The flag of Palau was adopted on 1 January 1981, when the island group separated from the United Nations Trust Territory. As with the flags of several other Pacific island groups, blue is the colour used to represent the ocean and the nation's place within it. While this puts Palau in common with the Federated States of Micronesia and other neighboring island groups, the disc on the flag (similar to that on Japan's flag) is off-centre like that of the flag of Bangladesh, but in this case represents the moon instead of the sun. The current flag was introduced in 1981 when Palau became a republic.
Previously, the flag of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands was flown jointly with the United Nations and American flags. The flag's very simple design belies the depth of meaning attributed to it. The explanation for the choice of colours is rooted in the history and customs of the Palauan people. The bright blue of the field, which might be assumed to be symbolic of the Pacific Ocean, is in fact a representation of the transition from foreign domination to self-government.[citation needed] The golden disk, which sits slightly off-centre toward the hoist, represents the full moon. The Palauans consider the full moon to be the optimum time for human activity. At this time of the month, celebrations, fishing, sowing, harvesting, tree-felling, and the carving of traditional canoes are carried out. The moon is a symbol of peace, love, and tranquility.
Futaranosuke Nagoshi (名越二荒之助), a Japanese professor who studies international relations, made mention of a probable relation between flag of Palau and that of Japan.[1] According to his idea, the motif of the moon is a kind of homage to the Rising-Sun flag and describes the symbol of amity between Palau and Japan. In a related matter, former Palauan President Kuniwo Nakamura once said with an ironical smile, "That's one way of putting it."[2]

Boston law students spending week in Detroit
DETROIT — There will be no sand and waves for a group of Boston law students on spring break. The future lawyers are rolling up their sleeves and coming to Detroit.
Four students from Boston University law school are volunteering this week at Michigan Legal Services, which serves people who typically can't afford legal help.
Camilla Johnson, Diane Lu, Elizabeth McIntyre and Netta Sofer will work with people who are facing foreclosure or have other legal issues.
Assistant Dean Maura Kelly says the school wants students to see needs in other areas of the country. Boston University law school is sending students to 10 other cities in states such as Mississippi, Texas, Missouri and Louisiana.

text: Right, I've done my searching and I thought I would create this thread as I'm confused about what I read. I read a post which Paullie created asking how to make the DRL brightness its full setting (100%) when the sidelight switch is used, as it said that they are dimmer when the side light switch is selected. Paullie then said that the solution for Sportbacks is Module 09 / Byte 18 - change from 2B to 2C. I have done this, but can't see any difference - is this correct for only a certain year of car? I have a 2011 car, and my standard setting in Byte 18 is 2B. The reason I wanted this mod done, is that I have auto lights, and the headlights come on way to early (i.e. it is still very light and not dark enough for full beam with side lights). A few other people commented that the DRL's on auto lights - were brighter in the daytime when the full head light has not come on. I also tried changing the setting to 26 (as Paullie said this was what worked for her in her facelift 3 door), as her standard setting was 25. Can anyone confirm the correct way to increase the DRL when only the sidelight option is seletected on the Sportback model?

Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Bodies and Shadows: Caravaggio and His Legacy introduces the work of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), one of the most popular artists of the past, rivaling in fame both Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. The stories of Caravaggio's life are legend, more myth than history, describing traits of personality, including passion and brutality, that came to describe the unique qualities of his work. He revolutionized painting in Rome at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th century. The exhibition, made up of 56 works in all, including a record eight works by Caravaggio himself, covers the evolution of his style. Caravaggio's legacy is expressed in work by about twenty artists from Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands who carried into the late 17th century the strangeness, beauty and raw emotion of his work.
This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Musée Fabre de Montpellier Agglomération, the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, under the auspices of FRAME (French Regional American Museum Exchange). The Los Angeles presentation was made possible by The Ahmanson Foundation. The national tour was made possible in part by Sotheby's, the Annenberg Foundation/GRoW Annenberg, the Robert Lehman Foundation, and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, and is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities
The exhibition is presented under the auspices of "2013: Year of Italian Culture." The installation was designed by Frederick Fisher and Partners Architects.

Tips to get rid of rough and dry feet:
1. Slippers or flip-flops which have hard sole can harden the foot. This can make the soft ankle feel hard and rough on touch.
2. To get rid of rough and dry skin, soak your feet in warm water for 15-20 minutes. It not only exfoliates the skin and removes dead cells but also feels relaxing. This foot care tip is good to cure foot pain.
3. Rub pumice stone to remove dead skin from the foot and soften them. It is good to soak the feet in water and clean with a soft brush before rubbing pumice stone.
4. Always moisturize your foot at night before going to bed. This softens the skin and keeps it moist. It is one of the simple tips to get rid of rough and dry foot.
5. If you are comfortable wearing a socks on bed, wear them to keep the skin moisturized. Apply body lotion nicely and wear the socks.
6. Apply petroleum jelly on the feet especially ankles. Hard ankles due to slippers can be easily cured with petroleum jelly.
7. Always wash your feet after returning home. During summers, you wear sandals, walk on the beach, play barefoot. This can spoil the softness and harden the foot.
Try these tips to get rid of rough and dry skin and soften them! Summer foot care is easy and simple.

I have a husband, Richard, who is an eighth grade English/ newspaper teacher at a rival middle school in Rialto. We have two sons, Niko who is 18 and Lee who is 16. They both have been home-schooled. From 1981 to 1984 we lived in Dortmund, Germany and from 1984 until December of 1987 we lived in Barcelona, Spain. During that time I shared a job with my husband at the Berlitz School of Languages teaching conversational English.

Monty McClure knows what Winder-Barrow should expect from Paulding County this afternoon.
The Winder-Barrow coach grew up in Marietta, which is about 20 miles west of Paulding County.
"I'm familiar with area," McClure said. "That's good-caliber softball over there. It's going to be a challenge."
Winder-Barrow will play at Paulding County in the second round of the Class AAAAA softball tournament.
Paulding County (14-14) advanced to the second round after 1-0 and 6-3 wins over Sequoyah last week, two years after the Patriots advanced to the Class AAAAA finals in Columbus. Winder-Barrow (14-15) defeated Miller Grove (21-4) in three games last week. The Bulldoggs won the first game 3-2, lost the second 6-5 in eight innings and won the deciding game 12-10 on Friday.
"We started off pretty good and thought we had it in the bag and let off," senior Erin Harbin said. "We came back and did what we were supposed to do."
Harbin is one of six seniors on Winder-Barrow's roster this season. This is the first time Harbin has played on a team that has advanced to the state softball tournament.
"We've always had the talent through my years of playing," Harbin said. "We've crumbled under pressure. This year, we got stronger at the end."
Winder-Barrow won three games in the region tournament, including a 16-1 victory over Cedar Shoals in the Region 8-AAAAA play-in game.
McClure estimates that Winder-Barrow has played nine teams that are still competing in the state tournament, including Class AAAA Madison County, which will host Alexander today.
Apalachee, which will visit Creekview this afternoon, is the only other Athens-area Class AAAAA team that is still playing this week. Winder-Barrow defeated Apalachee 2-0 in its season opener in August, but lost 14-4 and 2-1 in the next two contests.
"The first game of the season against Apalachee, I thought we had potential right then," Harbin said.
Winder-Barrow has yet to string together more than three consecutive wins — or more than three straight losses — this season.
"I've got competitive girls who want to win every game," McClure said. "Every time you lose one game, there's frustration. We start some freshmen and they make freshmen mistakes and they also make some great plays."
Said Harbin: "I think it helps that we've played so many games. [The seniors] have all played together since we were in seventh grade. We know each other. When we're out there, it takes some of the pressure off."
Athens-area teams in the second round of state tournaments:
Class AAAAA
Apalachee at Creekview
Winder-Barrow at Paulding County
Class AAAA
Alexander at Madison County
Class AAA
Oconee County at Cartersville
Jackson County at Ringgold
Class AA
Jefferson at Bremen
Class A — Public
Commerce at Mount Zion, Carrollton
Class A — Private
Mount Pisgah at Prince Avenue
Athens Christian at First Presbyterian

Maybe try the Avira Forum for help in case it is a false positive.
Or give the free Trend Micro a try for 1 year.Ignore the bank details they dont ask for that.
If they happen to be false positives I would not remove them in case it knackers your computer.If you have run MalwareBytes and SAS and they never found any problems False positives would be a good bet.

Imagine driving the length of a football field, blindfolded, while on a busy freeway.
What would you hit?
That's basically what drivers do every time they send a text, which takes the average driver 4.6 seconds, or more than 300 feet of road, to compose, officials said.
And it's not worth it.
That was the message from law enforcement, state officials and driving groups Thursday morning as they kicked off Distracted Driving Awareness Month and California Teen Safe Driving Week at Qualcomm Stadium.
"Driving requires one's full attention," California Highway Patrol Chief Jim Abele said. "Anything that diverts our attention from the roadway for even a few seconds can lead to tragedy."
While distracted driving includes any activity that takes a driver's attention away from the road, cellphone use was at the top of the list.
"It's our nemesis," said Kelly Browning, the executive director of Impact Teen Drivers, a teen driving education program.
Browning explained that using a phone, specifically texting, qualifies for the trifecta of distraction characteristics.
"It takes our hand off the steering wheel, it takes our eyes off the road and it takes our mind off of driving," she said.
A group of teens at the event got the message when they were challenged with navigating a driving course and texting at the same time. The course wasn't easy, complete with hairpin turns, tight corridors and zigzags of orange cones.
"Before, honestly, I would text and drive and thought it wasn't that big of a deal," said 17-year-old Brooklyn Schwen, a Granite Hills High School senior. "But doing this course, you realize you are completely distracted."
Last year, 609 people were injured and five died in distracted driving-related incidents across San Diego County, Abele said.
Carl and Eunice Ackermann were two of those victims.
The retired schoolteachers — he was 79, she was 78 — were on a morning walk in July when they were fatally struck. The driver, Earl Smith, Jr., was distracted by his cellphone GPS when the crash happened. Smith, 21, was also speeding while drunk, authorities said. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison.
"That scene was horrific," CHP Officer Jim Bettencourt said of the incident. "Being distracted, more than anything, caused that accident."
To combat cellphone use behind the wheel, police and sheriff's deputies will be conducting special patrols throughout the county this month.
"We have to convince people of the dangers before they become the next heartbreaking story," said Chris Cochran, assistant director of the state's Office of Traffic Safety. "No matter what you think, anything you can say or send on a cellphone can wait. It isn't worth the $162 ticket, it isn't worth the injury, it isn't worth the fender bender, it isn't worth the life — your life or someone else's."

First impressions: Working through former Defense Secretary Robert Gates's book Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War is a little like a visit to Arlington National Cemetery on a clear spring day. You already know he was called by a select group of elders, then by President George W. Bush, to bring America back to the path from which we had been diverted by gross misjudgment and mismanagement. Many feel, as I did, that Gates did that. Then the most interesting thing about this book and the most important, is Robert Gates. Gates was us, as America regained its balance. And Gates is us as we go forward.
For a man of power, Gates is remarkably evenhanded. You could even say kind. The first thing we heard from press reports is that his book might hurt Clinton in 2016. It will certainly hurt Vice President Biden. There is fair criticism of Biden, but this is what Gates says about former Secretary of State Clinton: "She was a terrific colleague and a highly valued one — not least for her sense of humor."
Gates and Clinton might even be two peas in a pod. And it might be possible to see a sociological shift in leadership paradigm here as we rise into the century, beyond the royal gentry of Roosevelts and Bushes of the Northeast and beyond the eastern ethnics who fill their shoes in "The West Wing."; Liebermans and Kennedys, but vying still with eastern gentry as they did the Lodges back in the Boston days. Gates is not of those crowds, and what we recognize here is, nor is Clinton.
Gates and Clinton open another phase of Americana coming now to power. Gates states briefly that he was raised among plain, good folk in Wichita, Kan., his father an Eisenhower Republican, his mother a Democrat. They gave him a Bible for his 16th birthday. He and his brother were rough-and-tumble, often noted in their visits to the emergency room. But Clinton, the Midwestern, high school Young Republican and "Goldwater Girl," rises from plain, Midwestern Americana as well, coming to position through determination and hard work.
And in Gates's book one is able — for the first time in my experience — to see Hillary Clinton at work out of the shadow of Bill ClintonBill ClintonBill Clinton distributes relief supplies in Puerto Rico In Washington and Hollywood, principle is sad matter of timing Mika Brzezinski: Bill Clinton needs to apologize or stop talking MORE, not as a Yoko-like tag-along from the '60s, but an earthy, heartland American like Gates. It is remarkable that her handlers have not presented her like that because that — and I am not particularly a fan — is what she is and how she will win. Indeed, she seems here a better collegial fit with Gates and company than with Bill and company.
This phrase defines Gates: "I did not seek this position or a return to government. I'm here because I love my country and because the President of the United States believes I can help in a difficult time."
It is pure, honorable and believable heartland patriotism. Post-9/11, we have seen in Gates's leadership America shift from dangerous mediocrities like Gen. Tommy Franks and Vice President Dick Cheney to distinguished leaders like Gen. David Petraeus and Adm. Mike Mullen. It is the place where America begins again.

Sounders FC closed the first half of the season on Saturday against Cascadia rival Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and will open the second half of the campaign on Sunday against its other fiercest foe in the Portland Timbers. If Seattle can match its first-half success, the club has a bright future ahead as it sits first in Major League Soccer with an 11-4-2 record after 17 matches.
With the mountains the Sounders have needed to scale in the first half of the season, Head Coach Sigi Schmid is understandably optimistic about what is to come for Seattle in the final months of the 2014 campaign.
"I think we're in a good place right now. If you can average more than two points per game, that's always a very good thing for your team," Schmid said. "Now we have to continue. We can't let down. We can't ease off. We just have to continue and play well with our rhythm."
Some of the first-half adversity has been self-inflicted. Seattle has earned comeback results in six matches this season, picking up 14 points after trailing at different points in those contests. It has also dealt with suspensions to Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins, Osvaldo Alonso and Gonzalo Pineda.
Dealing with those obstacles has become a hallmark of the team, though. Scoring late goals has almost become a point of pride, as Seattle has earned 20 points by scoring decisive goals after the 75th minute.
"Our resiliency, our ability to come back has been very good," Schmid said. "Our fighting spirit has been excellent. I have been pleased by that."
On the stat sheet, Seattle has proven to be among the deepest teams in MLS over the first 17 matches while also boasting some remarkable talent at the top end.
Dempsey raced to the league scoring lead with eight goals in just nine matches before leaving for World Cup duty. He has since been surpassed on the leader board, but is now joined in fourth place in goals on the league charts by Obafemi Martins. In addition to his eight goals, Martins also ranks fourth in MLS with six assists at the halfway point.
Dempsey and Martins aren't alone, though, as Schmid has a wealth of scoring options that includes Lamar Neagle notching five goals and four assists to rank in the top 20 in the league in both categories. Kenny Cooper (three goals and four assists), Chad Barrett (four goals and one assist) and Gonzalo Pineda (two goals and five assists) have also added to a dynamic offense that leads MLS in scoring.
On the defensive side, Chad Marshall has been a force at center back, performing like the player who earned back-to-back MLS Defender of the Year honors in 2008 and 2009. Goalkeeper Stefan Frei, meanwhile, ranks third in the league with five shutouts.
All the while, Alonso has been a steadying presence in the midfield, but has had help because of the emergence of Pineda as a tremendous central partner.
Now with DeAndre Yedlin and Dempsey coming back from the World Cup and others working back from injuries, Seattle is looking to get a boost as it starts the second half of the season on Sunday against the Timbers.
"We've got to get through this little bit of an injury phase that we've had, but we're getting DeAndre back now. We're getting Dempsey back," Schmid said. "Hopefully everyone can get back and we'll get back into our rhythm of playing again."
A rigorous travel schedule has also seen Sounders FC log some of the longest road trips in the league with away matches against the Montreal Impact (which was delayed one day because of snow), New England Revolution, Chicago Fire and D.C. United. With just one more Eastern Conference road match remaining against the New York Red Bulls in September, Seattle won't log as many air miles. However, with a schedule heavy on Western Conference rivals, Schmid anticipates a grueling haul in the second half.
"It helps not to have to travel quite as much, but the games are a little more intense. Those teams are battling to get into the playoffs," Schmid said. "Teams will take points off of each other. We just have to make sure that when we're playing that we try to maximize what we do on points."
In the second half of the season, Seattle will host three matches with expanded capacity at CenturyLink Field. Other second-half highlights on the regular season schedule include 11 matches on national television, the grand opening of Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara against the San Jose Earthquakes and back-to-back matches against the LA Galaxy to close out the season.

Every day, we open the newspaper, turn on the television or check the Internet, and most of what we see is depressing.
Stories about oil slicks, immigration, unemployment, debt and the Middle East have us in a headlock, sort of like the big red-haired guy who waited for us by the bike rack after school every day. (That happened many years ago in a town far, far way. I have forgiven him, as far as you know.)
To counter some of that bad mojo, here are some positive things about the law enforcement situation in our area and what they mean to you as a citizen of our city:
We have a branch of the San Joaquin County Superior Court in the city of Lodi. We have two courtrooms; one upstairs in our building and one across the driveway. If you've ever tried navigating through the justice system in one of the giant county buildings in this state, you really understand the advantage of having your own court. The process is more streamlined here, making it much better for citizens. They usually don't have to travel to Stockton for their criminal or civil cases. They can handle most legal matters, such as divorce, landlord-tenant disputes, restraining orders or small claims court, right here.
We have two judges assigned to the Lodi court. They are accessible for our detectives during the day which speeds up the search and arrest warrant process. Plus the judges get to know the cops, prosecutors, public defenders on a more personal basis. They are familiar with the defendants who appear before them time after time. If someone is a constant problem in Lodi, the judges know it and take that into consideration during sentencing.
We always have at least one deputy district attorney assigned to our court. They handle just the criminal cases in the Lodi area. Our officers work closely with them and can simply walk over to their office if the need arises. This relationship helps maintain the high quality of the cases.
Lodi has its own jail. We can house up to 20 prisoners in our modern facility. Suspects arrested for things from shoplifting to minor warrants to vandalism are shocked when they are handcuffed and placed in a patrol car. You often hear them say things like, "You're actually taking me to jail?" or, "Aren't you going to give me a ticket and let me go?" in a screechy voice, similar to a sibling who just discovered his sister ate the last strawberry Pop Tart.
Unlike larger law enforcement agencies, we rarely cite and release arrestees in the field. We book them into our jail. Some people are held in our facility until they appear in front of a judge. If it's a holiday weekend, they might end up spending four days in our custody. That prospect deters people from committing crimes in our city.
Although we have many vacancies in our organization, our patrol shifts are almost fully staffed. We are still committed to responding to your call within 30 minutes. A cop will actually show up at your door if you desire. Sometimes it might take longer than a half-hour because we have lots of calls for service or there is a major incident taking place that involves many officers. But, overall, we try to get there within 30 minutes. We also have an intern in the lobby during business hours to take your report, or you can submit a report online.
There are two full-time juvenile probation officers in our building. They focus on cases involving young offenders in the Lodi area.
One detective is a member of the area high tech task force. He deals with all computer-related crimes in Lodi as part of his duties. We also have a detective assigned full time to the area auto theft task force. He spends a great deal of his time focusing specifically on the auto thefts in our city.
Our crime analyst provides timely information to the officers about crime trends, wanted persons, and problem areas in town each week.
After a one year hiatus, National Night Out will take place in Lodi on Aug. 3.
There are still a lot of challenges for us on the horizon. But for now, let's try to focus on the good things and have a safe and fun summer.
Any comments, questions or advice for Behind the Badge can be e-mailed to Jeanie Biskup at email@example.com; mailed to Lodi Police Department, 215 W. Elm St., Lodi, CA 95240; or asked by phone at 333-6864.

Euro boost for Cariforum export services
Bridgetown, BARBADOS—The Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) in conjunction with the implementing partners Caricom Secretariat and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Dominican Republic (DICOEX) have been awarded responsibility for the implementation of a 3.2million Euro programme by the European Union towards implementation of the 10th EDF Services Sector Component.
Implementation of the services component will be a collaborative effort between the agency and implementing partners Caricom Secretariat and DICOEX.
"The services component of the EPA represents one of the concrete ways that Caribbean businesses and entrepreneurs could reap tangible, economic benefits. The services sectors in most Cariforum countries is a significant contributor to GDP, accounting for more than 50 per cent of GDP in most cases and over 60 per cent for the OECS member states" said Ambassador Michael Barfod, head of delegation to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean for the European Union during his remarks at the cheque hand- over ceremony.
In most Cariforum States, trade is increasingly driven by services exports. However, due to inadequate policies and regulatory regimes found across numerous trade agreements such as the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), Cariforum States are serverly constrained in their ability to take advantage of the opportunities that exist for long term economic development. The 10th EDF Services Sector programme will address these issues specifically.
"The creative industries have emerged as a key growth sector in the Caribbean economy through its contribution to GDP, exports, and employment, as well as its impact on destination and intellectual property branding" said executive director Pamela-Coke-Hamilton. "In light of the great importance that the services sector plays in the region, we are pleased that Caribbean Export will play a role in the implementation of the 10th EDF Services Sector Component."

73-page binder: Rangers target Prince Fielder could be better than Pujols
If the Texas Rangers or any team potentially interested in free agent Prince Fielder wonders how his power production compares to Harmon Killebrew or how his durability ranks with Pete Rose, Ichiro Suzuki and newly announced Hall of Famer Ron Santo, all that team has to do it ask.
Agent Scott Boras has a page for that.
An annual rite of the offseason is the Boras Binder (patent pending perhaps). It arrives sometime before Dec. 1 each winter like baseball's answer to an Advent calendar, complete with a goodie on every page. The binder is a sleek three-ring snapper with industrial-grade aluminum covers and a Boras Corporation logo stamped into the corner. This winter the prized binder is a 73-page treatise on Fielder. There is also a binder for Boras client and former Cardinals pitcher Edwin Jackson, and two winters ago a 60-page binder for Matt Holliday circulated baseball and lauded his value as a free agent.
Boras described the binder as a way "to educate" the market on his client, and he told ESPN.com that the goal of the research inside is to answer a question, "What does he mean to a franchise?"
It might mean a lot to the Rangers' franchise. Nolan Ryan publicly acknowledged Saturday that the AL champions have had talks with Fielder.
The meeting with Fielder, the 27-year-old first baseman, came at the same time Texas is in the closing stages of their 30-day negotiating window with Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish.
Fielder remains the best talent still available this winter almost three weeks after his rival for free-agent affection, Albert Pujols, signed a record deal with the Angels -- the Rangers' biggest rival. This is not unusual for Boras' biggest client. Holliday didn't complete a deal with the Cardinals until the first week of January in 2010. Boras plays the market deliberately, often dealing directly with ownership and fastening a tight lid on talks. The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles are two teams believed to be courting Fielder, with others like the Chicago Cubs playing coy or playing off their interest.
'A rarity'
Fielder, 27, has the luxury of being choosy, especially as Boras bills him as a rarity.
"He's not even at his peak yet," Boras told a clutch of reporters in a lobby of Dallas' Hilton Anatole on the final full day of the winter meetings in December. "He has Albert Pujols-type numbers and those aren't even his premium years. Albert Pujols is the best hitter we've seen since (Barry Bonds). You're definitely going to have something that is a rarity in the game because he's so young and you can project five years ahead. Normally when someone (signs) a free agent, you're not getting that many prime years."
Enter the Binder.
Boras has had his staff produce binders for clients for the past decade, including one for Alex Rodriguez before he signed a record 10-year, $252-million deal with the Texas Rangers. He is not alone in such glitzy presentations. In 2010, the agents for Carl Crawford sent interested teams an iPad loaded with video and multimedia information on the Gold Glove Award-winning outfielder. One wonders if a general manage feigned interest to score an iPad. Other agents offer packets that stress their client's off-field activities because stats are readily available online or in a pack of baseball cards.
The 73-page booklet on Fielder has been given to interested general managers and select members of the media in an attempt to, as Boras explained, educate. The binder is a trove of statistical euphoria, color photos, and historical comparisons. As the market for Fielder meanders toward the new year it offers a peek at how Boras packages his client, but also on the market at large and what agents _ in this case a super agent _ feel teams value.
The binder contains glorious statistical factoids:
_ Only three Hall of Fame first basemen had as many as 200 home runs by the age of 27: Jimmie Foxx, Orlando Cepeda and Killebrew. Fielder has 230.
_ Fielder is the seventh player to hit 32 home runs or more in five seasons by the age of 27. The others: Miguel Cabrera, Eddie Mathews, Pujols, Rodriguez, Foxx and Vlad Guerrero.
_ Pujols and Fielder are the only players with at least 32 home runs in each of the past five seasons.
_ Fielder hit a home run that reached a velocity of 119.2 mph, the highest of any homer this past season, according to ESPN Stats.
_ He is the only player to average .280 with more than 40 homers and at least 100 RBIs from 2007 to 2011. (Not mentioned: Pujols averaged .324, 39 homers and 114 RBIs in that same period.)
"You see who has as many home runs by the age of 27 at first base and you see Jimmie Foxx and Lou Gehrig and the list is only four guys," Boras explained this month. "You have to double-check. Then you start looking at what accomplishments this man has had at such a young age. You look at the game and the younger core that's coming and you'd say there's no one (like Fielder). You're going to have to average 37 home runs in this period of time. Who's going to do that?"
In just those few pages mentioned above, it's clear how Boras has positioned Fielder not just against history but against this market. Most of the stats described in the book are mentioned alongside the player's age, positioning Fielder's 27 against Holliday's 31, Cabrera's 28 or Pujols' 31. Pujols, the other premium hitter available this winter, is mentioned in passing several times. But it's clear the Binder shows what Boras tells: that Fielder, 5 years younger than Pujols, is built for a long-term contract because he's coming into his prime.
'Built Fielder Tough'
Those are some of the statistical superlatives, and they're meant to wow in addition to illustrate. The Binder also reveals some of the selling points that teams value, that teams bank on. In Holliday's binder, one of the nine sections was titled, "Durability and Athleticism in the Outfield." In Fielder's, one of the nine sections is simple identified as "Built Fielder Tough." Both address the player's reliability and health through the course of their career and season.
Holliday, his binder says, was one of four outfielders to log 1,200 defensive innings from 2006 to 2009. This past season, Fielder joined Cal Ripken Jr. and Santo as the only players with more than 950 games played from age 22 to 27. Fielder is one 10 players with 959 games during any six-year span, alongside Santo, Ripken, Ichiro, Dale Murphy and Rose. Holliday's binder included an action photo of him in the weight room alongside a quote from teammate Troy Tulowitzki about Holliday knowing "what to do to get out of a (hitting) funk."
Simply put, durability pays.
Teams need to know about it to do the same.
Boras made the point this month that Holliday was drawn to the Cardinals and he encouraged Kyle Lohse to stick with the Cardinals because of the presence of Pujols. Fielder is a franchise player with a similar gravitational pull, Boras said.
A long-term contract for a star player helps "attract players to a franchise," Boras said.
To that end, Fielder's binder describes the protection he provided National League MVP Ryan Braun. Holliday's binder delves deeper into the potential business boost, illustrating how the Cardinals' attendance jumped 2,000 fans per game after the Cardinals added him for the playoff push in 2009. That information is juxtaposed with promotional work, hardware like Silver Sluggers, and charitable endeavors like the floor plan for the "YMCA Fielder Dugout."
Behind the numbers
Statistics are only the gateway information for teams who have such things as slugging percentage, home run rate, and ballpark factors at their fingertips. Most teams have analytic departments whose job it is to provide info on free-agent targets. The Binder, despite its industrial packaging, offers a glimpse of the person behind the numbers and thus strikes at the real qualities team sign: durability, future production and, in the case of a franchise player, intangibles.
Oh, and age.
Fielder's age is the spine of his Binder, and it also gives him an unusual spot in the market. As Boras said at the Winter Meetings, the interest in his client varies from teams on the verge of competing to teams expecting to compete three years from now. The offers for Fielder reflect those differing statuses, Boras said. His age creates an interesting detour that this market could take for Fielder: the shorter, higher-priced deal. Fielder could take a five-year deal with a higher average value than Pujols' $25.4 million, still set a record and reach free agency again at 32, Pujols' age next season.
That way the once-in-a-decade player that Boras describes would be available to the highest bidder twice in the decade.
"When you start to analyze, you realize we have a decade player," Boras said. "He's a rare kind."
Proof is in the Binder.

This is "synchronized breaking", being hailed by corporate executives across the country as "the best thing since sliced bread", developed in Beverly, MA at a tech company called
An interesting side-effect of synchronized breaking that this reporter noted is that, when asking one member of the "break crew" a question, at least 3 or 4 would answer identically at the same time, and not always the person who was asked will answer. Scientists have hypothesized that the activity of synchronized breaking forms a sort of "hive mind", where each individual acts as part of a whole.
"Taking our breaks at the same time, and doing the same thing, is good," droned 5 of the break crew. "It's good for production."
When asked exactly how production was impacted, the crew shrugged and intoned, "We're not big into numbers and data, and we leave that to the bosses. It just makes us feel good. It's almost as good a feeling as having God Himself bouncing in our laps, celebrating the completion of our assigned goals. We're part of the whole, busy and useful."
Some opposing viewpoints do exist. One technician spoke out, but refused to give his name because he was not authorized to speak:
"It's a disgusting waste of company time and money," our source revealed. "You can't tell me that they don't have any time-sensitive processes. There are just some things you can't stop in the middle of, so rather than work through till the job is done, they don't even bother starting it, if it's close to break time. They'll look busy, straighten up their desks, and stare at the wall, whatever, until it's time for break, then they go into their little "pod people" routine. It creeps me out. To top it all off, because those jobs aren't getting started on time, they stay late to get them done and get paid overtime for it. Disgusting."When asked whether any of these allegations were accurate, management personnel just smiled and replied, "We alllll bundle!"

text: Hey guys! I've been a lurker on this site for over a year soaking up information. I have LOVED BBQ all my life, and finally got my first smoker at the end of last summer. Its a Camp Chef Smoke Vault 24. I got the hang of using it last year and it has produced some awesome Q so far. I haven't pulled it out yet this year...mostly because the weather in Cleveland has SUCKED lately. I've been doing a few modifications to the vault and should be ready to fire it up in the next week or so. Mods include adding a rubber grommet for probes and a needle valve setup. Can't wait to get some food off of this sucker this year. Last year I tried to cook as much as I could. I did several successful whole chickens, a full packer brisket, 2 pulled porks and a bunch of racks of St. Louis cut ribs. Thanks to this site and amazingribs, I look almost like a seasoned pro pitmaster to my friends / family. Looking forward to LOTS of smoking this year!

I'm warning you now, any further reading will contain spoilers for talents and skills for warriors in Wrath of the Lich King. You cannot say you were not warned, if not by the title of the post, then by me now.
Overall, the changes are deceptive. They look small at first, until you really stop and think about them. The biggest changes are also a little baffling, but not necessarily bad. You can't really expect sweeping changes two builds in a row, so it's really not terribly surprising that prot didn't get the big review we've been waiting for to date. On the whole, the changes aren't anything to get worked up over, but they do seem to be heading towards a desire to balance threat generation, and so I applaud them even if I don't think they were entirely successful.
I've dithered enough: on to the changes, concealed from view behind the jump.
I'm warning you now, any further reading will contain spoilers for talents and skills for warriors in Wrath of the Lich King. You cannot say you were not warned, if not by the title of the post, then by me now.
First up are skills: we get a new skill at level 80, Weapon Throw, which allows you to throw your weapon for high threat and is intended to do damage based on attack power. Posts on the forums indicate it may be bugged, but if it gets straightened out we're looking at the warrior version of the paladin shield pull. Since it's attack power based, clearly they're looking to avoid warriors switching to their highest damage weapon for the throw, although I suppose you could switch to the highest attack power option. Both Execute and Revenge had their base damage reduced and attack power scaling added, Shield Wall had its based damage reduction reduced to 50%, and Disarm had its rage cost reduced from 20 to 15 rage. Battle Shout is now raid wide (but since it doesn't stack with Blessing of Might, that's a big so what, who cares sort of change) and Shield Block had its duration increased to ten seconds.
There are more changes in the talents: Trauma and Sudden Death have switched positions in the arms tree, while Strength of Arms has moved down a tier. Rampage's range has now been extended to all party or raid members within 45 yards, and it's now clearly marked as an enrage, allowing you to use it to make an Enraged Assault attack, which is good because the buff is totally wasted now if you have a feral druid around. Precision moves from Tier 7 down to Tier 5 in the Fury tree, making it easier for other specs to pick up (although not much easier).
Prot sees the most change. First off, Shockwave does basically twice as much damage, up to 50% of your attack power. Sword and Board has been tweaked upwards, using a 3/6/9/12/15% progression instead of the previous 2 to 10% progression. Safeguard moves to Tier 8 and changes to a 2 point talent with 30/60% reduction to damage on the target, and 50/100% chance to remove all movement impairing effects when it is used. Critical Block gains up to 15% to critical chance for Shield Slams in addition to its previous effect. Improved Defensive Stance is now a 2 point talent reducing all spell damage by 3/6% and gives you a chance to become enraged on a successful Block, Dodge or Parry (50/100% chance) increasing your melee damage by 5/10% for 12 seconds. This of course means you'll be able to use Enraged Assault as well.
Vigilance now applies taunt refresh to the next three attacks and lasts 30 minutes. Improved Shield Wall now increases the damage reduction by up to 10% as well as lowering the cooldown by 60 seconds at the 2 point mark, restoring it to the previous build's levels. Puncture now just has two ranks, meaning that you can't get quite as much rage saved on Devastates, and Improved Disarm is now a 2 point talent with up to 20 seconds savings on the cooldown, and also causes the target to take 5/10% more damage while disarmed. The talent still mentions shield break, but no sign of that old talent remains in the tree. The final two changes are Improved Revenge (now a 2 point talent increasing damage by 10/20% and giving 25/50% to stun the target for 3 seconds) and Toughness, which adds a reduction on the duration of all movement slowing effects by 20/20/30/40/50%, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if the first two points are intended to provide the same level of movement slow relief.
There are still no warrior glyphs to report upon at this point. The changes we have seem to be aimed at buffing prot, but in odd ways I'm not entirely sold on: the change to Toughness practically guarantees that PvP warriors will be that far into the protection tree.Still, there should be a general DPS/'threat increase for prot... Imp Defensive Stance looks absolutely lovely now. As soon as this patch downloads I'll go on and see what I can find out.

Role: Mickey Cochrane
Project: 'Gandhi at the Bat'
It was no wonder Lee Perkins — racecar driver, baseball player, and actor — got cast in Gandhi at the Bat, a digital newsreel-style film set in 1933, directed by Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm. Perkins stars as Mickey Cochrane, catcher for the Philadelphia A's. Gandhi at the Bat is based on a fictional story published in 1983 in The New Yorker about Mahatma Gandhi visiting the United States and how he ends up pinch-hitting for the New York Yankees in a game against the A's. Perkins was intrigued by the project right away.
"I did have a baseball background and had always wanted to do a baseball movie," he says. "To find out it was a period movie, I thought, Oh, this is going to be cool!" During the audition process, Perkins' experiences made him stand out immediately.
"He knew about period baseball and demonstrated the differences between how the catchers squatted at the time versus now," explains Argy. "He pointed out that back then everybody chewed tobacco and not all actors are going to want to chew tobacco but you can get the same effect if you give everybody raisins." The audition consisted of the actors fielding questions from an off-camera interviewer while in character.
"He had this physicality, this resistance to the camera and the interviewer," Argy says. "It was clear that he was going to have the authority that this catcher needed, because his character is the one that really is transformed by the encounter with Gandhi."
Perkins attended California State University, Sacramento, where he studied drama and communications. He and a group of friends would put on "one-act plays and original things that we would write," he recalls. "It was just something to do, just to get that artistic craziness out of our system. Whatever struck us, we did." They became most well known for their Kiss impersonation concerts, complete with full sound and explosions.
Perkins got a job as a driver on the film Freejack, starring Emilio Estevez. When the filmmakers discovered that Perkins had an acting background, they gave him acting work on the film as well.
"I never thought of acting as a profession until I saw this huge production," says Perkins of Freejack. "I learned a lot of lessons from that experience." After moving to Los Angeles, Perkins found himself working consistently, starring in a number of horror films, most notably KatieBird *certifiable crazy person, winner of an audience award at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival. When Gandhi at the Bat wrapped, Argy and Boehm cast him in their next feature, The Red Machine.

Irish Champion Eagle Mountain Retired
Eagle Mountain, an Irish champion and runner-up in the 2008 Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), has been retired from racing after injuring a tendon while in training.
Eagle Mountain, an Irish champion and runner-up in the 2008 Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT), has been retired from racing after injuring a tendon while in training.
Eagle Mountain emerged a comfortable winner of the Dec. 14 Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Cup (HK-I) at Sha Tin, a race that will also be remembered for tales of what might have been.
A spectacularly good gallop on the dirt Dec. 12 made it clear that Doctor Dino will not relinquish his Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Vase (HK-I) crown on Dec. 14 without an almighty tussle.
Eagle Mountain, a leading challenger for the HK$20m Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Cup (HK-I) on Dec. 14, impressed with a spectacular gallop on the grass at Sha Tin Dec. 9.
Breeders Cup Mile (gr. IT) runner-up Kip Deville will head a record American raiding party for this year's Cathay Pacific International races in Hong Kong December 14.
Conduit won the Emirates Airlines Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I) in stakes record time. The Irish-bred son of Dalakhani ran the 1 1/2-mile race in 2:23.42. Eagle Mountain was second, and long-shot Dancing Forever was third.
Mike de Kock, the internationally renowned trainer of Eagle Mountain, breaks new ground for the Breeders' Cup World Championships when he becomes the first South African to compete in the event. Eagle Mountain runs in the $3 million Emirates Airline Turf (gr. IT) at Santa Anita Oct. 25.
As it often does, the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Fr-I) has produced the morning-line favorite for the the $3-million Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) as Aidan O'Brien's Irish raider Soldier of Fortune leads a packed field of 11 at Santa Anita Oct. 25.
Although they have dominated the $3-million Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) at other venues, top European imports have not performed especially well when the Breeders' Cup has been held at Santa Anita, where they must contend with tighter turns, hard turf, and warm temperatures.
French raider Literato took the lead within the final furlong and tenaciously held off the determined rally of Eagle Mountain to claim a head victory in the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes (Eng-I) at Newmarket Oct. 20.
Vodafone Derby (Eng-I) runner-up Eagle Mountain scored his first victory of the season when he captured the UAE Racing and Equestrian Federation Royal Whip Stakes (Ire-II) at The Curragh on August 12.
Zambezi Sun rolled to an impressive five-length victory in the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris (Fr-I), a race that was marred by the spill of Eagle Mountain and jockey Kieren Fallon.
Another group I race, another sweep for trainer Aidan O'Brien as Soldier of Fortune led fellow Ballydoyle trainees Alexander of Hales and Eagle Mountain home in a rain-soaked Budweiser Irish Derby (Ire-I) Sunday at the Curragh.
Heavy favorite Authorized romped to an impressive five-length victory in the Vodafone Derby (Eng-I) at Epsom Downs on Saturday, providing champion jockey Frankie Dettori with a long sought-after win in the English classic.
The 2007 Vodafone Derby (Eng-I) has 165 horses standing their ground after the first forfeit stage. European champion juvenile Teofilo heads the list of possible runners for the classic race at Epsom Downs June 2.
Hurricane Run made a superb seasonal debut when galloping home an easy winner of the Tattersalls Gold Cup (Ire-I) at The Curragh on Sunday.

Church under Attack in Connecticut, again... (this story broke two weeks ago, when I was urgently taken with things that were not blogging)
The Office of State Ethics in Connecticut is investigating the Diocese of Bridgeport for irregular lobbying activity in connection with its organization of resistance to Ct. Bill #1098.
The Diocese of Bridgeport has filed suit against the OSE officials in Federal Court.
Basically, the OSE has decided (not) to interpret the Ct. lobbying law, but simply to apply it to the Church. The law defines lobbying (sec. 1-94)) as expenditure in excess of $2000 for the purposes of influencing legislation. It requires that lobbyists register with the appropriate state office, which in turn involves consent to state oversight of the registered organizations books and activities.
Of course, the Church spent more that $2000 to organize a massive public rally at the capitol building with less than a week's notice. The point is that the Church spent the money with a view to exercising citizens' constitutionally protected free speech and assmebly rights.
Said simply, the lobbying law requires registry of those parties, which spend in excess of $2000 on lobbying. If organizing a rally is lobbying, then words have no meaning, and Thrasymachos is right.
Every lawyer with whom I have spoken about the matter assures me that the OSE simply has no case to make, but to me this is the most worrisome thing about the whole unpleasant business; it is harassment, pure and simple.
In other words, state power is being used to harass persons and organizations with whom those who wield it have political disagreements.
Whatever one's stance toward / relationship with the Church, and however one feels about the issues raised in, e.g., 1138 and 899, such behavior is unacceptable.
It is use of state power that is either stupid, or corrupt.

ThermalHEART used in the award-winning Narrabundah project
This architecturally inspired residential home is located in a small suburb of the ACT called Narrabundah. The surrounding leafy mature trees and vast bushland are the backdrop for this amazing project.
Adam Dettrick Architects were chosen to design this home. The brief was to create an open plan living space for the home, whilst maintaining privacy in the bedroom and bathrooms. The clients required a home that accommodated for entertaining as well as being able to be easily closed in for privatisation.
Adam Dettrick worked closely with highly experienced local window and door manufacturer Monaro Windows, to ensure a perfect window and door solution for this home. ThermalHEART™ Series 731 sliding doors were used to the back of the property to open up the indoor living spaces to the backyard. The ThermalHEART™ thermally broken aluminium systems allowed for large openings to be created, whilst not taking away from the energy efficiency of this home located in an extreme climate.
ThermalHEART™ Series 726 thermally broken aluminium awning windows were used on top of the ThermalHEART™ thermally broken Series 731 sliding doors to ensure cross ventilation throughout the home.
This project has gone on to win the 2014 ACT Architecture Awards for Residential Architecture – Houses (New).

CHICAGO — If the recently announced dramatic decline in obesity among 2- to 5-year-olds holds steady, then in about 18 years it will be fair to say a dent has been made in the obesity epidemic.
It is absolutely fantastic that toddlers — and in no small measure, their parents — have started making healthier dietary choices. If these youngsters can keep their weight under control throughout adolescence and into adulthood — and even pass on good dietary habits to their own kids — we'll have quite a lot to celebrate.
But until then, the rest of us are in dire straits.
The children who have hopefully dodged the bullet of lifelong obesity make up a very small fraction of our population. The verdict on their elders is just as frightening as it has been.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, more than one-third of adults and 17 percent of youths in the United States are obese. Overall, there have been no significant changes in obesity prevalence in children or adults between 2003-04 and 2011-12. Even worse, there have been increases in some subgroups, especially among women 60 and older.
And those are just the aggregate numbers. It is well-known that obesity rates are even higher among blacks and Hispanics — something of a health time bomb as these two groups come to represent larger swaths of the population.
Early last week, the National Institutes of Health released findings from the first phase of their ongoing Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, the largest health study of Hispanics in the United States to date. The numbers were bleak.
Based on data collected between 2008 and 2011 from 16,415 Hispanic adults living in Chicago, San Diego, Miami and the Bronx, New York, the study found that:
According to Martha Daviglus, the principal investigator for the Chicago survey, awareness of obesity, the chronic illnesses that flow from it and the healthy habits necessary to prevent obesity need to stay in the spotlight.
"Now that we have seen that so many programs aimed at young children have had an impact, we need to do the same thing for groups of adults," Daviglus told me. "It used to be that the medical community would say you need to do prevention in middle age and then in young adulthood, and now we're talking about childhood.
"What we really need is to start obesity prevention at preconception, not even during pregnancy, but well before, when the lifestyle habits of nutrition and exercise can impact both parents and babies," she said.
In other words, everyone of every age should have the basic understanding necessary to maintain basic nutrition and a healthy weight — a goal that, in a country with free K-12 education and increasingly accessible health care, sounds seductively simple.
But even medical professionals get little education in nutrition throughout their training, while many parents not only have poor skills at estimating their own calorie needs but also have a difficult time estimating their children's calorie intake and weight.
Still, baby steps can grow into great strides, and even a decrease limited to such a small slice of the population is worth celebrating.
Although public awareness programs, medical community calls to action and campaigns for healthier food choices in stores and restaurants have not targeted high-risk adults in the same way they have children, that will come as obesity reaches its zenith. At some point, the obesity awareness in adults combined with better health in youngsters could make this a healthier nation.

Coming down from Boston this weekend for three days and had a few questions for anyone willing to answer. I used the search-engine on some of these, but I was hoping for a few more responses. My girlfriend and I are big walkers and willing to take the train, but in general, i'm hioping to stay as close to these places as possible. Thanks in advance for taking a look.
Any good bagel places near Grand Central? (we're staying at the Hyatt)
Lunch near the Frick - looking for something low-key, possibly pub-food or a sandwhich place.
Dinner Thursday night pre or post show in Theatre District - I hear this is a horrible are for good food, but is there something decent? someone told me Da Rosina was an okay option in that area. any ideas?
a few bar and cocktail place ideas, mid-town to downtown. I am a big fan of craft beer and classic cocktails, but I'm hoping to avoid dressy, crowded or trendy places. an intersting bar with character (even a dive), or a low key cocktail spot would be perfect.

Vajazzle Butterfly Body Tattoo
I love this
Reviewed: 28 May 2013 by PinkLipstick92, a Straight Going Steady Female
This was the first vajazzle I bought. I had wanted to try one but wasn't really sure about it. Saw this design on LH and I had to have it.
It's a really cute girlie design, very easy to put on (just think of the days of transfer tattoos!) and I was thrilled with the end result.
Didn't wear it for any reason other than I wanted a confidence boost and it certainly gave me one! OH seemed to like it too :)
Excellent staying power! I wanted to see how long the glue would really last, just going about my day to day business not changing my routine at all, the tansfer lasted well over a week, then I took it off. I really like how they can be reused by using eyelash glue, so I have kept it for another time.
The only downside would be that because the design is joined by a single bit of glue/adhesive it can ruin the effect as it is kind of visible.
But overall a fantastic product, that I would recommend to anyone who wanted a little boost. :)
- Pros
- Very pretty design, easy to use, sexy.
- Cons
- The glue can ruin the effect.
- Bottom line
- Really good, definitely use again.

All that glitter isn't gold
Reviewed: 13 October 2011 by ShaftMaster, a Straight Single Male
Obviously the reasons for getting a vajazzle are varying, but for me and my girlfriend it was for a bit of fun, which it certainly was.
Putting it on your partner is a novel and different way of getting intimate down there, although there are a few things you'll have to remember. Firstly, the closer you get, the more the jazzle is gonna get in the way of underwear, and vice versa.
Secondly, the jewels are all connected by a single piece of glue, which certainly makes it easier to make sure it all goes on and keeps it's shape, but isn't completely invisible and can slightly spoil the effect when viewed up close. If you want to take them off and stick them on individually, or even in another pattern, there is always that option though.
These are plastic jewels, so while whoever's wearing them gets the padding of the stickiness, whoever they're up against can have them rubbing against them. Not painful or overly irritating in anyway, but I imagine the lower down the worse it could be. Just one more thing to remember when deciding where it should go.
Overall this a great item, a great way to add something different to the bedroom. It's not too expensive, and keeping the packaging is a good idea to keep it safe as it can be reapplied and reused at another time.
- Pros
- Easy to use, sexy.
- Cons
- Nothing that spoils it.
- Bottom line
- Good bit of fun.

Story by Fiona Rigby
On Thursday 14 January over 100 top Jamie at Home consultants and managers, plus their guests, were invited to join Jamie Oliver for an exclusive Gala Dinner at the beautiful Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane. The lovely people who host Jamie at Home parties are also incredibly important to the business, and so we were delighted to invite the top host in each of our regions to join us too. Consultants are self-employed people who sell the Jamie at Home products including Jme and Scent and Savour. Managers run a team of consultants, and the hosts are simply individuals who open their homes to the consultants to run a party.
The evening began with a cocktail reception and the opportunity for each attendee to get their photo taken with Jamie, after which everyone headed into the main ballroom. Awards were presented to our very top achievers, and then dinner was served.
The delicious starter of cured salmon with capers and salad of welsh herbs was followed by rack and rump duo of lamb with an apricot and lemon herb crust, rosemary potato cake, seasonal vegetables and minted jus.
Throughout dinner we were entertained by the fabulous Jonny Walker (www.jonnywalker.co.uk), a fantastic musician who was spotted busking on the streets of Norwich by Jamie at Home MD Kim Claxton. At one point Jonny was joined on stage by Jamie, who played an improvised drum which was a wine cooler and a pair of spoons! And then the dancing really began, with the party continuing late into the evening. Jamie at Home consultants enjoyed celebrating their successes and meeting Jamie as well.

Q. My wife is a believer in herbal remedies. Can we use our flex plan to cover these expenses? A.J.P., Parker, Colo.
A. Maybe. Generally, the cost of herbs for your general health or a self-diagnosed illness doesn't qualify for medical expense deductions. Therefore, the costs can't be covered under a flexible health care arrangement. However, in a new private ruling, the IRS has established that the cost of an herb is deductible as a medical expense if certain requirements are met. (IRS Information Letter 2010-0080, 6/25/2010)
Tip: To qualify for this tax break, you must prove you have a specific medical condition; that you're purchasing the herb to treat or alleviate this condition; and that you would not have otherwise purchased the herb.

You turned one more year of life. My best wishes to you today, tomorrow and forever.
And why not celebrate your birthday every day. Every 24 hours and call it "Happy birthday day."
Celebrate each day as a new opportunity in your life.
If things did not go well yesterday as you thought. Well today you have a new opportunity to succeed and achieve your goal, your resolution, your purpose, and your ideal. Celebrate another day to continue with the set goal. I hope you have a goal with a plan to follow and most importantly what you want out of life. What is the purpose in your life? That one special gift or talent you have to offer to others.
Celebrate your "birthday day" because you woke up once again today safe and sound. You can walk, you can breathe, you can communicate with others. Maybe tomorrow will not have time to feel awake. Today you won again at death. It seems contradictory, but what you celebrate today is that you won once again to death, because this can come at any time. Celebrate one more day of life.
Enjoy life every day. Nothing you took when you leave, when the day of your final. Lives happy right now. Feel the blood running through your veins. Open your arms to life, let your thoughts fly free, do not leave anything to drift. Lives life intensely, lives happily with what you have. Let there be no regrets about what You always wanted to do and you did not (of course without harming anyone) for fear of rejection.

I have for sale a single front Easton Haven Carbon wheel. These are the wheels that come with the two year no questions asked guarantee and are ridiculously light and strong. This was part of a pair but I changed my frame recently and went 12mm through axle which the rear wasn't compatible with so I've gone over to a handbuilt wheels (still carbon) with hubs that can be adapted. I've sold on the rear but the front is still available.
The spokes are all bullet tight and the wheel runs dead true. The bearings (ceramic) are silky smooth and free from play. Functionally the wheel is perfect. The rim is true UST and comes with a tubeless valve.
The cosmetic condition is OK; there are a lot of scratches and battle scars from rocks but these are all purely superficial and make no difference to the integrity of the wheel. I've taken pictures of the worst marks.
The hub is for 20mm forks and isn't compatible with 15mm axles as far as I know. I could be wrong though.
Retail on a single front is around £750. I'm asking £300 posted. I can honour the gauarantee such as is left to run, I think about five months. If you have any problems in that time I can help you liaise with Head for the Hills where I got the wheel from in order to get warranty support.
If you're not happy with the cosmetic condition on delivery, you can simply send the wheel back (at your expense) and I will refund the full amount paid plus the postage cost for shipping to you.
