ARLINGTON—Whether Jagee Melton leads worship for hundreds of children during a week at summer camp or provides music for a women's luncheon, her goal remains the same—to connect all ages to biblical truths through songs.
Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, where her husband serves as the children's minister.Melton is a member of
Throughout the year, she leads worship at a variety of events, such as church camps, Vacation Bible School, outreach activities, women's conferences, Mothers of Preschoolers groups, retreats and mother/daughter events.
In addition to leading worship, Melton has created events for young girls and teens focusing on modesty, relationships and "guarding their hearts."
"I'm very diverse in the way that I'm able to minister to people," she said. "A lot of times, people see that I do children's events and don't think that I can come and minister to the women of their church or vice-versa. They think, 'Oh, she does women's events, so she can't put on neon shoes and have fun with the kids.' During this season of my life, I am very fortunate that God has allowed me opportunities to minister to both groups. It's my passion to sing and share God's truths in a way that will lead people closer to Jesus."
Leading worship at children's camps
This summer, Melton is leading worship for children's camps around the state, including Mount Lebanon Baptist Encampment in Cedar Hill, Latham Springs Baptist Encampment in Aquilla and Circle Six Ranch Baptist Camp at Stanton.
Following the events, Melton enjoys interacting with audiences and hearing stories about how lives are being influenced for God's glory.
"The sweetest parts of these events happen in the quiet moments afterwards, when people share their stories and ask you to pray with them," she noted. "It's always a meaningful time when little girls in the third or fourth grade come up and ask, 'How do I know when I'm hearing God's voice?' or they will say, 'I think God is calling me into ministry.'
"It's those special moments that make my job really great. It means so much that they took the time to come up and share their heart. A lot of times, people will share about dealing with the loss of a family member. It is so meaningful when people share what their family is going through, because I can relate to so much of it."
Melton began to use music as an outlet to express her feelings and emotions following the deaths of her father and brother.
"Within a period of three years, my family really went through a valley," Melton said. "My father was killed in a car wreck, and then three years later, my brother also died in a wreck. During this time, I really went through a season of difficulty and depression.
Beginning a music ministry
"As my husband was trying to encourage and pray for me, he asked what I would like to be involved in and what I was passionate about. I told him about my desire to sing and minister to women. We began reading Scriptures together, praying about it and brainstorming different ideas. A month later, someone left a donation at the church for me to begin a music ministry, which was so surprising because we were still in the initial phases and just brainstorming ideas.
"About that time, my husband was scheduled to attend a children's conference in Florida, and I was able to attend with him. It was at this conference that I was introduced to Charlie Bancroft, a children's worship leader whose stage name was Uncle Charlie. The girl who had traveled with him for years was retiring to go on and do other things in life. When Charlie asked if I would be interested in doing children's events and camps with him, I remember thinking that God was leading me to pursue women's ministry and I had my hands full raising four boys."
Importance of reaching all ages
However, as God continued working in Melton's life and opening doors to lead worship, she realized the importance of reaching out to all ages.
"Within a year's time, my perspective began to change as the Lord reminded me about the importance of being willing to minister to any age group," Melton said. "Sure enough, I started performing children's events with Charlie and had so much fun. It's funny how I had forgotten the little girl in me until I got on stage and it was time to sing songs like, 'I Like Bananas' and 'Making Melodies.' It was like God revived this little kid in me, who still wanted to play and have fun. At the same time, these wonderful opportunities were placed before us to teach kids about God's love and faithfulness through these songs.
"When I found myself ministering to children, it made me reflect on many of the verses that I learned growing up and helped me to realize that there will come a time when God will use these verses and special moments for these children to reflect on throughout their lives.
"Through these opportunities, I began to realize the Lord would equip me for whatever situation that he placed before me. I recognized that my responsibility was to be available and ready to go, wherever the doors open and the Lord leads—regardless of whether the audience is 8 years old or 80 years old."

Q: I'm putting away my wool sweaters for the summer. What can I use, other than moth balls, to moth proof them? A few years ago I had an infestation even with our wool items stored in a cedar closet.
Cleaning your items before seasonal storage provides some protection. Female clothes moths lay eggs and the larvae do the damage. They feed on wool, feathers, fur, hair, leather, lint, dust, paper and occasionally cotton, linen, silk and synthetic fibers. The most damage usually occurs to items left undisturbed for a long time, especially clothes that are stained. Clothes moths like dark, undisturbed places, like closets. So, sunning and brushing will help remove moth larvae. Keeping the relative humidity down will help, too.
As I mentioned in an earlier article, Extension Entomologists report that carpet beetles cause similar damage and are more common in our area than clothes moths. Unlike the clothes moth, carpet beetles are not as choosy about location. An infestation can occur just about anywhere.
Preventing a problem and treating an infestation are similar regardless whether it's a clothes moth or carpet beetle. Wash or dry clean clothes, linens, and blankets before storing. Vacuum thoroughly and often, especially in crevices, around and under baseboards, under furniture, etc. Discard the bag outside.
Ironing items as well as freezing will also destroy the insects. To freeze, put the item in a sealable plastic bag, press the air out (to prevent condensation), and place in the freezer at 0 degrees or below for 3-4 days. Some sources suggest doing this twice and allowing the garment to air between. Should condensation occur, allow the item to dry thoroughly before storing.
Mothproofing can be done by a dry-cleaner, but it is not permanent. Moth balls are a repellent but would be most effective in an enclosed container. Some old homemade remedies include making sachets of lavender and a few other botanicals. The sachets are placed in closets or drawers where wool items are kept. As far as I can tell, there's no hard proof that it is effective, but people have been using these for generations.

If you like Word Search but want to try new ways of playing, you should try Yim Word Search. Yim Word Search is a fun game application that provides new twists to the game. You have the classic mode (free) with the clone feature, in which you have to find the same word more than once.
There are other modes like Order, where you need to find only what is shown, Memory where you need to remember the words you've already selected in order not to repeat and finally Move, where the grid rotates when a word is found. These options are interesting but are locked and it's never shown how to unlock them. You probably need to play several times the free version in order to do it.
What it's good about this game is that the design is really original and follows the Word Search style, it's engaging and creative. HAQMEDIA is the developer of this new Word Search game for everyone that you might like if you enjoy challenges and exercising your mind.

MONDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) -- Obese adolescents have a very high prevalence of low vitamin D status, according to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health.
Zeev Harel, M.D., from the Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, R.I., and colleagues examined the prevalence of low vitamin D status in 68 obese adolescents and the impact of management of low vitamin D status. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) of less than 20 ng/mL, and insufficiency was defined as 25(OH)D of 20 to 30 ng/mL. Participants with vitamin D deficiency were given 50,000 IU vitamin D once a week for six to eight weeks, and those with vitamin D insufficiency were treated with 800 IU vitamin D daily for three months.
The investigators found that 100 percent of female participants and 91 percent of males had low vitamin D status. There were seasonal variations in the 25(OH)D levels, which were significantly higher in the summer than spring, and significantly lower in the winter than fall. Following an initial course of treatment with vitamin D, there was a significant increase in the mean 25(OH)D, but the levels normalized in only 28 percent of participants. The vitamin D status of the remaining 72 percent of the participants did not improve following repeat courses with the same dosage of vitamin D.
"The present study reports high prevalence of low vitamin D status among obese adolescents, and calls for increased surveillance of obese adolescents whose blood total 25(OH)D levels do not normalize after initial course of treatment," the authors write.

My Hifi system is rather old but good enough for me (Luxman M-02, Luxman CL-350, Celestion Ditton 66 Studio Monitor, Kenwood DP-990SG, Sennheiser HD 595, and other stuff more simple).
Very much of my music is encoded (lossless, lossy, ...) I am trying to find the best way to deliver good signal to my analog system.
I will be back after some reading through the forums.

This month, we are featuring a few things that have been found at the local automotive swap meets. These are parts that didn't seem to be that hard to find at the time they were purchased, but are now invaluable to builders because they have become increasingly scarce over time. Some of these parts have become just as hard to find, and just as sought after as the original factory accessories!
Some of the accessories that we are featuring in Deluxe are what we call "Era-correct options." These are parts that were purchased through mail order catalogs and stores, such as JC Whitney and Sears. Even though the automotive manufacturers did not sell these parts, they were created and made available for those specific vehicles through special side vendors. These vendors would actually set up contracts through the manufacturers, in order to create products that they could make available through their mail order catalogs.
In 1888, Richard Sears first used a printed mailer to advertise watches and jewelry. This mailer would eventually evolve and become the Sears catalog. Mail order has been around for over 100 years, and to this day, we still use them to purchase parts for our customs. In 1943, the Sears News Graphic wrote that the Sears catalog, "serves as a mirror of our times, recording for future historians today's desires, habits, customs, and mode of living." That reflection of the times seen in the mail order catalog was as strong of a societal diary as our web shopping is today.
It's safe to say that no one could have predicted the longevity of these items. Who could have possibly had the foresight to know that the parts that Sears sold would still be sought today, some 100 years later? Some of these parts can still be found in new or in decent condition, much like the ones that we are featuring today in our Lowrider Deluxe section.
The saying "one man's trash becomes another man's treasure" couldn't be more true than in the world of automobile restoration. If you have some vintage accessories and artifacts that you want to share with the public, drop us an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
'64 Impala Rear Bumper Guards
These guards start off at $180 for a reproduction set. On occasion, you can find NOS ones like this set for about the same price, but don't be surprised to pay $400 for a NOS set.
'58 Impala Headlight Fender Visors
These were era-correct options that were made for specific vehicles. These items were not dealer options, but they were made available through vendors like JC Whitney or the Sears catalog. I have only seen two sets of these fender light visors, and could not even imagine what these cost. This set that we are featuring today cost the owner $400 back when he found them, and these were bought before the car was even purchased.
'63 Impala Gas Door Guard
These guards where made to keep the gas pump nozzle from scratching the paint. This option is being reproduced and is not as pricy as this NOS version, which can bring in $100 and over when they are found.
63-64 Impala Fox Craft Fender Skirts
These fit the best on the quarter panel. These NOS skirts have been priced from $250, and are still easily found on the internet or at local automotive swap meets.
'59 NOS Speed Minder
If you can find it in this condition, you might be paying close to $4,000. The purpose of this accessory was to keep you from speeding by setting up a certain max speed that was pre-dialed. You would set the dial at a certain speed, and if you went over it, the dial would start beeping until you lowered the speed. It could be mentioned in the same breath as the newer fuel governors found in modern cars.
Fox Craft Cruising Skirts
These skirts always dress up the body-lines. Just when you thought you got off easy by spending $3,000 on a clean set of skirts, the reality should be hitting you that all the accessories that you see on them skirts are all sold separately, and you'll probably spend an additional $500 for both skirts. These accessories are usually the sergeant stripes, dummy ports, and the Buick stars.

Ubuntu 13.04
Sure, you can use many ways to give Gnome Shell 3.7.5 (currently) a test drive, but in my personal opinion Ubuntu is the easiest, safest and fastest way to do it, accepting the drawbacks that come from the absence of systemd etc. And since we have decided to do some unstable software testing, why not do it on the unstable basis of the upcoming 13.04 release of the most popular Linux distribution in the world?
A ringtailed lemur eating a cookie containing the milk of a spherical cow
So, first thing you need to do is download the current Ubuntu 13.04 image and install it in your system. Note that the distribution is not anywhere near ready yet and you may encounter installation or other kind of problems, depending on your hardware and luck. You should install 13.04 on a virtual machine, or a small partition used for testing purposes and NOT for real work.
After you have successfully installed your new system, you will boot on a Unity environment :( You can install Gnome Shell right away from the distribution's software center but the version will still be the 3.6 and will stay like that forever for this release (no GS 3.8 for 13.04).
The way repositories are added and used on Ubuntu, is the main reason why I believe this distribution is the easiest and fastest way to give GS 3.8 a try. You basically need to add two more repos, or three if you are adventurous!
The first repository is the Gnome 3 Team repo that contains all things missing from Ubuntu's default repositories. You should add this one before the other two and run the usual update on your system. You can do this by typing the following commands on a terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt-get upgrade
Then you need to add the Ricotz testing repository that contains cutting edge git versions for the shell, gtk, glib, clutter and many Gnome applications and utilities.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing sudo apt-get upgrade
If you want to get some more latest Gnome components and risk the stability of the system even further, then you can use the Ricotz staging repository that can be correctly used only if you added the previous two.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/staging sudo apt-get upgrade
After upgrading, you will have the latest available Gnome Shell version with many applications and utilities of the corresponding version. Note that some will still stay in 3.6.x version at least for now.
I have such a system installed for almost a month and tested it under various situations for a broad spectrum of tasks and I can tell you it feels much faster compared to Gnome 3.6 on Ubuntu 12.10. The animations seem to work better, the responsiveness is much better and in general it does feel a lot more stable than it was a month ago, but you should expect small issues here and there.
You cannot use any of the extensions, GTK or GS themes that you are using on Gnome 3.6 due to the usual incompatibility, but you could and should test your porting if you are a creator, to be one of the first to offer extending content for the 3.8 version. Whatever the case, you should go for it and tell us how it all went!

Tortured In America

Best wishes for Ron; your experience of torture
Hello. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that Ron [Branson] himself had a personal experience of torture at the hands of the American police authorities. ....
Obviously, Ron's experience shows that such threats are grounded in reality. And now people are dying from torture at the hands of the American police.
Ron Branson is a true American hero of our time.
I wish the big deep pockets who are funding various other kinds of partisan and tame political advocacy organizations, would instead be giving national funding and prominence to JAIL4Judges.
This non-partisan idea is so simple and sound, most every American would be in favor of it if they knew about it. Just about everybody, indeed, except the judges and lawyers, and those who think they benefit from legal corruption.
Let's hope that the day of Victory for JAIL4Judges is not far away!

For Ron and Barbie, a note on Jail 4 Judges; King Alfred and unjust judges
Hello Ron and Barbie. I have added a link to my blog below on JAIL4Judges.
And when I give interviews on my book that is coming out on federal court fraud and extortion, I look forward to citing JAIL4Judges as a beautifully simple and powerful idea of reform, an idea that would transform America.
As you know, I was forced to leave the United States, after a federal judge staged a fake legal proceeding to ban my freedom of speech, with the judge even installing two of his buddies to falsely pose as "my lawyers".
They banned my freedom of speech, and threatened to illegally jail and murder me, in part to try and keep me quiet about judicial and legal corruption. I had to escape the USA just to be able to speak out and stay alive.
So I can't be with you there in America until things change. But I will try to help the Americans I left behind, and JAIL4Judges is one of the most important things that can change America for the better.
Maybe one day, not too far away, there will all of a sudden be a great breakthrough. Maybe a new morning will dawn, and even politicians will suddenly start pretending, that they were supporting JAIL4Judges all along. ....
Those who can bring justice to judges, might indeed become the names of legend.
Best wishes,
Dr Les Sachs
Ron Branson Responds:
By the Grace of the God of Heaven, and to His Glory, we shall one day conquer America through JAIL4Judges!

It sounds like an oxymoron, but Gas Liquids is a valuable component derived from the production of natural gas. Increasing demand for gas liquids is moving a select group of MLPs -- the "Midstream"-- to higher valuations and more secure current yield prospects.
The first indicator that natural gas liquids were going to drive increased profitability for mid stream MLPs began to appear last spring. In an April 18th 2011 interview, Ethan Bellamy of Robert W. Baird & Company saw the evidence show up on his radar:
We're seeing pretty elevated levels of effective rig utilization. Now most of that is being steered toward liquid plays, oil and natural gas liquids, but most areas that you drill for liquids you are also going to get gas as a by-product... In many places operators could sell the natural gas for zero and still have very positive returns on just selling the liquids that they produce.
These greater volumes of natural gas liquids moved into the supply chain, pushing the demand for mid-stream processing and transportation by steadily increasing volumes. The value of MLPs that control these assets began to grow.
By January 23rd of this new year, 26-year investing veteran Jerry Swank of Swank Capital stated that for
...18 months now we have wanted to be involved in the midstream companies, the pipelines, the companies with pipelines and terminals and storage facilities that are engaged primarily in the oil business, not the natural gas business, and also in the natural gas liquids business.
Mr. Swank pointed out that
...the oil and natural gas liquids are growing dramatically in United States, and we don't have enough infrastructure in the correct places.
Swank goes on to identify the three best MLP plays that will benefit:
The holy trinity of the natural gas - of the liquids business, we call it - and that's Enterprise Products (NYSE:EPD); ONEOK, and there are two companies, OKE (NYSE:OKE), and OKS (OKS) ; and then Targa; and again, there are two entities there, one is Targa Resources Partners (NYSE:NGLS) and the other is Targa Resources (NYSE:TRGP).
|Enterprise Products Partners
|$57 bln.
|ONEOK Partners
|$11.4 bln.
|$8.6 bln.
|Regency Energy Partners
|$4.1 bln.
|Targa Resources Partners
|$3.3 bln.
|Targa Resources
|$1.8 bln.
Since the MLP corporate structure requires that 90% of all cash flow pays out in current income on the security, the research experts that specialize in these publicly traded vehicles are by definition conservative cash flow investors.
Brian Watson of SteelPath Fund Advisors is looking to hedge downside commodity pricing risk so that an economic downturn doesn't tank his returns. In a recent interview he detailed his specific downside metric:
Right now, our bear case is $60 oil for two years with a very weak ratio of natural gas liquids to oil. That is obviously not many people's expectations.
One of the biggest investments in that fund is Regency Energy Partners (NYSE:RGP), an MLP which is aggressively moving into the natural gas liquids space:
They are spending a pretty good amount of money right now on a natural gas liquids private company, and they are expanding natural gas liquid services to West Texas.
Clearly some of the smartest money in Oil & Gas MLPs has been zeroing in on the midstream Gas Liquids partnerships. As the demand for domestically produced energy increases over the long term, this will in turn drive a long term valuation chain. The effects can now be seen in increasing opportunities for investors.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

James, West, Stephenson Fined for Flopping
ABC Digital
National Sports
Updated at
Each of the players was fined $5,000 for the violation.
"We accept it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "We don't want the attention and the focus to be on the officiating. We want it to be on the competition, which is a great series."
West and James were both fined for a play that occurred in the fourth quarter. West was wrestling for position when both simultaneously broke apart and spun like ballerinas, with James falling to the ground.
"I was trying to post up and he was trying to draw a foul," West said when describing the play. "It was a high contact play and the refs let the play go on. Maybe it was some gamesmanship."
Stephenson was fined for flopping on a play involving Ray Allen in the first quarter.

Holly Montag And Justin "Bobby" Brescia Dating?
This is whack.
Us Magazine reports that Holly Montag, 27, is dating Audrina Patridge's ex-boyfriend, Justin "Bobby" Brescia, 29. Ummmmm. While Audy P is off saving her sinking ship on VH1, Montag and Brescia have been dating for awhile, confirms a source.
PHOTOS: A Vapid Gathering Of The Hills
But another insider tells Us that it probably won't work out (shocker. SHOCKER). "He's reckless and will disappear in his house for days at a time," claims the source. "He's not reliable." Even Kristin Cavallari couldn't tame a cray cray Brescia, who was always talking nonsense and riding off in his motorcycle.
What do you think of this new couple?

A recent case looked at how employers should deal with allegations of misconduct that could affect an employee's future career and when it is appropriate to suspend an employee, or involve the police. Although the case arose in the health sector the issues could easily occur in the school environment.
Following a complaint about the handling of a patient, two nurses with unblemished disciplinary records were suspended and the police were notified of a potential criminal assault. There was an investigation leading to disciplinary proceedings, and the whole process took some 6 months before the nurses were dismissed. The nurses brought proceedings against the employer and successfully claimed unfair dismissal on the basis that there had been failures in the disciplinary process.
The outline of events was as follows. The initial patient incident was reported to the ward manager after 3 days, the two nurses were interviewed by the employer the next day and immediately suspended for allegedly assaulting the patient. The employer then determined that the police should investigate and put its own investigation on hold. A month later the police informed the employer that no further action would be taken. The employer then recommenced its own investigations, which lasted several months. The two nurses were dismissed and lost an internal appeal.
The nurses pursued claims in the Employment Tribunal. The employer appealed to the Court of Appeal and lost.
In handing down its decision the Court of Appeal noted that dismissal would have effectively ended the careers of the two nurses and highlighted two procedural defects which had made the dismissals unfair:
- the employer had failed to obtain a copy of the statement of the manager who had reported the incident, which differed from the evidence she gave at the disciplinary hearing; and
- in the absence of the two nurses, the employer had carried out an experiment to test whether the patient could have become accidentally restrained by a sheet (which was the essence of the alleged assault): the Court found that this was an unfair procedure because the two nurses could easily have been present to demonstrate whether the patient would have been accidentally restrained.
The Court also said that the threat of possible criminal proceedings was a very heavy burden for the nurses to have faced and in this case the police should not have been involved.
What does this mean for schools?
The case highlights that where a misconduct dismissal is likely to result in the loss of an individual's career in their chosen profession, the investigation, the disciplinary process and the internal appeal must all be particularly fair and thorough, and the evidence of misconduct must be clear and cogent.
Here are some practical points to consider when thinking about suspension:
- Suspension will not automatically be justified even where there is evidence warranting an investigation or if there is a contractual right to suspend. In many cases where disciplinary investigations are to take place in relation to allegations of gross misconduct, the automatic response of the employer is to suspend the employee. It was stressed in this case that suspension must not be a knee jerk reaction, and that it will be a breach of the employer's duty of trust and confidence towards the employee if it is.
- The following factors particularly should be taken into account when considering whether to suspend:
- whether the employee poses a risk to pupils, employees, school property or third parties if allowed to remain at work: for example, is there a risk of harm to a child or of violence?
- whether investigations into the allegations would be hampered if the employee remained at work: for example, might evidence be tampered with or destroyed, or witnesses pressurised?
- what impact the suspension would have on the employee and his or her reputation.
- Suspension should not be treated as a form of punishment for the employee, but as a means of carrying out an investigation unhindered: particular care is needed where it may have the effect that the employee will feel belittled, or demoralised by the exclusion from work and work colleagues.
- Suspension appears to add credence to allegations: even if the employee is cleared, suspicions are likely to linger.
- Suspension should be for the minimum period necessary. It should be kept under regular review and the employee kept up to date with regards to the progress of the disciplinary investigation.
- Misconduct should not be referred to the police without the most careful consideration and a genuine and reasonable belief that the allegation, if established, could properly be regarded as criminal. It is important to consider the strength of the allegations and the nature of the alleged offence as well as concerns for others in the workplace and pupils.
- Employers will be expected to pay close attention to the unblemished disciplinary record of the staff involved when assessing the future risk of a repeat of the behaviour concerned.
- Employers should consider that a dismissal in some circumstances may be a career changing decision in that a reference to The Teaching Agency (applicable from April 2012) and/ or the Independent Safeguarding Authority can involve that teacher being unable to gain other employment within the profession.
And finally ...
As from 1 April 2012, The Teaching Agency took over responsibility for the regulation of the teaching profession. The Teaching Agency has the power to bar teachers from teaching in cases of serious professional misconduct and now regulates all teachers and instructors including those in independent schools. For further information, please go to http://www.education.gov.uk/aboutdfe/armslengthbodies/b0077806/the-teaching-agency.

I'm well familiar with the concepts of barrel harmonics, and precession and their effects on short and long-range accuracy.
There's another, somewhat more practics, way of examining the abilities of the 1903 vs. the Lee Enfield at long-range...
The results of the various Palma and other matches held between the United States and Commonwealth countries in the first half of the 20th century.
The United States won 6 of the 7 Palma matches held when the US teams were shooting 1903s vs Lee Enfields.
Generally, other international long-range matches also saw US shooters holding a significant competitive edge over their Commonwealth opponents.
Additionally, that article is from 1901.
Kind of hard to say that the Lee Enfield is categorically more accurate than the M1917 or the M1903 at long range when: A) those rifles hadn't even been designed/adopted when that article was written, nor had "modern" bullets been developed for either rifle.

Peermede has a soothing climate throughout the year. Travelers can opt to spend their summers in this hilly terrain. Another great time to visit Peermede is soon after the monsoons when the surroundings are fresh with greenery. The months of June and July, when monsoon hits Peermede with heavy showers, should be preferably avoided.
The season of summer begins in Peermede from the month of March and is continued till the last quarter of May. The maximum temperature during this season is 29°C, and the minimum temperature is around 22°C. Peermede does not experience intense summers it being a hilly region. A trip to Peermede during summer will rejuvenate those who want to get away from the burning heat of cities.
Monsoons in Peermede are characterised by intense rains and strong winds. Monsoon starts in June and is generously extended till September. Though the sight of the hills getting drenched in showers is charming, the season is not recommended for a visit. Heavy and incessant showers will hinder outdoor activities like trekking and cycling.
Winter arrives in Peermede by November, and it hits the region hard. Winter is characterised by mildly chilly days and extremely chill nights. The temperatures during this season range from 18°C to 12°C. Travelers who visit Peermede during winter are advised to carry winter clothes and pullovers.

text: Can anyone point me to an article about how Samsung does its battery indication? I have searched Google but found nothing helpful. The specific question is that I have bought a high capacity aftermarket battery, and the results are fantastic, but the battery comes with an instruction to run it right down several times. Last night (after two days of solid use!) it got down to 23%, so I put the screen to maximum, switched on the torch, and ran several intensive apps (like satnav). I got it down to 1% after a considerable time (maybe 3 hours) but it then stuck at 1% for another 2 hours. Presumably it was calibrating itself. I eventually gave up, put it on charge and went to bed. So have I now knackered the chances of ever having an accurate battery indication, or is the situation recoverable? Also what happens if I now put the ordinary battery (which I keep in my pocket as an emergency backup) back in? As I say, no need for a full answer if you can point me to an article. Thank you!

My daughter is 15 and has been very insecure about her labia minora for around three years. It causes her discomfort both physically and mentally. She has thought very hard over the past three years whether she wants surgery or not and she has decided she would want it soon. She is very mature and understands what she is doing. Will she have to wait another year or is there any way she can have labia surgery at 15?
Can You Get a Labiaplasty at 15 Years Old?

There is no definitive age that qualifies a person to have a labioplasty.
Labiaplasty and teenagers
It is important to support your teenager with positive reinforcement during their developmental years as it is common to feel a myriad of insecurities and inadequacies. Most of these feelings will pass as the child further matures and you must be careful to avoid "treating" these natural feelings with Plastic Surgery. It is beneficial for her to undergo gynecologic evaluation so that she can be reassured of her normal anatomy. If she truely has a deformity and experiences significant discomfort in daily activities, then surgery may be a valid option when she is mature and able to understand the risks and benefits. Psychological evaluation and counseling may further allow proper assessment of her situation and shed light on possible triggers for her feelings.

Age 15 is probably too young to do a labiaplasty, in my opinion, unless she has a significant deformity.
Labia Minora Reduction for 15 Year Old?
Thank you for the question.
Based on the description of your daughter's concerns and maturity level, she may be a good candidate for the labia minora reduction surgery at this time. Of course, this will depend on her physical examination and careful assessment by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons. This assessment will include her history, physical examination, motivation, maturity level, and understanding of the procedure as well as the risks/complications associated with the procedure.
I'm sure she is very grateful that you have an understanding of her concerns...
Best wishes.

Labiaplasty for 15 year old
I have performed the operation on patients that young. The labia are adult size by that time and if the parents are fully involved with the informed consent process then I believe it is reasonable to proceed. Even though a 15 year old is not an adult, she is mature enough to understand the risks and benefits of surgery and make the appropriate choice with parental guidance. This is a similar story to males with gynecomastia. If the deformity is embarrassing and affects the child's self esteem, then it is reasonable to proceed. The surgery is very well tolerated if done by an experienced surgeon and has a high success rate.
All my best,

Teenage Labiaplasty
Any plastic surgery for an adolescent must be considered weighing the problem to be addressed and the physical and psychological maturity of the teenager. Many young women suffer from physical impairment and are unable to participate in certain sports and activities because of overly enlarged labia. The impact on self-esteem must also be considered in respect to the degree of deformity. A consultation and examination by a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in labiaplasty is essential to determine if surgery is indicated and when would be the best time to perform it.

Labiaplasty as an Teenager?
Indeed with a relatively mature teenager and parental consent it is reasonable to consider and undergo Labiaplasty surgery. Many times with these two ingredients I have performed labiaplasty for patients as young as 15 -17 years old. When done properly, these are very satisfying success stories for not only the surgeon but especially the patient who has agonized over the excessive growth of her labia minora.
Labiaplasty, which most commonly involves surgical reduction of the labia minora (inner/thinner lips), has become a relatively common procedure over the last ten and even more so last five years. Whether the surgery is done using a laser, scalpel, or scissors does not really matter but what does matter is "symmetry". Symmetry is the most important aspect to the final aesthetic result. Also, it's not how much tissue is removed but how much is left remaining because a certain amount is necessary to maintain proper form and function. To achieve these two most important elements, it is extremely important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this operation (does at least 1 - 2 per week). It may cost you a bit more but it this type of result you will want to live with for the rest of your life. Typical (all inclusive) fee at my office/surgery center is $4500.
Now for recovery, because the labia tissue is so robust with blood supply it has an amazing ability to heal relatively quickly. Most patients are sore for 4-5 days before things start to get a lot better from there. Some patients can resume work before this time depending upon their occupation. No exercise for two weeks, no baths/jacuzzi or swimming for 3 weeks, and no sexual activity for typically 4 weeks. My patients are given an oral pain medication such as Vicodin but icing the area for the first 48 hours and applying some custom made take-home topical local anesthetic cream seems to work the best.

Jay Stone, firstname.lastname@example.com
MACON, Ga. – While the average cost of a traditional Thanksgiving meal rose by 56 cents, the price of feeding a gathering of 10 is still less than it was in 2008, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table.
The average price tag for a holiday meal for 10 with all the trimmings rang up at $43.47, up from $42.91 in 2009 but down by $1.14 from the 2008 average. The rise was in spite of a significantly lower average price for the centerpiece 16-pound turkey, which was down by 99 cents.
"Turkey prices are down some this year despite the fact that, according to United States Agriculture Department estimates, turkey production has been slightly lower in 2010 than in 2009 and supplies of turkey in cold storage are below last year's level," said American Farm Bureau Federation Economist John Anderson, who said this indicates retailers are being aggressive in featuring turkeys in special sales and promotions.
"Overall, the change in the price of this year's Thanksgiving dinner is basically in line with the modest changes that we've seen in the overall price level this year. At $4.35 per person, our traditional Thanksgiving feast is still a better deal than most fast-food value meals, plus it's a wholesome, home-cooked meal."
The survey involved shoppers from 34 states (including one from Georgia) collecting price data on turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream and beverages of coffee and milk, all in quantities sufficient to serve a family of 10.
The cost of a 16-pound turkey, at $17.66 or roughly $1.10 per pound, reflects a decrease of 44 cents compared to the prices from the 2009 survey. A 38-cent rise in the price of a gallon of milk and a 72-cent increase for miscellaneous ingredients (coffee, onions, eggs, sugar, flour, evaporated milk and butter) offset the decrease in the price of turkey. The price for a pound of green peas also declined, by an average of 14 cents, while the cost of 12 ounces of fresh cranberries was the same as in 2009.
Farm Bureau enlisted the help of more than 100 volunteer shoppers to compile the survey, which is intended as an informal gauge of price trends around the nation. The survey has been conducted yearly since 1986, and the menu has remained the same to allow for consistent price comparisons. The volunteer shoppers were asked to look for the best prices on the survey items without using coupons or taking advantage of any promotional deals like getting a free turkey for spending at least $50.
Anderson said despite retail price increases during the past year, American consumers have enjoyed relatively stable food costs over the years, particularly when adjusted for inflation.
Founded in 1937, Georgia Farm Bureau is the state's largest general farm organization. Its volunteer members actively participate in local, district and state activities that promote agriculture awareness to their non-farming neighbors. GFB also has 20 commodity advisory committees that give the organization input on issues pertinent to the major commodities grown in Georgia..

What can I do to improve the overall appearance and possible complications?
Avoiding Complications from Breast Reconstruction?
Doctor Answers 5
Top 3 Tips for Avoiding Breast Reconstruction Complications
Here are my top three tips for minimizing complications after a breast reconstruction:
• If you are a smoker, stop smoking. That change is the most significant method for avoiding complications.
• If you are diabetic, maintain close glucose control. Eat a good regular diet, well-balanced with nutrients. In addition, vitamin C has been helpful.
• Preoperatively, we have our patients bathe with a chlorhexidine bath for three days prior to surgery.
Avoiding complications with breast reconstruction
There is no way to completely avoid complications. The most important thing to do is to remain healthy, eat right, stay within a normal weight range, and avoid smoking to name a few.

Avoiding complications from breast reconstruction
This is a good question. There are several variables, some that you can control and some you cannot. You do want to be at your optimal condition - healthier patients who are not obese, non-smoker, who is not steroid dependent will do better. It also depends on your cancer treatment and reconstruction choice. Radiation will increase risks of wound healing problems and implant-related complication, so I usually perform autologous (your own tissue) reconstruction on patients who have had radiation. Implant-based reconstruction may have slightly higher wound healing problems and implant-related problems than autologous reconstruction. Also, you should get your reconstruction by board certified plastic surgeon who is very familiar with the type of reconstruction that you want to get. In terms of overall appearance of reconstruction, it will be dependent on your body frame, what kind of "look" that you are going for, and your cancer care. If you are not needing radiation and want "implanted look," then you can go with implant-based reconstruction. When you make your decision on the type of reconstruction, also think about your social needs as autologous reconstruction requires a longer recovery time. You should discuss all your options with your plastic surgeon.

Many issues here
First of all, the one thing that dramatically inceases the complication rate in breast reconstruction is something you have no control over - namely the history of radiation therapy treatments. Implants and radiation generally don't mix well. Best to use your own tissue in these cases.
Otherwise, the next best thing you can do is go to a surgeon who can offer ALL types of breast reconstruction, from implants and expanders all the way to microsurgical flaps. Only then can all of your options be made available and the best one selected for your situation.
Lastly, be in optimal medical condition, don't smoke, and have realistic expectations.

Minimizing Breast Complications
This is an extremely complex subject and it would be impossible to provide a complete. answer.
Number 1: Avoid smoking if you do.
Number 2: Be conservative in your desred volumes.
Number 3: Seek and experienced surgeon.

This burger was inspired by a Cuban recipe called Boliche (or sometimes called Boliche Relleno), which is a beef roast stuffed with Chorizo and other ingredients.
This recipe was one I found but made into my own. My husband and I have it often instead of sloppy joes and I love it without the bun (low carbs)
This is my twist on the Squeelers, which are served in Texas. I began making these for my family. Now, everyone wants me to make the sqeezals when I grill burgers.
This is a great burger for the true meat lover. Along with grilling these on the barbeque, in bad weather, they can be done in the oven broiler.
My husband and I run a small town diner, and we are located on a busy highway.

I can't believe that is has been eleven weeks since I introduced this series and the hypothesis that you could build an effective, profitable e-commerce site for $6,500.
My premise was (and still is) that you can build such sites with off-the-shelf components and not have to shell out big dollars for development until your sales can fund your growth.
Honestly, after I was well into this series, I thought I might actually miss my mark. But, by my accounting, it turns out we have $2,360 dollars left to spend on promotion more than enough if you know how to spend it. All we need to do is keep these three guiding principles in mind when preparing our promotional plan:
- Standard online advertising (banners, email or sponsorships) is out. It is way too expensive. We want only performance-based advertising (with one exception that I'll talk about in a minute).
- The goals of our promotional efforts are, in order of importance: a sale, a prospect's email address, and a link.
- We need to be sure to measure the results of the efforts in some comparable way. With the limited tracking resources we have available, the metrics are going to be cost per sale and cost per prospect. You want to put more money into the promotional efforts that are yielding the lowest cost per sale and cost per prospect. (Sounds obvious, right? But I guarantee there are guys making six figures in the Internet business who don't follow this simple rule.)
The Tactics
So let's categorize our promotional tactics based on our campaign goals of a sale, a prospect's email address, or a link.
Promotions Aimed at Driving Sales
- Affiliate Program
One of the most cost-effective ways to drive sales is through an affiliate program. Now there are plenty of PERL scripts out there to let you create and manage your own affiliate program, but they won't write the checks or recruit new affiliates which can be huge drains on your resources. You should probably pay to have someone handle it all for you. And that someone should be Commission Junction. Its terms are incredibly favorable. Pay a $795 setup fee and a $250 minimum deposit upfront to fund the commissions, and Commission Junction handles everything for you. The deal can fund itself if you make sure your profit margin can accommodate the commissions you want to pay out.
- Branch Stores
I have to admit, this next idea isn't originally mine. I got it from Danny Sullivan and Eric Ward, two well-known Internet marketers, while chatting with them at a conference in Las Vegas a few months ago. Their idea is basically to take advantage of these turnkey storefront services that sites like Yahoo Store and Amazon.com's ZShops offer small businesses. Open a "branch store" at those locations, and put a selection of your best-selling items in those stores. The major benefits are you get listed in shopping directories and become part of special promotions those sites run, enabling you to leverage the traffic those names generate. With Yahoo Store, the commitment is a minimum of three months at the rate of $100 per month. With Amazon.com's ZShops, it's a combination of a per-item listing fee (10 cents) plus a percentage of sales (5 percent for items up to $25, less as the price of the item goes up).
Promotions Aimed at Getting a Prospect's Email Address
- Email Newsletters
The next best thing to closing a sale is getting a prospect's email address so that you can talk to the prospect later. Building an in-house mailing list is hands down the most cost-effective email marketing you can do. It takes time to build a list, but we have one of 34,000 people on one of our sites, and I can testify regular mailings to it generate the sales. We usually see double the sales on our site after a mailing. And the beauty of it all is frequency with this list is free. But before you do it, spend $24 for "Poor Richard's E-Mail Publishing," the best book in the world on email newsletter publishing. It is written by Chris Pirillo, a true pioneer in that field.
Promotions Aimed at Getting Links to Your Site
Links you pay for…
- bCentral
Spend $500 for a year's membership in bCentral Microsoft's e-commerce/marketing service for small online businesses. You get a host of fairly useful tools, but the big plus is you get 10,000 banner-ad impressions a month on its banner-advertising network (formerly the LinkExchange Network, if any Internet old-timers are out there reading). You can manage a banner campaign by yourself, which is what I really like about the offering. In fact, it is the only affordable banner-campaign solution for small businesses that I have yet found. It could be a whole lot slicker (hint, hint: you other ad networks), but bCentral serves its purpose, and the CPM comes out to just more than $4, which isn't too bad.
- Get a RealName
For $100 you should register with RealNames. The original idea behind RealNames was to enable anyone to enter a company name, instead of the company's URL, into a web browser. The RealNames service would "translate" the company's name into the correct URL, provided the company had registered with RealNames. If the company hadn't yet registered, RealNames provided approximate matches from those companies that had registered. Well, the web-browser idea didn't gain as much traction as RealNames' partnership with AltaVista (and, recently, other search engines). Now when you do a search on AltaVista, matches from RealNames are first. There are ways to exploit this fact that go beyond this article. But for $79 you can read all about it if you become a subscriber to the Search Engine Watch site.
- Pay-For-Placement Search Engine
Spend $100 (4 x $25) to open accounts on four pay-for-placement search engines Goto.com, FindWhat.com, hitsgalore.com, and Kanoodle.com. These sites let you bid on keywords in increments of a penny. If you buy the word "art" for 10 cents, and another company pays 9 cents, you are listed first and they are listed second when someone searches on that term. And you pay the 10 cents only if the person clicks through to your site. Dump the remaining portion of your budget into whichever of the above four search engines worked best for you.
Links for free…
- Registration Campaigns
If you take my advice above and get a subscription to Search Engine Watch, you'll have everything you need to know about the proper way to register with the major search engines and directories. What's left after that is hunting out the industry-specific directories appropriate to whatever your site content is. There are also resource-specific directories places to list audio content, video content, even newsletters! It's not hard to find these places, just time-consuming. Two good places to start are InvisibleWeb and Yahoo's Directory of Web Directories
- Viral Marketing
More "tired" than "wired" at this point, viral marketing is the term for giving your site visitors the tools to tell their friends all about you. A common incarnation is the "Send-This-Page-To-a-Friend" button which allows you to easily notify a friend via email when you come across a page he or she may like. There is a totally free PERL script that will let you do this at: http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml. It is called BirdCast. It even logs each referral so you can measure how often it is used.
So let's total up our out-of-pocket cost:
|Affiliate Program through Commission Junction
|$795 + $250 = $1,045
|Branch Stores at Yahoo and Amazon (50 of your best-selling items)
|Copy of "Poor Richard's E-Mail Publishing"
|Year's Subscription to bCentral
|One RealNames
|Year's Subscription to Search Engine Watch
|Testing on Four Pay-For-Placement Search Engines
|Registration Campaign
|elbow grease
|Viral Marketing
|a little more elbow grease
|Total out-of-pocket cost:
That leaves us a surplus of $207!
Oh my God. An Internet start-up that DIDN'T burn though all its funding before turning a profit? What in the heck is this industry coming to?

Gamesa has signed a deal to supply Iberdrola with turbines for a 202 MW wind project in southern Texas.
Under the agreement, Gamesa will provide 101 of its G97-2.0 MW machines for the Baffin wind farm, marking the company's largest single order for the turbine model. The turbines are scheduled for delivery mid-2014, and the facility is slated for commissioning toward the end of next year.
The Baffin project is still under development, and the decision to proceed is contingent upon local government approval. However, Gamesa says Iberdrola is well positioned to utilize the 202 MW of turbines at other possible U.S. sites.
The Baffin wind project is the last phase of Iberdrola's Penascal complex, which once commissioned, will have a capacity of 606 MW.

Left armpit pain and left side of left breast
I am a mother of four children. I am 39yrs old. I have noticed an aching left armpit on and off for several months associated with left side of left breast tenderness. If my children lie on me. The pain is quite sharp deep up and under the breast. As I am a 16DD size. It is difficult to notice substancil lump changes. Other than that I am very active, healthy but tired. Can you suggest what I should do. There is a two day wait to see a doctor in the region I live. Thank you.
Seeing the doctor and getting a mammogram is the right thing to do at this point. Hopefully, your exam will be normal and the pain is related to other factors.

In the rematch Sunday, the Browns have only one objective.
"We just need to get a win," coach Butch Davis said.
Outscored 114-26 by the Ravens in the four previous games, the Browns took over second place in the AFC Central on Oct. 21 with a stunning 24-14 upset of the defending Super Bowl champions.
Much has changed since that day. The Browns haven't won since, and the Ravens on Sunday will be seeking their fourth straight victory.
The Browns (4-4) already have more wins under first-year coach Davis than they did all last season, but two straight overtime defeats has taken the luster off their impressive start.
Cleveland had a bye after their uplifting initial victory over Baltimore. Upon their return, the Browns yielded two touchdowns in the final 28 seconds of regulation in a loss at Chicago, then blew a 9-0 lead in a 15-12 defeat at home against Pittsburgh.
"They're coming off a little frustration," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "They're at kind of a crossroads, so they're going to come in with that mentality."
In an effort to block out frustration caused by two successive last-second defeats, Davis has tried to stress to his players that they've come a long way from the 2-14 and 3-13 seasons that preceded this one.
"When your children were ages 1, 2 or 3, how many times did your kid fall down learning how to walk? Thousands," Davis said. "If every time you didn't say, 'Oh, what a good job you're doing! Get up, try again, try again,' they'd never learn to walk.
"That's kind of where we are. It's a young football team in its third year. More positive than negatives have occurred over the first eight games of the season."
Despite losses in Cincinnati and Cleveland, Baltimore (6-3) has also put a positive spin on its first nine games. The Ravens were 5-4 at this point last season and ended up winning the Super Bowl.
Unlike Cleveland, Baltimore has found a way to win the close games. After losing to the Browns, the Ravens beat Jacksonville 18-17, then defeated Pittsburgh 13-10 when Steelers kicker Kris Brown missed four of five field goal tries. Last Monday night, Baltimore topped Tennessee 16-10 by stuffing Titans quarterback Steve McNair at the 1 on the final play.
Was it luck, or the product of playoff experience?
"Baltimore just finds a way to win. That's what Super Bowl champs do," Cleveland cornerback Corey Fuller declared.
The facts back up that assessment. Cleveland has been outscored 17-0 in the fourth quarter over the past two weeks. Baltimore has outscored the opposition 24-7 in the fourth quarter during its three-game run.
"They're a great football team, with great players and a great coach. We're coming up right now, starting to get things turned around to where we can compete with those guys," said Browns quarterback Tim Couch, who went 11-for-18 for 149 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens last month.
In that game, the Browns bolted to a 24-6 lead and knocked Ravens quarterback Elvis Grbac out of the game. Afterward, the giddy fans and the upstart Browns celebrated as if it was Cleveland's biggest victory in years _ which, of course, it was.
This time, Baltimore is the team with revenge on its mind.
"Baltimore is going to try to punish us," Fuller said. "They don't feel like they should have lost to the Cleveland Browns."
The Ravens' Shannon Sharpe needs one catch to pass Ozzie Newsome for most career receptions by a tight end. Sharpe figured to get the record last week, but had only two catches.
"I'd like to think I can get one reception in 60 minutes of football," Sharpe said with a grin.
