A voyage to New Zealand's South Island and the southern Pacific Ocean features seabird spectacles, spectacular Fjordland, remote subantarctic islands, and the comforts of a small adventure cruise ship.
New Zealand is a veritable traveler's paradise. Marvelous natural wonders, unique wildlife, and a rich indigenous cultural heritage are hallmarks of this country that many consider the most beautiful in the world.
For this departure, we're partnering with Zegrahm Expeditions for a special exploration of the spectacular coastal regions of New Zealand's South Island and extraordinary subantarctic islands. From Queenstown in the heart of the South Island to remote island clusters in the lonely Pacific Ocean, this will be a marvelous natural history program with strong emphases on scenic wonders, birding and botanical highlights, and shore activities. Our vessel for this voyage is the lovely Caledonian Sky, a 100-passenger small adventure cruise ship offering spacious accommodations, beautiful furnishings, all outside cabins, and excellent cuisine.
WEBINAR: With Victor Emanuel & Barry Lyon, September 13, 2016
While most land-based tours to New Zealand visit well-known, time-honored locations, only by cruise ship are we exposed to the full scale of New Zealand's breathtaking scenery and wildlife. From the snow-capped Southern Alps, we'll travel through Fjordland National Park in the wake of Captain Cook, exploring the glacially-carved waterways and towering cascades that define the legendary beauty of Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky sounds. Rounding South Island, we'll spend time in the moss-laden rain forest of Stewart Island, home to rare native birds including Kiwi, Kaka, South Island Saddleback, Tui, and New Zealand Bellbird. Along the east coast, we'll visit Taiaroa Head to see the world-famous colony of "Northern" Royal Albatrosses and the beautiful Yellow-eyed Penguin.
The subantarctic Islands of New Zealand are a naturalist's treasure-trove. Rising from the depths of the vast Pacific Ocean, a series of island clusters, hundreds of miles from the nearest land, have existed in isolation for millions of years. Harboring marvelous communities of birds and plants, these islands are proving grounds of evolution where species that colonized these outposts in the distant past have developed into unique varieties found nowhere else. We will visit the Snares—forest-covered citadels home to millions of albatrosses, shearwaters, diving-petrels, and Snares Penguins; Enderby Island—featuring Yellow-eyed Penguins, rata forests, endemic landbirds, and a colony of New Zealand Sea Lions; Campbell Island—renowned for its remarkable introduced predator eradication program, nesting "Southern" Royal Albatrosses, and flightless Campbell Islands Teal; and Australian-held Macquarie Island, most southerly of all, and home to splendid scenery, colonies of King and Royal penguins, and beaches clad with sparring Southern Elephant Seals.
All meals and accommodations aboard ship; activities include lengthy inter-island transits, Zodiac cruises, and shore excursions; mixed weather and sea conditions expected; temperatures mild to cold, but not frigid.


text: EZ Pass 2 Review Introduction I'd like to thank Shop01 for providing the EZ Pass 2 that I reviewed. This review was made using a US MKDS Red DS, EZ Pass 2 (courtesy of Shop01), original MKDS game, and a Supercard SD (courtesy of KickTrading). Configuring the EZ Pass 1. Download the ISPVM software. 2. Go to here and download the JED file that matches the real DS game you will be using. 3. Download the corresponding SAV file only if you are using a flash cart that allows NDS Loader writing. 4. Install the ISPVM software but make sure to not install the USB drivers. 5. Shut down your computer and hook up the EZ Pass linker to your PC. Make sure to attach both the parallel port connector and USB connector. 6. Open up the step by step guide. 7. Plug the EZ Pass connector into the EZ Pass. 8. Start the ISPVM software and follow the step by step guide. Configuring the flash cart This info is subject to the flash cart you will be using. 1. Download and install the Superpass software. 2. Note: Use only roms of games that you own. 3. Plug in your SD card and start "Supercard". 4. Add the .gba file that corresponds to your real DS cart. This file is found in the folder that you installed the Superpass software to. 5. Right click on the .gba file and reference the save file to the .gba file. The save file is also found in the Superpass folder. 6. Add whatever .nds games that you want. If you already have saves for those roms, reference them the same way. 7. After the program outputs the files to your "OUT" folder, copy them over to your FAT (not FAT32) formatted SD card. Also make sure to copy the "rominfo" & "ndsinfo" files from your Super Card folder onto your SD card. 8. Start your DS with only the Supercard in and when the Supercard menu boots, run the .gba file. 9. Press "A" to write the save file to your SRAM. 10. Plug your EZ Pass 2 into your DS and then turn the DS power off and back on quickly and it should boot into the Supercard menu and away you go. Pros: + Simple programming of the EZ Pass when following the guide. + EZ Pass slips into the DS rather easily. + The DS card slips into the EZ Pass rather easily. + DS can sit flat when EZ Pass is in. Cons: - Plastic used for EZ Pass feels kinds cheap. - DS game sticks out of the EZ Pass too far. - Whole unit sticks out quite a bit and makes me nervous that I could snap the EZ Pass if not careful. Overall Score: 8/10 While the unit sticks out a bit, it does allow the DS to sit flat and the setup of the EZ Pass is rather quick and simple. Re-evaluation As of 25th September 2007 With the emergence of slot-1 solutions, it appears that passcards such as this one have become completely obsolete. This device did its job (and did it well) when we needed it, but now for any slot-1 owner it isn't much more useful than a piece of plastic. However if you feel compelled to use a slot-2 flashcart for some reason, you might find this device a good solution. Pictures Affiliated sites Purchase this cart from our affiliated shops: ÂÂÂÂ

Mailbag: 'Dear Comrade... You performed exactly as we instructed'
Let's shake out our mailbag on reader objections to our finding ridiculous and Pants on Fire a reference by U.S. House candidate Roger Williams to Barack Obama as a socialist.
"Williams is right – Obama IS a socialist," one reader wrote. "You and other Libs may not see him as a socialist because of your leftist ideology; but to the hard-working, tax-paying public that make this country work, he's a socialist of the worst kind. And if this reprobate gets re-elected in November, all of us (including you) will be taxed into oblivion by the community organizer-in-chief. What will you do then….write an article on how Obama is a free market zealot?"
Two readers invoked ducks.
"My old Pappy told me that if it walks like a duck and squawks like a duck, it's a duck. Pappy was always right. How come you got it wrong? What is it about him that blinds you? You are not paying attention, son. Listen to old Pappy."
And: "In the very narrow definition of socialism no one could be a president. However, there are many dimensions in the definition, from Marxist-Leninists, Utopian socialists, democratic socialism, etcetera.
"Regardless of the spectrum there are socialist ideals on Obama's policies, or attempts to implement some policies, based on his socialist tendencies. The most important being the redistribution of income masquerade on different tax scales, more hiring at the federal and state levels, a health plan under the 'market demands.' Of course the socialist will deny that Obama is a socialist. He is not an extreme but as the saying goes, if its walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, IT IS A DUCK....I grew up under a socialist/dictatorial government so I know the difference."
We said it's preposterous to deem Obama a socialist.
"Not at all," a reader responded. "You have obviously not read his own books, wherein he tells us that he enjoyed his exposure to Marxist and socialist professors and friends. You ignore his ties to socialist radicals like (Bill) Ayers and (Bernardine) Dorn. What he has shown thus far is only the crumbs to keep his radical admirers panting for more, which he will undoubtedly deliver if he gets another term. A second term could be fatal for our country.
I don't think you are blind, but I do think that you -- like many others in the press -- help cover for him and it will destroy America if it continues."
Finally, we fielded this, uh, communiqué: "Dear Comrade... You performed exactly as we instructed. Word for word you covered (we hope) Barack's" behind "and threw the Amerikanski off track. Keep going and we will fool 'em again." Signed: "The Communist Party."

Ryan: House bill will expand health care
The House bill has a public option that will be run like Medicare.
YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan says an estimated 43,000 uninsured 17th Congressional District residents would receive health-care protection if the House version of health-care reform is adopted.
During a telephone press conference Tuesday, Ryan said an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office confirms that H.R. 3962 will succeed in controlling costs and lowering premiums of health care.
Ryan said the CBO estimated that by 2016, health-care annual premiums would be $5,300 for an individual and $15,000 for a family of four if H.R. 3962 is adopted. This is well below the $24,000 family premium expected if Congress fails to act and premiums grow as projected under current law, he said.
Ryan, of Niles, D-17th, also released figures on the local impact of H.R. 3962 (Affordable Health Care for America Act) prepared by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
It isn't only the uninsured in the 17th District that H.R. 3962 would help, he said.
The house committee's analysis said the bill would improve employer- based coverage, provide tax credits to many households to help pay for coverage, improve Medicare and provide prescription drugs for all seniors.
Also, it would enable small businesses to obtain affordable health-care coverage and provide tax credits to help reduce health- insurance costs, and reduce the cost of uncompensated-care hospitals and health-care providers, the congressman said.
The bill requires people now getting free care at hospitals to make co-pays, thereby bringing down the cost of health care for those who have it and allowing those who don't have it to get preventive care.
"One of the problems with Medicare is that we have people not yet eligible for Medicare, but don't have health care, who wait until they get on Medicare to take care of their health problems," Ryan said.
That is much more expensive than it needs to be. If these people had health-care coverage, their medical problems would be managed earlier before they require critical care, thereby reducing costs overall, Ryan said.
Ryan, who acknowledged the bill will almost certainly get no Republican support, nevertheless said he is confident it will be passed, hopefully by the end of the week. He thinks health-care reform will become a reality sometime in December.
He added that in the eight or nine years he has been representing the area, he has learned that one of its most pressing issues is the anxiety people have about losing health care.
He said the bill will allow parents to continue to cover their children on their insurance until they are 27, and it has a public option that will be run just like Medicare, to go along with private options.
He said it is estimated that by 2019, only about 10 million Americans would be enrolled in the public option.
It is just an opportunity to provide some choice and help keep competition honest, Ryan said.
Also, Ryan said, under the plan, no public money could be would be allowed for abortions.
"I think this is something our community needs. We've been waiting for 30 years. No one needs it more than the Mahoning Valley," he said.
"For us not to say as a nation that everybody should have health care is ridiculous. We want to make health care a right for all, not just for the privileged," he said.
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan lists ways he thinks the House health care reform bill, H.R. 3962, would help 17th District residents:
43,000 uninsured would receive health care protection.
Employer-based coverage for 355,000 of the district's 700,000 citizens would improve.
Up to 1,700 would be saved from bankruptcy caused by unaffordable healt-care costs.
Credits to help pay for coverage for up to 180,000 households would be provided.
Medicare for 109,000 beneficiaries would be improved.
The prescription-drug coverage gap for 9,100 seniors would be closed.
14,000 small businesses would be able to obtain affordable health-care coverage.
Tax credits to help reduce health-|insurance costs for up to 12,300 small businesses would be offered.
The cost of uncompensated care hospitals and health care providers would be reduced by $20 million.
Parents could continue to cover children on their insurance until they are 27.
Denial of coverage for people with pre-existing conditions would be prohibited.

Merck moves respiratory to Area 23
Merck consolidated the advertising and promotion business on its respiratory franchise to Interpublic, with Draftfcb Healthcare's Area 23 serving as lead agency.
The assignment, including such blockbuster brands as Singulair, Nasonex and newly launched Dulera, spans healthcare professional and consumer advertising, medical education and managed care for asthma, allergy and COPD brands. It was previously split between several agencies: Juice handled Singulair, having relieved Draftfcb of the business in 1998; DDB handled Nasonex; and CDM Princeton handled Dulera (Zenhale, ex-US), which launched for asthma last year and is now pursuing a COPD indication. The account also includes Merck's investigational oral allergy immunotherapy tablet, now in phase 3 clinical trials, which was previously handled by LLNS.
Draftfcb handles the advertising business on Merck's cardiovascular and metabolic franchise, including Januvia.
"Merck has been a long-standing client," said Dana Maiman, CEO of Draftfcb Healthcare. "As a matter of fact, it was our first client more than 30 years ago and we are honored to deepen our incredibly successful partnership with them."In fact, both Area 23 co-managing directors—EVP Renee Mellas and creative director Tim Hawkey—are old Draftfcb hands who came up in the business working on Merck brands like Zocor and Fosamax. The full-service spinoff shop launched in 2007.

~ On President Trump's significantly scaled-back executive order ~
RICHMOND (March 6, 2017)-Attorney General Mark R. Herring issued the following statement on President Trump's revocation of his original travel ban and issuance of a significantly scaled-back executive order regarding immigration and travel:
"This pared-down order is an incredible concession from President Trump that all but concedes the significant constitutional and practical flaws that the Courts and I saw in his original ban. Our goal has always been to protect the Commonwealth of Virginia and our residents who were harmed by President Trump's ill-conceived, poorly-implemented, and un-American ban, particularly green card holders and those at our businesses and colleges with valid work and student visas. It is significant that after we won the nation's first preliminary injunction against the ban, President Trump has now revoked his original order and apparently exempted all those persons from his revised order.
"President Trump's ban remains a solution in search of a problem. Although the new order appears to be significantly scaled back, it still sends a horrible message to the world, to Muslim-Americans, and to minority communities across the country, without any demonstrable benefit to national security. We will closely examine this new order to determine its impact, how it may affect our ongoing challenge to the original ban, and whether there are any additional steps we need to take to protect Virginia and our residents."
On January 31, Attorney General Herring filed suit on behalf of the Commonwealth of Virginia to stop enforcement of President Trump's original ban. On February 13, a federal judge in Virginia issued the nation's first preliminary injunction against the ban, preventing enforcement of the ban against Virginia residents after finding that it was likely unconstitutional.

Richland Hills continues to welcome new businesses, the latest being Buyers Barricades. Their large attractive building and landscaped grounds are a great asset to our city. With their use of an exterior of Austin Stone, they are continuing a similar look in newer buildings already established in this way, creating a more unified "town square" effect.
Baker Boulevard (Highway 10) is the city's main street, and the use of a common, but different, look in our businesses makes the city stand out in a positive way. However, the city needs a rule that prohibits a business on Baker Boulevard from painting a building in any garish color.
Ours is a desirable small city in which to raise a family or to retire. It is a safe area for walking and biking; has many large lots, some containing horses. We have our own station for the Trinity Railway Express. People from other cities drive here to commute to their jobs. More businesses are locating on Baker Boulevard, with others on Handley-Ederville Road. In minutes, residents can drive to shopping, recreation, doctors' offices and hospitals and still reside in a rural-like setting.
— Carolyn R. Law, Richland Hills

"Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown have a talent for using philanthropy as a tool to battle inequality," credits the Maryland Historical Society (MdHS), which announced the Browns as the society's "Marylanders of the Year," an award whose recipients have included Ben Bradlee, Tom Clancy and Sargent Shriver.
The Browns and their family have contributed more than $22 million to various charitable causes over the past 15 years, including their largest single gift of $6 million that helped fund construction of MICA's Brown Center. They also have underwritten a number of full scholarships for African-American students to attend MICA.
At the awards luncheon held on March 25, annually known as Maryland Day, the MdHS president said, "Eddie and Sylvia have generated spectacular dividends for impoverished inner-city residents and leveled playing fields across the country in the realms of education, healthcare and art.
At the awards ceremony, Eddie Brown said, "We have tried to create a model of philanthropy that spurs other African Americans of means to become more involved with charitable giving to our community. Both of us have been very pleased with the results achieved."

New (and for some, suggestively shaped) concrete bollards are being installed on Ninth Avenue between Little West 12th and West 13th Street, as part of an ongoing new measure to calm traffic and make the streets of the Meatpacking District friendlier to pedestrians. The intersection has long been a kind of car-and-pedestrian free-for-all.
The new concept cuts a triangular plaza out of an extremely wide cobblestone street. An early rendering, with the plaza and extended sidewalk marked with bollards:
The new plaza is the work of the Greater Gansevoort Urban Improvement Project, with help from the Project for Public Spaces' Open Planning Process. The group conducted a thorough study before suggesting improvements, a good summary of which is available here.

Kanye West Quotes About StyleQuotes about: Style
I go all the way back to the Hot Boys days and being 13, listening to this dude. Just remembering the staple he put on the game back then all the way to now, to have that longevity years beyond it. So for him to actually acknowledge what I'm doing right now and seeing it as a path, the same way the longevity he created, it's a great feeling to actually share that same stage and a moment with him. Wayne ain't no new jack to this game. He influenced a lot of styles and a lot of sounds. I would say I was influenced by a recent sound and flow, and cadence that he brung to the game.
Whether I'm at a dinner with Anna Wintour or a listening party with Pusha T or in Rome with Virgil (Abloh, his style adviser) giving Fendi our designs and getting them knocked down... we brought the leather jogging pants six years ago to Fendi, and they said no. How many m*****f***ers you done seen with a leather jogging pant?

LOOK, we've all been around the block a time or three, all of us, so let's not pretend to be offended by the hand wringing CC Sabathia put everyone through the past few weeks.
MORE: How Cashman Went The Extra Miles, Bucks
MORE: Yanks Press A.J.; Andy A Goner?
MORE: A-Rod Gushes Over Yankees' New 'Monster' Ace
This isn't the first time an A-List pitcher took issue with our fair burgh, after all – see also Maddux, Greg – and it isn't the first time one of those A-List pitchers pointed to family concerns when factoring in New York's livability quotient – see also Hampton, Mike – and it isn't the first time a staggering pile of dough turned someone's mind – see also Rod, A-.
Of course, there is something Sabathia should know about what's in store for him across the next seven years – or, at the least, the next three, before the possibility of an opt-out and a national economic surge can vault him on his merry way west, to the land of sun, low-expectation fans and In & Out Burger joints, where the only back page of note is the Chevy ad on the last page of Variety.
It is a simple bargain, really, and it goes something like this:
It would be wise to start making a habit of seasons such as 2007 – 19 wins, 7 losses, 3.21 ERA, 1.141 WHIP – and to shy away from seasons such as, say, 2004 (11-10, 4.36, 1.319). It would be wise, starting next April, to more closely emulate the version of himself that last season wore a Brewers uniform (11-2. 1.65, 1.003) whose 3-X dimensions made him look merely husky, as opposed to the one who wore an Indians uniform (6-8, 3.83, 1.234) and had people wondering if he was eating all the cheesecake.
It's ridiculous to pretend anybody's feelings are hurt here, beginning with the Yankees, who have thrown too much money around over the years to ever act like any kind of conscientious objector, and Yankees fans, who yesterday didn't seem nearly as bothered by Sabathia's deliberations as they did the day before.
And that certainly includes Sabathia, too. We questioned Maddux back in 1992 when he took a lower offer from Atlanta, and we lampooned Hampton in 2000 when he made those absurd comments about school systems on his way toward Colorado oblivion, but it is worth pointing out: Neither ultimately was swayed by New York money. They walked away.
Sabathia had little choice. Unless he wanted Don Fehr to send Luca Brasi after him, he wasn't about to leave $60 million on the table. Give him this: He never made any pretense about his New York ambivalence, never talked about his options or his intentions with anything but absolute candor.
"I like it there," Sabathia told The Post's Brian Costello in October, speaking of New York, "but we'll have to see what direction the teams are going and would my family be uncomfortable being on a whole other coast? We'll have to see."
We can act with silly sanctimony at Sabathia grabbing the easy tourist view of New York, especially because it's probable the Sabathia family will find life in Greenwich, Saddle River, Manhasset or Chappaqua just as agreeable as Santa Monica or Sausalito. But what's the point of that? He is a great pitcher who immediately brings the Yankees a lot closer to the Red Sox and Rays than they were yesterday. His happiness, and his family's comfort, is really beside the point.
He is here now. He is in New York. If it is fair to wonder about how someone can expect to succeed in New York when he puts in an opt-out because of his own clear reservations about playing in New York . . . well, that's beside the point, too. If he is a bust after three years, he is protected. If he is a star, then there's one team certain to throw a heavy set of golden handcuffs on him.
He is here. The reasons don't matter. The reservations don't matter. Were the Yankees desperate? Did they grovel? Doesn't matter. They are in this together, starting now, where just one thing matters. Check back in October to see just how much.

An absolute must-read from The Sunday Telegraph - that's right, Murdoch's Sunday paper - of August 17:
Why I fear the severed heads are fakes by Duncan Lay
"The carefully pixelated pictures of a young Australian boy holding up a severed head have rightly enraged people this past week. Politicians have been lining up to condemn the boy's father, Aussie-born Khaled Sharrouf, and to promise 'action' - tough penalties, new laws, and anything they can think of to appease the justified community outrage. But here's the thing. I have the horrible feeling the heads in the Sharrouf pictures, including the one with his son, are fake. I think Sharrouf is an evil fantasist, rather than evil in reality, similar to that fantasist jihadist who was caught in The Philippines while claiming to be on the front line of the war.
"Why, you may well ask? I confess I don't have a series of freshly-cut heads in my cellar to compare them against. But I have been able to see the unpixelated images and they just don't look right. Take away the black boxes the papers have been adding and you'll see that:
1) There are no necks on them. They're just heads. So what, you may ask? But it is impossible to cut off heads that close to the skull without damaging the chin. Those heads are pristine, which is also highly unlikely. Not a trace of a wound anywhere, just a disembodied head.
2) If they had been cut off while alive, there would be variety of agonised expressions, probably cries of fear and pain. The faces of these 'heads' all look asleep. They are also plump and filled out and the mouth is closed and the chin firm. Gravity alone suggests the jaw would drop down and the mouth gape open, while the loss of blood and fluid would make the cheeks look hollow. The hair would also be in disarray. None of this is happening. It's all perfect.
3) The skin colour. Dead bodies are pale, due to blood draining down to whatever side it is lying on. Obviously it's far worse in something that has been cut off. Those heads are far too ruddy.
4) No oozing. Heads are full of liquid. Even hours later, holding one up like that would cause drippage - and yet there is nothing.
5) They're too light. The boy's forearms are showing little strain. Turn to our fishing page and you'll see kids having more difficulty holding up a 2kg fish than he's showing holding an adult head. And he's holding it by the hair. Unless he's the world's strongest kid, it seems unlikely.
6) Too much fun. Kids can't fake facial expressions and he thinks what he's doing is hilarious. But if it was a real head, dripping, stinking and bloody, I can't see him cuddling it.
7) All the Sharrouf 'head' pics are like this one. All of the ones showing him and 'heads' feature these perfect, disembodied heads with no necks and no bloody mess. There's even one of him holding a 'head' by the ear showing the neck 'wound'. It's still red. Dried blood would have been brown-black by then.
"Look, they could be real. I have never seen a genuine severed head. But it feels wrong. My guess is he's using a store dummy head and photoshopping. He's trying to appeal to all the wannabes and disaffected youths out in the suburbs who think it's somehow cool and edgy, all those teenage boys filled with a mixture of rebellion and bravado.
"Now that doesn't take away the fact he's a twisted little scumbag who doesn't deserve to have kids and, if he ever lobs back in Australia, needs to be locked up and have the key thrown away. It doesn't change the fact he's seriously messed up his children. But my fear is, he now has everyone so whipped up into a frenzy that we'll rubber stamp whatever ASIO puts up. It's like a spy agency's dream. And while we must throw the book at the deluded freaks who think that killing people to create an Islamic state is great, we know that spy agencies never give up power once they have it. If we give them carte blanche now, based on a spoof, we could live to regret it. Let them explain how keeping metadata is going to stop the next generation of Sharroufs. Because if they can't keep track of these publicity-hungry nutjobs without it, we have a great deal to fear. Let's use our heads, not be used by a fake head."

Like Duncan Lay, you seem to think the beheading of Foley might be fake.
Okay, heres one (of many) that isn't.
You can watch this poor soul screaming in agony as his head is severed.
Someday, journalists are going to wake up to Islamic State, and realise what absolute evil butchers of humanity they are.
Someday, left wing progressives may even admit to reality?
Not holding my breath, but we all live in hope.

Where do I or Lay say anything about Foley? Can't you read?

Things about Casinos Nobody Will Tell You
July 5th, 2017 by admin Posted in Casino
If you are playing for the judi bola then whether you are going to be a winning player or you will stop playing it because you won't be able to win the single game. This is the rule of the casino that you have to invest in order to get the great outcome but there are certain things casino won't tell you about because that's how they earn from you. Have a look at the most precious tip they won't tell you about.
- To set your limit is the biggest point. If you won't then you will lose all. Set your limit how much you can play for the day so you don't have to lose all your money. If you are not going to set your limits then you will be in a big trap and you will end emptying your pockets. Casinos don't tell this rule because in this way their earnings will get affected of course they want you to play with all the money.
- Playing different games will help you in raising money as compared to the single game. If you are about to play the single game then you will get bored mentally and will start losing it gradually. If you are in the online casino or in the home casino then you should try different games so you can earn more and lose less.
- judi bola won't tell you about that you should start with the lower bet and you should always get stuck with the lower bet. They don't want you to play lower bet because in this case, they are going to have a small amount of money from the player if the player is about to lose but in a big game, they can have huge amount from the player as a result of losing. In order to earn more in less time, you should go for the small amount and win more.
- Stop playing once you start losing. This is the sign that your time is up and you are exhausted now. Try your luck some other time but by playing in this way will keep you in a loss and you will lose all your money. You should know when to stop playing no matter how badly you want to win because, in the end, you will be glad that you stopped playing at the right time than losing.

CSKA Moscow head coach Leonid Slutski admits his side will have their work cut out as they try to rein in Tottenham's star-studded attack.
CSKA Moscow head coach Leonid Slutski admits his side will have their work cut out as they try to rein in Tottenham's star-studded attack in the Champions League.
While Spurs lost their European opener at home to Monaco, they have hit form in the Premier League, climbing to second with three straight wins.
Last season's top-scorer Harry Kane remains out with an ankle injury, but Son Heung-min, among others, has stepped up in his absence to keep Tottenham firing.
However, rather than discussing the merits of any one individual, Slutski is focused on dealing with the English side as a unit in Moscow on Tuesday.
"We can talk about Son, [Vincent] Janssen, [Christian] Eriksen, [Erik] Lamela - all these players are pretty dangerous," he told a news conference.
"The question is not how are we going to defend against them at set-pieces, but how we are going defend against their attacking potential overall.
"Last year, Spurs had an amazing team and tried to win the [Premier League] title. This season, they play a little different because many teams sit back against them."
CSKA defender Vasili Berezutski is similarly expecting a tough encounter, despite the blow Spurs have been dealt by Kane's injury.
"It does not make any difference because Tottenham have a lot of great players," he added. "It will be hard to play them, with or without Kane."

FOREST HILLS — The Olympics won't be the only reason for children in Forest Hills to get excited about soccer this summer — Super Soccer Stars, a Manhattan-based program, is expanding to the neighborhood.
The classes for children age 2 through fourth grade, beginning July 7, will be held Saturdays at Forest Hills High School at 67-01 110th St., organizers said.
Classes for younger children will last around 40 minutes and will focus on simple activities like running, whereas those for older children will likely stretch to an hour, teaching kids about ball rolling, according to spokesperson Jenna Weinerman.
"We know that there's a huge difference between a child that's 2 and one that's 3," Weinerman said
There are also classes for special needs children, which feature a 2 to 1 child-instructor ratio.
Super Soccer Stars, which operates camps in 250 locations in the Tri-State area , is making its second push into Queens: last year the program expanded to Astoria and Jackson Heights. Classes will also be held in Flushing this year.
The classes, which cost $100 per session, will be broken down into two four-week sessions: one from July 7–28 and another from August 4–25. Parents interested in registering should visit http://www.supersoccerstars.com/enroll/sm_queens2012.asp.

Home > ASP.NET Training Courses
ASP.NET is Microsoft's main development environment for creating interactive website applications. ASP.NET is just the framework for the web development. ASP.NET applications themselves can be written in a number of different programming languages within the .NET Framework. ASP.NET replaces classic ASP - it's also possible to book ASP training courses online.
The two main programming languages used for writing ASP.NET web pages are Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) and C# (C Sharp). When booking an ASP.NET training course it's often a good idea to make sure if the course will be taught using either VB.NET or C#, or a mixture of the two.
Most organisations will use either VB.NET or C# - not many organisations use both programming languages.
VB.NET is based on the popular Visual Basic 6.0 programming language. Consequently many ASP.NET programming courses are designed to allow former Visual Basic 6.0 programmers to learn how to develop ASP.NET web applications. Although VB.NET is based on Visual Basic 6.0, the language has been extensively updated and Visual Basic programmers have a fairly steep learning curve due to the fact that VB.NET is much more like Java in its use of Class libraries to perform certain tasks.
By constrast, C# is a new programming language designed specifically for the .NET Framework. Many programmers tend to prefer C# for developing .NET applications. The syntax of C# resembles Java, so it's possible to book courses that show Java programmers how to develop in C#.
ASP.NET is a huge topic and one training course will not be able to cover all the possible areas. Popular training courses related to ASP.NET development typically teach subjects such as:

When it comes to marketing, 'location, location, location' has always been important. But thanks to the rapid growth and maturity of mobile technologies, 'location, location, location' is taking on new meaning.
Location-based advertising is potentially the holy grail of mobile marketing. And it appears that Apple, which occupies an important position in the mobile market with the iPhone, apparently wants to keep location-based advertising opportunities to itself.
Developers interested in developing iPhone apps that use GPS data to serve up location-based ads got a piece of bad news from Apple: GPS is only to be used for delivering "beneficial information". That excludes ads, so any app that "uses location-based information primarily to enable mobile advertisers to deliver targeted ads based on a user's location" will be rejected.
Obviously, a lot hinges on the word "primarily". But one thing is certain: Apple is sending a clear message that it's keeping a close eye on how developers try to target ads to iPhone users. Especially when many use Admob to do. Admob just happens to be owned by Google.
The reason is obvious. Apple isn't simply the manufacturer of the iPhone. It has built a lucrative business through the App Store, and through the App Store it controls much of the iPhone experience. The ability to control how advertising fits into that experience is very valuable to Apple. And it clearly doesn't want to give up that control.
I respect the company's right to do what it thinks is best. It's hard to argue with the company's success. While one could debate whether or not Apple should keep developers from using GPS data to serve up ads, the problem, in my opinion, isn't the decision. Rather, it's how frequently Apple is getting tripped up trying to present believable justifications for its decisions.
Banning the use of GPS to serve ads (under a subjective test no less) while stating that iPhone GPS data can only be used for "beneficial information" implies that ads aren't "beneficial". Given that Apple recently paid $275m for a mobile advertising company, that seems a bit disingenous. And it was somewhat amusing to learn that "Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy" when a photo of Apple's new iPad distributed by the company displayed Flash content. Flash content that real iPad customers won't be able to view because like the iPhone, the iPad isn't going to support Flash.
Obviously, it doesn't take much to see that Apple's positions are usually based on a desire to protect its business interests. And it will go to great lengths in this regard. Yet instead of leaving that obvious fact unstated, Apple has come up with all sorts of alternative explanations that are just downright silly.
The truth is that Apple could probably come out and say "We're going to control location-based advertising on the iPhone" or "Flash would threaten the App Store economy" and people would still buy its products. So it would make sense for Apple to do just that. After all, Steve Jobs recently said that Google's 'do no evil' mantra was "bullsh*t". Perhaps it's time he looked at some of the explanations his company gives because they smell funny too.
Comments (6)
Ha, ha, that's some classic writing. How true! I agree a bit of honesty would go a long way.
I'm interested to see how this thing will pan out and what Apple plans to do.
A company telling people how they must use the technology and how they must not use it - is dangerous. The GPS technology in the phone is not medicine.
Examples of the obsurd would be if the creator of human beings told people how they must use the bodies and must not... opps, God did that with the Ten Commandments - so does Apple have a God complex?
Apple have created a very successful model that delivers a controlled and managed experience that real users love. How do I know this? Because they keep buying Apple products in their droves. Therefore, to my mind, it is perfectly sensible and reasonable (even desirable) for Apple to maintain this degree of control in order to protect its business interests and continue to deliver an experience that real users love.
That being the case though, I too would agree with Patricio and Greg that they could afford to be more honest in their explanations. Users would still buy the products in droves!
While it would be nice if Apple could just come out and be 'honest' for the reasons behind some of their policies, I suspect that isn't possible.
As their market share grows they will almost certainly find themselves under increasing scrutiny by various competition authorities. In such a situation, a policy of:
"We don't let people do that because it's bad for our business."
Simple isn't going to wash.
The best way for them to protect their revenue streams is probably the approach that they're taking. That of using pseudo technical, legal or privacy issues to give justification to their policies.
It's an approach that's annoying for developers and the like, but few users will care or change their purchasing decisions because of it.
..,this is really helpful in locating specific place... i am really wondering how this device is working... i have seen this in my friends...

April 22, 2010
It was a great year for sophomore captain Kacie Wagner and the women's tennis team, who just finished their regular season with a 14-7 record on the season and a 4-2 record in the WCC. After such an impressive season, the Broncos will compete in the WCC tournament as the No. 4 seed in San Diego, Calif. from Apr. 23-25. Good luck Broncos!
SantaClaraBroncos.com: After compiling such a great regular season record, how are you and the rest of the team feeling about being the upcoming WCC tournament?
Kacie Wagner: We're all really excited for the WCC tournament. We want to keep playing our level, and we're confident that we'll be able to compete with the level of confidence that we've built up during the season.
SCB.com: As the No. 4 seed in the tournament, you will play the No. 5 seed, San Francisco who you recently defeated on Apr. 18. How do you feel about meeting your rival so soon in the WCC tournament?
KW: Beating USF at the end of the regular season was a perfect way to end it because they have always been our rival. That win was a great example of what our season has been all about; we've gained a lot of perspective and experience from both winning and losing matches this year and it was great to get one last win against our rivals. USF was a really close match last week, but with the amount of confidence that we have it should give us the necessary momentum to prevail over them.
SCB.com: Your team also had the experience to play the No. 12 team in the nation, Stanford, on Apr.15 in Palo Alto. How was that experience for you and the rest of the team?
KW: That was an amazing experience, and I thought we all played pretty well for playing against one of the top teams in the nation. They have such a rich legacy, but it was great to go out there and show them that we could compete against them. After all of our hard work this year, it was great to be on those courts and feel like we deserved to be there.
SCB.com: Are there any there any other tennis programs that you look up to?
KW: Even though they're in our same conference and we play against them, Saint Mary's is definitely a program that we would like to aspire to be. They've shown how much the WCC can do; that even though we are all small schools, our conference can still be very successful on the collegiate tennis scene.
SCB.com: In addition to your duties as team captain, you've also earned an impressive GPA as a Political Science major. How have you been able to balance your studies and tennis at the same time?
KW: I've grown up learning how to manage everything since I've always been traveling around to tennis tournaments while being in school so it wasn't a big adjustment when I came to Santa Clara. I also really enjoy my classes, my favorite class this quarter is The Constitution and Liberty that is taught by Richard Izquierdo.
SCB.com: What's your favorite part about being a member of the Santa Clara community, specifically as a student-athlete?
KW: The biggest thing is how supportive everyone is here. It's a very close-knit and tight community and you know that people care about you and want you to do well. One story I tell all the time is when I was here on my recruiting trip when I was in high school. I had met the athletic director, Dan Coonan, earlier that day for a little bit, and then later in the day I ended up getting lost on campus. And then all of a sudden, there's Dan coming up to me and asking me, "Hi Kacie, do you need help?" I remember thinking, `Wow, I can't believe that the head of the athletic department remembered who I was and I'm only a recruit.' That's when I realized how close the community is and it made me want to be a part of that community. I'm so happy to be here at Santa Clara.

KeywordHigh-resolution seafloor mapping; Hummocky bedforms; Mine burial and detection; Multibeam sonar; Rippled scour depressions; Sorted bedforms
High-resolution multibeam sonar and state-of-the- art data processing and visualization techniques have been used to quantify the evolution of seafloor morphology and the degree of burial of instrumented mines and mine-shapes as part of the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR, Arlington, VA) mine burial experiment at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO, Edgartown, MA). Four surveys were conducted over two years at the experiment site with a 455-kHz, Reson 8125 dynamically focused multibeam sonar. The region is characterized by shore-perpendicular alternating zones of coarse-grained sand with 5?25-cm-high, wave orbital-scale ripples, and zones of finer grained sands with smaller (2?5-cm-high) anorbital ripples and, on occasion, medium scale 10?20-cm-high, chaotic or hummocky bedforms. The boundaries between the zones appear to respond over periods of days to months to the predominant wave direction and energy. Smoothing and small shifts of the boundaries to the northeast take place during fair-weather wave conditions while erosion (scalloping of the boundary) and shifts to the north-northwest occur during storm conditions. The multibeam sonar was also able to resolve changes in the orientation and height of fields of ripples that were directly related to the differences in the prevailing wave direction and energy. The alignment of the small scale bedforms with the prevailing wave conditions appears to occur rapidly (on the order of hours or days) when the wave conditions exceed the threshold of sediment motion (most of the time for the fine sands) and particularly during moderate storm conditions. During storm events, erosional ?windows? to the coarse layer below appear in the fine-grained sands. These ?window? features are oriented parallel to the prevailing wave direction and reveal orbital-scale ripples that are oriented perpendicular to the prevailing wave direction. The resolution of the multibeam sonar combined with 3-D visualization techniques provided realistic looking images of both both instrumented and noninstrumented mines and mine-like objects (including bomb, Manta, and Rockan shapes) that were dimensionally correct and enabled unambiguous identification of the mine type. In two of the surveys (October and December 2004), the mines in the fine-grained sands scoured into local pits but were still perfectly visible and identifiable with the multibeam sonar. In the April 2004 survey, the mines were not visible and apparently were completely buried. In the coarse-grained sand zone, the mines were extremely difficult to detect after initial scour burial as the mines bury until they present the same hydrodynamic roughness as the orbital-scale bedforms and thus blend into the ambient ripple field. Given the relatively large, 3-D, spatial coverage of the multibeam sonar along with its ability to measure the depth of the seafloor and the depth and dimensions of the mine, it is possible to measure directly, the burial by depth and burial by surface area of the mines. The 3-D nature of the multibeam sonar data also allows the direct determination of the volume of material removed from a scour pit.

Section 75: Protect Your Credit Card Purchases In The Economic Recession
In recent months, we've watched airlines, banks, and big chains go bust, with plenty more are projected to follow in the near future.
The economic recession has led to plenty of businesses going under, and consumers are often left dealing with the mess and financial loss that's left behind.
If you've recently purchased airline tickets with your debit card or cash to escape these dark winter nights, beware. Should your airlines follow in the footsteps of Zoom, Silverjet or XL, you're unlikely to be getting your cash back without a long, arduous good fight to the death.
The Credit Card To Your Rescue
We all been warned of the dangers of going overboard with credit, ending up in debt, etc. But what you may not know, is that buying with credit cards vs debit cards give you a huge advantage with consumer security, thanks to Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act of 1974. This small-print less known secret method is the superhero to your rescue.
Section 75
It sounds almost like Area 51, and it stems from Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act of 1974. In a nutshell, the section essentially states that all purchases valuing between £100 and £30,000 have automatic liability protection jointly responsible by the retailer/supplier and your credit card company:
(1) If the debtor under a debtor-creditor-supplier agreement falling within section 12(b) or (c) has, in relation to a transaction financed by the agreement, any claim against the supplier in respect of a misrepresentation or breach of contract, he shall have a like claim against the creditor who with the supplier, shall accordingly be jointly and severally liable to the debtor.
(You legal types can read the rest of Section 75 here [Swarb])
Essentially, if you make a purchase on a credit card and do not receive proper goods or services, Section 75 says that both the provider and your credit card company are jointly and severally liable to you, the debtor. In other words, if you don't get what you paid for, it is a legal obligation for your credit card company or supplier to give you your money back.
What does that mean for you as a consumer?
Next time you book a nice holiday away or make a major purchase, do so with a credit card. If you buy a flight with cash, for example, and the airlines collapses, you will be stuck chasing your own tail, as it's been the case with Zoom or XL.
If you purchased with credit, you could avoid this headache. All you have to do is file a claim with your credit card issuer and simply get your money back. If you're not sure how to proceed, try, 'Sir/madam, you are violating Section 75 of The Consumer Protection Act of 1974'. Talk about putting power in the hands of the consumer!
There are Exceptions
1. This generally only works with credit cards, not cheques or cash withdrawn or debit cards (*Please see comments below for exceptions with Debit Cards. Thanks, R!) The Financial Obudsman states that section 75 will only apply given that there is a 'pre-existing arrangement' involving both the credit provider, and the supplier. This means if you withdraw cash to pay for a purchase, or use credit card cheques, you will not be covered. The credit card company holds no liability.
2. The item must be of a minimal transaction of £100. This must be the cash value of a single item, excluding fees, charges, etc. This means if you bought 2 airplane tickets for £198 in total (£99 each), you won't be protected.
2. Watch for Business 'Loopholes'. Businesses may exploit the Consumer Credit Act by utilizing a separate business from one that provides the good and services to take the money. Holiday club memberships and timeshare companies often use credit card facilities of another business. A business accepting payment simply acts as an agent for a supplier, and are not considered 'associates' of the network, therefore section 75 will not apply.
3. Beware of Agencies. Buying airline tickets through a travel agent creates the same problem; travel agencies supply the ticket and not the flight. So if the flight itself gets delayed or cancelled, you won't be able to claim under section 75 either. There are exceptions to this, such as holiday packages: if this applies to you, take a look at case study 31/6 from the Financial Obudsman.
You also can't claim the same money twice, you greedy bum.
How to Claim
Now that you know about Section 75, there are plenty more resources to learn about your Section 75 rights and how to exercise them. For starters, the BBC gives some Practical Advice on this topic. Moneysavingexpert also has a pretty easy to understand guide and some further examples.
Got a claim? Try Consumer Direct: they have a Section 75 template letter, which you just have to download and fill it and send off. Job done.
How to proceed? First point of call is your bank, if it's a bank issued card. Otherwise, call the relevant credit card company. Tell them you want to "make a claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act", and a form should be posted to you. Do be polite, as the Indian call centre staff may remain astounded by the mysteries of section 75, especially if they don't have a template default answer; explain that you're now in a secret sect of the Bitterwallet's inner circle, and they should call their supervisor, or get you to a UK based rep.
Final Thoughts
Remember that credit cards have alot of downsides. Throwing people into debt and dealing with high interest rates are not very nice things.
So by all means, protect yourself in every way possible, but do make sure that you do pay your credit card off in full if possible to avoid interest.

- R H.I thought Section 75 would apply to aDebit Card transaction if the purchase took took the Debit Card account into an overdraft?
- Vince W.Hey R, thanks for your comments. You're absolutely correct. Technically, if you used the debit card to borrow, then you get the same protection as a credit card from the CCA (Consumer Credit Act). The FOS (Financial Ombudsman Service) states that if you have an overdraft facility, and the card CREATES the overdraft (so if you go from £10 to -£100), the card becomes a 'credit token' under the term of the CCA. So if you have an overdraft, it is certainly possible to utilize this, but it would be a bit more inconvenient than just using a CC and more complicated which is why it was generally omitted in the basic guide above; for every purchase, you will likely have to first get close to emptying your bank account, and use the card and create the token by going from + to -, and refill to make sure you don't end up getting (illegal) bank charges, especially due to the size of transactions (as most overdrafts go up to maybe £500 or £1000). This makes it impractical unless with foresight you think that particular transaction is worth the hassle. As a side note: a VISA debit card provides further protection compared to other forms of Debit cards, through the chargeback protection.

Excuse the quirky post, it's one of those days. So… if you're business owners, then you've probably had tons of emails from SEO companies who are trying to sell you… well… SEO. This is all well and good… but what's the value.
Paid advertisements: You know when you're surfing on Google and you see websites with the funny little green tag underneath that says 'Ad'… well, they're paid advertisements (the clue is in the title — right?) There's a premium for being front and center on Google… therefore it makes sense to pay for advertisements.
Social media: I'm not sure how this fits in… but some people refer to this as SEO — go figure. This is all about using sites like Facebook to raise the profile of a business and/or brand.
Organic search: The Holy Grail of digital marketing. If you can find anyone that can put your business' website on the first page of Google… then you stand to make a lot of money… the investment will be well worth it.
Well you're in luck! Because one of our associates EJA Solutions — SEO Swindon is one such company. These guys literally transform websites into money making machines. If you're thinking about growing your business… why not give them a call?

Man Threw Hot Dog at Tiger Woods Because of Drive, Obviously
"As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, 'I have to do something courageous and epic.'"
After watching the existential Ryan Gosling car drama Drive, you might be tempted to hit up iTunes for the soundtrack or inspired to mutter, "Why wasn't Vin Diesel in that mean Jew-hating movie?" Or — or! — you could react like 31-year-old Petaluma native Brandon Kelly, whom you may know because he tossed a hot dog at Tiger Woods during a golf game last weekend. Why did he do that? "I threw the hot dog toward Tiger Woods because I was inspired by the movie Drive,'" Kelly explained to the Santa Rose Press Democrat. "As soon as the movie ended, I thought to myself, 'I have to do something courageous and epic. I have to throw a hot dog on the green in front of Tiger.'" A very logical conclusion to come to! We were tempted to hurl Nerds at Hillary Clinton after watching Dolphin Tale, so we really get this guy, you know? [Press Democrat via Deadspin]

Bright star of the generation 'Next'
Austin Butler is an actor who, probably, very soon will declare itself in full voice. It is called one of the brightest stars of the generation "Next", and therefore, it is not surprising that his life and work chained constant attention of the press. He is handsome, talented, and very organic in any on-screen role. Love girls and respect for colleagues. And what else is needed for a bright career?
Yes, definitely call Austin Butler, one of the main stars of American cinema is very difficult. However, in the near future, this ambitious blonde has all the chances to be among the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. Just have to wait. In the meantime, it's time to talk about the biography of the young actor a little more detail. As developed in his career? What secrets keeps his personal life? Learn all that you can today.
Early years, childhood and family
Now our hero was born in one of the largest cities of the southern United States – Anaheim. His parents are Laura and David Butler worked in the field of cinema, as well as themselves often acted in films. Although this fact, of course, is not something extraordinary for the residents of American California. Striking confirmation of this is the fact that an actress is the older sister of our today's hero. Although, of course, to surpass the glory of the starry brother and son could not be any of this talented family.
Your way to the heights of cinematic art Austin Butler started quite early. When I was thirteen (at the time the future actor studied only in the seventh grade) he received an offer from one of the advertising agents, and subsequently began to work closely with him. From this moment on, the talented blonde began to regularly visit various auditions and castings. Followed by followed by the first on-screen role. During that period Austin was shot mostly in commercials, but sentences in some point became so much that in fifteen years for the sake of continuing his career when he had to leave school. So future favorite of all us girls were homeschooled. With him were parents and private teachers. Thanks to this approach, for some time after Butler was able to pass the external examination and before other peers to obtain a diploma of graduation from high school. Freed from "school ties", a young native of Anaheim had the opportunity to fully devote themselves to their careers. During this period he started to work as a model and also appearing with small cameo roles in the popular American TV series. The best known were his minor role in the TV series "ICarly", "zoey 101" and "Hannah Montana". During this period he made acquaintance with many prominent figures in television of the United States. Famous American producers, one after another made it to your list of contacts, but because the new work at some point began to receive almost on a regular basis.
Acting career, filmography
The first major success in the career of the young actor became the feature film "The Faithful", which is, however, little known to readers from the CIS countries. In this picture Austin Butler played a major role, strengthening thereby its position in the world of American cinema. After this vivid role of our today's hero returned to the familiar minor roles in the series. But pretty soon got another big role in the teen Comedy "Aliens in the attic".
This time the talented native of Anaheim could feel a real star. As a guest actor, he appeared in several episodes of the new series, but then got a regular role in the television project "Life unexpected". It is noteworthy that this American show became the first dramatic tape in the career of the young actor. In the aforementioned television movie Austin starred in for two years, during which time he also worked as a model and singer. As for the music career, it is worth noting the fact that singing the work of Butler has always been inextricably linked to its substantive work. In the recording of songs he was helped by some leaders of American TV premiere of songs often took place in the framework of certain episodes of the television series. The most effective Austin worked as a musician in the period from 2007 to 2009. During these years he released several successful singles, but later returned in the movie. +
In 2011, the year the actor played the role in the spin-off e (branch) "high school musical" ribbon – "excellent Pei adventure". This role to this day is one of the highlights in a short filmography of American actor.

Thanks to roles in data feeds Austin Butler became well known among teenagers the United States of America. Many girls do not hesitate to call him the new sex symbol of American TV entertainment.
Personal life

Lovers do not hide their relationship and often appeared together at parties and social events.
