To save money, yes, as long as there is not a penalty for paying off early. Look at your loan paperwork.
For credit scores, closing the accounts would probably hurt your credit, but it depends most on how many other open accounts that you currently have.

I'd like to use Truecrypt (.org) as well as WinSCP on a WinXP machine. My private key for the login to a server is located within a mounted drive, the "container" with the encrypted files is located in my personal files folder. Now, after I put the key into the container and added it via pageant to the computer memory, I get an error message every time I login to a server using my private key. It's in German, roughly translating to
"File 'C:/mypersonalfolder/myprivatekey.ppk' doesn't exist or doesn't contain a private key in a known format.
abort | ignore | help"
I can ignore the message and just continue, but the popup is a nag... is there a way to get around it? (I'll add my correspondent posting in the truecrypt.org forum later)

In "Walk On the Wild Side", Cadpig states that she got a thesaurus for Christmas, but we find out already in "A Christmas Cruella" that she only got a chew toy.
(Editor's Note: She was probably not referring to that specific Christmas.)
When the main pups were in the van, all three of them were shown looking out of the window of the back door. It shouldn't be possible for them to do that unless they stacked up on one another, and doing that would only permit one of them to look out the window.
Rolly: All this aimless walking really takes it out of you. I am dying for a snack.
Rolly: When will people learn...
Cadpig: that couping out dogs is inhumane...
Lucky: and not to mention illegal?
Jasper: You're all staying in here until the doggy show is over!
Horace: And don't piddle! We're still making payments on this van!
Cadpig: Why don't we step outside for a little conflict resolution?
Vandella: We are outside.
Cadpig: Well, then. No need to wait.
Cruella: Jasper, Horace! You're going to the Grutely Dog Show.
Jasper: But, Horace isn't housebroken yet.
Horace: I prefer to say that I'm bladder challenged.
Rolly: What good is being a nice guy when people think you're a bonehead? Or a sucker? Or a...
Cadpig: Chump? Sap? Stooge? Patsy?
(the others glare at her)
Cadpig: I got a thesaurus for Christmas.
This episode marks the first appearance of Vandella.
Cruella's Memo: Next time, remember to bribe the judges.

TIGER Woods plodded along most of the day. He lipped out a putt from 1 metre. He settled for a bunch of pars. Then, with his final stroke, he looked like the Tiger of old.
Woods rolled in a 4.5-metre putt for birdie on Muirfield's tough closing hole on Friday, raising his putter toward the blue sky with a flourish, fully aware he was positioned again to break the longest major drought of his career.
Fun-loving Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez turned in another solid round, an even-par 71 that left him with a one-shot edge in the clubhouse. Right on his heels were Woods, Lee Westwood and Henrik Stenson, with a bunch of other guys - including first-round leader Zach Johnson - scrambling near the top of the leaderboard with holes still to play.
"It will be a fun weekend," Wood said. "This golf course is going to be difficult."
He finished with an even-par 71 that looked pretty good under the circumstances. This was another day for surviving the perilous, rock-hard setup, and Woods walked to the clubhouse just three shots behind first-round leader Zach Johnson, one of the last guys to tee off.
Not bad, considering Woods went through a stretch of 12 holes without a birdie before stealing one at the 18th.
"I was kind of fighting it," he said.
Everyone was.
Par was a good score, as Jimenez showed. The 49-year-old had a couple of birdies, a pair of bogeys and a whole bunch of pars.
"I'm playing very solid," he said. "In these conditions, it's not easy. With these pin positions, it's very, very tough to get in close."
Not that Jimenez is getting too worked up about it.
The cigar-smoking, wine-loving golfer nicknamed "The Mechanic" is perhaps best known outside Europe for his unique stretching routine before each round. He'll put his knees together and gyrate his hips in a rather ridiculous-looking motion - especially for a guy with a hefty belly and even heftier ponytail - then pull out a couple of clubs to help work his legs and arms, though none of it looks very strenuous.
But, as silly as he looks, this guy is all business on the course. He's already bounced back from missing four months recovering from a broken right leg sustained in a skiing accident. If he can keep it going through the weekend, he might take a run at Julius Boros, the oldest major champion in golf history when he won the PGA Championship at age 48.
"Why not?" Jimenez said. "There's two more rounds to go. You never know what's going to happen. I'm just going to have fun on the golf course. When I finish here, I'll have a glass of red wine later on. I'm just going to keep doing the same thing."
Lee Westwood was one of the few morning starters to put up a score in the 60s, but even he was staggering a bit by the end. After a brilliant front nine - he carded five birdies - the 40-year-old Englishman bogeyed three of the last six holes to finish with a 68.
Still, he joined Woods and Henrik Stenson at 2-under 140 overall, solidly in contention for his first major title. The last English golfer to win the British Open was Nick Faldo in 1992.
"Why not enjoy it out there?" Westwood said. "It's tough for everybody. So smile your way through."
Woods is trying to break a drought of his own. He's 0-for-16 at majors since the 2008 US Open, and missed four others during that stretch recovering from injuries.
Whoever wins this one will have to earn it. While the weather has been unseasonably warm and dry, the fearsome wind more of a gentle breeze, there weren't many chances for going low.
Not on a tabletop of a course that is more brown than green, with pin conditions that some players complained were downright unfair.
As expected, the conditions toughened in the afternoon as the bright sun firmed up the greens even more. Johnson bogeyed three of the first six holes.
Phil Mickelson drove into a bunker at the second and took a double-bogey. Brandt Snedeker doubled the 10th. Rafael Cabrera-Bello did the same at the 14th. At one point, there was a four-way tie for the lead with Johnson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, two-time major champion Angel Cabrera and long-hitting American Dustin Johnson.
The morning was tough for Mark O'Meara, the 1998 Open champion who opened with a surprising 67 that left him one stroke behind Johnson. The course bit back Friday, sending the 56-year-old plunging out of contention. He lost his ball at No. 6, leading to a double-bogey, and stumbled to the finish with a 78.
"It's pretty simple: If you don't hit it good in an Open championship with the rough the way it is out there, you're going to make some bogeys," O'Meara said. "The short game is key. You have to putt well. I did none of those well."
O'Meara wasn't the only old-timer to fall back. Fifty-four-year-old Tom Lehman followed a 68 Thursday with a 77 less than 24 hours later.
The young weren't spared, either.
Jordan Spieth, the 19-year-old who last weekend became the PGA Tour's youngest winner since 1931, made only two bogeys through his first 32 holes and was 3 under. Then came a double-bogey at the 15th, back-to-back bogeys at the next two holes, and a missed chance at No. 18 when a 4-footer for birdie slid by the cup.
Just like that, the youngster found himself at 1-over 143.
Spieth conceded that he got a little bored making all those pars.
"Yesterday, I was for some reason extremely patient with just taking my 30-footers and just trying to give myself tap-ins and not worrying about making birdies," he said. "Today I finally got to a point where I had enough and wanted to really hit it closer. And that's what happens when you try."
Darren Clarke, the surprise Open champion in 2011 but mostly an afterthought since then, had no trouble making birdies on the front side. He rolled in four of them. Unfortunately for him, all that good work was wiped out by one bad hole - a quadruple-bogey 8 at the sixth. He finished with a 71 and also was at 143.
Zach Johnson had not been atop the leaderboard at any major since he rallied to win the Masters six years ago. He took advantage of kinder conditions on Thursday morning to shoot a 66, helped along by a 14-metre eagle putt. But, after making only one bogey in the opening round, he started to find trouble lurking around every pot bunker, the course hardening in weather that looked more like Southern California than Scotland.
Not far from the course, swimmers frolicked in the Firth of Forth, taking advantage of the northern edge of a heat wave sweeping the British Isles.
Rory McIlroy can go swimming this weekend if he likes.
He struggled to a 79 in the opening round, and kept going in the wrong direction by playing the first seven holes at 4 over - including his third double-bogey of the tournament. The former No. 1 player in the world has been in a baffling slump since his runaway victory at last year's PGA Championship, and a 12-over total assured he won't be back on Saturday.
Ditto for Luke Donald, who also spent time at the top of the world rankings. He followed a dismal 80 in the opening round with a mediocre 73, leaving him with a 10-over score that had no chance of making the cut.

It seems just a few weeks ago that Telus' Darren Entwistle, and BCE's Michael Sabia announced that they would be converting both their companies into income trusts. Share prices soared at the prospect. Income trusts, for those who don't know, pay out the majority of their profits, with tax favorable treament, to unit holders. Designed for business which have no need to invest in future products or technologies, they are best suited for distributing profits of commodities businesses like oil pipelines.
What in the world were the captains of the Canadian communications industry thinking when they announced that the two largest telephone companies in the country would become income trusts; that they would pay out the majority of their profits rather than investing in the future, at a time when the future has never been brighter for this industry? Was it nothing more than a cynical manipulation of stock prices? Or was it an admission that these businesses are unlikely to be able to compete with the new telecom? Either way, it was a singularly visionless act by both parties — a tacit declaration that they have no plan for the future.
Whatever happened to building shareholder value, for goodness sake?
As they say, you can run, but you can't hide. Tuesday, finance minister Jim Flaherty gave them a solid boot in the seat of the pants, announcing that the government would begin taxing trusts.
My suggestion to Darren and Michael? Call my friend and fellow blogger Martin Geddes, who has been preaching for the last two years that value is shifting to the edges of the conversation, and out of the network. Tomorrow's value will come from applications that help people connect before and after the conversation. It will come from the business of facilitating conversations between people who want to converse — the kinds of things we're doing at iotum. It won't come from bit carriage. Bit carriage is a dead business.
But you already knew that. You admitted as much a few months back when you lumped the pipeline carrying bits into the same tax status as the pipeline carrying oil.Â

Keija Parssinen On 'The Unraveling Of Mercy Louis', Basketball, And Badassery
Dogear whatever novel you've been trudging through, because you need to read Keija Parssinen's The Unraveling of Mercy Louis (Harper Collins).This is the witchhunt novel you never knew you needed, but now's the time. Mercy is a teenaged basketball star living in bayou country in southern Texas, and within two or three paragraphs, depending on your mood and hunger status, you'll be hooked to her story.
Mercy's a basketball star with a promising future, but jumping on the chance to leave Port Sabine, her small, sleepy town, will prove more difficult than she'd like. Mercy lives with her grandmother, a strict Evangelical, and keeps receiving strange letters from her birth mother. And Mercy's in love with a boy named Travis. A wallflower character, Illa Stark, cares for her injured mother when's she home and watches Mercy lovingly as the manager of the basketball team. Parssinen's timely novel tracks the hysteria that sweeps through Port Sabine when a fetus is discovered in a dumpster, and the witch hunt that ensues will rattle you as you try to keep up.
Parssinen's novel is intensely gripping, the kind of perfectly timed lore that reflects the upsetting reality that women are still hunted, persecuted, and burned at the stake. Her writing is beautiful and brilliantly paced, and Mercy Lewis is a novel you won't soon shake off.
I spoke with Parssinen about the character of Mercy, writing her story, and struggling as a woman.
BUSTLE: You wrote on your website that the book is a tribute to the
badass girls you played basketball with when you were younger. How do you
define badassery in girls?
KEIJA PARSSINEN: This is the best question ever, thank you! I loved writing Mercy because she is such a Grade A Badass. I might even add an extra "D" onto "badd," just for Mercy. She is fearless in a way I never was. She plays street ball with the boys and teaches them a thing or two while she's at it, and she's the only one who can hang with her acid-tongued best friend, Annie. Mercy enjoys her talent, and embraces it, rather than apologizing for it. I think it takes a spine of steel (a healthy dose of badassery, if you will), if you are female, to be ultra-successful and not feel the need to apologize to anyone for it. Mercy also works really, really hard; she doesn't take anything for granted, or try to coast on her raw skills. That work ethic is pretty badass, but it ultimately becomes unhealthy for her.
Ann Friedman just wrote a great article about how badassery isn't being so tough that you don't cry, but it's also in recognizing how something's made you feel. Do you recognize sensitivity in the badasses you know?
Yes, absolutely. I think embracing real feeling is the most badass thing any person can do. Because it's terrifying to be honest with yourself; it takes real courage. Working to uncover your true self is pretty badass. Mercy, Annie, and Illa are all fighting that battle, in one way or another. Even for adults, that's a struggle, but it's particularly acute in high school. So girls who have the stamina to wade through all the superficial bullshit to try to reach some kind of authenticity, within themselves, or in relationships — they're the badasses.

Ballard back for Wild, OK with being cautious after concussion
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Keith Ballard has two children and a wife at home. He'd prefer to recognize them when his NHL playing career is over.
"I don't want to be putting myself in a position where in 10 years I can't remember their names and can't get through a day functioning normally," the oft-concussed defenseman said Tuesday morning ahead of his reappearance in the Wild lineup. "That's the scary part of these things."
So even after initially shrugging off trainers following the huge hit from behind he took from Blackhawks enforcer Brandon Bollig, Ballard and the Minnesota medical staff were cautious last Friday. He ended up suffering a minor concussion that kept him out for the rest of that Game 4 clash as well as Game 5 Sunday in Chicago.
But in a world where concussion research has yielded troubling information about the injury's long-term effects, Ballard's just fine being overly cautious.
Even in the midst of a heated Stanley Cup playoffs series. And even with the professional athlete's mind-set of "perform at all costs."
Some prices aren't worth it.
"We were trying to be pretty smart about it," said Ballard, who will start in place of Nate Prosser on Tuesday night in the Wild's second elimination situation of the postseason. "I'd been through that before, been down that road a couple times, and the more you kind of learn about these things and the more information that's coming out, the long-term effects, they're not worth it to put yourself in that situation."
In his nine-year career, Ballard has suffered at least four concussions and a handful of other ailments characterized as "upper-body injuries." Two of his concussions have come this season — the first on Oct. 15 when a puck hit him in the face.
A concussion in 2010 while playing for Vancouver sidelined him for five games. Another, in 2012, ended his second season with the Canucks.
Over time, he's learned to identify his symptoms in hopes of preventing lasting damage to his brain.
"It's not an injury that you necessarily are in a lot of pain or anything," Ballard said. "You get some headaches here and there. They can all vary, too."
But he's heard the horror stories. The late Derek Boogaard's accidental overdose from a mixture of the drug oxycodone and alcohol. The careers of Chris Pronger, Marc Savard, Eric Lindros and Scott Stevens ended due to repeated blows to the head.
Like the former Wild forward Boogaard, fellow enforcers Rick Rypien and Wade Belak died in their 20s. Rypien was found to have reportedly committed suicide, and all three dealt with substance and alcohol abuse. Their deaths sparked debate across the hockey world about the NHL's responsibility in dealing with concussions and their aftermath.
Researchers discovered Boogaard had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as CTE, a degenerative brain disease commonly associated with head injuries from contact sports or military combat. CTE commonly includes symptoms of dementia, memory loss, confusion, aggression and depression years after the initial trauma.
The subject of head injuries remains one of great controversy in hockey, football and other contact sports today. Just last month, a group of former NHL players filed a class-action lawsuit alleging the league has glorified fighting and downplayed the risk of resulting head injuries.
"It's terrible," Ballard said. "It is a part of the game, and you're not going be able to avoid them. The one I had earlier this year, I got a puck in the face. That happens, and you just have to understand the circumstances and understand the long-term effects."
Starting with commissioner Gary Bettman's "five-point plan" instituted in March 2011, the league has attempted reduce concussions in the game. Trainers operate under stricter protocols that include thorough testing for symptoms, and equipment makers continue to develop helmets that better protect a player's skull.
"I would say it's changed a great deal, and for the better of the game and the better of the players," Wild coach Mike Yeo said after the team's morning skate Tuesday. "The players are the ones that are putting on the show. They're what people come to see, and they're the commodity that we should be trying to protect here."
The second-period hit that knocked Ballard out of Game 4 cost Bollig a two-game suspension. The league ruled he intentionally checked Ballard from behind.
Officials assessed Bollig a two-minute minor penalty for boarding.
Ballard said the hit wasn't "overly malicious" and wasn't sore over not hearing from Bollig afterward.
"Too much gets made of the whole 'did he text you? Or did he –'" Ballard said. "I don't give a (expletive). I honestly don't. That's what happens, right? I've hit guys, and they've been injured. I don't think it was an overly malicious kind of hit. It was probably a dumb play, but that stuff doesn't really matter to me."
After returning to the ice for practice Monday, Ballard will again replace Prosser, who in 10 playoff games has yet to record a point. Like Ballard, left winger Matt Moulson practiced Monday and skated Tuesday but won't dress for Game 6.
Goalie Darcy Kuemper, who's been out since Game 7 of the first round with a head injury of his own, participated in the team's morning skate and will back up Ilya Bryzgalov Tuesday night.
Defenseman Ryan Suter didn't skate Tuesday morning, but that's because he was at a routine dentist's appointment, Yeo said.
Suter, Ballard and a defensive unit that allowed 37 total shots on goal in Games 3 and 4 at the Xcel Energy Center ought to behoove Minnesota in its quest to erase a second straight 3-2 series deficit. It's a position the Wild's well accustomed to after outlasting Colorado in seven games during the Western Conference quarterfinals.
"Our survival instincts have been much stronger than our killer instincts," the coach said.
Said left wing Zach Parise: "I don't know why that is. We have responded very well. When we've needed to win games, when we've needed to play really well, we've done it."

Moles on the skin are often warning signs of skin disorders and cancers. However, it is difficult to determine if the appearance of a red mole is harmless or a sign of skin cancer. Red moles are tiny growths on the skin surface that may appear suspicious. These moles are much like normal moles except that they are red or pink.
Cherry Hemangiomas
A round, red spot on the skin may not be a mole at all. Instead, it may be a cherry hemangioma. It is a noncancerous, flat or slightly raised area that is red or purple in color. The bumps are usually small and appear in older adults. They are usually caused from an overgrowth of the smaller blood vessels or capillaries in the body. They tend to run in families and are harmless.
What Are True Moles?
While most red moles are not dangerous, there is another group of red moles, known as true moles. True moles are pigmented and a little raised from the skin. They can be red, pink or brown. True moles are also usually benign.
Which Red Moles Are Harmful?
There are some red moles that can be harmful. These are known as pyogenic granulomas. These are also red in color and a little raised from the skin. However, they grow rapidly and form lesions on the skin. They are much softer than other moles and can bleed easily if subjected to the slightest trauma, such as being scraped or bumped.
Red Moles and Skin Cancer
Melanoma is a form of skin cancer in which moles, which can be red or other colors, appear and change shape, size and color over a period of time. A dermatologist can examine such a mole and determine whether it is benign or malignant. Basal cell cancer is another skin cancer in which red-colored lesions appear on the skin.
Removal of Red Moles
Red mole removal may not be necessary because they are usually benign. However, some people may want to remove the moles for cosmetic purposes. A dermatologist can examine the mole and recommend proper removal procedures. Laser removal of moles is one of the most preferred methods of red mole removal. This method uses a high-beam laser to remove the mole painlessly, usually leaving no scars behind.

Okay, this is a real fairytale type situation for me. So, Bylwansta released his Your Absolutely Right Ep back in August and on that 9 track piece, Beatmochini produced a track titled The Routine. Get this though? Beatmochini decided to remix the entire EP with whole new beats and instrumental treatment. WHOA!
"I also fell in love with the body of work and what its content symbolizes to me. I too went through most of the things the youngin' went through, and thought it would be best to ask to remix the whole Ep yet again."
I don't think you understand how massive this is. Bylwansta is just a come up kid, a very talented one at that. But Beatmochini, although he often says he's underrated, is fast on his way to being one of the most formidable producers of our time. I think it's really dope that someone out there in Durban can gain his attention through his music. It speaks a lot to the quality of the kid's work. It's gonna be called Your Absolutely F#!ng Right EP: The Remixes and a release date hasn't been announced yet but I'll say in my own accord, I've heard some pieces of the mixes and it's gonna be something to listen to.
Stream the current EP as it is right now:

One of my clients Naveen, a Software Engineer in India has been doing well and happy as a software Engineer in a multinational company. In spite of this, he has been reporting that when he compares his financial strength with some of his relatives and colleagues in a better position, he is overcome by an intense feeling of inferiority. This has been a chronic problem happening even when the other person says nothing. He tends to avoid coming into contact with such people. This feeling arises spontaneously and severely disturbs his mind and body, sometimes affecting even his virility. He takes a long time to recover his healthy mental state. He gets trapped in this negative state frequently and it may arise anywhere – home, work, among relatives or in community. In spite of reading all my mind related articles repeatedly, he has not been able to overcome this major handicap (1). I wondered for a long time "Naveen gets countless thoughts in a day and none of them makes such a major impact. Why does this single thought impact heavily on his mind and and body and keep recurring?" His problem prompted me to come up with this article comparing thoughts with tuning forks. Read on –
We get thousands of thoughts in a day. Barring exceptions, we experience them as distractions from whatever we may be focusing on, at the moment. Hardly any of them lingers and bothers us. But some thoughts resonate with us intensely and create severe negative reactions – mental, physical or both. What could be the reason? Let us take a clue from our middle school experiments with tuning forks.
You might have done experiments with tuning forks in the Physics lab at your school. I remember mine. We had sets of tuning forks of different natural frequencies in wooden cases. We took them and placed them standing them in wooden holders with the forks pointing up. To test the theory of 'Resonance' my classmate placed his set of forks at one corner of the lab and I placed only one fork at the far corner of the lab.
My classmate tapped on his set of forks, one fork at a time with a small wooden mallet. I was watching my single fork at the other corner. My fork did not show any response when he tapped several forks at his corner. But when he tapped one particular fork, my fork instantly responded by vibrating visibly. When I took my responsive fork to him and compared its natural frequency with the fork he just tapped, we found they had the same natural frequency. Let us now transfer this concept to thoughts – neutral and disturbing thoughts.
During about 16 hours that we are awake, we get thousands of thoughts, the highest estimate being 70000! (2). How many of those thoughts are we even aware of? Like tiny sparks from a sparkler, they appear and disappear. But, some thoughts are immediately noticed by us and cause huge discomfort. We try to push them away. They are like some exceptional sparks that fall on the skin and sting. Such stinging thoughts grab our attention and drain or energy. How do they become so overpowering? What is special about them? They are like my tuning fork which resonated with a particular fork my friend tapped but did not respond to any of the other forks. They exist deep in our minds when we bury some unpleasant beliefs and feelings arising our experiences which we could not place in proper perspective. The exceptional thoughts that disturb us may be triggered by a scene, word or behavior of a person, resonate with our buried beliefs and feelings and shake our minds and bodies. What can we do? We can use such occurrences as messengers pointing at the buried stuff. Then we have to work on them using effective techniques. They will lose their power and pass through our minds without significant impact.

Sports star uses healing touch to save fan having seizure in incredible scenes
A SPORTS star becomes a modern-day miracle worker in shock images of him healing the sick with his hands.
Tim Tebow stuck around to sign autographs after playing baseball for the Scottsdale Scorpions.
But he was taken by surprise when a fan collapsed, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Medics did their best but then Tim came along and placed a healing hand on the fan.
"Tebow puts hand on him and says a prayer. Man breathes. WOW"Witness
Seconds later, the fan gasped for air and came around, coughing but conscious.
Witnesses described how Tebow, an evangelical Christian, said a prayer as he touched the fan.
He stayed with the man for 30 minutes and left his friends with some signed merchandise to pass on.
The man, who was later taken to and discharged from hospital, said he chatted to Tebow about American football.
Local news reporter Kari Van Horn, who witnessed the whole thing, described how it unfolded on Twitter.
She wrote: "Tebow signing autographs. Fan has what looks like seizure. Not moving.
"Tebow puts hand on him and says a prayer. Man breathes. WOW."
She later Tweeted: "I just witnessed a MIRACLE."

On average, new car prices in Australia have fallen around 6 percent with the introduction of the new tax system.
Arguably the biggest question in the Australian-built six cylinder market - the closely-guarded post-GST price of Toyota's finally-released Avalon - has been answered with a starting price of $28,490 for the auto-only Conquest (pictured).
That price is, as Toyota predicted, a pacesetter in the "Aussie six" automatic market. It's $100 cheaper than the post-GST 3.0-litre automatic Magna Executive.
The Commodore Executive auto is $29,030 (down from $30,870), while the Falcon Forte's new price is $30,475 (down from $32,415).
Don't forget, however, that the Avalon doesn't come standard with air conditioning or a CD player (the Falcon gets both, while the 3.0-litre Magna Executive gets free air).
The 3.0 litre Magna Executive manual is the cheapest Australian-built big six, at $26,990, followed by Holden's manual Executive Commodore, now $28,330.
Toyota announced a blanket 6.07 percent reduction on its sub-luxury tax cars, which has effectively dropped the Echo below $15,000, the Corolla under $20,000 and the Camry under $25,000. The entry level Echo will carry a recommended retail price of $14,550, the Corolla Ascent comes in at $19,152, and the Camry CSi now starts at $24,779.
Toyota Australia's senior executive vice-president John Conomos said the GST would act as a massive stimulant to the market.
In a "broad brush" overview of other post-GST price lists announced so far, Holden's Barina range starts at $13,160 and tops out at $16,530 for the Swing automatic. The Astra ranges from $19,740 and reaches $24,400 for the automatic Hatch. The Vectra now starts at $23,970 for the GL manual and reaches $30,850 for the CD auto. The V8 manual caps the Commodore Executive range at $32,940, while the Acclaim (with free air) now comes in at $34,400. The Commodore SS auto and manual both come in at $44,400.
Holden's Calais now starts at $46,410, while the V8 auto is $50,320. The V6 Statesman now starts at $49,490, while the V8 is $53,450. The Caprice V6 is $62,920 and the V8 is $66,840.
Ford's pricelist now starts with the Festiva Trio at $13,140 (down from $13, 990) and the Festiva GLXi at $15,950. The Laser LXi hatch and sedan have dropped under $20,000 and now come in at $19,710. The Ka is $15,490 (down from $16,500).
The Mondeo range starts with the Verona at $25,360, while the flagship ST24 is $34,750.
The aforementioned Forte sedan kicks off the Falcon range at $30,475 and the Futura now starts at $34,445. The XR6s start at $37,325 for the HP version, and the XR8 becomes $46,015. The Fairmont sedan is $37,515, and the Ghia is $45,735.
The Fairlane Ghia is now $48,555, and the LTD has dropped to $69,397.
Mitsubishi's Mirage now starts at $14,490, while the Verada Ei becomes $38,500 and the Xi is $47,650.
Mazda's MX-5 has dropped below the $40,000 "barrier" to become $39,795. The starting price for a Mazda post-GST puts a 1.3 litre Metro at $14,550, the 323 range now begins at $19,715 for a 1.6 litre Protege sedan and Astina hatchback.
The 626 range now starts at $25,645 for the Limited sedan, while the 626 Classic Hatch is $30,750. Mazda's flagship Miller-cycle Eunos 800 is a luxury-tax-incluse $70,135.
Other officially announced post-GST prices so far include the Proton range, which now starts with the $12,190 Satria GL manual. The hot ticket Satria GTi manual becomes $26,290. The Persona starts at $13,990 for the manual GLi, and the M21 Coupe now starts at $21,590.
Hyundai's Excel replacement, the Accent, was launched with a post-GST price starting at $14,990, and air conditioning optional.

The Exploitation of China and the "Open Door" Policy.

Many Americans became concerned about the increasing foreign intervention in China because they feared that American missions and missionaries would be jeopardized and Chinese markets would be closed to non-Europeans (like the USA who are non-Europeans). {Remember that Europeans and the Japanese were imposing economic and military imperialism on the Chinese by carving up China into "spheres of influence" for themselves.}
America's "Open Door" policy was essentially an argument for free trade in China for all western industrial nations. (Remember: free trade means low or no tariffs.){TheEuropeans, Japanese, and the Americans would not restrict trade in China and maintain an "open door" for all to trade there and avoid competition and/or war as a result.}
The extended "Open Door" policy advocated in
Secretary of State John Hay's second note called
on all of the big powers (Western European nations
and Japan), including the USA, to observe the
territorial integrity of China. Sec of State John Hay
China's Boxer "Rebellion" (1900) [Eurocentric term] was an attempt to drive (throw) out or kill all foreigners ("Foreign Devils") {which was a nationalistic response to "spheres of influence" that the Europeans, Japanese, and Americans had imposed on China by 1900}.
The American response to China's Boxer "Rebellion," was that the USA abandoned its general principles of non-entanglement and noninvolvement in overseas conflict (with Europe, not Latin America). ["Isolationism" – if we ever were truly "isolationist" – is a term that is relative to Europe only as the USA was never "isolationist" in regards to countries in the Americas.]
Once the Boxer uprising ended, China was spared further partition by foreign powers.
I found this looking for images of the Boxer "Rebellion"
The Boxer Rebellion, more properly called the Boxer Uprising, or the Righteous Harmony Society Movement (義和團運動) in Chinese, was a violent anti-imperialism, anti-Christian movement by the "Righteous Fists of Harmony," Yihe tuan义和团 or Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists in China (known as "Boxers" in English), between 1898 and 1901.
In response to imperialist expansion, growth of cosmopolitan influences, and missionary evangelism, and against the backdrop of state fiscal crisis and natural disasters, local organizations began to emerge in Shandong in 1898.
At first, they were relentlessly suppressed by the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty of China. Later, the Qing Dynasty tried to expel western influence from China.
Under the slogan "Support the Qing, destroy the foreign" (扶清灭洋), Boxers across North China attacked mission compounds.
In June 1900, Boxer fighters, lightly armed or unarmed, gathered in Beijing to besiege the foreign embassies. On June 21st, the conservative faction of the Imperial Court induced the Empress Dowager, who ruled in the emperor's name, to declare war on the foreign powers that had diplomatic representation in Beijing. Diplomats, foreign civilians, soldiers and some Chinese Christians retreated to the Legation Quarter where they held out for 55 days until the Eight-Nation Alliance brought 20,000 troops to their rescue.
The Boxer Protocol of September 7th, 1901 ended the uprising and provided for severe punishments, including an indemnity of 67 million pounds.
The Qing Dynasty was greatly weakened, and was eventually overthrown by the 1911 revolution, which led to the establishment of the Chinese Republic.
Origins of the Boxers:
The Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists (simplified Chinese: 义和团; traditional Chinese: 義和團; pinyin: Yìhétuán), known by foreigners as the Boxers, was a secret society founded in Shandong, located in the North province of China.
Westerners came to call well-trained, athletic young men "Boxers" due to the martial arts and calisthenics they practiced. Despite the obvious differences between Wushu and Western pugilistic boxing, the training for unarmed combat took on the same name to the Europeans.
The Boxers believed that they could, through training, diet, martial arts, and prayer, perform extraordinary feats, such as flight, and could become immune to swords and bullets. Further, they popularly claimed that millions of "spirit soldiers" would descend from the heavens and assist them in purifying China from foreign influences.
Boxers recruited local farmers and other workers made desperate by disastrous floods and focused blame on both Christian missionaries and Chinese Christians.
Some Chinese Christians were recent converts and some had been born into the faith, but missionaries secured special protection for them using the shelter of Extraterritoriality [extraterritoriality is the exemption from the jurisdiction of local laws = "diplomatic immunity"].
Aggression toward missionaries and Christians gained the attention of foreign (mainly European) governments.
After the Hundred Days Reform failed, the conservative Empress Dowager Cixi (Tsu His) seized power and put the reformist Guangxu Emperor into house arrest. Western countries were sympathetic to the imprisoned emperor, and opposed Cixi's plan to replace the Guangxu emperor. Empress Dowager Cixi decided to use Boxers to expel Western influences from China; meanwhile, the Boxers would be weakened by Western forces. Then the Boxer slogan became "support the Qing, destroy the Foreign." (扶清灭洋)
Boxers, by Johannes Koekkoek circa 1900.
The Chinese nationalist "Boxers," as well as many other Chinese, were angry over extraterritoriality rights that allowed foreigners to be subject to their own nation's courts for crimes rather than to Chinese courts (hence laws).
When the Boxers began to have success and the support of the people and it looked as if they could defeat the "foreign devils," the Dowager Empress Cixi committed the Imperial Army to the cause of supporting the "Boxers" rather than suppressing them.
Next, the massacre of foreign missionaries began.

The Holy Chinese Martyrs
The Taiyuan Massacre was the mass killing of foreign Christian missionaries and of local church members, including children, from July 1900, and was one of the bloodier and more infamous parts of the Boxer Rebellion. 222 Chinese Eastern Orthodox Christians were also murdered, along with 182 Protestant missionaries and 500 Chinese Protestants known as the China Martyrs of 1900. In the end, 48 Catholic missionaries and 18,000 Chinese Catholics were murdered.
--Father Geoffrey Korz, of the Orthodox church."
"Boxers blamed "foreign devils" like my great-grandparents for causing northern China's drought and famine, exacerbating economic hardships by building railroads and telegraph lines (because such modern conveniences eliminated jobs), undermining the native textile industry with European imports, infecting and killing Chinese children with Christian prayers and for various other real and imagined infamies."
Two China Martyrs of 1900
"The barbaric Boxer Rebellion came as a sudden thunderstorm; all foreigners were to be killed not in the sudden merciful death of a bullet but sliced to death by big, old rusty knives and swords.... I had an old Winchester rifle and plenty of ammunition ready for the journey.... The Boxer uprising ultimately claimed the lives of more than 32,000 Chinese Christians and several hundred foreign missionaries." Historian Nat Brandt called it "the greatest single tragedy in the history of Christian evangelicalism."Primary Source Quotations of the Massacre of Missionaries during the Boxer "Rebellion" continued

Arrival of reinforcements:
Foreign navies started building up their presence along the northern China coast from the end of April 1900. On the 31st of May, before the sieges had started and upon the request of foreign embassies in Beijing, an International force of 435 navy troops from eight countries were dispatched by train from Takou to the capital (75 French, 75 Russian, 75 British, 60 U.S., 50 German, 40 Italian, 30 Japanese, 30 Austrian); these troops joined the legations and were able to contribute to their defense.
The rebellion was ultimately quashed by the Eight-Nation Alliance of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The Eight-Nation Alliance attempted an intervention with troops that had to march to Beijing; however, these troops were ultimately attacked and turned back by the "Boxers," Chinese irregular forces, and even Chinese imperial troops (regular forces).
A second attempt to reach Beijing was made, and it was eventually successful in arriving at the compound and relieving the weak Eight-nation forces and save the foreign diplomats, their families, the missionaries, and the soldiers from certain death at the hands of the "Boxers," who had suffered severe casualties as a result of the repeated assaults on the foreign diplomatic quarter (compound) after a siege of "55 Days in Peking."

This dude from the Austro-Hungarian Empire did not do the decapitating, even though he has a cool sword.
Some of the soldiers of the Eight Nation Alliance engaged in plunder and looting, as well as rape in some cases.
The Dowager Empress, now seeing her misfortune of having switched to support the "Boxers" hoped that if she acted decisively against the "Boxers" she could maintain her power. She did remain in power, because she rounded up the "Boxers" and had Chinese imperial troops decapitate (cut off the heads) the "rebels."
Dowager Empress Cixi, the power behind the throne.
On September 7th, 1901, the Qing court was compelled to sign the "Boxer Protocol" also known as Peace Agreement between the Eight-Nation Alliance and China that ordered the execution of ten high-ranking officials linked to the outbreak, and other officials who were found guilty for the slaughter of Westerners in China.
China was fined war reparations of 450,000,000 tael of fine silver (1 tael = 1.2 troy ounces) for the loss that it caused. The reparation would be paid within 39 years, and would be 982,238,150 taels with interests (4% per year) included. To help meet the payment, it was agreed to increase the existing tariff from an actual 3.18% to 5%, and to tax hitherto duty-free merchandise. The sum of reparation was estimated by the Chinese population (roughly 450 million in 1900), to let each Chinese pay one tael. Chinese custom income and salt tax were enlisted as guarantee of the reparation. Russia got 30% of the reparation, Germany 20%, France 15.75%, Britain 11.25%, Japan 7.7% and the US share was 7%.
A large portion of the reparations paid to the United States was diverted to pay for the education of Chinese students in U.S. universities under the Boxer Rebellion Indemnity Scholarship Program. To prepare the students chosen for this program an institute was established to teach the English language and to serve as a preparatory school for the course of study chosen. When the first of these students returned to China they undertook the teaching of subsequent students, from this institute was born Tsinghua University. Some of the reparation due to Britain was later earmarked for a similar program.
The China or Inland Mission lost more members than any other missionary agency: 58 adults and 21 children were killed. However, in 1901, when the allied nations were demanding compensation from the Chinese government, Hudson Taylor refused to accept payment for loss of property or life in order to demonstrate the meekness of Christ to the Chinese.
The western countries stopped short of finally colonizing China. From the Boxer rebellions, the westerners learned that the best way to govern China was through the Chinese dynasty, instead of direct dealing with the Chinese people (as a saying "The people are afraid of officials, the officials are afraid of foreigners, and the foreigners are afraid of the people" (老百姓怕官,官怕洋鬼子,洋鬼子怕老百姓). Dowager Cixi used Boxers to fight westerners largely because western countries sympathized with the Guangxu Emperor, who had been house-arrested after an aborted reformation. However, eventually, as an unwritten agreement, Dowager Cixi was allowed to stay in power, since comparatively, Cixi could use her influence to suppress the Chinese anti-western sentiment better than the weak and ineffectual Guangxu Emperor. The Guangxu Emperor spent the rest of his life in house-arrest.

Imperial China, in the nineteenth century was in a state of decay. Accompanied and partly responsible for the deterioration of a once powerful empire was the increasing pressure from the West and later from Japan. The Chinese had been badly beaten in the Opium wars with Britain (concluded in 1842) and were forced to open Chinese ports to foreign trade and residents. The Manchu dynasty, already ravaged by domestic rebellion, found itself powerless to resist further demands from Western Powers and between 1856 to 1898, a network of foreign control over the entire Chinese economy had been established.
The Triads resented this dilution of their entrenched power and in 1898, with the support of the dowager empress who had recently retired, seized the emperor and took control. This started a period of violent reaction that swept the country and culminated in 1900 with the Boxer Rebellion.

The Boxers were the Triads' private armies of well trained, dedicated and fanatically anti-foreign martial artists, inspired by the Shaolin tradition and with an unshakable belief in their immunity to any kind of attack. Together with the official Chinese army they initially enjoyed some success, killing hundreds of foreigners and besieging the international settlement at Peking. These successes were short lived however, as a Western expeditionary force, made up of United States, British, French and Japanese troops, arrived and lifted the siege. Large numbers of boxers, confident that their iron-shirt training would protect them, succumbed to bullets and cannon fire before the rebellion was finally crushed. The remaining Boxers faded away and no more was heard of them, although it is known that many of them took refuge in Taiwan.

German political cartoons of Der Krieg in China ("The War in China").
Collier's magazine cover from the time of the Boxer Uprising. Notice the cost of the magazine.
Like the previous week's issue of Harper's Weekly, the June 30 cover of Judge features William Jennings Bryan as an angry, rebellious Chinese Boxer. The Boxer Rebellion was then at its height in China. An international military force had been sent to Peking (Beijing), the Chinese capital, to crush the rebellion and restore order. I n late June, President William McKinley transferred 2500 American troops from the Philippines to China, where they became part of the 20,000 international troops that ended the rebellion in August 1900.
Uncles Sam (to the obstreperous [hostile] Boxer).I occasionally do a little boxing myself."
This Harper's Weekly cartoon by W. A. Rogers encourages an aggressive American military reaction to the Boxer Rebellion in China. A determined Uncle Sam has donned two naval ships as boxing gloves, provoking the Chinese rebel, whose knife drips with blood, into a wide-eyed grimace of fear.
See next slide for explanation of this political cartoon
This British "chromo" cartoon of 1901 lampoons the situation after the Boxer Rebellion was quelled: The imperial powers cluster around the prostrate carcass of the golden dragon, China, to claim their share.
Newcomers Japan (sabre-toothed tiger, with samurai short sword in mouth), Italy (toothy dog in carabinieri garb) and U.S. (one of 3 eagles) are just as aggressive, though not as large, as the Russian bear and British lion.
France is seen here as a rooster, Austria the two-headed eagle. In truth, economic decline and social instability had wracked China since the 1860s.
Even so, by 1900 signs of imminent collapse were appearing -- a collapse greatly hastened by the dynasty's siding with the Boxers.
The several years of foreign occupation and looting that ensued destabilized Chinese society and resulted in increased foreign control and further deligitimization of the dynasty.
In 1902, when order was restored, it had barely 10 years to live.
The toothless Republic that succeeded it never established broad national control.
In less time than it takes to tell, China broke down into chaos, civil war, and warlordism -- when combined with the 8-year Japanese invasion and occupation, a dark tunnel of horrors from which the population did not emerge until 1950.
This fine drawing may serve as a metaphor for the squabble of the imperial powers over how best to dismember the defunct Chinese Empire.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle. It affects any age group and is a serious lifelong condition.
Cardiomyopathy means your heart is unable to pump an adequate supply of blood around the body.
As cardiomyopathy progresses your heart becomes weaker.
Some types of cardiomyopathy can cause an irregular heart beat, because the heart muscle becomes stretched.
There are different types of cardiomyopathy, which affect different groups of people. Some types of cardiomyopathy can be inherited. Others are caused by things like viral infections in your heart, or heart attacks.
If a cardiomyopathy is making your heart not work properly, you may get symptoms like breathlessness, tiredness and swelling in your legs and abdomen (because of fluid build up).
If your doctor thinks you might have cardiomyopathy, they may do a physical examination and order tests like a chest X-ray or an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound).
If you think there might be hereditary causes of your cardiomyopathy, talk with your doctor about whether you should get your family checked.
Treatment depends on the type of cardiomyopathy. The main goals are to:
Your doctor may prescribe medicines. It's important to take your medicines as prescribed. You will probably have to take them long term. You also need to have appointments with your local doctor. Read more about medicines
Depending on the type of cardiomyopathy, your doctor may recommend surgery or an implantable device like an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or bi-ventricular pacemaker. Read more about heart procedures and devices
You can also help to reduce the effects of cardiomyopathy and the risk of more heart problems by making lifestyle changes:

How To Use Marketing Automation
Various technologies are in place that help marketers manage the customer experience across multiple channels. Marketing automation enhances customer experiences, which in turn develops those relationships, creating loyal buyers and generating high-quality leads. Having a central database, as well as relationship marketing engines that manage the marketing processes across multiple channels, is key along with high-powered analytics engines.
However, while many of these technologies help marketers keep a strong hold on their existing buyers and analyze their relationships with an already-captive audience, they do not functionally help the marketer to analyze content. And in marketing, great content rules. Filling multiple channels with unnecessary content just adds to the noise from all directions, and can rapidly alienate potential new buyers if the content is not directed at what they need to know. Existing marketing automation solutions also do not help marketers capture new buyers who are not familiar with your brand. This causes marketers to loose out on growing pipeline.
To perfect your existing marketing automation, Captora is the perfect partner. Captora brings data, process, and optimization to the top-of-funnel, which means more leads going into your marketing automation system. Marketers can now scale inbound campaigns effectively by focusing on deep analytics to grow pipeline with qualified leads. Engage those leads across multiple channels with Captora's content-leveraging technology.

The Treasure Coast spans the east coast of Florida roughly from Jupiter to Vero Beach. It derives it's name from a Spanish treasure fleet that was lost during a hurricane in 1715. Their are a lot of great windsurfing spots on the Treasure Coast but this blog focuses mainly on the Indian River from Stuart to Jensen Beach.
Tuesday, May 13, 2008
We were in Ft Myers for Mothers day, so Saturday we went out to the Sanibel causeway. Sarah and Frank put some time in on the water. Sunday on the way home the wind really came up out of the southwest. I was able to get out to the Stuart causeway at 4:00. Rigged a 6.0 on my 88L board and had plenty of power. Dino was there and Brandon showed up later. It was nice to make huge runs up and down the river. Monday the wind was still up, I got to the river at 5:30 and rigged the same as Sunday. James and Kathy were still there. The wind wasn't as filled in so I switched to my 118L board. I had a good time, when the gusts came through.

text: So I recently decided to take all my pirated (I mean "back-up") DVD's out of their jewel cases and put them into binders in an attempt to free up some shelf space. Once that little task was complete, I was left with a big box full of empty cd jewel cases. So, what to do with them? I did make a few pen / pencil boxes, but then decided on trying a bird house. Sure, it turned out a little bigger that planned (as usual), but it looks pretty cool. Now, as long as the plastic cases don't focus the sunlight like a magnifying glass and fry any potential occupants, we will be doing OK. Hot glue and some free time goes a long way. Enjoy
