The Diversity Dinner: Breaking Bagels & Barriers
There is a furniture manufacture that is running a diversity commercial. It is the usual politically correct bullshit. And they also get to plug their furniture in the ad.

Oh my, what a fiasco! RIP, Alisha. Ramz, I hope your burns without any scarring and that you're fully insured for any damage to your home.ReplyDelete
That should read:I hope you're burns HEAL without any scarring. PROOF READING!ReplyDelete
As my father would say, "No hat's at the f'n table!"ReplyDelete
RAMZPAUL, I'm not sure the best way to contact you, I'm trying to advertise my forum truthinourtime.com/forum and I'd rather deal with you directly than pay jewgle to use adsense or zuckerberg to advertise on FB, plus your audience is who the forum is for.ReplyDelete
Keep up the great work.
You KNOW that the guy on the left would freak if his daughter or grand-daughter came home with the guy on the right.ReplyDelete
I love how the black guy is given free food, the white guy is extorted to pay for it (and goes into debt to do so, all just to avoid racial rioting), with the whole swindle orchestrated by the Jew. These little subtleties you drop into your videos are hilarious.ReplyDelete

Ocean Grande Opens Doors With Lavish Celebration
The Ocean Grande luxury condominium building at the beachfront between Beach 116 and Beach 117 Street opened its doors on Thursday afternoon with a lavish grand opening ceremony that was attended by many of those who have bought apartments in the building as well as many local politicians and civic activists.
The eight-story, 92 unit building is 80 percent sold, according to a spokesperson who took a Wave editor on a tour of the building prior to the opening. Prices in the building range from $400,000 for a two-bedroom apartment facing the street to nearly $1,000,000 for a penthouse with an ocean view.
The building will be attractive to those seeking to enjoy a seaside lifestyle while living in close proximity to the cultural and entertainment opportunities easily available in New York City," said Jan Burman, President and CEO of the Engel Burman group, the building's developers.
In addition to the individual apartments, the building boasts a fitness center, 24-hour concierge service, a business computer center, a resident's club room, underground parking and locker rooms right off the beach.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A friend was involved with her boyfriend/fiancee for almost 10 years and found out he was giving her a false name and false info about his personal life and business. They were living together a portion of that time and he asked her to marry him but it turns out he is married already. Does she have a civil case?
Fraud is notoriously difficult to plead, and in part due to the requirement that the plaintiff establish and prove actual damages resulting from the fraud - real, measurable, financial ("monetary") damages. Her ability (or more likely, inability) to prove damages as a result of the fraudulent scheme will likely be fatal to her claim for fraud on a motion to dismiss. However, she may have a claim for IIED (intentional infliction of emotional distress), but there again she faces pleading and proving the difficult elements of an IIED claim, namely, the "extremity" of the shock and the "severity" of the resulting damage. Lying to someone about who they are to goad or keep them in a relationship certainly SOUNDS a lot more like IIED than a fraud claim; however, failure to prove damages is fraud's #1 nemesis, and, I surmise, the same would be true for your friend despite the objective and apparent unfairness of the situation.

The answer is maybe. It is definitely a bad situation and sounds like a "made for tv" movie plot, but whether or not is is a good case depends on what damages there are, if any, how sympathetic a witness your friend may be, whether or not the guy took any of her property (also part of damages) and most of all, what the guy has, if anything, to pay a verdict if she gets one. If you were talking about a celebrity defendant with a deep pocket and non-judgmentproof assets, then it could appear to be a fantastic case (poor innocent young woman gives up ten years of her life for a man who turned out to be a total fraud). But think about it. Even with the deception,
can she prove that her life would have been financially different during those ten years? She was a consenting adult and wouldn't, presumably have stayed with the guy so long if he was a monster. He was just a liar. That could be seen as just a little bit worse or even better than some messy breakups without the lying. It is certainly worth going to a PI lawyer for a consult.

In this case probably YES.
He asked her to "marry" him and she "relied"
on that information to her detriment (damages).
He couldn't fulfill his promise as he was already
married (impossibility).

What this man did was unethical. It sounds like she may have justifiably relied on his representation and this may have harmed her financially. Here is the big question: how much money does this man have? If he is wealthy, this might be a good lawsuit. I am available for a free initial consultation.

Lishan Mountain
|A bird's eye view of Huaqing Hot Spring
from Mt. Lishan
Mt. Lishan has been the tourist destination of many emperors throughout ancient China's history. Many legends about the emperors can be heard here. In ancient times, the mountain used to be the place where Nvwa (the goddess who according to Chinese legend created human beings) did her Rocky melting and Sky-hole patching to save the world. The world famous Emperor Qin Shi Huang built his mausoleum at the foot of the mountain and left the magnificent Terracotta Warriors and Horses. In Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong and the beauty Yangguifei's sorrowful yet beautiful love story happened here. Even in Qing Dynasty, when escaping from Beijing to Xian during the war, Empress Dowager Cixi still went here for a few moments of pleasure.
Mt. Lishan Scenic Spots
Sunset Pavilion (Wanzhao Ting)
The sunset on the mountain is one of the eight scenic sights in Guanzhong (the area between the Loess Plateau and Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi). The Sunset Pavilion (Wanzhao Ting) was built to appreciate the splendid sunset. From the pavilion one can have a bird's eye view of the Huaqing Hot Spring, the East Garden and the Wei River.
Remonstrance Pavilion (Bingjian Ting)
The Remonstrance Pavilion (Bingjian Ting), signifies where Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng (both generals of the Republic of China) caught Chiang Kai-shek (the President of the Republic of China) and forced him to fight against the Japanese invaders during the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945).
The Beacon Tower is where the battlefield report was passed and troops deployed in ancient China. At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Emperor You married a beauty Baosi, but she never smiled once they were married. In order to make her laugh, he lightened the signal fire and teased the vassals. Later when the aggressors intruded, Emperor Zhou lightened the fire but no vassal came to rescue him and the Western Zhou Dynasty was then vanquished.
Laojun Palace (Laojun Dian)
Laojun Palace is the place where Lao Tzu is worshiped. Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and the founder of Taoism. The Laojun Palace is a Taoism Temple. It is said that in Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong has accidentally seen Lao Tzu's manifestation twice in the temple. The white jade statue of Lao Tzu was once worshiped in the temple, however during the Tang Dynasty it was partly destroyed in war. The statue is now reserved in the Shaanxi Historical Museum.

Labour pledges cross party support for changes to Royal succession rules
Following yesterday's Royal Baby news, Labour has pledged cross party cooperation to change the rules of Royal succession to give female children the same rights as males. Sadiq Khan MP, Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary, said:
"It is fantastic news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child. It's only right that we rectify the historical anomaly that prevents the eldest child of the monarch from becoming the Head of State simply because of their gender.
"Labour will co-operate with the Government to ensure that legislation on reforming our laws of Royal succession is in place as speedily as possible."

7 Tips to Creating a Sizzling Sensual Massage Experience HTML version
4. Take Your Time and Explore The
Giving a sensual massage must be relaxing. That is the entire point !
You need to be able to relax to the point that your body can begin recharging ,
dealing with stress and moving on to a unity between itself, and the mind.
Never Rush
We rush through our lives every single day. We rush to work, we rush through
work, we rush home from work. Our lives seem to be non-stop go-go-go.
However, when you are taking part in a sensual
massage, rushing should be the furthest thing from
your mind. If you are in the role as the receiver of the
massage, then you need to be able to put away all
the worries you had in your head, let your
responsibilities wash away and just relax. Feel good
about the entire situation and let the wonderful
feelings of the sensual massage wash over you.
If you are giving the massage, you should take your
time. Allow your hands to wash over the receiver, giving them wonderful feelings
of ecstacy from the slow movements of your hands along their skin. The most
important thing you can do here is take it slow. Do not rush anything, doing so
will only result in a feeling of stress and unease for the receiver.

Alessio Lidozzi The Italian Lawyer Who Steals Investors Money London United Kingdom
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Alessio Lidozzi is an Italian lawyer who comes off as a professional at first, but is criminal in nature and his only intention is to steal money from investors. I invested $200,000 in a bond trading contract with one of his companies and he literally stole it from my account in March of 2013.
Mr. Lidozzi is a criminal and anyone who deals with him directly should report him to local authorities.

Well sir, you seem to want to criticize this website instead of addressing how you have stolen money from unsuspecting investors. Criminal proceedings against you have been initiated.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 REBUTTAL Individual responds
Dear Anonymous....
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013
Dear Anonymous, Unidentified and Unverified Ripoff Customer (Investor) Dear Ripoff Editor Being involved since over ten years as executive\board member in the (between others) Investment Management industry subject to National and International regulation & rules I'm always glad to hear about someone reporting to relevant authorities any potential offence, malpractice or even scam\fraud in order to protect his rights as well as third parties unaware investors from the same supposed abuse; and everyone involved in the Investment and\or Banking activity is aware about how compliance and risk rules\management have changed (and are changing almost on a daily basis) in order to protect, after 2008 and the "too big to fail" crisis, not only "retail" Investors but also much more "sophisticated" Parties from any kind (hided or not) of risk.
On same basis and assumptions what I really do NOT understand and appreciate is how can be possible that in 2013 someone like Ripoff can accept and allow an ANONYMOUS, UNIDENTIFIED and UNVERIFIED entity to publish such content referring to MY NAME absolutely without any control or check instead of advising the Customer to refer to the relevant authority such abuse and report; and what I find even more terrific is that against my request of deleting this page and content the feedback from Ripoff has been to use their VIP Arbitration Program in order to engage one of their Arbitrator to verify that what an Anonymous has published using MY name is false and then remove the content.
To summarize: - Someone (who?.. you will never know, because his\her "privacy" – probably a nickname and another anonymous email - is protected subject to Ripoff "policy"… and what about mine?) instead of reporting a" criminal" (as defined above) activity to authorities is using Ripoff (why? Ripoff would recover his\her, if any, 200k$ stolen?) to betray a crime ; - Ripoff instead of addressing this unknown (and probably unreliable considering the way he\she choose to report a criminal abuse and what he\she reported: "someone who literally stole his\her money from the account"… and how??) customer to relevant authorities is publishing his\her report mentioning MY name (but could be your or any other name actually on the Web: being on LinkedIn as well as on newspapers like WSJ or Property EU etc probably my identity was easier to hacker: I cannot hide… ) without my knowledge or authorization or consent. - Ripoff, again, against my request of deleting\removing such (this is real and proved) abuse is asking me to solve it via their VIP Arbitration Program thus to PAY their "selected and reliable" Arbitrator in order to confirm that an unknown has abused of my Name thanks to their unprofessionalism and luck of compliance: ie I have to PAY them in order to solve a problem and abuse THEY permitted and allowed (alternatively I should suit Ripoff.. clearly more costly than their Arbitrator). I definitely think this is a well organized and addressed SCAM. I (not an anonymous customer) have been literally stolen my identity and I'm the victim of a criminal offense. All Web "customers" need to be aware about how someone can steal your identity so easily and publically and force you to pay a fee (bribe probably is more suitable) in order to get it back. Regards. Alessio Lidozzi

Pressure Cooker Chicken Stock
Pressure cookers reduce cooking time by as much as two-thirds without ruining the food's nutritional value -- making them ideal for a long-cooking stock. This recipe is adapted from "The Pressured Cook" by Lorna Sass.
- Yield: Makes about 2 1/2 quarts
Source: Martha Stewart's Cooking School, Episode 104
- 5 pounds chicken parts (wings, backs, legs, and necks), rinsed
- 10 cups water
- 2 large carrots, scrubbed or peeled, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large ribs celery, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 large onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 dried bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Place chicken and water in an 8 1/2-quart stove-top pressure cooker and bring to a boil over medium-high. Using a ladle, skim impurities and fat that rise to the top. Add vegetables, bay leaf, and peppercorns.
Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. If time permits, let the pressure decrease naturally, about 20 minutes. Otherwise, quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water.
Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. Allow stock to cool slightly. Skim off fat if using immediately, or let cool completely (in an ice-water bath, if desired) before transferring to airtight containers. Refrigerate at least 8 hours to allow the fat to accumulate at the top; lift off and discard fat before using or storing stock.

text: I've been reading about Moringa Oleifera tree. I find this tree very fascinating. It has many uses and is very nutritious. Plus the flowers are a good source of nectar for honey producing bees. It is a tropical tree but I've started growing a couple of seedlings indoors under the grow lights and I hope to keep it living till Spring gets here.

Global financial markets, like the rest of the world, are still trying to get a fix on the economic consequences of Japan's earthquake and tsunami disaster. In a briefing note for National Australia Bank clients, the bank's head of international economics, Tom Taylor, says the damage to property has been estimated at about $200 billion or 4 per cent of Japan's annual gross domestic product.
The early estimates of the impact on output, Taylor says, are generally in the range of 0.25 per cent to 0.5 per cent of annual GDP. The International Monetary Fund's latest forecast growth for the Japanese economy in 2011 is 1.6 per cent. These new estimates suggest growth of between 1.1 and 1.4 per cent.
However, that may prove to be optimistic. A rule of thumb based on studies of major natural disasters in mainly developing economies is that for each 1 per cent of GDP worth of direct damage, economic growth falls by an average of about 0.5 percentage points in the year of the disaster.
A simple application of that rule of thumb suggests a cut of 2 percentage points in Japan's growth rate in 2011, which would mean a contraction in its GDP of about 0.5 per cent – although the economies in the studies are very different from Japan's and there is a wide variation from the average, depending on the nature of the disaster and the underlying strength of the economy.
The larger and more advanced the economy, the smaller usually are the indirect effects of a natural disaster. But as Taylor points out, there could be substantial indirect effects on Japan's production extending well beyond the Tohoku region.
The most important complication in Japan's case is the damage to its nuclear reactors. Taylor warns there could be a loss of 10 per cent of power capacity lasting, perhaps, for several months.
The earthquake and tsunami have also disrupted transport and industry. Several ports, as well as the road and rail systems, are damaged.
"Companies also face an inability to secure necessary components and raw materials," Taylor says."The problem is worsened by the use of just-in-time inventory systems, so there is often not much in the way of stocks to draw down. It is hard to know how long these disruptions will persist but they are an added factor driving down GDP."
However, while Japan's GDP will be adversely affected in the current year, its growth almost certainly will accelerate in the following two years of reconstruction. Taylor is talking about a supplementary budget of more than ¥5 trillion ($64.5 billion), although he says there is speculation about a ¥10 trillion boost to give the economy a jump-start.
The further complication in Japan's case is its very large public debt, which, in gross terms, stands at more than 200 per cent of GDP. That, as everyone knows, is even bigger than Greece's public debt. But Japan is no Greece. For one thing, it runs a current account surplus of about 3 per cent of GDP. This means private saving is more than sufficient to cover the cost of Japanese investment and the Japanese government's deficit (about 10 per cent of GDP last year). The surplus saving is now exported to the rest of the world as foreign investment. This high rate of domestic saving means the Japanese government should be able to support the reconstruction.
A greater worry is the potentially disruptive effect of a sharp reversal of capital flows. That could require rapid monetary policy action by Japan and the nations now dependent on its foreign investment.

Reading/Living Eileen Myles
This morning at the Paris Review Daily you can find a great article about reading Eileen Myles and living the experience of reading Eileen Myles. Rachel Hurn writes about her first encounter with Myles's work while living in San Diego and buying a copy of Chelsea Girls from a used bookstore. She writes:
The first thing I noted about Myles was that her voice on the page reads like she is reading to me. She was reading to me that day in San Diego, sitting on my Craigslist couch with grad-school applications laid out on the floor across the room, about to go study creative nonfiction, whatever that meant. Chelsea Girls is a book of prose that reads like memoir and is called fiction. I didn't know this at the time. I thought it was all true, all about Myles, and in a big way I still think so.
The essays jump around thematically and sequentially, beginning in a gay bar in Augusta, Maine, where Myles tackles a police officer: "I'm a poet, you fools, you asshole cops!" She describes New York in the eighties, taking the F train to Queens to collect her "light blue pills," which she would buy for thirty-five dollars and sell for a hundred: "Go someplace out of your life, come back new, bring it around and make a little money. Clean your apartment. Write some." Myles has a boyfriend: "I thought we looked alike … 'Is that all,' I asked as his dick 'entered' me. That's all I've got, he said." She has a girlfriend: "The first woman put her head between my legs and the complete sin, the absolute moment of sex came back and I was all in one piece coming apart. I was willing to sacrifice all for that moment."
She publishes a book of poetry, A Fresh Young Voice from the Plains (1981), and throws a party at her publisher's loft, where her friends found her discomfort amusing: "How're you doing, Eileen? [Ted] put this faggy little turn on 'Eileen,' like it was a made-up name, something I'm pretending to be. It sounded right." She works at Little, Brown in Boston, a position "underpaid but prestigious," sneaking poems on her electric typewriter. She lives in the East Village on $250 a month, and friends offer her drinks, drugs, and cigarettes, but she is too embarrassed to ask for a steak: "I was thirty-one years old and it was too humiliating to admit I wanted food."
Hurn goes on to talk about how Myles's writing was a sort of life companion as she moves from San Diego to New York, through graduate school and beyond. And finally meets her literary hero:
After the reading at St. Mark's, I approached her, this badass poet who sat at the information desk in the back of the store. All I could manage to say was, "Your voice. Your incredible voice."
She smiled. I told her about leaving San Diego to come to New York, which she had also recently done, except that she was coming back after having taught writing at UCSD. Now she was home. I handed her Chelsea Girls—"Woah, I haven't seen this in a while," she said. On the title page she inscribed a message that looks like one of her poems:
Rachel —
us escaping from
SD now in NY
yay —
It sounds very nice, right? Well, we don't want to pull any spoilers so go to the article and read to the end. Eileen might be getting creeped out!

Want to tell a friend about a certain search result which you like but don't have the time to fire off an email detailing the exact URL of the aforementioned resource? No problem: Google has got just the solution for such situations, and it involves an experimental feature known simply as… +1. Yes, you read that right. Are you ready to start +1-ing your favourite links?
Do you have a Facebook account? If you do, you should be very familiar with the all-too-famous 'Like' button, which allows a user to share content which they like so with other like-minded Facebook users on a user's Friend list. After all, that is what friends are for, right?
Well, as it turns out, Google does not appear to be very content with letting Facebook dominate the online social networking scene, and has rolled out its own version of what appears to the Facebook's Like feature. The difference? Well, it has a better sounding name to it: +1.
No, we are not making this up. Apparently, +1 is an experimental feature on Google Labs. Like its Facebook counterpart, it allows users to flag various Google search results so that your friends can receive recommendations on content which might be of interest to them. To use the feature, all users need to do is to sign in to their Google account, create a public profile, enable the +1 feature on Google Labs and they are good to start +1-ing their various Google search results.
So now that we have a +1 feature from Google, what could be next? Perhaps Google could create a 'Before Lock and Ban' feature to complement '+1', so that administrators could have easy access to a '+1 Before Lock and Ban' option.

Travellers' "real time" experiences and conversations brought to the streets of New York, Chicago and LA
The Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) recently unveiled digital storescapes that harness the power of Twitter to display what's currently being talked about and photographed in Canada to inspire Americans to book a Canadian vacation. The aggregated content brings online conversations, images and videos to the streets of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles this summer.
"It's amazing the multitude of photos and conversations taking place online about Canadian vacation destinations," says Siobhan Chretien, executive director Americas marketing, Canadian Tourism Commission. "We wanted to create an innovative way to use this ongoing stream of content to generate awareness of the breadth and depth of experiences available in Canada in these key U.S. markets."
Developed by the CTC's agency of record DDB Canada the digital storescapes build on the success of the CTC's comprehensive social media strategy and use of user-generated content in their traditional advertising.
"With the proliferation of social media, people like to share what's happening in their lives immediately," says Cosmo Campbell, creative director, DDB Canada, Vancouver. "What better way to showcase all the amazing experiences that are happening in Canada right now, than through an interactive billboard that aggregates those memorable moments captured by travellers in real time. The unexpected nature of the experiences that are being uploaded will surprise passersby and change their perception of Canada."
The storesscapes include 8' x 10' monitors featuring a continuous stream of "tweeted" photos and conversations based on specific search terms of Canadian cities, events and more. Both travellers in Canada and Americans at home are encouraged to tweet and take part in these live billboards and join the "now" conversation about Canada.
Americans can also win a trip to a Canadian destination of their choice by following @keep_exploring on Twitter and @ reply with their favorite Canadian destination. Street teams, equipped with iPads, are on site to encourage passersby to interact with the board and help them participate in the contest, should they not have a Twitter account.
"Not only is the contest simple and attractive, but it also captures important, real-time data of where Americans want to vacation in Canada," adds Chretien.
The storescapes will be available at the following locations until the end of July 2010.
· 750 7th Avenue, New York (at West 49th)
· 366 8th Avenue, New York (at West 28th)
· 150 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago (between Randolf St and E Lake St)
· The Grove, 189 The Grove Drive, Los Angeles
The storescapes are part of a broader campaign, which targets Americans to travel to Canada this summer. Supporting campaign elements include TV and online broadcast spots, online advertising, social media and print.

We are hearing from a Conservative Member of Parliament for the first time about rumors swirling over the possible change of operational control of Granville Island.
Wai Young, who represents Vancouver South, is shooting down any claims the Conservative government is making decisions in secrecy, by saying there is no plans to change management.
"We love it, and it's been successfully managed, and unless there is other options or better options that come up, which don't seem to be on the horizon, I think it's a great place to be."
Port Metro Vancouver, however, confirmed it's in exploratory talks with the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation over the future of the tourist destination.

Spreading Some Developer Love
As our modern-day society evolves into a more interconnected ecosystem via ubiquitous Internet connectivity and the adoption of diverse device usage, we are also noticing that there is growing demand for quality developers and programmers. This trend of a more forward-thinking digital society has driven companies to not only realize, but also prioritize developments in creating faster, more efficient and user-friendly digital services and applications.
Today, apps are revolutionizing the way we interact with brands and businesses, offering a new, alternative avenue to develop business relations with customers. And with APIs powering apps, these business relations are able to flourish through new channels and platforms that were never thought of before.
Just late last week, Victoria Barret wrote a great piece about a kid-run camp that teaches individuals how to code and market iPhone apps. Run by two teens who are 13-years-old (and who stress the importance of having software developing skills in this day and age), the summer camp is just another of several examples that illustrates that regardless of the type of profession or business you're in, it is now fundamentally crucial to invest in developers, otherwise you are effectively useless. It isn't to say that the business or profession that you take part in isn't important, but rather, surviving in today's app-driven, digital economy relies on having developers on your team so that you can have a chance at winning games in the same arenas with software companies like Yelp and Facebook.
The growth of the tech industry isn't just contained in the traditional Silicon Valley area. We're also seeing rapid growth in cities like New York, Boston, and Chicago.
So, what are you waiting for? Go build up your developer team today!

More companies are joining the rush to issue special dividends ahead of higher dividend taxes slated to go into effect next year if Congress can't hammer out a settlement averting the so-called fiscal cliff.
Dish Network (DISH), HCA (HCA), the nation's largest hospital chain, and women's retail apparel chain Cato (CATO) announced they're joining the group issuing special dividends.
Dish shares were down about 1% at 36.70 in Monday midday trading. HCA was up 1.7% at 32.30 and Cato jumped more than 2% to 29.66.
Costco Wholesale (COST) announced a one-time $7 payout last week and top U.S. casino company Las Vegas Sands (LVS) and gun maker Sturm Ruger (RGR) also said they'repaying a special dividend.
Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices told IBD Monday the November tally for companies issuing special dividends is estimated at 226 to 228. Many of the nation's largest companies like Apple (AAPL) have yet to act, he said.
"We still expect a lot more in December unless Congress acts. The only thing that's changed recently is it's the last call to the bar," before the possible huge tax increase, Silverblatt said.
Investors have been paying a maximum 15% tax on dividends since 2003, but the rate is set to expire. In January, dividends will be taxed as ordinary income, meaning the dividend tax would jump to a maximum 43.4%.
HCA, which operates more than 150 hospitals nationwide, will use proceeds from a $1 billion debt offering to pay for a $2 special year-end cash dividend. The company said terms of the notes will depend on market conditions and timing.
Its earnings per share have grown at a double-digit rate five quarters in a row, and shares are trading above both the 50-day and 200-day averages. HCA's stock has a 95 Composite Rating, meaning it's outperformed 95% of all stocks in fundamental and technical characteristics.
Dish, No. 2 U.S. satellite TV service provider behind DirectTV (DTV), will pay a $1 special dividend on Dec. 28. Dish doesn't issue regular quarterly dividends, but has issued special annual dividends for several years. This year's dividend is just half of the $2 it paid last year and the year before.
Dish's EPS have fallen three quarters in a row but it's still trading above its 50- and 200-day averages.
Cato, which operates about 1,300 Cato, Cato Fashions, Cato Plus and Fashion! stores, declared a $1 per share dividend and accelerated the final payment of its full-year $1 dividend payout.
Both are payable on Dec. 28 to shareholders of record on Dec. 14, and are in addition to its regular 25-cent quarterly dividend.

My Question is that I am currently running a limited time product key for my Windows 7on a partition of HD. When I decide to purchase a copy and install it on the primary HD If I restore that version with the backup image will the old or new product key be the one that is present? Also would this be an effective way to have all of the programs that I currently have running in the trial transfered to the main OS or would a complete reinstall be in order?
How-To Geek Forums / Windows 7
Windows 7 activation and Restore(2 posts)
DoyleG, hello. Where did this "limited time product key" come from? The type of this key is important. It would probably have to be a Retail key for the RTM version of Windows 7, in order to be able to switch to a new key without reinstalling.

Cancer Drugs Fund
This page is about the Cancer Drugs Fund. There is information about
The Cancer Drugs Fund is money the Government has set aside to pay for cancer drugs that haven't been approved by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and aren't available within the NHS in England. This may be because the drugs haven't been looked at yet. Or it may be because NICE have said that they don't work well enough or are not cost effective. The aim of the fund is to make it easier for people to get as much treatment as possible.
The Cancer Drugs Fund is for people who live in England. The governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decide on how they spend money on health and so far haven't decided to have a similar programme.
The Cancer Drugs Fund started at the beginning of April 2011 and will continue until the end of March 2016.
The fund is worth £340 million per year. The Government is reviewing how well the fund is working and may make changes.
There is a national list of drugs available through the Fund. You may hear this called the priority list. If you meet the conditions for a drug that is on the list, you should be able to have it on the NHS if you live in England. The Fund will also consider applications on behalf of individual patients for other drugs that are not on the list. This is usually to treat rare cancers.
The list includes information about which type of cancer the drug can be used for and under what circumstances. So it may also include information about the stage of disease and what other treatments you must have already had, or should not have had. This means that although a drug may be funded for one type of cancer, at a particular stage, funding may not be available for the same cancer at a different stage or for another type of cancer.
You can find out which drugs are covered on this link. You will need to scroll down the page it takes you to.
The drugs that the Cancer Drugs Fund covers change as new drugs become available or if NICE makes a decision making the drug routinely available within the NHS. New drugs are added to the list after medical evidence about them has been looked at by a group called the Chemotherapy Clinical Reference Group. There are 4 regional panels of experts that provide summaries of the evidence for a drug to this group. The regional panels cover Northern England, the Midlands and East England, the South of England and London.
Your cancer specialist applies to the Cancer Drugs Fund for you. You can't apply directly yourself. Your cancer specialist is in the best position to suggest treatment that is best for you and provide evidence to the panel about why they think you need the treatment. The application has to be supported by the lead cancer doctor for your hospital Trust (the clinical cancer lead).
Your cancer specialist makes the decision based on
- Your type and stage of cancer
- Any treatments you have had
- Your general health.
The specialist also talks to you about what you want. There is a separate application form for each drug, which includes information about the cancer type, stage and any other conditions that have to be met, such as other treatments you must have already had.
You can read more about this on the pages about treatment types in our cancer types section. Choose your cancer type from the list, go to the treatment section and then choose the page called 'types of treatment'.
Your cancer specialist applies to the Cancer Drugs Fund panel for your area of England (North, Midlands and East, South and London). Your doctor must have already considered any other treatments already available for your type and stage of cancer.
If the drug your specialist is applying for is on the national Cancer Drugs Fund list, your specialist thinks it is appropriate for you, and you want it, it is likely that you will be able to have the drug.
This is not always as easy a decision as it first appears. Many of the drugs that are on the list are for people who have already had all the other treatments available. It is important to discuss all the pros and cons to having any of these treatments with your specialist. You can find information about individual cancer drugs and their side effects in the treatment section. Choose the cancer drug from the alphabetical dropdown list to get to the information. There is also information on the research page for your cancer type about new treatments and research that is ongoing.
If the drug your doctor wants you to have is not included in the list, the Cancer Drugs Fund panel makes a decision. The Panel includes specialist cancer doctors, pharmacists, specialists in public health and patient representatives. If they decide not to pay for the drug they will give a full explanation about why they have made that decision.
They make a decision by looking at
- The reasons why your specialist thinks you need it
- Your stage of disease and general health
- What other treatments are available
- The evidence about how well the drug works and possible side effects
- The cost of the drug
Doctors can appeal against funding decisions but only if they believe that the CDF panel did not follow the right process or did not take all the available evidence into account.
The Cancer Drugs Fund panels understand that it is important for decisions to be made as quickly as possible. If the drug you need is on the national list, your doctor may simply have to fill in a form and you will be able to have the drug within a few days. Your specialist should be able to tell you how long it is likely to take.
If your doctor has to make an individual application to the CDF panel, the NHS Commissioning Board say that the Panel will usually respond within 10 days. They recognise that it is important to make these decisions as quickly as possible because they are usually for people who are seriously ill.
If you are unable to have the drug you want, you are likely to be very disappointed. It can be difficult to come to terms with. You may feel a range of emotions including anger. It can help to talk to your specialist about why funding was turned down.
It may also be worth speaking to your specialist about whether there are any other treatments you can have. There are often trials of new experimental treatments going on and you may be able to take part in one of them. Our clinical trials database has a list of trials both open and closed. There is also information about different types of trials and about taking part in a trial.

The audio pronunciations in British English and American English will help you to practise speaking in English with confidence.
If you're just starting out on your journey into English, our clear definitions will make learning new words and phrases easier. We don't want you to be confused by unnecessarily complicated definitions, so we have written them in clear, simple English, using a controlled vocabulary of just 2,500 of the most frequent words in English: words you are sure to know.
What are the most frequent words in English? We know that there are 7,500 important words in speaking and writing that every learner needs to know. These words are in red. The stars show how common the words are:words are used a lot, words are used more, and words are used the most.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell how one word is different from another word. For instance, what is the difference between a whimper and a moan? Or a shout and a scream? The sound effect buttons will help to make the differences clearer.
Word sets and synonym boxes help to build vocabulary.
Thesaurus entries provide synonyms or related words for every meaning of every word.
'Get it right' boxes show real examples of the difficulties people have with particular words or phrases, and and how to avoid making mistakes.

Jerusalem – While we generally think of water in nature as acool liquid that we can see -- streams, lakes, oceans -- there is agreat deal of "hot fluid" activity taking place far out of sight, deepwithin the earth, that influences what ultimately takes place on thesurface, including the amount of rainfall and the buildup of new landmass.
What exactly is the nature of that hidden fluid deepbeneath the surface and what changes does it undergo as it seeks anever-deeper venue? Answer to these questions can be found in article ina recent issue of the journal Nature by Dr. Ronit Kessel of the HebrewUniversity's Institute of Earth Sciences and her collaborators Prof.Max Schmidt, Prof. Peter Ulmer and Dr. Thomas Pettke from the SwissFederal Institute of Technology, Zurich. In the article, theresearchers report on a unique study in which fluids released fromsubmerging earth plates at depths of 120-180 kilometers andtemperatures between 700 and 1200 degrees centigrade are characterizedfor the first time.
Although the earth is principally a solidplanet, water plays a major role in its evolution and differentiation.The presence of fluid affects the depth, temperature and composition ofthe melting that takes place deep within the bowels of the earth.
Thesurface of the earth is broken into large plates which move onerelative to the other. When two plates collide, one plate can push theother downwards towards the center, carrying water deep into themantle, which is the area between the earth's crust and its core. Aswater enters the interior of the earth, it passes through water-rich(hydrous) minerals in the rock.
These hydrous minerals break downat depths of 50 to 200 kilometers, facilitating melting and ultimatelyleading to the super-heated volcanic zone. It is volcanic eruptionswhich regenerate our continental lithosphere (crust). Such volcanoescreated, for example, the Aegean islands in southern Greece (the mostfamous of them is Santorini, which erupted in the 16th century B.C.E.),the "ring of fire" around the Pacific Ocean, and more.
Thesevolcanoes eject many gases, for example carbon dioxide, to theatmosphere. These gases lead to thickening of the clouds and rain. As aresult, water carried down to the interior of the earth influenceprecipitation on the surface. In addition, water at depth dissolvessignificant amounts of matter. The mobility of the water at depths alsoresults in recycling other elements (including elements of economicvalue, such as chromium, nickel and vanadium) from place to place.
Inorder to characterize the fluids participating in every stage of thedownward water cycle, the Hebrew University and Swiss researchersdeveloped a novel experimental and analytical laboratory technique bywhich the composition of a fluid phase can be directly analyzedfollowing high pressure and temperature experiments. Their work focusedon determining how much water is stored in the down-going earth plate,how much dissolved matter it contains, and when these fluids arereleased from the plate and transferred to the mantle.
Theresults indicate that up to 180 kilometers deep, two kinds of fluidsexist. One, at higher levels, is a fluid rich in water (70-90%) withonly a little dissolved matter in it. This fluid exists at relativelylow temperatures. The second component is a thick "hydrous melt," richin dissolved matter, which contains only 10-30% water. This componentis a result of melting of the hydrous rocks at high temperature.
Intheir studies, the researchers found that different minerals displayvarying "preferences" for solubility, depending on the temperature atvarious depth levels.
Beyond a depth of 180 kilometers, only onekind of fluid exists, which is called supercritical liquid. Asupercritical liquid is defined as a component which smoothly changesits character from fluid-like to a more solid, melt-like state, but isneither.
The researchers stress that it is essential todistinguish between melts, fluids and supercritical liquids in order toachieve a better understanding of the relationship between thedown-going plate and volcanic eruptions and how matter is transferredin the earth interior.

A worm named Schmidtea mediterranea has the unique ability to regenerate not just its body, but also its head and brain. Now, scientists studying the worm have discovered one of the genes that allows it to accomplish this amazing feat.
The gene, called "smed-prep," regulates the location and structure of the flatworm's brain during regeneration. When the gene is absent, the worm forms a stump with random junk from other parts of its body, but no brain. When it's expressed in other areas of the body, heads can be made to sprout from anywhere.
"One of the main goals in the lab was to understand the mechanisms that allowed this worm to regenerate its head, brain and sensory organs," said molecular biologist Aziz Aboobaker of the University of Nottingham, lead author of the paper published in PLoS Genetics April 22. "It's a big problem because you have to make this all from the old tissue. The cells have to mobilize, migrate to the right place and differentiate."
The S. med worm is small, but has complex organs and a primitive bilateral brain. Not only can it regenerate its head and brain, but each piece you cut off (down to about 1 millimeter) can re-grow into a complete organism. The worm can do this because about 25 percent of its cells are stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell type.
To find the gene, Aboobaker scanned the worm's genome looking for developmental genes. After testing several other genes, Aboobaker's team stumbled upon smed-prep, whose expression was concentrated in the worm's head region.
To see how the gene affected the worm's ability to regenerate, they tricked the cell into destroying any messenger RNA or protein made from it, using interfering RNA. The worms who had their gene expression cut down were unable to regenerate their brains after amputation, but other aspects of the regeneration process were unaffected.
"That's the interesting thing, we haven't killed them off, they are still healthy," Aboobaker said. "They just can't navigate or find food."
Humans have a gene that is similar in biochemical structure and genetic code to smed-prep, but its function in humans is unknown. Related genes in other vertebrates, like mice and zebrafish, are expressed in the brain during embryo formation.
"The most interesting aspect of this paper is its evolutionary perspective," said cell biologist Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado, of the University of Utah, because C. elegans (a commonly studied worm) and drosophila (the fruitfly) do not appear to have evolved a directly corresponding gene. Alvarado previously discovered two other genes involved with S. med's head regeneration process.
The worm and its properties can teach us more about human health, because it's a good model system to learn about stem cells, regeneration and aging, said Aboobaker.
"You can't just make neurons from stem cells, then insert them into your brain, because you have no idea what would happen," he said. "If you ask someone to make you a brain from a ball of tissue, they won't be able to, because we don't know how. But the worm does."
The team's next step is to determine what other genes are regulated when smed-prep is turned on and off. "Finding [smed-prep] means you can find which genes don't turn on properly when it is knocked down," Aboobaker said. "Those are the genes that must be involved in this network that makes the brain."

DescriptionThe new Crow Mercantile, located on the Crow Indian Reservation in south central Montana, replaces the previous smaller 1920s vintage grocery store with an 8,600 SF energy efficient building. Not only are the owners proud of their new development and the pleasant and unique shopping environment it provides, the store is more convenient for their customers and also creates jobs for people in Crow Agency, a stimulus to the local economy.
Notable features of the building include: structurally insulated wall and roof panels, Kalwall windows and skylights, operable skylight for night-time flushing, concrete floors for radiant heating and cooling, heat reclaim for the radiant and refrigeration systems, and provisions for rainwater collection and photovoltaic systems. The exterior walls are economically clad in rusted, powder coated and galvanized metals for installation ease, maximum durability, and low maintenance. The interior features lighting on photocells to maximize the use of daylighting to reduce electrical demands when artificial lighting is not necessary. Structural materials like concrete and Oriented Strand Board (OSB) were left exposed, providing durable finishes that eliminate the cost and environmental impact of additional finish materials.
The Crow Mercantile has served its customers' basic needs for more than 60 years. Now, with more than triple the store size and inventory, they draw even more customers and visitors from around the area while being a showcase building for sustainable design and energy efficiency. Not only is it more convenient for their customers but also creates jobs for people in Crow Agency and stimulates the the local economy. The Crow Mercantile is currently pursuing LEED® and hopes to achieve Platinum Certification in the upcoming months.

A real home from home
We came here to celebrate a special birthday and had the best time. Louisa and Mandy gave us excellent information before our visit and we arrived to find wine, birthday cake, flowers and a card which was a wonderful start to our visit. The house is cosy, warm, clean and comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly want. The views from Craobh Haven are stunning and we had a fantastic birthday meal in the Lords of the Isles. We spent a great day visiting Kilmartin Glen and the Crinan area and another day visiting the Isle of Seil, Oban and Dunstaffnage. There is so much to do in the area that we could have been busy every day, but it is also a lovely place just to rest and relax. A memorable holiday.
Lovely cottage in a fantastic location on the West Coast
Had a great stay here...the cottage, views and surroundings were all amazing. Exceeded expectations
It was wonderful
My husband and I and our 2 young children had one of our best holidays. Louisa and Mandy gave us brilliant advice before our trip - the house was wonderful. We loved the pub, the people, the area, the scenery and there was so much to do for us all. Even the wet, windy days were fun as we were able to sit by the fire, eat the delicious scones cooked by jo and play board games. A huge thank you and we would recommend this to anyone.
Lovely quiet house
West Highlands are a lovely area to visit and Craobh Haven was hidden right next to the sea, close enough to all the places we wanted to visit.
The house is pretty and cosy, nicely decorated and very clean. We enjoyed our welcoming gift very much and had a great stay overall.
The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds very comfy. The house is warm and can be heated up quickly and using the stove is a nice bonus.
The only downside I'd say is that the bath in one of the bathrooms cannot really be used as a shower by adults due to height restrictions but that was absolutely fine.
Importantly, Mandy and Louise have been very helpful from the beginning of the booking and are great hosts.
I would highly recommend staying there!
Loved our stay in Mullach Dubh in Craobh Haven
Mullach Dubh provided a perfect location from which to explore the area of Scotland near Oban. The house was cozy and inviting, with enough room for two couples to be very comfortable. The fireplace was a plus for the cool evenings. Everything we needed was provided. Upon arrival we found a much appreciated welcome basket. Mandy and Louise have done an unbelievable job of providing information about the house, the area, and detailed directions to the house - with many suggestions of stops along the way. After busy days of exploring the area, it was so nice to return to a quiet location for the evening.
Comfortable, well equipped and cosy.
We had a lovely time at this cottage. The hamlet is very pretty with stunning sunsets over the habour. The food at the local pub is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Would have liked to have used the open fire but it wasn't cold enough even though it was mid September. The storage heaters were on low when we arrived and this gave sufficient background warmth. The living room is very comfortable with plenty of space and a good supply of games, DVD and music. The ipod docking station was very useful. We found the galley kitchen a little small as we enjoy cooking and it's not really big enough for more than one person at a time to work in but it was well equipped.
We didn't meet our hosts but their directions were excellent and the house was clean and well maintained and we were welcomed with a bottle of wine and homemade scones. The surrounding area is stunning and there are lots of lovely walks and places to visit nearby. Great place to chill out and relax.
Activity and Interests
Craobh Haven between Oban and Lochgilphead is a stunningly beautiful, peaceful tranquil marina village. It has many walks, drives, unspoilt beaches, sea, lochs and views. Arguably this area is the most beautiful in all Argyll and has the best seafood, fish and local meat in many restaurants, cafes and shops. Thriving Oban, with its busy shopping centre, restaurants, ferries to Hebridean islands, is on the way to Glencoe and Fort William. Perfect area for walking, golfing, cycling or wildlife watching. A great day out is the Mull of Kintyre boasting Macrihanish Golf Course, surfing beaches, wide golden sands, whisky trails, great food. Great location for island hopping too - all the inner and outer Hebridean islands- Mull, Iona, Skye, Islay, Jura, the Uists and many more.
