So, other than my Sunday run/walk with my mentee, this weekend was pretty much a total bust for fitness, which bums me out. The run was 2.91 miles (Lake of the Isles) and in the middle of it, I stopped to run some hills on the north side by the tennis courts. I ran the hill 6 times and then finished the last mile of our run. Then I did about 35 weighted lunges on each leg. Weighted incidentally with a 5 liter jug of olive oil, because it was what I could find! I looked for a scale to weigh it but couldn't find one. (remember folks that I have been hanging out in the burbs and am thrown into a large family's suburban home life!)
Needless to say, even with the best intentions to try and run Saturday and get to body pump Sunday, these didn't happen. I had the chance to go for a bike around the hood, but opted to cook a healthy supper instead and make sure that I had some healthy food for today's lunch. But, I am striving for a balance and since I did run, I will plan a bike ride in the burbs later this week!
So now for the fitness fun part of the weekend! I was able to volunteer for the Miracle Kids Triathalon that was held at Lake Nokomis on Saturday the 18th! There were about 400 kids between the ages of 7-17 who participated in the swim, bike, run event.
Mission: To introduce kids to a fun way to get fit, be active and learn the value of giving back through racing in a world-class event.
Theme: Kids Racing for Kids Who Can't. Hundreds of Minnesota kids are battling cancer and are too sick to race - so the Miracle Tri kids do the racing for them. Their leg's marked with the name of the child with cancer they are racing for in spirit.
It was a sweet event and there is a second event coming up August 15th at Lake Ann Park in Chanhassen. Click here for more details or to register! Every participant wears the #1 for a race number and comes away with a medal for their big race accomplishment!!
The other Fun Fitness event of the weekend was the Blaisdell YMCA Grand Re-opening There was a carnival in the parking lot and give-a-ways! It was a huge success. I was able to sit in on the ribbon cutting ceremony listen to the history of the location and how it was transformed.
Fitness Log update to come soon...sneek preview: I can't find a fitness log I like.

The idea of an "education researcher" is unusual, given that this person after studying an issue for years arrives at a conclusion any teacher could have explained to him in one minute. Professor Jouni Valijarvi of the Finnish Institute of Educational Research has spent years to find out that about one third of Finnish students dislike school! Wow! Isn't that surprising! The good professor also has discovered something only about 90% of educators knew from being a teacher– "weak skills, losing faith in one' own ability to learn, and lack of enthusiasm for further studies tend to accumulate on the same pupils." In plain English this means if you lack good reading or writing skills, grades go down and you wind up hating school.
Of course, the flip side of this story is that about 70% of students like school. Most feel this is "their school" and they enjoy being in it. It would be interesting to know what percent of teachers dislike school and dislike some students. After all, a teacher is really human.

The New York Giants' decision to hire David Tyree as their new Director of Player Development — a move that was announced earlier this week — has ignited a firestorm across the league and throughout the LGBT community. It has twice drawn the ire of the Human Rights Campaign — once when the hire was first announced and then again when the hire was defended — and even drew some criticism from former members of the Giants.
"Number one, he was qualified for the job. He is a terrific fit for us and we're happy to have him on board," General Manager Jerry Reese said earlier this week. "Sometimes you say some things that maybe you don't want to say or shouldn't have said and things can get blown out of proportion to a degree. But I'm not here to talk about social issues or somebody's personal opinion about their beliefs.
"I believe everybody should be treated equal, I believe everybody should be treated fairly, I believe everybody should have an opinion on what they want to say. Most of all I believe I should mind my own business and try to keep the plank out of my own eye."
Despite the Giants' very public equal rights stance, which includes support of the LGBT community, critics of this hire refused to focus on anything other than David Tyree's religious beliefs and comments he made in both 2011 and 2013, which included a willingness to hypothetically trade the Super Bowl XLII title for the elimination of gay marriage and a belief in conversion therapy.
"When did Tyree decide to be straight?" Human Rights Campaign president Chad Griffin asked in the statement. "The idea that someone can change their sexual orientation or gender identity is ludicrous, and the New York Giants are risking their credibility by hiring someone who publicly advocates this junk science. His opposition to basic legal equality aside, David Tyree's proselytizing of such dangerous practices goes against the positive work the Giants organization has done in recent years."
One person who wasn't so quick to express an intolerance of Tyree's religious beliefs — although he admittedly doesn't agree with them — was Wade Davis, an openly gay former NFL player who gave Tyree a chance to express his beliefs in a way that opened the door to not only positive communication, but now, a budding friendship.
"During the current media firestorm surrounding Giants' hiring of David, I paused to reflect on my initial resistance toward him and asked myself, can we create the space for all individuals to evolve? Have we given up on understanding, engaging, and educating? Are we unwilling to offer compassion to those whose views may shock or offend us? Why has the default response now become to vilify and judge before we seek to ask questions?" Davis recently wrote.
As Davis spent more time with Tyree and his family, he came to realize Tyree wasn't actually attempting to change anyone, but just wasn't expressing his religious beliefs in the most appropriate of ways. But now, with the lines of communication fully open, Tyree has been able to get his message across through Davis.
"Christianity teaches us love, compassion, and respect for our fellow man, and it is in that light that I will continue to work with Wade and others to better serve the gay community. I would absolutely support any player on the Giants who identified as gay, in any way I could. And I will continue to stay in touch with Wade to ensure I am aware of the right ways to do that," Tyree said.
Despite the support of Wade Davis and other members of the LGBT community, the Human Rights Campaign has not removed their multiple statements demeaning the Giants or Tyree, and have not offered any follow-up on Davis' remarks or Tyree's latest statement.

Shares of DirecTV are bouncing, but one large trade sees limited upside for the satellite-television operator.
optionMONSTER's tracking systems detected the sale of 10,000 March 52.50 calls for $0.99, well below the listed bid price at the time. Open interest in the strike at the start of the session was just 617 options, so this is a new opening position.
DTV is up 0.65 percent to $49.32 this afternoon, making up for yesterday's losses. Shares bounced off support at $48 two weeks ago but remain in a downtrend from its 52-week closing high just above $54 in mid-September.
Today's call selling is based on the thesis that DTV won't be much above $52.50 at the time of that expiration. The trader is also be betting that the implied volatility of those options is too high.
The calls may have been sold naked with an initial bearish bias, or they could have been traded against long shares in a covered call position. The latter would be bullish up to the $52.50 strike price but not beyond. (See our Education section)

Cauliflower Soup with Pecans and Rye Croutons
The Good News Mary Ellen Diaz usually ignored cauliflower when she worked as a high-end restaurant chef, but now she loves how it adds a natural, clean flavor to this luscious soup as well as lots of vitamins: Three florets provide close to half the daily requirement of vitamin C.
Slideshow: More Warming Soups
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 3 tablespoons light olive oil
- 2 leeks, white and pale green parts only, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- Two 2-pound heads of cauliflower, cored and cut into 2-inch florets, 1/2 cup of tiny florets reserved for garnish
- 1 Granny Smith apple—peeled, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 5 thyme sprigs
- 1 slice crustless rye bread, cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 cup)
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large, heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the leeks and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the large cauliflower florets and the apple and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the broth and thyme sprigs and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes.
Spread the diced rye bread, pecan pieces and tiny cauliflower florets on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat. Season generously with salt and pepper and bake, stirring once, for about 10 minutes, or until the rye bread croutons are crisp.
Discard the thyme sprigs from the soup. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. Return the soup to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, scatter the croutons, pecans and cauliflower on top and serve.
Make Ahead
The soup can be refrigerated overnight. Reheat gently before serving. Add more chicken broth to thin the soup to the desired consistency, if needed.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Mary Beth
|Wonderful news! My husky was like that. I know how frightening it can be. I wished I had known then about pre-biotics -maybe that would have helped her.
Update on the 2 week puker
Had Roxy to the vet today for an xray -- everything shows up normal...no blockage. Maybe just a tad bit of inflammation ...vet gave her 10 days of antibiotics to be sure ( some long tech name for what it could be)...but he feels she's just going to be that dog that pukes every once in awhile and probably just because she's not chewing but swallowing her kibble.
so $130 later at least we know it's nothing to worry about. She's 14 months and 67 lbs which he said she's a beautiful dog..great coat..nice teeth , healthy and perfect weight. He said to keep up what we are doing.
Phew..sigh of relief

David N. Snyder wrote:563 BCE is the most widely used date for the birth and 483 BCE for paranibbana.
But it may have been as early as 624 BCE or as late as 463 BCE and with the latter, the death would be at 383 BCE about 100 to 200 years before Ashoka's edicts.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
More than 20 years since Chef Vincent Guerithault first dazzled Phoenix foodies with his ground-breaking menu which combines traditional French cuisine with distinctively Southwestern touches his restaurant still sets an example for fine dining in the Valley. Nowadays, of course, Guerithault's fusion cuisine is considered classic, unlike so many restaurant trends that have come and gone over the past couple of decades. Duck tamales with Anaheim chiles, corn ravioli with truffle oil, shrimp beignets, and house-smoked salmon quesadillas honestly, we can't see ourselves ever tiring of this stuff. Same goes for the upscale but unpretentious atmosphere, and service so gracious that they'll hardly let you out the door without a bite of dessert, even when you're too stuffed to order it. Indeed, it's hard to turn down a free slice of fruit tart, but if you're really smart, you'll plan ahead and leave some room for the wonderful chocolate soufflé. It's so warm and intensely flavored that you'll float out of the restaurant on a cloud.
Don't get us wrong we adore the savory dinner options at Sweet O Wine & Chocolate Lounge. From cheeses and dips, served with excellent grilled bread from Simply Bread, to fresh salads and creative panini, there's plenty on the menu that we're happy to fill up on. But why try to save room for dessert when that's the star attraction of this sleek little eatery? Better to start off with exactly what you came for exotic chocolate pastries, chocolate fondue, chocolate hazelnut panini with crme fraîche and crispy hazelnuts, and petits fours galore. Once you get a glimpse of the chocolate treats in the display case, you won't be able to wait 'til after dinner to indulge. From macadamia toffee and milk chocolate caramel to fleur de sel truffles and butter ganache pralines, Sweet O can deliver your chocolate fix in just about any form you like. Even the eclectic wine selection is geared toward cacao consumption, with a generous selection of dessert wines and fortified wines. And if you'd rather let the experts guide your palate, pick one of the chocolate flights, where three different bonbons are paired with an appropriately decadent drink. Sweet O's proprietors say the "O" stands for "origine" (French for "origin," sort of the terroir of chocolate). But after flooding our brains with blissful endorphins and alcohol, all we feel is sweet oblivion.
We sure love hot chocolate, although in the warmer months (when we'll only drink iced lattes) we can hardly stand the thought of it unless it's Cowboy Ciao's unforgettable take on the classic cold weather treat, the Cuppa Red Hot Chocolate. Here, pastry chef Tracey Dempsey interprets it as a cool, utterly decadent dessert: a rich chocolate-cinnamon pot de crme that's almost as thick as fudge, served in an oversized cup fit for cocoa. The only thing "hot" about it is a froth of oozy chipotle cream on top perfect to scoop up with the spicy ginger cookie that comes with it. We'd happily splurge on a cuppa that any day, no matter the season.
We usually order dessert when we're out somewhere fancy, when the conclusion of a multicourse meal calls for something sweet to go with our after-dinner cup o' joe. But after lunch at a sandwich shop? Hardly ever unless we're at Bertha's Café, where it's a given. At this friendly, inconspicuous little eatery, desserts are impossible to resist, appealingly displayed in a big case right next to the front counter. From cookies and muffins to malted brownies, it's all good, but we're particularly fond of their rich, creamy, homemade cheesecakes. Sometimes it's actually hard to choose from the daily assortment of just-made mini-cakes, with creative concoctions like s'mores, baklava, and banana cream. Bertha's flavors are anything but plain Jane.
Check your guilt at the door. From buttery grits and mac 'n' cheese to the famous fried chicken served with a hot stack of waffles, everything at Lo-Lo's is stick-to-your-ribs delicious. So it only makes sense that dessert here would be a luscious affair, worth every calorie-laden bite. And, boy, does the red velvet cake deliver. One slice of this sweet, red-tinted chocolate cake slathered in buttery cream-cheese icing that we could just eat with a spoon is thick enough to feed two people. Still, we'd rather get one all for ourselves. We figure, if we're gonna blow our diet, we might as well do it with gusto.
We love olive oil drizzled on salads or soaked up with a soft piece of bread, but in dessert? Admittedly, the sound of olive oil cake turned us off at first. But we were very pleasantly surprised when curiosity got the better of us at radioMILANO, and now it's our favorite choice for sweet satisfaction at the end of the meal. Here, the thick slice of cake is so moist and velvety that it's hard to eat just a bite or two. It's served with a huge, smooth dollop of thickened cream (you'll never be able to eat Cool Whip again after tasting it) and a nice blob of blackberry jam, although we'd gladly eat it plain. And here's a word to the wise: Get your own piece. The rest of the menu might be full of shareable small plates, but when it comes to olive oil cake, we gotta look after ourselves.

Bike Lanes: A Ride Down Grand Street
New York, NY —
Mayor Bloomberg has been redefining New York's streets as places to walk and ride bicycles, not just drive. He's turned Times Square into a pedestrian zone, introduced traffic calming measures and added 200 miles of bike lanes in the past three years. Some New Yorkers have balked at these changes. They have even figured into the mayoral campaign. WNYC reporter Matthew Schuerman and producer Richard Yeh visited one bike lane to see what the fuss is about.
REPORTER: The new bike lane on Grand Street in Lower Manhattan covers less than three-quarters of a mile in a city with more than 18,000 miles of streets. But it's a particularly contested stretch shared by cars, delivery trucks, tour buses, push carts, hand trucks, pedestrians, shopping carts, and bicycles. A year ago, those bikes were supposed to stay tucked inside a standard sort of bike lane, about four feet wide, painted onto the street next to a line of parked cars. Josh Benson of the city Department of Transportation says it was a "failed street."
BENSON: It was chaotic. People were driving in the bike lane, parking in the bike lane. Cyclists were weaving around. Motorists were weaving around.
REPORTER: Last November, the DOT moved the bike lane behind the line of parked cars. Now, cars park about six feet from the curb. Bicyclists ride between those cars and the sidewalk. Benson says the street was transformed
BENSON: Cars were not able to block the bike lane. Traffic had to stay in one single line.
REPORTER: The DOT considers the bike lane a success: ridership has increased by 60 percent over the past 18 months. To bicyclist, and artist, Camille Billops, the protected lane is an answer to her prayers.
BILLOPS: I ride these lanes and I'm happy to be away from the cars. It's a wonderful thing and God bless the mayor.
REPORTER: But businesses along the route define "success" differently. In Chinatown, Alisa Gan has run a noodle cart with her cousin for 15 years.
GAN: Way shuh muh chu shee…
TRANSLATOR: Why did so many incidents happen? It's so narrow here. The cars used to park all the way by the curb, now they park in the middle of the street....
REPORTER: She says she sees an accident almost every day. Gan also says emergency vehicles can't maneuver past traffic jams like they used to.
GAN: How shiang, uh…
TRANSLATOR: Like ambulances, if there's an emergency, they cannot get through. It used to be that with a red traffic light down the block, an ambulance can still get through, but not anymore.
REPORTER: Gan isn't alone. Merchants from a high-end rug shop owner in SoHo to café owner in Little Italy echoed her complaints. But the city DOT says the bike lane has made Grand Street safer. The number of injuries to cyclists, pedestrians and motorists has dropped from about three a month to about two. Overall accidents, including fender benders, declined 16 percent.
The DOT added zebra lines at some intersections earlier this year to help trucks and buses to make the tight turns. But that's caused another problem for Ernesto Rossi, who owns a souvenir store in Little Italy.
ROSSI: So the way I look at it, probably about half the parking space has been taken away from Grand Street.
REPORTER: Rossi says he's lost 40 to 50 percent of his business in the past year and attributes half of it to the bike lane. He went to a community board meeting last year to oppose it.
ROSSI: And they said you know they wanted the city to look like Copenhagen. They want it to look like and this is Manhattan. It's Manhattan. It's not Copenhagen.
REPORTER: In September, Bill Thompson, the Democratic candidate for mayor, toured Chinatown. For him the bike lane was another example of the Bloomberg administration's arrogance. He said he'd take out the Grand Street bike lane because there wasn't enough community input.
Ben Fried's been following the controversy for Streetsblog, a blog for bicyclists and transportation advocates.
FRIED: It's tough to see how that squares with how this project has gone forward.
REPORTER: The DOT says there was outreach. The agency passed out flyers to merchants before the community board meeting. A few of them, including Ernesto Rossi, showed up to object. But the transportation committee endorsed the bike lane anyway. A few weeks later, the full community board did too, by a vote of 33-to-1, with 1 abstention.
REPORTER: The political bickering has reached some of the bicyclists who ride down Grand Street every day, like Nick Miscione.
MISCIONE: I had high hopes for Bill Thompson. And this is a real disappointment.
REPORTER: If the bike lane has become a symbol to some of the Mayor's heavy-handedness, for bicyclists it's a sign of their new-found legitimacy.
MISCIONE: It's not so much the lane itself as it is the message that it conveys.
REPORTER: A spokeswoman for Bill Thompson says the Democratic candidate supports bike lanes in general but not on Grand Street. Some merchants say that's swaying their vote towards Thompson. But others say they're still undecided. The election is next Tuesday.
REPORTER: For WNYC, I'm Matthew Schuerman.
WNYC's Richard Yeh contributed reporting and translated from the Mandarin for this report.

China bars HK activist priest as Vatican tension escalates
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China blocked a Hong Kong Catholic priest and rights activist from entering the mainland last week in what he said may have been a show of unhappiness with the Vatican for excommunicating two bishops recently ordained by Beijing.
In a sign of escalating tension between the Roman Catholic Church and Beijing, China said on Monday the Vatican's recent excommunication of the Chinese bishops who were ordained without papal approval was "unreasonable" and "rude.
Father Franco Mella, who recently took part in protests in Hong Kong against China's unilateral ordination of priests, said Chinese immigration officials did not give him any explanation for cancelling his Chinese visa when he presented himself at a checkpoint in China's southern city of Shenzhen on July 19.
"Perhaps it was due to the ordination of the bishop of Shantou (in southern China). That was not recognised by the Vatican and the bishop was then excommunicated by the Vatican," Mella told Reuters on Tuesday.
Mella, who had intended to visit a church in central Henan province, said this was the first time in 20 years of living in Hong Kong that he had been denied entry into mainland China.
Milan-born Mella, 62, is well known for helping refugees and campaigning for residency rights for mainland Chinese women married to Hong Kong men.
"They didn't say anything. They kept me waiting for an hour, watching TV and then three of them came to show me my passport and the stamp on the visa showed it was cancelled," Mella said.
"When I asked them when I can apply to visit China again, they said they didn't know," he added.
Two other Hong Kong-based foreign priests who did not join the protests were also turned away by Chinese immigration officials, one of them on July 21 and the other about six weeks ago, Mella said. Continued...

"The announcement cards was a great success. It showed how professional the company can be. Thank you very much for making my life a lot easier."
"First of all, this was a rush delivery and it arrived exactly on time. The quality of the photographs were spot on and the colors were very rich and vibrant. Got a lot of positive responses from relatives and friends. I like how there was enough room to say where she was going and majoring in the center space. Thank you for a great card to add to our memories of our daughter's graduation from high school!"
"I'm always impressed by the number of design choices at Tinyprints, and the quality meets or exceeds my exacting standards."
"It was super simple to upload photos and personalize. I requested Next Day shipping and it actually arrived a day late...BUT I reached out to customer service and they took care of everything, even refunded entire shipping amount without me having to ask. They were awesome and so was the finished product. Have received many compliments on the announcements."
"The card/announcement was beautiful. Photo was clearly printed. It took a long time for me to decide which design to go with the picture and then customizing it because there were so many choices, colors & design options. A good problem. Friends & family enjoyed receiving a beautiful & quality announcement."

Man pulls gun, sticks up Monessen pharmacy
Police are investigating a robbery Saturday afternoon at Union Prescription Center in Monessen, where a man reportedly ran off with prescription painkillers.
Monessen Detective Lt. John Manderino said police received a call 12:38 p.m. Saturday from pharmacist and owner Angela Borrello at the Donner Avenue business.
Borrello said she saw a man standing outside the front doors before he entered wearing a dark ski mask and grey hoodie, Manderino said.
The man allegedly demanded OxyContin and pulled a semi-automatic pistol from his waistband.
"She walked behind the counter and the male followed," Manderino said. "She handed him several types of medication, and he placed them in a plastic bag."
The man did not ask for or take any money, he said. The street value of OxyContin averages $1 per milligram.
"The pills are worth a lot more on the street than what he could've gotten out of the cash register," said Manderino, noting the explosion of illegal prescription pill sales that includes Vicodin, Percocet and Xanax.
There was no description of the suspect, although he is believed to be white with dark hair.
The pharmacy was closed Sunday, and Borrello could not be reached for comment.
Anyone with information is asked to call Monessen police at 724-684-4620.

Giant Strides Heelys Range
Heelys shoes with wheels were first created and sold by American, Roger Adams, in 2000. His idea for the wheeled shoes began in 1998 when he was on holiday and watching kids skate up and down the streets on their inline skates and he had an idea of a shoe that could roll just by shifting your body weight.
The first pair of Heelys were then created. Adams says, "I cut up a pair of running shoes, taking a hot butter knife and cutting out the heels. Then I ran a rod through the heel, and used one of the wheels from a skateboard." Since then, boys and girls have been seen "heeling" as a new form of transport.
In just the first year, 1.25 million pairs of Heelys were sold. Heelys are now being sold in 30 different countries and have become a more practical and easier to use option than skates or roller blades as Heelys let the wearer shift from walking to skating without changing footwear.
As an approved UK Heelys stockist, Giant Strides have a huge selection of Heelys for both boys and girls ready for immediate delivery. We supply the best range of Heelys for kids up to a junior UK size 6.

Life insurance may secure the financial future for your family. Life insurance ensures that your dependents will have the financial resources needed to maintain their lifestyle. It is important that you understand your needs and the choices available.
Life insurance can be used to accomplish a variety of financial goals, such as funding retirement or education expenses. However, it is important to remember that the main purpose of life insurance is financial protection for your family's lifestyle.
If your primary goals are something other than protection, you should consider what other financial products are available to meet those goals.
Your personal insurance agent and company are good sources of general information about insurance.
For information regarding life insurance or annuities, please contact:
Mihir Nag, Ph.D.
Life and Annuity Specialist
The best way to make an informed decision about buying life insurance is to become familiar with the basics. There are three life insurance basics that all consumers should consider:
An important feature of life insurance is that there is no federal income tax on proceeds paid to beneficiaries.
Before buying life insurance, you should assemble personal financial information and review your family's needs. Factors to consider include:
One rule of thumb is to buy life insurance that is equal to several times your annual gross income, to allow your family the ability to continue their lifestyle for several years without hardship.
If you need to stop paying premiums, you may be able to use the cash value to continue your current insurance protection for a specific period of time or to provide a lesser amount of protection to cover you for as long as you live. Usually, you may borrow from the insurance company, using the cash value in your life insurance as collateral. Unlike loans from most financial institutions, the loan is not dependent on credit checks or other restrictions. You ultimately must repay any loan with interest or your beneficiaries will receive a reduced death benefit.
Before purchasing a policy, check the company's financial condition. You can do this by asking the agent. A number of insurance rating services rate the financial strength of companies. The A.M. Best ratings guide is available through the link on the IDOI website.
Collect the names of several agents (also called producers) through recommendations from friends, family and other sources. The following are some questions you may want to ask a potential agent:
The major association for agents is the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors, Inc. (NAIFA). Through NAIFA's local associations, agents can attend educational seminars and can stay informed of trends in the business.
The agent you have selected will meet with you to discuss your life insurance needs. He or she will ask questions about family income and your net worth. Using the information you already have assembled about your financial situation, you should be prepared to discuss your insurance options.
In this initial meeting, be prepared to answer questions about your health (for example, age, medical condition, medical history, family history, personal habits). It is important that you answer these questions carefully and truthfully. You may also have to have some level of medical checkup as part of the application process.
Once you have discussed your financial needs and objectives with your agent, he or she will recommend the type of life insurance policy that will best suit your purposes. Most insurance companies provide a Buyers Guide to help you ask the right questions and select the proper life insurance for your needs.
Provisions or "riders" that provide additional benefits can be added to a policy. One such rider is a "waiver of premium for disability." With this rider, if you become totally disabled for a specified period of time, you do not have to pay premiums for the duration of the disability. Another rider, called an "accidental death benefit," provides for an additional benefit in case of death as a result of an accident.
A relatively new rider offered by some companies provides "accelerated benefits," also known as "living benefits." This rider allows you, under certain circumstances, to receive the proceeds of your life insurance policy before you die. Such circumstances include terminal or catastrophic illness, the need for long-term care or confinement to a nursing home.
Ask your agent for information about these and other policy riders.
"All consumers should remember to review their life insurance policy every year before paying their premiums and update it to reflect any major changes in their lives – like marriage, the birth of a child, divorce or the death of a spouse," said Insurance Commissioner Jim Atterholt. "Before signing up for any kind of insurance, consumers should check with our state insurance department to make sure the company offering the policy is legitimate, solvent and authorized to do business in Indiana."
Annuities are forms of financial protection. An annuity is a contract written by a life insurance company to provide continuing income, typically for retirement. Payments, which are generally made on a monthly basis, are usually arranged to continue for as long as you live or for a stated period of time. Payments may begin at once or at some future date.
The annuity contract is often described as being the opposite of life insurance. It pays while you live; life insurance pays when you die. Actually, the two can complement each other. Instead of lump sum benefit payments, many life insurance beneficiaries choose to use their policy's proceeds to purchase an annuity.
You should tailor any decision to buy an annuity to your own needs. To do so, talk with a qualified life insurance agent or financial advisor.
Many people buy annuities to give them retirement income for the rest of their lives. An annuity contract can also be a means of building assets for other purposes with a more limited time span.
Annuities can be used to fund an Individual Retirement Account. They also may be used in Keogh-type retirement plans for the self employed.
There are two basic types of annuity contracts. The kind of annuity you choose to buy determines when benefit payments will begin.
Immediate annuities are generally purchased by people of retirement age. Such plans provide income payments at once or soon after purchase. They are usually purchased with a lump sum payment.
Deferred annuities are plans under which you arrange to have income payments start at some future date. Interest builds up on the money contributed. Such plans are often used by younger people to save money for retirement. These plans have become popular in good part because of the tax-deferred buildup during the accumulation period, the time during which you pay money into the annuity contract.
Under either form of deferred annuity, if you die before the annuity payments begin, the accumulated value of your contract is paid to your designated beneficiary.
You can also convert the cash value of your life insurance policy to an annuity. For example, if you are over 65 and your children are out of school and are financially self-sufficient, you may now feel you no longer need all of your life insurance coverage. Your life insurance policy probably contains an option allowing you to convert its cash value to a life-time income.
Some contracts let you borrow against your accumulated contract value. You may also be able to use the annuity as collateral for a bank loan.
With deferred annuities, insurance companies guarantee the interest that will be credited to your contract value. Every contract contains a long-term guarantee. The company, typically, credits interest at rates higher than the guarantee, as its investment results permit, and it may provide short-term guarantees at rates higher than the long-term guaranteed rate or rates.
With an immediate annuity, you will be told at the time of purchase exactly how much money you will get and when you will get it.
When you buy a deferred annuity, the interest credited to your contract builds up free of current income tax.
Once you start to receive a monthly payment, however, the government begins to tax the accumulated interest. Part of each payment will be interest and will be taxed as ordinary income. The other part is principal and is not taxable. This is true of both deferred and immediate annuities.
If you withdraw money from your annuity before age 59 1/2, the interest you have earned on your contributions must be withdrawn before the principal and is subject to personal income tax. In addition, there is a ten percent penalty tax on such premature withdrawals, except in certain circumstances, such as disability or death.
You may want to consult a tax advisor well in advance of retirement for more information about the taxation of retirement income. Also, the Internal Revenue Service has helpful booklets on the subject.
Most states require insurance companies to pay a tax, commonly at two percent, on the annuity premiums they receive. A company will either charge you for the tax separately or include it in the premium amount.

Hygeia Supplemental Feeders and Milk Bags
Hazelbaker Fingerfeeder:
This is one of my favorite tools to use as it applies to numerous situations! It beautifully controls the flow with an ergonomic design. The 60 ml bulb is made of a soft silicon which is autoclavable or boilable. This system can also be used with the lanyard and add supplement at the breast while training a new baby or one with suckling difficulties.
Transitional Supplementation Feeder:
Sometimes we have a situation that just needs a touch of added supplementing (preferably with mother's own milk) to get more nutrients down a sleepy baby for a short time. This tool is handy for the 24 - 48 hour problems. The syringe is 20 ml capacity with 15 inches of a #5 french feeding tube that can be used on the finger or at the breast next to the nipple.
Breast Milk Bag:
These self standing, pre-sterilized bags are perfect for collecting breastmilk into and storage of it in the refriderator or freezer. The leak-proof zipper seal makes it very easy to open and close!

text: A woman from Bangor is going to prison for 10 years for her role in a crack cocaine ring that was busted in Bangor last year. 35-year-old Kizzy Fader was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Bangor. She was found guilty in May of conspiracy with the intent to distribute cocaine base. Fader's one of at least 13 people facing federal drug charges after police raided four apartments on Ohio Street and one on Garland Street last November.She was also sentenced to five years of supervised release, once she's out of prison. Authorities say the ring was linked to a drug-dealing operation in New York City.

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Panobinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Giving panobinostat together with letrozole may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of panobinostat when given together with letrozole and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
|Breast Cancer
|Drug: letrozole Drug: panobinostat Genetic: RNA analysis Genetic: microarray analysis Genetic: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction Other: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Other: immunohistochemistry staining method Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
|Phase 1 Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: panobinostat (LBH589) and letrozole
Each patient will receive panobinostat (LBH589) and letrozole. Patients will be administered LBH589 PO, 3 days per week for a total of 4 weeks. Patients will also be administered letrozole 2.5 mg PO Days 1-28 every 4 weeks. There are two phases of the study. The first phase determines the maximum tolerated dose for LBH589 in combination with letrozole. The second phase is to assess and confirm the response rate and safety profile of LBH589 in combination with letrozole.
|Drug: letrozole Drug: panobinostat Genetic: RNA analysis Genetic: microarray analysis Genetic: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction Other: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Other: immunohistochemistry staining method Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
Detailed Description:
Primary Objectives
- To determine the maximum-tolerated dose of panobinostat in combination with letrozole in patients with metastatic breast cancer. (Phase I)
- To determine the safety of this regimen in these patients. (Phase I)
- To assess the confirmed response rate and safety profile of this regimen in patients with triple-negative disease. (Phase II)
Secondary Objectives
- To assess the therapeutic effects of this regimen in these patients. (Phase I)
- To examine the duration of response, clinical benefit rate, and time to treatment failure in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
- To examine the time to progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
- To examine the estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 status of tumor at primary compared to metastatic tissue, and possibly after treatment. (exploratory)
- To bank paraffin-embedded tissue blocks/slides and blood products for future studies. (exploratory)
- To determine expression levels of biomarkers of treatment response (i.e., ER, PR, aromatase, NFkappaB, Ki67, and Caspase 3) in accessible tumors pre- and post-therapy via immunohistochemistry. (exploratory)
- To determine whether ELISA for KLK11 in serum can be used as marker of activity of letrozole and LBH589. (exploratory) The Phase I portion of this study closed and the Phase II portion of the study opened as per NCCTG Addendum 6, effective January 23, 2012.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I dose-escalation study of panobinostat followed by a phase II study. (The Phase I portion of this study closed and the Phase II portion of the study opened as per NCCTG Addendum 6, effective January 23, 2012.)
Patients receive oral panobinostat once daily on days 1, 3, and 5 in weeks 1-4 and oral letrozole once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Tumor tissue and blood samples are collected and banked for future biomarker and other analysis. Samples are also analyzed for biomarkers utilizing immunohistochemistry, microarray, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for up to 5 years.

Paul Wesley 'dating former co-star'
Paul Wesley is said to be dating his former The Vampire Diaries co-star Phoebe Tonkin.
The American actor divorced from his wife of two years, Torrey DeVitto, in June.
However Us Weekly reports Paul is already moving on from their split and has been spotting getting cosy with Phoebe Tonkin, who he starred alongside in the supernatural TV drama before she left in May.
The pair are said to have gone out for dinner together last Saturday and joined fellow celeb couple Ben McKenzie and Shelley Hennig at Soho House restaurant.
"[They were] on a double date with Ben McKenzie and Shelley Hennig," an eyewitness revealed. "It looked like Paul and Phoebe might have set Ben up with Shelley - seemed like a first date."
Paul was reportedly happy to show affection towards the 24-year-old beauty. They were even said to be comfortable locking lips in the busy restaurant, while surrounded by onlookers.
"Paul and Phoebe were 100 per cent romantic - they were across the table from Ben all cosied up on the couch kissing each other," the source added. "She had her head on his chest."
While Paul may be newly single, he and ex Torrey are thought to have "amicably split". The former couple met in 2007 before tying the knot in April 2011.
"They will continue to remain good friends," their representatives confirmed to People.com at the time.
The 31-year-old actor previously spoke about how working with Torrey helped their marriage remain secure. Torrey landed the role of Dr. Meredith Fell in The Vampire Diaries the same year they wed.
"It's fantastic because otherwise we'd be 2000 miles away, Los Angeles and Georgia, so it's very nice to be in the same geographical location," Paul told Glow magazine in December 2012.

If the engine oil was fairly new when the car was last run, it should be OK to start it now. Where did the car sit for the 8 months - outside or garaged ? If the gas tank was full when the car was laid up, then it should be OK now - if it was any less than full and the car was stored outside, then you'll need to use a fuel pressure test set on the injector rail test port to check for water.
Alternator replacement info in Discussions, Item Specific: Cadillac Tech Tips or Google "cadillac forums 1998 seville alternator replacement".
Re: Reviving the beast
the car was stored outside parking thats not in a garage or anything, and it had 1/4 of the tank of gaz, so all id have to do is test the fuel pressure on the injectors rail for water and thats it start it up?
Re: Reviving the beast
Try to find a fuel pressure test set - rent one from a large parts store. It uses a hose with Schrader fitting, attached to a gauge - hooked up to the test port on the fuel rail it will measure fuel pressure ........ but you want to bleed the fuel supply to look for water ........ so carefully remove the gauge, use an assistant in the driver's seat, hook up the now open-ended hose, hold the end in a glass jar, and have the assistant turn the key ON. The fuel pump should run for about 2 seconds to prime the fuel rail - you'll get a few ounces of gas. Turn the key OFF for 10 seconds and do it again - 6 times. If there's any water in the bottom of the tank this should move enough to get droplets in the jar - the water will sink to the bottom. Now roll the engine over as if to start it - the lowered fuel pressure should not allow the engine to start - sputter, maybe. Don't overflow the jar - pump about 10 ounces of fuel. Clean and clear ??? Good to go - and the rolling the engine over with no start should bring up oil pressure.
Remove the gauge line, cork it all up, start the engine and check for smooth running and no weird noises. ASAP, dump a 20 oz. jug of Chevron TECHRON (a powerful fuel system cleaner) into the gas tank and go fill up with new gasoline.
If the battery had died and it sat over the winter, the battery is toast, too. The tires will probably be severely flat-spotted and the brake rotors very rusty - your first few stops will be iffy and noisy.
