|FFA was Henry with Al Rubin in 1974. The variation to the left Lichen It A Lot is also very good and almost as hard(10+) and can be easily TR'd from the anchors

|I agree with John; it's not really enduro. The pitch breaks up nicely into three sections with rests between at no-hands stances. There sure is a lot of climbing in those last 15 feet, though. Good (if small feet) and very tricky jams.

|I took Lee's advice and went after this as a first 5.11. I see it as a test of mental endurance - there is certainly is only one 5.11 move on it, and plenty of chances to rest, but once you commit to the route and pull onto the crux you'd better be focused if its near your limit. It eases off a little in the last 15 feet but not as much as you're hoping - definitely a challenge to keep it together and not blow the lead. Highly recommended, very fun, super safe.

A real one move wonder - good choice for a first 11a gear. Much easier than Airation or Ripper
Pretty cool though

This was the first time I climbed a first ascent of a route, with a climbing partner. We saw this great crack that was harder than anything my partner or I could climb ... and we were into aid climbing in those days. I was trying to learn to aid climb so I could climb Yosemite walls ....
Anyway, I'm glad it turned out to be such a good free climb. If I ever return to Cathedral, I'll try to free climb it (with an appropriate rope gun. The days when I was regularly leading 5.11 came and went all too quickly .... )

|Easier than Airation? Hmmm...me thinks not. I have skinny fingers that sink to the hilt into Airation, but on Lichen D. my emaciated digits just rattle around at the crux like bones in a jar.

Oprah Winfrey cancels Rosie O'Donnell talk show, last episode airs on OWN March 30
Let's be honest; we're surprised it lasted this long.
But Rosie O'Donnell's return to talk show life lasted a scant five months, as her The Rosie Show was canceled by Oprah Winfrey's OWN cable channel. Journalists learned this via a press release issued at 8 p.m. EST on a Friday night.
I panned the show when it debuted in October and indications are, it didn't improve much from then. Every so often someone would write a snarky story on how bad the ratings were and just last week, O'Donnell was saying the show would move to New York from Chicago.
Now OWN has pulled the plugin the middle of the night, recording the last episode next Friday, airing it March 30.
See the release below:
Los Angeles – OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today "The Rosie Show," the daily talk show hosted by Emmy Award-winning actress and comedian Rosie O'Donnell, will tape its final show on Tuesday, March 20, and the final episode will air on Friday, March 30 (7-8 p.m. ET/PT).
"I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has been an incredible partner, working to deliver the best possible show every single day," said Oprah Winfrey. "As I have learned in the last 15 months, a new network launch is always a challenge and ratings grow over time as you continue to gather an audience. I'm grateful to Rosie and the dedicated Rosie Show team for giving it their all."
"I loved working with Oprah in the amazing city of Chicago," said Rosie O'Donnell. "I was welcomed with open arms and will never forget the kindness of all I encountered. It was a great year for me - I wish the show was able to attract more viewers - but it did not. So I am headed back to my home in New York - with gratitude. On we go!"
"The Rosie Show" (Monday-Fridays, 7 p.m. ET/PT) debuted on OWN October 10, 2011 and was on the air for five months. "The Rosie Show" is produced by Harpo Studios in association KidRo Productions, Inc. and SantaBu Productions.

I ask this because now that most major retailers are opening between 8 pm and 9 pm on Thanksgiving Day, most people will probably be finished shop 1-2 am on Friday morning. I experienced this last Black Friday at Target when we opened at 12 am Friday morning and the crowds slowed down by 3-4 am. Soon it seems that retailers will just be open all day Thanksgiving.
How I think about retailers opening Thanksgiving is divided. It's cool in one aspect because I know most people who work at these major retailers don't get paid much money and will be getting time and a half pay which will help them out. On the other hand, I think that this is taking away the tradition of spending Thanksgiving with their families. Having to decide if they want to make some much needed money or spend time with their families can be a hard decision.

New Care Management Takes On Complex Cases
Patience is overrated when it comes to controlling health care costs. A new chronic care management program from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia doesn't wait around - it reaches out, finds the people who need help the most and coaches them through a smart care plan.
Employers know that waiting for health problems to happen is more expensive than keeping them from happening in the first place. ComplexCare is designed to do just that, by targeting and supporting members with multiple high-risk health issues - those at highest risk to incur future costs. With personalized goal-setting and motivation, the program's nurse care managers help members make smart decisions and avoid problems.
We get involved
Each member in the program is matched with a trained nurse care manager who, in turn, is backed by a medical director. The experience is personalized and high-touch. Through one-on-one counseling, the nurse helps the member set lifestyle goals and become actively engaged in their own care.
Members receive:
Personalized attention, goal planning, health and lifestyle coaching
Strategies to promote self-management skills and medication adherence
Resources for answering health-related questions concerning specific treatments
Access to other appropriate health management programs
Coordination of care between multiple providers and services
Assistance with making informed decisions about health care issues
The program fits the person
The experience is different for each member. Nurses may use phone calls, e-mail, fax or mail, depending on the severity and risk factors of each situation. The nurse uses collaborative goal planning with the member's health care providers. And when the need comes up, the nurse can also consult with one of our dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, social workers, and medical directors.
It takes some digging
Candidates for the ComplexCare program are found through advanced predictive modeling techniques, using over 500 health risk markers. But we're not patient enough to stop there. We dig further by looking at utilization patterns, pharmacy and lab data, risk assessment results, and referrals from doctors and other health management programs.
So individuals and employers* know we're working to keep their employees healthy.
*Standard offering for fully insured accounts and available as a buy-up option for ASO and minimum premium accounts.

Former SEVENDUST guitarist Clint Lowery is also on board as a touring guitarist. KORN issued "Evolution", the first single from its upcoming eighth album, to radio stations on Thursday (May 17). The track also showed up at the group's MySpace page. The band been saying in recent interviews and online that the album will sound "different" from its previous outings, and guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer gave Launch a preview of what it sounds like. "It sort of kinda took, like, a gothic feel without consciously doing it," he said. "That's kind of the direction that it ended in, and I was happy with it. But as every release, I'm anxious about how it's gonna translate between artist and the fan." KORN has not yet finalized a title for the new album, which will follow up 2005's "See You on the Other Side". Shaffer told MTV.com that the group is thinking of just calling the disc "Korn". The CD is due out on July 31, having been pushed back one week from its original July 24 release date. KORN will co-headline this summer's Family Values Tour with EVANESCENCE. The 30-city trek begins on July 20 in St. Louis.

Chabot was a noble family name in the former province of Poitou. Its genealogy can be traced to the year 1040AD. The family is divided into several branches: the Seigneurs of Brion, the Marquis of Mirebeau and the Seigneurs of Jarnac. Philippe de Chabot (1490-1543), Count of Charny and Buzançois, Seigneur of Brion, and an Admiral of France, he was also a childhood companion of King François I. He was the most notable member of the family line.
Did the humble ancestor Mathurin Chabot have noble roots? Perhaps he did. He was a Poitevin and evidently educated. Since he signed his name with triple initials, at a time when most people could not even write, he may well have been born to the purple.
Nalliers, Mathurin Chabot's small French village, today is a community located on the route from Fontenay-le-Comte to Luçon, canton of L'Hermenault, department of the Vendée, in the former province of Poitou.
At Nalliers there is a limestone quarry, some ruins of the priories of Chevrette and Saint-Martin, a venerable old church from the twelfth century, restored in the seventeenth century, and dedicated to Saint Hilaire (315-367), who was born in Poitiers where he was also a bishop.
Jean Chabot and Jeanne Rode were married at the church of Saint-Hilaire on 23 February 1632. On Wednesday, 18 August 1637, their son Mathurin was baptized in the same church. At the age of 16, Mathurin watched as his father, a bourgeois, was buried in his village cemetery on 6 July 1653. As for his mother, she had been buried in the same cemetery on 16 October 1664, a time when her son, the founder of a large Canadian family, had already left his country.
In 1657, at the age of 20, Mathurin Chabot left his native village. On 10 May 1658, before the opening of navigation, he appeared as a witness at Québec. This evidence was not ever presented by the historian Marcel Trudel.
Who welcomed the newcomer to the colony? Probably Toussaint Toupin, who had settled at Québec on Rue Sault-au-Matelot. He owned a two-story stone house with two heated rooms, cellar and attic. Toupin, a barge master, did coastal trading on the river. He also owned a farm at Château-Richer. Louis Jobidon was his farmer. On 23 October 1660, Mathurin Chabot replaced the latter by signing a 5-year farm lease.
Mathurin Chabot, therefore, settled at Château-Richer on the Beaupré Coast. The wings of his future began to spread out.
Like today, there were at that time waves of immigration. French families were looking to re-establish themselves in the Saint-Lawrence valley. And so it was with the Lehoux clan. Ancestor Jacques Lehoux, in Canada since 1647, had, from his first marriage in France to Marie Meilleur, a daughter named Madeleine, baptized on 16 November 1620 at Saint-Pierre de La Potherie in Perche. She married Robert Mesange, a bourgeois, son of Robert and of Madeleine Jahan. On 4 April 1643, Robert Mesange and Madeleine Lehoux baptized an infant named Marie at the church of Saint-Madeleine de La Ventrouze, in the arrondissement of Mortagne.
Marie Mesange came to Canada to rejoin her grandfather Jacques Lehoux, her step-grandmother Jeanne Jehan and her uncle Jean Lehoux, married to Elisabeth Drugeon since 1659. It seems that it was Jacques Lehoux who welcomed her into his home at Beauport about 1661. Mathurin Chabot met, and fell in love with, this serious 18 year-old girl. They agreed to join their lives together forever. On 3 November 1661, the notary Guillaume Audouart went to Beauport to draw up their marriage contract. On the bride's side were "grandfather" Jacques Lehoux, "grandmother" Jeanne Jahan, uncles Jean Lehoux and Robert Paré married to Françoise Lehoux, the Percheron, Pierre Tremblay, accompanied by his wife Ozanne Achon. Toussaint Toupin and Marguerite Boucher, Jean Cloutier and Julien Forten supported Mathurin. The latter offered a dowry of 400 livres to be taken from his property in this country.
On the following 17 November, the Jesuit Paul Ragueneau married them in the presence of the notary Audouart and Toussaint Toupin. The act was recorded in the registry of Notre-Dame de Québec.
On the same day as the wedding, at Château-Richer, Mathurin borrowed 100 livres from Charles Aubert, Sieur de La Chesnaye, with the promise of repaying him "upon the next ship coming to this country" in the spring of 1662.
At Château-Richer on 11 April 1662, Marie and Mathurin received the sacrament of Confirmation together from the hands of Msgr de Laval.
Mathurin faithfully fulfilled his lease. On 14 July 1665, Toupin gave Chabot a receipt for the farm which had been returned to him in good condition. It was agreed that before 25 October, Mathurin could take half of all the grain harvested and some of the livestock. He had only to cut "a small border of wood ... from the side of the land of Jean Cloutier."
We know that on 23 December 1665, Jean Gobeil took over the lease of Toussaint Toupin's farm at Sault-a-la-Puce for 5 years. His contract had begun on the preceding first of November. Where did the Chabot family spend the winter?
Mathurin had barely terminated his lease, when on 15 July 1665, he bought a piece of land from Abel Sagot dit Laforge. It measured 2 ½ arpents in frontage and was located at Saint-Pierre on the island (Orléans) between Simon Savard and Martin Côté. It was to this place that the Chabot family moved that same autumn, and where they would live for several years.
Then on 11 June 1666, Mathurin acquired 2 more arpents of frontal land on which there was a cabin, located near his property. He paid only 50 livres to Guillaume Landry to acquire this new property.
In the censuses of 1666 and 1667, the Chabot family lived on the Ile d'Orléans where they owned 3 head of cattle. Mathurin said he was a serge-maker by trade. Three children assured the continuation. Their neighbors were Jacques Bussière and Jean Maranda.
Would the Chabots always live on this farm? We know that on 12 February 1667, they had already sold the 2 arpents of frontal land bought from Landry to Martin Côté.
For some time now Mathurin had his eye on the southern part of the island. There he found other good lands to buy. He also thought of his sons' future. On 14 March 1674, Nicolas Delage, former servant of Étienne Racine, husband of Marie Petit, sold a farm which he owned at Saint-Laurent, to the Chabots. It had 3 arpents of frontage and was located between Louis Bidet and Jean Munier. On 9 March 1676, Louis Bidet in his turn sold 3 more arpents of frontal land to Chabot. Thus Mathurin's family could develop a farm 6 arpents wide to the east of the present church.
In 1681, they were listed in the census as living between Charles Pouliot and Jean Jouanne. They owned 1 gun, 4 head of cattle and had 6 arpents of land under cultivation.
On 8 July 1685, Mathurin and Pierre Louineau went to the home of notary Duquet. Sylvain Duplais accompanied them. The latter promised to build a chimney which would have 4 hearths on the site that Pierre and Mathurin owned jointly at Québec. Was their twin-house already built? It seems so. The mason was to use stone from Beauport and to cut all the jambs. The chimney would exceed the said height of the house by 3 feet. Sylvain received 120 livres cash of the 300 promised. Louineau was already living at Québec.
The location of this house was precisely fixed on 10 February 1686, the day on which Mathurin leased it to Jean Clouet for 120 livres a year to be paid in 4 equal installments. The house and lot
was on rue Sault-au-Matelot, with Pierre Louineau as a neighbor. Jacques Boutret, woodworker, on February 1689, leased the same house for two years under the same conditions.
The puzzle of the ownership of the Chabot lot in town is finally answered on 16 June 1689. The priests of the Seminary of Québec sold the lot to Mathurin with 25 feet in frontage, along the rue Sault-au-Matelot, located between the neighbors Louineau and Boutret dit Lafaye. The title to this lot had been given on 6 April 1680 by Msgr de Laval, probably verbally. Mathurin went into debt at that time for 400 livres. He promised to pay 5% in interest, equal to 20 livres annually.
Michel, Joseph, Pierre, Jean, Mathurin, Marie, François, Anne, Françoise, Antoine, Louise, Marguerite and Françoise were the 13 members of the Chabot family, born between 31 December 1662 and 30 July 1687. This was a family which enjoyed good health. Anne and the first Françoise died in the cradle. The second Françoise did not reach the age of 13. All the others grew up normally. Mathurin junior's fate is bathed in uncertainty. This godson of Abel Sagot was noted at Saint-Laurent on 29 October 1684, then there is silence. It is reported that he was killed by the Iroquois about 1690 or 1691. A sad end!
1. The eldest, Michel, who became the godson of friend Michel Roulois at Château-Richer, courted Angélique Laplante. Their marriage, celebrated on 23 January 1690, produced 15 children, born and raised at Saint-Pierre on Ile d'Orléans. There was a tragedy on 6 August 1727. Michel and his two sons, Pierre and Augustin, drowned while crossing the river from Beauport to the island. Jean Bussière and Jean Pelletier found Michel's body on the bank on 10 August; the funeral was the next day at Saint-Pierre.
2. Françoise Pouliot, daughter of ancestor Charles, was married on 24 November 1692 at Saint-Pierre to the 20 year old Joseph Chabot and gave him 13 children. Joseph was buried at Saint-Laurent on 27 September 1738.
3. The adventurer, the coureur des bois of the Chabots was Pierre. One day, he went to the village of the Kaskaskia's, on the Illinois River, not far from the present city of Utica. A Mission of the Immaculate Conception had been located there since 1687. In this region, about 1708, Pierre found a wife, Symphorose Tapakoe, an Amerindian. Their children Pierre and Catherine Chabot were married respectively to Marie-Thérèse-Françoise Lessard and to Paul Filion, at Sainte-Anne du Petit-Cap. Later on when a widower, Pierre returned to the Beaupré Coast about 1718, where he was married a second time, to Dorothée Mercier. Then he returned to the Kaskaskia's. He was the father of another child named Pierre. After his death on 7 August 1721, his widow was remarried, to Nicolas Thuillier at Fort de Chartres.
4. The 12 children of Jean Chabot and Éleonore Énaud were all born at Saint-Laurent on the island, between 20 January 1695 and 29 November 1718. Jean became the owner of the paternal land. After his death on 14 September 1727, his descendants passed on the ancestral land in succession until 1905.
5. Marie, eldest of the daughters, became the wife of Charles Pouliot dit Laclergerie, on 7 February 1689, at Saint-Laurent. Mother of 7 children, she died on 8 April 1703. Geneviève Crepeau took over her home.
6. Seventh child of the family, François Chabot joined his destiny to Marguerite Noël 27 April 1698. A misfortune, perhaps the epidemic of 1703, resulted in his death on 5 March 1703. Their three children did not reach adulthood.
7. On 30 January 1696, Antoine Pouliot won the heart of Marie-Louise Chabot. This was a short marriage. Nicolas Audet replaced him on 15 April 1697. The new couple produced nine children.
8. As for Marguerite, she found her sweetheart in the person of André Pouliot, on 23 February 1699. Alas! This young mother of a daughter and a son also died, on 21 January 1703.
The second generation was enriched by 64 new members.
The first holy orders in the Chabot family was bestowed upon Antoine. On April 1679, he was held at the baptismal font of the church of Sainte-Famille by Antoine Fortier and Catherine Boisandré. After his studies at the Seminary of Québec, he was ordained a priest on Sunday, 29 October 1702 and immediately appointed to the parish of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
Father Louis Soumande, the departing priest, organized a special ceremony to welcome the young pastor, on the following Wednesday, All Saint's Day. Father Chabot "solemnly sang his first mass." The assistant priest was Nicolas-Michel Boucher, pastor of Saint-Jean of the Ile. The deacon was Ignace-Germain Hamel from Québec; sub-deacon was Jacques Leblond, pastor of Baie Saint-Paul. This was the first timethat an initial high mass had been sung in a country church.
It seems that Antoine Chabot, a friendly and beloved priest, never left his parish at Sainte-Anne where he was buried in the church, on 17 February 1728. He had not yet reached the age of 50.
In 1689, Mathurin felt that his strength was ebbing and he thought it time to put his affairs in order. On 3 July, he sold to his son Michel a homestead of 2 arpents in frontage with house, a framework of a barn and about 20 arpents of cultivated land. This farm had been bought from Sagot on 15 July 1665. Son Michel would inherit and pay 1,000 livres in 8 years of equal installments.
Then on 4 June 1690, Mathurin gave the property acquired from Delage and Louis Bidet to his son Joseph, who received it as his share of the inheritance, worth 150 livres.
On 22 October 1695, Mathurin Chabot
He left 100 livres for the celebration of 30 masses after his death; 100 livres for a yearly mass for 20 consecutive years "for the repose and relief of his soul." In addition, he gave 10 livres "to the Congregation of the Ste Vierge Established in the said Church of St Paul"; and 10 livres to his last two daughters. Joseph would be the executor of his will.
Finally, on 13 March 1696, the notary Genaple went to the house of Ancestor Chabot. Among other things, the latter wanted to give 200 livres as promised dowry to his daughter Marie-Louise, married to Antoine Pouliot since the previous 30 January.
After less than two weeks at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, he left his loved ones forever, on Tuesday, 12 June 1696.
Michel Chabot, guardian and protector of his minor brothers and sisters, asked the notary Genaple on the following 16 October, to draw up an inventory of the property left after the death of his father. Michel Énaud and Nicolas Godbout took the oath as appraisers.
The description and appraisal of the personal property and real estate, and the verification of the papers was conducted without any special difficulties. On the farm, there were 4 oxen and 2 cows. In the house, the furnishings and utensils were nothing to make a king envious.
Surprisingly, it seems that there were some over due accounts concerning the "old house" at Québec, on the rue Sault-au-Matelot. The architect Baillif was still waiting for his 99 livres 14 sols for masonry work; Aubuchon, the carpenter and roofer was owed 47 livres and 10 sols.
Ancestress Marie Mesange had been dead for several years; about whose demise we have no precise details. On 25 April 1692, we know with certainty that she was no longer living with her family. She didn't know what death was, but she was ready to face it.
Mathurin and Marie had crossed the endless sea, crossed the gulf without boundaries, stood on a continent without borders; they could now undertake the long and glorious march towards the land of eternal hope.

Terry pouches for a mahjong party.
A custom order complete with an embroidered starfish and 'St. Barth's'.
And a surprise turquoise color on the inside:
A local party planner ordered these pouches, she will be adding a custom zipper pull.
Makes me wish I was going to St. Barth's with the pouches!
But I don't play mahjong and I have three little ones to care for.
Here's how I made the pouches:
1. Cut terry cloth pieces (10" x 14") and back with medium fusible interfacing.
(I use medium weight terry cloth towels.)
2. Embroider design (this was outsourced unless you have a really fancy machine).
Here are the terry pieces after I picked them up from the embroiderer:
3. Party planner Stacey wanted turquoise for the lining, I gave her these options:
And she settled on the dark solid.
4. Prepare the lining pieces.
Each pouch needs 2 - 10"w x 7"h plus one 9" zipper:
5. Sew in zipper using zipper foot.
Terry piece face up, zipper face down flush to edge, lining face down:
6. Repeat for other side.
Pull terry over, face up, zipper face down and other lining piece face down:
7. Top stitch lining down at zipper to keep lining from catching in zipper:
8. Sew side seams.
Put terry piece right sides together and lining right sides together.
Be sure to line up zipper ends for smooth operation.
(*Don't forget to add you tag into lining side seam.)
9. Miter the corners.
Open side seam of terry cloth at bottom of pouch and pinch to bottom fold, sew across making a triangle:
10. Snip mitered piece off:
And turn pouch right side out.
11. Press side seams open and press up bottom raw edge of lining all around 1/2":
I do all these steps assembly line style, much more efficient:
12. Top stitch bottom lining seam shut:
13. Press lining smooth, push down into pouch.
Press lining flat at zipper.
Press terry bottom gusset pleat:
Ready for your mahjong card and a roll of quarters.
Or your cell phone, lip gloss, money, keys, etc.
Thanks Stacey for a new version of the terry pouch.

First, how about this from Yogi Berra:
The waitress asked: "How many pieces do you want your pie cut?" Yogi responded: "Four. I don't think I could eat eight."
My husband's side of the family recently gathered for their family reunion. Bob's sister and husband Vern hosted the event at their home in Woodland Park, Colorado. To get to Woodland Park (the city above the clouds), we drive South to Colorado Springs, passing the United States Air Force Academy, past Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, wind around beautiful Pikes Peak (America's most visited mountain), and past the North Pole Santa's Workshop. There, don't you feel like a tourist?
Patricia and Vern were wonderful hosts and layed out a feast…and I mean a feast for lunch. Pulled BBQ Pork and sliced ham for sandwiches, coleslaw, fresh corn on the cob, baked beans, mac n' cheese, fresh slices of watermelon…get the picture? (I hope so since I didn't take any) :-/
And amongst the array of desserts? Patricia's Key Lime Pie. I haven't had this in years and the first bite was every bit as delicious as I remembered…maybe even better than I remembered.
You can use any type of pie crust from homemade to the pre-made versions in the stores like graham cracker or dark chocolate crusts. If you use the chocolate crust, dress up the top of each slice of pie with a bit of shaved chocolate.
How can something this easy be this delicious? Take a look at this line up of sinful ingredients.
- 1 can Eagle Brand Milk
- 1 tub Cool Whip
- 1/2 C. bottled Key Lime Juice or 12 Key Limes, squeezed
Stir all ingredients together and pour into a prepared pie crust. Refrigerate overnight. The pie also freezes well.
I think it takes longer to get the items out of the pantry than it does to throw this pie together.
Patricia's Key Lime Pie,
It's What's For Dessert.

Both of my canine teeth are out of place. They are higher than my other teeth. Can invisalign work with fixing this?
Can Invisalign Work with Crooked Canine Teeth?
Doctor Answers 5
Yes Invisalign can fix canine teeth but...
They may need to have a little button placed on them and then a clear elastic placed down onto the aligner to pull them down into place. Sounds complicated but its really not. My patients have done it found it very easy to manage.
Think like plastic... feel like a tooth
This is the way to think about movements with aligners. The aligner is a piece of plasitc that doesn't really have the ability to grip a tooth and pull on it. A tooth that is higher up will require something to help pull it down (where as pushing it up is much easier). Therefore, the use of elastics, attachments, and partial brackets with wire may be required to help the aligners move your teeth into place. Good luck!
Invisalign for crooked Canine Teeth
Yes, it will work. Depending on the amount of crowding it may take longer or shorter time to \wear the alignments.
Dr. Barba
You might also like...
It is possible, but approach cautiously
Invisalign is a great system for moving misaligned teeth. But some movements we intend for it to accomplish are more predictable than others. Moving teeth vertically and rotating canine teeth are two of the least predictable types of movements. With an experienced provider and certain modification it is possible, but a bit of a risk considering the expense.
I recommend visiting an orthodontist with experience in Invisalign. They can let you know if it is a good option considering your canines as well as addressing other bite issues. And they likely have other alternatives that may be more effective.
Good luck,
Dr. Depew
Invisalign moves canines.
Invisalign can work. Many factors will effect the sucess of your treatment such as the amount of crowding of your other teeth and your bite. If the teeth are too far out of line for Invisalign to engage some minor movement with some braces can move these teeth into an area where Invisalign could correct them. The most difficult movement with Invisalign is rotating canine especially lower ones and frequently requires a few braces for a few weeks to align them.
Good luck with your treatment and if Invisalign is not right for you there are still esthetic brackets such as Damon braces which are completely clear.

Q. I noticed that parka's are making a comeback – but how to I wear the look without looking sloppy?
A. First it was favoured by Eskimos to fend off the icy Arctic winds. Then it was the choice of Mods for protecting their mohair suits during clashes with the Rockers in the 60s but, going back a few years, most people remember them as the anorak of choice for thousands of schoolchildren across Ireland. Now this practical coat of the great outdoors is back - this time in women's fashion.
Parkas, complete with masculine cut, fur, leather inserts, snorkel hoods and big zips, are once again set to be hot over the chilly winter months - a rebirth inspired by catwalk designers such as Altuzarra, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs and Gaultier. This style is wonderfully versatile and practical. Fur-lined hoods are what you need to be seen in this season to make a fashion statement, as well as keep out the cold, and there are plenty to choose from on the high street.
Now parkas of all shapes, sizes and colours are pouring into shops at the moment as the autumn and winter collections are unveiled including Pennys, Zara, Topshop and Debenhams. The sheer variety of parkas on the high-street reflects the fact the jacket can be worn by everyone and in many different ways. Team it with a pair of skinny jeans and ankle boots for a casual look or wear it over a floaty dress (just like Kate Moss) if you want to make a real style statement.
Internationale parka, €49.99
Parka €45 at Tesco

The 200+ women she profiles are realistic about the fact that their partner isn't 100% perfect or attentive or even satisfying. And instead of abandoning the relationship, they simply flirt or carry out a full-blown affair with men who pick up where their husbands left off. Here are some excerpts:
"If you avoid getting caught, a little affair can perk up a marriage," says Lucy, a 50-something Californian.
"My husband is only capable of doing so much, and it's not enough," says Shauna, who keeps a garden landscaper on the side.
"A husband is your costar and a rock in your life," says Lana, a 59-year-old actress. "But if you're a multidimensional person, you need a lot of different colors on your palette."
As jaw-dropping as these quotes may be, the women maintain that their partner won't catch them cheating. Moreover, they won't fall in love with their sidepiece or out of love with their husband. They believe affairs actually benefit their relationship by taking all the pressure off of one person to fulfill them. Do they have a point?
Take the 80/20 rule where your better half gives you 80% of everything you want. As the adage goes, when someone else comes along with the 20% your partner lacks, you abandon your relationship in search of what you've been missing. These wives turn that rule on its head; they choose to keep their 80% and 20% 'lovers' in rotation and enjoy 100% satisfaction.

MariahCorp LLC
Westminster, CO 80023, US
Real Estate
MariahCorp is both creator and developer of the most technologically advanced, self-sustaining communities in the United States, ushering in a new era of community design that both enhances quality of life and greatly reduces resource consumption.
MariahCorp's game-changing communities combine the latest in existing technology with MariahCorp's proprietary technologies, resulting in a lifestyle experience never before imagined in the world of commercial real estate development. From greatly conserving precious water and power resources, to dramatic reductions in both waste output and air contaminants, MariahCorp is building a much better future for generations to come.
While environmental ambitions have usually meant higher costs unaffordable to the average consumer, MariahCorp has developed methods to greatly reduce costs, and create environmentally friendly communities for less cost than that of traditional communities. Additionally, ongoing operating costs such as utilities & maintenance are greatly reduced, resulting in increased monthly/yearly operating capital for both residents and commercial tenants. Another contributor to cost reduction and profitability is the construction method for building these communities via on-site prefabrication of buildings and tower units in a ground facility. The ability to continue work year around regardless of weather in a strict quality-controlled environment before hoisting completed sections and units into place allows for much greater cost control and virtual elimination of cost overruns. Construction completion times are also dramatically reduced, bringing the new community into a revenue-producing state much more quickly.
Since buyers and tenants are the key to profitability, MariahCorp has created an experience for them that is second-to-none. Tenants/residents have access to an enormous roster of time and money-saving services to help them with their busy lifestyles. The resort-style atmosphere is also enhanced with the ultimate in security systems that go far beyond the norm, and actually prevent crime before it happens.
MariahCorp communities are a dream come true for tenants, residents, municipalities, and the investors and lenders that help create them.

AMSTERDAM — A few Americans clocked in across the pond on Tuesday night, with Tim Howard suffering a Steven Gerrard hat trick in Everton's 3-0 Premier League loss at archrivals Liverpool.
The US netminder made six saves, but had little to do with Gerrard strikes on 34, 51 and 90 minutes. Losing for the first time in over two months, Everton remained stalled in ninth place.
Down one level in the Championship, Jonathan Spector left with a thigh injury after just 10 minutes of Birmingham City's 3-1 defeat at Leicester City. Now winles in four, the Brums slipped to eighth place.

Dear Dolores,
Why are high school golf teams noted as men and women when other sports are girls and boys. Is golf less emotional and childish?
What we expect from our young men and women in high school earns them that designation as young adults and the right to be treated as such, don't you think?
So far our community alliance with the partnership among students and teachers has created a very well-educated adult result. I think celebration is in order, right?
Don't miss out on the discussion!

The construction of the hydrogenation unit led to a breakthrough in the production assortment. This has occurred as a result of DOT's long scientifi c focus and because hydrogenation processes have particularly broad spectra of utilization in the synthesis of perfumery and fl avor substances. The so-called hydrocinnamic alcohol, 3-phenylpropane-1-ol was the first substance to be produced. Soon after this launch, the material founded a broad utilization in perfumery compositions, becoming an advantageous export item. 3-Phenylpropane-1-ol was produced in two steps as shown by the two equations presented in F-1.

Does it? Your example shows it with FM selected. What happens in Oracle without the FM? Still, Leif's example surprises me. Why does it pick up the '3' but ignore the '5'? Seems to me that the presence of whitespace should be enough to cue the thing that it's done seeing the day field, FM or no. In fact, I can't see a good reason for FM to affect the behavior of input conversion at all. regards, tom lane

11 years ago I BF my daughter for 19 mos no problem. Im Pregnant again and plan on BF, however I had a lumpectomy on my right breast 2 years ago. The cyst was not cancerous. And Ive not had any more problems since.
I had no plans for ever being pregnant again and Im wondering if this breast will work or if the doc cut all my milk ducts?? He said I would not have a scar and I do. Im 33 week and my boobs are VERY lopsided. THis is why im now worried that my much smaller right breast is broken. :(.
Is it possible to BF with only one booby? Has anyone out there had this problem as well??
Thanks Ladies.
I have a friend whose child had torticollis (sp) and would only nurse on one breast. Her milk dried up in the other one, but she nursed her son for over 2 years on the one breast. It took her a while to figure out that her son had a physiological issue, and by that time apparently the other breast had stopped producing. It CAN be done, but if your second breast does not produce any milk, you will just have to be prepared to supplement if it becomes necessary. From what I understand though, there are milk ducts throughout the entire breast, so while you may have a reduced supply, you will likely continue to produce SOME milk from that breast. Also, whether your breasts are large or small does not indicate supply - so just because they are currently lopsided, they may both be just fine. Good luck!

There is an article on here somewhere about nursing with only one breast. It might make you feel better to read it.
Here is a link to the Mothering article about breastfeeding from only one breast -- the woman had one breast seriously damaged in a fire and went on to breastfeed 5 kids (including a set of twins!) from just the other side.
Also, for all intents and purposes, my 7mo breastfeeds from only my right side. For various reasons, my left side has never produced much, and if not for pumping, probably would have completely dried up by now. I have had no need to supplement and feel confident that just the one boob has supplied all of her needs.
However, you'll probably be even more lopsided if you can't breastfeed from the side that you had surgery on. OR, maybe there are still some connected milk ducts there and by nursing from that side, you'll even it out a little more :)

Cookin' Up a Fine Elixir
End-users, system integrators and suppliers are implementing ISA-88-based solutions in many new and unexpected applications
Lingering Reluctance
Despite batchs growing acceptance, some potential users are still hesitant about trying it, especially if theyd only been considering a simpler type of automation. Ladder logic is still the king in terms of comfort. I think 80s% of the code we see is ladder, and the remaining 20% is IEC formats like sequential function block and standard text, says Craig Bransfield, engineering manager at Automated Control and Technical Services, a CSIA-certified system integrator in Bakersfield, Calif. When I pipe up and tell customers there are ISA-88 programs and models they can use, most get that deer-in-the-headlights look. But once we get them to try ISA-88, they say, Wow! This is great! It just takes awhile to get them to that point.
Bransfield adds that users are initially worried about new batch methods because they dont know if their staffs will be able to respond appropriately. Theyre concerned that the guy who has to come in at 2 a.m. on Sunday will be able to respond quickly and safely, and ladder still gives that warm fuzzy feeling that they can do it, adds Bransfield. Were very sympathetic to these worries, and so well spend half a day showing people on a laptop how well batch programs work until the concept sinks in, and theyre willing to rely on it.
Once batch is adopted, Bransfield reports that ISA-88s common jargon and handshake protocols can help increase users comfort level. If I walked into an application that someone else built years ago, and they used ISA-88, I would know just what to look for, he says. Its very comforting for customers to know that we can respond that well.
Background Benefits
Experienced users say knowing how ISA-88 originated can help rookies understand it better and enable them to develop future solutions to meet the unique needs of their own applications.
AstraZenecas Ann Lindholtz uses ABBs System 800xA to increase vessel pressure, continuing a drug process and recipe in its batch protocol.
Bransfield adds that, When I first ran into ISA-88 years ago, it was what Id been trying to do by hand for years. I knew then that it would think like I do and that I wouldnt have to reinvent the wheel with every project.
Rob Purvy, senior consultant with Siemens E&As process automation division, explains, Batch approaches have changed along with technological advances. Were now living in a more Windows-based society, so thats meant changes for batch too. Before the mid-1990s, we did inflexible, monolithic batch code programming. This situation shifted when users began defining recipes in their PLCs or controllers. Then ISA-88 was able to separate equipment-control from recipe-development definitions. ISA-88 also gave everyone a common, flexible language for batch applications. Now chemical engineers can make flexible recipe changes and push through new products more quickly. As a result, ISA-88 is widely accepted, and users want to put in ISA-88 systems.
For example, Air Products plant in Wichita, Kan., recently completed the first of two phases of a migration from a 20-year-old continuous process control system to a Siemens PCS 7 (DCS) with Simatic Batch management software. The first phase was at the facilitys South Plant, a hydrogen reaction facility, specializing in polyurethane curing agents and additives (Figure 3). It normally produces 35 products, but can make up to 250 products.
The project team needed only 18 days to complete the new installation, which controls 75 unit vessels and 50 equipment modules. During the outage, the team installed the new PCS 7 system, made sure more than 2,500 I/O points were transitioned and tested the Simatic Batch configuration for production sequencing. Plant manager Ramon Lopez reports the new software will increase his plants capacity and improve visibility of its processes.
We now have a more precise way of making our chemicals, and it will be consistent, shift after shift, hour after hour, says Lopez. This reduces raw material costs. Being able to operate the equipment consistently all the time also will reduce maintenance. Reducing downtime by 5% is a big improvement. The Wichita plant has reduced material, labor and field installation costs by about 30% after one year of operation.
Branching Out and Up
Batch applications are evolving rapidly, moving into some new and unexpected areas, such as packaging, and even beginning to form links with the enterprise level, thanks to a working group combining ISA-88 and ISA-95 committee members. In fact, Dawn Marruchella, batch product manager at Emerson Process Management says efforts are underway by several non-batch industries to come up with ways to apply ISA-88 and ISA-95 methods to their own applications.
Other industries are finding that they must find standard ways to communicate, and then integrate with higher levels, says Marruchella.
Some companies are even building standards for their own software based on how ISA-88 does it, and then building a library of standard modules to reduce project work.
For instance, A-CTS Bransfield reports that he applied an ISA-88 batch design to help rebuild the co-generation engine at small, 500-kilowatt power plant operated by Crimson Resource Management in Castaic, Calif. The plant uses natural gas from its oilfield to produce electricity. I chose to arrange the generator and its engine as a batch design, but the one difference was that this application keeps the batch in a running state. Usually a running state has an endpoint, but this does not. It just makes power until the operator tells it to stop. This application has nothing to do with a traditional batch, but it was still highly adaptable to it.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but there's a major baby boom going in Hollywood right now. Victoria Beckham just welcomed Harper Seven, Natalie Portman gave birth to little Aleph and Kate Hudson has finally named baby Bingham.
Plus, the muy-preggo Jessica Alba will join them in new mommyhood soon — she's due the end of this summer with her second child.
So how can these stars go from round and fertile to red carpet-ready? We dug up a few tips based on their own workout preferences.
Natalie Portman
Natalie's trainer told us all about the actress's ballet workout for "Black Swan," which targeted the star's inner thighs and butt six days a week for 5 to 8 hours a day. Whew — no wonder she won the Oscar!
Her Ideal Post-Baby Workout: Cardio Dance
We like Dancing With the Stars' Edyta Sliwinska's dance workout, which will
resize Natalie's butt and thighs and give her a fun break from baby duty!
Victoria Beckham
Victoria is always enviably slim — she even looked chic while seven months pregnant at the royal wedding! But the former Spice Girl owes her physique to more than just posh genes. She told The Daily Mail that she runs "'four, five miles every day on the treadmill."
Her Ideal Post-Baby Workout: Running
Victoria's already a runner, but here are some tips to help her fine-tune her form, avoid injuries and make running feel easier.
Kate Hudson
Kate admitted to David Letterman that she sometimes "lets herself go," which we find hard to believe! While Kate appears to be naturally slim, perhaps she could use a little more toning.
Her Ideal Post-Baby Workout: Flat Abs in 5 Minutes
Kate obviously doesn't have a lot of time for exercise — but everyone has five minutes, right? We think she'll love these quickie ab moves from Lisa Wheeler, national creative manager of group fitness for Equinox in New York City. She'll be back to her "Almost Famous" torso in no time!
Jessica Alba
Alba has said she's a huge fan of HypnoBirthing classes, which t
each breathing, visualization and "ultra relaxation" exercises to limber the body.
"Basically, my husband takes me through sort of a meditation," she told Ellen DeGeneres. "He'll say, 'You're relaxed, and you're floating on clouds' while you're going through labor and your contractions. I'm just concentrating on breathing and staying relaxed, because it's when you get tense that makes the whole labor worse and more painful."
Her Ideal Post Baby Workout: Yoga
Between the meditation and breathing, Alba sounds like a yoga kind of girl! Here are four easy moves that
will increase her flexibility and sculpt a long, lean physique.

Canon 200-400mm 1.4x advice, please
I have almost decided to get the 200-400 1.4x as an upgrade to my Canon 100-400mm. I am aware of the price, weight and size. I am also aware that my 70D and 6D aren't the most obvious cameras for that lens but they have to do the job for now, mostly the 70D. I will use it mostly for wildlife and birds.
I have some questions to current owners:
- Do you have problems getting it through security in airports around the world?
- How do you keep it secure e.g. in hotels? Can it fit into the safes w/o the hood?
- Can you recommend a "small" backpack for the lens with the hood reversed and with a DSLR? It has to be small enough to fit as cabin luggage on flights.
- Do you often leave it at home due to its size, weight and to avoid too much attention?
- Any experiences with the lens on 70D and 6D?
- Can you recommend a good but cheap shop to buy it within EU? EU prices are so much higher than US prices.
- Are you happy with the lens? Is it as good as the reviews tells?
Thank you.

There, lifted high above us, to the right is the break in the top of the wall with the two steps leading down to it which we saw when looking from near the Arch of Titus. Thus we can see, then, that we are looking to the amphitheater's northern side. The buildings seen through the arcades on the right are on the Esquiline Hill.
The arena itself rested upon those broken upright walls which you behold at our very feet. Besides acting as a support for the arena, these walls were used to divide the space beneath into subterranean stalls or dens for beasts, and the remains of the vaulted doorways may be seen in them. The circular modern railing is built upon the remains of the wall surrounding the arena, a wall high enough to protect the spectators from infuriated wild beasts. The foremost seats just above that wall or railing of the arena were called the " podium " and were reserved as places of honor for the Emperor, the Vestal Virgins and the senators, also foreign ambassadors. Above those are three divisions of seats, the first of which, being nearest the " podium," belong to knights, and have fourteen rows. Above this was the row for the citizens, and the topmost row was reserved for the common people. Entrances and staircases were so constructed that each person could gain his seat without trouble or confusion. On the roof of the colonnade, near the summit of the wall, were stationed sailors belonging to the imperial fleet whose duty it was to stretch a sail cloth over the vast enclosure for the purpose of excluding the rays of the sun.
The number of people who could range themselves about these walls has been variously estimated at from fifty to one hundred thousand, but probably the smaller figure is nearer correct.
The first Christian to suffer martyrdom here for his faith was St. Ignatius, a disciple of the Apostle John. It was in this arena that he cried, as the lions were let loose, " I am the grain of the field and must needs be ground by the teeth of lions to become as bread fit for the Master's table." His martyrdom was followed soon afterward by that of one hundred and fifty Christians, who were pierced through with arrows. The list of those who perished here for their faith is an appalling one.
Once, when I was in the Colosseum, the excavations of the débris between the walls beneath the arena (for centuries this was the dumping-ground as well the quarry of Rome) were not quite completed. As it was the noon hour, and the laborers had gone to their midday meal, I tumbled down one of the embankments and, digging under the dirt, dislodged a Roman tile that had certainly not seen the light of day for more than a thousand years. It was foot-worn and hoof-dented and stained almost black with blood, but I treasure it among my souvenirs of Rome, and I do not find it difficult, when I hold it in my hand and gaze upon this scene, to repeople again these vacant spaces and imagine the arena filled once more with ferocious beasts and still more ferocious men, and hear that strange hush out from which steals a low murmur, and then the hoarse shouts of the vast multitude occupying seats tier above tier upon these arches, while, now and then, above all this mighty roar and confusion rise the piercing cries of the struggling and the dying.
Surely Benvenuto Cellini could not have selected a more suitable place of rendezvous when he invited his companions in necromancy to assemble at midnight among these ruins. In such a place, with its weird, quivering shadows and everywhere a shivering gloom, it would not be a difficult task to call up spirits, if one had any imagination at all.
We are not surprised that, in the turbulent days of medieval Rome, this Colosseum was transformed into a giant fortress and, later on, Italian banditti found a safe hiding-place within these walls ; to-day, the Romans have a strange superstition about this king of ruins. They say that, in sunlight, all is silence and calm, and on starlit nights these continue ; but, when the night is dark, and wildest storms beat down upon the ruin, and gales of wind howl through its crumbling arches and empty galleries, then the mighty monument, like a reanimated monster, becomes itself again ; the old scenes are re-enacted, and those who once sat upon these benches and long since left the world, occupy them again, and above the screeching of the gale, their voices ring out in mad, delirious cries.
We are told that the Colosseum is crumbling away an inch a year, and in this it seems to have a kinship to the whole creation, and even to the very Alps them-selves. Perhaps the prophecy of the Anglo-Saxon pilgrim may yet prove true :
"While stands the Colosseum, Rome shall stand ; When falls the Colosseum, Rome shall fall, And, when Rome falls, the world."
Nevertheless, as we look upon it, we can but be conscious of its dark and troubled past, which would cause us to exclaim with Dickens, as our eyes wander over the structure, " God be thanked ; a ruin!"
A few feet below that highest row of windows, and to our left, you will see a short section of modern railing similar to that which we see below us surrounding the arena. We shall climb now to that point and look to the Palatine Hill behind us and to our left. Our field of vision from that point is given on the map by the lines, with the number 32 attached, which branch from the northern side of the Colosseum toward the southwest.

Here are five pivotal factors for the 1 p.m. game Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium:The Dolphins have picked off eight passes, and three of their four starting defensive backs have two picks (Chris Clemons, Reshad Jones, Sean Smith) apiece. If there's one area where Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck can be accused of recklessness, it's in trying to force passes where windows are small or essentially closed. Miami's secondary is capable of exploiting that. On the other hand, the Dolphins have to worry about covering Reggie Wayne, now the NFL's leader in receiving yards.Luck could end up feeling some heat from the Dolphins for two reasons: 1. Miami ranks third in the NFL in rushing defense, so it could shut down the recently effective Colts running game. 2. If the Colts are forced to pass more often, the Dolphins bring the NFL's fourth-leading sacker in Cameron Wake. Protection has seemed to be more of an issue on the road than at home, but Miami's aggressive defense will cause some disruptions.In the Dolphins most recent win over the Jets, they blocked a punt, blocked a field goal and had a kickoff return touchdown. This could be a dangerous area for the Colts, considering they have shown vulnerability in the kicking game at times this season. On the flip side, the Colts have yet to find their stride in kickoff or punt returns or establish a go-to player at those spots. There has been too much hesitation on punt returns on whether to fair catch the ball, let it drop or catch and return.If Robert Mathis returns to the Colts defense at outside linebacker – and he said this week he believes he can play – that will boost the Colts' ability to put pressure on the quarterback, whether it's Ryan Tannehill or Matt Moore. Mathis' presence not only helps his longtime running mate Dwight Freeney but has a positive effect on Cory Redding and the interior line as well. The Dolphins' passing game has been so-so most of the season. A little pressure could go a long ways. The Colts must also find a way to slow Reggie Bush, who's always a threat to break a long run.The Colts defense as played well at times but one area where it is sorely lacking is in takeaways. Indianapolis has only two interceptions this season (Jerrell Freeman's pick-six vs. the Bears and Jerraud Powers' momentum-shifting pick vs. the Packers). That's horribly low. What's the reason? Colts could Bruce Arians suggests those takeaways, whether interceptions, forced fumbles or the old favorite sack/strip, come in bunches. If they can get one, it could turn on the takeaway faucet. The secondary will be without injured former Dolphin Vontae Davis again. Tom Zbikowski has been playing more consistently and Powers is due for a good game after being picked on the last couple weeks.

The shares of media and engineering organization Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) have declined in 2014. Comcast had a mixed performance prior with the decline in revenue yet earnings stayed level. Still, the organization is developing strongly and seems, overall, positioned to convey solid long haul development.
We should investigate in detail the fiscal performance of Comcast and figure out if conditions are positive for development over the long haul or investors should consider purchasing some other stock instead.
Great progress
Comcast is very sure about its solid viewpoint with huge numbers of its segments such as link communications, link networks, broadcast television, shot stimulation and amusement park developing robustly in sales.
The quantity of customers for feature, fast web and voice in the final quarter of 2013 arrived at 649,000 which is a 29% increase from the same quarter the previous year. Comcast has a robust possibility of performing admirably in the impending quarters with such a solid customer base.
The triple play strategy of Comcast is expected to convey this positive energy to fiscal 2014 as well. The triple play strategy comprises television, web and telephone, which have all experienced robust development for the past year because its users are using separate products.
As indicated by administration, nearly 79% of feature customers for Comcast requested extra two products and 44% of its new customers profited for all the three services amid the final quarter. By and large, the organization included 1.3 million new customers in the final quarter which marks eight consecutive quarters of including more than 1 million new customers. Comcast is right now set to increase the estimation of the triple play strategy with robust strategic investments to drive constant development.
Further, in the second a large portion of 2013 Comcast had propelled X1 boxes and wireless passage services which is a piece of the triple play strategy. The X1 boxes are dispatched with an extensive variety of substance choices and several quality-included services as well. Additionally, the organization is witnessing robust customer interest for its feature on interest (VOD) service.
Comcast has plans to increase the spending on X1 boxes as it is currently accessible in all markets, and the organization focuses on arriving at more customers. It also has plans to convey extra wireless gateways to further advance customer experience by giving the fastest in-home Wi-Fi experience and by increasing system limit.
Also, Comcast signed a concurrence with Netflix (NFLX) to permit immediate access of its broadband system that is expected to enhance speed. Comcast is relied upon to enhance its profitability through the activity as Netflix's customers will experience great speed and faster review taking into consideration more subscriptions.
Comcast has increased its dividend by 15% because of witnessing robust growth across all its businesses. For the following couple of years, the organization has also raised its stock repurchase program approval to $7.5 billion.
Thus, investors can profit 30% increase in capital returns because of these moves. In addition, Comcast illustrated 8.3% increase in operating cash stream coupled with 6.9% increase in free cash stream in 2013 empowering the organization to keep returning cash to shareholders. Alongside a robust PEG degree of 0.94, Comcast appears a promising long haul pick with being undervalued in respect to its normal development.
Comcast shares are underperforming this year; still the organization is generally positioned to arrive at new highs going ahead since witnessing development across the board. Also, the administration is investor cordial alongside the appealing valuation which makes Comcast a decent pick for the portfolio.

The arguments were sparked at the beginning of the month when a temporary three-month agreement between the Beach Chair Club and local authorities expired.
The agreement had allowed club members to put out three rows of chairs instead of the usual two. When it ended, beach chairs owners were obliged to cut back to two rows, resulting in shortages of loungers – and disputes between tourists.
But the lesson has been learned, said Sunan Boonrat, Chairman of the Kata-Karon Beach Chair and Umbrella Club.
He told The Phuket News, "We will have a conference, around June or July, after which we will meet with the relevant municipality officials.
"We know the problems now and we will discuss the possibility of extending the three-row arrangement for longer than three months."
He added that a special club committee will also meet every year before December to discuss how best to handle the incoming waves of tourists.

What Are You Doing This Week?
Missouri volunteers Caroline, Anne, and Naga are ready for GOTV
It's time to roll up our sleeves and get it done. In Missouri, supporters are answering the call and stepping up during these final days before the Election to volunteer in their communities to make calls, knock on doors, and talk to voters about committing to vote on November 6
Below, three of these volunteers share why they are committed to take action:
"I have been IN since day one in 2007! I knocked on doors I made phone calls, drove our senior's to the polls, and I know it was my efforts, along with the thousands of other volunteers, that made the difference and helped him to win, in 2008. I am committed to his re-election, educating people on the power of their vote, and I am committed to CHANGE for the better." – Patricia T. Team Normandy
"Our country's problems are real and substantial. It's now time to drop the excuses and do something about it. I think President Obama is a gift that we're hopefully prepared to accept. We need to rally around for this president." - Victor M, Team Kirkwood
"We that voted for Obama in 2008 knew that four years would not be enough time for Obama to get the needed changes done. Voting for Obama four years ago should be a commitment to vote for him now." – Peggy B., Team Brookside/Waldo
Votes win elections. Each door knocked, each phone conversation, each volunteer shift helps us turn supporters out on Election Day. We need you to join us. Let's win this thing!

A top education official in the Netherlands has threatened universities and colleges in the east of the country with closure if they continue to recruit students from just across the border in Germany.
Deputy Education Minister Halbe Zijlstra drew up a profit-loss analysis of student-exchange programmes between EU countries, Radio Netherlands reported. The analysis had been requested by parliament.
His conclusion was that the Netherlands spends more than €90 million a year providing higher education for 34,000 foreign students – most of whom leave the Netherlands after completing their education. In comparison, 19,000 Dutch students are studying abroad.
Of the 34,000 foreign students at Dutch universities, 24,000 are German. The Dutch government wants Germany to start making a contribution to the cost of educating these students. It points out that the number of Germans studying in the Netherlands is increasing by 14% annually.
In a letter to parliament, Zijlstra says he fears "an unbridled increase" in the numbers could lead to "seriously negative consequences" for some courses.
He says some colleges in the border region appear to recruit German students mainly because of a shortage of Dutch students. Some classes are taught exclusively in German and "do not appear to meet a strong demand from the Dutch labour market".
Zijlstra says he will take up the issue of financial compensation with the German government.
However, the minister also sees advantages in the exchange programmes. Foreign students are often highly motivated and have a positive effect on the results of Dutch students, provided they are in internationally mixed groups, not just among compatriots, he said.
Similar problem with Austria
But German students are crowding not only Dutch schools – Austria faces similar challenges. Since 2000 the number of German students in Austria has increased fourfold – to nearly 25,000, 9% of the student body in Austria.
There are some departments at the master level where one in three students are German.
The most crowded department is medicine. For nearly seven years Austria has been limiting the share of foreigners to one-fourth of the total.
Efforts to restrict foreign students violates the EU principle of non-discrimination. But the European Commission has been tolerating the limitation so far because of the huge number of German "numerus clausus refugees". Numerus clausus is a method to limit the number of students in the most sought-after studies.
In Austria too, there is a political debate about the costs of the academic education for foreigners, and the need of financial support either from EU structural funds or from Germany directly. But there has been no official bilateral claim so far.
Faced with a similar problem, Denmark and Sweden introduced cost-sharing systems in 1996.
Cool response from Berlin
The German government reacted negatively to the Dutch demands. Helge Braun, an official at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, told EURACTIV Germany that Berlin "does not think much of an isolated solution for an isolated viewed problem."
Braun said Germany receives more foreign EU students than it sends abroad and, as a result, the country would earn more money than it paid from any system of compensation for foreign students. He added that the issues of bi-national compensations and quotas for students have yet to be discussed by EU education ministers.
A similar position was evidenced at a recent meeting between Austrian Minister of Science and Research Karlheinz Töchterle and his German counterpart Annette Schavan. Germany indicated that it would not be willing to pay compensation for its abroad students.
Schavan said Germany was already spending money to expand the capacity of its own universities. Töchterle's office indicated the issue of imbalances in student flows must be discussed in Brussels.

Berlin (Mar. 6)
The eleventh hour blood-thirsty incitement preached throughout Germany on the very eve of the election contributed a great deal towards Jewish uneasiness. Thus, although representatives of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith had only just received the regrets of Minister Goering for misrepresentations made against Jews in one of the Nazi organs, another Nazi paper—the "Angriff"—published a special edition on Saturday, giving prominence to a quotation from Hitler's book, to the effect that "Jews agitate for the complete destruction of Germany. Wherever we read of an attack on Germany, it is invariably the work of Jews. In war-time and in peacetime, the Jewish Bourse and press systematically preached hatred against Germany until State after State abandoned neutrality and entered the struggle against Germany."
The same issue of the "Angriff" recalls the Nazi march through the Kurfurstendamm in Berlin on Rosh Hashonah of 1931, when Jews were attacked on their way to synagogue. It declares that on that occasion "the brown-shirted detachments marched into the streets where Asiatic gangs led a life of luxury and where Bernard Weiss, the Jewish police chief of Berlin ruled, compelling police officers to beat Nazi men because they mishandled Jewish provocators."
The "Angriff" also reproduces alleged memoirs of a Russian by the name of Nilotonsky, describing "the Jewish sadistic lust at watching the victims of Bolshevist torture," and making the clear inference that it is precisely such torture that Jews now deserve.
