Former President Bill Clinton spoke, and when one says he spoke, it is meant to convey he spoke and spoke and spoke about his desire to ensure Mitt Romney never becomes president of the United States of America. He correctly presented a case that Barack Obama inherited a collapsing economy which was impossible to correct in a few months, let alone a few years. Clinton pointed out that Obama took over an economy that was losing 700,000 jobs a month. Sorry, Mitt, cutting taxes would not have shifted the 700,000 lost into a 700,000 gained column.
The Clinton story concerning what happened in 2009 and 2010 was clearly presented. Ironically, after four years, President Obama still has not been able to explain what Clinton did in an hour. The Clinton speech once again vividly offered a contrast in presidential styles, one speaks clearly, offers examples that anyone could grasp and ensures listeners understand about problems and solutions. On the other hand, Barack Obama will not lower his high standards of oratory in order to clarify for the ignorant masses what happened and what is needed. We witnessed not only a contrast in oratory, but a contrast in leadership.
It is common knowledge in Washington D.C. that Obama does not return phone calls to members of Congress, does not express thanks for those who help his presidency, and remains enclosed in a world of Chicago friends. He might spend some time with Bill Clinton and learn how to lead a nation!

Several websites are reporting that the following video (posted by YouTuber Jean-Louis Nguyen) shows off the Google Chromebook Pixel, a new touch-screen notebook with 4 million pixels.
According to the YouTube description, the concept video shows a screen with 2,560 by 1,700 resolution, and was produced by the "Slinky.Me" agency. A check of their website shows a notice that "all our servers were attacked by hackers."

Meanwhile, TechCrunch is reporting that the CEO of Slinky.Me, Victor Koch, "issued a public apology (and tagged Google co-founder Sergey Brin) on his Google+ account for the video's sudden exposure.
While the original video was taken down by YouTube, others have popped up, so watch the video while you can before YouTube starts taking them down.
Of course, we'll find out when Google I/O happens in a few months whether this notebook (and the video) is real or not.

The Contest Director of the European Advanced Aerobatic Championships, Stano Bajzik, in cooperation with Jury President Jiri Kobrle have announced that four "Free Unknown" sequences have been published for pilots to fly beginning tomorrow, 12 August, in Radom, Poland. The "Free Unknown" concept is new to Power aerobatics this year. Figures are selected by Teams, as in the past, but then sequences can then be submitted to the Jury, checked and published. Pilots can then choose from the available Free Unknowns. The four EAAC Free Unknowns are available below as attachments for download in PDF. EAAC pilots and officials have the day off today due to weather conditions in Poland.
Aresti Cup Presented
Wednesday, 12 August 2009 02:38
The 25th World Aerobatic Championships were completed on 29 August 2009 in Silverstone, United Kingdom and over 60 pilots competed to win aerobatics' most important award, the Aresti Cup. The Aresti Cup, donated by Col. Jose L. Aresti of Spain to the FAI in the 1960's, is presented to the World Aerobatic Champion. The trophy was first awarded in 1964 to Tomas Castaňo of Spain. Not only the most prestigious award given in competition, the Aresti Cup is also a work of art --- created in silver with gold embellishments and featuring gold coins around its diameter symbolizing member nations of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. The trophy is topped with a golden globe which featured Col. Aresti's favorite aircraft, the Bücker Jungmeister, but which has now been lost to time. The names of past Champions are engraved around the base of the trophy. Jose L. Aresti (shown right with the Cup) was the creator and author of the "Aresti Aerocryptographic System", still in use today in all aerobatic competitions. The Cup was presented to the new 2009 World Aerobatic Champion, Renaud Ecalle of France during closing ceremonies at Silverstone on the evening of 29 August 2009. See the "President's Page" for daily accounts of what took place at WAC.

World Elite Aerobatic Formula in Romania
Saturday, 08 August 2009 03:40
The second World Elite Aerobatic Formula was flown in Romania on July 11th. The first event was held in January 2008 in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates and was the first test of a new set of rules for aerobatic competition designed by Jurgis Kairys of Lithuania. This year's event in Romania was called the "Mamaia World Elite Aerobatic Formula" as it was held at the coastal resort of Mamaia before a large crowd of spectators along the beach. Eight pilots flew for a board of three judges or "scorers". Chief Judge was Quintin Hawthorne of South Africa. The pilots were Castor Fantoba (ESP), Svetlana Kapanina (RUS), Zoltan Veres (HUN), Renaud Ecalle (FRA), Pierre Marmy (SUI), Hubie Tolson (USA), Philipp Steinbach (GER), and Tom Cassells (GBR). Most of these pilots are going on to compete in the World Aerobatic Championships in Silverstone, UK, in mid-August. The WEAF consists of two flights -- the first called "Aerobatics Against Time (AAT)" and the second "Aerobatics Freestyle (AF)". Details on the rules for the event can be found at www.aerobaticformula.com along with a superb gallery of photos and videos of the Mamaia competition. Winner was Castor Fantoba of Spain flying the Sukhoi. Castor is an airline pilot, Captain on the Boeing 757, an airshow performer, and member of the Spanish Aerobatic Team. This event is tough and demanding but has great spectator appeal as well and as proven in Romania. More WEAF competitions are planned for the future and are sanctioned by the FAI Aerobatics Commission (CIVA) as Second Category competitions.

The Darius & Girėnas Trophy
Saturday, 11 July 2009 00:39
From time to time, information on the beautiful trophies that CIVA presents at our various FAI Aerobatic Championships will be featured on the website. This will bring attention to these magnificent awards and their importance in the world of aerobatics. We present today the Darius & Girėnas Trophy. The Darius & Girėnas Trophy is presented to the winning Men's Team at the European Aerobatic Championships each two years. The trophy was donated by Lithuania in 2003. The trophy has been won by the Russian Team every year since its inception (2004, 2006, and 2008). The award is named after two famous Lithuanian flyers, Stephen Darius and Stanley Girėnas. In July 1933, these pilots attempted a non-stop flight between New York City and Kaunas, Lithuania flying their Bellanca CH-300 "Pacemaker" which they had named "Lituanica". Tragically, the flight ended in a crash near Rosenthal, Germany in Pomerania (now Rozansko) just 404 miles short of their goal. They had flown 3,984 miles in 37 hours, 11 minutes. These brave pilots remain among Lithuania's greatest aviation heroes to this day.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit confused by an event today and am looking for some advice from other Mamas that have been there.
A little background : We have a 21 month old boy who has what we suspect is a leaky gut. He cannot digest some fruits and veggies. Has never had a problem with raw dairy, meat, butter, or eggs. When he's given grains after about a week or so he'll get sick, sometimes just a runny nose, in the past, prior to diet changes it would be a virus with a high fever. He also has Early Childhood Cavities stemming from his gut issues. A month ago we made some changes in his diet, added some great supplements and his teeth are already getting better, plus he's gained 2 pounds in 4 weeks and has become an extremely talkative outgoing little boy.
Today we had an incident with fruit. He's always loved strawberries. Unfortunately, they come out in pieces in his diaper, so he has trouble digesting them. Saturday my husband brought home a bunch, and little guy ate A BUNCH. Next day he had funny poop and diaper rash. He had a a few more on Sunday. None Monday or Tuesday. Three Wednesday evening (last night, from a different store ) and a kiwi, a few this afternoon. He's breastfed and I also had some. This evening he asked for another one and I washed it and gave it to him and he ate it. I peeled a kiwi and gave that to him right after he finished the strawberry. The child will normally eat a kiwi very quickly, but I noticed he took his first night gingerly. About a minute later he started saying "Mommy, mouth! Mouth!". I thought he bit his tongue, so I kissed him and went about my business. He kept saying it and started rubbing all around his mouth and was putting his hand in his mouth. I looked closer and saw a rash had formed all around his mouth, tiny little raised red bumps. It was also starting to form under one of his eyes, but faintly. I pulled back his lower lip and saw the same bumps all inside his lip. I gave him some Benadryl and fairly soon it got much better and almost went away. We've never seen anything like this with him before.
So ladies, do you think this is a true allergic reaction or a contact dermatitis thing? In your experience, do little ones who have allergies to strawberries have allergies to other things too? Allergy testing really isn't an option for us right now. Our insurance is major medical only and our budget very tight.
The way I understand it, if Benadryl makes it go away, you have confirmation that it was an allergic reaction. If you can't do testing right now, you could try avoiding strawberries for two+ weeks, and if he stays rash-free try a small amount as a challenge.
What she said.
The current line for allergic reactions for fruits is that it is a "cross reaction" and connected to another allergen that the body mistakes the fruit for. Who knows if this theory will stand up to the course of decades and remain the accepted truth? Allergies are poorly understood in many ways. IgE responses are supposed to be against proteins in food, pollen and spores, yet fruit has very little protein, so how can people get reactions? Well, cross reactions, of course. I'll buy it for now, but it still seems like an incomplete theory to me.
Well, that said, I don't know the complimentary allergen for strawberries. (Blueberries is ragweed pollen). But I do know that strawberry and kiwi reactions very often go hand in hand. I think they must have very similar constituents.

OPS Mobile
A unique, highly educational one-day conference focused on operational excellence in mobile advertising.
About OPS: Mobile
"Extremely useful, if there was only one event I could attend it would be AdMonsters."
The landscape for online advertising is no longer just the 'terrestrial' or PC-based internet – it now includes a much broader and more complex world including smartphones, tablets, networked game consoles, connected TV's, and all sorts of other connected devices, many of which are not plugged in and tied down but carried around in pockets and used throughout the day.
As Mary Meeker put it at Web 2.0 Summit 2010, the mobile internet is "ramping faster than any other new new thing", and smartphone sales are projected exceed PC sales by 2012. This explosion of internet devices is exciting – but it also means that delivering and making a profit from online advertising is getting far more complicated. Delivery and targeting, not to mention media types and device capabilities vary widely across devices, and each platform, carrier, and marketplace presents its own challenges and opportunities for ops.
OPS: Mobile will bring digital advertising leaders and ops professionals together to discuss and develop best practices for operational excellence in a world of connected devices. If your business is built around mobile media, you cannot afford to miss OPS: Mobile.

The agenda for OPS: Mobile will focus on the exchange of ideas, experiences, best practices, emerging trends in the field and expert-led sessions covering an array of topics specific to ad operations and technology for the mobile internet. Typical attendees are senior managers, directors, vice-presidents and professionals who have over five years experience in the industry.
What to expect at OPS: Mobile
Participants in this one-day conference will share best practices from across the industry. The agenda will be comprised of carefully curated sessions covering specific operational challenges and opportunities, led by operations leaders working at the forefront of the field.

The last Friday night of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival saw New York "vogue" and New Orleans "bounce" dance cultures duke it out on the dance floor at the New Orleans Wax Museum. The result was a throwdown of larger proportions than even Bobby Flay could imagine.
Judged by bounce-impresarios, Big Freedia and Sissy Nobby, the competition was presented by One Million Square Feet of Culture (1MSQFT). Backed by Microsoft and Windows, the initiative, "offers physical space to cultural partners and their creative communities to support the creation of new work in film, dance, music, food, art, and fashion."
To date, 1MSQFT has programmed nearly 60,000 square feet of culture at festivals like Art Basel Miami, The Sundance Film Festival and New York Fashion Week. At New Orleans Jazz Fest, the plan was to program 35,533 square feet of music, dance and fringe culture in collaboration with non-profit arts organization, New Orleans Airlift.
"Fringe" was clearly the operative word as legions of bounce-experts and vogue-virtuosos gathered to witness the wildest post-Jazz Fest event of the fortnight. Sharks vs. Jets, Hatfield vs McCoy, Kramer vs. Kramer; other rivalries paled in comparison to this dance-floor donnybrook.
"It was very interesting," said Big Freedia afterwards. "I think they all went hard."
The competition was made up of pros, amateurs and others who simply imbibed enough to have an inflated opinion of their own bounce prowess. Regardless of the motives behind the moves, the crowd greeted each with rabid enthusiasm.
Clad in hot pants, '80s fitness gear, fishnets, sheer one-pieces, masks, a Harlequin outfit and many, many fluorescent accents, the adversaries performed actions that required flexibility, self-confidence and highly dexterous posteriors.
"Bouncing is part of the culture," said New Orleans native and bounce representative, Leslie Foster. "It stems from the music."
Some instruction was offered the day prior when a handful of the night's more veteran performers offered guidance at a bounce seminar. "They taught us how to wiggle and wobble and do all that stuff," explained Foster.
Categories were loosely defined, but included Voodoo Lady, Mr. Jazzman, a Razzle Dazzle concept (which was explained as having something to do with a PayLess ShoeSource slogan), Bizarre and one that asked participants to recreate their favorite exhibit from the wax museum - a harder ask due to the breakneck, acrobatic bounce/vogue movements.
In the end bounce prevailed and champs were crowned in each category. The night evolved into a dance party with much novice bouncing and vogueing propelled by the open bar. While the event was anything but static, considering the location, a wax tableaux depicting the historic revelry must be forthcoming.

Great fashion finds for girls – 1) Heavenly dress from Munster Kids, 2) Tassle Beanie from Country Road Kids, 3) Basik Leggings from Munster Kids, 3) Mixup Dress from Munster Kids, 5) Leggings from P.A.M X ESP no. 1, 6) Marabou Neckace from BIG by Fiona Scanlan, 7) Baggu Hot Pink backpack from Vincent2, 8) Heart Hands Crew Sweatshirt from Minti.
For someone without children I must say this week I am turning into some kind of unsuspecting expert on all things little. I have been doing lots of research and have uncovered SO MUCH CUTENESS… it's enough to make even the most hardened career girl seriously consider procreation. ;)
One thing I have learnt is that there is no shortage of excellent kids clothing on the market. If I read one more press release saying 'we couldn't find anything cute for our kids to wear so we made our own label' I may scream. There is SO MUCH awesome stuff for kids to wear. I think we can safely say there is no longer a gap in the market, people.
We all know Europeans do a particularly great job of dressing their children. There is no end to the gorgeous French and Italian kids clothing labels – so beautiful and so so pricey. It is little harder to uncover local labels producing awesome kidswear, but I have discovered some gems!
Some of the best Australian kids labels I have found are listed below… and their beautiful things are pictured here – girls up top, boys below. I am SERIOUSLY coveting one or two of these in grown-up sizes…! (That Munster Kids 'Heavenly' dress – HELLO! Amazing).
Munster Kids
Munster Kids was created by Sydney-siders Rich and Samantha Brown in 2005 – they now export to 12 countries across the world. The label takes inspiration from the urban legend 'Mikey Munster' – the sharp toothed trouble maker that resides in every kid! Having 3 boys of their own, Rich and Samantha are very familiar with this 'Mikey' character, and their boys provide constant inspiration for the line. In 2009 the range expanded with the launch of 'Missie Munster'. (Stockists listed here)
Minti is such a spunky range for girls, boys and babies, you MUST look at their Autumn/Winter campaign lookbook for far more cuteness than I could possibly include in these layouts! Originally from NZ, but now based in Melbourne, the range is inspired by the simple ethos 'would we wear that if we were small?'. YES. Yes we would. (Online stockists listed here)

About Future Teachers | About Education Faculty | About Science Faculty
|About Future Teachers
Considerations are dependent on the grade level that the pre-service educator will teach, their level of science preparation (e.g., education major or science major), and their access to resources and opportunities. The majority of pre-service educators are elementary education majors, who need to be prepared to bring hands-on science activities into the classroom, that meet grade-specific state-mandated science content standards. In general, the curriculum for elementary teacher preparation does not include extended study of science and many elementary teachers lack confidence in science.
Other pre-service teachers may specialize in a particular field of science as they prepare to teach middle school or high school science subjects. Throughout their science coursework, there is a significant chance that all future teachers will not be exposed to teaching models that reflect the best education practices or the standards-related content for which they will be responsible. In short, their own experience with science learning may include little authentic inquiry, broad, shallow coverage of far more content than they need to master, and models of teaching that falsely separate science and education. It is left to the teacher to integrate content and pedagogy, often after they enter the classroom where they are confronted with the realities of classroom management.
It also is important to understand that the majority of pre-service teachers, whether education or science undergraduate majors, do not participate in authentic scientific inquiry; true scientific research traditionally is not experienced until graduate school, even by science majors. Thus, entry-level teachers of science may not have a strong understanding of the process or nature of science. There is a disparity in the opportunities and resources available to pre-service teachers, dependent to some degree on the training institution. While some universities may have a plethora of faculty, classes, resources, and research opportunities (whether or not they are well-leveraged in the preparation of teachers), other institutions, such as minority serving institutions and community colleges, are unable to provide these resources for their students and faculty.
|About Education Faculty Involved in Teacher Preparation
There is tremendous variability in the depth of understanding of science and the process of science among education faculty responsible for preparing pre-service teachers. Education faculty often include science education faculty who have received strong science content but that content may be restricted to a specific field in science, often biology, and may not include much exposure to Earth and space science. Many faculty have had limited exposure to authentic science experiences, either through coursework, internships, or research. Likewise, there is tremendous variability in the construct of courses about how to teach science. These courses model to different degrees teaching practices informed by educational research and current scientific content.
Many faculty identified a need for continued exposure to current science content, as their research focuses primarily on education issues. Faculty also noted a lack of access to, and funding for, varied professional development experiences. In addition, they often are not aware of current Earth and space science resources, and thus cannot prepare future teachers in the use of these resources to support the content and process skills that K-12 educators will teach in the classroom environment.
|About Science Faculty Involved in Teacher Preparation
Most science faculty who instruct undergraduate students at 2- and 4-year colleges are helping to prepare future teachers, as many of their students will eventually become teachers. Despite the fact that these courses represent a significant component of a future teacher's science background and capability to teach science, the traditional content and practices of introductory science courses do not align with content and pedagogy that the future teacher must employ in the classroom. Introductory courses often cover broad content through lecture that does not humanize science; classroom teaching requires standards-aligned content explored through hands-on, inquiry based learning experiences that illustrate science as a human endeavor. For a variety of reasons, science faculty face a variety of obstacles should they choose to seek professional development that focuses on teaching methodology.
Science faculty may need greater access to the broad range and interconnected nature of science to teach introductory courses that may be expected to cover all of physical science, for instance. They may be unaware of their students' needs and abilities—such as misconceptions, some students' fears of science, or a belief that science consists of memorizing facts. Some science faculty may have expertise in fields completely unrelated to the topic that they are responsible for covering.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
When an automobile accident occurs with a vehicle that is attempting a left turn, the injuries and damages can be catastrophic. In many cases, automobiles will be traveling at a high rate of speed when they collide with the automobiles attempting to make left turns. High impact collisions such as these often result in serious and fatal injuries. If you or a loved one is involved in an accident involving a left turner, it is important to seek the advice of experienced Arizona car accident attorneys to assess your situation and determine which course of action will result in you getting the just compensation you deserve.
Accidents involving left turns can be complex, Arizona car accident attorneys know the issues that you face with these types of accidents. Often, without witnesses, it is not easy to determine which party is at fault. Thus, it is imperative to seek out experienced Arizona car accident attorneys that are knowledgeable and experienced in handling left turn accidents.
The law recognizes that a left turn is a dangerous maneuver, because the left turning vehicle enters lanes of traffic for other vehicles. When it comes to left turns, the law sets forth certain rules regarding the responsibilities of drivers. The Arizona statute that deals with left turns is ARS § 28-772. It states:
"The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle that is approaching from the opposite direction and that is within the intersection or so close to the intersection as to constitute an immediate hazard. "
In other words, a driver is not allowed to turn left at an intersection if the vehicle approaching from the opposite could end up colliding with your automobile. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE COLOR OF THE LIGHT IS AT THE TIME THE COLLISION OCCURS. Even if the vehicle runs a red light and collides with your car, you may still be liable if the other vehicle was so close to the intersection as to constitute an "immediate hazard. " Arizona places the burden on the driver turning left — make sure that the cars coming at you are stopping before you cross their lanes of travel. Wait a few extra moments.
So what if the cars behind you are honking. YOU must make sure that all cars are stopping before you turn. The statute can be very confusing and is often misapplied. Therefore, it is critical that you consult with experienced Arizona car accident attorneys to determine how the statute applies to your situation and whether or not you are in any way at fault.
The left turn is one of the most dangerous maneuvers a motorist makes, and thus great caution must always be undertaken. Serious injuries and substantial damages may occur as a result of an accident involving a left turner. If the unfortunate should occur, and you or a loved one in involved in an accident involving a left turn, it is important to consult with experienced Arizona car accident attorneys.

Contracting out the services that are provided by the state's motor pool would be a mistake for several reasons.
First and foremost, contracting out would mean destroying one of the most efficient and innovative services that the department provides to Oregon. A comprehensive 2002 study of the motor pool, conducted by Maximus Inc., a Maryland-based consultant, found that the fleet provides superb service in an extremely cost-effective manner.
The study also made a series of small suggestions to take the cost-effectiveness of the motor pool even further. The fleet already has implemented these recommendations, leading to even higher efficiency.
The motor pool has always provided services in a cost-effective manner and has shown that it is willing to consider changes to make it even more efficient. To replace it with private contractors would punish an example of the efficiency and innovation that Oregon should encourage in its agencies.
Considering the efficiency of the motor pool, it is not surprising that the supporters of contracting out have shown no evidence that the outsourcing will save the state money or improve services. In fact, the evidence suggests that contracting out will actually cost Oregon more than retaining the motor pool. The Maximus report, for example, shows that contracting out motor-pool services would cost taxpayers millions of dollars more a year.
While sale of the motor pool assets would provide a temporary increase in funding, the increased expenses from contracting out would rapidly consume this windfall. Since it would be prohibitively expensive to rebuild the fleet, Oregon taxpayers would be trapped into paying these high rates for many years to come.
In these times of tight budgets, contracting out the motor pool is a risk that Oregon cannot afford to take.

About Me
I've been a photographer for a while now. Over that time I've shot everything from nudes to pin up to alt fashion, high fashion, dancers, gymnasts and circus performers.
The extremes of flexibility and strength the human body can be stretched to fascinates me, along with the freedom of movement that comes with it. I also love the crazy clothes and poses of fashion – whether I'm shooting for a corsetier, metalworker, goth and rockabilly fashions or gorgeous gowns and fascinators.
I'm eclectic in what I shoot. At the moment I'm fascinated by bodymod and those who follow that lifestyle – partially because my body wont accept some of the mods that I would like to get.
I guess I shoot what I love and what fascinates me, which is everything. If you have a project you think I'd work for, please message me.
I'm doing less TFCD work now – I should be doing none, but I enjoy it too much. My tfcd shoots tend to be more testshoots than anything – seeing how we work together and whether you'd work for upcoming projects I've been planning. I promise they're still fun & you'll still come out with great photos.
I don't have strobe lights at present, mine have died and their replacements are still on their way, but I can borrow or hire sets for specific shoots if need be.
PLEASE MESSAGE OR TAG ME before adding me as a friend - just make contact in some way. Dont worry, i dont bite.

pretty good actually
sorry, but your vocals could use a tiny bit of work. it strikes me as a "rain of agony" spinoff, but with angelsdontkill instead of rocker206. still, nice work. keep it up.
Meh, I don't really want to. haha. I'm a lazy fuck. Well, really...don't have any time. Glad you liked it overall.\m/
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Worth the listen
Worth listening to, but it got a little old. The Vocalist is pretty good, whoever wrote the guitar part is awesome, the guitarist himself is great, can't tell if there is a bass, the drummer is awesome! Lyrics were OK.
Over all it was a performance worth listening too.
By the way, was the vocal recorded twice?
Hmm..Glad you like it overall...Yeah, I recorded two separate vocal tracks. It was exactly what the song writer was looking for.
The drummer is a computer.
Thanks for the review\m/
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Vocals need to be sligtly deeper
But besides that its awsome \m/
All a matter of taste. I'm an old bastard and they don't get any deeper. haha. Thanks for the review.\m/
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The guitars and drums were nice, the vocals were amazingly awesome, it's not just "IGHSDIFJAIOFJSIOFNDSIOFJEWIOFJSDIOGJ EIOS *other extremely messed up, indistinguishable screaming into the microphone* " but were actually extremely well done. The theme was well done and the song didn't "skip around" between various kinds of guitar and vocal works, making it very smooth and well done.
Overall, another hunk of pure awesome in audio form from BMI inc. 10/10
Thanks a lot. With what little spare time I have, I definitely like to try to improve what I put out there.
Thanks for a kick ass review, glad you liked the tune\m/
Rated 5 / 5 stars
man I like this alot this is very good I love this alot because it just reminds me of one thing (chaos) yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I useally never listen to the same song again unless Im absolutely bored but this is a good beat and I love it soo Im going to listen to this everyday because I love it you deserve more than a 10 keep up the good work Im looking forward to your next song
Thank you very much. Glad you like it. Wish I had more time to make metal.
Listen to the dudes on my favorites list...if you like me...you'll love them!\m/

Family doctors are mad. Who can blame them?
Primary-care physicians are the front line of medicine. They are the first stop for people who need care. They treat the patient as a whole person, not a body part or disease. They determine where to send the patient for more care if necessary.
Their income essentially has stayed the same since the 1990s, while their practice expenses have steadily increased. After accounting for inflation, their average income fell 7 percent from 1995 to 2003. This obviously is an unsustainable business model.
Their workdays are brutal. A Philadelphia practice kept track of what its physicians did in a day's time. The average doctor saw 18 patients, wrote 12 prescriptions, reviewed 14 consultation reports from specialists, studied 11 X-rays or other imaging reports, and wrote or answered 17 email messages.
Many patients do not get the recommended care. If everyone did, it would destabilize the U.S. primary-care system. A physician with a typical 2,000-patient base would have to spend more than 17 hours a day to meet all of the guidelines for preventive care and chronic-disease management.
Physicians have to fight for every dollar. Plumbers and attorneys do not have to call a third party to verify that they will be paid when they fix leaky faucets or draw up wills. Doctors must follow strict health-plan guidelines or they will not be reimbursed. State and federal health-insurance programs continue to squeeze the rates they pay physicians to compensate for rising costs. Many practices lose money when they treat Medicaid and Medicare patients.
Primary-care physicians' share of the U.S. health-care dollar is only 7 cents. If payers cut reimbursement for physician services by 25 percent – certainly a doomsday scenario for doctors – the average rate of medical inflation would decrease from 6.2 percent to 5.7 percent.
However, primary-care doctors control 80 cents of every health-care dollar by sending their patients to hospitals, referring them to specialists and handing out prescriptions. This is a key paradox: Primary-care physicians arguably are the most powerful players in the health-care system but are underappreciated and comparatively undercompensated. In a 2006 survey, nearly 8 out of 10 characterized themselves as "junior partners" or "second-class citizens" in the health-care galaxy.
The threat of malpractice suits weighs heavily on physicians. Medical-liability system costs, including defensive medicine, represent less than 3 percent of total health-care spending. However, physician concerns are the same regardless of whether they live in states that have adopted medical malpractice reforms.
They are deeply suspicious of health reform. Two-thirds said their initial reaction to the law was negative. Almost 90 percent said primary care is on "shaky ground" or "is a dinosaur soon to go extinct."
Lou Goodman, president of the Physicians Foundation and chief executive officer of the Texas Medical Association, predicts that physician practices will vanish because of market forces and the new law's effects.
Health reform's newly insured will be clamoring for physician services, which will become increasingly scarce because supply is not expanding with demand. The federal government soon will penalize physicians who do not use electronic health records, an expense and service disruption that many physicians cannot afford. Many solo practitioners or small practices are banding together, selling themselves to hospitals or simply going away.
Some see primary care in a death spiral. Because it is so challenging and relatively underpaid, few medical students choose that route. This places greater pressure on existing practices, forcing even more to drop out. Primary-care doctors have little bargaining power. Their reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid has remained relatively flat over the past decade, and private insurance plans have followed suit.
Even though the workload is expanding, physicians are slowing the speed of the treadmill. The average workweek decreased from 55 hours in 1996 to 51 hours in 2008. That is the equivalent of losing 36,000 doctors in a decade. The financial incentive to work harder, they say, is simply not there.
Only 1 out of 4 say that in three years, they will still work as hard as they always have. The remainder say they will cut back their hours, retire or seek nonclinical employment. The recession has prompted many to delay retirement. The health-care industry experience the largest decline in retirement rates of all economic sectors. In 2009-2010, about 1.5 percent of full-time works retired, compared with 4 percent in 2004-2007.

Radisson Blu Royal Viking Hotel, Stockholm
Top Luxury Hotel
Vasagatan 1, Stockholm, Stockholms Lan
0.7 km from
Great breakfast and great staff. Room was not comfortable for two people. There is a lack of storage. We enjoyed the hotel but we would not want to stay at this hotel for several days.
The hotel staff was very friendly and accomidating. The superior room was just that. Modern, clean and our room location was very quite and that is rare in a bustling city location. Honestly I didn't have one single complaint and that's rare for me. Couldn't ask for a better location if you're taking the train from the airport.
I needed to get medical help when I arrived at the Radisson. Nayra at the front desk arranged for me to go to a nearby clinic and made several phone calls to expedite the process. She was so outstanding in her service! Hold on to her. She is the BEST. Thank you so much!
This place turned out to be perfect for my needs. I only had 24hrs in Stockholm, didn't want to waste time on additional travel to and from hotel. Easy access to airport from here. The staff at hotel was great, very friendly and accommodating. They even helped me plan my itinerary for the day! I was able to check in early, which was very helpful after an overnight flight. Room was clean and very nice. Not very large, but for being alone it was completely fine. Would highly recommend staying here!!
So close to the train station and the center of the city. Perfect walk to the theater we were going to. Not a lot for small children, but the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Very practical location and super comfortable beds, great breakfast buffet. The exterior and it's surrounding are a bit scruffy but nothing bad, could use some touches to brighten up/update it's appearance. The business rooms are rather tight, we could not open both our suitcases at the same time so we had to take turn. The hotel doesn't have a dedicated concierge so we had to trouble the receptionists who were very busy. Some receptionists are knowledgable some are not able to help much.
Excellent location, right next to central train station and Arlanda Express (airport train) as well as short walk to Drottninggatan shopping street and 10min walk to old town. Very good breakfast and friendly and helpful staff. Room faced into an alley with no view. Small issue with free toiletries where housekeeping replaced a bath lotion with shampoo so from the second night on, we ended up with 2 shampoo tubes.
The pool ambiance was amazing! Loved the sauna and hot tub. Great location. Right next to the train to Arlanda, which was really convenient as a traveler! I had a hard time checking in with one of the staff members because my credit card was not working even though I explained to her that I was not going to be buying anything on the bill. Finally she understood.
Location Slippery floor
the Swedish meat balls i ate in the lobby bar area did not taste good.
Location and hospitality Rate
Convenience No windows that open up to the outside air The windows open to the inside of the airport
The hotel was so easy to get to from the airport. The Arlanda Express train practically arrives at the front door. Easy walk to ld town, shopping, sightseeing cruises and trains/buses/tram. The breakfast was delicious and a steal for the price. We also had the Christmas buffet dinner which was great as well. The room was very clean, new, and overlooking the water, town hall, and old town. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was vey accomodating with a late check out so our baby could nap and a comfy rollaway for our older child. I woulx definitely stay here anytime I go to Stockholm. I have no complaints!
Location Shower
The location is great. The breakfast is great. The stuff is very helpful. Overall good value for the money. The mattress to soft for me to sleep. Standard room is poorly equipped
The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the location was very handy for sights. We would definitely stay there again. Room didn't have the best view, but we didn't care that much.
Very nice room, very nice breakfast, fast elevators Great location: directly across from train station (for easy access to airport train) and, even better, it is diagonally across the street from the shuttle bus to the airport (which is much cheaper than the train). We saw 3 Radisson Blu's in Stockholm, at least 2 of which are on the waterfront. One is just around the corner from this one. So make sure you go to the right one.
Excellent high standard hotel. Friendly and professional service.
The breakfast was good, staff wonderful, bar and food fantastic and for someone visiting for the first time they Swedish fare they presented was legitimate and very very good No indoor pool Or jacuzzi, but no one can have everything!
yhIt is a very nice hotel with good location. The room was very clean and nice. I wish that the breakfast was not so expensive. Maybe a good offer that incloude the breakfast.
location, breakfast, clean, staff no bath, cold room
room is small
very comfortable bed and linengood reception area/bar and staff food not hot enough at buffet breakfast
The staff were very accommodating and made sure I was comfortable.
The good service and great rooms They were doing renovation work, and could improve information about the noise that it causes in the rooms
the lobby bar with life music the rooms and the surroundings are very old
very clean room, nice located in city center, friendly staff, fantastic breakfast our room was really chilly and we had to ask for an extra radiator. Two separate beds are always a minus when you travel as a couple..
Location and friendly staff Bathroom quite small; door could not close
it was quietly at the night, so perfect for a tired family after a city trip a pool was spoilt
Everything prepared on time, nice room, nice breakfast, very good locaton. Lack of bar downstairs, small rooms
The location was very convenient, right opposite main entrance to central Station. The breakfast offered a good variety. My room was designated DeLux but was actually a very basic, dowdy, plain room. Nothing DeLux about it at all.
free internet, central location. No mini bar, room service closed at 9:00 pm. Regarding the room rate, they could provide a free bottle of water.
nice breakfast...nice location....nice rooms
I was in one of the small single rooms. By myself on this trip so that was perfect. Easy access to the city center as Central Station is across the street. I've found that it's somewhat uncommon in European hotels to have an iron and ironing board in the room. This is nitpicking though. The hotel was well suited to my needs on this trip and I would certainly stay there again.
I try to use terminus every time I visit dtockholm becauce of it'sproximityto central station, and also for the friendliness of the staff.
Good location not far from the Cental Station and Gammel Town.
The best is the location Small rooms
Security Value for the money comparing to other hotels in the same region
Good Location near central station Hotel was dated.
The staff was really nice, the breakfast was good, it was peaceful the room was too small but it was a cabin room so I guess this is normal - maybe with booking it should be more clear what kind of a room it is
location - no window - loud and couldn't sleep because doors were banging all night - bed as hard as a rock - it takes 1 HOUR for AirCon to start - If you want a tooth brush, you have to go buy one downstairs in their "store" - Absolutely no service or help with bags - They don't even give you water - No minibar - Tiny room. The coat hanger takes up half of the living area. This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Avoid!
Outstanding hotel. I was very confortable with the service, room, breakfasts. Everything was great. Even the location was ideal. I arrived at the central bus station and my hotel was across the road. Shopping and resturantes all around Scania. Nope, nothing negative. The Hotel was perfect.
Location The single room was like a prison cell with no Windows. O.K. for 1 night but not for any longer period.
Its location. Breaksfast was good - standard Scandinavian breakfast Hotel has a dingy atmosphere. My room ( my fault for choosing a windowless cabin) was too small and closed - will not do that again.
Very good breakfast

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/12/2012 (1639 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Books have helped a local 11-year-old girl expand her imagination, but never in her wildest dreams did she expect the kind of support she received during a recent book drive that she organized.
Katie Wilson, a Grade 6 student at Riverview School, had hoped to collect 1,150 books this year in order to add one book to each hamper delivered by Samaritan House.
"I was really surprised and happy to know that there are people listening and willing to help and take care of the community," Katie said after she collected 2,674 books and dropped them off at Samaritan House to be included in the Christmas hampers.
Katie, an avid reader, got the idea last year from her teacher, Lynn Nicol, who encouraged her students to make a difference and develop a strong social conscience.
"Not only do people need food for their bodies, but they also need food for their brain," Katie said.
And Katie has also inspired some of her peers, as it was a couple of friends who helped her deliver box after box of books to the charity.
She already has designs on extending the book drive with the goal of making sure everyone who wants to read will have access to a good book.
"We were shocked and it's unbelievable and unexpected how many people donated," Katie's mother, Sandra Wilson, said.
Sandra said most of the books were donated from people from within city limits and even a couple of businesses — Coles Bookstore and George Strange's Bookmart — stepped up to donate books for the hampers.
"Even people that she dances with came up to her — a little girl came up to her and told her that she saw her in the paper and wanted to donate some of her books, which was really sweet," Sandra said.
She was impressed with the wide variety and quality of the books that were donated.
"There was everything from board books for infants right up to books for adults," Sandra said. "I was really impressed with the quality of the books — new authors, popular authors and books. The books were in great shape and I was impressed that people weren't just giving away their junk books. They were giving away really good books."
Each month, Samaritan House provides more than 1,000 hampers to the needy and the December hampers were stuffed with the donated books.

As you stated there are many here with transmission issues, some have been fixed and with others it continues to be an issue... The fact that some can be successfully repaired while others are left with a malfunctioning unit is, as you so eloquently stated, absurd. If none of the Focus' were able to be fixed then I would say I have no case for a lemon law, however the fact that some have been fixed shows that the way my car drives is not "normal" this it is a lemon since I have had it to the dealership numerous times and it has not been repaired.
As for your statement "cars break, service is important" - no
sherlock.. However a new vehicle should not be in service as much as mine is. Its ridiculous and a huge inconvenience - I have had used cars with over 100K that never saw the inside of a repair shop unless I was doing preventative maintenance (i.e. oil change, etc). I expect better reliability from a new car.
I am willing to pursue legal action in regards to this, I just hope it doesn't come to that. I don't expect one letter to Ford to change anything, I merely sent it b/c legally I am required to send them in writing that this transmission issue has not been repaired. Now depending what they do upon receipt of the letter will determine my next course of action...
IMO, your car is not a lemon at all. The problem is bad service. If your transmission is not working properly, the dealer should fix it.
If the dealer is either unwilling or unable to fix your car, do you buy another car from them and pray that it doesn't break?

Eventually, genetics and the world economy caught up with the company.
"Keep in mind that our body shape is often determined by genetics," says Dr. Ball.
Recent research has shown perfectionism to be an issue of genetics.
This is not the most cutting-edge survey of the science of genetics.
The pioneers of genetics rarely need to trumpet the power of their science.
Eugenics is the science of reproducing better humans by applying the established laws of genetics or heredity.
It sprang from genetics and bears the mark of an implicit Darwinian mechanism.
They also opened new horizons for hypotheses in astronomy, genetics, anthropology.
If, then, progress was to be made in genetics, work of a different kind was required.
But a better definition, based on the results of genetics, looks at it as a mechanism, not as an external appearance.
genetics ge·net·ics (jə-nět'ĭks)
The branch of biology that deals with heredity, especially the mechanisms of hereditary transmission and the variation of inherited traits among similar or related organisms.
The study of heredity, or how the characteristics of living things are transmitted from one generation to the next. Every living thing contains the genetic material that makes up DNA molecules. This material is passed on when organisms reproduce. The basic unit of heredity is the gene. (See chromosomes; dominant trait; genetic code; Gregor Mendel; recessive trait; and sexual reproduction.)

Rising Canada rates almost inevitable
By Ka Yan Ng
OTTAWA (Reuters) - The pace of Bank of Canada interest rate moves remains uncertain, but it is "almost inevitable" that rates will rise over time, soon-to-be retired Deputy Governor Pierre Duguay said on Tuesday.
The central bank's Monetary Policy Report last week stated explicitly for the first time that the bank's outlook assumes "a gradual reduction in monetary stimulus consistent with achieving the inflation target." At the same time, the bank also ratcheted down its domestic growth forecasts.
"It sets the general profile," Duguay, 59, told Reuters in an interview ahead of his retirement from the bank on July 29, the week after the bank raised interest rates for the second time in two months.
"But from the high level of monetary stimulus currently in place it's almost inevitable that there would be some upward movement," he said.
He added: "It's important to say that there is always uncertainty. It's not preordained. We're talking in general terms."
Duguay, a deputy governor of the Bank of Canada since January 2000 and part of the group that decides monetary policy, is also responsible for issues related to promoting a stable and efficient financial system.
He said banking capital reforms were "very close' to being ready to present to G20 leaders at their summit in South Korea in November.
Agreements on objectives for higher quality capital are already in place, and different measures of leverage must still be examined to see which are most appropriate, Duguay said. Continued...
