MIDDLESEX — Vermont Companion Animal Neutering is urging cat owners to "beat the heat" by spaying their female cats in advance of their heat cycles to prevent unwanted litters from being born this Spring.
According to a statement released by the nonprofit organization, animal shelters commonly refer to springtime as "kitten season" because that's when they receive the largest influx of unwanted litters.
During the entire month of February, the organization will spay female cats — or neuter male cats — for a special rate of $20 for all Vermont cat owners. Cat owners who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the "Beat the Heat" promotion when they schedule their appointment at the organization's clinic in Middlesex.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, call 223-0034, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or go online to www.vt-can.org.MORE IN This Just InJOHNSON Authorities believe a drivers use of a handheld cellphone played a factor in a...

American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® (AACD)
AACD General Session Speakers to Focus on Involvement, Opportunity
MADISON, Wis. (2/22/11)—Attendees of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry's annual scientific sessions have come to expect memorable and unique general session speakers. This year's session, slated for May 18-21 in Boston, is no exception.
The AACD has solicited feedback from attendees and knows the three things attendees want in their keynote speakers: education, motivation, and entertainment. This year's lineup will deliver on those three—and more.
The AACD will kick off the conference with Peter Sheahan, author of "Fl!p". Sheahan, CEO of the Centre for Skills Development, has spent a decade teaching businesses how to flip their thinking. Real money is made in the cracks, according to Sheahan, and the opportunity for mind-blowing success is all around. The problem is that humans are conditioned by their experience, blinded by business models, and conned by popular media to believe that success is a product of economic conditions. Sheahan's clients include Newscorp, Google, Hilton Hotels, GlaxoSmithKline, Harley Davidson, Cisco, and Goldman Sachs, many of which engage him on an ongoing basis to provoke their leaders to re-think their assumptions and challenge them to find innovative ways of doing business.
Photographer Joel Meyerowitz, creator of The World Trade Center Archive, will continue Sheahan's momentum with his presentation, which will inspire attendees to get more involved. Meyerowitz is internationally renowned for his pioneering work in color photography and his view camera artistry. A Guggenheim Fellow and an NEA and NEH award-winner, Meyerowitz was the only photographer to gain unlimited access to Ground Zero after 9/11. In his presentations, he conveys his intense belief in the transformational power of art.
He reaches beyond photography into the fields of architecture and urban planning, political science, communications, art history, psychology and the meaning of monuments, inspiring audiences to become more involved in their communities and the world at large.
A third general session surprise performance will provide a unique twist on inspiring attendees through fun and entertainment. You've got to be there.
The Scientific Session will take place May 18-21, 2011, in Boston at the Hynes Convention Center. For more information, visit www.aacdconference.com.
About the AACD
The AACD is the world's largest non-profit member organization dedicated to advancing excellence in comprehensive oral care that combines art and science to optimally improve dental health, esthetics, and function. Comprised of more than 6,300 cosmetic dental professionals in 70 countries worldwide, the AACD fulfills its mission by offering superior educational opportunities, promoting and supporting a respected Accreditation credential, serving as a user-friendly and inviting forum for the creative exchange of knowledge and ideas, and providing accurate and useful information to the public and the profession.

The dual positive drive trapezoidal tooth profile synchronous belt has a 0.200" pitch, an extra-light XL profile, is built by Goodyear Engineered Products, and is suitable for drive applications where reverse rotation drive shaft synchronization in a compact space is required, such as in machine tools, fans, and pumps. The belt has trapezoidal teeth on both sides and is used in drives that require synchronous transmission from one or both sides of the belt, or rotation direction changes. It has fiberglass tension cords that add synthetic reinforcement, increasing tensile strength and resistance to shrinkage and elongation. The molded-rubber compounded construction adds flexibility, extending the life of the belt, and it is oil, heat, ozone, and abrasion resistant. Designed to drop into exciting trapezoidal-profiled sprockets, the positive drive belt is compatible across multiple drive configurations.
Synchronous belts (also known as timing belts) have teeth on the underside of the belt that join with the grooves in a rotating pulley to transmit power at a constant speed without slippage. They are made of compounded rubber and are reinforced lengthwise with fiberglass cords for added strength. The belts require minimal re-tensioning and maintenance, no lubrication, and provide quiet operation. Synchronous belts are used in industrial applications such as farm, textile, mining, and printing machinery, and consumer applications such as office equipment, home appliances, and automobiles.

Hey, I would you like to point to you a comment from one of the guy that seems to be from the raspbery pi foundation in response to Luc Verhaegen:
"We happen to have a GPU which exposes a comparatively high level (GL-like) interface, such that many of our userland functions are message passing shims. You are dealing with a GPU which exposes a lower-level interface, so LIMA driver functions often boil down to writing registers directly. These are design decisions on the part of the respective GPU teams, which have wide-ranging implications for the software and hardware structure of the devices which use the resulting cores. The VideoCore driver isnt structured this way to pull the wool over your eyes, its structured this way because of a genuine judgment that this is the best structure given the resources we have on the chip, which includes a vector DSP to which we can offload much of the low-level register access."

Thanks to FIBA Europe and Euroleague Basketball the 2012 European Basketball Week was a slam dunk of a success across Europe Eurasia
2012 European Basketball Events across Region
Special Olympics Europe Eurasia once again saw the European Basketball community throwing its full support behind the ninth annual Special Olympics European Basketball Week which has just finished across the Region. Taking place from November 24th to December 2nd 2012 the week saw more opportunities provided for players with intellectual disabilities.
The aim of this week as always, is to promote and expand opportunities for adults and children with intellectual disabilities through basketball, while breaking down barriers to inclusion and acceptance.
European Basketball Week is possible through the support of FIBA Europe, Euroleague Basketball and its One Team Program, National Basketball Federations and clubs across Europe. 2012 Basketball Week involved 17,500 athletes, 5,000 volunteers and families in 32 European countries. The Week is one of the highlights of the year-round event calendar and is part of Special Olympics' on-going commitment to increase the number of registered basketball players in Europe to 60,000 and 600 additional volunteer coaches by the end of 2013.
The theme for 2012 was "Basketball for Everyone" as European Basketball Week is about creating opportunities and promoting widespread participation of players with and without intellectual disabilities at all ability levels through Unified Basketball®. The week also marked International Day of People with Disabilities on December 3rd 2012.
Over 220 local and regional events took place across European cities and towns and more than 20 national tournaments. Clinics with professional players, coaches and referees were also key events of the week. As part of the partnership between Special Olympics and Euroleague Basketball initiated in 2009 and newly supported by its One Team Program, Euroleague matches on November 29th and 30th and December 6th and 7th are dedicated to Special Olympics.
"FIBA Europe continues its endorsement of Special Olympics Basketball Week because sport plays an important role in society and touches many people in a highly positive and participatory way. Special Olympics use sport as a catalyst to transform the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and to promote respect, acceptance and inclusion. I hope European Basketball Week 2012 is the biggest and most inclusive yet so that more players with intellectual disabilities get an opportunity to take part." Olafur Rafnsson, President FIBA Europe
"Basketball Week is possible through the generosity of FIBA Europe, Euroleague Basketball and its One Team Program. It is a hugely important week in the Special Olympics calendar with basketball being one of the most popular sports among our athletes. Because of its mass appeal basketball brings those with and without intellectual disabilities together, breaking down barriers, changing attitudes and opening minds to the gifts and talents of people with intellectual disabilities. Basketball has the power to transform lives."- Mary Davis, Managing Director, Special Olympics Europe Eurasia.
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization changing lives through the power of sport by empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement provides year round sports training and athletic competition to 4 million athletes in 170 countries. Special Olympics events take place daily, allowing people with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship. www.specialolympics.org

Maidu upset about 2012 logging operations
Three hundred sixty-eight acres of Pacific Gas and Electric Co. land show evidence of last year's emergency logging operations in the Humbug Valley. Allegations that the logging destroyed protected Mountain Maidu archeological sites have since put a rift between PG&E and tribal representatives. Photo courtesy Ken Holbrook
Allegations of Native American archeological sites being destroyed by logging operations have caused a rift between members of the Maidu Summit and Pacific Gas and Electric Co.
In mid-April, tribe member Farrell Cunningham took a trip to Humbug Valley only to discover a nearly destroyed Maidu village site, a broken grinding rock, and devastated house pits — all of which he believed to be caused by last year's logging operations.
In addition to the apparent damage, new archeological materials were discovered adjacent to an existing archeological site. Cunningham said, "Evidence of habitation is all around in the form of obsidian and basalt debitage (chips from production of stone tools) but no action has been taken by PG&E."
PG&E initiated logging operations in the valley last year after the Chips Fire burned through 368 acres of its 2,325-acre property.
Not long after the fire was controlled, PG&E applied for an emergency timber harvest in order to remove the resulting dead and dying trees from its land.
PG&E external communications representative Paul Moreno said that in order to identify areas of cultural importance, archeologists surveyed the burned area with the help of Maidu surveyor Ben Cunningham.
Moreno said that all archaeological areas discovered as of that time were protected, and no logging occurred within the protected zones.
Kenneth Holbrook, a delegate with the Maidu Summit, said, "The Maidu were hired to do a survey after logging had begun. In fact, we did not even receive our Senate Bill 18 required notification letter until one day after logging commenced." He said that PG&E acknowledged and apologized for the "unintended oversight."
Pacific Forest and Watershed Lands Stewardship Council board treasurer Mike Schonherr said that since it was an emergency situation, there were much tighter time constraints that prevented more opportunity for communication.
Moreno said it was not the utility's intention for the Maidu to get the notice late and PG&E has since changed its notification process to avoid future issues. He said that going forward, the Maidu will be notified well in advance of any timber harvesting.
Members of the Maidu Summit have expressed concern over the validity of the logging operations. According to Beverly Ogle, Maidu Summit vice chairperson, Humbug Valley had minimal damage from the fire, and much of the valley is still green.
Holbrook said that he and other members of the Summit believe that PG&E's real reason for the logging operation is financially motivated.
According to board meeting minutes from the November 2012 Stewardship Council board meeting, Dan McCall, PG&E senior land consultant/forester, explained that "although crowns of trees marked for logging may appear healthy, the determination of tree health is made by examining the tree's cambium, which is its lifeline to transport water and nutrients from the tree roots to its crown.
"When the cambium is compromised the tree weakens and becomes more susceptible to forest insects," concluded the meeting summary.
Moreno said, "The timber harvest was to harvest dead or dying trees; we left behind all healthy trees, although in some spots, all trees were damaged.
"We use practicing professional foresters to evaluate damaged trees. We leave healthy trees behind and all trees that have been removed or slated for removal were either dead, or suffered enough fire damage that they will eventually die."
He said the culling, which concluded in November 2012 as planned, "will improve forest health by reducing the spread of tree diseases and reducing future fire risk."
Furthermore, he said that the allegations claiming that PG&E caused damage to artifacts and protected sites is incorrect.
"All surveys performed in October 2012 were conducted in a professional and systematic manner. During the course of the timber harvest, there have been no violations or laws broken," said Moreno.
The site discovered in April contained two large rocks, which Holbrook identified as Indian grinding rocks. He said that they were damaged, as was the area around them. Holbrook could not attest as to whether they were damaged by PG&E.
Following the discovery of the new site, and the allegations that logging equipment broke the rocks and compromised the surrounding area, officials from PG&E and California Department of Forestry and Fire met with Maidu Summit representatives on location April 25.
Moreno said the newly discovered area was around an existing log landing area that was established decades ago. He also indicated it was used by the timber contractor for setting logs and staging equipment last fall.
According to Moreno, this location had never before been identified as an area of cultural importance.
James Nelson, a PG&E-employed archeologist, examined the two stones found and noted that one had a mortar cup depressed within it, and the other was a slab without mortar.
Moreno speculated that the mortar cup may have been uncovered during winter.
Heath Browning, a contracted archeologist hired by PG&E, said, "The slab with the mortar does not appear to be freshly broken, or broken within the last several years."
Moreno said that the discovery of an adjacent Maidu site indicates that the existing protected site is more extensive than previously documented. This prompted PG&E to expand the existing site and increase its protective boundary to ensure the new discovery will not be damaged in the future.
Moreno stressed the point that "the site was not damaged by timber harvesting operations and PG&E will continue to protect the existing site with the enlarged boundary."
Not convinced that the mortar rock wasn't damaged by logging, Holbrook said he feels PG&E did not create an adequate buffer around the adjacent lot in the first place, and had they expanded it, the rock may still be intact.
During an outing to Humbug Valley on May 4, Holbrook and his mother, Ogle, stumbled across an empty 5-gallon oil can. Close by, they found a stream that seemed to have been contaminated with oil.
The Stewardship Council was notified immediately and on Tuesday, May 7, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board completed a water quality analysis on the affected stream. According to Moreno, the analysis tested negative for petroleum product in the stream.
Holbrook said that it is not the intent of the Maidu people to "grind any axes" with PG&E. "My sole interest here is to protect Humbug Valley from any kind of environmental damage," he said.
He said, "Humbug Valley is our sacred homeland. It is the only one of six major valley areas that remains semi-pristine and unpopulated. It is a very important thing to our family — it is our home away from home."
What's next?
Holbrook said that as a show of good faith, he would like to see logging operations cease in the valley because they are "destroying archeologically important properties." He said the Maidu are working with the Stewardship Council to earn a recommendation that PG&E's land in Humbug Valley be donated to them, as pursuant to a PG&E bankruptcy agreement in 2004.
The agreement allows for the Stewardship Council to evaluate potential land transfers and/or conservation easements on PG&E watershed lands, and to donate them to groups meeting specific qualifications. Monroe said that since the program was enacted, there have been no land transfers completed.
The Maidu would like to manage the restoration of the forest using traditional ecological knowledge.
"We want to have a more organic approach to restoration. Maidu people would remove biomass through manpower and distribute it in ways that would benefit the forest. We feel this would be the best way of restoring the area," Holbrook said.
Moreno said that long ago, he and PG&E committed to working with the Maidu prior to resuming any logging activities. "The inadvertent discovery in April did not result in a suspension of logging activity. We had already agreed to wait for additional meetings and consultations with tribal representatives."
He said logging was completed in November, as they had originally planned. According to a press release published Oct. 17, 2012, on plumasnews.com, PG&E's next plan was to plant seedlings in Humbug Valley to restore the forest. This is expected to begin in spring 2014.
The seedlings are from the same naturally occurring species and the same elevation band as Humbug Valley.
"Replanting of the forest is not required for emergency timber harvesting but we are doing it because we feel it is necessary to be good stewards of the land. We own the land and we are taking care of it," said Moreno.
Moreno added that PG&E is committed to working with tribe members, and acknowledged that there has been some great participation by tribal representatives in helping them identify concerns and finding ways to work closely together.
Holbrook said, "We would like to really engage PG&E from a management level and enhance communication between them and the Maidu."

The case looked okay but when I put it on my phone, it caused me to lose my signal. My husband put it on his phone and the same thing happened. Now I just can't use it so I'll throw it away and buy another:(
has furry feel. solidly made. very nice llooking. good quality
This iphone case is very poor quality. After only two days using it broke. I would not recommend this.
The case is very cute but it really only protects the back of the phone. The case already has a crack on the top corner, not very durable....
I love the look of this case and did get many compliments, however the rinestones fell out immidiately after putting it on my phone.
My daugther loves it. She needed a cover for her I phone and she loves leopard. It shows very nice on her phone.

Complaining is usually what hipocritical people do when something displeases them. they would rather use a verbal indication to express their displeasure of a certain thing, rather than taking a stand and doing something about it.

Aaron T.AtlantaHairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairLove!I absolutely loved this product. I have naturally thick curly hair and the curling wand works great for me after I have blow dried. I have a video up on my youtube channel @ TeAmoAaron if anyone would like a tutorial!posted Nov 28, 2014Link to this post
Cheryl R.United StatesHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairOuchThis is the only curling iron I have used that I consistently burn my face or ears. I don't know if its because the barrel is long, or because there is no "safety piece" to hold with the opposite hand. This requires using a protective glove EVERY time...which makes it time consuming and cumbersome. I would love to find a curling iron with a shorter cone style barrel. Perhaps this would make the iron easier to use? Any suggestions?posted Jan 16, 2014Link to this post
ErinHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGreat ProductI bought this curling iron for christmas 2012 and i use it about twice a week. If you're looking for a good clip less curler and you don't want to splurge, this is the right way to go. My hair is naturally curly and frizzy, but i love using this wand to turn my messy curls in to casual more precise curls. I'm totally crazy in love with this product, but it has it's flaws. Since the barrel is shaped the way it is, your hair often slips if you curl it with the end pointing the sky. I use the thing that you use to lean the curler up against a table without burning the table to keep my hair from slipping off. I hold the curler in the hand of the opposite side of my head that i am curling and wrap it like that and it seems to work. I also have a problem with the on off switch. Since its a button on the handle, i occasionally turn my iron off while using it. It doesn't happen often but its annoying when it happens. In all, this iron makes beautiful curls in my hair and i love it. I would recommend it to anyone :)posted Jul 12, 2013Link to this post
Kara B.Nashville, TNHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairStays Curly With No Hair Products!After reading the reviews on here, I decided to buy it because it was so inexpensive. I have used hot rollers for years, sometimes with success, sometimes not. The curls I got with hot rollers were somewhat frizzy and would be gone shortly after stepping outside. After trying this curling wand with no hair product whatsoever, my curls stayed beautiful all day. Tried it again on a day it was raining, and it still stayed curly! Now I use it all the time. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!posted Mar 17, 2012Link to this post
Mizz PinkBC, CanadaHairMedium BrownOily HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGood Product, But The Taper Sucks.Conair Clipless, for being such an inexpensive and easy attainable tool actually works very well. My curls lasted a long time, and looked very pretty :)
The ONLY thing i did NOT like about it, or any tapered clipless iron for that fact, is my hair was hard to keep on the barrel. I would curl it around and it would all slide to the bottom.
The iron itself worked very well, love the adjustable temp feature on it, but i wish they made one with a straight barrel :)posted Mar 16, 2012Link to this post -
HeidiMinneapolis, MNHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairDoes Not Heat ConsistentlyThis iron has not lived up to my expectations. I don't know if my iron is defective but the tip does not heat up as hot as the base. I wrap my hair around this and the roots are curled but the ends stay straight. I would think with the smaller tip the ends would be more curly if anything! I tried touching the iron with the glove on at both the base and the tip, and the base is definitely hotter. I find myself having to wrap half of my hair at the roots, and then doing a second curl at the ends, keeping all the hair up towards the base. I have had better, quicker results using my 1 1/4 inch clip iron, which is also Conair and works fine. My hair takes a curl fairly well so I really think it's the iron. I will be looking for a different clipless iron, since it definitely gives a different look from a clip iron, but I'll be looking for a better brand, straight barrel and a larger size since the look with this is a little too curly for my taste.posted Nov 10, 2011Link to this post
CatherineHairMedium BrownNormal HairGood, But Be CarefulI love this product! It holds curl in any sort of weather (besides rain) I curled my hair one day and i didnt use any sort of product besides heat protectant. It stayed all through the night and in the morning it looked amazing it was big, loose, wavy sort of curls. But i did burn myself pretty badly... and now i have a scar there on my hand so be careful when you are using it. Maybe buy a glove thing?posted Nov 5, 2011Link to this post
TishanHairAuburnColor Treated HairLove Love LoveOK I JUST LOVE THIS PRODUCT! From the first time i used it i was totally in love with it. A traditional curling iron does not keep curl in my hair, but THIS DOES! I Recomend this item to anyone and everyone.!!!!!!!!!!!!posted Oct 23, 2011Link to this post
MelissaIrvine, CAHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairAmazingThis product is awesome. Took a couple times to get used to but now that I am it's amazing. So easy to use and the heat settings (go really high) is perfect for my VERY hard to curl hair. I get compliments every time I use it. I recommended to everyone, especially those with hard to curl hair.posted Oct 12, 2011Link to this post
MarlenyTexasHairDark BrownNormal HairAwesome:)!I was skeptical in buying this at first because of the mixed reviews, but after taking a look at some videos, I decided to buy it (from Target). I have to say, I LOVE the way my hair looks after I use it. I usually straighten my hair or just use gel if I'm feeling lazy so these curls was a breath of fresh air. I found it easy to use & took less time than to straighten my hair or curl it with a traditional curling iron. Plus, I can sleep in the curls & they will still be there the next day without the need of a touch-up. I live in an area with a lot of humidity & my hair frizzes up therefore don't use it alot, but once Winter comes around, it'll be my new best friend :) Oh & I really dislike the glove. It's silly really, but I did fine without it.posted Oct 3, 2011Link to this post

Hmmm... I would have voted for this. I love simple designs. The rejections seems bizarre to me. If there is a rule that shirts cannot have "no" signs on them, then post that in the derby rules. Maybe if there was a "no cute bunnies" sign it would have fogged?
I wonder how the cop is going to react when I get pulled over wearing this shirt. I look forward to your entry each week. You never disappoint. Still hoping for a chance to buy "outbreak" tomorrow. GREAT JOB!

When you copy music, pictures, and videos from your PC to a blank CD or DVD, it's called burning.
With Windows Media Player you can burn three kinds of discs: audio CDs, data CDs, and data DVDs. To decide which kind of disc you should use, you'll need to think about what you want to copy, how much you're copying, and how you want to play the disc. This table helps you decide what type of disc is right for you.
Audio CD
Choose this option if you want to make custom music CDs that you can play in your car, on your stereo, or on your PC.
Use this for: music only
Capacity: up to 80 minutes
You can play an audio CD on: almost any CD player, including home stereos, car stereos, and PC.
Data CD
This is a great option if you have lots of music and a CD player that can play Windows Media Audio (WMA) files. It's also handy for backing up your media.
Use this for: music, pictures, and videos
Capacity: about 700 megabytes (MB), or roughly 8 hours of music
You can play a data CD on: PCs and some CD and DVD players. The device must support the file types that you add to the disc, such as WMA, MP3, JPEG, or Windows Media Video (WMV).
Data DVD
Because a data DVD has a lot of space, it's especially useful if you have a lot of files that won't fit on a single data CD.
Capacity: about 4.7 gigabytes (GB), or roughly 54 hours of music
You can play a data DVD on: PCs and some DVD players. The device must support the file types that you add to the disc, such as WMA, MP3, JPEG, or WMV.
You'll need two things to get started:
A CD or DVD recorder drive (also known as a CD or DVD burner).
A blank CD or DVD.
With this option, you can make a music CD that will play in almost any CD player.
Here's how to burn an audio CD:
Open Windows Media Player:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
Enter Windows Media Player in the search box, tap or click Apps, and then tap or click Windows Media Player.
Insert a blank CD-R disc into your CD burner.
If your PC has more than one CD drive, tap or click the drive you want to use in the navigation pane.
If you see the list from your last selection and want to start a new list, tap or click the Clear list button to remove the previous one.
Find the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the audio CD.
Drag items from the details pane (in the middle of the Player Library) to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
If you want to change the order of the songs in the burn list, drag a song up or down in the list.
If you want to remove a song from the burn list, double-tap or right-click the song, and then tap or click Remove from list.
Don't worry—removing an item from the burn list doesn't delete it from your Player Library or your PC.
When you're happy with the list, tap or click Start burn.
If your list has too many items for one disc, you can burn the remaining items to a second disc.
If you want to make a disc that can hold several hours of music (as opposed to an audio CD that only holds about 80 minutes of music), choose the Data CD or DVD option. You can also add picture and video files to data discs.
Keep in mind that when you burn a data CD or DVD instead of an audio CD, the CD or DVD player that you use to play it must be able to play the file types that you put on the disc. For example, if all of your songs are in the WMA format and your CD player only supports MP3 files, you won't be able to play your new data CD or DVD with it.
Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner.
If your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive, tap or click the drive you want to use in the navigation pane.
Find the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc.
If you want to change the order of the items in the burn list, drag the item up or down in the list.
If you want to remove an item from the burn list, double-tap or right-click the item, and then tap or click Remove from list.

Many NH hospitals cut from Anthem insurance list
"We are well aware the concept of a narrow network is new to New Hampshire," Rogers said. "Do we need 26 hospitals to serve our plan? We decided we didn't."
Appearing before the Joint Health Care Reform Oversight Committee Wednesday, Anthem officials said the company did a national survey and found people overwhelmingly preferred lower prices over access to health care.
"Now we are not going to have the doctor of our choice, the hospital of our choice or the plan of our choice," said committee co-chair, Rep. John Hunt, R-Rindge.
The network plan is expected to be approved by federal regulators within the next two weeks, according to Maria Proulx, Anthem NH's senior legal counsel. State regulators have already recommended Anthem's offering to the federal Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services.
Sanborn said people in the state are going to be shocked at the beginning of the year.
Steve Ahnen, president of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, said his organization's concerns "are patients getting the right care, at the right time, at the right place or are they having to travel great distances to get their care."
Under the Anthem plan, emergency care in non-network hospitals will be covered and patients with on-going serious illness will be able to continue their treatment.

But there is no choice!
SPOILERS. Here is the latest TV Spot for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. There is some new footage here for those of you that don't wish to have it spoiled. However, this is TV Spot, so it could appear anywhere at anytime.
Synopsis: In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Henry Cavill) is a young twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world's beacon of hope – Superman.
The Man of Steel arrives June 14th, 2013 in 3D and IMAX.
This movie is going to be so good, I can feel it in my bones. Like I have been saying since it was first announced, Synder Nolans Goyer Superman = EPIC WIN. This cannot lose.
I'm convinced this film will set up Brainiac for the sequel and build up Lex Luthor slowly the way the new Spidey is doing with Osborn.
Zod's ship looks way too much like something from Brainiac not to have a link IMO
I hope you are correct in that assumption Wise. I have had the same ideas. We have discussed this so many times before in the last year or two. Zod, Braniac/Lex Luthor, then Darkseid.
I love the CGI'd cape shots. It makes it so much more majestically poetic........ and it reminds me of Spawn.
Can't f'n wait for this. Goyer's screen writing, with a little bit of push from Nolan and then Snyder's vision and how he brings comic book source material to life is simply awesome even if Sucker Punch awful, I give Snyder a pass since he did such a marvelous job on 300 and Watchmen.
I am with you Wise. Sucker Punch is like Inception, to far above people to really comprehend. LOL In time it will be a massive cult classic.

Ofcourse the ignorant outsider will see Amsterdam as one of the few places in the world where prostitution and smoking pot are legal. However, the capitol of The Netherlands is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with a very rich tradition. The city center consists of mainly warehouses built a few hundred years ago. It was that the ships set out to explore the Americas and the far east. Nowadays, people are among the best English speakers in Europe and the city is one of the safest places I know. It's a multicultural example for the rest of the world.
Amsterdam was a thriving city when New York was a puddle of mud - and it shows.

The Capital of the Netherlands. Most known as the Jamaica of Europe, because of the legalization of marijuana. The government in Amsterdam differentiates marijuana from other hard drugs (cocaine, heroin, crack, etc) Other things that are legal are prostitution, (selling sex for money) Euthanasia, (assisted suicide) and absinthe. (a drink illegal in America, because it causes you to hallucinate) Amsterdam is famous for its red light district. The people are known for speaking English very well, as well as Dutch. To Americans it seems like heaven!
Amsterdam is heaven.

A city in Holland where there is legalized prostitution, marijuana, and pretty much everything else. You can drink, smoke, and fuck at 16.
When I was 15 I went to Am-Dam and smoked a joint of salvia than saw hookers in glass cages...good times.

Israeli Politics
Israel's government is a parliamentary democracy. The Israeli political system has three branches: executive, legislative and judicial. The legislative branch is comprised of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, which has 120 members.
The two largest parties historically were the Likud party, which is a center-right party, and the Labor party, which is a center-left party. In 2005, Ariel Sharon founded the Kadima party in order to support his disengagement plan. Moderate Likud and like-minded Labor politicians joined the party, and Kadima won the majority of seats in the Knesset in both the 2006 and 2009 elections.
There are also several "religious" parties ranging in ideology from modern Orthodox to ultra-Orthodox, and a secularist party, Shinui, which also claims to be the party of the "middle class." In addition, there are several Arab parties, and a communist Arab-Jewish party. It should be noted that although parties are considered "Arab" or "Jewish," this does not mean that Arabs are not members and even elected representatives of different Jewish Israeli parties--they are. The Labor, Likud, and Kadima parties all count among their delegates Arab-Israeli citizens.
Smaller parties (including religious parties) are also important in Israeli politics, as their support is necessary to form a coalition required to pass legislation. Small parties can represent identity groups--such as Sephardim (Jews of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Spanish descent), secular Israelis, or immigrants--or they can be formed to advocate for a single issue, such as environmental-protection legislation.
The executive branch of Israel is headed by a prime minister who is the coalition leader of the Knesset. In an election, voters vote for party lists rather than individual candidates, with seats in the Knesset apportioned according to the percentage of votes each party receives in the election. After the election, a coalition government must be formed of the elected party representatives in the Knesset; a ruling coalition must have at least 61 members to ensure a majority of the 120 seats.
The president of Israel formally asks whichever party leader he or she feels is most likely to be successful in forming a government to attempt to do just that and piece together a majority coalition. But since no party has ever achieved a 61-vote majority on its own, they have always relied on other parties to join the coalition; this has given small parties--some with as few as a single Knesset representative--power and importance that they otherwise would lack in the government, with parties agreeing to join a coalition in return for the passage of their pet bills.

The Truth About Triglycerides
You've probably had your blood tested for cholesterol by your health care provider. This lipid, or fat, test measures your total cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
It also measures your triglycerides, which can tell your provider a lot about your health. Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in your body. Most of your body's fat is stored as triglycerides.
Cholesterol and fat
Cholesterol and other fats in your blood are needed for certain body processes. Cholesterol travels to your cells via special carriers called lipoproteins. The total cholesterol reading in a lipid profile test measures the blood cholesterol in all the lipoproteins combined.
Low density lipoproteins (LDL) move cholesterol from the liver to other areas of the body. LDL is referred to as the "bad" cholesterol, because some of the LDL particles enter the walls of arteries, where they form harmful cholesterol deposits.
High density lipoproteins (HDL) carry cholesterol from body tissues back to the liver where it can be removed from the body. Having plenty of HDL cholesterol means that your body is able to regulate (and reduce) the cholesterol content of body tissues. Cholesterol in HDL has been called the "good" cholesterol.
The source of triglycerides
Food is one source of triglycerides. Your liver also makes them. When you eat extra calories — especially carbohydrates — your liver increases the production of triglycerides.
When you consume — or your body creates — excess triglycerides, they're stored in fat cells for later use. When they're needed, your body releases them as fatty acids, which fuel body movement, create heat and provide energy for body processes.
For good health, your triglyceride level should be less than 150 mg/dL, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Border-line high levels are 150 to 199 mg/dL; high is 200 to 499 mg/dL; and very high is 500 mg/dL and greater.
Cause for concern
If you have a high triglyceride level, your health care provider may have talked with you about taking steps to lower it. This is because some lipoproteins that are rich in triglycerides also contain cholesterol. This can lead to atherosclerosis in people with high triglycerides. A person with high triglycerides often has other risk factors for heart disease, such as age (men over 45 and women over 55), family history, a low HDL level, or diabetes. Very high levels of triglycerides are associated with inflammation of the pancreas. People who are overweight or obese frequently have higher than normal levels of triglycerides. All these conditions may increase your risk for developing heart disease or of having a heart attack or stroke.
Fortunately, lifestyle changes may help you manage your triglyceride levels and other risk factors for heart disease.
If you are otherwise in good health, one of the best ways to lower triglycerides is with regular exercise. Choose an activity that gets your heart beating faster. Aim for an average of 40 minutes of moderate to high intensity exercise on 3 to 4 days a week. You don't need to join a gym or buy expensive equipment. Taking a brisk walk every day can work just as well.
Making the following adjustments to your diet also may help:
Consume less saturated fat. This type of fat comes from animal products, such as red meats and whole-milk dairy foods. Choose lean meats, and replace full-fat dairy items with low-fat and nonfat versions.
Consume less total fat in your diet. Limit fat calories to less than 30% of your total caloric intake.
Consume less simple carbohydrates, such as table sugar and syrup. Limit your intake of baked goods made with white flour and sugar. Instead, choose complex carbohydrates, such as found in whole wheat flour, brown rice, and vegetables.
Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. These fats, found in fish, play a role in helping keep triglycerides down. Salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, and herring all have a lot of omega-3s.
Get 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread and brown rice, are great sources.
Cut back on alcohol. For some people, drinking even a little bit can have a big effect on triglycerides. Talk with your doctor about how much, if any, alcohol you may consume.
Weight management
Lose weight, if you're overweight. Ask your doctor to help you measure your body mass index (BMI). This is a measurement that relates your height to your weight. You are overweight if your BMI is 25 or greater; you're obese if your BMI is 30 or greater.
If changes in your diet and exercise don't lower your triglyceride level, your health care provider may recommend medication, such as nicotinic acid (niacin). This B vitamin increases HDL and lowers LDL and triglycerides when taken at levels higher than dietary requirements. Nicotinic acid is sold as both a prescription drug and a dietary supplement, but only the prescription form should be used for cholesterol and triglyceride lowering unless directed by your doctor. Fibrates (gemfibrozil, fenofibrate) help mainly by lowering triglycerides. They also may lead to modest improvements in LDL and HDL levels. Omega-3-fatty acids, such as found in fish oil and flax seed oil, may also lower triglyceride levels when taken in prescription strength doses.
Other changes
High blood pressure and smoking both increase your risk for heart disease. So, work with your doctor to manage high blood pressure, and if you smoke, quit.

This is pretty random, but I found out a way to gather money to donate to things like Ubuntu if your are tight on cash. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend stuff on these forums, so if this is against the rules please feel free to remove this post. The only reason I am sharing it is because I found a legit website that pays people to fill out surveys and sign up for advertising companies. You can also refer people and gain 10-30% of what they earn. What I'll be posting now is my referral link. If you sign up for it and earn points. I'd also gain points at no cost to the user. http://www.prizerebel.com/index.php?r=4842423
