How Fatal is Your Fashion?
Corsets that cause internal bleeding. Crinolines that carry you away in a good gust of wind. Foot -binding that crushes the bones. Lead makeup. A quick retrospection of our knowledge of previous fashion trends and societal fads reveal that people do not always make the wisest of decisions in the pursuit of beauty. But that was then, right? This new, modern generation of independent women knows better than to risk their own physical wellbeing just to mimic the fashions presented by the models and society darlings…right?
Well, not entirely. Although it is true that we, as Americas, have largely given up the practice of lacing ourselves into our clothing, we have also adopted quite a few new and dangerous fashion trends. And most of us do not even know it. And so, The Bottom Line presents:
Six Scary Common Fashion Trends That Are Doing You Harm
1. High Heels- Ladies, why do we put ourselves through this? Why do we keep getting excited at the idea of slipping on a pair of heels for a fun night out, knowing full well that such a decision guarantees a night full of discomfort? How is this fun? Each step in your three inch platform stilettos offers the unique possibility of teetering off balance and breaking something important, you know, like your nose or your dignity. And if you do manage to keep your balance as you hobble around the streets of Frostburg? Then you, too, can enjoy a potential case of osteoarthritis as a thank you gift from your very favorite pumps.
2. Enormous Earrings- Whoever thought up the idea to pierce a hole in the earlobe and dangle heavy objects from it was a mad man. Yet still we follow suit, more than happy to show off our new spectacularly flashy earrings. What you don't hear about, though, is the dangers of such an action. Besides risking infection, the weight of a too-heavy earring can actually spit the earlobe into two! And even the light-weight pairs can stretch the lobe and cause it to swell.
3. Protruding Purses- As kids we all complained about the ever-increasing size of our book-bags. ("They expect me to walk to the bus stop AND carry this thing around??") Yet many of us still lug around tote bags and designer purses filled with a random assortment of personal belongings that really only serve to weigh us down. We probably don't need to carry around an umbrella at all times "just to be safe." This unnecessary and heavy concentration of weight can quickly result in neck and back pain, as well as arthritis.
4. SnookiSkin- You can get skin cancer from tanning. Enough said.
5. Novelty Nails- Even though a new pair of long, shiny nails looks fantastic, the results can be quite damaging. The weight of the veneers can, and often does, pull the natural nail away from the finger which can result in painful, and disgusting, fungal infections.
6. Dangerous Dye- Hair dye, it should be known, is just a bunch of chemicals. Chemicals like carcinogens which are linked to cancer. And chemicals that can cause a wide array of unfortunate medical conditions like a burning scalp, hair loss, vomiting, decreased nerve sensitivity and eye inflammation among many others. Cute? Yes. Safe? No.
It feels great to look good. Most of us have, at some point, experienced the euphoria and confidence experienced by look in the mirror and realizing, "Hey, I look hot!" There is value in taking care of your body and showing off your unique personality through your styling. But, these feelings should never come at the expense of your health. Because being alive and healthy? That's the most attractive thing in the world.

Skip to comments.Chrislam on the rise...
Posted on 12/02/2011 4:44:38 PM PST by Discoshaman
Communities across the nation are taking Christianity and Islamtwo diametrically opposed theologiesand working to blend them together.
Chrislam, as the name suggests, is a growing movement wherein some Christians are seeking to find common ground with Muslims, explains theologian Bill Muehlenberg of the doctrine that began in Nigeria in the 1980s. Indeed, it actually seeks to combine Christianity with Islam.
Chrislam has gained significant momentum since the seed was planted nearly three decades ago. Earlier this year Christian communities in Dallas, Chicago, Washington, D.C, and other cities placed Qurans in church pewsright alongside Biblesand preached about the Prophet Muhammad.
(Excerpt) Read more at charismanews.com ...
1. Christianity in Europe is already hollowed-out into a Christ-less shell, an empty cultural expression devoid of doctrine.
2. Demographics - as Muslims become more numerous in Europe, the degenerate elites of Europe will see syncretism as a ducky way to integrate them.
3. Western guilt/multiculturalism - the Western mind is no longer capable of defending itself. Presented with a determined minority with a differing viewpoint, it is hobbled by post-colonial guilt. It will gladly efface itself and capitulate to Islam as a means of absolution.
I think Chrislam will also gain some traction in the U.S., but not to anything like the same degree. The U.S. maintains a robust population of Evangelicals and lacks the critical mass of Muslims necessary to power such a movement.
It's probably the same crowd that supported the Liberation Theology of Yesteryear. Communism is so passé, now it's Islam as the new big thing to conform to.
It's like letting a crocodile eat just one of your legs.
*puke puke puke* "Chrislam" is an abomination
Whoopsie! I meant ACTS chapter 2... sorry.
Very well put bump.
Although Judaism and Christianity are rather incompatible too (either Jesus is the messiah, or he is NOT) they aren't as incompatible as Islam and Christianity. After all, no ancient Jewish text speaks against Jesus, because he hadn't been born yet. But Islam says very clearly he is NOT the son of God. Can't have it both ways, folks.
These idiots might want to note that Muslims aren't trying to find common ground with them and Bibles are nowhere near their Mosques.
Idiocy. Heresy. Islam and Christianity are simply incompatible.
And they won't find any Muslims returning the favor.
Putting the Koran in churches is like putting Mein Kampf in synagogues.
Chrislam on the rise = Paganism on the rise.
"Chrislam," a.k.a. "Devour me last" Christianity.
Yep. Chrislam = Quislam
very true
What's Quislam?
I googled it and couldn't find much.
Guess again, you only have to look at Rick Perry in Texas welcoming Muslims, incorporating teaching about Islam in schools and him helping break ground for a mosque in Texas to watch the change.
I thought that taqiyya implied a dispensation for the muslim who lied to further the propagation of Islam. They seem to do whatever is necessary to further their progress to our detriment.

Try looking up "Quisling."
Now THIS — is possibly the beginnings of the last harlot religion, "Mystery Babylon" (Revelation 17).
Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
Having bought into crap like that before and been embarrassed when the truth came out I demand more information before I can give this any credibility.
Can we say "heresy" ?
To quote a certain nameless Kenyan commie: "Yes We Can!"
False prophets
Paul warned about people coming and teaching in his name. False teachers.
They had better count the pages weekly.
No Pope should ever have kissed the Koran or Quaran;that picture showed a man exhibiting great weakness of intellect and a terrible lapse in faith.There is literally no good excuse. When in Rome,do as the Romans was not the charge given to Peter and his successors.
As a Catholic,I am terribly upset and angered by the act pictured here.
I will never darken the doorway of any church that practices this perverted hybrid religion.
What's unsaid here is whether or not almost all these churches have black congregants.
I normally avoid the Religion Forum because I see little purpose in the fighting that goes on. Even though I'm not Catholic I see that picture as a warning to all of us.
I went to the source and looked - you are correct. They don't even mention the names or denominations of any of the churches involved. Poor journalism or intentional?
Or maybe this happened in only a few places like Rev. Wright's church and the exaggerated story is intended to mislead Christians into thinking Islam is harmless and accepted by other Christians.
This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever read... and the least Christian.
Christian communities in Dallas, Chicago, Washington, D.C, and other cities placed Qurans in church pews
Exactly who is doing this?
The Great Apostasy?
Salt Lake City, Wasatch Presbyterian Church
...the National Cathedral in Washington D.C....
...*Christ Church in New York City
*All Saints Church in Pasadena, California
*Park Hill Congregational in Denver
*Hillview United Methodist in Boise, Idaho
*First United Lutheran in San Francisco
*St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in Honolulu...
It's already starting to gain traction here . The great apostasy is starting to take place . God is letting them believe the lie since they do not believe his WORD .
Eventually real believers in this country will have to practice their faith in small groups in hiding just like they have had to everywhere else .
The church age is only until the last gentile comes to faith , then God turns his sights back to Israel . Israels eyes are starting to be open ... not long ago Israel's oldest Orthodox Rabbi left a piece of paper with the name of the Messiah on it that he asked it not to be opened until a year after his death (in their custom you are not suppose to speak bad about the departed for the first year of their passing ) The name he wrote on the paper was Yeshua /Yehoshua (Jesus)
They forget two interrelates important teachings.
2 Tim 3:16
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Which validates the second, oft forgotten, though very important, Scripture:
2 John 7-11
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
NEVER invite Satan and his doctrines into your church; he'll (mis)use the Scriptures to pervert your congregation's teachings; you will NOT convert him.
I think it's always good to be skeptical. I do know that Phil Johnson, whose writings have always been sound, has done some writing on the subject.
Also, it's undeniable that it's gained some traction in Africa, particularly Nigeria. The syncretistic movement originated in Nigeria, for obvious political/sociological reasons...
Exactly! And churches aren't allowed in Saudi Arabia and Christians aren't allowed in Mecca. Islam is interested in submission, by definition, not accommodation.

The previous Chairman, Brian Cooke, having been defenstrated by the Transport Committee for Backing Boris…
It seems that Boris's sense of humour has returned.
Rosie Boycott – who runs an organic farm in Somerset and "writes regularly about the importance of food in improving health" – has promised a "radical rethink" in order to challenge "aspects of our current food system which are damaging our environment through wasteful practices and producing poor quality food".
Some of the ideas 'bursting' from her are a little odd:
"I want to advocate the use of allotments and growing our own food…We can lean on councils to release more land and kids on Asbos could be put to work on them."
- To receive an ASBO is to receive a civil order, not to have the entirety of your rights yanked from beneath you.
- I'm not entirely sure where councils are going to find these mysterious expanses of wasteland. They find it difficult to hold on to playing fields as it is.
Still, she is "absolutely thrilled" so we shall wait until her plans come into fruitition (or are announced but, y'know, 'fruitition' interposed in a post vaguely concerned with growing food…yeah…I'll get me cyanide).

text: I found an old Peugeot sitting on the side of the road the other day. It's tires were dry rotted, and the plastic holding the front derailleur to the downtube is cracked and seperated. It looks like a U-08, because it has quick release skewers and the half chrome fork, but it has full front and back fenders, a rear mouse trap rack, and lights on the front and the back. Do you know if this is a worth while find? Also, I'm looking for a commuter/bar crawler/ winter ride. Does anyone have any experience with touring on an old bike like this, or commuting?

A gold seal flight instructor and former freight dog shares flying tips & techniques with an occasional bit of humor.
Thursday, January 01, 2009
I'm not big on New Year's resolutions and no, I haven't resolved to hike Kilimanjaro, or take a gourmet cooking course, or learn a new language. I tend to resolve to do things on a daily and weekly basis rather than every year. And who really cares what my resolutions are? I think of resolutions as being a private affair between you and your conscience. If telling others what you resolve to do will help keep you on track, then by all means do it. However you make your resolutions, here are the top five things I hope pilots out there will consider adding to their resolutions.
Radio Communication
Self-critique and then clean-up your radio phaseology. Lose the commonly used, and unnecessary words and phrases, like "roger," "with you," "clear of the active," and "any traffic in the area please advise." At the very least, resolve to say "traffic in sight" and "negative contact" in response to ATC's traffic advisories. For some inspiration on how to critique and improve your own radio performance, try reading this excellent post at the Flying Penguin about a controller's quest to identify and break his own undesirable radio communication habits.
Non-Towered Airport Operations
Review this advisory circular and the AIM, then practice what they preach. One example: Entering midfield on downwind at a non-towered airport is often taught to pilots as aiming for the middle of the runway and it's dumb, dumb, dumb. This procedure usually ends up with you entering the downwind leg exactly where other aircraft will be turning crosswind to downwind. Instead, aim for the arrival end of the runway, you'll enter downwind at midfield, and we'll all breathe a little easier.
Handle Your Aircraft with Care
Okay, it might not actually be your aircraft, but you're the pilot-in-command, right? Nothing is more unprofessional than mistreating an aircraft and if you tend to be ham-handed, the first step is recognizing it. Why are you slamming the doors, man-handling the controls, and moving the throttle and mixture like you're playing a video game? None of this is necessary and breaking things will only increase your cost of flying. If the engine needs oil, add some oil. Oil is cheap, engine overhauls and forced landings are expensive. Don't leave your oily paper towel in the seat pocket! You're not doing the next pilot a favor, nobody wants your oily rag, and it's a fire hazard. Walk to the trash can and throw it away. When your flight is completed, take your stuff with you including your trash (and any trash left behind by the last pilot). Instead of hurrying away from the aircraft as if it were about to explode, clean the windshield, install the control lock, lock the doors and secure the plane. You may not think any of this matters, but other pilots are watching and assessing your behavior. Do the right thing and set a good example.
Get a Preflight Briefing
Don't just "get the weather," get an official briefing through FSS, DUAT, DUATS or another approved source. It's not easy, but carefully read the Notices to Airmen that affect your flight. Check for Temporary Flight Restrictions, too. This is an investment in your own safety as well as the safety of your passengers and everyone else.
Get Regular Recurrent Training
One of the safety factors that distinguishes commercial aircraft operations from GA is recurrent training. If it's been a while since you did some training with an instructor, it's time. You can do the Wings program, do practice approaches with another pilot or an instructor, get some instruction in a simulator, or design your own recurrent training program. Recurrent training should also include a review of relevant rules and regulations, aircraft systems, and emergency procedures. If you don't already do so, subscribe to one of the many excellent aviation publications out there. Some, like Callback and the NTSB site are free.
Best wishes to all for a safe, prosperous, and productive New Year!

As usual, all of your comments are excellent. one thing that I frequently find as a renter are many dirty paper towels and an empty windshield cleaner can in the baggage compartment storage box. I think that that reflects poorly on the previous renters. I don't see any reason to leave a plane dirtier than I found it. Your post also reminded me to review my own comms practices and to try to not copy some of what I hear (particularly "with you" and "looking for traffic").
- Level 7,000 said...
I cannot agree more with all of your comments! I fly freight, so people think that I try to short cut everything that I can. If I short cut something, I am breaking some rule. So don't short cut and do the right thing!

Prescription Drugs:
The Number, Role, and Ownership of Pharmacy Services Administrative Organizations
GAO-13-176: Published: Jan 29, 2013. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
At least 22 pharmacy services administrative organizations (PSAO), which varied in the number and location of the pharmacies to which they provided services, were in operation in 2011 or 2012. In total, depending on different data sources, these PSAOs represented or provided other services to between 20,275 and 28,343 pharmacies in 2011 or 2012, most of which were independent pharmacies. While the number of pharmacies with which each PSAO contracted ranged from 24 to 5,000 pharmacies, most PSAOs represented or provided other services to fewer than 1,000 pharmacies. Additionally, some PSAOs contracted with pharmacies primarily located in a particular region rather than contracting with pharmacies located across the United States.
While PSAOs provide a broad range of services to independent pharmacies, and vary in how they offer these services, PSAOs consistently provide contract negotiation, communication, and help-desk services. All of the model agreements between PSAOs and independent pharmacies that GAO reviewed stated that the PSAO will negotiate and enter into contracts with third-party payers on behalf of member pharmacies. PSAOs may also contract with pharmacy benefit managers (PBM), which many third-party payers use to manage their prescription drug benefit. In addition to contracting, PSAOs also communicate information to members regarding contractual and regulatory requirements, and provide general and claims-specific assistance to members by means of a help-desk or a dedicated staff person. They may also provide other services to help member pharmacies interact with third-party payers or their PBMs, such as managing and analyzing payment and drug-dispensing data to identify claims unpaid or incorrectly paid by a third-party payer. PSAO services are intended to achieve administrative efficiencies, including contract and payment efficiencies for both independent pharmacies and third-party payers or their PBMs. Most PSAOs charge a monthly fee for a bundle of services and may charge additional fees for other services provided to its member pharmacies. Virtually all of the fees paid for PSAO services are paid by member pharmacies, with PSAOs receiving no administrative fees from other entities such as third-party payers or their PBMs.
The majority of PSAOs in operation in 2011 or 2012 were owned by drug wholesalers and independent pharmacy cooperatives. Of the 22 PSAOs we identified, 9 PSAOs were owned by wholesalers, 6 were owned by independent pharmacy cooperatives, 4 were owned by group purchasing organizations, and 3 were stand-alone PSAOs owned by other private entities. These owners varied in their requirements for PSAO member pharmacies to also use services from their separate, non-PSAO line of business. Three PSAO owners GAO spoke with required PSAO members to also use their non-PSAO services. For example, one wholesaler-owned PSAO limited its offer of PSAO services to existing customers of its drug distribution line of business. All but one PSAO owner GAO spoke with reported that their PSAO line of business earned little to no profit. However, PSAO owners may operate PSAOs for a number of reasons, including helping pharmacies gain access to third-party payer contracts and to provide benefits to the owner's non-PSAO line of business.
Why GAO Did This Study
Independent pharmacies dispensed about 17 percent of all prescription drugs in the United States in 2010. To obtain, distribute, and collect payment for drugs dispensed, pharmacies interact with a network of entities, including drug wholesalers and third-party payers. With limited time and resources, independent pharmacies may need assistance in interacting with these entities, particularly with third-party payers that include large private and public health plans. Most use a PSAO to interact on their behalf. PSAOs develop networks of pharmacies by signing contractual agreements with each pharmacy that authorizes them to interact with third-party payers on the pharmacy's behalf by, for example, negotiating contracts. While specific services provided by PSAOs may vary, PSAOs can be identified and distinguished from other entities in the pharmaceutical distribution and payment system by their provision of intermediary or other services to assist pharmacies with third-party payers.
GAO was asked to review the role of PSAOs. In this report, GAO describes: (1) how many PSAOs are in operation and how many pharmacies contract with PSAOs for services; (2) the services PSAOs offer and how they are paid for these services; and (3) entities that own PSAOs and the types of relationships that exists between owners and the pharmacies they represent. GAO analyzed data on PSAOs in operation in 2011 and 2012, reviewed literature on PSAOs and model agreements from 8 PSAOs, and interviewed federal agencies and entities in the pharmaceutical industry.

Stephen Crane's Strange Singing
Dirda, Michael, New Criterion
One afternoon back in the 1970s, I was browsing through the sale table at the Cornell University bookstore when a shopworn paperback caught my eye: The Complete Poems of Stephen Crane. I remember saying to myself, "The author of The Red Badge of Courage wrote poetry?" I picked up the book, skimmed the first several pages, and paused at the third poem. Like the others, it bore no tide, simply a roman numeral, but it took my breath away:
In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter--bitter," he answered; "But I like it "Because it is bitter, "And because it is my heart."
After murmuring "Wow"--die correct critical response, by the way--I read the poem over until I'd memorized it. Eerie, paradoxical, without a bit of flab, it seemed to me then, as now, unfussily perfect. I wasn't quite sure of its meaning, but what did that matter? That pared-down verbal finesse and a kind of Grand Guignol visionary power were an irresistible combination.
Many of the writers featured in the American Poets Project are, like Samuel Menashe or Kenneth Fearing, relatively unknown to younger readers. (1) Nobody could say that about Stephen Crane (1871-1900). Every high-school student alive has read--or been forced to read--The Red Badge of Courage (1895), and nearly every college English major has, at one point or another, listened to a teacher analyze the first line of "The Open Boat" (1897): "None of them knew the color of the sky." Students of American literature quickly learn that Crane's first (self-published) book, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets (1893) pioneered the type of naturalism later championed by Frank Norris and Theodore Dreiser. Standard anthologies of short fiction still reprint the Hemingwayesque story "The Blue Hotel" (1898) and the comic western, "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" (1898).
Though he died at twenty-eight from tuberculosis, Crane packed an enormous amount into a short life. His father was an eminent clergyman and he grew up in a Methodist family; the Bible seems to have been the chief reading of the household. At Lafayette College and Syracuse University, from neither of which he graduated, Crane preferred playing baseball to studying. After he became a young reporter, he quickly adopted the dashing, romantic life expected of a newspaperman. He wrote about the slums and slept in a New York flophouse, traveled out to the still wild west, escaped pursuit from Mexican bandits, nearly drowned after a shipwreck off the coast of Florida, covered civil unrest in Cuba and war in Greece, and even entered into a common-law marriage with the former madam of the Hotel de Dream bordello, eventually settling down with her in a country house in England. At Brede Place, his neighbors and admirers included Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, and, not least, H. G. Wells, who, in his novel Boon, declared that Crane was "die best writer of English for the last half century"
While his fiction and life are more or less well known, Crane's highly original poetry remains something of a sport, an anomaly, often mocked in its time and never easily categorized. Usually regarded as a harbinger of Imagism and sometimes thought to have been influenced by Emily Dickinson, the poems in The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895) and War Is Kind (1899) are seldom more than a page long. Eschewing rhyme and obvious meter, the best of them avoid the usual gewgaws of late nineteenth-century verse, leaving nothing but an oracular power. Sometimes the verbal starkness and the frequent use of paradox call to mind Biblical parables or Zen riddles or the kind of sardonic observations we associate with Crane's contemporary, Ambrose Bierce. Excepting the keepsake album sentiments of a love sequence entitled "Intrigue" in War is Kind, there is almost nothing dated about any of diem. …

Supporting the family's business, Salma has been wearing Gucci to almost all of her red carpet appearances. At the premiere of her new film Oliver Stone's Savages, Salma wore an emerald green beaded gown that was the right mix of sexy and refined.
Check out more photos of Salma's red carpet gorgeous green statement here:

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.36 lbs (0.62 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Wonderful mouthwash!

Tastes great, and doesn't irritate my mouth like some commercial brands sold in drugstores.
Posted by lorischuster on Sep 24, 2008
I love this mouthwash. It is refreshing, and I have noticed less plaque build up using this in tandem with the Xyliwhite toothpaste. I also love the mint flavor. I wish they would put a dosage lid on the bottle.

GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 | BFG OCX MaxCORE -

|GeForce GTX 260 Core 216

|Street price:
Ok, let's face it. NVIDIA is going trough a pretty rough time. ATI pulled a rabbit out of their hat two months ago with their RV770 based graphics processors and pricing schema. It had to be the biggest surprise of this year. The entire business model from NVIDIA was changed at pricing level, the high end parts dropped over 150 to 200 USD in price, quickly the the GeForce 9800 GTX+ was introduced and all of a sudden the balance was restored ... more or less.
See, that Radeon HD 4870 is still a tough nut to crack for NVIDIA as pricing wise this thing just does wicked things. To adapt to ATI's strategy, the GeForce GTX 260 can now be purchased for the same price as the Radeon HD 4870. But in a lot of scenarios, the HD 4870 is simply a tad faster.
Therefore NVIDIA was seeking for some more performance in the GTX 260 series -- they needed to give it a little more bite. And though I'm sure that yet another SKU will drive board-partners crazy, I say bring it on. We're Guru3D, we dig more performance. Especially the version we test today. So NVIDIA today is introducing the GeForce GTX 260 Core 216. And well, you are on Guru3D.com, where else do you need to be to get the latest lowdown and dirt on the new GPUs?
Exactly. Head on over to the next page where we'll tell you a thing or two about this product, and then we'll review some actual retail samples, as yes; this product is available starting today, and it's selling for 279 USD.

She works all the days of the week so that she can break even. She sells mainly to vendors and people within the market. Scovia's main challenge is stiff competition from the vendors. She wants UGX 300,000 to buy soda, juice and fruits. She works very hard and is shrewd in order to beat the competion. Her dream is to become successful in business and build a house for her family.
Vincent, aged 23 also a member of the group who rides a motorcycle ("boda boda") wants the loan to pay school fees for his brother.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Mr. Chris Toth, you may begin your call.
Chris Toth
Thank you, operator. Hello and good afternoon. We all welcome you to the International Rectifier conference call. On the call today are Chief Executive Officer, Oleg Khaykin and Chief Financial Officer, Ilan Daskal. I trust you've all seen copies of our press release, which was published about an hour ago. If not, the press release can be found on our website at investor.irf.com in the Investor Relations section.
Before we begin, I would like to remind you that except for historical information the matters that we will be describing this afternoon will be forward-looking statements that are dependent upon certain risks and uncertainties, including factors such as orders shipped and received during the quarter, the timing and introduction of new technologies and products, general semiconductor industry conditions, and the overall economy and financial markets. In addition to these risks, we refer you to the risk factors included in our press release that we issued about an hour ago and in our most recent SEC filings.
I would also like to mention that in addition to reporting our GAAP financial results, we are presenting supplemental non-GAAP financial data. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP to GAAP measures set out in our release and discussion today can be found on the website and in our press release. We believe providing non-GAAP measures combined with our GAAP results provides a more meaningful representation regarding the company's operational performance. Our non-GAAP presentation and EPS calculations exclude certain items such as accelerated depreciation, restructuring and severance charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, and certain discrete tax items, among others.
Lastly, I would like to highlight the following upcoming events. On Wednesday, February 13, we will be attending the 2013 Goldman Sachs Technology Conference in San Francisco; Tuesday, February 26, we will be attending the UBS Small-Mid Cap One-on-One Symposium in Boston; and Wednesday, February 27, we will be attending the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in San Francisco.
Now, Ilan will discuss our most recent financials. Ilan?
Ilan Daskal
Thank you, Chris. Good afternoon and thank you all for joining us. For the second quarter of fiscal 2013, IR reported a revenue of $223.8 million, which was 11.4% decrease from the prior quarter and a 2.7% decrease from the year ago quarter.
Gross margin on a GAAP basis was 21.9%. Non-GAAP gross margin was 22.2% and excluded $551,000 of accelerated depreciation primarily associated with the closure of our El Segundo facility. The gross margin decline from the prior quarter was primarily due to absorption and underutilization as we significantly reduced inventory in the quarter. Overall, the GAAP net loss was $32.7 million or $0.47 per share for the quarter. This compares with a GAAP net loss of $28.8 million, or $0.42 per share in the prior quarter, and a GAAP net loss of $6.3 million, or $0.09 per share in the prior year quarter.
Non-GAAP net loss was $30.3 million or $0.44 per share for the quarter. The non-GAAP net loss excluded $551,000 of accelerated depreciation, $4.9 million of asset impairment, restructuring and other charges, amortization of intangibles of $1.7 million, and a net tax benefit of $4.7 million. This compares with a non-GAAP net loss of $13.9 million or $0.20 per share in the September quarter, and a non-GAAP net loss of $2.9 million or $0.04 per share in the December quarter of last year.
Moving on to operating expenses, for the December quarter R&D expenses declined to $32.1 million, which represented 14.4% of revenue. SG&A expenses declined to $45.1 million and represented 20.1% of revenue. The reduction in SG&A and R&D expenses from the prior quarter was a result of actions to reduce cost. Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles was $1.7 million.
During the quarter we recorded $4.9 million in asset impairment restructuring and other charges. GAAP tax for the quarter was a $2.4 million benefit, excluding a net tax benefit of $4.7 million, mainly due to one-time release of tax reserve and adjusting for net tax effects on one-time items, our non-GAAP tax expense for the quarter was $2.3 million.
Turning to the balance sheet, total cash, cash equivalent, and investments increased $16 million to $383.3 million at the end of the second quarter, which included $1.6 million of restricted cash. During the quarter we decrease inventory by about $23 million to $260.7 million. Weeks of inventory decreased about one week and are now about 19 weeks.
In the December quarter, we generated $41.9 million in cash from operating activities, mainly due to improved working capital. Cash capital expenditures for the quarter was $26.1 million or about 11.6% of revenue. Free cash flow was $15.9 million. Depreciation and amortization expense was $23.1 million, and stock-based compensation was $5.4 million.

and Prague Castle- Residence of Czech princes and kings with the largest church in Bohemia, the symbol of Czech statehood.
For the right atmosphere created over many centuries,
I recommend to visit all the sights in Prague much of the early morning, before the crowds of tourists all filled..

Personal Courage, other Army Values unscathed by fiscal uncertainties
April 29, 2013
By Sandy Gibson
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (April 25, 2013) - Personal courage has long been associated with our Army; and now more than ever, we are seeing Army Soldiers, civilians and contractors demonstrating personal courage as the nation faces a fiscal crisis.
The Army defines personal courage as "facing fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral)," and indicates "facing moral fear or adversity may be a long, slow process of continuing forward on the right path, especially if taking those actions is not popular with others."
As an Army Soldier or civilian, we are expected to stand up for and act upon the things we know are honorable even during the most daunting of circumstances. While having the courage to stand our ground in the face of opposition is never easy, it can be rewarding.
"By choosing the path in my decisions that may not be of the least resistance, it sometimes makes the outcome more rewarding and makes me a better person," said Jody Roberts, logistics maintenance control manager at Redstone Test Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Personal courage oftentimes requires us to step outside our comfort zones and let go of the fear holding us back from doing the things we normally wouldn't.
"I think I demonstrate personal courage by performing new functions at work that I have always been fearful of or never been comfortable with like giving briefings to the workforce or voicing my opinions in an open forum," said Ricardo Rivera, personnel resource assistant with RTC.
Rivera believes that without personal courage we will never be able to realize our full potential. "Living in fear keeps you from learning new things, making new contacts and expanding your horizons," he said.
At times personal courage requires personal sacrifice which is often done without thinking. Our Soldiers exemplify the truest meaning of personal courage when they put themselves in harm's way to defend our country or to shield their fellow comrades from danger.
Master Sgt. Brian Davis, alcohol, tobacco and firearms non-commissioned officer at Yuma Proving Ground in Yuma, Ariz., understands this all too well. He learned the true meaning of personal courage when an Army Soldier courageously sacrificed his life to save others by throwing himself on a grenade that had been thrown into his vehicle by the enemy.
"He had lots of training on how to properly exit a vehicle under those circumstances but, as the situation evolved, he made the decision to go against his training in order to save his comrades," recalled Davis.
With physical courage, it is a matter of enduring physical duress and at times risking personal safety. Whether physical, mental or emotional courage, Army Soldiers and civilians exhibit personal courage each day.
In the months ahead, sequestration, looming budget cuts, and the threat of impending furloughs will undoubtedly test the personal courage of many of us Army civilians as we are impacted by the nation's fiscal uncertainty. The Army civilians across ATEC will most certainly continue to persevere as they have for decades.
"It takes personal courage to say, 'I will continue, undaunted, and do the very best I can with what I am given, without sacrificing my personal principles or violating the Army values and my civilian creed,'" said Jeff Lipscomb, technical director at YPG's Cold Regions Test Center in Fort Greely, Alaska.
"Personal courage is what keeps you advancing instead of hiding behind the barrier that stops the bullets or the easy way out that stops the criticism."

Country music often has been filled with enough hurt and sadness to fill a soap opera or two. Same for Scripture, overflowing in parts with suffering and loss.
The Rev. Bill Griffith, a retired pastor in Columbus, sees similarities between the two.
"Country music is about sorrow, heartache, pain and despair, but also hope," Griffith said. "These themes are at the heart of a person's faith, also."
The former Our Hospice of South Central Indiana chaplain will help people see the links between the two elements in an hour-long presentation, "Country Music and the Christian Faith," at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. May 10 at a Second Saturday program at Mill Race Center, 900 Lindsey St. in Columbus. Second Saturday offers a variety of topics and activities monthly for people 50 and older.
Griffith, whose favorite country artist is Alan Jackson, will include artists normally weaving hurt and hope into the same tune, such as Carrie Underwood ("Jesus, Take the Wheel") and Rascal Flatts ("Bless the Broken Road").
