What is Accident Scene Management?
Accident Scene Management (ASM) is the leading International motorcycle trauma training organization. We were established in 1996 and are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to reducing injuries and fatalities to motorcyclists through first response education. We teach bystanders and EMTs what to do in order to prevent injuries and fatalities to motorcyclists. Click here to see the Accident Scene Management's Introduction on Slideshare.
Accident Scene Management Classes
Brothers & sisters taking care of each other. ASM classes are motorcycle crash specific! When a trauma results in CPR the victim only has a 1% chance of survival. We must do everything we can to avoid getting to that point!!! ASM classes are for both the average rider and for the Professional Rescuer. What are you willing to do for your fellow rider? What are they willing to do for YOU?

The purpose of the Bystander Assistance Programs are to enhance the survival rate and reduce severity of injuries for the injured riders of all motorized vehicles. We expect to decrease the chance of rescuer injury due to inappropriate actions at the accident scene. We also expect to educate motorists how to protect themselves legally and financially should an accident occur.
Goals and Objectives
The program is directed toward the prompt and safe assessment and treatment of the injured as well as how to prioritize care. We teach Scene Management and explain Good Samaritan Laws.
This course will provide the participant with a heightened awareness of how to respond using the ackronym PACT
- P = Prevent Further Injuries
- A = Assess the Situation
- C = Contact the EMS
- T = Treat the Injured with the ABCSS of Trauma
- A = Airway – Using the Jaw Thrust Technique, lift the Jaw to remove the tongue from the back of the throat to allow a passageway for air
- B = Breathing – If the person does not breathe on their own, assist them with two breathes initially, then one breath every 6-8 seconds
- C = Circulation – In trauma the loss of circulation is most likely from blood loss. In most cases the heart is still working so the focus is on controlling Blood Loss vs Chest Compressions (which may cause a person to bleed out more quickly). Look for and treat External Bleeding First!
- S = Shock – Three kinds of shock are likely to be present: Neurogenic (Head Trauma), Hypovolemic (Blood Loss) and Psychogenic (Psychological) shock. Elevate uninjured legs and stay calm. Gather information from the injured person.
- S = Spinal Immobilization – Minimize movement of the spine, especially the neck.
If you are alone you Prioritize in this order – the only exception being in the event of Massive Bleeding where you will address bleeding first, then breathing.
Gathering & Preserving Evidence at the Scene

Breakfast at Tiffany's??
Nope, not even close. But there might be one on a corner.
An interview with KirbysArt by Skineart.com(Fiction, lol)
SkineArt.com: So Kirby tell us about your masterpiece!
KirbysArt: This is a watercolor version of an excavator in a field. Its not my favorite subject but it caught my eye. I lke the light hitting it and the light in the field with shadows. What really makes it good is the light in the field and the color on the excavator. It took about 20 minutes to do.
SkineArt.com: Sounds interesting. So whats the story behind it?
KirbysArt: Well, one day I was headed to the grocery store and decided to take my camera with me. I was looking for a subject to take a photo of and found this excavator sitting in someones field. I liked the sunlight all around it so I turned around and took a photo. When I got home I painted it.
SkineArt.com: Yes I can sense the bright sunlight. Kirby, what medium did you use?
KirbysArt: I like the Moleskine Sketchbooks and this was done in my watercolor 8″ x 5″. I sketched this in pencil using countour lines like Charles Reid does. Reid's my mentor. The brand I use is W&N artist grade watecolors. I used Cadmium Orange, French Ultramarine Blue, New Gamboge, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, and Burnt Umber and maybe a little Cerulean Blue.
SkineArt.com: What technique would you say you used?
KirbysArt: I use wet on dry, wet into wet, and an occasional dry brush technique like you see in the foreground to the left of the excavator and in the field. I try to let my colors blend on the paper giving the subject a feel of being connected with its surroundings.
SkineArt.com: Do you have a website for people to check you out?
KirbysArt.com: Absolutely, It's http://www.KirbysArt.blogspot.com
SkineArt.com: Well Kirby, sounds really cool! Keep up the awesome painting and sketching, and we hope to see your next masterpiece in here.
KirbysArt: Oh thank you SkineArt.com, its been a pleasure!
The Windshield Repair guy.
Back into the oil fields again.

The Look.
A fun day.
Walking the street. This is another free sketch, just the brush.

Still excited about this having seen it last year, when it was announced the only thing that appealed to me was that Harriet Walter was in it, but everything else was pretty much a turn off. I only saw it as I was offered a £10 seat and then was more bothered about not fainting and rolling into the action but this was Shakespeare as I hadn't seen it before. I've seen modern dress, I've seen great Shakespeare productions but probably none of them surprised me in such a positive way. It didn't work for everyone and there were bits I liked more than others but overall the impact was hard hitting and made me see a play that previously I really wasn't fussed about in a new way.

frequently asked questions
what's your question about?
delivery questions
Currently, graze boxes can only be shipped to US addresses, including P.O. Boxes, within the lower 48 states.
For the time being, graze does not ship to Hawaii, Alaska, APOs, FPOs, or US Territory addresses.
We've only just launched in the US and are working very hard to expand the areas we can deliver to. Keep an eye on our website for changes in the future!
You'll need to order a box to come every two weeks when you sign up, but you can change this after you sign up on your deliveries page to get a box every 4 weeks or, in certain areas of the country, every week.
It takes us a bit of time to prepare and pick your graze box since every box is personalized for you—as soon as it's ready, we mail it out. You can expect your first one to arrive around 10 days after you join graze.
When you join graze, you'll sign up to receive a box every two weeks. We also offer the option of getting your box every four weeks (monthly) and, in certain areas of the country, every week. Boxes can be delivered every day of the year the USPS delivers mail.
No, graze boxes are sent by USPS so they do not require a signature.
Yes. We've designed our boxes so that they will fit in most standard mailboxes.
We always pack and ship your boxes in plenty of time to get to you every time. Because we send all your boxes via USPS however, occasionally they may be held up. If it's well over due, you can let us know here.
This can be done on your deliveries page under 'your regular boxes'. You can postpone your regular boxes one week at a time by clicking on 'when next?' and selecting the week you'd like to receive your next box.
If we've already started preparing your next box, it won't be possible for you to push the delivery date back. Amendments to orders can only be made before your cut-off time.
payment & cancellation questions
Each nibblebox, containing 4 tasty snack packs, costs just $6, including delivery.
In some areas we are able to offer a larger 8 snack pack boostbox, which costs just $10, including delivery.
You pay per box and we take payment up to a week in advance of you receiving your box as we need time to prepare it and send it to you.
Just go to your deliveries page. In 'your regular boxes', select 'more options' then 'cancel this delivery'.
Your cut-off time for making changes to orders can be found next to 'cut-off time?' on your deliveries page.
As long as you cancel before your cut-off time, no more boxes will be sent. If your next box is being prepared when you cancel your regular order, then this final box will still be sent.
You can cancel or make changes to your box at any time online. However, because we start preparing your boxes in advance you need to give us a bit of notice. Your cut-off time for making any changes will be the same each time, please click here to find out your cut-off time.
selection questions
The food in your box is selected based on your own preferences. For each of our foods, you tell us whether you like, love, or would like to try them. We put together your box based on these ratings ensuring you always receive the food you like.
It's really easy to 'trash' everything containing a certain ingredient, (e.g. coconut). Just visit our search page, type the name of the food you want to 'trash' in the search box and voila... all the mixes containing this ingredient will appear. You can then 'trash' away.
Yes, you can change your ratings at any time. In fact we would love you to rate the snacks in every box you receive, so that we can make sure we always send you your favorites.
box questions
We offer two types of boxes, a nibblebox and a caloriecounterbox. Both of our boxes are nutritionally balanced with a great mix of sweet and savory, healthy and tasty food.
Read all about them here to see which box is perfect for you.
We have changed the name of this box to the caloriecounterbox so that it's really clear exactly what this box is all about. It is still all of the lowest calorie snacks from our range with under 150kcal in every pack.
We've designed our graze boxes to fit inside most standard-sized mailboxes, but we know this can vary.
A one time box is an extra box that can be ordered in addition to your regularly scheduled deliveries, you can order a one time box here on your deliveries page.
Yes, you'll need to sign up for an account with graze to be able to order a one time box, but it's really easy, just click here to getstarted.
Yes! One time boxes make great gifts and can be shipped to all US addresses, including P.O. Boxes, within the lower 48 states. We find that many grazers enjoy the ability to include an (optional) personalized message in the booklet which accompanies a one time box.
There's no limit to the number of one time boxes that you can send, so feel free to share the gift of graze with everyone that you know!
One time boxes cost $6.00 just like your regular box. There are no additional costs or fees associated with ordering a one time box.
We'll charge your payment card that's on file for the one time box when you place the order for the box.
The one time box should be received about 7-12 days after you've placed the order. You can check the status of your boxes on your deliveries page.
Since each box is prepared especially for you, we're not able to refund for boxes that are refused or marked as returned to sender. Any boxes that are marked as "return to sender" or "refused" will be disposed of by USPS, and will not be sent back to the graze kitchen. If you no longer wish to receive graze boxes, you can cancel future deliveries here on your deliveries page.
food questions
Just click on each photo in our range and you can see the full ingredients for that product.
While you can use our ratings page to 'trash' any products containing ingredients you cannot eat, all our food is prepared in the same kitchen so we cannot guarantee that our products will be suitable for everyone.
Unfortunately not, we can't guarantee that our products are free from traces of nuts and sesame ingredients since everything is prepared in the graze kitchen. So if you suffer from a nut allergy, you will not be able to graze.
You can track down and 'trash' products containing wheat and gluten using this link. However, we can't guarantee that your boxes will be suitable as all of our recipes are prepared in the same kitchen.
If you're vegan, it's really easy to 'trash' everything unsuitable here. All of our dark chocolate is suitable for vegans.
Trashing our lactose containing mixes and dairy products has never been easier, simply click here and 'trash' accordingly. However, we can't guarantee that your boxes will be suitable as all our recipes are prepared in the same kitchen.
Yes, our sponge pieces contain whole egg and our mini meringues and amaretti drops contain egg white (always free range). However, we can't guarantee that your boxes will be suitable as all our recipes are prepared in the same kitchen.
Though we don't feature organic produce in our boxes, none of our products contain genetically modified ingredients.
We are really proud to say that we avoid using any artificial sweeteners (like aspartame), artificial colors and flavors in our nibbles.
We source ingredients that do not contain hydrogenated oils or trans fats. We do feature margarine in some of our nibbles, such as our flapjacks and wholemeal shortbread dippers, but these are baked using trans-fat free margarine.
The graze nutrition team selects our portion sizes to be both satisfying and nutritious. We provide individual portions of food you can't easily get elsewhere, so you can have a more varied, balanced diet.
seasonal range
Our seasonal range includes all of our Belgian chocolate mixes.
You can view and rate our chocolate nibbles here.
We want our grazers to receive all their products in the best condition possible, so we will only send these nibbles from fall to spring (when temperatures are lower).
While there ain't no mountain high enough, no valley low enough, no river wide enough to keep us from getting your graze box to you, in order for you to receive it as fast as possible it may travel through other parts of the country where temperatures are warmer than where you are.

It's official - Edinburgh is the Fastest Marathon in the UK
The May edition of Runner's World magazine carried out extensive research into which of the 10 most popular marathons for UK runners were the fastest. A single comparison (like average time) could skew the results so Runner's World used 200 different comparisons to establish which was the fastest marathon and the Edinburgh Marathon came out as the fastest marathon in the UK. The course has an elevation drop of almost 40 metres.
We were also rated as the best race of any distance in Scotland in the February edition of Runner's World magazine. It just goes to prove yet again that the Edinburgh Marathon is a must for anyone looking for a PB or just looking for a great race.

STORRS — Most guys go to Disney World after they've won championships. Mike Cavanaugh was offered the job as architect of UConn's hockey future as he was pulling into the place with his family.
"I'll tell you this," Cavanaugh said Thursday at his introductory press conference at the Burton Family Complex. "When you're negotiating your first head coaching contract, trying to do it between Splash Mountain and Space Mountain is not the ideal thing to do."
Some folks on the outside might thumb their nose at what UConn can become as an elite hockey program. Maybe they'll point to the lack of tradition or the immediate shortcomings of campus facilities or the lack of this or lack of that. Yet anybody who has paid attention to what the state's flagship university can do when it puts its resources into something doesn't expect Cavanaugh to go over the edge, splash and forever drown in the Hockey East.
The question — if we may be permitted to extend the Disney metaphor — is will Cavanaugh be better than OK and take the program to celestial places it has never been? Can he orbit with the premier hockey programs in the nation?
"I'm not afraid to say it," Cavanaugh said. "I'm coming here to win national championships."
Let's step back for a moment and consider a major reason why it was a good idea for UConn to finally, mercifully, make the move to big-time hockey. This is a state rich in talent, especially in the prep schools. Some vintage names like Brian Leetch and Craig Janney, to be sure. But more recent names like Ryan Shannon, Cam and Tommy Atkinson, Ben Smith, Tommy Cross and Pat Mullane. They're Connecticut guys who had real impact on college hockey … and they all went to BC, where the lead recruiter was Cavanaugh.
"Those guys played an integral part of our success," said Cavanaugh, 44, whose success as the Eagles' associate coach spans 10 Frozen Fours and four national titles over 18 years. "The homegrown talent is something that attracted me to this job."
It would be idiotic to suggest that Cavanaugh could land every big state name right away or that his recruiting should end at the state line. He'll have to mine plenty of other areas. Look at Quinnipiac, which had one state player this past season. British Columbia got Rand Pecknold into the NCAA title game. National champion Yale didn't have one Connecticut player.
Still, Warde Manuel came right out and said it. A reason that he chose Cavanaugh over George Gwozdecky was his proven elite recruiting record in New England and Connecticut.
Can Cavanaugh make the best kids stay home?
"I don't see why not," he said. "When we got to BC, they said we couldn't recruit Canadians. We went out and got Chuck Kobasew and Krys Kolanos. When we won our first national title [2001], it was Kolanos who scored the goal from Kobasew [in overtime]. We weren't afraid to enter into those waters."
"I have a lot of connections in state, trusted friendships. I don't think it's going to be a problem. Do I think it will be easy? No, I don't think anything is easy in life. But I also understand the kids I have recruited here, they are UConn fans. They have a sense of pride in Connecticut."
Cross texted Cavanaugh on Thursday, saying, "You're moving to the best state in the country."
"It might be challenging at first," Cavanaugh said, "but when we build this program, kids are going to be clamoring to come here."
Some voices from outside Storrs said, hire Gwozdecky, 59, who had won two national titles with Denver. Voices on the inside said, hire interim coach David Berard. In the end, after the search, after all the conversations, Manuel had to answer the voice inside his head. He took Cavanaugh for three reasons: The quality man that he is. What he had helped build at BC. And his track record as a boffo recruiter in the region.
"In the end his success recruiting here was important to me and probably [why I] didn't offer it to George," Manuel said. "I wasn't just looking for a sitting coach based on his record."
All things considered, Manuel made a great choice, even if he accidentally called him Matt, as in the NFL quarterback, once. Cavanaugh quickly pointed out his old boss Jerry York used to do the same.
"Mike has the whole package," said Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna. "He's smart. He's experienced in the league. He's experienced in winning. He is highly respected in the league."
So when did Gov. Malloy, BC man, hockey fan, tell Manuel to hire him?
"About three months ago," Manuel said.

Big Ten football was supposed to be better this season, the experts told us this summer, and the reason was better quarterback play.
Instead, after six weeks, Big Ten football is worse than a year ago — that hurts to type those words, but my eyes aren't lying to me — and the reason is lesser quarterback play.
Ohio State's Braxton Miller, No. 5 in the Heisman Trophy voting a year ago and the media's 2012 league offensive player of the year, suffered a sprained knee early in the season's second game.
He sat out games three and four, then returned to play well in a win over Wisconsin. But last week at Northwestern, Miller was so mistake-prone that Buckeye coach Urban Meyer said he strongly considered switching to fifth-year backup Kenny Guiton.
Miller also hasn't shown the jump-cuts or the explosive running bursts that he has before.
Meyer said Tuesday he thinks Miller is 100 percent, but that the play-calling for him has been conservative because of the injury. Also, discussions are ongoing about using Guiton as a changeup in each game "because we like him," Meyer said.
At Nebraska, four-year starter Taylor Martinez, the Big Ten coaches' pick for offensive player of the year, committed two fourth-quarter turnovers in the opening three-point win over Wyoming.
Two weeks later against UCLA, playing with turf toe, Martinez was mostly ineffective in a 41-21 loss. He hasn't played since because of his injury and sounds doubtful for Saturday at Purdue.
In fact, in listening to the conversations about the offense going forward, it's as if Martinez is an afterthought.
At Michigan, fourth-year junior Devin Gardner looked like the second coming in a prime-time win over Notre Dame, rolling up 376 yards of total offense and five touchdowns.
Since then, he has looked like a second-stringer: three interceptions and 53 percent passing against lowly Akron, then two interceptions, a lost fumble and 48 percent passing against Connecticut, which fired its coach the next day.
|Get the latest Big Ten headlines from The World-Herald and from beat writers around the nation.
At Minnesota, sophomore Philip Nelson started the season No. 1, then was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Nelson returned two weeks ago against Iowa, but was so ineffective that backup Mitch Leidner started last week at Michigan.
Regardless of the quarterback, the Gophers are 106th nationally in total offense and 119th out of 125 teams in passing, with three touchdown passes and five interceptions.
At Purdue, true freshman Danny Etling will make his first collegiate start against Nebraska, replacing fifth-year senior Rob Henry. He moved to safety after struggling to run the West Coast offense installed by first-year coach Darrell Hazell.
And at Michigan State, senior Andrew Maxwell returned this season as the starter. But in the first two games, the Spartan offense was outscored by its defense four touchdowns to two.
That led to a quarterback carousel of Maxwell, sophomore Connor Cook and redshirt freshman Tyler O'Connor, with the threat of pulling the redshirt off of true freshman Damion Terry.
Now, Cook appears to have settled in with a fair showing in a close loss at Notre Dame and a strong effort in last week's win over Iowa.
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio on Tuesday declared the situation resolved, even though MSU still has only three pass completions this season longer than 20 yards.
"We've seen consistency from Connor Cook, and we're excited about his progress," the coach said. "I'm pretty confident he's going to continue to raise his level of play.
"He's getting more comfortable. When he gets to where he is extremely comfortable, you'll see an outstanding quarterback who can do a lot of things."
With the No. 1 defense in the country, allowing 203 yards a game, Michigan State should be in the Legends Division race to the end if it gets even serviceable quarterback play. The schedule also is favorable, and the Spartans already have a Big Ten road win.
"We haven't played our best football yet, but we're coming," Dantonio said. "I've always said when our offense gets a little more confident, things are going to blossom."

kirtu wrote:Hi Luke - because you don't like complications, in general you should be practicing highest yoga tantra or Dzogchen. because they were made for exactly that (people who don't like complications).
Hmm, it's possible that you're correct. Since I've never practiced these things, I can't really say. But I always thought that one had to go through all the lower tantra stuff and that to go directly to practicing HYT or Dzogchen just wasn't considered proper in Tibetan Buddhism. I guess I felt that it was best not to do Tibetan Buddhism at all, rather than to do it "improperly."
kirtu wrote:However for many people, even HYT is complex. So probably you should only practice Dzogchen. However that also means you must trust the guru and like meditation (all the Dzogchen only people will jump in at this point "ungt-oh, Dzogchen is *NOT* meditation, etc. - it's not doing something contrived, etc. , it's simple and all your delusions dissolve into the nature of mind like writing in water, etc. - that's true but for most people it still takes effort because we are severely spiritually polluted and overwhelmed by distractions).
That sounds very beautiful and pleasant, but it begs the question: does one really need a guru to realize the nature of mind?
Did the Zen master Bankei know nothing about the nature of mind?

National Protect Your Identity Week
One might think every week is a good time to protect your identity. Yet designating a special week gives folks like me something to write about. And readers like you continued awareness to the problem of identity theft.
A coalition of both public and private groups have joined forces to promote this year's National Protect Your Identity Week theme of ID Theft Protection on the GO, focusing on smartphone safety.
Sponsors include the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) and the National Association of Triads (NATI). Events are planned nationwide for the week of October 20-27, 2012.
Regular GCFlash readers know the emphasis we put on this important topic. Your online safety, be it mobile or stationary, is our prime concern. Any breach puts your accounts at risk. And we just can't have that.
Yet despite the number of articles we've offered on this topic, fraud still occurs. And as long as it does, you'll continue to find resources here to help you avoid becoming victim.
The simple truth is that people don't believe identity theft can happen to them. If they took this seriously, the most common passwords would not be the word password or 123456.
People aren't anymore creative with their ATM PIN either. A recent study by Data Genetics revealed that 10.713 percent of respondents used 1234 as their PIN, more than the 4,200 lowest used codes combined.
A four-digit code can be fairly easy to crack. There are only 10,000 possible combinations, and people want to use something easy to remember. Like birthdates or addresses. Information someone who stole your wallet has readily in hand.
Anybody can become a victim of identity theft. Consider the story of Joe Tremba described on Experian's website, ProtectMyID.com. Tremba got a collection letter about a past due credit card 18 months after he moved. He only had one credit card that he paid faithfully every month.
He spent hours trying to track down the source to learn an identity thief forged a credit card application sent to his old address. Too much time had passed for Tremba to prove where he was when the fraudulent charges were made. The bank had no way of knowing for certain that he wasn't the one pulling the scam.
His perfect credit history was destroyed. His dreams of buying a home along with it.
Or John Harrison who told his story to CBS News. Harrison had his identity stolen by a 20-year-old who racked up about $265,000 in his name over a period of only four months. He bought two Fords, a Harley-Davidson and a Kawasaki, and opened accounts at Lowes, Home Depot, Sears and J.C. Penny.
The thief was promptly arrested and prosecuted, going to prison for three years. But Harrison is still being harassed for nearly $140,000 of the fraud committed against him over four years ago. Despite hiring a lawyer and following every piece of advice offered by law enforcement officials, the creditors persist.
Mobile phone fraud is on the rise. People still haven't adjusted to the idea that they're carrying a computer around in their hand, and that it needs the same protection as their desktop PC.
We're not going to offer mobile safety tips in this article. We've already covered this topic quite often. To refer back to articles previously published, visit our website. Every page has a search box near the top right where you can easily find anything throughout our entire site. Enter the keywords smartphone safety or identity theft to find relevant articles from past issues of GCFlash.
|On The World Wide Web
Take the quiz to learn if you're a target for identity theft. Learn what your first steps should be if you become a victim. Find consumer tips and much more here.
Identity theft can take years to resolve. Hear first hand the stories shared by victims.

Social Security 2013
There are always telltale signs that another year is about to end. The summer heat gives way to autumn frost. Baseball crowns a new World Series champion. Basketball and hockey get ready to launch a new season. Well, most years at least.
And GCFlash starts printing articles about what changes next year in taxes, IRAs or Social Security so you can start your year-end planning.
We'll kick this season off with things you should know about Social Security.
First, the good news. Retirees will see a 1.7 percent increase in their monthly benefit. In dollars and sense, this means an extra $21 each month for those receiving the average check of $1,240. The maximum benefit of $2,513 per month will be raised to $2,533.
Those still in the workforce will see their contribution rise. A temporary payroll tax cut that reduced deduction to 4.2 percent will expire at the end of December. For 2013, payroll deduction returns to the previous level of 6.2 percent for earnings up to $113,700. The tax cap was $110,100 in 2012.
Working retirees collecting Social Security benefits who are younger than their full retirement age will be able to earn $480 more in 2013 before any portion of their payment is withheld. For those born between 1943 and 1954, that age is 66. These workers will be able to earn up to $15,120, after which point $1 of every $3 earned will be withheld. For retirees turning 66 in 2013, the limit will be $40,080 before earnings are withheld.
Upon reaching full retirement age, you can earn any amount without penalty while collecting Social Security benefits at the same time. Your monthly payments will be adjusted to include benefits that were withheld.
As announced in the October 9th issue of GCFlash, paper Social Security will not send paper checks after March 1, 2013. If you haven't already arranged for direct deposit, it's time to do so.
Nearly 10,000 people will turn 65 every day over the next 20 years. This generation faces challenges unheard of when they started retirement planning. For many, it was already too late to shift gears to properly prepare.
So they're digging a little deeper into Social Security law and finding strategies to maximize their payout.
If it's at all possible, delay filing for Social Security benefits until you reach your full retirement age. Your benefits are decreased by 5/9 percent of your primary insurance amount for the first 36 months and 5/12 percent for each additional month you collect early.
You may delay collecting benefits until age 70. Those who do will receive a 2/3 percent credit for each month payment was delayed.
Unmarried children under the age of 18 are eligible for benefits if their parent is retired, disabled or deceased. If they're still in elementary or high school, they can collect until age 19. There is a maximum family benefit, so amounts they receive would reduce that of another family member.
A surviving spouse can receive benefits at age 60. They don't have to wait until their own eligibility kicks in before filing a claim on their spouse's account.
Divorced? As long as the marriage lasted at least 10 years, you qualify for benefits on your deceased ex-spouse's record. The current surviving spouse's benefits are not affected.
But if the divorced spouse remarries before reaching the age of 60, they can't collect unless the subsequent marriage ends. If they remarry after age 60, the money is theirs.
Social Security rules are complex. They have to be in order to protect those in a wide range of situations. Contact your accountant or financial advisor to learn how to use this entitlement to your best advantage.
Tip of the Week
The Medicare open enrollment season has begun. Seniors can change their plan options now through December 7th. Health situations change, as do policy particulars. It's important to use this annual period to review your plan to determine if it's still the best one to fill your needs. If you have an elderly family member or neighbor, discuss this with them to assure they take advantage of this opportunity.
Financial Insights
Economic Growth Should Not Be Elusive
My previous prediction that the U.S. markets would trade sideways until after the election may have been overly optimistic. Today, all U.S. indices were off more than one percent as a string of weak earnings reports spooked the markets. Bellwether companies such as 3M, UPS and DuPont all announced revenue and earnings reports that were disappointing - in one way or another. So I change my prediction: The U.S. Markets will at best trade sideways, with at least some chance they will face further downside until after the election.
But I thought the economy was recovering, you ask. Well that depends on how you measure a recovery. It is true that the "Great Recession" officially ended in the summer of 2009, more than three years ago. But unlike most modern recessions, this one was not followed by robust growth. Instead the economy lumbered along, eking out positive growth, albeit barely.
So, while there has not been "two consecutive quarters of negative growth" recently, which is the technical definition of a recession, the rates of growth have not been strong enough for a rebound in corporate earnings or a reduction in the unemployment rate. At just under 8 percent, the unemployment rate is double that number if those who have given up the job search are accounted for. So with 15 percent of the workforce unemployed in some fashion or another, it is no wonder that U.S. companies are reporting weak results. Unemployed people don't spend much and consumer demand is responsible for as much as two thirds of total demand.
Last week I promised you a recipe for higher GDP growth. The answer is simple and the empirical evidence is overwhelming. Improve the business climate. There are many potential steps of which I will name a few:
- Lower taxes, particularly corporate taxes. The U.S. has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world. It hurts growth and exasperates unemployment.
- Reduce regulations. Many, perhaps most, regulations are well-intentioned. But they are often at the expense of growth and thus jobs.
- Invest in public infrastructure. The military, roads, bridges, airports, the power grid, and even electronic payment clearing systems are all indisputably public goods. We should build and maintain the best in the world. Period. And while we undeniably have the greatest military in the world, the state of some of the others I mentioned is nothing short of a disgrace. The economic activity created by a highway, bridge or airport dwarfs its construction cost over time - almost without exception. And the military protects such assets from our enemies, too numerous to mention.
- Strengthen institutions. There are two absolutely essential components of all prosperous societies: Free markets and strong institutions. For example, it should not take 1,000 days for a home lender to foreclose on collateral when a borrower defaults (the NJ timeline at present). It may sound "compassionate" to delay the process for the beleaguered borrower, but it is at the expense of thousands of qualified borrowers who cannot get new mortgage loans because lenders have their capital tied up unduly for a ridiculous amount of time.
The list goes on, but you get the point. All these impediments to business add up over time until the point is reached whereupon growth ceases. We are almost there, and Europe is likely already there.
Bottom line: Until the U.S. restores a business friendly environment, low growth and high unemployment will likely persist. Our current economy is Exhibit A.

GCF maintains your e-mail address in a confidential and secure database along with much of your other account information, such as mailing address and telephone number, etc. Before aggregating our e-mailing list each week, we filter out any duplicates. In most cases, this inhibits the unintended e-mailing of multiple copies of GCFlash to a single e-mail address. However, because these account records are kept by both individual and account, there is a chance members of the same household could each receive a copy of GCFlash or any other transmission at the same e- mail address - resulting in multiple copies. For example, a husband and wife that both have accounts with GCF may both receive a copy because the names are different but listed at the same e-mail address. This is similar to the manner in which each individual may share a common telephone number. To handle this situation, GCF recommends you simply delete any extra copies of GCFlash as this will ensure that ALL individuals receive any future promotional mailings, which might only be targeted or offered to specific accountholders meeting certain criteria. GCF has the capability to suppress customer e-mail addresses so they are omitted from our transmission list. If you would rather have a specific household member's e-mail address suppressed in our electronic database, simply send us a reply, as stated below, and indicate the accountholder for which you would like to have e-mail suppressed. Please keep in mind that this suppression will mean that NO future e-mails are sent, including special promotional offers.

Pinole >Food & Dining > Original Red Onion
2870 Pinole Valley Rd, Pinole, CA | Directions 9456437.993362 -122.285815
Great little diner- SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!!! – The Original Red Onion is the only Red Onion worth visiting. There may be a little wait to sit down, but that just tells you that a lot of people want to eat there. It's great to be able to support a business in Pinole that is owned by an independent, rather than a fast food chain. The burgers taste fresh, and are big enough to share. I also like that they fry all of there onion rings and french fries in a special oil that doesn't have trans fats. You can also get breakfast, and many nights they are open until 10pm....very conveinient!
Bad service, Worse food – I ordered a Burger and Onion Rings and they couldn't get it right! The burger had mayo all over it when I asked for it without and the rings never even made it to the table - I was done with my burger and they hadn't even started the rings yet. The waitress didn't care that I was unhappy and she didn't care that they botched the order. The food was no better than McDonalds on a bad day. These people don't deserve to be in business.
Great Food and place – The owner is very friendly and a great guy to talk to! I loved going there as a student at Pinole Valley High and still enjoy going back for the great food and service. This is everything you want in an "All American Meal" of burgers, fries and a milkshake. They also have a good breakfast menu! Great place all around and I hope it stays in business for years to come!
danjkelley – Serve out standing breakfasts and great hamburgers for lunch or dinner. Excellent service owner is extremely friendly and outgoing, would recommend to anyone.

With all the talk about the "new normal" in today's economy, one can not only appreciate that times are indeed tough, but that much of the news media is still trading in yesterday's headlines.
As Warren Buffett has observed, "The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth." Perhaps more than ever before, we are all investors: buyers and sellers engaged in pursuing a better product or service, building a better brand or achieving long-term financial success.
In many ways, the "new normal" has refocused attention on a primary performance metric ubiquitous across all businesses, all industries and all job functions: return on investment (ROI). (It's not unusual for such a "back-to-the-basics" trend to emerge at this stage in the business cycle.)
Studies have shown that thermal imaging—or infrared inspection—has an ROI of 4-to-1. That is, on average, for every $1 spent on infrared electrical inspections, there's a $4 return on investment for materials and labor associated with fixing a problem before it results in some type of equipment or system failure. That's an exceptional payback, but not too long ago, only a relative few owned an infrared camera. Today, we see infrared everywhere.
With a mindset toward improving our customers' ROI, FLIR has led on two main fronts: cost and innovation. At under $1600, our new generation of ultra-affordable thermal imagers offers an exceptional price-to-value ratio.
True to the nature of many innovations—just look at Apple's success—we find that most customers, regardless of industry or application, get excited when new technologies are intuitive and easy to use. That's why we conduct focus groups and one-on-one interviews with end-users each year at InfraMation (www.inframation.com), the world's largest infrared camera applications conference.
FLIR's low-cost and ease-of-use advantages deliver breakthrough ROI technology to in-house maintenance, engineering and electrical staff. This 24/7 access to infrared is ideal whether personnel are trying to extend the life of capital equipment; reduce energy loss from the building envelope; inspect HVAC, roofing or electrical systems; or monitor problematic equipment such as pumps and motors. It's also ideal for inspecting another vendor's installation or repair work. In fact, FLIR infrared cameras often pay for themselves with just a few uses.
Familiarity with thermal imaging also allows workers to tap into our rental pool of specialty thermal imagers. For example, FLIR's "optical gas imaging" cameras can detect small gas leaks with volatile organic compounds (VOCs), methane, carbon monoxide, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and any number of other industrial chemicals—i.e., greenhouse gas emissions.
Our thermal imagers can see clearly through flames in high-temperature industrial furnace applications, highlighting the "scaling" or "coking" that greatly reduces efficiency. They also can see clearly through darkness, smoke or fog.
FLIR also offers night-vision-enabled perimeter security—a "thermal fence" if you will—for chemical, nuclear, biological and other sensitive facilities. We can even set up a thermal inspection system to monitor product quality or catch manufacturing defects.
We're on a never-ending mission at FLIR: a mission to make our end-users successful by helping them achieve exceptional ROI through thermal imaging. MT

Calgary Wedding Coordination and Design — Kirby and Jared
It can be risky at times to plan an outdoor wedding in Calgary but Mother Nature gave us a scorcher of a day for Kirby and Jared's wedding!
I first met Kirby at Shellene and Jeff's Las Vegas destination wedding, and I was more than happy when Kirby asked me to be part of her wedding in Calgary. Kirby and Jared wanted an elegant affair to celebrate with their friends, but they definitely have an edgier style, and I love how it showed in the details of their wedding day.
The ceremony took place on the luscious greens of Spruce Meadows and the reception was held in the gorgeous British House where guests enjoyed cocktails, a great meal and dessert by Great Events and hip music from a DJ spinning House and club remixes. The stunning decor by Great Events was complemented by the simple, but sophisticated florals from Corina at Dutch Touch and glittery black stationery by Jamie Martin. The dramatic lighting from Stardust Event Group pulled everything together.
Anna and Chris from Cineart Photography were the perfect match for Kirby and Jared's edgy style, and these awesome photos are the result. Enjoy!
Thank goodness Kirby and Jared thought ahead and ordered custom water bottles for their ceremony to alleviate the heat!
An example of the style and cool factor hit by their wedding guests…
Kirby and Jared, it was such a pleasure working with you and your family and friends! I wish you nothing but the best in your long future together.
If you would like fun and relaxed wedding experience like this, email us for a complimentary initial meeting or use our contact form.
Love and wedded bliss,
Calgary Wedding Planner and Designer

Every trim tab is sheared and bent, not welded. Welding alters the properties of stainless steel which invites corrosion. Bennett actuators feature through-hull hydraulics. There are no vulnerable external hoses to decay. Plus, every Hydraulic Power Unit is tested by both person and computer to insure this reliable unit deflects the trim tabs, holds firmly during use, and retracts smoothly.
