Gulf Oil Spill Updates
The humanitarian and environmental costs of disasters like the Gulf oil spill far exceed any effects such disasters might have on the gross domestic product. Economic data can't measure damage to quality of life. However, the spill is having some impact on the region's economy. The Atlanta Fed has created this Web page to track and assess these effects, much as it tracked the economic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Atlanta Fed's Research Department develops these updates from a variety of publicly available resources, revising them as events evolve.
The big picture
On April 20, 2010, an explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon oil rig and the resulting oil spill set off a chain of events that continues to have economic repercussions for the Gulf Coast. Determining the economic impact of the spill remains challenging due to numerous variables. Some of these variables are the amount of time before the leak is stopped, wind direction, water currents, amount of oil that reaches the coast and where it reaches the coast, effectiveness of dispersion efforts, efficiency of cleanup efforts on shore, and amount of BP and federal spending.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta continues to monitor the economic implications of the oil spill both by examining relevant data and by reaching out to business and community contacts through its Regional Economic Information Network (REIN).
To date, the oil spill remains a regional event; local communities are clearly suffering. The national economy, however, has not been affected. For the spill to have national implications, it would have to hit the energy and transportation sectors. It has not interrupted energy production nor has it affected shipping facilities.
In the long term, though, the oil spill could have profound effects. For example, the full environmental effects are not yet clear, nor is it clear if and how environmental damage will play through to the Gulf Coast economy. It is also not clear what type of longer-term energy policy changes may occur as a result.
Louisiana produces 1.4 million barrels per day of crude oil (2010 average to date), or 27 percent of all U.S. crude oil production. In addition, 6.1 million barrels per day of crude oil and petroleum products (2010 average to date) enter the country through the Gulf Coast, accounting for 48 percent of all U.S. crude and petroleum imports.
In the wake of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, crude oil input into Gulf Coast refineries fell by more than half. A similar decline occurred in 2008 with hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Both times, gasoline prices spiked as a result, but damage was quickly repaired and production/refining rebounded within a month.

When so little was going Joplin's way during the May 22 tornado that destroyed parts of the city, planning and a bit of good timing spared St. John's hospital from what might have been additional tragedy. In April, the Sisters of Mercy Health System, which includes St. John's Regional Medical Center destroyed in the storm, opened a state-of-the-art data center for mission critical applications and clinical data for its 28 acute care hospitals across a four-state region.

Latest Q&A
What can we do to get the County to take my neglectful neighbor's dog?Q:
We live part time in Lake Arrowhead CA, San Bernadino County 92352. Next door dog is left out in cold 24/7. Does have a room with food-water but door is left open. Night temps in the 20s. Dog is skinny and suffering. Reported to County over 3 times. They served notice to owner who each time manages to show up in time to talk his way out of it. He leaves dog for 3-5 consecutive days. Dog barks all day, most nights. What can we do to get County to take dog away?A:
I suggest contacting local humane societies and rescue groups to request their help. It is important in dog abuse and neglect situations to focus on the abuse and neglect, and not the dog barking. Also, attempting to purchase a neglected animal is another way to possibly save an animal from dire circumstances when law enforcement fails to act.

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography says there's a 50% chance that within the next decade the 2,080-megawatt Hoover Dam could receive too little water to produce power.
Growing demand for water in the West, combined with reduced runoff due to climate change, is causing a net deficit of nearly 1 million acre-feet of water per year throughout the Colorado River system, which feeds the dam.
Researchers at the institution say water levels in Lake Mead could fall too low for power production by 2017 and run completely dry by 2021.

I've been posting about this Hottie for quite some time. (Since August of 2008, to be exact.) Long before most of the websites online began to devote heavy attention to her, long before she donned the blue wig. I'm not going to toot my own horn or anything, as I've taken far too much shit about whether or not she belongs in the pantheon of Movie Hotties. But I will say that I told you so. And then you can say whatever the hell you want after that.
Katy Perry
With her second big album debuting this week, it seems like ages ago since Katy Hudson decided to change her name so as not to get confused with the daughter of Goldie, failed several times at her attempts to get a Christian recording career underway, ended up writing successful songs for other artists and then garnered attention for kissing girls in a manner which irritated most critics and anti-pop fans alike. And it's been even long since she was the fresh-faced blonde girl that she started off as, recreating herself and her future with a Bettie Page inspired do and layers of make-up dressed up in garish outfits.
But who really cares to look back into her history when you can focus on her present. Turning 26 on October 25th and preparing to give that body away to the unkempt British man who ekes out comedy with a sashay and toothy grin, most people are overlooking Katy's potential talent (or lack thereof) to concentrate on her famous curves.
Still, it would be remiss to not note that Perry has carved out a following of young people and famous people alike, grabbing the only female voice role in THE SMURFS movie, getting attention from the people at Pixar after she famously tweeted that she'd take any role they'd offer her, becoming the only thing worth watching at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, successfully hosting the 2010 Teen Choice Awards and doing it all with a blue wig that no one seems to be complaining about all that vocally. So sure, she's got the T&A and support from me.
But what do YOU think of Katy Perry?

Pressure switch
Can anyone tell me where the pressure switch on a Rheem furnace is located. I don't know what model I have. It looks like it was put in when the house was built in the early 90's. It is a hot surface ignition upflow furnace. Heat went out and from what I've gathered looking on the web is that it may be he pressure switch but I cannot locate it. I have an idea of what it looks like but I see nothing that resembles it when I open up my furnace. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Not to be a prick but if you can't find the pressure switch on a Rheem upflow you shouldn't be working on a furnace, call a pro.

Morocco tour reviews
Scoring an average traveller rating of 4.64 out of 5 based on 69 recent reviews — See All Morocco Reviews
This tour was outstanding! I have never joined a tour before, and was nervous as to how I would enjoy this mode of travel, and in the end I was very happy that I chose to go through Morocco this way. There is no way that I could have seen or done even half the things that I did had I gone on my own. We saw everything from the big cities to the small villages, and were able to interact with the communities we were taken through. The riats and hotels were gorgeous, and our hosts were very gracious.
As for our guide, Aziz was friendly, fun, highly organized, and just generally amazing. He kept up a running commentary about absolutely everything about his beautiful country, had answers for our never ending questions, kept us all laughing, tried to teach us some of the language, and managed to keep all his ducks in a row, even though we all had a tendency to take off in different directions at the same time, literally every time we got off the bus to explore. When I return to Morocco (and I will) I will request Aziz again. I couldn't imagine exploring his country without him - he knows Morocco (and apparently almost everyone in it) like the back of his hand.
Our driver Ali was kind, fun, a very safe driver, and he was an excellent team member for Aziz to keep us all safe and happy. I felt completely comfortable with this team all through Morocco.
I highly recommend Aziz and Ali, and I will not hesitate to take another tour with On the Go Tours.
Well done to the whole team!! Thank you for an amazing trip!"
This was my first time as a solo traveller and I was very nervous.
The tour guide spoke good English and explained fully what we would be doing each day, what we would need and also made stops so we could get more water or food.
Being travellers and English we would be drawn to the amazing things to buy and all the tour guides were very patient with us!
I've had an amazing time, so much to see and do on this trip.
I'm going to look at India maybe for my next trip!
Thank you On the Go Tours"
The tour was fantastic, and our guide Mostapha was such a gem. He was resourceful, fun, and knowledgeable. The whole experience was such a pleasure!"

Recommended places to visit in Morocco
Whether you're looking for an authentic desert experience, trekking opportunities or exotic cities, Morocco has something for everyone but there are a few destinations that should be on every first-time visit and here's our selection.
Chefchaouen - The Blue PearlView on map
Perched high up in the Rif Mountains, the picturesque city of Chefchaouen is renowned for its pretty blue-washed doors and buildings. The main square is the heart of the city and an absolute delight to explore with an 18th century Kasbah, central mosque, buzzing cafes and colourful market stalls. There's also a Jewish quarter that has a very different atmosphere to the main Arabic part of town.
Sahara Desert - Camp Under the StarsView on map
No trip to Morocco would be complete without a camel trek out into the vast Sahara Desert – and we mean it! Ride saddle-back across the towering Erg Chebbi sand dunes to a traditional Berber camp and enjoy an evening eating local food, listening to music and dancing around a camp fire before retiring for a night under the stars. If you only do one thing in Morocco, this is it!
Essaouira - Coastal RetreatView on map
Once the favourite haunt of legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and Orson Wells, Essaouria is the perfect spot to unwind, eat great seafood and watch the world go by. Originally encircled by the old walls of the medina, the town has grown since but it still easy to explore by foot. A long and wide sandy beach stretches out in front of the medina, with plenty of nearby cafes and terraces.
Fes - Imperial CityView on map
Step back in time in Fes, the oldest and largest medieval city in the world. In the medina you'll be greeted by a heady mix of aromas, sights and sounds where you can easily lose yourself and your senses. Wander the streets, see the pungent tanneries in action, chat with the locals, browse market stalls with a variety of wares and practise your bargaining skills.
Marrakech - Intoxicating CityView on map
A city brimming with character, you could easily lose track of time in Marrakech. The medina and market square of Djemaa el Fna are the beating heart of the old city, with narrows passageways lined with overflowing shops, crisscrossing alleyways with lively cafes and restaurants and a maze of covered markets rich in aromas, exotic sights and sounds.
Todra Gorge - Outdoor AdventureView on map
Formed millions of years ago, Todra Gorge snakes its way through the rugged High Atlas Mountain and is an incredibly dramatic sight to behold. With spectacular scenery, the ever changing colours of the rock faces and the hubbub of locals passing through it is the perfect place to stop for a while. Plus there's opportunity to go trekking, try rock climbing, horse riding and more outdoor pursuits.

Experience the Real Morocco
The aromas and sounds of ancient medinas and colourful souks in Marrakech will leave you spinning whilst the imperial cities of Fes and Meknes will leave you utterly enchanted. Iconic Casablanca preserves its Hispanic-Moorish influence whilst Chefchaouen captivates with its pretty blue buildings and mountain setting.
There's adventure in abundance on the hiking trails of the Atlas Mountains and the massive sand dunes of Erg Chebbi and the Sahara desert. The fortified city of Ait Benhaddou, famous for it's part in a number of famous movies is a real highlight and if you love the sea, Essaouira on the Atlantic coast is ideal to wile away a few days in.

Entry inhibitor
Vaginal gel blocks HIV but not enough to be scientific success
Candidate microbicide PRO 2000 cuts HIV transmission by 30 percent, falling just short of the one-third required to be deemed a success. But scientists say this trial offers proof that the concept of a vaginal gel to block HIV is possible. For the first time in over a decade of research, a vaginal gel called PRO 2000 has been show to cut HIV transmission by 30 percent. Principal investigator Professor Gita Ramjee described this as extremely hopeful at the simultaneous launch of the results in Durban and Montreal, Canada, yesterday (9 Feb). This is the first microbicide study in over a decade that shows promise. It suggests that we are on the right track and we will be able to develop a women-controlled product to prevent HIV in the future, said Ramjee, who heads HIV research at the Medical Research Council (MRC).
Radical AIDS drug set for launch in 2003
Roche Holding AG said on Wednesday it hoped to launch a revolutionary new AIDS drug in 2003, a drug that could save the lives of thousands of people who fail to respond to conventional therapy. T-20, being developed by the Swiss group and US biotech Trimeris, is the first of a new class of anti-HIV drugs called fusion inhibitors, which work by preventing the virus that causes AIDS from getting into the cells it attacks. William Burns, head of Roche's drug division, said Phase III trials on the product had just closed and a dossier seeking marketing approval would be filed with regulators in the second half of 2002, with launch likely in 2003. Roche Chairman Franz Humer said he expected T-20 to receive rapid approval, first in Europe and the United States, and later elsewhere around the world. Fighting a constantly mutating virus is one of the biggest challenges facing designers of AIDS drugs and T-20, which works by stopping HIV from fusing with human cells, represents a radical new approach. Current state-of-the-art combination therapies keep the virus at bay by attacking on three fronts at once, but some patients find that eventually they no longer work as the strain of HIV in their body evolves and outwits the drugs. Many HIV-infected patients are already clamouring for the new treatment - even though it must be given by injection rather than as a pill. (Source: Reuters, 15 August 2001)
Still No Vaccine, but Better Antiviral Drugs Are on the Way
In 1994, while searching for something that might work as a vaccine against HIV, Tom Matthews of Duke University, had stumbled upon a compound that blocked the AIDS virus from binding to, and thus infecting, healthy cells. It turns out that the compound Matthews identified doesn't work as an AIDS vaccine, but it may still make a very good AIDS drug. It belongs to a family of molecules known as entry inhibitors that, as the name suggests, prevent HIV's entry into healthy immune cells. While none are yet available in pharmacies, they are probably the most promising new class of anti-HIV drugs under review. It is already in the final stages of human testing with one compound and in the earliest phases of testing with a second. Entry inhibitors share an ability to thwart the virus outside the cell, before it has an opportunity to infect healthy immune cells. And that, some experts believe, may give them a better chance of dispatching HIV than the currently available antivirals, all of which work inside cells that have already been infected. This suggests that the new drugs might be effective at lower doses, making fusion inhibitors safer for the patient in the long run. Studies support this; so far, neither of its compounds seems to cause any of the serious toxic side effects associated with today's AIDS drugs, such as nausea, vomiting and abnormalities in fat metabolism.

Are You Ready for QE4?
Despite recently launching a third round of quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve is once again expected to announce another bond buying program this week. The additional easing would replace Operation Twist, an asset purchase program where the central bank sells short-term notes to purchase long-term notes. However, its replacement will likely be outright bond buying, as the Federal Reserve is running out of short-term notes to sell.
Only three months ago, the Federal Reserve decided to prove it is willing to do whatever it takes to prop up asset prices. Throwing savers under the printing press again, the Federal Open Market Committee launched QE3 in September, or QE-to-infinity-and-beyond, an open-ended program to buy agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion a month. There is no set limit to how long the fresh money printing will last, but Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank is looking for sustained improvement in the labor market, and a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy will remain even after an economic recovery strengthens. QE3 increased the Fed's long-term holdings to $85 billion each month, but $45 billion of that is scheduled to conclude at the end of this year with Operation Twist expiring.
With the market firmly fixed like a drug addict on quantitative easing, many believe the Federal Reserve will replace Operation Twist with another QE program, or more money printing. The FOMC meets this week, and will announce its decision on Wednesday. All signs point towards more QE. In the previous FOMC statement, released last month, the central bank explains, "Looking ahead, a number of participants indicated that additional asset purchases would likely be appropriate next year after the conclusion of the maturity extension program in order to achieve a substantial improvement in the labor market." John Williams, president of the San Francisco Fed, recently said, "A decision not to continue buying long-term Treasuries when Twist expires would be a surprise to markets and that would be counterproductive."
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet shows no signs of slowing down.
QE programs not only help to juice markets higher through dollar devaluation, they expand the Federal Reserve's balance sheet to record breaking levels. The central bank's balance sheet is already nearing $3 trillion and could hit $4 trillion by the end of 2013 if more QE is announced on Wednesday. Francisco Blanch, a global investment strategist with Bank of America, believes the Federal Reserve will maintain bond purchases until the end of 2014, a move that could send the central bank's balance sheet skyrocketing to $5 trillion.
The exploding balance sheet at the Federal Reserve will also make it extremely difficult, if not impossible for the central bank to exit its current monetary easing stance. "There is certainly an issue about unwinding the balance sheet that is effective and continues to support the recovery without creating inflation," explains James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, according to Bloomberg. JPMorgan Chase, a member on the board of directors at the New York Fed, estimates that a $40 billion QE program to replace Operation Twist will cause the Fed to be "effectively absorbing about 90 percent of net new dollar-denominated fixed-income assets."
Naturally, the Federal Reserve's massive presence in the market has caused many investors to become cautious. True safe havens such as gold and silver have outperformed the market over the past decade, as investors seek protection in an asset that can not be printed at will and has stood the test of time.

You can imagine going back outside to hear the loons.
At Home in a Brainerd Lakes Area Lakeshore Cabin
Are you old enough to remember that Ham's beer commercial that goes "From the land of sky blue waters…?" Sky blue waters. Why not buy some of the land? Why not live next to sky blue waters?" I don't think you can answer those last two questions very well. Distance is no excuse. You can get here in about 2-3 hours, depending upon how fast you drive and which part of the Twin Cities you live in. Gas Prices are not an excuse either; prices on lake homes and Brainerd Lakes area lakeshore can't get any better than they are right now. Besides, you will save a heckuva lot of gas because you are not hauling that great big boat around every weekend. If you buy here, you might just decide to live around here anyway. This market presents a once in a lifetime opportunity for many wanna-be lake home owners. Will it be a good investment? Just consider the fact that no more MN lakefront is being created. Supply is limited, while demand for lake homes is part of the Minnesota psyche.

I think my left rear wheel bearing/hub is bad. There's a noticeable groan coming from back there that's totally speed dependent and getting worse by the day. I noticed it a few months ago but figured it was normal since it wasn't getting worse (only I could hear it) but earlier this week, it got considerably louder such that even my kids asked what it was. It's definitely a wheel bearing rumble, no doubt about it.
Anyway, I'm only a month out of warranty and was wondering if anyone knew if the wheel bearings fall under the powertrain warranty instead? I contacted our friends at Cadillac here on the forum, but they weren't sure. I don't want to call the dealer until I have a little knowledge myself. I read the warranty book but it's kind of vague on what's included and I'm not sure if it's a wheel bearing or a hub or what.
Anyway, I'm guessing it's not a rare issue and perhaps someone else here has handled it in the past.

Next Saturday (25th February 2012), the inaugural Design Push will be held at the Cogapp offices in Brighton, UK. The intention of the event is to add some design thinking to how emerging web technologies will work and look. In the race to launch new features, the work on the user experience can occasionally be under-developed with some technologies presenting particular challenges.
The Design Push events will focus on a range of technologies, with an invited group of designers and technologists taking on these challenges. The aim is to create a set of useful deliverables on each issue, including recommendations, taskflows, design patterns and domain vocabularies. The idea is to assist those involved with particular technologies, by helping to drive forward the user experience design work.
I'll be participating at the first Design Push, where we will examine the use of Web Intents. Originally devised for use on Android mobile phones, they determine what action a user intends to perform with an object and how to carry it out. The object/action pairing could be, for example, editing a photo or a sharing a blog. With the huge number of services that may offer these actions, creating a simple and effective process for the user is not straight-forward.
I'm excited to be involved with this event and I would like to thank the organisers, web and UX luminaries Glenn Jones, Danny Hope and Andy Dennis, for inviting me. I look forward to working with an impressive array of experts (including people from Chrome, Mozilla, W3C and Add This) to try and help make the web a little bit more useful, usable and enjoyable.

Wooster High School could have a weighted grading system in place for next school year.
On Thursday night, the school board authorized Superintendent David Estrop to study the issue.
The resolution states that a report will be made to the school board by the May 2001 meeting, to allow for classes to be put in place, if that is what the board decides.
Curriculum director Don Shem presented some pros and cons about a weighted system.
Certainly a weighted system should promote more rigorous courses and attract students to those courses, but what you can end up with are parents and students who pay too much attention to the weighted game, tracking courses to the hundredth point in the race for valedictorian.
"Starting years back, parents can track the courses for the right combination. I call it Little League dad or cheerleader mom syndrome," Shem said.
In taking only the weighted courses, some students will steer away from electives, then as those elective courses drop in popularity, teachers of those courses will also ask for weighted versions, and the system can become staggering, Shem said.
However, more rigorous courses, on their face, seem to benefit students in the long run. Studies have shown the rigor of high school course work is a large determining factor in college success, Shem said.
Department heads have expressed a wide range of feelings on the topic to Shem, and he is looking for more -- from staff, students and parents.
The system is designed to not penalize students for taking more difficult classes. Earning a B in a tougher class would equal an A in an easier one. On the other hand, an A in a tougher class is worth more than an A in an easier one. Estrop said a downside to the system can be that academically competitive students stop taking elective courses because they are not "worth" as much in the grading system.
Board president Russ Welty said improving student performance must remain at the top of decisionmaking on the subject.
"I understand the value of valedictorian and other issues, but what we need to look at is the greatest impact on students. We need to assess the current grading system and compare it with something else we might have," he said.
Estrop agreed and said the process will go beyond opinions and do some benchmarking.
"We will not take our eye off the target, that is the focus -- improving student performance. We will be looking at other peer schools," he said. Answers about weighted grades will be compared with those schools' performances, and used as one criteria for moving forward with a program.
Estrop also said if a system is adopted, it will be a low-cost one, something treasurer Dave Denbow is "doing handsprings over. Maybe we'll need to modify some software, but there will be no major expenses involved with this," Estrop said.
Those wanting more information on the system or wanting to weigh in with their opinions should contact Estrop, Shem or high school principal Ken Ferguson.

A diet program that provides protein bars and shakes for weight lossTop Rated Diets of 2017
The OurSkinny diet program is one that claims to be the "easiest diet ever' with its easy-to-prepare protein shakes and on-the-go protein bars.
The program encourages dieters to drink four OurSkinny shakes - which come powdered and require 8 ounces of water - one 'mini meals' protein bar, and one healthy meal of the dieter's choice each day for weight loss. Dieters can also choose from a variety of other convenience products including smoothies, pastas and soups.
OurSkinny prides itself on having a simple weight loss philosophy that's succinct enough to fit inside a 12-page guide that each customer receives upon placing their order.
In addition to four shakes, one bar and one main meal a day, the initial phase of weight loss also includes one daily multi-vitamin and supplemental fiber, the fiber being optional.
OurSkinny products are bundled into three separate packages. The 1 Week option has one week of OurSkinny products, including 28 shakes and one box of high protein bars, and costs $70 plus shipping. The 2 Week option includes 56 shakes and two boxes of high protein bars and costs $140. And the 4 week option costs $280 and includes 98 shakes, four boxes of bars and two items from the company's 'mini meals' products, which range from smoothie mixes to pastas to soups.
OurSkinny is a program within the Ourlife company, which was founded in Savannah, Georgia, by a group of more than 40 doctors. Ourlife recommends that each person consult their personal physician before beginning the OurSkinny program to ensure it's a safe and healthy solution for weight loss.
OurSkinny is also poised to be safe for diabetics, but is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18 or women who are pregnant.
Do You Know the Best Diets of 2017?
- OurSkinny is a project of Ourlife, a company started by more than 40 doctors
- Bars and shakes are nutritionally sound and within a healthy calorie range
- Products are convenient and great for on-the-go
- Bars are extremely delicious
- Fairly affordable
- The bars and shakes may not be a healthy weight loss solution for everyone
- May be too low in calories for some people
- Bars are slightly high in saturated fat (~ 4 grams per bar)
The OurSkinny program advises dieters to consume four OurSkinny shakes, one 'mini meals' protein bar, and one healthy meal per day for healthy weight loss.
During the first phase of the program, it's also recommended to take a daily multivitamin and a fiber supplement, though the supplement is optional.
The OurSkinny shakes, which come in a variety of flavors including chocolate, lemon-raspberry and cappuccino, each contain about 100 calories, 1 g of fat, 7 g of carbohydrates, 4 g of sugar and 15 g of protein.
And the OurSkinny 'mini meal' protein bars, which come in 14 flavors including double peanut butter, caramel crunch and lemon meringue, each contain about 170 calories, 5 g of fat, 4 g of saturated fat, 2 g of dietary fiber, 8 g of sugar, 16 g of carbohydrates, and 15 grams of protein.
Once dieters reach their goal weight, the program encouragers dieters to use the OurSkinny resources for transitioning back into life without the shakes and bars. Ultimately, OurSkinny hopes to teach dieters about healthy, calorie-wise eating and how to maintain a well-balanced diet as part of a longterm solution for weight management.EXERCISE
Not applicableCONCLUSION
The OurSkinny program seeks to teach people about healthy eating by demonstrating that nutritious foods are not only an essential part of a well-balanced diet, but they taste good, too.
The OurSkinny bars and shakes are nutritionally sound products that provide high-quality protein and ample amounts of vitamins and nutrients in each serving.
Although it isn't healthy for anyone to maintain a diet of bars and shakes for long periods of time, OurSkinny products do make a healthy temporary weight loss solution and a great kickstart to weight loss efforts.
One dietitian, Shirley Grotheer, RD, was quoted on the company's website as saying, "Everybody is thrilled, because the thing is, it's not a fad diet. With OurSkinny, you are learning a heart-healthy approach to weight loss that you will continue once you've met your goal."
Overall, OurSkinny seems like a healthy option for those looking to achieve weight loss on a meal supplement program.Common Misspellings

Michael Ruhlman recommends the book An Edge in the Kitchen. It's a whole book about kitchen knives!
Chad Ward, a writer based in North Carolina, has written a handsome volume on knives and everything you might want to know about them, and about using them: An Edge in the Kitchen: How to buy them, keep them razor sharp and use them like a pro. It's not only filled with good info put together with a good design, the writing is lively as well ("The knives found in most commercial and home kitchens are like supermarket tomatoes--designed more for sturdiness than quality.").

GMAT Tip: Tackling Remainder Questions
The GMAT Tip of the Week is a weekly column that includes advice on taking the Graduate Management Admission Test, which is required for admission to most business schools. Every week an instructor from a top test-prep company will share suggestions for improving your GMAT score. This week's tip comes from Brent Hanneson, creator of GMAT Prep Now, a Web site offering on-demand videos that teach GMAT skills.
Consider the following question:
N is a positive integer. When N is divided by 13, the remainder is 5. When N is divided by 46, the remainder is 31. What is the smallest possible value of N?
Before we examine the solution to this question, I'd like to ask an easier question:
N is a positive integer. When N is divided by 7, the remainder is 3. What are three possible values of N?
Does your list include 3 as a possible value for N? It should since 3 is the smallest number that meets the given criteria (3 divided by 7 equals 0 with a remainder of 3).
When it comes to GMAT questions involving remainders, it's often useful to begin listing numbers that meet the given criteria. When it comes to listing possible values, we have a useful rule:
If N and D are positive integers, and if N divided by D is equal to Q with remainder R, then the possible values of N are: R, R+D, R+2D, R+3D,. . .
Example: When positive integer W is divided by 6, the remainder is 5. Given this information, the possible values of W are: 5, 5+6, 5+2(6), 5+3(6), 5+4(6), . . .
Upon simplification, we find that the possible values of W are: 5, 11, 17, 23, 29 and so on.
The important takeaway is that you can sometimes save yourself a lot of work by listing possible values and, more importantly, by including the smallest possible value in that list.
Now back to the original question:
N is a positive integer. When N is divided by 13, the remainder is 5. When N is divided by 46, the remainder is 31. What is the smallest possible value of N?
First, if N divided by 13 gives us a remainder of 5, the possible values of N are: 5, 18, 31, 44, 57 and so on.
Second, if N is divided by 46 gives us remainder 31, the possible values of N are: 31, … STOP.
Since both lists include 31, the answer to our original question must be 31.
So, when you encounter a GMAT remainder question, one approach may involve identifying possible values of a certain number. When identifying those values, it may be to your advantage to identify the smallest possible value.
Brent Hanneson, the creator of GMAT Prep Now, has worked in the field of education for most of his career. He has taught courses at three different test-prep companies and created comprehensive GMAT and GRE courseware packages used by the University of British Columbia and 12 other universities across North America.

A cool season grass used almost exclusively on golf course putting greens and fairways, creeping bentgrass is characterized by persistence under extremely low cutting heights and very dense, uniform, stoloniferous growth and rapid recuperation. It requires high input maintenance and expert management to cope with resulting diseases. Bentgrass is adapted to a wide range of climates yet is susceptible to many diseases, due to the stress levels under which it performs.
• Seeding rates: 1-2 lbs./1,000 sq. ft.
• Germination: 5-10 days
• Growth habit: Stolons
• Approx. seeds per lb: 6,000,000-7,000,000
• Blade: 1-2mm, pointed tip, flat, smooth
• Uses: Golf Greens, Tee, and Fairways
• Identification: Pointed tip leaf, flat and smooth in appearance. Lighter to very dark green color, vertical growth habit, dense growth habit, tolerates very low mowing.
• Establishment: Quick germination, aggressive to medium aggressive growth habit, vertical growth habit without tendency to thatch. Good spring green-up, color retention and wear tolerance. High maintenance quality turfgrass.
|Dominant Plus
|Dominant X-Treme 7
|Penn A-4
|PennEAgle II
|Pennlinks II
High Density Creeping Types
These varieties have highest shoot density with range of 2,200-2,600 shoots per decimeter2. These are best adapted to golf course greens, croquet, tennis courts and bowling tops.They often require frequent top dressing and mowing and prefer low mowing heights of 125,000ths or less.
Penncross Creeping
Expensive to produce seed due to parent production field established vegetatively. Open type with 1,000-1,100 shoots per decimeter2. Continues to be used regardless of age and
lack of improvements. Penncross requires high levels of nitrogen which results in high thatch production and reduced disease resistance.
Dry-Arid Creeping Climate Types
Developed from germplasm collected from dry arid regions of the western US.All have high shoot density ranging from 1,400-1,600 shoots per decimeter2.These varieties are very susceptible to dollar spot but have excellent turf quality and have been used successfully around the world.
Highland Dryland Types
Highland Dryland bentgrass Agrostis castellana has been incorrectly referred to as a colonial bentgrass. It has large robust stolons which under low height of cut and infrequent mowing produce unacceptable "false crowning" in manicured turf. Highland continues to be used for low cost roadside and utility turf situations.
Colonial Bentgrass
Compared to creepers, colonials are more upright with a weaker lateral growth habit. It has better wear tolerance at high height of cut (fairways) and is typically brighter green, maintains better color in cool weather, has better resistance to dollar spot, but is more susceptible to brown patch than creeping bentgrass.
Velvet Bentgrass
Velvet bentgrass is the densest of the bents used for turf and tends to have better shade tolerance than creeping or colonial bentgrass. Compared to creepers, velvet has a brighter green color, better dollar spot and brown patch resistance, and less prone to localized dry spot.

This may or may not be well received, but hear me out on this.
I was reading the USA Today the other day as I was eating breakfast at the hotel in Sacramento, CA. In the bottom left corner of the front page, I saw the below snapshot. I took a picture of it with my Blackberry camera (which is basically a terrible camera). Take a minute to look at the statistic that is shared.
The USA Today Snapshot shares the statistics of "Percentage of U.S. Births To Unmarried Women", and I believe it is a very telling statistic as to why so many Americans are struggling financially.
Of course, one statistic does not tell the entire story. We are not told how many of these children are being fully supported by their fathers. We do not know how many families are living together, but are unmarried. What we do know as financial coaches and teachers is that single moms are the number one group of people that we see struggling financially.
For single moms, the struggle is not just financial. It is also extremely emotional, spiritual, and time-consuming.
Instead of two people to carry the financial load, many times the single mom has to carry it because the father fails to fulfill his obligation to pay child support.
Instead of two people to carry the emotional load of being a parent, one parent has to carry it – usually the single mom.
Instead of two people to take the child to the doctor, to school, to dance class, to football practice, it is done by one of the parents – usually the single mom. This is all done in addition to their daily work.
We are passionate about helping people accomplish far more than they ever thought possible. The task becomes much greater when we encounter this situation.

New to the site
Hey guys, I just wanted to take some time to introduce myself. My name is Jimmy. I am 24 years old and I own a 98 ZJ Laredo with 3.5" rancho lift and 31" bfgs. 10" Anzo light bar. I am born and raised in Las Vegas.
I prefer the mud, but I am interested in turning my jeep into an expedition rig, but money will determine when.
Re: New to the site
You're pretty much there if you're looking to build an expo rig. Small lift/tires are kinda the thing with that type "wheelin". All the hardcore Expo guys will probably say get a 12V fridge for extended periods in the backcountry. I went cheap & just adjusted my gear to fit longer stays/more comfort, instead of broken parts. Welcome & enjoy the site!
Re: New to the site
Welcome to JG! Good luck with the expo project.

Meet One of the Creators Behind the UF Bat Houses
NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA - Tonight we are meeting one of the creators behind the bat houses at the University of Florida.
The houses hold thousands of bats and and a single bat can eat a thousand flying insects an hour at night.
Enter biologust Steve Barlow - he helped the University of Florida design the bat houses they use today to make them the best they could for bats...and to make them easy to build.
Steve Barlow, one of UF bat house creators: "Really unique wildlife viewing opportunity, the one we have on campus the huge bat house there you know its a great thing for folks to come out and watch the bats out there, a very unique wildlife viewing opportunity and a great educational tool."
The original bat houses at UF were built in the early 90's and have since been reconstructed, the design for the bats improving with each construction.

The San Francisco Treat:
Damien Hobgood said "I've never seen a beachbreak that good in my whole life." Josh Kerr, Damien Fahrenfort, Ricky Whitlock, Taylor Knox and most Ocean Beach locals agreed. For four days straight, a long-period Northwest swell was met with offshore winds as it unloaded on San Francisco's fickle beachie. Lines stacked for miles out the back. Peaks teepeed and exploded from Kelly's Cove to South Sloat. Down the road they ran the Mav's contest and just off Noriega St. Mike Parsons broke his neck. And with the Giants fresh off a World Series win and the 49ers en route to the Super Bowl, it was a busy time in Bay Area sports.
Teahupo'o Goes XXL:
Dave Wassel said Teahupo'o on May 13 was "the most dangerous, chaotic scene the ocean has ever seen." And he's right. The swell that descended upon the End of the Road that day was the most awe-inspiring in recent memory. Laird Hamilton towed Koa Rothman into arguably the biggest wave ever ridden out there. RED Cameras were lost and inexperienced Hollywood shooters found themselves swimming for their lives after being thrown from the "safety" of their boat. Makua Rothman was sent face first into the reef and countless others endured the beatings of their lives. To this day, reliving the photo and video evidence from May 13 makes you wonder how in the world no one lost their life. And it also begs the question: What's going to happen next time?
The Loneliest Reunion Island:
In the last 2 ½ years, there have been nine shark attacks with five resulting in fatalities on Reunion Island. Those are terrifying numbers. Most victims were surfing when it happened, or on vacation swimming, or on a honeymoon, or in front of their mother. Subsequently, because of the attacks, the Reunion Island (tourist-based) economy is crumbling, with empty hotels, cafes and even emptier beaches. The problem has gotten so out of hand, that this year an island-wide ban on surfing and other watersports was put into effect on Reunion, following a 90-shark cull (extermination). Meanwhile in the US, swimming with sharks and a GoPro has become the hottest thing since Dumpster D's.
TransWorld SURF gets shutdown:
On May 20, 2013, GrindMedia (the parent company of SURFING and SURFER, amongst others) acquired TransWorld Media and all the TransWorld titles. One month later the powers that be decided the market couldn't support three surf magazines and closed TransWorld SURF's doors after 14 years in business. It was cited as a "financial decision" and was a tough pill to swallow for staff, readers, writers, surfers and photographers alike. Losing the magazine is an unfortunate byproduct of the times.
Nathan Florence and Tony Heff Win Steep and Deep Pipeline Photo Challenge:
It's become an annual grassroots contest that every Pipe surfer looks forward to. Held in memory of Sion Milosky, the Steep and Deep Pipeline Photo Challenge awards the surfer and photographer that link up for the best Pipe/Backdoor shot of the season. Last year, according to a panel of Pipe specialists and photography experts, that shot was of Nathan Florence, taken by Tony Heff. They each got $2,500 from Vans and a framed print of their image. With all the crazy Pipe days already this season, it's tough to imagine how a winner will be chosen in 2014.
Anastasia Ashley Serves Easter Hams:
And they were cooked to perfection. In 2013, popular culture was introduced to a dance move that is a seductive as it is spastic. Twerking's the name, and Anastasia Ashley was the dame who built the unlikely bridge between the surf and the twerk. As she readied herself for heats at Oceanside's Supergirl Pro, Anastasia twerked and she twerked and she twerked. Her efforts earned her a respectable six million hits on YouTube, and an Easter dinner that anyone can enjoy.
Kelly Slater Dominates At The Volcom Fiji Pro:
20 years removed from his first world championship — and at 41-years old — Slater's performance in Fiji this year may have been the finest of his career. He racked up three 10-point rides over the span of three heats at perfect Cloudbreak on the final day and was clearly surfing on another level. Joel Parkinson said after the event; "He had that look in his eyes, you just new he couldn't be beaten that day. You knew after his perfect 20 heat against Seabass in the quarters he was going to win that contest." Slater's other two victories on tour this year — at firing Kirra and at flawless Pipe — prove that these days Kelly goes as the waves on tour do. In heavy or perfect surf he's clearly still the world's best and his performance in Fiji was just another reminder.
John John Florence Wins Alley-Oops:
It was the most wow moment of the year. At the Oakley Pro Bali, John John Florence stuck the biggest air ever done in competition. It was a fully rotated alley-oop that was maybe 5, or 6, or infinity feet high. The crowd on the beach exploded and it is rumored that Ben Dunn, whom was watching the webcast slammed his Dell computer shut, spilt his glass of orange juice and proclaimed, "I don't believe in witchcraft!" And you may call John a dreamer, but he's not the only one. Since that fateful 'oop, both Felipe Toledo and Julian Wilson have mimicked the massive spin in a jersey — but neither of them hold a glass of freshly squeezed Ben Dunn OJ to Long John Florence's.
Trevor Moran Wins Follow The Light:
Surf magazines are about the photos and Follow The Light is the go-to route for surf photographers to burst into the big leagues. The track record for those winners is studded with stars. Chris Burkard, Todd, Glaser, Ray Collins, Morgan Maassen and Duncan Macfarlane have all won, and have since become staple photographers in the industry. Not only did Trevor Moran win 2013's Follow the Light, he did it coming from Ocean City, NJ — a clear subject disadvantage to all other finalists he was matched against. Look to see much more from the man they call "Tall Teef" as he'll be following the ASP tour around the world in 2014.
Jamie O'Brien VS Ricardo Dos Santos:
1969 was the summer of love and don't you dare forget it. 2013, however, was not the summer of love and a reminder came in the form of a mid-wave fisticuff. During the trials of the Billabong Pro Tahiti, Jamie O'Brien and Ricardo Dos Santos both took off on a wave in the dying seconds of a heat. In an act of frustration, it is alleged that James punched Big Rick in the mouth. Neither photo nor video ever surfaced from the incident, possibly due to embarrassment from both surfers, or possibly due to Willian Cardoso eating them for breakfast one morn alongside a warm glass of Tahitian whole milk because he thought they may have been indigenous fruits.
The Shittiest Riot In History:
In 1986s, during Huntington Beach's OP Pro, the fans went mad and totally rioted. They burned a police car and punched the lights out of each other and lost their minds. Helicopter footage looked wild. In 2013, during Huntington Beach's Vans US Open of Surfing, the fans became slightly agitated and crafted the shittiest riot in the history of riots. They pushed over a port-a-potty. They yelled swears. Someone stole a bike. It was an embarrassment to both 1986 and also surf in general.
John John Drops Hammers:
Five times in 2013, the surf world was put on hold for a day as John John Florence and Blake Kueny rolled out the highest quality online edits ever seen. From Departure Delayed to & Again, all were free for the world to view. Feelings from watching these included: joy, shock, depression, confusion, anxiety, excitement, disbelief… etc. One feeling that was never experienced though, was disappointment. The greatest accomplishment of all is re-setting the bar as high as John and Blake did. They just keep getting better, or everyone else is getting worse.
Cam vs. Dane:
We were all asleep before Lower Trestles' Hurley Pro and then came Cam. Cam Richards from Garden City Beach, South Carolina lit up the internet as he took on Dane Reynolds in an internet vote to be included in the draw. Cam who? Richards! He enlisted Will Smith's son and a slew of other celebrities to drive his numbers through the roof. More importantly, he made Dane Reynolds care. Dane had never cared before but, thanks to Cam, he created an Instagram account and begged his friends to work for him. And boy did his friends ever work. Dane made it into the event and, though he performed poorly. But his Instagram account is still amazing.
Nazare Grand Canyon:
In late October Nazare Canyon reared its ugly head again. That ugly head with surprisingly soft features. And while world-record cries by the media were premature and likely inaccurate, Carlos Burle did ride a giant wave. Maya Gabeira did too. Then she fell, then she drowned. Carlos rescued her and brought her back to life and for that, rather than riding a big wave, he is a hero. And Maya proves once again that she is among the most resilient and hardheaded surfers around, male or female. And so cute, too.
The Encyclopedia of Surfing:
The online surf world is vast and difficult to navigate. Where does one go to find information on, say, Carlos Dogny, founder of Club Waikiki and the father of Peruvian surfing? Or Chas Smith, author and provocateur? Last year one dug around and hoped to stumble on something interesting. This year one goes to the online Encyclopedia of Surfing. It is vast. It is, "both the old and new testaments of surfing" according to the Los Angeles Times. One can find anything there. Anything at all. God bless Matt Warshaw for creating this masterpiece. God bless us all.
Carissa Moore, 2X World Champ:
While Mick Fanning had the kind of consistency that'd make any surf coach go from 6 to midnight, there was another surfer in 2013 with even better digits. 2X womens world champ Carissa Moore won four out of the eight events, with three 3rds and a 5th to boot, clenching her second title in the last three years at Cascais, Portugal. With someone thrilling back-and-forths between her and Aussie nemesis Tyler Wright, the bubbly Hawaiian princess prevailed with her patented frontside hacks and relentless competitive momentum.
Point Of View Takeover
The GoPro has grown exponentially into something so big and so common, that we can forget about it ever leaving our peripheral. The fact that the owner advertises himself over Kelly Slater and Alana Blanchard, yet still flourishes, is a sign of true domination. The reasoni behind this madness? Everyone wants to see themselves perform — from a beginner aiming down the line on a two-footer to Shane Dorian aiming at exiting a 30-foot barrel at Jaws. People eat it up and double-tap their phones all day. Word on the street is the ASP might even start requiring it on surfer's boards in 2014. On another note, we predict 2014 will be the year defined by GoPro drones. It's already in the works.
Buttons RIPped:
The inimitable, afro-ed and ever-smiling Buttons Kaluhiokalani passed away from lung cancer on November 2, 2013. Known as the father of modern day surfing to most of the world, and simply Uncle to the rest, Buttons led the charge in above the lip surfing, 360 degree maneuvers and outstanding switch-stanced shredding, bridging the gap between the classic and the radical. However, beyond his phenomenal talent and 'fro, Buttons brought a certain spontaneity, flare and don't-give-a-fuckedness to surfing that defined why we keep jumping in the water. Buttons' style was a surfing that will forever define fun.
Big-Wave Safety:
With surfers pushing things as hard as they are in big waves, safety is as discussed as the swell forecast these days. Inflatable vests, comprehensive action plans, individualized rescue teams — it's becoming the norm. Still, we're not quite there. On November 13 of this year, Kirk Passmore drowned while surfing one of Oahu's outer reefs. While competent Jet Ski rescue attempts were made, Kirk was not wearing flotation and his body was never found. A week later, the third annual Big Wave Safety Summit was held on the North Shore. Over 60 surfers spent two days in the classroom and on the water learning proper preparation and rescue techniques from Brian Keaulana. The idea is catching on and a summit in Northern California is currently in the works.
Mick Fanning Holds On To Win His 3rd World Title at Pipeline:
Over the course of 12 months and 10 ASP World Tour events in 10 different corners of the world, Mick Fanning surfed his way into two finals (winning one, the Quiksilver Pro France), four semis and three quarters in a myriad of conditions. The old adage, "It's a marathon, not a race" rings true regarding the ASP's point system; and Mick's freakish consistency went unmatched in 2013. We can argue the merits of his 9.7 against Yadin Nicol at Pipeline in the quarters — a controversial world title sealing score — until we're blue in the face. But we cannot argue the fact that Mick Fanning is a 3-time world champion and a very deserving one at that.
Kelly Wins Pipe Masters, Take 7:
This was Kelly Slater's year, but it was only his year part-time. With three wins under that wizard sleeve of his, Kelly was the only surfer to claim more than one event on 2013's 'CT. That lucky number three came at the Banzai Pipeline, and vividly so. In a battle of old and new, bald and blonde, regular and… regular, Kelly defeated John John Florence in the final. It was an event that was cherished for the best waves that the Pipe Masters has seen in years. We'll be seeing you next year, Slates.

looks cool saveme
Writers in the 760 pm me.
thanks save me, i appreciate it dude
EVO have ur letters more the same size, keep filling up paper with little tags all over the place
6i90, u should have had the A a normal A, looking better then before though keep practicing
says hebo
Looks like you tried to either tried to blend the R in with the O, or you seizured the R into a flare.
A beginning rule in this shit is not to fuck with connections just yet. Save that for when your flow's matured...
For now, I suggest working towards a better flow; that flare on either the R, or the O shows me how contained your flow is.
Your shit's a bit forced is what I'm sayin' really. Perhaps not your style, but your execution; it gives off an air that exhibits that you're trying too hard.
Like, you were so busy trying to floss that you forgot to keep the H alligned with the rest of the letters.
Keep your letters alligned as if your tag's inbetween two parrell lines. Make sure not to let a letter lean, unless the rest of letters are leaning in the same manner.
