The Overlooked Alternative To Improve Survival In Chronic Kidney Disease Patients On Dialysis/
Growing numbers of people with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) are choosing to receive four to six dialysis treatments per week overnight at dialysis centers or at home. One 2013 study mentioned that thrice weekly maintenance Hemodialysis (HD) was associated with, "An extremely high morbidity (disorder)," a "relatively low quality of life" due in part to a high level of dependence and unemployment; and a lower survival rate.

The most common causes for death in people with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) are not directly related to the disease itself. Instead, the most common causes of death are Cardiovascular (heart) events, particularly sudden death and severe congestive heart failure (Cardiomyopathy).

Emerging evidence is suggesting that sudden death in a person with ESRD is most commonly caused by fatal heart rhythms originating from thickened and scarred tissue in the wall of the heart's major pumping chamber (left ventricle). This scar tissue in the heart is associated with weakening the heart muscle, leading to chronic congestive heart failure. Also, associated with heart failure is liquid volume overload which occurs in people with CKD and worsens as the disease progresses.

While numerous studies support the fact that conventional dialysis improves heart abnormality in approximately 50% of people, it worsens the scarring and thickening of the heart tissue in approximately 30% of standard dialysis users. Those people who had worsening left ventricular thickening and scarring also had a poorer survival rate. In direct contrast, almost 90% of people who conduct Nocturnal Dialysis show significant improvement in heart strength, reduction in Cardiovascular events, as well as higher survival.

Added benefits of Nocturnal Dialysis include improved phosphate control without any dietary restrictions or medications, and more liberal potassium and fluid intake. Further, Anemia improves without as much or any EPO, and blood pressure often improves to normal without medications or at least reduced dosages. With Nocturnal Dialysis, there are virtually no diet restrictions; a person's appetite tends to improve along with their strength and overall nutrition. When strength and appetite improve with fewer restrictions, quality of life usually improves as well.

Unanswered: Help with DTS Package
Hey guys,
I have a wierd problem.
I have a DTS Package that is scheduled to run every hour. My second step in the package is to check if a table has records in it. If it doesn't find records I made the task fail. When task is done I have 2 procedences coming out, on fail and on success. So if success it goes one way and does the rest of the tasks, if fail it goes the other way and does the rest of the tasks on that side.
PROBLEM: When it is scheduled to run, It fails all the time, but when I execute it manualy with the same data in the table it is succesfull. Why is this happening?
Here is the code for the check task that decides which way to go:
Const adOpenKeyset = 1
Const adLockOptimistic = 3
Function FindRec()
Dim objConn
Dim sql
Dim rs
Dim Success
Success = 0
sqlconn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=mysource; Initial Catalog=SA; User ID=user; password=userpass;"
Set objConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open sqlconn
sql = "SELECT NAM FROM tblUnassignedNAM "
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet")
rs.Open sql, objConn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
If rs.EOF = False Then
Success = 1
Set rs = Nothing
Success = 0
Set rs = Nothing
End If
Set objConn = Nothing
If Success = 1 Then
FindRec = DTSStepExecResult_Success
ElseIf Success = 0 Then
FindRec = DTSStepExecResult_Failure
End If
End Function

Hey bpolunin:
FIRST - I think the Conditional should be something like this...
If rs.EOF = False Then
Success = 1
Success = 0
End If
Set rs = Nothing
NEXT - Try using DTSTASK~ instead of DTSSTEP

Transactional leadership, a style which is form of management than leadership, is very effective in motivating and encouraging subordinates and obtaining productivity. This type of leader assumes that their subordinates are only motivated of rewards which will surrender authority and accomplish objectives and goals set by the leader.
Advantages of Transactional Leadership
1. Rewards and Incentives: This type of leadership functions on the system of giving rewards and incentives. People will be given remuneration once they accomplish task and the objectives given. The relationship of the leader and subordinates are plain transactional, many company or organizations uses this to encourage productivity. People under transactional leadership will get additional reward when they exceeded form the expectations and the leader will also handle and work on those people with low performance.
2. Structure is Clear: Subordinates under this leadership benefit a structured and clear system. They clearly know what is expected from them and the chain of commands. They know that when they completed task, follow objective and orders they will be rewarded of something which they find to be with great value. It's also clear to them that a negative consequence is always a result of not being obedient to the orders, this makes them motivated to constantly perform their best for them to reach the positive effect.
3. Short Term Goal: Under this leadership, objectives and goals were only short term which makes them less demoralizing but fulfill easier. Employees and subordinates were motivated by its fact that short term goals can be easily attained. This goal provides opportunity for the sense of autonomy or independence since there is a low need for the micromanagement. It's clearly understood by the employees what the company expected from them, they independently complete and accomplish the task at a hand.
4. Control Rewards: Most people cannot control job satisfaction under this leadership, but it's easy for them to settle on what value more. There are cases that the leaders and management gives their employees say or control on what type of reward they want once they completed the task. Incentives can come in a lot of form that ranges from points or financial gain which they can redeemed for a variety of process like an added time to accumulate a paid day off.
Disadvantages of Transactional Leadership
1. This type of leadership is flawed since it motivates people only on the base level. Punishment and reward does not motivate on the higher level of peoples thought and development. This type of leadership will only be effective on works were followers perform their task and processes, which well produced and designed dependably with strong good results.
2. This is poor when higher thinking skills level is needed to utilize. In this, creativity is very limited since its objectives and goals cannot be defined only with set of process.
3. This also limits its follower that wishes to engage with higher level of professional environment. Motivating is not effective this type of level, these followers is much motivated in unique individual way. The punishment and reward are very basic to a motivator of this level of subordinates.

What is it about Australia and its obsession with big things?
Yass Travel Blog› entry 3 of 9 › view all entries
Capital country, the Riverina and the Murray.
I don't know why, but if you drive for a few hundred kilometres in any direction in Australia, you will invariably bump into the biggest koala, lobster or sheep, or something to that effect.
The stretch of Hume Highway from Albury to Sydney seems to be a goldmine for this sort of thing.
Sydney boasts less rainy days than Melbourne yet somehow gets more rainfall. Crossing the Victorian-New South Wales border I half expected to find myself in some sort of promised land! But it was actually very barren. I found out later that one-third of New South Wales is well watered and generally green.
Our second day of driving, after a night camped by the Burrinjuck dam (which was so low it was mostly gravel), brought much the same kind of dry heat. It didn't help that the air-conditioning in our car was broken. We suffered the heat, dust and smoke cloud from nearby bush fires in the baking car. Summer in Australia. This was the way to do it. Shorts and singlets were in order!
In a way the dryness reminded me of north-east Victoria, the part of Australia that more and more I have come to love. North-east Victoria in the very least is what comes to mind when I think of Australia. The idea is vastly different to what most people conceive of Australia. From my travels I've gotten the idea that what most people think of when they imagine Australia is Surfer's Paradise, the Gold Coast, the Great Barrier Reef, Ayers Rock and the Australian outback.
For instance the Ettamogah Pub would be normal except that it has a car on top of it and looks like it came out of Disneyland. Next we made a quick stop in Holbrook which had a giant submarine in the ground, and of the big variety was the World's Biggest Merino (a sheep) in Goulburn.
But perhaps the most intruiging was what is known around Australia - rather famously - as the dog on the tuckerbox.
The iconic statue of a dog sitting on a tuckerbox lives in the town of Gundagai. The information centre's surrounds boasts a historic walk, which, is actually not much more than a well trodden path that goes in a forty foot circle and ends up back where it started. It did however have a number of sign boards that displayed old poems and little stories about Gundagai.
I don't know why it is exactly that this statue of a dog sitting on a box is so famous to Australians. The story goes that a man called Bill once got bogged five miles from Gundagai, had his main bullock run away, and then came home to find his dog had sat on his tuckerbox. Apparently all his mates laughed at him and now there is a statue to commemorate the occassion! What occassion, you say? Well, the line in the poem reads 'Then the dog s(h)at on the Tucker Box', which really makes a lot more sense. If he had just sat on it, (as most people know the story) it wouldn't have been half as big a deal! That he shat on it is a whole different story!

Deadliest Catch is a big hit around CrackBerry HQ, so when I saw a game of the same name pop up in BlackBerry App World I was very excited. I quickly downloaded it and was up and running. Deadliest Catch consists of various mini-games while you set sail to catch crab in the Bering Sea. Buy your boat, choose your crew & bait and off you go. You'll have to navigate to the crab grounds, fight off bad weather, drop your pots, haul your crab and more. Deadliest Catch is a cool strategy game that plays fairly well on BlackBerry. At times the controls were a bit shaky and over-sensitive, but I really enjoyed it for the most part. It is available on all devices in US and Canada and sells for $6.99 in BlackBerry App World.

Nice find!
Love that show, too bad AppWorld isn't available for us to use. I have my BaseBall App. still waiting on it for me that I paid 10 bucks for and I can not download it due to no AppWorld. The App to buy Apps isn't available. Very smart business by Rim. I get more pissed because I bought that BaseBall App to be able to listen to games while at work.
The screenshot with the triangular carat and the crab at the top of the screen looks like Star Trek for DOS back in the seventies.... or maybe Asteroids with a better image behind us.
Maybe even the infamous Lunar Lander, which Klaus Fluoride, bassist of the Dead Kennedys, taught me to play at the video arcade across the alley from Mabuhay Gardens.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) March 14, 2012 -- The plans that are being made to build the Community Stadium at Monks Cross which will serve as the home ground for the York City FC and the York City Knights League Club will bring more benefits to the city than many people realize. One, it is because the stadium will also feature a health center and library from which the two clubs can get medical attention and even showcase their memorabilia in the library. The fans of the two clubs can get the chance to view the matches in the new stadium much better and also learn about their clubs from the library that will be set.
The 20 million pound plan has been set and the York Council has already commissioned a report to be reviewed by the local authority before going ahead with the development. The ground on which the community stadium will be developed on is also part of a new shopping development which would have very many social and economic benefits for the city of York. Hotels in York will benefit from the attraction by the clubs when matches are scheduled to happen and visitors throng the city to enjoy them. This is because some guests will need to check into these hotels during such times and also other times when they are just visiting the city for attraction purposes.
The Community Stadium will be a 6,000 seater state of the art stadium that will provide the opportunity for both the York City FC and York City Knights fans a great opportunity to catch their favorite clubs play their matches. The developers of the property are also planning on introducing shuttle bus services which will be used to ferry fans and supporters from the rest of the city center to watch their matches in the stadium. The buses are also planned to travel near some of the city's hotels like the Blackpool hotels [http://www.lastminutehotelnews.com/] so that fans can be picked from wherever they are in case they are visitors to the City of York and they want to go to support their team.
The social economic benefits are too many and the city only stands to benefit just like other places where stadiums have been built hence attracting many visitors to the city who come to watch the games. Having the Community Stadium built will be the best thing for York City Football Club and York City Knights as well as the residents of the city. There will a Mark & Spencer and a John Lewis retail store which will economically boast the city. Another benefit is that there will be about 1,000 jobs created by this project as far as the development company says which will greatly boast the economy of York City as well.

The Floridian Sunset is the perfect blend of citrus, coconut, and a touch of cherry. It's smooth, cool, and refreshing any time of year.
One of the best things about living in Florida is the winter weather. It's mild, calm, and a great time to get out and enjoy the outdoors. The humidity is low and the temperature isn't too hot. Honestly, winter is my favorite time of year here.
The boys and I love going out to some of our favorite restaurants and sitting at a waterfront table to enjoy the view. I usually order one of those girly, tropical drinks with the pretty umbrellas. I also pay an arm and a leg for those cute tasty little things. Prices tend to be a bit inflated in tourists areas and my favorite adult beverages are no exception.
I decided it would be a good time to start making my own drinks at home. I figured it would save some money, and we haven't had much of an opportunity to get out of the house to any restaurants lately anyway. The weather has been pretty yucky this winter, so waterfront dining has been out of the question.
Lucky for me, John went to bartending school a few years ago, so we have a whole box of drink recipes that we've never made. I asked him for a simple, but tasty (and inexpensive) recipe to try and he gave me this one. The Floridian Sunset took less than 5 minutes to make and was surprisingly simple.
Let me be very clear, I cook. I don't bartend so you can imagine my delight when I was able to make this drink and actually enjoyed drinking it. I'm 100% confident if I can make it, so can you. It's super easy! 🙂
Here's how to do it. There are two different types you can make. My favorite is the kind with the pineapple juice.
Version with Pineapple Juice
I think it's easiest to make with a shaker but a jar with a tight lid would work just as well. I add an ounce of fresh squeezed orange juice and 3 ounces of pineapple juice to a shaker. Juice from the jar or carton will work fine. Then I add 2 ounces of coconut rum. If you're having a rough day 3 ounces wouldn't hurt!
Next, add some Maraschino cherry juice. I added 2-3 teaspoons to mine which gave it the dark red color, but you can add less if you like. Add a couple pieces of ice to the shaker, put on the lid, and shake away. Pour the mixture into the glass and add a cherry or two. There you have it. That's the pineapple version of a Floridian Sunset.
Version without Pineapple Juice
The version without the pineapple is very similar. Leave out the pineapple juice and use 4 ounces orange juice and 2 ounces coconut rum. Everything else is the same. Either way, this is a simple drink. It's refreshing, smooth, and full of citrus flavors. It brought a little summer to my rainy, nasty winter.
Want a different flavor of cocktail? We have a tasty Vodka Cranberry, Chambord Citrus Tonic, and Maple Old Fashioned.

When asked why he dresses this way, Daniel said; "My pastor always says dress well no matter the job you do, so I decided to wear a suit. Some laugh at me, others encourage me and are willing to help me"
He also added that, his dressing gives him an edge which helps him make 100% profit after sales.
"I make 100% profit. I think it is because of how I dress, people notice me easily and want to buy from me," Mr Nartey said.
Nartey sells watermelon during weekends and when the school is on vacation. He says he is saving up to buy an oven and wants to one day own his own snack bar.

USB ports (3.0) no longer working after Windows 7 Re-Install.
Before I begin sorry if this is in the wrong part of the forum, please direct me if this is the case or there is a similar thread. I have been looking online and although people have had similar situations I feel a tailored answer would be ideal if possible.
I purchased an Asus N56VM laptop around 7 months ago and recently had to reinstall windows due to an unrelated issue. Although this fixed the problem it presented a new one and now none of my USB ports (all USB 3.0) work. Here is a break down of information which there is a lot and some may be irrelevant, my apologies.
- Universal Serial Bus Controller on device manager has yellow triangle as well as "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Controller". Downloading the supposedly correct drivers from the ASUS website has not helped. Uninstalling the broken drivers and then reloading windows simply reinstalls the broken drivers.
- In the BIOS menu, there are numerous references to USB but none of USB 3.0. I'm not sure if this is a problem or not. All of the setting in BIOS related I have checked as "unlock".
- I have tried updating the chipset to see if that helps which also has no affect on the broken drivers.
- Unfortunately I am not sure of my motherboard although I have retained the original box but cannot find any mention of the motherboard on it.
In actuality I do not really need the USB ports to work as 3.0 ports. However at the moment even when plugging in a 2.0 mouse, nothing happens. The mouse does not light up, and none of its drivers even attempt to install. The mouse definitely works.
I am aware my computer is under warranty however this is a bit of a pain and would prefer a solution I can do myself.
I will provide more information and pictures if necessary at your request and pray someone can help me!
Thankyou in advance,

Hi there,
I'm not sure if I am installing the wrong drivers, I am getting them off the ASUS website for my model.

It won't be long now, a matter of hours actually, when I visit the Ville for the very last time. In honor of that occasion, it's only right that I devote the next couple of installments to the first time I ever set foot on those hallowed grounds.
I was probably 16 years old when Ed Thorpe (aka Max) began singing the praises of the place when he was both a gunfighter in the Ghost Town and a Palace performer in the days before the Showboat sailed into port. He asked if I wanted to come out and see what it was all about. At the time, Ed was staying out in the legendary trailer in the town's Gazette building on weekends. (Why was the trailer legendary? That's another topic
entirely. Let's just say that not all of the action in the Ghost Town took place out on Main Street.)
Anyway, I came out to visit on Saturday afternoon and got the two-bit tour of the place. I was completely fascinated that something like this existed in virtually the same town I had lived in my entire life, but never had set foot until that day. Ed was using the Gazette building to take olde tyme photographs that, as I recall, wasn't very lucrative. He probably made about two nickels and button the entire time. After awhile, the call of nature beckoned and Ed asked me to watch the place when he went off to the can.
While waiting for him, I heard slow, lumbering footsteps on the porch and the jingle-jangle of metal, not unlike Jacob Marley's Happy Christmas greeting to Ebeneezer Scrooge. Suddenly, the meanest son of a bitch I ever saw in my life appeared in the doorway. He wore a black hat, a sheriff's badge and a set of jail keys hanging over the butt of his pistol. He looked a lot like Richard Boone's pissed off brother while he stared at me with total contempt, as if he had once stepped in something that resembled me. He literally growled at me.
His voice shook the interior of that little shop and me right along with it. With a voice that sounded like I had just lost every hormone I had grown at that point in those formative years, I croaked, "He went to the bathroom....." at the same time I was doing the same right then and there. This mean old son of a bitch sneered at me and mercifully loped away, leaving me to quiver in fear like a chihuahua.
That was my first encounter with Sheriff John Hoffman, a man I eventually was proud to call my friend. Even then,he still scared the crap out of me, but at least I was on his good side and he wouldn't have shot me unless he felt I really deserved it..
Soon after I cleaned myself up, I sat front row center for my very first gunfight on Main Street. This was after the announcement over the PA system: "Folks, in about five minutes, there's going to be gunfight on Main Street just like in the days of yesterday. So if you take seats along the porches and general store, but stay off the streets because that's where all the action takes place. In about five minutes..."
THAT I believe is the verbatim spiel by none other than Gene "Fast Fester" (Don't you you mean FAT Fester?) Meechum, who was as close to a Smiley Burnette double as John was to Richard Boone. Gene even had the same dumb Burnette hat. The gunfight in question was the one and only SADDLE DROP, which I can also recite verbatim I'm sure. The cast was John, Fester, Ed as Fester's sidekick and Crazy George Lindstrom as Doctor Percival P. Hackemgood.
Sample dialogue:
Fester: I paid forty dollars for that saddle.
Sheriff: When…forty years ago?
Well...it wasn't Ibsen, but then again, Ibsen couldn't write a decent gunfight to save his life. Still, this cornball outdoor skit lit a spark in me, one that never went out. Sitting on that porch with splinters in my ass and a mouth full of peat dirt planted the seed right then and there for me. I knew I wanted to be a part of this place. I just had to be.
Little did I know what else was in store for me that day.

"This week, the U.S. Senate is getting ready to vote on a bill that would go a long way toward preventing gun violence and making our communities safer.That's because, in the wake of tragedies like the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, people like you spoke out to demand action from Congress," the email says. "We cannot let up on our senators — not when we've come this far. This Tuesday, April 16th, we're holding a National Call Day to make sure the voices of ordinary Americans are heard in this debate."
The next few days will be pivotal in the gun control debate. The Manchin-Toomey proposal is expected to come to a vote on Wednesday, representing gun-control advocates' best hope at expanding background checks. The moment also presents a key test for the pro-Obama group, which has sought to influence policy in the wake of the election.

Yes, I really like the lens. Step it down to F 11 and it's sharp. Construction seem very well done. The knobs are a bit small but you get used to it. Tilt and shift also work on independent basis as the Canon 24 TS lens. The only thing that is a bit disturbing is the distortion of the lens. I usually try to shoot a bit of a wider frame so I can crop the sides a bit to minimise the distortion. Price is also very interesting as it's around 750 eur where as the Nikon is close to 2000 eur. I have rented the nikon several times and it's very good but I could not justify the price when I bought my TS lens. Using the lens with a D750 is great as you can flip the screen of the nikon and use live view. Makes it really nice and easy. All of the shots in the link as well as the one I posted above were shot handheld ( I had brought my tripod but had left the base plate at home...duh...) Hope this helps. Cheers!

Many thanks Steen. Where I live in New Mexico, at an altitude of around 7000 feet, is as far south as Casablanca in Morocco. This year we saw the first cranes heading north about mid January. In another week or so the migration will be over at our location.
Here we have long summers and winters and fairly short springs and autumns weatherwise. Non native plants get fooled by that. Last year the apple trees were in full bloom in April when freezing temperatures and snow came briefly back. No apples that year on our trees. Native trees know better and wait until the cold days are really over.

While you are there Alex and perhaps heading east, do pay a visit to Benedetti in the Negrar Valley est of Lago di Garda, and buy one of their Amarone from 2009. You won't regret. Its not expensive, and its not such a fancy place like the Barolo district , but in mine opinion better.

Our monthly analysis of the energy market has unearthed the cheapest energy deals available, including three dual fuel tariffs that cost less than £1,000 per year.
This month, The Co-operative, First Utility and Extra Energy offer annual dual fuel tariffs that cost less £1,000.
The top five cheapest deals we've found are considerably cheaper than the standard tariffs offered by the 'Big Six' energy companies. You could save £216 by choosing The Co-operative Energy Fair and Square deal, compared with the priciest standard plan from the large suppliers.
To make sure you are getting the best energy deal, visit Which? Switch and compare energy prices, based on your energy usage.
Top five cheapest energy deals
All prices listed below are for dual fuel tariffs, paying by Monthly Direct Debit. They have been calculated using Ofgem average consumption figures of 13,500kWh for gas and 3,200kWh for electricity.
1. The Co-operative Energy: Fair and Square – £988.70
2. First Utility: iSave Fixed September 2015 – £992.48
3. Extra Energy: Fixed Price September 2015 v13 – £994.23
4. Green Star Energy: No Worries 12 Month Fixed Online – £1,009.30
5. Flow Energy: Thames Fixed Online September 2015 – £1,010.06
The above tariffs are all fixed for a minimum of 12 months from August 2014, so they offer long-term peace of mind. This means, however, that customers won't benefit from any price cuts while they are signed up. Exit fees may apply if you want to switch before the end of the 12 months.
Current standard tariffs from the Big Six
Here are the standard tariffs from the Big Six suppliers:
1. Eon £1,159.50 (£171 more expensive than The Co-op)
2. EDF £1,163.60 (£175 more expensive)

|Taken Thursday on my way to Nasr City
A revolution is like Black Friday, known as the Friday after Thanksgiving that is a US retailer's biggest dream. On that day, American shops extend opening hours (often opening around 4 am) and see the largest figures produced for the entire year based on customers coming out en masse to kick off the holiday season.
So maybe Egypt's revolution isn't just like Black Friday. Hours have decreased because of curfew (the end of life as we know it – who knew I was still a teenager living under my parents' roof) and the shelves are less packed; nonetheless, there are some deals and steals going on (more steals than deals though as the population continues to spin out of control).
One of my favorite restaurants, Fuego's Sushi Bar & Grill, has introduced a 20% discount as a revolutionary congratulations. Unfortunately, their clientele was mostly foreign and in case you haven't heard the news, many were evacuated and have yet to return – in addition to those that will never return per company relocation. I wonder how difficult it will be for local international schools to recruit teachers for the next school year, but I digress. According to a GM at the restaurant, revenue has decreased substantially. Although there has been an uptick recently after this offer, the restaurant is still down approximately 35% in sales compared to pre-revolution days. However, who can beat 20% off on an already SLAMMIN all you can eat sushi dinner on Sundays?
Today I got a text message that said:
"Due to the incredible success of the Revolution Burger Meal Promotion, The Burger Kitchen now offers a brand new Revolution Chicken Meal for only 10LE."
A boutique near my apartment has a sign in the window for 70% off. I think it's safe to say that store isn't going to be around much longer (not to mention all the tops were already 350LE and ugly – I think 70% off on most of the items still doesn't cut it).
And what's even better is that employers are now using the revolution as an excuse to only pay their staff half a month's wages.
So, put your big girl panties on and prepare for this whopper:
It's understandable if your staff didn't work for two weeks to deduct that time from the salary. Moving out of Cairo and let's look at Hurghada, a resort city on the Red Sea that depends heavily on tourism. One of the major clubs there denied payment to all of its employees – foreign and Egyptian. A friend living in the area said, "You let them use that as an excuse one month without complaining, [then] there's no reason for them to change!" In a separate industry not related to tourism, my friend is also facing a boss that wants to only pay his staff half a month's wages.
The club (sorry, can't release the name) paid its employees only half their salaries for two months in a row simply saying they couldn't afford it because of the catastrophic decline in tourism. The owner said, "No tourists so no money to pay." Then the club owner's wife posted on her Facebook details about their evacuation to neighboring Sharm el-Sheikh via a PRIVATE LEAR JET. Since she was obviously dumb enough to post that on her Facebook, I'm assuming that she's dumb enough to have employees of the club on her friend list.
That is a bonefied steal my friends. As in get out while you can because they're going to rob you blind.
Another steal was seen today by a friend driving down Zahraa road:
A group of six men were stopping cars attempting to get the driver to smell their "perfume." As crime rate has increased, alerts are high. I think it's also safe to assume that might be another steal in the making and perfume isn't necessarily what you're going to smell, but some weird Egyptian homemade remedy of Knock You Out and Jack Your Car.

How to Tell Breast Cup Size just by Looking at Them
The measurement is done by measuring just below a girl's bust and then measuring around the largest part of the bust size where the nipples are. Subtract the two and each inch in size is a cup size in letters like A, B, C and so on. How do you tell just by looking at the boobs? A cup looks like lemons, B cup like the size of oranges, C cup like grapefruit, D cup like cantaloupe. If the boobs bounce when the girl walks around they are definitely C cup or higher.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe announced Friday that Black Hops Farm, LLC in Lucketts will initially convert 15 acres of former pasture land into a hopsyard and build a new processing facility, thus becoming the largest hopsyard in Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic's first commercial-scale hops production and processing facility.
The Commonwealth of Virginia is partnering with Loudoun County and Black Hops Farm on the project through the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund (AFID). The new Black Hops Farm facility will allow hops growers to harvest and process efficiently their hops for market.
Speaking at Black Hops Farm about Friday's announcement, Governor McAuliffe said, "I am pleased to announce that Virginia, thanks to this important investment by Black Hops Farm, will be home to the first commercial-scale hops processing operation in the Mid-Atlantic region. This is a significant win for the Commonwealth as it fills a critical need for current and future craft brewers and builds on my administration's efforts to increase Virginia's position in the fast growing craft beer industry."
The company, providing important hops processing services for the entire region, will invest about $1 million, create 11 new jobs in Loudoun County, and source more than 60 percent of their hops from Virginia over the next three years.
In supporting the AFID grant to Black Hops Farm, LLC, Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Vice-Chairman Shawn Williams said, "This state-of-the-art hops processing facility will sustain the quality and function of Loudoun-grown hops past the harvest season and will set Loudoun as a premier grower of hops on the East Coast. This type of agricultural business exactly fits the Board of Supervisors' Rural Economy Business Development Strategy, and will contribute to the economic vibrancy of Loudoun County."
Loudoun County Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer added, "The construction of this hops drying and pelletizing facility will support Loudoun's emerging farm brewery sector, and strengthen the link between the county's rural and urban economies. It will encourage more local entrepreneurs to grow hops, because having the ability to process them will expand the market for them. This is the catalyst that we need to increase agricultural production of hops in Loudoun County."

Ask me a questionPost a question to the QnA section by using the form below.
Q and A
Hey Stacey, I just read your story "My Date With Satan" for my creative writing class. I found it thoroughly enjoyable and commenced reading all your stories that are online.I'm broke as a joke, but am committed to purchasing one of your books immediately. Any advice as to which one should be my first priority? Or maybe I should just hold out for that pirate novel I've seen mentioned. What do you think? Thanks for the righteous stories.
Sorry Bob, I forgot about you. I am bad, bad, bad. Read Twin Study first. The pirate novel may be awhile.
Hey Stacey! Love your work! I'm doing an oral interpretation of your story "Rats Eat Cats" for Speech competition. I like to think of it as, instead of a slow descent into madness, a slow descent into sanity or at least a version of it for someone. Also about how inaction is actually an action. Would you agree? Do you have any suggestions or insight as to how to perform these characters how you intended them? Thanks! ^_^
Aw, you made a kitty face from punctuation marks! Actually Sophie, I kind of forget how that story goes but your interpretation is probably better than mine anyway. I like a slow descent into madness and I also like a slow descent into sanity. Is oral interpretation where you fake-read the dialogue of a story as though it's a play, angling your body to different corners of the room for each character? I bet it is...which means you're in high school! Awesome! I did speech in high school too, not because I like making speeches but because I hated my life/Phoenix/parents so much that I decided I had to do the most difficult, terrifying extracurricular activity to ensure I'd get into a college that was far, far away. Now I'm back in Arizona, calling my parents every other day to tell them I love them. Don't worry--I still hate them too. And this stinking, cowboy wasteland. But I also love it.
For the characters, one thing I recall is that the cat girl is also an art chick--one of those blue-haired horn-rimmed girls who wears perfume that smells like gasoline does things like making giant paper mache ovaries and taking a vow of silence for every Saturday in March. She has strong feelings but also looks at everything with an aesthetic eye, which means she's also ironic. Her weirdness is somewhat calculated. The rat boy, on the other hand, is truly, honestly weird, which is one of the things that makes him fascinating to her.
Hi Stacey, I'm passing through Tucson and I'm starving. Wanna have lunch?
Uh, was that yesterday? The answer is yes. If I could go back in time, I would have lunch with you yesterday.
As soon as I posted, I realized my university in Montana in the 90s was already an anachronism, and I was presumptuous to assume the modern academy would retain such contrivances. Another format bites the dust. The format of your Q&A here presents a type of authority that led me to imagine you as teacher, holding forth. You were profiled by two and a half pages of questions and answers. Any elaborate presentations of fantasies projected by you would certainly count. I imagine the scroll of your fiction at reading pace writ large in Times Square would gain more attention than any ad for . There's a grant for that somewhere. //took break and read The Chair of Rejection// Well okay, maybe no grant, but I will purchase your Twin Study from the Amazons, consider your website a marketing success. As a followup, if you had a Jenny Holzer projection with Twitter-length restriction, what would your message be and where would you want it?
Thank you for thinking of me as holding forth. I try to think of myself that way too. Your question is really hard. But I guess if I could really say anything and put it anywhere, I'd beam the words: "That lady is your mommy and you love her. Jump into her lap and purr madly. #felinemindfuck" into the brain of my cat.
Hi, Stacey. Thinking of you today-- I just bought pressurized air to clean my computer and my car and maybe the dogs and thought of that girl from Intervention. What was her name? And watched Sir Patrick on Hoarders. Have you seen that one? I think his place looked better BEFORE. Thanks.
Alison! Yes, yes, I love her so much. She's all better now. Which is, uh...good, right? I would never say it wasn't good. She seems nice as a sober person but when she was high, she was spectacular. I haven't watched Sir Patrick yet but I've been hoarding Hoarders on TiVo and can't wait. My favorite hoarder so far is Glen, the real-man rat-man. Have you met Glen? He let his house fill up with rats, entirely full, because he loves them with all his heart. He tries to hold in the pain of losing his favorite little buddy but fails--he can't, he can't, the feelings are too strong! That episode also has great moments from my other favorite: the mean, insane Dr. Robin Zasio. That chick is fucking awesome. I'm going to guess that she's the only OCD therapist alive with a personal style inspired by Cher. Not only does she do her own makeup (orange base with a special high-clump mascara on her lower lashes) and wear bell bottom capris, she also says things like: "How did it feel when you found your wife dead in the car?" (Bill sputters: "It hurt like hell."). Once, as a woman told her about her childhood sexual abuse, then crumpled into her arms, Zasio said: "We don't have time to deal with this right now. Let's try to set it aside." Ha ha ha! Yes yes yes! Why not just never talk about it again? Plus she's "obligated" to call CPS on everyone.
I'd be interested to learn the technique of using compressed air to clean a dog.
Do you have a preferred blackboard surface? Could you compare the vertical writing surfaces of three institutions? Have you ever had a truly superior blackboard experience, one you might describe as dreamy? What's your earliest memory of writing large enough to be seen publicly? What's your handwriting like?
I don't know. I'm not sure I've ever even written on a blackboard once. But I fantasize about elaborate presentations I'd like to do someday with an overhead projector. Does that count?
Ms. Richter, are you aware of the advice columnist "Sugar" who is featured at the online mag The Rumpus? Don't you think that something along those lines would be a great gig and a natural fit for you?
No, I didn't know about Sugar. I just read a couple of her keening, earnest columns and sort of want to kill her. She's so nice...but she cut off her father! Then she told another girl to cut off her father! Folks at home, don't do this--no, no. If someone asks, I'll explain why.
Pseud, thanks for thinking of me, though I have mixed feelings about the trend here of brainstorming a way for me to be professionally rewarded for this forum. I'm touched that you bother, particularly since it would mean less attention and fewer personal answers to all of you (both of you?). Maybe. But I don't really want to. I'm writing the pirate novel! Also, I'm pretty sure Sugar is making a dollar fifty a column, more or less, and there's nothing like low pay and a firm deadline to make me want to eat worms.
Hi Stacey! How has your summer been? Any progress on the Pirate novel?
Hi Tom. My summer's been okay, thanks for asking. A little progress on the pirate novel but mostly staring at it. Might start typing all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy for a while and see what happens.
Thank you.
Dear Stacey, This one's a doozy. My boyfriend is the perfect boyfriend, and I love him completely. Our relationship is perfect. Except for one thing. He's in the army, and so he has no control of his destiny. The government has all the say in that. And they're all "surprise!" we're sending you to Afghanistan for a year! We already did one of these deployments, to Iraq. And in the year in-between I've been deluding myself that somehow we can make a life and a family together. Also you should know that I love my career--it's promising, and fulfilling, and tied to one city. And I really really want to have kids. And it seems like all three of these things--him, career, family--cannot possibly co-exist. At the bare minimum, I'd have to give up my career, and raise his children alone every-other-year, while he gets jerked around to whatever shitty, pointless war we're fighting then. We survived one deployment together, and it took all the strength I had. The thought of doing it again is just overwhelmingly exhausting and depressing--I don't know how Army Wives do it! I think believing in God and America (neither of which I do) must help. Alternately, I could keep him, keep my career, do the long-distance thing forever, and give up on having a family. But no, I really, really want that! More than either of the others, maybe. I want fat, toddling babies that I can pontificate to all day long. What the hell do I do, Stacey? Did I mention that I love him! I fucking love him! He's fucking perfect in every way, okay?! Except that he loves the fucking stupid fucking army! AHHHHHHH and I don't want to be that bitch that makes him choose between me and the army. But I'm almost there, Stacey. I'm almost ready to bring it down to that. To an ultimatum. Huh. Like any good life together ever started with an ultimatum. I just can't figure out a way for us to be together without one of us being miserable. Being without him would be even more miserable. He is 100% my favorite person in the world, and the only person who can make me smile after a long, shitty day.
Everyone else around me gets to sleep next to their husband every night, and they're all having beautiful, precocious babies, and I'm so fucking jealous. I'm just trapped. Any way I go will fucking suck. Fuck. Help me, Stacey.
That's easy. You already know the answer: marry him, have the babies, do it now, don't wait. Your relationship may suck in several ways but it's more than most people ever have and you're lucky to have it. And you're not trapped--I doubt that your Army man thinks of you as trapped--you're just in a situation where you're never, ever going to get everything you want. I'm disgusted to sound like your fourth-grade teacher, but honestly, in life, there's really no chance of actually getting everything you want. You can nurse a dream of it, and fight for it, but those are fairy tale dreams rather than real goals. Even when it looks like other people's fairy tale dreams have come true, they actually haven't (two words: Diana Spencer). If you're stuck on your dreams of a perfect future, consider this: it's common enough to find a man who will sleep next to you every night, but it's a rare thing to get a chance to marry your great love.
Here are a few things that might make you feel better: everyone does not get to sleep next to their husband every night and sometimes when they do, they don't want to. Life is long and people get sick of each other, even people who love each other deeply. There's something to be said for taking a break. I know a year is too long but it might help the two of you cherish the time you have together in a way that bored, old couples don't even consider. Because eventually you will be a bored old couple. Also: Skype. And: get him to give you something major, huge, and painful. Put your foot down. He has to give you something if you give him this, otherwise you'll be tormented by resentment. This will erode your love. You can't be the only giver. Even though it may feel loving to be the main giver, eventually you will start to hate him, in ten minutes or ten years, so you can't do this. Got it? It can be money to help with childcare when he's away, all his extra money (because you don't want to be raising the babies all alone), or a promise to quit the Army by the birth of child two, or to stay home a year with the babies himself in the future. He wants a good family life too, right? He's going to have to work for it at some point, to give something up, even the Army. In five years, six--is there any amount of time that seems reasonable to him? (Don't wait for the babies to look and him and cry, hoping that that will do it. Because if it doesn't, you'll be extremely angry). Get him to make a plan now.
If he really won't give up the Army, ever ever, figure out if there's anything else that will satisfy you. (Also, please remind him that no one is going to love him forever if he always calls the shots unilaterally--no one loves a tyrant. Except his dog). Maybe you could have a non-monogamy clause for you, just you. You get to have a boyfriend on the side and he doesn't get to, ha ha ha. A diamond ring every year. Or, my favorite, you let him be in the Army if he says yes to you about everything else. Honey, want to take a walk? Yes. Want to change the baby's diapers? Yes. Want to go to the Katy Perry concert? Yes. Oh, we forgot milk. Will you go back to the store for it? Yes, yes, yes.
