Blogging is a unique way of making money. Paying attention to details will help one establish their hold in the competitive world of online blogging.
Blogging is a unique way of making money online. Gone are the days when only selected few were active in this field and made money through this medium. The advent of technology has made it possible for a commoner to get into the act and make some extra bucks.
However, all said and done making money through blogging is an art and one needs to be well versed with various facts of blogging so as to emerge victorious in this challenging field.
1.) Understand the basics
You need to understand that a typical blog is a combination of videos, graphics and well written text. Take care to make the blog interactive as this attracts the attention of readers to your blog. An interactive blog will bring success to your venture and enable you to remain connected with the masses.
2.) Write in a pleasing tone
The tone of the blog makes all the difference to your presentation. The need is to connect with the reader and ensure that they identify with thoughts that you wish to spread.
3.) Choose the domain name with care
In case you intend to make money from the blog, the choice of niche category matters the most. In case you are intending to promote a product as eye care medicine through the blog the domain name needs to be somewhat like " eyecaremedicine.com". Check the domain name in advance and choose one that matches with your cause.
4.) Blog software
The blog software to be used needs to be chosen with care. A range of blogging software including WordPress and Blogger are available.Check the one that matches your needs with perfection.
These are some of the basics of blogging that need to be taken care of while you decide to blog. Better if you choose topics from your niche interest area as you will be having ample hold of the subject matter.

Blogging is a very good and legitimate way of making some good money online. It guarantees you steady passive income and you do not need to work all day for you to get the benefits of it. The rate at which you earn however depends on the interest and how positive it affects your readers. It is always advisable to carve out a niche for yourself even before you think of establishing a blog. Discover that which you are happy doing so that you can easily do it without stress or having to consult so many books before you publish any post.
Certain people make money doing what they love doing and invariably, touching lives as well and that is exactly what a good blogger should posses. Each time you see them want to publish a post, it sounds as though they are talking and making reference to some articles but in the real sense, everything comes from their innermost self. That is the spirit of blogging.

I think you have left out the most important point. Who pays you? Surely someone must pay you if you want to make (or rather earn) money. Am I right?

These days it is getting difficult to earn through blogging unless one has a decent blog with good traffic. But traffic won''t come overnight. There has to be lots of technicalities like SEO and keywords apart from what you mentioned above. With Google getting tough, it is hard for new blogs and sites to come in the search results early.

Combine the color tan with a little grey and you get light tan dun. This color is sometimes found with badger like markings with the list being a darker shade of tan dun then the outer tan dun. Light tan dun merges into medium brown dun and is on the fringes of light ginger dun, light grey dun, pale watery dun, medium grey dun and brown grey dun. Darker light tan dun can be suitable for the famed Light Hendrickson dry fly pattern. Light Tan Dun is also good for tying PMDs and PWD's as well.
We have over 1,000 capes and saddles in stock and we generally have more than one
of each color. Since from bird to bird the colors may vary (as well as dyed colors)

In a spherical, time-independent potential, the energy E and angular momentum J of each star are conserved. The Jeans theorem implies that any function f(E,J) is a solution of the time-independent collisionless Boltzmann Equation.
Let I(x,v) be a function which depends on the phase-space coordinates x and v, and let x(t) and v(t)=dx/dt be a parametric representation of an orbit. If
d (1) -- I(x(t),v(t)) = 0 dtfor all orbits, then I(x,v) is an integral of motion (BT87, Chapter 3.1).
Any integral of the motion is a solution of the time-independent CBE. The proof is straightforward:
dI dI dx dI dv dI dPhi dI (2) 0 = -- = -- . -- + -- . -- = v . -- - ---- . -- , dt dx dt dv dt dx dx dvwhere the first equality follows because I is an integral, the second by the chain rule, and the third by substitution of the equations of motion. Moreover, any function F(x,v) which depends on (x,v) only through one or more integrals of motion,
(3) F(x,v) = F(I_1(x,v),I_2(x,v), ...) ,is also a solution of the time-independent CBE (BT87, Chapter 4.4). The Jeans theorem is useful in constructing equilibrium models of stellar systems.
The simplest use of the Jeans Theorem is the construction of isotropic models of spherical galaxies; in this case, the distribution function f(x,v) is a function of E only. In a self-consistent system, the gravitational field is related to the mass density by Poissons equation; adopting spherical coordinates, we have
-2 d 2 dPhi (4) r -- (r ----) = 4 pi G rho(r) . dr drThe mass density rho(r) is the integral of f(x,v) over all velocities; since the velocity distribution is isotropic,
/ 2 (5) rho(r) = 4 pi | dv v f(E(r,v)) . /Assuming that the system has a finite total mass, it follows that the stars must have velocities less than the local escape velocity; thus f(E) must vanish for energies less than the corresponding escape energy. It is convenient to adopt the boundary condition Phi -> 0 at infinity; then the escape energy is zero and all bound stars at radius r have energies between Phi(r) and 0. Using the definition of the binding energy E = Phi(r) + 0.5 v^2 to change the integration variable gives
/ 0 | 1/2 (6) rho = 4 pi | dE (2E - 2Phi) f(E) . | / Phi
Given any functional form for f(E) which is non-negative for all E < 0, use Eq. 6 to calculate the function rho(Phi), and insert the result in Eq. 4. This now gives an ODE for Phi as a function of r:
-2 d 2 dPhi (7) r -- (r ----) = 4 pi G rho(Phi) . dr drSolving this equation yields rho and Phi as functions of r.
Plummer's model is perhaps the simplest example of this procedure (BT87, Chapter 4.4.3(a)). The distribution function has the form
7/2 f(E) = F (-E) , E < 0 , (8) = 0 , E > 0 ,where F is a constant. Eq. 6 gives rho ~ (-Phi)^5, and Eq. 7 becomes
-2 d 2 dPhi 5 (9) r -- (r ----) = K (-Phi) , dr drwhere K is a constant. The solution yields a model with the density profile
3 -3 2 2 -5/2 (10) rho(r) = --- M a (1 + r /a ) , 4piwhere M is the total mass and a is a scale radius. This model was originally devised to describe observations of star clusters. It is actually not a very good model for elliptical galaxies, because at large r the density is rho ~ r^-5, considerably steeper than the density profiles of E galaxies.
Other models derived by starting with a distribution function include the polytropes (where f is a power-law in E), the `isothermal sphere' (velocities have a Maxwellian distribution), and the King (1966) model or `lowered isothermal'.
Suppose instead that the density profile rho(r)is known; the goal is now to solve for the distribution function. Eq. 4 yields the potential Phi(r), and inverting this function allows us to calculate rho(Phi). Eq. 6 relates rho(Phi) to the distribution function; differentiating this equation by Phi yields
/ 0 d rho 1/2 | -1/2 (11) ----- = 8 pi | dE (E - Phi) f(E) , d Phi | / Phiwhich is an Abel integral equation; it can be solved to obtain f(E) (BT87, Chapter 4.4.3(d)).
Jaffe's model (Jaffe 1983) is one of a number which have been proposed as approximations to the density profiles of elliptical galaxies. This model has the form
1 -2 -2 (12) rho(r) = --- M a r (r + a) , 4piwhere again M is the total mass and a is a scale radius. The potential is given by
M r (13) Phi(r) = G - ln(-----) . a r + aThe distribution function which generates this model may be expressed in terms of Dawson's integral.
If the velocity distribution is not isotropic then f(x,v) is a function of E and the angular momentum J. Most interesting are systems where f depends on the magnitude of J but not on its direction. Eq. 5 is then replaced by a double integral:
/ / pi | 2 | (14) rho(r) = 2 pi | dv v | deta sin(eta) f(E,J) , | | / / 0where eta is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors and J = |r v sin(eta)| is the magnitude of the angular momentum.
Proceeding by analogy with the isotropic case, one can pick a form for f(E,J) and calculate the corresponding density profile; examples include the `generalized polytropes' (power laws in E and J) as well as many more physically motivated models.
Likewise, one may pick a rho(r) and find an anisotropic distribution function. Because f(E,J) is a function of two variables, there are an enormous number of possible anisotropic distribution functions which produce a given density profile. One choice are the Osipkov-Merritt models (Osipkov 1979, Merritt 1985), which assume that f = f(Q), where
1 2 2 2 (15) Q = Phi(r) + - v (1 + (r/r_a) sin (eta)) , 2and r_a is the anisotropy radius. For r < r_a the velocity distribution is approximately isotropic, while for r > r_a it is increasingly anisotropic. At any given radius the distribution function is stratified on spheroidal shells in velocity space.
Due date: 2/16/95
13. Starting with Eq. 10, find the functional form for the gravitational potential of the Plummer model (up to a multiplicative constant), and verify that it obeys Eq. 9.

Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International.
Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through.
Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler – twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus.
The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares.
According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st- richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

We are helped in this process by the fact that the outer planets are at least part of our solar system; they are gods that we can recognise through the stories about them. They are like us as well as being 'Other'.
But when it comes to the Galactic Centre, there is no such overlap. The GC represents the evolutionary impulse within matter-consciousness in its widest yet most direct form. It is the force within the universe that makes all forms of life feel the urge to grow and unfold. And having it aspecting a personal planet is like being directly connected to a nuclear power station, without the usual series of steam turbines, transformers etc that make its energy usable by ordinary household appliances.
So if you can work with the energy of the GC, amazing things with wide significance will be achieved – after all, it is the evolutionary energy of the whole universe that one is being plugged into, so a wider significance is inevitable. On the other hand, it is also hard not to also be driven a little bit crazy by it. I think that George W Bush is a good example. For now I want to stick to 4 degree conjunctions and oppositions, but I'm going to make an exception in the case of GWB. His nodal axis is at 20.35 Gemini-Sag, and his Galactic Centre is at 26.07 Sag.
The thing about Sagittarians is that they are prone to feel that God is speaking through them anyway, even without the Galactic Centre getting involved, so I think the GC intensifies this possibility. With Gemini (North) - Sag (South) Nodes, it is easy (South Node) to feel you are the voice of God, and the lesson (North Node) is to bring in discriminating awareness (Gemini). With the GC sitting there, the lesson is that much harder. For GWB, who has a weak Sun – in the 12th House and square to Chiron – it is very difficult for him to sustain his individuality in the face of what he feels to be God speaking through him.
Saddam Hussein was executed this morning at just before 6am (local time) in Baghdad. The ASC was at 21 Sag, straddled by Mars at 17 Sag and Pluto at 27 Sag – an appropriate signature for a violent (Mars) death (Pluto). And there is George Bush's nodal axis running along the ASC-DESC axis of the death chart. The Galactic Centre, of course, is involved as well, sitting next to Pluto at 27 Sag – less than a day after the exact conjunction, which only occurs every 240 years. And Saddam's death has been a direct result of George Bush's decision, or rather his directions from God, to invade Iraq.
There is a further connection with GWB's chart, in that both have a Mercury-Pluto conjunction just below the ASC – in Bush's case, I have always thought that it is this that has given him his ready association with death while in office, whether as governor of Texas or President of the USA.
To give a more positive example of the Galactic Centre in a chart, Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the internet was born on 8 June 1955, with North Node at 26.21 Sag, and GC at 26.14 Sag (he also has Mercury opposite at 28.07 Gemini). I think that a characteristic of the GC in a chart is that one's actions are connected to the Collective and can have a profoundly progressive, evolutionary effect on a wide scale. Which Berners-Lee has achieved through his invention of the Internet.
And which Neil Armstrong achieved through being the first man on the Moon. He has Moon (of all planets!) at 25.24 Sag conjunct GC at 25.53 Sag. Note the tightness of the conjunctions in this case and in the case of Berners-Lee, and how central to our culture their achievements have been. Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the Moon, has DESC at 26.44 Sag, less than a degree off the GC at 25.53 Sag.
A few other figures with conjunctions to the GC are: Steven Spielberg (Sun 20 minutes off GC), Rupert Murdoch (Moon 1½ degrees, ASC 5½ degrees off GC), Tiger Woods (Moon 4.08 degrees, IC 2.34 degrees off GC), Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (MC 4.13 degrees off GC), Billy Graham (Moon 3.03 degrees off GC).
Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma Bomber, had DESC within 31 minutes of the GC, as well as Moon, Uranus and Pluto more widely square the GC. He was at war with the government, and seems to have lived in a fantastical, extremist way, consistent with a personality unable to handle the extremely high voltage of the GC.
David Cameron, the leader of the UK Conservative Party, has his IC within a couple of degrees of the GC. We have yet to see what he will achieve, but being one of the 1960s Uranus-Pluto generation, and with it (widely) square to his GC, he has the capacity to creatively lead the UK through the testing times that the upcoming Uranus-Pluto square seem to portend – that is, providing he doesn't identify himself too much with the outer planet/GC energy that is working through him. (Winston Churchill, a Conservative leader who certainly led Britain through testing times, had IC within 5 degrees of the Galactic Centre).
Prince William, 2nd in line to the British throne, has his ASC and Neptune within a degree of the GC, and his Sun opposite the GC within 3½ degrees. His Moon is more widely opposite it. So, however he turns out, he seems destined to be deeply involved in the events of his time: he won't be just an irrelevant anachronism, another perfectly feasible outcome for a British king.
Of the people I know with close conjunctions to the Galactic Centre, I have noticed in a number of them what could technically be called a wonky connection with the bigger, wider issues of life: they are strongly connected to that dimension, but they also tend to become identified with it and make pronouncements around it that are simply wrong! One person I know of has Sun conjunct GC, and has spent the last 30 years as the leading disciple within a religious group. He'll make pronouncements about anything, and takes what he says terribly seriously, but it's all based around quite a skewed and limited view of human nature. Another person, with GC conjunct ASC, gets grandiose visions around what she can achieve – but then, to her credit, realises what she's been doing when she falls flat on her face. Until the next time!
So with the GC conjunction, I think there tends to be an unusually strong energy running through people that means they can achieve a lot, for better or for worse, and that at best can profoundly advance whatever collective unfoldment humanity is going through. In a personal chart, where it is strongly aspected, I think there can also be a need to separate out, and become discerning of, what seems to be the 'voice of God' within oneself. Because the GC can be very destructive if it is operating unconsciously.

Hi Dharmaruci,
I just stumbled onto your blog and am enjoying it immensely. I send out a weekly newsletter and will be recommending this link for good reads on the Galactic Center....and more!

Hi - Interesting stuff, I have only just found out about the GC - since I have Mars Venus Sun and Mercury conjunct 23, 29 Sag, 2, 6 Cap in the 9th house and also moon exactly quincunx GC - it is all very fascinating to me. I find your ideas to fit with my experience - I have great problems with energy flow. I am trying to discover more of what all of this might mean to me

Have been interested in the GC for some time now. I was born in May 1955 and have Nth Node 26 Sag - conjunct the GC. Also I have Mercury at 26 43 of Gemini, conjunct my Sth Node and opposite the GC.
Now that Pluto is on the GC and triggering this configuration I feel under intense pressure. Recently when Mars was conjunct my Mercury this was almost unbearable. A bit easier since Mars has moved into Cancer.
I am most curious to see what the Jupiter conjunct Pluto conjunct GC will bring for me personally. I feel this Pluto on my Nth Node GC is a fateful turning point for me, and am hoping the Jupiter transit will be for the better.

Hi Viviene, you've also currently got Neptune opposing your Moon and Pluto getting close to opposing your Mars, so there's quite a few factors going on!

I heard about all this 20 years ago and have always been eager to understand its significance, because I have a 3rd house Moon smack-dab on the GC. If anyone can give me insight as to what this could mean...
Ive recently completely abandoned my Christian faith. I am a different person today than I was even a year ago, Ive also abandoned life-long self-destructive habits!!

Hi I too have the Galactic Center conjunct my North Node any insights would be appreciated.
- 2:38 am, January 10, 2009
my moon and sun are around GC within 4 and 3 degrees...so i think this text is not realistic...i mean... there is so many people with this "hard" aspects and in the end we are just normal ordinary people...we dont think we are the voice of the God or whatever
best regardes
- 4:55 pm, June 09, 2009
funny that many of the posters have north node conjunct GC. ME too! (maybe something that we need to figure out, intuitively need to get to the root of.)
as regards me...have a big interest in ufological concerns - maybe that fits generally with GC affairs?? - the fact that we are not the one and only civilisation in this galaxy - that there are others too!
my ufological youtube channell - (and actually did most of this during the 2007 Pluto conjuct GC timeframe...would that make sense (fit)??)

oh yeah - forgot to say - Great article!!

Happy new year! and thanks so much for this article. I have only just found out about the galactic centre and that it is exactly opposite my venus. My gemini sun is nearby at 25'19, so maybe not a strong factor.
You don't really mention oppositions, does that mean that these aspects have an even harder time integrating the energy of the GC?

I came across your post and I found it most intriguing. I have the Ascendant 0° 13' separating the Galactic Center. I know in your article you mention you don't give more than a 4° orb by conjunction and / or opposition but I've also noticed that my Sun (18° 06' Sagittarius) also makes a wide conjunction to the Galactic Center (8° 38' applying).
The Galactic Center doesn't aspect any other planet, angle, or celestial body in my chart.
What is your take on this? Thank you very much :)

Accidentally I decided to find out what is going on with GC and somehow found your fascinating blog. My GC is three degrees far away from badly aspected/ afflicted Neptune at the very end of fourth house. I am an unemployed economist / housewife and my True node is in 12. House. I want so much to help people with ALS, MND and other neuromuscular disorders since I think I know what would be the protocol/ medicine for that. Isn't it insane? My wish is so strong and I am wondering is it because of that GC? I found a few people on the internet experiencing the similar way of healing and I would like sick people to know that there is a complex way to live better. It is not about meditation or praying but the combination of medicines. Some day it seems lunatic to me, some day I am overwhelmed with such idea. Could it be because of that GC on my Neptune? It is so strange that I have that strong feeling that I could heal the terminal ill people. It is so seroius and unnormal in the same time, specially that I am not a doctor ( but I have South node in 6 house). Thanks a lot for such great blog post, I enjoyed it very much!

Holy Moly... just came from an acupuncture treatment where the doctor said I have to find ways to let Chi run more smoothly: Merc. @ 23.23 Sag; ASC @ 25.56 Sag; Sun @ 28.04 Sag, in a T-Square with Uranus/Pallas/Pluto in Virgo opposing Chiron/Pisces, and I have my Chiron Return with progressed Mars sitting there, to boot, so essentially part of the config.
Projectile vomiting comes to mind! Lordy... no wonder I've been so bilious ;)
Perhaps I could tap into the GC, as a syringe/funnel for whatever needs removing? Anyone have experience working with the energy?

I've got NN conjunct GC with Saturn conjunct SN. I suppose the benefit is I have a grand trine to Saturn involving Sun/Jupiter (1st/Asc) and Uranus (8th). I do have Pluto square Saturn/SN but not GC/NN. I want to change the world, wake people and make them aware of their true potential. Finding a good way to do that, is of course the tricky part.

Hey Barry!
I'm Michelle. I've enjoyed your articles on the Galactic Center and on Uranus & Neptune conjunction. I have my Ascendant at 26.33' and also have Uranus, Neptune & Vesta conjunct in Capricorn. Neptune at 19.46', Uranus at 19.53', and Vesta at 17.47'.This connection forms a Yod with Chiron and the South Node in my chart. The conjunction is actually the apex of the yod. I was born on Feb 8, 1993 at 3:51AM in Winter Park Memorial Hospital, FL if you would like to look at my chart.
I am an astrologer as well, I have been since I could remember as a little girl. I also see energies and auras very strongly, as the years go on it becomes more intense. My connection to "God" or whatever one chooses to call it is very strong. I experience such a strong amount of energy every day and sometimes it becomes too much for me. I often have difficulty being around other people because of my sensitivities. The Uranus and Neptune conjunction in the millennial generation, I believe, is going to bring about a large movement throughout our lifetimes. I believe this impulse will primarily be about helping humanity, and the awakening of individuals to their True nature, sparking the impulse to help mankind from the bonds of conditioned existence. The internet, I think will be a very key part in this movement because of the accessibility. After all the internet is basically like a tangible collective consciousness, connecting individuals from across the globe.
As for the Galactic Center, I also believe that individuals with conjunctions to this amazing center, need to be activated through some form of self-study, discipleship, and/or spiritual will. The energy is too intense and people can get "Burned" by the light if they are not careful.
Anyways, have a wonderful Holiday!

Hey Gurls! I'm your newest friendly face here, and I wanted to take some time to share a few fun facts about me. You may have seen me on CollegeCandy, but now I'm here at Gurl and couldn't be more excited! I want to be very open with my you all, so here we go! I graduated from the University of Alabama last May and moved up to New York in August. It's been a wild ride so far, and I'm so glad to have you along with me.
I really like lists. So without futher ado, here are 10 things you should know about me:
1. I'm an amazing juggler. I learned at camp when I was in 6th grade, and it became a random talent that just stuck. I wanted to be in the circus, but I'm afraid of clowns.
2. I'm terrified of fish. Like really, irrationally afraid. This comes after a snorkeling incident from my childhood, and I won't even go in the ocean if I can't see my feet.
3. I love, love, love Harry Potter. I'm that girl. I will gladly stop what I'm doing if ABC Family has an HP marathon on, I own a wand, I've played Quidditch.
4. I drink more coffee than water. It's not healthy, I know. But I can't help it. I generally have a latte and my phone attached to my hand at all times.
5. I shop at thrift stores. I shop at regular stores too, but I go to Goodwill a lot. I find stuff that's too big and alter it. I found a Dior blazer for $4 once. You never know what you'll find!
6. My eyes change color. They're usually green, but they change quite frequently to blue or gray or gold-ish.
7. I'm the only Southerner in my family. I'm a Georgia peach, born and raised. Everyone else in my family is from Long Island, NY.
8. I love sports. I grew up around lacrosse and football. I'd rather watch a game over reality TV anyday. And I went to Alabama, you have to love football. And we just won our 15th National Championship so…no big deal.
9. Starbucks has only spelled my name right once. I get Caitilin, Kaitlin, Katelyn, Kathleen, ???, and more. But one time I did say my name was Voldemort and they wrote "He who must not be named," which was the coolest.
10. I've had four near death experiences, and I'm only 22. Hopefully, I won't have anymore in the near future. Knock on wood.
You'll learn a lot about me as we move forward. I mean, I know this relationship is new. I don't want to go too fast. I want y'all to feel like you can chat with me so feel free to ask me questions in the comments!
Check out these self-esteem boosters and get happy!

A quote about losing one's mother comes from the famous psychiatrist Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, known for describing the stages of grief: "The reality is that you will grieve forever." The full passage goes on to claim that such a pivotal loss is sure to leave a lasting impact on the child; even if life is rebuilt, it will never be the same.
Another quote in the same vein comes from writer Cheryl Strayed, who has written extensively about losing a mother in her memoir "Wild" and her essay collection "Tiny Beautiful Things." In one advice column, "The Black Arc of It," to illustrate the enduring devastation of losing a mother, she quotes a friend who says, ""It will never be okay that our mothers are dead."
Kübler-Ross' quote is especially significant given that in her groundbreaking 1969 book "On Death and Dying," she proposed five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. However, the quote acknowledges that the impact of losing a mother or a loved one is felt forever.
About.com has a collection of proverbs, quotes and poems about mothers and losing mothers. These include quotes by writer Mark Twain, former U.S. President George Washington and writer Isabel Allende.
ModernLoss.com, which contains articles and resources related to grief and loss, has a selected collection of more general quotations about loss, including excerpts from poems and ancient proverbs.
Many of these quotations are themed around the devastation and unprecedented nature of the loss of a mother, as the loss of a parent is considered an extremely stressful major life event.

Entry-level guidance for managing born-digital content
James Williams <[log in to unmask]>

(15 lines)
Facet Publishing have announced the release of Heather Ryan and Walker Sampson's The No-nonsense Guide to Born-digital Content.
Libraries and archives of all sizes are collecting and managing an increasing proportion of digital content. Within this body of digital content is a growing pool of 'born-digital' content: content that has been created and has often existed solely in digital form. The No-nonsense Guide to Born-digital Content explains step by step processes for developing and implementing born-digital content workflows in library and archive settings and includes a range of case studies collected from small, medium and large institutions internationally.
Authors Heather Ryan and Walker Sampson said, "Our book is for librarians and archivists who have found themselves managing or are planning to manage born-digital content and who may feel somewhat unsure of their ability to take on a task that by all appearances demands a high level of technological expertise".
The book covers the basics of digital information; selection, acquisition, accessioning and ingest; description, preservation and access; methods for designing and implementing workflows for born-digital collection processing; and strategies and philosophies to move forward as technologies change.
Trevor Owens, Head of Digital Content Management at the Library of Congress said, "Librarians, archivists and museum professionals need to collectively move away from thinking about digital, and in particular born-digital, as being niche topics for specialists. If our institutions are to meet the mounting challenges of serving the cultural memory functions of an increasingly digital-first society the institutions themselves need to transition to become digital-first themselves. We can't just keep hiring a handful of people with the word 'digital' in their job titles. You don't go to a digital doctor to get someone who uses computing as part of their medical practice, and we can't expect that the digital archivists are the ones who will be the people who do digital things in archives. The things this book covers are things that all cultural heritage professionals need to get up to speed on".
Heather Ryan is the Director of Special Collections, Archives & Preservation and Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. She earned her PhD in Information and Library Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Walker Sampson is the Digital Archivist at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. He earned his MS in Information Science at the University of Texas at Austin before beginning work at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in 2011.

* Oliver Hunt wrote: >Obviously the spec should not (cannot?) define accelerators, but we >would ideally have some kind of specification to define what events >should be fired, and whether they should be allowed to prevent >default handling, etc. It is these that it would be good to define. I am afraid it is not really clear to me where the specification is lacking in this regard. To give an example, my desktop has a launch mail application key. If I press it, the browser should not make that fact available to possibly malicious web sites, much less allow them to prevent me launching the mail application. In some other context it might well be appropriate to make the application aware of the key press and perhaps allow the application to prevent the default action. In a different setup, you might be on a web site that uses accesskey navigation on some HTML document and normally, say, ALT+S takes you to some search input control; in that case informing the application of the key press and allowing it to cancel the focus change might be appropriate, but naturally the application cannot know whether ALT+S will do accesskey navigation, or, say, trigger a Save As dialog for the current web page, and maybe the latter should not be cancelable. As it stands, all keyboard events browsers generate are cancelable, but the specification generally does not say what default action any particular keyboard event object might have, so you might well end up with a canceled LaunchMail event object, but the mail application is launched nevertheless. So I don't see what the specification might say in addition to what it says at the moment, except perhaps pointing out in the Security Considerations section, that sometimes you might not want to inform DOM applications of certain key presses. I do not understand what is unclear about what events should be fired, could you give a specific example of keyboard input and the possible interpretations of the current specification text? >Only WebKit's output had a valid keyIdentifier, but it used the >unicode sequence U+0043, rather than "Copy" which is probably what is >expected :-/ That does indeed sound wrong, unless perhaps, to give an example, the keyboard driver maps all Copy presses to a sequence of CTRL+C presses or whatever might be associated with that action, e.g. to accomodate legacy applications. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:email@example.com · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.

The Benefits of Rubbish Removal
You will have a more pleasing environment if you take steps to regularly remove the rubbish that you have created through your daily routines. A regular schedule of cleaning the home and garden can ensure that you will be living in healthy conditions and one that is pleasing to the eye and senses.
Dirt Can Bring Health Issues
Home and garden waste gets the attention of cockroaches, rats, flies and a number of other pests. Most of these pests are carriers of disease, and if your home is a breeding ground for them you are more than likely to fall sick. You can also fall prone to respiratory diseases like asthma and other allergies if your home has a lot of collected dust and dander.
Regular cleaning of a home, will allow you to spot dampness and other moist conditions that can cause the growth of mold and other fungus, which again can cause serious health issues. Food that is left out can get rotten and cause digestive problems when eaten. It can also cause odors and smells that are difficult to get rid of, and may even result in others avoiding an invitation to your home.
A Clean Home Is a Pleasant Home
Many of us have always been appreciative of well-kept homes where there is no clutter and junk. There is a lot of effort behind all this and the neatness only comes about, because there has been somebody who regularly cleans up the place and arranges for the removal of rubbish. Do this in your own hone and the day will not be far away when the same appreciation comes your way too.
If you cannot take the time out to clean up your home regularly and arrange for rubbish removal, because you are too busy with other things, it is possible nowadays to engage the services of cleaning companies, who will undertake all the cleaning and rubbish removal work to any standard that you are willing to pay for.
When you arrange for systematic removal of rubbish and garbage, you are doing your bit for the environment. Learn to recycle and you will be considered to be part of the green brigade. Track your rubbish and see if there is any way you can reduce it, so that the garbage collector has less to take away.

Say the words "yoga retreat" and most people immediately conjure up images of Costa Rica or Maya Tulum, the latest hotspot among the fashion cognoscenti. Few probably think Atlanta, Georgia.
Fools be them. For just 90 minutes North of the ATL, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, lies the historic gold-rush town of Dahlonega, outside of which you'll find the exceptionally picturesque and extremely laid back Dahlonega Spa Resort, which boasts some of the prettiest scenery—and best yoga classes—around. Part of R&R Pure Vida Resorts, which also has properties in…wait for it…Costa Rica and Maya Tulum, Dahlonega is a whole lot less intimidating for moderate-level yoga lovers such as myself—and it's a whole lot easier to get to from New York City.
A recent five-day trip went something like this: Wake up in one of the resort's upscale-rustic cabins and toddle up to the main house for a delicious breakfast (omelets, French toast, yogurt/granola/fruit parfaits), served on the wraparound porch overlooking the 72-acre property's expansive front lawn. Follow with a meditative stroll in the Walking Labyrinth and a yoga class led by one of several top-notch instructors (with a special shout out to Sandy Osieja and Chris Sartain), some late morning lounging (outdoor Jacuzzi, anyone?), another delicious meal at lunch and an afternoon of hiking or kayaking on the nearby Chestatee River—or just lying around doing nothing at all. Then it was on to the spa for a daily massage (or wrap or scrub or facial), another yoga class if the mood struck, and a yummy dinner (including some of the tastiest free range chicken I've ever eaten) finished off with homemade ice cream for dessert. It was, in other words, healthy and active without beating the deprivation-is-good-for-you drum (and while I was chuffed to see wine on the menu, it all came from local vintners, whose offerings aren't quite in line with the rest of the spa's high-quality fixins).
But that was a minor quibble in an otherwise spectacular getaway—and one look at the rolling meadows and Blue Ridge Mountains rising mistily in the distance, and you'll agree that "spectacular" is not hyperbole but a plain statement of fact. Oh, and the local chocolate was pretty spectacular, too (I'm looking at you, Fudge Factory). Because woman cannot live on asanas alone.
Dahlonega Spa Resort offers a variety of yoga retreats and special packages year-round. Visit their website or call 866-345-4900 for details.

We decided to wake up and hit the road at 4am the morning to miss the desert heat and get some miles done. The problem is that Lindsay and I stayed up a little late, so only got about 4 hours sleep, which meant we were a little tired on the road.
As we left, riding through the little town, there was a very oily patch in the road, very slippery and I didn't have enough time to warn Delilah who was riding behind me … I soon heard a yell and she came off quite badly … or so it seemed, but she was fine ! Thank goodness …
early the morning in the desert
We stopped to have some breakfast next to the road and soon some kids joined us, we gave them sweets and biscuits, but they probably already had a breakfast of their own, so it seemed like they rather wanted some money 🙂
Delilah admiring the sunrise at breakfast
Money please !
After breakfast we hit the road again, but I was so tired, I couldn't keep my eyes open, so it was time for a power nap. We stopped at the first little abandoned building we saw (for some shade) and had a power nap for about an hour or so. In that whole our, we probably only seen one car go by …. really not much going on, on this desert road … except road blocks … loads of them.
Just as we started to get ready again, we saw a very welcoming site …. in the distance was a car, not thinking much, but as it got closer, we recognised it … Pete, Matt and Pete's wife Aisha in the Land Rover … very glad to see them again. Obviously seeing us next to the road, they pulled off and we were re-united again since Alexandria. Pete very generously offered to carry my spare TKC80 rear tyre in the back of his Landy … saving me about 10kg on weight.
We deciced to head to Dakhla to have some lunch and we stopped at Arabi Restaurant. He had Stella beer … and prepared some nice food for us.
Catching up with Pete and the gang at Arabi Restaurant
After lunch we headed to the next town on the desert road, called Kargha, but the police followed us all the way from the checkpoint and made us go to the police station, where they wanted to copies of our passports and we had to report to the station at 10pm that night … the hotel was also very expensive, but at least we could buy some more beer and some water and ice cubes for our camelbaks. We decided to rather leave town and head to a little town called Paris 🙂 What a dump !
No campsites, no hotels .. just what almost seemed like an abondoned building, but the locals insisted it is a "hotel", but we ended up sleeping rough outside in our tents rather … employing one of the local boys to be security guard for the vehicles .. sorry no photos of this, too tired … couldn't be bothered and it's late already …. done loads of kilometeres today, long day !
Tomorrow we head for Luxor … and then the final stretch to Aswan on Saturday.

text: I'm working on two customs right now and both have the same problem of tight joints rubbing the paint off. I'm using a Universe Sunstreaker for Armada Wheeljack (don't ask) and Universe Cyclonus for Shattered-verse Cyclonus. Both have varies joints which just immediately take the paint off. In a somewhat futile attempt, I tried to use sandpaper to wear down the joints but that has only met with miniscule success. Are there any other ways to take care of this? Maybe a specific sandpaper? Or do I need a Dremel or something like that to really grind down some of the plastic to give the joint space?

VRayEnvironmentFog is an atmospheric effect that allows the simulation of participating media like fog, atmospheric dust and so. Volumetric properties can be determined by 3d texture maps. The atmospheric effect can also be confined with atmospheric gizmo helper objects.
General parameters
Fog color - defines the color of the fog when it is illuminate by light sources. You can also use a texture map to drive the fog color.
Fog distance - controls the fog density. Larger values make the fog more transparent, while smaller values make it more dense. You can also control the density with a texture map.
Fog emission - controls the fog emission (self-illumination). You can use this parameter to substitute the ambient illumination inside the fog, instead of using GI.
Scatter GI - when on, the fog will also scatter global illumination. Note that this can be quite slow. In many cases, global illumination within the fog can be substituted with a simple emission term. When this option is on, the currently selected global illumination algorithm in the V-Ray settings will be used to accelerate GI inside the volume (e.g. the irradiance map, light cache, photon map or brute-force).
Scatter bounces - when Scatter GI is enabled, this controls the number of GI bounces that will be calculated inside the fog.
Fog height - if no atmospheric gizmos are specified, the fog is assumed to start from a certain Z-level height and continue downward indefinitely. This parameter determines the starting point along the Z-axis. If there are atmospheric gizmos listed in the Nodes section, this parameter is ignored.
Sampling parameters
VRayEnvironmentFog can use either of two algorithms to calculate volumetric lighting. The first algorithm is a simple exponential sampling scheme, which is used when there are no texture maps specified. In this mode, VRayEnvironmentFog takes a number of random points inside the volume and calculates the volumetric lighting at those points. The second algorithm is a raymarching scheme, which is used when any of the volume properties are mapped with a texture. In that case, VRayEnvironmentFog traverses the fog volume in small steps, calculates the volume properties at each step and computes the volume lighting accordingly.
Exponential sampler
This sampler is used when there are no texture maps specified, in which case the volume properties are the same everywhere.
Subdivs - this parameter determines the number of points inside the fog at which volumetric lighting is evaluated. Smaller values for this parameter render faster, but may produce noise in the image. Higher values render longer, but with less noise.
Raymarching sampler
This sampler is used when any of the fog properties (color, density or emission) is mapped with a 3d texture. The sampler steps through the volume, evaluating volumetric textures and lighting, until it leaves the volume (if there are atmospheric gizmos specified), or until the accumulated volume transparency falls below a certain cut-off threshold, or until a specified number of maximum steps is reached.
Step size - determines the size of one step through the volume. Smaller steps produce more accurate results but are slower to render. In general, dense volumes require smaller step sizes than more transparent volumes. In practice, step sizes that are two to three times smaller than the Fog distance parameter work well.
Texture samples - determines the number of texture samples for each step through the volume. This allows to sample textures more accurately than the volumetric lighting. It is useful in cases where the textures vary much faster than the lighting itself (e.g. for detailed fractal textures).
Simiplify texture for GI - When this option is checked V-Ray will use a simiplified method for calculating the GI when rednerderin parts of the fog that are textred or are being faded out.
Cutoff threshold - this parameter controls when the raymarcher will stop traversing the volume. If the accumulated volume transparency falls below this threshold, the volume will be considered opaque and tracing will be aborted. Higher values make the rendering faster but may introduce artifacts.
Max steps - specifies the maximum number of steps through the volume.
Affect background - when this option is off the background will not be obscured by the fog.
- when the fog effect is contained within a gizmo this option allows you to specify a falloff radius for it. This way the fog effect does not have sharp edges at the edges of the gizmo.
Gizmo falloff mode - this option allows you to chose between two different falloff modes. For further information see the Examples section.
Texture maps
This section allows you to map various properties of the fog - its color, density and emission. Note that whenever a texture is used, VRayEnvironmentFog will use the raymarching sampler to calculate the fog.
You can use any 3ds Max 3d texture map to define the volume properties. Note that you should use World XYZ mapping for the textures.
Color texture - this texture controls the fog color when it is illuminated by light sources.
Density texture - this texture allows you to modify the texture density. Black values in the texture correspond to perfectly transparent fog; white areas correspond to the density specified by the Fog distance parameter.
Emission texture - this texture controls the fog light emission (self-illumination).
VRayEnvironmentFog nodes
This section allows you to specify gizmos that confine the fog atmospheric effect, and also to specify which scene lights contribute to the illumination of the volume.
Gizmos - A list of atmospheric gizmos and arbitrary meshes within which the fog will be calculated. Note that when using a mesh acting as a Gizmo you should either hide it or make it not renderable in order to be able to see the atmospheric effect inside the mesh.
Use all lights - when on, all scene lights contribute to the illumination of the volume, and the Lights list is ignored.
Lights - a list of lights that affect the volume when Use all lights is off.

Located just 15 minutes from Dubai Marina, the award-winning JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort, features two striking beach hotels: the beautiful JA Palm Tree Court and the original JA Jebel Ali Beach Hotel. The resort features an 800-metre palm-lined private beach, lush gardens and swimming pools plus 15 restaurants and bar
David Thomson, Chief Operating Officer, said "At JA Resorts&Hotels, we are committed to environmental protection and we try our best to find environmentally friendly initiatives that can be implemented group wide. Our efforts to save energy, increase recycling, manage resources, reduce our carbon footprint, and enhance marine life are just a few examples of the company's steps towards making a difference and we are proud of how far we have come with each scheme."
The resort remains holistic in its approach to sustainability, balancing the environmental responsibilities of an expansive property with the preservation of the surrounding natural environment.
A comprehensive audit was undertaken by FARNEK, Green Globe's preferred Middle East partner. Total energy consumption for 2015 was reduced by 9% in comparison to the previous year. Water consumption also dropped by 2.11%.
As part of a CSR pilot program organized by TSSC Dubai, a high quality glass-crushing machine was provided to JA Jebel Ali Golf Resort. The company is renowned in the UAE for producing refrigeration units. The PEL Baby and Mega glass bottle crushers transform waste glass bottles into cullets, a valuable raw material commodity. Millions of glass bottles are thereby diverted away from landfill and instead manufactured into new glass bottles. All bottles at the property are crushed twice a week and the cullets collected for recycling. Once 120 tons of glass garbage has been collected, the resort will be paid 40 AED per ton as well as owning the machine itself.
An onsite bio-garden was expanded earlier this year and covers over 1,000 square meters. The aquaponic and hydroponic garden grows 100% organic herbs, vegetables and fruits for the resort's kitchens. Plants include a variety of lettuce, rocket, eggplants, oregano, rosemary, basil, strawberries and wheat grass. Gardening occurs from October to June each year. And the beautiful Bio Garden is at its greenest in January and February when most plants yield their best produce. Over the summer months, the garden is left until the following season. New plants utilize remaining by-products as fertilizer and green waste is reused in compost.
To raise awareness amongst associates and guests, garden tours are offered to highlight the health and culinary benefits of growing and eating fresh food. Earth Hour celebrations are also held annually. This year a tree planting ceremony was held and delicious dishes at the restaurants featured harvested ingredients from the Bio Garden.
In recognition of its support of eco-friendly beaches and marine biodiversity, the property has also received Blue Flag Certification. The Blue Flag Program is owned and run by a non-government, non-profit organization - the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and the eco-label is awarded in 46 countries. The resort has constructed an artificial reef for the conservation of sea life. Furthermore, JA Resorts&Hotels educates guests and staff on fishing quota regulations and children enjoy "Catch and Release" fishing in efforts to preserve the surrounding natural ecosystem.

NILES, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 14, 2017) - Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2017.
CEO David Mansfield commented, "Perma-Pipe's fourth-quarter results continued to be constrained by the adverse conditions prevailing in the energy market and the negative impact on spending on infrastructure development. This is reflected in the reduction in revenues for the quarter, down 9% compared to last year, and for the full year, down 19% compared to the prior year.
"The 2016/17 year has been a challenging one, but also a transformative one as we implemented a series of strategic actions to refocus the business portfolio and cost structure. These steps included fully exiting our Filtration segment. Accordingly, our financial statements show the after-tax effect of the divestiture and related expenses in Discontinued Operations. In addition, during the fourth quarter the Company completed its efforts to reduce costs primarily through staffing reductions, which included a number of retirements and realignments amongst the senior management.
"The refocus of our resources on the Perma-Pipe business was evident in our acquisition of the remaining 51% outstanding equity capital in the pipe coating joint venture now named Perma-Pipe Canada Ltd. (previously Bayou Perma-Pipe Corporation) at the beginning of the fiscal year. The results of this Canadian entity are fully consolidated for the entire fiscal year, while in the prior year, results were shown in Joint Venture income.
"Our Company's recent name change and the restructuring of the group reflect our strategy to focus solely on our piping business. We believe Perma-Pipe's brand recognition will continue to provide value to us in geographies where we have an existing presence and as we seek to expand our presence into new markets, where we are actively identifying and pursuing opportunities."
Mr. Mansfield continued, "In fiscal 2016/17, the prolonged downturn in the energy industry, which had a profound impact on the market drivers, also had a major impact throughout the value chain in the oil and gas segment. All industry participants have been driving prices down in an effort to reduce development costs. Some major oil and gas operators have announced that they have been able to reduce their break-even prices from $70 to well below $30 per barrel. Some of these reductions have come from efficiencies and improvements, but a sizeable proportion of it has come from reduced costs of materials and services. The latter has a direct impact on our business.
"Despite the extremely challenging market conditions, our backlog at January 31, 2017 stood at $44.6 million, which represented 93% of the value at January 2016. We have recently seen some positive, although modest, indications that our market drivers could begin to become more favorable. However, our expectations are that we will not see a significant change to the dynamics in the Middle East until the latter half of 2017. Meanwhile, we believe we have now established our infrastructure at the optimum level where we are able to minimize costs while remaining responsive to an upturn in market demand.
"Recently we announced entering into a consortium with LOGSTOR to pursue jointly the significant East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline project. This pipeline will become the longest insulated and heat traced pipeline in the world, and represents a significant opportunity for the Consortium. While we do not expect a major impact on our financial results in fiscal 2017/18 should we be successful in our pursuit of the project award, we are preparing to positon ourselves as a competitive provider to this project, which will see execution over several coming years."
SALES - Net sales were $98.8 million in 2016, a decrease of 19% from $122.7 million in 2015. Various economic factors substantially reduced demand in the markets the Company serves during this fiscal year. Since the Company serves oil and gas customers, the low price of oil had a significant dampening effect on new exploration projects in the Gulf of Mexico and Canada. Restrained domestic federal and state infrastructure spending, combined with the oil-price induced recession in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, combined to weaken demand for district heating and cooling projects.
GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit decreased 56% to $11.7 million in 2016 from $26.7 million in 2015 due to lower volume. Gross margin decreased to 12% of net sales from 22% of net sales in the prior year. Despite having reduced manufacturing plant expenses in the U.S. and Middle East facilities, the resulting lower production levels led to a reduced absorption of manufacturing plant costs. Underutilization in the industry in the Middle East continued, with resulting pressure on project pricing, all contributing to a reduction in gross margins versus the prior year.
EXPENSES - Operating expenses decreased 6% to $22.5 million from $23.9 million. Operating expenses decreased by $3.1 million partially offset by a one-time legal settlement of $0.8 million and the addition of the Canadian expenses in the period. The decrease was due to staffing reductions in the U.S. and the Middle East as well as lower management incentive compensation expense. Operating expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 22.8% from 19.4%.
TAXES - The Company's worldwide effective income tax rates ("ETR") on continuing operations for 2016 and 2015 were 4.7% and 45.7%, respectively. The 2016 ETR was significantly impacted by the Company reporting a pre-tax loss for the year, a portion of which was generated by the subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates, which receives no tax benefit due to a zero tax rate in that country and due to the impact of the full valuation allowance maintained against domestic deferred tax assets. Other changes in the ETR from the prior year-to-date to the current year are due to the Canadian acquisition and the allocation of tax expense between continuing operations, other comprehensive income and discontinued operations when applying intra-period allocation rules.
NET LOSS - Net loss was $11.7 million in fiscal 2016/17 compared to $4.4 million in fiscal 2016/15.
SALES - For the reasons discussed above, in the quarter net sales decreased 9% in the quarter to $27.6 million from $30.3 million in the prior-year quarter.
GROSS PROFIT - For the reasons discussed above, gross profit decreased 56% to $3.0 million from $6.9 million in the prior-year.
EXPENSES - Operating expenses totaled $6.4 million, or 23% of net sales, compared to $5.5 million, or 18%, in the prior-year quarter. Changes in the senior executive positions of the Company went into effect in the fourth quarter with related hiring and separation costs of $1.1 million.
PRETAX (LOSS) INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS - Pretax loss from continuing operations was $3.5 million versus income of $1.3 million in the prior year.

Cruise Line: Norwegian
Ship: Norwegian Sea
Sailing Date: August 7th, 2004
Itinerary: Western Caribbean
This was my husband and my first cruise. It was wonderful! The Houston port was somewhat difficult to find but once there it was a simple check-in process. I thought they boarded us quickly. We arrived early and were some of the first people on board, we enjoyed finding our room and looking around the ship. I would suggest if you want to "hit the deck" for some sun and swimming when you first board, pack your bathing suit in your carry on as your luggage may not arrive at your room together or may arrive later that evening. The cruise staff is prepared with lots of food for you to enjoy when you come aboard, Bar-B-Q at the pool deck and lunch stuff in the Big Apple. I have heard several reviewers talk about how small the rooms are, we didn't find them terribly small, it was all the room you needed for two people however, with kids along I would imagine the rooms could get crowded. The bathroom in the rooms is small but adequate for the task. The bathroom has a blow-dryer however, I suggest bringing your own if you have the room, as the dryer seemed barely capable to dry even the thinnest hair. The bathroom also has soap and shampoo dispenser, which my husband was happy with but I bought my own.
Since you spend your first day at sea you'll probably spend some time catching some rays, I recommend you bring a beach towel for use on board. The cruise supplies pool towels but they seemed in short supply on at sea days. The ship does supply beach towels for you to check out using your ship ID on the way out when you're at port. A backpack is a must have for port excursions and the like. I suggest bringing your own water bottle and filling it up on board (the ship tap water is excellent) the ship will charge you a premium for Evian while you disembark to shore.
In Cozumel we simply shopped and explored a local beach, which was awesome. Cozumel seems to have the best prices. In Roatan we rented motorcycles from Captain Van's, I would recommend if you want to rent transportation that you arrange it with Captain Van, he's an American transplant to the island and runs his business in a very professional and scrupulous manner which you don't always find. You can find more info on Roatan at www.Roatanonline.com and a link to Captain Van under "rent a motorcycle", he also has scooters. One caution, the roads on Roatan are very curvy and sometimes steep, normal western traffic laws seem not to apply. You'll see incredible views and great local flavor by motorcycle but you must be comfortable with your riding ability. Be sure to get cash while onboard, Roatan is still fairly primitive and finding an ATM is no easy task. See if you can get some small bills from the casino. Also don't miss the iguana farm on Roatan it's amazing! I think there is a excursion to it. The kids will love it especially those who love dinosaurs. The owner is a neat local man who is trying to preserve the native wildlife on the island. His name is Sherman, say "Hi" to him for us! Lots of very friendly people on Roatan. You might also think of bringing some treats for the local kids here, there is a lot of poverty on the island. Some snacks, candy, clothes, ect. will bring you rock star attention from the local kids.
Belize was beautiful, very British with a Hispanic flair. Belize was more expensive but provided lots of good quality shopping opportunities. We took the Catamaran and Snorkel excursion to a small island called Rendezvous Cay, about ten palm trees on an island made of conch shells in the middle of the ocean with a beautiful chain of coral encircling it. The water was so clear you could float on the rafts provided on the island and see the coral beneath the water. The guys on the Catamaran were very friendly and professional. Anyone interested in visiting the island scene desktop on his or her computer should take this excursion. It was a very reasonable price for the amount of enjoyment we experienced. In Cancun we took the cruise's Tulum excursion. If you have an excursion booked, you are the first group to be tendered to shore. Tulum was absolutely amazing! It's on a cliff overlooking beautiful beaches and turquoise waters. Wear your bathing suit under your clothes for this tour because there is a breath taking beach at Tulum that you can enjoy after you tour the ruins to cool off. This tour does take up all your time at Cancun but it's worth it and you do stop at a local market on the way, so there is shopping opportunity there and at the gift shops at Tulum.
There is a lecture the first day at sea about the Gulf of Mexico presented by a geologist if you're interested in stuff like that you'll find it informative, even if you're just curious what's underneath the boat.
The food on board is very good and there's no shortage of things to eat. I highly recommend the omelet bar on the pool deck for breakfast. Bring a sweater or sweatshirt!! The entertainment venues on the ship are freezing!! And it wasn't just me everyone thought so. The comedian and magician were great. All the shows and entertainment were very good. If you want to continue to keep in shape on board Jennet the Sports Afloat instructor is awesome she keeps you in shape with her classes. Between Jennet's Sports Afloat and taking the stairs all week I don't think we gained weight at all. Our kids weren't with us but it looked like they had a very good kid's program to keep the kids busy. The entire staff and crew were wonderful and extremely professional. You felt like your mother was on board picking up after you and making sure you were comfortable. It was quite depressing coming home but I think that's normal. You should have a great time!

5) Gerald Laird: Catchers are always fun to look up, because there are plenty of bad ones. Laird stands out because he is an overrated defensive catcher. Yes, he can throw out base runners (174 out of 458), but he's also committed 42 career errors. But we need to take a closer look at the hitting. Where do we even begin? Should we start with a career .300 OBP? How about the .241 average? Laird is just a mess of a hitter, strike out about once every five at-bats. Laird is still 32, so he's got a few more years of horrendous hitting left in him.
4) Craig Counsell: It's tough to put Counsell on the list because by next year, he'll probably be retired (He's 40). Counsell though deserves not just a spot here, but a lifetime achievement award. In 4588 career ABs, Counsell has just 41 HRs and a .257 batting average. He's never hit over .300 in seasons in which he has amassed over 300 at bats (6 in total), and his best year was in 2005 when he hit 9 HRs and knocked in 52 runs. Counsell's batting stance is one of the most awkward in baseball history, and so are his numbers.
3) Jack Wilson:
2) Ronny Cedeno: Cedeno is such an enigma because he actually has some hitting skills. He had two minor-league season where he batted over .350 while amassing double-digit steals. But for some reason, Cedeno just can't figure out major-league pitching. What separates Cedeno is his strikeouts (369 in 1732 career major-league at bats) along with a .245 career average. The pop is somewhat there (31 HRs), but he's a complete mess at the plate. Cedeno somehow still has a job despite a 2010 season where he hit .256 with just 38 RBIs in over 450 at-bats.
1) Cesar Izturis: His ten-year career has been full of mediocrity. In over 4000 at-bats, Izturis has hit just 15 HRs while having a .256 career average. Izturis has some speed (109 career SBs, but I doubt any of his seven major league teams would want him up in a big spot. Izturis batted over .280 just once (2003), but has always been known more for his glove than his bat.
