Business Parks
In November 2000, the City Council initiated a study into future business park sites and development. The goal of this Study is to identify priorities for park development and for the future economic development of Modesto.
For the Study, the Council selected 5 sites for review and evaluation. This evaluation included topics such as: infrastructure needs, job generation potential, development costs, proximity to major transportation and funding possibilities.
Development Reports & Plans
May 1, 2001, the Council reviewed a Draft Report on the 5 business park sites. They distributed this Draft Report to the public to solicit input from property owners, developers, realtors, engineers and the citizens of Modesto. City staff incorporated public comments received into the report, and presented the Final draft at a special Community Development and Housing Committee and City Council Workshop held on September 17, 2001.
At the September 17, 2001 Workshop, the City Council approved a motion to accept the Business Park Development Program Action Plan, making the following changes:
Change the word 'institute' to 'encourage' in Item No. 4 under the Summary of the Action Plan.
Delete the MJC West Industrial Component from the original list of five sites.

Cebuano is more of a spoken language but does have fixed grammatical rules that can be learnt. Native Cebuano speakers are able to speak the language fluently but very few understand its structure. They know when something sounds wrong but can not explain it when you ask them. This is why we engaged trained education/instructional development professionals to design and develop our own, proprietary course of instruction that is as contemporary as the language being spoken on the streets of Cebu today!
The biggest problem students of any language face is not being able to immerse themselves in the language and culture. In the Philippines there are many distractions such as signs written in English and friendly locals all too ready to save the foreigner the trouble of speaking the local lingo. Focusing on the language, speaking only the local language and thinking in the local language are the ways the student can help themselves learn quicker and more completely. For those actually living in the Visayas this is easier than a 'Kano' waiting to make his next trip to Cebu to meet his girlfriend, fiancee or wife. If you are truly determined to learn though, you will find a way.
CAN YOU LEARN A LANGUAGE FROM AN eBOOK?
Of course you can. Will you become fluent? No way! An eBook based course can teach you vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure and various rules, word use and so on. It is of absolutely no use for listening and speaking practise unless you use a recording device of some kind or have someone to work with you. But without the text you have nothing, so it is a foundation to successful learning of the language. Ideally, have a 'pillow teacher', a girlfriend, fiancee or wife who can help you learn and practise. Most language learning is by repeated hearing and saying of the words in the appropriate context; just as you learned your native tongue as a small child. Having the rules of grammar and a vocabulary on hand actually speeds up what took you several years of daily immersion to learn.

BURLINGTON, MA--(Marketwire - Jan 22, 2013) - Arbor Networks Inc., a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today announced that Info Security Products Guide, the industry's leading information security research and advisory guide, has named Arbor Networks as a finalist in three categories in its 2013 Global Excellence Awards. These prestigious global awards recognize security and IT vendors with advanced, ground-breaking products and solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of security and technology. Winners will be honored in San Francisco on February 27 during the annual awards dinner and presentation.
"It is gratifying to be named a finalist across three separate categories in this year's Info Security Products Guide awards," said Arbor Networks President Colin Doherty. "For more than a dozen years, Arbor has researched, innovated and solved security challenges in the world's most demanding service provider networks. We are leveraging our global service provider footprint to deliver a unique solution to the enterprise, giving customers visibility into malicious traffic and advanced threats long before they reach their networks. I am personally very pleased that the dedication and hard work of the team at Arbor is being recognized by this prestigious industry award."
Best Overall Security Company
What separates Arbor Networks from others is how the company leverages its service provider footprint to benefit all customers. For example, Arbor's ATLAS® Active Threat Level Analysis System, which is a collaborative project with more than 250 customers who have agreed to share anonymous traffic data totaling 38 terabites-per-second (Tbps), is the world's largest globally scoped threat analysis system in existence.
From this unique vantage point, Arbor is ideally positioned to deliver intelligence about DDoS, malware and botnets that threaten Internet infrastructure and network availability. Arbor customers enjoy a considerable competitive advantage through a micro view of their own network combined with a macro view of global Internet traffic. This is a powerful combination of network security intelligence that is unrivaled today.
Innovation in Enterprise Security: Pravail® Availability Protection System (APS)
Arbor's Pravail APS represents a new type of on-premise security solution, focused on helping to secure the enterprise perimeter from threats to the availability of a business's applications and services -- in essence, its livelihood. Pravail APS specifically helps protect against application-layer distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and was built to stop attacks promptly without upfront configuration or any user interaction. It delivers DDoS attack identification and mitigation capabilities that can be rapidly deployed, even during an attack. Enterprises can also integrate Pravail APS upstream with their service providers' DDoS protection services to help stop volumetric DDoS attacks.
New Product Launch: Pravail® Network Security Intelligence (NSI)
Pravail NSI monitors network traffic data and uses advanced analytics to help organizations close the security gaps left by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It looks inside the network and delivers the situational awareness required to identify advanced threats, internal network misuse or abuse, and infected mobile devices connected to the network. With Pravail NSI, Arbor has created a platform for delivering the actionable security intelligence that is critical for identifying and stopping attacks.

Cholo? Your last name is Cholo?
Even in Disneyland's Critter Country, I can't escape from my name. The lady at the Hungry Bear restaurant was holding my credit card in her hand and looking at me quizzically. She admitted she had never come across a real Cholo in all her years living in the United States.
She was curious, yet polite so I didn't take offense. Besides, I had been through this a gazillion times before. I knew what she was thinking. Is that really your last name? But how? Did you marry a Mexican ... or a gang member?
Identity can be such a bitch. Cholo is my last name and indeed, I am Latina. Coupled with the mysteries of genetics, I am a human curiosity maybe just a bit short of a circus freak show. My hair was freshly dyed a blazing red, my eyes are green and I have fair skin.
I was born Ana Beatriz Cholo. My birth certificate lists my father as a native of Colombia and my mother from Brazil. My father and my relatives on his side of the family look like the natives in the movie "The Mission" except without the bowl-shaped haircuts. All of them have black hair, dark skin, broad noses and wide faces. My mom, on the other hand, is fair with black hair and brown eyes. My maternal grandfather had green eyes and emigrated from Italy to Brazil after World War II.
I admit, I'm even intrigued by my surname because it's so unusual. How in the world did my family end up with that name? Nobody in my family seems to know. Wikipedia describes Cholo as "an ethnic slur created by Hispanic criollos in the 16th century, and it has been applied to individuals of mixed of pure American Indian ancestry, or other racially mixed origin." When I Googled it years ago I learned there's a Cholo tribe in the rainiest region of the world, which is located in Colombia.
I grew up speaking Spanish and Portuguese because that's what my parents spoke. I didn't know a lick of English until I was immersed in it in kindergarten. There was no bilingual education in those days so it was sink or swim. For the most part, I swam, thanks to my nerd love of books and reading.
But still, I pronounced words with a funny accent and kids being kids, i.e., little jerks, they noticed. They quickly extinguished it by teasing the hell out of me. It's not "da," they'd laugh. It's "the!"
When I was seven years old, we moved to California from New Jersey in a blue Chevy Impala, much like the pioneers except their vehicles of choice were Conestoga wagons. We settled in Stanton, a working-class town in Orange County filled with tacky strip malls and cheap motels favored by the local prostitutes. I went to a public school nearby but when I was in the fifth grade, my parents enrolled me at St. Justin Martyr School.
The school was on the other side of town, in Anaheim. At the time, it was about 98% white. It was here that I learned from my classmates that my last name was a derogatory slang term. Leave it to Catholic school kids. Cholo meant Mexican gang-member, low-rider. Well, as an already awkward kid I have to say that kind of sucked. What I didn't know then was that my name was cultivating my character and making me tougher and stronger. Being a Cholo gave me attitude. How could it not?
It's odd how I can forget the names of people I worked with two years ago but I will never forget the names of the mean girls in my Catholic school. Girls like Monica Miltko. I remember her stringy blonde hair, pale skin and squinty, narrow eyes. One afternoon as I was waiting for my mother to pick me up from school she called me a beaner and wetback all in the same breath.
How dare she?
Sure, we ate rice and beans every night so maybe I was a beaner but I was not a wetback. And that's what I told her. At the time, my English still wasn't the greatest and I struggled with expressing myself but I think she got the point.
I joined the Navy when I was 17. A shipmate of mine loved to sing and he had a beautiful voice. Whenever he saw me along the passageways, he sang my name. That was a first. He made Cholo sound beautiful.
After fours years in the military and an honorable discharge, I got married in a shotgun wedding on a dairy farm in rural Tennessee. Getting married to a Southerner gave me the opportunity to change my last name. I wondered if, as Ana Tipton, I would be able to blend in now. When I worked as a country music disc jockey in Southern Maryland, where my Navy Seabee husband was stationed for a few years, nobody had a clue I was Latina.
At the start of my reporting career, I changed my byline. I was getting a divorce and besides, I never really felt like a Tipton. Tiptons are from the Deep South. Let's just say they are different from me in every possible way you can think of. I went back to my full name - Ana Beatriz Cholo.
To this day, I have never met another Cholo. That is, another person not related to me who has the same last name. This, of course, excludes those individuals who are described as Cholos. That's different.
A rap song called "Lean Like a Cholo" came out a few years back. I wasn't sure whether to be embarrassed or to just roll down my windows and blast it from my convertible Saab and sing, "elbows up, side to side, I lean like a Cholo." When I went to a popular LA restaurant called El Cholo, I showed them my driver's license. My reward? A free margarita.
Someday I hope to go back to Colombia, research my family and perhaps stop in and visit the Cholo tribe.
I embrace my peculiar name and I'm proud of it. It made me who I am. A few years back I even got "Cholo" inked in Old English on the back of my neck. Why not? This is what happens when you get old. You no longer give a crap about what others think.

We have all heard that the best way to wash our hair and keep it squeaky clean is to lather, rinse and then repeat. But how many of us do that? And is it really necessary? Well, as it is often the case, there isn't a clear answer that suits everyone. It really depends on your hair type and how many products you use on your hair.
Most people don't need to lather, rinse and repeat
Most people don't need to repeat the lather and rinse step twice and if they do, it might cause more damage to their hair! Shampoos contain cleansing agents that are designed to remove dirt, product buildup and other impurities from your hair but they usually work too well and remove too much natural oil as well, which is what keeps hair naturally moisturized. If you strip too much of it, hair becomes dry and that's why it is recommended you use a conditioner after shampooing: to replenish what's been removed.
Who should repeat the lather and rinse step then?
Sometimes though your regular shampoo just isn't enough to remove all the dirt in your locks and so lathering more than once may be necessary. That's true for people with very oily hair and for those that have a lot of product buildup in their hair. Even in this case though, using a clarifiying shampoo, which contain a higher concentrations of detergents than regular shampoos, once a week may be a better option.
What I do
I have very oily hair and the day after I wash them they are already dirty and greasy but I have never lathered and rinsed more than once. Instead, washing it every other day with regular shampoo and using a clarifying one once every 10 days seems to be enough to keep my hair clean. Granted, apart from shampoo and conditioner, I hardly use any other product on my hair so I hardly have any buildup to remove. If I did use a lot of products on my oily hair, I think every now and then I would have had to repeat the lather and rinse step though!
What about you? Do you lather, rinse and repeat?

Protest buttons and ribbons
The most essential right of citizens in a free society is the ability to challenge the decisions and actions of their government and to make their opinions known. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. From local protests to marches on Washington, demonstrations have forced presidents to publicly take stands and clarify positions on issues they often wish to avoid.

CNET First Look
Hands-on: The new, thinner Razer Blade gaming laptop cuts into ultrabook territoryRazer's latest laptop isn't a touch covertible or a tablet...but it's probably one of the trimmest graphics-packed PCs we've seen. Check out our exclusive First Look.
Hey, I'm Scott Stein. What exactly is going on in the world of PC gaming right now? Well, you've got new Intel processors on the horizon and you've got companies that are trying to redefine Windows 8. In the middle of that, you got Razer, who has made some pretty aggressive products. Now, they've just announced a brand new laptop, another Razer Blade. This is a classic gaming laptop but it's very thin. And we've got one right here and you can see right here, it is thin. It's really thin and in fact, it has dimensions that resemble the Retina display MacBook Pro in terms of how compact and solid-feeling it is. It's all aluminum and it's matte black and it's kinda like a dream mini MacBook Pro dedicated to gaming. And what you've got inside are specs that fit a higher end type of laptop, a quad-core Core i7 processor that's fourth generation. We can't even begin to the specifics of that until an embargo that's coming soon. And we've got graphics in here. NVIDIA GTX765M GeForce graphics with 2 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory inside so-- which is pretty nice; 8 gigabytes of RAM and it solid state hard drive in here, not standard mechanical hard drive; starting 128 gigabytes, you can go up to 256 or 512. You know something's here. The price is $1799 so that's high but if you're comparing it to stuff like the $2000 Retina Display MacBook Pro or the high-end gaming laptops, it's not as high. 4.1 pounds, so it's not super light but it is designed that fits pretty easily into a backpack and it has a 14-inch 1600 x 900 display. As you can see here, the display is matte but it is not touch. A lot of gaming laptops seem to be going in this direction of weight and touch because gamers may not necessarily want it. It does have a standard track pad beneath with its own dedicated click buttons and a full backlit keyboard here. That's Synapse 2.0 for those who connect to Razer's programmable ecosystem. But there are no extra macro buttons and nothing like a touch screen over here. There are dual stereo speakers on the side that are Dolby-equipped. They're nice and loud, so surprisingly loud when you first hear them. And a little power button right up there. What's it missing? Well, there's no optical drive. It doesn't have an Ethernet jack. It has three USB 3.0 ports and it has HDMI. Kind of bare bones, but if you're looking at it as a gaming device on the go, maybe that's the style. I would have preferred an Ethernet jack. I'm sure a lot of people would. And there's no dongle in the box so you'll have to find a solution there. Is this going to be a success? We'll have to see. I mean, Razer had some pretty experimental designs before but the nice thing throughout all of those products has been a really nice attention to detail and design. This is probably the most accessible product that Razer's made in terms of computer hardware. So where does that put the Razer Blade? It is a very nice design. Will you miss the touch screen? Who knows? Stay tuned for a full review coming up soon. I'm Scott Stein with the new 14-inch Razer Blade from Razer.

Decent kit for the money
Reviewed By Igor T (SYRACUSE, NY) Reviewed for a 2004 Volkswagen Golf —4/22/2016 8:23 PM
These StopTech SS lines seem to be well-made for the price I paid, look nice and fit just like OEM lines in my R32. Installation was easy and took a couple of minutes , made some difference in braking. Will order another set for the rear .

In the last few years, digital printing technology has made it possible to put a full color imprint on many 3 dimensional items. Instead of a simple one or two color imprint this technology opens up a whole new array of possibilities for full color advertising. Full color printing is not yet available on all items. Inks for some materials are not yet available. Pictured here is a sampling of items that can be used for full color printing. Please call us for more ideas and information.
Pricing is related to the size of the imprint as well as other factors. As a guideline, smaller coverage areas (like on a pen) would incur a running charge of $0.75/v; larger coverage areas, $1.50/v. The set up charge is $60/v. Special handling charges and additional production time may apply.

This villa in Alamos Park offers exclusive and completely private accommodation. It is set only a 5 minute walk from the resort centre of Golf Del Sur which is based around 3 pretty squares each with their own evening entertainment. Here you will also find many boutiques, a doctor, a chemist and a well stocked supermarket.
I can highly recommend this beautiful villa. The villa itself is huge, really clean and has everything you could possibly need whilst on holiday and very child friendly with safety gates on the top and bottom of the stairs. The free wireless Internet was very much appreciated by our children. The TV had a good selec tion of channels. The pool is large and also very secure with a lockable gate if holidaying with young children. The area is lovely with supermarket, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. The bus stop is just round the corner from the villa and within 10 minutes you are in Los Christianos - really cheap and quick transport as only 10 euros for the 6 of us! Very good take always that deliver to the villa if you cant be bothered venturing out or cooking in. There is a caretaker called Lee on hand should you need any assistance. He was lovely and sorted out a couple of minor issues very quickly - nothing was too much trouble. As others have reported you are under the flight path but our children loved the planes come over and it didnt bother us in the slightest - the noise lasted seconds and it was gone and on the plus side you dont have far to get to and from the airport which is a bonus. This is one of the nicest places we have stayed and I have very high standards. Shame we only went for a week because it wasnt long enough.......In summary fabulous villa, great location and very good value for money. Well recommended.
Absolutely loved the villa and the pool. The villa has everything you need and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and have made some great memories. Highly recommend staying at this villa, very impressed with everything. Thanks!
Absolutely loved the property, very clean and feels homely. The area was nice and quiet with all attractions in close proximity and airport located just 15 mins away. My boyfriend had a fabulous surprise 25th birthday. Would definitely stay here again.
Thank you so much!

One is more popular than the other, yet some people still have troubles choosing which one is the best for their kitchen faucet. There are general pros and cons to each, yet brands tend to focus more on the pull down faucets when they make their models. This can get confusing for customers that may like the design of a pull out faucet but can't find one that carries the features they like. A bigger concern is finding the perfect pull out faucet with all of the features you want, but finding a pull down faucet with similar features for a better price.
What is the best choice to make in that situation?
That is where this guide comes into play, to help you make the decision so you don't have to regret the purchase. Returning a kitchen faucet due to dissatisfaction is a burden on both the consumer and the company. By using this guide, you can get the decision right the first time and not have to worry about holding off on an important installation. Below is an in-depth list of the pros and cons of pull out and pull down faucets.
Pull Out Faucets
These are not often seen in the kitchen, and in some houses have found their way into other parts of the house instead. Considered to be secondary to pull down faucets in both appeal and sales, pull out faucets are a great example of an underdog that deserves a shot. Pull out faucets work well in areas with small sinks because of the way they are designed.
Pull down faucets often have a high arch to them and compensate for space they take by offering either 190 or 360-degree swivel support. When using a pull out faucet, that clearance is not needed and can lead to less hassle from the user. With their shorter spouts, they can also get rid of a known problem with high arching faucets that cause them to not be directly in the middle of the sink when stationary.
This leads to awkward designs and having to pull the spray head down just to fill a pot of water. Since the design of pull out faucets was made with space saving in mind, this is not a concern for either smaller sinks or bigger sinks. It is the best of both worlds in this regard, but the amount of pull out faucets are slim pickings compared to the pull down faucets.
This leaves design and style choices to a minimum, forcing buyers to sometimes settle for a look they don't want. Consumers that prefer the two lever system in their kitchen faucet will also find that pull out faucets accommodate them a lot more. That could possibly be the main selling point for users that have still not adopted to the single lever system.
Pull Down Faucets
The golden child of the kitchen faucet industry is the pull down faucet, with millions sold per year by comparison. These beautiful high arching faucets instantly raise the wow factor in any kitchen and have many, many designs to choose from. It is exhausting to go through all the different types of styles and designs, and extremely fulfilling.
They also have the best spray heads available with many functions not included with the spray heads of pull out faucets. If you are going for a motionless kitchen faucet then pull down is the way to go and in all seriousness the only way to go. So for modern users that are designing their kitchen, looking at a pull out faucet will only send those plans backward. You will have issues if you have a smaller sink or a smallish sink, which is why measurements are extremely important when going for pull down.
The position you want your faucet to be in when it is stationary is directly in the middle of the sink, no more and no less. To make up for space it takes up most models have swivel action, but not all of them go a full 360 degrees. This may not seem like a big deal, in theory, but when you're operating with limited space an extra 180 degrees could make all the difference in the world. At one point pull out faucets had the advantage with their hoses being more manageable, and less prone to issues.
Over the years, this has been remedied by major manufacturers and the small ones have followed suit so that there are no benefits at all between the hoses of a pull out or a pull down faucet. Homes with weak water pressure may have some problems with pull down faucets, but that is naturally by design. Consumers will notice that in the next few years there will be the considerable push for pull down faucets as major companies continue to innovate, which in turn may leave pull out faucets behind the curve.
This doesn't mean that they are becoming obsolete, it just means that pull down faucets has a higher priority in the market, which is something that has been going on for years. With more sinks accommodating the design of pull down faucets, it is becoming less likely to have the issue with the faucet being in the middle of the sink when installing. Once this becomes a thing of the past, pull out faucets will become more of a traditional value rather than contemporary or modern.
With the benefits and disadvantages of the two kitchen faucet designs in plain sight, the customer can make the call on what they want to spend their money on. Pull out faucets have been known to be a lot cheaper in price, but that shouldn't be the final decider on making a purchase, especially one that is meant to last for years. Take the time to read over the guide and you're sure to find exactly what you're looking for to make your kitchen into one of the neighborhoods best ever.

Post Panda Article Length for SEO
Within the last decade the World Wide Web has been overwhelmed with copycat websites, sites filled with keyword-stuffed, scraped, spun and badly written articles. It's also been inundated with weak or inaccurate content. The general purpose of much of the content was SEO to gain revenue via Google's AdSense program or via various affiliate programs. The lines between good quality and poor quality became blurred. As a result, so did market trust. Google, still the most powerful search engine on the web, decided to make some adjustments. One of the key components Google's algorithm engineers looked at when creating the 2011 Panda algorithm was content quality.
The primary intention of Panda was to place pages with weak or thin content behind those with good quality content. The purpose was to reward websites that had authority and responded to the reader rather than AdSense dollars. The average length of articles has always been based on what search engines and web publishers knew about how people searched the web or used websites. It was discovered that for the most part, readers skimmed the page, rather than settled in for a long read. Article lengths ranged between 300 and 700 words. The quality of those articles has always been an important factor.
Since Panda, lengthier articles are showing up in the search engine results pages ahead of the short snappy articles on the same topic. Lengthier articles are generally more in-depth and therefore carry more weight, offering a richer experience for the searcher due the the site's authoritative nature. Length isn't the key element to making it to page one in the search engine results pages, however. What Google really wanted when creating Panda was what the searcher wanted – quality.
An article should only be as long as necessary to ensure rich content, but articles of at least 1000 words gain ranking as they are believed to be authoritative. Articles of 3000 words in length are even more appealing to Google's search engine, but it's also about what is on the page. Longer articles are appealing because they are generally more in-depth, but they should also include photos, graphs or videos to enhance the reader experience and lower the site's overall bounce rate. Lengthier articles are rising in the ranks since the Panda update, something niche websites should shoot for. If the reader is engaged, Google will notice.
Until Panda, the key components to ensure an article was recognized by Google were keywords and back-links. Quality was difficult for the algorithms to determine. Bounce rate has never been a true factor in determining quality. Word count or length was only relevant to the reader if the article lacked the information he was looking for. It only related to SEO if the content was too thin to be recognized. Long before the dreaded update, writers knew their articles had to be unique. They had to offer quality and value to their readers, but this concept was lost.
The majority of visitors to a website stay for less than one minute. If the majority of your readers are hitting the back-button, something is amiss on your site or on particular pages within your site. Articles should be as long or as short as they need to be in order to hold the reader's interest. They should respond to the search queries in a thorough and compelling way. If the reader gets exactly what he wants with a longer article, he won't be so quick to bounce off the site.
A review of post Panda webmaster forums related to article length reveals many web publishers have experienced higher ranking with longer articles. Writers are revealing more page views with longer articles. Writers who ghost-write for web publishers are getting more requests for longer articles. In a Google Webmaster Central thread, Susan Moskwa, Webmaster Trends Analyst for the search engine, assured web publishers it's not about length. It's about quality. It doesn't matter if a web publisher offers that quality in 200 words or 2000 words. Good reader experience is an essential component in the Panda algorithm.

Dictionary Terms Explained
- Right use of power
Throughout many cultures such as the Hindu, Greek and Native American horses are revered and held in high esteem. Horse represents power and how we use our own power in life. We are each given our own brain, heart, body and life energy. How will we use them? How will we approach our lives? If you have ever stood at the side of a field and watched horses cantering about, playing and then suddenly taking off in a gallop you can hear their power. How they have such weight and can gain such momentum. The clattering of their hooves against hard earth leave you in no doubt these animals are sacred and have within them great power. Horses have helped humans throughout history spread over great distances. Before the horse was used by humans we were very limited in how far we could travel.
In the Tarot the Knights in most decks ride on horseback. Each of the four Knights represents a different aspect of ourselves. How will we apply our focus? Will we steam in completely focussed on what we wish to achieve and risk losing other things (Knight of Swords)? Will we leap in at the first opportunity with both feet full of fire and enthusiasm but risk lacking the longevity to reach the end (Knight of Wands)? Will we methodically take one thing at a time and risk taking too long (Knight of Pentacles)? Or will we listen quietly to higher voices to help guide us but risk not actually making the dream a reality (Knight of Cups)? Or can we manage to balance our four aspects so that we can use all these skills exactly when they are called for? This will give us the best power and we will accomplish great things.
You should wear or have around you the symbol of horse when you wish to be more conscious of "Right use of Power". A spark to fire you off, the momentum to keep going, a focus to keep you eye on the goal, and the listening to check you are working for the greater good of all that is.
Peter Stone Jewellery
- High quality jewellery manufacturer
The Peter Stone Company purchases raw silver and produces their own true .925 sterling silver alloy in their own factory. All rings are cast to size and craftsmen cut and inlay each stone for a perfect fit. Every piece of jewellery created is hand polished not tumble polished, which leads to a high quality finish that is noticeably different.
Peter Koslowski had been working on merchant ships since 1983 while living in Sri Lanka and was fortunate to be exposed to an abundance of precious stones and he began to purchase and trade them, as well as silver. During this period he also studied gemology and jewellery making in a number of countries. This then lead to the founding of the Peter Stone Company in 1992 in Bangkok, Thailand, where he still resides.

By Kathryn Janowski
Girls get ready, you have four new guys to swoon over: Rixton, four boys from the UK who sure know how to sing. They were discovered on YouTube for their cover of Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up." They racked up 250,000 views and got the attention of Scooter Braun, the guy who brought us Justin Bieber (we'll forgive him since he's giving us Rixton). Now, the boys are on their way to becoming the next big boy band.
You've probably heard their hit single "Me and My Broken H
eart" on the radio. This song really gets the essence of the band. They give pop music a soulful twist. They fuse fast, fun beats with really expressive singing and lyrics. If you like what pop stations play, you'll love Rixton. "Wait On Me" is their follow-up single; and, it's a great upbeat love song that you'll play over and over again, I promise. And just when we think they can't get any better; Rixton prove us wrong with their song "Hotel Ceiling." It's a slowed down love song that shows us Rixton is more than just pop. I think Rixton can hit the right note for anyone.
But on to the important part, are they cute? OMG YES. Right now, I'd say my favorite is Charley because his DJ name is Yolo Flipper, but the fan girl in me says I don't have a favorite and there is no reason they can't all be my next boyfriend. Between Jake, Lewi, Danny, and Charley, you'll find your next boo-thang. Yup, boo-thang.
Look up their songs, and go to www.rixtonband.com if you want to pre-order their album. They're also going to be touring with Ariana Grande, so you know they're going to be big. Check them out, you won't regret it.

There were 3 waitresses surrounding a guy at the entrance. Sheep was sitting nearby with her mother and couldn't help but to watch how they all were behaving.
It seemed as if they all knew each other already. Although I didn't really understand what they were talking, I could tell that the girls were teasing the guy. Well, it was hard to tell what they were saying because of all the giggles however, I think it's usually the case, right? When there is one guy and many girls, the guy gets the attention and lots of teases. <.___.>{?]
Judging by the girls' body movements (shaking their asses, moving back and forth, ganging up on the guy…), I thought maybe they were flirting with him. <.__.>
Anyway, I then called one of the waitresses and asked for a refill for my drink. One left to refill my Coke, another followed and the girl who was left with the guy — well, she was lucky to have him all to herself!
Suddenly her voice changed into a much more proper behavior than her former giggly self. It was as if she became more serious and matured. (Laughs)
When the 2 others returned, she resumed to being funny and playful along with the girls. <^-^>lll
This lasted for some time until my mother called for the bill. 1 girl left to get the bill, 1 also left and the last girl — she was told to clean up my table but she didn't come immediately. Instead, she hogged onto the guy and continued talking, this time in a different manner. How do I describe this manner? Baa…It's like you want to let someone hear your 'beautiful voice' sort of thing I guess. (Laughs)
When I left the place, I told my mother about my observation and she said she kind of noticed them too. Also, she said the guy was quite good-looking so it's no wonder the girls flocked around him.
Baa…That so? <=__=>
I heard his phone receiving smses throughout the time and that he kept checking them on the spot. Maybe there weren't only 3 girls trying to tackle him at that time but there were more — via his phone.
So this is….the Courting game, ka? <´•ω•`>
It seems so — competitive… <x__x>
Baa~ <^-^>
Initially, I wanted to blog about my frustration regarding the lil monkey boy living behind my house. But my rage has tamed down so I'm going to let it slip. Though I would like to say — There are some kids that you can adore dearly. However, there are those that you'd want to drown in the bathtub.
This is all.
Sheep shall blog again to everyone… ↓
…Once sheep is done with her 2nd DIY set~! (Laughs)
Speaking of which, I went to Action City today and it seems their DIY sets slightly differs from mine. The models are a little bigger than the one I made as well as more open. For a visual idea, please refer to Dino-chan's blog post on her DIY which she bought at Action City.
In any case, you may want to try out the ones at Action City. Otherwise, perhaps there are craft shops that has more variety. <^-^*>/

A notarized document helps prevent fraud from occurring. When a letter is notarized by a notary, the notary is telling the court that the person or persons signing the document has proven their identity, as confirmed by Get Legal.Continue Reading
Mortgages, deeds and living wills must be notarized for them to uphold in a courtroom, as stated by Get Legal. Other documents can also be notarized so the person signing the paper does not have to go to court to prove that they signed the paperwork.
A notary will check identification of the signers before adding his or her signature to confirm that the letter has been signed legally. The notary will also make sure the document is signed in front of them as opposed to being signed before being brought into the office.
Many legal cases also need notarized documents. Affidavits must be notarized in order to be admissible in court. If they are not notarized, they hold no value in the court system.Learn more about Law

90210 Spoilers Galore: Scoop on Donna, Season Finale and More!Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Remember 90210?
The CW series has gone so long without a new episode that many fans may have forgotten about its existence. But it returns in a big way this Monday, with an episode titled "Life's a Drag."
Thanks to E! News, we've uncovered a series of spoilers that provide fans with a wealth of information regarding the final eight episode of season one. Read on to learn about the return of Donna Martin and more...
- Next month, Tori Spelling returns as Donna. The reasons? Problems at home with David, along with the consideration of opening a clothing boutique in Beverly Hills.

There probably won't be any impact on my daughter because she attended an early afternoon screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 on the Fourth of July. At three weeks of age, she can't vote (although it is New Mexico) and spent most of the 120 minutes asleep in her mother's arms anyway. And while there are parts of the movie I wish I'd slept through, my suspicion is that Fahrenheit 9/11 will have some impact on the November elections.
For starters, I can't remember the last time an audience applauded at the end of a movie. The crowd at the screening we attended put their hands together (some even giving a standing O) and had the sort of palpable energy normally associated with a religious revival. Maybe these true believers were riding a glucose high fueled by popcorn, soft drinks and Skittles, but there wasn't any question they'd seen the light of some sort.
Granted, most probably wouldn't ever vote for Bush. But there's a difference between a disgruntled, apathetic voter and a voter who is angry and determined. Fahrenheit 9/11 seems to motivate the anti-Bush vote the way evangelicals found inspiration in The Passion of the Christ. Only in this case, the guy writing the epistle is Michael Moore, not Mel Gibson, and there's a presidential election less than four months away—not necessarily the best news for Republicans.
Some personal thoughts on the movie: Moore's got a left-of-center agenda you have to take into consideration. His pre-war Iraq looks like a desert version of Sesame Street—no gassing of Kurds or any of that other Saddam Hussein nastiness here. The scene in front of the White House focused on a grieving mother whose son died in Iraq seems contrived, overdone and gratuitous. Her emotion is much more powerful—and real—in an earlier interview filmed at home with her family.
Off-camera shots intended to make his Republican targets look foolish (Paul Wolfowitz licking a comb, then spitting on his hand to smooth his hair back before an interview, for example) can be taken of anyone—including, I suspect, Michael Moore. For whatever reason (bias?) the Democrats don't have any of their goofy outtakes as part of the Fahrenheit scenery.
Moore does raise questions that deserve nonpartisan thought, deliberation and answers, though. The close personal (and, possibly, financial) relationship between the Bush family and the Saudi monarchy and the effect it has on U.S. foreign policy, for example.
We know that 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in the 9-11 attacks were Saudi nationals and that the wife of Prince Bandar (nicknamed Bandar "Bush" by the president's family) contributed money to at least two of the hijackers, albeit "inadvertently." According to news reports, 28 pages of the 9-11 Commission report on the 9-11 attacks remain blacked out, because they are potentially embarrassing to the Saudis. Then, of course, there are those flights after 9-11 when Saudis—including members of the Bin Laden family—were allowed to take to the air and go home while American citizens were faced with travel restrictions.
At the end of the day, Fahrenheit is a political film and, like the political races before voters this November, you can take it or leave it. Although, for my money, it's worth the price of admission just to see John Ashcroft sing "Let the Eagle Soar."
And a final thought ... Thou shalt not kill. But you probably shouldn't beat your kids, either. Cody Posey will have one helluva "What I did this summer" paper to write in the fall. Having just completed the eighth grade, the 14-year-old is now charged with the murder of his father, stepmother and stepsister. But this doesn't look like an Eric and Lyle Menendez murder for money or Nintendo. It looks like Posey wanted his father to stop beating him.
National attention has been attracted to the homicides, because they took place on the New Mexico ranch of ABC news personality Sam Donaldson. Donaldson acknowledged that Posey's father Paul was "... a little hard on his son, but that's the way in the Southwest."
Others would disagree with Donaldson on Southwestern mores and might see Paul Posey's treatment of his son as abuse. School friends recall repeated incidents over the years of black eyes and bruises. According to news reports, Faustino Salcido, father of two of Cody's friends, said, "There were a lot of people who wanted to whip his dad because of the way he treated him [Cody] in public." And that attitude was based on treatment they saw in public.
Where the stepmother and sister fit into this tragedy is a question mark. Either way, three people who should be alive are dead and a kid who, according to teachers, was bright, full of energy and got good grades, will have a far different life than he would have before he reached for a gun.
Then again, if reports prove true, Paul Posey could have found a different way of communicating with his son. Perhaps one that didn't involve his fists.

When American kids go back to school, many will have stories to tell about their summer camps, the new friends they made, and the new things they learned. The 12 and 13-year-olds that went to Inova Nursing Exploration Summer Camp will be talking about infection control, intensive care and vital signs. Their week-long camp experience took them into a Virginia hospital and the world of nursing.
Forty-two students were welcomed to Nursing Camp this summer. Camp director Ellen Swartout explains it's an intense, but fun, week. "They get to view an actual surgery in session," she said. "Another thing is to go see the Aircare helicopter and learn how critically ill patients are managed on the helicopter. They try the equipment, that is very popular. When they go to EC, Emergency Center, they give them actual deficiencies that they have to work out on the wheelchair, and things of that nature. All kinds of hands-on things."
Kathryn Caldwell and Kara Halpin attended Nursing Camp last month. Though neither of them is sure of her future profession, both say the camp was a good opportunity to learn more about the field of nursing.
Thirteen-year-old Kathryn says her mother encouraged her to go to the camp. Mary Caldwell says she has always wanted her children to learn new skills during their summer vacations.
"It is just amazing how one week can pack so much activities into it," said Mary Caldwell. "One thing that Kathryn did and showed me how much the program benefited her is that I had in a few different times friends over and in the evening she'd go through every thing she did. And I can tell from her enthusiasm that the program was genuine."
The program usually starts in the Labor and Delivery Unit, where campers learn how nurses work with women about to give birth. According to Rene Zelkin, who directs the Labor, Delivery and Recovery Unit at Fairfax Hospital, kids at this age, especially boys, are extremely curious about babies.
"Boys this year seem to be more responsive and it was very interesting to watching their body language when I show them certain parts because we go in details in certain areas," she said. "And they ask a lot of questions about what moms do and where babies are there. I mean they seen very positive in the room," she said. "They seem very interested in getting involved and doing certain things that we are doing."
They maybe interested enough to consider nursing as a career. Ellen Swartout says the camp experience highlights the importance of nursing in the U.S. health care system, and the profession's wide-ranging responsibilities.
"We started the program because our intention was to improve the image of nursing through perception," she said. "A lot of people do not know what nurses do in both traditional and non-traditional roles. So it does give a real inside look at the nursing world."
Beyond providing health care, Ms. Swartout says nurses are role models. "Around the age of this program, I was thirteen at the time I wanted to become a nurse because I was exposed to the health care system via an accident," she recalls. "I remember the nurse that took care of me was just a wonderful and caring person. It is funny because her face is still attached to my mind over many years. And it was at that age, 13, that I decided I want to do something like what this woman has done to me."
Many of the students who attended the first nursing summer camp three years ago will be high school seniors this year, and starting to think about college. Inova Nursing Summer Camp officials are planning to contact them and find out what career choices they are making. Ellen Swartout says even if they are not going into health care, these young adults now have a better appreciation for their own health, and the nursing professionals who help them take care of it.

The inPulse is a "fully programmable wireless smartwatch", aka "the perfect hacker accessory".
Basically a Chumby for your wrist, it allows you to code in C to control the OLED display, bluetooth, vibrating motor, buttons, timers, and more.
Plus, with a price of just $150, it's less than most 'dumb' watches, and has customizable watch faces, so you can wear a new watch ever time you leave the house.
It's difficult to create a new sport from scratch, but SALZIGdesign is trying to do just that with Hockem.
The sport is based around the use of a Sporthocker, which is equal parts sports equipment and furniture.
Tricks involve casting, catching, balancing and (of course) sitting on the Sporthocker, with the end of a move signified by the sit. Think of it as a combination of skateboarding, parkour, hacky sack, flatland BMX, and… sitting.
Right now Hockem appears to only be popular in its birthplace of Germany, and perhaps a few other European countries that the Hockem team has traveled too, but given the relentless quest to find the next best thing and get it sponsored by RedBull and added to the X Games, I can only imagine that it's just a matter of time before this extreme seat makes its way to the US.
Sometimes advertising is easy.
Like when you combine a bright yellow Lexus LFA supercar with the bright yellow swimsuit'ed supermodel Rianne ten Haken, and let one drift around the other.
Yup; easy.

Fresh from the warm glow of a superb victory at the Stadium of Light, Kenny Dalglish has heralded his intention to sign world class wingers to provide the ammunition for Sweet Carroll and El Pistolero Suarez.
With the likes of Raheem Sterling developing nicely, the close of the current season provides the best opportunity to recruit two established wingers to add another dimension to Dalglish's pass and move game, as well as aiding the development of the youngsters.
As the Anfield scouts and executives scour planet football for the very best talent we take a look at signings that would definitely enhance the quality of service from the Reds flanks.
Ashley Young:
The Villa flyer is currently experiencing a transitional phase, what with Villa's struggles in the Barclays Premier League. Young cannot be faulted for effort and application, but in recent weeks his on field body language has been undisciplined and very frustrating.
A move to a sleeping giant may be just what the young prodigy needs.
Arjen Robben:
Robben is a proven quantity and has turned it on with the giants of European football. The Dutch Master's mesmerising pace and exquisite dribbling skills would make him the showman of Anfield.
The great entertainer has an eye for goal and can also easily be deployed to fill the gap behind the front two.
Franck Ribery:
Described by Zidane as the "jewel of French football," Ribery possesses the armoury required from a modern day winger.
The sticking point could be European football. Liverpool's exit from the Europa League leaves the Reds with a massive mountain to climb, with hopes of European football at Anfield dwindling.
After scoring the Bavarian winner against Freiburg last Saturday, Ribery described the Europa League as "rubbish," urging his team mates to make the Champions League by going all out for a top three Bundesliga finish.
Ángel di María:
El Angelito is an exhilarating talent. The Argentinian is a close dribbler, provides pinpoint crossing, is creative and oozes flair. Di Maria He's filled big shoes throughout his career, replacing the talismanic Simao at Benfica before taking over from Arjen Robben at the Bernabau.
With Mourinho preferring to deploy the more workmanlike Lassana Diarra in his stead, Di Maria could become surplus to requirements at Madrid.
Milos Krasic:
The Serb is an outright attacker winger, with a knack of sharply cutting infield. Blonde Krasic hasn't quite replaced Pavel Nedved in the Bianconeri's affections, but the Juventus wideman, who hates tracking back, is a breathtaking winger on his day. Krasic's key attributes are his fitness and workrate.
Aaron Lennon:
Though much improved, Lennon's final delivery still lacks killer edge. The key ingredient here is bundles of pace – but is that enough? Small in stature, Lennon can be knocked easily off the ball by the dark artists.
Rafa was very keen on him and fellow wing man David Bentley, but does Dalglish see the Spurs man bombing the right flank with Martin Kelly?
Theo Walcott:
I'm still scratching my head trying to work out the reason for excluding this spine-tingling talent from the 2010 World Cup. With the right breaks and the tutelage of Monsieur Wenger, Walcott can become one of the best players in the world.
He may need to leave the Emirates to find his perfect on field position.
