By Connie Ward
What made you decide to become a fiction writer?
I've always loved books. I think I learned to read before I learned to walk! Growing up, that was my only escape and my only form of entertainment when playing outside wasn't an option. I loved how a book could take me anywhere and introduce me to all different types of people. I could pretend to be the characters and could continue the story long after I was done reading the book. I've always wanted to write because I want to give that feeling back to my readers. I want to create memorable and relatable characters that stick with my readers after they've closed the book or turned off the Kindle. I like being creative and free and throwing ideas down on paper to see what sticks.
What type of stories do you write? And why?
I enjoy writing lesbian romance because women are complicated and I find it fascinating to witness, whether real or fictional, two women working through emotional differences and personal boundaries and trying to make their relationship work. I like to build up tension because when you are starting a relationship, there is a lot of gentle pushing and pulling toward and against one another to see how compatible you are sexually, emotionally, even financially. I try to express those feelings so that my readers can experience them alongside the characters, too. Writing, to me, is simply capturing life onto the page.
I write a lot of poetry as well, and if a thought stays with me longer than a second, I want to write about it. Poetry is the best form of expression for me. I love that I can take a single idea and strip it down into words that build it back up again maybe in a different way than I would expect. I love the manipulation of words. Every word in a poem has a meaning. It's there for a reason. A poem really is the perfect little quick story.
What do your family/friends think about your writing?
I've always had a solid support group in my family and friends. When my friends from high school found out I was going to be published, they squealed and hugged me and I never felt so accomplished. They are the ones who have known about my passion and my dreams for several years. I'm very close to my family and they, too, have been supportive. My dad has always been proud of everything I've written. I've given him several books of poetry over the years and can still bring tears to his eyes. My mom supports me, but she doesn't understand why it's such a passion for me. English is her second language so it's hard for her to grasp my ideas. As long as I'm happy, she's happy. And then she tries to feed me. My sister, my polar opposite, my best friend, was also extremely proud of me and complimented me for sticking with it all these years. I have a strong core of loved ones, and without them and their encouragement, I probably would not have pushed myself to get published.
Where do you get your ideas?
My ideas come straight from my interests. For example, music is a very strong part of my life. One day, Ali Hart showed up in my head—a tall, lithe, sexy musician with a guitar slung on her back. I didn't know her name then, just what she looked like, her music, and some personal struggles. I knew I had to tell her story. Even famous people are normal people. They have problems and fun times and down-to-earth families like most of us do. Funny thing happened though. Bethany Lange showed up in my head, too, and I liked her struggles and her personality more so I wrote the book from her point of view. I let the book come together on its own. I knew they were going to end up together, but I really didn't know how that was going to happen. I was just there managing their relationship.
How do you write; do you plan everything out or just write?
I don't write with an outline. I sit down with my characters and start writing. I know the end result, and as long as I get there, I'm fine with whatever happens in between. I was horrible at "showing my work" in school so I scoff at outlines now! Whatever works is my mantra.
What makes Jolt special to you?
Jolt is special to me because it's the first thing I've written that somebody else liked enough to want to publish it. The first draft was third person and all over the place. My editors really pushed me on this book and I love the rewrite. The final is definitely better than what I originally presented to Bold Strokes Books. I like it because I like my characters. They would be my friends in real life. They have strengths and weaknesses and flaws and things about them that make me love them both. They are real women with simple and complex problems.
How much of yourself and the people you know are in your characters?
Both of my main characters have a little bit of me in them. It's difficult to write about people and not have some of your own traits filter in, especially when you are writing in first person. Bethany has my wallflower side and can shut down when hurt. Ali has compassion and is very close to her family. The rest of my characters have faces and some characteristics of people who are in or have been in my life, but for the most part, they are more of an "idea" and end up being a mix of people I know or want to know.
Which gay/lesbian authors inspired you the most? Do you have a favorite
of this author(s)?
When I decided to write a lesbian romance, I didn't want to read other lesbian authors because I was afraid of subconsciously stealing their styles. Then I convinced myself that it was okay to read one or two books just to get a feel for what women read and what they want. Well, my Kindle is full now. I couldn't stop reading. I randomly picked Radclyffe and Syd Parker and gobbled up their books. Then I branched out, and now I admire many authors out there, including Lynn Ames, Melissa Good, Georgia Beers, Suzie Carr, Lori L. Lake, R.E. Bradshaw, and so many others. It's hard to narrow it down because every woman has a different style of writing, and it depends on my mood on who I want to read. After reading a ton of books, I decided it was time to write one of my own.
Do you have any suggestions for new writers?
My suggestion for new writers is to write about what you know and love. Start there. Get to know your characters and figure out what they like and their flaws and what makes them tick. If your manuscript is chosen for publication, listen to your editors. They are going to frustrate you, push you, high-five you (yes, this can be done through Track Changes), hurt your feelings, throw you a compliment here and there, but they will make you a better writer than you thought possible.
When you're not writing what do you do for fun?
I love traveling. This is a beautiful world and I want to see as much of it as I can. When I'm not writing, I'm trying to figure out where I can go for an extended weekend. I also enjoy hiking, going to concerts, photography, and spending time with my dog, Molly. I have a simple Midwest life, but I love it.

Ron Fellows is the first to admit that his two NASCAR starts this year may be his last chance to add an elusive Sprint Cup victory to his career tally.
While the 53-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., "isn't getting any younger," Fellows feels confident he has a car that can match the top teams this time around, something that should put a win in NASCAR's top tier within his reach in Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at California's Sonoma Raceway.
"I feel like it's a pretty good opportunity and one that I haven't had for a few years in Sprint Cup," he said.
"I don't know how many more of these opportunities I am going to have. This might be it, who knows? To be honest, I have stopped thinking about a win – if it's to be, it will be and, if not, what do you do? It would obviously be a fantastic thing; it's the one missing piece in my career."
In his career, Fellows has won his class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, and twice in the 12 Hours of Sebring. He also scored three class championships in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), along with victories in NASCAR's Camping World Truck and Nationwide Series. Always a fan favourite, he was voted most popular driver in ALMS several times.
Supported by Canadian Tire, Fellows will drive the No. 33 Circle Sport Chevrolet in the two NASCAR Sprint Cup road course events this season.
After Sonoma, Fellows' second chance at a Cup win in 2013 happens Aug. 11 at the Watkins Glen International Raceway. A victory in either one of his two Cup starts this year would make him only the 24th driver to win a NASCAR race in Trucks, Nationwide and Cup.
The two-race deal continues a long-standing relationship Fellows enjoys with retailing giant, which is also the title sponsor of Canadian Tire Motorsport Park that the driver co-owns. The No. 33 is also backed by Texas-based AER Manufacturing, which has been associated with Fellows for several years in NASCAR.
One of the deciding factors for Fellows was that the Circle Sport team gets its cars and engines from NASCAR powerhouse Richard Childress Racing, along with some engineering support. That situation makes Fellows feel he'll be a contender as soon as the car is pushed off the hauler.
Although it will be Fellows' first race in the new Generation-6 car introduced this year, he has already driven it twice in testing. He put the No. 33 through its paces in early June with the team at Sonoma and also got a call from Tony Stewart to test his road course car in late May at the Road Atlanta track. Fellows will also get a chance to take the car for a spin in Watkins Glen before the race there.
"The opportunity to test at Sonoma and Watkins Glen will certainly help us – I think we will show up and be relatively competitive," Fellows said.
"The test went well, although when you are the only car there is it tough to tell. Testing Tony's car definitely helped me and I hope it helped them too."
And because Sonoma is the first road course races for the new Gen-6 car, Fellows won't be at a huge disadvantage to the Cup regulars, who won't have any added experience driving it on a road course. In fact, the veteran road racer just might be one of the first to figure out how to make the new car quick around the 12-turn, 4.06 kilometre circuit.
"I certainly hope so," Fellows said with a chuckle.
"There are only two 90-minute practice sessions and they go by pretty quickly – so, there's not a lot of time to dial in the car."
Should things not work out in Sonoma, there's no doubt that The Glen will be another good chance for Fellows to take a Cup win, considering his past success there. So far, he has two NASCAR truck series wins in four starts at the New York track and three NASCAR Nationwide victories in 12 races there.
The Glen is also a place where he's been completely frustrated after seeing Cup wins slip through his fingers a couple of times. One of his greatest performances in his career came at The Glen in 2004 when he started dead last in 43rd spot due a rained out qualifying and put on a passing clinic to end the day second. Only three-time Cup champion Stewart, who started fourth, was able to keep Fellows behind.
While he's had several good results in New York State, his nearest miss in Cup actually came in Sonoma in 2003 where he controlled the race from the front late in the action but ended up finishing seventh due to an ill-timed yellow flag with about 20 laps to go.
I'll never forget it," Fellows sighed.
"We were cruising along in the lead coming up to our last pitstop and waited a little too long to make the stop: A caution came out the lap we were coming in. We went from first to 31st. That's where I learned that certainly in Sprint Cup, you can be fast and competitive and have great pitstops, but the stars need to be aligned too."
Whether he adds a Cup race win or not, Fellows will be inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in a ceremony at CBC's Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto on Sept. 28, which also happens to be his 54th birthday.
The veteran racer also won't be flying the Canadian flag alone in California, after 1997 Formula One world champion Jacques Villeneuve announced Wednesday that he will be driving the No. 51 Chevrolet for Phoenix Racing. It will be Villeneuve's first road course start in Cup, although he has run several of the races in the second tier Nationwide series, with some anger-inducing results.
At Road America in 2011, Villeneuve irked Max Papis after trying a bold passing move on a late restart which ended with Italian in a wall. In the same race last year, the Canadian punted crowd favourite Danica Patrick out of a top-5 spot on the final lap to earn some jeers.
In the K&N Pro Series West race on Saturday in Sonoma, up-and-coming Canadian Cameron Hayley will be looking for his first win in the No. 24 Ford Fusion since he took the chequered flag in a non-points race during Daytona 500 weekend.
The 16-year-old from Calgary hopes to erase the disappointment of his last K&N road course race at Minnesota's Brainerd International Raceway in May, where he looked to be a contender for the win until a blown tire ruined his day.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. Car aficionados appreciate the a "go anywhere" attitude built into each Jeep, and understand that only top quality replacement CJ5A parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Your Jeep dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your CJ5A. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Jeep vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your automobile.
As far back as two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans were using hydraulic pressure to provide drinking water to cities. Your Jeep CJ5A has a very efficient system of hydraulic pressure production and distribution that all starts in the brake master cylinder. This part uses the force from your brake pedal to compress brake fluid and distribute it to each caliper or wheel cylinder. That is where the braking force from your Jeep CJ5A brake master cylinder is applied; as the calipers and wheel cylinders create the necessary friction so your vehicle can slow down if needed.
Don't let a Brake Master Cylinder repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Jeep CJ5A part for your needs. Get your CJ5A back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

How to Choose a Flight School?
This article provides information on the best factors to use when choosing a flight school. Stability, Safety, Cost, and Quality are discussed. Potential students are reminded to do as much research as possible to avoid making a costly mistake.
There are several reasons why now is a good time to write an article on what factors to consider when choosing a school for your pilot training.
The first of those reasons is perhaps the scariest. Nearly every week, a flight school in the USA (and many elsewhere in the world) goes out of business. Many of those pilot training schools that do close will not be able or willing to refund any student funds already placed on account. Just a short search of flight schools closing this year (2010) turns up schools that have closed in Texas, California, Maryland, New York, Nebraska, and Illinois. Those closings are not just small flight schools but even include well-known colleges. Closings are not just restricted to pilot schools in the USA either. Recently, there were announcements of pilot school closings in Canada and the Philippines.
Another, more positive, reason for learning more now about how to choose a good flight school is that in most countries the job prospects for commercial pilot graduates are improving.
What factors should you as a prospective student consider when choosing a flight school? Here is my list and an explanation of each.
How does a prospective student measure the stability of a school? One way might be the years in business. Only a successful business can survive the difficult first few years of operation. Flight schools that have been in operation for 10 years, 20 years or even longer demonstrate that they have the financial strength and management ability to excel not only in the good times but survive the bad ones as well.
One sign of lack of strength in the pilot training business is the possible demand of the school for the student to pay all or most of the fees upfront. Sometimes this comes with a promise of a discount for paying the complete cost of training in advance. Though in some cases this offer may be genuine, in other cases in may be a sign that the school is using the "new" money to pay for the flight training of the students who are already enrolled. A way to discover this might be to ask the recent students who have enrolled how much flight training is being provided. If those students indicate that no flight training is being done in the first month or two of training, this could be a negative indication. A good rule to follow is to never pay all of the fees in advance. Unless the flight school is in distress, they should be willing to allow a student to pay as the training progresses.
You should ask any flight school that you are considering how many accidents they have had. It is unlikely that a flight school that has been in operation for at least a few years will not have some record of at least minor incidents and/or accidents. But a flight school that has multiple serious accidents or fatalities over a short period of time should cause you to at least do further research to determine the cause of the accidents. If the accidents are the result of poor maintenance or poor instruction, you might want to consider other schools. Even accidents that appear to be due to an "act of god" like bad weather or a mid-air collision should cause the prospective student to consider whether local weather conditions or the concentration of air traffic in that area are suitable for flight training.
Since the flight school may not provide you with accurate figures on safety, and those that are provided may be suspect, you may want to verify those figures by doing your own research. Therefore, an internet search may prove fruitful. If the flight school is in the USA, you can search in several ways for possible incidents and accidents. Your first stop would normally be www.ntsb.gov. Select aviation accidents. Search by the name of the pilot school. This may or may not register the relevant accidents as the airplanes might be registered in another name. Also search for the airport where the school is based and perhaps even the state in which they are located. You can also just do a general search on the internet using the school's name and location.
One of the more difficult to determine factors is the quality of the training provided by the school. If you are able to visit the school in advance, you should talk not only to the management but also the flight instructors and students. Any school that will not allow you to "mingle" with the students should be regarded with suspicion. Be sure that you are able to meet not only a few hand-picked students but are able to talk to several of the others not introduced by school. If necessary, find out where the students live and drop by those apartments for a casual conversation away from the school.
You may also be able to talk to one of the Pilot Examiners who tests students that graduate from the school. Find out from the school or the students which examiners are used and contact them.
The internet can also be a useful tool for finding information out about flight schools. Though a few complaints about any one school might be expected even from a good school, multiple complaints should be examined closely. One website that collects and stores not only complaints about flying schools but also good reviews as well is www.flightschool reviewer.com. Other aviation websites collect information not only about flight schools but on a variety of aviation topics including pilot jobs. Some of the websites to consider checking out include www.jetcareers.com, www.pprune.org (particularly good for views on European training), and www.airlinepilotcentral.com.
• Cost.
Many students focus all of their attention on finding the lowest price for their flight training. Rather than concentrate on cost only, it is recommended that students focus more on "value." The cost of the flight training should be one factor in determining the value of that training. Be careful about the price of programs that appear lower than the price of most others. Some flight schools utilize safety pilot time as a means of reducing costs. But this actually reduces the amount of "hands-on"
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of choices for flight training worldwide. Sunrise Aviation, a flight school in Central Florida, is one of those choices. Sunrise Aviation currently has students from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Bahrain, Colombia, Brazil, France, India, Mongolia, and, of course, USA. Sunrise Aviation in Ormond Beach, Florida has been in business for 27 years. Sunrise Aviation is approved by the FAA as a Pilot School under Part 141 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Sunrise Aviation is approved by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to enroll students under the M-1 student visa program. Sunrise Aviation owns and operates more than 40 aircraft. Sunrise Aviation has flight training packages that are realistic and can be completed by the average student in the cost and time estimated. Sunrise Aviation can be found on the web at www.flysunrise.com or reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Inquiries by telephone should be made to +1-386-677-5724.

A Multi-Center, Non-Controlled Clinical Study of Sorafenib Adjuvant Therapy in Locally Advanced Renal-Cell Carcinoma After Radical Nephrectomy
A one-arm, open, multi-center study, to evaluate sorafenib (400mg twice daily) as a adjuvant
to prevent recurrence of RCC(renal cell carcinoma) patients after radical nephrectomy with a
high-risk of recurring. To observe disease-free survival and the survival rate in 3 years,
and 5 years. To observe the incidence of hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) after the Urea (10%
or 5%) based cream intervention treatment. 140 subjects are prospected to enter the trial.
The sorafenib adjuvant therapy is unremitting with a time of 12 months. For a convenient
record, every 6 weeks is regarded as a single observational cycle. The end-point are
recurrence, not being tolerant to the toxicity, need to stop the intervening study or
withdrawing the informed consent. It is necessary to evaluate the efficacy and safety every
6 weeks. At the screening stage and every 12 weeks imaging review are performed such as
abdominal and chest CT or MRI, the imaging methods of a single subject should be in
uniformity during the trial.
The post-treatment evaluation are performed 30 days after the last usage of the adjuvant in
order to collect all the adverse events (AE) and the survival rates of all the subjects. The
agent-relevant AE (known or unknown) should be reported to the drug safety institution, the
patients should be visited until the events solved, except the events can not be solved for
the subjects' underlying diseases.

NEW YORK, N.Y.—The Coca-Cola Co. says its net income rose 3 per cent in the third quarter, as the world's biggest beverage maker expanded in in emerging markets and sold more of its sports drinks and teas at home.
The Atlanta-based company, which makes Sprite, Fanta, Minute Maid and Dasani water, says global sales volume rose 4 per cent during the period. But the growth was more pronounced in emerging markets, where Coca-Cola has been looking to capitalize on the growing ranks of middle-class consumers.
In its flagship North American market, the company said sales volume rose by 2 per cent. The increase was driven by what Coke refers to as "still beverages," such as Powerade, Gold Peak and Fuze teas. Its sparkling beverage unit, which includes its namesake soft drink, was flat from a year ago.
In India, by contrast, the company saw a 34 per cent increase for its Coca-Cola brand and a 15 per cent increase for Sprite. Overall sales volume in India was up 15 per cent during the period.
CEO Muhtar Kent said in a statement that the company was able to "crack the calculus for growth" even in the tough economy.
"We have done this by consistently investing in our system and our brands to ensure that our global portfolio is more relevant and healthier today than it has ever been," Kent said.
The company says it earned $2.31 billion (U.S.), or 50 cents per share, for the period ended Sept. 28. That compares with $2.22 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. Not including one-time items, the company says it earned 51 cents per share, in line with analyst expectations.
Revenue rose 1 per cent to $12.34 billion, but fell shy of Wall Street expectations of $12.4 billion.
Shares of Coca-Cola were up 22 cents at $38.35 (U.S.) in premarket trading.

MVNU Recognizes Retirees
April 21, 2016 - 11:09 AM
(Image provided by MVNU)
MOUNT VERNON — Three professors and one staff member have
retired from Mount Vernon Nazarene University this year. All four

How to use your bond as a financial resource
Home loan interest rates - currently at 10.5 percent - are at their lowest level in years. But many consumers don't know how to tap this financial resource and are wasting money using expensive credit facilities.
Saul Geffen, MD of leading originator MortgageSA says, "Interest charges on traditional sources of credit like overdraft facilities and credit cards are crippling for South African consumers, many of whom are fighting an ongoing battle to escape from the debt trap.
"As many people have found to their cost, succumbing to the lure of the 'buy now, pay later' philosophy can result in the battle to pay balances on cards and other credit facilities.
Geffen says that one way to regain control of your finances is to consolidate all your existing debts in your mortgage bond account.
"By borrowing funds from your access bond account to pay off all higher interest accounts, you will in effect be moving your accumulated debts into a single account that offers much lower interest charges.
"If consumers tally up the total interest charges on all their debts both before and after consolidating these debts in their home loan account, they will see the accelerated reduction effect of using this financial option."
However, Geffen points out that it is vital for consumers who opt to consolidate their debt through their bond account to bear in mind that, while this financial option will enable them to pay their debts with less interest overall, their monthly bond payments will increase accordingly and they will pay more over the long term.
"It is also important for consumers to note the need to curb future spending in order to manage their debt effectively, as they should not continue to borrow against their bond.
"Owning a property provides significant financial stability and is one of the best means to accumulate long-term wealth. Accessing this capital in the short term has a corrosive effect and home owners may find the gain from their most significant asset devalue down the line."
Geffen warns that consolidating your debts under the mortgage bond requires strict financial discipline and is not suited to all people.
Before consumers take the step of consolidating their debts in a home loan account, Geffen again advises them to 'stress test' their budgets, as well as their financial accounts. This will ensure that they are not over-extending themselves financially and will still be able to meet their bond repayments should interest rates rise
Financial freedom doesn't mean you have to win the lottery or a get an unexpected call from the executors of a long lost uncle's estate in Provence.
With stock markets in seesaw mode, the stability of property as an investment asset class has once again come to the fore. "House prices are expected to increase by 12% this year and while this may not be as high as in recent years, it still represents a good return" says Saul Geffen, Chief Executive of leading mortgage originator, MortgageSA.
As interest rates rise, homeowners have an even bigger incentive to invest in their bonds, as they will be saving even more interest while benefiting from the secondary advantage of a shorter term of repayment.
R 20 million for a three bedroom apartment in Cape Town's V&A waterfront may seem like a ridiculous sum to pay by South African standards, but it compares favorably with Sydney and remains significantly cheaper than upmarket apartments in other international playgrounds.
MortgageSA, South Africa's leading mortgage originator placing one in five mortgages, said that the possibility of a fixed mortgage system, currently being discussed by the Reserve Bank, could be a double-edged sword for consumers.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for us. Your professionalism, friendliness and willingness to assist is admirable and much appreciated. It is wonderful to know that there are still people who value the word "service" and nothing was too much for you."
Carol Curtin of ooba was recommended to us when we were looking to purchase our first home. Carol and Bianca have truly gone the extra mile, not only to secure our first home loan, but assist us in what has been a very unpleasant home buying experience. If it were not for their amazing support and dedication, we may very well not have been buying the home we love. They took the time to understand our situation and help above and beyond their scope, I really could not be more grateful to them both and would never hesitate to recommend them to any of my family and friends.
"Your efforts in getting things done in the shortest possible time is admirable and highly appreciated.
I will definitely recommend your services in our social circles and to colleagues."
When buying a property, you only need to work with ooba.
Within a short space of time they managed to negotiate an excellent bank rate and homeowner's insurance at the best possible rate. Thanks for rendering a great service....at NO CHARGE to the customer.

The EU Repo Markets: Opportunities for Change
The second report of the Giovannini Group "The EU Repo Markets: Opportunities for Change" was submitted to the European Commission on 26 October 1999. This report looks at the repo markets in the EU and highlights those areas that are most clearly in need of reform. The report offers practical solutions to the problems thrown up by fragmented infrastructures, market practices, and fiscal and legal differences.
The report argues that the importance of the sale and repurchase "repo" market for the full and efficient integration of the euro-area capital markets means that change is necessary. This market's key role is illustrated by the fact that the European System of Central Banks (the "Eurosystem") uses repos as its main monetary policy tool, to provide, and drain, liquidity from money markets. Financial institutions use repos to manage their own liquidity position, but also to support their securities market-making activities. An efficient integrated repo market would enhance the liquidity of securities markets. But in the EU there are essentially 15 largely separate repo markets. Integration will require substantial reform.
The report makes a number of recommendations, addressed to market operators, infrastructure providers, and to the national and EU authorities. The report's general recommendation is that all these groups need to promote change "to enable participants in every Member State to deal across the spectrum of Member State counterparties and across the spectrum of Member State securities adopting a single, cost efficient, approach and infrastructure platform".
In 1996 Alberto Giovannini (Deputy General Manager of Banca di Roma) was invited by the European Commission to form a group of financial market experts (known as the "Giovannini Group") to offer advice to the European Commission on how to prepare the capital markets for monetary union. His first report "The impact of the introduction of the euro on capital markets" is also published as Europaper. The on-going role of the Group is to pro vide the European Commission with economic analysis and a market-based perspective on issues affecting the EU capital markets. It aims to tackle issues of market inefficiency and to propose practical solutions to improve market integration.

Learning how to bake bacon is a great way to free yourself of the greasy mess that happens when bacon is fried in a skillet on the stove top. All you need is your oven, a stainless steel cookie sheet, and a pound of raw, sliced bacon. (If you want to use an aluminum cookie sheet, I highly recommend that you line it with parchment paper first).
Bacon grease can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 months or in the freezer for many months.
Here are some ways to use cooked bacon:

Sarah Michelle Geller: Buffy's Back?
Us reports that Sarah Michelle Gellar (looking very, er, ancient Egyptian here) has just signed a deal to return to series television.
Gellar will star on the HBO series The Wonderful Maladays, which will premiere in 2009.
The busy film star is best known for her seven-year run as a perky demon hunter in the much-missed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy staked her last vamp in 2003 on the now-defunct UPN network.
In this new series, written by screenwriter Charles Randolph, Gellar portrays a dysfunctional adult who was orphaned as a child along with her two siblings.
Gellar's character is full of "a kind of zealous immaturity—like a drug addict with a to-do list," Randolph says.
The best part about this? Seeing Gellar swear and possibly take off her clothes! This is HBO!

While our campus eases into summer break, my focus shifts to a broader perspective. I'll head to Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, from May 23 to 25 to speak at a global event aimed at making the world a more culturally supportive and peaceful place. And I won't be alone on my international journey.
I will be joined at the 19th annual conference of the Global Awareness Society International (GASI) by several fellow Huskies, a collection of retired and current faculty and two students. My wife, Robbie, who is among those scheduled to speak, will also be a part of the Bloomsburg University contingent.
Together, we hope to build on the efforts of GASI to increase awareness of the cultural diversity existing across our global society and to promote the importance of world peace. This will be my third opportunity to speak at the annual GASI conference and this year as keynote speaker, I will discuss "The Increasing Need for Global Awareness."
All of the presenters, including our students Laura Buffone and Raeesa Khan, are adding their expertise to this year's theme, "Global Development and the Changing Balance of Power in World Affairs." It's a great opportunity for us, representing BU, to have an influence and play a key part in this vastly important cause.
In fact, the idea for this global organization originated on our campus. Dr. Chang Shub Roh, now faculty emeritus, co-founded GASI 20 years ago after experiencing war and seeing the importance of promoting peace. Roh, who remains a welcome member of our campus community, will be with us in Poland moderating a few panel discussions. It's wonderful to see his idea, nurtured here at BU, grow to what it is now as a multi-day international event. And I'm most appreciative to have been able to be a part of its recent efforts to make this world a better place.

We have a lot of Warranty Scan failures that happens, the majority of them are new machines that we have been putting out.
1. I can click a PC that's failed and it has the Service Tag field filled in, I can click it and it takes me to Dell's "Drivers and Downloads" page. From there I can click Warranty Status and it shows everything ok, but for some reason SW isn't pulling that info.
2. I guess SW randomly picks devices to scan for warranties. Is there any way to limit the warranty scan to "Computers" in the Devices group? Quite a few of the failures are switches, manually added monitors etc.
This topic was created during version 5.2.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.
6 Replies
Oct 19, 2011 at 9:52 UTC
Try steps 1-3 of this guide, then run a full scan and see if it helps.
Oct 19, 2011 at 4:01 UTC
After following Jay's suggestion, a manual rescan (from the inventory screen) should also check the warranty status if the required information has been discovered by Spiceworks.
Oct 19, 2011 at 6:01 UTC
Well, all of my devices in inventory have their Service Tag fields populated which makes me wonder why SW doesn't directly use that. If the Service Tag is there, doesn't it just check with Dell from there?
Also, anyone have any advice on #2? Scanning warranty's on the Computer group rather than all inventory categories?
Oct 19, 2011 at 6:14 UTC
Check out the warranty guide from SW,
SW uses a different daily scan for warranty info, I didn't see how this obtained and not sure if this is public knowledge or not, but there is a lot of info in that guide.
For extreme details I found this how-to
Which the warranty scan seems to be based off of.
Beyond that, I would recommend contacting support at email@example.com
They are great at answering questions and can probably answer more details about your #2 question as well as how it works. All I ask is that if you do contact them and get the response you are looking for to post back what you find out so the rest of us can benefit from the knowledge and learn more about the app along the way.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out or if you have anymore questions.
Oct 20, 2011 at 4:51 UTC
As far as I understand, the warranty scan uses the information about a device from the Spiceworks database to query the Dell server and then adds whatever warranty information the Dell server reports back to the warranty tables.
If the service tag info in there and correct, and you can manually look up the warranty info on the Dell website, then I would also suggest contacting Spiceworks support, let them take a look at your logfiles and they can help you figure out why the warranty information is not going through.
Oct 27, 2011 at 12:51 UTC
UPDATE: It had to do with proxy settings. If we just entered the proxy settings alone, it returned a 401 Authentication Required error, if we entered our credentials as well, it returned a 407 Authentication Required error.
We just setup the proxy to bypass authentication for dell.com and spiceworks.com and it works now.
Thanks for the help

Zettai Karen Children
A manga by Takashi Shiina, of Ghost Sweeper Minami fame. Started serialization on Shounen Sunday in 2005, and continues serialization to this date. It has a 51-episode anime adaptation by SynergySP, and will soon get an OVA series.
Well, I couldn't find a manga thread for this excellent, excellent series, so I went ahead and created one.
Anyway, the latest episode dropped us quite the bomb. It'd appear the Feather's real identity is
Spoiler for chapter 200:
Of course the episode didn't spell it out for us, but that'd be the most rational conclusion.
Seems like it but hope it's someone else just to mix things up a bit more. Maybe another one of the children. Or maybe a mix of all 3.
On another tone, Zettai Karen Children is going to gain another chance on the small tube, this time they are developing an OVA based on middle school arc.
Carrie is like Minamotos luciola. A very sad story
I never thought that Feather will be someone from the future before reading you guys post. I just think that she might be Carrie because she said she loved Minamoto :heh:
if time travel is possible im thinking that it's the other option because it would make sense, also the hair seems to be a giveaway. Personally i hope feather isn't from the future but with little to no real information other than she loves minamoto and that she wants to change the future, we really have very little to go with.
the one really cheesy sci fi plot that really stuck out to me was the heavy future and light future... that was a funny bit of double backing, eventhough all the predictions so far have come true. Although I still don't know how Minamoto got there in time to take a bullet for Igou.
I strongly believe that Feather is Carrie.
Carrie was created by an experiment; so it is possible that Black Phantom might have taken that research and created Mirage/Phantom. Although it is hard to say, because of the lack of info regarding the experiment and what they did in there.
I doubt it, Carrie could be but it's more likely kaoru due kaoru's stronger pyschokinesis which eventhough carrie does posses a high level of pyschokinesis she is no where near as strong as kaoru.
I personally think that Feather is the Amalgam of the children's feelings for Minamoto. It is just that Kaoru has probably strongest overall feelings for Minamoto.
But, when Carrie was born, she had a mind of a baby, and already had a high level of ESP.
So, if the experiments had been more then just successful, Carrie may be even stronger.
I'm guessing that the experiments involved the Rare Metal Earrings that Mirage/Phantom had.
The anime made Barret, Kaoru and Hyoubu's fight pretty nicely
From the way feather is acting, I have a hard time believing it is kaoru... maybe this is a reincarnation things, since the stones posses the psychic imprint of those strong people, maybe in the past there was also a matsumoto that loved a psychic, because to me I think Carrie would never do anything to betray matsumoto.
So...feather is with minamoto who is with the children, but mirage is with PANDRA at the school... Does that mean feather isn't necessarily the same body as mirage?
Check Nai in the panels before feather appears. She got the raremetal ring with her.
Yeah, but even so that doesn't make sense. The rare metal earring is empty, remember? Feather's persona was transferred into Phantom Daughter.

A couple suffer a string of misfortunes from crazed house guests to bad plumbing and a vomiting cat.
What we have here is basically Comic Plot No.3 (Professional Marrieds, No Kids, Move Into New Home), Variation B (The Invasion Of The Houseguests From Hell). Husband Mark (Larroquette, star of the US sitcom Night Court) is some sort of financial whiz, wife Jessie (Alley of Cheers) a relentlessly perky TV reporter.
Neither of them can be all that bright, however, since they have scarcely crossed the threshold themselves before allowing into their home a familiar line-up of uninvited visitors with all manner of attendant misfortunes and predictable catastrophes.
No domestic horror is unplumbed here with, in addition to the usual appalling relatives, a vomiting, demonic cat, some poisonous neighbours, one standard seductive teeny and wisecracking small boy, plus a Colombian drugs runner and a baby elephant in the kitchen just to be, er, zany.
The engaging Larroquette and Alley are quite superb comedians and while they are fruitlessly employed here in flogging a dead horse, they do it so tirelessly there are moments when Old Dobbin almost seems to have a few last gasps of breath left in him.
Gauged on a count of wit or originality this doesn't even register.

HEAVY overnight rain and a stiff breeze made conditions tough for the 250 competitors in last Sunday's Chedworth Roman Trail 10-mile race.
Cirencester AC and Triathlon Club
Chedworth Roman Trail 10-mile.
A trio of runners, led by former Cirencester AC member Marc Fallows, quickly broke away from the pack but by half distance near the notorious crossing of the River Coln, Connor Carson from Kenilworth Runners had broken clear and went on to win in 1hr 1min 47sec, well outside the course record.
Marc was beaten into third place in the final mile by Robert Mead who finished more than a minute behind the winner.
First for Cirencester AC was Rob Forbes who had a relatively lonely run in fourth place throughout the race. His time of 1:04.05 was more than three minutes up on the club's next finisher Bill Leggate who was ninth, just ahead of the winning lady Kate Goodhead from Bristol. Next home was Howard Ewan in 32nd place (1:r12.59), followed by Nicola Denning (1:15.00), who was second in her age category, Amy Bentley (1:19.27), Jill Hadland (1:22.10), Martin Croucher (1:22.11) and Barbara Thomas (1:50.34) who now faces the harder
challenge of Sunday's London Marathon.
Many members of the club braved the windy conditions to marshal the course to ensure another successful race and the first under new race director Richard Hurdle.
Hogweed Hilly Half Marathon
THE previous week Cirencester's ladies took top honours in the Hogweed Hilly Half Marathon, run over country lanes near Chipping Sodbury, with three of the top four places.
Wendy Nicholls showed her strength from
triathlon competition to finish first lady and third overall. Nicola Denning emphasised Cirencester's domination by finishing second and 15th overall with Jill Hadland in fourth place. Recent member Howard Ewan showed that
he will be a great asset to the club by coming in 24th. Full Cirencester results were: 3, Wendy Nicholls 1:31.15; 15, Nicola Denning 1:36.52; 24, Howard Ewan 1:39.56; 34, Lonel Lancu 1:42.22; 38, Jill Hadland 1:43.56; 57, James Widdowson 1:48.10; 63, Geoff Wells 1:49.45 and 134, Ruth Fulford 2:17.14.

Voter fraud is running rampant and it very alarming! George Soros' voting machines are reportedly in all key states, dead people are voting, illegals are voting, we have voter intimidation, voters are voting multiple times, fake ballots already filled out in Hillary's favor.
There is absolutely no way that Hillary could win and they lengths that her campaign, the DNC and the White House are doing to ensure her win is downright illegal.
If she does steal the election we are in serious trouble and have some tough decisions to make as a nation, on our own. There will be no doubt in most peoples minds that she is selected to be the elected. Then what? The utter outrage in America will be at a height we have never seen in our country. The Trump supporters will be so furious. Will it be time for millions of Americans to go to Washington DC and protest like they did in Egypt to overthrow Morsi in 2013?
Obama will have three months to reek havoc on our cnation between election day and the day he is removed from office. What might he do before Trump could take office. Many fear an EMP, or WWWIII with Russia, or stirring up more hate violence, will he get all the muslims he has brought illegally into our country to attack us? What if he decides to not leave? He has certainly said that more than once.
One thing is for certain, in order for Donald Trump to win it would have to be by a huge landslide. He will have to have more votes than all the illegal votes Hilary will have. To not vote is to vote for Hillary plain and simple.
People have said there is no reason to vote because it is rigged. One thing you got to remember is that they are creating voters because the votes do count. If you have never voted before, this is the time to vote for the very first time. Our country's future depends on it. If Hillary wins, there is no bright future for us, our children or our future grandchildren. Your loved ones will live in a Socialists society, where they will lose all the freedoms we have all had and where they will have not enough of anything. Mark my word, it is coming.
If you want to vote for Hillary, then don't vote.

Competitive athletes suffering from a sore throat should think twice before popping a lozenge into their mouths.
Or at least examine the ingredients of the throat candy they are about to suck on.
Higenamine, which can dilate the windpipe, was added to the prohibited list for athletes by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the new ruling came into effect this month. The chemical is contained in nandina, small red berries traditionally used as herbal medicine and used in several popular nonprescription throat lozenges.
It's now a hot topic among Internet users due to the popularity of nandina.
The Japan Table Tennis Association (JTTA) sent out official notification of the change in December to coaches and trainers nationwide to make sure players avoid anything with nandina in it.
The prompt notification was made as the national table tennis championship is scheduled to start Jan. 16 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium in the capital's Shibuya Ward.
The JTTA also reminded its players about ephedrine, an active component taken from the ephedra plant. It has been banned for some time and is an ingredient in Asada-ame throat lozenges.
"We would like concerned persons (competitive athletes) to be thoroughly aware of what they take," said a spokesperson from Tokiwa Pharmaceutical Co, which sells Nanten-nodo-ame throat lozenges that contain nandina.
A rumor making the rounds online asserts that the popular herbal Ryukakusan Throat Refreshing Candy includes higenamine, but it does not.
The candy's manufacturer, Ryukakusan Co., posted a statement on its website: "(Ryukakusan Throat Refreshing Candy products) contain no higenamine component at all. Please be assured."
With the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics approaching, The Asahi Shimbun has begun a series focusing on various challenged athletes.
The page features videos of variety of animals. You can view the videos as interactive images that allows you to pan and zoom in to them

Patient lifts are an integral part of the home care setting. They make transfers and daily activities easier and they help eliminate injury both to the caregiver and to the patient. SpinLife carries the top brands including Hoyer patient lifts and Invacare patient lifts.
SpinLife carries a full selection of patient lifts, both manual and battery-powered. We also offer a comprehensive variety of slings, although we only show the most basic and popular slings on our website. If your patient sling needs are more specific, please give us a call at 1-800-850-0335 for help selecting the best sling to meet your needs.
Manual Patient Lifts - These lifts are manual and completely operated by the caregiver. They have hydraulic assists, lessening the weight that the caregiver has to move. These lifts are appropriate when cost is a significant factor, the situation doesn't allow easy access to a power source, or if the patient lift is used for transferring the patient from one room to another.
Power Patient Lifts - These patient lifts are powered either through a standard electrical outlet or by a re-chargeable battery. The lifting is acheived through a hand control, eliminating any physical exertion by the caregiver. Power patient lifts also allow the patient to operate some functions independently as well. All of these models have manual back-up in case of power failure.
Patient Lift Accessories - Don't forget to get a sling for your lift. These are sold separately because there are a wide variety of slings to meet all transfer needs. Contact customer service if you require a specialty sling. We carry the full lines of patient lift slings from Invacare and Hoyer.
Will I be charged sales tax?
Is shipping free?
Yes, if your order is over $50, it will ship for free. (Orders over $50 always ship for free everyday at SpinLife.)
What if something goes wrong with my patient lift?
SpinLife is here to support you throughout the life of your purchase. We honor all manufacturers warranties. If you run into trouble, give us a call and we will get it taken care of.
What if I want to return my patient lift?
SpinLife wants you to completely satisfied with your purchase. If it arrives and it is not what you thought or does not meet your needs, you are free to return it as long as it is in new condition and the original packaging. The only thing we require is that you pay freight to return the purchased item. Make your choice carefully, patient lifts are heavy so the freight costs to return them can be expensive. Please see our Return Policy for complete details.
*Sales tax is applied to certain products shipped to the state of Ohio.

Sand Dryer/ Fote Sand Dryer Price/The Best Dryer Supplier
To make the rotary dryer more and more high-efficient, you can act as the followings. At first, to reduce the hot holes, prolong the period for materials to stay in drum, improve the heat-transfer efficiency and decrease the loss of hot air, you can equip the rotary dryer with the X-shape lifting boards. To install the X-shape lifting boards, you can start from the feeding mouth of rotary dryer. Lifting boards to be installed should have 3 or 5 groups.
Distance between each lifting board should be from 0.5m to 1m. Since raw materials of rotary dryer are featured in the high water content, strong viscosity and low temperature, you should not install the lifting boards at the places that far away from the feeding mouth about 3m. Or else, drying efficiency of rotary drying machine would be seriously influenced.
The sleeve column structure of the rotary drying machine or rotary dryer shortens the dryer length in multiple times. As the heat delivery area is greatly reduced, so is the heat consumption. However, the multiplication heat exchange area increases the heat performance. For those untouchable materials, the multi-drum rotary dryer provides inner smoke tube and annular smoke tube relevantly in the inner drum and external drum. These smoke tubes connect each other through radial tubes to increase high efficiency. It's obvious that hot materials and cold medium, the rotary dryer is also known as sleeve type rotary cooler and kiln dryer.

What is MSURJ?
When the McGill Science Undergraduate Research Journal (MSURJ) launched in Fall 2005 as a student-run initiative to promote and support undergraduate research, it was one of North America's first peer-reviewed journal devoted to undergraduate work. The journal offers undergraduate students from any university the unique opportunity to publish their findings to the McGill research community.
The journal distinguishes itself with its rigorous editorial process; we hold our articles to a high standard of scientific acumen and writing quality: each incoming submission is first revised by our student editorial board. Qualifying articles are then submitted to our peer-reviewers, professors and graduate students who hail from universities all over the world.
Submissions are due January 20th, 2017.
Our diverse editors, united by the mandate to promote undergraduate research, are involved in all journal operations, from soliciting research articles to coordinating the peer-review process and launching the journal. We encourage anyone with strong writing and editing skills and an academic interest in science to apply.
Editorial board applications are due September 30th, 2016.
In addition to providing students with the opportunity to participate directly in the publication process, MSURJ is always looking for ways to encourage student involvement in all things research. In the upcoming school year, we will be hosting a new array of scientific activities to the McGill community ranging from R-workshops to research seminars.
For more information on our upcoming events, please like us on Facebook

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The father of "Heroes" teen star Hayden Panettiere pleaded no contest to assaulting his wife and was sentenced to two years' probation, Los Angeles prosecutors said on Thursday.
Alan Panettiere, 49, could have been sentenced to up to one year in jail for the misdemeanor battery charge stemming from an August 2008, assault on his wife, Lesley.
He was not charged with a felony, which is a more serious category of crime.
As well as sentencing Panettiere to probation, Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel imposed on him a year of domestic violence counseling and $400 in fines.
She also ordered Panettiere to not harm or annoy his wife.
Hayden Panettiere, 19, plays a cheerleader with healing powers on the television drama "Heroes."

See that chart above? It explains a lot of things about the average American worker. It also explains that we, as Americans, can do more to earn better pay, even in this stagnant economy. CNN Money contacted employees at three different service industry companies, seeking information about wages and benefits: Fast food chain Wendy's, big-box retailer Wal-Mart, and warehouse retailer Costco. The chart above basically explains all that is offered to the average worker in terms of wages, benefits, and career paths. While Wendy's and Wal-Mart come across as unsurprising, Costco comes out as a big surprise: A wage that is particularly above what many consider a living wage of $15 per hour, plus benefits and a chance to grow within the organization.
There is a caveat to be made for Costco: The warehouse store charges a $55 annual membership fee to shop at its store, which is a typical practice for these kinds of retailers, also known as warehouse clubs. Thus, it has a better intake of cash to spend on workers. Still, the very fact that Costco, which earned nearly $3 billion in profits, can still make an honest effort to compensate their workers decently says a lot of things about the priorities of those in the service industry. It's also little wonder that Costco received the praise recently of President Obama in a speech. Plus, there are other service industry companies that pay well: Apple Store pays a minimum $14 an hour in San Francisco (making things bearable to live in the expensive Bay Area), and elsewhere provides wages well above the minimum, especially if you provide tech support. In-N-Out Burgers pay their workers well above minimum wage. These two places could afford to spend a little more on their workers, but the point remains the same.
There are many reasons to pay workers better, but the main one remains key: Better wages mean more growth. Precisely because the spending habits of Americans have shifted from credit-based to wage-based, and thus living within one's means, increasing wages will lead to more consumer spending, which in turn leads to more growth. Furthermore, better wages obviously increase productivity, which in turn makes employees more loyal to the company. That corporations are responding by focusing on austerity shows how much actual change needs to happen on the wage front.
