I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside.
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen.
Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
First of all, Marie Lu is a good writer. This is the first book that I've read by her and I can tell because of the passion in her writing and the emotion she envokes through her words. Her imagery is good, so is her dialogue and the pace of the book set by her keeps you anxious and excited.
This is a well thought out book set in a very interesting world. The world building is okay, though I'm hoping to find out more. There wasn't a lot of world building, but I'm mostly okay with that because too much can get boring. It was still lacking, which I will elaborate later on. I also like the plot.
Now the reason I wanna scream: The characters.
I don't know about you but I, personally, would like at least one person I can root for. At least one decent human being.
In this book, every single character is downright horrible. I want all of them to just die. Okay, not all of them, but that's only because I don't know a lot of them very well. The main focus of the story has been Adelina. We know her the best and I wish she would just die. Next, we know Taren, who I also want dead. We didn't really get to know Enzo well, sadly. Raphael? Kill him please.
I just wish there was someone, anyone who wasn't a power-hungry, rage-fueled, merciless, self-righteous murderer.
Rant over.
Now for an actual critism: The powers weren't explained as well as they should have been. They were only explained vaguely, something about energy and their connection to energy after the blood fever but not much else. It also wasn't explained why a person got a certain power while another got a different one.
And one final thing that wasn't explained was whether this was a fantasy world or just a normal world that was introduced to supernatural elements after the blood fever. What is normal for them? Because in order for something to be out of the ordinary, you have to develop some norms. I'm unsure about the nature of those norms.
Overall, this was a very interesting book, telling the story of a villain. I still want a hero though, someone to balance out the awfulness. I mean, there Violetta, but she doesn't exactly seem the type to go against a lot of people to fight for what's right. She's more of a plead-to-your-inner-goodness type. But who knows?
Finally, I recommend this to anyone who likes some darkness.

A novel by Eric Adams
After her mother's startling death bed confession, San Francisco bohemian Katie Jacobs dashes off to find her long lost brother, Vincent. Katie's search takes her to Bodega Bay, the eerie California coastal town where Alfred Hitchcock filmed "The Birds." There she finds Vincent, a simpleton under the spartan care of Madame Charay, an eccentric millionaire obsessed with Hitchcock and the six weeks he spent in town shooting his iconic masterpiece. With the help of a handsome psychotherapist running from his own forbidden history, Katie unravels the shocking truth about her brother, about Madame Charay and what really happened during that fatal spell when "Hitch" came to town.

For me its every other week and I feel like that's excessive.
Most Helpful Guy
I try to every week.
Emphasis on the "try"...
Which is why my hamper is almost always full. And whenever I wash clothes, I only wash the top layer, so I only wear that shit. So it's like I'm wearing the same five things every fucking week.
I hate dorm laundry.00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
We have 5 people in this house, including 2 young athletes and another younger soon-to-be-athlete... and one of those weird-o eco-friendly front-loader washers. (California drought, y'all.)
So... our washer is ALWAYS running.
Four of us -- everyone except the 5-year-old -- are competent, so, literally, the washing just "gets did". It just happens.
We don't use the dryer nearly as much, though. Basically nothing goes through there except underwear. We hang everything else so that it doesn't fade, shrink, rip, or deteriorate in whatever other way.
Oh, and, nice denim? NEVER wash it. Never ever ever.
A true fashionista puts her denim in the freezer.
Yes, I'm serious -- that's how you clean "nice" denim that's just been subjected to normal wear. I shit you not. Google it.10|10|0

Kemble: nice café, good shots of the Gnat that's parked by the tower and a Britannia easily-placed for photography too. Plus there are always airliners being scrapped, the possibility of something interesting visiting etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions of any airfields historical otherwise in the Swindon area that are easy to visit for photographic purposes?
I have a day to spare soon in that particular area and wondered if anyone could suggest places to visit. As I've never ventured over that way in the past.
Thanks in advance over to you guys
Ex - Aircraft Engineer - British Air Ferries
Kemble: nice café, good shots of the Gnat that's parked by the tower and a Britannia easily-placed for photography too. Plus there are always airliners being scrapped, the possibility of something interesting visiting etc.
Brize Norton, Fairford
Thank u. Sounds good. Any ideas on access and security for pictures?
Unless you're very lucky, all you'll see at Fairford is a runway. Good view mind
Brize OK at either end of the runway, but I think you'll soon get bored of A400M, Voyager and C-130Js.
Kemble has food, variety, decent views and access.
Kemble is pretty easy for photos but remember there are two distinct areas. On the A429 is a large lay-by that overlooks the scraping area and the end of the runway. The main airport entrance is off the A433. From the layby go into Kemble Village and turn left, past the station and left at the A433, entrance is about a mile on the left and can be missed. This will take you into the airfield proper. once inside the road splits and left takes you to the tower, cafe and airliner hangars. Right takes you to the Britannia and others. No security issues as airside is all fenced off.
you have also got Wroughton of course................
If you go to Wroughton, Smack that annoying American who drives around the place fast and thinks he is funny.... I don't normally believe in violence but he just annoys....
Tony I'm staying in Wroughton but was told the SM collection is closed until March. So I have an invite there later in the year.
Is anything visible outside ?
Bit further south than Swindon but you've got Lyneham, Hullavington, Colerne & Down Ampney.
Wroughton has been closed to the public for years. I read somewhere many of the storage hangers have safety issues and I've heard its very very hard to get in there even by researchers, other museums ect.
Oaksey Park, just a few miles from Kemble, if you like G A types.
Usually a few historic and interesting types there.
Park up and ask permission first. There usually friendly and accommodating.
If its just airfields you want to view then the hangers at South Cerney are still visible.
I assume the old Vickers airfield of South Marston is totally built over by the Honda factory. Is there any old airfield buildings left?
If its being stored for future generations, what about the present generation! who can remember seeing some of these aircraft when in operation. Don't we count.
I would be interested in a reply from someone from the Science Museum. What are the future plans. Once again are these aircraft not owned by the public by being a taxpayer.
To be fair to the Science Museum the Handley Page Gugnunc which they have had in store since the 1930's (latterly at Wroughton) has recently gone on display at South Kensington.
I was lucky to go on one of their weekday open days a good few years ago: cracking collection and no-one around. Of course back in the day we were up there a great deal when the warbirds displays, Air Britain fly-ins, Sothebys auction etc were on. Favourite memory was sitting on the grass as BAe's Mosquito taxied past, with its wingtip above our heads.
What happened? Did we live through a golden era and only just realise it?
YES, YES and YES...............!!!!Did we live through a golden era and only just realise it?
Last time I was at Wroughton I was staying in the Hospital!!!!! we snook out of the ward and went to the NAAFI for a few pints... only to be recognised.. where was the fun in that
Oaksey Park has also got that stunning Stinson.
Going back to the original request there is also the jet age museum at Staverton that is worth a visit.
Here's a link.
There are still some buildings left from RAF Yatesbury, 4 miles east of Calne. Some are noe grade 11 listed but apparently not a lot of preservation work being done. Might be worth a visit. Visit sites such as the RAF Yatesbury Association or something like that. I have happy memories of being sent there twice for Air Radar Training courses uring my RAF career.

Foods You Didn't Know Could Kill Your Dog
We all love our pets, but did you know that even though dogs are man's best friend it doesn't mean you should feed him everything you would feed your human best friend? There are more than 10 human foods that can literally kill or make your best friend extremely ill! It's important to understand sometimes the most loving thing you can do for your pet is to say NO even if it's to foods he or she loves!
Sweet treats are not sweet for man's best friend, well at least this one isn't. Most people seem to be aware that chocolate is not good for dogs, but most may not understand why or just how not good it is for their family friend. Chocolate is number one on the list of things to avoid feeding to your dog or puppy.
The reason this sweet treat can be deadly to your pet is because chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine both of which are considered a part of the methylzantines category. The higher the levels of methylxanthines the more toxic it is. Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can cause your dog to experience dehydration, vomiting, severe agitation (just think about how jittery you become after consuming high amounts of caffeine!). Chocolate can also cause muscle tremors, highly irregular heart rhythms, seizures and death.
Garlic taste delicious and some dogs even seem to be pulled to wanting to try a taste, but garlic is bad, really bad for dogs! Unfortunately garlic has numerous compounds within it that are extremely toxic to dogs. It has a very dangerous effect on a dogs red blood cells, so dangerous in fact a blood transfusion might very well be the only thing that can save the life of a pet who has eaten garlic.
Be warned though, even though your best friend ate some last night and seems fine today, the effects don't begin to appear for a few days. Garlic toxicity symptoms are as follows: Fido will become too tired to play and even reluctant to even move, his urine will appear orange or dark red, if this happens get your pet to the nearest vet.
Grapes although fun to eat are also another of those very bad things to feed your dog! Grapes like Garlic can lead to the death of your pet within days! The compounds and chemicals that are so toxic to dogs are not known or understood, but grapes and raisins (which are actually dried grapes) cause swift kidney failure leading to death within three to four days! The scary part about a pet eating grapes is depending on the dog symptoms may not even show up. Some of the symptoms that can appear are lethargy, dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea and lack of appetite.
With so many normal every day foods we humans eat on a daily basis, if you have a best buddy in the form of a dog, it's a good idea to make sure you educated yourself as to the things you may think are Okay to share with your dog, but could in fact could actually lead to a heartbreaking end to your friendship. Please make sure to view and share this information so we can all make sure loving our faithful friends doesn't include sharing foods that can literally end their lives. SHARE THIS WITH A DOG LOVER!

A cruise is what you make it!!!: Grand Princess Cruise Review by bogof1
Overall Member Rating
A cruise is what you make it!!!
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
Entertainment superb. 4 major production numbers with amazing sets and costumes. The usual run of comedians, magicians, singers etc. All very enjoyable though I did fall asleep on the last night...the ventriloquist seemed to have lost the plot! During the day there were port lectures, demonstrations, quizzes etc etc plenty to do or not depending on your choice. Four pools one undercover which was a shame as the weather was superb. Not being a sunbather as such we werent bothered getting a sun bed but could always find one when needed. MUTS was an experience snuggled up with popcorn and blankets.
We mainly did our own thing with regards to trips only using Princess tours for Rome....The city drive, and Naples....Half day Pompeii trip. Both were superb and worth the expense. All other ports we made our own way around the cities only using the shuttle bus for Barcelona, all other ports were easily accessible by foot.
We had traditional dining 1st sitting which worked well for us. Waiters attentive and great table companions made the dining an occasion. Plenty of choice on menus. The left hand side of the menu stayed the same every night which ensured if there was nothing on the main menu there was a choice of what to eat. The chilled soups were something else. Our only comment on doing 1st sitting was that all the Captains Champagne and Cocktail evenings were scheduled for 7.15 8.00pm. We were not able to finish dinner by 7.15 and when we eventually got there they had finished serving! However plenty of free Champagne at the art auctions! For other meals we used the HC or IC. By the end of the cruise HC was wearing a little thin as inevitably repeating choices. However the pub lunch of fish and chips is a must on sea days. One other tip buy a coffee card. Well worth the money as endless hot chocolate, filter coffee (a big improvement on the syrup based.thanks CC)and tea not to mention the 15 speciality coffees Mmmmmmmm. Still got a punch or two for the next cruise Yeah!
Yes we did have Noro Virus but superbly handled, yes some toilets were blocked again dealt with to our satisfaction. All in all a fantastic way to unwind. One last tip... Pick the cabin youll be happy with not the one you hope to get by upgrade .......a cruise is what you make it, not what others have told you. Thank you Princess well be back. Less
Published 10/16/11
Cabin review: ACD210
Well decorated. Good sized bathroom plenty of room in shower and bath, good lighting. Ample hanging space and shelving for clothing. Very comfortable sitting area, plenty of room. Balcony newly refurbished...however reclining seats did not recline!! Only slight niggle was the noise from the overhead air extractors which we believe came from the service duct across the corridor from our cabin, more noticeable at night.

Beijing: Rafael Nadal's lifelong mentor, his uncle Toni, has opened the door to hiring a 'super-coach' if the 14-time Grand Slam-winner fails to recapture his spark next season.
Toni Nadal and Rafael Nadal
Toni Nadal said the 29-year-old should consider following Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and others by bringing in a superstar mentor if the turnaround does not come soon.
Calls for Nadal to abandon Toni blew up after he flopped at both the French Open, a tournament he has won nine times, and Wimbledon during a dismal run this year.
"I think you need to ask Rafael," he said at the China Open in Beijing, when asked by AFP if Nadal should consider a new mentor.
"Maybe if next year Rafael is playing not too good, then I think he can think about some changes in his game or in his team."

Perth and Fremantle Bike Tours
From wine tasting in the Swan Valley to seeing the views and wild flowers from Kings Park is best done on a bike. Leave the cramped tour buses to the unadventurous, get on a bike and be guided around the expected and unusual sights and tastes of Perth, Fremantle, the Swan river, Swan Valley, the sparkling Indian ocean and beaches.
Swan Valley Wine Tasting
This relatively short and easy tasting tour isn't just about wine. There are opportunities to taste some delicious cheeses, chocolate, sauces, jams and the totally unbeatable Passion-fruit curd. Get off the busy main road through the valley and ride deserted back roads past the vines often full of grapes (and maybe try a grape or two).
Perth City Tour
An option that always surprises people, especially locals, who think they know Perth. Perth has so many hidden jewels, from amazing street art and quirky statues, to little known parks and gardens. Visit all the places you would expect of course, such as Kings Park, the Bell Tower, Elizabeth Quay, Perth Mint, WACA, Queens gardens, and Swan River foreshore, but also visit places only a bike can go to see what a visitor in a car or bus would miss out on. This is an easy ride apart from a bit of a hill into Kings Park that can be walked up if you prefer. Enjoy a steak sandwich at a BBQ in a city center park of fountains and waterfalls that almost no-one knows exists.
Perth to Guildford
The ride from Perth to Guildford (or vice versa) is so peaceful. It's an easy, flat ride along the traffic free Swan River. This is more about the enjoyment of a really nice relaxing and beautiful bike ride, than seeing a multitude of sights. Finish with a BBQ steak sandwich.

Using cement, enzymes, calcium chloride etc. as agents for the road construction is traditional method. The most recently developed technique for road stabilizing is the use of polymers. Using polymers for roads stabilization is cost-effective, can be applied more efficiently, lasts longer, reduces dust emission, and is also environment-friendly. Roads built with polymers stand up to Heavy Haul trucks and the daily grind of vehicular traffic. Visit here to know in details: http://envirotac.com/industriesuses/transportation/

Seaside Falls was a waterfall on the planet Sanctuary on a river leading to the village of Dohama.
In 2268, James Kirk, Spock, and Leonard McCoy were forced to travel the unnamed river and had to leave the river at a lake, which Seaside Falls bordered on one end. The three then detoured around the Falls and put their raft into the water on the other side of the falls. (TOS novel: Sanctuary)

Jonathan Hill, who heads up the European Commission section that drafts financial regulation proposals, recently pledged to pursue key reforms, specifically naming benchmark rates as a key area. Hill, who became commissioner in 2014, is one of many officials working to develop an ideal regulatory framework for the region.
Working on 'major sources of risk'
Speaking at the Brookings Institution earlier this month, Hill emphasized that while he is devoted to driving growth and creating jobs, he also plans to work on "major sources of risk," including reforms affecting how banks are set up and the way benchmark rates are calculated, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Benchmark rate reform
The push to create new benchmark regulations has generated substantial visibility in Europe, and many lawmakers and regulators have already become involved in working toward creating the optimal framework of rules for these rates.
Earlier this year, the individual nations of the European Union determined their position on the proposals surrounding benchmark regulations, according to Reuters. This stance built upon the original proposal offered by the EC in 2013, but provided a wider definition of which benchmarks are "critical" and therefore subject to the new regulations.
The council also created a revised position on the proposed reforms, with The Permanent Representatives Committee, acting on the behalf of the EC, announcing it had established its stance.
Higher data standards
In seeking to effectively regulate the calculation of benchmark rates, the draft regulation calls for higher data standards. To contribute data used for determining these rates, organizations would be legally obligated to follow stringent practices, as well as use information that is both reliable and complete.
"The draft regulation calls for higher data standards."
When feasible, financial institutions would need to provide actual transaction input data, although they would be able to supply alternate information under other circumstances. While the aforementioned regulations might seem strict, benchmarks defined as "critical" under the regulations would have to follow more stringent guidelines and be subject to orders from regulators compelling them to supply input data.
After the EC established its stance, the entity requested that EU president Latvia begin working with the European Parliament to determine the final version of the bill.
Certain industry participants have criticized the proposal, with one partner in a law firm telling Bloomberg the draft language would encompass a fairly wide swathe of benchmarks including proprietary ones.
Regulatory rigor
However, some have voiced concerns that European regulators are being easier on major banks than their U.S. counterparts, according to The Wall Street Journal. The approach the continent's officials are taking to benchmark reform supports the idea that these worries lack a basis. Hill emphasized his desire to quell this unease while speaking at the Brookings Institution.
"I would hate it if, in the U.S., people thought that the EU was somehow soft on these issues," he said, the media outlet reported. "I don't think that's true."
Regardless of what others think, Hill stated that the time for "regulatory stability" has come, according to the news source. He emphasized the importance of viewing rules in a holistic manner, and tied the region's need for a secure regulatory framework to economic goals, stressing that businesses need a clear set of rules to successfully plan for the future.

On a girl, or guy.. do you care about one's lips or eyes more?
or is there something else you care about more other than personality because we all know personality matters the most.
Most Helpful Girl
I've seen countless polls and read countless articles that eyes are far more attractive to a guy than lips.
Of course, it varies on the guy since each guy has their own preferences.
But as a whole, eyes hands down will notice your eyes first.
Good luck.00|00|0

Top Three Tactical Gear Innovations Just Revealed To The Public
The SHOT Show in Las Vegas just kicked off the new year with some really great new products. Hundreds of the biggest names in the shooting industry got together and unveiled their best and newest tactical gear. The SHOT Show just keeps getting bigger as more and more Americans get into tactical gear and guns. There is no way that anyone could have had time to digest all the new products, but here are three that really stood out.
The best of the best from Popular Mechanics:
Covered 6 Personal Defense Shield
Obviously, you'd rather have a gun to fight back during an active shooter situation, but hey, a bullet proof shield with a blinding light is better than nothing! Combine the shield with a gun and you have an interesting combination.
Flir Scout TK Thermal Vision Monocular-
These thermal vision monocular are getting kind of scary, the prices just keep getting lower. It wouldn't cost much more to make one powerful enough to literally see through the walls of houses. It's really only good will on the part of the manufacturers that is stopping them from selling serious spy-craft to the public. This thing isn't even $600 and it's made by the biggest brand in the industry, Flir.
Garmin InReach Explorer+
There are some pretty similar competitors, but this thing really does have it all. Just as with the Flir, the price is insanely low. I'm guessing that map updates aren't going to be cheap, but if the device is being used strictly for hiking it really doesn't need updates often. The two-way messaging is a critical feature that's hard to live without.
Check out more new products from the 2017 SHOT Show here.

Bleah. Yet another article about Web sites for rating doctors.
Is anyone else really tired of seeing these articles and pretending these sites matter? They might one day, but they don't now.
Anyway, the Pew Internet and American Life Project (Please tell me I'm not the only one who quietly thinks "pew-pew-pew!" to himself every time Pew is mentioned?) says:
Nearly half (47%) of internet users, or 35% of adults, have turned to the internet for information about doctors or other health professionals."
Nothing surprising there.
"These health information seekers, however, are not likely to post their own reviews of doctors: just 7% of those who looked for information about doctors online (and 4% of all internet users) report posting a review of a doctor online."
Well, nothing surprising there, either. The vast majority of Wikipedia's users (or Digg's) are there to read, not to contribute. Isn't this the overwhelming trend in most "social media"? (And wouldn't noting this context be important? What does this item from Pew mean without such context?)
I'll state again that I think every physician rating site I've seen is useless. When patrons (or friends) ask me how to find a good specialist, I recommend avoiding these sites. The advice I gave one family member was to get in touch with local, regional, and national patient support groups for the diagnosed (or suspected) condition necessitating a visit to a specialist. If you want the opinion of informed patients, that's where you'll find it.
Just for good measure:
I like lolcats. Sue me.

The reason why I ask this question is woman who have been contiously hurt by "bad guys," and have been mistreated by so many douchebags have started to lump guys into a category. Or they blow things out of porportion and assume stuff. For instance, if a guy shares a dirty joke she automatically assumes he's just another dirt bag.
Do you think nice guys are suffering and are misjudged because of what bad guys have done?
I am sure guys are misjudging females now because of other females who have done them wrong.
So do you think a majority or some people are ruining it for their gender?

Katie Telford, Chief of Staff to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, got her start in politics at age 12, working as a page in her province's legislature. Now she's 38 and holds one of the most powerful positions in her nation.
Speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Next Gen Summit on Wednesday, Telford shared her political education as well as her perspective on the U.S. election, which, she said, was closer in style to the Canadian national election (held in October 2015) than one might think, despite the strikingly different results. "We saw indications of what was to come," she says. "There was a debate about voting rights and whether or not it was a positive thing for a woman to be allowed to wear a hijab. But at the end of the day, Canadians wanted to talk about the plight of the middle class."
Trudeau, like President-elect Trump, stuck to an economic message—with a far more government-oriented solution—and won. Unlike Trump, he has already used his platform to focus specifically on women, naming Canada's first Cabinet with gender parity—something that raised the ire of some, says Telford. "Many people said this was an attack on meritocracy," she says. "Then we announced who they were and they have not said that since."
Although Telford did not comment specifically on the U.S. election, she was happy to reach out to anyone disappointed by the results. "We welcome all of you," she said with a smile. "Businesses, consider investing in and expanding in Canada!"

|This scum Gemma Himuro
is driving Cruella insane!
So sayeth the great Lord of Darkness Sauron:
or he will send Darth Vader to terminate you.
Long ago before he led the Eight Devils of Kimon, he tricked Jubei Kibagami's comrades into attacking their friend. While escaping, Gemma was decapitated by Jubei himself, avenging his clansmen. Somehow later on, Gemma resurrected himself and formed the Devils of Kimone, pretending to serve the Shogun of the Dark, a group of former Toyotomi retainers who want to take back what's theirs. 2 days before the gold stealing operations were to go as planned, Gemma killed the chamberlain of the Mochizuki clan then impersonated him throughout the film. This technique was shown when he murdered Kagerou near the end of the movie. Jubei was angered by the killing of his lover, then craves for Gemma's blood. After leaving port, Gemma reveals his plans to take over Japan to the Shogun of the dark and calls himself the real Shogun of the Dark. After Jubei set the ship ablaze, he and his nemesis fight their final battle. After Jubei covers Gemma in gold, he prepares to leave but Gemma tries to take Jubei with him. Sensing this, Jubei yells for Gemma to "burn in [his] golden hell" then leaves Gemma to sink into the ocean with his dreams.

Location check! Sundeck check! Only reasons for Poor vs Terrible rating. We had an awful time finding a parking spot at the MOTEL each night (stayed 3) after dinner. The CSR at the desk offered to 'give up his prime parking spot and let us have it'...........He said they owned the area ACROSS the hwy. When I told him "yea, thanks that would be great of you"........he looked at me in disbelief. HA! Needless to say, he didn't budge from behind the desk and we parked ACROSS the busy hwy in the rain! Granted we stayed over a weekend when things are busier. We were never issued a parking pass? Too easy for anyone and everyone to just pull up and park, patron or not....most RESORTS have security officers? As far as housekeeping goes.....my, my, my......I kid you not folks.....someone needs a lesson in changing the sheets and putting on fresh linens! There was hair all over our sheets?! Phone didn't work, so hubby went to front desk, was told housekeeping staff were gone but they would make a report and our room would be serviced ASAP in the AM. So, we scraped off the hair, crossed our fingers/toes and went to bed! Next morning hit the beach and stayed til after 6PM.....Guess what? No maid service....now keep in mind, we have shelled out close to $200 a night for THIS. On our last day, we got clean sheets...I asked the housekeeper if she had received a report about our 'hair issue' she replied "Ewww...No, I didn't know a thing about it but I would not of wanted to sleep on hair either". Yea well, hey the beach was nice............;c)

"Highly Recommended"
Posted by Aleksander Rogic
I am not a registered patient of Featherstone Road Clinic but I have been referred to you by my own practice (Hanwell Health Centre). They were unable to see me on a daily basis to carry out dressing changes, that I required following day surgery at St Marks Hospital.
Having experienced various levels of care and attention, some good and some bad, from medical staff, hospitals, clinics, district nurses et al. I felt that I needed to write to say that I have nothing but praise for all the members of your staff that I have personally met or have come in contact with at Featherstone. They have been always friendly, courteous and conscientious.
I have been seeing a particular member of staff in the clinic most week days for my dressing change. They are friendly and puts me at ease and I feel free to discuss my concerns of the healing progress following surgery. They are always concerned that I am not in too much discomfort during dressing changes and makes what might be painful / stressful much easier then I have experienced elsewhere within the NHS..
Another person I would like to mention is a particular receptionist, who is always friendly whenever I see them at reception. They are always very helpful when I am booking new appointments and all in all, make my daily visits more pleasant.
Before I started to attend Featherstone I was apprehensive of the unknown. However, I would not hesitate to recommend Featherstone to my friends and family if they ever needed your services. Keep up the good work.

Molecular adaptation in flowering and symbiotic recognition pathways: insights from patterns of polymorphism in the legume
We studied patterns of molecular adaptation in the wild Mediterranean legume
We examined nucleotide variation among 57 accessions from natural populations in 53 gene fragments: 5 genes involved in nitrogen-fixing bacteria recognition, 11 genes involved in flowering, and 37 genes used as control loci. We detected 1757 polymorphic sites yielding an average nucleotide diversity (pi) of 0.003 per site. Non-synonymous variation is under sizable purifying selection with 90% of amino-acid changing mutations being strongly selected against. Accessions were structured in two groups consistent with geographical origins. Each of these two groups harboured an excess of rare alleles, relative to expectations of a constant-sized population, suggesting recent population expansion. Using coalescent simulations and an approximate Bayesian computation framework we detected several instances of genes departing from selective neutrality within each group and showed that the polymorphism of two nodulation and four flowering genes has probably been shaped by recent positive selection.
We quantify the intensity of purifying selection in the
Understanding the mechanisms underlying adaptation of species to their environment is central to population and evolutionary biology. Recent advances in large-scale sequencing and genotyping now allow rapid characterization of molecular diversity in a set of local populations or across an entire species range but reliably identifying the molecular footprints of adaptation remains challenging
For plants, timing of flowering is an essential component of fitness. Flowering can be influenced by a variety of climatic factors such as day length, average temperature and drought stress. Accordingly numerous instances of molecular adaptation have been reported for flowering genes, particularly in the annual model plant

We used the frequency of four minor allele frequency categories (0.125, 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5) as summary statistics of the data in each group. Then we approximated the joint posterior with 107 coalescent simulations and using local-linear regression on tan-transformed data with a tolerance factor of 10-3. The posterior joint distribution (scaled mutation rate and exponential population growth rate) was binned using 5184 evenly distributed bins over both dimensions. This posterior distribution was then used to obtain - through 106 independent simulations (by sampling a mutation and expansion rate to parametrize each coalescent simulation) - the distribution of

The species-wide levels of nucleotide polymorphism we report here are in the lower range of plant studies which is consistent with the expectation that selfing plant species harbour less nucleotide diversity than outcrossing species
Model-based tests of selection
Instead of relying on non-parametric methods for detecting outliers suggestive of selection, we employed model-based methods. These rely on first fitting patterns of nucleotide variation at a set of control loci as a means of parametrizing a model positing selective neutrality and the most salient features of the demographic history that may be responsible for the patterns of nucleotide diversity in our sample. We discussed below insights provided by these approaches but also their limits.
Some loci, including controls, displayed large values for Fay and Wu's standardized

Visitor numbers were 15% up on the previous year's figures
The Technological Bioenergy Fair, held between 18 and 20 October in Valladolid, welcomed 13,596 professional visitors, compared with the 11,819 that attended the 2010 edition of the event.
The 453 companies and brands from 24 countries represented at Expobioenergía attracted almost 13,600 professionals from 39 nationalities. The event organisers expressed their satisfaction at the figures, which exceed the targets set for a year that has proved to be tremendously difficult, especially for the trade fair sector.
Exhibitors remain convinced that the event is rated particularly highly due to its outstanding degree of specialisation and the standard of visitors.
Valladolid, southern Europe's bioenergy capital
Castilla y León's institutional capital is now firmly consolidated as the bioenergy hub for southern Europe. A meeting point for all those agents operating in the sector, each year Expobioenergía draws to Valladolid the latest innovations and state-of-the-art technologies for groundbreaking companies and brands with a solid international reputation. The event also attracts all the major associations within the sector, energy agencies, technology centres and of course renowned international experts who once again met at the International Bioenergy Congress.
The event is also of major importance for Valladolid, with organisers putting the socio-economic impact of Expobioenergía in terms of the services required for the trade fair at more than 5 million euros a year. These figures include accommodation, transport and other services required by the organisers, exhibitors, visitors and participants in the event's extensive programme of activities.
Thanks to the Europe's largest annual event specialising in bioenergy, Valladolid has once again hosted a consolidated project with an extremely bright future.
The large number of participants has once again shown that this event offers attractive opportunities for professionals and entrepreneurs in one of the few sectors that are currently enjoying seemingly unstoppable growth.
Expobioenergía is organised by AVEBIOM and the Cesefor Foundation, with the collaboration of the IDAE, and sponsored by the Junta de Castilla y León and Gestamp Biomass.

There's no prizes for guessing where Yejele 'Turquoise' Beach got its name from. Maré was the least commercial of the 4 islands in New Caledonia we visited on our South Pacific cruise with Carnival Legend, yet its waters were the most alluring.
Maré is a raised coral atoll with a population of approximately 6,900 people, mainly of Melanesian heritage. It's an island largely untouched by tourism, I saw only 1 'resort' during our day there and use the term resort loosely. A small marketplace has formed around the cruise ship schedules, however, and on the day we docked at Maré, Yejele Beach is lined with locals offering cold beers, relaxed massages and BBQ meats on a stick. We have more food than we could possibly want for available on the cruise ship but make the most of the chance to try something local. A fresh coconut is priced at 300 CFP (approximately $3) and once you've finished savouring the refreshing juice, the vendor will split it open with a machete so you can feast on the flesh.
Aside from enjoying the massages (approx $15 for 30 minutes), Yejele Beach is all about soaking up the scenery and bathing in the blue waters. There's a limited number of kayaks and stand up paddle boards for hire, but most passengers have come prepared with snorkel equipment and set out to become acquainted with the marine life.
After having been on the ship for 3 days now, we are simply content to walk up and down the beach, dipping in and out of the water before finding shade under a palm tree.
More Info
Yejele Beach is a 20-minute drive from where the cruise ships tender in Tadine. You will need to purchase a bus ticket via your ship ($19.99 per adult for a return ticket on Carnival Legend). It's probably a little too far to attempt to walk within the time you have at port, you could attempt to follow the road but be aware there are no pavements.
Australian dollars will be accepted by local vendors. A small number of souvenirs are sold near the port in addition to the food and drink at Yejele Beach. You may be given change back in the local currency.
Bring reef shoes if you have them as the coral can be tough on feet. Do try to avoid stepping on and harming the coral.
The beach will be busy in the morning (especially in the middle section where the shuttle bus drops you) but clears out around 3pm, so stay late to get an idea of how it looks normally.
