Drosera capillaris
Drosera capillaris, the pink or spathulate-leaved sundew (not to be confused with Drosera spatulata), is a small carnivorous plant of the family Droseraceae in the genus Drosera. They are frequently found in wet pine flatwoods and bogs of the southeastern United States, ranging from eastern Texas east to Florida and north to Virginia, as well as in some areas of the Caribbean. They thrive in moist, acidic soil.
D. capillaris is a small plant, usually ranging from 2 to 4 cm in diameter, but in wet habitats it has been known to grow up to 7 cm. In strong sun the entire plant appears red with round, spoon-shaped leaf blades sporting numerous tentacles. In normal light, the leaves are lime-green and the tentacles red. The leaves are arranged in a rosette and generally lie flat on the ground.
At the end of each tentacle is a mucilaginous secretory gland. This gland secretes droplets of fluid which gives the plant its glistening, dew-drop appearance. Insects, upon being attracted to the plant through the nectar-like appearance and odor of the secretions, become stuck to the mucilage. With this stimulus, the tentacles begin to slowly enclose the victim. In a matter of minutes, the sundew begins to secrete digestive enzymes and acids that start to dissolve its victim's body. The glands then start to absorb the nutritious liquified insect. It has been found that these plants only respond to objects of nutritional value and not to sand, paper, or water.[citation needed]
Some individuals of this species act as annuals and some as perennials. Germination occurs throughout the fall, and germination time varies over a matter of months. The flowers are pink and typically show up in April. However, these plants flower over a huge range of times and sizes, and some individuals complete their life cycles within a year while others survive for two or more years.
It is not unusual to see D. capillaris, along with their relative the Drosera brevifolia (the dwarf sundew), carpet large areas so thickly it is hard to walk without stepping on tens of them growing out of wet sand or long-fiber sphagnum or just overflowing from a road-side ditch. Both sundews commonly live side-by-side with American pitcher plants (Sarracenia), butterworts, and bladderworts.

Justin Bieber is getting in that needed rest and relaxation!
The 23-year-old entertainer was spotted heading into SugarFish for lunch on Tuesday afternoon (July 25) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

In case you are planning to look for the finest possible option under the zone of nozzle for the hot runners, you can try and opt for those series, which fall under the zone of pin point gate nozzle. Some of the other options for you to deal with are associated with the zone of valve gate nozzle, direct gate nozzle and also the zone of the size segment. As the nozzles are available in various shapes and sizes, therefore; make it a point to deal with the best one among the lots. These are manufacturing using premium quality steel and stainless steel procedures, which are procured from reliable vendors.
Some beneficial services to deal with
With the help of Hot Runner Nozzle, the users can easily eliminate the waste, associated with the procedure of the customers and can also help in eliminating the mold structure. Moreover, the processing zone can also remove the condensate materials, which are associated at the tip of the product. On the other hand, the main aim of the product is to reduce the manual labor and also the material cost, which can really act in your favor.
Focusing towards the injection period
During the time of injection, a little pressure needs to be provided and the plastic inside the injection system always remain at the molten state. This can help for a smooth flow and at the same time can offer you with the same nozzle temperature and runner space. These are some of the positive sides, which are to be noted down, when the main area is related with nozzles.

The industry's $1 billion dollar sales club is now just a bit less exclusive.
For the first time all companies making SN's newly released Top 75, the annual ranking of North American food retailers and wholesalers, have surpassed the $1 billion sales mark.
That's an impressive factoid to remember at industry gatherings and for office water-cooler conversations, even though it's probably not the most important thing about this year's list (see the Top 75 insert for the story and rankings).
It was inevitable that inflation would eventually push all the largest retailers past this dollar milestone. Some observers also noted that store closings by weaker operators played a role.
More important in the long term is how individual retailers are surging because of their strategies. This year's rankings were impacted by sales growth at a number of retailers, including Target Corp. with it's P-fresh food format now incorporated in close to half its stores; Bi-Lo with its renovation moves; and Fresh & Easy with its ongoing expansion.
Industry mergers played a role in the relative positions of several acquiring companies including 7-Eleven, Sprouts Farmers Market and PAQ.
In fact, The Food Institute has reported a 21% increase in overall food industry mergers in 2011, to some 384 transactions for retailers, suppliers and others.
What you won't see on this year's Top 75 list is the impact of deals and other moves still pending or those that occurred after the close of the latest fiscal years of the Top 75 retailers. In many years those late-season developments would have had little impact on the roster, but not so this time. The latest moves included:
- Homeland Stores has been sold to its employees by Associated Wholesale Grocers, Kansas City. The sale involves 76 units, which will continue to be supplied by AWG.
- Giant Food Stores has agreed to purchase 16 Genuardi's stores from Safeway.
- Bi-Lo and Winn-Dixie plan to merge in a deal that would create a $10 billion supermarket entity.
- Delhaize Group plans to shutter 113 Food Lions and discontinue the Bloom banner as part of a wide-ranging reorganization strategy.
These late developments will surely figure prominently in next year's rankings. Moreover, they have already set the tone for an action-packed start to the new year. Some analysts have predicted we won't see much big merger activity this year, but even if that's the case, there's already been enough activity to keep the industry buzzing for a while.

Spread The Word:
"Regulate Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under The Clean Air Act of 2009 NOW!"
To: xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx
From: Center for Biological Diversity
Subject: Tell EPA: Deploy the Clean Air Act Now to Fight Climate Change
Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 2:12 PM
Dear Robert & Melinda,
On April 24, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson took a first step toward regulating greenhouse pollution under the Clean Air Act by issuing a proposed finding that greenhouse gas emissions "endanger public health and welfare."
At the conclusion of the ongoing public comment period, the Environmental Protection Agency must finalize the finding, and then -- at long last -- issue regulations to reduce greenhouse pollution.
Despite this forward momentum, the Obama administration is under intense pressure from industry to postpone or forgo the regulations.
The Clean Air Act is our nation's leading tool for the reduction of greenhouse pollution, with a proven track record of success in reducing traditional air pollutants.
Yet the Act's very effectiveness makes it the primary target of industries and politicians that continue to oppose solutions to the climate crisis....
The Environmental Protection Agency needs to hear from millions of Americans in support of Clean Air Act regulation for greenhouse gases. Please send your letter by the June 23 deadline.
*Click here to find out more and take action immediately:
Sample letter:
Subject: Regulate Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0171
Dear Administrator Jackson,
I applaud your proposed finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger public health and welfare.
The finding incorporates an enormous body of scientific information demonstrating that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced immediately in order to avoid catastrophic climate impacts.
I am disappointed, however, that the proposed finding did not include proposed regulations to actually get the job done.
The Clean Air Act provides critically important tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions successfully and cost-effectively.
This law has a four-decade track record of success in protecting the air we breathe, and provides the foundation for a shift to a low-carbon, clean-energy future.
Please finalize the endangerment finding and issue regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions immediately.
Our future depends on your leadership -- if you will stand firm against industry pressure for further delays in greenhouse gas reductions, a brighter future for all of us is still possible.
*Please take action by June 23, 2009.

this will change if I change the type of contact page displayed. For example, if I make the Contact page a Simple type in the Menu link, the above items will be changed to "Display Contact Simple Interface", and so on...
this occurs only on the Contact page and no other pages.
Is this the intended functionality for this page?

Critic Reviews for Chicago
All Critics (252) | Top Critics (49) | Fresh (215) | Rotten (37) | DVD (22)
Chicago is sexy, sordid and sensational, the Windy City's biggest hit since the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
As sentimental as a plywood casket, Chicago has satirical bite and a mean wit that somehow never obscures its characters' unlikely likability.
With performers as good as these and the freshness of Bill Condon's screenplay and Marshall's direction, there's really very little wrong with Chicago. What it lacks is something intangible -- heat.
Rob Marshall's screen version of the near-venerable show looks great, in its razzly-dazzly neo-Fosse way, and sounds good, especially when Renee Zellweger's gorgeous Roxie Hart is singing her heart out.
The song-and-dance numbers are calisthenic but unspectacular, with too much fast cutting, and the tone throughout is harmlessly facetious.
Audience Reviews for Chicago
Might have appreciated it better had it not been for "all that jazz"! I don't like musicals usually, so apparently this form of satire didn't appeal me in the least.
Super Reviewer
Preferred Broadway show, but good adaptation. Renee was brilliant. Great music.
Super Reviewer
The music is already good, and it's a well made, dark and wry movie musical.

WE2 runescape problems solutions team
Here the list of the worst problems in descending order that need the solutions I have proposed implemented immediately in order to save this world event from sucking like it already does.
1. Scaling failing.
Solution: Obviously remove scaling. Don't try and fix it with bad math and make it worse! it was a bad idea to start with in a level based heavily combat oriented MMO game. In fact while your at it, stop adding it to quest releases.
2. PVP Pile fest.
Solution: Make an option to allow for single or multi-combat options similar to wilderness.
Note: While I understand that a lot of mindless masses enjoy piling people which requires no skill or effort at all to simply dominate (much like the people who seem to enjoy clicking on an object and watching a movie instead of engaging in the game because there is nothing to engage in..) I and many others; prefer to actually play this game and engage in the content. As is though in runescape there is currently NO SAFE 1 vs 1 PVP at all! With the only exception of the duel arena which is sooo dull after you have fought all ten people hanging out there. This world event I thought was going to be the PERFECT way to implement awesome free roam combat in the world. I was wrong. It can be different though!! MAKE COMBAT FUN!
3. Big ass score board banner.
Solution: Add option to remove the freaking score bar between bandos and Armadyl.
Seriously, it feels like I can barely see my character any more with all the cluster on the screen we don't need more! Remove it completely from in game or give us a hide option please.
4. Lack of shards.
Solution: Add more. Or.. you know? Drop the 1000 requirement to 100. Be reasonable to collectors.
EDIT: Seems the drop or collect rate for shards has dramatically improved im noticing. Good job Jamblex 3 more problems to fix.
1. Rewarding those that haven't put the effort into training their skills as hard as those with maxed combat skills is stupid and that is what scaling does. How anyone can justify this at all is beyond me.
Removing the scaling and keeping or increasing the level limits for kills to be included in statistics and scoreboards is a better and sound concept.
2. Piling is end of story and while I appreciate some people enjoy this aspect, some of us don't and this was and is the perfect way to introduce fun 1 vs 1 open world combat into the game.
I don't care about real wars, clan wars, fart wars or star wars. I am trying to get across that an introduction of 1 vs 1 finally into the game would have a MASSIVE positive and fun effect on the game for pvpers that want to fight safely. I feel this event was and still is PERFECT for the addition of this content.
3. Banner still has to be in game and its annoying and intrusive to me and a lot of other people. Simply moving is doesn't get rid of it.
4. I know I contradicted my self, I personally couldn't care less about the overrides and shard rates because I am not collecting them. I do how ever notice people upset about the rates of shards and I feel for them.. Its merely compassion on my be half.

A single injection of a new form of anesthestic can provide relief from pain lasting several days. Researchers at the Universities of Illinois and Miami have found a way to use sound waves to break up the anesthestic into microdroplets. Those droplets are then enveloped in thin membranes that resemble human cells and are injected into the site where pain relief is sought. The anesthestic leaks slowly from its minipackage to block nerve activity and create insensitivity to pain. ''The membrane around the drug makes the real cells in the body believe the drug capsules are just other cells so the body doesn`t reject them as a foreign substance,'' explained Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick of the University of Illinois in Chicago, one of the developers. ''At the same time, these `envelopes` prevent the drug from being taken up by the blood and sent to the kidneys and liver for elimination.'' The technique, which awaits trials in humans, promises long-term pain relief for people with ills ranging from cancer to arthritis.

This 2008 Short Sand Rail isn't for everyone, we know that. But if you're the kind of guy who does appreciate a machine with this one's capabilities, then you'll definitely need to sit up and pay attention, because this is not your average dune buggy.
Built by Short Sand Cars, this one is a one-off with all kinds of upgrades designed to make it not only fun, but reliable and safe in the most demanding of all places: the desert. It's a tube frame chassis, of course, and it's based on the standard Short Sand Car platform, but has additional gussets and tubing welded in to make the cage incredibly rigid. It's not mild steel, but .095 4130 chromoly tubing, which costs a lot more but is also a lot stronger. The entire framework was powdercoated satin black, which is for both durability and appearance reasons, and it's easy to maintain. There are a few modest body panels to shield the passengers from some of the sand that's sure to be coming their way, plus a wing out back that actually does its job. All of those cosmetic pieces were treated to a bright lime paint with a coat of silver sparkle over them, giving this car serious eyeball appeal and a high-visibility look that's probably a good idea out on the dunes. It's got headlights, and, um, well, that's about it, but experts will never call this rail "basic."
The interior, if you want to call it that, even though it's about as exterior as you can get, offers all the right equipment for having some safe fun in the sand. The PRP Premier racing buckets are upholstered in gray cloth that's comfortable but not sticky in the hot sun, an important consideration for a car like this. 5-point harnesses are probably mandatory for this car and directly hard-wire you to the car's chassis for unbeatable control in the rough stuff. The floors are aluminum, so no worries about tracking dirt on anything that'll get stained, and the controls are limited to a digital readout in the center of the dash, some toggle switches, and a stubby shifter for the 6-speed manual transmission. The steering wheel is suitably fat so you can grab it even with gloves on and it's bolted securely to the frame so it won't mind you hanging on for dear life.
The engine is a very stout 1300 cc Suzuki Hayabusa inline-four that cranks out an astounding 175 horsepower, which, in power-to-weight ratio terms, puts this sand rail in the same category as a Corvette Four separate carburetors wear extra protective air filters and the cam cover was painted to match the bodywork, which is a nice touch. The 6-speed manual transmission uses undercut gears for more positive shifts and better holding power under load and transfers power to the axles through a 530 X-ring chain to a 63-tooth sprocket custom made just for this car by Sprocket Specialties. Something that only weighs 1000 pounds really only needs disc brakes on the back, so that's what it wears, along with some exceptionally long-travel Fox 2.0 coil-over shocks. 15-inch Douglas wheels are used at all four corners with 26x8.00R15 Maxxis Big Horn tires up front and 26x10.00R15s out back.
If playing in the sand is your thing, this is your car. Purpose built using the best parts available, it's fun on wheels with few equals. Call today!
This vehicle is not currently in one of our showrooms. Please set up an appointment to view this car in person.

Well does that mean that if we launch a satellite with an engine of some kind that it keeps it from being a satellite? All geo-sync satellites have some kind of thruster onboard to keep them in that orbit or to move them to a new orbit.

Rock Totally Bizarre And Insane Stories About Red Hot Chili Peppers Frontman Anthony Kiedis
Funky monks rejoice - your high priest has been anointed. Once a weirdo punk-junkie anonymously wandering the streets of Los Angeles, Anthony Kiedis is now at least as famous a drug-addled SoCal "mythic" street poet as Jim Morrison. While some extravagant details of his outlandish life are widely known, rock history, being the lurid mythos that it is, will always welcome dark Anthony Kiedis stories and lurid facts about Anthony Kiedis. As anyone who's read the full Kiedis bio in Scar Tissue can tell you, most of the stories are true, most of the stories are insane, and most of the stories are way more over-the-top than you can imagine.
From his unorthodox, drug-infused Hollywood upbringing to his long battle with heroin and cocaine addiction to his famous onstage theatrics, Kiedis is rock n' roll (or funk n' roll, if you will) history personified. While the Red Hot Chili Peppers as a collective lay claim to one of the great, sordid canons in the annals of rock history, Kiedis merits examination of his own, for his truly depraved and outlandish antics.
Slap your bass. Cook your white horse. Get your friends on your aeroplane after a warped trip to the coffee shop as one big mob. There are souls to squeeze, kisses to suck, and higher ground to be achieved. Strap yourself into your sex magik rocket ship with a full supply of mother's milk, because it's time to travel all around the world and into a parallel universe, naked in the rain with the righteous and the wicked. Dig?
He Smuggled $30,000 In Cash For His Dad At Age 12
Not long after Kiedis moved to Los Angeles in 1974, his dad took him on a drug dealing trip to Kenosha, Wisconsin. As Blackie Dammett spent three days selling blow and what have you, young Anthony went to see Roger-Moore-James-Bond-weirdo-voodoo classic Live and Let Die every day.
When Dammett and Kiedis returned to Los Angeles, they had $30,000 in cash. As Anthony recounts in Scar Tissue, "My dad told me I'd be carrying the money, because if they caught someone who looked like him with all that money, he'd be busted for sure... so we rigged a belt piece, stuffed it with cash, and taped it to my abdomen."
He Lost His Virginity At 12 Years Old To His Dad's 18-Year-Old Girlfriend—And His Dad Set It Up
Kiedis lost his virginity at 12 to his dad's 18-year-old girlfriend. As Larry Slowman, co-author of Scar Tissue, recounts it:
"One night, when Anthony was 12, he went with his father to the Rainbow Room and Blackie's girlfriend is there dancing for him.
"Anthony asks, 'Dad, can I have my first sexual experience with your girlfriend?' And Blackie says, 'Sure, son.'
"So they go back to the house, and his dad builds a big bed out of four mattresses in his room and puts the girl in next to him.
"And that's how he loses his virginity."
He Once Went Looking For Coke At A Backwoods Trailer Park With A Woman Who Wrote Ocean-Themed Erotic Poetry About Him
"Sometimes I combined my passion for drugs and girls," Kiedis writes in Scar Tissue. After a 1984 show in South Carolina, the singer scored a gram of coke from a bartender, finished it quickly, and was on the hunt for more blow and a Garden of Eden to fill with his demon "when this fat girl approached me."
Do tell, Anthony.
"She was probably about five-three, with an unusual, chunky shape. She had a fairly large girth, and her tits were like enormous missiles that projected from her elbows to the end of her hands... she had our album, and told me I was her favorite poet of all time, and she gave me this letter that, among other things, suggested my d*ck was a dolphin and her p*ssy was the ocean and I had to go for a swim in that ocean...
'Can you get me some coke?' I started."
The two soon found themselves in a backwoods trailer park filled with "guns and beer bottles and cigarettes and poker" and drugs. They scored coke, did it all, and, after praying the funk would make them freak, slapped each other's bass strings all night.
Cher Was The First Woman He Saw Naked
Kiedis's dad was friends with Sonny and Cher, whose son Chaz is a few years younger than Anthony. When he first moved to Los Angeles, Kiedis spent a fair amount of time with the family, going to parties and even once accompanying them on a skiing trip.
When Anthony was in eighth grade, Cher, who was separated from Sonny by then, offered to babysit. He and Cher enjoyed their evening together, engaging in an hours-long chat and really getting to know one another. Then Kiedis went to bed, and Cher got ready to do the same.
Believing Kiedis to be asleep, Cher took off all her clothes. From his nearby bed, Anthony watched. "There was a woman's naked body, and it was long and slender and special and just thrilling," he recalled.
Cher put on a nightgown and got into bed with Anthony. And the two spent the night sleeping side-by-side. Titillating but chaste, no?

Food In The News: Food As Art
Food can be beautiful. We all know this. Some diners just want their food to taste good, but some people demand that their experience be visually-pleasing to boot. In her new food art series, artist Judith Klausner isn't afraid to push the limit when it comes to being daring or creative. She explores tasks that are associated with women throughout time- such as embroidery. Check out her Victorian cameo (made with an Oreo!) and other eclectic pieces that are statements on society as much as they are eye-pleasing food art.
Condiment wallpaper! Judith created a traditional Victorian wallpaper with materials such as BBQ sauce and yellow mustard. You may not want to display this on your wall, but it is certainly a creative use of our favorite hot dog and burger condiments!
Would you like some embroidered toast for breakfast? Using thread, toast and paper, this piece really does look (almost) good enough to eat!
Want some inspiration with that cereal? Never forget to eat the most important meal of the day. This piece is witty and pretty and everything nice! If you're a mom, you will love it!
These lovely art pieces are examples of using food as art to an extreme. There are many other ways to use art in cooking presentation. I know I loved the massive Hogwarts castle cake made for every Harry Potter premiere by the Ace of Cakes, Duff Goldman. He always found a way to make the castle different based on the film it was for. I also envy and adore veggie art and the way chefs make a carrot seemingly transform into a flower petal.
Have you created any food art of your own? Let us know in the comments!

English fixture schedule untenable – FA
The fixture list in England is "overcrowded and untenable", according to the Football Association.
Hull City host Arsenal in an FA Cup fifth-round replay (19:00 GMT) on 8 March – a Champions League night.
The FA said "exhaustive discussions" had taken place with Uefa before confirming the date as it clashes with Europe's premier club competition.
In a statement, it added: "The FA recognises that this is not an ideal solution for everyone."
Premier League side Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at home by Championship leaders Hull on 20 February.
On the same date as the replay, Real Madrid play Roma and Wolfsburg meet Gent in the second legs of their Champions League last-16 ties.
The FA said: "It does strengthen the case for footballing bodies to work closely together in a positive, collaborative way to resolve the overcrowded and untenable fixture schedule."
It was revealed last week that FA Cup replays could be scrapped in order to trim the fixture list.
The FA also has concerns the season leaves the national team tired for major summer tournaments.

I have grown a lot since freshman year. You can't really tell on the outside, but on the inside I have grown incredibly. I have become the woman that I have only dreamed of being and never thought I could be. I used to be afraid of going into a room all by myself or speak in front of my class or even speak to people who weren't necessarily my friends. I was known as the quiet girl. Even though I hated my reputation, it was rightly so. I was one of the quietest people you would ever meet. I wanted to change, I wanted to change so very badly. I hated my current state. I remember those nights I had of despair.The nights that I prayed with all of my heart, to be different. I know probably at the beginning of my journey, I thought it was impossible to change, I really did. I couldn't see myself any other way. I was stuck in this reputation, that no matter what I did people would always see me as the shy girl.
There were countless times when I heard that people didn't want to be my friend or didn't like me because I was too quiet. People would always say I was too quiet. I was frustrated because I didn't know how to change. Many times people would ask, "Why are you so quiet?". I hated that question. I honesty was as stumped as they were. I didn't know. All I knew is that was how God made me. And I wish He had made me some other way. I wanted to be the girl that everybody said "hi" to. The girl that all the guys liked. I wanted to make people laugh and have many friends. I didn't understand why this world only accepted a certain group of people. People who were loud and talkative were good. And people who were quiet and shy were bad. I couldn't see myself any other way.
But-- I had faith. And with that faith, I prayed. I prayed ever so passionately. Because I knew that all things are possible with God. By the time my 8th grade year, I slowly started to blossom. Each year, I grew. Grew in my faith and maturity. And I began to change.
I started to see myself do things that I probably could never do in the past. Whether it be to say a speech in front of people without notes, sing solos in front of hundreds, walk in to a room all by myself, or make friends with people that I had never talked to before. You see, you may not see the change on the outside, but on the inside, I am a whole new person. I find myself the person that everybody says hi to in the hallway. Things can only go up from here. I have been faced with many challenges. But each has gotten me closer to God. He is my Rock and my Salvation. Whom shall I fear? I will never doubt. And I will continue my journey with Him, side by side, step by step. And I will press on. Press on to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -- Amen*

If you want to experiance the color green, tour the botanical garden of Garagnin Fanfogna and relish in the horticultural harmony of nature's Green treasures. In a small landscape you will encounter varieties of trees, shrubs and plants from all corners of the world.
At one time it had 359 varieties, justifying its reference to as ''a ship in a bottle''
At the begining of the 19th. ct. when its owners emigrated to Italy and following WWII, it went trough a period of neglect, but in 2013, after a major cleaning it opened its gates to the public once again.
The garden is in it full blossom during spring when the ground is bright green, changing shades as it climbs to the top of the tallest dark green tree.
Are you GREEN?
Čiovo's bike and hiking routs are apx. 70km long. On a clear day, while riding or hiking, one can view the open sea and visually connect with the islands of Šolta, Brač and even Vis. There will be no shortage of olive trees or vineyards since Čiovo's major source of income in the Greek era was in the production of olive oil and wine.
An early summer morning, the sky is clear, the air is fresh and you are walking through fields of olive trees on the island Ciovo. Maybe you just parked your bike to take a selfie with the islands of Solta and Brač in the background. Maybe today your color is truely green!
Our lady of Prizidnice is the ''keeper of our sea and sailors''. In the 16th ct., priests from Poljica chose a desolate point on the steep cliffs on the island of Čiovo and built a shrine dedicated to the Immaculate Conseption. Above the entrance carved in the wall are two stone tablets bearing witness to its history. Juraj Stoidražić, a hermit priest, arrived in 1546 and built this temple becoming a safe haven for hermit priests who dedicated their lives to prayer and penance. The inside is decorated with a painting of Our Lady of Grace holding Jesus (14th ct.) originating from the famous art school on the Island of Crete.
The church today is uninhabited and is located on the south-east end of the island on a cliff above the sea. Only four times a year a pilgrimage is held in the church where locals come to hear the mass. From here you can see the islands Brač and Šolta. It provides the best location for gazing at the sun while it is rising or setting.
The cave is an archeological find in the hinterland of Trogir. Here they found remains from the Mousterian culture and animal remains that date back to the Paleolithic era. It is the first organized excavation and chronologically dated dig of the Mousterian era in Dalmatia - important for researching life and adaptation of Neanderthals in the Adriatic.
If you are not shy of a little hiking, the cave of Mujo (Jure) is a must see! You get a chance to stand on grounds with documented life 45000 years old, what a rush!

SOURCE: Global Equity International Inc.
October 21, 2016 09:45 ET
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2016) - Global Equity International, Inc. (OTCQB: GEQU) and its fully-owned subsidiaries GEP Equity Holdings Limited and Global Equity Partners Plc. ("GEP" - www.gepartnersplc.com) a specialist consultancy firm with offices located in Dubai and London, would like to announce that the Board of Directors have firmly decided to commence the process of acquiring Regulated Funds under Management initially in the United Kingdom.
In common with the overall financial services sector, the micro fund management market is undergoing significant changes. Our Company would like to take advantage of these changes and acquire a significant selection of International and United Kingdom based Financial Advisory Firms with funds under management and via acquisition create a subsidiary under one efficient and cost effective umbrella that will provide long term revenue for Global Equity International Inc. and its fully owned subsidiaries.
A "Fund Division" of our Company, Global Equity, will provide long term stability via revenue, attractive value by paying up to three times profits and short term income from both the "Fund Division" and our Company due to our ability to then self-finance deals and ultimately "Close the circle."
Major Keys to Success:
To date we have identified four Funds under Management that we are interested in acquiring. The total amount of money under management would be approximately US$200,000,000 and total annual net profits vary between 1% and 1.5% of the fund value. These regulated and licensed Financial Advisory Firms with Funds under Management can be acquired for small multiples and with certain amounts paid up-front and the balance as a form of buy-out over time which will end up being self-funded from the revenues we intend to acquire. Each of these target Funds are based in the UK and are highly regulated by the UK FCA (https://www.fca.org.uk/).
Once we have acquired at least two of the Financial Advisory Firms with Funds under Management that we have on our shortlist, within 12 months, we will create a "Global Equity Special Opportunities Fund" that will be established in a regulated market thus allowing us, over time, to move certain pockets of money from the Funds under Management we acquire into our own fund thus allowing us to finance our own clients and by virtue increase the overall profitability, speed of transaction and deal making capability of the group.
Peter Smith, CEO of Global Equity International Inc., said, "Over the last 6 years we have slowly but surely built a professional team and a solid and very substantial network around us. Now the time has come to take the next step in order to "close the circle" on our business model. I travelled to the United Kingdom two weeks ago and met with certain significant people within the sector with a view of posing to them our idea of commencing an acquisition trail on various UK Regulated Funds. The idea was received with great enthusiasm, so much so that I and my CFO, Enzo Taddei, will be travelling back to the UK this coming Monday to follow up on my previous conversations and also to meet with all four potential acquisition targets with a view to agree on the basic terms of acquisition with each of them, and to set a timeframe to commence our comprehensive due diligence. Also I have spoken to various of our financial partners about assisting us to source the funding required, initially via debt only, to acquire the various targeted Financial Advisory Firms with Funds under Management and we have received an extremely positive response. We are feeling very bullish about getting these Funds acquired in the next 3 to 4 months. I personally have extensive experience in this type of business hence I know how profitable it can be. I also know that with a little "TLC" we can make the net profits of these funds substantially higher in time."
About Global Equity International Inc. and subsidiaries

An Afternoon of Music
Photos: December 14, 2016
There is nothing like an afternoon of music - playing it, that is. Music transcends language and age. I play sometimes with a mother an son - the mother on harpsichord (keyboard pictured above) and the son on violin. We sightread through trio sonatas. My harpsichord friend has a big library of music and she selects the musical menu for the day. Telemann is one composer we play often.
In baroque times composers would write for a variety of options regarding the instruments, so a piece may be for violin or flute or ... We make liberal use of options as the violin sometimes plays an oboe line or flute line.
I, in turn, play oboe, flute and violin lines on my tenor recorder. We play for a couple of hours, share a pot of tea and chat and then play a little more before I head home, my head full of music.

Note: You must own a Study Bible to use this feature.
In print, Study Bibles tend to consist of one Bible translation with extensive notes added on the same page. In Logos, we have split the notes out from the Bible text, allowing you to use any Study Bible with any Bible translation. Here's how it works:
Setup your Study Bible
- Open any Bible you own from the library.
(This can be the same translation that the print edition used, or any translation you prefer.)
- Click the Panel Menu (book cover) in the top-left corner of your Bible.
- Select a "Link Set" (Example: Link Set "A")
- Open any Study Bible from the library.
- Click the Panel Menu (book cover) in the top-left corner of your Study Bible.
- Select the same "Link Set" (Example: Link Set "A")
The Study Bible you've selected will now "follow" your translation to any passage. You have the freedom to resize either panel as needed, depending on how much text you want on-screen at a time. You can also link additional Bible translations, additional Study Notes, and full Commentaries to this Link Set and they will all follow each other as you scroll or navigate through the Bible.
"Study Bibles" & "Study Bible Notes"
As you browse for Study Bibles on Logos.com, you will often encounter two options: "Study Bible" and "Study Bible Notes". The Study Bible will include the Bible translation used with the Print edition. If you already own this translation, choose the "Notes" version without an included Bible translation.

By the time you read this, SQL Server 2005 Beta 3 should be publicly available. SQL Server 2005 contains much to look forward to. I've been working with early builds for almost 2 years now, and I'm still discovering new features and improvements almost weekly. All these changes are both bad news and good news: The bad news is that many of the things I knew about SQL Server no longer hold true; the good news is that I get to learn a whole lot of cool new stuff.
Here's a preview of my 10 favorite new features and enhancements. These are the items I find the most exciting, and I'll be researching and writing more about them once Beta 3 makes its debut. For now, I can give you enough information to whet your appetite for starting your own investigations.
1. Included Columns in Nonclustered Indexes
I've talked about the concept of covering indexes in several of my earlier columns (see "The Big Cover Up," September 2001 and "Time for a Tune-Up," August 2001), and the inclusion of columns in nonclustered indexes will provide even more flexibility in building powerful covering indexes. Typically, nonclustered indexes allow a total of 900 bytes for all the keys combined, but SQL Server 2005 will let you add other table columns that won't be included in that limit. Although these additional columns permit the leaf level of the index to store more information, they won't be used for sorting and searching through the index.
2. Online Index Rebuild
You might need to rebuild indexes for several reasons: to remove fragmentation, to reestablish a fillfactor, or to move the index to a new drive or filegroup. In SQL Server 2000, rebuilding a clustered index makes the entire index (and table) unavailable during the rebuild; rebuilding a nonclustered index disallows any updates on the index or table. SQL Server 2005, however, gives you the option of rebuilding an index while keeping all the underlying table data fully available.
The option to rebuild an index online will be available through the new ALTER INDEX command. SQL Server 2005 is moving towards a unified model of object management. Instead of a multitude of stored procedures, commands, or Database Consistency Checker (DBCC) options (e.g., DBCC INDEXDEFRAG, sp_password, sp_rename) that change one aspect of an object, every object will have a CREATE command, a DROP command and an ALTER command, with which you will be able to make any allowable change to the object. There will be a new ALTER LOGIN command in addition to ALTER INDEX, and the existing ALTER commands, such as ALTER TABLE, will become more powerful in terms of the changes they can make. ALTER INDEX, for example, will have a REBUILD WITH (ONLINE = ON) option as well as a REORGANIZE option to remove fragmentation.
3. Availability of Index Metadata
Instead of awkward DBCC commands to return information about your existing index structures, SQL Server 2005 will have two new "dynamic management views" that will give you physical storage information and usage information about your indexes. I'll write plenty more about the dynamic management view concept in future articles, but for now, think of these views as being like the sysprocesses table (which I describe in "Inside Sysprocesses," July 2003). This table isn't a real physical table; rather, it's a pseudo table that's built from internally available information whenever it's queried. The dynamic management views work in much the same way. The two that are most relevant to index structures and usage are dm_db_index_physical_stats and dm_db_index_operational_stats.
The dm_db_index_physical_stats view will replace DBCC SHOWCONTIG and will provide information about fragmentation, index depth, and space usage. You'll be able to pass parameters indicating which tables or indexes you're interested in and how detailed you want the results to be. The dm_db_index_operational_stats view will provide information about how a specified index has been used, including details about the number of table scans, index seeks, and index key updates. In addition, this view will report how much time was spent waiting for locks on index keys to be released.
4. New Storage Structures
One of the new storage structures that I plan to investigate is actually a combination of existing data types. In SQL Server 2005, when you declare a column in a table to be varchar(MAX), SQL Server will let you store anything from an empty string with 0 bytes of data to a column with as many bytes as the system can handle (currently 2GB in SQL Server 2005, though it might increase in future versions). If the data is small enough to fit in the row, SQL Server will store the data as a regular varchar column; if the data is too large to fit in the row, SQL Server will store it as large-object (LOB) data (text, ntext, or image). The great thing is that you can use the normal string manipulation operators to work with the data, no matter how big it is. You'll never have to deal with the subtleties of readtext, writetext, or updatetext.
5. Optimizer Enhancements
SQL Server 2005 includes many internal changes to the query optimizer, many of which Microsoft won't explicitly document. (I'll do my best in upcoming articles to tell you all about the most useful of these changes.) One optimizer enhancement that will be documented is the ability to force only one statement to be recompiled (when your performance testing deems that doing so would be helpful).
The only option that SQL Server 2000 provides is to force an entire stored procedure to be recompiled, no matter how many statements it contains. In SQL Server 2005, a new RECOMPILE hint lets you recompile one query among many. Another new hint, OPTIMIZE FOR, lets you specify a variable value that will be considered for a variable during optimization. (Typically, variable values are unknown during optimization and compilation, so the query optimizer frequently generates suboptimal plans for queries in which variables are involved.)
6. New Isolation Level
I'll probably focus most of my testing and writing on a new isolation level called Snapshot Isolation, which will let SQL Server maintain transactional consistency and avoid conflicts without resorting to blocking. With this new isolation level, processes that are writing data will never block processes that are trying to read that data, and vice versa.
7. Backup and Restore Enhancements
SQL Server 2005 will feature quite a few enhancements to both backup and restore operations; I'll mention just a couple. First, you'll be able to do any backup operation concurrently with any other backup operation. For example, a backup of the database won't prevent a regularly scheduled log backup from occurring. Second, for the purpose of increasing availability, the restore process will let a user into a database much more quickly. You might be aware that SQL Server needs to recover a database after the data is loaded, and recovery consists of a roll-forward phase (i.e., redoing any completed transactions) and a rollback phase (i.e., undoing any transactions that weren't committed). In SQL Server 2005, the database will be usable as soon as the roll-forward phase is finished.
8. Database Snapshots
Another upcoming high-availability feature is database snapshots. A database snapshot will let you efficiently maintain a read-only copy of a database at any point in time. You'll be able to have multiple snapshots of any database, keep track of how the database changes over time, and quickly revert to an earlier point when the need arises.
9. Improved Security Model
Many changes to the SQL Server security model are in store. I described several of these in "Inside SQL Server 2005 Security," May 2004; see that article for more information about these upcoming security enhancements.
10. Improvements in the Tools
Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager will be combined into one tool called SQL Server Management Studio. The Index Tuning Wizard will be replaced by the Database Tuning Advisor, which is a full-fledged application rather than just a wizard. SQL Server Profiler will still be called Profiler but will simplify how you define which data columns on which events you want to capture and how you want to apply filters. The tracing engine behind Profiler will also be a lot more sophisticated. You'll be able to capture query plans and deadlock traces in XML files, which you then can use to display either the Query Plan or the deadlock chain in a graphical format.
Just for Starters
You may be aware of other new SQL Server enhancements that I haven't mentioned yet, but these 10 are the ones that have the strongest and most immediate grip on my interest. These features are just the tip of the iceberg for SQL Server 2005, but they should be enough to keep us busy for a while.

Stagger Lee Saturdays - Dr. John
Dr. John (born Mac Rebennack) is best known for his cult voodoo album Gris-Gris, released in 1968. Or he was until 2005, when he became the most prominent musician to hold benefits and charity events for his home state of Louisiana (which he's still actively doing to this day).
Go back a week, and listen to Archibald's version of this. Now listen to this one, recorded 22 years later. Not much difference, except of course for Dr. John's vocal style (which I can't get enough of).

I have to say, I keep listening to these different versions and I still consider the Lloyd Price version my favorite (in no small part for sentimental reasons), followed very closely by the Taj Mahal version. Nothing wrong with some Dr. John, but this style doesn't suit the story for me. BTW, I've always figured Dr. John is just the Louisiana Billy Joel. I expect that just made you very angry.

C'mon... I know Billy Joel has had some missteps (and pop-style songs you are obligated to hate), but you cannot even appreciate Pianoman... even with its Simonesque story telling/turn of phrase? Or River of Dreams (another song that would have been at home on a Paul Simon album). Of course, I haven't even mentioned the theme song to Bosom Buddies.

Lot # 50 (of 1137) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1888 N172 Old Judge Hugh Duffy SGC EX/NM 80 - Highest Graded!
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $2,963
Graded EX/NM 80 by SGC. Highest-graded example out of forty-six cards evaluated to date. This is an incredible card! N172 Old Judge of Chicago White Stockings Hall of Famer Hugh Duffy (pose #135-3). Stunning ultra high-grade example with 1888 copyright, dating to Duffy's earliest days as a Major Leaguer before he established himself as a future Hall of Famer. Hugh Duffy is credited with one of the greatest single seasons in the history of baseball. Not only did he bat a record .440 in 1894 (a season-high that still stands to this day!), but he also hit 18 home runs and knocked in 145 RBIs, both incredible numbers at the time, which would have been good enough to win the Triple Crown if not for Sam Thompson notching just a few more RBIs. Duffy was a baseball man at heart with a nearly uninterrupted career spanning 68 years (1886-1953) as a player, manager, and scout. Superb photo quality and centering, no creases, four square corners with just a hint of extremely light, even corner wear. The left border of the card is particularly large, the result of a natural slant cut, very common among Old Judges. This is a very crisp, clean, simply outstanding N172 example of Hall of Famer Hugh Duffy from his rookie season with a striking image quality and in a well-deserved extremely high grade. Rarely does one see an Old Judge of Hugh Duffy that holds a candle to this gem. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500++. SOLD FOR $2,963

Rapid and chronic tolerance appear to operate via different neurobiological mechanisms and genes
"Alcohol tolerance" refers to the diminishing physiological, behavioral and subjective effects of alcohol that occur with repeated exposure to the drug. A study in the October issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research uses flies to define the genetic and mechanistic underpinnings of different forms of tolerance.
"Tolerance is important and relevant to human drinking because its development both promotes and facilitates increasing intake of alcohol," said Karen H. Berger, senior scientist at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center. "Rapid and chronic tolerance are produced by different types of previous experience with alcohol. 'Rapid tolerance' results from a single intoxicating dose, whereas 'chronic tolerance' is produced by repeated or continuous exposure to alcohol over longer periods of time."
"Theories about the root causes of alcoholism often invoke the development of tolerance as an important event," added John Crabbe, director of the Portland Alcohol Center. "For example, if one must keep drinking more in order to get the same happy feeling, it is easy to see how with greater tolerance there could be a greater chance of developing into a problem drinker. Also, anyone who has developed enough of a drinking problem to earn a diagnosis of alcohol dependence or alcoholism has developed a great deal of chronic tolerance. Thus, tolerance is not only a part of the diagnostic criteria for alcohol dependence and alcoholism, but it may also be important for understanding the changes in brain mechanisms that lead some to develop problems with alcohol."
"The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most intensively studied organisms in biology, and has provided essential insights into developmental and cellular processes that are shared with higher animals, including humans," said Berger. "Flies have a relatively sophisticated nervous system and are capable of many well-characterized complex behaviors, including response to drugs of abuse such as alcohol, cocaine, PCP, and nicotine. The popularity of flies as a model system is in large part due to the availability of powerful genetic tools that enable the identification and analysis of genes. Additionally, flies can be grown for experiments relatively rapidly and inexpensively."
For this study, researchers exposed flies to either a single intoxicating dose of alcohol (rapid tolerance), or to a low concentration of alcohol continuously during a 48-hour period (chronic tolerance). Tolerance was measured based on increased speed of recovery from subsequent intoxication relative to alcohol-naïve controls, and also by a second assay measuring delayed onset of intoxication.
"In flies, like mammals, we have found that different types of alcohol exposure can produce tolerance," said Berger. "Most strikingly, our results suggest that there are differences in the mechanisms underlying tolerance produced by different protocols of previous alcohol exposure. First, pre-treatment with a drug inhibiting protein synthesis blocked the development of chronic but not of rapid tolerance. Second, a fly mutant that lacks octopamine – a neuromodulator that serves as the fly version of norepinephrine – showed reduced rapid tolerance but unchanged chronic tolerance. In sum, two different lines of experiments provide pharmacological and genetic support for the idea that rapid and chronic tolerance may utilize at least partially distinct pathways in flies."
"The most provocative result in this study is the suggestion that rapid and chronic tolerance are mechanistically distinct," said Crabbe. "This is interesting because the rodent literature suggests that … rapid and chronic tolerance appear likely to represent early and later versions of the same set of brain adaptations to alcohol. The second finding of interest concerns mutant flies with a defective ability to produce octopamine. By testing flies with mutations for many other genes, the authors will be able to test more rigorously their suggestion that different genetic pathways underlie these two forms of tolerance."
Crabbe had specific suggestions for future research in this area. "The authors of this study distinguish between two types of alcohol tolerance, rapid and chronic," he said. "There is a third general type of tolerance which occurs during a single exposure to alcohol, acute functional tolerance, which was not studied here." All three types have been demonstrated in humans, he added.
"If researchers could develop an assay for acute functional tolerance in flies, they would then have a complete set of behavioral assays in parallel to those who work with rodents," said Crabbe. "Then, given the spectacular power of fly genetics, they could analyze the genetic contributions to these three types of tolerance with a thoroughness and speed that greatly outstrips the abilities of those scientists using rodents. By identifying specific genes and pathways, they could settle for once and for all whether these are simply way stations on a single continuum of neural adaptation, or three different sets of brain adaptations of alcohol. In the end, the goal is to move beyond our current understanding, that is, that some humans possess a genetically influenced tendency to develop alcoholism and others do not. The great similarity among the genomes of flies, mice and humans may very well help us to do so."

BBC News Online is reporting that Peter Molyneux, the man behind Black & White, The Movies, Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Magic Carpet, and about a dozen other games of note, is urging the British government to provide financial aid to independent games developers unable to cope with the wallet drains associated with big development, which can demand between 2 and 40 million dollars per title.
According to the article, Molyneux wants the government to step-up and assist games developers in the UK similarly to how it provides monetary support for struggling film makers. The article cites examples such as Red Lemon, Crawfish and Runecraft, all studios either bankrupt or enveloped by an industry that costs to much to break into, as plenty of reason why some people need more money.
Peter Molyneux:
- "Making a computer game now is incredibly expensive. You're talking about millions and millions of pounds to make a triple-A, globally successful game. A few developers are really, really struggling."
The article and a very down-to-earth Molyneux go on to justify the proposal with potential revenue gains. Additionally, he believe funding the unfunded will help keep the industry fresh, since it's his firm belief that creativity comes from independence and the minds of the few whom are not yet embroiled with developing commercial hit after commercial hit.

Ratings for Dr. Germaine V. Green
I have been seeing Dr. Green for many years now and my kids just love her!! She is a very kind and compassionate doctor. Her office has been very courteous and I can always get an appointment when my child is sick. She always answers all my questions and I feel much better when I leave. I would recommend her to all my friends and family.
Dr. Green is a wonderful caring doctor that has cared for my kids since their birth, though it is these days hard to see her since she has a different schedule these days.Her office is small and there is a long waiting time, but I never regret it. She takes her time with you and never leaves without answering all your questions.
I have no complaints about the doctor herself, she's very nice, great with kids, and returns emergency phone calls promptly. Scheduling an appointment is another story. Don't be surprised to be told that the next available date for your child's annual check-up is more than two months out. Once there, don't be surprised to wait over an hour after your scheduled time to be seen for that appointment. Even that wouldn't be so bad if the waiting room weren't crowded, every seat taken, several by visibly ill children. No attempt to separate ill children is made, and you'll be sitting next to them for a while. I'm just happy that the appointment was well ahead of flu season.
Dr. Green is a wonderful Pediatrician! I would recommend her to all Mothers seeking a caring and knowledgeable Dr. My children have been seeing her for over two years and I really love her. She is also a wonderful person and empathizes with parents; especially if you are a new parent. Her staff is caring and attempts to help parents in the best manner they can. Unfortunately, some of us parents are pushy and this makes it difficult for them to assist us. Yet, they are very good at what they do and I really like them.
Dr Green is one of the most caring doctors that I have ever met. She is extremely knowledgable and takes a lot of time explaining all the questions that we have. The office has always been nice to our family and you can get in the same day with a sick child. Although the office is busy it is well worth the wait for the attention you receive
Dr. Green is very popular, and unfortunately, overbooked. She's sweet as pie, seems great with kids, and knows her stuff. However, the office staff at the Glendale office on Central didn't seem happy to be there, and were less than helpful. Nurses were extremely busy, and seemed distracted. Even with one of the first appts of the day, visits were running 20+ minutes behind schedule - much worse later in the day. Definitely call ahead to see how long the wait is... hopefully the office staff will be willing to give you an estimate.

Albany � The St. Regis Mohawks' recent move to fast-track its Catskill casino plans might have backfired, according to a top federal official.
Last week, the tribe abandoned a plan to develop a casino at Kutsher's Sports Academy in favor of Monticello Raceway.
But the Kutsher's site is closer to federal approval than the Raceway site, which is "in the earliest stages of review," said Sue Ellen Woodridge, solicitor for the U.S. Department of Interior, in a letter to tribal Chief Jim Ransom.
That letter, dated Wednesday, conflicts with a Sept. 9 letter from Interior Deputy Assistant Secretary George Skibine indicating the April 2000 federal approval of the Monticello Raceway site was still valid. He said the governor's signature was needed.
Relying on Skibine's letter, tribal representatives and Sullivan County government, business and labor leaders rallied in Albany yesterday to persuade the governor to sign off on the Monticello site.
"Mr. Pataki, sir, the ball is in your court," said tribal Chief Lorraine White outside Pataki's Capitol office yesterday. "Make this happen."
Wooldridge's letter Wednesday indicates otherwise. It notes the application for the Mohawks' proposed casino at Kutsher's already has been approved by Interior's regional office. The Monticello Raceway plans, which were "withdrawn and recently resubmitted," are in "the earliest stages of review by the regional office," the letter said.
The Interior Department approved the Raceway site in April 2000 for a Mohawk casino but days later, tribal leaders abandoned those plans in favor of developing at Kutsher's with gaming giant Park Place Entertainment (now Harrah's Entertainment).
Skibine's letter indicated the 2000 approval is still valid.
White said the tribe relied on Skibine's letter when it formally withdrew the Kutsher's site application last week. Yesterday, the tribe disputed Wooldridge's contentions in a fax to Interior, White said.
"It is my hope this is a massive, incredible misunderstanding on the part of the solicitor and her staff," White said. "The facts � are plain wrong."
White and Chief Barbara Lazore support the Monticello Raceway project. Ransom supports the Kutsher's site and called the decision by the other two chiefs ill-conceived.
"It would have been wiser and better if they were so adamant in pursuing the racetrack to just put the Kutsher's site on the back burner for a couple of months rather than abandon it altogether," Ransom said. "To just throw away our $23 million investment and five and a half years of effort when there are still many roadblocks to overcome at the racetrack is irresponsible."
