Welcome back to Feature Friday, where each Friday I share with you a new Shaklee product that I love and is changing my family and life for the better! For my very first feature for me it was a no brainer! I have come to love so many things Shaklee has to offer, in fact everything I have used to date I still use and I LOVE! But for me I new exactly what I would share with you first: Basic H2, super concentrated all purpose cleaner.
I am sharing this first because it is the very first Shaklee product I purchased and used in my home and I haven't looked back since. I would love for you to listen to what I think about Basic H2 but first I will share with you how it is changings others lives and helping to make life easier for them. Here are some of my dear friends and family members who are using Basic H2 in their homes and this is what they had to say:
~Basic H2 is useful in my home on a daily basis. I keep the mixed solutions in a spray bottle on my kitchen counter. It's great for quick clean up from kitchen spills on the floor, also use it on all the counter tops. I even use it to clean up our doggie bathroom messes. It works great for taking off wall paper. The bottles last you a very long time and well worth the money I will continue to purchase Basic H2. ~ Sandy
~I have been a house painter for 29 years. In all that time I have never found a product that works better than BasicH for stripping wallpaper. It is, bar none, the most effective and easiest way to soften the paste and remove the paper without harming the wall underneath or gassing myself with toxic chemicals. It is safe, easy, and pleasant to use. One tsp in a spray bottle of water is more than enough to tackle the toughest paper, that is a fraction of the cost of the stuff with all the warnings on the label. ~Kathryn Miller (Snowbird Painting)
I purchased my first bottle of Basic H2 in June of 2012, so almost a year ago. I bought it because I had been experimenting with safer, and cheaper household cleaners. I was using a lot of baking soda and vinegar and I was sort of happy with them . I was happy it was less expensive and I was so happy that it was safer for my family but I despised the smell and they didn't clean as well as I would have liked. So in searching for something I liked better, yet was safe for my family, I ran across Basic H2 and Shaklee. I had heard of Shaklee from when I was kid, my mom had used it a little and I new my aunt had used it also so the company's name rang a bell. So I ordered a bottle of Basic H2 and I was really happy with it. I became happier the more I learned about it and how much it could actually do!
Here are some of the experiences I have had with Basic H2:
As a fruit and veggie wash……
Tar removal from skin……(you can read more about that here)
Tar removal from shoes…….
Cleaning a wood chair……..nail polish, paint, stuck on food you name it!
And some pictures others have had experience with using Basic H2:
Carpet cleaning……
Crayon removal…..
Cleaning stainless steel……
Wood floors……..
As you can see it really is an ALL purpose cleaner! There are 100's of uses for Basic H2! And I still haven't shared with you the best part about it……….
It is all natural and SAFE for YOU, your HOME, & your PLANET!
It is 100% non-toxic and safe! For once your children can help you clean without the worries of harmful chemicals.
Here are my top 10 reasons why I love Basic H2!
1) Glass cleaner
You can eliminate ammonia based window cleaner without nasty streaks.
2) Degreaser
Mild enough to clean your windows but strong enough to use as a degreaser. I use it to degrease my stove top and also my chainsaw! Yes I have a chainsaw
3) Carpet Cleaner
I love to grab my bottle of all purpose cleaner and to do quick spot treatments on my carpets. It is also wonderful in a carpet cleaning machine.
4) Cost Saving
I am saving tons of money by using Basic H2! For a 16oz bottle of glass cleaner it costs me 1 cent! For a bottle of all purpose cleaner it cost about 3 cents!
5) A little goes a long way.
Basic H2 is as I have said, Super Concentrated! One 16 oz bottle could last you a year or more!
6) It is SAFE for my family!
When I am cleaning my counters, floors, and windows I know that the little hands and feet that follow in my foot steps will be touching a SAFE, clean surface. There is nothing more important to me than keeping my family safe!
7) It makes a great shower cleaner. I add it to a little refillable scrub brush and keep it in my shower and scrub when I have a few extra minutes. You can read more about that here.
8) Fruit & Veggie wash.
I also wash all my fruits and vegetables with the same thing I clean my home with! Yes it sounds crazy but this stuff really is that safe! You can read more about that here.
9) My children can help me clean!
Again this is that safe, my children can clean with me!
10) I can share this with others and make their homes safer too!!!!
If you are interested in learning more about Basic H2 read more here!

West Valley Storage in Utah adds U-Haul retnals
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (Nov. 14, 2013) — U-Haul rental equipment and moving supplies are now available at West Valley Storage, located at 4667 S. 4800 W. Owners Mark and Wallace Jacobson have been operating their storage business since 2010.
"Adding U-Haul rentals is a good opportunity for us to grow our business," the Jacobsons said. "We already offer storage space rentals and U-Haul equipment offerings complement our current services well."
Families needing the finest in moving services will now have increased convenience and a shorter distance to travel when moving, which not only makes their move easier but also has the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. U-Haul partnering with business owners across North America to increase convenience for customers while helping our environment is just one of the programs that support U-Haul Company's Corporate Sustainability initiatives.
"Allowing small business owners to add U-Haul truck and trailer rentals to their existing product, an offering that comes with no start-up costs, helps provide these businesses with instant profits," exclaimed Bradley Ling, president, U-Haul Company of Utah. "We are more than happy to have given Mark and Wallace the opportunity to build their primary business with the U-Haul name brand."

It boggles the mind to think what is at the top of the list
Not all are discountined and some like the Mc Gratin make special appearances from time to time. This is on the menu of McDonald's Japan.
I always wanted to try the McLobster roll. Not so much after seeing a photo.
I'm kind of thinking the #2 spot ... the McAfrica burger ... really should have 'won' the top spot for poor taste.
Some others mentioned in the comments
- Thailand had a rice cake burger ... rice cakes instead of a bun
- Onion nuggets
- Eggs Benedict McMuffin with hollandaise sauce
My own votes for worst were the McShrek shake and the breifly reformated Filet-o-fish.

Editor's review
Bonarka City Center is a colourful splash on the shopping scene. Besides being brand new as of November 2009, it's one of the largest shopping centres in Central Europe. Bonarka is home to 270 stores, including more than 30 restaurants and cafes. Big names include Empik, Zara, Adidas-Nike, Pierre Cardin and the "hipermarket" Auchan. One of our favorite spots to grab a coffee is at Mont Blanc at the fountain in the middle of the mall. Parking spaces are plentiful and the shops many.

I visit Bonarka City Centre whenever I visit Krakow, 6 times in the last 2 years. It's a great shopping mall, not just because of its sheer physical size but more because of its wide variety of products offered for sale within its 270 shops. Walking through its wide corridors looking what's on display in the shop windows, particularly when outside is too cold to venture effortlessly is itself an exercise in physical exertion. Take the escalator to the top floor and you'll find the best selection of cold or hot drinks and take-away food you can ever imagine. Or why don't you opt for a table and take a full meal from one of the restaurants available? Krakow has two other full size shopping malls closer to the centre than Bonarka but...are they comparable to Bonarka? Definitely not. Bonarka is undoubtedly the most modern shopping mall in the whole of Poland. To add to the great service, Bonarka offers a free bus shuttle which leaves from the Rondo at the end of Ul Kalwaryjska and reaches the mall in less than 10 minutes.

A very big shopping center/mall ! with so many shops of clothes, shoes, design and decorations items, computing, travels, .... The range of products is higher that anywhere else as shops are a lot bigger than the same corporated shops located in other shopping center in Cracow.I recommend Tk Maxx for very good shopping of various designers or not products at discounted price.On site, if you wish to have a nice lunch break between shopping, there are many bars and restaurants of many different nationalities where to have unusual and untypical food for lunch. A big supermarket for groceries is also on site. And if you are not tired after shopping in that huge mall, there is a nice way to relax with the big cinema complex where most of recent movies are available on viewing .So, I would recommend that shopping center to everyone.!
Jackie from United Kingdom Reply
Fantastic ... Great shops. Amazing cafes. Spotless. Loved the security on segways. Looking forward to a repeat visit next week! Only 10 minutes or so outside Centre. Very easy bus trip X

Well, this shopping mall is bonkers. I think it's the biggest one I've ever been to. Good selection of shops and cafes. Easy to get lost.
Peter from United Kingdom Reply
Found it very confusing to find my way around the place, as it is not well signposted! The VIP cinema was OK, though.
Katarzyna from United States Reply
Nice place, great service. I was looking for boots. In Polish producer store (I can't remember the name) I found one I could come back to. Reason?: sale persons were so helpful and with initiative that I am not sure if I was impressed more with boots or serivice.
Dru from United Kingdom Reply
The best shopping mall in and around craow with the best supermarket: Auchan. If it's down to food products, if you can't find it in Auchan you won't find it anywhere.
Kate from Poland Reply
This place is BIG. No, seriously. It's huge! The Auchan alone is the size of a Polish village. Just sayin'
ola from Poland Reply
Auchan in BONARKA CITY CENTER i very cheap ! great value for shopping.
Mark from United Kingdom Reply
Bonarka has the best cinema in Krakow - you can enjoy their VIP option in big loungers - great for watching 3D movies!
brien from United States Reply
When it opened, I thought it would be a madhouse, but since then it's become quite a nice and calm spot to take a walk, have a coffee and get out the freezin' cold. Auchan's ridiculously big, but if you can't find it there you ain't tryin'.

Or, you can simply relax into nature and receive an adventure of a lifetime, allowing the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of Africa to heal you.
Upon arrival in Tanzania, we will guide you on a profound journey that includes:
- all-levels yoga and meditation practice in stunning settings
- delightfully eco-friendly luxurious accommodation at award-winning lodges and camps

A whole new pile of information on story, gameplay and characters for the next generation for Pokémon has arrived; new narrative hooks, some of the coolest looking designs in a while, plus a new battling technique all join the fray.
Most notably, there are no gyms on show, with them potentially being replaced with The Island Challenge. Called a Rite of Passage, the aim is to become the Island Champion.
There are four Trial captains, each of whom appear to have a gameplay based puzzle to solve, rather than offering a simple battle. One mentions finding flowers, another has some sort of observation puzzle. Once all four captains on all four islands are defeated, the player can face the Island Totem Pokémon. Which is basically a boss Pokémon, with an "aura" to modify stats, and the ability to summon other Pokémon to battle with it. Cool idea, often seen in other RPGs, but new for this series.
Once each island is clear, the Island Kahuna can be battled, which provides an even stronger battle challenge. So, technically there are 8 gym battles, but with some caveats and tweaks to the formula.
Freshness is definitely a good thing here, not least in the new forms revealed for Classic Pokémon...
Exeggutor is shaped more like a tall palm tree with a tail, taking on dragon grass typing. This may be the goofiest looking thing I've seen in a long while.
Vulpix and Ninetails have taken on white colouring and Ice or Ice/Fairy typing respectively. Ninetails looks gorgeous in this form.
Sandshrew and Sandslash, Both Ice/Steel.
On to the brand new Pokémon:
Oricorio. Dancing bird. Has 4 forms, each is a different dance style, ~
Baile Style (fire), Pom-Pom Style (electric), Pa'u Style (psychic), and Sensu Style (ghost); one for each island in the game. Revelation Dance is new move which matches the typing of the form in question.
New ability: Dancer. Gets to copy other Pokémon's dance type move. E.g., Quiver Dance/Swords dance. So free stat buffs for this one.
Minior, Rock/Flying Spiky orb Pokémon. After taking damage, the ability Shields Down kicks in, revealing Minior's Core, which has differing colouring depending on islands, will presumably be weaker in this form.
Previously unveiled Yungoos (or Trump-mon) evolves into Gumshoos, who is styled to have a little trench coat and hat.
Fomantis, Evolves into Lurantis, a Flower mantis Pokémon. Pure grass typing, with new grass move, Solar Blade. Seems to be a high level move with the aim of making grass types more viable.
Mudsdale (the big Clydesdale style horse) has a previous evolution: Mudbray. A tiny, adorable donkey. Ground typing.
I must say, all of these new creatures are delightful designs, with the use of colours in particular being a standout.
A new sequence involving the ability to ride your Pokemon was also shown, maybe to continue the idea of replacing HM slaves? The rideable beasts are player controlled, and can be used to reach otherwise sealed off areas.
Finally, a new form of attack, Z Moves, join the familiar Pokemon formula (A name I think gives credence to the idea that Pokémon Z has been recycled into elements of this game).
Available to use once per battle, specific Z moves will deal massive damage. A stone activation sequence similar to mega evolution is supposedly in play.
They feature very fun looking animations as the trainers dance and then the Pokémon attack in cinematic fashion.
What's your favorite new feature in Pokemon Sun and Moon?

This summer marked 14 years since we moved to Sacramento. We've traveled a lot in this state, but in fact, we rarely go very far–we've stuck to the 3-hour radius around Sacramento (Monterey & Big Sur, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, the Bay Area, Napa Valley and Sonoma County) partly because there's so much to do within a 2-3 hour drive from home. But that means that, until about 10 days ago, I'd never been to Mendocino County, which always caused people to gasp and then insist that I must go there, that I would love it.
A couple of weeks ago, as summer started to wind down, we realized we hadn't taken a trip with just the four of us for months. After no luck finding a last-minute vacation rental on the Mendocino coast, we found a beautiful vacation rental in the Sea Ranch on Airbnb, somewhere we'd never heard of (more info here). It's a rugged, sparsely-populated area just south of the Mendocino County line on one of the most beautiful stretches of coast on the West. We wanted a relaxing trip of hiking, biking, and animal watching, and that's exactly what we got.
(See more off-the-beaten-path ideas in my Secret California category.)
After posting photos on Instagram, I realized that this place is definitely not unknown! I heard from people who have loved to vacation there for years or even plan to relocate there. The Sea Ranch is a small community of about 1000 people at the northernmost part of the Sonoma County coast, just south of the small town of Gualala (pronounced "Wa-la-la"). The community sits on the meadows between Highway 1 and the ocean, so most houses have a sea view.
The houses are purposely simple, designed not to stand out against the nature. There's no landscaping or lawns; instead, the natural vegetation surrounds the houses (wildflowers, cypress trees, ice plant, and low-growing shrubs).
What attracted us to the Sea Ranch was the coastal trail system that connects miles and miles of bluffs and beaches. The coast allows public beach access for everyone, so even though the trails are part of the Sea Ranch community, the public can use the trails, too. There are even a few small parking lots with restrooms for the public to use. But we rarely saw anyone while walking! It was usually just us and a bunch of deer.
The coast here is rugged, and I find it fascinating to see how the ocean has shaped the nature, from cypress trees that mimic the wind's flow to cliffs like the one above that have been terraced by the constant force of the waves. And, like so many places along the Sonoma and Mendocino coasts, there are sea caves:
Just outside all the Sea Ranch homes are miles of trails. If you go north, the trails take you to Gualala Point Regional Park, a 195-acre park with coastal and inland hiking trails through meadows and forests, the Gualala River (for kayaking), and Gualala Beach, where we spent a fun morning. If you've spent much time on the beaches in Northern California, you know that the water is generally not safe, so we kept our distance from the crashing waves and instead played among the cliffs and driftwood.
All along the Sea Ranch coast are beaches, some accessible (via trails and steep stairs), and some not so much. We visited Stengel Beach, which felt small and secluded, and Walk On Beach, which was bigger and a bit busier with local kids and their dogs having fun. My kids quickly slipped into their favorite activities: Gabriel found pieces of kelp to represent each member of the family and then played "family" with them on the rocks while Noah played frisbee and soccer with his dad.
(The downside to visiting the beaches on most late afternoons in summer…overcast and cold!)
In case you're wondering about the scarves and long sleeves you see above, the weather was cool and mostly cloudy, with misty mornings and evenings–normal weather for summer on the coast. But we did get some clear weather toward the end of our stay, which made for spectacular star-gazing from the hot tub. We saw the Milky Way, planets, and several shooting stars! And being in such a remote place meant lots of animals to see right from the house windows: foxes (in fact, a fox family greeted us when we arrived!), raccoons, quail, vultures, and lots of deer around at all times of day.
We loved staying at the Sea Ranch so much that we made plans to spend a week here next spring and wondered out loud what it would take to have a vacation home there. (More soon on the day we spent in Mendocino County and what to do in the Sea Ranch area.)
Have you been to the Sea Ranch or the Sonoma coast? I'd love to hear your suggestions for our next trip there!
(This is the Airbnb vacation rental we stayed at, in case you're interested. It was one of the nicest rentals we've stayed in.)

Players and officials of Rivers United will be hosted at the Rivers State Government House on Saturday following their impressive showing in the just concluded Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
United finished in second place with 60 points from 30 matches and secure a ticket to represent Nigeria in the Caf Champions League in 2017.
"I want to thank the Governor for this show of magnanimity because it will go a long way to motivating the boys to do even more.
"The Governor has been our number one supporter and we wanted to win the trophy for him.
"We gave it our best shot, just about fell short but we will try harder to go one better next season," Eguma told RIVERSUNITED MEDIA.
On his part, captain, Austin said he is not surprised at the development as the Governor has always proved to be a lover of football.
"I am not surprised because the Governor loves football and success.
"I thank the Governor for the planned reception and I am very happy about it," he said.
Rivers United, founded on February 19, 2016 will be competing in the Caf Champions League for the first time in their history.

Economic Consequences Of Surviving Breast Cancer
June 19, 2001
Two million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the next five years. The number of survivors is growing thanks to medical advances and early detection, but the economic consequences to providers, taxpayers and survivors is uncertain. To better understand the economic dynamics of breast cancer, the Moffitt Research Institute plans to study whether or not long-term breast cancer survivors incur significant economic losses relative to average women, and whether or not there is discrimination against survivors in the labor market.
A National Cancer Institute study suggested the direct costs (medical and other health care services) for breast cancer totaled $7 billion in 1990. That is just one-third the estimated indirect costs from the lost economic contribution of breast cancer patients, lost economic activities by the entire family, etc. Newer estimates are unavailable.
- The reduced number of deaths has lowered direct expenses and prevented the loss of survivors' future economic contributions.
- However, the lengthening period of breast cancer survival may increase the risk of adverse economic consequences due to reduced work effort, diminished earning capacity, and economic adjustments required of family members.
- Researchers believe wider screening and earlier diagnoses -- which have lowered the median age of breast cancer patients into the peak years of marketplace participation for women -- may have had a significant negative economic impact.
- Finally, research shows that individuals with chronic health conditions, which may include long-term breast cancer patients, are more likely to reduce work effort, earn less per hour, and experience household changes in work patterns that result in poorer work conditions.
Many papers claim to have found out-right discrimination against breast cancer survivors -- but the question is whether or not poorer work conditions, particularly reduced medical insurance coverage, is simply a result of diminished functional capabilities.

'Yes, you ahh. I was the deciding vote.' . My Vietnam vet guys had tears from their eyes the entire time they were walking. They didn't get that kind of response when they came home.feedback

It infuriates me to look at the veterans that I know, gay and straight, who have served this country with valor and honor and distinction, and just because you're a veteran who happens to be gay your service is somehow less than someone who is not of the LGBT community or someone who's not gay.feedback

Saturday at noon (Eastern) the Kentucky Wildcats (22-8, 12-5 SEC) head down to Gainesville to take on the #1 Florida Gators (28-2, 17-0 SEC). Florida is aiming to be the only team besides Kentucky to go unbeaten in SEC regular season play, and the first team to do it since the format went to 18 conference games. According to today's Coach Cal press conference, The Wildcats are looking to see where they're at against the best team in the nation on their floor. Last Vegas has spoken, with the better line opening up at Florida being favored by 8 points, but that line quickly moved to 9 points.
Interestingly, the Cats have never beaten the #1 team in a true road game environment. Will they make history tomorrow?

Hi, my first post here so please be gentle.
I have been using command line instance of WINSCP for approx 12mths now to download from the Paypal SFTP site, then I use SSIS to process the files and move them into an Archive sub folder.
My question is can I set the synchronise to check for the existence of the file in the Archive folder and if its not matched then download to the Parent folder for processing by SSIS?
Im currently using a simple get without using filemask at all and would rather using an intelligent sync if thats possible. We are reprocessing every file available every night that is available on the SFTP site and then removing data that isnt required as part of the ETL which I dont feel is the right way to do it.
I have looked through the documentation and have seen a number of posts suggesting its feasible just not how to actually do it.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

No you cannot do this.
But you can synchronize remote folder against archive folder and select the new files for processing (like moving them away to "to be processed" folder).
Somewhat similar task is described here:
Alternatively, you can use file mask with time constraint, e.g. to select only files created in the last 24 hours (or since the last sync).
You can post new topics in this forum
It is award-winning SFTP client, SCP client, FTPS client and FTP client integrated into one software program for file transfer to FTP server or secure SFTP server. [More]
And it's free!

As the dawn of 2013 marks the beginning of another revolution of our planet around the sun, let us draw our attention beyond the sphere of everyday life – beyond individual concerns, national issues, and even global concerns – towards the cosmic scale of affairs. Take this moment to consider the place of humanity in the grand scheme of the universe.
Nice article, Jonathan.
While I certainly agree with the spirit of your essay- that we need to think long-term about the human future and take steps towards it (I think NASA's Kepler mission to find habitable planets and our slow but steady moves in exploring the solar system are worthy investments in this direction) I am a little leery about us becoming over eager about things that are in all likely hood farther afield in terms of the human future and in the process failing to take our massive current problems- environmental degradation, the decline in agricultural production, inequality, demographic change, and the threat of global pandemics- to name just a few, which threaten what will likely be some time to come an exclusively earth bound existence.
I am especially skeptical about your statement:
"By the end of this century, humanity will have been transformed far in excess of the sum total of changes we have accumulated from the dawn of civilization until now."
I see no real empirical evidence for this. The technological difference between 2000 and 2013 is large, but can't really be considered qualitative. Almost everything, technologically speaking, that was around me in 2000 is basically the same now.
I've just added a smarter phone, a tablet, and a car with slightly more gas mileage.
I am excited about most of the technological changes on the horizon, but doubt that the world in which I was born (in the 1970s) will be as different for me should I reach the age of 90 than the world in which my grandmother was born (in 1913) before jet planes, rockets, space flight, television, computers is different from the world she lives in now at 90.
Change is more gradual than many who embrace the Singularity realize and that is a good thing, for it is the only pace which human societies can absorb.

|The use of bootstrap methods for estimating sample size and analysing health-related quality of life outcomes (particularly the SF-36)
|Walters, Stephen John

Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measures are becoming increasingly used in clinical trials and health services research, both as primary and secondary outcome measures. Investigators are now asking statisticians for advice on how to plan (e. g. sample size) and analyse studies using HRQoI_ outcomes. HRQoL outcomes like the SF-36 are usually measured on an ordinal scale. However, most investigators assume that there exists an underlying continuous latent variable that measures HRQoL, and that the actual measured outcomes (the ordered categories), reflect contiguous intervals along this continuum. The ordinal scaling of HRQoL measures means they tend to generate data that have discrete, bounded and skewed distributions. Thus, standard methods of analysis such as the t-test and linear regression that assume Normality and constant variance may not be appropriate. For this reason, non-parametric methods are often used to analyse HRQoL data. The bootstrap is one such computer intensive non-parametric method for estimating sample sizes and analysing data. From a review of the literature, I found five methods of estimating sample sizes for two-group cross-sectional comparisons of HRQoL outcomes. All five methods (amongst other factors) require the specification of an effect size, which varies according to the method of sample size estimation. The empirical effect sizes calculated from the various datasets suggested that large differences in HRQoL (as measured by the SF-36) between groups are unlikely, particularly from the RCT comparisons. Most of the observed effect sizes were mainly in the 'small' to 'moderate' range (0.2 to 0.5) using Cohen's (1988) criteria. I compared the power of various methods of sample size estimation for two-group cross-sectional study designs via bootstrap simulation. The results showed that under the location shift alternative hypothesis, conventional methods of sample size estimation performed well, particularly Whitehead's (1993) method. Whitehead's method is recommended if the HRQoL outcome has a limited number of discrete values (< 7) and/or the expected proportion of cases at either of the bounds is high. If a pilot dataset is readily available (to estimate the shape of the distribution) then bootstrap simulation may provide a more accurate and reliable estimate, than conventional methods. Finally, I used the bootstrap for hypothesis testing and the estimation of standard errors and confidence intervals for parameters, in four datasets (which illustrate the different aspects of study design). I then compared and contrasted the bootstrap with standard methods of analysing HRQoL outcomes as described in Fayers and Machin (2000). Overall, in the datasets studied with the SF-36 outcome the use of the bootstrap for estimating sample sizes and analysing HRQoL data appears to produce results similar to conventional statistical methods. Therefore, the results of this thesis suggest that bootstrap methods are not more appropriate for analysing HRQoL outcome data than standard methods. This result requires confirmation with other HRQoL outcome measures, interventions and populations.

Cobra Golf launch new Bio Cell Pro driverApril 29, 2014 Golf Equipment
The new driver from Cobra Golf has been in Rickie Fowler's bag for the past few months
Cobra Golf have released the latest driver in its Bio Cell range – the Bio Cell Pro Driver.
The driver was inspired by Rickie Fowler, who has been testing and playing the new product for the past few months.
The new club features a lower center of gravity designed to help golfers go long off the tee.
Adding to the tour-inspired family of clubs, the Bio Cell Pro Driver is engineered to deliver even more driving distance and workability.
The key to increased distance is the extremely low center of gravity that promotes faster ball speeds, lower spin and a higher launch.
The low CG combined with a compact 440cc head, allows golfers to achieve a better ball flight and longer shots off the tee.
This Pro Driver was designed for golfers with a strong swing that yields high launch and high spin The all-titanium, 440cc head delivers a solid feel at impact that better player's desire.
"This Pro Driver was designed for golfers with a strong swing that yields high launch and high spin," said Jose Miraflor, director of product marketing.
"To help these golfers play at their best, we created the BiO CELL Pro Driver, our lowest CG ever to deliver unmatched distance and performance."
In addition to the low CG, the Pro Driver also uses adjustable loft technology that allows golfers to choose from eight loft/trajectory settings (7.0°, 7.5°, 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.0° and three fade settings: 7.5°, 8.5° and 9.5°).
The Bio Cell Pro Driver is available in right handed models in regular, stiff and x-stiff, and features a Lamkin – ACE 3Gen 360 Grip along with a Matrix Red-Tie 6Q3 shaft.
Golfers can also choose from one of two custom shaft options at no upcharge – the Diamana D+ 72 or the PXV Tour 52.
The Bio Cell Pro Driver comes in three colour options—Black, Blue Aster and Vibrant Orange.
The Bio Cell Pro Driver joins the Bio Cell+ and Bio Cell as part of a complete Tour-inspired series.
Available: May 1 (in selected retail stores)

Moving into rented accommodation in the catchment area-when can I safely move back?(307 Posts)
I am thinking of renting a property in the catchment area of a secondary school. Once I have done this and my child is given a place (presuming everything has gone to plan and the catchment area has not all off the sudden become even smaller etc), how much longer do I need to live there before I can move safely back to our house outside the catchment area? As soon as I have filled in the application? As soon as my child is offered the place? As soon as my child has actually started in September? I actually called the LEA to ask this question and they were not sure. I asked a different LEA the same question about another school and they said that I could move out of the catchment area as soon as the application form was received! They seemed puzzled by my question though, understandably, and not sure if I trust their answer.
Now the councils are asking the question "is it your only address?" If you are answering yes and keeping your out of catchment house ( while living in rented accommodation in catchment area), this is a fraud.
If you have sold your house and then rented an accommodation in the catchment, that's your only address and you are entitled to a school place. I think it is works like this.
the pillars of society do it a hell of a lot more than your average Joe
No they don't. They may choose to live close to a good school but they don't use a false address. Hundreds, possibly thousands, of parents are caught doing this every year. Some will end up with the school they would have got had they used their genuine address. Some will end up with a worse school than they would have got, so they actually disadvantage their child by doing this.
very little they can do if you have a proper tenacncy agreement and council tax registerd
Rubbish, as people find out every year. Councils regularly catch people who have taken these precautions.
Some councils are better at catching fraudulent applications than others. In general the councils where there is a real problem with people using false addresses are best at catching fraud.
Anyone reading this is, of course, free to take James9669's advice. But you need to be aware that, even if you manage to get a place this way, your child could be thrown out of the school if the LA find out what you have done, and not only in the first term. Some people have had places withdrawn much later than this. You also need to be aware that, if you are found out, your child may end up at an even worse school than the one you would have got if you had been honest. Do you really want to take the risk?
It is dog eat dog - this is the world we live - get use to it - do what ever it takes for that school place
This is not new and the pillars of society do it a hell of a lot more than your average Joe, I say go for it but be aware you need to keep it until after the 1st school term has finished as moves in the 1st school term are investigated- every one on the high horse about how wrong it is - well I say it is wrong not to do everything in your power for kids future - most of them would do it if they had too trust me - not a sensible move calling the LEA thou you might be in there raydar - very little they can do if you have a proper tenacncy agreement and council tax registerd - it is sad another child losses a place but this time bomb had been caused by them not us we should not be held to ransom to a postcode lottery where schools can put 50k onto the price of a house in the area - good luck - be aware any siblings you want admitted under sibling rule often states if move you need to still remain within 2 miles - good luck
You only get to chose from the (limited) options given to you (max 3 these days, isn't it?) It's nothing like a free choice, and you could never be sure where any of those options would be. So not remotely plannable by the family themselves, not least because they have little to no input into what options they get. And there won't be funded moves unless the reasons for it are beyond the family's control.
And yes, you do have to move even if your DC is in exam run up. That's why CEA is paid so families have the option of boarding for any years where they think continuity is important.
The thing is meditrina, they do get to choose - they are given a number of choices, some of which are less attractive/suitable than others, and sometimes go for the less attractive/suitable option if it is in catchment of their preferred school. They do then move.
And they don't have to move every 2 to 3 years if one child is coming up to GCSE age. At that point, they ask the school to write a letter explaining that a move at this stage will be detrimental to the child's studies, and in that way, they can keep things stable.
"Or to accept military quarters which are smaller than your family needs in order to gain a place for one child in your preferred school, and then to move to a more suitable quarter, out of catchment, and thereafter use the sibling rule to get your other children in?"
Given that military families move on every 2-3 years, this is unlikely to be a major issue as most won't still be there by the time next sibling needs a a place.
Also, they don't get to choose where they are allocated their accommodation.
I am actually the admissions officer in a large state secondary school. Is it any less ethical to rent a house in the catchment of your preferred secondary school than it is to rent a house in the catchment of a particular primary school because it is a 'feeder' into the preferred secondary, and then to move back to your original home which is perhaps some 4 or 5 miles from said secondary, thus depriving someone who actually lives an awful lot closer to the secondary, but cannot get in because they do not attend a 'feeder'?
Is it any less ethical than it is to get a signature from your head of religion, be it priest, pastor, imam or otherwise, when you do not believe yourself, in order to gain a place for your child in your preferred school?
Or to accept military quarters which are smaller than your family needs in order to gain a place for one child in your preferred school, and then to move to a more suitable quarter, out of catchment, and thereafter use the sibling rule to get your other children in?
These things happen all the time. There are myriad ways to circumvent the system, and often the admissions team have no real way of checking. We cannot work on rumour and hearsay and even if other parents subtly try to grass up the offending parents, there is no real way to prove that someone has moved into catchment specifically for the purpose of gaining a place at a school, even when they telephone a month or so after offer date to say that they have moved house, oh and interestingly, it's quite some way out of catchment! It's a done deal by then.
I have thought and thought how to make it 'fair', but aside from dropping the 'feeder' school system, we'd be back to distance from school as the crow flies, and you'd still get people moving as close as possible just for the application process and then moving back out again. It would be discriminatory to specify a minimum residency in catchment of, say, two years, because then how to deal with children moving in and out of care, or military families, or refugees. So we are stuck as we are.
Of course, none of this would be quite as emotive if school places were not so over-subscribed in certain areas. If everyone who wanted a place stood a good chance, then people wouldn't resort to the trickery described above!
"In too many cases, the schools offering a poorer standard of education and support to our youngsters are situated in the financially poorer areas of the country - as a former teacher myself, I simply don't believe that one should follow the other. "
I'm not sure I agree. It's a cultural thing.
Go to, oh, I don't know, a poor part of Mumbai, or Soweto, and set up a free school as well resourced as even the least successful UK state primary, and the children would THRIVE. That's because in other cultures all most children need to succeed educationally is properly trained teachers, well equipped schools, and access to decent learning materials. The other part of the equation: burning ambition, a belief in the importance of hard work, and parents who are desperate for their child to succeed academically are already in place.
Not so in the UK. We have a culture of low aspiration among some sectors in the UK where there is a fundamental disrespect for education and widespread lack of engagement, regardless of how hard the teachers work or how good they are at their job.
Indiatherene: "ourhomein so you've just joined MN to revive a 3 yo Zombie thread. Why?"
My first answer is why does it matter? I've spotted something that I feel very strongly about and wish to comment.
The matter is still just as relevant today as it was 3 years back.
It is particularly relevant to me at the moment as I'm in the same position, confronted by a very uneven and fragmented system whilst trying to find my child a school place. It wasn't relevant to me 3 years ago. It is now.
Also, I'd heard Mumsnet was a place where people share ideas openly and support each other and was quite surprised at the anger and negativity directed towards the Original Poster.
Minifingerz: "Would add that anyone can fake religious commitment, but only m/c parents can easily rent or buy houses temporarily in catchments. I belief in equal opportunity cheating!" I take your point and it's well made, and I think this backs mine up, actually: the state education system is meant to be for the benefit of all, but as clarinsgirl points out, it is only the wealthier who tend to stand up to the system, even if this is by cheating their way through it. So it follows that the wealthy are ultimately favoured. All of this said, I still feel 'fraud' and 'arrogance' are very strong terms to use for the actions of parents desperate to give their kids the same chance as people living elsewhere. The original post might have been clumsily worded, but as swingofthings points out, the one brave or foolish enough to stand up and be counted is the one at the receiving end of the rotten tomatoes, where many thousands get on with it quietly and behind the scenes.
Drinkstoomuchcoffee: I very much like the banding idea too: it does seem to return some justice to the selection process.
It strikes me that a succession of British governments have caused the schools system to fragment into a bewildering array of different types of school leading to a far less accessible set-up for the majority. In too many cases, the schools offering a poorer standard of education and support to our youngsters are situated in the financially poorer areas of the country - as a former teacher myself, I simply don't believe that one should follow the other. It is perfectly possible to inspire disadvantaged youngsters to find the greatness in themselves, not necessarily by putting all your focus on historical literature or academia like the previous education secretary was particularly keen to do at the expense of practical, field or vocational studies that can electrify young people of all backgrounds. Anyway, this is digressing a little.
Education should be open to, and inspire, all. Until it does this, it is failing.
Thanks for all your comments.
Counting clouds you really think that parents are not responsible for education as well. Of course they are. They are responsible for socialising their child so that they are able to learn and allow others to learn in the class. You have them under your wings way before schools do. Surely!!!!
What OP is doing is happening in most areas in this country. The difference is that OP is opened about it when most others keep it quiet, or make up a story to justify their intentions.
In my previous area, the difference between the local secondary school and the two religiously affiliated ones were massive. It wasn't a case of the local comprehensive being ok and the others fantastic, but a case of the local being under remedial measures and in total disarray. Considering the fact that local primary schools were achieving quite well, it is no surprise that so many parents got very anxious at the prospect of their kids seeing their ability/enthusiasm to study go down the pants.
So yes, it's amazing how many re-discovered faith in year 4/5. It was laughable really how they tried to justify it when everybody (especially those doing the same) knew it was only for the purpose of gaining a place at the other schools. However, I could understand their desperation.
I personally get more annoyed with parents who will do anything so that their perfect, worthier child can get into a selective top school when the local one is absolutely fine just because they are persuaded that little Johnny deserves it more than anyone else.
"Hypocrisy at its best."
Hypocrisy at its best is when people say they support equality of opportunity, and then send their child to a private school which takes NO poor low ability children at all. Which is basically 100% of all private schools.
Given that 99.9% of non-selective state schools take children from the most disadvantaged groups (ie low ability children from unsupportive and dysfunctional families) where as 100% of mainstream private schools exclude this type of student I don't think they in any way comparable when it comes to fairness.
"who get their DCs into the most sought after state schools in London -( Blair, Clegg - London Oratory, Cameron - Greycoats) - because they would not "go private". Wonder why you never see any politicians DCs at the less sought after London schools. I have far more respect for Diane Abbott!"
Absolutely NONE of those politicians you mention has made an open commitment to only use state schools!
@schools madness: It's a bit like our politicians - of all parties- who get their DCs into the most sought after state schools in London -( Blair, Clegg - London Oratory, Cameron - Greycoats) - because they would not "go private". Wonder why you never see any politicians DCs at the less sought after London schools. I have far more respect for Diane Abbott!
This thread reminds me of a very "liberal" family we were acquainted with - very wealthy but "morally opposed to private education" because they wanted their daughter to have friends from various socio-economic backgrounds - you know - to give her the "right perspective in life". So while fixing up their very lovely spacious new home in a more central but less than stellar catchment, they rented a small flat on the same street as the most oversubscribed school in the area. Worked out perfectly for them in the end - their kiddo is happy as a clam at the lovely school and they feel good about supporting their socialist beliefs and not succumbing to private education - lest the elitism rub off on their offspring.
Hypocrisy at its best.
ourhomein so you've just joined MN to revive a 3 yo Zombie thread. Why?
Be careful. If you own another property most councils will count the property you own as your actual address, no matter where you are renting.
In my opinion the whole schools admissions process is unfair. Admission on the basis of religion is just wrong, it's discrimination and is tolerated in no other walk of life. The rest of the system favours the wealthy and those educated and confident enough to tackle the system. What we need is an education system where the resources are distributed fairly and all schools are good (if only)
In the meantime however, it's what we've got and committing fraud to secure your preferred place is just wrong. The kind of arrogance shown by the OP is astounding. If you don't meet the admission criteria then you need to choose another school or move permanently to the catchment. You shouldn't need a bunch of strangers on the Internet to point this out.
Would add that anyone can fake religious commitment, but only m/c parents can easily rent or buy houses temporarily in catchments.
I belief in equal opportunity cheating!
"If the education system was working properly, wherever you lived, you would know that there was a suitable school nearby that was going to do right by your child"
Really - not so.
Schools may end up at the top or bottom of the league tables, and be more or less desirable on the strength of their intake above all else.
Also, VA schools are schools owned by the religion, which are currently operated as part of the wider maintained sector. They are not state-owned schools.
So to remove them from the maintained sector and replace them with state-owned schools is do-able, but I doubt affordable right now.
I think the only fair solution to this problem is banding - which is now being introduced in bigger cities. All students take a test in Y6 - and each school takes 20% of students in each band. This tends to equate to at least 20% of advantaged students in each school and no more than 20% disadvantaged. After a couple of years all schools in the area have a similar intake and fair comparisons can then be made between them. There are no more wonderful schools and no more swervable schools.
I am strongly in favour of this at primary too - maybe based on family income. More logistics problems at this age perhaps - but no worse than those already faced by some families.
I've only just stumbled on this thread and I'm totally amazed at the level of anger expressed towards Enlondon for their original post.
Hers is no worse than all the other forms of deception people are forced by an unfair education system to use to secure a place for their child, not least lying about being a church-goer, which strikes me as far more heinous a crime.
The fact is that none of us should be forced to jump through such hoops.
If the education system was working properly, wherever you lived, you would know that there was a suitable school nearby that was going to do right by your child. We are all subject to the same taxation system that funds education, so why should we suffer if we happen to live in an area where the school isn't up to scratch or isn't right for our child in another way, such as putting in place a stipulation that they have to have been baptised under a certain religious denomination within minutes of their birth or else they don't qualify. EVEN THOUGH the given school is publicly funded, paid for by money from each and every one of our pockets.
Frankly, the whole catchment area system is failing and is creating a situation that stands in total contradiction of the principle behind comprehensive education. Those that are lucky enough to live in the right area, often the wealthiest areas or those with a particular religious affiliation - these are the cats that get the cream. That is plainly wrong.
In the absence of a particular government having the courage and the principle to set up a better system once and for all, I hold no grudge against anyone wishing to play the system as the lady who started this thread - and many others - are sadly obliged to do.
This comes up every year, so posting for anyone reading.
Yes, it is unethical. You harm another family directly by trying to benefit your own family. It also undermines community cohesion by having schoolmates not live nearby, and it harms the environment as larger distances need to be travelled.
But really, it is wrong because you hurt someone directly for your own child's interests. Caring for your child is not an excuse to directly hurt another child and take from that child what you want for your child. Period.
And to those who say 'but everyone is doing it' or 'likely to take a spot from another renting family' - That is an attempt to justify your situation and downplay your ethical dilemma - its a natural response to your cognitive dissonance - you don't want to think of yoruself as a bad person. But it is not true, an it is not helpful.
Not everyone is doing it. Some of us beleive in respecting our neighbours and others and won't directly hurt them to benefit our own kids. And what kind of moral code do you follow anyway if you truely believe that if many peopel do something unethical then its OK for you to do so as well?
It is also incredibly unlikely that you take the spot of another strategic renter. Less than half of the spaces will be taken up by strategic renters we can guess. And those renters won't be renting on the edge of the catchment, they'll rent as close as possible to be certain. You will take a place from someone on the edge who likely has been living there a lot longer and deserves the spot.
Its worse though - you are likely to be able to afford private school, or to move to another community altogether where schools are more to your liking. The person you take this space from probably can't. So you likely give them fewer options than you have by doing this to them.
So not only are you taking from someone what they should have because you want it for your kid, but you leave them with fewer options than you would have if they are not as wealthy as you (most likely the case).
The statement above that it 'might not be in the spirit of the law' but is legal is damning - if you admit it is not in the spirit of the law then you are admitting it is unethical and wrong. Yes you can get away with it in some places. But please admit you are being unethical and hurting someone - stop denying it or making excuses like 'its ok if its for my child'. Its not OK to take something away from someone else if it is for your child. Please recognise that.

where in sioux falls would you recomend to go to listen to music, have a drink and dance???
where in sioux falls would you recomend to go to listen to music, have a drink and dance???
I am not a good person to answer this question as I have younger kids and those days are far behind. Unfortunately, there are few eastern SD locals who post on here, so my answer might be the only one you receive.
I cannot recommend a specific place. You could head downtown to Phillips Avenue. This is kind of the main drag of the downtown area. There are lots of bars and restaurants on Phillips. You could park and stroll along there until you find something that interests you. I know the best- known nightclub ( The Vault) has just closed, so be aware of that if you do a google search and that pops up. There is also a place called Club David, but I have not been there, so I can't comment on it.
Hopefully someone else will come on here and surprise us with good information. Sorry I am not much help.
Hi 3174,
Sorry we just saw this! There a quite a few places for night life depending on what you are interested in.
Downtown is a great place to go. There are great eateries and several local bars to choose from including a Paramount Piano Bar, JL Beers Hamburger/Beer Stop, Stogeez Cigar Bar, Wileys Tavern with live music and dancing, Monk's House of Ale Repute (names one of the top 100 bars for selection) and several other places.
Other spots around town that bring in some good entertainment/drink specials and crowds are Bracco, Woody's, Krav'n, Liebrary, Borrowed Bucks, 18th Amendment, Boonies and the Attic to name a few.
In my honest opinion, the night life in Sioux Falls is not great. As VisitSiouxFalls mentioned, there are some really great stops downtown if you are heading that way, but Sioux Falls is definitely not a "nightlife" town. You won't find any big dance clubs or anything like in Minneapolis/Chicago/etc, but definitely check out downtown if you want a fun place to stop.

Wine is not tea—there are no leaves at the bottom of a glass that can predict the future. But it is possible to look at how wine sales have changed in the past decade and at what America's youngest wine drinkers are buying in an attempt to forecast what's next. Here's what the sediment says.

"The food was absolutely amazingly delicious. It was like the angels sang when I tried everything."
"We really liked their hip and independent style. Honest. Creative. Conscientious. Fun. Competitively priced."
"If I could find some reason to get married again (to my same super awesome husband) I would just so FIG could cater it."
"People still tell us how our food was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding."
"Everything was immaculate and beautiful beginning to end."
"Everyone relished every bite. After the event I had so many people ask about the food. It was ideal."
"I (the bride) have TONS of allergies and am notoriously difficult to cook for. FIG made me the most delicious and allergy-free plate. It was honestly one of the first times I ate all my food (when not cooking for myself) in years!"
"They're a modern shop with good old-fashioned business manners."
"In the end, the food was exactly what we wanted—tasted great, looked great, and was very seasonable and fresh. They knew we were vegetarians and wanted to have a pretty low impact wedding and they took great strides to not have a lot of left overs, only use linens, season veggies, and just limit waste."
"Our wedding rocked and FIG was a huge part of that!"
"Molly and Justin are just really down to earth and so easy to work with. They always addressed my questions and concerns in a timely manner."
"The menu was gorgeous, and exactly what we wanted—built by a great variety of menus and options they gave us, and then also catered to specifically what we wanted."
"They worked with us to create a menu that was budget-friendly without sacrificing taste or presentation."
"They also were willing to do a custom cocktail (lavender gin + tonics) based on our own recipe!"
"The chefs for FIG are great and have exacting standards. All the food was perfect!"
"I think you know you have a good caterer when your meat and potatoes loving guy friends go on to tell you how much they not only loved their entrees but the salad, as well."
"I was a very untraditional bride in a market where everything was suited for the traditionalist. Molly and Justin had the vision and skill to pull off my wedding and make it an event people are still talking about today. It will go down in the annals of awesome weddings because of them."
"There is literally no one I wouldn't recommend FIG to. I would love to have many more chances to work with them and to eat the fare that they would create."(What does this mean?)

Everyone at LighterLife is unbelievably proud of colleague Maxine Holland, a member of our Quality Assurance Team, who bravely took part in the mighty London Marathon challenge on Sunday 22 April and completed the gruelling 26.2 miles in just 5 hours, 12 minutes and 28 seconds…far exceeding her expected finishing time!
A highlight for Maxine was passing TOWIE star James 'Arg' Argent at around the half way point…
'I was starting to flag and suddenly there was this huge crowd'
…that crowd was just the motivation Maxine needed, at that point in the race, to keep running.
Maxine chose to run for Children with Cancer, a non-government funded charity who rely solely on donations from the public to help them research and develop treatments for childhood cancers.
The charity had over 1,300 runners, although Maxine ran alone showing immense grit and determination, she says it was hugely motivating and uplifting when she passed other runners for Children with Cancer who all shouted words of encouragement and support.
Children with Cancer have hailed Maxine, and their other runners as heroes as indeed they are, Maxine alone has raised nearly £1,300 for the charity.
"It was definitely the toughest thing I have ever done – even after giving birth twice with only gas and air! It was an amazing and emotional experience and to be honest it still doesn't feel real!'
Maxine and LighterLife would like to thank our loyal LighterLife Facebook Community for all their kind words of encouragement and support!
Congratulations to Zoe and Rachelle for guessing Maxine's correct finishing time in our Facebook poll. A LighterLife Magazine is on its way to you.
If you'd like to know more about living a lighter life please visit the LighterLife website.

In his first serious tour of Nad al Sheba racecourse, Blue Burner worked six furlongs on Monday morning under exercise rider Amin Azar, getting the distance in 1:14 while preparing for Saturday's $6 million Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1).Fifth in the Grade I Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park behind Dubai World World Cup rival Harlan's Holiday on February 22, Blue Burner was purchased from owner-breeder George Steinbrenner's Kinsman Stable by the Fustok family's Buckram Oak Farm but will run in the colors of Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz."He worked pretty good. He finished strong," said Azar, who also is serving as trainer Bill Mott's assistant and is supervising Blue Burner in Dubai. Mott, who saddled Cigar to win the inaugural World Cup in 1996, will not make the trip from the United States to Dubai, Azar said.A four-year-old by French Deputy, Blue Burner has won four of nine career starts and earned $338,300 but has never won a stakes race. However, he has raced in Grade 1 company in five of his last six starts, finishing second to Harlan's Holiday in last year's Florida Derby (gr. I) and third behind Booklet and Harlan's Holiday in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. I).Blue Burner was sidelined by a knee injury for the remainder of 2002 after finishing 11th in the Kentucky Derby (gr. I). He returned to racing with a Gulfstream allowance victory on January 25.Following the World Cup, Blue Burner will be transferred from Mott to Prince Abdullah's trainer, Kevin McAuliffe, who will send out Grade 3 winner Grundlefoot in the world's richest race. McAuliffe said Blue Burner will be shipped to Saudi Arabia to continue his racing career.Other American-based horses who visited Nad al Sheba on Monday included:* Cayoke (Fr), who breezed five furlongs in 1:00.77. Daniel Drouet, who is assisting trainer Julio Canani, said the Godolphin Mile contender cooled out well following the workout and appears to be improving.
