Ladies are often aware that the freezing Winter is a little bit wicked in making them gain weight, often unconsciously. Holidays gather around the end of year. Family reunions, friends' parties all crowded, along with irresistible delicacies! Months later, however, women may find themselves in a disaster that Spring has come but they haven't lost weight yet. Spring is the last chance to lose weight as hot dresses are already in the shop window.
Thinking of losing weight through exercise, people may feel it too hard and exhausting. Actually, to lose weight properly, people can choose some aerobic exercises. An aerobic exercise can be fast walking, jogging, yoga, and many other not-so-intensive but fat-loss-effective training activities.
Yoga is highly recommended. It's mild and slow, but to keep those yoga poses for minutes may cause sweat all over. It can effectively shape the body and increase the strength and flexibility. Taking yoga training, there's no need to go to gym or get too many tools and equipments. Yoga clothes, a yoga mat and a training DVD are practically enough. Also, a yoga stability ball may help ladies pose properly.
Waist and abs are hard to slim down. Besides Yoga, some slimming fitness tools can be helpful, such as a massage slimming belt and an Ab circle exerciser to help wriggle down the extra layer around one's waist and abdominal region.Without having to do a single sit-up, the user will see a dramatic decrease in that extra layer winter has put on her.
To keep up with the exercise results, weight scales and calorie counters are also extremely useful. Ladies may start to exercise from early spring, or just begin right now. So, you can actually stock up on all these weight loss helpers–a lot of ladies may need them to make themselves in shape by the time Spring has sprung!

Emerging Markets Morning Roundup: No Tapering, EM Rejoice; Temporary Reprieve, More Vol Ahead
The Fed pleasantly surprised the market with the decision not to taper.
Emerging markets in Asia rallied today. The Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index advanced 4.7%, followed by the Stock Exchange of Thailand SET Index (3.6%), the S&P BSE SENSEX Index (3.6%), and the Philippines Stock Exchange PSEi Index (2.8%). China and Korea are closed for the rest of the week. Hong Kong Hang Seng Index closed 1.7% higher. Hong Kong will be on holiday tomorrow as well.
Indonesian rupiah gained 4.2%. Indian rupee gained 2.4%. Malaysian ringgit jumped 2.6%.
In CEEMEA, the Borsa Istanbul National 100 Index gained 7.4% this morning, MICEX Index gained 1.7%, FTSE/JSE Africa Top40 Tradeable Index was up 2.2%.
The Fed's decision not to taper off this month is certainly a reprieve for emerging markets but fundamental problems persist: emerging markets are not growing as fast as before, making them a less attractive asset class.
And it is not that analysts no longer expect the Fed to taper off QE. They are just pushing back by a quarter, starting in December instead. For example, Barclays analyst Michael Gapen:
We now expect tapering to begin in December [Barron's: before, September] with a $15bn reduction in asset purchases, with a decrease of $10bn in Treasury purchases and $5bn in MBS purchases, and expect the FOMC to finish the asset purchase program in June 2014, three months later than we previously envisioned. The delay in unwinding the asset purchase program also leads us to delay our expectation of the first rate hike; we now expect that in June 2015, later than our previous expectation of March 2015.
So deja vu? Or emerging markets are out of the rut and now we are starting to see value AND momentum? The debate is on.

The Public Health Ministry confirmed the 15th swine flu-related fatality on Friday.
The ministry's Bureau of Epidemiology said the latest death was a 63-year-old woman from Samut Prakan province. She suffered from valvular heart disease, high blood pressure and a lung infection.
She died on Thursday night and the ministry was notified on Friday afternoon.
More than half of the flu-infected patients were between 11 and 20 years old, the bureau said.

The best and most effective way of preventing the spread of harmful bacteria either to food, or to another person, is to wash hands and to cover mouth when coughing or sneezing.
And I have to mention it here:
In a recent survey carried out in local business premises (of all kinds)* the following question was asked:
Do you wash your hands every time, after using the lavatory?
Women - 87% said yes. 5 % said infrequently. 8% said never.
Men - 4% said yes. 8% said infrequently 88% said never.
Wash - your - hands - !!!
And in every bathroom everywhere (particularly in premises where cooking takes place), the loo flush-handle, light switch and sink taps should also be wiped with an anti-bacterial cleanser.
It's easy, it's quick, it's effective.

High wind warning after several wildfires put out
BOULDER — The National Weather Service has issued a high wind warning after several wildfires broke out on Monday.
The weather service said Tuesday winds could gust to 50 miles an hour in the mountains and Front Range, with warm temperatures and low humidity. The weather service says the fire danger will be high in those areas.
On Monday, a small grass fire northwest of Boulder was contained to half an acre. Another small grassland fire was contained in Douglas County after residents were notified to be ready to evacuate, but no evacuations were ordered.

Inswing Dutch Door
An interior shelf option is available. If used in an exterior application, we offer a swing screen on the Clad Inswing Dutch Door.
All exposed exterior surfaces of our frame head and side jambs are covered with .062" extruded aluminum. Interior frame and panel components are manufactured from kiln-dried, preservative treated Douglas Fir. Ponderosa pine is available as an option. Interior surfaces are unfinished clear wood, ready to prep for stain or paint. An optional factory applied interior primer coat is available.
Panels are covered with .075" extruded aluminum. Panel stile and rail interiors are 1 3/4" thick kiln-dried, preservative treated Douglas Fir. Ponderosa pine is available as an option. Top and bottom rails are solid material and engineered for strength and stability. The panel stiles are laminated and engineered. Stiles and rails in top panel are 4 5/8" wide. Bottom panel top rail and stiles are 4 5/8" wide, bottom rail is 6 13/16" wide.
The maximum frame height is 96". The maximum panel width is 36".
Extruded aluminum frame corners are sealed with acrylic sealant and foam pads and mechanically fastened. A continuous extruded aluminum nailing flange is an integral part of the frame extrusion.
The jamb widths for the Clad Inswing Dutch Door are 4 9/16", 6",
We offer a multitude of glazing options, as well as four panel insert selections. Versatile options: glass in top and/or bottom; panel inserts in top and/or bottom.
A single-point locking mechanism that secures the bottom panel to the side jamb is standard. The top panel can be ordered blank or bored to accommodate hardware from your specialist.
The extruded aluminum clad exterior on Sierra Pacific windows and doors features a finish composed of durable 100% flouropolymer powder coating thermoset to meet AAMA 2605 standards. Powder coatings are more friendly to the environment than liquid coatings for many reasons, including:
- Powder coatings emit near-zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Liquid coatings are a major source of man-made VOCs.
- The application of liquid coatings requires additional energy usage to operate the thermal oxidizers and scrubbers necessary to lower the VOC emissions generated during the wet paint process.
- Powder is solvent free. Application of powder does not require the use of solvents necessary in liquid coating applications.
- Powder coating is an EPA recommended finishing system, contributing to the Green Building Initiative.
- Powder coated finishes have more surface hardness and scratch resistance than common liquid coatings.
|Note – Anodized suppliers are regionally based to our plants, so don't mix and match.
|Colors on screen may vary from physical colors. See your local representative for actual cladding samples.
The standard hardware set features a corrosion resistant stainless steel, single-point locking mechanism that secures the bottom panel to the side jamb. A keyed lock is available as an option.
Both interior and exterior handle sets are forged brass for strength and durability and a smooth, blemish free surface.
Hinges are available in finishes to coordinate with the handle sets.

Choosing the Correct Glazing SystemToday's architecture features ever increasing expanses of glass to capture views and allow natural light to illuminate interiors. Choosing the correct glazing system (the glass and the spacer between the panes of glass) for your climate, exposure and architectural design is one of the most important decisions you will make during the construction process. Sierra Pacific's advanced glazing system features a 100% polymer structural foam spacer by Quanex, (the world's only NO-Metal Warm Edge insulating glass spacer) paired with high-performance, spectrally-selective low-E glass.
Warm EdgeIn order to overcome the thermal inefficiency of conventional aluminum window spacers, a new type of spacer product called warm edge technology has evolved in the window industry. Warm Edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass in an insulated window unit. If the material conducts less heat or cold at the edge of the glass than a conventional aluminum spacer, it is said to be "warm-edge." Most of these newer window spacers are less conductive and outperform pure aluminum. But there's still one small problem -- they all contain some kind of metal. And metal is highly conductive. Unlike other so-called "warm" edge spacers that contain steel or aluminum wrapped in butyl rubber, the Quanex spacer is made of 100% polymer structural foam. The NO-Metal formula conducts less heat and cold than conventional metal spacers and provides the warmest possible edge.
The NO-Metal Warm Edge:
- Assures comfortable humidity levels and reduces worries about condensation and mold
- Resists window condensation
- Reduces energy costs
- Provides long-life durability
- Reduces outside noise transmittance
- Structural thermoset foam spacer reduces the stress on the system therefore reducing stress on the glass which results in less stress cracks and reduces stress on the sealant increasing sealant effectiveness
- Globally tested and proven spacer system
Ideal Glass PerformanceThe insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on the comfort factor inside your home or commercial building. Typically 75% of the exposed surface of a window is glass, and the temperature of the interior surface of the glass directly affects the air temperature in the room. The better insulated the glass, the more comfortable the room. Sierra Pacific offers many glass options, including energy efficient, spectrally-selective low-E insulated glass, tinted, obscure and specialty glazings.
See our Technical Section for NFRC Thermal Performance Data
High Performance Double Coat Low-E Insulated GlassReduce Heating and Cooling Loads
High performance insulated glass with two low-E coatings blocks more solar heat than ordinary low-E and clear glass. The oppressive heat of the sun is composed of visible light and invisible infrared energy. Insulated glass produced with two low-E coatings allows the daylight to pass through the glass and filters out solar heat. In fact, it blocks a large percentage of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and delivers a performance improvement in winter nighttime insulation (R-value) compared to non-coated air-filled insulating glass.
High Performance Triple Coat Low-EInsulated Glass
Insulated glass with three low-E coatings delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. This glass provides year-round comfort and energy savings, making it a good option no matter where you live. The secret is a triple layer of silver in the coating stack. It is formulated to reject solar heat while maintaining attractive visibility. It keeps the heat out while letting light in.
Sierra Pacific also offers a wide variety of glazing options to meet your requirements including:
Our interior simulite bars are made from clear Ponderosa Pine or Douglas Fir and are available in either Colonial or Contemporary profiles in three widths: 7/8", 1 5/16" or 2". In addition, we offer a 5/8" Putty profile in clad and wood exterior, and a 7/8" Atherton profile in wood exterior only. Insulated units with simulite are standard with an internal shadow bar to give the appearance of authentic divided lites.

Northernmost Texas Nest of Least Grebes Discovered
RICHLAND, Texas — The most northerly least grebe nest ever recorded in Texas has been spotted at Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA).
Hayden Haucke, a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist, was surprised to see two least grebe adults and five half-grown chicks last month while visiting a pond in the south unit of Richland Creek WMA, where least grebes were first seen this past spring.
This northerly sighting is highly unusual because the birds are a non-migratory species and are predominantly found south of the Nueces River in South Texas. There is only one record of a more northerly nest globally, reported in California in 1946.
The least grebe is a water bird that resembles a small duck and is dark gray with a bright yellow eye as its distinguishing marker. Least grebes can fly but do not migrate. Once settled into a particular body of water, they generally do not move. While not rare, least grebes are sought after by ornithologists and birdwatchers, who travel to South Texas in order to pump up their life lists with species generally not found elsewhere in the United States.
"Least grebes breed almost any month of the year on the coast and in South Texas," Cliff Shackelford, TPWD Nongame Ornithologist said. "The climate is typically mild and the environmental cue there is the water depths in the wetlands and resacas."
Shackelford believes that the least grebe pair spotted at Richland WMA is likely a function of dispersal possibly in response to drought or overcrowding in the south. He is concerned though about the birds surviving when the first real cold front hits Texas this winter.
"Time will tell if they will survive there permanently or not," Shackelford said.
The Richland Creek WMA is located east of the Richland-Chambers Reservoir dam in Freestone and Navarro Counties. The area is split into two units. The north unit is located north of US Hwy 287 and the south unit is accessible from FM 488.
The public is welcomed to go and see the rare bird. Visitors 17 years of age and older must possess a $48 Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH) or a $12 Limited Public Use Permit (LPU). Visitors who still have a Texas Conservation Passport may also enter the WMA until the pass expires. Entry to the WMA is permitted only during daylight hours and at designated entry sites.
For more information about Richland Creek WMA call (903) 389-7080 or visit the Web (http://tpwd.texas.gov/wma/).

APTOS - A man and woman from rural Aptos were killed at their home Sunday, and a 39-year-old transient was arrested hours later after a manhunt, according to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were first alerted to a "family disturbance" just before 5 p.m. when a woman called 911 to report that someone had run over her husband with a vehicle outside their house on the 100 block of Ridge View Road. She said there had been a struggle and the line disconnected, according to emergency dispatches.
Around 7:50 p.m., deputies arrested James Henderson, 39, in connection with the slayings.
According to neighbors, Henderson's parents live at the house on the 100 block of Ridge View Road.
Deputy April Skalland declined to identify the couple killed pending notification of family.Deputies said they found a person dead in the front yard and another dead inside the home when they arrived.
The suspect had fled on foot before deputies arrived, leaving his car at the home. An almost three-hour manhunt ensued, and law enforcement made calls to everyone in the neighborhood warning residents that a suspect, considered armed and dangerous, was on the loose.
"This is crazy. I'm nervous to go over there right now," said Dawn Rogers, who house-sits frequently in the neighborhood.
Henderson was found in a neighbor's yard after deputies conducted a "systematic search yard to yard," deputy April Skalland said. There are no other suspects in the case, she said.
Authorities didn't release causes of death or a motive in the double slayings, which mark the seventh and eighth homicide in the county this year.

Jan. 18: Marco Topete, an 18-year-old from Watsonville, was riding a bike in an industrial area on Second Street near Walker Street in Watsonville when he was shot several times, police said. He died at the scene. Police said Topete was not a gang member but it was a gang-motivated shooting. No one has been arrested.
Feb. 9: Pauly Silva, 32, was shot several times outside a bar on the 1000 block of Cedar Street in Santa Cruz about 12:30 a.m. A 1990s Mercedes was spotted leaving the scene and its description was relayed to authorities. Watsonville police stopped the car near South Green Valley Road minutes later and detained two men. A third man was arrested in Santa Cruz. They were held on gang-related charges as police investigated their possible involvement in the shooting, police said. Those three have not been named as suspects. Silva of Santa Cruz was a plumber, a father of two and a martial arts expert. Police say he was not a gang member.
Feb. 15: Marco Ortega, 18, of Watsonville, was shot multiple times in the upper body while attending a girls soccer game at Watsonville High School around 8 p.m. He was taken to Watsonville Community Hospital, where he died.

Feb. 26: Santa Cruz police detective Sgt. Loran 'Butch' Baker, 51, and detective Elizabeth Butler, 38, were killed by Jeremy Peter Goulet on the doorstep of Goulet's home on the 800 block of North Branciforte Avenue. Police had arrived to investigate Goulet's alleged role in a groping and break-in. Goulet, 35, took the deputies guns and car and led police on a 30 minute manhunt where he was shot and killed about a block away on Doyle Street.
Feb. 28: Felipe Reyes, 20, was chased by four men near Lincoln and Alvarado Streets and stabbed to death about 3 p.m. Police said the investigation is being treated as gang-motivated. Watsonville police arrested Andres Rocha, 17, and Eric Romero, 15, both of Watsonville, late March 1 and early March 2. On March 6, police arrested Oscar Vaca Vargas, 20, of Watsonville and an unidentified 17-year-old male from the Watsonville area.

Topic: just can't keep anything down
the last few weeks have really been tough, more pain but the most aggravating thing has been the vomiting, almost every day. I don't get nausea, just the urgency you feel in your cheeks just before you're about to hurl and then I lose whatever meal(s) I've eaten in the past day or two. I am really wondering if I have some kind of high up obstruction, I am passing gas and although somewhat constipated I am still able to move my bowels. The stuff I am throwing up is often undigested, even the stuff I ate up to 24 hours. Needless to say my appetite has not been great and I am losing more weight. I joke that I have finally reached my Weight Watchers goal but in reality this is no laughing matter. Anyone else experience this? It just gets so depressing, especially since people who haven't seen me for a while say how good I look (yeah? lose 45 lbs in less than 3 months!)
On the other hand, I had my post sirspheres CT scan last week and will be getting the results from the oncologist tomorrow, don't see the interventional radiologist until the following week. The way I have been feeling does not give me a good feeling about the outcome, but I am hoping for the best.

The 10-minute European/U.S. session chart above simply makes the break above balance and subsequent push higher a bit easier to digest. Without a doubt, the most important takeaway from this chart is the successful throwback/backtest of the thickest node on the composite volume profile (the throwback is highlighted in green, and the node is highlighted in light yellow). This throwback and subsequent push higher indicates that demand was both intact and expanding, and that the long-side was indeed the correct side to be on....448 more words left in this article.

NEWPORT BEACH – As concerns about rising sea levels for beachside cities increase, Newport Beach officials are looking at a myriad of options to save valuable beachfront property in and around Newport Harbor.
So far, most of the talk has focused on an estimated $50 million to $60 million plan to increase the heights of the harbor's low-lying seawalls around Balboa Island. But city officials and residents got to see another option at a recent Tidelands Management Committee meeting – a $250 million tidal gate.
The gate proposal will be heard by the City Council at its 4 p.m. Tuesday session, with details about how the 900-foot-long tidal gate would stretch across Newport Harbor's channel entrance, raising and lowering with the tides to minimize the effects of sea-level rise to the harbor and homes within.
According to Dale Berner, president of Oakland-based Ben C. Gerwick Inc., the gate would protect the harbor from King Tides – the highest tides of the year – that often inundate parts of Balboa Island's streets and sidewalks.
"On top of that, this gate could be designed to resist sea-level rise up until close to the end of the century," said Berner, who showed the Tidelands committee similar tide control structures operating in Venice, Italy and the Netherlands.
According to a 2012 committee report from the National Research Council, sea levels along the California coast are projected to rise about 6 inches by 2030 and more than 3 feet by 2100. Coastal cities are working to find ways to protect their infrastructure, and Newport Beach City Councilman Edward Selich has been at the forefront of the issue, looking at seawall improvements for the harbor and now the tidal gate.
If installed, the concrete or steel flaps that would make up the 600-foot-wide gate would rest along the harbor floor until high tide. As the tide comes in, the gate would be raised by either hydraulic rams or inflatable bladders that would lift the gate to the closed position, keeping the incoming tide out. Once enacted, the gate would remain upright, barring vessel access in and out of the harbor until the tide had lowered to safe levels.
"It's interesting to think about, but it also comes with this astronomical price," Selich said.
But in comparing the tidal gate with the cost of seawall replacement, Selich said it could be worth looking into since many of the harbor's other seawalls require heightening, and the groundwater below Balboa Island continues to rise, increasing chances for flooding during high tides.
"If you run the projections into the future, we're not just going to be replacing seawalls, but with the rise of groundwater too, we'll have to raise streets, house pads and sidewalks," he said. "I want to see how the tidal gate balances against the cost of raising all of the infrastructure."
But even with the tidal gate, a seawall or higher sand barrier along Balboa Peninsula would need to be built, as the area often floods from the ocean side when a storm event combines with a high tide, officials said.
"If you choked off the harbor entrance, you would still have the peninsula, and you'd have to control flooding over the beach regardless," said Newport Harbor Resources manager Chris Miller.
The issue of sea-level rise has come to the forefront of many Orange County coastal cities vulnerable to flooding.
In Huntington Beach, city officials are working on updating the General Plan – last changed in 1996 – to include $100,000 in the budget to fund studies showing what effects that climate change and a rising ocean could have on the city.
"Back in 1995, we didn't have as many houses that were right on the beach, but with the annexation of Sunset Beach, we do now," said Huntington Beach Mayor Connie Boardman.
California Coastal Commission senior coastal engineer Lesley Ewing said cities along California's shrinking coastline will have to take a hard look at protecting their infrastructure and calculate sea-level rise when planning future development.
"We're encouraging cities to plan not just based on historic events, but to look forward at potential hazards that could be damaging to structures in the future," Ewing said.
A 2009 Pacific Institute Study estimated that by 2100, sea-level rise along California's coast could exceed $100 billion in economic impacts without proactive planning.

What is a great way to emphasize energy efficiency in a home? What is a great example of conserving energy? How could a student, or group of students, promote such a message in their community?
The competition challenges student teams to create an ingenious, 27-second message about energy efficiency.
NPPD, together with its wholesale partner utilities, is again sponsoring this energy efficiency video contest.
Last years competition saw more than 40 videos submitted to NPPD, with Chambers High School taking top honors followed by David City High School.
The contest gives students the opportunity to learn the importance of conserving energy, build awareness about energy-wasting habits, and promote energy-saving alternatives.
Energy efficiency and conservation continue to be important parts of NPPDs long-term strategy to meet its customers growing energy needs.
We know the cheapest and greenest kilowatt is the one we do not use. NPPDs wants younger generations to know and understand the importance of energy efficiency and energy conservation, stated Chad Johnson, NPPDs community relations and education specialist. We are looking for creative ideas on video from students to convey that message.
The contest is open to Nebraska students in grades seven through 12 in communities served by NPPD and its wholesale utility partners. Entries must be submitted by a school sponsor, be exactly 27 seconds in length, and should focus on creative and unique energy-saving ideas for the home, school, farm, or business. In order to be considered, entries must be submitted by April 5, 2013, via NPPDs website at http://v1.nppd.com/videochallenge/.
All qualifying entries will be posted on www.nppd.com and on a special YouTube channel. For the Creative Video Award, a panel of energy industry experts will select the top three video winners. First place will receive an Apple iPad2, along with prizes for team members involved in the submission. The video with the most views on YouTube will receive special recognition as the Popular Video and receive certificates of recognition.
The winning schools and students may be featured in NPPD news releases, social media sites online, and through other publicity media by NPPD. Additionally, the selected commercials could be considered for professional production and possible placement in a statewide media campaign in 2013. Winning schools will be notified by 5 p.m. April 9, 2013.
Its Easy Bein Green! video contest is sponsored, in part, by NPPDs EnergyWise efficiency incentives program, which offers incentives to homeowners, businesses, and agriculture, and by NPPDs GreenSchools program, an environmental service-learning program that inspires students to take personal responsibility for improving the environment at their school, at home, and in their community.

The Ukiah City Council tonight will likely discuss whether the City of Ukiah should sue for the right to be able to use the millions of dollars it received from bond sales in 2011 for infrastructure improvements related to a potential Costco store.
Last week, Assistant City Manager Sage Sangiacomo said city staff was still evaluating its options in regards to use of the bonds, and that any talk of possible litigation would likely be scheduled as a closed session during the next City Council meeting.
So far, the state Department of Finance has rejected $6.2 million worth of contracts between the former Ukiah Redevelopment Agency as not "enforceable obligations," which means the city cannot use that money for traffic mitigations requested by Costco.
At previous City Council meetings, Sangiacomo said city staff had "exhausted our administrative remedies (for being able to use the bonds)," and legal remedies would likely be necessary.
"The basis for the disagreement between the city and the DOF arises from different interpretations of the statues that apply, and the issues are not going to be resolved at the administrative level," said City Attorney David Rapport.
"The major bone of contention remains the funding agreement between the city and the former URA," Rapport continued, explaining that the original legislation dictating the dissolution of the state's redevelopment agencies said "an enforceable obligation does not include any agreements between the city and the URA, but another part of the legislation said the Successor Agency could re-enter into an agreement with the city with the approval of the Oversight Board. If the DOF does not act within three days of that new agreement, it becomes effective."
Rapport said the Oversight Board to the URA's Successor Agency approved such an agreement on June 20, but on June 28, another law became effective that said "you can't do that if it would create an enforceable obligation that the DOF had previously rejected.
"If (we) can't pay the bonds back directly, all (we) could do is stick that money in an account and try to get whatever interest (we) can," Rapport said. "The bond indenture says the tax increment can only be used to pay back the bond, it can't be used for anything else, so the money would just sit there."
In the meantime, the draft version of the Environmental Impact Report for the planned Costco store on Airport Park Boulevard is nearly ready for review, according to the Ukiah Planning Department.
Senior Planner Kim Jordan told the Ukiah Planning Commission that the draft EIR will be ready Jan. 30, and said a public hearing on the document will be scheduled for Feb. 27.

A WINCHESTER supermarket has been given permission to extend its opening hours.
Waitrose in Stockbridge Road, Weeke, applied to extend its hours from 8am—10pm to 7am-11pm.
Branch manager Alison Pilling told a city council planning committee last Thursday (Dec 13) the supermarket needed the extension to compete with local shops.
She said: "On the back of the unprecedented financial recession, the grocery sector has more competition than ever before. We would like the flexibility to be able to react to changing customer demand, particularly at Christmas and Easter.
"The site being open longer is unlikely to increase traffic by any discernible amount as the majority of customers will still shop within normal hours. But we want to make Waitrose more accessible to the minority."
The majority of the committee agreed, approving the proposal by 11 votes to one.

Ok first thing's first. This is my dream Wrestlemania line-up and it's perfect for me. I completely understand that a lot of people would hate my booking, but I felt like sharing as a lot of people have shared theirs recently.
It's on the premise that WWE can hire anyone they want despite other commitments (say TNA for instance) and everyone involved is healthy and medically cleared to compete.

Saying they feel excluded and underrepresented by the City Council, more than a dozen East County residents of Chaldean descent spoke out for nearly two hours at Tuesday's City Council meeting in El Cajon.
"I have heard some complaints about the unfair treatment of Chaldeans and other minorities," said Bishop Sarhad Yawsip Jammo of St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Church in El Cajon. "There is no need to stereotype everything. We are here to collaborate, to build this city. We are here to extend hands, to help each other, to build the great city of El Cajon."
Mark Arabo, who heads the Neighborhood Market Association, rallied minority community members to "confront the City Council on their actions against various groups of El Cajon." Arabo said Tuesday's dialogue was the first of many rounds that the Chaldean community is prepared to do as they undertake a fight against what he feels is unfair treatment. Arabo said the immigrant community is looking for more inclusion and fair representation.
One way to that, Arabo noted, is for El Cajon to do what Chula Vista did, and that is elect council members by geographic district, with district boundaries drawn by a citizens' commission. Escondido is in the process of making that change.
There are an estimated 50,000 Chaldeans living in San Diego County; about 27,000 of the immigrants are in the East County. Of those, 10,000 to 12,000 are El Cajon residents.
After Arabo and several others spoke, City Councilman Gary Kendrick said the reason for Arabo's frustration is that "he failed at his job" as head of the NMA in stopping a city ordinance that aims to keep tabs on businesses that sell alcohol to serial inebriates and to underage consumers. Although he later publicly apologized for singling out Arabo, Kendrick said he believed Arabo "is trying to change the council (makeup) to overturn" the ordinance.
Kendrick said El Cajon "has never had any hint of discrimination" and that two members of its Planning Commission, Adel Dankha and Star Bales, are of Chaldean heritage. Bales spoke at the meeting and defended the City Council against discrimination complaints, as did fellow Planning Commissioner Tony Sottile.
Arabo said the discrimination in the city is overt.
"We have a problem in El Cajon, a problem that is more than just comments made by the current mayor," Arabo said, referring to a story from The Progressive, a magazine that calls itself a "leading voices for peace and social justice" in America.
The story from May 2013 and written by Arun Gupta, is called "Little Baghdad, California," and described Iraqi immigrants and life in El Cajon. The article quotes El Cajon Mayor Mark Lewis making what Arabo and others who spoke on Tuesday felt were derogatory comments about the Chaldean community.
Arabo and several other speakers made reference to part of the article that says that "Lewis says some Chaldean schoolchildren who receive free lunches are 'being picked up by Mercedes Benzes.' "
"First time, they come over here, it doesn't take them too long to learn where all the freebies are at," Lewis is quoted as saying.
Lewis did not deny the quoted material, but said he was concerned with anyone who would allow their children to get free food and not need it, not specifically anyone of Chaldean background.
Former state Sen. Waddie Deddeh, noting his 27 years of "serving and representing everybody faithfully," was passionate in his defense of the community, and said "I was fairly shocked" about Lewis' statements. Deddeh said that "Chaldeans have a history, a great history."
"This is our home, this is our country," Deddeh said. "We came here because the Statue of Liberty told us, with open arms, give me your tired, your huddled masses... (Chaldeans) came answering the Statue of Liberty. We are looking for mercy, kindness and understanding."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A "second chance offer" nearly cost a Jacksonville business man thousands of dollars. Now he wants everyone to know how he was the target of a scam on eBay.
It was a van Tom Braddock needed for his Servpro business. When he found a used one for sale on eBay, he was excited.
"Painted Servpro green and with a decal, it's a rolling billboard," Braddock said. "Hey, I thought if I can get it for my price, it's a good deal."
But as the bids kept going up, Braddock lost out to someone willing pay a little more.
"The winning bid was $22,000. My bid was $19,000 and something and it said that I didn't win," Braddock said.
He thought the auction was over, but a couple of days later he opened his email and saw a second chance offer. Braddock responded and said he wanted to buy.
"He sent me another email that the guy that won was avoiding him and he was in an airport getting ready to go out of town and that if I was still interested, I could buy it," explained Braddock. "I emailed him and asked what the price would be? He said it would be your highest bid."
The offer looked really legit, exactly like the real second chance offers. But, it was the email address that tipped Braddock off. It didn't match anything about the dealership selling the van. The company's information was listed in the ebay auction. Braddock decided to call them.
Braddock explained to Channel 4 how he confirmed the scam.
"I said 'I'm calling about the van.' He said the van sold last week. I said 'I just got an email for a second chance bid' and he said we don't give second chance bids."
Braddock was lucky. Had he sent the money, he would have been out just shy of $20,000.
"I just happened to look. Had I not, I would have sent him the money thinking I got the van and I would still be waiting for my van to show up," Braddock added.
Here's what fraud investigators suggest eBay shoppers should do; For starters, don't assume a second change offer that comes in your email is real. Anyone can look at an auctions bid history and get your information.
You should only trust auctions and offers that come via the eBay site. Even then, double check. Call the dealership, store or individual seller to make sure that the sale is legit.

A BAYONET charge at a German trench and a life-saving water bottle are among the stories in First World War diaries kept by the Wiltshire Regiment.
The documents are to become part of a vast online database being compiled by the National Archives to mark 100 years since the start of hostilities.
The 2nd Btn caught the full brunt of the German onslaught after arriving at Ypres on October 14, 1914. In one battle alone troop strength was reduced from 1,100 men to just two officers and 54 other ranks who escaped being killed, captured or wounded.
But the Battalion distinguished itself as a stubborn unit prepared to fight to the last man.
In a daring attack on a German stronghold called Maltz Horn Farm in Trônes Wood, during the Battle of the Somme, the 2nd Btn took and held objectives, despite 240 casualties.
The unit received 23 decorations for gallantry. The logs, often hastily written in pencil, also describe how the 2nd Btn was surrounded during the German Kaiserschlacht offensive on March 21, 1918.
The Wiltshires lost 22 officers and 600 other ranks.
Another entry gives a bizarre demonstration of the thin line between life and death when a shell hit a British trench in the Rue De L'Epinette trenches on May 18, 1915.
It reads: "During the bombardment the old German trench near M3 was practically destroyed. But headquarters remained there till a shell burst though the parade and the fuse struck the CO's water bottle, probably saving the life of the Adjutant Capt Ponsford who was immediately behind it."
The diaries of the 1st Btn also detail acts of incredible bravery, including a bayonet charge to retake Royal Irish Regiment trenches captured by the Germans near the village of Neuve Chappelle in north west France.
Capt PS Rowan, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and mentioned in despatches three times, led his men forward on October 26, 1914.
The entry reads: "Capt Rowan led forward this party with gallantry, and, attacking the Germans with the bayonet, drove them back from RIR trenches, C Coy now occupied those trenches until the RIR came up. Rifles now put into these trenches and pushed up towards the left."
The Wiltshire Regiment battalions were heavily drawn from men in Swindon, and several soldiers are buried at Radnor Street Cemetery in Old Town, which contains 104 Commonwealth War Graves.
Military historian and local author Mark Sutton said: "A lot of research is taking place with the centenary and the war diaries allow us to follow the Wiltshire Regiment through the war, which has included people going to France and retracing their footsteps.
"The Regiment served with distinction and at one point prevented Ypres from falling. Much of what they did went unrecognised so the dairies are a brilliant way of finding out about what they did during the war."
The 1st Btn records are part of an online project by the National Archives to 'tag' 1.5million pages of war diaries, drawing out information such as names, places and dates.
Once the process is complete the information will be collated and published by the Archives. The 2nd Btn diaries will also be placed on the Operation War Diary website – where members of the public can add the notes – before the end of the year.
For more information visit www.operationwardiary.org Meanwhile, the Swindon in the Great War project will mark the town's war effort with a series of events 100 years on from the start of hostilities.

Topic: cyberknife and insurance coverage
I am finishing my second cycle of chemo and am scheduled for cyberknife in December and my insurance company(Blue Cross Blue Shield) has just denied me. They claim that cyberknife if "experimental" and not covered by them. Has anyone been through this with their insurance providers? Has anyone been covered for cyberknife or won an appeal for it with their insurance providers? i would appreciate any information anyone can give me. Thanks.

Visitors to the Salt Lake City school district's website won't have any trouble distinguishing Alama Uluave from the other board members. Amid the collared shirts, coats, and ties, he's the one wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
A Polynesian immigrant, Uluave is the district's only nonwhite board member. He also holds that distinction in Salt Lake County, which is home to three other districts. But as the area's minority population grows, so does the significance of his presence on the board.
"Just to see my face on the wall of members at the school district, people get really excited about it," said Uluave. "They feel like, 'Hey, somebody's battling for us who understands us.'"
Uluave, who was elected to his first term by only one vote, is no stranger to adversity.
Now, the challenges he has confronted -- learning English, living in poverty, and battling a debilitating disease -- are helping him make decisions for Salt Lake City families who face similar obstacles.
Just over half of the district's 25,000 students are ethnic minorities. The largest groups are Hispanic and Pacific Islanders. "Traditionally, at least in our city, minorities have been underrepresented in management and administration, and haven't been as involved in decisions that affect children," board President Doug Nelson says.
Uluave hopes to change that. Recently, a minority community member from a neighboring town called Uluave and told him he inspired her to run for office.
"That's how I'm making an impact," he said.

Topic: So glad that I found you!
Hello big hearted members! Although I am making my first post, a lot of your stories and posts have already helped me a great deal. My dad who I love with all of my heart, was diagnosed with inoperable bile duct cancer about 2 months ago. The first signs of his illness were found during a routine Dr. Exam. A test showed that his gallbladder was functioning at 0% and then his liver enzymes were extremely elevated. While waiting for all of those test results over a weekend ...jaundice set in. That's when the Dr's began to really understand what was going on and two days later we got the diagnosis of bile duct cancer. It has already been a very scary roller coaster ride for he and my mother. Like so many others, he underwent the procedure to have 2 drain tubes inserted and as a result learned that his cancer is inoperable due to it being wrapped around his portal vein, other arteries and veins. The cancer is also beginning to spread into his liver. He ended up staying in the hospital for 5 days that go around. He is home now and contemplating on whether to try chemo or not. He has been all over the place with this one. He is doing his homework and plans to make up his mind this week. He is weak, loses his voice often, experiencing some pain, having trouble sleeping and scared! I know that he is trying to be strong for my mother....so him!
Dad is 68 years old and he and mom have been together since the 7th grade. They are the cutest couple I know. Until Dad's recent hospital stay, they had only spent one night apart...amazing I know! Needless to say, my mother is a mess and has already had to get put on an anti-depressant. The hardest part for me is that I live in Wisconsin and they are in Ohio. I have already made a couple trips back home. I truly hate living so far away right now!!! I want to be there for them and spend as much time with dad as I can.
It is amazing how life can change in an instant! I am so grateful that I have found this website. It is a wealth of information, stories and connections. I thank all of you already!

Clemson holds on to defeat Georgia Tech 56-53
Fri, 15 Feb 2013 03:28:22 GMT —
ATLANTA (AP) - K.J. McDaniels scored 14 points and Milton Jennings blocked a potentially tying 3-pointer at the buzzer, preserving Clemson's 56-53 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night.
The Tigers (13-11, 5-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) extended their domination of the Yellow Jackets (13-10, 3-8), sweeping the season series and winning their seventh in a row overall.
Georgia Tech rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half and had a couple of chances to force overtime. Chris Bolden missed badly on a drive with about 10 seconds to go, but the Yellow Jackets got another chance after Jennings made only 1 of 2 free throws. Mfon Udofia took off down the court, looking to get off a 3, and he appeared to have an open look when Daniel Miller delivered a pick to free up his teammate.
But Jennings came up from behind to strip it away, and the Tigers celebrated.

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro. The new Thunderbolt port wasn't a feature that had me excited. The only reason was I had no idea how fast it was. I was listening to Andy Ihnatko speak on the Macbreak Weekly podcast and in passing he mentioned it was 15 times faster than Firewire 800. It's so fast it's similar to having a PCI card or chip directly inserted into the motherboard of your computer. I know we don't need more power but now I am looking forward to a new UAD, RME and large external SSD all with Thunderbolt.

Corn futures are following through on last week's late gains. The corn market was clearly depressed by beneficial early-summer weather and huge fall harvest prospects for weeks, but seemed to post a significant low last week. Nearby futures bounced above short-term moving average resistance on Friday and are moving higher again this morning. September corn gained 3.5 cents to $3.6925/bushel Sunday night, while December climbed 3.0 to $3.80.
The soy complex is also high in early Monday trading. The soymeal market seems to be leading the whole soy complex higher at this point, especially after July's NOPA crush report (issued Friday) was the largest in five years. Having nearby bean and meal futures overcome short-term technical resistance is also encouraging bulls. September soybean futures rallied 7.5 cents at $11.10/bushel early Monday morning, while November futures rose 2.0 cents to $10.54. September soyoil inched up 0.03 cents to 32.90 cents/pound, and September soymeal added $2.8 to $391.1/ton.
The wheat markets gave back a portion of Friday's gains. Wheat futures rallied late last week as the industry worried about a Russian invasion of Ukraine and precipitated a shortage of wheat coming from the Black Sea region in the near future. In actuality, little seemed to happen in that area over the weekend, so traders appear to be reversing their positions. September CBOT wheat slid 4.75 cents to $5.465/bushel in early Monday trading, while September KC wheat dipped 3.25 cents to $6.165/bushel, and September MWE wheat sagged 1.75 to $6.1025.
Cattle futures posted a late-Friday surge. Cattle futures bounced late last week on news of emerging cash market stability. The news likely reflected relatively firm southern Plains trading. Concerns about further cash losses may limit this week's upside potential. October live cattle futures bounced 0.40 cents to 147.75 cents/pound in late Friday trading, while December futures advanced 1.25 to 150.90 cents/pound. Meanwhile, September feeder futures leapt 2.05 cents to 215.10 cents/pound and November futures jumped 1.87 to 213.65.
CME hogs moved mostly higher Friday. Tumbling cash and wholesale prices had recently depressed CME futures, although the markets apparently stabilized Thursday. The spot markets proved quite weak again at noon Friday, but only the nearby October future ended the day lower. Traders seemingly think the mid-summer drop has largely run its course. October hogs ended Friday having dipped 0.30 cents to 94.95 cents/pound, while December rallied 1.30 cents to 89.05.
A fresh report of weak Chinese demand may be undercutting cotton futures. Although it wasn't really news, a weekend report that July Chinese imports had fallen 17% annually is probably weighing on the cotton market to start the week. Nearby futures are also bumping up against moving average resistance. December cotton skidded 0.04 cents to 64.31 shortly after sunrise Monday, while March futures lost 0.14 cents to 65.11.

There has been a presumption that Los Angeles Lakers power forward Pau Gasol would have to go at some point. He hasn't fit in particularly well with new coach Mike D'Antoni, and with the Lakers well over the luxury tax threshold and well out of the playoff picture, Gasol's contract would be the best to move in order to limit the team's looming tax hit.
Even Gasol himself can read the writing on the wall. He told the L.A. Times' T.J. Simers that he and D'Antoni attempted to make peace at dinner a few weeks ago, but not much came of it.
"It was an effort on our part to try and come to an understanding," Gasol said, according to the report. "But I don't think it's translated to an understanding. Nothing significant has happened; it's probably even gone a little backwards."
At this time last year, Gasol was wringing his hands over having his name thrust into just about every trade rumor that floated out of L.A. But now his initial frustrations with the way this season headed for the Lakers—and with his demotion to the bench—have given way to clarity.
With D'Antoni in place on a five-year contract and center Dwight Howard a target to be re-signed this summer, Gasol doesn't see much of a place for himself with the Lakers anymore.
"He has his philosophy and system, and the Lakers hired him," Gasol said. "It's not his fault. His philosophy is to play with one big guy and four guys spread out, so then he had to make a decision: Dwight or Pau?"
General manager Mitch Kupchak has said that the Lakers are not looking to make any major changes ahead of the Feb. 21 trading deadline, but Gasol is one guy who sounds as though he does not believe that.
At the very least, if Gasol is still with the Lakers after the deadline, he sounds fairly sure he won't be in L.A. to start next season, not if D'Antoni and Howard are there, too.
