#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
Here come the chanters trying to CYA!!!!!
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 05, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, February 05, 2014
Ok so here is another one of 105 complaints stating this company didn't pay out on a policy. No kidding!!!! Go on the internet and see how many other lawsuits have been filed against Combined for this fraudulent practice. Probably was sold to you knowing full well they wouldn't pay because of a pre exsisting condition. This is what they don't want you to know and pray that that the person they are selling the policy too is too ignorant to actually read before they sign it. This is why you will normally find Combined chanters in trailer parks and really bad neighborhoods. Not because these are the people who need the insurance (by the way they do) but because they hope this is where all the stupid people are and therefore have a better chance of selling crappy policies. I really hope you win your lawsuit if you have filed one. By the way don't listen to the chanters here. The reason they are rebutting you is because anyone with half a brain in their head is Googling this company (by the way they still haven't heard of computers in this company which is why their chanters cary around price books..really???) That is the people who are looking to buy a policy and anyone contacted by them to actually work there. Sorry Chanters, busted again.

#2 UPDATE Employee
your "Claim" that has yet to be paid.
SUBMITTED: Monday, February 03, 2014POSTED: Monday, February 03, 2014
First I would like to state that "if" in fact you have a valid claim, we will pay. I offer this policy all day everyday and get people paid on valid claims! We have a 12 month exclusion on pre-existing conditions. All of my accident claims get paid within 3-5 business days. However, if you have a claim for a sickness and you have a policy that coveres a sickness and you have a claim that are filing before you have had the policy for one year... it will be "looked into" by the company. We are doing our due diligence and have that right. Before you go ripping my company to shreds call your agent!! Thats what we are here for. We offered the policy to you, we are to file the claims for you and follow up. I personally handle all of my customers claims and highly advise them not to take it upon themselves as it will take longer for the claim to get paid.
Best of luck to you!!

#3 Consumer Comment
Have you read your WRITTEN policy?
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 19, 2014POSTED: Sunday, January 19, 2014
What reason(s) do they give for the "delay" in paying" You have asked, right?
IF they ARE violating the terms of the actual WRITTEN policy, immediately notify your states insurance commission of this.
Or you could just embarass yourself by doing so without knowing the actual terms.
Many policies have provisions that are based on any other insurances you recceive benefits from.
Perhaps you have been Ripped off, but you need to know your policy's provisions and your rights.

Cash Advance offered me a $1500 - $5000.00 loan. My credit score came back low so they wanted me to show them I could cover the payment. They asked me to put the money on a Green Dot money pack to verify the amount. They then started saying that they were having trouble with the wire transfer of the funds into my wife's account,so I gave them the direct deposit info for my Ready Debit account. Theu called me back and said they were having trouble with my account also. He said that he tried five times and he was charged $65.00 each time. While he said he was wiring my loan he was downloading my payment into an encrypted account. I called the Green Dot customer service and had them trace funds. They got back on the phone with me once they hax my $230.00 and said he sent it Western Union. Then he said I'll give you eight numbers to pick up the money but I needed to send him $220.00 to pay for Western Union and he would give the other two numbers that I needed to pickup the money from Western Union. That's when I found out they had taken my first $230.00. When I asked about the money he said he wired the amount of the loan plus my $230.00. My wife called both bank accounts and there was not one attempt to transfer any funds to our accounts!!!!! We talked to about four different loan officers and loan processer and the CEO. I would say the whole office is in on it. They also were all from India by th sound of there voices. I used a Green dot money pack

Yes - 46%
- Anything owned or operated by a public agency is subject to the public through open records. There may be some validity to deleting posts of a profane or offensive nature, but not just because the agency doesn't like the comment(s).
- If it's the Internet, it's public. If I can post it for anyone to see, it's public.
- If the government agency opens up the page for public comment, then they really can't complain about the comments. One way around this would be for comments to be submitted to a "moderator" who could choose which comments to post; then the public could not have an expectation that every comment would get posted.
- If you set up a page to allow comments by users, you have made it so. Once you have done that you can't pick and choose. If you want to avoid negative comments and only use the page for information distribution and PR, then set it up that way!
- My tax dollars pay for it!
- If they have established a public social network page forum, then it is open to both positive and negative comments, and according to open records acts it should not delete public information. If government agencies can investigate citizens' network pages during a so-called investigation, than they are open to the same rules. They are not above the law!
- If it's paid for with public funds, then it's the people's site.
No - 49%
- First, it excludes those (yes, they do exist) that have chosen not to patronize Facebook. Second, it is an absolutely self-selected sample with only those most interested or involved participating.
- Can a person go to a public forum bulletin board located in town hall and thumbtack any message they want on it and expect it to stay there? I don't think so.
- Public agencies should have the right to delete any and all content. Public agencies are not required by law to have social media websites. Would a city/county/etc. council allow an individual the right to "hijack" public meetings without requiring a certain amount of decorum? Process ... keeps order. If someone wants to post a nasty comment about a public entity, they should use their own social media accounts to do so.
- A non-obscene comment has a right to be posted as a matter of free speech, but there is no obligation to keep it posted. Cities and towns don't have budgets or time to develop complex rules, etc., to define these things. These pages have been developed as a courtesy, to get information out, but not for keeping ALL outside comments posted.
- I believe a "public forum" to be open to the entire community, and social media does not provide that.
- If a private party has a right to delete comments why wouldn't any other page owner?
- Facebook is not a public forum in the defined sense of "public forums." A member of the public chooses to join that agency's page, whether as a "friend" or as "liking" it. Once they do that, they are governed by Facebook's privacy policy — NOT the government's.
- Not enough people participate in Facebook.
I don't know - 6%
- We set up a Facebook page as an additional method of informing the public, and meant it to be used more like a physical bulletin board. At the time it was set up, we did not have an official website. Posts and comments that had expired did get deleted so that anyone visiting the page would have only the most current information. We did, however, print a copy of the page before deleting posts and comments so we do have a record on file.
- In the case of Facebook, if you have to request permission to see the content, then it may not be truly a "public" forum.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH Holly Warlick
(Opening Statement)
"The first four minutes of the game we turned the ball over too much for us but we settled down and I think today we proved that we are not just a three point shooting team. We did not makea three point shot and we told out plrayers our goal is to get the ball in the paint. We had 50 points in the paint and that's what they were striving to do. Make them defend us, whether it was our post players or our guards. Shekinna [Stricklen] and Glory [Johnson] stepped up big for us. They made plays. Shekinna made some defensive stops and that's what we need from her. We need Shekinna to be not just an All-American on paper, but she needs to prove it every day in practice and every day when we play. Glory is not far behind. We rely a lot on Glory and her presence inside. They did a heck of a job today."
(on playing without point guard Ariel Massengale)
"It was a little bit of a blow to us with Massengale out, but we have to be sure we handle it and move on."
(on Massengale's impact so early in her career)
"She is a great point guard. You can't teach the instinct of a point guard. That is a sign of what Ariel Massengale is as a point guard and what she means to this team. She is a great leader, she leads by example, she is smart and she sees the whole floor. She tells the guards everything to do. Great point guards see things and get the ball to whoever needs it, when they need it... It doesn't matter if she is a freshman or a senior. That is not taught, what Massengale has. IT is just a God-given talent and she has taken hold of it and developed into a very nice player."
(on the support for Pat Summitt on the road)
"It is amazing. I think that when you see the impact that Pat has had at the University of Tennessee and we go out and we see fans wearing `We Back Pat' t-shirts on, it is incredible. I was really excited that Pat got the Maggie Dixon Courage award. We all knew what she stood for and we are very proud that Pat had the opportunity to represent Maggie in this way. Pat has a tremendous following and always will. I think it is because not only has she been great for women's basketball players, but she has preached to our players being a woman first and being self-sufficient. She started a real long time ago trying to help develop the game and I think the game is so well on its way. She has a tremendous following and it's a tribute to Pat and what she has done over her career."
SENIOR FORWARD Alicia Manning
(on playing 32 minutes against DePaul)
"That's why we have Heather Mason out there training us all summer long. It was fun to finally get out there. I always just said, `Wait for my time.' The coaches gave me my time today so it felt really good to get out there and get some minutes."
(on her playing time)
"The thing that gets me is how competitive I am. I just want to get out there and compete and do what I can to help my team out. That's kind of hard, but I trust my teammates that they're going to go out there and do just as well. And they have been."
(on the Lady Vols' trip to New York)
"It's a lot of fun. We've walked around, seen the city, a little bit of shopping and a lot of eating. It's great to see different places, especially playing here at Madison Square Garden. It's an honor and I think I can speak for my teammates as well."
(on whether the team talked about its first road game, a loss to Virginia)
"We just like to stay in the present. What's done is done and we can't change it. Live in the present and do what we can."
SENIOR GUARD Shekinna Stricklen
(on going back to the point position after the injury to Massengale)
"Clearly you could see in the first half I was thinking too much, thinking `I know that I'm not a true point guard but I really have to play like one.' In the second half Pat came up to me and said, `Play your game and you will be fine.' That's why I came out in the second half pushing the ball in transition, looking for my teammates in transition and also trying to get to the basket."
(on the effects of playing the point on shooting
"I think because I am thinking a lot [shooting is negatively impacted]. Going back to the point is something I just have to get comfortable with. It is temporary. It is a hard spot to fill, especially after [Ariel Massengale] who is a great point guard. She did a lot for this team. Filling the spot for her is a big spot to fill but it's something that this team needs. Going in under control I know the position, played it for two years, so I am staying positive. My teammates are great behind me and confident with me. They were positive with me throughout the whole game. That's something that makes me feel great."
SENIOR FORWARD Glory Johnson
(on the play of Alicia Manning)
"She is a beast. Even in practice, when she goes she goes hard. In this game - 12 points, 12 boards and four steals. That's A-Town, that's Alicia Manning. She is aggressive. She has always been an aggressive player and when she comes in off the bench that aggressive, the jump - we definitely needed that."
(on Manning contributing inside)
"She can [contribute inside]. In practice she is always doing the post drills. She is capable of shooing the outside jumper but in practice she works with the posts a lot so she can post up any guard that guards her at any point in time."

Raise A Glass To Bring in the New Year, but Don't Drive
Raise A Glass To Bring in the New Year, but Don't Drive
SALINAS, Calif.-- The majority of people rang in the New Year with some celebratory drinks, and police officers knew that meant a higher potential for drinking and driving. Police say there is nothing wrong with bringing in the New Year with a champagne cheers, but they worry about people do after that. Salinas Police were reminding people that it's never a good idea to get in a car and drink no matter what day it is, but they still have to be prepared for the reality that New Year's Eve has a bigger potential for that to happen. According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving last year's new years,after midnight toasts, seventy people were killed in drunk driving crashes nationwide. Therefore, after you cheers to 2014 and knock back that last drink, think twice before getting behind the wheel.
"Their driver's license can be suspended. They can be arrested, and put in jail. There would be up to $10,000 expense that they could have with court fees, classes, and attorney fees," a sobering fact Officer Jeff Munoz with Salinas Police Department is reminding people about."We see fatal collisions from drinking and driving all the time, and how it affects both lives, and all of their families."
Munoz, just got out of Court Tuesday for a driving under the influence cases that killed two people, it isn't his first case involving a fatal car accident, and it won't be his last.
Munoz says there's no reason to drink and drive on the holiday because, "even if it takes a $50 cab fee, it's a lot less than if you get arrested for a DUI or taking someone's life."
Salinas Police will had patrols out and asked others who weren't drinking to be vigilant as well because "a lot of things that help the police is people calling 911 when they see people bouncing off the curbs or bouncing of a parked car."
Regardless of where you are or how much you drank Munoz says there's absolutely no excuse to get behind the wheel after your cheers to the new year because there are options like "always get a designated driver. If you are hosting a party take peoples' keys, and if they are too intoxicated don't give them back to them."

Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus
Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Priscus[1][2] (c. 156 – c. 212) was a Roman senator who was appointed consul in AD 196.
Thrasea Priscus, a member of the second century gens Valeria, was possibly the son of Lucius Vipstanus Claudius Poplicola Messalla or Lucius Valerius Messalla Thrasea Poplicola Helvidius Priscus, who may have been a praetor designatus at some point. In AD 196, Thrasea Priscus was consul posterior alongside Gaius Domitius Dexter. It is believed that around AD 198, Thrasea Priscus was the curator aquarum (or supervisor of aqueducts) in Rome.[3]
Thrasea Priscus may have been a partisan of Publius Septimius Geta, the imperial rival of the emperor Caracalla. He became one of the victims of the earliest purges of Caracalla, being struck down in the emperor's presence after the murder of Geta.[4]
It is speculated that Thrasea Priscus married Coelia Balbina, possibly the daughter of Marcus Aquilius Coelius Apollinaris, and a very close relative of the future Emperor Balbinus.[5] It is believed that Thrasea Priscus had a son, Lucius Valerius Messalla Apollinaris, who was Roman consul in AD 214.[6]

Optus CEO to hang up phone
Page Tools
Chris Anderson
Picture:Rebecca Hallas
Optus chief executive Chris Anderson will step down after seven years at the helm of Australia's second largest telecom company and hand over the reins to chief operating officer Paul O'Sullivan.
"I think it's time for a generation change and for me to move on after seven years," said Mr Anderson, who will retire at the end of August.
He played down the timing of his departure, which coincides with the search for a new chairman at rival telco Telstra.
"I am not going anywhere, there is no hidden agenda. Why on earth would I want to work against something that I have spent seven years of my life building up?"
Former Telstra chairman Bob Mansfield and current chief executive Ziggy Switkowski both previously headed Optus, which was acquired by Singapore Telecom during Mr Anderson's reign.
He has also been linked with Kerry Packer's Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd and John Fairfax Holdings, owner of The Age, which Mr Anderson briefly headed in the early 1990s.
"I started when I was at university as Frank Packer's copy boy and that was a long, long time ago, and my view is I just want a break after that amount of time," Mr Anderson said.
Optus and SingTel portrayed the changes as an orderly succession for Optus, which now provides more than 65 per cent of SingTel's revenues.
Mr Anderson said Mr O'Sullivan's promotion to the role of chief operating officer three years ago was made with the "aim that he would succeed me".
The announcement came a day ahead of the release of Optus/SingTel's full-year results for the year to March 31, with the group expected to report a $S4.03 billion ($A3.25 billion) net profit, according to JP Morgan.
Optus is expected to lift its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) by 40 per cent to $1.89 billion.
The company has also continued to take market share away from Telstra in the crucial mobile market.
Singapore Telecom shares fell 3¢ to $1.96 yesterday.

Mr Beerworth was appointed after two long-standing independent directors of Incitec stood down from the committee.
Earlier this month Justice Bruce Debelle recommended that David Trebeck and Greg Harvey both step down after Futuris argued that their role in recommending an earlier scheme of arrangement to Incitec shareholders might have compromised their ability to independently assess any new scheme to rationalise the fertiliser industry.
Mr Tilley was not an Incitec director at the time.
"The appointment is the result of negotiations over a period of several weeks," Justice Debelle said in court.
"It would be quite wrong for any person to perceive that the appointment represents an advantage to either Incitec or (Futuris subsidiary) Acehill."
The committee will report back to the Incitec board on a preferred course of action. One approach being considered is to separate the fertiliser operations out of Incitec and then arrange for these to be merged or combined with the Pivot fertiliser business.
This would leave the contentious industrial chemicals operations in Incitec and avoid the need to value them.
Futuris has contested a valuation placed on the industrial chemicals assets in the earlier scheme of arrangement. This has given rise to a court action in which Futuris will allege Orica oppression of minority Incitec shareholders.
That case is set down for January 27.
The reporter holds Futuris shares.

Joke of the week
A lady was running through a grocery store yelling, "Crisco! Crisco!"
A store employee approached her and said, "Ma'am, the Crisco is on Aisle 4."
"No, I'm looking for my husband," the lady replied.
"Well, what do you call him at home?" the employee asked.
The lady replied, "Lard butt."

Tune in live to see if Sebastien Loeb can smash the course record at 'The Race to the Clouds' in his brand-new Peugeot developed car. The nine-time World Rally Champion will tackle the Rocky Mountains in an attempt to beat the existing Pikes Peak "Unlimited" category record of 9 minutes, 46.164 seconds.
The legendary Colorado course features 156 wrist-sapping bends winding up the 12-mile route towards the 14,000 feet high finish line. Loeb will be behind the wheel of the one ton, 875bhp, four-wheel drive beast created by Peugeot specifically for the challenge.
Not only will Loeb do battle against the high altitude energy sapping course but also against rival racers hoping to claim the title of King of the Peak for themselves. Among the stiff competition is current Pikes Peak record holder Rhys Millen who is bringing his Hyundai RMR PM580-T to the party this year.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb dates back to 1916 and the 91st edition of the contest is shaping up to be the most memorable of them all. Can Loeb recapture the glory tasted by Peugeot in the 1980s thanks to stunning performances of Ari Vatanen and Robby Unser? Can Rhys Millen maintain his family's proud association with the race by claiming another victory?
All these questions will be answered during the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb live broadcast right here on June 30, 15:45 CET.
Unfortunately the production company at Pikes Peak experienced a range of technical difficulties. The stream will now continue on the Pikes Peak Official Site until the end of the event. Come back to Redbull.com for news and a POV clip of Sebastien's run.
Follow all the updates on RedBull.com/motorsports and congratulations to Sebastien for breaking the world record: Race Report.

"Love Thy Neighbor, but for heaven's sake, do not dress like him," jokes Dres Ladro, the noncomformist founder and creative force behind the sporty menswear label Descendant of Thieves. Ladro would rather you fellows dress like he does: in Descendant of Thieves creations like the blue highwayman shirt (a button-down oxford with contrast stitching), the two-tone preppy slub polo, grosgrain belts in eye-popping teal, or the lightweight "exploded" plaid woven shirt; the sizing and fit of the clothes are all carefully coordinated for maximum cool. Based in Berlin, Ladro — his name is a nom de plume, is the Italian word for "thief" — only wears clothing that he designs and constructs himself. Every Descendant of Thieves shirt features quiet detailing such as stitch-through collars, slightly angled pockets, yellow taping under hems and cuffs, and — for a fun twist — hidden messages. Ladro limits the sale of each design to no more than 400 units per style, making your Thieves threads nearly one-of-a-kind. Just keep the equation that the brand applies to everything it makes in mind: Descendant of Thieves = (traditional clothes - Dad) x eccentric artist.

Secure Remote Health Monitoring with Unreliable Mobile Devices

As the nation's healthcare information infrastructure continues to evolve, new technologies promise to provide readily accessible health information that can help people address personal and community health concerns. In particular, wearable and implantable medical sensors and portable computing devices present many opportunities for providing timely health information to health providers, public health professionals, and consumers. Concerns about privacy and information quality, however, may impede the development and deployment of these technologies for remote health monitoring. Patients may fail to apply sensors correctly, device can be stolen or compromised (exposing the medical data therein to a malicious party), low-cost sensors controlled by a capable attacker might generate falsified data, and sensor data sent to the server can be captured in the air by an eavesdropper; there are many opportunities for sensitive health data to be lost, forged, or exposed. In this paper, we design a framework for secure remote health-monitoring systems; we build a realistic risk model for sensor-data quality and propose a new health-monitoring architecture that is secure despite the weaknesses of common personal devices. For evaluation, we plan to implement a proof of concept for secure health monitoring.

In case you didn't read it...
My source, whom I called Fed Up (F.U. for short) described a scenario of alarm at the County level; alarm that events in Hoboken had gotten out of hand and were going to spill over into the Freeholder race. (Which is tomorrow- vote for Kurt Gardiner- Column C!)
In other words, the County sees low turnout as a positive for the incumbent, and the specter of the hospital closure igniting our electorate was feared. So according to F.U., Freeholder candidate Anthony 'Stick' Romano and Assemblywoman Joan Quigley were dispatched by 'party elders' to Hoboken's Sunday Oct. 30th meeting to send a message to minority Council members: STOP. In particular, F.U. noted the "humiliation' of Mike Russo by Quigley, a kind of dressing-down publicly that usually occurs privately between a naughty child and his mom.
I have to tell you, that's the way GA saw it. Irrespective of whether or not Timmy 'flipped' on his peers- it seemed to me there was an extraordinary push-back from outside of Hoboken directed at the City Council minority, and Mike Russo in particular.
With regard to the Timmy-the-Flipper narrative, I think folks should think what they want, believe what they do based on their sources. It doesn't matter a whit to me. GA would never shake another's faith in the Easter Bunny or that Puff was a magic dragon.
Let's see what Flipper does at the next meeting. Will he flip for refinancing the garage bond like it's a sardine? Or flop with Beth 'Layoffs' Mason? And will Flipper flip for BA Arch Liston so he can move budget line items around before Hoboken flops with another Fiscal Monitor?
Which is why GA will reserve judgment on Flipper until he's shown his mettle by flipping for Hoboken every time and not when he gets caught on the Mayor's hook.
But some interpreted the events of October 30th quite differently from GA's source F.U.
Here's what one reader wrote about F.U.'s take on Quigley:
Thats quite some revisionism. The idea that she came down hard on Russo is only believable to anyone who didn't watch the meeting. Fortunately its recorded so its easy to disprove. She heaped so much praise on him for saving the hospital twice.
Since GA agrees with F.U., I wasn't offended, but instead fascinated - that two like-minded individuals could see the same thing so differently.
It reminded me of Rashomon, the classic Kurosawa flick that takes place in ancient Japan, where 4 witnesses to a killing tell 4 completely different and contradictory versions of the event.
In Hoboken's Rashomon, some witnesses to the hospital's rescue from our rogue Council minority tell different versions of the same event.
So thanks to Greg Bond, here's the video of Assemblywoman Quigley so you can form your own opinion.
What did you think? Did Quigley spank Russo or praise him?
I see Quigley playing Mike like a Stradivarius. How could he vote 'NO' after THAT? He is a "father" after all, and that's supposed to make him "nicer'.
Ooooooh. I don't want to meet her in a dark alley.
Here's what GA's political strategist friend, The Nose had to say
Thanks, Nose! So glad I picked you.Quigley is the grand dame of Hudson County politics. She's part of the leadership and for her to be sent into a public arena like this was a message. The kind that used to be conveyed behind closed doors. For her to come out in public and talk to Mike like he was a child, the message was loud and clear: you're going to to the right thing.It's not always the message, but it's the messenger. And it was also a message to Beth Mason. That they're deadly serious that the hospital's not going to close.
Sunday night was political theater at its finest.
What about Stick? What did he have to say?
Here's Mason placing one of her 'The Council Minority Saved the Hospital' press releases in front of him before he spoke. Which he ignored.
Stick swung with a softer bat, but it was all the same: cut the crap and pass this thing- I've got an election in 9 days.
GA stood near Romano; his demeanor was serious. As were all the 'old-guard' in the room that night. Like everyone knew their 'side' had gone too far and the game was no longer fun.
This video-still captures Stick's mood, he seemed to be asking himself; why the hell are we here on a Sunday night?
And here's what he said, thanks again to Greg Bond:
So what did you see?
Political theater or an intervention?
VOTE Kurt Gardiner for Freeholder- Column C- on Tuesday, November 8th (tomorrow)

Frontline does COIN in Afghanistan
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military from 1991 to 2008 for the Wall Street Journal and then the Washington Post. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Frontline," the PBS documentary series, has consistently done great work on our post-9/11 wars. In a new one, they tackle the issue of whether counterinsurgency doctrine can work in Afghanistan. They've already posted the first part of the show, due to air as a whole on Oct. 13. One thing this segment made me think about was the danger of under-resourced COIN. The worst thing you can do is tell people you are going to protect them when you can't. All you are doing is putting them on the golf tee so Taliban can come by that night, or next week, with a big nine iron.
This piece on Small Wars Journal is also worth reading. But I am not sure it really is an "alternative" to what McChrystal is proposing. Rather, I think it outlines the plan pretty well. McChrystal is not asking for enough to protect all the people of Afghanistan, and the proof of that is the plan to "triage" out of certain areas, like Nuristan.
Also check out Abu Mook getting Washington right, even at the expense of embarrassing his long-suffering mother. I read the same line in the Washington Post this morning and had a similar but more obscene thought about the administration official.

Leaves of the aspen tree rattling in a strong wind.Due to its unique sound this tree is often heard in nature before it is seen,also the leaves are so flexible that they seem to rotate!There is a bird-call i don't recognise at 40 secs.R-09HR in Rode blimp.
This recording is exactly what I remember Aspens in the wind sounding like. Its perfect!!!
I used this sound in an audio piece called "Dragons of the Sun".
Thank you for your excellent sound!
Really lovely recording. Thank you.

Arsenal, Chelsea play to scoreless London derby
LONDON (AP) - Arsene Wenger failed for the 10th time to get the better of Jose Mourinho as Arsenal was held to a 0-0 draw by Chelsea on Monday, missing a chance to return to the top of the Premier League.
The London derby, played with rain swirling around the Emirates Stadium, failed to produce the drama expected, with few attempts on goal.
Chelsea came closest in the first half when Frank Lampard's 32nd-minute shot struck the crossbar, while Arsenal only threatened Petr Cech's goal in the closing minutes when Olivier Giroud shot wide from a tight angle.
It meant that in Mourinho's two stints as Chelsea manager, Wenger has now endured five draws and five losses.
''It is a solid point but two points dropped at home,'' said Wenger, whose side lost 6-3 at Manchester City in its last game.
Arsenal is ahead in the Premier League, only behind leader Liverpool on goal difference and two points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea.
Mourinho's mission was to shackle an Arsenal team that hasn't been beaten at home in the league since the opening day of the season.
And the Portuguese coach succeeded with his well-organized side.
''It was important for us in this match not to lose,'' he said. ''Because it's one thing for us to be two points behind the leaders and another thing to be five points behind.''
The concern for Mourinho, though, will be the failure of a Chelsea striker to score a first league away goal since last December, with Fernando Torres ineffective up front.
Instead the defenders thwarted Arsenal.
''Arsenal showed on the pitch ... frustration because they couldn't create or penetrate,'' Mourinho said.
Wenger was aggrieved that Arsenal wasn't awarded a penalty in the first half when Theo Walcott went down under Willian's light challenge.

Stocks Overvalued? Who Cares?
The milestone came at 10:10 a.m. on Aug. 25: The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index edged above 2,000 for the first time, helping to push the value of equities worldwide to a record $66 trillion. The benchmark has tripled since March 2009, climbing at a blistering pace that has seen 65 calendar months elapse without a 10 percent loss in any of them.
For the average investor, it's a dizzying peak from which to contemplate the eternal question: buy or sell? Arguing for the bulls on Aug. 19, Barry Bannister, the chief equity strategist at Stifel, dramatically raised his prediction of where the S&P will end the year. He had been forecasting a modest loss. Now he envisions a 15 percent climb to 2,300 as the economy picks up steam. "People are getting jobs, getting paid, becoming solvent," Bannister says. On the bearish side, no less an authority than Yale University professor Robert Shiller, one of the few economists to have warned about the housing bubble, said in an Aug. 16 New York Times piece that his influential Shiller price-earnings ratio has reached a "worrisome level," one not seen since 1929, 1999, and 2007—years that are synonymous with bursting bubbles.
Just because there are two compelling sides to the argument doesn't mean investors have to choose one. Decades of market history make a persuasive case that the best course of action may be to take no action at all.
As Peter Lynch, the renowned stockpicker for Fidelity Investments' Magellan Fund until 1990, once put it, "Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves." Brad DeLong, a professor of economics at the University of California at Berkeley, came to much the same conclusion in an Aug. 17 response to Shiller on his blog. Investors who were walloped by the 1929 crash, he calculated, would have seen their losses improve to an annual gain of 3.3 percent, on average, if they'd simply stood pat for at least a decade. Investors who held the S&P 500 from the 1999 peak until today have seen a 2.7 percent average annual return; for the past seven years, a period starting with the 2007 market top, the figure is 5.2 percent. "Not too shabby," DeLong writes.
The point is not just that rallies tend to follow crashes. It's that getting caught in an especially bad downturn—the thing so many investors worry about today—really isn't so bad if you're in the game for the long term, with a time horizon of a decade or more. Almost every 10-year period, DeLong finds, has produced gains.
Stocks are inherently risky—the S&P has lost more than 5 percent in a calendar month 33 times during the past 30 years. But buy-and-hold advocates have long pointed out the risk of missing rallies while trying to avoid drops. Putnam Investments published a report in January showing that investors who missed out on the market's 10 best days over the last 15 years would have had annualized gains of only 2.1 percent, compared with almost 6.5 percent for a portfolio that stayed fully invested. That's a difference of $11,911 for a starting stake of $10,000. The report also notes that "seven of the Dow's 10 best days since 1996 occurred within a year of the financial crisis triggered by the Lehman Brothers collapse."
Shiller, who shared the Nobel prize in economics in 2013 for his study of asset prices, has cautioned that his ratio is a general barometer and not a precise signal for when to buy and sell. Also known as CAPE, for cyclically adjusted price-earnings, it measures profits over a 10-year period, typically spanning one or more business cycles, to give a better picture of corporate health than any one-year snapshot. The historical CAPE average is 16.6; at its current 26.4, the metric suggests that returns from stocks will be lower in the coming years than investors have enjoyed since the crisis.
Even if that's true, a portfolio with a large exposure to equities remains essentially the only option for people with a 10-year or longer horizon, such as those planning for retirement, says Fran Kinniry, a principal in Vanguard's investment strategy group. Alternatives such as high-quality bonds and CDs will not offer sufficient growth to produce enough income for a retiree to live on. "Bonds might have a 10-year return of 2.5 or 3 percent," Kinniry says. "Even judging from CAPE today, stocks would be around 6, 7, 8 percent—significantly more than bonds, significantly more than inflation."
Vanguard recently became the world's second-largest money manager, overseeing $2.93 trillion, behind BlackRock with $4.59 trillion. Both asset managers have been propelled by the growth of target-date funds, which automatically change investors' exposure to equities and fixed income as they age. In his annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders this year, Chairman Warren Buffett said it's not a bad idea for investors to put 10 percent of their holdings into short-term government bonds and 90 percent in an S&P index fund and "never to sell when the news is bad."
"There's a fair amount of research that indicates that most retirement investors do not have the ability to time the market," says Chip Castille, head of the U.S. retirement group at BlackRock. "And missing the runs, missing those important days or weeks, can meaningfully affect the long-term outcome."
"I think people misuse quantitative or statistical information," Vanguard's Kinniry says. "A lot of investors are all in or all out. I'd caution investors, if they want to take a little bit on or off their allocation to make them feel better, that's fine, but don't make major deviations because of these statistical measures."

ColRegs - Racing vs Not Racing
This weekend I encountered a close miss, which still has me steamed.
Sailing a 30' crusier.
I don't race.
I placing safety first, then I avoid interfering with a race course, racers.
So I'm sailing on a STBD close reach on autopilot 5+kn. 300' ahead to PORT two larger racers tacked from STBD to PORT and were generally heading in my direction PORT side.
The 1st boat reset sails then headed up and crossed in front of me with plenty of room to clear.
The 2nd boat was having trouble resetting sails and was still PORT side. I watched him as we were getting closer, expecting he would head up in front of me as the 1st boat did.
We continued getting closer, now less than 50', and he was still PORT side and appeared to have the sails set for the new tack.
Being so close, I was satisfied that he would continue PORT side, to do differently would risk a collision. but...
He suddenly heads up and turns to PORT directly across my bow. I initially froze, then disengaged the AP, turned to PORT and avoided his stern by<10'
His crew was yelling PORT-PORT, I yelled are you F'n crazy. His reply was "We're Racing".
Now my question - My brief reading of race rules are they are more stringent than and do not contradict the ColRegs, regarding stand-on vs. avoid, and not with-standing this A-hole, what is a racer's attitude toward non-racing boats and what is their general respect for the ColRegs?
Even in racing, S trumps P. Crossing during a race will be less than 2-3' as long as both boats do not change course. Don't know why the race boat headed up, but you were the stand on vessel. That being said, racers don't like it when the gun goes off and a flying scot is 15' past the startline drifting at 2 knts. If its obvious they're racing, avoid the course, if not, I'd stay on stbd.
The boat in question was clearly in the wrong and the fact they were racing has no bearing on the issue, other than the fact that, apparently, the crew of the offending boat thought differently.
If you know what club or association was running that race, I would recommend you contact them and make them aware of the incident. Perhaps they'll make a point of making clear to future participants that just because they're racing doesn't give them the right to run roughshod over whomever happens to be on the water.
Okay, I have a differnt take
While you may have been the stand on boat, there are two things that I have issue with that you did, based solely on what you wrote in your OP.
Issue One: While it is not specifically stated, you imply that you were close to or on a race course. Maybe you weren't and the two racers that you state were 300' in front of you were just racing each other. If that is the case, then what I write next is not applicable. If you knew that you were close to two boats the were racing, in race, why not just alter your course and sail around the course, or at least to an area where the traffic is less. While two boats is not real traffic, once they get within several boat lengths and they are engaged, why not give them the benefit of the doubt and get out of their way, stand on or not?
Issue Two: If you're in close proximity of other craft, what is the reason for your using autopilot? I'm sure others with have opinion on both sides, but I think it is a little irresponsible to steer with an AP, especially with very close on coming traffic that is obviously encroaching on you; stand on or not. You basically waited until the last possible second to actually get up and disengage the AP and do a collision avoidance maneuver. What would have happened had you not been able to disengage the AP? You really left yourself no options by waiting to the last second. I very rarely use AP when sailing in an area where there is congestion. I do use AP if I by myself to raise and lower the mainsail, but that is it and it usually takes 5 to 10 seconds and I do it in area where the area is clear.
The two boats were the only ones remotely near me, I expect they were badly trailing the pack.
Re 1 - I was close to a race course, which made me more attentive of the actions of the two boats, intending to defer to their actions. Boat 1 headed up with plenty of room - no problem. Boat 2 maintained Port to me tack. If I dropped down, I'd be crossing its bow and impeding its intended course, thereby impeding its race progress.
Re 2 - I was at the helm, disengage means hit the standby button, maybe 2-3 seconds between reaction and execution. I regularly disengage in close traffic. In this case I wanted maintain direct course showing my intentions.
It was not until the 'last possible second' there was an urgency imposed by the Boat2 action, and no reasonable expectation that manual evasive action would be required.
Thanks for the replies, I was looking for insight as to racing attitude, inferring from the Boat 2 skipper reply "we're racing" that I was missing something.
The crew's yelling PORT - PORT really makes no sense and the excuse "we're racing" holds no water, so to speak. However, a racing boat crossing within "<10 feet" isn't really all that close as racers go. When it gets into inches, then I'd say it's close.
We race 1 or 2 times a week and while we like it when other sailboats stay out of the area when they can BUT we feel we have NO special rights over them
Racers have no special rights
So the skipper of "Race" Boat 2 was wrong when he said "We're racing", implying that they had special rights because they were racing.
And I agree with Hesper, 10 feet isn't "close" when racing. When you get to a few feet, that is a little dicey. However, my wife thinks that if two boats are within 300 ft, they're too close to each other.
Again, not saying that you did anything incorrectly, but I would have been a little more attentive to the situation and positioned myself further from the two boats, earlier than later, to avoid an potential conflicts. You were the boat with the Standon Rights and the race boat was not more privileged because they were racing.
I would hope that the "Port Port" was someone on the other boat's crew addressing the helmsman.
The only problem with non racing boats in a race course is that non racers may react differently than racers in the same situation. A Port tack boat can cross in front of a stbd tack boat and will often cross with less than three feet between his transom and the bow of the stbd boat. In a race typically the Stbd boat knows this is going to happen and is prepared for it and holds course. If someone not accustomed to this starts taking evasive action by steering low at last seconds they might in fact make an action that could cause a collision. That is probably the only difference between racing and non racing boats,
Another point. With 300 feet of warning it would have been very easy for you to steer a course that would have avoided this situation altogether. yes you did have the classic Stbd-Port rights over the other boats but why push it when it does nothing to help you? Also being on auto pilot in such a situation seems silly. 2 -3 seconds to disengage is 2 -3 seconds you may not have.
Sorry to be blunt. You had right of way but probably should have steered clear long before the incident occurred.
Sounds like your average day in boston harbor...with some idiot that thinks that coming in 6th place instead of 7th is worth life, limb and property :)
The rules exist for a reason and they work because we're all supposed to adhere to the same rules (racers get no special rights).
Like everyone else said, from a purely personal standpoint. If you see a race fleet just stay away from them. Those guys are crazy :D

Hahn's Peak Before hungry crowds packed Hahn's Peak Roadhouse on Sunday afternoon to taste an assortment of 32 chilis, desserts and other homemade recipes, Travis Bedell had to make sure the building had enough electricity to keep all of the food warm.
"You just don't walk into this place and have it all happen. There's a science to it," the Clark resident said as he explained how all of the crockpots full of steaming hot chili sucked up about 70 amps worth of energy. Three generators hummed outside to keep the chili hot.
"We've had breakers get blown out in the past, and then I get yelled at because the food gets cold," Bedell joked.
But no such yelling or cold chili surfaced during the 10th annual Great North Routt Chili Cook-Off. The event drew about 180 people to the Roadhouse just north of Clark who were eager to eat, drink and support area schools.
A $10 entry fee raised about $2,700 for the North Routt Community Charter School and the neighboring North Routt Preschool. Attendees also donated $455 to a separate challenge fund to support the preschool. Preschool director Kerri Ann Crocker said North Routt community members have pledged to match as much as $9,500 in donations to the school during an ongoing fundraiser.
"We're very grateful for the support," Crocker said. "If we're able to match those funds (and raise $19,000), we'll be able to absolve a lot of our debt."
The North Routt Preschool last year was forced to close its doors for a week because of mounting debt. It reopened a week later under the leadership of Crocker and since has been working past the financial trouble.
"I know all of the money we raised today will go to good use," event organizer Erick Knaus said. "Schools across the country are struggling financially, and every little bit helps."
While the event served as a fundraiser for the schools, it also was a form of entertainment.
The Dark Eyed Juncos serenaded chili-eaters with blues songs and rhythm as children played in sandboxes outside the Roadhouse.
"Good chili. Good food. Good desserts," Steamboat resident Darcie Hills said as she ate chili and drank Corona outside with friends. Hills was part of a larger group of motorcycle riders who made a second annual ride from Craig to the event.
Attendees also had a chance to weigh in on the dishes they tasted.
Becky Heid started preparing for the cook-off Saturday by getting all of the fixings for what she calls Sand Mountain Posole. The pot contained pork and red and green chilis, and it earned a second place ribbon in the "other" category.
"I always cook more and more every year because this event grows and grows," Heid said.

Weevils, War & Wallabies 1920-1945
Fair Dinkum Histories by Jackie French
Telling it like it really was - true-blue Aussie history!
The diggers of the First World War came back to an Australia still divided by class, gender and race. At least the country could celebrate during the "roaring twenties" but then the stock market crashed and we were plunged into the Great Depression. Times were tough, and would only get tougher with the start of another world war, this time much closer to home.
Come meet the flappers, cobbers, boofheads and drongos, Weary and the Rats, Big Red and The Don as Australia begins to forge a new identity. Weevils, war & wallabies is history as you've never seen it!

Q&A with ABC 7 Makeup Artist Alx Galasinao
Posted on Aug. 27, 2013
With names including Alyssa Millano, President Barack Obama, and Isaac Mizrahi on her past client list, I had to take advantage of my time in her makeup chair and find out some of her best beauty secrets.
What are your best makeup secrets that are easy to do but make a big impact?
Keep your inner eye clean and add a bit of shimmer to really make your eyes pop. In addition, depending on the foundation you use, try a different applicator. Some foundations work and blend better with a brush (play with different shapes and sizes), sponge (wet or dry), or with your fingers. You will be so surprised at how your skin will reflect the application that works best for you.
You work with a lot of TV personalities and celebs. What's your trick for making skin look flawless. Especially with HDTV now, how do you do it?
Cover what needs to be covered. Don't pile on makeup all over your face and finish with a light dusting of fine powder. I also like to keep a little natural flush in the skin...so it never looks like a mask.
You work with a million products. Are there a few tools or specific products that are your absolute favorites?
I love Lorac glosses, Makeup Forever HD primer, Bobbi Brown waterproof gel eyeliner, and Benefit's Dallas bronzer.
Are there certain colors you know will always look great on certain skin tones?
I typically try to match a client's natural tone. This may sound a little crazy, but I ask them to look inside their lower lip. Is it more blue, pink or coral? This shows me which direction to go when it comes to color choice.
If there were one or two tips you could give to women when it comes to makeup, what would they be?
If there were one or two tips you could give to women when it comes to makeup, what would they be?
If you don't have a clue about make up, start out by first finding the right concealer--the one with the right amount of moisture, color, and coverage. Concealer is the most important product because when applied correctly, it can make all the difference in the world. Second, know where to powder. It's okay to have a little glow on your cheeks, but be sure to prevent shine on your upper lip and forehead.

Here's a rodding tip
Looking back at your past posts, you have had some misfortune. Luckily, on a couple trucks that I have put together, I have not had major catastrophe. This is because I follow a strict rule of checking everything twice. It's very easy to forget cotter pins. The excitement of getting it ready to drive...the well I will do that later is all to easily forgotten when building a vehicle. In my 73 El Camino build, I did that. I will put the zerks and the cotter pins in later. (before I drive it) I put it on the ground was going to pull it out and thought....Did I do "everything"? So I stopped and checked. Guess what. No cotter pins in anything in the suspension. Plus none of it was greased. However they were there on the spindles. (but I checked anyhow) They were installed before I put the dust caps on and made sure the bearings were lubed. So I went through for a 3rd time, checked to make sure that EVERY bolt was tightened, all cotter pins installed, and everything was lubed. But there's always something to be checked. Never take anything for granted. And for those of you that buy the cars that are finished or semi-finished, always check. You never know what the previous owner did before you. Never hurts to take some time and check EVERYTHING before you put it out on the road. Glad that you and your wife are okay.
"Never hurts to take some time and check EVERYTHING before you put it out on the road."
This is way too logical and takes way to much time..
It is a lot more fun (and dangerous) to just slam it together and complain when it falls apart.. Then blast the part maker for not having a string attached to your finger to remind one to check their car before driving it.
I expect in the near future every single part will require a connection to the vehicles' computer in order to not start, if one leaves it out or disconnected.
Maybe federal laws, making all parts having to be self installing, would make it much more better...we sure don't want individual people to have to make those decisions..
It also helps to have someone from outside come over and look at things before you start rocking and rolling. . Someone with knowledge that is.
Bummer dude..I feel your pain. .I hope your wife is OK too..C 1 vertebrae is brain stem bones. (C-1,C-2, C-3 is a bad place to get a fracture..T-1 is not so bad..)
I have alot of road rash from being pitched off off my motorcycles over the years. (I don't like riding on T bucket roadsters for just that reason, If I'm riding in one, I want to be wearing my helmet. )
I've never seen a cotterpin fail if it was installed properly. I guess anything is possible. Lots of possible reasons that your mishap occured, but like you said, periodic checks of the equipment would have saved yourself some pain.
One valid reason that I have actually seen : A guy installs a tie rod end with a cheesy loose fitting imported nut and cotter pin, overtightens the nut , and unknowingly partially strips it. He puts the cotterpin in and away he goes.
The stud eventually gets loose from the side action working the tapered stud back and forth in the steering arm.
This repetitive action gets the threaded end of the stud to start sliding out of the nut.
The nut shears the cotterpin off, and the tie rod falls out.
That was not my doing, a guy brought in a car to my shop with loose steering complaints, the mostly stripped nut was about 2 threads away from actually falling off, and the sheared peice of the cotter pin was still in the stud.
Fenderless cars are pretty easy to inspect.
When I'm doing any work on front suspension or anything that needs cotterpins, loctite etc, I fully tighten the nut, and put the cotterpin in right then.
If I know that I'm going to be taking stuff apart again before I send it out, because I'm mocking parts up before paint or whatever, sometimes I don't snug the nut down at all, just a couple of turns. That way I can see really easily that I'm not done.
Sometimes I'll put a peice of masking tape on the part with an unsecured fastener, that is my flag to let me know that it needs more attention before it goes out.

these are all good tips but my car has been on the road for about 1 year now and it has about 500 miles on it.i put bigger tires on the back and i was calibrating my speedo.i dont know if i worked on the front end and didnt put the cotter pin back in or what but **** happens and i will always double check it for now on.i tore the front end apart this weekend and found my bearings were all rusted and lacking grease.powerrodsmike its the l-1 on the lower part of her back.i have alot of hotrod friend around here and not 1 of them said they do any 10 point check befor they go out and drive there car they kick the tires and pull on afew things here and there.to check the cotter pin you would need to pull the tire off and that tire hasnt been off since i blead the brakes before the car was on the road .OHD your telling me that you spend 3-4 hours aday before driving to double check EVERTHING befor you go out drive your car mabee you need to tear apart your engine everytime and check your rod bolts for wear and streatch becouse one can shoot out through the block and hit you in the head your an idiot
I'm glad everyone is OK. Fracturing L-1 will just make her have the lower back pain that everyone I know over the age of 15 has.
I do minimal periodic checking of my cars and motorcycles. Mostly I listen and watch for rattles and changes in performance, then check stuff.
Yes I have experienced things falling off because they are loose, but that still won't make me do a 1000 point check every time I use something.
Try to not call folks names here.

Matter of fact, some of the engines I work on last maybe 2 mins, of full runtime, so Yea I tear them down every 1 mile or so..sometime 2 times in one afternoon/day......and still at 2500 to 5000HP they kick a rod or break a crank every now and then.. never had a cotter pin break or go missing tough.
Try using a pilots check list, DOT check list, or as suggested, make your own and follow it, you will learn how to do a safety check and spot problems before they become MORE serious....
Sometimes protecting people, from themselves, is the largest challenge...

Record of Telephone Conversation - TachoSil, January 22, 2010
(System Info - 123559 HE JIE 03/19/2010 11:43:59 HEJ)
Submission Type: BLA Submission ID: 125351/0 Office: OBRR
Product: Fibrin Sealant Patch
Applicant: Nycomed Danmark ApS
Telecon Date/Time: 22-Jan-2010 10:00 AM Initiated by FDA? Yes
Telephone Number:
Communication Categorie(s):
1. Advice
Author: JIE HE
Telecon Summary:
To inform Nycomed about review committee's conclusion that the ---------(b)(4)--------- ---------------- will not be approved and explained the two adminstrative options Nycomed needs to choose from.
FDA Participants:
Kimberly Lindsey, M.D. OBRR/DH/CRB
Nisha Jain, M.D. OBRR/DH/CRB
Natalya Ananyeva, Ph.D. OBRR/DH/LH
Tim Lee, Ph.D. OBRR/DH/LH

------------------------(b)(4)------------------------------------------- ------------------------(b)(4)---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trans-BLA Group: No
Related STNs: None
Related PMCs: None
Telecon Body:
The administrative options that were discussed during the Teleconference on January 22, 2010 for Nycomed's reference.
Administrative options for Nycomed original BLA 125351.0:
FDA has reviewed the Nycomed's responses (submitted 21 December 2009) to the Information Request of 25 November 2009 for the original BLA 125351/0 and found responses to the CMC questions and Pharmacology/Toxicology comments satisfactory. Regarding clinical aspects, Nycomed claims two indications for TachoSil under BLA 125351/0: --------------------------(b)(4)----------------------- ---------- (b) an adjunct to hemostasis in cardiovascular surgery. The review committee has concluded that the submission does not support the -(b)(4)- indication for TachoSil to the approvable level. FDA cannot approve a partial BLA submission; therefore Nycomed has two administrative options for the current BLA:
- If Nycomed chooses not to withdraw from consideration the -(b)(4)- indication, a Complete Response (CR) letter will be issued. When the firm responds to the CR in the future, a new 6 month review clock will be in effect. No new fees will be charged since the review will be a continuation of the review process of the original submission.
- Another option for Nycomed is to decouple the two indications for TachoSil and withdraw ---(b)(4)--- indication from the BLA. FDA will then continue the review of the BLA relative to the hemostasis indication only.
- If selecting this option, Nycomed would need to submit an amendment to the original BLA that includes: 1) a cover letter stating Nycomed's request to withdraw ---------(b)(4)----------, 2) a new Form 3567, and 3) a revised label. The revised label may be provided in a separate amendment submission, if preparation of the revision would delay the submission of the withdrawal request.
- There is no fee associated with the withdrawal of an indication from this BLA.
- In the future, the request for a -------(b)(4)------- for TachoSil can be resubmitted with updated data as an efficacy supplement to the original BLA. Such efficacy supplement will have a 10 month review clock. Appropriate fees apply to all efficacy supplements.
Please note that the Agency expects to be informed by Nycomed about its decision on this matter within two weeks. This time period includes submission of the revised label if option 2 is chosen by Nycomed. Please contact me with any questions regarding this BLA submission.

A dish of wok-steamed pepper steak was the only one we tried that broke the pattern, forgoing brightness and crunch to go all in on the savory and bitter. The slices of beef in this dish were thick, rich, and tender. The watercress was so thick and sharp it had the qualities of broccoli rabe. With green peppers, it soaked up the beef's richness and some sweet/sour broth that accentuated the vegetable's bitter notes.
The pepper steak is a good dish, but seemed to violate the lighter spirit of Phoever Maine, which is so much of its appeal. Moving halfway across the planet, finding work, saving up, and staking it all on a new venture is some pretty heavy stuff. Pulling it off with a light touch, a sense of humor, and great skill is truly admirable.

Honda has given the JDM-only Civic Type R a mild refresh for 2009, with a few subtle revisions being made to take the most hardcore small sedan ever created into the new year.
Don't get too excited though: the changes are only cosmetic and the power output, suspension setup and trim levels are exactly the same as the outgoing model. Not a bad thing, that's for sure, but a few more horses would've been nice.
Still, it's easy to forgive Honda for leaving the mechanical package unchanged when you feast your eyes on the 2009 FD2 CTR in its new for-09 Premium Purple Pearl paint scheme. If that doesn't tickle your fancy though, there's a very sophisticated Crystal Black Pearl and a classy Premium White Pearl hue to choose from too, in addition to the five other standard CTR colors.
The rear lamp clusters have also been revised, with the circular lenses of the old model being flicked in favor of a more angular semi-octagonal design. Recommended retail price for the 2009 Civic Type R is ¥2,835,000 (AED 96,615).
Oh yes, Honda also said something about power retractable mirrors now being standard-issue and apparently something in the interior has been changed, but whatever it is, it's virtually imperceptible from Honda's press shots.

I love you KJ. You just look like such a nice pup and Mommy bets you are a lot like me. Why does the toy company even put those feet on those toys?? We just take them off first chance we get.

Messages are mixed in the first half of the year as outgoing Jupiter's presence in your 1st House of Self encourages the independent and freewheeling side of your personality. However, restrictive Saturn is in your 7th House of Partnerships all year, weighing you down with responsibilities and serious thoughts about relationships. It's tempting to see others as unreasonable and lacking generosity, which may be the case. However, a mature individual can bring you security and clarity that help you keep your feet on the ground.
An opposition of Jupiter and Saturn on March 28 could mark a critical time in addressing the contrast between your need for freedom and desire to share your life with a partner. If your long-term prospects with a person are good, you should realize it then. But if you don't see a way to find both stimulation and safety in a union, you may start looking for the exit.
