Super versatile, it can be cooked to a creamy thick consistency, or allowed to set then sliced into chips.TO COOK: Boil 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle in 1 cup of polenta, while stirring with a wooden spoon. Turn heat to low and cook further for 45-60 minutes, stirring frequently. The polenta is cooked when there are no more gritty bits. Stir in a knob of butter and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.TO MAKE POLENTA CHIPS:INGREDIENTS:• 4 cups water (or stock)• 1 teaspoon salt• 1 cup Ceres Organics polenta• 2 garlic cloves, minced• 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more to coat chips)• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary• 1/2 teaspoon paprika• Ceres Organics Mayo• Ceres Organics Sriracha SauceHOW TO:1.

Jobs are not easy to come by, but when you do find a job, it can seem too good to be true. Some job applicants excitedly complete and submit a job application and then regret their decision once they have had time to think things through. What is the best way to turn down a job offer if you decide it is not right for you?
Before the Job Interview
Turning down a job before the job interview can be tricky, especially if you believe you stand a good chance of being offered the position at the end of the job interview. If you are certain that you will not want to accept the position and you are called for interview, the best thing would be to decline to attend the job interview right then and there rather than agree to attend the job interview. That way, you will not be wasting your time or the time of the interviewer.
During the Job Interview
Before you turn down the job offer, wait to see how the job interview pans out. It is possible that you will experience another change of heart during the job interview, especially if some of the issues you have about the job are resolved or clarified. However, if you still feel the same way, you will need to speak up at the end of the job interview. The interviewer will generally make it clear if you have been successful at the close of the interview. But if you are certain that you do not want the job, make your intentions known.
After the Job Interview
After you have attended the job interview, go home and mull how the job interview progressed. Were your objections confirmed or overcome? Do you think you may be able to do the job after all? If you are sure that you are just not cut out to do the job you initially applied for, wait to see if you are given a job offer. If the interviewer does not offer you the job at the end of the interview, wait for the phone call or letter, and then proceed based on the interviewer's decision. Sometimes the decision will be made for you when you are turned down for the position, which will save you the trouble of declining the job offer.
Do not hastily turn down a job offer. Think through your decision and make sure that you are making the right decision for you. But if you are certain of your decision, decline the job interview or make your intentions known during the interview. If you are not offered the job following the job interview, wait to hear back and then proceed based on the interviewer's decision.

Senior Advocates of the Desert
Senior Advocates of the Desert is the Coachella Valley's only nonprofit social service organization dedicated exclusively to helping low-income seniors obtain the government benefits to which they are entitled, but have been unable to access on their own. The assistance we provide often results in a livable income, food in the kitchen, a safe comfortable place to live, full healthcare benefits and in-home help that keeps seniors out of hospitals and nursing homes. This also benefits our community as a whole and reduces the burdens on organizations such as food banks, emergency rooms and shelters. We also provide emergency financial assistance to qualifying low-income seniors who, through no fault of the their own, find themselves in a financial crisis. This is a service greatly needed and under-served here in the Coachella Valley and we feel fortunate, as the recipient of several grants, to be able to help seniors in need.

More than 75,000 MBNA credit card customers face losing their rewards points and cashback perks after the provider announced plans to close two card accounts.
Account holders with an MBNA Rewards Credit Card or MBNA Credit Card with Cashback will no longer be able to earn any reward points or cashback after 22 September 2017, with a final cashback payment being processed in October.
Users of these two American Express cards must also redeem any reward points that they have accrued by 30 November 2017, or lose their points.
The provider estimates around 76,000 customers will be affected by the changes. Each user will be sent an MBNA Visa credit card, which does not offer any cashback or rewards.
Customers will receive this new card by the end of November 2017 but can continue using their current cards until the replacement arrives.
Those customers who do not wish to transfer to the new card will be given the option of paying off their remaining balance and closing the account, or given the opportunity to apply for another credit card in the MBNA range.
MBNA no longer offers any MBNA-branded reward or cashback cards, but it does manage the reward credit cards offered through airlines such as Emirates and Virgin Atlantic. Details of these accounts can be found on the MBNA website.
'We are contacting all impacted customers'
MBNA says it is making changes to its rewards and cashback cards to ensure it remains in line with the rest of the market.
It blames changes to the way providers are able to charge 'interchange fees' for the squeeze on rewards and cashback cards. European Union legislation introduced in December 2015 restricted the amount card companies could earn from retailers.
A spokesperson for MBNA says: "Like many brands in the market, due to changes in legislation which impact rewards payouts, we regret that we are no longer able to offer certain MBNA rewards and cashback cards to certain customers.
"We are contacting all impacted customers to let them know about these changes and how they can redeem any reward points that they have accrued. Any cashback that customers have earned this year will be paid to them by the end of October."
What are the best credit cards for cashback?
If you're looking to switch away from MBNA, then the American Express Platinum Cashback Everyday Card has an introductory offer of 5% cashback on spending up to £100 for the first three months. After that, cardholders will earn 1% cashback on spending over £5,001 per year and 0.5% if they spend below this amount. The card has a representative interest rate of 22.9% APR variable.
Another option is the Aqua Reward Credit Card. Customers will receive 0.5% cashback on all spending up to a limit of £100 per year. This card is designed for those with a poor credit history (although anyone can apply) so beware of the high interest rate. Pay this card off in full every month to avoid paying the representative 34.9% APR variable on your balance.
If you want to earn reward points there are six Moneywise Best Buys to choose from. The Amazon Platinum Credit Card, Asda Money Cashback Credit Card, John Lewis Partnership Card, M&S Bank Shopping Plus Credit Card, Sainsbury's Bank Nectar Purchase Credit Card, and the Tesco Bank Clubcard Credit Card are all worth considering – depending on where you shop.

I recently had a need to determine the number of days between two dates. Given the abundance of date related support in CocoaTouch, it is a pretty simple process, the biggest challenge is to know which frameworks and methods to call.
One approach to determine the number of days is shown below:
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; [formatter setDateFormat:@"MM-dd-yyy"]; // To use a specific start date // NSDate *startDate = [formatter dateFromString:@"02-16-2013"]; // Start with todays date NSDate *startDate = [NSDate date]; // End date NSDate *endDate = [formatter dateFromString:@"12-28-2013"]; [formatter release]; NSCalendar *gregorianCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar]; // Notice the components:NSDayCalendarUnit specifier NSDateComponents *components = [gregorianCalendar components:NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:startDate toDate:endDate options:0]; [gregorianCalendar release]; NSLog(@"Days between %@ and %@ is: %d", startDate, endDate, [components day]);
The output will look as follows:
Days between 2013-02-15 02:33:48 +0000 and 2013-12-28 05:00:00 +0000 is: 316
If you have another way to get to the same place, feel free to post a code example.

wow, good info! good video, keep it up and thanks : ]
I like that idea of drinking lemon water first thing in the a.m. I'm going
to start doing it….. makes sense to me. I do the Psyllium daily. Can't
say I've hear of Triphala…. Good stuff though…… I stopped in to see
your video to see if you had any comments about Roxanthin. Supposedly its
the nutrient that makes Salmon bright pink and also what makes Flamingo's
turn pink and according to a doctor that was being interviewed by Dr.
Oz….its the newly discovered super nutrient?
Anyway…..I appreciate your comments and I have to say……I'm am as
regular and can be because of Psyllium. Love it! Tomorrow and from now
on…..Lemon Water! :0)
I'm always happy to come across information like you have provided –
thanks. I too am on a journey to healthy habits for myself and my family.
Great !
What i do like about this video is the effects of drinking water to break
your fast. It also stated that body produces B complex while sleeping,
therefore drinking water right after waking flushes the vitamin in the
body, to supply the over all body with B complex.
Good Information on Healthy living & building immunity
@Herbalhills Thanks so much for the comment!
@myhealthytribe I am so pleased the information can help you on your
journey. Stay tuned, we are ramping up production and will be launching a
radio show the first week of Sept., along with more frequent video posts.
Just shot one yesterday on healthy foods for kids on the go. Thanks again
for stopping by!
@srvblueslvr Bravo! More good info to come. Be well, Lori
@srvblueslvr I have not yet heard of roxanthin until now, but intuitively
it makes sense. Nature always has the best pharmacopia, we need to let her
guide us more often! Ramping up for more videos and posts, thanks for
tuning in!

From: The Athens News Agency at <http://www.ana.gr/>
[01] ND, PASOK sec't commentsBoth secretaries for two large mainstream political parties, ruling New Democracy and main opposition PASOK, were quoted in an Athens daily on Sunday, with ND Secretary Lefteris Zagoritis dismissing the latest press speculation regarding early elections, a recurring theme in many Athens dailies' political coverage in non-election years.
In referring to the ongoing difficult international economic situation, Zagoritis said the government is working hard to push through with its reforms and changes.
Meanwhile, PASOK secretary Yiannis Ragoussis stressed that "all of our cadres realize that the party cannot suffer another (election) defeat", whereas the country's good demands that the next government be led by PASOK. He also projected that PASOK will win the most votes in the 2009 Euro-elections.
Both men were quoted in the Sunday edition of the Athens daily "Eleftherotypia".

[02] Activists reach Gaza coastOne of the two wooden vessels (caiques) that arrived on Saturday afternoon in Gaza, part of an effort to symbolically bypass an Israeli blockade, will attempt to return to Cyprus on Tuesday carrying 10 Palestinians students, according to reports.
The two boats, carrying 46 peace activists, arrived without incident in the Gaza Strip from Cyprus on Saturday, despite warnings from Israeli officials.
Speaking to the CNA from Gaza, one of the activists, Israeli professor Jeff Halper said that "we broke the siege of Gaza ... the reason Israel let us through was because we did not constitute a security threat."
"Israel has no right not to allow free movement in the region as long as a ship, or an airplane, or a traveller does not constitute a security threat and is willing to be checked for weapons," he added.
He announced that one of the two boats that arrived last night in Gaza will attempt to return Cyprus on Tuesday carrying 10 Palestinians students, adding that "this is a test of breaking the siege". (CNA/ANA-MPA)

Rwanda, land of a 'thousand hills,' conjures up a varied number of memories for many of us but the most vivid are images of the 1994 genocide. An atrocity, which left over half a million people dead, and forced the international community to make its promise of 'Never Again.' But when it mattered most, the same international community pulled out its peacekeeping forces, and to save face, set up the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) similar to the one set up for Yugoslavia, precedents which led to the formation of the International criminal Court (ICC.)
However, will this court serve justice where it really matters without political interference?
In his insightful offering, Thierry Cruvellier an investigative journalist and editor of International Justice Tribune, who observed the ICTR from 1997 to 2002, gives a firsthand and absorbing account of the daily legal drama at the tribunal as they unfolded. Set up in November 1994, the ICTR was charged with the task of bringing the perpetrators of the heinous crimes which gripped the world and continues to be a point of fascination to justice. Cruvellier quickly established that justice for those who were wronged was not going to be as straightforward as many would have liked.
From the trials of the alleged key players, like Jean-Paul Akayesu, Jean Kambada, Georges Rutaganda and Georges Ruggiu, he details the political dance and interference which would taint the tribunal and force many to question the legal and moral framework on which it was established. He exposes legal flaws and complexities of the same tribunal with its continuous double-dealing with some of the alleged criminals it was supposed to being to justice. Cruvellier also does an exposé of the administrative and legal failures that would almost see the likes of Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza get away for their role in the genocide. He goes on to raise questions about the one sided form of justice that was dished out, a term he refers to as 'Victor's justice.' While the Hutu perpetrators were being prosecuted, no one from the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) was ever arrested nor was there an effort to find out about crimes which may or may not have been carried out by the other side. With the Hutus effectively defeated and removed from power, the RPF which brought the massacre to an end and was now in power, would go on to hold the international community to ransom and in a way use its failure to help the Tutsis as a guilt machine to assert pressure on the tribunal when it wanted to.
One thing is certain, the key testimonies captured by Cruvellier enlarge our insight into the skill with which the brutality was dished out to victims. It also shows how ordinary men lost every form of humanity and became skilled killing robots on a plantation with no master to control them. This is an enthralling read that will leave you angry, remorseful and force you to question the principles of justice on national and international levels. It would also make a riveting court room drama series for television with the exception of one crucial reality; Rwanda's story and continuous quest for justice is real. It is real life with real people whose national pain and loss is forever ingrained in world history.
Court of Remorse: Inside the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (Critical Human Rights), is a must read for anyone who is intrigued and has questions about the events of 1994, but has never fully understood what happened in those brutal 100 days or why the international community still cannot keep its promise of "Never Again."
Court of Remorse: Inside The International Tribunals For Rwanda, is published by University of Wisconsin Press (US)

21 June, 2012
You are here:
While the official UN conference on sustainable development, known as Rio +20, opened this Wednesday, June 20, on the basis of a draft statement considered by many organizations as unacceptable, the initiators of the People's Summit organized a massive protest in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, which seems to have attracted at least 50,000 people. For social and climate justice and against the financialization of nature.
Lucia Ortiz, one of our spokespeople in Brazil speaks 1:48 minutes into this video with part of the Friends of the Earth International delegation in the background.
Nnimmo Bassey, chair of our organization, said "I was invited to be at Rio center with the heads of the states, but that chair was left empty, as this is the place to be, with peoples in the struggle in the street, here is where the power is!"

Neighborhood life expectancy gaps are fairly common and driven by a range of factors, such as poverty, infrastructure and access to health care. The Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) is collecting and mapping life expectancy data for several cities.
USA Today (2/3/16) Feds Examine Health Benefits of Screening and Linking to Social Services

Jack lives with her father and older brother, Andy. At night, something dark sneaks into their house. Jack isn't sure what the creature is….but she knows it is something she was never meant to see. It steals things, things that give joy or hold happy memories…..toys. She calls it The Toy Thief. The dark being with the strange eyes doesn't just want to terrorize them….it wants much more than that.
From the description of this book I was really excited to read it, it's a fresh and original idea. Unfortunately this book missed the mark with me, there were some parts that were creepy, but all the jumping around in time and topic was confusing and somewhat irritating. I didn't really like the main character, she was very arrogant and rude, so I couldn't connect with her. She also blamed everything that goes bad around her on the fact that her mother died during childbirth. The guilt she has over her mother's death, which she feels responsible for, feels insincere and is repetitive very early in the book.
I wish there was more of a focus on the toy thief, those were the parts that really grabbed me and sent chills down my spine. I feel there was a lot of gaps that could have been filled in with more on the toy thief. But by the time I had learned about what made the toy thief what it was I had already been so disconnected from the book that I really didn't care, I had to force myself to finish this book.
Other then not liking Jack I didn't have any feelings about other characters. For instance we first meet her brother Andy during the mutilation of an animal that Jack thinks is already dead. Now this being the first meeting you would think that he'd be a pretty scary kid but because it's told from Jack's point of view, and she isn't scared of him, he felt flat to me.
Overall I think this would have been a great novella if the author would have focused more on the toy thief, I also think if it was told from a different point of view it would have worked better. I really didn't like the way the story unfolded, the jumping around just makes it confusing and frustrated me a lot. I hate when it takes me so long to read books and this was definitely one that took to long, I could set it down and basically forget about it.

United States District Court, D. Utah
May 9, 2018
IHC HEALTH SERVICES, INC. dba, INTERMOUNTAIN MEDICAL CENTER, Plaintiff,v.CADENCE AEROSPACE, LLC, and PREMERA BLUE CROSS, Defendants.
Benson United States District Judge
the court is Defendant's Motion to Transfer Venue. (Dkt.
No. 13.) The Motion has been fully briefed by the parties,
and the court has considered the facts and arguments set
forth in those filings. Pursuant to civil rule 7-1(f) of the
United States District Court for the District of Utah Rules
of Practice, the Court elects to determine the motion on the
basis of the written memoranda and finds that oral argument
would not be helpful or necessary. DUCivR 7-1(f).
operates Intermountain Health Medical Center in Salt Lake
City, Utah. (Complaint at ¶ 1.) In December of 2014,
J.J., a man from Arizona, received emergency medical
treatment for a heart condition from Plaintiff while on a ski
trip in Utah. (Id. at ¶¶ 26-31.) At the
time, J.J. was a beneficiary of an employee benefit plan (the
"Plan") provided by Defendant Cadence Aerospace,
LLC ("Cadence"), which contracted with Premera
Blue Cross ("Premera") to insure the Plan.
(Id. at ¶¶ 3-11.) Cadence, a Delaware
corporation with its principal place of business in
California, was the Plan Administrator of the Plan within the
meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 ("ERISA"). (Id. at ¶ 8.)
Premera, a non- profit corporation headquartered and
incorporated in Washington, was the health insurer for J.J.,
and Cadence's agent. (Id. at ¶¶ 9-10.)
its emergency medical treatment of J.J., Plaintiff submitted
its claims to Defendants for payment. (Compl. at ¶ 23.)
The billed charges for J.J.'s claim totaled $106, 843.64.
(Id. at ¶ 20.) Defendants paid $45, 137.39, and
denied the remaining charges "contending that the
treatment was performed out of network and exceeded usual,
customary, and reasonable charges." (Id. at
¶¶ 21, 24.) Plaintiff then filed this action
pursuant to ERISA, 29 U.S.C. § 1001 et. seq.,
alleging three causes of action: failure to provide ERISA
benefits, breach of fiduciary duty, and failure to produce
plan documents upon written request. (Compl. at ¶¶
17, 41-64.)
now seek to transfer venue to the Western District of
Washington "[f]or the convenience of parties and
witnesses, in the interest of justice" pursuant to 28
U.S.C. §1404(a).
in this case is governed by ERISA. ERISA's venue
provision permits an action brought under ERISA to proceed:
1) "in the district where the plan is
administered"; 2) "where the breach took
place"; or 3) "where a defendant resides or may
be found". 29 U.S.C. § 1132(e)(2). That provision
further provides that "process may be served in any
other district where a defendant resides or may be
found." Id. The Tenth Circuit has held that
this provision authorizes nationwide service of process.
Peay v. BellSouth Med. Assistance Plan, 205 F.3d
1206, 1210 (10th Cir. 2000). "Thus, provided that due
process is satisfied, § 1132(e)(2) confers jurisdiction
over defendants by authorizing service of process on
them." Id. And, if jurisdiction comports with
due process, venue is also appropriate under the third prong
above-that jurisdiction is placed in a venue where Defendants
"reside[] or may be found." 29 U.S.C. §
1132(e)(2). Defendants have not argued, nor does the court
find, that the exercise of jurisdiction in Utah fails to
comport with due process. Thus, venue is proper in Utah.
determined that venue is proper in Utah, the court must
determine whether it should exercise its discretion to
transfer the action "[f]or the convenience of parties
and witnesses, [and] in the interest of justice, …to
any other district or division where it might have been
brought." 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Defendants
"bear[] the burden of establishing that the existing
forum is inconvenient" and "[m]erely shifting the
inconvenience from one side to the other…is not a
permissible justification for a change of venue."
Scheidt v. Klein, 956 F.2d 963, 965 (10th Cir.
considering a motion to transfer venue under § 1404(a),
courts in the Tenth Circuit weigh the following discretionary
the plaintiff's choice of forum; the accessibility of
witnesses and other sources of proof, including the
availability of compulsory process to insure attendance of
witnesses; the cost of making the necessary proof; questions
as to the enforceability of a judgment if one is obtained;
relative advantages and obstacles to a fair trial;
difficulties that may arise from congested dockets; the
possibility of the existence of questions arising in the area
of conflict of laws; the advantage of having a local court
determine questions of local law; and [ ] all other
considerations of a practical nature that make a trial easy,
expeditious and economical.
Chrysler Credit Corp. v. Country Chrysler, Inc., 928
F.2d 1509, 1516 (10th Cir. 1991) (internal quotation marks
argue that this forum is inconvenient because the witnesses
and proof in this case are in Washington. Plaintiff argues
that the witnesses and proof are not primarily in Washington,
that the witnesses and proof are less significant in cases
where, as here, litigation is limited to an administrative
record, and that the court should give deference to
Plaintiff's choice of forum. The court agrees with
Plaintiff that the witnesses and proof in this case appear to
be neutral with respect to venue, as Plaintiff's
witnesses and proof are found in Utah, while Defendants'
witnesses and proof are in Washington (and perhaps Delaware
or California.) Merely transferring the burden of
inconvenience from Defendants to Plaintiff is an insufficient
basis for a transfer of venue.

transferred under facts similar to those of this case to

Permanente, 2009 WL 2614682 (D. Utah 2009); IHC
Health Services, Inc. v. Eskaton Props., Inc., 2016 WL
4769342 (D. Utah 2016); Danny P. v. Catholic Health
Initiatives, 2015 WL 164183 (D. Utah 2015). However, in
other similar instances, this court has declined to transfer
venue, particularly where the Defendant does not provide the
court with evidence establishing the inconvenience of the
Utah forum. See Brightway ...

Canyonlands is truly a different world. It has been shaped by the mighty powers of the Colorado and Green Rivers. These two rivers converge in the middle of Canyonlands and divides the park into 3 distinct areas Island in the Sky, The Needles and The Maze. Island in the Sky is the most popular and populated areas in the park.
The Maze is a little-known land with little or no marked trails. The only way to get there is via high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicle and as the book says the "chutzpah" to drive it down the hair pin turns of "Flint Trail". Arriving is only part of the challenge, you then have to explore a virtually unknown area without getting lost. Although we are here for adventure, this is one that we will skip.
The Needles is full of colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone and has many opportunities for day long hikes and overnight back country hiking and camping. There is also a scenic drive (on gravel roads) with a couple of shorter hikes. We want to see this part of the park, but have not made it down there yet, it is about 2 hours south of where we are staying, but stay tuned as we will go there eventually.
So far, we have only explored the Island in the Sky section. It is truly an Island in the sky at about 6,000 ft. it is a mesa of grassy fields and colorful buttes, it has a very unassuming appearance until you reach the edge. From there you look down about 1,400 feet to a lower layer of hills and valleys, that then give way to intricate canyons. The canyons are rimmed by a distinctive white sandstone that stand out against the greenish upper layer and grey canyons. The sheer size, and depth of the view is awe inspiring and a little frightening. You will notice a road near the white rim, it is a 100 mile backcountry road that is estimated to take at least two days by vehicle or 5 days via mountain bike, needless to say we are not planning on doing this trip.
Anyway, pictures of the landscape, and an Arch on the edge of the cliff reminiscent of Arches NP about 35 miles away.
I have discovered a fear of heights that I really never knew I had. At the overlook in Joshua Tree Keys View, I was uncomfortable even experiencing a little vertigo but got used to it after a couple of visits. Same occurred at Dante's View in Death Valley, but nothing like trying to hike the rim of Island in the Sky. There is an easy hike one mile out and back, we made it about half way and I just could not continue. I was not only uncomfortable for Randy and myself, but others on the trail kept getting so close to the edge and jumping from rock to rock that I was a nervous wreck. A little slack, but I didn't see how the view could get better just by moving another half mile when you could see for 10s of miles all around. Below is the rest of the trail we choose not to do.
There is also a crater called upheaval dome on the western edge of the mesa. We took the steep hike up to the rim of the crater for an amazing view. The crater is approximately 3 miles across and its origin is unknown. In geologic terms it is relatively young at less than 170 million years old. They speculate that it was either the result of a meteor strike or a collapsed salt dome. Recently (1990s) the theory of meteor strike has been supported by a study by a team of geologists and seismologists from NASA and the University of Nevada at Reno who performed a detailed study that included seismic refraction and rock mapping. In 2008 they also found shocked quartz which could only have been formed by the high pressure caused by a meteorite strike or a nuclear explosion. We buy the meteorite theory.
Peace and Love!!

We have spent much of this year identifying and meeting with potential charity partners in the non-profit sector who either work in local communities in Russia or promote Russian culture abroad.
We seek to work with charities which adhere to the highest ethical standards and whose impact is clear to those who benefit directly from their work.
We very much hope to be in a position to announce the Foundation's charity partners before the end of 2018.
In the meantime, if you have a personal interest in supporting a specific charity which works in Russia, please do let us know via the Contact page.
Thank you for your patience!

2017 Kia Sportage vs Subaru Forester
We are currently updating our monthly offers. Please check back shortly for updates.
In the meantime, here are some links that you might find helpful:
Although it might look a lot more like a wagon than a traditional SUV, the Subaru Forester has some impressive capability and a small but devoted band of fans. But can it truly compare to one of the more popular crossover SUVs on the market, the 2017 Kia Sportage? Let's see how they compare when they're put side by side.
2017 Kia Sportage vs Subaru Forester
Styling: Kia Sportage
Kia has been on its styling game lately, and nowhere in the range is that more apparent than the latest Sportage. The Kia Sportage has a muscular and aggressive design that's likely to stand the test of time. If you are looking for a rugged appeal without the features (and price tag) associated with that look, the Sportage has what you want.
You can't hide the tall wagon styling of the Subaru Forester, which, except for the ride height, doesn't have a lot in common with what you might imagine an SUV to look like. Of course, if a wagon is your jam, the Subaru is a great choice–especially if you're looking to pair it with SUV capability. But if you're looking for an SUV, we're thinking you'd like it to look the part.
Power and Performance: Kia Sportage
Four-cylinder engines are the order of the day with the Sportage, with one being naturally aspirated and the other being a turbo. The non-turbo is a 2.4-liter unit that develops 181 horsepower, while the turbo is a 2.0-liter that puts an impressive 240 horsepower at your disposal. Front-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission are standard with both engines, but all-wheel drive is also available.
The Forester 2.5i models have a 2.5-liter flat-four under the hood that puts out 170 horsepower, which is a little below expectations these days for this type of car. The Forester 2.0XT is an entirely different animal, though–a 2.0-liter direct-injected flat-four that produces 250 horsepower. The smaller engine comes mated to a six-speed manual or a CVT, while the larger engine is unfortunately CVT-only. The base engine is less powerful than the Sportage's, and the Forester doesn't come with a traditional automatic transmissions–both of these things may be a turnoff for buyers.
Interior Comfort and Quality: Kia Sportage
Don't let the fact the Kia Sportage is one of the smaller models in its class tempt you into thinking that the interior won't be your favorite, because you'll be wrong. Kia has pulled off interior magic by making the absolute best use of the space available, giving you both space and comfort as well as flexibility. The Sportage's seats can adapt to your needs, support passengers well, and impress you with the quality of the materials–all at the same time. For a reasonably priced SUV, the Sportage's finishes are actually quite impressive, giving the Sportage an edge over its competitors.
As you might expect looking from the outside, the Forester focuses on space and utility over luxury and style. The mix of materials is, well, mixed, but the abundance of space is nearly unmatched in this class. The seats are not as supportive as they could be, though, and utilitarian feel is not to everyone's taste.
Fuel Economy: Subaru Forester
Base LX versions of the Kia Sportage are rated at 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and the 2.4-liter engine. Clearly, the Kia strikes an outstanding balance between efficiency, which makes budget-conscious drivers happy, and performance, which makes everyone happy.
With the 2.5-liter engine and CVT transmission, the Subaru Forester is rated by the EPA at 26 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg combined. These numbers are even more impressive when you consider all-wheel drive is standard, so this round definitely goes to the Subaru.
Learn More about the Kia Sportage
If practicality is your main focus when looking for a new compact crossover, you'll be hard pressed to do better than the Subaru Forester. But if other factors, such as style, comfort, and desirability are on your list of must-haves, the 2017 Kia Sportage is the winner by a mile. While the Forester is known for its space and practicality, the Sportage competes well in these areas too. For the best overall value, the Kia Sportage is the best bet every time.

Mini Filtro sin jeringa UNIPREP, septa ranurado 0.2µm PTFE
La imagen es solo una referencia, puede diferir e incluir accesorios no disponibles en el producto.
Mini Filtro sin jeringa UNIPREP, septa ranurado 0.2µm PTFEMini UniPrep Syringeless Filter, Slit Septa 0,2µm PTFE 1000/pk
Mini-UniPrep Syringeless Filter, translucent housing, slit septum cap, 0.2 µm, PTFE filtration med Mini-UniPrep syringeless filter All-in-one filtration process allows you to process sample loads in one-third the time. Wide range of membrane choices from 0.2 and 0.45 µm pore sizes to meet specific sample application requirements. Compatible with most major autosamplers. Fewer consumables required. This all-in-one device eliminates the need for syringe filter, syringe, vial and septum. Reduce costs by up to 40%. Slit septum cap enables Mini-UniPrep use with current robotics on HPLC instruments for high throughput automation Durable yet flexible slit septum cap has been specially designed for instruments with sensitive sampling needs. Sample evaporation is minimal. Mini-UniPrep Syringeless Filters provide a faster and easier way to remove particulates from samples being prepared for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)/Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) analysis. In fact, Mini-UniPrep lets you prepare samples in one-third the time required by other methods. Add up the time savings, plus the money saved from cutting multiple consumables out of the sample preparation process and you'll see huge benefits for your laboratory. Mini-UniPrep is a preassembled filtration device consisting of a 0.4 ml capacity chamber and a plunger. The plunger contains a filtration membrane at one end and a preattached cap/septum at the other. The plunger is pressed through the sample in the outer chamber and positive pressure forces the filtrate into the reservoir of the plunger. Air escapes through the vent hole until the locking ring is engaged, providing an air-tight seal. Within seconds the Mini-Uniprep can be placed into any approved autosampler for injection into your instrument. The device can be used either manually or with a compressor unit. The multi-compressor can process up to 6 samples at one time, further improving sample processing time and reducing the risk of hand stress.

Big Mess o' Wires backcountry logger:
If you're just tuning in, the backcountry logger concept is a portable ATmega-powered device that collects temperature, air pressure, and altitude data, and shows graphs on a built-in LCD screen. It's intended for hikers, climbers, and other outdoorsy folks who want to know if it was colder last night than three nights ago, whether the ridge they're on is the 10200′ or 10600′ one from the map, or whether a storm is likely soon. Much attention has been giving to minimizing power consumption, so the battery should last many months.

Frontier works extensively with retailers nationally. From there we see things, hear things, and we see differences between these retailers who are competing within the same market.
Most modern day businesses operate according to the same principles: constantly and consistently move faster than the competition, whomever that may be. We need to innovate and we have to be the best. In a dog-eat-dog market, everyone's a pitbull. The interest doesn't lie in the size or aggressiveness of the dog, but the speed in which it became so big and aggressive. How does a dog of the same breed become so large at a much higher rate of speed than its predecessor?
What is the difference?
Here's a story that rang some bells over at Frontier, it hits on topics that have to do with IT, so let us shed a little light on it.
Some stats say it all….
Interestingly, businesses that operated in the retail market had increased sales of up to 17.4% in 2012, compared to an average overall national drop of 0.6%. This may be explained by the heavy investment in interactive POS, floor level multi-media, and pushed interactive media to the retail floor by such businesses (this is what they eluded to).
Frontier Networks are key advisors to retail. We are specialists and know the 'plumbing' required to deliver innovative retail solutions.
Here are some timeless ideas:
- Create 'redundancy' in POS payment processing: This means primary and secondary IP connectivity to each store location. Primary could be Frontier ADSL/VDSL/EoC with the backup being a very inexpensive 3g/4g wireless. If the primary drops, the secondary kicks in, keeping POS and payment processing preserved.
- Increase bandwidth on a per store basis: New speeds provide for symmetric or asymmetric connections that can achieve up to 50 mbps inexpensively. This would allow the introduction of 'media' rich applications that would typically not be available on the older broadband connections.
- Utilize SMS Gateways: That are available from providers like Frontier to provide innovative 'sticky' communications with your customers and prospects. Frontier can provide many options to get this done like SMS termination and short codes to name a couple.
- Old equipment must die: The old routers cannot scale, and they ever could, this is not news to anybody. It is surprising to note that some customers with VPN services max out at a miserable 500 kbps of traffic. You could get a pipe upgrade, but this is simply a Band-Aid, your service will continue to limp along until the infrastructure is updated. Also, a 5 year old router is waiting to die on its own. Just take it out.
- Consider the over-lapping field teams that exist: As a broadband provider, we have a field force that we use for router roll outs. We also use the same group to accommodate field replacement of failed devices to support our service level objectives. What else could we do? Site audits? POS replacements? Pinpad swap outs?
- Implement Frontier Voice. We price it out different in Retail environments. It works real well and can save you an easy 60%. It is easier to support. Way easier.
- Physical Security. We are going to be making more noise about this one over the next few weeks. It is amazing! It fixes finally the "how do I get rid of the phone line that my security company says I need".
Paying for these upgrades may seem daunting, but Frontier is offering to hand you a bag of cash. I'd say its worth the call.

Another team looking for their first point are Gedling Southbank, they welcome mid-table Keyworth United to Eagle Valley on Friday evening. Rounding out the Friday night games are Eastwood CFC Development nd Cotgrave, who meet at the Play Soccer USA 3G Arena.
On Saturday, league leaders Awsworth Villa, and their 100% record, travel to the Forest Recreation Ground to play FC Cavaliers, who only tasted defeat for the first time themselves last week.
Aslockton & Orston, Cavs' conquerors last time out, host AFC Dunkirk at Spa Lane while the still unbeaten Bingham Town welcome Sandiacre Town to Butt Field.
Magdala Amateurs and Attenborough meet at Roko.
In Division One, Ravenshead have Dan Phillips available for his first appearance of the season and Ryan Towle, their recent signing from Hucknall Town, is also in contention for a start. Mark Smallwood remains injured, however, as Radford Reserves visit Cornwater.
Leader Woodthorpe Park Rangers are without a game so Basford United Community will see if they can nab top spot as they head to Bestwood Miners Welfare.
It is also possible for Bridgford United to edge into first but they would have to win big against Wollaton Reserves at Hollinwood Lane. Ditto Kirton Brickworks as they welcome Beeston to Station Road.
Selston Reserves will attempt to get their first points on the board at the third time of asking as they entertain AFC Bridgford at the Parish Hall Ground and Southwell City Reserves host Mansfield Hosiery Mills at the War Memorial Ground.

One of the new teams to the NSL, Eastwood CFC Development, are also in action, as they welcome Wollaton to the Play Soccer USA 3G Arena. Eastwood will be looking to push on at the top end of the division after dominating at a tier lower last term whereas it is more likely to be a season of consolidation for the visitors.

There's also Friday night action in Division One, however, where Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves, after taking voluntary relegation, entertain the Division Two champions and Junior Cup holders, Woodthorpe Park Rangers, at the Stag Ground. Woodthorpe are hoping that they are able to persuade their, and Division Two's, top marksman from last season, Markell Bailey, to re-join their ranks for the coming campaign.

Hoover High Class of '68 Will Rock Out with Chuck Negron
Jul 26, 2018 11:00AM

The Show Must Go On
August 2018

IN "THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE," Marcia pulls off the impossible, booking Davy Jones of The Monkees for her high school dance. It's one of those classic movie moments, when a big star performs on a small stage in front of his most avid fans. For most people, such a concert will only ever be the stuff of Hollywood, but not for Hoover High School's class of 1968.
On September 15, 2018, the class of '68 will take a page out of Marcia's playbook and host Chuck Negron (formerly of Three Dog Night) to perform its 50th class reunion.
"Fifty years was a big deal to us, and we didn't want to do anything that was the same old, same old," says organizer Dianne McKneely. "I mean, we've already done four."
"We didn't want to do your typical ballroom reunion," adds co-organizer Mike Cavale. "So we decided to do a concert."
The reunion committee, which also includes Richard Wukits, Francy Martinez, Dianne Osborne and Karen Alexander, met to listen to music, "and I started playing some Three Dog Night and everybody got really excited about that," says Cavale.
Though voted class clown in '68, Cavale was all business to pull off a concert worthy of 50 years. A partner with Visalia's Rainmaker Productions, Cavale has booked nationally touring bands like Jethro Tull, Martina McBride and 3 Doors Down. Now add Chuck Negron to the list, the lead vocalist for such hits as "One," "Easy to be Hard" and "Joy to the World."
With Negron booked to perform at Fresno's Tower Theatre, the class of 1968's reunion is turning into the kind of concert that's the envy of lower– and upperclassmen everywhere. But worry not. Organizers decided to open the concert to the public, meaning whatever class you belong to, whether it's '67 or '17, you can purchase tickets for the show at the Tower Theatre website for about $40 to $60.
Though open to the public, a literal red carpet will exist for the class itself, and a private entrance to the concert through The Painted Table, where hors d'oeuvres will be served between 6 and 8pm. A post-concert reception will follow the concert back at The Painted Table.
With Cavale, McKneely and company breaking every stereotype for what a class reunion could and should look like, it begs the question just how much such a high-profile reunion will cost.
"Well, for our 40-year reunion, we had a dinner and disc jockey, and that cost $85 a person," says McKneely. "But for this we're charging $95."
That's just an extra dollar a year over the last 10 years, which with inflation probably means tickets are cheaper to see Chuck Negron in 2018 than to experience a disc jockey in 2008.
But even if the higher price causes some pause, Cavale and McKneely say it's more important classmates come than worry about the cost of a ticket.
"If we knew somebody who wanted to come in the past and couldn't afford it, we'd make sure they could," says McKneely. "We don't know how many more times we're going to get to see each other."
The reunion will include what McKneely calls A Wall of Remembrance, "for those who have gone before us, because at our age we've lost quite a few."
So McKneely and Cavale hope a big concert won't just offer big entertainment, but also drum up more interest than for past reunions.
"Hopefully the excitement of a great concert along the reunion itself will draw people," says Cavale. "Maybe people on the fence will get excited enough to want to come hang out with us."
Cavale and McKneely have helped plan every past class of 1968 reunion. And while 50 years is a benchmark in itself, they wanted this year to be special by donating proceeds from the concert back to Hoover High School.
"The plan is to get them a hefty check, hopefully, and do something that the school may need," says Cavale.
And with more reunions behind than before them, now is a good time to leave a legacy by giving back to the school that was formative for so many, that it might continue to be formative for so many more. Plus, there's never a bad time to rock out to those Three Dog Night classics, and spend time with those who can appreciate those tunes most. •
