text: health insurance Kentucky Tops Coverage Gains As GOP Looks To Remake Medicaid By Associated Press • Feb 4, 2016 Norton Healthcare A new national survey shows Kentucky and Arkansas lead the nation in the largest drops of the number of people without health insurance. The Gallup-Healthways survey shows more than 20 percent of Kentuckians did not have health insurance in 2013. Last year, just 7.5 percent of the state's population did not have insurance. Arkansas had a similar drop. The survey shows states that expanded Medicaid and operated a state exchange outperformed other states in the percentage of people who have insurance. Kentucky Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has already given the order to dismantle the state exchange and is seeking to reform the state Medicaid system. As Kentucky Health Co-Op Enters Liquidation, Federal Government Looks to Recoup Costs By Ja'Nel Johnson • Jan 25, 2016 Flickr/Creative Commons/401(K) 2012 Federal officials are unsure how much the government will recoup of the $1.2 billion spent on loans and startup costs for a dozen health care cooperatives that later failed, including Kentucky's. The situation with the Kentucky Health Cooperative is complicated by the liquidation of the entity, which a state court ordered this month. Under the Affordable Care Act, co-ops were created to increase competition among plans and improve consumer choice, according to a recent story by USA Today. Of the 23 co-ops created, a dozen have failed, including Kentucky Health Cooperative. About $2.4 billion of federal funds was put into the creation of the startup health insurance providers. Since it was established, Kentucky Health Care Cooperative has been awarded a total of $146 million in federal loans, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. New Funding To Help Expand Health Care For Rural Kentuckians By Ja'Nel Johnson • Jan 22, 2016 Flickr/Creative Commons/401(K) 2012 The Institute for Sustainable Health & Optimal Aging at the University of Louisville has been awarded a multimillion-dollar federal grant to bring health care to rural and medically underserved Kentuckians. The $2.55 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will be used to create the Kentucky Rural & Underserved Geriatric Interprofessional Program. The three-year initiative will partner with organizations from six rural counties in Kentucky: Hart, Metcalfe, Barren, Bullitt, Henry and Shelby. Dr. Anna Faul, executive director of the Institute for Sustainable Health & Optimal Aging at U of L, said the program is designed to help primary care practices in rural areas deliver care to older adults with chronic conditions. "You really need an integrated approach where you can work with all of these professionals, and they can come around the table and create care plans that can be effective and also empowering for the older adult," she said. Bevin Notifies Federal Government He'll Dismantle Kynect By Ryland Barton • Jan 12, 2016 WFPL Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has notified the federal government that Kentucky will dismantle its state health insurance exchange, Kynect. The move will direct Kentuckians seeking health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, to use the federal health insurance site, healthcare.gov. More than 500,000 people have gotten health insurance through Kynect. In a statement from the governor's office, Bevin spokeswoman Jessica Ditto called the program a "redundancy." "The transition will have no impact on Kentuckians' ability to obtain or continue health care coverage for the 2016 plan year," Ditto said. Most Kentuckians Want to Keep Medicaid Expansion and Kynect, Poll Says By Ja'Nel Johnson • Dec 11, 2015 Alix Mattingly More than two-thirds of Kentucky residents don't want the state to roll back its expanded Medicaid system, according to a poll released Friday. The Kaiser Family Foundation poll also shows that half of Kentucky residents hold unfavorable views of the Affordable Care Act, the federal law that allowed the state to expand Medicaid. "Most of them would rather keep Medicaid as it is today than scale it back to cover fewer people," said Liz Hamel, director of public opinion and survey research at Kaiser. The poll found 72 percent of Kentuckians don't want to scale back Medicaid expansion to cover fewer people. entucky's Medicaid expansion — and its fate — are a closely watch component of Gov. Matt Bevin's administration. Bevin, a Republican who took office Tuesday, campaigned reforming the state's adoption of the Affordable Care Act. Study Examines Impact of Affordable Care Act on Kentucky By Ja'Nel Johnson • Aug 19, 2015 Creative Commons A new study examining the impact of the Affordable Care Act on Kentucky offers insights into how residents are using and benefiting from the federal health law. It was compiled by the State Health Access Data Assistance Center, a health policy research institute at the University of Minnesota, and the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky. The study released Tuesday analyzed the first quarter of 2015. The center will be updating the information quarterly and compiling studies about coverage, access to services, quality of care, cost and outcomes in Kentucky. Half of the people who enrolled in Kentucky's state-run health care exchange, Kynect, chose the Silver Plan, according to the study. Kentucky's Uninsured Rate Down To 9.8 Percent By Ja'Nel Johnson • Feb 24, 2015 Kentucky has the second greatest reduction in the rate of uninsured people among the states, according to the Gallup Healthways Well- Being Index released Tuesday. The survey said Kentucky's uninsured rate is now 9.8 percent—down from 20.4 percent in 2013. Kentucky is behind Arkansas, which has an uninsured rate of 11.4 percent compared to 22.5 percent in 2013. Deadline Approaching to Apply for Health Coverage Through Kynect By Rob Canning • Feb 13, 2015 Sunday at midnight is the deadline for Kentuckians to sign up through Kentucky's health care exchange, in order to get coverage for 2015. The Governor's office reports more than 150,000 people have signed up for health care coverage since the current enrollment period began November 15. Those without a plan after February 15 could face a tax penalty when filing this year that could exceed the annual cost of insurance. More than 521,000 Kentuckians signed up for coverage during kynect's first enrollment period. More Kentuckians Are Getting Health Insurance Through Their Jobs, Poll Finds By Ja'Nel Johnson • Feb 12, 2015 The rate of uninsured Kentuckians has dropped—and the number of people with employer-sponsored coverage continues to rise, according to a new poll released Thursday. Fifty percent of Kentucky adults are insured through their employer or their spouse's employer, according to the latest Kentucky Health Issues Poll found. In 2012, 37 percent of adults had coverage through an employer or a spouse's employer. Enrollment in Kynect Stays Steady as February 15 Deadline Approches By Ja'Nel Johnson • Jan 15, 2015 With another impending deadline for coverage, enrollment in Kentucky's health insurance exchange is steadily growing, says Nicole Comeaux, deputy executive director for the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange. So far, 12,500 individuals have enrolled in qualified health plans and 25,700 individuals have newly enrolled in Medicaid coverage, Comeaux said during a wide-ranging conference call Wednesday with health care exchange directors from other states. Rate of Uninsured People in the U.S. Has Dropped 4.2 Percent Since Insurance Requirements Began By Ja'Nel Johnson • Jan 7, 2015 Kentucky State Government The uninsured rate has dropped 4.2 percentage points since the Affordable Care Act's requirement for Americans to have health insurance went into effect last year, according to a Gallup-Healthways Well Being analysis. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the uninsured rate dropped to 12.9 percent. This is the lowest recorded rate since Galup-Healthways began tracking the measure daily in 2008. A year ago the uninsured rate was 17.1 percent. The survey found that the uninsured rate declined as more Americans signed up for health insurance through federal and state health insurance exchanges in the first and second quarters of 2014. Foundation Looking To Award More Grants To Cover Family Medical Expenses in Kentucky By Emil Moffatt • Sep 7, 2014 Tonya Ratliff's 15-year-old son Tyler has been living with diabetes for 10 years. Two years ago, doctors told the Owensboro family they'd have to start replacing the insert in Tyler's diabetes pump more frequently. "It already was a lot, and that would double it," she said. "So I was like 'I don't think I can do that,'." With three sons, it would be an extra financial burden the Ratliff family. Their doctor told them about a foundation that helps pay for medical expenses not covered by a healthcare plan. Since 2007, the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation has given 7,500 grants across the country. In the last three years, 90 of them have been in Kentucky, providing nearly $300,000 for families with children 16 and under. The organization is trying to increase the number of Kentucky families who receive assistance. "It was a life-changing experience for us, because we literally lived paycheck to paycheck and this was a great burden off of us," said Ratliff. The program can cover up to $5,000 dollars in expenses, and each child can receive a maximum of $10,000 over a lifetime. Poll: Kentucky Sees Second Biggest Drop in Number of Those Without Health Insurance By Jonathan Meador • Aug 7, 2014 The percentage of people without health insurance in Kentucky has dropped at the second biggest rate in the nation. According to a Gallup poll released this week, the number of uninsured dropped from over 20 percent in 2013 to about 12 percent as of July 2014, reflecting an eight-and-a-half percent decline since the federal Affordable Care Act took effect. The only other state to experience a sharper decline was Arkansas, whose uninsured rate dropped about 10 percent. The states rounding out the top five after Kentucky are Delaware, Washington and Colorado. Gov. Steve Beshear touted the news in a press release, attributing the new data to the state's implementation of the ACA via kynect, the state's health insurance exchange. The poll also reported that the rate of uninsured in 21 states like Kentucky that expanded Medicaid coverage under the ACA and set up their own exchanges declined "more significantly" than those states that did not. As of July, over 520,000 Kentuckians have enrolled in health care through the state exchange, with three-quarters of the newly insured enrolled in Medicaid. WKU Likely to Announce Proposed Changes to Employee Health Plans by End of August By Kevin Willis • Jul 16, 2014 Kentucky Dept. of Agriculture WKU is beginning to prepare its employees for likely changes to the school's health plan. At a forum Wednesday afternoon, representatives from the school's Human Resources Department told workers that WKU's self-funded model is coming under significant strain. The school says it saw a 13.3 percent increase in medical expenses in 2013 compared to the previous year, with expenses exceeding revenue by more than $2 million. WKU is predicting that unless changes are made, the school's health plan expenses could increase by 8 to 10 percent in 2015. No definitive announcement was made, however, about whether employee premiums or deductibles will be increasing. Speaking to WKU Public Radio after the forum, Assistant Director of Human Resources Kari Aikins described the school's timeline for announcing any changes. "We're going to continue to evaluate and model these options financially over the next month, month-and-a-half, and then start making some formalized recommendations to our leadership and President--through our benefits committee--and hopefully have something set in stone by the end of August," Aikens said. Report: Kentucky Ranks 10th Lowest for Uninsured By Jonathan Meador • Jul 9, 2014 Flickr/Creative Commons A new report finds that Kentucky's implementation of the Affordable Care Act has dramatically reduced the number of uninsured people in the state. The report, released Wednesday by the personal finance website WalletHub, finds that Kentucky now ranks 10th in the nation for the lowest number of uninsured individuals, at just under nine percent of the population. That number was over 17 percent before the ACA became law, reflecting an 8 percent drop in the rate in one year's time. It also found that about 30 percent of Kentuckians under 65 are enrolled in Medicaid. Nearly 83,000 Kentuckians have enrolled in new private health insurance plans, and 265,000 have enrolled in Medicaid as of April 2014. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 next › last »

After being in relationship with George for five years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called DR Mako and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 6pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: firstname.lastname@example.com or call him :+2348108737816ReplyDelete

Scrambled Eggs
Dec 9, 2013
If you haven't seen Gordon Ramsay's scrambled eggs video yet, you've been preparing your scrambled eggs the wrong way. His is a perfect example of how something you considered to be the simplest and most straightforward thing you can ever cook can become something seriously scrumptious with a change of method (and a touch of a chef, I guess). His video is here.
If you are too lazy to watch it, let me boil it down for you: his secret is, as opposed to what the %95 percent of us do, not to whisk the eggs beforehand. He whisks them vigorously in the pan on and off the heat, with a knob of butter, giving them their creamy velvety texture.
Since I ran into this video, scrambled eggs became my new experimental food item. I made various versions over the past year, by adding different kinds of cheese, herbs and sausages and the one that stood out in terms of originality was the one I made with Turkish ingredients, sujuk - a type of Turkish dry sausage - and feta (sometimes kashar cheese. Although Ramsay's recipe doesn't need any improvement, I always add half a teaspoon of mustard and the effect brings these eggs closer to perfection.
Scrambled Eggs (A La Turca)
serves 1
- 3 eggs
- a slice of sourdough bread<
- a knob of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard<
- Turkish sujuk if you can or a dry sausage of your preference, like chorizo
- 2 tablespoons grated gouda cheese or feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped parsley, optional
- Toast the bread, put aside.
- Fry sausages according to its package instructions. Cover to keep warm and leave aside.
- Crack the eggs in a sauce pan. Add butter. Cook eggs over medium heat, stirring vigorously with a spatula to avoid eggs sticking to the pan. As lumps form take the pan off the heat and continue whisking. When lumps loosen, bring the pan back to heat. Repeat this process as necessary. Be careful not to overcook and keep in mind that cooking continues when taken off the heat. When it is creamy and slightly thick add mustard, then cheese, whisking and making sure mustard has incorporated and cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the toasted bread with olive oil. Arrange sausages on it, top with scrambled eggs. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Contrary to all expectations, Murdoch's BSkyB/Granada consortium, New Century Television, was not the highest but by far the lowest bid, offering to pay the Government £2m a year to run the new terrestrial TV channel, compared with £36m bid by an obscure Canadian company, CanWest UK TV. Equally astonishingly, the other two bidders - Virgin TV and Channel 5 Broadcasting (Pearson) - tied at £22,002,000 each.
For the Government, the outcome of yesterday's blind bidding process seems on the face of it to offer a perfect win-win solution. First, it appears to take the political heat off the Heritage Secretary, Stephen Dorrell. His failure to publish a credible set of modernised cross-media ownership rules attracted huge criticism in the run up to yesterday's deadline (under the current set there is nothing to prevent Murdoch's limited expansion from satellite into terrestrial television).
And the Treasury will rake in anything from £220m to £360m over the 10-year life of the franchise, from what was judged only three years ago to be a worthless channel.
But the Government should not breathe easy too soon. There is still a nightmare scenario: that all the higher bidders are excluded on the grounds of over-optimistic business plans, leaving Murdoch a clear passage. The result will be known later this year.
So did Murdoch get it wrong, or very, very right? Or did he submit an unrealistic bid in order to make his excuses and defuse the bitter political row that a victory would produce? "If there's one thing Rupert Murdoch can do, it is add up," quipped Michael Grade, chief executive of Channel 4 and vociferous critic of Murdoch.
Assessing the bids is the immediate task awaiting the Independent Television Commission, the commercial television regulator. There are plenty of precedents for not accepting the highest bid. In the 1991-92 ITV franchise auction carried out under the same rules, the ITC disqualified some of the highest bidders, such as Polygram's £32m bid for the London weekend franchise, which was rejected in favour of LWT's £7m.
But the regulator is also painfully aware that once again it is being forced to administer a bizarre auction system that does little for its reputation. This pits the quality of programming and services against the amount of cash any bidder is prepared to offer.
The critical factors the ITC has to consider are: how much it costs to retune the home videos of people living in the extensive Channel 5 area; the cost of offering a reasonably popular service which will be tempting enough to get viewers linked up; and the buoyancy of the advertising market.
On all of these questions the BSkyB/Granada bid is the most cautious. It says it is putting aside £120m for video retuning, a "Rolls Royce service" carried out before the channel goes on air. This compares with £60m to £100m anticipated by the higher bidding rivals. (CanWest won't reveal its estimate.)
It has also, perhaps deliberately, included a relatively high programme budget, though it is not giving precise details. Some say this budget reflects the hard lessons it has garnered from Sky 1's lacklustre performance.
If any of the three relatively high bids succeeds then there is either £36m or £22m less money a year to spend on making programmes than might be the case. ITV and BBC competitors are justified in their quiet jubilation that the burden of a high bid could well prevent Channel 5 really succeeding.
For there is scant sign that the public wants the new general entertainment service. There have been no genuine public lobbies, no letters to the press demanding more choice or more repeated films in peak time. Nor is there any sign that people are prepared, or have the spare time, to watch more television.
True, the decline in viewing of recent years has stabilised in the past few months. But the new satellite and cable channels have battled hard for their current relatively meagre share of viewing, by cannibalisation. BSkyB has won Premiership football and rugby league, but not people's affections: the most successful of the low-budget satellite stations is UK Gold, playing BBC and ITV repeats.
The imperative to launch the service has come from business, originating 10 years ago as a method of appeasing advertisers disappointed in their attempts to force advertising on to the BBC.
The channel failed to attract a credible bidder three years ago mainly because the recession was hitting advertising hard. But over the past two years advertisers have come to resent the way the cost of reaching viewers on ITV is rising as the network's share of the audience slowly declines. Channel 5 offers advertisers the chance of a near-national audience and competition in key areas such as London and the Midlands on a scale which fragmented, subscription-driven satellite cannot deliver.
The final factor is the "squatter's rights" benefits conferred on the winner of the franchise, who will be in a favourable position to benefit from the forthcoming digital revolution that will engulf terrestrial television. That will require extra investment, and the nagging doubt stalking all the bidders last night was that - just maybe - Rupert Murdoch has got his sums right. Certainly CanWest's launch last night at a 6pm press conference raised questions about its competence.
David Montgomery, chief executive of Mirror Group, which pulled out off the auction last week, said yesterday: "Our bid would have been closer to Murdoch's, which is the more realistic bid. If he bids that low, with all his leverage - production facilities, the link to Granada - then it must be a risky project."

Why is it that the Left seems to pick strange bedfellows when it debates liberty? Or, to put it another way, what do some in the liberal commentariat have in common with bankers and footballers?
The issue that is dividing polite, and impolite society, is the right to privacy. The battle is being fought in the courts, on Twitter and on the floor of the Commons and the Lords.At stake is the jurisdiction of parliament and judiciary and the relationship between articles 8 and 10 of the European Convention, incorporated into UK law.
Two further areas, however, have been less explored: the role of class and age in the battle for the right to know. In the villains' corner are tabloid editors, publicity-seeking MPs and obsessive tweeters. On the side of decency are judges and lawyers who, it is said, are interpreting a difficult body of law in the best way they can.
In this acrimonious climate, both sides tend to minimise the areas where mainstream opinion converges. Everyone, surely, agrees that privacy is a human right to be challenged only in exceptional circumstances. These might include egregious hypocrisy and those who display their private lives in public for commercial gain. A more contentious caveat would be those who play a leadership role in society; defining that, though, is extremely difficult.
Advocates for free expression should not see privacy as inimical to that cause. Nor should they excuse shoddy journalistic practice. At Index on Censorship we have railed against the weaknesses of the Press Complaints Commission, denouncing phone hacking and the others examples of tabloid crimes and misdemeanours. Free expression is about investigation, about challenging power, and not about prurience or hounding the vulnerable. Yet, what has been so alarming in recent years is the extent to which many in the British establishment, particularly on the liberal-left, see free speech as an easily expendable right.
On many occasions in recent years I have felt sullied in defending the person whose views I find obnoxious, such as the right of the BNP leader, Nick Griffin, to appear on the BBC's Question Time programme. Yet offence seems to have become a national pastime. If in doubt, censor or issue a writ or demand an apology.
It is as if we have all elevated offence as a universal human right. I recall being told by a theatre manager from the Midlands how he has a panel of local worthies whom he consults ahead of any production. All complaints, ahead of time, are taken with utmost seriousness. All of this is well intentioned, as was the thinking behind legislation outlawing religious and racial hatred. Yet underlying this is an assumption that people cannot be trusted. We need filters and rules to tell us what we should say and what we should know. If we fail to clamp down hard we will succumb to mob rule.
Everyone is entitled to privacy, just as they are entitled to a reputation. The question is not of principle but of balance. When the Libel Reform coalition started its work in November 2009, neither of the two main parties saw the UK's defamation culture as a problem. Yet, all the evidence pointed to a body of law that was skewed towards the rich and powerful. London had become a town called sue, where those with influence and money – often foreigners – used our courts to intimidate charities, scientists and others for having the temerity to challenge them. While much remains to be done to toughen the legislation, the recently published draft defamation bill was a decent first stab at reasserting the rights of investigative journalism and honest opinion.
Why is free speech so hard for some to bear? The problem is that it is not an outcome; it is a process. A truly liberal society gives illiberal people a voice. It is about allowing people of all opinions to air them without fear or favour. That is the spirit of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution that so many in the UK find so hard to countenance. They would rather focus on the areas where free speech should be curbed.
Liberal-minded folk would rather read The Independent than a grubby red top. Who can blame them? The distaste for the media magnates who own them is intense. Yet, at this point rational argument is dispensed with and that old adage of "my enemy's enemy" is adopted. Thus who at the mercy of the tabloids is deemed worthy of defending? Why, multi-millionaire footballers, Sir Fred Goodwin and others such as Max Mosley. Mosley's attempt to enshrine into law a requirement to prior notification by newspapers was rightly and roundly thrown out by the European court. If Goodwin's alleged affair with a co-worker while presiding over one of the greatest bank failures in financial history was not a matter of public interest, I don't know what is.
It was wrong of John Hemming, the Liberal Democrat MP, to use parliamentary privilege to bring the Ryan Giggs injunction into the public domain. The law should not be flouted, even where it is found wanting.
It was curious to note that it was mainly Labour MPs who attacked Hemming and the Lib Dem peer Lord Stoneham who "outed" the Goodwin case in the upper house. They might have focused their ire elsewhere. The anger felt towards Goodwin and his ilk reflects a broader public perception about a parallel network of justice for the rich and powerful. Tax avoidance schemes fall into this picture.
What is needed is a review into privacy and free expression, one that is drawn far more broadly than the mix of MPs and peers announced by the Prime Minister. What exactly constitutes privacy? What is the boundary of the public sphere? And, amid the worrying rise in super-injunctions, in what instances should these measures be used?
It is surely not good enough to say we should leave it to the judges. Their interpretations of the Human Rights Act have shifted considerably over the years, assuming an increasing disdain for free expression. Perhaps in an ideal middle-class and middle-aged world, in which everyone minds their Ps and Qs, due deference might be shown. The problem is the world is not like that. Liberals should stop trying to control free speech, and learn how better to channel and defend it.

Patch will follow soon. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

I have been wit hballys since 1994. AN Since I only pay $19.00 a month, I don't plan to go to another gym and pay over 80 dollars. I trave lalot and Yest I have had some instances of theft. In Union city, They stole 20. It happened in Chicago, Florida, and St.louis. I guess you just have to be careful.
#22 Feb 26, 2010
lol its funny you say that because I also walk around my gym with a sour face all the time because It's the only way I deal with the guys who stare , its very disrespectful but that is the waythe guys are all around that area.

I completely understand, its hard to find another gym especially when your already in a 3 year contract. I have never had a problem wih the staff or theft, but I do understand the complaint about the men. Its disgusting when your working out and people are whistling at you. It makes me uncomfortable. I am studying to be a Doctor and I dress conservatively. There is no reason why anyone should feel that they are entitled to look me up and down like a piece of meat and interrupt my work out to ask me out. If I'm interested I would let you know. Either way, never bring valuables anywhere that your leaving things in a locker room. Carry your ID and maybe a cc, with your gym card in your ipod case. Wear it with you while you work out, or like 10-20 bucks cash with id in locker room. As far as the men are concerned I just blast my ipod the moment I walk in until the moment I leave now and pay no mind to anyone including the men talking to me. I rather them think I am rude then think I am fresh meat or open game.

wuts this guy look like i maybe him? lol
#25 Oct 29, 2010
People- seriously- there are signs up that the gym isn't liable and not to bring valuables. I don't bring anything valuable with me. I live close too so I opt to shower at home most of the time rather than be in the locker room. I walk in, work out, watch my things mind, my business and walk out. If people look, yeah sometimes I notice, but usually I'm too focused on my work out. I track my heart rate more than the number of times I'm sized up. So ladies- focus.
So, it doesn't draw the most sophisticated group, but it drew me, so I deal with it because in the end "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" people. I do miss my overpriced gym with the neat, courteous staff, but in this economy, I'm glad I have a place close, with good instructors and cheap rate.
If you think it's ghetto, I say - "if you aint ever been to the ghetto, don't ever come to the ghetto, cuz you wouldn't understand the ghetto, so stay ---- out"... Its crowded enough anyway!

The gym is full of rats but what can you do. By rats i mean the members.
#27 Oct 5, 2011
I have been going to the Union Bally's for several months without incident. My biggest complaint was that no one put the weights back, and that the leather on the machines is cracked and ripped. That aside it was the least expensive, and all I could afford.
Yesterday my phone was stolen. I heard it was the third phone stolen that day.
It is annoying. Bally's could solve this problem if they had a camera in the locker room and taped the day. Headquarters should know about the problems, and help this Bally meet at least minimum standards.....if nothing else.
#28 Oct 5, 2011
Really, everyone in the gym stares at everyone. The muscle heads in the Union gym have been very nice to me, in fact all the members have been pleasant. Why have a sour face? Just go about your business. No one really cares if you are there or not.....really. just put the weights away when you are done.

I'm so glad I prepaid thru Dec 2014. The new owner, LA Fitness said I can use the gym till the end of this month. Then I can sign up with them at their much higher rate and access only that gym. Not a good way to encourage new members. Bally corporate doesn't answer phones. Totally screwed. Too bad - I like that gym, like the "brotherhood," people are decent, never heard one guy whistle at a female. I also live 5 minutes away and shower at home, never bring valuables into locker room, never had a problem.
#30 Dec 21, 2011
Gym rat you should get the hell out of UC if you really feel that way. You have options- so GO . Dont put a name tag in a city you know nothing about. So we dont have many trees-
Ok ... Ummm.. Sorry
#31 Dec 25, 2011
What does being a "white female" have to do with working out???? Or with men staring? I think we stare at any good looking woman, regardless if she's black, tan, brown, or pale. You sound overly concerned and delusional about yourself and what it is that men want. We are there working out, if ANY gorgeous woman is near, we look. Give a logical reason or stop sending uneducated comments. You sound...crazy. Truth is, the staff is immature mostly. The gym I predominantly Spanish(of all races. You'll probably see a frekin Asian Hispanic there) But it is Ballys. And Ballys isn't The Equinox in Nyc so quit complaining because they probably were staring at you because you looked silly in your scantily clad "workout" suit.
#32 Jan 3, 2012
The gym is.... Ok. It is dirty and equipment is constantly out of order. I personally could care less because I go there work out get the job done and leave. The only thing that irks me is the fact that the staff is rude. Specially this women that works at the front desk; if I only knew her name. I swear if I was able to put a complaint to the manager I would, but they wouldn't do anything either way. AND gymboybully I completely agree with your comment towards "white female" she's just ignorant, poor girl.

Garnier Pure Active Neem + Tulsi High Foaming Face Wash - ReviewAugust 19, 2015
I like using Garnier products because they are affordable and works great except few. My search of HG face wash hasn't ended yet and in the process I've found a face wash which works great for my skin. It's
Garnier Pure Active Neem + Tulsi High Foaming Face Wash. I've been using it since two weeks. My review will be on this face wash today!
Price: Rs. 60 for 50 g
Description: Power of natural ingredients: Neem and Tulsi known to fight oil and germs. It helps reduce pimples and gives glowing skin.
Description: Power of natural ingredients: Neem and Tulsi known to fight oil and germs. It helps reduce pimples and gives glowing skin.
Garnier Pure Active Neem+Tulsi Face Wash comes a transparent plastic bottle with a green flip top cap. It's sturdy, convenient to use and travel friendly.
My Experience: Combination of neem and tulsi sounds awesome for an oily skinned girl like me. Neem is antibacterial and tulsi has medicinal properties. This face wash is green in color with a runny consistency. Its smell is refreshing (reminds me of an old perfume). I only need a pea sized quantity for my face. Even with a little amount it lathers well. It gets rinsed off easily and does not leave any slippery feeling behind. 'High foaming' face wash sounds harsh but in reality it doesn't dry out skin. After washing, my face is left clean and soft. My face looks brighter and even. It gently cleans away dirt from my face.
This face wash claims to kill pimple germs which sounds fancy, right? I'm glad after using this I haven't noticed any breakouts. Not sure if it's my unpredictable skin or because of this face wash. It contains salicylic acid which is good for oily, sensitive and acne prone skin. I think this will suit every skin because it's gentle. As only little amount is needed this will last a long way.
● It doesn't dry out skin.
● Leaves face fresh and even.
● I haven't noticed breakouts after using this face wash.
● Only need a drop sized amount for whole face
Not any such :)
Not any such :)
Final Words: Garnier Neem and Tulsi face wash stayed true to my expectations. It isn't too harsh on skin and leaves face squeaky clean. It kind of stopped my breakouts. I'm satisfied with it and recommend it to every girl out there!
What according to you is a good face wash? What qualities do you expect? Comment :)

One thing has to be said about this year's primary school performance tables. It would be a Government health warning (except the Government is not likely to want to draw attention to it in this way).
It is this: They cannot be used to compile an accurate league table of how primary schools in England have fared in English and maths tests for 11-year-olds last summer.
I know politically and morally many involved in the education service think that is true every year but this year it is especially so as 4,000 schools are missing due to the fact that two teachers' organisations – the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) and National Union of Teachers (NUT) boycotted them this year.
As such, they can only be read as what they are: a table giving information on the individual performance of all the schools whose results are included in it.
Many people would like that to be the case every year – and go further by abolishing the tables altogether, just giving parents the right to see the results of any school they are interested in sending their children to.
Unfortunately, that is unlikely to be the case. There is a review of the tests being conducted but the mantra from Education Secretary Michael Gove has always been that both the tests and the tables are here to stay. He would, however, like to see more information given in the tables, so parents can get a more rounded picture of schools they are interested.
The results of the review, though, will not be able to be put in place for next year's tests and the ensuing tables. And both the NAHT and NUT are holding off on their boycott next year – one of the pre-requesites demanded by Michael Gove before they were allowed to play their full part in the review.
The review, though, will publish its findings before the tests are taken next year – giving us a glimpse of what is to come before we revert to league tables as normal, possibly for just one year, next December.
Personally I would like to see the tests continue but – instead of this mass bureaucratic exercise of publishing performance tables – go along with the idea that every parent has the right to find out information about any school they are interested in.

A common goal of car stereo enthusiasts is a louder stereo. There are several ways to add volume to your system, limited only by your budget for the project. One way is to swap the factory stereo for an aftermarket unit. Choose a stereo with greater signal output than the factory stereo in your vehicle. You can add an amplifier, boosting the signal from your stereo. Installing higher quality speakers will provide more volume as well. Aftermarket speakers use materials and wiring configurations that allow them to handle stronger signals from an amplified stereo.
Things You'll Need
- Adjustable wrench
- Amplifier wiring kit
- Stereo
- Amplifier
- Speakers
- Speaker wire
- Phillips-head screwdriver
- Trim panel removal tool
Add Amplifier And New Stereo
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the vehicle's negative battery terminal. Use an adjustable wrench or pliers to loosen the bolt on the cable's clamp and move the cable away from the battery.
Connect the ring terminal from the wiring kit to the positive lead. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder and connect the power cable.
Route the power cable through the firewall of the vehicle into the inside of the cabin.
Remove the stereo from the dock and disconnect the wiring from the back of the unit. Connect the wiring to the wiring harness adapter and connect the adapter leads to the new stereo.
Plug the patch cables from the amp kit into the wiring harness adapter leads.
Feed the patch cables through the stereo dock and down to the floor of the vehicle.
Install the stereo into the stereo mounting dock. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for precise procedures on stereo removal and installation.
Route the patch cables and power supply cable to the location of the amp. Plug the power supply cable into the amp and connect the patch cables to the appropriate outlets on the amplifier.
Connect the grounding wire (amp wiring kit) from the amplifier to a bolt or screw near the location of the amp.
Install New Speakers
Remove the speakers from their mounts in the door panels and rear deck of the vehicle. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for the procedures on accessing the speakers.
Disconnect the speaker wires from the stock speakers and connect them to speaker harness wiring. Plug the speaker wiring harness into the new speakers.
Connect speaker wiring from the newly installed amplifier to the new speakers. Plug the wires into the speaker harnesses of the newly installed speakers.
Replace the new speakers in the speaker mounts in the door panels and rear deck.
Replace the grounding cable to the negative battery lead post. Tighten the cable's clamp around the post with the adjustable wrench. Place the fuse into the fuse holder in the ring terminal.
Tips & Warnings
- Make sure that the output of the amplifier is withing the range that can be handled by your new speakers. Be sure to add the pre-amp output of the new stereo with the output of the amp to get an accurate rating for your speaker's protection. The output levels of the stereo and the amplifier can be found in the manuals provided with both. Contact the retail outlet where you purchased the components or the manufacturers of the components directly if you are without the necessary manuals.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Celebrate the changing seasons with a Pretty Spring Box from Eileen Hull. This easy spring craft looks great and makes a great gift!
- Sizzix Big Shot Machine
- Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die – Box w/Flap
- Sizzix Little Sizzles Mat Board, White, 6" x 13"
- Papers by Scrappy Cat (Darice)
- Copic markers
- Magnets (BasicGrey)
- Brads
- Double-sided tape
- Stamp ink – turquoise, aqua
- Sponge
- Glue pen
- Fine yellow glitter
- Cut box from white matboard using Big Shot machine and Box w/Flap ScoreBoard die. This box may be used to hold ATC's, playing cards, crayons, gift cards and tons of other small items.
- Sketch out lightly in pencil a basic outline of a flower and leaves. Go over the lines with a fine-tip permanent marker. Draw the central image and then add in leaves and smaller flowers. The flap will cover a good part of the flower, so match the design on the flap to the box. Mine is not perfect, but it works!
- Erase pencil lines and color in the flowers and leaves with Copic markers in shades of greens and yellows. (You could also stamp a flower image with Staz-On or Memento inks pads and color).
- Line the box with paper. You will need to trim a tiny bit at each fold because the paper will buckle and shift, especially if you are using cardstock. There's too much bulk there for everything to lay flat. Cut off enough paper so that when you glue it back on, there is a little bit of white showing between sections.
- But BEFORE you put the paper on, adhere the magnet to the box flap. Apply double-sided tape to the wrong side of the flap magnet and to the right side of the other magnet. This will go inside the box and line up with the flap magnet. Adjust the positioning of the magnets until the box closes neatly. Now tape or glue the paper on the box flap.
- After outlining, coloring and blending the flowers and leaves, add a background. Lightly tap on dye-based inks with a sponge and softly color in the background.
- To assemble the box, add doubled-sided tape down the sides of the flap and two brads for decoration.
- Thought I was done but could not resist adding a line of fine glitter around the edges of the petals just for a little sparkle.
- I'm not sure yet what I will put in this box, but just looking at it reminds me that spring and the new life it brings is just around the corner!

Hudler, Wings beat short-handed Stars
Associated Press | Last updated January 03, 2012
Jiri Hudler scored twice, linemate Valtteri Filppula added a goal and two assists, and the Detroit Red Wings hung on to beat the Dallas Stars 5-4 on Tuesday night. Henrik Zetterberg, the third member of the line, had three assists. Johan Franzen and Cory Emmerton also connected for the Red Wings, an NHL-best 15-2-1 at home but only 10-11-0 on the road. Michael Ryder had two goals, Jamie Benn added a goal and two assists, and Loui Eriksson also scored for the Stars. Dallas is short-handed on defense, missing regulars Sheldon Souray (ankle), Stephane Robidas (foot) and Philip Larsen (concussion-like symptoms), and it showed against the speedy, skilled Wings. Injuries forced the callup of rookies Jordie Benn, older brother of Jamie Benn, and Brenden Dillon from the Texas Stars of the AHL. Jordie Benn made his NHL debut, collecting his first assist in the opening period, while Dillon was a healthy scratch. Filppula fired a loose puck into an open net for his 13th goal of the season at 8:02 of the first period. Zetterberg's shot went in off Hudler's skate to make it 2-0 at 17:06 of the first. The goal was upheld after a brief video review to determine whether Hudler kicked the puck into the net. Eriksson got Dallas on the board from the right circle at 17:56 of the first, assisted by both Benns, but Hudler struck from the slot at 19:00 for his second of the night to give Detroit a two-goal pad. Jamie Benn notched his 10th of the season on a sharp-angle shot from the right of the net at 1:04 of the second period to pull Dallas to 3-2, but Emmerton got the puck past Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen's right pad from a difficult angle at 3:51 of the second for a 4-2 edge. Once again, the Stars crept within a goal when Ryder's shot from long range slipped through Detroit goaltender Jimmy Howard's pads at 7:25 of the second. Franzen restored the two-goal advantage with a shot into the top right corner from the left circle at 11:46 of the second, his team-leading 16th of the season. But Ryder beat Howard from the right circle at 14:07 of the third for Ryder's team-high 17th of the season to narrow the gap to 5-4. NOTES: Linesman Steve Miller left in the first period with concussion-like symptoms. Miller hit his head when he accidentally collided with Stars D Mark Fistric. Miller left the ice and was treated by Stars medical personnel, who ruled him out for the rest of the game, leaving the crew with two referees and one linesman. ... Forwards Darren Helm (strained groin), Tomas Holmstrom (groin) and Patrick Eaves (jaw) were out for Detroit . ... Forward Tomas Vincour (knee) was out for Dallas. ... The Benns are the third set of brothers to play in the same game for the Stars since their move to Dallas in 1993. The others: Derian and Kevin Hatcher, and Neal and Paul Broten.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

The NFL free-agent frenzy technically begins at 4 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, but the action has been ramping up, with some of the biggest names never even making it to market.
The Seattle Seahawks re-signed defensive lineman Michael Bennett on Monday, depriving the Chicago Bears of his services and his brother Martellus of the opportunity to start a Duck Dynasty kind of thing in Chicago. The Carolina Panthers used the franchise tag on defensive end Greg Hardy, the Washington Redskins franchised Brian Orakpo and the Cleveland Browns franchised Alex Mack on Monday. Bennett got a little over $8 million and, with him and the others off the market, it's entirely possible that no free agent gets a deal topping $10 million.
But this wouldn't be free agency if agents didn't pit teams against one another and if teams didn't overspend. (See Haynesworth, Albert, as the worst free-agent signing of all eternity.) It could get interesting this year with teams itching to spend and getting some room with the salary cap at $133 million per team. Here's a look at the top five:
1 . Jairus Byrd. The Buffalo Bills safety shouldn't have made it to free agency, but there he is. Among the teams that are interested are the Redskins, Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles and St. Louis Rams. The Rams' interested bubbled up unexpectedly Monday and he'd be a nice fit in St. Louis, which is lacking a playmaker in the secondary under new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Redskins fans also think he'd be a nice addition. ESPN's John Keim polled fans on Twitter and found that he was their top choice in free agency.
2. Michael Johnson. The Cincinnati Bengals defensive end may not have had as many sacks in 2013 as he did in 2012, but he's still an extremely disruptive force and he'll stand to benefit with Bennett unavailable. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Bears, who lost out on Bennett, are likely to pursue him.
3. Aqib Talib. How important was the cornerback in a New England defense that was hit hard by injuries? Rewind the AFC championship game and watch what Peyton Manning did after Talib went out with an injury. The Patriots need him back and it can be argued that Talib, whose off-the-field issues doomed him in Tampa Bay, needs the structure that a Bill Belichick-run operation provides. But he'll be a hot commodity on a hot cornerback market, with the Redskins, who desperately need to rebuild their secondary, in the mix.
4. Eugene Monroe. Considered the top left tackle on the market, he spent four seasons in Jacksonville before joining the Baltimore Ravens last season. As free agency approaches, the Ravens continue to hope that he'll re-sign with them, with the Baltimore Sun's Aaron Wilson reporting that "there's now optimism that an agreement can be reached."
5. The Raiders guys. Defensive end Lamarr Houston and offensive tackle Jared Veldheer are two of the team's better players and, with Oakland a staggering $65 million under the cap (and, yes, there's a minimum that teams are required to spend), at least one of these guys should be retained. Houston will draw interest from the Bears, who lost out on Bennett. Veldheer is going to draw interest from Arizona, where he'd be reunited with former Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer.

Book by Field Andy
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
"Field makes concerted efforts to provide statistical tools in a very lighthearted fashion by throwing in humor, with great success... Very useful, valuable, and interesting. Highly recommended." (D.V. Chopra Choice Magazine 2006-02-01)
"Aimed at a wide student audience, the objectives are to explain statistics theory and practice in a clear, engaging, user-friendly way, and the book does this well. For the purist, some of the phrasing might be loose and the theory light, but the book works well as an introductory text for its intended audience." (Andrew Millard, Research Officer of Greater Glasgo NHS 2006-02-16)
"This text is notable for the breadth of statistics covered and for seamless meshing this content with SPSS." (Eileen Gigliotti 2007-05-31)
`It is noteworthy that after I used some of the illustrations and mentioned the book in class, most students went and bought a copy. Their final papers were heavily "Field-referenced"! That is the best endorsement one can give to a text' - Journal of Advanced Nursing
`The wide range of statistical techniques covered combined with good accompanying background explanations, communicated in a relaxed, affable style, make this book a useful addition to the bookshelves of both practitioners and teachers of statistics alike in the social sciences' - Peter Watson, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge and Chair of ASSESS, Independent European Group of SPSS Users
`The Second Edition of Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS is an excellent book and a valuable addition to the teaching of statistics in the behavioral sciences. The title of the book accurately reflects the approach taken. This is not simply a primer on how to use SPSS, but is a very good statistics text using SPSS as a vehicle for illustrating and expanding on the statistical content of the book. At the same time it also serves as a manual for SPSS, and has taught me things that I had not known about the software. One advantage of the text is that it is not tied specifically to the latest version of SPSS. Although the examples use version 12.0, there are many references to the difference the students will find if they are using an earlier version. A good example of how the text is structured can be seen in Chapters 8 and 9. Chapter 8 provides an introduction to the analysis of variance, and roughly the first 40 pages are devoted to statistical issues. Only after that introduction does the author move to a discussion of using SPSS to run the analyses. Chapter 9 deals with the analysis of covariance, and here the author moves almost immediately to SPSS printout, having laid most of the groundwork in the previous chapter. I find this flexible approach to the blending of content and software to be an effective way of teaching the material. It is impossible to review this book without commenting on Andy's particular style. I enjoyed it immensely and think that it would appeal to both students and their instructors. It is refreshing to see someone who doesn't take himself too seriously' - David C Howell, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont
`The new edition of Field's textbook confirms its place as the best statistics text for undergraduate social science students. It provides support for those less confident about statistical analysis whilst having sufficient depth that it will still be valuable to more mathematically experienced people. There is a focus throughout on the practical aspects of data analysis and interpretation whilst at the same time emphasizing the importance of rigour and a good understating of theory… essential reading' - Dr Ian Walker, Department of Psychology, University of Bath
`Very useful, valuable and interesting. Summing up: Highly recommended' - CHOICE, Current Reviews for Academic Librarians
This new edition of Field's textbook provides students of statistical methods with everything they need to understand, use and report statistics - at every level.
Written in Andy Field's vivid and entertaining style, and furnished with playful examples from everyday student life (among other places), the book forms an accessible gateway into the often intimidating world of statistics and a unique opportunity for students to ground their knowledge of statistics through the use of SPSS. The text is fully compliant with the latest release of SPSS (version 13).
Key updates in the new edition:
- More coverage with completely new material on non-parametric statistics, loglinear analysis, effect sizes and how to report statistical analysis.
- Even more student-friendly features, including a glossary of key statistical terms and exercises at the end of chapters for students to work through, with datasets and answers to chapter exercises on the accompanying CD-ROM.
- A larger and more easy-to-reference format: notation in each section identifies the intended level of study while the new 2-colour text design enhances the features in the book and, together with the larger format, provides extra clarity throughout.
Andy Field is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at The University of Sussex where his success in making statistics accessible was recognized with a teaching award in 2001. He is also winner of the British Psychological Society Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Psychology.

Meerkat was pretty much crushed by Twitter owned Periscope. With the latter, your streaming feed can be watched on Twitter by your followers, or shown in private to people you select. Those with the Periscope app can watch replays of interesting videos on demand. While Meerkat is in the process of reinventing itself, a big company is rumored to be prepping an app that will be a competitor to Periscope.
A report published today says that Google is working on YouTube Connect, a live streaming app that will challenge both Periscope and Facebook Live. You should be able to log in using your Google or YouTube account, and quickly start live streaming. A news feed allows you to track the latest videos from your friends or from accounts you follow. Live streams can be watched from the YouTube Connect app, and from YouTube.
YouTube already has live streaming capabilities from its Creator Studio feature, but it is not competitive. And that is why YouTube Complete is reportedly in the works. While there is no specific launch date, there is some talk that YouTube Connect will be out around the time that Google I/O begins this year. The developer conference runs from May 18th to May 20th.
Thanks for the tip!

After several minutes, the older worker had had enough."Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that building that you won't be able to wheel back." "You're on, old man," the young braggart replied. "Let's see what you got." The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said,"All right, Dumb A$$, get in."

Unwritten historyMature
I put the last of my possessions away, and give my uniform back to the WPP (world political planning.) They had just recently set into motion the fall of country in Asia for complicated reasons that involve lots of money, and a lot of story telling. I'm a recorder, and that job entitles recording soon to be history as the people who trained and basically made me said. My life mostly entails, observing , infiltrating agencies, organizations, governments, and Observing there every move, and since a lot of history seems to revolve around war I find myself holding a gun, and wearing bullet proof vests most of the time.
Also since war is what a lot of what history revolves around I also have been bread and genetically modified to evolve quicker than any human giving me abilities as I go along, like incredible hearing, increased sight, ability to regenerate wounds quickly, and others skills.
I begin walking out looking at my former comrades faces of disappointment. We had all spent months and to some a year or two working together saving each others lives, and on off time dabbling in each others lives. Even though mine was a fake coverup. I had a mutual feeling towards them but I also felt guilt for feeling that since it was forbidden to get attached to people inside of each assignment. It was a rule set in place to save distraction and worry about people you cannot save, or even one day have to kill. I give them all confident smiles as a few congratulated me on my 'transfer'.
"Drake." I hear Bryony say and I turn around," Keep out of trouble, and you better stay in contact alright?"
"Sounds great." I say turning around giving her a loose hug before leaving the building, to get phone call.
"Alright Drake your name is going to be Snow Blakerson,and you cover up is simple, your just going to be a military man who is going to see the efficiency of these new subjects with cybernetic limbs. Also on a side note we believe there is more to this organization or the several conglomerations of government will lest us know , but from previous assignments we think there is alien involvement. Your flight is at two in the afternoon, and you'll be landing on an aircraft carrier in the mid Atlantic. More information will be given to you there. Hope you like the new name. Bye Snow, old friend." The call ends abruptly as it started, I almost like I stepped half way through the conversation, but I understood all of that completely.
A few hours later I find myself boarding a military plane with lots of different classes of men from the lowest of ranks to government officials. I looked around observing everything around me with a carefully take quick note to listen to each and everyone conversation. Right now what these men where saying could be important to the future. As I did this I couldn't help but feel like as I was being followed, its almost as if I was hearing some one familiar in the air craft, but who, and where are they? It troubled me and I need to find who they where before they found out who I am.
The aircraft carrier was gigantic compared to the other few I have been on , and it was fairly different from any normal aircraft carrier , it was filled wit technology that only the few that had been developed.
"Snow Blakerson?" A man says behind me, " Come this way."

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › baking cornbread on a woodstove
Mar 4, 2011 at 7:39 am #1270038
I had some Jalapeno Cornbread mix unused after my last trip. I baked it up this afternoon using my smallest Firemug.
It is a pre-packaged mix but I added 3/4 cup dehydrated saffron rice and a little extra water and used the outback oven. It turned out well. I ate almost all of it with a little butter.
First I boil some water for green tea.
After the water boils and the fuel is essentially coals, I place the pan on for a minute to heat up, pour the batter in and rig up the outback oven.
With the smaller mugs I usually add a few twigs after a few minutes to keep the temp at baking level. the middle black marking indicates the temp is at "bake"
I probably could have left it on a few more minutes, but I was hungry.Mar 4, 2011 at 4:35 pm #1704565
that looks yummyMar 4, 2011 at 4:48 pm #1704573
thanks Laurie Ann!
The saffron rice really added a lot of flavor and texture.
My Outback oven is 20 years old but really hasnt been used that much until the last couple of years on my woodstoves.
I have turned into a dehydrating addict with my thrift store dedydrator. I baked a trout in it a few weeks ago that tuned out great.Mar 4, 2011 at 5:12 pm #1704580
I adore saffron.
I find it curious that you were able to use the OO with a woodstove. I am going to have to try it out with my Vital Stove. I have both the Plus 10 Outback Oven and the ultralight. Which one I use depends on style of trip.
I know baking isn't particularly UL but it sure does add something to a trip, doesn't it?Mar 4, 2011 at 5:36 pm #1704589
Wow, I hadnt heard of this type of stove but it looks very sturdy. that would the ticket for car camping.
Woodstoves work fantastic for baking. The coals produce a very mellow heat. I like to use a totally enclosed pan to avoid any smoke getting in the food. With the larger stoves, you can use larger fuel and probably wont have to add ANY extra fuel to finish a good 20min. bake.
I have this year started to carry just a Firemug with no additional fuel for my hikes. Here in the Southeast where we have no real fire restrictions and plent-o-wood it is pretty easy.
I call it the "just one limb" principle"
Over the course of a days hike (even in snow) I will pass at least one choice limb. (3ft long, base being close to thumb size with a lot of smaller branches near the tip.)this should be enough for supper and breakfast. I break it up as small as I can and stuff it into one of those papery type grocery store reusable bags (less than 1oz) and carry it with me.
The stove shown above weighs 1.8 oz.Mar 4, 2011 at 5:49 pm #1704598
The Vital stove has a damper so you can control the heat. I don't mind using it for hiking if we go on certain longer trips. I find that it's better on longer trips when I can justify the extra weight because of the fact I don't have to carry fuel. We do use it car camping and in the winter though.Mar 4, 2011 at 8:30 pm #1704656
I like that it folds down so small. I missed that the first time I looked at the website. It would make a good stove for sea kayaking and superb for group cooking with the 50lb capacity. How long do the batteries hold out?
The grill looks nice too.Mar 6, 2011 at 10:57 am #1705105
We use it for group cooking mostly when there are 4 to 8 of us. The batteries have lasted us well on a 12 day trip. I used rechargeables in it. I can't remember the number of hours quoted for the battery life but 40-ish seems to come to mind.Mar 8, 2011 at 9:27 am #1706050

Liquid Health™ Attention is a liquid ADD and ADHD focus supplement for children and adults. Improving one's attention and ability to focus in the case of ADD and ADHD, especially for children, can often prove to be difficult. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do. It can sometimes be helpful to take a liquid ADHD focus supplement to help make daily tasks less of a burden. Here at Liquid Health, Inc., we manufacture a high quality liquid focus supplement. One of the many benefits of our attention focus supplement is that it is offered in a liquid form. This means that the important vitamins, minerals, and nutrients get into your body more quickly than they would otherwise, such as if taken in pill or capsule form.
Research has shown that ADD and liquid ADHD focus supplements can provide the essential minerals and amino acids for proper brain development, function and focus in both children and adults. Signs of attention deficit or reduced focus may or may not be an indication of ADD or ADHD. For best results, take with Liquid Health™ Children's Multiple, which contains trace minerals and enzymes or Liquid Health™ Complete Multiple for adults.
Many times ADD/ADHD focus attention difficulties are treated using medication or behavior therapy. However, even with treatment, many parents see little improvement in the learning disabilities of their children. Not surprisingly, proper nutritional, exercise and sleep can be a helpful support. Supporting the nutritional needs of a child with ADD/ADHD can be very beneficial in improving educational and behavior issues and symptoms. Using a liquid ADHD supplement or other type of liquid focus supplement can sometimes be very helpful. Of course, we recommend consulting with your physician before starting any new liquid supplement routine.
