Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas
Sail Date: February 07, 2016
Reviewed: 1 year ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
Superior cruise vessel. Immaculately clean. (Advocates of maintaining healthy environment by promoting international standard for clean hands throughout the vessel.) Excellent entertainment with multiple venue choices. Something for everyone! Very impressed with ship's design that enables passengers to freely move from place to place without "bottlenecks" you might have experienced on other ships. (Occasional short wait for elevator after some of the larger shows let out but quality of shows offset any inconvenience.) Mama Mia show is a must see! Observed several "electric scooters" easily maneuvering around. Fun, fun, fun place for kids. Large kiddie pool area targeted to entertain kids and allow adults to maintain unobstructed views of little ones at all times. The Boardwalk has a carousel and multiple kid/young adult food options. There's rock climbing, ice skating, ice shows, wave-riding, and evening family-friendly movies under the stars. Food experience accommodated all palette levels of "taste maturity". We purchased two Drinks of the Day and found them to be full of sugary fruit juice and undetected alcohol - glasses had fun designs but nothing uniquely special. AnyTime dining room servers "Tianna, LaToya, and SherriAnne" made us feel welcome and special (like we were very important, long-lost-loved family!). We had the opportunity to sit in other sections but, sorry guy waiters, were simply served. No friendly smiles and conversation. The men wait staff got the job done but the ladies mentioned above got the job done with first class service, friendly and caring (yet still professional) attitudes, and efficiency as if they were gliding across the floor. It was worth the wait to be seated in Tianna's section. The Tequilla Taqueria food was delicious - cudos to the chef and friendly waiter. (Yes, the male wait staff on the ship as a whole was very friendly and welcoming - just not the male wait staff we encountered with AnyTime Dining - excluding the hosts, maitre de, wine stewards, etc, who were all wonderful.) Visiting ports in Haiti, Jamaica, and Mexico with the typical shore excursions and gift shopping is nice but the star of this particular show (especially for frequent cruisers) is the "Allure of the Seas".

|Loved Mama Mia! The comedy act and the impressionist should switch billing. The impressionist's act did not maintain my interest. I could have viewed his transformations on the TV in our room. Seeing pictures of what an on-board cruise entertainer/artist has done is very different from experiencing what they can do in front of your eyes. Plus the female and male comedians rocked!!! Everybody on the floor with tears from laughing and everybody on their feet for a standing ovation. We would pay to see them. The water acrobatic show was great. Great respect for the talent above and below the water. Spectacular talent!

UPDATE 1-Energy and financials pull down Toronto stocks
(Adds details)
* Energy and financial shares lead way lower
* Bombardier rises after posting strong profit
TORONTO, June 4 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock market index slipped on Wednesday as falling oil prices and weak financial shares weighed on the market.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 37.67 points, or 0.3 percent, at 14,690.94 after touching a low of 14,640.71 earlier in the day.
Six of the TSX index's 10 main groups were lower, led by a 0.9 percent drop in the energy group and a 0.4 percent fall for financial shares. These two groups account for about 60 percent of the overall market.
"We are still groping to find a lasting direction in this market. But we are coming close," said Rick Hutcheon, president at RKH Investments.
Energy shares slipped as the price for crude oil briefly touched a three-week low of $123.15 a barrel, before settling around $123.80.
Among oil companies falling were EnCana Corp (ECA.TO: Quote), which was down 93 Canadian cents at C$89.47 and Suncor Energy (SU.TO: Quote) dropped 52 Canadian cents to C$66.08. Continued...

2008 Honda Civic Si - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
So Much Fun
By Matt on
Vehicle2008 Honda Civic Si 2dr Coupe w/Nav (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
ReviewAs a recent college grad, this was my first new car purchase. I spent months (literally) trying to find a something fun/practical/economical/sporty/stylish /etc. all wrapped into one. Before, I drove a '95 Mazda Millenia which was great. My first Honda experience has been amazing so far. I was warned the Si was a true sports car. This is not a lie. Gears 2 through 5 really have some power, especially in the higher RPM's (redlines at 8000). With a little time, the clutch is fairly user friendly. Navigation system is easy to use and the sound system is better than advertised (built in sub really kicks hard). I bought this car to have some fun and so far Honda has delivered.
Best FeaturesDVD-based navigation (with touch screen audio controls), 6-speed, two tiered dash, 17" performance wheels, aux input, iVTEC, power moonroof, trunk is surprisingly big for this size car
Worst FeaturesReally nit picking here... the dark interior collects fuzz a little bit, short shift is great but the clutch seems a little long, power driver seat would be nice, I hope Honda decides to allow the manuals to be compatible with remote start soon since Honda has a great remote start system

The phenotypic sex of an individual mammal is determined by the sex of its gonads, i.e. testes or ovaries. This in turn is determined by the presence or absence of a small region of the Y chromosome, located near the X-Y pairing region in man and on the short arm of the Y chromosome in the mouse. The testis-determining region of the Y appears to exert its primary effect by directing the supporting-cell lineage of the gonad to differentiate as Sertoli cells, acting at least in part cell-autonomously. The phenotypic sex of a germ cell, i.e. whether it undergoes spermatogenesis or oogenesis, is determined at least in the mouse by whether or not it enters meiotic prophase before birth. This depends not on its own sex chromosome constitution, but on its cellular environment. A germ cell in or near normal testis cords (made up mainly of Sertoli cells) is inhibited from entering meiosis until after birth; one that escapes this inhibition will develop into an oocyte even if it is in a male animal and is itself XY in chromosome constitution.

As his former coach talked publicly about him for the first time, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez appeared in an Attleboro, Mass., court this afternoon for a probable cause hearing.
Hernandez, appearing in court for the first time since June 28, wore a black suit and was handcuffed. He did not speak during the brief hearing, in which prosecutors were granted a 30-day continuance. Assistant District Attorney William McCauley sought the continuance in order to allow a grand jury to indict Hernandez in the June 17 murder of semipro football player Odin Lloyd. That allows prosecutors to keep more of their case under wraps.
Although Jamie Sultan, Hernandez's attorney, wanted the hearing to proceed because "Mr. Hernandez sits in a solitary cell," Judge Daniel O'Shea said a 30-day postponement was neither unusual nor a hardship.
Hernandez, who has pleaded not guilty, has his next hearing Aug.22.
Meanwhile, another grand jury is considering a possible link between Hernandez and a July 2012 double homicide.

From time to time, we come across support cases where customers need to clean up the list templates in a document. While working with a document, there are situations when you will want to know how many list tempates are currently in use and when you check that value, it is a much larger number than what you expect. Before discussing how to get the correct number, I want to mention that I am assuming you have at least some type of understanding about list templates and the scenarios that will put a document into a state where it contains un-used list templates. There are a few different articles on the internet that discuss list numbering and list templates. A regular search for these terms should get you some of the background information related to this particular information.
Note: This particular blog post is related to the Open Xml (.docx) file format and will not address the problem with binary (.doc) files.
Having said that, we can now start discussing what needs to happen if you want to remove these un-used or orphaned list templates. This is a manual process and I am also making further assumptions that you have some understanding of opening a Word document and modifying the underlying xml files. I will use the following document for this example, which at first contains two list templates.
To achieve an orphaned list template, I will delete everything in List #2 so only the first list remains and then save the document. It now looks like the following:
If I query the object model for the number of list templates (ActiveDocument.ListTemplates.Count), I will get a value of 2 instead of 1. To get the actual count of list templates currently in use, we first need to rename the file to ".zip" and have a look at its contents. After zipping my document, I can navigate to the "word" folder and this is what I find:
The two files of importance are "document.xml" and "numbering.xml". We will not make any changes to "document.xml"; we just need to look through it to find out what list templates are currently in use. As you can see in the following screenshot, this document has only one "numId" in use with a value of 1. It does appear three times, one for each list item but I only need to know if the style is used at least once. You also need to keep in mind that if you are using list numbering in other parts of the document (like headers, footers, etc…), you will need to repeat this check for each of those xml files. The process will be the same in those files, so you still are just looking for "numId" values.
Now that I know what "numId" values are used in the document, the next thing I will do is look through the file "numbering.xml" so I can see what orphaned list templates are still listed. Here is what mine looks like:
I collapsed the "abstractNum" tags to make it easier to show the relationship between the "numId" and "abstractNumId". As you can see in the screenshot, the document is still listing both list templates in the document. Since my search through "document.xml" only showed the numId = 1, any other numId can be deleted along with its related abstractNum tag.
After deleting the "num" tag with a numId = 2 and the "abstractNum" tag with an abstractNumId = 0, I can save the "numbering.xml" file and place it back into my Word document. You should now have a document that has the correct number of list templates.
One thing to keep in mind is that, while this method does work it could be very time consuming on larger documents. There might be other sites/blogs that have information about using VBA or some other approach to automate this type of clean up in a Word document. There are even some approaches to manually modifying the document in Word to achieve the same results. The goal of this post was to try and provide another option for users to choose from regarding this particular issue.
Lastly, I spent the weekend writing an automated version of this blog using the Open Xml SDK to see if that works and it does, so it would be possible to get this working on a larger scale programmatically.

"UNT Lost in Paradise served as my base color. Two-three coats then top coat with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. After top coat was dry I added snowflake vinyl stickers, I sponged a white polish over the entire nail (except for where the snowflakes were stuck on!). On top of the white I sponged on a gradient of eight amazing KB Shimmer cremes. After I was happy with how the gradient looked, I peeled up each of the vinyl snowflakes and top coated once again! These looked so super pretty and fun in real life. I love how the snowflakes are paired with such bright typically non-winterish shades. These just made me feel happy!"
Here are some polishes to use for the gradient!

Question: Crohn's Question ??
|Leigh83 - Sun Nov 04, 2007 5:15 pm

Hi, I am a 24 year old female with crohn's disease. The first time I had a flare up I lost about 15lbs in less than 2 weeks. For a while I had continuous diarrhea and cramping, now I have constipation and shap pain. The pain is so severe I have to grab whatever is close to me, it takes my breath. I have also developed a fissue, Somtimes the blood runs down my legs. Here is my question.
How do I treat the constipation with out irritating my crohn's?? or is constipation and severe pain part of crohn's too?? If so, what do I do about it?? Thanks so much!!
My meds are
6-mp, 75mg
remicade every 8 weeks
I had my appendix out Jan 22 of 06
|Dr. Chan Lowe - Sun Nov 04, 2007 8:31 pm

Hi Leigh83,
This seems like a straight forward issue; however, there is more than appears. There are a few possibilities regarding your constipation. It may be that you simply have straight forward constipation. In this case, using a medication such as glycolax is a very safe method of treating it.
On the other hand, the constipation may actually be a sign that you are having ongoing Crohn's issues. The Crohn's may be causing some poor absorption of nutrients in a certain area. In response, the rest of the GI tract may be increasing it's absorption causing too much water to be absorbed. This results in constipation. If this is the case you need to treat the Crohn's to resolve the constipation.
I would recommend you talk with your GI doctor about how to best treat your constipation. You may need some testing to find out which situation is occurring.
Best wishes.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL:; Falcons' Running Defused by the Irish
By MALCOLM MORAN, Special to The New York Times
Published: October 15, 1989
COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 14— In the rarefied atmosphere of a jammed Falcon Stadium at the United States Air Force Academy tonight, the Notre Dame sophomore nicknamed Rocket explored the reaches of his personal wild blue yonder.
Raghib Ismail scored two touchdowns - one of them on a 56-yard punt return - in a 41-27 Fighting Irish victory that ended the Air Force hope for an undefeated season.
Notre Dame (6-0), the top-ranked team in both news-agency polls and No. 5 in The New York Times's computer ranking, extended the longest major-college winning streak in the nation to 18 games. The Irish prevailed despite allowing the Falcons to gain 474 yards, the most Notre Dame has given up this season. Ground Game Shut Down
Air Force (6-1), which came into the game with the leading rushing offense in the country, was held to 168 rushing yards, 281 below its average.
Confronted by an early three-touchdown deficit, Dee Dowis, the 5-foot-10-inch, 153-pound senior Falcon quarterback, threw for a career-high 306 yards and two touchdowns. But Dowis's incomplete pass, lost fumble and first interception of the season, on three successive fourth-down plays in the third quarter, prevented the Falcons from coming closer than 14 points.
''It doesn't matter if you don't win,'' Dowis said of his passing yardage. ''I didn't play very well. I've got some things to learn.''
Tony Rice, the Notre Dame quarterback, completed 9 of 13 passes for 123 yards, and rushed for 71 yards on 14 carries. ''We just have to play four good quarters,'' Rice said. ''That wasn't four quarters. There are no answers. We just haven't put four quarters together.'' Ismail's first score, a 56-yard punt return on the second play of the second quarter, gave the Irish a 21-0 lead. Less than a month ago, after his two touchdowns on kickoff returns became the difference in a victory over Michigan, Ismail's gifts became the focal point of football fans up to and including the President of the United States.
In a speech Sept. 23, President Bush described Ismail's two touchdowns as ''the best use of speed since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier.'' In the place where the nation harnesses the business of speed and flight, where the record crowd of 53,533 cheered the brief roaring presence of the jets as they flew by before the game, Ismail found his most recent national stage. Third Score on a Return
He took the punt from Eric Olson near the middle of the field, maneuvered into an opening with the help of two blocks, and cut to his left. He avoided a tackle from Olson and ran past the dive of Jason Jones for his third score on a return this season and the fifth of his brief college career.
''Everybody just blocked their guys,'' Ismail said, ''and a hole opened.''
The score did more than extend the list of Ismail's achievements. It created the necessity for Dowis, the fourth-leading rusher in the nation before tonight, to turn to passing. With the reliable but time-consuming wishbone offense faced with a 21-point deficit, the Falcons had little choice. So while Dowis, who had averaged 133.7 rushing yards per game, was held to minus-1 yard in the first half, his passing exploited a puzzling imperfection in the Notre Dame defense: the most experienced part of the unit continued to have the most difficulty.
Dowis passed for 160 yards in the half, and his two touchdown throws brought the Falcons back into the game. Dowis's quick throw to the halfback Greg Johnson became the longest of his career, a 61-yard touchdown, and cut the Irish lead to 21-7. #27-Yard Scoring Pass Tony Rice, the Notre Dame quarterback, whose early reputation was also made in the running game, threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Johnson for a 28-7 lead. Johnson, whose 1-yard score had been the 10th and final play of an 80-yard Notre Dame drive to begin the game, took Rice's pass up the middle for a 28-7 lead.
But Dowis continued to throw, and the Irish secondary faced more problems. A 26-yard pass to Steve Senn completed an 8-play, 80-yard drive, which reduced the Falcon deficit to 14 points. The Air Force defense then held Anthony Johnson on third-and-2 from the Irish 34 to force Notre Dame's first punt.
With 3 minutes 44 seconds to go before halftime, the Falcons started from their 20-yard line with a renewed sense of confidence and the opportunity to come within a touchdown. But after a 21-yard pass to Trent Van Hulzen, Dowis stumbled on an option play to the right. His forced pitch to Greg Johnson appeared on target but was never in the halfback's control. Air Force Fumble
Johnson fumbled when he was hit by the Irish safety D'Juan Francisco. Chris Zorich, the nose tackle, recovered the ball at the Air Force 35 with 2:45 to go in the quarter, and the Irish suddenly had a chance to widen their lead.
Anthony Johnson gained 2 yards on fourth-and-1 from the Falcon 26 to maintain possession, keeping Dowis off the field and keeping Ismail on.
On the next play, from the 24, Ismail, who was flanked to the right, came around to the left and took a handoff from Rice while the Falcons mistakenly concentrated on the right side. Ismail moved easily behind an unnecessary but imposing convoy of the sophomore guard Mirko Jurkovic and the senior tackle Dean Brown for his fourth touchdown of the season and his first on offense.

Though it only lasted two seasons, the late-'80s television series WAR OF THE WORLDS fashioned a worthy, imaginative sequel to the classic 1953 film adaptation of H.G. Wells's terrifying tale of alien invasion. Picking up 35 years after the movie left off--with the aliens' defeat via earthly bacteria--the syndicated series found the invaders' preserved bodies resuscitated by radioactive nuclear waste and endowed with an INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS-like ability to inhabit their victims. Scientist Harrison Blackwood (Jared Martin) led the charge to combat the alien menace with the help of a team of experts that included biologist Suzanne McCullough (Lynda Mason Green), computer programmer Norton Drake (Philip Akin), and army colonel Paul Ironhorse (Richard Chaves). While not as well remembered as that other '80s alien classic, V, WAR OF THE WORLDS retains a cult following for its action-packed storylines, superb special effects, and a dark, atmospheric evocation of paranoia. Includes every episode from series 2.

N.H. on two wheels: Laconia Motorcycle Week kicks off
Those bikers you see gathered under overpasses heading north today? They're dodging the showers - which should be gone by tomorrow morning - but they're still going to the opening weekend of Laconia Motorcycle Week.
The Laconia Motorcycle Week Association kicked off the 90th Laconia Motorcycle Week (June 8 – June 16) yesterday at the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound where event organizers - including N.H. Gov. Maggie Hassan - welcomed the hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts who will travel throughout the state in the coming days. The Granite State offers several reasons to celebrate the rally's 90th anniversary season: spectacular riding, a commitment to ensuring a safe experience for rally attendees and the public, the deep-rooted philanthropic nature of motorcycle riders, and the positive economic impact Laconia Motorcycle Week has on the state.
Here's what's new:
Laconia Motorcycle Week executive director Charlie St. Clair introduced some new additions for the 90th event, including a Laconia Motorcycle Week Mobile Guide application for smart phones that will allow riders to receive and share information about the rally. It also includes a complete events schedule as well as information regarding live music, races, bike shows, contests, rides, and special offers. Laconia Motorcycle Week Association has introduced a new passport program for 2013. The Laconia Passport is a collector's item that is filled with pages for riders to have stamped depending on their Bike Week activity. An exclusive souvenir package will be awarded to bikers who complete the Laconia Passport.
"Motorcycle enthusiasts come from every corner of the country and around the world to celebrate this rally with us for various reasons. Most significantly they come here to ride," said Jennifer Anderson, director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association. "New Hampshire's majestic terrain offers bikers spectacular riding options. In a matter of hours you can explore covered bridges and quaint towns in the Upper Valley, ride along New Hampshire's picturesque seacoast, take a 'Ride to the Sky' up Mt. Washington's famed Auto Road, explore the beautiful Lakes Region and after all that, let loose with your brethren in bustling Weirs Beach."
Win your own Harley:
Beyond the spectacular riding, area business leaders focused on the numerous philanthropic initiatives taking place during the 90th Anniversary of Motorcycle Week. New this year are two campaigns created by Laconia Harley-Davidson to raise funds for the Boys and Girls Clubs of New Hampshire. Laconia Harley aims to raise $30,000 through a donation and raffle of a one-of-a-kind, custom-painted 2013 Harley-Davidson Street Glide. 3,000 tickets will be available and can be purchased for $10 a piece at laconiaharley.com, at the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region, Laconia Harley-Davidson (239 Daniel Webster Highway, Meredith, N.H.) and White Mountain Harley-Davidson (1275 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, N.H.)
The original motorcycle rally:
Throughout the years, Motorcycle Week has evolved from a weekend to a nine day nationally recognized event with activities expanding beyond downtown Laconia and the Lakes Region to the entire state. The enormity of the event requires coordination of multiple groups, particularly first responders.
"We care deeply about the well-being of rally attendees and the year-round residents who call the Lakes Region home," said Major Russell Conte of the New Hampshire State Police. "Several departments and the State Police will be working collaboratively so we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone and preserve this wonderful event."
Find more information on the Laconia Motorcycle Week web site.
If you go:
In NH, take Exit 20 from Route 93. Take a left off the exit onto Routes 3 & 11. Follow this road for approximately 10 miles. After you drive past the Belknap Mall, take a right just before the lights onto the Laconia Bypass/Route 11. Follow until the loop at the end and take a right. Follow this road straight through the lights. Bear right at the next set of lights. This is Weirs Boulevard. Stay left at the fork. Follow this road along the lake to Weirs Beach.

Formula One publishes human rights commitment
By Alan Baldwin
MANAMA (Reuters) - Formula One has published a statement committing the sport to respect for human rights as it prepares for one of the more controversial races on the calendar in Bahrain this weekend.
An uprising led by the strategic Gulf kingdom's Shi'ite Muslim majority to demand reforms in early 2011 led to a crackdown and forced the cancellation of that year's race.
There have been sporadic protests ever since and more were held on Friday as activists accused Bahrain's Sunni rulers of again staging the event to paper over abuses..
Media reports also drew attention, however, to a "Statement of Commitment to Respect for Human Rights" that was posted without fanfare in the legal notices section of the www.formula1.com website.
"The Formula One Group is committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights in its operations globally," it declared.
"Whilst respecting human rights in all of our activities, we focus our efforts in relation to those areas which are within our own direct influence."
The statement said "proportionate steps" would be taken, including to "understand and monitor through our due diligence processes the potential human rights impacts of our activities".
The sport will also seek to "identify and assess... any actual or potential adverse human rights impacts with which we may be involved either through our own activities or as a result of our business relationships, including but not limited to our suppliers and promoters." Continued...

This season, Coughlin will move back to linebacker, but his frame and versatility should allow colleges to project him to either position. His play last season has already caught the eye of several programs.
"I've gotten interest from Minnesota, Michigan State and Pittsburgh," he said. I attended Minnesota's spring practice this last Tuesday."
That visit was the start of his process with the Gophers, and given their proximity, that relationship is likely to build over the next few years.
"It was really great. With Coach Miller leaving the linebackers... I talked to him last summer, but I didn't know the new linebackers coach. From what I saw, he's a really great guy and Coach Kill is a funny awesome dude. I talked to the recruiting coordinator for most of practice, then Coach Kill and the linebackers coach talked to me at the end and they said they're looking forward to going through the process with me."
In June, Coughlin will hope to push himself further onto the radar when he attends a handful of college camps.
"So far I'm attending Pitt, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan State and it's a possibility I might try Florida State and Ole Miss. Michigan sent me a flyer for their camp so there is also a big chance I will attend that too."

A great way to rid your property of snakes is to repel them with a natural snake repellent. This method keeps snakes from being harmed as well as avoiding the use of toxic chemicals which may poison a pet or child.
Combining cinnamon oil and clove oil
Another common mixture you can use to deter snakes, especially if you have a larger area to treat, is combining cinnamon oil and clove oil and spraying the mixture on garden plants, the foundation of your house, and anywhere else you think you might have a snake problem. Use equal parts of cinnamon and clove oils and shake well before and during the application process. The major drawback of this method is that the mixture will need to be reapplied often as the mixture does not have much residual action, especially after a good rain.

In the offer document to be posted to shareholders today, Marston is expected to say that if W&D's pounds 262m hostile bid succeeds, it would withdraw its pounds 330m counterbid.
The statement clarifies one of the main uncertainties created by Marston's decision to turn on its suitor with a hostile offer - the so-called "Pac- Man defence".
This highly unusual strategy leaves open the possiblity that both firms could claim victory in their respective bids, declaring their offers unconditional with more than 50 per cent of acceptances. City observers believe that such an outcome could plunge the bid battle into utter confusion as no one would be able to tell whose company had control.
The decision by Marston, famous for its Pedigree bitter and Pitcher & Piano pubs, to withdraw if W&D wins, will be welcomed by the two companies' shareholders, who had been puzzled by the Pac-Man defence.
The move came as the Office of Fair Trading came under renewed pressure by W&D to refer the Marston bid to the Monopolies & Mergers Commission. W&D claims that Marston's plans to close W&D's breweries in Wolverhampton and Hartlepool and to leave the production of W&D's Banks's bitter to Bass would give Bass a dominant position in the Midlands.

Cooperation, The Winning Combination (5 of 5) by Joe Alain
This content is part of a series.Cooperation, The Winning Combination (5 of 5)
Series: Events In The Life Of Moses
Joe Alain
Exodus 17:8-15
The fifth sermon in a series of five sermons based on events in the life of Moses. This sermon was originally preached as a Father's Day sermon.
Here is a beautiful picture of what can happen when we cooperate with God and with each other. Cooperation is essential in the Christian life. God promised to give Israel the Promised Land, but He never said it would be easy. At Rephidim, on their way to the Promised Land, Israel was attacked unmercifully by the Amalekites. Since they were distant cousins of the Israelites you would assume that they knew the promise God had made to Israel concerning the Land and would welcome their distant cousins, but that didn't happen. Instead, Deuteronomy 25:17-18 describes what did occur. ''Remember what the Amalekites did to you along the way when you came out of Egypt. When you were weary and worn out, they met you on your journey and cut off all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God.'' Ruthless, without mercy, and no fear of God!
When the Amalekites came against Israel, Moses put the young leader Joshua in charge of the Israelite's army and Moses along with Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the mountain to call upon God. As long as ''Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning'' (v.11) the battle. But when Moses grew tired and weary and ''lowered his hands,'' the Amalekites were winning.
Israel eventually won the battle against the Amalekites because they cooperated with the Lord (''Jehovah-Nissi,'' ''The Lord Is My Banner,'' v.15) and because the people cooperated together to accomplish God's purposes. Cooperation is essential in the Christian life. To cooperate is ''to work together, to act in a way that makes something possible or likely.''
Life Application: ''You win in life when you cooperate with the Lord who is your ''Banner'' of victory and when you cooperate with other belie ...

Ireland to hold EU treaty referendum in June
By Honor Mahony
The Irish government has indicated that the country's highly anticipated referendum on the EU treaty will take place in the second week of June.
Prime Minister Bertie Ahern told parliament on Tuesday (11 March): "The government have more or less signed off on the date. It is really a question about the day of the week.

"We are looking at the second week of June."
According to the Irish Times, the date will probably be Thursday, 12 June.
Ireland is the only country to have a referendum on the EU treaty, meaning that between now and the poll, the government and Irish voters will be carefully watched by both politicians and media from around Europe.
All 27 member states must ratify the treaty for it to come into force, with the goal for this to take place being the beginning of next year.
Ireland caused upset in the EU the last time it was in this situation. When voters rejected the Nice Treaty in 2001, it was then passed by a second referendum the following year.
But since the shock No votes of the French and Dutch voters in referenda on the EU constitution - the current treaty's similar-looking predecessor - in those countries in 2005, it is politically doubtful whether a No vote by the Irish in June could simply be followed by another referendum.
Unlike in the run-up to the first Nice Treaty vote, the Irish government has been much more pro-active. It has told Irish citizens the country will be isolated in Europe if the treaty is voted down.
The Irish Times reports that foreign minister Dermot Ahern told a parliament committee on Tuesday that the Referendum Commission - a independent body meant to distribute information on issues covered in referendum questions - will be given €5.8 million to inform the public about the EU treaty.
UK and Finland
Meanwhile, the British House of Commons has passed the bill that will ratify the EU treaty.
The bill received 346 votes in favour and 206 against, following around six weeks of bitter debate in one of the bloc's most eurosceptic countries.
It will now move to the House of Lords for a vote.
The Commons' vote comes after a failed attempt last week by the opposition Conservatives to win a referendum on the treaty.
So far, five countries have ratified the treaty - France, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary and Malta.
But in other countries, the treaty question is becoming tangled up in other issues. Slovakia was forced to put off a vote on the treaty due to an internal dispute over media law, while the Finnish media is reporting that semi-autonomous Aaland - an island between Finland and Sweden - is kicking up a fuss over snuff.
Finnish state broadcaster YLE reports that the Aaland government may reject the EU treaty - and undermine the country's general ratification of the treaty, due to a row over the right to sell snuff, a smokeless tobacco.
It is banned in Finland under EU law but Aaland wants to be able to sell it in Swedish waters where it is still legal, saying that otherwise it will lose port business.

Location: Crops Pathology and Genetics Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
1. Develop, test, and demonstrate optimized integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for management of almond replant problem in Merced County without methyl bromide (MB). 2) Contribute to educational outreach to foster grower utilization of program findings in Merced County.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
1. In collaboration with G. Browne, B. Lampinen, and S. Upadhyaya, an almond replant trial (almond to be replanted after removal of old almond trees) will be conducted in Merced County at a commercial field site with sandy soil and a history of ring nematode infestation. 2. In collaboration with Browne, treatments designed to evaluate efficacy of fumigant alternatives to MB will be applied to replicate mainplots-- 8- to 11-ft-wide strips of the land centered over future tree rows (strip treatments) or to 5 ft x 6ft rectangles of land centered over future tree planting sites (a spot treatment). The strip treatments will include a non-fumigated control, a fumigated control (MB, 400 lb/treated acre), Telone II (340 lb/treated acre), Telone C35 (540 lb/treated acre). The spot treatment will include Telone C35 (540 lb/treated acre, equivalent to approximately 54 lb/orchard acre). All of the treatments will be applied in fall 2009, and selected fumigant treatments will be tested with and without preceding summer-long rotations with sudan grass (in the absence of sudan grass rotations, the ground will be cultivated or sprayed periodically to maintain it relatively free from weeds). 3. At least two treatments designed to evaluate efficacy of non-fumigant alternatives to MB will be applied to 5 x 6 ft subplots centered over future tree planting sites and within the main plots. The subplot treatments may include treatments with steam and Brassica seed meal, steam, Trichoderma formulations, and fungicide and oomycete treatments. 4. Tree trunk diameters, visual disease severity ratings, and nematode samples will be collected at least two times per year. 5. Educational outreach will be achieved via a UCCE/ARS-hosted field demonstrations day at the trial site in Madera County. Documents Specific Cooperative Agreement with UCCE Merced County.
3. Progress Report
Agreement was established in support of Obj.1 of in-house project-the goal being to demonstrate alternatives to MB in key crop systems & regions dependent upon MB. The goal of this project is to develop, test, and demonstrate optimized IPM strategies for management of almond replant problems in Merced Co. without the use of MB. A site, in an area free of fumigant buffer zone restriction, for an almond replant trial was located in Merced Co. at a commercial field site with sandy soil and a history of ring nematode infestation. Fumigant treatments were applied and were designed to evaluate efficacy of alternative fumigants to MB and fumigant alternatives. The trial included a main plot testing soil fumigants, a 2nd plot testing fumigant alternatives, and a sudan grass cover crop trial. Within the main plot, treatments were applied to full rows of the cultivar 'Nonpareil' and were either a 8- to 11-ft-wide strips of the land centered over future tree rows(strip treatments)or to 5 ft x 6ft rectangles of land centered over future tree planting sites(a spot treatment). The strip treatments included a non-fumigated control, a fumigated control(MB, 400 lb/treated acre), Telone II(340 lb/treated acre), and Telone C35(540 lb/treated acre). The spot treatment included Telone C35(540 lb/treated acre, equivalent to approximately 54 lb/orchard acre). There were 4 whole row replicate plots containing 36 trees/treatment in a randomized block design. The 2nd experiment was established within the rows of the cultivar 'Sonora.' Spot treatments of steam, brassica seed meal(BSM), and a combination of BSM & steam were compared to C35 strip treatment. Alternative treatments were applied as spot treatments to the tree planting hole, using a 30" dia custom designed auger. The auger was placed over the center of the tree site and provided delivery of the treatment, either steam or liquid suspension, to a 24" depth. Distribution of the product was throughout the planting hole due to the mixing action of the auger and the ability for the auger to keep the treated soil within the treatment site. The C35 fumigant was applied using the row strip treatment described previously. Each treatment block consisted of 6 replicate trees. There were 12 total treated blocks. The steam treatment heated the soil to over 200F and maintained a soil temperature of over 150F for at least 6 hours post treatment within the treated area. For the BSM treatments, 3 trees within each block were treated with either 0.29 lbs/tree site(4000 lbs/treated acre) or 0.58 pounds/tree site(8000 lbs/treated acre), totaling 6 trees. For the combined BSM & steam treatment, BSM was applied at 0.29 pounds/tree site prior to application of the steam treatment. A 3rd trial was initiated to determine if a sudan grass cover crop rotation could increase tree growth within trial conditions. Whole row treatments consisted of either fallow ground or a 16' wide strip of planted sudan centered over the future tree row. The ADODR monitors this SCA by maintaining a complete file of the agreement, reviewing the annual reports, and conducting meetings with the cooperator during the course of the agreement.

AJ Bruno: Founder, President
AJ co-founded TrendKite in 2012 and oversees all aspects of the organization's sales operations.
If you are an in-house public relations professional you are likely competing with every other department in your company for a limited technology budget. It's also pretty unlikely that public relations software tops the CEO's list of critical, strategic investments. We've found that attempts to justify public relations software spending by describing it's productivity and PR performance enhancing capabilities can fall on deaf ears. If you're in this situation, it might be a good idea to take another approach. Let's look at 4 statistics that underscore the reason PR software is an essential tool for today's brands.
70% of the Buying Process is Complete before a Prospect Ever Reaches Out to a Vendor – Forrester Research
The way people buy has changed. You can no longer rely on sales representatives to educate and persuade customers. Sure, they have a role, but the vast majority of the process now occurs online. PR software helps you ensure the presence of your brand in the media channels where your audience searches for information and is critical to advancing the buying cycle.
25% to 40% of all traffic and lead generation comes from earned media – AdAge
With so much of the buying process occurring online, driving traffic to your website must should be one of the top strategic goals for any company. Investing in PR is a smart way to increase website visits and thereby conversations and ultimately, revenue.
92% percent of consumers around the world say they trust earned media. – Neilson Research
Owned media is great, but as Neilson proved, its power pales in comparison to earned media. The strength of earned media means that competition for the attention of reporters and influencers is fierce. Public relations software is a critical ally in crafting customized, timely pitches that will appeal to those in this position of trust.
78% of consumers trust peer recommendations – only 14% trust advertising – Pew Statistics
It is also worthy of note that 4 out 5 consumers have changed their minds about a recommended product due solely to negative information found online. These twin statistics show why brand reputation management is an increasingly important aspect of public relations. PR software puts you in the best position to quickly respond to negative online word-of-mouth and to effective leverage positive comments and reviews.
The math makes it clear that PR can help get people to your website, move them through the buying cycle, and give them confidence in their decision to choose your brand. Public relations software helps your organization maximize its effectiveness and leverage data to achieve better, tangible results. Statics like these make this vital investment too compelling to ignore.

NAIROBI (AFP) – Over 38,000 Somali children are at "high risk" from dying from starvation despite hunger levels improving by almost a third across the war-torn nation, UN experts said Thursday.
The grim assessment, based on the latest data collected by the UN, comes just over three years since intense drought and war sparked famine in the Horn of Africa nation, killing more than a quarter of a million people.
In total, over 731,000 people, including 203,000 children who are severely malnourished, face "acute food insecurity", according to a joint report released by the UN's Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and the US-funded Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET).
But the total number affected is a drop of 29 per cent from last assessments covering the past six months, with "relatively good rains" in late 2014 helping farmers.
"Many children remain acutely malnourished, despite a small decrease in their numbers over the past six months," the statement read.
"An estimated 202,600 children under the age of five are acutely malnourished, including 38,200 who are severely malnourished and face a high risk of morbidity and death."

Sickness has descended upon our family's home and hung around like that one party guest who you wish would leave early but who stays until 2 A.M. We've been like a bunch of sickly domino pieces crashing down on one another, and the kids have had it particularly rough.
Which is, like, one of the lamest things for a parent.
There really aren't many things as sad and pitiful as watching your child get sick. It is especially heartbreaking (and frustrating) when there isn't much you can do to fix them.

Despite the recent advances in the care of critically ill patients,1 ARDS is still a clinical condition associated with high mortality rates. In this clinical scenario, while most interventions to date have focused on the prevention of morbidity with ventilator-induced lung injury and pneumonia, no therapeutic intervention is indisputably associated with improved outcomes.
Corticosteroids have been used for the treatment of ARDS for the last 20 years; however, their benefits are still unproven.2Discrepancy of results from clinical trials may be explained by different doses and duration of administration, as well as patient selection and an excess of morbidity imposed by steroid-related side effects. However, the recent study by Meduri and coworkers3 sheds some new light on ARDS pharmacotherapy by demonstrating clinical improvement based on possible immunomodulatory effects of the steroid infusion, thus hastening the resolution of lung injury and organ failures. Common aspects among all studies showing benefits of steroids3–4 were the use of relatively lower doses, early infusion, and the selection of an extremely severely ill population. Moreover, these "successful" prospective studies had also similar limitations, the foremost one being a relatively small sample size with limited power for the detection of important outcomes (eg, hospital mortality). Therefore, these results must be viewed with caution because the morbidity burden associated with corticosteroids cannot be underestimated and a recent large multicenter clinical trial5 failed to show any significant improvement in the outcomes of patients with ARDS and severe sepsis (as disclosed by the results of the Corticus Study).
In conclusion, we believe that corticosteroids cannot be widely recommended for critically ill patients. Although Dr. Meduri's results3 are promising, a prospective multicenter trial is absolutely necessary before corticosteroids can be routinely recommended for the treatment of severe ARDS.

Pre-Lot Text
The works of German sculptor Ferdinand Preiss evoke twin strands of contemporary German culture. His more exotic subjects - such as the Bat Dancer, Torch Dancer and Autumn Dancer - are strongly redolent of the effervescent decadence associated with the cabaret culture of Berlin during the Weimar years from 1919 to 1933. Other figures - for example the Archer, Youth and the Skater - reflect the new focus on youth, vitality and sport that was an integral component of the Modernist spirit.ticism that was to culminate in the Berlin Olympic Games, 1936.
The outbreak of war in 1939 had a detrimental effect on the Preiss workshop. The cessation of international trade cut off lucrative foreign contacts and by 1940 the use of metals for any manufacture that was not central to the war effort was prohibited by the Reich.

"You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So, it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them," he said to clapping from the panel's audience.

A Summer Dream - Poem by Kyrgiakos Punnilathil
I wish I wish, this was another day.
Another place, another way.
Where all people are merry and gay,
and we could both, forever stay.
Fragrance sweet and color bright,
will fill the air and paint the night.
With your left hand in my right,
we'll stroll the beach in full moon's light.
We'll jump life's hurdles everywhere,
And clear them all with room to spare!
All our joys and sorrow's we'll share,
We'll live long and fully without a care!
I wish I wish.

Is he really peeing when I ask him to or is he just peeing soon after he wakes up and I happen to have him sitting on the potty?
She was just starting to sign "pee" but when she found out that resulted in being put on the potty she stopped.
We are thinking to make the short term goal: DD "communicates" to us when she is peeing (and then when she is about to pee). And wait on whole potty bit.
He wants to pee while standing. He has started to cruise lately and is working towards walking. I think walking is only a couple of weeks away. He is almost 11 months.
How did others get over this if they had the same problem?
Was she interested in and using the potty before this? You didn't mention her age or potty "history".
she's 14.5 months, we started 2 weeks ago with a very successful first day or so. Now she screams if we try to put her on the potty and then happily pees on the floor.
We are thinking to go back to diapers w/out covers and just work on having her sign when she is wet or when she is going to pee. kinda, give the potty a break.
On the other side of this is poop. I haven't caught a single poop since I started EC a month ago. Everyone says they don't hardly miss poops and I can't catch a single one. He is a stealth pooper and likes to poop quietly in his high chair or while trying to steal the laptop when I am trying to do stuff on the net. Sometimes he may lay down and play on the floor and next thing I know there is that smell and I kick myself for not even noticing something was up.
Let me tell you, with a crawling, cruising and soon to be walking kid poopy diaper changes take two people. One to hold the baby and one to wipe.
Any tips on catching poo?
I havent been doing EC with my 11 month daughter but we have been putting her on the potty for a long time. We started sporatically when she was 3 months and stepped it up when she was 6 months. Now she goes when she wakes up, after solids, at diaper changes and after her nap. More often than not she will at least pee. I would like to add some communication into the mix since she is also wetting her diapers. I do not use any sounds to cue her, I just have her sit on the potty for a little while. Do you guys have any pointers to where I can find info? I have read about EC but am fairly clueless to what signs she might be displaying.
We are in a simular situation as you. Our dd is 8 1/2 months and we've been doing this for almost 4 months. We don't have any specific signals from our dd. We go mostly by timing and occasionally we'll get her to tell us by using the baby sign for potty, though this is rare. Do you use baby signs already or would you consider using it? I have always loved the philosophy of it but even more so with pottying!
As for cueing her I think she just knows what the potty is for and goes. I usually say go potty while doing the sign for potty but truthfully she just knows that potty means go pee or poo.
Good luck! Keep us posted!!
I have started to sign her potty when I remember. We have had a bit of a problem with her refusing to sit on it. I'm wondering what is a good fix for that. I try to entertain her but sometimes she'll have none of it. We also have been having a "dry spell" she wouldnt pee in the potty but right after (I got the bright idea to try to potty her every 30-45 minutes during said dry spell and was catching her before she peed but she still wouldnt go in the potty).
She hates the night potty and will cry a bit but settles as soon as she gets off the potty. Poor thing, cant be nice to be sleepy and having to sit on a hard potty.
- -Yep... thats me

Educational Consumer Tips
Better Business Bureau
Published: 6/7/2011
The process of planning and saving for a college education should begin as early as possible, since the demand and competition for financial aid is great. It is better to learn what options you have now, and begin figuring college expenses into your long term financial plan.
In planning for college it may be a good idea to sit down with your accountant, financial advisor, banker or insurance agent to assess your child's pending long-term educational needs. Aside from investing and saving money for your child's education, there are financial aid programs available to help pay for this expense.
Financial aid servicers, used by colleges and universities, have a standard formula to determine whether you and your children qualify for various forms of assistance. The forms that you fill out represent the beginning of the process of determining whether your child is eligible for financial aid. Get an early start. Information on the federal aid programs can be obtained in several different ways. The best way is to ask your high school's guidance counselor or contact your State Education Department for state and local aid.
