I don't know about others
I don't know about others experience with this site but I am getting VERY frustrated. Don't mean to be smart ass, but the only parts of it that work for me since I joined a few days ago are the parts that want me to buy something. I still cannot access the guitar videos. One of the benefits was a member forum where I was hoping to go to resolve some of my issues using the site, but I cannot find anywhere where it exists on this site. I also don't see anywhere I can contact anybody from Highway Companions Club to resolve the issues I'm having. This seems to be the only place I can post. How do I get to someone who can hopefully figure out why I'm having these problems. This is a very expensive site to join and it's not working for me.

Princeling Jiang Mianheng, son of former leader Jiang Zemin, is spearheading a project with a start-up budget of $350m (pounds 217m). He has already recruited 140 PhD scientists, working full-time on thorium power at the Shanghai Institute of Nuclear and Applied Physics. The aim is to break free of the archaic pressurised-water reactors fuelled by uranium - designed for US submarines in the 1950s - opting instead for thorium reactors that produce far less toxic waste and cannot blow their top like Japan's Fukushima plant.
"China is the country to watch," said Baroness Bryony Worthington, head of the All-Parliamentary Group on Thorium Energy, who visited the Shanghai operations recently with a team from Britain's National Nuclear Laboratory. "They are really going for it, and have talented researchers. This could lead to a massive breakthrough."
The thorium story is by now well-known. Enthusiasts think it could be the transforming technology needed to drive the industrial revolutions of Asia.
At the least, it could do for nuclear power what shale fracking has done for natural gas - but on a bigger scale, for longer, and with near zero CO2 emissions.
The Chinese are not alone. Norway's Thor Energy began a test last month with Japan's Toshiba-Westinghouse to see whether they could use thorium at the conventional Halden reactor in Oslo.
The Japanese want to go further, knowing they have to come up with something radical to regain public trust. Japan's International Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) - led by thorium enthusiast Takashi Kamei - is researching molten salt reactors. The Chinese aim to beat them to it. Technology for the molten salt process already exists. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee built such a reactor in the 1960s.
It was shelved by the Nixon Administration, when the Pentagon needed plutonium residue from uranium to build nuclear bombs. The thorium blueprints gathered dust until retrieved by former Nasa engineer Kirk Sorensen. The US largely ignored him: China did not. Jiang - who says China's energy shortage is becoming "scary" - visited Oak Ridge in 2010 and obtained the designs.
His team concluded that a molten salt reactor may be an answer to China's prayers. They plan to build a 2MW plant using liquid fluoride fuel by the end of the decade, before scaling up over the 2020s. He estimates that China has enough thorium to power its electricity needs for 20,000 years. So does the world. The radioactive mineral is scattered across Britain. The Americans have buried tonnes of it, a by-product of rare earth metal mining.
The beauty of thorium is that you cannot have a Fukushima disaster. Professor Robert Cywinksi from Huddersfield University, who anchors the UK's ThorEA network, said the metal must be bombarded with neutrons to drive the process. "There is no chain reaction. Fission dies the moment you switch off the photon beam," he said.
"People are beginning to realise that uranium isn't sustainable. We're going to have to breed new nuclear fuel. If we are going to the trouble of breeding, we could start to use thorium instead," he said.
Thorium has its flaws. The metallurgy is complex. It is "fertile" but not fissile, and has to be converted in Uranium 233. Yet it leaves far less toxic residue. Most of the mineral is used up in the process, while uranium reactors use just 0.7pc. It can even burn up existing stockpiles of hazardous waste. Cambridge scientists published a tantalising study in February showing that it is possible to "achieve near complete transuranic waste incineration" by throwing the old residue into the reactor with thorium.
In other words, it can help clean up the mess created over the last half century instead of transporting it to be encased in concrete and buried for millennia. It is why "greens" such as Baroness Worthington - a former Friends of the Earth activist - are embracing thorium.
The thorium molten salt process takes place at atmospheric pressures. It does not require vast domes, so costly, and such an eyesore. You could build pint-size plants below ground, powering a small town the size of Tunbridge Wells or Colchester. There would be shorter transmission lines, and less leakage. The elegance is irresistible.
Sorensen says his group Flibe Energy is exploring 250MW reactors that could be tailor-made to power a single steel plant. They never reach critical heat. In an emergency, a plug melts and the salts drain into a pan. "The reactor saves itself," he said.
Major players in the nuclear industry have had a vested interest in blocking thorium. They have sunk huge costs in old technology, and they have bent the ears of cash-strapped ministers.
But this cannot go on forever. The cost fiasco of Areva's Olkilouto reactor in Finland should have cured them of any illusions.
China's dash for thorium is now changing the game. Britain has begun to hedge its bets. Chief scientific adviser Sir John Beddington said in September that the benefits of thorium are "often overstated" but conceded "theoretical advantages" in sustainability, toxic waste, and proliferation risk. He noted rising global interest. "It may be judicious for the UK to maintain a low level of engagement in thorium fuel cycle research."
Xu Hongjie, director of Shanghai's project, says the US energy department has begun to take a close interest in China's plans and is now seeking a tie-up. You can view it as a technology race or a joint venture in the common interest. It hardly matters.
If the Chinese can crack thorium, the world will need less oil, coal, and gas than feared. Wind turbines will vanish. There will be less risk of a global energy crunch, less risk of resource wars, and less risk of a climate tipping point.
Who can object to that?

Well after seeing the play Book of Mormon, in this case, no nothing is. It may not be for everyone and I could see how some might be offended, an average of fifty people walk out of a performance, but really Book of Mormon is from the creators of South Park. You have to know what you are walking into; surely one is not expecting a sequel to the Sound of Music. This play is not one for the kiddies.
In any case, be prepared to laugh until it hurts, and at other times to shake your head in in utter amazement, at what you are hearing and seeing. But remember, Book of Mormon is live theatre and weren't you fortunate to get one of the hottest ticket on Broadway. If you think you are going to be offended – you probably will be. So my suggestion would be to not to go and let someone who will appreciate it – to have chance to nab one of those tickets. For me, it was a night of laughing until it hurts and shaking my head in utter amazement, at what the creators got away with.

On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.
Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded was the result of a character that had been forged by life experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because hepossessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.
This capacity enabled President Lincoln to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to preserve the Union and win the war.
©2006 Doris Kearns Goodwin (P)2011 Simon & Schuster
"An elegant, incisive study....Goodwin has brilliantly described how Lincoln forged a team that preserved a nation and freed America from the curse of slavery." (James M. McPherson, The New York Times Book Review)
"Goodwin's narrative abilities...are on full display here, and she does an enthralling job of dramatizing...crucial moments in Lincoln's life....A portrait of Lincoln as a virtuosic politician and managerial genius." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)
"Splendid, beautifully written....Goodwin has brilliantly woven scores of contemporary accounts...into a fluid narrative....This is the most richly detailed account of the Civil War presidency to appear in many years." (John Rhodehamel, Los Angeles Times)
I'm a pop culture writer and editor living in San Francisco who commutes about half an hour with audio books five days a week. I go through a lot of audio books.
"Beautiful, Heartbreaking, and Informative"
"Team of Rivals" surprised me in so many ways. I was surprised by how much I didn't know about Abraham Lincoln. I was surprised by how beautifully told this story is. And I was surprised by how moved I was by a story that I, essentially, already knew.
Strange to say, but by the time Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth in Ford's Theater, I had almost willed myself into thinking Lincoln was a character who could figure out the trap, and avoid it somehow. I really didn't want him to die.
Narrator Suzanne Toren breathes life into the story, and even into the nearly all-male cast of characters. I could listen to her talk all day, and she made some of the dull spots easier to get through.
Readers/Listeners will be surprised at how well they'll come to know Lincoln's cabinet and family, and how heartbreaking it is to consider the untimely deaths of three of his four children, not to mention the tragic histories that haunted both Salmon P. Chase and Edwin M. Stanton.
I listened to this shortly after listening to "1861: The Civil War Awakening" (Adam Goodheart) which makes a fascinating companion piece to "Rivals" for its more colorful descriptions of the times, and its different perspective on figures such as Gustavus Fox.
"Rivals" is destined to go down as one of the definitive accounts of Lincoln's life, and any reader with even the most fleeting interesting in the 16th president would do well to delve into it.
Audible has changed my life! Dry , itchy eyes were destroying one of my greatest pleasures - reading. Now I am experiencing books again!
"Doris Makes a Difference"
Everyone has reviewed this book. It is as excellent as everyone says! I'm only writing yet another review because I believe there is a real difference between this and other great Presidential and civil war tomes - the perspective of a few, very interesting woman.
Don't get me wrong - the stars here are Lincoln and his "rivals", but a female historian just naturally carries her interest a little farther - into the lives and motives of the women who love and inspire them. Mary Lincoln becomes real here, but I also appreciate the fascinating details about lesser-known wives and daughters like Kate Chase and Frances Seward. Doris Kearns Goodwin's inclusion of these women adds yet another dimension to an already exemplary historical effort. It's an element which many fine male historians have overlooked.
"Felt Like an Easedropper at Lincoln's White House"
I haven't read the print version, but the exemplary way in which the audio version was executed suggests an equal, if not better, experience.
Lincoln being driven to tears by the adoration and gratitude bestowed upon him by African American soldiers.
The scene above - also any references to the closeness of Lincoln with Seward and Stanton.Some great scenes, two, describing meetings between Frederick Douglas and Lincoln.
With Malice Toward None
This was an amazing piece of non-fiction: Scrupulously researched and presented in a way that made some fairly unwieldy material (especially in the beginning) understandable and compelling. Kearns-Goodwin justifies her place as a revered guest on The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and Sunday morning news programs.There were moments when I truly felt as though I was listening to Lincoln deal patiently with his often argumentitive cabinet.
Means well...
"A Reluctant Read"
My wife recommended me read this book for close to a year before I gave in. I figured that since my new drive to work was long I could read a presidential biography and make her happy at the same time. I'm VERY glad I listened to her. The book was amazing and though I always knew Lincoln was a great man, I did not know just how great until after this novel.
Lincoln - The Untold Story
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Good story but a bit imbalanced"
If you just read this book, knowing what most people know about Lincoln, you will likely learn a lot and enjoy the read. For me, the book was interesting, but it seemed to systematically leave out anything essentially negative about Lincoln himself. This bothered me a bit. Although Lincoln was, and should be, a hero, a good history should show him as human, with all the faults and weaknesses that make heroism so extraordinary. Team of Rivals was more fun to read than Carwardine's or Donald's Lincoln, but both of those books portrayed much more flawed, balanced, and believable Lincoln. The best part of Team of Rivals is the portraits of the men in Lincoln's cabinet which are given short shrift in other histories. The downside is Team of Rivals has a strong point of view about Lincoln as a politician and a heroic man. Instead of presenting the evidence questioning the author's point of view and refuting it, such incidents are just left out. The author even guesses at Lincoln's pre-marital sexual experience based (it seems) on little more than guy talk and common sense (both notoriously unreliable). This is a very good read, but should not be the only Lincoln history one reads.
"Beautifully written, narration inadequate"
This is a great book, beautifully researched and written. I wish, however, that I had bought the hard copy. The narrator's style was cold and uninvolving, although at the beginning I was hoping to get used to it. After 40 hours, unfortunately, I did not; she lacked all passion for her subject. Doris Kearns Goodwin would have been a much better choice as reader. It didn't matter to me that Toren was a woman, and she has a beautiful speaking voice. This brilliant book deserved better.
"Tour de Force of mid-19-th century politics & war"
Ms. Goodwin started this marvelous novel, not at the beginning of the civil war, but much earlier in the personal and professional lives of each of the key characters. This allowed the reader to develop a much more complete understanding of the inter-relationships that were forged as Lincoln's cabinet was crafted from the great minds (and egos) of his day.
The thousands of personal correspondence that Ms. Goodwin had to read and research in order to build the elegantly flowing narrative of the lives of several great men and women contained in the novel is truly mind-boggling. She must be applauded for her diligence, passion and commitment, because the result of her work is a truly epic story.
No single moment, but the common theme that almost everyone who initially met Lincoln underestimated him until they actually got to know him. Looks, in this case, were exceedingly misleading as each would come to learn (and sometimes regret).
Ms. Toren's performance was phenomenal, not necessarily for its range of characters, but more for her ability to convey the far-reaching story and its complex characters with such subtlety that the reader can remain immersed in the tale, rather than becoming distracted by the narration.
Of course, when Lincoln was assassinated at almost the same moment that his epic struggle to end the Civil War, while keeping the warring factions of his cabinet knitted together.
I consider myself fortunate for having read this story. I learned and felt much as the lives of the characters unfolded before me.
"The Lincoln Story:Tactics of an Underdog"
I listened the first half if this book. I have read several books on the civil war but really wanted more history of the events that lead up to the war, and of Lincoln's life and career. The book delivered on this. I was not in the mood to hear about the battles, so maybe later I'll return and finish. Lincoln's tactics of timing, and good humor were well illustrated. Suzanne Toren did an excellent job narrating. She wouldn't have been my first pick, and sometimes I thought her delivery a tad melodramatic, but concidering parts of the book were dry accounts of parties and shopping trips, she really did keep my attention.
"History makes for a fascinating story"
Goodwin has done an incredible job of bringing together a ton of information about the personalities and actions of key "players" in the Lincoln administration (including Lincoln himself). It corrected many misconceptions I had about the history and personalities that I had had about that time. Her writing definitely gets you "up close and personal" with these important historical figures. I finished the book with a much greater appreciation for Lincoln and how important he was in keeping the U.S. together during this time. His unselfish approach to saving the Union was more than the country could have hoped for at this point in history. Plus, he would have been a great guy to have at almost any party.
Even though the story focused considerably on the "team," I still enjoyed hearing about Lincoln's upbringing, his road to the White House, and his treatment of his cabinet, his generals, and others.
She may not have provided much emotion in the reading, but she did a very good job of keeping the story going at a brisk pace.
There were probably many, but it's hard not to be moved by the "end" that's coming for Lincoln.
This is the way to learn history.
"3 ½ stars. Good education."
Bad recording equipment picked up narrator's breaths. Needs a pdf file for pictures.
I learned a lot but it was long. At times it dragged. A different author could have been more selective. I feel like Goodwin's goal was to provide as much information as possible, so a historian would be pleased to find a diary entry that he had not read before. I stayed with it because it was good for me. I'm glad I read it, but it was not as compelling or engaging as I hoped.
At times the subject matter was depressing. So many deaths in that war. I admired the morality of northerners willing to support the war against slavery. I was surprised and admired how Lincoln got enemies and those with conflicts to work together. He always took blame so others would not look bad.
I was surprised at how cowardly some northern generals were. Lincoln could not find good generals. The ones he had were afraid to attack and afraid to chase. Most of the fighting was when the South attacked. In one case McClellan was ordered to move his troops to help another general. McClellan wouldn't do it. At the same time Grant was out west fiercely fighting and winning. Lincoln was so happy to finally have a general who would fight, so he put Grant in charge of the whole thing. I was impressed with Lee's brilliant military leadership in the south.
Also memorable was Lincoln's desire to forgive. One of his cabinet members Chase campaigned against Lincoln for reelection and said negative things about Lincoln. After Chase lost, Lincoln gave another assignment to Chase because Chase was the best man for the country. Lincoln wanted to help the South recover after the war. He did not want to punish the South. Booth was so stupid to kill Lincoln. He was angry at freeing the slaves. But he killed the one man who would have forgiven and helped the South the most.
The awe of the Gettysburg Address. Reading it now in the middle of this book is so different from when I read it in high school. I have more understanding of what was going on, and it made the Address more powerful.
There needs to be a PDF file for audiobook buyers for pictures and illustrations that were in the physical book.
Suzanne Toren is a good reader for this book. But the recording equipment picked up her BREATHS. Her breathing was sooo distracting and sooo annoying. Recording people: Please solve this problem! I don't hear other narrators breathing.

She is set to run for re-election in Maine in November 4, 2014.[1]
Prior to her election in the Senate Collins served as Deputy State Treasurer of Massachusetts.[2]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Collins is a more moderate right of center Republican Party vote. As a result, she may break with the Republican Party line more than her fellow members.
Collins was born in 1952 in Caribou, ME, where she also attended high school. She earned her B.A. from St. Lawrence University in 1975. Before seeking office herself, Collins had worked on the staff of now-former Senator William S. Cohen.[2]

- Staff Director of the Senate Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on the Oversight of Government Management, 1981-1987

Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[5] The Senate confirmed 13,949 out of 18,323 executive nominations received (76.1 percent). For more information pertaining to Collins's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[6]
National security
John Brennan CIA nomination
Collins voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[7]
Drones filibuster
On March 6, 2013, Senator Rand Paul (R) led a 13-hour filibuster of President Obama's CIA Director nominee, John Brennan. Paul started the filibuster in order to highlight his concerns about the administration's drone policies. In particular, Paul said he was concerned about whether a drone could be used to kill an American citizen within the United States border, without any due process involved. Paul and other civil liberties activists criticized President Obama for not offering a clear response to the question. A total of 14 senators joined Paul in the filibuster -- 13 Republicans and one Democrat.[8][9][10]
According to the website Breitbart, Collins was one of 30 Republican senators who did not support the filibuster.[11][12]
The day after the filibuster, Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to Paul, responding to the filibuster. Holder wrote, "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on U.S. soil? The answer to that is no."[13]
Farm bill
On February 4, 2014, the Democratic controlled Senate approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[14] It passed the Senate with a vote of 68-32. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that will kick in when prices drop; however, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[15] Collins voted with 22 other Republican senators against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 16, 2014, the Democratic-controlled Senate approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[16][17] The Senate voted 72-26 for the 1,582 page bill, with 17 Republicans and 55 Democrats voting in favor of the bill.[17] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[18] It included a 1 percent increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and left the Affordable Care Act without any drastic cuts. Collins voted with the 17 Republican and the 55 Democratic members in favor of the bill.[16][17]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[19] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Collins voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[20]
Paul Ryan Budget Proposal
In March 2013 the U.S. Senate soundly rejected a balanced budget plan by House Budget Committee chair Paul Ryan (R).[21] Five Republicans joined every Democrat present to kill the measure, which failed on a 40-59 vote.[21]
Collins was one of the five Senate Republicans who voted against Ryan's budget proposal.[21]
The proposed budget would have cut about $5 trillion over the next decade and aimed to balance the budget by the end of the 10-year period.[22]
Some tea party members of the GOP opposed the measure because of its reliance on $600 billion-plus in tax revenues on the wealthy enacted in January 2013, in order to balance the budget.[21] Others in the Senate opposed the Ryan plan because of cuts from safety net programs for the poor and the inclusion of a plan to turn the Medicare program for the elderly into a voucher-like system for future beneficiaries born in 1959 or later.[21]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Collins voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[7]
2013 Senate Budget Proposal
Collins voted against the 2013 Senate Budget Proposal.[7] On March 23, after an all-night debate that ended just before 5 a.m., by a 50 to 49 vote the Democratically controlled Senate approved its first budget in four years. No Republicans voted for the Senate plan, and four Democrats opposed it. All four are from red states and are up for re-election in 2014. Collins was one of the four Democrats who voted against the budget proposal.[7]
The approved plan is a $3.7 trillion budget for 2014 and would provide a fast track for passage of tax increases, trim spending modestly and leave the government still deeply in the red for the next decade.
The approval of a budget in the Senate began the process of setting up contentious, and potentially fruitless, negotiations with the Republican-controlled House starting in April to reconcile two vastly different plans for dealing with the nation's economic and budgetary problems.
The House plan would have brought the government's taxes and spending into balance by 2023 with cuts to domestic spending even below the levels of automatic across-the-board cuts for federal programs now, and it orders up dramatic and controversial changes to Medicare and the tax code.
The Senate plan differed greatly, and included $100 billion in upfront infrastructure spending to bolster the economy and calls for special fast-track rules to overhaul the tax code and raise $975 billion over 10 years in legislation that could not be filibustered. Even with that tax increase and prescribed spending cuts, the plan approved by the Senate would leave the government with a $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and $5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window.
Mexico-U.S. border
Collins voted for Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[7]
Social Issues
Violence Against Women (2013)
Collins voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[7]
Background checks on gun sales
On April 17, 2013, the U.S. Senate took a vote on and defeated a measure that would have expanded federal background checks for firearms purchases.[23] The vote was 54-46, with supporters falling six votes short of the required 60-vote threshold.[24] Collins was one of the 4 Republican Senators who voted in favor of the measure.[25]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Collins voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89 - 8 vote on January 1, 2013.[26]
DHS speculation
Upon Janet Napolitano's retirement from head of the Department of Homeland Security, there was speculation that Collins may have been tapped for the position. On July 16, 2013, she told reporters, "The White House has not contacted me, I do not expect to be contacted by the White House and I am very happy being senator from Maine and I'm fully committed to seeking re-election."[27]
Collins is seeking election to a fourth term as U.S. Senator to Maine in 2014.[28] She will seek the nomination in the Republican primary. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
On November 4, 2008, Susan Collins won re-election to the United States Senate. She defeated Thomas H. Allen (D) in the general election.[29]

Feathers, gaming tables, and the like. They were easy to personalize and fit the fun Vegas idea perfectly! You will love the cute box they arrive in and the quality.
The quality is great, my delivery was right on schedule and the color was better than i expected

Why Get Tested?
To screen for or monitor treatment for a liver or bone disorder
When to Get Tested?
As part of a routine liver panel or when you have symptoms of a liver or bone disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
Fasting overnight preferred but not required
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in several tissues throughout the body, including liver, bone, kidney, bowel (intestine), and in the placenta of women who are pregnant. The highest concentrations of ALP are present in the cells that comprise bone and the liver. This test measures the level of ALP in the blood.
In the liver, ALP is found on the edges of cells that join to form bile ducts, tiny tubes that drain bile from the liver to the bowels, where it is needed to help digest fat in the diet. ALP in bone is produced by special cells called osteoblasts that are involved in the formation of bone. Each of the various tissue types produces distinct forms of ALP called isoenzymes.
Elevated levels of ALP in the blood are most commonly caused by liver disease or bone disorders. Levels of the enzyme can be greatly increased, for example, in cases where one or more bile ducts are blocked. Smaller increases of blood ALP are seen in liver cancer and cirrhosis, with use of drugs toxic to the liver, and in hepatitis. Any condition causing excessive bone formation, including bone disorders such as Paget's disease, can cause increased ALP levels. Children and adolescents typically have higher blood ALP levels because their bones are still growing. As a result, the ALP test must be interpreted with different reference (normal) values for children and for adults.
It is possible to distinguish between the different forms (isoenzymes) of ALP produced by different types of tissues in the body. If it is not apparent from clinical signs and symptoms whether the source of a high ALP test result is from liver or bone disease, then a test may be performed to determine which isoenzyme is increased in the blood.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Fasting is preferred but not required for this test. Eating a meal can increase the ALP level slightly for a few hours in some people. It is usually better to do the test after fasting overnight. In this case, only water is permitted.

"This product works!"
This product works. It's easy to use, and it gives results - no odor. We spray it in the spring as the weather is warming and again at midsummer when the weather is hot. It takes care of the urine and feces odor from our two big dogs, and it worked when we had three dogs, too. It does not harm the paint on the porch and fence or the vinyl siding on the house. At the very reasonable price, it is well worth trying. It makes you and your dogs better neighbors.
"At first didn't think it would help...but"
I really didn't think anything would help all the urine and poop smell out of my back yard but I tried this product and attached it to the hose and it did help a lot with the strong urine smell, with 4 dogs and a cat the smell can add up really quickly. So if you have that smelly problem, give this a try it really does help!

Any of my top 5 for sure!!
Not necessarily your favorite, as even some of my favorites i couldnt wear everyday for a period of time. But just a cologne that you just never think youll get sick of wearing. For me its fahrenheit. This is just one of those scents that i will never get tired of! Its amazing really. I think i will have to put it in my top 10 just for that reason alone.
Any of my top 5 for sure!!
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
Anything with interesting/unique notes fits the bill for me. Angel Men, Dior Fahrenheit, Bulgari Black, Dior Homme, Silver Mountain Water. Never get tired of those.
Pure Havane.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
Gengis Khan
I agree on Fahrenheit I could wear it all the time if I had to.
Gucci Envy
MDCI Invasion Barbare
the Dior Homme line
Terre d'Hermes EDT
Amouage Reflection
Eau d'Hadrien
YSL pour homme
Anything light and fresh. Dior Homme sport, Versace Pour Homme, Geir Ness, Mugler Cologne... but also any fragrance which is not cloying and smells natural like LIDGE or Jaipur.
I could easily say Mont Blanc Legend, GIT, DHI, even my current obsession Back to Black...but truthfully, if I wore the same scent every single day? EVENTUALLY I would grow old of it. It's like food. I love pizza, but if I ate nothing but pizza every day, I wouldn't love pizza much longer
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
Infusion d'Homme by Prada.
Eau des Baux by L'Occitane
A*Men Pure Havane by thierry Mugler
L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent
Dior Homme Intense, vintage Bal A Versailles, Habanita, Midnight Poison, Tom Ford Amber Absolute. Never get tired of these..
To be successful, you must smell successful! THATSMR2USIR
I'm not sure I would never get sick of it, but I could definitely wear Aventus for an extended period. It's good for any occasion and any weather.
Mugler Cologne no questions asked.
Rive Gauche PH, hands down.
Creed Millesime imperial
Dior's Bois D'argent
Xerjoff uden
Dior Fahrenheit or Dior Homme Intense
I can think of three: Creed GIT, Aventus and D&G Pour Homme
Sous le Vent (Guerlain)
Hmmmm...probably Green Irish Tweed and Gucci Pour Homme II
Hey BN'ers come check out my blog/channel for reviews/unboxings/first impressions! Feel free to subscribe and, thanks much. TheScentNose.
YSL LIDGE & Chanel BdC
I think Kurkdjian's APOM Homme.
For me, I think Van Cleef & Arpels pour homme would come pretty close. I'd hate to wear it everyday, though, because my nose would get used to it and then I would hardly ever smell it on myself.
Dior Homme
Terre d'hermes
Eau des baux
Gucci Pour Homme II
Chanel Eau de Cologne.
- - - Updated - - -
Chanel Eau de Cologne.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
None. The idea is ridiculous.
What's the point of wearing a scent that you can't smell, after olfactory block kicks in after several days.
Vintage Givenchy Gentleman
Snarky is as snarky does.
Tobacco Vanille
Oud Wood
Top notes of... sweat, gasoline, motor oil; a heart of deer musk and gunpowder, resting on a base of sex and testosterone... Mandom.
Guerlain Habit Rouge or vintage Shalimar parfum
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
L'Homme, DHI, Boss Bottled, A*Men (Original, I got tired of Pure Malt after a few wearings, although I like it more).
Christian Dior Fahrenheit
Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree
I'd get tired of ANYTHING I wore every day eventually. I think most people would.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
If you want something to wear everyday, but will work awesomely with ANY other scent you want to add to it or layer on it try...
I wear it everyday, I spray it on my clothing, because it lasts and lasts and smells better (IMO) on fabric than skin. I often cannot smell it on my skin. I will than apply a "accent scent" on my arms or neck.
When I am going somewhere that I know I will be in close quarters, like school, church or a meeting, I just wear Molecule 01 on it's own. I get compliments MOST when I wear it solo.
Good Luck!
Knize Ten is surely one I never get tired of. Sous Le Vent is another...
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Dior Homme
Its funny how a lot of people are saying gucci ph II bc its in my top 5 but i just seem to get a little bored with it if i wear it too much. But a very amazing scent
None. The closest I've come to doing that is with Bulgari white tea, but that's about it. It's possible for people to have the same thing for breakfast every day but virtually no one does that for dinner. I will leave you to ponder that.
Tsar de Van Cleef & Arpels
Oh yeah, if they still made it right Crabtree & Evelyn Extrait de Santal Mysore EDT - wore it every day for years in the late 80's when it still had real mysore . . .
None. Some come closer than others - probably the more I like it, the more I could make it an everyday scent. But currently, even my favorites only get worn every 3-5 weeks or so...
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Halston Z-14
i personally just can't wear 1 fragrance everyday and never get tired of it
i can not be able to adapt to it, cos i get bored easily

Based upon that snippet below using preg_match() I needed something faster and less specific. That function works and is brilliant but it scans the entire strings and checks that it conforms to UTF-8. I wanted something purely to check if a string contains UTF-8 characters so that I could switch character encoding from iso-8859-1 to utf-8.
I modified the pattern to only look for non-ascii multibyte sequences in the UTF-8 range and also to stop once it finds at least one multibytes string. This is quite a lot faster.

Home Solutions: Pre-fall home maintenance checklist
To make sure your home is in tiptop shape before cooler weather returns, follow this checklist for pre-fall home maintenance.
Check, clean and vacuum lint and dust from your dryer vent, air-conditioner, stove hood, room fans, baseboard heaters and cold-air returns. Keep your heating and cooling vents free from obstructions, such as furniture and draperies.
Check your crawlspace for standing water, mold — and wildlife.
Secure, replace and/or repaint any siding or trim that needs it. Replace or repair damaged bricks and mortar. Also, make sure your outdoor electrical receptacles are watertight.
Have your heating system inspected and/or serviced — whether it's a furnace, fireplace or space heater — and change the filters. Check pilot lights and burners, look for gas leaks, and make sure there is adequate ventilation.
Have your fireplace flue and liners cleaned to prevent creosote buildup.
Clean your gutters and downspouts, and make sure they're securely attached. Your roof should be watertight, too. Look for missing, cracked or loose shingles; gaps in the flashing where the roofing and siding meet; and damaged mortar around the chimney.
Paint inside while you can still leave the windows open for ventilation. Do the same for shampooing or replacing carpets.
Insulate, weatherstrip and caulk before cold weather comes. Replace or add to existing insulation. Caulk exterior joints around windows, doors, utility-line entrances and vents.
Readying your home for cooler weather now will free up your weekends for fall fun later.

1. Mes 4 Croissants
Poppin' fraîche has gone global and even with over 1200 bakeries in Paris, why would anyone bother walk all the way across the street to get a fresh, buttery croissant in the morning, that only costs 90 centimes, when you can simply unroll a package of doughy crescents and never slip out of that comfy peignoir de bain? For all you lazy types out there, I took a bullet for you and tried them out.
And speaking of taking bullets, when I peeled back the first layer of the package, the dough exploded with a startlingly loud pop, which so shocked me that I jumped as the dough quickly expanded as it burst from its tight confines. I almost had a crise cardiaque.
The ingredient list was nearly as wordy as the instructions but the upside is that I learned a few words to add to my French vocabulary, such as stabilisant and agent de traitement de la farine. (Margarine, I already knew). As they baked, my apartment took on the oddly alluring scent of the métro stations equipped with "bakeries" that "bake" croissants this way, whose buttery odors may – or may not – be a result of some sort of traitement.
One thing I often have to remind people is just because something is in French, like croissant or macaron (or elementary school lunch menus), doesn't mean it's a good version of that item. Just like one could conceivably call a hot pocket of dough with some warm stuff in the middle a calzone, after ripping off an end of one of the soft, spongy crescents, in the words of the late, great Tony Soprano..with all due respects, I'll stick with the croissants pur beurre from my local bakery. Even if I have to put on something other than my bathrobe in the morning to get them.

Information about health exhaustion and heatstroke was brought to you by Dr. Morris Leibowitz, Emergency Department Physician, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Ware, MA (July 15, 2013) – Heat related illnesses are common in athletes but they can also affect the elderly, the very young and persons with predisposing medical conditions as well as those taking a variety of medications. Although heat-related illnesses are treatable and preventable at least 240 persons die of heat-related illnesses in the United States each year.
Heat exhaustion can cause weakness, dizziness, anxiety, headache and palpitations. It can result in dehydration. It occurs with excessive exposure to hot weather and can be worsened by exercise and high humidity. It is more likely to occur at the extremes of age, such as in infants and older people.
If you think you may have heat exhaustion, get out of the heat quickly. Rest in a cool, shady place and drink plenty of water or sports drinks. You should avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, as these can worsen heat exhaustion and cause dehydration. If you do not feel better within an hour or two, you should see your doctor. On rare occasions heat exhaustion can progress to heatstroke.
Heatstroke is rare but much more serious than heat exhaustion. People with heatstroke may seem confused. They may have seizures or go into a coma. Most people with heatstroke also have a fever, but heatstroke does NOT occur as a result of an infection induced fever! Heatstroke occurs when your body can no longer regulate temperature as a result of high environmental temperature. If you think someone might have heatstroke, you should immediately get him or her to the nearest hospital. If available, cold water can be used to douse the person while emergency care is on the way; the evaporation of the water will speed cooling.
To avoid heat exhaustion and heatstroke don't exercise outside when it is hot and humid. If you have traveled to a place that is hotter than where you live, take a few days to acclimate to this new environment before you engage in heavy exercise. In hot weather, wear cool, light clothing and drink plenty of water. If you feel weak get to a cooler environment.
Get medical help immediately if you think you might have heatstroke. Be sure to tell the doctor caring for you if you are on any over the counter or prescription medications. There are some medicines that can put you at a greater risk of heatstroke.
These include:
• Allergy medicines
• Cough and cold medicines
• Blood pressure and heart medicines
• Diet pills
• Irritable bladder and irritable bowel medicines
• Laxatives
• Mental health medicines
• Seizure medicines (anticonvulsants)
• Thyroid pills
• Water pills
Children are also at risk for heat related illness. Send your child out to sports practice or play fully hydrated. Then, during play, make sure your child takes regular breaks to drink fluid, even if your child isn't thirsty. Take a break to and head to a cooler environment when it's really hot out.
Get children acclimatized before summer practice. If they go to summer practice or summer camp and are not used to that kind of heat and humidity and duration of exercise they are more likely to develop a heat related illness.
During the summer heat set a schedule, and plan activities that you can do either in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. If you can't change your schedule, make sure to drink water frequently, put on plenty of sunscreen and wear a hat during peak times when the sun is at its hottest.
