Back to:Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013
Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2013
The estimates contained in the PEFO are based on forecasts and projections of the economic outlook. Changes to the economic assumptions underlying the estimates will impact on receipts and payments, and hence the size of the underlying cash balance.
This appendix examines the effects on receipts and payments of altering some of the key economic assumptions. Tables D2 and D4 illustrate the sensitivity of key components of receipts and payments to possible variations in the economic outlook. The two scenarios considered are:
The economic scenarios provide a rule of thumb indication of the impact on receipts, payments and the underlying cash balance of changes in the economic outlook. They represent a partial economic analysis only and do not attempt to capture all the economic feedback and other policy responses related to changed economic conditions. In particular, the analysis assumes no change in the exchange rate, interest rates or policy over the forecast period. The impact of the two scenarios on the economic parameters would be different if the full feedback response on economic variables and likely policy actions were taken into account. The analysis does not aim to provide an alternative picture of the economic forecasts under these scenarios, but instead gives an indication of the sensitivity associated with different components of receipts and payments to changes in the economy. As such, the changes in the economic variables and their impact on the fiscal outlook are merely illustrative.
The impacts shown in the tables below are broadly symmetrical. That is, impacts of around the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction, would apply if the terms of trade were to increase or if real GDP were to decrease.
The first scenario involves a permanent fall in world prices of non‑rural commodity exports in 2013‑14 consistent with a fall in the terms of trade of around 4 per cent, which causes a 1 per cent fall in nominal GDP by 2014‑15. The sensitivity analysis evaluates the flow‑on effects on the economy, the labour market and prices. The impacts in Table D1 are stylised and refer to per cent deviations from the baseline levels of the economic parameters.
Assuming no change in exchange rates or interest rates, the fall in export prices leads directly to a lower non‑farm GDP deflator (from the export component of GDP) and lower domestic incomes. Lower domestic incomes cause both consumption and investment to fall, resulting in lower real GDP, employment and wages. The fall in aggregate demand puts downward pressure on domestic prices.
In reality, a fall in the terms of trade would be expected to lead to a fall in the exchange rate, although the magnitude is particularly uncertain in the short term. In the event of a fall in the exchange rate, the impacts on the external sector would dampen the real GDP effects, and there would be some offsetting upward pressure on domestic prices.
Given these assumptions, the overall impact of the fall in the terms of trade is a decrease in the underlying cash balance of around $3.1 billion in 2013‑14 and around $6.0 billion in 2014‑15 (see Table D2).
On the receipts side, a fall in the terms of trade results in a fall in nominal GDP which reduces tax collections. The largest impact is on company tax receipts as the fall in export income decreases company profits. Owing to lags in the tax system, the effect on company tax is larger in 2014‑15. Lower company profits are assumed to flow through to lower Australian equity prices, therefore reducing capital gains tax from individuals, companies and superannuation funds.
The weaker economy results in lower aggregate demand, which flows through to lower employment and wages, reducing individuals' income tax receipts. The decrease in disposable incomes leads to lower consumption, which in turn results in a decrease in GST receipts (decreasing GST payments to the States by the same amount) and other indirect taxes.
On the payments side, a significant proportion of government expenditure is partially indexed to movements in costs (as reflected in various price and wage measures). Some forms of expenditure, in particular income support payments, are also driven by the number of beneficiaries.
The overall estimated expenditure on income support payments (including pensions and allowances) increases in both years because of a higher number of unemployment benefit recipients. The increase in unemployment benefits in 2014‑15 is partly offset by reduced expenditure on pensions and allowances reflecting lower growth in benefit rates resulting from lower wages growth and lower inflation. At the same time, other payments linked to inflation fall in line with the reduced growth in prices.
The reduction in the underlying cash balance results in a higher borrowing requirement and a higher public debt interest cost.
As noted above, under a floating exchange rate, the fall in the exchange rate would dampen the effects of the fall in the terms of trade on real GDP, meaning the impact on the fiscal position could be substantially more subdued. Also, to the extent that the fall in the terms of trade is temporary rather than permanent, the impact on the economic and fiscal position would be more subdued.
The second scenario involves a permanent 0.5 per cent increase in both the participation rate and labour productivity, resulting in a 1 per cent increase in the level of real GDP from 2013‑14. Once again, the sensitivity analysis evaluates the flow‑on effects on the economy, the labour market and prices. The impacts in Table D3 are stylised and refer to per cent deviations from the baseline levels of the parameters.
The 1 per cent increase in real GDP increases nominal GDP by slightly less but the magnitude of the effects on receipts, payments and the underlying cash balance differ from the first scenario because different parts of the economy are affected in different ways.
The increases in labour force participation and labour productivity have the same impact on output, but different impacts on the labour market. Higher productivity leads to higher real GDP and higher real wages, while an increase in the participation rate increases employment and real GDP. Imports are higher in this scenario, reflecting higher domestic incomes.
Since the supply side of the economy expands, inflation falls relative to the baseline. The lower domestic prices make exports more attractive to foreigners, with the resulting increase in exports offsetting higher imports, leaving the trade balance unchanged. The exchange rate is assumed to be unchanged.
The overall impact of the increase in labour productivity and participation is an increase in the underlying cash balance of around $2.9 billion in 2013‑14 and around $3.7 billion in 2014‑15 (see Table D4).
On the receipts side, individuals' income tax collections increase because of the rise in the number of wage earners and, additionally, higher real wages. The stronger labour market also increases tax collections from superannuation funds because contributions (including compulsory contributions) are higher. The increase in personal incomes leads to higher consumption which results in an increase in GST receipts (with the corresponding receipts passed on in higher GST payments to the States). In addition, the stronger economy results in higher levels of corporate profitability, increasing company taxes.
On the payments side, overall estimated expenditure on income support payments (including pensions and allowances) is slightly higher primarily reflecting growth in benefit rates through their indexation to wages. Lower inflation has a partially offsetting effect.
On balance, the rise in estimated tax collections is only partially offset by increased payments. This improves the underlying cash position, which results in a lower borrowing requirement and lower public debt interest cost.
To the extent that the increases in productivity and participation are temporary rather than permanent, the impact on the economic and fiscal position would be more subdued.

Not too many consumers took notice, however, so after taking stock of their prospects, Flores and Garcia retooled Evildead's lineup with new members Dan Flores (guitar), Karlos Medina (bass, and another Agent Steel alum), and drummer Doug Clawson prior to recording 1991's The Underworld. Unfortunately, it too failed to impress the marketplace -- despite flirting with the day's more current death metal style -- and, after delivering a final live album with the following year's From the Depths of the Underworld, Evildead quietly shut down shop. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Taking advantage of NASCAR's decision
to allow hard-liquor sponsorship, Robby Gordon said Wednesday that
Jim Beam bourbon will be a backer of his new Nextel Cup team.
Jim Beam will join Fruit of the Loom in sharing primary
sponsorship for the car Gordon will drive this year. Fruit of the
Loom, which backed Gordon's Busch series effort last season, said
Tuesday that it will sponsor Gordon in nine Cup races in 2005. Jim
Beam said it will back Gordon in an undisclosed number of races and
serve as an associate sponsor for additional events.
NASCAR lifted its ban on hard-liquor ads on cars in November,
easing restrictions aimed at cleaning up the image of a sport that
traces its roots to moonshine runners in the hills of Georgia and
the Carolinas.
"We felt the time was right,'' NASCAR president Mike Helton
said when making the announcement last fall. "Attitudes have
changed, and spirits companies have a long record of responsible
NASCAR has allowed beer and malt liquor sponsorships, but had
restricted what liquor companies could do since the sport's modern
era began in 1972. As a condition of the change in policy, NASCAR
will require that liquor companies follow advertising guidelines
set by the sanctioning body.
Jim Beam joins Crown Royal, which will sponsor series champion
Kurt Busch's Roush Racing entry, and Jack Daniel's, which will back
the Richard Childress Racing entry driven by Dave Blaney.

About Mt. Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 19,340 feet (5,895 meters)
Location: Tanzania, east Africa
First Ascent: Hans Meyer (Germany), Yoanas Kinyala Lauwo (Tanzania), and Ludwig Purtscheller (Austria) on October 5, 1889.
Fast Facts:
- The meaning and origin of the name Kilimanjaro is unknown. It is thought to be a combination of the Swahili word Kilima, meaning "mountain," and the KiChagga word Njaro, loosely translated as "whiteness," giving the name White Mountain. The name Kibo in KiChagga means "spotted" and refers to rocks seen on snowfields. The name Uhuru translates as "freedom," a name given to commemorate Tanzanian independence from Great Britain in 1961.
- Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa and fourth highest of the Seven Summits, is considered the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, rising 15,100 feet (4,600 meters) from base to summit.
- Kilimanjaro is composed of three distinct volcanic cones: Kibo 19,340 feet (5,895 meters); Mawenzi 16,896 feet (5,149 meters); and Shira 13,000 feet (3,962 meters). Uhuru Peak is the highest summit on Kibo's crater rim.
- Kilimanjaro is a giant stratovolcano that began forming a million years ago when lava spilled from the Rift Valley zone. The mountain was built by successive lava flows. Two of its three peaks—Mawenzi and Shira—are extinct while Kibo, the highest peak is dormant and could erupt again. The last major eruption was 360,000 years ago, while the most recent activity was only 200 years ago.
- Kilimanjaro has 2.2 square kilometers of glacial ice and is losing it quickly due to global warming. The glaciers have shrunk 82% since 1912 and declined 33% since 1989. It may be ice free within 20 years, dramatically affecting local drinking water, crop irrigation, and hydroelectric power.
- Kilimanjaro lies within the 756-square-kilometer Kilimanjaro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is one of the few places on earth that encompasses every ecological life zone including tropical jungle, savannah, and desert to montane forests, subalpine plants, and the alpine zone above timberline.
- Kilimanjaro was first climbed on October 5, 1889 by German geologist Hans Meyer, Marangu scout Yoanas Kinyala Lauwo, and Austrian Ludwig Purtscheller. After reaching the summit, Meyer later wrote that they gave "three ringing cheers, and in virtue of my right as its first discoverer christened this hitherto unknown—the loftiest spot in Africa and the German Empire—Kaiser Wilhelm's Peak."
- Kilimanjaro has five common routes to its highest summit: Marangu Route; Machame Route; Rongai Route; Lemosho Route; and Mweka Route. Machame and Lemosho routes are popular and scenic. Marangu is easiest and busy although the last ascent to the crater rim is diffic

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Finding the best option for your medical marijuana needs can be difficult with so many distributors to choose from. The following is a brief overview of the most important things to look for when choosing a dispensary or primary care center. Each individual will be seeking different aspects when it comes to the shopping experience or their marijuana so you must decide which factors are the most important to you. These factors are listed for your consideration, in no particular order.
The quality of the cannabis is one of the most important factors to consider. Whether you are using it for the medicinal or the recreational effects, you are using it for the effect. The effect that you receive will be related directly to the quality of the marijuana. It is essential that the distributor you choose to buy from has the buds that are equal to the quality you expect.
Price is nearly as important as the quality is. For some people, it is the most important quality. While prices will vary from one state to the next, it is important to remember that you do not have to settle on cheap swag. Do not choose a dispensary that is overcharging for the quality that you can find elsewhere for less. Keep in mind that in some areas dispensaries buy from each other and then sell the same product at a lower price than where they bought it from. Shop around for the best pricing.
It might be somewhat easy to find excellent quality at great prices, but selection is another story. Many dispensaries just lack in the area of choices. One of the most fun reasons to smoke is to experience the different strains. If you smoke one strain for too long you will build up a tolerance to it, making selection another important aspect when you are choosing your dispensary. A dispensary with 25 or more strains to choose from is a distributor with a large selection. Many of these distributors will operate on a pricing system that is tiered. By taking some time you can check out as many strains as possible and compare the lower priced strains with some of the top shelf buds until you find one that is lower in price that matches the quality you are seeking.
The location of the dispensary is also essential. You do not want to have to drive a ridiculous distance to pick up your marijuana, although the distributor closest to your house may not be the best option either. When you have the opportunity, stop in at the dispensaries as you pass by. Even if you are not prepared to buy you can always check them out and let them know you are just browsing at the moment. Unless you stop in you will not know if it is worth going back or not.
The final factor to consider is the customer service experience. The bud tender should be customer oriented, know the various strains that are available and keep stems out of your bag. Good customer service includes getting to know you, your name, preferences and your budget.

How to consolidate your debtPosted by Steven Martin on Aug 29, 2015 in Debt Consolidation, Loans Solutions, Multiple Loans | Comments Off on How to consolidate your debt
If you're suffering from having to pay out multiple loans, you need to find a solution for that, or else you'll never be able to get out of them. The problem with having multiple loans is the fact that you have to pay various interest rates on them, and you have to pay them to several organizations, which makes it even more difficult. One way of dealing with that could be debt consolidation, which, in short, means taking one big loan to pay out all the various loans you already have. This could be a good thing, and we offer you some ways you can do this.
Before we tell you about different ways you can consolidate your debt, we really ought to inform you that, before starting this, you need to know whether debt consolidation would be good for you, or if it would just be another expense for you. Do the entire math and figure that out, and if is looks that the consolidation would be better, than do it.Also, you need to know that debt consolidation has its limitations. It won't make your debt any smaller, it will only consolidate it.
The first method of consolidating your debt is through an unsecured personal loan. This type of debt consolidation is done by contacting your bank, or any other institution that is lending you money, and see what kind of a credit score you have. You need to know that a bad one can severely limit your options when it comes to consolidation. There is a chance that you cannot get a loan, but there is way still. You can get an unsecured loan, but there is a problem with this – it is unsecured! However, if you pay your installments on time, there is a chance to get a low-interest loan.
The second method of consolidating your debt comes in the form of getting a loan by offering your property as a collateral. Like in the previous method, here you will also need to contact your bank or a lending institution first, and tell them that you are interested in offering your property as a collateral. Then, you will need to get your property assessed, and based on that; you will be able to get a loan. Just make sure you pay everything in time, and you shouldn't have a problem with this loan, and there will be no need to worry about your property.
The third method of consolidating you debt gets done by obtaining a new credit card. First of all, you will need to search for some credit card options with extremely low interests. This may be difficult to find, but you need to stick to it. Then, you will need to pick a credit card, and you should pick the one that has a credit limit that is suitable for you. It would be best to find some cards that offer 0% initial interest periods, but if you are unable to find such, try to find the one that is the most like it.

>Why not try the real thing a leaf of Aloe vera sold in many plant
I'm sure the real thing would work. However, I have two problems.
First, my house is small and the lighting isn't real good for growing
plants indoors. Secondly, the way I am using hand cream would
probably require growing 100 plants or more.
>Humans have in total about 7 pg [DNA]
Plants appear to have a lot of duplication of genetic material. With
60 chromosomes hostas would certainly appear to be of polypoid origin.
Given that humans only have about 7 pg of DNA and hostas average
around 30 pg, might it not be possible that hostas could actually be
allo-hexaploids, and in fact could have a complicated origin that may
have occured different times.
Several years ago I collected some open pollinated seeds from Charlie
Purtymun's garden, but I didn't keep track of the pod parents. I know
I collected some seeds from some of the small species he had. I've
been growing about a half dozen seedlings with pinkish roots. The
pink isn't real deep colored, but it's there all the time and these
are three year old seedlings. So far only one seems to set pods, but
I have seed from the best plant used as a pollen parent. Whether or
not they germinate is something else. Do you know which species is
the source for pinkish colored roots?

A retired Massachusetts judge is defending her decision to order a mentally ill woman to have an abortion and be sterilized against her wishes.
Christina Harms is also criticizing Boston University for withdrawing a job offer after her ruling sparked controversy and was overturned by the state Appeals Court.
Harms, who retired last month, defended her ruling in a letter she sent Monday to other Massachusetts family court judges, saying she believed the schizophrenic woman would have chosen to have an abortion if she had been mentally competent. The letter was first reported by The Boston Globe.

The Stuart dynasty continued in a slightly modified form after the deposition of James II in 1688, contrary to the dates given in a correction below. Parliament invited James's daughter, Mary II, to be co-regent with her husband, and cousin, William III; they were succeeded by Mary's sister, Anne, whose death in 1714 brought the reign of the house of Stuart to an end.
We said in error that the former deputy political editor of the Times, Tom Baldwin, had been moved to Washington at the instigation of the paper's political commentator, Peter Riddell, after publication in September last year of Mr Baldwin's story on some controversial after-dinner remarks made by the Today presenter John Humphrys. Mr Baldwin has asked us to point out that he applied for the Washington post in late 2004, was appointed in May 2005 and moved there in August that year. The move was unconnected to the John Humphrys story and we apologise for the confusion and any embarrassment caused.
A panel headed The villains, which accompanied a feature on a list of the 10 worst Britons, compiled by historians, had an entry for the Duke of Cumberland and noted his part in quelling the "Jacobean rebellion" in 1746 (page 11, December 27). The rebellion was Jacobite, meaning adherents of the Stuart dynasty after James II was deposed in 1688. Jacobean refers to the period from 1603-25, during the reign of James I of England and VI of Scotland.

Law firms are understandably eager to recoup the £150,000 or so they spend producing each new lawyer, but at £150 an hour or more for a trainee, these have got to be some truly special people.
Newly qualified junior barristers at any of the leading commercial sets cost an average of £50 an hour, and for £150 you can have your pick of advocates with in excess of five years' experience. But do barristers really represent better value than solicitors?
It's very easy to scoff at the 'best value' bar argument when silks command hourly rates from £1,000 to infinity, brief fees top £3m and daily refreshers of up to £10,000 are often circulated. But these are solely for the handful of barristers inhabiting the rarefied elite of the commercial bar – and even a daily refresher for Lord Grabiner QC can mean you get his undivided attention for less than £1,000 an hour.
In the world of ordinary mortals at the bar, hourly rates for silks at the top 10 sets start at around £300, while junior barristers of 10 years' call – longer than most partnership tracks – command anything from £175 to £350 an hour. This is a long way short of the £500 an hour average for the City's finest partners (that's before you even get to the additional burden of their assistants, trainees and paralegals).
Not that the commercial bar can be considered cheap compared with solicitors. While a couple of sets carry the odd tenant whose earnings failed to top £10,000 last year, newly qualified junior barristers at the top sets should expect their earnings to be pushing £100,000 in year one, and at least one senior junior this year followed in the footsteps of Lawrence Rabinowitz QC in topping the magic £1m before having taken silk.
Where the bar is struggling is in finding fresh avenues for growth, with total revenues hitting a plateau over the past couple of years. Only One Essex Court – runners-up to Matrix for Chambers of the Year at last week's The Lawyer Awards, and Wilberforce Chambers, winners of the award in 2003, were able to post anything near double-digit growth.
That growth will not be sustained by straightforward commercial litigation – claims in the Queen's Bench Division plummeted from 120,000 in 1994 to under 15,000 last year. Many have turned to the Chancery Division, where Wilberforce reigns supreme; but although more stable, it too cannot supply the volume of work necessary to satisfy a hungry commercial bar.
Expect the bar to follow its solicitor colleagues with a rate rise anytime soon.

Letter: Don't fall for bait-and-switch
To the editor:
There is a bait-and-switch scam that is trying to creep into Bristol. Do not be fooled by it.
The bait is a promise to save money by changing the town's street lights to LED lights.
The switch-and-scam are that, in doing so, the town would acquire ownership of the lights. That is socialism, and, like all socialism, the costs would be higher, not lower.
That is not just an opinion. Published plans written by the scammers themselves describe how they would use fictitious, contrived numbers, and taxpayer-funded subsidies to make the scheme work.
In case you wonder why organizers are doing this, I believe it is because Rhode Island is such a loser state that gaming the system and defrauding the taxpayer is the only work that they can find to do. It is exactly like the 38 Studios, et. al.
If you are against socialism, of if you are against frauds and leeches, then make sure that you are heard loud and clear by the Town Council. They need your help.

Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has survived the Hunger Games twice. But now that she's made it out of the bloody arena live, she's still not safe. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge....
Still hungry? Listen to more Hunger Games.
©2010 Suzanne Collins (P)2010 Scholastic Audio
"At its best the trilogy channels the political passion of 1984, the memorable violence of A Clockwork Orange, the imaginative ambience of The Chronicles of Narnia and the detailed inventiveness of Harry Potter." (New York Times Book Review)
"Unfolding in Collins' engaging, intelligent prose and assembled into chapters that end with didn't-see-that-coming cliffhangers, this finale is every bit the pressure cooker of its forebears. [Mockingjay] is nearly as shocking, and certainly every bit as original and thought provoking, as The Hunger Games. Wow." (Los Angeles Times)
"Fans will be happy to hear that Mockingjay is every bit as complex and imaginative as Hunger Games and Catching Fire." (Entertainment Weekly)
"OK... but disapointing"
In a word... letdown. The story plods along, rehashing and re-telling old stories until the last few chapters where things get interesting only to have the main characters enter a pointless struggle, then alot of tedious, boring fill in the blank storytelling. A weak ending to a decent trilogy.
"Last book is good but you really need to attention"
The the right people come out on top. There are a lot more characters involed in this story
The ending
Level voice and we are able to connect with the character
I hope that there's another one
I have loved books every since I could read. During my elementary & high school days I spent my time in libraries getting books to read.
A riveting, emotional, and more than expected ending to a well written spectacular arena's beginning.
"How ridiculous"
A realistic story line.
Probably not
Everything in the capital city. The pods? Inane.
I have no idea why I finished this series other than they were my first books from Audible and it was something to listen to while driving to work or walking the dog
A book can get you out of your house, your town, even out of the country. I'm an avid reader believing reviews help find the good ones.
"Every chapter was like the last......"
I loved the first book the Hunger Games but this last one just dragged on and on. Every chapter seemed to be the same, she gets hurt, she is healing, she is confused... on and on.. I could not wait to get to the end. Was very disapointed with it because I so enjoyed the first book and the second one wasn't bad either... this one stunk!
Yes I would listen to Suzanne Collins again... it seemed like on this last book she hurried through it and ran out of steam or was bored herself.
She was PERFECT.... she really captured each character! I enjoy listening to her, its like listening to music. Please keep her around.
The entire district 13 crew...... didn't care for the part of the story.
"A good ending"
I had to buy this book and I am pleased the tables turned.
one word - Victory.
yes the whole series but I do have to work.
"It Was Pretty Good, But.."
I came to know and care about the characters and their relationships. I loved the first book, really liked the second book, and only, kinda, sorta liked this third and last story. I gave it 4 stars because there were many shocking twists and turns as the District executed their plan to destroy the evil Capital and stop the Hunger Games. But it wasn't all good against evil because the methods used by the District to prepare and fight were many times dark and ugly, like a war without ethics, and it went on and on, over and over they conquered what the Capital threw at them. That was why it became tedious to me. It was like, "Take this! Take that! Take this! Take that!" All right already, can we move on?
The end finally came, bringing the original Hunger Games theme to fruition. The end included a good message, but it left me unfulfilled because those battling on the District's side were not pure and righteous, they too did things that would burn in their hearts forever. it was tragic and sad. I really wanted to feel happy and content when I finished this last book, but instead it left me restless.
"A great series of opportunities wasted"
As much as I enjoyed the first two installments of this trilogy, in the end, Mockingjay could have been much, much more than it was. Collins spends the first two books establishing a beautifully orchestrated political commentary, then instead of spending this book bringing the commentary to a head, barely touches upon the newly-established themes involving District 13. The finale seemed thrown together instead of developed, and in the end there are still too many unanswered questions for this to be a worthwhile conclusion to the story.
"Petty Good"
It was pretty good but not my favorite. I wasn't a big fan of the narrator. She sounded a bit whiny,
"Good narration, Good setting, Terrible characters"
The socially challenged
She is an excellent narrator. Good emotion and great diction.
All the ones involving the main character.
Catness Everdeen is one of the weakest, self centered, idiot heroines that I have ever read. How this book series ever got the ratings that it did just proves how low people's standards are getting. It was a grave disappointment from beginning to end.

You know we're not in a healthy state when we are eating more bread than fresh fruit, cheese is the most frequently consumed protein, and biscuits, chocolate, lollies and soft drinks are consumed twice as much as fresh fish.
I think it reflects that our diets contain a lot of processed food, and not enough fresh food.
This has been a rising trend, and is likely to be a result of people having less time at home to cook, the loss of cooking skills, and the rising cost of fresh food.
I believe we need to emphasise what we should be eating: if you focus on ensuring you have at least five serves of vegetables, two serves of fruit, one to two serves of healthy protein, and four to five serves of healthy grains or carbohydrates every day to get all the nutrients you need, it leaves little room for the not-so-nutritious foods.
Focus on building these habits, instead of being controlled by the number on the bathroom scales.
Focus on eating lots of fresh food - food from the ground, sea and sky - and less from the factories.

A Visitor from Another Time
Patricia and Jemima found themselves in a new world, one in which they were sisters to each other, the grass was unnaturally green, no-one swore, there was no chewing gum on the pavements and all the steam engines spoke to each other.
Patricia was totally unaware that she had ever had any life other than this perfect existence with no fat tummy, no glasses, a sister whom she adored, a father who was second in command on the railway and a mother who kept on baking cakes and who asked everyone about their day (which had always, of course, been just right). Jemima would occasionally lapse into using expressions like "OMG" or remembering that trains didn't normally speak or that she had once had a brother called Jeremy or realising that eating thrirty currant cakes and drinking ten cups of tea on a regular basis might be unhealthy and so on but these were fleeting memories of her pre-plastic past.
One day, however, something rather different from the norm happened. They had gone to meet their father from the local station (as they always did) and were walking along the road with him when a young man dressed like something out of the English Civil War rode past them on a horse. As if that weren't odd enough he turned left along the lane which had weeds on it. Nobody ever ever turned left. They always went straight on or turned right. The girls' father seemed quieter than normal all that evening, as if he were pondering the affair, but any attempt to discuss it was met with a wall of icy silence.
The next day the girls were on their way to school when they again saw the young man in 17th-century costume clip-clopping along the lane. They reported this to their teacher when they got to school. She, too, became very quiet all day.
When the young man and his horse appeared for a third day in a row, the girls were with their father, as they had been the first time. Their father raced ahead of his daughters and took a radio out of his pocket (something they had never seen before) and spoke into it. They caught up with him and his radio was nowhere to be seen. He would say nothing to them about it.
Presently an old man was seen wearing a long black cloak with the hood down, a bulge at the back and with filthy rags underneath. He was hauling a large cart slowly up the hill. It was full of old shoes.
As he passed, he nodded briefly to Jemima's and Patricia's father, who pointed back in the direction to which the 17th-century man had gone. The old man nodded and ambled slowly as directed.
"What was all that about?" asked Jemima.
"Sorry I've been a bit distant, old girl. I've been having the most awful trouble with Stavros the Stubborn Engine today. He told me..." began their father. They were soon engrossed in his story and all thoughts about 17th-century men, horses and carts full of shoes was banished from their minds.
Maybe I should begin at the beginning of this tale rather than so near the end.
Once upon a time when pigs were swine and monkeys chewed tobacco and little boys wore feathers in their caps to see which way the wind blew there was a young man. His name was Jack.
In those days the land was an unhappy land for it was divided in two. Some people fought for One Side; some fought for The Other. This is how things were. Jack was a brave fighter. He had slain many people on The Other Side. He had saved many of his friends from the enemy, too. But one day an equally good fighter from The Other Side raised his sword ready to bring it down and kill Jack.
Jack immediately remembered the amulet that the Lady of the Lake had given him and whispered into it... SLICE! There was a moment of pain, then nothing: just blackness.
Gradually he began to feel again. He felt a gentle rocking motion. He was in the lovely cool waters of The Lake.
The Lady of the Lake was looking at him earnestly and massaging his forehead.
"'E cut 'ee right here, that 'un from Th'Other Side, but there bain't no remembrance of't now," she said caringly.
"I thank thee, pretty lady," said Jack. "Pray how many years may I live now?"
"Tha'll live a few year with me 'ere yet: five, maybe six, before it be your time to go."
Jack thanked the Lady. He lived with her in the Lake for a couple of years before he grew restless. He was too young to die. He wanted more than a few years of life. He told the Lady, too. He wanted scores more years, not just a handful.
She became very sad, realising that her friend would be leaving her so soon and that he had become greedy for life so she ignored his questions and would not eat fish with him until he agreed to let the matter drop. But eventually she gave in and told him the answer. He would need to find the Lady of the Forest. She whispered a magic word which Jack woud have to say out loud when the time was right.
So Jack left the Lake and made his way to the Forest. The Lady there would not speak to him at first as she preferred her own company but he reminded her that the Forest was a large place and that they need not see each other for days. He told her the magic word wich the Lady of the Lake had given him. The Lady of the Forest reluctantly agreed for Jack to stay.
For many years it worked out well: whenever the Lady was at one end of the Forest, Jack was at the other; when she came to that end, he went to the other and so they kept out of each other's ways. On cold days they would sometimes sit by a log fire together. They would put their arms around each other and enjoy each other's warmth, momentarily forgetting, in their mutual fear of the cold, that they were both, by nature, solitary ceatures.
Then, one day, Jack grew weary of the Forest and of its Lady and of the thought of the ever-greater proximity of his death.
He asked the Lady how he could live for hundreds of years, and not just for scores of the things.
She looked shocked that any human woul want to live for that length of time but gave him the password that he would need without argument and sent him on his way to the Old Lady of the Mountain without a goodbye.
Jack walked up the glowing green mountain. At the top he found the Old Lady of the Mountain. He reminded her what a great area her Mountain had and that they could keep out of each other's ways. She said that that was a pity as she had had so little conversation these many centuries. So he agreed to keep her company whenever she wanted it and told her the password which the Lady of the Forest had given him.
The Old Lady accepted him. At first he was happy to talk and talk and talk and listen and listen and listen after all those quiet years in the Forest. The Old Lady of the Mountain was, however, less attractive than the two previous Ladies with whom he had been living for so long. Also she did go on a bit.
After many, many years had gone by Jack asked if he could ever leave the Montain and pop down into the Village below. She tried everything to dissuade him: all the people he knew would be long dead; all the buildings long-since destroyed; even his war would be long forgotten. His world was gone. It might be hard for him to see that. She also said how lonely she would be without him. She also said that he was no longer used to long journeys and might get tired. But Jack persisted so the Old Lady of the Mountain eventually relented and gave him permission to go down to the Village below. However he must only ride on the horse which she gave him. He must never dismount for any reason and he must never stay off-Mountain for more than two hour at a time.
Jack started down the lane with weeds on it with geat delight. However his delight turned to a strange feeling he had never encountered before when he saw new buildings, machines with faces and which could speak, signposts on his old road and new people with strange clothes everywhere. It was a feeling of... of... indignance. How impertinent! What to him had been a baker's was now a station for these horrible mechanical things with faces; the old battlefield had nothing to show that anyone from His Side or The Other Side had ever been here. Instead it was full of people playing a game called cricket. His fight was, indeed, all forgotten, as the Old Lady had said it would be. Nobody remembered his world or respected it or... missed it in any way even though it had been... well, the world. THE world. His world. All those great characters; all those exciting events. These people seemed like interlopers, and very inferior ones at that.
Somehow, though, he kept coming.
On one occasion he passed that boring father and those two dreary girls again but then saw something which caught his eye. There was a cart which had tipped over on the road. A whole lot of shoes had fallen from it. There was an old man trying to gather them all up.
"Excuse me, kind sir," said the man, "could you help me with these, please?"
Jack said that he sympathised but that he could not dismount. The old man said that that was all right - somehow he would do it.
Jack watched him trying to put the shoes back into the cart. The man seemed so impossibly old and the job so impossibly hard that he couldn't help leaping from his horse and helping the old man to put all the shoes back on the cart. He even helped to right the cart.
The man straightened up and thanked him. The old man's voice started to get stronger and more confident-sounding as he stood up.
"This is not your story, is it, Jack?" he asked.
"How know you my name?"
"You see these people as interlopers but really your story ended a long time ago. You are the interloper here. I say again: this is not your story. You have no place in it, no part to play."
"I shall be on my way, now," said Jack, turning towards where his horse had stood. But there was no horse. Just an empty, twisting lane with weeds growing on it. He turned round. The old man had walked silently up behind him and was practically on top of him.
"You have no role to fulfill; no destiny to realise. I say again: this is not your story."
"Who are you?" asked Jack.
The old man reached into the back of his cloak and pulled out his scythe. He then raised his hood.
Jack's eyes widened in horror.
The old man pointed to the cart full of shoes.
"Did you not realise when you saw these? These are the shoes I wore out looking for you all these many, many years," he said.
"Keep your distance from me, sir. Keep your distance!" yelled Jack.
"You have been running away from your true destiny," said the old man. "The ultimate adventure. One to die for, in fact."
The old man chuckled.
"There are others waiting for you, Jack. People who have been waiting a long times. Centuries in fact."
"O... M... G...!" called out a voice from behind them both.
Jack and the old man turned to see Jemima staring at them.
"Two for the price of one," said the old man. "Your story's gone on long enough as well, Jemima."
He smiled a thin smile before adding, "Some might say too long."

Heavy breathing, I'm running from the kings assassin. I run into the forest, the green will camouflage me. I jump into a tree and slow my breathing. I have to get to Carlos. If I did he would be able to help me. The assassin looks into the tree, my heart stops. He shoots the tranquilizer. It hits me, I black out...
My heads throbbing.
I open my eye's and find myself in the back of a cart. I take a shaky step to the latch. It's bolted from the outside. I notive a small knife lying on the floor of it. I feel the wood of the cart and it's ready to fall apart. I stab the knife into the wood and make a small hole...
After maybe an hour I make a big enough hole for me. I then notice how fast it's going. I gulp and count to three. I jump out and land with a sickening thud on the ground. The cart twists around the bend and disapears. I lay on the ground for a long time. I take out the paper and right to Carlos. It sais:
Dear Carlos,
I am sorry of your loss. I cannot send letters anymore unless I will be abducted. Unless I will be killed by the kings assassins. Please inderstand why I have to say goodbye. I am so sorry about your dad Carlos, and I would do anything to go there. But I know you wouldn't want me risking my life.
Then I got up slowly and willed the wind to carry it to him...

Anna: Spilt SecretsMature
I stormed out of the dance studio in utter shock, had that really happened … had Cara and her dance teacher really just kissed? My mind was buzzing, I was shocked and angry and unset and mixed in with all that was also confusion.
"Anna" Cara shouted, but I kept on walking, I didn't want to listen to reason.
"Anna, stop please, just listen to me" Cara pleaded, clutching a stitch in her side as she had evidently run as fast as she could to catch up with me.
"I don't want to fucking hear it Cara" I yelled, wiping away a few tears which had slipped from my eyes down my face, "All these years we have been best friends and you kept the biggest secret of your life from me!"
"I didn't"
"Oh so is it common knowledge that you're like that and I am just the last to know?" I spat, "Because in all the years I have known you I thought you would have told me."
"All those times we have got changed in the same room, have you been secretly checking me out?" I asked indignantly, "Because I tell you something girl …. I am not a lesbian, if you were truly my friend you would have told me straight away."
"It's just happened" Cara sobbed and I snorted derisively.
"Things like that don't just happen overnight" I snapped, "…and I don't want anything more to do with you Cara Gramms."
I began to walk away but then stopped and whirled around to face her once more, she was crying but I was so enraged that I didn't even care. I walked towards her and said in a dangerously quiet voice,
"You know, I am not a homophobe, I do not judge people who choose to be like that. It's not the fact that you are one … well it is slightly, it's more the fact that you lied that I want nothing to do with you."
I turned on my heel and walked slowly back to the flat, with the intention of packing my stuff up and finding alternate accommodation for me and Matt as soon as I could, I couldn't stay in the same flat as Cara.

About "return to sender" by ISABOA
return to sender
Design by ISABOA
address unknown, no such number - no such zone
I love that song! and the shirt.
for those who cannot read the above post - you are not alone
This sub is kinda iffy - I don't think it will do well but I had to sub it because I think it would be a pretty cool shirt in the real world
yeah - I didn't want it pointing to the belly, armpit or crotch so I had to settle on BOOB -
I actually don't mind it pointing. People look at boobs anyway. I just need to know if you're allowed to wear pants with it? I noticed the model wasn't allowed.
It's a really cool and unique design though.
That's amazing.
Besides the whole finger-pointing-at-boob issue.
If you could find another possible place to put it
I'd totally wear this shirt.
I like the idea...
but for those of us without perfectly flat stomachs,
it'd look funky.
I wouldn't mind seeing it without the envelope lines (people would still get the idea, I think).
I think in the real world with the way the lines go it would be complimentary to bellies AND boobs.
mmmmm elvis.
i like i like! does that say east rutherford on the back shoulder?
i like the lines. it makes me wish that were normal to stamp the back of the envelope so the details could all be on one side
Nice concept!!
thanks FM - the one on the top right in the back of the shirt
in = is - right
would it look too strange if the front and back were reversed? just trying to solve the finger pointing thing! but, great idea!
Shouldn't the back of the envelope be on the back of the shirt? I agree it needs an address.
yeah - great feedback - Thnaks
BTW - renfrue gets the credit for the pointing stamp and several others advised the postage stamp on the back
I think it's great. It's really original!! :)
it's so cute. i'd love to have it
I love the idea but the black lines are just too heavy. Maybe make them a light grey or tan color instead.
great idea, okay execution 4
original idea.. i think somebody else said it before, but i would think about putting the stamp in front and the lines in the back.. would prefer it that way i think
It's probably been said several times now, but i adore what you have done by turning me into a dejected postage letter! I tend to agree with the others about putting the stamp on the front (maybe with a nice cursive writing to some english ambassador as the address), and then the return to send on the back with the envelope creases. Any way this is printed, i'd buy it though. I'm sure this original and awesome idea will not get the score it deserves, but say la vee! 4$
Awesome concept -- I would buy this.
i really like your style with the stamp, although im not sure if i am sold on the envelope part- the ilnes are too solid./
hehe there should be a stamp on the back
I think this is a great idea, but agree with previous comments that it needs a little improvement. I like it a ton so please re-submit!
yeah - it looks stark on the design - but I think in reality the bold lines will work better than black and gray or a thinner line (thin would get lost)
- I dunno .... My point was not to make the envelope realistic but to have all the stuff there to make the visual connection.
I think it should be reversed aswell. Because the folds are on the back of the envelope. I do like the concept though. A lot.
icebar on Apr 24 '07
it might score pretty well!
i think its sort of a good idea, but the black lines are very dark, and don't match the labels on the shirt.
i didn put effort into matching the line on purpose - Otherwise there would have been a need for tin, flagel and a 1" J bar
looks cool with the stamps...just the right necessary addition..
This shirt is freaking awesome!
well that's a really surprising score -
high - i thought this was gonna get dropped
yeah good job on that score
wullagaru on Apr 27 '07
yeah good job on that score
I would like to take credit for it but i don't even get it - this beat my hey you guys and ninja and all my other designs excluding robot and hunter -
here is me with no clue stumbling around on this site

Anna: Warning
I shivered as I looked into the sky, someone had turned. With that I took off for the village, for a Guardian the trip would take only a few minutes. I grinned as the scenery flashed by me; trees, bushes, and shrubs all just a flash of colour. Finally I was at the outskirts of the village. I held my breath and listened, knowing that their would be a guardian on post. Without warning I was thrown to the ground. Whoever it were, it was fast. I sprung away brandishing claw and fang growling into the night that shrouded me. My attacker slowly morphed from the shadows, but I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Mochni?" I asked as my turning reversed. He looked at me for a moment, shocked.
"Anna, is that really you? What happened?" He asked, shifting back to normal. I grabbed his hand pulling him towards the village.
"Mochni, there is no time to explain. If the village is to survive we have to move now!" I took off running with Mochni following close behind. As we neared the village he spoke.
"What happened to you Anna? You were missing for so long?" Tears started to well in my eyes. How could I tell him what happened. How even as a guardian I couldn't defend myself, my sister, or my people.
"I'm so sorry, I failed. I was captured and they...they killed Kesha." I chocked as tears poured down my face. Mochni ran by my side.
"We will avenge her!" He growled "And when this is all over, she'll receive a guardian's burial!" We finally reached the councils tent and burst through the doors. Not all of the Chiefs had left.
"High Chief, Chennai!" I yelled aloud. Everyone looked up, surprised.
"Anna, your alive!" He exclaimed.
"There is no time sir! An army is amassed on our border, an army that has a vendetta against the Guardians. They believe us to be demons, they have already killed my sister. I will not let them kill another!" Many of those left cried at my telling of Kesha's death.
"Mochni, rouse everyone! Anna come with me. I need to know everything that you know about our attackers. Kienna, find all of those not fit for battle and lead them away from the village! Everyone move!" Chennai yelled, taking my arm and leading me to his tent.

Implement mesh-internal wall, specify cells by height
1 Attachment(s)
I'm trying to implement the following. I want to have a domain where i have some cells that I want to remove from the flow calculation, i.e. I want to create a wall inside the mesh, which is not on my boundary (see picture for clarity). I need the cells below this mesh-internal wall to do some other calculations with. the mesh-internal wall should behave like a regular wall boundary patch.
my idea how to do this is to write a bit of code that picks the cells below the mesh-internal wall according to cell height and then making those cells behave like a wall boundary. Is this the best way? or is there any other options someone can think of? i am anticipating to use mesh.C() as the criteria (cell z value) to select cells.
Not sure why you would do that, but you may take a look at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib_icoBlockedCellFoam.

The venue has a total capacity of 1,762 seats on three levels: 1,074 in the orchestra section, 349 in the lower balcony and 339 in the upper balcony. There are also spaces for 12 wheelchairs and 12 companion seats, as well as room for 82 additional seats in the orchestra pit, depending on the stage set-up.

Dr. Nunez is a healer. Period. If you want to be healed, this is the man to see.
Dr. Nunez is a great chiropractor. He has been able to identify problems that you would never even think possible by a chiro. i have been going to him for about 10 years now and he has fixed problems from throwing my back out to dislocated knees. He was the only one to give my mother and father relief from their back pain that they had been suffering from for many years. My grandmother even went to see him and he was an honest enough doctor to say he couldn't help her (it ended up she needed a hip replacement) but how many doctors do you know that step back and say that? If you need relief, this non directional force chiropractor can help you. No popping, no cracking, no twisting. Worth the drive from anywhere.

Citizen CT-S601 increases productivity for Lithuanian Post
The Citizen CT-S601 printer has been rolled out by the hundred to secure greater productivity for Lietuvos Paštas (Lithuanian Post), the country's largest postal services company.
As the provider of postal, courier and logistics services to more than 800,000 customers per month, Lithuanian Post needs to work with fast, modern and reliable equipment. To ensure provision of the best possible service, the company recently decided to invest in an equipment modernization programme. This meant upgrading or replacing equipment at 735 stationary post offices and 135 points of service visited by the company's mobile post offices.
Company RASO, a local provider of retail, manufacturing, logistics hardware and software, was tasked with specifying equipment for the modernization and one of the key requirements of the operation was to provide simple, fast and effective printing. This is where Citizen Systems Europe (http://www.citizen-
The Citizen CT-S601, a full-function, mid-range POS printer, was chosen for its speed, ease of use and print quality. Capable of print speeds of up to 200mm/sec, with high resolution from a tough, long-life thermal printhead, the CT-S601 incorporates an integrated power supply, self-retracting cutter and an ergonomic front paper exit. Citizen pioneered the spillproof front-exit printer and continues to set the standard for this design.
Ričardas Tamašiūnas, Head Of Sales, RASO, explained further why the CT-S601 was such a successful choice. "The CT-S601 has increased productivity and profitability for Lithuanian Post because it delivers faster printing at reduced expense, compared to the dot printers used before. The CT-S601 is a thermal printer and thus demands a lower cost in terms of paper and ribbons compared with dot printers. Using the CT-S601 has also decreased the noise level in the workplace, and improved reliability."
There was also another major reason for selecting the CT-S601, as Ričardas Tamašiūnas explained. "Lithuania is a fiscal country, so any solution must incorporate fiscal printing. A fiscal printer is a device used most commonly at the point of sale in a commercial environment. It has a fiscal memory containing all the necessary information that the business is required to present to the tax authorities, making accounting easier and more accurate. Company RASO therefore had to ensure that the new equipment would be able to deliver fiscal printing. The CT-S601 proved compatible with this and because the total solution could be integrated with the existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, Lithuanian Post avoided the major expense of making changes to the system. The Citizen CT-S601 has been a key element of a cost-effective solution that has met all the needs of Lithuanian Post."
Thanks to the CT-S601, Lithuanian Post has boosted productivity, cut costs and achieved the required equipment upgrade with the minimum of disruption, bringing the best possible return on investment.

Matching ShirtMature
Kel walked into the H&M store and was greeted from an employee. Kel walked over to the adult men section and picked out a shirt.
"That looks good on you," said a woman employee.
"Oh thanks" said Kel.
Kel looked up to match eyes with a beautiful woman with mahogany brown eyes.
"Black and gold looks good on you," she continued.
"You look good on me" whispered Kel.
"I agree" she said as she turned her head.
Kel laughed. "Very nice, but you weren't supposed to hear me."
She laughed and said, "But I did, and I liked what I heard."
Kel responded, "Well, then beautiful young lady, what is your name?"
"Well thank you, My name is Ariel."
"Hi Ariel, My name is Mikhael, but everyone calls me Kel."
"Well I like that Kel, and I like that shirt on you."
"Yeah, I'm going to my best friend party tonight, I gotta look good"
"Well you already look good without the shirt, it will just exemplify it."
"Well thank you. I think I'll get this shirt in every color then."
The both laughed, and he responded, "Well what are you doing tonight?"
"Ummm, probably chilling with my girls."
"Well, would you like to come out with me tonight?"
"I would, especially with you."
"But I have to warn you, my best friend is gay, and its at a gay club."
"Really! You have a gay best friend?"
"Yeah, we've been friends even before he was gay and love that man as if he was my brother."
"That really nice, and yeah, I would love that! I'll meet you here tonight."
"Then its a date!"
"I look forward to it."
Kel took his shirt to the check out stand. He stood in line behind two other people to see Jaymuel in front of him. His eyes got big when he realized that Jay was the over-the-top gay that liked him. He turned to walk away when he heard his name:
"Mikhael Johnson!" said Jaymuel.
"Oh hello!" Said Kel.
"How are you boo-boo!" He said as he walked over to give Kel a hug.
"I'm doing okay, gearing up for Malik's party tonight."
"You are going!!! REALLY!" Jay said as he literally jumped for joy.
"You can stop that." Kel interjected.
"Oh sorry! I got a little excited! I'ma look soooooooooooooooooooo good tonight! Your gonna LOVE it!!"
"Oh thats nice! Yeah me and my date will also be looking great too!"
"Your date?!"
"Yeah, isn't she beautiful." Kel said as he pointed to Ariel helping out another customer.
"Oh Ariel... that bitch." Jay interjected.
"Hahaha, you don't like her?! She is beautiful, and my date for tonight."
"Oh so you have decided to go the straight path."
Kel dodged his statement, and answered: "Well I gotta go! I'll see you tonight."
Jay waved as he glared at Ariel.
As Kel walked away, he thought: "Damn, this could be a problem"
