Wilson Slams DiNapoli On WFP
Republican Harry Wilson is slamming his Democratic target, Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, for being willing to accept the Working Families Party line when his party's standard-bearer, AG Andrew Cuomo, and Democratic AG contender Sean Coffey refuse to do so.
"It is mind-boggling that Mr. DiNapoli would accept the endorsement of a political party that works day in and day out to raise the taxes of actual New York working families," Wilson said in a statement released yesterday.
"Andrew Cuomo and other Democrats, including a Democratic candidate for Attorney General, have taken the principled position of rejecting the WFP because of its extreme left-wing ideology – and because it is under investigation by the United States Attorney."
"Of course, Mr. DiNapoli is, himself, under investigation by the office of the New York State Attorney General."
"Mr. DiNapoli is supposed to be serving as the taxpayers' watchdog, not as the lapdog of the ACORN-inspired WFP. They are the very people agitating for higher government spending, higher taxes, and higher debt on our children. Once again, Mr. DiNapoli disappoints."
A few thoughts:
Neither Cuomo nor Coffey have ever said anything about "extreme left-wing ideology" when discussing their respective decisions to take a pass on Row E. (And, in Cuomo's case, this might be more of a trial separation from the WFP than a permanent divorce).
It hasn't been lost on observers, however, that Cuomo's fiscally conservative platform is at odds with the WFP agenda, which supports things like taxing rich people and opposes property tax caps.
The WFP is holding its convention in Buffalo this weekend and won't be voting on its statewide slate until today.
A YNN reporter caught up with DiNapoli at the convention last night and asked him about accepting the party's line.
"I've appreciated the invitation to speak here to the members today, and if they are so inclined to support me, I'd certainly welcome that support," DiNapoli said.
I asked Wilson campaign spokesman Bill O'Reilly how his candidate could slam DiNapoli for being willing to take the WFP line when he has agreed to run with the support of the state Independence Party, which is also the subject of an investigation (by the Manhattan DA's office).
"The WFP is bankrupting New York State," O'Reilly replied.
"It has a far left-wing philosophy that is antithetical to reform. Also, the WFP, as a party, is under investigation. The IP is not."
The latter part of O'Reilly's response is similar to what Cuomo, who is also running on the Indy line, has said. Press reports have indicated that GOP operative John Haggerty is the target of the DA's investigation into the Indy Party.
But since a grand jury has been empaneled, and that's a secret process, it's really impossible to know for sure.
Also, it's worth noting that the conservative PAC New Yorkers for Growth has been on an anti-WFP crusade for some time now. The PAC was co-founded by John Faso and state GOP Chairman Ed Cox. O'Reilly worked on Faso's 2006 gubernatorial bid and has been involved with the PAC, too.

It seems that Young Hollywood cuties Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson are dating. I mean look! They're in a picture together and everything! The two saw 21 Jump Street together after Kylie returned from the Dominican Republic.
Even though nothing about the picture would confirm a romance — Kylie's distracted by her phone and Cody, who denied dating rumours last week, is two steps behind — the media made some elementary deductions. This is Kylie Jenner and Cody Simpson. They are in a photo together. They MUST be in a relationship. If Kylie had a ring on her left hand, she'd probably be engaged too.
Perhaps we should get some sort of body language expert in here? And what do Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber think about their new competition? And… okay, I've had enough of this. Let's move on.

Progress Energy
Protesting Coup at Duke Energy, 2 Board Members Step Down
In separate statements, two former directors of Progress Energy said the merged company needed a new chief to restore confidence among investors and regulators.
When Picking a C.E.O. Is More Random Than Wise
There is little solid research on what makes an effective chief executive, which makes choosing a candidate the product of a board's vision and personalities rather than one of careful contemplation.
Duke Energy Tried to Stop Merger, Former Progress Chief Says
At a hearing before North Carolina's utilities commission, William Johnson, the former chief executive of Progress Energy, indicated that the relationship between the two companies soured after Duke tried to back out of the deal, dooming his tenure chief of the newly merged utility.

According to a recent study by Ernst & Young, 36 percent of companies plan to pursue an acquisition in 2012.
Utilities Turn to Mergers as Demand for Power Slows
As technological advances hold the line on power consumption, major electricity players are looking to get bigger to protect their bottom lines.
Tallying Up the First Merger Monday of 2011
Barely more than a single business week into the new year, and companies have already inaugurated the first true "merger Monday" of 2011 with $21 billion in announced deals.
Duke to Buy Progress Energy for $13.7 Billion
The acquisition would create the nation's largest utility company and it could advance the two companies' nuclear ambitions.

Screaming Mimi, the White House Intern
Here's my new goal: I want to write a tell-all book and be widely celebrated for how well I keep secrets.
That's a trick I'd really love to a master, like sawing the last thin remnants of a reputation in half and having it appear whole.
Yes, of course, I'm talking about Screaming Mimi, the JFK intern who decided to wait until everybody was dead (guess daughters don't count, huh, Mimi?) and write a book with information nobody can prove but that fascinates us all. It doesn't say much for her, and, I suppose, it says even less about us.
Here's an excerpt from The Daily Mail, one of the places to which she sold the rights.
Okay, okay, it says less about me—I've been watching the whole thing with open-mouthed horror and fascination, but not as open-mouthed as Mimi was when she was in D.C., apparently.
What's getting to me is that otherwise sensible people are claiming that Miss Mimi is the epitome of of the women's movement and feminist thinking. At first that made me laugh, but it started happening enough to become baffling.
Here is what I have heard from people whose perspectives I often, if not always, admire, and here's what I would like to say to them:
They say: "She is a perfect woman because she is taking responsibility for her own sexuality." To which I simply want to say: You still want a girl who sings "Just Call Me Angel of the Morning" on the way home from a sleazy tryst?
They say: "She didn't sell the story earlier as she could have done." To which I want to say: Maybe she didn't need the money earlier, or maybe she waited until people who could refute her story were dead.
They say: "She's not blaming anyone else for her sexual activities. She is saying she would do it all over again—and do it all over him—given the opportunity, and that is being courageous." To which I want to say: So girls who are brought into the company of the most powerful men in the world get to trade sex for a brush with power and that's a good thing?
They say: "She might have been a debutante who went to posh private girls' schools and never once kissed a boy, but she was brave enough to perform oral sex, in public, on a man she didn't love at the whim of the man she adored, which shows an admirable lack of pesky prudishness." To which I want to say: That is profound degradation, not liberation; that is abuse, not choice; that is the furthest from an act of affection and respect you can get. And for her to say that, given the chance, she'd "do it all over again" is not so classy.
They say: "She has no guilt about having a long-term affair with a married man because she was terribly young when she did it, so she couldn't be responsible for committing adultery, even though she accepts responsibility for everything else—she didn't think of it as adultery, so it doesn't count." To which I want to say: And that's exactly what proves that she was too young to screw around with, as we all were when we entered into relationships with people who were both far older and far more powerful than we were. She didn't even know what she was doing, and even now is denying the harm she might have done to a marriage. Oh, maybe it didn't matter, as the historians say. But at least she should own up, in retrospect, and not use her youth in a fan-dance here, if she's not using it anywhere else.
The fact that Mimi is more or less saying to smart and ambitious 19-year-olds that they should do whatever those who are in power want them to do—that it's JUST GREAT to do whatever demeaning, miserable thing anybody who they find sexy and breathtaking wants them to do—because they can make money from it much later and then be congratulated for not having revealed the secret sooner doesn't make me happy.
But it did make me write a version of what it might have been like if Lincoln's intern came out with her book after 147 years while looking as good as Mimi still looks now.

York's annual Halloween Parade might continue after all -- and the solution is so obvious we wonder why no one thought of it before now.
The York YWCA has been hosting the 63-year-old tradition since 2006, when York City bowed out of the parade business.
Since then, the organization has struggled to find sponsors willing to offset the $30,000 cost.
The YWCA -- which provides domestic- and sexual-violence services, counseling, child care and youth-development programs to the community -- warned last year it couldn't justify cutting back on its core services in order the fund the event.
The Oct. 28 parade was to be the last, since no one stepped forward to take on the responsibility.
Until now, that is.
Ike Heilman, a Manchester man with a fondness for social clubs, has been lining up support from many of the various clubs to donate portions of their small games of chance proceeds to keep the parade marching along.
Heilman, 69, is a member of several social clubs, including the 12th Ward Democratic Club. So far, he said, the interest from club members is overwhelmingly positive.
"Every club that I've talked to, every one of them thinks it's a fantastic idea," Heilman said. "They're all willing to participate in this."
And it is what the clubs are supposed to be doing with the money raised through small games of chance like punchboards and raffles.
Under a revised state law, the clubs are allowed to give away bigger prizes and keep 30 percent of the proceeds for operating costs, whereas before the prizes were smaller and all of the money had to be donated back into the community.
That still leaves 70 percent that has to be given away.
Why not use it to save a much-loved local tradition that typically attracts around 30,000 spectators a year?
The social clubs are certainly in a much better position to pay for the parade than the YWCA, which typically sees a higher demand for services during tough economic times.
Every dime should be going to people in need, but during the past couple of years the organization has absorbed about $30,000 in losses from the parade.
We like Heilman's idea very much, although some details still need to be worked out.
For instance, while the YWCA is said to be "thrilled" by the offer, it needs someone to take on the organization of the parade -- not just the funding.
Heilman is very clear the clubs' support would be financial only -- they don't want to plan and produce the parade.
Still, having the funding in place would be a great start.
And there must be some experienced, eager planners out there willing to help keep this tradition alive.

Staying at Grace Cottage Hospital
Grace Cottage Hospital Radiology Department: Diagnostic X-Ray
Radiologic or X-ray exams use a low dose form of radiation that passes through the body part and creates an image much like a photograph. At Grace Cottage Hospital these images are digital.
This simple and painless procedure allows physicians to view bones, organs, and soft tissue anatomy as part of a diagnostic evaluation. Depending on the exam, the number of images will vary.
The Technologist is the person that takes your x-rays and then sends them to be read by a Radiologist.
As with other medical procedures, x-rays are safe when used with care. Technologists have been trained to use the minimum amount of radiation necessary to obtain the needed results. Properly conducted imaging carries minimal risks and should be performed when clinically indicated. The amount of radiation used in most examinations is very small and the benefits greatly outweigh the risk of harm.

Maria Sharapova, far from a clay court goddess, handed out a thumping clay court lesson to Andrea Petkovic. The German youngster had nothing to dance about after Sharapova, who is looking to complete a career Grand Slam this year, trounced her 6-0 in the first set in just 32 minutes. Sharapova was clearly not messing about, relentlessly thumping her shots and teaching the (at times) cocky young Petkovic what champions are made of.
The noise level was, as always, unpleasant at best (I'm just glad she wasn't on the same court as Azarenka) but Maria was clearly looking to get the job done quickly, breaking again in the opening game of the second set.
After losing eight consecutive games Andrea finally got on the board after 51 minutes of play but was still behind a set and a break. The German then followed with a break of Sharapova's serve to get the set level at 2-2.
A battle for the fifth game saw Sharapova edge in front at 3-2 with another break before being broken again as the players continues trading breaks of serve. After another break of serve, as Petkovic seemed almost unable to hold serve, Petkovic was forced to serve at 3-5 to try and stay alive. Sharapova powered through, denying the German a chance to hold more than once as she took the match 6-0, 6-3.
Maria has also been the tournaments best dressed WTA player and now arrives in the semis to face Li Na. Sharapova has been slowly working herself into form after working to regain her fitness after shoulder surgery. Few believed that Sharapova could make it back to the top of women's tennis but with the Williams sisters struggling and Kim Clijsters barely playing for various reasons, Sharapova is making her way back to the top with the help of gritty determination.

Man with history of mental illness hospitalized in bizarre incident
Police were dispatched to the Holiday Inn Express on route one on the report a nude man wearing only a sock and a condom was found digging up the landscape outside the hotel. According to the report, the man was covered in blood from multiple abrasions and appeared to officers as "emotionally disturbed or possibly under the influence of narcotics". Following a brief struggle with officers, the man was placed in an ambulance and sent to the Melrose-Wakefield Hospital for treatment and evaluation. Officers discovered that the man was not a guest of the hotel and tried to determine if the man's physical condition was the result of any criminal activity. A State Police Trooper from the Danvers Barracks stated to police that the same man had uprooted landscaping at another hotel earlier in the year. The suspect, identified as Stephen James Faverman, reportedly has several cases still open for property crimes, and also a history of assaulting police officers and resisting arrest.

Another example of when people – not milk, go bad
An employee at the Stop & Shop on Main Street reported to police that a white male wearing a black jacket allegedly stole three milk carriers valued at $3,000 each. According to the report, the employee told police that the suspect, obviously not too bright, drove away in a truck with the name of the company and its phone number written in large enough letters on the side for the witness to see. Police are investigating.
Two citations were issued during traffic enforcement in the area of the YMCA on Main Street. One citation was issued during traffic enforcement on Dudley Street. Three citations were issued on Main Street.

Ain't no rest for the wicked
A superintendent from a construction company working at a local site reported to police that sometime over the weekend, thieves broke into the company storage container by breaking the lock and making off with a welding cart. Police are investigating.
When Mary Poppins leaves her calling card…
A Sterling Ave. resident walked into the police station to report that when he woke up that morning he found his car door opened and an umbrella placed on the hood of his unregistered, uninsured motor vehicle. According to the report, the man said that the vehicle was inoperable and that there was nothing inside the vehicle to steal. The man wanted the incident placed on record – why? We have no idea.
Goodness knows it could have been worse
Police received a call from a Broadway resident who stated that two males came to her home and claimed to be from the water department. According to the woman, one man brought her out to the side of her home while the other man walked upstairs. The woman said she believed the men had taken items from her home. She said the two men then left the area in a black sedan, not a van. One man was described as a white male, portly build, about 5 ft. 6 inches, in his forties or fifties and gave his name as Robert Polanski. Police contacted the Dept. of Public Works and the Mass. Water Resources Authority (MWRA) where it was discovered that neither agency had an employee by that name and no one was going door-to-door. The incident remains under investigation.
Yeah, but buyer of what?
A Eustis Street resident stated that he observed a dark blue sedan with tinted windows drive down his street at what he felt was an unsafe speed for the neighborhood. He then observed the vehicle pull behind a building where a male on foot exited the woods where he then observed the vehicle's passenger and the unknown male make an exchange. Dispatched officers identified one of the occupants of the vehicle who claimed that the owner was there to show the vehicle to a potential buyer, according to the report.
Somebody doesn't know when they've been dumped
A Lincoln Avenue resident called police reporting that a white female, approximately 20 years old, medium build with a long dark ponytail knocked on her front door. When her father answered, she asked if her boyfriend lived there. She was told "no" and she then left in a white vehicle. The next day her father reported to her that the same girl was now standing in their driveway and the same vehicle was parked out front with another female sitting inside. According to the report, the vehicle's color did not match the description although according to the Registry of Motor vehicles, the registered owner's image closely matched the caller's description. The woman stated that there did not appear to be any damage to the home or that anyone had attempted to gain entry at that time although the home had recently been broken into. She was advised to call police the next time the woman or the vehicle makes a reappearance in the area.

Like: Breathtaking and picturesque view, cold weather Dislike: The smell, the dry air and chapped lips
it's nice and fabolous view you can get from kawah putih, but unfortunately it's very far from the city. it takes about 3 hour by using car to go there, and if you get rain there, it would be so sad. so just see the weather before you go there unless you will be sad when get there.
Sulfur lake is really impressive, but 30 minutes is enough to go around ;) I tried climb the hill but view from above is covered by trees. There some nice hot baths downhill and tasty strawberries :)
It's a long drive (over two hours, on narrow, grid-locked roads). So go only if you haven't seen a crater lake before. You pay extra to take your car up, so its cheaper to take the van (Rp13,000/pax). As mentioned by other reviewers, the drivers will try and pack as many people as possible into the car but they relented... More
My family loved the view and super cold atmosphere, but we didn't expect it to be so cold, some of us wore shorts and I even hid in the van, just to void the cold. My kids had fun riding the horse and taking some cool photos. Many vendors selling strawberry and local stuff but we didn't buy. However, the... More
Went in Novemberto Kawah Putih early in the morning, and was a bit cold. Entrance fee including transport to top. Nice landscape without foreigners tourists, only local tourists. If you stay longer you will start to feel a bit of cough because of the sulphur air.
We reach there after a long drive all the way from Jakarta. Everyone was cheered by the fantastic view in spite of the long journey. Worth the drive as you will definitely get beautiful scenery here. Many nice spot for photography.
We went to Kawah Putih early in the morning. The signboard says that it is open at 7.00am. We pushed off from Bandung at 7.00am though and reached by 9.00am. We wanted to save money (bringing a car in costs IDR150,000), since there were only 2 of us and we wanted to take the mini van/ tram. However, there was... More
It is surprisingly cool and good to experience. Every vocano have to pay entrance fee and lots of people try to push sell strawberry and blue berry very sweet ***but the sweet tast is not natural
It is around four hours from Jakarta so be prepared. The crater lake is great and worth the effort. There is also a nice fresh water lake about half an hour from there as well . G

Posted by Rob Eshman
In his column today, Nick Kristof proves he's a Foodaism believer. Trying to illuminate what is lost when the diversity of the family farm gives way to factory farms and monoculture, he reaches far beyond the true and obvious: our health, our environment, taste, choice—and concludes that it is something much deeper: our very souls.
On a summer visit back to the farm here where I grew up, I think I figured out the central problem with modern industrial agriculture. It's not just that it produces unhealthy food, mishandles waste and overuses antibiotics in ways that harm us all.
More fundamentally, it has no soul.
The family farm traditionally was the most soulful place imaginable, and that was the case with our own farm on the edge of the Willamette Valley. I can't say we were efficient: for a time we thought about calling ourselves "Wandering Livestock Ranch," after our Angus cattle escaped in one direction and our Duroc hogs in another.
Writing from his family homestead in Yamhill, OR, he notes that farms like the one he grew up on are fast disappearing.
The result is food that also lacks soul — but may contain pathogens. In the last two months, there have been two major recalls of ground beef because of possible contamination with drug-resistant salmonella. When factory farms routinely fill animals with antibiotics, the result is superbugs that resist antibiotics.
He acknowledges—correctly—that the benefits of the modern food production system aren't easily dismissed. Feeding more people more cheaply isn't all bad. But there has to be a balance, and we've clealry moved too far in the wrong direction.
In the second half of the column, he indulges in a long recollection about a chicken he once owned who was raised by a goose. Not quite sure the editor shouldn't have red-penned that, unless Kristof was angling for a children's book contract.
But the ultimate point remains:
Recollections like that make me wistful for a healthy rural America composed of diverse family farms, which also offer decent and varied lives for the animals themselves (at least when farm boys aren't conducting "scientific" experiments). In contrast, a modern industrialized operation is a different world: more than 100,000 hens in cages, their beaks removed, without a rooster, without geese or other animals, spewing out pollution and ending up as so-called food — a calorie factory, without any soul.
There is soul in food, soul in cooking, soul in eating. Adin Steinsaltz, in The Four Petaled Rose, spoke of the intimate connection between spirit and food: what we eat turns to flesh, and flesh houses our spirit, thus food is the stuff of the soul. I read that passage many years ago, it has never left me. It led, a long time afterwards, to this blog.
In the meantime, because it seems dry and serious to just blog Kristoff and Steinsaltz (it also sounds like the name of a really good law firm), let me throw in a recipe from a weekend dinner I made. This was last Thursday. I had a meeting in Brentwood, and stopped at the new place Tavern to check it out. From their very precious and pricey "Larder," I bought a cylinder of a local goat cheese called, Hyku. I sliced the cheese into a bowl, added a pound or so of chopped farmer's market heirloom cherry tomatoes, a handful of shredded basil, olive oil, a clove of garlic, salt and pepper. Into that I slid a pound of boiled pasta and a little pasta water. Mixed it up and topped it with more basil. There's a recipe for this in Georgeanne Brenner's, "The Food and Flavors of Haute Provence," that uses fresh goat cheese. Hyku is bit more aged and potent. The steam coming off the pasta smelled like goat, garden and fruit. My son swooned.
Nick Kristoff would have dug it.

Wolhynia fever
Trench fever, a louse-borne disease first recognized in the trenches of World War I, again a major problem in the military in World War II, seen endemically in Mexico, N. Africa, E. Europe, and elsewhere. The cause, Rochalimaea quintana, is an unusual rickettsia that multiplies in the gut of the body louse. Transmission to people can occur by rubbing infected louse feces into abraded (scuffed) skin or outer layer of the whites of the eyes (conjunctiva). Onset of symptoms is sudden, with high fever, headache, back and leg pain and a fleeting rash. Recovery takes a month or more. Relapses are common. Also called shin bone fever, quintan fever, five-day fever, Meuse fever, His' disease, His-Werner disease, Werner-His disease.

Every September in Canada brings a change in the air. Not only does the foliage litter the ground, we all don our fleeces, MEC cargo pants and wool socks, but a very special event occurs in Montreal. This mystical happening beckons migration from green eyed, semi-ambtious, thirsty, amateur skaters from every nook and cranny, East Coast to West. This is Am Getting Paid. Fortunately enough, the C1RCA Canada dudes have a secret to success. I can't be sure, but think it's probably poutine, smoked meat and la biere.
Congratulations to Jon Cos for taking 2nd place, and to Magnus Hanson who came in 3rd, respectively. Check out the video below.
Am Getting Paid 2011 from Frenchie on Vimeo.
From our past experiences, we know Montreal has a lot to offer, so we decided to make an adventure out of our trip to Am Getting Paid and stay for an extra week. We also invited our friends from King Shit publishing to document our trip (You'll have to wait to see the article in 2012).
See what Magnus Hanson, Dustin Henry, John Hanlon, Jeff Falconer, Jon Cos, Hashbrown, and Corey Klim thought of the trip in the below video from King Shit

IU Health Sports Performance recently hosted a weight-training seminar for women. Here's a personal account of that experience as shared by Laura, a Beltway Surgery Center patient who enrolled in the seminar to boost her physical therapy following knee surgery last fall.
This three-part seminar was an inspiration to me as I recover from surgery that repaired damaged cartilage in my knee. The first two speakers were an athletic trainer and a bariatric health and fitness specialist who reminded me that exercise is medicine. They also shared great tips for exercising with limitations and debunked the myth that women will bulk up on a weight-training program.
Weight-training tips
- The most important part of exercise is to make sure you're having fun. Find what you love. On the flip side, don't force yourself to do something you hate.
- Weight lifting is for everyone. For women, it increases bone density, muscle coordination and flexibility. We won't "bulk up" because we lack the testosterone to build really big muscles.
- One pound of weight loss reduces pressure on your knees by roughly four pounds. That's great news for anyone who wants to prevent future knee issues.
Next up was Heather Fink, a registered dietician who specializes in sports dietetics. Information about proper nutrition changes so often that it's baffling. One week, it's high protein/low carbs; the next week, it's low fat. Heather says our daily diet requires three macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein and fat) to properly fuel our bodies and stay healthy.
Nutrition tips
- No matter what exercise you choose, carbohydrates are the main source of energy. Heather encouraged us to look to whole and unrefined grains as healthy options for carbs. Some examples are oatmeal, whole-wheat pitas and quinoa.
- You can also get healthy carbs from fruits and vegetables, as long as you avoid added sugar.
- Healthy options for fats include olive and canola oils. If you're looking for something sweet, add honey or molasses.
- Proteins can come from many sources, including meat, dairy and nuts. Other sources include eggs and beans. I had no clue that beans are such a good source of protein, fiber and carbohydrates!
The last speaker was Julia Ladewski, a competitive weight lifter, ranked as the nation's top powerlifter (at 132 lbs) in 2006. (Read her take on the event on Julia's blog.) Julia was phenomenal. She gave an informative presentation about the benefits of weight training, including muscle stimulation, a better glycogen index, increased bone density, and an improved metabolism and body shape.
The most useful takeaway was a template for building an achievable game plan. Two things are key: 1) be reasonable in your goals, and 2) plan backwards, choosing your end-goal and the steps you need to take in reverse order.
During the second part of Julia's presentation, she demonstrated proper form and provided tips for several exercises. While I may not be ready to jump in head first, I have a plan that incorporates chin-ups, push-ups and squats in my gym routine.
Julia challenged us to make one new goal and set a deadline to achieve it. For now, most of my goals are centered on knee rehab. But I was excited to start thinking about future accomplishments, so I've set what is (hopefully) a reasonable goal for me: I plan to complete the Little Miami Triathlon in October. It's 6 miles of kayaking, 5.5 miles of running and 18 miles of cycling, so I have a lot of work to do!

As you may have noticed, the current Forum Board software we use, phpBB, isn't perfect. I myself have broken it in the past and its spam blocking systems are … well, crap. No offence to phpBB here, there's not many people out there who can offer stuff for free and keep going this long, even during the financial problems the world is currently facing.
However, I am pleased and happy to announce that Meltus has recently purchased a lovely little Licence for vB (vbulletin) Forum Suite. The payment takes a few days to process & verify (I assume to weed out fake payments) but once done, I will get onto installing it and replacing our current install of phpBB with it.
This does mean that the current phpBB Forum, at some point not far off in the future (read: hopefully in less than a week) will become inaccessible while I remove it and replace it with vB.
There is one thing I'm not sure of, so I thought I'd ask you guys for your input:
Do I use vB's transfer program to migrate all of phpBB's user accounts, posts, threads, etc to vB (including all spam bots & spam posts)
Should we start fresh, so you'd have to re-register, but at least it would be clean of all of the garbage that's currently cluttering phpBB up?
Please let me know in the Comments section!
Many thanks,

WSOP Final-Table Money Gaining Interest DollarsReturn Expected To Be Around $10,000 |
The World Series of Poker main event final-table money is now gaining some extra value. On Friday, $20,454,658 was placed into a Fidelity Investments Money Market account, and it will sit there as the final nine wait to resume play in October.
Boston-based Fidelity, a private company, is one of the largest financial services groups in the country.
After the final table was set in the middle of July, the survivors were each paid the ninth-place prize of $754,798 from the initial $27,247,840 final-table prize pool.
The WSOP is using the same account as last year, said Seth Palansky, VP of Corporate Communications for Caesars Interactive Entertainment. He added that there's no set interest rate "due to the [account's] very safe nature and goal of preserving capital at all costs." According to Fidelity's website, Money Markets are "one of the safest types of mutual funds."
Last year's $21.1 million accrued $9,858. Palansky expects this year to be a bit less since the WSOP elected to move the final table up to late October. In 2008, the first year of the final-table delay, the $24.5 million prize pool generated a return of $98,179.
Interest dollars are redistributed amongst the top eight places in a sliding scale percentage consistent with the original payout structure.
The $10,000 buy-in WSOP main event attracted 6,598 entrants, which built a total prize pool of $62 million. First place will walk away with $8.5 million and the gold bracelet.

A friend put together a cute and easy craft. Go buy some cardboard-type 3D letters (Michaels doesn't have them- try JoAnns or Hobby Lobby). Pick out some cute paper, trace the letters onto it and cut them out. Paint the edge of the letters. Glue the paper on with Mod Podge. Lightly sand the edges of the paper for a more finished look. Mod Podge over the top. She let us choose from "Boo" in halloween paper or "Noel" in Christmas paper. I went with "Abby" for my daughter's room. The letters come in all sizes, including giant - try getting one giant letter and doing your last name initial for a family room. Once again, super easy, super cute - go try it!

Old School
Touching your toes for 15 seconds before starting a game used to be the norm, but now, scientists have discovered that moves like that, or "static stretches," are actually bad for you. They make injuries more likely and make your muscles weaker. And just so ya know, when you've been stretching your arm for a while and then feel like it can stretch more, that's your mind playing tricks on you. You've only gotten used to the painful, uncomfortable feeling that the stretch is giving you, and you're not really loosening up your muscles.
So What Now?
Fortunately, there's a new brand of stretching in town, and it's called "dynamic." These dynamic stretches are moves that introduce your muscles to the kind of actions they'll be doing in the upcoming workout. So instead of pulling on your muscles to hold certain positions, these stretches get your blood flowin' and your muscles loosened. They vary depending on which sport you're prepping for, so focus on the parts of the body that you're plannin' on using.
Deets Matter
When you're warming up, it's not enough to just do a few dynamic stretches. Before those, you should wake your bod up with a light jog, no matter what sport you're gettin' into. But be careful – you shouldn't warm up too early or with too much intensity. If you're gonna be coolin' it on the bench for another half hour, wait on those warm-ups for a few more minutes. Then make sure you time your 5 to 10 minutes of easy jogging so that you can do it and a few dynamic stretches right before ya hit the field.

Black Cohosh Benefits
Tweet |
Most of you especially Women might have heard of the Black Cohosh plant. If so then you have definitely heard of the Black Cohosh benefits. For those of you who are hearing this for the first time, the Black Cohosh is a plant from the Buttercup family and is mainly found in open woodlands along the eastern half of North America. For centuries Native Americans used the herb for medicinal treatments especially for issues related to female menstrual cycles. Black Cohosh was effective against problems such as Hot Flashes and problems with Menopause. However the do not just end there. The following section might be interesting for even those buffs with knowledge about the Cohosh plant.
The main areas where the Black Cohosh exhibits tremendous usage are
Kidney Health: For ages, Native Americans have adopted the use of Black Cohosh for treating kidney diseases and symptoms of failure of kidneys.
Kidney Health: For ages, Native Americans have adopted the use of Black Cohosh for treating kidney diseases and symptoms of failure of kidneys.
Rheumatism: The herb has medicinal properties that aid in the treatment of the deadly disease of Rheumatism.
Aids in Delivery of child: This was a practice followed in the 18th century wherein it was believed that black Cohosh could help in labor and delivery.
Muscle Pain: extend to areas like muscle pain relief and is widely used in well accepted remedies for muscle pain across Europe and Australia.
Sedative: Black Cohosh is believed to have powers that make it appropriate to play the role of a sedative.
Common villains like cough and cold: like many other herbs, Black Cohosh is a common household remedy for cold and coughs.
Diuretic: Out of several unknown, this is an important one. The plant actually helps to reduce the excessive water weight plaguing our bodies.
Antioxidant: The herb has potential antioxidant benefits of neutralizing free radicals in our body which may damage our cells and DNA.
Headache: Black Cohosh is an effective remedy for headache.
PMS, Menstrual Pain and Cramps: Many women suffer from these disorders and from ancient times the Black Cohosh was instrumental in formulating affective solutions to these female oriented disorders.
Inflammation: Black Cohosh is in general an anti inflammatory substance used extensively in cardio treatments.
Menopausal Symptoms: Various experiments and studies carried out have shown that Women consuming Black Cohosh had reduced Menopausal symptoms compared to others. The symptoms were found to be gradually disappearing.
Hot Flashes: Black Cohosh is an effective remedy for treatment of Hot Flashes and it was scientifically proved that consumption of substances containing black Cohosh reduced the average Hot Flashes per day to just 0.7 from the high 4.9.
Post Menopausal Anxiety: Scientific experiments have again shown that Women suffering from various Menopause related anxieties showed decreased anxiety levels after continuous treatment with black Cohosh for up to 12 weeks. The levels were measured using the 14 point Hamilton Anxiety Scale to measure anxiety levels, and the Kupperman Menopausal Index to address mostly neurovegatative complaints.
Well most of you might be wondering how such a small herb can have so many medicinal properties. Yes you heard it right folks, the Black Cohosh benefits are an indication that what we often ignore in our backyards is in fact the best solution to several painstaking problems. Our body in several ways and you can search for more such benefits of the plant online. Many plants predominantly shrubs can be effective against a host of otherwise incurable disorders and diseases. So the next time you visit a botanical garden, make sure to ask the guide to explain the medicinal properties of each and every plant present there because you will never know which one might turn useful for you.

"They also lambast the repetitive grind of league, but to these fans the fact that there's no contest for possession of the football is what grates."
And fair enough. Some people dislike particular codes for all sorts of reasons. The things that some don't like, others will love. Some people love lawn bowls best of all.
But over all, nice article. There are some really enjoyable things about league for RL fans.

Vetmedin 5 mg hard capsules
Further information
Pharmacodynamic properties
Pimobendan, a benzimidazole-pyridazinone derivative, is a non-sympathomimetic, non-glycoside inotropic substance with potent vasodilatative properties. Pimobendan exerts its stimulatory myocardial effect by a dual mechanism of action: increase in calcium sensitivity of cardiac myofilaments and inhibition of phosphodiesterase (type III). It also exhibits a vasodilating action through an inhibitory action on phosphodiesterase III activity. The combined evidence from cell culture, laboratory animal and small studies in the target species suggests that the combination of the specific PD properties of pimobendan may reduce the progression of myocardial damage in dogs with MVD and DCM when used together with other standard therapy.
Pharmacokinetic particulars
Absorption Following oral administration of Vetmedin capsules the absolute bioavailability of the active principle is 60 – 63%. Since this bioavailability is considerably reduced when pimobendan is administered with food or shortly thereafter, it is recommended to treat animals approximately 1 hour before feeding.
Distribution The volume of distribution is 2.61/kg, indicating that pimobendan is distributed readily into the tissues. The mean plasma protein binding is 93%
Metabolism The compound is oxidatively demethylated to its major active metabolite (UD-CG12). Further metabolic pathways are phase II conjugates of UD-CG 212, in essence glucuronides and sulphates.
Elimination The plasma elimination half-life of pimobendan is 0.4±0.1 hours which is consistent with a high clearance of 90±19 ml/min/kg and a short mean residence time of 0.5 ± 0.1hours.
The main active metabolite is eliminated with a plasma elimination half-life of 2.0 ± 0.3 hours. Almost the entire dose is eliminated via faeces.

Help Save SXSW from Marketer Douchebaggery - SXSWi 2011
Is SXSWi in danger of being ruined by the influx of marketers to the conference? Coming off of SXSWi 2010, Jolie O'Dell struck a cord with her post WHY SXSW SUCKS "Too many people, not enough tech… dodging and evading these shallow douchebags… only to find swarms of douchebags showing up an hour or so after the location is made known…" We're bringing some smart, caring minds together to move the chatter in the halls into the light of a focused panel. Can SXSWi adapt, or will it be overrun? Has the conference jumped the shark? Voices for both the tech/creator side and the marketer side make up the panel. We're aiming to land on solutions - this isn't meant to be bitch session. How can we address the challenges of a changing audience and optimize the conference for interactions that are valuable? Are some social ground rules called for? What will the audience for SXSWi 2015 look like? Can we envision how it could kick ass? This isn't a challenge unique to SXSW. Most communities struggle similarly to adapt and build value. How can we learn from their mistakes and solutions? The SXSW conference is as resilient as its participants — show up and help #saveSXSW.
