Coughing--Coughing is a sudden expulsion of air from the lungs through the epiglottis at an amazingly fast speed (estimated at 100 miles per hour). With such a strong force of air, coughing is the body's mechanism for clearing the breathing passageways of unwanted irritants.
Allergy--Allergens like pollen are nothing more than foreign plant antigens. The stimulus for sneezing gets triggered when allergens first enter the nasal tissue. Pollen allergens encounter the plasma cells in the nose, which respond by producing antibodies. These antibodies attach to mast cells, which are white blood cells containing the chemical histamine. As more antibodies are produced, they cause the mast cells to release histamine. Histamine then produces allergy symptoms. A stuffy and runny nose, sneezing and watery eyes help to remove the invading pollen.
Breathing--The two lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system. Other components of the respiratory system conduct air to the lungs, such as the trachea (windpipe) which branches into smaller structures called bronchi.
The process of breathing (respiration) is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.
During expiration, the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases. As a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.
Immune Response--The immune system is comprised of specialized white blood cells, called lymphocytes that adapt themselves to fight specific foreign invaders. These cells develop into two groups in the bone marrow. From the bone marrow, one group of lymphocytes migrates to a gland called the thymus and become T lymphocytes or T cells. Within the thymus, the T cells mature under the influence of several hormones. The T cells mature into several different types, including helper, killer and suppressor cells.
When matured, the T cell types are ready to work together to directly attack foreign invaders, providing what physicians call cell-mediated immunity. This type of immunity can become deficient in persons with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, because HIV attacks and destroys helper T cells. The other group of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes or B cells, mature and develop within the bone marrow itself. In that process, they achieve the ability to recognize specific foreign invaders.
From the bone marrow, B cells migrate through the body fluids to the lymph nodes, spleen and blood. B lymphocytes provide the body with humoral immunity as they circulate in the fluids in search of specific foreign invaders to destroy.

Lymph Nodes--The lymphatic system is a complex network of thin vessels, valves, ducts, nodes, and organs. It helps to protect and maintain the fluid environment of the body by producing, filtering, and conveying lymph and by producing various blood cells. Lymph nodes play an important part in the body's defense against infection.
The most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is infection, which might occur even if the infection is trivial or not. Afferent lymph vessels bring unfiltered fluids into the lymph node to be filtered while efferent vessels carry clean fluids away from the lymph node and to the cardiovascular system where it helps form the plasma in the blood.
Overall, lymph nodes work like a biological filtering system. When the body is invaded by foreign organisms, the painful swelling sometimes felt in the neck, armpits, groin, or tonsils comes from the microorganisms being trapped inside collections of lymph cells or nodes. Eventually, these organisms are destroyed and eliminated by cells that line the walls of the lymph nodes and the swelling and pain subside.
Lymphatics and Breast--The lymphatic system is often referred to as the body's "secondary circulatory system". The lymphatic system collects excess fluid in the body's tissues and returns it to the bloodstream. Lymph formation occurs at the microscopic level.
During the exchange of fluid and molecules between the blood circulation and body tissues, blood capillaries may not reabsorb all of the fluid. Surrounding lymphatic capillaries absorb the excess fluid. The fluid is then filtered and transported back by the lymphatic system into large veins near the heart. The lymphatic system can play a very worrisome role in the spread of breast cancer. Components of the lymphatic system called lymph nodes are distributed at specific locations throughout the body.
There is also an extensive network of lymphatic vessels in every woman's breast tissue, which is important in regulating the local fluid balance as well as in filtering out harmful substances. The lymph vessels in the breast may inadvertently supply cancerous cells with access to a highway along which the cancerous cells can move to other parts of the body.
This process is called metastasis and may result in the formation of a secondary cancer mass in a different location of the body. Regular breast self examinations can help to detect tumors earlier in their growth, hopefully before they spread quickly or metastasize.
Phagocytosis--Macrophages are scavenger cells that can ingest dead tissue and foreign cells. Macrophages form tentacles called pseudopods to surround an invader. Once inside the macrophage, the invader is walled off and then digested and destroyed by a bag of digestive chemicals, or enzymes.
Vaccines--Vaccinations are injections of antigens into the body. Once the antigens enter the blood, they circulate along with other cells, such B and T cells. B and T cells are white blood cells that help the body defend itself against foreign invaders. As the antigens invade the body's tissues, they attract the attention of macrophages. Macrophages are non-specific scavengers, which in this case, engulf the antigens.
The macrophages then signal the T cells that antigens are invading. The killer-type of T cells respond by attacking the invading antigen. Finally, the suppressor T cells stop the attack. After a vaccination, the body will have a memory of an encounter with a potentially dangerous invader for a period of time, and hopefully have a better ability to fight it off if ever exposed to it again in greater numbers.

This is the only reservation I made prior to our arrival in San Diego. We took advantage of their Sinful Sunday special and shopped for wine in their retail store. It was filled with many of our favorites making it hard to choose! I rarely eat meat, but couldn't refuse the overture my husband was displaying about the pork ragout over polenta. Yup...that good! Next we had mussels which were good, but not the best I've had. (Brasserie by Niche in St.Louis has that honor.) my recommendation, try a salad. Our two pasta dishes were fabulous, garganelli and spicy shrimp puttanesca. The service was attentive and Matt, the floor manager, couldn't have been more helpful. Make a reservation...you won't be disappointed!

Lots of musicians out there are looking for great band templates…I'm surprised with all the talent on here no one has ventured in to that area yet. Maybe this will give someone an idea! I know I could use an overhaul on my band site big time!
Big kudos to all the talent on here. I have only been a member a short time, but I have already bought 5 or 6 templates and have my eye on several more. I just am not creative enough to come up with great designs, so I'm glad there are folks out there like yourselves that have so much talent and put it to good use.
Happy holidays to everyone…be sure and step away from the keyboard and step up to the turkey table!
Peace, John

Hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is the process of injecting fluid--mostly water and sand, but with additional chemicals--into the ground at a high pressure to fracture shale rocks and release the oil and natural gas inside.
Recent technological advances in oil and gas drilling--horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing--have created a wealth of opportunities and challenges for states with fossil fuel reserves that can be accessed through the combination of these two technologies. The increased use of fracking has been an economic boon for many states, not only those with fracking, but also those with supporting industries, such as frac sand mining or associated machinery manufacturing.
Opponents of fracking argue that the potential negative environmental and human health impacts could be significant. Although wells have been fracked for over 65 years in the United States, concerns have been raised about whether federal, state and local regulatory agencies can keep up with the recent rapid increase in fracking activity, and adequately protect the environment and human health. As with any type of energy extraction, either traditional or renewable, there are economic, environmental and political trade-offs.
- For a full explanation of fracking, see "Fracking."
According to a report by the U.S. Geological Survey, the first exploratory oil and gas wells were drilled in southwestern Virginia in the 1890s. Commercial production of natural gas did not begin until 1931. Fracking has been practiced in Virginia since the early to mid-1950s.[3][4]
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has oil and natural gas production data going back to 1981 for Virginia. In 1981, 13,000 barrels of oil were produced in Virginia. Production quickly peaked for the years shown in 1983 when 65,000 barrels of oil were produced, after which production fell. Production was volatile, although it generally decreased steadily, until it reached a low of 5,000 barrels in 1998. In 2013, 9,000 barrels of crude oil were produced.[5]
Natural gas production data dates back to 1991, when 14,906 MMCF of gas was produced. Production generally increased across the years shown, with a sharp increase in 2003 when 143,645 MMCF of gas were produced. After that production sharply decreased, but surpassed 2003 levels in 2010. In 2012, 146,407 MMCF of natural were production.[6]
From 2000 to 2013, 1,118 permits were issued for gas wells. 170 permits were issued for horizontal gas wells and 25 permits were issued for oil wells.[7]
Areas of activity
On November 18, 2014, the U.S. Forest Service released a new land use plan for the George Washington National Forest. This plan shrunk the amount of land available for oil and gas leases in the forest, from 995,00 acres to 177,000 acres. Of those 177,000 acres, private companies own the mineral rights for 167,000 acres, and the remaining 10,000 acres are available for oil and gas drilling. The forest lies on the edge of the Marcellus Shale, a highly productive oil shale formation, where significant oil and gas drilling, using fracking, has been occurring. Only about 10 percent of the George Washington National Forest lies in the state of Virginia.[8]
As of April 2011 there were not any active oil or gas wells in George Washington National Forest, and there has not been any drilling activity since the 1990s. There are two small natural gas fields adjacent to the forest, however. The map to the right shows the area around the forest.
Economic impact
The use of fracking, often in combination with horizontal drilling, has made it possible to extract supplies of oil and natural gas that were once economically unfeasible to extract. This has led to significant growth in the domestic oil and gas industry, and in the supply of domestically produced oil and natural gas. The growth in activity has impacted the economy in direct ways, such as increased capital investments (from both the U.S. and other countries), royalty and lease payments, and government revenues in the form of fees and taxes. The increased supply of natural gas and oil has also affected electricity prices, manufacturing, service industries and employment. In many places, fracking has increased employment in the mining (oil and gas) sector and supporting industries, such as the restaurant and housing sectors. Consumers and manufacturers have also benefitted thus far from lower oil and natural gas prices, and increased demand for pipeline, drilling and other ancillary equipment. As demand for natural gas and oil grows, however, prices are expected to rise.[9]
Taxes, fees and revenue
Fracking booms can increase local government revenue through increases in property and sales taxes, which can help compensate for the costs detailed below. The primary revenue streams from fracking--mineral leasing revenues and severance taxes--go to state and federal governments. As of June 2013, Virginia employed the following city and county license taxes on severed materials:
- "1.5% gross severance tax on oil
- 1% on gross severance tax on coal or gas
- Counties and cities can levy an additional maximum 1% gross tax on gas
- Cities and counties may adopt a maximum 1% gross tax on every person engaged in the business of severing coal or gas."
The revenue collected from an additional gas tax is deposited in the general fund of the respective county or city. Revenue from an additional county or city tax is deposited into the Coal and Gas Road Improvement Fund. Areas that comprise the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority have 75 percent of their tax deposited into the Coal and Gas Road Improvement Fund. The remaining 25 percent is deposited into the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Fund.[10]
Royalties and land sales
The United States is one of the few countries where property owners can own the right to use and build on their land, known as surface rights, but they may not own the rights to the minerals located under their property. Depending on the state the mineral rights may have been sold in the past and may now belong to someone other than the surface owner. In fact, those mineral rights may belong to more than one individual, a company, or many individuals, who now have the right to extract those minerals, and in some states this can happen without the permission of the property owner. This can cause tension between the mineral owner, or whoever is leasing the mineral rights, and property owner.[11]
Economic impact study
Economic modeling | ||
IMPLAN and REMI are two econometric modeling systems used in both the private and public sectors to predict economic outcomes of policy changes. While these systems are widely used and highly respected, their results are theoretical and may not be universally accepted.
Because the oil and gas industry has grown so rapidly, there is not a wealth of data regarding its economic impacts. Instead economists use forecasting models, such as IMPLAN and REMI, to predict the impact increased fossil fuel extraction is having on the economy. These studies usually measure both direct impacts, i.e., the jobs and income being added within the oil and gas industry, and indirect impacts, i.e., jobs created throughout the supply chain. These studies also include induced impact, i.e., jobs created through increased spending due to growth in the industry.[15]
The following data are taken from a study done by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), a research consulting firm, for the American Petroleum Institute about the economic impact of the oil and natural gas industry in 2011 in Virginia. According to the PwC study, the oil and gas industry added $12.46 billion in total value in 2011, including direct, indirect and induced value. Of this $3.45 billion, or 0.8 percent of the state's total value added, was direct, $4.06 billion was indirect and $4.96 billion was induced. In total, this accounted for 2.9 percent of the state's total value in 2011.[15]
The PwC study attributes 141,599 jobs, or 3 percent of employment in Virginia in 2011, to jobs created directly or indirectly by, or induced from, the oil and natural gas industry. The industry directly employed 46,979 people, or 1 percent of state total employment. Indirectly the industry employed 35,895 people and induced 58,725 jobs.
Direct, indirect and induced labor income, according to this study, was $7.22 billion, totaling 2.5 percent of Virginia's labor income in 2011. Direct labor income from the mining sector was $1.66 billion, or 0.6 percent of the state's total. Indirect labor income totaled $2.64 billion and induced labor income was $2.92 billion.[15]
Environmental impact
Because of the sudden and unprecedented growth in fracking across the United States, getting high-quality, unbiased, state-specific information on the environmental impacts of fracking can be difficult. Most studies that would fit those first two qualifications are government studies that focus on the nation as a whole. As such, much of the information that follows in this section may only apply generally to the state. State-specific information has been added where possible.
As with any type of energy extraction, there are several areas of risk when it comes to air quality. In the case of fracking, these risks include air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and methane. Some environmental groups have raised concerns that methane could be leaked during the extraction process, resulting in unnecessary pollution.[16][17] Most of this pollution occurs during the well completion phase. Fracking operations can also emit known carcinogens, which have been linked with increased rates of cancer.[18]
With regard to carbon dioxide, when natural gas is used to generate electricity in power plants, it produces fewer carbon emissions than coal-fired power plants. According to a 2014 study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "as a result of the increased use of natural gas, CO2 emissions from U.S. fossil-fuel power plants were 23% lower in 2012 than they would have been" without the increase in natural gas use.[19] During the extraction process, however, methane is emitted, and methane actually traps 20 times more carbon dioxide than other greenhouse gases. Nevertheless, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CO2 emissions in the United States dropped by 3.8 percent in 2012, due in large part to the "increased availability of natural gas, linked to the shale gas revolution."[20][19]
A 2014 report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found a decrease of 3.3 percent in overall greenhouse gas emissions and a 12 percent decrease in methane emissions from 2011 to 2012. Natural gas extraction is the second largest producer of methane, after cattle.[17][21]
The central and eastern United States have been experiencing an increased number of earthquakes over the last few years, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the government agency responsible for such data. Studies from the USGS have not found fracking directly responsible for this increase in felt earthquakes; however, the USGS is looking into regulations that would use seismic data to determine thresholds dictating when and where fracking can occur.[22] There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that this growth in the number of earthquakes has been caused by the increased use of injection wells to dispose of fracking wastewater. While fracking has been rarely known to cause earthquakes, there is an established scientific link between earthquakes and the disposal of fluids in deep, underground injection wells. Once a well has been fracked, the water returned to the surface is called wastewater, and contains large amounts of salt and other contaminants.[23] Some of this water can be recycled, but that water which can't be recycled is often stored in injection wells. These injection wells are generally considered the safest and most cost-effective place for wastewater to be stored. Injection wells are located thousands of feet underground and are encased in cement. Multiple drilling wells often rely on one disposal well for wastewater storage. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates there are 144,000 of these wells across the United States receiving 2 billion gallons of frack fluid per day.[22][24]
Induced seismology, or man-made earthquakes, have been around for decades and can be caused by mining, damming rivers and injecting fluids into underground wells. Earthquakes are caused by injection wells when water pumped into underground wells causes the faults under the earth to slip. Even though scientists at the USGS have been able to cause earthquakes intentionally by carefully injecting liquid into the earth, the link between injection wells and earthquakes is not fully understood. One of the largest concerns for scientists and regulators is that they do not have the tools to predict whether wastewater will cause seismic activity. These concerns are compounded by the lack of knowledge about where faults are located across the central and eastern United States. The USGS is just beginning to map these areas in more detail in order to understand the seismic risks. As of June 2014, these earthquakes have typically been small, two or three in magnitude on the Richter scale, but at least one scientist has raised concerns that earthquakes could grow in intensity if old injection wells continue to be used for storage.[22][23]
When it comes to water protection and fracking there are four main areas of risk: the depletion of fresh water sources, spills and leaks of fracking fluid into water, mismanaged produced water and flowback, and stormwater pollution. Stormwater, flowback, produced water and wastewater can be harmful because they contain total dissolved solids and naturally occurring radioactive materials. Because of the recent rapid growth in fracking, there are still many uncertainties about the effects of fracking on water. There are studies that link fracking to groundwater contamination, but they remain controversial. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is releasing a report in spring 2015 on the potential impacts of fracking on drinking water, and is working on effective programs for managing these potential risks.[18][25]
One of the main criticisms of fracking is that the process uses a disproportionately large amount of water. Up to 10 million gallons of fresh water may be required to frack one well. A 2014 study from the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas found, however, that the amount of water used in a traditional well, versus a hydraulically fractured well, is not appreciably different. According to one of the researchers, Dr. Bridget Scanlon, "The water used to produce oil using hydraulic fracturing is similar to the water used in the U.S. to produce oil using conventional techniques." The only difference between the amount of water used during the two oil or gas production techniques, is when in the process water is used. The study was funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.[26][27]
Because of the recent, rapid growth of fracking, little is known about the potential impacts to human health. Government agencies dealing with human health issues have raised concerns about some chemicals that can be released during the fracking process, including VOCs. The Centers for Disease Control are working with the EPA and federal, state and local agencies to better understand potential impacts.[28][29]
Socioeconomic impact
Fracking can also present challenges to communities. Increased oil and natural gas production happens in boom or bust cycles, and often these cycles disproportionately occur in rural communities. Large scale fracking booms can also lead to increases in crime, such as substance abuse, sex trade and domestic abuse. An influx of oil and gas workers also strains housing and traffic resources. This lack of housing can push oil and gas workers into so-called 'man camps,' which are "clusters of mobile homes, RVs, and trucks," or into hotels. A fracking boom also puts heavy traffic on roads, which can strain infrastructure, increase traffic accidents, and increase the likelihood of oil spills. Local governments respond by hiring more police, social workers, health care workers and emergency response personnel, thereby spending more of their budgets on roads and social programs. Currently, much of the tax revenue generated by the oil and gas industry goes to the federal and state government, not the local governments.[18]
Departments, agencies and organizations
- The stated mission of the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy (DMME) is to "enhance the development and conservation of mineral resources in a safe and environmentally sound manner to support a more productive economy." The department is composed of five divisions:[30]
- Division of Mineral Mining
- Division of Geology and Mineral Resources
- Division of Gas and Oil
- Division of Mines
- Division of Mined Land Reclamation
- In fiscal year 2014, the department's general fund budget totaled $11,988,992 and the non-general fund budget totaled $22,460,941. Approximately 42 percent of the department's funding came from the federal government.[30]
- Within the DMME, the Division of Gas and Oil is responsible for "regulating the effects of gas and oil operations both on and below the surface, issuing permits, client assistance programs, inspection of well sites and gathering pipelines, reclamation of abandoned well sites, protection of correlative rights and promotion of resource conservation practices." The Virginia Gas and Oil Board, the governing body of the Division of Gas and Oil, is composed of seven members appointed by the governor. There must be one representative each from the gas, oil and coal industries. The remaining four members cannot be representatives of the gas, oil or coal industries.[31][32]
- The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) "administers state and federal laws and regulations for air quality, water quality, water supply and land protection." The department was formed in 1993. The department's budget for fiscal year 2014 was $153,767,475.[33][34][35]
Major organizations
- The Virginia Oil and Gas Association (VOGA) is a trade group "representing the interests of companies, partnerships, individuals or other entities having an interest in the oil and gas industry." VOGA was founded in 1977. VOGA is listed as a "cooperating association" by the Independent Petroleum Association of America, which is a national trade group that "advocates its members' views before the U.S. Congress, the Administration and federal agencies."[36][37][38]
- Wild Virginia is a self-described "grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving wild forest ecosystems in Virginia's national forests through education and advocacy." The group is actively involved in anti-fracking activities.[39][40]
Natural gas use in Virginia
- For more information on energy consumption in Virginia, see "Energy policy in Virginia"
In 2011, roughly one quarter of Virginia's energy use was for residential purposes and one quarter was for commercial purposes. About one-fifth of Virginia's energy was consumed for industrial purposes. The largest source of energy consumption was transportation, which took up approximately 30 percent. Most of the energy used in the state is in the form of petroleum (used primarily for transportation), followed by natural gas, coal and then nuclear electric power. Per capita energy consumption in Virginia is below the national median.[2]
Consumption of energy for heating homes in Virginia | ||||
Source | Virginia 2011 | U.S. average 2011 | ||
Natural gas | 33.9% | 49.5% | ||
Fuel oil | 6.5% | 6.5% | ||
Electricity | 51.6% | 35.4% | ||
Liquid Petroleum Gases (LPG) | 4.4% | 5% | ||
Other/none | 3.6% | 3.6% |
Virginia produced 1,087.8 trillion BTU of energy in 2011. Of that, just under 25 percent came from nuclear and just over 50 percent came from coal. Less than one percent came from crude oil. About 14 percent came from natural gas. The remaining nine percent came from what the U.S. Energy Information Administration classifies as 'other' renewable energies.[41]
Natural gas surpassed coal-fired generation for the first time in 2012. Similar to most states on the East Coast, the majority of Virginia's natural gas supply is transported through several major interstate pipelines. Virginia receives its natural gas supplies from the Gulf Coast region and the Appalachians. However, increased natural gas production in Pennsylvania has led to proposals to reverse flow on interstate pipelines that deliver natural gas to the Northeast. This would allow natural gas supplies to flow from Pennsylvania to Virginia. Pipelines in Virginia include Columbia Gas Transmission Corp., Cove Point LNG LP., Dominion Transmission Co., East Tennessee Natural Gas Co. and Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Co.[2]
Where electricity comes from in Virginia[42] | ||||
Type | Amount generated (MWh) | % of state** | % of U.S.** | |
Petroleum-fired | 12 | 0.19% | 0% | |
Natural gas-fired | 1,850 | 29.94% | 0% | |
Coal-fired | 1,786 | 28.91% | 0% | |
Nuclear | 2,222 | 35.97% | 0% | |
Hydroelectric | 72 | 1.17% | 0% | |
Other renewables | 282 | 4.56% | 0% | |
Total net electricity generation | 6,178 | 100% | 0% | |
**Note: Because the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) does not include all of a state's energy production in these figures, the EIA totals do not equal 100 percent. Instead, we have generated our own percentages. |

Brought to you by
You're disgusting. Shame on you for responding in that manner.
With all this time you spend stirring up trouble on the internet, I'm sure you could find something more productive to do. However, it seems you would rather hide behind your computer while collecting welfare, food stamps, and whatever other government assistance my tax dollars are paying for.
I'll be having my 5th c-section June 6. I feel that way every time. It's a big deal, so I think it's normal to be scared. Good luck.
This will be my 4th c-section... And with each one.. I'm nervous. Don't listen to negativity, it won't help you or your baby. You already know the risks with EVERY type of surgery and you don't need to focus on the bad things. It's not good for your baby.
It's all normal sweetie. Just focus on having a happy and (hopefully) healthy pregnancy. This is why you are in groups, we all experience the same nervousness and fears. Sometimes just to talk about it will help!!

Transition from Pizzicato 3.2 to 3.3
The new Pizzicato 3.3 version uses two folders to organize its
files, particularly for Windows Vista. The data and the work directory, the libraries, the templates
(these files all can be modified or completed by the user) are
installed in a sub-directory of "My documents", also
entitled "Pizzicato 3.3". These repertories are fixed and it is better not to move them
nor rename them, because this could introduce disturbances into
the operation of the software. If you had a 3.2 or previous version of Pizzicato, your
personal files were placed by default in the "Program
Files/Pizzicato 3" directory. For your facility, you can
transfer them from the folder "Pizzicato 3" into the
file "My documents/Pizzicato 3.3", using the the
Windows file explorer. On Mac OS X, the data is in the same directory than the
program. You can also transfer your personal documents from the
old folder to the new one.
The application as well as all files no likely to be modified by
the user (help, program, images) are installed in the standard
program directory (in Program Files/Pizzicato 3.3).

Social Democrats (SPÖ) and the People's Party (ÖVP) keep discussing the debt brake.
The government coalition wants to turn the tool into a constitutional law. It needs the approval of at least one opposition party in parliament in the coming months to achieve this goal. SPÖ officials and representatives of the ÖVP started meeting today (Tues) after taking a comparably brief Christmas holiday. The Greens announced they would not gather for talks with SPÖ and ÖVP before the coalition sorted out their internal conflicts.
SPÖ and its coalition partner especially disagree about a tax on assets. The Social Democrats are in favour of a higher property tax and a new tax on assets while the ÖVP opposes such ideas. The party of Vice Chancellor Michael Spindelegger said the focus should be on reducing investments to firms close to the state like Federal Railways (ÖBB). It also suggested reforming the Austrian pension system. Spindelegger said people willing to work longer than they had to should be allowed to do so – and financially benefit in contrast to those who opted for early retirement.
The SPÖ reportedly also wanted higher taxes on alcohol while rumour has it that the ÖVP could give up its strict no-go policy to new taxes in case of mineral oil tax rates. Such a measure could be labelled as a carbon emission charge. It would guarantee initial effects on the state budget thanks to wide unwillingness in Austria to give up cars in favour of bicycles and public transport.
The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) suggested lowering the maximum tax rate by eight per cent to 42 per cent – an idea the SPÖ was not happy to hear of. The ÖVP signalised support for the suggestion. Freedom Party (FPÖ) leaders are expected to meet with ÖVP whip Karlheinz Kopf for talks in the coming days. Already this morning, SPÖ Chancellor Werner Faymann met with Spindelegger to discuss the government's fiscal strategy for 2012.
Faymann and Spindelegger eventually agreed that the state's budget must improve by two billion Euros in 2012. SPÖ Mayor Michael Häupl suggested setting up taxes to achieve 70 per cent of this sum. Faymann initially mentioned 1.5 billion Euros of needed savings before ÖVP Finance Minister Maria Fekter claimed that 2.8 billion Euros were necessary. The government now said two billion Euros were the envisaged sum. Another 800,000 Euros must be contributed by the country's nine provinces. This decision could mean a reduction of road infrastructure investments and less spending on childcare projects in towns and cities.
SPÖ and ÖVP made clear they would keep fighting for a constitutional debt limit despite Moody's recent confirmation of Austria's top credit rating, AAA. The US American rating agency said Austria's economic situation was solid thanks to the government's intention of adding the debt brake to the constitution. Fekter said she intended to keep up her attempts to get the opposition onboard. The finance minister underlined that Austria had to pay higher and higher interest rates to cover its debts. The budget deficit rose as well during the crisis.
Former SPÖ Chancellor Franz Vranitzky said the government should focus on creating a complete package of fiscal measures instead of releasing news about their individual tax and austerity plans. Such tactics led to nothing but getting the coalition partner to say no, Vranitzky told Die Presse today. The former SPÖ chairman also warned about spending less on the education sector and research initiatives.

Kimmswick, Missouri is a wonderful little town that attracts thousands of visiters every year. It has tiny little shops that are filled with handmade craft and foods. They have several festivals each year, and I have yet to attend any of them. Kimmswick really isn't my "cup of tea" but they have a really amazing restaurant there call The Blue Owl. They have some of the most visually appealing baked goods I have ever seen, and they taste amazing too. The have a pie that's called "Levee High Apple Pie." I'm not exactly sure how big this thing is, but the dome reminds me of a cowboy hat. I'm not sure if there is ANY reason to make a pie this big, except for the fact that it's really cool! There's nothing wrong with extreme foods as long as they are in moderation. Fried Twinkies shouldn't fall into the category of extreme foods…they should be a staple. So, go ahead and eat as many of those as you want.
The Blue Owl isn't just known for their baked goods, they have a great lunch menu. I always order the same thing, Chicken Salad Croissant with a cup of White Chicken Chili. The chicken salad is really good, but the white chicken chili steals the show. It is full of beans and stringy, monterey jack cheese. Great, now I'm hungry!
I can't remember exactly why or even when I started making this chili. I know that I searched the web for weeks until I found the right recipe. There are lots of imposters out there, so don't be fooled into making those recipes. The one I am posting today is the right one.
I have made this for just about every fall party that I have. I make it for Halloween, my birthday, and for work potlucks. It's a very simple recipe, but do not swap out any of the ingredients, specifically the Monterey Jack cheese. I realize that there are plenty of cheese mixtures available, that contain Monterey Jack, but don't get a mixture. Get the real stuff or the recipe won't be an exact copycat. If you don't care about being exact, then feel free to swap it out for your favorite cheese. If you would like to put this in the crockpot, follow all of the cooking steps, add to crockpot, but DO NOT add the cheese until right before you are ready to serve it because the cheese will stick together and possibly burn. You can also use a rotissere chicken from the grocery store to save time on the preparation.
Enjoy this soup and share it with your family and neighbors, or eat it all by yourself, and then chant the famous "Beans, Beans…" song to embarass your children or your spouse.
Sorry, guys…I don't have any pics of the soup at this time. This was a special request by my friend "N" and I haven't had time to make it and take pictures yet this year.
White Chicken Chili – Blue Owl Restaurant Copycat
Printable Recipe
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion – chopped
5 cloves garlic – minced
2 (4 oz) cans of mild, chopped green chilis

4 cans great northern beans – undrained
5 cups chicken broth/stock
4 cups of chopped chicken
4 cups (2 packages) grated monterey jack cheese
Heat olive oil in stock pot over medium heat. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent. Add garlic and saute until fragrant (do not burn) approx. 1 minute.

In this latest episode of "Dissecting jQuery," we'll peal back the cover of $.grep, and learn exactly what's happening behind the scenes.
jQuery Source for grep
// jQuery source for the grep method grep: function( elems, callback, inv ) { var ret = []; // Go through the array, only saving the items // that pass the validator function for ( var i = 0, length = elems.length; i < length; i++ ) { if ( !inv !== !callback( elems[ i ], i ) ) { ret.push( elems[ i ] ); } } return ret; }
Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of what's happening behind the scenes. Just remember: any time that you need to remove items from an array, $.grep will do the trick quite nicely!

Cody Morris of Mattoon is getting a taste of statewide leadership. He's the state president of FFA. He wants to "work with my team as best we can to bring that family feeling into leadership as best we can," he says. He says FFA is on a similar trajectory to agriculture: "We're building our membership each year; we're on the rise." He is taking a year off from his studies at Lake Land College but expects to pursue a bachelor's degree in an ag-related field eventually.

You don't have to be a farmer to be in FFA, but Morris does raise sheep and cattle.

We've met, we've met, my old true love
We've met, we've met, said he
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
I could have married the King's daughter fair
She would have married me
But I've forsaken her crown of gold
And it's all for the love of thee
Come in, come in, my old true love
Come in, she said to him
For it's been three fourths of a long, long year
Since together we have been
No, I can't come in, nor I can't sit down
For I have but a moment's time
And they say that you're married to a house carpenter
And your heart will never be mine
Will you come with me, my old true love?
Oh come with me, said he
And I'll take you to where the grass grows green
On the banks of Bittery
Then she picked up her sweet little babe
And kisses she gave it three
Sayin', stay at home my darlin' little babe
And keep your papa company
Then he jumped on a milk white steppe
And her on a dapple grey
They rode until they came to the banks of a sea
Three hours before the break of day
They had not been on the ship two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
Until his true love began to weep and to mourn
And she wept most bitterly
Oh, is it for my silver you weep?
Is it for my store?
Or is it for that house carpenter
Whose face you'll never see no more?
It's neither for you silver I weep
And neither for your store
But it's all for the sake of my sweet little babe
Whose face I'll never see no more
Then a curse, a curse to the sailor she cried
A curse, a curse, she swore
You've robbed me of my house carpenter
Whose face I'll never see no more
They had not been on the ship three weeks
I'm sure it was not four
Till they sprang a leak in the bottom of the ship
And it sunk for to rise no more

- Milan Turkovic (Bassoon)
Notes & Reviews:
Meeelaan, a work for bassoon and string quartet, gets its name from Milan (Turkovic), the bassoonist who commissioned the work. Turkovic and Marsalis had collaborated during a tour of the US during the spring of 1998 where their ensemble performed A Fiddler's Tale by Marsalis. This led to Turkovic requesting that Marsalis write a work. The quintet has been performed around the world and is full of alterations gradually inserted by the composer.

Age Less Medi-SpasRead MoreAt Age Less Medi-Spas, certified technicians draw from an armoury of diode lasers, Diathermie RF, and Nd:YAG systems in themed private treatment rooms featuring down-lined beds. Led by Director of Clinical Esthetics and Integrative Medicine Marilia Silva-Brand, skin therapists examine visages. Patrons emerge from their sessions looking excitedly into mirrors to inspect slowly dissipating bald patches after laser hair restoration, newly developed bald patches after laser hair removal, or waistlines shrinking from body-sculpting laser treatments. The spa provides ample free parking for cars, and sunsets on demand for horses to ride off into.4500 W Saanich Rd.Victoria, BC CA
Age Less Laser CentresRead MoreLike magicians, the team at Age Less Laser Centre can make hair disappear in some places and regrow in others. But they're not relying on magic; the clinicians are just really good at calibrating their lasers to help clients achieve a range of beauty goals. Using pulses of focused light during photofacials, the team can erase broken capillaries, age spots and blemishes from virtually all kinds of skin. In addition to using lasers, the team also tailors facial treatments to help dry up excess oil, smooth wrinkles or quench dry skin.#200-4500 West Saanich Rd.Victoria, BC CA
Lauren at Identity SalonRead MoreAlthough many people choose to share their interests in a casual setting, stylist Lauren Coyle shares hers professionally. At Identity Salon, she specializes in reshaping clients' hair with custom cuts and blowouts, or giving strands a sun-kissed sheen with coloring and foil highlights. And yet Lauren doesn't just transform existing hair—she also applies Hotheads hair extensions, which are made from real human hair.9300 271st StStanwood, WA US
Body Glo TanRead MoreSunseekers who visit Body Glo Tan will discover two ways to give their skin that fresh-from-the-beach look. Three different styles of UV beds and booths not only trick the skin into thinking it's succumbed to the ministrations of the sun, but they also keep the body comfortable with ventilation and cooling systems. Alternatively, the misters in the Australian Gold spray tanning system are guided by lasers for extra precision, coating skin with a bronze-coloured sheen in under three minutes. This drip-free solution creates tans that last up to 10 days, though it may feel like 30 days if your parents are in town visiting. Once guests arrive, they step across sleek, dark-wood floors before checking in at a granite-topped desk. Staff members keep up-to-date by attending seminars and other forms of continuing education so they can match their clients up with the best tanning options available.8120 No 2 Road Unit 172Richmond, BC CA
Evergreen Skin Care & Salt TherapyRead MoreAt Evergreen Skin Care & Salt Therapy, everyday elements such as sodium and oxygen become powerful instruments of rejuvenation. Visitors can step into a specialized salt room for 45-minute sessions, where a generator reproduces the atmosphere of a salt cave. The microscopic particles in the air help to clear the nasal and bronchial passages for easier breathing, even working to offset allergy and cold symptoms. At the same time, they combat skin concerns such as psoriasis and eczema. The staff also administers skincare services. Treatments range from microdermabrasion to oxygen facials and blemish-removal treatments. Clients can complement a newly refreshed complexion with one of many alternative-wellness therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, reflexology, or a warm bask beneath far-infrared lights.4800 No. 3 RoadRichmond, BC CA
Merle Norman Cosmetics and Spa VancouverRead MoreAt Merle Norman, the pampering begins even before the treatments do. The moment clients walk in, they're charmed by the music and soothing fragrances that pervade the spa. That's the first chance clients get to consider their many spa treatment options, such as manicures, facials, waxing, IPL facials, and laser hair removal. Airbrush makeup is also available, as are makeup lessons that impart the secret techniques of makeup artists. Whole-body treatments, such as tanning, leave bodies with an all-over glow that's far more cost-effective than hiring a spotlight operator to follow you around all day.1711 152 StSurrey, BC CA
