There is absolutely no reason for fans of the Toronto Blue Jays to be upset at this point about the signing of Vladimir Guerrero. There will be plenty of time for that later.
It must be remembered that the team handed him a Minor League contract, which allows them to watch Guerrero as he returns to game shape, makes stops at all of their Minor League affiliates (don't think for a minute that the Vancouver Canadians, New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Las Vegas BABIPers aren't pleased as punch right now with the Blue Jays).
This isn't the Baltimore Orioles giving him a guaranteed contract. This isn't even guaranteed money. It's a prorated $1.3 million that the team has promised to pay him if he's not a bust on his let's-make-the-affiliates-happy tour which will likely translate into the Blue Jays paying him around half of the $1.3 million sum when all is said and done.
In terms of playing time, this also isn't anything like Guerrero playing for the Orioles last season. Toronto didn't sign the former Montreal Expos superstar to be an everyday player. There will be no situations in which manager John Farrell must find a place for him in the field to get his bat in the lineup. Those days are behind Vladimir Guerrero. At this point in his career, the best a signing team can hope for is a platoon designated hitter who can offer something in terms of a useful bat off the bench.
A worst case scenario has Guerrero looking like the Vladdy of old during his Minor League tour, continuing his revival during his first few appearances for the big club, and then getting too much playing time as regression and decline rear their ugly heads. Even then, the only reasonable place for him in the lineup would see him steal at bats from Adam Lind, who has been so disastrous against left handed pitching, Guerrero wouldn't have to do much at all to be an upgrade.
The real issue here though, is that we shouldn't be talking about Guerrero being an upgrade over Lind. His bat should already be pulled from the lineup against left handed pitchers, and unless the team is thinking about straight platoons for both Eric Thames in left field and Colby Rasmus in center field, we must ask why Rajai Davis or Ben Francisco aren't already in the role that Guerrero could eventually fill.
As we looked at yesterday, both players probably offer at least as much value against left handed pitching as a 37 year old Guerrero at this stage in his career. However, what basically amounts to a no risk contract, makes it worth the while of the team to see what the vintage vehicle has left in the gas tank. In many ways, the deal that was struck with Guerrero simply gives the Blue Jays first dibs on the player.

The Washington Nationals need a center fielder. The Los Angeles Angels have a roster entirely comprised of outfielders. These two dance partners are finally getting together it seems. [Yard Barker]
After striking out 13 batters over six innings, we should ask what Stephen Strasburg's usage plan will be for the Washington Nationals. [The Book Blog]

The dark ring is the field lens holder for the Altair adaptive optics system; it is 25 arcsec in radius. The observers can use any bright lunar feature within this ring as a pseudo-star to guide the telescope, specifically, to keep the science detector's field of view centered over the area of expected impact plume.

NASA's Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), which uses an empty fuel tank to kick up a plume in order to measure the amount of water ice on the moon, is no more. Early this morning the two-spacecraft combo careened into a crater, the first (called Centaur) serving as the impactor and the second (the Shepherding Spacecraft) measuring the plume on its own way to the surface.
The NASA video, taken by the craft itself, chronicles the end of the mission. The science and analysis is just starting. NASA has to sift through data from 9 onboard sensors as well as information from space-based and terrestrial telescopes. Let's hope those craters have waterwithout it, you can forget about permanent moon bases.
Stay tuned to PM as the results come in over the next few weeks.

Posted in Issue 95 April 2004 Other Organizations
The U.N. Peacekeeping Best Practices Unit has published a discussion paper that reviews the international community's involvement in Haiti and identifies some lessons to be learned from United Nations engagements between 1994 and 2001. As a discussion paper, the document does not represent the views of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations or carry directive weight. Instead, it provides recommendations for planners. The paper finds that previous engagements failed to establish a stable policy and provides lessons that can be learned from weaknesses, key among which are the short mandate duration, the lack of cooperation from Haitian leadership, the lack of assumption of local ownership or self-reliance, ill-timed financial aid, pressure from member states, and a lack of coordination. The paper concludes that Haiti needs support in stability and security, institution building, DDRR (disarmament, demobilization, rehabilitation and reintegration) and socio-economic development, and provides recommendations for these areas. Download the paper from the U.N. website at: www.un.org/Depts/dpko/lessons/.

Saving for retirement is a difficult task, especially during these challenging economic times. Individuals who participate in their retirement plans are being charged billions in fees annually—and no one is looking out for their best interests—even though the laws say both plan sponsors and employers should be held responsible for acting in their employees' best interests. The fact is that unless individuals are willing to stand-up and secure their financial future, they're likely to face less money in their retirement plan accounts and have to work longer to accumulate the funds they need for retirement. In Stop the Retirement Rip-off, author David Loeper provides the necessary tools for readers to take action and make the most of their retirement plans. It offers a road map for employees to understand the fees and costs associated with their plans and document the excesses in a presentation to management that is not confrontational and avoids making it sound as though you are complaining. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, Stop the Retirement Rip-off provides readers with sensible strategies for making the most of their retirement funds, and will put them back in control of their financial future.
In the investment arena–including mutual funds, hedge funds, and stocks–there are hidden costs such as managerial fees or marketing expenses that can cost investors at least 3-6% of their earnings. These dangers are real, and in Stop the Investing Rip-off, author David Loeper sheds much-needed light on the oft-unseen deceit of the financial services industry. This book serves as an advocate of the consumer, exposing what insiders know about the side of the sales pitches that consumers don't, but need to hear. Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Stop the Investing Rip-off addresses questions every investor should ask during a financial sales pitch, before they pull the trigger and buy into the next financial product or advisory service. Based on David Loeper's nearly 25 years of experience of seeing the inner workings of the industry, Stop the Investing Rip-off reveals the real costs of the investments we make, the false and misleading information sold to us, and details the devastating effects they can have on personal wealth.
The landscape over the last thirty years in corporate (401(k), profit sharing, etc.), government (457 plans), and nonprofit retirement plans (403(b)) has shifted toward participant-directed funding and investment selection. This shift culminated in the Supreme Court's recent ruling allowing plan participants to sue fiduciaries. In the landmark case (LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates, Inc.), the Court ruled on the ability for an individual participant to sue retirement plan fiduciaries. The Four Pillars of Retirement Plans addresses this important issue and prepares readers for the mountain of lawsuits that will arise from the ruling. It covers what attorneys need to know to win these suits, and what financial advisors, trustees, employers, and fiduciaries of 401(k) and other retirement plans need to do to avoid liability from these suits. The Four Pillars of Retirement Plans focuses on the key areas where past guidelines need to change in an environment where participant direction dominates, and new liability for each participant's individual plan balance has suddenly become a potential responsibility to fiduciaries. This timely book will be a valuable resource for financial advisors, attorneys, and other fiduciaries that now face potential lawsuits from their plan participants.

Yes snow is coming everywhere in Europe and we're all in starting blocks to shoot these precious shiny moments.
So my point is: what film will you be using for snow photos??? I guess it depends if the sun is shining or not. What do you guys think?
Last time I used Kodak Elitechrome EBX but I wasn't very satisfied:
I think it could have been nice with the sun but here whites got burned :( I don't like it…
Was a bit better with a regular Jessops SHR400 film (close to a Kodak 400):
Not perfect but I prefer these tones as with the Elitechrome slides…
So??? Slide or not slide? Share your tricks with me :)

Next Generation Touring Car
Next Generation Touring Car | |
Motor racing formula | |
Category | Touring cars |
Country or region | United Kingdom / Scandinavia |
Championships | BTCC (2011 – present) STCC (2012) |
Inaugural season | 2011 |
Status | Active |
Next Generation Touring Car, also known as NGTC, is a TOCA specification and classification for production based race cars. The specification covers touring car racing. The goal of the NGTC classification is to allow more manufacturers and privateers to race by reducing the cost of a competitive car and to reduce reliance on the increasingly expensive Super 2000 equipment. The specification was created for use in the British Touring Car Championship and will be phased in over three years from the 2011 British Touring Car Championship season.[1] However, NGTC Engines were first used in the 2010 season by Pinkney Motorsport, Pirtek Racing and Special Tuning UK.[2]
The introduction of these new technical regulations were designed to fulfil the following criteria:
- Dramatically reduce the design, build and running costs of the cars and engines
- Maintain present levels of performance until 2013, to ensure performance parity with current S2000 cars
- Reduce the potential for significant performance disparities between cars
- 'Future proof' the regulations by being able to easily modify the various performance parameters
- Reduce reliance on WTCC/S2000 equipment, due to increasing costs/complexity and concerns as to its future sustainability/direction[3]
The NGTC engine had its first run in February 2010, during testing for the 2010 season. Pirtek Racing's Vauxhall Vectra was fitted with the engine, which performed well during a week's testing at Snetterton.[4] During the 2010 BTCC Season the NGTC engine was used by three teams; Pirtek Racing and Pinkney Motorsport, using a Vauxhall Vectra, and Special Tuning using a SEAT Leon. Features include:
- 300+bhp 2-litre turbo-charged direct injection engine
- fly by wire throttle control.
- Low cost to develop, build, buy and maintain. Teams can decide whether build their own unit to the spec, or teams can lease/purchase a TOCA-BTCC engine ready built.
- Over-boost function. This will allow an increased power output from 2013.[5]
Drive Train[edit]
- Xtrac 6 speed sequential-shift gearbox.
- AP Racing carbon clutch.
- Front or Rear Wheel Drive.[5] Originally TOCA announced that only front wheel drive cars would be eligible to take part. However, after high interest from teams running rear wheel drive cars, TOCA amended the spec to include both front and rear wheel drive cars.
- Full front sub-frame incorporating suspension, brakes, transmission and engine location that attaches to specified roll cage locations.
- Rear sub-frame that attaches to specified roll cage locations.
- Multi-adjustable double wishbone suspension with coil-over dampers.
- 2, 3, 4 or 5 door of a minimum 4.4m length. (2 or 3 door cars must share the same basic body profile as the 4/5 door model).
- Equalised width of 1875mm
- Specified front aerodynamic device incorporating flat floor, apertures for radiator, brake cooling ducts, intercooler and side exits.
- Specified rear wing profile.
- Base vehicle must be freely on sale in the UK through the manufacturer's normal dealer network
- Specified 18" centre-lock wheel
- AP Racing specified package
- AP Racing specified pedal-box
- Cosworth Electronics specified package incorporating ECU, dash, data-logging and scrutineering logger.
- Common power management box, switch panels and wiring loom design
Target Price[edit]
The target price for a complete car, less engine is around £100,000 depending on final components used by each team and the running cost. The cost for a TOCA-BTCC Engine will be £25,000 with the option to be leased. However the target price is a lot higher than expected - it was reported that the car, less engine is around £200,000.
Current models[edit]
As of 2013 British Touring Car Championship season total of 10 different models were built and raced under the NGTC regulations. The following Next Generation Touring Cars are currently competing in championships:
- Audi A4 - Made its debut during the first round of the 2011 BTCC. Built by GPR Motorsport, Rob Austin Racing ran a single A4 for most of the season, firstly using an engine prepared by Ric Wood and then using a Lehman-built engine from Oulton Park onwards.[6] A second A4 was run by the team from round nine.[7] The car took a second place during Round Eight's third race at Rockingham, after leading part of the race.[8] For the 2012 season the car was modified by the team, with the aerodynamics being updated. Rob Austin Racing ran a single car for the first four rounds of the season, before entering both of the A4's at Croft. Austin claimed a third place finish in the second race, and gave the car its maiden Independents Championship win. For 2013 both Audi's were entered from the start of the season, featuring updated bodywork to reflect the road car's facelift and now using engines prepared by Field Motorsport, who maintained the Lehman engines midway through 2012.[9] Austin took another podium in the opening race of 2013 and claimed the fastest lap, but his car was severely damaged in the third race after a heavy collision with Dave Newsham, which helped gain the car the nickname 'Sherman'. For Oulton Park, Austin's A4 used the TOCA-BTCC engine in a bid to find extra performance. The second car was fitted with the new engine a round later at Croft.
- Proton Gen-2/Proton Persona - Welch Motorsport reintroduced the Proton marque to the BTCC in 2011.[10] This was the first appearance of the brand since 2004. Before the start of the 2012 season Welch Motorsport adapted the aerodynamics of the Proton Gen-2 to reflect the Persona model. Initially the car used the TOCA-BTCC engine, but from 2014 onwards will be mounted an in-house engine.
- Toyota Avensis - First seen as a prototype in 2010 during practice for the final round at Brands Hatch. The Avensis was chosen as a demo model for the BTCC to launch the new specification ahead of the 2011 championship. Dynojet and Speedworks Motorsport ran one Toyota Avensis each in 2011, driven by Frank Wrathall and Tony Hughes respectively. The car showed top 12 potential early in the season. The Avensis scored its first points at Snetterton circuit in August 2011 at the hands of Frank Wrathall. Over the course of the season, Wrathall took four podiums. In 2012, the cars were aerodynamically upgraded to reflect the design of the new Avensis. Wrathall took the first win for the car and the first win for Toyota in 19 years.
- Vauxhall Insignia - Thorney Motorsport introduced the Vauxhall Insignia to the BTCC during the final round of the 2011 BTCC. However due to lack of testing time, the car failed to start any races.[11] The car did compete in select races during the 2012 season. At the end of the season Tony Gilham Racing bought the two Insignias. In 2014 the cars changed ownership again since Tony Gilham Racing merged with BMR Restart to form Team BMR.
- Honda Civic - Honda Racing Team swapped to the new ninth generation Honda Civic, built fully to NGTC regulations, in the 2012 BTCC season. They were the first manufacturer backed team to announce their intention to run fully to the NGTC specification.[12] The Honda Civic was about to be the first NGTC car to be raced in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, at the hands of Tomas Engström, but it didn't happen.[13] At the first round of the 2012 season, the Civic became the first full NGTC specification winner.[14] As of the end of the 2013 season the car has won in total of 10 titles for 2 seasons of racing.
- MG6 GT - MG KX Momentum Racing currently run a pair of MG6 GT models in the 2012 British Touring Car Championship season. This made MG the second manufacturer to announce plans to run fully NGTC specification cars.[15]
- Ford Focus ST - Redstone Racing compete with the third generation Ford Focus ST. The car was revealed hours prior the 2012 round at Snetterton with Mat Jackson driving the car for the reminder of the 2012 season. Only one car was entered, with expansion of 2 additional cars for team for the next season.[16]
- BMW 125i - West Surrey Racing are switching to NGTC spec BMW 125i cars to replace their S2000 BMW 320si that they have been running since 2007. The team will use 3 cars for the season.[17]
- Volkswagen CC - Tony Gilham announced that they were going to run at least 2 VW CC cars in the 2013 season alongside their 2 Vauxhall Insignia cars with both models racing under different team label to distinguish them as separate entries.[18] The team ran only 1 car with BMR Restart acquired the second shell, in which their driver Warren Scott raced in the second half of the season.
- Chevrolet Cruze 4dr - In January 2013 Andy Neate announced his intentions to continue in BTCC in 2013 under his own newly created IP Tech Race Engineering team with NGTC Chevrolet Cruze under the Club 44 banner. Unlike BTC Racing's version of the Chevrolet Cruze, the team uses the saloon version of the car. The car made its first race appearance for the season at Snetterton.
- Chevrolet Cruze 5dr - Following Chevrolet's withdrawal from the 2012 season, two NGTC Cruze shells were mothballed by RML Group. However, in October 2012, BTC Racing announced that they had bought one of the shells with a view to enter it at the start of 2013.[19] Due to lack of budget the first appearance was postponed until 2014.
- Mercedes-Benz A-Class - Ciceley Racing will switch from Toyota Avensis to their own built NGTC-spec built Mercedes-Benz A-Class. This will be the first time since 1986 that Mercedes-Benz car will be in the series.[20]
- Audi S3 Saloon - The German based American outfit Rotek Racing announced their intentions to enter the series with two NGTC-spec built Audi S3 for Robb Holland.[21]
- Honda Civic Tourer - The Honda Racing Team will switch to brand new vehicle which is going to replace the current NGTC Honda Civic tough the car model is due to be announced.[22] On 29 November 2013 Honda Civic Tourer was announced as the team's new car.[23] This is the second estate car ever in the BTCC since 1994 and the first one built to the current regulations.
Future models[edit]
Series currently allowing cars built to NGTC rules to race:
- British Touring Car Championship - Fully eligible to race from the opening round of the 2011 British Touring Car Championship season. However, NGTC Engines were first allowed during the 2010 season.[2]
- Scandinavian Touring Car Championship - Fully eligible to race from the opening round of the 2012 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season.[24] Following the reunification of STCC with rival TTA series the NGTC regulations were scrapped. During the 2012 season only NGTC engined S2000 cars were competing alongside the regular S2000 cars(including the WTCC Chevrolet Cruze and the CNG Volkswagen Scirocco).

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." - First Amendment of the United States Constitution
On July 4th, 2009, Dove World Outreach Center posted a simple hand painted sign on its front field that read "ISLAM IS OF THE DEVIL." Within a few days, the reaction to the sign had brought local and national news coverage as pressure was brought to have it taken down. The questions that were raised? Is it right and good for a Christian church to make statements that offensive? Is the statement true? Could the City or nation force the church to remove the sign? What rights does a private land owner have to post controversial signs?
Much to the shock of international governments and organizations, the sign remained, though the size was altered to meet city code. The church, under the leadership of Dr. Terry Jones, went on to post many more signs and hold public events on its property, including several Koran burning events.
From an article in the Gainesville Sun, July 7th, 2009:
The local NY Times owned newspaper, the Gainesville Sun, printed many articles in the coming months and years, interviewing Dr. Jones, noting some of his comments, and always giving ample space for Muslim leaders and organizations to voice their plea, that the statement was "not true." In fact, they said, Islam is a "religion of peace." Dr. Jones had observed this lie during the 30 years he lived in Europe where Islam now dominates. On his return to the United States he was shocked by the apathy of the American people and churches. He and the church leadership began a campaign to warn and wake up America which continues as "Stand Up America Now".
Jesus said,"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:32
The world is facing a great danger, which, if it is not stopped, will sooner or later be a threat to freedom in all nations and specifically to the United States. This danger is the growing religion of Islam. Although Islam proclaims to be the truth, it does not, as Jesus said of the truth in John 8:32, set people free. Instead, it oppresses and kills.
In response to the dangerous religion of Islam, our church, Dove World Outreach Center, did something radical. In the front yard of our church property, we put up a sign that said "Islam is of the Devil." It created quite a stir, and it was all over the news. It has shaken up Christians in general, and especially the liberal and humanistic Christians who water down the gospel. And it has shaken up the silent majority. One thing is sure: We, "the church with the sign," have become less silent.
People in town have asked us, "Why did you put up the sign? Why did you do it?" We did it to expose Islam. Although Islam is masquerading as a religion of peace, harmony, unity, and tolerance, it is very much a religion of intolerance, violence, and oppression. It is a religion that does not permit freedom at all.

CAIVRS may be accessed Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. US Eastern Standard Time. CAIVRS is not available on Federal holidays. Access to the system is during limited hours because it requires mainframe access.
FHA terminated telephone access to CAIVRS on October 1, 2008. Please read FHA Mortgagee Letter 2008-18 published on 7/11/08 for more information. FHA will continue to offer access to CAIVRS for HUD approved lenders via FHAConnection. Participating agencies or authorized lending institutions can access CAIVRS via CAIVRS.
To learn more about CAIVRS:
If you have a question or need further assistance, please email us.
CAIVRS was developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in June 1987 as a shared database of defaulted Federal debtors, and enables processors of applications for Federal credit benefit to identify individuals who are in default or have had claims paid on direct or guaranteed Federal loans, or are delinquent or other debts owed to Federal agencies.
In 1989, the Office of Management and Budget set as a performance goal that certain program agencies and their authorized financial institutions should use CAIVRS to conduct prescreening to determine a loan applicant's credit status with the Federal Government. The purpose of this methodology would enable the program agencies to prescreen their borrowers and to broaden the Federal Government's base in determining an applicant's creditworthiness.

In a pavilion literally on the sand, this casual but refined restaurant wowed critics from the moment it opened, both with its idyllic location on Kuilima Cove and with chef Fred DeAngelo's reliably wonderful food. Ola means "life, living, healthy," an apt name for a place that combines a commitment to freshness and wholesomeness with a discriminating and innovative palate in such dishes as a vegan risotto made with local mushrooms and orzo pasta, slow-poached salmon with caramelized cane sugar and Okinawan sweet potatoes. It is absolutely worth the drive. olaislife.com. Credit cards accepted.

It's hard to know what to make of this story. Add enough time to any old thing/choice of clothing apparel/habit and you've got Inviolable Tradition. But if Everton fans know best, then so be it. Plus it's always nice to see a club is clearly listening to their fans' hurt and upset feelings over the dropping of a couple of laurels and some Latin text from the Toffees' crest (the dead language lives on in football form!):
Everton have responded to a backlash from supporters over the club's redesigned crest with a grovelling apology and a promise to consult the fans before agreeing on a new version for the 2014-15 season.
The unpopular new badge will be used next season because, the club explained, it was too late to reverse the process with the kit manufacturers.
But Everton have accepted they were guilty of not consulting their fans after more than 22,500 people signed an online petition protesting at the new crest.
Had I a time machine, I'd love to ask what Evertonians thought of the change in crest when the laurels were first introduced in 1938. Chances are they wouldn't have much to say, at least until 1978. Everton has more on the history of the crest here, and it mentions how Theo Kelly's redesign in 1938 which included the laurels and Latin text was only featured on the official team neckties, at least until 1978.
The real reason for the furore seems more connected to the fact the crest is being redesigned for corporate branding purposes. It's smaller and easier to digitize. Which is why they should have used the old 1920 crest, which is absolutely fantastic. Have a look at it in the image above. That would look effing gorgeous on any football club. Hints of baseball, too.

Did one include the travel insurance? I know I take the travel insurance off when I book online.
I just gave Disney Travel a call and their quote for the same thing I checked out on the Disney Website was higher. Is it cheaper to book online? I have never booked online before. I am one of those people that feel better talking to a real person than simply clicking buttons. Has anyone ever had any trouble with booking through Disney online? Why would the price be different over the phone? We are planning for next November and will be booking in the new year. Any thoughts or answers to my questions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks guys

the phone included travel insurance, even with the travel insurance on the internet it was cheaper.
usually it's cheaper to book online and not just disney...but my family likes booking disney over the phone...theyr'e able to work with you....maybe mention the internet price over the phone and see what they're willing to do.
"There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday. There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, just a dream away!"
When I grow up I wanna be a Disney
I have always looked at my vacation package on-line and then call Disney and book it just to be sure the prices are the same. I have never had two different prices quoted to me. They have always been the same. I think I have always mentioned to the CM the price I found on-line. I, too, like to talk to real people when I'm spending $$$$.
I would recommend pricing everything through on the internet and be prepared to discuss differences when you actually make the reservation over the phone with an agent. I had done an online booking and was surprised that I had many problems. Even more so, it seems the Disney folk don't really embrace the online process. I did not receive a packet preparing me for my visit that always comes with an on-phone res... When I questioned that (and an online double charge..) the response was basically "Yeah, thats whats wrong with booking over the web"...
Whatcha doin'? Hibernatin'?

Hi - I was hoping to get some advice on technical schools: cost , length of time
til graduate or get certificate, could a 54 yr. old grandmother learn all and get thru it all? I was looking for info. about medical coding and billing - I think it's called. Any info./ advice greatly appreciated. Thank you, all. tina_2 |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Tina... I'm looking into the same thing. Make sure you stay away from the fly-by-nights that are on-line offering training of some sort. They just want your money. I am just too leary of them. My local community college has courses, and referenced the their courses are based on the American Academy of Professional Coders, which has various levels of training and certification. They have a web site, see below, and I would recommend you go there to check on training, and who near you would offer it and prep you for the national testing for certification. Also, check your local community college. There is a 2 yr. program Associates Degree, but also you can take a few pre-req's and get into coding classes (in my situation). I am 59, presently working full-time, but layoffs may be looming, as there has already been some. I am already signed up for a Pharmacy Tech. Class at my local comm.college starting in June. It will be 3 months of training for $175 and $150 for books. Not bad to start off with that. I still want to pursue coding if I can. I did have to take some pre-testing and had to be at a specific level in Math, Reading and Locating Information (info with maps and charts, you had to work the answer based on the info given, not always easy, some charts very complicated...questions on soil/sand/clay/silt analysis, computer technician pinging a network, stuff like that). The tests start off easy and get progressively harder and they are timed. These were STATE recognized tests, as many temp agencies require them as well as the college, as they need to know where you stand. I have a Bachelor's degree, and I still had to take the tests to get into the Pharmacy class.

I have no real advice but 54 is not to old to go back to school. I have known many people as old or older and they did fine in what they went for. As far as medical coding, I have nothing to offer. Just a good luck and know that you can do it. You are not too old. |

It's Just Politics
Fridays at 1:35 PM
- Hosted by Zoe Clark, Rick Pluta
Politics can be messy. Politics can be confusing. But, that certainly doesn't mean politics can't be a total thrilling joy-ride. Join It's Just Politics hosts Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta every Friday afternoon for a fast-paced spin around Michigan politics.
Want to know what's really going on inside the state Capitol building? Or, why your lawmaker really voted the way they did? They've got the answers... and much more.
It's Just Politics – every Friday afternoon at 1:35 pm on Michigan Radio.
Rick Pluta has covered Michigan government and politics since 1987. His first big Michigan political story was the brutal GOP presidential primary battle that pitted Vice President George H.W. Bush against former Congressman Jack Kemp and televangelist Pat Robertson. That battle spawned two competing state political conventions and the now-famous "I Survived the 1988 Michigan Republican Delegate Selection Process" t-shirt. He would pay money now that he did not pay then to get one. He collects political pins - a professional side hobby that's hit the skids as cost-conscious campaigns have taken a tragic turn toward stickers. He is an excellent parallel parker.
Zoe Clark is Michigan Radio's resident political junkie. She was three years old in 1987 when Rick Pluta started covering the Capitol. She fell in love with politics when she was eight years old and begged her parents to let her stay up late to follow the 1992 presidential election returns. No way, they said. But she did convince them to wake her up when the race was called. (Which they did.) It was her job to wake up early for four years as the producer of Morning Edition on Michigan Radio. Now, in addition to being Michigan Radio's resident political junkie, Zoe is the executive producer of Stateside.
She aspires to have an organized desk.

Welcome to Awaba, an electronic database and guide to the history, culture and language of the Indigenous peoples of the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie region of NSW.
"Awaba" is the Aboriginal name for Lake Macquarie, a large coastal saltwater lake which lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Watagan Mountains of New South Wales. The lake is about 100 km north of the city of Sydney and 20 km south of the city of Newcastle. The Aboriginal people who lived in the Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie (HVLM) region spoke a distinctive language which is generally called "Awabakal." However, this word was invented by John Fraser, who edited the linguistic work of Lancelot Threlkeld for publication in 1892.
From this site you can access over 100 documents and materials about the Awabakal people and language. It also provides a thematic guide to these materials, with contributions prepared by various locally-based scholars, writers and community leaders. Follow the links to articles on Awabakal Bibliography, Culture, History, Images, Language, People and Places.
Awaba is the product of collaboration between the University's School of Liberal Arts and Wollotuka School of Aboriginal Studies, in partnership with representatives of the Awabakal Aboriginal community. The project accords with the University's proposed Charter of Aboriginal Reconciliation, which will formalise a commitment to bring Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians together through consultation and cooperation amongst university staff and members of local Aboriginal communities.
The Awaba website was launched by Mrs Nola Hawken of the Awabakal community on 16 October 2002 as part of the Birabahn Cultural Festival which marked the opening ceremonies of the Birabahn Building. This building houses the Wollotuka School of Aboriginal Studies and Umulliko, a National Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Research.

World of Warcraft as a teaching tool {WoW}
Oct 5th 2008 8:38AM As a woman who plays WoW with my husband and my three nephews I can tell you it can be a great learning tool. The key word being *can*.
The quests encourage children to read them. Though I've seen some people say you can skip them, I've found you really are not encouraged to do so. At some point you need to figure out where to go, what to do, and who to return to for your reward.
WoW encourages reading but not just the quests. In order to communicate in the game on the channels you have to read and type. In order to talk to guildies you often post and read thier forums.
There are many skills kids can get some practice using in WoW. From working in team environments, Organizing thier bank space, time management, goal settings, diplomacy, building friendships, and just plain communication skills.
A game isn't just a game no matter what game you are talking about. From Candy Land to WoW there is always something to learn. Play is the universal form of learning for both humans and animals. So if any one of you still don't believe this try taking some sociology or animal science courses and you might just be amazed.
Tips for new Death Knights from a fellow melee, part 1 {WoW}
Oct 2nd 2008 12:49AM [quote]Allison Robert has just officially started her campaign of Elitest faggotry, and wining Douchebag of the Year for 08" [/quote]
So your mad cause she stated an opinion that *most* of them are aweful. Yet you sink low to using horrible words. Are you not being elitist yourself here in this statement and others you make? You might want to re-read it.
[quote]First rule of that qualifies you as Elitest, saying you're better than someone else, because they play differently than you. [/quote]
Could this not also be spun to say your filling this first rule by saying you're better than she is because she doesn't write the same way as you?
[quote]but her format and personal opinion should NOT by any means affect her posts, but should add a nice flare and voice to her writing. [/quote]
Wouldn't flare and voice affect her posts? This makes no sense to me.
[quote]I overreact because that is how you get points across to the ignorant and unwilling. If you hook the reader they will listen and even if you "spew homophobic hate speech" they will get past that and see hey, format was uncalled for. [/quote]
So again you got mad at her for saying some players were bad yet your saying you have to overreact to get your points acrossed to the ingorant and unwilling. Number one this statement is not correct. You don't have to overreact to be heard and number two just who are you calling ignorant and unwlling? The author or everyone your making your point to? Seems now your insulting everyone since your point was aimed at Wowinsider staff etc etc.
And what point are you making in the last sentence here? At first I thought you were being sarcastic about the author but then I thought maybe you were talking about yourself. So your justifying your use of homophobic hate-speech? But you expect everyone to get past that to see that her format was uncalled for? What about your format? Was that not also uncalled for?
The article was okay. Informative yes. Tone not for me but I won't sit here and blast the author over it. At least they are trying to be helpful.

Breakfast Topic: Dialing back your game {WoW}
Sep 28th 2008 8:59AM This argument, though a valid fear, I think in time will be proven not stuch a big deal. Do folks generally only do regular instances in BC or do you find folks doing both regular and heroic? Do you think the 10 man vs 25 man is going to be any different? There will be plenty of folks who will want to do one type or the other.
As it stands having the option to pick regular instance runs or heroic runs has worked out really well. I can see this working out the same way.

The Feast of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini November 13
Preparations Continue Inside and Out
The National Shrine of St. Frances X. Cabrini
Father Theodore Ploplis, the rector of the National Shrine of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in Chicago hopes that its reopening will mean a return to prominence for the indomitable woman who labored to help immigrant communities in North America.
The National Shrine of Mother Cabrini should be one of the most significant shrines that people [can be] coming to for spiritual guidance and to learn about our first American saint, Fr. Ploplis told EWTN News on May 17.
Its not going to be a museum. Its going to be a place of worship for devotion to the saints.
Mother Cabrinis national shrine closed in 2002 when the surrounding Columbus Hospital was shuttered and eventually torn down. Before the hospital was demolished, Mother Cabrinis hospital room was dismantled, moved, and rebuilt as an annex to the shrine.
All of the things that were in her room when she passed away have been preserved, Fr. Ploplis said.
Restorers even found Mother Cabrinis address book.
You never think of a saint having an address book with phone numbers of people that she knew and kept in touch with, the rector remarked.
In preparation for the reopening of the Shrine, Chicago historian Ellen Skerrett has been researching historical accounts of Mother Cabrinis works, her beatification and canonization. This week, Ms. Skerretts research has taken her to Cabrini College in Radnor, PA where under the aegis of Missionary Sisters Joan McGlinchey and Mary Louise Sullivan she has been working with the Assistant Library Director Anne Schwelm, who also serves as the unofficial curator of the Cabriniana Room, which is housed in the Holy Spirit Library on campus. The Cabriniana Room is a repository for many precious artifacts, historic news articles and documents pertaining to Mother Cabrini.
Cardinal Francis George will reopen the Shrine, which can seat 350 people, this September 30, in a celebration expected to attract city officials and people from throughout the world.
Those who met Mother Cabrini said they were in the presence of someone who could move mountains, Fr. Ted added, comparing her confidence to that of St. Pauls letters.
She was a woman who believed in Philippians: I can do all things in God who strengthens me, the priest said.

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, there is no better time to start planning your Thanksgiving dinner menu and selecting wines to complement the feast. Historically, the week before Thanksgiving is a great time to buy wine, as many wine merchants run specials on preferred wines.
Now, if you're thinking of pairing a wine with all the Thanksgiving accoutrements - stop! That would be maddening. From appetizers, white and dark turkey meat, mashed potatoes, yams, herb-filled stuffing, cranberry relish, pickled this and peppered that, all the way to pumpkin or pecan pie and Cool Whip fruit salad, is there truly a single wine that can take you seamlessly from start to finish?
Enter sparkling wines, an increasingly popular pairing partner - and not just for the holidays. Sparkling wines bring both elegance and phenomenal food-pairing versatility to virtually any meal but with Thanksgiving, these wines really shine.
Look for dry (not sweet, like Moscato d'Asti), sparkling French or American wine.
The art of pairing wines with food is largely a matter of personal preference, and if you're not ready to try drinking Champagne throughout your entire dinner, there are other options. pinot noir, sangiovese and zinfandel (for red wine lovers) and sauvignon blanc, riesling, gewurztraminer and viognier (for those who prefer white wines) will all complement your Thanksgiving feast.
With white wines, the pairing priority is finding a wine with well-balanced acidity. With reds you are shooting for fairly mild tannins that will support the flavors of the food.
I recommend purchasing some red and some white, because with a large group of people, you will usually have a difference in personal preference.
If you still aren't comfortable going to the store and picking up a bottle of any of the above mentioned varietals, just ask someone working in the store. The employees of liquor stores are generally very knowledgeable (at least one person there will be) about wine, and many groceries (my local Safeway, for instance) have a beverage manager in the liquor department to help you with specific pairing questions.

well lets see what i can answer for you.
january is a good time to go as far as keeping your dog out of the hot weather. the pavement wouldn't be too bad and even if the doggy's paws got hot, you can always splash some water on them. theres also lots of places you can sit in the shade for a bit so both you and the dog can rest and cool down. when we were there in febuary racer (our dog) was fine.
the characters are more than willing to take pictures with the you and the dog. we got a great one with racer and tigger nose to nose. racer was a little nervous with the characters the first time around but he was fine once he gave them a thorough sniff.
at guest services, you can get a pamphlet (or however you spell it) that will give you a list of rides the dog can't go on, and where there's potty spots. the CMs are very helpful and will typically escort you backstage to let the dog relieve itself.
if theres anything else i can answer please let me know! i have to say you are right when you say its like traveling with a child. but once you get the hang of it, things should be fine.

Carlo Reinhart, a young American army medic stationed in Germany, confronts a disturbing new world following the end of World War II. Living in Berlin, a city fractured into barricaded sectors by the occupying powers, Reinhart begins to drive himself mad with memories of the evils he has witnessed and questions about how the atrocities took place. When he meets an idealistic Jew named Nathan Schild, Reinhart's turmoil grows more acute. Schild works for both the Americans and the Russians, and he becomes a flashpoint for Reinhart's anguish over the world's vast contradictions. When Schild's escapades lead to a powerful turning point, Reinhart is forced to come to terms with life's ambiguities as well as with his own evolving identity.
A debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives.
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She's even started to feel like she knows them. "Jess and Jason," she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

Santonio Holmes (Lisfranc) to IR #nyj
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) October 3, 2012
Not the most surprising news of the day, but it's worth reporting. Holmes suffered a gruesome foot injury that ended in the most comedic way possible on Sunday. The Jets have signed Jason Hill to replace Holmes in a sign the Jets may finally be done with the sham signings that have set the franchise further off course.
Though owner Woody Johnson is putting his country first this year – cough bullshit cough – it seems he's finally learned. Plaxico Burress, Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocino were staring him in the face and he didn't blink. Progress!

You were required to eat 1200 calories with several choices for each meal as well as snacks. You could also attend a clinic or university which ever it was I am not sure that was mentioned with this plan.This now was being made known to the public. People were losing unbelievable amounts of weight on this plan. I accidently threw my mag away and now I am very disgusted I cannot remember the diet. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I wish I could help. I buy Woman's World every week, and there is always some diet promotedd. I know First also has a good variety of diets that they publish. Do you remember what the main "theme" or ingredients may be? Most of their diets consist of 1200 calories, no matter what food groups they promote, because anything lower would not be healthy. Was it a cleansing diet? Low Carb? 6 meals a day? Do you remember how long ago the magazine was published? Maybe if you go to each of their sites and do a search, or if they each have a community forum, you may be able to find out a little more. I remember the Kimkins Diet - here is a link if you recall this one: |

Hi- :) I wanted to let you know that Kimkins.com is involved in a pending class Lawsuit action for the fraud committed by the owner Kimmer/Heidi Diaz. The success stories were mainly fake and pictures from a Russian bride site. You can sign-up for the lawsuit to get your membership fee back and to join does not require you to go to court and doesn't cost you a dime. Please check out my blog for the national media exposure that the diet has received. |
