What Do the Election Results Mean for Medicaid?
The election is finally over, and President Obama's victory and upcoming second term in office mean that his signature Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obamacare, will be fully enacted by 2014. The implementation of the law will mean big changes and potentially big savings for Medicaid, the nation's public health insurance plan for low-income families.
The biggest change is the most obvious — Medicaid rolls could be expanded by as many as 17 million people across the country with ACA rules that will put families making up to 133 percent of the federal poverty line into the program. The actual number will be less than that, after the Supreme Court ruled in June that the federal government could not compel states to add more people to the public health plan.
Several states have already announced they will refuse to expand Medicaid even though Washington D.C. would pick up an overwhelming majority of the costs — estimates now predict that perhaps an additional 11 or 12 million people will be signed up rather than the 17 million who would otherwise be eligible.
Beyond simply adding more people to its program, there are several changes within Medicaid that could soon be put into effect now that regulators know that the ACA isn't in immediate danger of getting scrapped, as was promised by presidential challenger Mitt Romney. "Given that there wasn't a change, conventional wisdom is that there are a number of regulations that have been held up pending the election results and we should start to see some of those regulations come out in the next several months," says Ellyn L. Sternfield, an attorney with the health law section of Washington D.C. firm Mintz Levin.
In particular, new rules could be issued soon about how the health plan prices prescription drugs for its rebate program. Consumers might also expect to see greater federal/state cooperation on fraud enforcement.
Drugs and Fraud on the Radar
The drug rebate program governs how much of a discount manufacturers give the government in exchange for their products being covered by Medicaid. The rebate increased to 23.1 percent for most drugs when the ACA was enacted in 2010, and new regulations could be on the way. Essentially the rules will change how companies calculate the prices of their drugs, which could lead to a more favorable deal to the government. The takeaway is that savings to taxpayers could be in the billions.
"Draft regulations were issued some time ago," Sternfield says. "I think everybody is waiting with bated breath. Manufacturers are eager to see guidance."
Another measure to keep Medicaid costs low is to root out bad-faith actors through the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team (HEAT). "There's been a lot of increased health care enforcement through the HEAT initiative through the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services," says Sternfield. "I expect to see that effort continue with increased joint state and federal efforts."
In theory, communication and coordination between various agencies could reduce compliance costs to health providers in addition to preventing fraud. "The problem is, the more people who are auditing and reviewing a Medicaid provider, the more administrative costs there are," the attorney explains. "My hope is that some of these coordinated efforts may decrease the number of people who are looking at a particular billing or particular type of claim and hopefully limit some of the administrative burden. I'm not optimistic but that's my hope."

Red Sox minor league roundup: Christian Vazquez is more than just a glove; Anthony Ranaudo brings back power; Mookie Betts remains outrageous
|04.05.14 at 9:01 am ET
Over time, Christian Vazquez has developed a reputation as one of the top defensive catchers in the minors, someone whose arm behind the plate is a game-changing weapon that has earned the 23-year-old comparisons to perennial Gold Glover Yadier Molina. But increasingly, Vazquez is starting to earn more far-reaching comparisons to the Cardinals All-Star not just for his defense but for the trajectory of his offensive development.
As a hitter, Molina was something of a late bloomer, putting up solid but unspectacular numbers in the minors (.278/.335/.368) and struggling in his first three big league seasons (.238/.291/.342 through his age 23 season in 2006) before taking a leap forward as one of the top two-way catchers in baseball, hitting .297/.353/.422 from 2007-13.
It remains to be seen what kind of hitter Vazquez ultimately becomes, but his progress commands notice. In 2012, he walked 48 times and struck out 79 times; last year, he walked the same number of times (48) but cut his strikeout rate roughly in half (44) while posting a .287 average, .375 OBP and .391 slugging mark. His approach passes the eye test as a hitter who does not expand the strike zone and whose hand-eye coordination permits him to hit line drives to all fields.
This spring, there were signs that Vazquez's improved knowledge of the strike zone could permit him to make more of an offensive impact as he takes some chances pulling the ball. He crushed a couple of homers in big league spring training, offering a glimpse of a catcher who could have the ability to hit for average, get on base and deliver a bit of sneaky pop — in short, a player who may be ready to challenge his perception as a defense-first player whose limited offensive skill set profiles as that of a backup or a below-average everyday catcher.
On Friday, Vazquez went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles — one to right, one to left. While the one-year deal for A.J. Pierzynski resulted in a sense that Vazquez could emerge as the Sox' catcher by 2015, his offensive improvements suggest a player who will be ready before that if the need arises.
"In my mind, he's ready now," manager John Farrell said of Vazquez on WEEI's Down on the Farm.
Programming Note: Sunday on Down on the Farm: Red Sox hitting coordinator Tim Hyers will discuss Vazquez and other Red Sox prospects, and ESPN's Keith Law will discuss the shape of the different farm systems among American League East teams. Listen to the show on WEEI on Sunday morning from 8:30-9 a.m.
— Left-hander Craig Breslow, pitching in the second of back-to-back games, logged a scoreless inning in which he allowed a double and struck out a batter. On Friday, Breslow said that it was his hope that he would be ready for activation from the disabled list after his second Triple-A outing, though he will meet with team officials on Saturday to make the determination of whether he will make any further rehab appearances. Breslow threw eight of 12 pitches for strikes, getting two groundouts and a punchout.
— Right-hander Anthony Ranaudo punched out seven batters, his highest strikeout total in seven Triple-A starts (he struck out no more than five batters in any of his six Pawtucket starts in 2013), though he also permitted four walks (also his highest total in Triple-A) en route to a four run (one earned) yield in which he gave up four hits, with a homer and double in the mix. Though he misfired on occasion, Ranaudo did show considerable power to his arsenal while eliciting (according to Gameday) 14 swings and misses among his 73 pitches.
— Brock Holt, batting leadoff this year with Jackie Bradley Jr. in the big leagues, went 3-for-3 with a double and a walk. The three hits and four times on base both matched Holt's Triple-A career highs. To date, he's reached base in six of eight plate appearances to open the year.
— Feats of Mookie: Hitting everything, everywhere. Mookie Betts went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, with two hits up the middle and a double slammed to left field, to improve to 7-for-9 in the first two games of the season. His seven hits lead the minors, and matches his total from his first 11 contests of 2013. Indeed, it's worth noting that he started slowly last year before turning on the jets (heretofore known as "Mookie-ing"), hitting .347/.434/.554 with 13 homers and 34 steals over his final 104 games in Greenville and Salem. In a noteworthy act of humility, Betts did get thrown out on Friday in an "attempt" to steal third base.
— Third baseman Sean Coyle launched his first homer of the year, going 2-for-4. Though he struggles at time with his approach, there's no denying the power of the 5-foot-8 22-year-old, who launched 16 homers in just 276 plate appearances with High-A Salem in 2013.
— Catcher Blake Swihart threw out both runners who attempted to steal against him. He caught an impressive 41.5 percent of runners who tried to steal against him in the Carolina League last year.
— Shortstop Deven Marrero went 1-for-4 with a double and walk, giving him three doubles in the first two games of the season after he did not collect a single extra-base hit in Portland after a late-season callup in 2013.
— Right-hander Keith Couch did not give up an earned run in 5 2/3 innings, punching out six and walking one.
— Right-hander Austin Maddox, a 2012 third-round selection, took well to his move from the rotation to the bullpen last year in Greenville, but on Friday, he delivered his most dominant outing as a pro, retiring all six batters he faced and retiring five by punchout.
— Right-hander William Cuevas tossed six scoreless innings, allowing six hits, punching out three and walking none. Cuevas, 23, went 8-9 with a 5.05 ERA last year in Salem.
— Catcher Carson Blair went 1-for-4 with his first homer of the year. The 24-year-old has a homer and triple along with three walks in his first two games of the season.
— Right-hander Jamie Callahan, one of the most impressive performers for the Red Sox in minor league spring training this year, struggled in his first start of the year, allowing a career-high six walks along with four hits (all singles) and yielding three runs in his 3 2/3 innings. The control struggle was surprising for a pitcher who has developed the reputation of being an aggressive strike-thrower, having permitted just 2.6 walks per nine innings as an 18-year-old in Lowell last year.
— Second baseman Wendell Rijo, the third-youngest position player in the South Atlantic League, went 2-for-4 with a double. The Sox envision him as a player who will post strong averages and OBPs with the ability to hit 30-plus doubles, offering a portrait of a potential above-average second baseman well down the road.

Signing up
I was happy to have the house to
myself after they left, even if the house was remarkable neat (even neater than
usual and that's saying something!). Mom
had made a point of inviting the friends in when they came. She likes to show
people that she hasn't neglected the cleaning, as if running around with a
bottle of bleach and a wet cloth, wiping down tiles and marble made everything
normal. I'd had to change into a 'normal' tee-shirt (not something of my own
customisation) and a pair of jeans that didn't have beads stitched on, or
anything like that. I'd had to come downstairs in a pink tee-shirt with none of
my trademark designs on it, my hair pulled back in a plain ponytail and just
girly glittery make-up that all the 'popular' girls at school wore. Then I had
to simper pathetically whenever the friends said something that they thought
was funny, and lie that school was going brilliantly.
The minute they'd gone out the door I
was back into my navy leggings with the roses all over them, my black vest-top
with the black-sequin detail I'd added myself, my hair all loose in its crazy
curls, the lilac streak henna-dyed back in. I'd applied purple eye-shadow and
orange lipstick, and replaced the lilac pumps I'd been wearing with scarlet
ankle-boots. I felt as if I was back in my own skin, not pretending to be some
sugar-pink so-called popular clone.
I sat down at my own laptop and got
started with creating an account on the writing website. It only took me five
minutes, and I uploaded five songs and two poems, before switching off the
laptop and going to raid the cupboard where the biscuits and nice things were.

Medell�n today is a prospering city, with an impressive infrastructure that continues to grow at a rapid pace. There is much less crime than before, and compared to other Colombian cities that I have seen I'd say Medell�n is probably the safest and most cared after. This I attribute to a strong sense of pride and good education, things that can be seen in the people and the city they strive to maintain as a reflection of who they are. I'd also say the Spanish is probably the best in this city, as the paisas speak with a beautiful accent that is a real treat for your ears if you've spent as much time in Central America and M�xico as I have.
My final day I toured the northern end of the city where the poor are conveniently tucked away, far from the upscale south where luxurious shopping malls, fine restaurants and wild nightspots reside.
After spending the morning in the north I hopped back on the metro and headed south, returning to the side of the city I was much more familiar with. Each ride costs only 50 cents, including transfers, which is great given the speed and frequency of the metro and better when considering that a taxi covering the same distance will run you $5 easily and take much longer. As I got off in the Poblado area the clouds began to gather and darken, and by the time I grabbed a cab to the hills where I had planned on visiting my friend's aunt at her new caf�/bakery, it had begun to rain.
(To my dismay I would be unable to take the pictures I wanted to shoot from the miradores high above the city, though as my luck would have it the sun appeared once again in the afternoon on my way to the airport, allowing me to get the pictures posted here.)
The caf�/bakery is called Fionna and is located right next to the Pinares del Rio shopping center off of Cra. 10. I highly suggest this place if you're looking for some good international cuisine with a taste of Colombia, and the pastries are fabulous. I spent a few hours chatting with Claudia before having to head back to my hotel to pay the bill, then run over to Sonria where I had a dentist appointment. While I've already mentioned the obsession in Colombia with beauty and the cosmetic enhancements available and affordable all over the city, I came to discover that a good smile is yet another phenomenon that has overtaken the country as well, especially Medell�n. Never have I seen so many people wearing braces, young and old, professional and unprofessional alike. There were police, soldiers, bartenders, students and streetwalkers with metal mouths. Given the low prices and good services in Medell�n, I took advantage and got myself a cheap cleaning and whitening before heading out to the airport.
To my chagrin I would arrive at the Medell�n airport only to discover that there were no direct flights to JFK on Tuesdays,

I haven't been able to push them past their limits very easily at all. I have only been running then for about 2,000 miles (3218 km). How long have you been running them? Do they hold up well after they start to wear? How much did you pay for them? I got mine, 235/40/18 for $330 u.s. dollars, shipped to my door in 2 days.
Check out my sig and profile(for mods), I'm using what mikie13 explaned about the open source EM. I just combined two maps together and now am making more power. Since it sounds like you know what your doing with cars, I'd suggest checking it out. It's ROM tuning your factory ECM, but you get to use all the good things about the factory programing that make the car very daily driveable. And you can still tune pretty much infinate adjustments to all you timing, boost, fuel, and so on that will make you more power. Here's my write-up after I flashed my stage2 map.
Just flashed XPT stage2 today, very impressed!

I really do like the tires as well, they handle very well. I got mine used so the price comparison would be irrelevant. However mine at 215/45/17. When they warm up they are awesome, right now i have almost no tread left so I will be in the market for new tires soon.
However, compared to my old Falken Azenis 215, they are not as sticky as those were, and those were only 205.
The next set of tires I may get are the Bridgestone RE01-R as I hear they are very good tires, but they wear out really quick.
As for OpenSource, thank you for the link. I will be doing some reading up on that. I have taken some very quick glances at your link, and saw the forums and also read some of the posts, and saw some logs
It looks quite interesting and the community seems very supportive of one another.
If I cannot find the funds for a Haltech then I may go that route, but I will need to find a stock ECU, I think i read somewhere a website that you can purchase stock ECU's, but I forgot the link. It all depends if my friend can get me a good deal on the Haltech. I would also like to use that opportunity to learn how to wire standalones to the WRX harness.
Anyway, your car is also very nice! Cannot wait to see pics of it with the front lip and rear lip!

Dealing with school morningsSubmitted by Pete Olds on Thu, 04/09/2015 - 14:10
The routine of a school morning with a child on the spectrum can be challenging, frustrating, stressful.
Mornings are a lot less manic now. I have time to get ready and make a real breakfast while my son makes his way through his schedule. We can both leave ready for the day without feeling so rushed. And you know what? He's a lot happier that he's getting more than just toast for breakfast.

Letter: Big money, gerrymandering rig political system against change
Rita Wolper, Palm City
Letter: Big money, gerrymandering rig political system against change
The adage, "Money is power" was never more true than it is today. When a candidate runs for office today, all he/she has to do is visit with maybe, five very rich donors from either party. Some of these rich donors are Sheldon Adelson, the Koch brothers, Donald Trump or a big union, to name a few. In fact, many Republicans who want to run for president in 2016 visited Adelson in Las Vegas recently. Now, going to small donors isn't even necessary. Is this our new form of democracy?
Also, prescription prices under Part D of the Medicare law weren't subject to competitive bids (like the Department of Veterans Affairs). Is it because the big drug companies give hefty contributions to politicians?
Powerful money people also give to state and local politicians to court favor. Big money also buys TV, newspaper and radio ads. In fact, we're so bombarded by all these ads, it's hard to figure out what's even true.
Meanwhile, this Congress is so polarized because of gerrymandering that nothing seems to get done. With only 15 percent of our 435 districts considered competitive, it doesn't seem that much can change.
This Congress has passed the fewest bills, ever. Where are the jobs, immigration reform and, increasing the minimum wage bills, reforming Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security?
All the House seems to be able to do, was bring up a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act, 51 times. What a complete waste of a session. With all of this, why are candidates fighting tooth and nail to get elected?

The cervix is the lower, narrow opening of the uterus. It is covered by a thin layer of cells that are continually growing and being replaced. Certain factors, such as an infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), can cause cervical cells to begin to grow abnormally. These abnormal cells often go away without treatment, but in some women they will continue to grow and eventually turn into cancer.

For almost 25 years, I was a smoker. I began this unhealthy habit at a young age because I thought it was cool. I wish now that someone had explained then what it had taken me 25 years to realize: Not only did I put myself at risk, I may have endangered the ones I love because of the harmful effects of second-hand smoke exposure.

Washington Post Express film critic Kristen Page-Kirby is excited at how black the Oscars might look. Under the headline "Now, This Is More Like It," she wrote about looking ahead to next year's Oscar nominations and how "something dawned" on her: three films about black characters with black directors have a good shot at Best Picture.
"It's still early, of course, and there are some very white, very strong-looking movies yet to be released." Among the actors, Meryl Streep could ruin Oprah Winfrey's Oscar chances:
I listed three films about black characters ("12 Years a Slave," "Lee Daniels' The Butler" and "Fruitvale Station") that I think have a good shot at best picture. The directors of those films are black, too (though I don't think "Fruitvale's" Ryan Coogler will make the final cut for best director). Chiwetel Ejiofor, Forest Whitaker and Michael B. Jordan all have shots at best actor (though, again, I think "Fruitvale's" Jordan will just miss a nomination).
The Oscars have been getting more diverse over the years, but not as much as you might think. Last year's best picture nominees included two films with black major characters: "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Django Unchained." Both had white directors. 2012's nominees included "The Help," which also had a white director. In 2011, not one of the 10 best picture nominees had a black major character. Zero. That year, toys were better represented than African-Americans.
Assuming I'm right -- a dangerous assumption when it comes to the Academy Awards -- 2013 could signal a major shift in Oscar history. For example, I think the best supporting actress nominees will include Octavia Spencer, Oprah Winfrey and Lupita Nyong'o. With only two slots left, it's possible that more black women than white women will get nods in the category - and this by an organization that has nominated black women only 27 times in 85 years.
It's still early, of course, and there are some very white, very strong-looking movies yet to be released, including "Dallas Buyers Club," "Nebraska" and "August: Osage County."
And, no matter when I do my picks, I'll be wildly wrong, because I always am. One thing is certain, though: High-caliber American filmmaking is actually starting to look like America.
In Friday's Express, Page-Kirby also declared "After having more time to think about '12 Years a Slave,' I've changed my mind about something. I always thought the greatest performance in American film was Sean Penn's in 'Dead Man Walking.' Not anymore. Congratulations, Mr. [Chiwetel] Eliofor."

Hello All,
My question is that i run on the following days, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sat. I'm looking to cross train on Wednesday & Friday. I was thinking of spinning what are your views on this & my cross training is to help me get fitter and help with pb's. Is this the right cross training to help with that or not?
So you do three classes of spinning on top off your running? jee that good, do you find it helps with your running, I have problems running at a fast sustained pace? Humm Thank you for the reply
Cheers that's great thank you
Just love runners world folk for helping out
Spinning is fantastic, I've been going at least twice a week for about 2 years now. I feel that I work at a higher intensity than I could if I was running for the same period of time. It works slightly different muscles to running and is low impact. It's nice to have an alternative to running which is not affected by the weather and introducing variety into your training is always a good idea both physically and mentally. Beware though that Spinning is just as addictive as running

|When should my daughter have her first visit with a healthcare provider for gynecological health?
At Women's Wellness Center, we provide primary care for girls aged 7 and above. This allows pre-teen and adolescent girls to experience the specialized care that only a female-centered environment can provide. Our Family Nurse Practitioners have a special interest in educating young women, to start them on the path of being proactive about their health.
A young woman's first routine visit with a healthcare provider to address gynecologic health should occur at around the age of 12 to 14. Usually, this initial visit involves a discussion about things like healthy lifestyle and prevention of problems. It's an educational visit, designed to put the young patient at ease in the environment under non-threatening circumstances. Then, if problems do arise during puberty and adolescence, your daughter has already established a relationship with her healthcare provider, so she will feel more comfortable during the visit.
It is recommended that the first gynecologic exam with Pap be scheduled at age 21, or earlier in some cases if the individual is sexually active. We feel it is important for women not to fear their annual gynecologic visit, so we are especially attentive to making that first exam a positive experience, no matter what the age of the patient. All of the providers at Women's Wellness Center provide counseling and examinations with the utmost in sensitivity.

BBC Review
This third album from the Canadian singer will chase away the winter chills.
Mike Diver 2011
Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Mangan has an impressive CV – he's toured with the likes of The Decemberists and Okkervil River; his second album, Nice, Nice, Very Nice, was nominated for the Polaris Prize; and he's graced festival stages as prestigious as those found at Glastonbury and, stateside, Sasquatch. But this hard work, particularly domestically, is yet to translate into widespread recognition on these shores. Oh Fortune, arriving too late in the year to make the annual best-of lists, is unlikely to change that standing; but this is a delightful collection which could become a late-2011 favourite amongst fans of Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and even Mumford & Sons.
His third album presents a fuller sound than its predecessor, Mangan – a beardy 28-year-old with eyes that could tell a thousand tales without him so much as opening his mouth – now confident to let his voice tear away from the alt-folk crowd that he was once a part of. Instead, he leads rallying calls on tracks such as Post War Blues – a close cousin of Mumford's more boot-stomping fare – and the title-track, which rides gentle Americana undercurrents to a state of completion that could, in a parallel world where quality genuinely equals success, have whole venues singing along to its dipping and soaring vocals. Of the gentler cuts, which do still dominate, Leaves, Trees, Forest is a particular highlight, gorgeous harmonies drifting behind simple but catchy acoustic motifs. Here, Mangan reins in his voice, speaking rather than singing for the most part. Chamber-pop-styled opener About as Helpful as You Can Be Without Being Any Help at All has an air of The Delgados about it – if the Scottish indie legends had developed a penchant for simmering shanties after a Buckfast session too many.
It's the quiet ones you've got to look for, so they say – whoever 'they' actually are – and by releasing Oh Fortune in the UK now, some months after it emerged in the US and Canada, has ensured its voice will hardly be heard by music writers and mainstream listeners alike. But it's a set that does reward investigation, perhaps not with lasting love but certainly first-few-plays impressions which will last into the New Year. If your albums of 2011 have been those by any aforementioned parallels, pick this up to chase away the winter chills.

Choices determine life's path
Blind faith, with a dose of sometimes subtle instinct, is what often determines the opportunities we choose to grab onto and those we let pass by.
Mother Nature is surely in charge
Mother Nature sure knows how to play a cruel April Fools' joke. Following a week of sunshine, greening pastures and blooming flowers, rain, snow and howling winds attacked most of Ohio the beginning of April.
Life used to be more deliberate
Hard work and dreams of what could be, pushed early Americans to survive.
Nobody writes notes anymore
The days of the hand-written love letter are numbered. No lovely hand-written love letters will be treasured, kept under lock and key, one day taking you back in time.
Lessons from farm linger a lifetime
There are circumstances that come to shape us, both the paths we choose, and those chosen for us.
News bug bit me at an early age
Our big old black and white TV was often turned on only briefly in the evening, after the night milking and supper, just in time for the news.
Always our sunshine, you will be missed
The number of people from far and wide who came to pay their respects to Bob Sutherland, the honor guards, the presentation of the flag, a 21-gun salute, all made up an unforgettable, impressive tribute.
From simple to sensational
With the rebuilding of the Weisberg home after a devastating fire, a Sears Roebuck kit house went up and Goldie tells the family story of the next impressive step on their southern Ohio farm.
From inventions on farm to tragedies
Part two: Sutherland recounts more of the story of Goldie Weisberg and her family after they escaped Russia and settled in southern Ohio.
Escaping Russia, becoming American
Sutherland recounts the story of "Goldie" Weisberg, who escaped from Russia with her family and struggles to become an American.

Saturday Night (Poem)
Poem by: thomaskutz
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Saturday Night
Another Saturday night.
These kids drop by
On their way to find
their weekly high
It's not about the feeling
It's not about the fun
It's all about the image
They get when they're done.
No classy dinner
No fancy clothes
Each week it seems
They find lower lows
What don't they get?
About this life
There's more to this
Than Saturday night.
But they don't care
And they don't mind
That they're throwing away
All of their time.
Not time to be a kid
Not time to screw up
But learn already
That its time to grow up.
It doesn't make you cool
And it doesn't make you fly
To throw away your life
Because you get high.
Try just once
Try saying no
You might find happiness
You'd never have known.
Or choose not to listen
Like most of you will
But think long and hard
Before you pop that next pill.
Because the next time you do
You may not see the day
That you can just move on
And try the other way.
It may not be popular
It may not be tight
But know there's a difference
Between wrong and right.
When it comes to your health
There's something you should do
Take care of yourself
Start brand new.
It's not too late now
To turn back and see
The life that's waiting
Is not just a dream.
There's love that's real
There's things that are fun
In this life you could lead
If you leave your other one.
It may seem impossible
But I encourage you to try
And life may take you
On a much smoother ride.
But you have to decide
If you want to amount
To more than this life
And make it actually count.
If you don't choose wisely
Then don't be surprised to find
That your life may often
Put you in quite a bind.
It isn't for anyone
To convince you or not
But for you to realize
It will help you a lot.
You don't have to like this
Or even enjoy the rhymes
But you ought to think twice
Before the next time.
What will it take?
Someone to die?
For you to see
That drinking takes lives.
Not only that
But smoking too
It'll destroy your brain
Then it'll kill you.
Stop being too cool
And start being smart
Because one day
It will all fall apart.

Italy in 4 days, next time I plan better
... pick up my ticket for the concert, I wandered the streets a little. I enjoyed a coffee (espress) with Nutella ice cream in it. Was a little surprised by the tiny size, but was none the less satisfied with the treat. Concert ticket in hand, I took to the streets. I had a little over an hour to burn and sitting and waiting was not something that appealed to me. Wasn't overly excited about walking around in the heat, but we pick our battles right? I found myself walking through ...
I'm Falling For You
Today we day tripped to Pisa. Situated 80km away from Firenze it only took and hour to reach by regional train.
Upon arrival we obtained a map and made the 30 minute trek to our appointment to climb the Campanile (aka The Leaning Tower of Pisa). The tower is in the Piazza dei Miracoli, along with the Baptistry, Duomo and Camposanto Monumentale.
294 relatively easy steps later, ...
All roads lead to Rome
... bell tower. We took a few cliche photos trying to hold the tower up but stupid tourists kept getting in the way. Went for a wander in the ridiculous heat, had a snack and it was time to jump back on the coach. I am pretty impressed with all the roman architecture so far and we haven't even hit Rome ... Yet. I'm thinking about making my own roman style bell tower in New Zealand ...
Travel Day and a fly by of Pisa
... train was delayed (seemed they all were today), but we checked the schedule and there should be one more train leaving for Nice around 10. Well, as soon as we walked out to the front of the station to check the big board for the platform notification we saw the train disappear from the board... Everyone in the station who was set to take the same train to Nice seemed completely confused and we were trying to find someone to answer our questions. Finally ...
To Lean ...Or Not to Lean.... That is the Question
... As you drive into the town surrounded by a wall, you can count the top of their bell towers. Matteo drove us into the village where we walked and shopped through the towns stores finding a few more goodies. Strolled through the Amphitheater and to cathedral Frediana, a church not as grandiose as the others but awesome in its own rite. We walked by Cathedral Santa Michele and owent to lunch, Bucasanantonio has been in business since 1782, (so a relatively new place) fresh Pasta ...

With California facing one of the most severe droughts on record, Governor Brown declared a drought State of Emergency in January and directed state officials to take all necessary actions to prepare for water shortages.
Tony Mendoza, a Los Angeles native and former school teacher, was elected on November 4, 2014 to represent the nearly one million residents of the newly-drawn 32nd Senate District. Senator Mendoza previously served in the State Assembly from 2006 to 2012 representing the 56th District.
Senator Mendoza grew up in South Central Los Angeles. He is the first in his family of nine children to graduate from college. He earned his Bachelor's Degree from California State University, Long Beach and his teaching credential at California State University, Los Angeles. He also obtained his Executive Masters in Leadership from the University of Southern California. For more than 10 years, Mr. Mendoza taught elementary school in East Los Angeles.
In 1997, he was elected to the Artesia City Council, becoming the first Latino and youngest councilmember at the age of 25. He made history again a year later when he became mayor. Mendoza served three successful terms on the Artesia City Council before running for the State Assembly in 2006.
While serving in the State Assembly, Senator Mendoza authored significant legislation signed into law: Under AB 97, California became the first state in the nation to ban the use of Trans Fats in food preparation in all restaurants; AB 1291 allows judges to sentence the parents of children with first-time gang offenses to anti-gang parenting education classes; and AB 22 prohibits the use of consumer credit reports in the hiring process.
During his first year, Senator Mendoza successfully authored ten bills signed by Governor Jerry Brown. Some highlights include: SB 212, which addresses the proliferation of Butane Hash Oil and methamphetamine manufacturing in residential neighborhoods by making it an aggravated felony to manufacture the drugs within close proximity to occupied residences and structures; SB 708 which addresses childhood hunger by improving access to the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs; SB 792 which protects children in day care by requiring workers and volunteers be immunized against measles, pertussis and influenza; SB 505 which ensures that California's Voter Bill of Rights and other election materials are provided to voters in plain, accessible, and easily understandable language; and SB 422 which modernizes outdated law by deleting the derogatory term "alien" from the California Labor Code, as a definition for an immigrant individual and many more.
Senator Mendoza is Chair of the Senate Labor and Industrial Relations Committee. He also is a member of the Appropriations, Business & Professions, Education and Transportation & Housing Committees. Additionally, he serves on the California Commission for Economic Development and the California Workforce Development Board.
Senator Mendoza lives in Artesia with his wife, Leticia, their three daughters and son.
The 32nd Senate District includes the cities and communities of Artesia, Bellflower, Buena Park, Cerritos, Commerce, Downey, Hacienda Heights, Hawaiian Gardens, La Habra Heights, La Mirada, Lakewood, Los Nietos, Montebello, Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Rose Hills, Santa Fe Springs, South Whittier and Whittier.

How cute are Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz? The two were spotted getting cozy at an Ed Sheeran concert on August 27!
Neither Brooklyn Beckham, 15, nor Chloe Grace Moretz,17, have confirmed their dating relationship, but they sure are seen out together a whole lot! On Aug. 27, the two attended an Ed Sheeran concert in LA — what a cute date!
Chloe Moretz & Brooklyn Beckham At Ed Sheeran Concert: Couple Attends Together
Though they entered separately, they weren't sneaky enough — they were spotted together inside looking pretty cozy, as seen above!
They were also dressed to impress — Brooklyn looked the spitting image of his father, David Beckham! We can't think of a better person to get tips from, quite honestly.
His look is actually similar to what he wore while supporting Chloe at the premiere of If I Stay in LA on Aug. 20, though this time he opted for dark, skinny jeans and black boots.
Chloe looked date-ready in a sheer white lace top with her black bra peeking through, dark blue jeans and black boots. With very natural makeup — if any makeup at all — she looked casually stunning.
Brooklyn Beckham & Chloe Grace Moretz: He Is 'Totally Smitten' By Her
Brooklyn is "totally smitten" with Chloe, a source previously revealed to People mag. "Brooklyn is very sweet and shy, a really nice boy. Chloe is more sophisticated." How cute is that?
On relationships, Chloe told Flare magazine that 17 is "a tough age to fall in love: people change so quickly. I don't want to have to feel like I have to watch my step, 'cause I'm 17 and I shouldn't have to." Um, 17 or 34? She's the most mature teenager we've ever heard of! Obsessed with her.
We are totally loving this this couple — what about you, HollywoodLifers?
— Amanda Mitchell

Classes I Want You To Take
Registration time is nigh and I'm sure all of you are playing class-Tetris with discussion sections and labs and PDP's to make your vibrant Spring 2013 schedule on StudentLink. And hark! Could it be? You have space for an elective?! (Sorry to those of you who don't. Good luck.) Check out some classes you may have never known that BU offers.
These were found by browsing StudentLink, so I'm sure I missed some – feel free to add them to the comments. Also, things that seem interesting to me may seem incredibly boring to you … Don't be so hard to please!
I know you probably already took a language. But look at all the choices! Why not learn a little of another language? Even taking one semester of one of these would be so cool to keep in your arsenal of skills (what, that isn't a thing?). All elementary language classes start with the course code CAS L_ 111, where the letter after 'L' refers to the language.

I discovered this class after I already had taken my divisional requirement for a natural science with lab, but it looks awesome – someone else take it for me! According to the class description, you will analyze the physics in films such as: Speed; Armageddon; Independence Day; X-Men; The Sixth Sense; Contact.
Death and Immortality: CAS RN 106
This religion department class seems truly interesting; you're not human if you aren't fascinated by death. Course description: "Examines death as religious traditions have attempted to accept, defeat, deny, or transcend it. Do we have souls? Do they reincarnate? Other topics include cremation, ancestor worship, apocalypse, alchemy, AIDS, near-death experiences, other-world cosmologies."
Photography for Non-Majors: COM JO 305
Why not learn an artsy skill if you have the time for a class in it? This COM class requires professor permission to enroll. "Students learn the fundamentals of 35mm digital photography from the basics of image capture to processing and printing finished photographs, and an introduction to the use of photos in digital media."
Group Piano: CFA MU 151
Speaking of artsy skills… take a group music class in CFA! There are sections open to the BU community, and it would be nice to escape twice a week and pretend you're a snazzy jazz cat just taking out your midterm stress on the ivories (well, keyboards, probably).
FitRec PDPs
For less than two credits, you can take classes in ice skating, martial arts, general fitness, sports… Check out the PDP schedule here.
These are just a few of the classes you can take in the spring to explore new areas of interest, learn a new skill, or discover new perspectives. Have you taken a class that you'd love to recommend? Leave it in the comments.

Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."
Okay finished the 3 Challenge blocks that Interwoven one was a dosey! I definately will not be doing that one again. I am using a fat quarter pack of Christmas themed fabric I have had for a awhile. May go back and do the easy blocks not sure how big this would be with all the blocks.

After putting a new water pump and lower radiator hose on my 98 T&C, I decided to replace the thermostat and upper radiator hose. Glad I did. The hose was nearly shot. Have 162, 720 miles on the original factory parts. This is about a one hour job.
Along the way, I snapped some pictures.
Here is a tutorial guide to doing the job if you are so inclined:

It seems like our puppy (13 weeks or so) needs constant attention. This is a dog walked many times in the day in our snowy yard, taken to the park for walks in the parking lot (only place w/out snow), played with...she sleeps 'pretty well' (4 hour intervals at night) but lately she's so demanding.
I know a lot of pups spend more time 'alone' but she always has someone home and is 'getting spoiled.' My husband works nights and is wonderful with her in the day (playing/running). I am looking for work and home now myself almost 24 hours a day. Our son is actually getting less attention due to the puppy and her antics.
I know she's a baby but how do we make sure we aren't 'spoiling her?' We're all losing sleep and patience.

Pacific NW Hospice Foundation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to creating awareness of hospice services and supporting end of life care. Our mission is to fulfill the unmet needs of individuals and families in the communities we serve.
As part of our vision, we will utilize donated funds to support quality of life, to educate our communities about the value of hospice and to grant Gifted Wishes to make the end of life as meaningful and fulfilling as possible.
The hospice philosophy is a special concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a cure is no longer possible. The goal is to enable patients to continue an alert, pain-free life so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.
Recently viewed at our Honor The Journey Gala on May 8, 2016, this short video shares the stories of several of our Gifted Wishes of the past few years.
These stories were shared with the expressed permission of the Wish Recipient, though we often change names and other identifying details in an effort to preserve confidentiality when needed.
Our Most Recent Gifted Wish
We recently had the honor of sending a young man currently in hospice care to the Oregon Coast for some rest and relaxation with his family and friends. We were especially delighted to step in and fill the wishing shoes when another organization had to step down after initially granting his wish.
Read more about past Gifted Wishes here.
One of our missions is to create awareness around the work of hospice that is done by physicians, nurses, social workers, carers or anyone who touches a patients life during their time in hospice care.
To that end we would like to invite you to nominate your hospice carer or worker to be recognized monthly by the Pacific NW Hospice Foundation.

Wounds run deep after NAB's boardroom squabble
Page Tools
Forex marks the spot: a $360m loss led to Kraehe's demise.
Photo: Gabriele Charotte
The departure of chairman Graham Kraehe will end months of bitterness at NAB, writes Ruth Williams.
The deal is done. A pledge made 18 months ago to end a dispute on the National Australia Bank board has come to pass - chairman Graham Kraehe has stepped down in accordance with a peace-making contract struck with key shareholders.
Kraehe's decision to depart a year early from the board ended the campaign of dissident director Catherine Walter who, accusing the board of conflicts of interest, had demanded that multiple directors including Kraehe be sacked.
Indirectly, Walter succeeded in ousting Kraehe. It is little wonder that Kraehe is unwilling to comment on Walter, and whether NAB should be grateful for her activism. "I don't talk about individuals," Kraehe said when her name was mentioned. "But when I look back at that period, I think it was a crisis that created an opportunity."
Kraehe had been a NAB director since 1997, but his chairmanship began, and will always be associated with, the 2004 forex scandal and ensuing board spat. In January 2004, NAB admitted to a $180 million loss from fraudulent trading activity. This snowballed into $360 million, which led to the commissioning of an independent report, which led to one of the most bitter board dispute in Australian corporate history.
Eighteen month later, Kraehe is at pains to emphasise that he "feels positive" about what came out of that time - the restructure of the bank, new directors on the board and improved relationships with regulators. "I look back at it as an opportunity," he said. Again.
He says everything he set out to achieve as chairman has been achieved. Indeed, Kraehe feels the board is owed some credit for going as far as it did in reforming the bank. "I think everyone on the board and management accepts some responsibility," he said of the events of 2004. "That's why we have reacted so aggressively to those events and got on with fundamental change. A much easier option would have been to make some minor changes."
Kraehe will turn his attention to the issues of water infrastructure and the next generation of Australian business leaders, and will retain the chair at BHP spin-off BlueScope Steel.
As for NAB, he believes the bank has opportunities to explore in China, and sees the underperforming British holdings as a key difference between NAB and its three biggest rivals. And, despite the scandals, Kraehe maintains the NAB brand remains strong.
"We have the best banking franchise," he said, and then paused. "We perhaps didn't do as good a job as managing that franchise as we might have."

The Silent Bullet HTML version
9. The Terror In The Air
"There's something queer about these aeroplane accidents at Belmore Park," mused
Kennedy, one evening, as his eye caught a big headline in the last edition of the Star,
which I had brought uptown with me.
"Queer?" I echoed. "Unfortunate, terrible, but hardly queer. Why, it is a common saying
among the aeronauts that if they keep at it long enough they will all lose their lives."
"Yes, I know that," rejoined Kennedy; "but, Walter, have you noticed that all these
accidents have happened to Norton's new gyroscope machines?"
"Well, what of that" I replied. "Isn't it just barely possible that Norton is on the wrong
track in applying the gyroscope to an aeroplane? I can't say I know much about either the
gyroscope or the aeroplane, but from what I hear the fellows at the office say it would
seem to me that the gyroscope is a pretty good thing to keep off an aeroplane, not to put
on it."
"Why?" asked Kennedy blandly.
"Well, it seems to me, from what the experts say, that anything which tends to keep your
machine in one position is just what you don't want in an aeroplane. What surprises them,
they say, is that the thing seems to work so well up to a certain point--that the accidents
don't happen sooner. Why, our man on the aviation field tells me that when that poor
fellow Browne was killed he had all but succeeded in bringing his machine to a dead stop
in the air. In other words, he would have won the Brooks Prize for perfect motionlessness
in one place. And then Herrick, the day before, was going about seventy miles an hour
when he collapsed. They said it was heart failure. But to-night another expert says in the
Star --here, I'll read it: 'The real cause was carbonic-acid-gas poisoning due to the
pressure on the mouth from driving fast through the air, and the consequent inability to
expel the poisoned air which had been breathed. Air once breathed is practically
carbonic-acid-gas. When one is passing rapidly through the air this carbonic-acid-gas is
pushed back into the lungs, and only a little can get away because of the rush of air
pressure into the mouth. So it is rebreathed, and the result is gradual carbonic-acid-gas
poisoning, which produces a kind of narcotic sleep.'"
"Then it wasn't the gyroscope in that case" said Kennedy with a rising inflection.
"No," I admitted reluctantly, "perhaps not."
I could see that I had been rash in talking so long. Kennedy had only been sounding me
to see what the newspapers thought of it. His next remark was characteristic.
"Norton has asked me to look into the thing," he said quietly. "If his invention is a failure,
he is a ruined man. All his money is in it, he is suing a man for infringing on his patent,

Wanda Redmond and her buckskin mare, Dolly, are the best of friends. The log barn in the background is on the Routt County and Colorado registers of historic places.

Tom Ross: South Routt's Redmond family carries agriculture values forward
Routt County lost another member of an elder generation of ranchers Oct. 20 when James T. "Jack" Redmond died at his family's historic ranch house at the edge of the Flat Tops on Bull Creek. Redmond was emblematic of a generation that grew up in the Great Depression and weathered the tumult and shortages of World War II to deliver their farms, ranches and families to more prosperous times.

Rethinking the use of my compression sack…
Anyone out there have any experience with damage to their sleeping bag from constant over-compressing? My gut thought is that down bags should only be smashed down so much, so many times (before loft elements and shell fabric are compromised).
What other/better techniques are there to get size down AND keep your sleeping bag dry?
(I use the Marmot Hydrogen with a Sea-To-Summit eVac 4L dry sack)Jan 18, 2009 at 11:56 am #1471015
Joe WestingMember
I have not personally tried this but many have recommended this method on this site. First, insert a waterproof pack liner into your bag. Next, push your bag (not in a stuff sack) down to the bottom of liner. Finally, put all the rest of your gear into the liner. The gear on top of the bag will keep it relatively compressed but not so much that it damages the bag (like it will in a compression sack). Because the bag is in the bottom of your backpack, it will fill in all the empty space/corners that are typically wasted. Some have reported that their sleeping bag takes up less space using this method than when they used a compression sack. Especially since you are planning a long thru-hike, do NOT use a compression sack if you want to make sure your bag has a long, productive life.Jan 18, 2009 at 2:32 pm #1471046

I might use a compression stuff sack for my clothes bag. Never for any high loft insulating gear.Jan 18, 2009 at 3:07 pm #1471047

A 4 L sack sounds far too small to me. I use a 13L dry bag (also Sea-to-Summit but without the "eVac" feature) for my sleeping bag. I try to leave the sleeping bag in there as short a time as possible (i.e. I pack it just before taking the tent down and unpack it as soon as the tent is up).Jan 18, 2009 at 9:06 pm #1471123

I've been compressing my synthetic summer bag each camping trip for the past 5 years. It's lost some of its fluff, but the difference in insulative properties probably isn't consequential given the climate it gets used in. I wouldn't want to do the same with a nice, volumeous down bag, though.
I too only keep a bag stuffed as long as it needs to be; sometimes I'll even unpack it and let it air out during long lunch breaks.Jan 18, 2009 at 9:09 pm #1471124

I do the same thing as John with my synthetic bag.Jan 19, 2009 at 5:14 pm #1471363

Me, too, Mary D. Minimum time, minimally compressed = more warm nights in the sack.

Arians are generally adventurous people, which comes from a combination of their energetic and confident personalities. They can make great leaders and can inspire others due to their creativity and courageousness. There is a flip side to their personality, however. Arians tend to be selfish, which can lead to them alienate themselves from their friends, and can often take risks that lead to ruin. If your friend or partner is an Arian you could play an important role in stabilising their more wilder side.
Arians work well with other fire signs, so if your partner or friend is a Leo or Sagittarius you're well-matched. Air signs also work well with fire signs, like the elements in the material world air supports fire. Air signs include Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
Sadly if you like someone who is an earth or a water sign you're probably not going to be a great match, as like in the material world water and earth put out fire.
If your star sign is Leo then you're likely to be a highly courageous person with the strength to match. The use of a lion as the symbol of Leo is no accident - many of the traits of lions can also be found in people born in the Leo star sign. You're likely to highly protective, but to others this can come across badly. Some might think you're pushing others around or that your ego is too big.
But the protectiveness also means you're likely to be generous to those around you. You're also quite an optimistic person. For you the glass is always half full rather than half empty. Enthusiasm follows you around, and can lead you to inspire others.
Your ego can get in the way with potential partners, however, as you always like to be the top dog. You should avoid star signs with other egoistic character traits. Generally fire signs are good matches as are air signs. You're likely to get along due to your common drive for freedom.
Sagittarians are great people to be around. They're always fun and filled with life. They'll always see the best in a bad situation and enjoy spending time with those who can also have fun no matter what life throws at them.
They're very independent people who don't like being restricted though, and this can cause problems with being in a relationship with some other star signs. They don't want to be confined to one life course without the option of changing when they feel they need to.
While this might restrict choices of partners, other characteristics help in a relationship. Generally Sagittarians are trusting and open minded with their partners, even if sometimes they are too frank themselves.
Fun loving can be great, but if a Sagittarian gets bored they'll create their own fun in often reckless ways. It's important to keep them occupied. Sagittarians work best with other fire star signs as well as the air signs.
Sagittarians come in two different breeds: the sporty and the intellectual types. They often find themselves in long friendships with those of the same type.

Mel B is going to be on Dancing With The Stars. I think they should get all the Spice Girls for the show.
Gwen Stefani's band and crew were told to get rid of their drugs before crossing into Canada. Hey at least they don't pretend they are clean.
Did you know Josh Hartnett had manly buttocks? Does that mean he has hair all over his ass or is it just the shape that we're talking about here?
Becki Newton and her husband met in a really cool way.
Lindsay Lohan and Howie Day together. Not really, but since they are both at Promises, I'm sure it's just a matter of time or at least the rumors. So, I thought we would start one here just to see what happens. The way dirt diggers work is to check the headlines and links. The next headline will be an experiment and nothing more. Let's see if anyone picks it up. Remember it is just a what if scenario. It has no basis in reality. Simply the kind of fluff that tabloids do to see how gullible we are.

Strong and Weak Convergence for Asymptotically Almost Negatively Associated Random Variables
School of Mathematical Science, Anhui University, Hefei 230039, China

The strong law of large numbers for sequences of asymptotically almost negatively associated (AANA, in short) random variables is obtained, which generalizes and improves the corresponding one of Bai and Cheng (2000) for independent and identically distributed random variables to the case of AANA random variables. In addition, the Feller-type weak law of large number for sequences of AANA random variables is obtained, which generalizes the corresponding one of Feller (1946) for independent and identically distributed random variables.

A good place to start is your immediate neighbourhood. Often there are significant resources right on your doorstep. One of the enduring premises of gardening (vege gardening in particular) is that it shouldn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Many a garden has been initiated with thrift in mind, so it comes as no surprise that gardeners are, generally speaking, a generous bunch who enjoy sharing plants, knowledge and gossip over morning tea.
There are plenty of lucrative avenues to explore in the acquisition of free gardening materials as well.
A good place to start is your immediate neighbourhood. Often there are significant resources right on your doorstep. Four valuable items that immediately spring to mind are cardboard, bamboo, dried leaves and old wooden pallets. In garden speak, these items translate into mulch, structure, compost and compost bins.
Supermarkets and service stations are good sources of cardboard boxes and some places are happy for you to uplift wooden pallets as well. Cardboard is an excellent mulching layer in the garden, either on its own or as an underlay for more permanent materials.
It can also be used directly on the beds themselves. Now is a great time to get into some weed suppression. Bamboo is often regarded as an invasive weed and this is true of most varieties but some are a little more treasured. Before you chop into the bamboo grove at the local reserve, be sure to make a positive identification - or better still, ring someone in authority just to check first. The benefits of bamboo to the home gardener are plentiful and obvious: from stakes or tripods for the beans and tomatoes, to stylish Japanese-style fencing or water features.
Deciduous trees are an invaluable source of dried leaves. Our local school has a collection of mature deciduous trees that dump mountains of leaves in autumn and drive the caretakers mad with their relentless littering of the school grounds. They are more than happy for us to deplete their leaf mountain and we are happy to oblige, as they are perfect for winter mulch around leeks and brassicas. They are also a valuable carbon component in your compost bin and can be made into much sought-after leaf mould. Certain varieties are considered more desirable than others however. Maples, liquid ambers and plane trees are regarded as having superior decomposition qualities to oak, for instance. Pine needles also make great mulch especially around citrus trees.
Wrapping up the local top four is the wooden packaging pellet. As mentioned earlier these can often be picked up from the supermarket, the wholesaler or anywhere else where you see them looking empty and abandoned. As they are made from untreated timber they are perfect for compost bin construction.
The final port of call is the dump but, if you're anything like me, taking a list might be a wise starting point if you don't want your yard to get too untidy.
The dump offers a range of exciting gardening friends and can even throw up the odd Renoir print or a copper-clad wall hanging of a knight in armour (both enthusiastically received by my children). On the gardening front though, there are tyres for growing potatoes in, old carpet and underlay for suppressing stubborn weeds, roofing iron and timber for creating screens or bins. Treasure at the right price.

730N (RHR) Navigation
There are numerous threads about the 730Ns navigation and voice commands on this site, but I thought it would be helpful to start a new thread since many of the problems with the 730N seem to be corrected. My vehicle was built in January 2012 and I did not receive the manual that should accompany the 730N. I could utilize the basic functions of the navigation system, but the voice commands particularly eluded me. Once I read the manual, I was enlightened to the reserved words, barge in functionality, and menu hierarchy as well as short cuts without the manual, I may have never enjoyed some of the advanced features. If you Google 730N (RHR), there are sites that have downloadable manuals in pdf format. If you want a hard copy, the number to use is 1-877-847-7166. They already know to send it out free. Be ready with the model designation of the unit - 730N(RHR). It takes 3 to 5 business days via UPS.
Re: 730N (RHR) Navigation
Yep, I had the same experience with some of the voice commands appearing to not work at all, even after having read the manual. In one particular case it turned out to be my interpretation of the instructions.
"Find POI" and/or "Find POI NAME" seemed to always return the results VILLAGE INN.
I finally saw a post mention simply saying "Find" (say name), ex "Find McDonalds"
Ah ha, finally success!
Simple case examples like this go a long way in any kind of software documentation.
Re: 730N (RHR) Navigation
The database seems a bit under maintained also. I have found several restaurants either not listed or listed under names that were used several years ago. The travel link warns of road hazards, yet when I attempt to find the hazard it is non-existent. The gas price at a local station last week was off by 7 cents a gallon. Like the unit, but it needs work.
