The COPS Homeland Security Overtime Program (HSOP) was designed to supplement grantee agencies' state or locally funded officer overtime budgets, thereby increasing the amount of overtime funding available to support community policing and homeland security efforts. HSOP offers state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies the opportunity to supplement their officer overtime budgets for a period of one year.
HSOP grants can be used to pay officer overtime during homeland security training sessions and other law enforcement activities that are designed to help prevent acts of terrorism and other violent or drug-related crimes. HSOP funds may support the overtime efforts of non-supervisory, sworn personnel such as intelligence officers, crime analysts, undercover officers, and others who work on homeland security or terrorism task forces.
Departments receiving HSOP awards are required to contribute at least 25 percent in local matching funds. HSOP grants may only be used for non-supervisory, sworn personnel and may not be applied towards civilian or reserve officer costs. In addition, HSOP grants cannot be used to reimburse agencies for past overtime expenditures, and agencies cannot rely on the availability of HSOP funding to reduce the amount of state or local funds budgeted for officer overtime in their current or future budget cycles.
The COPS HSOP announcement took place in September 2003, awarding approximately $60 million to a total of 294 agencies in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

Introductionforestry, the management of forest lands for wood, water, wildlife, forage, and recreation. Because the major economic importance of the forest lies in wood and wood products, forestry has been chiefly concerned with timber management, especially reforestation, maintenance of the extant forest stands at prime condition, and fire control. Silviculture is the name usually given to this manipulation of the forest for human purposes.

Hands On: BlackBerry Curve 9350/9360
Article Comments 1
Sep 14, 2011, 11:25 PM by Eric Zeman @phonescooper
updated Sep 15, 2011, 8:13 AM
Updated: cleaned up text
The latest version of the BlackBerry Curve is the smallest yet, but offers many of the same features found on its bigger BlackBerry brothers.
AD article continues below...
The latest version of the BlackBerry Curve is noticeably slimmer and smaller than its predecessors. It has shed weight and size, and is a very compact smartphone.
As with other Curves, it is smaller the the Bold or Torch series, and that means a more pocketable BlackBerry. It has steeply rounded edges and rests in the hand comfortably. Materials are definitely on the cheaper side, and it lacks the spit and polish of the Bold models.
The latest Curve has a central button on top that acts to silence it and lock the screen. Since it is in the middle, it is easy to find. The volume controls are on the left side and worked well.
The navigation cluster includes the now-standard trackpad (which worked well) and the usual set of send/end, and BlackBerry/Back keys. These are all you need to access most of the Curve's features and functions. They all had good travel and feedback, and I found them to be easy to find and use.
The QWERTY keyboard, while decent, is nowhere near as good as that of the Bold 9900/9930. The keys are smaller, separated more, and have less travel and feedback. I'm not saying the keyboard is bad, it's just not as good as the excellent keyboard on the newest Bolds.
The Curve runs the latest BlackBerry 7 operating system. It felt just as snappy on the Curve as it does on the Bold and Torch, but it definitely loses something without having the touch screen. After using a handful of touch-based Blackberries in recent weeks, I found my thumb wandering up to the screen to perform different actions — all to no avail. The screen is also much smaller, which means less room for reading emails and browsing the web.
The latest BlackBerry Curve is certainly a decent little smartphone, but I see it more as a stepped-up messaging device more than I do a smartphone. Power users may want to stick with the Bold or Torch.

You have been thinking about the draft since before the season started.
You think Ryan Fitzpatrick is the long term answer at quarterback.
You aren't sure about Fitzpatrick in large part because you have been burned falling for any one of the flame-out QBs the Bills have started in the past decade.
You think it doesn't matter how good the quarterback is if the offensive line doesn't protect him.
You know the draft order tiebreakers don't favor the Bills.
You watch the scores on the ticker looking not for the Bills divisional rivals but rather Carolina, Detroit and other 1st pick contenders.
You would like to see what Brian Brohm and Levi Brown can do before the Bills pick another quarterback.
You are convinced that the Bills are getting better because watching the games doesn't make you want to catch a wolverine and keep it as a pet.
You think if the Bills ended up with the 1st pick this April that rather than come play here, Andrew Luck would climb a mountain in the Himalayas and never come down. Until the Bills traded the pick so he could play anywhere but here.
You think the Bills 1st pick would be better spent on a defensive hell raiser.
You are encouraged by the development of the Bills passing game under Chan Gailey.
Monday through Saturday you think about the draft pick but on Sunday you just want to watch your team win.
You have found yourself trying really hard to believe in quarterbacks other than Luck in the draft.
You wish the Bills had made a move on Michael Vick when he got out of prison.
You think the long range health of the franchise depends on the Bills getting a new franchise quarterback so they can start winning and decrease the likelihood of the team being sold out from under us.
You think Fitzpatrick is a gun slinger.
You really hope the team never leaves.
Surely there are some omissions there. Perhaps the statements above describe your feelings on the Bills in 2010. A few of them describe mine; others not so much. Here's the point. We're all Bills fans. It seems possible to me that over the course of the past mind numbing decade we have grown so bored with the losing and the ineptitude of the franchise that we have taken to kicking the crap out of one another. Look, I love a good disagreement and I deal in the business of public discourse. But this is getting ridiculous.
The theme of this season at this point seems to be they have gotten better at losing. Seriously, boil it down and that is what we're talking about. Can we do better than that?
My opinion about how to go about accomplishing that has not changed since the summer. The Bills need a franchise saving, game changing, canal digging, bridge building, skyway wrecking super hero.
Or, you know, a quarterback like Andrew Luck.

American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee Collection, 1946-ongoing
KC Manuscript Collection 247
Title: American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee Collection, 1946-ongoing
Collection Number:Kingsport Community Manuscript Collection (KCMC) 247
Physical Description: 15 boxes
Creator: American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee-Kingsport Chapter
Repository: Archives of the City of Kingsport
Provenance: The American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee donated this collection in June 2007.
Access/Restrictions: There are no restrictions on use of this collection for research purposes. The researcher assumes full responsibility for observing all copyright, property, and libel laws as they apply.
Processed By:
Processing and development of the finding aid was done by archives staff prior to December 2007. Reprocessing and revisions to the finding aid were done by Brianne Johnson in March 2008.
Collection Citation: This collection should be cited as…
American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee. Collection, 1946-Ongoing. KC Manuscript Collection 247, Archives of the City of Kingsport, Tennessee.
"On June 1917, a group of Sullivan County citizens came together to organize and request a charter for a Red Cross Chapter in Kingsport. This charter was granted on July 11, 1917. At that time, the Board elected J. Fred Johnson Chapter Chairman. Other officers were Mrs. J.W. Dobyns, Vice Chairman; A. D. Brockman, Treasurer; Dora W. Stone, Secretary; William Roller, R. J. Hazel, William R. Pouder, T.B. Yancy, W.M. Bennett, R. B. Embree, M. B. Cainblos, and R.C. Johnson were members at large. Records show that the chapter sent supplies to be used in hospitals during the war years and fabric for use in aid to refugees. Few records are available for these early years, however, we know that Frank Cloud was Chairman from 1918-1942.
In 1944, A Red Cross room was opened at the bus station for service men to use when passing through town; this was a joint effort between the Red Cross and the American Legion. Clothing was provided for disaster victims in Hawkins County and Red Cross nurses' aids were trained at Holston Valley Hospital.
During World War II, the chapter was involved in the War Fund Drive and Junior Red Cross in the schools. Cooking classes were held for war brides. Many messages were sent to servicemen and their families during the war years.
Disaster assistance has always been given to local residents when disasters occurred on a local scale, i.e. tornadoes, floods, fires, etc. In 1977, when the Appalachian floods occurred in Southwest Virginia, the Chapter was alive with Red Cross paid and volunteer staff from across the county as over $10 million was spent to aid the disaster victims in our neighboring counties. Our Chapter was the first in the area to donate their quota towards the $10 million goal. Tom Goodwin, Chapter Chairman presented a check for $24,056 from the Kingsport Chest to the American Red Cross to fulfill the Kingsport Chapter quota. Many volunteers from our Chapter assisted in the Southwest Virginia counties during the flooding. Today, our disaster trained volunteers continue to assist at home and across the county when requested.
Since 1989 we have had a National Emergency Response Vehicle located in our Chapter, the only one between Knoxville and Roanoke. Volunteers take it to disasters near and far on 24 hours or less notice.
The Chapter House on Wilcox Drive has been upgraded to meet the growing needs of the Chapter. In 1988 it was remodeled to include the entire building. A computer network was added in 1992. The basement was paved and turned into a disaster response area in 1995."
Information obtained from http://www.redcrossnetn.org/index.php?page=history and written by Winnie McMahon and Jane Harris.
The American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee collection consists primarily of scrapbooks and uniforms. Scrapbooks were compiled starting in 1946 and run through 2007. These books contain photographs, clippings, programs, correspondence, newsletters, reports, and miscellaneous items. Uniforms consist of a variety of styles and include a few hats. In addition, there are a couple of records and some certificates. Materials are arranged chronologically and by item type. Based in Kingsport, Tennessee, the American Red Cross of Northeast Tennessee serves the counties of Carter, Claiborne, Hawkins, Hancock, Johnson, Unicoi, Washington, and western Sullivan County.

I came to the United States in 2004, met my husband and married in 2005. I was overwhelmed with so many new things: obtaining my residence status, learning to navigate using the bus system, and adapting myself to a different culture and language. Meanwhile, I was sending my resume to various institutions. I taught Spanish and worked as a tour guide in my homeland before relocating to the US. Through a contact I met Deborah Kinley, Career Resources Center Manager, who told me about the free Noncredit courses offered at the Garfield Campus. In addition, I spoke with Elodia Collins, Academic Counselor, for guidance on classes that would expand my job opportunities. I enrolled in a number of computer classes, but I was still unsure on how and where to look for a job. Finally, a classmate told me to take the course called "21st Century Employment Strategies." He told me that class and instructor, Cindy Pollack, were marvelous. I felt I finally was on the right path. During this course I was able to make an accurate and updated resume—no wonder my previous applications for teacher positions were not answered!!
I followed Cindy's teachings to the letter—every little detail she taught: from how to dress, what to say and what not to say in an interview to writing a cover letter and a thank you note--and it worked. Upon completion of this course, and a subsequent interview, I found a position almost immediately.
I am very thankful to Glendale Community College and all of the people who helped me in the process of getting the tools in order to reach my goals.

The Three-Pass Regression Filter: A New Approach to Forecasting Using Many Predictors
Bryan T. Kelly
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Seth Pruitt
Arizona State University (ASU) - Finance Department
May 2014
Fama-Miller Working Paper
Chicago Booth Research Paper No. 11-19
We forecast a single time series using many predictor variables with a new estimator called the three-pass regression filter (3PRF). It is calculated in closed form and conveniently represented as a set of ordinary least squares regressions. 3PRF forecasts converge to the infeasible best forecast when both the time dimension and cross section dimension become large. This requires only specifying the number of relevant factors driving the forecast target, regardless of the total number of common (and potentially irrelevant) factors driving the cross section of predictors. We derive inferential theory in the form of limiting distributions for estimated relevant factors, predictive coefficients and forecasts, and provide consistent standard error estimators. We explore two empirical applications that exemplify the many predictor problem: Forecasting macroeconomic aggregates with a large panel of economic indices, and forecasting stock market aggregates with many individual assets' price-dividend ratios. These, combined with a range of Monte Carlo experiments, demonstrate the 3PRF's forecasting power.

They are all so cute! I'd say it's a tie between the scales and stripes.ReplyDelete
Fun! I would win for one of my many preggy friends! The birds or flowers are super cute!ReplyDelete
Adorable! I think the Birds and probably the Magenta are my favorites!ReplyDelete
I like the elephants or brown seat cover.ReplyDelete
I'd love the Sea Critters!ReplyDelete
jenna at loveofbabyonline dot com
My heart says leopard but since it would be for a friend i think the owls would be a bit more appropriate. We used our pink bumbo for both girlies and LOVED it. First meals for both were in that bumbo. (And we always used it on raised surfaces..naughty! LOL)ReplyDelete
I'd have to go with the scales or stripes - I think those are the most gender neutral but still fun! It's a little frustrating not knowing what baby#2 is going to be ;)ReplyDelete
My favorite is definitely the Birds :) How cute! And the purple and green go perfectly with my baby girl's nursery :) a(dot)belleque(at)live(dot)comReplyDelete
Oh my, they're all so adorable! I like the Purple Twill (and the one you reviewed)ReplyDelete

Smells good
Verified Purchase
Smells good
Smells good and good for a relaxing aromatherapy bath or foot soak.
One of my faves
Posted by Reviewer2274198 on Sep 29, 2011
The Euphoria blend is one of my all-time favorites from Aura Cacia. I buy the individual bath sizes because I like to switch around, and they are very reasonably priced. I also find their scents to be much longer lasting, leaving a delicate scent on your skin after a bath (especially compared to the much overrated, IMHO, Zum brand.

Boston, Mass.
Boston is the state capital, the seat of Suffolk County, and the largest city in Massachusetts. It is located in the eastern part of the state on Massachusetts Bay. It was incorporated as a city in 1822. No city in the U.S. is richer in historical associations than Boston, and no city has retained more of its original buildings as memorials to America's past.
The first European settler was Rev. William Blackstone, who arrived in 1623, just three years after the Pilgrims had landed at Plymouth in 1620. He was joined by Puritans from England in 1630. They named their new town Boston, after the former home of many of them in Lincolnshire, England. Fourteen years later, the pioneer Bostonians set aside the first public park in the U.S.—the Boston Common. The following year, 1635, they opened the first free public school in America. Today, the Boston area is home to 68 colleges and universities.
Boston is a major industrial, financial, and educational hub and has one of the finest ports in the world. The city's banking and financial services, insurance, and real estate sectors continue to drive Boston's economy. Boston is also a leading city in health care, with 25 inpatient hospitals and numerous community health centers. The city's unique cultural and historic heritage makes it a center of tourism, and its hotel industry ranks among the highest in the nation in occupancy. Boston's other businesses are in high technology, biotechnology, software, and electronics.
The city's tourist attractions include Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the JFK Library and Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the New England Aquarium, the USS Constitution, and many historic buildings and neighborhoods.
Boston is the site of the oldest and most prestigious annual marathon in the world. The Boston Marathon attracts more than one million spectators and usually 25,000 runners, a far cry from the 15 runners that took to the course for the inaugural race in 1897. In 2013, two bombs exploded near the finish line of the race. Three people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy, and more than 260 people were injured.

Virgin Australia Welcomes Darwin International Airport Expansion30/04/2013
Virgin Australia today welcomed the announcement that Darwin International Airport will be investing $60 million in new and upgraded facilities.
The investment will transform the experience for passengers travelling through the airport as the Virgin Australia check-in area moves to a new part of the terminal with streamlined security processing. Work is expected to be completed by mid-2014.
Virgin Australia's Chief Operating Officer Sean Donohue said, "Over the past two years, Virgin Australia has been expanding its presence in the Northern Territory and making enhancements to improve the travel experience for our customers.
"We recognise the increasing importance of Darwin in line with the growth of the Northern Territory as a business and tourism destination. To date we have launched Sydney-Darwin flights, commenced codeshare on SilkAir international flights from Darwin and announced a new 150-seat airport lounge to be launched in 2014. With the recent acquisition of Skywest Airlines, Virgin Australia will now fly direct from Darwin to Broome and Kununurra.
"We are pleased to announce today that as part of the airport upgrade, we will be able to deliver a more seamless arrival and departure experience for our guests through enhanced check-in and gate facilities. The new lounge will feature Virgin Australia's trademark style, including luxury seating, gourmet food and beverage designed by internationally-acclaimed chef Luke Mangan and impressive views across the airport landscape.
"We look forward to working closely with Darwin International Airport to ensure the best possible experience for our customers and to continue to promote Darwin as a business and tourism destination", Mr Donohue said.
Virgin Australia currently flies direct to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth from the Northern Territory, offering 58 services per week to connect to 30 domestic and over 400 international cities.
The airline also codeshares on SilkAir's 4 return flights per week between Singapore and Darwin. SilkAir is the regional airline of Singapore Airlines.

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
EAC streams a live webcast for all public meetings, which are archived and available for viewing 24-hours a day in our webcast archive.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.
Note: If you wish to vote absentee and are a uniformed service member or family member or a citizen living outside the U.S., contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program to register to vote.
Share your feedback on EAC policy proposals, Election Resource Library materials, and OpenEAC activities. Give feedback on general issues, including the Web site, through our Contact Us page.
EAC has several projects under way to assist states in serving military and overseas citizens who register and vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. Learn more
EAC/NIST Sponsored Webinar: " Accessibility & the PCEA report: Thoughts and Perspectives on AVTI Research"
The EAC and the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) are hosting two Accessible Voting Technology Initiative (AVTI) webinars in May and June 2014. As a follow-up to the AVT webinars held in January 2014, these webinars are intended to share the results of the AVTI research that can be used to improve elections and the voting process, and to initiate discussions on accessibility in voting.
This webinar will be held Thursday, May 22nd, from 1:30 – 3:00 PM, and will focus on accessibility addressed in the Presidential Commission on Election Administration (PCEA) report, the impact of AVTI research on their findings, and applying AVT research results to the upcoming 2014 election.
To register for this webinar, please visit https://cc.readytalk.com/r/rxgtmfyz9t85&eom.
Election officials are especially encouraged to attend. Manufacturers, researchers, accessibility advocates, and the general public are also welcome to attend and participate in the discussions. You can also view more information about the June 20 webinar. To view the archived webinar for the previous AVT webinars, visit the AVT portal at http://www.nist.gov/itl/vote/accessiblevoting/avt-webinars.cfm.
Questions about the webinars can be sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. To join the accessible voting technology email list, send your contact information to email@example.com.
BACKGROUND: In FY 2009 and FY 2010, Congress provided funds to the EAC to develop a research program to continue to support accessible voting technology. In September 2010, EAC awarded a $500,000 grant for the Military Heroes Initiative to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF). Read more about it here. In 2011, EAC awarded $7,000,000 to support research on technologies and approaches to meet the challenge of making voting accessible for all eligible voters. Grants were awarded to ITIF and Clemson University. ITIF funded numerous projects to improve accessible election technology. The Election Center, on behalf of Clemson University, conducted four RAAV training sessionsin 2012 to receive input on the issue of voting accessibility. For more information, see the 2010 Accessible Voting Technology Initiative.

Awesome!!When i first tried the CHI i was at my friends house and was doubting it because of how small in size it was... but after i tried it i never wanted to use anything else ever again!... before the CHI i was trying everything to make my hair straight (i have wavy frizzy hair).. i used 2 hair straightners and defrizzing and straightening shampoo and conditioner everyday followed many products designed to straighten your hair... and then i would spend at least an hour useing my two flat irons... and still my hair was not perfectly straight and it would frizz and girl from humidity almost immediatly when i walked outside... but now that i own my own CHI.. there is no need for all that work i can simply dry my hair and straighten it in less than 15 minutes!!! the CHI is worth every last penny!Aug 7, 2004Ashley

Love My ChiI have owned mine for 2 years and it has worked fine for me. I use it everyday - I have naturally curly hair. I have had the Japanese straightener and use it for touch ups. I just dropped mine for the first time and need to replace it - but other than that it works like charm.Aug 6, 2004T Albert / California

Best I've Ever Seen!!!My friend has a chi, and i knew i wanted one the first time I ever used it. Ive used hers twice, and WOW, the results amaze me. Im 14 years old and have very coarse, wavy, layered hair, and trust me, I have a TON of hair. It only took me 20 min to have it perfect, my bybliss takes me an hour. I HIGHLY recommend this product! It is a bit pricey, but perhaps u can get it for X-Mas?!?Jul 27, 2004Brittany, Age 14 / Texas

Wow!This is amazing! I dont have one but i used my friends. My hair is pretty fine, but it is layered and always looks horrible. I have one of those 20 dollar conair ones and i thought that did the job. This straightner took literally 1 minute and my hair looked the best i have ever seen it in my life. My friend has the curliest, frisiest hair i have ever seen and hers gets perfectly staright from this! I HIGHLY recommend it!Mar 21, 2004A Customer

Traders who lined up their short-term volatility hedges last week must be disappointed. Exchange-traded funds and notes tied to volatility are falling pretty steeply Monday, and that's after a surprisingly big drop on Friday.
Friday's 8.8% drop in the CBOE Volatility Index was unusually large given the relatively modest 0.5% rise in the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index (SPY, IVV). In fact, it was the fourth-biggest decline in seventeen years if you limit your sample to ten basis points on either side of Friday's rise in the S&P 500, notes MKM Partners' Jim Strugger.
The Barclays iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) is down 6.2% this morning, sending its two-day loss north of 10%. The leveraged ProShares Ultra VIX Short- Term Futures exchange-traded fund (UVXY) is down more than 12%, putting the fund on track for a 20% two-day loss.

We arrived in Nice, took a bus from the airport to Magnan bus stop (in front of the aparthotel) near Av. Californie as Salvatore advised us to do.
We have been welcomed by Salvatore's workmate Stefan, who showed us the apartment. The studio was ok, very clean and near the beach as Salvatore mentions on description. Swimming pool is basic but very clean and not crowded. There was a few issues like; there wasn't enough toilet paper, washing up liquid, sponge in the apartment so we bought some more at Casino supermarket which is 3 minutes walk from the apartment. Cooker didn't work as expected. There was a good coffee machine, kettle, toaster, microwave, cutlery, cups, plates and bowls etc... All clean and well organised. There was no bottle opener so the nice people at the reception arranged one for us. There was one sofa bed and one pull out bet. They are ok but a bit weak. Linen was provided which was very clean and well packed just like new. Wifi internet is fast and works 24h/day perfectly. There are restaurants, patisseries, supermarkets, pharmacies, pizza, breakfast, sandwich shops very near the aparhotel (5 minutes walk or less). Suitable for couple/small family. I would come back and I recommend this studio flat.
Lovely we'll equipped studio in a quiet,well looked after appartment block.Finding the appartment was easy.I took the bus from the airport and 10 mins later it stoppen outside the appartment.I was met by Salvatore's cousin who gave me helpfull tips for my days in Nice.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay,just 2 mins from the beach,and although walking to the centre takes About 20 mins,the buses run regually to the old town,centre and the train station.
The swimmingpool was great after sightseeing and shopping,although not as large as on the Photo ,it never seemed to be too Busy .
I especially appreciated the flexible departure time,and the fact that i had somewhere to Leave my luggage .i would recomended this studio for 2 people and Will definately return.
Logement tres bien situe car tout pres de la mer et aussi tres bien pour tout genre de transports. Pour l apt tres petit pour trois adultes le divan lit et le demi lit pas confortables trop durs. La vaisselle etait toute poussiereuse et la laveuse a linge ne fonctionnait pas et Salvatore devait venir voir et on ne l a jamais vu. La personne qui nous a recu le premier jour je crois qu il se nomme Alexandre a ete tres courtois et nous a donne plusieurs informations pertinantes pour notre sejour.

Nice studio near the beach and Promenade. Salvatore and his friend were friendly. Everything was the same like in add.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very nice apartment, practically furnished. Salvatore is very kind and helpful. :)
We`ve visited Nice for the EM2016 - the Flat was very modern, central and close to the sea/beach. also supermarket, bakery, restaurants and a club are not far!
Salvatore is also very friendly and help where he can.
Only "bad" thing - parking is very very difficult. :)
Great appartment & organization of our host!
very nice place close to everywhere I recommend
This is a lovely apartment, conveniently located in Nice. Salvatore was very helpful throughout the booking process and even offers a collection service from the airport direct to the apartment which also served as the check-in process. Despite our flights arriving earlier than check-in time, we were able to access the apartment earlier which we really appreciated. The apartment was clean and well-furnished. The only issue we had was the building works in the building, which started very early each day, but this is no fault of Salvatore or the team. Would be very happy to recommend. Slept 6 of us very comfortably.

This mat is best for people with varied practices as well as those who may have minor aches and pains �-- the 5 mm tpECOmat keeps up with your most active yoga and cushions your most temperamental joints!
Like every mat in our tpECOmat collection, the 5mm features two-color mats (one color per side) so it's like having two mats in one! You can match your mat to your mood or to the energy level of your practice for the day.

excellent product/worth the price
This is a perfect yoga mat for at home and travel. The mat is light weight, but not too thin. I recommend this mat with a 5 star. -- D. Grgach
A perfect mat for home use or anywhere use! Lightweight, affordable, a slam dunk! -- Yvonne V
Awesome Mat
I have had a problem with slipping on mats in several yoga classes, but since I have had this mat I have not had a problem, even in Bikram!! The mat is a perfect length and I love how I can turn the mat over and have a different color if I so desire, all around a fantastic yoga mat!! -- Kendra N
Great Product
This mat is perfect! It's a little thicker than most yoga mats so it's a more forgiving during workouts as well as a little longer so you dont run out of room. And each side has a different texture: one side zigzags and the other a cool oak leaf type of pattern. It's lightweight, easy to take along with you on a bike ride or stow in the car. It cleans really easily: Soak in the tub with mild soap, rinse and hang to dry. And it dries pretty quickly too. Overall, great product! -- Jennifer Hathaway
What a great mat!
I have had my tpECOmat Plus for over a year and it's still like new! It has a nice grip to it that makes some of the more difficult poses much easier! I love having 2 different colors in one mat, sometimes I want a calm feeling and sometimes I want to feel invigorated and with 2 colors there is always a side for how I'm feeling that day. All in all a great, fun and well preforming mat!! -- Mandy Aureli
Great Mat
I have owned two tpECOmat Plus over the past several years, and now I would never use another mat. Kulae is the best! -- Christina
Invest in a mat that keeps on giving
I shopped around for days until I ran into the tpECOmat plus. The vibrant color was what caught my eye but it was the soft yet durable feeling of the material that won me over. I've had my mat for a little over 6 months now and it's still as amazing as the day I bought it. Very durable, easy to clean, and don't even get me started on the comfort. I have a bad knee but the mat is so spongy and cushioned that I do not feel the hard floor underneath at all. The back side is slip resistant which really comes in handy when things get sweaty, you don't want the corners rolling up. Love this mat and all it has to offer, a solid buy that will last, I strongly recommend it to everyone. -- Cassandra Serna

Daily Advantage and Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength Kit (1-month supply)
Item# YAE10
Save 10% Plus Get FREE Shipping on Today's Order with AutoDelivery! What is AutoDelivery?
10 billion probiotics for extra-strength digestive relief
Sometimes you need more than a regular probiotic for chronic digestive issues. I developed Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength® so it contains 10 billion healthy, live bacteria in the 10 most powerful strains for advanced relief.
Unlike many probiotics which are killed by stomach acid, the patented BIO-tract® delivery system in Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength keeps the delicate probiotic bacteria intact and safely releases them along both your small and large intestines to guarantee all day relief. The live bacteria help you better digest and absorb the nutrients in your food as well as your multi-nutrient.
Probiotic Advantage Extra Strength also contains Actazin™, a powerful green kiwi extract from New Zealand—which contains prebiotics, enzymes, and insoluble fiber. All of these "digestive boosters" work together to strengthen the probiotics—to give you advanced support for healthy digestion and improved regularity.
Build a foundation of greater energy and vitality that you can feel
Daily Advantage® gives you the specific vitamins and minerals you need to stay young, especially if you're over 50, in four powerful complexes:
Essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants: Get strong head-to-toe support with the hardest working essential nutrients that nourish every cell and system in your body.
- Advanced Phytonutrient Shield™—Nature's most concentrated powerhouse of antioxidants gives your whole body unparalleled protection against free-radical damage.
- Herbal Superfoods Energizer™: Greatly boost your energy and vitality with powerful superfoods and phytonutrients.
- Omega-3 Complex: Nourish your heart, brain, joints, and skin with critical omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Contains: Fish (sardines, anchovies)
Daily Advantage helps to:
- Give you complete head-to-toe nutritional support
- Rejuvenate your entire body
- Promote peak immune, gastrointestinal, and urinary tract health
- Promote normal blood pressure levels
Healthy, live probiotics, along with enzymes and fiber help you digest and absorb the nutrients in your food and your Daily Advantage multi-nutrient, too.

I was carrying my baby in a wrap since he was ~2month... he's now 7months. I usually have him on me when I do chores or run errands... so I would say about 4-5hrs a day average. He's now crawling and likes to move about... and I find that he kicks a lot in the wrap wanting to go off to explore... I guess that makes him happy (crawling around)... but I find it hard to cook supper AND look after him. At the same time, I feel bad tying him up on my back when he wants to go about on the floor. Anyone have the same probs? What creative ways have you come up with to tackle this?
No announcement yet.
carry or crawl?

I have found that with babies and young children, I really need to cut back on my expectations for what I ought to be able to accomplish in a day. It helps if I remind myself that my JOB is to take care of the kids. Anything else I happen to get done is a bonus.
Dinner doesn't usually get cooked around here until my husband comes home from work, when one of us can watch the kids and the other can cook. I'm sure that'll change in another six months or so, when I would hope that my younger child will have enough impulse control to make cooking with him in the learning tower less frustrating.
If it's important to you to continue to do things like cook dinner while you're also supervising your baby, I'd suggest making sure the space you're in is as baby-proofed as possible, so he can explore in reasonable safety while you work. If that level of babyproofing isn't possible, you might consider investing in a Superyard (or similar item), so you could temporarily erect a confined, safe space for him to play in.
You might also try reorganizing your tasks. I find that cooking, for example, can be more manageable if it's broken up into 10-minute chunks throughout the day. A crock pot works really well for this, but you can also just do prep work as you have time, so everything is in the fridge and ready to be combined into the finished product at the right time.

API Leader planning to establish Show-Me API: Jefferson City (Missouri)
My 8-month old is very mobile, too, and I can relate to trying to cook and keep up with a little one. I have retired the wrap and now have him in the sling. He likes being on my hip/back (behind my arm) as I cook. He peers around to see what I'm doing. I also make sure he has something in his hands to play with--measuring spoons, plastic spice container, wooden spoon, whatever he might like that is handy. He watches everything and seems to momentarily forget his desire to be mobile.
That's what we do. HTH!
My 8 month old is not only crawling but now pulling himself up and cruising the furniture! Its virtually impossible to get too much done during the day at the moment. He will happily be in the wrap/sling for about 15min before he is struggling and whining to get out (unless we are out at the shops or something)! Its great that he is so confident and comfortable to explore on his own but as you say it does make it harder. My life saver is a wonderful husband who takes on more than his fair share since he is working all day as well. I guess we have just got the the point where the house work is secondary, as long as the floor is clean enough so that he isnt picking up bits of fluff and dirt everywhere and the kitchen and bathroom are kept under as much control as possible then we are happy. It looks like a bomb in this house at times and I know that my mother is certain we are a bunch of hippies! It will get easier as they get more independent!
Gosh, I'm just starting to go through this too. Thats what is so wonderful about this forum She isn't crawling yet, but she much prefers sitting and playing to being in her sling, and she wants me down there with her too. I've gone from really keeping up with the housework to barely getting anything done. I'm lucky somedays if I even get to have a shower. And what's worse, she won't let anyone else hold her, not even her dad.
I just keep saying, ''its just a phase, its just a phase''.
It helps knowing that im not alone.

Brandy, attached mama to two kiddos: Elijah, born Dec. 2006 and Eden, born Jan. 2010
When my son was that age, and I really wanted to cook dinner--I would make sure to be as active as possible when he was in the sling to keep him happy. I'd hand him something while he was on my back (measuring spoon, ladle, etc.) and add an ingredient or two and then walk quickly to the other end of the house and do something there--or walk in and out of the house. And I sang to him, told him elaborate stories, etc.
If I couldn't keep him happy, I would just put dinner on hold and wait until my husband came home.
I really love that prep work idea and I think I'm going to use it I hadn't even thought of doing just a few minutes here and there, I think that could really help
Also, another thing I do is cook big meals that could feed us several times over, every time I cook a meal. After dinner (or sometimes before to keep us from eating too much), I put them into individual servings and freeze (because you can always pile a few together if you want a family meal again). This way you can have leftovers 2 weeks from now when it feels new again... and much less cooking!

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
After winning convincingly in St. George the week before, the Emery High Lady Spartan softball team came home and romped to another victory, this time over North Sevier 13-1. Emery took the first inning lead of 3-0 and never looked back.
To top off this win, in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Spartans leading 9-1 and needing two runs to end the game with the 10-run rule, freshman Markette Tanner took a 1-0 pitch deep over the left-center field fence for a grand-slam homerun to end the game.
In that first inning, Adriane Weihing and Chelsea Skinner walked, Leslee Lake hit into a fielder's choice and Bailey Kay then doubled to centerfield to score Adriane and Leslee. Kay would later score on a wild pitch.
Emery then had a big third inning. Chelsea walked and Leslee doubled to get the inning started off right. After Bailey flew out to center field to score a run, Candice Norton got on base due a third baseman error. Whitney Allen singled to left field to score another run. After a Tanner walk, Jalee Jensen and Adriane both singled. All but Adriane would score as aggressive base running kept North Sevier off balance throughout the game. Chelsea flew out to right field to end the inning. Emery now led 9-0.
North Sevier scored their lone run in the top of the fifth inning. The lead off batter singled, a bunt sent her to second base and she would later score on another single. Leslee Lake was on the mound again for Emery and gave up only five hits in the six-inning game. Leslee struck out five batters and walked none.
North Sevier's only other threat came in the second inning when four Wolves got on base but the first was thrown out at the plate by outfielder Bailey Kay and then Leslee struck out the last batter with the bases loaded to end the inning.
In the bottom of the sixth inning before Tanner would hit her homerun, Leslee singled to open the inning, Bailey then singled and Candice walked to load the bases. After Whitney Allen flew out to short left field, Tanner stepped up and hit the first homerun of the season for the Spartans.
The Emery JV played their first game of the season and won their game 12-5 after having been down 5-1. With the early season attention being placed with the varsity team, it was nice to see the JV's continue the winning efforts.
Emery will play two more preseason games this week before region 8 action starts the following week. Emery will host South Sevier on Tuesday with game time set for 4 p.m. and a JV contest right after. Emery will then travel to Hurricane on Wednesday with the freshmen/sophomore team scheduled for their first action.

Not Bad - But For The Price, I Expected Better!This shampoo does cut down on frizz somewhat, I think (just guessing) that instead of silicons, bamboo gets deposited on the hair as a filler to smooth the hair strand. It does appear to strengthen the hair. I get better results with this if I let it air dry but in the winter I usually don't. The shampoo is very concentrated and you'll have to make sure your hair is soaking wet, I always have to add water while shampooing to get a nice lather. The scent is pleasant, overall not a bad shampoo but for the price I expected it to smooth the frizz more. I have used this with the Kendi Oil and matching conditioner. I also checked the ingredients, it claims to be sulfate free but Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is an ingredient listed, something to do research on .

Like The Smooth Look It Gives MeI have blonde colored hair. Other shampoo made my hair more wavy, bushy look. Since using the Bamboo anti frizz shampoo , my hair is smooth--the way I like it. I think it is worth the $22. It lasts a long time--almost a year since I only wash my hair once a week---my hair is on the dry side so I don't wash it more than that. It may not be as often than most people, but it works for me.Sep 9, 2013Sue P.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Just OkI like that this shampoo is all natural...that is something really important to me. I don't think it works well for a anti-frizz though. I have long hair that gets really frizzy in the summer and I have not noticed a difference when using this one versus a regular shampoo. AT $20 a bottle it's too expensive for what if offers. I'd also like to mention that I have used the Alterna caviar anti aging shampoo (over$30) and loved it. Maybe this one is just not for me.Jun 1, 2012Anna / NYHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Very Nice ProductI like this product a lot. The smell is not overwhelming, and it is pleasant. The shampoo itself works wonderfully. It really cleans my hair and makes me feel good about not dumping a ton of chemicals on my head and massaging them into my scalp. As far as the cons go, my hair is a bit more frizzy after I use this shampoo than I expected - I flatiron it anyhow, so it isn't a bit deal, but considering that this is supposed to be anti-frizz, I don't really see that as a result. Also, the cost is pretty high, but so far, I really haven't used a lot. I'm probably being a bit more cautious, though, because I don't want to have to buy a new thing soon. Overall, I like this product. I'm not 100% sure if I will buy it again, mostly because of cost, but if you can swing it, I'd say give it a try. There's nothing bad about the product itself, just a little bit pricey.Feb 22, 2012Jennifer / Richmond, VAHAIR TYPEAuburn / Thick or Coarse Hair

Love How My Hair Feels!I used to be an Aveda advocate, but I've been slowly moving towards other brands also since they are becoming more natural. I love trying out new products, especially if they are natural, chemical free, etc, so I thought I'd give this a whirl. I'm glad I did! I love the smell and how it lathers. I love my hair after I dry it. It's smooth, frizz free and shiny. I use it with the matching conditioner. Great product!Feb 13, 2012Monica / St. LouisHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Great LineI also gave this shampoo a five star rating. As one with wavy, frizzy hair I've tried everything that is for frizzy and smoothing hair. This cleans your hair and I used the conditioner to go with it. My hair is smooth for days even during humidity times and I am very pleased with it. Will continue to buy it.Jan 10, 2012Susan / Southeast

Love How It Makes My Hair Feel And Look!This product excites me more than any in recent memory. It makes my hair feel so soft, so smooth, so luxurious! It also has a beautiful scent, but is not overwhelming at all.
My hair is thick, not colored, but prone to frizz in the heat. After using the Bamboo line, my hair doesn't feel at all frizzy, and the kendi oil spray just tops it all off perfectly. You can expect to feel a difference in your hair after the first application, I would say.
The shampoo and conditioners are very thick, so they don't drop through your fingers down the drain. But you will need to work it through your hair. Personally, I like that a lot, I lose a lot of money slipping through my fingers down the drain!Jul 28, 2011Cheryl P. / Huntsville, ALHAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Perfect For Fine Hair!!!!!!This product is one of the best I have used so far. I have very thin and chemically processed hair so it works wonders for me. Because my hair is on the damaged side I use a leave in conditioner for extra protection and I use the Chi Infusion Shine Spray after I flat iron so that it brings even more shine and smoothness to my hair. Once finished I can't get over how bouncy and clean my hair feels. You wouldn't know my hair was damaged. Most shampoos/conditioners either leave my hair heavy or dry/frizzy. You feel the difference the minute you rinse it out. It doesn't wash away like some others do. Great Stuff and I highly recommend it to anyone!!!!! I turned my co-worker on to it and she has extremely thick/curly/spanish origin hair. She fell in-love with it too!Mar 21, 2011LisaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair
