I have been working with a trainer that believes 3 days of lifting weights is more effective for losing weight than cardio 3-5 days a week. he says that the muscle I am building will start to burn fat more effectively than cardio alone.
So, for the last 2 months I have been lifting weights M-W-F and doing 30 minutes of light cardio on T-Th.
I have celiac so I do not eat a lot of carbs. I do a protein shake after working out each morning and try to eat 4-5 smaller meals of high protein/veggies the rest of the day. Lots of water and no soda/juice.
In the last 2 months I have only lost about 5 pounds. I don't see a big difference in the way my clothes fit so I don't think I am losing inches.
He is very good at what he does and I am trusting him because I didn't even lose 5 pounds on my own! I am thinking that i should stop with the weights and do more cardio until I lose the 20 pounds that I need to lose and then do the weights to tone and stay in shape.

I have a need to do auditing all database activity regardless of whether it came from application or someone issuing some sql via other means. So the auditing must be done at the database level. The database in question is Oracle. I looked at doing it via Triggers and also via something called Fine Grained Auditing that Oracle provides. In both cases, we turned on auditing on specific tables and specific columns. However, we found that Performance really sucks when we use either of these methods.
Since auditing is an absolute must due to regulations placed around data privacy, I am wondering what is best way to do this without significant performance degradations. If someone has Oracle specific experience with this, it will be helpful but if not just general practices around database activity auditing will be okay as well.

About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder (graded Outstanding - July 2010) and I work in and around the village I live - Little Gaddesden, near Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead.

If you would like to know more please visit my website
My Experience
I have childminded children of all ages for 20 years, as my own have grown up. I did some emergency fostering in the past. I have help run / co-ordinate various toddler groups over the years, and still do.
One of my biggest assets is being in a small village with lots of outdoor space which I take full advantage of with walks every week, park visits almost daily and picnics in the summer, which the children thoroughly enjoy.

Contact me to see if I have spaces available.
I collect from Little Gaddesden School and pre-school, Potten End School and pre-school and Kingfisher Montessori in Gaddesden Row.

Below are the latest reviews for Sarah C0. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
My daughter had been in a very good nursery since she was 10 months old and my son since 6 months. When Grace started half day nursery classes at her primary school I needed to find an alternative and more flexible childcare solution. Sarah had been recommended to me by several people so I decided to move both the children to her (my son was 18 months and Grace was 3 1/2). It was the best move I could have made and I wished wholeheartedly that I had found her sooner.
Whilst I was very happy with nursery, Sarah has so much more to offer. When I used to pick the children up from nursery they were invariably 'frazzled' and tearful after a full on day. Sarah's is home from home and both children were noticeably more relaxed and rested being in a home environment with peaceful places to sleep or relax. Sarah also makes a real effort to take the children out to get fresh air and stimulation. Every day they go to different parks or playgroups and get lots of time outdoors in Sarah's really well equipped garden. Very importantly she can offer so much more flexibility than a nursery. If I am delayed on the train I no longer stress - she is always happy to hold on to them and will even bath them if I am really late. They love being together and I only have one pick-up.
There has never been a moment when I have regretted changing both children to Sarah's welcoming and loving home - I just wish I had used her from the beginnning!
My daughter recently started 'BIG' school and as a working Mum I was overly concerned about how we could juggle childcare and, more importantly, who I could trust and feel comfortable with to take on this role.
I spoke to many Mums about my worries and various sources including Childcare.co.uk led me to Sarahs door.
From the first time I contacted Sarah I have found her welcoming, unbelievably flexible, friendly, caring and my daughters happiness reassuring. The proof is in the pudding and upon Sarah's request I took my daughter for a visit to see whether she felt comfortable in Sarah's surroundings and company.
One thing I loved about Sarah's surroundings is that it provides a home from home environment, if the children are tired they can chill out on the sofa, if they want to draw or read they can and if they want to run around outside they can do that too. The surroundings provide the children with the autonomy of choice they have at home under excellent supervision.
My fears were totally unfounded, my daughter was at home immediately and the settling-in process was very smooth; so much so that when I did pick up on my day off my daughter asked me why I was doing it - she wanted Sarah!
Trust and flexibility in a caring, loving and thriving environment is all important and Sarah and her team provide this without question. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sarah; holiday care is also on offer and the activities / outings Sarah offers the children is second to none.
One very happy and chilled out Mum!
My two have been with Sarah for 3 years and have a great time in a wonderful, supportive home environment where kids thrive and grow into well rounded, confident and loving individuals.
Sarah is helpful, thoughtful and consistent, providing a flexible childcare facility in a great area for kids. It makes managing work and family so much easier and the availability of early drop off and later pick up, dealing with train delays etc without having to panic is a Godsend!
My 21 month old has been with Sarah since the summer and although I was nervous about finding the right child care for him, I have been delighted with how he has settled in.
Sarah and her team are great with the kids and it's great to see how well all the children get on and behave so well.
The most important thing for me was finding somebody I could trust completely and secondly I needed flexibility and Sarah and her team have been amazing. The moment I walked into Sarah's house I felt comfortable and I knew that James would be safe in her hands. I haven't heard of any child minder that is as accommodating as Sarah in terms of flexibility, she is just great and I would highly recommend her to all parents.
Our daughter has now been with Sarah for just under a year having joined when she was 11 months old.
As any parent will tell you looking for the right childcare can be hard work, thankfully after having visited a few other childcare establishments we were lucky enough to come across Sarah and the team. As soon as we first visited it just 'felt right' and it is now sometimes hard to get our child to come home with us at the end of the day!
Sarah seems to have an innate understanding of the fact that not only is every child an individual but every parent has different needs too and these are all met with empathy and professionalism.
We would not be able to get the right balance for us were it not for the level of flexibility offered, Sarah makes our lives as parents that little bit easier and offers our little girl the continuity of care we wanted. Definitely to be recommended.

Just rustling around Mod DB doing working on artworks, textures and of course getting mods. I have a group the 501st Legion Vader's Fist so feel free to join it. I am secretly a really tall midget. Shhh no tears only dreams now.
Terek Skirata was raised as any other Mandalorian until at age 10 the New Galactic Empire murdered his parents. Terek fled the scene and turned his back on his heritage because no Mandalorian would help him exact his revenge.
When he grew older and noticed the Mandalorians were finally regaining lost ground, he returned to help them and met Karr Ergeron whom he joined. Together with the rest of Requiem Company they fought against the Empire.
With the conclusion of the Mandalorian Uprising, Terek felt that he still hadn't gotten the revenge he wanted, whilst Requiem Company was satisfied with the victory. So Terek persauded other Mandalorians to join his own group, the 401st Company. Specifically to fight the Empire where ever it is.
He then joined the Federation after leaving the Mandalorians.

Developing Motivation to Write
Two decades of cognitive research have shown writing to be a highly fluid process of problem solving requiring constant monitoring of progress toward task goals. Becoming an able writer brings great intellectual and social rewards, but the extended nature and difficulty of this process create unique motivational challenges. Speech development provides some models for development of writing motivation, but writing requires special attention to motivational conditions. Four clusters of conditions are proposed as keys to developing motivation: nurturing functional beliefs about writing, fostering engagement using authentic writing tasks, providing a supportive context for writing, and creating a positive emotional environment. Teachers' own conceptions of writing are seen as crucial to establishing these conditions in most writing contexts. Systematic motivational research complementing our knowledge about the cognitive processes of writing is needed to understand the development of motivation to write. BRUNING AND HORN Random

Preparation H
The Preparation H line of hemorrhoid relief products has been providing relief for almost 90 years, earning a reputation as the "go to" products for hemorrhoid relief. Hemorrhoids, a condition characterized by dilated, swollen veins in the anal and rectal area, can be irritating, itchy, painful and a social embarrassment. The Preparation H line of hemorrhoid products targets these symptoms with the most advanced over-the-counter products available. As leaders in relieving hemorrhoid symptoms, the ingredients in these products work together to maximize effectiveness - so you get safe and effective relief from pain, itching and irritation due to hemorrhoids.
Preparation H: Targeting the Symptoms of Hemorrhoids
Products in the Preparation H line are made to provide temporary relief for the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids. When hemorrhoids flare, Preparation H offers cooling wipes with ingredients like witch hazel that soothe inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue and quiet the burn. They also offer products with ingredients that help constrict dilated vessels in the anus and rectum. This reduces swelling and eases the pain and discomfort of hemorrhoids safely and effectively. Some hemorrhoid flares are more painful than others. That's why Preparation H offers a maximum strength formula with added ingredients that maximizes pain relief while helping to shrink dilated vessels and address inflammation.
Hemorrhoids can be itchy too. That's why Preparation H offers formulations that contain hydrocortisone, an ingredient that helps to calm inflammation and irritation and minimize itching. It's reassuring to know you have a way to stop the itch, especially when you're in public. The Preparation H line provides targeted therapy for the most distressing symptoms of hemorrhoids. Doctors frequently recommend products in the Preparation H line for relieving the discomfort of hemorrhoids. Best of all, these products are available without a prescription.
Relief Comes in Different Forms
The Preparation H line comes in a variety of different forms from cooling, medicated wipes that soothe inflamed tissue to easy-to-apply gels, creams, ointments and suppositories. Each product is made to deliver the appropriate amount of hemorrhoid-relieving ingredients. The products come in convenient, discreet packaging that's easy to carry with you. Simply drop one in a purse or travel bag - or keep some in the glove compartment of your car (depending on climate and temperature) and/or your medicine cabinet at home. You never know when you'll need the relief that the Preparation H line offers.
It's important to follow your doctor's instructions for treating hemorrhoids but when you're looking for symptom relief, Preparation H is one of the most trusted names in the business. No one wants to have hemorrhoids; but when they strike, it's good to know that relief is available for you…thanks to the Preparation H line of products.

Legal Help Often Fails New York's Poor
Published: April 8, 2001
(Page 2 of 5)
Most of New York's court-appointed lawyers work alone. Some have secretaries, others do not, and a few work from home to save the expense of an office, a violation of a rule that is rarely enforced. For defendants, it is the luck of the draw. They must take whatever lawyers are assigned to them.
A Case Study
Defense Bungles
A Murder Trial
Juan Carlos Pichardo first met his appointed lawyer, Louis Grisorio, the day after he was arrested in March 1994 and charged with the murder of a drug dealer shot in East Harlem six weeks earlier. Mr. Pichardo, then 23, had no criminal record and knew little about the legal system. He had no money to hire a lawyer, so Mr. Grisorio was appointed.
"At the time I thought he was good," Mr. Pichardo recalled, "but I didn't know anything then."
In a brief conversation at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan that first day, Mr. Pichardo told Mr. Grisorio that he had had nothing to do with the murder; he had been at his grandmother's apartment in the Bronx when it happened. He remembered that because he had been sick with the flu that day.
Over the next six months, Mr. Grisorio, who was 73, never went to Rikers Island to visit him, Mr. Pichardo recalled, but they did meet in the courthouse holding pens during periodic pretrial sessions. Mr. Pichardo rejected a plea agreement that would have given him a sentence of 5 to 15 years. He wanted a trial.
The account of what happened next comes from court records, interviews and trial transcripts.
When the trial began in October 1994, the main prosecution witness was Roxanna Martinez, the widow of the victim, Ricardo Martinez. She saw two men shoot him, she testified. She jumped out of her car, chased them across a parking lot and recognized Mr. Pichardo when he tripped and fell, she said. And she admitted that she and her husband had $2,000 worth of crack cocaine in the car.
Then it was Mr. Grisorio's turn. He scored a few points, but he also committed some blunders. He asked Mrs. Martinez why she had waited until eight months after the shooting to identify Mr. Pichardo as one of the killers. That would turn out to be an embarrassing misstep. The prosecutor pointed out that Mrs. Martinez had identified Mr. Pichardo just four days after the shooting, a fact that was now emphasized for the jury.
Mr. Grisorio stumbled again with the next witness, a passer-by who testified that he had seen the shooting, but could not identify the killers. On cross-examination, Mr. Grisorio handed the witness a photograph of a police lineup that included Mr. Pichardo and began questioning him. Mr. Grisorio did not stop until the witness said he thought he had picked out Mr. Pichardo.
The judge, Jeffrey M. Atlas of State Supreme Court, called Mr. Grisorio to the bench and warned him that "dangers abound" in pursuing that line of questioning. Mr. Grisorio said he understood, but the damage had been done.
Later, Justice Atlas called Mr. Grisorio to the bench again. Why, the judge asked, had he failed to object to an improper question from the prosecutor? "I'm dealing with a homicide," the judge said in exasperation. "If the jury convicts this man, I have to sentence him, and I would like to do that with a clear conscience."
The trial resumed, the prosecutor repeated the question, and the witness answered. Mr. Grisorio was silent. Again, the judge called him to the bench and demanded to know why he had not objected. The witness "was faster than I was," Mr. Grisorio said.
Finally, Mr. Grisorio presented the defense case. Mr. Pichardo's grandmother, aunt and a neighbor all testified that he was in bed with the flu at his grandmother's apartment on the day of the murder.
"Next witness," Justice Atlas said.
Mr. Grisorio turned to Mr. Pichardo and asked, "You want to testify?" Mr. Pichardo recalled. The lawyer had never talked about whether he would testify, Mr. Pichardo said. So, unaware of the possible perils, he said, he took the stand.
This gave the prosecutor an opportunity that she would not have had. On cross-examination, she asked Mr. Pichardo about incriminating statements the police claimed he had made shortly after his arrest.
Mr. Grisorio complained that he thought the prosecutor was not allowed to raise that issue. Mr. Grisorio was wrong, the judge said, and later, in a lecture he called "painful," he told Mr. Grisorio that "anybody even slightly familiar with the law in this area" would know that the prosecutor could use those statements to discredit Mr. Pichardo if he took the witness stand.
Mr. Pichardo denied making incriminating statements, but his credibility was damaged. To emphasize the point, the prosecutor called a detective to the stand to repeat the police version of the conversation.
The jurors deliberated for a day, and one of their last requests was to hear the testimony of Mr. Pichardo and the detective about the disputed conversation. A few hours later, they found Mr. Pichardo guilty. After the trial, Mr. Grisorio said that he had urged his client not to testify. Mr. Pichardo was sentenced to 20 years to life.

6th grade (U.S.)
By the 6th grade, you're becoming a sophisticated mathemagician. You'll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide any non-negative numbers (including decimals and fractions) that any grumpy ogre throws at you. Mind-blowing ideas like exponents (you saw these briefly in the 5th grade), ratios, percents, negative numbers, and variable expressions will start being in your comfort zone. Most importantly, the algebraic side of mathematics is a whole new kind of fun! And if that is not enough, we are going to continue with our understanding of ideas like the coordinate plane (from 5th grade) and area while beginning to derive meaning from data! (Content was selected for this grade level based on a typical curriculum in the United States.)
Ratios, rates, & percentages
Ratios, rates, and percentages are some of the most useful math concepts in real life (and what is REAL life anyway, huh?). From baking recipes to sports, these concepts wiggle their way into our lives on a daily basis.
- Intro to ratios
- Ratio word problems
- Intro to rates
- Intro to percents
- Percent-decimal conversions
- Percent problems
Arithmetic operations
The most fundamental branch of math is arithmetic operations. It consists of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. We're willing to bet that doing these operations on whole numbers is a piece of cake, but now we'll mix those numbers up with decimals and fractions. We'll also introduce the idea exponents as they become much more important moving forward. So sharpen that pencil and relax in your chair, we're going for a ride!
- Adding decimals
- Subtracting decimals
- Adding and subtracting decimals word problems
- Multiplying decimals
- Dividing whole numbers
- Dividing decimals
Negative numbers
Negative numbers are a necessary part of our understanding of mathematics and the world. The idea of anything "negative" is often seen as "bad." Negative numbers are not only good, but they're fun! Walk through this tutorial with us and we'll show you how they are defined, interpreted, and applied. Absolute value is a type of negative number that is expressed as a positive. Confused? Don't be. We got your back.
- Intro to negative numbers
- Negative decimals & fractions on the number line
- Number opposites
- Comparing negative numbers
- Absolute value
- Coordinate plane
Properties of numbers
Learn how to find the least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common factor (GCF).
Variables & expressions introduction
Learn what variables are and practice using them in expressions. The major concepts covered in these tutorials are substitution, the distributive property, and combining like terms.
- Intro to variables
- Expression value intuition
- Substitution & evaluating expressions
- Evaluating expressions word problems
- Writing algebraic expressions introduction
- Writing basic algebraic expressions word problems
Equations & inequalities introduction
Learn about equations and inequalities that have variables in them. These tutorials focus on solving equations and understanding solutions to inequalities.
- Algebraic equations basics
- One-step equations intuition
- One-step addition & subtraction equations
- One-step multiplication and division equations
- One-step equation word problems
- Finding mistakes in one-step equations
Equivalent expressions
Learn how we can combine like terms and use the distributive property to create equivalent expressions.
Learn how to find the area, volume, and surface area of all sorts of geometric shapes. Also work with shapes on the coordinate plane.
- Areas of parallelograms
- Areas of triangles
- Area of shapes on grids
- Area of trapezoids & composite figures
- Volume with fractions
- Surface area
Data and statistics
In statistics, we try to make sense of the world by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and presenting large amounts of data. For example, you may survey your friends about what tv show is most popular, but the small sample size will not give you an accurate idea of what ALL 6th graders like to watch. To do this you must survey a cross section of students from all around the country and all backgrounds. The data can then be statistically analyzed to give a more accurate picture of what tv show is most popular. So let's dive into a discussion of statistics, including box and whisker plots, bar charts, pictographs, line graphs, and dot plots.

Adding decimals
Honestly, once you remember one very important rule, the rest of adding and subtracting decimals is a snap. That rule is to be sure and align your decimals first. In this tutorial, you'll get a chance to practice this with us and become fluent adding decimals. We'll tackle subtracting decimals in the next tutorial.
Subtracting decimals
Just like with adding decimals, the key to subtracting decimals is aligning the decimal points. Let's practice!
Adding and subtracting decimals word problems
In this tutorial, we practice solving word problems by adding and subtracting decimal numbers.
Multiplying decimals
You've already multiplied decimals in the 5th grade. We'll show you some ways to handle slightly more complicated problems. Now you'll become super good at it with a bit more practice! Common Core Standard: 6.NS.B.3
Dividing whole numbers
Learn long division on whole numbers. Solve problems like 9815 divided by 65.
Dividing decimals
Learn long division with decimals. Solve problems like 30.24 divided by 0.42.

Dividing fractions by fractions
Learn how to divide fractions by other fractions.
In 3rd grade, you learned that there is an easier way to write "5+5+5". You saw that 5+5+5=3x5. But is there an easier way to write repeated multiplication (like "5x5x5")? Absolutely! That's exactly what exponents are for! Common Core Standard: 6.EE.A.1
Order of operations
In this tutorial, we learn the "order of operations" to evaluate more complex expressions involving exponents, parentheses, multiplication and division, and addition and subtraction.

Tale of Despereaux : Library Edition
Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2004 #3
Imagine if you will, dear listener, a tale of mousedom so delicate that, like a souffle, it risks collapse at the first cold breeze of cynicism. Narrator Malcolm's voice, however, suffuses the text with a cozy warmth. His light English accent suits the quaint setting--all cobblestones and castles--and he uses it effectively to give Miggery Sow's father a working stiff's snarl, to present Miggery herself as both gormless and greedy, and to craft the properly pompous King. By contrast, the Princess is a delicious mix of kindness and privilege; Despereaux's mother is frothy and oh-so-French; and villainous Roscuro is set apart with the deliberately fraudulent accent of an Italian count. This Newbery Medal winner will find a ready audience in audio format. Copyright 2004 Horn Book Magazine Reviews
School Library Journal Reviews 2004 March
Gr 4-8-With allegorical elements such as quests for love and light, and dangerous encounters that lead to forgiveness and redemption, Kate DiCamillo's novel (Candlewick, 2003) is a multi-layered fantasy. The hero is Despereaux Tilling, a young mouse who is improbably, but deeply, in love with a very human Princess Pea. On the dark side, there's a misguided rat named Roscuro and a serving girl, Miggery Sow, who wishes to be a princess. The traumatic events that shape the lives of these four characters, and bring them all to the brink of disaster, are resolved with some gentle lessons on the power of kindness. DiCamillo creates a special intimacy with listeners by using frequent asides that draw them into the story. Narrator Graeme Malcolm heightens the text's storytelling qualities with a mix of deft accents and appropriate vocal styles. This novel's castle and its denizens are a long way from the down home folks in Because of Winn-Dixie, the author's Newbery Honor book. What remains the same is how well both stories convey the importance of caring relationships. Middle school listeners may find some of the scenarios far fetched, but they'll be inspired by the simple, believable way that good triumphs over evil. This is a solid choice for both public and school libraries.-Barbara Wysocki, Cora J. Belden Library, Rocky Hill, CT Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The beginning of this year has been hard on investors of big energy companies ExxonMobil (XOM - Get Report), Chevron (CVX - Get Report), and EOG Resources (EOG - Get Report). From their 52-week highs these major integrated oil and gas companies are down anywhere from 11.5% to almost 15% so far.
Now, a group of investors have filed shareholder proposals pressuring five major oil and gas companies, including the three mentioned above, to disclose progress in reducing the impacts of their hydraulic fracturing (fracking) operations. The proposals target companies that received failing scores in a recently released report, and addresses the most controversial aspects of hydraulic fracturing.
The proponents of the shareholder resolutions represent environmental and social investors, as well as a leading public pension fund, the New York State Common Retirement Fund. Although from a publicity standpoint all news is good news, the energy sector has spent billions over the years trying to look environmentally responsible and a friend of nature.
Lucia von Reusner, the Shareholder Advocate at Green Century Capital Management, sent me the following news release that tells the story well:
"ExxonMobil, Chevron, EOG Resources, Occidental Petroleum (OXY), and Pioneer Resources (PXD) received shareholder resolutions from a coalition of investors concerned about the lack of reported progress in mitigating the risks associated with company hydraulic fracturing operations. The resolutions target companies that received failing scores... on their disclosed efforts to measure and mitigate the impacts of their hydraulic fracturing operations on communities and the environment."
On the other hand, Robert Rapier, the chief analyst for The Energy Strategist, who accompanied me this past summer when I flew to Alaska to inspect a small energy company's operations, recently noted that most people "still don't understand how much more oil is ready to come out of the ground. If you think fracking was revolutionary, wait until you read about a technique that can extract nine times the amount of oil that traditional drilling rigs can get at."
Robert had mentioned this process called "CO2 Injection," which is an enhanced recovery technique. The Energy Information Administration says CO2 injection could unlock up to 60 billion barrels of oil. At $100-a-barrel that's $6 trillion of oil.
Will CO2 injection be harmful to the environment and to the communities in the vicinity of this enhanced recovery technique? If so, the news about this coalition holding the energy companies' feet to the fire could have ongoing repercussions.
ExxonMobil, Chevron, EOG Resources and Occidental Petroleum received failing scores in a recently released report scoring companies engaged in hydraulic fracturing on disclosed operational impacts and mitigation efforts.
The report targets a total of 24 companies that use hydraulic fracturing against 32 indicators relating to management of toxic chemicals, water and waste, air emissions, community impacts and governance. ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, Chevron and EOG Resources, scored points on just two, two, three, and six out of 32 indicators, respectively.

Great purchase!!!
I bought this water shoe for my trip to Jamaica, and I lived in these shoes. They were perfect for pool side and great for walking along the beach where some areas had rocks and coral. I have a bad ankle so a good shoe is high on my list. I never lost my footing and I was walking in the ocean water on top of big rocks! They were also stylish enough to wear to lunch when I took a quick break from being pool side or ocean side.
very nice
usually I were shoes 6.5 also 235mm... butso I was buy 6.5 size..and little bit big to me..cause people were aqua shoes in bear foot..so I think if I buying 6 it was be very fine to me...
Fit: Feels too big
Jambu Women's Tidal Terra Marine
Love the shoes. The size was correct and it was comfortable.
THE most comfortable and light!
Let me start by saying I have a lot of foot issues on top of having a narrow heel and a medium toe box. These are just the best. I had one pair and wore a hole in the top and now have 3 extras. I wear them all the time and love them.
Love my new water shoes!
Am very pleased with these shoes. So comfortable and very stylish. Wore them to the lake this weekend and they handled very well on the rocky shoreline. Will enjoy them for many years to come.

in response to Alexander NewmanWell, well. I was just about to post to this to say that the iPhone 2.0.1 software/firmware update had fixed things. It did for about 6 hours, but after another App Store update, the AS flags started playing up after an update, and then the downloaded apps and the music became unusable again.
This is really, really not funny. I spent hours last night installing the update and repopulating the phone with apps and musics, and I'm back to square 1. Yet again.
Has anyone else had the similar experience of updating the phone to 2.0.1 and have the apps die again?
I dare not ask if anyone has a fix, other than being able to hack the iPhone file system by hand and manually change the permissions via a telnet session running on a Mac (or Linux?) box. And doing this, if possible should probably do nasty things to the warranty.
I'm now going to mothball the iPhone until there's a known robust fix to these problems, and go back to my old Sony Ericsson (and hope that the iPhone's SIM card will work in the SE). I've wasted far too much time on this to continue. Bad show, Apple. -10/10 and no elephant stamp and gold star for you.

RLPC-Vimpelcom close to mandating $4 bln loan -sources
Loan is part of the Russian telecom's $6.6 billion takeover bid for Egypt's Orascom Teelcom and Italy's Wind.
December 4, 2010 1:59 by Reuters
Russian telecom Vimpelcom is expected to mandate banks imminently to arrange a $4 billion loan to part finance its $6.6 billion takeover bid for Egypt's Orascom Telecom and Italy's Wind, two bankers said on Friday.
"It's tantalisingly close; the pens haven't hit the paper yet, but it's all been agreed," one of the sources said.
As previously reported, the $4 billion bridge loan to bond issue will be used to finance the cash component of the acquisition of around $2 billion and refinance $2 billion of existing Vimpelcom debt, which is being moved from Vimpelcom BV to Vimpelcom OGSC.
The bridge loan is expected to be mandated to a group of three to six banks on aggressive terms for a company with a non-investment grade rating.
Vimpelcom is rated BB+ by Standard and Poor's and Ba2 by Moody's.
Vimpelcom is currently seeking to resolve the future of Orascom Telecom's Algerian telecom unit Djezzy.
The Algerian government may be close to appointing an adviser for the nationalisation of Djezzy, while Orascom is eager for talks on valuation to start soon so it can settle how much Algeria will pay for Djezzy and whether some of Djezzy's equity can be transferred to Vimpelcom.
Separately, Wind has completed its 3.93 billion euro ($5.18 billion) loan and 2.7 billion euro high-yield bond refinancing.

A comic strip commissioned by
*UPDATE*: Now in color.
He wanted to see Discord try to make Cheese Sandwich discorded. He came up with the concept and the story while I did the drawings and added some dialogue.
*UPDATE*: Now in color.
First of, you did a good job on this comic, the background, colors, the charcaters. Oh yeah, and I knew this comic was going to happen... Well, Cheese getting discored. *OMGGG I GOT PINKIE PIE SENSE AAHH* But, I loled at this comic. Poor Cheese Sandwich XD. Now, Boneless will ignore him? or find a new owner? Maybe something like that. Discord failed at trying to discord the Weird Al Pony- I mean,Cheese Sandwich! Haha. Vision: I can totally see this happening. So... Yeah. Oringinal: Well, no one else thought of it,so... Yeah. Tech: IT SO BEUTIFUL Impact: I loled at this comic, plus Ed Edd and Eddy.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
35 out of 37 deviants thought this was fair.
Boneless: braaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnssssssssssssssss
Oh, looks like i might need too do my Discord for this
Poor Boneless! JAJAJAJA!
Fairly Odd Parents style!
Poor Boneless....
LOL! Ed, Edd, & Eddy reference FTW! XD
I died.... BTW poor cheese
Dat Ed Edd n Eddy reference tho.
Discord be like,
Oh. It would seem that I have already commented on this before. And that comment was almost exactly the same.
Good to know my thought processes haven't changed.
Good to know my thought processes haven't changed.
Very amusing concept! Reminds me of that hypnosis episode of Ed Edd n Eddy!
Button Mash: "I don't get it..."
Discord be like,
Kinda reminds me of Ed, Edd n Eddy...only pony themed.
Eddy using the mind controller on Johnny and hits plank instead XDDD lolololololol
Yay! My two favorite characters built into one comic!!!!!
Reminds me of Ed Edd N Eddy!
From being cheesy and becomes superstitious. Poor Cheese Sandwich. But still, Discord find it awkward.
Oh wait, i get it, its a reference to that Ed Edd n Eddy show with plank, nice touch.
As soon as I saw this, I instantly thought of the Ed Edd n Eddy episode where they hypnotise everyone. They try on Johnny, but all it does is make him think his wooden board friend Plank is now a mindless zombie.
LOL! Poor boneless!
Ed Edd n' Eddy reference nice xx
Aww, poor Cheese! D:
Cute comic though!
Cute comic though!
Well, seems like Discord is confused.
Not often to see that o.O
Not often to see that o.O
You turned *Enter another not-talking object here* into a zombie D: Nnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
Now excuse me while I get some quarters *Reference Reference*
Now excuse me while I get some quarters *Reference Reference*
Now that's friendship. Boneless took a Discording for Cheese.
Ed Edd Eddy,I loved this episode
i see the reference
Sorry, John, you may be the king of chaos, but Al is a king of nonsense as well. You cannot corrupt him!
Ed Edd n Eddy Reference
Got to love ed edd and eddy
Lol!! Ed Edd N Eddy!
So much crazy, even Discord is confused.
ed edd & eddy did this.... LOL Johnny was weird
Discord please make Bonless back to normal -cheerful and talkative!
Plottwist: Plank is the next key.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by roclimb (11)
Jason...I can't believe you moved to UT and sadly spend 12-31 (New years eve) insulting PA climbers. I feel really sorry the highlight of your new years eve is a rockclimbing.com photo. Maybee your new years resolution should be to spend some time climbing instead of dissing other climbers fun. By the way those routes were bolted by local climbers in Elk county years ago, some of them have been bouldered but also some make great sport routes for those who dont want to worry about breaking both their legs. either way they are great routes. Luckily you or your cronies will never know where they are. Happy new year.

It's easy to start taking outdoor Christmas lights for granted about now. They have been draped over trees and strung along porch railings and under the eaves for weeks – even longer in the shopping centers.
Though often used with little real thought, they have symbolic connotations. It is intriguing to think of them as a modern equivalent of the Yule log that warmed our distant ancestors during the winter solstice. Or the guiding star over Bethlehem on the first Christmas.
Pause for a moment and consider how remarkable it is that these tiny electric lights can transform a bleak winter night into a delicately laced wonderland. How leafless trees can become magical, and simple homes can become places of wonderment. How they brighten more than the longest nights of the year. How fond memories grow from these fragile strings of lights.

At the corner of Third Avenue and 19th Street in the Rock Island District is a glazed terra-cotta bust of an American Indian wearing a war bonnet that encircles his head, almost like the traditional painting of a halo. Arrows, peace pipes, and entwined snakes are also included in the symmetrical composition. This 10-foot-wide relief is placed above the second-story window on the rounded corner of the Fort Armstrong Theatre building.
Though the artwork is ornate, the dominant central face gives it a strong point of emphasis. The angular structure of the face and surrounding triangular patterns are counterbalanced by the overarching half-circle and circular shapes radiating from the composition's center.
The decorative patterns around the other second-floor windows and the building's outline are also composed of these geometric shapes and Native American symbols. The ivory-, blue-, yellow-, red-, and green-colored glaze stands out against the theatre's dark-red brick exterior.

Nature Spiral is a circular arrangement of limestone boulders situated near the Mississippi River in the Illiniwek Forest Preserve, near Hampton, Illinois (just north of East Moline). Ideally suited for a park named after the regional Native American tribes, the artwork blends in with its natural environment and is reminiscent of Native American and Neolithic earthworks. The spiral can be reached by Illinois Route 84, or the Great River Trail for hikers and bicyclists.
The site was chosen in 1995 by a community-wide partnership led by Quad City Arts and River Action. Public meetings were arranged for the community to express ideas for an artwork that improved awareness of, appreciation of, and access to the Mississippi River. In all, nearly 50 historic preservationists, river activists, and members of the community contributed to the project led by area artist Kunhild Blacklock, who designed the work and supervised its installation.
Completed in 1997, Nature Spiral is primarily made of 65 boulders, with outlined images of native birds, fish, insects, animals, and plants cut into the surface of many of the stones. Among the flora and fauna is a bald eagle, channel catfish, mayfly, deer, silver maple, cattail, and waterlily. Approximately 800 feet in circumference, the spiral also includes planted trees and wildflowers. A nearby informational sign provides a map of the spiral and a key to the iconic images on the rocks.

When Sacred Heart Cathedral (at the corner of Iowa and 10th streets in Davenport) was completed in 1891, its bell tower and spire was the tallest structure in the Quad Cities. Soaring majestically above the surrounding trees and neighborhood, its approximate height of 160 feet seemed even greater because of its placement at the top of a steep hill near the crest of the bluff overlooking the Mississippi.
Several blocks to the west, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral (at 121 West 12th Street) had been constructed 18 years before. Although a spire was part of architect's original plans, it was not built because of a lack of funds.
But in 1998, Elizabeth Haines (a member of the Trinity congregation) personally financed the building of a bell tower and spire. In memory of her grandparents – who were charter members of the cathedral – the 131-foot tower was built to its original specifications.

Hill Arches is a bronze sculpture created in 1974 by one of the most prominent sculptors of the 20th Century, Henry Moore (1898-1986). Moore's monumental works are often based on human forms, but as its title suggests, this piece is meant to be seen in a relationship with its environment.
It is located on a small island in the reflecting pond directly in front of the Deere & Company world-headquarters building in Moline, off John Deere Road a little more than three miles east of Interstate 74.
Viewed from the island, the sculpture is massive. Weighing more than 8,800 pounds, it is 18 feet in length and 12 feet high. But when viewed from a distance, its open spaces give it an unfolding, rising quality. Though large, it appears to float just above the lawn, its base hidden by the grass. This is a fitting paradox for a sculpture that works both with the modern architectural style of the world headquarters and with its surrounding landscape.

Welcome to the National Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) Virginia Federation of Chapters (VFC) website, www.vanarfe.org. I hope that that this website provides the information that you were looking for or helps you better formulate your questions about what is available to you from NARFE and the VFC.
In recent years, many changes have been made under the heading of economics that have adversely affected the earned rights and benefits of current and retired federal employees. However, NARFE, since its founding in 1921, has been very successful in ensuring that these adverse affects have been limited. But, the current period is especially scary for current and retired federal employees. And the efforts of NARFE can only succeed if all current and retired federal employees work together. If you are not a current NARFE member, you need to seriously consider becoming one! If you are a NARFE member, you need to actively participate in and support NARFE activities and initiatives!
The VFC has a long history of advising and assisting federal employees and retirees. It was founded April 9, 1955, by NARFE members residing in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Currently, there are more than 14,000 NARFE members within the 57 Chapters which form the VFC. In addition, there are approximately 2,500 members of the National E-NARFE Chapter residing in Virginia. These members include current and retired federal employees, spouses, and survivor annuitants.
The VFC is a 501.C.5 non-profit organization managed by a Board of Directors of elected and appointed members. All of the positions on the Board of Directors are non-pay positions. The organization, functions, and responsibilities of the Board of Directors are defined in the VFC Constitution, Bylaws, and Organizational Handbook which are posted on the VFC website.
The VFC is organized by geographic area. There are currently ten VFC Areas and each Chapter is assigned to a particular VFC Area. The area of each VFC Chapter is defined by the postal zip codes. To find the nearest Chapter, go to the NARFE website, at www.narfe.org, and enter the five digit postal zip code for your location.
The VFC is managed by a Board of Directors consisting of elected and appointed members. A complete directory of the members of the Board of Directors is available on the VFC website. The elected positions on the VFC Board include the Executive Committee (i.e., President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) and the ten VFC Area Vice Presidents. The appointed positions include the Chairs of the Standing Committees (i.e., National Legislation, State Legislation, Membership, Service, Public Relations, and Alzheimer's) and other appointed positions (e.g., Chaplain, Congressional District Liaisons, Constitution and Bylaws Committee, Parliamentarian, E-NARFE Coordinator, Membership Retention Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, Senatorial Legislative Liaisons, Sergeant-at-Arms, State Legislative Representatives, and Webmaster). Also, the VFC Immediate Past President and the NARFE Region X Vice President sit as advisors on the VFC Board.
The VFC Board operates on a fiscal year basis, from July 1st to June 30th of the following year. However, since elections occur at the VFC Convention in April, the one-year terms for elected and appointed positions begin at the close of the VFC Convention and end at the end of the next VFC Convention.
The VFC Conventions are held annually in the April timeframe at various locations in Virginia. A theme is selected for each VFC Convention; and this theme is typically used by the VFC for the following 12 months. The current theme is "NARFE Embracing Change." Though this may seem like a strange theme, it does reflect the changing organization of NARFE and NARFE's needs to consider and embrace new and different operating procedures. However, the main purpose of NARFE remains the protection of the earned rights and benefits of current and retired federal employees!
I ask for your assistance in helping the VFC and NARFE chart a reasonable course in these daunting times. We need to maintain a reasonable and strong NARFE, both now and in the future. To do otherwise is to accept defeat!
We are all in this together! Now is not the time to step back and assume that someone else will carry the load!

The indices had another bad day to start a week, which we've seen a lot of in
the last few weeks.
The day started out with a gap down. They backed and filled in the morning.
They did try a rally that reached its session highs around mid-day, but failed
to extend and rolled over and backed and filled in a 90-minute period, during
which time the indices moved 8 times back and forth ,but couldn't break out.
Finally they had a nominal break out on the Nasdaq 100, but no confirmation
from the S&P 500 causing a rollover late in the day, and they closed near
the session lows.
Net on the day the Dow was down nearly 224, the S&P 500 down 22 1/2, and
the Nasdaq 100 down 27.67. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOXX) was down
5.67, and closed under 200 for the first time in 10 years, at 195.72.
[Related -Will Apple Inc. (AAPL) Join Hands With Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA)?]
The technicals confirmed the down day. Advance-declines were negative by 24
to 7 1/2 on New York and by better than 2 to 1 negative on Nasdaq. Up/down
volume was about 5 1/2 to 1 negative on New York on total volume of about 1.3
billion. Nasdaq traded about 1.85 billion and had about 5 1/2 to 1 negative
volume ratio.
TheTechTrader.com board was vastly negative, although not too steeply so.
Loss leader today was CF at 50.44 down 4.53, AAPL fell below 90 today to 88.14,
down 2.10. A couple ETFs we follow, like the BGU down 2.60 at 34.21, and the
ERX, down 2.13 at 44.62.
Other point-plus losers included ETF's QLD down 1.03 and USO 1.18.
Other stocks of note in agricultural group, AGU dropped 1.63, and MOS dropped
90 cents today. POT dropped, but only 66 cents.
[Related -Apple Inc. (AAPL): Can Apple TV Succeed Post Comcast-TWC Deal?]
On the plus side, the SDS ultra short instrument was up 4.79 and the QLD up
2.99. BGZ, which is the triple large-cap bear ETF, jumped 6.24 to 89.93.
Other than that there were just small fractional gains, with ENER up 88
cents, EXM 39 cents, and CAL 51 cents. UAUA also gained 54 cents. Portfolio
position QCOR at 8.60 was up 45 cents. Chart of the Week LVS at 6.73 was up 42
Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices came down
sharply, rallied mid-day, and then rolled over and closed near the lows for the
day. Not a good start to the week, to say the least, and we'll see if key
short-term support is taken out at 1150 on the NDX and 850 on the S&P 500,
very near where they closed. So a lower opening tomorrow would break short-term
support, which could lead to a retest of last Thursday's lows.
In this current era of central planning, malincentives abound. We raced to frack as fast we could for the read on...
The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged yesterday, as widely expected. But the possibility of a read on...
It was never supposed to be this daunting. At least that's what we were read on...
