Does Bitter Melon GOLD™ contain anything other than the active ingredient?
In addition to the active ingredient, each vegetarian capsule of Bitter Melon GOLD™ contains some non-GMO, gluten-free rice concentrate.

Please be advised that nutritional supplements work best when they are taken as part of a health maintenance program that includes a sensible diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, a moderate exercise program, and the necessary lifestyle changes to support wellness.

New ThemeSubmitted by WebAdmin on Thu, 08/27/2015 - 9:38pm
Hello fellow Cubs fans!
You may have noticed a few subtle changes to the site :D. It's going to take some time for some of the pages to be altered to fit in with the scheme, but either the content's author will have to do the work or I'll do it and coordinate with her/him if necessary. Bottom line is that each editor shouldn't try to do too much with their writings. I can create special classes for highlights or layouts that are often used. I can also set the editor up such that all embedded styling is automatically removed.

If you've ever gotten an insufficient funds fee or a over-the-limit penalty fee or a late payment penalty fee, you probably have tried to get it removed by asking nicely. My wife is really good at this, she could probably sweet talk a Citi CSR into giving her a refund and a bouquet of flowers for the hassle of calling them up! Whether you're nice like my wife or simply good at pointing at the financial benefits of keeping you as a customer (that's how I roll… d20 save vs. financial realities sucka), you can employ this strategy in a vareity of places… including your credit history.
If you have some legitimate negative items (late payments) on your credit history, you might be able to get them removed by using a Goodwill Adjustment Letter. Some companies won't report 30-day and 60-day late payments, it's really not worth it, but if you review your report and see some late payments, you might be able to use a Goodwill Adjustment Letter to get those things removed.
While you could try this for any negative items, it's most effective for negative items that are a year old or more. It's important to show that those late payments were an aberration and that you've improved your finances such that it won't happen again.
Goodwill Adjustment Letter Template
[Your Name]
[Company Name, Department]
[Company Representative],
I understand that you're extremely busy but I hope you can find time to consider this request for me. I have been a [Company Name] customer since [Year] and during that time, I have enjoyed my experience with your company.
I am contacting you to see if you would be willing to make a "goodwill" adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have [Number] late payments on the above referenced account that date back [Number] months. Since that time I have been an exceptional customer paying every month on time.
Because of my overall exceptional payment history with your company over the last [Number] years, I would like you to consider removing the negative payments from my credit report. I have been a very happy customer in the past and hope to continue a long relationship with [Company Name].
I look forward to your reply.
[Your Name]
Making A Case
The template, while a good starting point, can't be all that you write. It's important to build a case to the company as to why they should adjust your report. If you can explain away some of the late payments, it will go a long way to convincing them to do it. For example, if you were a college student and simply careless, say that. If you were lost your job or moved, let them know. If the majority of your lates were of the 30 day variety, tell them that too.
Good luck!

Keep up the good workFebruary 20,2013
Keep up the good work
I would like to give a shout-out to the Vermont Mental Health Counselors Association and the Vermont Psychological Association, who, along with other professional provider groups, came together to protest the undiscussed and unannounced cuts in Medicaid mental health care reimbursements that went into effect on Jan. 1. These cuts of 10 percent in the already low fees received by mental health service providers would have seriously undermined the number of providers willing and able to see low-income and disabled Vermonters.
These have just been rescinded by the Shumlin administration. It is a tribute to the professional organizations in our state and to the flexibility and availability of legislators and policymakers that dialogue and revision could happen swiftly.
Professional organizations operate on shoestring budgets with dedicated volunteers. I encourage any professional who benefits from insurance reimbursement to join their statewide organizations, which continue to work on behalf of all mental health providers and clients. Have you hugged your psychotherapist today?

York County ranks third for texting while driving tickets
Law took effect last March
Published 9:51 AM EDT Mar 13, 2013
The statewide numbers for texting while driving tickets have been released, and York County is near the top of the list.
AAA said York County ranks third behind Philadelphia and Pittsburgh since the law took effect last March.
Wayne Harper, the head of York County's Center for Traffic Safety, said it shows police are staying on top of a hard-to-enforce law.
"That just gets back to what I think is superb enforcement efforts and making traffic safety a priority. Eventually it probably will balance out," said Harper.
Harper said over time there will be more tickets issued in the more populated areas of the state.

Rex Smith
It's probably unfair to judge Rex Smith as a serious rock artist. Lines like "Bright as the stars that shine above/Let's fill our cup with the wine of love" surely aren't meant for adults. No, his adolescent music and prime-time good looks—displayed topless on the LP's back cover—suggest Smith is vying for the teen idol crown. He does have a grittier voice and more chest hair than Shaun Cassidy. And Smith's single You Take My Breath Away sold a million last year. Here he remines the shallows of commercially inspired passion in songs like To You, Everytime I See You and Without You.

I'll give this to the current front office, they refuse to ignore big contracts that outstrip a player's current production. First it was the linebacking corps being asked to restructure, with former defensive leader Lofa Tatupu refusing (and consequently getting released) and disappointing fourth overall pick Aaron Curry agreeing (and getting to stay with the team). Now they've set their sights on the six year, $50 million deal that ninth-year veteran Marcus Trufant signed back in 2008.
Trufant has agreed to cut his 2011 salary from $5.9 million down to $3 million, although he can boost his pay back up if he can meet certain performance incentives. But what about the other two years of his contract? Take a look at these numbers:
$5.9 $3 million
2012: $7.2 million
2013: $8.8 million
If he's only worth $3 mil this year, there's no way the team is going to give him a $4.2 million raise next season. Trufant's contract might be left alone for the time being, but it hasn't seen the last of John Schneider.

One of the most coveted perks at Travelzoo is the Travelzoo Experience, in which Deal Experts and other employees take advantage of the same travel, entertainment and local deals we publish to our subscribers and report back on their experience.
Disclaimer before you continue reading about my trip to Italy: This itinerary for a European vacation is not intended for those traveling with small children, anyone who needs six+ hours of sleep per night, or those opposed to consuming high volumes of espresso.
We started our adventure visiting family in Milan. In December, Fly.com published a Newsflash compiling airfare deals from NYC to popular destinations throughout Europe. To our luck, Milan was on the list of destinations, and we saved $400 per ticket on a trip we thought would take us years to save up for. The second largest city in Italy, Milan is best known as a fashion capital. Prada, Versace and Armani are among the houses headquartered in the city and can be found in the country's oldest shopping mall, the Quadrilatero d'Oro (Golden Quadrilateral).
As we were about to leave the train, a fellow traveler explained the best way to see Venice, "don't ask for directions and just keep walking." The most famous portion is made up of 118 islands in the shape of a fish connected by countless bridges. What people might not realize before coming is that Venice is designed for walking and exploring -- don't be afraid to follow a path that appears to be a dead end, this is how we found our favorite slice of pizza in all of Italy. Coming from Manhattan, we were surprised to find that almost all bars and restaurants close around 10 and everything is completely dead by midnight. We pilfered some wine from our host and shared the bottle in a completely empty St. Mark's Square, crammed with tourists by daylight.
I'm definitely not a "foodie," but even I was excited to eat in Florence. Much like New York, Italians prefer to eat late and most restaurants require a reservation, so pop in early to get your name on the list for an evening of people watching almost as good as the food. We crossed the Ponte Vecchio bridge just before Medici's jewelry shops closed up for the night and somehow found Piazza della Passera (too small for a map), the locale of Trattoria i 4 Leoni. Modern art and rustic wood furnishings share the intimate space and the menu's Tuscan cuisine is anything but traditional Italian -- try the Fagottini dip ere e asparagi, or pear ravioli.
We stayed in ancient Rome, which was ideal for seeing the Coliseum, Roman Forum and a central location to easily hit Vatican City, the Spanish Steps and other notable sights in a short amount of time.
We were welcomed to the Italian capital by freezing rain. While others might use this as an excuse to spend the evening in their hotel room with a bottle of Italian wine, we took to the abandoned streets and came away with incredible, unobstructed photos of Rome's most recognizable landmarks.
A pope-less Rome meant the Sistine Chapel was closed for the Cardinals' conclave. Because we aren't Catholic, we wandered to Vatican City in hopes of running into the American media and ended up opting for our own photo shoot instead of joining the two-hour, 36 Euro (US$46) museum queue.
Back to Milan in a Flash:
Always a Deal Expert, whether home or abroad, I found a two-for-one ticket on the ItaliaRail high speed rail, Frecciarossa. Traveling at up to 360 km/h (220 mph), this got us back to Milan in only three hours -- plenty of time to celebrate Fest de la Donna, the annual celebration of women, with our friends and family before flying back to NYC in early the morning.

State Law Enforcement Division agents charged a Summerville man accused of forging court documents in order to convince his girlfriend that he was divorced.
According to an arrest affidavit, Edward Brown, 45, of Branch Creek Trail, swapped out his first wife's name with his second on a divorce decree to make it look like he was no longer married.
Brown also altered the case number and several dates on the divorce papers, the affidavit states. He mailed the forged documents to his girlfriend saying that they were real, SLED agents said.
Brown is charged with forgery with no dollar amount involved.
If convicted on the misdemeanor charge, Brown could face up to three years in prison, a fine or both, according to SLED.

Muscat Polymers (P.) Ltd.
Commissioner of Central Excise
APPEAL NOS. ST/400 and 488 OF 2010
The credit of Service Tax paid on mobile telephone services has been disallowed on the ground that invoice is in the name of the company C/o employee's name. Further, it has also been held that the appellant had not produced any evidence to show that mobile telephone was used exclusively for business activity of the company. The appellant is aggrieved by this decision and is in appeal. Revenue is also aggrieved that penalty under Section 78 of Finance Act, 1994 has only been imposed and no penalty under Section 76 of Finance Act, 1994 has been imposed.
2. Heard both sides.
3. In this case, there is no dispute that even though the bill is in the name of company C/o employee's name, the payment for the service has been made by the company only. I also find that the submission of the appellant that employee's name was put for internal purpose is also reasonable since the company has to know who is utilizing the telephone so that they can monitor the utilization and also ensure that phone is not misused. When the telephone itself is listed in the name of company and given to employee for official use, the requirement observed by the Commissioner that the company has to show that all calls made were relating to business would result in voluminous work for both sides, which would be unproductive. I also find that without insisting on such requirement, credit of Service Tax paid on mobile telephone service was allowed by this Tribunal in the case of CCE v. ITW India Ltd. [Final Order Nos. A/1657-1658 of 2009, dated 28-7-2009] as also by Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in the case of CCE v. Excel Crop Care Ltd. [2009] 20 STT 164.
4. In view of the fact that the issue is covered by the decision of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat, I find that the appeal has to be allowed and the appeal is allowed accordingly. Once the appeal is allowed on merit, question of imposition of penalty under Section 76 as also under Section 77 of Finance Act, 1994 does not arise. As a result, the appeal filed by the Revenue is required to be rejected.
5. In the result, the appeal filed by the appellant is allowed and the appeal filed by the Revenue is rejected.

Take a look at my blog (http://thebkon.blogspot.com/)
You can see a gif file switching between me in September of 2007 (325lbs) and me in Mexico this April (270lbs). Currently I am at 257.4 lbs but I still have some work to do. I also have comparisons in measurements under the "My Vitals" logo.
Let me know what you think of the blog itself and if there is anything you would like to see!
PS I would like to know how tall people are when I see their before and after pictures. (This interest came to me when I was watching the finale of the Biggest Loser). 300lbs looks a lot different on a 6'4" frame than it does on a 5'0" frame.

What do you get when you combine faith, a sense of community, love of music, an experienced music director and a generous church facility?
If you go
WHAT: St. James Community Orchestra concertWHEN: 5:30 p.m. May 6WHERE: St. James Episcopal Church Ministry Center, 1872 Camp Road, James IslandCOST: FreeMORE INFO: To donate funds, instruments or equipment, and to ask about joining the group, visit www.stjames communityorchestra.org or call Tomi Moore at 743-6200.
You get the St. James Community Orchestra, founded last year by members of St. James Episcopal Church.
You get a group of amateur musicians, some very young, some older, who gather together in fellowship to express themselves through music.
You get a chance to add a little glue to a fractured James Island community.
You get to provide local musicians (not only members of the church) with opportunities to play great works such as Brahms Academic Overture and Rimsky-Korsakovs Capriccio Espagnol.
You get to explore little-known contemporary music by such composers as Arvo Part, whose spirituality infuses everything he writes.
And if youre so inclined, you get to grow closer to God through music: Music played under the live oaks and Spanish moss, near a house of faith, within natures sanctuary.
Building community is the No. 1 priority, said the Rev. Arthur Jenkins, rector of St. James Church. So much seems to divide the people on James Island.
They argue about extending Interstate 526. They argue about whether to incorporate as a town. They argue about development and whats happening along Folly Road.
But a community orchestra, open to all, perhaps can redefine James Islands identity, Jenkins said.
The enterprise got its start in March 2011 when church member and amateur violinist Samuel Burns sent an email to Jenkins and church music director Ward Moore suggesting the formation of a community orchestra.
Maybe at first we would be just a duet, then a trio, then a quartet, but someday a full-blown orchestra, he wrote, adding that the congregation included a number of musicians who could form a core.
Indeed, music has played a big part in church life.
The adult choir works hard during traditional services. A praise band is employed for contemporary services. In the congregation are several able musicians.
Burns said the community orchestra gives players who are more than beginners but less than pros a chance to play the good stuff. A year and a half ago, he reacquainted himself with his violin after a 40-year hiatus. Nowadays, he practices a lot.
The youngest player in the orchestra is 12-year-old bassoonist Ronny Hord, who keeps busy appearing in woodwinds competitions, his colleagues said. One parishioner was inspired by the initiative to take up the clarinet, Burns said.
Jenkins said Charleston has a lot of great music, but not a lot of opportunities for amateurs and nothing to speak of on James Island.
Im intrigued by how many musicians dont have a platform, a place to offer their gift, he said. The community orchestra fills the void.
Off and running
Last May, the organizers started advertising for players, said Ward Moore. By late June, the ensemble was rehearsing. In August, orchestra manager Tomi Moore, Wards wife, applied for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. On Dec. 11, the orchestra offered its first concert; 150 came to listen.
Today, the group has about 20 regular members. Others, including a few professionals, join as needed. The orchestra badly needs an oboist and more string players, Burns said. Eventually, there could be spin-off ensembles: trios and quartets, that sort of thing, he said.
On May 6, the St. James Community Orchestra will offer its second concert at 5:30 p.m. in the Ministry Center of the church. On the program is a suite from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet; the Orchestral Quartet in F Major by Karl Stamitz; On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter (music used in the film Shutter Island); the Russian Easter Overture by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov; and Vater Unser (Our Father) by Estonian composer Part, a recent work he dedicated to Pope Benedict XVI.
Burns said hes a big admirer of Part and looks forward to introducing audiences to his mesmerizing and sacred sounds.
Beyond school walls
Kevin Josiger, an 18-year-old trumpeter and senior at James Island Charter High School, said he heard about the orchestra from a friend whos a member of St. James Church. A serious horn player who plans on majoring in political science and music at Coastal Carolina University, Kevin was looking for opportunities to play outside school. So he became a founding member of the orchestra.
Its less stressful than band class, he said. Its a nice environment, and everyones pretty friendly.
When the group runs into musical problems, the members work them out together, he said.
Its going pretty good, Kevin said. Its a really fun thing to do.
Samantha Parsons, a 17-year-old flutist and senior at James Island Charter High, said she started playing her instrument in the sixth grade. Last year, she picked up a piccolo. This is her first experience in an orchestra. She joined after hearing about the opportunity from her band teacher.
The music that we play is really cool, and you get to meet a lot of cool people, Samantha said.
Shes no stranger to live performance. Shes played flute in her own Church of the Nativity on Folly Road since her sophomore year. Next year shell attend the University of South Carolina, majoring in math. She might minor in music, she said. And she and Kevin might continue to perform with the orchestra despite the distance between James Island and their universities. Moore offered to send the music to them, she said.
Moore likened the orchestra to a community within a community.
Jenkins echoed the sentiment.Its a fine thing for St. James. We get a lot of good out of it, he said. And its a great thing for James Island.

Today's commentary by local Athens Banner-Herald columnist Leon Galis, in which he critiques the newspaper's recent decision to begin highlighting some online reader comments at the newspaper's website, OnlineAthens.com, and suggests allowing local columnists to moderate the comments appended to their commentaries, is drawing a lot of comment. Here's a sampling:-- "For the most part, we're all village idiots here. You'd be crazy to assign value to any comment you read, especially an anonymous one.

To perhaps no one's surprise, the OnlineAthens commentariat found today's story on the indictment of 20 college students — 16 from the University of Georgia — by a Clarke County grand jury in connection with a fake ID ring to be a rich source of amusement and reflection. Here's some of what they wrote, including their own experiences with fake IDs — not including their current online pseudonymity.

My observation started a discussion amongst us all, and some anger was expressed during the conversation. Most of us agreed that the cost of this event was not worth the publicity, and that it was a colossal waste of money. I'll be interested to see if that opinion makes it into print in any of the "mainstream" rags. My guess is that it will not.
But enough logic. People don't come to Vegas (or Vegas sites) to be immersed in the harsh realities of life, they come to escape it — so let's get to the girls.
There were lots of them. Two hundred and eighty one of them to be exact. Most of them were attractive, most of them were friendly, and they were a diverse group. There was a girl here to fit everyone's taste. White, black, Asian, short, tall, skinny, cushion for the pushin, blonde, brunette — you name it, there was a girl here to stiffen your Oscar Mayer.
One of the event promoters, Holly Madison was also here, but I had to ask the crowd what her claim to fame was. Apparently, she was married to Hugh Hefner and took her clothes off blah blah blah — it didn't really matter. She was bangable so I snapped her photo a few hundred times so I would have some material for the restroom at 2am when I have insomnia. Nothing makes you sleepier than – well, if you're a dude I need not explain further.
I later learned from one of my forum members that she "might" be taking Kelly Monaco's place in PEEPSHOW. It's still a rumor, but there you have it.
Of course, Oscar Goodman was all over the city today as well. It was not only "Bikini Day", but Las Vegas was also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Las Vegas sign.
Oscar showed up at the sign, and in one of the most absurd things he has ever done (and that is really saying something) — in the face of centuries of astronomical observations and scientific conclusions, our Mayor "declared" that May 14th was now the official beginning of Summer.
Take that Galileo.
I'm pretty sure that the Mayor of Las Vegas does not possess the power to change seasons, but I haven't read the full text of the Patriot Act yet. It may very well be buried in there somewhere.
Anyway, all things considered, it was a fine day to be in Las Vegas.
There were a large number of locals-oriented pool parties, drink specials, the mood was festive and there were women in bikinis everywhere. What more could you possibly ask for?
"Shut the hell up, Rex. We didn't click this post to listen to you yap. Make with the pictures already!"

Data handling between combined c - c++ code
I was combining C and C++ codes for a certain application when I came across a peculiar feature. When I return a 'double' from cpp function called inside a c function the double values are not held. Here is a simple example:
File plus.cpp (cpp code)
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Thanks in advance
(PS: Things I cannot do -
1. Compiling C code using C++ compiler. The actual problem is a complex set of functions and libraries and this is not do able.
2. Convert C code to C++ or vice-versa. Same reason as above.
I am just trying to understand how the compilers work and/or reasons this happens.
Re: Data handling between combined c - c++ code
f() is not defined in main.c. So the compiler assumes this is an int with no parameters, i.e. int f(); If you want something other than that then you have to prototype it (as you have done, unnecessarily, in plus.cpp).
You cannot compile C code with a C++ compiler because it is a different language. Use a C compiler. However you can integrate C code with C++ code, in the C++ code you have to declare the functions extern "C" to prevent name mangling.
C++ is a superset of C so converting C to C++ should be fairly easy. There are some significant differences though and you should read up on those before trying. It may be easier to compile the C code with a C compiler, and the C++ code with a C++ compiler, and link the resulting objects together.
Regarding the vice versa, no, obviously this is mostly impossible. C does not support all the object stuff you get in C++ and there are other major differences too. Don't even try.
Re: Data handling between combined c - c++ code
There are probably other things you need to do to make the above code work. Is there any reason why your main is C and plus is C++? If it was the other way round this would be fairly easy to fix. The f() name will most likely be mangled and C won't be able to find it; there is no extern "C++" in C. extern "C" is a C++ specific feature for integrating C code into a C++ program.
What is Name Mangling I hear you cry. C++ supports function overloading, e.g.
double f(double x);
The reason this is a problem when integrating C code into C++ is that C does not support function overloading and knows nothing about name mangling. So the above three declarations will cause errors, and if you remove the 2nd and 3rd leaving double f(double) then this will be compiled (by a C compiler) into a function simply named f (actually _f but don't worry about the underscore). So a C++ program won't find this, because it's looking for f$dbl. So you have to prototype f in the C++ program as:
extern "C" {
But as you've declared f() in the C++ code and want to call it in the C code, this probably won't be fixable. I don't know if you can force f not to be mangled by prototyping it in the C++ code as extern "C" - probably not.

THE RECORDS OF THE LIBRARY in the University Archives
Virginia Union University
September 1997
These records reflect the growth and development of the Library at Virginia Union University. Originally housed in the basement of Coburn Hall, the library was relocated into the Belgian Friendship Building in 1950 and named the William J. Clark Library after the university's third president. In January 1997 the collection moved into the L. Douglas Wilder Library and Learning Resource Center, referred to as the Wilder Library, named in honor of the VUU alumnus, the first elected African American Governor in the United States.
The head librarians have been as follows:
Mr. Wallace Van Jackson 1927-1941
Mr. William A. Griffey 1941-1942
Ms. Ann Goode (acting) 1942-1944
Ms. Bertha W. Gibbs (acting) 1944-1946
Mrs. Verdelle V. Bradley 1946-1985
Mrs. Sylvia Jenkins (acting) 1985-1986
Ms. Wanda Crenshaw 1986-1989
Dr. Vonita Foster 1989-2003
Dr. Delores Z. Pretlow 2003-2012
Ms. Pamela Foreman (Interim) 2012- September 2014
Mr. Tracey Hunter Hayes September 2014-February 2015
Ms. Pamela Foreman (Interim) March 2015-June 2015
Ms. Pamela Foreman July 2015-
The bulk of the collection is the annual reports for which there is a virtually complete run from 1927 through 1992, including semi-annual reports and quarterly reports. The Administrative file contains papers created in the day-to-day business such as limited correspondence, floor plans and library objectives and statistics. The Events file contains announcements for library sponsored events such as guest speakers. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is an accreditation committee on which Mrs. Bradley served.
The James Weldon Johnson Tribute files relate to a display in the library presented in conjunction with the 1972 Fine Arts Festival (AR-004) tribute to Johnson. The correspondence is between Ms. O.J. Okala, nurse to Johnson's widow, and Mrs. Bradley. The display materials are mainly biographical sketches and sheet music (the newspaper clippings have been moved to the Clippings File under Johnson, James Weldon).

The Baltimore Orioles apparently have signed free-agent lefty and recent Brewer Randy Wolf. It didn't take long for Wolf to find a new team. Wolf will be pitching in the AL for the first time, although as of now it's unclear if he's joined Baltimore to fortify a young rotation or to help from the bullpen. The Orioles were among the suspected suitors for Wolf in a post last week.
