My family surprised me when they said they were dissappointed that we were not considering names that reflected my cultural heritage. I did not expect that at all, because neither my parents nor my siblings have used names from "our side of the world" for their kids, but somehow I was expected to? It was a puzzling but we just ignored it.
His side of the family took more issue with our chosen surname. I have a hyphenated last name, and my husband was quite receptive to add a part of my name onto his -and viceversa-. His family did not like it when they saw that the kids were going to get one of my last names too. They assumed that we were making a statement just to annoy the world -or them-. We also ignored them.
The names themselves were very well recieved. With Theo some people expressed relief that he was not going to be a Theodore, and others had to ask "why not Theodore?". Both families were very happy to see Sebastian as middle name, since its a name that comes up both on his side of the family and mine. With Lilia there was no complain whatsoever and mostly praises for recycling grandma's name with a twist.
As for our current list, we haven't shared it at all yet, most people don't know we are expecting. We will delay sharing the name for a while, until we have settled for one.

I had the proudest moment the other day when my sister admitted she was "coming around" to Dougal. I've only loved it for about 7 years, she took her time! The rest of my favourites aren't too out-there really - my mother insists that Elisabet would be far better off as an Elizabeth, but I think that's mostly because of predicted pronunciation/spelling issues. I have not dared to go into middles, however - in my family, surnames are used as middle names, and there has been constant recycling of the same family surnames for the past three generations. Were I to admit that I intend to deviate from this tradition, I'm not sure that my grandmother would let it go unnoticed, let's just put it that way.

No kids yet, but I tend to get negative reactions to most of the names I mention because I like names that aren't frequently used in my area (or anywhere.) But then again even when I'm not leaning towards celebrity baby names/something eccentric, I'll still get eye rolls and sighs and "oh no, not this again." The thing people like to do most is either come up with ways they'll be teased as kids over their name, or point out all the negative associations they can possibly think of. As far as I've seen, anyone who really wants to will come up with a way to tease someone about their name, no matter what it is. And the same goes for finding negative associations. Sometimes they'll even point out random facts that don't even seem to be negative, so I'm not really sure why they're pointed out. For example, "Rowan? You mean like the knit and crochet magazine?" Yes mother, is knitting a crime now!?*Middles*

My granddaughter, Adler,usually gets a good reaction from her name. Most people say, wow, thats different and really nice. The biggest thing my daughter has experienced with this name is some people hear 'Heather' when she says it, but thats ok. Adlers little brother Idris is due in four weeks and this name hasnt gotten much love from too many people. Id say the majority cringe and say things like, ''Where do these young people come up with these names now a days"... lol---I love both names---I think my daughter did an awesome job naming her children!

My toddler is named Syndil, and I love it. I think most people do once they get used to it, it's very pretty (An alternate spelling is Cindel, in case you are curious about the pronunciation).
My inlaws didn't like it, and neither did my grandma. They didn't outright say it, but I could see it in their faces and hear it in their "Oh...how...different" reactions. I knew it was coming though, so I can't get mad- when you choose a name that is very common you will still find people who don't like it. When you choose an uncommon one, the reactions are even more varied.
I waited to announce the name until she was born, because before that people always voice their opinions. I've had friends in tears because of the mean things people say trying to change their minds. I didn't want to deal with that. People are usually much more polite once the ink is dry
I always have to repeat her name a few times to new people. "Cybill?" or "Symbol?" or "Kindle?" if they hear it, "Sydney?" if they read it. But, my name is unusual too (Helena) and so I'm used to it.

Missouri junior T.J. Moe of the football team and senior Laurence Bowers of the basketball team were among 39 MU students selected for the Mizzou '39 award.
Members of the Mizzou Alumni Association and Alumni Association Student Board select 39 outstanding seniors for the Mizzou '39 Award, named after the year of the university's founding in 1839. The seniors become eligible for the award after applying and are selected based on their achievements in the areas of academics, leadership and service to the MU community.
Moe, Bowers and all recipients of the award will be honored at halftime of the Missouri-Baylor men's basketball game Saturday and then at the Mizzou '39 banquet later that night.
While not a senior, Moe has been a standout for the football team each of the last two seasons, when he led the Tigers in receptions. His breakout season came in 2010, a year in which his 92 receptions were good for the third-best single-season mark in program history as well as All-Big 12 Second Team honors.
In 2011, Moe's 54 receptions landed him All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. In both seasons, he was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team.
A regular award winner, Bowers' selection to the Mizzou '39 represents the first honor he's received this basketball season. That's because the senior suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the preseason, forcing him to redshirt to come back for a final season in 2013.
Bowers has still played two very productive seasons as a Tiger, earning Big 12 recognition in both years. As a backup during the 2009-2010 season, Bowers' 10.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game earned him a spot on the Big 12 All-Reserve Team. He also made the Academic Big 12 Second Team in 2009-2010.
The next season, Bowers became a full-time starter and, with averages of 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds, earned himself All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and a spot on the Big 12 All-Defensive Team.

Natural House review & giveaway
Generally I clean my house with cleaning products that I know work, without leaving behind gross residue or unpleasant chemical smells. More recently I've gotten interested in household cleaning products that are naturally derived, so when I read about Natural House I just knew I had to give their products a whirl. Natural House's cleaning products are made with non-toxic, probiotic cleaning agents. They are suitable for cleaning up in any home or even commercial residence, but also safe enough to be used around children, pets, and those with chemical sensitivities. What really sets Natural House apart from other cleaning products is the inclusion of probiotics – natural occuring organisms that actuall eat odors and certain waste materials. The plant-based ingredients that are all of Natural House's products are eco-friendly and non-toxic, and are also biodegradable, so you don't have to worry about increasing your carbon footprint. Natural House is certainly becoming well known – they recently won the Retailers' Choice Award at this year's National Hardware Show (source)!
The cleaning products from Natural House not only clean, but they create a miniature eco-system that provide enzymes which tackle the normal bits of dirt, dust and bacteria that typically re-populate on a recently cleaned surface. This natural environment is safe to be in your household, and effective at tackling odors, bacteria, and waste.
More about Natural House:
Natural House sent me three products to review, and I am in love with all three of them:
- Flushy: probiotic cleaning packets that clean toilet bowls and the drain or septic systems they're hooked up to; once used the priobiotics hang around to consume the toilet paper and waste that normally accumulates in toilet systems
- Sinky: probiotic cleaning packets that clean out drains and the pipes beneath them to help clear out and prevent odors and clogs
- Trashy: probiotic cleaning and odor-killing spray that ca be used in and around indoor and outdoor trash cans
All three products have worked wonderfully. I'll admit, while I'm accustomed to the strong scent of our traditional Lysol toilet cleaner, it was a refreshing change to not get smacked in the face with an overpowering chemical scent after using Flushy – and I've definitely noticed a difference in how long our toilets have stayed clean and neutral smelling since using Flushy in place of our normal toilet cleaner. Sinky has definitely cleaned out and freshened up our kitchen garbage disposal and the drain to our other faucet. And Trashy? Love it. A household of five people, four cats and a dog tend to generate plenty of stuff for our trash cans, which do take on odors after a while. In fact, just the other day I noticed that our kitchen trash can was smelly oddly fishy. A quick rinse with water and then a few sprays with Trashy took care of that in no time flat!
Despite being a frequent, longtime user of traditional household cleanser, I'm pretty sure Natural House has me sold on using natural household cleaning products in addition to or maybe even instead of regular ones. What's important to me when choosing a cleaning product is finding one that works. Finding one that is safer to use around small children + pets (as well as myself, and Dan too) = bonus!
You can purchase Natural House products directly on their website, or from Amazon. And don't forget to check out Natural House on Facebook and Twitter!
One winner will be randomly selected to receive a 30-day supply of Natural House Products: Flushy, Sinky, Trashy.

Ooooo that looks awesome! I should try that stuff out, it looks awesome!
I would love to try these products as we have recently been switching to natural cleaners and laundry products. They sound great!
I would love to try Trashy, heck I'd love to try all of them to see how well the probiotics work! They sound like awesome products.
The trashy! Our trash consistently smells terrible thanks to a diaper wearer.

- //The Subways
What the mass media offers is not popular art, but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food, forgotten, and replaced by a new dish.
—W.H. Auden
Woah. That's pretty badass.
—Ross Langager, upon seeing the cover of the new Subways album
By all rights, the Subways should be a guilty pleasure. There they are, cutely energetic Brits from the Home Counties who sound like Californian rock-radio mainstays, laying down power chords like railroad ties and driving home the hooks like spikes. They rock undeniably out, without a hint of either hipster pretense or mainstream recumbence, and with plenty of hopping. They are best known in America for selling teen-soap tie-in soundtracks with a gloriously dumb rocker demanding that you "be my little rock and roll queen". By any reasonable measure, they should simply be consumed and forgotten, as that dead poet suggested, to be inevitably replaced by the new.
The Subways
All or Nothing
(Warner Bros.)
US: 9 Sep 2008
UK: 30 Jun 2008
But what it is about the pleasure afforded by a band like the Subways that must necessarily be preconditioned by guilt? These twelve barreling tunes (or nine, anyway; more on the subtler outings in a bit) certainly don't challenge your worldview, or enrapture with their boundless creativity, or deconstruct the basic assumptions of established popular music. But why should we distrust the pure surge of pleasure such impeccably-rendered sugar-rush rock provides? Is enjoyment that isn't lashed tightly to intellectual insight so aesthetically suspect? Are we all closet Freudians, fretting and uptight and requiring ourselves to transcend our rampaging ids in order to stand out among a festering social cesspool of slavering, sex-mad reptilians?
I mean, the limeys put a bloody flaming airborne car on their album cover! You were expecting Finnegan's Wake?
Let's be honest: the Subways have their shit together. From the start, there is nary a misstep to be decried. All or Nothing's lead single, "Girls & Boys", is no winking pop ode to gender-bending like the Blur classic, but is a killer modern-rock stew of Britpop chime, towering power-chord monoliths, and soaring melodic trade-offs between Billy Lunn and Charlotte Cooper. Some Cobainesque screams are even thrown in at the end, for grunge measure. The polished hand of producer Butch Vig is clear, though no amount of expensive production can manufacture the swaggering attitude that permeates every track.
The clichés should be overwhelming: the guttural "ugh"s in "Kalifornia", the fist-pumping shouts of "Shake! Shake!", the "yeah"-heavy chorus of "Turnaround". But there's more at work here than meets the ear. For all its predictable elements, "Turnaround" beguiles with Cooper's girl-band countermelody and Lunn's closing uvula-scraper "You gotta believe!" The Subways haven't the restless dynamism or the biting, observant wit of their countrymen the Arctic Monkeys, but they don't simply layer distortion on like cake icing masking a shoddy baking job. There's a steady hand at the tiller of their song structures. It may indeed be Vig, but a band doesn't build up the kind of slavish live following the Subways have cultivated at the Reading and Leeds festivals without their fair share of chops.
As if to prove it, the Subways lay off the unforgiving rocking now and then to let Lunn indulge his latent acoustic-emo singer/songwriter side. It's curious to register how much more British Lunn sounds when he does this, especially in comparison to his flattened American syllabic outbursts that prevail on the faster tunes. It doesn't hurt that Lunn's lyrical choices in the ballads encourage the Albion associations, particularly the mention of the Irish Sea and the casually prim pronunciation of "Glasgow" in "Move to Newlyn" (which itself is a town in Cornwall, natch). The other lower-key exercises also provide some color. Album-closer "Lost Boy" is a lovely composition, extremely reminiscent of Australian folk-popper Josh Pyke in its breezy melody and striking banjo. It's kind of the "Butterfly" to the rest of the record's Pinkerton, a simply soulful counterpoint to the brassy abandon that swirled before it. "Strawberry Blonde" doesn't linger in the quieter registers, but wrings ample affect out of Lunn's sensitive bookends: "You're the wind / I'm the weathervane / You're the strawberry blonde / And I'm the grey".
All or Nothing has all of nothing wrong with it, unless you want to make an argument that that's what's wrong with it. Some would, but I won't. Are the Subways the rock equivalent of a chewy chocolate bar, rich and delicious and sweet, but ultimately insubstantial and equally bad for your health? Probably. So nibble away righteously at indie rock's organic vegetables, if you would. I'll be wolfing down Subways-brand choco-treats, blasting "I Won't Let You Down", igniting the hood, and accelerating for that jump ramp. See you in hell, Auden.

The "endangerment finding" issued by the Environmental Protection Agency last week could backfire on the Obama Administration's intent to regulate greenhouse emissions.
That is the opinion expressed in an editorial last week by The Wall Street Journal. The editorial uses this logic:
Now that the EPA has taken responsibility, why would Congress want to stick its neck out and pass something as politically contentious as cap-and-trade? It's a high-stakes game of "hot potato."
If EPA does try to enforce the "endangerment finding," it will have to come up with some evidence that will stand up in court, because industry is already gearing up to fight this one on legal grounds. And Climategate doesn't help the government's stand. If the scientists themselves are skeptical about global warming, how can the government prove its case? Lawsuits could tie the whole thing up for years.

Hot Dish
Quick--before it gets too hot. It's the time of year when one should forego the restaurant lunch and take a sandwich to the park. And here are some of the great sandwiches of Dallas: any of the panini at Arcodoro; the chicken salad at Marty's; the incredible layering of tomato, Dallas mozzarella, and pesto from Empire Baking Com-pany; the new "Pain Nicoise" at La Madeleine with olives, fresh tuna, hard-boiled eggs, and roma tomatoes; Eureka's low-fat "Wrappers"; the salmon club at Cafe Pacific (I guess they'll give it to you to go); Crescent City's version of the muffaletta (pictured at right); and Fog City Diner's exotic lamb and watercress sandwich slathered with tomato apricot chutney.

"The island of Gran Canaria, where over 20,000 hectares of pineland has burnt down, is seeing the worst situation, and 13,000 hectares of forests have been destroyed on Tenerife," the source said.
However, the spokesman said the fires were raging in inland areas of the islands, while coastal regions where numerous hotels and popular beaches are located were under no threat.
The official said strong winds and scorching temperatures of up to 45 degrees Centigrade (113 degrees Fahrenheit) were helping to spread the blaze, with firefighters unable to use heavy machinery in mountainous districts.
He said five water carrying helicopters and a hydro plane were currently involved in the firefighting operation over Tenerife, and more aircraft were expected to arrive soon.
However, a resident of the village of Aldea de San Nicolas on Gran Canaria complained about "a lack of firefighting equipment" in a telephone conversation with RIA Novosti.
Spanish Environment Minister Cristina Narbona arrived in the fire-hit region earlier in the day to coordinate firefighting efforts, while local authorities have already pledged up to 300,000 euros in compensation to the affected households.

AIM: Larvae of Triplectides spp. and Marilia sp. occupying cases of other species are recorded and photographed; METHODS: The material was collected in different sites and dates in Atlantic Forest and Central Amazon regions; RESULTS: The Triplectides larvae seem to have an opportunistic behavior, occupying a great variety of cases, which reflects their common habit of enter in hollow twigs instead of build complex cases. However, this behavior is not frequently recorded in Marilia larvae, and we believe that the difference on the roughness of the interior walls, as well as the difference of the color of the material of the cases limit the opportunistic behavior in this genus; CONCLUSIONS: Experimental studies with different species can help the understanding of this behavior in the light of adaptive values.

Louise Glover
Louise Glover is best known for her scantily clad and nude photo spreads in men's magazines like Stuff, Maxim, Knockout, and FHM, as well as several international editions of Playboy and its offshoot publications. She has also been featured in fashion mags like Glamour, as well as in print ads and runway shows. Some of the TV shows and documentaries she's appeared in include: Secrets of the Sex Goddesses, National IQ Test and Blaggers.
AppealA single image of a scantily clad or -- better yet -- completely naked Louise Glover should be all you need to understand why this British babe rates so high in this category. Some may argue that Louise is not all that she should be naturally, as she had a breast enlargement in 2003 that took her from a 34A to a 34D, followed by a breast reduction in 2007 that brought her down to what she qualifies as a "more natural" 34C. With or without surgical enhancement, Louise has as hot a body as you'll ever drool over, from her long shapely legs, perfect rear end and wonderful womanly waist and hips, complemented by an equally sexy face with seductive bedroom eyes and a luscious pair of lips.
SuccessBefore modeling, Louise Glover was a finalist in several national and international beauty contests, including the 2001 Miss Great Britain pageant and the 2002 Miss Earth competition. One of her most recent pageant wins was the highly competitive Miss Hawaiian Tropic UK title, which she earned in 2007. She made her music video debut that same year in "She's So Lovely," however an appearance in a video from the likes of Franz Ferdinand or Kasabian may have earned her more points than her cameo in a clip from a little-known English band like Scouting For Girls.
Although her fame factor hovers well below the mainstream celebrity radar meter, she has become fairly well-known by aficionados of the plethora of men's magazines out there. Louise Glover has made it onto the pages of countless international publications and onto the covers of Knockout, American Curves, Ice, Maxim, Bizarre, and Bonita, as well as Playboy Lingerie, Playboy Vixens and the French edition of Playboy. In 2006, she earned the distinction of being the first British model ever to be named Playboy's Model of the Year in Playboy Special Editions. She also made the cover of UK Penthouse as their March 2007 Pet of the Month, which included a lengthy 10-page feature on her. She also became the face of Stringfellow's lingerie and retail.
Louise Glover BiographyLouise Glover was born on February 8, 1983, in St Helens, Merseyside, England. She experienced a troubled childhood as both her parents were sent to prison on drug charges when she was growing up. She was raised in part by various members of her mother's and father's family, as well as in foster homes. Out on her own at the age of 15, she got her first apartment after being released from foster care.
Louise Glover was discovered by a photographer while out shopping with her mother when she was just 9 years old. He soon began taking photos of her, and by the age of 12, she was determined to make a career as a model. Within a couple of years she was entering beauty pageants and modeling competitions. Following high school, she entered St Helens College to study holistic therapy in case her dream of modeling didn't work out.
louise glover is miss great britain finalistIn 2000, Louise Glover was selected as a regional finalist for the Miss Great Britain title. As a 17-year-old student living on her own in government housing, she needed to drum up financial support from others to raise funds for the entry fee and travel expenses to London in order to appear as a national finalist in the pageant. Her campaign proved successful, and she represented her region in 2001. The following year, she journeyed to the Philippines as Great Britain's finalist in the Miss Earth contest.
Following her appearance in the Miss Earth pageant, Louise Glover launched her professional modeling career in 2002. A breast enlargement procedure in 2003 helped her become a favorite model for British men's magazines and tabloids, as she appeared in sexy spreads in publications like FHM, Maxim, Loaded, News Of The World, and The Sun. In addition to the lad's mags, she was also featured in print ads for Austin Reed ladies wear and Sex Symbol denim wear, and on television programs including Dream Team and Secrets of the Sex Goddesses.
While receiving financial compensation for magazine and newspaper photo shoots between 2002 and 2004, Louise Glover was also claiming unemployment benefits. In August 2005, St Helens' magistrates sentenced her to 240 hours of community service after she admitted to collecting welfare benefits she wasn't entitled to. She was twice attacked by a group of young girls in 2006 while performing her community service. Her nose was broken during one of those assaults, which put her modeling on hold for a few weeks and prompted her to take up kickboxing.
louise glover in playboyWhile on a photo shoot in Los Angeles in 2004, Louise Glover met Hugh Hefner. The Playboy magazine founder invited her to a test shoot at the Playboy Mansion, and she eventually wound up on the cover of the January 2006 issue of Playboy Vixens magazine. She was also named Playboy Special Editions' Model of the Year for 2006. She's since been a cover girl for Playboy France, and in September 2007, Louise Glover appeared in the magazine's U.S. edition.
2007 proved to be a busy year for Louise Glover on a number of fronts beyond the men's magazines. She won the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic UK after three previous unsuccessful attempts, and went on to compete in the international finals held in Las Vegas. Her music video debut came via the Scouting for Girls' clip for their single "She's So Lovely," which Louise uses as the background tune for her MySpace site. She was also involved in discussions with the WWE about joining them as a professional wrestler. On the personal front, Louise Glover and boyfriend Ben tied the knot in Arizona's Grand Canyon.

I'm trying to work out how to send data from a contact form to email with no knowledge of PHP.
I've copy/pasted some code and am going OK so far. I'm receiving the emails with the email address and message, but I don't receive the name? I've tried a few things but cant' work out where to put what...
Below is the form code:
<form method="post" action="sendmail.php">

Contact Us

Your Name

<input type="text" placeholder="Your Name" name="name" />

Your Email

<input type="text" placeholder="Your Email" name="email" />
Your Inquiry
<textarea rows="4" name="message"></textarea>
<button type="submit" class="radius button">Submit</button>
And here is the PHP:
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
mail( "email address", "Feedback Form Results",
$message, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: thankyou page" );
Do I need to add something in the 7th line of the PHP code?
mail( "email address", "Feedback Form Results", $message, "From: $email" );
Where in there did you put $name ?
I -think what you're trying to do would require a quick reformat of that From header...
"From: $name <$email>"
I added name as below to see what happens...not knowing any better:
$message, "From: $name, $email" );
I now get the name instead of the email address in the from field and receive the contents of the message in the body of the email.
I might search for another script as this one is pretty basic right?
That worked! Thanks for your help.

Watching England play football is an extraordinarily masochistic exercise. It is like waiting to be punched - the question is not whether or not you will be punched, the only question is when. As Harry and I roam over the site, he banters with his crew in Dutch, swapping manly hugs, jokes and the occasional kiss.
The week ended in the King's Road with James Harvey, who has been a great source of creative ideas over the last few years. He is constantly planning and plotting how to improve and develop his business; it is great to admire his verve and consider how many dealers' businesses would benefit from his level of energy.
Back behind the wheel, with my trusty giant Twix nestling in my glove compartment, ready to grant me the benison of its exquisite chocolate, caramel and biscuit melange when a sugar crisis raises its head. Even now, as I guzzle the chocolate stick I cannot resist pretending I am smoking a cigar, something I have never done in real life!
I began the week with jewellery and the doctor and finished in Paris. A year ago I was called by my local surgery to have a health review. I did not go; I did not want to go. So, the doctor rang me and said that if I did not make an appointment and attend I would be struck off their list of patients.

Doing Good Works or Being a Christian
I exploded when my thirteen-year-old son Rob refused to take the bulky package to the post office for me. My harsh voice let him know just how uncooperative I thought he was. Even his tears didn't stop my tirade. Just then an older son quietly picked up the package and said he would do the errand for me.
"Why can't you be more like your brother?" I asked Rob. He left the room unhappily.
Self-righteously I wondered why it was so difficult to do something nice for someone—the package contained clothes for a needy family I'd read about in a New York newspaper. But a few minutes later, when I knelt to pray for its safe delivery, I was shocked to have this thought come: "Don't call me Father when you act like that!"
I reviewed the things I'd said so angrily to Robert; I had intentionally hurt him. I hadn't spoken with love or with the spirit of the Lord. Penitently, I went to find Robert. His forgiveness came readily—with a smile. I went back and prayed again, a chastened petitioner.
I learned a lesson that day: I can never make the Lord partner to an unloving frame of mind, regardless of what "good works" I might think I'm accomplishing. And if I want to be his child and have my gifts acceptable to him, I must act in a spirit of love. , Hillsdale, New Jersey
A Hug from Mom
Last Sunday in sacrament meeting I couldn't stop the tears that came during the closing song, "When upon Life's Billows." Just a year and a half before, I had sat next to my mother in Sunday School and this had been the opening song.
As we sang, my mom had slipped her arm around my shoulders and hugged me. In a wave of feeling I still remember, I knew then how much I was loved and that I could never doubt this love.
Though she is no longer with me, I still feel mom's soft arm around my shoulders and I know that I have felt a love that crosses the boundaries of death. , Provo, Utah
What if She's Right?
A few years ago, I attended a January Spiritual Living lesson in Relief Society that has made a marked impression upon my life.
It seems to me that the first Spiritual Living lesson of each new year teaches repentance. I didn't attend Relief Society that day expecting to learn anything significant or new. However, the teacher presented an idea that was new to me, prompting some deep introspection. Apparently I was not the only one stimulated by her remarks. The room was suddenly alive with questions and comments. Later, outside the meetinghouse, some of the sisters approached me and asked why I hadn't said something to correct what they thought were misconceptions of the teacher. I could only reply, "Because I'm afraid she might be right. I'm going home to do some further study and find out if she is."
Over the next several days I reread the lesson from my Relief Society manual and other sources on the subject. A conviction grew in my heart that the message she left with us was true, a message I needed to learn. What a blessing it is to be taught by a dear sister who prepares and teaches her lessons by the Spirit of the Lord! , Logan, Utah

Travelers who use Orbitz may want to pay attention to what computer they're on when it comes time to book a vacation. The Wall Street Journal reported that the online travel agency has been experimenting with showing Mac users higher hotel prices than PC users. To be clear, Orbitz is not charging Mac and PC users different prices for the same hotels. Instead, the first results a Mac user sees after a hotel search may be pricier than those seen by a PC user. Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare, told "Good Morning America," "If you're the kind of person who likes to pay for premium things, certainly, if I'm Orbitz, I want to offer you those things first."

"It's not that easy being green," sang Kermit the Frog in the first season of Sesame Street in 1970. Nearly four decades later, "being green" means something entirely different, but it still isn't easy.
Today, being "green" means, in the most general sense, being environmentally aware and doing something positive about it. But it also means that aviation is the target of choice for many seeking to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.
These gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced by jet engines, are the enemy and responsible, say environmental activists and many scientists, for global warming. This despite evidence that aviation represents less than 3 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, and business aviation only a tiny percentage of that number.
Nevertheless, warranted or not, being in a global spotlight and publicly labeled an environmental pariah by activist groups and government agencies is not a particularly desirable public image. So business aviation is going green.
One of the most popular green programs emerged from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in December last year. More to the point, it followed a European Union recommendation that specifically proposed the inclusion of aviation in a new international agreement on global warming.
But even before the negotiations began, the aviation industry had recognized the need to address the issue. "If we aren't proactive [about] stepping up to the plate and addressing issues such as noise and emissions, society will be proactive for us," said a board member of the Lindbergh Foundation, which "supports great innovations that foster the environment to keep the planet in balance."
But there are shades of green, and no less important, green is not always what it appears to be. And such emotionally charged issues as global warming also give birth to some proposals that are at best poorly thought out, and in some cases little more than scams designed to separate the unwary from their money.
The environmental group WWF– formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund–made headlines late last year when it claimed that 20 percent of the 94 million carbon credits sold under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are of little or no use to consumers who want to offset or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, it warned that an influx of credits into the market could actually lead to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
If so, how much more questionable are the voluntary offset credit schemes suddenly finding favor in the aviation community? Among the questions being asked by aviation industry trade groups are: how is the effectiveness of these programs verified and are consumers' monetary contributions really being used to combat emissions in the atmosphere? "Just how credible, legitimate and honest are these offset providers?" asked James Coyne, president of the National Air Transportation Association (NATA).
Anja Kollmuss, an associate scientist with the Stockholm Environmental Institute (an international research institute specializing in sustainable development and environment issues) was blunt in providing an answer: "Carbon offsets will not save the world from climate change," said Kollmuss. "Carbon offsets are, at best, a game. You are allowed to emit and someone else instead reduces."
The best course of action, according to Clean Air-Cool Planet, a non-profit organization that promotes solutions to global warming, is to monitor individual energy use and emissions. And there is a growing movement among aviation companies to do just that.
One such company is Jet Source at McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, Calif. Atop two of its hangars are a series of photovoltaic panel modules generating some 442,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually. The solar-powered system provides enough electricity to power the equivalent of 40 homes per year and saves the 120,000-sq-ft FBO approximately $62,000 a year.
According to Jet Source information systems manager Brad Brown, the photovoltaic system is only part of the FBO's efforts aimed at becoming more environmentally friendly. Other measures include a centralized heating, ventilation and air conditioning system; additional insulation; a switch to compact fluorescent lighting; and use of motion sensors that automatically turn off the lights in any room that is out of use for more than 10 minutes.
LEED Standards
Avjet Corp., a Burbank, Calif.-based charter operator is nearing completion of what it claims is the first Leadership In Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified green hangar in the U.S. The 63,653-sq-ft facility will include 12,515 sq ft of office space. Featured are such green elements as photovoltaic power, recycled-content building materials and other resource-efficient systems, including a water-mist, chemical-free fire suppression system in the hangar.
Signature Flight Support's new FBO at Boston Logan International Airport was designed green from the ground up, with special window glazing and sun shades and recycled building materials. Even the wood products used were certified as not from ecologically fragile areas of the world. Like Avjet's new facility, the Signature facility meets the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED standards.
Nor are FBOs the only aviation companies going green. Most of the OEMs, from Dassault Falcon in France, to Embraer in Brazil, to Bombardier in Canada, to Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg, Germany, all have in-house programs for recycling, minimizing GHG emissions and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility.
Dassault Falcon, in response to customer concerns, has been studying ways to make future aircraft greener. Among them is the integration of higher-bypass-ratio engines, such as Pratt & Whitney Canada's PW308C. They are promoted as being quieter and having a lower specific fuel consumption. The larger engine diameter created its own challenge, to which Dassault designers suggested two solutions. In one, the engine nacelles were blended with the aft fuselage to reduce drag. In the other, a modified U-shaped tail accomplished the same purpose.
Green Machines
Perhaps the greatest technological advances in the greening of business aviation have been by engine manufacturers. Unlike automobile manufacturers, for whom big, gas-guzzling engines were not a negative, jet engine manufacturers have been searching for lighter and more efficient engines ever since the Wright Brothers' custom-built, 12-horsepower, 170-pound piston beast took the brothers aloft at Kitty Hawk in 1903.
With jet fuel in many parts of the U.S. in the $6-plus range, there remains plenty of incentive to make engines still more efficient. And with public pressure and the threat of more government regulations as motivation, engine manufacturers continue to reduce the GHG emissions, as well as noise.
Honeywell is hard at work on what it calls "rich/quench/lean" technology, which runs rich fuel/air ratios in the primary zone of the combustor. The rapid introduction of cooling air along the combustor axial length leans out the mixture before it enters the turbine. The result is "significantly" reduced NOx emissions as well as lower CO2, unburned hydrocarbons and smoke particulate emissions.
Pratt & Whitney Canada continues to refine its geared turbofan design and expects to spend about $1.5 billion over the next five years on research and development. The company has spent at least the last four years refining the concept, in particular with regard to a lighter and more compact gearbox. The current model in the demonstrator engine is only 14-inches in diameter. According to the company, its geared turbofan will reduce NOx emissions and cut CO2 emissions by 1,500 tons a year per airplane. At the same time, it is expected to be 50 percent quieter and provide a 12- to 15-percent reduction in fuel burn.
The new Rolls-Royce BR725 will power Gulfstream's G650 and is described by the company as "the most advanced member of the BR700 engine series." It is expected to emit 21 percent less NOx, show a 4-percent specific fuel consumption improvement, and be four decibels quieter than the BR710. Rolls-Royce attributes the improvements in part to a 50-inch diameter fan assembly made up of 24 "swept" titanium blades.
On the large-engine side, General Electric's GEnx-2B is expected to be the turbofan of choice for buyers of an executive version of Boeing's 747-8. It is expected to offer 15-percent better fuel efficiency, which will cut CO2 emissions by the same percentage. The company also claims it will be the quietest engine GE has ever produced.
Partners General Electric and Snecma are at work on open-rotor turbofan engine designs with a variety of options, including a contra-rotating pusher, a tractor configuration and both direct and geared drives. General Electric will produce a geared, contra-rotating solution, while Snecma will pursue direct-drive versions. The work by the partners is expected to yield a fuel-burn improvement of 30 percent over comparable enclosed turbofan designs.
As if any additional motivation other than customer demand was needed, the industry as a whole is keeping an eye on various governmental agencies worldwide, all of whom are, in turn, sensitive to public-pressure and environmental activist groups. The European Union in particular has been adamant that aviation be included in any new emissions standards.Taking a proactive stance, the European Business Aviation Association has offered to form a pool of business jet operators as an alternative means of compliance with the EU's emission trading scheme (ETS). It is an effort to keep the administrative burden acceptable to small companies. On the good-news side, a European Commission representative recently provided details about how the ETS will affect aviation in three or four years and hinted at possible exemptions for business aviation.
To return to Kermit's lament on the difficulties of being green, the song also strikes what is perhaps the right environmental note as our froggy hero concludes, "I am green, and it'll do fine, it's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be."

This Space Reserved for Disabled Thugs
July 7. If able-bodied people obstruct a handicapped parking space, is it our civic duty to cripple them? Some Newport Beach folks apparently believe so. Parking his '91 Honda Accord across from a home on Manistee Drive on the night of July 6, a local man may or may not have infringed upon a handicapped space. However, the next morning, the jury found him guilty; a note bearing their decision was stuck to the windshield: "Please keep from blocking our handicapped driveway. Thank you." The sentencing, however, was Taliban-strict: the driver's car was ransacked; a window, rear-view mirror and blinker light assembly were smashed to pieces; and the ignition switch was removed. The radio was blaring, and the owner's fanny pack—containing license, credit cards, checkbook and sunglasses—was missing. Curiously, the vehicle sat four to six feet west of where it was originally parked, leading some to believe this might be a case of evidence tampering. Odd, since the LAPD doesn't patrol Newport Beach.
TACO BELLE, WITH A SIDE OF JOE LOUIS July 7. One minute, you're enjoying Mexican food and wondering about your missing bike, and the next, you're absorbing head shots from a toothless heavy, hoping for a quick bell. At 11:50 p.m., a Huntington Beach man was sitting and eating a taco near the rear of a business in the 2100 block of Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa. Suddenly, a woman he believes had stolen his bicycle approached him, accompanied by a welterweight-sized man with missing teeth who "goes by the name of Louis." The taco eater advised the woman to return his bike. She did not respond, but Louis turned, jabbed the taco out of the man's hand and began punching him "in the head area." After a decidedly uneven round, Louis and the woman fled to an unknown, presumably neutral, corner. After assessing the physical damage and clearing his head area, the victim called 911. The reporting officer "did not see any visible injuries to [the victim], but he complained that his head hurt." Nonetheless, the unpaid contender refused medical attention. A rematch has yet to be arranged.
KIDS, LOOK WHAT I BOUGHT ON eBAY!
July 16. An item at a recent school auction was a 5-foot, 200-pound yellow sign reading, "28 Children at Play." Not surprisingly, a Newport resident bid $450 for it. Also not surprisingly, he won. The rich are not like you and me: they're silly. Unless I had a family of 30, this is an impulse purchase that would haunt me forever. Nonetheless, the lucky spender escorted his trophy home and planted it in front of his residence. On July 15 at 11:30 p.m., he arrived home to find the sign mysteriously moved to Buffalo Hills Park down the street. Figuring retrieval too arduous a task for such a late night, the sign buyer lugged the sign to the nearby corner of Port Manleigh Place and abandoned it, intending to finish the transfer in the morning. However, some—perhaps as many as 28—"children at play" had other designs: vandals carted the sign back to the park, laid it on its back atop a bed of paper napkins, and set it on fire. The next morning, the victim arrived to find the charred remains smoldering in the grass. This story has a happy ending, though: if you have enough cash to blow almost half a grand on a useless sign, you're doing okay.

NAPSTER July 17. A 42-year-old man called Costa Mesa police and asked for a "tour of the found bikes" to see if his lost two-wheeler had been turned in. Since access to the found-bicycle room is restricted to those who have filed lost-bicycle reports, the caller immediately relayed the following fuzzy account. Sometime between March and June of last year, his bicycle was stolen. While moving items out of his father's house, the man secured his bicycle inside the exposed bed of his gold '69 Chevy pickup and parked it on Towne Street. Then he pulled "his other truck" up behind the Chevy and attempted to take a nap. Just as he was settling in, a stranger in his late 30s strolled by, staring intently at the bicycle perched in the truck bed. Three or four times, the man paced by, each time casing the bike. The bike's owner presumed (correctly) that the man wanted to steal it. However, since he also presumed (incorrectly) that it was safely locked, the victim didn't bother to interfere and drifted off to sleep. That's like waking up to find your apartment in flames, then hitting the snooze button because you have a sprinkler system. When he awoke 20 minutes later, he dashed to the rear of the Chevy and—sure enough—found the chain curled in the bottom of the truck bed and the bicycle gone. He had, in fact, forgotten to lock the bike. The victim canvassed the area but could find neither his bike nor the thief. More than a year—and many naps—later, he called the police. Let's hope the found-bikes room provides ample coffee.
NO-HASSLE CAR BUYING July 19. A Newport Beach man residing in the 1700 block of Westcliff Drive was on his front porch one morning when a white van pulled up with two men seated in front. They were staring intently at a neighbor's purple Mazda RX7 parked across the street when the driver of the van suddenly leaned out and asked the porch-dweller if he would sell them the car. No, the man explained, he couldn't sell it because the car was not his. He further explained that the car belonged to his neighbor, who was not home, and that the prospective buyer should leave a note on the windshield with an offer the owner couldn't refuse. The two men nodded and continued to check out the Mazda, one even exclaiming, "It's unlocked!" They lingered for at least five minutes, appraising the car, until the neighbor eventually left his porch and went inside. Sure enough, when the Mazda owner arrived home, he indeed found an offer he couldn't refuse: his car was stolen.

Hi, I'd really appreciate a response, as I can't find any helpful information online.I'm 26 and am concerned about changes in my face over the past 3 years, as people keep asking me if I'm sick (I'm not). I have nasolabial folds that are, for lack of a better term, 3-dimensional, and above them there are very noticeable indentations in my cheeks. They show up very clearly in the attached pics and make me look very unhealthy for an otherwise healthy guy of only 26. Any advice appreciated.
"3 Dimensional" Nasolabial Folds with Indented Cheeks
Doctor Answers 7
Filling the cheek fat pad
It looks more like you are deflated in the mid cheek region as opposed to the nasolabial fold. This can be treated with fillers or fat.
Treatment of Prominent Fat Loss / Absence in the Cheeks
Your do not have a Nasolabial fold anomaly but loss of fat in the cheek pad. This can be corrected with several sessions of fat grafting or of Sculptra treatments.
Nasolabial folds
You appear to have a low fat content to your face, and probably overall. This is accentuate when stone-faced since the muscles go lax. If your cheeks fill out when you smile a bit, then usually perform a subperiosteal midface intraoral lift and eversion (SMILE) procedure. If it is still inadequate other volumizers like implants or fat grafting can be contemplated.

The groove that is evident is the midcheek groove.
You have a very thin face and are missing buccal fat volume. Fillers are an excellent option for this and do not require surgery. Although expensive, you might consider Sculptra give the extensive nature of your volume deficiency.
Treatment for submalar deficiency
Prominent Nasolabial Folds vs. Facial Volume Deficiency
Deficiency of Mid-Face Volume
Hi there-
While the appearance of your nasolabial area has you focused there, the real problem, and the reason it looks "3-dimensional" to you, is that you have a relative lack of volume in the mid-face area.
This is easily improved with fat grafting, and even more easily with Sculptra, an injectable volumizer than can be placed under local anesthesia and which can be expected to last a very long time.

Supervisors Discuss Health Plan, County Engineer Hiring Process
By Eduardo Zamarripa, CRI Weekly News
Oskaloosa, Iowa – On Tuesday morning, the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors received a presentation reviewing the county's health plan, and discussed the county engineer hiring process.
Brad Reiman from Bearance Management Group presented the county's health plan mid-year review. Reiman discussed how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) affects the county. He says the county has to pay a Transitional Reinsurance Program fee, starting on July 1, that costs $5.25 for every county employee on the health plan per month. The county has 302 employees on the health plan.
Reiman said it's possible the Transitional Reinsurance Program fee, which is supposed to be a fee for this year only, will have to be paid again next year depending on how details from the PPACA play out. The county also has to pay a Patient Center Outcome Research Institute fee. That fee is $1 per covered member per year.
"All in all, again, this is a good mid-year review. We do have another five more months, but we'll keep our fingers crossed," Reiman said.
The board also discussed the county engineer hiring process. Current County Engineer Jerry Nusbaum is under contract until June 30, however, Nusbaum has asked for a contract extension. The board has not taken action regarding Nusbaum's extension, but it decided to start accepting applications for the position in its meeting on Feb. 3.
Supervisor Mark Doland said he met with Leighton Mayor Dan Gleason and created an outline for the hiring process (Gleason had expressed concerns on how the county conducts its engineer hiring process in the Jan. 20 board of supervisors meeting).
Doland discussed the details of his proposed outline:
- Accept applications for the county engineer position until March 14
- Conduct temperament analysis profiles and conduct background and reference checks
- Hold a meet and greet between the applicant and community members. The community members complete candidate qualifications assessments where they offer feedback.
- Interview process
- Candidate evaluation
- Post-offer background checks (like a credit score check or a drug test)
Supervisor Mike Vander Molen said he thought the hiring process should resemble how the county hired its attorney last year.
"I think I'm more comfortable doing what we did with the attorney, where we take applications, interview, solicit feedback on our own, (and) make a decision," Vander Molen said.
Vander Molen also said the board would make sure the community is involved. Doland responded by saying that his proposed outline ensures community involvement.
"I think there's a lot value to having input from a wide group of people, and open it up. I don't think that we need thousands of people there, but I think from various different entities like, the MCDG (Mahaska County Development Group) group submitted a letter, they wanted to have a little bit more input, so did the Mayors Council," Doland said.
Supervisor Greg Gordy also weighed in on the discussion.
"I think the county attorney process went pretty smooth, but I think we can take this into consideration," Gordy said.
Doland said this hiring process is different given the concerns the board received from the community. However, Vander Molen said he also received concerns throughout the county attorney process.
"Well, there were a lot of people that came to one of our meetings, that, in my opinion, showed public support," Doland said. "I didn't see that during the county attorney process."
Gordy suggested waiting to see how many applicants the county receives in the next month, and then evaluate the county's next steps. The board unanimously agreed and did not take any action. Vander Molen also suggested possibly holding 'open' interviews during the process.
In other agenda items, the board unanimously approved a Mahaska County Secondary Roads bridge replacement project on 295th Street. The estimated cost of the project is $121,000. The board also received sanitarian and conservation reports.
During the committee reports portion of the meeting, Doland said the 10-15 Transit group that he's a part of has met with the Iowa Department of Transportation to discuss funding about a proposed fixed bus route. Doland said that for "special" projects, there are funding opportunities that might cover 80 percent in operating revenue the first year, and 50 percent the second year. He said that process is moving forward.
The next board of supervisors meeting is on March 3.Print this ad for $10 off your next oil change

no clicking. no voltmeter. i have not checked anything yet. i do not know where to start. I just charged the battery with a battery tender.
Well, I have checked the seat switch and it seems to be working correctly.

French newspaper Le Monde has published the testimony given by SocGen's 'rogue trader' Jerome Kerviel to French investigators. Here's some extracts (translation courtesy of MarketWatch):
'I had no illusions. I knew very well that I would earn less than on the other desks and that I wouldn't be paid according to the standards of the markets. It didn't discourage me'.
'I realized during my first interview in 2005 that I wasn't as well regarded as the others because of my education, my professional and personal path. I didn't arrive directly on the front line, I went through the middle office and I was the only one in that situation'.
'My first such experience (of trading) dates back to 2005. I then took a position on Allianz, betting the markets would fall. It just so happened that a little while later the market fell after the London bombings and it's the jackpot, 500,000 euros...I then got the idea of a deal to cover my position. I have mixed feelings because I'm proud of the results and surprised at the same time. It makes you want to continue; there's a snowball effect.....Above all I wanted to earn money for my bank'.
'In January 2007, I'm short on the (German) DAX, because I'm beginning to think there are signs of overheating in Asia and should that get confirmed I will lose on my position as the market will rise...In February, there's a mini crash in Asia and I reduce my position. At the end of February I don't have a position anymore, and with 28 million euros, I'm more than proud and satisfied'.
'Around that time the Asian crisis occurs and at the end of February / beginning of March, the first articles on subprime appear. I research a little and I read that, potentially, there's no risk to the wider economy. I then take the opposite bet and build a new small position in March'.
'From March to July, I lose, because the market keeps climbing. I keep reading up about subprime and I hold on to my position. At the end of July, the market collapses because of the subprime crisis, but they subsequently turn around. I unfold my position.... My result climbs: 500 million euros. I find myself in the same situation as before, on the plus side, and I don't declare this win, which doesn't show up in the books. I hide it with a fictitious operation... It's true that at this point I found myself quite intimidated by this 500 million-euro amount and how to announce it'.
'At Dec. 31, 2007, my coffers have risen to 1.4 billion euros and I haven't told the bank. At this stage, I'm totally overwhelmed by the situation and don't know how to present it to the bank. It's undeclared and no one has ever made such an amount, which represents about 50% of the total of the income of the division. I don't know how to deal with the situation. I'm happy, very proud of myself, but I don't know how to justify myself. So I decided not to tell the bank and to hide this sum through a reverse fictitious operation - via several fictitious trades, that appear to result in losses of 1.4 billion euros'.
The rest, as they say, is history.....................

Docket No. EP 558 (Sub-No. 16) RAILROAD COST OF CAPITAL—2012
Digest:1 The agency is initiating a proceeding in which certain of the nation's largest railroads must, and other interested parties may, provide comments to assist the Board in determining the railroad industry's cost of capital for 2012. The cost-of-capital figure represents the Board's estimate of the average rate of return needed to persuade investors to provide capital to the freight rail industry. This figure, which is calculated each year, is an essential component of many of the agency's core regulatory responsibilities.
Decided: February 25, 2013
By this decision, we are instituting a proceeding to determine the railroad industry's cost of capital for 2012. The most recent finding regarding the railroad industry's cost of capital was made in Railroad Cost of Capital—2011, EP 558 (Sub-No. 15) (STB served Sept. 13, 2012), which determined the industry's 2011 cost of capital. The cost of capital finding made in this proceeding will be used in the determination of railroad revenue adequacy for 2012. It may also be used in other Board railroad proceedings, including, but not limited to, those involving the prescription of maximum reasonable rate levels; the determination of trackage rights compensation; the proposed abandonments of rail lines; railroad mergers; and applications to purchase feeder lines.
The Cost of Capital for 2012
In this proceeding, we seek comment on the following issues: (1) the railroads' 2012 current cost of debt capital; (2) the railroads' 2012 current cost of preferred equity capital (if any); (3) the railroads' 2012 cost of common equity capital; and (4) the 2012 capital structure mix of the railroad industry on a market value basis. Our conclusions regarding these matters will be used in our computation of the industry's overall, or composite, cost of capital for 2012.2
The railroad industry's cost of capital will be determined on the basis of data for a sample of railroads. Using the criteria set forth in Railroad Cost of Capital—1984, 1 I.C.C. 2d 989 (1985), a railroad will be included in the sample base if it meets all of the following criteria during 2012:
- The company is a Class I line-haul railroad.
- If the Class I railroad is controlled by another company, the controlling company is primarily a railroad company and is not already included in the study frame.3
- The company's bonds are rated at least BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa by
- The company's stock is listed on either the New York Stock Exchange or the American
Stock Exchange.
- The company has paid dividends throughout 2012.
All railroads that meet these criteria shall be included in the sample base for this proceeding. Comments should focus on the various cost of capital components listed above using the methodology followed in Railroad Cost of Capital—2011.
Procedural Matters
All Class I railroads that meet the criteria described above shall be respondents in this proceeding. They shall, and other interested parties may, submit evidence to enable the Board to update the cost of capital findings in Railroad Cost of Capital—2011. Two copies of all underlying workpapers and background material used to develop that evidence shall be furnished to the Board and be made available, upon request, to other participants in this proceeding. The data and information contained in the submitted workpapers must be sufficient to allow replication of the calculations contained therein.
Railroads and others that intend to participate in this proceeding shall file an original and one copy of a notice of intent to participate with the Board by the date specified below. Evidentiary statements are to be filed with the Board on or before the dates set forth below. Comments may be submitted either via the Board's e-filing system or in the traditional paper format. Any person using e-filing should comply with the instructions at the E-FILING link on
the Board's website, at http://www.stb.dot.gov. Any person submitting a filing in the traditional paper format should send an original and 10 copies to: Surface Transportation Board, Attn: Docket No. EP 558 (Sub-No. 16), 395 E Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20423-0001. In addition, the evidence contained in the statement shall be submitted on a compact disc, in MS Word 2010 or a previous version, and spreadsheets shall be in MS Excel 2010 or a previous version.
Notices of intent to participate will be due by March 29, 2013. Statements of the railroads will be due by April 19, 2013. Statements of other interested persons will be due by May 10, 2013. Rebuttal statements by the railroads will be due by May 31, 2013.4
Environmental and Energy Considerations
This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. This proceeding is instituted pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 10704(a)(2) to determine the railroad industry's cost of capital for 2012. Evidence on this matter is required of all Class I railroads that meet the criteria of a sample railroad as described in Railroad Cost of Capital—
1984, and comments are invited from all other interested persons.
2. Notices of intent to participate are due by March 29, 2013. Statements of the railroads are due by April 19, 2013. Statements of other interested persons are due by May 10, 2013. Rebuttal statements by the railroads are due by May 31, 2013.
3. Notice of this decision will be published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2013.
4. This decision is effective on its service date.
By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice Chairman Begeman, and Commissioner Mulvey.
1 The digest constitutes no part of the decision of the Board but has been prepared for the convenience of the reader. It may not be cited to or relied upon as precedent. Policy Statement on Plain Language Digests in Decisions, EP 696 (STB served Sept. 2, 2010).
2 The current cost of debt and market-value based capital structure mix will be used in this cost-of-capital determination. For purposes of consistency, the current cost of preferred equity, if any, will also be used. No consideration will be afforded to evidence depicting the embedded costs of debt or preferred equity or the book value capital structure mix.
3 A company is considered to be primarily in the railroad business if at least 50% of its total assets are devoted to railroad operations.
4 Assuming the Morningstar Ibbotson SBBI Valuation Yearbook will be published on approximately the same date that it was published last year, we are establishing a procedural schedule that is consistent with our revised schedule in Railroad Cost of Capital—2011, Docket No. EP 558 (Sub No. 15). See R.R. Cost of Capital—2011, EP 558 (Sub-No. 15) (STB served Mar. 29, 2012).

I was wondering if this is true and if so is that part of the depressor septi muscle usually cut during rhinoplasty or jyst a smaller part of the muscle? My doctor cut this muscle and I am trying to figure out why my upper lip dropped and does not move properly.
I can also pull the skin of the upper lip at the base of the nose. It feels like there is absolutly no muscle there at all.I can also pull it totally to the right and the left almost to the nasolabial fold.Its like it is not attached at all

René, novel by François-Auguste-René Chateaubriand, published in French as René, ou les effets de la passion in 1805 with a revised edition of Atala (1801). It tells the story of a sister who enters a convent rather than surrender to her passion for her brother. In this thinly veiled autobiographical work, Chateaubriand began the Romantic vogue for world-weary, melancholy heroes suffering from vague, unsatisfied yearnings in what has since been called the mal du siècle ("the malady of the age").

should i brine , inject or do both ???
in your opion what does your family like best ???
Happy Smoking !
Personally I like to make the brine, inject it into the breast, then brine the fresh turkey for 24-48 hrs. I've tried a lot of different ways and length of times to brine and this is what we like best. I also cut back on the amount of salt (using half) but use all the brown sugar in my brine to avoid it being too salty due to the injection. Finally I add a small amount of curing salt #1 to my brine, like 1 tsp for an 18 lb bird. It doesn't cure the turkey but it adds just a smidge of that cured ham flavor to the meat without hiding the turkey flavor. It really compliments the smoked flavor. The thing I hear all the time as soon as people take a bite is "OMG, what did you do to this turkey. It's the best I've ever had."
Have fun at New Years!
I have Brined for many years. This year my Wife allocated the funds for a Grill Beast Injector, heavy duty and well made. I injected a 50/50 blend of turkey fat and broth seasoned with my rub plus extra salt. The mix was a bit too salty to enjoy as a soup but gave the birds a tremendous amount of flavor. I let the birds rest over night. The Skin came out better because it was not water logged from the brine. Got to say, I was pretty impressed...JJ

Concerns about fluoride in water arise in Columbia
Wed, 28 Nov 2012 03:37:56 GMT —
COLUMBIA, Mo -- We drink it everyday in some form or another, but do we really know what's in our water?
According to the Columbia Daily Tribune, one Columbia woman, Amy Bremer, is concerned about the city's addition of fluoride in the water, saying that it has the potential to reduce bone-mineral density and cause birth defects.
But dentists contend it does the opposite.
"When fluoride in the water is at an optimal level, it helps prevent decay, helps strengthen teeth and bones by consuming the tap water basically," said Dr. Johnathan Mallott of Keene Dental Care in Columbia.
Officials at the Columbia Water and Light Department say by adding the fluoride to the water, they are simply following the recommendations of the EPA and the US Health and Human Services Department.
Plus, they say some fluoride is already in the water without their addition.
"In this area we see a lot of naturally occurring fluoride,â?? said spokeswoman Connie Kacprowicz. â??So there's 0.3 milligrams per liter that's naturally occurring in our water, and then we add more fluoride to bring it up to 0.7 milligrams per liter, so it's a very small amount, and that's right within the guidelines of the US government."
Dr. Mallott says that those recommendations fall in line with the scientific research.
"Most of the studies that are done in the United States show that fluoride, at the correct levels, which is less that 1.2 parts per million, is very safe."
Sixth ward councilwoman Barbara Hoppe asked the city staff to look into the facts on fluoride and make a report to the council, which they plan to discuss in further meetings
