Tuesday afternoon, fourth-grade students from Zion Lutheran School in Lincoln paid a visit to
St. Clara's Manor.
They were there to spend some
time visiting with the residents and to color Easter eggs,
something that everyone enjoyed.
St. Clara's activity director
Penny Tipton said the kids came last year and spent some time
coloring eggs with the seniors. The residents enjoyed the time
so much, that this year she asked if they would come back, and
they were happy to do so.
The children and the residents
all benefit from having a special activity together. It helps
children connect with an older generation, and for the seniors, it
gives them a refreshing new experience and a chance to laugh and
have fun with kids.

Bahrain is to begin privatizing governmental services under the guidance of a specially created supervisory body, according to a GNA report. The news agency said that the Shura—the Bahraini consultative council—backed on Tuesday, March 27, a proposal to set up a supreme privatization council, which is to be chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa Bin Salman Al-Khalifa.
The privatization council's members will include the finance and national economy minister, commerce minister, oil and industry minister and labor and social affairs minister, in addition to five "qualified members from the private sector, with knowledge and expertise in the financial and economic field," according to the draft bill.
The Shura Chairman Ibrahim Humaidan stated after the council discussed a report by the legal affairs committee on a privatization draft law. The draft affirms that privatization is part of the country's economic policy for the sake of achieving constant development, and to upgrade the ratio of development, and distribute development revenues on a greater section of the society, the GNA reported.
The Shura, which acts as a parliament, pending establishment of an elected legislature in 2003, reviewed 25 clauses in a privatization master plan, which will now go back to the cabinet for final approval.
A variety of safeguards have been built into the draft. "For instance, no Shura member or council employee, or any member of their families, will be allowed to own or run companies which take over Government services," reported the Gulf Daily News.
Government employees whose departments are privatized will be secure in their jobs for a period of at least three years, with the same benefits. Consumer rights will also be protected, with strict standards on prices and quality of services, the lawmakers agreed.
Bahrainis Okayed constitutional changes in a referendum mid-February that won 97.4 percent of the votes. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

Andy Palmer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 134 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
RiverGlide / riverglide
RiverGlide are a recently formed company. Finding our name was a very long and difficult journey, as we wanted a name that reflected our values, which are:
Trust and Transparency - We are completely open and honest, we don't include hidden fees or artificially inflate our prices so that we can "negotiate"
Integrity and Courage - If something is wrong, we point it out, even when that may lose us the work. We have the courage to take responsibility for our actions.
Innovate and Grow - We are committed to continously learning new and better ways of doing our jobs. We encourage our people to learn new things and we inspire those we work with.
After we found the name, we came up with the slogan "Flow without Friction". This relates to how we view our role when working with our customers. Our job is to make the work progress as smoothly as possible, always in the most appropriate direction. We came up with this after we found the name, but we feel it underpins all of the original values.
Our plan for the company is to be a place where innovation happens, so we don't want to tie ourselves to any particular product. We currently work in the IT industry, giving training, mentoring and writing software. We would like a logo that would work equally well if we decided to start an airline (think of the Virgin brand)
Our current target audience is the senior management of companies that are working with technology (not necessarily technology companies). We need our logo and branding to carry an appropriate feeling of professionalism and to reflect the values that are central to our company. That is, we need to balance our fun attitude without putting off conservative customers.
In the future, we will probably move into the consumer market, so we need something that will work equally well in that arena.
Our website (http://riverglide.com) currently has our very basic attempt at a logo. We kind of like the colors, but they are not compulsory.
Our name came about from the idea that we are not stuck in our ways, we are constantly moving and changing.
The brand should be generic enough that we can use it to brand any products that we imagine in the future. For example, the Virgin brand has remained strong for nearly 40 years and does not describe any specific product.
I think I've done a reasonable job of describing where we are coming from, but please ask me clarifying questions if you want

When I write a blog post I always enter the title last. Because even if I have intentions to write about a certain subject you really never know what's going to come out.
Looks like we have some hot topics today!
Let's start with Scotts Antique Show in Atlanta.
Here are some of my finds...
I love a good pile of babydoll heads in the morning.
Next day: Market
Quick trip, but I took a bunch of pictures so I could remember what I saw.
Nancy Price/ Design Legacy showroom...
Amy Howard...
Four Hands...
Blue Ocean Traders...
BoBo's Intriguing Objects (always a favorite):
Then I headed down to Lake Martin for a much needed girls weekend. Felt good to be a lake rat.
Oh, and I was excited to finally eat brunch at Spring House- the new(ish) restaurant that people have been raving about. If chef Chris Hastings has anything to do with the food I'm there!Tracery Interiors also did such a great job with the furnishings and details.
I loved the plank walls...
and the rock garden...
To see more pictures of the restaurant (I was clearly too busy stuffing my face) visit their portfolio here.
Last Topic:
My dad has recently become a beekeeper, which I find really cool. (Yes Dad you read that correctly) It's such an intricate, fascinating process.
So despite my minor fear of bees, I got all strapped in, zipped up and ready to enter their busy territory.
"They won't bother you, Rachel."
Riiiight... Honey badger don't care.
I learned the hard way that bees don't mind stinging you through custom fitted skinny jeans. Ouch.
Note to self:Don't try to be a hipster while harvesting honey. You already lost the battle when you put kitchen gloves on.

Dear All
We have a partitioned table CALL and this is partitioned according to the months.One of it's partitions has grown to around 56 GB and is still growing as data for forthcoming months is also going into this partition.
This CALL table has several procedures as well as packages associated with it. Now we have decided to rename this table and then re-create a new partitioned table month wise and then copy the data back into this new table. But the problem is that when i rename the table all my procedures and packages will get invalid ,
My Questtion is that when i create a new partitioned table CALL then will all my procedures and packages get validated and also my application will get back to normal.
Thanks and Regards

Trained as a painter at the École des Beaux Arts de Versailles, Hazelzet blends this background with his photography in hybrid self-portraits that exist between reality and fantasy. The works begin as photographs that Hazelzet manipulates in the darkroom. He then adds paint directly to the negative, printing the resulting works as photographs. Working in this distinctive and enigmatic way, the artist ultimately obscures as much as he reveals, both of his process and of himself.

Barring a major upset at the World Cup, Argentina will finish at the top of Group F and let the other three teams compete for second place.
On paper, not much separates African champion Nigeria and Bosnia-Herzegovina, while Iran appears to be the long shot to earn a place in the round of 16.
Here are five things to know about Group F:
This is Nigeria's fifth World Cup and the fourth time they have been put in the same group as Argentina.
The South Americans have won each encounter so far by a single goal, including a 1-0 victory in 2010.
Argentina also came out ahead when the two nations met in the 2008 Olympic final.
Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria and Sergio Aguero Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has more attacking talent than he can fit into the lineup.
By comparison, the defense doesn't look quite as impressive.
Still, concerns about Argentina's vulnerability in the back shouldn't be exaggerated. The team conceded only 15 goals in 16 qualifying matches.
Of the 32 countries in the tournament, only Bosnia-Herzegovina is making its first World Cup appearance.
Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Safet Susic has seen World Cup action before, though. As a player he participated in the 1982 and 1990 tournaments for Yugoslavia.
Iran isn't likely to rattle its opponents with technical brilliance, but watch out for set pieces.
Of the 30 goals the Iranians scored in qualifying, nine came on corner kicks or free kicks.
Bosnia-Herzegovina also scored 30 goals in World Cup qualifying, but in only 10 matches (Iran played 16).
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko accounted for one-third of Bosnia's tally, scoring 10 goals. Only Robin van Persie of the Netherlands scored more goals in the European qualifying groups with 11.

Odds are good, yours is, tooOdds are good, yours is, too
If the kids left the door ajar with the air-conditioning running, you'd close it. If the windows were open and it grew too chilly, you'd shut them. If a tree crashed through your roof, you'd get it fixed.
So you'd probably be surprised to learn that your home has a gaping hole — or its equivalent, made up of hundreds or even thousands of tiny points of ingress and egress, where air flows in or out.
"It's like you have a four-foot hole in your wall," was how Craig Walker explained it to me.
I am by no means alone.
"Most homes, even new ones, are one-and-one-half to four times as leaky as they should be," said Walker, one of the two technicians from Complete Home Solutions conducting my home energy audit. "If you lived in Hawaii, you wouldn't care."
I'd heard about home energy audits, where trained technicians scour your house for cracks, gaps and all sorts of inefficiencies, pinpointing where your heating, cooling and electricity dollars are going to waste. We've upgraded all our appliances to EnergyStar models and we've replaced many of our incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents, but I still suspected that our 40-something-year-old home might be guilty of more than a few inefficiencies.
|Justin Moore tests the efficiency of the furnace.
Much if not the entire $400 audit is now paid for by your local utility company.
But like the soil test that our own Bay Gardener regularly urges us to have, I just hadn't made that energy audit a priority. Some things you get used to living with, like a spotty, weed-ridden yard. Or a house that's cold and drafty in the winter and hot and oppressive in the summer.
Besides, having lived in older houses all my life — with my current home, built in 1969, the youngest — I've always chalked up cold drafts to outdated windows or poorly insulated walls. Without air-conditioning, aren't all houses in the Mid-Atlantic unbearable during summer?
That's where Walker and co-worker Justin Moore set me straight. As they explained, most houses are hard to properly heat and cool because of one culprit: air leakage.
In my case, the small but myriad points of ingress and egress were turning my home into a giant fan, pulling in air from below and expelling it above, robbing me of 30 to 40 percent of any heated or cooled air.
Every home, Walker explained, has a point of neutral pressure. Below that point, cooler air will be drawn in any gaps, while above the neutral point, warmer air escapes through any openings, in a process called conductive looping. Turning up the thermostat only exacerbates the problem, as it increases the flow of warm air, speeding up the process like turning a fan to high.
"A lot of people's first reaction is more insulation," Walker said. "But most folks don't realize that insulation doesn't stop air."
"On a windy day, a sweater by itself doesn't do a very good job of keeping you warm," Moore elaborated. "But if you put on a layer of something like Under Armour, that stops the air from getting in."
It's the same for your home.
"You've got to stop air going out and air coming in," Moore said.
|Craig Walker reads airflow results from the blower fan.
Peeling back a batt of fiberglass insulation from the attic floor, Walker, a retired Prince George's County firefighter, revealed the evidence of rampant airflow. Where the fiberglass overlapped the framing from the walls below, the underside was plastered with dirt and dust. Yuck!
"A lot of the things we look for as home auditors are things we look for in the fire service, like air flow," he said.
Cavities between the studs in a wall and the joists of a floor act as natural ducts, Walker explained, channeling air from below up to the top, and providing the path by which fire would spread through a house. In a far less dramatic display, the air flowing through these cavities was wreaking a different kind of havoc every day.
Airflow hit home when Moore attached a red-cowled blower to the front door. Having sealed the house as tightly as possible, he fired up the fan. If a house were perfectly sealed, our ears would have popped in the vacuum. They didn't.
No house, Walker assured me, is perfectly sealed. "A house doesn't need to breathe," he said. "People need to breathe." So a healthy house exchanges 35 percent of its air each hour.
The blower fan allows energy auditors to extrapolate how much airflow a sealed house allows. Standing before a closed door, I felt a strong flow of air coming from within. At the top of the basement stairs, air came at me as if a fan were directed my way. Even around some door and window frames, I could feel a stirring. As if this weren't enough, Moore roamed the house with a handheld thermal imaging gun, which displayed even the smallest air breaches in full-colored relief on its small LCD screen.
By the time the fan powered down, I was not surprised to learn that my house was allowing almost three times the ideal airflow.
Stopping the airflow was first and foremost on Walker and Moore's list. While the process is pretty straightforward, a matter of caulk, spray foam and weather stripping, it's more than I would want to take on as a fairly capable weekend warrior. Once the leaks are sealed, they recommend beefing up the insulation from the attic to the basement to the garage ceiling — basically anywhere an inside surface of the house comes into contact with the outside.
What surprised me most was their advice on the attic.
|Moore installs the red-cowled blower fan in the front door.
They urged me to think of that unfinished space as the outside. After sealing it off from below and blowing in insulation to more than double its depth, they encouraged me to close it off and more or less abandon the space.
It's not living space, they explained, and by closing it off, I would be shrinking the space in my home needing heating and cooling. Better yet, with all that insulation, I would be isolating the attic's extreme temperature swings and keeping that conductive energy from affecting the living space. "Without enough insulation," Walker said, "your attic in the summer is like a giant radiator."
In the final report, presented a few days later, my home's shortcomings were all spelled out, often with accompanying photos, along with the steps to correct the faults. At the end, these suggestions were broken into three differently priced packages, from fixing everything — under $15,000 — to focusing on only the most egregious problems — around $8,000 — to something in between. Of the three bids, all would qualify for a tax credit of 50 percent of the cost up to a total of $2,000.
I haven't yet decided how to proceed, but the knowledge that I have gained makes the audit a winning experience. For instance, I now understand that even if I spend $50,000 to replace all my windows, as some companies have bid, my house would still be as leaky and cold as before.
Moore had to hunt through the house for lamps and fixtures still using incandescent bulbs, for part of the audit is, he said "replacing up to 12 bulbs with compact fluorescents." He also installed low-low-flow aerators to any faucets without them, then wrapped the visible hot water pipes. "All this adds up to a value of a couple hundred dollars," Moore told me
When you add in the rebates and the point-of-service installations, you might think the program was free. But in truth, you and I and every other person with an electric bill in Maryland is already paying for it. As part of the Empower Maryland legislation to reduce energy consumption, every utility bill in Maryland includes an eight- or nine-cent monthly surcharge to underwrite the cost of home audits.
So don't let your money — or your energy — go to waste. Schedule your own home energy audit.

Best Greek food in Tucson so if you like Greek food go check out them at the American Eat Co on 4th Ave. Best customer service and they treat everyone very well there.
I highly recommend this place to everyone love there food there. If I could give them 10 Stars here I would.... This place is so awesome and anything you order from there menu is amazing
Now closed according to the AZDS:
This is our second review - see 2011 review. Service continues to be a major issue at Opa. I asked twice for a drink refill. Put it this way. I ended up leaving my seat and walking over the beverage fountain to refill my glass myself. Awful! The free humus they give you remains very band too. But for five bucks the gyros during lunch are a deal. But don't add fries or a salad b/c you won't need all that extra food. Plus your five dollar meal will turn into an eight or nine dollar lunch.
I forgot to add a rating to my review a moment ago.
I wanted to like this place, the location is handy. But the food was not all that good. The lemon chicken soup I thought was canned because the carrots were mush, the chicken seemed canned, but the pleasant waitress wearing a see-through Grecian chiffon dress that showed off her heavily tattooed body (but she had to wear white hose to cover her tattoed legs because the boss didn't like tattoed legs,) and tiara on her head told me it was made fresh, but it didn't have any flavor. The boss is absent, the plan for an organic farm fell through although there are signs advertising the non-existent farm as providing organic food and goat milk and cheese for the restaurant, and one wonders if this restaurant will stay in business. With good management it could do well. The owner is indeed a fat Greek, he must weight 300 pounds and I am wary of dining in a place where the owner is so obese as it means the food is not healthy. I like Greek food, but have not found a Greek restaurant in Tucson as good as Athens of Fourth downtown but they are not open for lunch.
Eating here was the worst dinning experience that I have ever had in any restaurant ever. I went with my grandparents and one of their elderly friends who had suggested the place and wanted to teat us. We started out by ordering a few appetizers and I bit into something rancid. We instructed the waitress to take away the remainder of that appetizer tray and to bring me a clean plate so I could finish sharing the other appetizers. She asked us if we wanted to order another appetizer and we said no, that would be fine, just bring a clean plate please. She did, and we went on. Then a guy, who I assume was the manager, actually brought the remainder of the appetizer plate back to our table and demanded to know who said that the food tasted rancid. I said I did. He said he didn't understand and that he didn't think that I knew what the word rancid even meant. That it meant rotten. I was blown away. I was trying to be discreet because the friend had highly recommended this restaurant and was picking up the tab, and now the manager is hovering over our table with the tray in hand, telling me that that it must be the balsamic vinegar that I'm tasting, and that I don't know rotten, slimy spinach when I just spit it out of my mouth! To make things even worse, he goes on and on to tell me I should order something else, that If I think that tastes bad, than I'm not going to like the Greek salad that I ordered as a side dish to my entrée because that's "just the way it tastes". And you know what, I didn't. It was completely bland and dry. But that's besides the fact that no body enjoyed their meals after that absurd encounter. Being there with octogenarians, I didn't react the way I wanted to. We tried to mumble through with some awkward jokes about him coming back out to ask me if I knew the definitions of more words, but it was still embarrassing. Can you imagine what would have been like if it was a dinner with clients or people from work? I will definitely never go there again with anyone, for any reason, and I suggest no one else does either.
Horrible food and rude waitresses who belittle customers. This is why the place is always empty
Never a chain "ethnic" restaurant, EVER! This is what On The Border is to mexican and Olive Garden is to Italian
Terrible food and service. Better options for Greek food here in town.
A real restaurant. Well run, professional, good food, actually decorated. A reliable place to put on the list.
Long Long Long wait for everything!! also, when i asked for a to go box, they brought a dirty one! ughhh!!! really?! very dissapointed
The food was fabulous, the service even moreso! We never had to wait for a thing...they seemed to know what we needed before we did. The baklava is baked there and is the best I've ever had! I had mousakka and my husband had the grilled lamb, and both were great! It will be a regular on our 'regular list!
I find it odd that and Greek restaurant serves spaghetti and they uses large flour Mexican tortillas as gyro wraps. Except for the watered down humus, my main course was pretty decent though. The lamb was tender and tasty. I should also mention, for readers sake, that it took several minutes before we were seated and they weren't not that busy. They also brought our food and forgot to set the table before hand, no silverware! The latter two aspects are why I chose to give Opa a two overall.
Only speaking of the campus location. Best gyro in town, hands down! Great fries, reasonable prices and staff have always been freindly.
Can't understand folks willingness to dine on a patio a sidewalks distance from a major dirty smelly road like Broadway. 5 Guys And A Burger is about to do the same thing at Broadway and Craycroft. R.I.P Monkey Burger.
It's a damn shame they had to go and give the place that name. The whole "Big Fat Greek ___" thing has been PLAYED for years now.
Had a great time with the family for dinner. Staff was helpful and quick. Food was good.
First the bad news. Awful service! None of the floor staff is attentive. Now for the good, or at least better, news. Decent portions of fair tasting Americanized Greek food.
Every time me and my husband come back to Tucson for a visit, Opa is on our list. The food is fantastic and the service is very personable. One of the best Greek restaurants I've ever been to.
This place is great. My husband and I enjoy the hummas and pita platter that comes promptly after being seated, as well as the gyros and the spanikopta. The walls are painted with murals to look like a Greek countryside. OPA! is an all round pleasent option.

Beyonce and her younger sister Solange proved they were firmly Team Tina in terms of their parents' divorce. The singers were both no-shows at their father Mathew Knowles' wedding.
Knowles tied the knot with former model Gena Avery on Sunday, June 30, in the Knowles' hometown of Houston, Texas. But Bey and Solange weren't making their pops' nuptials a priority. That may have to do with the fact that Knowles and ex-wife (and mama to Bey and Sol) Tina split in 2009 when it was revealed that Mathew had a love child by an actress. Whoops!
Knowles told TMZ that his girls sent their regretful declines because they had other plans already. Considering Solange is busy on the festival circuit and Queen Bey is embarking on the Mrs. Carter Show tour, the idea that they had a lot on their plates isn't too far fetched — especially if the wedding was planned after their itineraries were in place. Still, Knowles and Avery were engaged for over a year, so…
In any case, Knowles explained, "Unfortunately, Beyonce and Solange had previous engagements, which made it impossible for them to attend."
To quote Beyonce in 'Grown Woman': "Mmmhmmm."

Dear Readers:
I came across this letter the editor of the Newtown Bee wrote to his colleagues in the newspaper business. The letter was distributed through the New England News and Press Association, a trade organization for newspapers. I found the letter poignant and thoughtful and wanted to pass it along so people could understand there are members of the media who care about the way they report tragedy and care deeply about the victims and their families. — Mary Pat Rowland, managing editor, Foster's Daily Democrat.
The letter follows:
"Dear NENPA Members and to all our colleagues,
As I submit this update 12 days after Newtown suffered its most devastating tragedy, our community is still in a deep state of shock and grieving for those lost and the many others who will bear the burden of what they witnessed at the Sandy Hook School on December 14. But thanks to the increasing sensitivity of media outlets covering the story, our families, our own local and regional clergy and the world community that has wrapped Newtown in its collective arms — signs of healing are beginning to present.
On behalf of our Newtown Bee staff, I cannot thank you enough for listening to our request to respect the privacy of survivors, responders, school staff and others who may have been involved in the shooting or its aftermath. I have to believe that when and if these individuals are ready, they will reach out or open their doors to individual media attention.
In the meantime, my fellow staffers remain so very touched by the thoughts and wishes coming to us directly from colleagues across North America and around the globe. The Newtown Bee and our community continues to be awestruck by the outpouring of physical donations, and of monetary gifts to the primary benefit funds established following the event.
I am updating you today at the request of a group of Newtown officials including First Selectman Pat Llodra, Police Chief Michael Kehoe and School Superintendent Janet Robinson. Within a few days of the shooting, the deluge of goods — teddy bears, food, clothes, school supplies, blankets, toys, letters, cards, candles and artwork — quickly overwhelmed the community's ability to receive, process, store and distribute what was arriving.
As of today, community leaders are pleading for the world media communicate to readers, listeners and viewers to temporarily halt any further dispatching of goods to the community, its schools, churches and nonprofit organizations. They are asking that any items already collected be distributed within the areas or communities of origin with Newtown's deepest gratitude, and in memory of those we lost on December 14.
Once the community has sorted and processed the warehouses full of items already received, officials will reach out again clarifying the best ways to provide assistance and support. Please know that the immediate needs of the survivors, victims, school staff and responders are being met.
If any NENPA outlets or partners in the media are inclined, they are invited to direct readers, viewers and listeners to nsbonline.com for information on donating to a primary relief fund established shortly after the incident. Officials are assuring donors that proceeds from this fund will be used to help the Newtown/Sandy Hook community in their efforts to deal with this tragedy, and that a panel of community members is being organized to attend to its eventual distributions.
The funds co-organizer, United Way of Western Connecticut, is only applying external processing fees to donations received for this Sandy Hook School Support Fund by Internet, phone, or texting NEWTOWN to 80888. There will be no United Way or bank management fees attached to any donations to this Fund.
The Newtown Bee will continue to list the growing number of other efforts and funds that have, or will be established in the days ahead. And we invite you to look to our website and publication as a resource for the most immediate and accurate information about these efforts.

Gold Smuggling Takes Off in India
Curbs on Imports Aim at Supporting Rupee; The Case of the Golden Staples
NEW DELHI—A fishing boat slid into the southern Indian coastal village of Kodikkarai late one evening in mid-June, carrying a cargo from Sri Lanka: a stack of gold bars weighing more than 40 pounds.
Four men jumped off the boat and headed for waiting Jeeps. Unfortunately for them, government sleuths were there, tax officials say, nabbing the men before they could sell the gold in the nearby city of Chennai, a trading hub for the precious metal....

Viral Kinetics of Treatment With Peginterferon Alpha-2a, Ribavirin and Epoetin β in Patients Coinfected HCV/HIV
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Peginterferon alfa-2a, Ribavirin, epoetin-β Drug: Peginterferon alfa-2a + Ribavirin for 12 weeks
|Phase 4
This study seeks to ascertain whether treatment with higher doses of PEGASYS (270 µg/week) and ribavirin (1600 mg/day) for the first four weeks achieves the plasma concentrations of the product in the blood needed to reduce the half-life of the virions and accelerate the elimination thereof. This would bring the viral kinetic curves in coinfected patients closer to the model described for mono-infected HCV patients, probably achieving improved rates of response in week 12 (early virological response) and posterior in week 72 (sustained virological response).
Therefore, the patients were randomised to treatment with two different doses, 270 µg and 180 µg of PEGASYS, and 1600 mg and 1000-1200 mg of ribavirin.

The Czech Republic has a centuries-long tradition in spa treatment and during the years has earned an exceptional reputation, also thanks to several hundred natural springs and large deposits of mineral-rich mud.
Especially throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Czech spas were among popular places in Europe and were visited by a number of royalty and famous people. We can name, for example, Czar Peter the Great, King Edward VII of England, Austrian Emperor Franz Josef I, composers Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin, writers Goethe, Schiller, and Mark Twain, and other great minds of that time.
In the new era after the fall of communism, Czech spa companies were privatised and spas brought back into their previous glory. Buildings were restored, facilities upgraded, and new programs introduced. Today, Czech spas welcome visitors from around the world.
The main reasons for spending some time at a Czech spa include:

Link to PayPal & Kickstarter totals: http://www.replaygamesinc.com/leisure-suit-larry-paypal-donations/
Platforms supported from day 1: PC, OS X (Mac), iPhone, iTouch, iPad, Adroid phones, & Android tablets.
So why are we jumping on the Kickstarter bandwagon with LEISURE SUIT LARRY IN THE LAND OF THE LOUNGE LIZARDS?
It's simple. We love Larry…Larry Laffer. We were there when he was born, in 1987. We were there for his last adventure, LOVE FOR SAIL, almost exactly 10 years later.
And we've long wished for a version that would combine the characters and game play we already love with:
- The freedom to play on mobile devices
- A modern point-and-click/touchscreen interface
- Updated, ultra-high res graphics
- Fully voiced characters
- Even more of the humor that's made Al Lowe a household name…like "Borders" and "Enron"!
So we're making it. From scratch. And we want YOUR help.
Do you remember Lefty's Bar from the original? Did you know it's famous?
We've already accomplished THREE of the hardest tasks (and one easier one):
- Prying the Leisure Suit Larry license out of the hands of Big Software. DONE!
- Convincing Al Lowe himself to come out of retirement for this top-to-bottom re-imagining of his 25-year-old creation. DONE!
- Reaching our initial funding goal ($500,000) so that we can lock in the project. DONE!
- Setting ourselves a new goal of $750,000! so that we can add vastly more content and loads of incredible new features. Al, Josh, the Replay gang and Adventure Mob have a laundry list of bonus features, all aimed at adding length, breadth, and 500,000 new laughs to the original game. Some of the features we'd desperately love to add are: animated intro and cinematic cutscenes, maps, dialogues, more speech, foreign languages, Easter Eggs, minigames (in the LSL tradition: fun to play, easy to skip), new puzzles, new girls, new locations...and that's just the top of the list.
What's in it for you? That depends on what you pledge in Larry's Kickstarter campaign!
Take a look at the list of rewards we're giving to Larry's supporters. They include everything from a copy of the game to actually being PART OF the game – as a character! -- to actually going to Las Vegas with your very own private limo and villa on top of the world's coolest hotels with Al Lowe and writer Josh Mandel!
Those rewards are cumulative. Pledge at the $100 level, for instance, and you'll not only get the $100 reward, you'll also get the rewards given for $50, $25, and $15 pledges. So your sack of goodies can fill up VERY quickly.
Now, these rewards have never been available before, and will never be available again. They're strictly for this game, for this campaign, and every single one has been approved by Al Lowe. They are collector's items to commemorate YOUR partnership in gaming's biggest comeback EVER.
So please help us make LEISURE SUIT LARRY IN THE LAND OF THE LOUNGE LIZARDS: the 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION a perverted, hilarious reality. Kick in now, and stake your claim in gaming history.
The team that created Leisure Suit Larry 1 has been reassembled to create a 2012 "Reloaded" version. Al Lowe, Josh Mandel, Sabine Duvall, and Leslie Balfour have teamed up with Replay Games to form what we call "The Dream Team" of adventure games. We'll be making Leisure Suit Larry 1-7 and keeping you guys informed every step of the way. If this game is successful then we can bring you guys the rest of the Leisure Suit Larry games (and maybe even Leisure Suit Larry 4: The Case Of The Missing Floppies)!
We couldn't do it without you, the most loyal fans in video game history!! We get all of your fan mail everyday and reply to as much of it as we possibly can. This is what drove us to create this Kickstarter campaign. Had we taken this idea to a publisher, they would've turned us down cold since they think adventure games are dead.
So, please help us make this a reality and bring Leisure Suit Larry back to his dad, Al Lowe, like he was intended. We promise to keep you laughing and wetting your pants all the way 'till the end of the game!!!
What happens if we exceed our goal?
Depending on how far past our goal we get, here's the list of things we'd like to do with the extra development effort:
- Fully localize all the voice overs in to as many languages as possible. We will start with FIGS (French, Italian, German, Spanish) and then branch out from there.
- We will shoot Leisure Suit Larry on to additional platforms: XBLA, PSN, and of course: Linux!
- The game will come to life with a live orchestra performing all your favorite Leisure Suit Larry tunes.
- We got game! When our funding goal is exceeded we plan on adding more rooms, more girls, and more lousy pick up lines. We're basically making it bigger, badder, and uncut (that came out wrong but you know what we mean)!
Al, Josh, and the guys behind the scenes that are making this a dream come true for all of us!!!
p.s. we have 2 extra reward tiers but they are a bit too......"outlandish" to put in this official Kickstarter page so go here and we'll let you know what they are.
Funding period
- (30 days)

Chapter 10: The People-First Life Part 13
Now that you are saying no to your boss, I suggest that you work towards a six day work week. One day with no email and no phone calls. I know, there is a perception that we are all expected to be on call all the time. Sometimes this is reality, but more often it is merely perception.
When I was interviewing people for the book, I sometimes pushed to understand why someone was working every day. Some people said "Don't blame the company, I'm choosing to do this." I would smile and nod, but I wanted to scream "Yes, that proves my point! You are choosing to work all the time!" The other common answer went something like this "The more senior you are, the more there is an expectation that you need to be available 24/7." Again I nodded, but inside I was thinking of the CEOs and senior VPs I interviewed who said that they felt a day away from work was critical to their success.
I've defined corporate idolatry as a company-first or work-first value system. And people who are caught up in corporate idolatry create illusions that support he company-first lifestyle. I think both of the arguments above are indicators of corporate idolatry.
Way back in Chapter 2, I pointed out that the first two of the Ten Commandments are prohibitions against idolatry. The Fourth Commandment instructs us to "Keep the Sabbath," a day without work. Did you know that some Rabbis argue that the most important holiday in Judaism is the Sabbath? Yes, we are commanded to take a holiday every week. It was heresy in the pagan world.
For example, the Greeks and Romans criticized the Jews for the Sabbath, because leisure was something for the upper classes only, not to be shared with common workers. In an ironic twist, the corporate idolators of today think that the more senior are expected to work more than junior employees.
Is there a competitive advantage for a business that has people working seven days a week?

(a) On or before January 1, 2011, each electric utility subject to the provisions of this article shall prepare an alternative and renewable energy portfolio standard compliance plan and shall file an application with the commission seeking approval of such plan.
(b) A portfolio standard compliance plan shall include:
(1) Statistics and information concerning the electric utility's sales to retail customers in West Virginia during the preceding ten calendar years;
(2) A calculation of the electric utility's projected yearly sales to retail customers for the years 2011-2025;
(3) A calculation of the expected number of credits required to meet the portfolio standards set forth in this article;
(4) An anticipated time line for the development, purchase or procurement of credits sufficient to meet the portfolio standards set forth in this article;
(5) A nonbinding estimate of the costs to comply with the portfolio standards set forth in this article;
(6) A description of any greenhouse gas emission reduction or offset projects or energy efficiency and demand-side energy initiative projects the electric utility proposes to undertake for credit in accordance with this article;
(7) A list of any requirements and a description of how the electric utility satisfied or will satisfy those requirements if an electric utility is subject to an alternative energy, advanced energy, renewable energy or similar energy portfolio standard in any other state; and
(8) Such further information as required by the commission.
(c) Upon the filing of an application for approval of a portfolio standard compliance plan, and after hearing and proper notice, the commission may, in its discretion, approve or disapprove, or approve in part or disapprove in part, the application: Provided, That the commission, after giving proper notice and receiving no protest within thirty days after the notice is given, may waive formal hearing on the application. Notice shall be published as a Class I legal advertisement in compliance with the provisions of article three, chapter fifty-nine of this code, and shall be given in a manner and in such form as may be prescribed by the commission.
(d) The commission shall, following proper notice and hearing, if any, render a final decision on any application filed pursuant to this section within two hundred seventy days of the filing of the application.
(e) If, and to the extent, the commission determines that a portfolio standard compliance plan has a reasonable expectation of achieving the portfolio standard requirements at a reasonable cost to electric customers in this state, the commission shall approve the plan. In establishing that the requisite standard for approval of a portfolio standard compliance plan is met, the burden of proof shall be upon the applicant.
(f) In the event the commission disapproves of an application filed pursuant to this section, in whole or in part, the commission shall specify its reason or reasons for disapproval. Any portion of the application not approved by the commission shall be modified and resubmitted by the applicant.
(g) Either upon an application of the electric utility, a petition by a party or the commission's own motion, a compliance plan proceeding may be reopened for the purpose of considering and making, if appropriate, alterations to the plan.
(h) Approval of the compliance plan does not eliminate the need for an electric utility to otherwise obtain required approvals, including, but not limited to, certificates to construct, consent to enter into affiliated contracts and recovery of compliance costs. Furthermore, nothing in this article shall be interpreted to alter or amend the existing power and authority of the commission.
(i) Approval of the compliance plan does not relieve an electric utility from its obligation to pay a compliance assessment pursuant to the provisions of section five of this article if it fails to comply with the portfolio standards set forth therein.
(j) Within a year of the commission's approval of an electric utility's compliance plan, and every year thereafter, the electric utility shall submit to the commission an annual progress report. The progress report shall include the electric utility's sales to retail customers in West Virginia during the previous calendar year; the amount of energy the electric utility has generated, purchased or procured from alternative or renewable energy resources; a comparison of the budgeted and actual costs as compared to the estimated cost of the portfolio standard compliance plan; any information required by the commission to prevent the double-counting of credits; and any further information required by the commission.
(k) The commission shall impose a special assessment on all electric utilities required to file a compliance plan. The assessments shall be prorated among the covered electric utilities on the basis of kilowatt hours of retail sales in West Virginia and shall be due and payable on September 1 of each year. The amount of revenue collected pursuant to this subsection may not exceed $200,000 in the first year following the effective date of this article and may not exceed $100,000 in successive years. The funds generated from the assessments shall be used exclusively to offset all reasonable direct and indirect costs incurred by the commission in administering the provisions of this article.

In lieu of a twin
I love using Open Minds to profile remarkable people whose achievements can't help but enthrall us all. Often they're people with backgrounds or characteristics that mean they're wrongly overlooked, or certainly not nurtured to their full potential.
Not so, the incredible 9-year old twins, Peter and Paula Imafidon, who are the youngest children in the highest-achieving family in the history of Great Britain's education system. They made history as the youngest students ever to enter high school and astounded veteran experts of academia when they became the youngest ever to pass the University of Cambridge's advanced mathematics exam.
With a set of older super-gifted siblings in the Imafidon family too, it's not surprising they've been asked if they share a 'genius gene'. "Not so", came the reply of Chris Imafidon, the children's father. He credits his children's success to the UK's Excellence in Education program for disadvantaged inner city children.
"Every child is a genius," he told British Reporters. "Once you identify the talent of a child and put them in an environment that will nurture that talent, then the sky is the limit,"
How refreshing to hear such a positive story about inner-city children, in the UK, when mainly the reporting of these environments and the young people in them is so negative. If only more of us could emulate the tremendous attitude of Chris Imafidon and seek out the particular talents in everyone we encounter, providing encouragement and support to help them become the best they can be.
Being super-high achievers, twins, aged 9, oh, and by the way, black, Peter and Paula Imafidon are bound to attract attention but frustratingly quite the reverse might happen too. Their stand-out characteristics on a number of fronts may mean they suffer a level of separateness or exclusion because people feel intimated, challenging and perhaps dismissive of who they are.
It's reassuring to hear their father be so confident about his youngest children's ability to adapt to secondary school, despite their tender age. Having supported his older children through the process he is aware of the pitfalls and besides, "because they are twins they are always able to help and support each other."
Well, we may not all have the support of a twin, but we can certainly help each other achieve our personal and professional goals, looking beyond exterior characteristics to spot the particular talents we all hold.

Super Advocate – 'A' list Blogger – Bloke down the pubPosted by Mark White, Blog Consultant in Positioning as an Expert , Reputation & Credibility , Social Media , Social Networking
I read earlier this month an article in the Financial Times entitled Business urged to woo social network figures which was reporting on some of the findings in a report on social networking from Experian and Hitwise. In it, we are recommended to woo super-advocates that is to say influential members on social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace.
Having tried (and failed) to stop myself smirking at the use of Super Advocates and banish the idea of them sitting at their computer wearing their underpants on the outside of their trousers, I thought that there was a certain amount of sense in what was being said.
But hang on a second, havent people like this always existed?
Of course they have – go back a couple of years and, within the blogging world, we would have referred to them as A List bloggers because of the influence that they had. Before that, it might have been someone we knew who was well connected or one of our friends who tended to lead the conversations and spread the word about the latest information or gossip. And of course, if all else failed there was always the bloke down the pub who positioned himself as the fountain of all knowledge.
So what do they all have in common – well, in essence, they are people who others listen to. Each has their own sphere of influence and their own expert subject matter (except possibly the bloke down the pub who is an expert in everything!). This means that we consider what they tell us to be both correct and valuable which we therefore take at face value.
So, let's look at it from our own perspective: what type of person would we take note of and why? This is important because if we wish to position ourselves as someone whom others would recommend (perhaps using our own business blog as a focal point) then these are the type of characteristics that we should be looking to demonstrate.
So what is it that makes a super-advocate super when it come to helping our business?
- Good level of Contacts – ideally both in terms of quality and quantity
- Recommended either by someone you trust or a number of different people
- Very active in the right circles, markets or areas
- The right sphere and level of influence
- Trusted and Respected
- Outgoing and communicative
As an example, think of someone like Martin Lewis who runs the Money Saving Expert site and blog – well respected, listened to and widely used as a reliable source of information and, generally, when we hear that something comes from him then our reaction is that "it must be true". He has reached a point where he has a reputation which puts him is a special category of trust in many people's eyes.
If you want to call him a type of "Super Advocate" through the use of his blog and his website, then so be it. But, whatever you call him, he has an enviable position in his field and one we should be trying to emulate in our own areas of expertise.
So, next time you read about "Super Advocates" (and once youve stopped smirking to yourself), do remember that there are these types of Connectors in all areas of life so think of 3 people who could be influential figures for your business and get in touch with them. At the same time, work at developing your own reputation through your blog or whichever other medium you feel can offer the same coverage and visibility. If all goes well, you'll soon be there wearing your underpants on outside of your trousers too! ** smirk **

One stock that held up well on Wednesday and during the last few weeks is General Mills (GIS). The cerealist rallied 1.3% on the day and the stock is now less than 1% from its 52-week high. Consumer staples have acted well as investors reprice risk - peers like H.J. Heinz (HNZ) and Kellogg (K) are also not far from making new highs.
Option volume in GIS on Wednesday was 14% above normal, but it was not aggressive call-buying. Instead, investors were actually net sellers of option premium with a slightly negative delta bias. Most of the call volume was focused in the November 40 strike, which had a closing bid of $0.10. Investors who own shares and sold the 40 calls will make a quick 0.25% gain on their holdings if GIS doesn't rally above that level by Friday.
Given the possibility that a weak overall market could persist into the end of the month or longer, we like selling a put spread on GIS for December expiration. One month implied volatility, at almost 14% annualized, is well off its lows for the year, and will look rich in retrospect if the stock remains strong.
Trades: Buy to open 1 GIS December 37 put for $0.11 and sell to open 1 GIS December 39 put at $0.37.

A National (Scout) Jamboree is a gathering (or a 'jamboree') of thousands of members of the Boy Scouts of America, usually held every four years and organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Referred to as "the Jamboree", "Jambo", or NSJ, Scouts from all over the nation and world have the opportunity to attend. They are considered to be one of several unique experiences that the Boy Scouts of America offers. The first jamboree was held in 1937 in Washington, D.C. 1937 and attracted 25,000 Scouts, who camped around the Washington Monument and Tidal Basin. The event was covered extensively by national media and attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Jamborees have been held in a number of locations including Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Idaho, and since 1981, the jamboree has been located Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. The new permanent site of the national jamboree is The Summit Bechtel Reserve which started with the inaugural 2013 National Jamboree.
The jamboree program reflects the skills of Scouting—physical fitness, environmental conservation, our national heritage, and the true spirit of Scouting. Scouts enjoy rappelling, discovering scuba, kayaking, rafting, sailing, trap shooting, archery, bikeathlons, buckskin games, confidence courses, conservation trail, and more.
Daily activities include the merit badge midway with typically 80 offerings, a re-creation of Robert Baden-Powell's original Scout camp on Brownsea Island, entertainment stages, and more. The arena shows are a highlight for all participants.
A jamboree is held for ten consecutive days and offers many activities for youth participants and the 300,000 members of the general public who visit it. The jamboree is Scouting at its very best!

UNIVERSAL CITY - October 21, 2008 - NBC will pick up nine additional episodes of its the freshman drama series "Knight Rider" (Wednesdays, 8-9 p.m. ET) to provide the series with a full-season order for 2008-09, it was announced today by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.
"Gary Scott Thompson and the great cast and crew of 'Knight Rider' continue to deliver fun, action packed adventures every week," said Silverman. "Kitt and Michael will continue to travel across the country on their fun, escapist ride pursuing bad guys and saving the day."
"Knight Rider" premiered its new season on Wednesday, September 24 (8-9 p.m. ET).
The series is averaging a 2.4 rating, 7 share in adults 18-49 and 7.4 million viewers overall so far this season in "live plus same day" averages. "Knight Rider" is the #1 regular series in its competitive time period in all key adult-male demographics and won the slot in adults 18-49 with its most recent telecast on October 15.
On the heels of NBC's hit movie, the iconic 1980s television classic comes roaring back to life as a reinvented, updated and super-charged action series showcasing the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand). Absolutely the coolest car ever created, KITT is equipped with "AI" (artificial intelligence) that is capable of hacking almost any system. Its weapon's systems match that of a jet fighter, its body is capable of actually transforming into other vehicles and it uses sophisticated holographic imagery to elude villains.
"Knight Rider" stars Justin Bruening ("Cold Case"), Deanna Russo ("NCIS"), Sydney Tamiia Poitier ("Veronica Mars"), Paul Campbell ("Battlestar Galactica"), Yancey Arias ("Kingpin") and Bruce Davison ("Breach"). Smith Cho ("Blades of Glory") recurs. David Bartis ("Heist," "The O.C."), Doug Liman ("Mr. and Mrs. Smith," "The Bourne Identity"), Matt Pyken ("Las Vegas") and Gary Scott Thompson ("Las Vegas," "The Fast and The Furious") are executive producers.
Based on characters created by Glen Larson, "Knight Rider" is from Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions.

The GMO Fight Ripples Down the Food Chain
Facing Consumer Pressure, More Firms Are Jettisoning GMOs From Their Foods
Two years ago, Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc. initiated a plan to eliminate genetically modified ingredients from its ice cream, an effort to address a nascent consumer backlash and to fulfill its own environmental goals.
This fall, nearly a year behind schedule, it expects to finish phase one, affecting its flavorful "chunks and swirls" like cookie dough and caramel. The only part left to convert: the milk that makes ice cream itself. Thanks to the complexities of sourcing milk deemed free of genetically modified...

I have often said, of myself, that a lot of my computer troubles are caused by operator error.
This has morphed into Genealogical Problems as well. I belong to many Roots Web Groups and have left many messages on their boards. I am subscribed to Ancestry and posted queries on the boards at that location. I search the information on the LDS Site, I find a little but not a lot.
I am jealous of people who can trace their ancestors back to 1500, or even Adam and Eve, when I can get back no further than my great grandparents.
Is this Operator Error again? What am I doing wrong, and how can I correct it? I am finding information in the USA, but when it comes to tracing people in Europe I am finding NOTHING. I can understand the problems with trying to understand German, but I can not even find information in English.
I am pretty frustrated with myself, but I shall continue. I keep hoping that some information will become known to me and I will be able to continue my research. Maybe it is because the earliest of my ancestors who arrived came over in 1872 and the latest in 1926. I haven't found the mother lode yet, but I am trying.

Are you ready for a radical departure from the Animal Crossing formula for the game's foray on the Nintendo 3DS? That's just not going to happen, but here's a guy dressed as Link.
Animal Crossing; Animal Crossing never changes. Those were the words famously spoken by actor Ron Pearlman in my head the last time I booted up a new game in Nintendo's animal life sim, and I'm sure it'll hold true when the 3DS version hits the streets.
And I'll buy it anyway.
