Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island is located on Nassau's famous Cable Beach. This luxurious all–inclusive resort that delivers leisure in an oasis of 'old world charm' and understated elegance. This elegantly appointed resort looks out upon the crystal clear turquoise blue water of the Bahamas. A feeling of timeless elegance adorns the stately entrance and colorful bougainvillea that line the cobblestone driveway.

Just off shore, guests have access to a private-island escape called Sandals Cay. Sandals Cay offers a fresh-water pool, swim-up pool bar, spa tub, and a Caribbean restaurant. An extension of the resort spa is available there, as well.

What do you do by Duchaning when there is no Levi or Bechor to wash the Kohain's hands?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I believe the Cohen washes his own. If I recall correctly, the Gemara just talks about how Cohanim wash. Having someone else do it is the Zohar.
If there is no levi, a bechor (firstborn) should do so. If there aren't any bechorim, then the kohein should wash his own hands (M.B. 128 sk. 22).

No More Frozen Ears
Some chuckle at the look of the classic hunting cap, but they change their tune pretty quick in -20 degree cold. Ear flaps fold down to fight frostbite, and are fully lined in plush, premium shearling for softness and itch-free warmth. The wool blend construction stays warm and breathable, not sweaty, with natural weather resistance. Shapeable bill is 10% larger to keep glare from your eyes.

Best Uses
the hat has no headband so the bill digs into your forehead,,after 10 minutes of wear time i had red bands dug into forehead and started to get a headache,,the size was right at a 2xl,,if it wasnt for the bill it would be a great hat,,it will be returned
Service and delivery comments:
shipping on this is 9.99 which will not be refunded,,plus 6.95 to return it which wont be refunded,,,,if i could try this on in a store then i would never had bought this,,that is the major con of shopping online,,,but other online sites have free shipping and return shipping which i will use.
Size large was supposed to fit my 23" head, but it's tight across the forehead. I may have to try an extra large.
Keeps head and ears warm, very soft.
Best Uses
When the temperatures drop, reach for this hat! I have a large head, and my ears are very sensitive to the cold; this hat fits well, and is cozy warm. I am a lady, and it forfills the style quotient perfectly fine. I will probably purchase the green also, because the price is right, and good quality at a sensible price is a two fer!
Best Uses
This hat is sooo comfortable and warm The ear flaps are long so there is no gap on the back of your neck. Very well made
Best Uses
A warm hat that actually fits, stays on and keeps head and ears warm. Real lambswool on the earflaps is also very nice.

You had to have known this was coming.

This is Moffat's first inclusion on the Team of the Week this season.
Watch Moffat's golazo (Vote for Goal of the Week)
A brief history of Moffat Bombs
Tonight, the Dynamo Academy, presented by Statoil, U-16 team faces Real Salt Lake-Arizona at 8:30 p.m. at Houston Amateur Sports Park in a crucial U.S. Soccer Development Academy Finals Week group match. Admission and parking are free.
Former Dynamo defender Eddie Robinson is the head coach of the U-16 club and helped guide the team to the elite Finals Week in just his second season in his new coaching role.
U.S. Soccer spoke with Eddie this week about his new role. From the article:
"The biggest part is understanding the psychology of 15- and 16-year-olds," Robinson said. "Understanding that there's so much outside the field that I can't do anything with. My job is to create an environment that not only teaches them soccer and fundamentals, but also builds character. That's what we've done here."
Oh what a night…
I am so proud to be part of a organization that honors heroes of all sizes and ages. A small group of Dynamo Charities board members supported Chris Canetti for the second Soccer Night in Newtown in mid-May. Last month the fallen firefighters were honored at the stadium by the team, and, just as importantly, by the soccer community. And our last home match was Armed Forces Appreciation Night, where we brought over 1,500 service personnel to the game. It was also a very personal night for me as my father was the service man honored by the Dynamo at halftime for his 33 years of military service, starting as a private and retiring as a colonel. He and my mom were very touched by the warm applause from our fantastic fans.
Next up are the Potters from Stoke City Football Club! They have a strong squad including U.S. internationals Brek Shea and our friend Geoff Cameron, as well as German international Robert Huth, will be here July 24th. The BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup is not just a game, it is a community event – and to that, we will be announcing more events leading up to the game soon. Come join us, get your tickets and really cool scarf now! And, you can actually be part of the festivities around the game, including ball delivery, coin toss, etc. Here is the link for details.
On August 13th, Chewy and Will (and hopefully many of their teammates) will let the kids shave their heads at Dogwood in Midtown. The doors of Dogwood will open to the public at 4 p.m. for a celebrity pour with proceeds benefitting Bald is Beautiful / Curing Children's Cancer Fund. Then on Saturday, to top off our celebration of Bald is Beautiful, we are shooting to set a world record with 400 head shaves in one hour on Orange Avenue just prior to the August 17th game. More information and to register to be part of the world record attempt go here. Looking for youth soccer teams to step up here – you need haircuts for school anyway… .
We are also proud to announce our first four sponsors for the ADA Houston Tour de Cure bike jersey – Halliburton, Bicycle World, Camelot Realty Group and K-Pop restaurants. You can join the best team out there for the September 21st ride – remember that you have to raise at least $150 to get the coolest bike jersey in town. If you or your company want to be a sponsor for the jersey (good spots still available), contact Maria Duran at 713.276.7533.
Still to come in October is Adam's Toy Chest benefitting B.I.G. Love (looking for the supporter groups in particular to jump on this one), and of course our annual Dynamo Celebration to cap off the season.
To close this edition, I would like to again thank the Dynamo players for their commitment to the community, for giving their time and literally the shirts off their back to improve the lives of all in the Houston area and beyond. While the Dynamo Charities board members work hard, we are nothing without the support and commitment of the players.
Check out Adam Moffat's golazo from this Saturday from every angle, including the twitter reaction that night.
It's up for MLS Goal of the Week, so make you get your votes in.

After years and years of mailbox catastrophes, I decided to build the "perfect" mailbox. My criteria was to build a box that:
- has a frame that will withstand attacks from kids with bats, snow plows & drunks - the box is made of 3/16 plate
- must rotate so snow plow won't tear off box - see kick shoe on back of post mount
- is big enough to handle large packages or accumulation of mail for extended period
- has height adjustment to make mail delivery guy happy - see adjustment on post that can be move to fit car or truck window height
- has a positive door latching mechanism - I used high strength, adjustable magnet
- has a way of moving mail that is shoved to back so it is easily accessible - see pull out slide to move mail forward towards door
- minimizes water entry (using false flooring & overhang on door) - the floor offset from bottom about 3/4"
- has a substantial flag that won't flop around - used tension washers to place friction on the arm and position restrains on arm in up & down position
- and cannot be easily stolen.
Here are the photos of the mail box finally in place. I don't know exactly what the box weighs, it took two of us to mount it. I drove the 4" post about 4 feet into the ground with our post pounder. The box is very slightly tilted to the front to assure water drainage. So far the box hasn't suffered any attacks, but I'm waiting to see what kind of damage a car or truck will get when they hit this thing. At this point I wouldn't say this is the "Perfect" mailbox, but it's getting close. I'm still working on a door locking mechanism that is acceptable to the mail delivery guy. And I'm thinking of putting a small LED light inside the box so I can see what's in there at night. My wife thinks I'm crazy for noodling around with this thing so much... but, that's what happens when you retire and have a Miller Mig Welder (I love my 251!).

"Mailboxes, Etc.........."
MTBob: That turned out great! You put a lot of thought and planning into your design. Hopefully, no one will "try it out." Nice pictures, Colorado? Got to be out west, the sky's too blue!

Dang, I knew I forgot something... the bill eliminator. When I get that design feature worked out, I'll be quick to share it with everyone.

As far as a light is concerned get some rechargable D cell bateries and conect them to a small solar panel and make a switch that comes on when you open the door. You can never have too much fun with any high quality tool such as a Miller MIG.
Looks great, I would love to see the kids face that hits it with a baseball bat
Seeing how I plow roads I would like to offer you a suggestion though, with mailboxes being so close to the road and especially being a dark color and so heavy, you may want to put some reflective tape on it. Plowing at night, dark objects are hard to see, I have hit a few myself in the past 31 years, one spun around like a top.Ken

Classification of Psychodermatological Disorders
There is no universally accepted classification of psychodermatological disease, but this slideshow serves as a general overview of these disorders.
Update on Trichotillomania
Despite its occurrence in up to 3.4% of adults, hair–pulling disorder or trichotillomania (TTM) is often under-diagnosed and inappropriately treated, according to a panel of experts presenting at the recent APA meeting.
Psychodermatology: When the Mind and Skin Interact
Skin diseases are not just a cosmetic issue; they are associated with a variety of psychological reactions that affect patients' level of functioning and can produce agony for the family.
Treating Patients with Trichotillomania and Other Related Behaviors
Here, Dr Jon E. Grant talks about the genetics, neurobiology, and cognitive processes of body-focused repetitive behaviors, which include trichotillomania, skin picking, and other behaviors.
The Impact of Screen Media on Children
In essence, screen media constitute neurologically potent, arousing input to the developing brain. Unlike conventional toxins, their effects are mediated by sense organs. However, they have demonstrable effects on brain activity, and on behavior and function.
Changes in Psychiatric Diagnosis
DSM-IV-TR, our current diagnostic classification system of psychiatric disorders, follows the diagnostic paradigm first established by DSM-III in 1980.
Understanding the Differences Between Impulsivity and Compulsivity
Impulsivity and compulsivity are natural behaviors controlled by brain mechanisms that are essential for survival in all species. Understanding these brain mechanisms may lead to targeted treatment strategies for these symptom domains when impulsivity and compulsivity become dysfunctional.

At the ITB international travel fair, the German Cyclists' Federation (ADFC) bestowed its certification of premium quality on two new routes. The 960km D-Route 3 – part of the R1 European Cycle Route – is the longest long-distance cycle trail running right across Germany and has been awarded three stars. The 260km Fulda Cycle Route has also been recognised as a premium route, receiving four ADFC stars. Long-distance cycle routes in Germany pass through rural regions and scenic vineyard landscapes, as well as through towns and cities with cultural attractions. Surfacing, navigability, signposting and tourist infrastructure are among the quality features and key grading criteria for a premium cycle route.

The Mongolka model with a leather top is another version of the classic Russian hat. The name Mongolka translates to Mongolian hat. This model is so named because the base of the hat was a Mongolian skullcap trimmed with fur. We use genuine quality leather for the top of the hat. This model has hidden ear flaps made of warm fabric that help fit it snugly onto the head. The ear flaps are hidden by the fur. Mongolka are also royal hats, but unlike the Boyaryshnia such caps in Russia are gifts given TO tsars and kings. The most famous of such a hat in Russia is a cap called Monomakh. A special tape adjusting band inside the hat enables you to decrease the size by 2-3 cm.

Open letter Virginia's Boards of Supervisors, Delegates, Senators, and Gov. McDonnell:
I think that the three largest issues in the Commonwealth of Virginia are the out of control budget, the out of control debt and the out of control spending that is causing the first two problems.
1) It is unacceptable that we have something like a $20 billion hole in our $70 billion to $80 billion Virginia Retirement System. Phase this thing out now, because our government and our people are clearly not competent to manage it. Let Virginia employees control their own retirement investments, and do not further bind the People of this Commonwealth to unreasonable and crippling agreements of this, or any other sort.
2) Stop approving spending on any project, until you have determined that (1) the project indeed needs to be done, and (2) that the project is reasonably and fairly priced.
Many people object to education spending, and there are serious problems there. But I submit that the most outrageous and egregious overspending today is going to transit and roads. Here, and across the nation, it has been the road and transit projects — the Boston Big Dig, the ARC Tunnel, the Dulles Rail/Silver Line, WMATA and others, that are the most out of control. I point out that in the past ten years we have seen an incredible explosion in the costs for these items, and it is becoming more and more clear that the prices that governments pay for these things do not withstand the light of day.
A very good and important example that is relevant here today, is the double prices, and more than double prices, that MWAA brought us in the Dulles Rail/Silver Line debacle.
I submit that we must not continue to allow our nearly independent transit agencies to double charge, and more than double charge us to death. Therefore I wonder if we lowly taxpayers and tollpayers might be allowed to see the detailed line item pricing for the elements we will be asked to pay for.
Where do project cost estimates come from? Aren't they added up from individual element costs? Who checks the individual element costs?
How are individual element costs checked and justified? Are these numbers actually officially estimated? If not, why not? If so, who does this estimating?
Are the cost estimators for these jobs ever questioned on a line item by line item basis, in any hearing that is accessible to the public? If not, why not? If so, are the results of these hearings available to the public that is expected to pay for all of this? If not, why not?
Most people don't know what a Metrorail station should cost, what a parking garage should cost, what a mile of rail track should cost, etc.
They hear cost numbers reported, and they have no standard of reference by which to evaluate those cost numbers. They mistakenly expect their elected leaders and government agencies to make sure that proper prices are negotiated in their name.
Unfortunately, it seems that our elected and appointed leaders also do not know, and remarkably don't care, what these line items should cost.
They might reject this or that line item, but they never check to see if the line items they approve are reasonable, or ridiculous. In effect, they never question or negotiate the line item prices, they simply accept or reject the line items they are handed. With all due respect, that is not wise, because we are routinely being handed massively overpriced line items, and the result is unmanageable, skyrocketing costs.
Here is a very clear example of this (and there are others that have been documented):
In the recent Dulles Rail/Silver Line project approvals, our elected leaders were oblivious that our planned Route 28 Metro station is much less capable than a comparable Metrorail station in Fairfield, Conn., but yet it will cost 2.4 times as much!
Compare our Route 28 Metrorail station to Fairfield's Metrorail Station, which was completed December 2011.
1) Fairfield's station can accommodate 12-car trains. Our Route 28 station can only accommodate 8-car trains.
2) Fairfield's station should be more expensive, because it is the 'dual side-platform' design. Our Route 28 station is the less costly 'island platform' design.
3) Fairfield's station has full-length canopies on both of their 12-car platforms. Our Route 28 station has a half-length canopy on its single 8-car platform.
Yet the Fairfield Metro station costs less than half as much as our Route 28 station is estimated to cost. Can anybody explain that?
The price difference in this one case alone is about $55 million! The price was about $46 million for the Fairfield Connecticut Metrorail station, and about $101 million for the Route 28 Metrorail station.
Furthermore, there are five more Metrorail stations in the Dulles Rail project that are almost exactly the same as the Route 28 station. Are they also overpriced by $55 million each? If so, why was that not flagged? And, if not, why was the pricing unequal?
Where is the proof that all of our ballooning transportation funding needs are not the result of massive overpricing like that? Where can people go to find proof that this is not the case? I fear that this IS the case, and that the crippling costs that you are struggling to pay, are excessive and should not be paid at all!
Public-Private Partnerships of various sorts were sold to us as ways to REDUCE costs — but it seems that the tricky rules of these agreements have been twisted to hide massive overcharges from public view, and then we get such enormous overcharges that our economy can not sustain the resulting expenses! And the worst thing is that the only discussions we hear, are about who should pay, how they should pay, and how we can borrow so that our children and grandchildren can pay these bloated prices and the resulting interest charges for money we have to borrow, because the bloated prices are outright unaffordable. Need I say, this is bankrupting the Commonwealth, and it must stop!
Bring out the cost estimators in hearings viewable by the people, with recordings of the hearings available to the people, detailing the costs line item by line item, with justification for each one. There is too much evidence that our Commonwealth has been grossly abused, and that abuse must stop! Open the doors and windows, and let the light of day shine upon the costs and estimates that are at the heart of the problems we face. You owe it to the People of this Commonwealth to do no less.

Einstein/Montefiore residents enjoy a quality of life that's hard to find in many urban areas: comfortable, affordable housing in an area rich with recreation and entertainment.
Montefiore Medical Center's Bronx location is easily accessible by train from Manhattan, and by car from Westchester. About sixty percent of residents live in Montefiore housing in the Bronx, thirty percent in Manhattan, and the remainder in Westchester and other areas. For residents who choose to live in the Bronx, Montefiore Medical Center offers several affordable and convenient housing options.
Montefiore I
3411 Wayne Avenue
Bronx, NY 10467
Montefiore I ("Monte I") is a twelve-story mixed use property adjacent to the hospital.
Rental rates
Montefiore II
3450 Wayne Avenue
Bronx, NY 10467
Montefiore II ("Monte II") is a 28-story high rise located directly across the street from Montefiore I, and is conveniently located to all campuses.
Riverdale3636 Waldo Avenue
Bronx, NY 10463
Montefiore's Waldo Avenue building is situated in the Bronx's historic Riverdale district, approximately seven minutes by car from the Moses campus.
Housestaff are eligible for membership in the Falk Recreation Center, a complete fitness center adjacent to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Open every day (except for Saturdays in June, July, and August), the Falk Center offers a full range of sports and exercise activities, from intramural team competition to yoga and aerobics classes. The Center's early morning and late evening hours make it especially convenient for house officers from both campuses.
The Bronx is home to some of the nation's most authentic, inexpensive international dining. Just a few of the options include:
Check out:
Bronx Hospitality, Unnoticed by the Tourist Guides (NY Times)
Hidden Gems in the Bronx (Chowhound)
Dominick's Restaurant in the Bronx (NY Magazine)
Bronx Restaurants (Urban Spoon)
Dining, Shopping, and Places to Go in the Bronx (yelp)
The years of house staff training are among the most exciting and challenging of a physician's career. Residency is a time of rapid learning and rigorous study, a time for forming lifelong friendships and laying permanent foundations for professional growth.
Most of this transformative experience takes place in the hospital, during teaching rounds and at the bedside, and in the ambulatory clinics, under the tutelage of senior residents, faculty, and attending physicians. The hospital, though, is always part of the broader community--in Einstein's case, the Bronx.
In addition to providing the Montefiore hospitals with a diverse patient population, the Bronx community is home to some of New York City's most comfortable neighborhoods and prized scenic attractions. Minutes away from midtown Manhattan, the Bronx is less frenetic and offers endless ways to relax and enjoy yourself. Check out some of our local attractions.

"Romantic Crystal Heart"
By Bob Kaye
Comments: I saw the 50th anniversary crystal heart and loved it, however I was looking for an anniversary gift. I called and asked if they can help me find something similar and thankfully they said there was one without the anniversary design. I received it last week and would like to say how amazing it looks! Thank you!

An elegance of dynamics drives the design of the new BMW Welt – a stunning solar-powered shrine to German auto engineering. Crafted by world renowned architect Wolf Prix of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU, this sculptural, high-performance structure opened in October to serve as BMW's center for refinement of brand experience and vehicle delivery in Munich.
The architecture is an experiment in fluid spatial encounters. Outside, BMW Welt's steel and glass façade whirls seamlessly into the Double Cone – a dynamic 48 meter wide helical feature that provides structural support to the building's floating "Cloud Roof." Across the 16,500 m2 (177,500 ft2) expanse of roof BMW has installed an impressive flat roof-integrated PV system made up of 3,660 solar modules. Manufactured by SOLARWATT and installed by SunStrom the array delivers a minimum power capacity of 824kWp (kilowatt-peak).
A network of high-grade steel panels between solar modules on the roof captures solar gain which is distributed throughout the building for heating. The building also nets solar energy through the façade which works to moderate conditioned air and provide natural ventilation. Thermally efficient surfaces inside help to maintain constant thermal comfort and control temperature swings. Vegetation near ventilation elements helps cool incoming air in warmer months and filters dust particles year round.
The facility includes the premium lounge for new car owners, a public gallery, conference suite and children's center. The Double Cone will act as a media dome for exhibitions and events accommodating up to 450 people. BMW anticipates over 800,000 visitors per year.
Total digs cover 73,000 m2 (about 785,000 ft2) with 60% of the gross floor area underground. The projected energy reduction from the solar photovoltaic and integrated design systems is 30%.

hehe PS. I'm told not to use the word 'landscaping' infruiates landscape architects apparently!
February 27, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I stumbled upon this building when visiting the Munich Olympics park which is just next door to it. Its the first thing you see as you come out of the S-Bahn stop (Underground/Metro/Subway/Train link whatever you Americans call it! (I'm a 'Brit')) Its very impressive, they were landscaping still when i was there at the end of September (We were promtly hurried along by a big German when i stopped to take photos!)
I hope that we can do a similarly good job for 2012…

This is an exceptional piece of engineering as well as a stunning sight to behold just from looking at the photo's.

starting a buisness
Good Luck- I'm not sure you can start a business on your own iffin' yer under 18-
Not trying to discourage you- but something to check out.
You'll need:
Business License
Insurance- which I imagine for a 16 yr old will be **** near impossible-
at 16, might want to try and get in with a shop to see how a business runs and
plan an exit strategy, say 2 years saving up start up cash for when you want to
step out on your own 100%
Unfortunately, starting a business is not cheap.Ed Conley

Take some business classes. The world is full of good techs who can't make a profit because they lack background.
Work for someone else for awhile & learn everything you can about the work & the business end. Start writing a business plan now & adjust/change it as you learn more. Don't burn any bridges on the way out.MM250

Where do you live? In the USA it's illegal to have anyone under 18 working with power tools in a commercial environment.
I can't imagine owning a business without several years real world experience in the particular field. That would be a death blow from the get go in my opinion.
JTSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
Can Do Attitude...
I would think that if you started gradually and carefully you could do it fairly low key.. just make sure you have the competence to do the jobs you take in....
I have a real problem with the regulatory mess that we have put ourselves in where you need a license, health certificate, and an environmental impact statement to open a lemonade stand... What ever happened to initiative and free enterprise???
We hear why we can't do things... no wonder this country is sliding downhill... that is a garbage attitude... this country was not built on negativity and over regulation... It was built on skill, ambition and sweat....
I applaud your goals... as far as a minor with power tools goes what in the Blue Blazes do they call the kid with a lawnmower that earns money by mowing lawns???
Think we need to start doing things again rather than coming up with excuses for why we can't.... or we truly will be the slaves of the regulators and naysayers... Remember.. our government works for us not the other way around!!!!
Keep your eye on the prize... I congratulate you for having a clear idea of what you want to do and the focus to earn and buy the tools to go there... you will go far..... The winners in life are the ones that figure out how to get stuff done...
not the ones that make excuses for why it can't!!!!!!.
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

That's not a commercial environment. You aren't an employee of the school.
I don't make up the rules, the federal dept of labor does.
As far as the lawn mower goes, I don't have a landscaping business so I don't have any idea but I do know that I can't have a minor work with power tools, in an excavation plus a lot of other restrictions. Anybody can look em up at the dept of labor site.
