Get Started on Your Nonprofit
This month, we'd like to share some information about two databases that are available at the Palm Beach County Library. The first, The Foundation Center's Foundation Directory Online Pro, is available at the Main Library, Jupiter Branch and Belle Glade Branch, and includes information about U.S. grantmakers and their funding activities. The data is updated weekly and has information on over 120,000 grantmakers, over three million recent grants awarded, and over one million IRS 990's that are fully keyword-searchable. The Foundation Directory Online is a key tool for finding funding for nonprofit organizations. Using one database, users can search by area of interest, geographic focus, or another of 54 different search fields. They can email, print and save records and export lists of up to 100 search results at a time into a spreadsheet with a single click.
At all library branches you can access the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants to Individuals Online. This product has been developed for students, artists, researchers, and other individual grantseekers, and includes almost 10,000 foundation and public charity programs that offer financial support to individuals. You'll find information on grantmakers that fund in the areas of educational support (scholarships, fellowships, loans, and internships), arts and cultural support, research and professional support, and general welfare.
The Palm Beach County Library System is part of the Foundation Center's Funding Information Network, so in addition to the databases, we have all print materials included in their "core collection." For more information and to find more nonprofit funding resources, check out the Nonprofit Research page on our website. You'll also find a link to an Ask Us! page on the Foundation Center website where library users can either chat live or submit email questions to Foundation Center staff.

If you're keen for a bustling city that's also beautiful, you will fall head over heels for Sydney. Lock it in now with our fab Sydney hotels! If you're picturing a Sydney shopping trip, then book into one of our Sydney CBD Hotels.
There are fashion stores and boutiques dotted all over the city centre, and you'll love the drop-dead gorgeous shop-lined interior of the late-19th century Queen Victoria Building. The CBD also has stacks of restaurants and the rest of the city sights are right on your doorstep!
Just next door, in Surry Hills, you'll find more shopping – lots of boutiques, vintage and antique shops. It's also a nightlife and dining hotspot. If markets are your kind of thing, you'll find lots of them around Sydney, but the markets at The Rocks are an absolute must. Set along historic cobblestone streets, its unique charm is just up the road from all the skyscrapers and right next to Circular Quay, the transport hub of the city.
If you plan on being out until the sun comes up while you're in town, then you might prefer to book a hotel in Kings Cross. The nightlife really goes off here and it just might be the most hectic part of town in the dark hours of the weekend.
Woolloomooloo, just next door, also has some lovely and stylish bars by the water, as well as some great arts attractions, but is much more refined.
Likewise, Paddington is a great spot for art, wine and food, and intriguing fashion boutiques.
On the north side of Sydney Harbour you might like our Sydney North Shore hotels. It's a great spot to escape the central city vibes and get some peace and quiet, but without actually being far from the city at all. It's just on the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which also means you get great harbour views and riverside strolls. Otherwise, for something a little different and further out, you could always try Bankstown, Liverpool or Parramatta, or go all the way out to the base of the Blue Mountains in Penrith.
But of course, a trip to Sydney isn't complete without a trip to Bondi Beach! The shimmering white sands and clear blue waters are ridiculously popular with both tourists and locals. It's a pretty amazing sight – and just 30 minutes from the CBD. Be sure to walk the seaside track from Bondi to Coogee for amazing views. Coogee Beach is fab too – but is slightly lower key than Bondi. On the north side of Sydney, Manly is also a super popular beach spot, lined by palms. With a lovely chilled vibe, you'll also find plenty of seaside dining and drinking spots to kick back in after those long strolls on the beach.
From Darling Harbour to Chatswood and Sydney Airport accommodation, we have hotels all over the city! Whether you want to sleep surrounded by history, nature, shops, iconic sights or food (mmmmm!), we've got your back.
So get your travel buddies together and hold a vote, then get booking it with our great range of Sydney accommodation below. We also have plenty of cheap flights to Sydney to get you there!

Even though the third Twilight film isn't here yet, Summit is already reaching out to directors to helm the two-part finale, Breaking Dawn. The studio's wish-list includes three Oscar-winning filmmakers: Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls).
Recently, there were rumors that New Moon director Chris Weitz might be returning, but he denied the rumors, choosing instead to work on a more personal project. In the meantime, until screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg's detailed treatment reaches the directors, no decisions will be made.
The first teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse just recently premiered on YouTube, where it has garnered 8.6 million hits in five days. The first two chapters in the series grossed just under $500 million at the US box office.

Improving access of farmers to markets is critical for reducing agri-wastage, controlling inflation: Mukherjee
President Pranab Mukherjee has said that improving the access of farmers to markets is critical to reduce farm wastages, control inflation and increase incomes.
In this regard, he is happy to note that the Union Ministry of Agriculture has declared 2014 as the Year of the Farmer Producer Organization, to enable the farmer to achieve economies of scale.
Mukherjee said this while inaugurating the 'Krishi Vasant' an agricultural exposition organized by Ministry of Agriculture and Government of Maharashtra here yesterday.
Asserting that Public Private Partnerships (PPP) can bridge the infrastructure gap in the post-harvest food domain, Mukherjee said: "There is a need to encourage greater investment by organized logistics players, processors and retailers for developing markets under the PPP mode.
"This will ensure better returns for the farmer as well as industry the multiple strategies have helped generate sufficient surplus to meet the commitment made to over two-third of our countrymen under the National Food Security law. At the same time, they have spurred the growth of high value agriculture to meet the changing needs of a rapidly growing middle income population," he added.
The President further said in a scenario of growing grain stocks and increasing production of high-value commodities, it is ironical for food inflation to continue for long periods.
"Loopholes have to be identified to streamline the supply chains and bridge the gap between wholesale and retail markets. This calls for institutional changes in agricultural marketing," he added.
Mukherjee called upon all stakeholders to make technologies and best practices accessible to farmers, especially small and marginal farmers.
He stated that the agriculture extension network has to be galvanized to ensure prompt delivery of services to farmers. He said the Krishi Vasant is the right platform to interact, deliberate and demonstrate what needs to be done to provide fillip to Indian agriculture.

TIGER Horoscope
Feb 8, 1902 to
Jan 28, 1903
Feb 5, 1962 to Jan 24, 1963
people are sympathetic, kind, emotional, and
sensitive. At movies, they can cry their eyes out! Despite their
kindness, they can be extremely short-tempered. The rage of Tigers is
terrible to behold but it also gives them the adrenaline needed for the
sublimest of bravery. The Tiger is also a deep thinker and can make the
most astonishing intellectual connections, with great mental agility. On
the negative side, they tend to be suspicious and a bit self-centered,
OK selfish, and indecisive. Above everything, however, the Tiger stands
as a supreme emblem of protection over human life, admirable always.
Soup and Oolong Tea are among the keys to good health.

Neil Patrick Harris And David Burtka Secretly Get Married
Congratulations are in order for Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, as they were married over the weekend!
Congratulations are in order for Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, as they were married over the weekend!
So you've heard of "Tebow-ing"...well, now the latest "trend" is "Ricci-ing".
What's that you ask? A new trend started by actress Christina Ricci, where she squeezes herself into tiny spaces and somehow captures a photo of it. So far she has managed to squeeze herself into a refrigerator and a dryer.
This trend seems to work alright for people with small builds, so it also worked for Kelly Ripa. However, when her co-host Michael Strahan tried it...well, not the same result, he's 6'5", so he's not fitting into tiny spaces so well. He tried though, he put himself under a desk! Nice try Michael!
A bit of an embarrassing moment for Kelly Ripa on 'Live With Kelly and Michael'. While interviewing actress Judith Light, Kelly gets her facts a bit mixed up.
While Disney and ABC won't formally announce Kelly Ripa's permanent co-host until September 4th (when Ripa is expected to walk on stage with her new co-host in tow), but multiple reports this afternoon are naming former NFL star Michael Strahan as the one who will replace Regis Philbin on 'Live!'
In a selection process that would put 'The Bachelorette' to shame, Kelly Ripa has tried out almost 60 possible 'LIVE!' co-hosts since Regis Philbin left the show last year. And it looks like she's finally found her match.

I'm planning to make a quilt for my 11 year old daughter, who's currently 4' 8" tall with ~34" girth. Considering 5 oz Apex and either M90 (both Thru-Hiker) or Apex and 1.1 oz ripstop (DIY Gear Supply). The quilt should last her a few years--her older sister stopped growing at 5' tall and ~95#.I've been reading past threads on quilts, and think I've got the construction figured out (velcro or snaps + drawstring footbox). Sizing I have questions about.I measured my own Golite 1+ season down quilt, short length. It's ~66" long (including ~4" for footbox) and 47" at widest point. Fits me fine and I'm 5' 6" with ~ 47" girth.So I figure my daughter's quilt could be ~60" long by 36" at widest point, meaning I can use just two yards of shell fabric and one yard of Apex--roughly >$35 in materials (if M90) not including shipping, hardware, etc.Seems like it will come out ~10-11 oz finished, and be good to mid 30s F.Am I on the right track here? Or will this quilt come out too small?
You may want to go a bit longer, depending on how she sleeps. I personally like my quilts to be a touch on the large side, so that I can tuck them under me. For instance, my quilts are 75" long and 50" at the widest for me at 5'10", 150lbs, and a side sleeper.Also, with your Golite quilt, it has the footbox built in. When you close up the foot of an open quilt, like it sounds like you want to make, you will lose a bit of the length of the quilt. Be sure in your calculations that you note M90 has a 58" width, so won't be quite long enough for your purposes, I think. The 2nd nylon at DIY is usually about 65" though, I believe. I'd also make the suggestion of using both velcro along with one snap at the top. I've tried both alone and neither worked well. I did recently make a quilt that just had loops that I tied shockcord though, and I like that as well, but it is a summer quilt, so a small draft is fine. I haven't done any sketches on this yet, but hopefully some of this helps just as general thoughts.
Thanks, Chris. The .pdf quilt instructions from your blog were helpful reading.I think I will go with 1.1oz shell--the wider yard should be perfect, and for a small quilt, the weight increase vs. M90 isn't significant, IMO.I'm thinking velcro for the footbox. Here's a few diagrams showing how I'd like to lap the footbox (to prevent drafts) and use a minimum of seams for the draw cord tubes.I hope to get started in a couple weeks--I'll post pics of progress/ when completed.
I'm glad you found it helpful.Those drawings are great, what did you do them in?It looks like you have a good idea going there. One last thing I would suggest is to be careful how which way you face the velcro. If you are using something like Omnitape, it doesn't matter. But I have gone back to using just normal hook and loop. In that case, I prefer putting the hook facing outward on the quilt (also only really matters if you have a liner material different than shell). That way, the hook is catching on your socks and what not when you leave the quilt open.
Thanks, Chris. The tip with the velcro is a nice detail.Drawings were done in Illustrator--glad you liked them.

Minutes 04/26/04
Members Present (underlined): Eugene Corbett; Evan Heald; Jennifer B. Wenger; Pamila G. Herrington; Vern Juel; Karen Maughan; Anne Mounsey; Michael F. Rein; William G. Wilson; Don Innes; Meg Keeley; Anne Chapin; Gary Owens; Susan Squillace; Curt Tribble; Reid Adams; Allison Innes; Jerry Short; John Jackson; Guests: Elizabeth Bradley, Nancy Payne
The meeting was called to order at 5 PM. The first item for discussion was the clinical skills passports, and whether a notation of "professionalism" could be added to the passports. It was observed that the passports work well for documentation of specific skills which can be demonstrated a number of times during a rotation, but that specific activities that might demonstrate "professionalism" might be more difficult to fit into that format. It was noted that one of the items on the 16-item medical student evaluation form relates to professionalism/ humanism. It was also felt that students should be given immediate feedback if incidents occur that are not appropriate or are at variance with the notion of "professionalism". There was discussion about whether a specific format is needed to address incidents that occur. Dr. Allison Innes will try to obtain some information on how this is addressed by other medical schools.
Grading on the clerkships was discussed next. The Office of Student Affairs is interested in having some idea of how students "rank" relative to one another on the clerkships. Even though the first year is now "pass-fail", a numerical notation is provided. The issue of using the NBME "subject" exams was also discussed. The Curriculum Committee has recommended that all clerkships administer the subject exam, beginning in July. Several clerkships are using it currently. It was pointed out that using the subject exam does not preclude using an in-house exam, oral exam, etc. as well, and the recommendation to use the subject exam did not stipulate how the result would be used in student grading by each clerkship. Pediatrics is planning to re-institute the subject exam, but is also planning to use a modified in-house multiple choice and essay exam. There are specific guidelines from the NBME for "proctoring" the subject exams, and there will be proctor training in June.
Dr. Corbett, Dr. Nancy Payne, and Dr. Elizabeth Bradley next presented their proposal for clinical skills development. Their goals are to expand the clinical skills teaching workshops, enhance the assessment process, and to develop a skills website for use by faculty. This proposal had previously been presented to the Curriculum Committee. The Clinical Skills Education Project group has recommended that all students be tested two times during the clerkship year on some of the clinical skills that are being taught. It was felt that this activity might be helpful in preparing our students for the USMLE clinical skills exam, as well as providing a mechanism for formative feedback about skills development for the students. The group will try to get additional information about the logistics of performing the assessments.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
William G. Wilson, MD
Chair, Clinical Medicine Committee

Amman, Jordan
We asked Bashar Badarneh, Concierge Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Amman, to gather the savviest sight-seeing suggestions he could find—not just his own, but also those of other local connoisseurs, including some he works with every day at the Hotel. Amman combines a rich historical past with the enticements of the modern world. The city is a jumping-off point for exploring the nearby wonders of Jordan, including the ruins of Petra and the Dead Sea.
Shopping Spree
Amman's traditional souks offer goods such as Turkish leather, traditional Bedouin dresses, gold-threaded kaftans and exquisite hand-embroidered linens. Enter the famous gold souk downtown in the city centre, on King Faisal Street, prepared to bargain hard; gold is priced by weight but the intricacy of the workmanship determines the price. The 50-plus jewellery shops line narrow alleys and offer souvenirs, spices, local specialties such as Dead Sea products, and olive oil soap—and handicrafts as well as gold. And of course the avid shopper will find high-end brands and street fashion at Taj Mall or Mecca Mall.
Dining Out
Fakhr El-Din and Sufra restaurants are two of the best places to experience authentic Jordanian cuisine. Fakhr El-Din, a stone villa located in Amman's second circle and the former home of His Excellency Fawzi al-Mulki, Jordan's first prime minister, serves up some of the best meze in the region. In addition to standards such as tabbouleh (parsley salad), vine leaves and hummus, there is noukha'a (poached lamb brain salad), hindbeh (chicory sautéed with onions, garlic and lemon) and Turkish dolma (stuffed zucchini and eggplant). Specialties are themed around lamb dishes—raw and grilled—and chicken. With its marble floors and soft, tasteful colours, the intimate interior—al fresco dining is an option, weather permitting—gives visitors an inside look into Jordan's upper crust, in a warm, inviting setting.
Slice of Life
Experience Bedouin culture by boarding a four-wheel-drive and heading to a Bedouin Life Camp in Wadi Rum. Far from the noise of the city, you can hike or drive over rosy-red sand dunes to glorious rock mountains, where the gradation of colour changes with the late-afternoon light. At night, you'll have a feast—slow-cooked lamb, buried in an underground pit—as you sit around the bonfire. Then retreat to your colourful tent for the most relaxing night's sleep you've ever known. Ask the Concierge to arrange your trip.
Experiencing the Past
Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad ruins can be found in the Amman citadel, which is the place to visit if you're pressed for time and want to get your Jordanian history fix in one afternoon. The citadel is also the home of a Byzantine church, Umayyad Palace and the Roman Temple of Hercules; try to be atop the Roman temple at sunset to catch the spectacular city view. If you can find time to step into the Jordan Archaeological Museum, you'll find ancient coins and the Dead Sea bronze scroll on exhibit there.

Consider Will Yeatman an updated driver's license. James Aldridge can play the part of a current utility bill.Because in Notre Dame's search for an honest offense, these sophomores represent the two forms of identification the Irish require to go from anonymous to fully registered. Charlie Weis wants an offensive niche. Yeatman and Aldridge can help deliver one.That showed last weekend against Michigan State when Yeatman helped pave the way for Aldridge's breakout, 104-yard performance. With Notre Dame hurting for a ground game, Yeatman turned into a do-everything blocker. He pounded away on the traditional edge but also slammed into defensive tackles with motioned "wham blocks" when he worked in an H-back role.Those quick hits created interior seams for Aldridge to exploit. ...More...

Ron Paulus has exemplified clinical performance improvement throughout his long health care career, so it's no surprise that the integrated delivery system that brought him in as CEO two years ago soon would reflect its leader.
Collecting and reporting quality metrics was but one of a slew of projects instituted at Mission Health, a five-hospital system based in Asheville, N.C., to achieve four aims: getting the desired outcome, without harm, without waste, and with an exceptional experience for patients and their families. Success at these objectives, says Paulus, played "no small part" in Mission Health's cracking the nation's top 15 health care systems this year in an annual analysis by Thomson Reuters.
Investments in performance improvement included identifying processes to repair and continually track to improve both the goals involving the usual industry core measures and other measures deemed a high priority for the health system's population, which is 75 percent Medicare and Medicaid. Patient satisfaction analysis was carried out to the nth degree; patient reps and top execs roamed the floors.
"It's some time and money, but the real value is what you can get out of it," says Paulus, who brought his experience as chief technology and innovation officer of Geisinger Health System, Danville, Pa. "It's altering the core product of our delivery, which is efficiency and outcomes of care. What we're seeing is we're moving these measures in a pretty significant way. I can show you before-and-after graphs of all these things that would knock your socks off."
Mission Health has mobilized a range of tools to find, lift and scrutinize clinical data. One of the systems deployed, which analyzes possible clinical shortcomings to zero in on, originally was developed in the 1990s by CareScience, a company he co-founded with David Brailer, who went on to become the first head of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology.
A special project to detect and treat delirium called for "quasi-manual data collection," Paulus says. Some of that data was bundled into an EHR flow sheet and became part of nursing documentation. "Ultimately we get it concurrently and electronically, but it's still because somebody's capturing it."
There's a publicly displayed quality board in every unit of the health system. "On these boards are the most recent data for that unit as well as the overall hospital performance data. These are very prominent so that patients and their families and docs and nurses, everybody can see them."
Weekly leadership rounds take Paulus and other executives to individual hospital units to determine what works, what needs improvement and the goals to work toward. In addition, 100 patients are embedded into a facility-redesign and master-planning process, and a consultancy called ExperiaHealth follows patients around during their stay to discern how they see their care unfolding. Including patients "changes the dialogue. If you have a patient sitting there side by side with the doctor and the nurses and an administrator and the pharmacist and we're saying, 'How do we optimize this process?' nobody can say, 'That's really just too inconvenient' when the patient's sitting right there."
Capturing clinical information remains a chief challenge. Two prime targets for innovation are pharmacy data for medication reconciliation and turning unstructured data from notes into usable elements. Both use mid-level skilled staff to their fullest instead of roping in doctors to get basic data collected.
In the emergency department, pharmacy techs track documentation on medications. "It doesn't make sense for docs to be doing all this work. They should only do the stuff that's commensurate with their license, training and economic earning level," Paulus says. Mission Health is piloting a link to the e-prescribing exchange Surescripts "to provide 360-degree observation of true filled data as well as order data for med-rec in the ED." The feed will greatly cut into the manual work now necessary to get that information.
The missing link in converting unstructured notes into collectible data could be all the transcriptionists being phased out of their original job description by the rise of voice-recognition-to-text, says Paulus. "They're very familiar with medical terminology, they're familiar with rudimentary components of coding and abstracting. As we automate away that core transcription model, rather than saying we're just going to cut everybody and send them home and lose jobs, how can we transform their work into a more value-added component? They're naturally positioned to be able to take that automation-generated text and glean out of that some of these key data elements."

Termites infest two Marion County school buildings
Repairs to be completed during spring break
Published On: Mar 11 2013 06:50:54 AM EDT
Termites are causing problems at the Marion County School District in central Florida.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports the district's employment services department had to be removed from its headquarters after a termite infestation was discovered.
Administrators have also discovered termites in the new band room at Howard Middle School. Officials believe the termites might be coming from wood somewhere outside.
The new facility is still under warranty.
Officials hope the school district employment services department repairs will be completed by the end of the county's spring break.

Aston Martin DB9
Here to transform how you drive, Hyundai Verna Fluidic offers itself in a new avatar which is much different from its predecessor Hyundai Verna Transform. Hyundai Verna comes powered with both petrol and diesel engine. .
The exterior of the Hyundai Verna Fluidic suggests as if it's ready to pierce through the wind. The bold curves enhance the overall beauty of the car. All the elements that add aesthetics to this wind chaser include the new front grille that assumes a cascade like shape and places the company's logo on it. The new bumper takes a more curvaceous turn and looks much more appealing than the one on Hyundai Verna; the new set of sharp eye headlamps offer character to the body while the swanky LED turn indicators adorn the electrically adjustable outside rear view mirrors. Some of the other noticeable changes on the exterior include chrome exhaust, black inserts on the bumper, combination rear lamp and fog lamps alongside headlights for better vision of the road ahead in tough winters.
The fluidic Hyundai Verna has changed the fortunes of the Korean carmaker in the sedan segment and has emerged as the hot selling one in a limited period of time. With innovative design language outside and acclaimed inside it has put many sedans at bay. Here we put it against Skoda Rapid the premium sedan. Both these cars are available in choice of petrol and diesel along with being priced competitively against each other, as they fall in the same segment. Starting with exteriors, Hyundai Verna's fluidic and glamorous design language speaks for itself, whereas the elegance and sophistication are the words for Skoda Rapid. Here it all depends upon the taste that you like more. While the neatness and premium-ness is more in Skoda sedan compared to urban and up market of Hyundai Verna.
Moreover, features-wise Rapid is nowhere near Verna's engaging and advanced ones. Both have well taken care of the safety aspect as they offer adequate protection to occupants in case of any mishap. Talking about the fuel, of course, Skoda Rapid guzzles more compared to all frugal engines of Hyundai Verna. To end with, Rapid's maintenance is a bit more (and expensive) against low and more accessible with Hyundai Verna, due to their vast network across the nation. Another opponent for Hyundai Verna is all-new Ford Fiesta. This exceptional appearing American sedan has got perfect design aerodynamics to match up with the glamorous Hyundai Verna. The interiors of both the sedans are spacious, but large leg-room at rear seat is properly provided with Ford Fiesta. On the gadgetry part the two sedans are equal with Verna being a bit on the higher side. On the engine choices the vote goes to Hyundai Verna for its host of choices in the petrol and diesel department.

The Korean beauty, Hyundai Verna comes with many engine options of different capacity along with varied fuel choices to choose from, that results in distinct pick up and top speed figures.
To start with, the Hyundai Verna 1.4L VTVT petrol and 1.4L CRDI diesel engine achieve the milestone of 100 kph in mere 10.5 seconds and 12.2 seconds respectively. Whereas, among both the power trains the petrol powered attains a top speed of 171 kmph leaving behind diesel run motor that achieves the top speed of 162 kmph. The Hyundai Verna diesel and petrol engines are mated to 6-speed and 5-speed manual gear boxes respectively.
The next is Hyundai Verna pickup that comes from 1.6L VTVT petrol and 1.6L CRDI diesel engines. Here the diesel one gets acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in paltry 12.2 seconds, the same gets better with petrol motor as it accomplishes the same task in less time i.e. only 10.5 seconds. The petrol mill continues its ruling in the top speed department too; as it goes on to record a top speed of 196 kmph alongside a solid top speed of 174 kmph is attained when engine is powered by diesel. It is to be noted that petrol engine is mated to a manual gearbox of 5-speed along with diesel power train that is coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Now, comes the Hyundai Verna Automatic Transmission (AT) versions that offer a top speed 188 kmph and 168 kmph with their petrol and diesel engines correspondingly under their hoods. There is not much of difference in time consumed to catch up a speed of 100 kph as it gets done in 12.4 seconds with petrol engine and 13.5 seconds with diesel run motor. Both these engines are coupled with calm 4-speed automated gearbox.
Recently, Hyundai Verna interiors were awarded with best looking interiors by a prominent automobile magazine, the opponents included the likes of Volkswagen Jetta and other famous sedans. Hence, there has to be more than something inside the cabin as it takes a lot of courage to challenge the top sedans. As the fluidic exteriors get your mind blown away at first sight, the interiors make you breathe ease with oozing coziness and sense of premium-ness in the huge cabin.
There are dual-tone graphic fabrics designed to get a fresh look of the sedan. These are offered in different shades in various variants, while the leather seats inside are pretty relaxing and comfortable. The seating arrangement in Hyundai Verna is well positioned with proper space in either of the two rows along with decent headroom and legroom for front and rear passengers. Moreover, headrests are adjustable that play a key role on head comfort and at the time any mishap. The 2-DIN audio player has option of CD/MP3 with a handy remote control that lets the control in the hands of occupants and can be accessed from any row. The dash design of Hyundai Verna is of appropriate size alongside premium-looking central console and instrument panel that looks exquisite with supervision cluster. Other handy and leisure-filled features consists of AUX and USB support along with cooled glove box, sliding armrest, power windows among other uniquely designed features of Hyundai Verna.
Hyundai Verna is appreciated by its users for its stunning looks, room inside, 1.6 L diesel engine, transmission options – 6 speed manual and 4 speed tiptronic automatic, easy maneuverability and its segment first features including parking camera, start stop function, 6 airbags, all disk brakes besides Anti-lock Braking system and electronic brakeforce distribution. However, what people dislike is its being vulnerable at high speeds, highly sensitive suspension, only four speed automatic transmission and uncomfortable seating at the rear.
Exterior of the Verna is inspired by the Fluidic sculpture and it is with this car that Hyundai has introduced its fluidic design. Thus, if the Verna has to inspire all the future Hyundai car models, it has to be a role model and it is it, in fact. New bonnet with a swooping down image, new swept back headlamps, L shaped head lamps all indicate as if the car is flowing even if it is stationary. The rear seems to derive more so its appearance from Mercedes C Class.
The interiors surely are much improved than the earlier generation Verna and promises higher degree of comfort and safety to the occupants. Modern and inviting interiors are marked by higher grade plastics and more legroom for six footers at the front and a little dwarfed at the rear. Climate controlled air conditioning, leather upholstery, reverse camera and start stop function besides Bluetooth connectivity to audio system apart from lots of controls on the steering make the drive inside the Verna all the more pleasing. The Verna is also high on safety as it has six airbags along with Anti-lock Braking system to take care of panic braking besides the electronic brakeforce system makes driving all the more safer.
On road driving of the Verna is pleasurable as the steering is highly sensitive and the suspension takes in even the deepest of the pits easily. Besides, the light steering makes driving the Verna in the city easier. Thus it performs pretty well on road at high as well as low speeds. The suspension being swifter, gives a feeling of being dragged at corners, may be due to heavier front. However, it overall gives better handling than the outgoing generation. Availability in petrol and diesel as well as four speed automatic and six speed manual options gives ample choice to the users to select their model according to their wish and driving comfort. Starting at Rs 7.11 lakh, the Verna is as pleasurable to own and drive as any other premium segment sedan.
Hyundai Verna Fluidic has got all vibrant features and power packed performance that its segment lacks, a complete package was always missed in this price range where Verna falls. The praiseworthy part with this Hyundai sedan is its feature filled range that has number of variants to choose from. Moreover, the incorporation of Automatic Transmission (AT) version in petrol as well as diesel powered versions have made it an obvious choice in its segment, and an utmost edge over arch rivals like Honda City and Ford Fiesta.
Meanwhile, the trend of launching AT variant is prospering in the automotive sector, but majorly the carmakers are coming up with petrol AT. But, here the Korean car maker has got enough courage to introduce the same with diesel motor too, which is an ideal USP of it.
While, the exterior design language was already talk of the globe, Hyundai Verna comes with flying colors in the interiors department too, as it gets the title of providing with finest interiors. This was rated by one of the oldest auto magazine overseas. On the other hand, its fuel efficient choices of diesel and petrol engines under its hood make it come up as true value for money. Hence, the consumer is left with no reasons to sideline or ignore this glamorous sedan and move to the rival brands in the segment.

Daily pill easier to take, has fewer side effects than chemotherapy, experts say
FRIDAY, Nov. 21 (HealthDay News) -- The cancer-fighting pill Iressa works as well as chemotherapy as a second-line treatment for lung cancer, researchers report.
Although neither therapy prolongs survival beyond eight months, Iressa (gefitinib) causes fewer serious side effects and may be a better choice for patients who did not do well on their first round of chemotherapy.
"A pill, with less side effects, taken once a day, has similar activity to traditional chemotherapy given by vein every three weeks," said lead researcher Dr. Edward Kim, an assistant professor at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
This finding should reassure doctors that they are not compromising effective therapy by using a pill, Kim said.
Iressa is not available in the United States, but a similar drug, Tarceva, is.
Iressa was first developed by AstraZeneca, but it failed to meet expectations. The National Cancer Institute ended clinical trials of the drug in 2005 because it failed to prolong the lives of lung cancer patients.
The latest finding has meaning for these patients, however, Kim said. "You can be treated for lung cancer. There are different therapies available, and they have different side-effect profiles," he said. "Chemotherapy will never be eliminated, but we are getting more options for targeted therapy; and people can live as normal a life as they can bearing the weight of lung cancer."
The report was published in the Nov. 22 issue of The Lancet.
In a head-to-head comparison, Kim's team randomly assigned 1,466 lung cancer patients who had undergone previous chemotherapy to daily doses of Iressa or the chemotherapy drug docetaxel once every three weeks.
The researchers found that survival in both groups of patients was about the same. Median survival for those taking Ir

Rand Paul revives the Fourth Amendment
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On June 21, 2013 @ 2:31 pm In constitution,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Bruce Fein
June 21, 2013
To borrow from the British sage Samuel Johnson, Andrew McCarthy expounding on the Fourth Amendment is like a dog walking on his hind legs. It is not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all.
In a recent National Review article, McCarthy sneers at Senator Rand Paul's assertion of a "natural right" to the privacy of telephone usage records from government snooping absent probable cause to suspect crime or espionage. McCarthy's rejection of "natural rights" betrays ignorance of the Declaration of Independence, which provided the philosophical background for the Constitution. Among other things, the Declaration maintains: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men …"
In other words, individuals enjoy a natural right to liberty, including the right to be left alone — the most cherished right among civilized people. Governments are established to secure that right, not to destroy it. Accordingly, citizens are endowed with a right to keep telephone usage records secret from the eyes of government. Big Brother must justify every invasion of that privacy, which Senator Paul's proposed "Fourth Amendment Restoration Act of 2013" would require.

Minx Nail Art at Home From Designer Charlie Le Mindu
Manicure Monday: Slither Home With These Haute Minx Nails
Most of the time when Minx creates something for a designer, it's a one off, and you'd be hard pressed to find a way to re-create their effects, even if you went into a salon that sells Minxes. Not so with Mr. Le Mindu's nails, however, which are not only available online in all their wild glory, but also made to be done on your own. They're the rare example of runway nail art you can put on without a hassle. Of the patterns available, the Minx Limited Edition Charlie Le Mindu Snakes pattern ($30) is the most remarkable. It looks just like a winding albino boa constrictor, complete with staring serpentine eye for your thumbnail that's very Eye of Sauron.
It's unique, but the colors are actually very wearable, they were super easy to apply, and they're sexy, too. Perfect for wearing when you want to feel a little cold-blooded.

Baldwinsville I'm writing this letter because I'd like to be your next Lysander Town Supervisor. But regardless of whether I win or lose the Republican primary, you deserve to know the truth. My opponent, Barry Bullis, has been town supervisor since 1995, and before that was the Republican Committee Chairman since 1982. You would think that Mr. Bullis would campaign by stressing his past accomplishments and future vision for our town. But, he has already informed my supporters that he will win this election by destroying me in the press, and I believe him because he's done it before.
Mr. Bullis will try to destroy me because it's the only way he knows how to fight. He forces opponents to defend themselves, which distracts the people from the real issues at hand. That's how Mr. Bullis fights folks who speak out against him or his political friends. And this is how he conducts his campaigns. So I'm not surprised that Mr. Bullis says he'll try to destroy me during this campaign, too. But, why does he conduct himself this way? Why won't he debate the issues and propose solutions to our problems? Mr. Bullis would rather try to belittle his opponents than debate the issues, because he has no solutions and he is the problem.
Unlike Mr. Bullis, I'm willing to debate the issues and to offer solutions to our problems, because unlike Mr. Bullis, I'm willing to invest the time and effort in our town's future. After all, I personally walked door-to-door throughout the town of Lysander to obtain more than 525 signatures on a petition to allow me to run against Mr. Bullis in the Republican primary election on Sept. 13. Mr. Bullis managed to collect only 40 signatures.
Unlike Mr. Bullis, who's lived off the taxpayers of this town for his pension and healthcare benefits, I'm a self-made man. Unlike Mr. Bullis, I put myself through college and graduate school, earning degrees in business and economics. I've worked in the private sector my entire life, and I own and operate my own business. Unlike Mr. Bullis, who has voted himself a pay raise as supervisor every year for the past 15 years, I haven't raised my service fees for years, because I know that times are tough. Unlike Mr. Bullis, who cast the deciding town board vote in 2003 to give himself full-time pay for part-time work, I will reduce that salary by 25 percent if I am elected.

I love warm rainy days in the spring and summer. I love the scent of lilacs. I love the smell of Fall. I love when someone brushes my hair. Are you gagging yet? Well you won't be when I tell you what I love next.
I love streusel..lots and lots of streusel. Who doesn't? I don't think I've ever met a person who doesn't love streusel. However, I know plenty of people who hate the scent of lilacs, abhor rainy days, despise Fall because it's the official end of summer, and can't stand someone else brushing, much less touching, their hair.

Happy New Year! I always like to start the New Year with a BANG, and if you call the flu..make that the death of me flu, a BANG, then I guess I did. Remember that ear infection I was talking about Christmas Eve? That was a precursor to almost two weeks now of misery. I am one hot mama, and I'm not speaking in an aesthetic sense. I'm speaking in 102 Fahrenheit sense.
SO, my holiday consisted of bed rest and lots of fluids. Writing this post is not easy. I write a paragraph..take a break, lather, rinse, repeat.
Three Cheese Broccoli Rabe, Prosciutto and Roasted Red Pepper StromboliSeptember 3, 2012 at 12:00 pm | Posted in BBD, Breads, Dinner, Lunch, Pork, SRC, Twelve Loaves, Vegetables, Yeastspotting | 88 Comments

One of my favorite sandwiches in the world is prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers or in Jersey Italian – prah-joot, mootz-ar-ell and peppahs. When I was perusing through my assigned blog, Paulchen's Blog?!, for this month's Secret Recipe Club..I struck stromboli, and the first thing I thought of was how perfect one of my favorite sandwiches in the world would be wrapped up and baked as a stromboli. I kept wavering back and forth between the stromboli and these butterscotch brownies – because next to being a peanut butter freak, I'm a pretty heavy butterscotch user too.
In the end, I couldn't stop thinking how melty and gooey would work well for this sandwich combination in a stromboli – so that was it, decision made. BUT, as I thought it over, I wanted more cheese, another cheese, like provolone and definitely something green and garlicky to cut into all that rich, gooey cheese. Oh, and why not top it with yet another cheese? Asiago, perhaps? OK, now we've got three cheeses, roasted red peppers and prosciutto. What about the green stuff?

Pulled Honey Sesame Chicken Sliders with Rainbow Slaw for SRCJuly 9, 2012 at 12:00 pm | Posted in Appetizers, Asian, Breads, Dinner, Lunch, Rainbow, Salads, SRC, Vegetables | 78 Comments

We're all familiar with loads of twists on pulled pork, pulled beef, pulled chicken – pulled any meat that can be shredded into juicy strands after being simmered in a sauce for a few hours – then slopped on a bun, which soaks up some of that sauce. I've seen riffs on Asian pulled pork and chicken, but I've never seen the following Asian take on it until I scrolled through my blog assignment for this month's Secret Recipe Club.
Does any carnivore NOT love Sesame or General Tso's chicken? Well, the blog I was assigned, Eat Little, Eat Big..authored and photographed by Susie, who just so happens to live on the beautiful island of Maui (lucky!), came up with this brilliant idea. She simmered chicken breasts in a similar sauce used for sesame chicken – in a crockpot- for a few hours. Voila, Slow Cooker Honey Sesame Chicken!

I have lost $1.40 per week on the cut. Not much money to gain a customer. Most spend considerably more for customer acquisition.
Just to really get you going we ran an ad for a 2 week period this spring for 1 month of free mowing. If you are just giving the free or discounted mowing away and not signing some type of term contract, then yes you just lost money. We gave away your last month of mowing free with the 1 year commitment. Most then signed up for 3-4 other services that have higher profit margins. (this was the point) For the deal to be valid you had to stay committed all season. As well as the last month of mowing for us is pretty easy with very little lawn growth from week to week. This has it being or lowest overhead month. I can assure you we did well with every customer we signed up this way and made money on these home along with increasing profits on existing with tighter routes.
If he charges $10.00 for a first cut the customers that he may get will expect the same price all the time. Either that or they will just use him for that one time and move on and expect to get the same price from the next LCO. it's ludicrous prices like this that make it harder and harder for other companies to make a living in this industry! i can't see how this op can pay for his fuel, insurance, taxes, maintenance etc by charging $10.00 a cut. Sounds to me like he's paying them to mow their lawn! I don't think he will be in buisness very long. Just my 2 cents!.
