The Best Tankmates For A Red Tail Shark
Red Tail Sharks do best in large aquariums with fast moving (but not overly aggressive fish). It is often recommended that a Red Tail Shark can work well in a cichlid tank, but experience and a bunch of ripped fins have taught me that this is not the case – at least not if the cichlids are the flashy, brightly colored African variety. South American cichlids seem to be more laid back, or at least, less likely to view the Red Tailed Shark as something to be devoured.
When considering tankmates, one also needs to consider tanks. The twenty gallon recommended minimum isn't a minumim because this fish gets particularly large (15 centimeters is about the max) but because smaller confines make it too aggressively territorial. My red tail, forced to share a ten gallon tank with a Jewel cichlid (because they had both been victims of terrible bullying in the main tank) promptly went after the Jewel with vicious attacks that would make its namesake proud.
Although Red Tail Sharks feed largely on vegetable type matter and have mouth parts more suited to rasping than tearing off chunks, those mouth parts can do plenty of damage when applied to the scales of another fish. At the end of the day it became necessary to separate the Jewel and the Red Tail Shark. The tank was simply too small for the both of them. Let this be a cautionary tale if you are considering introducing a Red Tail Shark into a tank smaller than 20 gallons.
Aggression is a common problem in fish keeping, more common than you might imagine. In my experience, keeping fish is 50% chemistry, 50% aggression management. If you get the water conditions right, that's only half the battle won, you also need to ensure that your tank is stocked with fish that do well together.
The desire to keep 'community tanks' with fish of various species originating from different areas in the world causes a great deal of trouble, though it can work on occasion. For instance, I keep a Jack Dempsey (a South American cichlid) with several Dog Tooth Afras and other related African Cichlids from Lake Malawi. The Jack Dempsey does fine because he is by far the biggest thing in the tank and more than able to defend himself, but the Jewel cichlid (also a South American cichlid) fell prey to bullying very quickly and had to be removed, as did the Red Tail Shark (which originates in Thailand.)
Prior to the introduction of African Cichlids, the Red Tail Shark, Jewel Cichlid and Jack Dempsey had all gotten on very well. So, as you can see, I was a fool to upset the balance with the Africans. You live and you learn. Either keep your Red Tail Shark in a large aquarium with larger (preferably South American) cichlids, or keep them alone.

The Tarzana Bail Bond Process
Right after an arrest, people fighting charges must stay behind bars unless they "get bailed out," or pay the total amount ordered by the court. In lieu of hanging around in a jail cell for days or weeks until trial, a bail bond makes it possible for the accused to be freed from jail until the next court hearing. Bail bonds guarantee that the person will appear on the next scheduled court date in exchange for being discharged from police custody. The majority of people depend on licensed bail providers to deal with the jail or detention facility and speed up release. The responsibilities of bail bond agents include:
- Finding the accused
- Organizing full payment
- Disclosing up-front costs
- Guaranteeing court appearance
- Describing bond arrangement
- Locating fugitive with warrant
- Preparing Nebbia requirements
- Collecting non-refundable service fee (premium).
- 10% of state bond amount in California.
- roughly 15% of federal bond amount.
- 20% in some immigration cases.
- Safely keeping collateral in trust.
- Used to recover cost if can not find fugitive.
- Can be anything of value to ensure full payment.
- Returned in full once case completed.
- Can be property, car, bank account, or co-signor's assets.
Some cases need a "Nebbia proffer," which is devised to prove that the expense and security are coming from legit sources, not unlawful activity. Bail bond agents evaluate financial assets and show the origin of the funds through documentary evidence. A Nebbia hearing may be required if the prosecutor does not accept the proffer. Bail bondsmen are the only means of ensuring that the source of payment remains confidential. Because taking care of several courts, jails, and officials can get complicated, bond agencies must be well-versed in all aspects of the process.

Staveley Miners Welfare and Worksop Town went toe to toe for 90 minutes on Wednesday night, before Tigers celebrated a hard fought 1-0 win.
The Derbyshire outfit were previously unbeaten in 12 games, but had suffered a league defeat to Worksop already this season.
Inkersall Road, where Staveley ousted Worksop from the FA Cup in August, provided the battle ground and the wind and rain provided a dramatic backdrop.
At times the wind swirled around the ground, making life difficult for everyone in attendance – not just the 22 men on the field.
But it was the players who put on an impressive show despite the weather, with an entertaining and relatively even first half and a brutal 45 minute war after the break.
The game was decided in the 31st minute when Worksop's Connor Higginson got to the byline and hammered the ball across goal, where the unfortunate Brad Jones could only direct it into his own net.

My camp would be: Please do not impede our way to > produce stable releases in any ways, do whatever you want with rolling. I'm sorry but I find that a lame request. If, in whatever circumstances, Debian as a project decides to care about something beyond stable releases, for instance something called rolling, it will as a matter of fact use power of the project for such new thing and thus distract that power from stable releases. Always. Saying that anyone can do anything as long as it never interferes with what we have now is exactly the definition of keeping the status-quo, i.e. preventing improvement. Granted, it also prevents breakage. > I've suggested integrating aptosid (or $derivative) people inside of > Debian as a way to provide rolling, I know that Joss did so on planet > too e.g. That has two very important advantages: > * it brings in new blood *now* (and not an hypothetical later) to > actually take care of rolling (which doesn't make all my reservation > moot but I reckon does lessen their scope significantly); > * it brings people who know how to do that and already have > infrastructure to do so.

Have you asked *any* contributor of *any* project about why they didn't put their efforts in Debian but instead into a different project? aptosid for example claims that unstable is in fact usable by people not too technically equiped. Debian (usually) claims, it isn't. They think, it just needs a bit of fixing every now and then and there you go with a fine rolling release. If we, however we could achieve it, integrated aptosid in Debian, how would that be different to adding a rolling release suite? My actual point being, whether we contact developers of derivatives first and then add rolling (or whatever it's going to be called), or add such thing and then promote it to developers outside Debian hoping for their interest and involvement isn't at all important while we're still discussing if Debian wants to take care of something beyond stable releases.

Joining recreational activities with your pet is one of the most enjoyable and fun things that you can do as an individual who owns a pet. The activity entails going out and having fun with either your dog or cat or any other animals that you might have. Some people own a horse or any other smaller reptiles.
As cliché as it may sound, the pet owner and pet that plays together, surely, stays together. When the pet enjoys your company as a pet owner, you will be able to strengthen your trust bond for each other. It evens strengthen the longing of the presence of the other, each and every day.
A lot of individuals pamper their pets, appreciate them and discipline them at the same time for them to behave in a manner where they appear calm and tamed. They consider them as their own children and it comes with no surprise as the relationship to each other flourishes and we become attached to each other. And if something very bad happens to them, for example, death, we feel like we have lost a very important of the family and it causes us to be sad.
If your pet has a condition which does not allow him to walk, pet strollers are for you. And if you fancy being in a bicycle and your pet happens to be small, you can put your pet on a pet bicycle basket. But before anything else, you must ensure the safety of your pet first no matter what recreational activities you will include yourself in.
Your canine friend is also the perfect partner for running. He does not complain and he is always on time. They even keep up with your speed and they are easily made happy just by putting on your running kicks. Moreover, a dog should exercise regularly to maintain optimum health to combat different sickness caused bacteria and other stuff.
Exercises make a dog healthy, and of course, happy. However, it's essential to ensure that your pet is in great shape when you hit the road. Before you proceed with the regular exercises, take your pet for a check-up with his regular veterinarian. Once the doggie doctor approves it, you can start conditioning your pet for some running exercises. You can start with short jogs and daily walks, then you can increase the pace and distance for him to become more conditioned.
You have to remember that, it is also important to teach obedience commands before you bring your dog outside for running. "STOP" is a command that is very helpful to have control over your pet. Don't let your guard down, so you must keep your dog on a leash so that you will be able to ensure the safety and security of the pet and for yourself. Make sure the leash is reflective enough to be noticed by cars and other hazards on the road.
Once you start running with your pet, the both of you should keep hydrated. So pack enough water for the both of you. Other dogs easily scorch with heat especially when they are exceptionally fluffy so please notice your dog once in a while. Thick saliva and bright red gums are signs of exhaustion in heat. Give a day off for your dog; their muscles also get sore from running every day.
Our goal is to inform you with different fun facts about your pets. We inform people because our website is well optimized for lead generation.

Back in the 1990s, I read a book called After
Looking back on it, the authors' suggestion that LGBT equality needed a massive PR campaign has come to pass. Marriage equality has its own TV spots now.
Not bad, not bad. I agree with E.J. Graff — whose fantastic book What Is Marriage For?: The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution, which I've read and referenced more times than I can count, I highly recommend — that it needs another where the principle character is a woman.
I'd probably also suggest another version or two where the principle characters are non-white, because marriage equality is not just for white folks. It shouldn't just have a white face, when the face of marriage equality is also black, brown, yellow, red, etc.
A new documentary looks at the black-gay civil rights divide by centering on Massachusetts Rep. Byron Rushing (D) during the commonwealth's push to legalize same-sex marriage. The African American legislator eloquently weaves the two movements together in the 15-minute film. Following a screening of the movie last month, I moderated a panel discussion at Aaron Davis Hall in New York City that looked at the marriage equality push in New York state from a black perspective. The panel was filled with luminaries, including media and fashion mogul Russell Simmons. But the star of the event was a soft-spoken man named David Wilson.
In the film, Wilson tells the heartbreaking story about the death of his then-partner. The trauma of finding him lying in the driveway. The terror of being arrested by the police on suspicion of breaking and entering or assault and battery before neighbors convinced police otherwise. The indignity of being denied information by the hospital because he was a legal stranger to his partner. Only after his partner's 75-year-old mother told the hospital who Wilson was did they inform him that his partner of 13 years was dead on arrival.
Wilson swore he'd never go through that again. And he would find love again. In 2003, he and Rob Compton became one of the seven same-sex couples to sue for and win the right to marry in the 2003 landmarkGoodridge vs. the Department of Health case.
It wasn't until the panel discussion that the power of Davis's example was fully displayed. As he said in his moving opening statement, which I run in full below, this gracious, soft-spoken man wanted "to put a black face on the Marriage Equality movement."
As I've written before, marriage matters to us, too.
Anti-gay marriage amendments and ballot initiatives like Proposition 8 only harm Black gay and lesbian famlies, many of whom are already economically disadvantaged. Cannick may think marriage equality is "secondary" to other issues, or can wait until others are addressed. But that also means that thousands of our families will continue to suffer injustice, economic and otherwise, indefinitely and without remedy.
For them, inequality is a daily burden added to the rest: making ends meet, putting food on the table, keeping a roof over their heads, and simply providing for their families.
For many of our families, equality is not a "luxury," as Cannick calls it. It is justice.
Marriage isn't the only solution to these problems, by any means, and it for many it may not be the right solution. It shouldn't be our only focus or strategy, but neither should marriage be rejected out of hand for everyone.
There are many paths to justice. We each chose ours for different, often deeply personal reasons. Sometimes they weave together in places where we need help and can help one another to keep going. They part, but inevitably cross again. We will meet each other many times on our winding paths to justice. We will need each other again. Let's not put roadblocks in front of one another.
I won't ask Cannick to change her priorities. I wish she wouldn't decide for my family, and other Black gay families, what our priorities are or should be.
But, it's an effective TV spot.

Early coordination with partner agencies, especially resource agencies, is a key to linking planning and NEPA. Allowing resource agencies to have early input into the development of corridor strategies creates a "scoping opportunity" to identify agency concerns and major resource issues that could result in fatal flaws in environmental impact analysis.
Resource agencies may not be able to make decisions or sign off on products during corridor planning as the level of detailed analysis may not be sufficient. However, their input can help reduce the likelihood of unforeseen resource issues delaying project development, and can result in more environmentally sensitive projects.
Suggestions for implementing this coordination include:
The geographic boundaries of the study area will affect which resource agencies need to be involved.
Through the Community and Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process (CETAP),the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) identified four corridors for highway and transit improvements and set up a partnership to allow a close working relationship with state and Federal resource agencies. This partnership enabled the agencies to work together to narrow the list of possible corridor alternatives. Procedural changes were encouraged during the transportation planning process for faster review of materials. The agency developed a Multispecies Habitat Conservation Plan to help identify and screen resource issues in the affected corridors.
SR 79 Realignment Project At the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the 1994 NEPA/404 MOU provided a venue for regulatory agencies along with representatives from the local transportation commissions and municipalities to coordinate early in the project planning process. The NEPA 404/MOU is an agreement between Caltrans and several Federal agencies designed to foster agreement on NEPA review among the signatory agencies. Through the application of this process in the SR 79 Realignment Project, an environmentally harmful project alternative alignment was identified early and removed from consideration. A key factor in allowing the identification of resource issues was the availability of clear maps showing how project alternatives overlay with sensitive resources.
Caltrans Preliminary Environmental Analysis Reporting Process The Caltrans Preliminary Environmental Analysis Report (PEAR) process allows project sponsors to provides the initial environmental evaluation of a project and alternatives and is done systematically to get resource and environmental regulatory agencies involved with the process. A PEAR documents the issues likely to arise during the NEPA or CEQA stage; but it is not the appropriate vehicle for conducting and reporting detailed environmental analyses.
Central Orange County Corridor Major Investment Study The Central Orange County Major Investment Study includes a Technical Working Group with representatives from and other stakeholder agencies such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Orange County Flood Control District and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). These agencies have not been able to provide decisions or sign-off during the planning phase, but are helping to identify major resource issues / fatal flaws in selecting corridor strategies.
The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) provides an example at the regional level in California of early coordination with agencies in linking planning and NEPA. SACOG engages resource agencies to identify sensitive environmental areas during the development of the regional transportation plan.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) effort involved development of a process for early and continuous resource agency input into FDOT environmental review, decision-making, and permitting process to make project delivery more efficient and less costly. The Agency Agreements page displays a list of Master Agreements and Funding Agreements, which have been executed by the FDOT and state and federal agencies participating in the ETDM Process.
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT)'s Collaborative Environmental and Transportation Agreement for Streamlining (CETAS), established a formal working committee with representatives from ODOT and 10 Federal and state transportation, natural resource, cultural resource, and land use planning agencies. The goal of the CETAS group is to identify and implement collaborative opportunities to help each participating agency realize its mission through sound environmental stewardship, while providing for a safe and efficient transportation system. CETAS focuses on communication, participation, and early involvement in Environmental Assessments (EA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) for ODOT. As a result of CETAS, ODOT has added resource agency data, such as land use, to its existing transportation system geospatial data which helps ODOT avoid and minimize environmental impacts and delay during project planning and design.
The Parker Road Corridor Study is a pilot project in Denver, Colorado in which CDOT worked closely with resource agencies to identify potential environmental impacts from the Parker Road corridor. This study demonstrated the value of using a team approach to corridor planning, consisting of meeting face-to-face with resource agencies and developing a strong working relationship. The open dialogue led to management-level support by agencies and an eventual signing of a planning and environmental linkages (PEL) partnering agreement. The partnering agreement is a statewide agreement of 15 signatory agencies committed to the principles of PEL.
The Regional Outer Loop Corridor Feasibility Study is an evaluation of an outer loop network of transportation routes around the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) led the stakeholder outreach and engaged resource agency partners through the Transportation Resource Agency Consultation Environmental Streamlining (TRACES) initiative, a regional effort to improve communication and consultation with environmental resource agencies to the transportation planning process. NCTCOG also collaborated with resource agencies for their expertise and technical tools.
The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) engaged with resource agencies in the Libby North Corridor Study to discuss possible improvement options. These discussions were documented and recommendations noted. By working with its partners, MDT identified improvements that met public safety and environmental goals. MDT obtained information from the public and resource agencies prior to initiating formal environmental review.

I did that one time and my therapist said thank you but please do not do it again as long as he was my therapist. Could of been just him.
I would keep the gift impersonal and not real expensive.
Not much help, sorry
Kitt, Co-Moderator: Anxiety/Panic & Depression& GERD Forums*~*
I would leave it at a nice card with genuine sentiment. thats what i would personally do i guess. simple, but thoughtful.
Maz XX
Good Idea Maz. They have such beautiful cards. I think you could personally thank her for helping you as words spoken sometimes mean so much.
Just write a short note from your heart, letting you know you have made progress and how much working with her has helped you. That will give her joy to know her time with you has been successful and let her know your respect her.
You will do a great job with this

Recipe: Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo
This time of year, it feels like it's our duty to squeeze winter squash into every corner of our diet, whether it's on pizza or salad, or even in dessert. Here's the best way to get your fill of squash with your pasta: Turn it into a decadent sauce, rich with cream and kissed with nutmeg.
May I introduce you to butternut squash Alfredo?
Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo: Watch the Video
A Seasonal Twist on Fettuccine Alfredo
Rich and creamy fettuccine Alfredo is a fan favorite for good reason, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't play with the classic a bit. Here roasted butternut squash is puréed with cream and Parmesan cheese to create a velvety Alfredo sauce that coats every inch of the al dente pasta.
The squash, along with the garlic that's roasted alongside it, lends a nutty, earthy quality to the sauce that gives it the depth that's often lacking in the classic. It's finished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley before serving, which adds just a touch of freshness to the bowl of comfort. This is one pasta you'll most definitely find yourself craving all season long.
Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 6
Prep time: 10 minutes to 15 minutes ; cooking time: 45 minutes to 50 minutes
3 cups
(1-inch) cubed butternut squash (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 cloves
garlic, smashed
1 1/2 tablespoons
olive oil
1 teaspoon
kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup
heavy cream
1/2 cup
low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 pound
dry fettuccine
2 tablespoons
finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F.
Toss the cubed squash with the garlic and olive oil in a large bowl and season with ½ teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a rimmed baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Roast until tender and caramelized, about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Remove the squash from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer the squash and garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the remaining salt, cream, broth, cheese, and nutmeg, and process continuously until smooth, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot.
Add the Alfredo sauce and toss with the pasta over low heat. If needed, add some of the reserved pasta water, tablespoon by tablespoon, to loosen the pasta and evenly coat it with the sauce. Sprinkle with the parsley and more Parmesan and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The Wygant trail -- six miles west of Hood River -- was a gift to Oregon honoring the memory of the Wygant family. This park adjoins two other state parks near Mitchell Point 5 miles west of Hood River on Interstate 84. A trail strikes through the park in a dense, hilly wilderness area that was once the old Oregon Trail and later the Historic Columbia River Highway. The first mile of this trail is on pavement that hasn't had an automobile on it for 50 years (it still has the yellow divider stripe). As it moves into the wilderness, Wygant trail penetrates a dense forest hillside along a gurgling creek. It is an ideal spot for backpackers who are looking for a little solitude.
great area! lots of options, pretty muddy so wear good rain/mud shoes
So good!
It's not a well marked trail but the views were top notch. Although I'm from the Midwest and any elevation is appreciated. Bring a map and some determination and you'll be fine.
Its pretty good trail for beginners and for intermediate rides. Some put hill and some downhill. Perfect for first timers.
I agree with the reviews below, there are much better trails. We lost the trail after the power lines, messed around for awhile, headed back completely infested with ticks! At very least it's a good trail to take annoying relatives on ;-).
Great for everybody
Tried to do this hike but the trail was in very poor condition. Like Denis M. mentioned the first mile was ok but after that we had a difficult time even locating the trail. Skip this and head up to Mitchell Point, amazing view! Note-tons of poison oak and the dog picked up ticks
first mile of the trail is in good condition. The rest of it is going over fallen trees and the bridge has not been repaired yet so you have to find a way to cross. After the power lines, the trail completely disappears and after making our own trail for about a half a mile, we decided to turn back before we became a newspaper article! It was a beautiful hike nonetheless.
The trail wasn't very nice even before a massive windstorm made it impassible. Large stretches were right above I-84 and poison oak was thick. After the windstorm the trail is said to be impassible but I haven't been up there myself to find out for sure.

Go back to normal view
We believe that chruch isn't just for Sundays so we offer a range of activities through the week
Home groups have been always been an integral part of life at ACBC and are open to all for fellowship, pastoral care, teaching and spiritual growth. At present, there are three groups which meet on different days and times of the week - one each in a morning, afternoon and evening. Each has around 5-9 members so you're not overwhelmed. Our programme is often themed to link with our Sunday topics. We may look at a particular topic for a few weeks, then study a portion of a book of the Bible. We dedicate some weeks to prayer, but will always include time for prayer in each meeting. We meet in Ashford, Sunbury and Stanwell.
This is an opportunity for personal reflection and individual prayer in the church building of Ashford Common Methodist Church. All are welcome and either our own Pastor or the Methodist Pastor will be present if you would to talk something over before you pray.
Our desire is to lead people to living faith in Jesus Christ in today's world. Mission is a fundamental guiding principle of our church life. Each church member is encouraged to reach out individually to their contacts, as well as through church based events.
Social Life
We arrange a variety of social activities to which all those associated with the church are welcome. The majority of our events are open to all.

Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 2013
First Call for Papers
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 2013
Murcia, Spain, May 29 - June 1, 2013
The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in MEdicine (AIME), was established in 1986 with two main goals:
- to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and
- to provide a forum for reporting significant results achieved at biennial conferences.
A major activity of this society has been a series of international conferences, from Marseille, France, in 1987 to Bled, Slovenia, in 2011, held biennially over the last 24 years. Next year, the AIME 2013 conference will be held in Murcia, Spain.
The AIME 2013 conference will be a unique opportunity to present and improve the international state of the art of AI in Medicine from perspectives of theory, methodology, and application. For this purpose, AIME 2013 will include invited lectures, full and short papers, tutorials, workshops, and a doctoral consortium. Specific attention will be given in the main conference to the theme "AI in Telemedicine and eHealth".
Program at a Glance
May 29, 2013: Doctoral symposium and tutorials
May 30-31, 2013: Main conference programme
June 1, 2013: Workshops
We invite you to submit original contributions regarding the development of theory, methods, systems, and applications of AI in BioMedicine, including the application of AI approaches in biomedical informatics, healthcare organization and molecular medicine. A specific focus for the AIME 2013 conference is the role of AI in telemedicine and eHealth systems.
Contributions to theory and methods should present or analyse novel AI theories or methodologies for solving problems in the biomedical field. It is equally possible to develop new theories or methods, as well as to extend existing ones. In both cases, the work should demonstrate its utility for solving biomedical problems and highlight its contribution to the underlying theoretical basis. In addition, assumptions and limitations should be discussed, and novelty with respect to the state of the art.
Contributions addressing systems and applications should describe the development, implementation or evaluation of innovative, AI-based tools and systems in the biomedical application domain. These papers should both link the work to underlying theory, and either analyse the potential benefits to solve biomedical problems, or present empirical evidence of benefits in clinical practice.
The scope of the conference includes the following areas:
· Clinical Decision Support Systems
· Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining
· Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies
· Bayesian Networks and Reasoning under Uncertainty
· Temporal and Spatial Representation and Reasoning

I have read a lot about how to hire a great developer (programmer, engineer whatever you like to call them) because I have to hire some. And when I need to do something new, I usually do a lot of reading on it first.
There are lots of theories, tools, methods, and events you can attend to hire them. This is a funny article on the subject of hiring a great developer.
I would like to summarize my readings into three tips to bring on really great developers:

With so much to see and do in London you will never be bored. With so much history in London as well as being home to the Royal Family there are many spectacular sites to visit while on a trip to the city. Visit the iconic Big Ben and take a stroll down to the London Eye to get a stunning view of the city. While you're enjoying the scenery, you'll be able to spot several other attractions to visit, such as the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral.
Don't think that London lacks any nature because it's a city, talk a walk in some of the many beautiful parks across the town. Between Green Park and St James' Park you'll even be able to say hello to the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
The city's underground system will bring you to many of London's attractions and is easily accessible from the hotel, with Gunnersbury train station a 3 minutes' walk away.LESS INFORMATION

Day 25 of 31 Days of Connecting
My dear friend Shawna wrote this short story, Temporary Forever, and it was published in Sliver Stone Magazine. I am so proud of her. It is a story about a mom who remembers her life back in foster care, the fear, the heartache, and the hope that is in that system.
I know it is fiction, and yet through it I have learned a piece of who she is. I would love to see you connect. To hear her words, learn her heart through this story.
Shawna is working hard on writing a memoir about adopting her children. You can also find her on her blog, Of Prepositions Prayer & Playdough.
Here are the first words…
It was Tuesday. That meant preschool for my four-year-old son, and once again I was making a lunch at the last minute, running late.
"Five minutes, kids," I shouted from the kitchen. "Five minutes and we're going to take Nathan to school. Are your shoes on? Nathan, did you pick something for show and tell? Today is the letter D. Do you remember your choices? Your stuffed dog or the bathtub duck," I said, hitting the letter D extra heavy on duck and dog.
I faced back to the counter and quickly swabbed the bread with mayonnaise—just a little, like he liked. I slapped the deli turkey on the bread, added the extra thin, sharp cheddar cheese, stuffed the sandwich in a plastic baggie, zipped it shut, and let it fall gently into the green and blue dinosaur lunch box. Our baby, who was almost two, toddled into the kitchen and dropped her bottle near my feet.
"Hi, Madison," I said. "Almost time to go."
To the fridge and back. Unsweetened applesauce. Baby carrots. Packed in small plastic containers, the blue lids fitting with a humph.
To the freezer for an ice pack. I dropped it in, realized it may squish the sandwich, and figured my son wouldn't notice or care all that much. Spoon. Fork. Napkin.
I was fourteen the first time I sliced a tomato and onion, just two of many experiences I hadn't had before entering foster care. I held the knife tentatively and pushed on the tomato. It sunk a little and formed a darker spot the size of my fingertip. I was afraid of the sharpness of the knife, the threat it held against this fragile tomato, anything as fragile as I felt after a week of being in a new place. I didn't want to hurt it, myself, anything. The bruises were still tender on my arms, back, around my neck…

- What: Star Wars: The Old Republic

Like Matt mentions in his preview, cited above, I'm not much of an MMO man, either. It's not that I don't like them; I'm sure I would, and that's the problem. I simply can't risk another Football Manager-style addiction. It almost cost me my education, so who knows what sort of life-ending destruction a game like Star Wars: The Old Republic might wreak. The feature list alone is enough to make any self-respecting Star Wars fan grab their nearest bathrobe, find and paint a long, cylindrical object red, blue or green, and power-walk it down to the nearest Game and begin camping out for the March 2011 release. If you're not as devoted as this, then CoolShop's pre-order may interest you, as its the cheapest around.

There are many SEO services out there some good, some that really should not be and others are yet in between, but it only takes bad SEO just alittle while and your site is at the bottom of Googles spammy-not-worth-ranking-site-junk-yard. We see this more and more, a business domain name ruin and sunk.
Most still think that 10,000 backlinks in a few days will get you ranked it did sometime ago in internet history but not anymore. It takes someone who knows what search engines are looking for, not what they use to look for.

Today's ship photos show the MOSS-type LNG carrier, Esshu Maru, transiting the new locks of the expanded Panama Canal.
The Esshu Maru was delivered in December 2014 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. It is the first of three LNG carriers (2nd and 3rd vessels coming in 2018) that will eventually sail under a long-term charter contracts with Japan's Chubu Electric Power Co. for the transport of gas from the Freeport LNG project in the U.S. to Japan once the project is operational in 2018.
The Bahamas-flagged vessel features a 153,000 square meter Moss-type non-spherical tank. It has a LOA of 288 meters and a beam of 49 meters. It is managed by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.

Vista 64 and Win 7 64
Windows live mail
Is there anyway to have it loaded and when you minimize have it go into the task-bar like in xp/or vista?
I tried to set it to run in vista mode but this does not seem to work.

Windows 7 Professional x64
It works fine for me. You need to go to the shortcut in the start menu and run it in compatibility mode for Vista, Vista SP1, or Vista SP2. I have done it several times. If you're having problems....just find the .exe and set it to run in compatibility that way. Hope this helps.

Forming the heart of South Africa, The Free State borders six of the country's nine provinces, as well as the kingdom of Lesotho. From the sandstone rock formations near the Drakensberg mountain range to the Lesotho border through open pastureland speckled with fruit farms, visitors will travel a remote and rural province - home to very few built-up areas apart from its rose-covered capital.
The Free State's striking terrain and lack of built-up areas make it ideal for a road trip. On their journey through the province, travellers will be treated to places of great historical wealth including sites of ancient San rock art, old gold mines, and discarded battlefields. At the foot of the Maloti Mountains on the north-eastern side of the province, the Golden Gate Highlands National Park features beautiful golden-hued sandstone cliffs and a strong presence of wildlife.
The Free State's position in the middle of the country means that visitors will often pass through the area en route to other provinces. The capital of the province, Bloemfontein, is a buzzing city and flowery paradise offering respite from the arid landscape. It is an ideal base from which to explore the province's many natural wonders, including the Vredefort Dome: the largest meteorite impact crater on Earth.

Android Jelly Bean is the latest iteration of the mobile OS by Google. It was launched only two months ago and yet, statistics now report that it has been installed on 1.2 percent of the Android devices already. Ice Cream Sandwich has seen an even bolder growth over last one month.
Although Android vendors catching up with Ice Cream Sandwich had been slow, the version has now reached a total of 20.9 percent of the Android devices.
A notable trend is that although the catching up of earlier Android versions had been slow, this seems to be improving with time. For instance, Jelly Bean on 1.2 percent of the devices within 2 months is not that bad a pace. However, Android platform still remains highly distributed in its numerous iterations with some 57.5 percent devices still tooling Gingerbread.
Nonetheless, the share of Gingerbread finally seems to be dropping now. During August this year, it had a share of 60.6 percent but that has now dipped by 3 percent. Ice Cream Sandwich seems to be taking the largest bite out of it.
When Motorola launched its new flagship smartphones yesterday, many of us were expecting that they would arrive with Jelly Bean. But the company unveiled them with Ice Cream Sandwich, although promising a Jelly Bean update soon. This may show that Google, who now owns Motorola, may still be highly committed to the Ice Cream Sandwich iteration before going full-throttle on Jelly Bean.

Users on T-Mobile will be happy to know that an OS update is due to land tomorrow that brings along Wi-Fi calling as well as a few other improvements. Not too long ago T-Mobile began rolling out an OS update to Q10 users and now Z10 owners will be able to join in the fun as well.
A notice in T-Mobile's support docs shows the update will be to OS 10.1.0.4780 and available starting September 5th. This is one of the first times we've seen a carrier drop word of an OS before the actual release but we won't complain about it one bit.
We'll be on the lookout for more tomorrow, but if you're using a Z10 on T-Mobile be sure to keep your eyes peeled and report back if you see the update.

text: Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. Have been reading and researching the iPad and other tablets for quite some time. Thought for sure I could put such a cool device to good use. Searched high and low to buy one, then ended up finding one at my local Target. Got exactly what I wanted - white, 32gig, wi-fi. Have since played with it a few times - angry birds on the beast is the best! But, for writing and researching (I'm a Ph.D. student), I just can't seem to make it work - I always return to my netbook. I've thought about buying a keyboard, but then I'd end up with something light and thin with a keyboard -- I already have that -- it's called a netbook! So, I'm going to sell my iPad. If I can't sell it, I'll return it to Target. Do you folks think I'll have any trouble selling it for what I paid for it? Jim

Maths, art, science, literature, philosophy, religion are converging to a single point.
A Russian scientist said that, whom the saints anoint.
Speaking for myself, I concur.
I who infrequently err.
Love is where you find it wherever that may be.
An old pop song or a cup of tea.
Did Adam and Eve do wrong or did they make a mistake?
The Reader's Digest said that in my years of heartache.
I made mistakes in my time.
Who is without crime?
Everything should rhyme.
I do be and I does be talking rot.
That's not all I've got.
Whoever is responsible, thanks a lot.
I think this poem is rather good but who am I to say?
Have it your way.
Perhaps the last two lines should be in parentheses or, as you might say, bracket.
If you have a bad child do you smack it?

Until yesterday, the only prime minister to hail from Wales was David Lloyd George, who left office in 1922. The Welsh Wizard, though, was actually born in Manchester. So, the Principality can now celebrate for the first time the elevation to the highest political office of one born on native soil. Julia Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister, comes originally from Barry in south Wales; in 1966, aged five, she travelled to Australia with her parents as one of the so-called £10 Poms. While she has spent most of her life in Australia, Miss Gillard has not lost her Welsh political roots, citing Nye Bevan as one of her heroes.
There is, understandably, much excitement among Australians over their first female PM. But perhaps it should not be such a great novelty. After all, they have had a woman as head of state for the past 58 years.

Today's audio update: Alexandra Fuller contemplates the vastness of the American West.
Our revels now are ended.…
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
—from The Tempest, by William Shakespeare
There is something philosophically redundant and self-important about traveling 2,682 miles in two weeks and hoping that in that length of time I can write something coherent or meaningful about the places I have visited and the people whom I have met all in daily 700-word dispatches. Two weeks ago, I started in Wyoming—one person with all the prejudice and humor and love and opinions of one island-stranded human—and I have ended (as is probably proper) in Mexico. "Guerrilla tourism" is how my companion on this trip has described what we have done. We have driven down the length of the continental United States and swallowed both ground and people too quickly to digest them. I regurgitate my thoughts and ideas based on my life, my education, and my current state of mind. It is no real reflection of what I see—only a mirror into myself.
It is our last morning together, and Christian is in a thoughtful mood (read: hungover) as he sips his coffee. I am dutifully hunched over my computer trying to make sense of what I wrote last night, which seemed brilliant after a bottle of wine but in the cold light of day has revealed itself to be nothing but drunken gibberish.
"What is the opposite of the 'key to the city'?" asks Christian.
"I don't know," I reply, frowning at my screen. "The 'boot to the city' perhaps?"
"Because that's what we're getting everywhere we've gone."
Christian lists off the towns we've visited on our quest to follow the Outlaw Trail—from Kaycee, Wyo., to Silver City, N.M.—and cites the reasons why we can never again show our faces in any of them. He pauses and then amends our widespread unwelcome ever so slightly. "Well, maybe we'd be welcome in Mogollon," he concedes, referring to the almost-ghost town we visited yesterday, a place currently populated with residents whom society, in general, might kindly refer to as "misfits." Ah, it is the old cliché. Christian and I have become the outlaws who were the subjects of our study.
For my part, I shall blame last night on the waiter. We were, at evening's well-intentioned start, at a very small restaurant/bookshop run by two men, one of whom seemed to do little except slouch in a low armchair at the head of the restaurant and glower at his customers over the top of a bodice-ripper romance novel, while the other squirreled about anxiously in his capacity as waiter. And it was he, the waiter, who wore in his left ear a small chandelier as an earring—a victory of cheerful eccentricity over the constraints of conservative menswear.
There was something about the courage of this outlandish fashion gesture that inspired us to abandon caution to the wind and, on the way back to our hotel from the restaurant, Christian and I led each other into the smokiest, dingiest bar on the street. "Let's play pool," I said, forgetting for a moment that I'd never held a cue stick in my life. "Let's," agreed Christian recklessly.
Somehow (and it may have been the inspiration afforded by the wine) I won three rounds of pool, which put me in such a celebratory mood that I danced the two-step, inasmuch as I can dance a two-step, with both a cowboy and a man who claimed to be an Apache chief, although not at the same time.
In my feeble defense, I have been on the Outlaw Trail for two solid weeks—something had to give. Christian and I have driven the length of the continental United States together and, like the men and women whose long-ago lives we have been following, there comes a time when a person has to let their hair down.

Big Bird De Blasio hovered over the parade for the Canyon of Heroines downtown. His awkwardness contrasted with the agility of the female athletes. His narcissism was embarrassing compared to the women's team spirit. You'd think that he had won the World Cup. He is more like the World Chump.
Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of soccer. I find it boring, next to scoreless and a celebration of the feet rather than the whole body.
Then again I hate all team sports. They are militaristic in their attempts to beat other teams. I am more gladiatorial. I prefer individual sports. I was a professional boxer and I feel that it is the epiphany of athleticism. You don't depend on others. You depend on yourself.
De Blasio made one of his corny, self-centered speeches about the team bringing "home a message about the power of women, the strength of women and the need to create a more equal society."
He is always turning life into political diatribes.
Who is he to talk about a more equal society? He lives in Gracie mansion, earns a good living, is the most powerful man politically in New York. He reminds me of millionaire Hillary Clinton talking about how poor she was when she got out of the White House.
He doesn't have a clue about an equal society. He doesn't live with the bums in Thompkins Park. He is a giant, awkward man who throws down his clichés at the hobos to turn and boost himself higher into the clouds.
He has not earned the right to praise the women's soccer team nor to decide for them that we "need to create a more equal society."
The female athletes bore me but let them have their day. Don't let De Blasio trample on their moment of glory.

Saturday, October 20, 2018
Following on from Weekly News 33 where we reported that the Senate of the Philippines, the final signatory party, unanimously passed Resolution No. 829, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has issued a news release stating that the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC 2006) has now been ratified by thirty nations.
Those nations represent more than 33% of the world's gross shipping tonnage and as a result, MLC 2006 will enter into force next year on 20 August 2013. The Convention establishes minimum requirements for almost all aspects of working conditions for seafarers including conditions of employment, hours of work and rest, accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering, health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection.
MLC 2006 replaces 37 existing ILO maritime conventions and related recommendations. Please note that MLC 2006 includes a "no less favourable treatment" clause, meaning that Member States will be obligated to ensure that the ships that fly the flag of any State that has not ratified the Convention do not receive more favourable treatment than the ships that fly the flag of any State that has ratified it.
The following countries have ratified MLC 2006: Liberia, Marshall Islands, Bahamas, Panama, Norway, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Canada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Switzerland, Benin, Singapore, Denmark, Antigua and Barbuda, Latvia, Luxembourg, Kiribati, Netherlands, Australia, St Kitts and Nevis, Tuvalu, Togo, Poland, Palau, Sweden, Cyprus, Russian Federation and the Philippines.

Build Shoe Rack. When you intend to buy new furniture for your home, the thought of buying furniture online is not the initial thing that involves your mind; somewhat, you try to learn other options for your furniture shopping. Unlike the early times, getting the furniture custom-made at home by a tuned carpenter is nearly the thing you want to go for, and browsing each furniture store in your area to discover the best products and discount rates aren't practical alternatives.
Few learn how to buy furniture effectively. You should invest some time online, and make a few decisions from the furniture websites you will find. Then go to the showrooms offering your alternatives and try the furniture out. That's how to buy furniture. Furniture, especially solid wood furniture, plays an essential role in emanating a nice and peaceful atmosphere in your house. However, while every person wants to obtain real wood furniture to deck up their homes, few are aware in what furniture to buy.

The crews of Atlantis and the International Space Station will bid one another farewell and close the hatches between the vehicles at about 9 p.m. on Saturday. Undocking is scheduled for 11:54 p.m., to be followed by an hour-long fly around of the station by Pilot Charlie Hobaugh. The final separation burn that will move Atlantis away from the station to begin its journey home is scheduled for 1:14 a.m. Sunday.
The Atlantis crew, Commander Steve Lindsey, Hobaugh and Mission Specialists Janet Kavandi, Mike Gernhardt and Jim Reilly, will leave behind the Expedition Two crew of Commander Yury Usachev and Flight Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms, who are in their 136th day in space.
The Expedition Three crew, Commander Frank Culbertson and Flight Engineers Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikail Tyurin, will replace the Expedition Two crew next month during the STS-105 mission.
Atlantis will undock from an International Space Station that is ready to begin independent operations. Since July 2000, 77 tons of hardware has been added to the station, including the Zvezda module, the Z1 Truss Assembly, Pressurized Mating Adapter 3, the P6 Truss and its 240-foot long solar arrays, the U.S. laboratory Destiny, the Canadarm2 and the Quest airlock.
The Atlantis crew was awakened at 4:14 p.m. Saturday by the song "Who Let The Dogs Out" sung by the Baha Men. The song was played for Hobaugh. All systems aboard both Atlantis and the International Space Station continue to function normally as the two spacecraft orbit the Earth at an average altitude of 240 statute miles.
The next mission status report will be issued about 6 a.m. Sunday or as events warrant.
NASA Johnson Space Center Mission Status Reports and other information are available automatically by sending an Internet electronic mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

When What's Stolen Is Found
Release Date: September 24, 2013
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Pages: 308 pages
Source & Format: Bought; Hardcover
Amazon | Goodreads
Summary (from Goodreads)
Beautiful review as usual. I looooove the quote.ReplyDelete
Thanks Juju! This one has some really great storytelling - and there were a few other quotes I considered, too :) Some very quotable moments!Delete
I absolutely adored Where the Stars Still Shine! I think that Trish managed to write such a realistic, great character in Callie. I truly felt for her when she was going through everything in this book. You're absolutely spot on when it comes to the professional help suggestion though; that might have been a good addition to this story. Glad you enjoyed this one too!ReplyDelete
Yeah, I understand that it might have been too much to add that element in, too, but I did feel like it was necessary. Like she went through such trauma, it was hard for me to imagine that she'd just be able to pick up and start a new life.Delete
I just bought this one and am really looking forward to starting it -- so glad to hear you enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
I hope you enjoy it, too! It's definitely a memorable read, and I'm really excited about Trish Doller as an author. Such talent!Delete
