Dear Mr. Berko: I need advice on buying $40,000 in gold bars being offered by Morgan Gold. I would buy them in my individual retirement account. You told me to buy gold in 2001, when it was $275.
So please tell me whether you would recommend this purchase now or you think I should wait to see whether gold falls more in price. And could you tell me the reason or theory as to why gold is supposed to increase in value? The registered financial consultant at Morgan thinks gold will go to $5,000 an ounce by 2014. He says his company can buy gold for me at a lower price than any competitor can. I know gold has almost doubled since 2009, but do you think it will do as well by the time I retire in 2030?
HW, Syracuse, N.Y.
Dear HW: The most accepted theory explaining the increase in the price of gold is called the greater fool theory. I believe gold and diamonds possess a similar value and a similar history. Both have historical significance; both have tangible industrial and personal use; and both have been sought after for thousands of years. But truth be told, the only thing that makes a 5-carat flawless diamond or a 440-ounce gold bar a wonder to look at is the realization of how much some silly idiot is willing to pay for it.
However, I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm certain as sunshine that I never recommended the purchase of gold in 2001 at $275 an ounce; in fact, I never have advised anyone to purchase the stuff and doubt I ever will.
The price of gold has actually been quite stable for several hundred years. In 1716, Sir Isaac Newton, who was master of the British mint, set the price of gold at today's equivalent of $19.75 a troy ounce.
In 1776, when George Washington was being rowed across the Delaware, gold was still $19.75 an ounce. The official U.S. government price of gold has changed only four times since then. It was raised to $20.67 in 1834, when Andrew Jackson was president, and raised again, to $35 an ounce, in 1934, during FDR's first term. A two-tiered pricing system was created in 1968, and the price of gold was allowed to fluctuate.

Senior United Nations officials have warned the United States that its instructions to diplomats to covertly collect biometric data on U.N. officials would be violation of U.N. diplomatic immunity and a breach of international law. According to media quoting unnamed U.N. sources, "a formal complaint could follow if and when more information about Washington's secret operation emerges."
The blowback from the U.N. followed close on the heels of the WikiLeaks whistleblower website's exposé of sensitive cables from the State Department and denials by U.S. officials, including the Secretary of State, that the leak would alter the fundamental nature of U.S. diplomatic engagement the world over.
The reaction by U.N. officials was specifically in the context of one cable, dating from July 2009 and issued in the name of the Secretary of State, which sent to U.S. diplomats in the U.N. a "request for continued DOS (Department of State) reporting of biographic information relating to the UN."
Under what the State Department describes as the National HUMINT (Human Intelligence) Collection Directive, the Secretary's office sent this cable to a large number of U.S. embassy officials abroad as well, including the New Delhi embassy.
As per the cable the data that U.S. diplomats were required to collect included such categories as names, position titles and other information on business cards; numbers of telephones, cell phones, pagers and faxes; telephone directories and e-mail listings; internet and intranet "handles," internet e-mail addresses, web site identification-URLs; credit card account numbers; frequent flyer account numbers; and even work schedules.
Barely 48 hours after WikiLeaks began trickling out private communications between top diplomats in Washington and U.S. embassies abroad, senior U.N. officials were quoted by The Guardian as saying that they had been taken by surprise at the "unusual extent and detail of the activity in the documents".
In particular, they said, they had been surprised by the requests for biometric information on high-ranking U.N. officials and the permanent representatives of the Security Council from China, Russia, France and the U.K. Some officials said on Monday that they had made representations to the U.S. government outlining these concerns.
However at a press briefing the U.S. representative to the U.N., Susan Rice, did not directly answer a question on whether the U.S. was actually asking its diplomats to spy on the U.N. leadership.
She said, "Our diplomats are just that – they are diplomats. That is what they do every day... I could not be more proud of them as they conduct the work of the U.S. government and do the work that diplomats do around the world." She added that in today's complex world the work of U.S. diplomats in the U.N. and around the world was "indispensible to our national security".
However shortly after the cable became public, Farhan Haq, Acting Deputy Spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, reportedly said, "The U.N. charter, the Headquarters Agreement and the 1946 Convention contain provisions relating to the privileges and immunities of the organisation."
He added that the U.N. relied on adherence by its member-states to such undertakings, drawing attention in particular to a clause in the 1946 Convention, according to which "The property and assets of the United Nations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation and any other form of interference, whether by executive, administrative, judicial, or legislative action."

The hydraulic-fracturing provision under the Senate's energy bill drew criticism from gas groups including America's Natural Gas Alliance and Energy In Depth. The measure could lead to a "series of legal responsibilities" that could pose difficulties for site operators and service companies, said Lee Fuller, executive director of Energy In Depth. ANGA, meanwhile, said it believes that regulating hydraulic fracturing "is best addressed at the state level."

I had a minty lemonade when I was travelling in the Middle East. I wanted to try and immitate it. It cools you down on a hot summer day! Adjust the amount of mint to taste.
This is a heavenly roasted aubergine dip which originates from Lebanon. Delicious served with pitta, vegetables and houmous as part of a meze platter, or - of course - on it's own!
Asian ingredients give these barbecued chops loads of flavour. They can also be put in the oven and grilled.
The sweetness of barbecued vegetables is balanced by a tart tomato sauce, which mixes perfectly with simple couscous. A lovely light summer meal that is sure to get you to your five a day.
Popular throughout the Middle East, this thick and chunky Arab omelette is served flat, not rolled or folded, and is more like a cake. It is packed with vegetables and chickpeas, and is equally delicious hot or cold – ideal for a picnic. Serve with a simple tomato and red onion salad, and garlic flat bread.
Couscous makes a brilliant base for a quick salad, as it only needs a brief soaking in hot stock (or water). Here it is combined with chickpeas, dates, oranges and pistachios for a Middle Eastern-style vegetarian dish.
Homemade hummus only takes a few moments to whizz together and makes a perfect light lunch, served simply with pitta. But for a balanced meal, turn it into this more substantial salad with the addition of crisp salad vegetables.
That old-fashioned chicken salad has adopted a new-fashioned Oriental accent. Grilled chicken is tossed with a healthy mix of oranges, spring onions, mangetout and lychees and is then crowned with a drizzle of smooth peanut dressing.
This tabbouleh recipe is different. Instead of using bulgur like traditional tabbouleh, this recipe uses quinoa. It is a grain that is available at health shops. It looks and tastes better than bulgur. My husband and I both love this and neither of us is vegetarian. It's a great meal for a hot summer day. The longer it sits the better it tastes.
This Asian noodle salad makes a good, quick one-pot meal, and the sky's your limit when it comes to what other vegetables to add.

I left my brew belt on all day. Got home and the airlock is going crazy. Is this good or bad?? Did I ruin my beer??
what temp is/was it at? and what yeast are you using
___________ do your job and get me a beer!
Living in the frozen north as I do, my basement temperature rarely goes above 60 in the winter, so I tend to leave the brew belt on all the time once the initial fermentation has started, and it maintains my brew at 65 to 68. I'm still trying to get the timing right, though. If I put it on too soon after pitching the yeast I get a blow out, but if I wait too long the temperature drops too much and fermentation stalls. Fermentation is exothermic, so putting the belt on too soon in the early very active stages gets the temperature well up into the 70's.
It was over the stick on temp. A coopers yeast.
Well you didn't "ruin" your beer, the only thing I can say is you won't know how much the high fermentation temp affected the flavor until you bottle it and find out; RDWHAHB.
Primary: Nada Secondary: Nada On Tap: Pale Ale, Brown, Marzen, cider, skeeter pee Next batch(es): dirty blonde Updated: 2-24-2014"Oh no, not again" - A Bowl of Petunias
Get a temp controller and then you can plug the Bly into it and set the desired temp and it will turn in and off as necessary
Guess I will wait and see what it taste likes. Will tell you in a month
I finally got around to building a temp controller (STC-1000, got it for like $20 on amazon and cannibalized an old extension cord to wire it, then just shoved it all in a shoe box). with the brew belt and wrapping my fermenters in a blanket I can keep things at a comfortable 67* even though our basement is around 50-55, and I don't have to worry about it overshooting. you don't need the freezer if the ambient is lower than your target temperature, and IMO spending the $30 and the hour or so to wire it all together is *so* worth it in the end.

Revision as of 09:18, 18 August 2014
Similarly in politics, scorecards provide information on the status or progress of politicians and/or policy issues. They are aggregated on Ballotpedia profiles to help provide context for readers on an official's term in office, a policy or an incumbent's voting record.
Some scorecards are created with a focus on specific issues, while others are broad in scope.
On Ballotpedia, we define scorecards as those produced by newspapers, interest groups, state think tanks, partisan groups, 501c3s and 501c4s that provide relative rankings and covers all state or federal lawmakers.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. We have begun the process of adding more in-depth descriptions about the reports and the scoring processes. However, for those that do not yet feature such descriptions, we offer a tutorial so you can help us expand these areas. See our writing guidelines below to contribute.
Common terms
- Scorecards: a record used to measure achievement or progress. The measurement and subjects in the record vary in each publication.
- Voter guides: the term voter guides generally refers to pamphlets published and distributed by state governments just prior to an election. However, non-government groups, such as nonprofits, newspapers and interest groups, also publish guides for voters' use. The guides can be written in an unbiased nature and present only what will appear on the ballot or they display whether the group supports, opposes or is neutral on an issue or candidate. The latter version is similar to and can be considered a scorecard.
- Indexes: can refer to an alphabetical list of names, topics or items. However, it is also defined as a measure or an indicator. The term "indexes" is also used in reference to what Ballotpedia classifies as "scorecards."
To add a scorecard link
Go to State legislative scorecards in Texas. Replace Texas with the appropriate state name. Identify when the scorecard you plan to add was published and select [edit] for the appropriate year. Add a bullet point (using an asterisk) and the link to the scorecard. Cite the name of the organization and the name of the scorecard report. Add a sub-bullet point (use a colon and asterisk) to include a brief description of the organization and scorecard.
- American's for Prosperity Texas - Texas Legislative Report Card 2013
- Legislators are scored on bills which relate to economic freedom, the size and scope of government, and individual liberty.
Select "preview" to review your edit. If everything looks correct, select "save."
To expand a scorecard section
Visit a specific incumbent profile. Example - George Lavender. Create a subsection within the "Scorecards" section. For example: ===NAME==== Replace NAME with the name of the group's scorecard. Below the subsection title write a description about the organization and include details about the produced scorecard. You should include: the tax status of a group (501c3, for example) if available, how frequently the report is published (annually? each legislative session?) what the scorecard is grading the scale used (for example, letter grades, percentages, a 0-100 scale) the issues being evaluated and how the group is measuring each incumbent (reviewing state budgets plus votes on budget-related bills proposed in the YEAR-YEAR session, for example) Add a subsection for the year. For example: ====YEAR==== Replace YEAR with the year the report was published. list the score given to the incumbent note how the incumbent fared in comparison to others (49th out of 150 legislators or in the top 25%)
Empower Texans Fiscal Responsibility Index
Empower Texans produces the Fiscal Responsibility Index as "a measurement of how lawmakers perform on size and role of government issues." The index uses "exemplar votes on core budget and free enterprise issues that demonstrate legislators' governing philosophy."[1] Legislators are graded along a standard grading scale, receiving grades A through F based on their performance during the legislative session.
George Lavender received a grade of B on the 2011 Fiscal Responsibility Index. He was one of eight representatives to receive the B grade. A total of 45 representatives received a grade of B+ or better.

Albuquerque HotelsBeckoning lovers of the great outdoors with its sunny desert scenery, Albuquerque sits straddling the Rio Grande, just west of the rugged Sandia Mountains. Known for its thriving American Indian and Spanish cultural heritage, the city's vivacious Old Town simmers with history, where terracotta-toned adobe architecture has existed for hundreds of years. Sizzling taquerias offer yet more traditional tastes of New Mexico, whilst the city's numerous museums and Albuquerque Biological Park provide plenty to see and do. Each fall the city hosts the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which sees hundreds of hot air balloons saturate the sky with color.Things to seeOld Town Plaza is the green and shady centerpiece of Albuquerque's historic Old Town, a brick-paved district brimming with shops, restaurants, and galleries - many of which reside within characterful Pueblo-Spanish buildings. For souvenir hunters seeking Southwestern art, there's no better place to shop. Preserving the rich heritage and culture of New Mexico's 19 Pueblos, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center makes for a captivating visit. The museum boasts a trove of artefacts, alongside a vibrant collection of historic and contemporary artworks. Adjacent to the city, Sandia Peak Ski and Tramway takes visitors on breathtaking cable car ascent over the dramatic Cibola National Forest. Atop the 10,378 foot summit of Sandia Peak, you can enjoy far-reaching valley views, nature hikes, and skiing in the winter. Albuquerque Biological Park is a must-see. Alongside an idyllic 36-acre botanical garden, the environmental museum also features the BioPark Aquarium, and the Biopark Zoo – home to over 250 animal species from around the world.Hotels in
AlbuquerqueWhether you're here for business, pleasure, or the Balloon Fiesta, the hotels in Albuquerque can accommodate any type of stay. Here you'll find everything from shiny high rise downtown digs and adobe guesthouses, to luxury resorts and modern chain hotels catering to every pocket. The larger properties typically provide the most amenities, with on-site restaurants, swimming pools, fitness facilities and business centers - whilst in-room WiFi and cable TV make an appearance in most places. Whilst the hotels in Albuquerque tend to priced lower than most US cities, you'll find plenty of thriftier digs too, the majority of which come with a budget brand name.Where to stayDowntown Albuquerque is the city's bustling high rise heart. Central Avenue, part of Route 66, is the main artery, where you'll find an array of restaurants, shops, galleries and nightspots. A hotel in Albuquerque's downtown also keeps you close to some of the city's best attractions, including Albuquerque Biological Park, and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. What's more, the winding brick pathways and quaint shops of Old Town are just a stone's throw away. A big business center, Uptown is home to the Expo New Mexico, which hosts the action-packed New Mexico State Fair, as well as the Coronado Center and ABQ Uptown shopping malls.How to get to Albuquerque

When you are just finding your feet, this is a good tour without too many pauses.

United Kingdom
It was the perfect start to the visit as it gave us a feel for the layout of some of the main sites without the stress. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English. The boat trip was the highlight for me. Tokyo is massive, and we got a feel for the scale of it from the boat. The coach was spotless, and everything went like clockwork! Tip: The Viator office is downstairs, under the World Trade Centre. There is more than one tour company operating from there, but Viator's is immediately opposite the staircase.

This was an interesting introduction to Tokyo city ending at the fascinating Asakusa market and temple area. There was good time to wander around the temple precinct. Guide was excellent.
Very good trip. I think they could leave out the river trip and just let people spend more time at the market and surrounding area.
Great afternoon. Guide was fantastic.
Nice afternoon tour until we got on the boat. There was a school group and we couldn't hear a word on the loudspeaker. I would have liked to know what we were cruising by.
This was a lovely tour and gave us a change to get to know Tokyo on our first full day in this fabulous City.
Nice tour. Competent and fluent English speaking guide. The "river cruise" was just a boat trip and perhaps the least interesting part of the tour...
Very nice tour. Maybe need to have audio tool to help listen the talk of guide, because of too many people around.
As my first day and first time in Japan this tour was a good introduction to the city an culture. On the river cruise I didn't get to see that much from an isle seat.
Very well-organized tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and also funny at the time.The pace of the tour was just perfect, allowing us to have enough time to see the attractions and take some pics as well.
Nice way to spend the afternoon. I've been to Asakusa before but in a different season so it was nice to see it with the fall leaves changing. The river cruise is relaxing and scenic. Our guide, Junko, was great. She really kept our group together and informed and on time.
Informative and interesting
I had already taken the Panoramic Tokyo Day Tour the day before and this one recapped a few of the places we went to. The new additions that were different from the day tour was the viewing from the observation floor of the World Trade Center building and the boat ride up the Sumida River. The one plus about this tour was it wasn't as rushed as the Panoramic Day tour. Just because it wasn't so rushed was a big plus and in many ways more preferable to the day tour. However, the afternoon tour did not go to the Meiji Shinto shrine which was quite beautiful and deserves a repeated viewing.
We decided to do this tour to get a brief overview of Tokyo. We took the tour on the second day of our trip. We were very happy that we took this tour. It wasn't rushed and our guide was great! You will be happy you took the tour!!

South Carolina Water Science Center
ABOUT THE SOUTH CAROLINA WSCUSGS IN YOUR STATEUSGS Water Science Centers are located in each state. |
Influence of subsurface drains on contaminant source and fate, Site 45, Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South CarolinaProject Number: 2519-CH501 INTRODUCTIONThe U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has begun examination of particular aspects associated with groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents (Tetra Tech NUS, Inc., 2004, 2005) at Site 45, Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD), Parris Island, South Carolina. The groundwater contamination plume is characterized by two major lobes, hereafter referred to the southern and northern parts of the contamination plume. USGS activities at the site supplement existing ongoing investigations, and examine some hydraulic issues not previously examined, with the goal of optimizing remediation. PROBLEMAt this site, a chlorinated solvent plume in groundwater originates from an area where there is no history of contaminant use, and the plume appears to be headed toward a housing facility. OBJECTIVESObjectives of this study are to:
SCOPEIn 2007, preliminary work by the U.S. Geological Survey at this site showed that the contamination appears to have originated by leakage from a sanitary sewer that drained a dry cleaning facility that had a history of spills, that rapid biodegradation of the contamination takes place in the aquifer, and that storm sewers beneath the water table intercept the contamination prior to transport to the housing facility. In 2008, Specific tasks will be to resolve uncertainties in the contaminant distribution near the source area by installing temporary wells, determine the potential affect on surface water by collecting and analyzing surface-water samples, examining the potential for contamination of the deeper aquifer by installing new wells, examining natural attenuation aspects by sampling existing and new wells, and producing a report. APPROACHResolving uncertainties in the contaminant distribution near the source area will be accomplished by installing and sampling approximately 19 temporary wells in that area. Determining the potential influence on surface water will be accomplished by collecting sediment and water samples at multiple points where the storm sewer discharges to a surface-water body. Examining the potential for contamination of the deeper aquifer will be done by installing and sampling three new monitoring wells near the source area to a depth immediately below a confining bed at the base of the contaminated shallow aquifer. Evaluation of natural attenuation aspects will be done by sampling existing monitoring wells along the path of contaminant transport. BENEFITSA better understanding of the influence of subsurface drains on contaminant movement will allow other sites to adequately address this aspect when characterizing groundwater contamination. The influence of subsurface drains is an often overlooked aspect. As shown by this investigation, subsurface drains can be an extremely influential influence on the source, transport, and fate of groundwater contamination. |

Key Executives for Zachry Construction Corporation
Zachry Construction Corporation Key Developments
Flatiron, along with their joint venture partner Zachry Construction Corporation, have secured a contract for the Interstate 85/Interstate 385 Interchange project in Greenville, South Carolina. The $231 million design-build project for the South Carolina Department of Transportation will reconfigure the interchange at I-85 and I-385, improving traffic operations and safety for about 194,000 vehicles per day. The project will replace existing loop ramps with direct-connect, high-level flyover bridges and includes construction of a new collector-distributor roadway along Interstates 85 and 385. The project also includes reconfiguration and replacement of existing ramps, construction of additional lanes along I-85 and I-385, resurfacing and rehabilitation of I-85. Crews will design and construct 12 new bridges, rehabilitate two existing bridges and construct retaining walls. The project will also require extensive attention to traffic maintenance to minimize impact on the traveling public. The new interchange will relieve congestion and increase safety on the third busiest interchange in South Carolina. The project is the state's large transportation infrastructure project in over a decade. The project is led by a joint venture of Flatiron and Zachry Construction Corp., with a design team of Civil Engineering Consultant Services Inc. as the primary designer, along with Stantec, TYLin, and Mead and Hunt as major sub consultants. Construction is slated to begin in late fall 2015, and scheduled for completion in 2018.
Tutor Perini Corporation announced that its joint venture's bid, valued at approximately $985 million, was recently identified by the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) as the 'apparent best value' for the design and construction of the initial Madera to Fresno segment of the California high-speed rail system. The Authority's Board of Directors is expected to approve the design-build contract for this project in the coming weeks. Once the contract is awarded, Tutor Perini's portion of the contract value will be added to the company's backlog. Tutor Perini is the managing partner of the joint venture team, which includes Zachry Construction Corporation and Parsons Corporation. Initial work on this project is planned to begin by July 2013. The project is anticipated to create more than 1,000 construction jobs per year over its four-year duration.

Recent Lake Nantahala Reviews
exotic and luxurious
multi leveled, full of natural light, deer horns and bear carvings. A spacious kitchen, a jukebox, fireplaces, best sheets EVER, wraparound balconies, lots of stovetop burners for family cooking. Everything is exquisitely appointed: details, no expense spared. We were 11 adults and 4 children and it was never crowded, or too noisy: so many places to wander off to. The lake is expansive and worth renting jet skis to get around. Totally private. A bit 'isolated' and regular cellphones don't work there, but the house phone works. WiFi!
My only caution is 'getting there': one way ,twisting, unpaved mountain road with steep drop offs. Don't drive at night!
Tony and Family from Miami Lakes
We stayed week of Christmas and all that was promised was very true !! great beautiful place !!!! just wish we had more time to stay, little town about 25 minutes away also very nice community, we will be back !!! I have two daughters (25 & 23 ) and son 14 and they all loved the lodge and walking around to sightsee , many things to do , highly recommend !!!

Citizens Pay for Bad ManagementSubmitted by Bye Bye Bad Guys (not verified) on Mon, 11/07/2011 - 6:11pm.
Farris states, "Things are more complicated now, therefore, we should pay them more."

Improving accuracy of multichannel volume holographic correlators by using a two-dimensional interleaving method
Optics Letters, Vol. 32, Issue 20, pp. 2972-2974 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (516 KB)
We introduce a two-dimensional interleaving method to improve the output accuracy of volume holographic correlators. The method redistributes the pattern of every input and stored image without changing their inner products, so it can eliminate the impact of correlation pattern difference on calculated inner product values. Experimental tests show that this method can achieve more accurate output intensity for every channel, which agrees much better with the theoretical value than without this method.

Erik Bates+121 Reply It's here to stay until something better comes along. Such is the way of the tech world.
MyBinding.com+010 Reply We are on Twitter and tweet plenty. I think it's just like any other social platform, here for a while. As long as Twitter can continue to adapt to meet its users demands, it will stick around.
Corkey Lamey+232 Reply i turn to twitter for the latest in everything...quite often other information sources are way behind most of the important stories & breaking news...twitter is here to stay...happy birthday!
Jeremy Couch+121 Reply I would say the VAST majority of those tweets are nothing more than automatic bots distributing content from blogs, Facebook, and other sources. That's not to say it doesn't have some usefulness but it's never going to be a competitor to Facebook or Google.
Mauri Kassick+010 Reply I use Twitter, but I do so passively; I try to follow only a few local news networks and some local government agencies that keep track of traffic reports and severe weather warnings.That way, I can react more quickly if there's an accident on the road on my way to work, or know if there are roadblocks, or heavy rain warnings ... stuff like that.It is surprisingly effective, doesn't consume my mobile bandwidth that much and has improved my life ever since I got a smartphone. I think cities should actually try to build on this initiative. Brands and products can do their marketing on Facebook and similar, but the rapid-response and KISS nature of Twitter makes it an excellent online emergency broadcast system.
Parit Shah+010 Reply I love how I turn to twitter to confirm a piece of news.. or to get a more recent update. It's way faster than any other medium!
Inside Jobs+010 Reply Happy birthday, Twitter! We love you as a resource to connect with an engaging audience.
Brian Bremer+232 Reply It's quite amazing how twitter has changed the news world. Everyone wants to be the first to "break" the big story, but so many times stories are now wrong or infactual. I really like Twitter, but it's amazing how it has changed the world of news and information.
Michael McGimpsey+010 Reply It's here to stay but who owns it will change. At some point someone big will have to buy it.
Marvin Kusmierz+010 Reply I wonder how many members they have, surely it's more than the 140 million users?
Tristan Dahl+565 Reply The company also boasted that its network generates zeros of dollars of profit every single month.
Tom Gimer+010 Reply Twitter also claimed that its 140 character limit and 140 million idiotic users is no coincidence.
Chalessa White+010 Reply I have an account but I never use it...think I just signed up for a contest. As for members...it's possible, every advertisement I hear and see says "follow us on Twitter".
Elizabeth Giles+010 Reply Considering it seems impossible to distinguish between users and accounts it seems realistic. I personally am 1 user but have 8 Twitter accounts. Property management companies would be the same. They would have 1 account per property so they may have 30 account handles.
Gabriel Walsh+232 Reply Interesting that no one is seeing the G+ co-relation. With over 100 million users in six months G+ should catch up and surpass twitter's entire user-base in a few months. Seeing that G+ shares pretty much all the features available to twitter and has a LOT more features, If I was twitter I would be concerned.
Paul Wooding+232 Reply Assuming this is 1 (US) billion twitter posts, then 999,000,000 are total pointless crap.Not really a relevant statistic to boast about
Adam Moreland+010 Reply I am not on Twitter. Everything i need to say can be done another way. Besides, no one is that interested in the warblings of a low ranking Joe Bloggs working in a town most will never have heard of, unless it suddenly gets struck with an earthquake or is invaded by aliens. Or is Twitter: "low rank dudes get no love. unless #earthquake strikes"
Gary Beach+010 Reply Tried it but seldom use it. Though it does have an interesting process by which the banal seems urgent and in need of a response.
myron kuepfer+010 Reply I prefer Twitter. Far tighter community building there in my experience, far less sinister data collection and intrusiveness than FB and G+. Downsides as well, of course.
Melissa D+121 Reply I am not on twitter yet, but I did watch The Facebook Obsession the other day and DO NOT LIKE the way FB collects and uses data from their users!
Chris Pidek+232 Reply I don't Twit, but if it's anything like texting an social media posts, more than half that number must be LOLs and OMGs, and not real info.
Stephen Sheridan+232 Reply +Chris Pidek I don't always social media but when I do, it's Google plus.
Albert De Castro+010 Reply I think #Twitter has proof enough that it is here to stay. I actually know more people who prefer using Twitter than #Facebook, and I am one of them.
Chris Pidek+676 Reply +Stephen Sheridan I haven't social media'd until G+, and I'm still enjoying it because it doesn't suck. Also, I'm enjoying your quote.+James Patrick For me, I like it because I don't have to be highly social to enjoy it. I'm typically not very social, so I can sit back and enjoy the interesting posts in What's Hot without having to interact. Or, I can jump into a conversation anytime I want, and type away. And so far, things don't get completely defaced by people being jerks.
James Patrick+232 Reply Totally agree Chris. I've been watching and learning so much from all the interesting posts. So far, I appreciate the fact that it seems so much more secure than Facebook.
Lion Fisile+232 Reply Twitter eh? I get tweet alerts from corporations that I follow only because I set them up for alerts. Among them is MASHABLE. But take that away, I'm left with an OUTDATED form of social interaction. Who needs twitter when you can have Google+?If all the Corporations are here on Google+ instead of just sending their interns here to represent them, I'm almost positive Twitter will become a GHOST-TOWN. Twitter lacks the fun of commenting on stuff....it lacks the sustained interest that G+ gives you.
Curt Arbtin+010 Reply Prediction: the next big thing in SM will be how to determine real users from automated spew.
Niall Farrell+010 Reply Twiiter great for the news 1st,dont tweet at all but follow a few for football scores etc,downside is its full of people promoting blogs and such.. Never used FB but a fan of Google+...
Frank Clark+010 Reply "However concisely, it turns out there's plenty to say." Yes, Twitter, like who is in line at the coffee shop, who is taking a dump, the cash in someone's pocket, would-be whimsy, and millions of other useless details that nobody actually cares about... #jadedbyuselessapps
David De Silva+232 Reply I'm concerned that lots of mobile phone manufacturers are now embedding Twitter and Facebook into the core OS of their phones, instead of using external apps and plug-ins. Imagine how stupid you'd feel today if you had a phone with an 'Upload to Myspace' menu option you couldn't get rid of...
Michael Moser+010 Reply I think the fact that people tend and like to still make jokes about myspace, points right to the fact, that those people are still nostalgic about myspace, but don't want to say be straight about it.I for myself would love to see myspacy back and facebook fade away for good. Actually that's what is gonna happen, eventually.
David De Silva+121 Reply I wasn't trying to be funny about Myspace, only using it as an example of a service that was once 'a big thing' and now has fallen out of favour. The same could easily happen with Twitter. We're a fickle bunch!
Adam Moreland+121 Reply Twitter is a pulse, and people have a tendency to follow those trends. In the case of FB, it attracted tonnes and is maintaining that growth due to the way it works - it is multi-feed. Twitter offers 'snippets' for busy people. I don't see the trend for Twitter lasting, as +David De Silva mentioned - G+, FB, and others are catching up with the 'one liner' and 'news feed' style. As for MySpace...i even think i still got an account along with Windows Live Messenger!?
Michael Moser+010 Reply Here we go, the next one jumping in on myspace.. People still talk about it (a lot!). This is interesting to me. I think myspace will survive, while facebook will sink into complete oblivion when the hype is gone.
Paul Williams+010 Reply Aren't these guys supposed to tell us when they post a paid advertisement? Never tweeted, never will.
Gareth Owen+010 Reply Since Twitter declared it was going to sell the last 2 years of everybody's tweets to 'interested' companies, I quit!!
Levi Ramsey+010 Reply So Google+ has, within a year of launch, about two-thirds the users of Twitter?

will it go away?
I heard belly bands help like the belly bandit
There are also exercises that help and some that don't. While pregnant a separation occurred between your abdominal muscles which caused that pooch and crunches could worsen the gap so make sure you do your research on proper exercises.
Nothing goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast.
Have hope. My stomach went completely back to normal after about a month.
I had a c-section so I looked about 6 months pregnant for about a month until the swelling went away completely. I didn't lose weight until I stopped lactating (I was exclusively pumping until 3 months). In the past 2 months I've shed all my pregnancy weight and then some. My stomach still has a 'pooch' (but that's from the c-section) and some loose skin, but it's nothing major and if I exercise I'm sure it'll go away.
Do not worry, your stomach will go back to the way it was! Just eat healthy, stay relatively active and breastfeed.

i did nothing but breastfeed. and i still am. and im smaller then i was before i got pregnant. that jello feeling went away in after a few weeks for me.
I did nothing and i was back to the way i looked by a few days.
Come join some fantastic July 2013 mommas on FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/603987332964501/
I literally cried when i saw myself in the mirror after giving birth, i was so upset and was like "welp this aint going anywhere anytime soon"
but it does, dieting and excersise will do the trick, it took a couple months but now its gone :)
It does go away! I was horrified after I had my first lol it was so bad. Give it a few weeks. After I had my third I swear I looked 5 months pregnant for 2 months. I didn't leave the house because I didn't want people asking when I was due lol but LO is 13 months now and I am smaller than I was when I got pregnant with him.

text: SHORT EXPLANATION OF COVERAGES AVAILABLE FOR SWIMMING CANADA REGIONS, ASSOCIATIONS AND CLUBS Like last year, we are providing the following details for your easy reference. Note that the rates/coverages have not changed for the new term. These coverages are available to all regions and registered clubs, described hereinafter as "Insured" and/or "Organization". PROPERTY INSURANCE (SECTION A): This section provides coverage against "All Risks" of direct physical damage to the Insured's property. This would include office furniture, audio and/or video equipment, or any other property belonging to the Insured. Coverage includes loss from fire and/or theft subject to a $250.00 deductible in accordance with the conditions of the master policy filed with Swimming Canada. Also included is coverage for equipment (owned by the Organization) which has been temporarily removed from the office by a responsible person to work on the Organization's business. Replacement cost coverage is available to all Insureds, however, you must send us a schedule of insured items and their replacement values. NEW INFORMATION: If you own property that is located outside of your mailing location, please let us know. We will require a list of property along with the replacement values per location (complete address). NEW INFORMATION: It is important to note that property that is borrowed or leased is not automatically covered under this program. If you rent or borrow equipment from a third party, it is important to submit a list of the property as well as the replacement values and provide the name of the entity to whom this property belongs. BFL will then contact you to advise you of the additional premium payable. You can send this information to firstname.lastname@example.com EXTRA EXPENSE (SECTION B): If the location where you operate is damaged due to an insured loss, it would mean more than likely that you will be obliged to continue your business at another location which would create extra expenses for your organization. Such expenses would be things such as renting space, installation of a phone system, etc. This insurance would cover these types of expenses that are over and above your normal monthly costs. VALUABLE PAPERS (SECTION C): This is an ''all risk'' coverage that covers costs for research in order to reconstruct damaged records that were damaged as well as the replacement costs of paper and transcription. The term ''valuable papers'' applies to documents that were written, printed or inscribed such as books, maps, films, drawings, abstracts, mortgages and manuscripts. DISHONESTY INSURANCE (SECTION D): This section provides coverage for Organizations who may fall victim to their funds being stolen by an employee or volunteer, who is part of the Organization and who may have access to the Organization's funds. MONEY & SECURITIES (BROAD FORM) (SECTION E): Organizations, such as yours, have access to moneys collected from members or through fund raising events. This money can be insured against a hold-up or a break-in at the home of the custodian. This coverage can be very important, as it is not always possible to make bank deposits immediately following a fundraiser and such a loss could have a serious effect on Organization's operations. This form provides coverage against money & securities on a 24-hour basis against the perils of theft, burglary, hold-up and fire. ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING (SECTION F): This coverage applies to the Organization's computer, software and data and includes the extra expenses to reconstitute lost information as a result of a covered loss. The coverage has been extended to cover computer equipment while temporarily removed from the office by a responsible person of the Organization to work on the Organization's business. The deductible applicable to this coverage is $250.00. PARTICIPANTS ACCIDENT INSURANCE (SECTION G): This coverage is provided by Axa Insurance Company to all registered members of Swimming Canada. Coverage can be obtained for the Organization's *auxiliary workers. The coverages are the same as the coverages provided to all registered members. * Definition of Auxiliary Worker: A volunteer who provides services to a club on an occasional basis only. Example: Club annual events or other specific short term project. LEGAL EXPENSE INSURANCE - FOR NON-PROFIT ENTITIES ONLY (SECTION H): This insurance provides telephone legal assistance. A toll free number will give you access to a team of lawyers specializing in preventive law. If a legal issue should arise, you may obtain legal advice at no charge. The number of calls you are entitled to make is unlimited. In cases where you require more direct legal involvement, this insurance will provide you with financial assistance to find an amicable or judicial solution to legal disputes. This insurance covers only legal fees or judicial costs and does not provide coverage for damage. The policy limit is $5,000 per claim with an annual limit of $10,000. You must contact the Insurer before you appoint a lawyer to represent you. The annual premium is based on your Organization's Gross Revenues as per the rate structure on FORM A. PLEASE BE CERTAIN TO INDICATE ALL COVERAGES YOU WISH TO PURCHASE ON THE BFL APPLICATION FORM.

The so-called fiscal cliff was a noted concern when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met in April according to minutes released in May. Expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, the payroll tax cuts, and $1 trillion in spending cuts is scheduled to occur January 1 of 2013. The concern is that the combination of these fiscal elements could throw the economy back into recession.
This Website Is For Financial Professionals Only
The fiscal cliff scenario plays right into concerns about the budget. If a budget agreement doesn't happen before the current laws expire, money could suddenly become tighter. That could start a domino effect that could derail the creation of new jobs, severely affecting the employment picture.
The Fed seems to be less than confident of its projections for future growth, primarily because recent predictions have not been confirmed by economic data. Although the Fed feels the recovery is continuing, the pace is slow and there are enough disappointing reports to keep investors cautious and the Fed on guard.

Buying the Brooklyn Bridge?
The old adage is about fraud. Anyone defrauding another is STEALING and ought to be in jail. Banks perpetrate fraud with just about everything they do including issuing/lending CREDIT as though it were MONEY. This is counterfeiting, bait and switch, fraud.
The Steps of Common Fraud:
Step 1: Fraud in the Inducement: "… is intended to and which does cause one to execute an instrument, or make an agreement… The misrepresentation involved does not mislead one as the paper he signs but rather misleads as to the true facts of a situation, and the false impression it causes is a basis of a decision to sign or render a judgment". Source: Steven H. Gifis, 'Law Dictionary', 5th Edition, Hauppauge: Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 2003, s.v.: 'Fraud'.
Step 2: Fraud in Fact by Deceit (Obfuscation and Denial) and Theft:
• "ACTUAL FRAUD. Deceit. Concealing something or making a false representation with an evil intent [scanter] when it causes injury to another…". Source: Steven H. Gifis, 'Law Dictionary', 5th Edition, Happauge: Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 2003, s.v.: 'Fraud'.
• "THE TORT OF FRAUDULENT DECEIT… The elements of actionable deceit are: A false representation of a material fact made with knowledge of its falsity, or recklessly, or without reasonable grounds for believing its truth, and with intent to induce reliance thereon, on which plaintiff justifiably relies on his injury…". Source: Steven H. Gifis, 'Law Dictionary', 5th Edition, Happauge: Barron's Educational Series, Inc., 2003, s.v.: 'Deceit'.
Step 3: Theft by Deception and Fraudulent Conveyance:
• "FRAUDULENT CONCEALMENT… The hiding or suppression of a material fact or circumstance which the party is legally or morally bound to disclose…".
• "The test of whether failure to disclose material facts constitutes fraud is the existence of a duty, legal or equitable, arising from the relation of the parties: failure to disclose a material fact with intent to mislead or defraud under such circumstances being equivalent to an actual 'fraudulent concealment'…".
• To suspend running of limitations, it means the employment of artifice, planned to prevent inquiry or escape investigation and mislead or hinder acquirement of information disclosing a right of action, and acts relied on must be of an affirmative character and fraudulent…".
Source: Black, Henry Campbell, M.A., 'Black's Law Dictionary', Revised 4th Edition, St Paul: West Publishing Company, 1968, s.v. 'Fraudulent Concealment'.
• "FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCE… A conveyance or transfer of property, the object of which is to defraud a creditor, or hinder or delay him, or to put such property beyond his reach…".
• "Conveyance made with intent to avoid some duty or debt due by or incumbent or person (entity) making transfer…".

Well, I think my nightmare computer week is over, thank goodness. That fourth trip to The Apple Store seems to have done the trick. I didn't have time to catch up today, though, because Jamie and I had to make our trip to NJ to see our Lyme doctor. Thank goodness he drives the whole way now - I was really worn out today. The kids had an easy time convincing me to dump my dinner plans and get take-out burgers and fries tonight!
After days filled with stressful computer problems and snow days, we spent our evenings escaping reality with some movies this weekend
