Hypervenom Phantom Firm Ground Cleats by Nike
Hypervenom is the new name in speed for soccer footwear. Designed from the ground up for blazing fast game play, these cleats are trusted by attacking soccer stars like Wayne Rooney and Neymar to complement the speedy way they play. Shop now to get a pair of Hypervenom Phantom Firm Ground Cleats from soccerloco featuring a unique, limited edition reflective white color way.
NikeSkin technology in the shoe's upper makes use of a single thin layer of polyurethane that forms to your foot for maximum comfort and control without bulky material that can weigh a shoe down. The thin material brings you closer to the ball for precision control while you're shooting down the field. A molded sockliner with a built-in heel cup inside the shoe provides comfortable support that will move and adapt with you throughout the game as you run. The nylon chassis forms a solid base that directs force around your foot to reduce cleat pressure and creates a responsive feel. The outsole is made of tough Pebax plastic and features a split-toe design for natural movement and conical cleats that bite into the ground for maximum traction. Get yourself a new pair of Nike Hypervenom Phantom firm ground cleats today from soccerloco so you can play with the confidence of Rooney and Neymar next time you take the field.

Meridian Health Plan Achieves Top Quality Scores In Illinois
CHICAGO, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Meridian Health Plan achieves and exceeds NCQA HEDIS performance benchmarks for the third consecutive year in key State of Illinois quality measures. Meridian specifically excelled in measures related to prevention and screening among Medicaid children and adults, as well as access to care measures for preventive and ambulatory care. These results were presented by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) at their recent stakeholder meeting on November 7, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.
Meridian is one of three Voluntary Managed Care (VMC) plans in Illinois and has been operating in the state since 2008. Meridian had the highest scores among all plan data that was presented at the HFS stakeholder meeting. Meridian met or exceeded the 90 th percentile in the following measures in 2012: Childhood Immunization Status – Combo 3, Lead Screening in Children, Well-Care Visits in the First 15 months (6 or more visits), Well-Child Visits for ages 3-6 years, Adolescent Well-Care Visits, Cervical Cancer Screening for Women (Pap tests), Timeliness of Prenatal and Postpartum Care and Access to Care for Adults and Children. Given that the Prenatal and Postpartum Care results are comprised of the majority of Meridian membership, Meridian is particularly proud of having remained in the 90 th percentile for this measure for the past three years. In addition, Meridian demonstrated a 100% score in the Children Access to Care measures for ages 12-24 months.
Meridian's Illinois President and CEO, Michael D. Cotton, identified that these high performing quality scores are the result of the company's dedication to improving the quality of care in a low resource environment. "Meridian has invested extensive resources and training to ensure that continuous quality improvement strategies are part of our daily operations. Meridian continuously tracks and monitors performance and compares results to national benchmarks. We expect to have continued high quality scores in Illinois and in all states where we operate."
Meridian was recently awarded a contract expansion in Illinois to serve Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (SPD) as an expansion of the Integrated Care Program, as well as to serve Dual Eligibles under the Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Initiative (MMAI) and expects that these programs will be operational later in 2013.

While the last few years have witnessed the closure of more than a few local businesses, Dutch Bros. of Arizona — the local franchise of the popular Oregon-based family of drive-thru coffee kiosks — has continued to expand in the Valley.
The first Arizona store opened in the East Valley in August of 2007, during the crest of financial stability that led right up to when the recession began.
Now boasting eight stores in Arizona — including three in Tempe and one each in Gilbert and Mesa — and another three slated for openings next year, Dutch Bros. will not be slowing its growth, said Jim Thompson, Dutch Bros. of Arizona franchise owner.
Starting in Tempe, the local franchise tried to replicate the coffee culture that permeates much of the Pacific Northwest.
"It seemed like there was a place for this kind of business," said Thompson, who is from Oregon.
Rather than a destination, drive-thru coffee stands are intended to fit into a customer's lifestyle while they are on their way somewhere else.
"When we first opened, we had a lot of people park their car and walk up to the window," Thompson said with a laugh. "We had to put up signs that said 'drive-thru.'"
Like with all things drive-thru, Dutch Bros. has a tradition of speed; the company prides itself on being fast.
While drive-thru coffee stands are common in the Northwest, the concept seemed underdeveloped in Arizona, Thompson said.
Dutch Bros. was originally started in Grants Pass, Ore., by Travis and Dane Boersma — two brothers who Thompson had known for years as friends of his son. More than 150 stores are located throughout California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington — as well as Arizona.
Thompson had retired from a career in automotive sales in Oregon, but found himself spending a lot of time in Phoenix.
Thompson, however, loved the easy winters and the constant sunshine. Hoping to keep himself busy and spend even more time in the Valley, Thompson opened his first coffee stand in 2007 with his wife, Janice McCarthy.
Through the franchise's first three years, six drive-thru coffee shops were opened, including four in 2009.
The difference that Dutch Bros. brings to coffee, Thompson said, is in the product, service and quality.
"We don't nickel and dime you," Thompson said.
He tries to mean that literally — coffee prices are in 25 cent increments, tax is included and syrups and milk options are free.
Even the rewards program, a stamp card that allows a free drink every 11th drink, is more frequent than Dutch Bros. largest competitor, Thompson said, which gives a free drink every 15th purchase.
"We give 10,000 free drinks each month just off of those cards," Thompson said.
When the newest location opened at Rural and Guadalupe roads in Tempe on Veterans Day, the branch served more than 3,500 cups of free coffee.
Additionally, Thompson sees it as his duty to give back to the community by hosting fundraisers for causes such as breast cancer research. The company has a corporate policy where one percent of gross sales are donated back to the community.
The coffee taste is unique, derived from a three-coffee-bean blend, Thompson said. While the blend incorporates beans from three different regions, the exact recipe is a company secret.
And while the company expects fast, inexpensive service, Thompson requires a certain personality from his baristas to complete the experience.
"We look for a very specific type of person," Thompson said. "If you have the right personality, that's what makes a difference. You can teach most people to make coffee."
Most of the baristas are young and in college, as the shift lengths make it easy to schedule around classes, Thompson said.
In November, Dutch Bros. of Arizona implemented an earth-friendly program that turns nearly 80 percent of what used to be trash into recyclables.

Longtime pol Vargas readies for new D.C. post
Filner's response was to challenge Vargas to buy him that beer.
"We chatted and I wound up putting my volunteers to work for him," Vargas said, adding the two didn't revisit past grudges. "I don't know if we could because they were such bitter fights. We just agreed to let it all go and forgive and forget."
Vargas was able to throw his volunteers to Filner because Vargas had engineered the primary to remove his main obstacle, fellow Democrat and former state Sen. Denise Ducheny. Vargas figured he and Ducheny were likely to emerge from the June primary as the top two vote-getters and move on to the general election under California's new open primary system.
To block her, Vargas send out mailers promoting the severely underfunded and outgunned Crimmins. It worked, as Crimmins ran second and Ducheny was eliminated.
Vargas is known by his family and close friends as "Paco," a name he picked when he was young boy growing up on a chicken ranch.
The third of 10 children, he was a heavy child, and a friend of his father's compared him to a bale of hay. Paca is Spanish for bale, and over the years the name morphed into Paco.
He heads to Washington knowing that as a freshman lawmaker, he has little chance to write major legislation. But he can influence federal policy, and he and the county's other newly elected House Democrat, Scott Peters, are talking about ways they can work together for the region.
Along those lines, Vargas is planning to invite Peters and the delegation's third Democrat, Rep. Susan Davis, along with GOP Reps. Duncan Hunter and Darrell Issa over to dinner.
"They're all good people, and while we may disagree on some issues, there are a lot of areas where we can all work together."
Hunter said there are plenty of opportunities for across-the-aisle collaboration.
"And there are some things on which we'll surely disagree," Hunter said. "On immigration, border security needs to come first and foremost, so anyone who is interested in working toward that goal will find plenty of inviting and enthusiastic partners in the House."
After leaving the Jesuits, Vargas went on to earn a Harvard law degree, leading to an insurance industry practice.
One of his Harvard classmates was Barack Obama, and Vargas matched up against the president on the basketball court on a couple of occasions.
"I wasn't very good offensively, but I wasn't bad on defense," Vargas said. "But he took it to me every time."

Fountain Valley firefighters, engineers and paramedics hosted an open house at the city's Fire Station No. 1 Saturday as part of Fire Prevention Week.
The annual event is a chance for the public to see inside fire stations and learn about what firefighters do, said Rory Calhoun, fire chief-on-duty.
Fire vehicles including a fire truck and ambulance were on display, and guests were invited to try on nearly 50 pounds of firefighting gear at a dressing station.
Safety tips shared with visitors included the following:
� Watch your cooking and don't leave a lit stove unattended even for a short time.
� Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn.
� Smoke outside. Ask smokers to smoke outside.
� Keep matches and lighters out of reach, preferably in cabinet with a child-safe lock.
� Inspect electrical cords and replace any that are cracked or damaged.
� Install smoke alarms on every level of your home. Change the batteries every year.
� Have a home fire-escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.
� Keep candles at least 1 foot away from anything that can burn.
� Test smoke alarms at least once a month. Replace any smoke alarm that is more 10 years old.
� Install sprinklers. If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers.

Timing of pay negotiations and accepting a job. - page 2
I hope to accept my first travel assignment soon. My question is, do I get submitted and accepted to a job and then negotiate pay and compensation. Or do I negotiate all aspects of compensation before being submitted? It seems... Read More
- 0Oct 3, '12 by StrawberrykoolQuote from picknendersAre you affiliated with AMN?Ned - You are exactly right in what you say. I had never recruited prior to working for On Assignment, so it was a whole new ballgame for me. Yes, unfortunately there are negotiations that do occur. However, all of our jobs are put in to our system at our required margin - Many agencies are contracted with the same hospital - however, the majority of those are contracted through vendor managers who charge universal bill rates - on the flip side, there are still hospitals out there who have direct agencies and they do not work with other travel companies. The other aspect not being considered by your point above is the commission structure of the recruiter. Some agencies pay their recruiters exactly like car salesmen - the greater the gross margin on the particular nurse, the greater the commission. We pay recruiters based on full time RNs working. This means there is no reason to withold money from the RN. Of course I've had to negotiate and of course I feel that the compensation should be higher based on the experience and specialty of the RN. Unfortunately, we don't bill the hospital differently if we send them a RN of 25 years or an RN of 2 years. That's why I say if you set your standards appropriately in the beginning, there should be no need for negotiating.
There's no doubt that you are well in-tune with the travel industry - I'd say probably more so than I am. However, I thought it would be nice to lend a different perspective to some of the questions on here. I definitely respect all of your knowledge!
- 0Oct 3, '12 by NedRNI can answer that: no! However OA may well provide travelers through AM to their (semi) exclusive contracts with the Kaiser hospital chain and Stanford. In the past, OA risisted even this mightily, preferring instead to contract directly with Kaiser when AM failed with better paying rapid response assignments.
- 0Oct 4, '12 by picknendersNed is right. Not affiliated with AMN (aside from staffing some of their direct accounts). Now that the market is transitioning to a vendor managed business, we as a company had to adapt and work with more vm's and less direct clients. It pushes bill rates down and in turn the pay to you. If you are able to land a gig with an agency who is a direct filler for the hospital, chances are the pay will be significantly higher, as there isn't a "middle man" taking a cut.
- 0Oct 4, '12 by StrawberrykoolI, from experience with taking an assignment that was thru AMN. My agency had a contract thru them. I got more money with AMN as the middle man. When I tried to do a contract with AMN they tried to offer me 200 less and no car or any perks.

Green Wheels: The Most Expensive Cars
What's the most expensive car in the world? I had reason to think about this while writing about the Porsche 918 Spyder, which is a plug-in hybrid with 16 miles of all-electric range. But it's also a fire-breathing supercar that can reach 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and top 199 mph. The bottom line? A mere $845,000. Wow, that's a lotta loot.
But it's not the most expensive car you can buy right now. I thought the top spot was held by the 1,001-horsepower Bugatti Veyron 16.4, which I seemed to recall costs a million dollars. It turns out the price is actually way more than that — the bottom line is well over $2 million if you opt for the Grand Sport version. Which, of course, you're going to do because who'd want to pay that much for a car knowing there was a more exclusive version out there?
And it turns out there are really, really expensive cars on the market that are so exclusive I've never even heard of them. Here are a few:
The Pagani Zonda Cinque Coupe. This Italian supercar is a mere $1.738 million, and built in an edition of only five. Exclusiveness outweighs the fact that it's kind of ugly. The prettier Zonda F Roadster is a mere $1.44 million. But you'll want the Cinque, because its 678-horsepower V12 takes it to 217 mph, and because you're not going to see another one in the WalMart parking lot. They made only one of the Absolute variant, and shipped it to Hong Kong. I couldn't find a fuel economy rating, but it isn't going to compete with a Prius.
Koenigsegg CCXR. This oddly named entity offers a stunning 806 horsepower from a twin-supercharged V8. You pay for engines like that, in this case $1.2 million. The car delivers just 11 mpg, but it can run on E85 ethanol!
Maybach Landaulet. This is one of the few cars here built for parades, not the race track — though it's fast, too. A proud descendant of the Mercedes 600 Pullman, which was mostly bought by African dictators, the Maybach Landaulet allows its potentate owner to enjoy al fresco waving to his subjects, and for just $1.38 million. The Maybach, a Daimler product, gets 10 mph in town, and an amazingly good 16 on the highway. If you don't need the parade roof (or if the population is restive), go for the enclosed Maybach 62 Zeppelin, which is less than half the price and still plenty exclusive. It comes with champagne flutes.
Spyker C8 Aerilon Spyder. This is the supercar company that bought Saab. I interviewed CEO Victor Muller and found him refreshingly candid. The mid-engined C8, with a 40-valve V8, tops out at 187 mph. Since that's well short of 200 mph, the price is a mere $219,190. Muller is making Saabs now, but Spyker survives to bedazzle other kazillionaires. Expect just 13 mpg.
The millionaire playboy market can't be huge, but there's a lot of competition. In addition to the above, there are such cars as the Leblanc Mirabeau ($861,798), the Lamborghini Reventon ($1.45 million) and the SSC Ultimate Aero ($740,000). If you have an open shirt, medallions and millions of dollars burning a hole in your pocket, there are plenty of people willing to take your unearned money.Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

Commercial Real Estate Gets a Fed Jolt
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York's sale of $7.5 billion of once-toxic commercial real estate debt last week is being applauded by investors as a slam dunk that may revive the moribund sector.
"It was very well received," said Edward L. Shugrue III, CEO of commercial real estate advisory firm Talmage. "It was a thoughtful and adroit move by the Fed and the timing was impeccable."
Last week the Fed said that it had sold an entire portion of American International Group's (AIG) debt -- known as MAX CDO" -- to a group of bidders that included Barclays Capital (BCS) and Deutsche Bank (DB). The CDO (short for collateralized debt obligation) consisted of a large bundle of commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) debt wrapped up into a single security that eventually went south on AIG.
The MAX CDO was purchased away from AIG during the height of the financial crisis, and the sale is part of a bigger government auction of AIG debt taken on by the Fed called the Maiden Lane III transactions.Shugrue said the sale of MAX CDO -- and the subsequent flood into the commercial real estate market of its parts as Barclays and Deutsche Bank break it up -- proves that commercial real estate debt may be ready for a comeback as investors search for higher yielding products. "Until this week the net supply of CMBS has been shrinking, but this sale proves that there is rich demand across the sector," Shugrue said. "The risk trade is on, and banks, money managers and hedge funds were eager to snap this up." A report issued by Barclays last week echoed Shugrue's assertion that investors were ready to take on more commercial real estate debt. "For this week at least, it looks as if the CMBS market has been able to take down much of this new supply with little effect on prices."

Shorter, wetter Bethpage still a test
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – Yes, officials pushed up some tees, so Bethpage Black wasn't stretched to the 7,426 yards that is available. And yes, fairways were soft and wide and greens were soft and dartboard-like, but still, there are serious challenges out here.
Take the par-4 seventh hole, for instance. It can play as much as 525 yards, though officials for the first round had it at 489. But with a sharp dogleg right and a bit of a hurting wind, it was all players could handle. Want proof? Geoff Ogilvy needed to hit driver, 3-wood to reach. Worked out pretty good, too, as his sizzling approach was jammed just 12 feet behind the hole. It resulted in Ogilvy's only birdie of the day as he shot 73.
And just when was the last time he made a birdie by hitting a 3-wood into a par 4? Ogilvy smiled and said, "A long time ago. I can't even remember."

Lawmakers Split on Cutting Aid to Egypt
WASHINGTON, DC (AP) -- Members of Congress are split over whether the U.S. should cut off military aid to Egypt in light of the deadly violence there.
Democratic leaders have generally supported the president's decision to continue the aid, but Rep. Keith Ellison wants to halt it. The Minnesota Democrat tells ABC's "This Week" that the U.S. should "cut off aid but engage in intense diplomacy."
Ellison says aid should be suspended until Egypt ends "the bloodshed in the street" and sets up a path toward democracy. Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress and is co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Among Republicans, there are growing calls to eliminate military aid to Egypt. But others are more hesitant, including Peter King of New York, who chairs the House panel on counterterrorism and intelligence. King tells "Fox News Sunday" that curtailing aid could reduce U.S. influence over Egypt's interim government, which controls access to strategic resources, including the Suez Canal.
On CNN's "State of the Union," John McCain renewed his call to stop the aid. The senior Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said "to sit by and watch this happen is a violation of everything that we stood for."

I got a Remington 742 .30-06 for my BIL. I did not realize until we went to the range, it has a left handed safety. BIL is right handed so I want to switch it out for him.
My limited research indicates some of the 80's Remmys had reversible safeties. Does anyone know if the 742 is ini that era? If so, a short tutorial would be uber cool.
If not, I am sure there are some lefties that might like to swap.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

The Canadian dollar fell to the lowest level against its U.S. counterpart since July as policy makers in the world's largest economy seek to avoid budget cuts, known as sequestration, set to begin next month.
The loonie, as the currency is nicknamed, declined for a third straight day as West Texas Intermediate oil extended the biggest drop in two weeks while Brent crude was little changed. Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said in a CTV News interview on Feb. 15 that recent signs of weakness in the housing market may persist over several years.
Canada's dollar is "quite weak," Camilla Sutton, head of currency strategy at Bank of Nova Scotia, said by phone from Toronto. "Anything that's negative for U.S. gross domestic product is negative for Canada."
The loonie fell 0.3 percent to C$1.0135 per U.S. dollar at 8:17 a.m. in Toronto, the weakest since July 26. One loonie buys 98.69 U.S. cents.
U.S. lawmakers agreed to automatic spending cuts, to be spread over nine years, as part of a 2011 fiscal deal to raise the debt limit. The reductions were supposed to be so onerous that Congress and the president would never let them occur and would find a plan to replace them. The U.S. is Canada's largest trade partner.

Artist Maureen Claffy will showcase her artwork in the stately building on the corner of Washington and First streets in downtown Hinsdale for a limited time.
The Hinsdale native has rented the space, which formerly housed a bank and the Gap, through Thursday, May 15, to coincide with Mother's Day, as she did last year. Claffy will donate 10 percent of her sales to the Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills District 181 Foundation and to the Hinsdale Central PTO.
After graduating from Hinsdale Central High School in 1986, Claffy majored in English Literature and French at the University of Illinois in Champaign. While she was studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France, Claffy accompanied her friend to a life drawing class.
"I just knew when I took that class, that was what I was meant to do," Claffy said.
She returned to Illinois, got her degree as planned, and got married. As a newlywed, she began taking classes at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. When her husband's job took them to Dublin, Ireland, in 2005, Claffy took private art lessons there.
"So much of my early work had the Celtic scroll or the Gordian knot in it," she said.
Intertwining circles were an image that stayed with her.
"I almost never use straight lines when I paint," Claffy said.
Her abstract paintings feature fluid lines, vivid colors and organic shapes.
Since 2007, she has been taking classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. Claffy finds it invigorating because she never had been part of an artistic community before.
"I work out of my home. What used to be my master bedroom is my studio where I paint with acrylics. Downstairs in the kitchen and the dining room is where I paint watercolors. I work on maybe eight paintings at a time," she said.
Claffy creates paintings based on different themes, such as butterflies, angels, quilting and knitting.
"I used to knit and make blankets all the time. That was my art form."
When she was caring for a sick child, Claffy said, "All I could do was knit to calm myself."
In her paintings, knitting symbolizes the love between a mother and child.
"When you knit two stitches together, they lay over each other so beautifully, you can't tell one from the other," she said.
In addition to painting, Claffy created a handmade jewelry line with her now 24-year-old daughter, Mary-Margaret Kunze, called Bloodline.
"It started out very much as a family thing," Claffy said. "We gave them to people we love."
The pieces are made of metals, such as copper, brass, and silver, stones and at least one trademark red bead.
When her daughter moved to Los Angeles two years ago, Claffy packed up all the materials and equipment and sent them to her.
"She has made it her own. She obviously has this gift for designing," Claffy said of her daughter's shared passion for the arts.
Bloodline jewelry will be sold with Claffy's original paintings and prints in the temporary gallery, at 101 S. Washington, Hinsdale.
A preview party is open to the public from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. tonight, May 8.
The studio also will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday, May 12 to Thursday, May 15.

The AUD is currently $0.98 to the USD and predicted to hit parity and soar as high as $1.02 to the USD come March 2011. Quite a far cry from, say May 2010, when the greenback was 12% stronger!
While the local tourism authorities (and the education sector) are probably going to have alot to worry about (thank God the Oprah deal was penned when the AUD wasn't so strong), the strong AUD is going to be of enormous benefit to outbound Australian travellers.
Value-for-money Destinations
The news focus might be on the AUD performance against the USD, but the AUD has also strengthened against a whole lot of other currencies. The US, being far away, tends to be more expensive to get to. Besides, not everyone might have set the US at the top of their travel list. As such, savvy travellers should consider visiting destinations closer to home. New Zealand, for example, offers particularly good value. 1AUD gets you NZ1.30. That's 30% EXTRA value per dollar. Also a great time for Australian-based Kiwis to take a holiday back home (don't forget to bring presents!). Slightly further afield, Malaysia is particularly attractive as 1AUD gets you MYR3.04. That's 300% to the dollar. And things in Malaysia aren't too dear. For example, you could have a bowl of laksa in Penang for MYR3. That's the equivalent for one Australian dollar. A similar bowl of laksa would cost AUD10 back home.
Couple this with the cheap deals that budget airlines such as Air Asia are offering, and you'll have a holiday for not very much. Air Asia for example, runs sales that knock one-way tickets to Kuala Lumpur down to AUD99 to AUD128. From KL, you can easily pick another flight to parts of Asia. Air Asia tickets toBali drop as low as AUD125 during a sale. This advice also applies to other parts of Asia. Even usually pricey Singapore hasn't been spared: AUD1 gets you SGD1.28.
And let's not overlook Europe. That dream holiday might actually be affordable now! Currently, 1AUD = €0.70/£0.61. Compare this to May this year when the Euro was tracking at €0.66 in May this year and even worse last year.
If you do want to visit the US, there are ways to ensure that your money goes a long(er) way. You could exchange money while the AUD is high for future use. Of course, you have to weigh this against whether you'd earn more money with interest in a savings account (minus tax on interest of course). And then you'd have to find a safe place to store all that cash (a home safe or safety deposit box at a bank for example).
Another smart tip would be to use a US-based travel agent to book your domestic US air/train tickets or local tours for a future date. Most times, you only finalise payment when tickets are issued. In the case of tour, you could leave a deposit and finalise payment closer to the departure date. This means that booking a ticket/tour for March 2011 might mean you'll get savings if the greenback further depreciates against the AUD.
Gap Year and Exchange Programmes
Another less-obvious thing to consider would be to take a study break or gap year overseas. Or do an exchange programme if you're still at University. Heading off to the US not only offers a cultural kick, but you get bang for buck on everything from accommodation to food.
If you've ever considered volunteering, the strong AUD also means that many of the volunteering packages come down in price as quite a few of them use the USD for pricing.
Shopping and Finance
Of course, don't forget to leave room in your luggage for when you go shopping on your holiday. The strong Aussie dollar means potential savings if you purchase things overseas. In the US, search out for the many factory outlet malls for big discounts. If you have somewhere you can mail things to (a friend's house, a hotel where you'll be staying at, etc), you can order online to save on sales tax. As long as the item is shipped out of a different state as the one you're in, you won't pay sales tax. For example, an 8GB iPod Nano currently costs AUD199 in Australia. It costs the equivalent of AUD153 in the US. That's almost a good 25% cheaper than buying in Australia.
Electronic goods are particular cheap in Hong Kong and Singapore as well. Please remember to find out if you can claim your tax back on purchases. For example, you can claim the 7% GST on purchases made in Singapore and VAT in Europe. Draw up that want list and get ready to spend!
If you want to use your credit card overseas, please look out for cards that don't slug you with fees for using them overseas or for taking a cash advance. A simple google search should toss up a few options.
Time to start planning that holiday!

Password Reset Disk - How To Create a Windows Vista Password Reset Disk - Windows Vista Password
cant get past the logon screen so cant do but thanks
currently looking at UBCD to see if that could work.
ultimate boot cd for windows works fine for this in xp and works everytime so i would expect it to work in vista although never tried...
cheers ill have a go now and let you know
Have had this same problem several times myself
I have a cd that can reset passwords in vista for obvios reasons not going to post details online but if interested could burn a copy for you and post it over of even put up on our ftp server for download
Im trying to log on to a vista home premier machine as administrator but I cant seem to find a way to change the log on name from the normal user to administrator. All there is is a password field.
the admin account is disabled by default you will need to enable it.
right click the Command prompt icon in start menu select run as administrator.
now type "net user administrator /active:yes"
log out and you should see admin account
to disable do same but type "net user administrator /active:no"
hope this helps

Useful for future reference thanks..
but in this case I dont know the user's password so was trying to just log in as administrator hoping the password would be blank like most xp installs.
Its no big deal Ill just need to find the teacher to ask her the password.
the ultimate boot cd works fine
Ultimate Boot CD - Overview
burn iso to disk
boot from disk
filesystem tools
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
follow the instructions to remove the password.
but yeah asking the teachers is much easier
