Czech striker Vydra, who has scored 20 times for the Hornets this season, beat 29-goal Crystal Palace forward Glenn Murray and Blackpool winger Tom Ince to the honour on Sunday night.
"He deserves it very much, he has done incredible things for us this year," Zola said.
"Since he came he showed some very good qualities, although at the beginning he did not have the experience.
"For a while he was on the bench but he never gave up, and as soon as he got the opportunity he took it and has not stopped scoring since.
"Not only is he a talented player on the pitch but he has shown me he is a very good character as well.
"The whole team has made a big contribution to the goals Matej has scored. But he also plays a big role in the build-up and in defence. I'm really pleased with the way he performs."

Went there with my gf on karaoke night and the meal was superb...better than I expected...lovely atmosphere
Posted by rush on 05/30/2013
This comes with great surprise to me, especially being such a long time customer of Rustik. Now don't get me wrong the place is fabulous n I love the very friendly ambiances that the Tavern offers, However when it comes to the food I don't know wether or not if I was the victim of some cruel prank or or just flat out Jerked. I've been ordering the shrimp n fries from them for years to the point where I'm calling at least 2 a wk for myself plus the kids... Anybody that's not new to Rustik KNOWS that $14 meal comes with over 8 shrimps....more than enuff to satisfy your hunger immediately and save some for later. Why on May 30th 2013 I got the rude awakening.... a friend and I ordered shrimp with fries along with the Turkey Burger Sliders.. Which as we got back literally blew me away to only see 4 scampi burned shrimp with more fries than a Ore Ida bag and in addition they were not fully cooked. the sliders meal that normally consist of 4 sliders has been reduced to only 2 sliders with a ton of fries. Are you kidding me the meals have been cut in half literally....where do they do this at. AT Rustik! I was always a big supporter until so we did what any logical person would do & that's calling there and finding out what happened to our order. We were staggered by the snipit that the menu had changed knowing that it really hasn't it's the quantity of food that change n so with it the quality too.... I just smh n wondered why reduce your plate n keep your prices insanely high... so what boils down to us spending $28 for four scampi burnt shrimp and two turkey burger sliders with a load of fries!

Summertime Part 2
Peferct day for some Jumbo in the wilderness action.
A few years went by, since I made this the last time.
Peferct day for some Jumbo in the wilderness action.
A few years went by, since I made this the last time.
No, I don't collect Ultraman stuff. My only vintage piece is this Popy set.
I also have a few 80ties Bandai Ultraman kaijus. That's it. I think I'm more
a "Mirrorman guy" ;-)
I "rediscover" this piece last friday and thought it deserves some extra love.
Bought this Popy Ultaman 80 (ウルトラマン80) set more than 20 years ago.
I was a complete newbie at this time and had no clue how many (endless) cool
japanese toys are out there. Finding informations about these toys was pretty
difficult at this time. No ebay, no wikipedia, no TBDX, nothing.
I was into Shogun Warriors, tin robots, Popy Chogokins, Micronauts and many
none japanese toys at this time. I bought most of the stuff on flea markets and from
a toy dealer I knew personally here in germany. This guy was pretty cool. He was
specialized on superhero stuff, but also had cool japanese pieces from time to time.
He was travelling around in italy and got the toys from old toy stores, but also
went to big toy shows in the USA a few times a year. Great times! Buying and
finding toys was a real adventure.
I bought my Mattel Astro Robot Jumbos, lots of Shogun Warriors, tons of Popy
Chogokins etc over the years from him. His name was Peter Bergner, he also
had a store in Cologne. This was the german version of Kimono my House, only
without the japanese toys ;-)
The guy had a world famous Spiderman collection. He had everything you could imagine,
even a real Spidey costume from one of the 70ties movies.
…ok, back to the Ultraman set.
I remember that Peter bought the sofubi set on a toy show in Florida,
because he thought it could be something for me. I think I paid something
like $50 for it. This was lots of money for me at this time, a poor student.
Enough sentimental nostalgic memories. Here's the toy…lets go.
It's a "double blister box" with a pop-up flip side. Pretty cool!
The set comes with 13 figures.
I like the artwork of this box. The sofubis look nice inside the blister
box, but even better when they are in the pop-up "diorama".
Like a little store display.
The set comes with a little Popy Ultraman 80 catalog
Great set. I'm glad that bought it.
Finally a few foot markings…
I'm sure every collector out there is aware that Ed is parting with his magnificent DX Chogokin Black Daltanious at the upcoming Morphy Auction this Thursday. It is so flippin' rare to see one of these, not to mention for sale. This is one of the holy trinity of Black DX's Popy turned out. I would love to see this, the Garbin and the Godsigma together, although I'm not holding my breath. I'm sure we'll all be watching this one VERY closely.
"The cat is a dog". Yes. I'm pretty confused. I was one of the guys who thought for
decades t hat Norakuro is a cat. Japan's answer to Felix the Cat. Holy shit.
He looks like a cat! But I was wrong.
Norakuro (のらくろ), or Norakuro-kun was created by Suihō Tagawa.
"The name Norakuro is an abbreviation of norainu (野良犬, stray dog) and Kurokichi
(黒吉, the name of the dog, literally meaning "black lucky")." wikipedia
Norakuro started his manga career in 1931 as a private, serving in an army of dogs
called the "fierce dogs brigade" (猛犬連隊 mōkenrentai).
I always wanted the Popy Chogokin version of Norakuro, but I needed a few
years to get one. He's not very scare and not very expensive, always another
toy was on top of my "list". Norakuro had to wait. Finally I got one from Yahoo
Japan last year. When he arrived I was really amazed. All I can say. Super nice toy!
The 1976 Norakuro GA-72 is from Popy's Meisaku Series. Let's start with the box art.
The toy comes with a plastic stand, a bag with accessories, a Popy chogokin catalog and
a little brochure.
Hope you all appreciate what I do now ;-)
I destroyed the C-10 condition and open the plastic bag with the accessories.
Hmmmmm…I smell more than 30 year old preserved japanese odor.
In the bag are Norakuro's rifle, sword, bayone, backpack and 7 attachable badges of rank.
With the badges he could be gradually promoted from private to 2nd lieutenant.
Here are some detail shots of his military equipment.
Norakuro itself is heavy diecast. Only his head is plastic and
he could move his arms and legs.
…again. Super nice toy!
I love this little dog and I hope that Norakuro didn't make any bad things in
China during the 30ties when he was part of the Imperial Japanese Army.
Ok, not really Imperial Japanese Army…"fierce dogs brigade".
THANKS Mr.Chairman Sjoen destroying my illusion that Norakuro is a cat.
All the old fotos are from the secret archive of the Imperial "fierce dogs brigade".
They never had been published before.
More fotos in the BBS.

Meanwhile, at the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office, Tony was also charged with "Operating a bike on the roadway"; he says that later, as the prosecutor did with Ryan, an additional charge of "impeding traffic" was added. Due to the circumstances surrounding the arrest Tony was also charged with failure to comply with an order, resisting arrest, attempted assault on an officer and obstructing official business.
Ryan says that as his trial date approached, the prosecutor offered him a deal--testify against Tony, and the charges against Ryan would be dropped. Ryan says that he refused to save himself by "throwing Tony under the bus," as he puts it. So, with the case against Ryan scheduled to go to trial, Ryan's attorney filed a motion to dismiss the charges. Tony's attorney did the same.
In its decision following the hearing on the motion to dismiss Tony's charges, the Court began by noting that the state had the burden of proving that the arrest was consistent with the 4th Amendment, but that the state must only meet that burden by a "preponderance of the evidence," rather than the higher "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard. This means that the state would simply have to prove that it was more likely than not that the arrest was consistent with the 4th Amendment; this is the easiest burden of proof.
The central question was whether Tony had been impeding traffic. If the state proved that it was more likely than not that Tony had been impeding traffic, then the order to pull over was lawful, and the arrest for failure to comply with that order was also lawful; if that was the case, the charges would not be dismissed. On the other hand, if the state failed to prove that Tony had been impeding traffic, then the order to pull over was not lawful, and the subsequent arrest for failure to comply was also not lawful, and the charges would be dismissed.
This meant that the prosecution had to show that Tony was riding at a speed that was unreasonably slow for a cyclist--a task that proved impossible, once the Deputy testified that he estimated the cyclists' speed at 15-20 MPH, but didn't really know how fast they were going, and admitted that he didn't know what the speed limit on that road is, within the city limits. There was simply no evidence that the cyclists had ever impeded traffic, and thus, the Deputy had no reason to stop the cyclists, and they could not be charged with failure to comply with his orders. The charges were dismissed.
Later, at the hearing on the motion to dismiss the charges against Ryan, the prosecutor was once again unable to prove the impeding traffic charge, and the Court reached the same decision that it reached following Tony's hearing, dismissing the charges against Ryan.

LaraDecember 9th, 2011 on 8:01 pm
Maybe my sweet potato was larger, but I took nearly 3 cups of water to get this to a decent creamy soup consistency. It still came out delicious. Lots of pepper.
July 9th, 2011 on 12:19 pm
This is tasty, yummy and most of all this might be a good natural diet to expecting moms.
CourtneySeptember 21st, 2010 on 6:20 pm
Tried this but found it a bit too bland for my liking – ended up adding red pepper flakes, curry powder, cilantro, green onions, corn, and some brown sugar. So I guess it didn't end up being the same soup at all, but it made a great base and was wonderful inspiration!

Nov. 25, 1969 D. JACKSON TIME INDICATOR Filed Nov. 8, 1966 INVENTOR DAVID JACKSON 3,480,402 TIME INDICATOR David Jackson, Whetstone, London, England, assignor to Express Dairy Company (London) Limited, London, England Filed Nov. 8, 1966, Ser. No. 592,778 Claims priority, application Great Britain, Nov. 9, 1965, 47,573/65 Int. Cl. G01n 31/06 US. Cl. 23254 15 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A time indicator formed of an absorbent carrier having absorbed thereon at least one chemical compound which changes color upon exposure to oxygen. The carrier and chemical compound absorbed thereon are protected from ambient oxygen by a non-perforated barrier layer which is transparent and through which atmospheric oxygen can controllably diffuse over a preselected period of time. Thus, when the chemical compound changes color, the preselected period of time is indicated.
The present invention relates to a time indicator.
It is very often an advantage to have a visual indication attached to goods, e.g., perishable goods, to indicate when a period of time has elapsed after which the goods may no longer be safe to use and should not be offered for sale. This would be particularly of value for attaching to, for example dairy products, such as milk, butter, etc.
According to the present invention there is provided a time indicator comprising an absorbent carrier having absorbed thereon at least one chemical compound which changes colour on exposure to oxygen.
Many indicators which may be used will change colour immediately, or within a short period of time, on exposure to the atmosphere, and it is therefore, preferable to coat the absorbent carrier having the chemicals absorbed thereon with a barrier layer which by virtue of its permeability characteristic to the oxygen of the air will allow a certain predetermined or controlled period of time to elapse before suflicient oxygen reaches the chemical or chemicals causing them to change colour.
If desired a number of different chemicals may be used, some or all of which react to the presence of oxygen by changing colour but which react after different periods of time. In this way a graduated time indicator can be produced or this feature can be used for controlling the time period to elapse before a selected colour change takes place.
Alternatively, or additionally, a graduated time indicator can be produced by the use of different barrier layers or different thicknesses of barrier layer so that sufficient r oxygen to cause the chemicals to change colour reaches the chemicals in different portions of the carrier after different time periods. The chemicals may be such that they are colourless before exposure and on exposure to the atmosphere one or more of them become coloured. In this way it can easily be seen when the set period of time has elapsed. One example of such compound is leucomethylene blue which is in the colourless reduced form before exposure to the atmosphere and which on exposure to the atmosphere will become coloured blue.
Another dye which has been found useful as the chemical compound is Paradone Yellow G having the color index, Vat yellow 1 part 1 reference 70600 and marketed by L. B. Holliday & Co., Ltd.
A preferred indicator has absorbed on a carrier a mixture of two dyes, namely Ciba Scarlet B.G. (a mixture of Ciba Brilliant Pink RR. and Ciba Orange R; Ciba Bril- United States Patent f ice liant Pink F.R. having a color index C.I. Vat Red 1 Reference 73360; and Ciba Orange R having a color index C.I. Vat Orange 5 reference 73335) and Cibanone Yellow F.G.N. having a color index, Vat Yellow 1 part 1 reference 70600. Both of these dyes are marketed by Ciba Limited. This combination gives a colour change from blue to Orange on exposure to the atmosphere.
Preferred absorbent carrier materials are, for example, filter paper, preferably very high wet strength Whatman Filter Paper No. 115, and blotting paper.
The barrier layer preferably comprises strips of a plastics material placed on both sides of the absorbent carrier and heat sealed together. If desired the plastics strips may be composite strips of two or more layers of two or more plastics materials. For example polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyester or nylon may be used as one of the plastics materials, preferably in thickness not greater than approximately 0.001", together with for example polyethylene or polypropylene as another of the plastics materials, preferably in thicknesses of less than 0.003".
Preferred composite strips of plastics materials have been found to be Propafilm C g. (a 0.0008" biaxially oriented polypropylene film coated on both sides with a 0.000075" layer of polyvinylidene chloride (P.V.D.C.), thus giving a total film thickness of 0.00095") marketed by Imperial Chemical Industries Limited; B.C.L. coated polypropylene (a 65 g., i.e., a cast 0.00065" polypropylene film coated on both sides with polyvinylidene chloride) marketed by British Cellophane Ltd.
Alternatively a single plastics strip can be used as barrier layer with the interposition of an adhesive to adhere the barrier layers on the two sides of the absorbent material together and the adhesive chosen should be such that the penetration sideways through the adhesive is low and is allowed for in any calculations of the time for the colour change. One suitable plastics strip is Melinex film (a polyester film) marketed by Imperial Chemical Industries Limited.
If desired one side of the absorbent material may be protected by an aluminum layer such that the atmosphere only permeates (i.e., diffuses) through the barrier layer or layers adjoining one face of the absorbent material.
In order to achieve longer times for the colour change, a reducing agent, e.g., sodium hydrosulphite (Hydros) may be adsorbed on the adsorbent carrier.
It has also been found important with many compounds for some moisture to be present in the adsorbent material if a colour change is to occur. For this purpose a humectant such as glycerol for example can be present in the absorbent material. Another humectant which has been used is ethylene glycol.
According to one preferred aspect of the invention there is provided a time indicator comprising an element of absorbent material containing, at least one dyestuff in reduced form and which, on exposure to oxygen, will change colour, a second compound having a greater affinity to oxygen and which does not change colour on exposure to oxygen, a humectant and moisture, sealed in a closely fitting plastics strip container of a material which is not entirely impermeable to oxygen of the atmosphere, such that on exposure to the atmosphere, oxygen permeating into the inside of the container is first taken up by the compound having the greater affinity to oxygen and is then taken up by the dyestufi, whereupon the dyestufi changes colour.
The invention will now be further described by way of example with reference to the following tests, which are purely for the sake of illustration and are not to be understood in any way as being limiting. Although particular chemicals are used in these tests, it is to be understood that any chemical which has a reduced form as well as an oxidised form and displays a distinctive change in colour from one form to the other may be used, e.g. any vat dyestuff normally used in the textile industry and possessing these properties.
A number of tests were made using different strengths of glycerol and hydros. The glycerol and hydros is introduced by rinsing the dyed absorbent carrier. Filter paper was dyed with Ciba Scarlet B.G. and 1% Cibanone Yellow FGN. The time taken for the complete colour change to occur in each case was recorded. The results obtained were as follows:
In a similar test a 100 g. Melinex covered paper containing 40 g./litre. Hydros and 40% glycerol gave a complete colour change in approximately 14 days.
A similar series of tests was carried out using 40% glycerol and different strengths of hydros in an attempt to ascertain the conditions necessary to give total colour change times of approximately 14 days. Two different dyelots (A and B) were used. The results are as follows:
TABLE 2 Time taken for complete colour change (in days) Dyelot A B Hydros. in rinse (in gms./litre) 12. 5 17. 5 l2. 5 15 17. 5 95 g. propafilm C 9 13 15 12 12 15 In a further series of tests made in an attempt to produce a constant time taken for the colour change in a number of samples, a number of 18.5 cm. circles of very high wet strength Whatman Filter Paper No. 115 were cut up as accurately as possible into 2" x 1" rectangles, using a specially prepared stencil. Each piece weighed between 0.0910 and 0.0940 g. each. The paper rectangles were dyed first with 10% Ciba Scarlet BG Micro Paste, drained and then dyed with 1% Cibanone Yellow FGN 200% paste.
500 ml. of water was heated to 75 C. and 3.12 g. of Turkey-red Oil and ml. sodium hydroxide (66 Twaddle) added, 1.25 g. of dye (Ciba Scarlet) and 12.5 g. hydrosulphite (sodium hydrosulphite) then added. When the solution was a clear orange-red colour it was cooled to C. and 12.5 g. of the paper added. Dyeing was continued at 50 C. for A to 1 hour with frequent stirring. At the end of this time the dye liquor was strained oif and the paper was ready for transfer to the Cibanone Yellow dye.
' The stock vat was prepared first.
'50 ml. of water was heated to 50 C. and 0.1 g. Turkeyred Oil and 3.5 ml. sodium hydroxide (66 Twaddle) added. These were followed by 0.125 ml. dye (Cibanone Yellow) and hydrosulphite (2 g.). When all the dye was completely dissolved the entire stock vat so prepared was tipped into a previously prepared dyeing vat, prepared by heating 450 ml. water to 50 to C. and adding 0.5 g. hydrosulphite and 4.5 g. sodium hydroxide (66 Twaddle).
The paper which had previously been dyed with Ciba Scarlet was added and dyeing continued at 50 to 60 C. for to 1 hour with continuous stirring. After dyeing the paper was drained and transferred to a hydrosulphite rinse.
It is to be noted that the amount of paper used gives a goods to liquor ratio of 1:20. The precentage dye concentrations given are percentages of the weight of paper used and not of the total dye bath.
The hydrosulphite rinse was composed of water, glycerol, hydrosulphite and sodium hydroxide. The sodium hydroxide is important as it prevents the hydrosulphite decomposing into S0 on contact with water. 66 Tw. sodium hydroxide is used at a concentration of 1 ml. NaOh to 1 g. hydrosulphite.
The concentrations of hydrosulphite and glycerol in the rinse and also the quantity of rinse remaining on the absorbent carrier may be varied to suit requirement. An increase in the concentration of hydrosulphite and/ or an increase in the amount of rinse remaining on the carrier increases the reduction time of the dye. A concentration of 10 g./litre hydrosulphite and 30% glycerol was, however, used in this series of tests.
The dyed paper, after draining off excess dye liquor and drying on filter paper, was added to the rinse, agitated and left for at least 10 mins. It was then ready for sealing.
Each piece of dyed paper was removed from the rinse, excess rinse shaken off, and put between two pieces of Propafilm C g. film (2 x 3" to give a /2" clearance all round) and sealed on three edges as close as possible to the paper. The excess rinse was then squeezed out and the remaining side sealed. It was found that one seal produced a good oxygen proof barrier, though it would not necessarily withstand pulling apart. The time indicators were weighed individually and only those falling within 10 mg. of the average, were kept. (Average weights were around 0.500 g.) By this means it was known that a standard quantity of the rinse had been retained within each indicator.
All samples were hung up individually to allow free access of air. Each sample took approximately 14 days (:1 day) to completely change colour.
The present invention will now be further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a strip of time indicator according to the present invention, and
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the time indicator of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawing a time indicator strip generally indicated as 2 comprises a number of pieces 4 of absorbent material each impregnated with a chemical compound which changes colour on exposure to the atmosphere. The chemical compounds used on each piece of absorbent material may be the same or different. A plastics film 6 covers each side of the absorbent material and is heat sealed as at 8 to isolate the various pieces of absorbent material from each other.
Prior to use the strips are kept in an oxygen free at mosphere for example in a nitrogen atmosphere. When required the strip is removed from the oxygen-free atmosphere and as many indicators as required are removed from the strip and attached to the outside of an article for example a box containing perishable goods. Oxygen then permeates the plastic layer 6 at a rate dependent upon atmospheric conditions and the thickness and type of plastic material used to form the layer 6. After a certain period of time, e.g. one week, depending upon the factors mentioned above, sufi'icient oxygen permeates the absorbed layer 4 to change colour. If more than one chemical is used or if the layer 6 covering the various pieces of absorbent material is of different thickness for each piece of absorbent material the chemical absorbed on the pieces of absorbent material 4 will change colour at different times, e.g. the chemical on one piece will change colour after say one week, the chemical absorbed on another piece will change colour after say vl0 days, and the chemical on a further piece of absorbent material will change colour after say 14 days. Thus a graduated time indicator may be produced.
The time indicator may be attached to perishable goods or to the outer container or individual packages containing such goods in any convenient manner. For example the indicators may be provided with one outer surface wholly or partly coated with a contact adhesive; strips of indicators may be wound into reel form with or without a locking strip or individual indicators may be speedily mounted on a backing strip. Yet again an indicator may be attached by an adhesive applied to one side of the indicator and/ or to the outer surface of a container or package just prior to its application to such container or package, or it may be attached by heat sealing by direct or indirect heating.
It is also envisaged that a time indicator may be suitably shaped as to be received in a slot or recess or pocket or in a container or package.
If it is desired to keep the indicator for some time before use, then it should be stored under nonoxidising conditions, for example together with an agent, for example, alkaline sodium hydrosulphite, which will take up any oxygen present in the atmosphere surrounding the indicator; or in an inert atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen. A number of indicators may be stored together or each indicator may be stored separately under the non-oxidising conditions until it is desired to attach them to the perishable goods.

Ahead of his arrival Kane spoke to leinsterrugby.ie and spoke of his excitement. "It's a big decision but one which I am very excited about.'
"I've had plenty of time to weigh lots of things up and the time is right for me and my partner to experience something new and something totally different. We are heading for a new challenge in life and that's what excites us."
While he is looking forward to joining up with the rest of the Leinster squad in the new season he also acknowledged that there is still rugby to be played at home.
"Leinster is a massive club in Europe with a proud tradition and I'm really looking forward to doing my bit to add to the team once my commitments are done here in Australia"
Coach Matt O'Connor welcomed the addition of the young lock, "we are delighted to be able to formally announce Kane's signing. For a young guy he already has a wealth of rugby knowledge and experience under his belt and we also feel that he has the right character to succeed at Leinster''
"We can also formally confirm Leo Cullen's role as our Forwards Coach effective 1st July. He will bring a huge amount to Leinster Rugby as a coach and will continue the excellent work that Jono Gibbes has done over the last six seasons. As a three time winning Heineken Cup captain he already commands the respect of the players and that won't change."
O'Connor also confirmed to leinsterrugby.ie that Richie Murphy has signed a new deal with the province as Assistant Coach, with responsibility for skills and kicking. Murphy will also be seconded on a regular basis to the Irish Rugby Football Union in a similar role.
Murphy joined the Senior team as Skills and Kicking Coach in June 2010 having previously worked as Rugby Development Officer and Elite Player Development Officer for the province.
"Richie has made a significant contribution to Leinster Rugby over a number of years. In his time with the Senior team in the last four seasons he has developed into a top class coach at this level and I look forward to continuing to work with him''
Finally Marco Caputo will be joining the Province as Scrum Coach. Former Australian hooker Caputo made a name for himself with the ACT Brumbies and closer to home with the likes of Clermont and Harlequins and played in five tests for Australia in 1996/97, scoring one try.
O'Connor concluded, "I've known Marco for a long time and have been impressed by the work he has been doing at the various clubs that he has coached. When you look at our squad we have a great cross section of experience and youth in the front row who have all developed under the tutelage of Greg Feek, and who are all eager to improve and challenge themselves further at the highest level.''
All three coaches will take up their roles from the 1st July 2014, while a confirmed start date for Kane Douglas will not be announced until later in the summer.

more than the overall population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008).4 Yet many Hispanic workers are employed in industries associated with low wages and limited health benefits, such as sales, building and grounds cleaning and maintenance, and food preparation and serving (Kochhar, 2005).5 Rutledge and McLaughlin analyzed 20 years of pooled SIPP data to assess the trends in uninsurance among Hispanics (Rutledge and McLaughlin, 2008). They found that the decline in coverage among Hispanics occurred among both U.S. born and immigrants and was primarily driven by a decrease in private coverage.
Most analysts agree that rising health care costs are the principal force driving the declines in health insurance coverage (Chernew et al., 2005; Cooper and Schone, 1997; Holahan and Cook, 2008). Health care costs—in both the private and public sectors—have been growing faster than the overall economy for decades. In 2006, health care spending averaged $7,026 per person in the United States (Catlin et al., 2008; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of the Actuary, 2008b).
From 2000 to 2006, per capita health care spending grew by 47 percent compared to the 34 percent increase in gross domestic product (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of the Actuary, 2008c). The trend is expected to continue (Congressional Budget Office, 2008; Ginsburg, 2008; Paulson et al., 2008; U.S. Government Accountability Office, 2008). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services projects that total U.S. health care spending will almost double between 2008 and 2017 (Keehan et al., 2008).
Health insurance has been associated with the workplace ever since the 1930s when it was introduced as a fringe benefit of employment (Moran, 2005). However, the rapid growth in health care costs has made it increasingly difficult for employers to offer health coverage for their workers.

2 problems i have had so far i'm having a little difficulty with the touchpad sometimes it gets stuck for a brief second or 2. other than that im enjoying it, just wondering is it worth selling and getting a new macbook. also is it possibly to run windows 7 64 bit trouble free. any tips or advice would be great

I personally would keep that sucker and you got a awesome price for it too. If it shows down the track to be problematic i would look at getting rid of it.
Question ..... Did the install disks come with it ?? Not really important now as Snow Leopard disks sell for $29. Have you SL running on it ??
One other thing is i would upgrade your RAM though to 4Gb outright. You will get performance out of the machine if it has corresponding RAM instead of it being offset.
I will recommend OWC~MacSales for upgradable RAM. I come from Australia and i couldnt be happier with them, and there customer service and on time delivery. STAY AWAY from store to get it as they charge exuberant prices for anything like that.
And just to give you a helping hand, have a look through the 1st few pages of THIS thread as it gives a lot of good info and pages to look at to make your switch more comfortable. These where given to the OP a 92yr old fella and he found them more than helpful. Its easier than giving you a hundred links lol
Apart from that, take it and enjoy
