All the elements in Group 2 burn in O2 to form metallic oxide. BeO is usually made by burning of the metal, but the other metal oxides are usually obtained by thermal decomposition of the carbonates, MCO3.
The alkaline earth metals are less electropositive than the alkali metal, thus the oxides of alkaline earth metals are less basic than those of alkali metals. On descending the Group 2, the oxides become more basic due to increase in the electropositive character of the metals.
BeO is an amphoteric oxide. It dissolves in acids to give salts, and in alkalis to give beryllates, which on standing precipitate as hydroxides. Peroxides are formed with increasing ease and increasing stability as the size of metal ions becomes larger.
BaO2 and SrO2 can be made by passing air over BaO at elevated temperature and pressure.
MgO2 and CaO2 is made by reacting Ca(OH)2 with H2O2 and then dehydrating the product. No peroxide of beryllium is known.
Except Be(OH)2, all other hydroxides are basic. The base strength increases on descending the group.
Be(OH)2 is an amphoteric hydroxide.
Mg(OH)2 is a weak base.
Ca(OH)2 and Sr(OH)2 are moderately strong bases.
Ba(OH)2 is a very strong base.
Solution of Ca(OH)2 is known as lime water while that of Ba(OH)2 is known as baryta solution. Both these solutions are used to detect carbon dioxide.
Ca(OH)2 + CO2 CaCO3 + H2O Ca(HCO3)2
lime water milkyness disappear
turns milky
The solubility of hydroxides increases on descending the group (fig. 10.15).
The solubility of an ionic salt depends on the following two factors.
- Lattice Energy
It is the energy released when the requisite number of gaseous ions are converted into 1 mol of crystalline lattice. Higher the lattice energy more tightly the ions are held together in the crystal, less will be its tendency to split into ions to pass over to the solution, i.e. less will be its solubility.
- Hydration Energy
It is the heat released when the dissolved ions get hydrated in the solution. Higher the hydration energy, the more heat released and thus higher is the solubility.
Higher the lattice energy, lesser the solubility and higher the hydration energy, more the solubility.
Carbonates and Bicarbonates
Alkaline earth metals form solid carbonates. Bicarbonates are known only in solution because of the less basic character of alkaline earth metals. The thermal stability of carbonates increases on descending the group. The decomposition temperatures are as follows:
BeCO3 MgCO3 CaCO3 SrCO3 BaCO3
As the size of M2+ ion is increased on descending the group, its polarization power on CO32- decreases making carbonate more stable. The solubility of carbonates decreases on descending the group. In case of carbonates, the size of CO ion is large. The changes in the size of metallic ions from Be2+ to Ba2+ do not make much difference in the lattice energy. However, the change in hydration energy is more predominant which decreases regularly from Be2+ to Ba2+ causing the decrease in the solubility as we go from Be to Ba.
The solubility of the sulphates of Group 2 metals decreases down the group.
BeSO4 and MgSO4 are soluble.
CaSO4 is sparingly soluble.
SrSO4, BaSO4 and RaSO4 are virtually insoluble.
In case of sulphates, the size of SO42- is large. The changes in size of metallic ions from Be2+ to Ba2+ do not make much difference in the lattice energy. However, the changes in hydration energy is more predominant which decreases regularly from Be2+ to Ba2+ causing the decrease in the solubility as we go from Be to Ba.
All sulphates decompose on heating;
The thermal stability increases on descending the group. The decomposition temperatures are
BeSO4 MgSO4 CaSO4 SrSO4
As the size of M2+ ion is increased on descending the group, its polarization effect on SO42- decreases making sulphate more stable.
Alkaline earth metals form hydrated nitrate when crystallized from aqueous solutions. Heating the hydrated solids does not give the anhydrous nitrate because the solid decomposes to the oxide.
Anhydrous nitrates can be prepared by treating chloride with liquid N2O4 in ethyl acetate. Beryllium is an exception which gives a basic nitrate in addition to the anhydrous nitrate.
Becl2 Be(NO3)2.2N2O4 Be(NO3)2 [Be4O(NO3)6] N2O4
Basic beryllium acetate, [Be4O(CH3COO)6], has a similar structure.
Alkaline earth metals combine directly with halogens to form halides of the type MX2 at the appropriate temperature. They can also be prepared by treating metals or their carbonates with halogen acids.
Beryllium chloride is readily prepared from the metal oxide
BeO + C + Cl2 BeCl2 + CO
It cannot be prepared in aqueous solution due to the formation of hydrated ion [Be(H2O)4]2+. The halides obtained has the molecular formula [Be(H2O)4]Cl2, [Be(H2O)4]F2, etc. It cannot be dehydrated by heating as it undergoes hydrolysis.
[Be(H2O)4]Cl2 Be(OH)2 + 2HCl + 2H2O
Beryllium halides are covalent and fume in air due to hydrolysis:
BeCl2 + 2H2O Be(OH)2 + 2HCl
In vapour phase it is present as BeCl2 and (BeCl2)2 and in solid phase it is polymerized.
monomer dimer
In the polymerized beryllium chloride, a halogen atom bonded to one beryllium atom uses a lone pair of electrons to form a coordinate bond to another beryllium atom. Two such halogens are present in between two beryllium atoms.
The halides of calcium, strontium and barium are essentially electrovalent and dissolve in water to give neutral solutions. They are hygroscopic and form hydrates like CaCl2 6H2O and MgCl2 6H2O. Anhydrous CaCl2 is a well-known drying agent. Anhydrous MgCl2 is used in the electrolytic extraction of magnesium.
Alkaline earth metals have a stronger tendency to form complexes than do alkali metals. This is because of their smaller size and high charge. The tendency of complex formation decreases down the group.
Beryllium forms many complexes like BeF42-, [Be(H2O)4]2+, [Be(C2O4)2]2-, [Be4O(Ac)6], etc. Of the others, only Mg and Ca show more tendency to form complexes in solution, and these are usually with oxygen-donor ligands.
In most cases beryllium is tetra coordinated in complexes and the tetrahedral arrangement adopted corresponds to sp3 hybridization of beryllium orbitals. These are the orbitals (2s and three 2p) which are available in the valence shell of beryllium atom. The structures of beryllium oxalate complex and basic beryllium acetate are as follows:
The most important complex formed by magnesium is chlorophyll, the green plant pigment. It is vital for the photosynthesis of sugars in plants. Both magnesium and calcium form complexes with strong complexing agents like ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA).

Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are expected to meet at the Vatican Sunday for what is being called an intense prayer session with Pope Francis.
The unexpected invitation was extended during the pope's recent visit to the Middle East, where Francis engaged in the kind of photo opportunities that popes usually avoid. He stopped at the barrier erected around the Palestinian territories and at an Israeli memorial for victims of terrorism.
On the plane home, Pope Francis told reporters he is not getting involved in the stalled peace process.
Nonetheless, said Daniel Petri at the Catholic University of America in Washington, the invitation is a bold move.
"If something happens, it's tremendous. Pope Francis is the miracle worker of the Middle East," he said.
The pope is already seen as a maker of miracles by many of his followers. His prayer vigil for peace in Syria on Sept. 7, 2013, was followed by an agreement a week later that prevented U.S. air strikes over the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons.
Christopher Hale of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good has argued in Time magazine that the pope's accomplishments in the Middle East have shown him to be the world's best politician.
But Petri, a doctoral candidate, argued in a rebuttal that there have been tens of thousands of fatalities in the Syrian conflict, as well as new allegations of chemical attacks, since the pope's prayer.
"To claim it a success, I think, is wrong, morally and intellectually," he said, adding that the symbolism of the pope's actions is what's important.
Sunday's prayer meeting will follow a morning Pentecost service in St. Peter's Square. It's far from clear that anything concrete can be offered by the two political leaders. Peres is nearing the end of his term as Israeli president, and Abbas recently swore in a unity government including Hamas, which advocates the destruction of Israel.
Short of a miracle, the main thing the Vatican prayer session can be counted on to produce is an image of a peace effort, with the pope at the center.

|John Salthouse
Simon Lodge was an articled clerk employed the firm of Robson and Renshaw who were appointed by Renee Bradshaw to process her application for an off-premises licence for the sale of alcoholic goods from the Corner Shop. Annie Walker was a vehement opponent of the application and put in a formal objection. Lodge called into the Rovers and asked for a glass of wine but Annie lied that her supplies had been drunk dry the evening before and he opted for half a bitter instead. Lodge reported this to Renee as he enquired after the petition she was running and told her that the lack of choice in the pub would be of help to her in her winning her case.
Later on, Terry Bradshaw let slip in the pub who Lodge was. Annie accused Renee of sending in spies and banned Renee from the Rovers. Renee retaliated by banning Annie from the Corner Shop.

Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your Envoy. Anyone who operates a GMC knows that when it comes to repairing their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. You bought your Envoy because its dependability and longevity appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Car aficionados know that strong looks is built into each GMC, and know that only the best replacement Envoy parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
The key to engine power is clean fuel and clean air. Your GMC Envoy uses a paper or cloth air filter to remove dust and debris from the air stream before it enters the intake manifold, mixes with your fuel, and gets detonated. If your engine did not have an air filter or air cleaner, your fuel would be filled with particulates from outside. This will plug up your injectors and rob your engine of fuel; making it difficult for your engine to generate power. And unless your GMC Envoy air filter is replaced regularly your engine will be robbed of the necessary air flow needed to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. Clearly, replacement air filters are a necessity for everyone.
Buying new GMC parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Envoy parts on the internet. Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. When your GMC requires a new replacement Air Filter & Cleaner, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right GMC Envoy Air Filter & Cleaner for your 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 model.

AC is controlled by the management and even though it was warm it was turned off. Although rooms were very clean, noise level was very loud. Food in osteria was okay, however, although they list items ala carte, they refused to serve us unless we took the 4 course dinner. Senior management was extremely rude, so obvious that junior management kept apologizing. This lasted our full stay of 3 days.
Hotel is located about 50 feet next to their other hotel that has been under construction for years. Looks like they stopped altogether. We had 3 rooms with a total of 7 people and we all agree this hotel misrepresents themselves and travelers should look elsewhere.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

These are the secrets of the restaurant "Il Grecale", pride of our hotel known among the best restaurants on the Island. Together with fish, the Pizza. Made with doughs obtained from traditional flours, is elevated to the rank of traditional dish of excellence. The Spa "Grotta delle Muse" is an enchanting place, harmonious and seductive where taking care of body and soul to enjoy some moments of genuine wellness. Our Spa welcomes guests with its swimming pool with whirlpool, geysers and water jets, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, emotional shower and its massages and beauty treatments.

At dusk, Indulge yourself the pleasure of a refined drink in the bar ... and then in the evening everything becomes glam and the pool is transformed into a spectacular fountain brightening of colors and water games. The Collection "La Gaipa" It's a collection of archaeological reperts mostly original from the Magna Grecia and dated between the fifth and fourth century BC. These pieces are complemented by others Egyptians, Romans and Byzantines. The collection offers you an overview of the cultures that have alternated in Akragas which was among the most important crossroads of the Mediterranean. The pieces come exclusively from acquisitions made abroad with the intention to actively promote the return to Italy of its archaeological heritage.

The Tourism Development and Investment Company, the master developer of Saadiyat Island, has sold 285 apartments to a joint venture between Pramerica and Mubadala.
Abu Dhabi's TDIC sells Saadiyat flats to Mubadala venture
The Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC), the master developer of Saadiyat Island, has sold 285 apartments to a joint venture between the United States-based property investor Pramerica and the Abu Dhabi state investment fund Mubadala.
In a stock market announcement yesterday the companies announced that the 50/50 Mubadala Pramerica Real Estate Investors (MPREI) joint venture had bought the entire first phase of Saadiyat Beach Residences gated community for an undisclosed sum.
The three five-storey blocks of flats, which were completed last year and are 80 per cent let, will be owned by MPREI. But under the terms of the deal, the property is subject to a five-year leaseback to TDIC, the master developer of major tourism, cultural and residential destinations in Abu Dhabi. TDIC will continue to manage the leasing.
A second phase of 210 flats on the island, which is scheduled to be completed in the third quarter of the year, has not been included in the deal.
The deal represents a key step for MPREI, which was set up in 2010 in an attempt to create investment opportunities for itself and to sell to fund property projects, including affordable residential properties for nurses, engineers, technicians, teachers and other mid-income professionals.
"This transaction demonstrates the quality of the real estate investment opportunities in Abu Dhabi today," said Joe Bonner, the chief investment officer for MPREI. "Saadiyat is becoming a true destination for the region and one which holds the prospect of strong financial returns for our business."
Gaston Urda, of Mubadala and a member of the MPREI board of directors, said: "The real estate market in Abu Dhabi and the broader GCC provides exciting investment opportunities, and through our joint venture we aim to attract long-term investors to the real estate sector."
For TDIC, which last year transferred three of its prime hotel properties to its parent company, the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, in exchange for converting government loans into grants, the extra cash will come as a boost.
TDIC announced a Dh2.1bn loss last year, almost double that of 2011. The company, established in 2006, recorded losses of Dh1.15bn in 2010, Dh551 million in 2009 and Dh368.6m in 2008. More promisingly, revenues rose from Dh333.8m in 2011 to nearly Dh1.3bn last year, and the company ended the year with Dh2.4bn in cash on hand.
The company last year said it was also considering selling packages of land around the proposed New York University campus on Saadiyat to investors.
Ahmed Al Fahim, the executive director of marketing, communications, sales and leasing at TDIC, commented: "This important acquisition by MPREI is a reflection of the high level of interest from global investors in Saadiyat and the local real estate market. We are confident that our exclusive residential communities will continue to attract interest from high-calibre global investors."

Bismarck, ND
Living in Bismarck
Bismarck is not only the capitol of North Dakota, but it also is the state's epicenter for many other reasons. This charming city is a place that is always pushing forward while never forgetting the scope or importance of its vibrant history. The most obvious cultural tie with the past is one that is inextricably liked to the Native Americans who inhabited the area centuries ago. Their influence is still very much alive in the art and history that are dramatically highlighted in Bismarck's museums and historical sites. Additionally, the array of Bismarck's of arts and entertainment and yearly festivals and celebrations is equally impressive. And if you're wanting to take the family out for a day of fun, there's no better destination than the Dakota Zoo, which is not only one of the most popular attractions, but is also the largest zoo in the state. Clearly, Bismarck is one of those cities that proudly looks back at its impressive history while maintaining a sharp focus on the future, and that is something that is obvious to anyone who spends some quality time here.

|Savannah McCulloch
|Savannah McCulloch
|Lochheath, Scotland
|Student, Painter
|Signs of Life
Savannah McCulloch was a student at Robert Burns College in Lochheath, Scotland who learned under Art Professor Jeff Hadley. Savannah and Jeff eventually became an item, and would spend most of their time together at Jeff's cottage where they would sketch, paint, and make love.
When Jeff was offered the chance to be honoured at the Newton Museum of Art in Sydney, he took it and informed Savannah of it. What he neglected to inform her of was that she would not be accompanying him to Sydney, he figured that since he would not leave until weeks later, he would have the perfect opportunity to let her down gently. He failed to do so, and left Savannah heartbroken and alone when he left.
After Jeff had left for Sydney, Savannah, feeling ill, visited her gynecologist and learned that she was pregnant. Not knowing what to do, she finally decided to seek Jeff out after she found a drawing of a plane with the number 815 written on it. Savannah rushed to the airport, but while on the way there, was involved in an accident which caused the glass from the windshield to slice her wrists, killing her and the child she was carrying.
Savannah later appeared on the island in a vision to Jeff and forgave him for everything that he had done back in Scotland.

|Please note: This article is about the Kaiu Daimyo. For other uses of the term, please see Iemasa (disambiguation).
|Kaiu Iemasa
|Kaiu Daimyo
Kaiu Iemasa was the Kaiu Daimyo and a member of the Legion of the Jade Hand.
Kaiu Daimyo Edit
Iemasa, who had been appointed as sensei at the Kaiu Engineering School in 1168, succeeded Kaiu Umasu as daimyo of the Kaiu family of the Crab Clan, after his assassination in 1170. When the Destroyers overrun the Crab territory, Iemasa and his command staff withdrew into Scorpion lands. From there he directed the use of new, smaller siege weapons, which were effective in slowing the Destroyers' advance. [1]
Scorpion Wall Edit
In 1173 the death of Kali-Ma in the Scorpion lands created the Second Festering Pit. [2] Iemasa was tasked by the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Miyako with the construction of the Scorpion Wall, which would resemble the Kaiu Wall, defending the Empire from the portal opened to Jigoku. In 1175 Hida Demopen was appointed by the Crab Clan Champion Hida Reiha to command the combined Crab-Scorpion forces that defended the wall builders. [3]
Colonies Edit
Siege of the Second City Edit
In 1198 the Ikoma Daimyo Ikoma Hakige presented to the Imperial Court the accounts of the Siege of the Second City. The Second City had surrendered to the Ninth Imperial Legion and the escapee Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime had been stricken from their family rolls by the Otomo. The Kuni Daimyo Kuni Renyu was instrumental to finish the siege in a quick way, instead a more longer but bloodless conflict. [4] The Crane Clan Champion Doji Makoto argued that Renyu had thwarted any possibility to come to an end through diplomacy, but he chose to devolve into senseless violence. Iemasa claimed the Kuni Daimyo had acted with true loyalty to the Imperial Throne, and his words were backed by the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Nitoshi. [5] The Kaiu contributed greatly to the reconstruction of the Second City after the chaos ended,and Iemasa considered the task his most glorious exit from this life. [6]
Sensei Edit
Iemasa became a sensei who passed his knowledge to the next generations. [7]

Cat Shaker May Surprise in Classic
Sitting in the stakes barn at Turfway Park two days before the Kentucky Cup Classic (gr. III), Craig Callis still has a hard time believing that a $2,300 yearling purchase actually brought him here.
Sitting in the stakes barn at Turfway Park two days before the Kentucky Cup Classic (gr. III), Craig Callis still has a hard time believing that a $2,300 yearling purchase actually brought him here.
A field of 10 was entered for Saturday's $1 million Arkansas Derby (gr. II), and although two of the "Big Three" stabled at Oaklawn this winter will run, it is not quite what the Hot Springs track had envisioned.
Cat Shaker, upset winner of the Rushaway Stakes at Turfway Park on the Lane's End Stakes (gr. II) undercard March 26 is headed toward next Saturday's Arkansas Derby (gr. II), according to owner Bill Callis.
The Twin Spires are out there somewhere. We should see them once the fog lifts. The crystal clear path that once was the Kentucky Derby (gr. I) trail is no more. No matter how we analyze, theorize, or just plain romanticize, we all meet this time every year at the same crossroads, with no idea in which direction we're heading.
Godolphin Racing's Blues and Royals, who won the March 26 UAE Derby (UAE-III) by 12 lengths, is among 14 late nominees to the Visa Triple Crown.
Bill Callis' Cat Shaker, sent off at odds of 38-1, ran down the loose pacesetter Daddy Joe in the $100,000 Rushaway for 3-year-olds at muddy Turfway Park Saturday as 2-5 favorite Proud Accolade failed to fire.
Padua Stables' Proud Accolade, winner of the seven-furlong Hutcheson Stakes (gr. II) earlier this year, seeks to get back on track after overcoming an illness in Saturday's $100,000 Rushaway Stakes at Turfway Park. The 1 1/16-mile race is part of Lane's End Stakes (gr. II) day at the northern Kentucky track.

Fubar:A novel of deception By Ron Carpol This is one of the funniest, raunchiest books I have ever read. Pick it up!
Baseball is life
Just finished up "Secret Life of Lobsters" by Trevor Corson on a recent weekend trip.
I took several books with me, figuring I would be flipping back and forth, but I couldn't put it down, to be honest.
The book intersects the life of lobsters, lobster fisherman and the scientists who study lobsters, all in a tight area known as the Gulf of Maine over a 10-15 year period. As you can imagine, those interests go in conflicting directions.
I found it light, funny (sometimes laugh out loud funny at lobster behavior) with just enough science in it to quench that bug but not too much to make it overwhleming. There is a huge section on Lobster mating and housing that was fascinating as well as just bizarre.
That book turned me onto another book, "Cod" by Mark Kurlansky, because cod, and the lack of them in the gulf of maine, is discussed at length in the Corson book.
I've read another Kurlansky book, "Salt", and this is very similiar.
Kurlansky has an interesting proposition in the book, that the pursuit of cod by the portuguese, the Nordic and the Basque people, would have meant that they discovered the Labrador coast off of Canada long before Christopher Columbus set sail.
I'm not a big fisherman, but Cod was another page turner, a short book.
Oddly enough, or perhaps, ironicly, I was in a bookstore here in town and I had the chance to meet Clive Cussler, who's a famous fiction writer about shipwrecked boats. Talking with him, even though I'm not a fiction reader, I picked up the first of his new "Numa" series of books, "Serpent" and I'm reading it now. Different than non-fiction, that's for sure. Characters strike me as a little too perfect, model-esq and blemish free for my taste, but the story line is solid.
Screenwriters Workbook by Syd Field
I think I'm in the minority on this, but I found it to be one of the worst written bestsellers I've ever read in my life. Great story, and I'm sure the movie will be compelling, but found the writing to be embarrasingly clumbsy and square. Dan Brown went to my high school.Originally Posted by jmcclain19

|1,300 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Step into Paradise when you enter the secluded sun drenched shores of Puako Beach. It's natural beauty is enriched by it's history of being an ancient Hawaiian Fishing Village. Our condo sits next to the ocean, and is the most affordable three bedroom, two full baths with all the amenities you will need to feel totally comfortable during your stay. The Village is made up of Million Dollar Luxury Beachfront Homes, our condo complex, and the General Store next door. There are seven beach access areas, where you will find incredible swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, surfing, or whatever makes you happy! You can stroll the coral reefs, find hundreds of tide pools, watch dolphins at play, and it's also home to the Green Sea Turtles, that bask in the sun along the shoreline. During the winter months you can watch the Whales migration.
Hidden away, between several major resorts, yet close to everything, Puako Beach is the 'Hidden Treasure'
of the gorgeous Kahala Coastline
Paradise awaits you as you enter Puako Beach!: This is the most affordable 3 bedroom two bath condo, next to ocean, with all the amenities needed,
in Puako Beach.
Puako is my idea of a perfect place to stay. It's small and charming, with a quaint country store and walkable streets. Why stay in a cookie cutter resort? This condo is typical of the time it was built, unpretentious and comfortable. Although unit is on the first floor, it is very quiet and the shrubs shield the lanai so it doesn't feel exposed (just ask the gekkos). Having 2 full bathrooms is a big plus. The small galley style kitchen is well equipped (I'd love to see a liquid measuring cup,but that's just me). The condo has a closet of assorted beach gear to use and lots of towels. The washer & dryer came in handy and we used the gas grill daily. Bedrooms all have ceiling fans. (NOTE: keeping sliding doors and entry door open allows air to flow freely and condo stays cool ) The condo bldg has a great pool or you could walk a few minutes to access Puako bay for swimming and snorkeling. The building has recycling bins (yeah!! - I love to recycle - feels like home) Bonus feature: building has its own lemon, lime, and grapefruit trees and we were lucky enough to get some of the fruit.
Puako is centrally located and we easily drove up and down the coast for touring , beaching (Hapuna and A' beach), and shopping. I highly recommend going to the local fish market in Kawaihae ( on Hgwy 270, about a 10 minute drive) and across the street from the fish market is Avenue Shave Ice, the BEST shave ice we found on the island.
The condo owner is very nice to work with and takes time to make sure instructions and everything are in order. She even called me by phone to answer my questions directly rather than play tag with email. It's chancey to rent off the web, but Karen is trustworthy.
I'm saving my pennies to go back there.
My husband and I really enjoyed staying in this Puako Beach Condo. Even though it was just the two of us we rented this three bedroom condo because it was the best deal we could find in the area. And it was so much more than just a great deal! Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and there are good beach items to borrow (boogie boards, umbrella...priceless! coolers)This is a great place to call home while you go play on the beautiful Big Island. Location, location, location.....right across the street and down one block is access to the ocean. We took a nightly stroll to watch the sunset and look for whales and turtles. There are many wonderful beaches very near that are the perfect place to spend the day. The owner is very easy to work with and the resident manager is a joy. I highly recommend this place if you want the to stay in the Kohala District but don't want the prices of the big resorts.
We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at this Puako Beach Condo! It was clean and well-stocked with everything that we needed for our Big Island Vacation. Our family of four (my husband and our two elementary age boys) felt completely at home here. We ate most of our meals here and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The ceiling fans, fans, and the trade winds kept the condo cool and comfortable both in the day and for sleeping.
The nearest beach access was a short walk across the street and less than 25 yards down the road. The closet was well-stocked with beach toys, boogie boards, beach mats and chairs, and snorkel equipment. The nearest beach had a sandy area and had many interesting tide pools, which my boys loved. One day we even saw sea turtles. There were plenty of places to snorkel in the area and we especially enjoyed snorkeling and playing at Waimea Beach (Beach 69). The pool was perfect size for my two boys to enjoy.
The owner is easy to work with and the resident manager is very helpful and friendly. The grounds around the condo are beautiful and we were frequently able to enjoy fresh fruit and flowers from the garden around the complex.
We would definitely stay here again if we visited this side of the Big Island again and would recommend it to anyone staying in the area.
If you are looking for no frills, and a place to stay this is it. The unit is serviceable, but extremely dated. The kitchen counter is at an odd height, which makes it inconvenient for cooking. The bathrooms need a little updating, as does the living room furniture. That said, the beds are pretty comfortable, and she provides a lot of the extra stuff you might need, like boogie boards and the like. The location at the end of Puako is convenient. As I said, no frills, but adequate.
You can't beat the price and the location to the beach and ocean front. Puako and Wailea Bay are our favorite places to stay.
Pros: great price made a longer stay possible, 3 bedrooms, lots of beach gear, comfortable mattress (king), nice pool, beautiful grounds with lots of fruit and flowers, accomodating owner and manager answered our requests for better pots and pans (stainless), an extra cleaning and some natural fiber blankets.
Cons: bedding was disappointing (pillows and sheets - only the king had natural fiber sheets, foam pillows), living room is small with oversized furniture (old, large crumbling leather couch), balcony furniture and table were also too large, bathroom vanities were very dated (sinks abraded, lights not fully working and old, showerheads old and ablative), lack of decoration/style (but that is better than poor decoration), super low kitchen counter made meal prep difficult....not a gourmet kitchen...missing some basics. (colander, salad spinner, more good plates, more serving dishes). Could use an update in furnishings with a consistent style.
I think next time we will pay a little bit more for an updated condo on a higher floor with a view of the ocean. When you travel with children you tend to spend more time in your room/unit so you want it to be nice.
Where we're coming from: We are environmentally conscious and prefer natural and organic food and furnishings, with a Dwell style (natural, modern).
We had a great time at this condo. We've previously stayed in rental homes in Puako, but have become priced out of those options. This condo was just perfect for our group. Comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, small but well-equipped kitchen, and best of all, a two minute walk to the beach. This is not a "fancy" place as others have noted, but it is clean, comfortable, and allowed us a lovely ten days in our favorite spot in Hawaii. The gear closet has what you need for a great beach day, and the location really cannot be beat. Friendly neighbors and a friendly vibe overall. We'll be back!
Puako Beach is about 30 miles from Kailua Kona, 25 miles from the Kona Airport, on the beautiful Kahala Coastline. The home of The Parker Ranch, the town of Waimea, is only 12 miles up the hill, where there are great restaurants, two major grocery stores, and many other shops and stores. From Waimea, go another 20 miles or so, and you can be at Waipio Valley, a breathtakingly beautiful tourist attraction, with waterfalls, and a Black sand beach. Hapuna Beach, one of the top 10 beaches in the world, is two miles away from Puako Beach.

If the label of this article was "Why A Forex Trading Profit Is Your Best Friend" next you'd belike cognizance that this was a perfectly likely title, but how on loam can any Forex dealer scenery the arrival of a trading loss in the aforementioned way that he would perspective the start of a better friend? Well, I'll let you into a confidential - the maximum booming traders do lately that.
Many years ago a nifty soul of hole in the ground started a new job as an life insurance salesperson and I don't reckon I'd of all time seen any person so unemployed up and arranged to go. When I saw him a period or so subsequent conversely he was absolutely sad and had near his new job.
The idiosyncrasy he had encountered was a ubiquitous tribulation in this and many another remaining industries - that or human action. In dictation to earn his administrative body he had to brainstorm possible trade and that intended feat on the touchtone phone and refrigerating line of work group in the anticipation of state competent to brand name an rendezvous beside them to talk about their protection desires. Now this was a naive decent manoeuvre (the institution even gave him phone research and a characters to stalk) but cardinal contemporary world out of ten he would founder to get an naming and he saw the rejection of his speech act as a letdown on his part. After a twosome of weeks of lining ruin day after day, he simply couldn't frontage picking up the telephone.Post ads:

The lawfulness of the situation was of educational activity that he had not failing at all and that determination one causal agency out of ten agreed at impulsive who was ready to settle to a right-down interloper astir their protection necessarily was actually pretty good enough active. What he had full-fledged was relative quantity much than the way the cover commercial enterprise complex and the trouble didn't lie in the fact that his approaches were mortal rejected, but in the information that he had understood this as anyone a washout on his part.
Now you're in all likelihood asking yourself at this point freshly what this content has to do next to Forex commercialism and the answer is primitive. Every day relatives miss intuition and take off the Forex market because, after several spoilt trades, they see themselves as having spoilt and, simply close to my protection salesperson friend, they curve what is zilch more than than a modal component part of commercialism into a in the flesh nonachievement.
Losses are an predictable cut of the trading spectator sport and even the best successful traders have trades that put in the wrong place them ready money both day. They take over from still because they accept financial loss as a part of the pack of inborn commerce and concordat near their losses suitably.Post ads:

Successful insurance salesmen in actuality similar human being rejected cardinal nowadays out of ten because, knowing that it is an predictable sector of the job, they decide to orientation respectively thumbs down as bringing them one footfall nearer to that ring when they'll form an meeting. As they receive one act after the subsequent their spirits certainly rocket because they cognize they're getting human to that proud telephone.
In the planetary of Forex trading no event how slap-up you are at analyzing the flea market you're not going to get it precisely all incident and whichever trades will go antagonistic you. But all losing wholesale not lonesome provides you beside a dear study experience but as well brings you one pace person to your adjacent gainful wholesale.
Accepting loses as a everyday cut of commercialism and part of the pack of the dynamics of the market, fairly than showing all loss as a of their own failure, is right one of the oodles property that disconnect the jubilant traders from those that simply gather by or establish that perhaps Forex commercialism is not for them.

|Reviews for Five times Riley bumped his head
| Kaitlin chapter 1 . 8/1/2012
Poor Riley. I really miss him. I loved how his last injury tied in so well with the actual storyline and his death. It makes it so much more believable that TJ wanted to stay with him, because they shared a special friendship. Thank you for that.

We've had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. I haven't bought a thing! This fashionista has been in straight up hibernation mode!!! I'm slowly coming out of it… I think!! Lately, I've been more interested in accessories. I'm all about taking something simple and making it pop with statement jewelry. That being said, I signed up with Kimora's new venture, Just Fab I'm a fan of the diva and after the Baby Phat fiasco, I wondered where she would end up next. When I heard about Just Fab, I decided to give it a shot. It's kind of like Shoe Dazzle or Sole Society. You sign up and submit your style and you are emailed choices once a month to fit your style. While Shoe Dazzle and Sole Society focus on shoes Just Fab does shoes, bags, clothes and jewelry. I guess it makes sense that they'd offer more overall fashion pieces given Kimora's background.
Honestly, I haven't been in love with the shoes so far. They're just not my style for the most part. What has gotten my attention is the jewelry. There have been some real stunners on the site. I had been checking this particular necklace for a while and then they offered up a discount so, I made the plunge and ordered it.
I love all of the chunky rhinestones! It's such a statement piece but still pretty simple. I am so excited to wear it. Oh, I imagine slipping it on with an all black get up or a simple jeans and a crisp, white shirt. I have plans for this dang necklace. It's actually pretty perfect with all the holiday parties coming up. Have you tried justfab.com or any sites like it?
*I was not paid for or asked to do this post. Just thought I'd share my latest fashion/style find!

The members of our dedicated Social Work team believe strongly in the education of future social work professionals. Having benefited from a diverse range of student placement experiences during our own education, we recognize the commitment to social work students as the future of our profession.
Our Social Work Internship program offers second-year MSW students the opportunity to learn medical social work from highly skilled clinicians. During the internship, students will participate in all aspects of medical social work – following patients and their families from diagnosis through discharge and end of life care.
Interns are assigned a field instructor who guides the intern through the world of pediatric medical social work. Interns are valued members of the Social Work program within the Department of Family Services and complete their field work with invaluable skills and an understanding of the complexities of medical social work.
Interns are expected to participate actively in their own education by completing weekly supervision and attending monthly education sessions.
There are no intern stipends offered at Children's National. All interns are required to be cleared through a background investigation. Interns must meet our Occupational Health requirements which include completion of our medical form by your private physician and up to date immunizations. Currently there is no cost to the intern.
Social Work Internships are available for full academic year terms beginning in late August. Interns are expected to complete twenty to twenty four hours per week under the supervision of their field instructor.
We are no longer accepting applications for 2017-2018 academic year. All internship positions have been filled.

Improving the Performance of Harlan's FFI
My last post showed that it's now possible to call code written in Harlan from C++ programs. Sadly, the performance numbers I posted were pretty embarrassing. On the bright side, when you have a 20-30x slowdown like we saw before, it's usually pretty easy to get most of that back. In this post, we'll see how. The performance still isn't where I'd like to be, but when we're done today, we'll only be seeing about a 4x slowdown relative to CUBLAS.
Using Harlan in C++ Programs
So far, Harlan programs have primarily existed in a vacuum. You'd compile them, run them, and they might produce some output. Certainly none of them received any input from the outside world. Most of the test cases use small sets of data, and the larger benchmarks generated incredibly synthetic data, like a vector of 16 million ones. My focus has been on building the compiler itself, so this has been a tolerable situation up to this point. However, Harlan is at the point where it needs more realistic applications and it's clear the foreign function interface (FFI) story just won't cut it anymore.
How to write a simple Scheme debugger
A while back, Rich Loveland asked how one might write a Scheme debugger. I realized that I've written many a Scheme interpreter, but I've never really thought about how to write a debugger. This post is a first step down that path. We'll write what I'd consider a minimally functional debugger. It will allow you to break a running program into the debugger (albeit by invoking a primitive function in the program you're running) and then inspect the variables that are available. As an added bonus, you'll be able to evaluate arbitrary Scheme expressions from the debugger and even change the values of variables. For the moment, however, we will not support stepping program execution, which is admittedly an important feature of debuggers.
Visualizing the Turing Tarpit
Jason Hemann and I recently had a paper accepted at FARM called "Visualizing the Turing Tarpit." The idea grew out of a talk that Jason did at our weekly PL Wonks seminar on the minimalist programming languages, Iota and Jot. At the end of the talk, Ken Shan asked whether this could be used to do some kind of cool fractal visualization of programs. That night, several of us pulled out our computers and started hacking on Iota and Jot interpreters.
Why Write Compilers in Scheme?
One of the questions Klint Finley asked me for the Wired article about Harlan was "Why Scheme?" I wasn't really satisfied with my answer, so I thought I'd answer it more completely here. Besides the fact that we were already experienced writing compilers in Scheme, Scheme has a lot of features that are very useful to compiler writers.
Why is Harlan called Harlan?
One of the more unexpected things to have happened after releasing Harlan was that I was contacted by a couple of people who are named Harlan. One of the common questions about Harlan is actually where the name comes from, so I thought I'd take the time to tell the story here.
Announcing the release of Harlan
I am happy to announce that after about two years of work, I have made the code for Harlan available to the public.
What is Macro Hygiene?
One important, though surprisingly uncommon, feature of macro systems is that of hygiene. I mentioned in a previous post that I would eventually say something about hygiene. It turns out macro hygiene is somewhat tricky to define precisely, and I know a couple of people who are actively working on a formal definition of hygiene. The intuition behind hygiene isn't too bad though. Basically, we want our macros to not break our code. So how can macros break code?
Some Simple GPU Optimizations
One of the goals of designing a high level GPU programming language is to allow the compiler to perform optimizations on your code. One optimization we've been doing for a while in Harlan is one I've been calling "kernel fusion." This is a pretty obvious transformation to do, and many other GPU languages do it. However, kernel fusion comes in several different variants that I'd like to discuss.
Using Scheme with Travis CI
Early on in the development of the Harlan compiler, my collaborators and I realized we were spending a lot of time writing compilers that translate Scheme-like languages into C or C++. A lot of this code should be common between projects, so we decided to factor some of this code into the Elegant Weapons project. Elegant Weapons even had a trivial test suite. Unfortunately, because the primary consumer of Elegant Weapons was Harlan, the design was still far to specific to Harlan. As we realized when Nada Amin submitted a fix for the Elegant Weapons tests, we weren't even running our own tests anymore. Clearly we needed to do something better if Elegant Weapons were truly going to be a project worthy of existing on its own.

A man in his 30s died last night after being hit by a car in west London.
Two men, one of them the driver, have been arrested over the crash, which happened in Great West Road, Brentford, just before 10pm.
Medics from London Ambulance Service pronounced the victim dead 25 minutes later. Police said he had been on foot when the collision happened.
Great West Road was shut westbound between Gillette Corner and Wood Lane while police investigated the smash, but reopened at about 6.30am.Reuse content
