I've gotten to the point in my life where staying home is usually more appealing than traveling.
Traveling often involves being around this incredibly annoying critters — whaddya call 'em? — oh yeah, humans.
When you travel, you often find yourself surrounded by humans — in traffic jams on the interstate, on trains and subways, on city sidewalks, in elevators, on escalators, in lines and in airplanes. And if you're me, once you get on a plane and finally cram your luggage into an overhead bin packed with too many purses and tiny Minnie Mouse bags that can easily go under a seat, you then get squished between a couple of folks who have smoker's breath and barely fit into their own seat.
"You don't mind if I lay my fat flap on your thigh, do you?"
"Oh, by all means, please. Kinda feels like one of those squishy neck pillows on my leg. Let me guess … Marlboro Lights?"
However, I do put up with humans for the sake of cruising. I simply love being on a ship for a week with folks feeding me and making my bed. Unfortunately, cruise lines have a tendency to book every single cabin on these ships, which means another 2,000 to 4,000 humans are likely to be on board.
The vast majority of these humans are decent folks. Just like when you're stuck in a traffic jam, most drivers just deal with it, but you've always got that one privileged idiot who thinks he needs to rev his motor and blow his horn as if the other 4,752 drivers were conspiring to slow him down.
On my most recent cruise, which was just a little four-day getaway, most of the folks were pretty decent, but when you're crammed into that tight of a spot with so many humans, the privileged will reveal themselves.
On the first night, one fella was so angry that he was screaming at the guest services workers — who, like most crew members, are from everywhere but the U.S. He stormed away from the desk and grabbed an Indian fellow by the arm and demanded, "What do you do here?! What's your job?!"
"I'm just a passenger," he said.
"Fine, somebody get me the captain!"
Um, no. I don't want the captain of my ship coming down to deal with every whiny passenger. Someone's got to watch out for those Bahamian icebergs.
Later, while lying by the pool, a couple of ladies approached one of the crew who was delivering drinks. They were angry because some water from the pool had splashed into their drinks, and they wanted them replaced.
Um, sometimes that happens when you have a drink by the pool. Deal with it. That's about as stupid as trying to eat a lighted candle at your dinner table and complaining to the waiter that it burned your mouth.
It's these kind of privileged folks who leave their shopping carts in parking spaces, throw cigarette butts on the street, talk loudly on cell phones and generally get offended on a daily basis that tire me out. It makes me not want to travel, and it makes me want to stay out of big cities.
It makes me want to simply stay home on my back porch and enjoy the peace and quiet far from all of those privileged idiots who congregate in other places. I might even partake in a frozen margarita. No danger of any pool water splashing in it here.
What? What do you mean the Margaritaville machine is broken? That's the second one! Do you know how much that cost?! We buy his books, his tequila, t-shirts, concert tickets, wooden signs with parrots and margarita glasses! He owes me! GET JIMMY BUFFETT ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW!

10.17.14, Unedited, First Draft Excerpt from "The Education"
Copyright SE 2014
"Seriously, Jvon, I don't blame your son completely. Serea knew what she was about… but did he have to be so rough?" Jole's brow furrowed, hands flying to her hips in the no-nonsense way she'd always had.
Jvon, a village leader and warrior, was used to finding solutions to difficult problems, but when that problem was his son… he shook his head, a rueful tilt to his smirk. "I'm sorry, Jole. It's my fault. I didn't realize the boy was ready for such an education. He's always been a fast mover."
Serea's mother huffed. "Fast is fine, but my girl isn't going to walk straight for a week."
He chuckled, holding up his hands to ward off her ire. "Jole, my boy is sitting on the side of his pallet, hanging his head right now. The girl he wanted more than anything in the world ran off in tears after his first attempt at manhood and his balls are still pulled up into his throat. Neither of them are going to be walking straight for a while."
Jole stepped away, tilting her head. "You mean he didn't…?"
He shrugged, shaking his head with yet another rueful smirk. "He may not have the education, but the boy knew enough to want to wait until his woman enjoyed herself. It's unfortunate that he didn't have the knowledge to make that happen. He stopped when she began to cry. I'm not sure what hurts worse right now… his ego, his young heart, or the throbbing stones he has tucked up between his legs right now."
Jole smiled finally, for the first time. "So the son has the legendary control as well. Isn't that interesting? I will speak to Serea. She will give him a chance to apologize. And perhaps later, a chance to make it up to her. I assume you're going to make sure he knows exactly how to do that?"
He nodded, a twinkle in his eye. "I am. Do you require that I demonstrate those lessons? Perhaps make amends for the trouble my son has caused you?"
Jole chuckled. "Don't tempt me, Jvon. Your wife might be my best friend, but she wouldn't hesitate to skin us both."
"No," he laughed, "she wouldn't. I will speak to Zerek, Jole, but you make sure your girl knows how to get what she wants next time. Not all that come to her in her life will have knowledge or control. She will be happier in the future if she has an education as well."
Jvon turned to leave, intent on finishing the rest of his duties as one of the village leaders quickly before making his way back across the village to his own dwellings. When he finally arrived, he found his son, the eldest, sitting just as he had been before – shoulders stiff, chest rising and falling in heavy breaths to contain his upset. Zerek's eyes were red, his face strained, but to his credit Jvon's son had a dry face. No tears for his heir.
Those bloodshot, puffy eyes rose to his and Zerek spoke for the first time since confessing his sins to his father early in the afternoon. "Is Serea badly injured?"
Ah, those eyes. Red they might be, but the strength and honor therein made Jvon's own chest puff up with pride. His first concern was for the girl. Aye, he would make a fine leader one day. Still, that day was not this one, and Jvon schooled his own expression into one of granite. "So now you want to ask questions of me? Tell me, boy, where were these questions before you decided to pound that girl's body into a bloody mess?"
A tremble went through Zerek's shoulders and he sat a little taller in an attempt to control the feelings so obviously pouring over him. If the lesson weren't such an important one, Jvon would have gathered his young son to him. It was such a difficult task, letting your children grow. In only a few short years his children would all be beyond his lessons, and he would be of no more use to them. The thought made him wish to seek out his wife to discuss the possibility of another child. Hells fire, but he would like to have a dozen more if they were only as strong and worthy as this one.
He sighed, seating himself next to Zerek. "Serea will be fine. Whether or not you have a chance to apologize and make it up to her will be up to you. I can teach you the things you do not yet know, but it is up to you to use the knowledge I put into your head and the wisdom the Gods put into your heart… and there is no shame in asking questions to better yourself."
Zerek sighed. "I did not mean to hurt her. I did not even mean to do what we did, father. It was just so…it felt…"
A smile twitched at the corner of Jvon's mouth, which he suppressed. It was not time yet to laugh over this matter. Zerek's heart was still too burdened, and Jvon would not peel away at his son's pride.
"Yes, it can be powerful… but you must be more so. It concerns me that you feel ready to mate upon a woman at such a young age. Do you have your own dwelling that I am unaware of, my son? A cache of supplies and food ready to support a wife, children?"
Zerek shook his head in silence, his father's censure ultimately the thing that brought tears closest to the surface. Jvon took pity. "No, I did not think so. Perhaps you would like to learn how to control these powerful feelings and turn them into something better? Something that will have Serea sighing to her sisters without the worry of children, at least not until you're ready for them?"
For the first time his son seemed to breath deep. "Yes."
"Good." Jvon smirked. "First, we have dinner."
Zerek blinked and wiped the moisture from his eyes, but obediently followed into the main chamber of the dwelling. When they were seated, Jvon leaned over to speak quietly. "Everything you do, every day, is part of showing Serea that you want her and making her want you. Watch. Learn."
Jvon stood and made his way over to where Olena, his wife, was finishing preparations for the evening meal. His hand slid low on her back as he peaked over her shoulder. "What smells so delicious, my love?"
"Your favorite, of course… my love."
There was a tone in her voice that gave Jvon pause, but he would deal with that later. "Really? Are you sure it isn't you making my mouth water?"
Usually more subtle around his children, he ran his hand blatantly down her backside while scenting her neck, nuzzling the sensitive place behind her ear that would have her melting into a puddle at his feet.
"I'm positive." Her hard voice cut through his intent.
Well, that spot usually had her melting. Obviously, his wife was angry with him. He knew why, and it amused him. Still, she would have to wait to deal with that later, as well. He sighed and kissed her jaw, whispering in her ear. "My only love, if you care to notice, our son is in pain. I have a need to instruct him. You may instruct and punish me later, yes?"
Olena turned her face up to his, kissing him lightly before turning to inspect her children. The younger ones were giggling behind their hands, unused to seeing their father so openly grope his wife, but Jvon was correct. Her strong boy, Zerek, was watching them intently through eyes rimmed in red. The heart in her chest, the one which had leapt at the sight of those eyes the first time her little man had opened them, bled for her son's obvious confusion and embarrassment. Blowing him a small kiss, she reassured him with a mother's look that all would be well.
Turning back to her husband, Olena glared in response to the impish twinkle that lit his eyes. He was enjoying her jealousy. She sighed. Of course he was. Jole had been only too happy to stop by on her way home and tease Olena about Jvon's offer, and she could see now that they had both been very aware and amused by what her response would be. Oh, she knew Jvon would never have followed through, but the idea that he would even flirt with another women, a friend, had wound her up tight. As he had known it would. She would have to make sure to punish her husband well tonight, late after her children were asleep. For now, she would play along. "Teach our son, then. We will speak later."
He smiled, "Thank you, my love… You are such a good mother, Olena."
The hand hidden from their children dropped, along with his voice, delving into the cleft between her legs as he whispered in her ear. "It makes me ache to bury myself between your warm thighs and place another child there. All of the world should be populated with the proud children you raise."
His wife's breath caught on a gasp, but she gathered her wits enough to smirked up at him. "Don't think you're going to charm me, husband. You will help my son find his way to bed happy tonight. You, however, may not be so happy when you find yours."
"We will see."
She giggled, as pretty as the day he first took her for his own. "Yes. We will. Go sit, now. Our meal is getting cold."
Zerek followed his father through the filmy scarves leading into the night-woman's chambers. He'd known such places existed, outside of the villages, but not until recently had he thought of the purpose or dreamt of what would happen within.
Nothing could have prepared him for the sights and sounds of such a place. The grunts and groans, slapping fleshy sounds accompanying feminine cries, and the thick smell of bodies and sweat floating through the thin colorful walls of fabric. They had his stomach twisting into a sickening ball even as his heart tried to thunder out of his chest.
Thoughts of Serena sliced through his mind, and he knew exactly what they were doing. His balls drew up tight, anchoring his dick as it got heavy. It made him sick to think of how good it had felt, even as he had hurt her.
His father turned and motioned him forward. Try as he might, obviously Zerek hadn't kept the thought from painting his face pale, because his father steadied him with a hand on his shoulder. "Put it out of your mind for now, my son. That will never happen again. I will teach you, and you will teach Serea. She will forgive you, I promise, and when she does, you will wipe all of those memories away with the pleasure of your company. Come… I will show you."
He led Zerek forward to sit on a low cushion. They waited but a moment before a woman floated through the curtained door. She was pretty in a way, but nothing in comparison to his Serea. Her black mane of curls were dull when he thought of the spicy brown braid that ran down Serea's back. Her breast and hips too heavy when all he longed for was the lithe young body he'd held in his arms earlier in the day.
Still, there was no denying that the obvious nudity beneath her robe was stirring his abused arousal. He ached to bury his cock in something warm and wet and – gods, so damn soft – again.
The woman tilted her head in question at his father, who produced two coins. "A bit of your time only, and an education of sorts, if you don't mind, mistress Katise."
She nodded. "It's been a long time. I'd be honored." Turning to Zerek, she smiled. "Any son of Jvon Teheran is a welcome e guest. Learn well, my love, and you will never have to pay for any woman's favor."
His father stood and came around behind her. "As I told you before, everything you do applies to making a woman want you. Long before you ever approach a woman, she has watched you walk, talk, eat, joke, flirt, and fight … and she has discussed you with the other women. It's just their way."
A dimple of amusement surfaced in one of Mistress Katise's rosey cheeks, and she nodded in agreement. "It's true."
They shared a smile before Jvon turned back to Zerek. "So you must build a reputation as a strong, intelligent, and worthy man. Judging from young Serea's initial response, you seem to be doing well there. So, let's discuss the specifics of a woman's body and sexual pleasure…"
Zerek's cheeks were ruddy with embarrassment. To have his father say such things in front of this woman, to have her know — it was almost too much to bear. Still, he sat obediently. He would do anything, bear anything, to never have Serea spill another tear. He wanted to make her happy, to make her feel even a tenth of the amazing sensation he'd had momentarily before he'd ruined everything.
He watched as his father ran a slow finger down Katise's neck causing a visible shiver to spread across her skin, raising the tiny little hairs on her arms. Jvon glanced up at Zerek and smiled. "You see? A woman who is ready to be seduced is very, very responsive. The smallest touch will tell you if she is enjoying your attentions. However, you must constantly let her know of your own desire as well, make her feel wanted. Women are fickle creatures — as soon as you've lost their mind, you've lost their body — and if given too much time to think, they will often decide that you aren't as interested in them as you should be and turn cold on you."
Katise chuckled and nodded, although this time her voice was admittedly lower, more sensual. "True again."
Jvon continued. "So, you must immerse yourself in her body. Don't just touch her, but smell her, taste her, talk to her. When you pull her into your arms, she should know that she is the only place you want to be… Come, I will show you."
Jvon flicked a finger and Zerek stood to join him behind the mistress. "Each woman is different, so you should use your hands and your mouth to find your woman likes, but there are several specific places that almost all women find pleasurable. The neck and throat, especially behind the ears and down by the collar bone, are very sensitive. A well placed kiss, suckle, or even tiny bite in these places will have her knees trembling to open for you. The same goes for the wrists, elbows, backs of the knees and the ankles. Try."
Zerek glanced up in surprise as his father motioned towards Katise. He was supposed to do those things to her? Now? He swallowed the sudden lump in his throat and leaned forward to place his lips against the petite mistress' neck, just below her ear. It wasn't hard, considering he was already almost as tall as his father, lacking only by a head. Still, it was awkward and he backed away quickly after the small, chaste kiss was accomplished.
She turned slightly, a small smile playing against her lips. Had they been so red before? He couldn't remember past the buzzing in his head. Her smell had entered his nose as it pressed against her throat, and everything seemed at once both sharp and fuzzy as he tried to deal with the warring sensations assaulting him.
"Give me your hand, darling." The mistress reached out, plucking his hand up and enveloped his index finger with her mouth. The wet heat hit his system like a shot of lighting, bowing his spine as he gasped in shock and pleasure. Her rasping tongue ran along the underside before swirling around in a sensual slide off of the tip. Those red, luscious lips popped off the end of his finger, and the cool air around him only served to further prove just how hot that little mouth of hers was. She smiled up at him. "Remember that the best mouths are warm and wet, so when you use yours, let her feel just how good your mouth is."
She leaned up on the tips of her toes, breasts sliding against his chest, and opened her mouth against his neck in precisely the same spot he'd kissed on her own. Her breath heated his skin before she pressed an open kiss against his throat, allowing her teeth to graze him in a suckling kiss that left his skin alive in the wake of the caress. She backed away and smiled. "Do you understand?"
Zerek nodded, breath heaving in and out of his chest. His body was on fire, as if flames licked along his skin, and he had to battle the mortification back as he realized the mistress had just caused the hair on his arms to stand at attention as easily as his father had done to hers. He put those feelings out of his head and focused on what he wanted to know. "I understand now. What next?"
His father and Katise shared another smile and she turned back to Zerek, dropping her robe. Jvon guided them to a sensual pallet covered in soft cushions and helped the mistress lay back against them. He knelt to one side, waving Zerek to the other. "The most important thing you can learn, the thing you were lacking before, is to be patient and watch for the signs. Women are not like us, who can be fully aroused with a mere thought."
He smirked and indicated the hard arousal that neither he nor his son could hide. Zerek tried not to wonder at his father's response. He'd never thought of his father with another woman, wasn't sure that he liked the idea, but perhaps there were other things his father would teach him later, things about marriages. For now he nodded, prompting his father to continue.
"Whereas men are like small tinder-fires, quick to catch and even quicker to burn out, women are like a fire after the rains have come. You have to work a little harder, take more care, but when they catch flame, they burn hot and true for a long time. Look for the signs that she's heating up, build that fire slowly…"
His father's fingers trailed down the valley of the mistress' breasts, down her body. The hot, red lips that had enveloped Zerek's fingers only moments before fell open on a sigh, and he watched in fascination as the nipples on her full breasts pebbled up, resembling the dark berries they gathered in the late summer. His mouth flooded with the thought and he swallowed. His father saw and tilted his head toward those berries, encouraging him forward. "Go ahead. See what happens."
Zerek glanced up at his mistress and she winked, further encouraging him. Her nipples were right little buds now, and his heart felt as if it would jump from his chest the longer he looked at them. Rocking forward onto his knees, he leaned over and placed a hand on either side of her slender body for balance. The breath he'd been unconsciously holding burst out of him the moment the flat of his tongue met her erect nipple, and as he gasped her smell hit him again, going straight to his groin. His mouth closed over her instinctively, but he jerked away as she moaned in response. Their eyes met and she smiled, licking those red, red lips. "Again. More."
It took a moment for him to realize she'd liked it. He tried again, this time suckling her and rubbing his tongue over the tight little bud of her nipple as she'd done to his finger. She bowed up against the cushions, pressing her breast into his face, fingers digging into his thigh. This time, when she moaned, he felt something inside of him swell with pride and he pulled away to glance up at his father in triumph. Jvon was smiling and nodded. "Yes. See what you have done to her… the signs are beginning to show up. Her eyes are becoming heavy but excited, her skin is flushed and shivering, her breasts crying out for attention. Best of all, see here…" His father stroked Mistress Katise between her thighs and held his hand up for Zerek to see, his fingers dewy in the light from the lamps. "She is growing wet for you. Feel."
Zerek placed his fingers just as his father had, and was amazed. He glanced up at Katise, overwhelmed, and she smiled down at him. This woman was beautiful, he realized. She was glowing in the soft light, her skin rosy and alive, her breasts and hips full and made for a man's hands, and then there was this. He shifted so he could really look at her. Her body was like nothing he'd ever seen before. The soft, wet folds cushioned his fingers like her lips had just moments ago, and he stroked her, completely enthralled with the sensation.
"Slide your fingers inside, son, just here." Jvon showed him the way, and as her tight channel sucked him in, Zerek remembered exactly how it had felt to bury himself deep inside Serea. That memory warred with the similarities he was realizing from only moments before. His mistress' hot mouth had felt remarkably just like this. He still hadn't kissed her, but he couldn't help but wonder just how similar a real kiss would be to the press of his lips where his fingers were now.
Almost as if his father was reading his mind, Jvon continued. "A woman's sex is a haven of pleasure. You don't have to bury your seed in her for the two of you two enjoy each other. Use your mouth and your hands for pleasure. Discover each other. When you're ready to bring her to completion, this is where you need to be."
He pointed out the specific points of her haven for Zerek, allowing his son to touch and stroke to elicit various responses from his mistress. Every new sigh or moan built in Zerek a stronger desire to pull another from her. When he could no longer stand it, he asked, "What about kisses? Do you only touch here, or can you use your mouth?"
Jvon stared at his son a long moment before a full smile overtook him. Then, a full bellied laugh. He was so amused he could not answer. Zerek at once thought he must have said something stupid, but a brush of his mistress' hand on his thigh brought his attention to her. Her eyes were still heavy and aroused, but she smiled, crooking a finger at him. He leaned over her and she pulled his head down into a kiss. Her tongue brushed his, tracing his lips, before she pressed her mouth fully to his, sucking on his lips, and encouraging him to do the same. When she broke away, there was a twinkle in her eye. "You may use your mouth anywhere you like, darling. Anywhere. There are no rules as long as you are both enjoying it."
Anywhere. He wanted to make her moan again. And she'd said anywhere. He scooted down her body, but his father had recovered enough to speak. "Whoa. Hold."
His father's eyes were still sparkling with mirth, but not censure."When I told Jole that you moved fast, I really hadn't considered how much of an understatement it was. You must get that from your mother." He winked, fighting to contain another chuckle. "As the mistress says, if it gives you both pleasure, do what you will. However, as much as it pains me to do this to you, my son, that is for another time. You still have some seasoning to do yet."
Katise groaned. "Really, Jvon?"
He turned to her, grinning. "While my son is apparently a natural, he is not yet a man, Mistress. He'll return when he's truly ready."
She sighed. "And you? Are you not a man?"
His father threw back his head and laughed. "Aye, I am. And I'm married to a beautiful but very mean woman. She will already be seething by the time I return. It's best if I don't give her further reason to castrate me before I've trained my other two sons."
"Two more sons, eh?" His mistress turned to Zerek and winked. "If they're anything like you, I don't believe I'll survive the lessons. You're welcome return anytime, darling, and I'll teach you anything you want to learn."
Zerek felt the offer settle low in his belly. He was respectful enough not to contradict his father's desire to leave, but what his father didn't know, wouldn't hurt him. Zerek would return soon. He had an education to complete.

Many Forms of Hearing Aid Accessories
While hearing aids are able to bring you a better quality of life, hearing aid accessories elevate your hearing aid experience to a new level. These accessories come in many forms, and can be tailored to fit your lifestyle. Your audiologist will work with you to determine which accessories will be most beneficial for you.
Hearing aid compatible telephones – there are numerous telephones on the market that are able to directly connect with your hearing aid. The phone conversation can be broadcast directly to your hearing aid, which helps to eliminate background noise. These phones are often equipped with talk to text options; a large screen will display (in real time) written captions of what the caller on the other end of the line is saying.
Media devices – these wireless devices are plugged into a sound source, such as a TV or stereo, and broadcast the sound directly to your hearing aid.
Remote controls – these pocket sized devices wirelessly connect to your hearing aid and enable you to change the settings without having to fiddle with the small buttons and dials on the hearing aid.
Assistive Listening Devices
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are used to improve your hearing in situations that make deciphering voices from background noise difficult. The key to an ALD is the telecoil (t-coil). The telecoil works as a wireless receiver inside your hearing aid.
If you are in a room that is properly equipped, such as a classroom, auditorium or even a courtroom, sound is picked up through microphones and is broadcast directly into your hearing aid through FM, infrared or induction loop transmissions. This direct connection eliminates background noise.
Depending on how the sound is transmitted, a receiver may need to be purchased. The receiver is simply worn around your neck and is able to convert the transmissions into signals that your hearing aid's telecoil can interpret.
Bluetooth Hearing Aid Accessories
Bluetooth enabled hearing aids allow you to wirelessly connect your hearing aid with any Bluetooth enabled device. Bluetooth devices are available in an ever-growing list, ranging from cellular phones to MP3 players to televisions.
Our audiologists will help you determine which accessories best fit your lifestyle.

From the Forums: Get McDonald's Out of the Rainforest!
Image Credit: adotjdotsmith via Flickr
gaiaisi has a bone to pick:
So few people know this, but of equal importance as a cause of global warming is deforestation. But while most people associate the chainsaws with paper demand, the leading cause of the disappearance of the Amazon (mostly by slashing and burning) is beef. McDonald's and other Fast Food Restaurants lead the way in purchasing low-grade beef from the rain forest, one quarter pounder of which is equivalent to 25 square feet of the most precious land on Earth destroyed.
What do you think? How do we get McDonald's out of the rainforest? Join the conversation.

Info & Plot
This European historical saga presents the true tale of intrigue, regicide, incest, and insanity on which Shakespeare based Hamlet. It begins in the ancient Danish kingdom of Jutland in the sixth century. There ambitious Prince Fenge (Gabriel Byrne) murders his brother the king and one of his sons, but masks it as the casualty of a highway robbery. The dark prince then claims both the throne and his former sister-in-law, queen Geruth (Helen Mirren). Her son Amled saw the killings, but feigns madness to spare his life. Amled then begins preparing his revenge. Fenge is not convinced of Amled's madness and arranges for a beautiful maid to seduce the truth out of him. That doesn't work so Fenge sends his nephew to visit the Scottish home of his friend Aethelwine (Brian Cox), who will receive orders to kill him. Amled learns of the plot and changes the orders, immediately winning Aethelwine's favor, winning a battle for the man, and marrying his daughter (Kate Beckinsale). Then the resourceful prince travels back to Jutland to deal with his uncle.

Money Truck
We use money in any kind of transaction. Those who have lots can buy almost anything that they want. It is the reason why business man wants to employ more people since they know that the harder these men work, the more money they would have. This is true in every company which means that this is not only applicable to the construction companies. As an enrage guy, you would want to work on one of those companies since you would be paid for your work at a high rate. Actually, that is the general thinking right now as everyone wants to work for a company. They are using their skills for the general god of the company. Of course, they're getting paid for their work, but their payment don't' really rise base on their work. It is accepted since most people don't' think of it that way. They would rather be a corporate slaves than work for themselves and become one of the pioneers that would soon employ some people. You know that working for yourself will make you rich someday and that is why, you bought our own truck. You would mine those rare metals form the mountain and would make lots of cash from them. In this game, the idea is to transport the cargo to the finish line in as fast as you can since you would make more cash from the bonus. If you are able to save lots of cash then you would be making more. Of course, that is aside from the money that you would make from delivering those rare metals. Transporting them won't be easy as the road is made of mountains, which means that it would be dangerous. You need to be careful while driving since you would not only lose the precious metal, but you might actually have an accident and destroy the truck itself.

If it's the latter, I can do that but how do you flash just the boot.img file? Thanks for any help!

This unprecedented H1N1-H5N1 flu outbreak implicates the Ango-American Vaccine Pipeline, says world leading consumer health protector, Dr. Leonard Horowitz.
Biden's Advice to Avoid Air Travel Borders on 'Fearmongering,' Airline Says
From: Fox News
Vice President Joe Biden, discussing the spread of swine flu, said Thursday morning that he would advise against traveling in an airplane or in any confined space — a comment that an airline spokesman said borders on "fearmongering."
"To suggest that people not fly at this stage of things is a broad brush stroke bordering on fearmongering," American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said. "The facts of the situation at this stage anyway certainly don't support that."
Roughly 250,000 passengers use American Airlines daily, and not a single one of them has tested positive for swine flu, Smith said.

Ted Gunderson [27-year FBI veteran, former Los Angeles Senior Special Agent in Charge]
"This is a national epidemic that's being covered up and hidden, because this element, this Satanic element has infiltrated all levels of our government, and that's the way they're able to do it: law enforcement, prosecutors, and so forth."

Your Number One or a Spare for the Suitcase?
A few years ago, I was off on my overseas adventure and I didn't think twice about using flat iron in Europe. I took out my trusty socket adaptor, plugged it into the wall and…NOTHING. Not only would it not work in Europe – it never worked again. I had fried it from the inside out!
I learnt a valuable lesson that day: electrical appliances made for the US are not always compatible with overseas plugs. And it's not just a matter of having a different outlet type. They actually run on different voltage.
So, now I know that if you ask me the question, "can i use my straightener in Europe?" The answer is ONLY if the hair straightener voltage is dual or universal.
Today I'd like to review the U9 Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener which is equipped with dual voltage and a few other HOT features to boot.
A Great Option for Travellers
First things first, "what is a dual voltage flat iron?" Basically, it's a flat iron that can be powered at the standard US 110v – 120v or the more common overseas voltage of 220v – 240v. We've got a few funny little quirks here in the US of A and one of them is that our standard electrical voltage is much lower than most of the rest of the world. If an appliance is not dual voltage, it will not work in overseas plugs. A socket adaptor only changes the size of the pins, not the actual voltage so you need to check carefully.
So, next time you're packing your luggage to head off overseas, ask yourself can I use my flat iron in Europe, NZ, Australia, Egypt or wherever it is you're heading off to and check that you've got dual or universal flat iron voltage. It'll save you the heartache of a fried flat iron and the headache of frizzy hair on holiday!
One thing I think is worth considering is owning a flat iron especially for when you're travelling. And that's where the U9 is such a great option! It costs less than $40 to buy one and at that price you wouldn't be too gutted if you left it in a hotel room or it got battered around in your luggage. If you've got a set of expensive professional irons they're pretty close to your heart and taking them travelling can be risky. This way you can have fabulous hair on vacation and salon style at home. Perfect!
The Heat is On
Okay, so you know that the U9 is fine for using overseas, but I haven't told you if it's actually a good hair straightener. In my opinion, the u9 pro tourmaline ceramic is a pretty good option for the price (it's by no means professional but you won't be disappointed if you don't have unrealistic expectations. It features floating plates for faster, snag free straightening, narrow 1 inch place and a slimline, rounded body which makes it good for curling as well as straightening.
There's an ongoing debate about is ceramic or titanium flat iron better and the answer to that really depends on your hair-type, styling needs and budget. This one has ceramic plates coated in tourmaline which can heat up almost instantly, give you reliable and consistent heat and are much cheaper to purchase than their titanium competitors.
…And Off (when you've forgotten!)
There's no point in having beautifully flat ironed hair if it resulted in you burning your house (or hotel room!) down! Luckily this iron has a neat little feature for those of us who are a bit forgetful with the off switch. The auto shut off feature means that the iron automatically turns itself off after 30 minutes without being used. That could be a lifesaver!
The Customer is Always Right
The flat iron ratings for this model on Amazon are actually really good. It has an overall consumer rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars after more than 100 reviews and 75% of buyers gave it the full 5 stars. If you think this might be the flat iron for you, why not head over to Amazon and see what customers say about it in the hair straighteners reviews?
My Verdict: Some Great Features for the Price
This straighener gets 4 out of 5 stars from me. I know that it's not the hottest model on the market but the universal voltage, the auto shut-off function and the effective heat settings do make it a very attractive buy. Also, you can pick it up for just a little more than the Remington hair straightener price which is fantastic considering its features.
I think I'd consider buying it as a spare iron to take travelling with me rather than having it as my go-to iron for everyday styling. Remember, if you're planning on using hair straightener in europe, you have to make sure it's dual voltage!
If you're a jetsetter and want to the U9 to be your new travelling companion, skip over here to check it out.
If you're not sure that this model is your new best friend, why not scroll the sidebar and read a couple more of my hair straighteners reviews?

"We are very excited to introduce this new camera line, running faster than any other USB 3.0 or GigE ICX674 camera on the market today," stated Dany Longval, VP of Worldwide Sales, Lumenera Corporation
Ottawa, Ontario (PRWEB) December 20, 2013
Lumenera Corporation, a leading manufacturer and developer of high-performance digital cameras and custom imaging solutions for industrial, scientific, surveillance and astronomy markets, today released its new high performance USB 3.0 cameras based on Sony's EXview HAD II ICX674 sensor, running twice the speed of other USB 3.0 cameras on this sensor at 53 frames per second (fps) at full 1936 x 1456 resolution.
Running 53 fps at full resolution or 66 at an HDTV resolution of 1920 x 1088, the Lt365R series takes advantage of Lumenera's unique memory buffer technology so frames are not lost while running the camera at the sensor's maximum output. Running at twice the speed of other USB 3.0 cameras on this image sensor, the Lt365R is ideal for industrial and scientific applications requiring incredibly fast data and reliable image delivery including traffic, tolling, life sciences, slide scanning, high-speed inspection and machine vision.
The Lt365R family boasts a 2.8 megapixel progressive scan sensor equipped with a global shutter for capturing high-speed images without blur. The Sony ICX674 used in this camera delivers an amazing level of performance combining speed, sensitivity and low noise, leveraging leading edge technologies from Sony. Lumenera's "R" designation identifies that these products has been engineered to fulfill the demands of many research applications by significantly reducing the read and dark current noise. This combination provides imaging in difficult lighting situations, or even into the NIR range.
Its compact, lightweight yet robust design, measuring 43 x 43 x 65 mm, and 4 mounting points on all 4 sides, ensure easy integration into Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) solutions with tight spaces. The fully locking USB 3.0 cabling and digital interface provide a simple plug-and-play installation. A costly framegrabber is not required. Simplified I/O cabling is provided through a locking Hirose connector supporting external power input along with 1 optically isolated output, 1 optically isolated input and 2 configurable I/O ports.
"We are very excited to introduce this new camera line, running faster than any other USB 3.0 or GigE ICX674 camera on the market today. This camera is one of the few that fully delivers on the performance capabilities of the Sony ICX674 and the only one to do so on USB 3.0," stated Dany Longval, VP of Worldwide Sales, Lumenera Corporation. "Our specialized technology ensures frames are delivered via a memory buffer, but without hindering the speed capabilities of the sensor as is found in other solutions. Another engineering coup for Lumenera."
The Lt365R, available in color and monochrome, are now available and shipping. For additional information on this product line or any of Lumenera's USB 2.0, USB 3.0 GigE, Ethernet and HDMI solutions, visit http://www.lumenera.com.

A higher level at our next WAG competition
Redland City Gymsports Inc., Sat Jul 23, 2016 5:54PM
After our WAG girls did so well at the YMCA invitational recently, they and their coach opted to have them try to move up a level. After only 6 weeks of training to learn four new routines, new music and new skills, the five of them competed at the Splitz competition today. They all qualified for the new level and even managed to bring home a medal - their decision to move up may have been a bold one but it was the right one. All girls, their parents and their coach left with smiles and enthusiasm for their next competition.

Our 12 Questions community profiler gives Adam Kiff the once over this week but leaves you to draw your own conclusions about this recent Oregon State graduate. Adam comes to us from Corvallis, where he accrued some specialty-running shop experience at Five Star Sports. There are literally no anagrams for his name.
Interview by Alex Mangan
Alex Mangan In what city and state were you born?
Adam Kiff I was born in Davis, California. My family moved up to McMinnville when I was 10, so I consider myself to be raised in Oregon.
AM What high school did you attend? What was the mascot?
AK I attended McMinnville High School, home of the Grizzlies.
AM As a Linfield grad all I can say is, "Go Grizzlies!"
AM What is your most embarrassing athletic moment?
AK That would have to be the countless times that I pegged my tennis doubles partner in the back of the head while serving. He has suffered no permanent damage. Sorry again, Will.
AM As a fellow former doubles player, I can attest to the risks involved. All I can say is "Go Grizzlies!"
AM What is your favorite restaurant in the Portland area?
AK At this time, I am still fairly new to the Portland area, so I haven't tried too many different restaurants yet. That being said, Verde Cocina in Hillsdale is my favorite thus far. They consider themselves a farm-to-fork cafe with a Mexican flair. The fact that they support local farms and make wholesome food is enough to be on my list, but it's a bonus that the food is delicious.
AM What is your current training shoe?
AK I am currently using the Brooks Adrenaline GTS, though I have a pair of Hoka Constants that I throw into the mix from time to time. I love trail-running in the Nike Wildhorse; that spacious toebox is perfect for surfing trails.
AM Huh, those are all pretty weird ways to spell the Asics Gel Kayano 24, the pinnacle of footwear.
AM What is the most recent book you've read?
AK The most recent book I completed was For Whom the Bell Tolls. Right now, I'm in the middle of The Boys in the Boat about the 1936 U.S. Olympic rowing team.
AM What is your biggest pet-peeve?
AK My biggest pet peeve would have to be the fact that most people today view the world through a screen. As a user of social media, I don't condemn it entirely. However, I think that people should spend more time unplugged, disconnected, and not in constant stimulation via electronics. Look up, look outside, and enjoy your Fourth of July fireworks or son's birthday or John Mayer concert with your own eyes instead of through your phone, I say. Plus, it can do wonders for your posture.
AM Dogs or cats?
AK Love them both, but if I had to choose, dogs.
AM Any special skills you would like to share?
AK I learned how to juggle a couple summers ago; pretty proud of that! Beyond that, I am a self-taught guitarist and am working on learning the cello. Music has always been a big part of my life, since learning to play piano in the second grade, so I'm always looking to try new instruments.
AM Seems like you are primed to become America's next top joggler.
AM When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?
AK I always wanted to be a nature photographer, though I still enjoy it as a hobby. Instagram is my fix.
AM There's that pesky screen again.
AM You've just won an all expense paid trip to anywhere in the world, where do you go?
AK Iceland and Scandinavia, for sure! Boating and photographing the fjords is on my bucket list.
AM What is the best advice you have ever received?
AK I have a couple instances in mind, the first of which is a joke my grandfather told me: The secret to make a million dollars in farming is starting out with two million. The other piece of advice that has always stuck with me was given by the McMinnville High School varsity soccer coach at the end of our tryout week at the beginning of my freshman year. Based on how the week had gone (including suffering an injury that benched me for a couple days) I was sure that I would be cut from both varsity and JV teams. At the end of the last day, he sat everyone down and told us that no matter the outcome of the week, no matter whose name ends up on the roster, the sun would still rise in the morning. I later found out that I made the JV team.
AM So, don't go into farming. Got it.

Meade basketball coach Butch Young returned to the bench last night after missing the previous three games because of illness.
His team's performance at Broadneck didn't do much for his nerves, but the ending was worth the aggravation.
No. 18 Meade trailed for most of the second half before rallying behind center Andre McNeil to defeat the 14th-ranked Bruins, 64-61, in Cape St. Claire.
McNeil scored 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, including a layup off a pass from Derek Barrett in the last 20 seconds that accounted for the final margin.

Have some moss and plants for them to forge on. It also controls the nitrate and ammonia level. Try your best not to use Anubias or Crypt plants, but if you have them just please try your best not to trim the plants (leaves and stems) inside the shrimp tank. Especially never cut the rhizome of the Anubias plant and plant it back right away in your shrimp tank. Freshly cut rhizome/roots/stems/leaves from Anubias and Crypt. Plants (especially Anubias) leak a toxic substance to your tank. If the shrimps forge on it, they tend to die within several days. Or if you observe your shrimps swimming like crazy in your tank after you trim the rhizome of the Anubias plants, then you know you will have to take out the Anubias plant and carry out 80% water change right away. However, if you have great filtration/circulation in your tank, then it "should" not be a problem depending on the size of your aquarium but I will still recommend to carry out a water change just to be on the safe side. Do not use fertilizer if it contains copper for it is toxic to shrimps in general if the shrimps are housed in an aquarium already. If you still want to use fertilizer, then I would recommend just using Seachem Flourish and cutting the doses stated in the bottle by half or more, depending on how much plants you have and the growth rate of the plants themselves. Java moss, peacock moss, string moss, Christmas moss, Fissiden sp. moss, or any other moss would work. If you have driftwoods or stones, tie your moss onto it using threads or very thin fishing line. Over time, your moss will grow very nicely (forming shapes) and your shrimps will have other grazing areas including areas for them to hide as well.
Ammonia has to be absolute zero, and nitrate has to be at a minimum. These shrimps love clean water so 30% to 50% water changes weekly is highly recommended.
CRS/Black Bee shrimps and Tiger shrimp cannot be housed together because they will interbreed and their interbred hybrid offsprings will look nothing like their parents but tend to resemble their "Tiger" parental shrimps. Because of that you will not get anymore pure CRS species which means all of the money you have spent on high grade CRS will go down the drain.

Arlington Bowie
District 4-6A
Last season: 6-5 (5-2 District 4-6A)
Key players: QB Donoven Davenport (6-3, 205); RB Branden Ellis (5-8, 160); WR Kobe Daniels (5-9, 155); WR Braydon Johnson (6-1, 185); WR Ty DeArman (6-0, 180); RB/WR Cam'ron Gardner (5-9, 165); RB/WR Keion Griffin (5-9, 175); DT Livingston Paogofie (6-2, 245); DE Mekhi Shelley (6-1, 210); LB Kylan Jones (6-1, 220); CB Coi Miller (6-1, 185); S De'Mond Sellers (6-2, 185)
The big picture: Bowie rode a strong rushing attack into the playoffs last season. The Volunteers don't expect one player to match former running back DeAndre Cook's production (2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns). Instead, the Vols will lean on improved quarterback Donoven Davenport (1,500 yards passing, nearly 500 rushing and 18 total TDs in 2015) and a large — and fast — supporting cast at receiver and running back. "I've got so many kids who can make a difference in a game," Bowie coach Danny DeArman said. "There's so many guys who can take a handoff or pass and go 50 or 60 yards." Junior RB Branden Ellis is one of those big-play threats. As a sophomore he got the lion's share of the carries, but Bowie also plans to hand it to versatile RBs/slot receivers Cam'ron Gardener and Keion Griffin. And Davenport has a trio of blazing fast wideouts to target downfield in Kobe Daniels, Braydon Johnson and Ty DeArman. "I'm feeling more comfortable, more chemistry with the players," said Davenport, a senior. "It should be good this year." Bowie's deep defensive front, led by senior defensive tackle Livingston Paogofie and senior linebacker Kylan Jones, is capable of slowing down the formidable rushing attacks Bowie will face in District 4-6A. "I'm not concerned about our defense going up against any type of offense," Jones said.
Quotable: "I'm excited about their potential. But they are the ones that have to show up on Friday nights and get it done." — Coach Danny DeArman
"Speed is going to be our main factor. I don't think there's going to be a team in our district that can run with us." — QB Donoven Davenport
"I feel like Bowie this year is the underdog, and we use that for motivation." — DT Livingston Paogofie
Notable: Wide receivers Kobe Daniels and Braydon Johnson are also track standouts and reigning state champions in the 4x400 relay, with a winning time of 3:14.03.

Real Weddings: Lauren + Jeremy Griffey
Lauren and Jeremy threw a warm, regal, and elegant celebration at Omni Nashville Hotel.
Written By: Nashville Lifestyles

West End Church of Christ; Omni Nashville Hotel
November 15, 2014
Lauren and Jeremy were friends long before they started dating. "Jeremy was slick! I had no clue that we actually went on 'dates' for several weeks," Lauren laughs. "In the end, that was best, because he was truly my friend first."
The couple wanted a warm, regal, and elegant celebration, which they accomplished with a color scheme of eggplant, magenta, and gold. "Our vision for the wedding was an evening surrounded by the ones we loved and an experience that we felt represented who we were as individuals and a couple," the bride explains.
A number of personal touches made the couple's big day even more memorable: a charm on Lauren's bouquet was inscribed with her late mother's handwriting while Jeremy's groom's cake resembled an Xbox One (a tribute to his proposal). Plus, the newlyweds had a flipbook photo station to catch quirky, candid snapshots throughout the night.
"Remember that the day is important because it marks a significant commitment in your life. Plan well and enjoy your day, but know that the best part starts after all the pomp and circumstance ends."

VR helps develop a blended learning environment. It helps explain the theory in a better way by simulating complicated concepts in a simple manner, for instance, chemical reactions, surgical training, simulated space walks, corporate training etc. With VR showing a potential to become a multi billion dollar industry over the next decade, universities across the globe have incorporated online and on-campus diploma and postgraduate courses in Virtual Reality within the content and design parts. Some of these include University of North Hampton in UK, University Utara Malaysia, Queensland University of Technology in Australia, Stanford University in America etc.
Eg. Google For Education's initiative, Expeditions, has just shown the huge potentialeducation sector has for VR. Guided tours with teachers enable students to visit places thatthey have only studied about in textbooks. Whether its visiting the forests of Amazon or desserts of the Sahara; visiting the Egyptian mummies or the thsonian museum; virtualtour of space or a walk on the surface of Mars, all of this is now a possibility. The biggest advantage of this is tat all of it is in a controlled environment where everyone can still engage and interact with each other and their surroundings. Trying to choose a college and need to have a look at the campus? All you need to do is find a comfortable position on the couch and snap on the head gear. Tune into the college you seek and let the touring begin!
