Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global distribution, maintained in nature by chronic renal infection of carrier animals. Infected animals excrete the organisms in their urine and contaminate the environment. Human infection is acquired directly via exposure to the organism in tissues or body fluids, but most often occurs indirectly via exposure to the organisms in the environment. Thus human exposure usually occurs remotely from the reservoir or source animal.
The incidence of leptospirosis is very strongly associated with rainfall. Excess rainfall events that cause massive flooding are associated with the potential for huge outbreaks, particularly in densely populated regions of the tropical world. In such situations it is difficult if not impossible to identify the reservoir(s) of the organisms that cause human cases.
Historically, leptospires were classified into two species, Leptospira interrogans and L. biflexa, which comprised pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains, respectively. Within these two species, several hundred serovars were recognised [1]. Identification of isolates to serovar level is an essential step to understanding the epidemiology of the disease in both humans and animals in any geographic region. However, serovar identification remains a relatively blunt tool with which to investigate fine details of epidemiology.
Genetic variation observed within the genus Leptospira [2],[3] led to the replacement of the historical classification by one based on DNA relatedness [4],[5]. In this system 14 species are currently recognised and at least another six species are in the process of being described. The development of a molecular classification provided the basis for understanding the genetically distinct subtypes of serovar Hardjo. Two genotypes of serovar Hardjo, with distinct biological characteristics and geographical distribution, named Hardjoprajitno and Hardjobovis [6]–[8] are classified within L. interrogans and L. borgpetersenii, respectively. Evidence of horizontal gene transfer within the genus, mediated by insertion sequences, is widespread [9]–[12].
A wide range of methods based upon restriction endonuclease digests, random amplification, or hybridization have been applied to typing of leptospiral isolates, with moderate success. The availability of increasing numbers of genome sequences has facilitated the application of sequence-based approaches that can yield much deeper information about relationships between strains [13]–[15].
A New MLST Study
In recent years Thailand has undergone a significant outbreak of leptospirosis [16],[17]. From 1996 to 2000, reported cases increased approximately 40-fold to a peak of 14,000 cases per year [17]. In the absence of climatic or behavioural changes to account for the outbreak, hypotheses for this relatively sudden, explosive increase in incidence include the emergence of a clone of Leptospira better equipped for survival in a maintenance host or in the environment, or one of greater virulence. Serological identification of isolates indicated that many were of L. interrogans serovar Autumnalis. The recently published paper by Thaipadungpanit and colleagues in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases [18] brought the discriminatory power of sequence-based typing to bear on the epidemiology of this rapidly emerging disease.
In this study, a multilocus sequence typing (MLST) approach was developed for application to isolates of Leptospira from humans and from reservoir host animals. From among 101 human isolates from northeast Thailand, 12 sequence types were identified. A single sequence type (ST34) accounted for 76% of isolates. During the peak of the outbreak in 2000/2001, ST34 accounted for 85% of all isolates. ST34 was also predominant among isolates from other regions of Thailand during the same time period.
Moreover, seven isolates from bandicoot rats (Bandicota spp.) were also shown to be ST34, while a single isolate from Rattus rattus was of a different sequence type. All isolates of ST34 were identified as L. interrogans serovar Autumnalis, but not all Autumnalis isolates were of ST34. In contrast, a collection of 73 reference strains yielded 59 sequence types, emphasising the limited diversity of the Thailand outbreak isolates.
The association of a single clone with a large outbreak of leptospirosis leads to several hypotheses, which are discussed eloquently by Thaipadungpanit et al. [18]. Further work will enhance our understanding of why clones such as ST34 expand and become predominant in outbreaks.
Despite the advances offered by application of MLST to leptospiral epidemiology, there are limitations. The authors note the absence of isolates that pre-date the onset of the outbreak, and were thus unable to show conclusively that the outbreak resulted from the expansion of the ST34 clone. In addition, relatively few isolates from animals were available for study. However, the distribution of the clone in Thailand, its decline in relative frequency as the outbreak waned, and its absence from the collection of reference strains and other isolates, are strongly supportive of their conclusion that the ST34 clone was responsible for the outbreak.
The existence of other localised clones has been suggested previously [19],[20]. While a clone might be predicted to become predominant in an isolated island environment, the question of how and why a clone may have spread among bandicoot rats in a relatively large country such as Thailand needs to be answered. On a global scale, might all isolates of L. interrogans serovars Copenhageni and Icterohaemorrhagiae from Rattus norvegicus be clonal? Prospective studies could be designed to determine the effect on clonal circulation of public health interventions to reduce rodent numbers.
The MLST developed by Thaipadungpanit and coworkers [18] generated sequence data from isolates of L. interrogans and L. kirschneri, two closely related species of pathogenic leptospires that account for the majority of disease cases, but not from L. borgpetersenii. Another recently published MLST using different targets yielded data for six species of pathogenic leptospires [13]. It would be advantageous for any Leptospira MLST to be applicable to all leptospires, but at least to all pathogenic species. Further studies will be necessary to determine the combination of targets that is most widely applicable.
One of the major advantages of MLST is the ability to perform evolutionary analyses on data widely spaced in time and geography. The current data illustrate the value of this tool for investigating the local epidemiology of an outbreak. Wider application of this approach to historical and contemporary collections of isolates from around the globe will give us greater insight into the evolutionary biology of this important pathogen.

She plans to use this loan to invest in her fried chicken restaurant by buying potatoes, plantains, cooking oil, chicken, disposable dishes, and other goods. She will use the profit to reinvest in her business. She wants to have a successful restaurant.
This Esperanza associate began working with this group because she was interested in investing in her business, and she needed capital to improve her inventory. Her group is located in the rural areas surrounding Hato Mayor, an area where the economy is dominated by agriculture.
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.

This weekend Crime Stoppers along with Florida A&M students will hand out yard signs with a message to bring Ali Gilmore home.
Funding for projects such as this are made easier by the Tallahassee Police Department who gave the organization a $25,000 check, money Crime Stoppers sorely needs.
Allen Stucks of Crime Stoppers of the Big Bend says, "This donation gives us the opportunity to continue to increase our reward and the public education process to make sure we get the word out that we need help to assist law enforcement in solving crimes."
Walt McNeil, Tallahassee Police Chief, says, "They have already this year helped in solving some 20 cases. I believe and this money's going to go towards those kind of efforts in our community."
Some money will go towards the search for Ali Gilmore by way of more billboards, more yard signs, and even pictures on 55 city buses.

Formerly known as Anastasia Brow Wiz -Ash Blonde
An ultra-slim mechanical pencil to shape, define, and fill in your brows for a natural, polished look. Includes a spooley brush to easily blend for a natural look.
Ash Blonde - Suggested for light to dark blonde hair.
I have no eyebrows to speak of & have had trouble finding good pencils that will draw on a more natural looking brow. I have dark brown hair, but brown pencils tend to look too heavy and drawn-on, so I tried this pencil in taupe. It has a nice natural hue to it & doesn't look too heavy. Even with my brown hair, it blends well & looks pretty natural. I would recommend it for other women with similar issues of very thin to no brows - going lighter is a good choice. I do wish they were a little lower price, but I haven't found one better for less.
Tried this pencil and it works wonderfully. The color is perfect, it's easy to use and makes thin lines that look natural. It's a great base to use with some eyebrow powder too. I'm now holding off getting my eyebrows tatooed -going for the more natural look. Great little pencil, I highly recommend it.
For optimal results, use short strokes and a light touch to fill in the brow, and extend where needed. Always blend pencil with the brow comb for even color.
This product can be shipped to any country to which SkinStore currently ships.

The New York Giants have a little over $3 million in cap room left. Could they maybe use some of that to improve any spots on their roster or should they just hang onto it and move forward right now? There isn't really a lot left in the free agent market and there really aren't any spots to fill unless something catastrophic happens during training camp and the pre-season.
The two spots that are possible for a free agent pickup are wide receiver and tight end. The problem is that the two best people left at those spots are former Giants Plaxico Burress and Jeremy Shockey. I really can't see the Giants going down that road again for either player. I think those bridges were burned and the ashes were burnt.
On defense the only real free agent acquisition I could see is maybe bringing back Deon Grant like they did during training camp last year. The only way that happens though is if they are unhappy with the guys they brought in at safety or someone gets hurt.
If they are going to use any of it, maybe the best thing to do is use it internally. Locking up players like Hakeem Nicks and Jason Pierre-Paul before the market price for each becomes too crazy and they have to leave via free agency. If Victor Cruz continues to be the playmaker he was last year, maybe they should try to re-sign him as well during the season. Locking up young, core players who you've drafted or brought in as an undrafted free agent and developed has been key to the Giants success.
Right now I believe he should stand pat and let things play out. Who knows what tomorrow may bring though.

Well thats cool.

I did not choose to have Parkinson's Disease, but I can choose not to allow it to control my life.
I'd be a happy camper if mine wasn't so erratic. Sometimes it seems correct but, from time to time, it will jump to 230 bpm plus for a while for a time meaning I'm in Afib and dead and on other rides, it will jump to 00 meaning that I'm just plain dead.
Yes, I've had the batteries changed, I have both the regular and Wearlink chest straps and I rinse or wash them and use the Spectra Gel none of which makes much of a difference. I also have two FT 1 receiver units.
Sometimes, putting the sensor area on my back will bring back into my normal range, other times, that makes no difference.
I'd say it reads correctly about 50 per cent of the time.
Wayne at Polar customer service says it must be something in the chemical makeup of my sweat.
Paul01, I had similar problems with both Timex and Garmin units. Then I switched out the newer strap with the older hard plastic one and haven't had a problem since. I think the Polar system is the same ANT+ as Garmin uses. You might the try the older model strap here at Amazon. In the winter months I have to use the spectra-gel as I don't sweat enough.
Unfortunately, Polar uses a proprietary system that only works with their straps but I have both the standard rigid and the more flexible Wearlink chest straps and am always amazed that my heart can sustain 230 bpm plus for an hour ore more. I'm waiting for one of the top Euro teams to come calling.
I have only had this monitor for about 6 months, my old Timex gave up the ghost, so to speak. Two times the Polar has indicated a max heart rate in the 200's but has showed a normal HR during the ride. I will have to keep an eye on it..
I have the same issue with Polar. It usually happens when I first start it up. In fact - I usually have several false starts before it works properly. Anyone else have the same problem with starting it up?
Only once (so far) in the 2-or-so months I've owned it has it appeared to work okay, but shown a max HR of 230.
I think I need to get a grown-up system - and will spring for a Garmin 500 (or 510) in the next few months, and EBay the polar.

Mattoon asks: What now with FutureGen?
MATTOON, Ill. Angela Griffin spent Friday morning on the phone and in interviews trying to learn why the crown jewel of the FutureGen clean-coal experiment won't be coming to eastern Illinois.
Griffin led the local campaign to bring the idea of the project to Mattoon. But the president of the Coles Together economic development agency still doesn't know a lot about the federal government's abrupt decision to radically rewrite its plans for FutureGen, the on-again, off-again power plant project the town has celebrated, mourned and puzzled over the past few years.
The planned plant is gone, but Griffin says the Department of Energy's new plan to retrofit an existing plant 120 miles west and use Mattoon to store carbon dioxide generated there could still be a good job creator - with 75 to start.
But Griffin knows people around town - after spending well over a million dollars and thousands of hours wooing FutureGen - aren't happy to learn that, in the end, they'll sit on top of millions of tons of someone else's greenhouse gases.
"They have invested and invested so much in what they thought was going to become a flagship facility," she said. "And the spinoff economic activity that comes with that - those opportunities appear to be gone, and folks are very unhappy about that."
Mattoon was chosen in December 2007 as the site for FutureGen. The Energy Department and FutureGen Alliance, a group of coal mining companies and other firms, planned to build the power plant to prove that coal could be burned to make electricity while the carbon dioxide that makes coal a pollution problem could be captured and safely stored underground.
Since then the eastern Illinois town of 18,000 has watched the Bush administration pull its support over cost concerns that a federal auditor later said were based on faulty data, and then saw the project revived with a new president from Illinois in office.
The project promised 1,300 construction jobs and 150 high-skilled positions to a place that has struggled to replace jobs lost to the Rust Belt collapse of the 1970s and '80s.
On Thursday, the town and the FutureGen Alliance learned about the Department of Energy's plans for major changes. The department now plans a $1.2 billion project - including $1.1 billion in federal stimulus money - to retrofit a coal-fired plant owned by Ameren Corp. in Meredosia, Ill., about 60 miles northwest of Springfield.
That plant will try out a relatively new technology known as oxy-combustion - using pure oxygen to combust fuel rather than air - and pump its carbon dioxide to Mattoon through a 175-mile pipeline to be built as part of the project. The Mattoon plant would have tested a different technology to burn coal before capturing and storing the carbon.
There are also plans for a training center in Mattoon to teach people how to retrofit plants like the one in Meredosia, though the department said the details are still to be worked out.
The Energy Department says that if the new FutureGen project works, potentially dozens of other power plants in Illinois and surrounding states will need to be updated to meet changes in clean air standards and could be retrofitted and connected to the pipeline.
That position at the center of a network of carbon capture and storage should excite Mattoon, said Matt Rogers, a senior adviser to Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
If the project works, Mattoon could wind up with more jobs than the original FutureGen would have created, Rogers said.
Rogers called the department's decision to change the project without first consulting with Mattoon or the FutureGen Alliance companies less than ideal. But he said a Sept. 30 deadline to finalize stimulus-funded projects made it a necessity.

Washington Examiner: U.S. veterans are trapped in endless VA bureaucracy
Editor's Note: This is the first part in a series of stories from the Washington Examiner about benefit claims backlog at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
WASHINGTON — Mike Montgomery earned what he is owed the hard way in 13 months of combat in Vietnam where for days at a time the former Marine huddled in monsoon-swept rice paddies raked by enemy gunfire and soaked in Agent Orange by U.S. aircraft.
Since his 1968 discharge, Montgomery has fought the Department of Veterans Affairs over multiple health problems linked to his military service.
The VA initially rated him as partially disabled.
In June, Montgomery filed paperwork to change his disability rating to reflect the new condition. All he's heard since from the VA is two form letters noting the delay.
Montgomery is among the more than 1.1 million veterans trapped in bureaucratic limbo waiting for VA to process claims for disability and pension benefits earned through military service. Many will wait years for an answer.

The New York Academy of Art's Tribeca Ball Offers Something Other Galas Don't
Monday night's Tribeca Ball presented by Van Cleef & Arpels was undoubtedly one of the most fun parties of the spring gala season. It had the hip guest list, the incredible outfits, and the gourmet food, but it also had something you don't see all the time at these art events—actual art. Guests were free to roam the halls of the New York Academy of Art (NYAA)—(cocktails in hand, of course—exploring the students' studios and, in many cases, making purchases. While some students were less than thrilled about having to tidy up their work spaces, we spoke to one young artist who had sold an entire wall of paintings—we suspect it was all worth it in his case.
The event was in honor of Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham, but unfortunately we didn't spot their daughter Lena Dunham anywhere. We did, however, see Padma Lakshmi, Alan Cumming, Harley Viera-Newton, Dustin Yellin, Michael Shvo, Glenn O'Brien, and Bob Colacello.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The man who led Penn State's internal probe into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal wants the school's former president to elaborate on claims that he was defamed during the investigation.
Ex-Penn State President Graham Spanier is suing former FBI director Louis Freeh, who led the investigation, for defamation. But he has also requested that the civil suit he filed be put on hold while he defends Sandusky-linked criminal charges.
In a motion Tuesday, Freeh says the defamation charge is clouding his reputation. He objects to Spanier's request for a delay.
Freeh's 2012 report concluded that Spanier, football coach Joe Paterno and other school officials failed to protect children.
Sandusky has been imprisoned for sexually abusing boys. Spanier and two others are charged in an alleged cover-up.

Does anyone know what the past compensation was for the top execs. I know they are going to release more info in the report due on or before May 15. I'm just curious as to if they were simply payed in a small salary with huge share bonuses or if they as well received a large salary with there share bonuses. The reason I ask is because many top CEO's and execs may receive a small salary and a large amount of shares. If this is true then the insiders buying back roughly a million shares each... speaking of a few individuals .. then that makes more sense because they wouldn't have that much money to be purchasing much more than that.... if there salary's are much higher like over half a million or more.... just giving a random number here... then the buying back of a few million shares is pocket change and might be just to fool investors. I am long on the stock and own about a million shares. I use the Assault product MP is very popular... I know the company will eventually succeed but there start up / marketing / expansion costs were very quick and have greatly hurt the pps.... If anyone has any info on salary of the executives, i would appreciate it.
more than likely a form will be filled so they can submit documentation late. whats a 100 million shares from 2.5 billion? They have an excellenct company to cover up the devious acts. Time will tell if investors can cash in the same way.

Online Casino Australia. The Best Reviews of Casino Games For Online Gambling in 2016
Why play at an australian online casino?
You may be wondering what are the advantages of playing online casino games, versus playing pokies at the pub or at land based casino. This is why we prepared this extensive article, so that you could have all the information to make the right choice.
We understand that finding the best online casino in Australia is not an easy task. Many operators offer massive bonuses just to recruit you as a player, but then they don't look after you like they promised. At ProHPlayersArena we do all the heavy lifting for you. We've signed up and played at dozens of casinos online that take aussie players.
We've tested diverse payment methods and withdraw options, we've hammered their customer support, mocked up on purpose just to see how they would help us and played using different mobile devices. Basically, we've become obsessed with bringing you the best options to play pokies and all the other casino games online at the best possible legitimate casinos.
Finally, we've selected our top list and put them together in a comparison table for you to easily see which option is the best for you.
Can I make a deposit using paypal? What online casino accepts paypal?
Although Paypal is a very popular payment method in Australia, most casinos are used to dealing with another set of payment options, such as:
- Neteller
- Skrill
- Credit CardC
- Ukash
- ClickandBuy
- Debit Card
Are Australian online casinos legal?
Good question! You may come across some casinos that are not legit online; after all it's a wild world out there. But this is where we come in. All the operations that we recommend and include in our top rated list are safe, licensed companies who operate in a reliable manner with the proper licenses and respecting the local laws and rules of every jurisdiction they operate in. All our reviewed selections are reputable and reliable.
You can rest assured that we will never recommend an online casino without a license, as those are generally scams with rigged slots and definitely not legal. So how safes is it trully to register in one of these casinos? As long as you stick with the tried and tested, you'll be OK. We keep getting emails from users with questions such as:"what online casino is the safest", or "What online casino is legit?", or "which is the one with the best odds?" and our answer is always the same. There are hundreds of options online and we only recommend the tried and tested.
What are online casino bonuses? Can I get a bonus with no deposit?
Are bonuses worth the trouble? Of course they are. Whether they are casinos with signup/welcome bonus, or with free bonus, or a bonus without deposit, a bonus is a great way of playing with more money than you actually deposit. Free spins are fun and good for your wallet, you don't want to spend any time in any casinos without bonus.
Ok, there are some things you should take into consideration here. The first thing you need to decide is whether you want to simply play for fun, or if you want to play with real money.
The good news is that you actually can get a bonus even with no deposit (this would be a free bonus), but the amount you will get and the rules around how you will be able to withdraw may not be worth your time if you are in it to gamble some big bucks.
If you want to play free, that is perfectly fine. If you want to play with real money, this means that the casinos will reward you with an even bigger bonus. This can be in the way of a welcome or a matchup bonus, with no minimum deposit which you can get as soon as you sign up and this can happen with no download as well.
Alternatively there is a third option where they offer you to make a small deposit of $1, and this enables you to receive a much bigger bonus amount. As we stated, it is important to decide what you are looking for and make the decision that fits your budget and situation.
Can I Play for Free?
Sure, all these casinos have free versions where you can just play for fun and free. This free play comes without any wagering requirements, and you can play without deposit, verification, registration or even download. Simply play online using a flash player in your browser. So you can use this option if you don't want to make an investment in your gambling or even waste any time downloading software to your desktop or mobile.
What casino online is the best to play with real money?
If you want to play for money, then you seriously need to analyse the bonus promotions. Playing for real cash can be very exciting but it's definitely different than playing just for fun. If you are in this to earn money, you need to think about your strategy. There is no magic recipe that is going to show you how to win or make money by winning consistently. Your best shot is to take advantage of the heavy bonus promoitions and play conservatively.
What online casino is the best and pays out the most?
First, let us say that it is very hard to say which online casino is the best. There are many very good ones, and they often change and update their promotions and bonuses, so what might be the best today, might not be the one offering the most mind blowing promotion tomorrow.
Having said that, we work hard on letting you know where to play at online casinos for Australia and for real money.
Which online casino has the best payouts?
It's a good idea to play in the casino with the best payouts. You dont want to waste your time or money in those that don't pay the most.
Do I need to download the casino or can I play online?
You can definitely download the software into your device if you want to but you can also use the no download option and simply play online using flash.
Sure, you can play in a mac or a Microsoft computer, or any mobile devices (ipad, iphone, android compatible and some of them have apps you can download to your phone.)
With the changing technology, mobile phone gaming is getting incredibly popular. Many Australian mobile casinos are making sure to adapt to these changes. Online casinos are now offering all their games right from the comfort of your phone. This means that as long as you are within the network coverage, you will be able play online pokies or any other casino game of your choice. A number of mobile online casino sites have been reviewed to ensure that Australian players get the quality gaming experience they deserve.
In 2016, android phones are leading the mobile industry and becoming even more popular than the also popular IPhone. This is why we made sure that all the casinos that we review and list on this website are Android friendly and can be played in any mobile device that works with this operating system.
Of course Apple products are still incredibly popular. And this is especially true for the Ipad. So again, you can rest assured that the casinos listed here work perfectly fine in your Ipad tablet and you can play for real money as well.
And of course, we wouldn't forget about the one device that started the mobile revolution: the Iphone! Iphone Casinos are here to stay. So if you are one of those Apple lovers, worry not, you can snap your Iphone and log into your casino of choice (as long as we reviewed it!) and enjoy hours of entertainment.
Microsoft is still a very popular options and windows phones are totally supported on these casinos.
Needless to say, you can also play any of these casinos in your Mac notebook.
Can I play Blackjack
Of course, all the casinos we recommend have various types of Blackjac games which you can play.
Do these casinos have live roulette?
Again, the answer is yes. You can even play live roulette Australia and they accommodate to the Australian timezone.
Do they have live dealers?
Casino games with live dealers are great for players that miss the one-to-one contact with a real croupier. On live dealer games, you interact with a real person via video chat technology, and the game is played in real time. Just like when you visit a real casino! Live dealers are real people and they make the experience that much real and enjoyable for players who like this aspect of gambling.
The most popular games that are played with the live dealer feature are:
- Roulette
- Blackjack
- Baccarat
- Texas Hold'em
Do they have all the latest Pokies?
Sure. More than 500. Do you think this is enough for you?
The rest of the world know them as "Online Slots". But down under we have a different name for them don't we? Yeah mate, we are talking about the good old Pokies.
Aussies love the pokies; many people enjoy going to the pub, have a few, and then try their luck at their favourite game. Who knows, maybe make a buck or two. Maybe just have a bit of fun. But online pokies have many advantages over land based machines.
To name a few:
- The payout percentages are better at online casinos than at land based casinos and pubs.
- Online, you can play ANY game you fancy VS. at the pub you are stuck with what they have
- Online, (especially if you use the casinos we review and recommend) you can take advantage of welcome bonuses (both free and matchup bonuses are available)
- Play anytime, anywhere, any game you like.
- You may play the Jackpot games. This alone can turn you a millionaire!
- If you play often, our recommended online casinos will look after you with amazing loyalty programmes. You would never get this as the pub!
I heard that some casino are good, like Gaming Club, Casino Mate, Roxy Palace, 888, 32red, Royal Vegas, Lasseters, Spin Palace, Ruby Fortune. Can I play in those?
You can play in any casino you want. All we do here is review and rate those that we think are the best casinos for aussies. Please see the top of this page for our top selection.
Do you offer an online casino guide for Australia?
We thought this was a funny question because this website IS the ultimate casino guide for Australians. We don't do any advertising, and we are not betting on your blind trust. If you ask around in forums we are known to provide the best information available in the market.
What is your main criteria to rate casinos?
Basically we rank the best online casino based on different parameters giving players a chance to get the best rewards. For most casino players, preferences on choosing the best casino relies on parameters such as withdrawal or deposit options, bonuses available, customer support services etc.
Without a doubt, our reviews will provide any online casino player/gambler with the competitive odds that he/she needs to get the best rewards out of each game. This is simply one of a kind shopping guide for the best online casino games on the internet.
What are the Best Australian Online Pokies?
Australian online pokie machines also offer a significant number of reels. They also offer classic three reel games, which on very limited occasions have bonus rounds or flashy graphics. The two most popular pokies manufacturers are Aristocrat and Microgaming. People have different tastes, some like more zing when playing while others don't. You shouldn't worry since the options are countless and you will definitely find the game that will blow your mind and provide you with hours of entertainment.
Why is it better to play online?
Land based pokies are usually programmed to pay out 82% to 98% of the money that is wagered. However, online pokies typically beat these percentages, making it statistically more attractive for players to gamble online rather than at the pubs or casinos. In Australia, the "poker machines", "pokies" or "slots" usually display 5 reels, and use attractive video displays. They have additional bonuses and second-screen possibilities, like free games and bonus levels. Australian pokies are also known to offer multiple paylines (up to 200) or multiple ways to be played (up to 3,000)
Before committing to gambling with real money, it is wise to check the graphics, bonuses and game play. More often, it's prevalent with Australian online casino players who do this by playing different pokies online. This advice goes to anyone who wants to play pokies online. Only go to online casinos that genuinely provide free online pokies to its clients.
- Play free pokies to get basics of playing
- Get a feel for a pokies' payout table
- Unlock bonus games without risking any money
- Have an idea of how frequent pokies machines pay

The sea is the gateway to countless battles with trainers and pokemon! I also revisited some underwater locations and explored to try and find more places that I still haven't been to. And to my surprise, I still find locations that I haven't seen before.

Hi, posted a similar message on the folders forum, before I found this.
Anyway, I am a professor in the UK, going to do some research at Michigan State and U of Michigan Libraries for just over a week split between the two. Hotels near the libraries are very expensive, and those 2-3 miles out much cheaper. I was thinking of bringing one of my folding bikes and cycling to work - but would that be fun, are these both cycling friendly places, or is it freeways and heavy traffic all the way ?
Any help or insights welcome.

To the editor:
Well, we know a few things about the health care plan.
First, it was drafted by elitists who had the gall to tell the representatives of a democratic republic to simply pass a huge bill and read it later.
Second, it was drafted by elitists who know what is best for us but, apparently, not for themselves, as they excluded themselves and other federal government folks from compulsory participation in the system. I'm still waiting to see when the Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid mess, which was also driven down the populace's throat, will apply to them as well.
Third, the plan was peddled as less radical than it really is, with an asterisk rather than a period when the president said folks could keep their plans and doctors if they wanted.
The problem is that President Barack Obama knew, as did others who drafted and supported and voted for the plan (the minority who actually read it by then), that regulations would eliminate many of those existing plans, because the elitists believed those existing plans were not good enough and legislated them out of existence.
To date, many, many more people have received cancellation notices than those who have been able to sign up for Obamacare, despite expensive Internet site costs and public relations folks trying to drum up business.
The ratio of cancellations to those signed up is in the range of 50 to 1. My bet is that very few of the necessary folks (young, healthy) have signed up or will sign up in numbers which come within 50 percent of the necessary numbers to make the system financially viable, even to the
true believers.
Fourth, while the administration had years to prepare, the website has had multiple problems and is already very expensive. Additionally, there are admitted serious security problems, which will not be fixed before 2015.
Another serious security breach is the fact that "navigators" who will guide folks through this process are not screened. You may have a criminal happily processing your private information, which he or she will use for their own nefarious purposes when they get home.
Yes, there are a lot of uninsured folks out there. And, there are now at least 5 million who have lost their coverage, which they had paid for themselves. To date, others' insurance and copays paid medical and hospital and pharmaceutical bills; and charitable contributions paid for whatever medical services the uninsured received. Now, even higher premiums will pay for some of them
to be covered; many will still
be neglected.
I wonder if anyone has added up the real cost to subsidize each of the newly covered, but my guess is that the cost is enormous, and in any case much higher than if we simply had drafted legislation to cover merely the uninsured. I wonder what it will cost to re-insure the rest.
In any other set of circumstances, what the president repeatedly, consistently has said would be clearly identified as lying, to preserve his signal policy victory at the cost of great civic cynicism. He has, illegally, altered Obamacare, carefully giving exemptions to keep the program afloat, making people understand that he has redefined fairness as well as the separation of powers. A predominantly liberal and supportive press has failed to expose these and press for honesty on an executive branch and Senate with similar progressive agendas.
And those who claim to be conservative have done disservice by not pointing us back to the Constitution and the inequities of this legislation. They have not effectively worked in concert, nor have they effectively outlined alternatives. (Of course, the first is to repeatedly cite the Hippocratic Oath to the liberal childish criticism that conservatives need to present a similar monstrosity of a bill as an alternative to Obamacare.)
I am not sure why the outcry against every senator and representative has been thus far so muted. But I believe my only recourse is to simply demand that if Obamacare or, as it is officially known as the Affordable Care Act, is to be the sick law of the land, that all exemptions and selective delays be immediately withdrawn, and that federal workers also trade in their benefits plans for Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid.
Legislators who refuse to do so will find they are serving their
final term of office.

James has been operating his mixed farm in Kisii town, Western Kenya for over 20 years. He has employed two people from his community. His farm produces beans, millet, vegetables, maize and milk, which he sells to the local market. He solely depends on the income from farming to fulfill the needs of his family. His primary challenge has been debtors who don't pay their debts.
James has requested this loan from Juhudi Kilimo of 70,000 KES to purchase a dairy cow. He says that the proceeds from the sale of milk will enable him educate his children and finish building his house. In the future, he plans to expand his vegetable business by growing more vegetables and exploring more markets.
He is grateful to Juhudi for being there to support them.

This review is from: Monster Inspiration Over-Ear Active Noise Cancelling Headphones - Titanium - 128725
Pros: Good Bass
Cons: The highs are artificially boosted....That's a no go for me
Other Thoughts: These are a really good set of headphones. It all depends on the use of them. If you plan to use these with your phone or mp3 player. I would pick them up, because the battery will boost the volume for you. If you listen to a lot of electronic music, these are for you. If you listen to rock or country...be prepared for the highs. These have a flat mid, boost mid/low, low section then comes the part I hate... the artificially boosted highs. I couldnt go more than 15 minutes listening to music before I had to make EQ adjustments. That being said, if you have an EQ it will help with the Hgihs. Though they will still be boosted a tad. So if you have a decent set up and Soundcard with a good EQ pick them up. If you want something more natural that will focus on natural voice and stronger mids...look elsewhere

Excellent and so easy! I usually have these ingredients on hand.
This was wonderful! I only had one fresh apple, so I used a 16oz can of Fuji apples instead (just the actual apples, I left the goopy stuff behind). The lemon is definitely very strong in this, but I think it went really well with the apples. I also used a can of the "big and buttery" crescent rolls, so the dough sheet was just the right size without having to fold it before filling. It was especially nice how quickly this came together. Wondering how good this would be with a cream cheese filling in place of the apples...? Thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7
Took this to a cookout and brought home an empty plate. I plan to make another again to take to work later this week. Made by a fellow Spoonie for Zwt6.
Oh YUM!!! This was absolutely delicious!! The crescent rolls make quick work of this recipe, so I was able to have it on the table in just under an hour. I used Fuji apples and the full 1 tsp. lemon rind in the glaze. The apple and lemon flavors work very well together. This was truly bakery quality!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!! *Made for ZWT6 X-tra Hot Dishes*
The lemon was totally overpowering in this, and I didn't think the flavors went very well together. My hubby was in agreement and we ended up throwing out most of it.
This is easy, fast, and tasted wonderful. My husband and daughter polished off the whole thing this morning while it was still warm. The only thing I did different was to add a few candied almonds on the top after baking for presentation. With or without the almonds this is quite an impressive dessert. Thanks for the recipe.
I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could. The taste is so unbelievable and it's easy to make. I think next time I will make it with puff pastry for a bit more crunch, but I will also make it this way again. It's a definite keeper.
This was sooooo easy! We don't get canned rolls here in Oz so I used a frozen puff pastry sheet instead which worked really well. DH and I ended up eating the whole lot ourselves - loved the combo of lemon & apple and the way the apple coating turns almost into a sauce. Made for ZWT3
This looked so good I had to try it. My eyes didn't deceive me. lol. Delicious,and so quick and easy too. I used brown sugar,because I didn't have any white and added some walnut crumbs raisins and cinnamon. I'll definitly be making this again thank you.
Well, Charmie, I didn't skip the glaze... adds so much to the taste. (forgetaboutdahips) This is a sensational recipe...so easy--and bakery quality. Love this!!! Made for PAC Sprg.07

Well said, hdtv267… Any hope of another company moving in?
I'll be there for the Lord of the Rings marathon… can't wait… loved this theater back in the day… thrilled to have it back!
Attended an Academy screening of Lincoln last night followed by a Q and A panel including the likes of Daniel Day Lewis, Steven Speilberg, John Williams, Kathleen Kennedy, etc. The theater was packed. First time I've seen it this way in years. Made me miss the glory days of Westwood. The old house still has it. Excellent presentation.
Amen, lukesky7
The Premier Cinema is quite impressive. Love the balcony. A+
Saw The Master today under the dome in glorious 70mm!
Great memories, Kyle. This was one of my favorite theaters growing up. Cinema Center across the street was awesome too! The last time I saw a movie at this location was in 1996… it was the Hellraiser set in outer space, I believe it was called Bloodline. I have to say, the theater was in pretty bad shape at this point. I wonder if they spruced it up for Star Wars. If memory serves they closed it shortly thereafter. Anyway, glad to see other movie geeks showing love for Edwards.
Although I'm not 100% behind the concept of iPic, it comforts me to know that the Avco will live on in some capacity.
Saw The Dark Knight Rises IMAX yesterday… haven't been to this theater in a couple of years since it was the Bridge… it's still a great place to see a film and the IMAX is true!
Profoundly disturbing. Some thoughts from AICN:
Nordling here.
I can't help thinking about the kids at last night's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES screening in Aurora, Colorado. How excited they must have been – perhaps they were anticipating it all day before loading up into the car and going to the movies. We've all been there. I feel something like that every time I sit down to a new movie, and especially the big ones like this, I always feel like a kid again.
This tragedy has struck the heart of our community. These people are us. Who else goes to midnight screenings but we crazy few movie geeks – yes, even Batman movies – and that excitement is palpable. I wish I could bottle it for the bad days, because it's one of those times in my life where true joy is found. Going to the movies is my favorite thing in the world, other than spending time with my family and friends. It's literally what I live for.
This weekend, go to a movie. No, it's not about keeping the bad guys from winning, or making a statement, although if you want it to be, that's okay. Go to the movies this weekend because it's a joy. One of the last great joys we have left these days, it seems. Plant youself in a theater, and see whatever you fancy. It's the place dreams come true. It's the magic land. That screen isn't a window – it's a door. An inviting door that lets in everyone. All are welcome in that world, and we get to wonder in the power of imagination and beauty.
I don't normally post like this and I'm sorry if this upsets some of you. I'm grieving for the losses in Aurora, Colorado, and I am trying very hard not to play the political games of finding where to put blame. This community took a real loss today, and I mourn those who were killed, pray for the wounded, and celebrate that magic that we all chase every time we sit down in a movie theater. Theaters are my church, and today we're all hurting.
I love movies, and you do too. Let's celebrate them.
Saw Prometheus under the dome at the midnight show. Amazing presentation. Jerry Goldsmith's haunting Alien score playing before the movie inside the cavernous auditorium really set the mood. A+
In the mid to late 80s I visited this theater many times. It was quite nice for its day. Located in the mall above the ice skating rink. Great memories seeing some classics there with my Grandma: Critters, Ruthless People, Color of Money, At Close Range… she'd take us to see just about anything. It was closed when the mall transformed from an indoor to outdoor venue. A new theater was built on the same level a few stores over. Still a great place to see a movie.
Thanks, Zubi… great insight!
Still going strong after ten years.
My bad… saw a piece on the news about the closing of the Music Hall due to lease issues… seemed like the theater was closing THIS weekend… drove past today and it looks like business as usual.
Sad news. Theater to close this weekend.
Drove past today. The place is in shambles. Sad. Hope they're planning on restoring it. Any scoops?
They should have never split the large theater. Saw many classics there… Back to the Future… Die Hard in 70mm… stand out the most. Sad to see it go. Will visit this week and post interior photos soon.
I agree with you, Flix 70. Edwards Big Newport is a portal to movie magic. There's something really special about that auditorium. There's no better theater to see a movie on opening night… so many classics over the years… so many great audiences.
Another great late 80's/early 90's OC venue.
Great picture! I drive past this now vacant lot every day. Makes me sad. Nice to see the National in all its glory.
Here's a link to the demolition of the South Coast Plaza Theaters. Try to get past the music by Live. The video is sad enough already.
I think I spent every Friday night at this theater during the mid to late 1980s. Always packed on the weekends with lively moviegoers. Some memorable opening night screenings include: Aliens (70mm), Star Trek IV, Platoon, Three Amigos, Beverly Hills Cop II, The Untouchables, Die Hard (at least three weekends in a row), Scrooged, Batman, Silence of the Lambs, Colors, Willow, Red Heat, the list goes on and on so I'll stop here. Regency Charter Center is a living monument to the mostly vanishing Edwards theaters of the 1980s.
Really nice theaters… first rate presentation… the only cinema Huntington Beach needs.

'People's Minster' Takes Swipe at Corruption, Favoritism
For two whole weeks the Qatari play Wazeer Al Nas (People's Minster) constituted a cultural event that has attracted the audience by its daring tackling of many issues of importance to the society.
According to the daily Al Hayat, the play criticizes what it describes as the people's minister who changes from an honest person into a slaughterer of people. This bitter criticism has become the topic of talks between people and indicative of the theatrical venues at this stage.
Costarring in the play along with the young Qatari stage actors are prominent Kuwaiti artists including Khaled Al Nafisi (People's Minister), Haya Al Shaabi (Minister's wife) and Abeer Ahmed (Minister's daughter). Also the Qatari play screenwriter Abdel Aziz Jasem took part in the performance.
The play portrays the new minister who becomes after assuming office busy with his private business projects and partnership with those contractors who work for his ministry. He even gives his wife, daughter and son in law the opportunity to become partners in certain projects. This is in addition to his keenness on appointing his family members in top ranking posts in his ministry throwing down the open door policy which every new minister follows. People have become forgotten amid the interests of the new minister.
The play makes gestures to those ministers who embezzle the budget of their ministries and appoint their relatives in high-ranking posts including the director of the minister's office. It also sheds light on the problem of low governmental salaries, the fact that spurs the wife of the most honest employee, head of tenders committee, to ask her husband to exploit his position and embezzle money and accept bribery. The husband nixes his wife's request and put up with her pressures and threatening of divorce.
Despite the steadfastness of the honest employee (before being appointed minister), his conditions change when he becomes minister including the type of his house and the life style of the family -- Albawaba.com

Sanjay Gupta" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/sanjay_gupta_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">After countless decades of formula/masala films, it is time for a change. And the person who wants to make a difference is none other than producer-director, Sanjay Gupta.
His latest offering, 'Dus Kahaniyan', has ten stories woven into one film. The stories deal with themes like love, marital woes, illicit liaisons, and gang wars. "This is the first time that an Indian movie is trying a different approach to cinema," says Gupta.
The cast includes Bollywood greats like Shabana Azmi, Naseerudin
Shah, and Gupta's close buddy, Sanjay Dutt. Twelve writers and six
directors have got together for the project, which is due for release
on November 23.
