Are you looking for a surrogate mother?
The right decision is to apply to a specialized agency for surrogate mother screening, which as an OFFICIAL organization has to be fully responsible and accountable for all its activities. The specialists give you detailed information which assists us to make the right decisions and ensure that the contract is drawn up correctly. They will present you with their database of surrogate mothers, who have undergone medical tests according to Ukrainian legislation and give you information about the payments made to a surrogate mother in compensation. At IAAM we are able to manage domestic and technical questions about surrogate motherhood at all the different stages of the process. We can choose the best package of services for you personally. If there is a valid reason to change the surrogate mother – IAAM will assist you in this delicate situation. It advises and/or solves all questions in consultation with specialists, protecting your privacy and confidentiality.
International agency "Assisted Motherhood" fully understands its responsibility in such programs and your worries as well as fears, which they will help you to overcome. We, as well as you and the surrogate mother, look forward to a positive result. That is why we have decided to work with the best specialists in reproductive technology – those of the Nadiya Clinic. If you wish, we can assist you if you are under treatment at other clinics. The key is to achieve the goal of motherhood!
"A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step" – as an old proverb says. We will accompany you from the first meeting to the birth of your baby. We will answer all your questions.
The main aim of the official body is to regulate questions and liabilities between the parties. It is a guarantor of your relationships and the observance of legal norms.
Unfortunately, we can neither guarantee you pregnancy at the first IVF attempt nor duration of pregnancy which would be ideal from the medical point of view, but we do assure you of the best specialists in ART.
Surrogacy program
For infertility treatment with the help of surrogacy method the patients (Future parents) must be investigated according to the indications for treating by ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies).
Indications for surrogacy program:
- absence of uterus (inborn or acquired);
- deformation of cavity or neck of uterus as a result of congenital developmental defects or as a result of diseases which lead to inability to carry pregnancy;
- synechias of uterus cavity which cannot be treated;
- serious somatic diseases - when carrying of a pregnancy threatens the health or life of the recipient, but does not influence the health of the future child;
- repeated unsuccessful IVF attempts (4 and more) with obtaining high quality embryos, transfer of which did not lead to the pregnancy.
Algorithm of conducting of the surrogacy program:
- screening of a surrogate mother;
- synchronization of menstrual cycle;
- IVF procedure with embryo transfer into uterine of a surrogate mother;
- Cryoconservation (freezing) of unused embryos;
- diagnostic of pregnancy (control analysis of pregnancy);
- supervision of pregnancy of a surrogate mother;
- delivery (can be cooperated with intended parents).
The chances of receiving pregnancy during the IVF cycle with embryo transfer to a surrogate mother are higher than during usual IVF procedure because the embryos are transferred into a healthy woman.

I am looking for a few children to babysit/teach while parents are away at work. I am available to keep children morning times (early mornings if necessary ) and day time hours. I have several years of experience. I was a pre school teacher for 2 1/2 years. And have had a daycare at my house in the past. I have 2 children of my own 7 and 5 years in age. And have lots of experience with children of all ages. I would charge $100 a week per child. I have a clean, smoke free home on the south side of Springfield. I will provide food unless there is something specific. And if needed I do have personal references.
If you are looking for someone to care for your children please feel free to give me a call.

The inherent problem with New Jersey's municipalities, school districts and counties sharing services to cut costs has always been rather obvious: Consolidation isn't going to generate significant savings for taxpayers unless some people lose their jobs.
No one likes to lay off people. Certainly, no one likes to be laid off. But government exists to provide the greatest good to the greatest number of people. And as painful as it is, the fact that some people will lose their jobs cannot, by itself, be the reason not to enter into shared-services agreements that save taxpayers money.
Gloucester County freeholders have voted to close that county's jail and pay to send prisoners to jails in Cumberland and Salem counties. Gloucester figures it can save $10 million a year starting in the third year of the consolidation.
Cumberland County freeholders have voted to accept Gloucester's prisoners, although the details of the shared-services agreement have not yet been worked out. Cumberland is facing a $12.5 million budget deficit and has a jail with a capacity of 550 inmates currently holding 440. Cumberland officials figure they can net approximately $3 million after expenses by housing 100 Gloucester prisoners at $100 per day per inmate.
Salem County freeholders have not yet voted on the plan, but that county also has a jail housing approximately 100 fewer inmates than its capacity.
Predictably - and understandably - members of the unions representing Gloucester's corrections officers and civilian jail employees oppose the plan. Three unions have filed a suit to block the agreement.
Also, some Cumberland County residents and Freeholder Samuel Fiocchi, the sole dissenting vote on the plan, are worried that the merger would somehow increase crime in Cumberland County.
Frankly, we find that concern absurd.
But the Gloucester jail employees, of course, are worried about being able to continue to put dinner on the table. That's a real concern. And even though they have been promised "first shot," according to the South Jersey Times, for any new jobs in the Cumberland and Salem jails and other public jobs in Gloucester, some no doubt will end up unemployed.
That's not a reason not to do this deal. But it is a reason to do it very carefully. And these Gloucester employees are worried that the plan is being rushed through. Many did not learn of the proposal until they read about it Sunday in the South Jersey Times - three days before the freeholders voted.
That was wrong. And all the counties involved here should slow down and make sure they are proceeding according to the state law on shared-services agreements and with the greatest amount of compassion possible. The plan sounds like a winner for taxpayers. But there will be losers - so make sure this is done properly.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More

Putting standing desks in schools reduces time spent sitting, using screens, and even watching TV.
The New England Journal of Medicine explains why it opposes data sharing: "a new class of research person will emerge—people who had nothing to do with the design and execution of the study but use another group's data for their own ends, possibly stealing from the research productivity planned by the data gatherers, or even use the data to try to disprove what the original investigators had posited." Nope, wouldn't want actual science happening!
People who value time over money are happier.
Two years on a paleo diet had a "significant and persistent" positive effect on liver fat.
Episode 104: Simon Whitfield: Host Brad Kearns sits down with Simon Whitfield, world-famous Olympic triathlete, and Andrew MacNaughton, one of the greatest triathlon coaches in the world to discuss peak performance, the importance of lifelong learning, why an internal positive narrative is so necessary, the danger of getting too full of oneself, the restorative beauty of standup paddling, and much more.

Re: The New England Journal of Medicine.
Loved the Katy Bowman article. She is so cool! When I have to sit, I sit on the floor as much as
possible. And when I get up I try to do so without using my hands or knees????
Mark, you never cease to impress me. You're this generations Jack LaLanne and I'm stoked you brought your message to another large audience. Rogan is a passionate person and I'm off to listen. (Now if we can get Tom Woods with Joe Rogan…)

"Mark, have you ever considered being a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast? I think you'd fit in perfectly, as a lot people in your world have been on there (Robb Wolf, Dave Asprey, Dennis McKenna (brother of Terence), ect…) Plus Joe lives right down the street from you in L.A. (another Hint, Hint..)"
This makes me very happy 🙂
Ludivine. LOL. just goes to show ya, slow and easy training wins the race. I had a really good laugh. thank you.
Thanks so much for showcasing my Short Rib Hash Benedict ~ ENJOY!!
Awesome podcast with Joe Rogan, I hope he gives primal a good shot. I was wondering if you could go into more detail about not refilling glycogen in the muscles after working-out to take advantage of gh production. Thanks 🙂
Hey Mark loved your appearance on the JRE.
Learnt so much from your audiobooks, your not too sharp on the ears and I sense your passion in most issues of conventional eating vs primal.
What's the most and recommended grams of carbs you should have in one sitting?
Thankyou for redesigning the way I'm going to live awesome from here on out!
Mark, I'm dying to know your view on SOYLENT, a new 400 cal 'meal' in a jug, that's meant to provide well rounded nutritious ingredients. Looks like processed, non-primal food to me, with some fancy branding…..?
Another useless "vegetarians and omnivores mortality" study
…more interesting would be to see them compared to vegans: most vegeterians compansate the lack of meat with diary products and eggs/fish/tofu – another sources of bad proteins and toxins
Congrats Mark!
Have been waiting for our message to reach his show ever since I worked for him at Onnit.
The statin piece is interesting. Commenter Bob Niland brought up the issue of those with hereditary lipid problems, but I haven't seen any useful answers there so far. Anyone here care to comment?
I had fairly good results in terms of blood test markers using full flush niacin. But it made me lightheaded and nauseous (besides the flushing), and sometimes resulted in spending up to about 5 hours of my day feeling unwell (due to twice per day dosing). I'd like to hear what other alternatives folks have tried.
I found you through the Joe Rogan Experience. What an outstanding podcast and what an eye opener. I have several of your books including The Primal Blueprint and the 21 Day Challenge books in route as we speak. I look forward to immersing myself in this new data and have high hopes for my future health and well being. Thanks for everything you do.

Headsup: Making Connections
Out this month are two films whose characters suddenly find themselves in circumstances that change their worlds, prompting them to form otherwise-unlikely bonds with each other:
First we have The King of New Orleans, Brian R. Friedman's independent film that follows New Orleans cabbie Larry Shirt (David Jensen, Ocean's Eleven, The Mist, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) as he drives everyone from across the social spectrum around the Big Easy. One of his fares is possibly-expelled Harvard student Bobby Cohn (Richard Brien, Nashville), and the two form a friendship later tested by the epic challenges of Hurricane Katrina. The film won multiple awards at the Napa Valley Film Festival, the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, and the New Orleans Film Festival, and it is the feature-length debut of Allen Frederic (Lee Daniels' The Butler, People), who co-directed the film with creative team Coodie & Chike (Benji, Good Morning). The King of New Orleans will be out on digital platforms (including Amazon and iTunes) on February 21st (timed to tie in with Mardis Gras on the 28th) but is already available on DVD on Amazon for $14.99. No special features on this one, which is sad because it seems like such a heart-centered project for the creators (and I'm sure they have some crazy behind-the-scenes stories they could tell since it was filmed on location in New Orleans). If you simply love independent film and/or New Orleans, though, this may be worth checking out.

"How many times do I have to tell you two not to leave your crap in the strawberry fields?" Katie yelled as she came up behind the Stoll brothers. They were hiding behind a bush, staring out at the bickering couple in front of Zeus's Fist.
"Shush your mouth!" Conner whispered loudly. Luckily, Annabeth and Percy were so loud and caught up in their argument they didn't notice.
"What are you-"
She did not get to finish her sentence seeing as Travis cupped his hand over her lips, silencing her for a moment. Not for long though. Travis pulled back his hand quickly. "You whore! You bit me!" Katie bit the air right in front of Travis's face while he stuck his tongue out at her immaturely.
"Shut up! Both of you!" Conner whispered once more. They both followed his orders and stared back out at the couple.
"What are you guys even doing?" Katie asked, much quieter this time.
"What does it look like? We're spying on them," Travis answered, giving her his best 'duh, you're such an idiot' look, causing her to hit him upside the head.
"That's so mean," she told them. "You guys should be ashamed of yourselves."
"Seriously, Katie, dear. Do you not know us?"
She was about to hit Travis for calling her dear, when Conner sat up a bit straighter, and shushed them, trying to hear Annabeth and Percy a bit clearer.
"I'm sick of this, Percy!" Annabeth shouted loudly. "We're through!" She stomped off into the woods, leaving an equally pissed Percy left in her tracks.
Katie's jaw dropped when she saw Conner jump up in triumph, and Travis's head hang in defeat.
"Twenty bucks, bro. Unless, of course, you want to run around the camp in a bikini again. You do look awfully good in pink," taunted Conner.
"You bet on Percy and Annabeth breaking up?"
"Well, yeah. I mean they break up and then get back together everyday, and cause not only themselves mental harm but everyone else, too," Conner said.
"We're just making it a bit more fun for us," Travis continued while sadly taking out his wallet and giving his brother his well earned money.
"Yes," Conner said, while fanning himself with his winnings, "Much more fun." They all started walking back towards the camp.
"They're just like Ross and Rachel," Travis explained.
"From Friends," Conner told her.
"I know where it's from," she said. "You guys are complete and utter idiots. That is the meanest, cruelest thing I've ever even heard of." But the guys weren't listening to her.
"Ten dollars says they're back together by dinner," Travis bet.
"Dinner? They'll be in each other's pants by archery class," Conner corrected.
Katie scoffed. "They'll be back together by lunch."
The brothers stopped in their tracks. "What?" Travis asked dramatically while putting his hand over his heart.
"Did we just hear that correctly?" Conner questioned. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I thought it was 'the meanest, cruelest thing you've ever even heard of,'" Travis quoted with a terrible impersonation of Katie.
Rolling her eyes once more, she started walking back with the boys right on her tail. "I know what I said, but seriously? Dinner? Archery? You guys are the biggest doofs in the world. They'll definitely be together by lunch."
"You wanna bet on that, Gardner?" Conner asked.
"Actually I don't, Stoll. Unlike you, I'm a nice person, and I don't bet on people's love lives. Why don't you just run along and go ask the Aphrodite girls what they think?"
"But they're Aphrodite girls," said Conner.
"They don't think," Travis finished.
"Look, we're not talking about the Aphrodite girl's intelligence," Katie told them.
"Or lack thereof," Travis snickered to his brother.
"We're talking about how rude it is to bet on -"
"Wait, wait, wait," Conner interrupted. "Lookie there." He pointed over to the pegasus stables. Over in a corner was Percy and Annabeth. Percy was talking to her, with his face completely red and his hands in hers. A second later, there they were, sucking each other's faces off. The conch shell rang for lunch in the distance, and Katie smiled.
She stared at the Stoll brothers with a smirk on her mouth and her hand outstretched. "I'm waiting."
Travis started to get his wallet out once again, but Conner stopped him. "We never agreed on a bet, Gardner. I thought you were the good one. You don't bet on people's love lives."
"Yeah, well, people change."
"You still aren't getting this money."
"Fine then." She moved her hand ninety degrees, ready to shake Conner's. "Right after lunch, they're through because he smiled at the nymph that served him brisket."
"Deal." And they shook hands.
Thirty minutes later . . .
"You were practically drooling over her!"
"Annabeth, I swear, I don't like her! I don't even know her name! All I did was smile because she gave me brisket!"
"I'm so sick of your excuses! We are done, Percy Jackson. Done!"
I know, I know. If Percy and Annabeth were real, their relationship probably wouldn't be like this, but I thought we could shake it up a bit. Also, I just realized how fun it is writing a different character for once instead of just Percy and Annabeth, Annabeth and Percy (with a little Pez thrown in there). Also, I love writing people who aren't in the books all that much because then it's hard to get them all out of character and stuff. Ha ha!
So I don't own anything, blah blah blah, REVIEW!
:) Jordan

Good read that thanks
Sweet! Great summary & good read. Thanks
Excellent summary.
I would add that the excellence of Murray, the arrival of Duffy and the emergence of Sidwell (as a genuine replacement and or starter ahead of Kayal) has DRIVEN every other player to deliver like never before.
For me this impact is typified no better than Uwe whoI nearly voted for as my player of the season such as his performances have been.
His time on the sidelines has clearly had such an impressive impact on him. Yes he had previously appeared capable last season but to bide your time like he did and take the opportunity of Duffy's injury like he has and come out perform better than anyone could have expected takes courage, drive and determination.
He clearly spent his time on the side studying the English game, watching how to defend in this league and I believe through copying Duffy's never say die, won't be beaten attitude he has managed that very rare feat of retraining himself outside his natural game to come in and not only steady, but perhaps better an already bloody impressive defence.
This team has something you can't coach or buy in a bottle and for that we must do all we can as a club not to lose a single one of these heroes and only look to add players who have the right stuff.
Even if you weren't an Albion fan you'd be hard pushed to not be impressed with us this year.
Follow me: http://www.twitter.com/Bigtomfu
I think what your excellent piece boils down to is that pretty much everything, on and off the pitch, has come together and not by accident but by design.
Hopefully it's not a case of a perfect storm, soon to be all over, but can be built on. I suspect for the reasons it has come about in the first place means that it will continue.
Have you seen the Muppet Show........
A brilliant piece of writing. Really enjoyed reading that. Very well done.

Pathans Doing Hilarious Act, Pathans are known for their hospitality, simplicity, righteous, courage and dignity and they formed the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan and the second largest in Pakistan. Pathans are recognized as Pashtuns or Pakhtuns and they follow the rules of Pakhtunwali in their affairs of life. They are very committed to their customs and traditions.Pathans work very hard in entire life and world knows them as fierce fighters because they have the history of showing great resistance against foreign invaders and they never surrendered against any army. The British Empire, Russia and United States of America invade Afghanistan and Northern Areas of Pakistan but ended in disgraceful defeat.Therefore, you cannot control Pashtun people through invasions and history proves it many times. They are born fighters and whoever tried to confront them never succeeded. Not only male members, the Pathan women are also very brave. Pathan women can fight like men and they have participated in many battles in the past.Besides the bravery, fighting skills, hospitality and commitment to their customs and values, people relate few hilarious quotations with Pathans. So many jokes, sentences and acts are linked with them and their image in few people's mind is like a joker or funniest creature of the world.It must be wrong image created by enemies to demoralize them but many times their hilarious acts provided the opportunity to prove it right. Even though they are brave and honored men but people think they don't have the ability to utilize their brains at times and create a scenario where they do foolish or hilarious act.To prove it right they show few visuals in which Pathans were doing hilarious act in a room. Actually they were making fool one of his friends and enjoying the moment when their friend was doing funny things. However, few foolish or hilarious acts doesn't prove at all that Pathans are fool or don't have the ability to use brain. They are brilliant both in using minds and bodies to compete with others.

Remember the change of font tutorials I came up with for the Nokia N9? Well, there's now a similar method to change the N9's background to an image instead of the all-black background. You basically have to design your own background and replace it for a specific file in the N9's file system. You can follow a set of instructions here: MF. This is simple stuff, but does require you to use the terminal on the N9. Make sure you follow the instructions closely, and a backup wouldn't hurt! Anyone has any background they would like to share?

It seems to have a decent tread pattern that isn't going to be stumped by a muddy field and will also perform in the winter. Thoughts?

Just wanted to let you know that I finally got around to updating my guides.
I have finished updating my Carpentry Guide, which to be honest, just really needed a facelift. I am starting on updating my Alchemy guide update now, so hopefully should be done today or tomorrow. And even though I was going to wait for patch 1.19 to start work on my Weaving guide, I am going to begin work on it as soon as I finish updating the Alchemy guide.
In between all of this I will be finishing the remodeling of the individual pages for each class now that I have finished creating the guild pages for each of them. As always, if you happen to visit one of my guides or any of the pages you happen to know I worked on and you see any errors or what not, feel free to let me know via PM or by posting in whatever thread I may have open at the time.
Thanks for all the support. I know many of you have contacted me from time to time in game thanking me or what not. I just want to let you know that I really appreciate the feedback, it helps keep me motivated to continue working on stuff that will hopefully help the community.
Hope everyone is having fun in game! Will update you all here as I finish work on the rest of the guides.

Its working in 4.4.2 at the moment although I have not had time to link any files. Its 220-10-210. Rather than putting up ready made versions, I would prefer to instal from within the TPT Helper myself and creating your own TPT,its better (for me anyway) to use this method rather than installing using Zips. I just think there's less chance of bricking your phone this way, unless someone wants to try the ready made zips on their 736e. VS5
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comagreed.
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comWhen Antiseptic in post #26 used sytem update, to get the 250mb TPT, we did not have access to the amended TPT. The System Update used was on earlier roms, not sure which ones still had it after. gb. Hence the reason for going back to the fibblesan rom to take advantage of it, but now you can still go back to gb first, use amended TPT, reboot into cwm and choose your rom while the TPT updates to your own custom sizes.I have always used the start button with + held down (or is it minus, forgotton for now) then into CWM. Once you select your new rom(eg: 4.4.2) via soft buttons the update works, then when it starts you are open with the new rom and new TPT. The soft keys for the orange coloured menu is used once you have got into cwm, for choosing zips etc then rebooting. The Vivacity/Crescent has usually gone this route from thhe start. Different for SF11 users as they dont have the same button layout.
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comIn summary, these ready made zips posted above are good. (If they don't install for any reason you can use the System Update route). If they are not tailored for you, then refer to post #78 where you can make your own TPT's any size by dialling in your own sizes.By the way Dodgetimmy, if you are in contact with Amphorus, give him a big thumbs up from all of us. He was always on the right path, and his amended TPT cracked it for all of us. Albeit via a route through gingerbread! The Fibblesan r2 worked for me when none of the other roms did.
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comAccording to Amphoras the image bin should be deleted after flashing, which is what I did. But if you go back to Fibblesan,s rom you will definately get the same result, by installing it first followed by tpt amended helper. One of the posts earlier from Antiseptic used a 250 system which was installed via system update using the fibblesan rom ( which I also did using the ready made tpt, but decided I would later go the custom route).
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comShould I try 10mb for cache, or would there be no advantage? .......any hints on Bluetooth?
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comTPT helper from Amphorus (five stars Amphorus, I should say) is working. Use the amended version in an earlier Dodgetimmy post above. Download this rom: http://www.modaco.com/topic/349161-rom-flb2-completely-debranded-gb-rom-r2a/ I used this method, it may be different for you: Boot into recovery (I used cwm 4.0+.) Wipe data/Factory Rest Wipe Cache Partition Wipe Dalvik Cache Install fibblesans r2 zip from card Once back to this rom, I installed the amended TPT helper and used create own tpt, using 220/20/200. Powered off into recovery, where update started and installed Gbosh 4.4.2 and Gapps Checked storage after inserting Link2SD for the following: System 220mb (Used 212mb) free 8.24mb Cache 20mb (Used 1.21mb(Free 18.79mb) Internal 200mb(used 112mb)Free 87.59mb-includes any Link2SD install SD Card28.76gb-used 9.61gb 2nd Partition (Ext3) Total 0.89gb Used 76.23mb-Free 8.24mb Cannot under any circumstances get Bluetooth working properly. It will not pair with my headphones (which have worked with every rom (just about) that I tried previously. Keeps saying Bluetooth share stopped or not working (although it did at one stage say that the pin etc would not work. Tried wiping cache, has not worked. Gbosh can you PLEASE help with this one? Thanks as always in advance. VS5 PS: I suspect that the Cache could be smaller than this, or would this cause problems?
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comAll ok except Bluetooth. I installed the TPT as follows: System: 250mb (used 212 Free:38.24) 15% Free Cache: 40mb (Used 1.12 Free 38.79) 96% Free Internal 150mb(Used 116mb Free 33.80) 22% Free SD Card 28.76gb ( Used 9.54gb Free 19.22g) 66 % Free SD Card 2nd Part ( 0.89gb Used Free 766 mb) 83% Free / Link2SD Partitioned as Ext but came up as Fat? I have reinstalled a lot of apps, so thats why the numbers above look pretty full. Reverted to Fibblesans stock rom (see Antiseptics posted link), then installed via System update. Then installed 4.2.2 KitKat then Gapps 4.4 Seems slower than the 4.0.4 Molten from Gbosh but I could be wrong. Using CWM 18.104.22.168 The Bluetooth is a massive downer for me, having come so far with this phone, as I use it with headphones every da for music. If I can't get a fix (any ideas anyone PLEASE?) I will probably revert back to 4.o4 Molten Motherboard from Gbosh (this guy is on fire!)which will be a big loss. Gbosh please step forward. Thanks again in advance. VS5 P:S I did not trim any apps as I do not know how.
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.com"Yes with a TPT I put 220 in system and 200 in data". I cant locate this particular TPT for crescent, can you provide a direct link please OuahOuah? Thanks
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comI've had this phone for 2 years 4 months now. Am currently upgrading to the Kitkat 4.2.2. rom. Seems a shame if you are right OuahhOuah, as this phone has come on a long journey. Unfortunately I am not very tech savy, so cannot contribute to development. I hope that Gbosh can push this phone to its very limits. Perhaps Marx was right after all, when he scorned ................."Capitalism and its built in obsolescence!" VS5
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comBluetooth. Does anyone have this working yet? I couldn't manage to get a connection, but have had this trouble with other roms. Gone back to 4.0.4 Molten Motherboard where its all ok for the moment.(Keep up the good work Gbosh).
VS5 replied to gbosh's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comHello Antiseptic. Can you tell me which rom you used,and any link, as I am having same problem flashing TPT? Have managed to flash this rom but no space for trimmed gapps. Thanks in advance VS5
VS5 replied to rymate1234's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comThanks for the link. Buttons now working! Special thanks to Dazzazo and Rymate 1234 for some stirling work. VS5
VS5 replied to rymate1234's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comI still don't have any backlights at the bottom. They don't light or press. I downloaded CM9 Kernel Vivacity.zip and installed it last but no result. Is this the right one? Can someone point me to a direct link download please. Thanks in advance VS5
VS5 replied to Dazzozo's topic in ZTE Blade 2 / Crescent - Crescent.MoDaCo.comCan anyone tell me the status of Bluetooth at the moment? Originally I was able to turn it on, see my headset reconised as its original name, pair, but not connect. After reflashing the rom I cannot turn on Bluetooth at all. It stays off and settings shows bt, as 'unavailable'. I haven't been able to get it to work yet on this rom, is this the same for everyone else?..........as ever, maximum credit to Daz & Co. for this achievement. Thanks VS5

im talking about when a girl actually agrees to go out with you, and then ignores you the day of and never gets back to you with an excuse. or never calls you back.
clearly she isn't interested, but why would she agree to go out with you in the first place if she isn't interested?
Most Helpful Girl
I don't do this myself but the only reason I can think of is that maybe she thinks ignoring someone will hurt less than saying "no, I don't wanna go out with you".
Or, you know, because she's a bitch.00|00|0
but she totally offered to hang out first. I said I couldn't that night cause I was genuinely busy, and I offered to hang out the next day and she agreed. next day came around, I hit her up, she ignores me.
Text her that, if she wants to hang out, just let you know. Don't go asking her again, it's up to her now.
i texted her a few days after. f*** her

Tomato Mushroom Green Beans
Recipe by Derf2440
Green beans with a little bite.
Top Review by Bergy
Another winner Dorothy - I did the recipe in a wok, did the garlic and Italian seasoning in about 1 tsp of lite olive oil, added the mushrooms, jalapeno and beans after 5 minutes added the tomatoes, seasoned with salt & pepper, stir fried for about 3 minutes longer and perfect. Tender crisp beans with the added flavor of mushrooms , garlic & tomato I cut the recipe in half - no problem. Because I stir fried I did not need any water. Very tasty recipe, again, Thanks Dorothy

WATCHUNG - In recent years, most young people's knowledge about the judicial system has come through daytime television programs such as "Judge Judy" or "The People's Court."
To rectify this situation, 11 students in Elaine Chesebro's gifted and talented fourth-grade class at Bayberry School were given the opportunity to take part in a mock trial Wednesday, Feb. 27 at a real-life venue - Watchung's municipal court facility on Somerset Street.
Borough Judge Lawrence Latore was on hand, but "presiding" was student Christopher Farina, 10, who was wearing judge's robes.
The fictitious case concerned defendant Tony Hawk, portrayed by Erika Lampert, who was charged with throwing a rock through an elderly person's window. Hawk claimed there was a set-up, and that another group of kids had perpetrated the crime.
Students also took the roles of prosecuting and defense attorneys, witnesses and a bailiff. One student even was cast as a reporter, wearing a fedora with "Press" on his headband, just as all the reporters did in those 1930s courtroom drama movies.
Assistance Provided
Fortunately for the students, they received some legal aid over the past few weeks from self-employed attorney Wendy Robinson, whose son attends Bayberry but was not in this class, "I showed them how to ask questions in court, and what types to ask," she said.
Latore gave instructions to Farina on the bench about objections and opening and closing arguments.
The students had prepared all their information on index cards, and the only spontaneous part of the trial was Farina's decision, which in this case was not guilty.
Before the "trial" began, Latore talked with the students about the judicial system. He noted that virtually all communities in New Jersey forego juries at the municipal court level, instead letting the judge render the verdict. The only exception, he said, was in Harrison in Hudson County.
'A Pretty Good Job'
Latore later said he believed the students did "a pretty good job" with the mock trial, the second held in the new courtroom since the police and court facility opened in November 1999.
Other students participating included Marco Serino and Christina Vu as defense attorneys; Ronnie Rowe and Damon Major as prosecuting attorneys; Mike Reagan as the elderly man, Mr. Wiley, and Kellie Waryn as his wife, Leslie; Chris Del Mauro as the bailiff; Will Hering as the reporter; and Emily Rundlet as Sandy, a witness for the defense.
The fictitious cases are provided by the American Bar Association to help young people understand the legal system.

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T (NYSE: T), the governors of 16 states, including Pennsylvania, and the mayor of the District of Columbia joined today to announce an innovative educational program aimed at enhancing the skills of the nation's math and science teachers. Over the next three years, AT&T said, middle and high school teachers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will compete for the opportunity to participate in the new AT&T Teachers & Technology Institute. Governors and the mayor will select the winners from candidates who have been screened by a panel of experts from AT&T. AT&T said it hopes its Teachers & Technology Institute program will attract the nation's most creative and innovative mathematics and science teachers. The company views the program as a collaborative effort with the teachers to explore new visions of education. In all, 153 winning teachers -- to be designated Governors' Fellows -- will attend intensive two-week workshops during the course of the program, starting with 51 teachers this summer. The latest teaching tools and techniques will be employed, such as networked, interactive video communications, and the workshops will be conducted by AT&T experts in quality and education, including scientists and engineers from AT&T Bell Laboratories. Bell Labs people have brought the world many of this century's key inventions and developments. The staff includes Nobel Prize winners and world-renowned physicists, mathematicians, engineers and information science experts. Advancements from Bell Labs include the transistor, the laser, information theory, stereo sound, communications satellites, glass fiber communications systems, the UNIX(R) computer operating system, video communications and many others. "Here at Bell Labs we value the power of creative thinking," said Arno Penzias, vice president of research at Bell Labs, and a scheduled speaker in the program. "We also believe that well-prepared, highly motivated teachers are an indispensable link to preparing young students of today for the workplace of tomorrow." Penzias said experts from Bell Labs and other AT&T organizations will act as teachers, lecturers and workshop leaders during the two-week program. "We are very glad to afford this opportunity for the Governors' Fellows to be exposed to the exciting environment that made the kinds of discoveries and inventions at Bell Labs possible," Penzias said. Starting in 1993, the AT&T Teachers & Technology Institute will offer middle and high school teachers the opportunity and challenge to work on their own visions of the future. To be chosen a Governors' Fellow, a teacher must have demonstrated a visionary approach to math and science teaching and articulate that vision in his or her application. Full-time math or science teachers of grades 7 through 12 in any U.S. public, parochial or private schools are eligible to compete. (Interested teachers may obtain an application through their school, or by calling 908-221-7350.) A panel of AT&T experts will select six finalists per state, and the governor of each state (and the mayor of the District of Columbia) will then select the three Governors' Fellows from his or her state. The other three finalists will serve as alternates in the event any of the selected candidates cannot attend the program. Fifty-one teachers will be selected by 16 governors and the mayor of the District of Columbia to attend the 1993 program to be held July 18 through July 31 in Somerset, N.J. During their training, the Governors' Fellows will: -- Explore with their peers new visions of the future of math and science education and create plans for implementing these visions. -- Investigate with Bell Labs scientists how the latest technologies will affect their classrooms and their lives. -- Discuss with AT&T executives the basic skills students need to be successful in the workforce of the future. -- Discover how corporations apply those skills in the business of creating, manufacturing and marketing new products and services. -- Take home new tools, ideas and plans for the future of science and math curricula to share with their students and communities. "America needs a skilled workforce to remain competitive as a nation," Penzias said. "The global communications infrastructure, and the application of communications and information technologies will determine who wins in the new global economy. More important, we believe that responsible citizenship today requires that we all have an understanding of basic quantifying and analytical skills." Penzias said AT&T feels strongly that corporate America must do more to help teachers and students make the educational process more useful for future employment. "AT&T and every American corporation need skilled employees to compete successfully in the global marketplace," Penzias said. "That's why we are willing to invest more in the nation's teachers and educational system. We're interested in ensuring that today's schools teach useful skills and have a meaningful curriculum that prepares students to become productive members of a highly skilled and motivated American workforce." States participating in the program this year are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia. The AT&T Teachers & Technology Institute is among a broad range of educational programs sponsored by AT&T and the AT&T Foundation, the company's philanthropic unit. AT&T programs support every educational level, from elementary, middle and high school, to college undergraduate and graduate. AT&T supports education through direct funding, product donations (networked computers), and through numerous innovative projects in collaboration with such agencies as the Mathematical Sciences Education Board and MATHCOUNTS. The company is also one of the sponsors of National Science and Technology Week. AT&T has produced two nationwide broadcasts of "Live from AT&T Bell Laboratories" shown in classrooms throughout the nation. The next "Live from AT&T Bell Laboratories" will air April 28. /delval/ -0- 3/16/93 /CONTACT: Donna Alexander, 215-963-1869, or home, 215-342-4433, or Andrew Myers, 908-221-2737, or home, 908-522-9485 both of AT&T/ (T)

Statistics: Propensity scores
From MathWiki
|Table of contents
A few notes on propensity scores
The propensity score is a predictor of the probability of being in a treatment group versus a control group. We can think of an analogue in the conditional expectation of a continuous predictor variable using other covariates. Although the resulting prediction is not a propensity score in the strict sense it has, nevertheless, some linear properties that are similar to those of the propensity score.
I am sure that the following results are well known and I would be very interested in being made aware of a source.
Basic concept
The idea of the propensity score is based on the idea of a coarsest conditioning partition. For a linear analogue, consider a regression of a vector of responses, , on two sets of predictor variables contained in two matrices and The vector of least-squares regression coefficients on is where

Let be the projection matrix onto the orthogonal complement of .
Now since since and .
Thus, is the regression coefficient of on .
This is the basis of added-variable plots and an early theorem of Econometrics known as the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem. [Thanks to Barry Smith]
We could take this a few steps further and show how the residuals are the same and R2 is the same as partial R2 in the multiple regression, etc. But all we need to do here is to contemplate the resulting formula for :
The formula reveals that, given X1, depends on only through or, equivalently, P2X1 since Q2X1 = X1 − P2X1.
In other words, if we replace with a different set of variables, , say, then will have the same value if that is, if the predicted values from regressing on are the same as those from regressing on .
Now, the smallest such space is where is the least-squares predictor of X1 regressing on , i.e. the linear analogue to the propensity score.
Balancing spaces
We can call any space represented by a basis matrix, , that produces the same residuals when is regressed on it, a 'balancing' space [actually this is an inappropriate borrowing from the expression used in the context of propensity scores. I'm sure these concepts are well know, probably in Econometrics ... help1].
It can be shown that is a balancing space if and only if
Better proofs
There are better ways of seeing this that reveal how the linear analogue of the propensity score allows to be decomposed into a sum of two orthogonal subspaces.
Broader approaches
This discussion is based on the assumption of a linear model. The concept of propensity scores is developed in a broader context in which the relationship between and controlling for is not necessarily linear. Still, we only need to include the prediction (not necessarily linear) of on .
But then, we can't merely treat as a linear predictor. We need to condition on actual values of i.e. treat it as a categorical variable or a suitable approximation: intervals as categories or a non-parametric fit.

As Cranks Get Town Hall Time With Royce, Websites Help the Rest Struggling With Healthcare
Cranks who wouldn't know true socialism from extreme botulism get to take some swings at Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) beginning this afternoon.
Royce holds a 1 p.m. town hall in the Buena Park Senior Activity Center, 8150 Knott Ave. (just south of La Palma), Buena Park. It's actually billed as a "Combat Fraud Forum: Information on Identity Theft, Mortgage Loan and Lending, Investment Scams, and Charity Fraud," and representatives from the Federal Trade Commission, the California Office of Privacy Protection and the United States Postal Inspection Service will be on hand.
But cranks who rail against Obamacare don't need no stinkin' topics! They'll show up anywhere and everywhere there's a Member of Congress to spew what Rush has programmed in 'em.
That's not all: Blogger Deborah White, who attended Royce's health-care town hall on Aug. 8, reported on TheLiberalOC that her congressman and his staff sat back and watched as 16-page magazines were distributed with a "ludicrous cover" depicting Adolf Hitler casting an admiring glance at President Barack Obama, who was surrounded by adoring throngs of Third Reich adherents.
Perhaps similar shit will be spread around Friday when Royce mixes into the West Orange County Legislative Committee's 12th annual Legislative Mixer, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at Park Avenue restaurant in Stanton. The West Orange County Legislative Committee draws from chambers of commerce in Cypress, Stanton, La Palma, Seal Beach and Los Alamitos.

You know: Hell.
Other politicians who swear they'll be there for the "relaxed, casual atmosphere" include state Sen. Tom Harman (R-Huntington Beach), Assemblyman Jim Silva (R-Huntington Beach) and Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach.
Obamacare is not on the agenda, but no one said it can't be. And all topics will be open for discussion (i.e., ranting) when Royce hosts "Coffee With the Congressman" from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday at Kelly's Coffee, 9783 Chapman Ave., Garden Grove. Call his office at (714) 744-4130 for more details.
But before doing that, town hall cranks ought to pipe down long enough to listen to Jeannine English, president of AARP California, who says talk of "socialized medicine," "rationing healthcare" and "death panels" is a scare tactic.
"Myths" like these are not part of the reform legislation pending before Congress, English adds.
What is a fact, English will tell you, is more than a million people between the ages of 50 and 64 are uninsured in California, and many more are under-insured. Royce and others in Washington must take action now on behalf of all Americans. The American Association of Retired Persons-California directs you to Health Action Now! for more information.
As for those covered by what the Fox bunch calls "the greatest healthcare system in the world" (even though the World Health Organization ranks the U.S. at 34th, between Costa Rica and Slovenia), a new website has come along to help Californians battle "junk" insurance, inflated charges and the aggressive collection practices of private hospitals, physician groups and health-insurance companies. Visit Health-Access.org should you need assistance.

Although many pundits believe the Houston Astros should be rebuilding after suffering through only their second losing season since 1992, it sure doesn't look like the team's decision-makers agree. Given the chance to replace Craig Biggio with much-needed youth and signal a new direction, the Astros decided to send five young players to Baltimore for Miguel Tejada this offseason. Rebuilding? Fuhgetaboutit.
Fantasy owners shouldn't care too much; the Astros will send a good offense onto the field every night, with each hitting slot likely featuring a draftable player. That might be where the fantasy interest ends, though. Houston's No. 2 and 3 starters appear to be Wandy Rodriguez and Woody Williams. That just can't be good.
Let's focus on the positive. The Astros improved their middle infield over the winter. Tejada will get his first chance to hit in the National League and in a ballpark that favors his tendencies as a right-handed pull hitters. If Biggio can whack homers in Houston, Tejada certainly can. The top of the order was stabilized, in theory, with exciting speedster Michael Bourn taking over in center field and Kazuo Matsui signing on to play second base. The Astros should run, and the middle of the order, led by Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee, will hurt bad pitching.
Of course, the Astros might give all those runs back, but that's not your problem as a fantasy owner.
Ballpark: Many folks incorrectly refer to Minute Maid Park as Coors Field South, but that's not the case. In fact, the "juice box," as it was once nicknamed, was one of the better pitchers' parks in the league in 2007. According to park factor , Minute Maid was the sixth stingiest park in the majors when it came to runs scored in 2007. Home runs are hit there, but that number should decrease once Woody Williams retires. In fact, the last time Minute Maid was a top 10 hitters' park was 2003. The fact that few people have noticed that is a good thing, though. Biggio, who was in steep decline in his later years, kept hitting home runs; he hit 57 bombs during his last three seasons, and 41 of those came at home. This bodes well for Tejada, as well as third baseman Ty Wigginton, and it should hide Lee's eventual decline, too.
Top sleeper: A season ago, Wigginton was a Tampa Bay Devil Ray, and he went largely unnoticed in fantasy drafts. Has anything changed? Well, the Astros' offense is an interesting mix of stars and newcomers, but Wigginton doesn't fall into either camp. He came over from Tampa in a late July trade for Dan Wheeler, and Wigginton seemed to enjoy his new home ballpark, hitting six homers at Minute Maid Park in only 89 at-bats. Don't forget his second-base eligibility; that alone makes Wigginton one of the more underrated middle infielders in fantasy; he has hit 46 home runs the past two seasons.
Intriguing spring battle: The most fiercely contested battles will be for rotation slots. The winners, however, probably won't help fantasy owners much. So we'll look behind the plate, where it's that ancient fable of youth versus the really smart and really old. Prospect J.R. Towles exploded on the fantasy scene in mid-September with his eight-RBI game at St. Louis, and he batted .375 in the final two weeks of the season. He showed some power in the minors, and the Astros think he can handle the everyday catching duties. Brad Ausmus was brought back for another year to mentor the kid, but the fact that the Dartmouth grad has averaged more than 130 games the past three seasons could make this a timeshare. It worth taking a chance talent wining out, though, and that Towles becomes a top-15 catcher.
Trainer's room: Four of the hitters in Houston's projected starting lineup spent time on the disabled list in 2007, but will any of these injuries remain problems going forward? Matsui raises the biggest red flags. He signed on with the Mets before the 2004 season, and in four seasons in the majors, he has never topped 114 games. Whether it's because of his knee, hamstring or chronic back problems, Matsui is unlikely to play in 154-plus games this season. He was very productive in the 104 games he did play in 2007, though, with 84 runs and 32 stolen bases. Pence and Tejada had wrist injuries in 2007, neither of which is expected to remain a problem. Bourn's issue was a sprained ankle, but he did return in September without a hitch in his giddyup.
Schedule preview: The Astros think they're contenders, and if that really is the case, fantasy owners should be pleased to see all the big guns out there in September. Even if the team flops, Lee, Berkman and Tejada don't generally miss many games. Houston opens the season in San Diego, which shouldn't be fun for the offense, but that might be the wisest time to choose an Astros hurler not named Roy Oswalt. We'd advise you to scram from non-Oswalt pitchers after that, though; the 'Stros have four road trips comprised of three or more series in the season's first half. Wandy Rodriguez, who is notorious for his extreme home/road split differentials, would be of more use in the second half.
Future closer: There's certainly nobody at the major league level to peg as a safe closer should something befall Jose Valverde. Doug Brocail, now 40 and a veteran of two angioplasties, is the likely setup man, and it is encouraging that he posted similar numbers on the road and at home despite pitching for the Padres last season. Rubber-armed hurler Geoff Geary comes from Philly, but he's oh-so hittable and was even sent to the minors a few times in 2007. Oscar Villarreal can't get lefties out. Other than that, he's OK. Based on the way the Astros are spending money, one would think Valverde's replacement, should it be necessary, would come in the form of a trade or free-agent signing. Ultimately, Valverde needs to be healthy, and successful. Strikeout-heavy right-hander Bud Norris, a sixth-round pick in 2006, will be 23 by Opening Day and could fit the role of closer down the line.
Backups to watch: In addition to bringing in a few marquee starting position players, the Astros also were quite active in getting veteran depth. And when we say veteran, we mean veteran. Bourn should start in center field, but if he can't hack everyday play, fellow left-handed hitter Darin Erstad will get another shot. Erstad hasn't done much since his improbable 240-hit campaign in 2000, but with decent playing time, he could steal double-digit bases. Mark Loretta and Geoff Blum back up the infielders, and neither will run or hit for power. Loretta is a bit interesting, though; he hits in the .280s every season and currently has full-time eligibility at each infield spot.
Fantasy studs: Berkman and Lee will be top-30 players, at worst, in most every league, but what about Oswalt? Was 2007 the beginning of a decline, with all those innings catching up to him? The first half of his season wasn't what we've come to expect from Oswalt, but the second-half ERA of 2.57, with a better K rate, made us smile. Don't expect 20 wins, but Oswalt should be a fantasy ace.
Prospects to watch for 2008: Towles seems up for good at catcher, but watch for hard thrower Felipe Paulino, who likely will get some starts this season considering how Houston's rotation looks right now. Paulino didn't fare well during his brief trial in 2007, allowing 15 runs in 19 innings, but anyone who throws 100 mph warrants a look.

4 Common Skin Concerns – And Solutions
By MH Staff - Posted on 17th April 2014
We polled women on what bothered them the most about a man's skin. Here are their concerns, and our solutions.
Sweat and soap dries out the skin and causes acne – opt for a body scrub to mildly dry out your back, says dermatologist Dr Dagmar Whitaker. "In minor cases, keep your skin dry and wear loose fitting clothes with natural and cool fibres." If the acne gets out of control use a vitamin A cream like Differin or Retin-A or go see a dermatologist".
Use neutral cleansers like unfragranced glycerine bars or cleansing lotions, and apply moisturiser after washing your hands, says Whitaker. Tip: keep both at your sink as a reminder.
Cracked heels are caused by the build-up of dry skin. "If you're looking for a quick fix use Medipod heel balm with peppermint and tea tree oil on your cracked feet," says Whitaker. "Wrap it up with cling film, put some socks over your feet and sleep with it on – any build up should be gone in a few days."
We often lean on our elbows and don't use enough moisturiser. A lotion containing urea cream can help your skin retain moisture.
