I have purchased many and I mean many programs related to mind secrets and power, law of attraction and many more. I really enjoyed the Mind Secrets Exposed, especially when they have released the audio book which I prefer over reading PDFs.
Anyway, unless you are open-minded person, this might not help to your life, however, since you ended up on this site, I supposed you do believe in this stuff. There is a saying "Whatever you believe, you can achieve" so, if you doubt yourself, even this program may not help you.

So, what the hell is Mind Secrets Exposed program?
It's not exactly a program, just a PDF file of around 150 pages content that will blow you away! Yes, they also have audio book which I am listening to the 3rd time while I am writing this review. Yes, it is so powerful and awesome that I am literally listening 3rd time in a period of 2 weeks!
So, this is a book which has a lot of content all about mind secrets and all. It is also highly related to the law of attraction which actually works! This eBook has 18 chapters which I am going briefly describe:
- Chapter 1: The secrets within – this is the first part of the book which explains what the hell is mind and how it works and what not.

- Chapter 5: Modern subconsciousness mind healing – in this chapter you will learn how you can heal yourself using … what? Your mind? Yup, it works if you put the right thoughts into it. You will learn here.
- Chapter 6: Praying is a science – while I am not religious person at all, this was not exactly related to my beliefs however I find it interesting as long as I put my "higher me" instead of God. Or something like that which I picked up from Buddhism (no, I am not Buddhist either).
- Chapter 7: The subconsciousness nature of self-development – in this chapter you will learn how your mind affects you and how you can learn or master just about anything you desire but once again, as long as you ut the right mind into it.

- Chapter 16: Developing harmonious human relationships – it's all about the importance of marriage and how marrying someone you actually love (and wise-verse) is so much better than marrying someone because of her/his look or riches. You will also learn how to attract that special one.
- Chapter 17: Learn the art of forgiveness – if you cannot learn to forgive someone then when you see that someone will take your good feelings away which will never be a good thing for being healthy and wealthy. Forgiving someone is a sole skill you need to master before you can master your fate. More details about this is in this chapter.
- Chapter 18: Conquering mental obstacles – mental obstacles such as "I don't know if I can do it" or "… but they said I wouldn't be able to do it" are nothing but mental obstacles which need to be dealt with mentally. That means you will need to learn a new way of thinking which is really easy if you persist. Learn more in this chapter.
- Final words – final words just summarize everything we learned.
Alright, there is a lot of reading in this book. What I did I got this audiobook (it's free, comes with the purchase) and I am listening to this stuff while I work.
My own story:
While this happened not entirely because of this eBook, it is truly related to what I've learned in the past related to mind power and law of attraction. I was really desiring to get more money so I can at least enjoy while I live during hard times. In these times, all you hear is economic crisis everywhere, businesses shutting down, more and more people getting into debt and what not. I wanted a business that would at least pay my rental costs and take care of my tuition and other general bills (phone, TV, internet, etc …). So here I was a few weeks later, starting my own business which was making me a descent amount of money – as much as $15,000/mo.
When I was making this kind of money, I kinda … became greedy … in a bad way. I really spent a lot of money on things I didn't need and my thoughts were "Alright, I am going to make as much money as I can from this as long as it works". Now here was the thing – I was constantly thinking about making money while putting doubts about long-term sustainable service I was providing. Just because I was thinking "…as long as it works", I was putting a thought subconsciously that it would burn sometime so I was trying to make as much money as I could while it worked. Unfortunately, it burnt. So I rebuilt my business another 2 times which also burnt. Since I knew that law of attraction truly worked, I started researching more about this matter and why, even though it works, it fails also. Now I understand what happened. I know I am not making as much as I did before, I am not really caring about money anymore … what I care about is wealth. Wealth is not necessary money and riches! Wealth is having financial security, good health, good relationship with family, wife, friends and being spiritually strong. In other words – enjoying your life. Now I really apply this saying by Dalai Lama "It's funny how people sacrifice their health for work to make more money and then spend their money on their health". It might not be exact words but the meaning is the same.
So, how can Mind Secrets Exposed help you?
First of all, you shouldn't care about becoming rich. If you start thinking about money, this feeling of being rich may overwhelm you, make you worse person, make you not care about anything else in life but money. I know, I've been there before. I am lucky that I am not this kind of person anymore. And that is thanks to Mind Secrets Exposed!
Let's say you care about money and money all there is for you. When you become rich and I can tell you from my own experience, you will become a different person. Riches will change you! They will make you greedier than you are. Once you have lots of money, you will start buying things you love and things you don't need. Yup! Trust me, you will be buying stuff you don't need! You will think that you might need it in the future so you buy it now in case you lose your money (which is negative thing to think and it will be more powerful than thinking positively). You may start ditching your business which in turn, start getting worse and bringing in less and less revenues … there can be many different situation and finally, your business dies. Then you won't know what to do because you have spent most of your savings for things you probably don't know what to do with. You will become very angry (which is another negative feeling). This will overwhelm you and you might do stupid things you wouldn't do otherwise (I will let your imagination work here).
Instead, you shall thing about wealth and spirituality (after all, it is all there is to become a person enjoying one's life), health, happiness, etc … so, I would really suggest getting this program which will teach you how exactly become much better person in everything.
Things I didn't like in this program:
The PDF and content is awesome however, when listening you get this monotonic voice which does sound as if robot was speaking. I don't know if that is true but the voice kinda … makes youmore tired. It wasn't really a big problem. Also, another thing I didn't like was the fact that they used God in the content. Since I am more of a Buddhist (I am not really but I prefer their way of thinking), I just replaced God with "higher myself". These are all the problem I had with the program, everything else is just perfect.
So, who is this program NOT for?
Alright, people who don't think there is such power as mind power and law of attraction may change their mind after reading or hearing this program, however, if you know that there isnothing that would change the way you think, probably there isn't.
People who critique all the time may not find this eBook working since all they do is look for bad things about product …
People who do not take action may never find wealthiness in their lives. You NEED to take actions towards your happiness, there is no such magic "thought" that will make you rich overnight.
My final words about Mind Secrets Exposed
While this program is excellent as is, people tend to think that such programs can make themrich overnight. While there might be a case or two which are very rare, you need to take action. You need to be persistent and patience and as long as you keep following the instruction (the way you think about everything), you will find your luck one day!
Now why not take your first action and purchase this program? So you can start following thepath to your wealth!

Golden Tulip centralizes and streamlines this way its internal processes, communications and reporting, facilitating faster decision-making thanks to Exact's web-based solution Exact Synergy.
"Because of an immensely dynamic hospitality market, the ability to globally access key management information in real-time is a precondition for success. Exact Synergy was a perfect fit because it offers full usage in real-time while connecting hotels across different countries. Every process and every bit of data is saved, processed and delivered exactly where it is needed, and is accessible from everywhere." says Riko van Santen, Golden Tulip's Vice President of Electronic Distribution & ICT.
In addition to easy data integration and a centralized management overview, Golden Tulip was looking for speedy, simultaneous rollout and minimized implementation time, as well as industry-specific customization and improved collaboration and efficiency. "We understand the needs of multinational groups like the Golden Tulip Hospitality Group, especially during these challenging economic times. They need to make fast, informed decisions based on reliable, up-to-date information. But this is difficult when there are many different systems in use producing huge amounts of fragmented data. By using Exact Synergy as a centralized, fully integrated and web based collaboration platform, clients like Golden Tulip can reach substantial efficiency gains and cost savings while increasing speed and transparency", says Roland Rott, Managing Director of Europe, Middle East and Africa at Exact Software.

Thankfully Thankful this Thanksgiving & Everyday!
Without a doubt, we are fortunate to celebrate a meaningful holiday as a Nation, a day of gratitude, of actual thanksgiving. We have been blessed with so much in a variety of ways, beyond most.
Some of the things I am grateful for look like YOU. Right, you have supported R Star with our primary work in Nepal to lift women and children, entire villages. I am grateful for the 'difference' R Star has made through our years starting with goats, education for illiterate women in the rural villages, for our Top of the World – Nepal elementary school we built and run… and will rebuild. I am grateful for the organic growing greenhouses we are establishing to help the villagers rebuild their homes destroyed from the earthquakes 19 months back by the added income produced from their agricultural products. I am grateful to be able to do the work we collectively do so well for others. My gratitude is huge as so of my thankfulness for even more.
While you are eating your traditional meals with family and friends, I will be visiting our villages in Nepal to access what R Star can help with to bring at the least, our villagers to a safer place in their lives with houses and continued hope to restore their lives.
If in your own thankfulness for all you have, you are able to assist us for a first time or again, our thankfulness will be all the fuller for the expanded reach to the unfortunate people of Nepal. We remain committed to lift the people of our villages which lifts the entire country.
Interested in helping us as a volunteer? Volunteers are the strength of a charity, good as gold. We will be thankful to have your help as we are all volunteers.
To you and yours, we wish you the finest HAPPY THANKSGIVING ever!
Blessings upon you and yours, Rosalind

Discovery of Achilles on Skyros
Slide Notes
Knowing that her son was destined to die if he fought in the Trojan War, Achilles's mother disguised him as a woman and hid him on the island of Skyros among the daughters of King Lycomedes. Sent to find Achilles, the Greek chieftains Ulysses and Diomedes disguised themselves as merchants. As they hoped, Achilles gave himself away by snatching up a sword that they had concealed in their chests of jewelry and clothing. Poussin preferred psychological to physical drama; in this late work, a moment of revelation and recognition is presented by means of figures frozen into carefully structured, clearly legible poses.
1. What emotions are the figures in this scene feeling? How do these emotions tell the story of the scene?
2. Which figure(s) seem to be the main subject? Is there a central figure? Why?
Read the story of Achilles on Skyros, in the PDF available under Related Resources.
3. How did the artist choose to portray this scene? What scene from the story would you have chosen to show?
4. Do you feel like your understanding of this piece would change without prior knowledge of the story and its characters?

Luncheon Party in a Park
Slide Notes
This painting by Lancret, commissioned in 1735 by Louis XV, closely replicates an earlier work done by the artist. He captures a feeling of joi de vivre, or enjoyment of life, exemplified by courtly life at this time. Seven men sit at a lavish lunch, all toasting a woman sporting a man's wig, who is making the sign of a cuckold over a man's head. The well-manered servants make a sharp contrast to the revelers, whose movements are mimicked by dogs on the bottom of the piece.
1. What is the setting of this painting? What type of people are included?
2. What is the general mood of this scene? How can you tell?
Vocabulary: fête galante - a French term referring to some of the celebrated pursuits of the idle, rich aristocrats in the 18th century. (literally translates to 'gallant party')
3. Using the definition of the term fête galante, explain how the artist portrayed that idea in this work.
4. How do the figures in the background contrast with the figures in the foreground?

Young Shepherdess
Slide Notes
Jean-Françcois Millet was a painter known for his scenes of peasant farmers. Here, he depicts a young female shepherdess pausing from her work. Her face, shaded by a large sunhat, appears cool, calm, and distant as she gazes out beyond the viewer. The warm light and framing of the girl by the empty sky suggests something sacred in the everyday. The scene's subject matter is complemented by Miller's use of Naturalism and Realism.
1. What can you guess about the girl in this painting? What is her social status? How old do you think she is?
2. Do you think this image shows the girl as she actually appeared in real life, or was she idealized? Why?
3. How do you think the girl feels in this place? Why?
4. Millet was known for trying to represent the repetition and fatigue that would be a part of an average peasant's life. Do you think he expressed that here? Why?

Automedon with the Horses of...
Slide Notes
Regnault's painting illustrates a story from Homer's Iliad. Automedon, chariot driver for the Greek warrior Achilles, restrains the horses Xanthos (behind) and Balios, two beasts who could predict the future. As Regnault wrote, "the horses, aware that their master [Achilles] is taking them into combat, and that this combat will be the last and will cost him his life, struggle and wrest with the groom who has come to take them from their pasture. One of them, chestnut brown, rises like a great dark phantom, outlining himself against the sky. I wanted to give the picture a foretaste of disaster."
1. What emotion(s) do you sense in this painting? How do the physical positions of the man and the horses serve to emphasize those emotions?
2. How do the colors used affect this piece? Do you think a different palate would change it significantly?
Vocabulary: Réalisme: the French term for Realism. The style of representing things as they actually are.
3. Why is this painting considered to be done in the réaliste style? (Use the definition to answer this question.)
4. Where are your eyes drawn to? How does the flow create a sense of space? Perspective?

Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer
Slide Notes
The model for this essentially realistic work is known to have been a student at the École de Danse in Paris. The statue was originally made in wax, and then cast in bronze. A tulle skirt was attached to the piece, as well as a bow from the dancer herself. Degas has fully expressed the fatigue and stress of the life of a dancer. Her face appears tired and strained, and perhaps as the model herself appeared.
1. Look at the sculpture. Describe the girl depicted. How old is she? What is her profession? How can you tell?
2. Does the figure seem to be idealized to you? What can you tell from the expression on her face?
3. How does the use of natural fibers change this piece, as compared to it being entirely made out of bronze?

Dance at Bougival
Slide Notes
The open-air cafés of suburban Bougival, on the Seine outside Paris, were popular recreation spots for city dwellers, including the Impressionist painters. Renoir, who was primarily a figure painter, uses intense color and lush brushwork to heighten the sense of pleasure conveyed by the whirling couple who dominate the composition. The woman's face, framed by her red bonnet, is the focus of attention, both ours and her companion's.
1. Are the two dancers a couple? Why?
2. What do you think the woman is thinking? The man? How do their body positions and faces reflect this?
3. How does the artist use color to move your eyes around the painting?
Read the following quote: Of all the impressionists, Renoir most consistently celebrated life's moments of pleasure and recreation. Although his own life was scarcely free of hardship, he did not dwell on sadness or loss; rather he projected a perennially optimistic outlook. - John Berger
4. Considering the quote, do you believe that this is a wholly optimistic painting? Why or why not?
5. What kind of atmosphere is this setting? What visual clues indicate this?

Rouen Cathedral Façade and Tour d...
Slide Notes
Monet's series paintings of the 1890s—multiple variations of a single motif conceived, executed, and exhibited as a group—are among his most inventive and remarkable works. In the winter of 1892 the artist spent several months studying and painting the façade of Rouen Cathedral in his native Normandy. From rooms facing the cathedral across a square, Monet concentrated on the analysis of light and its effects on the forms of the façade, changing from one canvas to another as the day progressed. Later he extensively reworked the thirty paintings of the cathedral series in his studio at Giverny. Their encrusted surfaces of dry, thickly layered paint evoke the rough texture of weathered stone, absorbing and reflecting light like the walls of the cathedral itself.
1. What time of day do you think is being shown here? Why?
2. Why do you think that the artist used a limited palate in this piece? Why blues and pinks specifically?
3. What material do you think the building is made of? Why? What in the painting indicates that?
4. Impressionism or Impressionisme, is characterized by a concern with depicting the visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and color. Why is this a good representation of an Impressionist piece?

Postman Joseph Roulin
Slide Notes
One of van Gogh's closest friends and favorite sitters in Arles was the local postman, Joseph Roulin. While painting this work, van Gogh wrote to his brother, "I am now at work with another model, a postman in blue uniform, trimmed with gold, a big bearded face, very like Socrates." Indeed, the modest postman has all the authority of an admiral. Van Gogh also painted several portraits of Madame Roulin, as well as images of their children, delighted, as he wrote, to depict "a whole family."
1. Look closely at this portrait. Describe the man you see. What impression do you get from his clothing and his expression?
2. How do the colors used in the picture effect how you see the man? Do you think that it would look the same if he had used a black background?
3. Vincent van Gogh was less interested in Impressionist ideals like realism, and instead wanted to "paint the postman as I feel him." How does this painting make you feel? What qualities do you imagine this man to have?
4. Compare this portrait to the painting by Millet of the young shepherdess. Which style do you prefer? Why?

Where Do We Come From? What Are We...
Slide Notes
In 1891, Gauguin left France for Tahiti, seeking in the South Seas a society that was simpler and more elemental than that of his homeland. In Tahiti, he created paintings that express a highly personal mythology. He considered this work—created in 1897, at a time of great personal crisis—to be his masterpiece and the summation of his ideas. Gauguin's letters suggest that the fresco-like painting should be read from right to left, beginning with the sleeping infant. He describes the various figures as pondering the questions of human existence given in the title; the blue idol represents "the Beyond." The old woman at the far left, "close to death," accepts her fate with resignation.
1. Look carefully at the figures in the painting. Can you find any similar traits about them? Do they appear to be in any kind of order? How so?
2. Describe the setting and the use of color. Why do you think Gauguin chose these? How does it effect the mood of the piece?
3. Consider the title of the painting. Do you think Gauguin's painting offers an answer? Can you answer these questions?
4. Which parts of this painting are symmetrical? Which are asymmetrical?

American Airlines on Wednesday reported higher traffic and capacity in June from a year ago, but a slightly lower percentage of seats filled with passengers.
International traffic drove American's system-wide traffic up 1.3 percent. (U.S. traffic fell 0.9 percent.) Its capacity increased 1.8 percent.
The Fort Worth-based airline's load factor was 86.3 percent, which means it filled that percentage of seats with passengers. That was down from 86.8 percent a year earlier. Latin America was the only region to show an increase.
Overall, American boarded 7.7 million passengers in June.
Commuter partner American Eagle posted an 18.6 percent increase in traffic and a 16.7 percent gain in capacity. Its load factor rose 1.2 points to 78.3 percent.

Water Treatment Plant Proposal: Third Informational Meeting Scheduled
The City of Pierre will host its third public informational meeting about a proposed Water Treatment Plant at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, May 21. The meeting will be held at River Cities Transit, 1600 East Dakota Avenue.
On the June primary ballot, the public will vote on whether or not the City should build a Water Treatment Plant near the waterfront in Steamboat Park. The project is the result of citizen feedback gathered through a community survey. Survey respondents said they wanted the City to provide better water quality. The proposed plant would improve water quality by changing the water source and reducing the mineral levels that currently cause hard water and water discoloration. The estimated cost of the project is $37 million.
Additional information about the proposed plant, its financial impact, and details about Pierre's current water quality can be found at cityofpierre.org.

LEOMINSTER -- Leominster High varsity boys' soccer coach Steve McCaughey understands the importance of playing top-level soccer out of season.
But due to elevated financial costs and a lot of travel, some players simply don't consider playing club soccer an option.
But McCaughey is working on establishing an affordable and competitive club soccer team called the Twin Cities FC based out of the Leominster/Fitchburg area.
"Just living in Leominster and seeing that kids are prohibited from playing due to financial reasons, it's discouraging for me," said McCaughey, who plans on starting the program with teams at the U18 and U16 level. "I heard an interesting story on the radio about how youth sports are becoming more and more something for the privileged. You need to pay like $2,000 to let your kid play competitive soccer because coaches aren't really coming out to high school because they don't want to go watch a high school game for one kid. They want to go to a tournament where all these clubs are playing and they can recruit en masse. When we have kids that can't afford those fees, then they are just being boxed out of having those same opportunities."
Of course, McCaughey wants his Leominster players to play on the same team, develop great team chemistry and in tern will help during the high school season in the fall.
"I have a selfish interest where I want to see my kids play at a high level, but really it's more where we don't want kids with means to have one set of opportunities and kids that don't have that," he said.
McCaughey says Twin Cities FC will not be making any money at the top end of the organization.
"We're not a for-profit operation, we're going to be operating under Leominster Youth Soccer's umbrella, at least for the short term," he said. "We are going to pay coaches; I think that's a critical element.
"We want soccer to grow in Leominster."
McCaughey, who has raised roughly $1,000 already through a GoFundMe page, says the goal is to keep the cost around $600 per player.
"It's probably about half of the lowest cost that I've heard," he said. "There will still be some financial barriers for kids even at that price point. We're trying to fundraise to be able to provide some kids scholarships. To make that happen, we're going to need community support."
McCaughey says he's fired off emails to area high school coaches from Fitchburg High, Monty Tech, Lunenburg and Gardner, hoping they will have players that want to play on this new club team.
"We're looking to fill these rosters with half Leominster kids, and reaching out to other communities to make up the difference," McCaughey said.
Tryouts will be conducted in June, and the program will be up and running following next season's high school fall season.
"Club soccer has often been spreading the word that high school soccer is a waste of time," McCaughey said. "It's a message that going out that club soccer is where it's at and that playing for your city and school is not something that's going to help these kids go on to the next level. We're trying to work against that. The best times I had in my athletic career were playing high school sports. You're playing for a community that cares about you. You're playing in club tournaments and there are parents that are there, they don't have a following. I want to build some pride in Leominster soccer where the community can support this team. That's my hope."
Twin Cities FC will be more of a blue collar, bring-your-lunch pail type of program, says McCaughey.
"We're probably going to pass up on some of the bells and whistles these other teams provide like very fancy uniforms, fancy warm-up jackets and bags ... all these things our kids don't need," he said. "They need facilities, places to play and coaches. We're going to focus our attention on providing that. Our kids are going to understand that if you want the fanciest stuff, you're probably going to want to go somewhere else."
One of the major obstacles is finding a true place to play and somewhere to call home.
"Our biggest problem is playing fields," McCaughey said. "We have very few soccer fields in Leominster. We may have to go pay for other places. We're going to have to scavenge around a little bit."
But the key to this club team will be keeping the costs down, limit traveling and having players from the same school playing together while not in season.
"We've had kids that have traditionally played club, but have had to travel long distances," McCaughey said. "A lot of them go to Northboro, some go to Worcester. There's always been a cost issue and our kids were not always playing together.
"When you look at the competition and teams in the Mid-Wach, teams like Algonquin or Wachusett, those kids tend to play club together from an early age and it gives them a competitive advantage. Not only are they playing individually for nine, 10 months out of the year, but they are playing together and building that cohesion as a team. I've been pushing to get our kids to play together and they've been doing that with Leominster Youth Soccer, but there's been this divide where the best half dozen players were still going off to play for other clubs. We'd have this disconnect where we'd come back in the fall like our offensive players haven't worked with our midfielders.
The best teams I've had grew up playing club together and they build that cohesion. We've been missing that."
Former Leominster High star Fabio Machado is slated to coach the U18 team.
"I'm really excited about that," McCaughey said. "He holds multiple records at Leominster High for scoring and he led us here to a district final appearance and was part of the Providence team that went to the NCAA Final Four. He got an invite to the MLS combine, so he has the resume. We're really excited that he's agreed to be a part of this."
With a new club soccer team on the horizon in the area, McCaughey is hopeful that it bonds the soccer community even closer together.
"Leominster has a lot of people that are really passionate about soccer," he said. "I'm not sure how connected they all are to each other, though. We want to bring all the soccer community together. We're hoping to bring real soccer pride to North Central Mass., and kind of buck the model of club soccer out there that's it's a money-making opportunity for adults rather than providing a place for these kids to play and grow as soccer players."

You might say that Ole Yde, designer of YDE Copenhagen, defies convention a little with his flourishing, poetically feminine designs. After all, it's clean minimalism the world expects of the Scandinavian aesthetic. Instead, YDE's fall 2013 campaign shows what kind of beauty can occur when the pristine nature of Danish design and the luxuriousness of feminine details come together: ruffled hemlines, sheer overlays, and the most divine open lace winged sleeves can all be spotted within the campaign's images.
The campaign was shot by Hans Zuthen, with creative direction by Marco Pedrollo. View more at the gallery above.

As we push for a greener and more energy efficient society, there are companies that are really focusing on this. It is very important that we reward these companies that are moving forward to really make a difference in what is being created. There are a lot of people out there that just don't understand that the lights that you use and the style and type that they are. That is why we need to give recognition to companies that are making a huge difference in the lighting industry; there are companies that have really pushed to make some great strides and to improve upon certain items. One of these companies that needs to be recognized is Sunovia and their LED lighting advances that they have made.
Sunovia is one of the leaders in lighting creation. Today, they are a forerunner in expanding lighting options to find ones that are more energy efficient and will save businesses and residential homes time and money. Sunovia is a division of EvoLucia, which is a lighting company that works to offer high efficiency outdoor lights. These are lights for things like parking garages, highways, landscaping, and that sort of thing. They have really pushed to move forward in this industry and have created a lot of great products that are going to really change the face of electricity and lighting for the larger commercial industry. This is a company that has been rewarded for a reason and is really working to better the technology that is out there today and decrease the demand that we are putting on our resources and decrease the strain that they may be potentially under.
There are many different ways that Sunovia has been honored for the accomplishments that they have made. One of the big ways that they were honored is that their new light fixture was actually named the best outdoor street light by the U.S Department of Energy. They also were given this honor by the International Association of Lighting Designers and won a street light competition that was held by Solid State. This is a big deal and this company has tried time and time again to get a leg up and create products that are good for the world and are going to help reduce the dependency on energy that most countries have.
Sunovia has made some great steps to create some great products that are good for the environment. You will find that there are all kinds of great choices out there that they have created for commercial lighting and they have really been made as a stand out company in this field. Their dedication to decreasing energy use through their creation of commercial products is great and they are a great company to be in this industry. They should be honored and their commitment to this is great, and they are making some great products that are really going to stand out and make a big difference in the industry and change the standards out there.

Dieta HCG FASE 3 que hacer despues de las 500 kcal
Acabando esas 48 horas se empieza a comer con los siguientes lineamientos en breve los voy a traducir al espano pero es que hoy ya no me dio tiempo
When you have taken your last dose of Hcg, you must then do an additional 3 days of the very low calorie diet. The following day, is the first day of Phase 3. This is the "no sugar, no starch" phase, and this continues for 3 weeks.
When you start phase 3, don't go hog-wild all at once. Your body will be happier if you slowly increase the amount of food you're eating. Many people start by eating phase 2 foods, but just increasing the amounts. You may have regular salad dressings. Be careful of low-fat or fat-free processed foods- these almost always have lots of added sugar. You may go back to using lotions and your regular cosmetics on day one of P3.
What can you eat in P3? All meats and fish, eggs, all dairy including cheese, butter, oils. You may eat most veggies, except for starchy ones like corn and peas. You may have most fruits- but be cautious in the beginning with the sweeter fruits such as melons and bananas. Nuts are also allowed, but I'd add these slowly- some people have difficulty with them (which may be due in part to the salt). No bread, baked goods, cereal, rice, potatoes, pasta, candy, deserts.
Eggs and cheese are tricky. It is best to start with meats/veg/fruits for a few days and see what your weight does. Then add EITHER eggs or cheese for 2-3 days (make that your only new food). If your weight stays stable, stop that one and try the other. If still ok, try them together. I recommend this because you could have a mild sensitivity that would not show up eating only one of them, but would when you have both. If you react to a number of foods, you may wish to have blood work done to test for food sensitivities.
Some people can eat low-carb foods such as low-carb tortillas. You have to judge this for yourself. Dr. S. says "no starch", but these kinds of foods were not available when the protocol was written. Many low-carb or low-sugar foods have sugar alcohols in them. Although still carbs, they have less affect on your blood sugar than other types of sugars. Some people tolerate them well, others don't. Personally, I find sugar alcohols make me react pretty much the way sugar does- they cause me to crave more sugar, cause me to retain water, and anything other than small amounts may also cause diarrhea.
Do NOT try to stay on a low-calorie diet, without the hcg. That will cause edema (water retention) due to protein deficiency, and you will actually gain weight. Make sure you add at least one additional serving of protein per day; some people recommend doubling your protein. Most doctors recommend you eat at least 1200-1500 calories.
When I see people reporting their menus, it usually looks like they are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. Eggs, meat, cheese, dairy, nuts are all ok- but all are also high in fat. Dr. S. says that if you avoid the "so-called carbohydrates" that you may eat fats "somewhat more liberally". Since we're eating no added fats in Phase 2, I don't believe this is an endorsement to eat a high-fat diet. This may cause some people to gain, so be careful. Veggies and fruits have lots of needed enzymes, provide necessary fiber, and will help fill you up.
LIW (last injection weight) is the weight you are on the morning of your last dose of Hcg. You may lose a little more during those last 3 low-calorie days, but the object of P3 is to stabilize- so you should not allow your weight to go more than 2# above your LIW, or more than about 2# below your LIW. If you weigh yourself one morning and you are more than 2# above your LIW, this is when you would do a steak day. You eat nothing all day until dinner, although you may have as much coffee, tea and water as you like. Then you eat a huge steak, without salt, along with either a raw tomato, or an apple. This will help to bring your weight down the following morning. If you find your weight creeping up but it is not high enough to do a steak day, try a day where you eat only protein. This should also bring your weight back down.
By the way, Dr. S. contradicts himself a bit as to when to start P3. Some people start 72 hrs after their last shot, some people wait a full 3 days, which would be 96 hrs. If you choose 72, I'd recommend going ahead with greater quantity of P2 foods, and maybe adding in a couple of eggs for breakfast. But personally, I'd avoid adding in any fats until the next day. Dr. S. states that your body will be very sensitive to fats as long as there is even a trace of Hcg in your system.

War Of The Phones: Samsung Omnia Vs HTC Touch HD
MobileSpoon's WAR OF THE PHONES begins and the first episode (as you could have guessed by my first mobile comics attempt) brings back the Touch HD to face his appreciated opponent the Samsung Omnia. Enjoy!
Samsung Omnia vs. HTC Touch HD:
Both devices are considered to be high end WinMo phones, both of them have 5 megapixel cameras, GPS, Wifi, etc.,
Both of them have good performance (at least from what I've seen so far).
Here are some differences between the 2 devices.
The Touch HD is bigger and comes with a black color, in my humble opinion it's the best looking Windows Mobile device ever, which means it wins in the design category. If you prefer a smaller phone, you may actually prefer the Omnia.
Score: Touch HD 1:0 Omnia
Screen Resolution:
This is pretty obvious, the HD has an amazingly HUGE WVGA display. Samsung Omnia has a wide screen but it's just QVGA (WQVGA). While it doesn't look bad - there's no comparison with the HD's screen.
Score: Touch HD 2:0 Omnia
Built-in Memory:
Samsung Omnia is packed with 8GB Internal memory, which is a nice thing to have (you can add external SD card too). Not the kind of argument that would make you prefer one phone over the other, but still and argument.
Score: Touch HD 2:1 Omnia
Power Connector:
While the HD uses the standard mini USB connector, Samsung, for some reason, continues to use that old proprietary connectors.
I personally don't mind so much but I know many people see it as a big disadvantage.
Score: Touch HD 3:1 Omnia
Power Button:
OK, not sure you will see it elsewhere, but for me it's important;
The only way to wake up the Touch HD is the upper power button.
This is extremely annoying, because the location of the power button is not "single hand friendly". Bad decision HTC.
The Omnia, on the other hand, can be opened using the power button or any other hardware button which is much better.
Score: Touch HD 3:2 Omnia
The Omnia includes an optical D-Pad button that can also be used as a mouse cursor. The Touch HD does not have a D-Pad at all.
I can accept that the importance of the D-Pad becomes smaller when your user interface is completely finger friendly, but since we all know Windows Mobile is not there yet, a WinMo device must have D-Pad! And the HD doesn't have real solution to that, other than opening the virtual keyboard which is, again... annoying.
Score: Touch HD 3:3 Omnia
OK Button:
Another tricky thing I never forget to check is how simple it is to close the window using the smart minimize button (X or OK).
With the Omnia you have to pull up your finger and click the top right corner button, which is not comfortable at all. The Touch HD has a "back" button which acts as an 'OK' button when it's relevant.
Score: Touch HD 4:3 Omnia
UI Shell:
Both phones come with an extensive customized shell UI.
But, while the TouchFlo 3D looks amazing and covers a lot of the day to day functionality, the TouchWiz is a cool concept but not very productive.
Some people may prefer it, but I think that the TouchFlo is much better and is actually working fast on the Touch HD.
Score: Touch HD 5:3 Omnia
Additional Software:
Both phones are packed with pre-installed applications, but there is a clear advantage to the Omnia with an impressive list of finger friendly applications (alarm clocks, phone-books, smart converter, smart reader and many more).
Score: Touch HD 5:4 Omnia
Haptic Feedback:
The HD has some haptic feedback when using the hardware buttons, but the Omnia has a complete haptic feedback when using the D-Pad, keyboard, or any other button.
Score: Touch HD 5:5 Omnia (Draw!!!)
Automatic rotation:
Samsung Omnia switches between portrait to landscape in 100% of the applications. This is an amazing feature which even has the coolest randomized visual effects.
The HD, on the other hand, just like the Diamond, Pro, iPhone and the others - supports it only for specific applications.
Score: Touch HD 5:6 Omnia (Changeover!!!)
More About User Interface:
I've mentioned that in my Touch HD review, and I truly believe it's worth mentioning: the HD's screen is so big, that even the smallest, non-finger friendly control you can think of - becomes more finger friendly, because it's simply bigger. Add to that the fact that most of the menus are bigger as well and you end up with a pretty finger friendly device. Not perfect, but nice.
Score: Touch HD 6:6 Omnia
Dangling Stylus:
I never understood why Samsung did not provide the usual stylus ditch, and provided this strange looking dangling stylus which seems like a girly version of Star War's Lightsaber. Original idea, but not practical.
Score: Touch HD 7:6 Omnia (another changeover!)
Camera Flash:
Exists on the Omnia, does not exist with the HD.
Score: Touch HD 7:7 Omnia
Somehow, this ruthless battle has ended with a draw and no blood, but I assume every user will find some of the key points more relevant than the others.
My opinion is that the Touch HD is a better phone. Mainly because of the size, design and the VGA screen. But other people may actually prefer to have a smaller phone.
Here's a quick summary of pros and cons for each phone:
- Bigger, stronger, better looking
- Amazing WVGA screen display
- TouchFlo 3D
- Standard mini USB
- No D-Pad
- Hard to turn the device on.
- No automatic rotation for all the applications.
Samsung Omnia:
- Fun phone
- Fun optical D-Pad
- Auto-rotate for all applications
- Loads of custom applications wrapping much of the WinMo UI.
- WQVGA Display
- No easy shortcut for the OK button
- Dangling Stylus.

New Pharmaceuticals market report from GBI Research: "Generic Growth Strategies - Market Driven by Impending Patent Cliff, Declining R&D Productivity and Government Initiatives to Reduce Healthcare Costs"
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/14/2013 -- GBI Research, the leading business intelligence provider, has released its latest research, "Generic Growth Strategies - Market Driven by Impending Patent Cliff, Declining R&D Productivity and Government Initiatives to Reduce Healthcare Costs". The report provides a comprehensive overview of the generic drugs market in the US, the top five countries in the European Union (EU, covering the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy) and Japan. The report focuses on the detailed analysis of major strategies implemented by the top 10 generic companies in the generic drugs market along with company portfolios and strategic analysis. The report gives detail on the current landscape and changes that have structured the generic drugs market. The report also contains an impact analysis of the regulatory landscape in the major geographies pertaining to the generic drugs market. The report also provides in-depth analysis of the unmet needs, drivers and barriers that affect the global generics market.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary research and in-house analysis by GBI Research's team of industry experts.
The global generics market generated revenues of approximately $162 billion with a growth of 9.3% in 2011, representing about 19% of generic market share in the international pharmaceutical market. The generic pharmaceutical industry is significantly fragmented; the top 10 pharmaceutical companies accounted for 26% of global generics sales by value in 2011. The US has very high levels of generic utilization, with nearly 80% of prescriptions dispensed being generics.
The pharmaceutical industry will experience major patent expiries during 2013-2020, of which 2014 to 2017 are expected to be peak years, with the loss of patents for drugs whose sales were worth more than $76 billion during 2011. By 2015, branded products with sales of up to $135 billion will go off-patent, giving generic pharmaceutical companies immense opportunities to capitalize on the market. Along with generic drugs, pharmaceutical companies will also have the opportunity to develop biosimilars, as biologics with 2011 sales of approximately $64 billion will go off-patent over the next five years.
- Detailed study of generic growth strategies with special emphasis on strategies which help in combating intensive competition.
- Analysis of the major strategies adopted by companies looking to expand geographical reach.
- Analysis of the generic pharmaceutical market in the leading geographies of the world, which includes the US, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan.
- Key drivers and barriers that have a significant impact on the market.
- Competitive benchmarking of leading companies. Key companies studied in this report are Teva, Sandoz, Mylan, Watson, Actavis, Hospira, Sanofi, Daiichi Sankyo, Aspen and STADA.

The Birkenhead was a British iron, paddle-wheel frigate of 1400 tons. She was built in 1845 and converted into a troopship in 1848.
In December 1851, the Birkenhead sailed from Ireland, under the command of Captain Robert Salmond. She left Simon's Town on the morning of February 25, with 638 people on board, including 20 women and children, 138 ship's officers and crew as well as 480 army officers and men.
At about 2 am on the 26th February, she struck a submerged rock off Danger Point and in an instant the lower deck flooded, drowning many men in their bunks. All the surviving men, officers, women and children went up on deck. Lieutenant -Colonel Seton took charge of all the military personnel. The men were commanded to stand drawn up in line and to await orders and 60 men were sent to man the pumps.
The Captain made a grave mistake when he ordered the Birkenhead to be put astern; an action which caused the hull to rip open, further. The sudden inrush of water swamped the boiler fires and the vessel began to break up: in its collapse the funnel crushed the paddle-wheel lifeboat, killing the men who were trying to free it for launching.
Lack of maintenance and thick layers of paint frustrated the men trying to launch the boats. Eventually two cutters and a gig were launched and the women and children were rowed away from the wreck to safety. The horses were cut loose and Captain Salmond shouted to his men that everyone who could swim, must save himself by jumping overboard and to make for the boats.
At this order, Lieutenant-Colonel Seton commanded his men to stand fast, for should they make for the boats, they would endanger the lives of the women and children.
The Birkenhead broke up rapidly. Twenty-five minutes after she struck the rock, only the topmast and topsail yard were visible above the water, with 50 men clinging to them. The bow broke after 12 minutes, and then the vessel broke in two abaft the engine-room, the stern sank immediately.
In the tragedy 445 people lost their lives. 193 People, including all the women and children, survived.
The Birkenhead has secured a place in history due to the gallantry of her men, who, in the face of great danger, allowed the women and children to escape in the boats before trying to save themselves.
"The Birkenhead Drill" - Women and CHILDREN first!
Wish funding for cancer research worked that way....

The Massachusetts Insurance Blackout
Insurers go on strike after Deval Patrick imposes price controls.
This week it became impossible in Massachusetts for small businesses and individuals to buy health-care coverage after Governor Deval Patrick imposed price controls on premiums. Read on, because under ObamaCare this kind of political showdown will soon be coming to an insurance market near you.
The Massachusetts small-group market that serves about 800,000 residents shut down after Mr. Patrick kicked off his re-election campaign by presumptively rejecting about 90% of the premium increases the state's insurers had asked regulators...

(Chicagoist / European Pressphoto Agency photo)
When Rod Blagojevich is removed from the Office of Governor
and before any federal trial, will he continue to have these
dramatic press conferences with props and poetry?
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he wants to fight, fight and fight until his very last breath.
There are some who believe this is a sign of delusional behavior and some who say these are the actions of someone who feels singled out while a whole state of corrupt officials does the same thing, but on Friday, he came prepared to respond to his impeachment with people props, political poetry and the "golden rule."
Blago calls them the people who have been helped by his actions, such as expansion of healthcare around the legislative process, who are proof that he should be considered a hero instead of proof of evidence of his abuse of power.
Some say these people used as props were no more than human shields, but the folks at Chicagoist had an interesting perspective on three of the people props:
Person 1:
(Chicagoist) This man is very angry. Whether it's because he was napping in his office (as we would have been) or because the Governor is just plain pissing him off is unclear. But what is clear is that he isn't having any of Blago's bull.
(OpenlineBlog) Blago started the press conference much later than scheduled, so maybe the guy was upset his car was going to get towed outside the Thompson Center since he couldn't afford to feed much to the meters thanks to Mayor Daley's dramatic parking rate increases?
Person 2 - In Wheelchair:
(Chicagoist) This man is terrified. Mostly because he is the first line of defense. There is nothing else between him and Blago. We would wet ourselves if we were that close to The Hair.
(OpenlineBlog) He does look scared, but he might have been worried Blago was going to name him and disclose his medical condition like Blago did with the guy with the kidney replacement during the press conference. By the way, are those running shoes the guy in the wheelchair is wearing?
Person 3 - The kid:
(Chicagoist) Clearly, Blago possesses powers beyond our comprehension. He appears to have used the Force, a la Darth Vader, to incapacitate this toddler. While she dreams of unicorns and gumdrops, Blago is free to go about his scheme.
(OpenlineBlog) Yes, we completely agree.
Blagojevich quoted a poem from Alfred Lord Tennyson during a press conference in Chicago on the same day he was the first Governor impeached by the Illinois House and on the birthday of Blagojevich's favorite politician, former President Richard Nixon.
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield."
Blagojevich wasn't just satisfied with quoting a poem this time, but he also cited the "golden rule" during the press conference, which basically is to treat others the way you would want to be treated.
In case you think Blagorama will calm down next week, we note Blagojevich is technically scheduled to preside over the opening of the Illinois Senate on Wednesday, pursuant to law. The same Senate that will convene soon for his impeachment trial. Stay tuned...

How About Paying Us Back?
Drug companies have been raising their prices in anticipation of a government health reform program which may try to rein in uncontrolled drug price rises the companies have grown used to pocketing over the years. So, what's new?
As reported in the NY Times, the wholesale price of drugs has gone up about 9% in the last year while the Consumer Price Index fell by about 1.3% during the same period. The drug industry claims the prices have risen at this rate, a rate unprecedented for the last
15 years, for good and valid business reasons. Realists say the industry is preparing for health reform, one of the cornerstones of which is trying to curb drug spending.
Whichever it is, the consumer gets caught in the middle again. While the drug industry trumpets its agreement to cooperate in lowering the nation's drug bill by $8 billion a year in support of national health reform, it has already increased the nation's health bill by more than $8 billion even before the health legislation gets its legs under it.
The excuse they use is the old saw that they have to charge more to generate monies for research and development of new products. Drug manufacturers have been using this excuse for raising prices for decades although the real reason is to keep their shareholders happy.. But, nobody seems to give a darn about the end user, the person who desperately needs the drug to stay alive or functional. Whether or not these afflicted people can afford the price, they have to find some way to pay.
Speaking of new product research and development, how about the billions and billions taxpayers spend on basic research at universities which lead to the development of many of these drugs and medications? Why doesn't the taxpayer get a cut of the profits just as shareholders do? Why does all of the good stuff (profits) go to the company owners, while the taxpayer whose funds started the research and development, gets zilch?
It's amazing how the drug companies, among others, have no argument with the government (taxpayers) putting money into basic research which leads to discovery, but object to government (taxpayers) sharing in the fruits of discovery.
Businesses in public transportation are held to a higher standard of care in their business because of their obvious obligation to see to the safety of the public. Why aren't drug manufacturers which get a patent (and a monopoly) on a critical medication also held to a higher standard when it comes to pricing these vital drugs? These drugs also are an integral part of public safety for our most disadvantaged population – the elderly, the sick and the injured.
Not only that, the drug companies use the same "research and development" ploy to do away with the competition they claim to love. They get government agencies, which are huge buyers of their product, to tie their hands when it comes time to negotiate pricing, thereby bloating Medicare and other budgets, while fattening profits for "research and development". And, who ultimately pays? Us, the taxpayer.
It's time to stop blithely accepting the "research and development" excuse for allowing drug companies to price vital medications at whatever they choose. "Research and development" should be thoroughly researched to determine a valid percentage of cost which makes sense for the drug companies as well as consumers. Then that percentage should be used in pricing a new drug so that consumers are not swamped by what drug companies decide they need for "research and development".
Once that percentage is established, drug companies should not be allowed to price above what that percentage calls for. No more nebulous "trust us to be fair" leeway for drug companies to price at whatever they see fit while holding a monopoly on a patented drug.
If Congress and the drug companies won't go for that, then give the taxpayer a "research and development" percentage for all of the tax monies used to develop that drug.
But, don't add it to the price. Just take it out of profits, for a change

Manchester United manager David Moyes is delighted with Darren Fletcher's progress in his recovery from illness.
Fletcher has been suffering from ongoing problems resulting from a bowel condition called ulcerative colitis. He was unable to play for the second half of the 2011-12 season and though he made a comeback the campaign afterwards, his last competitive appearance for United was on Boxing Day in 2012.
The 29 year old has continued working hard to stay in the mix for another return and after playing 67 minutes against Fulham for United's Under 21 side Moyes says he couldn't be more delighted to have the star back on track for a return.
"It is great to get Darren back," the manager told Sky Sports. "It was the first time he pulled on a jersey in a competitive reserve league game (since the operation) and we're really pleased.
"We will bring him along, his training is coming along well, but we don't want to do anything that might give him a setback.
"It is a sort of steady, slow grind for him just now.
"But we are pleased and hope to involve him in the upcoming reserve games in the weeks to come, if he continues to do as well as he is doing now."
Fletcher's illness has been particularly difficult for the one-club man as there is no known medical cure.
But his return to training and participation in some competitive football once more has given the United faithful hope that they will see the man who has spent nearly two decades at the club return and offer more much-needed depth in midfield.

"Oishi and the others had no choice, but revenge." I strongly believe this, because their master Lord Asano was executed for the death of Kira, but Kira did not die. They lost a great master because of such a miserable man. The people of Ako had to leave their native land and most of their possessions had to be left behind. Oishi and his men remained patient and tried to stay calm. They decided to wait until word came about the petition that Oishi wrote, but their was never any word. The men of Ako were made of fools. They lost hope, but gained fire power. They wanted revenge on that horrid man Kira, who was the cause of such atrocities. Oishi agreed to this and they were going to take revenge on Kira and show him what it felt like when Lord Asano was executed. One must take vengeance on another human being, when they have done everything they possibly can, to handle matters in a different way.
A man and his men must indefinitely protect the honor of their deceased master and his land. It just wasn't right Kira being alive and Lord Asano being dead, Lord Asano's wife being separated from her daughter, and the confiscation of Lord Asano's property. "Oishi and his men had no choice, but to take revenge." The men of Ako had enough, they were going to defend their master's honor and put his spirit to rest.

Garlic-Ranch Buttermilk Kaiser Rolls
Hi everybody :)
I'm making bread again. This recipe come from Taste of Home Potluck!: 336 Crowd-Pleasing Favorites for Easy Entertaining. When I saw that it was a yeast bread recipe where you just add all the dry ingredients together and then add the liquids that what got my attention. The recipe also said the yield was 80 rolls, but I downsized it to fit my family. I wanted to learn how to shape a kaiser roll also, so after reading up on it. I thought these rolls would be good to practice my technique on. Plus I wanted garlic rolls for dinner tonight and bread dough for later usages. So, let's get it started...
Buttermilk Pan Rolls
4 1/2 to 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (It took me about 5 1/4 cups)
1/4 cup buttermilk blend powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 3/4 cups warm water (120° to 130°)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (not shown)
In large bowls, combine 3 cups flour, buttermilk powder, sugar, salt, yeast and baking soda
Add water and oil Beat until smooth Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes Place in a large greased bowl, turning once to grease top. (I used my kitchen-aid stand mixer to do this part)
|Before Rising
|After Rising
Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until lightly browned Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm, yield. 20 very small rolls.
What I Did and/or Think:
The original recipe makes 80 rolls. I downsized the recipe into 1/4 for 20 servings, but I think the rolls have to have been very small because when I finished the dough looks like it could have made maybe 12 regular sized rolls and 20 very small rolls. I wanted BIG rolls like the kaiser rolls at the store. So here's what I did...
First I prepared the dough as stated above, then I divide the dough in half. I put away the 2nd half to use later in a future post. With the 1st half, I divide into 4 parts. To make them Garlic-Ranch Buttermilk Kaiser Rolls, with each part, I roll into 12" ropes,
knotted. and tuck into kaiser rolls.... Not bad for my first attempt, huh :)
Place them on greased pan. I used the topping below to sprinkle over rolls before baking,
For the Garlic-Ranch Topping:
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon ranch seasonings (powdered mix)
1/4 teaspoon Ms Dash and Onion Herb Seasoning
Combine and sprinkle over top of rolls before baking.
next covered and let rise for about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes
The Taste: I love the taste of these rolls, soft, tender, and fluffy. The recipe stated they are best warm, and they are! They would be great with any Italian dish or soup recipe. These are definitely go on my REPEAT list. I'll just had to remember to double the amount next time because with this I got 4 BIG Rolls. My small family are BIG bread eaters :)
P.S: Stay tune for what I do with the 2nd. part of the dough :)
ENJOY! Come again...

As you may know, there have been substantial changes to the laws that affect condominium associations. As of yesterday, July 1, 2010, the following laws have taken effect. Please note that the below items are a summary of the actual law. If you want additional information on any of the below items, please contact me.
1. Collecting Rent Directly from Tenants: Section 718.116(11) was added to the Condominium Act. It states as follows: If the unit is occupied by a tenant and the unit owner is delinquent in paying any monetary obligation due to the association, the association may make a written demand that the tenant pay the future monetary obligations related to the condominium unit to the association, and the tenant must make such payment. The association may sue to evict the tenant as if the association were a landlord if the tenant fails to pay a required payment to the association. A tenant who acts in good faith in response to a written demand from an association is immune from any claim from the unit owner.
2. Denial of Common Areas: Associations are now allowed to deny owners or occupants the use of common areas and recreational amenities (not to include utility services, elevators or parking spaces) when the owner is more than 90 days delinquent in paying financial obligations due to the association and may deny the owner's voting rights.
3. Past-Due Assessments on Foreclosures: Lenders are now required to pay twelve (12) months or 1% of the mortgage, the lessor of. This is an increase from the six (6) months or 1% of the mortgage, the lessor of.
4. Sprinkler Systems: The requirement for mandatory retrofits of sprinkler systems in condos over seventy-five (75) feet high has been removed.
5. Insurance: The provision that required every individual unit owner to obtain hazard insurance has been repealed.

The first review
Lest any eagle eyed readers of this blog believe that I don't have a life, let me say that I've been up doing elf-stuff. But as I settled down for the rest of the evening (pun intended) I decided to check out the Whiskey Creek Authors group and read the Christmas wishes.
Instead, I got a great Christmas gift: A "Recommended Read" award from Fallen Angels Reviews.
Check out the link. Meanwhile, this old elf needs to get some rest. Having children late in life can be a bit stressful....

What is a percent?
A percent is a fraction out of 100 that we see almost everywhere without even thinking about it. Store sales have percents that you may think is a good deal but turns out to be more than you know.
Why is "%" the symbol for percent?
The symbol "%" actually means "out of 100". The two circles stand for a zero while the line is a 1. This explains why the percentage sign is stood out like that. French people decided to have 100 as the percent number because its not too little like 10 and not too big like 1000, it's just
A numerator and a denominator?!
A fraction is something that can make finding the percentage of a number 10x easier because the denominator is basically telling you what the 100% is. The numerator is than telling you how much of 100% you are using. ex 50/100= 50%. The denominator of a decimal is always 1 while the denominator of any other whole is 100.
What is 100%?
How do you get the percentage of 50 out of 100?
If you want to get 50% out of 100 you can divide 100 by two. You can divide any number into two and get its 50%. An example of 50%: (This is why 100% is better :D)
How do you get the percentage of 25 out of 100?
To get the percentage of 25 out of 100 you must divide 100 by 4. Even with a different whole number you may still divide the number by 4 and get the 25% of that particular number. ex: 100/4= 25, 200/4= 50.
How do you get the percentage of 10 out of 100?
You can get the percentage of 10 by dividing the denominator and the numerator by 10,and than moving the decimal into the place value that its supposed to go to determined by how much was divided if a decimal is needed. ex. 100/10=10
How do you get the percentage of 1 out of 100?
To get the percentage of 1 out of 100 you have to divide 100 by itself,If the denominator is not 100 than you must divide by 100 anyways. ex: 100/100=1, 50/100= 0.5.
How do you find the percentage of a "ugly" number out of 100?
If you have found what 1% is out of 100 you can determine any number by multiplying it by the "ugly number". ex: 1% of 100= 1x37=37. 37% out of 100 is 37.
Representing Percent:
Percents can also have fractions of 1 single square (ex.0.6) and percents more than 100 (180).
If you have a percent that is a fraction in one single square. You have to show it by making it larger.
Sales and Percents: Daily life
In our daily lives we have percents but never really think about them. The usual spots where we see percents are mall sales. Some people just think "WOW! ITS A SALE" and think it's very cheap but no! Some sale prices are actually raised up to a bigger price than before, making no difference or very little.
Decimals and Percents
All decimals can be turned into a percent by multiplying by 100. All decimal numbers have the denominator of 1 while everything higher and a whole, has the denominator of 100.

All decimals can be turned into a percent by multiplying by 100. All decimal numbers have the denominator of 1 while everything higher and a whole, has the denominator of 100.
If you have a percent larger than 100, you use another grid.180%, 180 out of 100, or 1.80 out of 1
Microscopic maximization numbers
0.6%, o.6 out of 100 or 0.6/100
0.6%, o.6 out of 100 or 0.6/100
Mixed fractions on 100 grid
12 and 3/4 %, 12 3/4 out of 100, or 0.12.75
Converting Percents Fraction and Decimals.
Fraction -> Decimal -> Percent
Question: 3/40
Answer: 3 divided by 40=0.075 (decimal) 0.075x100= 7.5% (percent)
Decimal -> percent -> fraction
Question: 0.0064
Answer: 0.0064x100= 0.64% (percent) 0.64% find the place value.In this case it is 0.64/100
Percent->decimal-> fraction
Question: 750%
Answer: 750% divided by 100= 7.5 to find the fraction you have to say the number. In this case it's is 7 and a half because .5 is half of a whole number. 7 1/2
Representing Percents:
Percent ->decimal-> fraction
- 26%
26/100 (26 divided by 100)= 0.26 . To find the fraction all you have to do is say the number out loud. 26/100.
Fraction ->decimal->percent
- 7/10
7/10 (7 divided by 10)= 0.7 . 0.7x100= 70%
Decimal ->percent -> fraction
- 0.024
0.024x100=2.4, find the place value and set it up; 2.4/1000\
Converting how much a percent is:
To find 20% of 60 you have to turn 20 into a decimal. You divide 20 by 100 (20/100) and get a decimal ( 0.2). 0.2x60=12.
Mental Math:
I have made a t-chart
0.1/100=0.001 . 0.001x40= 0.04
Mental Math: I have made a t-chart
250/100 (250 divided by 100)=2.5 . 2.5X250= 625
Mental Math:
Because 250 divided by 100 is 2.5, if you multiply that by 100 you will get 250. What you do on one side will be done to the other due to equivalent balance.
Question 5 (Sargent Park Math Zone):
You have to find 90% because it is easier. To find 90% you have to divide 90 by 100 and than multiply the number you get also by 100 because it is the number of caribous that we are talking about in year 1.
90 divided by 100 is 0.9
After you get 0.9 you multiply it by 100 which is 90. 90-100=10. This means 10% is 10.
Than you do the same thing with the 20. You find 80 and divide 80 by 100. After you get 0.8 you multiply it by 100 getting 80. 80-100= 20. This means 20% is 20.
Question 5 Show you know (Sargent Park Math Blog):
Store A: 50% off only 1 day
Store B: 25% but followed by another 25% the next upcoming day.
Made up number: 200
If store A has a sale of 50% the price would be 100.
If store B is having a sale for 25% . 25% of 200 is 50 because 200 divided by 4 is 50. This means that 25% is 50. 50-200= 150. The next day they had another sale in the store for 255 again. 150 divided by 4 would equal to 37.5. 150-37.5- = 112.5

PARLIAMENTARIANS from all over the Commonwealth were given a tour of Southport.
People from as far afield as Australia and Oman met MP John Pugh and Councillor Lord Ronnie Fearn and local councillors at the town hall.
The visitors said they had really enjoyed visiting the North West, and were particularly impressed with Southport.
Senator Isacc Shabangu, from Seychelles said: "There is one big thing I have noticed about your town – it is very clean. We have been to have a look at the golf course where The Open is being held and I think it's a very nice golf course. It's the first time I've been to this part of the UK and I am very impressed."
The visit was part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association UK branch international seminar on governance.
The seminar always comprises visits around the United Kingdom for Commonwealth parliamentarians to observe and understand the different types of governance in the country.
Mr Vincent Mwale MP, of Zambia, was particularly impressed by the Southport hotel with the same name as him – The Vincent.
He said: "The town is lovely and clean and the streets are not over-crowded.
"There seems to be a lot of developments going on at the moment which will improve the town even more. I could really see myself living in this part of England."
The visitors were taken on a tour of Southport's major sights.
Hon Lin Thorp MLC, from Tasmania, said: "I think Southport is beautiful and it seems to have kept all the charm of the olden days.
"I particularly like the old Victorian buildings which give it such character.
"The town seems to have everything one needs to live well."

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (WPVI) --Charlotte police have released body and dashboard camera footage of the fatal shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Dashcam video from Charlotte Police:
Police say Scott also possessed a handgun and marijuana at the time.
The shooting of Scott on Tuesday has prompted several days of demonstrations that coalesced around protesters' demands that police video be seen by the public.
Police have said Scott was shot on Tuesday because he refused commands to drop a handgun. Residents have said he was unarmed.
Police Chief Kerr Putney said at a news conference Saturday that Scott "absolutely" had a gun but that it's not shown in his hand in the videos. Putney said the video supports other evidence that all must be considered together.
