We have just returned from the Beachcomber Hotel in St. Pete's Beach and I must say that we had a fantastic time. The rooms were a little dated but this didn't matter as we hardly spent any time there and they were perfectly adequate for what we wanted. The beach bar, Jimmy B's was fantastic and served great snack food especially the chicken wings of which I think we tried most of them! Being directly on the beach was definitely a bonus and the beach was so picturesque. We ate out at a couple of brilliant restaurants in the evening - Steam, which serves amazing tapas and the Basil Leaf which serves sushi and Thai. I would definitely go back and stay at the Beachcomber and can't wait to book our next trip there.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Beachcomber Beach Resort Hotel is located on 5 1/2 acres of beautifully tropical landscaped gardens.

text: Ten years ago, Joe Morette was enjoying some beer on his New Hampshire farm when one of his turkeys knocked over a can and started sipping the suds. Morette's been feeding his turkeys beer (specifically lager) ever since. He says the resulting beer-bellied birds taste better, an opinion his customers share. One tells the AP that the gravy is better and the "bird overall has a slightly different taste that is very appealing." As to whether or not the beer-guzzling animals are just trying to cope with the stressful holiday season, Morette wouldn't know. "Turkeys don't seem to be the brightest," he says, "so they could stumble and you wouldn't know if they drank too much or not." PETA is of course against it (animal diets and treatment are a touchy subject at the moment), but a food and agricultural specialist at UNH waves off concerns: "I imagine it's not enough to really make 'em tipsy or anything like that. It's just enjoying a beer with their meal. Why not?" Unfortunately, Morette only raises 50 turkeys, so you'll likely have to settle for beer-can turkey. [ABC, Related]

Occupy L.A. Offered Office Space, Farmland, Housing Assistance, To Go Away
Photo by Ed Carrasco
After 52 days of Occupy L.A., City Hall is ready to make a deal. According to Jim Lafferty, an attorney working with the Occupy movement, the city has offered to lease space in the L.A. Mall for $1 a year to the Occupy movement.
The city -- which won't confirm any of this -- apparently offered the old B. Dalton Bookstore, now vacant, to the Occupy L.A. group. Because that space worked so well for B. Dalton...
So: temperature check?
From the looks of last night's G.A., the Occupiers are pretty frosty toward the idea. There were allegations that the "city liaisons" were negotiating behind the backs of the Occupy movement.

There was also resistance to the idea of leaving the City Hall encampment behind. The City Hall site is much more visible than the underground mall. Also, "Occupy B. Dalton!" just doesn't have the same ring to it. On the plus side, however, the Occupiers would have a roof over their heads, and a sustainable home base from which to conduct their operations.
If it were accepted, the city's offer would represent a substantial public subsidy to the Occupy movement. Other merchants in the L.A. Mall rent their space for $1.50 per square foot per month. The B. Dalton space, by that math, would be worth $180,000 a year. (Though it's obviously worth nothing as long as it's empty.)
According to Lafferty, the city has also offered a plot of land for farming, and some housing assistance for the homeless Occupiers.
At this point, though, it seems unlikely that Occupy L.A. will reach a consensus. Too many hard blocks.
Update: Jared Iorio, who was moderating the discussion last night, on the chances that Occupy L.A. will accept the city's offer: "I don't think that's a real possibility based on what I saw last night."
"An offer to appease us as a group of protesters only is a lowball offer that doesn't address the concerns that brought us to City Hall in the first place," Iorio continued. "It's a bit offensive to me personally that City Hall would think we would go away without serious change coming to those who are oppressed in the system."

This paper demonstrates a method to visually measure the force distribution applied to a linearly elastic object using the contour data in an image. The force measurement is accomplished by making use of the result from linear elasticity that the displacement field of the contour of a linearly elastic object is sufficient to completely recover the force distribution applied to the object. This result leads naturally to a deformable template matching approach where the template is deformed according to the governing equations of linear elasticity. An energy minimization method is used to match the template to the contour data in the image. This technique of visually measuring forces we refer to as vision-based force measurement (VBFM). VBFM has the potential to increase the robustness and reliability of micromanipulation and biomanipulation tasks where force sensing is essential for success. The effectiveness of VBFM is demonstrated for both a microcantilever beam and a microgripper. A sensor resolution of less than +/-3 nN for the microcantilever and +/-3 mN for the microgripper was achieved using VBFM. Performance optimizations for the energy minimization problem are also discussed that make this algorithm feasible for real-time applications.

Is there a way to change the background color for the slider? There are times when the Featured Image is not large enough to fill up the Slider window and so there is dead white space to the side of the image.

Have there been any instances of malware or spyware packaged in custom ROMs, for example a malicious email app pre-installed that records your server IMAP username and password and forwards it to a 3rd part? Or part of the kernel that takes periodic photos? With regard to custom ROMs, I mean official and unofficial releases such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, LiquidSmooth, etc.
Not in any of the popular ones as far as I've heard. But you're free to build one yourself, which would then mean that it has happened.

Incident Response Teams
An INTERPOL Incident Response Team (IRT) is deployed at the request of a member country during a crisis situation.
The teams promote cooperation among countries and facilitate access to INTERPOL's tools and services.
There are two types of IRT:
- Disaster – an emergency response to unforeseen catastrophic events, such as large-scale accidents or natural disasters;
- Crime – the deployment of specialized personnel to assist and support a member country faced with a major or serious police issue. Crime IRTs provide specific expertise and investigative support to police.
An IRT can be briefed, equipped and deployed anywhere in the world within 12 to 24 hours of an incident.
Expert assistance
An IRT is typically composed of expert police and support staff from INTERPOL, its member countries or external partners, who provide investigative and analytical support at the site of the incident.
The composition of the team is tailored according to the specific nature of the disaster or crime and the requirements of the requesting country.
Team members are highly specialized and trained personnel, able to work with the requesting member country to meet its specific needs.
IRTs can provide a range of investigative and analytical support at the incident site in coordination with the INTERPOL General Secretariat, such as:
- Issuing international notices for fugitive terrorists whose arrests are sought by member countries;
- Database queries of fingerprints to quickly identify suspects;
- Access to the database of lost or stolen travel documents;
- Money laundering expertise;
- Coordination of response to disaster victim identification through a wide network of international experts and laboratories.
The first IRT was deployed in October 2002 to Indonesia following a terrorist bombing in Bali. As of April 2016, a total of 109 teams have been deployed to countries across the world.

So I have a three drive set up. 1 SSD (Windows 7), 1 HDD (Windows 7 storage), 1 HDD (Ubuntu 12.04). I was not thinking and reinstalled Windows and messed it up. If I have the Ubuntu HDD disconnected, then I boot into Windows like normal. If I have the Ubuntu HDD connected, then I get stuck at my motherboard's boot screen logo. I cannot access anything through F2/DEL (UEFI) or F11 (Boot Menu). Because of this, I cannot do anything with the Ubuntu HDD whether it be through UEFI or Windows or even a livecd/liveusb, because with the Ubuntu HDD plugged in, I cannot go past the ASRock boot screen.

Obscure Objects of Desire
San Francisco--
Like the intoxicatingly queer Castro neighborhood where it's based, the San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival has a high-spirited aura. By day, the sidewalks are filled with gym-sculpted men scoping out tourist boys with shopping bags; by night, the Castro Theatre's neon marquee puts the entire block in bloom. I've come out (pardon the double entendre) for this 22nd SFILGFF, and so has the community at large, which queues up in droves for screenings at the Castro (the grand dame of movie palaces) and two smaller venues with less splendor but equal ambiance in the nearby Mission. The lines for the movies are longer than those for the clubs (last year's festival attendance hit 74,000), with many filmgoers hugging and kissing friends they haven't seen since last summer.
Although this biggest gay/lesbian film fest in the world has been dubbed the "Queer Cannes" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, the abundance of fledgling auteurs schlepping their indie wares in hopes of distribution (or at least future festival gigs) makes the SFILGFF more closely resemble Sundance. Still, cell phones remain pretty rare here--which is to say that scouting agents from Miramax and Sony Classics are nowhere to be found and, as a result, many of the SFILGFF movies may be hard pressed to find a screen outside the festival circuit.
Take Donna Deitch's Angel on My Shoulder, for example: Though it's one of the most powerful works in the festival, as well as Deitch's first feature since her 1985 hit Desert Hearts, the film appears unlikely to earn a wide release. Shot on video, it's a documentary profile of Deitch's late friend, Gwen Welles, and her bout with anal cancer. Welles, who was immortalized as the stripper in Nashville, abused heroin and struggled with bulimia for years prior to discovering her tumor. Then, convinced she wasn't really human, she refused most traditional medical treatment and ultimately succumbed to a form of cancer that has a high survival rate. "The only surgery she believed in was plastic surgery," Deitch explains in voiceover.
Three other film bios offer portraits of rare intensity by current commercial standards. Ten years in the making, Gerald L'Eculyer's brilliantly autobiographical The Grace of God recounts the director's attempts at love and cinema with self-deprecating wit and great poignancy. Sixth Happiness is the somewhat fictionalized version of star Fidaus Kanga's autobiography, telling of a Bombay man whose childhood bone disease stunted his growth and confined him to a wheelchair. Although narrated by Kanga in a smugly triumphant manner, Sixth Happiness does offer a brazen alternative to the image of gay India in last year's Fire. The Brandon Teena Story investigates the rape and murder of a male-identifying Nebraskan woman, ultimately raising more questions than it answers. Maybe the rumored Teena bio-pic with Drew Barrymore will tell the whole story--but probably not.
Of course, not all the SFILGFF films deal with disease and loss. The Sticky Fingers of Time stands out as a rare example of indie sci-fi--something like The Twilight Zone meets Maya Deren's Meshes of the Afternoon. Smartly written and directed by Hilary Brougher, the film unites two female writers--one from the '50s, one from the '90s--who've become unstuck in time as a result of radiation exposure and sheer willpower. The time warping causes the characters to develop a gooey fluid under their eyes, which isn't a copious metaphor so much as a running gag. "It's a matter of waking up sticky--and where were you?" Brougher explains during a post-screening Q&A, adding that this sticky subject only comes up at gay and lesbian fests. (Strand Releasing has picked up the movie for national release later this year.)
While the festival's feature-length films enjoy high profiles, the buzz around the many shorts programs is just as big. In the brief-but-punchy "Just One Time," a man asks his girlfriend to fulfill one of his fantasies by making love to another woman while he watches--a straight cliché rendered with a twist. "Dirty Baby Does Fire Island," "Baby-Cue," and "Vanilla Lament" reconfirms what Todd Haynes's Superstar demonstrated more than a decade ago: Movies made with dolls are always brilliant. More serious in tone, former Twin Citian Jenni Olson's "Blue Diary" deftly captures the disappointment of an affair without a future. But the biggest crowdpleaser is "Two Couples," the festival's own trailer, which precedes each film: In it, four seemingly straight moviegoers explore some hot and heavy same-sex handplay that builds to the toppling of a popcorn bucket and the climactic crushing of a soda cup.
The Minneapolitan Homo Heights reaches a climax of its own at the SFILGFF. "This is the audience I've been waiting for since page one," director Sara Moore tells the sold-out crowd for the first of two screenings. "I'm so fucking thrilled to be in San Francisco." (Moore must have been relieved as well that the print had arrived safely after a shipping snafu in Norway.) Despite the filmmaker's excitement and the audience's enthusiasm, reaction to the comic-bookish gay mafia flick appears mixed: Sitting in the balcony, I witness about 15 to 20 walkouts, although those who stay to the end give the film a hearty round of applause.
One of the most antagonistic audience responses is prompted by Hard, the explicit tale of a gay serial killer and the closeted homicide rookie assigned to the case. After the screening, an older man in a leather jacket leans over to me and says, "I just wonder what the difference is between this and Cruising--except 20 years." Another viewer asks director John Huckert if his film had a point. "The inability to love creates perversion," Huckert says, "and we took it to the max." Indeed, this "inability to love" extends to the relationship between Hard and its audience. But in spite of the film's graphic, questionably eroticized violence, I overhear programmers from other cities say that they'll probably book Hard for their own fests--because it would likely sell out.
Speaking of packing the house, the SFILGFF's continued success with bold documentaries and unconventional features demonstrates once again that there's a sizable audience for groundbreaking queer cinema. But since much of this work has to compete for screens with well-publicized gems such as Ma vie en rose (My Life in Pink) and out-and-out pap like It's My Party, we in the Twin Cities will need to keep our fingers crossed--and our eyes peeled.

N.J. man knows secrets of genuine 'Boardwalk Empire'
Published: Friday, September 17, 2010 at 9:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 17, 2010 at 9:05 a.m.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — While Enoch "Nucky" Johnson was running things in Prohibition-era Atlantic City — including booze, hookers and gambling dens — a teenager named Ed Devlin was getting a taste of Johnson's real-life "Boardwalk Empire" from the periphery.
Johnson, who will be played by Steve Buscemi in the HBO series that begins Sunday, was the unquestioned boss of the resort, and Devlin won enough of his trust to run some small-time numbers. He also heard the most powerful man in Atlantic City talk about his plans to control the resort, its police force and the state police.
Before he finished high school, Devlin had already learned how to take bets from people and deliver money — on time — to the bookies, how much northside hookers charged for an encounter and, most of all, the one rule in Atlantic City: never cross Nucky.
"In my world, he was a god," said Devlin, now 89 years old. "Atlantic City was my kingdom, and he was the king."
His high school yearbook lists his name as Edward "Nucky" Devlin — a nickname he earned because everyone knew Devlin had the ear of the biggest man in town.
For 30 years, until he was finally sent to prison for tax evasion, Johnson dominated Atlantic City — then one of the nation's leading resorts. He controlled not only the Republican political machine that had a stranglehold on government, but also made sure it was what Devlin called "a wide-open town, with gambling, prostitution and booze right out in the open."
Johnson did this by controlling not only the local police department, but by currying enough favor with state authorities so that when the state police had to conduct an obligatory raid from time to time, Nucky would get advance warning. The liquor and gambling equipment were hustled into boats that sped offshore. Hookers were either moved or told to lay low.
It was in this world that Devlin came of age. His father was a local eye doctor who knew most people in town, including Johnson. He introduced his son to the boss, who took a liking to the boy and unfailingly referred to him as "kid."
"Hiya doing, kid? How's things, kid?" Johnson would say every time they met, which Devlin estimated was every other day for at least 10 years.
One night in 1926 when Devlin and his father were waiting for a boxing match to start at the Million Dollar Pier, they saw Johnson stroll in with Harry Moore, the leading candidate for governor of New Jersey.
"I turned to my dad and said, 'What's Nucky doing with Harry Moore?'" Devlin recalled. A few days later, Devlin recalled, he asked Johnson, "I saw you at the fights. You were with Harry Moore. He's a Democrat; you're a Republican."
"He says, 'Kid, I want to talk to you,'" Devlin said. "So we went into his private office, first door on the left, and he says, 'This is a small county. It doesn't have enough votes to control anything. We have to control the Statehouse in order to control the state police. That way they won't come in and raid a place.'"
Like most other Atlantic City residents, young Devlin fell under Johnson's sway, admiring his power, charm and the way he took care of poor or out-of-work families. A household having trouble keeping warm would suddenly find their coal bin filled. A jobless father would be hired for a week or two cleaning up the beach or sweeping streets. Gifts of clothing or food were common — and there was no doubting where they came from.
"He took care of people," said Allen "Boo" Pergament, an Atlantic City history buff who was 12 when he met Johnson. "He could have been a thug and demanded things, and people would have responded out of fear. But he was loved and respected because of the way he took care of people. It bought their loyalty."
Pinky Kravitz, an Atlantic City radio host, also knew Johnson, and confirmed that Devlin and the boss were pals. The 83-year-old Kravitz recalled watching Johnson at a community meeting in an African-American neighborhood, where he dispensed largesse.
"He said, 'Mrs. Johnson, you need coal? You're going to have a ton of coal tomorrow. Mr. Smith, you need a job?'" Kravitz recalled. "He went around the room calling out the names of people, asking what they needed."
Devlin ran numbers for local bookmakers, taking care to get the picks and the cash to the storefront boss on Kentucky Avenue by 12:15 p.m. — 12:30 at the absolute latest — before the winning number was announced at 1 p.m. The payoff: 500-to-1. His take as a street-level runner was 15 percent.
"One day, I made 12 dollars," he said. "At that time, the Works Progress Administration was paying $9 a week, $12 if you were politically connected. We had an apartment where the rent was $7 a month.
"I came home on cloud nine that day, a big shot," he recalled. "I had made $12 in a few hours by running numbers."
Devlin also lined up a messenger job with a brothel on North Michigan Avenue.
"If they wanted a blonde or a redhead, I would take the key to the house where they were," Devlin said. "I did very well."
One day, Devlin worked up enough courage to tell one of the hookers he was interested in her services.
"I don't have much money," he told her. "She said, 'It's 25 cents.' Those were the days!"
Devlin had no qualms about what he was doing, because everyone else seemed to be doing it, too.
"I accepted that way of life," he said. "I had no chance to think that this was illegal or unconstitutional or against the law; it was part of the community I was raised with from the time I could walk and think."
Devlin went on to own two gift shops on the Atlantic City Boardwalk that remain to this day, with his wife taking care of day-to-day matters.
In Nucky's day, Devlin's uncle, "an ex-Marine who believed in doing things strictly by the book," was an Atlantic City police officer. One day when the two were out together, his uncle saw a car stop and make a U-turn in the middle of the street. Ticket book in hand, he flagged down the offending vehicle, and told the driver he had broken the law.
"You know who I am?" the driver said.
"Yes, Nucky," his uncle said.
Devlin went pale watching his uncle write a ticket to the most powerful man in town.
"Ten days later, I saw my uncle again," Devlin said. "He was no longer a police officer. He had been relieved of his office. My relatives were all mad at him. They said, 'What were you thinking, giving a ticket to Nucky Johnson?' "

Yontoo Layers Client. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide)
What is Yontoo Layers Client?
Yontoo Layers Client is a very questionable browser add-on from Yontoo Technology, Inc., which can be used for creating a specific look for webpages. Yontoo Layers Client works on any website and there is no difference which browser, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or other one, you decide to use. However, it seems that this program is capable of causing not only these, seemingly useful, activities. Beware that this program is closely related to to Yontoo Pagerage that we have already reported on our website some weeks ago. In addition, as soon as it enters computer, it may easily alter the start page, the default search engine and other system settings. After doing so, you may need to deal with Yontoo redirects to unknown websites, continuous pop-up ads and similar annoying activities. Besides, this program may start tracking you and may collect various data about your browsing habits. For example: it may collect your search terms, mostly visited websites, data that you leave when visiting each of these sites and information about your computer, like its IP address, location, your email address, etc. If you, just like us, think that such information shouldn't be revealed for unknown parties, you should remove Yontoo Layers Client from your computer. Be sure that it will hide in your machine as an optional browser add-on, which is compatible with each of web browsers. For eliminating this adware and avoiding the removal of wrong entries, you should download Reimage or other reputable anti-spyware.
How can Yontoo Layers Client hijack my computer?
This program is not related to viruses but you should try to be very careful with it. No matter how useful it looks, we have already warned you that Yontoo Layers Client may display annoying advertisements during each of your search sessions. In addition, it may trick you into visiting unknown websites and may also track your browsing habits. One of signs that report about Yontoo Layers Client infiltration is the appearance of Buzzdock search engine, which promises to give 'the buzz on what you're searching for'. In order to prevent infiltration of it and other related adwares/hijackers, you should start monitoring installation of the freeware. For that we highly recommend selecting Custom or Advanced installation of the freeware. In addition, make sure you unmark all pre-checked check boxes that allow installation of this this program, which is also known as adware or potentially unwanted app.
How can I remove Yontoo Layers Client virus?
You can find Yontoo on your computer after installing other programs (video codecs, flash updates, ..) that have it included into their components list. That's why some PC users have no idea how did they get this program on their computers. Of course, it can also be installed manually as well. However, we do NOT recommend leaving those programs that work on modification of the websites' look. Besides, if you have this software on your PC, it's recommended to check it with anti-malware programs to make sure you are not infected with more unwanted software.
You can remove Yontoo Layers Client automatically with a help of one of these programs: Reimage, Malwarebytes Anti Malware. We recommend these applications because they can easily delete potentially unwanted programs and viruses with all their files and registry entries that are related to them.

I finally got Phaedra to the groomer! Here's some before and after shots. Phaedra looked like a sheepdog before I dropped her off at New Tampa Pet Resort.
I finally got Phaedra to the groomer! Here's some before and after shots. Phaedra looked like a sheepdog before I dropped her off at New Tampa Pet Resort.
hehe! It's always amazing the difference when they get back from the groomers. I can remember when my pup came back from the groomers as a child, and I thought my parents were lying to me and that he wasn't the same dog, I was horrified. lol, of course he was though. Phaedra looks so much like a lamb/sheep in the last picture! So cute! 😀
Yeah! She's super cuddley now, too. Less fur means more cuddle time!
She was looking a bit fluffier than usual, wasn't she? She seems to hold her head up a bit higher now, lol.
Always love some puppy pics!
She was soooooooooooo floofy. She's like a spring board! Her feet barely touch the ground now.
Hehehehe. She was so fluffy!!! But adorable with the cut too
I like it when she looks like a poodle, instead of a sheep doggie! 😛
AWWW what a darling girl!!! Such a cute little bandana too! Bet you could have made another poodle from her hair LOL
Pretty much! SO MUCH HAIR!
Awww. I liked sheepdog Phaedra, but so seems quite happy with her cut. Rather like a queen on her throne in that last pic!
She's as light as a cloud, bouncing everywhere now that she's not weighed down by all her hair.
She looks super cuddly in her before pics! Very sleek & chic in her after pic! Very cute bandana with the candy corn!
Hehe, I think she looks adorable too
That first photo had me laughing for a few minutes, still adorable though hehe
Yeah she was just soooooo floofy! Like another dog!

Re: Company Credit card- AMEX
ac921ol wrote:
Question from the spouse:
I filed BK in 9/2009. I have since had a company credit card through American Express. I am an authorized user and make frequent purchases up to 7k and pay the balance monthly. Shouldn't this be building my credit? It did not show up on my TransUnion report.
Also, I have a few items on my report that are paid/charged off. Do I really have to wait for the "date to be removed" or is it worth sending in a letter requesting deletion sooner?
My credit score is 632. Do you think I should apply for a CC even if it carries a high interest rate? Or should I wait until these other items are removed (4/13-7/13)?
I currently have a small $6k car loan with a 22% interest rate at Wells Fargo JUST to build some credit. I was told I should have 3 lines of credit. My fiancee added me as a user to one of his longer standing credit cards. Hopefully that will help?
I'm not sure about the AU question. I will have somebody else chip in.
The paid/charged off items will remain on your credit report until 7.5 years after the date of first deliquency (DOFD). The only way you can have them deleted is to call/email/mail the creditors and request (more like beg) that the paid items be deleted. It is worth giving it a shot but check your credit reports for the DOFD of those items.
Wow..the interest rate you have is crazy. If you have funds available, pay that baby off ASAP. Use the money you would save and get a secured card through Capital One or your local credit union. I won't pay that much interest just to buid credit. I definitely recommend applying for a credit card. Check Capital One's pre-approved site to see if they have an offer for you. Go to your local credit union. Try Barclays too. I don't think your credit score is too shabby. Capital One gave me an unsecured card 2 months after my BK.
Finally, it shouldn't matter what the interest rate of your credit card is. Once you get your statement in the mail, pay it off completely. You won't get charged interest if you pay off in full every month. I'm almost five years post BK and I haven't paid a dime in interest all that time.
Credit recovery is possible and fun. Good luck!!!

Dissertation Dedication
A dissertation is a huge writing assignment. Some dissertations are as long as, or longer than, many books. And, just like a book, many dissertations contain a dissertation dedication. Colleges and universities understand that students might want to dedicate their document to an individual, group, or cause, so many of them make allowances for dissertation dedications to be included.
College and university dissertation style guides often include the option for students to include a dissertation dedication page in their document. In order for the student to incorporate a dissertation dedication page, they must follow the guidelines for the dedication page just as they would for any other report component. Dissertation dedications must adhere to formatting such as page placement, length, margins, page number format, and heading.
Dissertation dedications are intended to allow students the opportunity to pay tribute to a person, organization, instructor, family member, friend, or anyone else who was instrumental to the creation of the report, or even to the student's academic career as a whole. This individual, or group of individuals, may have provided practical dissertation writing help, topic selection assistance, general inspiration, personal support, or may have been instrumental in some other way such as financing the student's education or providing motivational help.
Although the report dedication page is optional, many learners feel they have to include it as an integral part of their document. A dedication can be a sentimental way for the student to review his or her educational course and share their intense thanks for the people, groups, or organizations that helped them reach the end of their educational road. The dissertation dedication may or may not appear in the report contents. Students should consult their college or university dissertation writing guide for assistance in how to write a dissertation dedication, its proper placement in the report, and other formatting requirements.
Even though a dissertation dedication is generally optional, students must still make sure that they follow formal writing rules when writing their dedication page. The dedication might be rather free-form, but it must still be well-written, grammatically correct, and free from spelling and punctuation errors. Dissertation dedications are generally not longer than one page, although many universities do not have specific length requirements as long as all of the formatting guidelines are followed. Some students elect to use their dedication to thank only a few people and others share their appreciation of many. Either way, the names, occupations, and positions of the individuals should be properly researched, spelled, and recognized.

Cat trapper fears feral numbers increasing
A Queensland cat trapper says the feral cat problem in Australia has escalated over the past decade.
72-year-old Reg Sollitt has been waging war against feral cats since the 1950s and recently caught one that weighed in at 10 kilograms.
During a recent plague in north-west Queensland, Mr Sollitt also noted the cats seem to be more destructive.
"All the birds, lizards, dunnarts, rats, mice, everything that they could clean up, they cleaned it up.
"When I was a kid, you wouldn't see many feral cats around, but now it'd be nothing to see 10 or 15 cats a day.
"The feral cats just seem to be getting thicker and thicker and thicker as the years go."

Hi, I love this plugin, but the css merge doesn't work with google chrome (webkit engine)
Is there a trick to make it run!
Sorry for the late reply!
You are the first person to report this; I don't use chrome much but haven't noticed this bug. I have no clue on why this would even happen.
I do have some chrome visitors on my blog I know and chat frequently, and they told me the css was working for them.
Anyways, I have filled a bug for this issue on Autoptimize's tracker and will try to reproduce it when I get some time. The bug link is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/autoptimize/+bug/612774
It would be very useful if you could provide me with a link to your blog running autoptimize, and if you could answer this simple questions:
1- does the css work on other browsers? (IE, Firefox, Flock, other webkit-based browsers like Safari and Midori, etc)
2- Does it still happen after cleaning both autoptimize's (on the options page, use the white button on the bottom to clean it) and your browser's caches?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
okay i found out, if i disable gzip compression on the files it works, so its a problem with the compression.
in firefox and even ie it works very fine :D (strange)
i also have wp super cache enabeled with compression (this works) but with the css its not working :(

Chapter 1
Chandler Home Products (B)
"A few months ago the head of our European organization asked me to recommend whether we should expand my plant again or locate a new production facility somewhere else in Europe. I studied the situation and alternatives for a few weeks and then suggested that this recommendation be made by someone outside my organization. There were simply too many conflicting interests involved, and I think I would have been regarded as being too biased.
"I am very proud of my plant's performance over the past four years. We have been able to maintain our prices and delivery reliability in the face of inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, new products, and political uncertainty. The arguments that led to the construction of this plant over 15 years ago, and the concentration in it of the production for most of our sales in continental Europe, are equally valid today. The plant is not too large, either in comparison with other manufacturing plants in Holland or in comparison with our own U.S. plant in Peoria. We have room to expand, and I am convinced that the costs of expanding here will be less than anywhere else in Europe."
Roland van Zwieten, Manager of Chandler Home Products' Complant ("Common Market plant") in Nijmegen, Holland, raised his hands expressively and smiled. "You see, I am biased! So my boss agreed with me, and that's the reason a Booz, Allen team is working here now."
Chandler Home Products
Chandler Home Products was a privately owned, family-controlled corporation headquartered in Peoria, Illinois. Chandler's lines of household care products were marketed worldwide. Though no company figures were published, industry observers estimated Chandler's 1978 sales at over $1 billion. Approximately 1,500 different products were sold in almost 50 countries. More than half of Chandler's sales were made outside the U.S.A. Of these a majority were recorded in Europe. Van Zwieten's Complant alone produced almost 150 different product formulations. Since most of these were sold in more than one size, the total number of SKUs (stock keeping units) was in excess of 650.
The bulk of the company's business was concentrated in four product areas: floor care products, furniture polish, air fresheners, and insecticides. Although the percentage varied by product line and by country, roughly 60% of Chandler's sales were in the form of aerosols (sold in pressurized cans), a quarter were in liquid form (sold in cans and bottles), and the remainder were solids. Chandler's strategy had been to seek a dominant market position for its products, while maintaining premium prices, through product innovation and the heavy use of advertising. High gross margins (these varied considerably from country to country, but 60% was not unusual) were needed to finance the costs of R&D, advertising and channel support while still providing adequate returns. The company tried to maintain a profit-to-sales ratio of 5% after taxes.
In recent years attempts had been made to diversify into the personal care field with deodorants and shaving gels. Household care products had also been extended into laundry aids and air fresheners. Introducing new lines of products was part of an overall effort to become less dependent upon Chandler's traditional household care products. The markets for these traditional products had matured in the developed countries and promised inadequate future growth. Moreover, the large market shares which Chandler commanded in its traditional product lines were likely to be the target of increasing competitive assault. Competing in new markets, however, frequently pitted Chandler against such international giants as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Gillette.
Despite the fact that the markets for many of its products were maturing, and the overall rate of economic growth in the developed countries of the world was predicted to be less than 3% over the foreseeable future, Chandler hoped that the introduction of new products and the growth of markets in developing countries would enable it to maintain a sales growth rate of 15% per year. It intended to finance most of this growth through internally generated funds, so as to maintain its debt/equity ratio at the current level. This would require careful control over costs and investments, since a 15% sales growth could not be maintained if there were any deterioration in either its profit/sales or its sales/assets ratios. As part of its overall program for maintaining, even improving, profitability, the company intended to gradually shift its resources from low-profit, low-growth products to those that promised higher profits and higher growth. Proposed capital investments were expected to promise a return on investment of at least 25% before tax.
Chandler Europe
The decade of the 1960s witnessed a significant expansion of Chandler's European operations. While some European subsidiaries predated World War II, none had represented a major source of revenues until this growth period. Thereafter, existing subsidiaries grew in size and new subsidiaries rapidly blossomed throughout Western Europe.
Although most of the products sold in Europe were based on products developed in Peoria, the mix of sales differed greatly from country to country. Even neighboring European subsidiaries often significantly differed both in size and in the relative popularity of Chandler products in the diverse product categories in which they competed. Products were adapted to local consumers by means of local brand names, and sometimes even their formulations were modified to meet local preferences. Thus, the distribution of the income levels in a country, together with national tastes in home furnishing, greatly influenced the product offerings of the local Chandler subsidiary. Some foreign subsidiaries even sold products which had been developed specifically for their own use and which were unavailable in the U.S.
Country managers had considerable autonomy in determining their individual product lines. They could add, drop, reposition, or emphasize products according to their perception of local market conditions. Major product or marketing decisions (e.g. dropping a product, an unusual pricing strategy, etc.), of course, had to be justified before Mr. Genet, Chandler's Executive Vice President for European Consumer Goods.
In 1978 roughly 85% of Chandler's European consumer goods sales took place on the continent, while the U.K. accounted for the remainder. About a third of the sales in continental Europe came from Chandler's French subsidiary. The next largest subsidiary was Italy, whose sales were about half of France's, followed by Spain and Germany. An organization chart for the activities under Mr. Genet's jurisdiction is contained in Exhibit 1.1.
The Decision to Build the Complant
Before 1962 each subsidiary had been responsible for its own production. Following a major study by Booz, Allen & Hamilton it was decided to consolidate European production into two plants. One would be the existing facility at Buxbridge, England (about 50 miles from London) which would be responsible for the production of all of Chandler's products for the U.K. The other would be a new facility, the Complant, located in Nijmegen. This plant would be responsible for the production of the aerosol and liquid products for all of Chandler's EEC subsidiaries (the U.K. was not then a member of the Common Market).
The study which resulted in the decision to build the Complant was triggered by a recognition of two partially related trends in the European environment. First, Chandler's European sales were growing at a rate in excess of 40% per year and therefore would be expected to quadruple (from $6 to $24 million) by 1965 if not before. This forecast sales volume could not be prod

The 2000 year old temple destroyed by ISIS was literally irreplaceable.
One can argue another human could have performed the same job just as well or even better. Hence that use found in the Telegraph was wrong.
However, how can you replace something built 2000 years ago? Hence that use, which sparked my interest, was just plain silly.
Which is literally the point of many here, when using the term on an object as an adjective, either it is incorrect or silly.

MONTREAL -- Hundreds of Montreal Expos fans held a rally
near Olympic Stadium on Saturday in the faint hope of dissuading
baseball from moving their hometown team.
Several speakers, including Jacques Doucet, the club's longtime
French broadcaster, and Michel Filteau, who organized the rally,
addressed a crowd of approximately 500 people in a parking lot
adjacent to the Pierre Charbonneau Centre.
Doucet told the crowd he was "proud and disappointed" to be
speaking to them.
"I said I was proud because of the support that these fans
showed about keeping the team here, and I was disappointed because
of the reasons that we were there," Doucet said Saturday night
just before the first pitch of Montreal's game against
Following the 30-minute rally, the group marched along the
grounds of the Olympic Park to gather again outside Olympic
"I think the fans could be the spark for the renewal or the
rebirth of the Expos," Filteau said. "It will pass by the fans
first. They have to take the leadership in that cause. Like with
Minnesota, when they decided to contract the Twins the whole
community got behind saving the team, so we have to do the same
One of the many signs displayed during the rally read: "Selig
is not my Bud."
The Expos have four home games remaining this season, and
Wednesday night's game against Florida could be the last big league
game at Olympic Stadium. After years of dwindling attendance in
Montreal, baseball is expected to relocate the team -- which has
been owned and operated by Major League Baseball for the last three
seasons -- for the 2005 season.
Washington D.C. is the leading candidate. Nearby northern
Virginia; Las Vegas; Monterrey, Mexico; Norfolk, Va.; and Portland,
Ore., have also been contenders.
Expos fan Robbie Hart, a documentary filmmaker who once made a
movie about the plight of the team's fans, believes that support
for the team is even greater than what was displayed at the rally.
"They're not all here now but there are a lot of people who
feel that this team still deserves to be in Montreal, that they
still love the Expos and that this city can support a baseball
team," Hart said.

Things will probably be very quiet around here til wednesday or thursday even. Then again I was expecting a quiet friday when nothing showed early :p
Correct, but Moto was smart and was working ahead knowing Verizon would pull some crap, thus 246 which was approved during all the drama friday
Hm, I just figured that a request like that is usually in business days, not calendar days, I would love news today, but I figured it wouldnt be...
Yea Monday morning is hardly anything to be excited about. We should be excited for wednesday afternoon...
I still stand by my juice defender app...fantastic for battery life. not sure if smart actions covers what it does now though
I understand, I think earlier builds would be OK with flash unless it went full screen
well if flash is working then there should be no reason for vzw to reject 246 now that theyve accepted it, that lead tech can play his flash games now
Here's hoping its 'early' q4. Lol
The bionic ics update is the fusion power of the Android world
Ok that makes sense then... I thought the two week delay was on vzw approving it, not the rollout I guess yesterday showed vzw approval is quick...
Oy here I was thinking we were gonna get 246 next Friday...
Its up, but according to sarge DO NOT INSTALL at this point anyway. its a backup build incase things dont go well today
well it is a friday.
i want to beeeeelieeeeeeve!
