Abercrombie & Fitch hires floor models as employees. They're supposed to look good and promote the brand. But should they have to go as far as doing push-ups and squats when they make a mistake?
In April of 2011, the head of Abercrombie & Fitch's Loss Prevention department sent an email that said, "Now every time we make a mistake [...] we will do ten push-ups. Squats for women. This will bring about a great result: we will learn more from our mistakes."
A former employee of an Abercrombie & Fitch store located in Milan said that he did a lot of push-ups while he worked there. According to this anonymous employee, that is just the way Abercrombie & Fitch is. His take on the situation: if you don't like it, then don't work there.
This isn't the first time Abercrombie & Fitch has been called out for controversial issues involving employees. In 2003, the store settled a lawsuit after forcing employees to buy and wear clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch while on the clock. Then another lawsuit popped up in 2004, and Abercrombie & Fitch paid $40 million in this lawsuit over discrimination against Asian, Hispanic and black employees.
The controversy didn't stop there. In 2009, Abercrombie & Fitch was sued for making an employee with a prosthetic arm stay in the stockroom instead of working on the floor. The store has also been sued by three Muslim women. They claim that they were not hired (or fired) because they were wearing headscarves.
What did Abercrombie & Fitch have to say about this?
"We have conducted an internal investigation into this matter, and it appears that the reference to push-ups and squats was a clearly misguided attempt at team-building by an isolated Loss Prevention manager in one of our Flagship stores. Nevertheless, shortly after the Loss Prevention manager's supervisor learned of this incident, it was stopped.Upon investigation, we believe that the claims were greatly exaggerated and manufactured by a disgruntled employee. Needless to say, using push-ups or any physical activity for discipline is not A&F policy. It never has been, and it never will be."
What do you think of this policy? Do you think Abercrombie & Fitch will try harder to stop such controversial things from happening?

The NYPD is looking at a new way to find people packing heat on the street, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday.
The technology, which is similar to infrared imaging, includes a mechanism that can detect the radiation emitting from a person's body, Kelly said during his State of the NYPD address.
Because the energy cannot travel through metal, a concealed gun can be detected from the image captured by the lens of the detector, Kelly said.
But the technology — which is being tested by the NYPD and the Defense Department — can be used only at a distance of 3 to 4 feet.
"This can be done from a short range," Kelly said. "We want a distance of at least 25 meters."
Police hope to install the devices on department vehicles in the near future to identify people carrying guns on the street.
"These are some of the things we're working on," Kelly said.
Kelly addressed the Police Foundation at the Regency Hotel on Park Ave.

GameRager: I meant like with the line tool in paint, you simply click a point then drag to another point and let go, and a line segment appears on the screen of appropraitely selected color/width/etc.
Runehamster: Yep, but you don't drag, you click, then shift-click the second point. Still fairly freeform, but you define the start and endpoints instead of 'drawing' it freehand.

I think with two long lovely names something short is good. I like Ruth the best of the suggestions, Reese and Rae are OK, I might suggest Rue.
Ruby might be good because the red color makes me think of the flag and fireworks, although I guess Felicity Ruby is a little rhyme-y. But I don't think it's bad. Felicity Ruby Elizabeth. Red? Reed? Rufina? Getting bold there, and Rufina is long and clunky, but I think all of those allude to red (you can check though, besides Red : D).

Written by PETA
During sugarcane season, it's common to see bullocks in Maharashtra panting and frothing at the mouth from straining to pull carts piled high with sugarcane. Their knees are swollen, and their necks and shoulders bear wounds that are a silent testimony to their daily toil under the yoke.
The bullocks forced to work on sugarcane farms are commonly denied proper food, fresh drinking water, sufficient rest and relief from the blazing-hot sun. They are yanked roughly by wires threaded through their pierced noses and are often beaten or whipped. Strands of barbed wire are sometimes put under the wooden yoke, and a thin piece of leather is attached to the whip to make it sting even more.
PETA's friends at Animal Rahat, which offers relief for India's working animals, are improving conditions for these bullocks. Animal Rahat's groundbreaking new initiative, The Tractor Project, is a way to eliminate the use of bullocks completely and replace them with small tractors. Keeping in mind the limited financial resources of poor famers to buy a motorized vehicle to haul the cane, Animal Rahat made a donation toward the purchase of five new tractors for workers at the Kranti Sugar Factory. The factory then gave the employees an interest-free loan for the rest of the cost.
Recently, five bullock owners were presented with their new tractors, and their 10 old, worn-out bullocks were released from servitude in a touching ceremony at the factory. When the bullocks arrived at Animal Rahat's Retired Bullock Home later that same day, caretakers removed their nose ropes and offered the relieved animals jaggery, a sweet treat that they love, to welcome them.
Kranti Sugar Factory along with the help of Animal Rahat is planning to distribute more tractors as they find the funds to do so. And Animal Rahat is preparing to expand The Tractor Project to other areas if possible and end the suffering of bullocks completely.
To contribute to Animal Rahat's overall efforts – which fund new initiatives, including The Tractor Project – visit Animal Rahat's fundraising page.

Programme Overview
Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRU) are fragile institutions because of the nature of their size, the often-fluctuating pupil numbers and the vulnerable nature of the children. This support programme offers a bespoke package of support to Special Schools and PRU's that will be tailored to the needs of the institution.
Outstanding leaders from Special Schools and PRU's will be matched to schools to increase capacity and improve achievement.
The support will help schools to:
- Evaluate what's working well and build on existing practice
- Embed and expand a shared and proactive culture and vision
- Create new energy, creativity and sense of purpose
- Raise standards in teaching and learning, improving outcomes for all pupils
- Improve current Ofsted ratings
The support can also focus on
- New headships
- Behaviour and safety
- Target Setting and data tracking
- Monitoring of teaching and learning
- Middle leaders and pupil progress
Case study
A new head teacher who received leadership support to move her PRU from satisfactory to good gained the following Ofsted result;
Another senior leader received leadership coaching to apply for headship following NPQH. A headship application was successful and support will continue into the first term of the new post.

Fishing and hunting options reach their maximum with the turn of October's calendar page.
For the rod and reel set, coho and king salmon are in area rivers and with the summer season winding down trout lake fishing perks up as fall temperatures drop.
On the hunting side, early archery deer and elk opportunities roll directly into opening stanzas for blackpowder enthusiasts, while bird hunting gets into full swing in both upland and wetland venues.
Modern rifleers also are getting ready for the second Saturday start of the main general deer season.
Even before the dust settles on the public comment period, the first round of 2012-13 personal use digging begins Oct. 13 with a six-day set involving four of the five razor clam management sectors on the coast.
Of those four only the Twin Harbors zone will be available all six days. The Long Beach, Copalis and Mocrocks beaches will be open for shorter stints.
Digging each day on designated beaches is allowed between noon and midnight and of course these digs hinge on marine toxin tests done the week prior to the opening.
For a round-up of October hunting and fishing options here and elsewhere, additional details about coming razor clam digs plus more fishing and hunting news, read the Outdoors Column in the Sunday Herald.
Doug Huddle, the Bellingham Herald's outdoors correspondent since 1983, has written a weekly fishing and hunting column that now appears Sundays. Read his blog and contact him at http://pblogs.bellinghamherald.com/outdoors.

Author's infos Gender: Male Age: Secret Location: After nine days I let the horse run free |
The object of my desire. That's how I saw her. As an object, a thing, not human. She was too beautiful to be human. I thought of her more as a science experiement, like we conducted in labs in school. A plaything. My plaything. And this, this is our story. ****************************************** The Object of My Desire - Chapter 2 ****************************************** Having an intimate knowledge of Jessica's apartment made my task much easier. Not just knowing where the bedroom was, or the kitchen, but rather where spare towels would be found, and in which drawer she kept the silverware, and so on. Much easier. After carrying her into our bedroom (I always thought of it as ours), I quickly secured her wrists with rope and tied the ends to the corners of the headboard. The same with her feet to the footboard. Her apartment was warm, so she had changed into her usual, shorts and a t-shirt. I looked at her long, smooth legs for a moment, then moved on to applying a blindfold to her. The blindfold wasn't so much to keep her from identifying me (I had worn the beard and moustache before) as it was to keep her off-guard. The gag I inserted was most definitely to keep her quiet for the time being. I knew she'd be awakening any moment now. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. The slight head movement alerted me to her status. I got up off of the chair and moved close to her. "Jessica," I whispered, my breath warm on her ear, "wake up, Jessica." I saw her move a bit more, then the head snapped around and arms and legs tugged at the restraints. "Jessica, you cannot move, so don't struggle and hurt yourself. You are wearing a blindfold, and the gag in your mouth prevents you from screaming. Now settle down a bit so we can have a conversation." As I expected, she struggled for at least another twenty seconds. I waited. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. When she settled down I again stage whispered to her. "My dear Jessica, we are going to have lots of fun this weekend. But first, I have a few important questions for you, if you don't mind. Do you mind if I call you Jessica?" Her answer was a bit distored by the gag in her mouth, but judging by the vehemance of the response, I gathered she wasn't approving. "Oh, that's okay, my dear, I'll call you Jessica anyway. Now, my next question is, do you wish to live or die?" She froze, no movement, just a little trembling. "Come now, Jessica, it's not advanced calculus, it's a simple question. Do you wish to live or die? Or, shall I choose for you?" This time there was a response. Twice. "I'm sorry, I didn't get that. I'll tell you what. I'll remove the gag from your mouth so that you can...talk...among other things...but if you cry out, yell, scream, anything that might attract unwanted attention, you will be punished, severely. Nod your head if you understand." A quick, vigorous head nod confirmed that as an affirmative. I carefully removed the gag, but remained vigilant for a few seconds in case she went for the obvious. She didn't. "Please answer the question." "I want to live," she said, her voice full of anxiety. "Jessica, you must listen better," I said, reaching down and taking hold of her breasts, squeezing her nipples with my thumbs and fingers, "I didn't ask if you wanted to live," feeling her squirm from the unwanted contact, " I asked if you wished to live. Do you?" "Yes, yes." "Yes, what?" "Yes, I wish to live. I really do, please, don't hurt me, please..." "Well Jessica," I said, releasing her nipples, "I may grant you that wish. I just may." "Please, I'll do anything, I don't want to die, mister." "Good. Now, please be quiet for a bit, dear." I retrieved my scissors and started cutting away her t-shirt. She initially jumped at the contact, but quickly settled down. A few snips here and there, and the t-shirt was history. To my delight, it was a front-clasping bra! I traced my fingers across her soft skin, watching her slightly recoil, and then undid the clasp, pulling it away from her body and revealing her large breasts. Her nipples were just the slightest bit engorged, which was perfect for my next move. Leaning forward, I put my mouth to the nearest one, and sucked it in, my tongue first licking it, and then my teeth closing around it, biting down, not enough to break the skin, but certainly enough to make her jump and whimper. Then I released it, and pulled two objects from my pocket. "You have wonderful breasts, my dear, simply wonderful." I could see the color rise in her face. "Thank you." "Oh, you are welcome, Jessica," and then the two plastic clothes pins closed clamped down around her nipples. "Owwwwwwwww....that hurts, please don't hur" I interrupted her. "Jessica, quiet down now. You don't wish me to become angry with you, do you?" With no reply, I took the scissors and carefully cut away her sweat shorts, and this time I was caught off guard. "No panties, Jessica?" as I stared at her pussy, exposed in all its glory to my eyes. Not that her pussy was all that unfamiliar to me. I had seen it plenty of times, getting into the shower, in the bedroom, but never in person of course, and, never this close. I moved my face close, very close to her small patch of red curls, and inhaled. Oh. My. God. A blood lust set in me, or a pussy lust; call it what you will. I had to possess her. I quickly moved off the bed and stripped my clothes off, then moved to the foot of the bed and climbed up on it. Without further preamble, I began licking her pussy, the object of my desire. I was like a kid in a candy store. I licked her lips, up one, then down the other. I licked her pussy hair. I pushed my tongue between her lips, trying to dive deep inside. She had a rich taste, that of a gal who had showered in the morning, and I loved it. No soapy flavoring, just pure pussy. My hands went under her ass and lifted her crotch up to my face, licking, nipping, tongue-lashing, I simply couldn't get enough of her. I attacked her clit with fervor, suckling it, drawing it into my mouth and whipping my tongue across it. In the back recesses of my mind I heard her make some sounds, a combination of desire and horror that her body was betraying her. But this wasn't for her, this was for me. I needed to get this out of my system. Stopping for just a moment, I undid the slip knot on both of her feet, setting her legs free. Next I pushed them back, back towards her chest, tilting her pussy up at me. It was wet enough. God didn't make me handsome. God didn't make me charming, or classy, nor did he bless me with much of a conscience. In fact, God didn't do much for me. I think the Devil did. In fact, I'm sure the Devil gave me my cock. He must have. It was slightly longer than the average, measuring in at 8 inches. But that wasn't what made me freakish. It was the girth. When fully engorged with blood, it was just shy of 6 inches around. And right now, it was as hard as I'd ever known it to be. 18 months of meticulous note keeping, of following the object of my desire, of watching her, of loving her...was coming to a head. I positioned my freak cock at the opening to her pussy, then rubbed the head around a little bit to get it wet with a combination of my saliva and her juices. "Jessica. You. Are. Mine." And with that last word, I plunged my cock into her, clamping my hand over her mouth for the scream that I knew was coming. Despite my size, and despite her tightness, I had forced half of my cock between her teenaged pussy lips, spreading them like they'd never been spread before. A second thrust and continued pushing forced the rest of my cock inside her, my balls flush up against her little asshole. She again screamed into my hand and tried to fight me off, but it was a futile gesture. I was far bigger, far stronger than her, and I was possessed with the desire to plant my seed deep within her womb. The strokes began, in and out, in and out. Due to my size, her clit was being grazed on each and every stroke, and this was causing her to both lubricate, and become further aroused. I know she was confused, her body accepting this rape and enjoying it, something her mind couldn't fathom. I removed my hand and replaced it with my mouth, sticking my tongue inside to dance with hers, letting her taste her own pussy on it, then breaking the kiss. My cock continued its pummeling of her tender pussy, one that by my account hadn't been fucked in at least several months. "Oh god, it hurts, it's too big, but, it feels weird, oh, uh, deep, you go too deep, ow, oh , god, mister, easy, please, mmmmmm, still hurts, but, uh, that's nice, owww, oh, don't know" she babbled on as I felt my cock squeezed by her tight pussy. From this angle, I was going as deep as I could, and I felt the head of my cock bumping into something on each deep thrust. Must be her womb, I thought. "Come for me, Jessica. Come around my big cock that's fucking your sweet little pussy," I whispered into her ear, knowing my explosion would happen soon. "Oh noooo...don't wanna' cum, you bastard, um, no," she said back to me. "If you don't cum, Jessica, and soon, I'm going to pull out and shove my cock into your ass," I hissed. I knew she needed a push to reach orgasm, so I reached down with both hands and took hold of the clothes pins and pinched them, forcing them to grip her tortured nipples that much harder as I slammed deep into her pussy again and again. It worked. Too much clit stimulation; her orgasm broke and by the sound of her voice, it was a good one. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goddddddddddddddddddddddddd, fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk," her voiced strained just as her body strained, her hips rotating to help my cock make maximum contact with her clit. I felt the cum rise within me and then I was shooting into her, thick jets of hot baby-making sperm racing towards the opening of her womb. I completely emptied my balls in her, resting on top of her, giving my fast-swimmers a fighting chance. It was only then that I realized the sound I had heard as my balls were emptying in Jessica's pussy was the door locks opening, followed by the opening and closing of the door. Quickly moving off of Jessica, I shoved the gag into her mouth, grabbed the scissors, and moved to the side of the door. "Jess, are you in there with someone?" The sound of her roommate's voice both startled me and was arousing, as I looked down briefly and saw that a few drops of cum had dripped off my semi-hard cock, and splattered on the floor. I put my fingers to my lips in the universal gesture of "be quiet" to Jessica, and then waited. Soon, I was rewarded by the sounds of footsteps quietly, slowly coming down the hallway. "Oh my, Jess," said her roommate, bring her hand up to her mouth, "are you having a party?" Simultaneously, she felt the sting of the tip of the scissors at her throat, my hand go over her mouth, and my voice in her ear. "Move, and you both die." |

England will be playing to avoid a whitewash when they face South Africa in the third Test in Port Elizabeth on Saturday after defeats in Durban and Johannesburg.
But Lancaster still believes much will be learnt from the tour, particularly from the two additional matches added to the schedule against the Northern and Southern Barbarians in Potchefstroom and Kimberley respectively.
Lancaster fielded effectively a second-string side in both of those midweek games - which resulted in victories - and feels having an enlarged squad to play them is more beneficial than separate tours for the Saxons team.
In a previous role with the Rugby Football Union, Lancaster coached the second-tier Saxons team at the now defunct Churchill Cup tournament.
Lancaster said: "There are pros and cons to doing this, as I have said before.
"But this time last year I was coaching the Saxons at the Churchill Cup and now the Churchill Cup has finished.
"Now I have got the opportunity to take 40-odd players and work on them together.
"Although it is not without its challenges, from a personal point of view I prefer this.
"You also learn a lot about players - that is a big part of it.
"We want to be in a position, by the time we get round to the autumn internationals, where we have a very clear idea about which players we think can go on and play at the highest level for the next three years."
Lock forward George Robson, who was captain in both of the midweek games, agrees that this year's arrangement is far more beneficial for the national side in a broader sense.
The 26-year-old said: "I think this experience for a lot of players will be invaluable, myself included.
"To get the opportunity to train with the first team, to work with the coaches, soak up information from guys like Stuart and Graham Rowntree - it is a great opportunity for us all.
"You can only really get that chance with a large group."
The counter-argument is that in having a 42-man squad overseen by one group of coaches, resources may have been stretched to the detriment on the Test team.
Lancaster maintains that his top team will continue striving to set the highest standards and not be satisfied with the battling defeats of the first two Tests.
The former Leeds boss has transformed the mood of the England camp since last year's World Cup and he at least wants a consolation win on Saturday to maintain that progression.
He said: "I don't think there will be any hiding this week, we want to set the bar high.
"We won't sit back and say that (last Saturday) was good enough.
"We'll review it in context of a side that wants to win these games, rather than a side that drags itself back into it and almost wins it."
After the altitude of the games in Kimberley, Johannesburg and Potchefstroom, England were due to arrive on the south coast in more familiar cold and drizzly conditions.
They left Potchefstroom after a hard-fought 57-31 win over the Northern Barbarians in which full-back Nick Abendanon and centre Jonny May - not original choices for the tour - scored five tries between them.
Abendanon claimed a first-half hat-trick as England took a firm grip but the Barbarians scored four tries themselves to leave the game delicately poised early in the second half.
With Ben Morgan and Anthony Allen also crossing and the hosts conceding a late penalty try, England ultimately won by a comfortable margin.
The only downside was a nasty-looking injury to winger Ugo Monye, who was taken to hospital after being knocked out in a first-half tackle.
The 29-year-old was making his first appearance of the tour after a hamstring injury and might have had an outside chance of making the Test team.
That has now been ruled out but the Harlequins back was discharged from hospital after scans revealed no head or neck damage.
He will remain with the squad for the remainder of the tour even though he will not be considered for selection.
Monye himself tweeted: "Thanks for all the messages guys, really appreciated. Been to the hosp & neck is all gd, just concussion. Thank God :)"
England must make at least two changes for Saturday with influential captain Chris Robshaw and scrum-half Ben Youngs both out injured. Lancaster is due to name his team on Thursday.

When indicated, the family physician refers the patient to other sources of care while maintaining the role of coordinator of the patients health services. During specialized care or hospitalization, this role prevents fragmented care.
Our staff includes family physicians, family nurse practitioners, physician assistants, behavioral medicine specialists, geriatric specialists and counselors who have access to specialists and other resources as needed.
Patients are seen at the department's two family practice centers, Ghent Family Medicine and Portsmouth Family Medicine.
Ghent Family Medicine Center
Ghent Family Medicine Center is located in Hofheimer Hall on the medical school campus. The clinical area includes two minor surgery/procedure rooms, a laboratory, and a special testing room. The center serves the needs of the individual community and has a residency training program. The staff includes family physicians, family nurse practitioners, behavioral medicine specialists and geriatrics specialists who have access to specialists and other resources as needed.
Portsmouth Family Medicine Center
The Portsmouth Family Medicine Center is located just across the river, approximately 10 minutes from the Medical School Campus. Our comprehensive residency training site offers the full spectrum of medical care through a variety of services, including minor surgery, laboratory, family-centered obstetrics and use of an electronic health records system. Our commitment to health promotion and disease prevention is also reflected in our staff, which includes two family physicians board-certified in geriatrics, several physicians with a specific interest and delivering privileges in obstetrics, and an in-house behaviorist. Our clinic was recently recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home at Level 3 (highest level) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance

Vanilla Farm and Stephane on Lookout pour Requins!

French Polynesia
November 22nd 2011
View from my room
The trip, my time on the Mata Fenua, is past the halfway point and I am already sad thinking about the end. Today the weather was not the greatest. It is hard to say the weather was bad, but it was cloudy, actually a welcome relief for my skin. (Side note: So we have many idioms where the translation does not make sense. The first one that comes to mind is "raining cats and dogs." The French also have these, my new favorite is "Un coup de soleil." Which means sunburn. Literal translation is hit, or punched, by the sun.)
Yesterday evening ended quickly after we had finished dinner, it was a long day and we were all tired from the sun and the many activities. I was able to wake up early for sunrise, but there was not much to see, clouds already blanketed the sky. Hinano had breakfast ready for us inside the cabin this morning due to the weather. Once finished with our meal we dropped off the boat and boarded two vans. One French speaking and one English speaking. My driver was Laurent, he was a very nice Polynesian about 20 years old. A
Madame de la Ferme
vanilla farm was our first stop and we were greeted by the madam of the farm, who walked us down a rocky, and partially muddy, hill to the green house where we were then introduced to the monsieur. The farmer was a large older gentleman I could have seen on our offensive line. He walked us into his greenhouse and started going over the specifics of production. My main takeaway was that these beans here are the only vanilla beans that actually mature on the plant. All others break open, if left until maturity, so they must me cut off and then are cured before full maturity. The ability to mature on the vine makes for a bean that has more oil and is more sweet and fragrant. He then showed us the process of pollinating the vanilla flower, it is a very manual process, every flower has to be touched to produce a bean, by touched I mean he opens the flower and then hand pollinates it. To reach full maturity it takes the bean nine months on the vine, after that it is another five months to cure. Talk about a long buying cycle, he has his time
Class on Vanilla Production
and money wrapped up in product that will not produce a profit for two months into the second year. (I later found out that he supplements this income with cock fighting, he had several pens of roosters., there is a lot of money in the sport.) Of course they want to sell you something when we were done with the tour, I am taking back some extract and some vanilla powder. It all smells wonderful.
The next stop was at the top of the crater that forms the island, there were many clouds to obscure the still magnificent view. Evidently this is very typical weather here, along the interior of Raiatea, always cloudy and always raining. Very fertile land. Laurent told us a story on the way up the mountain about the way the islands were surrendered to France. There were wars for years over resources of the three largest cities on Raiatea. The first king to cave to the French had the fewest resources. The other two kings built walls on their borders and cut trade to "turncoat" king's people. This kings land was not as fertile, his people had to live off of peanuts and
Vanilla Farm
fishing for over ten years until the French were able to take the entire island in the name of France.
The third stop was to a historical archeological sight. Laurent again told us a story, this story was how Raiatae got its name. The island was originally called Havaii which means "bad smell all around." The place we were heading to was used for sacrifice, animal and human. The king used the smell from these rotting corpses to deter anyone who might want to come to the island. Later a king with a share of the island decided to change the name of the entire island to the name of the territory that he owned. Hawaii, which was named after Havaii, kept its name. And now you know what Hawaii really means. The sight was very interesting to see, there was a stone that had circular notches in it representing the kings of all of the islands that make up Polynesia. They call it the triangle. These kings go and visit, every year, the other islands of Polynesia and must bring a stone from their home island. These stones are set into the ground or offered up
Vanilla Beans
as an offering for the spirits. The largest stones are used as the high backs of thrones that the kings can lean against, while seated on the rock. After the tour we had some fresh fruits which were harvested right there in the area.
The final stop of the day was to a pearl boutique, we didn't do the entire tour, just made a quick stop to see if their was anything anyone wanted. This shop had more options as far as settings and I am pretty sure they were selling pearls not approved by OPEC, the government entity that oversees the selling of pearls to make sure that poor quality pearls are destroyed and not sold, as the selling of these pearls hurts the brand that is the Tahitian Black Pearl and drives down the cost on quality pearls… or that may just be my economics classes kicking in. Margarette, worked with the shop owner to have a custom piece produced, a necklace that hangs low enough to act as the clasp to keep a linen shrug closed, that she plans to wear on Friday for the little soiree in the Hawaiki Nui. Laurent shuttled us
The Flower
back to the boat when we were finished. Ralph made some funny comment about how a woman is never content, you take her to the French Polynesians sailing and it is always the next thing. Janet Jackson's "What have you done for me lately" came to mind.
After thanking Laurent for the tour and the seven of us being back on the boat, we pushed out to a small motu, while enjoying another fabulous lunch by Hinano, to do some snorkeling. The weather was cloudy and it was raining on and off, Margarette and Nancy elected to stay behind, Ralph was only coming for the ride in the dingy. The owners of this private little island were away so we used a picnic table of theirs as home base, and dropped some things to stay dry in case the rain picked up. With the snorkel and mask on and my face in the water the weather didn't matter any longer. This section of coral was beautiful. Not so much in color but in fish variety, and it was very close to the surface so it was very well lit and accessible. I looked the entire time for
Hand Pollinating the Flower
Every single one has to be done by hand
a sea horse and never saw one; seeing one is supposed to be good luck. They are very tough to spot, as they don't really move, other than swaying in the ocean, and they are well camouflaged. I was the last out of the water and made my way over to Bernadette and Mirko, who were busy being on their honeymoon, so I quickly made my way towards the center of the island to find a coconut to break open. Wen told me to go in the sea kayak that he was towing back to the catamaran, which was pretty exciting. I tried to stand up and do a little bit of surfing/skiing which lasted all of one second before I had to bale on it and dive into the ocean. Stephane took a turn in the sea kayak and then him and I jumped off the back of the catamaran a few times. I have the one flip stuff down, I am working on completing a back one and a half cleanly now.
Dinner is always a fun time. The couples have their wine, and maybe a beer before, and me with my usual cocktail or
two. Stephane was on the lookout for sharks, and he would yell "Regard le requin!… est deux requin!… La la!" We jumped up on the back of the boat and made a big deal about it, we have a good time. Definitely a guy I would hang out with back at home, he has a great sense of humor, very sarcastic and it took me a while to know if he was serious or joking. The dinner conversations are great. It is funny being the only native English speaker here, but that is typically the shared language. We talk about the power and the manliness of the German language, lifting our glasses or beer and saying "Prute!" sp? Ralph still has not dropped it with the Bong Song, and we all encourage it, letting him know that we will download it the first opportunity that we have; I definitely will. I hope I am ready for the power! Dinner was pasta, fresh shrimp, kale and, as always, served with a baguette. I don't know why I have never adopted this having a baguette with every meal, I really enjoy it. While enjoying our chocolate mousse we listened to Wen describe
Monsieur de la Ferme
our agenda for the next two days. Shortly thereafter he took off for home by way of dingy, his wife is pregnant with twins. Twin girls he found out today, they went to the doctor for an ultrasound while we had gone on our van tour. He was a little disappointed that he is not having a boy. Who can blame him? The rest of the group stayed up for a while sharing photos and the stories that go along with them, listening to the radio, and enjoying being away from it all. It is nice to have no internet and no phone, it took about a day to get used to, but I am dreading the thought of going back to my work life where I have my cell phone, a work phone, and an aircard so I can check email anywhere I travel. Two nights left after tonight to enjoy the people I have met on the boat, I am off to bed to sleep and hopefully tomorrow the sun will be shining in the East.

My name is Brent and I am from Omaha, Nebraska, USA. "Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white." - Mark Jenkins "All you have to do is co...

The City of Philadelphia and Recyclebank Awarded for Building a More Sustainable City
The City of Philadelphia and Recyclebank have earned a prestigious recognition for their combined efforts towards building a more sustainable city. The United States Conference of Mayors has chosen their partnership for its "Outstanding Award in Public/Private Partnerships." The award is an acknowledgement of the partnership's success in its commitment towards greater recycling participation by the local community and diverting more waste from landfills.
Philadelphia's Mayor Michael A. Nutter said: "As Philadelphia strives to be the greenest city in America, we are focused on forging partnerships that help us reach our sustainability goals, increase community engagement and stimulate the local economy. In working with us to create Philadelphia Recycling Rewards, Recyclebank has been a strong partner and has helped Philadelphia to reach new heights of urban sustainability and national environmental leadership."
The U.S. Conference of Mayors instituted these public/private partnership excellence awards to recognize the achievements of the partnerships between the cities and the members of the Mayors Business Council across the country.
Erika Diamond, vice president of community solutions at Recyclebank, said: "Philadelphia's strides in building a more sustainable and smarter city is testament to the impact that partnerships between public entities and private corporations can create. By rewarding residents for taking more everyday green actions like recycling, Philadelphia has increased recycling rates in the face of stagnant national average rates and helped residents realize the financial benefits of making more sustainable choices."
The City of Philadelphia made a renewed commitment to sustainability in the spring of 2007 when it decided to expand its recycling program and switch over to a single-stream system of recycling. In the pursuit of its sustainability goals, the city entered into a partnership with Recyclebank in 2010, and offered more than half a million households the chance to earn rewards for recycling at home with its program Philadelphia Recycling Rewards. The partnership has also raised education and awareness for recycling with an aim to bring about recycling behavior change in the community.

Lots of spacePros: Shipped quickly, works great. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Dead after 13 monthsPros: Looks nice... well, different. It's a USB drive? Cons: Physically bigger than other drives I used (this isn't going to take up 2 ports though) Other Thoughts: I didn't use it much, just left it plugged into my desktop a lot of the time when I got it back in april of 2012. May 2013 and tried copying 27GB of files to it, Windows gives some weird error about files missing, and it goes into a read-only state after a eject and reconnect. None of the possible fixes I looked up/tried fixed anything and it's effectively dead to me. Least it didn't take out any useful files because I can't access half the folders on it either. Did you find this review helpful? |
Exactly what I wantedPros: My use is on USB 2.0 platform. Anything above 30Mb/sec was not needed. These (I bought 2) sticks were tested using a 12 hour read/write pattern test and they rated at 30Mb/sec read and 26Mb/sec write. Perfect for my USB 2.0 application. Cons: None really. My use is USB 2.0 and the USB 2.0 sticks by major manufacturers test at 18Mb/read and <4Mb write. These, by comparison are killer. Other Thoughts: These are what USB 2.0 sticks should be- tests at about max speed in both read and write. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Deal for $20Pros: Benchmarked with CrystalMark (5 reps at 1 gig) at 163 MB/s read and 50 write. Real world transfers had consistent 48-49 MB/s write to the drive. So not top of the line, but not as slow as some reviewers are reporting. Cons: Red activity light make it feel awful Lannister-y with all that gold... Other Thoughts: Not quite sure why some reviewers are getting such low speeds. What I used was FX-8350 on a Sabertooth r2.0 and copied from both SSD and HDD (used the front ports on my case). 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Uh-oh....Pros: Cool design, simple but practical. Cons: Cptr recognizes USB drive, then drive "disappears" and computer finds it again. Rinse and repeat. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Rather Nice speedsPros: Quicker than advertized, also faster than the ADATA S102 32GB USB 3.0 drive I just got. See "Other thoughts" for benchmark data. Also this drive is Cheap and has a lifetime warranty. Cons: Gets a bit warm during heavy use. Other Thoughts: Purchased this to be used as a Recovery USB for a Hackintosh build I am doing. I purchased a ADATA S102 32GB USB 3.0 drive as well which I was going to keep for my self, but after playing around with both of them, I think I am going to keep this F108 for my self. Using CrystalDiskMark: getting 178.1MB/s Read and 49.73MB/s Write speeds. The ADATA stick got 89.13MB/s read and 47.41MB/s Write. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Team F108 32 GB Flash DrivePros: Metal Casing, LED's show activity, Way cheaper than an SSD or hard drive for an emergency hard drive, and file storage purposes. Cons: None yet. Other Thoughts: Currently using this as a hard drive running Ubuntu 12.10, on a back up computer. Speedy enough for internet, file transfers, the usual stuff. Can you run games on it?. No, but it can keep you up and running in an emergency, when your new rig has bad ram, and you have to wait three weeks for a replacement from Newegg. Buy it!. Need more room?. Buy the 64 gig. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DOAPros: None Cons: DOA 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
USB3 flash drivePros: GREAT Cons: cap too loose ,comes off in pocket 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Thin and flat, easy to insert/remove two of these side-by-side on my computers. Fast ehough for me. Cap can be placed on the other end when drive is in use. Cons: none Other Thoughts: I have had good luck with my Team brand USB drives. I like the fact the cap on this model can be placed on the other end to keep it from being misplaced when the drive is in use. I do not concern myself with speed to much as these get used for backing up files but it seems faster than other brands I use. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Carmen Sternwood has got herself mixed up with a blackmailer, while Vivian has managed to mislay her husband, ex-bootlegger Rusty Regan. Old, ailing General Sternwood hires Marlowe to take care of things - but it's not too long before the bodies start piling up, and Marlowe finds himself knee-deep in trouble...Starring Toby Stephens ('Vexed', 'Robin Hood') this landmark dramatisation retains all the suspense and excitement of Chandler's complex and compelling novel.
