Soften Your Water for Better Living!
How a Water Softener Works
The tall softener tank contains special resin beads whose surfaces attract hardness "ions." These particles cling to the resin's surface and stay there until they are flushed down a drain during the regeneration process.
The regeneration cycle performs an "ion exchange." It is the simplest and most natural means to soften water. Unwanted minerals are removed from water without using chemicals. You'll feel the difference with your first bath or shower!
Signature Duplex Water Softeners
CSI's Signature Duplex water softeners are the finest in the softening industry. This versatile model softens water through one resin tank while a second resin tank remains in a stand-by mode. When the integral water meter indicates a need to regenerate, the stand-by tank automatically is put on line to provide uninterrupted soft water while the exhausted resin tank is regenerated. This freshly regenerated tank will then remain in stand-by until the meter triggers another regeneration. The Signature Duplex can regenerate anytime, day or night, without hard water breakthrough. And, because soft water is always available, regeneration is accomplished with treated water, keeping the resin bed cleaner than conventional softeners.

The Sani-System
Like millions of people in America, you may have water quality treatment equipment installed in your home. You count on those systems to provide all the benefits of softened water and clean drinking water.
But if your water treatment equipment is not properly sanitized, bacteria can grow and multiply wherever the water sits, including on the inside surfaces of tanks and hoses. When water sits, chlorine levels drop, reducing its chemical ability to prevent bacterial growth. Filters can also filter out chlorine, making the water more susceptible to bacterial growth.
That's why Water Quality Professionals rely on Sani-System Liquid Sanitizer Concentrate. Specially designed to maintain the quality and performance of water softeners and reverse osmosis (RO) units, Sani-System sets the standard for sanitizing.

Why Soft Water is Better
Water hardness is actually dissolved rock! Calcium and Magnesium can cause scale build-up in pipes and hot water tanks, and cause laundry to come out stiff and gray. When iron is present, sinks, fixtures and clothes can be stained or ruined. It takes more energy and cost to heat hard water, plus you can use twice the amount of soaps, detergents, shampoos and related products compared to soft water.
Soft water can prevent soap build up and can give skin and hair a silky look and feel. Clothes are brighter and last longer without deposits trapped in their fabric. Water pipes and appliances run more efficiently without scaling.
The Regeneration Cycle
After a period of time, the resin beads need to be "regenerated." A brine solution saturates the resin tank and drives off the hardness particles collected on the resin beads. This is how it works:
• Backwash: The control valve directs a reverse flow of water through the resin tank, separating the resin beads and flushing any accumulated particles to a drain.
• Brine & Rinse: The control valve directs the brine solution (from the short salt storage tank) downward through the mineral tank, driving off collected hardness ions and replenishing the resin beads with sodium ions. The tank is then rinsed to remove excess brine from the resin tank.
• Brine Refill: Fresh water is put into the salt storage tank to create a new brine solution for the next regeneration.
• Service: The control valve returns to its normal operating position to convert hard water into luxurious soft water.
Does Soft Water Have More Sodium?
The brine or salt water used during regeneration leaves only a small amount of sodium ions in the resin bed. This sodium is imparted into the water supply during softening. However, it is negligible and you won't add a salty taste to your water. In fact, two slices of white bread have more sodium than a half-gallon of softened water! (See Sodium Intake Chart)

Fully Automatic or Demand Meter Systems
CSI water softeners are available in cabinet or two tank models. In both styles the Signature Series™ control valve does all the work in maintaining a CSI softener system. All you need to do is occasionally add salt to the brine tank as needed. CSI offers three choices in softener systems:
• A standard valve head that automatically regenerates the softener from a timing device set based on the size of the softener and your household's usage.
• A metered valve head that triggers regeneration based on the amount of water that you use and the size of the softener.
• An alternating twin system that has two resin tanks; one in service and one in reserve. It automatically switches the tank in service when it needs regeneration. You are never without soft water.
Sizing and Adjusting Our Water Softener
Selecting the right water softener for your home or business begins with an analysis of your water characteristics. From this test the actual hardness level, or grains per gallon, will be determined and the proper softener size for your home and family usage can be determined. Your CSI dealer will then set the valve controls to match your household requirements for your water's hardness level.
Terminatr Water Softeners
The Terminatr™ from CSI is a water softener with a difference. Utilizing fine mesh cation exchange resin, the Terminatr™ has a much higher capacity for hardness and iron reduction along with providing sediment and rust particle filtration. It's like having a filter and softener in one system! The fine mesh resin bed is supported by special garnet sand providing excellent flow characteristics and reduced pressure drop. The Terminatr™ is extremely efficient providing more capacity per pound of salt and using less water for regeneration than traditional softeners.

However, skiing and snowboarding are now widely recognised as extreme sports thanks to organisers like the X Games and Red Bull.
If you like your sports extreme and prefer a black run to a bunny run then there are two particularly jaw-dropping slope challenges waiting for you in France and Austria…
Flaine in France is a well-known spot for die-hard skiers, but it's La Combe to Gers that you'll want to look towards for this particular challenge.
As winter closes in and the snow gets deeper, more and more resorts open each weekend - and the next one to do so is one of the biggest and best.
Val d'Isere has a deserved reputation as one of the most glamorous resorts in the Alps and everything is gearing up for the coming weekend, as November 28th sees the resort opening.
While winter sports fans make their ski hire arrangements, the lifts are ready, the bars are poised, the preparations are in hand for the opening night party and, most importantly of all, the snow has started to fall in large quantities. The first big storm of the winter arrived in the last week and as temperatures plunge after a mild autumn, lots more is expected in the coming days.
News this week that the opening of Val Thorens has been put back a week may alert some to the simple reality that, however diligently people may make their ski and snowboard hire arrangements, book flights and accommodation and take the time off work, sometimes the weather does not co-operate.
For those going to Val Thorens, the extra wait for the pistes to open is not a long one, but that will be of little comfort to anyone booked in for the first week who has to cancel and rearrange everything.
Val Thorens has been one of the most popular and highly-rated ski resorts in the world since it was first established in the 1970s.
From its superb slopes to its brilliant design and accommodation, everything about the report is top-notch. It even boasts the world's highest zipwire. The only thing it cannot do is control the weather.
This last fact has led to the opening of the resort for the new season being delayed.
Meribel is a great winter resort for skiers of all abilities, with the location being perfect for everyone for learners to experts. That means when you make your ski hire arrangements, you can so knowing there will be the ideal slopes for your own level.
For those who have lots of experience and are very capable on the pistes, this winter might be an occasion on which to try something a bit more ambitious. One such option is ski cross.
Speaking to the Chronicle Live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, Ski Cross daredevil Emily Sarsfield described what it is like to participate in this sport, which involves four racers competing head-to-head on a steep downhill track as they steer round obstacles and try not to crash. In other words, it's Formula 1 meets crazy golf - on skis. It is very exhilarating, but just a little bit risky.
For ten years now, Snowrental has accompanied you in your online ski hire: An easy way to reserve your ski equipment at discount prices in more than 400 European ski resorts.
There is no easier way to hire skis:

Wrinkle creams, eye serums, and other anti-aging skin care products can help diminish signs of aging. To create a truly effective anti-aging skin care plan, however, it helps to start with healthy skin care habits.
The benefits of healthy skin care habits include:
Healthy skin care habits help prevent premature skin aging.
Seek shade: Be sure to seek shade between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and whenever your shadow looks shorter than you are.
Cover up in style: Whenever possible, wear a wide-brimmed hat, pants, and long sleeves. Gloves help to minimize common signs of aging on our hands such as age spots. Sunglasses help reduce fine lines around our eyes.
Slather on the sunscreen every day before going outdoors: To protect your skin, apply sunscreen to all skin that clothing will not cover. You want to use a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection, SPF 30 (or higher), and water resistance.

Impact of Domain Age on SEO and Rankings
Video Summary
Dan Petrovic comments on video by Matt Cutts about the effect of domain age on SEO and rankings.
- Due to WHOIS data being inconsistent across different registrars and TLDs Google had to employ their own metrics on judging domain age.
- First Crawl
- Link Discovery (which ultimately leads to a crawl)
- Historical domain data (they patented a version of this)
- It's unclear but it seems like domains aged over 2-3 months do get a bit of a different treatment by Google.
- Buying an aged domain (e.g. from 1994) will not necessarily help SEO, but links might.
- This could also depend on whether domain dropped out at some point or not as that event gets recorded.
- Placeholders and coming soon pages are OK to have while website is being developed.
- Note: This probably does not count for parked affiliate only domains (e.g. SEDO) which could potentially give a wrong hint as to purpose of your site.
- Content quality attracts links and links are what drives rankings.

Gamesa's 2 MW Turbine Surpasses 15,000 MW Milestone
|in News Departments > Products & Technologies
Gamesa says its 2 MW turbine has passed the 15,000 MW milestone. Since the initial 2 MW turbine was installed in Spain in 2002, the company says that 7,500 wind turbines have been installed worldwide.
According to Gamesa, the 2 MW turbine provides developers with more competitive ratios in terms of investment per installed MW and cost per unit of energy produced, thanks to the versatility afforded by combining a turbine with a unit capacity of 2 MW with blades that come in five widths - diameters of 80, 87, 90, 97 and 114 meters - paving the way for optimal performance no matter the site or wind conditions.
Based on the success of the 2 MW platform, Gamesa has developed a new 2.5 MW wind turbine with a 114-meter rotor.
The longer blade for medium wind speed sites will produce more energy at a lower investment per MW installed and at a lower maintenance cost per MWh produced, the company notes.

We love Charles and Ray Eames and apparently so does Ice Cube – so much so that he made this great video for the Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 exhibit organized by the Getty Institute. Not many people know that Ice Cube trained in architectural drafting – watch his tour of LA and the Eames Case Study House circa 1949 (a personal faveorite). Enjoy…

As police continue looking into the potential misappropriation of funds for the Healdsburg Youth Soccer League, others are coming forward to make sure the children will be able to play.
The San Jose Earthquakes are donating $4,000 worth of tickets to their games and $1,000 in cash to the youth soccer organization.
In addition, Adidas will be donating 120 soccer balls and 150 sports jerseys.
"The outpouring has been great," said Healdsburg City Councilwoman Lisa Wittke Schaffner, who also is secretary for the soccer league. "That's very exciting."
She said several service clubs in Healdsburg also are poised to help out with fund-raising for the league, which discovered it was broke and suspected more than than $35,000 of its funds may have been misappropriated.
League board members are reviewing checks that former president Kyle Hoffman wrote to himself for expenses that did not appear to be legitimate.
For example, Hoffman wrote a check to himself for $3,400 for "taxes," even though the league is a non-profit that does not pay taxes, according to Aziz Zhari, the new league president.
Hoffman declined comment when contacted by The Press Democrat.
Acting Healdsburg Police Chief Kevin Young said Friday it could take several months to conclude his department's investigation.
Young said he is awaiting more financial records from the soccer league to determine how much money may have been misspent.

IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, much has been written about ways to foster creativity in individuals. But groups of people—at the office, in church committees, among volunteer organizations—may need just as much help finding a collective spark. Here are some tricks, beginning with a word of caution.
Forbid criticism. No group will generate brilliant insights if participants are hostile to crazy ideas. Collective imagination can flourish only if everyone feels free of anxiety and full of trust. Before brainstorming begins, a group must insist that no one can criticize anyone who throws out an idea, makes a mistake, or lets his or her imagination run wild. Comments such as "That makes no sense!" poison a creative environment.

Treasury Yields Likely Forming Annual Cycle Low 0 comments
The 10-year Treasury note yield closed sharply higher again this week, confirming the development of an Intermediate-Term Cycle Low (ITCL) in September as predicted by the cycle low signal last week.
From a long-term perspective, we are nine months into the annual cycle following the Annual Cycle High (NYSE:ACH) in February and the strong rebound thus far in October indicates that the Annual Cycle Low (NYSE:ACL) is likely developing this month.
Annual cycle translation has been bearish for the last several years and the move below the 2010 low in August reconfirmed the downward bias for the current cycle. However, we are approaching a potential inflection point in the long-term cycle, so it will be important to monitor the rally phase of the current annual cycle for signs of a translation change. We will identify the key developments as they occur in our market forecasts and signal notifications available to subscribers.

|Gronk got a question or two about his ankle Thursday. (Will Brinson, CBSSports.com)
By Josh Katzowitz
INDIANAPOLIS -- Another day, another couple of questions about the status of Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. After Gronkowski was limited in Thursday's practice -- the big news, of course, being that Gronkowski and his high ankle sprain actually did practice --coach Bill Belichick said Friday morning that he didn't have setbacks and that he "was OK this morning."
Considering Gronkowski participated in drills for the first time since his ankle injury in the AFC championship game and came away feeling fine is obviously good news for New England. The fact he didn't have any negative effects this morning is even better news. The next step: practicing again today and, again, not experiencing any setbacks.
"Rob has worked extremely hard," Belichick said. "He's been in treatment morning, noon and night. Hopefully he continue to progress. He's coming along, and he's moving in the right direction."
[Follow all of CBSSports.com's Full Super Bowl Coverage]
Asked to elaborate on what exactly Gronkowski did at practice, Belichick said, "He was limited. He did some of the things that we did in practice, but not all of them."
Then, a deadpan: "Is that what you were looking for?"
Gronkowski was slightly more verbose after Thursday's practice.
"It's definitely huge, significant," Gronkowski said. "Obviously I want to get out there, I want to get some practice in before the Super Bowl. I want to do as much as possible, whatever I can do before the game. We'll see how I am feeling, talk to the training staff, talk to the coaches, put it all together."

SPOKANE — Walla Walla Community College volleyball coach Tim Toon was not at a loss for words here Wednesday night following his team's 25-5, 25-6, 25-16 loss to Spokane.
Just encouraging ones.
"These are the correct scores," Toon said following the lopsided defeat. "They speak for themselves.
"Spokane played like the No. 3 team in the NWAACC, and we played like one of the poorest teams in the league."
The loss left the Warriors in fourth place in the Eastern Division standings at 6-5, 22-15 overall.
Spokane improved to 9-1, 25-11 overall, and is tied for first place in the East with Blue Mountain, which downed Wenatchee 25-20, 29-31, 25-18, 19-25, 15-10 on Wednesday.
The Warriors are just one game ahead of Columbia Basin (5-6, 19-12) in the battle for the division's fourth and final ticket to the NWAACC Championships.
Columbia Basin was a 14-25, 25-23, 19-25, 25-18, 15-9 victor over Treasure Valley on Wednesday.
Nikki Long and Cassie Phippen were the Warriors' attack leaders Wednesday with a modest five kills each.
Long also had six digs and Phippen contributed a pair of blocks.
Megan Tompkins led the team with 17 digs and Sarah McLean led with seven assists to go with six digs.
Sharsti Goff compiled six assists and five digs.
Madison Baxter finished the night with three kills while Corrine Holbrook and Ashley Magee recorded two blocks each.
"Hopefully we can use this match as a motivational tool as we hope to secure a playoff berth in the next couple of weeks," Toon said.
Next up for the Warriors is a trip to Wenatchee next Wednesday.
The Knights are in third place in the East (6-3, 17-15) following Wednesday's 25-20, 29-31, 25-18, 19-25, 15-10 loss to Blue Mountain's Timberwolves.
"We were able to beat them at our place," Toon said of the Knights. "It will be a big battle in their gym.
"If we can return to simple pass, set and hit volleyball, we'll be competititve."

In addition to leaving a general rating of positive, neutral, or negative for a transaction, buyers can rate specific aspects of the transaction with detailed seller ratings (DSRs).
You can leave detailed seller ratings right after your transaction, or at a later time, up to 60 days after the transaction. If you choose to leave detailed seller ratings, you must leave them at the same time you give your overall Feedback rating and comment.
Visit the Feedback Forum.
Click the Leave Feedback link on the right side of the page.
Rate your overall experience as positive, neutral, or negative. After you've selected your overall rating, you can add a descriptive comment and leave detailed seller ratings.
Click the stars to rate each aspect of your transaction.
5 stars is the highest rating, and 1 star is the lowest.
What you rate
Tips for rating
How accurate was the item description?
Review the item title, description, and condition to see if they match the item you received.
How satisfied were you with the seller's communication?
Recall whether the seller addressed any questions or concerns that you had, and did so in a professional manner.
Consider only business days when evaluating the timeliness of the seller's communication (sellers might not check email on weekends and holidays).
If the seller met specific requirements, the seller automatically receives a 5-star communication detailed seller rating, and you won't be able to change the rating.
How quickly did the seller ship the item?
Rate the seller only on the time it took to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item.
Don't hold sellers responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays, or for the time it takes for your payment to clear. If you picked up the item locally, you won't be able to provide a rating for this category.
If the seller met specific requirements, the seller automatically receives a 5-star shipping time detailed seller rating and you won't be able to provide a rating for this category.
Note: If we determine at a later date that the seller met the requirements for an automatic 5-star shipping time rating, we may adjust the rating to 5 stars.
How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges?
Remember that sellers may charge for the cost of the actual packaging materials, along with a reasonable handling fee to cover the seller's time and direct costs associated with shipping.
If the seller provided free shipping, the seller automatically receives a 5-star shipping and handling charges detailed seller rating, and you won't be able to change the rating.
For international transactions, buyers are expected to pay duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees as required by country laws.
If you picked up the item locally, you won't be able to provide a rating for this category.
Note: Transactions in Motors vehicle categories aren't rated on shipping time and shipping and handling charges, because vehicle shipping is typically arranged by the buyer.
To find a seller's detailed seller ratings, click the number in parentheses next to the seller's username. You can see the detailed seller ratings in the seller's Feedback Profile. When a seller has enough ratings, you'll see stars that show the seller's average rating. Read below to see
how the ratings are calculated.
Tip for sellers:
Visit your Seller Dashboard to see how your buyers have rated you. You'll see your ratings and find out how they compare to those of other eBay sellers.
The detailed seller rating system is based on a 1- to 5-star scale. 5 stars is the highest rating, and 1 star is the lowest. Detailed seller ratings don't affect a seller's overall Feedback score, but we take some of these ratings into account when we evaluate seller performance, including seeing to see if they're eligible for discounts and other benefits.
Average ratings are computed on a rolling 12-month basis and appear only when a seller has received at least 5 ratings. If a seller hasn't received at least 5 ratings in a category, the average rating won't appear.
Buyers can leave Feedback for a seller for more than one purchase. However, to make sure that the additional Feedback is calculated, each item must be purchased in a different week. For Feedback purposes, we define a week as Monday through Sunday, Pacific Time.
Low detailed seller ratings in some areas may impact your seller performance, and providing great customer service can help. Learn more about seller performance standards.
If you're a seller, use these suggestions to help you improve your seller rating or maintain a high rating:
Write descriptions that include the relevant details about your items.
Be accurate and mention all defects. Write as if there were no pictures, so you leave no doubt in buyers' minds about what they're getting.
Don't describe reconditioned or refurbished items as "new." When buyers see the word "new," they expect new, not "like new."
Use plenty of pictures and show your items from multiple angles.
If you're listing a used item, include a picture of the actual item, not a generic or stock photo.
Fill out item specifics as much as possible and include important details like size, weight, colour, and quantity.
Format your description so buyers can read it easily. Use bullets, bold headings, and simple paragraphs.
In your listings, spell out your policies and how buyers can reach you. Tell your buyers how quickly they can expect a response, and follow through on the expectations you set.
Create automatic communications to give buyers updates on their item. For example, in Selling Manager Pro and other selling tools, you can create an automatic message, such as "Thank you for the order and the quick payment. Your item shipped today!"
Respond to emails and phone calls quickly.
Include answers to frequently asked questions in your listings to help avoid routine inquiries.
Stay calm and keep an open mind in all your communications with buyers. When treated with courtesy and consideration, even the most disgruntled buyer can become a loyal customer.
By meeting certain shipping conditions, you can receive an automatic 5-star detailed seller rating for shipping time.
Offer either same business day or 1 business-day handling whenever you can. Offer handling times that are longer than 1 day only for exceptions and special items.
Specify your shipping policies in the shipping details section of your listing.
Be specific about the shipping services you offer, including delivery time for each service.
Offer a shipping service that provides tracking numbers. Tracking is an important way for you and your buyers to monitor your shipments.
Print your shipping labels on eBay or PayPal. When you purchase the label, you can also purchase insurance for your shipment. And you and your buyer will automatically receive an email with the date you shipped the item and the tracking number.
Even though it's not required, we recommend that you purchase shipping insurance or use a shipping service that offers loss and damage protection. You can add the cost of the insurance to the handling fee or item price.
Offer free shipping. If we can confirm that a buyer chose your free shipping option, you'll automatically receive a 5-star shipping and handling charges rating, plus you'll attract new buyers, and your listing may receive more visibility in search.
Specify details such as service and cost in the shipping details section of your listing.
Use calculated shipping so buyers can determine the actual shipping cost to their location.
Offer discounts for shipping multiple items in one order. Your customer will see other items you have for sale, save on shipping, and most likely leave you a great rating.
Provide details about any handling or packaging costs in the item description.

Does the Consumer City Cause Productivity Growth?
Read this article about why startups locate in Santa Monica on the beach. The great quality of life in this Los Angeles city attracts these young people and also acts as a co-ordinating device. Young hipsters with ideas know that others like them are gathering in this location. Add in the glamour of Hollywood and Los Angeles has a nascent new economic brewing. Note that government is only needed here to provide street safety and good infrastructure. No tax breaks are needed. Will the middle class gain from this movement? Yes, in terms of a local multiplier effect for rising demand for service jobs. As the economy evolves, people have to be ready to adapt. If they can't, who has the problem?

System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager
The Infrastructure Planning and Design team is working on a new guide: System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager. Join the beta now.
Download the System Center 2012 – Virtual Machine Manager Beta Infrastructure Planning and Design Guide.
This guide outlines the elements that are crucial to an optimized design of Virtual Machine Manager. It leads you through a process of identifying the business and technical requirements for managing virtualization, designing integration with Operations Manager if required, and then determining the number, size, and placement of the VMM servers. This guide helps you to confidently plan for the centralized administration of physical and virtual machines.
Please send your comments and feedback to email@example.com.
Planning the next generation of technical infrastructure for corporations can be a complex and daunting task. The success of any infrastructure is measured in how well the design choices match business objectives. Although plenty of product documentation is available, it can be difficult to find guidance on how to appropriately plan the core infrastructure for an organization. The Infrastructure Planning and Design series is designed to present the technical decision maker with the most concise planning guidance for Microsoft technologies. It also provides a means to validate design decisions to ensure that the selected solution meets the requirements of both business and IT stakeholders.
The IPD documents are designed to be used by the following IT personnel:
· Infrastructure planners and architects who have a firm operational grasp of the technology.
· Partners and consultants who design infrastructure solutions.
· Business managers who wish to understand how the technology decisions being made both support and affect the business.
Tell your peers about IPD guides! Please forward this mail to anyone who wants to learn more about Infrastructure Planning and Design guides.

Hello,I would like to share the guest blog post I had over at The Taylor House last week.
This was my first ever guest post and I was more then excited and thankful!
So here it is the tutorial on how you can make your very on
First Birthday Onesie Tulle.
So here it is the tutorial on how you can make your very on
First Birthday Onesie Tulle.
I made this for Hannah's first birthday !I made one with no 3 on it for big sister Emma as well.They are simple to make as I used hot glue instead of needle and thread because it works faster and after the party they went straight in the Memory Box.
Here is what you need :
tulle(net)in the color you like,
some felt in the same or similar color as your tulle
hot glue
your onesie or t-shirt .
Start by cutting out 60-80 circles of tulle .(if you think you will need more you can cut as you go) ...it works faster if you fold your fabric as many times as you can and then cut out your circles,don't worry about the uneven edges they won't show in your finished design.
Draw the number on your felt and cut it out - this works as a base for your tulle.
Fold your circle in half and then fold it again and start to glue it down to your felt base.Make it as big or as ruffled as you want.
Now glue it to the onesie and you are done.
Easy right?
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!
Have a great birthday!:)

text: Denmark's Economic Savior: Cheaper Soda Nation is scrapping its soda tax to encourage spending By Mark Russell, Newser Staff Posted Apr 27, 2013 5:10 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (13) (Newser) – It's a policy that would make New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg gag. Over in Denmark, politicians are repealing their country's tax on sodas (and beer), in an effort to give their struggling economy some fizz, reports Der Spiegel. The soda tax will be cut in half in July, then eliminated altogether next year. No reports on how much soda the Danes drink, but Denmark's finance minister said cutting the soda tax would provide a "powerful growth spurt" to the economy. Denmark instituted the soda tax, along with a tax on saturated fats, to promote healthy living. But with a tax of 52 cents for a 1.5-liter bottle, Danes have been traveling across the border to Germany to buy much of their soda. With their economy slowing down, Danish politicians want that money to stay at home. Oh, and that saturated fat tax? It was struck down last month, in part to protect jobs. Denmark instituted a soda tax to encourage healthy eating, but now politicians say they would rather have the money.

February 6th, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) The dollar continued to make significant gains against a falling colon, gaining an additional ¢5.38 yesterday alone.
The latest gains puts at ¢22 – or 4.3% – the dollar's gain against the colon since January 2nd .
In retail banks yesterday, prices ranged between ¢513 and ¢520, and sale prices ranged between ¢528 and ¢532.
This morning the Central Bank reference rate stood at ¢514.76 (buy) and ¢529.39 (sell).
Trend could continue
Costa Rica's vice president, Luis Liberman said the government will not sell large amounts of US dollars into the currency market, at least for the next six months, when the current government leaves power.
In the past, the government has sold large sums of dollars into the market in order to meet the government's own currency exchange needs – namely, it receives foreign loans in dollars and exchanges a significant amount of them to colons. Now, Liberman says the government will not be making any large foreign exchanges for the remainder of the current government. With less supply of government-sold dollars in the market, the dollar is likely to continue to gain ground against the colon, at least in the near term.

I`m just going to go ahead and admit it: earthquakes terrify me! Every time I see one on the news, my hair stands up on my arm. I can`t help imagining what it`s like to get up in the middle of the night because your whole house is jumping up and down around you…
And the noise! The noise of furniture banging against the walls… plates, glasses and pots dinging in the kitchen… windows vibrating… and the voice of your frightened children crying for help. I got a cold shiver down my back just by writing this!
I tried to picture how I`d react if my house was just about to crash over me and my family… but I wasn`t very happy with the result. Just like most people, I`d probably freak out and do exactly what I shouldn`t: run down the stairs to get the kids and then go straight out the door and stop in front of the house, where approximately 100 things can fall on me, starting with the house walls and ending with the tree in my yard.
So what`s a man to do when he realises he`s not as prepared for a disaster as Bruce Willis? Well, I don`t know what you`d do… but I started researching earthquake survival like there was no tomorrow. Here`s a brief of what I found:
What you should do before an earthquake:
– Get informed! Read more articles, books or courses on earthquake survival. And watch some documentaries about the biggest earthquakes in history. You`ll notice a whole lot of deadly mistakes you can avoid.
– Tell your family all about earthquake survival. Of course you`ll do everything to protect them if a disaster hits your area, but you`re not a superhero. There are times when you can`t reach your family to provide help. So help them help themselves. It`s the best thing you can do for your loved ones.
– Bullet-proof your home. According to The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, here`s what you need to do to get a secure home, that won`t crash on you at the first shake.
- Bolt bookshelves, water heaters and cabinets to wall studs.
- Anchor things so they don`t move or fall during an earthquake.
- Move cabinets and tall furniture to keep them from falling on you or other family members. Anchor them to studs in the wall with steel angle brackets.
- Put heavy or breakable things on bottom shelves. You can even put "fences" or restraining wires to keep items from falling off open shelves.
- Put child-proof or swing-hook latches on bathroom and kitchen cabinets.
- Use screw-eyes or tongue-in-groove hangers to mount mirrors or pictures instead of hanging them on nails.
- Be sure that ceiling fans and light fixtures are well anchored or have earthquake safety wiring.
- Anchor computers, televisions, stereos and like items with heavy duty Velcro, at home and at work.
- Strap your water heater to anchor it to wall studs.
- Do not assume that anything is too heavy to move in an earthquake. When the ground is going up and down in waves, it bounces even the heaviest equipment into the air.
Enough survival techniques for today, hope you`ll start using them to protect your family against disasters. I`ll be back with more earthquake survival strategies next time, so make sure you don`t miss it! Might save your life one day.
Until then, check out www.myfamilysurvivalplan.com for more practical information on all kinds of survival topics. Enjoy!

SIGNED Copy of Beyond Bacon GIVEAWAY!
June 29, 2013 in Categories: Giveaways by ThePaleoMom
If you read my most recent newsletter, you already know that I'm flying to Virginia this coming week for the Beyond Bacon Release Party! I am so exited to be able to go and show my support for such a fabulous book (you can read my full review here) and for such fabulous friends (who I will actually get to meet for the very first time! crazy!). The Release Party is public (more info here); so if you live in the area, feel free to come by. You can get your copy of Beyond Bacon signed (you can bring your own copy or buy one there) by both the authors (Stacy Toth and Matthew McCarry of www.PaleoParents.com) and the photographer (Aimee Buxton). Plus, you can meet me and the other paleo bloggers/authors (or as Stacy likes to call us "weblebrities") who are attending! How fun!
You already know that I love, love, love Beyond Bacon. Since my review, I've made three more recipes from the book and loved all of them. Plus, this very morning, I am picking up half a pig from my local farmer who actually switched processors since the last half pig I bought from him so that I could get all the "fun stuff" (I guess I really made a fuss when the previous processor threw out all of the offal). I don't feel intimidated at all by the idea of new cuts, organs, etc. that I've never cooked before because Beyond Bacon has a recipe for everything. But, don't think that this book is all about organ meat. 95% of the recipes are standard fare, or more accurately: ridiculously delicious recipes for pork chops, roasts, ground pork, and various delights cooked with bacon and lard (side dishes, fried deliciousness, and amazing desserts too!). Did I mention there's over 100 amazing recipes?
Okay, so what you might not already know is that, sitting on my desk as I type, is a copy of Beyond Bacon to GIVE AWAY to one of my readers. And, I'm going to do one better. I'm going to bring this copy of Beyond Bacon with me to Virginia to get it signed! AND, I'm going to get Matt, Stacy and Aimee Buxton, the genius photographer who did all of the photography for Beyond Bacon, all to sign it. How cool is that?! One lucky person is going to win a book that has quite a story behind it. By the way, I will ship this book to wherever you live, so anyone can enter!
If you've already ordered a copy of Beyond Bacon or if you order one as one of the ways that you can enter this giveaway, rest assured that if you do win, you can give your unsigned regular copy away as a gift to someone you love (or, I guess you could return it, but where's the fun in that?!).

a Brute
David King
Bang Rock & Roll (Downtown)
I went around punching every-one who didnt like my band,
Id be a very tired man, said Art Brut singer Eddie Argos.
In actuality, the result of everyone who doesnt like Art
Brut punching Argos would likely be a bit more drastic: Hed
probably be dead.
You see, Argos dry wit and sarcastic saunter dont win him
a lot of friends. People seem to have a hard time relating
to love ballads about a shade of blue on a work of modern
art. I just cant help myself! Modern art makes me want to
rock out!
Argos Johnny Rotten-meets-Jarvis Cocker spoken-word singing
leaves a lot of listeners questioning not only his sincerity,
but also his talent. It probably irks them more that Argos
takes time to address it in his bands new album, Bang
Bang Rock & Roll. And, yes, this is my singing voice.
Its not irony, its not rock & roll. Were just talking
to the kids, Argos sarcastically states fairly early on in
the album opener, Formed a Band.
It doesnt help that Argos band swing between semi-serious
art-rock noise to straightforward, repetitive, poppy punk
hooks delivered in a lazy, if not uninterested, fashion. That
is not to say Bang Bang Rock & Roll is a
bad album. In fact, it is one of the most exciting, entertaining
pieces of pure pop rock Ive heard in years.
The albums strength comes largely because of its greatest
failure: Argos struggle to define his band while swimming
in a sea of irony and sarcasm, filtered through the drain
of pop music.
Argoss manic, tandem self-love and self-doubt collide on
Formed a Band: Honey Pie, stop buying records at the supermarket!
They only sell records that have charted, and Art Brut, well,
weve only just started! followed by We are gonna be the
band that writes the song that makes Israel and Palestine
get along!
Argos conflict with definition might actually be the theme
of Bang Bang Rock & Roll. He rejects all he shouldnt
like, while simultaneously rejecting all that he should. On
the title track, Argos announces in a punk sneer, I cant
stand the sound of the Velvet Underground. I cant stand that
sound the second time around! while his bandmates chant White
Light! White Heat! Later in the song, he laments, I dont
want any more songs about sex, drugs and rock & roll.
They are boooring. And in Bad Weekend (not to be mistaken
for Really Bad Weekend), Argos lays his torment bare for
world to see: I havent read the NME in so long dont
know what genre we belong! Popular culture no longer applies
to me.
Charlatans UK
The Charlatans UK are still around? Its been, like, 15 years
since they got any airplay in the United States. Their new
(and ninth!) studio album isnt too far removed from the danceable
drone that made them semi-superstars in the Madchester heyday.
And for the first 4:19the length of album opener Blackened
Blue EyesSimpatico. has bite, promise even. A rolling,
two-note piano riff intersects with a choppy, reverb-drenched
guitar lick, and singer Tim Burgess sounds like a less-clenched
Liam Gallagher as he sings There wont be a dry eye in the
house tonight.
Theyre not crying tears of joy.
benefits from having a decent hook (they knew enough to place
it first); most others do not. Burgess has reportedly been
up to his hips in a reggae fixation in recent years, and his
band attempt a middling Rockers rhythm on several songs. For
Your Entertainment and City of the Dead are weak, but passable;
Road to Paradise starts strong, goes nowhere. Glory Glory
is a stiff country plunker that bites (by the bands own admission)
Gram Parsons $1000 Wedding.
A few songs rise above the muck. Muddy Ground has one of
those aforementioned hooks, albeit a tried one; When the
Lights Go Out in London sounds like a Hard-Fi B-side. The
albums best track, the reggae-infused The Architect, features
the clever line Last night . . . an architect saved my life
against moody backing chorus and theremin. It plays like the
closing credits from Baz Luhrmanns Romeo + Juliet:
Remember how that Radiohead song almost made it seem like
the preceding film wasnt a total waste? But it was, and the
Charlatans decision to include fundamentally shaky songs
like NYC and Dead Mans Eye on Simpatico. suggests
a band near the end of their daysalthough they were basically
a singles act to begin with, and theyve at least got one
of those here.
Ruin (Quarter Stick)
On Garden Ruin (Calexicos seventh album), mainstays
Joey Burns and John Convertino drop the soundtrack-to-a- Southwestern-noir-film
style that previously has been their reason for being, and
go full-out L.A. singer-songwriter, circa 1976. The band negate
a possible lapse into soft-rock pap by coming up with some
of the strongest songs of their storied career. Tunes like
Bisbee Blue and Lucky Dime find middle ground between
crunchy granola and the Beatles, mandolins and banjos rubbing
up against cheery cello and horn parts. Yours and Mine is
the albums best ballad, similar in feel to the stripped-down
but lush romanticism of M. Ward (the two acts have toured
together), while Panic Open String seems directly inspired
by Calexicos recent collaboration with Iron and Wine. The
sultry Roka is a welcome return to the bands Latin roots,
with Spanish chanteuse Amparo Sanchez and mariachi horns giving
the song an added stamp of authenticity.
Lyrically, there is a world-weariness and sense of disappointment
that makes the album feel bracingly contemporaryon opening
song Cruel, Birds refuse to fly/No longer trust the sky
while the closing (and best song) All Systems Red tells
of fortitude in the face of those who would rather just abandon
what they see as a hopeless situation. As the song builds
to a swaying ship of guitar feedback over Convertinos martial
beat, Burns finally lets the passion rip through his voice:
When the dread is flowing down my veins/I want to tear it
all down and build it up again. With smart musicianship and
winning melodies, on Garden Ruin Calexico have come
up with a fine salve for healing the wounded.

Last week (April 21-27), law enforcement and victim advocates marked National Crime Victims' Rights Week here in New Jersey and throughout the country. We strive all year to reaffirm New Jersey's commitment to enforce victims' rights and address their needs, but the week shines a spotlight on these issues.
This year's theme, "New Challenges/New Solutions," encouraged us to focus on prevalent concerns such as mass shootings, human trafficking and elder fraud. My office is deeply engaged on all these fronts.
Last August, Gov. Chris Christie signed "Alex DeCroce's Law," which updates and strengthens New Jersey's existing Crime Victims Bill of Rights. In that same spirit, I have made fighting human trafficking a top priority for my office. Gov. Christie agrees.
Last year, I directed law enforcement to increase prosecutions of human trafficking and to rescue victims, and I created a new Human Trafficking Unit, which has already made significant arrests.
Through a partnership between law enforcement and houses of worship, we have been able to sponsor gun buybacks across New Jersey in communities including Camden, Trenton, Newark, Irvington, East Orange, Orange, Montclair, Asbury Park, Keansburg, Atlantic City, Pleasantville, Paterson, and Passaic. These efforts led to more than 9,000 guns being taken out of circulation, including 1,100 illegal guns and 4,500 handguns taken out of communities and off our streets.
We will continue to fight for victims on all these fronts and more, working with New Jersey's strong community of victim advocates, law enforcement, the faith-based community and elected officials.

New Jersey Attorney General

Greensboro, NC -- So how do you know if you're eating Genetically Modified food also known as Genetically Modified Organism? Well, alot of times, you don't.
It's estimated as much as 80 percent of the processed food you eat contains at least one genetically modified ingredient. Things like salad dressing, bread, cereal, crackers and cookies may be GM foods. You won't know if they are by simply looking at the ingredients.
But more companies who make non-modified foods are looking for ways to ensure you know their food is not part of the 80%. The signs on the boxes may be hard to spot, but Whole Foods is making it really clear. And not just in signage either. Whole Foods gives tours to point out the non-GMOs.
Jarrett Oliveri, marketing director for the store on Friendly Avenue in Greensboro, says, "We're big on transparency so we're doing our best to educate our customers about what GMOs are and how they can identify them in the products they're buying."
State legislatures around the nation are looking at making some sort of GMO mark mandatory. Shopper Leah Parks likes the idea. She says, "I would rather know what's in my food."
North Carolina lawmakers have had this on their radar. A bill to label GMO food didn't make it far in 2011.
The only fresh food that is genetically modified is sweet corn, squash and papaya from Hawaii. You can spot it by looking at the PLU sticker if it has an 8 in front of the numbers.

I am writing in response to the Sept. 8 comments of Ms. Rose Marie Rech.
First, I am genuinely happy she finds comfort in the practice of her faith and equally happy that we both live in a country which guarantees her such freedom - and that of expression as well.
The list of Ms. Rech's complaints is long and wide-ranging. For example, Ms. Rech began her comments saying that as a Catholic she sees no problem with the Ryan budget. Toward the end she indicates that bishops are suing the federal government regarding the HHS mandate. I would remind Ms. Rech that in April, those very same bishops, speaking through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, condemned the Ryan budget for its anticipated impact on America's less fortunate.
The writer also cites the revocation of faith-based adoption agency licenses as an infringement of religious freedom. To the contrary, it is the very basis of religious freedom. These faith-based organizations can place any restrictions they choose on recipients of their services. What the governmental bodies have said is that an agency which refuses to abide by non-discrimination laws is no longer eligible to contract with the state. The agencies are completely free to operate as they wish outside of the government, hence no infringement.
The statement that "The Democratic Platform provides for abortion to anyone, fully paid by the taxpayer," is contradicted by the actual language of the document. It states support for a woman's right to "a safe and legal abortion regardless of ability to pay." There is no explicit mandating of taxpayer funding, which, by the way, has been prohibited by the Hyde Amendment since 1977.
Rather than engage in a point-by-point rebuttal, I ask that Ms. Rech respect the rights of those who do not share the teachings of her particular religion and therefore neither condemn nor denigrate Americans who exercise constitutionally guaranteed and/or legal rights with which she disagrees on personal religious grounds.

Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation/B_descRubAff1>
Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation
Our cooperation with Belize essentially follows the community channel. This country benefits from the EDF (as an ACP country). Cooperation programs between the EU and Belize have developed strongly in recent years, justifying the creation of an EU office in Belmopan. The headings for this cooperation include rural development, adaptation to climate change, and assistance in the sugar and banana sectors, in order to modernize them and promote conversions.
Bilateral cooperation is involved in the military and police fields. The Armed Forces of Guyana (FAG) maintain cooperation with the Belize Defense Force by receiving officers or NCOs at the Jungle Combat Training Center in Las Cuevas for seven week training courses, while Belize's police participate in all regional technical cooperation activities (training courses organized by the Internal Security Attaché).
Belize, with the highest rate of prevalence of AIDS in Central America, also benefits from France's contribution to the Global Fund against AIDS,
Tuberculosis, and Malaria.

THE INTERNATIONALCastle Pines GCCastle Rock, COPar: 36-36—72Yards: 7,619Purse: $5,500,000Winner: $990,0002005 Champion: Retief Goosen (+32)
With his victory last year, South African Retief Goosen became the sixth international champion of The INTERNATIONAL, joining Australians Greg Norman (1989) and Rod Pampling (2004), Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal (1991), Fiji's Vijay Singh (1998) and South Africa's Ernie Els (2000).Last year, Retief Goosen became just the second champion in lthe ast nine years at The INTERNATIONAL to trail after 54 holes and go on to win. Goosen trailed Brandt Jobe by nine points entering the final round but rallied with seven points on the final day, as Jobe finished one behind Goosen.Retief Goosen looks to extend his streak of consecutive seasons with a PGA TOUR victory. Currently, he is tied for second on the active list with Vijay Singh. Both have won tournaments five years running. Tiger Woods has the longest current streak, at 11 years. jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer share the record, with wins in 17 consecutive seasons.Despite missing the 2005 INTERNATIONAL due to knee surgery, Ernie Els remains the event's all-time leading money-winner, with $1,667,240. Phil Mickelson is a close second, with $1,531,270.Three players have posted eight-point double eagles at The INTERNATIONAL, with two coming in the final round in 1990—by Steve Pate (driver and a 2-iron at the eighth hole) and Jim Gallagher, Jr., (driver and a 5-iron at the 17th). The most recent double eagle came in 2002 when Steve Lowery used a driver and a 6-iron at the 17th in the final round.The par-3 16th hole at Castle Pines Golf Club is the only hole to have never given up an eagle during the 20-year history of The INTERNATIONAL.The INTERNATIONAL is the only PGA TOUR event with a "second cut" after the third round. After 36 holes, the top 72 players (and ties) advance to Saturday. Following 54 holes, the top 36 players (and ties) advance to the final round. This "second cut" was used for the first time in 1999.Phil Mickelson (1993 and 1997) and Davis Love III (1990 and 2003) are the only two-time winners of The INTERNATIONAL in its first 20 years. Mickelson (1997) and Ernie Els (2000) share the tournament record for points with 48. The most points on a single hole during The INTERNATIONAL is 20 by Jim Gallagher, Jr., who, in 1990, played No. 17 birdie-eagle-eagle-double eagle. Gallagher finished with 24 total tournament points.Two INTERNATIONALS have needed Sunday playoffs to decide a winner. In 1994, Steve Lowery parred the first extra hole to defeat Rick Fehr. In 1996, Clarence Rose defeated Brad Faxon with an eagle on the third extra hole.Steve Lowery (1994), Clarence Rose (1996) and Rod Pampling (2004) are the only three players to win their maiden PGA TOUR event at The INTERNATIONAL.

Tower of the Arcane . Rise of the Mage (Prologue) . 30 years after the fall of Count Vlad and his minions, the Kingdom of Leon has become a prospering Empire, covering the lands of men from sea to sea and filling in the borders of the ancient Empire of Tasher. In the West lands the tower of Edrin the Wise rises like a monolith to the arcane arts and marks the Western-most border of Leon. Edrin has held dominion over this land for nearly 200 years; protecting and caring for its people, hailed as the savior and guardian of the West, renowned for his wisdom and considered one of the most powerful Elemental Mages in the World. Alas, even the greatest Mage in Leon is mortal and can only ward off his demise for so long� Old age and a the byproducts of countless spells cast over his lifetime have drained Edrin of his strength and power. Even his beloved people have abandoned him in this state of weakness. Edrin the Wise now lies in his deathbed in the Tower; only his apprentice Kaloyan and his servant Roger remain bedside. As his life force leaves him, Edrin utters to his disciple; �Protect the people, protect the Kingdom of Leon my gentle Kaloyan�. Kaloyan: "Farewell my old friend, may they treat you better in the next world than they did in this one. Quit your sniveling Roger, this is a time to rejoice!" Roger: "Rejoice how ser?" Kaloyan: "The passing of my tutor makes me the senior-most mage in Western Leon; this is a moment I have been waiting for for nearly 20 years!Follow me, there are rites to attend to!" Up near the top of the tower: Kaloyan: "Ah here we are, the Rotunda of Elemental Magic!� Roger: What is this chamber ser? Tis� fancier than the rest of the tower?� Kaloyan: �This is the portal to the paranormal, the opeining to the occult my dear servant. � Roger: �What is it�s puropos ser?� Kaloyan: �Look around Roger; these are no simple mosaics. These pictographs are riddles with enchanted stones and runes od elemental magic. All the elements are present: air, water, fire, and earth. Over by the terrace you see the quintessence; the fifth element; the Dominion of the Underworld. It is the force of death magic in other words; a forbidden practice in Leon. This chamber can augment any spell and impose it on the surrounding area. This was Edrin�t secret weapon; I intend to make it my tool of dominion. Now Roger, head on down to the village and summon the elders to come up and greet their new lord� Some time later: The Elders arrive, but not a trace of rejoice or obedience is evident in their sturn faces and their frustrated postures. Kaloyan: �Well would you not bow And greet your lord?� Village Elder: �You have some nerve mage to summon us! We swore loyalty to Edrin the Wise long ago in exchange for his protection. His dominion over this land was earned and he suffered for his people. We have no loyalty towards you, you young cockerel!� Other Elder: Keep your nose buried in your books, and your eyes on the stars and let the Empire of Leon take care of its people. Third Elder: �Never send for us again or make claims of entitlement to power, or else the Emperial courts shall hear of your defiance! � Kaloyan: �You dare speak to me that way you ungrateful peasants! Who are you to challenge the might of a Mage! Who are you to set foot in the hallowed chamber of the and denounce the practice that has saved your timber homes form fires, giants and advancing armies!� �Get out of my sight!� Kaloyan: �Cockerel! Filthy peasants! To speak that way to a mage, and in his own tower nonetheless! I�ve had it Roger, it�s time we used the fine resources my mentor never had the nerve to use! It�s time to teach these town-dwellers why it is that people feared mages before their precious Empire took over. Let us see what else Wise old Edrin has hidden away in this tower!� Kaloyan: �You poor old man� If only you could see what your beloved people think of mages now. You were too soft on them; they lost all respect for the power of your position. You could have had it all if only you had the ambition! To single handedly crush an Orc invasion and to slay a mighty dragon rider in service to the crown, not to mention defeat the greatest of the vampiri clans and why? So that these peasants can eat and drink and enjoy their sinful ways and demean you?! Kaloyan: �Let us look around� Kaloyan: �These are the ancient texts of the Tasher Mages! I can only imagine what kind of powerful spells must be described within!� Kaloyan: �Edrin�s Potions room! There is enough vials in here to fight a small army. Let�s see Roger what can we use to send a message to the little town below?� Kaloyan: �Ah yes! I have heard of this; why this should be quite the demonstration! This must be primed with a large amount of earth Magic. Let�s ascend the tower and see just how powerful this Rotunda is!� Kaloyan primes the spell and fills the potion with earth Magic> Kaloyan: �Come on Roger, at dawn we go down to the village and show these ungrateful peasants why a mage is to be respected! A new day will arrive and I will be the Harbinger of its advent!� �The era of submission is over; the era of the Mage is here!� To be continued�
