Apple shares added 0.93% to $456.76. The company's suppliers are gearing up for mass production of a new iPad mini in the fourth quarter that likely will feature a high-resolution screen from rival Samsung, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Here in Canada the CBC will air the Back in the US special at 8pm ET. That's great as there are many time zone feeds on satellite for this and the CBC tends to have less commercials. I also got a notice this morning that both my CD and DVD where shipped yesterday via CDNOW so stores are getting stocked.
Below is an announcement that was on the http://www.cbc.ca/television/wednesday.html website.
Paul McCartney spreads his wings: This past spring, the legendary ex-Beatle embarked on his first tour of North America in almost a decade. Fourteen weeks, 34 cities, with every single show a sell out. Sir Paul performed some of the greatest hits of his career: classics from his days with the Beatles through his solo work and hits with The Wings. Tonight's exclusive CBC broadcast of Paul McCartney: Back in the U.S. lets the cameras backstage and on the road. It's a chance to get up close and personal with one of the greats of rock and roll.

Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Colin Carrie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, our condolences go to the families that are affected.
The health and safety of all Canadians is a priority for our government. We continue to work closely with the community leadership and the provinces.
In the island lake region we are adjusting nursing staff levels and providing support for additional immunization activities and ensuring access to essential medical supplies at the health facilities.
We are encouraging all Canadians to get their flu shot and to use preventive methods, such as handwashing and coughing into their sleeve.
Democratic Reform
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Peter Braid Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to democratic representation and to Bill C-12. That is why we support giving B.C., Alberta and Ontario their fair representation in Parliament. Canadians in these fastest growing provinces deserve more representation.
Could the government House leader update this place on the status of Bill C-12, the democratic representation bill.
Democratic Reform
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, our Prime Minister has been clear and unequivocal in restating our government's commitment to move forward with Bill C-12, the democratic representation bill. We believe that each Canadian vote, to the greatest extent possible, should carry equal weight. That is why we are taking a very principled approach in striking a balance between ensuring fairer representation for the faster growing provinces, while keeping the seat count constant for the remaining provinces.
We ask all coalition partners to support this very important initiative.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government wants to give tax breaks to the wealthiest Canadian corporations, but it would appear that it does not have the money to maintain a Canadian presence in Africa.
Once again, can this government tell us how many embassies it will be closing and, in particular, why it is targeting the African countries of la Francophonie? We are talking about embassies.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, the member initially spoke about cuts. It is a well known fact that our government is recognized and identified with cutting taxes, whereas a Liberal-led government would essentially be inclined to increase taxes.
Once again, on this issue, these are just rumours. We will manage the interests of Canadians in the best possible way.
Oral Questions
Luc Malo Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health continues to state that the federal government is open to the idea of compensating the provinces for the additional expenses caused by the medical isotope shortage that resulted from the closure of the Chalk River reactor in the spring of 2009.
Can the Minister of Health tell us if she intends to compensate Quebec before the next Bachand budget?
Oral Questions
Colin Carrie Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health
Mr. Speaker, from the discussions at the last health ministers meeting, our understanding was that most provinces and territories did not incur additional costs, and we were able to cover by adding testing requirements.
Over the last year of this global shortage, we have seen incredible resourcefulness in managing the existing supply. For example, the medical community has shown great flexibility during this time by maximizing the use of available TC-99 and using alternative isotopes for certain tests.
Canadian Forces
Oral Questions
Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, no parent should ever have to bury a child. However, when that child unfortunately does succumb to his or her injuries, the family should have a right to know what happened.
When it comes to military families, Pierre Daigle, the DND ombudsman, has repeatedly said that the government gives us repeated promises and, for the military families, repeated disappointments.
Why should it take the media to address these concerns with the government? Why is it not more proactive to ensure, in the death of one of our heroes of Canada, that his or her family immediately—

Mr. Speaker, we have covered that a number of times today and we will continue to do everything we can to make the system better for those folks.
I have spent a lot of time in the last few years with the Minister of National Defence and with the Chief of the Defence Staff at events with families of the fallen. No one takes it more seriously than those two men.
We will continue to do everything we can. We recognize the very difficult circumstances in which families find themselves. We grieve with them. Where the system has limitations, we will make that better. We will always try to do the best we possibly can for the families of our fallen.

It came out darker
Posted by Reviewer2021352 on Dec 21, 2011
My hair is dark brown and I thought this would give it a warm tint to it but it came out darker than expected. Almost black. Still, I love this product. I will thought, buy a different color next time.
The best almost organic haircolor for home
Posted by Reviewer1264749 on Feb 21, 2012
This is by far the best of the haircolors that contain only a little bit of chemicals. Easy to use and I like this shade because it's golden and dark at the same time. I would have given five stars if the product contained a mixing bowl and an applicator and the color was fully organic.
Great Product
Posted by Reviewer1042933 on Jun 30, 2012
I have been using this product for some time. Easy to use and good coverage. Leave hair feeling soft.

Posted by Reviewer1574306 on Aug 18, 2011
This dye is good, no strong smells, and gentle on hair. However, my mistake of picking a color to dark for my hair. Otherwise, it is a good product. One thing I didn't like is when I recieved it, the box was a little soaked in the corner cause it spilled a bit. I think plastic bags aren't good packaging. iHerb should invest in better packaging.

Youth physical activity and sedentary time and associations with cardiometabolic health
- Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research, Deakin University, Burwood, Australia
- Correspondence to Nicola D Ridgers
Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition Research, Deakin University, 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood, VIC 3125, Australia; nicky.ridgers{at}deakin.edu.au
Implication for practice and research
■ Increasing youth engagement in physical activity may have beneficial effects on cardiometabolic health outcomes.
■ Further research is needed to examine associations between objectively measured sedentary time and cardiometabolic health outcomes, adjusting for physical activity.
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the effects of sedentary behaviour on children's health, defined as sitting behaviours that require low levels of energy expenditure (≤1.5 METs).1 There is some evidence that sedentary behaviours may be detrimental to children's health, though the majority of associations observed are derived from cross-sectional studies examining television viewing and adiposity.2 This study adds to the literature by examining cross-sectional and prospective associations between objectively measured moderate- to vigorous physical activity …

Police: Suspects established relationships with victims on Facebook
LAKE GENEVA, Wis. - Lake Geneva police said two cousins from Milwaukee have been arrested in connection with the sexual assaults of two 13-year-old girls.
On Jan. 20, the Lake Geneva Police Department investigated complaints received from two 13-year-old girls who said they were victims of multiple sexual assaults in the city of Lake Geneva by two male suspects, according to a Lake Geneva Police Department news release.
Lake Geneva police identified Daniel Tencle Frias, 17, and his cousin, Oscar Mendoza Tencle, 18, as suspects in the case.
Police said the reported assaults occurred after the suspects established relationships with their 13-year-old victims on Facebook.
The assaults occurred in a vacant residence in the city of Lake Geneva after a face to face meeting in late October 2012, according to the news release.
Police said one girl told her parents and they alerted authorities.
Police warned parents about the dangers of teens and social media.
"If the child has a phone, the parent needs to know the password to the phone and they need to monitor what's going on with any device they use," said Lt. Ed Gritzner, of the Lake Geneva Police Department.
The Milwaukee and Brookfield police departments assisted in the arrest of both suspects.
Charges of second-degree sexual assault of a child and criminal trespassing have been referred to the Walworth County District Attorney's Office.
Frias is being held in the Walworth County Jail. Immigration authorities are holding Tencle.

In a bid to quicker capture market share with its latest Fermi-architecture products, Nvidia Corp. reportedly plans to release an additional graphics card within the GeForce GTX 400-series, which will be based on the same GF100 chip, but with lower amount of streaming processors.
The name of the novelty will be the GeForce GTX 460 and it is projected to be launched in early June, according to a news-story by Expreview web-site. It is also known that it will carry 1GB of GDDR5 memory connected to the graphics processing unit (GPU) using 256-bit interface. Although Nvidia has code-named P1025 reference design for the GeForce GTX 460's printed-circuit board (PCB), the company will allow its add-in-board partners to develop their own PCBs in order to differentiate themselves.
What is completely unclear at this point is the actual configuration of the GF100 graphics processor on this particular model. It is likely that the GeForce GTX 460 graphics processor will feature 416 stream processing units, 32 units less than on the GTX 470. However, the company may try to lower power consumption and price of the product even more and reduce the number of stream processors to 384.
Pricing of the GeForce GTX 460 is unknown, but since the GeForce GTX 470 has manufacturer suggested retail price of $349, it is logical to assume that the lower-end model will carry sub-$300 price-tag.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

I cannot bet on games for a lot of reasons (it is illegal, it would be considered conduct unbecoming an officer, security clearance vs. possible ties to organized crime, etc.), but I do like to play along a little, so who do you guys have this week?
I usually think that week 1 is a good week to find pretty good value picks. Here are some games I am looking at:
-I like 'Bama (-21) to destroy VaTech. Saban is a good coach and they return all the key components. It will be as ugly as scUM vs. Bama was last year. 21 is a lot, particularly this early in the season, but I just cant see Vatech scoring more than 10 and I certainly see more than 31 out of 'Bama.
-I like Purdue to cover (+10) vs. Cincy. I just don't see why I should be excited about Cincy. That line stands out to me like a sore thumb.
-State Penn to cover (-10) vs. Syracuse. New coach at 'Cuse and I like what BoB is doing in Happy V. I think they shake the early season mishaps from last year and easily cover.
-I like WasU +14 vs. Auburn. I don't love this game, but I would play a little on it.
-I like Clemson +3 vs. UGA. Clemson was strong last year at the end of the season and they return all the key components, couple that with the tendency for Richt teams to start slow and I think we get a mini upset. I like Clemson straight up so I would probably take the money line +125.
-I like TCU straight up over LSU. LSU lost 11 underclassmen this year and that is a lot to replace. This early in the season coaching is everything, and I think Patterson is probably a top 3 coach in the NCAA (behind only Meyer and Saban). +170.
So if I had 1K to spread over the entire day here is how I would put it:
'Bama -21 for 200.
Purdue +10 for 100.
Stat Penn -10 for 50.
WasU +14 for 100.
Clemson +125 for 400
TCU +170 for 150

I put this in my son's bedroom. He loves that it glows in the dark! We've had a similar solar system in the past, but it was made of very flimsy plastic, barely glowed at all, and didn't come with any string or fishing line to hang it. This one came with all the supplies, was quick and easy to hang, plus it comes with a paper booklet about the planets.My only con is the planet Earth looks almost solid white instead of the green/blue expected. I attribute this to the cloud/atmosphere around Earth, plus they wanted to leave enough yellowish areas showing on each planet so they would glow. This is very minor in my opinion.I received this solar system in exchange for giving an honest review of the product.

Very sad 3.5 year old after realizing this glow in the dark solar system doesn't actually glow in the dark. He also pointed out that You have to tack or tape each planet to your ceiling. And my son pointed out that Saturn was made without rings. Poorly designed all around.

I received this Glow in the Dark Solar System to review from Educational insights. My son is huge to science type stuff and lately he has been all about the plants! He's also very afraid of the dark. So having a glow in dark solar system is a win all around for him! The thing I liked most that it features proportional Sun and planets. Not only is this solar system really easy to put together, makes learning fun, but it's very sturdy and 8 year old boy proof! He messes with it constantly!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These planets and the Sun are a great educational tool for schools and at the home. I love that the sun glows in the dark and it is really helpful in teaching about the planets and the solar system!

I gave it as a gift to my young grandson who is very interested in the planets. His parents assembled it easily and it is on his bedroom ceiling. He loves it! He especially likes that the planet Pluto is still included. That is important to him! He looks forward to having the mobile in his room each night. I am very glad I got it for him!

I was provided with this product in exchange for a review but opinions are my own.My children love this solar system and how it glows! The planets are made very well and I loved how we could hang them however we wanted (straight line, group, etc.). At first we were confused which planet was which since some look very similar, but the symbols on the bottom of each planet allowed us to match them to the paper diagram.I didn't expect the extra educational info on the planets, so that was a nice surprise.

Great room accessory for a kids room!
By Amberlee Cave
from Colfax, CA
I received this Glow in the Dark Solar System to review from Educational insights. My daughters have a Solar System similar to this product in their school and almost everyday they would point it out to me and tell me they wanted one at home. They are both obsessed with the sky (my youngest is more obsessed) and this is the perfect thing for their room! Not only is it cool to look at, but we can talk about the different planets together which is a plus for me. They love that not only can they see it during the day, but they can also see it at night when the lights are out. I love having glow in the dark things in their room that are not the traditional glow in the dark stars. I like that they will know is around them and I love the tools that make it easy to share our world together. I love that this kit comes with everything you need to set it up too! It made it very easy to put together and looked great once put up. My girls love falling asleep looking at the planets.
My son loves this!

This product was easy to use and the planets labeled by their astronomical signs. Ours did come with a guide with instructions on how to use it. It also came with cleat fishing wire to hang on the ceiling. We did have to purchase tacks so it would of been nice if they would include tacks in the box so it is a all ready to go activity. My son wanted over his bed and he was really excited when he turned off the light and went to bed and they were all glowing bright.

I received the Geosafari Glow-In-The-Dark Solar System for free in order to give a honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. My 3 year old daughter loves this very much. I am going to hang it up inside of her bookshelf for her. I had a little trouble identifying the planets while setting it up. Luckily the planets have the symbols on the bottom and I matched them up by using the booklet for help. My daughter knows the names to all of her planets and so she really enjoys looking at it. My only real complaint is that it does not glow as well I was hoping, especially the sun. I charged it up with a bright flashlight and the sun only seems to glow for a brief moment. My daughter does not seem to mind at all. The planets are all very tiny, but I am not complaining about that because I like that it is very compact and looks great in a child's room. My daughter thinks it is fantastic, and if she does, so do I :)

Looks great
By Wendy
from Suffolk
About Me Mum Of 3
My son loves learning about the solar system and we thought this set would look great in his room. We set it up and it has looked great ever since. We set it up with the correct distances between the planets. The planets are not too big for the ceiling but most of the planets are a couple of centimetres in size.

Norma Although I'm not a fanatic on exactness, I generally will add app. 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 2-3 cloves of fresh garlic and salt and pepper in very modest amount to a 28oz. can of tomatoes. In a pinch I won't hesitate to use the dried minced garlic, Penzey's is just about as good as fresh garlic.
chickenparmSeems that everyone agrees about the slight difference between the Classico's and 6-in 1's, I attribute it to the fact that the Classico's are without peels while the 6 in 1's have peels (which tend to add a bit of bitterness). Really can't go wrong with either.
NormaI also have a can of Classico tomato puree. I'll include that in my test. I'll be anxious to see the difference in texture between the ground, crushed and tomato puree. Also, I've never been crazy about whole tomatoes, so that will be interesting also. I love Sclafani crushed tomatoes, however their whole tomatoes are just meh! I have a theory about why, but we'll save that for a later date.
NormaI was curious about the puree, I also have a can but haven't tried them yet. Glad you gave us your findings. I've tried the Rienzi tomatoes and they were TERRIBLE! Beware, they were by far the worst tasting tomatoes I have ever tried. Red Pack are very pedistrian, many better options available for the same price or less IMO. Let us know what you think!
NormaI'm gonna be with a bunch of pizza fanatics next weekend and I'm bringing several brands of canned tomatoes to do a taste test. Just "crushed" or "ground" will be included, have to keep it somewhat controlled. I'll report back on what the results are.

Nugget Under Counter Ice Makers
Nugget under counter ice makers enjoy the benefits of a low profile, space saving design, and a combined nugget ice maker and bin. Nugget ice is a great choice for specialty drink shops as it gives favorable liquid displacement and is fun to chew (relatively soft and easy on the teeth). Hospitals love nugget ice for patients of all ages as it does a great job of cooling the drinks down quickly and patients can chew the ice without straining their teeth. For the space conscientious drink shop, or wherever there is limited space, an under counter nugget ice maker is a great choice.

AT&T Mobility needs more wireless spectrum. There really is no mystery in that statement. Last year, the telecom goliath couldn't convince the Justice Department and the FCC that buying T-Mobile was an acquisition that, in the end, would benefit consumers. The result? A $4 Billion gift to T-Mobile (OTCQX:DTEGF) in cash and spectrum rights for a failed deal along with increased pressure to find a partner with a bit (O.K., a lot) of unused wireless spectrum to compete with Verizon (NYSE:VZ), Sprint (NYSE:S) and T-Mobile.
With the T-Mobile deal dead, speculation that AT&T (NYSE:T) would acquire Dish (NASDAQ:DISH) quickly hit the market. Dollar figures aside, a Dish acquisition makes good strategic sense for AT&T for multiple reasons. It's more likely to get past government regulators, it will provide at least short-term relief to its wireless spectrum dilemma, and perhaps most interestingly, it gives the telecom a fully-owned Video delivery option for areas outside the U-verse footprint.
Sure, AT&T will likely continue to lose ground to cable in the broadband market as customer demand for faster download speeds outpaces DSL capabilities. However, a proper marriage to DISH (as opposed to a cross-marketing and selling agreement with DirecTV), could provide a line of bundled products for AT&T that is perfectly positioned as the best value in Video and High Speed Internet Access.
And while there is continuing evidence of cord cutting and cord trimming in the market, Dish's value-centric marketing has won share of the online shopper for home video products. In fact, Dish is the only major provider to see year-over-year growth of online shoppers for Video service.
Dish has carved out its spot as the low cost provider (e.g. 5 deals for under $50). AT&T has been selling dry-loop DSL for under $20/month for over a year. An entry-level DSL/Dish bundle priced at $40 or $50 would most certainly help AT&T fight off the consistent pressure from Cable – not a bad extra when you're buying up wireless capacity.

Expand your space with this reflective item
Mirrors are not just looking glasses or a place to check your hair before you leave the house. They are design features added for both form and function. Discover the best uses for a mirror and open your mind to new home decorating possibilities.
Mirrors create the illusion of space. In a small area, a mirror will open up the space. The eye is tricked into believing that the mirror is in fact a window or opening that creates a place for your eyes to focus farther off in the distance. This experience gives you the feeling that the room is actually much larger, according to Apartment Therapy. Feel free to select different shapes, colors or sizes for interesting mirror groupings, or find an amazing large mirror that can serve as a single statement piece. However you use mirrors, that small room will seem to grow after the mirror�s placement.
Mirrors add light to a room. If you have a dim room with little natural light, mirrors are the solution. Nothing gives a small, dark space instant sparkle and light like a mirror. Properly placed to bounce light from a distant or small source, a mirror will reflect light all around the room. The extra light brightens any dark corner, and the mirror itself will glow brilliantly.
Mirrors are great Feng Shui. The art of Feng Shui is about balance, harmony and energy. Mirrors serve more than one purpose in this sense. Mirrors symbolize the water element of fluidity and as such offer a sensation of tranquility and refreshment. In terms of Feng Shui, mirrors also draw in and focus energy, or Ch'i, according to the Western School of Feng Shui. With appropriate placement, mirrors can shift the flow of Ch'i to an optimal pattern and unblock any dead, energy-robbing spaces. Mirrors placed in the eastern side of the home offer positivity to family and health. Southeastern mirrors encourage wealth and abundance. For a boost to career and life path, place mirrors in the northern sectors of a home or room.

Dogs are often described as "man's best friend," but like any good friendship, owners and dogs must learn to respect each other's boundaries and space. Some canines can grow overly attached to their owners and begin to display signs of separation anxiety in dogs. A dog with this condition may become nervous, anxious or even aggressive when the owner is not nearby, making it difficult to leave him alone.
Other clinical signs of separation anxiety include the animal constantly following you around the house, becoming excited when you leave or arrive, urinating or causing destruction in the house while you are away and general signs of anxiety such as becoming withdrawn, shaking and whimpering.
Separation anxiety is a common but complex problem for dogs. Owners who believe their dog is suffering from separation anxiety should talk with their veterinarian about possible ways to change this behavior. It may even be helpful for the owner to set up a video camera while they are away from the house, so the exact behaviors that are occurring can be identified, discussed and treated.
Like many other behavioral issues in dogs, separation anxiety can be overcome with proper training, though it may be difficult to do so if the dog is exhibiting severe signs of the issue. Establishing a predictable routine is the first step in breaking separation anxiety, reports VCA Animal Hospitals. If the dog begins to expect that it will be alone at certain times of the day, it will become easier for the animal to handle these periods of time. Assign certain parts of the day for exercise or play with the dog.
When coming up with the routine, determine which activities require your full, undivided attention, and which do not. You should also be sure that these periods are broken up throughout the day. For example, playing with your dog requires your attention, and a dog that is overly attached will look forward to this. Letting the dog play outside by itself, on the other hand, would be a time when the dog needs to learn to be on its own. By enforcing these "together" and "separate" times throughout the day, the dog will gradually become accustomed to being away from you.
Scheduling is not the only way to deal with separation anxiety. The animal also learns through a system of rewards. Many owners think of "reward" as being a food or treat, but it can also be the owner's attention if that's what the dog is craving. It might be tough, but in trying to break separation anxiety, you should never "reward" overly needy behaviors such as constant following or excitement with your attention. Instead, be sure the dog knows you will not be paying it attention or giving a treat until he is calm or settled. One way to do this is through commands - make the dog "sit" before play begins or before you give him a treat to reinforce the fact that it must be completely calm before he will get what he wants.

I drink mainly young pu. The point is that strong and intense teas improve the blood circulation in the mouth meanwhile the kuwei helps you to handle the potential bitter taste of the whisky.
Anyways, even with the crazy price increase of puerh, it is still a much cheaper hobby than whisky collection.

It might be spring cleaning, or just the urge to destroy something after I finish filing my taxes, but one of my chores each year involves getting rid of the excess paperwork that invades my financial life. This year, however, that ritual changed. After talking to enough experts, it has become clear that spring cleaning is no longer about making sure a paper bomb doesn't explode all over your home office, but that a document/password implosion doesn't occur in your online and electronic world.
While getting rid of or changing electronic data doesn't have the same visceral thrill of shredding the enemy into little bits, it's a challenge that most consumers need to take on, particularly in light of the Heartbleed bug, which taught us that threats can be sudden, even if initial scares over how much data is vulnerable might be overblown.
Most people keep too much paperwork/information around because they don't know what to get rid of and don't have a plan to trim the excess. Here's my plan, as I expect to execute it this weekend when I put the new tax return into the files and remove most of the junk that doesn't have to be there.
Tax Records
Unless you're filing fraudulent returns — for which there is no statute of limitations — reduce income tax returns into several stacks of paperwork
Old tax returns — especially those covering the purchase or sale of property — can be important for compiling future returns, possibly decades into the future. Thus, keeping the return documents in perpetuity is prudent, though not necessary when returns are decades old and several residences in the past; most tax preparers keep copies of your documents for the life of your advisory relationship, so you may have back-up there too.
"Support documents" — the receipts, bills and tax forms on which you based your tax math — must be kept for three years after a return is due. Thus, when this year's return hits the filing cabinet, purge the bulging pile of stuff from the 2010 return (filed in 2011, so the three-year holding period has passed).
If you have multiple sources of income and want to stay ultra-cautious, keep forms related to income (like 1099s and W-2 forms) for six years, the time the IRS has to challenge returns on which it believes gross income was underreported by 25% or more.
Investment Papers
Due to rules changes phased in since 2011, brokerage houses now provide cost information on stock purchases, mutual funds, options, bonds and other securities.
Don't be too quick to shred old trading confirmations, however. Financial-services firms had to establish/maintain records beginning the year the rules went into effect (so 2011 for stocks, 2012 for mutual funds, etc.). Some firms don't have data on purchases made prior to the rules; some firms work with consumers to build records from the past, so that their accounting reflects the papers you saved, at which point the firm's numbers can be considered reliable.
Until you know the firm's records are correct and complete, keep your trade confirmations.
Do, however, shred investment papers you don't need. Year-end statements show all transactions for the year, allowing you to discard all monthly/quarterly documents except that year-ender. Your files get a lot slimmer when your annual activity is summarized on one paper.

Micron Technology, one of the world's largest makers of flash memory, on Tuesday said that it had initiated production of flash memory using 34nm process technology. The new multi-level cell memory chips will allow Micron to create more affordable and faster solid-state drives thanks to both 34nm process technology as well as ONFI 2.1 interface.
The newly made 32Gb multi-level cell (MLC) NAND chip is 17% smaller than Micron's first-generation 32Gb chip, whereas the 16Gb MLC NAND chip, at just 84mm², provides high-capacity in an ultra tiny package. Micron is also now sampling 8- and 16Gb single-level cell (SLC) NAND chips using the 34nm process.
Both products feature an ONFI 2.1 synchronous interface that delivers transfer speeds of up to 200MB/s. In comparison, traditional SLC NAND is limited to 40MB/s. With this improved transfer speed, the interface delivers the fastest read and write throughput offered in today's NAND devices. With solid state drives (SSDs) trending toward a Serial ATA 6 Gb/second interface, the high-speed NAND interface enables manufacturers to design products that deliver twice the throughput of today's existing SATA 3Gb/s solutions.
"With our new 16- and 32Gb NAND chips in mass production, we are enabling customers to design cost-effective, high-capacity storage in their small-form factor products, using less space and fewer die. In addition, the high-speed interface is ideal in the industry's quest to continue to increase throughput performance for SSDs," said Brian Shirley, vice president of Micron's memory group.
Additionally, Lexar Media, a subsidiary of Micron and a leading provider of consumer memory products for digital devices, is taking advantage of Micron's new 34nm NAND products by delivering a wide range of flash memory cards and USB flash drives utilizing this technology.

He performs waterproofing processing to works, after firing of a work finishes.
He said to me that it was thought that the unevenness of a waterproofing processing agent is the cause in a waterproofing process.
Although works are not inferior goods, if you are worrisome, please tell me about it to me.
I will consult to Eiichi."
So there you have it. I'm still quite happy with the yunomi so no need to trouble Eiichi-san or Hide-san further.

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement is a form of insolvency that allows you to pay off a manageable chunk of your debt over a set term, with the rest being written off.
It's all quite simple. All you need to do is work out a repayment plan with your creditors, with the help of an insolvency practitioner (IP). You'll pay a set amount each month to your IP, who'll then distribute it among your creditors. An IVA will usually last for five years.
Once the agreement is set up, the terms are legally binding, so you'll be free from harassment throughout.
Once the term is up, whatever is left of your debt is written off, and you're free to start afresh, debt-free.
The exact requirements can vary, but as a general rule, you'll need to fulfil the following criteria in order to apply:
If these apply to you, or if you're uncertain about whether they do, get in touch for a free consultation and we'll get you on your way to becoming totally debt free.

If you are someone who has multiple debts of a high value then an Individual Voluntary Arrangement might be well suited for you. An Individual Voluntary Arrangement is a debt solution that is designed to aid you with the repayment of your unsecured debts, such as your payday loans and credit card debts. If you take out an Individual Voluntary Arrangement, then you will form an agreement with your creditor to repay a manageable portion of the balance of your debt over an extended period of time (typically around 5-6 years). At the end of the agreement, provided you have adhered to the terms of the arrangement, even if you have not repaid your debts in full, your debts will be written off. If you are someone experiencing financial difficulties and want to avoid declaring bankruptcy, then contact us today on 0800 230 0379, for expert advice about what an Individual Voluntary Arrangement can do for you.
You don't have to deal with nasty creditors any more, and all the hard work is done for you. More on how it works here.

It's very simple. All you do is make one affordable monthly payment to a qualified legal professional, who in turn distributes the payments according to the amounts previously agreed by your creditors in an IVA proposal. You do this every month, for 60 months, and at the end of the term any debt balances you still owe are written off.

Signs along the South Holston River
We fished the South Holston River yesterday and new signs have been placed all along the river by TWRA,warning of the invasion of Didymo into this river system as well as the dangers that it imposes to the fish and insects that live there. It also tells about how this agent can be transported to other waters and what each person should do to stop this entity from being carried to other nearby streams. Each person should read this and tell other fishermen who might be going to this river. You will probably see these signs appearing on other rivers soon.

Re: Signs along the South Holston River
I'd be interested in seeing some work done in the states on this stuff. I've read some articles on resarch over seas regarding didymo. I believe it was posted on a thread somewhere on the board. I believe RFowler has the link! I'm sure some one some where is doing research on it! From what I've read and based on what I've seen I hope that tailwater doesn't end up with the same result as on the clinch. Last time I fished the Clinch, we fished right at the jail and it was absolutely everywhere! Makes you wonder where it originated? I would think that people fishing the lakes above the tailwaters would need to take the same precautions! I can't tell you how many times I've been at the launch and watched people waiting to launch their boat and unload the old stagnant water from thier livewells or pull the plug from their craft to let out the water that seeped in from the last time on the water. Not to mention I just cant see someone spraying their brand new gelcoat boat with 2% bleach water or even taking the time to do so. Don't get me wrong prevention is great, and sometimes all we have to hope for, but there is always someone to mess something up for everyone else. Scary stuff non the less and I begin to wonder if this is the decline in good fishing at the Clinch. I believe I've heard a few of you all make that comment before!
If anyone has got some more info on research being done post it I'd like to give it a gander!
Re: Signs along the South Holston River
I am not sure if this is the same link to the TVA article that RFowler had but here is the one I had saved.
An acquaintance is traveling to New Zealand for a fly fishing trip in a couple of week and one of the streams he had planned to fish there is now closed to fisherman due to the Didymo.

Skip to comments.Kerry Backs Bush's $81.9 Bln War Spending Plan
Posted on 02/15/2005 2:16:27 PM PST by redlenses
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. John Kerry, whose baffling explanation of votes on Iraq war funding hurt his 2004 White House bid, said on Tuesday he would back President Bush's new $81.9 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I think we're in a very different situation," Kerry told reporters. "I'm going to vote for this ... I think this money is important to our being successful and to the completion of the process."
The Massachusetts senator, who failed in his bid to unseat Bush last November in an election focused on national security, defended his decision to not back the president's previous request to fund military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Mine was the right vote at the time and I wouldn't change it if we went back to that point in time because it was the right vote," Kerry said. "We didn't have a plan and they didn't spend the money correctly."
In October 2003, a year after voting to support the use of force in Iraq, Kerry voted against an $87 billion supplemental funding bill for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. He did support an unsuccessful alternative bill that funded the $87 billion by cutting some of Bush's tax cuts.
In March last year as the presidential campaign heated up, Kerry provided his Republican opponents with political ammunition when he sought to explain the move by saying: "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."
"Should we have done a better job, could I have done a better job personally in fighting back on defining that?" Kerry asked. "The answer is yeah."
Kerry said the United States would have made better progress on Iraq, where an insurgency continues to rage almost two years after the March 2003 invasion, if he had been elected. He asserted the Bush administration was only now "trying some of the things" he proposed such as focusing on training Iraqi forces and getting other countries involved.
"I think my security proposals for the country were smack on, dead on," Kerry said.
Bush's request is expected to be approved by lawmakers despite concerns in the U.S. Congress about record federal budget deficits.
Give him 5 minutes. He'll change his mind :)
my head is spinning
Who is this Kerry fellow and why does he look so French?
Kerry's statement--- "I support the President's funding request, that is before a while back when I do not support the effort to remove funding and support our troops, but I do not support the effort to raise funding to not support our troops, while before that, I do support funding that was not supported by my previous vote to stop and start funding last week, which has no bearing on my not funding the support that was funded by the Senate which did change my support on the issue of taking funds away from the military to give to the non-supported funds which I voted for yesterday, but now changed back to the original funding which I voted for along with the effort to change funding and re-support the vote to change the Senate vote which I do support...now I can clarify that by saying I do not support the funding which I earlier voted against, er for, then changed back on Wednesday, but....."
Well, he can still be for it, before he votes against it.
This President stole my plan...a plan I formulated while in Vietnam.
when Kerry and Gore finally meld into one, will that be the first example of a fusion reaction emitting BS on implosion instead of gamma rays......
Doesn't Bush realize how many lobsters that kind of money could save?
Wouldn't it be simpler and easier on everyone if instead of being "for", then "against", then again "for", he would just average his position(s) and be steadily FOR half the amount?
That's assuming he can do simple math :)
That's this week. Alot can change in 7 days.
Well, Terayzah does anyway. Jean Francois couldn't afford'em :)
He's going to vote for it, before he votes against it.
or simpler even still: Kerry is Forgainst everything!
180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180 180
So what now? Does Hillary! raise the ante by saying this isn't enough money?
My plan, my plan ,I'm right, I'm right it was all my idea ....If it is going the right way today. Just wait tell tomorrow .
skerry is going to have to flip flop so many times before now and ,08 to be riight all the time , it should be a gas.
I'll call some local sports books and see what the line is on how long before he....
before he..........
What a schmuck.
"I think my security proposals for the country were smack"
We can stop right there, John. You are a smack and so are your "plans" (or whatever other idea you hoped to steal)
By the way, we haven't seen the 180 yet? The pen should still be warm in your hand, go ahead, just zign ze paperz.
Huh? You mean as opposed to the previous spending bill that did NOT HELP to COMPLETE the PROCESS?
How can any reporter STOP from LAUGHING out loud at that statement while asking him HOW in Allah's name could NO MONEY, NO FOOD, NO AMMO, or NO EQUIPMENT have helped our TROOPS to succeed in bringing about the recent and successful elections in IRAQ?
as he stands before a roomful of reporters, how come not ONE asks politely why he hasn't signed the 180 yet?
This guy wants to remain relevant and Reuters wants to help him. I don't think there's anything more subtle than that going on here.

10 Best Tricks, Worst Treats In 2012 Tech
It works kind of the same way in the tech world. Some years the kindly folks in the big Silicon Valley mansions give consumers treats so incredible that they talk about them for seasons on end. Sometime they open their big, old-growth doors and dole out stuff so cheap or pointless that it makes you want to come back with eggs, toilet paper and flaming bags of something awfully unpleasant.
Leading up to this Halloween, tech consumers and investors have received a little of each extreme from tech companies. With those mixed results starting to show up in those companies' earnings, maybe it's about time to sort through the bag and figure out with products were the sweetest in 2012 and which were potentially toxic to consumers and companies alike:
Google's(GOOG) Nexus 7 Tablet
Legal wrangling between this tablet's manufacturer, Samsung, and Apple(AAPL) held up this device's release, but the wait was well worth it for Android fans and Apple detractors.
The Nexus 7, at 7 inches, is smaller than the recently announced iPad Mini. At $200, it's also much less expensive than its $330 competitor. Its HD display is great for games and movies, its Tegra 3 processor is built for speed and its mere presence is an affront to Apple and its followers.
Think that's an overstatement? We weren't the ones who took time out of the iPad Mini launch presentation to bring the Nexus 7 onstage and tear it down like a would-be sorority sister during pledge week. We don't remember the Motorola (MMI) Xoom or BlackBerry(RIMM) Playbook getting that kind of rough treatment from Apple, or even acknowledgement. You mad, Tim?
Amazon's(AMZN) Kindle Fire HD
It hasn't been a great quarter for Amazon. The company took its first loss in nine years, it's not optimistic about next quarter and it has analysts grumbling.
It did manage to score one big win in the past three months, though. Despite Apple's assertion that 7-inch tablets aren't a good idea -- a claim not at all rooted in Apple's decision to make one 0.9 inches bigger -- Amazon's Kindle Fire HD not only got the first Consumer Reports recommendation for a 7-inch tablet but scored its first thumbs-up for a tablet costing $200 or less. Considering that figure gets you an iPod Touch in Apple world, that's a victory Amazon and consumers should feel good crowing about.
Apple's iPhone 5
Sure, the past two entries had enough Apple bashing to qualify as a cider press, but Apple leaves consumers no choice but to recognize game when it's played by the best.

The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to organise assistance to all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), particularly those with the greatest needs, through multi-faceted programmes prioritising athlete development, training of coaches and sports administrators, and promoting the Olympic values. The Olympic Solidarity Commission is responsible for defining the main courses of action and managing the activities of Olympic Solidarity, for example by approving programmes and the related budgets, and monitoring their implementation. It enjoys financial, technical and administrative autonomy, and reports to the IOC Executive Board and President, keeping them regularly informed about the main decisions taken, e.g. approval of programmes and budgets for the Olympic Solidarity plans. The Olympic Solidarity Commission relies on the Olympic Solidarity international office in Lausanne to implement, execute, monitor and coordinate all its decisions.
The Olympic Solidarity Commission administers the programmes adopted by Olympic Solidarity, which, as per the Olympic Charter, are to contribute to:
- Promoting the Fundamental Principles of Olympism;
- Assisting the NOCs in the preparation of their athletes and teams for their participation in the Olympic Games;
- Developing the technical sports knowledge of athletes and coaches;
- Improving the technical level of athletes and coaches in cooperation with NOCs and IFs, including through scholarships;
- Training sports administrators;
- Cooperating with organisations and entities pursuing such objectives, particularly through Olympic education and the propagation of sport;
- Creating, where needed, simple, functional and economical sports facilities in cooperation with national or international bodies;
- Supporting the organisation of competitions at national, regional and continental level under the authority or patronage of the NOCs, and assisting the NOCs in the organisation, preparation and participation of their delegations in regional and continental Games;
- Encouraging joint bilateral or multilateral cooperation programmes among NOCs;
- Urging governments and international organisations to include sport in official development assistance.
The Olympic Solidarity Commission is supported by Olympic Solidarity.
The aim of Olympic Solidarity is to organise assistance for all the National Olympic Committees (NOCs), particularly those with the greatest needs, through multi-faceted programmes prioritising athlete development, training of coaches and sports administrators, and promoting the Olympic ideals (Olympic Charter, rule 5).
Three ways to support the NOCs
The three sections – World Programmes, Continental Programmes and IOC Subsidies for Participation in Olympic Games - available through Olympic Solidarity function autonomously and complement one another. They cover the objectives of the NOCs, which are mainly to improve their functioning and organisational ability; to create or develop efficient structures; to organise training courses at various levels; and to profit from the technical and financial resources available, which in turn will benefit their athletes.IOC
