The year 2003 may be receding into memory, but it's not too late to save money on last year's tax return. Remember the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, signed into law by President Bush on May 28? You probably heard loads about reductions in the capital gains tax and the dividend tax--both of which seem more useful to investors than to entrepreneurs. But small businesses were not left out. The new law also contains several lesser-known provisions that can save you serious money.
Tax time, of course, is fast approaching. If you still haven't filed--and especially if you've recently made significant equipment purchases--check out these four, little-heralded provisions, and take another look at your books. If you have filed, don't fret: These rules will be in effect at least through 2004--so get a jump on tax planning for next year. In some cases, you have the option of filing an amended return to take advantage of some of the tax breaks now.
1. Enhanced Expensing
If you purchased equipment for your business in 2003, you can now deduct a whole lot more of it than you ever could before. In 2002, the IRS capped the deduction for new equipment purchases at $24,000; any amount more than that had to be depreciated. The 2003 law bumped the maximum amount up to $100,000.
The new expensing rules apply to both new and used equipment, from a car to a server to a new set of desk chairs. What's more, for the first time ever, "off-the-shelf" software, such as Microsoft Office or Quicken, now qualifies as equipment in the eyes of the IRS. The only catch: If your annual spending exceeds $400,000, a "dollar-for-dollar phaseout" applies, says Janet Korins, partner at Proskauer Rose LLP in New York City. That means that for every dollar you spend over $400,000, a corresponding dollar is subtracted from your $100,000 maximum deduction. For example, if you spent $450,000 on equipment in 2003, your maximum deduction would be $50,000. And if you spent $500,000, you wouldn't be able to take advantage of this enhanced expensing at all. The new expensing rules will continue through 2005, and the thresholds will be adjusted each year for inflation. In 2004, the maximum deduction will be $102,000, and the limit will be $410,000, so keep that in mind when planning purchases this year.
The benefits of these new expensing laws go far beyond the smaller sum at the bottom of your tax return. They also give you a lot more flexibility, says Carol E. Kuc, president and CEO of Complete Conference Coordinators Inc., a 10-person event-planning company in Naperville, Ill. In the past, Kuc always spread equipment spending over several years in an effort to stay below the old threshold of $24,000. In 2003, she moved her company into larger digs and invested in new furniture, computer systems, and telephones--all at once. "We were not hampered by that [lower] threshold," she says. "We were able to make the purchases we needed."
2. Bonus Depreciation
Enhanced expensing works great if you spend $100,000 or less on equipment--you can simply subtract the entire amount from your taxable income. For those who spend more than $100,000, there is another tax-saving option: bonus depreciation. Under this new rule, the IRS permits you to deduct 50% of the cost of equipment in the first year that you own it, and then depreciate the rest. That compares with a 30% deduction before the change. (There is a catch: The higher deduction only applies to purchases made after May 5, 2003. Anything bought before that date is subject to the old limits.) And unlike enhanced expensing, the new depreciation rules only apply to purchases of new equipment.
But if your purchases qualify, the two tactics can work together. Say you spent between $100,000 and $399,999 on equipment in the last six months of the year--purchasing, for example, $300,000 worth of new technology. Your first move would be to take advantage of the new enhanced expensing provision, deducting $100,000. That would leave you with equipment costs of $200,000. But thanks to bonus depreciation, you could lop off another 50%, or $100,000. Your total deduction: $200,000, and you'd depreciate the remaining $100,000.
Expenses between $400,000 and $499,999 are also eligible for both enhanced expensing and bonus depreciation, though the permitted deduction will be reduced by the dollar-for-dollar phaseout. So if you spent $450,000, you could deduct $50,000 under enhanced expensing and $200,000 under bonus depreciation. The remaining $200,000 would be depreciated. Companies that spend $500,000 or more on equipment are only eligible for bonus depreciation, but permitted to deduct 50% during the first year.
You can apply bonus depreciation to anything purchased after May 5, 2003, but before January 1, 2005. So if you didn't make a major expenditure on equipment last year, and you're thinking about doing it sometime soon, make sure you get it done before the end of 2004. "If you're planning to make an asset purchase in the near future, better to do it before these expire than after," says Sandra J. Dixon, associate in tax and estates and a CPA at Jackson Walker LLP in Dallas.
3. Regrets Permitted
Let's say your business income soars in 2004. Great news--though you'll probably feel a twinge of regret if you took full advantage of the new expensing rules in 2003. After all, with more income to report, you'll probably wish you had chosen to depreciate your equipment--instead of deducting the full amount--to offset your new, higher income.
Happily for you, the kinder, gentler IRS will countenance no such regrets. For a limited time, the agency will permit you to change your mind. So even if you've already filed your 2003 taxes and expensed an asset rather than depreciated it, you can now simply file an amended tax return, make the change, pay any additional taxes you owe, plus interest, and happily depreciate for years to come, says Dixon. This is a huge change: In the past, you had to apply to the IRS for specific permission to change your mind, and it was rarely granted, she says.
The new, amended returns, says Dixon, "allow you to use a little hindsight in tax planning." Still, she adds, the idea is not to encourage business owners to second-guess their decisions. Instead, the government is trying to encourage you to spend your money now rather than "sit around in December saying, 'Well, I think next year may be a better year, so maybe I should buy it then," Dixon says. This provision is good through 2005, but note that the IRS's forbearance has its limits: You're only allowed to change your mind once. "Once made, the revocation is irrevocable," the government warns.
4. Rethink Your Compensation
Here's one instance where the cut in the dividend tax can help business owners save money. In general, dividends are now taxed at a lower rate than income. So if your business is set up as a corporation, you can pay a portion of your own salary in dividends--and save a bunch in taxes. "Before, if a corporation paid dividends to shareholders, dividends were taxed at ordinary income tax rates, like 35%," explains Thomas L. Evans, partner at law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP, in Washington, D.C. "After this tax legislation, if it's a dividend from most corporations, it's taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. If you have a small corporation, you can pay dividends out to yourself and get taxed at the lower rate. That could be a big savings." Bear in mind that the IRS has complicated rules regarding what constitutes "reasonable compensation"; a wholesale shift to dividends could raise a very bright red flag. So you'll need to spend time with your tax adviser to determine whether taking a portion of your compensation in dividends makes sense.
Alas, it's too late to make this change for your 2003 taxes. But even in an unpredictable world, there's one thing you can count on for 2004: You'll be paying--and trying to reduce--taxes again a year from now.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The attorney representing Caylee Anthony's grandparents say the slain Florida toddler's remains have been cremated.
Brad Conway told the Orlando Sentinel on Wednesday that the remains are not at the Orange County home of George and Cindy Anthony. But Conway would not say where the remains are being kept.
A public memorial service was held for Caylee in Orlando on Tuesday. The service came two months after the girl's remains were found in swampy woods near her grandparents' home where Caylee lived with her mother, who has been charged in her death.
Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty and claims a baby sitter kidnapped Caylee.

Many times we fail to appreciate the people that protect us ... our public servants. We want to give a big thank you to the Basil Joint Fire Department (and all of the surrounding area ?re departments) and the Basil Joint EMT's for their prompt response to our emergency call. On May 28, our barn caught ?re. Had they not responded quickly, we would have lost - at least - two more barns and a lot of farm equipment. There were other buildings close by. Our thanks also, to those passing by that called 911. Thanks people.
Just two nights before, the Basil Joint Emergency Squad responded and took Melvin to Mount Carmel East Hospital. Again Thanks!
In 2010 we experienced a pole barn ?re. This barn housed the farm shop and all the farm tools and three farm trucks. Again, they responded in a quick manner and kept the ?re contained to that one structure. Again Thanks!
On all occasions they have acted quickly and professionally to protect our property. They put their lives on the line to keep our losses at a minimum. Thanks men and women!
In the future, if levies to support our ?re department are put on the primary or general ballots, I hope you will support them by voting yes! lf you think you don't want to vote for another levy think twice. You could be the next to need their services. Prior to these two ?res, we had never had any structural ?res in our 69 years of marriage. But in a minute, literally, a ?re can be raging! Say a prayer for these public servants and support them. Thanks Basil Joint Fire District!
Melvin and Leota Trimmer

I've got a '10 plate Mondeo Titanium X Sport.. great car, but its got
a strangle little kink with the audio tone settings.
Randomly it will lose bass/mid/tone settings, all the other settings - it keeps the radio presets,
it knows where it was before on a CD, or its last radio station, so makes
me think its not losing power but something must be causing it to reset
the bass/mid settings.
Its the 6CD/MP3 Sony Unit
Any ideas??

UDF filesystemIn earlier puppies, the UFS filesystem was not supported. The ufs.ko module was screened out as too "exotic" by the createpuppy script in Unleashed. As there is demand for UFS, it is now in 4.1alpha5.
However, Alex has now complained that the UDF filesystem is also screened out as "too exotic and unlikely to be used", but it is needed.
So, I have now allowed udf.ko and that will be in 4.1alpha6.

At last,UDF support! :D
I've been waiting for *ages* to get proper out-of-the-box UDF support in Puppy.
2.17 was the last release where the UDF tools package worked.
Now I can finally use my DVD-RAM and UDF-formatted DVD+RW discs and put WinXP and Ubuntu where they really belong - in the dustbin :)
Can't wait for the next alpha.

Now with his first badge Charlie couldn't wait for his next one. Reading up he learn there are only fifteen he need to get, as the two were pump up for their next match all they could talk about was there next match and thinking up new ways to use Archi's skills, while carol couldn't wait to get to the next town for her first show, to show off her creature power and beauty. As the group took a break at a lake Charlie hope to find new friends to join their team.
Charlie looking though his watch at all the creature located in this area hoping to see if one he might want in his group and would be able to handle Archi, while carol train fringer to show off it beauty and how powerful and beautiful it is. Waiting patiently Archi soon grew hungry and wanted food now and didn't want to wait, tired of fish and fruit he wanted some real meat. As he left to hunt he fails to find any in as if the place was silent and they were the only thing around. Worried, he return to camp hoping they were ok to find Charlie tired and hungry he lay down ignoring the world around him. As got a drink and went to Charlie only to discover he got the hick ups.
Every time he hick up a bubble came out of his mouth and as he walks he left a trail behind, confused to what going on the hang around Charlie worried about why bubbles are coming out of his mouth.
"How cute, Archi has bubble power, hay I have a great idea, Archi could enter and use his bubble breathe and his psychic ability and make beautiful images, he would win for sure, and with his power and cuteness he could became a champion, what you say" said carol all happy asking Archi.
"Drop dead, I will never enter a show with you or anyone, it pointless and stupid, I'm a fighter not a shower" he growled but he soon started to hick up which annoyed him.
"Charlie pleases, you could enter him the world need to see his beauty" she complained.
Charlie unsure what to do, he was scared and he didn't want to say no or yes as they both would seriously hurt him as he tried to speak no words came from his mind then Archi said 'look no matter who you ask I'm not entering since, I'm a battler and also Charlie can't boss me around as I'm no dog I'm an wolf who listen to no one he just my partner".
"I'm hungry" Charlie said trying to end this before it get out of hand as carol was about to speak Archi stood up and look around as he smelt some meat he follow the smell leading the two away from the path into the bushes. As they ran over they found a damion, an fear species that normally seen in pack, they are dog like creature that look like a Doberman but unlike them they had no fur, with grey skin with a thick tail with metal armor on his forehead and around it ears but not coving the snout. Armor on it back and a spike collar around its neck. Spike around it legs with long fangs that stuck out it was as tall as a horse. Many seem them as devil dogs due to their two horns that were between his ears and with their red eyes. As it was eating from the dead animal it was hard to tell what the animals was as it had no skin. Archi walks over and started growling ready for a fight but unlike Archi the damion didn't seem like it wanted to fight as it back off leaving the meat for Archi. As Charlie look at the damion he got a feeling it wasn't a wild star creature. As Archi took the meat with pride not giving it to anyone, the damion whinnied as you got closer you could see it was wasting away.
"Arch that wasn't very nice" Charlie said disappointed of what he did. Archi the throw meat at him and said "here some food, don't worry it a damion they are born to hunt it will find more". He then continued eating growling every time the damion came near. Charlie walk over to the damion and carol stop him and said scared "stop, they are vicious dogs, they will kill you before you have time to blink"
"I don't think it wild, plus if it so dangerous why did it pack away from Archi who only a pup' said Charlie and walk over and hold the meat out and the damion walk over and took it from his hand and gobbled it down and started panting.
"Look it has a tag, on it collar which prove it had an owner maybe it got out' explain Charlie patting it
"Or ran away, star creature don't just leave without reasons and it wouldn't have just got out" said carol
"We should still take it to town, to be seen and find it owner if it stays here it problem, it won't make it" said Charlie and as he patted the damion then notice two puppies hiding behind the bush, both different yet the same. One was a female and had no fur like it mother, it had a very small tail like a Doberman and the ears were down, it had two small horn on it head next to each other and little fangs. The other one was a male who had black fur and a tuff of black hair in-between it ears that was also down, it had little fangs and a small tail as well. With a grey belly and under it tail and a grey circle on it chest and it had a black circle in the middle of it also with a golden bracelet around it right front leg nears the foot. They look the same beside for the fur and the male had longer claws and horns.
"It has fur, damion don't come with fur no matter what they are born furless and never able to grow any' carol said. Charlie put his watch to the black pup and Charlie read out "a damion are vicious creature that like to fight and very territorial and are very hard to train but if don't right they can became great battlers or pets, normally seen furless but when damions were first born they had fur but in time they lost it so it said if one is born with fur they will be very dangerous as they far more aggressive and even harder to train which is the reason the fur one were bred out to extinctions'.
"I think we should go fur damions should be extinct" said carol scared and hold fringer tight in fear of what could happen.
"Hay girl are they your pups? Don't worry where not going to hurt you, where talking you home back to your owner" said Charlie all comforting. As they started to leave the forest with the mother damion and it puppies following not straying far from Charlie side, the female pup was playful and jump around happily while the male pup growled and stared at Archi with hate like he was ready to attack.
"What up with the pup?" ask Charlie.
"Don't you know damion males are naturally aggressive to other males, he probably want to fight for dominance" explain carol. As they walk on the path they notice the mother and puppies were getting slower and more tired as they began to find it hard to follow them. The gang didn't have any food ether so Charlie asks Archi to hunt food for them Archi at first refused but later decide he should as if he didn't they could just die. As he return from his hunt with fish as he place it down on the ground he walk over to Charlie and let them eat it all.
As they finish eating they soon could see the town close by excited they started to walk a bit faster, as Charlie was about to run Archi growled and bit Charlie as he stop and was about to shout he notice an pack of damion in his path ways. It was true damion are aggressive as they look at them like fresh meat. As they look at the female damion they knew they were here for her, as not only is she without a pack but had a fur child which has said to never happen so she was a prize and the pack leader wanted her.
The leader was taller and more muscled, its horns where huge and looks far scarier than the others. The packs were ready to fight as they move forward Archi move forward and growled.
The leader growled and said in a deep voice "come here damion, came join our pack, where the best in the forest and better then these humans"
"Go away, leave me and my children alone I must return to my master" said the mother tired and wasn't fit for a fight.
"You hared her, go away" said Charlie standing his ground.
"Go away human, this doesn't involve" he growled.
"It does when a poor mother is force to join a pack that it doesn't want to join she just wants to go home" said Charlie.
"Listen to the nice dog, and let go before were torn to pieces" said carol scared as she tried to drag Charlie away.
"Yes listen to you friend and get lost" said the Damion.
"No" said Charlie determined not to move. The damion grew impatient, tackle Charlie as he went flying pass everyone. As he got up and held his ribs hoping nothing was broken. As carol rush over to see if he was fine Archi growled 'nobody can hurt Charlie but me" then shot out some water and knock the leader over and as the pack move forward Archi eyes glow white and a wind blew from his feet as his fur went up and soon all the pack was up in the air then was chuck away as Archi went back to normal and said "that a warning, I don't care about this dogs, but if anyone hurt my pack they dead got it". The leader got up and walks over.
"you think you're so tough just because you have psychic ability but watch this" then he shot out a dark powerful blast that went for Archi as he jump over it and got his wing out and flew to the leader and kick him with his feet and knock him back then head but him in the stomach than use his wings to blow him away and said "you think you're so tough, your nothing but an weak dog if you where and true damion you would be much strong and faster I would have lost straight away". Then the damion pack ran off leaving the behind as fear took over. Charlie walks over and carol was surprise that he took on that pack by himself. Charlie ran and hugs Archi and said "thank boy it so nice of you to help this small family I know you had a heart"
"I didn't I told you, I defend my pack and you're in it, beside it all talk he more of a dog then a creature a true damion would attack first talk later and we would had be killed within seconds" said Archi then jump on Charlie bag and lay down on his should like normal and said "I'm tired, now move let get these pets home". Charlie then check if everyone was ok and started walking and soon they found a small country house and as they went to ask if they knew who owns there damions to their surprised the small boy was her owner. As he explain that one day she got pregnant and this hunter came and try to steal her and he let her go hoping once the hunter gone he could get her back but he could find her. He was happy to see her but he didn't know what to do with the puppies, he could sell them or give them to someone who need them, but he knew no one would want the male pup since he has fur everyone knows they are hard to train and more likely to kill you then listen to you, it didn't even listen to it mother and always seem to growl. Staying at the house for the night Charlie walk over to the black pup and said "hay boy, what a wired day, you know you don't have to be aggressive or vicious if you don't want, take it from Archi, they said he was meant to be playful and a child and he just plan aggressive and rude so what I'm saying it you can be yourself". The pup looks at him with an ear up and one flop down. He looks at him like he was confused or trying to think of to attack or not.
"I hear you guys were made to be top creatures, that your ancestor was a great and powerful star creature that fell for a dog and gave birth to powerful creature but each generation they grew weaker and lost their fur but the fur ones are meant to be just like the first litter, I read it in the watch" said Charlie. The pup growled and then stared at Archi and growled some more look like he was going to attack.
"You want to beat arch, is it because he beat that dog, you know I might be full on cheering you on by you see Archi has been train while you haven't so I think it best to hold of any fighting until you get some training in' explain Charlie.
"Why do you care? Like you said and everyone I'm aggressive and meant to fight, so why can' I fight him?" growled the young pup, his voice was so young yet aggressive like he was trouble and pick on, Charlie could see that he hasn't had a great child hood.
"Well he a train creature and you're not, with training I think you will be able to beat him" said Charlie. The pup stared at him as he watches Charlie leave. The group stayed that night just in case the people return and also it was too late to leave.
It was morning and as Charlie woke from his slumber on the chair he seen that in his arms was the black pup, as he jumps in shock and didn't know what was going on because it wasn't there when he was a sleep. Archi ran in along with carol to see the pup next to Charlie, carol didn't know what to think, she seen that pup was a thing to fear and she also though it was cute. While Archi hated it, he didn't like anyone getting close to his partner he didn't know why he cared but he hated it. He growl and walk over as the pup woke up and jump down as he look around and seen Archi growling thinking it a chance to fight. The two attacked one another but Archi had to upper hand and easy beat the young pup without breaking a sweat. Charlie got up and told Archi to stop and pick up the pup and made sure he was ok. He didn't have a scratch or a mark like it was imposable for anyone to break though his coat. Then the young boy can out and ask "what happen?" unsure what to say they just made a little giggle of confusion as they didn't want to say a fight broke out in the house.
After breakfast the group decided to leave the house and began there journey once again. The young boy happily gave them food and thanks them for their help. As they started to leave the young black pup ran out and started braking as he ran to Charlie and said "I may not be strong yet, but I was hoping with your training I could became stronger"
"You want to join us in our travels? It fines with me what about you're Archi?' ask Charlie looking at them bended down at the damion pup height.
"As long as he doesn't attack me or came close I'm fine" said carol
"I don't want him with us, but fine as long as he doesn't get in my way" said Archi mad. Charlie picks him up and said "you coming with us" then Charlie badge glowed and the pup went red and so did the badge and he then went into the badge.
"He yours now" said carol. Charlie happy to have another member jump up and down as he was so happy then called out damion and said "You're now mine" then the pup barks and licks his face.
After that a new member joins the group and Charlie couldn't be happier. Heading to the new town where there first show was held they began to prepare but before they went to find somewhere to stay, they found a store with clothes for creature and their owners. As they stop there they decide to get their friends something for them. Charlie got a black collar for his pup and it had a skull tag with his name engraved on the back of it, Charlie decide to name him demon since that what his kind is describe as. Archi didn't want anything and carol brought a mini bell bracelet for her arm to match friger's.
As they left the store and look at the town which was full of shops and hotels, and in the middle of the town was a huge fountain and behind it was a huge stadium where the creature show was held. As they were able to walk Charlie bend down and put a bandana on Archi and said "I think you need something, since you are my partner and not a wild creature, I even have on tied around my arm, well until I find a place for it'. Archi look at his new red bandanna and smiled while saying "fine, do I have to wear it all the time?"
"Yep, like demon has to wear his collar, come on you two let head to a restraint, most likely an all you can eat" said Charlie standing up and looking for somewhere to eat.
"you and food, I see our money being wasted on it, I wonder why your no fat, everywhere we go it food" said carol shacking her head in disappointment that all he care about was food and battling. As demon walk over to Charlie with his new black collar what blend with his coat and the silver skull shining in the light. As Archi was about to jump on Charlie back the two walk into each other and started to growl and a fight was about to began.
"Stupid dog goes back in the badge where you belong" growled Archi
"Stupid dog? Your one as well idiot last time I check" growled demon.
"No I'm a wolf smarter and free minded not slave to the word of it master or tame I do what I want when I want" growled Archi
"Stupid fish, wolves are in the dog family, and beside went I get train I will beat you and became the top creature of this group and you second place where you belong" growled demon.
"Ha, you couldn't beat me even when I'm asleep, so back off"
"Well then this means a start of a challenge'
"No this mean war" snarled Archi
As the two were about to attack each other Charlie bend down and pick them both up in different arms and said "I think this is a start of a beautiful friendship and team, right ach and demon?"
They both growled and Archi jump on the shoulder and put his back legs on the bag and went to his position. While demon wanted to grow stronger and faster decide to walk and not to be lazy.
"You knew they hate each other and most likely will kill each other by the end of the day" said carol
"Yes but they will grow to like each other it just they don't know each other, now come one let go and eat" said Charlie and he ran off. Carol followed with little fringer running behind, shy even so she was a fast runner and always about to keep with the group.
The group grew and became more full of hope and passion as they were ready for anything, that was in there way, because they had all they needed friends and hope.

The Mediterranean diet
- Published:
- 5.10.2009.
Mediterranean cuisine uses fish instead of meat, olive oil instead of margarine and plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Mediterranean food is the best model for a healthy diet! Epidemiologic research conducted on Crete, in Lyon and around Toulouse in France showed that the life span of the local population is much longer than in the continental part of the country.
The Americans have produced hybrid oil following the olive oil model and the "Healthy Diet Pyramid" is nothing else than the Mediterranean model.
Two food styles
The Mediterranean diet model is easy to recognise because of its semi-vegetarian food with fish instead of meat, olive oil and fruit and vegetables.
In broader terms, there is a collision of two food styles: on one side the western style recognised by its abundance, excessive calories, red meat and high cholesterol, and on the other the Mediterranean model, easily recognised by its semi-vegetarian diet, using fish instead of meat, olive oil instead of margarine and other saturated fats and plenty of fruit and vegetables.
Both styles result in adequate health outcomes; the outcome of the first style is about 500,000 deaths every year of cardiovascular diseases in the USA, while the second has a significantly lower death rate and a far more healthier lifestyle. These conclusions have not been derived on the grounds of sympathy for one or the other style yet on strong arguments.
What has research shown?
Research under the title "The Seven Countries Study" showed that mortality caused by diseases related to the cardiovascular system in the south of Europe are 2-3 times less than in the continental part, for example in Germany and Ireland, and especially compared to the USA. Taking a long-term view, this results from replacing red meat with fish and other seafood, a daily intake of red wine and using olive oil.
Apart from this, the intake of fruit and vegetables, meaning ballast substance, vitamins and other protective agents, is significantly higher in the south of Europe. All studies have clearly showed that people who are systematically fed on typical Mediterranean food live longer. The connoisseurs of good wine may say that this results from drinking wine instead of water, but obviously it is not the only reason. There is a whole array of other, beneficial nutrients that can only be found on the Mediterranean.
The mild climate of Mediterranean countries (there are 16 including Croatia) has enabled the growth of vegetables with large meaty leaves such as borecole and lettuce all year round as well as citrus fruits (lemon, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines), kiwi, figs, almonds, grapes, broccoli and cabbage which are all ingredients rich in numerous protective agents.
Olive oil and red wine
Olive oil deserves a special treatment as it is the largest natural source of monosaturated fatty acids, which are so important for creating the proper cholesterol balance.
Research under the name "The Seven Countries Study" showed that mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases is 2-3 times less in the south of Europe than in the continental part.
This primarily low calorie food contains very little cholesterol and plenty of ballast substance which are all attributes of a healthy diet. All year round it provides a high source of C vitamin in its natural complex with bioflavonoids, a high source of beta carotene, enough E vitamin and finally a sufficient amount of Omega-3 fatty acids that cannot be found in the regular continental diet except if you like fish.
And finally, there is also plenty of red wine diluted with water to quench thirst. Nowadays, it is considered that polyphenols from red wine are the best interceptors of free radicals, i.e. they belong to the group of antioxidants in terms of their effectiveness. Two large glasses of wine a day can have a very beneficial health effect, which at the same time does not cause any alcohol related problems.
If you add protective agents from garlic, broccoli and cabbage, one can talk about an above average defence barrier.
Why are the French less affected by heart attacks?
This question contains the allusion to the famous "French paradox". The term was created due to the fact that the French, who sit for hours at the table and literally take pleasure in their food, do not however, suffer from cardiovascular diseases, primarily heart attacks, in such extent as the Irish and the Americans.
Research on Crete and around Lyon showed that the local food for people inclined to suffer from heart attacks is better than any official medical diet. What does it contain? Very little meat, plenty of cooked vegetables, an abundance of citrus fruits, lean fish and red wine as desired. Do we need to add long walks in the fresh ocean air?

Presumptive immigration marriage fraud
When a permanent resident obtained a green card by marriage which later ends in divorce, an immigration petition for a new spouse cannot be approved if filed within 5 years of obtaining permanent residence unless the permanent resident can prove that the earlier marriage by which he obtained a green card was in good faith. But the standard of proof of the earlier marriage is raised beyond that required when the permanent resident was issued a green card by that marriage. Continue reading

Can you afford not to hire an immigration attorney for your case?
Some persons dealing with an immigration matter such as applying for a spouse to come to the United States, may ask, 'Do I really need a lawyer?', or 'Can't I just handle the paperwork myself?' Unfortunately, the denial rate for applications or petitions filed without an attorney is higher than many realize. The cost in time and money to fix immigration problems that could be avoided is astronomical. Continue reading

Removing conditions on permanent residence when the U.S. petitioner dies
For those who receive a green card through a marriage that is less than two years old on the date the green card is received, Section 216 (d) (2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that a conditional permanent resident must file a joint petition to remove conditions on residence I-751 within 90-day period before the second anniversary of receipt of conditional resident status – count back 90 days from the second anniversary of the Permanent Resident Card. Waiting until the last few days to send the I-751 petition with supporting evidence is a bad idea. It should get to the USCIS before the conditional green card expires. It is always a good idea to have proof of delivery. Continue reading

An explanation of K1 Fiancé Visa Adjustment of Status and Divorce
A person in K1 status can only adjust based on marriage to the US citizen petitioner, not another marriage
Sometimes a k1 fiancé visa marriage like any other marriage does not always go as plan despite even the best intention. Sometimes there is a breakdown in the marriage, a k1 visa divorce and the foreign national has questions for an immigration lawyer about his/her eligibility for adjustment of status and a green card.
A k1 visa holder can only adjust status on the basis of a marriage to the US citizen petitioner within 90 days of admission to the United States. The Immigration and Marriage Fraud Amendment of 1986, explicitly prohibits a person in K1 status from adjusting on the basis of marriage to someone else.
What the K1 must show if there is a divorce
If the marriage occurred within 90 days, a person in K1 status (and her dependent children admitted in K2 status) can still adjust status to that of an alien lawfully admitted to permanent residence even if the marriage ends in divorce.

When the petitioner dies – immigration solutions for surviving relatives
In the past only widows and widowers could continue to seek immigration status despite the death of their petitioning spouse. For many years, USCIS had taken the view that the law did not let the beneficiary of a visa petition get approval of the petition if the petitioner died while the petition remained pending (i.e. the petition died with the petitioner). Furthermore USCIS had internal rules for revocation of approved petitions when the petitioner died.
But Congress under INA 204 (l) (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010) has expanded the categories of persons who may continue to seek immigration status (as though the petitioning relative had not died) to other categories of relatives, as well as to T and U non-immigrants, I-730 asylum derivatives, and derivative beneficiaries in employment and family-based preferences.

Auto Clean
By Doris Schulz
Courtesy of acp Equipment and media options for cleaning automotive parts.
Component cleanliness is a quality criterion in the automotive industry. Requirements are becoming stricter with each vehicle generation, which increases cost pressures on auto parts manufacturers. Therefore, they must optimize parts cleaning.
With the global emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, there is need for smaller engines that run more efficiently with high power output. These engines require tight-tolerance components capable of withstanding extreme loads.
However, precision components have an increased sensitivity to contamination. Even particles as small as 100µm can cause operating problems or component failures. This is why the automotive industry has started defining particle-size distributions for certain parts in functional modules, such as the power train, steering system and brakes. For example, the requirement might state there can be no more than 500 particles on the part ranging in size from 200µm to 400µm.
To fulfill and document these requirements, large investments in industrial parts cleaning equipment are sometimes required. For example, the cost for cleaning technology that meets a specification of "no particles larger than 1,000µm" is two to three times higher than for systems designed to meet less stringent standards. This article focuses on cleaning equipment and media available to achieve new, more stringent standards.Minimizing Contamination
One approach to parts cleaning optimization is component design, because workpiece geometry; the individual steps of the manufacturing process, such as turning, milling and assembly; and cleanability are determined during the design stage. The latter consideration usually plays no role in the design process, but it can cause major problems during the production process: Some parts have internal corners, edges or holes from which manufacturers can only remove particles and processing residues with considerable effort—or not at all.
Because machining removes material in the form of chips, contamination can never be entirely avoided. The quality of coolant and other metalworking fluids influences the quantity of chips, burrs and particles on workpieces. Suitable filtration matched to particle size prevents previously removed contaminants from returning to the component. To assure continuous particle removal, the cleaning equipment must employ a gentle but continuous bath motion.
In addition, a special rinsing step while the tool is in the machining center—perhaps with more finely filtered fluid from a separate tank—can reduce the level of chip contamination. At first glance, this represents an additional expense, but it typically pays for itself through shorter cleaning times, longer bath service life and higher component quality. Removing residues after machining by means of mechanical precleaning—such as vibrating, shaking, spinning or vacuum blasting part surfaces—also minimizes contamination and reduces the load on the cleaning agent.
For applications requiring multistage machining processes, intermediate cleaning steps prevent contaminants from accumulating, mixing or drying on the workpieces.System Design
Modern cleaning systems can fulfill high demands for component cleanliness, assuming the cleaning process has been matched to the contaminants to be removed, part geometry, workpiece material and the cleanliness specification.
The particle limit value of "smaller than 1,000µm" for engine and gearbox components, for example, can only be achieved with a cleaning process designed specifically for the respective part. State-of-the-art cleaning systems use a multistage procedure to achieve this.
Courtesy of LPW Reinigungs Systeme
The workpieces are mechanically cleaned, such as via spinning or vacuum blasting, during the first step, which removes some of the metalworking fluid. The second step involves immersion flooding, where water is injected at 145 to 220 psi into the cleaning chamber below the surface of the bath. The resulting whirlpool rinses chips and contamination out of hollow spaces, such as threaded blind-holes. Waterjets aimed at openings in the component and lances advanced into holes quickly optimize results. Lances allow users to inject cleaning fluid at a high pressure into drilled holes and remove contaminants while also deburring. A drying process then follows rinsing.
The growing number of engine and gearbox variations, as well as ever-shorter product life cycles, requires significant cleaning system flexibility—even for individual part cleaning operations. This can be accomplished with robotic cleaning systems, which are integrated into production lines. Thanks to simple reprogramming options, these systems assure levels of flexibility comparable to those offered by machining centers.
Large numbers of vehicle parts can be cleaned at the same time in batch processes. Single- and multiple-chamber systems, which can be integrated into the production line, are also available for these batch cleaning tasks.
In addition to the specific cleaning process and medium, the cleaning container also greatly influences part cleaning results and costs. There are two primary considerations: Are the parts in the container readily accessible from all sides for the cleaning medium and washing mechanism? And is it possible to position the part within the container such that critical areas can be targeted?Aqueous or Solvent?
Wet chemical cleaning processes with aqueous media or solvents are generally used in the automotive industry. Aqueous media, available as alkaline, neutral and acidic cleaners, are preferred when large volumes of parts must be cleaned and when fine and micro cleaning are required. Their cleaning effectiveness is based on builders and tensides. Builders are inorganic salts, which increase the pH value of the water, facilitate removal of solid particles and increase the cleaning effectiveness of tensides by means of a sort of synergy effect. Tensides are surface-active substances that change the respective boundary surface characteristics. As surface-active components, tensides are capable of "wedging" themselves between the contamination and the material to be cleaned, dislodging the contamination and dispersing the wash liquid. Continuous monitoring of the bath and bath replacement at regular intervals are necessary to consistently produce good results.
Aqueous media are also used to rinse processing oils from auto body parts prior to zinc phosphating, which is a pretreatment process prior to the coating processes to achieve effective corrosion protection and paint bonding. The industry offers specially developed products to reduce the cost of bath maintenance, which is frequently accomplished with ultrafiltration.
Courtesy of Metallform Wächter
Cleaning media, which are matched to the chemical requirements of new, more environmentally compatible alternatives to zinc phosphating, such as ZetaCoat and Bonderite, are also available. These agents remove not only oils from components but oxides as well.
Chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs), such as perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene and methylene chloride, are not combustible and effectively degrease and dry metal parts—even ones with complex geometries. Particles the solvent cannot dissolve, such as chips, are removed with the oil because they are no longer able to adhere to the surface. Perchloroethylene has proven to be effective for cleaning safety-relevant workpieces. These include parts used in air bags, brakes and power steering systems. Due to its chemical-physical characteristics, it's also frequently the solvent of choice for cleaning parts prior to soldering and welding, such as electrical plug contacts, coolers and air-conditioning components.
Nonhalogenated hydrocarbons, such as isoparaffin and modified alcohols, provide good dissolving performance for animal, vegetable and mineral oils and grease, and demonstrate outstanding materials compatibility. They are more environmentally compatible than CHCs.Functional Surface Cleaning
Cleanliness requirements for a single workpiece can vary greatly. For example, the requirements for functional surfaces like sealing, joining, bonding and laser welding areas are often stringent to guarantee an effective and durable connection is achieved. In such cases, cleaning targeted at specific component surfaces may be advantageous. That's because it is often considered too costly to conventionally clean with aqueous media or solvents to achieve the same high degree of cleanliness for the entire part that's specified just for the functional surface.
Courtesy of Hermann Bantleon
In the face of increasing cost pressures for automotive suppliers, functional surface cleaning—such as using CO2 snow jet, laser or plasma processes—can save time and money. A further advantage of functional surface cleaning when integrated into the production process is that the cleaned surface is available just-in-time, thus eliminating any need to maintain cleanliness after cleaning and during transport.
As soon as functionally critical parts leave the cleaning system, however, there is a danger of recontamination. To prevent contamination with particles from the environment, it may be necessary to inspect, package and store them in a so-called "clean zone," and to provide the personnel there with appropriate clothing and gloves.
In the automotive industry, functionally critical cleaned components are transported and stored in appropriate packaging. These frequently consist of so-called "VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) foils," which also offer corrosion protection. Part-specific, reusable, deep-drawn, plastic sheet materials are also used to protect cleaned parts, as are small plastic boxes that usually hold small parts. In addition, these boxes are often lined with foil. To avoid recontamination of the cleaned parts caused by this packaging, they also have to be cleaned at regular intervals.

My son has been attending Brill for two years already and has enjoyed it alot. We have had the opportunity to really be involved in school activities and the staff is very friendly. The teachers that he has had are knowledgable, encouraging, and wonderfull. The only downsided is that he gets to attached to them and is always crying in the summers wanting to go back!Overall I would recommend this school to anyone!

My labelmaker is my best friend!
I use a label maker to keep everything organized; it's worked in my kitchen, my office, craft room, storage space, and bathroom. Just seeing the labels reminds me that everything has a correct place, and makes me want to keep things neat and tidy! It especially helps to keep food fresh.

Never quite understood that nasty tattoo on her thigh – it looks like dog shit.
They look like they're meant to be footprints, presumably leading to her pussy given the direction they take.
I would wreck that.

|Comparison of synthetic saponin cholesterol absorption inhibitors in rabbits: evidence for a non-stoichiometric, intestinal mechanism of action.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10064735 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The hypocholesterolemic activities of pamaqueside and tiqueside, two structurally similar saponins, were evaluated in cholesterol-fed rabbits. The pharmacological profiles of the saponins were virtually identical: both dose-dependently decreased the intestinal absorption of labeled cholesterol 25-75%, increased fecal neutral sterol excretion up to 2.5-fold, and decreased hepatic cholesterol content 10-55%. High doses of pamaqueside (>5 mg/kg) or tiqueside (>125 mg/kg) completely prevented hypercholesterolemia. Decreases in plasma and hepatic cholesterol levels were strongly correlated with increased neutral sterol excretion. Ratios of neutral sterol excreted to pamaqueside administered were greater than 1:1 at all doses, in opposition to the formation of a stoichiometric complex previously suggested for tiqueside and other saponins. Ratios in tiqueside-treated rabbits were less than unity, a reflection of its lower potency. Pamaqueside-treated rabbits exhibited a more rapid decline in plasma cholesterol concentrations than control animals fed a cholesterol-free diet, indicating that the compound also inhibited the absorption of biliary cholesterol. Intravenous administration of pamaqueside had no effect on plasma cholesterol levels despite plasma levels twice those observed in rabbits given pamaqueside orally. These data indicate that pamaqueside and tiqueside induce hypocholesterolemia by blocking lumenal cholesterol absorption via a mechanism that apparently differs from the stoichiometric complexation of cholesterol hypothesized for other saponins.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I can recall a memory from elementary school - 4th grade or so. I felt an attraction toward a girl I knew. Not a sexual attraction mind you, but something. I told my best friend at the time that I really liked her, and I felt nervous about talking to her. At the time, I didn't feel any sort of sex hormones coursing through my blood. My like for another human being was genuine. Perhaps I could of liked a guy just as much, but at that point in my life it just felt like this pure kinda feeling, where nothing else obscured it into something it wasn't. It felt like an attraction to someone who could be an important part of my life.
Fast forward to today. That never panned out, she's now married with two kids, except she lives the life I always seemed to crave deep down, a life of love and family. For me, the joys of life do not cease at the sexual, they extend to life itself, to the experience, to the journey. The power of what you are feeling, this super-orgasm, it may feel like what you have sought all your life. It may indeed be the prize at the end of the rope for many men, a taste of a heavenly existence where there are no problems, only pleasure
But the greatest of treasures and discoveries are worthless without someone to share it with. And not just any someone, someone with whom I can be close with on an intimate level, just for the sake of it. Just because it feels right. Do I need a deeper reason? There is a certain allure to your way of thinking Helixer. I've gone through the journey of self realization and attained my personal liberation. During that journey, I encountered many philosophies, some of which worked for others, and I can see that every persons journey toward that liberation is different. But my core motivation for improving myself to this point has always been women. I don't think there is a straight man alive who hasn't worked to better himself because of a woman's influence, whether that influence was positive or negative.
I'm well aware of cannabis and its potential to give deep insight. It's the very reason people get paranoid - they cannot handle the conflicting thoughts that come from such deep thinking. One thing I noticed is that I can convince myself that pretty much anything is the truth. Every argument seems to have its rationale and allure, and may even seem clear and concise. That is why knowledge is useless. Without several of the women in my life, I would still be asleep in a dream state, a state of mere survival and spiritual lethargy. What about your life? Even if every woman who stepped into your life you deemed as a curse, did they not prompt you to higher levels of thinking, new ways of encouraging growth? Over 1 year ago, I felt like a woman had crushed my soul. Yet I always found a way to thank her for what she did, because she awoke the fire in me to continue walking on my journey toward liberation, until here I stand, free from all power of persuasion.
Ironic that you use Martin Luther King's speech in your post. You see women as many white people once saw black people. You think of them as not human. You allow yourself to treat them with inequality. Fitting isn't it that such an iconic figure you chose to quote would tell you this? Perhaps this is another block in your spiritual journey, one you must get past. But I leave that for you to decide. Women are not my enemy. Women are human. I am human. We are the same. That girl who I thought crushed my soul one year ago? I made it my personal mission to help her realize her liberation to, to whatever end that entails. That is how I express my gratitude.
Think carefully about what you've read here. Are you allowing yourself to be a slave to pride, lust, and envy? Are you truly liberated just because you have discovered this power along the way? Is this the way of your life, to be motivated strictly by personal pleasure? That is the message you are sending out right now. If it be true to yourself, then more power to you. But I sense a lot of turmoil behind your words. Am I wrong?
Of course it's conditioning. And if your views in the male liberation movement were to gain enough backing and become a part of some people's life since birth, that too would be conditioning

Hillary Clinton is standing her ground on gun control.
"We have to rein in what has become (an) almost article of faith, that anybody can own a gun anywhere, anytime. And I don't believe that," she said today in a keynote address to the National Council for Behavioral Health at National Harbor just outside of Washington.
The former secretary of state and senator from New York, weighing a campaign for president in 2016, maintained that she can stand up for gun owners' rights while promoting gun safety. Politico reported on her remarks: The former first lady arguing that the nation's approach to the issue today is "way out of control."
"At the rate we're going, we're going to have so many people with guns everywhere, fully licensed, fully validated, in settings where (someone) could be in a movie theater, and they don't like someone chewing gum loudly or talking on their cell phone and decide they have the perfect right to defend themselves against the gum chewer or cell phone user by shooting," she said. "That's what happens in the countries I've visited where there's no rule of law."
The current laws "give someone the means to respond in the moment in a way that he wouldn't if a few minutes passed and there was no means to inflict harm," she said. "We really have got to get our arms around this."

Armageddon: The Battle for Germany, 1944-1945

In September 1944, the Allies believed that Hitler's army was beaten and expected the bloodshed to end by Christmas. Yet a series of mistakes and setbacks, including the Battle of the Bulge, drastically altered this timetable and led to eight more months of brutal fighting.

He tells the story of both the Eastern and Western Fronts, raising provocative questions and offering vivid portraits of the great leaders. This rousing and revelatory chronicle brings to life the crucial final months of the twentieth century's greatest global conflict.
