Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is a severe, chronic inflammatory bowel disease. It causes inflammation, ulcers, and bleeding in the digestive tract. It usually affects the end portion of the small intestine called the ileum. However, any part of the digestive tract can be affected, from the mouth to the anus.

The cause of Crohn's disease is not known. Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, seem to run in some families. Some researchers think that it is due to a reaction to a virus or bacteria that causes the immune system to overreact and damage the intestines.
Symptoms include:
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps and pain
- Rectal bleeding
- Weight loss
- Fatigue, weakness
- Nausea
- Fever
- Mouth sores
- Sores, abscesses in the anal area
- Antibiotics
Complications of untreated Crohn's disease may lead to:
- Fistulas—abnormal connections between the intestine and other organs or tissues, such as the bladder, vagina, or skin
- Intestinal obstruction
- Liver disease
- Bowel perforation
- Bleeding
- Kidney stones
- Gallstones
- Osteoporosis
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. If you are diagnosed with Crohn's disease, testing can be used to monitor the disease and assess complications.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Stool tests
Imaging tests evaluate the intestines and surrounding structures. These may include:
- Upper gastrointestinal series
- Lower gastrointestinal series
- Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- Colonoscopy
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- Ultrasound
- X-ray
A biopsy may be taken during some of the these tests. A biopsy is a sample of the intestinal tissue that can be examined under a microscope.
Treatment may include:
Dietary Changes
Your doctor may advise that you avoid foods that trigger symptoms. These foods are different for each person. They may include:
- Dairy foods due to lactose intolerance
- Highly seasoned foods
- High-fiber foods
There are many types of medications that are used to treat Crohn's disease. Examples of these medications include:
- Aminosalicylate medications, such as sulfasalazine, mesalamine, and olsalazine
- Anti-inflammatory medications, such as prednisone, methylprednisolone, and budesonide
- Immune modifiers, such as azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, and methotrexate
- TNF inhibitors, such as infliximab, adalimumab, and certolizumab
- Antibiotics, such as metronidazole, ampicillin, and ciprofloxacin
Very severe Crohn's may not improve with medications. You may be advised to have the diseased section of your intestine removed. The two remaining healthier ends of the intestine are then joined together. You are still at high risk for the disease returning.
Surgery may also be done if you have an obstruction or fistulas.

I am going to purchase a good laptop. Have about 5k USD for this. It is replacing my old IBM ThinkPad. I was thinking a MAC laptop, Sony Vaio, or maybe something comparable. This will be my security laptop.
The requirements I can think of
-Linux runs perfect
-Will use my GPS (USB) and Senao PCMCIA Nic
-Would like to have a serial interface for Cisco console (or maybe need a special USB cable?)
-Biometric login to protect my corporation passwords
-Gig Ethernet over Cat5
-Long Battery life
-Light in physical weight
Can anyone think of anything else I would require?
Do I need good memory for Kismet, IRS, Cain and Abel, etc? Or can I sacrifice Processor speed and desktop memory for weight.

That is the same line of logic that allowed the inquisition to exist. The attitude which Dogchain has about cheering you on is the danger we face when science is made popular and simply accepted. If you have 1000 truths and they are based upon one lie, in science all those truths are now in question.
Honestly your mater of fact attitude that science has somehow proven anything about the soul or existence of mental consciousness after death of the corporeal form is unsubstantiated. It is not an affront to scientific method to say, "I DON'T KNOW". Many say it IS the beginning of all wisdom and knowledge.
So we reach an impasse where the science equipment is not advanced far enough to research the hypothesis. We also can not discern if first hand accounts are truly valid thru associative study with the visible or detectable universe. So instead of discussing the possibilities of alternate ideas summerland wants a personal debate club where he can show off his lawyer like skills and Dischain can play cheerleader. I would rather entertain multiple ideas as discuss merits instead of the grandstanding and bigotry others like to preform.
But then my degrees ARE in science not as a paralegal.

I don't know about you, but I think of my SharePoint servers almost like children. I've been known to brag them up before. I love hearing about when they do good things, and when someone says something bad about them I always leap to their defense, whether they deserve it or not. And like my children, I don't want bad things to happen to them. Fortunately it's much easier to make SharePoint servers behave than it is children, and SharePoint servers seem to bounce back more easily too. But no matter how we try, disasters do happen.
This is the first of two articles in which I cover the types of disasters that might befall your SharePoint servers and discuss ways to protect them from the cruel world around them. I also cover ways to recover from disasters, whether you've prepared for them or not. Although a disaster might strike your SharePoint farm at some point, with the information in these articles you'll be able to confidently recover your data and restore your farm to its former glory in no time. In this article I discuss disasters related to content deletion. I show different ways to prepare for this disaster, including ways to respond if it happens. In the next article, I'll cover disasters that revolve around hardware failure, including SharePoint servers, SQL Server machines, and your actual facility.
Before we get too far into our talk about disaster recovery, we need to agree on what a disaster is. Different types of disasters can affect your SharePoint servers. To be prepared for a disaster, you need to know what type of disaster you're preparing for. Of course in a perfect world you'd protect your SharePoint servers against all disasters. But unless you have one of those geese that lay golden eggs, you probably don't have the resources to take all the steps we'll cover. You'll most likely need to look at your budget and see which disasters you'll be able to protect your servers against.
Determining which Disasters to Plan For
Before we cover how to deal with the disasters that might be headed your way, we need to discuss how to determine which of them you want to protect against. Of course we all want to protect our SharePoint farms from all attacks, but because of budgetary and time constraints that's not always possible. If it's not possible in your environment, you need to give some thought to which disasters you want to protect against, so that you know what steps to take to protect yourself against them. The best way to do this is to discuss it with your IT management. Lay out the types of disasters, the processes for protecting against them, and the rough cost of each option. This will give you an idea where each option sits within your budget. Maybe you have more or less money than you thought you did for this project. Knowing the numbers helps.
Next, you should talk to your customers, the business units. Outline the different options with them and explain the costs. Maybe they're okay with not being able to do point-in-time recoveries, but maybe every minute of downtime costs them sales, which costs them money. Having the discussion with them makes sure you understand how they use SharePoint and what's important to them. It also helps them understand the costs and time associated with each disaster. If they must have five 9s of uptime, or point-in-time recoveries, then they'll know the associated costs and you'll be able to work together to make sure the money is found to achieve their goal.
After you determine which disasters to protect against, the terms need to be spelled out in a service level agreement. The SLA outlines many operational expectations, and disaster recovery is one of them. This agreement outlines the terms of service. For example, suppose someone demands that a file deleted at 3:30 a.m. must be recovered with all its contents. If the SLA says that the only files that can be recovered are ones that existed at midnight, then you have something to support you when you tell the customer you can't recover the file. The SLA sets everyone's expectations the same and can prevent hard feelings if IT can't do something a customer wants done.
Recovering Lost Content with the Recycle Bin
Probably the most frequent disaster in the SharePoint world is prematurely deleted content. This might not seem like a disaster-level problem, but trust me, it is—especially to the person who erroneously deleted the content. And depending on this person's location on the company's organizational chart, a disaster for him or her might also mean a disaster for you.
The good news is that although this is the most common disaster you'll encounter, it's also the easiest to deal with. Like SharePoint 2007 before it, SharePoint 2010 has a built-in Recycle Bin. This Recycle Bin captures deleted list items, documents, folders, lists, and document libraries. Although this seems pretty comprehensive, keep in mind that the Recycle Bin doesn't catch Web or site collection deletions (which I cover later). The Recycle Bin has two parts: the end user Recycle Bin and the administrator Recycle Bin.
The first stage of the Recycle Bin shows a user all the documents he or she has deleted in the current Web and gives the user the option of restoring those documents. Figure 1 shows how a site member sees the Recycle Bin. The Recycle Bin lists the items the user has deleted in a site, including the items' original locations and when they were deleted. From here a user can restore a document to its original location and get back to work on that important document. Although the documents are in the first-stage Recycle Bin, they count against the site collection's quota. Therefore, end users can also delete items from the first-stage Recycle Bin to free up space. At that point, users can no longer restore items and must call the Help desk—which is where the second stage of the Recycle Bin comes in.
Figure 1: SharePoint 2010's Recycle Bin
Unbeknownst to the end users, there's a second, secret Recycle Bin that's exposed only to site collection administrators. This Recycle Bin contains all the documents that every user has deleted in the site collection—and more important, it also contains all the documents that have been deleted from the first-stage Recycle Bin. This is where the SharePoint administrator can save users from themselves. If a user deletes a document and also deletes it from the first-stage Recycle Bin, it can still be restored from the second-stage or administrator Recycle Bin. Items in the administrator Recycle Bin also don't count against the site collection's quota. Those Microsoft folks thought of everything.
You need to be a site collection administrator to access the administrator Recycle Bin. To find it, open the first-stage Recycle Bin. Depending on which site template you're using, there's typically a link on the left navigation bar. If you're a site administrator, you'll see additional text that mentions the Site Collection Recycle Bin, with a link to it. When you click that link you'll be taken to the /_layouts/AdminRecycleBin.aspx page. This page has two links. One shows the contents of the first-stage, or end user, Recycle Bins. The second link, called Deleted from end user Recycle Bin, shows the second stage. Here you can see all the documents end users have deleted from the Recycle Bin. Restoring a document from here will restore it to its original location.
It's important to recognize that deleted items don't age out of the first stage to the second stage. They only show up in the second stage if they were deleted out of the first. If the web application settings are set to delete items from the Recycle Bin after 30 days, then they are gone for good out of both stages of the Recycle Bin. There are no tricks to get them back.
This setting and the rest of the Recycle Bin settings can be accessed by selecting Central Admin, Application Management, Managed Web Applications. Choose a web application and click General Settings in the ribbon. If you want to flex your PowerShell muscle, you can also modify these settings with the RecycleBinCleanupEnabled, RecycleBinEnabled, RecycleBinRetentionPeriod, and SecondStageRecycleBinQuota properties of your web application.
Other Tools for Recovering Content
How do you recover content after it leaves your Recycle Bin? That's a little trickier. To accomplish this task, you need some sort of backups. If you're not doing any type of backups right now, first, shame on you. Second, you're lucky you're reading this article. The very least you can do is back up all your SharePoint databases in SQL Server. Armed with those backups, you have several options for restoring content. If you're not familiar with how to do database backups in SQL Server, you can get a quick primer from my blog article "Scheduling SQL backups for SharePoint".
You have a few options if you're recovering content from databases. Which option you choose depends on your environment and what you're trying to recover. If you need to recover a deleted site collection or Web, it doesn't get any easier than the Central Administration unattached content database recovery option. You can see in Figure 2 that Central Administration has an entire tab dedicated to backup and restore. One of the options lets us access data in a SharePoint database that isn't mounted in SharePoint. You can use this option to back up data from a recovered database and restore it to your production environment. To do this, restore an old backup of a content database into SQL Server. Use a different name to make sure you don't overwrite the production version of the database when you're restoring your backup database. Then click Recover data from an unattached content database in Central Administration. Enter the name of the recovered database, select Browse Content, and click Next.
Figure 2: Using the Central Administration Backup and Restore option
From here we can browse to a site collection that exists in the restored content database. You can also export just a Web or list if you prefer. If you choose a site collection, the site collection is backed up as with Backup-SPSite or stsadm -o backup. If you choose a Web or list, the content is exported as with Export-SPWeb or stsadm -o export. When you click Next, you'll see a screen asking for a filename to save the backup or export file. It's important that you use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC), because the backup or export is done as a timer job and can run on any machine in your farm. When you click Start Backup, SharePoint will begin backing up or exporting the content you selected to the appropriate file. A backup job status page then opens to let you know how your backup is going. This page also has a Recovery Step column for recovering content. For site collections, use Restore-SPSite. For Webs and lists, use Import-SPWeb. When your backup finishes, use the correct command to restore your recovered content to either its original location or another location if you want to pull out individual items. The other location can be on the same farm or a separate farm. The only requirement is that the farm you recover to must be the same build number or later than the farm the backup is from.
If you have a second SharePoint 2010 farm, you can skip the unattached database steps and attach your restored content database to your second farm. The recovery farm must be at the same SharePoint build or later than the farm that created the database. If any solutions are needed to render the content, you'll likely need that solution on the recovery farm as well. Another often overlooked setting is managed paths. The web application you restore the database to must have any managed paths needed to render out the content you're trying to recover. After the database is attached to the recovery farm, you can use several techniques to obtain the desired content: You can perform backups or exports, you can download individual documents, and you can use Explorer View to obtain several documents at once.
I already touched on this topic briefly, but you can also use PowerShell to perform backups of individual site collections. The cmdlet to back up site collections is Backup-SPSite. Go to the SharePoint Management Shell and enter
Get-Help Backup-SPSite
to obtain usage information. For basic backups, you need to provide only two things: the URL of the site collection being backed up and the name of the file to back it up to. The file that the Backup-SPSite cmdlets writes will be a full fidelity backup of that site collection. This means the backup will contain the content plus its metadata (e.g., alerts, security, workflows). Like the content databases, this backup is completely portable. You can restore it to a different location in your farm or to a different farm altogether.
Although you probably wouldn't use this method as part of a disaster recovery strategy, it's a good alternative for performing one-off backups. Thanks to the awesomeness that is PowerShell, you can easily back up all the site collections in your farm with a single line. Again, this isn't a good enterprise disaster recovery technique, but it might come in handy once in a while.
Get-SPSite | ForEach-Object\\{$FilePath = "d:\backups\" + $_.Url.Replace("http://","").Replace("https://","").Replace("/","-").Replace(":","-") + ".bak" ; Backup-SPSite -Identity $_.Url -Path $FilePath\\}
This command will back up all the site collections in your farm to the D:\Backups folder on the server you run it on. We use the Replace() method to strip out parts of the URL that don't work in filenames (e.g., colons, slashes). Make sure your drive has enough space for the files before you run this command. You'd use Restore-SPSite to turn those files back into site collections.
Third-Party Options
As we've seen, SharePoint has a pretty good set of tools out of the box to help you prepare for content loss disasters and recover from them in the unlikely event that they do occur. However, there are also some good third-party solutions you should take a look at. These aren't full disaster recovery suites; I'll cover those in the next article. These are just some tools to augment the out-of-the-box tools I already discussed.
SharePoint Site Recycle Bin. When I covered the SharePoint Recycle Bin earlier, I mentioned that it doesn't protect against accidental Web or site collection deletion. I then explained how to recover Webs and sites from database backups, but this process can be a lot of work. Also, the restored Web or site collection will only be as current as the last backup. Fortunately there's a free tool to fill that gap. You can download the SharePoint Site Recycle Bin from the SharePoint Governance and Manageability website at governance.codeplex.com. This is a free download that adds Recycle Bin–type functionality to SharePoint. Before a Web or site collection can be deleted, SharePoint backs it up to a location in the file system. Then when the Help desk calls start rolling in, you can simply restore the Web or site collection from the backup. The only way this process could be easier is if SharePoint answered the phone, chatted up the customer, and restored the customer's content for you. (I hear that's coming in the next version.)
The setup for the SharePoint Site Recycle Bin is a little tricky, so make sure you read through the instructions before you start the installation. I also recommend trying it out in your test environment first to get a feel for the setup. Finally, make sure the location you save the backups to has enough space and is getting backed up itself (or not getting backed up—whichever fits your retention policies).
Idera's SQL virtual database. I covered several ways to use SQL Server database backups to recover deleted content. If you want to take your database recovery game up another notch, consider buying Idera's SQL virtual database. This software lets you mount a database backup in SQL Server without actually restoring the database, which saves time and drive space. Instead of restoring the database back to SQL Server, SQL virtual database attaches to the backup file and exposes the virtual database to SQL Server, giving you immediate access and not requiring the drive space for the restored MDF and LDF files. After the virtual database is mounted in SQL Server, you can use any of the methods I discussed to recover your content. This approach lets you keep more backups around on disk and lets you get your users' content back to them more quickly. For more information about SQL virtual database, go to Idera's SQL toolbox website.
AvePoint's DocAve Recovery Manager for SharePoint. We've discussed a couple of ways to recover documents from database backups. Although the process isn't bad, it's awfully manual. Wouldn't it be nice to have a tool that you could just point at a recovered database and select the document to recover? AvePoint has created just such a utility—and it's free! Go to AvePoint's website to download the DocAve Recovery Manager for SharePoint. As with any software, you should try it in a test environment first to work out the kinks before you unleash it on your production servers.
Wrapping It Up
A multitude of disasters could befall your SharePoint farm. To be a top-notch SharePoint administrator, you need to stay a step ahead of these disasters. In this article I discussed several ways to recover deleted content and get it back into your farm. These techniques will help you restore your users' content, no matter how hard they work to delete it. I'll take a look at some other types of disasters, such as machine and facility failure, in a follow-up article and discuss how to plan for them.

Commons Backs Gay Marriage In UK
MPs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the government's legislation for same-sex marriage in England and Wales.
At the conclusion of the Commons' first opportunity to debate the The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill, MPs voted by 400 to 175, a majority of 225, in favour of the legislation.
Prime Minister David Cameron has described the move as "an important step forward" that strengthens society.
But a number of Conservative MPs voted against the plans.
MPs' decision to back the bill at second reading signifies
that they approve with it in principle. The legislation will now proceed
to receive more detailed parliamentary scrutiny.

If you're a frequent visitor to Kiva or the Fellows blog, you have probably noticed that Kiva is constantly evolving. As an organization that just celebrated its fifth year and is experiencing tremendous expansion, Kiva is adding new field partners to keep up with the incredible capacity and desire for connection demonstrated by its lenders.
To that end, please join me in welcoming Women's Development Businesses as Kiva's newest field partner. Not only is WDB bringing its borrowers to the Kiva community, but it is also allowing Kiva lenders to connect with borrowers in a previously untapped country – that's right, as of this week Kiva lenders will now be able to connect with borrowers in South Africa!
So what goes on behind the scenes at a new Kiva partner, you may ask? How do these loans magically appear on Kiva? Once MFIs (microfinance organizations) are thoroughly vetted and approved for partnership, they must learn the ins and outs of Kiva. Earlier this month Kiva's regional Field Support Specialist led an intense training program at WDB to teach its staff and leadership about Kiva, its processes, and the basics of the partnership (well, maybe more than just basics).
Training is no simple task, and there's certainly no "one size fits all" approach for Kiva. Each MFI is different, thus each partnership must be structured appropriately to fit the needs of the organization and its clients.
Serving as a Fellow at WDB means that I have the privilege of working with local WDB staff here in KwaZulu-Natal to define and create best practices going forward. I can report first-hand that WDB is extremely excited about and proud of this new partnership, and everyone here has been working hard to begin posting loans to Kiva ASAP.
While its first Kiva loan was posted (and fully funded!) yesterday, WDB will soon begin adding more loans. Watch out for plenty of proud WDB borrowers on Kiva soon!
To help support this partnership, join the WDB lending team and lend to some of Kiva's first South African borrowers!
EB Moore is a KF13 working with Women's Development Businesses in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. She is excited to be helping Kiva lenders connect to borrowers in South Africa for the first time!

In most cases you will be sent instructions by email on how to track your delivery once your order has been completed. In some cases tracking information is not available. If you are concerned about the progress of your delivery the fastest way to get information is to contact the carrier and quote the tracking number. We can only see the same tracking information available to you.
What if I am not at home to accept delivery?
Australia Post and Toll typically require a signature upon delivery and our nominated couriers typically deliver only during business hours. So it is best to provide a shipping address that will be attended during business hours. If someone is not available to accept the goods the standard practice is to leave a card informing you how to collect at your local Post Office or for re-delivery.
You can put a short note on your order on the order checkout screen to provide delivery instructions, however Renovator Store cannot guarantee the carrier will observe these requests.
We can deliver to an Australia Post Parcel Locker
For a single item purchase you can easily arrange for delivery to an Australia Post parcel locker.

Product HintsINSTALLATION: 1. Screw the spikes into the number. Each house number comes with masonry plugs (2) and mounting spikes (2). 2. It is advised to drill small pilot holes into timberl if that is where you are installing the numbers. This will prevent the timber from splitting. However, if you are installing into brick or masonry, use a masonry bit to drill holes and install the plastic plugs included. 3. Gently attach the number into the surface. We suggest you use a rubber mallet or a combination of a soft piece of wood over the letter and the usual hammer. Make sure that you attach the number evenly to prevent exertion of stress on the rear connectors. 4. If you're not comfortable working with all of the mentioned tools, you can buy two stainless bolts that you could run through from the rear right into the number. 5. You're done!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Democrats say answering the question of whether Americans are better off now than they were four years ago requires some context.
Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren tells NBC's "Today" show Tuesday that people should remember how far the economy fell and how hard it is to get back from a time when the stock market was crashing and the auto industry was a mess. She says the real issue is who has the best plan to move forward.
Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, meanwhile, says to ask the millions of people out of work if they are better off. He noted on ABC "Good Morning America" that unemployment remains above 8 percent, despite President Barack Obama's stimulus plan.
The question is a major talking point as the Democratic National Convention kicks off Tuesday.

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Jodi Ewart Shadoff is one of the few LPGA Tour players to use an anchored putting stroke, a method the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Golf Club have proposed banning.
"I've said this a lot of times, but all you have to do is look at my putting stats to know it's not a huge advantage,'' Ewart Shadoff said Friday after her second round in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. "To be honest, if they do decide to ban it, it wouldn't be a huge issue for me. I'd have to spend a couple months really working out with a short putter, but it wouldn't be a huge deal for me.''
The USGA and Royal & Ancient Golf Club proposed the ban late last year. If adopted, it would go into effect in 2016.
"If they go ahead and do ban it, then I probably expect to use it and start making the switch in the offseason,'' said Ewart Shadoff, who has used an anchored putting stroke since November 2011. "I did actually go back to the short putter in Malaysia at the end of last year for the first round. That didn't go so well. I actually hole more long putts with the short putter, but I'm very consistent with the belly putter within 6 feet.''
Ewart Shadoff shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday for a share of the first-round lead with Suzann Pettersen and Na Yeon Choi. The 25-year-old Englishwoman had a 72 on Friday to enter the weekend three strokes behind leader Inbee Park.
CREAMER COMEBACK: Fighting illness and mourning her grandmother's death, Paula Creamer played her way into contention in the second round.
"I'm definitely sick,'' Creamer said. "My grandma passed away and I'm just not sleeping. My body kind of shut down. But last night was a rough night, but other than that, I'm feeling a little bit better.''
Creamer followed her opening 2-over 74 with a 68, playing the final 13 holes in 5 under.
"I just made more putts,'' Creamer said. "I had a couple of bogeys early on, but fought back hard and played well on the back nine, which is the front nine.''
The 26-year-old American is winless since the 2010 U.S. Women's Open. The nine-time tour champion came close to ending the long drought last year at Kingsmill, but lost to Jiyai Shin on the ninth hole of a playoff.
SLEEPING GIANT: Second-ranked Yani Tseng was 3 over after opening rounds of 72 and 75.
Winless in more than a year, the 24-year-old Taiwanese star had a triple-bogey 7 on No. 7 – her 15th hole of the day – after she pulled her 3-wood drive left and out of bounds.
"One shot costs three more shots, but everything else is fine,'' Tseng said. "I was hitting driver, but today, because of the downwind, I chose the 3-wood, and I didn't pick the shot I wanted to hit. And I didn't like the target I picked and I just kind of pulled to the left.''
After a good start to the season in Australia and Asia, she lost the No. 1 spot in the world to Stacy Lewis three weeks ago in Phoenix, then was booted out of the Kia Classic a few days later when she overslept and missed her pro-am tee time.
She has played well at Mission Hills, winning in 2010 and finishing second in 2011 and third last year.
"I know I can make a bunch of birdies out there,'' Tseng said. "Today is the past, and I'll learn from today, and I won't make the same mistakes tomorrow.''
DIVOTS: Travis Wilson was back at work Friday as Stacy Lewis' caddie, a day after he was taken to an urgent care center because of flu-like symptoms. "He was fine,'' Lewis said. "The media hyped it up to more than it was. He felt a little off the last few days and needed some fluids to get going again, but he felt great today and I was glad to have him.'' … Natalie Gulbis made the cut, shooting 74-72 in her return to play after recovering from malaria. Infected by a mosquito during the LPGA Thailand, she withdrew after the first round the following week in Singapore and missed tournaments in Phoenix and Carlsbad. … Brittany Lincicome, the 2009 winner, shot 77-74 to miss the cut. … Hall of Famer Amy Alcott, making a rare tour start at age 57, shot 81-80. She won the tournament in 1983, 1988 and 1991.

I don't know what gender 'Boo' is but certainement you'll see signs of Halloween in many classy joints around town.
La Petite Marquise (3 Pl. Victor Hugo 75016) had several tres chic witches dans le vitrine in full regalia.
It's fun to see what Paris is up to for Halloween.
For some reason high-end US pastry chefs can't be bothered..not as playful?
I love all that orange all over Paris (and even all over French Girls) Paris needs more color this time of year, so why not pumpkin? Happy Halloween. Have fun at your class today! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Your mind works in wonderous ways...
It makes me so happy when you take me window shopping with you , Carol!
"we're supposed to be painting from the nude...ahem. But I'm bringing in my own subject matter-" For a tiny second I thought you were going to be painting YOURSELF in the nude. You know, bringing in "your own subject matter".
Why don't more artists paint nude self-portraits? Or am I just uniformed?
I like that knitted pumpkin. Growing up in France I knew nothing about pumpkins for Halloween. I only heard about that when I was in San Francisco. Do you know when the custom started in France? I guess it was imported from the US, non? Is it just the chic thing to do in big towns or are everyone carving pumpkins like they do it here?ReplyDelete
Are there nudist art workshops?
Would the models be dressed?
Maybe you could have the nude model pose eating a macaron?
am envious of your workshop with David Dewey.
I hope you will show all! ( Amy, you are a coquine influence on moi!)
Pumpkin is a favorite color of mine too. I am painting my living room pumpkin tho Behr calls it Sweet Carrot.
Not the only one at all Peter,
La Mere du Famille ALWAYS has halloween windows and there were others but I have to search out the photos.
Paris is very BIG on witches.
Who knew?
At least THREE ex-nude models at PB! And perhaps many more lurking in the wings..Hmmm
I wish I knew why everything tastes better in Paris Yvette.
I'm having a period of adjustment here getting used to New York food again. It doesn't taste as fresh or something or other...qui sait?
It was the Feuille d'Automne of Lenotre? Sorry you didn't like it that much. Have you ever tried a Merveilleux at "Les Merveilleux de Fred"? I guess you won't like it either then because it's creamer ;-)
Thanks for the links to my blog, I really love yours.
Are u going to be in Paris on the week-end of 27th of November?
The knitted aubergine cracks me up! And surely only a French girl could look that stylish in head to toe pumpkin? Moi je prefere the orange Filofax - v. chic methinks.ReplyDelete
Thank you for this picturesque orange tour !ReplyDelete
And what about the Hermés orange?! Frightfully chér, but October chic!ReplyDelete
Un plaisir automnal!ReplyDelete
Aah - Paris Pumpkin colours, especially chez Hermès. Très classe! Glad you found the ghoulishness for Hallowe'en in Paris - here in the outskirts not much, a few pumpkins and autumn leaves but that's it!
Like Julie said, I love window shopping with you in Paris and I always take notes. I went back and read your Eiffel Tower Bleus and was wondering if you ever got yourself a new lampshade and turned on your ET lamp? I have a pair of Target ET lamps as well and they are just a tiny portion of my ET collection. I love finding new things with ET's on them. I have hundreds in my home and my husband is always amazed that I find more I don't have. Anyhoo, love that orange one! I don't have one that color.ReplyDelete

Mario Balotelli claims love has set him free and is the reason behind his terrific form since leaving Manchester City for AC Milan.
The Italy international made the £19million switch in the January transfer window and has struck seven goals in only six games for the San Siro club and three in Italy's last two matches.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini will have been wondering what had sparked such an immediate change in the 22-year-old.
Balotelli's time at Etihad Stadium was notable primarily for the reports of his bizarre behaviour off the pitch and his failure to consistently produce on it.
However, the former Inter Milan star was well aware of what had causes the turnaround in his form and focus – the love of a good woman.
Balotelli feels his new relationship with Fanny Neguesha has affected him so positively it has led to greater focus on his game.
"Am I in love? Yes. She is determined, confident and generous," he is quoted as saying in the Evening Standard.
"In a short space of time she found herself in sync with me. I could spend my whole life with someone like this. Thanks to Fanny I have rediscovered the balance that I need in my work.
"She puts our relationship first and foremost, so there are no distractions or rows before games. It's not easy to be with me, because I almost have to give up on a private life, as I am constantly exposed to the public."
Manchester City fans will be feeling a touch unlucky that Balotelli found love so soon after leaving the Citizens.
His current form may have been enough to keep Mancini's club in touch with rivals Manchester United, who look certain to snatch the Premier League title back.

9.5 Visiting Teaching
Visiting teaching gives women the opportunity to watch over, strengthen, and teach one another. Through visiting teaching, the Relief Society president helps the bishop identify and resolve short-term and long-term needs of sisters and their families.
Members of the Relief Society presidency instruct visiting teachers on ways to care for, watch over, remember, and strengthen one another. Presidency members can give this instruction in a Sunday meeting or in another Relief Society meeting.
Visiting teachers are not sustained or set apart.
Responsibilities of Visiting Teachers
Visiting teachers sincerely come to know and love each sister, help her strengthen her faith, and give service. They seek personal inspiration to know how to respond to the spiritual and temporal needs of each sister they are assigned to visit.
Taking into account each sister's individual needs and circumstances, visiting teachers have regular contact (monthly if possible) with those they are assigned. When a personal visit is not possible, visiting teachers may use phone calls, letters, e-mail, or other means to watch over and strengthen sisters.
When appropriate, visiting teachers share a gospel message. These messages may be from the monthly visiting teaching message printed in the Ensign or Liahona magazine and the scriptures.
Visiting teachers give compassionate service during times of illness, death, and other special circumstances. They assist the Relief Society president in coordinating short-term and long-term assistance when invited.
Organizing Visiting Teaching
The structure of visiting teaching in the ward is determined by the bishop and Relief Society presidency after prayerful consideration of local needs and circumstances. Where possible, the presidency assigns sisters into companionships of two. Because visiting teaching focuses on individual sisters, Relief Society leaders do not organize women in groups for the purpose of visiting teaching.
In organizing visiting teaching, members of the Relief Society presidency prayerfully discuss the needs of individuals and families. They
In addition to assigning faithful visiting teachers, they work with the ward mission leader to ensure that each newly baptized and confirmed sister is taught the five missionary lessons again (see 5.2).
Based on these discussions, they assign visiting teachers to each sister in the ward. They obtain the bishop's approval for each assignment.
With approval from the bishop in exceptional cases, Melchizedek Priesthood leaders and Relief Society leaders may assign a husband and wife as a companionship where visits by a couple are needed. Couples report these visits as home teaching and visiting teaching. Normally, young parents are not given such an assignment because it takes them away from their children.
Adapting Visiting Teaching to Local Needs
In a ward with limited resources, leaders may adapt visiting teaching to ensure that sisters with the greatest needs always receive a monthly visit.
With approval from the bishop, Melchizedek Priesthood leaders and Relief Society leaders may temporarily assign only home teachers or only visiting teachers to certain families. In some cases, leaders may assign home teachers to visit a family one month and assign visiting teachers to visit Relief Society members in that family the next month.
With approval from the mission president, leaders may consider asking full-time sister missionaries to help with visiting teaching on a limited basis. The mission president communicates this approval to the stake president, who informs bishops. When such approval is given, full-time missionaries are assigned primarily to visit new members, part-member families, and less-active members.
Reporting Visiting Teaching
The Relief Society presidency or those who are called to assist them receive monthly reports from visiting teachers. The visiting teachers report any special needs of the sisters they visit and any service rendered. In addition, presidency members meet with visiting teachers regularly to discuss sisters' spiritual and temporal welfare and to make plans to help those in need. Confidential information should be reported only to the Relief Society president, who reports it to the bishop.
The Relief Society president gives the bishop a monthly visiting teaching report. Each report includes a list of those who were not contacted. If a sister and her family have urgent needs, the Relief Society president reports this information to the bishop immediately.

Our Australian Groups Partner Uplift Tours and Travel has just returned from another successful over 50s tour staying at the Edgewater, hosted by director Claire McErlane. On the return journey, many of the group elected to take advantage of our new exclusive offer with access to the Emperor Lounge, Auckland Airport's premium traveller's lounge, and what a huge success it was!
Claire says, "With the increased layover time in Auckland flying home to Australia, I am absolutely elated that the Edgewater has instigated this fantastic deal for clients! With approximately two thirds of our recent group deciding to spend their time in the Emperor Lounge, I can truthfully say it was extremely apparent to me at the departure gate which clients had utilised the new facility. Each were refreshed, happy and ready for their flight home." Claire also commented very highly of the excellent service which they received by the caring Host team in the lounge.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With President Barack Obama's healthcare law marred by a shaky rollout, top administration officials including Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius will meet with insurance company chief executives on Wednesday, a White House official said.
The chief executives of WellPoint and Humana confirmed they would attend the meeting.
Obama on Tuesday turned to a trusted advisor to fix the glitch-plagued website that is central for the success of the president's signature health insurance plan, widely referred to as Obamacare.
The administration assigned a team of experts to diagnose and fix problems that have hindered consumers from using the website and drawn criticism and ridicule from Republicans opposed to the law.
WellPoint raised its 2013 membership and profit forecasts in part to reflect coming market changes under the Affordable Care Act, its chief executive, Joseph Swedish, said in a statement on Wednesday.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and on a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing gently to fit, trim the edge to within 1/2-inch of the pan, turn under, and crimp decoratively. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line the pie shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dry beans, or rice. Bake until the crust is set, about 12 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights and bake until lightly colored, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before filling. Combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, milk, water, and pinch of the salt in a large, non-reactive saucepan, whisk to combine, and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking occasionally. As the mixture reaches a simmer and begins to thicken and turn clear, 4 to 5 minutes, whisk in the egg yolks, 2 at a time. Slowly add the lemon juice, whisking constantly, and add the zest and limoncello. Add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisking constantly, return to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour immediately into the prepared pie crust.
Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and remaining pinch salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beating constantly, gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until glossy stiff peaks form, being careful not to over beat, as this will make the meringue difficult to spread.
Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip. Working 1 row at a time, pipe the meringue across the top of the hot lemon filling in a zigzag pattern, alternating direction with each row. Cover the pie filling completely, going out to the pastry edges, so the meringue does not draw up or weep during baking. (Alternatively, spread the meringue evenly over the pie filling using a rubber spatula, smoothing out to the pastry edges. Make decorative peaks in the meringue using a dull knife or the back of a spoon.)
To quickly cook the meringue, preheat the broiler with the rack in the highest position. Place the pie under the broiler and cook until the meringue is set and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. (Alternatively, the meringue can be cooked in a preheated 325 degree F oven until set and golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.)
Transfer the pie to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. With your fingers, work the butter and shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of the ice water and work with your fingers just until the dough comes together, adding more water as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, to make a smooth dough, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disk shape, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

African Nations Cup: Hosts South Africa reach last eight after 2-2 draw with Morocco
African Nations Cup hosts South Africa ensured their progression to the quarter-finals after a 2-2 draw with Morocco.
Last Updated: 27/01/13 7:51pm
Rachid Taoussi's Morocco crashed out, though, with tournament minnows Cape Verde taking their place in the last eight courtesy of an historic 2-1 win over Angola.
That result meant South Africa would have qualified regardless but Bafana Bafana struggled to respond to Issam El Adoua's opener.
May Mahlungu finally made the Durban crowd sit up and take notice with a fine finish after the break but Abdelilah Hafidi's quick response inspired fear on the South African bench.
Sangweni secured the point needed to tee up a preferable tie in the next round and news of Cape Verde's late winner did not appear to reach the Morocco team in time for them to mount one last raid.
Morocco would dominate the first half and Abdelaziz Barrada had South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune sprawling within four minutes.
The opening goal arrived in the 10th minute as El Adoua rose highest to head home from a corner, with the Bafana Bafana defence in disarray.
Youssef El Arabi fancied scoring a second goal in the tournament, having netted against Cape Verde, but Bongani Khumalo got in a crucial block on the Granada man's left-footed effort.
Khune did well to tip a low drive from Chahir Belghazouani around a post in the 20th minute and it suddenly seemed that Morocco had run out of ideas. Bernard Parker finally gave the home faithful something to cheer about with an effort from the edge of the area but his accuracy was lacking.
South Africa made a much brighter start following the break, though, with Thuso Phala forcing a fingertip save from Nadir Lamyaghri with his curling free-kick.
Khune emerged victorious from a one-on-one with El Arabi on the hour mark and soon Bafana Bafana were in the ascendancy. Gordon Igesund's men continued to make up ground and when the equaliser came in the 71st minute, it was spectacular.
Mahlungu was unchecked on the edge of the Morocco box, his sumptuous curling finish sending the Durban crowd into raptures. Hush descended, though, when substitute Hafidi chested down Zakarya Bergdich's cross to control and slotted home eight minutes from time.
Sangweni might be a centre-back but he registered his second goal of the tournament in scoring the equaliser.
When the Orlando Pirates man found himself on the edge of the box with four minutes to go, he twisted his body to clip the ball across Lamyaghri and into the bottom corner.

Water 'trouble coming' for EppingBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
September 06. 2013 9:28PM
EPPING — The state has sent a letter to local water and sewer commissioners expressing "major concern" about the town's municipal water supply and the need to find more sources to meet demand.
In a letter dated Aug. 30, the state Department of Environmental Services said it's concerned that the water being produced by the three wells at Hoar Pond "is or may be degrading over time under their current pattern of use."
The town pumps water from the three wells at Hoar Pond and a fourth on Fremont Road.
Groundwater level monitoring data collected from Hoar Pond Well No. 3 and submitted to the state on Aug. 2 "indicated that the existing sources may not be capable of providing their projected production volumes and that the need for additional supply may be more critical," the letter said.
Some residents discovered that their water turned brown for a time last week, but when asked about the reason behind the problem, Dennis Koch, the town's public works coordinator, said the cause wasn't known.
"It's only an example of the trouble coming," Selectman James McGeough said Friday.
Water woes have plagued Epping for years and more concerns have been raised in recent years with the rapid expansion of businesses, including restaurants and other retailers, on Route 125.
The town's water and sewer commissioners and other local officials have urged voters to approve proposals to buy 60 acres with several wells already installed on property behind Walmart.
But for the third time, voters last March defeated a $2.5 million plan to buy the property. The same proposal was rejected in 2010 and 2011.
Henry DeBoer, a water and sewer commissioner, has said the property has the potential to produce 588,000 gallons of water a day and would meet the town's water needs for the next 40 to 50 years.
Koch said commissioners plan to ask voters in March to consider the proposal once again.
"We think it's our best option," Koch said.
McGeough said selectmen haven't taken a vote on whether to back the plan again, but he will support it and believes board members will as well.
Officials from the Department of Environmental Services plan to meet with water and sewer commissioners on Oct. 1.
Meanwhile, the state has recommended that the town consider other alternatives to reduce the demand on the Hoar Pond wells or change their current use pattern. According to DES, changes could include expanding the town's efforts to limit discretionary water use across the system, particularly during summer months; implement a "relatively aggressive" well maintenance and rehabilitation program for the wells; or find new water sources to allow the town to alternate the use of the Hoar Pond wells with those other sources to give some time for the water level to recover.

The Green Mountain Stage Race is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday in Hinesburg and loop around Starksboro. Since we're Addison County's paper, this route deviates slightly from the original course, beginning in Bristol rather than Hinesburg. Here's a medium-length ride that's sure to get your blood pumping, and if you haven't had enough, you can take it like the racers and do it it twice!
Length: 29.82 miles
Difficulty: Intermediate
Duration: 2-3 hours
This version of the Green Mountain Stage Race loop will begin in Bristol on Route 116 at the Bottom of Route 17. From here head North for about 10 miles on Route 116 until you hit Hollow Road in Hinesburg. Hang a right and ride east up into the mountains. Hollow Road becomes Hinesburg Hollow Road. Follow Hinesburgh Hollow Road unti you hit Main Road. Take a right on Main Road and head South onto Gore Road. Pedal up onto Route 17 from Gore Road and turn right. Then coast on down to the bottom of the loop.
But don't stop there — head on over to the town of Bristol for a one-of-a-kind brew at the Bobcat (if you're 21 or older, of course), a ginger-glazed chocolate chip cookie at the bakery or any other treats or odds and ends featured at many of Bristol's locally owned businesses.

Stitches are patient creatures; they stand in line and wait their turn. But once in a great while, an impatient stitch (or two, or three, or more) will jump the line. Needles don't know the difference, so they take the line-jumpers next. By the time they get to the stitches that got snubbed, things are tense. The overlooked stitches are peevish. It takes a while—a few rows, depending on how many stitches jumped the line—for everyone to calm back down again.
That, my friends, is how cables work. They introduce a bit of a traffic snarl where once everything was going smoothly.
You can tell a lot about a yarn by how it responds to a cable. Does it go with the flow, or does it get all tense and pouty? Do the cables look crisp and sculptural, or do they stay low to the ground? As an added creative challenge, most cables are accompanied by purl stitches that help the cables stand out; they also help to buffer the cable complexities.
Amy Miller's Dressage sweater drew my eye not only because it features an attractive double cable running beneath each arm, but because it buffers the cables with purl stitches everywhere. The entire sweater, barring those cables under each arm, is a sea of reverse stockinette. Ribbing on the yoke adds welcome punctuation up top.
Yarns behave differently on the purl side than they do on the knit side; and they certainly do different things with cables. And so I swatched.
The original sweater was knit in a squishy Merino singles with faint variegation in thickness and color. So I began by wiping the creative slate clean and using the Number 2 pencil of yarns, Brown Sheep Nature Spun.
In this smooth, worsted-spun three-ply yarn, the cables looked like tubes of twisted taffy, round and clear. The purl stitches looked almost like a grid, or a mesh, or even a tray of carefully organized grains of rice. The solid color added to the overall effect of crispness and uniformity.
But what if uniformity isn't your thing? The fastest way to add wobble to your stitches is to move from a smooth, rounded yarn to a heathered two-ply yarn. Cestari's 2-Ply Wool fit the bill admirably. This fleece-dyed woolen-spun yarn is made from Columbia wool, which falls on the fine side of the softness spectrum.
The difference was immediate. Where the Nature Spun had presented even, orderly purls, the Cestari offered up a bumpy, highly-heathered sea of texture. The cables were much quieter, still offering clear enough detail, but with a touch of fuzzy, lumpy distortion.
Finally, I migrated away from the country earthiness of Cestari and toward the bright lights and big city bling of Berroco Flicker. While presenting a soft, fuzzy look that's similar to the original yarn used in the pattern, Flicker achieves its look through dramatically different means. This blend contains 87% baby alpaca, 8% acrylic, and 5% "other" fibers.
Fear not, those "others" usually aren't anything freakishly strange. Labeling laws in the U.S. dictate that any blend that has five percent or less of a single fiber lists that fiber simply as "other." Part of that "other," however, is silver sparkle, and it's just enough to give a hint of glitz without veering too far into Las Vegas territory.
Having taken my needles off-road for a little while, I'm still uncertain. Would I have used any of these three yarns instead of the original from Manos del Uruguay? Not sure. But I'm glad I swatched.

Ray Charles's magnificent version of "America the Beautiful" reminds us that it is a perfect song for Memorial Day. In order to overcome the familiarity that prevents us from hearing the words of such songs, Charles begins with the song's relatively unknown third verse on martial sacrifice:
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success
Be nobleness
And every gain divine!
By this time, of course, he has our attention. After the chorus, Charles sings the song's true first verse, but prefaces it by saying playfully, "You know when I was in school we used to sing it something like this. . ." He begins to sing it like a precocious choirboy, but then sings the second half of the verse with a lover's uninhibited passion. As he returns to the chorus he testifies in gospel style: "America! I love you America!"

text: Using social media to shorten the sales cycle By Julie Bee,. Published on March 20, 2013. B-to-b sales professionals spend their days finding, calling on and following up with new prospects. Experience has taught them that people do business with people they like and trust. So how can they build relationships efficiently and effectively, earn trust and shorten the sales cycle? Social media can help the sales department crack into the sales vault. It can help them move past the gatekeepers, save time and build relationships that lead to signed contracts. • Back to social. Business has always been social, making social media a natural fit in the business world. On Facebook, a friend of a friend may be the decision-maker at a company you want as a client. On LinkedIn, salespeople are one connection away from many of their prospects. Sales can do a little digging on social networks for introductions from friends and business associates—and a warm introduction beats a cold call any day. • Keep the business conversation going. Sales had a great meeting with five decision-makers. They liked the presentation and asked several "buying signal" questions. Now what? The sales rep can connect with all five on LinkedIn by sending a short message like, "I enjoyed our meeting and look forward to the next." Then, they can check in twice a week to see if those decision-makers post anything to LinkedIn. If they do, the rep can comment in a way that shows interest. Sales shouldn't try to sell the product or service here—they're trying to establish a relationship and plant a name firmly in memory (in a positive light). Even a simple, "Great article, thanks for posting," is sufficient. • Multiple "ins." In companies with more than 25 employees, there's usually more than one decision-maker. You may have to present to several, but it only takes one to get in the door for a meeting. I like those odds; how about you? Here is one way to use social media to find the multiple "ins" at a company. Go to LinkedIn, type in the name of the company you want an appointment with and a list of employees will show up on the screen. Scan the list, and identify a handful of possible decision-makers. If you reach out to each of them, there is a good chance at least one—or two of them—will get back to you. You can also follow the company on Twitter and Facebook, looking for additional opportunities. • Minimally invasive procedure. If sales uses social media to help build relationships and continue conversations, it's not as invasive as other sales methods such as cold-calling or cheesy one-liners. But if sales turns the focus to building a relationship, they'll get a meeting and leave a favorable impression. Building a relationship does not feel invasive; selling to someone does. Social media can help sales bridge the gap in an efficient way that will open doors and shorten the sales cycle. Efficiency and effectiveness in one tool? Social media is the best b-to-b sales gadget you'll never see on an infomercial. Julie Bee is president-chief connector at BeeSmart Social Media (beesmartsocialmedia.com).

- Possibly have the map roll-over a different map every x number of seconds (slide show style)
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
- It will showcase our wide variety of awesome maps.
- It will not feature any one map creator
- It will appease those of us that think that the Classic Shapes map is not the best representation of the maps we have to offer.

Want to hurt workers? Raise the minimum wage
January 22. 2013 5:23PM
Why raise New Hampshire's minimum wage? The cosponsor of a new bill to do that has a novel theory.
In the last session, legislators repealed New Hampshire's minimum wage law, defaulting to the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour. As expected, Democratic members of the House are pushing to reestablish the state minimum at $8 an hour and raise it every two years.
Rep. Timothy Horrigan, D-Durham, a sponsor of that bill (House Bill 127), said, "I think wages in general are too low for working people. We seem to have accepted in the private sector that people doing the actual work, people at the bottom of the ladder, people out in the field, haven't had a pay raise for years. We sort of accept that as a fact of life, and now it's being used against public workers who have been attacked for having the audacity to ask for a pay raise."
This is an extraordinary comment. Horrigan admits that the goal of his bill really is to raise pay for public employees.
What about the private sector? HB 127 would hurt low-wage workers, not help them. Economists David Neumark and William Wascher found in their 2006 National Bureau of Economic Research review of more than 100 minimum wage studies that "the oft-stated assertion that recent research fails to support the traditional view that the minimum wage reduces the employment of low-wage workers is clearly incorrect.... In addition, among the papers we view as providing the most credible evidence, almost all point to negative employment effects, both for the United States as well as for many other countries."
They also found that "the studies that focus on the least-skilled groups provide relatively overwhelming evidence of stronger disemployment effects for these groups." That is, raising the minimum wage causes even more of the lowest-skilled people not to be hired.
If New Hampshire legislators want to hurt low-skilled workers, they will hardly find a quicker and more effective method than raising the minimum wage.

Endodontic Specialists San Mateo & Daly City CA
We are specialist members of the American Association of Endodontists. We look forward to being of service to you. Our expert team, led by respected endodontic specialists Dr. Marshall S. Michaelian and Dr. Marshall J. Michaelian, includes an experienced endodontic staff. We provide the highest standard of professional care in a friendly, comfortable environment. We hope that the information provided in our website answers many of the questions you have about endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) as well as the other services that we provide.
Endodontic Therapy (Root Canal) San Mateo & Daly City CA
A root canal is a simple non-surgical procedure that can save your natural teeth, preventing the need for artificial tooth replacment. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels at the center of your tooth. A root canal is needed when the pulp becomes infected. Infection of the pulp can cause swelling, sensitivity, and pain in the teeth and gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will likely referr you for non-surgical endodontic therapy. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. This therapy usually involves local anesthesia. Success for endodontic therapy occurs in about 90% of cases.
Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy) San Mateo & Daly City CA
Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with injured pulp from extraction. Occasionally, however, this will not be sufficient to heal the tooth and your endodontist will recommend surgery. Endodontic surgery is used to locate fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but still cause pain in the tooth. Damaged tooth root surfaces and the surrounding jaw bone may also be treated with endodontic surgery. An apicoectomy or root-end resection is the most common surgery preformed to save damaged teeth.

Line play by Swedes earns win
Before the game against Ord last week, head coach Craig Haake said powerful offensive line play and formation recognition would be the difference in the game.
Haake was on to something.
The Swedes averaged 6.9 yards rushing on 62 carries in their 43-14 road win over the Chanticleers.
"We executed well dominating their defensive line," Haake said. "They were changing up looks and we were moving them out of the way.'
Although Gothenburg ran for 431 yards it was a 42-yard pass from Dawson Graham to Blake Ristine two minutes into the game followed by a Trenton Long PAT that put the Swedes ahead 7-0.
"They had everyone stacked in the box and we used a play action fake," Haake said. "Blake beat the guy by 15 yards."
Gothenburg held the Chanticleers to 190 total yards.
Ord experienced success in the second and third quarter using the option, but not much other than that, Haake said.
Gothenburg scored three more times in the first half extending its lead.
After Ord successfully drove down the field and scored its first touchdown in the second quarter, the Swedes put a drive of their own together.
Runs by Zach Wolf, Ristine and Dawson Graham chewed up chunks of yardage.
The drive ended on a quarterback keeper by Graham that found the endzone from two yards out.
A PAT by Long pushed the Swede lead to 14-7.
A three-and-out by both Ord and Gothenburg stalled the scoring before Adam Speck forced a fumble on Ord's own five-yard line.
Blake Ristine made the Chanticleers pay taking the ball in from five yards and the lead was up to 14, 21-7.
Defensive pressure by the Swedes led to Skyler Kottwitz forcing a fumble that was recovered by Tanner Borchardt with less than 10 seconds left in the first half. It was enough time for Gothenburg to run one play and set up Long for a field goal.
The Swede senior stepped into the kick and booted the ball 42 yards between the uprights to send Gothenburg into the locker room with a 24-7 lead.
Ord answered back in the third quarter marching down the field and scoring on their first possession, closing the gap to 10, 24-14.
The Swedes were in control after that, racking up 19 more points in the half.
Ristine got things started taking a reverse sweep to the house from 21 yards out for his third score of the night.
Long converted a PAT and the Swedes led 31-14.
Both offenses would be held at bay the remainder of the third quarter.
The Swedes struck again in the middle of the fourth quarter behind the forceful offensive line.
Wolf, the workhorse for the Swedes carrying the ball 25 times for 210 yards for the game, reached the endzone from three yards out.
An Ord turnover gave the ball back to the Swedes with a short field, allowing Skyler Kottwitz to jump across the goal line for the final score of the game as the Swedes led 43-14
Graham completed 1-4 passes for 42 yards and a touchdown while adding 20 yards rushing and a score.
Long was 4-4 on PAT's and made a 42-yard field goal.
Gothenburg will take its 5-2 record on the road against 6-1 Kearney Catholic on Thursday night.
'They have a lot to cover in one less day for preparation but it isn't something we haven't seen yet this season,"Haake said.

Next Meetup
What we're about
This group is designed to get a younger crowd (generally speaking in their 20's and 30's) together to do fun things within the greater Orlando metropolitan area. Whether you are new to the city, hoping to meet new people, or simply wish to explore the area, this is the group for you! Some activities we can do include: bowling, mini golfing, movies, hitting up the theme parks, going to local area festivals, concerts, sporting events, etc.
My goal with creating this group is to make it easy for us younger people to connect. As part of this goal, we try to plan frequent events so there will be plenty of opportunities to get out and meet other members.
On the note of planning for events, I am always open to suggestions so feel free to propose any type of event! Please note that events promoting your business or are religious or political in nature will not be approved.
Also, please note: Due to a consistent problem of people RSVP'ing "Yes" for events and not showing up, we have implemented a new no-show policy. The policy gives each person 3 free no-shows after which the given individual will be removed from the group. A no-show is also defined as someone who RSVP's "Yes" and either does not show up to the event or arrives more than 5 minutes late. This policy was instituted so that the group isn't waiting around for people who don't show up and also to ensure that accurate headcounts can be taken. By joining this group, you must accept these terms.
