In July 2007, the IRS released final regulations under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The regulations are effective January 1, 2009. Congregations and schools need to be aware that the new regulations require employers monitor certain aspects of the 403(b) arrangements in which their employees participate or to which they contribute on behalf of their employees.
A Code section 403(b) arrangement is a retirement savings vehicle that is available to employees of tax-exempt organizations. The most common forms of Code section 403(b) arrangements may be referred to as "tax-sheltered annuities" ("TSAs"), "tax-deferred annuities" ("TDAs"), or "403(b)(7) accounts."
The following are some of the key provisions in the new regulations.
The new regulations generally require that an employer have a written plan document for a 403(b) program. WELS churches, elementary schools, and secondary schools are exempt from this "written plan" requirement unless they maintain a relatively unusual 403(b) arrangement known as a "retirement income account" or "403(b)(9) plan." While there is no "written" plan requirement in the July, 2007 regulations for "church organizations", there remain employer fiduciary responsibilities in the guidelines on how the funds are to be invested, vesting requirements, universal availability, and provisions that indicate whether or not loans and hardship withdrawals are permitted.
WELS has partnered with AUL a OneAmerica to customize a 403(b) solution for synodical and member organizations known as the Shepherd Plan Solution (SPS). Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Synod are providing their respective member organizations an alternative to having "standalone employer-administered 403(b) plans. Under this solution, known as the Shepherd Plan Solution (SPS), WELS and ELS organizations will have their own plan documents, but share a common investment platform, administrative services provider, and financial consulting services group. Discounts available from cumulative invested dollars will be tracked as if all WELS and ELS organizations were operating under one master plan.
No WELS or ELS organization is required to have a plan under SPS, but would have SPS as a viable option to maintaining a separate employer-administered 403(b). Through economies of scale there would be lower overall costs to participants in SPS family of plans than having a stand-alone plan. Further, a group plan such as SPS will assist each member plan in meeting its fiduciary responsibility under the 403(b) regulations by having a disinterested third party administrator ensuring all regulations are being properly interpreted and followed.
AUL a OneAmerica, the 403(b) provider of choice, provides an extensive investment platform in the Plan's "bundled" concept that teams up their platform of investments to GoldLeaf Partners and the Hahn Financial Group, Inc. Goldleaf Partners, a national retirement consulting and administrative firm will provide recordkeeping, administration and consulting services for 403(b) arrangements coming under the Shepherd Plan Solution. In addition the Hahn Financial Group, Inc. headquartered in Sioux Falls, SD has been selected to be the advisory firm for the arrangement and will utilize AUL OneAmerica's 403(b) platform.
GoldLeaf Partners will develop plan documents for each WELS and ELS "employer" organization that elects to participate in the Plan.
Employers will fit into the following categories:
Employees and called workers throughout WELS and ELS who participate in their employer's SPS plan will be able to maintain their accounts when relocating to another WELS or ELS organization that also maintain a plan under SPS. GoldLeaf Partners will work with the employee to assure smooth transition to another member plan or work with the calling body on establishing a new plan under SPS.
Goldleaf Partners is a leading retirement consulting and administration firm that provides audit, sales support, administrative and educational services to a national client base. Goldleaf Partners supports institutional clients and advisors developing and maintaining effective plan design and retirement sales strategies.

The Group of Ministers considering caste enumeration in Census 2011 will write to all political parties asking them to suggest the methodology through which the headcount should be done.
The GoM, which met on Thursday evening, bought some time by deciding on this course, following objections by the Opposition parties to the recommendation it had made at its August 11 meeting to embark on caste enumeration at the biometric stage. These parties wanted the headcount done at the second stage of the census.
On August 12, OBC MPs belonging to the Samajwadi Party, the Janata Dal (United), the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party raised their objections in the Lok Sabha. Later, they met Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee and Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram and told them that taking up the caste census at the biometric stage would defeat the purpose as it would be a long-drawn process.
Responding to the MPs' allegations that the government was trying to fool them, Mr. Mukherjee said the modalities of caste enumeration had not been decided. He said the GoM had agreed to go ahead with the headcount but the decision on "how and when" would be taken by the Cabinet.

This model has been derived and calibrated based on site structural condition monitoring (SCM) data and supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) data for two operational wind turbine generator substructures afflicted with this challenge, along with experimentally derived wear rates.

These are gravel filled trenches fitted with a porous carrier pipe at the base that convey surface and sub-surface water to an outfall. HFD are typically characterized as free draining upon construction however, over time the voids of the granular medium become filled due to the intrusion of fines washed from the adjacent earthworks or pavement surface. The lack of understanding of the deterioration mechanisms and the absence of a structured fouling characterization limit the assessment of operational and residual HFD life to qualitative or subjective estimation of in-service performance. This extends to maintenance procedures that are predominately reactive. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of HFD performance and drainage media condition assessment. It then presents a method of fouling characterization based on assessment of samples from in service drains. Three fouling scales are thus suggested; the percentage drain fouling, the foulant-aggregate ratio and the free voids ratio. In-service HFD are found to be functioning at an acceptable standard with a limited number of localized failures attributed to highly fouled layers at the surface of the trench. It is proposed that a rational evaluation of a HFD section should employ means other than just visual indicators. The fouling assessment is linked to laboratory permeability tests conducted with different levels of filter material fouling. It is found that the extent, spreading and type of fouling are important to determine how the filter aggregate performs. Description: This is a conference paper.

Abstract: This paper is part of on-going research that is investigating the potential of a practice theory perspective to understanding stakeholder evaluation of hospital design. Practice theory offers numerous affordances, especially to researchers and practitioners who seek alternatives to the problematic assumed universality of other 'traditional' theoretical perspectives. However there are several disagreements left unresolved in the literature about practice theory methodology that risk compromising its full potential. Drawing on Schatzki's notion of site ontology and illustrated by an on-going ethnographic study of the practice of evaluating the design of a major UK National Health Service (NHS) hospital, this paper seeks to contribute to resolving such disagreements by developing a strategy that generates a methodology for use with practice theory. The strategy is based on the premise of ontological salience and phenomenological congruence. Arguments for the mobilisation of a pluralistic portfolio of methodologies, methods and the synthesis of a pair of analytical devices ('design evaluation as practice' and 'design evaluation in practice') that emerged from the application of the strategy are explored. Dialogical reflexivity is foregrounded as a further and essential part of the strategy. The paper elucidates and enhances both the praxis and practices stimulated by current approaches to design evaluation. It raises important implications for the future development of UK Government policy to substantively improve the design quality of NHS healthcare building sand, in turn, improve patient healthcare outcomes.

Abstract: The performance of contractors is known to be a key determinant of client satisfaction. Here, clients' satisfaction is defined in several dimensions identified using factor analysis techniques. Based on clients' assessment of contractor performance, a number of satisfaction models are presented, developed using multiple regression (MR) and artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. The MR models identified that various attributes of the contractor, project and client were found to significantly influence satisfaction levels. Results of the ANN modelling were similar, however the importance of independent variables was found to be different. The models demonstrate accurate and reliable predictive power as confirmed by validation tests. While the MR models tend to be more accurate for specific dimensions of client satisfaction, the ANN models were found to be superior for models of average satisfaction and overall satisfaction. The MR models suggest that contractors have more effect on client satisfaction than the ANN models. Contractors could use the models to help improve their performance leading to more satisfied clients. This will also promote the development of harmonious working relationships within the construction project coalition. Description: This is a conference paper.

Appartement très bien situé à 100 m de la 24e Street, rue pleine de charme. L'appartement est très propre et très bien équipé (lave vaisselle, baignoire, micro ondes etc). Grace et Steve étaient très réactifs à nos quelques demandes. Très très bon rapport qualité prix.
Grace and Steve have the arrival process, accommodation and essential amenities (including those you never thought of) worked out perfectly.
The apartment is very clean and organised. You feel immediately at home.
Parking and a very fast internet connection is a great bonus.
The proximity to Castro and Mission is great for walking around, great food, drinks and plenty of amazing photo opportunities.
We would certainly stay again.
Grace and Steve's one bedroom is very spacious and clean. The location is close to everything in SF. There was also a small market across the street. You can take lyft/uber to downtown for less than $15. They were also very responsive hosts and welcoming. I would definitely come back here next time.
Gracie and Steve's place was a cute little one bedroom which was exactly as appeared in the photos. It was comfortable, clean and in a great location. Steve was very responsive and helpful. I stayed there for nearly a week while in town on business. It was perfect for me. The parking spot is very handy and easy to deal with. I would definitely stay there again when I'm next in the city.
We just spent two nights in Grace and Steve's apartment and found it most comfortable. The apartment was well appointed and the ability to park our car in the driveway was great, given the parking restrictions in the neighborhood. The " convenience " store across the street was a real plus, with food and wine/liquor selections well above average- we joked that we could have spent the whole weekend in the apartment, provisioned by the store. The apartment was two blocks, admittedly steep, from the commercial center of Noe Valley. We took the bus ( bring dollar bills and change ). All in all, a good experience, meeting or exceeding expectations!
We are young professionals working in downtown SF and living happily in Noe--a sunny valley in the heart of the world's most beautiful city San Francisco.

If you paid any attention to the teasers and trailers that Top Gear has been putting out for this new season, this is the episode that you have been waiting for. The new C7 Corvette is getting the full Top Gear review treatment.
While this is by no means an official tally, the general consensus is clear — most folks aren't parting with their new Corvette C7 any time soon.
When I told a friend I was going to do a rundown of my favorite Arctic White C7s, his response was, "What color don't you like the C7 in?" My response was, aside from my obsession with black on black, I pretty much like 'em all.
Just how much faster is a McLaren P1 than a C7 Corvette Z06? As this video demonstrates, it's in another league.
Any time you get a chance to stop by any auto show booth with the name Lingenfelter attached to it, you know it's going to be a good day.

Sip and Sleuth: Detect Beer Off Flavors at Foothills Brewing April 13 2015
Monday, April 13, 2015 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Any notes of butter or bananas? Wet basement or pennies? Does the beer taste leathery or stale, oily or rancid? Buttery notes are called diacetyl, banana is isoamyl acetate, wet basement is musty and pennies is metallic. There are 32 different off flavors. These off flavors may be common in beer but when present imply something went wrong in the brewing or stoarge of the beer. This event will make you a more sophisticated beer drinker while having fun. Trained beer tasters will lead you and your friends through 24 different flavors. You will also taste 5 different Foothills Beers and together, with your brewing expert, describe the flavors and aromas in each.
The format of this event is seated. You will not be moving from table to table like other Geeks-N-Taps events. The seating is limited.

Strange Cargo! An Evening of Barrel Aged Beers April 22 2015
Big Boss Brewing is offering a unique showcase of beers for North Carolina Beer month! A one night opportunity to sample several of our Strange Cargo series, barrel aged beers in one place. Bourbon, wine, tequila and brandy barrel aged brews from the wall of oak barrels and the first offering from our foudres. A low ticket price of $15 will give you access to this event with many of these beers being final offerings at the brewery.
Since releasing our first sour ale in 2009 the popularity of the style has soared. We slowly built up our barrel inventory and secured two Italian made oak foudres. Strange Cargo represents the brand family of Big Boss wood aged beers! One of the featured beers will be Saints & Sinners: Aged in oak foeders for six months, S&S is a Flanders inspired ale that captures a refreshing fruit and oak qualities of the vessel. Brewed with corn from Yates Mill, one of the oldest working stone mills in the country (established around 1756) is right here in Raleigh.
Event will be held at:

Stinky Genes - Does your DNA impact your taste in beer at Flytrap Brewing April 26 2015
Ever wonder why some people love IPAs and other people hate them? Our genes or DNA influence what we can smell and taste. Join local scientists and find out if you can taste bitter compounds, smell aromas found in beer, how many taste buds you have and isolate DNA from strawberries. Take a flavor trip where lemons taste like lemonade and cream cheese tastes like cheese cake. Meet Flytrap's brewer and learn all about how they create novel flavors in their small batch brews. The format is like speed dating where you move from table to table and engage in activities and conversation with scientists and other patrons all while drinking beer. This event is more about science and is not a beer festival. Each ticket includes 5 tastings of Flytrap's great brews.
There are two entry times and admission for each is limited to minimize lines for activities. The first entry time is at 1:00 pm and the second is at 3:00 pm. You do not need to arrive exactly at the entry time because you will be moving from table to table at your own pace. You can come anytime and have a beer at the bar and stay as late as you like.

Artists from the African Diaspora have made glorious contributions to global culture and the humanities for several generations. Neil Hall, producer and director of the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair, defies anyone to challenge that truth.
"We were born artists. We are a continent and a diaspora filled with artists," Hall said. "Even our own people don't always appreciate our contributions. We must change that that. "
Hall, an art connoisseur, was not satisfied with the way other local art festivals omitted the diversity and beauty of contributions by artists from the diaspora. He contends those omitted pieces are "more than worthy."
Not one to sit on his hands, Hall did something about it.
"Last year, we created our own gallery. The Art Africa Miami Arts Fair returns this year and we have an open call for entry around the world," he said. The event is scheduled for Dec. 5-9 during Art Basel Miami Beach week.
Art Africa Miami Arts Fair is sponsored by the Urban Collective and the City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency. It is a juried multidisciplinary exhibition of fine contemporary art from the global African Diaspora, situated in the epicenter of Miami's African-American cultural hub, Historic Overtown. The central idea of Art Africa Miami is to present an array of visual works that pay homage to the centrality of Africa and its descendant diaspora's artistic contribution to the modern world.

Glasslands Gallery

Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 8:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
"..Williamsburg, Brooklyn's Dead Stars, play melodic alt-rock and shoegaze straight from the early-'90s—think Teenage Fanclub, Pavement, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur, Jr. Which means lots of hefty, hummable melodies and even more fuzz tones.." - FUSE.TV
"..glorious, guitar-driven slacker-rock.." - MTV HIVE
"..Epic swathes of crumpled guitar brilliance.." - MOJOPHENIA
"...Dead Stars have some immediately familiar sounds even on the first listen—Pixies' loud-soft-loud trademark, Built to Spill, Pavement and Hum when they decide to unleash the wall of guitars. Anyone claiming to be a fan of those bands should get this album today..."
"You can learn a lot about the Hairs through main-man(e) Kevin Alvir's chosen song titles: There's the gender-bent 'Jack Becomes A Policewoman,' a new single with a name posing the same sort of pithy illustrative twist as the previously posted 'Balding College Girls.' Titles to catch you off guard, quick twisters to pair with the fun, blunt quirk of a track (title) like 'Duh x 12!' So that's the Hairs, then, in a name or three: clever and twisty in melody and buried guitar lines, simple and immediate in fuzz, and pulse, and its ostensibly slapdash home-recorded vibe."-Stereogum
Formed in Brooklyn during the Winter of 2012, The Teen Age plays a mix of 70's punk and indie garage. Their song "Evil" was recorded at the new Silent Barn in Bushwick, BK and was produced by members of the group Ava Luna. Humming with youthful defiance and grounded in psych, the track serves as an exciting precursor to a debut EP currently in the works.

A Mystery of Locks and Keys
Our ad says, Judgment and Justice: Security Consultants. I'm Justice, security expert. My partner, Judgment, is a detective. Together, we unravel mysteries and basically make sure that masked phantom thieves doesn't run off with the Mystic Jewels of Whatever. I guess you could think of me as a Watson to Judgment's Holmes, or something like that. It's not always an easy job… let me tell you about a particularly tricky case.
It happened – as this kind of case always ought to happen – in an isolated place. Keeps the suspect list limited. It was Castle Dauntless, a medieval stronghold high in the mountains of Freedonia, home of the Scarlet Idol of Veritas. They were holding a big shindig on Saturday night, and wanted us to check out their security and make sure nothing went wrong.
I think they're going to want their money back.
"In case you're wondering," said Ocean, "any sentence in that story that is in black – in short, the narration – is guaranteed to be literally true. It's as good as Red Truth."
"I'll even confirm it in Red for you," said THALASSA. "Just to be polite."
Here, the narrator's words are equivalent to Red Truth.
"And you shouldn't need – nor rely upon - any outside information whatsoever:"
This mystery can be solved using solely the information provided by the narration and the characters within it. Truths discovered in this tale should not be assumed to hold anywhere else.
"Let us continue," smiled THALASSA.
Judgment and I arrived at the Castle at noon on the day of the gala. The proprietor of the Castle, the Queen of Swords, was there to greet us as we got in. It was a drafty old place, but the chamber where the Idol was being kept seemed fairly secure – one door, one window two stories up, and a sturdy lock.
"Hmm. Some old castles have secret passages in 'em," I said.
"Yes… I've heard of escape tunnels and 'priest holes,'" added my partner. "I hope we won't have to worry about that."
"There aren't any secret passages in Castle Dauntless," replied the Queen, laughing. "And thank goodness for that. Can you imagine what the servants would get up to?"
"Speaking of the staff," said Justice, "do you trust them? How many are there?"
"There are seven, not including myself," said the Queen. "Two of whom normally handle security, but who are willing to let you take command of that for tonight. I trust them all. None of the seven staff members would ever steal from the Castle, and none of them would ever knowingly assist someone in doing so. I'm afraid that I can't say the same for the eight guests who will be arriving shortly…"
"Time out," said SHIN. "What's this purple text all about?"
"The purple text is testimony," said THALASSA. "The narrator's words in black must be true, but the same can't be said of testimony."
"A thief," explained Ocean, steepling her fingers, "is unlikely to always be forthright, no?"
SHIN sighed. "Idol's gonna get stolen? What a surprise."
THALASSA ignored this. "Allow me to confirm a few rules in red:"
When someone who is not a culprit makes a statement in purple, that statement is equivalent to Red Truth. Only a culprit can lie in purple!
A culprit is defined here as someone who stole the Idol or deliberately aided a culprit, with the intent of sharing the profits later.
There are fewer than four culprits.
The Detective is not a culprit.
Saturday, 12:44 PM.
Nine of Swords, one of the security staff, had given us the keys to our rooms on big iron keyrings, and we unpacked our bags. I was in the Firefly Room on the second floor. Judgment was in the Wagstaff Room, third floor. After we got unpacked, we met up in the Security room, a modified cell on the first floor, near the entrance, that'd been rigged full of electronics and video feeds. Inside, Nine of Swords and Ten of Swords were waiting.
"Hope y'all are getting settled in okay!" said Nine of Swords.
"Afternoon," said Ten of Swords, the other security guard. "Very sorry I couldn't meet you earlier; I was seeing to the alarms."
"Don't worry. We're comfortable," said Judgment, shrugging and then changing the subject. "I noticed that these keyrings are rather old-fashioned. It's hard to open or close them, isn't it?"
"That's right!" said Nine of Swords. "There's no way to put keys on or take them off without a unique wrench, which is in that key cabinet." He pointed to a cabinet of keys behind him, and to a ring on his belt. "In there, we've got all the keys to this Castle, except the ones I've passed out already, and I'm the only one with a key to open it."
"I see," said Judgment. "Ms. Ten, can you please tell us a little about the alarm system?"
"We've got alarms on all the outside doors and on the glass case holding the Idol. They can be turned on or off from this panel here, using this key." She held up her keyring and pointed to a nondescript steel key. "There aren't any other keys or panels for the alarms. We've also got cameras in many of the rooms – none of the bedrooms, of course." A row of monitors over her head displayed jittery live feeds of the room with the idol, the grand hall, the banquet hall, the entryway, the exit to the back garden, and the kitchen. All were hooked up to a bank of digital recorders.
"Good," I said. "What else can you tell me about the security here?"
"Every key opens only one door," said Nine of Swords. "Except for two Master Keys, which opens any door but the Security Room and the Key Cabinet, the Outside Door Key, which opens all the outside doors, and of course the Alarm Key, which only turns the alarm on or off. I have one Master Key, and Queen of Swords has the other. Besides that, we try to make it so that people can only open the doors they need to open." I nodded.
"Since you're taking over for us tonight," said Ten of Swords, sounding a little relieved that she wouldn't have to mess about with the stress of organizing security for a party, "We'd better give you our Alarm and Master Keys."
Grunting and nodding, Nine produced his keyring and unlocked the key cabinet. Inside, eight keyrings remained hanging in place, each labeled with a piece of white tape bearing a name. Next to them, a wrench hung. Taking the keyrings from Judgment, Ten, and me, he carefully unfastened them – a non-trivial process – and moved the Alarm key from Ten's keyring onto mine, and the Master Key from his own keyring onto Judgment's. He then noted the change in the Key Log, a sheet of paper with notes transcribed in indelible ink, put the key to the key cabinet on Judgment's keyring, and locked the wrench back inside the key cabinet.
During the whole process, I noticed, Nine was careful not to switch the keys or keyrings. Seeing as they looked totally alike, exceptfor the taped labels, it would've been an easy mistake to make.
"Right now," said Nine, tapping the key log, "the following people have these keys:
KEY LOG, AS OF12:50 (records kept by Nine)
Nine of Swords: Spaulding Room Key
Ten of Swords: Spaulding Room Key
Queen of Swords: Master Key.
Page of Swords: Hackenbush Room Key; Kitchen Key.
Knight of Swords: Driftwood Room Key; Electrical Closet Key.
King of Swords: Driftwood Room Key; Outside Door Key.
Temperance: Hammer Room Key
Strength: Miller Room Key; Kitchen Key.
Judgment: Wagstaff Room Key; Master Key; Key Cabinet Key
Justice: Firefly Room Key; Alarm Key
"Doesn't the Security Room have a key?" asked Judgment.
"Nope, not even the Master Key works on the Security Room," said Nine of Swords. "This keypad opens it." He punched in the combination, 1979, on the keypad just outside the security room door, and it slid open silently. "Right now, only us, the two of you, the Queen, and the Knight of Swords know the combination. Please try to keep it that way."
"Of course," replied Judgment. "Now, before the guests arrive, I believe we have some investigating to do. Thank you for all your help, sirs. Justice, I believe we should…"
Judgment and Justice have three hours until the guests arrive, and may choose to do any of the following:
* Question somebody (30 minutes per person)
* Investigate a location in the Castle (30 minutes per location)
If desired, they can split up to cover more ground.
Please submit your choices; I will step through the actions in the order they are submitted until you run out of time.

There are eight characters to question, so by splitting up they should be able to question them all in two hours and have enough time left to look over four rooms. The rooms appear to be: Spaulding, Hackenbush, kitchen, Driftwood, electrical closet, Hammer, Miller, Wagstaff, Firefly, the security room, the idol room, the grand hall, the banquet hall, the entryway, and the back garden with its exit (I'm not sure if any of the unnamed rooms are the same as one of the named rooms, could a witch clarify this and maybe give a definitive list of what rooms are available to investigate?). With no other information, I'd say that the idol room, security room, electrical closet, and maybe the back garden with its exit would be at the top of my list to investigate. But that might change depending on what people say, so might as well just say the first thing we'll do and adjust based on the outcome.
I'd say Judgment talks to the Page of Swords, and Justice talks to the Knight of Swords, (two characters we haven't seen yet) to get things started, unless anyone has other suggestions.
Edit: just noticed that Flamebirde did make another suggestion. I think we'll probably want to talk to all the characters and investigate the idol room regardless, so I'll go with Flamebirde's suggestion of talking to Nine and investigating the idol room. And just add the step of making sure the alarms are on first.

I would like to point out (as nobody has yet), 1979 was the combination to one of the safes in the Room of Six Locks. We also know from previous Red (not in a duel) that not all of the safes were literal safes.

"Fewer than four culprits" means strictly fewer (i.e. 3 or less)?
"The detective is not a suspect", but what about the security expert/narrator? (sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I'm an Agatha Christie fan )
Edit: At Molly Mae: Aw...that's unfortunate...or do you have the whole storyline figured out already? ;P

Also, do we agree together on actions, or does it work like a witch's duel, where the action/BT is submitted as soon as it is posted.

Romney uses Vogue editor's ad to portray Obama as out of touch
Mitt Romney's campaign is capitalizing on May's dismal jobs report by portraying President Obama as out of touch on the economy and focused more on his own job than finding work for America's unemployed.
Romney and Republicans underlined their message on Monday by seizing on an Obama campaign video featuring Anna Wintour, the well-heeled editor of Vogue and inspiration for "The Devil Wears Prada."
The video of Wintour sporting a silken Obama 2012 scarf and urging supporters to attend a New York fundraiser next week — released the same day as the meager jobs numbers — is at odds with the "economic exasperation" many voters are feeling, said one top Republican advising Romney's campaign.
"The biggest challenge that the president has is trying to talk in very glowing terms about an economy that many people feel is going in the wrong direction already," the Republican said.

I am sure this has been asked and answered a bunch of times, but I am having no luck using search to find the answer.
Is it okay to bottle from my keezer (using Bowie Adapter) and then letting the bottled beer rise to room temperature? I have to believe the answer is "yes" and that it must be common when submitting beers to competitions.
Anyone experience off flavors? Loss of carbonation? Any comments on shelf-life?
Yes you can store the bottles warm. No major issues. Sometimes you might get some settlement after weeks or months. I've bottled beers that have been kegged and cold for months...but those darn yeasties are still there and they still like to work.
I have done this with soda, and it works great despite many naysayers on the forum telling me I'm going to get exploding bottles at that pressure. Nothing has exploded so far.

PM me if you add me.
I hope Froakie is a burglar, it could happen you know, the foam into a sack and jumping to get away, you know that sort of thing.
Wally was your rival in Gen 3
Bianca was the first and only current female Rival we have had
"Fear is Freedom!
Subjugation is Liberation!
Contradiction is Truth!
These are the truths of the world! Surrender to these truths, you pigs in human clothing!"
You battle Brendan/May more often than you battle Wally, and Brendan/May received the stronger starter.
They're both rivals, in a way.
I'm predicting (considering the fighting/psychic/dark combo) :
Chespin: Hp/Attack/Defense/
Fennekin: Sp. Att./ Sp. Def
Froakie: Attack/Sp. Attack/Speed
Chespin with his shell could be defensive and probably also the bulky one (something between Sandslash and Torterra imo) with a good attack for fighting. Quite sure It will be the slower with a good defense against flying.
Fennekin with those two special types will have good special stats (if not it's a shame). I mean if a fire/psychic pokemon does not have good sp. att. and def. is unuseful..
Froakie has two special types too but Dark usually has more physical attacks than psychic so I think It would have a good attack too. Maybe it will be the one with less HP
I don't think we'll have an all defensive starter this time. We had three [Blastoise (1), Meganium (2), Serperior (5)] on five generations.. It is also true that ther's never been a full defensive fire starter, it could be this time (I doubt).
I MM'd a shiny shinx only 39 eggs, no shiny charm/o power! 3/9/2015

Now, thanks to the creativity of 3D artist Raoni Nery from Brazil, we have something a little bit more realistic to look up to.
Nick Vujicic is an extraordinary individual. He was born with no arms and no legs, and now as an adult speaks to young children, adolescents and adults about his life with "no limbs," and "no limits."
Maybe I'm the last person on earth to see Nick's inspiring video, as it has over 30 million views on YouTube. But if you haven't seen it either, take a look after the break.

FSKShort for frequency-shift keying, a modulation technique used by modems in which two different frequencies in the carrier signal are used to represent the binary states of 0 and 1. Using FSK, a modem converts the binary data from a computer into a binary form in which logic 1 is represented by an analog waveform at a specific frequency and logic 0 is represented by a wave at a different specific frequency.
