I have been associated with Me Fine ever since it was founded. The foundation has worked so hard to help everyone that calls the office. The foundation is there with help. No matter the race, religion, or status. Me Fine was started and the founder wanted everything that was given to as donation stays to me fine and not to the operating costs. This is why Second Hope Shop is so important. Second Hope is Me Fine's thrift store that pays the bills so that all of Me Fine's donations can go to the families. Me Fine is a special foundation that does what they say. I will always stand behind Me Fine and their goals!!
I have been witness to the amazing miracles that Me Fine Foundation provides on a daily basis. I have been part of this organization for a little over a year and have seen families who felt hopeless find encouragement, support, and assistance through Me Fine. Anything from rent/mortgage payments, car payments, gas cards, food, household supplies, funeral expenses, or even just an ear to listen, I have seen provided to families desperate for help that they were unable to find elsewhere. It is my privilege to be part of something that is making such a difference everyday in the lives of so many. Me Fine has a very profound mission. One that is growing unbounded. Always willing to make sure that a families loving focus can be placed solely on their ailing child without life's distractions. I have had great admiration since day one, for the founders of this organization who chose to create hope for others out of the pain of their own loss. Me Fine is a fantastic non-profit!
When I first hear the word children I think of so many things: Smiling, running, growing, learning, giggles, and happiness. But for some children, that isn't how they feel. Growing up it never even crossed my mind that children could get sick with diseases or things that would leave them in the hospital for months and months on end. Not until my little brother was born and I saw so many babies, toddlers, children, and teenagers sick with no where to go and nothing to do but have HOPE that they would be carried through this roller coaster called life. After moving to Princeton, the small town that me fine is based out of, I learned of this one of a kind foundation that helps children, just like the ones I saw at UNC. They didn't need to know all the ins and outs of your life. They didn't need to know how much money you make, what kind of car that you drive, the square footage of your house. They just know that there should never be a choice between getting your child to treatment or having lights when you get back home. Never should you have to stress about how you have no food in your house, or not being able to have a place to live. You shouldn't have to carry the burden of everyday life that doesn't stop on top of the stress of seeing your child fight so hard and there is nothing that you can do to help them.
That's what me fine does. It's a place for many families to go and say, help and receive an answer without question. It's a place where when you feel like you have no where else to turn, you can call and just talk or cry and know that the person on the other end of the phone is truly listening to you. From day 1 to Day 2,920 and beyond me fine is living our their mission and I am so honored and pleased to be able to be a part of a team and get to see miracles happen everyday.
Me Fine Foundation is more than the grass roots charity that we started out to be 8 short years ago. As the Director of Family Assistance; I have seen, heard, and felt the relief that Me Fine brings to all of our families. Me Fine has stopped evictions, disconnection of services and repossessions. We have also provided groceries, gas gift cards, funding for medication and so much more. When caring for a child with a critical or terminal disease, no parent should be faced with home or treatment. Me Fine was founded to put a stop to these decisions. I know that we are unable to change these families paths but we CAN make the path a little less bumpy.
This foundation does amazing things. It good to know that I can volunteer at a charity that is doing what their mission states. Keep going Me Fine!
I have been volunteering with Me Fine since it was started. It is very touching to see the amount of lives that are touched by this Foundation every year. What a blessing to have such in our community.
I started volunteering with Me Fine shortly after they were founded. My daughter is 8 and has been volunteering along side me for the last 4 years, ever since we helped provide Christmas to a Me Fine Family 4 years ago this Christmas. Seeing the light on my child's face as she wrapped presents for another child has truly been a blessing. She understands that by volunteering with Me Fine we are helping sick children and their families. What a blessing Me Fine is.

ISLAMABAD, July 10: The race is on to be the first to file a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a bill relating to contempt of court that is yet to become a law.
While the Contempt of Court Bill 2012 is yet to be approved by the 100-member Senate after which it is to be sent to the president for assent, Muhammad Siddique Khan Baloch and Syed Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi filed two separate petitions before the court on Tuesday.
On Monday night, the National Assembly passed the new law to substitute the Contempt of Court Ordinance V of 2003 perceived to be aimed at protecting new Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf whose government has to make known its intention before the Supreme Court on July 12 about writing a letter to the Swiss authorities for reopening graft cases worth $60 million against President Asif Ali Zardari.
It was under the ordinance of 2003 that former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and his cabinet had been sent home for committing contempt by not implementing the NRO verdict which asked for writing the letter.
"We have not challenged the act, but the bill," Siddique Baloch said when asked why he had moved the petition when the bill was yet to become a law.
Talking to Dawn, he said he was confident that his case would be taken up by the Supreme Court soon.
His counsel Advocate Muhammad Ikram Chaudhry said the court office had not yet returned the petition.
The other petitioner is Akhtar Naqvi whose earlier petition led to the move for the 22nd Amendment after the membership of a number of parliamentarians had been suspended for having dual nationality.
"One should wait instead of showing haste in filing such petitions because in such case the mover finds no time to research and find out case laws for arguments," said senior Supreme Court lawyer Raja Muqsit Nawaz.
He, however, explained the reason behind the tendency to rush such petitions.
It is a common feature that a number of petitions are filed by people from different walks of life, but a particular case is usually known by the person who filed it first because it finds the top position in the cause list, thus making the mover a popular man in the judicial history.
For instance, he said, the renowned challenge to the NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) was always known by the Dr Mubashir Hassan case, although a number of petitions had been filed against the ordinance.
Raja Muqsit said the apex court could strike down a law only after examining its vires, if the law impinged on the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution or militated against the independence of judiciary, aimed at curtailing the authority of the judiciary.
By filing such petitions and openly claiming that these would be upheld meant pre-empting the court's verdict even before it had been argued, thus tarnishing the image of judiciary in the eyes of the people, he said.
"To anticipate a verdict on a case which is not even pending before the court is itself contempt," commented a senior court officer, adding that propriety demanded that issues not yet before the court should not be discussed at all.
About the proposed contempt law, he said that except for three additions -- immunity to the holders of public office under Article 248(1) of the Constitution, right to appeal that suspends the conviction and expunged part of a discussion in parliament not to be taken as evidence -- the latest law was the exact rendition of the 1976 contempt law.
Additional Advocate General of Punjab Jawwad Hassan said an aggrieved person could approach the court only when there was some legislative, executive or administrative action against him.
"No action, no remedy or no action no res (case)," he said, adding that no one should give his mind before anything had happened.
Otherwise, he added, it would mean pre-conceived notion and, therefore, would be biased.
In his petition, Siddique Baloch requested the court to declare that the law showed lack of legislative competence and the federal government had unconstitutionally and unlawfully attempted to make the constitutional provisions ineffective through the new law.
Akhtar Naqvi contended that the bill was against Article 25 of the Constitution which ensured equality of citizens.

A couple of things to keep in mind: Dr's are not nutritionists or dieticians. I have never listened to their advice regarding what and when I should feed my babies. Also, one of the reasons it's important to not feed them foods too early, is because when their guts aren't mature enough to handle it, proteins and things slip through and can cause allergies and other dietary issues. They may seem ready to eat, but I'd be slow and cautious with it.
We'll start with mashed up avocados and bananas around 6 months probably, and it won't be for nutrition, just for fun and learning. Although I cannot wait for mum mums!!

Irish church to stop celebrating Sunday mass in English due to priest shortage
Parishioners at St. Brigid's Church in Newry, Northern Ireland were disappointed to learn that the only Sunday mass in English has been discontinued due to the shortage of priests.
The worshippers are left with the option to attend the Saturday evening service or the Sunday mass that is conducted in Polish, according to Belfast Telegraph. The weekly services were also cut down from three to just one, which will be held every Friday evening.
The 9:30 a.m. Saturday mass in the city's cathedral has also been scrapped along with the Saturday vigil at St. Mary's Old Chapel and other services.
The members of the congregation were upset that they were not consulted prior to the announcement of the changes, and they were disappointed that the petition containing 600 signatures was not acknowledged.
Bishop of Dromore John McAreavey expressed his grief about the decision, but he said that changes were necessary.
"There is a sadness to it, of course there is. People are attached to their own Mass, their own church, and sometimes even their own seat. I say this with respect because we all have habits, particularly with religious practice," the bishop told the Belfast Telegraph.
"I have a responsibility to make sure there is adequate provision of services, but I also have a responsibility to make sure priests do not find themselves with a burden that is unsustainable. I don't want to kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and that's our clergy," the bishop continued.
He explained that the falling priest numbers and the low church attendance, with the exception of Christmas Eve, were the main reasons for the changes.
There used to be nine priests serving the Newry Parish a decade ago, but now, there are just three.
McAreavey said that the numbers celebrating mass in St. Brigid's had been monitored for six months, and it showed that the attendance was higher on Saturday evenings than on Sunday mornings at 11:30 a.m.
SDLP Newry councilor Gary Stokes described the move as the "end of an era" for St. Brigid's. He also pointed out that people at his own parish of St. Mary's were disappointed by the loss of their Saturday vigil mass.
Stokes stated that he and other elected officials are attempting to schedule a meeting with McAreavey to discuss the issue, according to The Irish News. The councilor said that he had heard suggestions that the 9:30 a.m. mass in St. Brigid's could be conducted in both languages.

Piston Hondo
Little Mac is back in one of the 5 best Wii games for fighting fanatics. After Little Mac has taken care of the fighters in the Minor Circuit, the next step is for him to step up to the Major Cicuit of Punch-Out!. Below are all the fighters Little Mac must defeat to make it to the World Circuit.
Piston Hondo has a record of 26 wins and one loss, with 18 knockouts. Hondo is the fastest and one of the more powerful fighters Little Mac has boxed, so far. This 6 foot 2 inch, 174 lb fighter is from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Piston Hondo starts the boxing match with two attacks, and adds a third after you knock him down for the first time. Keep an eye on his twitching eyebrow, this is an indication that he's about to throw his left jab. If you time it right, you can dodge, duck or block his jab and deliver a counter punch. Dodge his right hook by ducking or moving to the left. After you knock Hondo down the first time he'll add a powerful right uppercut to his arsenal that you need to stay away from. Hondo also has a special attack called the Hondo Rush. This attack consists of three fast left jabs followed by an uppercut.
You can avoid all of Hondo's normal punches if you keep dodging to the left. Try to block the three jabs in his special attack. If you try to dodge all three, you'll get hit. You need to get a feel for Hondo's timing and counter punch him to win. If you do this, it's easy to win with one punch knock downs.

Bear Hugger
Bear Hugger is a tough and burly lumberjack from the Canadian wilderness near Salmon Arm, British Columbia. He has a record of 17 wins and 12 defeats, with 10 knockouts.This 6 foot 3 inch and 440 lb fighter is 32 years old. Bear Hugger is the first fighter Little Mac has faced that can't be knocked down with one punch. Bear Hugger also hits very hard and can reduce Little Mac's health by half with a well placed punch.
Bear Hugger is a hard puncher, but he only has three attacks for the whole fight. He'll throw a left hook that you should dodge to the left or duck under. You should counter when he throws his left hook because it's the easiest one to counter. His second punch is a straight right hand that can be dodged in either direction. This attack has a slight delay, so wait for a second until you see his hands rise up before dodging. His last attack is the Bear Hug, which he'll start using after being knocked down for the first time. This is his most powerful attack but he always screams "Need a Hug" before he attempts it, so you always know its coming.

Great Tiger
Great Tiger is the toughest fighter Little Mac has faced in Punch-Out!, so far. He has some very fast punches and a few mystical tricks he's hiding in his bag. He's a difficult opponent, until you learn the timing required to dodge and counter his punches. Great Tiger has three regular punches and a special attack that he can use. He has access to all his punches at the beginning of the fight. The first punch he uses is a simple jab, which is always preceded by the flash of the jewel in his turban. If it flashes gold, you can counter punch him for an easy star. If it flashes red, however, it's better to dodge his jab. If you try to counter punch him when it flashes red, he'll disappear in a flash of smoke and reappear with a fast uppercut that will hurt. You can dodge, block or duck his jab. His other two punches are both uppercuts. His right uppercut comes with a slight pause and should be dodged to the left. His left uppercut is much faster and should be dodged to the right. You can counter punch his uppercuts, but do so just before he throws them. Great Tiger also has a special attack called the Rushing Magic Attack. This attack is easy to see coming but hard to avoid. Great Tiger will teleport to the back of the ring and reappears with a ghostly double image of himself. Ignore the double and watch the solid Great Tiger. They'll switch places a number of times before rushing in for an uppercut. Dodge toward the real Tiger to avoid this uppercut.
- slide 5 of 5
Don Flamenco
Don Flamenco is Little Mac's last opponent in the Major Circuit. He also throws a greater variety and number of punches than Little Mac's previous opponents. He does have a special attack, but after you get use to it, you should have no problem avoiding it.
Don Flamenco begins the match with two regular punches and his special punch available. His two regular punches are both uppercuts. HIs first upper cut will be preceded by the phrase "Carmen, mi amore" and will be a punch with a delay. Wait until he stops talking before dodging left to avoid this attack. His second uppercut is preceded by the phrase "Toro" and is a much faster punch that should be dodged immediately. Before Don Flamenco uses his special attack, Don will back off and count to three in Spanish. He'll then throw three rapid right hooks that can be dodged or ducked to the left. Once you knock Don down once, he'll get another punch. This punch is a left hook with a slight delay. Wait until he utters the phrase "Ole" before dodging this attack. Once you knock him down a second time, Don will get yet another punch. This punch is a fast left jab that is preceded by two quick claps of his hands. You can dodge or duck this attack. After you knock Don down the second time, his toupee will come off when his health drops below 50%. When this happens, he'll add another punch, a left uppercut that has a slight delay.
Little Mac has finished off the fighters in the Major Circuit of one of the best 5 Wii games for hardcore fighters, Punch-Out!.

Aussie DJ Duo Want More Women To Be Engineers In New Song
Aussie DJ Duo NERVO try to attract women to engineering in their funky, futuristic new song. NERVO/UNSW
By Luke Cooper
This article originally appeared on Huffington Post
Teenagers of the world, listen up -- if futuristic touch screen computers, laser shows, android DJs and a funky new-age party gets your heart beating a little faster, Aussie DJ duo NERVO and eight top universities have a message for you.
You might want to be an engineer, even if you don't know it yet.
The 29-year-old singer-songwriters and sound engineers Miriam Nervo and Olivia Nervo launched the video clip for 'People Grinnin' on Friday as part of the 'Made By Me' collaboration between the University of New South Wales, the University of Wollongong, the University of Western Australia, the University of Queensland, Monash University, the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University and the University of Adelaide together with Engineers Australia.
The initiative looks to challenge stereotypes by showing how engineering can be the driving force for everyday technologies and how women can enter the typically male-dominated industry...

Most of New Hampshire's farms are located amongst hills and woodlands. Not so Spring Ledge Farm in New London, NH. This beautifully laid out farm is one of a very few in the state situated on conservation land in the middle of a bustling town. The pride of the town's Main Street, the farm is situated between two sections of a commercial zone. John and Sue Clough opened the farmstand in 1976 on land John's family had owned since before the Civil War.

Horse Training Program
Horse Training Programs
Training Program
(Impossible is only impossible within the limits of conventional thinking).
Equine training program.
SOM's Training Program
The Science of Motion training program is restoring soundness and competitive skill even when other approaches have failed. Shelly had a chronic case of Sacroiliac Joint. She was lame with the right hind leg and responded positive to all tests at the exception of pressure on the tuber coxal. Shelly owes her full recovery to the determination and intuition of her owner Julie. Julie Reich did not believe the advises of numerous professionals telling her that the mare had no physical issue, "It's in her head." Of course not it was not in her head. The problem was an inverted rotation of the thoracic spine which placed the thoracolumbar column and therefore sacrum and pelvis in the wrong alignment in relation to the direction of the motion. Consequently, repetitive abnormal stresses were induced on the sacroiliac joint and the joints' stabilizing mechanism worked dysfunctional inducing protective reflex contractions and pain.
Shelly is now sound, calm, cooperative and scheduled to go back home in two weeks. Julie spent a full week at the center learning how to ride her newly sound horse. The experience went very well. Julie fully understood the concept and her skill allowed her to ride her horse very well. Julie is confident that she will be able to continue the horse reeducation and I agree with her. They will be reunited soon.
Mini cooper is her nick name because she is small surrounded by giants such as Chazot, Manchester, and Caesar. An accident turned her into a monster almost dangerous to handle. Victoria has been educated by a knowledgeable trainer and both knew that it was not a behavior problem. Victoria realized that the SOM approach was her horse's sole hope and decided to send her horse for reeducation. Yes it was a problem of torsion in the thoracic vertebrae that rendered mini cooper disconnected in her back. The physical pain created by the two problems triggered her reactions. One month in her reeducation, mini cooper is now sound, exploring comfortable gaits and behaving with great intelligence and kindness.
The horse are trained every week days and exclusively by Jean Luc. Once their education or reeducation is advanced, we encourage the rider to come and learn how to ride their new horse. When the rider feels confident that he or she will be able to carry on the recovery program, the horse goes back home.
We only take three horses at the time as reeducation demands diligence and time. The rider has to be prepared for changes. Successful reeducation cannot be done applying the principles of riding and training that created the problem.
The monthly fee, including the rider's lessons is $2800 per month (training and boarding). We ask for a deposit of $1000.00 which cement the official reservation. The rest, $1800 is paid at the arrival of the horse. Payments can be made by check (Science of Motion LLC), or through our Paypal account.
For more information about our requirements about vaccination, worming and other issues please contact us. email@example.com, or 706 485 1217
Due to the limited number of availabilities, we encourage you to contact us rapidly for scheduling.
I recently sent my 12yo OTTB mare (Grace) to Jean Luc for training. It was by far, the single best thing I have done for Grace since she became mine 8 years ago.
I sent her to Jean Luc asking him to help her to stop leaning on the bit. Her problems were just as you might imagine. Among other things, she grabbed the bit strongly, contracted her back, had many compensating behaviours like leaning so heavily on her left shoulder it bulged out. She was very stiff in her body. Her transitions were uncomfortable to say the least. We rarely asked for canter because it seemed to cause her such discomfort. She was stiff and somewhat reactive when her back was palpitated.
She is a kind, good mare, very smart with an excellent work ethic and tries her best but there were limits to what she was willing to do because of her body discomforts. She had raced and been a Hunter prior to her current dressage work. She has a couple of mild "kissing spine" areas so it is key to her long term well being that she consistently lift the back instead of contracting it.
Jean Luc worked with her for 4 months. And he worked a miracle as far as I am concerned. Grace could be the poster child for Jean Luc's approach that says correct work resolves body problems.
First and foremost, he realized and taught us that she was fearful of pressure on the bit. He taught us that if the hands stay still and are simply used to feel what she is thinking and NOTHING else, she would relax into her work and become soft and light. He worked with her to educate her back and to encourage her to become light and balanced. His approach was always patient and calm. When she made mistakes, he simply worked to help her thru it, never becoming annoyed and never, ever using the bit for correction but instead thinking about what caused the error and using correct balance and tone in his own body to help her learn.
She is home now. She looks fabulous. Her total body muscling is phenomenal and proportionate. She stands SQUARE! Her attitude is exceptionally happy and calm. We believe this is because she feels really good. She is lovely in her work and so long as we "never, never, never pull" (quote from Jean Luc) on her mouth, we can get her to be balanced and light and her work can continue here at home. It is lovely and I am so very grateful.
Some personal learning that I think is worth sharing:
First, it takes longer than you might think to reeducate and change a horse's long held habits and protections. What we originally targeted to be a 2 month endeavor I decided to extend to 4 months. Trying to force the training into the shorter time frame would have frightened Grace and success would have been limited.
Secondly, do not underestimate the need for the human/rider component to change. And of course change of long held habits is tough for us humans too. So expect to need to reeducate yourself to ride differently. This does not happen in a minute, so true commitment and planning are required.
And finally, expect that Jean Luc's methods are not mainstream and you will meet with some negative chatter from the surrounding horsey world. However, I encourage you to shut them out and give this approach the time it needs to work. Grace is proof positive it works!
In hind sight, my only regret is that I didn't let Grace stay for another month or 2 of training.
Downingtown, Pa.
Hello! I am writing you on behalf of Jean Luc (JLC) and Helyn Cornille with Science of Motion. I have personally known Jean Luc since I was about 10 years old! He is a wonderful person with a talent that is like no other! He has the ability to correct horses issues biomechanically rather than with harsh medical treatments that only mask the symptoms - they do not correct the problem.
Originally, I sent my mare Opal, whom was six at the time, up to him for some basic balance work and re-education of her movement. We were having extreme behavioral issues with her to the point that she was at times violent. She would become violent when I would ask her to trot or turn to the right. She did have an accident in the pasture when she was 3 years old, which caused her to create imbalances and incorrect compensations with her body to handle the discomfort. I sent her to JLC for three months. He changed who she was. She was able to move comfortably and willingly. Don't get me wrong, she still had a long way to go, but she had improved so drastically, that I was in shock. I wanted to send Opal back to him for more training. I wanted more!
I had JLC come to my farm in July of 2013. I had Opal home for about a month to a month and a half at that point. Diva, Opal's mom was diagnosed with bilateral ring bone (which is very rare) at the age of 11. We tried injections of cortisone and hylauronic acid, we did acupuncture, massage, corrective shoeing, more corrective shoeing, stall rest, pain medication -- you name it, we did it with no expense spared. My vets informed me that it was time to send Diva to surgery for her ring bones or euthanize her because she was in so much pain and had no quality of life. They weren't sure she would survive surgery. She was overweight because she developed ulcers easily and had to be fed regularly, but she could NOT walk so she couldn't exercise. She was put on thyroid medication to lose weight so she would survive the surgery! There were two surgeries involved eight weeks apart. Each surgery was going to be quite extensive with eight weeks of a full leg cast and over a year of in stall recovery. The vet had never done a bilateral ring bone surgery and wasn't sure she would survive both being done - she would likely founder. I know my mare -- she would not have survived the surgeries, but I was going to give her all I had. JLC left Sunday night. On Monday morning, I was taking Diva to surgery and Opal back to JLC for more training. When he looked at her, he said he MAY be able to help her and it was worth a try to avoid surgery. So, I put 100% of my faith into JLC and cancelled her surgery. I drove both of my girls up to his farm in Georgia in July, and they are still there! Amazingly, Diva is taking sound steps in the pasture and while being RIDDEN under saddle!!! She is doing exceptionally well and gets better every day. Each time he works with her, she takes more sound steps. Her recovery will be slow, but it is steady and she is comfortable. She has quality of life. She even plays in the pasture again! Opal is doing great too! She is moving more balanced every day and is building muscle. She is getting ready to begin her canter work (mommy would like for that to happen)...I should say - when she is ready, she will begin her canter work!
As for the care that they get at their farm...it is exceptional! They are fed five times per day. They always have hay in front of them with clean water. The feed and hay that are provided are top of the line and are of high quality. I even took hay home with me when I brought Opal home the first time! Helyn and JLC are constantly in the barn. They do night checks (with a 10pm feeding) often times up to 11pm at night! They have video cameras on every stall that record the horses. They provide a ton of carrots as treats and give each horse individual attention and love. Since the day I purchased Diva when she was 2 and I delivered Opal 7 years ago, they have never been out of my sight. They have always lived with me. They are the only people I trust with my horses. The only ones I would trust to be around them and to train them. There is no violence or yelling or anger. Everything is inviting and accepting. Patience and slow movements are always executed! Everything there is sweet, calm, and patient. The people that they hire to help with the stall care/horse care are always monitored and treat the horses with the same care they do.
When JLC had come to my farm, he looked at my gelding Flame who had some injuries from the race track. He was always uncomfortable. With the exercises JLC gave me, I was able to show him how to move comfortably. He was able to gallop, canter, rear, and buck while he played in the pasture!!!! Something he had not done in years! Sadly, he passed away 9 days ago - and he looked the best he had ever looked!!!!!
If you have any hesitation at all to send your horse to JLC, please know that the horse is going into the best hands possible. He allows the horse to learn to move in a way that is biomechanically correct and comfortable for them. He saved Diva's life - that I am 100% positive about. When I was there in November, I sat on Diva....that was one of the happiest moments that I have had in a long time. He defeated the odds of all the vets I have met. He is a miracle worker - but it is because he has done an incredible about of research regarding the equine body mechanics.
Be prepared. He will change your entire way of thinking about horses. Your entire way of thinking about how they move biomechanically, how they exist emotionally. Horses live in the moment. They live moment to moment -- this changed how I ride because I no longer think about what happened three minutes ago under saddle because they aren't thinking about it either! He asks them to think and to have emotions. He asks them to be a horse!!!!! He changed certian aspects of how I ride...and I'm much more comfortable. My back injury is doing significantly better as well. They have an in-hand therapy course that I would highly recommend. It helps me to understand what he is teaching my horses and myself when I go to get lessons on them from him. I will be forever grateful to JLC and Helyn with Science of Motion because they provided Flame with a comfortable end to his life, and have given Diva her life back, and have given me a beautiful mover in my baby! The suspension she has now is incredible! She floats above the ground when she moves. Its breathtaking!!! Victoria Pass

Bureaucratic complexity and impacts of corruption in utilities
This paper explores how the relationship between bureaucratic complexity and corruption affects the performance in utilities. We observe considerable variation in the performance of the utilities across countries, even across countries which appear to be relatively similar. Our hypothesis is that corruption plays an important role in explaining this observed difference in performance. In particular, corruption coupled with a complex regulatory structure can have negative effects on performance. The analysis points at the importance of considering the institutional framework and institutional quality when introducing new bureaucratic procedures, as the same set of policy advice will work differently in different countries. We measure bureaucratic complexity by the number of procedures needed for starting a business from the Doing Business Database provided by the World Bank.

WikiPBX is a PBX Web interface for FreeSWITCH. Multiple "accounts" are supported per server instance: each account is effectively a completely independent PBX. Configuration is layered so that XML files go on top of what is stored in the database. This allows you to use a database, but stays out of your way if you choose to use flat files. Extensions, SIP endpoints, and gateways can be configured via a Web interface. Live calls can be viewed, hanged up, and transferred. Call history (CDR records) can be viewed over the Web interface. There is a Web interface for managing IVRs. "Sound clips" can be easily recorded for use in dialplan or IVRs. Audio or text-to-speech can be injected into live calls.

The desktop application works whether or not the user has connected to email Inboxes. It supports Gmail and Google Apps, free.fr, and Yahoo mail accounts. Up to five accounts may be used. Kwaga BirdsEye automatically detects and prioritizes the people the recipient has already communicated with in the past (a.k.a. "trusted sources").
Ngspice is a mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator based on three open source software packages: Spice3f5, Cider1b1, and Xspice. Spice3 is the most famous and widely used circuit simulator. Cider is mixed-level simulator that includes Spice3f5 and adds DSIM, a device simulator. Cider couples the circuit level simulator to the device simulator to provide greater simulation accuracy (at the expense of greater simulation time). Xspice is an extension to Spice3 that provides code modeling support and simulation of digital components through an embedded event driven algorithm.
cw is a non-intrusive real-time ANSI color wrapper for common Unix-based commands. It is designed to simulate the environment of the commands being executed, so that if a person types 'du', 'df', 'ping', etc. in their shell it will automatically color the output in real-time according to a definition file containing the color format desired. It has support for wildcard match coloring, tokenized coloring, headers/footers, case scenario coloring, command-line- dependent definition coloring, and includes over 50 pre- made definition files.

It took a while for me to get pregnant with my second son; 6 long months and one early miscarriage...
The Birth of Jade
April 2, 2003... My water broke at 11:00 am, I hadn't had any contractions yet, but I knew he would be born today. I called my husband first, then my midwife, my doula, and my best friend. Within minutes my contractions were 2 minutes apart and very intense. My husband arrived in 20 minutes with our midwife only moments behind him.
I had just gotten out of the shower when she arrived. As I was kneeling on the floor comfortably leaning on my husband, she gently and quietly listened to our baby's heartbeat, reassuring us that everything was normal. Our doula arrived & began filling our tub. We knew this baby wasn't going to take long. Before I knew it I wanted to get in the birthtub, but more than anything I didn't want my husband to leave my side! With the help of our midwife & doula he didn't have to!
12 noon I was in the tub, very thankful for the relief the water gave me. I began to feel a bit overwhelmed with the intensity of my labor... this made me realized that I was going to push soon... that's how everyone feels just before their babies are born. Next thing I know I'm pushing, I glance at the clock... 12:20, then 12:30, I could feel my baby's head emerging from my body, it was amazing to be the one to touch him first! My husband was the 2nd.
12:48pm My 3rd child was born! What joy! My other two were born prematurely in the hospital, this was my 1st full term pregnancy & he was born safely & comfortably at home surrounded by his family! My children rushed inside (a friend picked them up at school) just as he began to cry, their faces alive with wonder & amazement at this new person, their new brother! No one takes him away from us... he's held by me, then my husband, my children, my friend, and our midwife.
I'm helped into bed with my new baby. Food is prepared as my husband & I cuddle in our bed together absorbing this miraculous moment in our lives, thankful for the gift of this child and for the blessing of being able to have our baby at home!

Table tennis is a sport where players use bats to hit balls over a net. Also known as ping pong, the game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Players must allow a ball played towards them to bounce once on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least one time. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules.
At professional level, the sport is really fast. The ball travels at speeds of 100mph and is struck more than 180 times in a minute - about three shots a second! If you don't have the real thing play it on your dining room table or use one of the outdoor tables popping up in parks. Ping pong is a fun activity anyone can do.

As in previous post, we (parents,23yr. Old son) will spend 3 days in Hamburg with friends end of Aug. & then fly Sun night to Nurnberg. New plan hopefully more realistic!
Mon.late am to Rothenburg. Night Watchman Tour eve.
Tues. early afternoon to Mittenwald for 2 or 3 nights
Wed./Thurs. that area depending on weather: Linderhof, Zugspitze, Partklamm Gorge
Either Thurs eve or Fri am to Munich; Visit Nymphenburg, maybe Dachau and Munich itself

I know this is still a lot to do but may never get there again but am I still unrealistic?
Pros / Cons of going to Munich Thurs eve vs Fri am? Maybe better drive Fri straight to
Best route around Garmisch to get to main sights?

Even though I routinely use a GPS when I rent a car in Europe it is always helpful IMO to have some sort of printed map if for no other reason than to orient yourself.
Sometimes any GPS and anywhere will provide a route which isn't always the best one. For example, here at home when I input an address the GPS sometimes provides a route which I know is a lot longer, etc., so yes get a map and you can easily get one at local larger bookstores (in the US anyway).
You do NOT need a car IN Munich and I would get rid of that right away to save money and fuel and parking bills, etc, as well as the overall hassle.
You need to remember that public transport in Munich as in other places is fast, convenient, and easy to use even if you are not used to having such where you live.
For example, you can take a tram to within easy walking distance of the Nymphenburg and why use a car when all you are doing is getting from A to B? Same with getting to the MUC airport; there are two S-Bahn lines which take you directly to the terminal.
You can also use a combo of S-Bahn trains and a local bus to get within about a block of the Dachau entrance.
Cars are great and they provide lots of flexibility but your own MIND is great and can provide you just as much flexibility with a lot less stress.

Are you renting a car in Nurnburg?

Mon.late am to Rothenburg. Night Watchman Tour eve.
That's fine in my opinion.
Tues. early afternoon to Mittenwald for 2 or 3 nights
Wed./Thurs. that area depending on weather: Linderhof, Zugspitze, Partklamm Gorge.
Totaly doable.
Either Thurs eve or Fri am to Munich; Visit Nymphenburg, maybe Dachau and Munich itself.
I'm biased and would rather have more time in a place like Mittenwald than Munich. To travel Thurs. eve. or Fri. morning should be based on your preferences.
Just to note.. as having a car IN Munich IS a hassle, if you wanted to, you could drop the car in Garmisch and train to Munich.
Sun am fly home
Getting to the sights you have listed is easy. There is no "route around Garmisch" to travel.
I would get a map (we use Michelin from Barnes and Noble) now and look it over and plan routes BEFORE leaving home.
In short, I think your plan is realistic and not too much.

Thank you; yes, we are renting the car in Nurnberg. Right now we actually have 3 nights reserved in Munich: 2 w/ i city limits west of city and last night by airport . Original plan was to return car sometime later Sat., check in to hotel and maybe out for one last dinner. I like idea of 1 more night in Mittenwald so that now leaves 2 nights in 2 places by Munich. Flight is 9 am so want to be able to get to airport Ok. If we return car early, I think it be hard to have all our stuff to different places. My son and I travel very light; not so with husband. We have parking at the first Munich hotel and I think rental rate may be one week. Hotel is not far from Nymphenburg so we could go there first thing Fri am, then check in and use public transport around city. Use car just to get to airport area later Sat. And return it that night. Make any sense?? Have to think about this and now 2 hotels at end.
Report Abuse
Hi again,
I don't know if staying IN Munich and then by the airport makes sense to me, but to each his/her own. I'm sure what we've done on a past trip wouldn't make much sense to some, but it worked for us.
We stayed our night before an early am. flight in Erding, 20 min. from the airport. Drove from Mittenwald to Erding, dropped my wife and luggage at the Best Western Park Hotel around 4pm. I drove to the airport, dropped the car and took the hotel shuttle back to the Park Hotel. We had dinner, walked the old town and then took a taxi at 5am to the airport. Hotel arranged the taxi (20 Euro for the ride) for us, as it was too early for the hotel shuttle bus. I didn't want to bother with the car return so early in the am. That said, the car return at the airport is pretty easy and quick.
Report Abuse
I do agree; if we are only in Munich 2 nights 2 hotels are silly! The one (Hotel Brack) is by a U Bahn stop so although it is not at the airport if we return car after checking in there, we could take U and S to airport. Flight is actually 9:30am. Hotel would be convenient for touring Friday & Sat. It is not far from Nymphenburg so could go there from Mittenwald Friday, check in, return car and go into Munich. Have to see if they have room! I wonder if there are less trains on a Sunday am, though. I am sure hotel could guide us.

I don't think your plans are overly ambitious at all.
Sometimes I wonder how some of my fellow Fodorites travel. I tend to to squeeze in everything I can during my waking hours; not sit back and drink it all on. It all depends on your personal comfortable pacing. My family and I have seen both Fussen castles, the Wieskirche, Ettal Abbey and dinner in Garmisch in a single day. And have done it more than once. Then again, I'm not the type to pause for ten minutes at every picture in a museum or drag out dinner for 3 hours or more.
I strongly suggest you take some time to drive North from Garmisch up to and through Ettal. Stop for beer at the Abbey. Then go just a few miles North of Ettal to Oberammergau. Beautiful little town with plenty of nice woodworking shops and more unique souvenirs than those found in Munich and Garmisch. You could then return toward Ettal and take Route 23 through the Ettaler Forest past Ludwig's Linderhof Castle, then loop around the Plansee (beautiful alpine lake), through Reutte, Austria and on to Fussen. I recommend this route to my friends doing BMW European Delivery because it's a great way to break in a brand new car - gorgeous scenery, plenty of spots to stop and take photos, twisty nearly deserted roads and less than 100 miles round trip. Very doable.

We are planning to do as much as we can...just didn't want to keep listing it all! Actually, all you mentioned is on the list. Just want to also see what types of things we see up north and weather will determine outside trips to luge or gorge. Also would still like to stop in Ulm on way from Rothenburg but will be flexible...I had posted an earlier post with many ideas...my husband takes hundreds of pictures so this plays a role time wise too! Just don't want to rush so much we forget to smell the roses and not appreciate natural beauty the way I do much of the time working two jobs in the NYC area! Thanks for all your thoughts. The folks on the Costa Rica forum helped us plan 2 fabulous trips. Looking forward to this one.

There was a knock on the door and Louis got up to get it.
"Hey Lou," he said letting her in.
"Hey," she replied.
"This is Jessie," he said gesturing to me. I waved shyly.
"Well I brought the stuff you asked for," she said putting down a bag of stuff.
"That's wonderful, thanks Louise," Louis said hugging her.
"Alright get off me please," she said pushing him off.
"Bye Lou," He said pushing her out if the room.
"Alright let's do this," he said pouring the contents of the bag onto his bed.
He got out the clothes first. They looked like old people clothes. I looked at them in disgust.
"Why are we wearing these?"
"It's a disguise so no one will recognize me," he said.
I nodded and started to get dressed. After we got dresses I helped him out on his white wig. I had a grey wig that was pulled into a bun.
I looked at the makeup and it was costume make up to make wrinkles. We out it all in and took a picture of ourselves.
"I'm putting that on twitter when we get back," Louis said laughing.
We left the hotel and went on a walk.
"Want to go to the mall?" Louis asked.
We went to Hollister. I saw a dress that looked perfect.
"Oh my gosh it's beautiful!!" I exclaimed, grabbing it off the rack.
I went to the dressing room to try it on. It was tan and sparkly with a little but if lace at the bottom.
"You look gorgeous!" Louis said when I walked out wearing the dress.
"Thanks," I said blushing. Then I remembered we were still wearing the old people disguises. I looked around and I was getting odd looks from other customers because I was and "old lady" trying on a youth dress.
"I'll pay for it," Louis told me at the register.
"It's ok I'll pay," I said.
"No I insist," he said pulling out his wallet. "Ready to go home?" Louis asked after he paid.
"Yup," I replied.
We got home and I saw a notification on twitter
@Louis_Tomlinson: @BrasherE and I having some fun with Lou's costumes
Then there was a picture of us dressed up in our costumes. I retweeted it then turned my phone off.
"I'm gonna go home, bye Lou," I said hugging him.
"Bye, drive safe," he said smiling.

China demanded an apology and compensation from Japan on Saturday after it released a Chinese fishing boat captain held more than two weeks after a collision near disputed islands that has triggered the worst spat between the Asian neighbors in years.
Japanese authorities released Zhan Qixiong, 41, early Saturday morning and he was flown home by chartered plane to Fuzhou, the capital of China's southeastern Fujian province, the offical Xinhua News Agency reported.
State broadcaster China Central Television showed footage of Zhan walking off the plane around 4 a.m., smiling and holding up his fingers in a victory sign. He was greeted by family members bearing flowers and a small group of government officials.
"I firmly support the Chinese government's stance. Diaoyu islands belong to China. It's legal that I go there to fish but it's illegal that they detained me. I did not violate the law," he told CCTV.
Though his release is intended to defuse a diplomatic spat sparked when Japan arrested the captain after his trawler collided with two Japanese patrol boats near islands in the East China Sea claimed by both countries, tensions remain high.
China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement repeating its "strong protest" over the boat crew's detention, reiterating its "indisputable" claim to the islands, and seeking an apology from Japan.
"It is unlawful and invalid for Japan to detain, investigate or take any form of judicial measures against the Chinese fishermen and trawler. The Japanese side must make an apology and compensation for this incident," the statement said.
Calls to Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan's office went unanswered Saturday, and no one authorized to speak to the media answered calls to the Foreign Ministry.
Zhan's release came after intense pressure from China, which suspended ministerial-level dialogue with Tokyo and postponed talks on developing disputed undersea gas fields. Earlier this week, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao had sternly threatened "further action" against Japan if it did not immediately release the captain.
On Friday, Kan, who was in New York for a U.N. summit also attended by Wen, called for calm discussions between China and Japan in the wake of the tense territorial spat.
But an editorial Saturday in Japan's nationally circulated Yomiuri newspaper criticized the captain's release as "a political decision that put the mending of relations as a priority" and urged the Japanese government to fully explain its decision to the people.
"Needless to say, the Senakaku Islands are part of Japan's territory. The government must continue to assert this view both domestically and abroad," it said.
Zhan was arrested on Sept. 8 after the collision off the uninhabited chain of islands called Diaoyu or Diaoyutai in Chinese and Senkaku in Japanese. Located 120 miles (190 kilometers) east of Taiwan, the islands are controlled by Japan, but also claimed by Taiwan and China.
Prosecutors had detained and questioned the captain while they decided whether to press charges. His 14-member crew and ship were returned to China.
The captain's arrest, and the territorial dispute behind it, stirred nationalistic sentiment in China and Japan and threatened to undermine business ties between their intertwined economies - the world's second- and third-largest.
On Thursday, Beijing said it was investigating four Japanese suspected of illegally filming military targets and entering a military zone without authorization. There were also reports that China had suspended Japan-bound shipments of rare earth metals crucial in advanced manufacturing.
Four employees of Fujita Corp., a Japanese construction company, were being questioned by Chinese authorities, the company said. The men were working to prepare a bid for a project to dispose of chemical weapons abandoned in China by the Japanese military during World War II.
Meanwhile, Japanese trading company officials said that starting Tuesday, China had halted exports to Japan of rare earth elements, which are essential for making superconductors, computers, hybrid electric cars and other high-tech products. Japan imports 50 percent of China's rare earth shipments.
China's Trade Ministry denied reports that Beijing is tightening curbs on exports of rare earths to Japan, but Japan's trade minister, Akihiro Ohata, said he has "information" that China's exports to some Japanese trading houses have been stopped.
The territorial dispute over the islands is one of many that has strained ties between Tokyo and Beijing. Japan annexed the island chain in 1895, saying no nation exercised a formal claim over them. The islands, lying roughly midway between Okinawa and Taiwan, were administered by the United States after World War II until they were returned to Tokyo in 1972.
Washington has signaled its intention to protect its interests in those waters and to keep them open for commerce, drawing China's irritation by urging it to resolve the disputes.
The U.S. praised Japan's decision to release the captain. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters Friday that the U.S. hopes the decision will ease tensions between the two longtime Asian rivals.
However, authorities in Okinawa said they wouldn't officially close the case - leaving room for some ambiguity that would allow both countries to save face.
Associated Press writers Malcolm Foster, Mari Yamaguchi, Shino Yuasa and Jay Alabaster in Tokyo and Alexa Olesen and Anita Chang in Beijing contributed to this report.

The comments come on the back of a video which made the rounds recently showing President John Mahama allegedly sharing a paper-like material that looked like money to some traders in the market during a campaign tour in the Greater Accra region.
The comments come on the back of a video which made the rounds recently showing President John Mahama allegedly sharing a paper-like material that looked like money to some traders in the market during a campaign tour in the Greater Accra region.
READ ALSO: Mahama confirms sharing money, but on compassionate...
The camera did not capture what exactly the paper-like item was, but many believe that the president was sharing money with the traders.
The president has since denied the claims, saying he only gave money to a little girl who had lost her items after being pushed by the cheering crowd amidst the jostling during the campaign tour, the Daily Post Newspaper reported.
But the NPP group, the Truth Forum have insisted that the president engaged in vote buying, leading to "waste of the county's resources".
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday September 27, a member of group, Yaw Buaben Asamoah, said "the infamous picture of His Excellency President Mahama stuffing cash in the pocket of a chief on a street in the full glare of the public shows the depths to which the Presidency has, in desperation, sunk in pursuit of a phantom political desire. The real question, Mr President, is whether you are going to pay all of us to vote for you," Mr Buaben asked.
He said the living conditions of Ghanaians have worsened "due primarily to the misalignment of resources away from essential services and priorities to high rent-seeking projects."
According to him, Ghanaians "have learnt that the vote-buying cannot crowd out incompetent economic management, provide jobs for the jobless, reduce electricity bills, reduce excessive taxes, restore teacher and nurse trainee allowances, pay school fees, or ensure a functional NHIS."
He argued that the poor use of public finances, if not checked, could throw government's expenditure out of gear by the end of the 2016 elections.
"Overspending in excess of GHS8.7 billion by the end of the year included but was not limited to unexplained expenditures of about GHS350 million from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, GHS650 million by the Office of the President or Office of Government Machinery and GHS60 million for the Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology, about GHS300 million at NADMO as well as GHS112 million on capacity building not to talk about some $100 million dollars improperly squandered at GYEEDA," Mr Buabeng said.

A supplement to Innovation Outlook: Offshore Wind (IRENA, 2016)
Today's offshore wind turbines, rooted to the seabed by monopile or jacket foundations, are restricted to waters less than 50 metres deep. This rules out sites with the strongest winds and, often, access to big markets. Floating foundations, by eliminating the depth constraint and easing turbine set-up, could open the way for power generation from deeper waters.
Motivation to develop floating foundations
Some of the largest potential markets, such as Japan and the United States, possess few shallow-water sites suitable for offshore wind development. Floating foundations could be game changers in this regard.
Floating foundations offer the offshore wind industry two decisive opportunities:
- They allow access to deep-water sites. In water deeper than 50 metres, they offer access to large areas with a strong wind resource and proximity to population centres. For some countries, such as those with a narrow continental shelf, floating foundations offer the only opportunity for large-scale offshore wind deployment.
- They ease turbine set-up. In mid-depth conditions (30-50 metres), they may in time offer a lower-cost alternative to fixed-bottom foundations, given the potential for standardisation of foundation designs and the use of low-cost, readily available installation vessels.
In addition, floating foundations generally offer environmental benefits compared with fixed-bottom designs due to less-invasive activity on the seabed during installation.
Current status of floating foundations
Floating foundations are already proven in harsh operating environments. The main concepts for offshore wind power are well known in the oil and gas sector, where they are deployed commercially at a large scale.
Platform designs for offshore wind, however, require adaptation to accommodate different dynamic characteristics and a distinct loading pattern. The same process has already occurred to a great extent for fixed-bottom foundations, including monopiles, jackets and gravity-base designs.
Commercialisation of floating wind farms is anticipated between 2020 and 2025. The first full-scale prototypes for floating wind turbines have been in operation for several years. Demonstration continues for new floating foundation concepts.
The first floating wind farm, with 30 megawatts (MW) of power generation capacity at more than 100 metres (m) water depth, is scheduled to start operating off the coast of Scotland by the end of 2017. By 2020, based on progress seen in the market, three to five additional foundation designs should have been demonstrated at full scale (2 MW or larger).
The three main concepts for floating foundations are spar-buoy, semi-submersible and tension leg platform, as illustrated in figure 1. Variants on these also exist, including the mounting of multiple turbines onto a single floating foundation.
Table 1 describes each of the three concepts, including their pros and cons and the status of first movers, fast followers and others developing the technology.
Deployment and Cost-of-Energy Goals
To contribute significantly to the global energy mix in the coming decades, floating offshore wind systems need to become less costly and, in turn, to be widely deployed.
If market uptake is too slow, then the supply chain will not materialise, and costs will not come down rapidly enough for floating offshore wind to keep up with cost-of-energy reductions anticipated in other technologies. As with any technology, there is strong interaction between market volume and cost.
Barriers to Deployment
Commercialising and deploying new technology in the energy sector is always a big challenge. It involves a conservative business sector, requires large quantities of capital, takes considerable time and affects a broad range of stakeholders. In some cases, it requires cultural change.
While many of the technical principles of floating offshore wind have been demonstrated, barriers to large-scale deployment remain. Floating offshore wind technology, even more than its fixed-bottom counterpart, faces two major, and inter-related, challenges:
- The magnitude of the commercial challenge, in terms of being investable and finding investors;
- A mismatch between innovation "horsepower" and corporate staying power.
Being investable and finding an investor
About 20 players are already involved in moving floating foundation technologies from the early-concept stage through to commercial deployment. This maturation is likely to require another 15 years, and there are no existing markets to tap for commercial-scale floating offshore wind technologies.
For any given player, today's pre-commercial projects (single demonstrator, 5- to 10-turbine pilot, then first utility-scale project of 200 MW-plus) could require a total investment (in excess of market-rate project revenues) of hundreds of millions of dollars over the lifetime of the projects. Even the operating costs for the floating foundation technology company itself (staff and third-party costs to develop and take the technology to market) are tens of millions of dollars over a 10- to 15-year period.
The time needed to attain profitability is long, and the sums of money required are large, considering the uncertainty in the eventual market. Market potential depends on the relative advancement of offshore wind compared to other forms of electricity generation and on addressing specific technical risks related to floating offshore wind. As a result, the financial profile of a floating foundation technology company does not match the needs of most private investors.
In a few cases, private investors are bearing the technology company's operating costs and a small portion of above-market pre-commercial project costs. Similarly, the French, Japanese and Scottish governments, along with the European Commission, are stepping forward with project-support mechanisms.
At present, however, there is no clear path for the leading technologies to gain enough support to reach utility-scale commercial deployment. The fast followers that are presently preparing for demonstration projects have a possibly even greater challenge, since the first movers tend to capture and consume pre-commercial project support.

The screen of the phone would just show a constant loading and when you tap the MORE icon they would say gallery has closed unexpectedly. To test whether its due to the pictures, i even sent the same pic twice, once it went through with no probs but the other could not be viewed at all. Hope someone can help me figure out whats the problem whether its software issue or the phone itself.
