Does anyone know of a calculator that would show what it would cost to buy insurance under Obamacare? I don't mean the tax penalty if you don't buy it. I want to know what it would cost our family. When I tried one calculator, I got this... I cannot find any to tell me the actual cost, just the penalty.
Starting in 2014:You will have the option of buying a health plan through your state's exchange. Based on your income, you probably would not qualify for federal assistance to offset the cost of that plan. Insurers can't discriminate against you for having a pre-existing condition, and can only vary rates within a narrow range.
If you do not obtain insurance coverage by 2014 you will be assessed a tax penalty. The penalty becomes progressively greater from 2014 through 2016, when it reaches full strength. At that point, assuming your current income remains the same and your household consists of 2 uninsured adults and 3 uninsured children, your family would be subject to a penalty of about $2,433. You are exempt from the penalty if the least expensive plan option in your area exceeds eight percent of your income.
I found one.
If there are any others, please post.

Im looking for a standalone pad controller to load and play my own samples on. Something like the Novation Lauchpad. The Novation Lauchpad must be connected to computer with Albeton Live to play the samples. Im looking for a device I can connect to my PC and load my own samples on it and disconnect it and connect it in a dj mixer in a club and play my samples without connecting it to a PC. I guess it would save the samples on the devices.

If you're a credentialed journalist for a media outlet, you can receive the latest issues and topics in food and nutrition delivered direct to your inbox.
Media Contacts: Ryan O'Malley, Allison MacMunn 800/877-1600, ext. 4769, 4802 email@example.com
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics praises the Senate Agriculture Committee for approving legislation that will fund key nutrition programs that empower Americans with the knowledge to make healthful food choices.
"The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP-Ed) and Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) funded in the Farm Bill and provided in community settings have been shown to improve healthful eating behaviors to help reduce chronic disease," said registered dietitian and Academy President Sylvia A. Escott-Stump.
"In addition, the Academy commends efforts to maintain the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program for students to help develop life-long healthful eating habits," Escott-Stump said.
The Academy thanks Sens. Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) and Pat Roberts (Kan.) for their bipartisan leadership in developing a draft bill that will help improve the health of Americans through good nutrition.
"We realize we are in tough economic times, but the Academy urges the committee not to cut access for many Americans who rely on SNAP to feed their families," Escott-Stump said. "Often overlooked is the fact that SNAP reduced the poverty rate by nearly 8 percent in 2009, a significant factor for families and communities."
SNAP also helps stimulate the local economy at a time when it is most needed. For every $5 in new SNAP benefits $9.20 is generated in total economic activity.
"It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that systematic and sustained action is needed to achieve food and nutrition security for all in the United States. Therefore, the Academy will continue to work with these Congressional leaders to make sure all Americans have access to healthy and safe foods. We will also work to make sure there is funding for nutrition research in the bill, so future decisions are made based on evidence, with solid science to back them up," Escott-Stump said.
The Academy will continue its efforts with other key partners in the public health, anti-hunger and agriculture communities to help assure passage of an effective Farm Bill.

So, Mike Gillis wasn't happy with an editorial published in the Province on Friday, suggesting the Canucks should trade Roberto Luongo for Vincent Lecavalier. Gillis was so unhappy that he decided to unexpectedly call the Team 1040 to voice his concerns (well, particularly with the fact that the editorial had no byline).
The Province's editor-in-chief, Wayne Moriarty, came on the same radio station a little later to defend the piece and now this has become a huge issue when really, there shouldn't have been an issue at all.
As an editor-in-chief myself, not to mention the fact that I follow the Canucks religiously, this dispute really hit close to home.
As Moriarty pointed out, there are very few newspapers around the world that actually reveal the author's name in editorials. Why? Because editorials don't necessarily reflect the view of one person. They're discussed thoroughly by an editorial board, which eventually arrives at a consensus.
The Charlatan publishes two editorials every week. Our editorial board, which is comprised of 12 individuals, decides on the topic/premise of said editorials. One of those 12 individuals will write the piece, but it isn't fair to attach their name to it. The editorial reflects the view of the paper, and the editor-in-chief is responsible for everything that goes into the paper. I thought that was pretty clear. I guess not.
I've taken the heat a few times for editorials we've run at the Charlatan. It's no fun, but I understand that I'm accountable for everything we publish. If Gillis' main concern was a lack of accountability, he should have gone to Moriarty directly, as opposed to a radio station that really had nothing to do with it.
Lastly, for those suggesting this editorial didn't belong in the Province's news section, here's some news for you: it wasn't. It was in the paper's opinions section. Sure, the opinions section usually tackles bigger issues related to the paper's news coverage, but there's absolutely no reason they can't be weighing in on sports issues, too. Clearly, it's something people care about.
In this case, though, I really hope someone from the Province sports department was sitting on that editorial board. Otherwise, my view on this would probably change drastically.
All that said, I think the trade proposal itself was a little silly. While it may make sense in theory, I really don't see a Luongo/Lecavalier swap happening.
Just my two cents.

Does it all add up?
We've had some questions from potential Makers about costs associated with being a Maker. We don't want Makers to end up really out of pocket when they're spreading the joys of Making.
- We'll be providing light refreshments to keep Makers hydrated and fuelled.
- If you plan to run a make and take workshop, you can ask visitors for a contribution to cover the materials they use. You must look after this yourself, so consider how you will deal with the security of any cash and bring a float for change.
- Makers can claim some expenses.
In other words, please don't let the cost of getting here or buying materials that will be used up in demos put you off applying – let's chat.
Our Maker expenses policy
Some expenses will be available for Makers to help with fuel, van hire or event related materials. Please enquire in advance if you need these. If you're going to ask visitors for a contribution for any workshop materials they use, you can't claim for these again through the museum. Expenses will be distributed at the discretion of the museum. The amounts disbursed will be linked to the community benefit achieved.

Recently all kinds of noodles tend to rule our family diet. It's tasty, quick and easy to make. After eating one plate you feel full for the rest of the day. To be totally honest I just have better things to do than cooking at the moment… (Handimania crafts my world). Spaghetti with garlic and zucchini the same with tomato and garlic and again garlic and olive oil, each day different variation of it. That's why I felt so enormously happy when I found this Rigatoni Pasta Pie recipe.
It's a bit like a lasagna but way easier to prepare. Those Rigatonis could simply lay down on the plate mixed up with bolognese sauce but instead they "decided" to stand up and I bet this simple fact changes the taste for better.
I like when food surprises me with it's shapes, the way it's been served, colors ect. and here I've got all this. I think you all love Italian food that's why I'm sure after reading this and looking at the pictures you wouldn't resist doing this pasta pie and sharing it with us. I have got a feeling your kids would love it too, just don't exaggerate with cheese, please! ;)
What you need:
P.S. I recommend you to read all comments under the recipe as there you can find many useful tips on making this excellent Italian meal.

I think I know this language quite ok, but want to have a good pronounciation too :)
"I think I have a pretty good grasp of this language, but I want to have good pronunciation as well."
It is not so simple an issue. There are many accents in English as spoken in America.
Indeed, in Southern Dialects alone, I think some expert determined that there were over 10 dialects of "Southern" English.
There are any number of Country Western singers, both male and female, which can show you the slow pronucation and carefully enunciated English as spoken by many Americans.
An accent from New York City and its nearby areas is not going to be quite neutral enough for you.
Neither will the dialect as spoken in Simi Valley California serve you well.
If you seek out the male country singer, Don Williams, and study his performance of
"I Believe In Love" or "Good Ole Boys Like Me" you will have a strong idea of the sound you might like.
As to female vocalists, Patsy Cline is excellent, when she sings, "Crazy," "I Go Walkin' After Midnight," and "I Fall To Pieces".
Why do you want to have a good American accent?
american doesnt really care about accent.. anyway if u want to have an american accent watch lots of american show and try to follow how they speak. read books loudly using american accent. finally talk to american personally or by calling.

Deciduous, Edible fruit, Trees
Known botanically as Ziziphus jujuba and pronounced joo-JOOB, jujube has been cultivated for millennia in its native China. Its datelike fruit grows on a tree to 15–20 ft. (possibly 30 ft.) tall and 10–15 ft. wide. Branches are spiny, gnarled, and somewhat pendulous. Glossy green, 1 1/2-in. leaves have three prominent veins and turn yellow in fall. Clusters of small yellowish flowers appear in late spring or summer. Round to oval fruit with a central pit matures in fall; it can be eaten fresh or dried. Attractive silhouette, foliage, and fruit, as well as toughness, make this a good decorative tree, especially for the high desert.
The dried fruits look and taste like dates—for that reason, the plant is sometimes called Chinese date. Fruit may not ripen fully on the tree in cool-summer areas; pick at half-brown stage and ripen indoors. Fruit of seedling trees is 1/2–1 in. long.
The two most common cultivated varieties are 'Lang', with 1 1/2–2-in., elongated fruit, and 'Li', bearing 2-in., round fruit with a very small pit. 'Lang' needs 'Li' as a pollenizer; 'Li' is more productive with 'Lang' planted nearby, though it will produce some fruit if planted alone. 'Sherwood' does especially well in hot-summer climates; it has fewer spines. There is also a contorted form.
Deep rooted and drought-tolerant, jujube takes well to desert conditions. It is also very cold-hardy but not productive in short-summer areas. Takes saline and alkaline soils but grows better in good garden soil and thrives in lawns if there is adequate drainage (though suckering from roots can be a problem, particularly in moist soil).
No serious pests, but is subject to Texas root rot in deserts. Prune in winter to shape and encourage a weeping habit, or to reduce size. Harvest when fruit begins to turn from yellow-green to reddish brown; it has a crisp texture and tastes like a sweet apple. If allowed to turn completely brown and become mushy, the fruit is better for drying.

Unfortunately "the regulars" are unavailable, so I've decided to trial the younglings on a little bit of classic AD&D 2E goblin hell in "Tallow's Deep" (Issue #18 Volume III, Number 6, July/August 1989). This is a D&D 3.5 conversion. I'd be glad to share my conversion notes if anyone expresses an interest.
I'm also being a "vacation hog" and I took the rest of the week off from the coal mines while the younglings are in school. Hazah! Maybe I'll get in a little painting in on my Reaper collection too
Of course, I'll be continuing my series on the Pathfinder RPG next week too. I've also had a special blog request I'll be working on too.
I'm rather proud of my gaming industry interview triad so I'm presenting a little "best of" index below:
My Interview with TSR, Inc.: Part I
My Interview with TSR, Inc.: Part II
My Interview With Wizards of the Coast
I'll be back.

The ensemble begins to grow as another character role has been inked in on the official cast list of 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For'. It appears that Clive Owen, who starred in 2005's original masterpiece, will not be returning to reprise his role as Dwight. Instead its been handed to 'Planet Terror' and 'Gangster Squad' star Josh Brolin (below) to take the part as a pre-plastic surgery version of the character and hence explain why he now has a different face. The story featuring that of Dwight will precede the segment he appeared in during the original 'Sin City'. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller co-direct the comic book adaptation which already has Mickey Rourke, Jamie Chung, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Jessica Alba and Dennis Haysbert on board. It was announced earlier this week that 'Looper' star Joseph Gordon-Levitt has also scored a leading role int he follow-up.
"Stuck with nothing but a seedy gumshoe job and some demons, Dwight's thinking of all the ways he's screwed up and what he'd give for one clear chance to wipe the slate clean, to dig his way out of the numb gray hell that is his life. And he'd give anything. Just to feel the fire. One more time. But he can't let himself lose control again, can't ever let the monster out. And then Ava calls. With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller's masterpiece!"
'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' is aiming for a 4 October 2013 release date.Josh Brolin Plays Dwight

Genre: Action/Adventure

Rating: R
Comment: This fifth in the "Die Hard" series can't carry the other four's "water." Impossible to suspend disbelief. Some really poor editing cuts are obvious too. The over the top special effects should really be seen on the big screen to get the full, ridiculous, OMG effect. Despite the effects, it is a disappointment for Bruce Willis and "Die Hard" fans.
"Beautiful Creatures"
Two Popcorns
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Romance
Cast: Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Engiert, Jeremey Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum
Director: Richard LaGravenese
Comment: Moments of creative inspiration similar to "Twilight Saga," but those sputtered out. Big disappointment for those who read the book. In any event, an extremely unmemorable picture.

CA Attorney General Kamala Harris to seek en banc hearing before 9th Circuit Court
AG has decided that Sheriffs and Chiefs need the to right to arbitrary abuse their discretion in the issuance of CCW. To that end she has decided to petition the 9th Circuit for an en banc hearing. Should this be granted it will place on hold all the CCW applications that San Diego County Sheriff Gore and Orange County Sheriff Hutchens have accepted where the only GC was 'Personal Protection' or 'Self Defense'.
I posted here and at billyjackpatriot.blogspot.com that this matter was not over yet. Chuck Michel will oppose her motion but every manner of anti firearm organization will be filing Amicus briefs with the court.

9th Circuit Court Reverses District Court in Peruta v Gore
The 9th Circuit just gave a boost to the 2nd Amendment by ruling against the District Court having failed to award a Summary Judgment to the Plaintiffs. Sheriff Gore and San Diego County have three options. Two will prove even more costly to the taxpayers. They can request an en banc Hearing before the 9th Circuit, change the current policy or roll the dice and see if the Supreme's want to dance to this song again.
I assume legal fees have already reached six figures and Chuck Michel will be submitting a bill as soon as the County Board of Supervisors and County Counsel decide what action they want to take. This Brave having worked on this case will now sit back and see if the Sheriff blinks or rolls some very costly dice.
Many Braves believe this is a done deal and Good Cause is no longer required. Take a deep breath and read next paragraph. I have been inundated with calls and e-mail since this decision was published. I have 35 years worth of CCW knowledge and I do not give it away. You want sound professional advice, you will have to pay for it. There are a lot of 'free advice' sites on the Internet for low information, unsophisticated applicants. Try asking your attorney or physician for free advice.
As a result of this decision being published, Billy Jack has been receiving many e-mails and phone calls asking what it means to individuals currently applying or contemplating applying. We have a very strict policy which I will restate here. Applicants must follow PayPal instructions. There is no free lunch and no inquiries will be responded to until PayPal has been complied with.

Obama's Civilian Army
I want to introduce a new Blogger who will be posting here. Her name is 'Belle Starr'. She is an attorney, living in the West. A shooter, a hunter who eats what she kills. A gunnie in the best sense. She is also opinionated as you will discover all too soon. She is Mensa intelligent and like Billy Jack does not tolerate fools lightly. Also like Billy Jack, she does not take prisoners. If she thinks it, she will say it. We share similar opinions and philosophies, that is why she has joined this Blog. She will be posting here and cross posting to our new site. Not to be sexist, she is also easy on the eyes.
When Obama indicated that he wanted the United States to have a civilian army, equal in strength and funding to the military, did anyone really think such a thing was possible or even necessary? Hitler created such a group, and years of peace and prosperity followed, right?
Given historical precedent, what states, representatives and voting populace would agree to such a force? Did anyone ask the following questions: why do you feel such a force is necessary? What is the purpose of such a force and upon whom do you plan to use it?
Well, Patriots, it appears our answers are unfolding before us. The civilian army is composed of the ABC organizations, most notably the NSA, DHS and IRS. We have learned from Edward Snowden the depth of spying this government has been engaged in with its own officials, judges, as well as leaders of Allied Nations, and most notably our own citizens. Michelle Bachman made a mockery of her conservative stance when she claimed that the NSA was targeting foreign nationals only and she voted for the Fourth Amendment suspension in the NDAA. If our Tea Party "leaders" are so misinformed, what hope do we have, really?
The IRS has been discovered to be the strong arm/boot on the throat extension of a vindictive and vengeful Executive Branch and has targeted conservative groups with burdensome audits while at the same time granting tax exempt status to organizations led by the Imam-in-Chief's Muslim Brothers, with whom he has pledged to stand. Ironically, this is the one promise he has kept.
Congress, in fairness, did investigate this matter, but was met with lies and obfuscation, as Lois Lerner took the Fifth. As a result, our Liar in Chief has decreed that there was not a smidgen of evidence of wrongdoing. I believe that term came right out of Black's Law Dictionary, but I digress. Is it also not ironic that those who usurp the Constitution are the first to hide behind its very protections?
I have much more to say on these matters, but let us pause at this point and realize what a giant anal screw we are all in for...
Keep your Powder Dry, Patriots.
Belle Starr
Can Edward Snowden Bring Down Obama Administration?
Read the attached story and draw your own conclusions. As I read it the NSA is running the Federal government. Their data gathering makes J. Edgar Hoover look like a Boy Scout. The article makes me think of an octopus with the NSA being the head and the tentacles being the FBI, CIA, EPA, IRS, DHS and every Federal agency that collects data. Der Fuhrer, aka Obama wants the sheeple to believe it is all very innocent and benign. That is not Edward Snowden's take on it. American's have been asleep while the NSA has grown in power. In the interest of fairness, it was grabbing power prior to Der Fuhrer seizing power by manipulating low information voters. But, he has fine tuned it to an art form.
Ask yourself why Snowden fears for his life. Ask why he selected Russia as a place to seek asylum. Being convicted of treason is not his primary concern, staying alive is. This has all the makings of a Tom Clancy novel except this is real life or real death, depending on how you see it. Many Americans are running around taking their shoes off at airports and not being allowed to take tooth paste to Russia, submitting to invasive body scans when the real threat is right here in the good old USA.
Elected officials on both sides of the aisle have been neutered. Do you think the 'meta data' gathered by the NSA on elected officials and Judges has not been used to affect court decisions? Ever wonder why Chief Justice Roberts did a 180, twisted himself into a pretzel to decide that ACA, aka as Obamacare was Constitutional? Think someone did not place a severed horses head in his bed? Think again. Roberts was compromised. Better to go down in judicial history as a poor Chief Justice than have your character destroyed or perhaps have a tragic 'accident' cut short your life or that of someone near and dear to you. Writer has extensive experience investigating corruption at all levels and the average sheeple do not have a clue as to the pervasive corruption that compromises virtually all aspects of their daily lives.
When I first read the referenced article I said 'oh shit' three times. I rarely say that more then twice. I was that shocked and concerned. Let's see how many times you say 'oh shit' after you read the article.

Obama Administration Scandals
Patriots, it is about time someone put the Obama scandals in perspective. Leftist politicians, Bloggers and pundits keep trying to make the scandals right wing or conservative issues. That is simply not true. They are American issues. Four Americans died at Benghazi, over 41 Tea Party groups were targeted by the IRS, reporters and news media have had their phones tapped by the NSA after obtaining dubious FISA Court Search Warrants. For the low information people out there, these are warrants issued in secret by a court set up after 9/11. Brian Terry, Border Patrol Agent was murdered with weapons provided by a secret sting operation, Fast and Furious which was authorized by AG Erik Holder.
Does anyone really believe these are right wing or conservative issues or made up scandals as our President would like the masses to believe? I have watched Obama speak and he can command a crowd just as Der Fuhrer did in Nazi Germany. As soon as anyone draws that parallel they are branded a crazy. Both were very effective in getting their message out to the masses. In Hitler's case the cause of all problems were the Jews. He threw a few other groups into that mix, like homosexuals and the retarded just for good measure. Obama would have you believe all of Americas problems stem from successful, evil wealthy people. People who have worked hard and apparently not shared their wealth 'for the greater good'. There is nothing in the Constitution that says any successful person has to share their wealth with anyone. Obama believes that was an omission by the Founding Fathers that he needs to correct. No President in history has stated a need to 'fundamentally' change the United States except for Obama.
To that end he has used the EPA, NSA, FBI, CIA and just about every alphabet agency that exists to gather data on law abiding Americans and to use regulatory, administrative and law enforcement resources to intimidate, and silence his detractors. He arrogantly dismisses and attributes any criticism to racism or right wing extremism. The fact that any detractor may be correct and motivated by love of country and the Constitution is never a consideration.
Americans are being led like sheep to philosophical and intellectual slaughter by a person with the same motivations of a Stalin, Mao, Hitler, or Mussolini. He is a master at manipulation and obfuscation. Doubt what I am saying? Watch some Youtube of Hitler speeches and you will see young women fainting at his rallies. Same message, different messenger. Place your future in my hands and I will make all your lives better. Fortunately there are enough of us who have not drank of the Kool Aid and still embrace the Constitution. We know this man is a messianic, narcissist, socialist and we also know he is very dangerous. Any President who would use every Federal agency at their disposal in an attempt to control the population is far more dangerous to the Republic than a Jihadist with a nuclear device. One of the means of control used by this President is in fact the specter of a Jihadist with a nuclear device. He has used that pervasive fear to enact segments of the NDAA that violates the Fourth Amendment as well as empowered the DHS with law enforcement powers that greatly exceed their initial mission of protecting us from foreign threats. They have become a domestic law enforcement agency.
I will be expanding on these areas of concern in future Blogs. I know the NSA is monitoring and I want to wish them a pleasant day. Always nice to have adversaries concerned at what you have to say.

WASHINGTON, DC, February 4, 2013 - I watched the Super Bowl last night at my neighbor's home at a party that included several kids of varying ages, including several boys ranging from ages 11 and up. Overall, the watch party was a pretty fun experience. There were several families there with siblings and even father and son pairs rooting for opposing teams. It made the celebration and game watching that much more exciting.
Normally, I look forward to watching the Super Bowl commercials, especially the humorous ones meant to make us chuckle and provide comic relief during those intense bowl games. Indeed, the commercials add to the entertainment value of the Super Bowl watch party experience. By now, in Super Bowl history, the commercials may have even eclipsed the usually over-hyped half-time performance and shows. Traditionally, audiences are teased and egged to look forward to show-stopping, jaw-dropping headliners to wow us during the half-time break.
However, as many parents realize, both the half time shows and the ads have become more and more Rated R and PG13 and not necessarily suitable for young kids to watch. It was this way long before "boob-gate" when Janet Jackson had a "wardrobe malfunction" and supposedly accidentally revealed her pasty-covered breast after show co-star singer Justin Timberlake ripped off her top to the lyric, "Ima have you naked by the end of this song."
The hypersexualized Super Bowl has been evolving, and last night was no different. From highly sexualized perfume ads to flesh-filled car commercials to audible sloppy wet kisses, the caliber of commercials ranged in quality but maintained a steady flow of sensuality and provocativeness.
The excitement of the 11, 12 and 13 year old boys over seeing Beyonce made me uncomfortable, to say the least. They hoot and hollered with exceptional excitement at every finger bite, pelvic thrust, floor writhing, and hair whip. It was quite awkward with my 10-year old sitting closely by. I wanted to perish the thought that my boy was even at the stage of his peers and having similar lustful thoughts about a woman three times their age.
"Jay Z is a lucky man," one kid said out loud about the business man, rapper and mogul who has been married to the pop star for 5 years and shares a daughter, Blue Ivy, with him.
I don't want to complain about the chiseled Adonis of a model featured in the Calvin Klein Concept underwear commercial, but to be fair, should point out the obvious that it too was an unabashed and explicit dishing up of sexy man candy in his underwear. That also could be a bit much for younger girls, and boys if we are to be PC and honest about it.
In short, the point could just be that the Super Bowl has long since abandoned its roots as the all around family event focused on football for something at least suggestive if not flat out sexual. Parents need to be cautioned and prepared to either skip the ads and half time show to watch later when their children are not around or just let it flow, but be prepared for all the questions that may come later. Both are unsavory options, but choices that must be made.
The only other alternative is to watch the Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl instead. Hey, there's an idea!
Below are the top 6 raciest ads shown last night:
1. Perfect Match – Go Daddy Bar Refaeli's Big Kiss!
2. Concept - Calvin Klen
3. Model Kate Upton washes a car in slow motion -Mercedes Benz CLA
4. Topless - Fiat 500 Abarth
5. Megan Fox in Bath - Motorola
6. Prom - Audi

Tortoise gets artificial wheel at vet hospital
July 20, 2011 - 7:00 PM
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Watch out Mr. Hare, this tortoise has a wheel.
A 12-year-old African tortoise that recently had a front leg amputated due to injury is now moving just fine, thanks to a swiveling wheel attached to his shell by surgeons at Washington State University's veterinary hospital.
Officials at WSU say the 23-pound tortoise, named Gamera after the giant flying turtle of the old Japanese monster movie, is gaining weight and generally thriving with his new appendage.
Veterinary hospital spokesman Charlie Powell said the wheel allows Gamera to move on flat and lumpy surfaces.

My approach to the potential unionization in Canada is two fold: Firstly, I avoid permanant workers to the best of my abilities. Usually, I hire in cycles, and I hire 200+ people for 75 jobs. I start them all part-time, and rank their performance based on how much profit they make for me per minute. that means if they walk slow to the bathroom, or if they take long in the bathroom, their ranking is lower. It is not personal, it is not discrimination, it is just math and stats. Then I only extend full time hours to the top 60 people who make the most profit. That means that the remaining 140 average workers compete for the remaining 15 seats on a given day. The bottom 30% will likely never get offered a shift. Then, within 90 days, I fire everyone in accordance with the law, and start over. The objective is to have a flexible and temperory workforce. I tell the workers from the outset, verbally and in contract, that this is a temp job that will end in 90 days. I set the expectation that it is a temp job so that they see that there is no point in trying to unionize. Also, I use temp agencies and just rotate bodies in and out. The bottom line is that I do not give full time jobs to anyone (other than family and friends)....I do not create jobs that are worth unionizing (for the workers or for the unions)...this strategy has served me well. I have a willing workforce that accepts minimum wage on a perminant basis, and my profits and MY salary has gone up in every year of the last 5 years. It has also served me well because I am a lawyer by trade. I have a full time job, so I don't personally run my companies. So knowing that I have a profitable strategy that is no likely to get unionized means that I have a steady and reliable flow of extra money coming in with no effort on my part. My second approach to unionization in Canada is to move companies to right to work states. Laws that make unionization hard are good for me, which is why over 70% of my companies are in right to work US states. Every one of those jobs were once in Canada, but I have moved them becuase I get more money. I still pay the Canadian government capital gains on the profits that I make from the US. I still pay my fair share. But the reality is that I have increased my Canadian wealth by cutting out Canadian workers. And I chose to do so because I am scared of unionization cutting my profits. I would not be scared if there was no union. So tell me, at the end of the day, will unions create jobs or cause employers to flee. Frankly, I don't care either way because I will always find a way to do what is best for me. As far as I am concerned, nothing else matters. It is workers in Canada who have to worry about the supply of jobs in Canada. As an employers, I have a global pool of workers, so I will hand pick the workers who will accept the terms that facilitates the maximum amount of profitability.

Even when the mercury soars, drinking water stays cool in the Polar Bottle insulated sport water bottle. The double wall construction and reflective foil layer form a thermal barrier that effectively insulates. With the Polar Bottle, you can keep liquids cold twice as long versus a standard plastic bottle where liquids lose their cool quickly. Simply fill it with liquid and ice and hit the road or trail.
I have been using the 24oz bottle for 2 weeks now. -- air temps have been in the low 80s -- Water stays cold for about an hour and a half -- Water stays cool for an other hour or so and is does not get as warm as my normal 24oz bottle. This bottle meets and may exceed any reasonable expectations. Bottle is easy to clean, I like that the valve is removable. Not a bad buy - I am happy, and will buy more as I retire aging bottles.
Have used these bottles for years, easy to clean and keeps water cool for a long time. Great product!
There is a market for a better bottle, this one is mediocre.
This has got to be the best bottle ever made to use on a bicycle.
