Tour Description
On the scenic 30 minute ride from either the Coxen Hole or Mahogany Bay Cruise Ship pier, you'll learn a little bit about Roatan's history and traditions, and you'll quickly see why it has become a up and coming destination for travelers seeking fun in the sun.
Your destination is Tabyana Beach, located in Roatan's West End. It's Roatan's most popular beach, and the destination of many passengers coming to the island by cruise ship. Tabyana features a white sand beach, warm inviting waters with good snorkeling in the reefs and amenities available at the adjacent resort.
This tour provides you with a day pass at the Henry Morgan Resort at Tabyana Beach. You have access to private sun loungers, sand mats, fresh water showers with changing and restroom facilities, a local gift shop and a bar. In the background they play Caribbean music to add to the atmosphere.
Here, you can swim, snorkel (bring your own equipment), walk down the beach, lie in the sun or under the shade of palm trees, play volleyball, or rent banana boats or kayaks (see note below).
Some tours include a barbeque lunch, which consists of barbeque chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs served with island-style fixings and tropical fruit. Ice tea and lemonade are available throughout the day.
Return transportation to the Cruise Ship dock complex is available all day, departing every half hour. Check with your ship for the return schedules.
Note: Lockers, banana boats and kayaks are available for rent from the resort on a first-come, first-served basis. The use of the water slide is not included on this tour, but can be purchased once at the beach. Collapsible wheelchair accessible transportation can be provided for this tour for guests with limited mobility; however, it is subject to availability. Therefore, the request must be made at the shore excursion desk onboard prior to ship's arrival in port.

I got lucky though, an LGS I seldom go to had three in stock and I got the one I wanted. Next gun show I found two for sale and surprisingly the prices were higher than I paid.

Camels are dicks. They have been for thousands of years dating back to ancient Egypt when they would routinely bite the headgear off pharaohs. The most recent case of camel dick-like behavior comes courtesy of Reddit, when this poor tourist tried to snap herself a new profile pic.
While this image is shocking and totally worth laughing at, it's nothing new. Take a look below at the heinous actions that camels have been getting away with for centuries.
And just for good measure, here's Bear Grylls using a dead camel for a sleeping bag. Delightful.

"Osvaldo is not that big of a guy," says coach Sigi Schmid of his diminutive size, but "He's a very good one-on-one defender" with a tenacity in which "once he's got his hooks in you, he doesn't let you go." So where'd he come from?
Alonso excelled last year for the Charleston Battery in the USL-1, where he earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2008. Adding to the intrigue around Alonso is the fact that he made the decision to defect to the USA from Cuba following the 2007 Concacaf Gold Cup, following the path of Chivas USA striker Maykel Galindo, who sought asylum after the 2005 tournament and also made his rise to the MLS through America's minor league system. In fact, Galindo played for the USL version of the Seattle Sounders.

Financial Times reporters will have to subedit parts of their own stories, including writing draft headlines as the paper launches the next phase of its digital integration.
Editor Lionel Barber outlined the changes to staff yesterday as part of a plan to boost production skills among the paper's reporters and editors called Newsroom 2009, MediaGuardian.co.uk can reveal.
However, an FT spokeswoman confirmed that as part of today's announcement the paper has no immediate plans for any future redundancies, whether compulsory or voluntary.
In January the FT announced 80 job cuts across the company, including 20 in editorial. After negotiations, no journalists' jobs were made compulsorily redundant after 17 voluntary redundancies were made and costs were reduced in unpaid leave, reduced hours and redeployment.
In a briefing note, reporters were told that they must "take responsibility" for adding hyperlinks to their stories, run their own spell and style checks and write draft headlines. When stories are to appear in the newspaper, they must check for length.
After reporters file their stories, desks check their links and metadata, refine headlines and add pictures, graphics and video.
Another desk then subs and revises content for print and online before the story is proofread and published.
In his address, Barber said: "Newsroom 2009 does not alter our proven approach to news-gathering or news priorities: our philosophy remains to deliver a snapshot of relevant business and financial news, analysis and commentary to a global audience around the clock.
"We are not a news agency, we are not a general newspaper, we are the FT – and we intend to be a 21st-century news organisation.
"The evolutionary changes which we propose now, taken together with what we have achieved to date, will ensure that the FT remains on a sustainable footing, to continue to be a leading force in the world of business journalism."
Barber said that the paper's "editorial and commercial strategy is working", adding: "While many of our rivals are slipping or simply going under, the Financial Times is on the front foot. We have won awards and accolades and picked up quality readers around the world.
"Our coverage of the global financial crisis has been unrivalled. Our success comes down to a team effort: reporters, editors, production and our colleagues in commercial. It's been hard work and it has involved sacrifice – but as one FT journalist in the front-line said to me the other day: 'Yeah, but it's been a lot of fun'."
The changes in editorial production are part of a long-term process at the FT, first begun in 2006 when Barber began what he called "a seamless integration of print and online for reporters and editors".
The spokeswoman also said that the changes would not necessarily mean earlier deadlines but that they would "take the newsroom to the next level of integration".

the Past
Locally, Thinking Globally
Bang for Your Battery
Research, Practical Answers
Research Centers and Institutes
Alumni Association
News Center
It is our pleasure to introduce this year's GW
Research magazine. This magazine celebrates the achievements
of our faculty members and scientists, as well as the efforts
of numerous administrative and support staff who help our
researchers carry out their important work.
Donald R. Lehman
Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
Elliot Hirshman
Chief Research Officer
Jessica McConnell
There is much to celebrate! Our sponsored research expenditures
have reached $132 million. This record-high total caps a decade
in which such expenditures have nearly tripled. Moreover,
in the past year our researchers received prestigious Fulbright,
Coulter, and Sloan fellowships; our School of Business was
designated a Center for International Business Education and
Research by the Department of Education; and James Clark of
the Department of Biology discovered the oldest known remains
of a ceratopsian dinosaur.
This issue highlights the centrality of interdisciplinary
research to our research enterprise. The national trend toward
interdisciplinary study is driven by practical imperatives.
The problems of economic competitiveness, energy, environmental
sustainability, health promotion/disease prevention, and homeland
security challenge researchers to form interdisciplinary teams.
We are meeting this challenge and, in the process, changing
the ways in which we conduct our work.
Most importantly, synergies between the introduction of new
technology for scientific measurement and the development
of complex simulation models are speeding the pace of scientific
discovery. The work of Brian Richmond, featured in our cover
story, exemplifies this trend. Richmond uses CT imaging technology
to measure bone structures in fossils and living tissue. He
then incorporates these data into finite element simulation
models that describe the mechanical and biological functions
of the bone structures.The models provide descriptions of
the differences between fossils and living tissues, illuminating
human evolution and opening new scientific vistas.
In this context, many of the interdisciplinary faculty members
described here are national leaders in the development of
new technologies for scientific measurement. Our protein microscope
team is pioneering methods for the identification of protein
structures in extant tissue, and our cancer biosensor group
is combining microelectrical sensors with protein detection
techniques to create a biosensor that will facilitate the
early detection of breast cancer. Our researchers also are
leading the way in creating complex simulation models. Our
biological networks team is creating models of the neural
circuits that are utilized in plants under conditions of drought,
while our motion capture laboratory is devising models of
motion that facilitate the creation of biomimetic instrumentation.
Through these interdisciplinary initiatives and other efforts
described here, The George Washington University is moving
into a national leadership role in research. We hope you enjoy
this issue of our GW Research magazine and that you
will contact us to learn more about our research enterprise.

I'm trying to buy TAG Heuer Men's CAP2112.BA0833 Aquaracer Chronograph. There are not any AD near by and I try to get it in the internet. The model appears on Tag website but I fail to find it available in any site. A few sites suggested that it might be discontinued. It is available in other colors (white/black), however I prefer the blue edition.
Any idea if TAG discontinued the blue version?

It has been a long time since I played DW I'm only using it to get DW events

It has been a long time since I played DW I'm only using it to get DW events
and C-Gear skins
My Shinies:
Pokemon in My Safari: Dedenne, Helioptile, Manectric
How do you know what your total DW score is?
Also by 50 pokemon on your friend board does it mean once you bring 50 pokemon to the Entralink you can't bring any new ones?
You mean how many points you have earned during your current session? To see your total score, go to your profile and click on the Dream World tab (the second one of the four tabs from the left).
Oh yeah. I think I saw somewhere if you registered B/W 2 on Global Link before a certain date you could get Zekrom and Reshiram C-Gear skins. Did it pass?
I also make the "tower" leans towards the left on purpose, so I can stack the scoops faster as they are closer.
I believe using the type reduction berries (Occa, Rindo, Chilan, etc.) can lead to an even better score.
The stickiness doesn't matter since we can just use the quick freezing trick to make them stick, so all we have to do is use the berries that are much easier to scoop.
My shinies. Just click the links~
~Shiny Banner 1~
~Shiny Banner 2~
~Shiny Banner 3~
My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.
Banner 1 made by Light Venusaur, thanks ^_^
I got myself a lovely Micle Berry today
I returned to the Dream World today after taking a short break from it. Tucked in a Kecleon. Watered berries and found a Micle Berry on a Share Shelf, will plant it when I enter the Dream World next time, hopefully tomorrow. Went to the Island of Dreams, got to the Icy Cave 4 times, the Sea, Sky and Manor twice each. Befriended 8 Pokemon, three of them were female: Geodude, Sigilyph and Elgyem. I kept the Elgyem.
~~ ~~
~~ ~~
each time i'm going to dream world, i can't play mini-game 'scoop-ice-cream-thing'. it just shows "LOADING 100%" for about 10 minutes then i get fed up waiting cause it is wasting precious one-hour period. does anybody know why this is happening?
Pokemon Y - Ash - FC: 5284-1497-3877
I hate the whole "change the time/date on your DS and you have to wait until 24 hrs before you can use Game Sync"
All I did was adjust the time by 2 MINS and now I'm locked out of DW and because I only have access to a Wi-Fi on weekends imma have to wait until next week before I can tuck in a Pokemon -_______________-
OR Team:
Friend Safari:
You can go a day or two without watering your berries, right?
I'm going to set my 3DS clock to the right time.
Yes. Other people might water your berries for you. I changed the clock on one of my DS Lites myself and had to wait about four days before getting to use Game Sync again.
Worst thing ever, when you get the ice cream scooping mini game and you don't have a mouse :/
Just got my 3rd row in my garden, planning on getting the cookie Island. Went into the isle of dreams and found myself in the icy cave where I only found an ultra ball and a Drilbur
Nintendo 3DS FC: 4425-1490-2598
Safari Type: Psychic
Safari Pokemons: Abra, Sigilyph, and Gothorita
did alright today got one of each of the ev reducing berries which I plan to grow in my new 3rd row got a Female Drilbur as well hoping to get to go to a new area soon
I just saw on the Global Link website said that they'll be going under maintenance on November 20th. Hopefully this means they'll be adding Dream Park internationally too
Moon Trainer Passport:
- Name: Mitsuki Nagaoka
- Hometown: Ohana Shore, Alola
- Originally from : Pallet Town, Kanto
- Status: Went back home to fix my pokédex. It felt great to battle like that again,
maybe I should give this trial thing a try
The Global Link performs maintenance every Tuesday to update things such as GTS Records at 3 AM EST. But during this week, they'll be doing an extended maintenance.
Today's visit was encouraging, I was finally able to get through close to my full 1 hour without the website slowing down or crashing on me. Managed a few trips on the island, mostly went to the Icy Cave, with 2 visits to the Sparkling Sea. Decided to bring home a female Water Veil Buizel. Hopefully my next trip will be just as good as tonight's was.

LOL, I find it incredibly amusing that I've tucked in a Magby and a Drilbur and they both wound up exploring the Sparkling Sea, of all places. It's especially odd in Drilbur's case, given the Icy Cave has a preference for Ground-types. Likewise, I've tucked in an Azumarill and it decided to explore the Icy Cave.
Oh, and there's one thing I'm not sure of. A Pokemon you befriend in the Dream World has one of three moves it comes with. How is that move determined? I've always thought it was based on the score you get in the mini-game you play with it, but I've gotten what I thought were pretty good scores on those games and still got Pokemon with crappy moves. Is the move determined at random or something?
Second, and this is kind of a silly question, but is there any way to transfer berries from my main game to the Dream World so I can grow them there?

I have claimed Celestia Ludenberg from Dangan Ronpa. --My Updated RPer profile--
RPG's I'm in now: The War Within (Ari), MLP: It Came from the Stars (Madame Starshroom)
Current RPG Project: Earthbound: The Rainbow Omen (Sign-ups) (RPG thread) (Discussion)
Score does effect the move you get
But all it does is up the odds of getting a better move ("better" sometimes is relative), not guarantee it.

Friends of a man suspected of stabbing his wife and two young children to death described them tonight as "almost the perfect family".
The man - named as Damian Rzeszowski - has been arrested over six deaths in St Helier, Jersey, yesterday. The other victims are thought to include his father-in-law, his wife's friend and her daughter.
At a mass in a Catholic church in St Martin near Jersey's capital, family friend Jakub Bartus, 35, named Rzeszowski's wife as Izabela Rzeszowski.
Mr Bartus's wife Marlena, 27, said she had not seen the family since last September but had always been touched by how happy they were.
She said: "They were a lovely family, lovely kids. They were almost the perfect family.
"The children loved playing with their Mega Bloks and he used to push them in a trailer. The way we had seen him, he was a really good father.
"We spent two hours with them, it was a lovely atmosphere."
Mr Bartus said: "It is so sad, this is something that should not happen. There are lots of questions that need to be answered. It's such a tragedy. I can't understand why the kids were involved. This is not about them, they are innocent."
Mrs Bartus said she believed the boy was aged about two and the daughter was about five or six.
Her own son played with the boy as they were the same age.
Detectives are waiting to question Rzeszowski in hospital over the deaths.
Neighbours said today they fended off the "mumbling" attacker with a traffic cone before he turned his knife on himself.
The attack spilled from a flat and into the street yesterday afternoon.
One local, who did not want to be named, said the suspect had been rowing with his wife recently and tried to take an overdose last month.
Another resident in the same block of flats in St Helier said he saw a man chasing a woman with a knife before then stabbing himself in the chest.
Bryan Ogesa, 24, said he and his two friends used a traffic cone to try to defend themselves as the man then came towards them. As he ran away, he saw the body of another man lying in the doorway of the flat with a knife sticking out of his back.
Mr Ogesa, who ran outside after hearing screaming, said: "A man was chasing a woman with a knife, it was quite long."
He said he first saw another woman lying on the ground and had gone to help her as he thought she had simply fallen over.
"She was responsive, but just mumbling," he said. "That's when the guy started coming towards us. He was mumbling as well."
Another man, who would give only his first name of John, said he had been in his garden nearby and ran to the scene after hearing a woman scream.
"She shouted 'please help me, please God help me'," he said.
Mike Bowron, chief officer for Jersey Police, called for local communities to remain "dignified and calm" as he said all the victims were from Poland and four were from the same family.
"Jersey is an incredibly safe place, one of the safest in the western world, and incidents of this nature are exceptionally rare," he said in a statement.
"It makes such a tragedy even more difficult for people to come to terms with, and no one could fail to be affected by the events that unfolded here yesterday.
"Inevitably, perhaps, such an incident will raise tensions locally and I would appeal to everyone to remain calm and dignified and allow my officers to continue with what is a complex, demanding and difficult investigation."

Statement on the passing of Tom Boerwinkle
Sam Smith: Gentle giant Boerwinkle an unassuming success
In his own words: Tom Boerwinkle: My Most MemoraBull Game
March 27, 2013
(John B. Mitchell/NBAE/Getty Images)
"We were all heartbroken this morning to learn of the passing of Tom Boerwinkle. In addition to being one of the Bulls all-time great players, Tom was one of the kindest men you would ever want to meet with the gentlest of souls. A true gentle giant who made great contributions to the Chicago Bulls organization on and off the court. We will miss him greatly and our condolences go out to his wife, Linda, his son, Jeff, and his daughter, Gretchen," said Steve Schanwald, Executive Vice President-Business Operations.
Selected by Chicago with the fourth overall pick in the 1968 NBA Draft, Boerwinkle spent his entire career in Chicago. During his 10 seasons with the Bulls, he played in 635 games and averaged 7.2 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 3.2 apg and.453 shooting from the floor.
Against Phoenix on Jan. 8, 1970, he grabbed a franchise-record 37 rebounds, a record that still stands over 40 years later. That same season, he set the single-season franchise record for rebounds with 1,133. Following his retirement from the NBA, Boerwinkle also served as a Bulls radio broadcaster from 1991-1994.
In team annals, Boerwinkle ranks second in total rebounds (5,745), third in seasons played (10), fifth in games played (635) and eighth in assists (2,007).


text: Both really great skaters, though I voted for Kwan. Yu-na produced easily the best Olympic ladies' FP in recent history. That program was phenomenal, technically and artistically. However, obviously, she didn't deliver often enough. Only in 2009 and 2010 did she win major titles and didn't make any major errors that would have prevented her from winning. In the other years, she either messed up the short or free. And while she is artistically a strong skater, her programs don't stack up to Kwan's. Giselle and Arirang in 2011 could've if she skated to her full potential. I don't get why everyone is bashing Michelle for her lower technical ability. Michelle may not have done difficult combos like Irina or Tara, but her technical ability was nothing to be scoffed off about. Keep in mind that during her time, it wasn't the norm for most skaters to be attempting difficult triple-triples. Looking at her rivals throughout the championships - Chen, Butyrskaya, and Cohen generally didn't land triple-triples against her. Lipinski consistently did a 3r-3r. Slutskaya only landed difficult triple-triples in some of her programs, and often wasn't successful. I wouldn't count Hughes in, because she generally was not a rival. Arakawa landed a triple-triple-double in 2004, but otherwise didn't land the triple-triples all that often in major competition either. Kwan's 1998 LP at Nationals is so far ahead artistically of everyone else, it more than compensates for her lack of triple-triples. If Yu-na wins a couple more major titles, than I'd consider having her win such a competition.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Sadly I'm not the one to get my daughter her costume. My mom takes care of my little 8 year old.
Party City
Just like every year my wife got a pattern and is making the costume. My kid has been many things that you might see on PBS kids or Nick Jr. Again this year she will be a dinosaur from Dinosaur train. That girl loves Dinosaurs.
Tried to make a costume for him, and failed miserably 2X. Gave up and finally bought the Lion costume from Target. Not that he wants to wear it at all (the joys of a 1 year old...)
We start with things we already have and make the rest or buy them (from a secondhand store if possible). As something they usually only wear once, I hate spending much money on the costume if we don't have to.
Old Navy FTW!
Girl- Hermione- bought new unused robe at Goodwill-using own gray clothing and a Harry Potter scarf-wand is from a trip to Disney
Boy-Ninja-bought outfit at costume swap-swords from Target
Boy-Crusader/Warrior helmet and cape sort of Roman thing- bought at Costco
Girl- Rapunzel-Costco
Glow in the dark sticks and clothing stickers-dollar store
reusing last years buckets and flashlights.
I am a witch this year.
Kids are dressed and ready to go since last weekend.
Grandma bought it at Carters
I bought the one my youngest is wearing THIS year -- 2 years ago at that after Halloween sale at K-Mart. It's a pink pinstriped "gangster" suit. We have made a few things to go with it and customize it. My daughters have always liked to play dress-up, so I have always hit the after Halloween super-mega mark down costumes for that purpose. They rarely use those costumes for actual Halloween. I usually make them a costume. I'd rather compile something from what we have than buy a pre-made.
So just to make sure I'm interpreting this poll accurately:
Is 'Goodwill' to 'thrift store'
As 'Kleenex' is to 'tissue'?

Ah, the perfect lead-in for the ever popular dinner table connundrum: 'Metonymy or Synechdoche?'
Basically. Goodwill Industries runs a chain of thrift shops in New York and New Jersey.
No kids, so I didn't vote, but I'm working on my costume for a Halloween Party/Costume Contest.
I'm not sure it rises beyond the level of kludging or not, however.
Now if you'll excuse me... I have to see if the spray-paint is drying properly.
Costco! Great prices.
i bought it on clearance after halloween last year.
Grandma makes them.

Goodwill stores are all over the country. Too expensive in my neck of the woods though. Think they are hoity-toity. Wal-Mart is generally cheaper.

"I know what you are against, tell me what you are for!"
In part one of this series I discussed the beginnings of Protestant Christianity in the Reformation movement of the sixteenth century. The term "Protestant" was applied to a group of Christians who were protesting against what they perceived to be the theological excesses of the medieval Roman Catholic Church. However, Protestantism is more than just a negative reaction to Catholicism.
The early Protestants held three doctrinal positions that have come to be known as the characteristics of Protestant Christianity. Here are those uniting points enumerated:
- Justification by faith alone (sola fide)
- Scripture as the supreme authority in faith and practice (sola Scriptura)
- Priesthood of all believers
I will briefly explore the first doctrinal distinctive here and save the next two for successive installments in the series.
Justification By Faith Alone
The first theological distinctive is reflected in the Protestant rallying cry "Justification by faith alone." In fact, the issue of justification was considered the central doctrinal matter under dispute between Protestants and Catholics in the sixteenth century. The issue involves how sinful human beings are made right with a holy God. In other words, it focuses on the issue of salvation.
The Reformers argued vigorously that man's righteousness before God depended not upon man's own meritorious works, but rather upon God's gracious work in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Hence justification is the judicial (legal) act of God whereby he acquits the believer of wrongdoing and accepts the believer as righteous in his sight based upon the perfect imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ (Luke 18:14; Acts 13:39; Romans 3:20, 23-24, 28; 5:1-2; Galatians 2:16; 3:24; Titus 3:5, 7).
God declares the guilty sinner to be acquitted of his sins but also views him as righteous because of his personal union with Christ through faith. The father of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther (1483-1564), called justification the "great exchange." In salvation, Christ takes the believer's sins and the believer takes Christ's righteousness.
The Protestant position on salvation did not imply that good works were somehow unimportant in one's relationship with God. Rather, good works were the inevitable fruit of salvation instead of the root of salvation. As Luther so succinctly stated:
"Faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone."
According to Luther, a faith that truly justifies is a faith that is pregnant with works of loving obedience before God. In other words, an authentic faith leads to good works but good works do not necessarily lead to an authentic faith. The Reformers' view of justification by faith alone came to be known in Latin as sola fide.
For the Protestant Reformers, justification by grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Jesus Christ's atoning work on the cross is the central point of the historic Christian gospel. A Theopedia article summarizes the upshot of the biblical doctrine of justification quite well:
"This doctrine maintains that we are justified before God (and thus saved) by faith alone, not by anything we do, not by anything the church does for us, and not by faith plus anything else."
Protestant Christianity doesn't teach that a person is justified by faith and works. Rather it teaches that a person is justified by a vibrant faith that works.
For an essay on the Christian doctrine of the atonement (including justification), see chapter 11 of my book Without a Doubt: Answering the 20 Toughest Faith Questions.
For a popular presentation of the doctrine of justification by faith, see John Piper, Counted Righteous in Christ.
To read about the Protestant Reformation, I suggest beginning with two works by Yale historian Roland H. Bainton Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther and The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century.

Thanks for your question.
As many of the other plastic surgeons have pointed out. Very rarely does anyone *need* a labiaplasty (though I have had several patients treated in my San Francisco area practice who have had significant labial tears from childbirth or other surgeries who had insurance covered labiaplasty).
More commonly labiaplasty is for cosmetic reasons though we commonly have patients describe pain during sex or sitting who have had significant improvement.
Asymmetry of the labia minora can also cause self image issues that some women may wish to seek surgery to improve.
For the vast majority of women this can be considered a cosmetic procedure. Find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and needs.
I hope this helps.

Your Business & Technology: New Opportunities Are WaitingGuest_Blogger | Aug 05, 2011
What impact has online work had on your ability to earn income from wherever you are? Nicole Washington, owner of Micro Biz Coach, offers her thoughts on how technology is revolutionizing the way people from all reaches of the globe have economic opportunities that didn't exist even a few years ago.
Some decades ago, many citizens of the United States of America enjoyed a robust economic time when, with some basic training but no formal education, one could have a job that paid enough of a wage to live what many called "The American Dream." Today, that privilege can be enjoyed by many more citizens of the world as a direct result of internet technology.
Just as the Industrial Age gave way to the creation of the factories that afforded the working class new opportunities to provide for themselves and their families, we are in the midst of the Information Age, which if properly harnessed, can provide the same opportunity.
Let's take a look back through the sands of time. Though it seems like it's been around forever, the internet was only a commercial innovation of the 1990s, although the internet of today is quite different! Yet counting its number of registered users, Facebook took less than 7 years to become the size of the 3rd largest country in the world!
In the world of computing, there is a concept called Moore's Law which tells us that the capacity for things like computer memory and speed will double every 2 years. (Now you know why you have to upgrade your computers so often!) Although some believe this trend will be ending soon, it has held true for the past few decades and will likely continue for at least the next 5 years. As computer technology continues to develop, we must continue to improve our knowledge of it and if possible, better utilize it to our advantage.
Remember when it used to cost thousands of dollars for a company to build a website? Well, in those days that company usually had access to the lower level programming languages that the average person didn't know. And that's what it took to create a website – back then. Now the technology has evolved to a point where if you understand how to use Microsoft Word, you may very well be able to create a professional website using a content management system like Joomla! or WordPress. While there are new things we may still need the big companies to specialize in, the sheer number of beautiful WordPress blogs show us the power everyday people have when using these new web-based technologies!
In the wake of escalating unemployment levels over the past few years , these changes in technology, in particular, internet technology, have not only made it easier for an individual to have a business, it is also easier for an individual to do business. Leading platforms like Elance and LinkedIn have made it easier for business to connect with individuals, small businesses, or large business that can provide the services or products they need. Elance for example, can put a company in contact with a global workforce with the exact skillset the company is looking for. These skillsets are not limited to web development, but include others like content creation, graphic design and database programming to name a few. This creates new employment opportunities for the contractors that are hired to do the work, but it also gives entrepreneurs more incentive to start their own businesses—knowing that there is a ready and qualified workforce to choose from.
So there you have it! Using this internet-based technology, people from all parts across the globe can find enough online work in order to fully support themselves financially, from both the contractor and client sides. In fact, some leading economists say, the next generation of millionaires will be a direct result of the opportunities provided by internet technology. So whether you see yourself as a small business owner or a freelance contractor, you should make sure you are taking advantage of this unique time in our history. A computer and an internet connection have become the new tools of business both nationally and globally. If you are not taking advantage of this unique opportunity, tell us what you feel you need to get started. New economic opportunities are waiting!

Wow Carter,
Another in a long line of shameful, dishonest, and misleading attacks.
Here are the facts. Nothing that happend that day would have prevented Demario Atwater from walking out of Court. Mr. Atwarter was there merely to be told about his rights to an attorney, and nothing that Clerk or anyone in Lorrin Freeman's office did would have kept him in jail and from committing that crime.
It is disgusting for Jan Pueschel and you here to suggest so and it is pathetic and sad to try to take political advantage of such a tragic event.
No one should be surpised though because that is typical how she and apparently you operate.
The sparks that are flying are from outrage from those who recieved that e-mail at how wrong and low it is, including many of your Republican attorney friends.
Most of them would also tell you what a horrible clerk Ms. Pueschel was and what a good job Lorrin Freeman has done. Go ahead. Ask around. Clerk of Court is about competence, not partisanship, and when it came to doing that job, Jan failed misserably, and most court observers would tell you Lorrin has been the best in 25 years.
As far as the politics of it goes, it was not so smart frankly for her to e-mail this to the one group that knows what BS it is, and that is the Bar.

A company's mission statement may be the most important component that drives marketing activities, yet oftentimes is unknown or misunderstood by company employees. A common misconception about mission statements is that they are lofty, philosophically deep statements that really don't apply to day-to-day operations. Strategic planners and high priced consultants develop these astute, profound proclamations, but really, they are useless. In reality, a good mission statement will be anything BUT useless. It should be the driving ideal for everything a company does.
An effective mission statement should provide all employees, from the president to the entry-level worker, with a shared sense of opportunity, direction, significance, and achievement. It represents a vision of what the organization currently is or what it is attempting to become…and should be easily understood by everyone in the organization. The following are characteristics of a good mission statement:
- Founded more on customer needs and satisfaction than on product characteristics.
- Reflects core competencies of the organization and skills of the people.
- Narrow enough to provide direction, yet broad enough to allow for unforeseen, yet complementary, business opportunities.
- Flexible and updated as needed to reflect changes in the company and the business environment.
- Easily understood by everyone in the organization (yes, it was worth repeating).
Mission statements should not be holier-than-thou postulates with phrases such as "a total quality supplier and partner", "exceeding customer expectations", or "provide high quality, low cost (widgets)". Would any company want to be only a partly quality supplier and partner? With regards to customer service, well, if you want to exceed my expectations, how about throwing in a new car with my purchase. That would exceed my expectations. Finally, high quality and low cost rarely go hand-in-hand. Pick one, not both.
Women in Business Networking (WiBN) is a local networking group with a mission to "…provide forums for building relationship so women will achieve career and personal success through education, resources and recognition." It has all the qualities of a good mission statement and the organization has experienced phenomenal success and growth. What started out as a hand-full of networking opportunities, such as luncheons and morning coffee meetings, has grown into a monumental resource on multiple levels. Their Leadership Mentoring program pairs experienced local mentors with selected mentees to help with career guidance. Their Entrepreneur Group provides opportunity for business owners to share, confidentially, their challenges and successes with one another for support and guidance. In fact in 2013 the Dayton Better Business Bureau nominated WiBN for their Eclipse Integrity Award. Not bad for an organization that's approximately 5 years young and still following its mission.
Writing a mission statement for the first time can seem like a weighty, or even scary, undertaking. It is, but don't over think it. In closing, the following are some more excellent mission statements that may help with this idea.
"To be the world's best quick service restaurant experience. Being the best means providing outstanding quality, service, cleanliness, and value, so that we make every customer in every restaurant smile." McDonalds
"It is the mission of Advance Auto Parts to provide personal vehicle owners and enthusiasts with the vehicle related products and knowledge that fulfill their wants and needs at the right price. Our friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff will help inspire, educate and problem-solve for our customers." Advance Auto Parts
"To build shareholder value by delivering pharmaceutical and healthcare products, services and solutions in innovative and cost effective ways. We will realize this mission by setting the highest standards in service, reliability, safety and cost containment in our industry." AmerisourceBergen

2 dead in apparent murder-suicide in rural northeast Indiana
The Allen County coroner has identified a woman shot to death near Fort Wayne and have ruled her death Allen County's first homicide of 2012.
The coroner said Monday the victim is 34-year-old Melinda Jones.
Sheriff's deputies says she was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds in a Huntertown home late Sunday after an apparent domestic dispute and that a man that was being sought for the shooting later was found dead.
Indiana state troopers soon found the man dead inside his car on a rural road a few miles away in southern DeKalb County.
Allen County sheriff's Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel says the man apparently shot himself to death. His name has not yet been released.

Not really. :-) I know that it has to match the kernel version. The kernel in the FC1 installer is 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl, and this is the kernel i built the driver against after install. (I've just confirmed this again by running uname -a under both the installer and the default kernel after install.) The issue is not with the kernel version, but with module symbol versioning, which from what i've been able to work out so far is a way of making sure you have compatible versions of modules within the same kernel version. This seems to be an option at kernel/module compile time - problem is, i can't work out where. The option seems to be turned off in the installer kernel, and on in the installed kernel. -- Paul http://paulgear.webhop.net -- A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.

ICTs and Indigenous pedagogy: Techniques of resistance in chat rooms

|PDF (350kB)
This paper draws upon the ideas and scholarship encapsulated by a core unit at QUT in 'Indigenous Education'. This unit was developed and written by Indigenous staff in the university's Oodgeroo Unit and taken up for delivery for the first time in 2003. Staff in Teaching and Learning Support Services (TALSS) were approached towards the end of the writing of this subject to develop a unique online environment that would support the philosophical and pedagogical tenets of this program of study. In 2004, a chat room was introduced to allow students an additional space for their reflections and learning over the semester. This paper suggests that the risks and resistances modelled by both the teaching staff and the learning environment are key factors in assisting pre-service teachers to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander knowledges in their own teaching for the benefit of all students. By undertaking a conversational analysis of chat room support sessions, observations can be made on: (i) the impact and efficacy of ICT use in assisting student reflection, provocation and critique, and (ii) future directions of

Commissioner for Children visits children at Mater Dei Hospital
The Commissioner for Children, Helen D'Amato, together with a group of fourth form students from Sacred Heart School visited the children who are currently patients at Mater Dei Hospital. The students carried out various activities with the children such as face painting, story telling and Christmas card making in the children's wards. The students also sang Christmas Carols in the corridors.
The Commissioner for Children was greeted by the friendly staff and spoke to the children and their parents. Guginu, the mascot of the Office of the Commissioner for Children, assisted the Commissioner in handing out presents to the children.

(97 trucks had 10 more hp) As anyone knows my 5spd doesnt rev up or give any throttle response when cold. My dads auto truck does. there is nothing wrong with my truck it is the way ford made it to keep you from over revving a cold engine. Thanks for any help.

This is one of the most popular 'family' villages in the American zone; the other being Punta Cana. This is not a party Club, by any stretch. It's exciting if someone walks up to the bar and orders a diet coke. Everyone is in bed by 11PM. Most don't make it till 10PM. The GO's deliver the kids to their parents during dinner (around 9PM) and the kids are usually ready for bed; completely exhausted from their day.
The island is something to see as you are flying in. It's 110 miles long and one mile wide; where the Club village is located. The village is on the Atlantic side of the island, but has a marina facility on the opposite side, with a shuttle running back and forth. Even if you are not doing any water sports it's worth the time to go over and have lunch at the marina; beautiful view.
I found the GO's a bit more open at this village. They are always helpful at any village, but here, they seemed to want to be your friend. Even party down with you. I think it's because they are bored out of their minds and need something, anything, to do.
The beach.
This is THE most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Really!! How often do you see pink sand beaches. Some people think the black sand beaches of Hawaii are pretty. Naw, they're just unusual. You've got to see this beach. With the various shades of blue and green water, the shifting pink sands are a knockout. It's not solid pink, but enough to make it really stand out.
You probably will not see much of your kids after the first day or two. Once they break the ice with the other kids, they're gone. There is the normal Club Med choice: you can do as much or as little with your kids, it's up to you. If you turn them over to the GO's there is tons of stuff for them to do. The circus, SCUBA, and water-skiing are my favorites for the let's-just-sit-and-watch-the-kids activity. They have separate meals for the kids, with food kids like to eat.
NOTE: it's a good idea to go over the day's activities at breakfast, so the kids know where their parents are, just in case.
OK, I have to admit it. When they get 50 two year olds up on the stage, it IS cute. Besides, this is as wild as it gets, at this village.
Depending on your attitude this can go under the heading of 'pro' or 'con'. When they get the boys yelling 'boys' and the girls yelling 'girls' at each other across the pool, it's time to head for the beach. The GO's do a real good job with the kids, but when a pack, er... I mean a group, descends on your quiet spot of paradise it can be a bit much. I found myself shifting back and forth between the beach and the pool, depending on the noise level.
I'm usually pretty open minded about the rooms at Club Med, but here I really felt like I had checked into a bad motel. They just didn't have the character that other villages have. You are not supposed to be spending much time in your room. Right? So maybe this is a minor point.
SCUBA diving.
Sorry. Many years ago they had a full diving operation here, but not now. It's too bad really, as the 'blue hole' diving in the area is very nice. The current setup is really focused on the kids. They put a pony bottle on them and dive the pool. Very cute. A real 2 tank dive can be done as an excursion, but it's very expensive; I'd pass (or do it on your own).

bring back nostalgia and memories
Hi! Great Blog! But in this article there are a few mistakes. Most of this photos are not from Malaga.The second picture is from Santiago de Compostela (The end of St. Jame's Way). In the third picture the man is wearing a tipical castilian costume. The fourth picure is from Oviedo, in the north of Spain too.The 5th is a tipical costume from Toledo (not Andalucia). And the last two pictures are not Malaga neither Andalucia because thas costumes are from the north.

Back-to-school fever reaches a high pitch this week. Minds will turn (yes, some reluctantly) from swimming to sums, from camps to compositions.
Growing up in North Carolina where seafood is plentiful, I tended to take shrimp in summer for granted.
A couple of weeks ago I bought a case of tomatoes that weren't quite pretty enough to sell full price.
The best part of homemade granola isn't that it's cheaper. Or even that you can make it with healthier ingredients.
This is the ultimate breakfast-for-dinner dish: bacon, eggs and toast (in the form of buttery crumbs), combined with spaghetti.
Roasting is my default cooking method for just about any veggie.
I have a confession to make. I never order steaks in restaurants. That's because it is so easy to make an outstanding steak at home.
Need a break from the grill? Probably not, but it's still good to remember that there are classic summer foods that don't need an open flame to be delicious.
You don't understand it. Your child used to devour any vegetable. Any color. Any taste. You were so proud.
This butter spiked with gochujang is a great gateway recipe to get acquainted with this Korean pantry item.
There was a party going on in Columbus Saturday, a family pasta party.
At last Saturday's farmers' market in Columbus I had a booth selling homemade soups from market products.
I have a serious comfort food association with chicken salad sandwiches.
Did you notice? At about the minute the last firecracker popped on July 4, stores began slipping back-to-school supplies on the shelves.
We tend to think of beef short ribs as a winter dish, something that simmers long and slow in a Dutch oven until fall-apart tender.
It took nearly 20,000 miles to discover this secret, but cracking the code of the perfect poached egg made every one of them worth it. And I'll save you the travel trouble.
A basic strawberry-rhubarb pie is a delightful and iconic part of summer, but why let it rest at that?
I am still in a fog after spending four days last week in New Orleans for the annual Southern Foodways Alliance (SFA) summer field trip.
Reid Nevins knows tomatoes.
The growing appetite for truffles is feeding demand for dogs trained to sniff out the pungent fungus prized by chefs and foodies.

Monday, 12/11/00, at the New York Federal Reserve Bank
To the Chief Executive Officers of all Bank Holding Companies, State Member Banks, Edge Act Corporations, and Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District:
In view of the growing importance of outsourcing as a business option for financial institutions, and the additional risks introduced by this solution, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is sponsoring a Perspectives on Outsourcing Risk Conference.
This conference will discuss the role that outsourcing may play in the evolution of the financial services industry and the risk management practices that banks will need to employ in response. Participants will have an opportunity to hear the latest thinking on this trend from a variety of prominent speakers from the bank, service provider and supervisory communities.
This half-day conference will be offered on Monday, December 11, 2000, in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's 12th floor conference center. The conference will begin at 9:00 a.m. and is scheduled to end at noon. While registration is free, due to the limited seating capacity of the center, participation must generally be limited to two representatives per institution. A draft agenda (pdf - 13kb) and registration form (pdf - 6kb) are available. Please complete the form and fax it to us at 212-720-7818.
I look forward to seeing you and/or your representatives at the conference and urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss this important issue. Questions regarding outsourcing issues may be directed to Kausar Hamdani, Assistant Vice President, Joseph L. Galati II, Markets Officer, or Patrick Prickett, Senior Financial Analyst.


text: Vote for recommended candidates There's a lot at stake for educators as voters head to the polls for the primary on September 9 and the general election on November 4. The MTA encourages members to help elect candidates who have shown they support public education. MTA's Primary Election Guide includes photographs and contact information for MTA's recommended candidates. Included are candidates for state Senate and House of Representatives as well as for attorney general, lieutenant governor and the 5th and 6th Districts in Congress. Recommendations for the general election on November 4 are forthcoming. Recommended CandidatesWarren TolmanSteve KerriganKatherine ClarkJohn Tierney The MTA recommends Warren Tolman for attorney general. A state legislator for eight years, Tolman led on progressive issues. The Watertown native champions important issues such as early childhood education and efforts to end bullying. He has been a leader in seeking to end the reign of Big Tobacco and has fought against lax gun laws and domestic violence. Steve Kerrigan is the recommended candidate for lieutenant governor. A longtime member of the staff of the late U.S. Senator Edward M. Kennedy and more recently CEO of the 2012 Democratic National Convention Committee, the Lancaster resident says that "education is the key to everything." He has taken a stand against using standardized tests to dictate how students learn. In the 5th District congressional contest, the MTA and NEA recommend U.S. Representative Katherine Clark. Clark, who was elected in 2013, is focused on advocating for working families, creating good jobs, ensuring excellent schools, and keeping promises to seniors and veterans. In the 6th District congressional race, the MTA and the NEA recommend U.S. Representative John Tierney. Currently in his ninth term, the Salem native is a fighter for a vibrant middle class who works to create opportunity for all. Tierney is a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where he has championed pro-labor issues and making college more affordable and accessible. If you are interested in volunteering during the campaign season, please contact Jo Ann Fitzgerald, MTA's director of grassroots campaigns.

A spokesman for the shock jock's syndicate says a Tucson, Ariz., billboard featuring Limbaugh's name, the phrase "straight shooter" and bullet hole imagery was designed by a local station and removed after the shooting massacre that took place in that city.
Politico via the Huffington Post:
UPDATE: The billboard was removed on Monday, a spokeswoman for Limbaugh's syndicator told POLITICO.
"The ad campaign was created by a local Tucson talk radio station to promote its broadcasts of Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio program,' said Rachel Nelson, PR manager for Premier Radio Networks. "This particular ad—which uses the common expression "straight shooter" to describe Mr. Limbaugh's candid and direct style—was designed and contracted by the local station's promotion department. In the wake of the tragic events that have unfolded in Tucson, the station elected to take down this ad on Monday, January 10 – believing that discussion of its interpretation would not contribute to the desire for healing in the Tucson community."

The protein encoded by PPT1 is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. Additionally we are shipping PPT1 Antibodies (89) and PPT1 Kits (5) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 14 products:
we reveal the existence of a positive feedback loop, where palmitoylation of PPT1 results in decreased activity and subsequent elevation in the amount of palmitoylated proteins.
analysis of the palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 interactome in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma (show ARHGEF16 Proteins) cells
Data (including data from knockout mice) suggest that deficiency of PPT1 leads to accumulation of granular osmiophilic deposits in many cell types, especially in astrocytes. [review-like article]
Data suggest that human monocytes and macrophages express PPT1; PPT1 appears to contribute 32-40% of 2-arachidonylglycerol hydrolysis activity in THP1 monocyte cell line.
This neuroimaging finding in PPT1-related neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (show CLN6 Proteins) was not previously reported.
Stop codon read-through with PTC124 induces palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-1 activity, reduces thioester load and suppresses apoptosis in cultured cells from Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (show CLN6 Proteins) patients.
Results describe the correlation between the three-dimensional structural changes in mutant palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 and biochemical phenotypes.

The crystal structure of palmitoyl protein thioesterase-2 (PPT2) reveals the basis for divergent substrate specificities of the two lysosomal thioesterases, PPT1 and PPT2.
there is a close correlation between CLN2 (show TPP1 Proteins) and CLN1 expression and colorectal carcinoma progression and metastasis and suggest that they may be potential molecular targets

Parkinson-like motor/sensorimotor deficits in Cln1-/- mice are not mediated by dopamine deficiency.
Data show that Cln1 mutations disrupt the maturation of cathepsin D (show CTSD Proteins) in lysosome contributing to neuropathology of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses and suggest cathepsin D (show CTSD Proteins) deficiency to be common link between infantile and congenital form.
The authors have generated a Cln1 R151X point mutation mouse model that recapitulates the molecular, neuropathological and behavioral phenotypes of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses.
Data (including data from knockout mice) suggest that deficiency of Ppt1 leads to accumulation of granular osmiophilic deposits in many cell types, especially in astrocytes. [review-like article]
Data suggest that mouse macrophages express PPT1; PPT1 appears to contribute to 2-arachidonylglycerol hydrolysis activity in peritoneal macrophages in culture.
The simultaneous loss of both Cln1 and Cln5 (show CLN5 Proteins) genes might enhance the typical pathological phenotypes of these mice by disrupting or downregulating shared or convergent pathogenic pathways.
These results uncover a previously unknown phenotype associated with PPT1 deficiency, that of altered thermoregulation, which is associated with impaired lipolysis and neurotransmitter release to brown adipose tissue during cold exposure.
The addition of the small molecule PPT1 mimetic can further increase that response.
Glutamate receptor 4 (GluR4 (show GRIA4 Proteins)) AMPA (show GRIA3 Proteins) receptor hypofunction and NMDA receptor hyperfunction phenotype show increased sensitivity in Ppt1-deficient neurons.
The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
