|Great Stirrup Cay (Cruiseline Private Island), Bahamas
Our Eco Adventure tour was cancelled due to rough seas. I understand it is not unusual for rough seas there. Glad we were at least able to disembark and although the ride back to the cruise ship was rough, my husband and I both personally found it exhilerating although we felt sorry for those who got sick. The captain was very gracious and attentive. The staff were extremely helpful which was very much needed getting back onto the cruise ship. Wonderful staff.
Don't Miss: Making it public knowledge there is not charge to just get off the cruise ship and go over to the island.
|Freeport, Grand Bahama Island
|We did not go into town. I heard the kayak was awesome from someone who did it.
|Nassau, Bahamas
|Wish we would have had more explanation on the fort...how was the amphitheater used? The Junkanoo private home was interesting...getting some Bohemian history.

We fell in love with this home and Crested Butte on our first visit. We hope you feel like you have just moved into your own vacation home...and that you will want to return often. There are amazing sites and activities year round and you will love your new neighbors. This is such a welcoming community!
We are from the home of Muhammed Ali, the Kentucky Derby, and the University of Louisville Cardinals!
Debbie Hodge purchased this house in 2014
We fell in love with Crested Butte on our first visit! The community is so friendly and welcoming. There are so many activities to do all year round. With each changing season the beauty of nature changes as do the outdoor activities. We wanted to secure a part of this for our retirement years and decided to buy a piece of it so that when we reach that time in our lives we can enjoy Crested Butte full time. We hope you enjoy it too and want to return often.
When we walked in this new home and saw the lake in the back with the reflection of the mountains and the surrounding views this home afforded us, we knew we had to have it!
We have leased over 20 homes in the area, this ranks at the top.
My second time staying at this house was even better than the first! The deep snow was amazing for skiing, but provided no problem for the House as it was well maintained and cleared, even the hot tub was available despite feet of snow falling during my stay. Debbie has also continued to refine the wonderful art and decoration throughout the home, and of course provides every amenity and item I could think of using during my stay. It truly makes for an incredible visit when you look forward to getting back home in the afternoon as much as you look forward to hitting the slopes in the morning.
I traveled out to Crested Butte again this year with my boyfriend for a week long stay at Debbie's gorgeous home. This was our third time coming out to CB and we have stayed at Debbie's property every time. It is truly a home away from home and makes packing and planning for vacations a breeze as we don't have to worry about "the details" - Debbie has them all covered! From the fully stocked kitchen, to the full linen closets, you will not have to worry about feeling comfortable and taken care of if you stay here. We hosted dinner parties on several nights with other CB friends and found the house easily accommodated all of our friends for meals and drinks. Don't miss an opportunity to enjoy this incredible property! We will certainly be back soon. :)
debbie - your house is great ! we had a "full" house with 8 people, including 2 grandkids
we all loved the size of the dining room - we could all eat at one table, which has been rare at our other VRBO stays-
same for living room !
everything worked - the outside grill and hot tub were used every day
you must be a cook ! jane kept talking about all the baking pans/trays , and "luxury" toaster and coffee pot, and pans
we all biked into town almost every day-quick and easy
we hiked the brush creek trail just east of the house - easy even with kids
i biked to town/took the bus to resort/took lift to top, and walked back - knees felt it on that one
we cooked in for the most part, but did have 1 meal out at schlokars (sp?) - very nice place, but
kinda tight with our group
the art market on sunday was fun, and we loved the country music at Talk of the Town bar
we did go to Gothic and walked to Judd Falls - a perfect hike and just the right amount of time
July 4th parade was fun, and longer than i would have thought - kids got lots of candy and other goodies
your neighborhood was quiet, which was night
and the sunsets were perfect
Thanks again for the stay
Mike And Jane
ps-i left a chromecast device and short cord on your TV - could you mail back to me ?
Great place to stay!!! Stayed here last year with family and decided to come out this year with a group of ladies. We had a terrific time participating in the Alley Loop and the house added to the experience. It is so conveniently located and so comfortably furnished. We had great "together time" in the evenings cooking in a kitchen that couldn't be better equipped. I would highly recommend this house. Hope it is available next year!
Extremely warm and inviting home with all the conveniences anyone would hope for to every detail, right down to an HDMI cable to connect ones computer to the large screen TV- a true home away from home. The hostess was expeditious in responding to all of our inquiries, including how to get the best ski tickets for CB. Location of the home was less than 5 mins to town so the evenings were peaceful and star studded. Highly recommended!
Outdoor activities are plentiful! Skiing, snowboarding, hunting, hiking, fishing, mountain biking, road biking, rock climbing, fishing, horse back riding, whiter water rafting, with great shopping and dining too!

Discussion in 'Troubleshooting and Problems' started by jauburn, Jan 26, 2013.
Is there any way to get a spell checker in the editor? I see it implemented in vbulletin.
I wonder if it's necessary?
Most browsers include one by default.
It's necessary. The users of my forum like stuff in the editor. Also, in IE, I myself don't see a spell check option.
The only reason I ask is that I believe there is a TinyMCE spellcheck plugin (official TinyMCE) and it was once requested but on the basis that there is a spell check feature in most browsers (IE does have one but only in IE10+) he decided against it.
This one might be for cclaerhout as he is probably more familiar with TinyMCE than anyone
I waste already enough time with IE I will certainly not touch to this plugin. But you can read this post and check its links:

Experts who testified at a Senate Redistricting Committee meeting this week didn't paint a pretty picture about Illinois' current redistricting process.
In fact, they described the process that produces new legislative district maps every 10 years as downright awful.
In Illinois, the redistricting process is dominated by lawmakers: The state Constitution gives the entire General Assembly the first crack at drawing the boundaries for state legislative districts. But if lawmakers can't reach an agreement, the Republican and Democratic leaders in each chamber get to appoint one citizen and one lawmaker, each, to a special eight-member Legislative Redistricting Commission. If that panel can't agree on a map, either, the redistricting process gets thrown into the hands of one randomly chosen ninth member of the commission.
During each redistricting process over the last three decades, lawmakers have butted heads over the map – ultimately going to the "tiebreaker round," and throwing the process into the hands of one party.
As the Daily Herald editorial board notes today, experts have acknowledged allowing one party to control the state's map is a bad way to operate. Redistricting greatly impacts future elections because it determines which residents can vote for which representatives. Left in the hands of one party, redistricting can – and has – produced districts that greatly favor candidates of that party.
Now, in advance of the 2011 redistricting process that will follow next year's Census, the Illinois Senate is hosting once-a-month committee hearings around the state about redistricting.
Former State Senator and Comptroller Dawn Clark Netsch, drawing from her experience as a delegate to the 1970 Constitutional Convention that produced the current redistricting process, explained that the tiebreaker option was supposed to be, in essence, the "nuclear option." The thought of winner-take-all was supposed to encourage political parties to work together, for fear that they would lose the tiebreaker. There was also some hope among the delegates that the ninth member would be a "negotiator" or moderating influence, not someone who would side with one party against the other.
But, that wasn't the case in 1981, nor 1991, nor 2001. And there's no reason to think 2011 will be any different – unless the system is changed.
Roosevelt University Political Science Professor Paul Green said that the tiebreaker provision has made redistricting a partisan answer to a question that is not supposed to be partisan.
Atlhough Green and Netsch were asked to testify about the history of redistricting in Illinois, both said that the system must be changed to allow people who aren't lawmakers or partisan agents to have a role in the process.
Green also noted what amounts to the elephant in the redistricting committee room: Although many members of the General Assembly have voiced concerns about the current redistricting process, few – if any – are willing to be "political martyrs," and sacrifice their own chance to be re-elected for the sake of reform.
That's part of what makes redistricting reform in Illinois so challenging. Lawmakers historically have demonstrated reluctance to change the status quo. Even though – as Green aptly pointed out – that redistricting is largely to blame for Illinois' woefully noncompetitive state legislative elections.
Illinois needs a better redistricting system. We need a system that ensures the districts that are created just two years from now foster active political discussion and elect lawmakers that are responsive to their voters. We need a system that ensures that the 177 members of the General Assembly look as much like the other 13 million residents of Illinois as possible.
Several plans to ameliorate the current system have already been drafted – including proposals from several lawmakers, the Illinois Reform Commission, and the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.
We hope the Illinois General Assembly gives these plans serious consideration, and creates a new process that is transparent and reflects the desires of the public. ICPR supports the principles recently adopted by Americans for Redistricting Reform.
The Senate Redistricting Committee is scheduled to next meet on Aug. 18 in Springfield. An audio recording of the hearings will be made available through the General Assembly's website.

IronSocket was born in 2005 as Hong Kong based HideMyNet.com. Over the years their vision led to the creation of a simple, powerful and affordable VPN service. In 2013 IS was the result of this vision and it offers many great features. Among them are unlimited bandwidth, no usage logs and enhanced Public Wifi Hotspot Protection and 24/7 customer service.
Though maybe too thorough, we were impressed by their very transparent private use policy. And you can subscribe to the service for as low as $4.16 per month if you opt for the one year subscription. Bitcoin payments are accepted. You don't need a coupon to initiate service but you might want to take advantage of a recent discount offer. By using the code: BESTVPNSAVER you can subscribe for 25% off the normal prices!
But what if you're dissatisfied? You do have protection with caveats.
Their refunds/guarantees are as follows:
- 7 day money back guarantee. This will be processed within 24 hours of your request.
- No free trial accounts. They cited security issues for not offering a free trial period.
- Though not specifically mentioned, Bitcoin refunds may fluctuate from the initial purchase price due to variations in that virtual currency. You might want to check this out before subscribing with Bitcoins.
It should be noted that it may take up to 30 days for the refunded amount to appear on the statement of your bank, card issuer or payment provider. Also, as with many other VPN providers, if you are in breach of any of the TOS provisions, you may not be entitled to a refund.
IronSocket provides an excellent, all-round service with many attractive features. These include top-notch encryption, a no usage logs policy, great performance results and servers around the globe. It is a company that is growing rapidly and the right way.
With a money back guarantee and discounts available through BestVPN, you owe it to yourself to give them a try!


text: I guess the first question I should ask is do the experts here at this forum think this thing is worthwhile. It looks like this might be the way of hardening my operating system that I have been thinking I'd like to have. It also looks like it could hinder the operation of a computer. I've already installed it but I don't understand it. I was wondering if anyone here really knows how this should be set up. The literature I've found online hasn't really helped. It seems to basically say " try it and see". I've set up my browsers, the plugin container, email program and Adobe Reader in it. I had to disable "EAF" in the plugin container or I couldn't stream NetFlix video. That's all I've done so far. I don't know where to go from there.

A headteacher who transformed a failing London school believes good handwriting has been the bedrock of her pupils' success.
When Beatrix Simpson arrived at George Eliot primary seven years ago, she found "children throwing stones at each other in the playground".
Now, they "negotiate" with their classmates, have philosophy lessons, go weekly to the library, and let off steam climbing trees on Hampstead Heath.
George Eliot school, in St John's Wood, has beaten thousands of other institutions to be named school of the year, in the prestigious Times Educational Supplement School Awards.
Each day begins with handwriting at 9am. Ms Simpson said: "Having handwriting every day focuses pupils' minds on work and learning after they've walked here and run around the playground. It's a very constructive start.
In 2006, Ofsted rated the school "inadequate". But last year it was "outstanding" in every area, with inspectors noting: "Pupils' behaviour is exemplary." Half of the 400 children are on free school meals and 20 per cent have special educational needs. Many come from overcrowded homes and most have English as a second language and live in areas of "significant deprivation".
Born in Poland, Ms Simpson came to Britain to study in 1992. She has picked the best bits from curriculums around the world, including the "forest schools" programme from Sweden, in which pupils learn and play in natural environments.
Ms Simpson, 50, a mother-of-two, said: "When I came here children were throwing stones at each other in the playground, they would get into fights easily. They were lacking the language of negotiation and apology. Now children are respectful of each other, they respond extremely well to structure.
"We take them to Hampstead Heath, let them explore the woods, climb trees and think about risk."
The school emphasises literacy and employs the technique of reciprocal reading — in which students are encouraged to question the text and their peers, and become "teachers" themselves in small group sessions. "Through reciprocal reading, they learn about vocabulary and comprehension. Philosophy lessons help with their thinking, speaking and listening skills," said Ms Simpson.
"I really enjoy what I do. It's amazing to see our pupils leave school being in-dependent learners and confident."
The school employs a business manager to get them the best deals and also has a counsellor, psychotherapist and art therapist.
On Friday, Ms Simpson collected the TES awards for overall school of the year and primary of the year in a ceremony at Park Plaza hotel in Westminster. Elaine El-Essawy, chairwoman of governors, said: "George Eliot used to be a very different place. There was a very low expectation of the children, no one was flourishing.
"When Ms Simpson was appointed she was very driven. She has very high expectations of herself, staff and children. They are respectful to each other, they've learned how to listen and ex-press opinions. Every child is required to read for half an hour and parents have to sign it off. Everything is monitored. Nothing is left to chance."
Danny Chalkley, Westminster council's cabinet member for children and young people, called it a "magnificent achievement".

of Talavera de la Reina, south-west of Madrid, as a Christmas present from the Spanish couple she calls her second mother and father.
Jesus Lazaro Cano and Julia Ruiz Blanco took Paltrow in as a 15-year-old exchange student and she is now considered part of the family. The couple call her by the affectionate nickname Winnie and she calls them Mama and Papa.
In an exclusive interview and photoshoot with her Spanish "family" near the site of her dream home, Paltrow said: "I already come here four times a year because it's the farthest from Hollywood you can get."
The actress, who celebrates her 32nd birthday today, said: "The way the Spanish live is really healthy. Everybody eats a clean Mediterranean diet. They come home from work and have a leisurely lunch with their families, then take a nap. They go back and work until 8pm, then go out and dance all night. The simpler things are, the happier they are."
Paltrow tells InStyle magazine: "They love each other, they love to dance, drink wine, to be together and sing. They're inspiring." While living with Julia and Jesus, she was grounded after staying out dancing past her curfew. "I started crying, saying, 'Please, oh please, let me go - I'll be good,'" she says. "When Papa was softening, (his son) Jesus Junior leaned over and whispered in my ear, 'You're going to win an Oscar one day'." The prophesy came true in 1999 when she won an Academy Award for her performance in Shakespeare In Love.
But despite her movie success, she has no time for the trappings of fame. "Life is so short and precious you should do things that make you feel inspired, that push you and teach you something," she said. "I'd rather not have a big house, a huge closet of clothes, diamonds and a private plane. I feel my thirties are about taking care of the way I've decided I want to live - being true to myself."
Last night Paltrow was at her first London premiere since the birth of fivemonthold Apple. She was at the Empire, Leicester Square, with her co-star Jude Law to promote the new sci-fi thriller Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow.
She had advice for new mothers: "Do yoga after the birth to keep your cool and get your figure back. I've just been spending as much time as I can with Apple, too, singing to her and carrying her around a lot. I think that's very important for the mother-baby bond."
The full interview appears in the November issue of InStyle, out on 1 October.Reuse content

If you are like me, you have a long list of goals that you wish to accomplish in your ministry. Well, to be honest, it's probably not so much a list, as it is a bunch of good ideas that you think about at the oddest times. A random group of thoughts and ideas that you know you are capable of accomplishing, but just never seem to have the time to get to. Below are 7 keys that will help anyone reach their goals taken from Brian Tracy's book, "Eat That Frog!"
- Define your goals: Don't waste your time working on low priority tasks when you could be accomplishing high priority goals.
- Write your goals down: This creates a level of accountability. By writing it down, your goal goes from being a vague idea to something that you can see and touch.
- Set deadlines: Most people procrastinate and wait until the last minute to get things done. By creating deadlines for your goals you create a new level of urgency and accountability.
- Make a list of everything it will take to achieve your goal: Don't worry about thinking in logical steps or priorities. The purpose is to capture as many steps as you can on what it will take to achieve your goal.
- Organize the list into a plan: Take your list and organize it by what needs to be done first. Work through the whole list until you have assigned a priority to each step you identified to reach the goal.
- Take immediate action on your plan: Begin to execute the plan. Pick the first step and do something, anything to make progress toward your goal.
- Make progress every single day toward your goal: Build your goal into your daily routine. Schedule time in your calendar, make appointments to work on your goal. Never miss a day, always accomplish some progress every single day.
If you follow these 7 keys, you can turn your vague goals into accomplished goals in no time.
What are your ministry goals for the New Year? Whats one thing you could use these 7 keys to help you accomplish? Leave a comment below.

We hope you enjoy this round of poems, and we look forward to the next.
For one to die, he need not leave
The sphere of this plateau
He need only sell his soul
To have no place to go
The courage gone, the mind controlled
With loss of all free will
With every breath, the shell remains
As he lays down to climb no hill.
Judi Caron
The Cranberry Bogs
"Alone in a dream I yearn to be with my lover as she lay
Acres of warm soft female fertile mystery
Can I be with her again
Darker shades of emotions change each moment in this
Whether flooded or dry a truth is there for me
to suffer through in sleep
When the red of the cranberry meets the blue of the
I dream of her warm moist center
where I shall never lie
She is warm beneath cold frozen water that covers the winter
And I am an angry fool with an ax
trying to smash her contentment
How do I love and not damage her soft foliage protected by the
Is it possible to desire her
not do harm to her by being this jealous man
The gentle warmth of spring time sun and gentle rains image inside
My dream that she will return again
only if I awaken the man I never was."
When he awoke he went to the Cranberry Bogs to walk the frozen surface
Looked down at the sleeping plants and fired a pistol between his moist eyes.

Wedding Song
I can't remember –
this song.
How did it go?
One more time.
Slow or soft like Sunday, open pulsing organ? All packed up, ready to go.
Or running through city streets roaring
from airplanes, dragged for miles in a blue cab, and more miles hissing through cigarette smoke.
Crashing through pharmacy aisles
Sifting through naked roads, sidewalks and raindrops
falling, falling, falling.
Or screaming through twenty-two dollar speakers,
Broken ocean why can't I hear your song anymore? Why won't you cry for me?
Why can I not see your eyes?
Solitary station, 3am, you groan like you're lonely for something. Are you?
Your music sounds sad, like crying.
One more time, just one more.
Play it again.
It was supposed to be our wedding song,
but now I can hardly hear it anymore.
Billy Mitchell
The Burning Train
It's breezy night,
My friend, appealing and gymnast,
Sitting on platform in resplendent ride
anxiously waiting for train to arrive.
Though train in motion was delayed
There arrived a train in passion
Gently in the gesticulation of gay,
Sat beside him for something to say.
First he shared what a co-traveler should
Next he exchanged what a reveler would.
He crept his hands like tortoise
towards touchy limb of my friend
My friend too was running short of leisure
That a traveler should have
When train's timing is not in favour.
My friend displays his warm generosity
To the immediate and impending priority.
Dr. Vivekanand Jha
Rainbow Tears
I'm angry, I'm not happy, I'm not very glad
My husband has cancer, I'm very sad
I'm scared and confused, don't know what to do
In the color spectrum, paint me blue
I try hard to be there to remain very strong
And I pray each day that his life will last long
I cook, clean and take care of his needs
My soul cringes, I cry "Rainbow Tears" when he bleeds
We scream and we fight, it makes no sense
Why do we do this, let's not create a fence
I want out life back, all the fun that we had
Am I wrong to want this, am I very bad
Pyramids, gondolas, castles and more
The worlds at our feet, so much to explore
The rainbow spectrum is varied and bright
We'll find the pot of gold and have a good life
Jean E. Marzilli
I Marry You In Moments
I marry you in moments
That rest upon my time
Measuring out
Degrees of hope and despair
Describing the instance of your look.
I marry you in moments
As you marry me.

BSkyB's move to offer Sky Sports channels to TalkTalk customers on a pay-per-day basis is part of a "pay light" strategy that aims to target millions of Freeview households that have resisted its monthly TV subscription packages.
Since hitting former chief executive James Murdoch's target of 10 million pay-TV subscribers in 2010, customer growth has slowed to a trickle, reaching just 10.5 million at the end of 2014, with a significant number of those new additions cheaper internet TV users.
With Sky's cheapest basic channels package costing £21.50 a month and premium packages – including sport and movie channels – starting at more than £40, the broadcaster appears to have reached the limit of the pay-TV strategy that has served it so well over more than 20 years.
On Tuesday, TalkTalk TV revealed that it has signed 732,000 customers just 15 months after launch, further proof to Sky executives that there is a significant opportunity in targeting low-cost subscription packages at the 13 million Freeview households with access to free-to-air digital terrestrial TV channels.
TalkTalk does offer monthly "boosters" to its cheap packages – tiered at £7.50 and £15 a month – to allow customers to add Sky entertainment, movies or sport packages.
However, with the boosters priced at £5, £15 and £30 respectively they have not proved overly popular with consumers who signed up for a cheap pay-TV service.
A TalkTalk spokeswoman said that a total of 25% of its customer base, 183,000, take a paid-for add-on. Just 2% of those, 15,000, go for the top-priced Sky Sports.
Now TV 'hook'
BSkyB's Now TV on-demand service aimed at pay-TV refusniks offers a pay-as-you-go "day pass", priced at £9.99, to TalkTalk TV customers.
Over the last 18 months Sky has been experimenting with low-cost brand Now TV – separately launching a £9.99 set-top box and an internet service that does not require a pay-TV subscription – to gauge demand and closely monitor cannibalisation of its core products.
"Now TV is one-tier we have got for people who might say 'I'm not yet ready to commit to a 12-month subscription, I'm worried if I buy all this content I won't consume it all. I want more of a pay-as-you-go service'," said the BSkyB chief executive, Jeremy Darroch.
"Now TV will speak very well to those people. Sky doesn't speak very well to those people because we are a full subscription service," he added. "We have chosen to have a different brand as that is one of the way we can separate both those services and not confuse customers. Over time we will see how much of that market converts."
Darroch is now significantly upping the tempo of Sky's "pay light" push by planning to offer Now TV as a package of cheap broadband, set-top box and access to TV content.
The idea is to hook consumers on a budget Sky package, then tempt them with more pay-TV content.
Now TV users can choose to pay as little as £4.99 a month for access to shows such as Game of Thrones on its entertainment channels; £8.99 a month for movies; or £9.99 for a "day pass" to sports including Premier League football.
"The encouraging thing is we are now seeing more of those [budget] customers dip their toes into pay-TV for the first time," said Darroch, although Sky declines to reveal figures on the take-up of Now TV products. "TalkTalk has had a lot of success with that as well. And so there is no reason why it can't continue to grow. We have a good 12 to 18 months of learning and progeress and can now push on with Now. It is a good way we can get to Freeview households."
Defensive move
As well as taking the offensive, Now TV acts as a defensive play, as rivals including Netflix and especially BT nip at its customer base.
Customers who take multiple products, and especially TV, from BSkyB are less likely to look to move supplier. Conversely, this is the principal reason BT made its multi-billion move into pay-TV, to protect its broadband base.
BSkyB's weakest customer segment are the almost 800,000 customers who take only "home communications", with the majority of those on a potentially easily transferable broadband-only package.
The company looks set to offer its Now TV set-top box and TV service for free to its low-end broadband customers, who pay £7.50 a month, to make them "dual-play" and thus less likely to defect.
"There are higher churn rates on standalone broadband customers for obvious reasons," says Claudio Aspesi, senior analyst at Bernstein Research. "By offering a package Sky will hope they upgrade to a subscription over time, triple-play subs have lower churn. It is extremely clever, much better than the alternative of holding on to customers by continually discounting."
BT makes headway
While BSkyB's financial position, and customer numbers, have so far proven resilient to BT's marketing push there are signs its rival is making headway in the market.
BT is offering free access to BT Sport content including Premier League football to customers who take BT broadband.
On Friday the company reported that in the period to the end of December it had its best two quarters of sign-ups of broadband customers in over two years (156,000 and 150,000).
BT TV subscribers grew by 53,000 to 956,000 in the final three months of the year, its most since 2008.
"Half the population don't have pay-TV and Sky don't want to cede that to rivals, who have proven there is a chunky market of untapped potential pay-TV customers," said Aspesi. "A portion has proven they are willing to spend, but growth is at the low end, they are not willing to pay anything near the price point of [typical] Sky [packages]."

We know that our actions influence other beings, human or not … And that, to adopt an animal, make a lot of good for them, to the world and to ourselves, right?
If the adopted animals come from a shelter, a place opens to another needy! If we take on our own, is one less abandoned in the streets … The statistics are sad: the life expectancy of animals living on the streets is only 3 years, compared with 15, 20, if they live in our company!
Furthermore, a couple of animals can give successive generations over 10 years, and 2 calves per year, from 2 to 8 pups per litter. That is, statistically speaking, the end of 10 years, one couple of animals generated a population of 80,799,780 !!!(Source: American Humane Association)
So it is up to us to solve the problem of overpopulation! After all, you do not extend your hand to a friend who asks for help?
10 reasons NOT to buy animals
1- Many puppies from breeding are not treated well before they reach the stores. Many have come to diseases and adverse conditions such as neurological problems, eye problems, hip dysplasia, blood disorders, canine parvovirus, among others.
2 Behavioral problems are also common, arising from indiscriminate breeding. You will also find that the animals sellers may not have any knowledge about the origin of puppies and behavioral characteristics of each race, as well as their respective needs.
3- socialization problems: often the puppies are removed from the litter too early, with only 4 or 5 weeks. The first puppy should be separated from his mother at 8 weeks at least. This lack of socialization time with his brothers means that the animal will not develop skills that are generally learned in this period.
4 Owners of pet stores are usually not experts in a race and often not on pets in general. Buying a puppy in a specialty store does not mean you will have access to all information relevant to animal health and welfare, for example, the seller may not be able to warn you about specific health problems that a particular breed is prone.
5 Most pet stores offer the exchange of guarantee that the animal shows any problems. However, they do not tend to tell customers what the fate of the animal unfit for sale, once returned. And what happens to them then?
6 In most cases, animals in pet shops spend their lives caged, hoping to appear interested. They do not have the opportunity to develop, for example, the natural instinct to make their needs away from their food and bed. This causes problems when you try to teach them.
- Buying a puppy in a pet shop, you are encouraging the exploitation of matrices that only serve to play. The procreative females are exploited to serve not more so. And when that happens are, in many cases, abandoned.
- Do not give money to animal exploiters! Most puppies that are in stores comes from kennels without origin. Have you ever wondered about how these animals are raised? Often, they are mass reproduction of fruit, money being the main motivation and they are seen and treated as products.
- Have you ever wondered why the price of a puppy falls when he gets older? It is because it is becoming a problem. Once we age, its value decreases. Ever wondered what happens to it if it is not sold?
10- There are an infinite number of dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and personalities that need a home. So why not adopt? In Brazil, there are more than 5 million abandoned animals. Unable an adoption, most are destined to live in total abandonment in the streets, where they suffer abuse, cold, hunger and are susceptible to diseases from poor hygiene and poor diet.
So think and ponder. To stimulate this kind of trade is in practice supporting the backyard breeders and traders whose animal welfare is what matters least.

KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – Gulf oil producers led by Saudi Arabia will likely reject output cuts at an OPEC meeting next week unless they are guaranteed their market share in a highly competitive market, analysts say.
The stance of Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia is seen as crucial for a positive OPEC decision on reducing supplies to boost crude prices, which have shed a third of their value since June.
The four pump a total 16.2 million barrels per day, or 52 per cent of the 12-member Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, but they account for two-thirds of the cartel's exports, according to figures from OPEC and other agencies. "OPEC members are looking at Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and UAE to shoulder the bulk of any production cuts, and they can," said Kuwaiti oil expert Kamel al-Harami.
"But it is extremely unlikely for Gulf states to accept output cuts unless other OPEC members take the initiative… They need assurances other OPEC or non-OPEC producers won't fill the gap," said the former oil executive.
"It is not in the interest of the Gulf states to cut output because they risk losing highly valuable market share," he told AFP. Oil prices have crashed to four-year lows on dampening demand from a combination of factors including a sluggish world economy.

EMERGING MARKETS-Brazil markets down after Temer charged with corruption
By Bruno Federowski SAO PAULO, June 27 Brazil's stocks and currency slipped on Tuesday after the country's top federal prosecutor charged President Michel Temer with taking multimillion-dollar bribes. In a document submitted to the Supreme Court, Rodrigo Janot said Temer "fooled Brazilian citizens" and owed the nation millions in compensation for accepting bribes. The lower house of Congress must now vote on whether to allow the tribunal to try the conservative leader.

Heading into Orlando Antigua's first season as head coach of South Florida, a point of emphasis made would be the Bulls' transition into a more aggressive, up tempo style of offense. The crowd at the Sun Dome certainly got a glimpse of what is to come as USF held off IU-Pennsylvania 77-72 in their first and only exhibition contest of the season.
Three particular players stood out for a particularly young Bulls lineup returning only three players to the entire roster. Senior guard Corey Allen Jr. made his impact felt throughout the entire contest, racking up 17 points, two assists, and one rebound.
It was Allen's fearless aggressiveness in driving towards/attacking the rim that gave the fans a taste of what is to be expected from Antigua's running offense moving forward.
With the game tight in early on in the second half, transfer junior Center Jaleel Cousins provided a huge presence inside that allowed the Bulls to somewhat distance themselves from IUP for the rest of the game.
Getting into foul trouble early on in the first half, the younger brother of Sacramento Kings superstar DeMarcus Cousins was able to provide a boost to a USF team struggling inside, providing 13 points, five rebounds, and three blocks.
"In the 1st half, I got into foul trouble with 2 fouls," Cousins said after the game, "I kind of had to calm down a little bit and be less aggressive a tad bit so I could come back in the 2nd half and turn it up."
Yet, certainly the impact star of the game was the returning veteran Guard Anthony Collins, the only person in the program still remaining from the 2012 NCAA Tournament team. Missing the majority of last season due to knee injury, Collins jumped out the gate this season, putting up an impressive stat line of 22 points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals on 36 minutes of action.
Afterwards, the Houston native talked about his eagerness to get out on the court for the first time in nearly a year. "It felt like I was coming out of high school again, my first college game all over again. But after the ball was tipped in the air, I was fine."
Coaching his first game as the head man at USF, Coach Antigua came away proud by the poise and resiliency of his young team. "I was impressed by how we weathered the storm. There were ups and downs and for a young team to be able to have a lead, get close to losing it and be able to respond and finish out a game early, I was impressed with that."
With a full offseason of conditioning, practice, and an exhibition game in the books, it is now officially show time for the young Bulls team and coaching staff. They will spend the upcoming week practicing and preparing for their official home season opener on Friday November 14th at 7 pm against Flagler College. The game will be broadcasted on Bullscast.

Above you can see a view of the Brothers' Chapel at St Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster. Above the altar to the right is St Bruno and above the altar to the left is St John the Baptist. This is my route into the main choir (through the doors between the altars) after I have given my class. Today I joined the community for Vespers of "St Michael and the Archangels". As it is a major feast, we had the proper antiphons from the Antiphonale Diurnum, a heavy, vellum bound volume studded with brass and large enough for three monks to view together. Again because of the solemnity, incense was used at Vespers. Fr Vicar in cuculla incensed the altar, and a brother incensed each member of the choir. The thurible is a little shorter than one that might be used in a parish and it is used with one hand only - one swing for each member of choir.
Today there was also a short period of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament after Vespers. Between the choir stalls and the bookrests in choir, the floor slopes and there is a penitential strip of wood about 1/2" x 1/2". I find it difficult to keep still during the preces but I do like the custom of kneeling for the initial Gloria after the Deus in adiutorium and then kissing the bookrest as a sign of penance. The monks have to do this if they make a mistake in chanting - sometimes a group of three all kneel down together at the end of a verse - someone has probably put the other two off but they all take the blame.
For adoration, we all moved down the choir towards the altar so were sideways on and had to kneel at about 45 degrees on the slope. I'm afraid I made a rather poor job of trying to do this with dignity. Fortunately, for the major silent part of the adoration, the community sits half-facing the altar. That was a relief!

It's winter and my Nokia N95 has flu. But it's late, and I am ignoring its coughs and splutters and reading a great book which I reckon could be well on its way to becoming a school history text book. It's about how technology and telecommunications flattened the world. How online phenomena such as Google and Facebook understood the power of the Internet and their brands spread like viral wildfire.

The Technine Lucas Magoon Pro model bindings for 2010/2011 at first glance really catch your attention. First thing you notice is the evil Chuckie graphic all over them, (which looks really good by the way). The bindings come equipped with an all new Scrub hook highback, aluminum heelcup, dual density ankle straps, tool free adjustable ladders, adjustable toe and heel ramps and different positions for highback rotation.
The flex of the binding are dialed in for the urban to park feel giving you a softer flex. The molded one piece EVA techbed gives you a comfortable foot bed for those hard impact landings. The bindings will be offered in two colorways white and black matching the Magoon Pro Model Boards.
First hand I would have to say the best thing about these bindings is the Scrub Hook Highbacks. The amount of response you get from these is unbelievable and is a definite must try. It not only gives you ultimate carving control toe to heel, but will give you that extra little something you need when pressing out a rail or box in the park. It somehow also adds a little more ease and comfort when riding up the chairlift. The toe and ankle straps were very comfortable as well as the EVA foot bed. All in all I would recommend these bindings to anyone, and would consider picking up a pair for myself.

Use of hybrid ventilation techniques for improved energy efficiency of fan systems
Clark, Craig
MetadataShow full item record
The goal of this thesis was to improve the energy efficiency of building ventilation systems by exploring new methods of applying natural ventilation concepts. Strictly natural systems have limitations in which climates they can function or can provide optimal performance; these limitations lead to the use of mechanical or hybrid ventilation. This study looked at methods of combining the operation of the systems, such that the natural components improve the efficiency of the mechanical system.

We can do something about poverty and inequity in our community.
Research & Evaluate
We don't shy away from data. At United Way, we embrace data and use it to drive our decision-making process. Each year our Research & Evaluation team publishes the Community Indicators Report with data on educational outcomes, economic prosperity, health and social isolation in our community. We use this data to make decisions about funding and to educate the public about the issues facing their neighbors.
We seek out the brightest and the best. Every three years, we invite grant proposals from top-notch health and human service providers across the eleven localities we serve. Groups of volunteers then make decisions about which programs to fund in the areas of education, income, and health. These investments are tracked throughout the year and evaluated annually.
Partner & Advocate
We see the big picture. You can help one person; we could fund a single program. But our work goes further when we step back to examine larger factors such as public policy, quality, access, or duplication of services that make provision of services less effective or efficient. When we work on both the micro and macro levels, we maximize our resources and multiply our impact. That's why United Way leads strategic partnerships and advocates to improve human services in our region.

Celtics-Hawks Preview
Associated Press | Last updated January 05, 2013
The Boston Celtics have gained a reputation as a very good defensive team the last few years, but that wasn't the case at all during a recent four-game skid. While they returned to form for at least one night, they will need more consistency to get back on track after sliding below .500. Boston will also try to snap a three-game road losing streak when it faces the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. The Celtics (15-17) ended a four-game slide with Friday's 94-75 win against Indiana after entering the contest a season-worst three games below .500. "You could tell we needed this win, and that's how we came out tonight," said Kevin Garnett, who tied a team high with 18 points before he was ejected in the fourth quarter for a Flagrant 2 foul when he flailed his hands and hit Tyler Hansbrough in the face. "We needed a win. Tonight was the night to stop the bleeding. I felt like we did that." In the four previous losses, Boston had allowed 104.5 points per game and opponents shot 50.5 percent from the field. The Celtics held teams to 97.0 ppg through their first 27. Friday's performance was much closer to the trademark defense Boston has played largely since acquiring Garnett in the summer of 2007. The Celtics led the league in field-goal percentage defense (43.1) and scoring defense (92.1) over the last five seasons. They limited Indiana to a season-low 31.8 percent shooting. Paul George and David West - the team's top two scorers - finished with a total of 19 points on 8 of 36 from the field. "It was only a matter of time before their defense bounced back and it bounced back in a big way tonight," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. The Celtics will still need better offense too, as they averaged 84.8 points during their slump, and Friday's output was below the season mark of 95.4. Finding sources of offense has been a challenge with only two players reaching the 20-point mark in the last six games. Paul Pierce and Jason Terry each had 20 in a 118-96 loss at Sacramento on Dec. 30. Rajon Rondo's 11.6 assists still lead the NBA, but that figure accounts for more than half of the team's game average (23.1). Josh Smith continues to lead the Hawks (20-11) with 16.9 ppg, but Atlanta isn't getting many contributions from outside its starting lineup. Better scoring from the reserves could be even more crucial going forward as Smith aggravated a hip pointer in Friday's 85-84 loss at Detroit, though he scored a team-high 20. He missed a game Dec. 29 with a similar injury. Atlanta's bench is averaging 26.4 points over an eight-game span since Dec. 21, one of the league's lowest figures during that stretch. They were outscored 41-14 by the Pistons' second unit, though the Hawks reeled off a 16-0 run to cut the deficit to 83-82 with 3:13 left. "Josh said he could still go, but when we got down 17 late in the third, I got him out of there," coach Larry Drew said. "After that, when the guys were making a run, I didn't want to change things. I did put Josh out there for the last possession, though. He wanted to be out there." Boston has won four of six against Atlanta, including two of three last season. Rondo had a triple-double (10 points, 20 assists, 10 rebounds) in an 88-86 victory on April 11.
