While sunny skies, sandy beaches and the warm Indian Ocean all come standard on a Mauritius holiday, a closer look will reveal that there's far more diversity on this beautiful little island than you might think.
The easiest way to decide where to go in Mauritius is to start with its four coastlines. You'll need to choose from beaches on the busier northern and western coasts or the quieter beaches to the south and east. Then, once you've chosen the perfect place to stay, consider hiring a car and exploring the rest of the island under your own steam: Mauritius is a manageable size, its coastal roads make for lovely driving, and along with a staggering selection of beaches there are plenty of places of interest from welcoming towns to pretty gardens and nature reserves in the island's green and mountainous interior.
The north of Mauritius is full of bustling energy: there are interesting shops, a fantastic selection of water sports and the island's only resort town - Grand Baie. Although Grand Baie has evolved from a sleepy fishing village into a thriving tourist destination, it still retains its friendly small-town feel along with a fine collection of hotels, restaurants and bars that line the pretty, horseshoe-shaped bay.
The waters around Grand Baie are dotted with fishing boats and aren't ideal for swimming but lying just a 5-minute drive away is the peninsular of Pointe aux Canonniers, the start of an unbroken chain of sugar-white sand beaches running all the way down the island's west coast.
On the eastern side of Grand Baie lies the quieter Rivière du Rempart region which has just a handful of resorts. Secluded coves, luxurious accommodation and world-class spas have made this north-east coast of Mauritius an increasingly popular choice for honeymooners or those seeking a romantic break.
View all Mauritius North Coast accommodation.
It's often said that 'west is best' and we certainly agree: Mauritius' west coast has unbeatable beaches ranging from the fine white sands of Trou aux Biches in the far north to the isolated Le Morne Peninsula on the south-west tip of the island. And it's Le Morne that has the most dramatic setting on the entire island: its 3km stretch of sand, reef-protected lagoon and superb golf course are all laid out at the foot of an imposing mountain.
As for Trou aux Biches, clear water and safe swimming make this strech of coast particularly popular with families, and with coral reef just a short swim from shore, it's also great for snorkelling. Trou aux Biches can get busy at times but if that's the case then simply stroll along the coast to neighbouring Pointe aux Piments – a refreshingly quiet stretch of sand, although it is rocky in places.
South of the Mauritian capital of Port Louis lies the best known – and longest – beach on the west coast: Flic-en-Flac. Sheltered from the south-east winds, the calm waters of Flic-en-Flac are ideal for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and diving while its palm-lined shore is home to a good selection of accommodation along with shops, restaurants and bars.
View all Mauritius West Coast accommodation.
More exclusive and less built-up than the west coast, the eastern coastline of Mauritius has some of the island's most luxurious hotels and is home to the extremely beautiful Belle Mare region. The mix of the softest powder-white sand, an emerald lagoon and lush green vegetation place Belle Mare firmly amongst the prettiest beaches in Mauritius, and although the sea can get rough at times you can always take a refreshing dip in the lagoon.
At the northern end of Belle Mare lies the Post de Flacq Peninsula which has several top resorts and is where to go in Mauritius for a choice of golf courses. To the south of the peninsula and only a short boat ride from Ile Aux Cerfs, lies Beau Camp, a tropical playground where you can enjoy all manner of water sports from parasailing to water skiing. Round off your day at Beau Camp with a seafood barbecue on the beach.
The east coast catches the wind, so in summer you have a welcoming sea breeze but in winter it can be a bit blustery. Check our when to go to Mauritius section for more information or simply ask one of our Africa Safari Experts about the best time to travel to this region.
View all Mauritius East Coast accommodation.
The south coast is more rugged than the rest of the island and its towering cliffs make for wonderfully dramatic scenery. There are fewer swimming beaches here - and therefore less development - and many locals say that the Mauritius south coast still reminds them of the way the island used to be before tourism took off: wild, beautiful and authentic.
In the south you'll find the Blue Bay Marine Park (Blue Baie) which protects rich coral reefs offering some of the best snorkelling and diving in Mauritius. Also well worth mentioning are Bel Ombre and nearby Chemin Grenier – both unspoiled stretches of sand in a lush green setting.
Far from the relative bustle of Grand Baie and the popular west coast, the south coast of Mauritius is for people who want to escape the crowds and enjoy genuine tranquility.
View all Mauritius South Coast accommodation.
See a different side to Mauritius: while we have no doubt that your main reason for travelling to this sun-soaked island is sandy beaches and tropical sea, we'd also highly recommend a few days inland surrounded by forested hills woven with cool, clear streams and nature trails.
Our favourite inland accommodation is Lakaz Chamarel, a boutique eco-lodge in the south west of the island close to the Black River Gorges National Park. This area is well known for its walks past thick jungle-like vegetation and pretty waterfalls, hiking and mountain biking trails, heavenly viewpoints, and fantastic birdlife including pink pigeons and green parrots - two rare species that have been bought back from near extinction.
Other places worth leaving the beach for include the surrealistically striped sand dunes at the "Seven Coloured Earth", which is also in the Chamarel region close to the Black River Gorges. And if you're up in the north of the island, why not spend a few hours at the "Jardin des Pamplemousses", botanical gardens with shady trees and giant water lilies.
At a Glance
Beaches, watersports, golf and got-it-all resorts - Mauritius delivers classic Indian Ocean holidays for families, honeymooners, scuba divers and sports enthusiasts.

In a press release from Hasbro, in step with the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, there will be a mail-away Boba Fett figure.
The mysterious Boba Fett played a key role in the original STAR WARS trilogy, firmly establishing him as a favorite villain for generations of fans. … Additionally fans are also encouraged to collect five of the marked figures in the new vintage lineup to send away for their very own "Rocket Firing" BOBA FETT action figure, identically styled after the 1980 mail-away figure.
The original "rocket firing" Boba Fett never was mailed out because it was deemed dangerous for children. Only a few prototypes were made.
More recently, there was a Boba Fett figure made with a giant rocket firing contraption on its back, which is apparently not a danger for poking your eye out.
Thanks to @yakface for the tip.


text: I missed Gap Dream's self-titled debut when the Fullerton, CA-based Burger Records released it at the beginning of the year. Though the album was written (save for a cover of a 1966 B-side by The Squires) and recorded entirely by Gabriel Fulvimar, he plays live with three others. They just finished up a tour, having stopped in Chicago last Thursday for a show at the Subterranean. A few weeks back they also did a live set on WFMU, playing mostly songs from the album but also "Generator" from the recent "Ali Baba" 7" on Suicide Squeeze. Burger has sold out of Gap Dream, but it's still available on their Bandcamp, and you should absolutely download it.

Lewis Hamilton is adopting a "wait and see" policy for the Monaco GP, but he admits he can't wait for his first Mercedes victory...
Lewis Hamilton is adopting a "wait and see" policy for the Monaco GP, but he admits he can't wait for his first Mercedes victory.
The 28-year-old made an excellent start to life at Brackley as he claimed two podiums and a pole position during his first five races.
Hamilton, though, will be the first to admit that Mercedes' W04 hasn't really had the pace to challenge the likes of Ferrari, Lotus and Red Bull for the wins to date.
However, this weekend's race on the streets of Monte Carlo is a perfect chance for the team to claim their maiden win in 2014 as it's notoriously difficult to overtake there.
"It's a good opportunity," Hamilton admitted before adding: "But you never know what the other teams are capable of.
"Mercedes were competitive here last year, and we have better a car this year, so we should be competitive. But the Red Bull, the Lotus and the Ferrari will be massively competitive too, so let's just wait and see."
He added on Sky Sports News: "I have never been so hungry to win."
While Mercedes impressed during qualifying in recent races, they have struggled on race day and they were particularly poor in Spain when he went from P2 on the grid to 12th.
The team, though, are hopeful that they have sorted out their tyre woes.
"It's definitely something we are trying to improve and we are working hard to understand it," he said during Thursday's press conference. "A huge amount of work has gone into understanding why it's happening and it has already kick-started a lot of ideas.
"But I really feel that this should be a better weekend for us than the last."

Shag Rug
This carpet was nice for the price. It had to be rolled out and stretched out for a little while so the corners would stop rolling up (had it shipped to Alaska). The description states this carpet is white. Actually it is more an off-white/cream color. I wanted a "pure white" shag carpet, but overall I am satisfied with this purchase. It does shed slightly but manageable.Read More
Shag Rug
When I searched on Overstock.com I asked for wool only and this rug came up in the search and I didn't bother to confirm - I should have realized from the price. The rug is not wool and smells very chemically. It also sheds - ever time my infant rolls around on it he comes up with fuzz in his mouth. I can't see it staying together for more that 6 months.Read More
Very inhappy
Do not order this carpet if you want a shag rug. This pile is short, hard and awful. Very unhappy.Read More
Luxurious rug
The color, butterscotch, is lighter than expected. I also didn't realize that there were at least three definitely different kinds of shag, some almost white. The rug has the silkiest feel of any rug I've ever had. You could just lay on it and "pet" it for hours. Our boxer mix dog has chosen it as his daily resting spot, which is fine since the rug shows no imprint or hair. I immediately ordered another rug, same size and color, which I laid next to the first in order to increase the coverage area. Because of the thick shag you can't see the seam.Read More

Great price
size and color
I bought the Nuloom My Soft Plush Multishag rug - round, 5 foot, 3 years ago. I really like it and it doesn't shed. I am using it in a larger room and therefore want to order a larger one to go along with the one I have, and want them to match. But I'm reading reviews about of the 4X6 and 6X6 and both say they shed. When I read the product description the materials are also different. Why are the names the same but materials are different? Is there are larger Nuloom rug that matches the materials at the 5 round? Synthetic Fiber?
Hello rugmomma, the NuLoom My Soft Plush Multi-shag rugs are all made from the same synthetic material. This is called acrylic fiber. Rest assured, it's the same rug. Thanks for shopping with us!
What is the exact measurement in inches?
Hello anacarmina, we appreciate your inquiry. The approximate measurement is 4X6 ft. The rugs are individually made, therefore , there may be slight variations in the actual size. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
Is this machine washable? How do you clean it?
Acrylic rugs: Vacuum your rug at least once a week. Most manufacturers recommend disabling beater bars and brush bars when vacuuming. Get a professional carpet cleaning done every one to two years. Blot spills as quickly as possible with a white cloth; then spot treat.

Children's Illustrated Art Museum Train Exhibit
The Children's Illustrated Art Museum will open its newest exhibit entitled "All Aboard: Now and Then". The exhibit will highlight interactive displays featuring trains and their importance throughout history.
The exhibit includes a 40' long wooden train custom-made by Home Depot; more than 80 cars and engines on display; an 8' X 11' running train display provided by Trains Across America, a mobile travelling train specialty company located in St. Peters; a 56-square-foot Thomas the Train hands-on exhibit; children's books featuring work by St. Louis artists Richard Bernal, Patricia McKissack, and David Montgomery, and; a pictorial Forney display and a pictorial Pullman Palace Car Company display. This exhibit is in collaboration with Amtrak, Chesterfield Mall, Home Depot, and Union Station and with the support of the Museum of Transportation.
"Trains played a large role in our society's development, and this is a wonderful way to educate both children and adults about its long-reaching effects," said the Museum's Executive Director Jeanne Johnston. "The community's support allowed us to create this display, so we hope everyone takes advantage of the opportunity to learn something new about this transportation."
The Children's Illustrated Art Museum is a non-profit organization designed to inspire children to read and learn through art. The train exhibit is $5 per person and $10 per family. There also are educational opportunities available for class field trips and private organizations, and Mon. and Tues. are devoted to nursing home tours.

They get excellent fuel economy, the high torque gives them very good acceleration and passing power and generally the cars fitting those requirements have been quite comfortable.

I drove it like my dad paid for the insurance and tires, but the Toyota Yaris SE wouldn't whimper or whine. I didn't set out to harm the little car, but it had a smirky attitude and wanted to run. So I obliged.
SAN DIEGO - As if San Diego needed to give visitors any more reasons to visit what many people already consider paradise, the Port of San Diego has begun sprucing up portions of the waterfront that will make this part of the city look like one big bayside theme park.
When shopping for a new or used car, the test drive is an essential part of the process. While the test drive may be exciting, experts advise car shoppers keep emotions in check and evaluate the car in its entirety to make a good purchase decision.
As small cars start to gain acceptance from American drivers, Scion has entered the market with a new one that ranks high on intelligence – the iQ. As the name implies, this little car has some smart features and is much more than simply small and economical.
After spending time in the Chevrolet Cruze locally, we thought it might be a good car for a road trip we planned from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach on the South Carolina coast. Often small cars are not comfortable for extended trips, but the Cruze is a nice comfortable size, very economical and has all the conveniences that make extended time in the car more pleasant.
There's plenty of warm summer weather ahead so it's the perfect time to look at lake destinations for your summer and fall getaways. California is blessed to have beautiful lakes in almost every region of the state, but we have chosen three lakes in particular that offer a special combination of clear, inviting water, spectacular scenery and lakefront charm.

ethereal / theme
A motile weightlessness that confounds and toys with form, the ethereal seems to exist by virtue not of matter but of vibration. It eludes location, it floats, it slips away, it is just around the bend. "Unearthly" barely approaches the superlative lightness, lucidity,
limpidity of the ethereal. Angels, fairies, and will-o-the-wisps are the creatures that might possess or comprise it: the lumpish apprehension of humans can scarcely brush it with a gross fingertip.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

text: CSEC Research Projects Cloud Forest Soils of Costa Rica As a part of our research on the effects of global climate change on sensitive ecosystems and environments, we are examining soils of the Costa Rican cloud forest soils. Cloud forests are wet mountain forests, mainly on the Pacific slopes of the Cordillera de Tilaran (in western Costa Rica), that receive much of their moisture from the soaking clouds that hug the slopes. In January 2007 and 2008, the Costa Rica class (BIO 128) visited the Santa Elena Forest Reserve in the Monteverde area and took soil cores from 1) old growth (primary) cloud forest, 2) 30-year-old secondary forest (an area that started reforestation in 1977), and 3) a ranch immediately outside of the forest reserve. One objective is to compare the organic carbon in the upper part of the soil profile from these sites to examine the effect on soil carbon storage of land clearing and reforestation. Another objective is to begin a program of monitoring the soils (thickness of the organic layer, and carbon and nitrogen content in the A and B horizons) that will last for at least ten years (and hopefully much longer), the goal being to identify changes in the soils as a result of gradual climate change. Although soils in the primary forest exhibit the strongest horizonation of the three sites, they also consistently yield the highest carbon and nitrogen contents, 14.8% and 0.8% respectively, in the upper 25 cm. Secondary forest and pasture soils both display similar levels of both carbon, 9.6% and 10.2% respectively, and nitrogen, 0.6% and 0.7%. The pasture soils typically contain a well-defined coarse sandy layer 10 to 20 cm below the surface. We interpret this as a sediment layer deposited across much of the landscape following widespread erosion, likely a consequence of the deforestation. Our preliminary results suggest that reforestation is ineffective at returning soil carbon levels to pre-land use levels on a decadal time scale. Costa Rica Soil Formation in Iceland In the last century, recession of outlet glaciers of the Vatnajökull ice sheet has exposed glacial ground moraine and outwash deposits to pedogenesis (soil formation) and floral colonization. In Skaftafell National Park, the Skaftafellsjökull has retreated over 1000 m in the last 75 years, leaving a broad proglacial plain interrupted by recessional morainal ridges. Formation of very young soils on the glacially derived volcanic sediments (andic cryofluvents) involves the accumulation of organic carbon in the uppermost soil layer and minor root turbation. Organic carbon content in this layer, as measured by combustion analysis using the LECO Truspec C/N analyzer in the Department of Biological Sciences, ranges from a high of >3% on older (60+ years), more heavily vegetated surfaces, to less than 0.5% on outwash surfaces less than 20 years old. The oldest land surfaces (more than 100 years) are almost completely vegetated, with mats of mosses up to 17 cm thick and birches averaging over 1 meter height. Surfaces less than 65 years old are at most 75% vegetated, with moss thickness averaging ~6 cm. Surfaces that are 25 years old or less are at most 30% covered, with wooly willow dominating the shrub layer. The floral cover on the youngest surfaces is 5% or less, with moss and shrubs mainly on sheltered slopes. The nearby Svinafellsjökull has a history of recession interrupted in the late twentieth century by episodes of surging, and consequently, a more complex periglacial topography. No clear correlation exists between land surface age and soil carbon content for this glacier, possibly, in part, due to the effects of continued livestock grazing in this area. This research was presented at the meeting of Northeastern section of the Geological Society of America in March 2007 and at Scholars Day, April, 2007, by Annie Walker and Jessica Curry. This research continued in Summer 2008 with additional field work performed by the members of the BIO 126 class. These students collected new data measuring floral diversity as a function of surface age. See video clips of the Le Moyne 2008 trip on YouTube!

Okay, we admit it. Lady comes with certain limitations. She's a senior. Her limited vision and hearing make it so she can't live with cats or most other dogs. And well, she needs daily medication for her arthritis. WAIT! Don't click away quite yet. Even if you can't personally provide a home for Lady, we could really use your help in spreading the word.
Although Lady has endured a lot of suffering in her life, she adores hugs and kisses, playing tug-of-war, and—it's true—sitting in your lap! Despite her charming personality, she has been at our shelter for nearly two years. So we're asking all of our supporters to use social media to help Lady find a home for the holidays. Please share this flyer on your Facebook, Twitter, blog and other social networks. Together we can find her a home!
If you live in a teens-and-up household and are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please call our Adoption Center in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900, or come meet this special Lady in person.
Last night, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed into law a bill requiring all commercial dog-breeding facilities to be licensed and inspected—for the first time ever in the state's history.
Friends, that's a big step in the right direction for dogs in Ohio, a state known as a haven for puppy mill operators, and where untold numbers of dogs are currently languishing in filthy, barren facilities.
This law is the culmination of more than six years of work by steadfast animal advocates, including the ASPCA and our supporters, and we're very encouraged to see it signed. "Ohio has taken a critical step," says Cori Menkin, Senior Director of the ASPCA Puppy Mills Campaign.
Still, the law doesn't go quite as far as we'd have liked. For one, it doesn't require commercial breeders to provide breeding dogs with annual veterinary care, which is critical to ensuring the dogs are healthy and safe.
"This is just one of the problems that we weren't able to fix, but the legislation is still a step in the right direction," says Vicki Deisner, State Director of ASPCA Government Relations for the Midwest region. "We look forward to working with the Ohio Department of Agriculture to ensure humane standards of care are instituted through the regulatory process."
We've got so much more work to do for puppy mill dogs in Ohio and other states. If you're ready to join the fight, visit NoPetStorePuppies.com to get started.
It's hard to understand how someone could beat an animal to death with a rock, and then proudly post a video of the grisly scene online. And yet, that's exactly what one individual did. On December 3, ASPCA Agents arrested Jordan Heuer for attacking, injuring and causing the death of an opossum in a Queens, New York, park.
After the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) received complaints about a video of the incident posted online, the organization referred the issue to the ASPCA. We opened a criminal investigation.
"This is a disturbing case of violent abuse in which the suspect went out of his way to not only inflict pain on a helpless animal victim by smashing it repeatedly on its head with a rock, but to also record and post the brutal event on the Internet," says Stacy Wolf, Vice President and Chief Counsel of the ASPCA's Humane Law Enforcement and Legal Advocacy departments.
Heuer, 18, was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty—under current New York law, felony animal cruelty charges can be brought only in cases involving companion animals. If convicted, he faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
"This is precisely the sort of case that supports making the more callous acts that cause serious injury or death to wild animals into felony offenses," Wolf notes, citing the extreme depravity of the opossum's death.
We couldn't agree more, and our Government Relations team is on the case. Bill Ketzer, ASPCA Senior Director of Government Relations for the Northeast, adds: "We will continue to work with legislators…to help shape laws to cover these types of especially heinous acts, regardless of whether the animal victim is a pet or a wild animal."
If you've witnessed abuse, don't hesitate: Report animal cruelty.
Retractable leads—those long leashes that extend to allow your dog to roam freely—are great for trips to a wide open space like a park. They let your dog sniff and explore more freely. But if you've got one that you use on daily walks in the city or on a busy path, it might be time to ditch it. Here's why.
1. The leash can get caught on you, your dog, a cyclist or jogger and cause tripping, rope burn, cuts and even strangulation.
2. You might have the best-behaved dog in the world, but what about that other dog down the block? When you use a retractable leash, you're opening your dog up to all sorts of dangers, including those posed by less-friendly dogs, bikes and cars. You may not be able to hit the brakes in time.
3. Retractable leashes allow your dog to approach other dogs uninvited, and that's just downright inconsiderate. Other pet parents may not want their dogs to greet your dogs for a variety of reasons, including your own dog's health and safety.
4. Perhaps worst of all, should you drop the leash in an already-busy area, its sudden retraction and the noise the handle makes when dragging on pavement can terrify even the most even-keeled dogs. That means your dog is much more likely to bolt.
We get why people are attracted to retractable leads, but for these reasons and more, we're sticking with our dog's good old six-foot leash when we're on busy streets. For your pet's safety, we hope you will, too.
At the ASPCA, we meet a lot of dogs…and to be honest, we fall in love with most of them! But some pups stand out as very, very special. A few even seem to serve as role models for us, reminding us to stay positive even in the face of adversity.
Johnny is a dog like that. Rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement department in August, Johnny had already been through a lot in his four years of life. He wasn't able to use his back legs, and at first we thought he had been injured. Then our veterinarians learned he had a severe spinal infection that had left his hind legs paralyzed.
Our vets addressed his long-untreated infection right away and began the task of rehabilitating him. Slowly, Johnny regained his strength until finally, it happened: Johnny learned to walk again.
Through it all, Johnny remained the happy-go-lucky, cuddly, sweet little muffin he is to this day. He thinks he's a lap dog and essentially lives for snuggling. Frankly, his cheery outlook on life is downright inspiring.
Though he won't ever have a full range of motion again, Johnny gets around just fine and loves to use his legs. Now, he's ready to go home—in fact he's already waited months to meet his match.
Could you please help us spread the word about Johnny? We can't wait to see his well-deserved happy ending. He doesn't seem to want much beyond affection and kindness. He can live with kids eight and up and other pets, and he'd be happy in a home just about anywhere—he only needs people who are up for tending to his sensitive skin, and who have as much love to give as he does!

I had a good experience here. The person that quoted me was nice and helpful. I got three quotes and theirs was the lowest. I took it in and they said about 6 working days and it was done in 5. Got the car back and it looks great. I have no complaints ... I'm very happy with my experience.

was a bit nervous taking my 'baby' (my mini with under 3K miles) to this collision center, when this place absorbed Long Beach BMW's Body Shop. They made sure I was well looked after, and that our car was fixed promptly, and their place is clean (not like some of the places you have to wait). Richard and the gang were very nice the two times I had to come in for little things after getting rear-ended. There is also an Enterprise nearby if you need a rental.

|System Requirements
|Version History
The initial motivation for this plugin was to enable FARR to reuse the searches already available in one's local installation of Firefox -- those available via its Search Bar / Search Box. Firefox makes use of OpenSearch plugins to provide this functionality. OpenSearch plugins are used by Firefox, IE 7, and other apps to allow one to search various sites more conveniently and quickly. For those interested, there is more OpenSearch-related info at:
As it stands now, the plugin has some level of support for the following browsers:
- Firefox 3 (2 might work, but I didn't test)
- IE7 (8 may end up working, but who knows?)
- K-Meleon (not as customizable as the other two)
I haven't decided whether to continue developing this plugin at this point. Whether I continue may depend on the level of success I have with cleaning up the existing code
The installation flow is the same as other FARR plugins:
- Unpack the archive (probably a zip file) into FARR's Plugins directory
- If FARR is running already, tell it to reload plugins (e.g. via the 'goreload' alias)
- If FARR is not running, start it up
Configuration may be necessary to indicate to the plugin where to look for browser-maintained searches. There is a detailed README.txt included in the plugin.
Using the Application
- Bring up FARR.
- Type: ks Amazon:little schemer
- Choose one of the results (e.g. via numeric keypad).
The usage is modeled after the SokuGin Alias -- more details are available for that at its forum thread.
One way that may work is:
- Quit FARR
- Find and delete the plugin's folder from FARR's Plugins directory

Single-party state
|Part of the Politics series
|Party politics
|Political spectrum
|Party platform
|Party system
|Politics portal
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (September 2014)
A single-party state, one-party state, one-party system, or single-party system is a type of state in which a single political party has the right to form the government, usually based on the existing constitution. All other parties are either outlawed or allowed to take only a limited and controlled participation in elections. Sometimes the term de facto single-party state is used to describe a dominant-party system that, unlike the single-party state, allows (at least nominally) democratic multiparty elections, but the existing practices or balance of political power effectively prevent the opposition from winning the elections.
Single-party states justify themselves through various methods. Most often, proponents of a single-party state argue that the existence of separate parties runs counter to national unity. Others argue that the single party is the vanguard of the people, and therefore its right to rule cannot be legitimately questioned. The Marxist theory states that political parties represent the interests, most of which, in a liberal system, respond to the economic power and are part of the system (the superstructure) where whoever wins there will be no substantial changes, once abolished class distinctions no place for the struggle for multiparty own economic interests, however, an organization that is able to formulate national policies and manage their reins to ensure the development of socialism is necessary, this organization is the only party to be the only existing single social class and the common interest of progress.[clarification needed]
Some single party states only outlaw opposition parties, while allowing subordinate allied parties to exist as part of a permanent coalition such as a popular front.[citation needed] Examples of this are the People's Republic of China under the United Front, or the National Front in former East Germany. Others may allow non-party members to run for legislative seats, as was the case with Taiwan's Tangwai movement in the 1970s and 1980s.
Within their own countries, dominant parties ruling over single-party states are often referred to simply as the Party. For example, in reference to the Soviet Union, the Party meant the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; in reference to the former People's Republic of Poland it referred to the Polish United Workers' Party.
Most single-party states have been ruled either by parties following the ideology of Marxism-Leninism and international solidarity (such as the Soviet Union for most of its existence), or by parties following some type of nationalist or fascist ideology (such as Italy under Benito Mussolini), or by parties that came to power in the wake of independence from colonial rule. One-party systems often arise from decolonization because one party has had an overwhelmingly dominant role in liberation or in independence struggles.
Single-party states are often, but not always, considered to be authoritarian or totalitarian. However, not all authoritarian or totalitarian states operate based on single-party rule. Some, especially absolute monarchies and certain military dictatorships, have made all political parties illegal.
The term "communist state" is often used in the west to apply to states in which the ruling party subscribes to a form of Marxism-Leninism. However, such states do not use that term themselves, seeing communism as a phase to develop after the full maturation of socialism, and instead often use the titles of "people's republic", "socialist republic", or "democratic republic". One peculiar example is Cuba, where the role of the Communist Party is enshrined in the constitution, and no party is permitted to campaign or run candidates for election, including the Communist party. Candidates are elected on an individual referendum basis without formal party involvement, though elected assemblies predominantly consist of members of the dominant party alongside non-affiliated candidates.[1]
The True Whig Party of Liberia is considered the founder of the first single-party state in the world, as despite opposition parties never being outlawed, it completely dominated Liberian politics from 1878 until 1980.[2] The party was conceived by the original Black American settlers and their descendants who referred to themselves as Americo-Liberians. Initially, its ideology was heavily influenced by that of the Whig Party in the United States. Over time it developed into a powerful Masonic Order that ruled every aspect of Liberian society for well over a century until it was overthrown in 1980. While the True Whig Party still exists today, its influence has substantially declined.
Current single-party states[edit]

These "heroes," along with their guidance counselor colleagues, work as tireless advocates to create solutions that provide their students with a chance at a first-class education. We honor Clete Gualtieri, who works as a counselor for Jamesville-Dewitt High School, and is a long-time friend of Le Moyne College. In addition to being a proud member of the Le Moyne class of 1983, several members of his family also graduated from the College. He is also a past winner of the College's Edward J. Gorman Award for Excellence in Counseling. One of Clete's favorite sayings is "schools thrive on hope," a philosophy that serves as a reminder to all that a college education brings with it unlimited opportunities. When asked why he's so passionate about what he does, Clete said, "As a high school counselor, I am honored and energized to be a part of young people's lives at such an important and exciting time for them." On behalf of all of us at Le Moyne College, congratulations Clete! We pray that you continue to be a "merchant of hope" for all the young men and women whose lives you touch. Comments By Dr. John F Dolan @ Thursday, November 07, 2013 8:33 PM Way to go, Clete. You inspire us all to continue the work we do on behalf of our students!!

Interpretive Handbook
8296 :
Phospholipids, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The phospholipids comprise about 1/3 of the total lipids in serum. These consist in a large part of a lipid, phosphatidylcholine (formerly lecithin), in which 1 of the glycerol carbons is esterified with choline phosphate. A major step in lipoprotein particle remodeling results from lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity, which normally transesterifies free cholesterol with fatty acids derived from phosphatidylcholine. LCAT deficiency results in a lack of remodeling of primary lipoprotein particles, affecting eventual cholesterol uptake and elimination. In cases of deficiency of LCAT, the concentration of lecithin in the serum are increased several-fold.
Clinical findings in LCAT deficiency include corneal opacities, anemia, and frequently, proteinuria. The disorder is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Early atherosclerosis develops in many individuals with this disorder.
In addition, sphingomyelin normally comprises about 5% to 20% of the total phospholipids of serum. In Niemann-Pick Type A and B diseases, sphingomyelin accumulates in visceral and neural tissues and may become increased in the serum.
Other disorders involving alterations of the concentration, composition, and/or lipoprotein distribution include: abeta- or hypobetalipoproteinemia, Tangier disease, or fish eye disease.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
First-order test in the diagnosis of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Elevated in cases of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency deficiency due to elevations of lecithin
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Analyses of disorders mentioned are complex. Specialized additional testing may be required.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
155-275 mg/dL
Reference values have not been established for patients that are less than 16 years of age.

Glenfiddich is one of three William Grant-owned whisky distilleries which sit in relatively close proximity to each other to the north of Dufftown, the spiritual heart of Speyside. Founded in 1886, by William Grant of Mortlach and Balvenie fame, the Glenfiddich distillery is currently one of but three distilleries to bottle on site and houses stills with a total yearly capacity of ten million litres. Furthermore, Glenfiddich matures its single-malt whisky in their onsite warehouses, which number forty-three and have a capacity of 800,000 casks. Malt is bought in, a proportion of this is made up of that malted at the neighbouring Balvenie distillery. Glenfiddich was the first distillery with a visitor centre, which receives 125,000 visitors per annum and underwent a £1.7 million rebuild in 2005. World famous, Glenfiddich is the number one top-selling single malt whisky not only in the UK, but also globally. Following the end of the Second World War and the resultant surge in whisky demand, Glenfiddich was a relatively small brand and faced hefty competition from the blended scotch brands which held a veritable monopoly on the market. Rather than competing directly, the Glenfiddich distillery concentrated on single malt sales and in 1963 became the first Scotch whisky to be marketed as such, flying proudly in the face of critics. The gamble paid off and eleven years later sixteen new stills were installed to cope with demand. The range is large and includes several cask finishes as well as a 2002-released 1937 vintage, of which there are just sixty-one bottles, each came with a recommended retail price of £10,000.

Sunrise, FL (Sports Network) - Dmitry Kulikov scored the winner 1:43 into overtime as the Florida Panthers rallied for a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
In the extra session, Kulikov had the puck poke-checked away from him by Martin Brodeur on a short break, but the puck came over to the left circle. From there, Brian Campbell fired it over to the right and Kulikov sent the disc into the far side for the win.
"That win shows a lot of character for this team," said Kulikov. "We played from start to finish here and didn't give up when we fell behind in the third period. This was a nice win for us."
Shawn Matthias scored twice, including the tying goal with 27 seconds left in regulation, while Jacob Markstrom stopped 24 shots for the Panthers, who have won consecutive home games for the first time this season.
Steve Bernier scored both goals for the Devils, who have dropped their past three. Brodeur made 27 saves in the loss.
"You know we keep getting points and that's a positive thing," said Brodeur. "The teams around us have been struggling a little so it's been a little easier to take. But at the same time we're going to have to start winning hockey games."
The Devils had taken a 2-1 lead at the 7:57 mark of the third on the power play when Henrik Tallinder's shot from the high slot was deflected into the net by Bernier.
Florida, though, answered with the goalie pulled and time winding down as a backhand pass from the left side by Scottie Upshall saw Matthias shoot it home from the slot with bodies in front.
The Devils took a 1-0 lead just 3:42 into the game as a turnover in front saw Bernier tip the puck in off a feed from Ryan Carter.
The Panthers tied the game with 7:05 to play in the opening frame on a power play as Jonathan Huberdeau sent a pass from the right circle to the front of the net where it went off the skate of Matthias and into the net.
Neither side scored in the second period as Brodeur made 13 saves and Markstrom turned away seven shots.
Florida plays in Tampa Bay on Tuesday ... New Jersey hosts the Islanders on
Monday ... The Devils took a 2-1 win at home against the Panthers last
Saturday ... Huberdeau had two assists in the game.

I am responding to John Bennett�s letter to the editor in the Oct 19 edition.
John does not correctly state the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church regarding a Catholic accepting all the church�s moral teachings. A Catholic cannot pick and choose which church teaching on morality they choose to accept or reject. Catholics who reject church moral teachings on, for example, homosexuality, abortion and chastity, are in fact heretics and set themselves apart from the Body of Christ. They delude themselves into thinking they are correct when they are not. Worse yet, their scandalous rejection of church authority on morality often leads those weak in their faith into grave sin for which they will be held accountable by God (Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 2284-2287).
The Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church is quite clear what Catholics must believe:
Can. 750 �1. A person must believe with divine and Catholic faith all those things contained in the word of God, written or handed on, that is, in the one deposit of faith entrusted to the Church, and at the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the solemn magisterium (the teaching authority) of the Church or by its ordinary and universal magisterium which is manifested by the common adherence of the Christian faithful under the leadership of the sacred magisterium; therefore all are bound to avoid any doctrines whatsoever contrary to them.
�2. Each and every thing which is proposed definitively by the magisterium of the Church concerning the doctrine of faith and morals, that is, each and every thing which is required to safeguard reverently and to expound faithfully the same deposit of faith, is also to be firmly embraced and retained; therefore, one who rejects those propositions which are to be held definitively is opposed to the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith.
John�s quote from Joseph Ratzinger�s 1968 commentary on Article 16 of Pastoral Constitution On The Church In The Modern World, Gaudium Et Spes to justify disobedience of church teachings on morality by Catholics misrepresents the true meaning of this quote. To understand what Joseph Ratzinger wrote, one must have an understanding on what the church teaches about conscience in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (paragraphs 1776-1802). In summary the Catechism says:
� Man must obey his conscience.
� Man must recognize that his conscience can be erroneous and seek to inform it.
� A true or correct Catholic conscience is one that has made a sincere effort to discover the truth and one that acts in accordance with the word of God and the teachings of the church.
We can safely assume that Pope Benedict XVI, being a practicing Catholic, holds all of the above three. See Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger�s talk �Conscience and Truth� presented at the 10th Workshop for Bishops, February 1991 in Dallas for a more in-depth treatise of what he understands conscience to be.

Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery is difficult in part because the most complicated decisions rely heavily on the plastic surgeon's judgement and experience. The fundamental issue, which is to often taken for granted, is should a given patient have surgery at all. Plastic surgery is not for everyone, and because of cost, risks, recoveries and consequences such as scarring, it may not be appropriate for every interested patient. Dr. Pin believes it is his responsability to identify and operate on only those who are well suited surgical candidates.
If surgery seems reasonable, the next question is how to match the right operation with the patient. For example, this is fequently the case for women who particularly after having children are interested in improving their abdomen. Since there is no absolute right answer, Dr. Pin must assist the patient in deciding which operation is best suited for her based on her anatomy, lifestyle, recovery and feelings about scarring. This process is crucuial, as a frequent cause of patient dissatisfaction is the "wrong" operation on the "right" person.
Finally, reliable judgement is essential in order to deternine how long or how extensive a particular procedure can be for a patient before it becomes unsafe. With the advent of "Extreme Makeover", patients are often captivated by the idea of having a dramatic makeover done in one extensive setting. While this can occasionally be accomplished, Dr. Pin will utilize his experience and judgement to determine the safest manner in which to achieve someone's ultimate "makeover".
All of his surgeries are performed in a hospital setting/ Though seldom needed, this gives patients the additional availability of both emergency medical equipment, and the assistance of physicians, of other specialties to aid with any unforseen problems. All anesthesia is administered by Board Certified Anesthesiologists, rather than by nurses. Dr. Pin's goal is to minimize risk for every patient any way he can. He is continually re-examining his techniques in order to enhance safety and reduce complications.
