The 10 Worst Excuses Not to Travel
If you have ever read any of my articles, you would know that traveling is a passion of mine. I like to leave the everyday routine of normal life and see as much of the world as I can in the time that I have. You may be alive when you are at home in your comfort zone, but you aren't really living. So when I hear people give me excuses why they aren't out traveling the world, I can only shake my head. You can throw out any excuse that you can think of but I'll probably be able to shoot it down as nonsense. Here are the top 10 worst excuses that I hear from people and why they don't jive.
10Traveling Costs Too Much
When I say get out there and travel, what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you're like most people, you're thinking "It's too expensive and I don't have any money". Well so what? Don't let money hold you back, it's not as important as you think. Even a small amount of money can be stretched a long way if you keep close track of your funds. It's also possible to travel for practically free and even possible to earn money while you travel. It also helps to choose a destination that is affordable and where your money will go a long way. Most of South East Asia and South America are good options.
Another good way to get out of this mindset is by making travel a priority in your life. We all spend money on things that we don't really need. A daily $5 coffee fix adds up to about $1,500 by the end of the year. Try cutting back on dinner on the town every so often and regulate your weekend booze intake. You'd be amazed at how quickly this money will add up. Do you really need all the latest tech gadgets? Don't forget what the late, great fictional character Tyler Durden once said, 'The things you own end up owning you'.
9I'm in too Much Debt
Debt is a total bitch, I won't deny that. Unpaid student loans, credit card debt, mortgage and car payments, the bills seem to add up rather quickly. Remember what I said about changing your mindset, you can do this even when you're in debt, especially when you're in debt. I would never recommend going into further debt in order to travel, but you can pay off your debt and travel at the same time. It may take a bit more cutting back, but so long as you include your debt payments in your travel budget, there is no reason you should fall further behind.
8I'm Stuck at My Job
If this is your excuse for not going out there and traveling, then step back and ask yourself something. What's more important to you, living your life, or working? Honestly, if you aren't doing those things in life that you want to do, then what's the point of even having a job? Most people work to live, but if you are living for the sake of waking up every morning you may be alive, but you're not really living. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying go out and quit your job. Hell, do it if you want to. Just don't lose sight of why you are working in the first place.
7I Don't Have Time to Travel
Time is the most limited resource in your life and it is the most valuable thing that you will ever possess. With that being said, it is yours to spend in whatever way that you see fit. When you say that you don't have time to travel, you are really saying, "I won't make time to travel". If your life is so full with other things that you have to do, you need to reevaluate your priorities. Even if you work a full time job and you are in one of those countries that don't really value vacation days, I'm looking at you America and Canada, you still get a couple weeks every year. Take those two weeks and make them count.
6Traveling is Dangerous
If you refuse to travel because you feel that it is dangerous, I've got some bad news for you. Most of the world is a dangerous place. That includes the town you grew up in. Don't believe me? Have you ever been in an accident, been injured, known anyone that has been seriously injured or died? No matter where you go there will be dangers around you, don't use that as an excuse to not live your life. Either suck it up and get out there, or stay in your room with the blankets pulled up over your head.
5I Have Never Traveled Before
If your greatest excuse for not traveling is that you've never done it before, you need to leave that comfort zone this minute. Everything in your life you had to do for a first time at one point or another. There will be fear and anxiety, but there will also be excitement and adventure. Since you've never been anywhere before, then anywhere that you go will be new and exciting. I envy the person traveling for the first time, for the world is still strange and amazing.
4I Have Nobody to Travel With
Traveling by yourself doesn't mean that you are traveling alone. On the road you will meet a ton of interesting new people that you probably would have never met if you had been traveling with someone. No matter where you go, there will be people just like you. There is a sort of camaraderie born on the road and no matter where you come from, you all share the love of travel.
The best part about solo travel is that you can do what you want, go where you want, see what you want. You are under no obligation to another person. You don't have to do something you're not in the mood for just to appease your traveling companion. No, it is absolute liberation.
3I'm Afraid I'll Get Lost
It's kind of funny that people are afraid of getting lost and losing the well trodden path. I have always found that the most memorable experiences occur when we venture outside the norm. Blazing a new path, whether intended or not is a surefire path to adventure. Now I won't lie and say that everything is sunshine and rainbows. Even those situations where danger lurked, when safely coming through, those are the stories you will be telling for the rest of your life.
2I'm Afraid I'll Get Sick
Sickness on the road is a right of passage in itself. I'd venture to guess that 99% of the time that travelers get sick, it's because of the food. I can remember with absolute clarity every single time that I have been sick while traveling. It's only a handful of times, but they are always good stories to tell. After we have traveled around, experienced joy and sadness, sickness and health, all that remains are the stories to be told. They are the greatest souvenirs a traveler can collect.
1I Will Travel When I'm Older
This is the saddest excuse that I often hear from people. They will put off traveling year after year, convinced that someday they will get to it. Life has a funny way of making sure your plans never come about. Did you ever see the movie Up!? Get out there, see the world, and do it now rather than later. Life is too unpredictable and too short to put anything off until the future.
So are you ready to get out there and travel? If not, then what's your excuse?

Today I had my first successful deployment of BES Express, and found it to be a far easier project than deploying the regular BES. Not to mention, the customer saved over $4000.00 in hardware and software costs.
Traditionally BES required its own Windows 2003 Server with NO exchange installed on it and NO Outlook -- the MAPI client was flaky and calendaring was an issue if you tried any other setup. But the BES Express version has none of these issues.
Standard deployment takes about 90 minutes. The server supports up to 14 users. Each user must visit RIM's website and sign up for their own, individual, license (BES Express is not licenses to companies).
If you would like the benefits of BES Express such as:
- live synchronization
- control over blackberries from the server
- remote wipe and lock abilities
- flawless synchronization not dependant upon the Redirector or Web Client...
contact us and we'll get you started. There is a link to our contact form near the top of this blog, on the right side, just use it to submit your info.

Katy Perry's dad still text buds with Russell Brand
Katy Perry's parents apparently have yet to receive the memo requesting they not speak about their daughter's private life. See what Keith and Mary Hudson have to say about their former son-in-law, Russell Brand.
Katy Perry's parents are practicing the fine art of forgiveness with Russell Brand. Despite her insistence that no one speak on her behalf, Katy Perry's ultra-conservative mother and father have given the press an update on the pop star's divorce from Russell Brand.
"There are no hard feelings towards Russell," Keith Hudson, father of Katy Perry, explained to Us Weekly. "I just received a text from him the other day in fact. He is a wonderful and smart guy."
Katy Perry's major "Part of Me" coincidence >>
Katy Perry, pictured here at Paris Fashion Week on March 7, "is doing well just now," her dad went on to say before getting into the nitty-gritty of the Perry/Brand breakup. Keith Hudson commented of the divorce, "Her career got really busy and she did not get to see that much of Russell -- it was just one of those things."
Katy Perry wins custody of cat in divorce settlement >>
Katy Perry's parents, married for over 30 years, used news of their daughter's divorce to fill the seats at their evangelical Christian ministry early this year -- a move which made the pop star none too happy.
Among the 27-year-old's first statements after the divorce news went public, Katy Perry tweeted, "Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me. Not a blog, magazine, 'close sources' or my family."
Yet along with divulging he and Russell Brand are still texting buds, Katy Perry's father updated the press with what little he knows of her love life.
"I don't know anything about this male model guy," Keith Hudson said addressing rumors she's starting a relationship with male model Baptiste Giabiconi, adding, "She is healthy and happy now!"

I'm considering having an application developed using RealBasic (for the client GUI) and ActiveMQ on the server to handle messaging. I'm not a programmer, but would like some feedback on RealBasic and ActiveMQ integration. Have anyone used the OpenWire C Client with RealBasic? Can the OpenWire C Client be used to connect a client developed with RealBasic to ActiveMQ? What would be the best solution or are there alternatives? I do not want to use Java for the client software. I'm looking for a solution that will work with RealBasic or other cross-platform framework like QT or wxWidgets. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-RealBasic-tf2809406.html#a7839112 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

FLOWER BUD INDUCTION ADVISORY #6 for 2017-2018-2/1/18
Gene Albrigo, Horticulturist Emeritus, Citrus Research & Education Center, Lake Alfred, FL
This is a service to our citrus growers posted on the CREC website. The indicated Expert System on intensity and time of bloom can be accessed at the designated Web Site: http://disc.ifas.ufl.edu/bloom
If you are not familiar with the website and flower bud induction in citrus you should read the overview section in the first advisory this year.
Current status: We have excellent induction, but continuing cold temperature conditions have slowed down flower bud development. One warm event occurred around December 14 to 23 and another generally about January 9 to 19 depending on location. Initiation of growth of the first flowering wave (cohort) occurred with about 630 to 800 hours of inductive temperatures and the second cohort occurred with about 800 to 1400 hours of induction depending on location. The River had only the second timing of flowers initiated according to the Citrus Flowering Monitor System. Overall citrus groves have very good levels of induction and most areas should have at least two waves of slightly overlapping flowering cohorts.
Full bloom dates are now projected to be from February 18 to March 1 and a second from March 13 to 29 depending on the area. In two severely declining Valencia groves near Lake Alfred the first wave is scattered over the trees, and this wave is mostly at the pinhead stage. Valencia groves examined near Ft. Meade were in better condition but still showed a scattering of new flush with pinhead flowers. A few popcorn to open flowers were observed from earlier off-season flower buds.
Off-season flowering: Open flowers and popcorn stages were observed on earlier visits to blocks from Lake Alfred to Frostproof and additional flowers are still showing up. Valencia trees appeared to have more of this than Hamlin, but numbers were low and scattered in all cases. I have not detected a light flush of these growing flower buds this winter that we have seen in previous winters. Perhaps the hurricane, uneven leaf loss and uneven stresses on the trees are contributing to the less even patterns for both off-season and the first spring cohort flowering.
If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact me (email@example.com)

"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton."—John Joseph Adams
"Readers with strong stomachs will welcome this unusual take on the future."—Kirkus Reviews
"Fans of [the Newsflesh] series will definitely want to check this new book out. But fans of Michael Crichton-style technothrillers will be equally enthralled: as wild as Grant's premise is, the novel is firmly anchored in real-world science and technology."—Booklist
"Grant extends the zombie theme of her Newsflesh trilogy to incorporate thoughtful reflections on biomedical issues that are both ominously challenging and eerily plausible. Sally is a complex, compassionate character, well suited to this exploration of trust, uncertainty, and the price of progress."—Publishers Weekly
"It's a well-grounded medical wariness that gets at the heart of what the Parasitology series will be asking: What happens when the cure is worse than the disease?"—NPR Books

My NO REACTION REWARD
Proverbs 29:22 "An angry man stirs up strife, And a hot–tempered man abounds in transgression."
I am learning about processing rather than reacting. In my life I have found that I have caused my self, and my relationships trouble by reacting rather than choosing how to act. I am learning that when angry about anything it is best not to talk about it until I am less angry and I don't need anything from the person I am angry with. This is the best way to process and walk together. I have also found that when I don't use my anger to do the talking life, God, or the universe works together to help me out.
This concept was confirmed to me the other day when I was driving in to town with my oldest son. Morning traffic was heavy and so I pulled in to the 60 mph traffic quickly like I always do and I notice the guy who was behind me pulled right up on my bumper.
A little irritated I say out loud, "Ok Dude, it's the only way to get on this road …back off"
This guy then proceeds to Nascar-style slingshot his pickup truck from behind me and then pass me at about 75 mph and cut me off. He is yelling at me the whole time.
This pulled the anger out of my heart and I said a few choice words that I will not type out for you here, but If you use your imagination I am sure you can hear me now.
The funny thing is how unexpected and how quick that rage was accessed in me. Now I could focus on this guy and how much of a Jack-wagon he was but I was fascinated with how quick someone like that could have complete control of my emotions.
I don't like being out of control. I talked myself down with my son as my confessor next to me. If I was in a state of reaction I know exactly what I would have done. I know because I wanted to do it. I wanted to ride his bumper and honk my horn and yell. This is the kind of emotion that escalates and road rage is born.
Instead I laughed about the whole thing with my son. I made the choice to. I admitted how quickly I could get so angry but then I just let this guy go.
I let him be him, the jack-wagon that he was.
Then something amazing happened.
Traffic started to bunch up on the highway as we neared downtown. I made a casual turn into the right lane and tried not to smirk as I passed him going about 30mph. I tried not to laugh as a position opened up one car ahead of him.
The big challenge came for me to not smile as I went to the intersection and made it through while he, the man who was in such a big hurry, was detained at the red light!
His face was priceless though.
I was pleased. I refrained from honking, yelling, and tailgating to deal with my emotions in the right way and I was given a gift.
I felt like I won at life.
I passed a test of sorts. I did not give in to my angry emotional reaction and I was rewarded with seeing the humbled face of the dude who did give in to his angry reaction to me.
It was satisfying.
I took it as a validation that I am on the right track. Not reacting but rather choosing my course in emotional situations has its rewards. I had much more fun and didn't experience the flames of rage for as long which I very well could have carried through my day.
Remember this next time you want to get angry. Anger may be helpful to alert you that there is an issue to attend to but it is not the best representative to fix the situation. Better to choose your course more logically.
Who knows? Maybe the lane will open up next to you and you can watch your opponents face as you drive on with your life, with a smile on yours…

Subaru has been promoting their Impreza franchise for a long time now. In their latest WRX structure of cars, this Impreza franchise has been the most popular one. So, the company has decided to cash on this popularity among the crowd, and come up with yet another model from the Impreza brand – the 2016 Subaru Impreza. This 2016 model marks the 5th generation cars from this franchise, and it will make its way in to the market just after the 2015 version finishes off its mid-release cycle of refreshments. This model has been designed exclusively to implement better execution to improved automobile experience.
Subaru has been trying very hard to make sure that they make something which resonates for a very long time in terms of its engine power and deign specifications. This is exactly the case with this 2016 model of Impreza. With their new body detail of WRX, Subaru has made some serious development in to creating a very good body structure of this car. This model was first debuted in the New York Auto Show in 2013, and has been coming out of production since 2014. So, it will be around mid-2015 hat it will finally find its way to a worldwide release. Now, let's take a look at some of the important features that this car has to offer.
2016 Subaru Impreza Important Changes
There are some important changes that are taking place in this 2016 Subaru Impreza. What are they? Let's take a look:
- The exterior chassis design is made from the company's WRX chassis structure.
- This model will also mark the beginning of WRX's luxury cars – with a longer wheel base design and improved front fascia.
- Front bumper design has been altered, with a little more detail going in to it. In addition to that, it also features new LED style head lights and slightly modified grille design.
- The rear end of this car seems pretty similar to its previous model, although the rear bumper looks slightly raised for extra cargo space.
- Interior remains unchanged, with a few updated features to go, including a new infotainment module, better wireless connectivity as well as improved seating arrangement.
2016 Subaru Impreza Engine Specs
Even though this 2016 Subaru Impreza continues to maintain its standard base model in terms of its engine variants, there are some new things to look forward to in the engine compartment. So, the base engine remains the same – with a 2.0 LITER inline 4 cylinder unit that can produce around 148 HP of max power, along with 145 lbs. feet of torque. New transmission options are present – with the standard 5 speed manual or the optional CVT transmission. Subaru will maintain its standard all-wheel drive train spec for this model. Higher trims might include another 2.0 LITER turbo charged inline 4 cylinder engines with 268 HP of max power and 258 lbs. feet of max torque.
2016 Subaru Impreza Price and Release Date
This model of 2016 Subaru Impreza is likely to cost somewhere around $20000 to $30000 – depending on its trim variant. No release dates have been set yet, but it is likely to release in 2015.

Each Wednesday, I find myself tweeting the sentence, "Tonight's #SVU explores every parent's worst nightmare." I've gotta hand it to the writers: it really is a skill, coming up with something more disturbing every week. The nightmare on tonight's episode, "Vanity's Bonfire," posed questions ranging from deep to deeply titillating. What will a mother do to protect her child -- even if the child is a killer? What will a father do to prevent his mistress from leaking their sex tapes? And how much of a bonus does NYPD have to pay the detective tasked with photographing dad's erect penis?
Recap: A young couple watches their two-year-old daughter, Tessa, frolic in a Brooklyn playground. While Dad is texting, someone takes Tessa! The panicked parents run through the playground screaming her name, in a scene that easily makes the list of Every Mother's Top 10 Worst Nightmares.
Our detectives question the requisite lurking sex offender, but he just mentions a blond woman who'd been hanging by the slide. (Note: In real life, I'd put the odds at 3:1 that the sex offender did it.) Pictures on various parents' cell phones show the blond carrying the same distinctive diaper bag as Mom.
Olivia notes that female baby-snatchers often seek a relationship with the baby's family, and she asks if anyone has paid particular interest to the toddler. Tessa's nanny shows them a picture of Tessa given to her by a suspicious blond lady. Following the website printed on the photo, the cops go to the apartment of Dia, a delightfully nutty blond yoga instructor who's rocking Tessa in an exact replica of the girl's real bedroom. (SVU meets Single White Female.)
Dia is unfazed by her arrest, because she is both (A) Tessa's biological mother, and (B) crazy.
Dia says the child's father is legal hotshot Kent Webster (played by Scott Bakula of Quantum Leap fame. Kent probably wishes he could go back in time and not sleep with Dia).
Kent, of course, denies the whole thing. He's got a wife so sick with a brain tumor she can barely pick up a pitcher of water. And they have a lovely 15-year-old daughter named Hannah. (Alert! Alert! It is a unbreakable rule of SVU that if a teenage girl shows up in an episode, she's the killer. Keep your eye on the cute girl!) Hannah, played with luminescent innocence by Abby Jackman, is so sweet and fragile, you just know she's going to be embroiled in something terrible.
Dia proves the affair is ongoing. She giggles, "Kent sends me voice messages saying his happiest place is in my golden triangle." (Can they say that on TV?) "He texts me pictures of King Sebastian. That's what we call it." Our detectives consider subpoenaing Kent to drop trou and tender King Sebastian for comparison. (Should we call that a "subpoenis"?) Instead, they bluff him into confessing his affair.
Kent asked Dia to give up the love child "just for a while." He got a shady lawyer to draw up fraudulent adoption and surrogacy papers transferring Tessa to the other parents, who thought they were conceiving the child via a surrogate. They're shocked to learn their baby was essentially kidnapped from Dia.
Hannah soon discovers her father's cheating the old-fashioned way: through the National Enquirer tablet edition. Then, in an insane attempt to demonstrate their extracurricular love was real, Dia invites Hannah over and plays the sex tapes she made with Hannah's father. Hannah freaks out and clubs Dia to death with a crystal vase. (I mean, who wouldn't?)
Kent goes to the apartment to try to steal back the sex tapes, and is caught by the detectives. For a minute, they think he's the killer, but his alibi quickly pans out. But then Hannah's mother confesses to the killing. There's no way she could've done it -- she's dying -- remember the pitcher of water she couldn't lift? But she says, "What parents really want is to protect their child." She begs Olivia and Nick to let her take the fall. This is the last thing she can do for her little girl.
The detectives wrestle with the ethical dilemma. They ultimately agree, and Mom pleads guilty to manslaughter. She gives her daughter one final hug before being led off to finish her life in jail.
Verdict: B
What they got right:
This was an interesting twist on the John Edwards case. The man who was almost vice president had an affair and a secret love child with a nutty blond new-age videographer, while his wife was dying of breast cancer. The whole mess was exposed by the National Enquirer. Edwards was later charged with -- and acquitted of -- federal campaign law violations for using campaign funds to support the mistress. His lovely daughter, however, has never murdered anyone (by all accounts, she is a strong and intelligent woman, and the rock her father leaned on throughout the trial).
If you have an affair with a crazy person, you are probably going to get caught. (Heck, even if your lover is perfectly sane, the odds are against you -- especially in today's digitized world. If America's top spymaster can't pull it off, Joe Blow probably can't either.)
Olivia was right when she said sometimes women steal babies because they fantasize a relationship with the child. In one horrifying case, a Texas woman shot and killed a new mother, and stole her three-day-old baby, because she had suffered a miscarriage and wanted a baby of her own. In another real case, an American couple learned that the child they had adopted from Guatemala had been snatched from her biological mother's car. A different girl stolen from a New York hospital and raised by her kidnapper, solved her own case, 23 years later.
What they got wrong:
Adorable tween killers. We see so many of them on SVU, but they are almost never the sex-offense or child-abuse culprits in real life. There are real predators out there. They typically aren't high-achieving high-school girls.
What do you think SVU fans? Would you go to jail to protect your daughter? Would a jury convict an accomplished teenage girl who'd been forced to watch her dad do a John Holmes impression? And should the Enquirer get more journalistic credit? Leave your comments!

A Cultural Contribution from Bride's Trousseau (Dowry) to "Emerging Adulthood": Ideas Based on Turkish Culture
Volume 5- Issue 3
Pages: 39-46 Download Count : 850 View Count: 714
This paper tries to set out the link between emerging adulthood and preparing dowry in Turkish culture. As reviewed by Arnett, emerging adulthood is a culturally constructed life phase and thought to carry its own constellation of demographic and psychological correlates. In this editorial essay, dowry is discussed not only in its original form that has served to ornament houses as laces and cloths which are usually kept and in a wood chest typically but also in its recent form that serves to set up houses as furniture and white goods at least for the urban educated part of the society. We think this change is quite related with the presence and duration of emerging adulthood as it makes the transition to adulthood a longer and more difficult period. We suggest that preparing dowry and having this tradition regionally in different levels of importance effects the timing of transition to adulthood in Turkey.

In the Upper West Side of New York City, Public School 199 stands on West 70th Street as a high-wealth, high-performing, and intensely sought-after elementary school. But this fall, the popular school will usher in a new, different class of students—and the enrollment change has drawn fear, scorn, and fierce opposition from local parents.
In the fall of 2015, the New York City Department of Education announced plans to redraw District 3's attendance zones with the goal of making schools like PS 199 more economically integrated. The proposed changes would move several elementary-school students from Public School 191—a neighboring, high-poverty, majority-minority school—into PS 199.
Parents at the wealthy school were outraged, and the city's first attempt to integrate the two schools failed amid the backlash. After contentious debates and heated protests, the city dropped the plan, stating it would need more time to devise a new approach that "reached consensus."
The city resurrected its proposal the next year and, although the rezoning plan is still fraught with conflict, it somehow muscled its way through the dissension to reach a final vote last fall. District 3's Community Education Council—a locally elected parent group that votes on zoning policies—had long been in favor of new zoning lines and approved the city's plan on a 9-to-1 vote.
But parents who are opposed to the plan have continued to fight. Some are placing political pressure, threatening to campaign against any official who supports the new zones. Others have warned that they will enroll their children in private school. Some have even hinted at taking legal action. Overall, the battles roiling PS 199 and PS 191's elementary-school campuses have proven that, when it comes to school integration, change is no easy task.
One would think Americans are ready for school integration, though. In a new study by my colleague Ulrich Boser and me, we found that most Americans—more than 60 percent—report that school segregation is an important issue for them, and nearly 70 percent of Americans agree that more should be done to integrate low- and high-poverty schools.

Participative Management: A Practice for Meeting the Demands of the Eighties.
Howes, Nancy J.; McCarthy, Harold
To assess the effects of participative management (PM) in a suburban school district in an upstate New York metropolitan area, researchers examined the one-year-old program, surveyed staff members, and analyzed district records. The PM plan involved teams of teachers and administrators at both school building and district levels, providing advice and suggestions and working inside a formal decision network. Evaluation data were gathered through a questionnaire survey of all 56 PM team members and of 62 selected nonteam personnel, and through content analysis of all teams' agendas and minutes and of selected district records from the preceding five years. The variables covered included team meeting characteristics, content, and processes; district employee grievances, collective negotiations, and union-administration meeting processes; and survey respondents' perceptions of PM teams' effectiveness, coordination, information provision, and receptivity to ideas. The researchers conclude that PM has widened staff participation in decision-making, won staff acceptance, improved staff-administrator relations, and reduced conflict over who makes what decisions. Implications of the findings involve PM's usefulness in the 1980s for handling issues of decision responsibility, simplistic decisions, administrator time limitations, school-community interaction, union relations, and educators' openness to change.

Sorry for the overload of San Francisco pictures lately. It's the city by the bay. It's where I left my heart. I truly want to live in San Francisco... instead I live about an hour away from this beautiful city. Growing up in the central valley of California my mom would always take us to visit the Fisherman's Wharf or we would go to the Exploratorium of San Francisco. Now that I am older I have branched away from the touristy spots and found some local gems in the city. The Mosaic Steps are located near Golden Gate Park in the Sunset District. You can park on the street and walk straight up the stairs. Getting a clear photo of the steps is a little difficult considering that many locals are wondering around the park:
Little Solin went to sleep on the drive over. Unfortunately, the stairs are not stroller accessible. So Mr. RJ took it upon himself to carry her all the way up the beautiful stairs:
And the stairs are truly beautiful:
But once you reach the top of the beautiful mosaic stairs... there's more... regular boring stairs to climb:
And when you reach the top... little baby Solin wakes up.
She gave her daddy a killer work out though:
At the very top of the stairs is Grand View Park. Which received it's wonderful name because of the 360 degree view:
You can see all of Golden Gate Park to the Golden Gate Bridge:
The wind was really strong and chilly. Solin held on to her daddy as long as she could:
Sometimes these are the only photos you can get with the family:
And you can also take silly selfies of your wind blown hair... aka bad hair day?
The mosaic steps is considered a hidden gem in the middle of San Francisco. I highly recommend you climb the stairs. The view its self is worth it:

For years, a gaggle of Zimbabwean villagers resisted efforts by the spouse of former President Robert Mugabe to power them off a farm close to the capital, enduring police raids and the demolition of their houses. Now that Mugabe has resigned, the farmers say they're able to transfer extra freely in a blow to Grace Mugabe's efforts to increase her landholdings.
"God bless her, we suffered," mentioned 57-year-old Violet Mazvarira, who described a tough life on the disputed farm in an space of rolling hills, 25 miles north of the capital, Harare.
The Mazowe district is a centerpiece of property prone to come below scrutiny as many Zimbabweans consider the Mugabe household exploited its energy to improperly take management of land and different sources in a rustic the place many wrestle to get by.
Grace Mugabe, whose ambitions to succeed her husband as president triggered a army takeover, has attracted criticism previously for lavish purchasing journeys. In October, she went to courtroom in an try to seize property of a Lebanese businessman who allegedly did not ship a diamond ring price greater than $1.35 million.
The previous first woman arrange a faculty and runs a dairy farm in Mazowe, initiatives that she mentioned would enhance Zimbabwe's devastated financial system however had been broadly seen as an try to construct a enterprise empire for private acquire. These ambitions at the moment are in query after her 93-year-old husband resigned Tuesday following stress from the army, parliament and avenue protesters, ending practically 4 many years in energy that noticed Zimbabwe slide into financial damage.
The battle over Manzou farm, also referred to as Arnold farm, was a flashpoint for nationwide anger over perceptions that Grace Mugabe thought she was above the legislation in her efforts to evict residents and switch the world right into a wildlife park. Earlier this yr, human rights attorneys secured a courtroom order permitting lots of of villagers to remain on the farm, however police or guards confirmed up once more and tried to power folks off the land, in accordance with group chief Harmless Dube.
Grace Mugabe "by no means adopted the courtroom order," he mentioned. "She was nonetheless bringing police right here."
Now, nevertheless, issues are completely different. After information of Mugabe's resignation reached the farm, villagers staged an illustration, marching in close by roads with out interference from safety forces. Police who used to look at the farm's entrance look like hunkered down of their compound. An indication says "trespassers will probably be prosecuted," however folks come and go.
"I can do any mission that I need, freely, with none interference," mentioned Dube, who nonetheless stays involved that individuals on Manzou farm haven't got formal possession of the land the place they develop crops and lift livestock.
The villagers first moved into Manzou farm round 2000 as a part of a wave of land seizures and evictions of farmers from Zimbabwe's white minority, which relinquished energy in 1980 after a guerrilla conflict by black nationalists. Mugabe mentioned the often-violent reform program was meant to redistribute sources to poor blacks, however many prime farms as an alternative ended up within the palms of ruling celebration leaders, celebration loyalists, safety chiefs, relations and cronies.
Critics mentioned many invaded farms had been mismanaged, hurting Zimbabwe's agricultural manufacturing and the financial system.
A number of years in the past, Grace Mugabe mentioned folks on Manzou farm had been panning for gold, and she or he accused an area lawmaker of making an attempt to incite folks to withstand her declare to the land.
"I may need a small fist," she mentioned on the time. "However on the subject of preventing, I'll put stones inside to enlarge it. Don't doubt my capabilities."
Many villagers had been pressured out, however some remained.
"We at the moment are blissful as a result of we're simply planting and now we have acquired one other authorities," mentioned farmer Gifmo Tsaratsa, who hopes his group "can speak to them about what we want."

279th Engineer (Combat) Battalion
In reply to:
279th Engineer Combat Battalion
Edward Stack 9/02/05
The battalion was a non-divisional unit which would have been assigned to a headquarters higher than a division - corps, department, field army, etc. Members would have been authorized the shoulder patch of the unit to which the battalion was permanently assigned - even while attached to another major organization.
The following is an address for the battalion's veterans' association but it's anybody's guess as to whether it's current. It'd be wise to try the phone number before proceeding further:
279th Engineer (Combat) Battalion Association
Mr. Joseph Smith
Post Office Box 7036
Sun City, Florida 33586-7036
I have a schedule of military reunions reaching into early 2007. There's nothing planned for the 279th but that may or may not be significant.
The battalion arrived in the European Theater late in the game. I did a brief look-up and found no divisional attachments. May possibly have been Corps Engineers for XIII (13th), XVI (16th) or XXII (22nd) but that's just speculation (which I don't usually engage in).
Contact the U. S. Army Center of Military History at
< firstname.lastname@example.com >
1. A complete history of the 279th covering the period of 2 October 1944 to 9 May 1945, both dates inclusive.
2. A complete list of assignments AND attachments (the two terms are NOT synonymous).
3. A complete list of honors and campaign participation credits.
When you have all this - or as much as possible - contact me and we'll go from there.

The second theory is similar and is known as "evolutionary neuroandrogenic (ENA) theory of male aggression". [79] [80] Testosterone and other androgens have evolved to masculinize a brain in order to be competitive even to the point of risking harm to the person and others. By doing so, individuals with masculinized brains as a result of pre-natal and adult life testosterone and androgens enhance their resource acquiring abilities in order to survive, attract and copulate with mates as much as possible. [79] The masculinization of the brain is not just mediated by testosterone levels at the adult stage, but also testosterone exposure in the womb as a fetus. Higher pre-natal testosterone indicated by a low digit ratio as well as adult testosterone levels increased risk of fouls or aggression among male players in a soccer game. [81] Studies have also found higher pre-natal testosterone or lower digit ratio to be correlated with higher aggression in males. [82] [83] [84] [85] [86]
The partition coefficient of the ester in question is important because is effects how long the drug itself stays in the system. If the testosterone transfers too quickly from the oil to the blood, the result is a sudden spike in testosterone which then rapidly drops once the dose has been used up. In the example of free testosterone injected into the muscle from a water suspension (as in Aquiviron, mentioned above), the testosterone is essentially immediately available to the bloodstream due to its low partition coefficient, and thus there is an immediate spike of testosterone which is used up quickly in the body.
Injectable steroids are injected into muscle tissue, not into the veins. They are slowly released from the muscles into the rest of the body, and may be detectable for months after last use. Injectable steroids can be oil-based or water-based. Injectable anabolic steroids which are oil-based have longer half-life than water-based steroids. Both steroid types have much longer half-lives than oral anabolic steroids. And this is proving to be a drawback for injectables as they have high probability of being detected in drug screening since their clearance times tend to be longer than orals. Athletes resolve this problem by using injectable testosterone early in the cycle then switch to orals when approaching the end of the cycle and drug testing is imminent.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in Jackson County Circuit Court, alleges that the girl, while a second-grader in the 2011-2012 school year, was abused by Matthew J. Nelson, a former district elementary school teacher.
The suit names names Nelson, the school district and several district administrators.
The family is alleging negligence, negligent supervision and intentional infliction of emotional distress. School district officials also failed to take action against Nelson, allowing him to remain in a position of authority over students, according to the lawsuit.
Since the alleged offenses, the girl has suffered from depression and sadness and once tied a rope around her neck and tightened it.
Kim Roam, a Blue Springs lawyer who represents the school district, said he had not seen the lawsuit and had no comment.
Nelson, now 34, admitted earlier this month that he sexually abused 11 boys. Sentencing has been scheduled for April 25.
According to the lawsuit, Nelson began abusing the girl, identified as "Plaintiff Jane Doe," when she was 7.
During the 2011 school year, the suit alleges, Nelson "began an ongoing, repeated and continuous practice of fondling, holding, kissing and otherwise inappropriately touching and assaulting Plaintiff Jane Doe, including such specific acts as touching her private area, touching her legs, and inner thighs, and requiring Plaintiff Jane Doe to stand between his legs while he sat at his desk in the classroom."
Further, the school district officials knew about prior inappropriate contact by Nelson against at least one other Grain Valley student, the lawsuit alleges. At one point, it adds, administrators spoke to Nelson but otherwise failed to take adequate action against him.
Authorities arrested Nelson in January 2012 after several students alleged he had touched their genitals either through or inside their clothing.
Prosecutors filed initial charges based on allegations made by four children. More charges followed in February.
In a letter released that month, district officials said that a "concern" regarding Nelson had been brought to their attention in 2008.
That allegation originated in an anonymous report called into the Missouri School Violence Hotline. District officials said they discussed the allegation with Nelson at that time but added that the "generic nature" of the report didn't lead them in any particular direction.
The incidents to which Nelson pleaded guilty occurred from August 2008 through January 2012.
"The widespread multi-year nature of the abuse involving so many children is difficult to comprehend," said Andrew Smith, lawyer with Humphrey, Farrington & McClain, the Independence law firm that is representing the family.

Volga multiservice platform
To increase a performance of your network due to high-speed device
The new multiservice platform for building of high-speed DWDM networks Volga supports channel speed 400 Gbit/s. The Volga platform chassis can be installed in 19 or 21 inch telecommunication racks. Volga platform is optimized for the use of 40G and 100G transponders. It has new power supplies, cooling and internal management systems.
- Up to 700 Gbps in one chassis 10U-size, up to 5Tbps in one 19 inch racks.
- 4 chassis types: 13 slots in 10U, 7 slots in 6U, 3 slots in 3U or 1 slot in 1U
- Transponders and aggregators from 2,5G to 400G
- Optic amplifiers: EDFA, RAMAN and gybrid EDFA+RAMAN
- Two slots for power supplies: 650, 850, 1200 or 1600W
- Chassis depths — 300 mm
The DWDM-system Volga was assigned the status of equipment of Russian origin by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. It had passed the state examination and was entered in the register of innovative products that are recommended to the procurement in the scope of 94-FZ and 223-FZ federal laws.
Powerful DWDM transmission: 40, 80 or 96 channels 100G each, 48 channels 400G
Transponders support the line speeds 100, 40, 10, 2.5G. The hot upgrade without traffic interruption is possible. The use of coherent detection and Soft-FEC in new 400G/100/40/10G transponders makes the transmission characteristics of these transponders very solid and enables them to work in old lines together with existed 2,5G channels. Due to high fault-tolerance of 100G DWDM transponder, the transmission on distances of up to 4250 km without dispersion compensators in the line with cascade of amplifiers is possible, as well as the 500 km point-to-point transmission with the use of Remote Optically Pumped Amplifiers (ROPA).
Space efficiency in the rack
A line of different form-factor chassis with 13 slots, 7 slots, 3 slots for the convenience of network construction and subsequent renovation and expansion of channel capacity. Each transponder of the Volga platform is also available in 1U standalone version, including 400 Gbit /s equipment.
Flexibility and network protection: 1+1 and add/drop, ROADM
- ROADM is a flexible output of optical channels for network protection and upgrade
- Protection 1+1 at speeds of 2.5, 10G – two line interfaces
- Aggregators 10x10G, 4x10G, 4×2.5G, 8x1GE
- BS cards – optical protection of expensive interfaces 40G and 100G/400G
Modules of the platform support OTN X-connect with capacity of switching matrix of 40 or 100 Gbit/s. The next generation of equipment will support OTN Switch with capacity of up to 1 Tbit/s. DWDM system Volga supports up to 96 channels in C-band and have an option of additional extension in L-band to achieve transmission capacity of up to 27 Tbit/s. All Volga equipment has a full support of OTN technology. System elements (optical transponders, amplifiers, aggregators, control units or power supplies) can be replaced in a hot mode, i.e. without turning off the equipment and traffic loss. Optical switching cards enable building 1+1 protection networks and ring topology networks.
The Volga platform key features

According to the figures published by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the Eruopean Union, house prices fell by 1.8% in the euro area and by 1.4% in the EU in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the same quarter of the previous year. Among the Member States for which data are available, the highest annual increases in house prices in the fourth quarter of 2012 were recorded in Latvia (+9.8%), while the largest fall was in Spain (-12.8%).
European Commission – Press Release
In the construction sector, seasonally adjusted production fell by 0.8% in the euro area (EA17) and by 0.4% in the EU27 in February 2013, compared with the previous month. Among the Member States for which data are available for February 2013, production in construction fell in three, remained stable in Spain and rose in ten. The decreases were registered in Poland (-3.0%), Germany (-2.7%) and Portugal (-0.8%), and the highest increases in Romania (+5.0%), Slovakia (+4.1%) and Sweden (+3.4%).
European Commission – Press Release
Building the Single Market for Green Products
On 9 April 2013, the European Commission issued a Communication on Building the Single Market for Green Products. The Communication aims at avoiding additional cost for businesses and promoting green products. The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission developed a Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology and an Organisational Environmental Footprint (OEF) methodology for enterprises. These methodologies are intended to apply for all; therefore it hasn't got a sectoral approach.
Indeed, the Commission's intention to harmonize the methods calculating the environmental footprint of products is in the interest of our industry. Harmonizing the used indicators can reduce national barriers.
The Commission appears to be careful when imposing the new footprint and it coordinates with CEN TC 350 and with the industry as well. The Communication states that "Where product group-specific rules already exist and are used by stakeholders, the Commission will use these as a basis for the development of the PEFCRs".
However, BIBM draw the attention to fact, that construction products are intermediary products, therefore the methodology cannot serve for comparing construction products, the environmental footprint should therefore be measured at the building level.
The Commission is currently looking for volunteers to "test" the proposed methods for a three year period. After that three year, the result will be examined and decided the next steps.

Standardised mandatory reporting on Corporate Social Responsibility
On 16 April 2013, the European Commission proposed an amendment to existing accounting legislation in order to improve the transparency of certain large companies on social and environmental matters. The move follows publication in October 2011 of the Commission's 2011-14 Strategy for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Under the proposal, large companies with more than 500 employees would be required to disclose relevant and material environmental and social information in their annual reports.
The proposal aims at generating higher levels of trust in business on the part of citizens. Indeed, currently there are discussions on mandatory vs. voluntary issue. There is a fear that mandatory reporting would cause additional cost for small and medium businesses. If this is so, a voluntary based, business driven approach might be favourable.
It's believed that sustainability reporting will help markets function more efficiently and drive European organisations towards government-agreed sustainable development goals. Social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are currently popular methods, with companies also exploring the use of apps and games to inform investors and customers of their sustainability values and achievements.
In the meantime, the European Parliament took steps to implement the already mentioned Strategy published in October 2011. Own initiative reports have been adopted by the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, and the Committee on Legal Affairs.

In February 2013 compared with January 2013, seasonally adjusted industrial production grew by 0.4% in both the euro area (EA17) and the EU27, according to estimates released by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
European Commission – Press Release
Euro area annual inflation was 1.7% in March 20132, down from 1.8% in February. A year earlier the rate was 2.7%. Monthly inflation was 1.2% in March 2013. In March 2013, the lowest annual rates were observed in Greece (-0.2%), Latvia (0.3%) and Sweden (0.5%), and the highest in Romania (4.4%), Estonia (3.8%) and the Netherlands (3.2%).
European Commission – Press Release
The Building Performance Institute Europe published a new study on Investing in energy efficiency in Europe's buildings'. The report finds that the risk of 'asset depreciation' on properties is compounded by a lack of data about the energy consumption and carbon footprints of buildings.
The report also states, that "Deep retrofits will be crucial to achieving lasting value".
Only half of the EU companies surveyed by the BPIE audited their energy use, although this figure is higher than in the US (30%), India (28%) or China (15%). Of those companies which have begun proactive evaluations, four lessons emerge, the report says:
·Deeper retrofits lower the risk of asset depreciation.
·Taking a portfolio approach to managing building stock helps large property owners increase the cost effectiveness of their energy efficiency efforts.
·Retrofitting should be strategic and Europe's oldest and most inefficient buildings should be renovated first.
·The scale of investment determines the speed of the retrofitting.

That Thing's
Frequently Asked Questions
That Thing is a program at Epworth Forest Conference Center located in North Webster, Indiana along the shore of Lake Webster. Proximity:
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man and that salvation is available to all in and through Him.
Students must be between an incoming high school freshman and an outgoing high school graduate (grades 9-13).
Adult volunteers, counselors, and cooks must be at least 2 years removed from high school or employed by the church.
The general policy regarding dress and dating is "modesty". Modesty is subjective to and defined by the values of a community. Students and adults are asked to dress and act towards one another in a way that reflects their self image as a child of God, that respects others, and does not cause stumbling blocks. If dating or dress are creating distractions to an individual or a group, the behavior will be addressed with the leadership of the student(s).
Bible, Pen & Paper, Sleeping bag/Bedding, Pillow, Modest and Weather Appropriate Clothing, Tennis Shoes and Sandals, Toiletries, Swimsuit, Sun Screen, Bug Spray, Money (snacks, shirts, fundraisers, etc.)
Alcohol, Tobacco, Drugs, Weapons, Fireworks, Pets
One of the core values That Thing operates with is nurturing an existing faith community. Your students will grow because of your leaderships investment in them. This is not a "send your kids" camp...it's a "bring your group" space and it's designed for pastors and youth workers to customize the experience around what the leadership knows is needed in the students' spiritual development.
Children of adult leaders using the Private Lodges are allowed at That Thing.
Adults participating in the Campus House or the Epworth Dorms may not have children with them in those lodges. However, so long as supervision ratios are maintained, those adults and children may rent a room in the on-site Freeland Hotel (fees apply).
An adult to student ratio of 1:10 must be maintained though some of the different ticket options have unique options for your adult supervision.

Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas and Coahuila to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by "M.A." Navarro from Ciudad Victoria and Breitbart Texas' Ildefonso Ortiz.
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — As the border state of Tamaulipas prepares for their upcoming gubernatorial election, candidates have begun to trade jabs about the out of control cartel violence and the rampant corruption that has had a historic hold in this region.
As candidates begin to host campaign rallies and debates promising a better tomorrow, residents in cities like Ciudad Victoria, Matamoros, Reynosa and Laredo are still concerned about the regular occurrences of drug cartel violence including shootouts, beheadings, dismemberments, executions, kidnappings and large scale gun battles that continue to spread terror among the already tired residents.
Ciudad Victoria, the city where just last week the gubernatorial candidates held their first debate, has been become a battle ground for two factions of the Los Zetas cartel that continue to fight over territories. As Breitbart Texas previously reported, the civil war raging within the Los Zetas cartel has spread terror to the region where citizens are no longer able to go out at night for fear of being caught up in the middle of a shootout.
During the debate, which was not televised but only shown online, the candidates traded attacks and accused each other of corruption and ties to organized crime. The ruling party Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) is facing an uphill battle in distancing themselves from cartel corruption. As Breitbart Texas previously reported, the two most recent former governors of Tamaulipas and a former mayor from the border city of Matamoros are currently fugitives of the U.S. Department of Justice. They are wanted on money laundering charges in connection with bribery and ties to organized crime. Some of the fugitives have been making public appearances supporting their political party. Several other Tamaulipas officials have been linked in U.S. courts to public corruption while other have been openly unmasked as having been operators for the Gulf Cartel or Los Zetas.
This month, Ciudad Victoria saw a series of executions in city streets including five individuals being murdered at an apartment used by members of one cartel faction. In that executions, two men, two women and an underage teen were all gunned down. Multiple other executions and a large gun battle outside of a government building only helped cause even more terror.

text: I've been shooting a lot of protests lately. Basically, they're just a lot of people really close to one another; often moving. After having made many mistakes with getting my exposures right, I worked out that if the sun is behind me and in the face of protestors I will set exposure compensation to underexpose by a stop to bring out even tonal range. When the sun is behind the protestors I like to over expose just slightly to bring out the shadow details on their faces. This could apply to street photography when the light is in front or behind your subject. — Justin Wilkes
