How to Ship eBay Items Efficiently
In my experience, one of the absolute worst parts of reselling is having to pack and ship everything you sell. In many ways it's unskilled labor that separates you from being able to do more of what you love doing: hunting for new stuff, finding it, and most importantly, making money. You face the trials of finding an appropriate shipping box, packing materials to protect the item, getting postage, then actually getting the package to the carrier so it can be mailed.
Thankfully, you have someone who's sufficiently lazy and cheap to have already come up with some low-cost solutions to these problems.
Boxes and Packing Materials
Buy Online or Wholesale
Packing materials are a significant expense – don't underestimate them. If you go out and buy packing materials in retail stores (e.g., Target) on an incidental basis, you'll find that it's quite a significant cut of your profits, especially on "bubble-mailer" items: video games, small electronics, etc.
Whether you find a good local wholesaler or not, always check eBay for bulk deals on "light" shipping essentials (e.g. Scotch Bubble Wrap, for $3/50ft roll which runs $5-$10/roll retail).
Also, don't skimp on the tape: I recommend using Uline Clear Industrial Shipping Tape with a Uline Tape Gun. Crappy tape is harder to apply quickly and makes your life more miserable than it already is.
Scavenge Materials
My current apartment building has a cardboard-only dumpster. To me, this = free boxes, and even better, free packing materials (cardboard can be used as spacing/padding material in lieu of popcorn, shredded paper, etc.). Give dumpster diving a shot, especially for really big boxes that can often cost $7-15 to purchase. Checking behind retail stores is also a good idea. I went behind Guitar Center in search of a box to ship a guitar in and, unsurprisingly, found one. If you feel that property issues may be at play (in some places dumpster diving is illegal), simply ask an employee. Usually, the minimum-wage guy will give you clearance and you're good to go.
Free USPS Flat Rate Boxes
Being that you will primarily use USPS to ship your items anyway, you'll be relieved to know that USPS will ship you free boxes to be used for USPS shipping services.
One such convenient service is the "flat rate" Priority Mail service which delivers to anywhere in the U.S. for a fixed price, irrespective of weight (though it has a maximum of 70 pounds.) The cost of this service for a small box is around $5, medium $10, and large $16.
UPS and FedEx also have some free packaging options, but they are considerably less useful on a regular basis.
Bubble mailers and other convenience packaging
Packaging stores also offer specialized shipping materials that can often simplify the packing process. My favorite time-saver is the classic bubble mailer: a large envelope lined with bubble wrap on the inside. They're perfect for mailing books, DVDs, video games, cables, and even small gadgets safely. Even better, they can be easily purchased in bulk. My favorite bubble mailer is 8.5×11", and it costs me about .35/mailer – well worth the packaging time and suffering it saves me.
Time and Money-Savers
PayPal Multi-Order Shipping
This service is truly the super-convenience to end all inconveniences in the shipping process on eBay. When your PayPal account is linked to your eBay account, PayPal automatically gathers all information from your sold items that have received a payment, and conveniently aggregates it into a shipping tool that allows you to print shipping labels straight from your computer. Postage costs are directly deducted from your PayPal account.
The tool allows you to choose your shipping service, select the item weight, add insurance and signature confirmation, and even alter the shipping address. However, PayPal automatically draws this customization from the listing if it is provided eBay-side, so if you take care of these things when you list the item, you've saved yourself some additional time.
Know your Carriers and Services
Unfortunately for the government, USPS isn't the only game in town. It typically has the best rates for small items, certainly, and will provide the bulk of your shipping services. But a great many things which are valuable are not quite small or so convenient. It's important to see how much shipping your items will cost with different carriers, taking into account value-added services included in the price (confirmation, insurance, etc.) and delivery time. In some cases, depending on the weight, dimension, and location of a package, USPS may offer inferior rates or delivery time.
Consider the example of the infamous Nacho Cheese Machine. The customer wanted it within 4 days guaranteed. I had to pack this puppy in a 30x20x20" box with a final weight of 27lb. USPS was going to charge me in excess of $50 for Parcel Post because of the ridiculous dimension of the box (other services, like Priority weren't even available, and I don't think I would have wanted to see the price anyway). UPS ground was in the ballpark of $40-50, and didn't guarantee delivery within four days. But FedEx, on the other hand – a service which I thought I'd never use – charged me a mere $32 for 2 day delivery time (and $100 of free insurance).
The moral: know the comparative advantages of each service. How do you do this? Pull open the shipping calculator for each service and try different things out. You might be surprised, as I was with FedEx.
Carrier Pickup
Now, not only do you not have to buy your postage at the old grumbling Post Office, but you don't even have to drop off your packages there. You can order a carrier pickup directly off the USPS website, and your regular mailperson will come by and pick up your packages. UPS and FedEx offer similar services.
No, not overseas, but locally. By outsource, what I really mean is hire someone else to do your packaging for you. That's what I do, anyway. To start, consider friends or family members who need some money and offer them hourly compensation or on a per-package basis. When you're feeling more bold, post a job listing on craigslist, or search for someone offering personal assistant services. Naturally, trust is an important issue, especially if you're dealing with expensive items that can be stolen; carefully measure the character of those who you hire and follow all of the common sense guidelines when using a service like Craigslist. Of course, all of this should be done in full compliance with applicable labor laws.
You should spend some time learning how to properly package items so that you can teach whomever you hire. After that, it's really a matter of the time you save by not having to package yourself being worth more than what you pay. Consider paying higher amounts to someone you can trust and count on, as this is invaluable. Someone available and hard-working will ensure your packaging goals each week are met, giving you much greater capacity, as boxed items are much less cluttering and use space more efficiently. Then, come shipping time, you simply pull the box on the shelf from looking at its SKU, read off its weight, and print a label.
Considering that the value of your time that could be spent hunting and listing is, with proper experience, at least double $10-$15 per hour, this can really open up your business if your inventory is constrained by capacity. More importantly, you no longer need to spend 15 minutes hunting for a box that will fit the god-damn Dora the Explorer TV.

Rexall Place (map it)
7424 118 Avenue NW
Edmonton, AB T5B 4M9
Year Opened: 1974
Capacity: 16,000
There are no tickets available at this time.
Official Review by Jim Flannery, Stadium Journey Regional Correspondent
Since the Oilers arrived in Edmonton in 1972, junior hockey has been a tough sell. The original Oil Kings, founded in 1950, moved to Portland in 1976 following steadily waning attendance.
But after a couple aborted attempts to revive junior hockey, the newly incarnated Oil Kings seem to have finally found their place in the community.
The Oil Kings returned to Edmonton for the 2007-08 season and have been playing� and succeeding�ever since. Owned and operated by the Katz Group, which also owns the NHL�s Oilers, the Oil Kings are settled in at Rexall Place, drawing good crowds, and winning, big-time.
In fact, the Oil Kings won the Ed Chynoweth Cup for the 2011-12 season, as top team in the WHL and went to the Memorial Cup as the Western representatives. Going into the 2012-13 season, the Oil Kings are looking as good or better, so big things are likely to happen again at Rexall.
Rexall itself has had a number of renovations and upgrades in its almost 40 years of existence, so it remains a solid facility for taking in a hockey game.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The concessions stands have all the usual stadium goodies at typical stadium prices; a hot dog or a small pop will run you $4, a burger costs $4.75. The poutine, which is quite tasty, is $7.
There are also a couple of Boston Pizza stands at Rexall. If you'd prefer a slice of pizza instead of a dog, $6.25 will hook you up.
The beer selection is limited to Molson Canadian or Coors Light, which is available on tap at every concession stand ($8 each). There are also a couple of specialty drink counters with a slightly larger selection of adult beverages, but the options remain limited.
Rexall Place closes all but a handful of seats in the upper bowl for Oil Kings games, which puts the bulk of the crowd into the lower bowl. Keeping things much more cozy creates a much more lively atmosphere in the stands than you might otherwise get if you had 6,000-7,000 people spread out amongst all 16,000 seats in the building.
Things are nevertheless fairly subdued for the most part, with bursts of enthusiasm, cheers and jeers at the right moments.
Things are further perked up with the regular appearance in the stands of Louie the Lion, the Oil Kings team mascot, as well as regular giveaways to the loudest members of the crowd.
Overall, things are fun and engaging at Rexall.
The neighborhood surrounding Rexall Place is pretty empty. To the west is a residential community with not much beyond houses in it. There really isn't much else around. Directly across the street to the east from Rexall is the Coliseum Inn which includes the Flow Lounge and Grill and the Diesel Ultra Lounge on the main floor. Just south of that you'll find the Fireside Bar and Grill, which makes a pretty decent pizza. But aside from those places, if you're looking for some pre- or post-game dining or entertainment, you'll be traveling elsewhere.
The Oil Kings are drawing about 6,000 fans per game in the early stages of the 2012- 13 season, which is quite good for a WHL team. Being a Canadian crowd (and perhaps being a little hockey-starved during the latest NHL lockout), these fans are hardcore and they know their hockey. They know when a good play has been made, they know when the refs have made a questionable call; they know when to applaud and when to boo.
As a result, hanging out in the stands with these people is a good time. You're in amongst an engaged, if moderately sedate, crowd.
Although Rexall Place is tucked up in Edmonton's northeast and well away from most everything, the good news is that roads and city transit are all quite good for bringing fans to the arena.
With a crowd that is a lot smaller than you might find at an Oilers game, the parking lots at Northlands Park have plenty of space to accommodate the vehicle traffic. On the downside, the $12 price for parking seems pretty steep for a relatively remote location.
Taking the light rail transit is therefore a very good option. There is a stop right outside Rexall and the train can take you the length of the city. At $3 per person, this is a cost effective and easy way to get to and from games.
Rexall's concourse is the biggest giveaway that this building is on the old side. While it might have been considered adequate when the stadium opened, much of it feels narrow and tight compared to more modern facilities. Fortunately, with Rexall Place filled to far less than capacity for the Oil Kings, this is less of a problem than it might otherwise be if the place was sold out.
Oil Kings tickets run anywhere from $15 to $30, a bargain compared to Oilers tickets. They're basically all good seats, especially since virtually all the available seats are in the lower bowl.
For the more extravagant out there, it is possible to rent an executive suite capable of housing 12-24 fans. Better start collecting from your friends now, because these suites will cost you $1500-$3000, a substantial step up from the regular seats.
At the end of the day though, you really can't go wrong with the price for an Oil Kings game.
As noted above, you can expect some giveaways during the game and the kiddies will be distracted and amused by Louie the Lion. Add in a couple on-ice contests between periods and there are a number of activities and goings-on above and beyond the game itself.
Out in the concourse you'll find a fully appointed Oilers/Oil Kings store where you can find all manner of souvenirs, hats, shirts and jerseys.
Taken all in all, junior hockey at Rexall is an entertaining experience, particularly with the Oil Kings as strong a franchise as they are now. Heading out to an Oil Kings game is well worth the time.

What do you guys think of Josh Smith?
He's athletic, plays great defense, and can finish around the rim. He would be a perfect fit with Hibbert.

text: The Dance of the Inle Lake Fishermen. When I shot this recently in Myanmar I thought if they were doing this kind of fishing on a lake in the States, people would buy a ticket to watch the performance. These fishermen have turned their craft into an art form. Like many traditional lifestyles this one may also soon disappear, sped on its way to obsolescence by prefab boats, better paying jobs, polluted water, changing climate, and a dwindling fish population. Inle Lake, the 2nd largest lake in Myanmar, is a freshwater shallow lake, about 7 to 12 feet deep over much of it's almost 45 square mile. It's also home to an unusual style of farming built on floating gardens. But this video is just about the unique fishermen of Inle Lake. So enjoy the show and you don't have to buy a ticket to watch the performance.

Include Dental coverage as part as Medical coverage for Sjogrens patients.
This petition is intended to give you a brief summary of Sjögren's syndrome, associated oral manifestations and justification of the need for dental care.
Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic immune mediated disease of exocrine tissues, such as salivary and lacrimal glands resulting in oral and ocular dryness. The oral manifestations of Sjögren's syndrome include reduced quantity and quality of saliva, increased incidence of caries, dental decay and loss of teeth, mucosal atrophy, salivary gland enlargement, recurrent parotitis, and greater frequency of candidiasis and other infections.
Even though some medications stimulate saliva secretion, such as cevimeline (Evoxac™) and pilocarpine (Salagen™) the mainstay in the treatment of patients with Sjögren's syndrome is dental care.
Patients suffering from Sjögren's syndrome require meticulous dentist-guided care, such as frequent visits to a dentist and prescription strength fluoride, to prevent and treat any complications associated with the disease.
The complexity of the Sjögren's syndrome requires multidisciplinary care by dentist, ophthalmologist, rheumatologist and primary care provider.
Include Dental coverage as part as Medical coverage for Sjogrens patients.

LONDON, May 30 (Reuters) - European shares steadied in thin trading on Monday, with the prospect of a U.S. interest rate hike coming sooner rather than later prompting investors to avoid strong bets.
U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said late on Friday that the central bank should raise interest rates "in the coming months" if the economy picks up as expected and jobs continue to be generated, bolstering the case for a rate increase in June or July.
The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index was flat by 0710 GMT, while Germany's DAX was up 0.07 percent and France's CAC fell 0.1 percent.
Trading volumes were expected to be thin as the London and New York markets are closed for a public holiday.
Dutch mail operator PostNL rose 5 percent following Belgian rival BPost's failed attempt to take over the company. The two companies said late on Friday they had discussed a friendly public offer by Bpost for all of the shares of PostNL, but had eventually failed to agree terms for a deal.

One of the first intake of teenage cadet-midshipmen to enter the new Royal Australian Naval College, in 1913, John Collins was early recognised as a brilliant officer with remarkable gifts. As captain of the light cruiser HMAS Sydney in the Mediterranean in 1940, Collins and his ship achieved fame, surviving 88 actions without the loss of a single man. Appointed Commodore, Collins won further distinction in the battles to save Singapore and Java and became in 1944 the first Australian - and Australian-trained - officer to command Australia's naval forces, surviving cruel wounds from kamikase attack off the Philippines to become the first RANC officer to serve as Chief of Naval Staff (1948-55) and to reach the high rank of Vice-Admiral. He had become the Navy's indispensable man and his success continued after retirement when he served as a popular Australian high commissioner to New Zealand. Sir John Collins lived to the age of ninety after a life that has few parallels in naval history. This biography, written with access to his personal papers, is fitting tribute to one of the most respected public figures in Australia's life.

EBay Inc. reported solid second-quarter results on Wednesday but chief executive John Donahoe warned of economic "headwinds" in the second half of the year from Europe and South Korea.
Chief financial officer (CFO) Bob Swan told analysts that eBay's full-year results will come in at the low end of the company's forecast range, helping to send shares of the e-commerce giant down more than 5% in after-hours trading.
"It's not a quarter in which they absolutely crushed it," said Ron Josey, an analyst at JMP Securities. "They are doing well, but people were hoping for more."
Second-quarter net income was $822 million, or 63 cents a share, versus $730 million, or 56 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. Revenue rose 14% to $3.88 billion. EBay was expected to earn 63 cents a share on revenue of $3.89 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"Macroeconomic headwinds in Europe and Korea will continue to be a challenge in the second half of the year," Donahoe said. "But our core businesses are strong."
EBay lagged rival Amazon.com Inc. for several years, but Donahoe has led a turnaround that focuses on mobile shoppers, international expansion and tie-ups with local physical stores. EBay is spending heavily on these initiatives, and hopes they will fuel growth in coming years.
EBay's third-quarter forecasts for profit of 61 to 63 cents a share on revenue of $3.85 billion to $3.95 billion were weaker than expected. The company stuck to its full-year guidance which calls for earnings of $2.7 to $2.75 a share on revenue of $16 billion to $16.5 billion.
But CFO Swan said results will likely come in at the low-end of those ranges, with "modest" revenue acceleration from the first half of the year to the second.
Wall Street has been worried about the second half of 2013.
"This puts a lot of pressure on eBay's fourth quarter, which has to be good for the company to meet its full-year forecasts," Josey said.
EBay shares fell 6% to $53.94 in after-hours trading on Wednesday.
E-commerce growth slows
EBay and Amazon have cited Europe's weak economy as a drag during this year's first quarter. The situation did not improve in the second quarter, according to eBay executives. Amazon, the world's largest Internet retailer, reports second-quarter results next week.
Last year, when Europe's economy weakened, e-commerce growth rates stayed above 10% as consumers looked to stretch their money by searching online for cheaper prices, Donahoe told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday.
In 2013, as Europe's economy enters a second difficult year, disposable incomes have been hit so much that even e-commerce has been dented, with growth rates in the single digits now, Donahoe said.
In South Korea, e-commerce growth rates are falling to about 4% this year from 9% or 10% last year, he added.
Still, eBay's Marketplaces business performed better in the US and PayPal is still growing quickly.
EBay reported second-quarter gross merchandise volume, or GMV, of $7.3 billion in the US, excluding auto sales. That was up 16% from the same period a year earlier.
Doug Anmuth, an analyst at JPMorgan, was expecting US GMV of $7.27 billion in the latest period.
PayPal, eBay's online payments division, reported total payments volume, or TPV, of $43 billion in the second quarter, up 24% from a year ago.
PayPal takes a small cut of each transaction, so this is a closely watched number on Wall Street. Anmuth was expecting TPV of $42.54 billion in the latest period.
The volume of transactions PayPal processed for merchants off eBay.com, a business known as Merchant Services, jumped 29% in the second quarter. That was the fastest growth since 2011, according to Gil Luria, an analyst at Wedbush Securities.
"The main concern going into the quarter was a slowdown at PayPal, so these numbers are encouraging," Luria said.

Orgasm is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, shared by both men and women usually following sexual activities like for example having sex or enjoying masturbation.
Female Orgasm
A female orgasm primarily caused by physical and mental sexual stimulation is preceded by erection of the clitoris and increased flow of pussy juice. Then the clitoris moves inward under the clitoral hood, and the labia minora become darker. As the orgasm becomes imminent, the outer third of the vagina tightens and narrows, while overall the vagina lengthens and dilates and also becomes congested from engorged soft tissue. The uterus then experiences muscular contractions. A woman experiences full orgasm when her uterus, vagina, anus, and pelvic muscles start a series of rhythmic contractions. The majority of women consider these contractions to be very pleasurable. Unlike men, most women do not ejaculate and thus have a very short period to recover and can experience a second orgasm soon after the first. Some women can even follow this with additional orgasms in rapid succession. This is known as having multiple orgasms. After the initial orgasm, subsequent climaxes usually are more intensive or more pleasurable as the stimulation accumulates. Not all women can experience an orgasm. Some women can experience nipple orgasm. Some women do ejaculate a liquid during to orgasm.
Male Orgasm
Male orgasm is reached after direct stimulation of his penis. This stimulation can be caused by sexual sexual intercourse or masturbation, basically any sexual stimulation of the penis may eventually result in ejaculation and orgasm. During orgasm, a male experiences fast rhythmic contractions of the anal sphincter, the prostate, and the muscles of the penis. These contractions typically force cum to be expelled through the penis's opening through typically 3 to 5 'loads'. The process generally takes from three to ten seconds, and is usually considered highly pleasurable. Unlike females, following ejaculation, a man cannot achieve another orgasm during the following refractory period usually of several minutes up to hours.
A persons who is addicted to orgasms is called orgasmoholic

Lord Umbacano asks the Hero to retrieve the Crown of the Ayleids the Crown of Nenalata from Herminia Cinna. Cinna lives in the Elven Gardens District, but one can find her in Green Emperor Way too.
Herminia will not give the crown to the Hero since it has hidden magical powers that will prove too dangerous in the hands of Umbacano. However, she tells them where to find another Ayleid crown that Umbacano might think is the correct crown. This other crown is in the ruins of Lindai, for which she gives them a key to and marks it on the map.
At this point one can either be good and get the other crown or be bad and steal the correct crown from Herminia's house on the second floor. If going after the second crown, head over to Lindai and go through the rooms in the ruin until one reaches a large areea. The crown is in a small Ayleid cask, grab it and the two Varla Stones while there and get out of the ruin.
If one decide to give him the Crown of Lindai he will comment that the markings on the crown are somewhat different to how his reference books describe but nevertheless he will mistake it for the real thing, or if one give Umbacano the correct crown he accepts it straight away and either way, asks them to escort him through the ruins of Nenalata in three days.
After waiting for three days, Umbacano appears at the ruins along with Claude Maric, he will say don't worry as they are now on the same side. The Hero must now escort them through the ruin.
It is recommended that one tell him to wait or ignore him and then clear the area before escorting him, since he dies easily and the enemies are hard to kill. There are both Liches, skeletons and other undead to fight.
Once arriving at the bottom of the ruin, Umbacano gives a little speech and then this opens a door to a large throne room. In here he sits on the throne then the storyline changes depending on which crown they gave him earlier on:
Crown of NenalataEdit
Umbacano will put on the crown and yell out in elven tongue, at that point the four dark welkynd stones lining the room will transform him into the King of Nenalata and he will turn rogue, also sections of wall around the room will slide down and skeletons or liches if one is level 18 or higher, will come out to aid Umbacano.
He has a leveled staff at this point which makes disposing of him that little bit trickier. The staircase they came down from will have lowered making escape impossible in that direction and they will have to run through the throne room and out the rear before making the way out of the ruin.
Crown of LindaiEdit
Umbacano will put on the crown and yell out in elven tongue, at that point the four dark welkynd stones will destroy the crown of their hated rival, killing Umbacano in the process.
Once this happens the skeletons/liches will appear out of the now lowered sections of wall and the stairs will lower, so they will have to use the alternate way out of the ruin.
|Journal Entry
Umbacano has hired me to obtain an Ayleid Crown he wants from Herminia Cinna, a rival collector. He paid me in advance; whatever I do not use to purchase the crown I can keep as my fee.
Herminia Cinna refused to sell me the Crown of Nenalata that Umbarcano wants. She hinted that it can be used to access potent magical powers that would dangerous in the wrong hands.
Herminia Cinna gave me the key to the royal burial vault of Lindai, which she believes holds a similar Ayleid Crown. She suggested that Umbacano would not know the difference between the Crown of Lindai and the Crown of Nenalata, since he has never seen either one.
I need to bring Umbacano one of the Ayleid Crowns, either by stealing the Crown of Nenalata from Heminia Cinna, or by recovering the Crown of Lindai as Herminia Cinna suggested.
I have found the Ayleid Crown of Lindai, as Herminia Cinna said. Now to return to Umbacano to complete my task.
I gave Umbacano the Ayleid Crown of Lindai, as Herminia Cinna suggested. He did not appear to be aware that it was not the Ayleid Crown that he had asked me to retrieve.
Umbacano has asked me to meet him at the Ayleid ruin of Nenalata. He wants me to help him reach the throne room so that he can complete his research on the last king of the Ayleids.
I met Umbacano outside the ruins of Nenalata. I need to guide him safely to the throne room.
Umbacano was horribly destroyed in Nenalata when he declared himself King of the Ayleids using the crown of the rival city of Lindai. Now to escape the wrath of the undead denizens of Nenalata!
- When Umbacano starts the incantation to gain entry to the throne chamber, one can reverse direction and jump from the lowering stairs up to where they came from. And thus backtrack through the ruins without fighting the undead, or one can wait up there and kill them from a distance. If one decides to not kill them, one will forgo the loot from Umbacano.
- The incantation chanted by Umbacano to gain entry to the throne chamber is "Av Auri-El ye Tamri-El dellevoy an Arpen Aran tarnabye!", which translates roughly as "By Auriel and Tamriel grant the noble King passage!". When he ascends the throne, he says "Av Sunna Tam Riel arctavoy an Arpen Aran malaburo!" (By blessed Tamriel acknowledge the Noble King (in your) loving-vassalage).
- Since Nothing You Can Possess is a nod to Indiana Jones, it is likely that Secrets of the Ayleids is a reference to Secret of the Incas, which was an inspiration for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Of the two crowns, it seems more logical to give Umbacano the Crown of Nenalata, either way they can recover the crown from his corpse after he dies, but the Crown of Lindai will be irreparably destroyed, if used in Nenalata. If one give him the Crown of Nenalata, simply go and grab the Crown of Lindai later, both have some useful enchantments so take care when deciding which crown to use.
- However, note that the crown of Lindai is impossible to repair, making it an ideal object to level armorer skill in no time as one will use hammers without effect. (patched)
- If one stole the Crown of Nenalata and gave it to Umbacano, it will not count as stolen after looting it from Umbacano's corpse.
- When he first gives the quest, if one say that one is not interested twice, he will contract someone else, presumably Claude Maric, to "obtain" the Crown of Nenalata. If they then talk to him again, he will offer the job of escorting him to Nenalata, along with the Breton. They can then clear the ruin, escort him down there and claim the crown from his corpse.

General Assembly News
Southern Bunun mobilizes staff and resources to help storm victims
Reported by Chen Yi-hsuan
Written by Lydia Ma
Taiwan experienced rainstorms in the beginning of June, which washed away many roads in Namasia and Taoyuan regions in the outskirts of Kaohsiung City and forced about 400 residents to evacuate to Fengshan region. PCT's South Bunun Presbytery, whose local congregations were displaced and suffered many losses during Typhoon Morakot, quickly mobilized staff and resources and set up a coordination center.
The presbytery's general secretary Rev. Ibu said that many pastors had already formed small groups and visited the places these residents were staying at in Fengshan to help out and lead worship services. As for the few residents who remain in Namasia and Taoyuan watching over their homes, they are doing well. She added that she hoped the general public would strive to understand why some indigenous residents are keen to stay at home, instead of laying undue blame on them.
Heavy rains beginning from June 9 has flooded homes and churches in South Bunun, Tsou, Paiwan, Atayal, and Eastern Paiwan presbyteries. Ibu added that a coordination was created very soon after the storm began so that churches could contact their presbyteries and receive help as well as send out prayer requests.
A helicopter had been dispatched on June 13 to help evacuate elderly residents and young children at Meilan reservation, while some residents from Namasia and Taoyuan stayed in a safe place not far from home. Asked about why so many indigenous refuse to leave their homes, Ibu said that it was because they wanted to protect their homes. She added that residents fear that if they evacuate, the government will no longer see the need to fix broken mountain roads, which will eventually force indigenous peoples to abandon their homes permanently.
She added that most of the general public is unaware of indigenous peoples' lifestyles and their customs, and therefore, tend to blame the latter for wasting government and social resources. However, this blame is unwarranted "It's our home," she said. "We know how to live with the mountains and our ancestors have braved many storms before. Indigenous peoples have their own way of life that works for them."
"Is it our fault that mountain roads are subpar, forests are exploited, and water is illegally diverted across regions?" She implored that the government reflect on what is happening to many mountainous regions in Taiwan and find out the root of the problem instead of addressing superficial issues and blaming indigenous peoples for living in dangerous areas.
A YouTube clip recorded by Nansalu residents on June 12 was circulated recently. In this video, residents told everyone that they were doing well and they still had some food stored up though the roads leading to their homes had been washed away by the storm. Nansalu borough chief especially thanked the PCT and World Vision for their help in building a temporary shelter for them to take refuge when needed, which is located not too far from the reservation.

Food - I'm not very adventurous about the food that I eat. I like seafood-fish and shrimp, spaghetti, pizza - there's not much I won't try. Ok-no bugs, octopus or squid.
Movies-I enjoy comedies, action movies, mysteries. I take my grandchildren to see Disney movies--ok I'll admit it. I like those too!
I like TV too. Survivor is my all-time favorite show. I watch crime shows all the time-NCIS, Castle, CSI in all its forms. Also watch various shows on PBS.

How can an item be on your credit twice, once under the original credit grantor and then under a collection agency? How does this affect the deletion date?
Dear NTK,
Your credit report is a credit history. That history documents the life of a debt. As a result, it will show both the original lender and any subsequent collection accounts. However, they are not seen as two separate debts. Instead, a collection account is recognized as a continuation of the original debt.
The account you had with your bank should be listed as charged off. It could also show that it has been sold or transferred to a collection agency. Charged off, transferred or sold are considered a final status, essentially the same as closed. As a result, that account entry is no longer an active debt. However, it will continue to appear on your credit report to accurately reflect the account history.
The collection account now represents the active debt. Usually, a collection account indicates that it was purchased from or transferred from the original lender.
The collection agency may then sell the account to another collection agency. The first collection account then would be reported as sold or transferred, and the new, active collection account would be added to the credit history.
Because a collection account is treated as a continuation of the original debt, it will be deleted at the same time as the original account. The original account and subsequent collection accounts will be deleted seven years from the original delinquency date. The original delinquency date is the date of the first missed payment after which the account was never again current.
The collection agency is required by law to carry over that original delinquency date from the first account and report it to the credit reporting company. That ensures the collection account is deleted at the correct time.
Thanks for asking.
The "Ask Experian" team

Image Collections: Photographs
dealers' archives | rare collections | history | collection research | hours & information
The Department of Image Collections serves as a vital component of the vast resources for art-historical research at the National Gallery, including the library, vertical files, curatorial records and files, Gallery archives, and the Gallery's art collection itself. The Department of Image Collections is composed of more than ten million images representing the entire history of Western art, from the caves of Lascaux to the wall drawings of Sol LeWitt. A limited number of non-Western subjects are also included. Photographs are generally acquired through purchases from museums or photographers, gifts from scholars, and exchanges with other institutions. Because of this significant range of sources and the Archives' long history at the Gallery, the collection documents not only the history of art but also its reproduction through photomechanical and reproductive prints and a wide span of photographic processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century.
Mrs. Richter seated in the Richter home
A National Gallery press release of August 4, 1943, emphasizes the Richter Archive's importance for scholarship in Washington, specifically for research on the National Gallery of Art's holdings. The acquisition was particularly timely because of growing concern for art and architecture lost as a result of World War II. The Gallery's statement points out that "the photographs...will be an invaluable record of many works of art from great European museums now either destroyed or dispersed. The photographs of paintings in private collections, to which Mr. Richter had access, are in many cases unique, and may be of great assistance in establishing the rightful ownership of works of art when the war is over."
The Richter Archive proved to be such a useful resource that plans were announced in 1970 to establish a Photographic Archive at the National Gallery with the Richter gift as its core. Through a generous start-up grant and the promise of continued support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, Alessandro "Sandrino" Contini-Bonacossi was hired in September 1970 as the Archives' first curator.1 Contini-Bonacossi had previously served as a curator at the Kress Foundation and quickly began the task of amassing what their vice president called, "one of the great photographic collections of the world."2 The press deemed the collection, "The World's Largest Photo Album."3

Heading the Archives until his death in 1975, Contini-Bonacossi was succeeded by Ruth Philbrick, who came to the National Gallery after many years at the Epstein Archive at the University of Chicago. She continued to strengthen the Archives by seeking out notable commercial and private collections. Among the numerous important collections acquired in her tenure are the René Huyghe and Venturi/Rewald archives, the Witt and Conway Libraries on microfiche, and images from Art International and the Munich Central Collecting Point.Mrs. Philbrick retired in 2004 at which point the Photographic Archives and Slide Library were merged, with Gregory P.J. Most as the head.
The Photographic Archives has also been shaped by other departments at the National Gallery, especially the curatorial offices. One result of such reciprocal relationships is the exhibition archive, which contains photographs, transparencies, and negatives documenting objects from every exhibition in the Gallery's history.4
The Archives' Samuel H. Kress Conservation Grant was inaugurated in 2000, making it possible to bring on board a conservator to survey the collection, conserve its rare materials, and recommend improvements for housing and safeguarding its resources.
The Photographic Archives now consists of nearly three million black-and-white photographs and negatives and seven million microform images. Thanks to the devotion of curators and staff as well as the ongoing support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the collection is one of the most extensive of images of art and architecture in the world.
1His uncle (of the same name) had served as an art advisor and dealer to Samuel H. Kress.
2Letter of May 6, 1970, to J. Carter Brown, then director of the National Gallery of Art, from Mary M. Davis, then vice president of the Kress Foundation.
3San Francisco Chronicle, October 23, 1970.
4This collection does not, however, include installation shots from the exhibitions; these are preserved in Gallery Archives.

Oh my gosh yes! I'm soo excited for that! :D
June 28th, 2013 5:00 PMHouse
Hah, I'm also glad you have no problems with it!
And of course! I love sincere words, especially when they're yours! c:
I see, so you complete each other! =P And nooo I don't think getting back to "normal" would be particularly good because it'd mean the main issues in the country would be still here! I think the media's also only showing the violence part there and that's not the point of the protests, it's just an unfortunate thing that's inevitable...
Ahah, but we almost write letters to each other through here no? Only they're faster! But it'd still be super cool for we to send real letters to each other, mhm c:
What you said was right, it's just that looked it up on the internet to know more about it and it said "stinky tofu". Stinky and smelly mean the same, really! Oh boy, it'd be a challenge then! We'll see what happens when I get near it - but if your sister said that... I dunno anymore!
Mhm, both before he became the Batman and during his 70+ years of Batman-ing. Though for a long time the comics where quite campy and didn't present the world in a serious and dark manner. Until, Marina, A Death in The Family. That was what made Batman start to get called "The Dark Knight". I think maybe the comics would be comical to Joker, but I'm not sure if that distorted and dark world would make anyone sane laugh xD. So you really do take an interest in all kinds of fictional world!
What do you mean it isn't a lot? I find it great that you both know how to do those things! For example, most people don't even know that webpages are made of essentially text! And if you know HTML and CSS (which I'm pretty sure you do too!), it means you can create pretty sites and templates! I can't do those things properly because I'm colorblind, so I always need to check out some sites on color combinations c: Don't worry about not knowing how to play an instrument (yet), you're already super-duper awesome! If you did, we'd have an awesomeness overload and you know that always makes universes explode!
Aawww! But what if I want to be cuddling with you all the time? Can we do that too?
Aaah I see! So you must be one very creative woman! c: Do you mostly read stuff or do you like to write too? Animal Encyclopedias sure are scientifc! Haha, you're a really great person, you know? c: Aaah I have a friend who specializes in dreams, I gotta be careful not to tell about you to him otherwise he'll be poking me 24/7 to meet you! Haha!
My dog acts so much like a human it's unreal xD. I see, I see! I haven't owned many dogs, I think this may be my second one or even first one! My dad didn't like to have domestic animals -aside from turtles, fishes,that sort of stuff -, so I didn't have much contact with cats and/or dogs (my parents divorced recently, hence he doesn't live in my house anymore). Ah I also pity pitbulls for that! But sometimes they scare me! There's a pitbull in a house nearby and he gets so angry when people or dogs pass by that he almost jumps the fence he's in! ;-; Once he managed to jump the fence and attacked a dog.
Mhm! Both my mom and dad never nag me, which can be considered kinda odd. But I dunno, I'm me so I don't think proper teen-parents relationships apply to me very well! =P It's great to have a friendly relationship with your parents mhm!
Oh no, you just got a really rare memory capability! It's a great thing! Hm... You know what? Mhm, I want all of those! And maybe even tell me some of your favorite bands too! c: I want to know eeeeeeeeeeverything about you!
Hm I see! Me and my brother are very different! He's still quite young, a 9 year old, but you can already see he's going to differ to me even more in many aspects when he grows up. We also "fight" daily. I guess that's part of being a sibling though xD
Wow! But Marina you shouldn't be so pressured! You're going to do great at it, so great the guys at Cambridge are going to be like "Oh lord, I think this girl should study here!". I think that at the very last, you'll do okay at it, lady. You seem so worried about it and it's not like you're wasting your time c:
And yaaaaaaay for the 3DS! I also have to still buy myself one! I don't even have a DS anymore, since the last one broke. It stayed alive for 6 years, it was already time for him to take a break, I suppose. Is a 3DS also super expensive there?
Aw you're so kind Marina! <3 I'd also wish you a very happy birthday but you've joined here after it this year :c It's okay though, I can save up to buy you a gift next year!
That's great then! *hugs* c:
Well... None, really. I've never been much of a poster and I don't think I ever will be. I've been here actually for 4 years and I've only posted 10 times if you join the post count in this account with the other account. I'm not really playing pokémon lately either, so I lost a substantial quantity of my interest in it. The main reason I'm still here is because of the people I can talk to! If I had left, I'd never meet you and I wouldn't be so happy! c:
June 28th, 2013 1:36 PMSweets Witch
Oh man, don't get me started on the parts I liked. We'll be here for days.
Okay so the first one is actually really, really subtle and I didn't even notice it until someone on Tumblr pointed it out, but it's how Maid-chan looks kind of like one of Ryuunosuke's old friends. I wish that there had been a little more on his past to confirm whether or not he based Maid-chan off of her and there might have been a little note of it in the novels, but most of them are untranslated so I haven't bothered to investigate.
I was also a huge fan of anything that dealt with Misaki and Jin, whether together or individually. They broke my heart so many times but I loved them so much that it didn't even matter. I saw a lot of myself in the selfish side of Jin and it was a really sobering experience.
Of course, I liked Rita and Ryuunosuke. They were so cute together and I'm glad they got a lot of screen time together towards the end. What about you? What parts did you like?
June 28th, 2013 10:01 AMSheep
I love Ed, Envy, and Izumi too <3 In fact.. I love all of them, they're such good characters!
And ohhh someone recommendes Karneval to me so I need to watch that. Also gotta watch Attack on Titan. I'm so out of the loop with the new anime omg >.<
June 28th, 2013 9:33 AMSheep
Yeahh FMA is amazing. *__* But I prefer Brotherhood baha. What other anime have you seen?!
June 28th, 2013 6:12 AMSweets Witch
Oh sweet lord. Anybody who likes SnO is a perfect person. I'm so glad that somebody out there is excited for it as well. Somebody on Tumblr posted a couple of raw pages from the latest chapter and seeing them destroyed me inside because it's the one series that I'm completely emotionally invested in.
And I totally agree that Sakurasou is underrated. People shrugged it off as just some school life/romance anime, but they completely overlooked all of the underlying messages threaded throughout it about how hard work isn't always rewarded and how comparing yourself to others does nothing but make you feel bad. It preached a lot of hard truths and I really respect that.
June 27th, 2013 9:02 PMHouse
It's okay! I quite like long replies and I love your replies, so it's best of both worlds! c: I just warn you that it's going to take a bit more time for me to reply to them too, because I unconsciously make mine longer heh! If you want, I can try to tone it down too. Also, I love the emoticons you write, they're so cute! Hah!
I wouldn't say it's having a tough time, more like a weird time! There are a lot of things wrong here and when the government increased the taxes (The famous 20 cents) people just exploded into rage and got out to streets to protest! Now they're striving to fix the education, health and transport system but it's quite complicated. I'd have to stay an entire day with you just to explain the situation in my country xD!
And that's so nice of you! But you really don't need to ship anything to me! xD Unless it's a letter! I've never received letters! Not even bills yet. But nobody wants to receive bills right?
So your family's got them priorities right! Hah! Hmm, it's called Stinky Tofu right? It's probably that stinky because of the dried shrimp, at least that's my guess! I don't eat tofu that often so it'd be nice to check it out, mhm!
Haha, it's all right! c: Some people don't even consider Batman as a hero because of the way he acts! The movies, specially the live-action ones, have a world that differs from the comics. Usually things are much more complicated, dark and disturbing in the comics! The "Dark Detective" reference I got from the comics, I'm not sure if he's ever been called that in a movie or TV series xD It's okay, we'll watch and maybe even read some stuff togetheeeeeeeeer! c:
Look I can even use quantum mechanics to prove that the gravitons from bed have different tensors from the rest of the world! =P
Ah you'd make yourself as much as fool as me! I've never played a piano and I'm not the greatest at improvisation either but I survive it! It'd be fun c: It's okay to only know three songs, at least you don't know no songs at all! Of course I'd teach you, indeed! We'll go real slow, starting with Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker! Hah, just kidding, even I don't know how to play that one!
Aw reaaaaaaally? You're so nice, Marina! *hugs* c:
Your collection of storybooks? c: Which types of books are you into, lady? I'm mostly a scientific books type of guy but from time to time I pick up a literature book to check it out! Right now I'm starting to read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez and last time I was reading a book called "Eugene Onegin", which is quite an interesting book. It's made by a Russian guy called Alexander Pushkin and it's a novel in verses! Pretty cool!
Aw I see :c Ahah the birds that fly! My dog tries to catch those! Sometimes he gets them. Sometimes I think my dog is smarter than he looks, really. He doesn't simply gets the birds, when he gets them, he instantly breaks their neck and boom they're dead! Aww well you'll eventually get a dog, I'm sure! What type of dog do you want? Mine is a dachshund!
She is yeah! But sometimes she's a teenager! I'm really glad I have my mom, though. She's one of my best friends! Your mom also sounds like a real warrior, Marina! c: Do you also have a friendly relationship with her?
Haha I sure will! I've helped her quite a bit of times, this will just be one more of those! C:
I think I do! I don't remember most of them, only some that really strike me, like when they deal with something important from the past or something that's been bugging me recently. It's not strange for people to dream everyday because everyone dreams everyday xD. It's just that some of us remember them dreams everyday, like you! And that's super cool! <3
Wait a second this part also answers something I've asked previously! So I'll throw in a new question, what is your all time favorite fictional series? c:
Hey Marina's Sister! Oh, I'm starting to think that everyone indeed likes House! xD Aw thank you Marina's Sister! I'm sure that she's also a quite nice person, specially if she's anything remotely close to you, Marina!
Hm... But do you have exams before your finals or only your finals? My "finals" are also in November, but after September's tests I usually don't even need to take classes anymore for the year c: I can quite see that you're trying your best and I believe you'll end up doing good no problems!
And hey it ends a week after my birthday!
So now I'm the one who apologizes for the length of this VM xD.

June 27th, 2013 6:18 PMSheep
Ahh you are so sweet thank you. ;~~; And you're definitely one of my favorite new people (don't tell anyone else bahaha) so hopefully you're around for a long time!
June 27th, 2013 4:35 PMHouse
Pfft you won't simply be trying, you'll succeed Marina! Yeah it's quite sad that most people are coursing something they don't like for the money, hm... Well, just one of the sad things of this world, unfortunately :c I'm pretty sure it's going to cost quite a bit, but I still have three years to figure out what I'm going to do exactly with my life c: And thank you, Marinaaaaaaa!
I guess so! It's just that things tend to be quite cheaper in Paraguay than they are here, in Brazil. Import taxes are almost unexistent there! =P
Aw but did you end up buying anything interesting there regardless or nope? I heard there are all types of food there! I think mom and I would like going there. Mostly me, since I eat pretty much anything, but still xD.
Haha! I was just referencing the Batman! Ah I also wake up very late on no-school days! Sometimes I get to sleeping even beyond noon, like today >.> Not my fault the bed is so comfortable, right? Hah!
I think it's sounding decent! I'll record more stuff soon but right now I'm trying to learn some things first c: And maybe that will happen, yes! But I think it's not that likely, really xD. Well, we never know what might happen tomorrow!
Oooh! Birthday ukelele! And you used to play in secrecy, now you HAVE TO show me yourself playing, mhm! You owe me some Maj7 chords, lady!
Yeah, you can either buy an electric piano, which is good but in my opinion it's not worth it. If you want to spend lots of money in something that's electric, you might as well buy one of those workstation keyboards, like the Nord Stage 2 or Korg Kronos c: Now if you somehow get real rich and decide to buy a piano, go for the Bösendorfers or Steinway Ds! By the way if you buy any of those I'm going there RIGHT NOW to play with you! <3
Wait that means I have to necessarily get turned into one of those to cuddle with you? Aw!
Well, "original" manuscripts! I have them but I don't have them at the same time. They're scanned manuscripts from some universities, so I have them in very well organized PDF files! Most of my books are digital because of two reasons: Some of them are really old, rare and/or expensive, so it's way easier to get them through the internet and the second reason is I wouldn't have enough space for them! Right now I have 1029 books/articles, I can't have that in real life xD.
Aah I see! Well of course you can still compare to me! See, I don't spend hours researching on a single species c: And I love dogs too! Of course I don't know them as well as you do, but still I have one and I love him c: Do you have any animals in your house?
Worry not for soon I will maybe have to get focused on school stuff too. Not only because of me but also because of my mom. She didn't complete her high school degree when young so I'll have to help her with that, since she wants to complete it now. And also she wants to get into college, so here I go to the rescue weeee!
Mhm, when you sent me that message it was 6:44 AM. I was probably dreaming about using Newton's Method to solve Implicit ODEs while drawing something on a white board - in black and white of course! I always dream in black and white! Sometimes there's a hint of red, so it turns into sepia c:
When are your finals, Marina? In August?
June 26th, 2013 11:52 AMSheep
Hey there, you are awesome :3
June 26th, 2013 10:21 AMHouse
At least you have an idea of what you'll choose instead of being completely lost c: The stuff I'm going to study also doesn't have an interesting market where I live. I may need to move to another state or another country even... But what matters, my lady, is whether you like what you're doing or not, because nobody wants to be stuck doing what they don't enjoy their whole life! I'm sure you will find a way because you're awesome and everyone in university loves awesome people, mhm!
Yaaay! Looks like you really, really enjoy travelling! xD I plan on buying some nerdy stuff there. I'm going with dad and we'll try to find a Raspberry Pi. Oh the nerdiness has no limits with me c: Oh Ma-Ri-Na! *hugs tight*
I don't really have problems with switching my sleep times and you may be the Fallen Detective, but I am (also) the Dark Detective! c: I usually don't have problems with waking up for school either (6:15 AM), except when it's cold or during Summer - it's still dark when I wake up during Summer! Anyways, I don't think it's actually since 1st grade, because kids are only 6 year olds by then! Ah, the education nomenclature has switched recently here so even I get confused. Let's say you take 7 years of school and put it into an exam! c:
I really don't think I'm that musically talented, I just know some tricks hah! By music production stuff I just mean knowing how to use VSTs, record and edit songs xD Here is a song I tried recording a little while ago, I'm not sure if it's your type of music and I also don't think it came out that well but still... It's a version of Dire Straits' "Love Over Gold". I did all the instruments in it c: A friend wants me to add vocals although uh I think I'm not ready to do that xD
You play the ukelele? That's awesome! You should also show me yourself playing mmmmmmmmmmhm! And buying a piano? Oh lord... It's so expensive! Even I don't have one... Here an eletric one costs like 7k moneys! ;-; Also if I ever get turned into a dog/cat I'll run to you!
Yeah! I have like 360 papers/books on Math! I've read almost all of them, but some aren't in English/Portuguese/Polish (i.e. some are original manuscripts by Euler, Riemann, Newton, Erdős...), so those I can't read as well, even though I understand some of it c:
How crazy are you about Biology, lady?
And hey here I am again!
June 26th, 2013 7:37 AMNathan
No need to control yourself. It's alright to say what you want.
Thanks, it's nice knowing you as well
June 26th, 2013 6:36 AMNathan
Yeah I know. It's really difficult to learn but I like it a lot. When I was young, I thought things were so easy. Growing up, I realized things were more complex.
Yeah that's why they exist

Deputy Foreign Minister Nguyen Thanh Son speaks at the meeting ( Image: VNA )
Of UNESCO's proposed solutions, Son especially praised the idea of setting up an UNESCO Emergency Fund and other measures proposed by UNESCO's General Director Irina Bokova to cope with the current difficulties brought about by the global recession and the US cutting its annual payments to the organisation.
Son said that Vietnam supports every move UNESCO makes to be more innovative and cut costs, particularly the future plans that Bokova had recommended previously. He added that reducing budgetary expenditure is essential in the current economic climate. However, UNESCO needs to maintain efficient and cost effective programmes such as the Biospheres project and the International Network of Geo-parks. This is a chance for UNESCO to review its operations and undertake any necessary improvements as well as reinforcing the global role it plays.
Vietnam supports UNESCO strengthening its relationship with the many National Commissions for UNESCO and suggested tighter mechanisms between the UNESCO Secretariat and the various National Commissions will benefit UNESCO and improve its image with members, said the Deputy Minister.
Son praised UNESCO's idea of enhancing its partnership with multi-national businesses to carry out its programmes in education and culture more effectively. This will also help UNESCO access all the strengths and experiences of its partners and help to tackle ongoing and persistent problems.
He said that Vietnam will always stand by UNESCO and share its current financial challenges and is presently about to submit its annual contributions for 2012. He also called for more effort from member countries to support the organisation.
Son then revealed that Vietnam is ready to host the Consultative Meeting of UNESCO National Commissions for the Asia Pacific region in June in Thanh Hoa province. Vietnam sees this as an opportunity to contribute to the organisation as well as spotlighting one of its unique heritages, the Ho Citadel, which was recognised as a world cultural heritage site last year.

Today, Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R -- IL) voted in support of H.R. 6082, the Congressional Replacement of President Obama's Energy-Restricting and Job-Limiting Offshore Drilling Plan. Kinzinger, a member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement upon House passage:
"The House took action today to replace the President's no-new energy plan with a robust, environmentally responsible blue print that will boost new energy development, lower prices at the pump, and create domestic jobs. The House plan includes nearly double the amount of lease sales contained in President Obama's plan and comes amid a recent non-partisan Congressional Research Service report stating the Administration's plan contains the lowest number of lease sales in the history of the program, while closing off 85% of the nation's 1.71 billion acres of Outer Continental Shelf lands."
"With unemployment above 8% for 41 straight months and gas prices nearly double what they were three years ago, it is time for the Obama Administration to stop playing politics with the budgets of middle class Americans and take action to make our nation more energy secure."

CHESHIRE Fire and Rescue Service is urging Halton residents to 'play it safe' as World Cup fever grips the nation.
With most of the football games being played in the evenings or through the night, firefighters remind people to take extra care if they are staying up to watch the live games.
Head of preventon and protection Keith Brooks said: "With the timings of many of the games being during the evening it is likely that some people will choose to enjoy the competition with alcohol and food.
"Drinking when cooking, especially in the early hours of the morning can have dangerous consequences with more than half of accidental fires at home being started by cooking. Our message is to play it safe in the kitchen or even better, order a takeaway."
Drivers are also urged to leave their cars at home if they are planning to have a drink while enjoying the football.
Here are some tips on how to stay safe while cooking and what to do if a fire starts in your kitchen.
Don't leave cookers or grills unattended.
Take care if you're wearing loose clothing, they can easily catch fire.
Keep tea towels and cloths away from the cooker and hob.
Double check the cooker is off when you've finished cooking.

So, I usually post when I am at work- and work lately has been...well....not hard but ANNOYING! I work out of a certain gatehouse- there are 4 onsite. One supervisor decided she would be working out of my gatehouse on a 5-5-4 schedule, so I see her every 4 or 5 days for 4 or 5 days. Wahhh haha. Let's just say people don't come visit when she is working, and I can't go on Runnersworld when she is around
I mentioned awhile back that I would have a 5k race in Winnipeg on June 8th during my birthday weekend. That fell through as my leg was still bothering me, so I decided to rest it...and shop instead
I started with my trainer 2 weeks ago and love it. I see her once a week, and am on my own the other 2x a week. I never thought I could actually sweat this much My LEGS were like dripping! It felt awesome!
Running is going even better, my leg only acts up when I don't foam roll, so I am all over that Whatever the problem is- it is coming from an etremely tight piriformis.
I am finally motivated again, as things were a little slow in that area. Last night I ran 3x800m repeats with 1:1 work to rest ratio. When my leg was acting up, I wouldn't get the high quality speed workouts I was aiming for, but I am finally getting there!!
Only 8-9 weeks of work left until XC season starts which I am really excited about too- our coach sent us pictures of what our new singlets will look like, and all our gear will now be by Nike, which I am super pumped about
That is all for now, hopefully I can start posting some more. Miss reading up on everyones lives out there
Happy summer, and stay safe out there, loopies!

She's decided that her first name 'Katie' sounds too young and so wants to be known as 'Kate' instead.
And it's not the first time a top celeb has changed their name. US rapper P Diddy dropped the P from his name as he wanted to just be known as Diddy.
So, do you shorten your name to something else?
Or maybe you have a nickname?
Perhaps you prefer to be called your middle name?
Or are you called something completely different by your friends and family?
Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.

Artist of the day: Halcyon
For our inaugural Artist of the Day, we're paying tribute for a band that's been rocking Tampa concert stages since the '80s. Skipper's Smokehouse regulars Stephanie Callahan and Deb Hunseder of St. Pete's Halcyon have been slinging their popular brand of passionate acoustic folk-pop around Tampa Bay (and the entire southeast) for two decades — in fact, they've got a 20th-anniversary show coming up at Skipper's on May 16. Like the Indigo Girls (to whom they're often compared), Callahan and Hunseder are gay, and they have a strong lesbian following. But their gigs regularly draw hundreds of fans of all orientations. They're among the few local musicians who can truly be called icons. Check 'em out at 8 p.m. March 21 at Skipper's; tickets are $12.
Check out the playlist on the right to listen to an mp3 of Halcyon's "Margaret Says."

TRINITY — Tarpon Springs has quietly dominated Class 6A, District 10 and improved its record by sweeping Mitchell 31-29, 25-14, 25-21 Tuesday night.
The Mustangs controlled the opening game and had three opportunities to put away the Spongers, but Tarpon Springs coach Patrick Sneed had his team prepared.
"In practice we actually practice being down 23-21, just like we were," Sneed said. "We practice things like that."
After a timeout, Tarpon Springs (12-2, 5-0) capitalized on an out-of-bounds error by Mitchell's Autumn Davis, then a block and a kill by Ashlyn MacGregor tied the game at 24.
Both teams continued to score at a torrid pace, with neither gaining an edge. Tied at 29, Tarpon's Kelsi Collins placed an unchallenged teardrop kill followed by a Kaci Zambelli blast to win Game One.
"We trusted each other and we weren't afraid to be aggressive, so that's what helped us because we were just more aggressive," said Collins, who finished with 15 kills and 16 digs.
The Spongers cruised through the second game, never giving up the lead after being down 1-0. Zambelli had three straight kills to put Tarpon up 16-6. She finished with seven kills and two blocks.
Mitchell (10-6, 6-3) continued to push hard through Game Three, leading 16-15, but Tarpon took advantage of late mistakes.
The Mustangs committed a team error by hitting the ball four times then Devon Felts blasted the ball into the net, giving the Spongers a one-point advantage. A quick kill by Zambelli and an ace by MacGregor gave Tarpon a 19-16 lead.
Down 24-21, Mitchell's Catherine Peshek ended the match on an out-of-bounds serve.
"(Mitchell's) a scrappy team so they fought back," Sneed said. "They came out fired up in game three and they made us work for it."
