Herceg Novi
Earth : Europe : Balkans : Montenegro : Herceg Novi
Herceg Novi[1], although not the most spectacular city in Montenegro (Kotor takes that prize), Herceg Novi is probably the most pleasant and warrants a several day visit. The city is particularly a good alternative to the very touristy Dubrovnik in Croatia. The cities have similar architecture but Herceg Novi not being as grand (nor as touristy and expensive). Herceg Novi translates to English as "New Castle".
A sizeable Bosnian (Serb) refugee population flooded into Herceg Novi during the war years. Many of the camps are still around although they have been turned into more permanent (and quite nice) settlements. You can still see them on the bus as you leave the city. Also if you go for a wander up into the hills you will come into whole new areas of construction resulting from the recent property boom. The Financial Times in 2007 listed Montenegro as one of world's 10 top property hotspots and foreign buyers have been snapping up properties on the coast.
Get in
Transfers from Aiport Dubrovnik / Tivat www.intravelmontenegro.net/transfers1.html [2]
Bus is the only form of public transport in/out of Herceg Novi, and the bus station (located in the centre of town) is busy the day long with buses heading (mostly) down the Adriatic coast. There is a regular bus service to Herceg Novi (and further to other Montenegrin cities) from main bus station in Dubrovnik, which runs several times a day.
If Herceg Novi is your main destination, a pleasant alternative to bus travel is hiring a Croat cab from Dubrovnik airport (Cilipi) for about €50; this trip takes about 40 minutes, including border crossings.
There is NO rail or ferry access into the town.
Get around
By foot
The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the sea. Wandering through the small stairways to the various plazas and fortresses is a many hour adventure. There are both Orthodox and Catholic churches that are well worth visiting.
Italian-made clothes in Old Town and Igalo boutiques are reasonably priced up-to-minute fashions. Not great for local arts and crafts, which are available in Kotor and Budva. Go to local market just off the main square in the Old Town on Saturday morning to buy fresh fruit (sweet and cheap), olive oil, sheep and goats cheese, dried figs, locally made wine; note that this market sells seasonal and locally produced goods, so what you find depends on the time of your visit.
Go to small eateries around the promenade for fresh local food, grilled seafood and meat dishes, and international cuisine. If you order pizza, which is usually well-made. Follow the locals; Montenegrins are usually more picky than foreign tourists when it comes to eating out.
Herceg Novi is hot in summer, and it usually stays warm late into the evenings, so cold drinks are best sellers. Iced coffee is served in tall glasses with dolops of ice cream and "slag" (low-fat whipped cream) and qualifies as a full meal. Local beer made in Niksic is good; also try "spritzer" which is a refreshing mix of chilled white wine and carbonated mineral water.
Accommodation is plentiful, look for signs that say 'soba.' You should be able to get a room for 10 EUR per person during the summer months.

Review: Apple iPhone 4 (Verizon CDMA, 16GB/32GB)
Company: Apple Inc.
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPhone 4 (Verizon CDMA)
Price: $199/16GB, $299/32GB with New 2-Year Contract
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: A solid re-release of the most impressive iPhone yet, combining museum-quality design with industry-leading display and camera hardware, video calling software, and third-party applications that are rarely matched by rival devices. Developed primarily for Verizon Wireless, including the iPhone family's first Wi-Fi-based Personal Hotspot data-sharing feature for computers and iPads, and benefitting from enhanced call reliability in some parts of the United States. Battery performance is roughly equivalent to original iPhone 4's, which offered a major jump relative to the prior-generation iPhone 3GS. Still reasonably priced given all of the technology inside.
Cons: Designed for Verizon's large but slow CDMA wireless network, resulting in markedly reduced data speeds in some areas, and always preventing cellular data services from being used while calls are incoming or in progress. Lack of SIM card slot and GSM support preclude this model from being used on majority of international cellular networks. Despite opportunities to fix previously acknowledged enclosure issues, glass and metal body remains unusually susceptible to damage and antenna attenuation unless a case is purchased and used. Other issues from AT&T iPhone 4 persist, including limited space for high-resolution video, photos, and apps in the lowest capacity 16GB version. Released eight months into iPhone 4's life cycle, only slightly ahead of anticipated successor model.
For the most part, the GSM and CDMA versions of the iPhone 4 perform identically: their screens look the same, their cameras work the same, and their batteries are more or less identical. All of these hardware capabilities are as impressive as our prior review noted they were. The subsequently-released iOS 4.2 runs at the same speed, with the same resolution, and virtually the same capabilities on both devices; the same suite of pre-installed applications we've previously discussed remains entirely intact here, down to specific features such as Visual Voicemail. Third-party iOS apps also run the same on GSM and CDMA iPhone 4s. Only the word "Verizon" at the top of the screen clues you in that there's a difference.
Though teardown specialists such as iFixit have identified a number of small changes inside the Verizon iPhone 4—as well as a Qualcomm MDM6600 cellular wireless chip and changes to the device's GPS and vibration components, these differences turn out to be virtually invisible from a user's perspective. While the wireless chip is technically capable of supporting both CDMA and GSM standards, the Verizon iPhone 4 doesn't include antenna or SIM card hardware for GSM purposes. GPS performance appears identical between AT&T's and Verizon's units. The new vibration mechanism is just a little quieter than the old one, and limits the iPhone 4's movement on a flat surface during vibration—the original version shifted as it vibrated, while the new one stays in place. Like the Verizon iPhone 4's battery, which weighs 1.3 grams less than the GSM device's, most people won't notice these changes at all. But users will notice some potentially major differences between the devices in cellular performance, both in the data and phone calling departments. Here's what our testing found.
Data. Apart from the Verizon iPhone 4's continued antenna issues, there were very few surprises in its performance as a phone and as a data device. Used over a Wi-Fi network, it offers roughly the same downloading and uploading performance as an AT&T iPhone 4 connected at the same time: over a mixed 802.11g/n network, our tests showed both devices ranging between 10-13Mbps download speeds and 0.9Mbps upload speeds, markedly faster for downloading but similar in uploading relative to our typical AT&T cellular results in East Amherst, New York. Just to get a sense of what some Verizon Android upgraders might expect, we also tested the Verizon iPhone 4 against a first-generation Motorola Droid phone in the same physical location over Wi-Fi, and the Droid registered a 9.1Mbps download speed with a 1Mbps upload speed, very modest differences versus the iPhone 4 at 10.3Mbps and 0.94Mbps, respectively.
Cellular differences were considerably larger. Whereas our AT&T iPhone achieved cellular download speeds in the 2.6Mbps range over AT&T's network—and we're not in a location with particularly impressive AT&T 3G towers—our Verizon phone struggled to achieve 1Mbps download rates from the same indoor testing location, most commonly seeing speeds in the 0.6 to 0.8Mbps range, with both phones floating around three bars of stated signal strength. Verizon upload speeds averaged 0.4Mbps range relative to AT&T speeds in the 0.8Mbps range. Outdoors, we went to a location where both phones showed five-bar signal strength, and though AT&T's speeds were similar to what we saw indoors, jumping into the 1.1 or 1.2Mbps upload speed range, Verizon's performance improved to an average of 1.5Mbps for downloads, once hitting nearly 2.2Mbps, an aberration relative to other results, while upload speeds fluctuated in the 0.7 range.
While both phones were subject to significant variations based on testing location and the location of the servers they were connecting to, the AT&T iPhone 4 was most frequently faster than the Verizon version, sometimes by a significant 2:1 or greater margin, and at other times roughly matching it. That said, the Verizon iPhone 4 outperformed Verizon's original Droid in direct indoor cellular testing: average Droid download rates hovered around 0.3Mbps, and uploads averaged 0.25Mbps, alternating with the Verizon iPhone 4 at 0.6Mbps for downloads and 0.37Mbps for uploads. In other words, though the Verizon iPhone 4 falls markedly behind the pace of the AT&T iPhone 4 on a cellular connection, it will offer tangible gains to some Verizon upgraders.
We found that antenna attenuation continues to significantly impact the Verizon iPhone 4 under the same sorts of conditions that affected the AT&T GSM device: depending on how the iPhone 4 is held, it can lose almost complete data connectivity over a cellular connection and partial data connectivity over a Wi-Fi connection. In one test in vertical orientation, the Verizon iPhone 4 started at four bars of signal strength and had a Speedtest.net result of 1.1Mbps for cellular downloads and 0.5Mbps for uploads, falling to one bar, 0.1Mbps for downloads and 0Mbps for uploads. Wi-Fi testing in horizontal, two-hand-holding orientation showed a 50% or greater drop in downloading speeds (12-15Mbps downloads down to 5.2-5.5Mbps) while 0.9Mbps upload speeds remained stable. Simply adding a case to the outside of the iPhone 4 effectively fixes the problem.
Calls. Though we were prepared to hear significant variations between phone calls—or be told by callers that we sounded a lot different to them—users outside of AT&T's most heavily congested markets should not expect to hear major or even minor differences between Verizon's and AT&T's iPhone 4s. In our primary Western New York testing location, which has solid but not fast AT&T coverage, both we and our callers heard only the tiniest distinctions between the phones: all of our callers reported that we sounded just a hint quieter and less treble-heavy on the Verizon iPhone when we were using it as either a speakerphone or handset, which two callers said made us sound a little more intelligible on the AT&T iPhone 4; all of the callers agreed that this made for ever-so-slightly more natural voice rendition on the Verizon version.
Regardless of whether they were being reached on land lines or cellular phones, all callers said that the differences were so small that they would hardly be able to tell the phones apart, and on the other side of the phones, we felt the same way. We drove with both phones through an area that occasionally suffered from dropped calls, and neither phone had an issue there, or elsewhere. Verizon's reported signal strength was slightly higher from location to location than AT&T's, but this appeared to make no difference in call quality, nor did the data-impacting antenna attenuation issues.
Where the Verizon iPhone 4 will make an obvious difference is in cities and neighborhoods with poor AT&T coverage, including areas that are heavily saturated with customers, ones at too great of a distance from AT&T's towers, and places where AT&T's signals have trouble penetrating buildings. Until and unless Verizon's slower but bigger network reaches similar rates of saturation, Verizon iPhone 4 users will continue to benefit from more stable connections and fewer dropped calls in those areas—a non-trivial benefit for those who are willing or compelled to sacrifice speed for reliability.
Calls Plus Data. One particularly noteworthy distinction between the Verizon and AT&T versions of the iPhone 4 is the Verizon device's inability to simultaneously handle cellular calls and cellular data. If the Verizon iPhone 4 is disconnected from a Wi-Fi network and browsing the web, an incoming call will interrupt whatever Safari is loading, and only resume when the call has ended. Attempt to multitask your way back to the browser and a warning message will appear: "Cellular data connections are not available during this call."
While this isn't an issue when the Verizon iPhone 4 is connected to a Wi-Fi network—it can make and receive cellular calls while using Wi-Fi for data services—this particular limitation disappeared for AT&T users years ago when the iPhone transitioned from EDGE to 3G, enabling simultaneous cellular phone and data use. If the AT&T iPhone 4 is switched to EDGE mode, it doubles its battery life for calling purposes, but loses the simultaneous calling and EDGE data capability. The Verizon iPhone 4 does not have an EDGE/GSM toggle; instead, there's only a Cellular Data on/off switch. It notably can still receive text messages when it's in the middle of web browsing.
Battery Drain. Apple's promised battery life for the Verizon iPhone 4 is identical to the prior GSM version: 7 hours of 3G talk time, 6 hours of 3G data, 10 hours of Wi-Fi data or video playback, and 40 hours of audio playback. Our prior iPhone 4 battery tests established that Apple's numbers were generally right on the money or conservative, and the Verizon iPhone 4's 3G battery drain is virtually identical to the AT&T version's: an automated one-hour Safari web page loading test running on both devices at once knocked 14% off the AT&T iPhone 4's battery and 15% off the Verizon iPhone 4, precisely in line with last year's battery results.
Though most other aspects of battery performance are similar between the original iPhone 4 and the Verizon version, we did note that the Verizon iPhone 4 exhibited less battery drain in an idle state—screen off, 3G on, Wi-Fi off—than the AT&T version under identical conditions. Over a seven-hour period, the Verizon iPhone 4 lost 13% of its power, while the AT&T iPhone 4 lost 19% of its power, which is to say that the fully-recharged Verizon version could sit for roughly 54 hours in this state before requiring charging, and the AT&T version would last closer to 37 hours. Both devices use less power when connected to a Wi-Fi network, which is how they'd most commonly be left at home, so their idle times would increase relative to these baseline "on the road" figures.

Eli Young Band's James Young Getting Married Next Week
Sorry ladies, but the final bachelor of the Eli Young Band will officially be off the market in a little over a week. James Young, the band's guitarist, is set to wed his longtime girlfriend on Saturday, Feb. 4.
"We've got another two-week vacation [for the band now]," Young tells Taste of Country with laughter, as the ongoing band joke is they only get vacations if someone in the band gets hitched. "I'm excited … I'm the last one to fall [laughs]!"
"It's the last vacation we'll ever have," adds drummer Chris Thompson, who was the last member of the band to say "I do" back in September of last year.
The band recently celebrated the upcoming nuptials this past weekend in Destin, Fla. where they had a "bach-party" for the happy couple. "[It was] guys and girls — rented a house, so even when we're off the road, we go on vacation with each other!" says EYB's bassist, Jon Jones. "It's strange."
So with the band on the road as much as they are, how do they continue to keep the romance alive in their relationships with their wives?
"There's still a certain amount of romance in what we get to do … traveling so much and getting to go to these cool cities and such," says Thompson. "My wife and I have had a lot of fun taking two days in New York or things like that. We also married women who have been around us for a while and who really understand what we do. Everything we do was nothing really new to them when they said 'yes' [laughs]."
"They have to be extremely understanding ladies to be able to be with us in the first place with as much as we travel and as much as they have to put up with," notes frontman Mike Eli. "We're actually going to be out on the road on Valentine's Day, so I had to make sure to let [my wife] know that a few times a few months before so we knew exactly how to [make our plans]. It takes planning and communication to make sure you stay on the 'good side!'"
Look for the Eli Young Band to be playing their own headlining dates throughout the year on their Keep on Dreamin' Tour, also featuring newcomer Eric Paslay.

Portland, coined "the City of Roses" is world-famous for its extraordinary Rose Gardens, but the Rose City section is a small, little-known gem of a neighborhood in Northeast Portland. It borders the Beaumont-Wilshire, Cully, and Hollywood communities. Rose City was plotted for Portland maps in 1907, in time for the first Rose Parade, which still takes place every summer in downtown Portland.
The Old-style Portland homes reflect the history of the area and have been well-kept over the last century. In addition to the homes built between 1920s-1940s, home styles include modern bungalows, English cottages, and classic ranches. The Rose City Golf Course, the second oldest municipal course in the city, is located in this area and provides beautiful scenery for a portion of the homes. The transit hub on NE 60th makes Rose City an incredibly easy place to commute to or from without a car, and its proximity to the 84 interstate is convenient for drivers.
Rose City is mostly a residential neighborhood with few commercial buildings. Residents of Rose City ensure that their neighborhood is a vibrant part of the city's cultural landscape with an active neighborhood association that plans regular community events. Neighbored by the Hollywood district, one can spend a day discovering new eateries and shopping. Also nearby, NE Sandy will give one plenty of options for tasty Vietnamese food. At the north boundary of the neighborhood is NE Fremont, a food and drink haven.
Perhaps the biggest draw of the area is Rose City Park, which was acquired in 1920. Go to the annual family event, Picnic-Concerts in the Park, or enjoy the walking and hiking paths and well-equipped sports court any day of the year. The neighborhood also includes Frazer Park, Normandale Park and the western part of the Rose City Golf Course, whose clubhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
Private mortgage insurance is an insurance policy that a residential mortgage lender requires of the borrower if the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the home is greater than 80%. Mortgage insurance protects the lender from the risk that the borrower may default on the loan. Federal law requires lenders to notify borrowers when the loan-to-value ratio drops below 80%. Mortgage insurance premiums vary, but generally range from $1,000 to $5,000 a year for an average priced home.

PLAINVIEW – A former Wayland Baptist University leader returned to campus recently and received a surprise in the form of a plaque. The Association of Former Students presented President Emeritus Dr. Roy McClung, who served from 1963 to 1980, with the Distinguished Lifetime Service Alumni Award.
Presented during a luncheon of administrators and good friends, the award marked decades of service to Wayland both during his administration and in the years following.
"After his retirement, Dr. McClung continued his service to Wayland in many ways. He has been a source of encouragement and support to presidents who have followed him. When requested, he has offered advice, counsel and guidance to members of his Wayland family," said Joe Provence, director of alumni services, in presenting the award. "His interest in, his prayer support of and his financial contributions to the University have never wavered."
McClung received the award with humility and his usual humor. He spoke with love for the university and its current leadership and what it continues to do.
"My life has been enriched by the experience of Wayland, far beyond what words can say," McClung said. "This is a God-given, God-supported institution, and Wayland has played a tremendous part in the development of Christian men and women in West Texas and beyond, some that we may not know until Judgment Day."
The citation noted McClung's accomplishments during his presidency, a 17-year term that was the second longest for any CEO in Wayland's 98-year history. During those years, he led Wayland in a significant building program, overseeing construction of Harral Memorial Auditorium, Hutcherson Physical Education Center, Moody Science Center, Caprock Hall and the Museum of the Llano Estacado.
He was enlisted in the early 1990s to serve as a leader in the Spanning the Centuries Campaign that led to the completion of the Mabee Learning Resources Center. In the fall of 2005, McClung lent his voice to a recorded message encouraging financial support for the university and sent to thousands of Wayland alums.
For his commitment and contribution to Christian higher education, McClung received the Texas Baptist Elder Statesman Award in 1999 from the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Prior to his presidency, McClung served as pastor at First Baptist Church in Plainview from 1958-63.
McClung is retired and living in Louisville, Ky.

Chris Brown may have faked court-ordered community service records, violated probation
The L.A. County District Attorney has filed legal documents claiming Chris Brown has violated his probation by submitting bogus community service records ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned the D.A. is alleging in legal docs Chris Brown may have LIED when he claimed he had performed all of his community service in connection with the Rihanna beating case.
Bryan T. Norwood, the Chief of Police in Richmond, VA., wrote a letter to the judge on September 14, claiming Brown successfully completed 202 days of community service -- he was only required to perform 180.
Norwood attached documents showing that Brown frequently worked at Tappahannock Children's Center -- a place where Brown's mom was once a director -- and did odd jobs such as painting, washing windows, waxing floors, cutting grass and picking up trash.
The judge was suspicious when the document was filed, and sources tell us the D.A. began investigating and found no "credible, competent or verifiable evidence" that Brown did the 180 days community service.
Sources tell TMZ ... there's no way Chris could have performed community service on some of the days, because he was out of the country doing concerts.
The D.A. calls Chris' documentation "at best sloppy ... and at worst fraudulent reporting."
The D.A. is asking the judge to reject Chris' alleged Virginia community service hours and make him fulfill his obligation in L.A. County.
By the way, the D.A. claims Chris' mom was responsible for orchestrating work at the Children's Center outside of normal operating hours and a key administrator told the D.A. she NEVER saw Chris perform any work at the center.
ETA from TMZ on Twitter: HarveyLevinTMZ (Harvey Levin )
Unbelievable! In one case Brown said he was picking up garbage when he was flying on a private jet to Cancun.

Game 1
New Jersey City, 12 (8 innings)
Farmingdale State, 7
Game 2
New Jersey City, 8 (6 innings/darkness)
Farmingdale State, 0
Farmingdale, NY - The New Jersey City Gothic Knights (7-5) won both games of todays non-conference baseball double-header against Farmingdale State (1-8) in Farmingdale, NY. The games were originally scheduled for noon, but the heavy rains caused the games to be delayed until 1:30pm.
In the first game, the Rams led 7-3 after four innings, but NJCU fought back with one run in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh to tie the score at 7-7 and force extra innings. NJCU would score five runs in the eighth inning and hold Farmingdale scoreless for the 12-7 victory. Junior Matt Caravano (Elizabeth, NJ/Roselle Catholic) led NJCU with three runs batted in and four hits. Junior Rob Motacki (Union, NJ/Union) got the win for NJCU, after allowing only one hit in the final four innings pitched. Sophomore Rich Santoro (Massapequa, NY/Massapequa) and junior John Basquez (Sunnyside, NY/Cordoza) led the Rams with two hits each, while junior Nick Barone (North Babylon, NY/North Babylon) had a 2-run triple in the first inning.
Game two was called because of darkness in the bottom of the sixth. New Jersey City took a quick 2-0 lead after the first and added six more over the final five innings for an 8-0 victory. Senior captain Javan Camacho (Jersey City, NJ/Ferris) led the team with three hits and three runs batted in. Sophomore Marcus Wiggins (Jersey City, NJ/Lincoln) allowed just four hits in the shutout win.
The Rams now host Cazenovia, Old Westbury, SUNY IT and Baruch next weekend in round-robin games on Saturday and Sunday, March 18-19th. Farmingdale State plays Cazenovia in a double-header starting at 10:00am, with a single game between Old Westbury and SUNY IT to follow at 3:00pm. On Sunday, the Rams face SUNY IT at 11:00am for a single game, followed by a single game between Old Westbury and Baruch at 3:00pm.

Dear McRib,
Word on the street is that you have been discontinued, again. Is it true? I've been trying to avoid you, but you are on TV, blogs, websites, newspapers… everywhere. I am a healthy eater, so I'm not interested in you; in fact I'm very afraid of your processed pork-like, rib-shaped patty. People love you and I don't understand why. You have an astronomical 70 ingredients, a far cry from Michael Pollan's rule – "Don't eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce." You were created in 1981 and discontinued only a few years later due to bad sales, but now… people are rioting for your return! You are a hot topic on Twitter #McRib, not just a hashtag, but people (or marketers?) have dedicated handles to you: @McRibWatch and @McRibLocator (of the McRib Locator website)! And while your McRib farewell tours started back in 2005, Ask.com predicts your permanent return to the menu in 2012 (say it isn't so!).
McRib, you are made of pork from Smithfield, which was awarded a "supplier sustainability award" in 2008 by McDonald's themselves. But the Humane Society still strongly disagrees with the award, going so far as to file a legal complaint with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission this year, accusing Smithfield of misleading consumers about its welfare practices. But your fans don't seem to care. They also don't seem to care about what your rib-less rib patty is actually made from. McDonald's lists the ingredients of the actual patty as, "Pork, water, salt, dextrose, preservatives (BHA, propyl gallate, citric acid)," but there is speculation about what parts of the "pork" are included – mostly offal (internal organs and entrails, and I've read some worse accusations). Even the bun and sauce are full of things that every human should avoid: high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean and/or cottonseed oils, ammonium sulfate, soy flour, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide) – and the list goes on. All of these below par ingredients add up to 450 (some say 500 ) calories, 24 grams of fat, 890 mg of sodium, not the most healthy meal around.
Everyone is talking about you McRib (whether good or bad) – you have a lengthy wikipedia page and have been mentioned in USA Today, LA Times, Huffington Post, The Week, Fox News, NPR, Freakonomics and The Washington Post among many more. McRib, you were only supposed to be available this year until November 14th, but there are still spottings of you around the country. Your frozen patties must be running out, but not as fast as predicted (maybe this is all just McHype?). Please, please run out so that we can all just eat more kale.

Online Baseball Tickets Not Always Best Deals

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Thursday, September 8, 2011
John: You Must Acquit
Harvard Law student John Cochran was born into his vocation. With a name like Johnny Cochran, you can't not be a lawyer. It's like a girl named Destiny not being a stripper or a guy named Jeeves not being a butler. Johnny Boy had no choice but to study the law and study the law he shall.
A Northern Virginia boy (holla!), Johnny describes himself as neurotic, insecure, and brilliant. *smiles* Bless you Johnny, bless you. I think we're going to have a lot of fun together this season. It's that sort of honesty and quirkiness that I embrace. I predict he's nerdy to the core, probably eccentric as hell, and I'm betting on an interesting mix of insecurity and narcissism that only a really smart yet insanely awkward person can deliver. Let's see if I'm right:
Yup. Nailed it. *rubs hands together* Delicious. I'm predicting clumsiness coupled with a resentful vindictiveness. It'll be interesting to see how he maneuvers himself within the game and whether or not he has the ability to mindfuck players within an inch of their lives. Good luck Johnny. You're going to need it.
The cast is looking up, don't you think?

I've never been a Survivor fan, but reading your blog makes me wonder how much I've missed! Started watching last season, but after Matt went to Redemption Islan AGAIN I honestly couldn't bear to watch lol. Can't wait to watch this season and read your awesome blog!! Keep 'em coming Miss Lala :)ReplyDelete
Its like Woody Allen turned 22 and went on Survivor. I hope he brought some sunscreen. I worry about Howdy in all that sunlight.ReplyDelete

I'm with you LaLa, I likes him. He has great potential but like the man says, he's gotta make it past the early days yet. Hopefully we'll get to see a Geek V Jock showdown, the likes of which we haven't seen since Yau-Man in Fiji.ReplyDelete

Adorable. I LUV this guy. His tribemates better not boot him out first. If he can make it past the first vote, he'll make friends and probably stick around. JohnBoy will be entertaining as hell.ReplyDelete
Rarely does reality-TV show us a person with this level of self-awareness and self-acceptance. And he's articulate too. Goody-goody gumdrops! I'm so, so, so excited to see that casting is able to enlist someone who does not fit the California-wanna-be-actor/model mold. I love the Yao-man's, the Sue's, and even the Rudy's. Good stuff. Real people who really want to play and win--and not just be on TV.

Something Old, Something New: Talking About Marriage
April 23, 2014
EDITORS' NOTE: This guest post was written by Thalia Zepatos, Director of Public Engagement at Freedom to Marry and Sean Lund, Messaging Research Director at the Movement Advancement Project
Today's oral arguments in the Oregon federal marriage case are the latest in a landmark series of cases (including arguments earlier this month before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for cases involving federal challenges to marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma) that are poised to expand the number of Americans who, after decades of dedicated struggle, may soon be free to marry.
The fact that marriage in Oregon is now before the court is particularly sweet, given the significant role that advocates and couples in Oregon have played in helping shape the discussion about marriage over the past several years. In 2010, a coalition of Oregon leaders and national partners launched a multi-year effort to expand the public conversation around marriage. Using expert researchers, large-scale field outreach and a highly visible bilingual public education effort, the Why Marriage Matters campaign has become a model for marriage persuasion efforts that continue to be used across the country. (Videos from the campaign are still available online here and here.)
Our movement's current conversation about marriage has been informed by efforts like those in Oregon and in other states across the U.S. (including work by national partners at organizations like the ACLU, GLAAD, GLAD, Third Way and others). As two of the organizations that have long been involved in messaging research, Freedom to Marry and the Movement Advancement Project have been continuously working to refine and expand the growing conversation around marriage. The new edition of An Ally's Guide to Talking About Marriage for Same-Sex Couples, released today, pulls together the latest insights, learnings and conversation approaches that are successfully helping to open people's hearts and minds across geographic boundaries, political parties, generations and faith traditions.
Recommendations from the New Guide:
• Focus on the core values of marriage, such as love and commitment, shared by opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples alike—rather than talking about marriage as a right or as a package of benefits;
• Emphasize why caring people don't deny others the chance at happiness in marriage;
• Affirm our shared values of freedom, treating others as we want to be treated, and not sitting in judgment of others; and
• Share the stories of those who have gone on the journey towards greater acceptance of same-sex couples.
Lessons from the Ballot:
Updated for 2014, the latest version of the Ally's Guide includes examples and lessons learned from the successful campaigns in Maine, Minnesota and Washington.
"In 2012, we learned that Minnesotans were not only ready for a conversation about marriage, they were ready for the freedom to marry as well," said Richard Carlbom, director of Minnesotans United for All Families, the successful 2012 ballot campaign to defeat that state's proposed marriage ban, and now Director of State Campaigns for Freedom to Marry. "It's exciting to be able to look at the advances in the marriage discussion over the past several years, and draw from those to provide an up-to-date resource for allies and advocates alike."
"When people who support marriage have conversations with people who are conflicted, that's where change can happen," said Thomas Wheatley, Director of Organizing at Freedom to Marry who was part of the Basic Rights Oregon team that helped develop the Oregon campaign. "These conversations aren't always easy or comfortable. But as we've seen in Oregon and across the country, when we meet people where they're at and talk authentically about why marriage matters, we build support that lasts."
"The conversation about marriage has come a long way in the past few years, but it's not over yet," said Matt McTighe, who led the Mainers United for Marriage campaign. "We learned so much from the work that had been done before us, and it's exciting to see that what we learned and did is now helping to shape the way we talk about marriage today."

Hey There!
Welcome to "Daily Health", a Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) based wellness center for weight management and stress management in a natural way. I am Dr Sumon MSH, a medical doctor, and a Specialist in Clinical Neurophysiology and also a Clinical Hypnotherapist. Since STRESS is the root cause of many neurological diseases, I've developed my passion in Lifestyle Medicine to help people in managing their stress in a Natural Way.
I use Neuroscience based MindTrance, Subliminal Mind Reprogramming and Brain Wave Entrainment for this purpose. I am helping people for stress management, weight management and quitting bad habits since 2010. I help people to change their life by transforming their relationship body and mind so that they can achieve their desired goal easily.
For weight management, I not only help them figure out what food works for their unique body, but just as important, I help them uncover the mindset they need to follow through on those life changing intentions. I provide the psychological tools and nutritional steps (if you want to go that route) that help you get unstuck. This means you get a fresh perspective and renewed energy to support you in making changes that actually feel good to make.
My work will uncover your inspiration, without forcing you to eat twigs or do exercise you hate. Using the guiding principle of pleasure and intuition, I will find what thoughts, food and movement truly nourish you. As you align your inner life, you let go of disparaging beliefs and sabotaging behaviors that have kept you stuck for years. This means you get your body and your life back, so you can rock your world.
I will work on 3 aspects: physical, mental and spiritual. My job is to look at your life and help illuminate your life lessons. From there, I support you with the mind-body shifts and practical steps that move you towards how you really want to feel.
An example of how we might work with this:
On an physical level – We will uncover the foods you eat that "space you out" and make you feel like a victim or a junkie. We will also discover foods that give you options to feel more grounded, empowered and clear.
On a Mental and Emotional level – We will explore thoughts, words and actions you can take to transition smoothly from old habits of betraying yourself to new ones that support you feeling empowered.
On a Spiritual level – We will unveil the subconscious beliefs that keep you from making clear boundaries and connect you with your wisdom so you don't need cookies to escape. Additionally, we will look at the potential for spiritual growth that emerges from facing the "problem."
Great, Dr Sumon how do I get started?
The quickest way to start is to contact me directly

Checking in on… the Atlantic SunPosted by Brian Goodman on November 27th, 2010
Bucky Dent is the RTC correspondent for the Atlantic Sun Conference. [ed note: this post was written prior to the Nov. 26-28 games]
A Look Back
- Tommy Hubbard Injured: East Tennessee State forward Tommy Hubbard is battling knee problems which have kept him out of two games and hampered him in the only game he played, a Nov. 15 loss at Murray State. While the Buccaneers have enough depth to still field a solid lineup, they don't want to think about life without Hubbard, their best defensive player and top scorer last year when they won the A-Sun tourney as a five seed. This puts more pressure on Mike Smith, Micah Williams and Justin Tubbs to score the ball without Hubbard's presence.
- TV league Upsets: In the first two weeks of the season, A-Sun teams have already scored three attention-grabbing upsets over Power Six foes. Stetson outran and outscored Wake Forest 89-79 Nov. 12, followed by Kennesaw State's 80-63 whacking of Georgia Tech Nov. 15 (think the Yellow Jackets will ever play in Kennesaw again?). Campbell followed with a 61-54 win at Auburn Nov. 20. One thing all three A-Sun teams have in common: they also lost their next game after those big victories.
- Player of the Week: Lorne Merthie, Campbell – A streaky shooter, Merthie was on during the Camels' 2-1 showing in a tournament at Auburn, averaging 15.7 points per game. Merthie also picked up four steals against the Tigers, while tallying 22 points and drilling 4-4 three-pointers in a narrow loss to Samford. Just missing the gold medal were Spencer Dixon and Ridge Graham. Dixon's 27-point outburst spearheaded Kennesaw State's epic drilling of Georgia Tech, while the ultra-athletic Graham went for a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double in the Hatters' victory at Wake Forest.
Power Rankings
1. Belmont (3-1)
Next Week: 11/29 at Tennessee State, 12/2 vs. Mercer
This has a chance to be the best team of coach Rick Byrd's 25 seasons in Nashville. The Bruins have excellent length and play fundamentally sound defense, forcing teams to take one well-contested shot, then finish the possession with a rebound. The offense is averaging 85.5 ppg in the first four games behind sophomore guard Ian Clark, who would have Dick Vitale screaming his name if he played in a bigger league. Inside, Belmont can count on Mick Hedgepeth and Scott Saunders, who are very productive as long as they can stay out of foul trouble, which isn't a given. Point guard Drew Hanlen provides an outrageous 22-to-1 assist-turnover ratio and is a knockdown shooter from the three-point line. Eleven different players are averaging double-figure minutes, making this the league's deepest and best team as we gird for conference openers next week.
2. East Tennessee State (1-2)
Next Week: 11/27 vs. Milligan, 12/1 at Dayton
When rating teams in this conference, one has to keep the big picture in mind. While the Buccaneers' record isn't impressive, consider their losses are at Kentucky and Murray State. Not too many teams anywhere would avoid a sweep in Lexington or Murray. Coach Murry Bartow just wants to weather the December storm (i.e. eight straight road games) and come out of it with his team healthy. The key will be getting Tommy Hubbard back from his knee woes. Mike Smith appears to be 100% after last year's injury nightmare, torching Tennessee Tech for an easy 26 points in a 73-60 win Nov. 20. ETSU remains one of the league's top defensive teams, doing it with a variety of zones devised by assistant coach Scott Wagers, who basically runs the defense. If it can get reasonable point guard play and get Hubbard healthy, it will challenge for a third straight NCAA Tourney bid.
3. Lipscomb (2-2)
Next week: 11/27 at UT-Martin
Mixed returns so far for the Bisons, which were competitive in losses at major powers North Carolina and Baylor but still aren't playing good enough defense, allowing opponents to shoot 46.9 percent from the floor and average 82.8 points per game. The good news is Lipscomb's offense isn't running at full efficiency yet but is still scoring 83.2 points per game. The 1-2 senior punch of Adnan Hodzic and Josh Slater is performing as one would expect, combining to score nearly 38 PPG. Hodzic has become a better passer out of double-teams early this year and is also hitting 80 percent at the foul line, his career best. Freshman guard Robert Boyd is providing a spark off the bench, averaging 10.5 points and 2.5 steals per game.
4. Jacksonville (3-1)
Next Week: 11/27 at Auburn, 12/2 vs. Stetson
Last year at this time, the Dolphins had overscheduled and were getting blown out on a regular basis, although they bounced back to tie for the regular season title and win a first round NIT game at Arizona State. This year, with a less experienced team and a more reasonable schedule, they've started 3-1. The star player is definitely Ayron Hardy, who, if you were playing A-Sun fantasy basketball (and if you are, you've got too much time on your hands), would be your No. 1 overall pick. All he's done in four games is average 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.8 steals and 1.8 blocked shots. Besides Hardy's all-around excellence, Jacksonville is getting much-improved production from sophomore forward Glenn Powell, who's averaging 12.8 points and hitting 64.5 percent from the field. The defense is allowing just 66.8 ppg and forcing nearly 21 turnovers per game. Don't sleep on these guys in this league.
5. North Florida: (3-3)
Next Week: 12/2 vs. Florida Gulf Coast
It is a good sign for this program that it's 3-3 after a brutal six-game road trip to start the year. Tossing out blowout losses against top-flight programs in Florida State, Pittsburgh and Missouri isn't easy, but the Ospreys were impressive on the defensive end in a 59-52 win Nov. 24 against MEAC kingpin Morgan State in Cancun. Sophomore forward Andres Diaz has become more of a scoring threat inside at 11.8 points per game, although he remains a brutal foul shooter at 47.8%. Tennessee State transfer Parker Smith has given this offense-starved squad scoring punch off the bench (11.5 ppg, 38.1 percent 3-pointers). Second-year coach Matt Driscoll, who helped Scott Drew rebuild the Baylor program, has quietly built a nice foundation in his own program.
6. Campbell: (2-3)
Next Week: 11/27 vs. Longwood, 11/29 vs. Johnson C. Smith
With a bunch of new players trying to find roles alongside a veteran backcourt, it might be until January before we know who the Camels are. Guards Lorne Merthie and Junard Hartley supply perimeter scoring punch and excellent defense, in that order. Junior college transfer Eric Griffin is the team's leading scorer and rebounded through five games, although he's making less than 43% of his shots. The roster's remainder is a bunch of decent role players who rarely go above or beyond what they can do. Tune in about six weeks from now and you'll know about the Camels.
7. Kennesaw State (2-4)
Next week: 11/26 at Creighton
When their shots are dropping, the Owls can beat anyone, like the ACC's Georgia Tech. When they aren't, they can lose to anyone, like Alabama State, and lose by 40 at mediocre Iowa State. If nothing else, the current four-game losing streak is a reminder that coach Tony Ingle still has a bunch of sophomores who have growing to do at this level. The biggest things Kennesaw State must fix are defense and rebounding. It's allowing opponents to hit nearly 46 percent from the floor, including 41.2% on 3-pointers, and is being outboarded by nearly four per game. Improvement in those areas might mean not being so shot-dependant.
8. Stetson (1-2)
Next week: 11/26 vs. Palm Beach Atlantic, 11/30 vs. Savannah State, 12/2 at Jacksonville
The win over Wake Forest resonated throughout the conference, but losses to Bethune-Cookman and Central Florida were a reminder that rebuilding remains for the Hatters. With sophomore forward Ridge Graham providing a double-double threat on a nightly basis, this team has a go-to option on the offensive end. Two other sophomores — Tyshawn Patterson and Joel Naburgs — are also scoring in double figures. The down side is the team's defense, which is allowing opponents to shoot 45% from the field and score nearly 81 points per game. But there is a future for Stetson, as this league will find out a year or two from now.
9. Mercer: (1-3)
Next week: 11/26 vs. Western Carolina (Williamsburg, Va.), 11/27 at William & Mary, 11/28 vs. Gardner-Webb (Williamsburg, Va.), 12/2 at Belmont
Where have you gone, James Florence, Daniel Emerson and E.J. Kusnyer? Without three players which combined for more than 44 points per game last year, the Bears are off to a sub-.500 start which doesn't look like it will get a lot better. There are a couple of decent weapons in Brandon Moore and Jeff Smith, who are averaging a combined 28.5 ppg. But as a whole, Mercer doesn't shoot well, especially from three-point range (21-of-90), and isn't playing well enough on the defensive end (45 percent shooting, 71.2 ppg allowed). The Bears will have to fight just to make the conference tournament on their home floor.
10. Florida Gulf Coast: (2-2)
Next week: 11/27 vs. Miami (Fla.), 12/2 at North Florida
The record looks OK, but the two losses — 88-60 at Indiana and 90-47 at Arkansas — reveal that this team is still second-division material in the A-Sun. Good news is that guard Reed Baker has found his missing shot of a year ago, as he's averaging 19.5 ppg and went for 33 in a win at Grambling. But this is still a below-average team offensively (39.6 percent from the floor, 10-of-56 on 3s) and a poor team on defense (49.4 opponents' field goal percentage, 81.5 ppg). While Ole Miss transfer Kevin Cantinol will help this team get tougher inside when he becomes eligible next month, he probably won't make the difference between mediocrity and respectability.
11. USC Upstate: (0-6)
Next Week: Nov. 29 vs. UNC Asheville
There have been bright spots, such as the development of freshman forward Torrey Craig, as well as a nine-block shot performance from freshman Babatunde Olumyiwa in a Nov. 23 loss at South Carolina. But the Spartans are easily the conference's worst team, one which won't be favored in any game it plays this year. Not to pile on too much, but they might be the worst offensive team in America as they are scoring just 51.3 ppg and shooting just 31 percent from the field. Like a minor league baseball team, Upstate should concentrate more on player development and less on the record, although it would love to get that zero out of the win column sometime.
Playing the Percentages
Every week, we'll look at an intriguing individual or team stat and determine fluke or trend. This week, it's the three-point accuracy of USC Upstate guard Josh Chavis. A 37.9 percent shooter last year, when he canned ten threes in a game against Florida Gulf Coast, Chavis is colder than Siberia. The 5'9 senior is sinking just 5-of-30 from the arc and is a hideous 5-of-40 overall. We're saying fluke for now because his career numbers aren't close to being this bad. Keep on shooting, kid.
A Look Ahead
- Conference play opens up on a limited basis next week. Belmont starts A-Sun play at home with struggling Mercer, which doesn't look like a fair fight. Jacksonville welcomes Stetson to town for each team's first A-Sun game. Can the Hatters keep their turnovers down against the very athletic Dolphins?
- North Florida finally plays its home opener after six straight away from Jacksonville as it takes on A-Sun rival Florida Gulf Coast.
- East Tennessee State begins a brutal eight-game road trip against a Dayton team which needs every win it can get as it tries to reach the NCAA Tournament. This would be a nice "statement" game for the Buccaneers.

Changes Enhance Foundation for the Future Policy Proposal
Today, National Milk Producers Federation's board of directors voted to incorporate important changes into the Foundation for the Future dairy policy reform proposal.
As part of the proposed changes, the basic coverage of the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Program will be set at 80 percent of base production. Additionally, producers will have the option of purchasing supplemental coverage on up to 90 percent of their base production as adjusted for milk production growth.
The Dairy Market Stabilization Program has been made voluntary, offering producers options for managing risk on their operations. The Federal Order proposal has been simplified and is limited to requesting the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a hearing to change the current end product pricing formula for Class III to a competitive price.
These changes are expected to result in similar changes to the draft dairy policy reform legislation released by Reps. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and Mike Simpson (R-Idaho).
"We support the changes to the Foundation for the Future policy proposal, which provide producers more options to protect their margins and strengthen our ability to export. We applaud National Milk Producers Federation's board and management for their efforts.
Additionally, we appreciate Reps. Peterson and Simpson for leading dairy reform efforts on Capitol Hill and urge other members of Congress to cosponsor their bill, which is modeled after this policy proposal.
Dairy producers have been discussing needed changes to dairy policy for more than two years. It is extremely gratifying to be part of this effort and to see this proposal — which so many have contributed to — be presented to Congress with such positive momentum."

Moving ahead in our look of Mikoski's volume, we now address the "trinitarian structure" of baptism. Mikoski initially focuses on the language used in the liturgy noting the prominence of the Trinity: "What makes the rite a distinctively Christian washing has to do with the linkage of the act of washing and the narrative of the economy of the Triune God's dealings with humanity across the sweep of history" (28). Mikoski continues:
When set in the context of the proclamation and prayers of the church to the Triune God, the water becomes an instrument of Triune transformation in the baptizand's life. By the work of the Holy Spirit and through the will of the Father, baptized persons are united with Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection. The gathered community prays with the presiding pastor that through this liturgical event the Holy Spirit will bring the baptizand to rebirth into a life of faithful discipleship in relation to Jesus Christ and to the glory of the Father. In some fashion or another, the water ceremony seeks to fund and shape the many patterns of everyday ritualizations that make up Christian daily life" (31).
There seems to be a line Mikoski jumps back and forth over, which is the ordering of God and man's action in relation to baptism. The emphasis starts on God's action by focusing on the work of the Holy Spirit and the will of the Father, but then seems to come at it from another angle, claiming that it is through this liturgical event that the Holy Spirit works. Furthermore, he makes explicit what was implicit in my last post, that baptism functions as a "patterning" of Christian ritual life. It is unclear what register Mikoski is working in. Is he simply exploring liturgical categories? Is he actually focusing on ontological claims about God and man? Is he using ontologically charged language to talk about specific epistemological categories? Confusion continues to reign when he states,
Beginning with baptism and working outward, so to speak, the doctrine of the Trinity aims to function as a crucial part of the formation of individuals and communities. Baptism links the Trinity to concrete, embodied, historical people and communities and the lives they lead. Viewed through the lens provided by the baptismal rite, the doctrine of the Trinity ceases to function as a complicated abstraction and becomes the deep grammar for a whole way of life" (32).
So what is going on here? My interpretation is that Mikoski equivocates on his use of the term "Trinity." He seems to be functioning in something of a narrative framework, seeking meaning through a liturgical-narrative that necessitates a functionalizing of the Trinity to make practice trinitarian. This is not to say that he does not affirm a truly ontological Trinity, I'm certain he does, but for the sake of the ecclesial life trinitarian doctrine functions to order language and practice. Notice his language that the doctrine of the Trinity "aims to function," and that used this way it "ceases to function as a complicated abstraction." This, and the point he makes about linking the Trinity to concrete people and communities, points to a functionalizing of the doctrine for the purpose of practice. He then reemphaszies his point, "To reiterate: pursued by way of the baptismal rite with its deep trinitarian grammatical structure, the doctrine of the Trinity becomes a pervasive grammar for an entire way of life" (34). Explained here, it is as if the Trinity becomes "a grammar," in the sense of what we would call a school book teaching language. Once we learn the right grammar, we can function within the language contructs creatively. Mikoski seems to be implying that this is true in baptism. Baptism becomes the pedagogical action through which we learn trinitarian grammar, so that we can function within the narrative economy of the triune God.
Does that make sense? I'm not thrilled about this kind of usage of the Trinity. What are your thoughts about this approach?

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — McKesson Corp. will pay $190 million to settle government allegations that the drug distribution giant improperly inflated drug prices that led to overbilling the Medicaid system.
The Justice Department had charged the San Francisco-based company inflated the prices reported to the publisher used by Medicaid systems throughout the country to gauge prescription reimbursements. McKesson MCK, +0.87% shares were down marginally to $91.27 following the announcement of the settlement.
Falsely claiming higher prices caused excessive increases in the average wholesale price of some brand-name drugs, Justice officials said.
McKesson didn't admit to any liability regarding the claims.
"We did not manipulate drug prices, and did not violate any laws," the company said in a written statement. "However, when we weighed our conviction that we did not violate any laws against the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we determined that this settlement was in the best interest of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders."
The Justice Department had said McKesson — the 15th largest company on the Fortune 500 with more than $100 billion in annual sales — was just the latest example of a company manipulating the system by which pharmaceuticals are purchased.
"Our analyses of drug price reporting practices — including the use of 'Average Wholesale Price' — have consistently identified excessive Medicare and Medicaid payments resulting from these practices," Daniel R. Levinson, inspector general for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said in a written statement.
In other health-care news, insurer Aetna Inc. AET, +0.00% fell nearly 11% at one point, but ended the day down 8% to $45.31 after the company reported earnings that fell short of forecasts, and it dragged much of the sector down with it. Read a WSJ news story about the report.
Aetna said net income for the first quarter was $511 million, or $1.43 a share, compared with $586 million, or $1.50 a share, for the same period a year ago. Sales were $8.86 billion against last year's $8.35 billion.
Adjusted earnings were $1.43 a share, which fell short of the $1.40 estimate from analysts polled by FactSet Research. That, plus a report from the Kaiser Family Foundation that says health insurers may have to rebate more than $1 billion to policyholders under the Affordable Care Act, spurred broad losses for the sector's stocks.
Among major firms, WellPoint Inc. WLP and Cigna Corp. CI, +2.94% were down roughly 1.5%. UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH, +2.19% was off nearly 1%.
Smaller insurers also felt the pinch. Coventry Health Care Inc. CV.H, -25.00% , Amerigroup Corp. AGP, +0.00% , WellCare Health Plans Inc. WCG, +1.99% and Universal American Corp. UAM all dipped by 2% to 3%.

The lights were still out at the General Services Administration and two other federal buildings Wednesday afternoon and Pepco, Washington's main electricity provider, didn't have a firm answer on when power would be restored.
In the meantime, employees are teleworking or on administrative leave, spokespeople said.
The other affected federal buildings are the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. All three buildings are located within about half a mile of each other near First Street in northeast Washington.
Pepco had located and repaired several damaged underground lines that caused the outage but had not yet located other damaged lines, according to a statement.
The company said it hoped to have a better estimate on when power would be restored by Wednesday evening and was responding to customer complaints on Twitter.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 74 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
ExposureManager is an online service allowing professional photographers to display and sell their images online (also known as 'online proofing'). We set ourselves apart in that we have significantly more business tools than our competitors such as
Online proofing (image display + sales)
Pro lab fulfillment (photo printing)
Discount promotions (volume discounts, coupons, free shipping)
Keeping track of customer favorites
Vouchers (certificates photographers can use for offline sales)
Being able to see a customer's favorites and cart
Automated e-mail campaigns (such purchase reminders)
Photo packages
We are moving from the "teamwork" theme to featuring our "business tools" as our top selling point.
We are targeting professional photographers seeking not only a place to display and sell their images online but a true 'businessman' photographer who is seeking more from their service than simply "how pretty can you make me look". However, it is important to note that a large portion of our business is female. This photographer is looking to establish or improve a business using classic business tools that are built into their system. These tools save them time by not having to do it elsewhere/separately and make them money.
We'd like the home page to appeal to business people. I don't want it to be so 'overly business-y' that it scares off the less savvy searcher however it needs to be interesting.
The main headline is:
Business tools for photographers that work
The main intro text is:
Let our proven business tools convert visitors into your customers. Find out how we'll improve your business - guaranteed!
Alternative intro text:
Make online proofing easy for your clients. Find out how our tools will maximize revenue from each client and improve your business - guaranteed!
Other requirements in Page Details.
Please do not use existing image of bicyclist.
Use existing background/logo/tabs (those are all set). Referring to the existing home page image, we'd like everything changed from the image (just below the tabs) down to where the Facebook logo appears (that area can stay, including the Live Chat area - OK to change it however they must be included).
1(A) Large custom graphic capturing the 'feel' of the business tools (our specific tools are listed in "Tell us About Yourself") yet perhaps still somehow creative enough to incorporate photography (but not necessary)
1(B) "rotating" flash graphics/images that feature the various tools listed.
2. We'd like to somehow "connect with" the different types of photographers that will visit the site so that they can tell they have a 'home' here: Wedding and Portrait Photographers, Sports and Event Photographers and there needs to be a "learn more" type button(s) that we can utilize to direct the visitor to the next sub-landing page that is specific to their work.
3. would like a 'sign up now' button that can be carried throughout the site.
4. must have log-in for existing customers
5. must have the Facebook and LiveChat areas (can be modified)
We'd like it to be clean but not boring :)
http://www.exposuremanager.com and the sample file(s) attached.
We changed directions after the design moving away from the "teamwork" theme. We'd like to keep the black/dark background.

Good readers are always asking themselves questions before reading, during reading and after reading. In this blog, I will discuss how to help English language learners learn to use this strategy. It's difficult for ELLs to ask questions about a topic for which they have no background knowledge.
Let's peek in Mrs. Mahoney's 6th grade social studies class and observe as she discusses the title of a nonfiction book about the Underground Railroad. Mrs. Mahoney modeled "I wonder" questions for the students. Maria, an English language learner in the class, wondered how a railroad could really be underground. It was apparent that she knew the meaning of the words "underground" and "railroad" but had a lot of difficulty with the concept. Through picture books and reading material on her reading level, Maria was able to participate in this discussion.
Hyung Jae, another ELL in Mrs. Mahoney's class, read an entire book at home about the American Civil War in Korean. This background information gave him a springboard for asking questions. Although his language was still quite limited,he developed the schema that he needed to participate in the social studies lesson. The important point is that the ELLs in Mrs. Mahoney's class were able to read about the topic on their own level or in their own language and ask questions that were on their English language levels. They were able to follow much of the class discussion and pose simple "I wonder" questions such as "Why is this family running away?" "Were the people afraid?" Also, they were able to participate because their teacher had made a point to teach her students about the ways to respond to "I wonder" statements. The teacher modeled these questioning strategies and Maria and Hyung-Jae were able to draw from her examples.
English language learners may not be able to ask questions about the author's language or vocabulary in the same the way that proficient English native speakers do. However, they can begin to make a habit of questioning and this habit will improve their capacity for understanding and thus support their becoming more proficient readers of English text. It is important to emphasis with ELLs that they need to voice what they don't understand and use reading strategies to figure out answers.
Here are some questions to help your ELLs get started.
• Ask students to predict what the story will be about based on the title and/or a picture on the cover. This is a strategy that can be used at all grade levels.
• Explain that a prediction is a guess. It doesn't have to be correct. It just needs to make sense. Help students to become aware that their predictions might change as they read.
• Help ELLs identify "stopping places" in the text where they may have questions or should make predictions. Ask them to mark these places with sticky notes or write about them in their reading notebook. This will help ELLs to become better readers and supports their reading comprehension.

Benefits of Yoga and Meditations
The many practices of yoga are designed to help the body and mind meet every situation that arises in life from moment to moment.The purpose of Yoga and Meditationasanas is to keep the body healthy and supple enough to sit comfortably and practice pranayamas (breathing) and meditation practices that calm and still the mind.Yoga often begins with the body because most people can identify with the body very easily. Most of our awareness, in fact, revolves around physical conditions and desires. As such most yoga today is done with physical outcomes in mind. People tend to identify with the body in the initial stages of yoga and work with the body using asanas, pranayamas and other Hatha Yoga practices. There are two types of meditation active and passive.Active meditation relates to activities of everyday life such as walking, working, eating etc.This in fact is the aim of Yoga, to experience a meditative state in everyday life which has the effect of increasing performance manifold as the work is done with more efficiency and energy.To achieve active meditation, passive meditation is required which involves taking time out to be seated and perform Meditation Techniques or practices. This is called passive as it involves withdrawing ourselves in calm, sitting postures to achieve a meditative state that can help us in our active life.The aim of all passive meditation techniques is to still the mind from wavering and distracting thoughts and gradually make it one pointed.Passive Meditation Techniques though of many kinds, essentially have the same modus operandi:Stage 1: Introversion: Involves seating postures and awareness on an object. This has the effect of calming the mind and making it receptive to see what's inside.Stage 2: Introversion leads to the free flow of thoughts, visions, complexes, memories etc. from the lower mind. Our passions, fears, doubts and desires arise and we are now in a position to observe these and remove the undesirable content from our minds forever.Stage 3: Having observed the lower mind, we are now in a position to explore the subconscious realms. It is here that real meditation begins. Our limitless storehouse of energy and knowledge starts manifesting itself.Stage 4: Self realization: As these stages are transcended, supreme bliss is attained.The practices of yoga gradually evolve from the body to the mind and eventually to the spiritual realms, developing awareness of different aspects of life and utilizing yoga to harmonies various dimensions of life. Yoga is ultimately concerned with development of the total human personality.Techniques in a typical hatha yoga class are often the physical postures or asanas, which help heal and maintain the body by increasing flexibility, strengthening various muscles and helping to detoxify and tone many of the body systems. It is important to know about all the physiological systems and then begin to feel them working, changing and balancing in the body.
