In this study we investigated the distribution of self-reported health care utilisation by education and household income in a county population in Norway, in a universal public health care system based on ideals of equal access for all according to need, and not according to wealth.
The study included 24,147 women and 20,608 men aged 20 years and above in the third Nord-Trøndelag Health Survey (HUNT 3) of 2006–2008. Income-related horizontal inequity was estimated through concentration indexes, and inequity by both education and income was estimated as risk ratios through conventional regression.
We found no overall pro-rich or pro-educated socioeconomic gradient in needs-adjusted utilisation of general practitioner or inpatient care. However, we found overall pro-rich and pro-educated inequity in utilisation of both private medical specialists and hospital outpatient care. For these services there were large differences in levels of inequity between younger and older men and women.
In contrast with recent studies from Norway, we found pro-rich and pro-educated social inequalities in utilisation of hospital outpatient services and not only private medical specialists. Utilisation of general practitioner and inpatient services, which have low access threshold or are free of charge, we found to be equitable.

Somehow I've avoided FL's music all these years except for that track he did for Killa Mike a few years ago. At this point I just like standing on the outside and watching you guys go back and forth. I feel like an anthropologist.
I hadn't heard anything since Los Angeles (besides Captain Murphy) but decided to check out this latest one. It's goddamn ridic.u.lous.
Probably my album of the year, RTJ2 has more tracks that make me say 'daaayum' but I think Youre Dead is a more complete album as a whole rather than RTJ2's fine collection of nasty tracks.
Posted 25 November 2014 - 10:17 PM
went and saw Flying Lotus last Saturday on the last stop of his "You're Dead!" tour. it was an incredible show, in every way that Shabazz Palaces was not (which is not to say that S.P. sucked, they were my favorite live act this year; it's just that this show was completely different from theirs, yet equally as good).
he played mostly a mix of his new and old material, although at one point he dropped an unreleased Kendrick verse (that i have recorded in its entirety) and some crazy unreleased footwork he's been working on lately i guess...but the atmosphere was just super dope, Thundercat came back out (he was the opener) to reprise that P-Funk sounding song about ecstasy at one point, then FlyLo himself came from behind the elaborate set made of transparent screens and started spitting some Captain Murphy shit.
after the show ended, i stuck around and happened to run into Thundercat. i always feel awkward talking to these people i look up to, especially because i'm the one out of a crowd of twenty who doesn't just want to get an Instagram picture to impress my friends or whatever...anyway, i told him that FlyLo and him are the new Bird and Diz imo -- that definitely got his attention.
he then proceeded to wrap his arm around me for a picture, but it was weird cause i was there solo and there was this misunderstanding that i was with this other couple nearby just trying to get a picture haha.
anyway, they felt obligated to let me into their picture after that, so i reluctantly posed (i'm not photogenic, especially when something unexpected like this comes along and i have 0 seconds to prepare) with them and now have this super fucking weird picture with myself, Thundercat and this stranger named Brian:
(i'm on the right)
anyway, so after this picture happened, i suddenly found myself walking with and actually having a short conversation with Stephen for a few minutes, which was really cool; but i'm painfully self-aware and realized my welcome would be worn out fast, so i cut the exchange short and told him to take it easy...and that's pretty much my story. all in all, it was a dope experience -- and the fact that i got to meet Thundercat was awesome as well, because i'm a fucking weirdo that doesn't get to go out much as it is.
he's a very down to earth person...and i know i left at least some sort of impression on him, because he seemed very flattered by my compliment lol.

pretty sure that track's on his compilation from last year called "Ideas+Drafts+Loops" or something...it had all sorts of unreleased, unfinished material he didn't know what to do with.

He's been using that laugh sample for awhile, found a video of him doing the laugh though (if it wasn't a sample and just him, he's def modified the sound a lot lol)
Posted Yesterday, 02:12 PM
i've definitely heard that laugh on some Madlib tracks as well, way before CM was around. correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't it used a lot in BK Vol. 5-6?
Posted Yesterday, 02:40 PM
Posted Yesterday, 09:46 PM
Badass, thanks for clearing this up! Lowering the pitch 20% in audacity sounds exactly like CM
Posted Yesterday, 10:35 PM
Posted Yesterday, 11:24 PM
i think he can emulate it, but it's clearly that sample -- there's no question.
Posted Today, 12:14 AM
In case there was any question. Pitched down 24% and bumped up bass a little, sounds good! He does pitch it even lower on some tracks and stuff. Gave credit in the description and on my site @Jurmainson, thanks for solving this mystery!
Edit: Slowed clip by 5% too, good call JF
Posted Today, 12:36 AM
he slows it down a bit too...Madlib does as well from what i recall on those tracks i'm thinking of.

"For two years, UT fans called our show complaining that Mack can't win the big game," Williams said. "Now they're comparing him to Darrell Royal."
While a lot fraudulent and a little creepy, Dallas' faux fanaticism toward Austin is harmless, maybe even healthy. All we want to do is bask in some glory, even if we have to rub imaginary shoulders with Young, Brown, Roger Clemens, Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey on our own Sixth Street. Party planner: Compared to Austin's, ours, just south of the Trinity River, is 1/10th as fun and 10 times as dangerous.
There is one group in town with a legitimate right to rejoice over the 'Horns. At the University of Texas at Dallas, they share a direct affiliation and, surely, some giddiness. And the Richardson campus is in fact buzzing about recently released rankings. In Discover magazine's list of 2005's important science discoveries, UTD produced Nos. 8 (development of carbon nanotube sheets) and 70 (discovery of a mysterious new subatomic particle). And, somehow, they did it without even having a football team.
Hook 'em horn-rimmed glasses!
From freaks to Frogs to techies and Techies, Dallas is seeing 2006 through the Eyes of Texas.
"The Cowboys didn't make the playoffs," said Williams, "so all these front-runners had to find a winner somewhere."
Everything truly is bigger in Texas.
Especially the bandwagon.

I have three 1/2 bbl kegs that were converted into bright tanks but could easily be used as fermentation vessels. Easy to clean. Uses same airlock as a carboy. First $400 takes all three or will sell them separately for $150 each. Buyer pays shipping. (Airlocks not included)
Heh. I just saw your ad on CL first and came to post it on HBT, but you beat me to it. Good deal. Wish I had the space!
How much to ship 1 to 06776? Do you Paypal?
These are awesome. What a great idea for a fermentor. I usually skip over the sanke keg fermentor threads.
Not to derail the thread but do you have a build thread on these? I'm interested how you made them. Pretty good price in my eyes for what you are getting.
is there a diptube from one of those ball lock posts? With a undrilled stopper in place can you rack using CO2 pressure?

New research provides evidence for a link between vitamin D insufficiency and asthma severity.
Serum levels of vitamin D in more than 600 Costa Rican children were inversely linked to several indicators of allergy and asthma severity, including hospitalizations for asthma, use of inhaled steroids and total IgE levels, according to a study that will appear in the first issue for May of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
While previous in vitro studies have suggested that vitamin D may affect how airway cells respond to treatment with inhaled steroids, this is the first in vivo study of vitamin D and disease severity in children with asthma.
Juan Celedn, M.D., Dr. P.H. and Augusto Litonjua, M.D., M.P.H. of Harvard Medical School and colleagues recruited 616 children with asthma living in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, a country known to have a high prevalence of asthma. Each child was assessed for allergic markers, including both allergen-specific and general sensitivity tests, and assessed for lung function and circulating vitamin D levels. Children whose forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) exceeded 65 percent of the predicted value were also tested for airway reactivity.
They found that children with lower vitamin D levels were significantly more likely to have been hospitalized for asthma in the previous year, tended to have airways with increased hyperreactivity and were likely to have used more inhaled corticosteroids, all signifying higher asthma severity. These children were also significantly more likely to have several markers of allergy, including dust-mite sensitivity.
"To our knowledge this is the first study to demonstrate an inverse association between circulating levels of vitamin D and markers of asthma severity and allergy," wrote Drs. Celedn and Litonjua "While it is difficult to establish causation in a cross-sectional study such as this, the resul

Turn Back the Clock, Cowboys Fans. So ... Wouldja?
I like to prod ol' Uncle Wade but, let's face, his fixed defense is the reason there's hope in Cowboyville.
I know, sounds awful.
if when the Dallas Cowboys beat the Oakland Raiders on Thanksgiving, they'll be 8-3 headed into December.
If back in August at training camp in San Antonio I would've offered you 8-3 (plus a bonus that this pain-in-the-ass would vanish), would you have taken it?
1. Hell yes.
2. Nope.
Me too. And I know for sure a certain someone with the highest of hopes would've signed up for the deal.

Renren Inc. In Partnership With Intel And Feitian To Become The First Internet Company In China Adopting Intel® IPT Solutions To Enhance User Security Protection
BEIJING, April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Renren Inc. (NYSE: RENN) ("Renren" or the "Company"), China's leading real-name social networking internet platform, today announced its partnership with Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and Feitian, a leading innovator of security technologies and applications, to introduce Intel ® Identity Protection Technology (IPT) to Renren.com SNS platform.
Intel ® IPT has built two-factor authentication support directly into the platforms of 2nd generation Intel ® Core™ processor-based PCs, helping to prevent unauthorized access to user accounts. Based on Intel ® IPT, Feitian offers an internet security solution using a unique one-time password linked to each PC which changes every 30 seconds and thus provides an extra but simple-to-use layer of protection for log-in authentication. With this additional layer of security, Renren users can safely and easily log on, create and share content, play music and games, and purchase other internet value-added services.
"We are delighted to be the first Chinese website to introduce Intel's latest identity protection technology adapted by Feitian authentication solutions," said Mr.
James Liu, Chief Operating Officer of Renren. "User security is a top priority at Renren. We will continuously strive to create a highly secure and convenient online authentication and payment environment for our users."
George Thangadurai, General Manager of PC Client Services Division at Intel, added, "Creating a secure computer online environment has been a persistent goal of Intel. Today's cooperation with Renren and Feitian is another milestone we achieved to give Chinese internet users an easy access to their favorite social networking site with an additional level of confidence that they are protected from common threats."
Feitian's general manager, Mr.
Li Wei, said, "We are excited to join Intel and Renren in providing an innovative internet security solution for Chinese internet users. With Intel
® IPT solution enabled, Ultrabook users can protect their Renren account through a simple process."

Samsung Galaxy devices with KNOX receive the "gold medal" of security platforms
Samsung announced that the company's selected Galaxy devices with KNOX embedded (see the list) have received Common Criteria (CC) certification, as officially documented by Gossamer Labs of Catonsville, MD. Common Criteria is the international "gold standard" for secure and trusted systems that ensures they satisfy a predefined set of security requirements designed for enterprises.
Common Criteria certification assures that certified devices are independently evaluated and verified to meet fundamental security requirements specified in the Protection Profile. The current CC certification targets the new Mobile Device Fundamentals Protection Profile (MDFPP) of National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) published in October 2013, which addresses the security requirements of mobile devices for use in enterprise.
The components certified in CC form a cryptographic foundation on which more advanced KNOX security features are implemented. This certification validates that enterprises can safely provide their workers access to networks and high-value information assets using CC-certified Galaxy devices with KNOX embedded.
Jim Arnold, Director of Gossamer Security Solutions, commented that "rarely a company can complete an entire Common Criteria evaluation in under four months". We say, good job, Samsung. Gossamer has over 60 years of experience in product security evaluations, and the Common Criteria certification is, to put it mildly, extremely elaborate.
Moreover, this accomplishment certainly throws the gauntlet to BlackBerry, which considers its competing enterprise security product, BES, a superior solution. Although BB OS 7 and BES 5 obtained a Common Criteria certification in 2007, BB 10 and related software products are yet to "win the gold".

System only takes up 5GBs, rest is the same cache, user apps and files as on any other device, therefore you have the very typical 11GBs free out of box, and whatever you need via SD.

S series and Notes are in the same price range than other flagships, a prius is not from the same price range as an aventador. Think. And yeah publicity, it will boost sales but not 10 times as much as the competition. And where I live Nokia spams The streets and Tvs with ads and I NEVER saw anyone with a nokia. #HatersMakeUsFamous #NumbersDontLie #GoogleEmGrandpa

KNOX is great i love it but i dont understand why they removed it from my s3 with 4.3 update ??
17. joey_sfb (Posts: 3230; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
KNOX is great for business user but modder prefer their phone without KNOX.
Best solution is to keep KNOX at their Samsung App store let user decide.
18. ianneo (Posts: 27; Member since: 15 Dec 2013)
Knox is a b***h. It doesn't let you flash a custom recovery or root.

Could be better.
By shopaholic
from Bowmanville, Ontario
It's a great idea but needs a bit of work. I need a larger cup size so I ordered a size up. The cup now fits but the front of the bra is to big. The straps slip off my shoulders and there is too much of a spread in the front. Once I "rebuilt" them and closed them in a bit at the front and put a tuck in the strap, they were fine but I shouldn't have to reconstruct my bras. I also found that the pads slide around too much. They don't like to stay where I put them. The original Genie is a much better quality. Back to the drawing board.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Terrible Product
By SUSAN
from BRANTFORD
If I could rate this less than one star,I would. If you are a full figured fuller busted lady, these are not for you. There is absolutely no support. The cup inserts are too tiny for the bra pocket and the straps are way too loose. As soon as I put on the bra and made any type of movement, the band rolled up. They might be OK for smaller busted ladies but I think the manufacturers have to be more realistic about who the target audience these bras are really for. Unfortunately, I read all the negative comments too late. Sopping channel, why do you keep bringing these back????
Genie lace
By Michelle(Shelley)
from Devon,Alberta
Ok girls here it is! I read reviews and lots of ladies don't say the size they are so here's my size! I'm 5'6 tall, I'm a 140 pounds and my bra size is 38 EE! The size of genie that works best for me is 3X ! It's hard to find the right size on cup size alone. I hope that my review helps so ladies don't have to keep returning products... Sometimes I double them up for added support! Thank you
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Love these bras!!!
By Gayle the Shopper
from Winnipeg, Manitoba
I ordered 2 sets of 3 bras, one in basic & one in the brown/ mauve/ dusty blue. I ordered size 2x. My bust is a 42DDD. I bulge out the sides a bit, but I still find them super comfortable. Next time I will order the 3x. I wear them every day, at home or going out. Couldn't live without them! Good price also. : )
Not The Same!
By sue
from vancouver
This is follow-up to a previous review. After wearing and washing for a while I can say that these are definitely not the same as the original Geni's. The fabric is flimsy and too stretchy. They offer no support what so ever, so if you have a larger bust don't bother buying them. As well the band rolls up and becomes very uncomfortable. The sizing seems about the same as the original but due to the material the fit is not very good. It's too bad because the addition of the lace is a nice detail. I would not recommend these bras at all!

The Reviews speak for themselves here!
By Mommiemakesmusic
from Southern Newfoundland
I bought 2 sets for myself and 2 for my daughter. What a disappointment to both of us!!! My daughter is much smaller than I am, yet she considered these bras to be of substandard quality. Little or no support for both of us. I agreed with her description on these. I am surprised TSC would sell these, as I thought their standards were much higher. I can see these 'returns' showing up in the local dollar store before year end! Based on the number of negative reviews, I think its a given that these won't appear on TSC for the foreseeable future! The only ones benefitting from these sales are Canada Post for shipping/return shipping!
Love this bra, very comfy
By Ann
from B.C
I ordered both the bra and panties in the brights, in the three pack and they are very comfortable to wear although the bra sizing is confusing.The first time I have had this product but look forward to purchasing more. Well worth the price and they look great. Placing the pads included is a little confusing so it would be nice if instructions were included. They wash and dry great.
Sandi Deserves Better
By Judith
from Ontario
Sandi Savelli's presentations are professional and trustworthy. If Sandi is selling - I'm buying.With the lace Genie's however, I feel it is unfair for her to have to do presentations, knowing that the product is not sized as it should be. A 3X ought to have the same measurements in every style, within the brand. The cup measurement in the lace Genie is a full inch smaller than the regular Genie. I know. I measured. For heaven's sake Genie manufacturers, fix the sizing problem for Sandi's sake - and all of her faithful Genie customers.
Not the same as original bras
By Jane
from Kamloops
Bought all colours at a showstopper price; sending all back. I ordered in the same size as my original genie bras (which I wear every day!)but these new ones are different material and different sizing. The straps are longer so there is no support! Disappointing, I liked the lace around the edges and now the restocking fee comes into play (hate that fee!).
2nd time is definately NOT a charm!!
By Debi
from Moncton, NB
This is the second time I tried Genie....going to back to tried and true other type sold on TSC....where a (L) is getting too big!!The first time I ordered what was supposed to be my size (L) I gave them to my very (S) Mum. This time I ordered the (XL) and I have lost 47 pounds since the (L) and they have me flattened out and sticking out all over the place. The bags they were supposed to be in were all cut open, and since my Mum passed away in Feb/14, I have no choice but to return them. If I ever try them again, it'll be from the *as seen on tv* aisle at ((Huge 20 yr anniversary store in Canada))!! If I could leave a no-star rating...I would!!

The title of the fourth season of "Game of Thrones" says it all. Yes, "All Men Must Die" and at this point, the only way HBO's great and addictive epic could shock us would be to air a season without the death of at least one major character.
When the fourth season kicks off at 9 p.m. Sunday, fans are still trying to sort out the implications of the infamous Red Wedding episode (titled "The Rains of Castamere") from season three. It was the ninth of the season's 10 episodes, but remains the most memorable, not only because of the slaughter of major characters Robb, Catelyn and Talisa Stark, but because the massacre left the perception of a power vacuum in the overall story.
The story opens with questions about whether the Starks can still wield influence in the Seven Kingdoms. Can Ned's bastard son Jon Snow (Kit Harington ) lead the family? Ned's daughter Sansa (Sophie Turner) has married Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), but it is a political marriage arranged by Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) after he discovered the plot to unite the Stark and Tyrell factions by marrying Sansa off to Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones). Can she use the marriage to "the Imp" to the advantage of what's left of her family?
There's yet another wedding in season four, and given what happened last season, it's eagerly anticipated: The sadistic boy king Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) will tie the knot with Lady Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer). No one would ever nominate Joffrey as husband of the year, but Margaery and her grandmother, Olenna, (Diana Rigg), know the value of a great political alliance when they see one.
So what if your husband-to-be is a sadist? Nobody's perfect.
Adding to our anticipation is the arrival of wedding guest Prince Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal), a sexual omnivore known as the Red Viper who has little fondness for the Lannisters. Naturally, the Lannisters are a little worried about what he may have brought as a wedding gift.
Of course, there are even more plot strings than there are kingdoms in Westeros, and yes, the season lives up to its title in the first few episodes.
But putting aside the deaths, marriages, betrayals and other quotidian events in the Seven Kingdoms, the fourth season quickly announces itself as a significant transitional phase in the unfolding of the epic: With so many major characters now gone, we can feel "Game of Thrones" moving forward, not only with new players such as the Red Viper, but with the younger generation assuming larger and perhaps in the future, pivotal roles.
We've already seen Sansa move to center stage, not just because of her marriage to Tyrion, but also because she exhibits the kind of strategic intelligence we would expect from a major player. If her father's execution didn't toughen her up, surely the deaths of her brother and mother have. Perhaps reluctantly, she has become a survivor.
But even more fascinating is her younger sister Arya (Maisie Williams), who has already shown herself wise and self-reliant beyond her years. Even without having seen a single second of the new season, fans already know she is destined to play a significant role.
We also see other characters evolving. The peaceable learn to play rough, previously self-assured confront self-doubt, and Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) have to go on without key body parts.
For many series, killing off major characters happens because writers want to renew viewer interest. In contrast, "Game of Thrones" isn't afraid of change: It's the lifeblood of the series, and just one of the reasons we keep watching.

An odd little book titled Clint McQuade USMC: The New Beginning (1990) is perhaps unintentionally revealing. Reading this novel—which was privately published by the author, Gene Duncan, a retired Marine major—feels like taking a spelunking trip through the collective unconscious of the Corps. Indeed, Duncan states at the outset that any resemblance to real people "springs from my subconscious, over which I have no control." The book is about a retired Marine master gunnery sergeant who is reborn with the body of a sixteen-year-old while retaining the knowledge, memories, and experience of his old self. He eventually—of course—joins the Marines.
The book is most interesting for what it asserts as a matter of course: essentially that American society is decaying, corrupted, misled by its elected officials, and deserving of resentment from the Marines who protect it. "Americans are selfish people," the hero explains to his buddies. Later he tells them, "I think I have lost all faith in our politicians, so I take the narrow view and confine it to those around me of like mind, minds which dictate unselfishness and honor." In a postscript the author says that his "purpose in writing" has been to "give to the reader a sense of the heart of the United States Marine Corps." He explains that he has tried to show the Marines to be "special people with special hearts who serve a seemingly ungrateful nation."
The novel shows part of the military talking to itself when it doesn't think it is being overheard. Though hardly famous in the outside world, Gene Duncan is well known within the Marines: his books are sold by the Marine Corps Association, which at its Quantico bookshop has a special "Duncan's Books" area. The 1991 edition of General Military Subjects, the textbook used to train all recruits at Parris Island, quotes Duncan on its inside cover as saying that the job of a drill instructor is to undo "eighteen years of cumulative selfishness and 'Me-ism.'" Just after the table of contents the textbook gives Duncan a full page. The only other person so honored in the entire 199-page textbook is President George Bush.
These isolating attitudes, while perhaps most extreme in the Marines, are also found in varying degrees elsewhere in the military. "There is a deep-seated suspicion in the U.S. military of society," Andrew Bacevich, a retired Army colonel who is the executive director of the Foreign Policy Institute at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, told me in an interview. It is "part of the Vietnam hangover—'You guys betrayed us once, and you could do it again.'" This suspicion, he added, "isn't going away, it's being transmitted" to a new generation of officers.
Here again the long-term consequences of the end of conscription are still unfolding. It has become easier for the middle class in general and liberals in particular to follow their traditional impulse to turn away from the military. Within the military the end of the draft has also meant the end of its leavening effect: people from nonmilitary families were conscripted or spurred by the draft to enroll in ROTC, and found they actually liked military life. General Powell, for example, came from a nonmilitary background and attended the distinctly nonmilitary City University of New York. General Shalikashvili was a draftee. In some years of the early 1990s the Joint Chiefs contained more members who had come out of public universities than members who had gone the traditional routes of West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy. But the generation of draft-era officers is now retiring, and it is a virtual certainty that in twenty years the chairman of the Joint Chiefs will be a volunteer. All this will make it easier for the military and the liberal professionals of the middle class to look upon each other with contempt.
It is one matter to acknowledge that much in American society today is deserving of contempt. It is another matter to propose that the role of the U.S. military—especially an all-volunteer professional military oriented toward conservative Republicanism—is to fix those problems. Yet that is what some are doing. "It is no longer enough for Marines to 'reflect' the society they defend," Michael Wyly, a retired colonel, advised in the March, 1995, issue of the Marine Corps Gazette. "They must lead it, not politically but culturally. For it is the culture we are defending."
In some ways this is nothing new. The military can be seen as just reverting to its pre-Second World War and pre-Cold War stances—socially isolated, politically conservative, and working primarily on bases in the South and West. In The Professional Soldier, Janowitz wrote, "Military ideology has maintained a disapproval of the lack of order and respect for authority which it feels characterizes civilian society. . . . In the past most professional soldiers even felt that the moral fibre of American manpower was 'degenerating' and might not be able to withstand the rigors of battle."
There are two important differences between today's military and the military before the Second World War. First, it is far larger—some six times the size of the 244,000-man active-duty military of 1933. (Over the same period the U.S. population has merely doubled in size.) Second, it is frequently used as an instrument of national policy, as it was with the recent large deployments to Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia. Possibly a third major difference is its quality: for the first time in the nation's history the U.S. military is generally regarded as the best in the world. If, as now appears likely, it is cut significantly over the next ten years, frustrated officers may be more politically direct in expressing their resentment than they were in the past. It would be surprising if all were to adopt the stance of General Omar Bradley, who in a passage quoted by Janowitz commented, "Thirty-two years in the peacetime army had taught me to do my job, hold my tongue, and keep my name out of the papers."
There is widespread agreement that over the past few decades American society has become more fragmented, more individualistic, and less disciplined, with institutions such as church, family, and school wielding less influence. Whatever the implications of these changes, they put society at odds with the classic military values of sacrifice, unity, self-discipline, and considering the interests of the group before those of the individual.

Saudi Arabia spruns seat on U.N. Security Council
UNITED NATIONS — Just hours after winning a coveted place on the U.N. Security Council for the first time, Saudi Arabia did a stunning about-face Friday and rejected the seat, denouncing the body for failing to resolve world conflicts such as the Syrian civil war.
The unprecedented move at the United Nations appeared largely directed at Saudi Arabia's longtime ally, the United States, reflecting more than two years of frustration.

UltraBrowser 11.0
Quickly access some of the most popular web pages
Running the application brings up the main window which is equipped with quick access points stored in categories. These are found in an upper toolbar and you can choose from videos, social networks, web mails as well as popular web pages, found in a homonimous tab.
Additionally, you can translate any page with a single mouse click due to an integrated function. However, there is no possibility to add or remove any links to completely personalize the quick access points, but the amount of content it covers is enough to suit nearly any needs.
Manage favorites and search with various engines
The application gives you the possibility to store any page you frequently visit in a favorites manager. These are enlisted in a side panel you can toggle on or off if you want more view space. Moreover, several tabs let you quickly look up items of interest using some of the most popular search engines or even on media websites.
Furthermore, you can stay up to date with events around the world by hitting the "Media" button. It puts a list of news pages at your disposal, as well as videos, TV and radio. The only inconvenience is that you cannot add preferred links.
In conclusion
To sum it up, UltraBrowser comes equipped with a decent variety of features that make it a worthy alternative to the most commonly used web browsers. Navigation speed is decent and popular pages are organized by default in favorites and you can quickly access them. Don't hesitate to give this browser a try if you're looking to try something different.

La Velle E. Neal III has covered baseball for the Star Tribune since 1998 (the post-Knoblauch era). Born and raised in Chicago, he grew up following the White Sox and hating the Cubs. He attended both the University of Illinois and Illinois-Chicago and began his baseball writing career at the Kansas City Star. He can be heard occasionally on KFAN radio, lending his great baseball mind to Paul Allen and other hosts. Mark Rosen borrows him occasionally for WCCO-TV.
The Francisco Liriano era is officially over in Minnesota. The lefthander has agreed to a two year, $14 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to a source. The deal will be finalized once Liriano passes a physical.
Liriano was one of three pitchers the Twins received in exchange for catcher A.J. Pierzynski in 2003. Liriano reached the majors in 2005. but it was 2006 when he electrified Twins fans with a 12-3, 2.16 season. That season was cut short by a torn elbow ligament and, while he seemed to regain almost all his stuff from that injury, he couldn't become a top pitcher.
(What if moment: What if Liriano could have pitched in the postseason that year with Johan Santana?)
Liriano was 3-10 last season with a 5.31 ERA before being traded to the White Sox. The Twins discussed re-signing Liriano a few weeks ago but talks stalled.
The Twins have moved on, signing Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey. They are interested in Joe Saunders and Rich Harden, but I've heard that a couple other teams have stepped up their pursuit of Saunders. Stay tuned.

Decent Dry Bag
Member since
This dry bag does its job of keeping your stuff dry. It's not as thick as other ones that I've used but seems durable enough. The straps on it come in handy when portaging as they free up your arms to use. I was able to fit my 2P tent, sleeping bag, pillow and some fishing gear into the 70L bag and still had a little left over room.

the Institute for Healthcare Advancement sought to provide Head Start parents with the skills and knowledge to
The program provides training and information for implementing health care literacy programs.
During the research phase, the institute conducted a survey of Head Start families. The survey revealed that only 20 percent of families had any health care reference material at home. Less than 5 percent said that they would first refer to a book for information if a child was sick. Almost 70 percent of families said that they would first go to their doctor if a child was sick; 4.5 percent said they would visit the emergency room. Once training was provided, there was a tenfold increase (from 4.7 percent to 47.55 percent) in the families who first referred to a book for information when a child was ill.
Since the program began, HCI has engaged in training with 55 Head Start programs in 38 states, resulting in 14,000 families of ten different ethnicities receiving training in seven languages. Training sessions took place in the evening after work for three hours. In the training sessions, parents learned when it is necessary to keep a child home due to illness and how to use their interactions with doctors effectively. An important observation made was that training cannot consist simply of giving a book to the parents. It takes personal interaction with a person who can notice if a parent cannot read, who can help the parent use a book effectively, and who can help personalize the book and make it the parent's own. It takes someone whom the parents trust, who can sit down next to a parent and help him or her go through the materials. That, Person said, is what is special about Head Start and certain other community-based organizations.
Following the training there was a 42 percent drop in the number of doctor visits and a 58 percent drop in the number of emergency room visits. The institute was able to convince parents that doctors are resources, not only for medical care, but also for information and consultation. There was also a 29 percent drop in the average number of school days missed and a 42 percent drop in the average number of work days missed.
While the goal of training was not to save money, by decreasing doctor and emergency room visits, the savings per family trained was $554 per year. Given that there were approximately 9,000 Head Start families

Google maps indicated our trip to our new house would last in the range of 7 to 8 hours each way, depending on which route we took, so we figured with an early start we could turn it around in 16 to 18 hours – a long day, for sure, but possible (we have two cats and didn't want to leave them alone for 2 days) – but it turns out Google doesn't take into account road conditions or restrictions to speed limits, such as tight curvy dirt roads up and down mountains and the round trip took a whopping 25 hours.

Still Out and About – More Delays.
I can't believe the many wonderful changes happening in my life at present, on more than one front, some personal (all good, though) – Above and beyond packing and moving, things are still tremendously busy, and I still need to leave my desk and go into town for a day occasionally (this time to look at a car), and there are a couple of long weekends upon us.
Right, you got it, that means more delays in blogging from me.
Back on Track – Mostly.
It's been an interesting couple of weeks – as a sci-fi writer more in sync with a solitary lifestyle and ensconced in a silent office at home in a rural setting, it came as rather an aural shock to spend several days in the full hustle and bustle of city life while we got our signatures witnessed and various official forms lodged in our quest for a new house.
Getting up early is not problem, we rise between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m. on weekdays simply because my husband prefers to be at work by 7:00 (so he can finish earlier to gain us some semblance of an evening together) and needs to travel two hours each way into the city and out again. So, we were out of the house by 5:00, dodging kangaroos in the predawn light and admiring mist in the valleys and various town lights as we drove through them. I don't often get to see this, so all of it was wonderful, but at 7:00 a.m., I was released into an unfamiliar shopping mall to find my own way and to wait the day out (ten hours).
It was interesting and different, although I admit it grew into a field of noise and distraction. I hunted out quieter zones between coffee and pit stops as I bided my time without turning the whole into a shopping-fest. I'll have you know, I did very well. I know it sounds like a Whoopie moment with much shopping and merriment, but it was not that sort of visit. I bought a bunch of crossword books (Killer Sudoku, Kakuro and Cryptic Crosswords) which kept me quiet and mostly out of harm's way.
If It's Just A Cold, Why Does It Feel Like Bubonic Plague?
What a time to fall ill! A lot of things are happening, there's an interstate move coming up (any minute), which means packing and sorting, and then there's the third book in my science fiction series still to finish.
I'm not a tablet-taker, outside of coffee and alcohol (only occasionally now), I don't take drugs at all until I catch a cold or a flu and my nose is running and I can't sleep for choking on the stuff going down the back of my neck. So I hit the cold and flu tablets and the side-effects give me extra symptoms, mainly sleepy and queasy, although the lack of energy is more likely to be the bug itself and not the medicine.
A Snap Decision And A Leap! Our House in the Mountains!
It has all come together beautifully – and we've landed something special, a house at the Southern tip of the mountain range that runs down through New South Wales and into Victoria, incorporating the Snowy Mountains, Kosciuszko National Park (Mount Kosciuszko is Australia's tallest mountain) and Alpine National Park and others, with many mountains along the way.
On the NSW side, Mount Perisher's Ski Resort reports that the 2014 snow season has seen some of the biggest snowfalls in decades with over two metres of snow falling in a two week period and has extended it's skiing season all the way to Oct 10 (Australia is officially in Spring now). We're moving beyond Perisher, further south (away from the sun) and into the next state, Victoria, so let's hope it's not snowing during any part of our move!
The house itself is three bedrooms in glorious isolation, with a romantic open fireplace and a combustion stove in another room which will probably be my choice of office. I'm not sure, as yet. Why am I not sure? Because, although we intended to, we haven't actually seen the house. It was a snap decision and a leap, and that makes it even more exciting. :D
THE KNIFE! From The Khekarian Threat, out now on Amazon.
Sturn grabbed at her shirt as he reached her, ripping it open with his left hand, his right swinging into action with the knife even as Aleisha gave a squeal of terror.
Moving House… Maybe.
We may have a move on the way – I wasn't going to mention it until we were sure, but our preparations are impinging on my blogging activity, which is why my posts have suddenly dropped away.
I will do my best to post at least once a day and will certainly continue my 'Wilderness Adventures', but there will be times (as you may already have noticed) that I don't make it in at all.
We are still waiting for final confirmation and once we get that, I can tell you more about where we are going to and what's happening.

*AND BTW YOU DONT NEED TO TURN ON AIRPLANE MODE, that's unnecessary; this way works for me*
Answer from: Fhabbullouse
On gardening I'd choose. Beans then hit home change time and date go back to the previous year go to the game then hit home again then change to the proper year then go to the game wala!!! The gardening is done
Answer from: Mysterey
One cheat I know is the bean cheat but it's sorta different from the other ones people have told you... Ok so first of all you don't have to use airplane mode that takes up to much time. But what you do is get all your sims in one house (10 people per house) and make sure you have a gardening place for all of them. Next tell all your sims to plant beans and make sure you have enough money beans are expensive. Okay so now that you have go all your sims planting beans press the home button (aka some people don't know what that is the round button with a square in it on the bottom of your iPodis the home button) okay so after pressing the home button click it again twice kind of fast like and then when you see sims press on it for like five sec or until it starts to gets minuses then click the minus button on sims freeplay then press the home button again go to settings and then general and click on date and time then change it to a year later then go back to sims freeplay and If all your sims are still working click the Map and then go back and you will get money and XP and all your sims will be inspired!!!
Answer from: Katness
Ok first do this:

Answer from: He says hes mad
6. Go back to time and date, and put it to the date you were before. In my case, 2012 because it's not 2013 yet. I saw this on super cheats and it gives me 10000 almost everytime. Keep set atoumatic off and it glitches less. It works with assisstive touch but glitches more often
