Seeking forgiveness for unpaid tax debt
ALBANY -- Albany city and Albany County are working to straighten out a property tax mess that caused dozens of seniors not to pay what they owed and resulted in penalties.
Sometimes the best of intentions don't go unpunished and what the city did to try and make bills easier to understand caused some seniors to miss making payments. So, imagine their surprise when they not only got notice of the missing payments, but also of the interest and penalties accruing.
"Instead of saying total tax due we put the amount due, and that was the first installment," said Kathy Sheehan, Albany City Treasurer.
A new bill and new problems for Albany's treasurer, taking blame for the city on the failure of 138 seniors to pay property taxes they owed. Seniors who qualify for a special program only have to pay half their taxes at a time each year. 2012's bills only listed that half owed instead of the full amount. When some saw the second bill arrive, they looked at the stub and thought they already paid up.
"I could see how it could be confusing for an elderly person," said 11th district county legislator Gary Domalewicz.
The county acts as the city's unpaid tax debt collection service. Domalewicz says any interest and penalties should be forgiven. "We're working on it now," he said. "I have my council working on it and I'll be introducing it next month's meeting. Hopefully we can fast track it and get it done very quickly."
Back at the treasurer's office, the new form also works for the new automated system processing payments. It may be here to stay, displaying half the amount owed.
"Under that system if we had a different amount there, any senior who payed just the first installment that payment would have been rejected as an underpayment," Sheehan said. When asked if anything can be done to prevent future problems, Sheehan said, "I'm sending out a notice to all seniors who only made that first installment payment this year so that they'll be getting a letter, it'll be on bright yellow paper and it'll really explain the process to them."
Legislator Domalewicz will formally bring up the issue of forgiving the interest and penalties for the 138 seniors at the Albany County legislature meeting planned for the second Monday of May. The city has also asked for the forgiveness of penalties for 2013 bills due in January.

Boy the olden days sucked.. you had to read real books, color tv was new (only three channels here), no Ipods,cell phones, Imac, internet , xbox , twitter…. or microwave popcorn.
I don't see how we survived
if kids wanted to play, it required going outside. talking with friends actually meant calling on the phone (usually hanging on the wall) or hanging out in real life as opposed to the facebook (or other social media).

text: My husband bought these last week and I tried them on Sunday for our weekly brunch. They were kind of hard to separate for placement on the pan, but they tasted pretty good when done and frosted. And they were only 100 calories each, so having 2 with my morning coffee did not break me [he ate the other 6!]. So, I'd say these are a good once in a while treat and a much safer diet alternative to Cinnabon.

[The prices listed above may change at any time and in some cases do not include shipping.]
I've been using this product for around 7-8 months now and let me tell you this product is amazing! it treats deep cysts, dries them out, and gets rid of them!! It helps prevents severe forms of acne and works to rid your skin of the spots when you do get them. Although this product is great, however, i had a bad initial breakout and lots of flakiness. Make sure you moisturize!! This was the only product i've found that can combat cystic acne!
I have been using Tretinoin 0.025% for 3 months now. My acne has cleared a lot. In the beginning I experienced the initial breakout so I started taking antibiotics (Bactrim), which helped a lot. I am going to keep taking the antibiotics for a couple more months until I work up to Tretinoin 0.05% and then gradually ween off of them (I hope this keeps the acne from coming back instead of quitting cold turkey!). Has anyone been on both tretinoin and an oral antiobiotic at the same. If so, how did you get off the antibiotic and rely solely on the tretinoin. I'm thinking a BP wash in the morning would help once I am off the antibiotic. Anyways, tretinoin is good but you really have to be patient... so if you're looking for a short term solution (like you need clear skin for an event coming up), I don't recommend it as it will cause you to break out pretty bad initially (and I still have red marks left over from this break out).
I was using this in addition to doxycycline and eventually minocycline. It did seem to help calm my acne down a bit, though it was by no means a cure. I did become very sensitive to sunlight as well. I used it every night for 7 months and I just kept hoping it would clear me up for good. At least it didn't make me worse. Also, a little goes a long way. I only used two tubes in 7 months time.
I told myself that if this treatment worked I would write a review to all of those out there who read nothing but negative reviews on Retin-A. I'm 33 years old, fought with acne since I was in 6th grade... I'm now 7 weeks into my treatment and my skin has never been better (I credit this to patience and my routine which I will outline below)! I did have the initial purging and yes it is hard to go through. Many times I wanted to stop but told myself that if I wanted clear skin I needed to go through the bad to get to the great. The purging started at about week 2 and lasted til week 4 and it was in the form of large cystic bumps all over my forehead. They hurt, they were impossible to cover and worse of all they left red marks....BUT I continued through it. At week 5 I started seeing some improvement and week 6 my skin looked amazing (except the red marks that were left from the initial purging). The BEST resource out there on this treatment is found at a blog called One step closer to a Peaches and Cream Complexion. She does an amazing job at outlining how this treatment works and most importantly what products you can use with it. Retin-A itself is an unstable compound and is very picky what products you use and I firmly believe this is one reason why so many have had negative experiences with it! So please please please look at the above mentioned blog and the review and comments section (she answers readers questions VERY thoroughly) It will completely change you view of acne care! But here is my routine....
Nightly- wash face with Normal to Oily CeraVe foaming face wash. let skin dry 20-30 minutes. Apply a small amount of Retin-A all over face. Let dry for 20 to 30 minutes. Once that is dry I put a thin layer of CeraVe moisturizing lotion on and that's it!
Morning - wash with CeraVe again. I swipe one of those salicylic acid throw away pads all over my face (I use Neutrogena but I am sure any would work). I found these really help to keep the small pimples away that form during the day because of oil, clogged pores, makeup breakouts, ect. then use Neutrogena Pure and Free Baby Sun Screen over the entire face. Sunscreen is a must when using this product, my face is very sensitive to sunscreens but this particular type works amazing for me and also serves as a moisturizer! Finish with make up and I am good to go for the day! Acne can be heartbreaking at any age and leaves not only physical scars but an emotional one at too...this treatment worked for me and I sincerely hope that it works for you!!!
I started Tretinoin 0.01% gel in November of 2013. I have moderate acne but it's very persistent. I saw some improvement and thought my acne was clearing. But then I started waking up with more inflamed red pimples and whiteheads every day. My skin was super red and peeled so bad. I thought it would go away but never did. I was then upped to 0.025% gel about a month or two ago. Still nothing. Now I'm on week 14, almost 15, with no results. I used it as directed. I washed my face, waited 30 minutes, then applied a pea-sized amount over my face without moisturizer. I applied it every other night until directed and then started applying it every night. Until I can go see the dermatologist, my doctor ordered me to stay on it. Tretinoin has worked for some people but not me. This was one of my last options before getting refereed to a dermatologist, and it failed. The only good things about this was that some areas of my face got smoother and the little blemishes went away quickly.
After struggling for several years with cystic acne in my late 20's, I finally decided to see a dermatologist instead of my PCP. I was already taking Minocycline, which helped, but I still had bad cystic acne. The dermatologist prescribed Retin-A Micro (apply at night) and Aczone (apply in morning). In the first month, I didn't notice much improvement, maybe even slightly worse small pimples, but cycstic acne was not worse. After a couple months, I was noticing a definite improvement and by four months, I am thrilled with the results. I think the Retin-A has helped with the small whiteheads/blackheads, while the Aczone is particularly good for the cystic acne (my doctor said it has the ability to penetrate deeper into the skin to kill bacteria than most topicals). At same time as starting these, I started using Cetaphil Oil Control foaming wash and moisturizer, which have been great.
Hello, I'm 24 yrs old. I have never had a problem with acne until I became pregnant. During my pregnancy I didn't use anything on my face as I was told, it would go away and should clear up on it's own after delivery. Well, for me it didn't. I waited about 2 weeks until after my baby was born to look into dermatologists. I made an appointment, and he prescribed TRETINOIN 0.025% CREAM 20GM as well as DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE 100MG TABLETS. I took the Doxy twice daily and at night I used the Tretinoin cream all over my face. The cream will start making you break out into huge cyst like bumps, and can really stress you out. Trust me, I cried almost everyday after picking at my skin. For me this happened around week 3-4 of taking the combination. It wasn't until about 2 to 2 1/2 months later, when I started noticing a big improvement. My skin is now acne-free. (BTW-I stopped using Doxy completely-as it gave me a yeast infection-ew!) I'm still on the Tretinoin, and ALWAYS wash my face in the morning and use tons of moisturizer because it does DRY out your skin. I do now have acne scars which I am noticing fade over time. But at least that can be covered easily with makeup. And isn't as annoying and stressful as the acne itself. Good luck!
My doctor prescribed me Tretinion 0.025% about two years ago and I barely used it but lately my skin has been at its worst so I decided I should start using it. At night I take my makeup off, wash my face and then apply the cream. After I apply the cream my face burns for a good 15 minutes. It feels like my whole face is sun burnt and I've noticed my face has become more sensitive throughout the day as well. Like I have sun burn. Also my face has been flaking and I've been getting red spots throughout my face. I'm not sure if this will go away but I feel like I don't want to use it anymore because it burns so bad.
We'll so far I've been on it for 2 weeks today and I've seen a very slight change in my skin. My skin rarely gets dry and so far im not flaking. I mostly just get acne on my forehead and I have a big cyst on my nose right now and quite a few pimples on my hairline.Some of the acne on my forehead has went down and now it's getting a little worse so I guess I'm on the initial breakout period. I will still continue to use this though because I believe that it will work! So far my skin is not sensitive to the sun or anything it's just getting oiler. I hope my acne gets better!
I'm 46 and have had acne since i was 14. I've tried everything out there and nothing has worked or lasted. this includes Accutane, antibiotics, sulpha lotion, benzoyl peroxide, laser, peels, and tons more. accutane worked for a few years but after the birth of my son, acne came back in a fury. i went on accutane again, but lasted a few months. This product with a combination of other products has helped resolve my problem. In the morning I wash my face with physoderm ph reducer. Then i apply a thin layer of reversa 8% glycolic cream (wait 15 minutes after washing to apply). Then i apply a second layer of Eucerin 5% urea face cream. Since glycolic can be irritating to the skin and also dries it out, this is the best cream that i have found to give me intense moisture without break outs. in the evening, i wash my face with sebcur 4% glycolic acid. Yes, this product is meant for dandruff, but the 2% face wash that are available on the market simply was not working. i needed something stronger. once my skin is completely dry, i apply .5 retinol cream to my entire face and add a second layer of eucerin 5% night cream (very very hydrating). Note that at the beginning, i had to apply the glycolic and retin a every 3rd day to give my face a chance to adjust. eventually it was every day without any irritation. By the 3rd week into this treatment, all pimples on my chin, cheek and nose disappeared. I had a few break outs and by week 6 nothing. I'm now on week 10 and still nothing. It is so nice now to get up in the morning, touch my face and no pimple can be found! its a miracle and i'm crossing my fingers that it will continue to last. the main benefit of this regime is that your skin will shed quite a bit bit without any irritation. however, it is important to manually exfoliate your skin every second day. The best exfoliating glove on the market is Renaissance. it costs more, but it can last several years (make sure to clean it on a weekly basis). i also purchased a small microdermabrasion machine and use it once a week for more intense exfoliation. This really helps with removing a lot of dead skin. Today, my skin is amazing. Many of my acne scars are barely noticeable. They are slowly disappearing and if you are in your forties, fine lines are also considerably reduced. My colleagues cannot believe how good my face looks, they indicated that i look so much younger and healthier. I wanted to share this regime as i have tried pretty much everything that exists out there.

China Yida Announces China Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) Tourism Project in Jiangxi Province
Company (Nasdaq: CNYD) ("China Yida" or the "Company"), a leading diversified
entertainment enterprise in China, today announced that it has entered into an
agreement with Zhangshu Municipal Government to develop
(Nourishing Life) tourism project (the "Project"), a large-scale vacation
destination covering a total area of approximately 6000 Mu (approximately 988
acres as 1 acre = 6.07 Mu), in Zhangshu City,
designed to focus on the theme of famous Taoist practice – Yang-sheng
(Nourishing Life), with Zhangshu City's rare natural resources – salt water
hot spring, and reputation as one of China's traditional medicine and herb
centers. Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) is the foundation of Taoist lifestyle,
which is still desired and actively pursued within today's Asian community.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091012/CNM039LOGO )
The Project will be developed approximately 2 kilometers from Zhangshu's
downtown, and within one hour travel from the adjacent airport or
the capital city of
it was at the origin of Chairman Mao's military force. In addition to several
highways, there are two railway lines connecting Zhangshu with
will be very accessible to a population of over 50 million within the 3-hour
economic circle of influence.
Other than its location, the Project will also benefit from other
advantages brought by Zhangshu City to potentially develop into one of China's
premier Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) vacation destinations. (1) The region is
endowed with rare resource of salt water hot spring, where visitors can float
on the water due to over 25% of salinity. The salt water hot spring also
contains over 40 mineral and microelements, including Na+, K+, Mg+, Br-, and
I-, all proven to be beneficial to human health. Due to its rareness, the salt
water hot spring could become the centerpiece of a Project to attract visitors
who pursue life wellness. (2) Zhangshu City, as one of the four major Chinese
traditional medicine centers attracts a large number of medicine dealers,
manufacturers and distributors, especially during the one-month annual Chinese
traditional medicine and herb trade expo held in October. For over 1800 years,
Zhangshu City is viewed as being associated with health and wellness of life,
which could be used to extend the Project beyond a traditional hot spring
destination. (3) The Zhangshu region is the home of "Site", a famous Chinese
Baijiu (White Wine). Originated from Taoist practice, moderate use of Chinese
Baijiu is considered to be beneficial to human health. With Zhangshu's deep
Chinese Baijiu culture background, the Project could reflect the merger of
Chinese Baijiu culture with Taoist Yang-sheng practice. (4) Zhangshu is
considered as the birthplace of Taoist's Lingbao School, an important Taoist
school that created the Yang-sheng philosophy and practice. The Company's
management believes that the Project could consolidate Zhangshu City's
geographic advantages, unique natural resources, long history, and Yang-sheng
culture, to become a premium Yang-sheng (Nourishing Life) vacation destination
that reflects China Yida's Yang-sheng concept – "Wellness, Happiness,
Lifestyle and Longevity."
The capital expenditure planned for the first development phase of Project
is estimated at approximately
which includes the construction of the Salt Water Hot Spring Spa & Health
Center (the "SPA Center"), the Yang-sheng Holiday Resort (the "Resort Hotel"),
in-destination roads and lakes, and the purchase of the land use rights for a
parcel of approximately 3000 Mu (approximately 494 acres, commercial and
residential land use, the "Commercial Land") as well as the rental payment for
a parcel of approximately 3000 Mu (approximately 494 acres) with the annual
rent estimated at
Management expects that the SPA Center and the Resort Hotel will be open
to the public by the end of 2012. Management thinks that the total number of
visitors in the first twelve months following the grand opening is expected to
reach approximately 300,000, contributing approximately
sales revenues and approximately
period of the first development phase is estimated to be within 4 years after
the grand opening.
The Company's management believes that it will be able to fund the first
development phase of Project and the first phase of the Bengbu project (please
see Company's press release on
8-K on
two years, and does not expect to require additional equity financing. After
the SPA Center and the Resort Hotel start operation, the Company expects to
obtain loans from local banks backed by fixed assets, including significantly
appreciated land.
In addition to the SPA Center and the Resort Hotel, Company plans to build
additional attractions on the Project site that may include the World Yang-
sheng Cultural Museum, the International Camphor Tree Garden, the Chinese
Medicine & Herb Museum, the Yang-sheng Sports Club, the Old Town of Chinese
Traditional Medicine and other Yang-sheng related projects and tourism real
estate projects. The Company is now conducting in-depth research, evaluation
and preparation on these plans.
In return for China Yida's proven track record of tourism destinations'
management and execution abilities in China as well as its long-term
investment commitment to make its project successful, the Zhangshu Municipal
Government is providing the following preferential arrangements to assist the
Company's project development:
1. Low Cost of Land. Zhangshu Municipal Government agreed to return
revenues from land use right transfer in excess of
Yida for infrastructural developments and constructions. Based on the current
price of approximately
City's downtown which is 2 kilometers from the Project, the 3000 Mu Commercial
Land will become one of Company's most valuable appreciating assets. Although
the management does not intend to develop any commercial real estate at this
time, they believe it is rare for the private entity like China Yida to be
able to obtain such a large piece of commercial use land in cities like
Zhangshu with large economic growth potential, especially China Yida has full
rights on this 3000 Mu Commercial Land, such as re-sell and pledge.
2. Full Rights on Commercial Use Land. Pursuant to the Company's agreement
with Zhangshu Municipal Government, the Company has the right to develop and
sell residential villas up to half size of the Commercial Land, i.e. 1500 Mu.
The management expects to accrue significant benefits from this right, even
management were to decide to just re-sell the land based on today's
kilometers away.
3. Exclusivity. Zhangshu Municipal Government has agreed not to approve
any additional salt water hot spring or related tourism projects to any third
parties to protect the exclusivity of the Project. The exclusivity of the
Project will ensure its uniqueness and protect its profitability in the long
term. The Zhangshu Municipal Government will also try to list the Project as a
Key Project at municipal and provincial level so as to obtain the financial
support from senior levels of government.
4. Preferential Tax Treatments. Zhangshu Municipal Government will try
its best to minimize the operating expenses of the Project. It will waive 100%
of the income tax for the first two years commencing from the grand opening
and 50% for the subsequent three years. It will also waive the salt water hot
spring resources tax and tourism resources tax within the Project's whole life.
In addition, it will waive or reduce most of the administration fees
throughout the Project's constructions. It will also allow China Yida to pay
for its outdoor lighting at a cheaper rate as of city's street lighting.
"Through the accumulation of our experience and growth of China Yida's
brand recognition after many years of practice, I believe China Yida has
entered an era of high-speed growth," commented Dr.
Chief Executive Officer of China Yida, "Due to Chinese Central Government's
plan to accelerate the growth rate of China's tourism industry, a company like
China Yida with rich tourism management experience is going to play a more
important role in the market place. At the same time, our value will continue
to grow with the expansion of China's tourism industry due to the scarcity of
capable players like us who can bring China's local tourism resources onto the
world stage. We are committed to building a firm foundation for Company's
long-term growth and shareholder value."
For more details about the contract between the Company and Zhangshu
Municipal Government, please refer to the China Yida's current report on Form
8-k filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Window Cleaner
A short muisc video based on the classic song "The Window Cleaner" sung by George Formby
4.39 / 5.00 6,085 ViewsWelcome to the new decade! This is my 36th Newgrounds release. Burnt Face Man is back after a 2 year hiatus in this slightly longer than usual episode. See him face the perils of a dirty pigeon, a master impersonator and the mighty Rockhead Rumple.
Awesome as usual. Great British and some other sort of humor I still don't fully understand, which is what makes it so funny. I've seen all of your stuff and always love it. Whenever I watch BFM i think of Particle Man by They Might Be Giants, lol.
Awesome, awesome stuff as usual. :D
Now, more Salad Fingers, kthxbai
Ahh, I missed it ^^
I wanted to make a review of composed thoughts, but the whole thing was a bit mindblowing and mind overwhelming... 0_O I got no suggestions, it's perfect in its surreality.
Say, I really miss Salad Fingers. Care to say when he'll be back ;)? Cheers mate.
Oh - and I'm getting my mic real soon, so if you'd need a voice actor, feel free to check me out ;D
Good luck =D
always good
burnt f3ace man ftw!
Also what was the name of the stupid robot from power rangers?
Best Burnt Face Man!
This was some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen from you, and from this entire website! This is one of the few things I have laughed out loud! I think the funniest part was when the guy said, "A bird it be" and shot off Burnt Face Man's leg. I also loved how you literally tied up all the loose ends at the end of the episode. The randomness and ridiculousness of it made it seem like Monty Python or something. I could just spend all day listing funny stuff (like when the Indian guy was talking about burning his genitals).

New West Nile Cases
POSTED: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - 6:36am
UPDATED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 - 2:24pm
New West Nile case numbers, and another pool of mosquitos has tested positive in El Paso. The health deppartment says there are currently 10 human cases of West Nile in El Paso County. A new pool of mosquitos in west El Paso has tested positive, bringing the total number of pools to six across the city.
The Health Department says there are several things people can do to keep themselves safe:
Removing any standing water they may have outside their homes and businesses.
Trimming the weeds and the vegetation on their property and nearby sidewalks, alleys and parkways. Tall weeds and grass serve as shelter for mosquitoes.
Getting rid of any tin cans, jars, plastic containers, plant pots and any other containers that can hold stagnant water.
Properly disposing of old tires.
Making sure roof gutters drain properly.
Keeping all swimming pools cleaned and chlorinated even if they are not being used.
Removing any standing water from culverts.
Storing plastic wading pools, buckets, barrels and wheelbarrows upside down so that the water cannot accumulate in them.
Frequently changing the water in birdbaths and pet dishes.
Aerating ornamental ponds or stock them with fish.
Keeping their yards trim. Weeds, tall grass and shrubbery provide an outdoor home for mosquitoes.

Are you asking "Does sugar make you fat?", "Does sugar cause fats in food?", or "Is sugar from fat?". I've read it those three ways, so I'll attempt to answer all three ways.
1. Does sugar make you fat? Not necessarily. It primarily comes down to how many calories. Shoot, a guy lost a pretty good amount of weight eating virtually nothing but Twinkies a couple years ago. Can it cause you to get fat? Certainly, as can everything else a person eats.
2. Does sugar cause fats in food? I guess maybe if the animals ate a lot of sugar. However, sugar itself doesn't make fat, the body does. (Now that I'm answering these last two, I'm thinking you were probably just asking "does sugar make you fat".)
3. Does sugar come from fats? Nope. Although, your body can and does convert fat into glucose(sugar) to use as energy- but does sugar actually come from fat? No. (Again, I'm almost certain at this point, that answering these last two questions was pointless, but I'll post them anyways.)
To go on from question one, sugar by itself can raise insulin levels quite a bit, and high insulin levels over a long time can lead to increased body fat and eventually diabetes depending on how much sugar is being consumed and how frequently a lot of sugar is consumed.
(For those who know more about nutrition, feel free to correct me)
Fantastic post.

President Obama said today that he "saw firsthand the anger and frustration felt by our neighbors in the Gulf" and underlined that "it is an anger and frustration that I share as president."
Referring to a congressional hearing Tuesday in which industry executives were grilled about what caused the spill, the president said he "did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter. You had executives of B.P. and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else."
"The American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn't," Mr. Obama said.
Whatever happened and caused the spill, the president said, "it is pretty clear that the system failed, and it failed badly. And for that, there's enough responsibility to go around. And all parties should be willing to accept it. That includes, by the way, the federal government."
"I will not tolerate more finger-pointing or irresponsibility," he said. He made his remarks in the Rose Garden outside the Oval Office after being briefed on the latest information on the spill by various Cabinet officials including Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
The president said for a decade or longer "there's been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill," the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service. "It seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies. That cannot and will not happen anymore."
The president said he'd asked Salazar to "conduct a top-to-bottom reform" of MMS, and he applauded Salazar's recommendations so far to separate the division of MMS "which permits oil and gas drilling and collects royalties…from the part of the agency in charge of inspecting the safety of oil rigs and platforms and enforcing the law. That way, there's no conflict of interest, real or perceived."
In addition, the president said he'd ordered immediate inspections of all deepwater operations in the Gulf of Mexico; a hold on any permits for drilling new wells "until the 30-day safety and environmental review that I requested is completed"; and an end to the loophole "that has allowed some oil companies to bypass some critical environmental reviews."
The president continued to voice support for offshore drilling, saying "domestic oil drilling continues to be one part of an overall energy strategy that now includes more clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency than at any other time in our history. But it's absolutely essential that, going forward, we put in place every necessary safeguard and protection so that a tragedy like this oil spill does not happen again."
As for the current situation in the Gulf, the president said that "what really matters is this: There's oil leaking and we need to stop it, and we need to stop it as soon as possible."

With machines set up in rows to encourage competition, many ordinary gyms cater to men's bodies and psychology, right down to the urinals that were "accidentally" installed in the women's locker room. At Curves, you'll move around a circuit of hydraulic resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage your machine maneuvering and your muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.

Owen Misses Toon Crunch Fixture
Michael Owen said yesterday he wanted to line-up against his old side on Wednesday ... but it looks unlikely.
Stoke duo Michael Owen and Andy Wilkinson are likely to miss tomorrow's Premier League clash with Newcastle.
Owen returned to training yesterday after a month out with a hamstring injury but Stoke are keen not to push the former England man too hard, while Wilkinson missed Saturday's victory over Fulham with a back problem.
Both players could well return for Saturday's trip to West Brom, but Marc Wilson (broken leg) and Rory Delap (hernia) are longer-term absentees.
Stoke provisional squad: Begovic, Sorensen, Huth, Shawcross, Cameron, Upson, Shotton, Whelan, Etherington, Palacios, Jones, Jerome, Crouch, Walters, Kightly, Adam, Edu, Nzonzi, Ness, Whitehead.

Chinese dragons are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology and folklore, with mythic counterparts among Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Bhutanese, Western and Turkic dragons. In Chinese art, dragons are typically portrayed as long, scaled, serpentine creatures with four legs. In yin and yang terminology, a dragon is yang (male) and complements a yin (female) fenghuang "Chinese phoenix".
In contrast to European dragons that are considered evil, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck.

Truthful but extreme, courageous but unyielding, Metal Dragons have a strength similar to the Dragon fire. Metal Dragons succeed through determination. They are mighty and respect people who stand up to them. In troubled times, these Dragons make great allies, but become ferocious challengers. Metal Dragons can often calm others through their forceful personalities. They seek action, and things are never better than when they are defending a thought or belief about which they have complete faith. Metal Dragons like to lead, and have an affect that makes others want to follow them. Yet even if they attract no support they will fight alone.-——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Some of the members of Capsicum are used as spices, vegetables, and medicines. The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. They are commonly called chilli pepper, red or green pepper, or sweet pepper in Britain, and typically just capsicum in Australian and Indian English. The large mild form is called bell pepper in the US and Canada. They are called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit).-——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Thanks Karen. This was just the boost I needed this morning when I looked out the window this morning it is snowing AGAIN! ~~Ratsafratz~~ I love all the albums you share, but I love the pastels of Spring and Easter best. Nana |
Karen, love the big carrot! Not sure what our plans are today. If I get bored I'll see if DH wants to cut out one. Thanks! Punk |

LOL, Punk.....I like that "if YOU get bored", then DH might be cutting one out. Nana, I'm so glad you enjoyed the Pinterest board. If you want to keep it bookmarked, I'll be adding stuff pretty often I imagine. hugs, Karen |
Karen, in my defense, DH loves to cut anything I want and then some. I try not to waste his time if I'm not going to bother painting it. We've donated so many projects he's cut out for me in the past and I haven't taken or found the time to finish. Again, thanks so much for all your time with the albums Punk |

I wanted to do the wood tray dividers both from an aesthetic standpoint and I thought wood would be nicer to my pans than metal. However my KD was discouraging me from wood because in his opinion it wears compared to metal. What are people's experiences? I'll be putting sheet pans, baking dishes, cooling racks, and other misc pans between them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
My Mom has had wood tray dividers in her cupboard since 1977. I haven't specifically looked for wear, but they certainly work just fine, have held up well, and look great. I would much rather have wood than metal, just from an acoustic standpoint. How much wear will be inflicted on the dividers? |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Wed, May 1, 13 at 19:31
I have wood dividers built in to my cab over the oven for sheet pan, cooling rack, and extra cutting boards. My cab maker forgot to build wood ones into a cab in my DR I wanted to use for tray storage so he installed some after-market metal ones. Given the noise those make with my large metal and glass trays, I'm glad to have wooden ones over my oven. The metal, however, is more sturdy. |
My dividers are wood and some are composite in the drawers - It is cheap to replace the composite ones in the drawers but only expect to do that every 10-20 years based on using the same product at the hospital in our therapy dept and how long it lasts. I wouldn't like the rattle of metal on metal. |
breezy, that is exactly what I was thinking of using. I'll have to investigate more because the KD mentioned something about edge banding so they may be using thicker dividers. Thank you for the input. |

Agile companies are well-placed to capitalise on economic recovery. But much depends on the ability of business leaders to collaborate across an organisation. How is this goal best achieved?
Collaboration is a more essential skill for business leaders than ever before – but unless it's a cornerstone of a company's culture, it can be difficult to introduce. Old habits die hard, and leaders who are more accustomed to being firmly in control often struggle to adopt a team approach to leadership and encourage others to do the same.
Business coach Hilary Lines, co-author of a book on the subject, Touchpoint Leadership, says it's a vital skill that senior executives must learn. "Over the last decade or so, organisations have become more global and flatter management structures have evolved, so there's a much greater need for leaders to connect across groups, cultures, sectors and specialisms," she says.
"After the financial crisis there's been a lot of talk about agile organisations, and companies becoming leaner and changing direction, but your organisation cannot be agile unless you are really connected. Strong collaborative leadership is about building critical relationships between individuals, teams, partners and customers. The good news is that through coaching, even the most autocratic leader can learn to collaborate."
Some business leaders have used their personal experience to make the switch from a culture of command and control to one of freedom and trust. Traditional manufacturing is one sector not immediately associated with workplace collaboration, but at engineering specialist Tharsus – since the arrival of chief executive Brian Palmer in 2003 – growth has been underpinned largely by working closely together.
"It is a cultural thing," says Palmer. "During the 1980s I was among the first graduate intake at Nissan, where, as a young engineer, I was given a huge amount of responsibility. However, when I left and went to work at Ford, the culture could not have been more different, and I found it stifling."
This influenced Palmer's own leadership style and Tharsus, which employs around 150 people at Blyth in Northumberland, encourages collaboration between colleagues. It's driven from the top, but also evident on the shop floor, where workers are asked to suggest and implement practices to improve operations. "This philosophy not only extends to our customers," says Palmer. "We don't just build products for them, we work closely to refine design, enhance technology and improve productivity."Changing the culture
Some of the bigger challenges lie with leaders who, having done things a certain way for years, find it hard to let go and behave differently, says business coach and Touchpoint Leadership co-author Jacqui Scholes-Rhodes. "True collaborative leadership is about trusting people to act responsibly and freely to do the right thing. If you've never done that before, if you've always believed that your role is to hold the attention of your staff and control them, that is a huge transition to make," she says.
Simply replacing the leader can also create cultural shockwaves. "The CEO of a large FTSE organisation I once worked for had absolute control of the company," says Scholes-Rhodes. "He was eventually replaced by an individual whose style was extremely collaborative yet his approach, which involved asking members of the senior team what they thought the organisation needed to do, left them thinking that he couldn't lead. Gradually, senior team members did step into this leadership vacuum, but it does illustrate how a cultural change can be hard to implement."
Nowhere is that difficulty more evident than in the creation of a diverse workplace, particularly when it comes to gender equality. Diversity at senior levels makes for better decision-making. Yet all too often females are promoted to top roles and feel they have to fit in by doing what men do.
Lisa Buckingham, head of diversity at the IoD, says: "Women's leadership style tends to be more collaborative and designed to bring out the best in a team. Research under way appears to show that male leaders who champion diversity also gain a 'halo effect' in their organisations, which is resulting in improved performance.
"As we seek to compete with the dynamic Asian economies, we must nurture and exploit every ounce of creativity available and this is best achieved by collaboration and inclusiveness."
Growing businesses that were founded on a culture of collaboration face the challenge of maintaining momentum as the organisation expands. A true test of a collaborative leader's skill is to promote that culture throughout each stage of growth.
Lawrence Jones, chief executive of Manchester-based hosting firm UKFast, founded the business with others, designed the office layout to foster collaboration, and hires only those with a natural tendency to work closely together. The management structure subverts the traditional notion of hierarchy, and each employee is encouraged to take ownership over their part of the business. The working environment is one in which anyone can challenge anyone else.
Jones says: "The office is made up of pods; small teams sitting around open-plan workstations. Clients have a dedicated pod so they can speak to the same people each time they call. The pods include an account manager, two Linux engineers and two Windows engineers. This way, employees from different specialities work collaboratively."
UKFast recruits people based on a set of core values, including what is referred to as a 'supportive gene', so that only those who are naturally inclined towards helping others are brought into the team.
"The benefits of a company-wide culture of collaboration have included higher profits, because our staff are highly motivated, engaged and therefore more productive," adds Jones.
But change must start at the top, says Lines: "Leaders need to increase their own awareness of themselves, their style, their values, and every aspect of their behaviour that influences the people around them."Touchpoint Leadership by Hilary Lines and Jacqui Scholes-Rhodes is published by Kogan Page (£29.99)
Collaborate and thrive
Five top tips for business leaders…LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Collaboration starts at the top, but it's equally important to spread the message on the shop floor and encourage employees to suggest and implement new practices.Build strong relationships
Businesses have become flatter and more agile, making it easier for leaders to connect across different groups. Foster links between individuals, teams, partners and customers.Promote diversity
"Women's leadership style tends to be more collaborative and designed to bring out the best in a team," says the IoD's head of diversity, Lisa Buckingham.Keep up the teamwork
As a company expands, the true test of a collaborative business leader's skill is maintaining a collegial workplace through each stage of growth.Sharpen your skills
"The good news is that through coaching, even the most autocratic leader can learn to collaborate," says business coach and author Hilary Lines.
