Plenty of room in the Broadsedge, the furniture and fittings needs a little update, other than that, fine, plenty of room and very clean,.
Apart from pet hairs on the cushions on the sofa, not so good!

Lovely site and local area friendly , felt fully relaxed , this was our second visit to this site my family wanted to return this year. A few disappointments with our bungalow but still a very happy time had by all and made lots of new memories. Recommend the water taxi to Lowestoft and to hire a boat ,very relaxing and good fun and the weather was fantastic .

bungalow was spacious and clean but kitchen was not well equipped for self catering meaning we had to buy pans and serving spoons etc. Also only 5 plates for a property that takes 8 people?!
View of the bins was not made clear in advert.

The location was ideal and the staff were very pleasant and professional. The only thing we felt could be improved upon was investment in new mattresses and new sofas. These are the basics which make or break a good holiday, poor sleep doesn't make for a happy day next day and it seems a lot of money to spend and not be comfortable. Also a couple of electric fans would be good, as it was very stuffy even with the windows open. I personally feel if the owner were to invest one weeks worth of rent and make the upgrades then the house (Broadsedge, no 45) would be just perfect.

Narrator Fred Sanders takes listeners on a tour of such infamous historical groups as Yakuza, the Priory of Sion, and the Freemasons in a voice that is sober, clear, and measured. Appropriate, since Secret Societies, by Canadian author John Lawrence Reynolds, is hardly the stuff of tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists. Reynolds takes a researched-based approach to these sensational shadow groups, debunking his share of conspiracy theories along the way. And yet, chapters on The Assassins, the 11th-century Iranian spiritual cousin to al-Qaeda, and Skull and Bones, the Yale-based group that boasts such members as George W. Bush and John Kerry, demonstrate that the histories of even historical groups can be frighteningly relevant. A fascinating trip through time, Secret Societies, is catnip for history buffs.
Does a sinister cabal actually control international affairs? Were William Shakespeare and Abraham Lincoln secretly involved with a group founded to discover and preserve the principles of alchemy? Has an ancient mystical religion really been reduced to a length of red string that sells for a dollar an inch? Secret societies surround us, yet they often remain a mystery. Their secrecy suggests sacrilege and crime, and their loyalties stand accused of undermining the world's governments. They generate fear, suspicion, and - above all - fascination.
From the parched wadis of the Middle East to the crowded boutiques of Beverly Hills, award-winning author John Lawrence Reynolds peels away centuries of speculation and paranoia and shines a brilliant light on organizations that have been shrouded in secrecy for ages, from the Templars and the Mafia to the Priory of Sion and Skull & Bones. He offers a smart and surprising behind-the-scenes exploration of the tales - confirmed and fabricated - that surround the best-known and often least-understood secret societies.
©2011 John Lawrence Reynolds (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
Entertaining and informative. Good purchase. This book gives an insite into all the stories we all thought we knew.
"Great book"
Great touch on the different secret societies. Loved learning little tidbits that relate to our holidays or everyday lives and rituals.
"Don't bother. - conclusions make no sense!!!!"
Research is sketchy and conclusions make little sense if all data I am currently aware of is considered - waste of time for me
"Save Your Money; This Audiobook is a Waste."
I really wanted this book to be good but is more fantasy and sensationalism than anything resembling factual. The author did a poor job of researching or fact checking; I doubt he made any effort at all. It seems like a series of fictional accounts with a few less important facts thrown in to try to add credibility.
This book lacks substance, truth or correct information.
Save your money; I wish I had.

Jason Zander: Perspectives on Visual Studio 2008 and the Future of VS
Download this episode
With Visual Studio 2010 beta 1 out the door and available for your coding pleasure, we figured it would be a great time to talk to
Jason Zander about Visual Studio 2008, which has been available since, well, 2008. VS2008 introduced a lot of new technologies for developers to add to their arsenal. Which ones are successful? Which ones aren't being used as much as anticipated?
Of course, we also talk about the upcoming version of VS, VS 2010 (How could we not?). Jason is a developer at heart. He has code in Windows, in the CLR and other big shipping products. Last I talked to him, he ran the CLR team (and you've
seen Jason many time on C9 over the years). Now he runs Visual Studio. Let's find out what's on his mind...

The Discussion
I'd love to test out TFS, but there are of course some hurdles. I don't have a separate server to install TFS on, I don't have 10.000 U$ to spend on the product. Source control, build systems are becoming standards in a developers toolbox but TFS isn't easily available for poor developers such as myself.
I wish you included this "easy bug filing" you talk about in VS2010 B1 in the "Report a Bug" command.
The process right now is tedious and I have filed over 15 bus for B1 so far, but I seriously don't feel like filing anything anymore because of all the steps I have to do (take video, type steps, fill info, etc..)
Recording execution (at various levels of granularity) is a native capability of Windows 7. Same will be true for VS, as Jason energetically revealed.
Please keep finding and submitting bugs. I'll see to it that your feedback on the mechanics and experience of bug filing get to the precise individual (Jason, actually, is a great first stop ) capable of doing something about it.
Keep on Testing (do see the latest WM_IN for some interesting conversation on the Test discipline, if you're a developer, PM, or tester),
Thanks Charles, appreciated.
I have been reporting every single issue I have been encountering so far with VS2010 B1, and the QA team has been good to deal with.
They ask for proof a lot of times, and I have to go back and repro with a video capture...and I am a developper, so I am not enjoying any of this use of my time, but I know that in the end, it is time well spend as it will make the product more solid for I and others.
Thank you for the great job testing/reporting and for your committment to ensuring we release a solid product. Your effort is very much appreciated by the VS team. Of that you can be sure!
Thank you,
"it doesn't hang or crash" - that's the bar these days?

You don't take a photograph, you make it.
– Ansel Adams
Photographers use the tools of their trade combined with strong artistic vision to present their unique perspective of the world whether they're taking portraits, documenting special events, or capturing the essence of Larimer County's amazing natural resources. A photograph conveys, in a way no words can, a sense of the mystery and beauty of life, nature, and the achievements of mankind.
Your images can help tell the story of Larimer County's parks and open spaces. Selected photographs are used in annual reports, calendars, promotional materials, website, slide shows, and where a thousand words get boiled down to a single picture! Be a parks and open spaces photographer.
Thanks to these photographers for their time and talent in the last year, and for allowing the use of their art:
|After a successful technology career, Harry moved from California to Northern Colorado to pursue his passion for outdoor activities and photography (Harry-Strharsky.artistwebsites.com & HarryStrharsky.photoshelter.com). He developed and has maintained Larimer County Natural Resource Department's photo database for the past five years, and is active in the Fort Collins Digital Camera Club.

Great everyday bag
"I've been looking for a bag like this for lighter school and work days, where all I have to carry around is a notebook, my kindle and a water bottle, and my herschel Little America backpack is too big. So I finally found this!I love very understated bags, and this is a winner; the zippers are a perfect contrast, they're very bright against the black faux leather, and the little turn clasp on the front compartment is great. I thought it was just for show but it does have a nifty little pocket there! I love all the little compartments, there's two phone-sized open slip pockets on the inside, i like to put my phone in one and my key card in the other, and a zippered compartment on the other side of the interior, as well as the aforementioned outer pocket, and another zippered pocket on the back exterior.I love the handles, they go over my shoulder very comfortably. I've never been a big fan of drop handles on bigger bags, but this works fine if the bag is not too heavy.Even though I use it on my lightweight days, it fits my kindle, a notebook, a makeup bag, and my 13 in macbook! The weight of the macbook kind of deforms the bottom, and I don't plan on using it as a laptop bag, but it does in a pinch!The texture of the bag is also nice; it's not as cheap as most faux leathers. The matte finish might contribute to that. It feels very substantial. The inner linig is a light print, it's good to see into as another reviewer said. For the sale price ($50) it is a great value. At the MSRP of $105 I might have settled for something smaller and pricier but made of real leather. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the small compartment had two zippers."

My first black bag!
"In my opinion it's hard to find a black handbag of great quality without it costing hundreds. It took me long enough, but I finally found a black hand bag that meets all my requirements: size ( prefer medium to large bags), can be converted into crossbody, has enough exterior and interior compartments, and is not overwhelmed with heavy gold toned hardware. The quality is really great! It even feels like real leather. I think the inside of a bag is just as important as the exterior appearance. The print on the inside is both simple enough and unique. You can even use it as a weekender bag depending on how light you pack. I bought it in store for around $44. Great buy! I absolutely love it. Take a chance, you wont regret it."

Skip to comments.News - Local Parents Outraged Over a Teacher's Alleged Negative Comments About President Obama
Posted on 11/08/2012 8:33:24 PM PST by BerniesFriend
Outraged over a teacher's alleged negative comments in class about President Obama has parents at Delcambre Elementary fighting back. The day after election day, Lindsey Shello's son told her his fourth grade teacher wore all black to school. He said the teacher told class she was attending America's funeral, because Barrack Obama was re-elected president.
"She made the comment that since Michelle Obama is first lady and with the meal plan she has, the kids are gonna look like toothpicks in a few months," said Shello.
Shello says the teacher also told the class, the US would become the new China because of Obama. Shocked at what her son told her, Shello posted her feelings on Facebook. This mother says the teacher wrote her a message saying she'd like to have a conversation with her and she shouldn't believe everything her 9-year-old son tells her.
"Her personal opinion needs to remain her personal opinion. She doesn't need to push it on the kids," said Shello.
Chassatey Jackson says her two children also told her the same story. Jackson doesn't think teachers should express their political beliefs in class.
"They want to believe everything their teacher says and if my kid hears the teacher say the sky is black, he's going to believe the sky is black because his teacher said it," said Jackson.
These parents want answers. They've reached out to the school board and Delcambre Elementary principal. We reached out as well, we were told Delcambe Elementary's principal was not in today.And the school board said the matter is under investigation.
"I think an apology is owed, but it's not owed from the school board," said Shello's mother Liz Shello-Walton.
We reached out to Louisiana Association of Educators to see if what these parents and students claim the teacher did is out of line? Executive Director Dr. Michael Walker-Jones says he would need to look at the case closely before giving the teacher a critique.
I actually agree - teachers should keep their personal political beliefs (left and right) out of the classroom.
What a joke. Kids in public school are bombarded DAILY with pro-liberal rants. So every once in a while, a non-moron speaks up, and people are outraged? Please, suck it
"They want to believe everything their teacher says and if my kid hears the teacher say the sky is black, he's going to believe the sky is black because his teacher said it," said Jackson."
Poor kid. Is he an idiot?
It's OK that the hero worship of a Marxist President and constant drumbeat of socialism transform the poor kids, though.
I wonder what the teachers FR name is....
The Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not criticize Dear Leader.
"I actually agree - teachers should keep their personal political beliefs (left and right) out of the classroom."
The left won't but we'll be nice and politely step aside.
Chassatey? What kind of fricking name is that? Is it suppose to be Chastity?
It's a time honored dictum - "no religion or politics", even among adults. I had a few frank exchanges with my well known cohorts at lunch, at work, previous to the election, but when the election was over, the discussion was over. I guess from their point of view they're letting me off easy!
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
Prager Zeitungon
This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper
"Chassatey? What kind of fricking name is that? Is it suppose to be Chastity?"
Not too many chaste Obama supporters.
"She made the comment that since Michelle Obama is first lady and with the meal plan she has, the kids are gonna look like toothpicks in a few months,"
Ha! I'm sorry, but that's pretty danged funny.
I do agree, though, that the teacher should have kept her personal feelings out of the classroom. I don't doubt some of these "upset" parents wouldn't be so upset if the teacher had come in black mourning a Romney victory. Nor am I naive enough to ignore the liberal views being pushed on kids in many public schools. Still, it wasn't the right way for the teacher to deal with it.
That's why the Czech Republic is on my short list of SHTF destinations.
HEY! It's "chastity" by another name, ok? It's freedom of naming, if you value freedom. To me, it's clear cut.
I'm sure the Leftists would want her arrested.
Of course if she has tenure, she can't be punished for saying out loud in class what she truly believes. That's what tenure is supposed to protect, right?
I thought it's "Chaz" now.
She should have made up an "Obama is a Commie" song and taught it to them.
OH, NOES ! Poor lil darlins' exposed to truth. Give the teacher a raise.
Wonder if these mom's ever heard or saw the video of the Stepford Children chanting "Barack Hussein Obama, mmmm...mmmm...mmmm....."
Or the ones recently singing the song about the terrible things that are going to happen if Romney gets elected.
Ex-com-bloc former warsaw pact countries "get it."
She could probably be Obama's daughter....
The name caught my attention too - once I saw that the rest of the article was just blah blah, blah blah blah.
I was laying on the couch tonight in a dead sleep pooped from the whole election insanity. I must have been in a daze since Tuesday night because I woke up out of a dead sleep with a violent jerk and sat up realizing that this country ACTUALLY reelected a total loser like BOzo instead of a qualified leader. I kept asking myself " DID THIS REALLY HAPPEN?"
"Chassatey Jackson says her two children also told her the same story. Jackson doesn't think teachers should express their political beliefs in class."
Is this an Amish name?
I seem to recall the person who originally made that statement was the either Romania's new president or the editor of one of Romania's largest newspapers. The statement made the rounds via the internet several times. Regardless of who originally said it, it is spot on the mark.
She shouldn't have said the kids would look like toothpicks. Trees are killed to make toothpicks, oooohhh noooooooo...
Good Choice
Czech Republic has lots of tall, slender, beautiful blondes!
And good beer.
If she runs out of material.....call me!
You mean she can't even comment on policy? She has to be a robot and do whatever she's told without comment? That's not American but then America is probably dead anyway.
Not until the sicko leftists stop pushing depravity on our kids. Until that happens, I say give every teacher who speaks truth a bonus.
I remember an English teacher I had in high school. A retired Army LTC actually. He hated FDR with a passion and let it be known. This was back in the early 1970's. He was a good teacher. He knew his class was not headed off to college so he taught us about life we were fixing to face head on. When the class stopped listening out came Shakesphere LOL.
It certainly contains a meme that is useful as history rhymes along. Maybe there is a joke hidden in the name, and we don't even know it.
My sister-in-law showed up for school in black also.

|In response to Re: Water Softener Blockage
: I have a Culligan Mark 89 water softener. It has recently stopped producing soft water. Upon checking inside the brine tank,the water has risen up to the float valve shutoff level. When I run it through a recharge cycle, nothing occurs when it should be backwashing water from the brine tank. The only sounds I hear are the rapid rinse and brine tank refilling cycles. So, there must be a blockage within the brine tank. What could it be the problem and how do I correct it?

"I had second thoughts about keeping this shoe. I read to order a half size up, so I did, but it fits true to size and is a little roomy. They don't pinch and they stay on so I kept them. They go with lots of colors, look good with jeans, capris, and maxi skirts. They are very quiet and cushy."

Canada sails into semis at NORCECA
OMAHA, Nebraska (September 19, 2013)- Tabitha Love of Dauphin, Man., produced 11 points Thursday to lead Canada to a 27-25, 25-11, 25-22 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in quarterfinal action at the NORCECA (North and Central America and Carribean) women's volleyball championships.
Ten different players earned at least a point for Canada.
"We had some ups and downs," said Canada's head coach Arnd Ludwig. "I'm proud that we won and its the first time in awhile that Canada has reached the semis at a big tournament."
Canadian team captain Brittney Page of Vernon, B.C., said the players were anxious at times. Trinidad and Tobago actually held a 33-24 advantage in kills but committed a whopping 39 offensive errors.
"Trinidad and Tobago are somewhat unpredictable and that kept us on our toes," said Page. "I think what got us in trouble is that we wanted to win so bad we were focusing on the last point and not the process."
Canada faces defending champion and world number-two the United States in one of the semifinals on Friday. The winner of Puerto Rico-Mexico quarterfinal held later Thursday faces the Dominican Republic in the other semi.
"Playing the U.S., is going to be a learning experience for us," said Ludwig. "We need to play every game we can get. It's going to fun. We have no pressure whatsoever."
The winner of the tournament automatically qualifies to the 2013 FIVB Grand Champions Cup in Japan, Nov. 12 to 17. The U.S. team won the event in 2011 in Puerto Rico.

Another big prediction...
Oh boy you know this idea I'm not so crazy about but I have this strong feeling this is exactly where the story is going so I have to post it here.
With the latest chapters we have seen all these Edo Madara super powers but you have to wonder what has been the point of showing us all of this stuff only to have Edo Madara go away. I think this is a type of foreshadowing of whats is to come later and by that I think you know what I mean....
[/sigh] Yes Sasuke is going to get Hashrima cells added to his body to enhance his power. Although it wont be the level of enhancement Edo Madara has because that is due to Kabuto's expertise as a medical ninja who has studied Hashrima's cells. Tobi also has Hashrima cells but he doesn't use mokutan jutsu's because his enhancement is of a different scale compared to the Hashrima face that Danzou & Edo Madara got.
So yeah the whole performance by Madara was to give us a rough idea of what is really possible with both powers. Sasuke's power wont be nearly as powerful as Edo Madara but perhaps a slightly lower version of the same Final Susanoo power. After all Sasuke has to go up against Naruto and the Kyuubi hes going to need a great deal of power to counter that.
Which brings us to the other part of this story which is whats in Orochimaru's super secret scroll ? Well considering Orochimaru's ultimate goal was to understand the secret of ninjutsu thus his obsession with the Sharingan. I'm going to assume its the blueprint on how to enhance the Sharingan to Rinnegan. Which will give Sasuke reason to go along with Tobi's plan but for his own reason of gaining greater power. Also given how strong Naruto is and the fact even Tobi is having trouble dealing with him means he knows Sasuke will also need a boost in order to challenge him.
There is another reason why I think this is going to happen and it is because Tobi himself mentions he wants to use Sasuke as a pawn for the GM statue. I think in order to use that statue you need to have both Uchiha + Senju powers so like it or not it may be inevitable.
To be clear just because Sasuke takes Hashrima cells does not mean he will gain the Rinnegan immediately after. Even Edo Madara didnt gain the Rinnegan until near the end of his life. I think just like activating the Sharingan & MS their is a method of awakening the Rinnegan that requires extreme emotion. The more immediate difference will probably be increased stamina and a more powerful Suanoo or well basically a boost to all of Sasuke's jutsu's. Howevere even is Sasuke does awaken the Rinnegan he probably doesn't know all its functions or wont be proficient at using it.
To be honest part of the reason I didnt want Sasuke to get these enhancements was because I thought that Naruto vs Sasuke would be based on their native abilities and any alteration would create an unbalance. However it does fit the entire theme of Uchiha focusing on power and hatred vs Will of Fire - inner strength.
Okay I'm going to take it one step further and add my speculation on Tobi. Many of us have theorized that Tobi was created by Madara perhaps using his Rinnegan and the Creation of All Things jutsu to create a separate lifeform from his own body & chakra similar to how the Rikudou Sage created the 9 Bijuu.
The harder question to answer is why?
The answer may be remarkably simple given what their plan is. Lets look at what we know and that Tobi stated himself he wanted Nagato to save his power for himself. Tobi said he wants to use Sasuke as a pawn. Edo Madara awoke and thought he was revived by Nagato.
So what was the point of creating Tobi that Madara would even risk death? The one point that keeps showing up is that a pawn is needed for snyc with Gendou Mezu!!! Which means using it comes at some risk as we have seen the results from Nagato becoming skinny. The way Tobi is using GM for battle and the process of actually recreating the 10 tails are wholly different.
In order to use GM one needs the Rinnegan which means Edo Madara must have come up with plan to use Nagato as a controllable pawn and created Tobi as his alter ego to make sure everything goes according to plan but this lead to Madara dying. Nagato was suppose to reform the 10 tails then use his remaining life force to revive Madara back to life then die from exhasution. Its one thing to just have someone with the Rinnegan but as Tobi said controlling someone means understanding how to control the darkness in their hearts and Nagato was easily influenced hence why he made a good pawn for their plans. Gathering the Bijuu was one thing but synching to GM and using its full powers was quite another and not something Madara wanted to risk knowing it would kill him.
This is ultimately the role Sasuke is taking over in Tobi's plans being the new pawn to sacrifice himself without knowing it for Madara's sake.
The idea was that once Madara is brought back Tobi may be able to re-merge with him and become complete and then they can become the 10 tails host and do their eye of the Moon plan. I have hard time seeing Tobi's body being the host of the 10 tails on its own given how flimsy it looks with arms falling off and all. So only by becoming complete can Tobi/Madara carry out their plans.
Well that's the rough idea on the upcoming revelations.
Questions? lol.

If you've even so much as considered getting Botox treatments to erase your lines, I strongly urge you to make an appointment for Faceology with Narayan Sacred Healing Beauty first. And if you've already tried Botox, I implore you to consider this holistic alternative. If the thought of injecting a toxin into your skin isn't enough to make you rethink your decision, consider these preliminary studies indicating that Botox actually impedes your ability to feel emotions. I say: Yikes!
Narayan's Faceology treatment is a completely holistic alternative to Botox and other invasive wrinkle treatments like lasers and fillers. It's based on Vietnamese facial reflexology maps of the face that include the chakras, the meridians, the organs, and the skeletal and muscular systems of the entire body. And it works. Narayan (AKA Kristi Marie Jones) has built on this concept to create a completely holistic protocol for treating the skin, body and soul using her own handmade "beauty blends," as well as her own healing energy and natural intuitive abilities.
I've been a huge fan of Narayan's beauty blends for years because they're made from only the purest essential oils and other natural ingredients, all carefully selected to deliver results. The Faceology treatment uses a customized selection of these blends, including the Crystal Clarity Scrubbing Mask, Loving Heart Affirmation Serum and Super Natural Serum (you can check the product descriptions on her website for ingredient details). After cleansing, scrubbing and nourishing the skin with her yummy concoctions, Narayan takes the reflexology concept even further by tapping out tension held in the face with a crystal. I marveled at just how relaxing and rejuvenating being (lightly) pounded on the face and skull with a rock could be!
By the time Narayan was finished, I felt completely zoned out and needed a few minutes to get my bearings before driving home; energy work always does a number on me (in a good way). I took that time to gaze in awe at my face in the mirror. Lines were erased, eyes were bright, and my complexion seemed to glow from within. Pretty amazing stuff.
Narayan offers Faceology and other healing treatments at Yoga Remedy in Sherman Oaks and at her private home studio in Topanga Canyon. Please call 323.683.4224 to make an appointment.
Special Offer: Mention Chill Out LA and take 20 percent off a 90-minute Faceology treatment (regularly $180). Narayan also offers a package of five Faceology sessions for the price of four to get deeper, long-lasting results.

Sophomore Kevin Flavin was named SCC Men's Soccer Player of the Week as the forward from Oak Harbor High School scored two goals on Saturday to help SCC tie Wenatchee Valley CC in extra time. Flavin scored the tying goal in the 94th minute and gave SCC its first non-loss of the season.
The struggling Shoreline Community College men's soccer team dropped two more games over the weekend, being blanked by the top ranked Walla Walla Community College on Friday and dropping a 4-2 game to Treasure Valley on Saturday. On Friday, the Dolphins played well in the first half, going into halftime tied at 0-0, but the defending NWAACC champions came out smoking in the second half, scoring 3 goals in the first 15 minutes of the period. The first half against Treasure Valley was a see-saw affair, as TVCC scored first, to be answered by SCC, TVCC scored again and again answered by SCC, but then TVCC scored again before half-time and again in the second half, but Shoreline had no answers to those goals.
The SCC Men's Soccer Team was defeated by Columbia Basin on Saturday, 3-1. Greg Testa scored the lone goal for SCC in the 68th minute. CBC scored 3 goals in a 13 minute span in the first half to secure the victory.
SCC is 0-4 on the season, 0-1 in the Northern Region. SCC faces defending NWAACC Champion, Walla Walla Community College at home on Friday at 4:00 PM and Treasure Valley Community College from Oregon on Saturday at 2:00 PM.
The Shoreline Community College's Men's Soccer Team is 0-3 after dropping a 3-1 match to Chemeketa on Wednesday in Salem, OR. Kevin Flavin scored the lone goal for the Dolphins at the 38 minute mark of the first half.
SCC plays again on Saturday at Columbia Basin College in Pasco, WA. Game time is 2:00 PM. This is a counting game for Northern Region standings as part of the mandatory crossover games with the NWAACC Eastern Region by the Northern Region in 2010.
Collin Harlow, sophomore goal keeper was named SCC Men's Soccer Player of the Week, as he stopped 9 shots on goal last week in the SCC 1-0 loss to Tacoma CC. Collin stopped several point blank shots that kept the game close in Dolphins season opener.
The Shoreline Men's Soccer Team was defeated by Bellevue College yesterday in Salem, OR, 6-1, in a very physical game that several yellow and red cards were issued. SCC plays Chemeketa CC today in Salem as well.
The SCC men's soccer team lost to Tacoma Community College on Saturday at the SCC Soccer Field 1-0. The Dolphins came out sluggish and allowed Tacoma to dominate most of the first half. SCC goalie Colin Harlow had a good game for SCC, stopping several hard shots on goal.

great thick tights
"Love these! Not a fan of opaque tights for fall/winter, so was hoping these would be really thick and warm and they are. Not so thick that they add bulkiness but they are super comfy and don't have the opaque sheen to it which I like about them.Durable too so it seems like they wouldn't tear easily like normal tights!"

Celtic Engagement Rings Eastbourne
This is a big moment, its ring time… you are looking for a special gift that means so much – you are looking for an engagement ring to give to your love one and prove the commitment later with marriage and a nice wedding!
How to choose an engagement ring? So, now you have made the decision to purchase this important jewellery what do you do about it? What will they like? Where to buy?
You should also check delivery options if you are purchasing online and maybe look in to insurance for the ring.
More ring resources here
Knowing what they like – Style
This is important, you must get this right and it's going to be a challenge. All jewellery purchases are personal choices of style and comfort.
There are many ways to approach this, but you must explore the options or face the awkward moment where your loved one doesn't like what you have purchased.
Ask the friends, ask the key family members (mother?), take a look at the rings they already ware – if in don't take them all to the shop with you so a professional can give you some advice.
Ask a friend to help you, maybe set it up so they go shopping and the friend can get ideas for you?
There are many types of style to suite your partners preference, weather you partner is a male or female (that right you can buy for your man if you are a lady, you can buy for your man if you are a man and you can buy for your lady if you are a lady – marriage if for everyone!).
Style types to consider when looking for that beautiful engagement ring:
- Would she like a big ring?
- A more modern engagement rings
- Unusual or Alternative Rings?
- Gothic, Celtic, Edwardian?
- Art Deco is always a nice touch.
Have a more specialist type?
Disney Engagement Rings are pretty popular at the moment; these are inspired by all her favourite Disney characters over time – such as Aurora or Cinderella.
Band and Metal
When choosing the correct ring it is important to remember the band is the circular element that goes around the finger. This can be made from many types of metal, and are usually made from gold, palladium, and silver – but again these days there are a multitude of combinations.
Some common types to consider:
Yellow Gold – your standard gold in is natural state, this can be lighter if preferred with a less pure gold.
White Gold – looks silvery, it has been plated with another metal.
Platinum – Look silvery and will dull over time.
Rose Gold – has a nice pink tinge, mixed with other metals.
Silver Rings – these are made of silver as you would expect.

Where to buy?
Budget – How Much Should You Spend On An Engagement Ring?

Each year over Memorial Day weekend, the Desert Rocks Music Festival takes place at the majestic Area BFE, located 10 miles south of Moab. This stellar location for music and camping showcases the breathtaking natural beauty of Utah. The property backs up to the La Sal Mountains and boasts its own slot canyon.
This year, Desert Rocks will again feature two stages of world-class bluegrass, rock, reggae, hip-hop, funk, and folk music. The music is complemented by engaging local entertainment ranging from fire dancing to aerial trapeze ballet. Performances and events begin early each afternoon and continue until close to sunrise. Desert Rocks is a family-friendly festival and children under 12 are free. Festival tickets, parking passes, and VIP passes are available for purchase at www.desertrocks.org.
The artist lineup includes: JGB feat, Melvin Seals, Chali 2na, People Under the Stairs, Hot Buttered Rum (two sets), Great American Taxi, The Motet, Elephant Revival, Moonalice, Juno What?!, MTHDS, Dubskin, Ten Mile Tide, David Gans, Yamn, Wisebird, Stonefed, White Water Ramble, Ulysses, Junior and Transportation, The Pour Horse, Gigi Love, Puddle Mountain Ramblers, The Williams Brothers Band, Marinade, Holy Water Buffalo, Cowboy and Indian, Spell Talk, Zobomaze, Timmi Cruz, Tatanka, Georgelife, fIZZYfORM, Dope Thought, Burnell Washburn, Andrew Wynn, 12BC.
Beyond providing a vibrant lineup of performers, the Desert Rocks Music Festival offers a healthy dose of adventurous activities. The surrounding landscape affords an abundance of outdoor beauty, attracting travelers from across the globe. So be sure and pack your bikes, boots, and bathing suits.
Back again this year are the lovely Sol Weavers--fire dancers and aerial ballerinas. We are thrilled to have The SoLLun (pronounced soul*loon) back on site too. The SoLLun is a portable interactive art, music, and performance exhibit in the guise of an old-fashioned Wild West saloon, playfully blended with elements from Mad Max, Willy Wonka, and our very own Solar Cosmonauts. The SoLLun embodies and manifests the current green trend by being entirely solar and wind powered and mostly made of reclaimed materials. It is the only such exhibit that also travels via 100 percent green technologies--currently a full veggie conversion, with a bio-diesel backup.

Nice shampoo bar
Verified Purchase
Nice shampoo bar
I have hard water ( I've found that to be a big issue with other natural shampoos ) but this one worked fine. I did need a little conditioning afterwards ~ a drop or two of avocado oil was all I needed. I would buy this again.
A bad joke - "Original Formula" with new formula! -_-
Posted by Reviewer2770313 on Oct 13, 2015
This shampoo bar was my "holy grail" for hair care for 2 or 3 years - and I don't use this phrase very often! No need to use conditioners, neither too drying nor too rich. Cared and left the hair really clean. Too much oil left from an overnight oil mask? No problem. To dry caused by whatever? No problem. One bar lasts a really long time - cheaper than any liquid shampoo ever. And I used it daily. This was before J.R. Liggett's decided to change the ingredients of this awesome solid shampoo. How silly is it to change the ingredients original formula and still call it "original"?! I've ordered two bars, the picture and the description hadn't changed - but two bars of the "new old formula" arrived. I thought "Oh, a new packaging" and used it like ever before. But I didn't get the care & it has a different smell than before. At the Liggett's website the new packaging and ingredients are available, here at iherb are still the old ones, so no one knows that the new formula will arrive. -_- The shampoo bar with these new ingredients doesn't clean as good and doesn't care as balanced as the old formula. My hair is a bit too oily and this gets even stronger half a day after washing. My mom was a great fan of the old original formula, too. I gave her the new one to test if it only my hair doesn't like the new formula. She was as afraid as I was. We don't use this new formula soap bar anymore. The manufacturer doesn't reply to a facebook post I wrote some months ago. It's really frustrating! We still haven't found another liquid or solid shampoo bar that works as good as Liggett's old original formula. :-/

Soft skin
Posted by Reviewer1959352 on Jun 09, 2010
Although billed as a shampoo, I find this product great as a soap - keeps skin very soft and moisturised.
Lots of lather
Posted by Reviewer1830999 on Jul 28, 2010
This shampoo bar is AMAZING. Seriously better than a shampoo liquid. I am a convert!
Great shampoo
Posted by Reviewer1416719 on Dec 30, 2009
I never thought a bar of soap could lather and get my hair clean. This product is great and I do not need conditioner.
Bar Soap
Posted by Reviewer1141926 on Jun 24, 2008
Great lather, easy to travel with on plane, last a long time.
much better than mos bottled shampoos
Posted by Reviewer2302029 on Jul 04, 2008
wow, i might never go back to a regular shampoo again. this was great, didn't dry my hair out at all (it's curly) and smelled very natural and nice. if i were to criticize it i would say it takes a little more time to rinse out than regular shampoo, but it's worth a try if you're still looking for a shampoo you really like - it might not be in a bottle.
Best shampoo bar I've tried
Posted by Reviewer1005268 on Nov 05, 2008
My experience with shampoo bars is fairly limited, but I like this one the best. Scent was very nice, and it lathered well. I still used conditioner afterward, though (needed the extra conditioning and detangling). Thumbs up on no animals ingredients or testing.
Wonderful shampoo!
Posted by Reviewer3060686 on Feb 05, 2011
I really like it. Simple to use, lathers exceptionally well, totally non-drying for my fine scsndinavian hair, gentle herbal scent. Only drawback is buildup- but easily remedied by using a clarifying shampoo maybe once a week. Highly recommended, and so cheap! It will last forever too ;o)
not bad, not bad at all
Posted by Reviewer2169688 on Jun 20, 2011
Cleans well but be careful not to get any into your eyes! It burns intensively. After rinsing my hair feels very dry but once it has dried, it doesn't anymore. No conditioner needed with my long thick hair.

National Gallery of Australia acquires major painting by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri
Ron Radford AM, Director of the National Gallery of Australia, announced today that the Gallery was successful at last night's Sotheby's sale in securing Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri's major painting Warlugulong 1977.
It will be a key work for the main Central Desert room in the Gallery's new wing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art which will commence construction next month. Although the Gallery has the largest collection of Aboriginal art in Australia, it lacked a major work by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a pioneering artist in the Papunya Tulamovement. Warlugulong 1977 one of his seminal works is regarded as one of the most important Australian paintings of the 20th century and certainly one of the greatest Western Desert paintings.
Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri 'Warlugulong' 1977
The painting will be acquired as part of the Gallery's 25th Anniversary Gifts program. This fundraising initiative is committed to the purchase of major acquisitions throughout this, the National Gallery of Australia's 25th Anniversary year.
The Director of the National Gallery, Ron Radford, said: "I am excited by the acquisition and now work begins to raise special funds for it. The painting is one of the first large canvases produced by the Western Desert dot painters and is part of a small and very important early canvas series by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri".

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Utah Mine Safety Commission made the following recommendations to Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and the legislature. This is a continuation of those recommendations.
Recommendation: The legislature should direct the labor commission or another appropriate entity to conduct a thorough review of coal mining recertification programs in other states and seriously consider whether Utah should adopt stricter requirements than it has now. The Coal Mine Act provides that the labor commission's certification of competency for any of the foregoing coal mining occupations "shall expire if the certificate holder ceases to work in the mining industry or a mine related industry for more than five consecutive years." Thus, a certified individual who leaves the industry for more than five years must again pass certification requirements before resuming work in an occupation requiring certification. This standard is generally consistent with the requirements of other coal mining states but not all of them. In light of the rapid development of new technology in underground coal mining, especially on safety matters, the Commission urges consideration of a more rigourous recertification standard.
Recommendation: The state should require certification of new coal miners. Utah currently does not require certification of new coal miners. It should. Each miner, whether a veteran or a novice, can affect safety for everyone in the mine. It is critically important that each newly hired miner learn safe mining procedures and understand the importance of safety before entering the mine. The state needs to assure the community that new miners have the necessary safety skills. This certification requirement reinforce the point that employment as a miner is conditioned on safety. Implementation of this requirement will require legislative amendment of Section 40-2-15 of the Utah Coal Mine Act.
Recommendation: The state should strengthen the miner certification panel overseeing coal miner safety testing and certification. The coal miner training and certification program should be strengthened by augmenting the structure and role of the existing miner certification panel within the labor commission. Under the existing statute, the certification panel is comprised entirely of coal miners and managers, and the panel's authority is limited to overseeing the certification process. The certification panel does not include representatives of the institutions that actually train miners, resulting in difficulties in coordinating the training and certification processes. To resolve this problem the commission recommends that representatives of the training institutions, CEU, WETC and perhaps the Department of Mining Engineering should be added as members of the certification panel. Implementation of this requirement will require legislative amendment of Section 40-2-14 of the Utah Coal Mine Act.
Recommendation: The state should strengthen and stabilize the Labor Commission's certification program. This funding is inadequate and uneven. For example, since the Crandall Canyon events, the number of certification examinations has declined by 25 percent. In light of the important role miner certification plays in overall coal mine safety, and the need to augment the membership and role of the miner certification panel, the Commission recommends that the legislature appropriate ongoing general funds sufficient to allow the labor commission to maintain a competent and effective certification program, including a full-time testing and certification coordinator in Price.
WETC and the labor commission should develop strategies in the training and testing and certification programs that address language barriers faced by individuals who wish to work in the Utah mining industry. WETC and the labor commission should investigate how other coal states have addressed this issue.
Recommendation: The state should recognize that the local law enforcement agency is the primary first responder for public safety purposes when an industrial accident occurs in Utah, including a mining accident.
Recommendation: The Office of Coal Mine Safety should be the lead state office in the emergency response to a coal mine accident. It should work to develop a blueprint to guide state government assistance in the rescue and recovery operations following a coal mine accident. The Commission recognizes that the emergency response to coal mine accidents involves a complex system of federal, state and local government agencies, coal operator mine rescue teams, and local community support. The accounts presented to the Commission about the emergency response to the Crandall Canyon disaster were favorable in terms of state and local government support. The leadership provided by Gov. Huntsman and Sheriff LaMar Guymon was singled out for commendation. However, in his appearance before the Commission, Gov. Huntsman indicated that the state response was based largely on ad hoc decision making and that coordination and communications involving MSHA and the mine operator were deficient. The governor called for development of a "blueprint" to guide state and local government in any future critical incidents and the Commission agrees.
Recommendation: The state should adopt a legal requirement for mine operators to notify the Office of Coal Mine Safety immediately when a mine emergency situation occurs. The Office of Coal Mine Safety should collaborate with the mine operators and MSHA to develop the procedures for a rapid notification system.
Recommendation: The Division of Homeland Security should work with the Office of Coal Mine Safety, appropriate state agencies, and local government officials to develop a mine accident emergency response plan for state government using the incident management model and the state emergency operations plan. The plan should provide the guidance the governor has requested and the flexibility needed for the variety and uncertainty of circumstances that could be faced. The elements of the plan should include assistance to local law enforcement, assistance with mine rescue equipment and resources, telecommunications services, equipment and personnel transport, and state workforce and human services resources. Formulation of the plan should take account of all the state agencies and personnel involved in the Crandall Canyon response and should inventory all of the potential state government support that might be helpful in a mine accident emergency. The plan should identify the Office of Coal Mine safety in cooperation within local law enforcement authority, as the responsible on-site agency for requesting emergency assistance from the Division of Homeland Security. The coal operators should be consulted to determine how the state can assist in implementation of their emergency response plans. A current effort in the state of New Mexico may provide a useful model in developing this plan.
The state should establish a Mine Safety Emergency Response Center at WETC near Helper to facilitate emergency response training and to house specialized emergency response equipment, such as jet engine fire suppression, gas chromatography, and special tunneling equipment. The center would serve underground coal mines in Utah and possibly Wyoming and Colorado and could ultimately serve other mining operations in the Intermountain West.
It would provide classroom and field space for advanced emergency response training for industry stakeholders, including executive management, training for community and agency support networks for the mining industry, and specialized safety and rescue equipment that could be used by all participating mines. The center would be integrated with the WETC training program and would concentrate on mining disaster prevention, emergency preparedness, and emergency response and rescue.
Recommendation: The Office of Coal Mine Safety should consult with Utah coal operators to determine whether the state could assist in strengthening mine rescue team capacity. Subjects for consideration would include whether the state should provide emergency medical technical training for team members EMT personnel as members of the team, facilitate mine rescue simulations and competitions and deliver communication technology and coordination for mine rescue operations.
Recommendation: The Office of Coal Mine Safety should represent Utah State government at the incident command center for any Utah mine disaster. The officials should be prepared to assist with information management, decision making, and coordination for state government logistical support during the emergency rescue and response period.
Recommendation: The state should work with MSHA and the coal operators to develop a clear set of protocols for timely and accurate communications with the families of mine victims and with the press and public in the context of a Utah coal mine accident. The families of the Crandall Canyon victims and the media should be invited to provide comment and suggestions on these protocols. The provision of information to the families of the trapped miners and rescuers as well as to the press and public during the Crandall Canyon events has been criticized for lack of timeliness, consistency, coordination, and leadership. MSHA is designated under current law to take the lead in this area, but that responsibility was performed unevenly at Crandall Canyon, at least in part due to the conduct of the owner of the coal company. Under these challenging conditions, it is important that all parties understand and follow their roles. The families in particular are entitled to the best available information provided with professionalism, accuracy, and respect.
Recommendation: The state should work closely with MSHA and local community leaders to develop a comprehensive support plan for families of mine accident victims. Although MSHA currently takes the lead in this area under federal law, it was clear from the Crandall Canyon experience and other mine accidents that local communities and local responders play key roles and should continue to do so based on their knowledge of their own communities. Pending federal legislative proposals call for adoption of a family support model similar to the National Safety Transportation Safety Board system, which is considered the strongest federal model. Although this step may be an improvement, state and local officials should insist that plans and understandings be reached in advance to preserve the role of the local community in providing support to families of mine accident victims.
Recommendation: The state should join with other coal states in urging Congress to consider a mine accident investigation system that operates independently of MSHA. Conducting the accident investigation outside the agency would assure families of victims, their communities and the public that the investigation is conducted in a thorough and impartial manner.
This recommendation is presented as a principle of good government and takes as its model the investigation of aviation accidents by the National Transportation Safety Board rather than the Federal Aviation Administration. It should not be construed as a reflection on the professionalism or competence of the MSHA investigation of the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster.
