Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I really enjoyed this.. Its very exciting and moving yet has solemn undertones and bold melody.. This is legit.. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot!
I am glad you like it! I wanted to create something which has got much movement while being still lyrical. I just was afraid that the action could become to extreme :D So thanks for this kind review.
Best wishes
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Hello there! So I hear you wanted a review on this.
Ok, first of all, let me say this - there's absolutely nothing wrong with the mixing that I can possibly poke at, probably because it's just one instrument, so I shall focus solely on the composition of this piece.
1. I will say this first of all, the piece is very good - the ideas in it are well-developed, and I enjoy the main tune/chords that make up the main 'theme' of the piece.
2. There ARE a few bits where it seems a little bit off. The specific bits are 0:22-0:29 and 0:58-1:08, particularly the part around one minute. The method to your madness seems to be partially thrown aside here, and there are odd shifts at times that don't quite fit.
3. While they are very few, there are also a few notes in the harmonic underlying melodies that don't quite fit, though these are not in the main theme chordings.
4. The simple stop at 0:36 to transition back to the main section doesn't quite seem to fit as well as it could - I'd suggest a little lead-in of a piano riff, perhaps trying to use some slower notes.
5. Speaking of slower notes, even in fast pieces there are notes longer than eighth notes! You might want to try putting in some chords or lower bass notes to make the song more 'solid' and have a better, well, "base" (no pun intended) to build up all of these melodies from.
6. I would very much like this to be extended, with the rough parts worked through to give a bit more cohesiveness.
Overall, this is really good - a few things need to be polished up, and it could definitely be longer, but I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing and reviewing this. :) Nice work!
-Review Request Club-
Hey SkyeWintrest,
Thanks a lot for this very detailed and valuable review! I am really glad you enjoyed it :D
- I will sit down and check the piece for harmonical defects and unnecessary notes.
- The piece is so short because it has been created within 3,5 hours. Maybe i will extend it, but i dont know that for shure right now. If i do i will inform you :D
- I will try out to bring slower notes. I am just a little bit affraid this could affect the felt speed by making it slow, but i will check it out!
Thank you very much again for another really useful and intensive review of yours!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I sort of agree with chazzhay but i also don't. something does seem kinda off but i don't think it's the complementary. i think it's the different tempos or something but still very good.
Thanks a lot for the review!
Maybe the thing you mean is, that i tried to make the piece more variable and integrated some changes in the feeling, but that was with intent. Because this piece was created a few days ago its not possible for me to experience it in an objective / abstracted way - after a few weeks i think its possible for me to see things clearer :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Chazzhay is talking nonsense. This is a rather complex piece of music. I like the fact that there is a very clear (and accessible) underlying harmonic progression, while the melodic lines are essentially going crazy. Quite nice!
Hey there!
I am really, really glad YOU like the piece! Since your spring waltz i allways wanted to make a pianopiece and try to create some variety, movement and a elegiac feeling within it - so you can say: Your waltz inspired me a lot and i am listening to it quite often (gives me a very good mood and makes my mind flow).
It was a little bit difficult to make the piece complicated and crazy while not destroying the main tune. So i am even more delighted to hear from you, the piece would have a clear underlining harmonic progression --> Thanks a lot!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
I am in no way a musician but I felt like there is something off with this. I liked it but I feel that the two tracks didn't always complement each other and made this feel like it could used a bit more work to adjust it to make it sound better. Keep at it though cause I'm sure you will get better with practice! :)

Visual CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) are used in most of the websites which allow users to sign up/register. They are used to allow only humans inside the system and deny access to any automated robot. In this post, I give an overview of CAPTCHA security and methods to break it.
Domain change
This content may be out of date. Visit updated content at http://www.diovo.com/?p=12
This blog is being moved to http://www.diovo.com Please visit diovo.com hereafter. Thank you for visiting.
Working When there is a need to differentiate between a bot and a human, the website/system that is interacting with the user will present him/her with an image containing some text. The user should enter the text shown in the image into a text field and then the server will allow the user into the system. The basic assumption here is that the recognition of textual information from images is difficult for a computer, while it is easy for human beings.
eg: CAPTCHA image from google "Add your URL" Page (http://www.google.com/addurl)
Strength of a CAPTCHA
Strength of any particular CAPTCHA depends on the algorithms and parameters used for generating the CAPTCHA image. The different characters in the image are rendered in different ways in a CAPTCHA. Some methods used are:
- Translation of Characters(Changing Position)
- Scaling of Characters
- Rotation of Characters
- Adding Background Clutter
- Adding Foreground Clutter
- Local Warp
- Glabal Warp
- Intersecting Random Arcs
- Non-intersecting Random Arcs etc.
All these methods are used to make recognition difficult for an automated bot. But generally, all these methods increases the difficulty in recognition for humans also.
Breaking a CAPTCHA
A very interesting thing to note is that computers are far better than humans in single character recognition. See the research paper "State of single Character Recognition" [by Kumar Chellapilla, Kevin Larson, Patrice Simard and Mary Czerwinski of Microsoft Research] for details. According to this research, computer based system can recognise characters in any CAPTCHA system better than humans. The only problem is that it is about single character recognition. Humans are better than computers in segmentation (breaking up an image into smaller segments containing single characters). But this too may change by advancement in technology.
So this means that if we can do segmentation (Retrieve portions of image containg single characters) in an image, we can say that we have succesfully cracked a CAPTCHA. For recognising the characters, we can use conventional neural networks. Contrary to general belief, neural networks are not that difficult to master. They are very simple to implement too. Thus, breaking a CAPTCHA essentially boils down to the problem of segmentation.
In my following posts, I intend to find methods to break CAPTCHAs from some popular websites.

I encountered this question in an interview:
Is an object created inside of a method eligible for garbage collection after the method is finished?
Is yes the correct answer?
I encountered this question in an interview:
Is yes the correct answer?
The only thing i would like to add to the answers above is that an object is not eligible for garbage collection as long as there is a strong reference to it from within a non-eligible object.
There are Weak references (and a few other kinds, for that matter) that make objects they point to collectable, even though the reference itself is still there. You can see WeakHashMap and related for more info.
An object can be garbage collected when there are no references to it, or every object that references it is also being garbage collected.
Here, o can be garbage collected after the method, because nothing points to it.
Here it can't, because other things can still reference o since it's a class member.
Here it can't be, because it's being returned. If the caller holds on to it, it stays alive.
If someone has a pointer to it, it stays alive (roughly).
Assuming that a reference to that object was not handed to something else that's still in scope when the method exits, then yes.
Well it depends - it's eligible for garbage collection as soon as there are no more "live" references to it. If you've done something within the method which means there are still live references after the method has finished, then no - the object won't be eligible for garbage collection. For example:

Picked to Click 2012: #2. Pony Trash
Photo by Sarah Rose
#2. Pony Trash: 78 points
"Part of the reason that we had the discussion about Chris [Bierden] joining the band is because he was the person we knew had a lot of time on his hands," explains Pony Trash singer/guitarist Neil Weir.
While kicking back in an office chair inside Old Blackberry Way, the recording studio he runs, Weir articulates the tightly scheduled world of a band of four men who play in a lot of other bands. While their time together is scarce, inspiration is not in short supply.

For example, only when Weir isn't occupied with the Chambermaids, Sativa Flats, or his solo instrumental project, Devil on the Beach -- plus recent and continuing studio clients like Cloak Ox, Blind Shake, Chatham Rise, and Web of Sunsets -- can he get together to rehearse with neo-shoegazers Pony Trash.
With a dual attack of reverb-heavy Fender Jazzmasters, the music hits the gut far harder than it does the eardrums. "It's all about how hard you're playing the strings in this band," says equally occupied guitarist Nate Nelson. He's also in the Chambermaids, and other groups include STNNNG, a project with his wife called Sister Bear, and American Cream. "You're playing the strings so lightly, you're setting a mood. I've never done that too much in bands, where you're trying to play as quietly as possible. You're not turning down your amp or anything, it's just how delicate can you play."
Nelson and drummer Ollie Moltaji (Gospel Gossip, Battle Napkin, Wizard Baby, a Bruce Springsteen cover band, among others) share a couch near Weir. Surrounding them is wallpaper with a pattern that might start moving at any second, a comfortable mix of glimmering vintage lamps, and recording gear. These rooms may be just part of the first floor of an unassuming house near Dinkytown, but Weir has continued a several-decade lineage of hosting a hip musical womb, of sorts, within these walls.
Absent is bassist Bierden, who might have the least free time recently due to another Picked to Click band, Heavy Deeds, and a certain guitarless, experimental combo that has been on the road extensively throughout 2012. Still, scheduling's been really easy, Weir contends: "I just look at the calendar for the green line. That's Poliça. If that's not there, Chris is available to get together. Last practice we had was one day between two Poliça tours that he had off. He's really eager to work hard on stuff when he's in town."
Pony Trash started as a more loose garage-y incarnation about two years ago with bassist Srini Radhakrishna (France Has the Bomb), who has since moved to Chicago. About a year ago, Bierden stepped in on bass and things became more fluid and melodic, and the group began work on the self-titled five-song EP coming out in November. With four guys balancing so many projects at once and so little time to rehearse, it's easy to see why a high level of precision in conversation is important. Having a sound engineer like Weir in the band opens up a hyper-attention to detail when it comes to influence and intent.
"[This music] has this breathing quality that isn't meticulously constructed," Weir says, and adds that the feel they're after is expressed on live Velvet Underground, Neil Young and Crazy Horse's mid-'70s creative run of On the Beach, Tonight's the Night, and Zuma, but also a proto-alternative album like the Breeders' Pod. None of these bands have melodies quite like Pony Trash's Grand Canyon of twang "The Weight of the Night" or the expansive tear-jerker "Dry Your Eyes."
So far, listeners are split on how the results come across -- comparisons to the seasonal extremes of summer and winter keep coming up. "It's both in my mind," Nelson says, not long before he and Moltaji semi-hastily exit the studio for their next projects of the day. "Reverb-y guitars make you think of surf, so I can see the summer thing. There's a sadness to the songs too, which makes you feel kinda wintry. I take it as a compliment. Then we did what we were setting out to do, a little bit. The contrast is very interesting."
Pony Trash perform at Turf Club on Thursday, October 25 and Friday, November 23 (EP release show). More info here.

Williams talks Sept. call-ups, Schierholtz
Aug 22, 2014, 5:41 PM EST
Nationals outfielder Nate McLouth had successful surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder on Thursday, effectively ending his 2014 season. Now, with five weeks left to go, the Nationals will look to fill the position he was expected to hold down with the playoffs in mind.
Veteran Nate Schierholtz – who was signed to a minor league deal on Aug. 18 – is playing at Triple-A Syracuse currently. The 30-year-old has had 10 plate appearances through two games with the Chiefs, posting three hits and four RBI, including a home run.
"He's getting his timing back after not having played in some time," manager Matt Williams said.
"He played right, he DH'd and played center. He's getting some at-bats and working his way back to feeling good at the plate. He needs those at-bats, really. He just hasn't played in a while. So, like anybody else coming back from injury or any of that, they need to have at-bats."
Schierholtz could provide a veteran option instead of rookies Steven Souza, Jr. and Michael A. Taylor, who are also technically vying for the same spot. There could be one open position on the Nationals bench come October and Schierholtz has an advantage in both experience and the fact he bats left-handed.
Williams is hopeful the Nats can evaluate him soon and get him to Washington the moment he's ready. When that will be, however, is unclear.
MLB rosters expand on Sept. 1 and the Nationals could wait until then.
"We can also wait," Williams said. "When that is, we don't know. We want him ready when he's ready and be able to be up here and be productive. We don't want to rush him in that regard. There's no need to do that at this point. We want to make sure his timing is good and he's ready to play when he gets here."
On the topic of September call-ups, Williams said the Nationals are discussing who will come up, but nothing has been decided yet. Williams does not believe the team's first place record will have any effect on who or how many they bring up.
"The first place standing doesn't mean anything. We want to make sure we have the players here that can help us win games in every form and fashion," he said.
"It doesn't matter standings-wise where we're at. We want to win. If they can help us win in that regard then that's great."
One factor that could come into play is Syracuse's own playoff run. The Chiefs are in first place in the International League at 75-55, also 20 games above .500 just like their major league partners.
"We've had those discussions, but no final decisions on anything yet. The guys in Triple-A have a chance to be in the playoffs and play beyond. We'll see how it all shakes out."
- lphboston - Aug 22, 2014 at 6:33 PM
Doesn't matter who wins the JV game.
If you need a player with the big club, move him up.
- laddieblahblah - Aug 23, 2014 at 12:33 AM
Souza began his rehab at Hagerstown last night – 1 for 2 with a stolen base. Expected to be at Potomac next. They should have Shierholtz from the left side, and Souza from the right side, off the bench come Sep. 1st, at the latest.
- natfan33 - Aug 23, 2014 at 9:08 AM
I believe Souza is the X-Factor. Get him right and he will be a big contributor.
- langleyclub - Aug 23, 2014 at 11:03 AM
Realize that this is not going to happen as the everyone appears to think that Nate Sheirholtz is the answer (despite being god-awful for the last 2 months) to fill the Nats' need for a left-handed bat off the bench, but if the Nats are going to add a left-handed bat to the roster for September. It should be Syracuse utility player Emmanuel Burris. Before that thought is summarily dismissed consider that he is a switch-hitter that has been great against righties this year .323 AVG .857 OPS; unlike Nate Scheirholtz, Burris has been red-hot of late hitting .351 (.935 OPS) in July and .356 (.951 OPS) in August. Burris can run, and play multiple positions IF and OF. By any objective measure, he is the better option for the Nats right now.
The affection for Scheirholtz who was awful for the Cubs (and particularly bad over the last 2 months), and has done little in his short stint in Cuse, is driving me bonkers. Would think that you need to earn your spot on the NLs best roster, and hitting .100 over the last 2 months does not cut it. Yes, Schieholtz was a decent player last year. That was… last year, not this year.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This liquid lipstick is more a lip gloss than a lipstick and it is the best moisturizer I've ever had. And I've used Chanel and Dior lip balms, nothing worked better than this lip stick during winter. It actually saved my lips from being chopped and for the first time in my life my lips looked good when the temperature was 20 degrees C below 0. Moisturizing and protecting, replaced Carmex and Dior maximizer.
This is like lipgloss and lipstick in one. I love the smell and color and taste. Super natural and sweet and it last better than the other ones with pencil. Love it!

This year, the hometown Giants, a team I've followed with ardor since childhood, made history, winning nine straight do-or-die elimination games to propel them to the World Series, which they then swept against a favored Detroit Tigers team. This is a thing that does not happen, and has never happened before. And if you follow San Francisco game journalists or like sports, you probably heard about it from either side of the fence.
Come March, Sony's excellent MLB: The Show series will be making its yearly rounds, just in time for spring training and just in time to whet a collective appetite for the American pastime. There have been a lot of changes, not the least of which is the new Post Season Mode, intended to replicate that heart quickening post season play without the 162 games prior -- and to help build narratives like the one the Giants wrote with their historical 2012 run. Add in rebalanced gameplay skewed toward offense and the new beginner mode and you got something that's looking to be the most accessible, plainly fun The Show yet.

The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off another emotional victory in which Aramis Ramirez hit a walk-off two-run homer to defeat the Miami Marlins in extra innings.
Milwaukee's bullpen gave up big leads not once but twice Tuesday afternoon. The relievers allowed leads of 9-2 and 11-6 get away; however, Ramirez was able to save the bullpen from disgrace by hitting a two-out monster to right-center field.
Starter Marco Estrada pitched well despite a mistake in the first inning in which he surrendered two earned runs. Other than that, he displayed outstanding pitching skills and was able to give the Miami hitters trouble through six innings. Unfortunately, the bullpen was unable to give Estrada his first win of the season after they blew the game multiple times.
The following is the Brewers lineup against the Marlins for the July 4th afternoon game:
Right Field: Norichika Aoki
Center Field: Nyjer Morgan
Left Field: Ryan Braun
Third Base: Aramis Ramirez
First Base: Corey Hart
Second Base: Rickie Weeks
Catcher: George Kottaras
Shortstop: Cesar Izturis
Pitcher: Randy Wolf
Randy Wolf will get the start today and attempt to record his first win since April 30. It is not completely Wolf's fault that he has not received a win. The bullpen has blown four consecutive leads with him on the mound and the offense has not mustered enough run support. Hopefully, Wolf will be able to pitch well and get the offense he needs to give the Brewers their fifth consecutive win.
Ryan Braun, Corey Hart, and Ramirez combined for seven hits and three home runs in Tuesday's game. All three sluggers will need to have another good outing in order to ensure the success of the Brewers and keep the winning streak alive. George Kottaras is in the lineup today and will be catching behind home plate for Wolf. Cesar Izturis also gets the start today at shortstop. Both players will have to come through considering their respected counter parts played well yesterday.

Adolescent Identity Exploration: A Test of Erikson's Theory of Transitional Crisis
Kidwell, Jeannie S., Dunham, Richard M., Bacho, Roderick A., Pastorino, Ellen, Portes, Pedro R., Adolescence
According to Erikson, exploration is at the heart of the adolescent transition. In his words, exploration is the identity crisis, although crises are not necessarily acute or severe (Erikson, 1959). The remaking of personal identity, which is necessary to complete the transition, was said to be dependent on exploration. In a similar perspective, Grotevant (1987) has referred to exploration as the "work" of the identity process.
Erikson has characterized adolescent identity exploration as being accompanied by fluctuations in ego strength. Cognitive destructuring, generally, and the view of the self, in particular, was seen to result in reduced ego strength and impairment of coping. Moreover, a variety of symptoms were said to occur with the transition; these included subjective discomfort, confusion, mood swings, ego defenses, impulsivity, acting-out, and heightened physical and somatic complaints (Erikson, 1956, 1963, 1968).
Thus, for Erikson (1968), the self in transition is vulnerable: "Each stage becomes a crisis because incipient growth and awareness in a significant part function goes together with the shift in instinctual energy and yet causes specific vulnerability in that part" (Erikson, 1959, p. 56). Under such a challenge, the experience is one of a "... split of self images, a loss of center, and a dispersion" (Erikson, 1968). These symptoms and the experience of the self as "disrupted" have been described as the "... dark and negative side of identity formation," and they are viewed as vital to the identity process (Erikson, 1975).
The present research sought to find empirical evidence concerning Erikson's view that adolescent identity exploration is associated with reduced ego strength and the occurrence of psychological and physical symptoms. While much has been written in an attempt to understand the implications of the "crisis" of adolescence generally, the empirical research has not employed identity exploration as a key variable.
The general hypothesis of the present study can be stated as follows: If exploration is the identity crisis, then one would expect an adolescent who scores higher on measures of identity exploration also to show evidence of the symptoms as ascribed by Erikson.
The sample consisted of 82 academically superior high school students (43 males; 39 females) between 14 and 17 years of age who had completed their junior year. It was comprised of two groups of students attending the Florida State University Summer Science and Mathematics Camp during the summers of 1988 (30 students) and 1989 (52 students). The minimum requirements for admission to the program included percentile ranks of 90 or more on standardized achievement tests, as well as sustained high academic performance.
The 1988 and 1989 groups did not differ in measures of socioeconomic status (SES) (Hollingshead, 1965). The SES of the families-of-origin for both groups was middle-to-upper-middle class. The mean SES index was 47.03, with a range of 31-62 for the 1988 sample and a mean of 48.96 with a range of 29-66 for the 1989 sample (Hollingshead Four Factor Index of Social Status, 1965).
The instruments used were the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Ego-Identity Interview (Grotevant & Cooper, 1981).
Twenty-three of the commonly used scales of the MMPI were selected to assess symptomatology. There were the nine clinical scales and the 14 Frequently Scored Scales (see Graham, 1987). (Of the ten clinical profile scales, one - Mf, masculinity-femininity - was omitted from the analysis because of its differential norming for males and females.) Adolescent norms were used for scoring the clinical scales (Archer, 1987). Separate adolescent norms were not available for the Frequency Scored Scales.
The Ego-Identity Interview (Grotevant & Cooper, 1981) was based on Marcia's (1964) operationalization of Erikson's theory (1968) regarding adolescence as a time of increased exploration and commitment. …

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

How long does it take for simvastatin to get out of your system and all the side affects leave?

According to studies done by the University of California medical schools that confirm French studies done in the 1990s, statin is made from black mold-it helps one person in 10 and harms 3 out of 10 UC Santa barbara just released a study confined to old men with heart and cholestral problems and got these results, the French study thought that these men would be helped with statin. Side effects are often permenent. Muscle damage in lower legs-Achilles damage can happen within 9 months of starting, muscle and tendon damage in hands, kidney and liver damage, type 2 diabetes, memory problems, periphial nerve damage-especially in the calves, olofactory hallucinations, foot and hand cramps, back spasms that come from the right shoulder-that seems to be a constant complaint. Nausea, fatigue, loss of interest in things. The process thats stops cholestral from entering your blood stream-also stops the process of maintaining the kidneys and muscles.
If you have a thyroid problem it greatly increases the chance of having Statin Toxicity-they finally gave it a name for all of the side effects a few months ago-
I forgot the black urine and bloody urine. I had really black urine for over 2 months- lab work didn't show blood, but 2 doctors warned me that I'll probably be on dialysis within 5 years because of the black urine. I find ice to help my legs- CoQ 10 also helps with the creepy burning skin on my calves. I went from hiking in the mountains-to my HMO sending a home nurse on Thurs.

The Ducks held an optional practice at Honda Center on Wednesday, with almost all of the veterans sitting out the on-ice workout.
Talk centered around the performances of San Jose defensemen Rob Blake and Dan Boyle, who combined for three goals in Game 3 and teamed on the power play - an adjustment that the Ducks will have to address.
"We know they're dynamic players and they play a huge part of their back end," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "We just have to be better in some areas. I think, from our standpoint, it would be our mental aspect of approaching the game.
"I analyzed the first four forechecks they had. They took the puck to the net or they got the puck to the net. We didn't do a job of defending early and we got back on our heels."
Boyle is known for joining the rush an inordinate amount of times. He is often pinching behind the opponent's goal line.
Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer said Boyle was "up the ice more than usual" in Game 3 and said catching Boyle during that time will be key.
The main news of the day was Ducks winger Bobby Ryan (below) being named a finalist for the Calder Trophy for rookie of the year.
Ryan, who won the rookie scoring title, downplayed the recognition - to no one's surprise.
"It's certainly a nice achievement," Ryan said. "It's something I'll reflect on after it's all said and done here."
Ryan acknowledged going through a precarious part of the season when former general manager Brian Burke told him he might be traded if the Ducks couldn't find salary cap room to get him on the roster.
"There were a few moments where I thought I would be on the move," Ryan said. "... I never really thought at the end of the day that I'd be going anywhere. I knew this is where I wanted to be."
The award will be announced June 18. Ryan's main competition is Columbus goaltender Steve Mason.
"It's hard not to vote for Mason in Columbus after the year he's put together," Ryan said. "He's got my vote."
One lighter topic of discussion was the playoff-like toughness of center Todd Marchant's wife, Caroline, who attended Game 3 just 36 hours after giving birth to the couple's fourth child, Bradley David.
Marchant wasn't surprised she made it to the game considering that, after the birth of one of their other children on a Friday, she attended a game the next day.
"She's a hockey wife," Marchant joked.

FACT CHECK: Obama and Medicare premiums

|Buy AP Photo Reprints
WASHINGTON (AP) â" It seems to be something of an occupational hazard for President Barack Obama: When he talks about his health care law, he's bound to hit a fact bump sooner or later.
So it went Tuesday night, when he declared Medicare premiums have stayed flat thanks to the law, when they've gone up. As for an even bigger theme of his State of the Union address, the president's assertion that "upward mobility has stalled" in America runs contrary to recent research, while other findings support him.
A look at some of the facts and political circumstances behind his claims, along with a glance at the Republican response to his speech:
OBAMA: "Because of this (health care) law, no American can ever again be dropped or denied coverage for a preexisting condition like asthma, back pain or cancer. No woman can ever be charged more just because she's a woman. And we did all this while adding years to Medicare's finances, keeping Medicare premiums flat, and lowering prescription costs for millions of seniors."
THE FACTS: He's right that insurers can no longer turn people down because of medical problems, and they can't charge higher premiums to women because of their sex. The law also lowered costs for seniors with high prescription drug bills. But Medicare's monthly premium for outpatient care has gone up in recent years.
Although the basic premium remained the same this year at $104.90, it increased by $5 a month in 2013, up from $99.90 in 2012. Obama's health care law also raised Medicare premiums for upper-income beneficiaries, and both the president and Republicans have proposed to expand that.
Finally, the degree to which the health care law improved Medicare finances is hotly debated. On paper, the program's giant trust fund for inpatient care gained more than a decade of solvency because of cuts to service providers required under the health law. But in practice those savings cannot simultaneously be used to expand coverage for the uninsured and shore up Medicare.
OBAMA: "Today, after four years of economic growth, corporate profits and stock prices have rarely been higher, and those at the top have never done better. But average wages have barely budged. Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled."
THE FACTS: The most recent evidence suggests that mobility hasn't worsened. A team of economists led by Harvard's Raj Chetty released a study last week that found the United States isn't any less socially mobile than it was in the 1970s. Looking at children born between 1971 and 1993, the economists found that the odds of a child born in the poorest 20 percent of families making it into the top 20 percent hasn't changed.
"We find that children entering the labor market today have the same chances of moving up in the income distribution (relative to their parents) as children born in the 1970s," the authors said.
Still, other research has found that the United States isn't as mobile a society as most Americans would like to believe. In a study of 22 countries, economist Miles Corak of the University of Ottawa found that the United States ranked 15th in social mobility. Only Italy and Britain among wealthy countries ranked lower. By some measures, children in the United States are as likely to inherit their parents' economic status as their height.
OBAMA: "We'll need Congress to protect more than 3 million jobs by finishing transportation and waterways bills this summer. But I will act on my own to slash bureaucracy and streamline the permitting process for key projects, so we can get more construction workers on the job as fast as possible."
THE FACTS: Cutting rules and regulations doesn't address what's holding up most transportation projects, which is lack of money. The federal Highway Trust Fund will run out of money in August without action. To finance infrastructure projects, Obama wants Congress to raise taxes on businesses that keep profits or jobs overseas, but that idea has been a political nonstarter.
The number of projects affected by the administration's efforts to cut red tape is relatively small, said Joshua Schank, president and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, a think tank. "The reason most of these projects are delayed is they don't have enough money. So it's great that you are expediting the review process, but the review process isn't the problem. The problem is we don't have enough money to invest in our infrastructure in the first place."
OBAMA: "More than 9 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage."
THE FACTS: That's not to say 9 million more Americans have gained insurance under the law.
The administration says about 6 million people have been determined to be eligible for Medicaid since Oct. 1 and an additional 3 million roughly have signed up for private health insurance through the new markets created by the health care law. That's where Obama's number of 9 million comes from. But it's unclear how many in the Medicaid group were already eligible for the program or renewing existing coverage.
Likewise, it's not known how many of those who signed up for private coverage were previously insured. A large survey released last week suggests the numbers of uninsured gaining coverage may be smaller. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that the uninsured rate for U.S. adults dropped by 1.2 percentage points in January, to 16.1 percent. That would translate to roughly 2 million to 3 million newly insured people since the law's coverage expansion started Jan. 1.
OBAMA: "In the coming weeks, I will issue an executive order requiring federal contractors to pay their federally funded

Recently on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, we asked for you favorite classic […]
ATLANTA, GA (December 9, 2010) - The United States Environmental Protection Agency has again recognized environmentally conscious online bookseller Better World Books for its contributions to protecting the environment, this time for its efforts on behalf of climate control. Better World Books is the EPA's 2010 WasteWise Gold Achievement award winner in the Climate Change category.
Better World Books collects and sells new and used books online, diverting waste from landfills and donating a portion of each sale to help literacy initiatives worldwide. All books are resold online, recycled, or donated to libraries or literacy groups. When it comes to waste reduction, the company has successfully re-used or recycled more than 40 million books, while raising over $8.5 million in funding for literacy and education initiatives worldwide. In 2009, the company recycled 7,090 tons of materials, which is the carbon dioxide equivalent to removing 2,900 passenger vehicles from the road for one year.
WasteWise is a voluntary program designed to help companies evaluate and improve their overall environmental commitment through changes in how they manage their waste. The program currently has almost 2,700 participating partners and endorsers. Gold awards are given to WasteWise participants that focus on a specific area and achieve exceptional results. Only one award is given for each of 12 award categories for 2009.
"The amount of carbon created every year from used books in landfills and new book production is alarming. We're proud to help climate control efforts by encouraging the reuse of books and by offering carbon neutral shipping," said Better World Books CEO David Murphy. "We are honored to be recognized by the EPA for our work moving discarded books out of landfills and back into the reading cycle."
Better World Books was previously awarded the 2009 WasteWise Gold Achievement award in the Paper Reduction category.
Every book bought on BetterWorldBooks.com funds global literacy through its non-profit literacy partners, including the National Center for Family Literacy, Books for Africa, Room to Read, Worldfund, and Invisible Children. The company benefits nearly 100 additional non-profit organizations every year.
Better World Books (www.BetterWorldBooks.com) is a for-profit social enterprise that collects and sells books online with each sale generating funds for literacy initiatives in the U.S. and around the world. With more than eight million new and used titles in stock, Better World Books is a self-sustaining company that balances the social, economic and environmental values of its stakeholders. Better World Books diverts books from landfills by conducting book drives on 1,800 college campuses, and by collecting discards from over 2,000 libraries nationwide. Since its founding in 2003, the Mishawaka, Ind.-based company has raised over $8.5 million for its non-profit literacy and library; donated over 3.3 million books; re-used or recycled more than 46 million pounds of books; achieved over 15,000 tons of carbon offsets through carbon-neutral shipping, and created more than 200 full-time jobs with meaningful benefits.

Tummy Tuck ( Abdominoplasty) (cont.)
In this Article
How to Prepare For Tummy Tuck Surgery
If you smoke, you will have to stop for a certain period as determined by your doctor. It is not enough to just cut down on smoking. You must stop completely for at least two weeks prior to surgery and for two weeks after. Smoking can increase the risk of complications and delay healing.
Make sure you eat well-balanced, complete meals and do not try to diet excessively before the surgery. Proper nutrition plays a key role in healing properly.
If you take certain medications, your surgeon may instruct you to stop taking these for a certain period before and after the surgery. Your surgeon will determine this as part of your pre-operative consultation.
Before undergoing the surgery, you'll need to get your home ready for your post-operative care. Your home recovery area should include:
You know yourself best, so make sure you set up the safest, most comfortable recovery area before you undergo the surgery to meet your personal needs.
What Are the Complications and Side Effects of Tummy Tuck Surgery?
As expected, you will have pain and swelling in the days following surgery. Your doctor can prescribe a painkiller, if needed, and will instruct you on how to best handle the pain. Soreness may last for several weeks or months.
You may also experience numbness, bruising and overall tiredness for that same time period.
As with any surgery, there are risks. Remember, this surgery affects a very crucial part of your body. Though they're rare, complications can include infection, bleeding under the skin flap or blood clots that could travel to your lung and interfere with your breathing. You may carry an increased risk of complications if you have poor circulation, diabetes or heart, lung or liver disease or a history of blood clots.
You may experience insufficient healing, which can cause more significant scarring or loss of skin. If you do heal poorly, you may require a second surgery.
As we mentioned before, the scars from a tummy tuck are fairly prominent and though they may fade slightly, they will never completely disappear. Your surgeon may recommend certain creams or ointments to use after you've completely healed to help with the scars.
