Membership FAQ
How do I sign up or renew my membership?
You can sign up or renew online, at the Visitor Services desk or membership kiosk at Chabot, or by calling (510) 336-7392.
I'm a teacher, student, or senior. Do you offer any membership discounts?
Yes, however at this time these discounts are only available on memberships purchased at the front desk of the Center. A valid teacher ID is required at the time of purchase for our Educator Circle membership. For students, valid student ID is required to get $5 off memberships, and the same discount is available to seniors over 65 with ID.
Do you offer memberships that include grandparents?
Grandparents may purchase an Earth Family membership to use for themselves and up to 5 grandchildren (parents not included).
Upper Level memberships include two guests and may be used to bring grandparents.
My Earth Family Plus membership includes a caregiver. Why do I only have two cards?
Earth Family Plus memberships will have two adults named on the cards, and only two cards. Your caregiver is still included. You can either bring that third adult with you, or give him/her one of your cards so that he/she can bring your children. Cards are not valid for the caregiver's children, and the caregiver cannot bring guests. If more than one adult is present, ID must be shown to match the name on the card.
Do I get to see shows for free?
Yes! As a member, you receive unlimited free Planetarium shows.
Can I give a membership as a gift?
Yes. This can be done at Visitor Services or online. For online gift memberships, click on the level you would like to give, and enter your own information on the first page. Gift recipient information is entered on the second page.
Are there special member lines?
At the front desk, due to spacing constraints, there is no specified member line. During times of increased traffic, the Visitor Services team will call forward the next member in line so that members can skip the wait.
In our Planetarium there are 'members only' lines which will give you priority seating. If you are unsure of which is the member line, check at the front of the line for the member sign or ask the usher.
Do I get to bring friends in for free or discounted admission?
No, at this time your membership does not allow you to bring friends or relatives in for free or discounted admission. The exception to this would be our "guest" memberships, Earth Active (1 adult + guest), Earth Family Plus (2 adult + guest + children in household), and Earth Orbiter, which all allow one free person outside of the person named on the card.
Will I receive notices of upcoming classes, activities, and special member events?
We regularly send out news of what is going on at Chabot in our Member Insight, which is emailed to you. We also send out notices of special member events through email. If you do not receive these newsletters, please email your full name and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com to be added to the mailing list.
In an effort to stay green, we do not send out paper newsletters in the mail. This also defrays the costs of printing and postage, so that more of your membership goes toward community and education programs.
How long does it take to receive my permanent membership cards? What should I do if I don't receive them?
Permanent membership cards should reach you within 2 - 4 weeks after you sign up. If it is beyond 4 weeks and you have not received your cards, please call (510) 336-7392 or let Visitor Services know when you come to the Center. We'll have you fill out your name and address again so that we can check our records for accuracy and then resend your cards to you.
How do I replace a lost or stolen membership card?
Lost or stolen cards can be replaced for a $5.00 fee. This can be done onsite at Visitor Services, or over the phone by calling (510) 336-7392.
How does the ASTC program work?
ASTC stands for Association of Science and Technology Centers. Your membership to Chabot will get you discounted admission at other ASTC centers within 90 miles, and free admission outside of that area. Please note, however, that the number of people who receive the discount may vary by museum, regardless of what level your Chabot membership is; it is a good idea to call the museum you intend to visit beforehand. You will need your Chabot membership card and photo ID to receive your discount. Please visit astc.org for the current list of participating institutions and more details.
I'm a member and my child is coming to Chabot on a field trip. Do we have to pay?
Yes. School field trips include classes not part of membership, and are already offered at such a discounted rate that we are unable to provide free admission for member children coming with their school. School education is an extremely important aspect of Chabot's mission and has always been part of our history, and in order to keep the program going a fee is required.
If you are a member parent of a child and would like to come as a chaperon, you may use your membership to get yourself in for free. Simply visit the front desk when you arrive and show your membership card. Please note however that since school trip numbers are booked independently, there may not be enough room in the planetarium to accommodate you, and that there is no admittance to any 10am show for a member parent who has not booked with the school.
Other questions?
Email firstname.lastname@example.com with any further questions.

Hallo Everyone,
i wrote a small application for the msp430f5438A using the rtos (freertos). the application is designed to receive bytes through the an interrupt.
but i have the following problem:
after receiving two or three bytes, i got this error:
MSP430: Trouble Reading Memory Block at 0xca5a4 on Page 0 of Length 0x61: Invalid parameter(s).
what could be the reason? did anybody have an idea?
did anyone have an idea about this topic?
Mohammad NasserTrouble Reading Memory Block at 0xca5a4 on Page 0 of Length 0x61: Invalid parameter(s).
Trying to access an address where there is nothing, surely creates an error.
So the question is: why is this address ever accessed?
Possible reasons: stack overflow. Your stack (where the return addresses for funciton calls, but also local variables are stored) expands into an area where there is data,. This can easily happen for managed threads in a multitasking OS, since the OS allocates a certain amount of ram in the middle of free ram for each task.If this area is used up, the stack expands into the memory below where there is data, or an other threads stack. And is corrupted when someone else writes to these areas.As a result, a function will not return to where it was called from, but to whereever the clobbered stack content points to.
Since each thread has its own stack, managed by the RTOS, the debugger is unable to detect a stack overflow and warn you.
_____________________________________Before posting bug reports or ask for help, do at least quick scan over this article. It applies to any kind of problem reporting. On any forum. And/or look here.If you cannot discuss your problem in the public, feel free to start a private conversation: click on my name and then 'start conversation'. But please do so only if you really cannot do it in a public thread, as I usually read all threads. And I prefer to answer where others can profit from it (or contribute to it) too.
Hallo Jens,
thanks a lot for your answer. i am now trying to check it out, to know if this is the real reason.
but i think too, that it is true. becaus iam using rtos, and when i debugg the application and this error happend, some times the rtos detect the stackoverflow while another times this wraning (Trouble Reading Memory Block ) arise.
i am now trying to find a solution for this stackoverflow. and when i find it, i will post here. if you have some tips. it will be nice too :)
thanks again a lot.
I know of no MSP430 that sends out error messages. It must be something or someone else that talks to you.
i dont understand, what do you really mean.
the problem did actually occur, as i wrote.
Mohammad Nasseri dont understand, what do you really mean.
I was only half joking.You saw that error message on the screen of a PC. And that PC was running some sort of "Tool". Correct?The "something" I spoke about was the PC running that "Tool". The "someone" I joked about was the supplier of that "Tool".
The other half of the joke is that "Tool".

Everyone is talking about the NEW HOT MOVIE Couples Retreat featuring Vince Vaughn! The movie also starred one of my favorite actresses Tasha Smith! I was so excited when it was reported that she wore my nail polish line, Superstar Nail Lacquer to the premiere of Couples Retreat in LA on October 5, 2009! The polish that she wore is called Fully Booked Fuchsia! It complimented her amazing outfit so well! She could not have picked a better color, or BRAND!
Make sure you go support Tasha Smith by going to see Couples Retreat this weekend! The movie will have you laughing from beginning to end! I give it 2 thumbs up!

She stared at the television, not happy with the results of another homicide within her own town. She shut the television off with the click of a remote control then got up and walked to the kitchen, pouring her another cup of coffee. She took a small sip then frowned as she wondered why there was no one out there trying to stop the madness. She know that the government shut down and everything but the force they worked for was very much needed. 'Them bastards.' She thought to herself while shaking her head then thinking about her last assignment, which she remembers as if it was yesterday.
It started off with her coming to work and not even being there for at least five seconds before she is shipped outside the door and sent to the back, where a robbery was taking place. She wore a nice black leather, skin tight uniform. Once she arrived at the bank, she immediately rushed in and stood beside her partner, a male nonetheless. "Alright, I'll give you guys til the count of 3 to stop what you are doing or suffer." She spoke harshly towards them then continued speaking. "And I am already at 2." The robbers laughed and pointed their guns at them then fired. She laughed while holding up her hands and the bullets stopped in midair then burst right there before their eyes. They gasped and lowered their weapons while staring at her with amazement. "Now, I tried being nice but looks like I am going to get ugly." When she said that, she thrusted her hands forward and sent the robbers back. "You take two and I'll take two." She spoke to her partner while walking towards the two she had already pointed out. It didn't take her long before they were knocked out on the floor, her heel standing on one of their backs. She clapped her hands together then folded her arms. "I think we are done here." She spoke while looking to her partner. The police charged in and took things off their hands.
She smiled while staring out of the window, snapping out of her day dream and coming back to reality. She heard footsteps in her house then went on alert but saw that it was her brother. "Hey there." He spoke towards her as she offered a small nod towards him. "How are things with you?" She asked while leaning on the counter. "I can't complain really." He responded as she shrugged her shoulders then watched as he turned on the television again. "In other news, there has been a vicious threat against one of the regional airport." She sneered while slamming her coffee cup down on the counter. "That's it." She spoke while walking towards the phone, picking it up and dialing her old partner. Luckily she still remember his number. "Hello, yeah, meet me at the usual hangout. Pronto." She hung the phone up then looked towards her brother. "The team getting back together?" He asked her as she stopped walking then started to answer. "I sure in hell hope so." She continued walking upstairs, where she showered and changed into a fresh pair of clothing. She grabbed her clutch purse, keys and cell phone then kissed her brother bye and told him that she'll see him later.
She drove to the usual hangout spot for her and her partner, which was the local cafe. She walked in and ordered herself a Mocha Frappe with extra whipped cream. She paid for her ticket then went and took a seat, waiting for her partner to come and sit with her. Samantha couldn't take the violence anymore, something had to be done.

Thinking about creating a collection of fairy tales that feature POC/LGBTQ* people and don't paint women as weak/useless (a la sleeping beauty).
I got the idea when talking to a friend who was at a loss of stories to tell younger siblings/kids they babysit that aren't super problematic.
I'll do what I can to post some of my own stuff (be warned, my prose kinda sucks :-P) but submissions would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, I need some help with my squat form, can you take a look and give em advice? Thanks in advance
You're incredibly close to parallel, but just short of it. It looks like your back really starts to lose tightness in those last 2 or 3 reps, and you definitely begin to round your lower back a little. I can't see what you're doing with your head/neck, but be sure and keep it a neutral position relative to rest of your spine.
Here are a few cues that really help me maintain proper form above the hips during the movement:
- neck neutral
- shoulder blades pulled back and tight
- elbows pulled back and in
- low back arched and tight
work that upper back. do lots and lots of facepulls 2-3 times a week.
you can also try some goodmornings and front squats.
those should help prevent you from leaning too far forward.
you can call me "ozzie" for short.
In my opinion... and please view these as 100% positive.
- Less thinking about it. It took you 30 seconds to get set-up. The bar isn't moving. Get under there, walk out, squat. boom!
- Sit back a tad more, drive off your heels and drive toward the outside of your foot. On a rep or two you can see your heels come up. No good.
- More glute work. Do you do glute bridges? Have access to kettlebells? You need to get your posterior chain firing and line, and you'll be set.
Good work bro...
Do you ever do any box squats? That might help you sitting back and gettin used to pushing up through your heels. I agree with borobulker in that one of the first things I noticed was the heels. Sit back, sit deep, and trust your glutes.
I think your close to parallel also. You just need to push yourself to really go that extra degree. That's where the winners are made
Thanks for the advice guys, taking i took it all into consideration, heres what i came up with

The LM6000 provides continuous lamination of materials onto a plastic support backing with adhesive. Typical applications would be lamination of rapid diagnostic test strips or urine dip sticks.
The Automated Laminating system is a modular design to accommodate various numbers and types of materials. Each material is fed from adjustable spindles through guides and under a pressure roller to assure complete adhesion to the plastic support backing. The system provides the ability to individually remove kiss cut adhesive liners for individual laminate materials. For fragile materials like nitrocellulose, alignment is controlled through automated tracking.
After lamination the materials can either be cut and stacked in a collection chute or rewound onto a take-up reel.
Other process steps such as dispensing, slitting, punching and inspection can also be integrated into the system. For materials that are not available or cannot be processed in roll formats, a magazine feeding system has been designed. Magazines for feeding the plastic support backing as well as more fragile materials are available. The system can also be partially or completely enclosed for control of the manufacturing environment.

Last week, The Pup did the unthinkable.
She turned 12.
Really, what did I do to deserve this?!
So flash back to a couple years ago, in fifth grade, where the Pup discovers a desperate desire to learn to play the french horn. We talk to the band leader at the elementary school, and the one who teaches Jr. high and High School, and are told to start her on Trumpet. Flash back to two years of OMGLOUD while she not only learns it, but this year – lands the coveted first chair in her 6th grade band.
But still – STILL. The longing for the horn…. OH how she wanted to play the French Horn. Ms. S. told her that it would take private lessons, as making the switch is not very easy, and not all Trumpet players can become French Horn players. Ms. S plays trumpet, and does not play the French Horn, so she knows of what she speaks. The Pup looked at her mournfully, and sighed that it would be ok, she knew we couldn't afford the lessons, so she'd just stick with the Trumpet.
So, I did what every mother on the planet would do. I made the call. I called Ms. S. and arranged a meeting with her, without telling the Pup. We spoke of the difficulties, and the challenges, and the possibilities. And we came up with a plan: I'd get the Pup lessons all summer, we'll rent the French Horn for the summer, and the pup's bandmates would be none the wiser – if she can make the switch (according to her summer teacher, who will tell it true) she will. If not, she'll return to Trumpet in the fall, and we'll know which horn she was meant to play. She loves the trumpet too – so it's win-win, really.
Of course – I told the pup none of this. I sent in the cash to the teacher for the rental, without putting an instrument on the list – Ms. S was in the loop, of course. Then, on the first morning I got to see the little brat after her birthday (she was on the 6th grade camping trip ON her birthday. SOB) we had this conversation:
Me: Oh, by the way. I'm not renting you a trumpet for the summer. Sorry.
Her: WHAT? But Mom! You already paid!!!
Me: Sorry, i decided not to.
Her: …did you buy me one? (Not even hopeful)
Me: Pfft. You know I can't afford that.
Her: DRAMATICSIGH I know. I can't even get lessons.
Me: I can too afford lessons. So I'm not renting you a trumpet.
Her: …what? I don't understand….
Me: I rented you a French Horn.
Her: But… I TOLD MS S. WE WERE RENTING A TRUMPET.
Me: I told her we were renting a French Horn.
Her: BUT I TOLD HER A TRUMPET YESTERDAY
me: but _I_ told her last week…
Her: (finally dawns that I'm not fucking with her -well, much) OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU.
Me: I am pretty fuckin' awesome, I know. Pick up the French Horn. Your private tutor will be calling next week.
Her: (noisy squeals only a dog could hear, excitement, hugs, BESTBIRTHDAYEVER, off to school)
So. This is how our summer will be:
God help us all.

Nelson Mandela: His Life In His Words And The Words Of Others
In April 1994, the world watched as millions of South Africans, most of them jubilant but many wary, cast their ballots in that nation's first multiracial election. Ten years later, NPR broadcast "Mandela: An Audio History," by producers Joe Richman and Sue Johnson of Radio Diaries. The radio documentary tells the story of Nobel Peace Prize-winner Nelson Mandela through the leader's own words, the voices those who fought with him, as well as those who fought against him. You can listen to a segment of the documentary by clicking play on the audio above, or you can listen to the full hour-long documentary, and read a timeline of his life, here.

Rihanna Strips Off for Armani SS12
In between swimming with sharks.
Armani ambassador Rihanna has found time to strip off once more for the Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear SS12 campaign. Not only is she possibly the only girl in the world who can make a tribal hand tattoo look good, the genetically-blessed Barbadian pop star also has quite the flair for modelling. Having Mert & Marcus behind the lens doesn't hurt, either. For Armani's Fall campaign, she donned a peroxide wig and had a mysterious car park rendezvous; this time around she sports a somewhat softer look whilst maintaining her characteristically fierce attitude (the lady does swim with sharks for fun, after all).

A look back in history from the files of The Fayetteville Observer.
Sept. 7, 2003: The 84-year-old Huske House moves up a hill on Ramsey Street during its 12-mile relocation to a field south of Linden. Built in 1919 and one of the oldest houses in the Haymount neighborhood, the 6,000-square-foot house was carefully sawed into four pieces to be moved.
Sept. 11, 2003: CBL & Associates purchases Cross Creek Mall, one of four malls the company is buying from Faison Enterprises of Charlotte. CBL took on $64 million in fixed-rate nonrecourse debt and is paying out $52 million in cash for the property. The mall was originally built for about $12 million.
Sept. 9, 1988: The N.C. Board of Transportation awards a $3.1 million contract to widen 2.67 miles of Morganton Road from the U.S. 401 Bypass to Reilly Road. The project is part of Cumberland County's "western network" project to widen Morganton, Cliffdale and Reilly roads to facilitate traffic flow in the congested Cross Creek Mall area.
Sept. 13, 1988: Military and civilian officials break ground at Pope Air Force Base for an $8.5 million supply complex near the transportation complex. The new 171,000-square-foot building will consolidate all Pope's supply assets into a centralized area.
Sept. 7, 1978: Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. President Albert Shafer announces the company will produce a new all-weather radial tire at the Fayetteville plant. The Navigator tire will increase tire production from its present 36,000 tires per day to about 40,000 tires per day.
Sept. 12, 1978: A committee to actively pursue having a statue of the Marquis de Lafayette placed in Cross Creek Park formally organizes, with Glenn Jernigan and Martha Duell named as co-chairmen.
Sept. 7, 1963: The Fayetteville Area Industrial Education Center opens this week with an enrollment of 180 students. This year's enrollment is more than three times the 55 students enrolled when the center opened in 1961.
Sept. 8, 1963: Methodist College librarian Alva W. Stewart stamps and catalogs the 15,000th volume acquired by the library.
Sept. 12, 1963: Fayetteville City Council adopts an ordinance prohibiting dumping of any trash or debris beside any stream in the city limits.
Sept. 12, 1963: Branch Banking & Trust Co. moves its quarters from its present Hay Street location to the Fayetteville Independent Light Infantry Armory at 214 Burgess St. The bank will operate there while its new building is being constructed on the same Hay Street site.
Sept. 12, 1963: Workmen are repairing the leaking roof and landmark clock at the Robeson County Courthouse.

{Don't you love her outfit? It's her ladybug costume & her snow hat. She is getting ready to go to Tahoe}
The conversation went a little something like this:
Kate: Mommy, how did I get in your tummy? Did you eat me?
Me: No, I didn't eat you. Mommy & Daddy loved each other very much & decided it was time for a baby.
Kate: But how did I get IN your tummy?
Me (starting to feel awkward): Well, we prayed for a baby and God put you in my tummy.
Kate: But, how did God put me in your tummy? A hole?
Me (muttering under my breath): Ummmm....yeah, kinda though a hole.
Kate: Well, if God put me in your tummy, then how did I get out of your tummy?
Me: Well, the Doctor said it was time for you to come out.
Kate: Did he look in your tummy & say, "There's a baby girl in there! She needs to come out?"
Me: Yep. That is exactly what happened. The doctor knew we were ready to meet you.
(which was true....I was induced both times.)
Kate: Oh. Can I have some cereal?
Kate is not even 3.5 yet.
Isn't this early for her to start asking me these kinds of things?!?
(Although, last year she did have THIS conversation with Kevin.)
I was TOTALLY not prepared her questions (obviously, based on my lame responses)
Does anyone have any tips on what to say if this conversation comes up again?
Any books I should read? How much info does she really need to know at this age? What is appropriate?

ASHOVER: Residents flee homes after mysterious hole appears in village
Residents were forced to flee their homes after a mysterious hole appeared in a village.
An eight-metre-deep void emerged underneath a pathway on Malthouse Lane in Ashover on Monday morning – much to the bemusement of villagers.
People living in a neighbouring block of six flats were told to leave their homes.
The hole – which measured eight feet in diameter – is believed to have been a 19th Century well.
Duncan Stevens, of Ashover Post Office, said the void was the talk of the village.
He added: "A lot of people are surprised by it.
"There's talk it was caused by a collapsed mine shaft but I've also heard it may have been the site of an old well."
Ashover resident Ron Eyley, who sent us this picture, said: "I could hear the sides of the hole falling in.
"It seemed to be getting bigger and bigger."
A spokesman for Rykneld Homes, which owns the flats, said: "Since being made aware of the hole, we have responded quickly to ensure residents are safe. Temporary accommodation has been provided for some residents while others are able to stay with family and friends.
"The Coal Authority has confirmed that records do not show any mining activity in the area but maps dated from 1879 identify a well and a later show a spring.
"Late yesterday afternoon the hole was filled with large stones to make it safe and this morning specialists were on site to undertake some further investigations to ensure that a permanent solution is found.
"We do not believe there is any immediate danger to the nearby buildings but as a precaution residents are being asked to remain in temporary accommodation.
"Rykneld Homes' staff have contacted tenants and residents of the flats this morning to ensure they are comfortable and kept fully informed of the situation."
A cordon remains in place around the hole.
Malthouse Lane, which was closed yesterday morning, is still shut.

In building your cabinet, you might forget that a PC is running at the heart of it and you don't want to be opening it up each time to turn it on. Also, you may want your cabinets' components (PC, monitor, speakers, marquee light etc.) to power on and off simultaneously with each other, to add to the illusion of a real arcade machine. Depending on what operating system you are using, simply unplugging the PC may cause problems if the operating system is not given time to properly power down.
There are several options to consider...
[edit] 'Smart' Power Strips
A popular approach is to use a Smartstrip or similar 'smart switching' power strip. Smartstrips can provide constant power to some components just like a normal power strip, but their most attractive feature is their automatic switching ability.
One component (typically your PC) is plugged into the blue 'Control' outlet. Other cabinet components are plugged into the switched outlets; these components will remain unpowered until your PC (or whatever is plugged into the blue Control outlet) is switched on. This means that all components will power on when your PC is switched on, and more importantly once your PC completes its shutdown procedure the other components will automatically power off. Using your PC's power switch to turn on and off all components of your cabinet in this way is probably the most popular option for PCs running modern operating systems.
Alternatives to the Bits Ltd. Smartstrip include the Mini Power Minder and the PowerMite DD (sold by BYOAC member Whammoed).
[edit] Build Your Own 'Smart' Power Strip
A simple relay can be added to most regular power strips to add 'smart' functionality to them, using a USB cable or hard-drive power cable from your PC to trigger the relay. When a voltage is detected from the PC, the relay supplies power to the outlets (see the external links below for more details). Considering the effort required it may be wiser to go for a retail option, but if you're on a tight budget and know what you're doing then a hack like this may be the way to go.
[edit] Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS's)
Generally regarded as the safest way of doing things, though not necessarily the cheapest, is to use a small Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in your cabinet. UPS's are intended to provide temporary battery backup power if there's a drop-out, as well as protect against power spikes.
Many models include a serial or USB functionality that can safely initiate your computer's shutdown procedure once power has been cut to the cabinet; the computer will run on the UPS's battery power until it has shut down. When used in an arcade cabinet this means that you can just pull the plug on the whole cabinet and the computer will then safely shut down.
[edit] Standard Power Strips
Another approach is to use a regular power strip and, again, hacking an extended-wire intermittent switch to where the strip's switch is, and mounting that somewhere on the cabinet. Then, in the computer's bios settings, 'power on after interrupt' or something of that nature is selected. When power is restored, by turning the strip on, the computer senses this and turns on.
This solution is recommended for DOS based PCs that don't require a shutdown procedure such as Windows based PCs. The computers hard drive can also be damaged if the computer is writing information to its hard drive when power is cut.
[edit] The Power Switch
Once you've determined the best power solution for your situation, the final step is to mount an on/off switch to an accessible position on your cabinet.
If your cabinets' power is controlled by your computer (as in the Smartstrip solution), you can wire an extended switch from your computer case's power button and mount it somewhere on the surface of the cabinet. The computer could also positioned so that its power switch is accessible through a hole in the side of your cabinet.
[edit] The "Cap Trick"
There is a way to turn on an ATX motherboard using a small electrolytic capacitor. Known as The Cap Trick, it relies on the state of an electrolytic capacitor having a shorted state when there is no charge running through it. When you apply a charge, the capacitor has an 'open' state. It's important to use a capacitor with a very small capacitance, so it will open quickly, mimicking a press of the power button.

Health insurance companies are worried about Romney victory.
Thursday, November 1st, 2012Health insurance company CEOs are nervous about the idea of Mitt Romney winning the election, according to an article in LifeHealthPro, an insurance industry newsletter.
Insurance company executives are worried about Romney's pledge to repeal Obamacare because they have spent millions of dollars getting prepared for 2014, when the bulk of Obamacare begins.
You see, insurance companies like Obamacare – well, some of it. They don't like the part that requires them to spend 80% of their premium revenue on their clients' medical bills. And they don't like having to get approval for premium increases of 10% or more.
Insurance companies don't mind the idea of accepting everyone for coverage, even with pre-existing conditions…. if everyone is required to buy health insurance.
According to the LifeHealthPro article:
Robert Laszewski, an industry consultant and blogger, says the tension is becoming unbearable. "I spend a lot of time in executive offices and board rooms, and they are good Republicans who would like to see Romney win," said Laszewski. "But they are scared to death about what he's going to do."
…Obama's law is starting to look more and more like a tangible business opportunity. In a little over a year, some 30 million uninsured people will start getting coverage through a mix of subsidized private insurance for middle-class households and expanded Medicaid for low-income people. Many of the new Medicaid recipients would get signed up in commercial managed care companies.
A recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study estimated the new markets would be worth $50 billion to $60 billion in premiums in 2014, and as much as $230 billion annually within seven years.
Nearly every advertisement by every Republican candidate says they will "Repeal Obamacare!". Many of these candidates have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from insurance companies and insurance industry PACs (political action committees). Insurance companies don't really want Obamacare repealed – just the parts they don't like.
So if Mitt Romney becomes President, don't expect him to follow through on his pledge to repeal Obamacare. He will tweak it and give the insurance companies what they want: more customers, more profits, fewer regulations – and fewer protections for Americans who rely on their health insurance.

Indian Beach residents are somewhat closer to getting a park on the site of the Casa Museo housing development.
They have been asking the county to buy the eight-acre property at 4200 Bay Shore Road and turn it into a park.
On May 21, the Parks, Recreation and Environmental Advisory Board moved the property, which is owned by Coastal Island Group, from eighth place to fourth place on a county purchase-priority list.
The City Commission will hear a report on that change Monday, June 1, and commissioners may vote to endorse the move.
At the last commission meeting May 18, Mayor Dick Clapp made a motion to move the potential project to fourth place on the county list, but that motion was voted down.

How My Blogs Evolved
Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
I have been blogging for six months now. I can hardly believe that the girl, who took six months to have the courage to write her first post, has been blogging six months! I have learned from trials and tribulations. Mainly I have learned from my own mistakes, but more importantly I have learned from other bloggers.
I have no idea how I got here, but here is what I have discovered so far.
What I knew in the beginning:
The first blog that I followed was Iowa Girl Eats. So one day when she had a guest post from her brother, on How To Start and Maintain a Blog, I was intrigued. It sounded so easy! I could totally start a blog after reading that! Well that was May 3rd of last year, so it definitely did not happen over night. It was just the ignition to my project.
That post made me think about…
1. Who was I trying to reach? Well I wanted to reach people just like me, who had similar interest and attributes. It is a far stretch to say that I was shooting for foodies, so more like clueless post-graduates who like dogs.
2. How am I going to maintain my blog? My goal was to post everyday for a whole year. My dream goal was that it was always going to be at the same time everyday…sometimes that happens.
3. What Technology am I going to use? I was sold on WordPress as my platform. At the time, I just did not know there was a difference between being self-hosted and wordpress.com. I do now…
What I learned along the way:
Being self-hosted is the best option, but by no means is it the easiest option.
Giant sized pictures do not benefit anyone.
Organization is the key to a strong post…otherwise I end up writing about my cough syrup.
I need to proof read more. Sorry it's true.
What I have picked up from other bloggers:
I attended my first OKC Bloggers Night Out in February, which I mentioned here and what I learned from it here. Then our little group grew into an organization, which is not referred to as EngageOKC. Our first inaugural event was hosted the last week in April, and I left the meeting feeling energized and happy to be a part of this amazing organization. Here's what I learned.
1. Social Media 2.0 from Pencil Shavings Blog: I learned the importance of reaching my readers through all forms of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest). Timing these links is beneficial to the day and hour. I should also think about reaching my audience through stronger pictures and catchier phrases, depending on the platform. Commenting on other like-minded blogs is also helpful.
2. Picking a Platform/Blogger vs. WordPress from Pippin + Pearl: I already knew that I enjoyed the benefits of WordPress, but it was nice to be reassured that it was the platform that fit my needs best. I was surprised to learn that it takes Google four weeks to index WordPress' posts, so that reinforced the importance of social media and tagging for me.
3. Building a Personal Brand from Jeremy and Kathleen: This is something I struggle with the most. I blog about food, but I do not consider myself to be a foodie. I am a do-it-yourselfer just trying to learn the basics in the kitchen and eat as healthily as possible. I like blogging because of the design and picture aspect. I choose to blog about food because I eat everyday. From this my take was that I need to be true to myself, and I also need to work on my personal brand.
4. Creating a Community from Design Crush Blog: I don't have individual sponsors for my blog. I am a featured Foodbuzz Publisher, which means I am already part of a large community. Even though I do not bring in sponsors, it is nice when other bloggers link to my page. It increases my traffic, so I want to try and return the favor as much as possible.
I hope this post is helpful to anyone out there who wants to start a blog. I am not a professional. I am not even a strong writer. I just find joy in sharing my crazy life with you. I have learned so much along the way, and I am so thankful for the blogs out there that I follow and the blogger I have met along the way.
What have you learned from blogging?

7/16/12: For the past year, artist Ken Leslie has been visiting the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier every other week to work on his Gold Dome Cycle.
He climbs 201 stairs to its highest point, above the golden dome and below Ceres' feet, and paints one section of the view into the pages of his circular book.
The finished work will show a 360-degree panorama of Montpelier made in 365 days. Eva visits with Ken in the "drum of the dome" and watches the final page come to life.

Discuss Psychic Abilities for Free. No Account is Needed.
The abilty to move a body of water with ones minds. Possible?
I can see why the terminology is important, yet really as far as making something sound credible to non because of using pyschokinesis to hydro or aqua kinesis...I would think any skeptic would not care what it was called, but thats just my word in that topic. As for the question, it depends on how the psychokinesis is being done. You might be terrible at moving denser objects, maybe you move the object's particles directly or use the forces around the object to move it. Think of having a cell phone and making it float, you could be using the air or the phone itself. Then the other point of interest could be taken into effect, it could be that you have no other skill in psychokinesis but that of manipulating the magnetic field or maybe even gravitational fields, there are a lot of options and things to consider, but it eventually comes down to subatomic particles that make up all the effects or have influence in them...but yeah, it's possible depending on how you intend to do it. But at least you have a lot of options to try.
For me, water has always been the hardest, and it's only recently that I discovered why. Come to think of it, I have never been comfortable around water outside of the shower, I mean, I'm not a good swimmer by any means! Find out what kind of element best represents you, and this can be as simple as experimenting with the various elements themselves. For me, it's always been easy for me to use electricity, which is actually a secondary element, as far as primary, I'm more comfortable around fire/earth. I'm a very grounded person, and water/air are very unpredictable elements, they can take the shape of anything, adapt to any situation. Good luck on finding yourself.
Well what if your comfortable with multiple elements such as fire, electricity and water but have problems with getting set using them? I had more success with electricity but I barely had any success with it. I tried all possible ways of getting used to it, such as the static on the TVs when you turn them off just after, or when you rub fresh dry-cleaned socks on the carpet or when by any chances what-so-ever, get zapped by electricity and actually lived(which I seriously doubt will happen in my life). I have tried all ways, but instead, I feel regular energy around my hands. I'm not sure what problem I'm having, and I also happened to hear that someone was able to walk on water, but only for a half second then they fell in the water. But I'm just stumbled on this very subject. Any help would be appreciated!
Hmm, good question Sting_Chameleon. And we can't all have the privelage of being stabbed by one of Zeus' thunderbolts, right? =D Lol, anyways, to answer your question in three words or less...use your mind! For me, I have always considered my mind to be the most powerful weapon I posess, which is saying quite a bit, as I have trained in martial arts for near 7 years now. The most important thing I believe would be to work on visualization. Visualization, along with some deep energy breathing, is the best method, to learn sight through visualization technique, and also to familiarize yourself with your inner self, your element, and your own true unique power. When practicing this, visualize taking in energy, not as pure, blank, formless energy, but as the element in question. For example, you can imagine water washing over you, and soaking it all in, then breathing out all the negative energies within, so your left with the pure, clean, water energy. If you don't meditate a lot (I am being a hypocrite here, as I haven't in a long time either =/ ), then I would say give that a try, zone everything out, and just focus on your self, your visualizations, and your own purpose; as in, the reason your here, and the reason you want to unlock your true potential. I hope this helps!
Hi i'm new, this is my opinion wouldn't it depend on what you intend to use it for you know practical use. It shouldn't be a question of possibility but a question of practicallity what could you use it for if it was possible.
Hahaha [img src=\"http://forums.psionicsonline.net/style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":P\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /] I\'m glad you enjoy that as much as I do. Also, thanks for the very warm welcome everybody!

When Bobby Flay looks at a map of the United States, he doesn't see states—he sees ingredients: wild Alaskan king salmon, tiny Maine blueberries, fiery southwestern chiles. The Food Network celebrity and renowned chef-restaurateur created his Bar Americain restaurants as our country's answer to French bistros—to celebrate America's regional flavors and dishes, interpreted as only Bobby Flay can.
Now you can rediscover American cuisine at home with the recipes in Bobby Flay's Bar Americain Cookbook. Start with a Kentucky 95—a riff on a classic French cocktail but made with bourbon—and Barbecued Oysters with Black Pepper–Tarragon Butter. Choose from sumptuous soups and salads, including a creamy clam chowder built on a sweet potato base, and Kentucky ham and ripe figs over a bed of arugula dressed with molasses-mustard dressing. Entrees will fill your family family-style, from red snapper with a crisp skin of plantains accompanied by avocado, mango, and black beans to a host of beef steaks, spice-rubbed and accompanied by side dishes such as Brooklyn hash browns and cauliflower and goat cheese gratin. Bar Americain's famed brunch dishes and irresistible desserts round out this collection of America's favorite flavors.
Bobby also shares his tips for stocking your pantry with key ingredients for everyday cooking, as well as expert advice on essential kitchen equipment and indispensable techniques.

another great cookbook from Bobby Flay I am so pleased with it
California has some great restaurants, but not a Bar Americain. I bought this book for the easy recipes and decided to try the "Sweet Potato Gratin" for my first attempt. I'm sure it didn't end up the way it's severed in the restaurant. Improvising like an Iron Chief, {which I'm not}, I used a 10x8 glass baking dish. The recipe calls for a 10" square. I followed the recipe line by line and found that I had to continually whisk the heavy cream mixture, which separated while I arranged the layers of potato. Then came the baking. 30 min covered, 45 min uncovered, 15 min resting, and whoola - Mush. The top was already browned and crisp, so there was no way I could continue baking the dish. Conclusion; I put the mixture in the blender, on the puree cycle, and made mash potato yams which came out really rich in taste. Maybe I should have used a ceramic baking dish instead of glass? Maybe 2 cups of cream was to much? All in all, well, I like the book and will continue to try Bobby's many recipe's.
I just love all the products you offer.
"When Bobby Flay looks at a map of the United States, he doesn't see states - he sees ingredients": When I read this statement, I was hooked. I cannot wait to try every recipe!
Very pleased with the book. It will be a great help to me when entertaining my friends, the drink mixs especially. Thank You so Much Bobby.
