros: Gorgeous colors and finish. Makes my skin look amazing, like my skin but better. No irritation to my sensitive skin or eyes. Fragrance is pleasant, very un-SPF. I used to use Murad SPF 15 Sheer Tint and this is the best texture I've found since that product was discontinued.
Cons: A little too hydrating for my oily skin, although this could be perfect for winter. And the price - ouch! 2.5 times more than Murad?
I'd give this 5 lippies except for the price.

I absolutely love this tinted moisturiser. It's very creamy, gives a very natural and healthy coverage - my skin literally glows! I bought it with the intention of wearing it on weekends only but it's now become my daily staple as I love the finish this product gives. It's pricey for a tinted moisturiser, but it's well worth it. Lasts all day for me - it's winter now, when I powder my T-zone lightly. Will see how it wears when the weather warms up. A little product goes a long way. As well, I am so pleased that my rather sensitive skin doesn't react to this product.

The Secret Circle Review: Who Died?by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
RIP, Nick, the bound circle and any fears that this show would be unable to shock viewers in the same ways as its predecessor, The Vampire Diaries.
I mean... wow. Did anyone see that coming? I kept waiting for "Slither" to conclude with some sign that Nick was alive, but nope. We got just the opposite, as Cassie shed a tear over her neighbor, the episode faded to black and I was left stunned over what went down and anxious over where things go next.
Nick was clearly the most expendable member of the coven, as viewers only really knew him as the troubled soul who lost both his parents. The series simply didn't dedicate as much time to developing his character - and now we know why.
But killing off one of the young core six serves a purpose far beyond shock value.
First, it gave us new insight into Charles and Dawn. They may be after their former powers - via the creation of new crystals - but they are not after the kids. They truly want to keep them safe. Charles was an absolute mess after taking out Nick. Perhaps that's why they want to regain said powers. Perhaps there's an evil force on the way and they know they'll need to be at their strongest to protect their children against it.
And perhaps Charles wants to make the lie that he's dating Dawn into a reality. The guy is totally crushing.
Second, Nick's death drives home an important point to the remaining quintet: this is serious stuff! No more abuse of abilities, no more scheming to cast spells on your own, no more dissension all around (cough... cough... Faye... cough... cough...). You best team up for real and remain committed or who knows what will happen next.
Which brings me to my third point: What will happen next?!? Does this count as UN-binding the circle? Will that have repercussions if so? The group waited so long for Cassie to arrive and to be complete, but where does the death of a member fit into the grand idea of a bound circle? And how will each witch respond? Will they grow closer to each other, or attempt to distance themselves from what they now consider to be a dangerous, even deadly practice?
So many questions. Such a creepy, surprising episode. Two final points before I turn this review over to reader reaction:
- Very good to see Adam and Diana have their own, whipped-cream-filled fun. We've been told and shown from the outset that Cassie and Adam are meant for each other, but a love triangle is only interesting if all sides to it are believable. So it was a welcome few minutes to watch these two act like a pair truly in love... and in lust. Sorry, Cadam shippers.
- Also very good to see Cassie letting her grandmother in on the coven. We only could have taken so many silent dinners or lies about text messages before secret-keeping felt forced and stale.
But is grandma really in the dark over the mysterious, fatal event from 16 years ago? I say no. How about you?

I think that they will still bring Nick back..I mean Britt/Cassie even said in one of her interviews that her connection with Nick will be developed much sooner than they expected. Also, in their Halloween episode, a pig-costumed guy will somewhat kidnap Melissa, and my guess is that, that person is Nick...just theories..unless they are not all together or connected the circle is not complete, so maybe they are saying that the circle will be broken because Nick won't be around with them but only hiding or somewhat in a far place looking for answers...again, it is just another guess...
When I was watching the episode and saw they killed Nick I was like OK they well bring him back to life whit Grams help like Diana's mom did whit the crystal, my surprise was when Fay say that the Police was going to cover it up and say it was other thing I was like WTF they have bring other characters back from the death and this was a MAIN. They have shown that its possible (bring someone from the death) if they have killed him on the Pilot I well be OK its a good opening. Now they say his big brother well come to the town? all of the circle are only child and I can believe that they have a brother from eny other character but Nick, come on his TEEN Father and Mother died so how could they have other child older than Nick they had the firs at 13? I am not seen a second season or a complete season 1 for what it maters...
wait. now ive read about chris zylka, i see how it is. he's gonna make a move on cassie and despite the fact that adam is with diana, adam's gonna feel it in his soul and other parts. And maybe he'll spurred to actions beyond licking whipped cream of the class president. this is not a triangle its a quaddierangle.
OMG. I was like WTF. And NO WAY! There goes my Cassick shipping went down the rabbit hole. If the producers is serious about killing one of the circle members, it should be DIANA! No, not that I hate Diana, in fact I love her so much. Just because she's been too kind and awesome. And imagine how her death will bring Cadam into the next level and Charles will be thrown into such a dilemma if it's her own daughter he has to kill! Diana is awesome but she's been unused for these past episodes. But RIP NICK! You're hot and you've been fun for when you're alive!
oh and i so totally think Charles is hot, he is the reason i even started watching this show, i completely fell in love with him after i watched "Queer as Folk" (loved that show!!!!)
@Michele, Did I see a Vicki flashback? Actually, it was actually a bit more shocking. There were of course clues to him being killed off. That said, it was a moronic to give him some us a sympathetic Nick who tried to do the right thing for Melisa in the previous episode and then poof... Who do you prefer Nick or Adam? I'm going to stereo-type: Nick was the better looking, Adam has a blank face most of the times, Diana always look like an Anna Kendrick personality, and Cassie reminds me a bit of Elena/Damsel in distress. Therefore, out of the two younger male cores, I preferred Nick. Is Nick coming back? I'm actually half hoping that bring another Male witch who has better cast chemistry with the girls. Both Paul and Ian from TVD are on a whole different class to the male cast of the secret circle (anyone going to contest that?). But if Nick is "revived" latter in the season I have no qualms in seeing that in a supernatural universe.
it sucks that nick died now there is only 1 hot guy left and that is Adam. Adam doesn't look like hes gay. so what that he has eyeliner on.
R.I.P Nick
I am sad as well about Nick...but to be honest they never once said that he was dead...from everyone's reaction it just looks that way...but what if he is just in the hospital in a coma or something....Louis Hunter (Nick) is credited in next weeks episode so there is still hope! I love Nick and I really want him back!

VA home loans see surge in demand
But many veterans feel excluded from market
The long-dormant veterans home loan program has surged in popularity in the past year, letting thousands of active and retired military families move from renting to owning.
Nearly 3,700 San Diego military families — almost triple last year's rate — have used their Veterans Affairs benefits to buy in the past year, as other loans requiring bigger down payments and better credit became less attractive. An increase in the VA loan limit has also brought most homes on the market within reach of military buyers.
But many of the would-be buyers are coming up empty-handed, nudged aside by investors and all-cash buyers and ignored by agents, sellers and bankers who don't want to work with VA buyers.
Roadblocks to using VA loans include tougher appraisals and closer scrutiny of the properties. While other buyers will take a property in as-is condition, VA loans require repairs to be completed before escrow closes. In addition, VA buyers get their upfront fees repaid if escrow does not close, while other buyers have to absorb such costs.
The upshot is that VA buyers can spend months bidding for affordable homes and lose out.
Many veterans now feel a sense of betrayal. For many, it's now too late to take advantage of state and federal tax credits, unless they are renewed, and the inventory of attractively priced, foreclosed homes has shrunk, at least for now.
"It's very frustrating and disheartening," said Jessica Donigan of Gary Kent Homes & Estates-Re/Max Associates. "I've heard a lot of vets say they feel they're being discriminated against, that it's not fair."
One of Donigan's clients, William Flick, an Air Force veteran, and his wife, Amber, both 27, have looked at 40 homes in the past six months in the La Mesa-Spring Valley area. They submitted seven offers with no luck, and in at least two cases, the buyer bid less. They continue to rent in La Mesa.
"It really takes the taste out of your mouth to try get a house," said Flick, a 2000 Mount Miguel High School graduate who works in biomedical repair. "I have all the money and credit and would love them to take all the money they need and help this (economic) crisis, and they say no, no . . . The system seems broken."
Bankers, brokers and VA officials acknowledge the problem but offer no solutions short of new regulations that would give special preference to veterans.
"I think everyone has emotional ties to the vets," said Bank of America spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens, whose bank has the most distressed properties for sale nationally.
But she said many low-cost, foreclosure homes do not qualify for VA loans, which require no down payment. The VA insures 25 percent of the loans, which are resold to investors.
In the past 12 months, there have been 3,699 VA-insured loans for San Diego County home purchases, said Jeff Wilson, VA regional loan production officer in Phoenix. That compares with 1,300 for the same period last year and represents about 25 percent of all VA loans in California.

Hi there,
This is my first post here. I've had a look through the forum but can't find a similar question being asked.
We use SIMS and Bromcom. If I want to output all the sets a student belongs to (not their form) I have to use Nova. I was wondering if there was any way of doing this in SIMS itself. I can see that SIMS has the info by clicking 'Student Curriculum,' (the link used to change their set, etc). But is there a way to output this info from within SIMSalong with all the other info in a marksheet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Would expect to find something on the engine itself or maybe on the vehicle label on the driver's door frame.
Also, you can call your dealership with your VIN or look it up by VIN online.
Answer #2Valleyautotech December 14, 2009, 11:16Master
The ID numbers are stamped on the engine pad in the front where the head meets the block, write those numbers down and either go to the book store or library and look for a book called Chevrolet ID numbers or look online under Chevrolet engine identification
Answer #3Visitor, July 09, 2010, 10:57
the eight digit of the vin # is the engine code on this year of vehicle. if you check out auto parts houses, they can usually access this info so you can match it up.

Jams, there is no apology needed. I explained how your argument comes across, how it is perceived by others. If that is not how you want to be perceived, you should consider changing or adjusting your argument.
Ok, apologies aren't your style then. The next time you want to assume what others don't understand please prove it. You don't like warm and fuzzies, I get that, Fine, But don't change that in others. No, I won't change the way I debate.

Actually, lack of sincerity and empathy is demonstrated a lot here. Like mops wrongly accusing me of calling her anorexic too in a debate that wasn't about her to begin with, Yea it's fair to say apologies aren't her style. I can't tell your position, I think you take a lot in digest and spit out what "looks" real, You're too funny bord, Lol.
|Sun, 11-10-2013 - 8:35am
You can't tell my position in a debate Jambles? Why is that? I'm pretty clear about what I stand for. Sometimes it's a little more nuanced than "X" or "Not X," but that is life. Not always simple. As for the way I think, yes, I do like to take in as much information as possible, process it, and then form an opinion. If I've got some facts wrong, I'm happy to adjust my conclusions on the basis of new and better data.
Yea you do do that. I don't know if that's to make yourself look better or an admission that your opinions are limited to your own experiences, You're this big mystery to me bord! o_0

Recipe by JameelahS
"This is the best recipe. I discovered it when I was preparing dinner for a sick friend."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 cups
graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup
white sugar
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 cup
whole milk
egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons
I altered this recipe a little when I made it the first time and my whole family loved them! Even my 10 month old protested loudly when I walked away after giving him a bite! I replaced 1/2 cup of the graham crumbs for flour, reduced the milk to 3/4 cup and replaced the 1/4 cup with butter, and I used sugar instead of honey since my baby would be eating them. They were really yummy! I will be making them again for sure!
This recipe is just not very good.

If you love graham crackers, you will love these muffins! They are delicious and extremely simple to make.
Change the sugar to 1/2 cup and add a teaspoon of vanilla. Sweet and perfect. Not bland at all that way.
I tried this recipe for the 1st time this week and it was very easy to make and it came out delicious. My wife and our guests loved it!
This a good recipe to make with kids. I made 18 servings not 10 and used 2 eggs instead of 1 and 3/4. I did it with a preschool class and let them crush the graham crackers. We used double zip lock bags,made sure the air was out and small wooden hammers and rollers. They had fun. The muffins were delicious. We added cin. and vanilla and I'm not sure how much but we weren't stingy.Everyone loved them.
My husband said these were the best muffins I ever made. Of course, I was 1/2 cup short on milk so I substituted melted butter, so that might have had something to do with it...but they were definitely moist and delicious.
I wasn't all that impressed with these muffins. I added chocolate chips to the recipe (without the chocolate chips, I probably would have rated these with three stars). I also took the recommendation of reducing the milk to 3/4 cups and adding 1/4 cup of butter. A food processor with the metal blade attachment works great for crumbing the graham crackers!

Annett returns to hometown track for NASCAR race
DES MOINES, Iowa Michael Annett has always cherished racing at his home-state track. This time, Annett's latest trip to Iowa Speedway will mark a major milestone in his comeback from a gruesome injury.
Annett will race for the third time since fracturing and dislocating his sternum in February when the NASCAR Nationwide series runs at Newtown on Saturday night.
The opportunity to race just 35 miles west of his hometown of Des Moines is special to Annett. But what makes it even more important for Annett is that the Newton track is where he finished fourth last August after starting 17th - a run that rivaled any in Annett's short career.
"This is where we took off," Annett said. "Finishing fourth there the last time we were there, and being so close to winning the race, that's the biggest reason why I wanted to make sure I'd be able to run Iowa."
Annett knows he's lucky to racing anywhere this season after what happened at Daytona just over three months ago. Just 85 laps before a wreck that left over two dozen fans injured, Annett's No. 43 car got tagged from behind, sending it into the wall. The 11-car crash shattered a bone in his chest.
In an instant, Annett went from chasing a Nationwide championship to a slow and grueling rehabilitation.
Annett wasn't allowed to lift anything over 10 pounds until early May, forced instead to ride an elliptical machine to maintain his cardio. He watched races from the pit box for three months before returning for the Charlotte race May 25, finishing 17th. He finished 13th at Dover last weekend.
Annett said he hasn't felt rusty since returning. But he has noticed that, in his view, the rest of the series has improved considerably.
"I feel completely comfortable. It didn't take too long for me there in Charlotte to realize how tough the competition in the Nationwide series this year is compared to last year," Annett said. "Each race there's probably 15 winning race cars, as to where last year there was five to 10 that might win it."
After years of middling results, Annett emerged last season as one of the best drivers in the Nationwide series.
Annett racked up six top-five finishes in 2012, something he'd never done in the 105 races from 2008-11. He also finished in the top 10 17 times in 33 starts, and he wound up fifth in the Nationwide standings even though he failed to win a pole or a race. Though Annett has put his injury behind him, he's still fighting to get back to where he was last fall.
"The toughest part was not being able to build on the momentum we had going into the season," Annett said. "It felt like we were knocking on the door of our first win, and for sure going to be racing for a championship this year ... everything was in place to go after that championship."
Annett almost certainly can't win the title this season after missing eight races though.

The following text is the original citation considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration.The Savoy Restaurant building was constructed in 1914 on the site previously occupied by the Criterion Hotel.The original building comprised only the corner portion of the structure as it now stands. During the 1920s it was enlarged with a three-storeyed north wing linking the building more harmoniously with the main Herbert Haynes building and an extension to its Moray place frontage.The building has a striking ornamental façade featuring round headed windows with prominent keystones, a carved entablative crowning the second storey and a lanterned dome on an ornamental drum over the corner section. The building is beautifully proportioned to suit a corner site.The original owner of the building was Daniel Haynes, partner of the former drapery firm of Herbert Haynes Limited, which later became DIC Limited. Daniel Haynes Trust held the leases until 1973 when the building was purchased by Edgar of St Clair Investment Limited.Dawsons Jewellers originally occupied the ground floor corner section (now occupied by Daniels Jewellers Limited). Inside the former Dawsons Jewellers were magnificent oak tables (now in Arthur Barnetts) and walnut showcases (only one of which remains).The Savoy Grill Room was opened on the top floor by Mr & Mrs P. Barling, who later opened the Warwick Room on the first floor corner. After the new wing was completed they opened, in 1923, the Tudor Hall, which adjourned the Clarence Room (now Tudor Lounge).Once considered the finest dining room interior in the Southern Hemisphere, Tudor Hall features dark English oak panelling a magnificent English oak and Oamaru stone fireplace surround, arches, leadlights and stained glass windows. The Elizabethan décor includes imported light fittings and reproduced antique design furniture. Despite fires between 1967 and 1970 the interior has remained virtually the same but it does not attract the large number of guests which it had during the 1920s and 1930s.Both the street façade and the interior details of this building have architectural value.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
