Laser eye surgery at the Wellington Eye Clinic comes with a lifetime warranty
If the patient is within the 1st post operative year or the requirements are met, then there is no cost for enhancement surgeryView Requirements
Laser eye surgery at the Wellington Eye Clinic comes with a lifetime warranty
1) This is only valid on laser procedures since 2004.
2) The unaided vision (vision without glasses) must have dropped below driving standard (6/12 or 20/40)
3) The vision will have been checked every 2 years since the surgery was performed.
If the requirements 1 & 2 are met, then there is no cost for enhancement surgery.
If the vision is still better than driving standard but there is the desire to sharpen it up regardless, then the cost is a fraction of the normal fee for the enhancement.
For the 1st post-operative year there are no costs for follow-up visits related to the laser eye surgery or for any enhancement surgery irrespective of the level of vision
We are so confident in our practice and our procedures, we have had it done ourselves.
Check out our staff experiences.
Find the RIGHT procedure for YOU
Vision develops in the first 7 to 8 years of life and it is important that during these years the eyes are both seeing optimally and that they are aligned (i.e. straight and not having a turn or a squint). If the vision is good during the first 7-8 years and the eyes are aligned, then there is every chance that both eyes will see well and that the brain will use the 2 eyes simultaneously. That leads to good binocular or 3-D vision. Other issues that may affect teen's eyes are conditions like keratoconus and the sooner they are detected, the sooner they can be treated. Allergic conjunctivitis is often part of hay fever too. It makes sense to have children's eyes examined around 2 years of age if there is anything that makes you suspicious of reduced eye sight or if there is a family history of a lazy eye. In the absence of this it makes sense to see children around the age of 4-5 years just before they start school.
Young adults become interested in contact lenses and laser surgery when they are told that they need to wear glasses full-time. Sports activities, outdoor adventures and just wanting to look good without the hassle of glasses would be the main motivations. The most common procedure for young adults to correct vision is LASIK and when LASIK is not possible, the likes of LASEK / PRK / TE-PRK and SMILE. If the error is so large that it is outside the limits of laser surgery, then Phakic IOL's are an excellent option
These years are very active at this stage of our lives playing sports, working, taking care of a growing family and generally just being very busy. The thought of not having glasses or contact lenses is simply very appealing at this stage. Imagine going to the swimming pool and having to keep your glasses on while swimming with the children. Having no glasses would be so much more convenient. Another very interesting change occurs in the early 40's when people become presbyopic. This is where their arms suddenly feel too short and the lights are always turned down too low for them to be able to read properly. Reading glasses can be a right pain so being able to get rid of reading glasses is a major benefit too. All of this can be achieved today with laser surgery, corneal inlay surgery and phakic IOL's and CLE (Clear Lens Extraction) and IOL.
What does this mean? Beyond the middle years? Well, for many people today life has not slowed down one bit. Meanwhile they themselves are still very active, sometimes still working, playing sports, traveling, reading, gardening - you name it, they are doing it. And life is better without glasses. So all of the procedures that we have listed before remain valid. If a lens procedure is the procedure of choice, then it would normally be a Clear Lens Extraction + IOL or a Cataract operation and IOL if there is a cataract present. It is also important to examine the eyes for conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. This all happens during the evaluation to determine the best procedure for you.
Whether you are looking to improve your vision for sports, convenience or simply to look good, we can help. Find out what kind of condition you have below, to see what options are available to you.
With myopia the eye is longer than normal, so that light rays focus in front of the retina and distant objects appear blurred. When light rays enter the normal eye, they are focused at a single point on the retina, located at the back of the eye. The cornea (the clear portion at the front of the eye) and the lens inside the eye bend or 'refract' the light rays so that they focus at the correct point.
With hypermetropia the eye is shorter than normal, so that light rays focus behind the retina. The image on the retina is blurred. When light rays enter the normal eye, they are focused at a single point on the retina, located at the back of the eye. The cornea (the clear portion at the front of the eye) and the lens inside the eye bend or 'refract' the light rays so that they focus at the correct point.
Astigmatism can occur in people who already have myopia or hypermetropia. This is where the optical system is rugby-ball shaped rather than soccer-ball shaped and hence the light rays focus in different areas of the retina. This results in blurred vision for distance and near and causes eye-strain and fatigue.
Difficulty reading at near that comes with age. When light rays enter the normal eye, they are focused at a single point on the retina, located at the back of the eye. The cornea (the clear portion at the front of the eye) and the lens inside the eye bend or 'refract' the light rays so that they focus at the correct point. As we age the lens inside the eye becomes less elastic and can no longer accommodate (or change shape) sufficiently to bring near objects into focus.
Please be advised that you are not expected to know everything about your choices as there are many of them. This is what we are here for - to advise you about which procedure is best for you or if surgery even makes sense for you. So please feel free to book a consultation and get advice on which procedure is best for your condition and get all the relevant information explained to you for your specific situation.

"If you have Lasik done, where a flap is created, then you can go back to things like golf, tennis, and running – those sorts of things within a day or two. If you want to do swimming you'd wait for a couple of weeks. Probably the best thing to do for contact sports – like karate or boxing or rugby, is perhaps to wait for 6 weeks. If you do Lasek or PRK which is on the surface, then there is nothing that you can't do within a week. The moment the surface has healed you can go back to doing anything and if you do Smile – again because you don't have the little cap – within a week you can do anything. You can go back to doing what you want to do."

Chen and Biddle Win Weekly Awards04/29/2013 11:53 AM ET
By Bill Rosario / Eastern League
PORTLAND, ME - The Eastern League is pleased to announce the winners of the Eastern League Player of the Week Award and Eastern League Pitcher of the Week Award for the period of April 22nd through April 28th:
Akron Aeros first baseman Chun-Hsiu Chen has been selected as the Eastern League Player of the Week for the period of April 22nd-April 28th. The 24-year old batted .471 (8-for-17) with three doubles, six RBI, two runs scored, one steal, five walks and a .647 slugging percentage in five games for the Aeros last week. Chen, who is a native of Hualian County, Taiwan, reached base in all five games he played in last week and had four multiple hit games, including going 2-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and one run scored for the Aeros in a 5-4 win over Trenton on Wednesday night. The 5'11", 210 lb. slugger led all Eastern League players in on-base percentage (.591) and OPS (1.238) last week and also ranked among the weekly leaders in batting average (.471-2nd), doubles (3-tied 2nd), RBI (6-tied 3rd), walks (5-tied 4th), hits (8-tied 5th), slugging percentage (.647-7th) and extra-base hits (3-tied 7th). Chen has reached base in 19 straight games for the Aeros and is batting .348 (24-for-69) with three home runs and 16 RBI in 20 games this season to go along with a league-best .477 on-base percentage. Chun-Hsiu, who hit .308 with 30 doubles and 62 runs scored in 108 games for the Aeros last season, was signed by the Cleveland Indians as a non-drafted free agent on September 14, 2007.
Chun-Hsiu Chen's Batting Line for the period of April 22-April 28, 2013
Jesse Biddle, a left-handed starting pitcher for the Reading Fightin Phils, has been selected as the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the period of April 22nd-April 28th. The 6'4", 225 lb. hurler made a pair of starts for the Fightin Phils last week and had a record of 1-0 with 26 strikeouts and a 0.00 ERA. Biddle, who is a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, made his first start of the week on Monday night at Harrisburg and set a Reading modern day record with 16 strikeouts in a 3-2 victory. He took a perfect game into the seventh inning and picked up the win after giving up just one hit and two walks over seven shutout innings. In his second appearance of the week on Sunday afternoon against visiting New Hampshire, the 21-year old gave up just one hit and three walks while striking out 10 batters over six shutout innings in a no-decision. Biddle currently leads the league in strikeouts (40) and batting average against (.114) and is also among the leaders in WHIP (0.77-2nd), innings pitched (31.0-3rd) and ERA (1.74-4th). Jesse, who entered the season rated as the top prospect in the Philadelphia organization, was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the first round of the 2010 draft with the 27th overall selection out of Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

A large dilapidated structure which was illegally built in the sensitive countryside area of Ta' Gerzuma, at Rabat, was demolished by enforcement officers of the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA).
This illegal structure which had been built and abandoned in the mid-1990s and was subdivided into two rooms, was completely demolished and removed. During the direct action operation, the Authority also removed some scrap material which had been dumped along the country track leading to it.
The site, which forms part of Wied Gerżuma was, in 1998 scheduled for its high archaeological importance as the area is a buffer zone for the Il-Qlejgha Bronze Age Village, the Il-Kuncizzjoni Megalithic Temple and the Punico Roman Remains located at Ras ir-Raheb. The site is also a proposed Level 2 Area of Ecological Importance for the karstland that supports a mosaic of garigue habitats.
This week, the Authority also sealed off three large sites where construction waste was illegally being dumped. These sites included a scheduled area in l-Aħrax tal-Mellieħa close to where the Authority carried out a similar direct action last week and in which the same contractor was involved, and at two sites in Mtarfa.
This morning, Enforcement personnel also started demolishing a number of illegally built rooms in a field in Lija but were stopped by a Court prohibitory injunction.

It seems as if only the very best are being investigated for antitrust practices theses days. Hot on the heels of an investigation beginning into Apple in the US last May, it now appears that the European Commission will begin an official investigation into Google.
In a statement, an European Union executive said:"The European Commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that Google has abused a dominant position in online search."
The EU initially began looking into allegations that Google had used its market dominance to deliberately demote the results of other search engines last February. This followed complaints from three of these search engines. Foundem, a British price comparison site, and ejustice.fr, a French legal search engine, complained that Google had deliberately demoted search results for their websites in its rankings. A third company, Ciao!, based in Germany and owned by Microsoft's Bing!, complained about the way Google sold adverts.
The Commission added in a statement that it was looking into complaints from rivals of the search giant about "unfavourable treatment of their services in Google's unpaid and sponsored search results coupled with an alleged preferential placement of Google's own services."
Google has denied all the allegations stating: "Since we started Google we have worked hard to do the right thing by our users and our industry — ensuring that ads are always clearly marked, making it easy for users and advertisers to take their data with them when they switch services, and investing heavily in open source projects."
If found guilty Google could be fined up to 10pc of its £15bn annual revenues. However this size payout is unlikely considering the largest ever payout was £930million against Intel in 2009.

i come from a rich family but im deffently not rich..
webTypo said
christmas presents should be on the end of your priority list now.
my wife and had a couple of christmas together where we bought absolutely nothing for each other because or the money we didn't had.
If you just make something that you know she likes and don't have the time to do as often as she wishes be that a massage or cooking her fav food for dinner on christmas, I am pretty sure she'll be happy with it.
I would try to get "any" job now and as soon as you have any new option switch to a better one.If you can't find anything now, don't give up it. Be on the lookout continuously.
+1 Just hug your wife in chrismart night and tell her about your plans to make more money with a refreshing mind . make her warm and take care her. She will be happy. Then you can begin to make new changes to give better life!
thanks for all your feed back everyone.. my grandfather owned a oil company many many years back.. i just wish i had some of that money .. since he passed away.. i wouldnt be where i am now
hey matt thanks for your feedback im just really stressed right now and have very little options

The way I see things, it's not about what your grandfather, or father, or whoever owned or did. It's all about what you do. And I'm not talking only about money and/or job.
You have your wife. Imho, that single fact makes you very rich man, my friend. As others pointed out, you shouldn't have to worry about Christmas presents, or at least not about buying them. Make a present, be it a thing or an act you do for your wife or anybody else you might want to make happy during Holidays.
And the thing I always try not to forget: no matter how bad things get, you are only making them worse if you let the depression and despair take over you. Heads up! Put a smile on your face (even if you have to force it at first)
A positive attitude is great to have but don't expect things to settle themselves and problems fix overnight while you peacefully sleep.
Concrete step you can do is learn a job that can give you some decent money in the future. Is not a quick solution but is the only one if you want a better standard of living.
I have all the respect for people who work in stores but frankly anyone can stock up boxes on a shelf. There is no point for the employer to keep you or just hire some other dude who may ask for less money/work more or is better at kissing the boss back.

+1…Thanks urbazon…. The best words i found here, at least for me.
Dear TNL. Dont think inside those problems. you wont see any door from inside. You have to put the problem infront of you, take a look from a wider perspective, from 360 degree, you`ll sure find your way out from that soon. Just tackle one problem after another… like swallowing… you swallow bit by bit until finish, if you take all at one time, you`ll choke…. like now.
Cheers.. Merry Christmas
When I start to stress about financial difficulties, I always remind myself that we all come to this life with nothing and death is inevitable. Spending time with the people you love and who love you is so much more important and valuable than money and stuff. I bet nobody thinks at death's door that "I wish I could've spent more time at work so I could've bought more stuff".
We all need the feeling of basic security and self-worth, but that isn't bound to what kind of work we do or how much money we have. However, when you have the feeling of basic security and self-worth, it is soooo much easier to start accumulating material wealth as well.
I wish you all the best on your journey.
My friend, the suggestions stated above are very helpful and should see you through this Christmas season if you set your mind to the task. However, I have some important information I would like to share with you that will help you in the coming years. Your passion matters a lot in this life because that is the ever boiling energy booster that will keep you moving no matter the obstacles on the way. Each and every one of us have certain obstacles we face in this life – it is considered to be the only thing that will make sure we continue to be relentless and strive to achieve our various goals in life.
I have few questions for you and you don't need to answer it here. You can pen down the answers on a paper and consider the options you have presently.
- What are the things you enjoy doing?
- Where is your passion positioned?
- What are the things you have seen others doing that you wished you were in their shoes if given the privilege? (This is very important because all you need is that passion, readiness, and right channel).
- Forget the struggles in life – ask yourself, what is it you really want to do?
- Am I really doing what I have always desired to do?
- Where do you experience your creativity to be in its highest order? (That is – what do you feel comfortable doing and you find yourself doing extremely well in it).
These six questions above are very important and they give life to the five questions below.
- Enjoy doing,
- Very creative in doing it,
- Have confidence of the result you will achieve,
- Very comfortable doing it even amongst competitors,
- Where your passions burns intensely even if someone woke you up in the middle of the night/sleep.
We all need money but money always comes to those who work for it. These questions I listed will guide you through for life. It will help you to have vision in life. It will help you to map out how happy you want to be in life – to live a life without worries and a life of full happiness whereby you can sleep like a baby and you have peace of mind knowing that you are doing exactly what you love and you are really good at it Everything above all comes together with the word 'Passion' – what you love doing to the extent of obsession. It is very important that you answer the questions with the purpose for happiness and satisfaction other than for the cause for money/fortune.
- Purpose for happiness and satisfaction – will give you the right answers that will see you through all your life.
- Cause for fortune – will make you to wrongly choose what others will like to see you doing in life.
Once you have answered it correctly and pen them down the answers in a paper, then you can start immediately to seek nearby opportunities that are related to where your passion is positioned. You can also discuss it with your dear wife to know her opinion in the matter.
"Our future is dead without vision." – Me.
Happy Christmas in advance!

If You've Got Data To Store...
You'd Be CRAZY Not To Store It On This!
USB 2 Point SLOW!
Okay, that was bad... but not NEARLY as bad as USB 2.0 is!
Technology is changing and USB 2.0 just can't cut it anymore!
480 Mbps was okay when the average file was only a couple megs a piece. But now we're talkin' about gigabytes!Transfers used to only take you a couple seconds, now they're taking up to 10 minutes!

property? Does it make a difference if the subcontractor has been paid by the general contractor and the sub is not paying their employees?
If you're working on a residential project in Louisiana, the Notice of NonPayment must be sent to the property owner at least 10 days before filing a mechanic's lien. the actual lien must be recorded within 60 days of substantial completion or abandonment of the work.
Your best bet is to notify the general contractor of your not payment, hire a local attorney to make a demand on the General Contractor and give notice of intent to record a lien to both the General and the Property Owner. Given the amount owed, it would not be practical to record a lien and then foreclose on the lien but by making the demand through an attorney, the Owner will withhold further payments to the General Contractor who will likely make sure you receive payment.

I respectfully disagree with Guy on this. Here are my thoughts:
1) It is absolutely a good idea to file a mechanics lien. In Louisiana, you can recover the cost of your mechanics lien filing before releasing your lien. Accordingly, if you spend money on this, it is something you can request to recover later. The lien will give you a claim directly against the general contractor and the property owner, making it important to them that you get paid. That is key.
Making a general demand to the subcontractor through an attorney is going to be as much, if not much much more, than filing your lien. Further, the demand may be ignored, and you may have to start down a rabbit hole of litigation against the subcontractor only (and not the GC / owner). Get the lien filed, get these other parties involved, and you'll have leverage.
2) You do not need to send any notices in Louisiana. Laborers - as you are - need not send any preliminary or intent notices prior to filing a lien. You can just go forward and file a mechanics lien.
If you are interested in doing this without an attorney, there is a great service based in New Orleans who can file your lien for a flat fee ($295) - all filing, service, etc. fees included. File a Louisiana mechanics lien through them here.

CallWave Lives On As FuzeBox Finds Funding
Remember Santa Barbara-based Callwave, the onetime developer of Internet call waiting and Internet fax services? It turns out the company still exists--albeit under another name and management--and just became, again, a venture backed startup. Callwave, which started in 1998, gained venture funding, went public in an IPO in 2004, went private, and then switched its business model to online meeting and collaboration software, renamed itself to FuzeBox back in 2009 and moving its headquarters to San Francisco. Now, FuzeBox announced a Series A funding round worth $20.0M, from Index Ventures, Khosla Ventures, and Insight Ventures. It's unclear how much of CallWave's underlying technology stills exists at FuzeBox, or what kind of strange capitalization and ownership there is at FuzeBox, but it is interesting to note that it's now come full circle to a Series A startup.

The knee joint is one of the largest joints in the body. It is comprised of two bones, the femur and tibia that are connected by four strong ligaments. These ligaments serve to stabilize and control the motion of the knee joint. The bones are cushioned by a gelatinous cartilage called meniscus that lays between them. All of these structures are at risk for damage.

The knee is the most commonly injured joint in all age groups. It is especially susceptible to damage during athletic activities and exercise. Many knee injuries can be treated conservatively with rest, ice, mobilization, and physical therapy. However, other knee injuries will require surgical intervention. This procedure is a relatively low-risk surgery and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Knee Anatomy

 Anatomy of the Knee Joint. The knee joint is medically known as the tibiofemoral joint. It is the largest joint in the body. The knee joint depends on four strong ligaments for stability. Each ligament serves to limit the motion of the knee in various directions. Injury to any of the ligaments of the knee can cause severe pain and discomfort.

 Special Tests of the Knee. Physical therapists often diagnose certain injuries through a thorough physical examination. There are a variety of tests, each specific for certain injuries. Four tests to diagnose ligamentous damage of the knee include the anterior drawer, posterior drawer, valgus, and varus tests. Laxity in any of these directions results in a positive test, and thus damage to a specific ligament.

Common Knee Disorders

 The Unhappy Triad. The "Unhappy Triad" refers to a sprain injury that involves three structures of the knee. These are the medial collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament, and the medial meniscus. It often occurs when a lateral force to the knee is received while the foot is fixed on the ground. Depending on the severity of this injury, it's treatment ranges from conservative physical therapy to surgical repair.

 Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is often the cause of knee pain in the elderly. Osteoarthritis occurs when the joint cartilage that covers the bone ends gradually wears away. This occurs due to time or overuse. For this reason, osteoarthritis is called the "wear and tear" arthritis.

 Chondromalacia. Chondromalacia describes a disorder that involves a softening of the cartilage behind the patellar bone, or the kneecap. It is most often a form of knee pain in young adults. Symptoms of chondromalacia include a dull aching in the knee behind the knee cap. It is often worse after sitting for long periods of time or when walking down stairs.

Prepatellar Bursitis . Prepatellar bursitis occurs when the bursa sac around the kneecap becomes inflamed and swollen. This results in pain around the front of the knee that occurs with activity. Prepatellar bursitis is commonly found in people who kneel often at work, such as plumbers and gardeners.

 Jumper's Knee. The patellar tendon, an extension of the quadriceps tendon, joins the kneecap to the shin bone (or tibia). This tendon allows the quadriceps muscle to straighten the leg. With repeated strain, micro-tears occur in the tendon that results in inflammation and pain. This is known medically as patellar tendonitis or jumper's knee.

 Patellofemoral Syndrome. Patellofemoral syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when the patella, otherwise known as the knee cap, does not glide correctly on the thigh bone, or the femur. This results in pain around the knee joint during activity.

Knee Exercises

 Exercises After Knee Arthroscopy. After undergoing knee arthroscopy, it is important to begin exercising your knee immediately to restore strength and full range of motion. Initial exercises should be non-weight bearing in nature, and should focus on gently strengthening and increasing joint range.

 Quadricep Muscle Strengthening. Wall Slides are an excellent way to strengthen your quadriceps muscles. The quads are major knee extensors and also help to stabilize the joint.

A PLANNING application has been submitted for the former Royal British Legion in Abergele.
The documents contain plans to turn the Water Street site into 10 flats, along with associated car parking and landscaping.
The building, which has been damaged by a fire, has had a number of previous applications and has been derelict since 2006.
An application put forward for the erection of ten flats at the beginning of this year was withdrawn.
Abergele councillor Jean Stubbs, said: "It is an absolute eyesore, at least this tidy's the area up and they're saying we need new homes so that's good. It is also a convenient spot for elderly people as it's a good location."

The lights are on
I honestly don't know how not to ruin this game and review it at the same time simply because its so amazing! The story was epic and personal like no other. The gameplay is superb and story perfect. This game is what Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect are today. How you figure out the secrets here is genuinely entertaining and truly rewarding.
No player can say this type of game is not for them and deserve to give it a shot. Out of huge backlog of games that I have played in this life of mine starting with a few from atari 2600 to today, this one holds a special space reserved for real true gems.
This is one of those gems. Play it.
Completely agree - almost wish I hadn't played the original, so I could have everything revealed to me for the first time in the HD era. To anyone who has never heard of this game, make yourself acquainted. To anyone who has heard of it, but never played it, take the plunge - for a measly 800 MS points, this is a total steal. Enjoy!

Agriculture Commissioner Seeks Answers For Rising Fuel and Food Prices
Bronson likened rising energy prices to the run up before the 1929 stock market crash and suggested oil companies may be behind a smear campaign trying to link the higher fuel and food prices to the production of ethanol.
"For those that are buying and selling and trading oil futures four to eleven times before that tanker ever lands at a port to process that oil you can bet none of them are losing money, on those transactions," said Bronson. "Every time those transactions take place the price of fuel for the average citizen of this state and this country goes up."
With rising diesel prices, consumers can expect even higher grocery bills in the coming months.
In reality, state officials, like Bronson have little investigative power. Previous investigations into high oil by the state have gone nowhere.

Not everyone has the money needed to replace or upgrade an ailing unit, and a furnace heating repair may be the only option open to you at this time. Take the time to consider how much the repairs will cost, as well as ways to make your old furnace last longer and how you can make inexpensive repairs to your house to lower your energy needs.
How Much Does Furnace Heating Repair Cost?
The list of things that can go wrong with your furnace can seem scary, and is too long to cover here. However, here are some furnace heating repairs usually too complicated for a do-it-yourself project:
- Condensation pump – $100 to $300
- Blower fan motor – $200 to $500
- Circuit board – $175 to $500
- Run Capacitor – $80 to $250
- Heat exchanger – $750 to $1,500
Remember, this is only a guide, and costs may vary depending on your state and the contractor that you hire. A service call fee from 30 to 200 dollars may also apply.
Can I do it Myself?
Often it is just too complicated for an uncertified individual to attempt a furnace or heating repair on his or her own. Often the broken part is hard to reach, and may require you to take apart nearly the entire unit. In addition, specialized tools may be required to finish the job properly. They can be an expensive, and you may only need to use them once. Don't forget the cautionary tale that was on the news recently about the man who got his arm stuck in his furnace for three days while attempting a simple repair.
Perform Routine Maintenance
Once a professional furnace heating repair contractor fixes your furnace, keeping it well maintained and clean will help keep further repairs at a minimum. The most important maintenance task is to change the filters frequently. Three months is the average, but the experts recommend every month during high use. Vacuum out the blower area and the fan at least one a season, if are in easy to reach. Make sure to check all gas or oil connections and the heat exchanger for dangerous leaks.
How else can I keep my Heating Bill Manageable?
You can give your house an energy check up to see where you may be losing heat. With a few inexpensive repairs, such as sealing your heat ducts with duct or foil tape and better insulation, sealing air leaks around doors and windows, and adding a programmable thermostat, your energy loss will be reduced. The less heat you lose, the less your furnace has to work to heat your home and as a result, the more money you save.
While a furnace heating repair will require a professional, regular maintenance can keep your recently repaired furnace in good working order for quite a while to come. It will also help you spot trouble before a breakdown occurs, as well as alert you to what could become a dangerous situation.

Record numbers of Londoners are already choosing to commute by boat along the capital's 'forgotten highway' from homes alongside the central section of the Thames. Three services an hour whisk commuters from Woolwich, in travel Zone 4, to Canary Wharf within 30 minutes, while London Bridge City Pier is a 40-minute commute by river run.
Beat the next Tube strike and join our tour of hot homes with easy river commutes, from Wandsworth to Woolwich.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Ceragon Networks Ltd., which makes equipment for wireless networks, said Monday that its second-quarter loss narrowed to $1 million as revenue rose 8 percent.
The Israeli company said it drew upon its credit facilities to provide working capital after it received "several large orders" from network operators in Latin America and Africa that have longer payment terms. The company called it a temporary issue.
U.S.-traded shares were off 30 cents, or 3.7 percent, to $7.90 in afternoon trading, after early changing hands as low as $7.65. The stock is near the low end of its 52-week range of $7.25 to $11.13.
The loss was 3 cents per share, compared with a year-ago loss of $17.4 million, or 48 cents per share.
The company said that excluding special items such as stock-based compensation and acquisition expenses, it would have earned 8 cents per share.
Revenue rose to $119.1 million from $110.4 million a year earlier.
Analysts, who usually exclude one-time items, expected earnings of 7 cents per share on revenue of $120.1 million, according to FactSet.
The company said that 31 percent of its revenue came from Latin America, 20 percent from Africa, 18 percent from Europe and 16 percent from India.

the hate is not a shock people go at him on twitter all the damn time
this is my feelings on him as well. and its times you can tell he wants to say something he shouldnt and your like "dont get your self fired"
He's not. Doesn't drink either.
Not surprised by the hate. He gets a lot of it on Twitter and he responds to it as well with a good portion being funny. He's actually intelligent unlike most ESPN personalities.
Bomani with Lebatard on thursdays..
He has a goofy voice but it's not like he's doing it for effect, that's his voice. Is that really a fair criticism?
I also get the sense that "trying too hard" is code for you being shamed by someone with a broader vocabulary who's more articulate than you'll ever be.

UK Tax
UK Tax Questions? Ask a UK Tax Advisor for answers ASAP
Hi.Take a look at the notes under "Applying 'Taper Relief' to gifts" here .The IHT nil-rate band is used first against gifts made in the seven years before death. Taper relief only applies to an excess of gifts over and above the IHT nil-rate band in box 3 of IHT400 Calculation so if the value of all the gifts made in the seven years before death was equal to or less than that figure (the one that goes in box 3 of IHT400 Calculation), there is no taper relief.Based on what you have told me, you have completed the form IHT403 accurately. The figure in box 7 of IHT403 goes into box 4 of IHT400 Calculation. The available nil-rate band from box 3 is then allocated to the gifts first.I hope this helps but let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks for your reply.
Give me a day to absorb it before I close down.
Why do they make life so bloody complicated?
Will be ticking the OK box.
The confirmation that I had filled in the Gifts boxes correctly was reassuring.
Therefore the errors made by the tax man in my favour (a few hundred pounds) are not my worry.
I don't have the stamina to revisit tax returns with HMRC, even when overcharged (within reason).
This subject cropped up because I revisited my mother's IHT return of 2010 to see how my heirs are to benefit from my prospective demise (not imminent).
Kind regards.

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder recently offered the team's coaching job to former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, AOL FanHouse reported.
A Redskins insider told FanHouse that Shanahan rebuffed Snyder's overture.
"Shanahan told the franchise there was little he could do in the middle of the season for them and that changing coaches during the season in the NFL rarely works," the Redskins insider told FanHouse's Thomas George.
The FanHouse story echoed a Fox Sports report last Sunday that said Snyder had approached Shanahan. Later in the week, former Bucs coach Jon Gruden distanced himself from the Redskins after the Washington Times reported Snyder might make a run at the current ESPN announcer.
The Redskins stripped head coach Jim Zorn of play-calling duties yesterday. The team is 2-4 this season, and lost to the previously winless Chiefs 14-6 on Sunday.
Sherm Lewis, brought in as an offensive consultant, will now call the plays. Zorn said Monday that Redskins management "strongly suggested" he relinquish the play-calling duties.
Pressure has been rising on Zorn for weeks. With the team's bye looming after next Monday's game against the Eagles, Snyder could still consider a coaching change.
FanHouse reported that the owner is considering secondary coach Jerry Gray as an interim replacement.
"We are trying to give Jim every chance to turn it around," the insider told FanHouse. "The move to Lewis is to take more off Jim's plate, especially the play-calling, because it is not working, and that is where Jim is spending much of his time. Now he can coach the entire team. Let's see where that gets us.'' -- Sean Leahy

Property companies have been given a lift by Goldman Sachs, in particular Land Securities.
Land Securities has climbed 20.5p to 684.5p after Goldman added the company's shares to its conviction buy list. As part of a note on the commercial property sector, Goldman said:
Rising demand for office space (particularly in Sweden and the UK, where our economists forecast robust GDP growth) at a time when new supply is limited is likely to lead to a strong recovery in prime office rents from 2011.
Less cyclical retail rents will likely lag as consumer challenges remain. We see more range-bound yields starting in 2010, resulting in divergent rental growth prospects across sectors being the key driver of capital values.
While an early rise in interest rates may reduce the attractiveness of current rental yields to new investors and increase financial distress for some owners, we see little impact on our view in general, assuming that such increases reflect stronger growth, and vice versa.
We add Land Securities to our conviction buy list given its exposure to London office rents, amplified through planned West End developments. We believe Land Securities shares offer good exposure to positive London office market trends at a relatively attractive valuation. While around 44% of the company's income-producing portfolio is London offices, its plan to launch three West End office developments to let in 2012 increases its leverage to this market. Our 12-month price target of 801p implies 21% potential upside.
Segro is 7.2p higher at 351.2p after Goldman moved from sell to neutral while British Land - where the bank has a netural rating with a 498p price target - is 12.4p better at 473.8p.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Following a perfect run through their nonconference slate, the Miami Hurricanes will open ACC play with a trip to Koskinen Stadium for a Thursday night showdown with No. 14 Duke. Kickoff for the match, set to be aired live on NSCAATV.com, is set for 7 p.m.
The Hurricanes (5-0-0) enter conference competition looking to extend the program's longest season-opening winning streak since 2008, when Miami began its campaign with seven straight victories.
"During preseason training, we stressed the importance of reaching our first goal – which was to finish 5-0 in the nonconference schedule," head coach Mary-Frances Monroe said. "They were successful in achieving that, and I know it's given our team a lot of confidence heading into ACC play."
Monroe and her staff expect the team's mindset from the preseason to carry over into a grueling conference schedule, where seven opponents were listed in the most recent TopDrawerSoccer.com Top 25 rankings.
"We always talk about 'competitive mentality' during training," Monroe said. "Those are two words we have used a ton. No matter where the ball is at, what we're doing tactically, if we're playing well or not, it's about that mentality to win the ball and be gritty."
The philosophy has already paid dividends for a Hurricanes offense connecting with rapid success. Miami's offense has collected 15 goals in its first five matches, including a team-leading six by junior forward Ashley Flinn, and has scored multiple goals in each victory to date.
"A lot more players are starting to score goals now," Monroe said. "Ashley is doing a great job of finishing her chances, and that's going to be even more important in our conference games. You're not going to get easy chances. When you do, you have to put them away."
And despite two overtime victories, and another win salvaged by a 90th-minute strike from Flinn, Miami has emerged from its nonconference schedule with a singular focus.
"We've been emphasizing the importance of taking the schedule one game at a time," Monroe said. "And even though we're starting our ACC schedule, it's important for them to still pay attention to the specific details. These are going to be the most competitive games of the year, and we have to be ready for them."
Monroe expects her team to prove a worthy competitor when it takes the Koskinen Stadium pitch Thursday at 7 p.m., and again in Winston-Salem for Sunday's matchup with No. 11 Wake Forest.
"We have to go in confident, play to our level and play to our capability," she said. "That's the most important thing. Why not go out and play these top teams? That's why these coaches and players came to Miami. Every opponent is going to be a challenge. We have to come in prepared and ready to fight."

NEW YORK (MainStreet) The inventor of pre-Alzheimer's EEG testing and the eForex trading platform has launched a biotech company poised to enlighten growers, physicians and consumers about the intricacies of cannabis seeds and strains.
"It's an organic extension of all technologies which we have been developing for more than 15 years in artificial intelligence, EEG and DNA," said Boris Goldstein, who launched PotBotics in October 2013. "We want to help patients get better consulting and advice when considering medical Marijuana."
A division of PotBotics, BrainBotics will license EEG hardware to doctors and give feedback through a centralized location.
"It's a helmet that helps physicians who prescribe marijuana to make better informed decisions through the EEG scanning of alpha brain waves of the patient," Goldstein told MainStreet. "The software reads the images that the helmet provides. Doctors can then use the information to prescribe a more specific strain of cannabis for different ailments."
Another division of the company is NanoPot, a DNA diagnostics service of cannabis seeds for the purpose of providing growers with customized grow plans that include irrigation, lighting and UV filters.

"There are hundreds of pot strains from hybrids, hydroponics and outdoor growing," said David Goldstein, director of communications with PotBotics. "Our clients will get a fully integrated growth plan that can raise their yield of cannabis by 20%."
PotBotics will be listed on the penny stock exchange in four to five months upon the completion of the acquisition of an existing medical company listed on the Over the Counter (OTC) Bulletin Board.
"There is added value in the medical company we are acquiring," said David Goldstein. "We are building a stronger management team with board members and investment bankers supporting this merger."
Ever the skeptic, penny stock trader and entrepreneur Timothy Sykes is leery.

Curtis Edward Mabry
The Sheriff's Office is notifying the public that a previously registered but un-assessed sex offender has now been assessed and assigned a risk level by the State of Arkansas. The Sheriff's Office has been informed that this offender has been designated as Risk Level 2 (moderate risk to re-offend) with community notification justified due to the age of the victim at the time the offense occurred.
NAME: CURTIS EDWARD MABRY a/k/a C. E. Hozak, Curtis Enkel-Mabry
HOME ADDRESS: 99 Broadview Cr., Lot #9 Salesville, Arkansas 72658
The offender was convicted of Child Molestation in the First Degree on 12/11/1991. This offense involved the offender engaging in sexual contact with an 11 year old female acquaintance while she was staying in his home.
This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public. This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders. Citizen abuse will not be tolerated. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notification.

William L. Riedel, 43, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of sexual conduct with a minor and child molestation. His former girlfriend, now 55, whose name is being withheld by The Arizona Republic to protect the victim's identity, was also booked Thursday on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a minor, and sexual and child abuse.
The girl is in the custody of the state Child Protective Services, Mesa police spokesman Detective Chris Arvayo said.
"Right now she is where she needs to be," Arvayo said, "but there is a long road ahead dealing with the fact that she was molested by her own mother."
Arvayo said Riedel worked as a former in-home family counselor for an agency in the Valley.
Anyone who knows where he worked should contact police at 480-644-2211.
"Our fear is he had contact with other children. It is our duty to let the public know and make sure there is no one else (victims)," Arvayo said.
Riedel told police he met the girl's mother at his Mesa apartment complex and "groomed" the mother to help him molest her daughter. Police believe the molestation by the couple occurred from January to March 2006.
Riedel purchased Ambien sleeping pills and had victim's mother tell her daughter to take them for her allergies, police records show. The mother told investigators that she was intoxicated when she took photographs while Riedel molested her daughter. She also told police she molested her daughter, but was "sorry."
Police began their investigation Wednesday after a 13-year-old classmate of the victim found images of the girl being molested by Riedel. Riedel was living with the woman, then his fiancée, and her daughter when the classmate found the photographs on a computer. He had been living there for about two months, court records show.
The mother confronted Riedel, told him to leave her house, and called police.
Police seized the computer and discovered "thousands" of child pornographic images, including photographs of Riedel and the victim's mother molesting her while the girl appeared to be unconscious or drugged.
One image on the computer's hard drive shows the victim's mother placing her breast into her daughter's mouth while the girl was drugged, police records show.
The images also include child pornography widely circulated on the Internet, Arvayo said.

Digest: Amtrak Updates High-Speed Rail Vision, What's Changed
By 2017, the fastest train in America will zip through Central New Jersey at 160 m.p.h. Upgrades to make that happen will be paid for, in part, by money returned by Florida when Gov. Rick Scott rejected that state's high-speed rail. Those and other tidbits--combined with loads of futuristic renderings--paint a hopeful vision for high-speed rail in the Northeast as laid out in a new report by Amtrak (PDF).
In two decades: New York to Philadelphia in 37 minutes. To D.C. or Boston in 94 minutes.
Amtrak released an update to a 2010 "vision" for building high-speed rail from Boston to Washington, D.C. that scales back the total cost, drops planned stations, and devotes much more attention to realistic, phased implementation. What this vision lacks in grandiosity, it makes up for in marketing savvy with flashy renderings and optimistic fiscal projections.
"It does seem to be more cognizant of the environment in which it is presented," said Robert Puentes Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. It is "perhaps less aspirational than the 2010 version and more rational in terms of roll out and execution." The document lays out a "stepped" approach to investments, starting small with things like more Acela rail cars.
Puentes called the approach, "iterative," a strategy en vogue in design circles -- just the type who clamor for a 220 m.p.h. transit option they can tote their bike on.
Compared to the 2010 document, this report has far more images, graphics and charts, and futuristic renderings of stations along with the spaceship-like new trains. The document talks a lot more about including stakeholders in decision making. New terminology is stressed. The new trains aren't just high-speed rail rolling stock, they are "NextGen HSR" trains. The roll out of the plan isn't just rolling out, or dropping from they sky, it's a "stair-step" approach, showing how Amtrak will procure what is needed when it's needed and deliver results along the way, not just in 2040 when everything is built.
Starting small makes practical sense in selling the idea. For instance, according to Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm, adding those extra cars on Acela trains will increase seating capacity by 40 percent. That will be done by 2015. The purchases are already in the works. Early, visible results will help sell the project.
So will cutting costs.
This updated vision is just as fast (220 m.p.h.) but it's cheaper: $151 billion, down from $169 billion. "A lot of it is pushing off some of the station development," explains Kulm. "We realized that some of the items we wanted to do, we should put off for the future."
This vision integrates two previous plans by the rail agency, the Master Plan and the high-speed rail Vision. "What we've done with this report today is combine the two, and integrate the two, and through the process find some cost savings."
Commuter rail is integrated far more significantly, and in the process, shifts some station construction costs and decision-making to local municipalities.
Likewise, the document takes into account the unlikelihood that states along the route will spend big to speed the process. Call that the legacy of N.J. Gov. Chris Christie's killing of the ARC tunnel.
The Gateway Tunnel (ARC's replacement), however, plays a big role in this new vision. One way Amtrak expects to lift top speeds from the current 130 m.p.h (let alone average speeds!) to 220 m.p.h. is by relieving congestion of commuter and freight trains that block the way.
There will be dedicated right-of-way added north of New York City, but to the south the bulk of the liberated corridor space will be from making New Jersey Transit commuter service more efficient through the Gateway program, which adds two tunnels under the Hudson River and four tracks between Newark, N.J. and an expanded New York Penn Station that will be connected to a new Moynihan Station (see slick rendering pics here).
N.J. Senator Frank Lautenberg issued a statement praising the inclusion of the Gateway Tunnel in this report, saying: "Amtrak will continue to have my full support as we move forward to revolutionize passenger rail travel in the Northeast." Amtrak funding reauthorization is looming in Congress and Lautenberg will be writing the legislation in the Senate. Expect generous funding proposals for infrastructure upgrades.
Amtrak's fiscal projections are more optimistic than in 2010, but it's not clear what formula was used to develop the new numbers. Amtrak has had record ridership in recent years, so that bodes well for a bolstered bottom line for future service.
All of it is aspirational anyway. There isn't a $151 billion pot of money to make this happen. The document is an argument for why there should be and it is a detailed plan for how it could come to be -- a transportation straw horse for political times hostile to megaprojects. But this is the megaproject of megaprojects -- with a mega reason to be completed according to Kulm, "This region is the economic powerhouse of the country, it's where the political capital is, the financial capital is… we can't afford to come to standstill," he said.
"The transportation network, roads, air, even the rails, are operating at or near capacity," he said. "Simply building and rebuilding what is there today is not going to be enough." Speed on the tracks means more people moving each day, each hour. So, he argues, the solution is: go faster.

Why Aren't Cooks Tipped? Chefs Discuss Wage Inequality In RestaurantsBy
Debate over the minimum wage and income disparity has created growing tension in the restaurant business about how to pay workers—namely, how to handle tips. America's culture of tipping servers—the standard is now 25 percent in some markets—means that waiters in upscale restaurants are making far more than those in the kitchen who prepare the food, according to a talk at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen.
The tipping system has been the target of some criticism recently, and some restaurants are trying to do away with it. A panel of restaurateurs and cooks featuring Barbara Lynch (of the Barbara Lynch Gruppo), Michael Chiarello (Coqueta, Bottega), Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto), and Danny Meyer (Union Square Hospitality Group) discussed problems with the current tip system at the event.
There's a need, Chiarello said, to balance pay better for talented young cooks making near minimum wage with some of his waiters who are now earning $90,000 a year, as tips can total $250 a night. The Seattle Times reported that in the first quarter of 2014, tips added an average of $31.50 an hour to a server's paycheck at at El Gaucho Hospitality. While servers are rewarded for exceptional service, cooks end up making less "to make their food great every time," Chiarello said.
Meyer—who tried to eliminate tipping years ago until his servers rejected the idea—pointed out that just as customers may unfairly penalize their servers with a bad tip if the food isn't satisfactory, they may also reward them when the food exceeds expectations—both things the waiter does not control. So the tips don't correlate with what's actually going on at the restaurant.
Recent state-level changes in the minimum wage (which will be $15 an hour in Seattle)—while benefiting untipped workers, for example, in fast food—are forcing restaurant owners to reconsider how all their workers are compensated. Chef Waxman said it doesn't make sense for a server in one market to earn a minimum of $15 an hour before tips, and one in another market to get $2.13, the federal minimum for tipped workers.
Here's a video of the event. The discussion about tips starts at 59:10.

At Vanmater's, the metalliferous clay marl is overlaid by a grayish sedimentary limestone.
The occurrence of this metal in the copper-bearing and other metalliferous rocks of this region, may be confidently affirmed.
In the same manner, from other mixtures of vitriolic and metalliferous material are made vitriol and metal.
Granite, porphyry, and limestone are found here, as in the other metalliferous regions.
In comparison, the metalliferous deposits are the merest incidents in the development of this great group of mineral resources.
On each side it has handles, which are held in the hands by whoever washes the metalliferous material.
They agitate the metalliferous material with wooden scrubbers and wash it in a similar way.
There was scarcely a mineral beneath the loamy soil which masked the metalliferous rock which they did not work.
The metalliferous limestone is covered to a certain thickness with a marly schist, and other more recent rocks.
Doubtless the plan is feasible, but the Indians are at present the sole owners and occupants of the metalliferous region.

Lets see, the most annoying one, that i'm sure every curly girl gets is. "You would look sooo pretty if you straightened your hair!" Really, why would you say that? I think I look absolutely fine the way I am. People try to act like its a compliment?
Another one is "its so poofy." I don't really need to hear that, your input is not needed. Just because your hair is as flat as piece of paper doesn't mean anythings wrong with mine.

Going to take a major effort from Dani & Jorge to finish in front of Marc this weekend.
Marc is consistently fast every session and race. Amazing to watch such a talented individual on a motorcycle.
