My head was placed on a chopping block as punishment for something I didn't do. I had nothing to do with the death of a king and had no idea who these rebels I was arrested with were. Nobody seemed to care.
So there I was, head down, facing the man tasked with taking off my head. Then, as the executioner prepared his lethal swing, the ground began to shake as a dragon swooped in with fire and destruction we'd only heard about through stories from the elders of the mythical creatures.
I used the commotion of the dragon's attack to make my escape by grabbing whatever weapon I could find and fighting my way out. It all ended as suddenly as it began. I survived an attack the rest of the Skyrim province would have problems believing had happened. Now what?
These are the kind of moments you can expect when you play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which releases on Friday for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It's the latest role playing game in the storied Elder Scrolls franchise to be developed by Bethesda Game Studios.
This is a review of the Xbox 360 version. I played the game for more than 50 hours and reached the rank of 27 while playing as the Imperial race. I completed the main story quests, dozens of miscellaneous quests, a handful of side quests, and four clusters of faction quests.
The incredible depth of this game will mean that reviewers will experience it differently from each other and therefore write reviews that vary in focus. I'll include a quick hit of items I didn't do much of but feel you might want to know about.
Please ask any questions you have in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them. I've completed something like 30 games this year and probably more than 50 these past couple of years. Skyrim is by far the best of that bunch.

I picked the Imperial but was able to do really good with the other abilities because of potions, amulets, upgrades, and overall skill building.
You set about improving your shout skills by learning the way of the voice and participate in some amazing battles along the way.
What Bethesda did was make it so you can experience the main quests in a streamlined way, but added the game's real depth by way of the factions, groups, and people of Skyrim.
After beating what is a truly amazing and exciting set of main quests, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the faction storylines. I completed the thieves storyline, which is filled with plot twists and varied action. The College of Winterhold missions focused on the mages. Those quests helped me improve my casting and experience some of the best quests the game has to offer, including a really cool supernatural twist.
But my favorite set of quests, aside from the main story, was the civil war set. Here you're asked to pick a side in a war of principles and beliefs. Depending on your choice, you will attack or defend several different strongholds. This quest set was filled with pure combat and political intrigue.
My only real problem with the game can be found in this part of the saga, though. I decided early on to beat the main quests before really digging into the side ones. So I had already eradicated the evilness when the townsfolk and soldiers were still worrying about it during the side quests.
A game like Skyrim is massive in every aspect of the experience. I understand that it's impossible to develop for every possible way to complete the quests. It was still a little odd to be treated as a stranger or enemy by a faction I had helped lead to victory
Three out of my four trips there during this series presented me with a dragon to fight. Each time he did something different. If you kill the dragon, you will be able to steal its soul. That's a major part of the story and the abilities of your character. You'll also come across different types of dragons. The one who breathes ice is hard to handle.
The dragons, though, are far more than an occasional battle. Without spoiling too much of the story, I can tell you that these wonderful creatures play an important role in the main story. I found myself literally smiling as I experienced those storytelling moments.
Being unscripted also lends itself to problems, though. I had one get stuck in a watch tower then fall a really long distance after I shot him full of arrows. He stayed there so long I wondered if he had died. So I went down to find him waiting to kill me. He totally killed me.
Another time a dragon killed a guard I needed for permission to enter a town. A guard never reappeared so I ended up having to find a different way into the city. These are minor things but the dragons add a level of unpredictability to the world. Plus it's sort of funny when one picks a fight with a giant. Those dudes don't mess around. Avoid the giants.
Many are tucked away in Skyrim's caves. You find them at the end of some quests, so keep an eye out for really cool wind and colors coming from a circular altar. Stand in it and reap the rewards.
Bethesda lets you choose. You can go magic on both hands if that's your preference.
The player movement during battle is fairly smooth and lets you switch up how you attack an enemy. I used my shield, for example, when an enemy didn't seem to care about the fire. The shield let me block and stun opponents before countering with my blade.
I went to my double-handed ax when I needed brute force. Being able to block and counter let me protect myself enough to get powerful strikes. It creates a personal combat experience that never stops being fun or rewarding.
You rank up all your skills, in part, by simply using them. Using a one-headed weapon for most of the game helped me reach level 70 with one-handed weapons. I didn't have to do much more than just be effective with those weapons.
There is something really cool about seeing your skills improve as your using them. The same goes for every other skill in the game. Use it to improve it.
The great thing is that Bethesda also lets you improve skills by "reading" books you find along the way or by paying teachers. Plus you'll automatically upgrade skills you don't focus on by completing quests that make you use them. It's a very intuitive skill progression system that kept me playing and using different attacks.
Do yourself a favor and look over these perks before you get too deep into the game. You'll do better if you use your upgrades wisely and according to your overall plan for your character.
It took me a few quests to realize that I preferred duel-wielding magic and a mace so I wasted a few points on stuff I never really used.
Where the graphics are a letdown are when you go underground in the caves and dungeons of Skyrim. The textures are really washed out in most situations, though there are a few glorious views to be found. I also would have loved for the weather to actually matter. Snow, for example, could have forced me to change my armor to prevent me from freezing.
Skyrim was for the most part a glitch-free experience. There is the occasional delay on loading menu screens or a temporary freeze when you want to swap items. But I didn't have any real problems playing the game until really late in my time with it.
The best example I can give you is from the Companions faction quests. One of the leaders literally followed me around whenever he was in the area.
It was very annoying because the game would also force me to initiate a conversation with him. There were multiple occasions where I couldn't talk to the correct person for a quest because he wouldn't go away. Then I had to go on a job with him and hear the same line of dialogue the entire time while having to back out of forced conversations. I eventually just turned down the volume on my T.V. and did a speed run through the quest.
So you will more than likely experience a few technical problems with the game. You should expect Bethesda to fix those problems as they're discovered. There is already a launch day patch waiting for minor issues.
Spend days exploring the land to find hundreds of locations or miscellaneous quests from random people. Or dump hours into becoming a master blacksmith, improving your enchanting skills, or becoming a trader of goods you find along your journeys.
I decided to be a warrior and stay away from the crafting skills. If I needed a sword that can do fire damage, I just bought it. You might want to create weapons.
If I needed a potion for healing or curing decease, I just paid for it. You might want to become a master alchemist.
The sheer amount of content and quests means you'll have plenty of opportunity to improve your skills as you see fit and upgrade those skills with some really handy perks. Plus some of you will spend days crafting, trading, enchanting, and selling goods.
Elder Scrolls fans might find the more streamlined character development features to be over simplified. I think they'll instead find a character customization system that allows for tweaking along the way and eliminates the feeling that you may have chosen the incorrect race when you started the game.
Put plainly, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the best game released this year. It has a few bugs and the graphics don't hold up when the game goes underground. But this is the kind of game everybody should want to play.

The Obama Record: The Muslim Brotherhood doesn't just threaten the Mideast. It threatens America. Instead of protecting the nation from these Islamofascists, the president has embraced them.
Five patriots on Capitol Hill have cast political correctness aside and warned of Brotherhood plants inside the Obama administration. Led by House intelligence committee member Michele Bachmann, these GOP lawmakers have asked key agencies dealing with national security to investigate possible infiltration by agents working for a subversive force not unlike communism.
The old Washington media have traduced them as "McCarthyites." Without any independent reporting, they've declared the government free of Islamist moles, despite troubling ties between several Muslim appointees with high-level security clearance and the Brotherhood.
They've also certified the Brotherhood a benign organization interested in helping widows and orphans — even though the FBI director has testified that "elements of the Muslim Brotherhood both here and overseas have supported terrorism."
Such whitewashing is the result of effective influence operations run by the Muslim Brotherhood to control how we see our enemies and speak about them. These operations are politically sophisticated.
Earlier last week on CNN, for example, host Anderson Cooper brought on a guest identified simply as a "professor of religion" to talk about the issue. John Esposito of Georgetown University quickly brushed aside concerns about Islamist penetration of the State and Homeland Security departments.
Then he argued it was "racist" to question the loyalty of Muslim officials working inside the agencies, despite growing evidence they've had undue influence over Mideast policy and even leaked highly sensitive intelligence documents.
Viewers weren't told that Esposito has a long track record of supporting Islamists. In fact, he's been described by former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy as the country's biggest non-Muslim "apologist" for the Brotherhood. As director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, he's also a paid mouthpiece for Saudi interests.
But his agenda was concealed as he and Cooper agreed the notion of infiltration was "absurd." They noted that Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano denies any Brotherhood penetration, and that the FBI supposedly has "looked into it and found nothing."
In fact, the FBI is so concerned about the Brotherhood's influence operations that it has, as official policy, refused to meet with the Council on American-Islamic Relations — which the bureau has identified in court documents and testimony as a U.S. front for Hamas and its parent the Muslim Brotherhood.
Still, Obama White House officials reportedly have met with CAIR hundreds of times over the past three years.
In 2007, CAIR and another Brotherhood front — the Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA — were named unindicted co-conspirators in the largest terror-finance conviction in U.S. history. They have been shielded from further prosecution by the Obama Justice Department.
In 2004, the FBI recovered a document from a Brotherhood leader's home across the Potomac that outlined a conspiracy to "destroy" the U.S. "from within." The document provided agents with a road map to the Brotherhood's terror-support network inside America, much of it based inside the Beltway.
The president knows about this radical insurgency but, for whatever reason, is actively trying to mainstream it.
Brotherhood fronts have virtually unfettered access to his administration. Obama is not only personally receptive to them, but is also actually allowing them to advise him and his security staff about outside threats related to Islam and even about the content of counterterrorism training manuals.
Bachmann and other members of the intelligence panel who have spoken out get the same briefings regarding the Brotherhood's U.S. operations. But they have arrived at starkly different conclusions about the threat the Brotherhood poses.
The "National Security Five," as Newt Gingrich calls them, know that the threat of Brotherhood infiltration is real.
Just from open-source reporting, we know that the former godfather of the Muslim Brotherhood in America — Abdurahman Alamoudi — infiltrated the State Department as a goodwill ambassador for Islam in the years leading up to 9/11. He's now behind bars for plotting terrorism.
Given this president's romanticized view of the Brotherhood, both at home and abroad, it's a legitimate question to ask if Muslims appointed by him received proper security clearance. Did the FBI turn up red flags in their background investigations that were ultimately ignored?
We could simply trust that they were properly vetted. But that would mean we'd have to trust this president and have faith that he has the country's best interests at heart, which is getting harder and harder to do.

After nearly three weeks without incident, renegade photobomber Rusty flew into frame just as the shutter came down on Abbey's new head shot.
"We were just trying to get some good portraits that Abbey could take on her auditions," says photographer Jenny Chow. "Rusty just came out of nowhere and ruined the whole thing."

Little girl keeps 6 hungry pit bulls in line as she prepares their meal
This 4-year-old girl could probably give the Dog Whisperer a run for his money. Mealtime for dogs is always something of a production. When you own six pit bulls, it's akin to an entire Broadway show in terms of effort and entertainment. One 4-year-old whose family owns six hungry pit bulls decided to take charge over their meal time, and as you can see below, she used the power of the kibble to gain complete control over the situation.

Kim Kardashian, Baby Daddy Kanye West Have a New Wedding Planner
Kim Kardashian and baby daddy Kanye West have decided to hire a new wedding planner - the couple are hoping to marry this year.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star turned to her mother Kris Jenner's close friend Sharon Sacks to organize most of her lavish events in the past, including her wedding to Kris Humphries in 2011, but she and fiancé Kanye West want to go in a ''different direction'' for their wedding this summer.
A source told E! News: ''Kim and Kanye have decided not to use Sharon Sacks as they want to try a different direction from her usual style.''
Sharon also planned Kim's baby shower last June, her sister Khloe Kardashian's wedding to her now estranged husband Lamar Odom in 2009, and multiple Kardashian/Jenner birthday parties including her Kylie Jenner's sweet sixteen bash in August.
The couple are currently in Paris together, where they are viewing a number of potential venues for their nuptials.
The source said: ''They are going to spend a few days looking at weddings venues in and around Paris. They are also going to do some shopping. They are really excited to find the right place for their nuptials. They are looking at a summer wedding.''
Kanye, 36, jetted to the French capital on Thursday (16.01.14), to attend shows at menswear Paris Fashion Week, while Kim joined him there on Saturday afternoon (18.01.14).
The duo, who have left their seven-month-old daughter North West in Los Angeles with family, were spotted enjoying a romantic lunch at popular celebrity restaurant L'Avenue before enjoying a private visit to the Palace of Versailles on Sunday (19.01.14).

Johnny Marks (c) 1949
You know Dasher and Dancer [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Prancer and Vixen, [Dm7 Cmaj7]
Comet and Cupid [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Donner and Blitzen. [Dm7 Cmaj7]
But do you recall [Am E7 Am]
The most famous reindeer of all? [D9 G4 G7]
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) [C G7]
And if you ever saw it (saw it) [G7]
You would even say it glows (like a flash light) [C]
All of the other reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Used to laugh and call him names [C G7] (like Pinochio)
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) [G7]
Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) [G7 C]
Then one foggy Christmas Eve [F Em7 A7]
Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) [Dm7 G7 C]
Rudolph with your nose so bright [G7 Em]
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? [Am7 D7 Dm7 G7]
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) [C]
And they shouted out with glee (yippee) [C G7]
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [G7]
You'll go down in history (like Columbus) [G7 C]

Cultivating a campus culture that embodies both global diversity and interconnectivity should be central to the mission of universities today. Reminders persist that our current environment and economy are not confined to our immediate geographic surroundings. Modern-day technologies, transportation, international trade, and politics significantly diminish distances that used to seem great.
In today's higher ed world, no department can work in a vacuum, least of all IT. From understanding the business plan to knowing how a web page or application will be used and by whom before it is designed and built, the days of CIOs and their teams working independently are gone.
IT administrators are spending more time than ever before collaborating with other departments to ensure there is a clear understanding of a project's mission and to generate a more successful outcome.
It would be very easy to be jaded about the future of higher education if it were not for the fact that those who serve this industry view it as a calling.
College sports has long had its share of scandals, including rape charges against players and coaches, illegal payments to athletes, academic fraud and point shaving, to name a few.
The University of Akron in Ohio has selected Scott L. Scarborough, now provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at The University of Toledo, as its next president.
At UT, he directed the development of a new strategic plan, "Imagine 2017," and organized a system of "portal colleges" designed to meet the needs of meet the needs of a range of nontraditional students with a variety of academic backgrounds.
Scarborough will assume the presidency on July 1, replacing Luis Proenza, who is stepping down after 15 years.
Other people news:
It would be very easy to be jaded about the future of higher education if it were not for the fact that those of who serve this industry view it as a calling. We know that we can make a difference in the lives of our students and in society. We try to do the very best for our students while addressing the issues of the day through our research and community outreach. Not a bad calling, in my view, and why with great pride I have spent my adult life in the academy serving four institutions over the past thirty years as a faculty member, administrator and now university president.
A pervasive "because we have to" approach to higher education accreditation is contributing to the growing crisis of confidence in the value of college and the degrees it bestows. When faculty and higher education leaders declare "we complied," it's probably not good enough.
A March report commissioned by the cosmetics company L'Oréal focused on the disproportionate role of women in science. In a nation that prides itself on scientific achievement, the report reveals, less than a third of women actually enter the field, and even fewer graduate and go on to careers.
Marylou Yam has been appointed as the 14th president of Notre Dame of Maryland University, effective July 1. Yam joins the school from Saint Peter's University (N.J.), where she served as provost and vice president for academic affairs.
She worked to expand Saint Peter's from a college to a university and helped established its first two doctoral programs and its schools of nursing and education. Yam will replace Interim President Joan Develin Coley.
Demands for increased innovation are commonplace today, with leaders of all stripes—including those in postsecondary education—calling for individuals and enterprises to be more innovative. However, few know much about innovation or its cultivation. Not surprisingly, innovations are typically stumbled upon by accident or, as is most commonly the case in higher education, occur within the contexts of one-off initiatives.
Historically black colleges and universities are coming together to encourage entrepreneurial ventures and thinking among their students and faculty. Kicking off the initiative is the first HBCU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative Symposium in late March in conjunction with the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance's Annual OPEN Conference.
Administrators at public colleges and universities received larger raises in 2013 than did their private-institution counterparts. That's a key finding in the "2013-14 Administrators in Higher Education Salary Survey," conducted by the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources.
Question: What do Coca-Cola, BMW and DeVry University all have in common? Answer: Each of these brand names has a sponsorship relationship with the U.S. Olympic Committee. Though there were over 30 official sponsors, only one of them is a university—so DeVry is well-positioned to be the face of 21st century higher education, a national model customized to each student's individual and unique higher education aspirations and needs.
Eric J. Barron, president of Florida State University, has been named the 18th president of The Pennsylvania State University.
According to the Penn State Board of Trustees, the selection committee was compelled by Barron's role leading a doctoral research university that also has a law school and a college of medicine, as well as his strategic plan to take FSU into the top 25 ranking of national public universities.
The University of Florida's last fundraising campaign, completed in October 2012, surpassed its $1.5 billion goal and finished nine months ahead of schedule at $1.72 billion. Despite this tremendous success, the next campaign will deploy a new tactic—a fine-tuned army of the university's leaders prepared and practiced in the strategies of fundraising.

Where CA Technologies Is Headed: Q&A With CEO Mike Gregoire
Prior to the new CEO's arrival, CA for a long time was considered to be a takeover target by one of the larger all-purpose IT vendors. Not anymore.LAS VEGAS—CA Technologies has, over a lot of years in business, earned the reputation of being a company that would rather buy than build. All one has to do is look at the number of acquisitions the company has made—65 since 1981, 20 of those since 2006—to observe CA's strategy. While CA in 2015 isn't exactly saying it is veering away from that approach under new CEO Mike Gregoire, it is allocating many more resources (including $600 million this year) toward research and development of its own as it continues to integrate all that intellectual property into products and services that it believes enterprise IT systems will want, now and in the future. A little background: CA Technologies, formerly known as Computer Associates International Inc. and CA Inc., is one of the largest independent software corporations in the world. It is a New York City-based, publicly held, multinational company that creates systems software (and previously applications software) that runs in mainframe, distributed computing, bare metal servers, virtual machine and cloud computing environments. Not a Takeover Target Any Longer
The company has a large, diversified installed base of enterprise, government and retail clients around the world, including the U.S. federal government, Nike, Comcast, Capgemini, Qantas, Loreal of Paris and many others.

Travis Boating Center
Travis Boating Center is one of the premier super stores for the best deals on boats in the United States. Travis Boating Center was founded and began by the man who was responsible for launching Bass Pro Shops – the premier store for everything outdoors.

Exclusively carrying Tracker brand boats, Travis boating center was started back in the 1970's and featured a "ready to fish" boat package that was unheard of in the industry at the time. Tracker boats have since become known as some of the best quality of boats that can be found today. Since its inception, Travis Boating Center has expanded their brand lines to include Nitro, Sun Tracker, and Tahoe, to name just a few.
Today, this is a national phenomenon growing by leaps and bounds every day. Inside the stores of Travis Boating Center, you'll find the largest selection of boats all tailored to the regions that each store serves.

Travis Boating Centers are located in many places concentrating mostly in the south and southeastern United States. They are especially concentrated in areas where boating is big such as Texas, California, and Florida. However, chances are very good that if you take the time to look, you will be able to find a boat dealer near you that carries Tracker boats which were developed by Travis Boating Center.
Travis Boating Centers are well-known for being heavy participants in boat shows all around the country. Because they have such great boat packages which usually include trailers as well as boating gear, they have a lot to offer at these shows.
They pride themselves on offering everything the avid boater needs no matter what activity the boat will be used for. Their staff is friendly and very knowledgeable as each employee must go through a rigorous training session where they learn everything that will help the consumer make a well-thought out decision on their boat purchase.
Whether you want to angle for sport fish, ski with family, or cruise to Margaritaville, look for a Travis Boating Center to get outfitted with the best boat around. When you become an owner of one of their fine boats, you will enjoy the results of founder Johnny Morris' enduring vision: "Build a better boat, make it affordable and make it last."
That's what you'll get from Travis Boating Center and Tracker boats.

Boating in England
When considering a boating vacation, many people think of tropical locations. However, the truth is you can have a great time boating in England. There actually are many bodies of water where you can have a great time boating in England.
Many barges and canals are places where you can enjoy the English countryside from the beauty of a "narrowboat". Lots of companies offer guided excursions down the water allowing you to enjoy jolly old England from the comfort of these luxury vessels.
Boating in England is really a lot like boating in the States. It's a relaxing, fun vacation taken at a slow pace. There are actually over two thousand miles of waterways from wide canals to narrow ones and even some pretty good sized rivers you can enjoy.
Your best bet for boating in England is to hire a boating company who will give you a guided tour. They will be able to point out interesting tourist attractions and give you information about their beautiful country.
You can also rent your own narrowboat and commandeer it down the waterways. People who have done this type of vacation report that it's one of the most satisfying boating trips they've ever been on.
One of the advantages to boating in England is you can experience complete freedom. There are many, many places you can stop along the canal and visit a neighborhood pub or a five star restaurant. You can moor your boat and explore the countryside on foot. Life on the water can be quite idyllic.
You may also want to explore boating on England's River Thames. This river is mostly non-tidal and runs through some beautiful places. The Thames does have locks to go through, and you must be patient when traveling through the locks. They can take quite awhile to get through, but just sit back and enjoy the scenery while you wait!
If you want to travel the River Thames, you should be aware that this is one of the most popular waterways in England, so the boat traffic could be heavy at times. Also, all boats that want to travel this water must be registered. Not registering your boat could cause problems with the water constable.
Boating in England is a great chance to experience one of the most beautiful places in the world. Consider taking the time in the spring when the greenery is bursting into life and the hillside is green and lush. We think you will find that boating in England is an experience second to none!
Boating Supplies
You're ready for a relaxing day out on the water, but you're wondering what boating supplies you're going to need. You've already got all the necessary boating supplies to make your boat legal, but what will you need for a really great boating getaway?
The first thing you need to consider when it comes to boating supplies is who will be with you on this excursion? Are you bringing your family, a bunch of friends, or will it just be you and that special someone? That makes a difference. It also matters if you will be on just a day outing or an overnight one. Let's look at each scenario.
For a family boating trip, the supplies you'll need should reflect the needs of everyone. You'll want some healthy foods for snacking like trail mix, cut-up vegetables with a low-fat ranch dip, and some fruit. If you want to make the day special, consider some junk food as well. Bring along lots of water and juices for the kids. Try to stay away from the soda as you don't want some hyperactive kids running around!
When cruising with a group of friends, boating supplies will be a lot different. Cruising with friends is usually a party time, so have along some snacks that are considerably more grown-up. Get a cheese and cracker platter, but have a place to keep it cool so the cheese doesn't spoil. Chips and dip are good choices as are finger sandwiches like ham salad and egg salad.
Beverages will probably be quite different as well. Have lots of coolers on hand to hold canned beer, some wine coolers, and soda for your non-drinking friends. As a note here, if you are driving the boat, consume alcohol moderately or you risk a boating while intoxicated violation.
What if it's just two people on a romantic sunset cruise? Boating supplies necessary for this type of excursion should be in keeping with the romantic atmosphere you want to create. Have some strawberries and champagne for toasting each other. Again, some fine cheese is good as are aphrodisiacs like oysters and shrimp. Candles really make the atmosphere romantic as you can watch the sun set while floating on the water.
A day trip will require much fewer boating supplies than an overnight trip. On a day trip, you won't need to plan for multiple meals. If you are over-nighting, have some easy breakfast foods around like granola bars, fruit, and bagels. Lunches should be simple with sandwiches and some chips. You can go crazy at dinner if you want, but we would suggest finding a great stop-off along the way with a waterside restaurant where you won't have to worry about dishes!
Boating supplies are more than just life jackets and tow ropes. When you look at boating supplies from a different perspective, you see that the essential supplies are the ones that help make your day on the water a real trip to remember!
Boating Store
When you begin to take up the sport of boating, you'll want to find a good boating store where you can outfit your boat and yourself. A boating store is more than just a sporting goods store. It's a store devoted strictly to the needs of boating and those who love it.
Often, a boat dealership will have a store inside where you can find all sorts of boating gear. They will carry authorized boating products and usually will have a wide variety of products for you to choose from. The advantage to shopping in a boating store like this is that you will have the advice of professionals who know what they're talking about to guide you in the right direction when it comes to choosing your boating products.
Like many other businesses, you can find a variety of products online in an online boating store. You will often find lower prices in these boating stores and many specials you can choose from to help you save money on your boating gear. Here are some of the top picks when it comes to an online boating store:
* www.boatingstore.com – When you visit this web site you can almost, quite literally find everything you need in the way of boating gear. They have a full line of supplies for all aspects of boating and even have their own line of products that are available in regular brick and mortar stores.
* www.binnacle.com – This online boating store has hundreds and hundreds of products that range from clocks and barometers to safety equipment and books on boating. You will find everything you need right here!
* www.westmarine.com – Besides offering a complete stock of everything a boating store would need, you'll find helpful articles on this great web site. Plus, they have a clearance section where you can save big on boating gear!
* www.basspro.com – Bass Pro Shops is probably considered THE boating store as well as THE fishing and hunting store. They have locations all over the United States and offer boating, fishing, and hunting equipment for the sportsman.
* www.boatstoreonline.com – This online boating store claims to have "everything boating". They mostly carry engine parts and equipment, but if you're looking for that special part, they'll probably have it!
It's not difficult to find equipment that you need in a boating store. Whether that store is online or just down the road, you can easily get everything you need to enjoy your boating experience.
Boating Schools
What is a boating school? Basically, it is what it says it – a school where you learn what you need to know about boating. The United States Coast Guard recommends that all boaters take an accredited course in boating at a certified boating school. They have proven that boaters who participate in boating school have a markedly better chance of avoiding a boating accident when they have taken these types of classes.
There are many places where you can find a certified boating school where you can learn about boating safely. Begin by looking online. You'll be able to find a boating school near where you are just by doing a quick Google search. Take a look at the list you'll see pop up and choose a school with a good reputation.
What makes a good boating school? Well, first and foremost, they should have the credentials and experience to be able to teach boating basics to the general public. See if they are accredited by the United States Coast Guard. What qualifications does the instructor have? What are some of the areas they will cover in school? Also, make sure that their price range is within your budget.
Some companies offer boating schools online. They will allow you to take classes from the comfort of your own home. You'll read through their provided materials and then take various tests to gauge your progress through the course. At the end, you'll take a comprehensive exam covering all the material in the classes which you will need to pass to become certified. Online boating schools require concentration and dedication, so be sure you have the time and effort to devote to it.
Look to the local marina as well for a qualified boating school. Marinas have on staff boating professionals who conduct classes on a regular basis. The advantage to a real-life school is that you can have your questions answered right there and you will most likely get some hands-on experience in piloting a boat.
Finally, many boat dealerships will also conduct boating schools or at the very least, they will have information on upcoming schools in your area. Just contact them and inquire about what boating schools they know about.
You will become a much better boater when you take classes at a boating school. Even if you are an experienced boater, you can always use a refresher course to learn about new innovations and regulations in the boating industry. Look for a boating school that will meet your needs and then take it as seriously as you would "regular" school.
Boating Safety
The most important part about responsible boating is to always practice good boating safety. The United States Coast Guard says that almost all boating accidents could have been prevented if the captain of the ship had taken a boating safety course prior to getting on the water. Boating safety is tantamount to responsible boating and it shouldn't be taken lightly.
There's no way we can cover all aspects of boating safety in this short article. What we can do, however, is to give you some basics to go from in your quest to become a responsible boater. There's nothing that can replace a good, certified boating safety course taught by a qualified individual, but everyone has to start somewhere!
* Always know the safest distance to keep away from other boats. If someone is going slower than you are and you want to pass them, know how to do so safely and with the proper signaling. Boats don't have turn signals, but you should know how to alert the other boater you will be passing them.
* When you are putting your boat in the water, be sure you know how to do this quickly as well as safely. Boating safety has to be present even before you get your vessel on the water. Knowing how to do this the right way can make the difference between friendly and unfriendly boating.
* If alcohol is part of your boating trip, be sure you are very conscious of what alcohol can do to your body when you are operating a fast-moving vehicle on top of a body of water. Alcohol use by the captain should occur in moderation above everything else. Most of the boating accidents that occur today can be directly attributed to alcohol as a contributing factor. Be smart when it comes to alcohol consumption on the water.
* Make sure that all people on board your boat have access to a life vest. Never let a child be in your boat without wearing a life vest at all times. The number one cause of death on the water is due to drowning. That is caused by people falling overboard without a life vest. This is the number one boating safety rule stressed by all instructors.
* Boating safety depends on everyone following general rules of etiquette when you are out on the water. While you can't control what the other boaters do, you sure can control what you do. Always be polite on the water and know that you are doing your part to keep the waters safe.
Like we said previously, every boater should really take a certified boating safety course. Besides making it easier for you to get your boating license, you will be a much better boater after you take a boating safety course.

An installation server with extras
The virtualization breakthrough has not reduced the number and diversity of operating systems that admins must install and manage. Uranos server sets out to give administrators of complex operating system zoos more freedom.
Mario Gzuk once faced the task of installing to a mixed group of operating systems, all without manual intervention, as far as possible. He really wanted to do this with Unattended, a Linux tool that automatically rolls out various Windows systems in a computer pool. However, the lack of a user interface and a few other aspects bothered him. So, as is often the case in the free software scene, Gzuk set off to develop his own framework, Uranos, building on Unattended.

Martha Stewart would Approve of the Design Possibilities for Granite and Marble Slabs Hamilton
Stonex Granite & Quartz Inc. is one of the top leaders of fabrication and installation of natural stone and quartz products.
Jayne B
Old Meets New
The old world simplicity of natural granite and marble slabs in Hamilton has joined with the speed and efficiency of new world technology.
Many dealers now have computerized technology to design and work with the stone slabs which makes the design process for creating cut-outs and custom edges more expansive and the relationship between customer and fabricator easy, efficient, and productive. Designing can be as easy as creating a pattern as a computer file and letting the computerized equipment do the rest. The advent of computerized technology in production has many advantages including timeliness of delivery and proficiency of the design experience. The world of granite and marble slab interior design has opened up to keep pace in our ever-changing 21st century.
Get the Edge on Design
No longer do your hips need to be bruised by running into the sharp square edge of a hip-height countertop. Instead, you can choose from a variety of edge treatments and finishes that add another level of detail to your interior design. With character names such as Bullnose, Ogee Setback, Triple Pencil and more, the edge treatment you choose can complement the style of cabinetry, furnishings or mood of the space you are decorating. A softer edge can add a smoother edge to protect your hips while an Ogee setback could add an intriguing detail to set your granite and marble slab apart.
In addition, you can choose from several finishes for granite and marble slabs that will add a further defining touch to your granite and marble slab treatment. The most standard finish for granite and marble slabs is polished, which is the least porous of the finishes available. In a honed finish the polishing process is stopped before the stone achieves a high state of gloss. A leathered finish adds texture to the surface and closes the pores and is not as reflective as a polished surface. A caressed finish adds gloss to a leathered finish.
Granite and Marble Slab Design Options are Many
When one thinks of building applications for granite or marble slabs Hamilton, one might think in a limited way of classic examples like grand buildings with glittering red granite facings or old world treasures that boast magnificent white marble columns. The dealers of granite and marble slabs Hamilton have opened up design, colour and treatment options considerably. Dealers now have large stocks of hundreds of colour variations in their galleries and homeowners can choose from an array of colours ranging from the demure to the exotic. It is important to be able to see granite and marble slabs up close and personal in order to appreciate the unique veins, mottles and flecks on each slab to determine what shade and variation might work best in your home. Keep in mind that granite and marble slabs demand attention and will be a beautiful up-front and centre showpiece for your home.
The options are boundless for colours, designs, edge treatments and finishes for granite and marble slabs Hamilton. Write a list of your top priorities and take it to your professional dealer who will guide you through your design and selection process. Take your time and relish in the wonderful possibilities for transforming your home with granite and marble slabs Hamilton. Martha Stewart would approve!

Downtown Cudahy will be brimming with the sights, smells and sounds of summer this Friday as the City's annual farmers market opens for business at a new location on Packard Avenue.
The market has moved to the city parking lot next to the Cudahy Family Library. It's a larger and more visible location that will allow for a greater number of vendors and shoppers, as well as better parking.
More than a dozen farmers and other vendors will be coming to Cudahy on Fridays this spring, summer and fall. Shoppers will find fresh-cut flowers and produce in addition to packaged foods, crafts, jewelry and other specialty gift items.
But the opening of the 2010 Cudahy Farmers Market is bittersweet. Long-time market organizer and Cudahy resident Mike Pinter died last week at the age of 82. Over the last several years he had been responsible for all aspects of the market, and had gotten to know many of the farmers who come to Cudahy every year.
"Mr. Pinter's outstanding dedication to this community should serve as an example to all Cudahy residents ", said Mayor Tony Day. "He not only donated his time and talents to the Farmers Market but also to the historical society and the library. He will be deeply missed."
The Cudahy Farmers Market will be open every Friday from noon until 6:00 p.m. through the end of October, weather permitting.

What was your favorite wedding photo?
Loved the pictures of us walking on the beach after the wedding. Pictures were of us laughing and enjoying one another
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
It was like she wasn't even there. She was in the background. Upon receiving my pictures, I didn't even know she took half of them because she was indiscreet.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Shelley met with us prior to the wedding. She made an effort to get to know our history, style, etc. It made it so much more personable.

N.B. Nails, located at 280 N. Business 35, is their second location and is celebrating its grand opening through May I. But opening and operating a successful business wasn't an easy road for the Huynhs. Tom Huynh said he Tom Huynh came with his parents to the United States from Vietnam when he was 6 years old. "My parents came over a little bit after the Vietnam War," he said. "Everyone there wanted to leave." Tammy Huynh came with her parents when she was 15 or 16 years old, he said. "We first came to Greenville, S.C. I can't remember when we moved to New Braunfels," he said. Huynh said his wife worked for a New Braunfels nail salon owned by Linda Nguyen, who wanted to sell it. He said he wanted to buy the salon but only could come up with $2000 and had no credit. "Linda sold us the salon and let us make payments," he said. Huynh said he ultimately sold that salon three years ago and he and his wife began moving around looking for other locations to start a nail salon. "We went to Chicago, Iowa, Missouri and Austin, but we came back to New Braunfels," he said. "The customers here are very friendly. All of our employees say the customers here are nice and friendly." *< rtnti tfcnM Photos by DAVID INGRAM Herald-Zeitung N.B.

Most nail salons in New Braunfels are owned by Vietnamese people, he said. "Model Nails, U.S. Nails, most of them are," he said. The salon's nail technicians are licensed by the state of Texas, and Huynh said the beauty schools make it easier for the foreign students to learn.
