|Mold allergy
Along with pollens from trees, grasses, and weeds, molds are an important cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis. People allergic to molds may have seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms from spring to late fall due to outdoor mold exposure. The mold season often peaks from July to late summer. Unlike pollens, molds may persist after the first killing frost. Some can grow at subfreezing temperatures, but most become dormant. Snow cover lowers the outdoor mold count dramatically but does not kill molds. After the spring thaw, molds thrive on the vegetation that has been killed by the winter cold.
In the warmest areas of the United States, however, molds thrive all year and can cause year-round (perennial) allergic problems. Mold can also cause allergic rhinitis symptoms year-round if there is mold indoors (such as mold from water damage or humid rooms) like in a finished basement. Molds growing indoors can cause perennial allergic rhinitis even in the coldest climates.
What is mold?
There are thousands of types of molds and yeast, the two groups of plants in the fungus family. Yeasts are single cells that divide to form clusters. Molds consist of many cells that grow as branching threads called hyphae. Although both groups can probably cause allergic reactions, only a small number of molds are widely recognized offenders.
The seeds or reproductive particles of fungi are called spores. They differ in size, shape, and color among species. Each spore that germinates can give rise to new mold growth, which in turn can produce millions of spores.
What is mold allergy?
When inhaled, microscopic fungal spores or, sometimes, fragments of fungi may cause allergic rhinitis. Because they are so small, mold spores may evade the protective mechanisms of the nose and upper respiratory tract to reach the lungs.
In a small number of people, symptoms of mold allergy may be brought on or worsened by eating certain foods, such as cheeses, processed with fungi. Occasionally, mushrooms, dried fruits, and foods containing yeast, soy sauce, or vinegar will produce allergic symptoms.
Where do molds grow?
Molds can be found wherever there is moisture, oxygen, and a source of the few other chemicals they need. In the fall they grow on rotting logs and fallen leaves, especially in moist, shady areas. In gardens, they can be found in compost piles and on certain grasses and weeds. Some molds attach to grains such as wheat, oats, barley, and corn, making farms, grain bins, and silos likely places to find mold.
Hot spots of mold growth in the home include damp basements and closets, bathrooms (especially shower stalls), places where fresh food is stored, refrigerator drip trays, house plants, air conditioners, humidifiers, garbage pails, mattresses, upholstered furniture, and old foam rubber pillows.
Bakeries, breweries, barns, dairies, and greenhouses are favorite places for molds to grow. Loggers, mill workers, carpenters, furniture repairers, and upholsterers often work in moldy environments.
Which molds are allergenic?
Like pollens, mold spores are important airborne allergens only if they are abundant, easily carried by air currents, and allergenic in their chemical makeup. Found almost everywhere, mold spores in some areas are so numerous they often outnumber the pollens in the air. Fortunately, however, only a few dozen different types are significant allergens.
In general, Alternaria and Cladosporium (Hormodendrum) are the molds most commonly found both indoors and outdoors throughout the United States. Aspergillus, Penicillium, Helminthosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Mucor, Rhizopus, and Aureobasidium (Pullularia) are also common.
There is no relationship, however, between a respiratory allergy to the mold Penicillium and an allergy to the drug penicillin, which is made from mold.
Are mold counts helpful?
Similar to pollen counts, mold counts may suggest the types and relative quantities of fungi present at a certain time and place. For several reasons, however, these counts probably cannot be used as a constant guide for daily activities.
One reason is that the number and types of spores actually present in the mold count may have changed considerably in 24 hours because weather and spore dispersal are directly related. Many of the common allergenic molds are of the dry spore type -- they release their spores during dry, windy weather. Other fungi need high humidity, fog, or dew to release their spores. Although rain washes many larger spores out of the air, it also causes some smaller spores to be shot into the air.
In addition to the effect of day-to-day weather changes on mold counts, spore populations may also differ between day and night. Day favors dispersal by dry spore types and night favors wet spore types.
Are there other mold-related disorders?
Fungi or organisms related to them may cause other health problems similar to allergic diseases. Some kinds of Aspergillus may cause several different illnesses, including both infections and allergy. These fungi may lodge in the airways or a distant part of the lung and grow until they form a compact sphere known as a "fungus ball." This occurs only in people who have had significant lung problems in the past. In people with other serious underlying illnesses, Aspergillus may grasp the opportunity to invade the lungs or the whole body.
In some individuals, exposure to these fungi also can lead to asthma or to a lung disease resembling severe inflammatory asthma called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. This latter condition, which occurs only in a minority of people with asthma, is characterized by wheezing, low-grade fever, and coughing up of brown-flecked masses or mucus plugs. Skin testing, blood tests, x-rays, and examination of the sputum for fungi can help establish the diagnosis. Corticosteroid drugs are usually effective in treating this reaction. Immunotherapy (allergy shots) is not helpful.

On the back of today's Age "Sunday Life" fluff liftout is an ad that made my jaw drop – mentions St Valentine's day, romantic picture of a couple walking under blossoming trees, picture of the products (jewellery)…
… but the brand name… "Pandora"!
Ever heard the common phrase "Opening up a Pandora's Box"?
I wondered if the person suggesting that name was an idiot, a cynic after a very ugly marriage, or thought it a nice sound while assessing the wealthy demographics as untutored… or probably two out of three.
The message for the guy buying the ring? "The girl might have a lot going for her, apart from trustworthiness – things will get really ugly with the worst things happening – things so bad you'd never heard of them before – and there won't be even a glimmer of hope."

Flickr is still a source for magazine-quality photojournalism, but average point-and-shooters seem to have migrated to Facebook to share their images, experts say. Despite the news, Yahoo has no intention of selling off the profitable photo site.
"The Internet is starting to rotate around the axis of Facebook — not everything, but everything social," Jordan Rohan, an analyst with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company told the New York Times. "Yahoo and Flickr don't really have the gravitational pull that would make Flickr the axis that they once imagined."
Flickr, which was bought by Yahoo in 2005 for $35 million, has 21.3 million users in the United States, about a 16 percent drop from a year ago, according to comScore. In that same December 2009 compared to December 2010 time frame, Facebook's photo-sharing tools rose 92 percent to 123.9 million users. (Not to worry, you can log into Flickr with a Facebook account.)
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
While Matthew Rothenberg, head of Flickr, said that he expected Flickr to continue to grow, its founder Stewart Butterfield found fault with Yahoo for not growing the service when it had the chance because of its bloated corporate structure, the New York Times reported. "We just missed some opportunities that we could have tried if we were independent and raised our own money," Butterfield said. "Who knows what would have happened?"
Still, Yahoo has no plans to sell Flickr.
The Sunnyvale-based Yahoo has rid itself with several of its properties, but it's unlikely Flickr will be one of them -- with its profitable catalog of around 5 billion images and videos. Facebook is a social media behemoth and will likely stay that way for the next few years, at least until people migrate to other social networks based on interests or criteria. However, Flickr has established itself as a respected and quality site for photos and that reputation should be considered an asset in an Internet climate where quality is frequently considered the lowest common denominator.
Yahoo selling off Flickr would be a very bad move. Luckily, it already seems to know this.

I had an AWESOME day today (okay, technically yesterday because it's late) and before I go into great detail about all the great stuff I did and saw earlier (tomorrow's posts, so stay tuned!), I want to do a short post about the little thing I ended the day with. After an incredibly fulfilling and educational day visiting with sponsors and learning about options for green building materials and photovoltaic systems, I stopped by a health food/healthy lifestyle store on my way home that I'd never been to before. I went there specifically to pick up the Sprout-Ease Econo-Sprouter Toppers. These are a set of 3 grated lids (in 3 different sized grates, and made of recycled plastic) that fit onto your standard mason jar. These nifty jar toppers allow you to easily sprout lentils, radish seeds, mung beans, and anything else you can think of to sprout! The set of 3 means you can have a constant supply of sprouts if you stagger them, and you can use different sized lids for different types of seeds or beans.
I've used these extensively before and they work great and make sprouting really easy. A few years ago my band was on tour for a long period of time, and our favorite road snack was sprouted lentils (which are super healthy and full of protein to fuel our rock n' rollin'). We would rinse them out every day and just keep them in the rear window of the tour-mobile.
I found them for sale online at MotherNature.com, but you can probably find them in your local health food store. The 3 pack was only $4! Definitely worth it.
Also: Couple-a-things:
-My organic beeswax to be used in my home made deodorant making adventure is in the mail, which means that tutorial will be coming next week! Look out for that!
-I have some really great camper eye candy coming up …
-I'm really excited to share with you all my adventure from earlier today, and introduce you to a few more of my newest sponsors! Lots of info about green building materials and where to find them comin' up tomorrow.
AND I have some 3D SketchUp models of The COMET and some nice computer drawings of her to share, so keep an eye out for that too.
If there's ever anything you'd like to see me write about or explain here on The COMET Camper blog, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Liberty News
Field hockey coaches serve on Uganda trip
A nine-member Liberty University team, which included three coaches from the field hockey team, spent two weeks serving in the East African nation of Uganda. The group participated in various projects ranging from manual labor, singing and performing skits, to field hockey and sports clinics.
One of the team members, field hockey assistant coach Tilly Brampton, was recently featured on LFSN's "Game On" show, detailing her experience in Uganda and sharing her faith journey.
The group spent time volunteering in an orphanage, where they spent an afternoon playing sports with local children and helped with construction on a pair of new school buildings. They also spent several days at the national field hockey stadium conducting field hockey and sports clinics for several hundred primary and secondary students.
This is the second consecutive year Liberty field hockey head coach Jodi Murphy led a trip to Uganda. In the future, Murphy plans to continue her work in Uganda through her organization, Pathfinder Hockey. The organization seeks to further the promotion of field hockey in the nation and connect with various groups to share the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

Health and fitness careers is a booming market and for those who want to gain that edge against their competition in personal training, they may want to consider getting their education for the certificate to e prestigious NASM personal trainer certificate with an accredited organization.
The many fitness trainers I spoke with said that most reputable gyms require a NASM certificate and is the one to get to be highly marketable. They also said that the education will be a little more, but the investment will be worth it in the long run.
American Fitness and Nutrition Academy or AFNA is a premiere fitness accredited academy and offers career-minded fitness professionals a comprehensive and hands-on academy programs, applied training workshops or trainer education clinics. Located in beautiful, fitness friendly Pasadena, California, AFNA's top credential Diploma in Advanced Fitness and Nutrition Training is licensed through the California State Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. Anyone who is considering training in this field should ensure their school meet these requirements to receive the proper education.
Personal Training
AFNA provides classroom and vocational instruction (day or evening) toward certifying in the NASM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES), and Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) curricula. AFNA's Diploma Personal Trainer qualification - a 500 hour program licensed by the State of California - includes vocational personal training and group training application at their commercial athletic club partner, Breakthru Fitness. AFNA also provides continued education fitness training workshops and health education clinics to working fitness professionals. But they also offer education to become a yoga instructor. Yoga is a multi-billion dollar industry that is only getting bigger, and the demand for qualified, committed, and caring instructors has never been greater. Inc. Magazine recently named Yoga as one of the best industries for starting a business right now!
AFNA's 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Program prepares students for a successful and fulfilling entry into this career field. AFNA's curriculum combines the principles, techniques, and philosophies of yoga with hands-on training application, delivering the underlying knowledge and confidence so students are prepared to launch their own yoga classes. Importantly, AFNA provides students with insight into what is required to obtain employment as a teacher, establish strong client relationships, and maintain a social networking presence that can fuel their business for the long term.
I researched quite a few fitness schools. There are many online that didn't meet any of the criteria that AFNA offers so beware. Others were too expensive and/or not the right location. AFNA rates with high marks as a fitness training school. I like that their upscale fitness facility has instructors that care for their students and guide them every step of the program. This is uplifting for students who may be making a career change and may feel intimidated to a new life change. Their affiliate fitness club, Breakthru Fitness, is known for its state-of-the-art fitness floor and high level of personal training service and is just one block away from the school.
AFNA Director Tom Boland said, "Personal fitness training students will be taught the science, business and the art of personal fitness training and nutrition management by instructors who have graduated with a BA or BS and have extensive experience in the fitness industry. When students have completed the AFNA personal training program, they are assisted with job placement – we're proud that many of our students have been hired by many reputable gyms or have started their own fitness business."
Another plus for AFNA is that it is at a convenient location and headquartered in Pasadena, CA - near both the 210 and 134 freeways - only 15 minutes from downtown L.A. (epicenter of personal training). Pasadena is an easy destination whether commuting from the San Fernando or San Gabriel Valleys, or taking the trip north from Anaheim and Fullerton.
Boland said, "Pasadena academy students enjoy full club benefits at Breakthru Fitness while attending classes at AFNA! With the Rose Bowl and the Angeles Crest National Forest only a short distance from the school, outdoor fitness is also big part of their program."
There is good news for personal fitness trainers since Michelle Obama launched Let's Move! on February 9, 2010, a campaign to solve the problem of childhood obesity. With this effort, parents too, will become educated and likely want to improve their health. In an article in www.letsmove.gov, parents, businesses, educators, elected officials, members of the military, chefs, physicians, athletes, childcare providers, community and faith leaders and kids themselves have made substantial commitments to improve the health of our nation's children. These groups have provided children with healthier food and greater opportunities for physical activity in schools and communities, helped get families the information they need to make healthier decisions, supported a healthy start in early childhood.
Let's Move! increases personal training services even more. According to an International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) study on personal trainer usage, four million Americans were using personal trainers in 1999 and by 2004 the number of Americans who used personal training services hovered near the six million mark. The reason? A decade of mainstream personal training that stretches across all personal and socio-economic backgrounds and markets. Reports from The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that employment of fitness workers is expected to increase 29% between 2008 and 2018 – much faster, in fact, than the average for most other occupations. When recently compiled data by IHRSA for club trainer's in-session rates are adjusted for this marked increase, it is clear that health and fitness club employment offers a level of security and flexibility with an opportunity for a solid career foundation and potential for growth.
Students who attend full-time will graduate in four months and part-time students will attend in the evening and graduate in eight months so for those interested in pursuing this growing field or advancing their current fitness training level for part-time or full-time jobs can review AFNA's calendar of upcoming programs.
"The American Fitness and Nutrition Academy is committed to building confident students into fitness trainers and educators!" said Boland.
For more information go to www.afna.com or call at (626) 782-6200. AFNA will also respond to emails at [email protected]

The Sound of Spring
While waiting for the sound of summer, why not listen to the sound of spring – and dance your heart out at one of these three festivals.
Electric Istanbul
Sónar is an institution in Barcelona, but the famous electro festival is celebrating its premiere on the Bosporus this March 24 and 25. Project Moderat from Berlin, Scottish dubstep pioneer Kode9 and the Norwegian space disco royalty Prins Thomas are all part of this spring's line-up.
Metal in the Mountains
Wacken in the snow: Metalheads from around the world will head to the Nassfeld ski resort in Austria between March 27 and April 2 for the Full Metal Mountain festival. The line-up will include well-known bands such as Amon Amarth, Parkway Drive, Apocalyptica and DragonForce.
Rare fun in Rotterdam
Motel Mozaique – an annual festival of music, performance and surprises – will transform Rotterdam into an adventure playground for indie pop fans on April 7 and 8. Overnight guests get to sleep in churches and shop windows (!).

Garfinkel resigns as Padres' president, CEO
SAN DIEGO -- The news of Padres president and CEO Tom Garfinkel's resignation on Tuesday was met with some surprise, though others weren't at all stunned.
"Not entirely," said Padres general manager Josh Byrnes said. "There was probably some sense this could happen."
The team announced early on Tuesday in a press release that Garfinkel, who had been with the team since 2009, had resigned.
The press release indicated that lead investor Peter Seidler and executive chairman Ron Fowler accepted the resignation.
"I want to thank the Padres and the fans for the opportunity to be a small part of this incredible franchise and America's Finest City," Garfinkel said by email Tuesday. "I have a lot of faith in the people in this organization and that great things are on the horizon."
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Garfinkel's decision to resign was part of the transition to the new ownership group and that there was no acrimony on either side.
The press release indicated that Seidler and Fowler thanked Garfinkel for "Tom's many contributions to the Padres over the last four years."
Fowler didn't respond to a request for comment on Garfinkel's resignation.
San Diego manager Bud Black was asked about Garfinkel's resignation before Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
"Our focus down here is the team, but he was very visible," Black said. "He was around, he was always asking what he can do for the club, for the players. He made an impact. He was a very creative, very progressive thinker and he'll be missed obviously, but he'll land on his feet and do great things."
Garfinkel said Tuesday that he's doesn't have any current job offers.
Garfinkel was named president and COO of the Padres in April of 2009 and was later promoted to CEO in April of 2012. He was brought to San Diego by former Padres vice chairman and CEO Jeff Moorad. Those two previously worked together with the D-backs.
In March of 2012, Moorad withdrew his application to complete the sale of the team. A month later, the team was up for sale again.
The organization has been under new ownership since August when the team announced it had been purchased by the Seidler/O'Malley group and Fowler for $800 million from former majority owner John Moores.
Fowler will assume Garfinkel's responsibilities on an interim basis until a new president and CEO can be hired.
Since joining the Padres, Garfinkel pushed for a better ballpark experience at Petco Park and raising the team's season-ticket base. He was also instrumental in helping the team broker a television deal worth $1.2 billion over 20 years with Fox Sports San Diego.
In 2011 and 2012, the Padres were recognized in a SportsBusiness Journal survey for having the No. 1 ticket sales and service team in baseball.
One of Garfinkel's lasting legacies with the Padres will likely be the Youth Baseball Initiative, where the organization fitted more than 11,600 local Little Leaguers -- and more than 850 teams -- with authentic, custom-made jerseys from throughout Padres history, as well as corresponding caps.
"No one cared more about the Padres and bringing the fans a winner than Tom," said Brent Stehlik, the Padres former senior vice president of business operations of the Padres. "No one cared more about improving the fan experience -- every facet, from food to audio to membership program -- than Tom.
"No one wanted to impact the community more than Tom, evident by the greatly expanded military recognition and little league jersey initiative. No one has been more influential to my career. I can't say that I have learned more from anyone else through all my stops in sports."
Stehlik is currently the chief revenue officer for the Cleveland Browns.
In April, Garfinkel apologized for comments that he made connecting Dodgers' pitcher Zach Greinke's social anxiety disorder to a movie character who suffered from autism during a talk with season-ticket holders.
The comment was made after Greinke hit Padres' left fielder Carlos Quentin with a pitch in a game at Petco Park, which sparked a benches-clearing incident.

Success does not require success in every niche, including extremely small high end ones. Instead, some niches are way too small for an 800lb gorilla to bother with, even if such a niche keeps a few far smaller operations like Hasselblad-Imacon, Mamiya/Cosmo and Rollei going --- just barely. Adding MF would at best add about an extra 0.1% share of the DSLR market to the 50-60% share that Canon has already. This is like saying that survival for Toyota, GM, or Ford requires them to start competing in the sector now dominated by the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti or Rolls-Royce.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65800\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
What has enabled Canon to move up from a second position in the film days to the first position in the digital era?...just like GM produces Corvettes,...As far as people buying into a new set of optics etc... they did it once with the EOS line up and see the results 20 years later.

A friend of mine has a book that shows a Canon prototype of a MF SLR that took FD lenses that was never made in a production unit.So it seems that Canon has thought of this and decided not to produce a MF SLR.Will T.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66188\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
funny thing is thats what they all did:Volkswagen bought Bentley and LamborghiniBMW bought Rolls Royce.Merc were at the top but still needed to go higher - MaybachGM bought SaabFiat (yes, crummy Fiat) have Ferrari.Canon not that big?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66109\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
... I still believe Canon will make an "MF" digital system soon. its the only way forward for them ...The market is much bigger than people make out - if it kept Hasselblad, Mamiya, Fuji, Bronica, Rollei, Pentax, etc all busy for years, there has to be a lot of $ in it. [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66557\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Please answer my question then: given that neither Nikon nor Canon moved into medium format film cameras during all their decades of dominance of the film SLR market, why would either of them upsize their format now when the medium format market has been made drastically smaler by the digital transition, and while both of them along with the entire SLR industry is moving mostly in the direction of smaller formats, not larger?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66576\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
BJL,Playing the devil's advocate again, some reasons why they might want to consider it:- To keep the high ground and maintain the image that Canon produces DSLR delivering a better image quality. Canon has IMHO understood that the 1ds did a lot more for them than selling a few 10.000 of bodies. It sealed their image as the leader technologically. The image remains, but the gap has mostly been closed by the D2x in terms or image quality, and many others are getting closer. We are moving quick towards a situation similar to the film days. The system itself (lenses,...) is re-gaining importance compared to the sensor, and Nikon for instance is IMHO overall aheadin terms of offering and usability. At least the gap is a lot smaller than when you factored in the 1ds 3 years ago.What will enable Canon to keep claiming that they are the technological leader in 3-4 years from now? MF would be one of the options (I am not saying it is the only one though),- To satifsy these millions of shooters that HAD to go from MF to 35 mm for economical reasons while they prefer the look and feel of MF. Just think of all these people very vocal about the need ot full frame digital for DoF - there is just the same wth MF. These people are what Mamiya and Pentax are shooting for with their own MF offering. The shrinking size of the MF market is mostly a consequence of the incredible price of digital MF solutions. A credible option at a lower price point would expand it significantly IMHO,- Because there still many pros in Japan that shoot film. Weddings here is very much still MF film from what I can see.- Because their present financial situations enables them to invest in order to kill more competitors,- Because they might be able to find some ways to lure 35 mm Canon DSLR users into using a Canon MF system instead of another one. I am thinking of identical RAW workflow, identical ergonomics (let's hope not though), identical accessories (batteries, flash,...).Cheers,Bernard[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66586\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Bernard, while we're having a bit of fun speculating about corporate strategy and what is coming next, one also hears that Canon is likely to release a 22 MP 1D series later this year. Again, who except them knows for sure, but IF SO, and assuming the images would be at least as clean as those from the 5D, how much value-added would they be putting on the market with a very expensive MF sensor? If the MK2 already displaces medium format film, could one not envisage a 22MP full-frame (35mm) sensor meeting much of what the market demands from say a 25 MP MF sensor at what will probably be a much lower price?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66591\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Okay, while we're all speculating wildly, let me throw in my own useless prediction:Canon will introduce a digital MF with (--- drumroll, please ---): a Mirror Lockup button intended to lure into the MF camp all of us who have been wishing for that on the present DSLRs.This will, of course, force many of us to start spending the outrageous funds needed to go to MF.Eric[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66595\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
For comparion, Canon estimated a 5D sales rate of about 100,000/year, has stated a 1DsMkII product rate of 24,000/year, and has a total DSLR sales rate approaching 2 million/year.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=66576\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Mega Millions Jackpot Grows To $344 Million for Tuesday
There was no jackpot winner of Friday night's Mega Millions drawing meaning $344 million will be up for grabs on Tuesday.
Friday night's numbers were: 11,29,44,63, 64 and the Mega Ball is 3. The Megaplier is 3. There were 3 winners of at least $1 million each for matching 5 numbers but not the Mega Ball in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Washington.
Tuesday's drawing has a cash value of $184 million.
The multi-state lottery has not had a winner in 19 drawings going back to October 1.
Mega Millions made several rule changes in October to allow for higher, faster growing jackpots without raising the ticket price. The changes were also aimed at giving more players the opportunity to win prizes. "When the Mega Millions game enhancements were made back in October, they were designed to increase the number of players who would win prizes and allow the jackpots to climb higher, and that has proven to be effective," said Carole Hedinger, Executive Director of the New Jersey Lottery
Players have a 1 in 258,890,850 chance of hitting all five numbers and the gold Mega Ball to claim the jackpot Tickets for Mega Millions are sold in 43 states and the District of Columbia including New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

All occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, Valintines, etc.. will be catered. Target users are uncles, grandparents, and busy parents who don't shop or don't know what the "in" gifts are. The website design will be simple, with large font, and much white space...little clutter. The color scheme will be based on colors used in the logo.
- Creative logo image to the left of the name "Gift Budgeter" or "GiftBudgeter".
- The left image could be something like a $ or a calculator with a gift. I'm open here too. I want it to reflect gift budgeting.
- Use your creativity for the logo. See my SantaAssist contest for reference.
- Add a tagline of "Find Gifts For Your Budget" or something to that point.
- For the tagline use a font that looks more like arial.
- Must provide a layered .PSD file compatible with Photoshop v8. I do not want a raster image imported into a PSD file.
- FavIcon added to entry (optional)
- Extra small font sizes.
- Hard to read text style
- Detailed graphics that are difficult to distinguish at smaller sizes
- Do not use green and red, but you can use either with a different color. I don't want this logo to have a Christmas only feel.

- Hello, Sir i wanted to talk to you that why is the GTA Chat so lonely unlike the Spanish or German GTA Wiki
Well the Chat is a feature that hasn't taken off as much on some Wiki's, it was quite popular when first introduced here but its popularity has slowly declined.
- oh and i have heard that the main USER who created this wiki was long gone and created another site and please tell me why are there so less contributions on this wiki.
Yes the old staff did leave due to issues with Wikia, for more information you can read this. And there aren't really so many fewer edits on this Wiki.
- Please Sir help this wiki contribute more and there are so many dead links on some page (i may have fixed some of 'em) please make someone incharge of keeping an eye at every edit a user makes.
Well feel free to contribute, and as for the dead links, I am trying to sort out that issue but I could always use some help. Tom Talk 12:13, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
News blogs
Hi Quickscopa,
I really like the idea that you help spreading news on GTAV with your blogs, but next time can you please either leave me this job or creating blogs in a similar build as my news blogs? I just want to keep the news hear in a nice and formal shape. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 14:39, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
The reason why I deleted your category was because one category for all bikes featured in the series is enough. Compare to four-wheeled vehicles, there are rather fewer two-wheeled vehicles, therefor, only one category is needed to hold the bikes articles. Don't get me wrong, you had a great idea, but this wiki has already too much categories, that can confuse newcomers. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 19:26, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
He's now blocked for two weeks. Thanks for dealing with him :) -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:26, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for dealing with the rest of him! I inadvertently fell asleep while undoing his edits, haha. 18:33, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks man
Afterall, I'll get a pirated version. I checked pirated bay. Lol, there are so many torrents! I thought TPB is almost to and end! Just make sure not get a virus, just installed my OS again.Dodo8 Talk

Read my latest comment. Dad doesn't allows me to buy it. I must get the pirated version. So can you give a link, or something?Dodo8 Talk
09:05, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
I don't need dad for it. I cracked a lot of games. Don't look at me like a dumb 13 years old. I just don't understand what that crack is for? Where can I get EFLC?Dodo8 Talk

I don't need multiplayer. I just want offline EFLC :'(.Dodo8 Talk
10:13, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

I am downloading EFLC now, but as I said, no seeds. Gonna take a week. And I'll look for the windows activator.Dodo8 Talk

Checked. Don't have any AA option.Dodo8 Talk
07:35, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
Stop calling me "sir", I'm still 13. :) Anyway, I deleted the game. It's screwing up my computer. The PC works a lot better when the game is not installed. And my PC is very good. I can't understand why the graphics are so bad. And I personally don't want to understand anymore. I'll get over it. Already finished the game 3 times. I guess is enough. If I'll buy EFLC I might look at the problem again. 2 BIG FACTS: 1. - My PC Card has a quite low memory (only 1003 MG) - The Hard Disk is quite broken I think. - The rest are very advanced (I mean very!). 2. - The game is pirated. That is possibly the reason.
I might never know :'(. Thanks for your help Quickscopa anyway. :)Dodo8 Talk

I just cropped them from the car texture images and used photoshop to make the background transparent.
I've first seen Ilan adding them like this, and then I started doing it too. It's the same on Wikipedia, but on our Wiki it isn't currently a "rule".Dodo8 Talk
Hey Scopa, just wondering why your not liking the edits I made.. I don't see them causing any trouble.. Ciao Instulent (talk) 18:22, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

The Palm Beach feature vehicles are as follows:
— Lot 759 1960 Chevrolet Fuel Injected Corvette Convertible

Room and Board
Room and board are charged on a prorated basis for each day the student lives in University housing.
Course fees, health fees and activity fees are not prorated.
On the Official Student Withdrawal Form is the date used for computing charges for tuition. The withdrawal calculations will be completed within 21 days from the date of official withdrawal and all correspondence, including refunds, will be directed to the student's home address.
* The date the drop is processed is the date used in computing fee adjustments. Refunds for dropping individual classes or refunds for withdrawal from the university cannot be made until after the conclusion of the add/drop period and will take up to 21 days after complete withdrawal. See Academic Calendar for applicable dates.
Students with Tuition Remission
Students that receive tuition remission will be charged an additional $25, along with any applicable charges, if all classes are dropped. This is in effect for all terms - fall, spring, interims and summer.
Drop Policy
Each term (fall, spring, summer or interims), Bradley University provides a due date on the billing statement. The billing statement is on MyBU.Bradley.edu. In addition, students are sent e-mail notifications to their Bradley e-mail account indicating that a payment is due and the due date.
In order for the student's registration to be complete for a term, the student must complete a process know as "claiming classes". This can be done in several ways:
- The student makes payment or payment arrangements by the announced due date.
- If the student's account has a credit balance, the student completes the online process at MyBU.Bradley.edu to indicate a refund preference.
- Or, if the balance is zero, the student completes steps on MyBU.Bradley.edu confirming the zero balance.
If one of the above processes is not completed, the student's classes, for that specific term, will be dropped. The student will be notified via the Bradley e-mail account that classes have been dropped.
It is the student's responsibility to re-register for the classes for that term. Information on registration is available at bradley.edu/classes. Once the student has re-registered, payment is due immediately. If payment is not made at that time, the classes will be dropped during the next drop cycle.
Hold Policy
The Student Fees Office in the Controller's Office will place a registration and grade hold on a student's account if that account is past due. The registration hold will prevent a student from registering for future terms. The grade hold will prevent a student from viewing grades, receiving transcripts and receiving a diploma. The hold will not be removed until the student's account balance is current.
Contact Student Fees to make payment arrangements. Once payment and/or payment arrangements have been made, the registration hold may be removed. The grade hold will remain on the student's account until the balance is current.
It is the student's responsibility to:
- Be aware of the payment policies found on sfs.bradley.edu
- Keep updated on his/her account balance and financial aid information
- Satisfy all financial obligations with the university
Claiming Classes
For every period of enrollment students must confirm their intentions to matriculate by taking an action called "Claiming Classes". Classes are claimed in one of two ways: By making a payment on the balance due for each period of enrollment or, if there is no balance due (zero balance or pending refund), by completing the steps outlined on your MyBU account.
Claiming Classes - Distance Education
For every period of enrollment students must confirm their intentions to matriculate by taking an action called "Claiming Classes". Classes are claimed in one of two ways: By making a payment on the balance due for each period of enrollment or, if there is no balance due (zero balance or pending refund), by completing the steps outlined on your MyOnline account.
Student refunds
The FSA (Federal Student Aid) Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Education allow a school to apply all Title IV financial aid directly to a student's institutional charges (student fee account). Bradley University requires all financial aid to be applied to a student's account. If a student has more financial assistance than the amount of their institutional charges this creates what is referred to as a credit balance. FSA regulations require a school to process the credit balance directly to the student or parent in the form of a refund. However, the U.S. Department of Education does not specify how a school must determine which FSA funds create the credit balance to be refunded.
Bradley University has instituted the following procedures for applying student aid to a student fee account. Keep in mind that a student's individual financial assistance package will vary and may not contain all types of awards listed.
Order of Application of Student Aid Against Tuition, Fees, Room and Board Charges:
- Federal Title IV Aid- Pell Grant, PLUS Loan/Federal Grad PLUS Loan, Stafford Loans, Perkins and Nursing Loans
- All other Title IV grants
- State of Illinois MAP Grant
- Private Loans
- External Scholarships
- Bradley Financial Aid
Based on this application of aid, refunds will generally be processed in the student's name and per the student's request will be mailed to the permanent home address, applied to the QuickCash account or deposited directly to a bank account.
Refunds of $1.00 or less will not be processed.

By John McMullen
PHILADELPHIA - It was always going to follow the New Orleans Saints until, well ... it stopped following them.
Veteran kicker Shayne Graham checked his rear-view mirror, sped-up through a
red light and shook a rather persistent tail when he booted a game-winning
32-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Saints over the Philadelphia
Eagles, 26-24, in an NFC wild-card matchup on Saturday night.
It was the first road playoff win in franchise history after five consecutive
When Eagles first-year starting quarterback Nick Foles found rookie tight
Zach Ertz slipping off the line unnoticed to put the Eagles on top 24-23,
Drew Brees had 4 1/2 minutes to erase a narrative which has defined him and
his organization for years.
Brees did convert two key third downs with a pair of quarterback sneaks on the
ensuing Saints' possession but it was his supporting cast of Darren Sproles,
Mark Ingram, the little-used Khiry Robinson, and Graham that did the heavy
The journeyman Graham, who replaced long-time kicker Garrett Hartley after
Week 15, finally ended New Orleans' road playoff curse by calmly kicking
the game-winner in a raucous environment.
Brees finished 20-of-30 for 250 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions,
while Ingram carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and a touchdown.
"It's just, man, believing in each other, ignoring what everyone else has to
say," a relieved Brees said.
The Saints' well-documented troubles away from the Superdome have been a sore
spot for Sean Payton and Co. but they were real ... very real.
New Orleans arrived in Philadelphia with more talent, more experience and a
better record than the Eagles. Ask your average NFL observer and he or she
probably would have picked the Saints in a rout if this game was being played
on neutral turf, never mind the Superdome.
But, the Saints aren't the same team when you take them off the fast track in
New Orleans as evidenced by their 8-0 record as the host during the regular
season versus their 3-5 mark as the visitor. NOLA often forgets to pack its
high-powered offense when leaving the Bayou, averaging 34 points per game in
Cajun Country compared to 16.9 in strange area codes.
And then you have Brees, the brilliant future Hall of Fame quarterback
who has four of the eight 5,000-yard passing seasons in NFL history. The
Purdue product has tossed 25 touchdown passes and just three interceptions
when playing at home this season. After Saturday in Philly that number dips to
14 TDs and 13 picks whether he's rockin' the Dayquil or Nyquil in his hotel
The Saints actually got a big break in City of Brotherly Love on Saturday
night. It wasn't the climate controlled nirvana of the dome but early
forecasts calling for a bitterly cold game with temperatures near 20 and the
wind chill dipping down in the single digits proved alarmist and things ended
up as run-of-the-mill cold, about 26 degrees at kickoff with negligible wind.
Brees wasn't able to take advantage early, making two key mistakes in the
opening half, first getting greedy midway through the first quarter and badly
underthrowing rookie Kenny Stills down the right sideline, an ill-advised pass
that Eagles CB Bradley Fletcher picked off at Philadelphia's 3-yard line.
Two possessions later Brees failed to recognize DeMeco Ryans drooping off into
zone coverage and the veteran linebacker undercut Lance Moore for another
The Eagles weren't exactly lighting things up themselves but Foles's 10-yard
TD pass to Riley Cooper with just under two minutes to go until intermission
made sure Philadelphia went in the locker room with a lead, which turned out
to be 7-6 when Graham foreshadowed the end of the game by closing the second
quarter with a 46-yard field goal.
After 30 minutes of football Brees had completed just 10-of-18 passes for 98
yards with the two picks and a miserable 31.5 passer rating. Foles was hardly
spectacular himself but perhaps the key statistic was he made no significant
errors while Brees has the two miscues.
Payton didn't panic, however, and decided to take some of the load off of
Brees' shoulders by feeding Ingram, who did an excellent job as New Orleans'
feature back in place of the injured Pierre Thomas. After the New Orleans
defense forced a three-and-out, Sproles' 12-yard punt return gave the
Saints' excellent field position at their own 47.
Ingram carried the ball on three of the Saints' first four plays on the
ensuing drive, amassing 24 yards as New Orleans advanced to the Philadelphia
22. A holding penalty set the Saints back but Brees had the answer, first
going underneath to Sproles for eight yards before hitting Moore for a 24-yard
After another Eagles three-and out, Brees was feeling it, tossing a brilliant
14-yard out to Stills that showed a feathery touch just over the outstretched
hand of big-play man Brandon Boykin, That set the table for a 27-yard hookup
with Benjamin Watson before Ingram took it in from the 4-yard line a few plays
later to give New Orleans a 20-7 edge with just under four minutes to go in
the third quarter.
Nothing is ever easy for the Saints away from the Superdome, though, and
Philadelphia found life on its next drive when the Saints' best corner, Keenan
Lewis, blew up a poorly thrown Foles pass to Jason Avant. Lewis suffered a
possible concussion while delivering a monster hit on the play, a development
which opened up things outside the numbers for the Eagles.
The play after Lewis left Foles lofted a 50-50 ball deep down the right side
for DeSean Jackson and the speedy receiver made the catch at the New Orleans
nine. Moments later LeSean McCoy plunged in on 4th-and-1 from the one.
Alex Henery and Graham exchanged field goals from there before Foles was
back at it, throwing another 50-50 to Jackson, This one resulted in a 40-yard
pass interference call on Corey White, which gave the Eagles the ball at the
NOLA 4-yard line. Two plays after that, Foles found Ertz and New Orleans was
on the clock.
Sproles answered with a 39-yard kick return, accentuated by a 15-yard
personal foul on Philadelphia's Cary Williams for a horse collar tackle.
Smelling blood, Payton kept it on the ground, running on eight of nine plays
before Graham stepped up and played hero.
"We know what we're all about," Sproles said. "This was a great testament to
that. Coming on the road, hostile environment, great team, one of the hottest
teams in football and getting one of those big victories."
The prize?
A few hours of satisfaction and a ticket to the NFL's toughest venue,
Seattle's CenturyLink Field, the same place where the Saints lost 34-7 just
over a month ago.
This time, though, New Orleans will head to the Pacific Northwest with some
history of its own.
"It's loud, it's crazy, they've got a good thing going there," Brees said when
talking about the Seahawks.

We're are excited to announce the birth of Scout, our newest Linne's two-toed sloth!
The newest arrival to our Upland Tropical Rain Forest is the second baby born to Ivy, one of the five sloths in the exhibit. Scout is the fourth sloth born at the National Aquarium!
To celebrate the birth of Scout, we have set up a baby registry at aqua.org/babysloth. Here, fans of Scout can make a donation to help purchase such items as vegetables and fruit, micro-chipping and the baby's monthly checkup – items that are essential to the care and survival of Scout!
"Our team is thrilled to welcome another baby sloth to our Rain Forest habitat," said Ken Howell, Curator of the Upland Tropical Rain Forest. "It is an honor to work with these incredible animals and inspire our guests to learn more about the ways they can protect them."
Sloths have been an ongoing part of the animal collection here at the Aquarium. The two oldest sloths currently living in the rain forest, Syd and Ivy, were acquired in May 2007. Howie and Xeno were born at National Aquarium in 2008 and 2010, respectively. And most recently, Camden, was born at National Aquarium in 2012.
Linne's two-toed sloths are commonly found in South America's rain forests, where they spend almost their entire lives in the trees. They are nocturnal by nature, fairly active at night while spending most of the day sleeping. Adult sloths are typically the size of a small dog, approximately 24-30 inches in length and about 12–20 pounds in weight.
To give Ivy and her baby proper time to bond, our staff is closely observing mom and baby from a distance. This means we haven't gathered the newborn's weight and height measurements or been able to determine gender. Staff has estimated, based on records from other baby sloths its age, that Scout weighs approximately 450 grams and is approximately 30 cm long.
Stay tuned for more updates on baby Scout in the coming weeks!

Fire crews prepare for tough day
Hot and gusty conditions and difficult wind changes are set to keep firefighters busy at two out-of-control fires burning in the state.
Close to 500 firefighters, over 100 vehicles and several aircraft are battling the Harrietville fire in the alpine country in the state's northeast on Saturday.
Flames reached eight metres on Friday night as the blaze breached containment lines.
State control centre spokesman Tony Bearzatto says the fire broke the line near Hotham Heights but there have been no reports of damage to homes or property.
An emergency warning was issued for the area but all residents are believed to have evacuated.
A watch and act warning is in place for Dargo and Omeo at the southern side of the blaze that has so far burned around 15,000 hectares.
Fire crews are also battling the 80,000-hectare Aberfeldy fire in Gippsland.
Mr Bearzatto said a southwesterly change due at the Aberfeldy fire late on Saturday could stoke the blaze.
A fire danger rating of very high remains in place for East Gippsland, West and South Gippsland and Central regions, with the fire risk rated severe in the North Central and North East districts.
A total fire ban has been declared in the north country regions.
Mr Bearzatto urged Victorians to stay alert with large parts of the state tinder dry.
''It's important to remember that the conditions leading up to Saturday and the extended dry period that we've had means there is a lot of very dry material out there just waiting to burn,'' he said.

Many seniors work for years to acquire their dream house and most of them want to stay in it until they die. As end-of-life draws near, the comfort of our own bed and surroundings becomes paramount. This has brought about the term "aging in place," which allows seniors to remain in their homes as long as possible.
There are times when staying at home becomes impractical or even dangerous. If you're among those who want to age in place, consider the following questions:
1. Is your current home equipped with everything you need to stay safe and healthy?
Whether it's yard maintenance or general upkeep of the home, there is much to consider. Safety is a huge issue. This may include a safer shower/tub, being on a ground floor, hard flooring rather than carpet, etc. The key to success here is early planning.
2. How tight is your support system?
All of us need help as we age. No matter how sharp your mind is, or how independent you've been, you will likely need some practical and emotional help in later years. Having a strong support system of family, friends,
3. Do you have adequate finances?
Your current living expenses will most likely increase while your retirement savings will not. Consider the cost
4. What other goals to you have for your retirement years?
This includes things like how close you are to your family and friends. If your family is spread out across the country, you may not be able to visit them as often as you like. You'll want to be near airports and other transportation if you plan to visit often. These expenses may not have been factored into your current retirement plan.
5. Do you have a Plan B to fall back on?
Even with the best planning in place, the day could come when you can't continue to live safely in your home. Talk through this possibility with family members and make them aware of what you want. Communication is vital here!
If aging in place is your desire, you must begin planning for it now. For more information on aging in place and how to properly plan for it, please contact us today!

Miley Cyrus Has a Peekaboo Nip in Her Latest Instagram [NSFW VIDEO]
Miley Cyrus has officially recovered from her recent health scares, if her latest Instagram vid starring her left nipple is anything to go by.
We can probably assume the 21-year-old is feeling like her old self again after she posted a new video of her and a friend dancing around to Lil Jon's ever-popular 'Turn Down for What.'
The 'Adore You' star must've really been digging the song — to be fair, it is a super fun song — because her crazy dancing led to her ripping open her cropped jean jacket to reveal a black bra … and her nip!
The nip slip might have gone unnoticed if the person recording the video hadn't been taking advantage of the iPhone camera's slow-mo option at the time. But the video is slowed down just enough that it's hard to miss Miley sliding out of her bra.
Just last week Miley released an artistic video where she's in a minimalistic ensemble of leather and duct tape, so it doesn't seem like this pop star minds nudity too much. After all, she probably caught the slow-mo peep too, but still chose to share it on Insta.
The singer is currently hanging out in England — on a boat, judging by the background in her video — getting ready to launch her European leg of the Bangerz Tour. We just hope Miley stays healthy on this leg and that her peekaboo nip is the worst that she's got to deal with!

When a government spends money, there are only three places that money could have come from:
- Taxation — by taking the money away from someone.
- Borrowing — by temporarily taking the money away from someone, with a promise of returning it at a higher value.
- Inflating — by printing money, which reduces the value of all the other money that people hold.
Of these, the last is the most regressive and pernicious. Not only does it reduce the savings of the middle class, but it also causes people to think they have more money than they really have.
Which one, do you suppose, do politicians choose most often? Right: inflating and borrowing. That's because taxpayers feel the pain of taxation most directly.
