Buy Comic Books
If you are a comic book collector you will need to be careful when you buy comic books. You will need to carefully check its condition and quality. These are a great factor for its preservation and resell value.
The next time you buy comic books look for great deals. The internet is a great way to find good comic books. You can even find rare items. It is also another medium of finding the missing piece in your comic book collection.
In purchasing those comic collections on the net, you will need paypal. This is a mode of payment that is being widely used on the net. Paypal is a great way to receive, send, or pay for items you bought online. No membership fees are required. Just sign in at there website and you can start your shopping online.
You can surf the various websites on the internet for great finds. You can try eBay. They have great collections of comic books that are on auction. You can also check other great websites. Just google it and you will be provided with ultimate hgh great links.
If you are not sure of the prices of comic books, then it is wise to check it out first. You can visit overstreet comic book guide. This has been a great help for me too. Check the prices on good condition comic books and those that are in poor conditions. By doing this, you will have an idea of how much you should pay when you buy comic books that you really like.
It is also important to take note of the reserved price of a comic book that is being auctioned. You have to be vigilant on the prices during the last hour of the auction. If you have decided to buy the comic book, be sure to pay it right away.
When you buy comic books take note of how the item was described and upon receiving the item be sure to check it right away. Check if the item is what the buyer was telling about it. You only have a week or less to have it replaced or else the seller would not grant your request for refund or replacement.

Saving the Test

In view of your intense excitement, you might not remember the announcement but on that same day I was opening my first can as Viv strode to the wicket at the start of play when the tannoy asked that I go to the Secretary's office immediately. I was met there by a uniformed policeman whose first words were the classic 'there's nothing to worry about, sir'. My five year-old son had been admitted to hospital after cracking his skull on the pavement while executing "Batman jumps" from the cill of our bay window. I spent the rest of the day in King's College Hospital.
It was a memorable day for me too. - 22 November 2013 at 09:19

My first day was the Friday v Australia at The Oval the year before. Australia batted for most of the day but Lillee and Thomson had a burst before stumps. I suppose that collectively they were my Holding (who I saw at Lord's the following year, running in from as near to the pavilion ropes as I've seen to this day).
Younger people wouldn't believe how significant the traditional cushions of the day (green on one side, red on the other) were. The old benches were murder to sit on without them.
Another abiding memory of my early trips to The Oval was of vast sections of the crowd throwing said cushions into the air in celebration when Chris Tavaré scored a run after about an hour of soporific
scorelessness in 1981.
Now he could block. - 24 November 2013 at 02:24

Mike, I don't, but sorry you missed the king. I hope your son was reminded of the occasion from time to time...
Would love to have seen those two in 75 Brian. Think I didn't see them until the Centenary Test maybe, the one at Lord's. Will have to check the scorecard... - 26 November 2013 at 03:01

My first day at a test was Boxing Day 1990. We climbed up an eternity of steps that prohibited leaving our seats for much of the day to perch at the top of the old Olympic stand at the MCG. They were rebuilding the Southern Stand at the time, so we could see out over the parks at the Nylex sign as it counted out the minutes and the temperature.
I recall the cheer when Atherton popped up a ball off Bruce Reid to short leg, and Gooch going shortly after to Atherton, but my attention clearly waned on the very distant figures below, running threes over a slow outfield. Without being able to see the replay screen which was over my shoulder or the boisterous fans below I suspect I day-dreamed for most of it. The scorecard says was a breezy Gower innings late in the day, but my last recollection was that they were 4 down for 230 odd, which even now seems to be neither here nor there.
Enjoyed this piece Jon, but I disagree that test cricket is anachronistic. I think, 20 years ago, when blockbuster sport was the selling point, and people still crowded around television sets to watch big events, test cricket was an anachronism. But in today's 24/7 multi-channel multi-platform media environment, test cricket offers the kind-of come-and-go ubiquity of content that suits the modern world. I don't think it is being sold properly or well, and as a "product" the lack of context is disastrous, but as a format I'm quite bullish on its future. - 2 December 2013 at 03:38

In Brief
Robert Edwards, the British scientist who developed in vitro fertilization, recently earned the Nobel Prize for Medicine. This achievement has put new attention on a procedure that has resulted in more than three million births worldwide since 1978.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a laboratory procedure in which sperm are placed with an unfertilized egg in a Petri dish to achieve fertilization. The embryo is then transferred into the uterus to begin a pregnancy or frozen for future use. Today, about 1 percent of infants born in the United States are conceived through assisted reproductive technologies, and 99 percent of those use in vitro fertilization, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
IVF has been provided at Crozer-Chester Medical Center since 1992 by Albert El-Roeiy, M.D., and his team at the HAN Fertility Center. The Fertility Center has performed hundreds of these procedures.
"I was thrilled to see Robert Edwards receive such prestigious recognition for his decades of work. In vitro fertilization is an amazing procedure that has allowed many families with fertility problems to experience the joy of parenthood," El-Roeiy says.
The Fertility Center provides comprehensive IVF services, from oocyte retrieval to embryo transfers. The Center also offers embryo freezing, also known as cyropreservation.
Crozer's IVF laboratory underwent an extensive renovation in 2005, creating a state-of-the-art environment. The physical layout of the laboratory was reconfigured to provide space for new equipment that streamlined efforts in the lab. Every component in the lab, from the cabinetry to the air handler, was hand-selected by experts in IVF laboratory design to provide ultra-clean facilities.
In addition to IVF, the HAN Fertility Center also offers Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). Used in conjunction with IVF, PGD permits genetic testing on the resulting embryos before they are transferred to the mother.
PGD may be recommended for patients if it is likely that their embryos will be affected by certain chromosomal/genetic conditions. These conditions can prevent implantation of embryos, lead to pregnancy loss, or result in the birth of a child with mental and/or physical disabilities. The procedure is ideal for patients that are of advanced maternal age, have a history of miscarriage, recurrent IVF failure, male favor infertility and known family genetic abnormalities or diseases.
For patients considering IVF, the Fertility Center offers innovative "multi-cycle" package plans that make the process of achieving a healthy pregnancy more affordable – and, possibly, more successful.
IVF treatments are usually given in "cycles" that include a range of related diagnostic and laboratory services. If a couple does not achieve pregnancy after the first cycle, they have the option to elect for additional cycles. However, because the additional cycles are traditionally offered at the same cost as the first cycle, the escalating costs can often limit patients' opportunities for additional treatments.
Under the Center's multi-cycle plans, patients can prepay for two or three IVF cycles. The packages bundle all of the related services together, helping the patient achieve substantial cost savings compared to if they were to pay for the services individually.
"Our patients have peace of mind from knowing that they will receive the highest quality of fertility care at the most affordable pricing when they commit to one of our multi-cycle packages. Patients are more relaxed from the onset with the knowledge that they have multiple chances to achieve a pregnancy and take home a baby," El-Roeiy says.

I wouldn't use crazy glue....mono filament fish line is an option...liquid nails...E6000 are good to hold them in place until they attach to the stone or wood you mount to. Nothing is permenant if it is constantly wet...once the roots attach then the plant should be stable |

February 2013 issue – page 45
On behalf of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, welcome to our world-renowned road racing facility. Our communications department is standing by to provide you with prompt, accurate and helpful assistance to make your job easier and your experience memorable.
To ensure a safe working environment, certain policies and guidelines have been established, which are discussed below. Individuals requesting a media credential must be currently working on assignment and fully complete the online application form.
A: The deadlines to apply for a media credential are as follows:
Event Date
A1. All requests must be made online. (Please see special instructions below for Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix requirements.)
A2. Media credentials are only issued to journalists from legitimate and recognized news outlets. This includes: newspapers, magazine, news services, racing publications, television and radio. Spouses or significant others may not apply.
Internet-only sites will only be considered and approved if they regularly report on sports, motor racing or automotive-related news. Enthusiast and fan websites, or those that cover one team or driver, will not be approved for a media credential. Team credentials must be obtained from that team.
A3. Credentials must be requested by the editor on company letterhead with his/her contact information, should verification be required. Previous proof of published racing coverage from within the past year may be requested.
A4. The request is incomplete, is not from an approved media outlet or too many individuals have applied from a single outlet. Requests will automatically be denied from individuals in marketing, public relations, sales, etc. Only working journalists are eligible for media credentials.
A5. Due to insurance requirements, photo credentials are extremely limited and only available to qualified photographers. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca does not issue photo credentials to freelance photographers or stock photo services that are unable to provide an affiliation to a credible and approved media outlet.
All photographers must attend a mandatory photographers meeting held inside the Media Center to receive numbered photo vests. Meetings are typically held each morning to review vantage points, safety rules, gate access and any event-related updates. Nobody is allowed entrance into the designated photo stations without an issued photo vest.
A6. If your media credential was approved, each media outlet will typically receive one parking pass. This is due to the limited onsite parking.
A7. All media credentials must be individually obtained from the media registrar located at the Embassy Suites hotel in Seaside. Photo identification is required, and a liability and risk waiver must be signed before the credential is furnished. The Embassy Suites hotel is located approximately 10 miles from Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Directions and hours will be provided upon acceptance.
A8. Media credentials allow access to the Media Center, which is the three-story building located in the paddock near the start/finish line. Seating and Internet access is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Printed Media Accreditation Only publications whose coverage is considered to be of promotional benefit to MotoGP events will be accredited. This includes lifestyle, economy or consumer publications not intending to publish conventional race reports. Major news and photo agencies are considered printed media.
Coverage Daily publications and agencies are required to produce wide coverage of the event, with follow-up articles of the whole event. Weekly or monthly publications are required to produce wide coverage of the event, and a significant part of the content must be on MotoGP.
Circulation The number of published copies for publications requiring accreditation must be at least 40,000 for dailies and at least 10,000 for weeklies or monthlies.
Quality Only publications with high standards of professionalism and accuracy in their reporting may seek accreditation.
Format Printed publications do not include digital or online publications and only paper editions can be considered "printed media."
Availability No "free of charge" publication can be accredited. Publications must be available to the public in sales outlets.
Pass Holders Accreditation for the MotoGP events is restricted to professional journalists and photographers. Therefore, under no circumstances will media credentials be issued to marketing or commercial representatives of media, advertising or public relations agencies, sponsors, suppliers, teams or additional riders.

Number of Representatives per Media A maximum of three representatives (journalists and/or photographers) may be accredited per publication or agency. However, as an exception four passes can be given when: • The coverage previously produced or planned merits more passes and the allocation of more passes is not detrimental to the interest of other media parties in covering the event or to the capacity of the Media Center. • The publication is important for the venue of the event because of the coverage they produce throughout the year.

The best options for CDs when interest rates are low
July 07, 2011
You may not be seriously considering investing in a certificate of deposit this year. Even the best CD rates are at a historic low these days, and some aren't any better than the interest rates being paid for an online savings account.
To make matters worse for those searching for the best CD rates, the pace of inflation in some cases is higher than the rate for CDs. According to Forbes, for instance, as recently as April the best CD rates were five-year certificates of deposit paying 2.40 percent. At the time, the inflation rate was 3.16 percent, which means your money would lose value sitting in investments like that.
When even the best CD rates get better
But interest rates won't always be this low. According to the Wall Street Journal, many economists feel the Federal Reserve will start raising interest rates as soon as early next year, and once the Fed turns that corner, it often continues on that course for a while. For two years starting in June 2004, the Fed raised its target interest rate 17 consecutive times.
That means investments like money market funds--mutual funds that specialize in relatively safe, short-term investments--will start to look much more appealing. So will money market accounts and savings accounts; although interest rates for those products are averaging 0.17 percent, the Journal said, rising interest rates could put banks into a competition that prompts them to offer higher money market rates and better savings accounts.
The best rates for CDs are not as responsive. Although the interest rate for CDs will undoubtedly go up if the Fed raises its target interest rates, those rates could start to climb while you're stuck in a low-interest CD.
Other options for CDs
There are ways to profit from CDs when the interest rates are going up. Here are some products that might appeal to you:
- Unpenalized withdrawal CDs. Although most CDs will charge you for withdrawing your money before the term is up, some don't - and these are perfect for when there is an interest rate jump and you want to make some money off of it.
- Step-up CDs. These come with built-in interest rate increases that come up at specific intervals.
- Bump-up CDs. These allow investors the opportunity to request one interest rate increase to prevailing rates. The key is knowing when that interest rate has peaked.
There are some other options, too. One is to "ladder" your CDs, which means you invest in a number of different CDs and stagger the terms at which they will mature. That way you will always have some money come free--and available to re-invest at a higher interest rate.
Before buying any certificate of deposit, make sure you understand how long your money will be tied up and what that ramifications are if you need to withdraw early.

ABOFA (American Banco of Asia) interest rates are 1.27% monthly! That is over 15,30% per year. And this is if you only have a balance of $1000. Some higher deposit amounts have higher interest rates and additional options. For me, the BEST is American Banco of Asia. I started using ABOFA savings accounts last year. They pay interest rates on time(I selected the quarterly payment option). They have quick online support to answer my questions. I fully recommend ABOFA.

- More than five years after the financial crisis taught us about the evils of collateralized-debt obligations, mortgage-backed securities and anything else Wall Street could package for sale, it turns out some forms of securitization actually work and make sense. More importantly, securitization is a necessary part of the financial world. The quiet and steady comeback of securitization. Not everybody is thrilled
- If you only think of JPMorgan Chase & Co. as a giant bank that paid out $20 billion in legal settlements last year, you would be missing the performance of the main banking business, which is now sitting pretty for a rising rate cycle. How JPMorgan played it safe on interest rates, and how that is paying off now. The timing could not have been better
- Forget "Bridgegate" or whatever kitten videos you might be watching on YouTube today, this is a story that could unfold to become a real mess. Don't let the apparent complexities of the subject deter you from paying attention, because this is involves an important $5.3 trillion-a-day global foreign exchange market. Currency traders suspended at Deutsche Bank. Alleged manipulation of global currency markets
- General Motors is slated to pay its first quarterly dividend since May 2008. 15 straight quarters of profits
- Just because you're making more than making minimum wage doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention to this debate, especially since the analysis gets loopier by the day. More minimum wage math. Business owners take a pay cut
Securitization makes a comeback
Plus: How JPMorgan is positioned for rising rates, Deutsche Bank suspends currency traders, GM pays a dividend, and more minimum wage math

Configuring Layers¶
GeoWebCache's main configuration file is geowebcache.xml. It is located inside the servlet directory, WEB-INF/classes/geowebcache.xml.
If you wish to use a specific location, you can open WEB-INF\geowebcache-servlet.xml and modify the gwcXmlConfig bean definition. It contains examples for setting absolute and relative paths, uncomment one of these and modify it as needed.
Useful Tools¶
You can either use a special XML tool or a general text editor to edit geowebcache.xml. jEdit is a great editor that includes support for XML Schema Documents (XSD files). The advantage is that it can tell you right away if you are missing a tag or have placed elements out of order.
The order of the XML elements is crucial!
If you do not use such a tool you can still verify the document. On UNIX derivatives you can usually use xmllint, or you can upload your file to an online service such as http://www.validome.org/xml/
GeoWebCache validates the XML file against the schema during startup and will report errors, so be sure to check the logs if the layers do not behave as expected. If in doubt, be sure to reference the schema documentation, which will be updated for every stable release: http://geowebcache.org/schema/docs/

Regardless of what happens in the Perth Test, it will be a watershed for Michael Clarke. He knows nothing of Test cricket that doesn't involve Ricky Ponting. His challenge now is to define a new era alone

Ponting's honesty stood out - Chappell
Australia v South Africa at Perth
South Africa tour of Australia
| South Africa
There was a fitting sense of symmetry in Ricky Ponting's decision to leave Test cricket after the upcoming Perth Test, and not just because the WACA is where his career began 17 years ago. Should Australia send Ponting off with his 109th Test victory, they will return to the top of the ICC's Test rankings. Under Ponting's leadership, Australia sat at No.1 for five-and-a-half years. For most of his career they were the best side in the world, even if rankings didn't exist to confirm it.
The remarkable nature of that achievement has only become fully apparent since Australia fell from the top with their 2009 Ashes debacle. South Africa spent a few months at No.1. India were there for a year and a bit. England occupied top spot for 12 months. Now South Africa are back, but it could be temporary. The concept of any team remaining at the pinnacle for as long as the Australians did is becoming hard to fathom.
There are players in Michael Clarke's team who, until the past couple of years, knew nothing of Australian cricket except success. Josh Hazlewood, who may well make his Test debut in Ponting's farewell game, is too young to remember the match in which Ponting was handed his baggy green. Hazlewood was four years old at the time. By the time he finished primary school, Australia were firmly in the middle of their golden era.
The same goes for Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, James Pattinson. These are the young men who grew up knowing only the triumph of the Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting eras. They are also the ones who will help Clarke define his own era. Whether that post-Ponting period will begin with Australia at No.1 remains to be seen. Under Ponting, Australia's highs were stratospheric but the lows were pitiful, as anyone who saw the 2010-11 Ashes will attest. Fairytales, such as leaving with the team at No.1, don't always come true.
Regardless of what plays out over the next five days at the WACA, it will be a watershed for Clarke. Apart from the odd match in which his predecessor was injured, he knows nothing of Test cricket that doesn't involve Ponting. Clarke has been his own man as captain, more adventurous and assured in his thinking than any leader since Mark Taylor, but Ponting has always been there as a sounding board. The way Clarke choked up while speaking about Ponting on Thursday showed the high regard in which he holds him.
Whether Australia reach No.1 in Perth is immaterial to their long-term goals. Two years ago they sat fifth on the ICC's list. Rankings are fluid. Clarke's challenge will be not only to steer his side back to the pinnacle, but to keep them there. Five-and-a-half years might be asking a bit too much, but a brief touch of the fingertips to the peak only to slip back down will be unsatisfying.
"It's not so much the ranking, it's to be the best," Clarke said. "That's what you strive for every day as a player and as a team. We want to be the best we can be. That doesn't mean you get to No.1 in five minutes. It takes a lot of hard work. To stay there is even harder. We've still got a lot of work to do to get to being the No.1 Test team. Five tough days of Test cricket, and if we are lucky enough to get there, we've got a hell of a lot of work to do to stay there."
Just as a hell of a lot of work went into Australia's golden era under Waugh and Ponting, the presence of freakishly talented men like Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist notwithstanding. Besides Clarke himself, there might not be any obvious candidates to carry Australia through the next few years in quite the same way, but he has at his disposal the building blocks of a very strong side.
In 15 years, will Australian cricket be farewelling a Test veteran like David Warner, or Usman Khawaja, or Phillip Hughes? Who knows? They can all look back at the end of their careers and say they played with Ponting. That's not a small list: 81 men have played Test cricket with Ponting, nearly one-fifth of the 429 men who have ever worn the baggy green. Clarke's challenge is to give his players their own golden era to look back on.

The Legend of Zelda, Louie and more new releases for this week, June 21, 2011
Just because it's summer doesn't mean we can't all sit indoors and consume entertainment. After all, the hotter and nicer it gets outside, the more you need to just relax and unwind in front of the TV or a good book. Unfortunately, there are apparently no books being released this week, but we do have plenty of other recommendations for ways to use your time this week, including a remake of one of the critics' favorites games of all time, science fiction love, offensive humor and plenty more.
Louie: Season 1 (DVD, Blue-Ray)
We've never been clear exactly how Louis CK managed to sell his show to the FX Network, but somehow he did, and the socially awkward, self-loathing comedian has been rocking ever since. In the time-honored tradition of nearly every comedian-turned-sitcom actor, Louis essentially plays himself, which works out rather well considering he's one of comedy's most wrongheaded and offensive standups. Provided you're not very politically correct, you'll find a lot to laugh at here. But if you're easily offended, you should probably keep as far away as possible.
Trenched (XBLA)
At its core, Trenched is a tower defense game. But if you're willing to dig into it a bit, it's so much more than that. Coming from Double Fine, the studio behind Costume Quest, Stacked, Retronauts and others, it's a game that looks simple on the surface, but is filled with more depth than most full-priced games. That's because it's not just a tower-defense game -- it's a tower-defense game where you can control one character, in this case a mech called a Trench. It's also a game filled with the studio's trademark earnest humor, well designed characters and superb dialogue. Tons of customization, online multiplayer and hours upon hours of gameplay -- all for just $15.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (3DS)
There have been plenty of people out there willing to call Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time the greatest game in existence. So when Nintendo decided to update it with fancy new graphics, 3D support and motion controls for its new 3DS handheld, people started claiming again that it was the best game in existence. While that's certainly not entirely true, it is a damn fine game and one worth playing or replaying -- provided you're one of the few to actually purchase a 3DS.
Plastic Farm, by Rafer Roberts
Plastic Farm is not your normal graphic novel. Starring Chester Carter, it tells the story of a man abandoned at birth and raised in a haunted psychiatric hospital. Inside his head is a dinosaur-riding cowboy and possibly a collection of the characters he meets as he tells his life story to anyone who will listen at an airport bar. Among those people are cannibal famers, zombie cops, religious zealots and plenty more. What's real and what's imagined isn't even a question here -- it's more about how far reality can be pushed before something gets destroyed.

Resurfacing our pool. In the process, we are replacing the spa light size light with a pool light size light. PB drilled out old niche and replaced with a pool size niche.
Niche is not perfectly centered, top mounting screw is not at 12 o'clock (closer to 10), and niche does not appear to be pointing perfectly towards the center of the pool (we have a rounded pool wall and this looks like it is due to it not being perfectly centered. Any advice? Should we have PB tear out Niche and re-align??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
JChris1, Replacing niche is difficult in a spa because you have to work with the existing conduit to make the connection. Mounting screw location is not a concern, but the niche should align with the wall correctly. That is just part of the job. |

Flipping a complete 180-degrees, Kimberly Florsheim, of Keller-Williams Realty-Parishwide Partners, said this morning that she will no longer be working on improvements at Mellor Park Mall.
On March 20, Florsheim confirmed she'd been tapped to take over management of the long-neglected mall.
However, during a brief conversation with the News-Times Thursday morning, Florsheim first advised that she'd given the newspaper's phone number to the mall owner and said to expect his call. She then abruptly terminated the phone call mid-question.
Upon again calling Florsheim, she answered, "Allison, I do not have a comment for you. I do not talk to newspapers. I'm not doing anything over there."
Before hanging up, she advised that she didn't have a phone number for the mall manager.

How to Alleviate Back Pain Naturally
The spine is made up of many parts, including vertebrae, discs, facet joints and muscles. Vertebrae are the major bones in the spine and discs are cushions between the vertebrae. Facet joints allow the back to bend and twist. The muscles help to stabilize the back and protect the bones and discs from injury. Pain in the back can be caused by a number of things such as osteoarthritis, a bulging disc, pinched nerves, strained muscles and even pregnancy. In many cases, it is possible to reduce back pain naturally without surgery or the potential side effects and drug interactions of many medications. Follow these suggestions to learn how to alleviate back pain naturally.
1Massage the affected area if you can reach, or have a friend help. Massage involves applying pressure to sore or tight muscles, thereby lessening the tension and helping you to relax.Ad
2Employ the use of a lumbar pillow. This is a small pillow that rests at the natural curve in your back as you sit in a chair. It helps to keep your spine in proper alignment.
3Stretch the back thoroughly.
- An effective stretch for pain in the low back is to lie on your back and bring your knees up to your chest. Hold this position for at least 10 seconds then release. Repeat as necessary until the tension begins to subside. You can even try rocking from side to side, giving your kidneys a bit of massage.[citation needed]
- An effective stretch for pain on one or both sides of the back is to lie on your back with your arms stretched out to your sides. Bend one knee and slowly roll onto the side opposite the bent knee. Roll as far as you can while keeping both shoulders flat on the ground. Hold this position for at least 10 seconds then switch sides. Repeat this stretch, alternating sides, until the tension begins to subside.
4Seek the treatment of a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor. These physicians rarely prescribe (or even have the authority to prescribe) medications for back pain, but instead, help to align the spine naturally through a series of adjustments.
5Exercise the back once any acute pain has subsided. Certain exercises can strengthen the back muscles and take the strain off of joints and ligaments.
- Swimming, water walking and water aerobics are very low impact exercises that strengthen many muscles at once.
- On your hands and knees, tighten your abdominal muscles. Then raise one leg off the floor and hold it straight out behind you. Do not to let your hip drop down, because that may twist your back. Hold this position for approximately 10 to 30 seconds and then switch legs. Repeat 8 to 12 times per side. Once you feel stable, you might try lifting the opposite arm and pointing it straight out in front of you while holding the leg out at the same time.
6Use a foam roller. A foam roller is a device that helps muscle and tendon strain. If your back is really painful, choose a softer foam roller; as you get stronger, move to a harder one. Some exercises to try include:
- Laying on your back, place the foam roller under your lower back. Roll back and forth using your feet to push yourself. The roller should massage and strengthen the lower back.
- For upper and middle back, place the foam roller between your middle back and a wall. While applying constant pressure against the roller, crouch down and stand back up, allowing the roller to massage the back and strengthen the legs.
7Meditate or take deep breaths. This can often provide natural back pain relief as well as relief to other areas because it improves the supply of oxygen to all of your muscles while helping you to relax.Ad

printer fixes?
- Prevention is very important in protecting your back against stress or injury. Some examples of back pain prevention include the following: Always bend your legs when lifting heavy objects. Also try to employ the use of a back-brace or belt when lifting. Avoid twisting as you lift. Try to stretch your muscles thoroughly before attempting any strenuous activity or exercise. Stretching helps get the muscles ready for movement by providing extra blood flow to the area.
- The most important element to relieving pain is to relax the back muscles.Muscles compensate for the spine when injured and are usually the true cause of pain. Most injuries do not cause severe pain. Locked up tight back muscles cause pain and continue to put additional strain on the spine. Stretching is a must. However hydrating your body with at least 8-10, 8oz glasses of water a day is important. As well, try to get the daily allowance of calcium, magnesium and potassium. All these play an important roll in muscle relaxation through the regulation of nerve impulses and maintaining the proper balance of water in muscles. Once your body is properly hydrated and muscles relaxed they will loosen up their grip on the spine. The spine is the second fastest healing area in the body after the liver. Spinal fluid is dense with nutrients and given the ability to move that fluid, without tense muscles pulling the spine... it will aid in the healing of minor injuries.
- If you believe in homeopathic treatments, consider the application of homeopathic treatments to relieve back pain naturally. Creams such as ginger paste followed by eucalyptus oil or St. John's wort applied to the affected areas can help ease pain. Ice packs can also reduce inflammation.

Joe Messina's sentence for ruining a person's life forever: 30 months' probation. In May the sentence for James Malecek, whose one punch killed Kevin Kennelly, of Chicago's Beverly community, received 145 days in jail. The judges gave these two immature thugs a get-out-jail-free card. The message these verdicts send other thugs is: If it's your first offense you can get away with murder as long as you say it wasn't premeditated. A much better sentence for young Messina would have been to be Eric Bartels' caregiver for life. Maybe this would teach Messina something. This sentence will teach him nothing.
Give the Democrats a break. It's the perfect time for Hillary Clinton, former U.S. Secretary of State, to run for president. The Democrats are coming off of a historic presidency run with the first black man to be elected president, and they bet they can do it again with the first woman president. They claim to be for the little guy yet it seems like they have some of the biggest political machines running their party. So they'll run Mrs. Clinton as an underdog in the public with the full power of the liberal machine behind her.

According to the Center for Economic and Policy Research, if minimum wage had kept up with inflation since its peak in 1968, the federal minimum wage would now be $10.75 per hour. And if the minimum wage had grown along with workers' productivity, it would be as high as $17.19 now. It's great to have low-wage jobs for young people and students, but minimum wage jobs are now needed by adults with families to support. College graduates are not finding jobs and are mostly saddled with high debt.
Term limits are unlikely. As the Term Limit Commission wraps it up, it looks as if the only way the majority of Tinley Park voters who endorsed term limits will get them is by going to the polls. Unless residents make the effort to pay attention, this once quaint little village — which is becoming a town of haves and have-nots — will continue to have elected and appointed officials with the undeniable advantage of incumbency and who continue to reign. Perhaps the next referendum should request a restructuring with wards, where all residents would be more equally represented.

Who do they think they are kidding with these speed cameras? Chicago is getting so greedy for money that they are finding more ways to take it from the people. Every time you turn around they have their hands in our pockets. Mr. Bully aka Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel just keeps hitting the taxpayers. I'd like to know where you are getting the money to put in these speed cameras. You people are sick. I think we need to put cameras in Springfield and Chicago City Hall to show the money being wasted there.

Professor St. James is not teaching morality; he is teaching psychology and apparently has been doing so well for quite some time.

Yes, however he doesn't need to be punished, especially by people who have only newspaper knowledge of his life, for his actions.

Almost as bad as the loss of employment was the loss of identity. "It was a way of life," says Ernie Kuhlman, Silverton's mayor. "Mining was my life one way or the other since I was born. I loved the camaraderie, the good money. It was hard work, but you felt good about what you did."
To many people who lived in Silverton before the mine closed, letting go has been hard, and the exodus of the mining company is still news. "There are a lot of people who still talk constantly about the mines leaving," says Bill Norman, the San Juan County administrator.
Ten years after it stopped pulling ore out of the mountains, Sunnyside is nearly gone. A half-dozen workers remain to work on reclamation; that project should be complete sometime toward the end of this year. Perino, whose grandfather moved to Silverton from Italy and whose father worked in the mine before him, has been in charge of the job. "It's not likely I'll stay in Silverton when the mine shuts for good," he says. "There's really nothing here for me."
Perino will be one of the last to leave. In the decade since Sunnyside closed, the town has foundered badly. Most of the miners moved away quickly to search for jobs. In 1990, the U.S. Census counted 716 Silverton residents. By last year, the number had dropped to just over 400, making San Juan one of only a couple of Colorado counties that saw a drop in population over the past decade.
Most devastating to the town, though, has been the disappearance of households. In 1990, 191 families called Silverton home. Today, the number is closer to a hundred. "Our families have moved out," says Erickson. "Most held on as long as they could and then reluctantly left."
Naturally, the loss of the town's children has been felt most acutely in the county's only school. Last year, 79 children attended classes in the single, century-old three-story brick building: Elementary students on the first floor, middle school students on the second and high schoolers on the third floor. Nine seniors graduated this past spring.
The numbers continue to fall. "This year we'll be lucky to have 65 to 68 kids," says Superintendent Larry Ranney. A preliminary count identified a potential graduating class of seven. But that's not the worst of it. "All of our big classes are in high school," explains Ranney. "The attendance factor is going to catch up to us soon." The reason can be found on the first and second floors: This year Silverton expects five kindergarteners, two first graders, three second graders, two eighth graders.
The number of teachers is tied to the student population, so in recent years several instructors have been forced to leave. Those who have been kept on double and triple up on their classes so as not to diminish course offerings. One teacher handles English, Spanish and history; another teaches geography and computers and oversees production of the school newspaper and yearbook. Sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders are taught by a single person. "Each of our teachers prepares for six different subjects a day," says Ranney, who grew up in nearby Gunnison.
The flight of the town's families has had a more subtle, but no less drastic effect: It has altered the feel of Silverton. Many of the single-family homes once occupied by miners and their families have been bought by vacationers looking for a scenic place to have a second home a few weeks out of the year. The town has also seen a half-dozen new vacation homes go up every year.
Residents are grateful for the economic boost. "I think we're recovered to the point where we don't need saving now," says Norman, the county administrator.
Still, most people who have lived in Silverton for more than a decade can't help but notice the change. "We're recovering," acknowledges Willie Tookey, who worked in the mines, as did his father, Vince. "But it's a different community."
Since the day the once-dominant industry shut down, there was little doubt where the community would have to turn in order to survive: Silverton has worked hard to attract more tourists during the summer; mines that were loud with the din of drills and trolleys a decade ago have been turned into mine tours and mine museums. Though the mining hall remains, a number of seasonal antique shops now line Greene Street.
In the summer Silverton appears the very picture of a quaint, bustling mountain community -- the Durango & Silverton Narrow-Gauge Railroad can dump several thousand people off each day from June through August -- but the cold months are bleak. Tucked between Red Mountain Pass to the north and Molas Divide and Coal Bank Hill Pass to the south, Silverton often is literally cut off from the world when the heavy snows start. Many businesses go dormant. The town's largest year-round employer is the government.
In the past couple of years Silverton officials have looked hard for ways to goose the economy between October and May. Three years ago, the town opened its checkbook to pay for a new rope tow for the municipal ski area, Kendall Mountain, which had been closed since 1974. And two years ago, Silverton dedicated a brand-new community center near Kendall, the centerpiece of which is an ice-skating rink. "All the work we've been doing has been to bolster our winter economy," says Erickson.

Pierre Dillenbourg is professor of computer science at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). A former teacher in elementary school, Pierre graduated in educational science (University of Mons, Belgium). He started to conduct research in learning technologies in 1984. He obtained a PhD in computer science from the University of Lancaster (UK), in the field of educational applications of artificial intelligence.
He is past president of the International Society for the Learning Sciences. His work covers various domain of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), ranging from novel interfaces for face-to-face collaboration (tabletops, tangibles, paper computing) to more cognitive projects on dual eye tracking. His current work focuses on classroom orchestration, i.e. the process by which teachers manage multi-level activities (solo, group, plenary) while handling the many constraints of the daily school life. He aims to build technologies that minimize the orchestration load. His lab also conduct projects in educational robotics.
Manu Kapur :: slides (pdf) & YouTube video of keynote (offsite)
Manu Kapur is an Associate Professor of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CTL) and a researcher in the Learning Sciences Lab (LSL) at the National Institute of Education (NIE) of Singapore. An engineer by bachelors training, Manu taught mathematics to 12th graders in Singapore before getting his doctorate in instructional technology and media from Teachers College Columbia University, where he also completed a Master of Science in Applied Statistics. Manu conceptualized the notion of productive failure to explore the hidden efficacies in the seemingly failed effort of small groups solving complex problems collaboratively in an online environment. Over the past six years, Manu has done extensive work on productive failure in mathematics classrooms in Singapore, during which time, his research has also attracted interest and funding both locally and internationally.
Judy Kay :: slides (pdf) & YouTube video of keynote (offsite)
Judy Kay is Professor of Computer Science at the University of Sydney and a principal in CHAI (Computer Human Adapted Interaction), leading research into advanced technologies for human computer interaction, personalisation, pervasive and mobile interaction. She is Immediate Past President of the International Artificial Intelligence in Education Society (IAIED).
Her personalisation research aims to empower people to harness and control the large amounts of data from their digital footprints, to support life-long and life-wide learning. The research ranges from direct mirrors with useful forms of that data in Open Learner Models, data mining to extract meaningful additional insights and personalised interfaces. Critical to this vision is that the user should always have a sense of control over the personalisation. She works on innovative user interfaces, with software for surface computing such as interactive tabletop and wall displays. This explores the new ways that this emerging technology can help small groups to learn collaboratively and to learn how to collaborate more effectively.
Judy Kay's keynote presentation is kindly sponsored by NSW Trade & Investment.
Janet Kolodner :: slides (pdf) & YouTube video of keynote (offsite)
Professor Janet Kolodner is a Regents' Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She was founding Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of the Learning Sciences and a founder of the International Society for the Learning Sciences, and she served as the society's first Executive Officer.
Her research has addressed issues in learning, memory, and problem solving in computers and in people. She pioneered case-based reasoning (CBR), and her lab originated the notion of a case-based design aid (CBDA). She has been a leader in articulating the cognitive model that case-based reasoning implies and the applications and implications of case-based reasoning for education and creative problem solving.
Since 1994, Kolodner has focused on using this model to design science curriculum for middle school. Her approach, called Learning by Design™ (LBD), is a key foundational component of the comprehensive 3-year middle-school science curriculum called Project-Based Inquiry Science (PBIS). With her students, she has also applied the approach to informal education, most notably to design of Kitchen Science Investigators, an after-school program focused on learning science from cooking experiences. At present, she is on loan to the U.S. National Science Foundation, where she is lead Program Officer for a new funding program called Cyberlearning: Transforming Education.

Tips For A Cellulite-Free Skin
Cellulite is a word that usually causes an instant cringe as soon as it's mentioned. It creates an unpleasant thought among all who have it and a bitter taste in those who fear of ever getting it. Many women are adamant about finding the easiest way to get rid of or reduce the unsightly appearance of cellulite.
They Call It What?
The not so pleasant terminology that is used to reference the horrid presence of it is more than enough to cause an instant meltdown. Cellulite has earned several unattractive names which in essence, only add to the insult of dealing with it all together. Cottage cheese, hail damage and orange peel skin are a few of the manners in which it's referenced. The names may stick around but there could be ways to reduce the appearance of the unwelcomed visitor.
The Breakdown
Fat deposits that settle just below the skin in areas such as the lower pelvic, thighs, abdomen or buttocks are known as cellulite. There are several factors that may contribute to the development of cellulite which include genetics, age, lifestyle trends, hormonal or poor nutrition. These are all claimed motivators of cellulite but the one thing they all have in common is the possible production of toxins within the body. These toxins are stored in the body to prevent the organs from being exposed to them. Therefore, in an effort to get rid of cellulite the primary goal is actually to rid the body of these stored toxins.
Clean Your Plate
Clean the way you eat by starting to ingest foods that form alkaline. Foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables are high in alkaline and should be the largest part of your diet. The alkaline enters the body and acts as a magnet to attract the acid of the toxins and help to remove them from the cells of the body. It is best to start this in small increments in order for your body to adjust and not over magnetize the toxins.
Switch the Salt
Try replacing your table salt with sea or crystal salt. Minerals are drawn from the body with the consumption of refined salt. The table salt also dehydrates the body and hence aids in the production of cellulite. On the other hand, sea and crystal salts are high in alkaline and filled with minerals that are beneficial to the body.
Hydrate and Hydrate More
This is the best way to flush toxins out of the body. You must consume fresh water and intake fresh fruits and vegetables as well to aid in the flushing process. This is an iatrical step to reducing cellulite. Make water the first thing you consume in the mornings. If you're one of those people that don't like the taste of water, add lemon or citrus to enhance the taste. This will also be great for your skin.
Moving Day
Exercise and vigorous activity is a wonderful way to work up a sweat and move those toxins out of the body. This step is a multi eliminator of cellulite. The exercise will also help tone and tighten the skin to reduce the appearance of cellulite as well as help relieve stress.
These are only a few natural tips to help with the reduction of cellulite. Many people find that introducing these steps work wonders and also help to improve their overall health.

Alan Rath at Dorfman Projects
Linguist, a wall-mounted work, features an image of a mouth with a tongue that sticks out when visitors manipulate a joystick. Waiting III, placed on the floor, consists of a CRT screen attached by a long silver tube to a simple metal clock with only a red second hand. On the screen, a green hand taps nervously as the clock's second hand goes round and round. One of the best works on view, Triple Tongue Tree, reveals a relationship to Pop art and to Warhol's portraits, specifically to his painting of multiple images of Marilyn Monroe's lips. Rath's piece is made of a series of three CRT screens mounted vertically on a tall tripod. The images, in yellow and green, show a mouth opening and closing and sticking out its tongue. The components of this piece form a disjointed, but mesmerizing personage. Rath's work hints at an integration of the human, the organic and the machine, which is provocative but not necessarily foreboding.
Alan Rath, "Digital Sculpture," May 1-June 6, 1998, at Dorfman Projects, 529 West 20th Street, New York, N.Y. 10011.

I really have to say that price and convenience are the best things about the product. When I bought it the closest competitor was double the price.I had no issues installing the pump product was direct fit.The only concern I have as fuel level accuracy. The gage now reads full for is much as 300 miles while the range remains about 600 miles the gage just drops quickly toward empty for the 2nd half of the tank.

This review is intended to help the next person that had the same problems that I had. It is only rated 1 star to get your attention and does not reflect AutoPartsWarehouse.com; I give them 5 stars on the whole transaction. I ordered and installed this part as a direct fit for my 2005 Jetta GLS 2.0L (it�s an early model 2005; apparently VW changed mid-year on this car). After installation the pump worked perfectly (or so I thought) until I filled my fuel tank. At that time my car started leaking fuel all over the ground once the tank was full. I pulled the pump out for further investigation and compared it a bit more closely to the original that I had pulled out. At first glance they appeared to be exactly the same which is why I installed it in the first place. But closer examination revealed that the upper flange on the new pump was smaller diameter than the original and does not properly seal (hence the leak during re-fueling). At first I thought that AutoPartsWarehouse.com sent the wrong pump so I went to a local parts store to pick up an OE pump (at almost 3X the cost) and I found that they had the same unit for my vehicle (the smaller flange model). So the problem here lies with VW and not the parts stores. Rather than return the pump for a new one I just disassembled the new pump and used the original flange from the old pump to get things working. So be careful which pump you get and pay particular attention to the flange diameter. Maybe this pump fits some 2005 Jettas but not mine. If you need the larger flange model like I did I found one at AutoPartsWarehouse.com It is part number AFE8705M. Unfortunately it is $357 vs. the $130 for the pump that I bought. So if you want to make it work for less $$ and your sealing flange is in order you can go with this pump and save a few $$. I hope this review helps to save somebody else the hassles that I went through.
