Critters in Fiji rock
Being new to salt water I'm a little freaked out after taking a flashlight to my tank just now. I added 11 pounds of Fiji live rock today and decided to do a night time look.
It seems there are a large number of bristle worms that are black/white striped. Not that large at all, but there are quite a few. Should I be worried about them?
As I'm poking around with the light I suddenly see something else in a closed in hole in the rock.. Its body kind of resembles a slug and it has what appears to be eyes on stalks like a snail but it also appears to have a number of small legs like a shrimp. It's maybe 1/2" long and has very tiny green spots on the body.
It pokes out into the light and then darts back in so I can't get get a really good look at it. Any ideas what it might be?
the bristle worms you describe are probably actualy tiny brittle starfish..and the shrimp could be many things without a pic to ID ..something like a little mantis shrimp,a larger copapod maybe.
Watching critters like this show up is the best part! check out this website if you want to try to match some pictures to what you are seeing

I'm going on a ski trip!!!
We ended up not getting much snow. So my boy scout troop and I are going on a ski trip to north carolina.:-D We do this trip every 2 years, and the last time was the most ironic thing ever. The day we were out skiing, WE GOT SNOW where I live.:|
Where do you live?
Sounds like a fun trip! Be sure to post some pictures, if you can. Probably don't want to take the camera down the hill with you though.:shock:
Sounds like fun!! I loved skiing when I lived in Colorado. I probably would fall on my rear end if I tried it now. lol
I've never gone skiing ... Well when I was 6 or 7 maybe but that no longer counts. I havent been able to find the time to go recently, but I really want to go snowboarding, my friends have went a couple of times but I'm too busy with work and school. Lucky for me theres some snow within a 2-3 hours drive from NYC :) ... now to find the time to go.... lol
Have fun and be safe!!!!
never been befor,always looks like a lot of fun.
safe trip have a great time.

Rosebank - Future perfectMon, 26 Jan 2009 12:01 AM
For many a native Jo'burger, the suburb of Rosebank conjures up images of tree-lined streets framing old-style apartment buildings, noble residences with green, leafy grounds and an array of vibrant shopping and dining spots.
Now, however, one would be forgiven for thinking that this once elegant suburb is nothing but a dusty, noisy construction site, with cranes dotting the skyline and scaffolding blighting the landscape. While this may be true for the time being, there is a forecasted happy ending to all the bustle and chaos ? a multi-million Rand facelift for one of Johannesburg's oldest and much-loved suburbs.
Set to run straight through the suburb
Why all the fuss? Because the Gautrain, Gauteng's answer to traffic congestion and lack of public transport, is under construction in preparation for the 2010 World Cup and it's set to run straight through the suburb. Rosebank Station is currently being built and will make the area more accessible to visitors and hopefully improve the locals' daily commute to and from work. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system should also help make daily travel in the city more bearable.
While some valuable examples of Art Deco architecture will remain, the revamp is seeing many of the more old-fashioned, rundown residences replaced by a host of somewhat trendier, mixed-use developments, many of which boast apartments that are fast becoming the envy of many up-and-coming professionals who seek urban living close to public amenities and convenient public transport systems.
Despite all the tumult, the pedestrian-friendly culture that is the charm of Rosebank remains intact and continues to lend the suburb investment appeal.
According to Ian Ollis, Democratic Alliance councillor for Ward 90, the Rosebank node was initially designed to be pedestrian-friendly and plans by the Rosebank Management District (RMD) as well as the new City of Johannesburg Urban Design Framework (UDF) are afoot to play up this aspect of the area still further. Almost anything a shopper needs will be within walking distance of the station.
Pedestrian culture unique in Jo'burg
"This pedestrian culture is unique in Johannesburg and provides retailers with a large amount of foot traffic. Also, the Rosebank Station will push the amount of foot traffic through the malls and cafes to much higher levels even than before," says Ollis.
Judith Briggs, a long-time resident and member of the Rosebank Action Group, sums up the suburb's allure: "Rosebank was an early business hub outside the city centre and has always had a strong retail sector presumably because of its location close to desirable residential suburbs such as Melrose, Houghton and Parkwood.
"It also has good medical centres, established churches and private and public schools. There are the attractions of shopping centres, including The Zone and Rosebank Mall, as well as entertainment venues and many restaurants." In fact, Rosebank ? with its mix of residential homes, clusters, townhouses and flats ? offers the best of both worlds: an urban lifestyle plus the benefit of green, open spaces close by. "The proximity to public green areas in the form of the Zoo Lake, the zoo itself and smaller parks add to the sense of open space," says Briggs.
"Rosebank is a vibrant, multi-cultural business and tourist hub which has very successfully combined a commercial node within an attractive working, shopping and entertainment environment," says the head of the Rosebank Management District (RMD), Jenny Alexander.
"Due to its compact size, people can enjoy the outdoor atmosphere en route to their destination. Whether it's a cappuccino under an acacia tree, a visit to one of the country's top galleries, watching an art house movie, shopping at top designer boutiques or strolling around the neighbourhood taking in the Art Deco architecture ? Rosebank has something for everyone," she adds.
Investors favour Rosebank's proximity to the Sandton and Johannesburg CBDs
Rosebank's close proximity to the Sandton and Johannesburg business districts is another factor that's helping it gain the favour of investors as it navigates the property market slump better than other suburbs.
The business development director at Lightstone Risk Management, Andrew Watt, says properties around the intended Gautrain route are experiencing a boom in both price and activity.
"With all of the investment in upgrading accommodation and infrastructure around the Gautrain stations, there has been much anecdotal evidence of increasing interest from property investors in residential property around the new stations," Watt says.

I don't know if they have yet. But if you figure restructuring Sanchez contract, and borrowing 3M against a future cap, that might get them close.
Nothing we can do about it. Jets will have best 1-2 punch at CB in the league bar none if Aso joins them. Means we need to counter punch with a WR that can stretch it a bit and is big and physical.

Sick and tired of pretending that drug and alcohol use - specifically among teens and 20-something aged residents - is not a problem in East Haddam, officials are stepping in and taking a proactive approach by banning together with other communities and organizations to openly discuss the issue and try to come up with ways to change it.
What a great idea - because you know kids can't combat this stuff all by themselves and sometimes, the problem of drug and alcohol abuse is simply too much for families to handle - by the time you figure out there is a problem, the problem is way beyond you. I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who know of a family that has been touched by drug and alcohol abuse, so you can certainly understand the challenges.
When I met with the town's first selectman Mark Walter recently, he told me East Haddam, Essex, Deep River, Chester, Killingworth and Haddam have been working on receiving a regional state grant to address underage drinking. The grant would support a six week educational program, available to parents and families, led by Resident State Troopers from each of these towns who have been trained to network with state and local police departments, youth and family services, substance abuse counselors, town leaders and youth groups to try to address underage drinking. Parents would then become the educators, and take the information they learned from the session back to their friends, neighbors and community members.
In addition, East Haddam set up a Party Patrol with the state police and youth and family services, through which residents could call a hot line (860-873-5013) to report underage house parties, strangers/strange vehicles in their neighborhoods or other unusual activity that might give police a lead on potentially dangerous or harmful situations.
A Juvenile Review Board was also created, specifically to give underage kids (16 and younger) who are first time offenders a second chance and to provide an alternative to the juvenile court system. The board consists of professionals from the community who are already involved with East Haddam youth - police, youth and family services.
"People the kids know," said Walter. "Its a way for the kids not to go into the criminal system. It offeres advice, counseling and support, a first strike type of system. The thing is, the student has to admist guilt before being able to participate."
Another iniatiative that has been really well received, said Walter, is the series of free community forums that were offered, through which different subjects were addressed such as crime prevention, community policing and eye-opening discussions on drug use, the connections between drug abuse and crime - all led by youth and family services members and a parent, whose child died from a drug overdose.
The forums, said Walter, began after several East Haddam youths had overdosed, one of which resulted in death.
"I never knew how bad it was, until I started talking to the police and youth and family services," Mr. Walter said of drug use among East Haddam youth.
Walter says he hopes the forums have got people thinking and working together. Another similar series may be offered if there is interest.
"We are going to review the effect all this has had, to see how we should proceed," said Walter.
Anything is worthwhile when it comes to saving kids from the hell of drug and alcohol addiction - let's hope these forums, hotlines, community conversations and collaborations can get things changing in East Haddam.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, January 30, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Smiling is something that all professionals are encouraged to do when interacting with others--particularly if they are directly communicating with clients, shareholders, and other important people who support the success of a business. As such, many people are not surprised to find a correlation between an improved smile and enhanced professional opportunities. In a reaction to an article posted by Deseret News, Dr. Keith Ostrosky, noted dental professional, explains that he has seen a major difference in the career prospects of several of his patients after they underwent the procedures necessary to straighten, whiten, and otherwise improve their teeth.
The article provides an anecdote that regales the story of Shelly, a woman who was not only qualified for a job but beloved by her peers, who was not given a permanent position because of her teeth. The office manager who was responsible for the decision to replace her with someone else reportedly stated, according to the article, that the image she projected was not one he wanted reflected on the clinic at which she had been temporarily employed. The article notes that this issue is more common than one might think: "This is not an isolated incident. Studies show bad teeth prevent otherwise qualified candidates from getting jobs or promotions."
As one might suspect, the inverse of this issue is also applicable in certain situations. As Dr. Ostrosky explains, he has seen a rise in professional possibilities for patients who have dental work done.
"I have had many patients either get new jobs, earn promotions, or receive raises after having dental work done that improves their dentition, looks, and smile," asserts Dr. Keith Ostrosky. "It is amazing how much more somebody smiles and truly looks happier after they receive the dental services necessary to fix issues with their teeth. Some people have been hiding their feelings for the larger part of their lives because they wanted to cover up their teeth, and these are the people who simply glow after their dental work is complete. I find it an honor to work with such patients--and to provide the medical care that enables them to move forward in their careers and, ultimately, in their lives."
Dr. Keith Ostrosky leads Ostrosky Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in South St. Paul, Minnesota. Through his work, he provides a variety of services to clients of all ages, including procedures regarding oral hygiene, dental cleaning, halitosis (bad breath), sealants, bonding, fillings, crowns, bridges, tooth extractions, root canals, implants, nightguards, TMJ, whitening, veneers, and more. Dr. Keith Ostrosky holds a degree from the University of Minnesota Dental School and has undergone advanced training regarding endodontics, which entails the performance of root canals. Additionally, he has completed training in oral surgery. Dr. Keith Ostrosky and his staff members strive to offer the best care possible to each patient, from the administrative services provided at the reception desk to the medical procedures performed in the examination rooms.

So today I read an article in the paper about local sugar daddies
It was about sugar daddies and the amount of students that use this website that connects them. It turns out my university has the highest number of sugar girls or whatever you call them earning money for tuition and everything else. I admit I made a profile so I can recognize any familiar faces.
I'm not sure if I look down on this sort of thing or if it's actually a smart idea. On one hand they earn money and they just hang out with a guy for a while. They do whatever the girl consents to. On the other hand, it seems to me to be on the same level of stripping for tuition. You wouldn't want to be caught doing this.
It got me thinking, I would try this because of the money factor.
So I guess the question is, would you do this sort of thing?
And they're called sugar babies. Eventually you have to put out for an old man or get your benefits cut.
if the money's good, i don't blame them.
Can't knock the hustle.
They're pretty cool but always end up making my mouth sticky.
Hanging out with women who pay for it?
I'd do it for free :shrug:
unless I'm an idiot who's not getting the full picture
Men pay women to hang out with them.
More power to them.
Sex should be saved for
Serious relationships
I forgot
What this
Thread was about of Imm honest with youz
idc I just hope the girls don't feel forced into doing this kind of thing :(

"Solving Public Health Problems Through Innovation"
Featuring: Liz Morris
A few years ago, Liz Morris began graduate school at UNC looking to help improve lives in developing countries. Her research made her confront the realities of poor sanitation caused by a lack of infrastructure and water. A new toilet was necessary: it had to be hygienic, cost-efficient, waterless, odorless, and environmentally friendly. She realized that this academic solution might actually have real-world business potential.
With degrees in packaging science and engineering, her academic background did little to prepare her to become an entrepreneur - but that is just what she has become, a toilet entrepreneur who has founded Sanitation Creations to help the world, one toilet at a time.
The innovative toilet she has brought to market, called "the Dungaroo," uses specially-lined bags that kill pathogens, which are then sealed and flushed into its base after use. She presented her startup to Nobel Peace Prize Winner Mohammad Yunus last year making it as a finalist in a state-wide social business competition, won the 2012 Cherokee Challenge, and was named a Blackstone Entrepreneurship Network Company and a Green Plus Mover Company. Her startup also won the Alumni Track of the Carolina Challenge and won the 2013 Green Plus Sole Proprietor of the year. She has been featured on Dream Big America, Forbes, and NBC, among others.
Featuring: Alice Wang
Alice Wang is an Environmental Sciences and Engineering doctoral candidate at the Gillings School of Global Public health. Upon the result of groundbreaking reseearch by Dr. Mark Sobsey and Dr. Ku McMahan, she co-founded Aquagenx, a company providing innovative water quality testing products that detect potential health risks and help eliminate the millions of annual deaths due to contaminated drinking water.
The Compartment Bag Test (CBT) is a portable, simple, household-level test that detects and quantifies fecal bacteria in water without the need for a lab, electricity, or expertise. It can be used by individuals, non-governmental organizations, water utilities and disaster/emergency responders for ongoing water quality monitoring. It has the potential to prevent the spread of infectious disease that kills millions annually by providing actionable data to inform safe water policies and programs, and by helping to stimulate behavior change among people and communities around the world.
This year, Aquagenx received the USAID Pionners Prize of 2013 and last year, won first place in the Carolina Challenge, was one of four winners of UNC's Social Innovation Challenge, and also won the South Regional Champion in the Walmart Better Living Business Plan Challenge. Aquagenx has been featured on the USAID Innovation Catalog, in the Digital Journal, and in the University Gazette.
Featuring: William Vizuete
William Vizuete is an associate professor in the environmental sciences and engineering department at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. He is not satisfied with working in a lab and wants to see his research benefit the world, working toward reducing the effects of air pollutants on human health.
He has been using the UNC outdoor smog chamber, an air research laboratory on the roof of McGavran-Greenberg Hall (the only model of its kind in the U.S.), to measure the effects of air pollutants on human lung cells.
He uses high performance computers and three-dimensional simulations to model the atmosphere to try to improve our understanding about how air pollution forms. This knowledge will help advise policymakers enabling them to develop effective strategies to improve air quality, creating a healthier environment for everyone.
Featuring: Allison Myers
Allison Myers is a PhD student in the Department of Health Behavior at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. She is the Co-Founder of Counter Tobacco and also serves as Deputy Director of the startup nonprofit Counter Tools. Both organizations offer resources and tools to empower government health departments and community partners to pass policies that counteract retail tobacco marketing and promote health.
Tobacco use remains the leading case of preventable death and disability in the United States. Every year in the United States, tobacco kills more than 440,000 people and costs more than $150 billion in health care expenses. The point of sale (typically a convenience store, gas station, or small grocery store) is currently the lead channel for tobacco industry marketing, with tobacco companies vying for brand impressions, shelf space, and consumer loyalty. In 2010, the tobacco industry spent $7 billion dollars on ads, displays and discount pricing at retail outlets. This prompts smoking initiation, encourages tobacco use, and undermines quit attempts.
The solution? Counter Tools' store audit and store mapping tools help document and visually display tobacco retailer data to directly support policy change, taking public health advocacy from a community problem to a policy solution.

Residential housing: the drag drags on
Saturday, January 31, 2009
I am sure that you have all heard about the Steep Slide in Economy as Unsold Goods Pile Up. I won't bore you with my view of the report because others have already done a superb job of interpreting it. Here are several well-articulated takes on the various components of the Bureau of Economic Analysis' massive GDP report:
- From the Baseline Scenario: Random Observations on the GDP Announcement
- From ECONOMICPICDATA: GDP Price Index Turns Negative: Stimulus on the Cheap?
- From WSJ Real Time Economics: GDP Data Show Pain of U.S. Slump Abroad
- From Econbrowser: Oh yes it's a recession all right
But here are my two scents worth on the report: housing continues to be the bane of the U.S. economy's existence, even though new residential construction (housing starts) hit its lowest level...ever (at least since the series started in 1959)!Residential construction's share of overall GDP is slipping quickly.
But it's drag on the economy is not.
This is truly amazing. Have you ever seen the DVD series Planet Earth? There are several shots of a predator (let's say a lion) attacking its prey (perhaps a Zebra); and even though the prey was likely to escape, the predator just wouldn't let go. Something like that.

What Will 'Justified' Pull Out of Raylan's Hat For Season 4?
If you're still buzzing about Justified's Season Three finale, "Slaughterhouse" then you're probably wondering about what will happen in season 4. There were no cheap cliffhangers to hold viewers hostage–not that there's anything wrong with those, but that's where Justified sets itself apart from many shows, because they can close stories at the end, they satisfy and they know how to build a season from the ground up and start over again. You have to admire that kind of confident storytelling and thankfully, FX recognized that so that viewers could experience it. They already know you'll come back, but Graham Yost, Elmore Leonard and the rest of the Justified writers wrapped up several plot lines that began in Seasons One and Two in addition to those started in Season 3. Does that mean that they didn't leave some morsels for us to chew on? Of course not. Here are seven stories that should be touched on Season 4.
Bonnie, Johnny & Clyde
Boyd (Walton Goggins) ultimately got his release from custody at Arlo's expense and we now know that it was Johnny who told Limehouse (Mykelti Williamson) about Devil's murder. Was it shocking that Johnny was the leak? No, but you could tell that he wasn't happy with Limehouse spilling that can of beans, thus setting off a new conflict to square. Johnny can't tell Boyd because that would show to him that he was the one who told Limehouse in the first place. And now Johnny will have a score to settle with Limehouse on his own but he won't have Arlo hallucinating about Helen to pawn off suspicion. Ava (Joelle Carter) will surely step up but would Boyd let her take care of family business? She's a crowder but she isn't blood. Boyd let Quarles, an outsider, poison the town of Harlan; if anyone's going to do that, it's going to be him. Barring another outsider or newcomer from within Harlan, this has to be Boyd's big season. He's spent most of Season 3 rebuilding his resources and weeding out obsolete help and Ava will continue to prove herself an equal partner. Which brings us to…
As You Wish, Ma'am
Ava let Ellen May (Abby Miller) know who's running Audrey's and how the whereabouts of Delroy need to remain secret. How far is Ava bought into Boyd's dreams and goals? She was aiming to run it herself and she never ceases to surprise viewers, herself, and those characters surrounding her including Johnny, Boyd, and Raylan. As for the girls of Audrey's, who thought that things were going to improve for them with Delroy dead? Who's having second thoughts now?
Shelby For Sheriff
Shelby (Jim Beaver) drew the line in the sand between he and Boyd. They're square, so says Shelby. But now that Boyd is in the position to scheme once again, Shelby will have to deal with keeping him in line or be caught in the crossfire. Wouldn't it be ironic if Shelby plays a part in taking Boyd down?
Noble's Holler and Its Protector
Limehouse proved that he is not clean but aims to do anything that would keep unneeded attention away from Noble's Holler. I don't think he'd do anything to be a villain in the purest sense, and even though he wasn't forthcoming with all the information Raylan, he helped take care of Quarles. One might say he saved his life and for that Raylan owes him another one. Let's not forget that Raylan's mother seeked refuge at Noble's Holler too. Limehouse helped protect and carry out Mags' wishes to leave the money with Loretta and he still has a relationship–a friendship with Ava– that may come into play. Limehouse has to deal with Johnny's threat and he'll need a new right hand man. Is Bernard (Cleavon McClendon) ready to step up his game?
Winona and Her Baby Daddy
Raylan and Winona (Natalie Zea) continue to come at an impasse in their relationship. Telling stories of severed arms don't help. Raylan is going to want to be there for his kid, especially how everything with Arlo has shaken out. But can he be selfless enough to be there when it counts? Can Winona find some middle ground? C'mon Winona, at least Raylan's out of the motel (um, but is sleeping with the bartender of the bar he bounces and lives at).
Raylan's Support Group
Even though he's been a loner most of his life, he will have a child to worry about soon and will need help dealing with some of the baggage he's carrying. Will he depend on Art more to keep him smiling? Can he really count on Winona to be the support he needs? Will Rachel (Erica Tazel) and Tim (Jacob Pitts) help in unprecedented ways and is he willing to accept working with others and follow Marshal procedure? Has his fling with Lindsey (Jenn Lyon) fizzled or just started? Speaking of which, will Raylan continue to moonlight and live at the bar?
Dumb and Dumber and Dumbest
We shouldn't see Arlo (Raymond J. Barry) or Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies) among the free for quite awhile, but that doesn't mean that they're gone for good. Dickie will likely find his way to Dewey (Damon Herriman), while Arlo is scheduled to rot in prison. Raylan's father at some point will lay in the Givens family plot, but will there be forgiveness there? How will the events of the finale affect their relationship if at all? Fletcher "Ice Pick" Nix (Desmond Harrington) is someone who could realistically come back and cause trouble And let's not forget that Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) and Mike (Jonathan Kowalsky) are still running around as free men. If he's smart, Duffy should be planning to leave the state for good after playing his last game of Harlan Roulette, but then again, this is Wynn Duffy we're talking about here. He could come back and try to take credit for Quarles' death. He could also sell Theo Tonin (Adam Arkin) on the idea of exploiting Kentucky and keeping a thread alive for Detroit means that a window would remain open for Michael Ironside to return as Sarno. I know it's a stretch, but who doesn't want more Ironside?
Is there another story you think is going to come up? Is there a scene or detail you think will grow into a major story line in Season 4? Share your thoughts below!

President Obama's recent appointment of an Interagency Trade Enforcement Committee to stop unfair trade and ensure a "level playing field" for U.S. industry and workers made me smile. In the mid-1980s, I was appointed director of the Reagan administration's Strike Force, a similar interagency group, that was to seek out unfair trade wherever it might be and smite it down.
The first target was then-heavy European subsidization of the development of the Airbus. The Airbus looked like a sitting duck. The whole development program was clearly in violation of a number of the rules of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the predecessor to today's World Trade Organization (WTO). Nevertheless, the Airbus was also the last target of the Strike Force. Why? Well, when the proposal to take action against the Airbus subsidies reached then Secretary of State George Shultz, he said any such move would "shatter NATO." This not only stopped the complaint against Airbus in its tracks. It also scuttled the Strike Force before it could claim any strikes.
What was going on? Business as usual for the United States, for which geopolitics is the paramount national interest. For as long as I can remember, there has never been a military base, a U.N. vote, or a smooth state visit for which Washington was not prepared to make a trade concession or sacrifice a U.S. industry. (As a young Foreign Service officer on my first assignment in the Netherlands, I was told that my job was to promote Dutch exports to America.)
After the Strike Force incident, I was on another Reagan administration team tasked with dealing with unfair trade by Japan under the direction of then Vice President George H.W. Bush. It was agreed at the beginning of the mission that the vice president would make no celebratory trip to Japan unless the task force succeeded in halting the offending trade practices. In the end, there was no halt to such practices, but Bush made the trip anyhow after the National Security Council director for Asia emphasized that "we must have those bases. Now that's the bottom line."
What he was suggesting was that if Bush offended the Japanese by not coming to celebrate a non-agreement with them, use of Japanese military bases would somehow be denied to the U.S. forces then defending Japan. In fact, there was never any chance of losing access to the bases, but the National Security Council and the State Department cared more about keeping relations smooth with Japan than they did about the fate of U.S. exports and U.S. industries being hurt by Japanese trade practices.

Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon parents of twins
Sunday, May 1, 2011
NEW YORK (AP) — Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone — becoming parents to a baby girl and boy.
Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births to The Associated Press. The singing superstar gave birth Saturday morning at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger says the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.
Berger says the couple has not named the children yet. Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger says while Carey was calm, Cannon was so nervous he went the wrong department at the hospital.
The couple are expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday. Berger says they were listening to Carey's "We Belong Together" after the children were born.

Ice fishing at 11 Mile Reservoir is one of Howie Schommer's passions. He says he thought nothing of heading up to the scenic spot last February until he started feeling ill. He called his son, who in turn dialed 911.
Howie says two ambulance rides later he was at Penrose Main.
Howie explains, "Everybody treated me great. I was at Penrose Hospital... released within 40 hours."
Howie says he made a great recovery and had no problems til the bills arrived.
That's when he noticed this one from Centura Health and St. Anthony's Hospital in Denver for a helicopter transport for more than $16,000.
$16,000 his insurance company had already paid.
Howie tells me, "I said look we did not get a helicopter ride. I called my agent and he got on it."
Howie says for months he, his wife, and his insurance agent tried to get the mistake corrected, but to no avail.
He says he couldn't believe it .
No one seemed to care or want to fix the error.
Howie says, "They said it did not matter. All their paperwork was in line with what they requested and they had paid the bill for $16,000."
Howie made a Call for Action and I called and emailed Centura Health.
Just hours later... Howie got this voice mail from Flight for Life Colorado.
The recording says, "It was absolutely our error. We are correcting it."
Howie was told the charge had been removed from his bill and his insurance company would be credited the $16,603.87.
The recording goes on to say, "You were transported by ambulance and mistakenly billed for a helicopter flight which should not have happened and we've traced it back and discovered where the flaw was."
Howie says, "I waited almost a year before I contacted you. As soon as you made the call, then there was action taken."
Howie says having the charge removed didn't put a dime in his pocket, but he's still trying to find out if his insurance rates went up because of that original charge.
He says Assurant Health increased his rates by 100%, quite a change from the year before when rates only went up 25%.
Howie says, "I haven't gotten one word from Assurant other than the quotes were double what they were last year."
We asked Assurant Health if Howie's heart attack was the reason for the increase... all I got was this email response.
It says Assurant won't talk specifics. A spokesperson says several factors can account for new rates like the rising cost of prescription drugs and medical services as well as an increase in the use of services by members.
Howie's now shopping around.
So what can we all learn from this?
If you wind up in the hospital... know your rights.
Medical Billing Advocates of America... a leading expert in detecting overcharges and mistakes on medical bills tells me... 8 out of 10 medical bills contain errors.

So after you're hospitalized... ask for an itemized statement. This allows you to look at every single item for which you and your insurance company were charged.
Don't be afraid to question any suspicious charge. It could be a procedure that never was done or medicine you never requested.
Finally call your insurance company to appeal any denial the company makes.
It's your money and your right to question those charges.

My friends save their sticks from their ice-creams at the amateur theatre we frequent automaticaly now, for me to take home and wash to make plant labels.
One of my work colleagues partakes in Tesco sushi at lunchtime and saves the chopsticks for me for plant labels.
Old inner tubes make strong rubber bands - slice at different angles for different sizes.
Underneath the kids trampoline makes a great extension to the chicken run.
Old tent poles for staking Hollyhocksand such - the good thing is you add each new length as the plant grows this way you don't have a field of sticks to look at all spring.
A paper potter can be made easily from a short length of tube and a slightly narrower length of wood. If your interested - what you do is take a strip of newspaper and roll it on to one end of the tube so that the paper overlaps the tube then stuff the exess backinto the tube and use your stick to tamp down the newly formed pot. Its a work of seconds. (To make it stronger before you roll it you can fold a 1 cm edge along the length of the paper where the lip of the pot is to be. To make it even stronger you can fold the tail end in half to make a diagonal finish to the paper)
To save on pruning all you need is a ball , a boy and his mates.
An old tee shirt cut into inch wide strip and rolled into a ball is good for tying up tomatoes Sheila
I'm trialling a new method of keeping the greenhouse warm at night. Having collected plastic milk bottles and filled them with rain water, I have placed them under potting benches in the greenhouse so that they absorb heat from the sun in the day and slowly release it at night. This will also provide a store of water which I can use to water plants if we have a dry spell.
I use an empty, washed out plastic milk bottle as a scoop for putting soil into plant pots.
Instructions - turn the plastic bottle upside down with lid on. Cut a slant edge from the bottom.Hold the handle and happy gardening .
Farmers are quite pleased to see the back of their empty liquid fertalizer containers and they make a great 1000 litre water storeage tank. Along with old dustbins which freestand about in my alloment.
I re-use old margerine containers as mini seed propagators. Clean them thoroughly and put some holes in the base. Cut out most of the centre portion of the lid using a craft knife or sharp scissors, leaving a frame around the edge. The design on the top usually gives a neat template for this. Fill the pot with compost, sow your seed and cover with cling film. Replace the lid, which then creates a tight seal. You can easily see progress through the cling film.
In then cut the discarded top into 3 strips to use as markers, using a chinagraph pencil or marker pen.
I also clean and re-use supermarket meat trays. The opaque ones make good drip trays. match them to fit your seed trays, margerine containers or modules (I save the ones I buy seedlings in, with careful handling they last several years and save ££s).
The clear plastic ones make excellent propogator tops - again match them to the bottoms and you get a snug fit.
We don't buy expensive canes from the garden centre. We got ourselves a non-invasive variety of bamboo which grows at the back of the garden & acts as a screen - it's so easy to use the mature canes from that each year for plant supports, plus they can be bent when freshly cut, and the used dried out canes are good for making homes for overwintering insects.
Join bamboo canes together to provide frames for netting etc, by using old tennis balls with slits cut to take the canes, instead of buying the expensive rubber balls and other fixings. (If you haven't got a tennis player in the family, you can get packs of cheap balls from pound shops).
Take a tip from fishermen and repair torn netting instead of buying more.
Shake the worst of the dirt from fleece and put in the washing machine to use again.
Use clothes pegs for holding fleece, netting, etc. to canes.
Put EMPTY snail shells on the top of canes as eye protectors.
Salvage(or scrounge from furniture shops) large pieces of polythene from large delivered items (e.g. beds) to use as covers for 'tunnels' (made from salvaged wire coathangers).
I lost two lots of young healthy pea seedlings in my greenhouse a couple of years ago (mice, I think!) so I salvaged some plastic runged shelves from fridges in my local council dump. I placed long bamboo canes through the metal bars in the eaves of my greenhouse and hung the shelves on with sturdy twine. The seedlings thrived and were out of the way of any rodents.
I have kept my old bath tub and before winter filled it with the year old compost from my black plastic compost bins and all the tired compost in containers. Mixed it up and left covered in foam carpet underlay over wonter. I just uncovered it today and gave it a stir and it is teeming with lovely worms. Once tipped onto the garden there will be room to tip out all the kitchen compost from over winter and off we go again.
A seasonal Easter tip here - if you are a lover of hard boiled eggs, why not try this little trick - once you have finished your scrummy egg, plant up your seeds in the empty egg shell - once they have matured a little, then can then be popped straight into the ground - the shell will break down and provide nutrients to your plant as it does so - win win!
In times of drought - after washing up, pour your washing up water on your garden and water plants. The washing up liquid will not do the plants any harm.

Here you go, another cheap project.
One simple curved oak bench that measures approx 8' long x 16" wide x 4" deep. Total cost £25.00 The squirrel was simply carved out from more scrap oak.
Always have a gardeners eye for reusing seeming useless items, to date I have
1) Reused the wooden slats from an old venetian blind as plant labels, plus the control wand as a plant support and the strings for tying back.
2) Large thick plastic ice cream pots now double as plant pots (They just needed a few holes drilled through the base for drainage).
3) Old decking boards leftovers from a friends decking project made a great raised planter (check the internet for raised bed plans if unsue how to do this) or alternatively scaffold boards can be brought cheaply from reclamation yards.
4) An old double glazing unit recycled, the glass taken out of the white upvc frame work and used to make the lidded top of a cold frame. The timber side walls were originally from an old shipping pallett that I carefully pulled apart.
5) Save seeds for replanting the following year - Several excellent guides on this site alone.

Nice one!
Don't forget to use the bit you have cut off by cutting it into strips which make great plant labels!!
I use the polystyrene trays from the fish & chip shop to place between the plantpot and the planter, for when they stand in the greenhouse through the winter.Helps keep them warm.
Also old washing up bowls with holes drilled in, for planting shallow rooted salad crops ie lettuce, radish, etc as my veg patch is small and space at a premium.
Old tights legs are great for tying things up as theres lots of elasticity, and they don't cut into stems. Can be used complete for the hevy stuff or cut into 1inch strips for the delicate bits.
Of course bits of polystyrene packing in the bottom of pots instead of crocks as this cuts down on the weight.
Foil take-away cartons (thoroughly washed) - either with holes in for seeding trays, or without used as trays for seeding pots on window sills allowing plenty of water to be added from the base. The circular ones are the perfect size for 6 small decomposeable pots.

How do I get my 3 month old to take a bottle?
I've tried everything and almost every type of bottle - Avent, Playtex. BreastFlow, Adiri. My husband has tried giving the bottle when I'm away from the house to no avail. My baby will not take a bottle. We gave up after two hours of constant crying. mY poor husband called me and I came rushing back to the house. My baby eats very frequently, so even a two hour trip away from her means that she will need a bottle. Any suggestions on how to get baby to take a bottle w/o the awful crying??

Oh my gosh, I'm having the same problem with my 5 month old - she's only taken the bottle twice. I don't mind breast feeding but we are going on a trip and it would be so nice to be able to give her a bottle every once in a while.posted 10/26/2010 by alexboese
Husband tried for 6 weeks and had 2 successful tries while he was napping. We tried the Mam, Nuk, Platex, Gerber, Adiri, First Year Breast Flow. So far we have had limited success with the Nuks bottle but only when he naps. When we try it during his schedule feeding time, he just cries and has a fit. He eventually puts himself to sleep and my husband gives the bottle then. When we try when it is not his feeding time and he is awake he will play with the bottle nipple until he gets bored, no sucking at all. We were advised by a lactation consultant to change to a medium flow niipple b/c I produce a lot of milk in my breast and baby is probably used to the quicker flow. This didn't work for us, but it sounded like good advice for others who are having trouble. I don't know how to transition the taking the bottle from napping to taking the bottle while awake. If anyone has any advice, please post.posted 10/26/2010 by wallybella
This might be a little unorthodox but try pure maple syrup. Just dap a TINY bit onto the nipple. Make sure that it is pure maple though. You can even buy organic just to be extra safe. Apparently this is something that they used back in the olden days. Just enough for the baby to taste it. I did this with both my sons and it worked. Also, make sure that you hold him/her as if you were going to breastfeed. I rest the bottle on top of my breast. Good luck.posted 10/23/2010 by Ciamak1020

Capsule CRM
I've been using Capsule CRM for a few months now, and I love it.
I've set up recurring "tracks," which are linear task lists for recurring things, such as "sole trader accounts and tax return." This in turn populates your to do list.
What I plan to do come April 6th, is to sort all my clients by March YE (a label I can attach to a client) then email them all requesting books in. I tick the "requested books in" task, then it reminds me in 14 days to ask again if I've not already had the books in.
This is how I plan to keep on top of getting info earlier this year...
Email but phone quite soon
The software looks good, especially for smaller practices were it would be free!
I was planning on emailing a couple of times and then phoning.
The emails could explain the P11D issues with employer clients (if employers) and the advantage of knowing the tax due early.

Putting aside whatever one's feelings on trading Jesus Montero for Michael Pineda might have been, the logic of the trade was a pretty obvious need-for-need swap between the Yankees and Mariners. The Mariners have quite a bit of pitching in their organization, but have next to nothing in the way of promising hitters. The Yankees were looking for an upgrade to their pitching staff in the short term, and were rather thin on high ceiling pitching in the system, especially if you think Dellin Betances' future most likely lies in the bullpen. So far, the rationale for both sides is pretty obvious, but that breaks down entirely from the Mariners' perspective, in my opinion, once we get to the other two pitchers included in the deal.
I liked Hector Noesi more than most, it seemed, but the fact remains that he was a relatively low ceiling, though probably MLB ready, pitching prospect. In addition, with the acquisition of Pineda the Yankees wouldn't have an obvious need for Noesi in 2012, and he would have become the 7th pitcher on the depth chart (before the signing of Hiroki Kuroda and the trade of A.J. Burnett). Considering that te Mariners aren't likely to contend for the American League playoffs even in the best case scenario in 2012, and I still don't really understand why they were willing to throw in a young pitcher with the potential to develop into an ace like Campos fora middle of the rotation prospect like Noesi.
Of course, Montero is ready for the big leagues himself, and the Mariners really do need all the offensive help they can get. Plus, there's a reasonably decent chance that the 19 year old Campos never throws a single pitch in the big leagues, no matter how shiny he is as a prospect right now. But, on the whole, I initially thought the Mariners made a really strange trade, and the benefit of hindsight hasn't really changed that any. The Mariners over-paid for the package they got and, if things go right (which, to be fair, they rarely do with young pitchers), the Yankees may have landed two ace pitchers for Montero.
