Lake Elmo, MN (CNN)-In her campaign for president, Michele Bachmann touts her background as a small business owner.
"A small business job creator," is how the Minnesota Congresswoman and Republican Presidential candidate described herself in her first campaign ad in Iowa.
That business is Bachmann and Associates. It's a Christian counseling service located outside Minneapolis. Bachmann started the center with her husband, Marcus who is the lead counselor at the clinic. The aspiring first couple and their children are pictured on the center's web site.
For at least five years, Bachmann and Associates has faced accusations it uses a controversial therapy that encourages gay and lesbian patients to change their sexual orientation.
Andrew Ramirez, a former patient at Bachmann and Associates, said in an interview with CNN he witnessed the practice first-hand. In 2004, Ramirez turned to the clinic at the urging of his mother who wanted him to talk about his homosexuality.
Just 17 at the time, Ramirez said he was immediately skeptical of what one of the clinic's counselors told him.
"It was therapy that would help me change from being homosexual to straight," Ramirez said. "If I did this and worked his therapy program, God would perform a miracle and I could no longer be gay," Ramirez added he was told.
Ramirez was assigned a therapy program consisting of prayer, reading Bible passages, and mentoring with an ex-lesbian minister. If none of that worked, Ramirez said the counselor had another suggestion.
"Not acting out on my same sex attractions and living a life of celibacy," Ramirez said.
After the second session, Ramirez told his mother, Beth Shellenbarger, he wanted to stop the therapy.
"And I could just hear his voice quiver and I just said, 'you know, Andy, if you're good with being gay then I am too,'" Shellenbarger said.
The American Psychological Association is sharply critical of efforts by counselors to change a patient's sexual orientation, what's known in the mental health community as "reparative therapy."
"There is insufficient evidence to support the use of psychological interventions to change sexual orientation," one APA report said.
Marcus Bachmann has suggested parents of gay teenagers can turn to religion for help.
In an interview last year with the "Point of View" talk radio program, Bachmann was asked how parents should deal with a teenager who thinks he or she is gay.
"I think you clearly say 'what is the understanding of God's word on homosexuality,'" Bachmann said. "We have to understand barbarians need to be educated. They need to be disciplined and just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn't mean we're supposed to go down that road," he continued.
In 2006, Bachmann denied his clinic engaged in reparative therapy to "City Pages," a Minneapolis newspaper. "That's a false statement," Bachmann said. "If someone is interested in talking to us about their homosexuality, we are open to talking about that. But if someone comes in a homosexual and they want to stay homosexual, I don't have a problem with that," he continued.
This week, a gay rights group called "Truth Wins Out" released to CNN a hidden camera video recorded by one of its activists who posed as a patient at Bachmann and Associates.
In the video reviewed by CNN, a counselor can be heard suggesting homosexuality can be treated at the center, to varying degrees of success.
"You can actually leave homosexuality completely and become heterosexual?" the undercover activist asked on the video. "Definitely," the counselor responded. "It's happened before. It really has," the counselor added.
But the counselor cautioned he is not an expert on the subject.
"I don't have a ton of experience with this. I mean, a little bit here and there," the counselor added.
Michele Bachmann has a long history of controversial views on homosexuality.
As a senator in the Minnesota legislature in 2004, Bachmann called for an amendment to the state constitution that would block gay marriages in other states from being recognized in Minnesota.
"If we allow this to happen, group marriage, polygamy, and much worse would not be far behind," Bachmann said in a video to her supporters.
In an appeal to socially conservative Iowa voters earlier this month, she signed a "Marriage Vow" pledge that also equated same sex couples with polygamists.
Both Bachmann and her husband declined to discuss the clinic's practices. A secretary at the clinic referred all questions to the Bachmann presidential campaign. A sign on the center's door says "no media."
A statement released by her presidential campaign said the Bachmanns were unable to comment on the clinic's practices out of respect for its patients.
"The Bachmann's are in no position ethically, legally, or morally to discuss specific courses of treatment concerning the clinic's patients," the statement said.
The issue has followed Bachmann onto the campaign trail. Asked about the clinic's practices at an event in Iowa Monday, Bachmann dodged the question.
"Well, I'm running for the presidency of the United States. And I'm here today to talk about job creation," Bachmann told WHO-TV. "We're very proud of the business that we've created," she added.
So she's a christian religious nut, are we surprised?
Of course she's the republicans' front-runner; she's a deluded religious whacko and the darling of the tea party: what more have we come to expect from them? Bachman is best described as a cartoon of herself; her very candidacy makes a mockery of the elections process!
Wake up Babylon. Homosexuality is unacceptable, and always has been. It is a sin and Christians advising sinners to repent and change their ways is not newsworthy. It's sad that this sin has gained such a legitmacy in society that this story has any traction. It would be more shocking if a Christian counseled gays to stay the way they are.
"It was therapy that would help me change from being homosexual to straight," Ramirez said. "If I did this and worked his therapy program, God would perform a miracle and I could no longer be gay," Ramirez added he was told.
I need a little more precision with the 'God would perform a miracle' part.
I have a therapy program that helps Christians become rational, caring, tolerant people. I call it an education.
Whatever her view on Gays are, she is about using her business acumen to run the government. Simple fact, a business owner knows nothing about running a government. A government is a non profit organization with a purpose for service not sales. Does Michelle Bauchman know anything about raising funds for something that will not earn a revenue? Does she or any other business person in the country for that matter, understand that if you take a loan to run a program that doesn't profit(all government programs are non profit) that the interest and fees on that loan raise the cost of the program and guarantees that the program will run over budget and will have a shortfall? This is simple math that any elementary student can do, but the biggest and brightest of our political and business minds don't understand. Michelle Bauchman can run her clinic to cure gays all she wants but she will never be able to create a single job as a politician because the Government doesn't create jobs if they aren't needed. It simply creates temporary employment opportunities and most of those jobs are farmed out to contractors who take 50% or more of the money to fund the jobs and the employees get about 10% of that (Pulling numbers from a hat. Look it up and learn the truth). She can't cure gays any more than she can turn around our economy or anything else in this country using her business skills.
WOW. Why can't a politician want a smalll government and leave social issue alone.
It must be hard to achive the clinic's mission when the disgusting appearance of Bachmann herself could make any man find gay sex more appealing.
And if I'm not mistaken, their clinic has accepted 133.000.00 in Medicaid funds. Ouch.
I am so glad that groups like "Truth Wins Out" are keeping the candidates honest. Homophobia is no longer acceptable. People have seen the damage it does to teens and young adults and what this form of BIGOTRY to stop. Candy coating it with religious dogma doesn't stop it from being prejudicial and hate-filled! Time for the homophobia to stop! Gay right are civil rights!
Stuff like this disgusts me. This has been disproved numerous times, and completely looked down on by the The American Medical Association, The American Psychiatric Association, The American Psychological Association, The American Psychoanalytic Association, The American Academy Of Pediatrics, The National Association Of Social Workers. But they're not THAT prestigious...
These religious people like Bachman and palin are extremely dangerous to society in general. Both of them will only see the inside of the White House with at ticket and a tour guide.
I think Michele Bachmann should not be allowed to have it both ways, I would like to know what is she really for?
Michelle Bachmann has no problem expressing her views on topics such as homosexuality etc. I share her views. I am familiar with the arguments made here for curing homosexuality and while these techniques don't always work, they do work a lot proving that the question of homosexuality being genetic just isn't "the gospel" as many people claim. However, I'm not really sure what this has to do with her qualifications to be president. You'd have to look at her voting record, education etc. for that. Her views on homosexuality are a very minor consideration for 99% of Americans.
As each day passes, it gets more and more interesting with this woman. And I don't mean that in a complimentary way. Good golly miss molly, what planet does this woman live on?
I hope Rep. Bachmann wins the Republican nomination. Barry & co. would clean her clock.
So with counseling a straight person could also be turned into a gay person? Does anyone really believe that could be done?
Anyone else tired of gay psychiatrists dominating the media with their points of view? Homosexual acts are revolting and all the gay news service quoting gay psychiartrists doesn't change that.
It's incredible that in the 21st century it has essentially become illegal for a psychiatrist to treat homosexuality as a mental illness, which for some people it actually is. There is plenty of evidence that people who are sexually abused at a young age can become confused about their sexual orientation later in life. Why shouldn't such people be given the option of seeking treatment? Fifty years from now the world is going to be appalled that society actually restricted care to people who wanted and needed it, simply because it was not politically correct to allow it.
The Bachmann Clinic does try to "cure" homosexuals and suggests using porn to change a gay man's view of a woman. This clinic also gets government subsidies to survive. Bachmann and her husband are "christian" nuts engaging in therapy they are not qualified to do and has been proven to not work and actually cause harm to the homosexual. All it adds is misery and denial to who a person really is.
I think Bachmann's husband is gay and overcompensating wtih 5 children and a love-less marriage. Michelle has even said she never wanted to marry Marcus but "God told her to". Maybe she thought it was her job to reform him.
Who knows with these two? They are ignorant extremists who take government handouts and then crticize the government for giving them.
Bachmann is no leader. With all her years in Congress she has never introduced ANY legislation. She just takes up space while spewing her extremist views, hate for anyone different from her, and lies about the issues. If she cannot even remember the most basic parts of our American history, how can she be trusted to understand the issues she rambles on about?
Investigate her clinic and her husband's past. She is not what she pretends to be.
You have to really wonder about Minnesotans' that they elected her. If she gets anywhere near the White House, we might as well declare our country theocracy. Give me a social liberal AND fiscal conservative Republican then you get my vote. We are not in Salem anymore Toto, er Bachmann!
"I think you clearly say 'what is the understanding of God's word on homosexuality,'"
What is his position on pork and pork farmers? still capital punishment for all of it?
I've been following this story for several weeks now. It's simply amazing that a man who is quite obviously gay (Marcus Bachmann) is running a pray-the-gay-away clinic.
What this article neglected to mention is the mountain of money the "clinic" collects each year in Medicare/Medicaid payments. Isn't Michele Bachmann angling to wipe out those programs?
Finally, the article here doesn't address the fact that no one has yet been able to verify that Marcus Bachmann is actually a doctor. We already know he's NOT a licensed psychologist in Minnesota, but there are no records of what his "doctoral" degree is actually in. But to refer to Marcus Bachmann as a "doctor" of any stripe appears to be a stretch. Other than that, they seem to be running a tidy little business.
All Republicans need to sign a pledge to attend treatment at Bachmanns clinic!!
Michele Bachmann seems to have all of the answers to all of the problems this country is facing. There is one problem though, she is not using facts to back up her statements. When she tries to do so she winds up giving incorrect information. Her lack of knowledge of U.S. history certainly is should show those who think our youth do not know about the history of the U.S. cringe. The truth is that most Americans do not have a full grasp of history. However they should know where to get the information they need from credible sources. Ms. Bachmann should do the same.

Limit state EQU, dealing with static equilibrium, is defined as:
Loss of static equilibrium of the structure... considered as a rigid body, where minor variations in the [actions or their distribution]... are significant, and the strengths of... materials ... are generally not governing.
Limit state EQU does not occur when the destabilizing design effects of actions Ed,dst are less than or equal to the stabilizing design effects Ed,stb:
as illustrated in Figure 2.6.
as illustrated in Figure 2.6.
For example, consider a motorway gantry (see Figure 2.7) subjected to a design horizontal wind load Pd = 250kN acting at a height h = 7.5m above the base of the gantry. The design destabilizing (i.e. overturning) moment about the toe of the structure MEd,dst is given by:
If the design self-weight of the gantry is Wd = 1600kN and its base width B = 2.5m, then the design stabilizing (i.e. restoring) moment about the toe
MEd,stb is:
M", iU = W, x - = 1600kN x -— = 2000kNm Ed, stb d 2 2
M", iU = W, x - = 1600kN x -— = 2000kNm Ed, stb d 2 2
Limit state EQU is therefore avoided (in the direction of the wind), since:
Mr , , . = 1875kNm < M", = 2000kNm Ed, dst Ed, stb
In this book, we define the 'utilization factor' for the EQU limit state as the ratio of the destabilizing and stabilizing effects:
For a structure to satisfy design requirements, it must have a utilization factor less than or equal to 100%. If A exceeds 100%, although it may not necessarily lose equilibrium, the structure is less reliable than required by the Eurocodes. For the motorway gantry of Figure 2.7:

In July, we told you about Canberra man Shane Stroud's plans to ride across Australia on a recumbent bike. Well, he's done it.
Shane started his pushbike ride at Fremantle on August 2, arrived home in Canberra on August 26 and completed the last leg of his coast-to-coast odyssey to Moruya on September 1.
Along the way he raised nearly $5000 for Legacy and the Salvation Army.
His trans-continental trike trek covered 3,997.7km - to be exact - taking 25 days of riding at an average cycling speed of 23km/h, and covering a daily average of 159.9km per day.
Shane rode two consecutive days covering more than 200km per day, which he says "isn't bad for a middle-aged fat man on three wheels".
Shane rode an Australian-made Greenspeed Magnum XL recumbent trike and was supported by his father, Garry Stroud from Monash, who drove the safety and support vehicle across the country behind his son.
Shane says one of the highlights of the trip was spending a month with his father. Another was experiencing many places in Australia that most people never get to see.
"Travelling across the country at your own pace and getting to see everything along the way isn't something the average person normally has the opportunity to do," he said.
Shane said every day brought a different challenge and the experience was one he would treasure for the rest of his life.
"After 21 years as an infantry officer, it wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done, but is was certainly far from the easiest," he said.
"It was also one of the most satisfying things I have ever done and I would certainly recommend it as an achievable adventure."
Shane has now returned to work as a public servant.
"I don't plan on doing anything like it again in the foreseeable future. It was primarily a personal goal and that itch has now been scratched," he said.
Shane's advice is to "follow your dream because you never know where it may take you".
Shane's Facebook page, providing day-to-day coverage of his trip, can be found here.

The moon has silently circled the Earth for billions of years, striking awe and mystery in humans since we first gazed upon it. With all of our history of revering the moon, it's not surprising that our celestial companion would make for a terrific costume idea. This costume is fun and easy to make, using a papercraft technique called paper mache. Wear black clothes underneath it for the full nighttime effect.
Inflate the beach ball as much as you can.
Tear the newspaper and computer paper into 6-inch squares.
Mix a paper mache paste by combining equal parts white glue and water in an old plastic container.
Dip the first piece of newspaper into the paste and smooth it down against the beach ball.
Cover the entire beach ball in overlapping squares of paste-soaked newspaper. Leave the area around the inflation nozzle uncovered.
Cover the beach ball in a second layer of newspaper squares, then in two layers of computer paper squares. The computer paper layers will prevent any newsprint from showing through the paint.
Hang the beach ball from the ceiling by tying a string to its nozzle. Allow it to dry completely.
Deflate and remove the beach ball from the paper mache ball.
Cut a hole in the bottom of the paper mache ball large enough to allow you to slip it on like a shirt. Cut holes for your head and arms.
Paint the ball with a very pale grey base coat. You may only use a few drops of black to an entire bottle of white, but the paint should not be perfectly white.
Allow the base coat to dry.
Paint the features of the moon with different shades of grey paint. Don't use black, dark grey should be the heaviest shade that you use.
Most recent
- For a more sparkly moon, spray the finished costume with spray adhesive and sprinkle silver glitter onto it.

Beginning in 2015, the European Union (EU) will require origin labeling on certain meat products.
The measure, which was approved by a majority of member states in the Standing Committee on Food Chain and Animal Health last week, will require origin labels on chilled, frozen and fresh pork, poultry, sheep and goat meat. In addition to origin, the labels also will include information on where the animal was raised and slaughtered. Similar rules already exist for beef products.
"Under these rules, EU consumers will be able to know where the meat they buy comes from – a demand they clearly have expressed," a statement from the EU read.
The rules will go in effect on April 1, 2015 to allow businesses to come into compliance with the rules. It originally was proposed in September.
Country-of-origin labeling (COOL) recently went in effect in the U.S.; however, the law is at the center of a legal battle and a trade dispute that has been submitted to the World Trade Organization for review.

Uncharacteristic sounds at conversation of crew members
Having read article «On record of negotiations of crew А321 caught «uncharacteristic sounds», I remembered one of episodes of the practical activities in Aeroflot.
So it turned out that instructions of the chief of laboratory A and REO to record dialogue between crew members of Tu-134 at whom during performance of flight one of engines refused were one of the first tasks for me in the beginning of my labor activity.
In those far times (more than thirty years ago) record of negotiations of crew was carried out on magnetic recorder MS-61.
It was the tape recorder of the small size and the weight which was writing down negotiations of pilots on thin (is thinner than a human hair) a wire which lengths sufficed approximately at three o'clock the flight, fixed in a round cap of orange color. Therefore, if the plane carried out longer on time flight, two tape recorders were established.
It should be noted that quality of record was not "fountain", but speech of crew members could be distinguished quite distinctly. Besides the thin wire was quite often torn and it needed to be fastened in special knot (which on one Babin there was an uncountable set) that also negatively affected quality of record. Later (I still found this time) passed to magnetic recorders with an ordinary recorder tape which was twice wider usual that was sharply reflected in a positive side in quality of record.
So, I turned on the tape recorder and began to write down methodically all negotiations of pilots among themselves and dispatchers …
From the moment of take-off before ascent of the set echelon abusive words met quite seldom. As soon as the autopilot was included, the situation sharply changed: crew members started to tell each other such "salty" jokes, what even at me for want of habit «завяли» ears – a mat on a mat and a mat drive. How to record all this nonsense?
All this "concert" proceeded with insignificant breaks till alarm system operation about refusal of one of engines. The quiet phrase of the commander of the aircraft (KVS) was remembered:
– Well, х*я to itself, бл*дь! And at us the cursor of the p*zdy was covered!
It is necessary to pay tribute to crew: a panic or even any tension in their actions even it was not felt – operated strictly according to the instruction in a quiet and business situation, every minute reporting on the dispatcher on situation onboard, without forgetting to use foul language from time to time. The plane without special problems reached and landed on one engine – passengers anything even did not guess.
During the whole remained time of flight "salty" jokes any more were not poisoned, but the crew found to itself other occupation, discussing that fact that the device of turns of the stopped engine showed about 70 % from working turns at the expense of an air pressure …
As a result, I was compelled to address to the immediate superior with a question, to write down to me mats or not in all details?
My chief of, having heard to some minutes of the written-down conversation, itself swore and for a long time reflected. Eventually it found a way out: caused to itself this crew and let's to them hear to record of their conversation during flight.
To understand all humour of a situation, it would be necessary to see really the amazed ugly faces of pilots, with undisguised surprise glancing that on the tape recorder, on us, at each other: unless it we so talked? And "it" (MS-61) wrote down all this? Well, x. to itself!
More shortly, got rid of protocol drawing up on pilots. What they there wrote, I do not know, but since then «uncharacteristic sounds» at negotiations between crew members during flight decreased in hundreds times …

text: Impostor syndrome (also spelled imposter syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a term coined in 1978 by clinical psychologists Dr. Pauline R. Clance and Suzanne A. Imes referring to high-achieving individuals marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud".[1] Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they believe themselves to be. Some studies suggest that impostor syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving women,[2] while others indicate that men and women are equally affected. -Wikipedia

Year-End Wizard
The solution has been enhanced to include a year-end wizard which will step you through all of the necessary steps for closing out a year and preparing the system for the next years monthly reporting. This process includes verifying existing information, ensuring prerequisite information is in place for the reporting year, creating, reviewing, printing and emailing/mailing the IRS forms as well as automatically creating next year's setup information. You will be able to easily see progress along the way and save your work as you go. The wizard will also assist you in sending your final forms to the IRS.
Removed IRS Mandated Values
You will no longer need to key in values for the Federal Poverty Line Amount and Percentage and the Break in Service Weeks. Instead, we will auto-populate these values for the appropriate year.
Easier Viewing of Year-End Information
We have added new reports to more easily review 1094-C & 1095-C information. In addition, new user interface components have been added to make it easier to preview your IRS forms. A new page has been added to allow you to see all forms previously created within the system.
Inactivate Your Accounts
System administrators can now inactivate user accounts to ensure certain users cannot access the system after an employment change, like termination or position changes.
Enhanced Company Selection
The solution has been enhanced to allow you to more easily select the appropriate company record, displaying information like EIN and company name, as well as a new "DBA" designation for companies that share an EIN.
Year-End Close Enhancements
The year-end closing process (the coding of the 1094/5-C forms) has been enhanced to handle some previously challenging user scenarios. The process can now more easily handle employees that work for multiple companies, have position changes, become subject to different health plans or measurement periods or have service breaks. For multi-EIN self-insured employers, your account can now be configured to identify the company which sponsors the ACA plan to ensure Part III of the 1095-C is populated for the correct company. The 1094-C prerequisites have been modified for the 2016 reporting year. The year-end close process will now allow closing entire control groups at once rather than one company at a time. Break in service calculations have been added to the year-end process. These enhancements will ensure forms are properly coded for the correct companies.
Tracking Employment History
The solution has been enhanced to allow you to track historical employment information in order to ensure the system can correctly track changes in employment that may affect health insurance eligibility determinations. The import process has been enhanced to automatically create history records when importing changes, either through the Upload & Import Utility or through a connection from ERP systems.
ACA Employment Status Tracking
The solution will now allow you to assign an "ACA Employment Status" separate from an employment status. You no longer must change an employee's employment status in order to properly configure an employee for eligibility and ALE determinations. The ACA Status Utility has been enhanced to allow you to automatically assign the correct ACA Employment Status based on hours of service. Employees can be set to be "Form Exempt", allowing their service hours to be included in ALE determinations and 1094-C calculations without having a 1095-C form created for these employees.
2016 IRS Form and e-Filing Schema Changes
The solution has been enhanced to include the ability to print the IRS forms using the new 2016 IRS form layouts. The new allowed values for line 14 (1J/1K) are now supported. In addition, the system has been enhanced to support the new IRS schemas for e-filing the 2016 reporting year forms. However, this functionality will not be enabled until sometime in January of 2017 when the IRS begins accepting the new schema changes.
1095-C Line 15 Overrides
You can now upload special transactions (Type 4) to override the line 15 amounts on the 1095-C. Rather than using values from the ACA plan, the solution now allows the year-end close process to calculate unique line 15 amounts for different employees.
Dynamics GP Cloud Connector enhancements
The following changes have been made to enhance usability within Dynamics GP
• Part-time employees stored as "Interns" within Dynamics GP can be stored as part-time in the Integrity ACA solution
• An employee ID range has been added for uploading employees
• Hourly & unit based transactions can now be factored by a multiplier as they are sent to the ACA solution
• Non-employee exports can be restricted based on the employees being sent to the ACA solution
• The main window has been simplified to ease use of the connector

Power List Of 100 Popular Celebrities: Press Survey Rankings
Instead of ranking the most powerful celebrities in the world by wealth or earnings during the year, this unique Forbes list ranks the most powerful celebrities in the world in terms of their press exposure. Interestingly, neither the top-earning celebrity of 2011 nor the most-powerful celebrity from 2011 ranked at the top of this list.
For the year ending in May 2011, professional tennis player Roger Federer aced the course in press mentions and comes in ranked at the top of the most powerful celebrity in terms of publicity. While pop star and most powerful person of the year Lady Gaga came in second, athletes certainly ruled this list.
Fellow tennis star Rafael Nadal, soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo, golfer Tiger Woods and NBA star LeBron James made up the remainder of the top six. It wasn't until the seventh spot on the list where another non-sports star appeared. That celebrity, Oprah Winfrey, ranked the highest for television and radio presence, but was outdone for press mentions.Regardless of their media exposure was good or bad, these celebrities were in the headlines the most during the year. That old saying about any press being good press is certainly true here.

Technical Indicators: A technical indicator (often referred to as TIs or 'technicals') is basically a series of data points which are derived form a historical data set of a given market or security. The data points are normally plotted in a chart which can provide a visual indication of where are market is headed. Technicals are often used in automated strategies. Examples include Moving Average, Relative Strength Index, On Balance Volume and many more.
Candles: Please see Bar Charts below.
Slippage: Slippage relates to the difference between the price that a trader expects to get executed at and the price that he actually gets. In forex, slippage will most often occur when a limit order or a stop loss ends up being executed at a price inferior to the one requested or set when opening the trade. Slippage is likely to occur in 'fast markets' when liquidity is poor and prices are more volatile than usual.
Latency: (Data) Latency relates to the time it will take a set of data to travel from A to B. In other words, the accuracy - or timeliness - of the data that you are using to trade may lagg realtime karket data and hence make your trading inaccurate. In forex trading the issue of latency is a difficult one to measure as there are typically several sources of latency, the primary ones being of application, network and geographic nature. Latency may or may not affect your trading results and will in large part depend on your trading style.
Rejections: Rejections in fx relates to the situations where a trade attempts to trade on a published price only to find that the broker refuses to execute the trade. There may be a number of reasons for this, the most common ones being insufficient funds in account, invalid user-id, missing permission to trade security in question, broker parameters not being matched.
Re-quotes: Requotes in FX refer to situation where an execution of order is requested at a certain price, but the broker returns the request with a different quote at a new (worse) price - a re-quote. Re-quotes mostly happen in fast markets with high volatility and poor liquidity.
Tick data: Tick data is the more accurate of the two and it refers to market data which shows the price and volume of every print. Additionally, tick data will often include every change to the best bid and ask price.
Bar Charts (OHCL): Bar charts, also referred to as OHLC charts (open-high-low-close chart), are a type of chart which help in illustrating movements in the price of a financial instrument over time. Each vertical line on the chart shows the price range (i.e. the highest and lowest prices) over a given time unit, e.g. 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or one day.

It's hard to hit the slopes when you're trapped by an avalanche
Hidden object maestros ERS Game Studios have a new title coming, Phantasmat: Crucible Peak. The second game in the Phantasmat series, ERS is taking over the helm from previous developers Codeminion, and the new game looks set to be just as awesome as the first. ERS has worked on a whole heap of other top-class hidden object adventures, including the Haunted Halls, Puppetshow and Dark Tales series. In short, these guys know what they're doing.
You play a tourist who arrives in the Alps after having saved for years for his trip. Skiing in the Alps has always been his dream, and now that he's finally arrived, he's straight on his skis and off soaring down the slopes. However, the dream vacation quickly sours into a nightmare when he becomes trapped in the picturesque resort after an avalanche. After years of saving to get there, he's now desperate to get out. Some people are just never happy.
The gameplay combines adventure and hidden object finding, and the story looks like it will quickly turn into something a whole creepier than a simple escape from a natural disaster. Screenshots show cabins with snow-covered rooftops, an abandoned cable car and what looks like some kind of military installation.
The first Phantasmat game scored highly with Gamezebo, earning a more-than-respectable 4 and a half stars. We eagerly anticipate the next installment, which will be coming 'soon'.

Frank has percocets and I got 10 hours of sleep. Things are better. Fortunately Frank plays soccer and not basketball, so I think he'll even try to play in his rec game Tuesday. He's still a little cranky and demanding.....but he is the Princess' son and you would be shocked if he was sweet. I told him that he offered to buy the young female doctor a beer and at first he looked surprised and then he asked what her reaction was. LOL Flirting with strangers....where'd he get that!

According to the NY Times, free trade agreement talks resumed yesterday in Seoul with a new urgency, with Washington hoping to resolve the issue before Bush's special "fast-track" powers run out:
Under the fast-track mechanism, President Bush can submit an agreement deal to Congress for a straight yes-or-no vote. An agreement would have to go to Washington by the end of March because lawmakers would need to review it before a vote. After President Bush's authority expires, however, the Congress — now controlled by the Democrats — can place amendments on the trade deal, crippling its chances of speedy ratification.
The talks have drawn out large numbers of protesters, who are opposed to opening up Korea's market to a range of American goods. The most heated contention surrounds the free trade of agricultural products, including rice, pork, beef, and apples (Korea Times).
There have been major protests in the past in reaction to the FTA talks – over 60,000 came out last July in the pouring rain to show their vehement opposition.
If the Bush administration is successful in pushing the agreement on South Korea, I see this as a huge blow to the Korean economy. The idea of importing rice into one of the largest rice-producing nations is absolutely ludicrous; not only would it threaten the livelihood of Korean rice farmers, it's also an utterly unneccesary waste of resources (i.e. fuel required for shipping). Korean beef farmers would also struggle. U.S. negotiators are also backing the opening up of the car market, hoping to see some more Fords on Korea's roads, which could threaten Hyundai.
Seoul is already becoming a little too much like America – taking a ride through the heart of the city, one comes upon such "Anywhere USA" institutions as Tony Romas, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, Outback, and so on. I understand that the issue is sticky – particularly given the Korean automobile presence in the U.S. But if President Roh is looking to boost the Korean economy (which should be his first priority), he needs to consider the farmers and factory workers, as well as the cultural value of keeping things local; the last thing Korea needs is American rice, mediocre automobiles, or – god forbid – outlandish SUVs.

Happy birthday, rFactor! Image Space Incorporated's classic sim is turning 10 today, and the developers have launched the #10YearsOFrFactor hashtag.
Time flies, doesn't it? As our poor old bodies start to creak and wrinkle, so do the digital bits of racing sims, with increasingly dated graphics and less sophisticated physics and whatnot.
Yet, ISI is trying to give the original rFactor content a new lease of life. With the upcoming release of the new jGED modding tool, the developers have managed to port some content to rFactor 2 "in a couple of hours".
So now you can enjoy the Kodi ZR, a road car with a plethora of tuning and customization options, and the Sardian Heights fictional street circuit. The latter is a circuit inspired by Macau and Monaco, and the long layout has no less than three hairpins.
According to the official webpage, jGED is going to be available before the end of the week - hopefully allowing for better, more efficient porting of content. The old rFactor cars and tracks will enjoy all the features of the rF2 engine when ported, including real road, chassis flex etc.
Download the Kodi ZR here and Sardian Heights here.
What are your favorite memories about rFactor? Any specific content from the original game that you would like to see released for rFactor 2?
Please feel free to comment below with your thoughts.

Health News of Monday, 24 September 2018
Source: Graphic.com.gh
The Chief Executive Officer of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Dr Oheneba Danso, has warned health professionals against disclosing the ailment of patients to third parties.
According to him, apart from it being unethical, health professionals must be wary of the legal implications.
Speaking at the induction and oath-swearing ceremony for allied health graduates at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi last Saturday, Dr Danso said many Ghanaians were now awake to their legal rights and the health professionals could ruin their careers with the slight negligence.
The ceremony was on the theme: "Achieving the health-related sustainable development goals: The role of the allied health professional".
Dr Danso expressed concern that about 70 per cent of trained allied health professionals were located in Accra and Kumasi alone, leaving the rest of the regions to suffer.
He said it was time for an even distribution of health personnel across the country, with a key focus on deprived areas.
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Simon Osei-Mensah, reiterated the need for the Ghana Medical Council and the Allied Health Professions Council to put in place stringent measures to weed out quack practitioners within the system.
He said the risk caused by such practitioners in recent times to human life had been alarming and called for immediate action to be taken to stamp out the menace.
Touching on a number of health-related issues, the Minister urged the newly sworn-in professionals to resort to dialogue, rather than the frequent strike actions, in putting across their grievance.
Rather than picketing at the Ministry of Health to press home their demands, he said, the leadership should find a way of engaging the government, using negotiating skills, including cajoling, to achieve their results.
Mr Osei-Mensah pleaded with the 1,120 health professionals, including laboratory technicians and field technicians, to accept posting to the rural areas because that was where their services would be needed most.
Prof. Opoku-Okrah
An associate professor in Haematology and Immunohaematology, Prof. Clement Opoku-Okrah, called for stimulation to attract the best form of investment to the sector to make it attractive and well-paying.
He said security and the protection of the health workforce must not be compromised, siting the recent attack on the CEO of the Tamale Teaching Hospital as an example.
Prof. Opoku-Okrah said such an incident and the lack of proper housing for health workers discouraged people from accepting posting to the rural areas.
The acting Registrar of the Allied Health Professions Council, Dr Samuel Yaw Opoku, said continuous training and education was the key ingredient that could make the graduates more relevant to the profession.
He urged them never to cease studying because it was the only thing that could make them address challenges in the future.

NEW YORK (AP) – The New York Knicks signed first-round draft pick Tim Hardaway Jr. to a contract on Monday.
Hardaway Jr. was the 24th selection in the draft and played at the University of Michigan where he averaged 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 107 games and helped lead the Wolverines to the NCAA championship game last season.
He is the son of five-time NBA All-Star Tim Hardaway Sr.
The Knicks also signed free agent forward C.J. Leslie to a contract.
Leslie declared for the draft after his junior season at N.C. State. He averaged 13.7 points, on 49.7 percent shooting, 7.3 rebounds and 1.37 blocks in 99 games with the Wolfpack. As a junior, he averaged 15.1 points, on 51.9 percent shooting, and 7.4 rebounds and 1.23 blocks in 32.4 minutes in 35 games.
Both players are expected to play for the Knicks' entry at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Stay on target
Dr. Dabber's Aurora is a portable, efficient, and well-constructed vape for the masses. At about $100, it compares favorably to just about everything else. The catch? It uses concentrate or oils instead of herbs. Taste and availability play second fiddle to portability and convenience. And for those looking to make the switch, the Aurora vape pen is a phenomenal little device.
From the outset, you'd be surprised for what your money gets you — a large case, the pen, several interchangeable parts, and plenty more. And it doesn't seem like Dr. Dabber's skimped on anything. The pen is a sleek matte black that can break off into one of several pieces.
The base houses most of the hardware, including the battery and power button. And when it's time to charge, you simply detach the base and connect it to the charging station (which has a convenient nook for the rest of the pen to rest). Just above that is the atomizer — that's where you'll load your material when you're ready. And then up top, you've got the ceramic mouthpiece (which comes in one of several shapes) and an additional section that spaces out the pen so that vapor coming from the atomizer has to cool as you inhale.
Each part connects with magnets that snap together. It's a nice touch that helps the pen feel like a premium product (belying its price point), but they're also a little loose and can be knocked apart if you're not careful. So if you're stashing the pen into your back pocket, it's worth checking that you still have everything.
When it comes time to use the pen, the set-up can be a little tricky. You can select one of three temperatures by clicking the main power button three times quickly. Then, you turn it on by clicking the button five times and then holding for the duration of your session. That can be a bit to remember, and it's worth noting that the air intake can be quite easy to cover accidentally.
Cleaning the Aurora is quick and easy. Soak a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and give the atomizer a quick wipe, then hold down the power button to burn off cotton threads from the swab, and you're good to go.
There are some valid concerns with the extremely high heat used for concentrates and oils, but that aside the Aurora is an exceptional device at a stunning price. It's versatile, convenient, and powerful.
Dr. Dabber's Aurora Original is currently available for purchase here for $109.99.
Great price
Excellent build quality
Extremely portable
No choice of material — you're stuck with concentrates
Pieces wobble a bit when pressed
Bottom Line
The Aurora from Dr. Dabber is one of the most powerful, convenient and efficient vape pens around. As long as you're using concentrates, this is an exceptional buy.

Here's How it breaks down ...
- Affiliates are a 'good thing' if they drive traffic to your website that you would not otherwise receive and/or if they provide reassurance to punters (who have already found you but are searching further) by redirecting them back to you.
- Voucher Code (aka Coupon Code aka Discount Code) affiliates rarely if ever do this ... having analysed the traffic paths in some detail (thanks to Hitwise) the reality is that most Voucher Code affiliate commissions are generated as a result of the user searching for your website brand name and 'voucher codes' (or equivalent) after they have decided to purchase from you and normally when they are at the point in your check-out process where a voucher code could be entered
- Of course they don't need to succeed in finding a voucher code for you to leak the commission, they simply need to click one of the links on the Voucher Code site's page to now be tracked as the last referrer for this transaction
- And if you think it through, it get's worse; if the transaction had been referred by another affiliate, the Voucher Code affiliate 'hijacks' that commission by being seen as the last affiliate referrer before the order is placed ... and of course if a voucher code does exist and the punter finds it on that site you are now paying affiliate commission and funding a voucher discount on that transaction (so chances are the transaction is economically marginal for you anyway)
Of course there is an argument in favour of the voucher code sites which goes something like this: bargain hungry customers start their journey at the voucher code site (or are prompted by an emailer having signed up to a voucher code site) and follow the journey that goes 'this retailer is offering a voucher so I will shop at this retailer now' (rather than its competitor, presumably). I simply don't buy this logic (even for those firmly established retail brands where the consumer is more likely to respond to the prompt to shop from this retailer because of the Voucher Code offer itself). Certainly for the majority of web businesses the cost of the 'leaked' and 'hi-jacked' commissions far outweigh the benefits of true 'new traffic' generated.
This is relevant not just for those running affiliate programmes of course -- if I was a 'good' affiliate myself I wouldn't want to be driving traffic to a website that is dominated by voucher code activity as I would know my affiliate commission is likely to be hijacked by a voucher code site at check ot.
Glad I've got that off my chest.
And yes, I have been through the process of paying a fortune to Voucher Code affiliates (when the programme was being managed for me by an idiot) and I have observed what happens when you tur them off (no discernible impact on traffic or revenue generated, massive saving on commissions and funded voucher discounts) so for my sites at least I have tested and validated the hypothesis that Voucher Code sites are mostly leeches and to be avoided.
And yes, it irritates me that I know they are highly successful and they make a fortune ... which is why I have written this blog in the hope that the bubble will burst for them soon!
Maybe we can coin a new term: "Vouchasites" (Voucher Sites + Parasites)

It can be exhilarating and it can be nerve-wracking but there aren't many people whose lives aren't enriched by one of the growing number of 'swim with' experiences offered in Australia.
Ningaloo Reef on Western Australia's Coral Coast was the 12th most popular destination on The 100 Greatest Holidays of Australia list, thanks largely to the whale shark encounters on offer (incidentally placing it ahead of the Great Barrier Reef). But that's just the start: you can frolic with dolphins or stare face to face with a great white shark (from behind the safety of a cage). So, get your togs on, here are Australia's 5 Greatest 'swim withs' (with the number they finished on the 100 list in brackets)
1. Swim with whale sharks in the 'other' reef, Ningaloo,WA (12)
2. Chase minke whales on the Great Barrier Reef, Qld (35)
3. Swim with sea lions and dolphins (at the same time) in Baird Bay, SA (74)

The new Mid-Season Reinforcements are arriving with force and introducing major changes to Tachanka, a new map in PVP, operator and weapon balancing, and many bug fixes. These Mid-Season Reinforcements arrive on Thursday, December 15, 2016.
On November 13th 2016, Alexsandr Senaviev was declared clinically dead for two minutes on the field. While he recovered at the Hereford Base, his mounted RP-46 Degtyaryov Machine Gun was inspected. Having been decommissioned in the 1960s, the RP-46 Degtyaryov was one of the last machine guns manufactured by the Soviet Union. Aware of the Operator's preference for such antique pieces, Six asked for the weapon to be upgraded to meet safety measures. The team of engineers led by Elena "Mira" Alvarez Del Manzano added a ballistic shield that protects the head from frontal shots. This shield can be destroyed separately from the rest of the turret. Mira was also tasked with adding a light customization on the Mounted LMG as a personal touch for Tachanka.
Since the launch of Rainbow Six Siege more than a year ago, Tachanka has been the weakest Operator, even if he has become one of the most loved. This has most clearly been reflected in his pick rate, which is the lowest in the game.
When looking at Tachanka, the biggest downside lies in the gadget. The tradeoff between his turret's stopping power and his lack of mobility isn't good enough. Attackers have several ways to deny him with the element of surprise, and can easily headshot him once they know his position.
In order to introduce a counter to this weakness, we've added a shield in front of the turret which protects him from frontal headshots. The objective is for Tachanka to be the king of the angle that he positioned into, while being very vulnerable to other angles.
The shield can be broken separately from the rest of turret and has 500 HP.
We've also added recoil and a little bit of spread to the gun, in order to mitigate the strength of the shielded turret in spawn peek situations (long distances).
Launching with the Mid-Season Reinforcement patch is the Bartlett University map redesigned for PvP. The map used to only be available in PvE and is going to be available for everyone starting December 15th, 2016.
The newly redesigned map removes all the gas and PvE elements from the original design, and introduces better destruction, improved visual layout for better orientation, and a new two-layer destruction.
Fuze is getting an additional Cluster Charge and each sub-grenade has a larger radius.
Fuze is literally a hit or miss Operator. We wanted to help him be more on the "hit" side of things while not making him too frustrating to play against either. He's getting an additional charge to apply offensive pressure more often throughout the round. That change alone would not have changed much on itself since it's rather easy to dodge the pellets. That is why we are also making the radius of the pellets' larger, from 2.5 meters to 4.2m.
As it was before, the lethal area for all armor types was up to 1.2m. From 1.2m to 2.5, it would be non-lethal damage except for light armor who only suffered non-lethal from 2m to 2.5m. We are expanding the zone of non-lethal damage up to 4.2m. This should help Fuze move Defenders out of rooms, exposing them to other Attacker's fire or preventing them from holding crucial lines of fire. Have at it, and be careful of where the hostage is before detonating those Cluster Charges!
We've added a fourth Battery to Bandit. Batteries are relatively easy to get rid of in most situations, and defenders need some help countering Thermite and Hibana wall breaching abilities.
Smoke's Gas Canisters follow the nitro cell curve and speed when thrown; however, we want to give him better deployment options for his gadget. In 5.2, we've replaced this with a normal Frag Grenade throw curve.
In this episode of a series of very fortunate nerfs: Blackbeard. His killing power is without a doubt the greatest in the game right now. He has one of the highest pick rates, as well as the highest kill/death ratio of all operators. Because of his shield, he is able to out-trade almost anyone in any situation. That is a problem.
Blackbeard's role is meant to hold an angle while being fully covered and catching rotating defenders. Right now, he excels at doing that while also excelling at getting kills in about any situation. This change is going keep him strong at his role of holding angles while making sure he isn't as strong at running and gunning.
As you may know, Assault Rifles ("AR") are much stronger damage wise than Submachine guns ("SMG"). As a way to balance them, they also have more recoil. In some cases for the Defenders, some submachines guns had recoil that was significant enough to make them unappealing. We are trying to reinforce our balance vision of AR vs SMG's. AR's have high recoil and high damage while SMG's have low damage and low recoil. These four changes to the Caveira, Frost, Castle, Pulse, and Smoke's weapons are going in that direction. Their recoil has been reduced and it should give the player improved accuracy with those weapons.
Before we delve into the changes here is a legend for most of the terms you will see below.
Note that the changes below are not platform specific. So if you're using a gamepad on the PC, it will still register the gamepad inputs.
Keyboard & Mouse
After a lot of feedback received by the community and pro league players, Glaz's OTS-03 is getting a much needed buff. It was too difficult to chain shots quickly one after the other on a moving target and that is why we are making it easier to do so.
That is it for the major weapon changes. The following weapon tweaks are mostly minor and aim to better categorize them amongst their respective weapon type. Most Assault Rifles should have the same kind of recoils, and so should all Submachine guns and so on. This should make the way recoils behave a lot more consistent within their weapon type.
The second types of minor weapon tweak are mostly reduction of some parameters that we felt make the recoils hard to control on a gamepad.
Note: Some of these buff and nerfs look like they are important but the original values were so small that even if it's tripled, you won't feel that extreme of a change.
Reworked the overall recoil for both KB&M and Gamepad as it had a lot of legacy values (the old way we use to do the recoils). It is hard to compare it from the previous version to this new one. Try it out and see for yourself.
In general, Shield Operators are currently too weak. One of the reasons is how easily they get countered by explosives like nitro cells.
Because of this, we have implemented a system that make shields offer directional resistance versus explosions.
When an explosion occur close to a Shield Operator, it will now take into account how much of the Operator's body was protected from the explosion by the shield. Every body part that is fully covered by the shield will resist up to 80% of the explosion damage, and the total damage will take into account which body parts were hit. Feet and hands take less damage than torso and head, for instance.
Typically, a nitro cell thrown in front of a shield will be a lot less of a threat – but one that is carefully thrown behind a shield will force him to make a hard choice: look back at it to mitigate damage while being exposed, or keep advancing forward and hope the explosion won't be close.
Note that this does not apply to Blackbeard, or Tachanka.
We have recalculated the behavior of grenades to make them to more consistent with the destruction system. Here is how they are changing:

Middlesex Gases is New England's leader in safety, innovation and new technology. Our advanced cylinder management system is just another example of Middlesex Gases' innovation leadership in the Biotech and Life Science industries.
We know that your lab can be hectic and cylinders can get misplaced from time to time. With our cylinder management program, you'll always know which cylinders are yours no matter where you are.
The system works in a way that gives each and every cylinder a unique bar code that can be traced back to its birth. As cylinders enter the fill plants, they are quickly identified and bar coded into the computer system. Real-time fill plant and dock tracking helps validate the cylinder movement as the cylinder is moved from the prep area to the filling area, out to the loading dock and delivered to the customer's site. Our drivers scan the cylinders going into the customer's location and the empty cylinders coming out thus eliminating the mistakes of hand-written notes.

Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.
Menu button on remote doesn't activate the iPod's menu system. No video pass-through. Not available in all black.
Watch the Apple iPod Hi-Fi Video Review!
Bottom Line
It's no surprise that the new champ among iPod speakers/docks comes from none other than Apple. It's versatile and loud enough for almost any listening needs, though it lacks video output.
It may not be exactly what people were clamoring for at Steve Jobs' most recent media hypevent, but the Apple iPod Hi-Fi ($349 direct) is now part of Apple's steadily growing repertoire of iPod accessories. I got my hands on one and took it for a spin in the PC Magazine audio lab, and I'm very happy with it. The one-piece three-way combination speaker and iPod dock looks a lot like a center-channel speaker from a home theater system, with horizontally set drivers. Though it costs about $50 more, it can thump, sing, and squeal with a lot more power than the Bose SoundDock, plus it's portable. I'm glad Apple included a combination analog and S/PDIF optical digital input, but a video pass-through for outputting photos and video to a TV would be convenient.
Similar Products
The tech specs alone are pretty meaty: two 80-mm midrange drivers and a 130-mm woofer with dual voice coils, sealed double-walled enclosure, separate chambers and front-panel isolation for the two midrange drivers, a rated maximum sound pressure level of 108dB (at 1 meter) when it's running on AC power, and a frequency response of 53Hz to 16kHz plus or minus 3dB. It can run on AC power without a huge brick (thanks to the internal power supply) or on six D batteries, though both of these mean the speaker is pretty heavy, at 14.5 pounds without batteries and 16.7 pounds with alkalines. It measures 6.6 by 17 by 6.9 inches (HWD)perfect for a bookshelf or even a desk. It has dual integrated handles on either side, so it's easy to move around, but it's definitely not the kind of thing you'd throw in a backpack and take to the beach. The enclosure is a sturdy white resin, and the black speaker grille is easily removable if you want a brighter sound.
The only controls on the speaker itself are two touch-sensitive buttons for adjusting the volume. Aside from the power jack, the only port is an auxiliary audio input, which accommodates both 3.5-mm analog cables or S/PDIF optical digital cables (also known as Toslink). The digital input is excellent for getting sound from your computer to the speaker if your desktop PC or external USB soundcard has an optical output. You can also connect an Apple AirPort Express to the speaker using an optical cable, which will let you transmit your music wirelessly and maintain a digital signal until it hits the speaker's on-board digital-to-analog converter. You can also hook up your iPod shuffle, dock connectorless iPod, or non-Apple audio player via a standard 3.5-mm audio cable (use a gold-plated one for best conductance). Unfortunately, Apple doesn't include any audio cables with the iPod Hi-Fi, so you'll have to buy your own either from Apple or a third party.
I was surprised to find that the iPod Hi-Fi lacks any sort of video output, considering the photo and video capabilities of the fifth-generation iPod. But you're not totally out of luck: You can get an iPod-compatible 3.5-mm to RCA audio/video cable, attach the 3.5-mm end to the iPod's headphone jack, and hook up the yellow video RCA end to your TV's video input (making sure to set the iPod to "TV On"). This lets the video come out of the top of the iPod, and the audio will still be fed into the Hi-Fi via the dock. Also, when you want to sync the iPod with your PC, you'll need to take it out of the dock, as there's no sync connector on the speaker.
The iPod Hi-Fi ships with the standard Apple wireless infrared remote. Its controls look very similar to those of the iPod shuffle, but with a Menu button in addition to the track skip, play/pause, and volume buttons. The Menu button, however, doesn't really work with the iPod, though you can press and hold it to switch from the dock connector input to the auxiliary input if you should have two devices connected simultaneously. It also comes with 10 iPod dock adapters for each model with a dock connector, all clearly labeled and set in a nice little box.
Setting up the speaker is as simple as plugging it in or inserting batteries, setting your dock connector-equipped iPod in the cradle on top of the speaker, and pressing play. I placed the speaker in the audio lab about 10 inches from the rear wall and equidistant from side walls. I also made sure to put it as close to ear-level as I could (with the help of a small speaker stand I happened to have lying around). This type of placement keeps the sound as smooth as possible and preserves the stereo imaging. Of course, it will still sound very good on a bookshelf.
When I plugged in my fifth-generation 30GB iPod updated with the latest firmware) into the Hi-Fi, I noticed that there's a new Speaker menu on the main screen. This gives you access to a display mode that automatically puts on a full-screen version of the album art that goes with the song you're listening to (if available) after about several seconds. You also get "tone controls", which consist of nothing more than a Bass Booster and Treble BoosterI admit, I had been hoping for a graphic equalizer. You can also switch between several different backlight modes. Continue Reading

Power of the Spoken Word
The first law of manifestation is limitation. To understand this concept better, we must realize that everything comes from Spirit, which is a plane of all-possibility. We can physically manifest anything from this plane of all-possibility, but in order to do so, we must first limit it in some fashion. And sound plays a role in this limitation, particularly the spoken word. As such, sound is a bridge between the seen and the unseen.
What brought about creation
according to the Bible? The answer is sound. Whether you want to call it the
Big Bang, the Om, or the Spoken Word of God makes no difference. It all started
with sound. Contemplate Genesis 1:1-3 which reads:
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
Given the foregoing, you can see why it is so important to choose your words carefully. What you say is helping to shape the environment around you. Are you creating a positive or a negative environment with your words?
For the next several weeks, pay close attention to everything you say. Watch how your words affect yourself, others, and your surroundings. In addition to paying attention to everything you say, choose a positive affirmation. Say it when anything negative enters your mind. Say it with one-pointed concentration and put your whole heart into the affirmation. This will create a cycle of positive energy that will transform your life for the better.

1 Samuel 2:12-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Sin of Eli's Sons
12 Now the sons of Eli were [a]worthless men; they did not know the Lord 13 and the custom of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand. 14 Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. 15 Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw." 16 If the man said to him, "They must surely [b]burn the fat [c]first, and then take as much as [d]you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
