Well I am scheduled for robotic RP on this Thursday the 10th. I am comfortable with my decision as I have visited with 6 doctors and 3 different pathologists. All say same thing without hesitating, "RP son, you are too young to do radiation". Well I ran 5 miles in 35 minutes yesterday, shoot a nice deer this weekend with my bow and my friends took my wife and I out for a 5 star dinner with some of the best wines available on Saturday night. It was a going away party for my prostate. Even had a cake shaped like a prosate. Yes sick but we laughed hard and that is always the best medicine. My wife gave it a better going away present that night also:). If all is contained then I move on and never look back. If it is not, just call in for some air support and fry it. Either way I will always do my best to help others stay informed about this disease and help fight it until there is a cure or vaccine. In many ways it has helped shape my character and made me a stronger and better person. It also brought my wife and I closer (not that there was a problem) but she was my rock before as well. The reason I am writing this is I hope all of us can learn from anything we face in life and walk away a stronger better person from any experience. Whatever does not kill you makes you stronger. It is up to each person to find something in any experience to take with them and make something good happen. Hope whoever reads this is doing great and can use this to help them through their journey. Thank you.

Best wishes for a safe and successful surgery and speedy recovery without ill effects. Looking forward to hearing from you as a "survivor."

I've celebrated each of those milestones following my Davinci surgery in 2009.

You did your homework; you found a very good surgeon......it will go well.....good luck

Congrats on making a tx decision. You've got a great attitude and perspective! Sending best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

I don't agree w/your choice but it is YOUR choice.
The only thing I'd like to say is that I think the notion that you're "too young" for radiation is a canard. There's actually the case to be made that you're "too young" for surgery -- but that's neither here nor there.
I wish you well and hope you are able to recover w/o any significant problems and w/o the need for further radiation treatment which is all that you might have needed anyway.
Good luck and best wishes!!!
Nov 07, 2011 - 8:24 pm
Just wanted to let you know there are those of us here that agree 100% on your decision. Do not doubt it one bit if that is what is in your heart as your best option. I have felt from your first post that we had a lot in common with both of us enjoying hunting and fishing, and we apparently think a lot alike also.My wife and I had a Bass Pro dinner for my send off. I am 13 weeks post op now.(had open surgery) PSA is less than 0.03, dry from day 1, and sex is good.( I do take 25mg viagra to help but about 75% normal without anything). This disease has also been a blessing to me as I had a terrible diet. Since surgery on Aug. 9th I have lost from 198 lbs to 153 with a goal of 145. Have cut red meats,sodium,dairy products and sugars by 80%. This has gotten BP, cholestrol, blood sugar,and triglycerides all to normal limits. I have been off all meds. Just thought I would mention that because if there is any change in diet you need to do now is a good time to change that. I feel soooo much better than I have in many years. I wish you the best and please keep us posted. I look forward to hearing good news.I havent got to go yet, though its still a little warm in Louisiana but checked camera today and have 8 pt, spike and does eating corn.)I'll take your place till you can go again!!!) Johnny

You have an interesting writing style. I like the way you express your philosophy and your feelings about the journey you will take on the 10th. It will work out well for you and your wife. That is my wish and expectation.

Hello Hunter:
I heard the same "you are too young for radiation" from virtually every doctor who did not perform radio therapy. I think they learn this at a seminar or something. I challanged each doctor/surgeon that said this. The standard response was the expectation of secondary cancers caused by radiotherapy. After doing plenty of study on the matter, I found this to be such a low percentage possibility that it is hard to distinguish cancers that may have actually been caused by treatment years prior. In short, this is not a credible response. Some also mentioned side effects from radio therapy. Given the statistical morbidity superiority of radiotherpy over surgery, this was laughable.
There are many stories here about great results from surgery (assuming a world class surgeon), and I wish you the very best. I really appreciate you sharing this, as a big part of the value of this site is the filtering of various treatment option sales & marketing BS.
Thank you again for sharing.
God bless you, and best wishes for a great result.

Hi there, I have a template that doesn't appear to be showing as expected on mobile. From what I can tell the media query is correct for the CSS however the email shows up thinner than other templates that were created and used before. If anyone is happy to take a quick look at the code I would really appreciate it.
The link to view the email is: http://stryde.cmail1.com/t/ViewEmail/j/93CB068F18A4B496
However if you would like me to paste the code in let me know.
Thanks in advance!!
it look great on me, how do you expect it appeared?
The previous templates use to appear full width to match the mobile screen but now the size of it isn't looking as responsive. Would you or anyone know of what could be causing this?

However, WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo offers guests the chance to get as close to koalas as possible, and because we have very strict rules about how often our individual animals are on display, guests can be absolutely certain that the koalas are not stressed by these up-close encounters. On the contrary - sometimes they don't even bat an eyelid!

Whitney Houston - It's Not Right (Crown Duels Tribute)
Released a few months ago 'its not right' still stays as fresh as the first time I played it, there is an upbeat pulse like a heartbeat behind the soft yet powerful Whitney Houston vocals. It has a bittersweet vibe to it, as the beat is very positive and warm, yet there is a message in the vocals of 'moving on' and 'rather be alone'. What makes Crown Duels unique is that they produce such diverse music, their latest release 'we love this music' is very different to 'It's not right', a deep base and house vibe and very fitting to the club scene, there is something special about Crown Duels.

The country is growing rapidly, the share of electric cars among new cars purchased.
Ukraine took the high fifth place in the world ranking in terms of development of electric vehicles, ahead of such countries as USA, Netherlands and Japan. Faster electric transport develops only in Iceland, Sweden, Norway and China, reported the largest independent magazine about electric vehicles InsideEVs.com.
Each country in the ranking received a certain number of points based on several criteria. Among them are political support of the development of electric vehicles, dynamics of growth in their market share, the pace of infrastructure development and so on.
The maximum you can get 100 points, but only two countries were able to cross the mark of 50 points – Norway and China. Ukraine scored 39 points.
The publication notes that Ukraine is rapidly increasing the share of electric cars among new cars purchased. In 2016, it has increased five times and amounted to 4%, while the number sold during the year electric vehicles exceeded 2,500. The majority of electric vehicles used. They came to Ukraine after more than two years of use in Europe. Half of them – the Nissan Leaf.
"The motivation of this "Ukrainian electric miracle" is quite clear: in the confrontation with the oil power of Russia in this form embodied a desire to outdo the Big Oil (which I wholeheartedly share)," writes the newspaper, stressing that "Ukraine is a global example for the poor non-industrial countries."
As reported Корреспондент.netin 2016 in Ukraine dramatically increased sales of electric vehicles. Experts say that the main reason for the increase in demand – cancellation of import excise, which allowed to reduce the price of electric vehicles in Ukraine.

Modelling Representative Life Cycle Inventories for Swiss Arable Crops (9 pp)
- 395 Downloads
- Citations
Goal, Scope and Background
Life cycle inventories (LCIs) of agricultural products, infrastructure, inputs and processes are required to optimise food supply chains. In the past, the use of LCA was hindered by the limited availability of databases with LCIs for such agricultural inputs, processes and products in combination with LCIs of other major economic sectors. The ecoinvent database covers this need for the Swiss, and to an extent, the European context. A suitable approach had to be outlined for defining representative datasets for products from arable crops, since there was no comprehensive survey of agricultural production.
No single data source was available for defining representative datasets for arable crops. It was therefore decided to define model crops on the basis of a variety of sources in collaboration with experts on the crops in question. The datasets were validated by experts and by comparison with literature. Field emissions were calculated using a set of models taking into account situation-specific parameters. Data defined by this procedure are more generally usable, but their definition is also more laborious.
Results and Discussion
Selected results (inventories and impact assessment) are presented for infrastructure (buildings, machinery), work processes, fertilisers, pesticides, seed and arable crop products. Infrastructure has a higher share of environmental impacts than in typical industrial processes, often due to low utilisation rates. Energy use is dominated by mechanisation, the use of mineral fertilisers (particularly nitrogen) and grain drying. Eutrophication is caused mainly by nitrogen compounds. In general, field emissions are of decisive importance for many environmental impacts.
Conclusion and Outlook
The ecoinvent database provides representative agricultural data for the Swiss, and to an extent, the European context. It also provides the meta-information necessary for deciding whether a dataset is suitable for the purpose of a particular LCA study. To further improve the representativeness of the datasets, an environmental farm monitoring network is required.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Maggies Place Inc, Phoenix, AZ, USA
When I moved back to my hometown to be near my grandchildren, I wanted to volunteer at a place that I felt passionate about. It had to concern animals, babies or books!
Maggie's place fit the bill. I have worked in the office, helped w/ a fundraiser-but my favorite volunteer activity was to bring babies to my own home while their mothers worked. That way I could read to them and share my dogs. All my favorite things!
I admire the moms who have chosen the gift of LIFE for their babies. God bless them !
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would love for the Cleveland, Ohio location to open a thrift store! My friend and I would gladly volunteer to get it going !
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?

It's hard to imagine Mary Tyrone's poignant curtain line, "We were so happy for a time," in a contemporary play, with its readily distracted characters, forever engaged in self-reinvention.
But like all the figures in "Long Day's Journey Into Night," Mary is awash in longing and regret, defined by misplaced opportunity and grief that doesn't have easy closure. "We were so happy for a time" is the purest evocation of an entrapped woman whose only solace is a morphine-induced memory of a better time, far removed and perhaps wholly imagined.
"Long Day's Journey" is the classic depiction of a tormented, claustrophobic family without exit, all of its members clinging to fantasies for the future and/or glories of the past. There's no escape for Mary or her husband, James, a hard-drinking has-been of an actor, or Jamie, an alcoholic who has succeeded in nothing, or the tubercular Edmund, with his unfulfilled artistic ambitions. The Tyrone family, destined to repeat its punishing, self-inflicted rituals, cannot even picture the possibility of an alternative. And, undoubtedly, Vanessa Redgrave, Brian Dennehy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Robert Sean Leonard, who played the wretched Tyrones on Broadway last spring, luminously brought to life the darkest underbelly of the intact nuclear family.
Eugene O'Neill was a master of the genre; in somewhat different veins so were Ibsen and Williams. Consider the current Broadway incarnation of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," with its dying patriarch (Ned Beatty), a blustering, but not wholly malign, vulgarian cornered by familial vultures and gagging on their legendary "mendacity." Edward Albee is also a vivid portrayer of the arguably preserved family unit or couple who are doomed to each other for eternity, their shared demons and ghosts and miseries only serving, ironically enough, as the final adhesive.
The Child as Confidante
Over the last few theatre seasons, however, a new kind of family has entered the picture onstage (no doubt in an attempt to reflect the evolving family in the culture at large). Happy it isn't; indeed, it's as flawed as its earlier counterpart. Nonetheless, the shackles are not as relentless, the possibility of making a break from it is very real. Depending on viewpoint, that's good or, conversely, a grim development.
In William Nicholson's "The Retreat From Moscow," a play about marital strife, which opened on Broadway this fall, the retiring, bookish Edward (John Lithgow) jumps ship after 33 years of nuptial nonbliss. He has finally found someone preferable to hectoring wife Alice (Eileen Atkins), whom he can no longer endure. The exacting Alice, who lives by strict religious scruples, wallows in analyzing and dissecting their beleaguered marriage, and she is devastated by Edward's abandonment. He is guilt-ridden; both confide in their son as if he were a pal or therapist and he falls into the role with ease. Admittedly, he's an adult son. Still, the presentation marks a departure onstage in parent-children relationships.
Several years ago, playwright Peter Hedges—best known for his quirky novel and later film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape"—looked at a family constellation with almost no traditional boundaries, where parents and teenagers (not adult children) are on equal footing—if anything, the teenager has the upper hand. "Good as New," which played Off-Broadway at the MCC Theater, follows the decomposition of an educated, affluent Chicago family—parents and teenage daughter—after mom's face-lift. Appalled by what she views as a violation of who her mother is (i.e., an enlightened feminist), the daughter confronts mom, who, in turn, blurts out that she took the nip-and-tuck route because she's losing dad to another woman. Further shattered, the girl now engages in a face-off with her father who defends himself by saying mom has also "wandered."
Confession and revelation abound, none of it pretty. Perhaps the most notable element is the daughter's dead-center involvement in her parents' personal lives. Indeed, she exudes a tone of righteous entitlement throughout as she questions and interrogates them. But these people have never established demarcations between themselves and their daughter. Concepts of civility and amenity are alien. Privacy is nonexistent.
Hedges, whom Back Stage interviewed at the time, defended the teenager, Maggie, as the play's moral voice, despite the limitations of her simple-minded vision. "Maggie has not been indoctrinated into the grayness of life. So she brings her absolute values, her quest for an absolute fixable truth, into the arena and therein the explosion occurs," he said. "But no one dies, and my hope is that a newer, truer family dynamic will emerge. I'm not sure the marriage will survive. But at least they'll be talking more.
"If Maggie has committed any crime, it's that she totally believed in her parents and the happy family image they've presented," he continued. "Unlike most teenagers in plays, who are already disappointed in their families, Maggie begins from a place of total adoration. And the parents thrive on it. They've made her."
Who would dispute that? Indeed, that's precisely the point.
As embodied in "Good as New," the new family is virtually devoid of hierarchy; it's fractured and transient. In other instances, it's fully restructured. Hedges' film "Pieces of April," marking his directorial debut, and his earlier screen adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel "About a Boy," are further examples of the genre. Within the admittedly limited confines of television, there's "It's All Relative," "The Bernie Mac Show," and "Six Feet Under." Teleplays, films, and novels have been tackling the thorny reconstituted family for years.
In fact, recent popular fiction has also inspired several theatrical offerings that do the same. Consider last summer's "Cavedweller" and "Flesh and Blood," both based on best-selling novels—by Dorothy Allison and Michael Cunningham, respectively—and both dramatized Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop as part of a series dubbed "Cradle and All: The Changing American Family."
With its feminist underpinnings, "Cavedweller" (adapted by Kate Moira Ryan) brings to the fore strong women fending for themselves and each other in the rural South. When a prodigal daughter, who has run off with a rock musician, returns (with a new child in tow) to claim the two daughters she dumped, the whole town rallies against her, including her own kids. In the end, everybody is reconciled (forgiveness and redemption are thematic motifs) and a new family is forged that includes friends, acquaintances, and even neighbors. These site-specific families, spawned by mutual need and, no doubt, intensely felt by their participants, are nonetheless fleeting. They will wither in a heartbeat.
Similarly, "Flesh and Blood," a three generational family saga, describes the improbable bonds that develop as a traditional family—a Greek immigrant patriarch, his American wife, and their three kids—falls apart in the wake of a changing world. Decades ago, novelists John Updike, Richard Yates, and Paula Fox were writing about failing families, alienated, unconnected, and noncommunicative or, perhaps contrary to received wisdom, communicating all too well. Cultural values were shifting and cracks in the traditional family were already visible. Still, the new family had not yet been born.
In adaptor Peter Gaitens' "Flesh and Blood," it has. The most interesting relationship emerges between the family's youngest progeny, Zoe, a wild child who abuses drugs and lives in the East Village, and a male transvestite, who becomes her protector (a surrogate sister) and later her straight-laced mother's closest confidante as well. This is not a friendship, but a self-sustaining family, whatever its duration. Like a family—and unlike a friendship—these characters, who seemingly have little in common short of their isolation, have somehow formed a cohesive bond.
Mom as Child
Yet a more savage depiction of the new family emerges in Polly Draper's "Getting Into Heaven," which played Off-Broadway (also last summer) at the Flea Theater. "Heaven" examined family life among the scrapings in the rock 'n' roll world, with its signature drugs and celebratory self-destruction. Specifically, it tells the story of Cat Venita (Draper), "a badass rock 'n' roller," her troubled lesbian relationship with the band's female drummer Rose, their emotionally disenfranchised son Danny (Rose's biological child), and the frustrated Jed (also a rock 'n' roller), who fathered Danny.
Draper acknowledged that some audiences—regardless of sexual orientation—might find the whole subject alien, if not distasteful. No matter. "I enjoy looking at families who, to the outside world, are outside of the norm," she said. "But what's universal in all families is their love for their children. 'Getting Into Heaven' could easily have been subtitled 'Sex, Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, and Motherhood.' "
There's only one problem. Cat and Rose are so screwed up, they're virtually incapable of caring for Danny, who is killed as a result of an accident that could have been avoided, if the badass rock 'n' rollers were even semiconscious.
More recently, there was Joyce Carol Oates' "Bad Girls," Tristine Skyler's "The Moonlight Room," and Paula Vogel's "The Long Christmas Ride Home" (which just completed a run Off-Broadway at the Vineyard, and may reopen on Broadway). In "Ride Home," recounting a particularly wretched family Christmas get-together, the kids are portrayed not by young actors but by manipulated hand puppets, their faces masklike and frozen (see "Puppets Abound on Local Stages: A New Aesthetic?" in Back Stage, Nov. 21, 2003). Later in the play, the kids, now fully grown (and played by actors), are totally unlucky in love, and, in fact, unable to maintain connections with anybody. The homosexual son, who recklessly practices unsafe sex, is suicidal.
Vogel's commentary about the nature of childhood, early traumas, and the long psychic shadows they cast is evident. Still, these characters are (debatably) better off than their parents precisely because they are rootless and, by extension, free (within parameters, anyway). The parents, on the other hand—terrifically played by Randy Graff and Mark Blum—philandering and fated to permanent unhappiness, will never be free of each other, with their self-gluing hellish secrets. The play is observing the old and the new family and how the former has given rise to the latter.
Whatever the issues and failings of the new generation, Vogel said she is "optimistic about the new families my characters and their children will later create. They are free and, if nothing else, they're aware of alternatives to the way their parents lived." She added, "I'm hopeful about new and positive family patterns that we'll be seeing onstage as well as in the world. Restructured families don't have to be non-harmonious and ruptured."
Nowhere is the nonharmonious, ruptured family more brutally summoned than in Joyce Carol Oates' "Bad Girls," which recently closed Off-Broadway at the Directors Company. In this domestic heart of darkness, a family is helmed by a single mom—financially impoverished, lonely, and in search of a new mate. Meanwhile, her three teenager daughters competitively vie for mom's attention, jealous of and enraged by each new boyfriend mom brings around. Teetering on a psychic abyss, one of the daughters falsely accuses mom's newest boyfriend of sexually molesting her (the daughter) and the entire family shatters in the aftermath of the vicious lie. Two years later, the three girls and mom have gone their separate ways, losing all contact with each other. It rings true.
So too does "The Moonlight Room," a play by 32-year-old newcomer Tristine Skyler that considers rootless teenagers in unraveling families headed by single parents. In some ways, it's a descendant of Kenneth Lonergan's "This Is Our Youth," a play that looks at well-heeled Upper West Side college graduates, all aimless, all inebriated and/or drugged, all the offspring of divorce, remarriage—the stepfamily. (Bret Easton Ellis' novel "Less Than Zero" covers similar territory among the scions of Hollywood's elite.)
Skyler's "The Moonlight Room," a recent Off-Broadway, tells the story of two middle-class adolescents, Sal (Laura Breckenridge) and Josh (Brendan Sexton III), sitting in a hospital waiting room in the middle of the night while their friend undergoes a stomach pumping following a drug overdose. Throughout the ordeal, family members arrive, including the ravaged widowed father of the kid on drugs, who can't understand how his highly literate son got involved with a crowd that takes narcotics; Josh's stepbrother, an emotionally removed, pedantic prig; and Sal's disheveled mom, an unhappily divorced woman, still resentful of her ex-husband, whom she constantly badmouths to her daughter. Equally upsetting to Sal is the fact that mom neither tends to personal hygiene nor cleans the house. She is a nonfunctioning adult and Sal tells her so.
And that's another key. These new families are led—allegedly led—by adults who are as childlike and lost as their youngsters, if not more so.
"Sal is hurt," explained actress Laura Breckenridge, who plays Sal, the disturbed youngster. "She loves her mother, but feels that her mother could do better. She could clean the apartment and wash her hair. And she resents her mother always badmouthing her [Sal's] father. We decided that Sal looked like her father. Sal and her father are both dark, unlike Sal's mother, who is blonde. When she looks at me, she sees him. When she is badmouthing him, she is badmouthing me."
Most serious, mom does not know how to be a mom. Sal's curfew is 3 am, but then her unfettered friends don't have any curfews; indeed, Josh doesn't even have a home. His mother, who has remarried and doesn't know how to handle Josh's disruptive behavior, has thrown him out of the house and he lives on the street, not unlike a shelter reject, scrounging around for food and his next drink. "The Moonlight Room" is a sad work about modern families suffering from fragmentation and chaos, and the lost youngsters that emerge from them.
"I set out to look at kids at risk, not their families," noted Skyler. "But how can you look at any personal crisis without looking at family? It's our most primal relationship. The world has changed from Eugene O'Neill's time and the plays that deal with family are going to reflect those changes. But the family—whatever its structure—is eternal and I'm not convinced that the emotions in connection with the family are different, simply because the world has changed. What's different—what I think we'll be seeing in the future onstage—is the way those feelings are expressed. There will be new ways of looking at and presenting the family."
Old feelings, new forms? That remains to be seen.

Obama: We Need To Bail Out Newspapers Or Blogs Will Run The World
Obama yesterday expressed concern at the sorry state of the news industry and said that he will look at a news paper bailout, because otherwise, blogs will take over the world, and that would be a threat to democracy, The Hill reports.
"I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding," he said.
Translation: The blogs are serving the traditional media role of watchdog against government abuse. After decades of consolidating the corporate media into a few hands in CIA control the public media is breaking free again, making it impossible for the government to lie the people into more wars.
But Obama is not paying attention to what is really going on. The corporate media tried to compete with the blogs by spending millions of dollars on slick websites, only to learn that it was never about whiz-bang technology but about getting the truth. What the blogs are doing in the US today was done with FAX machines in the USSR and with simple printing presses in tyrannies from Louie the 16th's to Charles the First, to Mussolini, to Ceausescu. Once the people know they are being lied to by the government, they will seek the truth wherever it is found and in whatever form it takes. At the moment, it is the blogs. Absent a brand new news entity staffed with trusted names from the blog-o-sphere, the TV networks and newspapers will be a long time gaining back the trust they lost by lying to the people about Saddam's "nookular" bombs.
Absent confession of the previous lies and a true act of contrition, this government will never regain the trust of the American people.
Trust arrives on foot but departs on horseback!

One of my favorite things to look at from my childhood is my old journals. I found quite a couple while cleaning my mom's house this summer and they inspired me to make one for my daughter. Her preschool teacher had her keep one during the year, so she was already used to the idea.
I simply took a composition journal and covered the front cover with fabric. In order to make the inside look a tad more polished I added some scrapbook paper. The ribbons are cutesy but also serve to close the journal. We brought this journal everywhere and she journaled at the end of the day before going to bed.
She's starting Kindergarten in a couple of weeks and I know we'll always treasure the memories from this last summer before school. Just this morning I got teary-eyed looking through it, I love how she interpreted the different things we did together.

What is a Fixed Annuity?
Have you heard of a Fixed Indexed Annuity? Each year millions of people are rolling their 401Ks and IRAs into self-directed IRAs using Fixed Indexed Annuity contracts. In fact, in 2014 fixed annuities sales experienced a 23% increase from the previous year.
Fixed Indexed Annuities are contracts with life insurance companies. Life insurance contracts or fixed annuities allow for a person to deposit money with the company for a contractual amount of time, and most contracts allow for the depositor to take ten percent of the principal amount of money off the contract each year after the first year. There are several different names for these contracts. They can be called equity indexed annuities, hybrid annuities, indexed annuities, and occasionally they are referred to couple other ways.
Fixed Annuities are very different from variable annuities or variable life insurance. With a fixed contract the contract holder knows exactly how bad it could get. This eliminates surprises. With stock market related vehicles, savers can lose all their money. This is not the case with fixed indexed annuities.
Each year of the contract, the gains made in that year are locked in, and the contract never goes below the locked gains if the contract holder remains within the parameters of the contract. What are the parameters? Some fixed indexed annuities have 5, 10, or 14 year surrender periods (the duration period of the contract).
For example, if a person purchased a 10-year fixed annuity, there may be a declining surrender charge. Each contract varies and this is for example use only… During the first year there may be a 10% penalty if you wanted to take money out of the contract. This is what we mean when we say the contract holder knows the worst it can ever get.
The next detail is huge. No other savings vehicle can give a saver income for life. Fixed Annuity contracts allow contract owners to generate an income stream from their contract that they can never outlive. For this reason, it is paramount that you have your annuity portfolio built from the highest paying contracts. The stock market and banks have no way to generate an income that you will never outlive.
When a person has money in mutual funds or the stock market, there is no way of knowing how bad it can get, except to say they could lose it all. During the Great Depression, people who had their money invested in the stock market lost money, and the bank depositors lost their money when the banks declared a bank holiday. It actually got so bad that the stock market was closed for several months during the Great Depression. Who was open? Life insurance companies were open, and none of their depositors lost a dime.
We believe if you compound your money year after year you will be better off financially than if your money experiences "bull years and bear years." Putting you in a financial position where you avoid losing money is key. Also generating consistency and stability no matter what, and always putting your interests before ours, are our goals.
Not all annuity contracts are alike. They have bells and whistles. At TreeceCo we have access to the best annuity carriers available, and we would be honored to earn your business. We only work with the best carriers, but one or two companies do not control us. We work for our clients!
Warning: most financial professionals are here today and gone tomorrow. Many financial professionals can sell you an indexed annuity, but few are annuity specialists and even fewer have over 34 years of experience. One of the worst things you can do is to buy an annuity from an insurance generalist who is not an annuity expert. When that happens you may be locked into a contract that has limitations. Make sure your fixed annuity portfolio is assembled by the most creditable expert.

The wacky and "cool" factor at Virtual Reality (VR) environments creator, Owlchemy Labs, is getting kicked up a Notch with an influx of $5 million. The money was secured from Qualcomm Ventures as a registered Series A investment. Qualcomm was joined by The VR Fund, HTC, Capital Factory, and Colopl Next. What will the company do with all that dough? They are going to make VR that you can reach out with your hands and grab a hold of things and make VR into something a lot more like the Star Trek, The Next Generation's Holodeck.
Oculus Touch, HTC's Vive, and PSVR have all bundled Owlchemy Labs' top VR community app, which is available right now. It is the Job Simulator game. It's kind of a quirky game of a surrealistic future. Players have their own virtual work space where they can do actual office tasks, turn equipment on and off, use computers, and even cause various levels of mayhem in that work space. Or maybe you just want to play the simulation of using the copy machine to print and collate 100 copies of your virtual paper scribbles.
It may not sound like that much fun, but many who have tried it found it quite a realistic fascination. The new additions to their VR technology repertoire include using motion trackers to record precise movements of the players and cause real-time modifications of the whole VR environment based upon that analyzed record of movement. The research and development arm of the company is a team of sixteen people, all intensely focused on making the technology indistinguishable with magic.
The investment funds will start the launch of a whole suite of new VR applications. The money will not change the way they develop original, specific VR environments that are funky enough to be instant classic originals. But, the interactions with such games and simulators in the future will be much more hands on; literally! They fully intend to extend the technology so VR becomes indispensable. Full manipulation by the user's hands must be supported to make VR finally take off into the main stream for all kinds of different applications. Read more about this in TechCrunch's article about Investment in Owlchemy Labs.

Jane Lynch has credited studying theatre at university with changing the course of her life.
The Wreck-It-Ralph star told Movieline that her decision to attend graduate school for theatre allowed her to express herself more freely to family and friends.
"[I got out of] of my hometown; going to college was what everybody did, but when I went to graduate school I didn't have any support for that [from my family]," she recalled. "Wanting to be an actress, it was like, find something you can do and learn to type."
She continued: "I got offered a scholarship to Cornell to go to graduate school and although my parents were like, 'Wow! That's really great', they were like, 'Theatre? Theatre?' I was like, 'I'm going to do it anyway'.
"I hopped on a train and went to Ithaca, New York. I worked to make money and was given a fellowship, and I taught a class in order to make money, but I did it on my own."
Lynch also discussed her joy at later teaching acting as part of an education fellowship.
"I think we made $120 a week or something, but it was enough. It was enough in those days, anyway, to pay my rent and keep me in beer and coffee. The essentials," she joked.
"So I think we all have those things where we go, you know what - I'm not getting a lot of support here for this, but I just have to go. I have to go do what I need to do, and I have to take the chance. I can't take one more day of being in the doldrums because that hurts too much."
Lynch ultimately became a Hollywood star with breakthrough roles in films like Best in Show and her award-winning portrayal of Sue Sylvester in Glee.
Wreck-It-Ralph is now playing in the US and opening on February 15, 2013 in the UK.

Technology and Education
The Technology-Related Assistance Act for Individuals with Disabilities
Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
When considering AT for individuals with hearing impairment, I did a little research before consulting one of my two deaf cousins to see ask his pick for the AT device that he would not want to be without. I was surprised at his answer. Though he notes that computer technology in general has greatly changed his life, his top pick is the web cam. The web cam allows Josh to more actively communicate with family, particularly his deaf sister, even though they live in different areas. Josh is currently and educator of deaf children and states that he often incorporates web cams into his lessons for projects and for communication with other schools. The following short video gives a quick view of how Josh's alma mater, Gallaudet University, is using technology, particularly web cams, for assistive technology in instruction.
"Literacy—the ability to read and write—is vital to a successful education, career, and quality of life in today's world. Whether in the form of curling up with a good book, jotting down a phone number, making a shopping list, or writing a report, being literate means participating effectively at home and in society.
Although learning to read and write in traditional ways may not be possible when you cannot see print on a page, there are many other paths to becoming literate. Learning to read and write in braille can make a dramatic difference in the life of a visually impaired child or adult."
-American Foundation for the Blind
A braille writer (brailler) is just one of the AT devices that is being used in classrooms across the United States to help visually impaired students be successful in a school setting.
Check out the Mountbatten Brailler
Or the Perkins Brailler- Next Generation
This video provides a great, real life example of how assistive technology is being used to help visually impaired students be successful in the classroom.
On a daily basis I incorporate a variety of assistive technologies for my students with learning disabilities. One of the technologies that was recommended in my research and is possibly the most utilized in my classroom, is a voice recording app (dictation recording app) for the iPad. This "new" technology has replaced old school tape recorders.
Those students who have difficulty keeping up when taking notes, who are auditory learners, or who are struggling readers, can replay the lesson as many times as needed to gain the information that they need. This can also be a great study tool when preparing for assessments.
These videos provides a great, real life example of how assistive technology is being used to help students be successful in life and in the classroom.

Michael Ennis has urged the NRL to strip back the powers of video referees after Cronulla were nearly robbed of a win over Canberra due to a howler.
NRL referees boss Tony Archer on Monday admitted his men upstairs got it wrong when they overturned a decision to award Andrew Fifita a four-pointer in the dying minutes of Saturday's match with the Raiders.
Replays showed Fifita clearly grounded the ball, but the video referees still found sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field decision.
While it did not end up costing the Sharks, with a Valentine Holmes golden point field goal sealing a 21-20 win, it has left a bad taste.
Sharks hooker Ennis said slow-motion replays should not be used when ruling on the grounding of the ball and officials were guilty of over-analysing footage.
He emphasised there was room for technology in the game but said too many incorrect decisions were being made on groundings.
"I think when we're looking at groundings it's got to be done in the motion, it can't be slowed down," Ennis said.
"I can understand if someone's foot has touched the sideline or if a ball has been placed on the line. In those sorts of things it's wonderful to use slow-mo. And with the technology why not.
"But in terms of placing the football, there's so many different ways that a football gets put on the ground. You've just got to look at it in real speed. That's the common sense behind it.
"You can't be slowing it down frame by frame because your natural reaction when you go to put a football down, you've got to open your hand to place the ball down."
Ennis said he appreciated human error was part of the game but it was hard to take when it almost cost the team, who are clinging to the edge of the top eight, an important win.
"It was a try every day of the week and it didn't surprise me yesterday that Tony (Archer) had to come out and say that," he said. "It's just fortunate for us, with how important that game was and how much we put into it, that (the win) didn't get taken off us."

3 genres in one? Now that is one package deal I can really get to grips with.
The Guest is a relatively small yet formidable feature. And oddly enough, one that is yet to even be released in the States, despite it's American production. Fortunately (for me anyway), it was released in the UK on the 5th of September. I finally got round to seeing it last night after convincing my mother, who incidentally is disgusted by movie violence, that it wasn't anything to be afraid of. I justified this by explaining that The Guest starred former Downton Abbey cast member Dan Stevens (a particular favorite of my mam's). I also pointed out that it wasn't identified in the horror genre by IMDB, and was listed, instead, as a 'Thriller.' This is most likely the case because thriller's tend to be based more on tension, focusing on psychological affects of certain situations and the drama that consequently ensues, unlike its dark sibling the horror film, which tends to involve more violence and abject terror. Based on these definitions-that I completely and utterly made up on the spot-it is difficult to really place The Guest into one or the other, but it was easy enough to convince my mam to go.
The Guest follows David (Dan Stevens), an ex-army official, as he seeks the family of one of his recently dead comrades. He arrives under the pretense that his deceased friend, Caleb Peterson, asked him to make sure each and every member of his family knew exactly how much he loved them and that in his final moments he was thinking about them. David completes this objective but is invited to stay in the family home, on a temporary basis, by Caleb's mother Laura (Sheila Kelley) who deems that it would be good for the family and their grieving process to have him around. I'm sure i don't need to tell you that this most certainly was not the case. Right from the very beginning it is very obvious to the audience that there is something not quite right about David, his long stares into camera, his ludicrous ability to stay cool and calm, and his intimidating yet warm presence all sound major alarm bells. Quickly, Caleb's sister, Anna (Maika Monroe) begins to suspect something is wrong and David's true nature begins to emerge.
I don't wish to reveal any more about the plot of the movie so as to avoid spoilers, but I will say this: it is not what you expect. All the above may sound fairly generic and unoriginal, however I assure you it is not, both in terms of the actual plot and the way in which the plot is beautifully realized on the screen from the Simon Barrett's screenplay, The Guest is much more than you're average home invasion flick, and that is why it is so interesting.
As I mentioned earlier- it is hard to define which genre this piece fits into. In the end, I concluded that it was a movie of 3 parts, and 3 different genres. To me, the movie begins with a straight up thriller, all of the tension and intrigue of classic thrillers is evident with an underlying theme of the unknown driving the story. The taut opening act that introduces the characters and the potential conflict focuses on the emotions and drama within the Peterson family whilst also engaging in the mystery surrounding the new addition to said family. Shortly after a house party in the relatively early stages of the movie the tone and direction changes to that of an action movie. As soon as a phone call is overheard the pace is driven up to 10 and not only do full scale gun fights ensue but even governmental agents and special police tactical forces get involved. It screams classic action movie. Finally, the movie's last act, which begins precisely at the point at which the remaining two protagonists enter a Halloween- themed school disco, is a straight up slasher horror. It contains all the classic conventions us horror hounds have grown to love and love to hate, including but not limited to; creaky floorboards, jump scares, blocked exits, limited cell-phone coverage and of course the almost invincible antagonist. The combining of these three genres, quite distinctly I may add as-well, really adds to the enjoyment of the film- it is fast paced, over-the-top, enthralling and just plain good fun.
What makes this movie even more fun for the people who have some film knowledge is the extent to which Director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett play on the cliches of each genre and create an excellent pastiche of the movie world. I say pastiche because it refers to a work of art that plays homage to a certain other form of art, rather than mocking it in parody form. Pastiche celebrates- and that is exactly what The Guest does. It celebrates the early 70's and 80's horror, thriller and action movies throughout the movies run-time, whether that be through abrupt and quick cut editing and soundtrack changes, long landscape shots, musical motifs, cliched characters or dialogue- "Sir, we have a situation," or even just the generally retro feel of the whole movie, the whole film is a movie celebration. Right from the opening credits it is clear to the audience that you are not about to watch your every day, run-of-the-mill summer movie, the campy vibe of those old style credits is sustained throughout and to great effect. The soundtrack, in particular, does a fantastic job at setting the mood and tone of the piece- it never takes itself too seriously,and that is why it is so much goddamn fun!
I was genuinely on edge throughout The Guest, I was excited and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I am a huge fan of this sort of postmodern, self-aware film-making and Wingard and Barrett have once again pulled off the right balance of self-referential humor and genuinely serious film-making, just like in their last outing together- 2013's You're Next. The action is brutal and fun, with shocks coming left, right and center- with a particular one in a quarry over the exchange of guns being sadistically hilarious. This movie absolutely will not be for everybody, I fully expect it to divide opinion when it is released in the US on the 17th of September, but if you can appreciate this type of generic satire and are willing to just let it happen to you, I can guarantee you will love it!
The Wingard and Barrett team are certainly one to watc
The Guest opens in US theaters 09/17/14.

A new report reveals that harmful emissions from oil and gas development are increasing. This is bad news for Pennsylvania families who have been repeatedly told by industry trade groups that pollution is under control.
According to the Department of Environmental Protection, in 2014 oil and gas companies emitted nearly 110,000 tons of methane – a powerful climate pollutant that's rapidly accelerating global warming. That represents an increase over the previous year. With 2016 on pace to be the warmest year ever recorded, we should be reducing methane emissions, not increasing them. Read More
