Exceptional maintenance & services. Glad I found them! — MARK BOYELI have been maintaining my airplane but JetEXE aviation since 2013. The previous maintenance shop had overlooked many maintenance issues on my airplane and I was not happy with their billing. JetEXE aviation did a thorough inspection of my airplane, found long overdue maintenance issues, AD's and SB's that were not looked into and fixed them to make my airplane perfectly airworthy. Now, I have great peace of mind when I fly my airplane, knowing that everything is in great shape. Augustine, Nathan and Gus are very knowledgeable, skilled and helpful. It doesn't matter what day, time of the day or night you call them for anything , they are there for you. They are meticulous in the maintenance work, customer service and billing. Once the job is done they take the time to explain and educate you on the work done on the airplane and the costs. Their pricing is very reasonable. So far, they have done a great job for me. Keep up the great work JetEXE [King Air B200]
Sold my airplane in 4 weeks "AT THE BEST PRICE" — JAMES McFOLEYI have owned several airplanes in the past 18 years. After trying to sell my Cessna Citation airplane for over a year, using the different websites for advertising, I approached JetEXE aviation to assist me. Nancy, their aircraft sales manager,quickly appraised the market value of the aircraft , clearly understood my expectations and explained to me the market conditions. withing a week she created an excellent sales package and strategy for my aircraft at a very low cost, with high quality brochures both print and digital . I saw my airplane being advertised in every major web-portal, aircraft sales company websites and printed magazines . Within two weeks, I had three buyers making offers for my airplane. I got the highest offer ever from one of Nancy's customers. The sales process was so smooth without a hitch. Without JetEXE aviation's sales team, I would not have been able to sell it so quick ( 4 weeks) and the best price. Thank you JetEXE team. [Seller-Citation Bravo]

My makeup and my life are in desperate need of a little color injection and NARS Dual-Intensity Blush in Panic was the perfect accoutrement to bring my makeup bag back to life. I usually apply 2-3 different blushes most days and I have been wearing lots of neutrals. Let me just say this is a great blush on my brown skin. It gives great color and is perfect for spring. At first glance the colors seem loud. But, with most NARS bright blushes they look phenomenal on most skin tones. Example, Exhibit A. It's a crazy bright orange, but when you put it on it's a stunner. It feels amazing on my skin and I'm happy because today there isn't a windchill below 10 degrees.
The smile on my face is because I know spring is on her way and just this thought brightens my mood. Yesterday I spent the day at a work event, then exploring the city, and finished at the National Gallery of Art for an artist date as per Julia Cameron. It was glorious walking all over the city and being outside. My new blush made it twice as nice. Get this in your arsenal.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - His hat? Kevlar-coated for bulletproofing. His meals? Nibbled by food-tasters first, sampling for poison.
And is it really Saddam Hussein anyway - or one of his many reported doubles, hired to fool would-be assassins?
Contemplating war, Washington has made clear that this time it's personal: The U.S. goal in any attack on Iraq would be getting rid of its leader.
But Saddam is taking elaborate steps against being eliminated - ranging from networks of bunkers, sleeping compartments on wheels, to unusual headgear - according to those who've dealt with him and Western intelligence agencies.
Unseen among his people since December 2000, the Iraqi leader today appears only on television in very secure settings. An armed guard stood next to him during a televised appearance last week before Parliament.
"This talk of changing regimes, this is a dream. If they want to talk about a bullet or anything else, it's just a dream," crowed Parliament member Mohammed Mudhafr al-Adhamy, referring to intermittent U.S. talk of assassination.
Americans have "been trying and trying for 30 years, and they couldn't do anything.
They tried in 1991, and they couldn't do anything," said al-Adhamy.
President Bush's administration has been outspoken in its aim of ridding Iraq of Saddam, at a U.S.-estimated price of $9 billion a month for war - or less.
But countless others before the Bush administration have wanted Saddam gone - official biographies list at least nine assassination and coup attempts against him. Iraq's wily leader has survived them all, and learned lessons.
"You will have to wait in line to get to me. Thousands are ahead of you wanting to kill Saddam Hussein," he is said to have told an Iraqi tribal leader decades ago, talking the desert sheik out of launching a bloody vendetta over a killing blamed on Saddam's family.
Saddam himself has been on both ends of an assassin's gun. In 1959, the 22-year-old Saddam took part in a botched attempt to kill then-military ruler Gen. Abdel Karim Kassem as he drove down Baghdad's main thoroughfare, Al Rashid Street.
Overexcited, Saddam and his accomplices fired wildly.

I am working on a physics problem that involves a bead on roating hoop. You need to use Lagrangians to solve this problem but this is not where i am strugling. My school expects us to use maple because it is the program the provide but none of the teachers know how to usem it (they use mathmatica) so they cant help us. We have the equation: θ"= [ω2*cos(θ)-(g/R)]sin(θ) and the initial cond. θ'(0)=0 and θ(0)=θ0+1° and that ω2=2, g=R=1. We are asked to solve this equation of motion numerically and plot the solution. I have been tryin got teach myslef using google and this website but thought it might be better to post the question myself. My code thus far looks like this
Warning, The use of global variables in numerical ODE problems is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release. Use the 'parameters' argument instead (see ?dsolve,numeric,parameters)
I have tryed subbing in for R and g but i get an error like this: Error, (in f) unable to store HF (some nmber) when datatype=float[8]
Any help would be very much appreciated by myself and my classmates!
Thank you

Martin Jol admits that his fate as Fulham manager could be decided by back-to-back London derbies.
Fulham are away to West Ham United today, sitting in eighteenth place in the Barclays Premier League, with their opponents only one place higher on goal difference. On Wednesday, Jol returns to White Hart Lane to faceTottenham Hotspur, his former club.
The club's supporters have begun to turn on their manager and even Jol admits that he would be concerned if he were Shahid Khan, the Fulham owner. "If I was on the board or an owner I would be worrying," the Dutchman said.

If you're a photographer who uses Canon equipment and has been unable to use the Canon EOS utility after installing OS X Lion, some good news: Canon has issued an update to the tool that allows it to run properly in Apple's latest operating system.
The Canon EOS Utility is an application that allows you to interface your Mac with your digital EOS camera, allowing you to not only transfer images from it and manage them but also remotely operate the camera from your computer using Canon's interface cable.
When OS X Lion was released a number of Canon users found the utility would not work properly, and while you could launch the program using the Terminal to directly open the program's executable file, this was not a practical solution for most people to use.
For months since Lion's release, Canon users who have adopted Apple's new OS have had to find alternatives to the EOS utility, but in late January Canon released an update to the utility that should allow it to work properly in OS X Lion. The update supports OS X 10.6.8 or later, and supports the following Canon camera models:
- EOS REBEL T1i, T2i, T3, T3i, XS, and XSi
- EOS Kiss F, X2, X3, X4, X5, and X50
- EOS 7D, 40D, 50D, 60D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 100D, and 1100D
The update can be downloaded from the EOS Utility 2.10.4 download page for OS X, and requires that prior versions of the EOS utility be present on the system in order to work (it is just an updater and not a full standalone release).
Though this update is available, if you are running an older version of OS X than Snow Leopard 10.6.8, then Canon recommends you do not upgrade and continue to use a version of the EOS utility that is prior to version 2.10.2.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
FOH Field Operations Handbook
Chapter 64 Employment of Workers with Disabilities at Special Minimum Wages under Section 14(c)
Section 64g Issues Requiring Special Attention
Section 64g06: Time Studies and Jobs Paid Piece Rate
- General
- If a prevailing wage survey finds that a piece rate prevails for the kind of work to be performed by the worker with a disability, there would be no need to conduct a time study for that job. The worker with a disability should be paid the same piece rate established by the prevailing wage survey. A piece rate fixes a wage payment on each completed unit of work. When the worker with a disability is to perform a production job, the simplest and most objective method of payment is by piece rate.
- If the prevailing wage survey indicates that an hourly rate prevails for the kind of work performed by the worker who does not have a disability, and the section 14(c) employer wishes to pay a piece rate, time studies would be required to convert the hourly rate to a piece rate. See FOH 64g07 and 64j for guidance on computing hourly commensurate wage rates.
- Time studies.
- In order to compute a commensurate wage rate, employers must determine how long it takes the "standard setter" (the average, experienced worker who does not have a disability) to perform the job. This is normally done by conducting time studies.
- Time studies are normally conducted using staff members of the facility (individuals without disabilities for the work) who have been given sufficient time to practice and prepare.
- WH does not require facilities to use one specific work measurement method, nor does WH prescribe the format or length of the time study. However, the facility must demonstrate to WH that the method is generally accepted by industrial engineers and that it was done accurately (see Regulations 29 CFR Part 525.12(h)(1)). There are several acceptable methods that an employer may use for establishing piece rates. Any time study method used to establish piece rates must be verifiable. This section (FOH 64g06) contains procedures that workshops typically follow in conducting stop watch time studies. These may be used by an INV to verify the results of an existing time study or to conduct a confirming time study.
- The methods used to establish the average hourly production of the standard setter may range from relatively simple techniques involving rudimentary counting of job samples over a fixed period of time, to sophisticated industrial engineering techniques like MTM and MODAPTS, discussed above. An example of one method that is acceptable to WH is a 25 minute stop watch time study observing three workers who do not have disabilities.
- During investigations, INVs will normally conduct (or oversee the employer conduct) time studies, either to verify the accuracy of the employer's time studies or because the employer has failed to conduct the necessary studies.
- See FOH 64i00(c) for a detailed description on how to conduct time studies.
- Criteria for accurate time studies.
- As mentioned, the productivity of workers who do not have disabilities is measured by time studies.
- The performance of the individual being time studied should represent a normal productivity level. The standard setter should not work, or be encouraged to work, so fast that he or she could not maintain that pace over a work shift. If the standard setter's performance is above or below normal performance levels, adjustments (or "leveling") may be done to compensate, but only by someone knowledgeable in this technique, as evidenced by successful completion of training in this area (see Regulations 29 CFR Part 525.12(h)(2)(i)).
- The subject of the time study should be permitted to practice the work until he or she is comfortable and can perform without hesitation. Employers wishing to establish piece rates are required by Regulations 29 CFR Part 525.12(h)(2)(ii) to make an allowance for personal time, fatigue, and unavoidable delays (PF&D). This allowance is discussed in FOH 64i01.
- Subjects being time studied should use the same work methods as those used by the majority of workers with disabilities.
- The INV may find that job modifications, such as the use of jigs and fixtures, have been made to accommodate the special needs of a worker. If these modifications increase the productivity of the worker with a disability, but would impede a worker without a disability, no additional time studies are required (see Regulations 29 CFR Part 525.12(h)(2)(iii)).
- However, an additional time study will be required when entirely different methods of production are used (as opposed to the modification of the existing method), or when a worker does not have access to certain equipment.
Example: An employer has five production machines and 10 full-time employees who have disabilities that adversely impact the work being performed. If the production standard was established using machines, an additional time study is required because at least five of the workers must perform the job manually at any given time. Producing materials by hand is a completely different production method than producing materials by machine.
- The time study should include all operations of the job to be performed by the worker with a disability, such as set-up activities, packaging, counting, boxing, and irregular operations like retrieving supplies.
- When employees work on a contract, they must use the same methods and materials that were used during the time study. Any change would require another time study.
- If the time study method used by the facility appears to be unsound, the facility should redo the time study with INV oversight to demonstrate to WH that the method was accurate. For example, if a facility used a 10-minute time study and the pace of work maintained during the time study, when contrasted with the pace of workers "on the floor" appears unrealistic and unsustainable throughout the workday, the facility must redo the time study. The duration of the new study would have to be long enough to demonstrate that the pace of the 10-minute study could be maintained for an entire work shift.
- As mentioned, the productivity of workers who do not have disabilities is measured by time studies.
- There are certain distinct differences in the time study procedures depending on whether the employer wishes to pay a piece rate or an hourly
rate to the worker with a disability. The procedures to follow for time studies are explained in detail in FOH 64i for
piece rates and FOH 64j for hourly wages. Some of the similarities and differences between the two types of time studies
are discussed below:
- Similarities.
- Both require an accurate description of the work to be performed, including a task analysis detailing the method(s) actually used by employees when performing the job, the materials and any equipment required.
- Both require the selection of an individual who does not have a disability for the work to be performed (the standard setter) who is familiar with the work and capable of maintaining a consistent, efficient pace.
- Both require that a time study be conducted of the individuals who do not have disabilities for the task performing the same tasks that the worker with a disability will be employed to perform.
- Both require consideration of quantity and quality of production.
- Differences
- Who is time studied and who is evaluated:
Piece rate:
Time study the worker who does not have a disability to set piece rate for workers with disabilities. The worker with a disability is not observed/evaluated.
Hourly rate:
Time study the worker who does not have a disability to establish the standard against which the worker with a disability is then observed/evaluated.
- PF&D consideration:
Piece rate:
Required when setting piece rate.
Hourly rate:
Not required when setting hourly rate, but INV may encounter situations where employer includes a PF&D when determining hourly commensurate wages. If PF&D is used in the evaluation of the worker with a disability, it must also be used when conducting the time study of the standard setter(s). It is important to remember that evaluations are not to be conducted if the worker is fatigued or subject to conditions that would lower productivity.
- Quality of work:
Piece rate:
Quality standards - determining what is an acceptable, non-defective product - are established prior to conducting the time study. The standards setter (during the time study) and the worker with a disability (during actual production) must be held to the same standards of quality/product acceptance.
Hourly rate:
Employers must hold both the standard setter and the worker with a disability to the same standard of quality. Counting rework time the same for both is one way of doing this provided the same methodology is used for both. Otherwise quality must be considered separately. Methods that employers have used to do this are the inclusion of "rework" (see FOH 64j02(b)(1)) and the 90/10 rating (see FOH 64j02(b)(2)).
- Who is time studied and who is evaluated:
- To determine the adequacy of the time study methodology used by a facility under investigation, the INV should conduct (or observe the employer conduct) confirming time studies on two or three of the facility's larger on-going contracts (also, see FOH 64i00(d)(4) below).
- Indicators of an accurate piece-rate commensurate wage rate:
- One way to test the accuracy of an employer's commensurate wage rate is to multiply the employer's piece rate by the standard setter's expected
productivity. This must equal at least the prevailing wage. Note that WH will not normally question computations that are carried out to the fifth decimal point and then rounded up to four decimal places. The employer could, of course round up (but not merely round off) sooner. For example, .04874 should be rounded to .0488 or .05. The reason for this practice is demonstrated in the following example:
- The prevailing wage rate (PWR) is $6.65.
- The standard setter produces 324 units in a 50-minute hour (this takes into account an adequate PF&D allowance as required by Regulations 29 CFR Part 525.12(h)(2)(ii) and FOH 64i01). Note: any partially completed units produced during the time study are not included when computing the standard. Only whole, completed units are counted.
- $6.65 divided by 324 equals .0205246 per piece.
- This piece rate is rounded up at the fourth decimal, to a rate of .0206 per piece.
- The piece rate (.0206) is then multiplied by 324 units per hour to obtain the hourly rate of $6.6744, a rate which is not less that the prevailing wage of $6.65.
- However, consider the consequence to the worker with a disability if the employer had not carried the piece rate to at least five decimals and then rounded up at the fourth decimal. For example, if the above employer had rounded the rate to .02 per piece, the resulting hourly rate would have been approximately 17 cents below the prevailing wage of $6.65 (.02 per piece times 324 units per hour equals only $6.48 per hour). This means the worker with the disability would have to perform better than the worker who does not have a disability in order to earn the same prevailing wage.
- Thus the differences in rounding procedures, which to some employers seem so unimportant, actually have a significant effect on the wages of the worker with a disability. The worker who has a disability for the job being performed may be paid the exact commensurate wage or may be paid more than the commensurate wage - but may not be paid less than the commensurate wage. By carrying the piece rate out to the fifth decimal and then rounding up, the employer ensures the worker being paid the SMW receives at least the required commensurate wage.
- Note: Numbers displayed on a computer screen may not reflect actual amounts used by the computer in making calculations. Calculations done on spreadsheets should be verified by calculator computations using 5 decimal places and then rounding up to 4 decimal places. The employer has the burden of paying not less than the commensurate wage and must demonstrate by obvious calculation that he or she has done so.
- Another indicator of an accurate piece rate would be when the number of units the standard-setter has to produce (at the established piece rate) to earn the prevailing wage represents a reasonable amount - not an unrealistic expectation.
- A third indicator of an accurate piece rate would be when piece rates have been increased in the past year on contracts that have been continuously worked and are older than one year. This most likely indicates that the annual prevailing wage review has been conducted and proper piece rate adjustments have been made.
- Finally, an indicator of an accurate piece rate would be when an adequate PF&D allowance was incorporated into the time study used to establish piece rates.
- One way to test the accuracy of an employer's commensurate wage rate is to multiply the employer's piece rate by the standard setter's expected productivity. This must equal at least the prevailing wage. Note that WH will not normally question computations that are carried out to the fifth decimal point and then rounded up to four decimal places. The employer could, of course round up (but not merely round off) sooner. For example, .04874 should be rounded to .0488 or .05. The reason for this practice is demonstrated in the following example:
- More detailed information on PF&D allowances and the conducting of time studies when an employer wishes to pay workers with disabilities a piece rate may be found in FOH 64i.

U2 founding member and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. is about to have a big-screen moment. The musician stars opposite Donald Sutherland in a remake of the 2002 French thriller 'The Man on the Train.' Tribeca Films has provided Moviefone with the first trailer for 'Man on the Train,' which features Mullen as a shady criminal and Sutherland as the poetry teacher he forms a bond with. Watch ahead.
The official synopsis, via Tribeca Films:
The English-language remake of Patrice Leconte's award-winning French film of the same name, Man on the Train stars Donald Sutherland and musician Larry Mullen, Jr. in his acting debut.Look for 'The Man on a Train' on VOD platforms nationwide on Oct. 28 with a limited theatrical release to follow.
A mysterious criminal (Mullen Jr.) rolls into a small town planning to knock off the local bank, assuming it will go off without a hitch. But when he encounters a retired poetry professor (Sutherland), his plans take an unlikely turn. With no place to stay, the professor generously welcomes him into his home. As the two men talk, a bond forms between these two polar opposites, and surprising moments of humor and compassion emerge. As they begin to understand each other more, they each examine the choices they've made in their lives, secretly longing to live the type of lifestyle the other man has lived, based on the desire to escape their own.
The Man on the Train
A professor and a secretive traveler he invited into his home become envious of each other's lives. Read More

It was, in some ways, the biggest win in the program's history. But that could change by tonight, just four days after it happened.
The Haddonfield boys' swim team, which won Division B state titles as a coed team in 2000 and '01, knocked off Division A and South Jersey power Cherry Hill East, 101-85, on Tuesday night.
The victory clinched at least a tie for the South Jersey Swim League Pacific Division title and established Haddonfield as one of the two best teams in South Jersey. St. Augustine, which on Jan. 23 handed East its first loss in South Jersey since 1999, is the other top team.

[QUOTE=Annieh;1111900]Welcome Sugar, it's great that you've jumped straight in to strictly primal and exercising as well. I'm sure you'll get great results this way, whether you count or not. I have never found it necessary. Don't let yourself get confused by over thinking this, just eat real food, move around some, and you'll soon be feeling (and looking) miles better. All the best.[/QUOTE]
Yes at least just get used to this lifestyle first, and the weight will come off. It is important to just eat when hungry, and stop when not.
Once you have been doing it for a while, then maybe worry about counting if you think you need to. Forget all the numbers right now :)

Job Hunting for Dummies (2nd edition)by Max Messmer
Max Messmer's mother once told him to start pulling his own weight and get a job. So at age 11, he began making ladies' hand-crafted bracelets. He sold scores of them to her friends, neighbors, students, and even teachers. He enjoyed selling them so much it created a stir at school and took him away from his studies. His mom then put him out of business, forcing him back to basic homework. He learned something, though. Nothing happens until you make a sale. The job hunting process is no exception. No one will know your capabilities until you become an expert at selling them. (And if you saw these bracelets today, you'd know what a sales job it was, he says.) Inability to sell one's skills is one of the most frequent failings of job candidates, according to Messmer. Today, Max Messmer is chairman and CEO of Robert Half International Inc. (RHI), the world's largest specialized staffing firm, and one of the foremost experts on job searching and career management. If you've lost your job, remember that you are not alone. Most people have been let go more than once in their career. It no longer carries the stigma it once did, especially with the series of mergers and downsizings that have transformed today's workplace. In the grand scheme of things, this time will be relatively short. Best of luck in your search! - Max Messmer P. S. As for the reference to Dummies, I think we all know that the only dumb question is the one that's never asked. So you deserve praise for taking charge of your career and seeking answers!

My girlfriend is an avid sushi eater. I used to love a good roll of sushi, but since going primal a few years ago I can't seem to stomach the rice any longer. It gives me a bit of a stomach ache, which lead me to question the tertiary contents of rice.
With that being said, I have read that for the most part white rice is basically an inert food. Not truly containing a large amount of nutrition, and ultimately acting as a starchy, fibrous filler. With that being considered, has anyone read or heard about white rice containing Amylopectin A, Mycotoxins, or Alfatoxins like found in many other grains and lentils.
I haven't found any evidence of this but, with corn being such a ripe breading ground for mycotoxin I find it hard to believe that white rice's storage and handling to be so far removed from that of corn.
If anyone has heard about similar contamination in rice, I would be interested to read through the original material.
Thank you!

It's 9:45 on a cold, wintery Wednesday morning at Denison. And as it is every Wednesday, Slayter Hall, the campus student union, is swaying to the rhythm of bluegrass. The music is emanating from the lower level of the snack bar area that has affectionately been called "the pit" since the building's construction 50 years ago.
A group of a dozen or so musicians forms a circle, each cradling a fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass, or autoharp. One gentleman is gently tapping a Djembe drum. Most of them are singing; and everyone's having good fun.
And a number of fans are there, as well—mostly spouses and friends. They, too, sing along on a few of the tunes like the World War I-era "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," and some are even moved to get up and do a bit of impromptu dancing.
Made up of people who live in nearby communities, the loosely bound group began playing together at Denison 22 years ago. On this Wednesday, one of the founders, 89-year-old Bob Kunkle, is there playing his fiddle. The music swings from bluegrass to country to gospel and back again, and each musician, in turn, picks his or her favorite number. The others join in immediately.
One of the favorite soloists is nine-year-old Addy Hiltner, playing her half-size fiddle. A student of Denison music professor Andy Carlson, Addy plays the "Yellow Rose Waltz" and "Chestnut Waltz," earning enthusiastic applause from everyone. Addy's older brother Justin is a sophomore at Denison majoring in music. He played banjo with the group when he was younger.
On one of the walls of the pit hangs a handsome tribute to the musicians and their music. It's a painting by alumnus Allen Schwartz '70, titled "Empty Chair at the Jam Session," that was a gift from English Professor Emeritus Bill Nichols and his wife Nancy. The painting marks the group's place in Slayter and in the life of the college. After all, this delightful tradition has existed for decades.
Thanks, folks, for the tunes and for the down-home ambiance. See you next Wednesday.

Local produce and meat is rarely ever 'inexpensive', but it's worth it (and if you intermittent fast, then you won't need to eat so much... ) Check out farmers markets and ask around about co-op ordering. There are also farmers from who you can buy 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 or a whole cow or pig, which you can pick up after slaughter and butchering. Good luck!
Which State and area do you live in? People will probably be able to give you more exact suggestions if they know.

Her happiness at photographing snapshots of Princes William and Harry at a polo match last weekend was there for all to see – as was the sight of her shrieking at her royal encounter.
"I think I may have shouted because I was so happy," a modest Andrea Rubio, 14, told the local Gloucestershire newspaper after her antics made people smile around the world.
"I knew Princes Harry and William were going to be there but I never thought I would get near them, let alone speak to them," she said. "Prince Harry is my favorite – I think he is really hot."
Rubio, from Guadalajara, Mexico, is in the U.K. attending school at Westonbirt, close to the Beaufort polo grounds where the princes were playing Sunday.
The paper said she politely asked the princes if she could take their picture. "They both laughed and said yes. I couldn't believe it," she said.
She has now sent the shot to her friends back home in Mexico – where her mother had something to say about what happened.
"When my mum found out what had happened she said she was glad that I had been polite and asked the princes if I could take a photo," said the teen.

This is actually a very nice Jr. Folio and a great intro to the Circa system- However I mistakenly assumed it was the same size as the discontinued Jr. Soft folio I desperately desire in Black. The difference is in 1) the overall size and 2) the little pockets on the inside.....if only the stitching was a bit more to the right on the first small pocket it would accommodate the lovely 3X5 cards I use from Levengers. This feature is one of the things I LOVE about the Jr. Softfolio.... but alas I was so disappointed...The larger size I noted first is also a bit of a disappointment but not as much as the lack of a special spot for my new Levenger 3X5 cards.....In the end I decided to keep it, but feel like I am settling for something I really do not want... ugh! I know I am not the only one who has asked you to bring back the JR. Soft Folio... please consider this request again.

Beautiful Leather Folio
By HiGeorge
from Denver, CO
Comments about Levenger Circa Softolio:
The Circa Softolio is absolutely beautiful. The leather is buttery soft and it looks very professional. The pockets are great and hold many items. I use them to hold my monthly bills, checkbook, sticky notes, work items and tablet which is made possible by the floppy gorgeousness of the leather cover. I inserted a circa planner with 1.5" circa discs in this folio and, although it is a bit stuffed, it still looks great. I hope that Levenger brings back the sold out colors in the junior size, as well as come out with new, softer colors for spring and summer (I would buy them all). I would also love a softolio that can accommodate even larger sized discs. I have a couple of Filofaxes and some Franklin Coveys and I still love them, but I had gotten tired of opening and closing the rings in these binders. The Levenger Circa system is the easiest to customize and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is my third soft folio purchase from levenger; which I think speaks for the product itself! I love mine so much I have ordered them for the new additions to our work team. We rely heavily on a planner/calendar and this product along with the master agenda notebook is a complete coordinators package. Thank you for a quality product. I look forward to additional creative components from levenger.

The Color is the thing!
By Jack
from Omaha
The color is wonderful. Stands alone at a meeting. Expansive enough to claim space at a table. The versatility of this folio is in its "floppy" nature. I keep a minimum of items in the pockets, allowing the front to be folded back if I need to tuck in a little. The high quality of the leather is a joy. Among my several Levenger folios, this is the one I prefer to take with me when meeting with colleagues.
A well-made product
By ct
from NY
This is a good folio. I bought the junior size because I read that the full size is very large (~1.5 inches extra around the 8.5x11). Junior size works well for me as a master planner notebook that is always around that can then feed content into other notebooks as needed.I do wish that the small pockets could fit 3x5 cards. Both pockets are just slightly too small. It might be good to move the stitching a bit so that one pocket can fit business cards and the other can fit 3x5 cards. The pen loops are quite nice because they can stretch to accommodate varying-width pens. The notebook stays secure in the folio using Levenger's vanilla junior-sized notebook cover, and I don't worry about it falling out. The overall product feels nice to carry.

Not too happy with this product.
By Pam
from Birmingham, AL
Wish I had read more of the reviews more closely. This product is nice but much more flimsy than I thought it would be. Just disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Perfect Circa Folio - Do not recommend monogramming.
By Boston
from Boston, MA
I love this folio. It is the perfect cover for my circa notebook. The leather looks and feels great! Love it so much, I just ordered the letter size for work. The only thing I was disappointed about was the engraving. I had my full name engraved on the junior size. It arrived with the engraving very faintly done. Now, less than a year later, I can no longer see that it was engraved. Perhaps the texture of the leather does not hold the imprint well. Recommend this product, hands down, just perhaps not great if your looking for a folio to engrave.
Wishful Thinking
By BlueMcElroy
from Dallas,TX
I love the Circa system. I love the overall design of the softolio but I wish it came in more colors. Specifically lighter colors like cream or teal. I wish the folio for my planner was a versatile as the planner I keep it in.
Great Looking and Professional
By Dorothy
from Atlanta, GA
I bought the Red letter size. Soft sturdy and an attention getting. Receive comments on how great it looks. Only feedback is to forget adding your initials or name. It doesn't show up!

Your Take: Company "Wellness" Too Invasive?
|Email Print
The first company I worked for had a dedicated department, of maybe two or three employees, focused entirely on "employee wellness." They offered services like body fat analysis but didn't go as far as this company in requiring them. Personally, I think the motivations are good but I can see how people would think that's invasive.
My company didn't require you to participate in their programs but they did provide incentives for doing so. The medical insurance provider was called Lumenos and they offered a program in which you were given $1,500 a year to cover your medical costs. If you didn't use the funds, it was rolled over into the next year. If you did and your costs exceeded $1,500, you covered the costs up to $2,000 (an additional $500), and then traditional health insurance would kick in (10% co-pays, etc.) beyond $2,000. It worked fantastically well for young professionals who, in general, have little in the way of medical costs. They incentivized participation in wellness programs by offering medical coverage money. Fill out a health survey and get $20. Participate in this program, get $25. It wasn't required, you didn't really get "paid," but it boosted participation and got people thinking about wellness.
I think requiring it would've caused a backlash.
Either way, wellness programs are boosting the bottom lines at businesses by cutting medical costs. Everyone knows preventative care is cheaper than treating illnesses or conditions on the other end, everyone including prescription drug and treatment companies (fire away!). This was the topic of a Marketplace segment a couple weeks ago and they found that at Gilsbar, costs are lowered when you introduce preventative care measures. Here's a quote from the segment:
Doug Layman (executive VP at Gilsbar): Our health plan costs are 6 percent lower than they were five years ago. Our prescription drug costs, which everybody complains about, is 45 percent lower than they were five years ago. And 85 percent say their benefits package is better today than it was five years ago. Yet we're paying less, and we have happier, more productive people.
That's one of the reasons why countries with nationally subsidized health care programs pay far less than we do – preventing something is cheaper than curing something. It's a big joke that Americans pay the most for health care yet don't find themselves with the best care (in fairness, I've heard the argument against that is that our best of the best is far superior to other countries but the "average" care received any one member of the population is below other countries).
Getting back to the wellness programs, does your company offer something like this? If so, do they require anything or is everything optional? What would you think about being forced to do a body fat analysis? What if you had to pay more based on the status of your health?{ 7 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

Despite outshooting their opponents, the Grafton/Port Washington Ice Hawks lost three games last weekend, as well as another hockey player for the season.In a four-team, round-robin tournament the Hawks hosted at the Ozaukee Ice Center, they fell to Eau Claire North, 5-3, on Friday; to Viroqua, 11-3, on Saturday; and to Greendale, 12-1, on Sunday.All that came even though Grafton/Port posted a cumulative shot advantage, 98-83.The Hawks' best chance to win was Friday when they took the ice with energy and aggressive defense.Grafton/Port fell behind, 3-0, but rallied. Senior forward Tim Grams led the comeback with a hat trick, assisted by Nate Perez, Bryce Fisk and Bubba Holzer.The Hawks trailed, 3-1, before blistering the net with 25 shots in the third period. Although they scored twice in the period, North matched that effort.
An athletic opponent with a strong inside game didn't provide a favorable matchup for the Cedar Grove-Belgium boys' basketball team in its season opener Nov. 15.Powered by the front-line play of Andrew Duening, West Bend West rolled to a 72-44 nonconference win over the host Rockets.Duening scored a game-high 30 points for the Spartans, who raced to a 20-7 lead after one quarter and continued to pull away until the final period."We've got a ways to go," Cedar Grove-Belgium coach Jim Meinen said."West Bend is a very athletic and strong inside. We have an entirely new system, and it's going to take us a little while to learn things."West took control quickly with the low-post work of Duening, a 6-foot-6 junior. The Spartans also got 12 points from forward Jacob Duening, Andrew's twin brother."He is a very nice player with nice moves," Meinen said of Andrew Duening. "We thought he would give us some trouble inside, and he did."One of our concerns coming into the season was our interior post presence. It's something we have to work on."The Rockets, who are rebuilding after losing most their top players from last season to graduation, trailed, 38-18, at halftime.
It didn't take long for members of the Grafton girls' basketball team to make a good impression on their new coach."They're a very, very hard-working group of kids, very coachable," said Steve Reinhardt, who has started his first season at the varsity helm with the Black Hawks."I really like their ability to work together and teach each other. They have great intensity in practice."Reinhardt knows a few things about basketball and how it should be played. He has a tough act to follow at Grafton, succeeding longtime coach Bob Maronde, who stepped down after 19 seasons, two state championships and six conference titles to take over the school's boys' basketball program.However, Reinhardt won eight league championships in 18 years with the Slinger girls' team before spending last season coaching a Brown Deer squad that went 10-14 with no seniors.

Down with HFT, its time for the real investors to reject firms that use this technology and I will move my accounts to the first major Market Trader (etrade, ameritrade, scottrade, ect) that speaks out openly against this practice. Since Congress and the SEC refuse to take action, the investors must do the right thing.
Ouch! A little issue with software quality.
HFT is just legalized cheating. Its not better than allowing congress to do insider trading. You have these algorithms calculating trades to skim pennies off of trades, and in such high volumes they make millions off the thinnest margin. It happens in the blink of an eye, which disadvantages us who sit there trying to make a decision while the price fluctuates drastically through out the day.
Not to change the course of the thread, but yes, these algorithms which we all think are so 'fancy' are quite amateurish in reality. I have seen the 'guts' and your jaw would just drop if you saw how naive they are. What is even more shocking is that for all of their supposed 'sophistication' they have no internal circuit breakers'. That alone is remarkably shocking, and points to how poorly designed they really are. Basically, they don't even have an 'off' switch in simple terms.
To those who complain about HFT probably do not remember the days when the specialist made the markets and the bid ask spread was in 1/8s. Talk about skimming off the top. As long as you use limit orders and no stops the HFT cannot hurt you. They can actually make you a lot of money. Volatility is how you make money off of stocks. Buy low sell high or sell high and buy low.
This is not any different than building a chemical plant and you go to turn it on and it doesn't work. Even in today's world it happens -- the fund I worked for was involved in $300 million new build chemical plant that just wouldn't work. Never produced a usable drop. It was sold for scrap value to some company that specialized in that sort of thing. Thankfully I was not the analyst involved in that deal.
Yes but if a chemical company goes bankrupt, not much impact. If a big bank ends up going bankrupt from this type of activity, the government will probably bail them out which I have to pay for. And what is the value to the average person of HFT - provides liquidity? Not a very clear payoff considering most people never even buy a stock directly. But if some financial disaster arises from it, they will end up paying for it.

Non-Cancerous (Benign) Breast Conditions
Non-cancerous breast conditions are very common. Further, most breast changes that are biopsied and viewed under a microscope produce benign results.
Although benign breast conditions are not life-threatening, they may cause bothersome symptoms and are occasionally associated with a higher risk of developing breast cancer in the future. Management of such findings should be directed by your primary health care provider.
Fibrocystic changes (FCCs), a term used by physicians, describe a number of non-cancerous conditions occurring in the breast. These conditions are found in the breast as lumps or masses that often change with the menstrual cycle and may be accompanied by pain and tenderness. Previously, the term "fibrocystic disease" was used to describe the process and was falsely implicated as a risk factor for breast cancer. However, at least 50 percent of all women have lumpy, irregular-feeling breasts. These changes are a normal response to the hormonal stimulation of the breast tissue and do not represent a "disease" process. The term fibrocystic change is commonly applied to any change that is not cancerous. Because there is no exact clinical definition, ask your physician precisely what types of changes have been found in your breast tissue if you receive the diagnosis of fibrocystic changes.
Pain in the breast is referred to as mastalgia or mastodynia. Pain may be characterized as cyclic or noncyclic. Your health care provider's examination and a mammogram can most often determine the cause of the pain. Breast pain may be uncomfortable and annoying, but it is rarely caused by cancer. Most pain is due to hormonal or benign breast conditions. In studies of women diagnosed with breast cancer, less than 10 percent had any pain. Pain with breast cancer is characterized by focal constant discomfort (pain in one area independent of palpation). However, all breast pain needs evaluation to determine its cause.
Breast discharge is a common complaint with three possible causes: 1) a hormonal imbalance, 2) a response to medications, or 3) a lesion or diseased breast. Studies have shown that nipple discharge can be found in 50 to 80 percent of women with no disease being present. Most women have a small amount of discharge when their breasts are squeezed. This is normal, but all discharge needs to be evaluated by your health care provider to determine the primary cause.
Duct Ectasia is a benign condition that occurs most frequently around the time of menopause. The large ducts near the nipples enlarge and become filled with cellular waste that accumulates or is blocked in the duct. The nipple may discharge gray or greenish fluid. Antibiotics usually relieve the condition.
Mastitis is a condition of inflammation or infection of the breast. It occurs when bacteria enter the ducts through an open area of the nipple. The bacteria move to the ducts and begin to grow in the milk. The breast becomes swollen, tender and warm. Breastfeeding women are most likely to develop mastitis, but the condition can occur in women who are not lactating (producing milk) and rarely in men. Your health care provider should be notified at the first sign of any symptoms.
Hyperplasia is an overgrowth of the cells within the breast that line either the ducts or the lobules. Hyperplasia is classified as mild (no increased risk of breast cancer), usual (slightly higher risk of breast cancer), or atypical (4 to 5 times greater risk of developing breast cancer).
Hyperplasia is generally diagnosed through biopsy. A diagnosis of hyperplasia (particularly atypical hyperplasia) may require more frequent breast exams and mammograms, as it is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer in the future. In some cases, breast MRI scans may be recommended along with screening mammograms. Management of such findings should be directed by your primary health care provider.
In adenosis, the breast lobules are enlarged and contain more glands than usual. If several enlarged lobules are within close proximity, they may be large enough to be felt as a mass or nodule. However, a biopsy is usually necessary to confirm adenosis, as the lumps are difficult to distinguish from cancer during a breast exam.
Breast cysts are a common, benign finding found in women 25 to 50 years of age. Cysts are most likely to occur during the years right before menopause. Cysts may vary in size, ranging from microscopic (microcyst) to large (macrocyst). Cysts tend to occur in both breasts, with more than one cyst appearing in each breast and with a combination of both microcysts and macrocysts. The cysts fill with fluid and often develop quickly into large lumps that can be felt. They range from spongy-soft to firm in consistency. The outside surface feels smooth, and is usually round or oval in shape. When feeling the cyst, it will move freely in the breast, as if it could slip from under your fingers. When cysts are identified by touch or mammography, they are often confirmed by ultrasound.
Papillomas are benign, usually tiny, wart-like growths found in the large ducts of the breast near the nipple area. They may occur as a single growth or in groups. Often, a bloody discharge is seen coming from one nipple and not the other. These most often appear in women 35 to 50 years of age and are usually painless. If multiple papillomas come together to form a mass, they may cause pain.
Fibroadenomas are benign tumors most commonly found in women 20 to 40 years old. The use of birth control pills before age 20 may increase a woman's risk of fibroadenomas. Fibroadenomas tend to be round and firm, and may feel like a marble within the breast.
Most fibroadenomas are simple, meaning they are uniform when viewed under a microscope, and they do not increase the risk of breast cancer. However, complex fibroadenomas carry a slightly increased risk of breast cancer.
Many doctors recommend the removal of fibroadenomas, especially if they are growing. For women with multiple fibroadenomas that are not growing, a better option may be to carefully monitor the situation, since full removal can potentially change the shape and size of the breast. It is important for women with fibroadenomas to have breast exams regularly.

Clinical and Histological Effect of a Low Glycaemic Load Diet in Treatment of Acne Vulgaris in Korean Patients: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
doi: 10.2340/00015555-1346
Recent studies have suggested that dietary factors, specifically glycaemic load, may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and histological effects on acne lesions of a low glycaemic load diet. A total of 32 patients with mild to moderate acne were randomly assigned to either a low glycaemic load diet or a control group diet, and completed a 10-week, parallel dietary intervention trial. Results indicate successful lowering of the glycaemic load. Subjects within the low glycaemic group demonstrated significant clinical improvement in the number of both non-inflammatory and inflammatory acne lesions. Histopathological examination of skin samples revealed several characteristics, including reduced size of sebaceous glands, decreased inflammation, and reduced expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1, and interleukin-8 in the low glycaemic load group. A reduction in glycaemic load of the diet for 10 weeks resulted in improvements in acne.

WELLSVILLE - Prayers of thanks and celebrations filled social media late Sunday night, as word spread that an acceptable liver donor match had been found for Chelsea Lingenfelter, the 21-year-old Wellsville woman who was the subject of a large prayer gathering the previous evening at Wellsville First Christian Church.
She went into surgery shortly after 10 a.m. with a wave of high hopes behind her.
Those same channels delivered a crushing blow to village residents and other well-wishers Monday night, however.
Steve Logston, boyfriend of Chelsea's mother Joni Lingenfelter, posted a message on Facebook shortly after 9:30 p.m., announcing that Chelsea had died during surgery. It stated: "To all our friends and supporters who have given so much in prayer, gifts and time, we are eternally saddened to let everyone know that today 2-18-13 at 2:43 p.m., Chelsea went to be with all the other angels in Jesus's heaven. She will forever be the bond for Joni Rodgers Lingenfelter and I here on Earth."
The message was later posted to Joni Lingenfelter's page.
"We all knew that this could happen," said Lew Shepherd, a family friend who created the "A Liver for Chelsea" web page in support of the family. "But we were all just so caught up and happy that she had finally gotten a donor."
Medical details were unavailable at press time, but Shepherd believes that the 12-month wait was too lengthy for Chelsea in her weakened condition. "This liver came along just a little too late," he said.
Addressing the long period without any updates following Chelsea's surgery, Shepherd amended the old saying about no news equaling good news. "No news can also mean that you can't even speak," he said.
Laurie Baumgartner, who has been instrumental in the Team Chelsea effort to raise money and awareness for the Lingenfelter family, says that a petition to approve an "Organ Donation Awareness Day" in Chelsea's honor at Wellsville Council's meeting this evening will go through as planned.
Baumgartner said that Chelsea's death puts a spotlight on the lengthy wait that too many families endure and the terrible price that some, like Chelsea's, must pay. "It just went on too long," Baumgartner said. "Maybe if we can get it out there, it won't happen again."

Advaxis, Inc. (ADXS) And The Long Fight Against Cancer 1 commentFeb 26, 2013 2:13 PM | about stocks: ADXS
Few things in medical history have been so frustrating as the seemingly endless war against cancer. Huge amounts of money, together with some of the best minds in the world, have been pitted against the disease (actually diseases, since there are many types of cancer with fundamentally different characteristics), and yet progress, though undeniable, has been maddeningly slow. Now, almost suddenly, there are serious indications that it's a new ballgame, and that cancer has a rapidly dimming future.
Advaxis, a New Jersey based biotechnology company developing the latest drugs for various cancers and infectious diseases, is helping to lead the charge in what could become one of the biggest developments in modern medicine, immunotherapy. Unlike chemotherapy, which uses chemical poisons to kill cancer cells, poisons which are indiscriminate enough to kill many healthy cells as well, immunotherapy uses advanced biological technologies to manipulate the body's natural immune system, making it able to both identify and attack cancer or other diseased cells with minimal damage to healthy cells.
It's an exciting idea that has been around for a long time, but only now have the technologies developed to the point that proven drugs are starting to be released. It's the first dribble in what could soon become a flood, as the various issues common to any new medical technology are finally worked out. The initial industry bumps in the road are rapidly being smoothed, and government approvals are finally being awarded. Why so long?
The answer is that, in order to attack cancer, it required a totally new in-depth understanding of, and ability to deal with, the internal workings of the human cell. Without this understanding, treatments could consist only of roughly tuned attacks on masses of cells that often resulted in the death of many healthy cells while many cancer cells remained alive to grow back later. This new understanding has taken decades of trial and error work to put together, time during which real treatments were not forthcoming. An entire industry of technologies had to first be developed to lay the foundation upon which modern therapies, like immunotherapy, are built. Now, at last, the final stages are being constructed, and new therapies are coming to the front. Work remains, but, thanks to companies like Advaxis, the long fight against cancer is finally turning.

Applications are being accepted for the 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, event. Goyette employees inspect furnaces and have fixed items in the past ranging from broken gas valves to hot water heater replacements.
More than 100 residents have been helped with repairs since the program, an idea springing from discussions between Curt LaLonde, vice president of service for Goyette, and an employee who'd done a similar project at Ferris State University.
LaLonde brought the idea to Vaughn Smith, a Burton City Council member, during a Rotary Club meeting and the project launched.
Applicants for the project must meet the following requirements:
- Must be a Burton resident.
- Must own their home.
- Must be current on property taxes.
- Must be in a financial hardship, with an emphasis on senior residents or the newly unemployed.
"This is to help people who are on a fixed income, newly unemployed, families with seniors that don't have the money to get their furnace going," he said.
Applications must be turned in to Burton City Hall by 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5 to be accepted. Homeowners chosen to participate in the project will be notified one week before the event, said Smith, and will also receive a fire detector the day of the event.
Residents may pick up applications at Burton City Hall, 4303 S. Center
Road; Burton Senior Center, 3410 S. Grand Traverse St.; or the Burton
Chamber of Commerce website at www.burtonchamber.org.
For more information about the project, call 810-516-9614 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
