Ratings for Dr. Min-Wei C. Lee
I've been to see Dr. Lee for over 4 years now and I will never, ever change dermatologists. She is an expert with the needle (Botox and Juvaderm) and with the scalpel (skin cancer surgery). She has helped me and my whole family with a myriad of cosmetic and medical issues. She is always professional and really takes her time with us.
Helpful and professional stafff. Dr. Lee was thorough and complete with her review. She explained many things to me that my previous dr's never took the time. Highly recommended!
Dr. Lee is not only an exceptional doctor, she is warm, caring, compassionate, wonderful person. She's taken great care of me, my parents and children. My whole family loves her. My teenage son usually can't stand doctors and won't listen even to my advice when it comes to his skin but will listen to her. She is extremely attentive and good listener. She spends so much time with her patients and that is a rare quality to find in a doctor. She is so incredibly wonderful with my elderly parents. They are getting very forgetful and more frail. They need an extraordinary amount of care and attention which I feel most of their doctors really don't take the time to do. She is one of the only doctors I know who truly takes time to help my parents with their needs, repeating things, and writing and rewriting instructions to help them remember. It has been very difficult for me and it's so nice to have Dr. Lee and her staff being so supportive as I'm dealing with the effects of their aging.
There are not enough words to describe how much I respect Dr. Lee. I see her often for skin checks, but also for other dermatological needs. Dr. Lee is a perfectionist and wants to do what is best for her patients. Her office staff is friendly, caring, and very professional. She performed Moh's surgery on my nose after finding skin cancer. After a consultation, she did a skin graft and followed up with laser treatments. Today the scar is barely visible and people are amazed at the results. I see Dr. Lee every three months for skin checks and each time I leave the office with peace of mind knowing Dr.Lee saw me. Recently I went to Dr. Lee for skin laser and I can not tell you how happy I am with the results. Dr. Lee truly cares about her patients. I am so grateful to have such a caring doctor and person in my life. Living with skin cancer is not easy, but seeing Dr. Lee makes this journey easier. I highly recommend Dr. Lee as a dermatologist.
Dr. Lee was through and exact and helped me with all my problems. She is the best cosmetic/laser doctor I have ever been to - and I have been to a few ;-)
Offers second-rate lasers and has an anger management problem. Would not recommend.
Yelled at her staff in front of me. Seemed like she knew what she was talking about, but it also seems as though she was rushing through the appointment. I won't be going here again.
The doctor yelled at her staff who were clearly afraid of her, as was I. She was very disrespectful to her medical assistants.

Paint Wrap Pro Delivers
Off-the-shelf spray paint is a fast, convenient way to paint almost any object. But convenience aside, there are some drawbacks. Often the paint application is uneven with "runs, drips, and errors." And the over-spray often creates more problems than it's worth.
Paint Wrap Pro takes spray can painting to the next level. Based on the design of larger-scale industrial electrostatic devices, Paint Wrap Pro turns virtually any spray paint can into a unique system - one that previously was only available commercially ... and cost thousands of dollars. Paint Wrap Pro uses the principle that "opposites attract." It generates a positive charge for the paint while the part being painted has a negative charge - that attracts the paint and provides better coverage. Grounding makes the entire process completely safe. You can start "Painting Like a Pro" - with Paint Wrap Pro, from Ransburg - the inventor and global leaders in electrostatic painting technology.
Easy to handle, and equally easy to use
Ergonomic design - extremely comfortable - perfect for extended periods of use.
Totally portable - used virtually anywhere
Clean-up simple and fast
Smooth, quality finish
Less waste and little or no messy over-spray
Environment safe
Greater control, reducing the amount of paint required - a major cost-savings.
Provide an Exceptionally Smooth, Quality Finish...
You'll see the difference when you compare a Paint Wrap Pro job to a standard aerosol job.
Save Money by Reducing Paint Waste...
Because you have greater control over the amount of paint you spray, you'll save significantly versus standard aerosol spraying.
Save Time with Faster Technology...
5 times faster "surround spray technology" that forces the paint to wrap, covering more surface area in a single pass.
Cleaner, and Reduces Aerosol Paint Overspray...
if we can all cut down the amount of VOC's we put in the atmosphere we'll all win with a cleaner planet.
Although our supplier warranties the Paint Wrap Pro from defects they will NOT accept returns. This being said, we also will NOT accept returns. So please keep this in mind when you are placing your order.Ransburg

Los Angeles • Laurel Canyon wasn't much to look at — a few modest bungalows and log cabins crammed between an occasional faded mansion that had been left over from the days when it was a secluded, semi-rural retreat for Hollywood's silent-movie stars.
And yet from the quiet of the densely wooded canyon came a music revolution that would change popular culture.
The likes of David Crosby and Graham Nash worked on their music — or in some cases created new genres like folk-rock and country-rock — pretty much in anonymity during the 1960s and 1970s, in a place where no one bothered to go in those days unless they lived there.

Jessica Stroup Celebrates 26th Birthday - Vegas Style!
Lighting up Las Vegas with her smile alone, Jessica Stroup celebrated her 26th birthday at PURE Nightclub on Saturday (October 20).
The "90210" star's party dress was a plum strappy high-low hem dress and skin-tone heels as she posed with the DJ and her multi-tiered birthday cake.
Her b-day entourage included mom Judy and brother Dave who joined her at the VIP table on the main stage. After enjoying the cake, the brunette beauty danced and partied with DJ Shift and DJ Cyberkid on the turntables.
Earlier that night, dinner was held at Social House inside Crystals at CityCenter. The group munched on a variety of signature pan-Asian dishes to fuel up for a night of dancing.

Baldwin breaks out in second half for victory
After struggling to run its regular offense the entire first half Friday, Baldwin scrapped that plan completely.
The Highlanders began the second half using their no-huddle, wildcat-style offense called "Z-Pack" and never looked back, scoring on its first three possessions to pull away for a 35-7 nonconference win at Norwin.
Tied 7-7 at the half, Baldwin (2-1) forced a three-and-out by Norwin (0-3) on its first possession.
Then, the Highlanders took the field with senior receiver Zach Denardo — Zach being the "Z" in Z-Pack — taking the snap in the shotgun. Six plays later — all runs by Denardo — Baldwin scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 20-yard run.
"Two years ago, we played Woodland Hills in the playoffs. Zach had been a receiver for us all year, but we put him at tailback and he ran for almost 100 yards," Baldwin coach Jim Wehner said.
"Ever since that time, we keep saying we want to get Zach at tailback, but we've got Dorian Brown back there, we've got Stephon Harris at tailback, so we're trying to get everyone on the field at the same time."
Brown, who led the Highlanders with 144 yards rushing on 22 carries, also got going in the second half. The junior tailback needed just three plays to score on Baldwin's next possession, scoring on an 11-yard run set up by his own 37-yard burst.
"We were just trying to figure out a way to get Dorian Brown on track," Wehner said. "We knew once we got him on track that we were going to be OK."
Denardo finished with 47 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns, the first on a 1-yard run before halftime that tied the score and provided the first glimpse of Z-Pack.
"There were things we were trying to do defensively against that," Norwin coach Art Tragesser said, "but sometimes, it's just hard for a young team to pick stuff up like that without practicing against it."
Norwin ended its two-game scoring drought early in the first quarter.
Dylan Keffer recovered a fumble caused by a bad handoff on the Highlanders' first play from scrimmage. Four plays later, Norwin senior running back Tyson Blazer broke a 34-yard run off the right side for the Knights' first touchdown of the year and a 7-0 lead. Blazer led Norwin with 82 yards rushing on 17 carries.

AT&T Changes Benefit Plan Accounting, New Methodology to Result in Simpler, More Transparent Financial Reporting
AT&T to hold a conference call at 9 a.m. ET to discuss the changes
Dallas, Texas, January 13, 2011
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced today via a filing with the SEC that, in order to improve the transparency of its financial reporting, it has changed its method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses for pension and other post retirement benefits. These gains and losses will now be recognized in the year in which they are incurred, rather than amortized over a period of many years, and recorded on the income statement in the fourth quarter each year.
AT&T will book service costs, interest costs and expected return on assets on a quarterly basis, with an annual adjustment taken each fourth quarter to reflect actual return on assets, changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions.
AT&T expects the change to a market-based approach will result in simpler, more transparent financial results by linking results directly to current market returns, interest rates and health care costs. The change will not impact AT&T's cash flow or pension funding requirements.
AT&T expects the impact of this accounting change on its fourth-quarter 2010 results to be a pretax, noncash charge of approximately $2.7 billion, or $0.28 per share. This charge is driven by a reduction in the benefit plan discount rate from 6.5 percent to 5.8 percent, partially offset by higher-than-expected returns on benefit plan assets and favorable health care cost trends in 2010. Going forward, guidance regarding benefit costs will exclude this gain/loss adjustment to be taken each fourth-quarter to reflect actual results. AT&T expects that 2011 adjusted benefit costs will be in line with 2010 adjusted levels.
Adjusted quarterly and annual results are available at AT&T Investor Relations, and AT&T will host a conference call at 9 a.m. ET today to discuss this accounting change. The company will broadcast a live webcast of the call at AT&T Investor Relations, and the webcast will be available for replay until February 25, 2011, at the same address.

"If you bought this plague you might like..."
Those are snippets from some of the sweetly funny new faith-gone-tech videos circulating in advance of Easter and Passover.
The new gimmick for turning attention to the upcoming holy days is all about launching the next viral video. Catholics and Jews are stepping up their digital tech game here.
The Archdiocese of New York and the Brooklyn and Rockville Centre dioceses are running a video contest promoting April 18, the Monday of Holy Week, as a day of confession. Kids and teens can to win scholarship money with 1 minute videos -- winner picked by YouTube hit counts -- that convey the value of the sacrament of reconciliation, the proper name for confession. Priests will be at the ready at every parish in all three dioceses at the after-school hours on Monday
There are scores of entries up at i-confess.com including one of my faves -- Backpack of Sin
April 18th is also Passover and the videos circulating include one from an Orthodox outreach group, Aish, that zips through how the Exodus would have looked if tech tools of today existed in Pharaoh's land. Don't miss the plagues section.

I'd rather use a GET
May 25, 2003 | co.mments
Benefit of human readable protocols
Give this a try
The browser configuration string to do it:
The Python to do it:
import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.google.com") conn.request("GET", "/search?q=absurd+obfuscation&num=10&hl=en&ie=latin1&oe=latin1&safe=false") r1 = conn.getresponse() print r1.status, r1.reason data1 = r1.read() conn.close() print data1
May 25, 2003 10:23 PM
That gets you the data. Of course, there is no description of what the output returned is, so you are at the whim and fancy of the provider.
If this is OK with the provider, and you are designing a protocol where there only ever is to be one server, this works just fine.
The point of a number of my essays is to explore what happens when you want to design a protocol which is to be supported by a number of different vendors, each with potentially unique requirements. In those cases, an XML interface has some advantages.

Stieg's hot streak:Stieg Larsson's domination of USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list in 2010 continues. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was the top seller in the third quarter, just as it was in the second. (He also holds two of the other top four spots.) And, Dragon Tattoo starts off the fourth quarter at No. 1.
The top 20 sellers for the third quarter:
1.The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Thoroughly modern Follett: Ken Follett started out as a thriller writer, then made the transition to historical fiction. His The Pillars of the Earth and its sequel, World Without End, both set in the Middle Ages, became mega best sellers. With his new Fall of Giants, which enters the list at No. 2, his highest debut ever, Follett moves on to the 20th century. It's the first volume in his planned Century Triology. "I wanted to write another story that would have the sweep and impact of World Without End, but I needed a break from the Middle Ages," Follett tells USA TODAY. "The 20th century is the most dramatic and violent era in human history, and it's also recent enough for us to connect with: It's the story of us and our parents and grandparents." (Pillars, which reached No. 3 in the fall of 2007 and was an Oprah pick, lasted on the list for more than a year.)

The law requires lenders to display a notice containing the payment schedules and the loan's contractual obligations. In Texas, lenders are prohibited from loan-splitting, or the act of creating two loan out of one for the shady practice of charging interest on both. The law dictates not a maximum number of outstanding loans that a borrower can have established. But, a customer may not exceed $500 in combined loans that are unpaid. In Texas, payday loan business cannot bring criminal suit against a delinquent or defaulting borrower.

Demi Lovato Lashes Out at Disney for Eating Disorder Joke
On Friday, the songstress took it to Twitter to voice her concerns about a joke that was aired on the Disney Channel. Demi, who was admitted to rehab for an eating disorder last year, slammed Disney for making fun of anorexia on an episode of Shake It Up. She tweeted:
"I could just eat you up, well if I ate" – Disney Chanel's Shake It Up…. What are we promoting here? #notfunnyATALL
She then continued her rant in multiple tweets, saying:
I find it really funny how a company can lose one of their actress' from the pressures of an EATING DISORDER and yet still make joke about.. Dear Disney Channel, EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT SOMETHING TO JOKE ABOUT.
However, Disney was quick to respond to Demi's concerns. They have since taken removed the offending episodes from their TV schedule. Through their PR Twitter account, the company tweeted back:
We hear you & are pulling both episodes as quickly as possible & reevaluating them. It's NEVER our intention to make light of eating disorders!
Last month, former Disney starlet Miley Cyrus took it to Twitter to lash out at those who make light of anorexia. Along with a photo of an emaciated girl, Miley tweeted:
By calling girls like me fat this is what you're doing to other people. i love MYSELF & if you could say the same

UPPER NAPPAN – Both Murray Scott and warden Keith Hunter answered questions about amalgamation between the county and the town of Springhill after Wednesdays council meeting. Scott was interviewed outside the council chambers just as the meeting was ending and Hunter was later interviewed on the phone.
Scott is heading the Springhill concerned citizen's group and said he came to speak to council on Wednesday about holding a plebiscite to decide the future of Springhill.
"There are three partners here (Springhill, the County, the province), and for it to be an uncontested application (for amalgamation between Springhill and the County) it requires all three to be agreeable to the application, and our point in coming here today was to try to convince the municipality that the citizens of Springhill are having their rights ignored," said Scott. "I was hoping they would recognize that and put pressure on the town of Springhill to have a plebiscite. If they are so sure it's the right thing to do and they believe the people are supportive, a plebiscite would prove that."
Asked about Springhill's debt, Scott says amalgamation isn't necessarily the magic bullet needed to clean up the town's debt.
"We have the town of Springhill projecting numbers and figures and putting out budgets, and the numbers seem to be changing," said Scott. "We have two accountants from outside the province who have reviewed the numbers we provided them and they have a different perspective of the future of the Town of Springhill as we see it."
Hunter says debt is a problem for small communities throughout Nova Scotia.
"The smaller the municipality the tougher it is for them. They still have the same land and the same expenses as far as water, sewer and roads are concerned, and the population base is eroding," he said. "People are getting older, people are dying off and people are going out West for work and that means taxes aren't there to be collected. If you haven't got money coming in, just like any business, if you want to move forward you're going to be in trouble."
The province of Nova Scotia recently released financial indicators for municipalities from throughout the province for the year 2011-2012.
Springhill was redlined for many indicators, with the most glaring being the per cent of uncollected taxes. The average score for Nova Scotia municipalities was 9.7 per cent of taxes uncollected, while Springhill received a score of 53.8 per cent. The County has a score of 9.6 per cent, while the Town of Amherst has a score of 2 per cent.
The report says, "A low percentage indicates the municipality is adequately managing tax revenue collection. A high percentage may indicate the municipality is experiencing difficulty monitoring and collecting overdue tax accounts. Because the amount of uncollected taxes can accumulate over several years, it is possible to exceed 100% uncollected taxes in situations of extreme financial distress."
Scott says uncollected taxes are a serious problem, but not a problem that can't be solved.
"The uncollected taxes is an administration problem that should be dealt with within town hall and that's their job to collect those taxes," he said. "There should be pressure put on that right way, and my understanding is the province can help the town to do that today. If they can help the town do it through a dissolution process, why can the do it through the normal routine of business?"
The Municipality of Cumberland had no red indicators in the financial indicator report.
"The comparisons have been done within the province and we're number one as far as rural municipalities are concerned," said Hunter.
Asked about tax collection in Springhill Hunter said:
"We've got somebody hired right now working on collecting those taxes for the town of Springhill. That person is in place and they're working to find out how many of those taxes are legitimate and collectable and collect those that are, or at least try."
"Will roads be fixed? Talk to the people in Canso or the other communities that have amalgamated…" said Scott. "Nobody believes for one second that someone is going to ride in here on a horse and pave all the streets of Springhill and it's going to be free.
"There's two things that can happen, the roads can remain as is or they can be paved and the people of Springhill can pay for it, and that will not change under amalgamation."
Asked if he roads of Springhill would be paved by the county, Hunter said it is not a given.
"They're doing an inventory of the roads to see what kind of shape they're in. Before the county takes those over we're going to have some negotiations with the province to try to get them up to acceptable levels.
"If you look at the assessments of property of Springhill, there are low assessments on the properties in Springhill," said Scott. "I'm not suggesting that should change but it you look at the tax rate, the tax rate doesn't reflect the amount of money the town requires to operate but, again, as a committee we believe there are tremendous opportunities that are being ignored,"
Those opportunities focus on geothermal energy.
"The world recognizes the potential here, and our own administration in the town seems to overlook that," said Scott.
"We have a subcommittee in our group of volunteers who are looking very hard for economic development and have come up with some great ideas. If our mayor and council would reach out to the citizens and ask for some help we truly believe that we could generate additional revenue for the town, we could encourage business and we could survive as a community and remain an incorporated town under the municipal government act."
In January the province of Nova Scotia issued an energy lease to the town that would allow the town to operate geothermal energy as a utility.
"There are engineers who have been working on this for months now who believe that there's tremendous opportunity here as well," said Scott. "Bill Casey has spoken to company's outside this area that show interest in our community with regards to geothermal energy.
"We don't believe it's been properly marketed of that the proper amount of energy hasn't been put in to sell that utility."
Hunter was not asked about the geothermal potential but during the council meeting Bill Casey asked about $1.2 million budgeted by the county for economic development for the town of Springhill.
Hunter said the money is a line item in the budget which will be used, "for geothermal energy."
With regards to assessments Hunter said:
"The assessments are relative to the market value or they're supposed to be. If the market value goes up then the assessment will go up, but other than that, no they won't take a spike," said Hunter.
TOWN POLICE vs. RCMP
If the town and county amalgamate, it appears Springhill will be policed by the RCMP. The county says there will be substantial saving by having the RCMP but Scott says the people of Springhill would like to see the numbers released so they can see for themselves whether or not the savings are substantial.
"We say compare apples to apples. Is it 24 hour coverage, how many officers is it? If we lose the criminal record check, which is pretty well a quarter of a million a year, the RCMP doesn't do that work, so that's going to be gone, so you have to deduct that from what the Springhill cops actually get," said Scott.
He also pointed out that the Springhill police receive $200,000 annually from the province to provide two police officers for the street crime unit. He asked if that money has been taken into account in the comparison.
"Let's compare apples to apples. We say, 'let's see it.' If it's the right thing and the proposals are identical then let's see them. Why hide it?" said Scott. "There's a reason it's not being disclosed. We would like to see that information released today."
Scott finished by saying the current Springhill mayor and council are taking the easy way out.
"It's very easy to sit back and say, 'we have high taxes, people aren't paying there taxes and people aren't paying their bills and we can't survive anymore,'" said Scott. "That's the easy way out of all of this. A tough way would be to bring the community in and work together and find a way for our town to survive. That's what we're saying. Basically, if people think they can't do it, they should allow others to try."
"I can't give you any definite numbers now but I can say there will be substantial savings in that police service yearly, worthwhile enough to make the change. We've got the figures but it's not up to me to release them."
Those financial comparisons are currently in the hands of John Leefe, the transition co-ordinator appointed by the province to facitlitate the amalgamation process, and have not been made public.
The next important date on the amalgamation calendar is June 18. That's when the Nova Scotia Untility and Review Board will hold a public hearing in Springhill.

|The goal of inclusion is more or less credible depending on what it is that learners have in common. I discuss one characteristic that all learners are thought to share, although the learners I am concerned with represent an awkward case for the aspiration of inclusivity. Respect is thought of as something owed to all persons, and I defend the view that this includes persons with profound and multiple learning difficulties and disabilities. I also consider the implications of respecting profoundly disabled learners for teaching and learning: treating the profoundly disabled learner as a person; the close relationship between teaching and caring for a vulnerable learner; individualized learning as an element of a successful teaching and learning environment.

The 68-year-old briefly walked out on Togo at the World Cup after a pay dispute involving the players, before returning amid much confusion.
"It's a great honour to have a coach with his knowledge," said El Merreikh vice-president Osman Kadeer.
Pfister reached a verbal agreement to stay with Togo until 2008, but did not sign a new contract.
"I signed a contract with El Merreikh which I intend to respect and will be back in Khartoum on 17 September to take full charge of the team," said Pfister, who is expected to receive a monthly salary of $US15,000 (£8,000).
The two-time Saudi Arabia coach has worked in African football for 25 years, with spells in Zaire, Tunisia, Ghana and Egypt.

"I may be a grieving mother, but I'm not stupid. No one has to tell me what to say. And if people help me amplify myself, God bless them."
"It depicts how a person is in a cocoon state like the butterfly during his or her time of grieving, and after a length of time that is necessary for that person's grief, they come out of the grieving time a new and different person. Death causes life as it was before with the individual to completely end, and the survivor must decide to find a new normal or a new beginning or a new state."
"We ask you to speak for all those silent, anonymous victims of tobacco grieved by their loved ones but unknown to a callous and deceitful industry,"

I am amazed this band didn't made a bigger splash than they did. I suppose I'd have to blame the scene for that, as it has become so overrun with third-rate At The Gates/ In Flames wannabes that this band has been tarred with the 'yet another melodic death metal band' brush. Yes Solar Dawn are from Sweden, yes they play Melodic Death Metal of the general Gothenburg school, and I suppose if you really hate that style, you can just skip the rest of this, but it would be a shame to dismiss this band, as they are way too good to ignore.
What I like about Solar Dawn is that they are all about the riff. A lot of bands of this stripe play nice harmonies and good leads, but they don't have the stuff to write real songs. These guys build rock-solid songs around some of the coolest riffs I have heard in ages. Each song has its main riff, plus breakdown and alternate riffs to keep things from getting dull, and each tune has its own identity. One spin of the album and each song will be immediately identifiable, not to mention that some of the riffs are fiendishly hooky. (The main lick from "Punished By Silence" in particular, will never come out of your skull.) There are some slower tunes like "Deep In Mourning" which has some clean vocals that are surprisingly good, and thrashier cuts like "Spellbinder" and the awesome "Artistic Blasphemy". Throughout the CD Solar Dawn successfully combine Swedish Death Metal with a Traditional Metal riff sensibility to generate some monstrously catchy, headbanging stuff.
The look of the CD is atypical, with a rather artistic cover pic and a perfectly legible logo. The interior design is fine, if uninspired. Lyrics are included, and I have to say they are pretty cliché. Typical Gothenburger junk here like "Insidious lords of utopian decay/ once on the throne of this world/ indoctrination, salvation or decay?" What the hell does that mean? Whatever. Fortunately this is Death Metal, and you can't really understand the words anyway. The production is very good, with that signature Abyss guitar tone and a massive lower end to the proceedings so that the whole package sounds heavy as Hell.
Solar Dawn are a very cool band, and I see no reason why the fact that their general subgenre usually sucks should hold them back. Whatever you think of the Gothenburg sound, these guys are an excellent band that deserve way more attention than they are getting. I highly, highly recommend this album to any and all Death fans who aren't addicted to Satan, as this is heavy, crushing stuff that will grab you by the throat and won't let go. An excellent and unjustly overlooked CD.
Originally written for www.metalcrypt.com
My general opinion of the Gothenburg sound is that it has its moments (such as a few choice songs by At the Gates, Arch Enemy, etc.), but is for the most part, boring. I don't really consider Amon Amarth, one of my favorite bands, part of the genre. Their aggression, lyrical imagery, and talent elevate them above standard melodeath. And while I definitely can hear the similarities to Amon Amarth in Solar Dawn's work (the first two tracks feature unmistakable AA riffs), in my mind, this band falls right in with the likes of Dark Tranquillity and Soilwork. When they're not copying Amon Amarth, the riffwork is very much the same. It's especially noticeable on the track "Spellbinder," which could almost be swapped with anything on Steelbath Suicide without anyone being the wiser. Or is it The Chainheart Machine I'm thinking of? All this Gothenburg stuff sounds the same to me these days.
Ugh, then there's the vocals. Älvestam sounds like he's just trying too hard to sound harsh. While the opening scream on "Punished by Silence" is almost reminiscent of Johan Hegg, the rest just comes off as really strained, like he's fighting a throat infection. I do very much like the clean vocals to be found on "Deicidal Beliefs" however. If they'd stuck with that, I imagine I'd get much more enjoyment out of this. As is, the vocals just grate on my nerves. The momentary clean interludes provide some measure of variation, but not nearly enough.
Right up till the end, there's nothing else really noteworthy. The best song I've heard from this band was on their previous EP, Frost-Work. If this whole album sounded more akin to "Arisen Composure," it would be another story entirely. A song of that caliber was what I was waiting to hear, but it never came. Highlights? Meh, So while Solar Dawn may at times sound like Amon Amarth, they're too lacking to stand up to the masters of melodic Viking death metal. What this really amounts to is typical melodeath with bad vocals and recycled riffs. Don't waste your time.

Wouldn't a dancing chinchilla be the cutest thing ever, or a chinchilla that can jump through flaming hoops of fire? Chinchillas are very talented and intelligent pets, but you might find that training them to do mystical tricks of wonder more difficult than expected. Chinchillas can be taught some things, but training them to do tricks for entertainment should probably be left to the dogs.
OK, It Can Learn Its Name
Chinchillas don't have a need to learn tricks, so they won't. However, they are creatures of habit, so they will learn their names through repetition. Over time, your chinchilla will get used to you calling it a certain name. When it's playing and you say its name, it will look up at you and understand that you are talking to it.
Chinchillas memorize where things are placed around the room and its cage. Once it knows the layout of the cage, it will be able to zip around with extreme efficiency. It will also learn where its food is stored. If you keep treats under the cabinet across the room from its cage, every time you walk by the cabinet, it will know you are getting a treat.
Because chinchillas are creatures of habit, you must keep them on a set routine. Drew Carter, a chinchilla owner in York, Pa., said that he always gives his pet chinchilla a treat after out-of-cage playtime. His chinchilla knows this, so if it doesn't receive a treat, it gets a little fussy. Give your chinchilla a routine, and it will be very happy.
OK, It Might Learn To Be Litter Box Trained
Litter-box training is difficult for chinchillas, and will rarely be successful. However, chinchillas will urinate in the same spot in their cage for years. You can put a litter box in the same spot your chinchilla likes to urinate, and it will go in the box. If you move the box, the chinchilla will continue to urinate in its habitual urination spot. Using a litter box makes cleaning easier.
Every chinchilla is different. Some will learn things that others won't. The important thing to remember is that training a chinchilla takes time. Carter said that training a chinchilla takes patience. "Small steps, is the only way to train."
Try to train your chinchilla to jump through a flaming hoop if you want. Take small steps, and hope that your chinchilla will want to one day become a circus super star.

Newly elected Marva Craft and Erica O'Dell attended their first Sheridan County School District 2 board meeting Monday night. Per the By-Laws, the board nominated and elected new officers for the year. New chairman is Scott Hininger; Vice Chair is Molly Steel; Treasurer is Wayne Schatz; and Clerk is Ann Perkins.
Superintendent Craig Dougherty reported that demolition of Meadowlark on DeSmet is still underway. Some materials testing that contractors hadn't anticipated has caused the demolition to go beyond the original timeline, but Dougherty said documents for the new Meadowlark Elementary are close to completion, with site and finish details being finalized. He added that construction documents will be available for bid on February 1st, and they hope to award the bid at the March 7th Board meeting.
The board approved on first and second reading several policies; they heard School Improvement reports from secondary education principals Laurien Rahimi, Dirleen Wheeler and Mitch Craft; they approved selling the District's 2001 24-passenger Chevrolet Midbus to High Plains IC Bus Sales in the amount of $2,600, and they approved a request to advertise for contractor qualification statements and to bid for construction of Meadowlark Elementary School.
The biggest news from the meeting, however, came at the very end, when Assistant Superintendent Tom Sachse regretfully told the Board that for the first time, Fort Mackenzie High School did not reach AYP for the year, because of the number of drop-outs they've had. He explains.
Sachse echoed the thoughts of many administrators regarding the demands on high school populations when it comes to graduation timeline requirements.
Sachse said it literally would take an act of Congress to get those requirements changed, and in fact, Superintendent Dougherty and others intend to voice their concern to Senator Mike Enzi.
Junior High Principal Mitch Craft perhaps summed it up best during his presentation by saying that teaching and learning can no longer fit within a 'one-size-fits-all' boundary.

Gay Arabs
Gay arabian morocco man plus arab lesbian in gay morocco sites find
a gay morocco man. See gay arab sites with single arab men that are gay arab man in these gay arab men photos.
Date Gay Arabs By Clicking Photo/Link Below
Every gay arab man wants to know how to make a relationship last. There is no magic trick but obviously
there are some things that can be done and should in order to maintain the harmony in gay arab sites. Single arab men go through
various phases and both partners must adapt to keep the relationship strong. Is it still possible to love a gay morocco
man until death. Of course it is, but it is not a necessary belief in order to have a happy couple. For some gay arabian men,
the toughest part is to let go of the initial passion stage of the couple. You know the stage where you have butterflies just
thinking about the gay man you are anxiously anticipating evenings together way ahead of time. That particular stage
stimulates the endorphins of the brain which give an overwhelming sensation of excitement and joy. It feels just like gay
arab men photos while it lasts but when it fades out, it leaves many couples wondering what happened to their relationship.
It is just a passionate stage and you must accept that the effect does not stay as strong through time. The next phase is
critical as it establishes each partner's role within gay morocco sites. We will call it the building blocks. This stage
will show you if there is every day chemistry, but most importantly if you complete a morocco man in your own little way.
The most successful couples are the ones that keep it simple between them. If you do not have too many expectations, you should
not have too many disappointments either. You should both separately make a list of what you consider your essential needs.
Focus on reasonable needs that are out of your control. Expecting your arab lesbian to stay physically faithful or expecting
your partner to understand your need for solitary time.

Visit the Victoria Education Centre website here
Follow Victoria Education Centre on Facebook here
We have a good reputation and enjoy strong relationships in the local community. we welcome diversity in culture, religion and ability, and we value the contribution that every child and young person makes to our school.
In 2007 the Department for Children, Schools and Families awarded us specialist status as a Sports College with information communication technology (ICT). Not only is this based on our equipment and facilities, but I believe it reflects our school's commitment to excellence and providing the best education possible.
Learning at Victoria
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which is accessible to all our students and provides smooth progression an continuity from the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through to post-16.
For more information on the curriculum, please read our prospectus.
Living at Victoria
Victoria has flexible residential facilities for students. We can acommodate weekly, fortnightly, termly and 52-week boarders. We re-registered as a Children's home in 2007.
Sports at Victoria
Sport is a huge part of life at Victoria. We were recognised as a specialist sports college in September 2007 and in 2009 OFSTED called our sports outstanding. Physical education and sport have long been a strength of our school. We believe that disability should be no barrier to sport, whether for fun or at the highest levels of competition. For this reason, every student is encouraged to get involved in a whole range of sports and activities, all individually tailored.
Victoria has fantastic sports facilities that include a large sports hall, a fitness room, soft play area and swimming pool. We have plans to further develop these facilities in the coming years.After school and at weekends, we offer an extensive programme of sports which include: athletics, table cricket, dance, boccia, hockey, and both ambulant and wheelchair football.As London prepares to host the Paralympics in 2012, there is real excitement among staff and students alike. Our dream is to see students past and present competing as part of Team GB. In a society which often pities or patronises disabled people, having medal winners and record breakers within our school raises everyone's confidence and aspirations.
We're proud to be rated 'Outstanding' in all areas for our most recent Ofsted inspection (June 2015). View the report (PDF) here.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
With the decaying shells of Fotomats withering in strip-mall parking lots around us, we're reminded it takes forward-thinking people to keep pace with the march of technology. Some do this well, while others see the fruits of their labor turned into locksmith kiosks. For a picture-book example of successful evolution, take a gander at Fullerton Photographics. Though it originally focused its services on the analog-film needs of the artistic and student communities, following the death of its hallowed founder, Chris Beard, it was taken over by the enterprising Gabrielle Mullinax, who broadened the store's services and brought it into the digital age. Though it continues to offer hand developing of film, it also features a wide array of printing options, not the least of which includes its celebration-of-life services. Yes, we're talking about funerals. It's morbid, but wait until you're stuck with the corpse of a loved one and have no idea what you're going to do for that person's memorial. Fullerton Photographics offers the grieving family a wealth of reasonably priced options, including shoe-box scanning and a variety of hip-yet-tasteful templates to choose from for memorial cards. Best of all, the staff work fast.
Hope you held onto those Donnie Wahlberg posters: Another decade from the past has become all cool and retro, and this time, it's the 1990s (la vida loca?). Eighties nostalgia is so 10 years ago. It seems like everyone has jumped in on the craze. MTV brought back Beavis and Butt-head and—get this—music videos. The Backstreet Boys and New Kids On the Block got back together to perform for swarms of once-tweens (Justin who?). Newt Gingrich has considered a presidential run. Teen witches replaced teen vampires. Christina Applegate is still hot. It's easy, we suppose, to long for the days when the now-legal, pouty Olsen twins chirped adorable one-liners ("You got it, dude!"), and the only terrorists we worried about were dinosaurs destroying theme parks. Yes, we love the '90s! Now, if only we can bring back the Clinton-era economy and Metropolis in Irvine. . . .
Sometimes, you just have to go with the obvious. If you're gonna go to the mall, you might as well go to the mall, the holy grail of Orange County consumerism, the reason why the words "Costa Mesa" sit beside Beverly Hills, Paris and Milan in designer ads in glossy magazines. It's a place where a concierge will check your bags when your arms get too tired, where personal shoppers are at your service (for a fee, of course), where your electric Jaguar can juice up at the charging station while you shop. Even if you're more, well, recession-chic like us, it's always fun to play Pretty Woman, dressing up (yeah, you've gotta dress up) and prancing around the fancy cluster of shops: Prada, Burberry, Armani, Gucci, La Perla, Hermès, Versace and Chloé. The 2.8 million-square-foot complex houses all the usual mall stores, too, including H&M, Banana Republic and Nine West, as well as the major department stores and a list of eateries from acclaimed gourmet to fast food. Shopping has never looked this good.
Located in a former auto garage, the Captain's Helm exudes hipster chic, yet it skews more thrift store than vintage store. There's a nice selection of graphic tees and polo shirts, some with interesting graphics such as Reagan's face twisted in all sorts of grotesque contortions accompanied by nasty, lovable captions; these run anywhere from $8 to $12. And don't miss the selection of Captain's Helm T-shirts featuring obligatory line drawings of a crusty rowboat guy. Included in the mix are shoes, boots and jeans, as well as—bizarrely—surfboards. And like any forward-thinking secondhand store, there's also a sizable collection of used vinyl. All of which gives the savvy shopper plenty of reasons to check this spot out.
This place offers nearly all the creature comforts the eco-conscious soul could desire, except for organic produce. Like a subspace passage to Portland, Seed People's Market touts "products with a purpose" and carries countless handmade and recycled items arranged artfully about the shop on whimsical art-installation-like displays. The result resembles a miniature Patchwork Festival operating seven days a week. You'd be hard-pressed to find another establishment in Orange County from which you can walk away with Patagonia outerwear, a package of hand-printed stationery and a pair of decorative bear-eared headbands. Nestled in the heart of the Camp in Costa Mesa, not only does the store offer an array of guilt-free gift-worthy items, but it also has a café and a second-floor crafting studio, with regularly scheduled classes. So if you're feeling particularly productive, you could roll over to Seed, get your birthday shopping done, learn how to repurpose old copper wire into a new birdhouse, grab some coffee and wrap up by chilling out on the patio while shooting the shit next to a campfire.
In the SoCo Corner off Interstate 405 is the home-decorating behemoth known simply as tpt home, pleasing shoppers and infuriating the grammar police. The year-old shop is the size of a giant warehouse—one entire wing is dedicated to fake flowers and faux topiary (look no further to satisfy those artificial-Christmas-tree needs). Calling itself "Orange County's destination for inspired home décor," tpt definitely has an OC aesthetic and is perfect for those Newport Beach residents who had to fire their interior decorator when the market crashed. Any knickknack can be found—need some colored glass balls to finish off the table setting? Maybe an assortment of tin bud vases? A sequined bird statue? Yep, all can be found here.

1. Re: Change markup Note Entity screen locationRicardo Av-Oracle Apr 11, 2012 7:06 PM (in response to NickBannister)You can not customize the location of the Notes edit dialog.
Which version are you using?
20.2.0 centers it with respect to the applet window
2. Re: Change markup Note Entity screen locationNickBannister Apr 12, 2012 12:39 PM (in response to NickBannister)I accept this answer however the UI is based upon java objects (AWT) and you can normally alter the location of a dialog using straight java API and seems a shame that the VueBean API does not allow the location to be moved.
Possible future enhancement maybe who knows.
3. Re: Change markup Note Entity screen location916491 Apr 13, 2012 6:48 AM (in response to NickBannister)For GUI objects which have not much complication, like information gui objects, you can use a custom action to add the gui a custom window. Then, replace the action with your custom action in the bin/Profiles/custom.gui file on the Autovue server. Not perfect method, since some system actions are called from more places than just the regular gui. Also, a laborious process, since there is no example around. But I customized completely the save dialog this way, though I had to drop import markups and some automated chain actions (like save all markups) still call the old dialog.
Still, the method is quite over-dimensioned to just get a position change... But I know no other way to do so.
4. Re: Change markup Note Entity screen locationNickBannister Apr 13, 2012 9:54 AM (in response to 916491)I thought about doing this and the only thing that is making me stop is the fact when they double click on the note the 'old' dialog will pop up and not the new one created by me.
Do you have any example code to create a note silently? Also do you know how to override the double click event to use a new dialog?
I wonder if I could extent the MarkupNote and override certain functions to use my own dialog???
Like you say there are not many examples around.
5. Re: Change markup Note Entity screen location916491 Apr 16, 2012 7:26 AM (in response to NickBannister)My guess is that this behavior outside the basic gui file (in this case, the note window popping out a double click on a note) is what makes the manual to talk about adding custom actions, but not about replacing pre-existing ones. If all behavior in the gui truly came out of the gui file, these issues would not happen, but unfortunately that is not the case.
And unfortunately, I have no answer to workaround this. In my opinion, it would be a very welcome feature to have all actions mapped through the gui file, even those chained from sources other than an icon or a menu. This would probably be the less intrusive method for the current implementation.
Another method would imply a double check, where an enum of standard actions would be mapped against either core implementation or custom implementation. So, no matter where an action was called, if replaced this way, it would receive the proper calling. But it is up to Autovue's team to decide the direction to go here on future releases.

USA Soccer Fever at David's Cafe
If you've been in Miami Beach for more than a day, you know that David's Cafeehas great coffee. But you might not know that Adrian Gonzalez, second generation owner of David's, has added big flat screen TV's to both locations making them a top World Cup viewing outpost for tourists and locals. Everyone is welcome here and they have the flags to prove it.
Together the two locations boast 135 employees from all parts of the world, so the flags are a necessity for workplace peace. Each worker's country is represented, and then some. " It's unbelievable how passionate they become about this," he comments, adding that an employee refused to come to work unless his country's flag was up.
And up in one location is not enough....it has to be in both. Norwegian born, I am pleased to see that my flag is up too.
Adrian is a USA supporter through and through and will be watching the USA-Algeria game this morning at 9:30 a.m. while enjoying a palomilla slider and a cold Corona. The UK-Slovenia game, at the same time, will be showing on the screens at the other end of the bar. Being engaged to a lovely lass from England, he's got to keep up with the future in-laws.

I am traveling to Jamaica and would like to know if my Verizon cell phones will work there. They are not world phones.
7 Comments:
Yes, it will. It will cost about $2/min. to use your phone there.
Used my phone in Jamaica and it was just a plain old phone from AT & T. Worked great. Too Great. When my young daughter missed me she called and my bill was $1,200. Be careful. Have a great time. That was my very first vacation ever.
For texting, the roaming triangle will most likely appear on your phone's status bar and it may charge a couple of pennies per text but you can definitely do it because I have before. I believe I sent/received about a few hundred text messages and ran up $36 dollars on the monthly bill but whatever, texting is necessary.
Maybe a World SIM/Cell Phone will be good alternative to International Roaming: http://www.rebelfone.com/World_simcards.asp
Find someone to "unlock" your phone before you go…about $25 to $40, then when you arrive in JA, get a Digicel or CableWireless chip ( sim card ) for about $8 and an international plan…J$1200, or US$20….you'll have 16 hours of talk time to the US.
Or buy a lower end phone from one of those servers, about $35…it'll come with the sim card, and buy the plan….you'll be good to go !
you're better off getting a prepaid Digicell phone once you get there it only $30.00(some U.S. phones work if they're unlocked but you can't really count on it (and the roaming charges can be outrageous)
Where in Jamaica will you be? Verizon cell phones do work in Jamaica as long as you are near an area with service towers.
Find out how to unlock your phone safely or rent a phone there once you arrive. There are prepaid one too you can buy and use on your next trip or sell it before you leave if this will be your only visit to the Island.
Please note though that the cost of taking calls there in Jamaica can cost you almost US$2 per minute.

Environmental Studies may be broadly defined as an exploration of the myriad ways by which the human species influences, and is influenced by, its non-human surroundings. These interactions have inspired great works of art and fundamentally shaped the development of human cultures. Deeper understanding of our human self and its modes of expression can be gained by appreciating our innate connectedness to our natural environment.
Unfortunately, human-environment interactions also have seriously disrupted the natural processes sustaining life in all its forms. Only by examining our dependence on our environment, and the causes and consequences of our impacts on that environment, will we be able to fashion ways of living equitably and sustainably with other species. An important practical goal of environmental studies, therefore, is to provide effective cultural solutions to our environmental problems. Arriving at these solutions requires an understanding of the scientific, societal and ethical dimensions of the problems. Consequently, ideas and information from a wide array of fields such as public policy, economics, anthropology, history, philosophy, psychology, religion, ecology, biology and chemistry are important components of the Environmental Studies minor.
Though Centre students and faculty have a long history of interest and action in environmental questions, the academic minor in Environmental Studies was established relatively recently. The courses and programs in this area will continue to develop in the future in response to experiences of our students.
Why Pursue an Environmental Studies Minor?
The most direct reason for pursuing a minor in environmental studies is that the questions addressed in this field are critically important. Questions such as: "How might a community respond to the demographic and environmental impact of a new manufacturing company?" or "What happens to ecosystems and economic systems when introduced species become invasive?"
A second reason is that the courses and experiences that become part of your environmental studies minor are intrinsically interesting. Topics such as: "How does an ecosystem respond to changes in climate factors?" or "How have cultural attitudes toward nature influenced the literature of the society?"
And finally, a minor in environmental studies can help one prepare for graduate study and careers in a wide range of important fields. The minor is particularly appropriate for students planning on attending graduate school in environmental studies as well as those who wish to incorporate an environmental dimension into a professional career such as law, public health, or business. It can be combined with any of Centre's major programs.
The minor in environmental studies requires seven courses and is arranged in three levels. This structure is designed to provide a solid background in the fundamental principles of environmental studies, to allow the student some flexibility in tailoring the program to fit their particular interests, and finally to provide opportunity for the student to synthesize these concepts in a context related to the student's major program. Most often, the capstone independent study will be coordinated between the Environmental Studies program and the student's major program. Link to the Centre Online Catalog

3. Re: EOL Sun N1sps 31.12.2013807567 Jan 28, 2010 1:02 PM (in response to 807567)Hi,
i am sad to see the next good and innovative product dying at Sun during the last years (perhaps caused by the Oracle/Sun merge)....
So there is a remaining time of three years to get support for the product. I am not safisfied with the migration path for application provisioning delivered by Sun !
The OS / Firmware provisioning strategy is based on Ops Center. So there is a powerful tool to handle new OS versions or hardware platforms in the future.
But there is no concrete path to get SPS application provisioning to the next level.
I believe that no company that aligns thier longterm software provisioning strategy wants to migrate configuration plans and historical data stored in SPS to another tool wihthin the next three years to get a new "supported" platform for provisioning in the datacenter.
What are your ideas and thoughts to survive this dilemma ???
4. Re: EOL Sun N1sps 31.12.2013807567 Feb 10, 2010 11:59 AM (in response to 807567)Hi,

Editorial: Other sports are rightly off the hook
Daily Globe
It's good to know the Minnesota College Athletic Conference has taken the athletics programs other than football off probation, as reported in Wednesday's Daily Globe.
To us, it made absolutely no sense that Minnesota West athletes competing off the gridiron were essentially punished for an incident completely unrelated to them. That incident, which took place immediately following an Oct. 26 Bluejays football game in Brainerd, set off no shortage of speculation about the future of the community college's football program, as well as athletic offerings in general.
Of course, it may be argued that probation may be too strong a punishment for the football program. Accounts of what happened in Brainerd vary, but it has been consistently pointed out is that only a select few Minnesota West players were guilty parties with regard to the unfortunate postgame events. One could easily argue that these players — and not all of their teammates, never mind the future of a whole program — should be the only ones held accountable for their actions.
Nevertheless, the conference has now made a revised decision following an appeal by MW President Richard Shrubb. Meanwhile, while a decision on that appeal was awaited, an ad hoc committee worked to evaluate the institution's athletic program. And, during that time, we can't help but wonder how difficult it must have been to recruit potential student-athletes to the college with that sort of metaphorical dark cloud lingering over it.
That said, we're pleased that the business of athletics at MW can more or less proceed now as normal. While questions certainly remain, we're hopeful the Bluejays can enjoy successful seasons despite what appears to be a hasty decision by the conference that was wisely reconsidered.

The Island of Eleuthera is very inviting. It has the quaint settlements of Harbour Island (with its unique pink sandy beaches) and Spanish Wells.
While not busy serving as a backdrop to Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit models, the illustrious island of Eleuthera is busy serving up pink-ish beaches that will make your heart flutter, white picket fences that will tickle your fancy, blooming hibiscus flowers for your beloved one, and luscious super-sweet pineapples that will make your taste buds water (when in season of course).
Eleuthera has been a romantic hideaway for the British Royal Family for many years. This 110 mile long island is where HRH Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana spent a holiday in 1982 and where Prince Edward proposed to Sophie in 1999.
According to historical lore, the original settlers called it Eleuthera, after the Greek word for freedom. After you visit there you will know why.
Eleuthera Hotels & Resorts
Hut Pointe Inn Eleuthera: A Charming Eco-Friendly Resort
Hut Pointe Inn is a charming, family owned, eco-friendly resort featuring seven tastefully decorated suites on lush grounds near Governors Harbour on the island of Eleuthera, in the Bahamas. Historic Hut Pointe, was built in 1944 by the first Premier of the Bahamas (1964-1967), Sir Roland Symonette.
Harbour Island
Harbour Island — known as Briland by the locals — has been called "the best island beach in the world" and "the best sand beach in the world" by major travel publications yet it is still one of the best kept secrets in the Bahamas.
Less than four miles long and a half-mile wide, Harbour Island is a sleepy retreat with a unique charm and slightly rustic character. It's a special place for rest and relaxation. A place to unwind and slow down.

Studio Visit
"The Rat Is a Hero": In the Studio with Emily MayerBy Daisy Atterbury
Children are posing near Damien Hirst's large intestine. A young couple is engaged in a shoulder rub, the recipient with a bracing hand on what may be the sigmoid colon. Upstairs, caterers put flowers on round tables, and cameramen survey Tate-goers ignoring For the Love of God encased below in a black box. In the gift shop, The Incomplete Truth anamorphic cup and saucer is on sale for £2.50.
Between the Tate and Emily Mayer's Norfolk studio is a gap of British countryside that from a train car feels like an hour-and-a-half stretch of live cows. I sit down and immediately hear that Emily hates instant coffee and loves rats. The Norfolk Wildlife Trust celebrates the area's presence of weasels and more unusual species, but Emily prefers dogs to Chinese water deer. She has several dogs, some animate, some either frozen or cast in resin.
"The electricity board are coming at 8 A.M. tomorrow to cut trees," she had written in an e-mail the night before, "and our power will be off all day. I do have a generator in our woodland cabin, so maybe I could drag that in." It turns out that the water is out with the power, and the phones don't work. We still manage to have coffee.

Save for Retirement
Retirement savings is a top priority for many Savers. Saving now for retirement will ensure that you have enough money to enjoy a comfortable standard of living when you stop or reduce the amount of hours you work.
You may be able to save for retirement at your workplace through a 401(k) plan. These accounts have many benefits including direct deposit from your paycheck, which automates the savings process and may include matching funds. Unfortunately, many do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) plan. Learn more about saving at work though a 401(k) plan. Even if your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan, you can still save for retirement, by putting money in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Learn more about saving outside of work through an IRA.
And now you can start saving with myRA, a new retirement savings account from the U.S. Department of the Treasury for people who don't have the opportunity to save through work. It's a simple and affordable way to save for retirement, even if you only have a small amount to save. Learn more about myRA.
Keep in mind that slow and steady wins this race. Even modest monthly contributions to a retirement account for 30 to 40 years can, in part because of the miracle of compound interest, easily lead to an accumulation of several hundred thousand dollars.
The following pages will help you determine which retirement plans work for you and how to best take advantage of them.

It's not crazy to pay for an email account
Question: I want to move my email from Yahoo, but Gmail's privacy issues scare me. What other options do I have for a reliable address independent of my Internet provider?
Answer: Google's free, ad-supported email service has a lot going for it, but knowing that nobody besides your correspondents reads your messages isn't among them. Instead, automated software scans them to see what advertisements would match them best, with occasionally creepy results.
But opting out of Gmail may not be that easy: If you don't mind that ad system, it's the strongest of the big-name Web-mail services.
Take Yahoo, for example. I can see why this reader said he's had his fill with it; Yahoo still charges $19.99 a year for the ability to download messages to a computer, something you get for free from Google. And Gmail supports a smart standard called Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) that keeps your email in sync (including details like what messages you replied to, forwarded, or flagged for follow-up) among multiple computers and phones. Yahoo only supports the older Post Office Protocol (POP) system. That works, sort of, if you only download email to a single computer, but chaos ensues if you try to start answering messages from different machines.
Microsoft has put serious effort into Hotmail in the past few years, but it, too, fails to compete with Google by only offering POP access. And setting up an account at a personal domain name instead of the hotmail.com and live.com addresses the service hands out can get a little trickier than it is with Google, (where I get mail sent to my robpegoraro.com address).
(Update on 5/14/2012: Microsoft offers offline synchronization of mail plus contacts and calendars through its proprietary Exchange ActiveSync protocol; unlike IMAP, this only works in programs whose developers have signed a Microsoft licensing agreement. Yahoo, in turn, supports IMAP access on mobile devices and in the OS X Lion version of Apple's Mail program— but not any others.)
AOL's free mail service, in turn, allows IMAP and POP offline access but doesn't permit using your own domain name. Apple's otherwise-good iCloud mail service shares that inexplicable defect. Not everybody needs that feature, but not offering it suggests that a company is too set on stamping its brand on its users' email addresses.
As for the email account your Internet provider includes, you can usually forget it unless you never plan on using a different company for your online access, ever. Plus, most mass-market services offer horribly inferior e-mail products, with limited storage and POP-only access.
One better alternative is paying a third party for email-only service. Pobox, for example, charges $50 a year for an ad-free address with 10 gigabytes of storage and offline access by POP and IMAP and the option of using your own domain name. (Forward-only accounts, which relay mail sent to your personal address to the inbox of your choice, cost less.) Opera Software's FastMail.fm offers a similar deal for $39.95 a year.
I've heard good things about both services from trusted sources over the years. Neither has the most lucrative business model, but they've also survived two tech busts so far.
Your last option, if you've registered a personal domain name, is to see if your domain registrar offers a decent email service to go with it. It may not—I've seen some barely surpass what my own Internet providers have offered.
Tip: Don't let an old e-mail address collect dust
If you're leaving behind an old e-mail address, please take a moment to put it out of its misery: Either close it outright (ensuring that anybody who e-mails you there will get a "no such address" bounce) or set it up to forward to an address you check somewhat regularly.
Look, none of us are all that good at keeping contact lists current, and if people keep sending messages to an abandoned account, they won't know of their mistake. If you're not in a position to dispose of the old address properly, at least list your current contact info at a site most people can find you at, like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or a personal blog.
