Welcome friend!
I'm Jocelyn, the one woman show behind The Nesting Spot. I have always loved creating things with my hands. The past 5 years I have turned that love into a little business where I make original artwork and personalized ornaments. These things take up most of my free time but when I am not working on that I love making items for my kids, my house, and gifts for friends and family.
I started out making sock and glove animals but am taking a break from that while the kids are little. It was just getting to be too much for me to do. I do look forward to designing and selling more creatures in the future!
I am also a wife and mother of three. Prior to kids I taught 2nd grade but now stay home with my own little ones. I love anything chocolate, traveling (although since the kids I haven't gotten to do as much), and watching good movies. We would love to have our own vegetable garden but it has been so discouraging with the constant drought we've been in here for the last few years that I am not sure when we'll get to it. My husband is a youth/college minister at a local church and so much of our time is spent with that as well.
I could go on, but hopefully as you read this blog you'll learn some more about me.
Oh, and a HUGE reason I am so craftily inclined is because of my mom. She taught me to sew on her sewing machine, and even bought me the one I have. She has a love for color, nature, sewing, and art which led to her opening up her own etsy shop called Starlit Gardens. It is full of lovely quilted items to decorate your house or give as one of a kind gifts! Please check it out! And she has also just started a blog of her own.

To prepare for the start of the 2012 USC campaign, we're doing position-by-position previews of the Trojans' roster all this week. We began Monday with quarterbacks and continued until Sunday with the defensive backs.
Today, with fall camp kicking off this evening, we take a quick look at the special teams.
For each position, we're starting with a projected current depth chart, going off the end-of-spring depth chart as released by Lane Kiffin, and discussing what needs to be resolved by Sept. 1.
1. Kyle Negrete, redshirt senior
2. Kris Albarado, redshirt freshman
1. Andre Heidari, sophomore
2. Craig McMahon, redshirt sophomore
Long snapper
1. Peter McBride, redshirt freshman
1. Matt Barkley, senior
2. Cody Kessler, redshirt freshman
Kickoff returner
1. Robert Woods, junior
2a. Curtis McNeal, redshirt senior
2b. Marqise Lee, sophomore
Punt returner
1a. Nickell Robey, junior
1b. Robert Woods
3. Marqise Lee
Negrete and Albarado are listed as co-punter on the depth chart Kiffin released in April, but it'd be highly surprising if Negrete wasn't the Trojans' starting punter from the season opener until the season finale.
His leg strength is average at this level, but he's a masterful directional punter. USC used his specific skills well last year, and he's really the perfect punter for a team that's not going to have to punt too much. He and Heidari give Kiffin and special teams coach John Baxter multiple options when the Trojans get stuck around an opponent's 40-yard line.
Heidari really has a rocket leg, and he showed next to no signs of fallibility in his freshman season. He misfired on only two kicks all year, and he was nursing an ankle injury during one of them. There's no reason to think he'll miss more than two or three in 2012.
Albarado is a rarity in college football -- a backup punter on scholarship. There aren't very many of them across the country. But he'll presumably be a three-year starter, beginning next season, before he's done.
This will be McBride's fourth semester at USC already -- he enrolled early in the spring of 2011 -- but he'll see his first game action in the opener. He previously backed up the four-year starter Chris Pousson.
Barkley did all of the holding last season and should continue doing so this year.
The returner spots are interesting. Many programs try to avoid putting their premiere players back to return punts or kicks, but not the Trojans. Their end-of-spring depth chart featured their four best players among the positions returners are traditionally mined from.
Will Woods do so even if he continues to be bothered by his ankle? He split both of the duties last season, so it's possible.
We'll take a further look at camp shortly.

FLAG-tag, or FLAG octapeptide, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild-type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A FLAG-tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a FLAG-tag to this protein allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the FLAG sequence. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by SDS PAGE protein electrophoresis.
The peptide sequence of the FLAG-tag from the N-terminus to the C-terminus is: DYKDDDDK (1012 Da). It can be used in conjunction with other affinity tags, for example a polyhistidine tag (His-tag), HA-tag or myc-tag. It can be fused to the C-terminus or the N-terminus of a protein. Some commercially available antibodies (e.g., M1/4E11) recognize the epitope only when it is present at the N-terminus. However, other available antibodies (e.g., M2) are position-insensitive.
|Product name
|Product name
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase Itchy homolog, also known as Atrophin-1-interacting protein 4, NFE2-associated polypeptide 1, NAPP1 and ITCH, is a cell membrane protein which contains one C2 domain, one HECT (E6AP-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase) domain and contains four WW domains. ITCH acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. It catalyzes 'Lys-29'-, 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin conjugation. ITCH is involved in the control of inflammatory signaling pathways. It is an essential component of a ubiquitin-editing protein complex, comprising also TNFAIP3, TAX1BP1 and RNF11, that ensures the transient nature of inflammatory signaling pathways. ITCH promotes the association of the complex after TNF stimulation. Once the complex is formed, TNFAIP3 deubiquitinates 'Lys-63' polyubiquitin chains on RIPK1 and catalyzes the formation of 'Lys-48'-polyubiquitin chains. This leads to RIPK1 proteosomal degradation and consequently termination of the TNF- or LPS-mediated activation of NFKB1. Defects in ITCH are the cause of syndromic multisystem autoimmune disease (SMAD) which is characterized by organomegaly, failure to thrive, developmental delay, dysmorphic features and autoimmune inflammatory cell infiltration of the lungs, liver and gut.

Clean room, comfy bed and a good breakfast Fair walk into town
Hotel was very clean and the staff were very courteous. It was ideally located near Fougeres. I would have liked outdoor tables and chairs as I always like to relax over a beer after a day's sightseeing
Very new, well designed and well decorated hotel. Not. In a walking distance fron center, but compensated by the installations. No, was all ok
Everything works, it is all designed with the traveller in mind. Clean, comfortable, right temperature, good food, well priced, absolutely a great functional place for one or two nights passing through. Don't expect tourist type facilities such as excursions, but expect first class facilities.
Its a brand new hotel, lovely rooms and is absolutely spotless. Great value and would definitely stay there again.
the rooms were great location was not that great to go to st michel
friendly helpful staff, easy to find because of bright sign outside and central location Had old world charm the room was a little run down - parking was ok but only until 9am
Great location - good to have a family room Need some pictures on the wall -Room 202
Convenience for journey to Cherbourg from SW France
The position to visit places on Brittany.
The location was excellent in what I felt was a traditional French family- run hotel. This is so much nicer than those chain plastic hotels one finds everywhere Our double room was quite small
Floor in hotel was very squeaky which must have annoyed those below. Room was small, but bathroom good.
No tea/coffe making facilities in room
A good value stop off hotel
central location: nice decorative touches in room and hallways: excellent breakfast.
Very helpful and frienfdly staff. Restaurant food was excellent quality.
Great costumer service and advice Bed a bit uncomfortable
The hotel is well located if your travels require an overnight close to Mont St Michel. The hotel is walkable from the train station where buses can take you to Mont St Michel. Hotel staff was kind and helpful with our logistics. The room we had was somewhat cramped but ok for a short stay.
The location for the area we were visiting and the friendliness of the manager when we arrived and had any queries
Staff spoke good English and were very accommodating with all requests.
The wifi! The hotel was very old and lovely but modern where it needed to be. Our stay was very nice.
Don't eat at the hotel, the Italian restaurant round the corner is amazing and much cheaper!!
Consideration of the hotel staff; especially the arrangement for our late arrival due to transportation problems. Lack of a lift to the floor where our room was located. We are in our 70s and it was difficult to move our luggage to the room when checking in and back down to the lift when checking out.
Very attractive building well situated in a cute town (Pontorson). Lots of space in the room. Staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was in a lovely room and the food was great.
This historic hotel is lovely and we only have two small complaints.... The pigeons were quite noisy all night and there was no air conditioning to cool the room after a 30 degree day.
Beautiful and historic, friendly staff No restaurant even though it had been recommended in the Lonely Planet guidebook and was one of the main reasons why we chose this hotel
Friendly staff, easy to sit and have a drink either in bar or on terrace.Room reasonable and clean. Restaurant and breakfast good
Excellent hotel; our 3rd stay, hotel recognised previous customers. Good restaurant, quite room, excellent shower room, large off street car park. Happy to return. Excellent nightstop or longer stay.
The room was very nice for the price. There was no internet connection in our room as advertised.
Rooms covered all needs,polite,helpful staff...Breakfast fantastic !!!
The room for 4 people was great - actually 2 double bedrooms together, not just 4 beds. Sheets and blankets - update to duvets!
It was a beautiful hotel in a lovely peaceful French town. Absolutely perfect for a rest after a long day travelling with a baby and a 3 year old. We were made to feel really welcome. Lovely children's playground was a bonus! Will stay again for longer next time.
Value for money - good food and friendly staff. Modern facilities.
Restaurant has a good atmosphere and breakfast is fine. Construction works were going on during our stay
Location. Comfort of room Good breakfast Unfriendliness of staff
The restaurant at the main hotel across the road. The food was awesome - beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Great value too. Being close to the station was essential for us (too much luggage and travelling by train) and this fitted the bill perfectly. Nothing .
Good convenient free parking. Close to high street for restaurants The shower was tiny and there was no attachment for the shower head in the shower. Road noise outside - cars crossing rail tracks, luckily very few trains.
room is clearn,good value for short stay. train could be noise in the morning, if u plan to sleep late.
Staff were friendly
Transportation connections are ideal. This hotel is right next to the train station and the bus stop for bus route #6 to Mont St Michel. We picked this hotel for that reason, and the bus connection worked very well. This hotel does not have wi-fi but the staff allowed us to use the wi-fi in the lounge of its sister hotel across the road. Very nice people.
Friendly, mature staff. General level of cleanliness. Convenient location.
The overall impression was good, and the location to Mont Saint Michel is convenience. No. of staff is too few in the hotel.
the hotel was cheap and fantastic, what a cute little town
The restaurant at 1st floor must be one of the best in this small town. Annex, in which we stayed, was old and not very clean. No elevator. Broken shutter. Main building (just 2 min walk) seemed nicely renovated.
Quite close to the train station. If the rooms are equipped with hair drier, it would be better.
The room (for me room/bathroom/toilet quality is of utmost importance when selecting a hotel) - it was way better than what i had expected! n/a
Room was clean except for toilet (it was filthy). Close to shops. Room was overlooking train tracks but very quiet (Host said there was a train strike and no trains). It was not '5 mins' from Saint Mont Michel as advertised. The Mont is 8km away - about 10-15 min. drive on narrow road. We thought from the ad 'only 1 room left' in the category that there would be people around but the hotel was deserted.
large family room difficult to find even with GPS
Friendly staff. No restaurant
Price was kind of cheep compared with the other hotels near Mont St-Michel. It's soundproofing was so poor that we couldn't sleep with terrible noses from upstairs. Many group tourists arrived late at night and their noise of steps, using showers, even flushing the toilet bothered us so much. We complained about that next morning. The owner said there would be nobody over us that day, so we decided not to cancel another night. But unfortunately, we were bothered by the noise from downstairs again which was helpless. The corridor was always full of bad smell (maybe sewage?) which was uncomfortable. It's kind of small family run hotel so we expected warm friendly atmosphere but Hotel staff was not friendly with no smile.One lady didn't say even hello when we happened to see in the garden.
The owner was very friendly. Close to St.Michel. The room we stayed was for triple, but bit small. The bathtub with no shower curtain is uncomfortable.
We arrived late, but after a phone call to the hotel, they agreed to stay late. While they appeared unpleasant during the phone call, upon arrival, they were very friendly and accommodating. There is a 8:00pm latest check-in which we did not notice until 8:30 and 200 kms away. They agreed to stay but was a little difficult. Our fault really for not noticing the last check-in time.
Lovely location and convenient for the St Malo ferry. The family room was spacious and the hotel were helpful about an extra bed for a third child. The town delightful and we had a great, cheap meal out.
The whole experience, the hotel the restaurant was superb. Nothing
The staff in the dinning room were excellent, the dinner superb. Your two waiters were very helpful and amusing. the bedroom was adequate, the decor a bit 'tired'. We had to wait rather along time for the waliters to take our dinner order as theywere some what busy.
Very nice stuff. Willing to speak English (which is not obvious in France). The view is great with the castle next to the hotel and the village is very nice. The breakfast was expensive but poor (especially compare to other hotels). We went to look and decided not to take it. Also, they are charging for little children (our child is 3 years old). The rooms were clean and very big. However, they need renovation. The rate for these rooms is too high. The restaurant of the hotel has a good service but the food is not good and vary expensive.
This typically French hotel provides excellent value for money. The restaurant provides an exquisite fine dining experience
Pleasant staff. Unsafe stairs. Airless room. Food did not measure up to what was attempted.
The staff were very plesant and very good service The pillows in the room were poor quality
We dined in the Restaurant and found the atmosphere very dull.
Comfort of room, and quality of meals in restaurant Difficulty of accessing and leaving the rear car park
Only one night's stay. Evening meal was excellent, hotel staff very attentive and very conveniently situated. Room was pleasant to stay in. No, but a rather average breakfast for the cost.
The hotel was fairly new. McDonald's and a Chinese restaurant just across the road. English-speaking front desk staff. Quiet. Ample and free parking. Free 15 minutes of Wifi.
Good value for money if you don't mind being stuck a long way from Rennes centre. Hotel is clean, functional and quiet and the staff is very helpful. Just the location....
We were really pleased with our stay at Oceania. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable and pleasant!
The hotel was sparkling clean and the bed was very comfortable. Also several chain restaurants within walking distance, so no need to get back in the car again after a long journey. Buffet breakfast very good. None
Hotel architecture impressive Hotel staff were ineffective in dealing with a major complaint over the booking
Clean and comfortable, very well equipped, efficient and courteous staff. Within easy walking distance of at least three good basic restuarants. No surprises - the website says it all. We have noticed an increasing tendency in many french hotel/auberge websites to exagerate facilities or gloss over deficiencies, this is certainly not the case in Escale Oceania. Well positioned for transit stop for the ports. Surrounding area of this particular hotel lacks character but was perfect for our purpose as transit for cherbourg. We would certainly look at other hotels in the group for a longer stay in an area of historic or touristic interest
Very clean, nice modern hotel, good restaurants near the hotel, good breakfast, helpfull staff, nice environment
Very comfortable, modern and clean hotel. Ideal for stopping off to/from St Malo. Good breakfast included in the price.
the room was first class & the staff
Excellent hotel, although about 20 mins from Rennes City Centre. easy to find in the dark with satnav (hotel well lit up). Parking on site next to hotel. Good rooms with escellent shower facilities. Good continental-type breakfast included in the price. The room size was abit small (for a double/twin).
Very nice staff; lovely dinner: no
A truly fabulous setting and gorgeously restored buildings. The owners are very friendly and helpful and made us feel very at home. The gardens are stunning and the coast is only a short drive away. The chateau has lots of period features and a great breakfast room. As guests you have fairly free roam of the buildings and grounds. Also good for children (our four year old really enjoyed it). Thoroughly recommended.
Have stayed many times going to and from the Channel Islands. Quiet location. Campanile are always changing their menu policy and the current arrangements are not as good as previously.
Inexpensive and easy to get to. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was competent. The restaurant was quite bad, and not inexpensive. Do not eat here.
Very practical for an overnight stop. Room well appointed for the price, staff friendly, food good quality & value.
A very helpful English waitress.
Very comfortable one night stop en route for ferry.
My only requirement was a bed for the night. The room was basic, clean and the bathroom facilities were good. In this respect it was good value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful The evening meal was a little disappointing considering this was France. There was plenty of food, the taste was very average - but then I did not book the hotel because of its restaurant, it was also late on a Sunday, nowhere else was open and the meal did fill us up
Very frienndly helpful staff, room was clean & functional. Free wi-fi that was easy to connect to There is no bar in the hotel. There is a restarant the sells drinks and you can sit there only if you are eating, but if you just want to have a drink there is no where to sit except in a little lounge area beside reception
Parking close to the room. Good breakfast. Location close to the exit of the town. Rather simple dinner in the restaurant.
Always reliable as a place to stay, and good stopover point for Channel Islands. One of Campanile's better hotels. Pleasant, quiet location.
An excellent hotel. I was slightly concerned as the room was cheap and it was only 2 stars but I felt that it was excellent value for money, a good clean and spacious room with good facilities and an excellent restaurant attached to the hotel There was nothing that I disliked

National assessment urged
We have a national curriculum, so why not have a national baseline assessment scheme, she asks. But she accepts that this view is unlikely to please her counterparts elsewhere. If a local scheme works, most schools want to keep it.
At Parsons Down Infant and Nursery School in Thatcham, Berkshire, she and her fellow teachers have just completed assessing the latest intake of reception children.
This is the fourth term that Berkshire primary schools have been using a guide on baseline assessment devised by Surrey County Council. Timetabled tightly, the tests take about a week. Berkshire chose this scheme partly because it did not take up as much teachers' time as others.
"The Surrey scheme has just enough - any more than that would drive us to distraction. But good teachers assess children all the time," says Mrs Schofield. "My worry is we spend so long assessing we run out of time to teach the children anything."
She is also worried about whether the assessments should lean more heavily towards the so-called desirable outcomes - the Government's targets for five-year-olds - or towards key stage 1 of the national curriculum.
The Surrey scheme tests language, posture, walking, drawing a figure, behaviour, early literacy and maths. The child is marked for each activity and adjustments are made according to how long pupils have been at school.
The scores are sent to Berkshire County Council and turned into graphs showing three bands - average, and above or below average - so teachers and parents can discuss an individual's strengths and weaknesses.
Mrs Schofield, however, says she and her colleagues would be concerned if the scores were used to compare children nationally. The individual profiles are there for the parents, the teachers and the children - no-one else."I get a little bit anxious when you know you have worked very hard with a child and you're not getting much further, and it looks as if you have not done much with them," she says.
League tables and "value-added" measures are worrying because they cannot take into account the child whose parents may be indifferent and who misses half a year's schooling.
The teacher may have worked very hard with the child, but the end results are poor because so many lessons have been missed. There is also the phenomenon of the low-achieving year group - children who, for some reason, do not do as well as the pupils of later or previous years.
Mrs Schofield is aware that assessments can be precarious for reticent children. Assessments should be open to change, she says, and they should respect a child's character. They are not meant to label children; merely test their abilities at one moment in time, so that teachers can meet their educational needs.
What the final tests are likely to consist of:
Curriculum advisers are piloting several versions of baseline tests this term. The final model, which will be optional, looks likely to cover eight items at four levels. Here are some examples of skills being assessed: Reading
1 Recognises own name 2 Recognises initial sounds in words 3 (Level of government targets for five-year-olds) Recognises letters by their shape and sound 4 (Level 1 of the national curriculum) Knows all 26 names and sounds of letters of the alphabet
1 Distinguishes between print and pictures in own work 2 Writes letter-type shapes 3 Independently writes own name spelt correctly 4 Writes words
Speaking and listening
1 Recounts events or experiences 2 Asks questions to find out things and listens to the answers 3 Makes up a story and tells it 4 Makes up and tells story with details to small group, and listens to others' stories
1 Recites numbers 1 to 5 2 Matches sets with same number by counting 3 Recognises numbers to 10 and writes 1-10 4 Counts backwards
Personal and social
1 Conveys needs with familiar adults 2 Attitude coming to school: independent and keen to contribute 3 Tries something new alone

Mumbai, July 17: A blatant present trend is that Indian politicians are turning inordinately eager to snatch whatever sports portfolios are on offer. They become all the more aggressive in their campaigning when there's a post in cricket up for grabs.
Thus, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh surged to a landslide victory over former Indian cricketer Dilip Vengsarkar in the Mumbai Cricket Association's elections. After all, once he had roped in International Cricket Council President Sharad Pawar, the equation was just too potent for Vengsarkar's modest political and financial stature.
A sullen sports fraternity knew that politics had stolen a march on them again and after momentarily sulking, is all set to return to their lower perches. The reason why politicians target sport can be summed up in a terse quote by Deshmukh - "because sports controls youth". Indeed, by sticking his finger into the cricket pie, he gets a shot at some free publicity while simultaneously, diverting attention from his woes as leader of other ministries.
However, the scourge of politics can be a looming adversary to the progress of sport. For instance, as soon as he snared the post of President of the All India Football Federation, Praful Patel saw to it that India's most capable coach thus far Bob Houghton, was deposed, even as his players stood by him.
On the other hand Digvijay Singh, former head of the shooting federation, says that a politicians contacts aid the enhancement of a sport. Whatever the deal, several politicians have clawed their way into cricket - Narendra Modi in Gujarat, Farooq Abdullah in Jammu and Kashmir, Arun Jaitley in Delhi, Lalu Prasad Yadav in Bihar and CP Joshi in Rajasthan.
However, there are those few cricketers who have borne the clout essential to beat politicans at their own game. Former Indian cricketers Anil Kumble (as president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association) and Arshad Ayub (in Hyderadbad) have carried the torch for cricket into sports politics. Long may they reign...

You get no benefits at all by adding smart pointers to the interface. The user will delete their objects whenever they wish, regardless of what the openwire library does ... and if it does so, the openwire library will explode as soon as it tries to reference it. That's the thing - this is C++ and there is no mechanism to prevent someone from coding badly, and adding smart pointers to the API isn't going to change that. The user is responsible for both adding and removing referenes to its objects. And it's not the job of the openwire lib to worry about memory management in the user-domain - it should only be concerned with its own memory management. In addition, smart pointers are assuming that the object is allocated on the heap, as it will do a "delete" when the last reference is removed. This is wrong, because the user should be able allocate its objects in whatever way makes sense for the application. Also, adding smart pointer arguments to all the methods on the api makes it complicated and ugly. If the openwire library wants to use smart pointers internally, that's fine, but it shouldn't impose the use of smart pointers on the user. It's our job to make the user's experience a good one so they continue to use ActiveMQ in their applications. > > SP's and Strings: Semi-agreed :) The setters should all have "const > char*" > > > but we could change the getters to std:string (without SP), then it > is > > > up to the user to either use it as a std:string or a "const char*". > > > > I think symmetry is a good thing.

It's all about the user and helping them come up to speed and use the api as quickly and painlessly as possible. I understand that in these cases you're passing a pointer and not copying, but it complicates the user interface when the person just wants to pass in a string. They shouldn't have to create a string on the heap an then wrap it in a smart pointer to just call a function. --- > > Class Xxx { > string name; > void setName (const string& name) { > this->name = name; > } > const string& getName () { > return this->name; > } > string createName() { > return string ("name: " + name); > } > }; > > In this example the string is always copied in the setters but not in > getters. > > --- > > Class Xxx { > const char* name; > void setName (const char* name) { > this->name = name; > } > const char* getName () { > return this->name; > } > const char* () { > const char* val = new char[256]; > strcpy (val, "name: "); > strcat (val, name); > return val; > } > }; > > This example is unacceptable since ownership is undefined. I think you were missing my point. I would change the example to this: Class Xxx { std::string name; void setName (const char* name) { this->name = name; } const char* getName () const{ return this->name.c_str(); } }; OR ... Class Xxx { std::string name; void setName (const std::string& name) { this->name = name; } const std::string& getName () const { return this->name; } }; This way there is one copy done in the setter, but this bridges the gap between the user domain and our lib. Once that's been done, the user can access the variable via the getter all day without copying. This is a standard way of handling strings in an application. We are open to use any of the first two examples. > > Regards, > David & Mats > Regards, Nate

Isoboramine, sometimes known as isoboromine, is a Trill physiological neurotransmitter regulating connections between the symbiont and the host. Low isoboramine levels can be either harmful or fatal to both the host and symbiont. Trill Symbiosis Commission regulations state if isoboramine levels drop below 40%, a medical professional should remove the symboint, killing the host, who may be willing to die in order to save the symbiont.
In 2285, Trill Symboisis Commission records indicate medical professionals placed Tobias Dax in a coma after a shuttle accident. Left in a vegetative state until his isoboramine levels fell below 40%, the official record continues, Torias and the symboint were separated for the symboint's safety. In actuality, the Dax symbiont had been transferred to Joran Belar during this time.
Jadzia Dax's isoboramine levels fell dangerously low in 2371: a result of a chemical memory blocker wearing off in the symboint. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
After Cantabrian chief medical officer Marie Bourget joined Tawana Killan and the Jonar symbiont, Tawana reported feeling slightly disconnected from the symboint, almost as if it was hiding something from her. Bourget determined her isoboramine levels were lower than normal and issued a daily regiment of isoboramine injections to help stimulate her normal isoboramine production. (Star Trek: The Cantabrian Expeditions: "An Innocent Time", et al)

FreeMind aficionados could not have asked for more from this 'Viewer and more'. Undistorted viewer, true to the claim. 100% same look and feel. Couldn't be more happier. WellDev, WellDone.
Has great potential. v1.06 fixed file manager association/opening issue. Still needs to be able to choose or own background or have some plain colour only choices. When this comes, I'll ditch MindJet.
I have an mm file I created on desktop with freemind. Tried to open on my Xperia tablet. Cannot open. :-( ----- Updates as of 17th Nov 2014. Special thanks to WellDev's effort in providing support. I'm able to open mm files from Dropbox. However I am still unable to open mm files residing in my physical tablet/mobile phone. I'm not sure if anyone else has the same issue as me. Probably it would help to indicate in the "Description" section in the Google Play that mm files in the tablet/mobile phone cannot be opened directly for some people. Thank you.
Could some one help with this , i cant open mm files, neither on google drive nor on the internal storage
FreeMind is great, the mobile app will eventually catch up
I love using FreeMind on my PC and this app allows me to have access to my mindmaps right on my phone and tablet.
Simple and neat. Need to provide Zoom, long text support.

2011 Chrysler Town & Country Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2011 Chrysler Town & Country at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
This model has automatic temp control and all bells/whistles. We want the interior air circulation button to stay on to prevent exhaust odor from coming inside. This is especially a problem when warming up the car in the garage (even with garage door open) in the winter before we leave. This button also will not stay on while driving unless the Air conditioner button is on.
Happened all at once to both side doors.
Rear air, hot or cold will not blow anything. Nothing comes out at all, you can't hear anything running when the controls are on.
Help! What is it?! Blower motor? Blower motor resistor? Rear evaporator?
It worked when we got the vehicle just fine!
It will come on when I unlock the vehicle with the keyfob, but doesn't stay on after I start the van. Will not come on once the van has started. What can I do to fix the problem?
XM SATELLITE does not work now after getting a H/W FAIL. code displayed on radio??
When i put key in and tried to start van, it said on dash that remote start had been disabled, start van to reset. The van will not start and the key is stuck in the ignition, when i open the door the alarm goes off and i have another key but it will not do anything to stop alarm. Key is now stuck in ignition and van will not start help.
We would like to have voice command and navigation possibly more memory
Would like an estimate in canadian dollars from Selkirk Chrysler in Manitoba Canada
I purchased a used town and country today. After traveling an hour to get to dealership we found no DVD player in the car even though carfax and one of their employees confirmed the DVD was in the car. Manager said he could do nothing for us except install two screens behind the headrests that will cost $1799. The DVD player is in the dash and does work, but there are no screens in the drop down frames and again mang said it would be impossible to hook them up without tearing out entire console running the length of ceiling of the car. Since they also said there was navigation system that was also not there I'm no longer sure whatto believe. Thanks for the help
Hi, for over a year now, intermittently my van won't start, lightning bolt appears in dash.I've taken now to 2 dealerships, and they're saying, NO CODES SHOW UP! What really makes me mad, it was under warranty when I started complaining/taking to dealership.??? I'm extremely frustrated.Can anyone give me a suggestion. Thank you
We have replaced the battery, had the alternator checked and after disconnecting the battery the van will run fine for about 30 highway miles. After that the charging system failure light comes back on,after shutting the van off to try and reset stuff, the traction control light comes on, the ABS light starts flashing, the air bag light comes on, the A/C blows out hot air and the charging system failure light comes back on. Any suggestions?
Key fob is stuck in van, engine won't turn over, gearshift locked in park. Horn works, lights work, windows don't?

For the most part I'm not planning on including rule-breakers on here, but because it is Halloween I'm more than happy to!
First up... Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies. I saw these on Ultimate Recipe Showdown awhile ago, and I've made them three times now. They are definitely special occasion brownies. Don't even bother to look at the nutritional information. But they are GOOD. I didn't mess with the recipe one bit, so I'm just going to leave you with the link. And a picture...
I made these brownies to take to a Halloween party and they were a really big hit. I baked them in a 9"x9" pan and cut them into 16 brownies. They are really rich, and while I usually advocate for a more generous serving size, a smaller size worked out well this time.
I've actually never made cupcakes from scratch before. One thing I did was buy Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder. I will never buy any other kind! I used to buy just generic cocoa powder thinking, "It's powdered unsweetened chocolate? What difference can it make?" Oh, it's a big difference. I can't believe what I was missing! I was eating the batter with a spoon! It tasted like pudding. I now plan on testing out some really high quality cocoa powder in the near future. I also may need to make chocolate pudding.
The cupcakes are perfect. This recipe made 18 cupcakes for me. I really won't touch the recipe and I would not recommend any changes. After reading the reviews of the frosting, I made a double batch. I now have a huge bag of frosting in my fridge, so stick with a single batch!
The brownies, however, I have plans for. I think these are going to be featured in a recipe remix.

|Minimum Stay

NOTE: No reviews appear since April/2015 due to the fact that we have been living on the property ourselves and it hasn't been available.
Welcome to Los Mangos ! Built three years ago the home is in pristine condition.
A truly stunning ocean and coastline view extends for miles upon miles from north of the famous Whale's Tail down the coast, around to the Osa Peninsula and across the sea to Cano Island; a popular dive and snorkeling area. With perfect temperatures, at 1600 feet in elevation, feel the warmth of the sun while staying cool enough to never need air conditioning. Located on the central pacific coast in upscale Escalares, you are just a 20 minute drive from the sleepy surf town of Dominical. This area is one of the only areas of Costa Rica where the mountains rise out of the sea offering a true jungle experience with spectacular ocean views.
Our Costa Verde community is very secure due to its location and the entrance being gated and manned by a guard that monitors all visitors. Situated on 10 acres at the end of a road, the home is completely private and quiet.
All you will hear are the birds, the occasional howler monkey, and see our daily visit from our resident pizote and beautiful Toucans.
The house is all on one level. The extra large great room is perfect for relaxing with family and friends, while still enjoying the dramatic vista through a wall of windows. Lending to the open feel, 3 extra-wide patio sliders open out to the view and outdoor dining area. The interior feels warm yet elegant with marble floors and wood carvings from Bali. The house is newly built, clean, solid, and well-sealed. The kitchen is equipped with granite counter-tops, top-end appliances and all the cooking gear you need. The large luxurious leather couch is comfortable for socializing or stretching out and watching the large screen TV. There are also ceiling fans in the bedrooms, kitchen and living area. The Blu-ray player plays blu-ray disks, regular dvd's and music cd's. Also Sky TV provides HBO, CNN, Bloomberg news, music channels, movies, and much more. We also have a soundbar that enables music to be played from your ipad, iphone, etc via bluetooth. Many homes in Costa Rica are not built with the idea of keeping spiders, geckos, etc out of the home. This home was constructed to minimize these intrusions. All windows and slider doors have tight screens. We also regularly have the outside of the home sprayed for spiders.
With two walls of windows, the master bedroom, with queen bed, overlooks the pool and the stunning panorama. Window curtains are provided for privacy. The on-suite bathroom features an extra large walk-in shower and double sinks. Just outside, toward the jungle side of the house, is an outdoor shower with a gorgeous mosaic tile wall. The smaller second and third bedrooms, each with a queen bed, share a bathroom that also has a walk-in shower and the second outdoor shower facing the jungle. Each bedroom has storage shelving for clothes, suitcases, etc. The fully stocked laundry room has full sized washer and dryer.
Outdoors you can bask in the sun by the pool or relax with a book or a drink on the covered terrace, or just enjoy the scenery and wildlife. How about starting the day with a game of tennis on the newly constructed court located within the development?
A small grocery market in nearby Dominical has almost everything you might need. For more variety there is a bigger supermarket in Uvita, about 20 minutes south of Dominical. The newly built San Buenas Golf Course is also located in Uvita. And if you want to travel further - the largest nearby city of San Isidro El General lies 40 minutes up into the Talamanca mountain range offering a wide range of stores. If you aren't in the mood to cook, there are a number of excellent options for dining out in Dominical and Uvita. Plus don't miss the world-class restaurants in Ojochal just 30 minutes down the main road. Your activities might include seeing the wildlife at Hacienda Baru, taking the Osa Mountain canopy tour, going on the Nauyaca Falls horseback tour, strolling down a beautiful secluded beach, or surfing.
A local manager will meet you when you arrive and be available to assist with any needs you may have. They can help arrange on-site massage, tours, additional housekeeping, or practically anything you desire.
We love Costa Rica for so many reasons some of which are the wildlife, jungle, sunshine, temperate climate, and happy people. We currently live in the U.S. in Washington state and vacationed in Costa Rica many times at different times of the year before purchasing this home in July 2013.
Doug & Maggie purchased this house in 2013
The privacy of this property is unmatched. A new tennis court is available for guests within the development as well as an indoor weight room
Our stay at Los Mangos was everything you want for a vacation getaway! The home was picturesque in every way...the spectacular view, an abundance of wildlife to enjoy, and a wonderful inviting home. The home's open concept and high ceilings provided for great airflow and perfect breezes. The well stocked kitchen was perfect for preparing meals at home. The furniture and the beds were top of the line, and the patio and pool quickly became our favorite spot to relax and enjoy nature.
The owners of our rental were friendly, well organized, and provided us with great travel tips and site seeing recommendations. The Wifi and internet were reliable and let us watch a movie or catch up on the news when we spent an evening relaxing.
The local towns have stores for shopping needs and the restaurants provide local cuisine with friendly service at great prices. Fine dining options are also available, reservations are recommended for some of these. The location is a perfect home base for visiting a Uvita, Dominical, Osa Pennisula, and San Isidro. The local farmers markets have the best produce and other local favorite food selections.
We visited wildlife preservation areas, took the Mangrove boat tour, rode ATVs to the waterfalls, and spent time at the many beaches (Playo) the area offers.
I highly recommend this vacation getaway and we plan on returning again in the future. Los Mangos in Costa Verde is a paradise vacation destination and Costa Rica is a must on your bucket list experience!
Pura Vida!
We just got back from 8 days in Costa Rica staying at this unbelievable property with our three sons ages 17. 14, 12. The house is as pictured; top of the line appliances, beautiful furnishings, and a billion dollar view! We had monkeys visiting in the morning, toucans all day, even a wild pig ran across the grass! The location is perfectly between Dominical and Uvita making day trips to beaches, dinners, zip lining, waterfall repelling and jet skiing in Manuel Antonio easy. The drive from the highway to the house is 15 minutes pretty much straight up a mountain on unpaved roads. Rent a 4-wheel drive SUV and get full insurance. I'm pretty sure our car needs new brakes by the time we were done. It's like you have to put in your 15 minutes of work to earn that special view and it's worth it every time. Loved that it's in a gated community with security which also makes the drive worth it.
Doug, the owner, is incredibly responsive and helpful with information. If I'm ever lucky enough to get back to Costa Rica I will be staying here again!! Pura Vida!
My husband and I visited Los Mangos in March and would definitely go back! The owner is very responsive, the property managers are fantastic and the home is very private, clean and well stocked with all of the cooking essentials (mixers, coffee machine, silverware etc). The home has amazing views and is in a central location that provides easy access to the surrounding towns and activities. Horseback riding, zip lining, kayaking and the Manuel Antonio National Park are all feasible with 1/2 day trips. We loved being able to grocery shop (check out the BM in Uvita) and cook our own food on the grill. On the property we saw an abundance of wildlife including hummingbirds, butterflies, toucans and even white faced monkeys! The house is located about 15 minutes up a mountain and you will absolutely need 4-wheel drive to get there. The pool was beautiful and we spent many days just relaxing at the house. We definitely recommend Los Mangos if you're looking for some quiet down time with flexibility to also do some sight seeing.
We traveled to Costa Rica in mid-March 2015 and had the most amazing time. This home is ideally located between Dominical and Uvita. Be prepared for about a 15 minute trek/adventure up the mountain to get there, but it is well worth it once you arrive. The home is very private, absolutely beautiful, spacious and clean. The views are amazing. It was so fun to wake up to the sounds of the jungle, see Toucans in the trees, hummingbirds and butterflies. The owner and property managers were responsive and very easy to deal with.
Our family of 4 spent Christmas 2014 at this beautiful home in the mountains overlooking the coast and the Whale's Tail. From the moment I made contact with the owners, all my questions and concerns were dealt with promptly and efficiently. The property managers, Rachel and Adam, are a pleasure to deal with, and very professional and responsive.
Every morning, my husband and I would sit on the patio overlooking the pool and the coast, sipping our coffee and listening to the sounds of nature. At night, my daughter and I would go for a swim in the pool and admire the sheer number of stars. During the day, if we weren't having a pool day, we would make day trips to participate in various activities or to hit the beach. Favorite activities included the Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, ziplining and Superman tour with Midworld near Quepos, surfing in Dominical, and kayaking in the mangroves with Pineapple Kayak Tours in Dominical. Lots of interesting dining choices are all within half an hour drive in both directions once you reach the highway.
The home was very clean and had everything we needed, including a fridge with an ice/water dispenser (no ice cube trays needed!). Kitchen was well stocked with items needed for cooking and storing food, including Ziploc bags and Tupperware-type containers. good barbecue, and we made good use of the laundry facilities.
We highly recommend this property for people who want to enjoy the peace and beauty of southern Costa Rica. The home is far enough removed from town to be a haven, but close enough to the highway that you could easily access all that you needed.
Pura Vida
Our vacation in Costa Verde was a huge success. This property exceeded our expectations. My family spent a week there in Jan 2014 and fell in love with the place and the people.
The venue: this house is amazing. It is nestled into the mountain overlooking the coast. The views of the Whale's Tail and the stars at night are over the top. You are part of nature. There are many local animals in the neighborhood (no need for an alarm clock!). Very private. The house materials are all natural wood and stone, the layout very open to outdoors and the pool deck. It has all the cooking amenities. The locked dry room is very reassuring, but there is no hint of crime in this area because it is a gated community.
Not a spot for the club scene - a more laid back atmosphere. The Dominical area is kind of funky and not at all touristy. People are super nice. Some cool little restaurants (try Maracatu). We stopped by the local fish market (Lamancha) several days to get fresh tuna and mahi and cooked it up on the grill. Check out the pictures of the place. The reality is more grand. Every day was jut "wow".
The area: located between Dominical and Uvita. The house location is a great platform for day trips, we checked out (from N to S): Playa Hermosa, national park at Manuel Antonio (recommend certified tour guide), beach at Manuel Antonio, nature hike at Hacienda Baru (will try Flight of Toucan next time), surfing at Dominical, whale watch tour out of Uvita (no whales, but a great day), and several local beaches such as Tortuga and Playa Ventanas.
Some things to be aware of. Take your time. The highway from San Jose along the coast is a dangerous mixture of high speed to very low tech. We saw a nasty motorcycle accident. The road to the house is very rugged. You will need a 4 wheel vehicle. It is amazing how the cool the climate is on the mountain, but an adventure to get there. There are critters. Saw monkeys in the neighborhood (not at the house). Many birds. Some wild boar paid a visit one morning. We saw an interesting snake and some impressive insects. No issues, but please be aware of your surroundings. The house has (slow) wi-fi, but I will get a local phone next time.
I strongly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation. It is special. For all future tenants, please be gentle with it. The house has a lot of nice furniture and accessories. Don't mess it up. Pura Vita.

In order for electricity to flow through a conductor, the voltage at one point on the conductor must be made different from the voltage at another point.
For example one end of a wire (which is a conductor) can touch one terminal of a battery, but there's no current in the wire until its other end touches the other battery terminal.
The bird's body could also be a conductor, but both feet are at the same voltage, since both are touching the same wire.
