Compression garments are an essential way of controlling lymphoedema.
This video gives and introduction to compression garments in the treatment of lymphoedema. This information was correct as of 1 December 2011.
Please tell us what you think about our videos|.
Sleeves can be used for swollen arms and stockings can be used for swollen legs. Compression garments are also available for lymphoedema affecting the breast/chest and genital area.
They work by:
It's important to be fitted by someone experienced in selecting, measuring and fitting compression garments. Your lymphoedema specialist will usually do this or arrange it for you. Compression garments are available in different grades of pressure depending on the degree of lymphoedema you have.
In many hospitals, compression garments are available from the breast care nurse or surgical appliances department. They come in a range of shades to match different skin tones and hypo-allergenic types are available for people with sensitive skin. Some garments are available 'off the shelf' and others need to be made-to-measure. Your GP can prescribe garments but usually only on the recommendation of your lymphoedema specialist. Your specialist will discuss which is the most appropriate garment for you and they will choose the correct size. Your GP will then be asked to provide the garment.
During your fitting you should also be advised and shown how to put on and remove the garment. Here are some useful suggestions:
It's important to wear your compression garment all day, but usually it can be taken off at night when you're lying down and resting.
When you start wearing a compression garment for the first time, wear it for a few hours the first day. Then gradually build up the time you wear it for each day, until you can keep it on for most of the day. This way you will become gradually used to the feeling and pressure of the garment against your skin.
If you're travelling a long distance, especially by air, make sure you wear it for the full length of the journey and for some hours afterwards.
You should be given at least two garments so that you can have one in the wash while you wear the other. The manufacturer will supply washing instructions. Worn every other day, they usually last between 4–6 months.
If your compression garment is too loose, it won't control swelling and needs to be refitted. If it's too tight, it will restrict blood flow. If you get pins and needles or pain, or your fingers or toes change colour, it's too tight. Remove it straight away and contact your lymphoedema specialist for advice. It's important that you're properly measured and fitted to prevent these problems from happening.
There are some situations when compression garments shouldn't be worn. You should avoid wearing one if:
Compression garments used incorrectly can be harmful, and won't help the swelling go down. The material can form tight bands across the skin and even damage it. If you're in doubt, ask your lymphoedema specialist for advice.
If the limb is large and irregular in shape, compression bandaging is used first to reduce the size of the limb before a compression garment is fitted.
If your arm or leg is very swollen or its shape has changed a lot, it may be difficult to fit a compression sleeve or stocking.
To reduce the swelling and improve the shape, special multi-layer lymphoedema bandages and different types of foam can be used as part of your treatment.
A lymphoedema specialist will usually put the compression bandages on for you every day. It may take two or three weeks of bandaging before it's possible to fit a compression sleeve or stocking.
Bandaging is often combined with manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage| or simple lymphatic drainage (SLD) massage|, exercises| and skin care| to reduce the size of a limb that's very swollen.

"Prep was easy. The taste before baking was good. Smelled wonderful while cooking and tasted just like I remember my Grandma's tasting. I added a bit of garlic powder and some crushed red pepper to taste and our family is hooked. Thanks for this delicious recipe."
"Excellent!!!! I am not lucky with yeast recipes so this allowed me to share a wonderful holiday memory with my kids . Thank You!! I added Almonds, vanilla, and dried cherries, my great Grandma used raisins, rum and almonds so I tried to stay close to that. Not huge on raisins though."

In Season: Kale turns sweeter in cold weather, so it's at its best from mid-fall through early spring.What to Look For: Choose kale with firm, deep-green leaves, avoiding any that are wilted or have yellow spots. How to Store: Keep kale in the coldest part of your refrigerator, loosely wrapped in a plastic bag. Though it seems like a sturdy vegetable, kale will quickly wilt and turn bitter.

Keeping with the trend of less frills, even the packaging is very bland. We weren't even able to tell what model we had received until opening the box and looking at the I/O specification label on the power supply.
Rotating things around, we find a little information on the unit. The most interesting of these appears to be the SATA array cable design with the SATA connectors spaced only 50mm apart. This will be very nice for those who have may drive stacked on top of each other and trouble getting the case side back on due to excess cabling.
Both sides display nothing more than the FSP logo and website.
I/O specifications are located on the back as well for those who are curious.
The top just points us to their website for more information while the bottom repeats the design on the front.

Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has ignited the global box office with its opening weekend as the Jennifer Lawrence-headlined sequel amassed a huge $307.7 million haul around the globe, including a $161.1 million domestic weekend – a record for November openings, and the fourth biggest debut of all-time behind The Avengers ($207.4 million), Iron Man 3 ($174.1 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 ($169.2 million).
With two weekends to go before arrival of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire should have no trouble overtaking its predecessor, which earned $691.2 million ($408 million from North America and $283.2 million). The film is reportedly doing double the business of The Hunger Games in most markets, so there's a good chance that it could go on to break the $1 billion mark globally, which would make it the second film to do so this year, but only time will tell whether it will have enough in the tank to challenge Iron Man 3's $1.215 billion for the title of the year's biggest-earner.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is directed by Francis Lawrence and sees Jennifer Lawrence joined in the cast by Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Paula Malcomson, Willow Shields, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Lynn Cohen, Meta Golding, Amanda Plummer and Jeffrey Wright.

Kerry Washington Gossip
Kerry Washington gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Kerry's pregnancy crop-top
Look, if Rita Moreno hadn't come in with her leather jacket and adolescent cleavage, Kerry Washington would have been Best Dressed at the SAGs because holy sh-t the pregnancy crop top was all of it and more. YES! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! This is what I'm talking about. But…WHYYYYY does she have to keep belly-cupping?!? Many of you have emailed to tell me that it comes from not knowing where to put your hands. Full Story
Kerry Washington: Bellycupping at the Globes
FameFlynet, WENN, FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Jason Merritt/ Getty Images
I know I don't have to tell you how much this hurts me. A lot. Kerry Washington is one the great loves of this blog. Kerry Washington keeps her sh-t super tight. Her wedding was undercover. Her pregnancy has been low key. She didn't explode it on us with an announcement and a Facebook page and a Tumblr tracking every ultrasound. Full Story
Olivia & Mellie pre-Christmas
I could have saved these photos for Friday when Duana posts her Scandal recap but… WHY WAIT? It's Olivia and Mellie, Kerry Washington and Bellamy Young, shooting scenes for the show before the holiday break. Duana and I went out the other night and spent part of it talking about Scandal. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Did Saturday Night Live address its lack of black women in the cast issue this week? Well, the show certainly acknowledged that people have been talking about it. I'm not sure that's the same thing as admitting that there is a problem, or doing anything about it. You could argue that Lorne Michaels has no obligation to hire female black comedians. And, sure, he doesn't. But if his job description is to make sure that his show is relevant and creative, he should probably produce an environment that doesn't limit relevance or creativity. The fact that the show currently has no players who can play – and/or satirise – the First Lady of the United States, or Oprah (the first lady of media), or Beyonce (the first lady of pop), or Kerry Washington herself (which is why they can spoof Homeland but not Scandal) limits its relevance and creativity.

What's Your Blind Spot?
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Scandal Season 3 Episode 5 recap I started thinking about this as I began writing this article, and of course, just for irony, I don't know. I don't know what my blind spot is. I'm sure my friends or family could tell you, but I don't immediately go "oh. Yeah. That's what trips me up every time. Full Story
Kerry is Pregnant, but not "carrying"
I'm very late to Scandal. I started it this season after watching an hour-long recap. It's pulpy, entertaining, ridiculous and one of the few shows I actually care to watch in real time. This is largely because of Kerry Washington. She's an excellent actress and a very interesting celebrity. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
"Are we gladiators, or are we bitches?"
What we are, here, on Scandal, is so f-cking EXTRA. Unapologetically EXTRA. Wonderfully, amazingly, all caps all the time EXTRA. Please never let it stop. Scandal is the Mariah Carey of TV shows. And the key to being the Mariah Carey of TV shows is part self-awareness, part self-celebration, and part self-ordained. It's not like Shonda Rhimes doesn't know that her sh-t is bananas. She is revelling in how bananas this sh-t is. And there's no explanation for it other than to say…it's meant to be this way. Like destiny.
Right now, no other show gives me as much pure, decadent joy. And it almost feels like the writers, they are writing it with joy. Can you imagine writing this line? Can you imagine how much fun it would be to write this line? And then to see it being played out on television!?
"You are getting on that plane come hell or high water. Read Full Intro
Mayer RCF/ Splash
Scandal. Tomorrow. Are you in? Come on. You have to be in. Olivia Pope is Olivia Pope's new client. But according to the previews, Olivia doesn't want to be Olivia's client, even though she's exactly the kind of client that Olivia usually works with, and the Gladiators activate! Whether or not she accepts their activation is why we're watching tomorrow. Full Story
Kerry Washington's Emmy wedding
Jason Merritt/ Frazer Harrison/ Kevin Winter/Getty
By Marchesa standards, it wasn't horrific. You know what horrific Marchesa looks like, right? Here. That should refresh your memory. Or see Malin Akerman. So, again, by Marchesa standards, it could have been worse. But… I don't want to talk about Kerry Washington, our beloved Kerry Washington, in those terms. Full Story
Best Dressed Kerry Washington
Kevin Winter /Getty Images
PEOPLE Magazine has named Kerry Washington the World's Best Dressed Woman. Gwyneth Paltrow was named the World's Most Beautiful Woman. That was polarising. Kerry's crowning should be more popular, non? At least among those who aren't white supremacists. As you know, Kerry Washington gets a lot of love here at LaineyGossip. Full Story
Kerry Washington Project Runway
JDH Imagez /Splash News, Frazer Harrison /Getty Images
She's in NY. She's a guest judge on Project Runway. Credentials? Please. Kerry Washington has more style than Heidi Klum ever could. EVER. COULD. And she's showing you this in these photos. That's a great outfit, non? But... I don't love this decision. I don't love it because I think she's better. Full Story
Kerry covers FLARE
Did you know Kerry Washington went to Spence, the same school in New York as Gwyneth Paltrow? We need to find a copy of those yearbooks. We need to write a show about this. About a girl like Kerry Washington at school with girls like Gwyneth Paltrow. Duana? I know you're reading. Because, of course, as we've noted several times before, we are Kerry Washington fangirls here at LaineyGossip and Duana is our Heather #1. Full Story
Kerry can sing
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Getty
All of us here at LaineyGossip have been girlcrushing on Kerry Washington for months, Duana in particular. I should show you some of the emails she sends me: "Kerry said this!" "Kerry dropped a reference in an interview that no one else understand, because they hadn't read xxwhateverbookxxx. Full Story
Kerry marries
FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Kerry Washington is our current jam here at LaineyGossip.com. Have you watched Scandal yet? Get on it! It was announced yesterday, just as her Vanity Fair cover feature was going wide, that Washington married football player Nnamdi Asomugha in Blaine County, Idaho on June 24. JUNE 24! That was two weeks ago! As I always say, you can keep your sh-t tight in Hollywood. Full Story

What is a graded benefit life insurance policy?
It's a life insurance plan that provides a death benefit that increases with the age of the insured.
Graded benefits may increase gradually and then level off, or they may increase sharply before becoming level.
This type of life insurance coverage is most common in juvenile life insurance and life insurance plans for seniors.
Start Your Free Life Insurance Quote
Example: A senior life insurance plan providing $20,000 of life insurance coverage for a 10 year term with premiums of $300 and a 2 year graded death benefit period.
In this example the insured person pays the annual premium of $300 once a year for 10 years.
If the insured person dies within the 10 year term, the beneficiary receives the $20,000 death benefit.
However, if the insured dies within 2 years of purchasing the life insurance policy the death benefit paid will only be the amount of premium paid plus any interest on that premium.
If the insured were to die after the 2 year graded benefit period, more than 2 years after buying the policy, the beneficiary receives the full death benefit of $20,000.
Death Benefit
In a graded benefit life insurance policy, the death benefits are not level. Policyholders will be paid a certain percentage of the full death benefit if death of the insured person should occur in year one, a larger percentage if death occurs in year two, and so on. By year five, most graded death benefit policies have reached a level death benefit of 100% of the coverage.
Premiums for graded benefit life insurance policies are generally higher than those for standard life insurance policies since the policyholder presents greater risk of a death claim to the insurance company. Even though the death benefit is not level, premiums are, the premiums remain the same each year of the policy.
What Life Insurance Companies offer Graded Life Insurance?
Here are a couple of the leading providers of graded life insurance:
Presidential life Guaranteed Issue Plans
Benefits payable under the Graded Benefit (whole) Life policy are limited in the first two or three years, depending on the issue age of the insured.
Guaranty Trust Life Insurance Company – Grade Benefit Whole Life
A graded death benefit policy means that the death benefit in the first three policy years is less than the full amount applied for.
The first year death benefit is equal to the amount shown in the death benefit table. In years two and three the death benefits increases ("grades") until in the fourth year it equals the full amount.
What is an Alternative to Graded Benefit Insurance?
Globe Life Insurance offers simplified issue life insurance plans for people age 78 and under.
With Globe Life there is no physical just a few Yes/No health questions. You can get a life insurance quote and apply online for your life insurance policy in about five minutes.
When does life insurance coverage start? Is there a waiting period?
No. There is no waiting period. Your Globe Life Insurance coverage starts immediately when your policy is issued.
Will my coverage change as I get older?
Globe Life benefits will never be changed or reduced due to age, changes in health or occupation. ExtraLife benefits will never be changed or reduced due to age, changes in health or occupation.
Top Pick – Globe Life Insurance

Windows tax refund for Acer notebook (Acer Aspire 1410/1810T)
If you have never heard about Windows tax, Windows refund or anyone ever getting refund for Windows OS then perhaps it is time to look it up.
I don't think many people are aware of the fact that it is possible (and you have the right to) to get a refund for Windows OS if you are not planning to use it.
Getting Windows OS refund is like returning unused/unneeded product to get your money back. For example, if you are using Linux on your computer, why should you pay for Windows OS? Or, if your study institution provides FREE premium Windows OS (which is the case for Computer Science students), why should you pay for the crippled version that comes pre-installed on your computer?
Please note: The key in getting Windows OS refund is in DECLINING the EULA agreement the first time computer boots up (or not turning computer on at all). If you accepted the EULA you may be out of luck! Even if the EULA was accepted (such is the case with Open-box or pre-setup computers), you can still get a refund as long as you do a system restore to return the computer to the factory state.
It is best to get the refund in first few weeks after you bought your computer. You can use Linux live CDs to test your system to make sure it works properly, or you can boot from your own HDD (with Linux or Windows) and check to make sure everything works. Once you make up your decision for keeping the computer, give manufacturer a call and ask for a Windows refund.
Here is how I got Windows OS refund from Acer Canada:
I purchased my Acer Aspire 1410 from Canadian Staples Business Depot. For 5 days I tested it by booting Ubuntu Linux from SDHC card to make sure the computer was working correctly. After making the final decision of keeping this notebook, I picked up the phone and called Acer Technical Support (1-866-706-2237).
After getting a hold of an agent, I explained that I would like to get a refund for Windows Vista Home Premium that came pre-installed on my laptop, and quoted the terms of the EULA agreement:
By using the software, you accept these terms [of EULA agreement]. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit.
Upon completion of registration, he forwarded my call to a Level 2 agent. After repeating (for 11th time?) that I would like to get a refund for an unused Windows OS, she said that there INDEED IS SUCH A POLICY! She said that I will need to send my laptop to Acer Repair Depot so that they can (1) delete all traces of Windows OS, (2) remove OEM sticker on the bottom and (3) delete Windows OS activation settings from BIOS (I guess she had SLIC in mind? Doesn't simple BIOS flash restore it back? ). I asked how much money I will receive as refund and she responded that for Windows Vista Basic they give $65CAD, but was unsure about Home Premium. I asked her to sign me up for a refund.
Apparently, since my laptop was within 30days from purchase date, I was eligible for FREE shipping to Repair Depot (Acer's policy). After confirming some shipping details, she forwarded a Purolator prepaid shipping label and service request number along with instructions to my email. I thanked her and ended the call.
I securely packed my laptop (just the laptop, without battery or any other accessories) and as per Acer's email instructions wrote my name, phone, Service request and S/N numbers on the box. Printed off and attached the shipping label. The box was picked up by Purolator the next day.
On the 8th day after sending my laptop to Acer, I received email notification that I should be getting my laptop back shortly and included FedEx tracking number.
The box from Acer was delivered to my doorstep by FedEx the next day. I was very surprised to find that the laptop (wiped HDD, OEM sticker removed) was the only thing in the box. Where the hell was my Windows OS refund check?
A quick call to Acer revealed that I should be getting my check within 6 weeks in regular mail. Hooray!!
6 weeks after my first phone call I still haven't received my refund check. I called Acer support and inquired about my refund check. They said that the order for the check has not been placed with their financial department and after I complained they filled out an order for a refund.
8 weeks after my first phone call to Acer, I have received the Windows tax refund check for $60.48USD, which was equivalent to $65CAD at the time. Here is a scanned copy:
It took me 45mins of telephone calls, 9 days without laptop and 7 weeks wait to get Windows Vista Home Premium refund of $65CAD. Was it worth it? You bet
Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG Windows tax refund
Update (24/12/2010): Just bought an Acer Aspire 3820TG-3022 with Windows 7 Home Premium from Staples. Apparently, it was pre-setup ("plug and play PC") by in-store technicians for "best customer experience". They have kindly accepted the EULA license agreement for me and installed more crapware. Now that agreement has been accepted, I wonder if I can wipe out the drive and return the OS...
Update (14/01/2011): Wiped HDD and restored from recovery DVDs burned by Staples. Called Acer and within 5minutes (I am not kidding, it was that fast) I had all the instructions in my email box. They refused to pay for shipping, because Windows is not a "manufacturing defect" (I could argue with that ) therefore I am not eligible for their 30day free repair depot shipping.
Update (16/01/2011): Sent my laptop to Acer via FedEx. Should be there on 19/01/2011. FedEx wanted me to pay $80 for air shipping, but I refused and paid ground $12 + insurance $12. Apparently, it will arrive there just as fast as if I sent it by air. Probably by the same delivery truck too.
Update (24/01/2011): I received my laptop a week after sending it. Windows was gone. Wow, I am impressed by Acer support! Will be calling Acer in a month to remind about the refund check.
I am really impressed at how fast the process went this time. Only 5 minutes on the phone and 1 week turnaround. Awesome.
Update (31/03/2011): I knew I shouldn't have trusted Acer with sending me a refund check. I called them today, and I was told that they are unaware of any refund checks that were supposed to be sent to me. I asked them to open a case number and file it with their financial department. That is what the agent did. In addition, I have asked how they usually know when to send someone an OS refund check. Apparently, they don't. You have to call them and tell them your OS was removed and you need a refund check. If you don't do that, then you will never get your refund.
Tips and Tricks
0. Please NOTE: The Acer policies differ from country to country. For example, in the UK it may not be worthwhile to ask for Windows refund.
1. If you are planning to get Windows OS refund DO NOT accept EULA.
2. Caller Acer USA/Canada support about 3PM EST (8PM GMT) on a business day to minimize wait time and to be sure you can get to the Level 2 agent without hassle.
3. General agents are unaware of all the Acer's policies (especially about Windows OS refund policy) so do not waste your time convincing them such policy exists. They may spend a great deal of energy on convincing you to give up, but DO NOT LISTEN -- IT IS ALL LIES ! Simply explain what you want, and ask to be forwarded to Level 2 support.
4. The general agent CANNOT authorise Windows OS refund. YOU MUST talk to Level 2 support for it. So you can avoid wasting time -- just register and ask to be forwarded to Level 2 agent.
5. If they keep refusing to admit there is a Windows OS refund policy then simply hang up and call back or ask to be forwarded to a different agent.
6. If you are within 30days from purchase date then ask for "free shipping to repair deport if within 30days" policy. You should be able to get your prepaid label.
7. Search on the Internet for Windows OS refund cases to gather up some info.
8. If all else fails you can still sue Acer It has been done beforeLast edited by prikolchik; 22nd February 2012 at 05:11 PM.

Re: Windows tax refund for Acer notebook (Acer Aspire 1410/1810T)
That's great!
I didn't know you could do that. I wish I had done this with my AS1410. I hardly ever use Windows and when I do, it's usually a virtual machine. Even $65 would have had me under $300. That would have been awesome.Last edited by ohiomoto; 16th August 2010 at 12:04 PM.

Re: Windows tax refund for Acer notebook (Acer Aspire 1410/1810T)
Well, it appears that this paragraph is included in Windows 98SE EULA
If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, Manufacturer and Microsoft Licensing, Inc. ("MS") are unwilling to license the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to you. In such event, you may not use or copy the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, and you should promptly contact Manufacturer for instructions on return of the unused product(s) for a refund.
And btw, I was reading a study somewhere, can't remember all the details, but it was something like this: one company included information in their license agreement about how to get free $1000 and out of 85,000 copies of software sold only 1 person called back. I mean that says something doesn't it?Asus UX32VD-DH71: i7-3517U 1.9GHz / 10GB DDR3 / 320GB HDD / Nvidia GT 620M 1G / 13.3 IPS FHD / Ubuntu 12.10

Re: Windows tax refund for Acer notebook (Acer Aspire 1410/1810T)
I just bought an Acer Aspire 751 last week. I called this morning to see about a refund on the Windows Vista Home Basic that came on it. I had started it up and taken pictures of the license agreement and then shut it down without agreeing, to keep record of it.
I preregistered the laptop on their website. I called 1-866-695-2237, the number for the US Acer support. When I called, I went through some automated systems that had me input my serial number. Later on, they referenced my registration so it's a good idea to do it first.
The first person I talked to was a foreign tech support, and first denied that they give refunds. I persisted that I knew of others that had received them, and asked to speak to a supervisor. He put me on hold to check the availability of a supervisor, and soon I was on the line with another foreign tech support person, presumably the supervisor.
He told me that there was no refund policy since it was pre-activated OEM operating system. I asked him what was meant by pre-activated, and he started saying something about it not coming with install discs. Changing his mind, he asked me if I had turned on my computer. I told him that after I had gotten to the licensing agreement, that I did not accept it and turned the computer immediately off. He told me he would do research into the refund, and put me on hold.
Next a man named Kevin came on the line who I guess is probably actually in the US by his lack of accent. He told me that they will do the refund, but that I would have to pay the shipping to get it there. He said they would wipe the hard drive, remove the sticker, and mail it back to me, and to only send the laptop without any other parts. I didn't press about free shipping, happy to be getting the refund pretty easily. He said the refund for Vista Home Basic is 58.53. He put me on hold several times while prepping my case, and eventually sent me an email with mailing instructions. He said it took a while because this isn't a regular situation. The whole process took 29 minutes, not too bad at all.
I mailed the package today by UPS ground for around $16. That means my refund will be around $40, assuming everything goes smoothly from here. Not too bad when I only paid $255 for the laptop. I'll be putting XP on it first of all, and may put Windows 7 or Ubuntu on it later. I get Windows from my university, and actually need XP for a current project, so it's nice to not have to pay for an OS I wouldn't have ever used.

Re: Windows tax refund for Acer notebook (Acer Aspire 1410/1810T)
Just wanted to update that I got the refund check in the beginning of December. It was for $61USD (converts to $65 CAD) refund for Vista Home Premium. I actually had to call them a few times because they "forgot" to place an order for the refund with their financial department. I have a scan of the check which I will upload sometime in the near future.

President's narrative
"We began in Vietnam to help inaugurate the new class of Shidler EMBA students and to appear on two APEC workshop panels, one in Hanoi and one in Ho Chi Minh City promoting business and investment opportunities in the APEC region. These were each attended by more than 150 to 180 of the top local business people in the respective cities and provided some preparation and context for APEC and how these CEOs might benefit from attending. There was extensive media coverage in print, on TV and online throughout Vietnam of these events and all considered them extremely successful.
"It was also my high honor and privilege to, along with Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa, lead the Worldwide Uchinanchu Festival Eve Parade—the largest gathering of Okinawans in the world; receive an honorary degree from the University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa; and plant a cherry blossom tree along with Ryukyus University President Teruo Iwamasa on university grounds as a gift from the University of Hawaii. Former Regent Ed Kuba and fellow Okinawan Goodwill Ambassador Bob Nakasone were a tremendous help to us during our trip!
"We presented a beautiful small glass-enclosed replica of the Hawaiian voyaging canoe Hokulea to President Iwamasa, as a gift signifying 'One Ocean, One People' for the people of the University of the Ryukyus.
"Our Hawaiian protocol team traveling with us offered moving oli and hula presentations at the appropriate places we were guests. Thank you to Keawe Lopes, Kekai Avilez and Kaiulani Kanehailua of the Hawaiinuiakea College of Hawaiian Knowledge at UH Manoa for accompanying us and representing our host culture so movingly!
"We also met with the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology officials to foster a relationship with this new institution and to provide for possible exchanges with our faculty, students and researchers in areas where we can collaborate."
The president also
• Congratulated Vice President for Student Affairs Lui Hokoana, named state Manager of the Year.
• Thanked regents for their time and Executive Vice President Linda Johnsrud and her staff for their efforts in development and passage of the new tuition schedule.
• Recognized her APEC advisor Denise Konan and assistant Keala Monaco for their part in coordinating with the Hawaii Host Committee on volunteer training and communication activities.
• Announced plans to sign a statement of intent with PACOM and other key players in the R-3 Initiative to promote improved risk, recovery and resiliency throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
• Provided an update on progress of the Kuali Financial Systems project.
• Announced award of a contract for construction of the $41.6 million Information Technology Center, which will house critical enterprise IT resources in a sustainable and secure manner, create the university's first true emergency situation room and free desperately needed surge space on the Manoa campus to help address the deferred repair and maintenance backlog.
• Welcomed nine members of the first-ever Community College Faculty and Administrator Exchange program with Indonesia, hosted by Kapiolani Community College through an award from the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
UH Community Colleges News
Honolulu students and staff create traditional garden
Honolulu Community College recently celebrated its Ka Mala o Niuhelewai garden project, which was made possible by a $25,000 Kauhale grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
Over the past eight months, students, staff and faculty members learned how to set rock, prepare the land, plant and care for approximately 20 varieties of kalo (taro) and ki (ti leaf).
During the fall semester, Summer Bridge, Hawaiian studies, geography, Hawaiian language and botany classes, along with students and employees across campus, have participated in the garden. The State of Hawaii Taro Task Force also helped in the planting.
Most recently, native plants have been planted in various areas on the campus in collaboration with other programs in effort to bring back indigenous plants to the area.

It's a good day for fans of information about David O. Russell's untitled next film. First we heard that Alessandro Nivola has been added to the cast, which already includes Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Louis C.K. Then we heard that they all better get to work fast because the movie has been officially scheduled for a December13 limited release and a nationwide release on Christmas day.
"Untitled David O. Russell" project, as we will call it for now, has a script by Eric Singer. It is described this way by Columbia Pictures:
"The film is based on the true story of a notorious financial con artist (Bale) and his mistress/partner in crime (Adams), who were forced to work with an out of control federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians. At the epicenter of the entire tale, is the passionate and volatile leader of the New Jersey state assembly (Renner) who is also the local hero and mayor of impoverished Camden."

Once again, evangelicals have cause for renewed attention to a doctrine of Scripture. Amidst what has been called the "third-wave" of the inerrancy debate, this short volume seeks to tell the story of three words that received greatest attention in discussions about Scripture's authority during the nineteenth, twentieth, and now twenty-first centuries. These are "inspiration," "inerrancy," and "interpretation" (14, 18).
In a consistent format, Nichols and Brandt, professor and student at Lancaster Bible College, devote an individual chapter to developments surrounding each of these words. Each of these is followed by one that includes select quotations from key sources in the debates surrounding the terms. They also provide introductory comments to original source texts which give historical background, other aspects of the debates' contexts, and sometimes reasons why the selections were made. This work is laden with historical facts and useful bibliographic material. Among what is throughout the text, these features include time-lines (30, 74, 118), succinct lists of sources cited (41-42, 87-88, 131-32), and three appendices. Appendix one includes nineteen evangelical doctrinal statements on Scripture (159- 71); appendix two, key Bible texts on a doctrine of Scripture (173); appendix three, books for further reading (175-76), all of which were cited throughout the work.
New features in the present state of the debate are also highlighted. Among these are the current modern/postmodern struggle (39-40), Barth's role in the American evangelical conversation (36-37, 118), the role of community (124), and theological interpretation (38, 124-25). The authors hold inerrancy by precommitment, deeming it a helpful theological construction (71, 84-85, 129) and also affirming that the Bible stands over readers (118, 127, 130).
Some technicalities should be observed. The citation of Grenz (29) misrepresents his pneumatological emphasis, effectively putting words into his mouth concerning the Princetonian view of inspiration. Page 30 n. 7 cites Grenz at page 116, but it should be 118. Hodge and Warfield are mistakenly identified as not allowing the dictation theory of inspiration (31) whereas they actually did allow that "in some of the prophecies, they wrote by divine dictation" ("Tractate on Inspiration" [1881], in Westminster Doctrine Ancient Holy Scripture: Tractates by Profs A. A. Hodge and Warfield with Notes on Recent Discussions by Rev. Robert Howie [Edinburgh: Hunter, 1891] 31). Without directly stating it, Nichols and Brandt contradict article XVI of the 1978 Chicago Statement when asserting that "the challenge" to the Bible was met recently with deeper reflection and clearer expression of the doctrines of Scripture (14). And though asserting Feinberg's closeness to the Chicago Statement (91 n. 66), Nichols and Brandt do not mention the interesting feature that the word "fact" is introduced by Feinberg while missing in the statement.
Further shortcomings might be in the selection of texts, not all of which are the most important or most reasonable voices in the debates. The blurring of the thematic and chronological approaches might also be somewhat confusing. A citation index would be helpful, as might a joint-authored book by scholars from different sides of this debate, which could have attracted a wider readership and given stronger cases from select texts. Nevertheless, while preferring inerrancy, allowing variegated source materials to articulate positions makes it a useful tool for readers in a broad range of positions.
Including hermeneutics as part of a doctrine of Scripture is a matter of question for this reviewer. The topics are certainly related, but seem to be separate unless traditional theological categories are to be shifted. Theology, which is able to account for all reality, carries the burden of providing a doctrine of Scripture. It gives descriptions of phenomena before, during, and after biblical exegesis, but should not be equated with the hermeneutical discipline or exegetical task. Though theological interpretation receives attention in this work, occasionally theological interpreters are more interested in what Scripture does rather than what it is. Regardless of whether or not hermeneutics should be a part of a doctrine of Scripture, it seems to have slipped in the back door of the evangelical debates about Scripture (and was virtually missing in discussions over the nature of Scripture among evangelicals before the mid-20th century), and may be here to stay.
The few criticisms mentioned should in no wise diminish from this boo k's importance. It is a clear, delightful read, written with brilliant prose (e.g., 26, 39) at an important time in the history of evangelicalism. Surprisingly, it is a portion of what the present reviewer mentioned as needed to move the inerrancy debate forward: "a serious attempt at a comprehensive understanding of the history of this debate... replete with all the arguments set forth, needs to be made and is due to the evangelical community" ("How Far Beyond Chicago? Assessing Recent Attempts to Reframe the Inerrancy Debate," Themelios 34/1 [April 2009]:31). It is unlike any other book this reviewer is aware of, especially in recent times. It will be a useful tool for laypeople or pastors interested in the topic, and would serve well in an undergraduate or M.Div. course dealing with bibliology or contemporary evangelicalism. Even then, it should probably be supplemented with other helpful books about the nature of Scripture, including possibly Mark D. Thompson, A Clear and Present Word [Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity, 2006] and perhaps Michael F. Bird and Michael Pahl, eds., The Sacred Text: Artefact, Interpretation, and Doctrinal Formulation [Piscataway, N.J.: Gorgias Press, forthcoming]). Nichols and Brandt have produced a remarkable resource in helping evangelicals understand the mammoth nature of the recent debate over the Bible's authority. Though one may still eagerly await an exhaustive treatment of the debate's vast terrain, Ancient Word, Changing Worlds is a needed move in that direction.

Houston storms and their aftermath are unavoidable. And if lightning strikes near your home, this can create electrical fields which swell the amperage on your electrical lines, TV cable and phone lines as conduits into the house. Result: Toasted TVs and phones. There are some steps you can take to prevent your major appliances from taking the hit during an electrical storm.
Electrical line surges
Most often people rely on small power-surge suppresser strips, those plastic strips into which appliances plug. But experts say you should guard against surges from well down the electrical grid or from inside the house itself. A "whole house" surge arrestor installed at the meter box is a better defense. Whole-house surge arrestors can hold down a much larger amount of increased amperage from a surge, leaving the smaller suppresser less work. These can be installed by professional electricians and the cost will be worthwhile.
Phone line surges
Theoretically, phone line surges shouldn't happen because telephone poles offer protection to the phone lines going into a building from a lightning strike. Occasionally individual phone lines will suffer the effects of lightning, though. Just like everything else, cordless phones run on electricity. Phone-line surge suppressors are on the market and you can find electrical-line surge suppressors that include a phone-line suppressor for the charging base.

Selling to overseas customers can be good for growth, but the majority of businesses are put off by serious fears they will end up with bad debts. Take the right precautions and know what to do if you have to take legal action
Incoterms protect
It's key to contract on the right terms in the first place. If you are exporting, trade using Incoterms – internationally recognised standard trading terms. By using the right Incoterm you minimise the risk of any ambiguity in your contract.
Even so, local laws may mean that some Incoterms are not fully effective or confusion arises. Your lawyer can advise you on the detailed requirements of each Incoterm in relation to exports to your target country.
Payment options
Payment options are:
- Sell on open account, as you do here. But investigate how long local payment periods are and the risk profile in that country generally. In some countries, payment periods can be significantly longer than is normal in the UK, leaving you with a potential cashflow problem. Check which information is publicly available in that country.
- Use a letter of credit or a bill of exchange. While there are several variations on this theme, these generally help to reduce your risk and can also help improve your cashflow, but will involve bank charges.
Consider export insurance. If you are exporting capital, goods or services and your export order is worth at least £25,000, you may be eligible for cover from UK Export Finance . You can download a guide to UK Export Finance (PDF) or visit their website.
You can use credit financing to ensure you get paid as soon as the contract is delivered and take out lines of credit to cover series of contracts, not just one.
Other options include arranging insurance privately through an insurance broker or using a 'forfaiting' company that will both finance your exports (by advancing payment against your invoice) and cover you against late payment or default.
Exchange rate risk
Take steps to protect yourself against exchange rate risk. Typically, this might be by agreeing the contract in pounds sterling or by arranging a currency 'hedge' (or possibly a currency option) with your bank.
Finger on the pulse
Once you have started trading, keep your eye on your debtors – query immediately any deviation from normal trading patterns (eg order levels, delivery, settlement, etc), and consider monitoring filings at public registries in countries where your debtors are registered for signs they are in trouble.
If in doubt, take legal advice.

Contact this shelter/rescue group to see their pets for adoption. |
Our Featured Sumter, SC Partner:
Long Road Home Pit Bull Rescue
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Sumter, SC 29154 |
Email: |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We are located in Sumter, SC but our adoptable animals from from all over the southeast, and sometimes even farther. Animals are available for adoption anywhere in the US provided a home visit and transportation can be arranged, although we concentrate mostly on SC, NC, GA, VA, and FL.About Our Rescue Group:
Long Road Home Pit Bull Rescue is a non-profit rescue organization. We are a small group of dedicated bully lovers who have over ten years experience rescuing needy bully dogs. We operate solely out of foster homes and do not have shelter. We are based out of South Carolina, but have volunteers in NC, SC, and GA.Donate to Our Rescue Group...
http://longroadhome.chipin.com/long-road-home-pit-bull-rescueOur Adoption Process:
All adoptions begin with the submission of an adoption application. Once and application had been submitted, we will contact you (normally via e-mail) with any questions, to discuss the animal you are interested in, and to set up a home visit. We will check your vet and personal references before the home visit, and if you are local, we will bring the animal with us for the home visit. If you are out of state and a home visit is conducted by another organization, other arrangements will be made to set up a meeting between you and your potential pet.Adoption requirements for each pet vary, but as a general rule, pit bulls will only be adopted out to homes with securely fenced yards. Generally, homeowners are preferred to prevent animals from becoming displaced when renting families move. All adopters must be in an area that does not restrict pit bull ownership, and must have landlords/homeowners insurance that allows pit bull ownership. Other requirements may vary depending on the needs of the pet.
Adoption fees for dogs range between $100 and $250 and vary depending on the animal. All dogs will come fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and microchipped. Vaccinations, spay/neuter , and microchip are all REQUIRED and are non-negotiable. All adopters will sign an adoption contract outlining the expectations for adopted dogs. Adoption contracts are available for review at any time during the adoption process.

As many of you know, here at Dealbreaker we consider ourselves the preeminent scholars on Goldman Sachs president Gary Cohn's grundle. Specifically, the grundle-to-face conversations he reportedly enjoys having with employees on the trading floor. So we were more than a little delighted to hear that Greg Smith's book, Why I Left Goldman Sachs, contained a passage describing Cohn's preferred position to assume while havin' a chat. Sayeth Smith:
Gary had a very distinctive signature move, one he had become famous for within the firm; I must have seen it ten or fifteen times in action. It didn't matter if the person he was talking to was male or female; he would walk up to the salesman or saleswoman, hike up one leg, plant his foot on the person's desk, his thigh close to the employee's face, and ask how markets were doing. Gary was physically commanding, and the move could have been interpreted as a very primal, alpha-male gesture. I think he just thought it was comfortable.
Having pored through every piece of empirical evidence regarding GC's G-T-F tendencies at least 500 times, one of our research assistants noticed that Greg's prose sounded moderately familiar. Read more »
