"There are many times while I am out in the field that I really feel the need to talk to you," 27-year-old 1st Lt. Dean Allen wrote to his wife, Joyce, from Vietnam on July 10, 1967. "Not so much about us but what I have on my mind." At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Allen cut an imposing figure, but under his tough exterior was a compassionate, thoughtful officer who genuinely cared for his men. "Being a good platoon leader is a lonely job," he wrote.
Allen continued the letter the next day:
It got so dark I had to stop last night. …
Writing like that doesn't really do that much good because you aren't here to answer me or discuss something. I guess it helps a little though because you are the only one I would say these things to. Maybe sometime I'll even try to tell you how scared I have been or am now. … Sometimes I really wonder how I'll make it. My luck is running way to good right now. I just hope it lasts.
Don't worry about what I have said, these are just things I think about sometimes. I am so healthy I can't get a day out of the field and you know I'm to damn mean to die. …
Sorry I haven't written more but the weather is against me. You can't write out here when it rains hour after hour.
I love you with all my heart.
All my love always, Dean
Four days later, Allen stepped on a land mine. He became one of the more than 58,000 Americans who died in Vietnam.

Since the early days of the Revolutionary War, American soldiers have been writing letters that shared their fears, hopes for the future, and love with those who waited anxiously behind.
"This is the first chance I have had to write you. I am, by the cause of Providence, in the field in defence of my country," James Williams began a letter to his son, Daniel, on June 12, 1779. Williams went on to express how deeply he missed his eight children and their mother, "who sits like a dove that has lost its mate, having the weight of the family on her shoulders." He described the accidental death of a fellow soldier, then concluded, "uncertainty of life ought to induce every man to prepare for death."
Williams died at the Battle of Kings Mountain in South Carolina. His letter is among the earliest of those preserved in which American soldiers confront the possibility that they are communicating with loved ones for the last time. Sadly, those last letters home would continue to document the tragic legacy of war, through Iraq and Afghanistan.
From Bunker Hill to Fallujah, Americans have written hundreds of millions of war letters. Their words form the pages of our national autobiography, offering eyewitness accounts of major battles from Lexington and Antietam to Normandy, the Chosin Reservoir, Khe Sanh and Kandahar.
On a more personal level, these correspondences provide a tangible connection to the past and humanize our men and women in uniform, capturing their distinct personalities, experiences and aspirations. Through their words, we see them as more than just soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors. They are a parent, a sibling, a child, a spouse, a fiancé or a best friend. Ultimately, these letters, which are reproduced without spelling or other corrections, ensure that we never forget the sacrifices made for the nation. Here are some of the last thoughts from those who died in action, as only they could express them.

Seb Vettel has done what no other driver has done, winning nine races in a row in one season, but he is refusing to be compared to previous greats...
Sebastian Vettel has done what no other F1 driver has done before, winning nine consecutive races, but he is refusing to be compared to previous greats.
His victory at Interlagos means he is now the only driver in history to have won nine in a row in the same season, putting him ahead of Alberto Ascari, who won nine consecutive races over two seasons.
Despite his achievement, the Red Bull driver believes it is not right to draw comparisons, and instead heaped praise on his Red Bull team for helping him to fourth World Championship in a row.
"I think it's not fair [to compare]. It's a different time at his time, cars broke down a lot more, teams weren't as consistent. I think it's a different type of record," he said.
"For all of us in the whole team, we just love turning up to work and giving it all we have. It's a great spirit we have in the team. It's sad in a way that this year comes to an end, but that's how it is. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the break to recover."
Vettel started in pole position, but unlike in previous races he was forced to work harder after the first corner as Nico Rosberg claimed P1 after the lights went out.
He took just a couple of laps to regain first place from the Mercedes driver and was untroubled after that, even a slight hiccup by his Red Bull crew during his final pit stop couldn't prevent him from sweeping to victory.
He ended up finishing nearly 11s ahead of team-mate Mark Webber to claim his 13th win of the season, which also equalled Michael Schumacher's record set in 2004.
"I am actually quite sad the season is coming to an end. The car has been phenomenal and has been getting better in every race," he said.
"It was very difficult at the end today with the rain but I am extremely proud and a big thanks to the team and a big thanks to Renault as well."
Sunday's Brazilian GP marked Webber's final race in Formula One and Vettel paid tribute to the Australian.
"Thanks to Mark, we didn't have the best of relationships but we have also have always had a lot of respect for each other and we have been a very successful pairing for the team."

There's a very different kind of instrument being crafted and tweaked in Music City — one without a string, piano key or drum to speak of. It's the Beat Thang, a hip-hop-tailored rhythm machine and synthesizer created by the Beat Kangz, a group of local musicians with a pedigree in musical gear and a passion for hip-hop culture.
When it goes on sale next month, it'll give the group — and Nashville's music scene — a chance to become a much bigger blip on hip-hop's radar.
"We built what's hopefully going to be the baddest beat machine ever," says Beat Kangz president Aja "A.J.A." Emmanuel.
Emmanuel and Beat Kangz partners Luke "Boom Bap" Jackson and Reavis "Rev" Mitchell believe that there's serious demand for a hip-hop-dedicated instrument like the Beat Thang. As a former product specialist for Samson Audio, Emmanuel says he witnessed that demand firsthand.

Last year, we all saw Bush running wild or at least very well. To the left, he was Lethal going behind Long a and Cog, who were giving a great push, some space, and sometimes wiping out that side of defenders.
This year is day and night. The new zone blocking scheme has Long and Cog moving sideways on many a play, and Reggie waiting for an opening to dart through. That's what zone blocking is supposed to do, and Bush shoulda been a perfect fit.
However, the left side of the OL is having a hell of a time in adapting, and does not belong in a WCO. IF you tell Jake & Cog to just go out and move people out of the way, I believe they will (as proven) but, that's not what they are being asked to do.
I have a problem in faulting Bush's dancing when the stars in front of him have been asked to slide to the side in place of knocking someone into into the secondary, which they both did quite well last year.

This crab salad with lemongrass and mint pays homage to Thailand, where the blue crab is caught and canned. It showcases the beautiful white jumbo lump crab meat.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Fish, Seafood & Caviar
Miller's Select Premium Crab Meat
Jumbo Lump, Lump, White & Claw Meat From The Blue Crab
Whether you are on a quest for the perfect crab cake or your diet enables you to luxuriate with crab cocktails, it stands to reason that the quality of your experience is based on the quality of the crab meat. Crab meat is not an inexpensive ingredient to "experiment" with, and most stores generally carry just one brand. You'd assume that your fishmonger or specialty food store carries the best—but after years of trying brand after brand, I found that bad assumption.
One day, after a particularly memorable crab cake at Tavern On The Green restaurant in New York City, I was so impressed by the quality of crab used in their cakes that I determined to learn more about processed crab meat in the hope I could duplicate, in my own kitchen, Chef Brian Young's simple and yet simply divine recipe (below).
The hunt begins! I sampled products from six different purveyors, but stopped dead in my tracks when I tasted the crab meat from Sea Fare Foods' Miller's Select brand. Here were the most delicious, fresh-tasting, solid chunks of crabs I ever tasted and…they came out of a can.* While Miller's Select claims to be the premium wild-catch blue clawed crab meat available in the marketplace, and we must concur, at least based on our sampling.
*Editor's Note: Most crab meat is canned used in recipes is canned. Picking the meat from the shells is extremely labor-intensive, and most kitchens don't have the staff to do the work. In addition, high-quality canned crab meat provides the opportunity to use crab meat from species that are not available locally.
Bill Miller, an engineer by training, left his home in Kansas City in 1964 to work on construction projects in Thailand. He fell in love with the land, its people, and the abundant blue clawed swimming crab that is renowned for its delicious meat. He brought it back to the U.S., where friends, naturally, asked for more. Voilà: Miller's Select was born.
The two key components in top-quality picked crab meat are absolute freshness of the harvested crabs and meticulous attention to picking, so the crab meat remains in the largest possible pieces and with the fewest possible pieces of shell. Toward this end, the finest picked crab has traditionally been a perishable, refrigerated product. Although pasteurized domestic and imported crab meat of adequate quality is commonly available, it is rare to find gourmet-quality crab meat in a shelf-stable can (a non-perishable product that does not require refrigeration). In this regard, shelf-stable Miller's Select is in a class of its own.
Take a look at the different grades of crab meat: Jumbo Lump, Lump (Backfin), White and Claw, and how you should use each grade.
Jumbo lump crab meat makes a beautiful
presentation in cocktails and crab cakes.
In order to distribute this delicate product safely and with its sweet, succulent flavors intact, Bill Miller put all of his engineering skill into devising optimal harvesting, processing, packaging and shipping methods. An environmentalist, he insisted on developing techniques consistent with sound ecological and sustainable farming procedures—before being "green" was fashionable.

Mozart's ultimate bad boy meets his match in Anna Netrebko, the opera world's "hottest female star." Don Giovanni stars Peter Mattei as the philandering Don, with Bryn Terfel as his sidekick Leporello, and the velvety voiced Ms. Netrebko as the much-abused Donna Anna. This audience favorite, for both its surprisingly modern plot and soaring melodies, is broadcast from opening night at La Scala, with Daniel Barenboim at the podium.

The thought of 9-to-5 dressing often stirs up images of mellow, business-appropriate attire — blazers, pencil skirts, button-ups, etc. And while we get that with every gig comes a different set of sartorial requirements, we don't think outfitting for work needs to be a total yawnfest.
So, we've tapped two ladies who know a thing about smart, on-the-job styling to prove this point. The Hayes Valley powerhouse duo of Catherine Chow and Corina Nurimba own not one, not two …but three of S.F.'s top shopping haunts and are beyond well-versed in stellar work style. We trailed them around their three boutiques (Azalea, Rand + Statler, and Welcome Stranger) to catch them in action and peep the cool and versatile wares they're sporting Monday through Friday. Peep their guide to totally working it, right here.

I absolutely LOOOOOVE it! LOVE! I've started at the color a million times and always wanted to do it! Go you for being brave enough to try because you look stunning! Xo LoriReplyDelete
Oh wow, it looks so natural on you! I love it :) xxReplyDelete
Your hair looks marvelous, love that shade, beautiful :)) xReplyDelete
Ooooh! Loving the red!ReplyDelete
Ive tried all sorts of shades of red! I love the brand you used but I usually use the cheaper brands since my hair reacts the same to most of them anyways ( I'm a natural redhead) so it takes well.
Did you notice that the box you used actually lightened your hair? Ive been wondering about it because I am dying to go light for summer!!
Ohh lala! It looks wonderful!! No, I do not colour my own hair...I used to, but I've inherited a sister-in-law that's a hair stylist (aka super cheap colours and free cuts!). It's extremely convenient heheh ;) xx -b.ReplyDelete
love it! turned out so well! i am blonde and also color my own hair - usually turns out even better than at a salon paying 130!ReplyDelete
well I don't colour my hair, or at least I#ve not been planning to but I'm always interested when people do ;)ReplyDelete
The colour looks incredible on you, it doesn't look coloured at all!
xoxo Jen
Great resultReplyDelete
awwww, looks great! :)ReplyDelete
i use nice n'easy's natural light auburn. i've been dying it this color for yearrrs.
Looks amazing! Great job!ReplyDelete
Your hair looks totally gorgeous. I'm a faux redhead too. I used the Perfect 10 Cinnamon Red Hot (I think?) for a long time but I finally started getting it done at a salon because it seems to take better and stick around longer. : ) The red really suits you! Thanks so much for commenting over on my blog, glad to have found yours too!ReplyDelete
i love it! just now following so i'm just seeing the transformation...but it's lovely!ReplyDelete
Pretty hairstyle:-) I like the colour:-)ReplyDelete
Gorgeous lady! Red really suits you :]ReplyDelete
I use loreal excellence hicolor - red fire. I really like it because I had gone from black hair, to dark brown, and really needed to lift the color out at first. Now it just helps keep it bright and vibrant.
I don't have to dye it, haha. My redhair is all natural ^^ Didn't like it as a kid, LOVE it now! I also love your faux red hair ^^ this shade really suits you! xReplyDelete
as a hairstylist i would say that you should never buy box color, but i LOVE this color on you. its gorgeous..ReplyDelete
OMG, WE ARE HAIR TWINS!ReplyDelete
love, love, LOVE
Okay, this looks really natural on you!ReplyDelete
I really wish I'd been born a redhead. It's my favorite color on myself. I'm a brunette and I get so easily bored being a brunette. I dye my own hair too since it's cheaper and since I just choose to change it up so randomly, so often. I forget the names of the boxes I pick up but it's honestly whatever is cheapest. :) Nothing crazy.
I have home dyed my hair red many a time, I love it, this colour is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
New follower, I love your blog its cute :)

03 July 2012
Posted in NatureWorks
On June 24 the world lost a superstar and an icon; at least within the wildlife conservation community. It was not a movie star, rock star or a reality TV personality… his name was George, "Lonesome George", and he was the last Pinta Island tortoise on Earth. Pinta Island is the northernmost island within the Galapagos Archipelago.
The islands are of course famous for Darwin, finches, strange iguanas, and of course, giant tortoises. The Galapagos Islands are situated about 620 miles off the coast of Ecuador and until fairly recent times were some of the most remote and desolate islands in the world. The islands are millions of years old and volcanic in origin and all native species arrived on the islands soon after their volcanic beginnings pierced the ocean surface. Animals and plants must have arrived by sea or air. The reptile fauna of the islands have ancestors on the mainland South American continent and traveled via either direct floating in ocean currents or on natural rafts of trees or vegetation. Reptiles are well adapted to surviving weeks at sea without access to fresh water or food. In fact, the only two non-marine mammal species native to the islands are two bat and two rice rat species.
The animal fauna evolved for millennia in the absence of humans and most species still show no natural fear of people. The islands were discovered on March 10, 1535 by a Dominican friar named Thomás de Berlanga. This discovery forever changed the islands. By the 1790's British and American whaling ships had reached the Galapagos. The giant tortoises proved to be a welcomed source of fresh meat. The tortoises proximity to the coast and their slow movements made them particularly easy to capture. Tortoises could be stored upside down on the ships for months at a time without food or water and tens of thousands were captured yearly.
The total population of tortoises is estimated to have been around 250,000 individuals pre-whalers and today the population hovers around 20,000.
Back to Lonesome George; the Pinta Island tortoise is a subspecies, Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni, one of 11 found throughout the Island chain. Decades of harvest took its toll and the Pinta Island tortoise was thought to be extinct by the mid-1800's. However, on December 1, 1971 a snail researcher, József Vágvölgyi, stumbled across George and took a photo of him. József was not aware of the significance of his find until March 1972. My good friend and mentor, Dr. Peter Pritchard was visiting József and his wife one evening when the conversation steered towards tortoise shell shape. Dr. Pritchard was explaining the two types of shapes found in the Galapagos, domed and saddleback, when József stated the tortoise he recently saw on Pinta did not seem saddlebacked. Peter could not believe what he just heard until József showed him the photo… proof that the Pinta Island tortoise still existed!
Around this same time a boat full of researchers and game wardens was heading for Pinta on a mission to cull exotic goats from the island and potentially to find the mysterious tortoise. Dr. Pritchard was also traveling to Pinta to scout out possible sea turtle nesting beaches. The hunters located the tortoise and carried him to the beach where he was tethered to a cactus for transport off the island the next day. Dr. Pritchard arrived in time to photograph and film George in his native land before helping to load him up for travel to the Charles Darwin Research Station on the Santa Cruz Island.
Lonesome George was estimated to be about 70 years of age… not particularly old for a Galapagos tortoise. He spent the next 40 years of his life as an icon of conservation and the living, breathing evidence of past evils perpetrated in the Islands. In the last decade or so of his life attempts were made to breed him with females of a closely related subspecies in order to keep the genetics of his race alive. During this time he was mostly disinterested in mating and only one clutch of 13 infertile eggs was ever produced. Sadly, at 8:00 a.m. on June 24, 2012, Lonesome George was found dead by his long-time keeper of 40 years, Fausto Llerena. His death was by natural causes at the age of approximately 100.
"Whatever happens to this single animal, let him always remind us that the fate of all living things on Earth is in human hands."
— These words are inscribed on the information panel outside the enclosure of Lonesome George at CDRS/GNP.
What you probably do not know is that I am a turtle biologist by trade. I began my career path at the age of 10 when I caught my first snake. It wasn't until the age of 15 that I switched my passion to turtles. I was visiting a reptile dealer in South Florida and upon being shown a large specimen of the mata mata turtle I was hooked. I am now 40 years old and there is not a day goes by that turtles and tortoises are not part of my life. I did not hear about Lonesome George's death until the evening of the June 25 when I arrived home from work and settled in to catching up with emails. I opened up a reptile news forum and saw the headline…"Galapagos tortoise Lonesome George dies". My jaw hit the floor and I let out a deflated and drawn out "ohhh nooo". My wife worriedly asked what was wrong and I tried telling her with this depressing wave of emotion flowing through me. I cried for a scaly, hard-shelled, cold-blooded reptile; and one I had never even seen in life. It will sound silly to some, a grown man crying over a tortoise, but I can assure you that hundreds of other turtle men and women were doing the same thing at the same time. The news quickly blew up in the conservation community and stories and tributes abounded in forums, emails and on Facebook.
This was an animal that provided inspiration for my efforts to study turtles. At one point in the 1990's I contemplated employment in the Galapagos. I was fortunate enough to work with Dr. Pritchard at his Chelonian Research Institute in Oviedo, Florida. For three years I was surrounded by photos, videos, books and most importantly, stories with Lonesome George as the subject. Dr. Pritchard's 8mm film of George's removal from Pinta was even featured in a documentary by the BBC in 2009 entitled, Lonesome George and the Battle for the Galapagos. Dr. Pritchard also led an expedition in October 2003 to survey the Island of Pinta for any remaining tortoises. This survey resulted in the discovery of bones of 16 individual tortoises; some which perhaps alive on the island after Lonesome George was removed. Interestingly all but one was male (one set of bones was from an immature, possibly female specimen). These survey results and discussion on the decline and extinction of the Pinta Island tortoise can be found in the publication The Pinta tortoise: Globalization and the Extinction of Island Species.
Globally, turtle and tortoise species are the most endangered vertebrate group. Roughly 65% of the approximate 300 species are classified as either threatened or endangered by the IUCN. I am grateful to have experienced this tortoise through Peter's photos, videos and stories. Unfortunately, I now have to remove the thought of meeting this tortoise from my life list and the Earth must remove another species from its lands. The world has lost an icon of imperiled species and extinction has taken its toll. My hope is that his death will provide as much inspiration for species conservation as his life did.

HomeAgriculture & FoodAlternative FuelsInspection & Cargo Management Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI)Pre-Shipment Inspection - Philippines
This scheme aims to ensure the quality and quantity specifications of consignments. This is achieved through advance cargo clearance and supplying the country's Bureau of Customs with accurate information about the quality and specification of bulk and break bulk cargo.
In practice we issue commercial survey reports, known as load port survey reports (LPS), for all bulk and break bulk cargoes. These reports are sent directly to the Bureau of Customs in a secure electronic format and importers will then be allowed to file entries and pay any Customs duty and tax prior to the cargo's arrival. Only an LPS issued by an accredited cargo surveyor will be accepted by the Bureau of Customs.
We are a world leader in pre-shipment inspection, with in excess of 40 year's experience. More than 40 countries have adopted our programs to protect government finances and/or facilitate trade. With an innovative approach and the latest technologies our PSI services are highly cost effective and deliver greater benefits than ever before.

Title: Unfeasible Voyage - part 2
Date: January 9, 2007
Summary: Just as the last nasal hygiene-based superheroes give up for good, Steve's actions quickly make them regret their career change.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Box-of-Tissues-Man, Hanky Boy, Cold Virus, Civilians
Onomatopoeias used: "ZUMM!", "TOSS", "GLUK", "GULP!", "FLIP!", "STRAIN!", "TURN", "DRIP!", "SPLORSH!", "SPLOO!", "FLEE", "DOOK"
Number of panels: 14
Panel 1
[Meanwhile, in a secret underground location...]
A washed-out superhero drinks depressedly as his sidekick tries to cheer him up.
Hanky Boy: "Come on Box-of-Tissues-Man! You can't give up!"
Box-of-Tissues-Man: "It's no good Hanky Boy, we have to face facts: This city doesn't need any nasal hygiene-based super heroes."
Panel 2
Hanky Boy: "But what about that coffee spill we..."
Box-of-Tissues-Man: (taking off his mask) "Damnit, that's not what I built the Tissue-Cave for! The flimsy forces of good have wiped the nose of evil for the last time..."
Box-of-Tissues-Man: "Now it's time to throw away the soggy Kleenex of Justice ... forever."
Panel 3
[Back at the home of Beaver and Steve ...]
The gigantic Beaver is standing with his right foot still in their partially demolished house.
Beaver: "Do all your plans have to involve massive property damage Steve?"
Steve: (ZUMM!ing up to Beaver in his flying submarine thing) "Look, do you want to be cured or not?"
Beaver: "Are you sure you know how to do this?"
Panel 4
Close-up of Beaver's eye with Steve's ship floating near it.
Steve: "Of course! Look, I have anatomy books and everything! I just have to navigate to your swim bladder and..."
Beaver: "Steve, that is a book of fish anatomy. I am a beaver."
Steve: "For someone so large you're awfully picky. But don't worry I'm sure one of these books must be about cobras ..."
Beaver: "Beavers!"
Steve: "Yes, yes, whatever. Now initiate insertion procedure!"
Panel 5
Beaver: "Oh well..."
Beaver TOSSes the ship in his mouth.
Panel 6
Beaver GLUKs some water and swallows the ship with a GULP!
Panel 7
[Inside ...]
Steve floats inside Beaver with his ship while reading a book about Beaver anatomy upside-down.
Steve: "This is worse than I thought - all of Beaver's organs are upside-down!"
Steve: "I'd better ask for directions ..."
Panel 8
Steve stops at a large pipe with a "SNOT" sign on it. A suspicious masked character is STRAIN!ing to turn open a valve on the pipe. Steve FLIP!s open his ship's cockpit.
Steve: "Hey, have you seen any cold viruses around here?"
Cold Virus: "What? W-Who, me? I, uh..."
Steve: "Wait ... what are you doing with that valve? ..."
Panel 9
Steve: (TURN!ing the valve himself now) "You're doing it all wrong! Let me do it!"
Panel 10
Snot starts quickly DRIP!ping from Beaver's nose.
Beaver: "Snft! Ew!"
Panel 11
[And down below...]
Beaver's snot keeps SPLORSH!ing to the ground, causing terror and panic among the civilians.
Civilian 1: "Run for your lives! It's a snot storm!"
Civilian 2: "The salty tide of doom is upon us!"
Panel 12
The duo formerly known as Hanky Boy and Box-of-Tissues-Man arrive at the scene with new names and superpowers.
Box-of-Non-Absorbent-Disposable-Gloves-Man: "Never fear citizens, for a new hero has arisen to answer your cries for help!"
Box-of-Non-Absorbent-Disposable-Gloves-Man: "I, Box-of-Non-Absorbent-Disposable-Gloves-Man, will save the day!"
Panel 13
More snot SPLOO!s to the ground as civilians FLEE from it.
Civilian: "Oh! Who will save us from this deluge of nasal mucus?"
Box-of-Non-Absorbent-Disposable-Gloves-Man: "I... Uh..."
Panel 14
Box-of-Non-Absorbent-Disposable-Gloves-Man is drinking again with the snot storm going on behind him.
[To be contd.]
Fun Facts
- Hanky Boy's new name is not mentioned, although judging by the shirt, it probably starts with an R.
- Due to intense wrist pain, James was unable to finish colouring this comic. A coloured version created by a fan, El-Barto, was used to replace the official version in the meantime.
- Curiously, Beaver didn't have a hard time to find a giant glass and fill it with water to get Steve inside.

The city of Alicante is the capital of its own province and it is also the second most important city in the Valencia district of Spain. The city on the famous Costa Blanca has recently transformed itself from a rundown old town into a stylish city, with its new harbour complex, clean beaches, outstanding museums, exceptional shops and buzzing nightlife.
Alicante appeals to many travellers who wish to take a break from their busy lifestyles in order to visit this sunny, easy going, sea port city. Tourists can not only relax along the stunning beaches but also discover the great historical monuments the city has to offer.
Although Alicante has reinvented itself into a modern city with endless entertainment, it has not lost its Spanish roots. With its warm and friendly inhabitants, its traditional festivities lighting up the city all year round, and its fresh sea-food paella dish straight out of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alicante has the right balance for everyone.
The most popular tourist town on the Costa Blanca is Benidorm, offering a wide range of facilities and entertainment to holidaymakers. In addition, there are also many other tourist towns which are really worth visiting, such as San Juan, Dénia, Altea, Calpe, Xàbia and Torrevieja - all easily accessible by public transport from Alicante.

HB 1782 Tabled
House Bill 1782 was considered by the Louisiana House of Representatives on April 30. After 15 minutes of discussion on the House floor, the bill was tabled by a vote of 57 to 34, making any further action in this session very unlikely.
Potential anti-evolution legislation in Louisiana
The Louisiana House of Representatives is considering a bill, HB 1782, that "prohibits any branch, department, agency, official, employee, or other entity of state government or of any political subdivision from knowingly printing or distributing material that contains information that is false or fraudulent."
More on Blount County, Tennessee
On April 3, the Blount County Board of Education voted not to adopt three high school biology textbooks because they do not present creationism alongside evolution, according to The Daily Times. The vote to reject the textbooks was 6-1 (contrary to the The Daily Times's previous report that the vote was 2-1 with 4 abstentions). Since the vote, board members have reportedly been inundated with letters and e-mails regarding the vote.
Justice Department Drops Inquiry of Biology Professor
The Justice Department on April 22 announced that it was closing its inquiry into complaints of religious discrimination by Texas Tech student Micah Spradling against biology professor Michael Dini. See the Justice Department's press release for details.
Hawking is Steve #300
Project Steve continues apace, with the 305th Steve coming on board today. Like their predecessors, the 85 Steves to join since the initial announcement of Project Steve are a distinguished group whose public support for evolution education we are honored to be able to announce. The 300th signatory to NCSE's Project Steve shares a unique distinction with Stephen Jay Gould: that of appearing on The Simpsons. I refer, of course, to Steve #300, the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, Stephen W. Hawking.

Teaching and research assistantships have helped Jency Sundararajan stay at the leading edge of one of the world's most amazing fields of study: nanotechnology. The uses of this emerging science pervade every aspect of modern life – from the manufacture of sunscreen and golf clubs to growing synthetic bone for prosthetics to liquefying coal and turning it into gas, thus revolutionizing the way energy systems function.
The Department of Physics at University of Idaho's College of Science is one of the premier departments in nanotechnology research, which is precisely why Sundararajan chose to pursue her Ph.D. at U-Idaho.
Sundararajan arrived in Moscow in 2006 to join her husband – also a graduate student at that time – and has concentrated her research on nanofabrication, nanophotonics, nanoplasmonics and the electrical and opto-electrical characteristics of nanostructures. A native of the state of Tamil Nadu in India, she had previously been a physics lecturer at Holy Cross College in her home town of Trichy. As a woman with a science career, Sundararajan is a role model to her students.
"Whenever I talk with my friends, I feel glad about being an example and encouragement to continue higher education in science," she said. "And I could not have imagined the last six years without financial assistance.
"Financial assistance is important for an international student such as myself to pursue higher studies in the U.S.," she said. "It helps pay the tuition and fees, room and board, books and other supplies to live and study here."
"During my pregnancy, I was advised not to work in the lab due to safety concerns until two months after my delivery," she said. "I maintained my full-student status and full financial assistance by teaching undergraduates.
"The assistantship money is a great help and motivating factor to further my research and overcome the economic hardships," she said. "It gave me the chance to achieve my goals in every stage of my degree – and here I am very close to the successful completion of the degree. I couldn't have gotten to this stage with the financial assistantship. I am highly indebted to the University of Idaho and the Department of Physics."

0. phoneArena 28 Feb 2013, 02:31 posted on
There weren't much dark corners at the MWC expo, but the HTC booth had one, where you could check out the low-light capabilities of the newest One handset with the UltraPixel camera...

yet again no 808..
5. tusshharish (Posts: 342; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
nokia is best......htc one's images are too much bright and not so clear but nokia's images are descent and very clear/..............
49. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
one`s pic is bright and more detail can Be seen ..lumia is good but brightness is very less..
i pick up one.
59. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
By detail you mean extreme noise without zooming, blown out colors and muddy edges? sure.
60. samsung_royally (banned) (Posts: 8; Member since: 27 Feb 2013)
Yeah very convincing video from the site called MYNOKIABLOG!!!
Nice try Nokia Fans!!
62. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
What a pathetic argument. You are implying that the guy somehow managed to doctor the pics in nokia's favor even though the pics were snapped on camera and shown on camera for you eyes to see.
Shameful attempt to help htc save their face after all their ultrapixel marketing hype. BTW here is a link to android australia (android fan site) where even the blogger agreed the 920 won.
There was even that neowin comparison.
64. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
You guys are just pathetic. Can't even see the reality when its shown. Android's realty distortion anyone?
88. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
+++well done..
in other case camera isnt all expect that we need from a super phone..
in that case we see compare btw nokia lumia 920 and one camera but in overall and the other spc compare htc one wipe out 920 easily like smoke..
sound-screen-size-software-hardware and so so..
lumia`s camera is great no doubt but it hasnt more amazing option like one..
95. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
and what amazing options htc one has??
cpu..nothing new
1080 screen...standard
i don't see any revelation or anything new what hasn't been introduced yet
98. papss (unregistered)
oh you have a HTC one? so you must know..
66. dr_fajardo12 (Posts: 108; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
i think that vs the lumia 920 htc had the iso or the saturation high, thats why it's so bright. against the 720 was fair. still nokia the best
9. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
and who cares? It's running symbian for crap's sake, that camera could seek out the most beautiful woman in the world and show me whats under her unmentionables and I STILL wouldn't buy one over an HTC One...or a Lumia 920 for that matter.
That phone is irrelevant regardless of how good the camera is.
46. brucewayne (Posts: 29; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
And why do you think ppl would car what YOU buy..dont think of yourself as the go-to guy before anyone wants to buy a cell..And obviously you'd be happy and GAY cos any girl who shows her unmentionables and is beatiful will do warrant a second look..
78. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Oh yeah sure it's just what I think right? Enlighten me then as to why Nokia had to ditch symbian. I gues I'm the only one who didn't like it. Yeah sounds like a legitimte argument you've got there.
And if you people think you actually get under my skin by using my own outlandish example against me and call into question my sexuality? You're not only sorely mistaken, but pretty lackluster at dealing out ad hominem attacks.as well. Real winner we got here!
54. weinerslav (Posts: 126; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
Well, thank God you don't care, by your pathetic example you're not looking for a good camera, not even a good smartphone, the solution to your problems is in the internet porn, google it, and leave tech stuff to others.
58. brucewayne (Posts: 29; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Bravo !
74. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
ROFL u need a couple of girlfriends which dont mind u going three ways
79. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
No I definitely am looking for a good smartphone, and I'm looking for it first and foremost. Which is exactly why I don't give a damn about the 808. What use is a good camera attached to an OS that has prettymuch DIED. Stop drinking the kool-aid, and get off the fanboy wagon.
My example is pathetic? I'll refer you to the last half of my reply to "brucewayne".
81. weinerslav (Posts: 126; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
Ta-da! If you're looking for a good smartphone why are you even criticizing the best camera phone? Yes, symbian right now is pretty much a feature phone with some cool games and essential apps but that doesn't mean that is not the best camera around, I can assure that it actually beats any camera up to entry level DSLRs. You clearly don't understand that some people need a good camera all the time, and people that does, don't care that for you a good smartphone is something where you can install 500.000 apps, respect if you want to be respected. Power is not about what you can do with it, is what you actually do.
106. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
You sort of answered your own question. I'm interested in good smartphones...not just good camera phones. I NEVER argued that the 808 wasn't the best camera phone, but that camera alone isn't enough to keep it from being irrelevant.
Agan with the personal attacks I see? You can E.A.D. as well. Yeah I understand that some people need a good camera one them at all times...BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE THE 808 A RELEVANT DEVICE! Do you get it yet? Yes it serves a purpose, yes it's good at that purpose, but that doesn't change anything. It's not the same type of device as the One or even the Lumia 920, stop fooling yourselves.
108. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
and by relevant I mean relevant in tday's market of flasgship smartphones
67. Bernoulli (limited) (Posts: 2586; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)
At least you can take a pix from distance with the 808 pureview, zoom in to her cleavage and crop it, bam lossless zoom at it's best
80. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
or you could get a real camera for that, and have a decent smartphone in your pocket!
83. Bernoulli (limited) (Posts: 2586; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)
The equivalent camera would be a Cannon, it's on gsmarena.com they did a full comparison with a cannon and Haha pureview beats it by half mile, so your pathetic statement is invalid, besides you'd be the only awkward looking folk setting up their camera with a huge lens
107. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
The more you refer to what I say as pathetic, the more I'm sure you're a chronic spanker. So whatever makes you happy cheif. And I love how you say that like that one Cannon is the only camera on the market...
Oh that'd be awkward? Setting up a camera and a lens? Well someone better tell those pro photographers that they all look so awkward then...
110. Bernoulli (limited) (Posts: 2586; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)
I have, I've gone to the extent of calling one a fag because his jeans were akwardly tight and he started to mess with me about my car, and go look onwww.gsmarena.com they also compared it to the Galaxy camera, but even online you can compare it with cameras that are 2k dollars that come barely in par with the 808 pureview, plus you wouldn't need to pull a tent to take a perfect picture if you were to use the 808 pureview
84. weinerslav (Posts: 126; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
Or since, for the sensor size, the 808 is one of the most compact cameras around, you can carry a tablet, with decent screen size...
109. Jimstar (Posts: 259; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
yup, and you've now got a good camera, a good(i'd hope) tablet...and a subpar smartphone.
94. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
we'll see htc's revenue and how irrelevant htc one is
32. zuckerboy (banned) (Posts: 898; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
yet again no brick ...
57. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4201; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Why even bother? No camera in a smartphone coming out within the next 1 or 2 years will get close to the 808 in terms of quality. Nokia will make a successor to the 808 before another smartphone even gets close to that quality. You know why? Because the 808 is a niche device that only appeals to the very, VERY small part of the market; and most people would rather buy a separate dedicated camera and another phone before buying the 808.
Sure, Nokia makes the best cameras, especially the 808. However, the 808 is nearly twice the thickness of the One (including the camera bump), and it runs an outdated OS.
The cons HEAVILY outweigh the pros on One vs. 808.
87. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
808 was defenetly a prototype most of its part it wasnt even given a marketing to sale it wide just showed on photo stunts so people can have idea about it and the mean reson was this research was going on for like 5 years on symbian so it was bad to drop the prototype
91. sbw44 (Posts: 425; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
HTC, Sony, Apple, Samsung are actually all trying to catch up to the N8 let alone 808 PV!
2. blahUNimpressed (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
OWNED!! htc one suks with all the noise. I bet the s4 will be just as bad and lets not use the "this is a prototype" BS
41. Retro-touch (Posts: 268; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
I learned that BS really BS after awhile too when pre-production and production really turned out the same, SGS2 was the exception before release and after in terms of performance
3. tiara6918 (Posts: 1945; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Htc has to improve the image quality on the one before they release it, otherwise no one will believe their ultrapixel technology
4. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
Ultrapixel is a joke
6. D.Aceveda (Posts: 390; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
I don't know why people are shocked or surprised. Ultrapixels are better for low light as you can see in the videos. However, MEGAPIXELS increase the pixels in an imagine giving more detail as you zoom
Looking at both images. The HTC One captures far more light and the image wasn't as dark but the moment you zoom in....it goes to hell.
11. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
Sorry mate
Without zoom in, the pic still sucks.
And the better low light you mentioned?
What's the point in having more light with really poor detail?
So basically Ultrapixel give us a light filter and the deterioration in the rest of camera quality?
12. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
correct it worked better took more light infact too much light to give the picture right + ultra high noise isnt good for a flagship since they stated ultrapixle will reduce the noise well that didnt went well in this pic they need to adjust it more
14. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
I'm not convinced the brighter result on the HTC was solely due to larger pixels and not aided by over processing, because the noise/artifacts are excessive. All have relatively larger aperatures for smartphones (i.e. HTC One w/2.0, Lumia 920 w/2.0, and Lumia 720 w/1.9). BSI sensor sizes are: HTC One (4MP)=1/3, Lumia 920 (8.7MP)=1/3, Lumia 720 (6.7MP)= 1/3.6. To note, the 920 has a patented OIS across the entire camera module while the HTC uses traditional OIS on one lens element.
True, larger native pixels help in photo 'capture' per unit time...but this alone does not guarantee improved low light performance.
Frankly, I was surprised by the 720 results. For its relatively small sensor, the 720 demonstrated that top notch optics, large aperature and solid processing can make a significant difference, even without OIS.
63. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
HTC definitely used some bad algorithms. it seems to be a habit of theirs. Even the one x had artifacting issues.
112. jsdechavez (Posts: 708; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
@shikroi, and I can't take these htc fans swearing they have the best cameras in smartphones.. omg. lol. sourgrapes much, perhaps?
7. PhoenixWright (Posts: 101; Member since: 11 Feb 2013)
They had a dark room so that it would be easier to do a comparison for other cameras/smartphones?
Guess the dark room backfired, Muahahaha :D
Lumia 920 reproduced the environment better. The ONE got a lot more exposure.
Soooooooo HTC, Higher MPs don't equate to better pictures huh?
Can wait for the 808 comparison, specially in the dark :D
17. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3199; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
HTC has the dark spot for testing which Nokia made good use of.
19. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
808 wasnt best for dark but it dont take lot of noise in low light either
101. applesauce (banned) (Posts: 165; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
True, but the 808 PureView captures more of the image with its giant sensor l, so a fair amount of the difference can be made up in post processing . Plus it has that EXCELLENT Xenon flash
18. sbergman (Posts: 6; Member since: 26 Jan 2013)
It is ridiculous that HTC based so much on the marketing of the camera and a 300$ phone beat it.
21. Luisit0 (Posts: 73; Member since: 18 Feb 2013)
and there the 4mp shine :( damn htc.......
22. redmd (Posts: 1077; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
the video itself had me nauseated.
the source will tell you the winner. definitely nokia have done best with their sensors.
but I dont like to take pictures at low light. next they should compare pictures in daylight.
24. droidluvngurl (Posts: 11; Member since: 27 Feb 2013)
Nokia took this one. I guess to get a good low light pic with the Htc you'd have to manipulate the ISO settings settings.
25. Tajeshwar (Posts: 9; Member since: 02 Dec 2011)
Nokia always Rocks...
28. yero789 (unregistered)
HTC One caught more light when compared with Nokia Lumia 920,but I would say that Lumia 920's photo was a lot better and the colors were accurate,while HTC One's photos had a lot of blurr.Nokia 720 is a mid-ranfe device,but it did pretty good job,I think it was equal with HTC One with picture quality,because it had a little blurr too,but I mean for a mid-range device,it's awesome :D
29. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
There's no question the Lumia's have better cam's. You can easily bring up the levels in photoshop, but it's much harder to get rid of excess noise. Having images with sharp and crisp details is always better when it comes to photographics...
34. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
To the JackA33 who gave thumbs down: you try eliminating noise from your photos, without resorting to blurring the image, or other techniques that lose detail. Oh wait, you have no skills or knowledge related to graphic design and photography! Go figure ;o)
35. lallolu (Posts: 365; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
HTC should have just simply used a 13mp camera with good camera software.
Hope they have good sales on the HTC One but I for one am not going to buy it.
37. lelouchltm (Posts: 8; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Ultrapixel sucks, Nokia's handset still the best photophone ever.
38. pitak (Posts: 23; Member since: 23 Feb 2013)
disappointed to call Ultrapixel
40. pwnarena (Posts: 1050; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
they should have tested the xperia z to prove how useless increases in megapixels are since that was their main pitch with the ultrapixel technology. i've seen samples online and there're no significant differences. only a wider field of view for htc one. thankfully, htc one videos aren't as shaky as the xz's.
47. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Nokia yet again compared in low light.
How about comparing it in NORMAL CONDITIONS for once?
Uh, no that wouldn't be interesting to Nokia fans.
Because Lumia LOSES against the competition in normal condition still imagery!

Webb Rallies Behind New Volleyball Coach
A new face will be seen at Webb this coming semester with the addition of a new volleyball coach. Unfortunately, former Coach, Matt Werner, had to step down from his position because of increased responsibly with distance learning classes. Coach Werner brought Webb to the HVMAC Championships last year, and we are all hoping for another successful year.
Long Island native, Dan Swayne, is sure to prove to be a worthy replacement. He is "looking forward to having a fun and successful season" with the Webbies. Swayne has coached and played volleyball for eight years, working with students of all ages. "This is my first experience working with college-aged students and I am excited for the level of competition that comes with that," he said.
Swayne received bachelor and master degrees from Binghamton University, studying psychology and geology as an undergraduate and secondary science education in his graduate career. He is currently working as a permanent substitute in Massapequa Public Schools.

Prince Harry may have a new gig in his future! The 28-year-old royal traveled to Nottingham, England, on Thursday and made several stops while in town, including a visit to the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies. During his tour of the school, he met with students and staff and even sat down behind the anchor's desk to try his hand at reading the news for a student broadcast.
Dressed in a black zip-up fleece with a white-collared shirt, Harry reported on current events alongside student Gemma Rowe. While his performance was a bit stiff at first, he quickly loosened up, and by the time he completed the broadcast, he seemed right at home, even giving his co-anchor a high-five!
But Harry isn't the only British royal to test the TV news waters! Check out the vid to see which relative also gave broadcasting a whirl.

Friday, May 18, 2001CHARLESTON, S.C. -- East Tennessee State's Nathan Copeland, the Southern Conference's leader in slugging percentage, blasted his 16th home run of the season and collected four RBI's in leading the Bucs to an 8-2 win over Furman in Game 6 of the Wendy's/Pepsi-Cola Southern Conference Baseball Tournament being played at Riley Park.
East Tennessee State (23-31) advances to Friday's 10 am loser's bracket quarterfinal game against the loser of tonight's Georgia Southern-UNCG game. Furman (30-25) is eliminated from the tournament after posting a school-record 30 wins.
The win marked ETSU's first SoCon Tournament victory since 1999.
Copeland hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the first to stake East Tennesseee State to a 1-0 lead. ETSU scored three times in the third to take a 4-0 lead. Copeland and Andy Baxter hit run-scoring singles in the third and Brandon Cross drove in a run with an infield ground out.
The Paladins got on the board in the fourth when Justin Maderer doubled down the left field line and scored on a single by Dominic Frankey that cut the Bucs' lead to 4-1. The Buccaneers added two more runs in the fifth, piecing together a hit, an error and a wild pitch. Cross knocked in one run with an infield single and a second run scored on the wild pitch.
The Bucs closed their scoring with Copeland's two-run homer in the seventh.
ETSU's Matt Nunley went the distance, scattering eight hits and striking out two while not issuing a walk. It was his first complete game of the season as he improved his record to 5-3.
Furman's Tom Mastny (8-5) was saddled with the loss after giving up six runs and five hits in four and one-third innings of work.

Nick Percat's red-hot qualifying form in the 2013 Porsche Carrera Cup has continued with the South Australian putting his 911 GT3 on pole position for the three-race program at Albert Park.
Percat was the only driver among the crackerjack field – lauded as the most impressive at Albert Park in nearly a decade – to tap into the 1min58-second bracket, which was more than sufficient to keep the fast-finishing Steve Richards in check.
"I couldn't be happier! It's unbelievable – two meetings, two pole positions, the first on my home track and the second at my 'other' home – I live just five minutes away from Albert Park," said Percat.
"To do it up against Steven Richards, (Craig) Baird and all these guys shows we've got good car speed; now we just need to translate it into the race.
"I only had one day in the car before the Clipsal 500, so I'm still learning the ropes in things like the tyre and how it reacts, but these cars are really good here. We've probably got a car that's a bit loose everywhere -- but then loose is fast, as they say. It's like an open-wheeler: you can really throw it around."
Richards set his best lap in the dying minutes of the session, which saw him vault past 2013 Porsche Carrera Cup leader and multiple Albert Park winner Baird, with Warren Luff completing the top four.
At the season-opening Carrera Cup round in Adelaide Baird won two of the two three races to eke out an early championship lead over Richards and Percat. The 2013 series will be held over seven rounds.
Michael Patrizi, Shae Davies and Matthew Kingsley were also impressive in qualifying, which was dominated by the 'professional' class drivers.
The first 'elite' driver – the Carrera Cup classification for those who enjoy racing without it being their prime income stream – was James Koundouris in 10th position.
All 22 drivers made it through qualifying unscathed, and will return for the opening eight-lapper at 6:20pm tomorrow.
