Over on Mill Street, a Susanville man turned down an offer to make $95,000 "clear cash" made to him by another man from Mexico City.
The local man said he was conversant in the swindling scheme, which is older than the hills and which in the past cost many worthy but money mad their worldly goods.

Lassen County Planning Commission heard scores of neighbors levy criticism on the proposed Jura River Estates subdivision. Planned access to the development was to run through the Emerson Lake subdivision.
Numerous area residents voiced opposition to the traffic corridor, citing the safety of children, noise, pollution, destruction of the environment and the existing 55 miles-per-hour speed limit through the Emerson Lakes subdivision as significant factors against the access route.

Lassen Community College's cogeneration plant turned out to be one of the biggest white elephants in county history. From October 1994 through May 1995, the Steam Powered Operations Technology Program used garbage for fuel to produce steam, hot water and about 1.5 megawatts of electricity. The cogeneration plant closed and the college and its contractor became embroiled in a $5.4 million lawsuit.

Daily air quality alerts became routine last week as the Storie Fire grew to 32,000 acres and spread into the Lassen National Forest.
However, the U.S. Forest Service reports Aug. 26, that firefighters were beginning to gain around on the huge blaze that broke Aug. 17, in the Feather River Canyon in Plumas County.

During the first of several budget workshops, the City Council saw in black and white that the city has no cash to operate.
Explaining that a positive fund balance is not the same as cash flow, Robert Porfiri, financial director, said he concentrates on cash flow rather than fund balance because that is how bills are paid.
In a PowerPoint presentation, Porfiri told the council and audience members, "Capital improvements have been approved without additional revenue. It will take three to four years for the natural gas plant to be at full capacity and self-sufficient.
"The bond issuance for the natural gas should have had enough money to support natural gas (for three to four years) instead it was all spent on capital improvements."

John Ketelsen, the county administrative officer, said county staff had put many hours into preparing the 2009-2010 budget.
Most of the board's discussion focused on budget cuts affecting the county's Health and Social Services Department. One of the county's largest departments, it is experiencing some of the deepest budgets cuts, especially after California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's recently announced "blue pencil" reductions.
According to a report from Kevin Mannel, deputy county administrative officer for the health and social service department, the most recent round of cuts is a "hard pill to swallow."
Mannel's report to the supervisors included an additional $535,140 in cuts to the budget the department previously submitted to the county.

If you are well-endowed, it can be challenging to find clothes that fit well, feel supported and smooth under your clothes, and confident in undergarments and swimsuits. However, you should embrace your natural curves! Read on for some tips about ways to flatter and support your attributes.
Let's start with the foundation. A bra which fits well is the foundation of any outfit, and can instantly slim your figure. However, did you know that majority of women wear the wrong size? Get a professional bra fitting to make sure you get the right size— it will give you a slimming silhouette in any outfit. Underwire will always provide more support.
Also, try wearing camisoles with a bit of stretch in them over your bra for even more coverage.
Button down shirts are not always the best choice for large busted women since the buttons can tend to open up. Choose V-necks instead.
Choosing Swimsuits For Larger Busts
What to Avoid:
If you have a large bust, you should never buy certain swimsuit styles. If you wear a bra cup of D or above-or sometimes even C-then you should definitely avoid the triangle top bikini top. This is the flimsiest sort of swimsuit top style, and is really only on smaller-busted women since it provides only a small amount of support. Other styles which are not the most flattering choices include high-neck swimsuits without bra tops. These swimsuits simply are not a figure-flattering choice for a large bust. Also, non-supportive strapless swimsuits are not a good choice since they can cause drooping.
Now that we've established what to avoid, let's talk about what styles work best for the large-bust woman so you'll have tips to keep in mind when swimsuit shopping.
Swimsuits with underwire support are obviously a very smart choice. Like your underwire bra, they provide instant lift and support. If you're looking for a bikini and have a large bust, then you're definitely going to want to go with an underwire top. If you're a plus size woman, then you're most likely going to want to stick to underwire one-piece swimsuits, halters and V-neck styles since they will provide slimming touches such as tummy control panels and figure-flattering cuts.
Halter Tops
Halter top swimsuit styles are universally flattering, but especially for large-busted women. Halters tie around the neck to give lift and draw the eye upward. If you are a D cup or above, it's better to go with a halter style with a wider strap as opposed to skinny spaghetti straps, which will not provide much bust support. Now there are even hybrids of underwire and halters which will give you ultimate support.
Since cross-back swimsuit styles provide support from the front and back, they are also a great large-bust swimsuit option. They give you all-over support thus giving you lift.
V-neck style is a very flattering cut for larger busted women. Whether in a sweater, t-shirt, dress or bathing suit, it's a great cut for larger-busted ladies. It's an especially slimming and figure-flattering choice for plus size women-this is because you can feel sexy while still getting all-over coverage.
Hopefully these tips have been useful for you when you go about shopping for swimwear, undergarments and more!

Posted 10:24 PM 5/4/2013 : Teen saves 4-year-old from drowning
TUCSON-A near drowning happened just before 6 o'clock Saturday at an apartment complex pool near Pima and Wilmot.
The boy was found face down floating in the water.
The four-year-old is alive thanks to the quick thinking of a teen training to be an EMT.
"It was in the middle right here," said Robert Valenzuela.
The 19-year-old saw the boy floating face down.
"His head wouldn't come out of the water. That's when I started asking people around if he knew how to swim," said Valenzuela.
And in a matter of seconds, "I just jumped in there and put him over my shoulder and dragged him out to the ladder and took him out of there," he said.
When he was out, Valenzuela noticed his eyes were rolling back and his lips were purple.
Family friend Mariah Tabb said the family had been swimming for three hours before this happened.
"He had his floaties on the whole time while we were swimming. His mom had just told them to go back to the house while we were packing up and I guess he just came back," said Tabb.
Tucson Fire estimates the boy was under water for about a minute.
"Is he going to be okay? And I ask them all these questions and I get even more scared," said nine-year-old Brandi Haines who saw the near drowning.
The boy was unresponsive.
"So I started like pressing on the little boy's chest and that's when he started crying, and then I was like okay he might be okay," said Tabb.
Nine-year-old Haines said this experience has taught her a valuable lesson.
"We were jumping in with no floaties and afterward, I think 'oh my goodness, what if I were to drown when I was jumping in,'" said Haines.
Valenzuela said this experience has made him realize he wants to pursue a fire fighter career.
As for the boy, his condition did improve over time.
He's expected to be okay.

A terrible mistake
Shelved by: crazmo7 on 2012-02-14
23 Comments:
Technically they were just washed
Wait - we give you BJs but you can't use the same towel on your face?
Hey, putting balls in, near, or around your mouth is gay. Even through second-hand contact. Unless it's right after getting a bj and your girl wants a kiss...ONLY EXCEPTION
People come to this website to see funny pictures not to hear your stereotypical and rude comments.
Whoops, looks like I offended someone...I'm sorry. What was it that offended you, if you don't mind me asking?
Well then how did it offend you? I'm sorry for saying that something that is performed by mainly male homosexuals and females is gay.
Nvm I don't have time for stereotypical douches.
No time? Then what are you doing on lolbrary? Writing reports on what images the public thinks is funny and turning them into your boss? And I'm not being stereotypical by saying that a man performing fellatio is gay, since it is a task reserved mainly for the homosexuals and women. (I am aware, though, that not ALL gay men and (unfortunately) not all women give head)
Though i do admit I can be a bit of a douche. It makes life interesting and leads to stimulating arguments (almost like this one, but you haven't really said anything worthwhile)
Well damn, not my past arguments are irrelevant. Nevermind then!!!
I award you all the internets for that comment, also your my temporary favorite person on this site, a high honor.
what crap is this? go back to church to unfail, dont go over start...
stfu and don't be an ass. This is an old conversation.
so jacking off is gay because it is technically a guy doing it?
When this happens... I resort to the other side of the towel
dick and balls are always clean after shower...doesn't matter...just skin.
i fail to see the problem. besides, there's plenty of towel to go around. just find another corner.
I use the side with the label for my balls and the other for my face.

I hadn't seen Bronze Star Hero for about a week since he'd been traveling. He came for Thanksgiving yesterday and I was surprisingly really happy to see him. The last few days he's backed off on the incessant calling and showering me with verbal affirmation, I assume it's because of my tentativeness to reciprocate. Whether he's doing it intentionally, or because he's now playing games with my ass, is to be determined. However, I will openly admit, it's working. Now that he's not up my ass, I'm actually longing to see him. He met my entire extended family, and I couldn't have been any happier with how easily he seemed to slide in to my life.
I broached the incessant asking me to spend the night talk with him, and I think it went pretty well. I explained that because I was so attracted to him, and actually WANT to be with him, sleeping in the same bed is too tempting and just asking trouble. He seemed to understand. He told me that even if I did stay over, that he would NEVER attempt to have sex with me, and I believe him. It's just everything else aside from intercourse that's my concern. I reiterated that fact that how he keeps asking makes me feel pressured, and he agreed to stop. Generally when I talk to him about something that bothers me, he does what it takes to ease my concerns. So I hope this little concern is behind us. Time will tell!
Oh yea…I may have awkwardly told him I'd be his girlfriend in a weird way in front of my aunt and brother's girlfriend. So I guess it's official.

Myanmar's Young Artists and Activists
In the country formerly known as Burma, these free thinkers are a force in the struggle for democracy
- By Joshua Hammer
- Photographs by Adam Dean
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2011, Subscribe
Editor's Note, April 3, 2012:
The election of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi—the face of her nation's pro-democracy movement—to Parliament opens a dramatic new chapter in Burma's journey from oppressive military rule. Her supporters, from young artists seeking freedom of expression, to a generation of activists long committed to the struggle against the ruling generals—believe that a sea change is overtaking their society. We wrote about her supporters in March 2011.
The New Zero Gallery and Art Studio looks out over a scruffy street of coconut palms, noodle stalls and cybercafés in Yangon (Rangoon), the capital of Myanmar, the Southeast Asian country formerly known as Burma. The two-story space is filled with easels, dripping brushes and half-finished canvases covered with swirls of paint. A framed photograph of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was released from seven years of house arrest this past November, provides the only hint of the gallery's political sympathies.
An assistant with spiky, dyed orange hair leads me upstairs to a loft space, where half a dozen young men and women are smoking and drinking coffee. They tell me they're planning an "underground" performance for the coming week. Yangon's tiny avant-garde community has been putting on secret exhibitions in spaces hidden throughout this decrepit city—in violation of the censorship laws that require every piece of art to be vetted for subversive content by a panel of "experts."
"We have to be extremely cautious," says Zoncy, a diminutive 24-year-old woman who paints at the studio. "We are always aware of the danger of spies."
Because their work is not considered overtly political, Zoncy and a few other New Zero artists have been allowed to travel abroad. In the past two years, she has visited Thailand, Japan and Indonesia on artistic fellowships—and come away with an exhilarating sense of freedom that has permeated her art. On a computer, she shows me videos she made for a recent government-sanctioned exhibition. One shows a young boy playing cymbals on a sidewalk beside a plastic doll's decapitated head. "One censor said [the head] might be seen as symbolizing Aung San Suu Kyi and demanded that I blot out the image of the head," Zoncy said. (She decided to withdraw the video.) Another video consists of a montage of dogs, cats, gerbils and other animals pacing around in cages. The symbolism is hard to miss. "They did not allow this to be presented at all," she says.
The founder and director of the New Zero Gallery is a ponytailed man named Ay Ko, who is dressed on this day in jeans, sandals and a University of California football T-shirt. Ay Ko, 47, spent four years in a Myanmar prison following a student uprising in August 1988. After he was released, he turned to making political art—challenging the regime in subtle ways, communicating his defiance to a small group of like-minded artists, students and political progressives. "We are always walking on a tightrope here," he told me in painstaking English. "The government is looking at us all the time. We [celebrate] the open mind, we organize the young generation, and they don't like it." Many of Ay Ko's friends and colleagues, as well as two siblings, have left Myanmar. "I don't want to live in an abroad country," he says. "My history is here."
Myanmar's history has been turbulent and bloody. This tropical nation, a former British colony, has long worn two faces. Tourists encounter a land of lush jungles, golden pagodas and monasteries where nearly every Burmese is obliged to spend part of one year in serene contemplation. At the same time, the nation is one of the world's most repressive and isolated states; since a military coup in 1962, it has been ruled by a cabal of generals who have ruthlessly stamped out dissent. Government troops, according to witnesses, shot and killed thousands of students and other protesters during the 1988 rebellion; since then, the generals have intermittently shuttered universities, imprisoned thousands of people because of their political beliefs and activity, and imposed some of the harshest censorship laws in the world.

The real interesting subject is the broad spectrum of art in the country this is not mentioned in the articles and posts because this article is about Yangon, but Yangon is secondary in terms of art. The place where the "art music plays" is Mandalay and environs, more here: http://www.allmyanmar.com/myanmarmore/myanmar-art.htm

The young people you talk about are mostly middle class junta brats who come from military elite families and have little to fear from the authorities. They avoid politics not out of fear but because they are privileged and are not interested in political freedom. They can afford to travel to Thailand, China, and Singapore to buy clothes, gadgets and magazines and as military brats they have no problem getting passports and bribing the right people.
Your article is very naive. These people are the next generation junta. You are equating hip-hop and graffiti art with political liberalism when they are mainstream fashion trends adopted by a young elite. This isn't even a start.

As a Burmese-born artist and activist based in the USA, I found this very enlightening and, of course, sad.
I have been trying to get in touch again with Thar Soe - on a visit to the National Gallery of Art in 2009, he sat in front of a Jackson Pollock painting and meditated for a long time.
I would love to see more of Ma Ei's art and hope she can travel or live abroad.
It does not seem to me worth it to waste their youth and talent in such a thankless place. There is moreover the constant risk of arrest and death, not to mention physical and mental harm.

Even with the mistakes, I saw this article very enlightening. Beautiful clothing, dyes and colors are part of places like ancient Tibet. And when I think of artists not having free reign, it is very unsettling. Come on world we can do better than this!

Yangon is not the capital of Burma (1st paragraph of the article). Naypyidaw has been for the past five years.

I also welcome this look at artists working under censorship, but I am disappointed at the dismissive tone you take with the private media here. The hundreds, maybe thousands of young journalists working in the media industry do essentially the same thing as your painters and wrappers: try to slip subversive material past the censors. However, they do it day in, day out, earn significantly less - maybe $100 or $150 a month - than the people you interview and are far more likely to wind up in trouble with the authorities.
I think it's also worth pointing out this is an essentially urban, middle class movement in a country where two-thirds of people live in rural areas. Nevertheless, it's a worthy topic for discussion and this is a well-written article.

I appreciate this rare and encouraging look at individual Burmese artists living and working under the conditions imposed by the regime. Your readers might be interested in visiting www.MyanmarHumanRights.org, which encourages potential travelers to become better informed about conditions in Burma, presents both sides of the pro- and anti-tourism debate, and invites people to decide for themselves whether tourism is beneficial or detrimental to the people of Burma. The site also provides opportunities to write letters asking for the release of some of the (estimated) more than two thousand political prisoners.

Canvassing Dupont Circle Soccer and Pride Events
June 16th, 2010
Last Saturday, Defeat Poverty DC volunteers canvassed Dupont Circle between the USA/England Soccer Broadcast and the Capital Pride Parade. Most of the soccer enthusiasts and Pride supporters we spoke with acknowledged the District's poverty problem and were enthusiastic that a nonpartisan campaign was looking to make it a major election issue. Volunteers collected many names for our email list.
The common themes found among people were:
(1) People care about poverty;
(2) People are skeptical about local politicians' competence to get things done, and;
(3) People want to see specific plans from candidates.
Volunteer Julia Nagle stated the following: "The D.C. residents that I spoke with were open and receptive to hearing more about the campaign. Both young and old, as well as black, white and Hispanic residents were eager to sign my petition. Hopefully we can collectively urge the candidates to address poverty during this electoral season."
Defeat Poverty DC volunteers will be at many more social events and candidate forums in the future. We are always looking for more help. Sign up today to receive campaign updates about how you can further accountability and responsibility among our elected officials.

Simponi Injection
- Patient Information:
Details with Side Effects
SIMPONI (golimumab) is a human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) that exhibits multiple glycoforms with molecular masses of approximately 150 to 151 kilodaltons. SIMPONI was created using genetically engineered mice immunized with human TNF, resulting in an antibody with human-derived antibody variable and constant regions. SIMPONI is produced by a recombinant cell line cultured by continuous perfusion and is purified by a series of steps that includes measures to inactivate and remove viruses.
The SIMPONI drug product is a sterile solution of the golimumab antibody supplied as either a single dose prefilled syringe (with a passive needle safety guard) or a single dose prefilled autoinjector. The Type 1 glass syringe has a coated stopper. The fixed stainless steel needle (5 bevel, 27G, half-inch) is covered with a needle shield to prevent leakage of the solution through the needle and to protect the needle during handling prior to administration. The needle shield is made of a dry natural rubber containing latex.
SIMPONI does not contain preservatives. The solution is clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to light yellow with a pH of approximately 5.5. SIMPONI is provided in one strength: 50 mg of the golimumab antibody in 0.5 mL of solution. Each 0.5 mL of SIMPONI contains 50 mg of the golimumab antibody, 0.44 mg of L-histidine and L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate, 20.5 mg of sorbitol, 0.08 mg of polysorbate 80, and Water for Injection.

MANITOU SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) -- Starting Monday, May 13 in Manitou Springs, visitors will be required to pay for parking within the downtown business district and in the areas of Ruxton Avenue. Parking will be charged by the hour at payment kiosks. The new system will require parkers to use their license plate number along with coins or credit cards for payment. For some off-street lots, parking kiosks will also accept bills for payment. New parking rates are $1 an hour for the first 3 hours, the next 2 hours are $2 per hour, after 5 hours the rate is $3 per hour, with a daily maximum of $28. "I have seen locals, and I'm a local as well, and I see parking abused and I do think this is something that will help us all," said Manitou Outpost manager Sharon Haas. "I like the idea of 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hours. I feel that it will free up parking for us. It's gonna make it better for us." And say you lose track of time either shopping or dining. Well don't worry because you can actually buy more minutes for your parking space by using your smart phone. Manitou residents will be eligible for stickers/permits for their parking needs.

This hotel is quite decent but as some other reviews say the fittings are not the newest - there was a good separate shower, but a small "sit up and... beg" bath and the plug leaked badly [I had them replace it]. If you are not a Priority Club member they charge for WiFi. They also charge for the gym - both of which I consider a bit much considering the rooms are not cheap & most places don't charge on top. The breakfast was fine, but I actually preferred the breakfast in the Marriott down the road which I stayed in twice before. Here the tea water was too cold for example, with no milk jugs so I had to use the cereal milk in a large glass & there was more cold things and a less pleasing selection of fruit. על-ידי Rob מLondon, UK ב- 06/05/2013

Key concepts
From National Science Education Standards: Populations and ecosystems
Have you ever thought about the differences between a hummingbird and a hawk? They are both birds and yet they look nothing alike! Why do you think they look so different?
Aside from hawks being very big and hummingbirds being very small, these two birds exhibit other differences. Take their beaks, for example. A hawk's beak is razor sharp and can tear the flesh off the small animals it eats. A hummingbird's beak is long and thin, which helps it dip into the flowers to sip nectar (a sugary fluid the hummingbird uses for food). How can two species of bird have beaks that are so different?
Today we will explore how, in different environments with different food types, specific adaptations, or changes in physical features, are more beneficial than others. You will use common household items and seeds, grains and nuts to mimic how birds might use their beaks to pick up food.
When you look at different bird beaks, you're seeing a great example of something called adaptation. Adaptations are traits that developed to perform a certain function and allow organisms to thrive in their environment. Although one adaptation might be very useful for a certain species in a specific environment, that same trait might not be useful for another species in a different environment.
To understand how adaptations arise, it helps to understand the process of evolution. Populations of plants, animals and other living organisms change over many, many generations. Scientists call this process natural selection. Natural selection happens in a species when individuals that have traits better adapted for their environment survive longer and have more babies. They pass on the beneficial adaptations to their offspring. So, over the generations these adaptive traits become more common in the population until nearly all individuals in a species have the adaptation.
• Tweezers
• Cotton swab
• Binder clip
• Several different kinds of seeds, grains or nuts that differ in size and shape. It is best if you have a wide range: some that are tiny (for instance, grass seeds or couscous), some that are medium-sized (black-eyed peas or lentils), and some that are larger (almonds, cashews, walnuts or hazelnuts).
• Timer with a second hand or clock
• Dish
• Paper
• Pen or pencil
• Dampen the cotton swab slightly with water.
• Set out the three types of "beaks" (tweezers, binder clip and dampened cotton swab).
• Place the three different sizes of "food" (small, medium and large seeds, nuts, etc.) in three separate piles (separated by size) on a surface. These three piles will represent different food types; for example, a hazelnut would be a mouse that a hawk might snatch and a grass seed would be a small drop of nectar a hummingbird might eat.
• Place the empty dish within arm's reach.
• Have someone ready to time the activity using the timer.
• Pick up the dampened cotton swab.
• Start the timer for 10 seconds. With the "beak," collect as many pieces of the biggest "food" as you can and place the pieces in the empty dish.
• How many were you able to collect? (Note this on the paper.)
• Return any pieces of the big food from the dish to their pile.
• Keeping the cotton swab damp, repeat the 10-second "feeding" with the medium-sized food type.
• How many pieces of food could you collect in the dish? Note this on the paper and return the pieces to their pile.
• Now try the damp cotton swab on the smallest type of food for 10 seconds.
• How many pieces were you able to get into the dish? Record this number and carefully place the food back into its pile.
• Repeat these steps with the other two types of beaks—the binder clip and the tweezers—recording the results as you go.
• Which beak did the best at feeding on which foods?
• If only the smallest food were available, which birds in the environment would likely have the most success surviving and reproducing? Would it be the birds with the tweezer "beaks," the cotton swab "beaks," or the birds with the binder-clip "beaks"? What if only the biggest food type were available? How would the tweezer "beak" do if the bird were eating nectar instead of seeds?
• What might happen to the different types of food if one type of bird were to become more common?
Read on for observations, results and more resources.

Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Next Destinies
Pokémon TCG: Black & White—Next Destinies
Featured Cards
Whether you're looking for early support for your Grass deck or a late boost against a tough opponent, Shaymin-EX (5/99) is the perfect choice. Shaymin-EX's Synthesis attack lattack lets you search your deck for a Grass Energy card and attach it directly to one of your Pokémon, accelerating your set-up time considerably. Plus, with a Retreat Cost of only 1, it can get out of the way quickly once you've prepped another attacker. Then, if your opponent starts to pull ahead later in the match, bring Shaymin-EX back up to hit with Revenge Blast, an attack that does 30 damage plus 30 more for each Prize card your opponent has taken. This is potentially quite helpful if you're playing with other Pokémon-EX cards in your deck, since when they get Knocked Out your opponent draws 2 Prize cards. Shaymin-EX can help you turn the tables on your opponent's good fortune and put you in the lead for good!
Reshiram is already a superstar in the Pokémon TCG. Now its Pokémon-EX counterpart looks to heat up the action even more. Reshiram-EX (22/99) has 180 HP, as well as two scorching attacks. Glinting Claw does 50 damage plus 30 more based on a coin flip. Then the Brave Fire attack does an amazing 150 damage with a coin flip determining if Reshiram-EX takes 50 damage itself. With both attacks, your chances of victory are sure to heat up!
Looking for a Basic Pokémon with 180 HP and two amazingly powerful attacks? Of course you are! Fortunately, Kyurem-EX (38/99) is exactly what you need.First, freeze your opponent's progress with Kyurem-EX's Frozen Wings attack, a 60-damage assault that also forces your opponent to discard a Special Energy attached to the Defending Pokémon. Then, if you find yourself up against a powerhouse Pokémon with a lot of HP, come on strong with Hail Blizzard, a 120-damage attack that you can't use on the following turn. Kyurem-EX is a juggernaut with serious damage potential, ready to send a chill through your opponent's deck!
Zekrom-EX (51/99) rivals the already popular version from the Black & White expansion in might and potential. It shares the Glinting Claw attack with Reshiram-EX, which does either 50 or 80 damage depending on a coin flip. Zekrom-EX also has a 150-damage attack in Strong Volt. When you use the attack, you must discard two Energy attached to Zekrom-EX. With either attack, you're bound to give your opponent quite the shock!
Get into the head of your opponent with the mighty Mewtwo-EX (54/99). This Basic Pokémon has a staggering 170 HP, making it extraordinarily tough in battle. Harness the Defending Pokémon's Energy with Mewtwo-EX's X Ball attack, which does 20 damage times the number of Energy attached to both Mewtwo-EX and the Defending Pokémon. Then deliver the knockout blow with Psydrive, a 120-damage attack!
Double down on your next deck with the help of Gardevoir (57/99)! This Stage 2 Pokémon provides plenty of support to your Psychic-type Pokémon with its Psychic Mirage Ability, which provides 2 Psychic Energy for every 1 Basic Psychic Energy attached to the Pokémon. But it works only with Psychic-type Pokémon—Gothitelle (Black & White—Emerging Powers, 47/98) and Mewtwo-EX (54/99) will go crazy with that kind of support.
Gardevoir isn't just there to help its teammates; this Pokémon has some offensive skills of its own, too. Gardevoir's Mind Shock attack does 60 damage, and it ignores the Defending Pokémon's Weakness and Resistance. The cost of the attack (2 Psychic and 2 Colorless Energy) might ordinarily be considered too steep, but Psychic Mirage makes it a reasonable—and potent—attack.
Pokémon EX aren't the only powerful Pokémon in the Black & White—Next Destinies expansion. Check out Lucario (64/99), a Stage 1 Fighting-type Pokémon that's ready to leap into battle. When Lucario is your Active Pokémon and takes damage from an attack, it's your opponent who will feel the pain—Lucario's Reflexive Retaliation Ability puts 2 damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon. Lucario can also strike hard, and for little Energy, with its Aura Sphere attack. For 2 Fighting Energy, Aura Sphere does 50 damage to the Defending Pokémon plus 20 more to one of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. Whether on offense and defense, Lucario is ready to have a major impact on your next Pokémon TCG battle!
The Darkness-type Pokémon Shiftry (72/99) can make a huge impact as soon as it takes the field, and continues to be a disruptive force for as long as it stays in battle. When play Shiftry to evolve another Pokémon, you get to flip a coin. If it comes up heads, you get to choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon and send it back into his or her deck, along with all the cards attached to the Pokémon. And yes—if you force your opponent to pick up his or her last Pokémon in play, you'll win automatically!
Shiftry's sneaky ways continue with its Whirlwind attack, a 60-damage blast that additionally forces your opponent to switch the Defending Pokémon out for one of his or her Benched Pokémon. Fire away turn after turn to keep your opponent off balance, while delivering tons of damage each turn!
Skyarrow Bridge
There are a lot of big, powerful Pokémon in the Black & White series, and along with them comes soaring Retreat Costs. Manage those Retreat Costs with Skyarrow Bridge (91/99), a handy Trainer-Stadium card which lowers the Retreat Cost of all Pokémon in play by 1 Energy. With Skyarrow Bridge, it's much easier for you to move your burly Pokémon around to create the best match-up against the Defending Pokémon.
Skyarrow Bridge is also useful for pre-evolved Pokémon that are susceptible to Pokémon Catcher. For example, you may have a Litwick on your Bench that you're trying to Evolve into Chandelure; if it gets called into action by Pokémon Catcher and hit for 40 damage, you could be in quite a jam the next turn. With Skyarrow Bridge in play, Litwick would have a 0 Retreat Cost, letting you get the Pokémon out of harm's way without costing an Energy (that you might not even have)!

After the recession brought on a host of lawsuits by employees who felt their employer didn't do enough to educate them on the fees and costs associated with their retirement plans, we can all probably agree the new fee disclosure legislation provides some added security for plan sponsors.
On the other hand, there are some challenges. It will require work from plan sponsors as they will be responsible for rolling out the information in any plan communication to employees by Aug. 30, and calling awareness to the fees being charged to employees in the plan might not make for better employee morale.
Still, HR and benefits managers can use the fee disclosers as an opportunity to educate their employees about the importance of their decisions regarding retirement, rather than simply informing them about what they're paying in their plan.
Here are three ways HR managers can use the disclosures to educate employees about their retirement benefits and improve their ability to make the best financial decisions associated with them to reach their retirement goals.
1) Educate employees about the fees they have control over.
A recent AARP study found that 71 percent of employees reported they did not pay fees in their 401(k) plan, but they actually did. Because the majority of employees are not aware of the fees they're currently paying in their plans, many employers are expecting a backlash as they begin to call attention to them.
To mitigate this, it's necessary to educate employees on the fees they can control—in funds they choose—rather than simply disclose the fees within the plan. Educate them on what to look for when choosing funds to determine and compare costs. Provide things they should consider to choose the best funds for their financial plan and lifestyle. By helping employees see that they actually have more control than they think in the fees they pay, they will be less likely to resent the company's decisions with the plan and be more likely to make positive changes to their retirement plan that will benefit their own situations.
2) Educate employees on the differences between managed accounts and index funds.
Investment fees account for the largest amount of money employees spend within their 401(k) plans, yet since they're deducted directly from investment returns, employees often miss that they're paying them altogether. Provide education for employees around the differences between managed accounts, which typically come with hefty fees, and index funds, where fees are often significantly lower. Use examples to tangibly show employees how much money they could be saving toward retirement if they made some small adjustments to their 401(k) plan, getting them to consider whether their decisions make the most sense for their circumstances. Employees often choose managed accounts without even realizing they are paying higher fees for it.
3) Show employees a comparison of the fees in your plan to the industry average.
Employees don't see the work their employer puts into researching and negotiating with plan providers to bring them a reasonable 401(k) plan that fits their needs as best possible. Because they don't see this, they might be missing the fact that their fees are much lower than those they'd receive if they sought a retirement account outside of their employer. In this sense, they are getting a significantly better deal by investing their assets with their employer. You can highlight your due diligence in choosing a reasonable plan by showing employees how your company's 401(k) fees compare to those in the industry.
Though many managers are stressed simply thinking about adding the new disclosures to their communications by the end of August, they can benefit much more from taking their communication a step further and educating employees about how to secure their retirement in the process.

Blog of Dana's Eye Photography
In 2004, on my way to Nepal, I laid my hands on a digital camera for the first time and discovered a pastime that quickly became a passion. Since then, I have been constantly searching for opportunities to combine photography with every element of my life...including travel, friendships, work, and family.
As a former engineer, I've always enjoyed my creativity with a bit of structure. Photography allows me to indulge my appetite for technical gadgetry while *trying* to produce something that I (and hopefully some others) love to look at. To me, a perfect image is as interesting on the thousandth view as it was on the first. Early on, I found inspiration in any image that sparked the question: "How'd they do that?!" More recently (and much more personally), I committed to taking my photography beyond technique in daily exploration of images as an emotionally sustaining force. And I enthusiastically vouch for the power of making consistent shooting a lifestyle choice.
I am a native of Baltimore, MD, now residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. I spend my days in the marketing department of a biotech startup and devote practically all other time to photography (and packing for flights).
I thank you so much for taking your time to browse some of what I have to share, and I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Psychologists have long known that every person has two great longings and inward needs. The first is to be loved and the second is to love. But when pressures and heartaches come into our lives, many give up any hope of ever finding love. The tragedy is that we often look in the wrong places to fill this deep, deep need and longing. Some substitue lust for love. Other pursue material things or superficial relationships-all in the futile attempt to fill a God-shaped vacuum in the human heart. Sadly, it's our sinful natures that separate us from God and from fulfilling our deepest needs and longings. But there is good news! There is a love worth finding and a love worth sharing. The Bible says that "God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). Here on the cross of Christ, God's mighty love was revealed and offered unconditionally to all who would be saved. Do you long to know this mighty love? Then I need to ask you the most important question you'll ever be asked: Do you know beyond a shadow of doubt that God loves you, that your sins are forgiven, and that you are saved and on your way to heaven? The great news is, you can know!
Admit your sin- First, you must admit that you are a sinner. The Bible says, "There is none righteous,no, not one." Romans 3:10 "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 Sin is the offense against God that carries a serious penalty. According to Romans 6:23, "The wages of sin is death (eternal separation from the love and mercy of God.)"
Abandon Your Efforts-Second, you must abandon any efforts to save yourself. Even "getting religion" cannot get you to heaven. If we could save ourselves, Jesus' death would have been unnecessary! Even worse, it would be useless. But the Bible says it is "not by works of rightousness which we have done, but according to His (God's) mercy He saved us." Titus 3:5 Salvation is "not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:9
Ackcowledge Christ's Payment-But what you cannot do for yourself, Jesus Christ has done for you! "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 He died on the cross for you, and He rose from the dead to prove that His payment was acceptable to God. All you have to do is acknowledge and believe. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31
Accept Christ as Your Savior-Salvation is God's gift to you. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 When someone offers you a priceless gift, the wisest thing you can do is accept it! This very moment, you can receive Christ's gift of salvation by sincerely praying to God from your heart and asking Him for forgiveness of your sins and eternal life. You'll be eternally glad to know the love worth finding!
