Packing Your Bags for Hawaii: With airlines charging for a second–or even for the first–piece of luggage, and strict "50 pounds each" weight limits being enforced, the thrifty traveler is wise to plan ahead carefully, to avoid racking-up expensive fees. I used to travel by the motto "Don't check baggage unless you can afford to lose it; if you can afford to loose it, why did you bring it?"; thus I never traveled with anything more than carry-on. While it is always good to travel lightly, with the advent of stringent new carry-on limits and my advancing age (and concomitant increasing desire to travel in comfort) I have learned to travel with only one piece of checked baggage plus carry-on. The key is packing intelligently so you can pack less.
Be Smart About Your Carry On Baggage: Most airlines allow you to bring one carry-on bag and a personal item such as a purse or a lap-top. I push this a little by bringing a carry-on bag plus my lap-top in a computer pack which also has room for one video camera, my SLR Camera and an emergency change of clothes (in case all my other luggage is lost). Usually they let me get away with this. Because I trust neither baggage handlers nor TSA inspectors and my luggage has been lost or ransacked and robbed more times than I remember, I pack my other cameras and the more of my clothes in my other carry on bag so they don't have to be checked. In this bag I also carry a quart of water and some snacks.
You'll want at least one book to read on the flight; your tickets, travelers checks, list of phone numbers, spare glasses (contacts and solution) and medications should be put in a water-proof bag in the carry-on bag you intend to hold most tightly to. It's a good idea to bring a copy of your eye-wear prescription, your health and car insurance cards, confirmations of hotel reservations, tours and activities and any printed itinerary you may have. Bring identification for your children. Put a swim suit and t-shirt in your carry-on–if your luggage is lost, you can wait for it by the pool! I always pack a small first aid kit, wet wipes and hand sanitizer. I always seem to use them. You'll want a sunhat, trust me. Sun screen and sunglasses are necessary to combat the deceptively severe tropical sun; they are so important that I've written a separate articles about sun burn and sunscreen in Hawaii and what sunglasses you should bring to Hawaii. Too many visitors drastically underestimate the strength and ferocity of our sun and wind-up with vacation-ruining sunburns.
Remember that more books, extra batteries, memory cards, video tape or film, masks-fins-snorkels (a separate article on snorkeling gear may be found here here and an informative video about snorkeling in Hawaii, here), insect repellent, sun cream, beach towels–all the extra hoopla one might want on a Hawaii vacation–can be purchased at WalMart or Costco on-island as cheaply as the mainland . If you do pack film, and it is in your carry-on, be sure to protect it against x-rays.
Checked Luggage; First, Plan for Your Activities: Know your itinerary and pack only what you need; resist the temptation to toss in all those extra unnecessary items. You may be planning on some particular activities in Hawaii requiring specific gear or clothing–it is best to think your wardrobe through thoroughly. Many people intend to save money by bringing their own snorkeling gear. This is false economy if it causes you to pay for additional luggage. Buying snorkel gear on island is fairly inexpensive and renting is faster, easier and even cheaper. The same can be said of renting diving gear and golf clubs. Activities such as hiking and horseback riding require a fairly specific wardrobe, but if you plan correctly, you only have to bring your hiking/riding boots and an extra pair of suitable pants and shirt. If you plan on visiting the mountain summits, remember that they can be quite cold–even snowy or rainy–so plan and pack an appropriate wardrobe, accordingly. If you bring boots, I advise wearing them (and all your other bulky clothing) on the plane to save room and weight in your bags. As for photography gear or musical instruments–any expensive or delicate equipment for that matter–my philosophy is to never turn loose with it. Never check your cameras, your guitar, your laptop, etc–it's a recipe for theft, loss or destruction (see a great video about this, here).
Next, Plan for the Weather: Being tropical, temperatures at sea level in Hawaii vary only by about 10 degrees between day and night and throughout the year. It's hot during the day, plan a cool wardrobe. The windward side is generally rainy and the "up-country" towns (mountains) frequently can experience afternoon showers. Evenings, particularly up-country, are delightfully cool as there is generally an evening or onshore breeze. With forethought, your wardrobe can cover all these situations without being bulky, heavy or ornate. Remember to pack layers of clothing for warmth, rather than one or two bulky coats and sweaters-this allows for maximum adaptability and a certain amount of built-in variability. This also means that if an emergency hotel-room laundry session is required, your laundry will dry much more quickly. Remember, chinos will dry in a day hanging in your room–jeans will stay wet all week. When deciding on wardrobe, bear in mind that Hilo is the rainiest city in the US; the Kona and Kohala Coast are among the driest parts of the US, but rains do come here, as well.
Finally, Specifics: Be efficient–coordinate around a basic, neutral color so everything you bring matches everything else. Black or khaki are the traditional traveler's choices. Dark colors show dirt less than light colors, and this can be a saving grace where doing laundry is impractical. Choose clothes for lightness, packability and washability. Remember that suits in Hawaii are unnecessary; even Circuit Court judges wear Aloha Shirts under their robes here. A nice shirt, generally an Aloha Shirt, and a pair of khakis are the wardrobe of choice at the finer restaurants and nightclubs–everywhere else, it's shorts and sandals. I would advise a basic wardrobe consisting of a polo-style shirt and a couple Aloha Shirts, one pair of long khakis and three pair of shorts, a swimsuit, a couple tank tops or t-shirts, a sunhat and a light jacket for evenings; that's all you really need to cover most bases. Women may want to toss in a light sundress or skirt. Sandals are all you'll need or want in the way of footwear (your feet will be HOT)–you may want to toss in a pair of running shoes for exercise or hiking. Unless you are attending a formal event such as a wedding, don't worry about dressing up or you will not only find yourself carting far too much luggage, but awkwardly overdressed as well.
Jewelry is unnecessary, dress-code wise, it causes an extra security headache and it must be left in your hotel room when you are doing most activities. You are coming to Hawaii to get away from all the froofrah…leave the jewelry at home.
Be thoughtful about your wardrobe and activities: for instance, you may wish to think about bringing two swimsuits–you will be amazed how pleasant being in the water is in the hot tropics. Whether you are just cooling off in the pool or snorkeling with the turtles and fish, you'll probably want to swim everyday. Swimsuits rarely dry overnight and it's a lot more pleasant to get into a warm, dry suit than a wet, cold one. Also, if you plan on riding horseback or exploring the higher elevations such as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or Mauna Kea, be sure to bring some chinos and appropriate footwear, a medium weight fleece sweater and light rain jacket/windbreaker. A compact traveler's umbrella is always a good idea–rains come at unexpected times and they make a nice shelter from the mid-day sun when walking around town or the resort.
Don't forget to pack your toiletries and personal items; I used to carry these on, in case of lost luggage, but restrictions on liquids and gels and razors make this impractical. Medications, of course, go in the carry-on. Sun block, sun hat, sunglasses, insect repellent and sun-burn cream (I use an aloe gel) will make your vacation smoother, but can be purchased cheaply locally if you don't quite have room for them.
Other Things to Bring: Just as an aside, two things you need to be head's up about when you are in Hawaii–if you begin to feel thirsty, you've waited too long to get a drink of water; if you begin to feel the sun, you've waited too long to put sun block on. Wear your sun hat. All the time. Drink more water than you think you need, apply sun block before you go out and re-apply more often that you think you need. Your body is used to more moderate climates and won't warn you in time of the danger. In fact, sometimes it's dry enough on the leeward side that you won't even feel yourself sweat—it evaporates before you get wet. So remember to keep drinking water—alcohol, coffee and ice tea (as well as caffeinated sodas) are both diuretic and vasodilatory, so are counterproductive to keeping hydrated and cool. Drink water. Lots and lots of water. Although bottled water is abundantly available, being a thrifty traveler, I always bring my own reusable water bottles. These may be carried on, but you need to take them through Security Screening empty, filling them at a water fountain before boarding—this also allows you to have water to drink during the flight, remembering that tap water on some airlines has proven to be unsafe.
Don't forget your sunglasses…if you are in the market to buy new ones, don't scrimp on price; Hawaii's tropical sun glaring off water and bright sand can permanently damage your eyes. If you can, get glasses that provide at least 90% darkening, screen 100% UVA and at least 80% UVB and IR. Cheap sunglasses, designer glasses with amber lenses or only slightly darkened lenses actually do more harm than good by causing the pupil of the eye to open up without screening enough of the damaging radiation out. Even if you wear regular glasses, bring prescription sunglasses or get good clip-ons–remember that cheap ones may be more damaging than none at all.
Many people plan ahead by leaving ample room in their luggage to bring back souvenirs and gifts; recent luggage restrictions are making this impractical. Rather than buying new outfits for my trip, I spend the week before my trip weeding through my wardrobe, packing one very nice set of clothes and the remainder are items that were already bound for the thrift store. Thus, I simply abandon them at the end of my stay and thereby have more than enough space in my luggage for anything I buy. Remember—Hawaii is part of the US and the U.S. Postal Service sells flat-rate, pre-paid, boxes for very inexpensive rates. Ask for "Flat Rate Shipping Boxes" and ship those gifts home safely, cheaply and with no fuss on your part.
You should toss in a small fanny pack or day-pack for day trips…it's amazing how many things you find you need to carry around during the day (sunscreen, water bottles, guidebook, camera, small purchases) and a pack helps to keep them organized and in hand. A small pack can also double as a laundry bag on the flight home.
I never travel anywhere without my laptop…you may not be so addicted, but I like being able to email photos and notes to friends left behind, as well as check-up on or change any reservations or activities at a moment's notice. Hawaii is so strange and wonderful anyway, you will wish you had access to Google to learn more about what you are seeing at least 5 times a day. They are a hassle at airport security and another thing to lug around, but I find it worthwhile. Free Wi-Fi is available all over the islands and your resort most likely will have it, as well. If you are traveling with children, a laptop with a few games in it can make long car rides or a rainy day more bearable.
Although this is not the time for a discussion of vacation photography in general, let me say a few words about cameras. This is Hawaii for pete's sake, one of the most beautiful places on earth! You are going to want to take pictures while you are here, you are going to wish you had taken pictures all the long years down the road after you return if you do not. You do not have to be like me, packing two video cameras, a digital SLR and a digital underwater camera; even if you are not camera savvy at all, there are easy alternatives.
Simplest by far, and not terribly expensive, are pre-loaded, disposable film cameras. Available for $5-10 each, and costing about the same for film developing, these are the most basic point-shoot-enjoy photographic choice. There are even disposable underwater cameras if you plan on any swimming, kayaking or snorkeling. May I suggest that you have your film developed in Hawaii—WalMart, K Mart and Costco all have 1-2 hour processing at reasonable prices. The color balance in Hawaii, because of its equatorial position (angle of sun and thickness of atmosphere) and the richness of the colors of flora, land and sea, is different to what most film-processing shops know and thus, if you wait until you return home to develop the film, the colors will turn our disappointingly. Getting your film processed on island also allows you to share prints with people you meet or are visiting.
Digital cameras may at first seem confusing, but are really much easier to deal with than film cameras, have such great storage capacity that they quickly pay for themselves in film and processing costs and produce images that, even for the rank beginner, are startling and gorgeous. You don't even need a computer to enjoy your digital pictures, just take them to any film processing shop and they'll make prints for you—much more cheaply than prints from film. If you plan to buy a digital camera for the trip, or are not quite used to the one you have, start practicing with it about a month before you leave…standing with your arm around your lover in the perfect sunset, with the palm trees swaying, the hula girls dancing on the beach and the humpback whales leaping in the ocean (oh, yes, these scenes DO happen!) is not the time to be fiddling with camera and instruction booklet trying to figure out how the damn thing works. Secondly, be sure to bring that instruction book, all accessory cords, chargers and adapters in a small plastic baggie when you come—they are expensive to buy on vacation and you never know what you'll need. Experience will teach what you can leave behind on successive trips. If buying a new digital camera to immortalize your trip to Paradise, think about getting a waterproof version. Most major camera manufacturers produce fine, submersible cameras, good to 40 feet or so, that are every bit as good as the regular cameras and are not very much more expensive. Many also have video features that allow you to take brief video clips, even underwater. One final note on your camera—never let go of it. Keep it in your carry-on bag during the flight, in your pocket or you day pack on the trip, do not leave it in your rental car or your hotel room or lunch table. Ever.
Another useful item, many tourists bring their GPS from home to help navigate—be sure to download the maps for Hawaii before you come; some brands of GPS do not offer Hawaii coverage. A few of the rental car agencies have GPS units for rent at reasonable prices. The best solution, however, are the folks at Tour Guide Hawaii (808.557.0051; http://www.tourguidehawaii.com) who offer a hand-held computer with an onboard GPS at very reasonable rental rates (a video about the Tour Guide product is available here). They have stuffed into this device over six hundred points of interest (did you hear that? 600!) of recreational, cultural and historical importance. They have produced a short audio/video presentation for each site, telling you all about it, the history and culture, what to bring, what to do while there; they even have the public restrooms listed! These presentations play as you approach the points of interest, or can be searched for at any time or location. Thus, the device can be used to preview all the sites around the island in the comfort of your hotel room, pre-plan trips or to get information and turn by turn navigation on the road. Combining cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned story-telling, the unbelievably easy to use, fabulously informative and terrifically fun Tour Guide Self-Guided GPS Tours are an amazing bargain and a great way to see Hawaii. They are now offering a pared-down version (50 of the top sites—AND the restrooms!) that is downloadable to iPhone and iPod, available from iTunes.
Finally, one of the most enduring visions I have of travel is standing exhausted, late night at the luggage carousel as hordes of weary travelers lift first one anonymous piece of black luggage, then the next, searching for their own amongst a sea of ubiquitous black nylon and leather travel bags. Not everyone is comfortable carrying the bright Hawaiian print luggage I have (although I always instantly recognize my bags…except when returning to Hawaii where EVERYBODY has this luggage), but there are ways to customize and personalize your bags. One of the more common, and therefore useless, is the nylon rainbow-colored strap…there are almost as many of these wrapped around the anonymous black luggage as there are plain black bags themselves. Airlines don't like straps and cords flopping around off the luggage, for obvious reasons, but you can buy colorful and unique baggage tags or tie a bit of uniquely colored ribbon or a small scarf to the handle of your luggage…just something that screams "Mine!" to you as it slides down onto the carousel so you do not have to search plaintively through the weary lot of black bags with rainbow belts on them.
This is Hawaii, remember? You came to have fun!

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting and the default pantheon of deities for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, Olidammara is the god of Music, Revels, Wine, Rogues, Humor, and Tricks. He is often called the Laughing Rogue.
Relationships[edit source]
Olidammara is on good terms with Fharlanghn, and sponsored the demigoddess Rudd to godhood. He is also the brother of Scahrossar, but these two deities have nothing to do with one another. The Laughing Rogue was once transformed into the shape of a small carapaced animal and imprisoned by the mad archmage, Zagyg, but managed to escape.

After the 1906 earthquake left San Francisco in ruins, the California Wine Association moved to Point Molate and began construction of Winehaven, once holder of the prestigious title, "world's largest winery." At the peak of the season as many as 400 workers lived here, as all of the California Wine Association's shipments to foreign, coastal and New York markets sailed from the Winehaven dock--shipment capacity was 500,000 gallons a month, and 40 ships sailed annually for New York alone. With the advent of prohibition in 1919, Winehaven went mostly unused from about 1920 until the late 1930s. The navy acquired the 412-acre site in 1941, moved into the winery buildings, and constructed 20 large concrete tanks on the hillsides above for a fuel depot. Thousands of drums of fuel were stored in huge buildings, pipelines were laid, a new pier was built and the old one was eventually removed. The Winehaven area was once more alive and bustling with ships and men. The old Winehaven Hotel was pressed into service for a period as barracks and mess hall, and the workers' houses were renovated for the use of naval personnel. The Commanding Officer of the Naval Fuel Depot was assigned the largest house on the bluff overlooking the others, which previously had been the home of the winery superintendent.
Despite the switch from wine to fuel, the historic district remains
virtually unaltered from its days as a winery. There are 35 buildings
in the National Register historic district built between 1907 and 1919,
the most notable being the castle-like Winehaven Building adorned with
crenellated parapet and corner turrets. Also within the district is
the Winemaster's House (Building 60), which became the Commanding Officer's
residence, and the quaint Village of Point Molate, a row of turn-of-the-century
cottages used to house Winehaven and military families. The Navy continued
to operate the fuel depot during the Korean War and Vietnam War until
it was decommissioned in 1995. Mixed-use development is envisioned around
its historic core when the property is transferred to a private developer.

A continuation of the series: Twitter Tips for Newbies
Twitter lists have been around for a few years, but if you're just getting started, you may not be sure why you should use them or what they even are. We are here to help!
A Twitter list is a curated group of Twitter users organized by what those people have in common. Lists help you organize your followers into categories or groups, which allows you to easily see tweets from a specific group without having to scan your entire feed, which saves you time – and who doesn't want to save time when using social media?!
A couple of restrictions to lists in Twitter that you should be aware of:
- You can have a maximum of 20 lists
- Up to 500 people on each list
Another way to use lists is to follow other people's Twitter lists. Try some out, see if they are helpful. You'll quickly figure out which ones work for you and which ones don't.
If you make one of your lists public, other Twitter users can follow it and the users you put on the list get a notification that they have been placed on your list. This may make those users more apt to check out your profile and follow you back. Remember, people love to be recognized for what they do, and by putting someone on a public list, you are doing just that.
Make sure the names you assign your lists are descriptive. Don't use "industry" or "experts" categorize people as "Email Marketing Bloggers" and/or "Email Marketing News." This way when people find your list, they will know exactly what types of people are on the list. Creating the perfect Twitter lists isn't easy, but you'll get the hang of it.
Twitter has some great step-by-step directions on how to create lists, so be sure to check them out if you're having problems. And be sure to check out our other six Twitter tips for newbies!

According to House Republican leadership aides, House GOP leaders have not yet called their members back to Washington D.C., and WILL NOT be in session tomorrow for legislative business. According to one GOP aide, "It's up to Senate Democrats to act right now."
During the House Republican conference meeting late Thursday night, leadership told the conference that they would be given 48 hours before being called back to D.C. after Christmas. According to aides, leadership has not given that notice yet.
On Friday, the House passed a motion to adjourn until Dec. 27 at 2:00 pm, but because the Senate failed to also pass the motion, the House was required to hold a short "pro forma" session on Monday. It will likely hold another pro forma session Thursday, during which no legislation will be considered.
According to a GOP aide, "Scheduling decisions are still being discussed."
Meanwhile, President Obama is now scheduled to leave Hawaii -- where he and his family have been celebrating the Christmas holiday -- later tonight and will arrive in Washington tomorrow.

Mum has gone home to visit family and she's been catching up with my cousins. I'm so happy to report that Polly who was dangerously ill a month ago is doing really well now.
You can also see in the right of the photo that Blossom has really grown! She's currently recovering from her spay operation.
Mum has also met her inheritance…
They're red footed tortoises and they will hopefully live for around 50 years! We're all very excited to have them in the family!

Goodbye, Gossip Girl! Hello, haircut!
Weeks after hanging up Blair Waldorf's signature headbands for good — star Leighton Meester has debuted a new, much shorter 'do that the prim and proper Queen B might not have approved of.
Check out photos of Leighton Meester
"Yes! I chopped off my hair after Gossip Girl wrapped," the 26-year-old actress told JustJared.com when she debuted the new look at a dinner Thursday in Los Angeles. "My long, wavy hair got a lot of mileage, so it was time for a change. The girl who did my hair on the show chopped it off and I love it. I hop out of the shower and it takes five minutes to dry!"
Seeing as Gossip Girl airs on the channel formerly known as The WB — the same network that famously prevented its leading ladies from getting drastic haircuts after Felicity-gate in 1999 — maybe this was the first time Meester was allowed to get such a different hairstyle. Good to see she's enjoying her newfound freedom.
What do you think of Meester's new look?

Just what I was looking for-individual and not too sweet. Think I'll substitute candied or dried cranberries for cherries. Maybe add some cinnamon chips?

I made these rolls today. They turned out wonderful. I would definitely recommend them. I will definitely be making these again. They are not difficult to make. I do recommend cutting up the candied cherries into very small pieces before adding to the dough--it makes it easier to work with the dough, and they look prettier. I used my own white icing recipe, but I did everything else the same as directed. When baked and iced, these rolls look very professional, and they taste great. They are nice enough to share for Christmas exchanges. I shared some with a co-worker today; she loved them. Thank you Janice Peterson!

I made these from the time they first came out. My kids loved them at Christmas. They are really good!

At microfinance institution Asociación Arariwa in Cusco, Peru, and now working with Emprender in La Paz, Bolivia, I have met a ton of animals. Being an animal lover and from New York where I rarely see live animals walking around (unless the occasional stray cat or rat or cockroach counts), seeing animals as part of my daily life is a pleasure.

Here are some of my favorite animal encounters so far in Peru and Bolivia (see photos above) -
- Meet Mariano, a Kiva/Arariwa entrepreneur who raises 600 cuy (guinea pig)!
- Meet Martha, a Kiva/Emprender entrepreneur who sells lechon (suckling pig) and pollo a la espiada (roasted chicken). She is all smiles!
- One of Asociacion Arariwa´s group quota (loan payment) meetings in Huayllabamba, a very small, rural town in Peru, took place in the courtyard of one group member´s homes. There were no less than a 75 pound pig, two enormous sheep, a lamb, a rooster and several chickens roaming around during the meeting. I was wondering if they had made their loan payments on time!
- A majestic llama and alpaca at Huchuy Cusco (Huchuy Qosqo), Incan archeological site in Peru
- Flocks of ovejas (sheep) blocking traffic at Tipón, Incan archeological site in Peru
- Gallinas (chicken) crossing the road (to get to the other side?) in Machacancha, a small town in the department of Cusco
- A whole slew of tropical animals, (including caymans and giant otters) in Manu, one of Peru's spectacular national parks. Our tour guide actually coaxed a tarantula out of its home and held it in his hand. Not what I would call fun…
- Peruvian girls dressed in traditional dress holding ovejitas (lambs) for pictures with tourists in Cusco
- Herds of grazing horses, llamas and alpacas while motorcycling through the Lares Valley, Peru

Nuevo Laredo isn't really a prime place for animal sightseeing, with the exception of this photo (not high quality, sorry!) I took of a donkey in the back of a truck. I was REALLY excited to see it because I LOVE donkeys. When I used to work in Tijuana, you always see them in the tourist districts painted as zebras and wearing big sombreros (like here: http://www.deseretnews.com/photos/midres/5763666.jpg). Tourists like to get their pictures taken with them. Anyway, so the "burro" definitely has a place in Mexican culture and imagery.When I took the photo of this guy it was really funny, the guy in the truck saw me with my camera and shouted out "Se vende!" ("It's for sale!") as the loan officer and I pulled away. So I guess the livestock-salesman entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well, even here in ultra-urban Nuevo Laredo…
Julia Kastner, KF9, Mexico
My only animal pictures are of a loan officer with a borrego, a cross between a goat and a sheep, which clients raise as meat for tacos. I have a blog about them here: http://juliakastnerfellow.com/2009/10/29/baaa-and-other-culinary-adventures/
Suzy Marinkovich, KF8, KF9, Chile
Here are 2 videos of the monkeys my husband Matt took care of in Bolivia. Both are of the same capuchin monkey – Liarona. She likes cleaning so in one video she is scrubbing the floor. In the other one, she was in heat, and was hitting on Matt! It's super funny and cute because she was smiling and "flirting " with him… I was sooo jealous. Haha
Matt also volunteered at Parque Machia in Villa Tunari (Chapare, Cochabamba, Bolivia) which is pretty much jungle. The refuge houses animals rescued or confiscated from homes. One little monkey, Lolita, was rescued from a market in El Alto where they dressed her in dresses and makeup and beat her to perform. Needless to say she is living a much happier typical monkey life in Parque Machia =)
In Cochabamba, Matt also worked for 2 months with APLEVACC, which is a group of livestock veterinarians that work with CIDRE dairy cow farmer clients. They work with certain dairy cooperatives. Thus, Matt spent more time on our borrowers' farms than I would have ever been able to. He helped deliver a baby calf on his first day. He also helped in the castration of pigs, and as the farmers are too poor to afford local anesthesia, they had to do it a very basic way (with a rope). While this was quite normal for the farmers and veterinarians, it was definitely a new area of vet medicine for Matt. It really showed us what it means to be financially dependent on your animals, and have to make a choice between their well-being and your child's. Obviously, when it comes down to it, there is no choice to be made there – so the animal has to be taken care of the best it can be with the least amount of resources available to the veterinarian. Another time, a cow ate a metal nail, and Matt and the vet used magnets and a pvc pipe to coax it out!
In Ayacucho, Peru, Matt volunteered at a local cat/dog vet clinic with the occasional livestock. He did operate on the winning rooster of a cockfight. Obviously that is another ethical predicament for veterinarians in that area – as cockfighting is a deep seeded tradition, and even if you do treat the rooster – the couple may very well use it in another fight.

An Hípica is a party on horseback, less organized than a parade and more liquor than a trail ride. From what I could gather, a typical Hípica involves decking out horses and riders in the finest tack and Western wear, riding through the city while the horses "dance" with a beautiful footwork that clicks against the pavement, adding percussion to the music being blared through giant speakers or on the floats sponsored by liquor companies. Riders and horses crowd each other while the crowd of on lookers fill in the edges and vendors make their way through whatever space is left selling water and beer and rum and soda, other sell sunglasses and peanuts and candy and quesillo. I was lucky enough to witness one in Leon, Nicaragua. I am told that the hundreds of horses that filled the streets was a small version of the celebrations that more commonly take place in the more agrarian cities of Estelí or Matagalpa. This picture is one of the youngest riders decked out in a gorgeous pink dress, other riders celebrated by dancing on top of their horses, pulling Kiva Fellows up for a ride and having another drink.

State representative wants to get rid of two elected offices
They date back to the dawn of Wisconsin government, but the future of the offices of state treasurer and secretary of state, may be in jeopardy.
"We're the only state that has this phobia about the secretary of state and the state treasurer," Wisconsin Secretary of State Douglas La Follette said.
"I think in the push for smaller government, we lost sight of efficient government," Wisconsin State Treasurer Kurt Schuller said.
"I just can't justify having those positions anymore," state Rep. Michael Schraa said.
Schraa, of Oshkosh, is introducing bills that would change the state to do away with those two offices.
"Are we just going to keep that position as a symbolic position, so that we can say that we have a treasurer and a secretary of state when they have no responsibilities? I just don't think that's being prudent with taxpayer money," Schraa said.
Each of the office holders earns an annual salary of more than $68,000.
The treasurer's office has been trimmed to a four-person staff. The secretary of state's staff, which once was 50, is now five, and the offices have been stripped of almost all responsibility.
The secretary of state no longer oversees corporations, or publishes bills, and the treasurer has lost control of the Unclaimed Property Program and was moved out of a large office off the Capitol grounds.
Now the treasurer's office can be found in the basement of the state Capitol, but you won't be able to find it here because the floor is not open to the general public. And the elected office-holders now find themselves trying to justify the existence of their jobs.
"Is there sufficient work to keep this office in business?" WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott asked.
"Sure everybody here is very busy. We get lots of mail every day, and my staff works very hard," La Follette said.
"Your budget's been slashed. Your responsibilities have been cut. What's left?" Wainscott asked.
"Well, we continue to promote the Unclaimed Property Program," Schuller said.
And that puts Schuller in an interesting position.
"It is difficult, given the fact that I ran on trying to eliminate it," Schuller said.
Elected in 2010 on an unusual pledge to do away with the Treasurer's Office, Schuller is now fighting to save it.
"We are wasting two accountable, elected, statewide officials with really very little to do, and they could be serving the public so much more," Schuller said.
"Those responsibilities have been stripped so, it really is accurate to say that they really don't do anything," University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Kenneth Mayer said.
Mayer said in principle, having the responsibilities of those offices in the hands of elected officials rather than appointed department heads, makes sense.
"The original reason for having these substantive offices that were elected was to disperse power," Mayer said.
But now he said the offices have virtually no power, and most voters aren't likely to see any value in them.
"Given the way that the offices are currently constructed, there isn't really a compelling reason to keep them around," Mayer said.
But La Follette, who has held this job for more than three decades, said he'll keep pushing to restore power to this elected office.
"Why is it so important to you to hang onto this job and to continue to fight that fight?" Wainscott asked.
"Because the fight should be fought," La Follette said.
One of the few responsibilities left for those officerholders is that, the secretary of state and treasurer, along with attorney general, make up the board of public lands, which helps fund community projects across the state.
Schraa's bill would replace those two members of the board with lieutenant governor and superintendent of public instruction.
Schraa said he thinks he's worked around the constitutional obstacles. It would still have to pass two consecutive legislative sessions, and then voters would have the final say.

DeKALB – DeKalb aldermen want more information before they decide to buy private homes and convert them at a financial loss.
That's the central policy question the DeKalb City Council needs to decide under a proposal that would have the city use tax increment financing to buy multifamily houses and convert them into single-family homes in the Ellwood Historic Neighborhood, which is northwest of downtown DeKalb.
"Is that loss worth the benefit of reducing density in the neighborhood?" City Manager Mark Biernacki said.
No vote was taken at Monday night's meeting. City staff will present more information about the pilot conversion program during the council's Committee of the Whole.
DeKalb aldermen voiced positive sentiments about the program. Alderman Dave Baker, of the 6th Ward, said he would vote for the program.
"I think there would be a tipping point eventually where that would be the most valuable spot in the neighborhood," Baker said.
Officials believe the city will lose $45,000 per house conversion. They are estimating buying a house at $150,000 and renovating it at $75,000, then reselling it at $180,000.
Biernacki said the program would be voluntary, and there would be legislation to ensure that the house could not be converted back into a multifamily unit. The program would start with one willing property owner.
"We have worked with a local realtor and contractor to identify a willing seller of a multiunit house in the neighborhood," said David Castro, a member of the Ellwood House Neighborhood Group, a group of residents who have worked with the city in the past to restore the area.
However, neither Biernacki or Castro knew how many multifamily houses this program could apply to in the Ellwood Historic Neighborhood.
As the 5th Ward alderman, Ron Naylor represents residents of the Ellwood Historic Neighborhood. Although he indicated his support for the program, he wants more information, including information about the viability of converting some of these houses.
"How much more life is really left in some of those houses?" Naylor said.
David Jacobson, 1st Ward alderman who has been a vocal critic of how TIF funds are used, expressed some skepticism about the program. Jacobson wanted to see private developers take the initiative with this program, and was worried about the city getting involved in property speculation.
"I think it would be a great opportunity for a lot of developers and home builders to get involved and step up," Jacobson said.

Getting started
Advanced tutorials
To generate accurate and correct load usually a script will need to have some changing data that it references in order to perform the actions within it. Typical examples might include:
Here we'll use the BookStore demonstration application where a list of user names will be extracted. If you want to do this for yourself in addition to AgileLoad and the bookstore you'll need the MySQL ODBC connector available here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/, alternatively you can just use the BookStore and AgileLoad installation on Amazon Web Services.
In this instance a script has been captured that logs into the application and buys a book from the bookstore. We don't want to log in as the same user each time though and if we leave the script as it is that's exactly what will happen. There may be a number of reasons that we'd want to avoid this such as the application may not allow the same user to be logged in with more than one concurrent connection or we may simply want to avoid record locking on the login table in the back end database.
The first step is to connect to the database, in this case we're using MySQL so we need a special connector to make it available via ODBC (see above).
Once the script is open use the Insert Modify Variable button (circled in red at top of screenshot) to open the Variable Properties window. Enter the name of the Variable (your choice) and in the case of login parameters use Global to ensure that user names are always unique during the test (see the manual for scope definitions for more information). Click on the Database button (circled also in red), choose the data source and if relevant specify the credentials to access the database.
Then choose between SQL or Table and either write the SQL you need to choose the data you require or use the database table browser built into AgileLoad to extract the field that you desire. You'll then be prompted for how many rows you want to extract, you can also choose all rows.
Now we have the list of Login names we can either save the list into the script or better still into a file. By default Sequential is selected – this means that the data will be ordered sequentially during execution and Random will of course choose a random value from the list. In fact his will either use the NEXT or GENERATE verb in the script to tell AgileLoad how to handle this data. To complete the process click the Generate button. This will add the necessary lines to the script.
Now that the data exists it needs to be used in the script, you can if you prefer manipulate the script directly or use the interface to do it for you. The lines circled in Red are the lines that have been inserted into the script by the Variable Properties window after we clicked Generate. If you need to make edits to these lines you can do this directly in the script or by using the Variable Properties window again by selecting the relevant variable from the Variable drop down box.
In this case we have set all of the passwords to be the same so that it is not necessary to also extract the passwords (most passwords will be stored encrypted in a database anyway). However if you do need to extract two linked values such as a username and password pair then repeat the process and ensure that at the end the line reads NEXT <Variable1>, <Variable2>; (replace the <Variable n> with the values that you have used). This will ensure that the two values remain tied, this is also true for the GENERATE command which will choose the same random record in both lists. For this to work correctly both lists have to be of the same size.

The Future We Want (FWW) is a global initiative to envision what we want our lives and communities to be like 20 years from now.
The new campaign is designed to promote next June's Rio+20 conference and the need for sustainable development by engaging people in a global conversation on. The campaign, Rio+20: The Future We Want, will work through public participation to envision how societies in all parts of the world can build a future that promotes prosperity and improves people's quality of life without further degrading our planet's natural environment.
The Future We Want: Drop by Drop http://www.dropbydrop.eu
The United Nations are asking Europeans to create a newspaper ad that inspires others to preserve water, now and for future generations.
The competition is part of 'The Future We Want', the UN's global campaign leading up to the Rio+20 Conference. Deadline for submissions is 29 February 2012
The 1billion hungry project http://www.endinghunger.org/en/motivate.html
A hungry person is weak. Tired. Unable to concentrate, study or work. Hunger leads to illness. The body starts to feed on itself, eventually leading to starvation and death.
There's a growing movement of people who are outraged by the situation. What about you?
The objectives? A critical mass of people who no longer accept the presence of one billion fellow human beings living in chronic hunger. To make a lot of noise about the problem. To build up political pressure for change.
End poverty 2015 - UN Millennium Development Goals http://www.endpoverty2015.org/
The MDGs are an eight-point road map with measurable targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world's poorest people. World leaders have agreed to achieve the MDGs by 2015.
It's up to us to make sure leaders follow through on their commitments. The "United Nations Millennium Campaign" supports and inspires people from around the world to take action in support of the Millennium Development Goals. Join the Campaign and be part of the generation that puts an end to poverty.

Richard Chamberlain stars as a priest forced to make a choice between his feelings and his ambitions in this sweeping adaptation of Colleen McCullough's novel. Set in the early 1900s on a sheep station in the Australian outback, the 1983 miniseries follows members of the Cleary family, whose move to the sheep station leads to a pivotal relationship between young Meggie Cleary and Father Ralph. When the attraction between Meggie and Father Ralph becomes obvious, Meggie's wealthy aunt forces Father Ralph to choose between Meggie and his ambition to rise within the Catholic Church. Though he chooses the church, as decades pass he continues to be drawn back to Meggie, with sometimes disastrous consequences.

Based on Roald Dahl's children's novel, "Fantastic Mr. Fox" is a 2009 stop-motion film directed by Wes Anderson.
The film is highly visual and features a great level of detail. Compared to modern animation, stop-motion adds an artistic element. There is a nuanced quality, where things are not quite perfect, but that's what separates it from other animated films.
Mature themes are incorporated into the story arc and this makes the film enjoyable for adults and kids alike.
The film was nominated for numerous awards, including two Oscars and a Golden Globe.
The Movie Club will be screening "Fantastic Mr Fox" on Wednesday 10 January 6pm sharp at Narellan Library. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided, BYO snacks are more than welcome. Stay after the screening for a short discussion about the film. See the discussion questions to get some ideas.

A federal environment ministry spokesman told Windpower Monthly: "We'll endeavour to ensure the delay is as short as possible, but we can't yet give an exact date for when the plan will be ready."
However, a draft assessment delivered to the European Commission last December contains an assurance that Germany will reach its target of 18% of energy from renewable sources by 2020 - and even exceed it by 0.7% - using domestic means, and that it will not need to get renewable energy from other states. In fact, Germany hopes for the option to provide some of its green energy to them.
The draft forecasts that, in 2012 and 2014, Germany will produce more green energy than proposed in line with the European renewables directive. This excess could be sold through joint projects in the offshore wind energy sector, it adds.
The German government targets 32.9GW of onshore wind by 2020, generating about 66TWh a year, and 9GW of offshore wind energy generating about 30TWh a year, to total nearly 42GW of wind generating 96TWh a year, or 17% of Germany's forecast gross electricity generation. The projection is contained in a forecast titled "Long-term scenarios and strategies for expansion of renewable energies in Germany - Lead scenario 2009", published in August 2009 by the federal ministry for the environment, nature protection and reactor safety.

Adriana Kučerová
She was an award winner at the European Music Prize for Youth in Hamburg 2001 and at the International Summer Academy Prague-Vienna-Budapest in 2002. At the International Hans Gabor Belvedere Competition in Vienna 2005 she was awarded 1st prize as well as the special prizes of the audience, of the Gulbenkian Foundation and of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. After her graduation she joined the ensemble of the Slovakian National Theatre in Bratislava.
At the Ravenna Festival 2006, she sang Mozart's Vesperae solemnes de confessore and Exsultate jubilate conducted by Riccardo Muti. The same year, she went to the Salzburg Mozart Wochen and at the Salzburg Festival and performed 'Serpetta' in La Finta Giardiniera conducted by Ivor Bolton. She then made her debut at the Teatro alla Scala in Dido and Aeneas and has since returned in Carmen under the baton of Daniel Barenboim.
At the Munich State Opera she sang a new production of Werther (Sophie) conducted by Ivor Bolton, 'Ninetta' in a new production of La finta semplice in Vienna as well as 'Adina' with the Glyndebourne Touring and Festival Opera and Nanetta in Falstaff and she also has made her Gretel debut (Hänsel und Gretel) at Glyndebourne, conducted by Kazushi Ono (Sunday Times wrote: "It's Adriana Kucerova's irrepressibly hyperactive Gretel who steals every scene. …").
She sang Anne Trulove in a new production of The Rake's Progress conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt at the Theater an der Wien, Sophie in Werther at the Munich State Opera, Paris Opera (Kent Nagano Conducting) and Teatro Carlo Felice Genova, Nanetta in Falstaff at the Salzburg Festival with Daniel Barenboim as well as at the BBC Proms.
Highlights of recent seasons include the title role of The Cunning Little Vixen at the Paris Opera, Gianni Schicchi with the Santa Cecilia in Rome (with conductor Vladimir Jurowski), Carmen at La Scala Milan, Le nozzi di Figaro at Houston Grand Opera; L'elisir d'amore at Rome Opera and Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin. Ms Kucerova also performed the title role in Menotti's opera Amelia al ballo at the Spoleto Festival in Italy.
Looking ahead, Kučerová will make her debut at Vienna Staatsoper in L'elisir d'amore, and will sing 'Serse' at Theater an der Wien, Falstaff at the Theatre du Capitole Toulouse, L'elisir d'amore & Le nozze di Figaro at Bayerische Staatsoper Munich and Rigoletto at Tel Aviv Opera. She will be in concert at the Røros Festival in Norway and Launen Festival in Gstaad and on a major US & European tour with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
Two recent CD releases featuring Adriana include the acclaimed Mahler 2nd Symphony recording with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (conducted by Vladimir Juroswki) and Dvorak "Love songs" with the Thymos quartet and Christoph Eschenbach on the piano.

New in 8.1: New links within User Tools
When Accordance 8 was released, it included support for two new kinds of links within Accordance tools: links to other Accordance modules, and links to internet URLs. The immediate reaction we got was, "This is great! Can we include those links in our own user tools?" The answer at that time was no, but it was always our intention to add that capability in user tools. In 8.1, we have.
To create a link to another Accordance module, enclose your link in brackets and use the following format:
For example, let's say I'm doing a study of the Greek word agapao and I want to create a kind of running record of my study. In my user tool, I would include the following link:
This link will open a window containing GNT-T, set it to search by words, and enter the word "agapaw" into the argument entry box. Note that in text modules, "w" is enough to specify a word search and "v" is enough to specify a verse search.
Next I look this word up in BDAG, so I include the following link in my user tool:
Clicking this link will open BDAG and search the Greek Entry field for agapao.
By the way, in links such as the one above, Greek and Hebrew words have to be displayed in Roman characters. That's because user tools use the font to determine which search field to place text in. If you place the word inside a link in the Greek or Hebrew font, it will index that word as belonging to the Greek or Hebrew field, and no longer recognize it as a valid link.
The search field and search argument are optional. If I want to create a link that will just open a module without searching it, I only need to include the module name in brackets, like this: [NIDNTT]
For internet URLs, simply enter the full URL into your user tool and make it a link. For example, let's say I want to reference the online Liddell & Scott lexicon entry for agapao. I would just enter the link below:
You can also create links to documents on your hard drive using the file:// protocol. Let's say I wrote a paper in college on agapao, and I want to link to it. I would just include a link like this:
You can use this protocol to create links to anything: image files, movies, Pages documents, even resources which are only available in other Bible programs.
By the way, Joe Weaks has created a handy little droplet application that will give you the URL for any file you drag onto it. When you click the link above, the application will be downloaded to your hard drive, and you can then place it in your dock or any other convenient location. When you drag a file onto it, the URL file path for that file is copied to your clipboard, and you can just paste it into your user tool and make it a link. Pretty cool, huh?
Now, including these long links to files and web pages is admittedly ugly, and I wish there were a way to hide the URLs and allow you just to display a brief description of the link. That was actually our original intention, but we found that the underlying structure of user tools prevented this. We actually debated whether we should just kill this feature, or go ahead and make it available with the understanding that you have to display the link itself. We decided on the latter, in the hope that the increased functionality will far outweigh the lack of aesthetic appeal.
With this new ability to link to Accordance modules, web pages, and files on your hard drive, your user tools can now become a launching pad to a wide array of resources. We hope you'll make good use of these links, and personally, I'm hoping to see some innovative new user tools submitted to the Accordance Exchange.

Minnesota in Egypt
It was accompanied by an exhibition entitled Life in Roman and Early Islamic Egypt. The main purpose of this website at present is to publish papers from that Symposium. We will also create a printed version for archival purposes.
December, 2011: This site now has all the materials for the book: title pages and a table of contents, seven Symposium papers, abstracts of the rest, an Appendix containing the exhibition catalogue, and and Index. The papers and the appendix are individually paginated at the top of each page, with the book pagination at the bottom. Removal of one paper necessitated repaginating the book. Final checking continues. Please let us know of any errors you find in the index.
Deborah Brown, the Byzantine Librarian at Dumbarton Oaks, very kindly volunteered to see to getting the book catalogued. We hope to get copies to her around the beginning of the year. We will print very few copies, giving them to libraries.
After that, although the basic text will not change, we will continue to note corrections here if necessary. We expect to add one more paper, whcih will appear in another book but also on line here. Other additions, e.g. of more images if appropriate, may also occur.
Please address queries and comments to email@example.com. Thank you.

Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook II: Affective Domain.
D.R. Krathwohl, B.S. Bloom, B.B Masia
David McKay Company, Inc
This landmark book lays the foundation for the role of the affective domain in education. The affective domain is the realm which emphasizes a feeling tone, an emotion, or a degree of acceptance or rejection. The book presents a detailed classification scheme for the affective domain, describes each level in the taxonomy and offers methods for assessment. There are also examples of student achievement at each step in the affective domain hierarchy, and a section that relates learning in the affective domain to learning in the cognitive domain.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority said Thursday that it had levied a temporary cease-and-desist order against Washington-based Success Trade Securities and its CEO and president, Fuad Ahmed, for fraud involving 58 investors, many of whom are current or former NFL and NBA players.
Ahmed and other registered reps at the firm sold more than $18 million in Success Trade promissory notes to 58 investors, many of whom are current or former NFL and NBA players, while misrepresenting or omitting material facts, FINRA said.
FINRA said Ahmed and the company agreed to the cease-and-desist order.
Many of the players involved were represented by Jade Private Wealth Management, which referred clients to Success Trade in exchange for kickbacks, according to Yahoo Sports, which has been investigating the matter for 18 months. Jade's client list fluctuated but has included Cleveland Browns cornerback Joe Haden, New York Giants wideout Victor Cruz and San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, the site reported.
FINRA's complaint alleges that Ahmed and Success Trade Securities, an online broker-dealer, said they were raising $5 million through the sale of promissory notes—even as the sales exceeded the original offering by more than 300%. Most of the notes promised to pay an annual interest rate of 12.5% on a monthly basis over three years, with some notes promising to pay interest as high as 26%.
FINRA also alleges that Ahmed and Success Trade Securities failed to disclose the amount of the company's existing debt to investors and that it was unable to make future interest payments without raising money from new investors.
In addition, FINRA charges that Ahmed and Success Trade Securities misrepresented how the proceeds would be used, instead improperly using the funds to make unsecured loans to Ahmed and to make interest payments to existing noteholders.
FINRA further alleges that Ahmed and Success Trade Securities misrepresented the rate of return and exempt status of the private placement offering through which the notes were sold.
As of April 4, Success Trade, the parent company, had $25,000 in its bank accounts, the complaint says.
The athletes involved were not named in the complaint.——

NECE Conference: Participation Now! Citizenship Education and Democracy in Times of Change / 21 to 24 November 2012 in Córdoba, Spain
This year's NECE Conference deals with current issues concerning democracy and participation in the face of worldwide processes of change. The developments in the Arab world following the "Arab Spring" in 2011 and the crisis of the EU will be in the focus of attention. The conference is organised as a dialogue and a platform for exchange between practitioners and activists of citizenship and human rights education, governmental and non-governmental institutions from Europe and Arab countries.
A serious loss of faith in politicians and political institutions across EU member states is an expression of the worst crisis of the European project in its history. Declining turnouts in European and national elections clearly show symptoms of democratic fatigue. Still, many citizens express a strong demand for more participation and transparency by protesting in the streets or engaging in social networks or online campaigns.
In North Africa, in countries like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, citizens' mass protests and demand for change has overthrown authoritarian regimes and, spreading over borders, started a development that has the potential to change the whole region sustainably. However, processes of transition have only just started, critically observed by many citizens.
At the conference experts and practitioners from both sides of the Mediterranean Sea will analyse the situation in Europe and in the Arab focussing on the question of participation, the relationship between citizens and political institutions and concepts of democracy. The following questions will be in the center of lectures, talks and workshops in Cordoba:
– How can we learn from each other? What are common concerns and differences?
– Which narratives/ images determine mutual perceptions of each other?
– How can citizenship and human rights education contribute to participation and change?
– Where does exchange and cooperation make sense?
For more information please visit the NECE website www.nece.eu .
