Haven't been, but have been researching. The Excellance Playa Mujeres is located outside of the Cancun hotel zone in the middle of nowhere. We have been there on tour drop off/pick up when we went to Cancun one time. If you want to go into Cancun for activities it can be an expensive taxi ride. I'm sure the hotel offers a shuttle a couple of times per day.
I would chose the Excallance Riviera Cancun, which is actually located in Puerto Morales between Cancun and Playa del Carmen just for location.
October is prime hurricane season. I would not venture to that area during that time. Never know about the weather and buying trip/hurricane insurance will not help for experiencing a bad vacation.
We have been to Mexico at least once per year since 2000. I find the pools way too cool to enjoy during the end of the year months. No issue with ocean temps though. I am finding that many of the hotels are now offering heated pools in the winter but only to the people who purchase their "Excellance" or "Royal" category rooms, which I find ridiculous. I would rather go to Cabo San Lucas, where most all the pools are heated there in the winter months.
For that time of year you would be better off in Aruba, Curacao, St. Lucia, Barbardos or Grenada weather wise. However, those destinations will probably cost 2 to 3 times more than Excellance and not offer any of the lux of those resorts.

Thanks KVR! Our friends that will be meeting us, don't want to do mexico anyhow! So, onto another spot! Do you know any good adult AI in the Carribean (not Jamaica, and not super crowded resorts!)

Here is a list of AI resorts in the Caribbean.
Galley Bay in Antigua
Cocobay in Antigua
Bavaro Princess All Suites Resort in the DR
Excellence Punta Cana in the DR

Palm Island Resort in St. Vincent & The Grenadines

I have been to Excellence Punta Cana. It is a wonderful resort on a great beach. It is about an hour ride from the airport.
Report Abuse
St Lucia, Barbados and Grenada have high rainfall during October, not to mention the risk of hurricanes in Grenada and St Lucia. St Lucia has suffered over the past few years. The hurricanes have started quite early this year. Barbados is a better bet,
Barbados is all about the west coast. Couples and Turtle Beach are not in the best part of the island, the sea is rougher, beach very nice though & close to nightlife, the area does not have the glitz and glamour of the west coast.
Report Abuse
In October there is no guarantee anywhere in the Caribbean or Mexico with regards to weather. You will always be taking a chance. The islands more South, you do have a better chance, but again not guaranteed. Always buy the hurricane/trip insurance in which you cancel your vacation for any reason, not just if your flight is canceled or your hotel closes.
The resorts listed above meet the OP criteria of a "smaller AI resort". Additional research on their part to determine which one best suits their need and expectations is required.
We travel every year the first week of November or the first week of December and never really had any issues with weather in Mexico or the Caribbean. The only problems we have had is getting in or out of the US airports do to weather there.

6 Things I Learned From a $1,000 an Hour Consultation
About half a year ago, I made the step of paying $1000 for an hour of somebody's time. I handed out that large amount just so I could pick his brain.
His name was Ryan Holiday, and in that hour Ryan taught me how to be a better writer.
And it wasn't just about writing per se. It was about standing out in your pursuit of your dreams.
It may sound crazy, to pay a thousand dollars for just an hour of somebody's time, but it's well worth it.
Sometimes, you just have to take the leap to make big strides in yourself.
1) You cannot play safe, so be afraid
I learnt that before I publish a new article on my blog, I absolutely have to feel afraid, anxious and uncomfortable.
This is not a cheesy idea where as if only artistic people can relate to on some spiritual level.
Look at it this way: If you're not afraid, anxious or the least bit uncomfortable, that means you're playing it safe.
And if you're safe, then you're like the rest of the world.
You cannot stand out if you're like the rest of the world, that is why you need to be afraid in the art you create.
So don't play safe. Be very afraid and get uncomfortable. Your passion, art and message are dying to come out.
2) Ask yourself, "Is this something only I can make?"
Ryan told me this,
"Before you publish an article, ask yourself, 'Is this something only YOU can show to the world?"
It sounds obvious enough, but I think it's something most of us miss out on.
We keep thinking we need to follow the rules and emulate our idols or those we look up to. As such, we forget that we have something special to say in the first place.
From time to time, we should give ourselves the benefit of the doubt that we're actually right, that our unique voice or message is something part of the world wants to hear.
You may not follow suit with the world, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. So trust your gut. That's how you relay your message.
3) Sometimes you need to feel the pinch
Did I feel like I was crazy for spending a thousand bucks just for an hour of somebody's time? I sure did.
But that's okay.
I knew I had to make that step. Anything less would mean that I'd take it for granted.
So sacrifice. Feel the pinch.
Most people in the world want freebies and discount to the point that they don't recognize the value of the great things they have.
You've way more than you think. If you really want something, then go all out for it.
4) If it works so well, why would they teach?
I think way too many of us are caught up in the rules of business and marketing. We think we need to follow the same path other marketers and entrepreneurs always try to teach.
And it's very easy to get trapped by them because they're seemingly successful.
But remember this: They managed to create their own path.
They're trying to make you follow the same path, but there'd never be enough space for you to tag along.
There'd be a time when you eventually have to follow your own instincts, break the rules and feel entirely uncomfortable all the way.
So just do it. Create your own experience and learn from them. Your experience will never lie to you, whereas what others teach you may be questionable.
5) "Good content is giving a piece of your own humanity, back to humanity."
That is the exact quote I was told.
Great content isn't just about following a set of rules or learning from a bunch of teachers.
You need to harness your own energy and tell the world what you're about; what your unique message really is. And no amount of mentors, coaches or courses can give you that. You can only learn so much from what others have to teach you.
Look deep within. Again, break some rules. If you've spotted something wrong in life and have something to say, say it.
The right people would appreciate you for that and those will eventually become your loyal fans.
6) The work is the goal
As a writer, I always thought that my eventual success would mean being "discovered" or experiencing some ultimate break.
But that is not the case. Why? Because that is like hoping to score the lottery and thinking that all your problems will be solved then.
You've to do the work every day. You've to put in the effort for all the little things all the time. You've to persevere even though there is not end in sight.
And with every small step you take, you'll get closer to your goal. With every small thing you do, you'll have created something big at the end.
Your just rewards will come eventually. You'll know it when you feel it.
So don't ever give up. Keep working hard and put in the daily work.
Alden…excellent article. That is all.
In relation to #1.
If you are certain of your abilities and believe in yourself, you can still push the limits in what you can achieve all while maintaining confidence.
Fear and anxiousness mainly comes from uncertainty. If you are uncertain, you will most likely hesitate or not perform well either.
Anyone can predict the possible outcomes before any action is taken. Knowing that one of these outcomes will happen regardless, you can use this to build on the emotions that will push you forward to achieve what you want.
If you instead focus on empowering emotions such as confidence and certainty, this will allow you to go further and then it's up to your desire and will to succeed.
Running with doubts and uncertainty is an uphill battle which is only going to hold you back from your full potential in the end.

Mint State's new EP, Hood Sessions is a thoughtful observation of the different relationships we are capable of having with music and with each other. Through their cohesive sound, undeniable rhythm and heartfelt lyrics, Mint State has created an EP that refuses to passively heard, but must be listened to with all of the attention it deserves.
The first track, "Far Away" pulls in the listener with a straightforward chord progression and drum beat. Throughout the track the guitar and drums subtly become more complex. The bass in this track adds a wonderful feeling of depth and complexity without drawing away from the rhythm and nuance of the guitar and drums. The lyric "She starts to speak no sound at all," really captures the idea of the futility in trying to maintain a relationship that is already breaking apart.
"Attention" explores a grave subject matter paired with an infectious rhythm. The beat propels the track forward through the sense of the endless repetition of that is so pervasive in warfare. The difference between the verse and chorus is particular pointent. The verses trudge along steadily while the chorus comes together in way that feels a bit chaotic compared to the rest of the track. It mirrors the way, in war, how there is seemingly endless marching interspersed with the chaos of battle.
In "Radio" the walking bass line is simply excellent. This track has a "feel good" vibe that instantly draws the listener into its feeling and message. This song makes you feel the music, in the way the lyrics describe the how music can draw you in. This track really gets the best of you.
"Stay Lit" narrowly takes its place as my favorite track of this EP. With light drums and instrumentation this track seems to float just within reach. The vocal harmonies add a wonderful level of depth to the song, a thoughtful choice considering the song is about a musician's relationship with creativity. It has an overall positive feel, though there is a certain feeling of longing that pervades the sound of this track.
Overall, this is EP is a wonderful experience that deserves a thoughtful and undistracted listen. The lyrics are wonderful to sing along with, the bass is delightfully nuanced without drawing attention away from the sound of the guitar pulled together with a great rhythm and beat. The end result is a seamless sound and feeling that forces its audience to pay attention and consider the world around them.

Following the revelation that Northern Ireland has taken blood from England, Scotland and Wales, every month since the life time ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood was lifted there, The Rainbow Project have said that the Ministers position on this issue is no longer tenable.
Back in September 2011 Minister Poots stated that he was not lifting the blanket ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood in Northern Ireland, to then change his position in November 2011 to say that he is still considering the issue. To date the Minister has still not come to a decision.
John O'Doherty, Director of The Rainbow Project(1) said, 'When The Rainbow Project presented evidence to the Health Committee we pressed members on the need for the Minister to make a decision. Experts have said that there is no significant safety risk to removing the lifetime ban and replacing it with a 12 month deferral period. As the Minister has not yet made a decision, Northern Ireland is now out of line with the rest of the UK. This is particularly ridiculous when you see Northern Ireland accepting blood from other parts of the UK which could have been donated by gay and bisexual men'.
At the same Committee meeting, Minister Poots stated (2), "we are perhaps not under as much pressure as other parts of the UK, so we do not need to rush into anything….. Northern Ireland is largely self-sufficient in blood. It is exceptional for us to receive blood from outside sources".
'The Minster says that he has taken advice and his current position is based on 'safety grounds', if that is the case, he needs to be fully transparent and share that advice and show the public how that differs from the expert advice of SaBTO(3). The situation we now have is one where gay and bisexual men in Northern Ireland can't donate blood for use in Northern Ireland, but gay and bisexual men in the rest of the UK can. When you consider that Northern Ireland has lower rates of HIV than any other part of the UK, it is ridiculous to say that this decision, or lack of decision, has been made on the basis of 'safety grounds'. The Health Minister needs to accept and publically acknowledge that we have amongst the safest blood screening processes in the world and that there is no significant risk to anyone by lifting the ban in Northern Ireland. His current position is not transparent, not rational and not tenable.'
1) The Rainbow Project is Northern Ireland's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGB&T) organisation; rights based, holistic and non-partisan. They provide services for LGB&T individuals including information and support, education and training, counselling, personal development courses, health promotion, advocacy, training, policy development as well as lobby at political and official level.
2) From the Hansard of the DHSSPS Committee meeting (26/10/11) the Minister said
"we are perhaps not as under as much pressure as other parts of the UK, so we do not need to rush into anything….. Northern Ireland is largely self sufficient in blood. It is exceptional for us to receive blood from outside sources"
3) SaBTO is the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs. They recommended the removal of the lifetime ban on donating blood for men who have sex with men to be replaced with a one year deferral period. England, Scotland and Wales accepted the recommendations and removed the blanket ban. http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_129796?ssSourceSiteId=ab

Dons hope over Hart
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood is hoping vice-captain Michael Hart will soon be signing a new contract with the club.
Last Updated: 13/09/07 4:02pm
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood is hoping vice-captain Michael Hart will soon be signing a new contract with the club.
Hart is out-of-contract at the end of the season and talks over a new deal stalled in pre-season,
However, Calderwood hopes that new talks with director of football Willie Miller will go well this week.
"Willie is going back to Michael with another offer," said Calderwood.
"I have a meeting with Willie scheduled for Friday and we will, hopefully, be able to move forward."
Hart is one of ten players out-of-contract at Pittodrie this summer and Calderwood admits he does fear that the finances may not be in place to keep the players he wants.
"There is always going to be a problem financially but we have to think we have a chance of keeping them," said Calderwood.
"A lot depends on the results. If we do well in the Scottish Cup and League Cup or go further in Europe it would help the finances. If we get through the Dnipro tie then all of our problems could be solved, so the important games coming up have to be our main focus."

Not many of us get a chance to choose our successor. Most of us wouldn't consider it part of our job.
That's how it is in the private sector. But politics are different.
My cynical mind tells me Congressman Ron Lewis was trying to handpick his successor - Daniel London - last week when one filed and the other withdrew all within a few minutes of each other, so close to the filing deadline.
London is a pretty nice guy and I'm sure politically savvy. I've met him on several occasions, mostly at Chamber functions when as Lewis' chief of staff he was representing his boss. Sometimes Lewis would be there himself.
I haven't always agreed with everything our sitting Congressman does or supports, but he's been good with the gravy and a lot of people have benefited from his ability to transfer pork from Washington, D.C. to his district.
Lewis has been a survivor. He's been our elected U.S. Congressman for the past 14 years. He won a special election in 1994 to complete Rep. William Natcher's unexpired term. Lewis made history. He was the only Republican to ever hold the job. He kept it. People like him when they get behind the curtain of a voting machine.
Over the years, Lewis has been Johnny On the Spot with his press releases. If someone is getting a check, he's letting us know he's our Congressman. Of course, Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning are pretty quick with the PR machine, too.
Anyway, good news travels fast - especially in political circles. Our fax and our e-mail accounts have become very easy receptacles for news out of Washington - mostly the good news.
If Lewis filed for re-election, we heard about it pretty quick. If some industry or business got a contract or grant, electronic transmissions were popping up on multiple computers. The PR machine worked like the well-oiled machine that it is.
But that PR machine broke down last week about the same time the filing deadline (Tuesday, Jan. 29) for the May Primary approached.
On the afternoon of Jan. 29, Lewis' staff was saying he was still running.
London's wife showed up at the Secretary of State's office last Tuesday to file her husband's paperwork to run for U.S. Congress. She also filed other papers withdrawing Lewis from the race.
I can't say with any certainty that Lewis and London were being sneaky. Calculated might be a more pleasant adjective. They were at least in cahoots in an apparent attempt to grease the filing process to their distinct advantage. I figure if people knew Lewis wasn't going to run, there would have been several Republicans wanting a shot at the job.
But secrets are hard to keep. Brett Guthrie seized the opportunity and filed his own paperwork.
Voters will have the ultimate say in who represents the Republican Party in the November General Election. And that's the way it should be.
Politics shouldn't be a pass-the-torch, last-minute, seems-too-calculated-even-for-the-most-nave procedure.
It's America and Lewis can support and endorse anyone he wants. For all I know, London may be the obvious choice as his successor.
But if you're sneaky (er, calculated) on the way out of office, were you calculated the whole time you were in office?
Ron Lewis doesn't deserve a black eye for his years of service. He got a lot of votes through the years and a lot of people have benefited from his hard work.
Whether he intended for it to look the way it does, I don't know. London's candidacy may suffer a bit too from the perception.
Maybe they should have calculated that.

Brits Goes Green For CD Compilation
By Paul Sexton
Brit Awards organizer the BPI is claiming the two-CD compilation album released to tie in with tomorrow night's (Feb.18) ceremony as a benchmark in eco-friendly album packaging.
"The BRIT Awards 2009," released Feb.9 by Sony Music Entertainment, debuted on this week's compilation chart, compiled by the Official Charts Company, at No. 9. The album, the first in the series to be made from eco-friendly packaging, features 40 hits by artists in the U.K. singles chart of the last year, including five of the top ten best-selling tracks of 2008.
Some of the profits from the compilation are going to the Brit Trust charity. Sony DADC, the label's manufacturing arm, has waived its fee for producing the album, which will also go to the charity.
The paper used in the packaging is approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and industry environmental body Julie's Bicycle has awarded the release its Green Mark for eco-friendly design, the first album to receive such recognition.

Following a successful application, Swansea University has been awarded funding to hold events during the 'Hopes and Fears' festival week, 17 – 25 November 2016. During this year's Festival, Swansea University's hub 'Dreams, Demons and Discovery' will inspire you to express your hopes and fears in creative ways.

Watch out also for opportunities to log your hopes and fears at locations around Swansea and see them projected onto the spectacular National Waterfront Museum!
These events will be delivered by Swansea's Research Institute for Arts and Humanities (RIAH) in collaboration with the following partners: City and County of Swansea; Swansea Museum; National Waterfront Museum; Tidal Lagoon Power; DylanED; Clyne Farm Centre; Volcano Theatre Company; Coastal Housing; Trust New Art; The National Trust; Sound UK; and the Challenging Human Environments and Research Impact for a Sustainable and Healthy Digital Economy (CHERISH-DE) centre at Swansea University.

Some epic distances were covered this weekend by purple crews of Almosts at the Comrades and Dartmoor Discovery Ultra marathons (as well as a number of shorter distances).
Husband and wife Mark and Anne-marie Willicott put all the hard training to the test in the Comrades Ultra marathon in Durban at the weekend.
Training for the race has consumed their lives since January and their dedication was rewarded. Mark completed the 86.73km in an incredible 8:56:08, while Anne-marie followed at 10:13.
Anne-marie commented after the race that this race did exactly what it says on the tin 'it takes all of you' and having had a bad fall at 6k into the race which she thought might force her to withdraw, admitted at the end she felt broken. Despite this she described the day as one of the most rewarding experiences of her life. Our congratulations to you both.
Dartmoor Discovery Ultra saw a team of purple Almosts not only conquer this very hard course but steal top prizes in the process. Matt Barnes was first back to take 1st vet 45 trophy at 4:32:13 and 20th overall, while Kim Mansell, new to the club took 2nd in hers at 5:33:23. Ingrid Harris (5:09:27) also took 2nd in her category while Fi Barnes cut a sizeable 13minutes off her personal best time finishing in 5:27:27. Together the ladies won 2nd team prize.
Described as a brutal event, but a lot of fun with one seriously massive climb and some very technical descents, a team of Almosts took on the challenge of the EXTREME Running Maverick in Snowdonia.
Deb Cartlidge completed the 17km course in 2:43.22 to come 5th overall, while Dave Rogers, Matt and Lepha Mccartan took on the 23kn route. Dave was first home in 2:58.17 and 5th overall out of 65, Matt came in not far behind at 3:03.27 (14th) and Lepha was the 6th lady home in 3:23.33 and 25th overall. A massive well done.
Haiggy McHaig continues his countdown to 50 marathons in his 50th year by conquering the physical and mental challenge of the 99 Blue balloons marathon in Telford. Haiggy secured 3rd position by completing the marathon which comprised 0.89 mile loops in 4:27:59.
Locally, last Wednesday proved to be another great night of running by the Almosts at the Cleeve Cloud Cuckoo. Successes included 1st, 2nd, 4th & 6th ladies, Gemma Hargraves (34:42), Ellie Laney (36:51), Patricia Peever (39:32), Gemma Stevens (39:51), as well as the ladies' team prize, while Josh Hand (34:16) was 8th man, Simon Jarvis (35:55) 15th and Dave Rogers (36:06) 16th. Add to that over 30 other Almosts participating, all in all, this was a winner.
Prash Kumar raced in ahead of Ellie at 36:41, while Matthew Hampton followed on her heels at 36:58. Nick Spice, Thomas Smith, Shaun Carr and Matt Proome all broke 40 minutes (37:59, 38:17, 38:25 and 39:23 respectively).
With Almost half of club runners crossing the finish line in the next few minutes including Michelle Balchin and Ingrid Harris placed 3rd in her age categories (Ross Greening 40:08, Martin Thomas 40:36, Mike Kennedy, 40:57, Vasco Barreto 41:03, Paul Thomas 41:08, Allan Green 42:01 (2nd in his category), Michelle Balchin 42:57, Ingrid Harris 43:34, Helen Fursman-Reid 43:43, Phil Jeyes 43:44, Jason Mather 44:31, Jason Mather 44:31, David Garnett 44:41, Jim Trowbridge 44:51, Vicky Kennedy 45:17, Nick Simon 45:46 and Lepha Mccartat 45:48).
Joanna Wisniewska-Barreto crossed the line in just over the 46minutes followed seconds later by Steve Wallbridge (46:14) and Mark Lyes (46:17). Clare Hearing, Rich Smith, Ben Kirby, Norm Lever, Kevin Richards and Mike Line all sub 50 (47:55, 48:01, 48:02, 48:06, 48:49 and 49:44).
Kate Freeman 50:19, Hayley Woolnough 50:59, Des Beer 51:12, Sheila Chatterley 51:18 (2nd and 3rd in category), Graham Philpott 51:27, Rhiannon Edwards 55:52, Deborah Elliott 54:14,Sarah Wallbridge 56:06, Nicola Woodman 56:32 and Adrian Courtenay 57:36 completed the Almosts team.
Closer to home Fairford 10k at the weekend saw the Almost Athletes represented by Matt Polson, first home for the team in 40:27, followed by Phil Jeyes in 48:24 with Andy Domm at 58:28, closely followed by Gareth Wilkes 59:16.
Further afield, Prash Kumar and Simon Jarvis competed in the charity off-road Smeathe's Ridge 10.5k Run for Spinal Injuries Association at Draycott Foliat in Wiltshire, while Robert Foord just sneaked in at 1:43:33 in the Flaming June half marathon near Cambridge to be 99th runner home and Martyn Fisher completed tow back to back events in the Lake District, the 17km Grasmere Gallop and Coniston half marathons.
This week has seen Almost Athletes almost everywhere covering a range of distances.
Congratulations to Doug Wight securing a stunning 9th place in the Meridian Ultra 100k in 7:51:25. Doug's victory in Patrington East Yorkshire was secured against a very strong field of elite ultra England, Wales or Scotland runners participating in the British 100k Championships. A fantastic achievement. Well done Doug!
Having recently joined the elite 100 Marathon club, Ingrid Harris proved she's not resting on her laurels by running the undulating course of Stirling marathon in a very respectable 3:41:35.
Haiggy Haig continues his challenge of 50 marathons in his 50th year completing number 31on Saturday, the Shindig in the Shire marathon in Craven Arms, which he described as 'amazing but tough'...'Fantastic. Loved it', Wife Kathy ran the half.
Haiggy went on to run no 32 at Worcester on Sunday in 4:21:37 finishing ahead of Norm Lever (4:45:48) and Coralie Pearson (5:12:13). Mike Kennedy was first full marathoner home for the Almosts in an impressive 3:30:37 with Allan Green crossing the line in 4:07:36.
Opting for the half marathon, Matt Proome continued his recent form to finish first man for the Almosts in 1:38:17, with Victoria Kennedy first lady (1:45:54). John Bailey wasn't far behind at 1:49:37 with Mike Harris (1:55:03) and Rachel Nolan (2:24:29) completing the team.
Claire Gallagher decided to enjoy Chester half marathon running with the 2:30 pacers.
Further afield, Almost Athletes participated in two mountainous and stunningly scenic events in France. James Clay and Rachel Fargher ran the Trail de Queribus Aude trails half in the Pyrenees and Alain Ensuque ran the equally hilly trail de La Font de Mai, in Aubagne in 1:52:28.
Closer to home and with seemingly no time to draw breath after a busy weekend it was a successful evening for over 60 Almost Athletes competing in the Berkeley 10k race on Monday. Gemma Hargraves continued her winning form to seize first lady overall in 38:14 with a number of other club members achieving impressive personal best times despite the wind and rain, including Prash Kumar, Matt Polson, Catherine Mason, Deborah Elliott, Steve Wallbridge (last year at Berkeley), Penny Byrne and Sue Monaghan; Sarah Fennell and Darren Lewington both broke the hour, and Bob Spawton and Kate Houston broke their personal 20year records. Well done to all!
Simon Jarvis was first male home for the AAs in 38:54, with Prash Kumar and Richard Birch both finishing strongly sub 40 (39:18 and 39:28). Matthew Hampton, Matthew Polson and Dale Midwinter followed in quick succession (40:02, 40:21 and 40:41) with just seconds separating Mike Kennedy and Nick Spice (41:13 and 41:18). Amber Bullingham was 2nd lady to finish for the club in 42:13, with Matt Proome (42:36) hot on her heels ahead of Neil Tring (44:02) and Allan Green (44:14). Michelle Balchin finished 2nd in her age category (45:28) ahead of Victoria Kennedy who came 3rd in hers (46:04). Joe Harrison (46:14), Steve Wallbridge (46.17) and Dave Chittock (46.48) came in quick succession followed by Ingrid Harris 3rd in her age category (46:56) with Stacey Osmond on 47:19, and on 48mins Dan MacGovern (48:08), Dave Garnett (48:17), Jim Crowbridge (48:18), and Deb Cartlidge (48:48).
Racing over the finish in sub 50 were Rob Hume, Steve Adams, Duncan Mounsor and Kate Houston (49:12, 49:25, 49:39 and 49:59 respectively), ahead of Mohammed Shaikh on 50:43. Almosts were crossing the finish line in steady succession now - Dave Davey (51:14), Hayley Woolnough (51:28), Alison Hume (51:32), Bob Spawton (51:48) with Sarah Wallbridge and Mike Line not far behind (52:09) and (52:14) ahead of Neil Harris, Sue Monaghan, Trevor Richards and Catherine Mason (53:10, 53:19, 53:14 and 53:43). There was a short gap before the next group - Deborah Elliott (56:14), David Lawrence (56:11), Coralie Pearson (57:21), Sandra Stuart (57:35) and Bill Jones (57:44).
There was still a chance to cross the line under the hour and Andy Domm, Lucia Milone, Mark Eavers, Darren Lewington, Nicola Woodman, Jane Birch, Rachael and Ollie Nolan, Gareth Wilkes, and a cheeky Sarah Fennell took it (58:02, 58:25, 58:39, 58:38, 58:33, 59:34, 59:41, 59:42, 59:43 and 59:58 respectively).

Congress leader from Punjab and Amritsar MP Captain Amarinder Singh has said that was time for Congress president Sonia Gandhi to step down and hand over the reins of the party to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra.
In an interview, he also said that at the age of 70, it was obvious that Sonia was exhausted, tired and wants to change.
Singh was quoted as saying "I have worked with Sonia ji since 1998. I found her a really good leader. She is nearly 70 years old and I am 74. The time has come for a new generation to emerge. She has worked very hard. She is working in the whole country. Obviously she is exhausted, tired and wants to change. I think it's only fair if she wishes to handover.

text: Isn't their? You know not the current one we have when we edit that has options like "Embedded File","File Link", and "Internal Link". If I remember their is a much easier version of editing that many other wikis use now. So is it possible to implement it into this one? And if so can you admins do so? Because the current is very hard to edit with. I would prefer the upgraded version that already has a bunch of more options to make everything a lot easier.

Whether you're purchasing an estate home in the Mile High City, or refinancing your ski condo in Aspen, you can find a great rate on your Colorado mortgage. The basic categories of home financing are: fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs), adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and home equity loans.
FRMs, ARMs, HELOCs, and home equity loans come in many shapes and sizes. Fortunately, MortgageLoan.com has the resources to help you find, understand, and evaluate your mortgage loan options. You can browse and compare mortgage rates, calculate loan payments, review amortization tables, and find brokers and lenders. Before you get too deep into the process, however, take a moment to clarify your cost savings objective. With mortgages, you can save money in different ways-with the lowest payment, the lowest fixed rate of interest, or the lowest overall interest costs.
This Rate Map for the state of Colorado shows the rates that individual borrowers were able to obtain on refinanced and home purchase mortgages. Each balloon represents a single mortgage – click on them to see what kind of rates borrowers are getting in your area.
Use the options in the column at left to sort your choices by location and credit score. Individual balloons also feature information on loan size, loan-to-value ratio, loan type, lender and more.
If you recently obtained or refinanced a mortgage and would like to anonymously share information about the terms you were able to get, just click on "Share Your Rate" above the map. Your fellow borrowers will thank you!
NOTE: MortgageLoan.com cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data provided as it is submitted by our visitors.
Your search for the right mortgage will be more efficient if you understand, early on, how each loan type works. FRMs are the safest, most conventional mortgage loan. They carry the same rate of interest throughout the loan's life, which is usually 30 years. ARMs usually start with a low rate, but are subject to rate increases or decreases later on. HELOCs and home equity loans are both second mortgages; HELOCs have adjustable interest, and home equity loans have fixed interest. Rates on second mortgages are usually higher than rates on first mortgages.
A mortgage refinance pays off your existing mortgage and replaces it with a new, more suitable loan. You might consider refinancing if you need to:
Reducing your monthly payment is easiest if market interest rates are lower than the rate you're currently paying. If they aren't, you might be able to lower the payment by extending the loan's maturity date. You can fund a home improvement, or consolidate debt, with what's called a cash-out refinance. This requires that you have sufficient equity available in the home.
Comparison shopping is the best way to get a great deal on your Colorado mortgage or mortgage refinance. Here are the steps of the process:
You can use a lender's advertised rates as a guideline; but don't be too surprised if you're offered a different rate. A lender's published rate is usually the best available, which is offered only to the most qualified applicants. Also, be careful that you compare your mortgage loan options on all terms, including whether they require points, and if they have fixed or variable interest.

Golfing with the Girls: Anatomie Style
Imagine yourself on the green, teeing off to the early morning skies. The sun is out; the weather is perfect, and the girls are golfing. But have you really thought of what to wear on days like these? You better not be thinking of the ugly, old school, grandma Bermudas!
Luckily, Anatomie is here to help you look like the stylish golfer you truly are. As you know, Anatomie pants are the go-to pieces for any event! They are wrinkle-free, comfortable, functional, and not to mention flattering. And if that isn't enough, Anatomie pants are also UV protected, perfecting your experience out on the sunny course. Here is our favorite selection of Anatomie pants for our lady golfers.
These pants are basic, clean cut, and light. They are also high-rise pants, which gives you the conservative feel you need for golf yet still flatters the feminine look
[gap height="60″].
The best feature of these pants is the cropped length. The last thing you need to be worrying about when you golf is tripping over ill-fitting pants! The Susan Skinny pants are also embellished with sexy zippers on the sides and back. This is a great choice for the ladies who like to gossip over lunch after a great game of golf.
This is the look you should go for when attending formal golfing events. These bootleg cut dress pants have great front pockets and a regular rise. The Paola pants are truly an Anatomie classic that will give you the fitted, yet comfortable look you want.
Don't be alarmed by the "cargo" look! These are not your typical cargo pants: baggy, bulky, and boring. The Anatomie Cargo Capri pants have flat pockets giving you a seamless slim fit. This cropped look is again a great choice for golfing, and the high performance fibers give you the protection and resistance you need to get you to the eighteenth hole.
Choose Anatomie for your next golf outing
Anatomie gives you the modern and chic look you really want when you are out golfing with your girlfriends. Forget about the tacky Bermudas! All of Anatomie's pants are stylish and fitting. They are the perfect choice for all of your favorite hobbies, especially golf! We hope to see you strutting the Anatomie look on the green next time.

One of my favorite ways to groove into my meditation mojo, is by listening to music. And on some days it can be a life saver.
Like the other day, when I was listening to some of my favorite tunes with my earbuds at a cafe. Both of my ears were tuning into every note. I barely recognized an acquaintance walking by, waving hello, my ears were so focused.
I was lost in this beautiful place, and it felt so right.
But then this dude came in and sat down right next to me with a voice that was too loud. It boomed of Liver Yang. And he wasn't about to lower it just because I was sitting there. So I tried hard to ignore it, but failed when my mouth sarcastically mumbled, "Oh man, you've gotta be kidding."
My attention left my tunes, and zoomed in onto this guy. My perfect space was invaded. And the more I heard him, the less less I liked it. My mood turned on a dime, and I thought, "Who does this dude think he is?"
Just as resentment was moving in fast, I heard a voice whisper in my head, "You can turn up your own volume, in your own head-set. You're free to drown him out." Wow, suddenly, I was eye to eye with the obvious!
So I turned my sound up, to concert hall level, and my previously peaceful demeanor changed to a foot tapping, shoulder swaying, chair dance. Smiling and getting into it, it felt good being myself again.
And now I was a more visible, bigger version of myself. It must have been waiting all the while, for an invitation to come out and play. It was like this dude with the loud voice, handed me a backstage pass to my own show.
So as I tuned him out and tuned myself in, I forgot about him altogether. I was back hanging out with myself again, and when I looked up, he was gone.
It's only a matter of time now that someone else will come along and push my comfort zone. But now I welcome and realize unexpected encounters bear unexpected gifts. Plus, they always give me a great excuse to get my Krishna Das on.

- 7.375" Blued round barrel
- Brass guard and frame
- Walnut grip
- Hammer/blade sights
Although the resourcefully equipped Confederate soldier could not compete with Union repeating rifles, it was a different story when it came to revolvers. These handguns did not typically require a special type of ammunition, making them easy for Southern troops to acquire and operate.
The brass frame "Navy Type" revolvers are identified with the Confederate manufacturers Griswold & Gunnison, and Leech & Rigdon. Brass was used for the frames because of the scarcity of iron in the United States. They were modeled after the Colt Navys and feature a blued 7 1/2" octagon barrel. This 6 shot single action revolver was one of the most widely used. Originally offered in .36 Caliber this replica is offered in .44. This replica also features an 7.375" blued rifled barrel, brass frame, brass guard, and walnut grip.
Technical Information
Caliber: 44
Barrel Length: 7.375"
Twist Rate: Not provided by manufacturer
Overall Length: 13"

Prince Agrees to New Five-Year Contract
Prince Agrees to New Five-Year Contract
"We are pleased with the direction of our football program under the leadership of Ron," Krause said. "He has a plan in place and is right on course with that plan and this new contract provides one additional year on top of the additional year he earned by leading the Wildcats to a bowl in his first season."
The new five-year deal is retroactive to January 1, 2008, extends to December 31, 2012, and replaces the original contract signed in December of 2005.
"I am very appreciative of the commitment that the university has shown to our organization," Prince said. "The administration has proven its long-term commitment to us as a program as evident in the current facility expansion and other projects that are essential for sustained success. We feel that we are on schedule with our plan of building a fast, tough, strong and disciplined program and are looking forward to this season and many seasons to come."
Prince, who is entering his third season at the helm of the Wildcat program, is the first coach in school history to lead his team to a bowl game in year one and also has recorded the second-most wins, 12, by a coach in school history after the first two years on the job, just one shy from recording the most. Among the Big 12 ranks, Prince ranks third in wins among Big 12 coaches who were hired when inheriting a program coming off consecutive losing seasons, trailing only Bob Stoops and Les Miles.
In his first two years on the job, Prince has compiled a 12-13 overall record and led Kansas State to wins over top 10 opponents in consecutive seasons, which also included the program's first-ever road win over a top 10 team last year at Texas. K-State also produced the program's first-ever offensive consensus All-American last season in Jordy Nelson and has won two Big 12 newcomer of the year awards under Prince.
Additionally, Prince has established a high level of success in the classroom as a record number of football players were named to the Big 12 Commissioner's honor roll in 2007-08, eight players in two seasons have earned Academic All-Big 12 honors and 39 football student-athletes have earned their degrees from
The Kansas State football program has also been recognized this past season for its graduation rate as the Wildcats ranked second among Big 12 football programs with a 69-percent graduation rate as well as 10th nationally in a recent survey by Diverse magazine for graduating African-American football players.
Prince's base salary for 2008 will be $143,000 with a total guaranteed package of $1.1 million, which includes compensation from endorsements such as television, radio, internet, personal appearances and shoe and apparel. Prince could also earn up to an additional $950,000 per year in performance-based incentives.

You purchased your Forester because its adventure and a fun driving experience appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Subaru vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to fix your car or truck. Car aficionados know that a "go anywhere" attitude is built into each Subaru, and know that only top quality replacement Forester parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. Your Subaru dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your Forester.
It's hard to imagine how poorly our engines would perform without being constantly lubricated. For over 100 years, engine oil has been that lubricant... and that currently resides in your Subaru Forester oil pan. The oil pan is sometimes called a sump, as it is the lowest part of the crankcase and where all the oil collects. Since your oil pan is exposed to the road underneath it, it can be easily damaged by rogue debris or rocks. Be mindful of rust accumulating under your Subaru Forester, as oil pans have a tendency to corrode if left unattended.
When your Subaru requires a top quality replacement Oil Pan, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a broken Oil Pan spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the highest quality repair parts. When it comes to Subaru Forester Oil Pan parts, you can find them for 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Hi All,
Has anyone got a Chumby? http:/
If so would you reccomend it? I saw them a few years ago but I got side tracked and never brought one but think I might in the next few weeks.
Do you have one? Should I get one?

Nov 14, 2010 at 9:40 UTC
Seems a bit gimmicky to me, and doesn't appear to have anything going for it that an iPad or a netbook wouldn't have. With that said, it is significantly cheaper, but I dont know that I would want to spend that kind of money on yet another gadget.
Just my opinion anyway, feel free to correct me anyone who has actually used one of these.
Nov 15, 2010 at 2:15 UTC
I got a Chumby just reading that. Seriously though, I hadn't heard of it and what I read it just sounds like a gimmicky website wanting to give you content RSS style and selling ad space in the feeds.
Nov 15, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
I've received both the Classic model and the newer Chumby One as gifts.
(DIfference? The Classic is a One housed in a beanbag, plus better speakers and one more USB port. Oh, and the One has an FM tuner but the Classic does not. Otherwise functionally identical.)
They're pretty neat; one of mine makes a very fancy alarm clock and the other is my desk clock at work. It gets a lot of comments, and the game/humor widgets are a nice mini distraction.
The 'net audio streaming is good, and you can play and charge an iPod through the device; also use either source as an alarm. But if you get the One, you'll need to hook up headphones or PC speakers (standard headphone jack), as the one mono speaker is tinny. The Classic's stereo speakers are small but deceptively good sounding.
Nobody NEEDS a Chumby. Especially now that smartphones are capable of delivering so many feeds and widgets; that's what once made the Chumby special. But if you ever wished your clock radio could show your Twitter feeds, Chuck Norris quotes and random Flickr photos while playing Pandora, then you're in luck.
Makes a great desk clock at work (unless you don't want people asking you about it) and I'm torn between using my other one at the bedside or the kitchen windowsill to keep me entertained while cooking and doing dishes.
But if you don't have $100 to spend on a frivolous toy, then save your money. You can live a fulfilling life without one.
NOTE: The display and Wi-Fi requirements of the Chumby means that it runs off of AC power, not batteries. So if your power goes out, so does your alarm clock. Just a warning.
Nov 17, 2010 at 3:24 UTC
Thanks for all the info. I may give it a pass. I was just going to use it as an alarm clock. I doubt I will wake up and play some games read the news and look at some live feeds. I would proabley grab my stuff and run out the door.
I will wait another 6months to see what some clever chap has invented and maybe by that.
Nov 18, 2010 at 1:10 UTC
Yea it seems like i really dont need one of these. Nothing my pc or smart phone cant already do. I think they could have come up with a better name for the device. Dont think ill be asking any ladies to check out my Chumby.

I told a co-worker I had a chumby and they filed a grievance.

Bulgaria - Change your Name (Deed Poll)
Sometimes parents to please grandparents, baptized their children with names that they may not like or even be ashamed of them. Moreover certain events in our lives also lead to changing our name –all or part of it.
If you are using, or wish to use, a name other than your registered name, there is no legal requirement that you formally change your name. It is, however, recommended that you change your name officially, both for identification and as evidence of your name change.
Name change generally refers to the legal act by a person of adopting a name different from their name at birth, marriage or adoption. The procedures and ease of a name change vary between jurisdictions.
The Bulgarian law requires the applicant for name change to be over 18 years old. If he/she is younger then parents consent is needed.
People choose to change their name for a variety of reasons. Maybe you just want to change the spelling of your name, you don't like the name your parents gave you, you want to get rid of your middle name, you want to remove any family associations, or maybe you just want a change! You can legally change your first name, middle name or surname, or any combination of those.

The name is part of the civil status of individuals. It individualizes and identifies us in public.
Most often the reasons for the name change are:
- Marriage
- Divorce
- Adoption
- if the name is ridiculous or libelous or socially unacceptable
- When important circumstances require adjustment.
The procedure is aimed at changing the name, middle name and surname of the person in court in the cases exhaustively listed by the Civil Registration Act (GRI). Given that the individual is identified, marked, distinct from the other entities in society with its name, which legitimized and, and from this a number of rights and obligations for it, then the possibilities for changing it are strictly defined by law and only be allowed in certain circumstances.
Required Information
- Full name
- Permanent address
- Personal identification number
- Reason for the requested name change
Changing the name begins with the submission of an application to the District Court. The applicant must prepare a copy of the application with proofs and give it to the municipality at his permanent residence. He also needs to send one set to the District Attorney. The applicant has the right his case to be considered in terms of the so-called "expedited procedure". The latter requires the court on the day of receipt of application to send a copy of it together with any attachments for delivery to the defendant (municipality) and the other interested party-the prosecution. Municipal administration and the district attorney are entitled to a written response within 7 days. 5 days after the deadline for response in a closed session, the court shall decide on the admission of the evidences submitted by the parties and set the case for after 15 days. The parties are informed for the date of the case with summons. The court announces its decision with the reasons for it within 7 days after the proceedings. Each of the parties: the citizen, the prosecution or the municipality has the right to appeal the court decision within 14 days.

Required Documents
- An application to the District court
- Copy of the application for the municipality at his permanent residence
- Copy of the application for the District attorney
The state charges for the court case 8 levs.
The name change is valid forever.
Documents to Use

Changing your name after marriage or divorce is quite a simple process, while changing your name 'just because' requires a little more effort, but it is still quite straight forward and a lot easier than it used to be.
To change your name, submit a petition to your local Superior Court that details the reasons you'd like to change your name. After the court approves your request, you'll then need to update your Social Security card, driver's license and passport.
Typically, you may legally change your name to whatever name you'd like. There are some exceptions, though:
- You can't change your name just to escape debt liability or to hide from criminal liability.
- You can't change your name in order to commit a crime.
- You can't change your name with the intention to mislead. This usually involves taking the name of a famous person. Courts typically do not allow this, unless you have a convincing reason that is not related to the famous person or the use of his or her name.
- You can't choose a confusing name one that includes numerals or punctuation. However, some courts have permitted people to spell out the numbers, for example "Seven" instead of "7".
- You can't choose a name that would intimidate, offend, or be considered obscene.
- You can't choose a racial slur.
