Have you finally decided it's time to make a budget or at least get your some of your expenses under control? Well, one of the first questions you should have is how much should be allocated to each expense area. The best way to answer that question is to use what others are spending for each type of expense and build your budget from that starting point.

For most consumers there has to be a decision on whether to build your retirement savings or to build a college fund for your children. This is a very tough decision and one that can be emotionally charged. The best way to answer which should be a priority is to take the emotion out of the question and look at it as a pure financial dilemma.

One of the most important building blocks for a sound financial future is to be prepared for the unexpected…and having an emergency fund is the key to being prepared financially. Many times emergency funds are derailed because we don't have enough saved or we use them for non-emergency items.

Irony? Asking John, a PSA lemming, to confront Joe Orlando is hardly the same as my not giving selfish John information that he could not figure out in 100 years.
In my initial reply to you I told you to contact Sean. You are not even able to do that but had to wait for him to come to you. You are much too self-absorbed.
I do not "slam" people as you say. I only give back what I am given. You only feel bullied around because of your cowardly demeanor. John, don't shoot the messenger. I am not the enemy.
Quote:Hey Sean,I am not sure what additional information John is seeking. It seems that you have given him the information about the company (ebay id) that WIWAG is conducting business under.You can always send me an e-mail.ThanksGreg

Photonics And The Future Of Medicine
Photonics West serves as the perennial indicator of market trends for the photonics and optics industries. At this year's event, held last month in San Francisco, one of the pervasive themes I observed in both the technical conference and the exhibition was the increasing role photonics and optics are playing in the development of advanced biomedical technologies. That trend is poised to continue well into the future.
5 Key Challenges Facing The Photovoltaic Industry
For an allegedly "dead" industry, photovoltaics is doing just fine. At least that was the message communicated to attendees during a special panel session at Photonics West 2014 exclusively dedicated to trends in solar energy. Titled Green Photonics: A Solar Revolution, the session covered topics ranging from emerging technologies to growing a business in this challenging but promising market.
Executive Perspectives On The World Of Optics And Photonics
At Photonics West 2014 last week, seven top executives from photonics and optics companies offered insights on current trends and future opportunities in the industry during the panel session on "Executive Perspectives on the World of Optics and Photonics." During the session, the panelists shared their views on the previous year and the years ahead and answered questions from a packed room of attendees. While they acknowledged that 2013 had its share of struggles, there was a lot of optimism surrounding the industry's current status and its prospects for the future.
The MS-IR uses a high-speed filter wheel to perform 8-channel multispectral target signature analysis. Its user adjustable rotating speed can go up to 100 Hz, meaning it can support an up to 800 fps frame rate. The camera's high dynamic range ensures the highest possible contrast and accuracy in the images it captures.
Connector Polisher for Waveguide Process Flexibility: FLex™
Krell's FLexTM fiber optic connector polisher is ideal for R&D laboratory settings and can be used to process waveguides, PLCs, optical chips, and fiber arrays. It supports a variety of component dimensions, a variety of angles, an auto feed function, in-line video inspection, and user-definable features.
Lasers for Communications Applications
Modulight offers lasers for laser cinema and projectors, laser shows and simulators, and display backlighting. Solid-state visible lasers provide unparalleled brightness and color, better power, and higher efficiency than what current conventional lamp technology provides. In some cases, they've even been integrated into flat panel displays and television for backlighting.
STS Spectrometer Takes Flight On UAV
A pair of super-lightweight Ocean Optics STS microspectrometers is helping researchers investigate plant parameters in a verdant patch of New Zealand grassland. The compact STS model spectrometers, one deployed as a ground unit and the other aboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), are making synchronized hyperspectral measurements of barley and sugar beet crops to assess plant characteristics for more effective crop management
Silicon Photonics: Automated Alignment / Manufacturing of Fiber-Optics Components
A turn-key system for automating silicon photonics processes.
Where Are The Biggest Biomedical Opportunities For Optics And Photonics Technology?
At Photonics West 2014, we asked 14 optics and photonics technology companies what they saw as the greatest areas of opportunity in the biomedical market. Check out the videos below to see what each had to say.
Lens Design, Manufacturing, And Vision Systems For Medical Devices
On the last day of the MD&M West Exhibition, Chuck Gerlowski with Precision Optics took us through some of the more interesting products displayed at their booth. Check out the video for information on a 4.2 mm CMOS scope, a 1 mm fiber scope, and micro prisms as small as 50 microns (or half the size of a human hair).

Atomic Switcheroo Explains Origins Of Thin-Film Solar Cell Mystery
Treating cadmium-telluride (CdTe) solar cell materials with cadmium-chloride improves their efficiency, but researchers have not fully understood why.
Steering Chemical Reactions With Laser Pulses
Usually, chemical reactions just take their course, much like a ball rolling downhill. However, it is also possible to deliberately control chemical reactions: at the Vienna University of Technology, molecules are hit with femtosecond laser pulses, changing the distribution of electrons in the molecule.
Miniature Spectral Imaging Camera
The use of Spectral Imaging to improve image analysis and allow discrimination between visually identical objects is increasing. Gooch & Housego has applied high speed acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) to develop the HSi-440C Hyper-Spectral Imaging microscope system for biomedical research which allows video rate processing of high resolution images.
Modifying Laser Beams 101 – No Way Around It, So Here's How
There are many applications for lasers in the world today with even more on the horizon. In order to apply a laser to an industrial process, medical therapy or communications technology it is usually necessary to modify the laser beam to achieve the desired results. Laser beam measurement tools make this possible. In this article we will discuss how to match an appropriate laser beam profiling technique to a laser application. The topics will include building an aligned optical system, collimation and focusing, high power laser quality measurements and proper attenuation techniques for making accurate laser measurements. By John McCauley, Product Specialist, Ophir Photonics
Selecting The Right Deformable Mirror — Part 1: Imaging
Choosing the right deformable mirror can be challenging with the extensive options available these days. In this article, I will explore some of the basic questions you should ask in order to help determine which type of deformable mirror is best suited for a given application. This list is by no means exhaustive, but if one has an understanding of these topics, the journey to creating spectacular images and accurately shaped beams will be much smoother and equally as rewarding. In this two-part series, I am starting with imaging, since this is a field that is constantly expanding to new disciplines and often involves researchers who are not familiar with adaptive optics. In part two of the series, I will discuss choosing the right deformable mirror for beam shaping applications. By Michael Feinberg, Director of Marketing and Sales, Boston Micromachines

All Food Recycling Compost Kit with Bokashi
Bokashi Refill For All Food Compost Kit
With the Bokashi compost bucket, now it's easy to discard meat, fish, dairy and even bones right in your kitchen without turning or creating unpleasant smells. Developed in Japan, the All Food Recycling Compost Kit quickly and odorlessly converts your organic waste into a high-grade soil conditioner through the use of effective microbes or Bokashi — a Japanese word meaning "fermented organic matter."
Similar to the process used to make wine, this system relies on fermentation to decompose the matter rather than putrefaction, so no offensive odor is produced. In about 10 days, you can bury the nutrient-rich matter in the garden or empty the Bokashi kitchen compost bucket into your compost pile to help improve physical, chemical and biological environments in the dirt. Sprinkle a handful of Bokashi onto the waste every time you add to the bucket. One bag of Bokashi is good for one bucket full of compost. Japan.
All Food Recycling Compost Kit with Bokashi Features:
- Includes composter and 1 gallon bag of Bokashi
- Additional Bokashi refills available separately
- Converts organic waste to a high-grade conditioner
- Odor-free composting in approximately 10 days

Spinneret is a structured storage engine that can be thought of as an extended tuple storage system. It takes the best aspects of relational, object, and hierarchical databases and throws away the dead weight associated with those technologies. The benefit of Spinneret is that its data model is incredibly flexible, allowing it to expose its underlying data in any number of ways. It operates similar to an object database, but without hard ties to an originating language, and can also behave like a relational database without the burden of complex joins.
Wine Management tracks wine production from harvest through bottling. As a record keeping system, it tracks history of wine compositions in all detail. It tracks variety, area, year, yield, and taste. Because it accumulates wine lost to processing and updates the yields, you always know the values when it was produced. Quantities processed by work center are kept up to date. Almost any level of inventory is available by month, including any combination of variety, area, year, taste, storage, and others. Tank lineup may prove very profitable with faster processing and reduced cellar cost and crews. It can find the best pipes to use based on either number of pipes, flow, or heat loss.
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform- specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behaviour regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.

I am the vine and you are the branches. So says one of acclaimed designer Veronica Benally's favorite pieces of scripture that provides the inspiration for this elegant gemstone and sterling silver floral ring. A beautiful freeform cabochon of mother of pearl provides the exquisite backing for a blooming flower overlay of sterling silver. The split shank is also decorated with intricately carved blossoms. Representing the spirit that unites us all, this gorgeous ring is a work of artistic glory. The ring measures 1" long x 7/8" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the natural gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

New Jersey Devils Tickets
The New Jersey Devils are coming off a disappointing 2013 campaign but will look to return to the playoffs behind legendary goaltender Martin Brodeur. Many are speculating that it could be the final season for the future Hall of Famer, so don't miss a second of the action at the Prudential Center. Order your New Jersey Devils tickets for all of the games on the NHL schedule, including Devils playoff tickets.

Devils Ticket Info
After reaching the Stanley Cup Finals last season, the New Jersey Devils took a step in the wrong direction in the 2013 campaign. The Devils finished a disappointing 11th in the Eastern Conference and 5th in the Atlantic Division. Hockey experts knew it would be difficult for New Jersey to repeat their efforts from the previous season as they had 10 unrestricted free agents heading into the offseason. They were able to retain future Hall of Fame goaltender Martin Brodeur and veteran defensemen Bryce Salvador, but not their former captain, Zach Parise. Parise signed a 13-year contract worth $98 million in the offseason to play with his hometown Minnesota Wild.
The Devils had a hard time getting on track during the course of the '13 NHL regular season. The lockout surely didn't help an aging Devils roster which had to play much more frequently with only 48 games on the schedule. New Jersey was officially eliminated from playoff contention on April 21st when they were defeated by the rival New York Rangers by a score of 4-1. The Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference is certainly one of the most difficult in the league. It features the Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, and Philadelphia Flyers, all of which had playoff expectations going into the 2013 season. Unfortunately for Devils fans, the team finished with just 48 points and a very mediocre record of 19-19-10. The Devils will look to return to the playoffs in the '13-'14 season in what many believe will be Marty Brodeuer's final season.
Head coach Peter DeBoer will look to bring the Devils back to the postseason next season when the league will shift back to a full 82 game season. New Jersey Devils tickets at the Prudential Center can often be difficult to find but not with the help of GoTickets. We have a great selection of seats for all of the games on the Devils schedule, including New Jersey Devils playoff tickets. Order your Devils tickets today and catch all the exciting action!

Milan Fall 2012: Fendi, Etro, Moschino, Just Cavalli
FirstView View Gallery
(MILAN) Fendi
Mix master Karl Lagerfeld uses the Fendi runway as a venue for experimentation—how luxe can you go? The fur business will remain core, but Lagerfeld continues to reinvent what, exactly, that means. For Fall, it's antelope, croc, sheared mink, a bit of pony, and lambskin, often worn, hybrid-ized, in a part wool or half-leather coat. Lagerfeld's girls tend to communicate a warrior vibe—blame it on the extra-wide, almost cartoonish belts—but Silvia Fendi's handbags coax this transcendent goddess back to the city streets. For Fall, her statement bag was an ultra-slim iPad case with a formed handle. This is all the briefcase you need, n'est-ce pas?
Seventies-style chic at its best—which is to say, future-oriented. Etro is known for the prints so rigorously executed that they've applied an entirely new concept of luxury to the bohemian aesthetic, and for Fall, they were applied sparingly, but with great effect. An orange and red paisely coat, for example, with noir lapels, worn over lace-trimmed black leather tights, and a fierce, skintight pencil skirt, worn with a prim black jacket trimmed in chartreuse fur. A series of black evening dresses with cutout or transprarent panels will prove especially appealing on the tapis rouge.
To the sounds of peppy drums, Rossella Jardini unveiled a military-chic parade of brights, replete with her signature cowgirl hats. Adieu, maxi lengths—chez Moschino, the mini is back in full force, preferably quilted and in leather. Royal blue, red, and black and white, topped off with the requisite dose of gold bling, showed up in swingy, statement-button coats, leathered jackets, and ruffled tutto. The last look, an all-over ruffled cocktail dress in a hyped-up shade of rose, summarized Jardini's chronic optimism.
Just Cavalli
The Milan runways are trending towards minimal, and Roberto Cavalli's effort for his main line's younger sister conveyed the sentiment. Looks were generally leaner, with a more body-con silhouette and a focus on separates (cropped emerald trousers) and knits (a chunky same-color sweater). Striped pants, for both sexes, were key, as was patent, used winningly in a loose-fit grey pant. Ditto on the black-and-white trend, especially in stripes. The flyaway hems and peasant blouses will be as popular as ever, but the streamlined shifts add an ultramodern element to the mix.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAngina 2 to 3 grams three times per day [2 stars]In one study, taking arginine improved the ability of angina sufferers to exercise. Detailed studies have proven that arginine works by stimulating blood vessel dilation.Congestive Heart Failure 5.6 to 15 grams per day with a doctor's supervision [2 stars]The body needs arginine to make nitric oxide, which increases blood flow. This process is impaired in people with CHF. It also has been shown to improve kidney function in people with CHF.Erectile Dysfunction 1,670 to 2,800 mg daily [2 stars]Blood vessels need arginine to dilate and form an erection. Supplementing with arginine has been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction in some studies.HIV and AIDS Support and Preservation of Lean Body Mass
(Glutamine, HMB)
1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice per day [2 stars]The combination of glutamine, arginine, and HMB may prevent loss of lean body mass in people with AIDS-associated wasting.Male Infertility 4 grams daily [2 stars]The amino acid arginine is needed to produce sperm. Research shows that several months of L-arginine supplementation increases sperm count, quality, and fertility.Pre- and Post-Surgery Health 12.5 to 18.75 grams daily before and after surgery [2 stars]The amino acid arginine has a role in immune function, infection prevention, and tissue repair after injury, including surgery.Sickle Cell Anemia and Pulmonary Hypertension 100 mg per 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of body weight, three times per day as L-Arginine[2 stars]People with pulmonary hypertension (a life-threatening complication of sickle cell anemia) who received L-arginine had significant improvement in one study.Athletic Performance and Body Composition and Strength Refer to label instructions [1 star]At very high intakes, the amino acid arginine has increased growth hormone levels, which stimulate muscle growth. Trials combining weight training with arginine and ornithine showed decreases in body fat and increases in total strength and lean body mass.Female Infertility and In Vitro Fertilization Refer to label instructions [1 star]Supplementing with L-arginine has been shown to improve fertility in women with a history of failed attempts at in vitro fertilization.Gastritis Refer to label instructions [1 star]The amino acid arginine may both protect the stomach and increase its blood flow.Hypertension Refer to label instructions [1 star]The amino acid arginine is needed by the body to make nitric oxide, a substance that allows blood vessels to dilate, thus reducing blood pressure. Arginine given orally and intravenously has been reported to help reduce blood pressure.Wound Healing Refer to label instructions [1 star]Arginine appears to improve wound healing by increasing protein synthesis.
The amino acid arginine has several roles in the body, such as assisting in wound healing, helping remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone.
