People across the state can officially start shopping for health insurance online at New York State of Health. YNN's Megan Cruz tells you what you need to know about the new marketplace.
NEW YORK STATE -- At 8 a.m. Tuesday, state officials launched New York State of Health. As the site launched, 500 customer service specialists were ready and waiting to tackled your questions in three call centers between Albany and New York City.
Kim Bloomfield works out of one of the Albany offices.
"It's been a little crazy, a lot of people have called in," she said.
"As of 10 a.m. the call center handled over 2,500 calls," said Donna Frescatore, the Executive Director for New York State of Health.
She said on average, callers had to wait about six minutes to speak with a specialist. However, callers said it was worth the wait.
"They were spending seven or more minutes with callers on the phone so they could thoroughly explain the marketplace," said Frescatore. Some common questions included, "What the plan differences are, what's the difference in the costs," noted Bloomfield.
According to Frescatore, the plans offered are with certified providers like Empire Blue Cross. The costs vary depending on the tier you choose. For individuals, the average monthly premium can range from $131 to $215. For small businesses, it ranges from $233 to $392.
In the first two hours, Frescatore said two million people visited the online marketplace. She said it caused some delays in the site, but she remains confident it will get the job done.
"We have a team of technical experts that are onsite watching the website," she said.
Now to avoid fines, individuals and families must enroll in health insurance by March.
Small businesses are not mandated to get coverage, but beginning in 2014, New York State of Health will be the only way for small businesses to receive tax credits.
Businesses with more than 50 employees, they'll have to start providing coverage by 2015.
If you want to speak to someone at the call center, contact the toll free number at (855) 355-5777. The line is open from Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Nice museum. For muscle cars. When in Punta Gorda, a must see.Enjoyed looking at some cars I use to own, many moons ago.
Nice museum. For muscle cars. When in Punta Gorda, a must see.Enjoyed looking at some cars I use to own, many moons ago.
This is thee place if your into hi performance and old cars. Something for everyone, cars from the 1920', motorcycles, Corvettes of every years, all in show room condition.
A superb assemblage of GM built autos that will bring memories back to any adult. A private collection available to the public for a small fee. Nice indoor facility with a great diner if you're looking for upscale diner fare. A must see.
If you are into GM make of car this is OK, but not much else, Oh, forgot the restaurant is nice for a quick bite with good pricing, they also have some nice car events and a monthly flea market.
This is really a very interesting museum and well worth a visit. My only complaint or suggestion would be to add some information about the car with each car. Some will have a small placard stating something like "4 speed, 283 w/four barrel" but nothing more. Many cars have no information at all with them. Part of what makes muscle... More
Saw this museum recently on the show Corvette Nation and decided to drive on down with a friend. This place is heaven for GM muscle car fans. The Corvette collection in itself was worth the drive. We also took a break for lunch in the dinner (burger and a tuna melt with perfect fries). One really cool thing is the... More
We visited this museum Sept 15th. It was truly amazing how many cars were on display. My husband absolutely loved it. He found "his" car he had when he was in college. I sat at a table and told him to have at it. It definitely is a place for the muscle car aficionada.
Viewing all those old cars and seeing some "animated" mechanics was priceless. Lunch in that old fashioned diner is something I would highly recommend. Be prepared to wait for service because there was only one waitress the day we were there.
My son and I walked through the door and both stopped in our tracks. Rows of shining muscle cars and other antiques. It was a short visit but inspiring. Even if your not a car person the art of these vehicles are highlighted nicely.
Fun place to visit, if you like old cars (mostly Chevys). Reasonable admission fee, too. Took lots of pictures.

You take a guy fresh off a boat — let's call him Sailor — and Sailor's boat left a country that didn't have baseball. After explaining what baseball is, you tell Sailor that one baseball team, the Yankees, throws dollars at free agents. After a lengthy explanation that dollars are our currency and why presidents are on low denominations and a non-president is on the hundred and what the hell a free agent is, you then list the top free agent bats for this year: Robinson Cano, Jacoby Ellsbury, Shin-Soo Choo and Carlos Beltran. You then ask Sailor which of those guys the Yankees will get. He'll probably say one of the first couple of players. Or maybe he'll say Robinson or Cano Jacoby because he won't know their names and confuse where commas are when spoken. It's such an obvious Yankee move to get Ellsbury that even Sailor figured it out. It reeks of throwing money at the team. Or maybe the Yankees just figured if they can't work with Jay-Z, they'll work with J-E. The short porch in right won't hurt Ellsbury. What could hurt him is just about everything else that seems to hurt him every other year. Since 2009, his games played has been 153, 18, 158, 74 and 134. Saberhagenmetricans shudder at the thought of drafting Ellsbury following a big year. I'm with them. I won't be drafting him anywhere, especially not after he gets bumped up in drafts from his newly adjusted Yankee tax. For 2014, I'll give him the line of 98/13/57/.279/32. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2014 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ryan Hanigan
When Jose Fernandez walks into the 18-and-over strip club, where only the drinks are virgins, that's called "Rookie Nookie," he flips his rookie cards like they're dollar bills, yelling, "Jose make it rain! Jose make it rain! Get it? Hoe say, 'Make it rain.'" He explains his puns, but he doesn't need to explain his stuff. It's filthy with a side of Dirt Nasty. Last night, his line was 8 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners (2 hits) and 10 Ks. Sure, it was against the Padres, but Nolasco just got his asco handed to him by the same team. Fernandez is in the upper echelon of K-rates (9+) for all pitchers with a more than manageable walk rate (hair above 3). Oh, and he's 20 years old. He can't buy alcohol! He can't legally marry an illegal alien in the state of Mississippi without parental consent! He's so young Jose Tabata's wife could've gave birth to him! He skipped right from High-A to the majors, so this is basically his Double-A season. I just got goose pimples on my butt thinking about how good he can be next year. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I went ahead and picked up Jarrod Dyson this past week only to watch him sprain his ankle before even entering my lineup. ESPN has him listed as 0.0% ownership, so apparently my team doesn't even count in their world. I was about to get all depressed about it and throw on my Skinny Puppy t-shirt and black eyeliner when I realized that this is a SAGNOF world, and that means when one speedster goes down, we just go to the heap for another. We're about 1/4 of the way through the season already, and that means it's time to take a look at some stats for pitchers, catchers, and teams to try to exploit when chasing steals. I'll also take a look at what Will Venable is up to and how Pedro Florimon may be a possible source of cheap speed in very deep leagues. At the beginning of the season, I posted the 2012 numbers for pitchers and catchers who should be exploited or avoided when it comes to steals, as well as team SB allowed for matchup purposes. Here are those same stats through the first 40 games of the 2013 season.
Please, blog, may I have some more?"The Nats Don't Play," was almost the title, but that's too raw for all you suckas. It's too cutting. It cuts the quick and bleeds ever-so-slightly that irritates you when you cut a lemon for your Arnold Palmer. Y'all can't hang with my chinchilla fur that I'm wearing in my picture. (It's just off my shoulder; you can't see it.) B-Real said it best, "You don't know where I'm going cause you haven't been where I've been, understand where I'm coming from?" The Nationals know where I've been. They've dealt with the same thing as me, only they had to pay Zimmerman millions of dollars to get what I got. Which is an ulcer. Thanks, doode! I'll send you the bill for the Zantac I've had to take for the last two years. The Nats called Zimmerman into their office and said, "You only have a hamstring issue, but if it's anything like the injuries you've had in the past that have lasted about 60 days past when they were supposed to, we're bringing up our best prospect, Anthony Rendon. We're gonna tell everyone that it's only for a few weeks while you heal, but we hope you don't come back until July and we can trade you to the highest bidder. What? No, we don't validate!" Rendon is gonna be a great one…some day. Damn, the fantasy baseball fortune cookie ending! Yeah, I'm not sure he's ready just yet, but he's worth a flyer in all leagues. I grabbed him in one league where I have Moustakas, because I'm tired of seeing that gyro-eating-motherfu– Let's just say I'm tired of Moustakas. Best case scenario, Zimmerman has a set back and Rendon stays up and hits for a solid average and gives high-teen power with some very light speed. Another scenario, Rendon hits, Zimmerman returns and the Nats gutter ball Espinosa's value and move Rendon to 2nd. Most likely scenario, Zimmerman returns and Rendon is demoted. Worst case scenario, Rendon shows up at your house at 3 AM and asks to sleep on your couch, seems fine at first then he tells you he has no place to live, stays for months, doesn't ever flush the toilet or fill up the Tang in the fridge then starts dating your aunt, eventually marries her, making him your uncle, a title he insists you call him. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Each week I'll be looking at some favorable match-ups to help you grab a few extra steals for your fantasy team. Whether you are in a weekly or daily league, looking at weak defensive catchers and strong/aggressive base running teams may help you make decisions as to which players you should start or sit in your hunt for an edge in the stolen base category. Since the 2013 season is only a week old, I'll use some data from 2012 to get started and give you an idea of what we will be looking for. Just realize that these are only two dimensions that can affect stolen base totals.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The guys over at Sons of Roto have been hosting Blog Wars for a handful of years now, and this is my second year involved. I ended up in fourth place last year — not too bad, I know. But considering I held first place by a sizable margin from April through August, the fourth place finish takes on a truly bitter taste. My pitching collapsed down the stretch, and I watched helplessly has my ratios ballooned. Alas, I flew too close to the sun on the wings of Lance Lynn. Should've seen it coming…
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'll start an article about Wilin Rosario by talking about Ramon Hernandez just to spite you. Here's the amount of games Ramon has played by season since 2007: 106, 133, 81, 97, 91. Unlike Benjamin Button, Ramon has actually gotten older over those 5 years and will be 36 in May. So we are putting an aging catcher who can't stay healthy behind the plate in Colorado and slapping an ADP tag of 259 on it? BTW, that's ahead of catchers like Carlos Ruiz, A.J.
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is the league we won last year hosted by Scott White of CBS Sports. Yay, us. Okay, new year, new league. Well, not so fast. Last year's league coasted through the season in first place from about May on and if you were industrious enough to click on that link, you'll see it looks like a bit of a mess. We won with Freddy Sanchez and Skip Schumaker? We didn't just win; we won in a walk. I don't tell you to beat into your heads how good we are (maybe a little). I tell you this so you know how deep the league is you're about to look at. No, I don't like Clint Barmes, but if he's getting ABs at MI in this here league, he's worth a roster spot. Anyway, here's our 2012 fantasy baseball team with thoughts on different draft picks:
For sake of clarity: 12 teams, NL-Only, Roto, 5 x 5 — C, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, OF, OF, OF, OF, OF, Util, BN, BN, BN — P, P, P, P, P, P, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
C – Ryan Hanigan $4
C – Geovany Soto $11
1B – Gaby Sanchez $17
2B – Aaron Hill $13
3B – Pablo Sandoval $24

P – Aaron Harang $2
P – Javy Guerra $11
P – Luke Gregerson $8
Bench – Brad Lidge $0 (free round)
Bench – Brandon Lyon $0 (free round)
Bench – Travis Wood $0 (free round)
Please, blog, may I have some more?Evan Longoria is out 3 weeks with an oblique injury. He's not to pick up a bat, ball or AK-47. Looks like the oblique is still the number one injury that no one has any clue about. Intercostal injury twirls its Snidely Whiplash mustache and plots its revenge. For those who lost Holliday and Longoria this weekend, I'm pouring some Mad Dog out for you. BTW, I was just thinking something… CAN WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THE OBLIQUE AND HOW TO PREVENT THESE INJURIES? Seriously, modern medicine step up your game! There's gotta be something that we can do. Have we tried to apply dolphin tears to the sore area? If I were on Celebrity Apprentice, I'd be playing for a cure for oblique injuries. This injury should guarantee everyday ABs for Sean Rodriguez. Great, that eases my pain. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Matt Holliday – Out up to a month for an appendectomy? Isn't this an outpatient procedure? My friend in high school had out his appendix then funneled a forty of Old E to ease the soreness. Granted, he was mental and is now in prison, but c'mon… Buck up, players! I own some of you in fantasy. Having a similar procedure last year, Andres Torres returned after 11 days. Corey Hart took 4 weeks, but he's Amish. I think Holliday will be out 3 weeks. It's too early in the season for them to rush him back. The Federalist, Jon Jay should see most of the time in his stead. Allen Craig will see the occasional ABs though, so in most leagues I wouldn't add either.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jose Tabata, the Latin 21, one-time lauded Yankee prospect, was initially heralded as a power corner-OF but wrist issues have seem to have inspired Tabata to become the next Nyjer Morgan. He'll likely have a harder time outrunning MLB catcher throws than those in AAA. And, much like his doughelganger ciabatta, the rest of his stats may be tough to swallow. (BTW, does he realize that the B in SB stands for base, not baby? Similar misconception for Kris Benson when he found out that SO stands for strikeouts and not slutty outfits.) Tabata went 2-for-4 with a steal, leaving with a leg cramp. He'll be fine. I'd grab him in all but the shallowest leagues for steals. You could get some power. What's the worst that happens? He goes 0-for-35 and steals your baby? Big whoop! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Brad Lincoln – 6 IP, 5 ER, 9 baserunners, 3 Ks. The Nats were treated to another major league debut… Jose Tabata. Oh, and Lincoln. I just went over Brad Lincoln for fantasy. After watching him, he didn't change my mind about only grabbing him in NL-Only leagues.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

The School of Architecture in Copenhagen has selected approx. 1000. Kevi chairs Model 2537 in polyurethane foam. These Kevi chairs replaced the Wegner FDB-chair, which, for many years, served as student chairs. The FDB-chair did not meet the modern requirements of ergonomics and various working positions, and it is important for students who spend day and night working on their projects to sit well and have the option to adjust the chair exactly as they please. Integral foam on seat and back are equally durable and suitable for an environment with lots of glue, scissors and cutting tools. The students spend many hours on Kevi-chairs and the chairs are constantly in use, which also makes high demands for durability.

Hit Man
Texas Monthly reports on the undercover murder-for-hire investigations of Gary Johnson, a Houston psychology teacher who works for the cops. The story reveals the techniques used by Johnson to convince people that he is an experienced professional killer and "their one best hope for a better life." The article follows Johnson's start and development in his career as an investigator. "Although the professional hit man is a staple of detective fiction, no one is really certain if there is someone in this country who makes a living as a hired gun," reports the magazine.

The Neulander murder
Carol Neulander, a mother of three and the owner of two popular bakeries, was bludgeoned to death in her Cherry Hill, N.J. home...her husband, a popular local rabbi, was a suspect in the murder. Police theorized that Rabbi Fred J. Neulander hired someone to kill his wife so he could continue an affair with a local radio personality without getting a divorce and risking the loss of his congregation." Reporter Nancy Phillips "spent hours talking abut the case" with Len Jenoff, a private investigator hired by the rabbi to investigate the death and learned that Jenoff and an accomplice had committed the murders at the rabbi's bidding.

Making a Killing
In the 1970s, Walter Waldhauser, Jr. was involved in four insurance and inheritance-related murders for hire. After serving less than a third of his time, Waldhauser was paroled and is now the president of a viatical company which buys the life insurance policy of terminally ill patients - for pennies on the dollar - and pockets the money when they die.

Doctor Death: Murder for Hire
San Diego Magazine looks at a murder for hire situation between two doctors. "Orthopedic surgeon William Shoemaker, driving on Interstate 805 from his home in Rancho Santa Fe to his office in Mission Valley, had indeed been shot.... Initially, local media called the incident a random attack... It was, it turns out, a part of a Kafkaesque tale of greed, revenge and death, in which Shoemaker was just one of the innocent intended victims... San Diego police began to suspect Shoemaker's former medical partner, Dr. Ron Neufeld, who was enmeshed in a bitter legal dispute with Shoemaker." Neufeld later committed suicide.

I finished up 2011 with 800.2 miles. I have set a few goals for myself for 2012...
If given good health, my running goals for the year 2012 besides my goal of covering 1,000 miles are to get a new personal best in the half marathon (need to beat 1:55:46), running a sub 22 min 5k and getting a new personal best in the mile (need to beat 6:52).
I have a new obsession too... knee high "crazy" socks. I love them and i am slowly collecting all different colors. They are so fun! I have a picture of me in them but it is on our new laptop that has major issues that we are taking back to the store to get a new one. Electronics at our house= disaster! My husband thinks i'm a little silly but guess who brought me a new pair of crazy socks home the other day...i think i'm winning him over :)
So what are your goals for 2012?? Any runs you want to run? Times you would like to beat? A first you would like to complete?
Happy running in 2012!

Last Saturday, Bradley passed his written driving test and got his temps. Holy Cow!!! All four of my children are driving now. How did that happen? A few weeks ago, he stole the ball in his basketball game and dunked it.
Also last weekend, Zachary shot his first turkey while hunting with his uncle Jimmy, Kevin's brother. The event was bitter-sweet without Kevin being there to celebrate with us. When I saw the below photos, I cried because I was awestruck by how much Zack reminded me of his dad.
Kellie is struggling to find full time employment. She really wants to be able to move out on her own. I have to give her credit for all the maturing she's done these past few months. She has devoted a lot of time looking for a new job without much luck and she hasn't given up. She's stopped certain activities that aren't good for her, realized the importance of having a good driving record, learned who her real friends are and has goals for the future.
Kristie moved out a few weeks ago with her boyfriend. She, too, is desperately trying to land a full time job without any luck. But, she keeps trying. Our relationship has been so much better lately and that makes me very happy.
As for me, I'm still dating Tim.

Allow one good sized-trout per person. Clean, split open, then remove the backbone. Season some coarse oatmeal with salt and pepper to taste and coat the fish well on both sides with the crumb mixture. Heat 1 tablespoonful of butter in a frying-pan for each fish, and fry until golden, turning once. Drain, and serve with wedges of lemon and parsley garnish. This makes an excellent high tea dish and is delicious served with baked potatoes and a crisp green salad.

Wake Forest Coach Jim Grobe sounds as if he is staying put.
For the second consecutive week, Grobe made it known that he has no interest in other jobs. It has been speculated that Grobe could be a candidate for several openings, including the one at Alabama.
''I'm a Wake Forest guy,'' he said yesterday.
The 15th-ranked Demon Deacons (11-2) are coming off a 9-6 victory against Georgia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. It was Wake Forest's second league title, but its first since 1970. Wake Forest will play No. 5 Louisville in the Orange Bowl.
The Demon Deacons were predicted to finish last in the Atlantic Division of the A.C.C., but this year's surprising run has raised Grobe's national profile.
He is 37-34 in six seasons at Wake Forest, and he is the first coach to take the Demon Deacons to bowl games twice since they joined the A.C.C.
But Grobe talked yesterday of maintaining the Demon Deacons' success next year instead of winning games at another university.
''I'm perfectly happy at Wake Forest,'' he said. ''I think some people like having their names floated all over the place. I've been around long enough that it has no appeal for me. I couldn't be happier. I'm not only happy with this football team and the staff and our families are happy, but I'm happy with where we're headed.''
RODRIGUEZ MEETS WITH ALABAMA -- West Virginia Coach Rich Rodriguez met for 90 minutes with Alabama's athletic director yesterday but described their discussions as ''informal,'' ESPN.com reported.
Rodriguez and the Alabama official, Mal Moore, met in New York, where both are attending the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame dinner.
Rodriguez is 49-24 in six seasons at West Virginia. He signed a three-year extension with the Mountaineers on June 24 and has six years left on his contract, which pays him about $1.1 million a year.
KELLY GETS STARTED AT CINCINNATI -- Brian Kelly said he expected to turn Cincinnati into a top-25 mainstay, win a Big East title right away and make sure his players graduate.
But before he gets started on that daunting to-do list, he has to figure out what to do about their bowl game.
Kelly, the Bearcats' new coach, arrived on campus and met with players Monday, a few hours after he accepted the job vacated by Mark Dantonio. Yesterday, he was introduced at a news conference that felt more like a pep rally: cheerleaders and the band were on hand, and the public was invited to attend and ask questions.
Kelly, who built Central Michigan into a Mid-American Conference champion in three years, promised similar results at Cincinnati.
''We're going to win a championship here right away,'' he said. ''We're on a five-minute plan here. We have to win right away.''
First, he has to decide how to get the Bearcats through the end of their season. Cincinnati went 7-5 under Dantonio, who was hired by Michigan State. The Bearcats will play Western Michigan in the International Bowl on Jan. 6 in Toronto. Defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, who interviewed for the head coaching position, has been running the team since Dantonio left.
Kelly will leave Central Michigan before it plays in the Motor City Bowl on Dec. 26. He said he was not sure how big a role he would play in preparing his new team for its game.
''It's a very fluid situation now,'' he said. ''I'm going to be here at Cincinnati. In terms of whether I'll be coaching on the field, that has to be determined.''

"of all the cards (and we did find a few we really liked) this one seemed to really get the joy we feel now across. It is a very unique announcement...not like the typical everyday announcements that we have seen. This is the one we are going to get. Now just deciding which photo to use.."
"Designing this card was quick and easy. I inserted black and white photos and kept the recommended text. The quality of this product is great! I was very pleased when I received the card. It arrived on time as scheduled."
"We chose a black and white photo and rounded corners for this and it came out very nicely. The blue label popped out against the photo-which we chose an opposite orientation on than is in the example. We also added a casual photo on the back of the whole family with a short note and had enough room left over to write personal messages or funny thought bubbles to those we are close to. We got the matte finish which came out nicely-the paper is a good weight. We got many compliments on them!"
"I really like the color combo of this card. It lights up the picture and really makes a statement. You know this card on a fridge is going to get all the attention! I also think the giant first letter is really cool. I have had people calling all week to tell me how much they love this announcement!"
"This card looks absolutely gorgeous! I do not consider myself particularly artistic or creative but the card turned out great thanks to the step by step instructions on the website. Also I know this card is labeled "Basil snow" but it doesn't need to be used for only winter babies. We had a May baby and I liked the design so much I used it anyways. To me it doesn't look like snow but more like cute swirly designs. Everyone has loved them! I went with semi gloss and the picture looks so clear."

Of the Accidents which led in Rome to the creation of Tribunes of the People; whereby the Republic was made more perfect.
They who lay the foundations of a State and furnish it with laws must, as is shown by all who have treated of civil government, and by examples of which history is full, assume that 'all men are bad, and will always, when they have free field, give loose to their evil inclinations; and that if these for a while remain hidden, it is owing to some secret cause, which, from our having no contrary experience, we do not recognize at once, but which is afterwards revealed by Time, of whom we speak as the father of all truth.
In Rome, after the expulsion of the Tarquins, it seemed as though the closest union prevailed between the senate and the commons, and that the nobles, laying aside their natural arrogance, had learned so to sympathize with the people as to have become supportable by all, even of the humblest rank. This dissimulation remained undetected, and its causes concealed, while the Tarquins lived; for the nobles dreading the Tarquins, and fearing that the people, if they used them ill, might take part against them, treated them with kindness. But no sooner were the Tarquins got rid of, and the nobles thus relieved of their fears, when they began to spit forth against the commons all the venom which before they had kept in their breasts, offending and insulting them in every way they could; confirming what I have observed already, that men never behave well unless compelled, and that whenever they are free to act as they please, and are under no restraint everything falls at once into confusion and disorder. Wherefore it has been said that as poverty and hunger are needed to make men industrious, so laws are needed to make them good. When we do well without laws, laws are not needed; but when good customs are absent, laws are at once required.
On the extinction of the Tarquins, therefore, the dread of whom had kept the nobles in check, some new safeguard had to be contrived, which should effect the same result as had been effected by the Tarquins while they lived. Accordingly, after much uproar and confusion, and much danger of violence ensuing between the commons and the nobles, to insure the safety of the former, tribunes were created, and were invested with such station and authority as always afterwards enabled them to stand between the people and the senate, and to resist the insolence of the nobles.

France committed to closing its oldest nuclear reactor by 2017
The French Energy Minister says the government is committed to closing the country's oldest nuclear reactor by 2017. Two people were burnt in an accident there earlier this week.
On Wednesday, a steam leak injured two workers at the Fessenheim plant in eastern France, near the Swiss and German borders.
Speaking on the French radio station France Info, the Ecology and Energy Minister, Delphine Batho, said: "Fessenheim will be closed as soon as possible in socially and technically responsible conditions."
"Nuclear plants are being phased out across the world in coming years and this is an industrial issue for France," she said.
France, the world's most nuclear-dependent country, operates 58 reactors and has been a leading international proponent of atomic energy.
But in a deal with the Greens before this year's parliamentary and presidential elections, President Francois Hollande's Socialist party promised to reduce reliance on nuclear energy from more than 75 percent to 50 percent by shutting 24 reactors by 2025.
Hollande had also pledged to close Fessenheim by 2017.
France's reliance on nuclear power has been increasingly called into question since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, which prompted Germany to announce plans to shut down all of its reactors by the end of 2022.
On stream since 1977, Fessenheim has two water reactors. It is built along a huge canal and draws water for cooling from the Rhine river.
The plant is considered vulnerable to seismic activity and flooding because of its location.

After more than 30 years working at a manufacturing plant, Wanda Goodspeed was looking for a little peace and quiet. She found it as a volunteer at the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration Monastery in Clyde.
"Retirement requires such a huge life adjustment, and I spent so many years around noise," the Nodaway County resident said. "God knew just what I needed to help me move on, so he led me here."
Goodspeed's journey began a year ago when she was part of a group from the First United Methodist Church in Maryville that visited the sisters' tea house. She said she was overwhelmed by the contemplative atmosphere.
"I couldn't believe anyplace could be that peaceful," she said, "so I quickly signed up to visit with my church group again three weeks later."
That group toured the monastery's Soap Shop where Sister Cathleen Marie Timberlake hand-crafts a variety of soaps and lotions, the sale of which helps support the nuns' monastic life.
It was here that Goodspeed discovered a kindred spirit.
Since meeting Timberlake, Godspeed visits the monastery a couple of days each week and has logged more than 450 hours doing "whatever needs to be done."
With no experience in soap-making, Goodspeed admits there was a bit of a learning curve.
"It took a while to learn the process," she said. "But Sister Cathleen Marie is a fabulous teacher, and she is so patient with me."
In addition to working at the Soap Shop and elsewhere, Goodspeed joins the sisters for prayer and welcomes the time in she gets to spend in chapel.
"The sisters make me feel like I am a part of their family," she said. "Joining them for prayer is like stopping for a moment to catch a new breath before continuing on with my day."
Timberlake calls Goodspeed "my other soap-maker,"
"Wanda is so wonderful to have in our shop," she said. "We just love her."
Retirement can be a scary step, and Goodspeed said she is lucky to have found a volunteer calling at just the right time.
"Volunteering your time for a group of people is a heartfelt endeavor," she said. "You quickly learn the benefits of giving back, and you soon realize how much you receive in return. It brings a good balance to your life."

Part III: Human Trafficking Victim in Malaysia

Part II: Human Trafficking Victim in Malaysia
Wednesday, March 7 at 5:54pm, while I was on duty doing ocular visit to hotels for our upcoming event next month, I received an alarming SMS from Lovely saying:
Te, nasa police station ako. Nakatakas ako.
I immediately called her just to know if she's okay and treated well in the police station, and also to keep her calm and occupied. I also called Mr. Esparto. With much luck, while Lovely was "running" literally, finding her way out of that "place", Mr. Esparto was calling her just for an update. He told me that he is on his way to the Police Station which was 30 minutes away.
I was nervously shaking, and praying that these policemen were not controlled by her Employer. I also reported the news to Bantay OFW Team and they made sure that our "contacts" are intact.
40 minutes later, I called Lovely again to check on her. I was glad that Mr. Esparto made it on time. My worry was somebody from the club might also come to the police station and take her back before Mr. Esparto could take her.
That same night, Lovely was taken to the shelter provided by the Philippine Embassy. I personally thanked Mr. Esparto for doing such action and not letting us down this time. He also promised that he will be escorting Lovely to the Airport as soon as she got her flight schedule, and help her sort her ticket expenses. He's forgiven for advising my cousin to take a cab instead during the first attempt of escape.
I also called Consul General Villa and asked how soon can they send her home. As expected, there was no concrete answer and that everything will be coordinated with DFA and OWWA. How soon? That I do not know.

Restaurant Performance Index - RPI
Definition of 'Restaurant Performance Index - RPI'
A monthly index tracking the performance of the restaurant industry. The Restaurant Performance Index (RPI) is calculated based on answers given in response to a survey sent out to restaurateurs nationwide each month. The survey gauges answers in key areas such as same-store sales, traffic, labor, CAPEX, and others.
Investopedia explains 'Restaurant Performance Index - RPI'
The index is divided into two main components: a "current situation index" and an "expectations index". The current situation index data is based on current or recent indicators during the reference month, while the expectations index is based on forward-looking indicators such as how much capital the restaurant plans to use in the next six months. The RPI is published at the end of each month.

Even April's bright spot, the lower unemployment rate, fades on closer inspection.
The government only counts people as unemployed if they're looking for work. And 340,000 Americans stopped looking and dropped out of the labor force in April, which is why the unemployment rate fell slightly. The dropouts mean just 63.6 percent of working-age Americans were working or looking for work, the lowest since 1981.
It has been almost three years since the Great Recession ended in June 2009. Economists say countries usually flounder for several years after a financial crisis like the one that hit the United States in 2008.
Damaged banks are reluctant to lend. Borrowers who took on too much debt in the good times change their ways, cut their spending and try to repair their finances. The economy grows slowly.
And after this financial crisis, the economy is trying to gather speed without two of the engines that usually help power economic recoveries: housing and government spending.
A housing collapse caused the crisis, and home construction isn't doing much to lead the way out. Housing hasn't contributed to economic growth since 2005, though a recent burst of apartment construction might change that this year.
Government hiring also normally boosts employment after a recession. Not this time. Cities, towns and counties, especially, have been cutting employment. Private employers have added jobs every month since February 2010, noted Gary Burtless, senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution. Over that same period, government payrolls have dropped by 500,000.
Local governments are beginning to recover some of the tax revenue lost in the recession and its aftermath. But government hiring hasn't started yet: 15,000 government workers, most of them in local schools, lost their jobs in April.
The recovery has one thing going for it: Even meager gains in jobs will feed on themselves and create growth that eventually becomes self-sustaining. The hiring leads to spending, which stimulates demand and leads to more hiring, which leads to more spending. The country has created 1.5 million jobs in eight months.
The economists AP surveyed said they believe the economy has entered such a "virtuous cycle." But they said they don't expect unemployment to reach a healthy level — below 6 percent — until 2015 or later.
Until then, many companies are likely to behave like the North American division of Philips, the healthcare and consumer products company. It is hiring, but more slowly than in years past.
The company is trying to fill 400 jobs, including 127 in Cleveland, where it has a plant that makes medical imaging equipment. Things are improving, said Cynthia Burkhardt, the company's vice president of talent acquisition. But "I wouldn't say that we're full steam ahead right now. Everyone's cautious about the economy."

-- areas had claimed she was the victim of abuse at the hands over the next boyfriend.
Even though the defense did not present a single shred of evidence of that abuse.
Instead the attorneys called a psychologist who claimed that based on his findings -- Ares had suffered from -- post traumatic stress disorder.
And this domestic violence expert right here also testified the -- areas showed signs of abuse.
Prosecutors pointed out that expert had previously given a seminar entitled is Snow White.
A battered woman.
Joining us now the criminal defense attorney Brian Foster he's been in this courtroom and covered the trial as a legal analyst for our station.
Don't locally KS -- Fox ten for Phoenix but good to see you and thank you surprises at all.
You know what I was not surprised I was only surprised that the jury took probably about a day longer than I thought they would to reach under unanimous verdict.
-- now we move on to what is probably the most crucial phase of the ball.
And that is well first you have to have this hearing at -- and then basically a mini trial on whether she should be put to death.
Yeah that's exactly what's gonna happen -- are gonna -- what they call the prosecution have to establish.
That's the elements.
Not cruel and heinous crimes were committed here and if that in fact occurs and if he had jury can reach a unanimous verdict.
That they've proven that beyond any reasonable doubt.
-- the case will proceed to the penalty phase which will determine whether or not Shiite gets the death penalty or not -- we're talking about it if this -- in California would be special circumstances in the -- I guess it's.
Aggravating circumstances and there's a list of them and only one of them has to be met right.
And that's absolutely right the state has to prove beyond any reasonable doubt.
That this was a heinous crime are that it was cruel and depraved and you're right there's a whole laundry list of things that -- that can be shown.
-- in this case I think they'll focus primarily on you know cruel or heinous just given the graphic and horrific way that she basically slaughtered this guy -- that you.
-- your spot on outlook.
It's confusing to some people but they're you know she's guilty but seven of the twelve also -- guilty of felony murder.
-- explain very briefly became what that means it and what that portends if any thing for this next face the death penalty phase if that happens.
Okay -- they got all of the jurors found that there was premeditated first degree murder and I think seven of the jurors also found.
That there was clear -- clear convincing evidence of felony murder and what that meant was that.
He was actually killed while she was in the act of committing a felony and they were a number of different felonies that Martinez in the state presented.
That's the jury could find as the credit get her first step in -- to find that the F felony murder -- occurred in date seven of them found that five of them did not.
Whether that bears any relation to what the jury's gonna do in the penalty phase.
I think it does I think there's at least seven of the jurors chef who are going to be sitting back thinking.
You know I found her guilty of first -- -- murder on two different counts and I think that does not bode well for -- area -- Bryant.
Only on fox believe it or not -- -- is speaking out.
We will hear what -- -- herself has to say about the verdict today in her own words tonight on the record with Greta Van Susteren 10 o'clock eastern time only.
On fox Brian how did that happen.
How does she get the speed and overall this.
Well I tell you what you know she she has the right to speak to the media -- she's done that both before the trial.
And during the trial through tweets.
I'm sure that her defense counsel has been screaming at her to not do that.

Does a drive caddy for the optical bay interfere with the subwoofer?
This question is archived. No new answers are allowed, and only the question's owner may edit it.
Yesterday I got my new MacBook Pro. Today I replaced the optical drive with a hard drive using a hard drive caddy for the optical bay.
Since I did this, I have noticed a distinct lack of mid and bass in the sound of the speakers. Is it a known issue that a hard drive caddy could interfere with the waveguide for the subwoofer - or is it more likely that I have accidentally dislodged a connector?

It's everywhere! Shirts, leggings, dresses even shoes have all conformed to the cut-out trend. This spring is all about showing off a little skin, but in a tasteful sexy manner. I love how it can be sophisticated and sleek yet edgy at the same time. What is wonderful about this trend is that everyone can wear it. If some fashionistas aren't comfortable with showing skin there is always the mesh option. Here are a few items I thought were darling. Mind you I wanted to stay in the black and white color story since those colors are big on the runway.
Cut Out Dresses
(Lto R) Asos Midi Dress with Sheer Detail Asos.com, Harness Maxi Dress Nastygal.com, Mesh Cutout Scuba Peplum Dress CharlotteRusse.com
(L to R) Asos Vest with Structured Cut Out Back Asos.com, BCBGMAXAZRIA Irene Sleeveless Cutout Top Zappos.com, Black Cut Out Shirt Forever21.com

What do you ladies think of the cut out trend? Is it something you can see in your closet or a trend you'll skip right over?

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

More Ueno and Ameyokocho
More photos of Ueno and Ameyokocho on that hot October afternoon a few weeks ago! This place really is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo, both for domestic and foreign visitors to Tokyo. The shopping is in my opinion second to none in Tokyo, both in terms of prices and in variation. There's a huge variety of shops and many little arcades and malls nestled among the restaurants and hidden under the train tracks. This is also where quite a few different genres of subcultures converge for their shopping needs, as you will see anyone from sports team freaks to old men trying out golf jackets to rockabilly boys, punks, skaters, vintage military gear lovers and many more. The area is right between Ueno and Akihabara which means that you could easily spend a couple of days slowly browsing your way from one end of to the other. The first photo is of one of the three different tourist bus lines heading out from Ueno station and covering the area, a great way to see the city if you are a tired of walking around. The bus is called Megurin.
Ueno and Ameyokocho
It is the last day of October and the word most suited to describe this month would probably be "hot". We had the highest October temperature ever recorded in Tokyo, earlier in the month, and I am still rolling up my shirt sleeves when stepping outside. On one of those really hot days, as the sun was setting, I took a quickie walking photo tour of the colorful Ueno/Ameyokocho area. Starting from in front of Ueno JR Station, the shopping streets here are full of shops, street stalls, restaurants, hotels, cafes and even the odd house of ill repute. The third and second photo from the end should be of special interest to the casual tourist, as it shows one of the restaurants of the biggest tempura chain in Japan, Tendon Tenya. Apart from cheap and good tempura it also serves soba and udon, and it is a cost effective way of experiencing these three Japanese specialities. The portions are larger than the average Japanese fast food restaurant's as well. You can see their mouth watering official web site here. They also have a shop in Bangkok if you want to try Japanese food in Thailand.
Torigoe Shrine Festival – Men
Few things are as attractive as a confident, natural, relaxed man with a purpose. If you look around the web these days there are plenty of photos of very beautiful or very powerful men and women, but very few flattering photos of everyday, standard men. As a photographer, taking photos of beautiful things is very easy and very rewarding. Point and click. The more beautiful the person is the better the photo. A monkey with an instamatic could not fail to get a good photo of Kate Moss for example. But what attracts me in photography is to find the beauty hidden in the everyday, to find the most flattering aspect of any person I see. Like these men who took part in the Torigoe Shrine festival one evening earlier this summer. None of them would be invited to the runway and you would probably pass any of them on the street without thinking. But in reality, if you look closely enough, there is as much beauty in all of these faces as there is in the most highly paid supermodel in Paris. Of course it helps that a Japanese festival with its community spirit, uniforms equalizing everyone across nations, class and age, and the singleminded purpose of the festival, where the normal everyday machines temporarily surrenders to the human spirit.
When Touristing in Tokyo – Asakusa
If I have to rank the many tourist destinations in Tokyo and give you the place that should be on the top list of any tourist with the ambition to see Tokyo, it is easily the Asakusa district. I have blogged about this part of the city and the fantastically colorful Sensoji (Tokyo's first and grandest temple) many times before but I just can't help myself from pulling up the camera whenever I pass. Everytime I visit I have the ambition to find the odd little spots I have missed earlier, to go for details rather than large open views but I always get blown away by the colors and size of everything. Asakusa is easily the second greatest city attraction (ok, technically the greatest but Gion in Kyoto still wins for pure charm, beauty and dignity) in Japan. You can make several little trips (the place changes atmosphere and color so much during the day) or spend an entire day here from morning to midnight. Luckily most of Tokyo's backpacker hostels are in the area. Use the tags at the bottom of the post to find more posts about Asakusa!
The many gates of the temple are fantastically photogenic, and the nearby bridge over Sumida river tends to be a popular photo spot with tourists and locals. One local lady even decided to climb the bridge pillars to get a better view! Next to the famous Kaminarimon you'll also find the number one souvenir associated with the gate: Kaminariokoshi. In the last photo you'll see a couple checking out the shop just before closing one evening a few weeks ago.

Skating Champion Michelle Kwan, with an Honorary Doctorate, Addresses Southern Vermont College's Class of 2010
May 10, 2010
Watch Michelle Kwan's speech on YouTube.
View Commencement article on USA Today.
Michelle Kwan, the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, received an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Southern Vermont College on Saturday, May 8, at the College's 83rd commencement exercises. "In most pursuits, you can't look up on the scoreboard and know precisely where you stand, " Kwan said in her keynote address. "And so most of the time, in your lives and careers, you'll be the one scoring yourself. Let the standard be high."
Kwan, a California native, was named the nation's first Public Diplomacy Envoy for the U.S. State Department in 2006, a role which has brought her to Argentina, Korea, China and Russia to speak to youth about America, its culture and values, and the life lessons learned through sports. She is currently a graduate student at Tufts University's Fletcher School of International Affairs.
James L. Wainscott, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Office of AK Steel Corporation, also received the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters during the commencement exercises.
Southern Vermont College conferred associate's degrees and bachelor's degrees to 93 students on Saturday afternoon, a class that has achieved "remarkable successes," according to President Karen Gross. Prior to the keynote address, two SVC graduates, Danielle Hume of Sheffield, Vt., and Heather Broome of Cambridge, N.Y., offered their classmates parting remarks.
Eight graduates earned valedictory and salutatory honors. The traditional baccalaureate degree Valedictorian was David Gage of Gloversville, N.Y. The nontraditional baccalaureate degree Valedictorian was Kiki Smith of Bennington, Vt. The traditional baccalaureate degree Salutatorian student was Bethany Stolz of Hubbardston, Mass.; nontraditional baccalaureate degree Salutatorian was Mary LaBombard of Adams, Mass.
In the associate's degree program, the traditional Valedictorian student was Melissa Millett of Lenox, Mass. The nontraditional Valedictorian associate's degree program student was Melissa Rousseau of Windsor, Mass. The traditional Salutatorian was Rebecca Maynes of Pittsfield, Mass. The nontraditional associate's degree Salutatorian was Courtney Chittenden of Pownal, Vt.
Three traditional awards were presented to graduating students. The William A. Glasser Award, honoring a student for achieving outstanding personal and academic growth while at the College, was given to Laura Sullivan of New Fairfield, Conn. The Lynda Curry Memorial Award, honoring the graduate who best exemplifies the fulfillment of the College's mission, was given to Patricia St. Hilaire of Bennington. The Edward H. Everett Award, acknowledging numerous contributions to the Southern Vermont College community, was presented to Bethany Stolz of Hubbardston, Mass.

IML weekend 2011 | Live report and photo gallery
Blurry remembrances from the weekend that was.
Everyone I've spoken to remembers very little of this past IML weekend, which is always a good sign. I have a knack for spending Memorial Day weekend elsewhere, so this was my first IML in a while and I had a lot of fun. I managed to take a few notes:
Friday, May 27
Arrival at the Hyatt Regency, the host hotel for the weekend. Thousands of people are flooding the hotel lobby, which means it's almost as crowded as Sidetrack on a weekend night. Leather daddies, pups and their handlers and lots of Boystown boys sporting their first harness abound. "IML is about reconnecting, sharing a beer and feeling sexy about yourself," one friend tells me. I hug another friend and wind up all sticky from his latex.
After spending $16 at the lobby bar on two vodka sodas served in Dixie cups, my friends explain that IML is all about renting a room at the host hotel for the weekend and setting up your own bar. We head to their room for beverage refills. One of my friends strips off his latex. His dick has turned purple from wearing his cock ring too tight.
There are three free parties happening simultaneously as part of the weekend kickoff, the Uniform party, the Gear party and the San Francisco Folsom party. The Uniform and Gear Parties are all about mixing and mingling, while only the SF party is DJ-driven. Everyone seems to be floating freely among the three.
Back in my friends' hotel room, I'm very drunk and flirting relentlessly with an acquaintance of mine, which is very inappropriate. The four guys who have rented the room have started stripping off their clothes and are pairing up. The rest of us get the clue and return to the parties. The sexual energy is high and everyone seems on the prowl. There's lots of canoodling and making out. I'm seeing a lot of dicks. Wondering what kind of diversity training the hotel staff undergoes before the weekend begins is the only intelligent thought I can still manage. By 2:30am I call a cab.
My bedroom is spinning.
In line at Hot Doug's (my hangover cure). The line is already 50 people deep and I realize how strange it is to see such a large gathering of people not wearing assless chaps and military gear.

Trying to get primary custody from ex wife
May 05, 2011, 05:59:31 pm »
Quick background, I kept a log on wife's comings and goings for 1 1/2 years from the time my dtr was 1 and the second dtr was on the way. My wife was gambling at casinos, after having lost her money at least 3 times from Commodities Trading. Then I found out about more debts she had incurred which alerted me to check further, then found out that the house had been in foreclosure for 6 months and was scheduled to be auctioned off. Fast forward to now. She convinced the GAL that her problem was not so bad or long term and that she was done with gambling, went to a family counselor who also believed her (she is very convincing). She now has primary custody and lives in Anacortes; financially I was not able to stay in the area and needed to move in with family in Spokane, have the 2 girls (now 2 and 4 years old) 1 week per month. I am still in touch with some people there who are supportive of me and know she is back to gambling (although she now goes to the casino in Tulallup), and leaves the girls with her now 14 year old son while she is gone. She tells people there that she has a night job, but her car is there at the casino. I hired a PI for 3 days and he verified this information and took pictures (went to the casino around 7, still was not home at 4AM) The half brother is diabetic and the information and pictures from the PI show he does not pay attention to the girls. Also we have been able to verify that her driver's license is suspended from unpaid tickets and have taken pictures of her driving with the kids in the car. I have sent all this information and more to my attorney over there but response is slow I am not sure she has the interest or the time to spend much time on my case. I would like to know if it would be a good idea to have a second lawyer that I can confer with and who is a proven father's right lawyer or if I should try to get more PI information on her or both. I am hoping to get primary custody that allows them to live with me here in Spokane. I was able to transfer here in my job.

Honestly it will be VERY VERY hard to get
full custody
of kids that young without a neglect case and child services taking the kids away.
You can use that info, to mandate her to gambling counseling and add more to your
court order
(like mother must call you first to babysit if she will be away more than 3 hours).
How far away are you to her? (not familiar with your towns sorry...). The closer you are the better to maybe getting JOINT custody. As they get to school age, you really need to be in their school district or close to it to make the Joint custody work.
I think you would need more proof that she is there a lot. She can say, I was there for a weekend for XX birthday...or something like that. You would have to prove that when she has kids that they are constantly being babysat by 14 year old.
Do you ever talk to the 14 year old? 14 is old enough to babysit...call her local police and see if there is a time limit to it...like not the whole weekend but usually it is up to parents discretion on that...
The driver's license, you can call her local police and let them know when she is driving...like after she drops kids to you...and have them pull her over when you have kids in your custody.

Things have gotten more sticky. The ex wife is making several false statements and has served me with a restraining order. I will contact my lawyer tomorrow, but would really like some information from anyone who has been there.

Do not break that order. Do not call or go near her even if she calls you or asks you to meet. Look on your RO papers. It should have a date to show up for court. Make sure you are there with proof on why you should not have an RO. If you keep it, ask for one way to be in touch to find out about daughter usually they allow email. Also, ask how pick-ups will work now and if you are allowed to call children.
Judges see this all the time but just be very nice and say you will stay away from ex but want to be an involved with your children and want to now how you will see children.
What were her reasons for getting RO?

Thanks for responses. It is difficult to explain things in this setting and I am trying to keep things brief. I hired a Private Investigator who followed her for 3 days and his report showed her back at the casino 45 minutes away, leaving the 2 little girls overnight with her 14 year old son (who is also diabetic). When I called
, they advised me to call police next time I know this is happening since to have her so far away for so long a time frame is concerning. So next time her (ex wife's) sister called me about seeing her car at the casino, I did that. When my parents and I met the ex at a ferry terminal to return the girls (we were over there for the week end), she accused me of putting a devise on her car (the PI did that and when I told her that, that is how she found out about the PI) and also because my uncle was on the same ferry, she was accusing us of having him follow her. (not true, it was coincidental) I tried to get her to talk to me before getting on the ferry and she portrayed to the ferry person tjat I was trying to keep her from leaving. She claims that I call her repeatedly late at night, but never call after 8 PM and only so I can talk to the girls, about 1-3 times per week, will keep trying only if she doesn't respond. One time, I called the police because I was worried she had gone to the casino and left the girls alone. I cannot believe anything she says, as she has repeatedly lied and tries to hide her gambling activities (she tells people there that she has a night job). She claims that I want to know everything she does at every minute, which is not true although I was trying to get her to tell me who her boyfriend was because the girls spend time with him and talk about him.
The newest information is that it turns out the RO was served on me before it was signed, so it wasn't yet legal, so now her lawyer is going to take the information to try to change the
parenting plan
to include things such as only one phone call per week on Sunday evenings, that I am barred from having her followed, that I need to reimburse her the $750 that it cost her to file the paperwork, that I can't call the police, etc. I still don't get much information from my lawyer although I keep sending her information and calling. I have tried to get all my ducks in a row and responding to the accusations, but now wait.

I have decided to do Deca/Dbol and Test E Stack that would go something like this.
Deca 200 mg for 3 weeks then 400 for the next 7 weeks END
Dbol for first 4-6 weeks, at 30mg a day END
Test E 500 mg for 10 weeks END
Is this a good cycle. What would PCT look like and also which should I use to combat the gyno and other effects that might come out of this, Nolvadex, Clomid or Masterlone, or all three or whatever.
