Best Luxury Hotels On Oahu
The packed beaches and mega-resorts of Waikiki tend to be most popular with budget travelers and families. But luxury travelers who like Oahu for its familiarity and convenience will still find a handful of posh havens amid the hubbub.
The Kahala Hotel & Resort
Honolulu, Oahu
Kahala's location in a ritzy Honolulu neighborhood -- away from the chaos of Waikiki -- makes it the most serene luxury option on the island. It's also the best. Its phenomenal service truly separates it from its competitors: at check-in guests are greeted with leis and cool washcloths; staff members address you by name throughout your stay (impressive for a 338-room property); and additional thoughtful touches include daily newspapers delivered in blue cotton bags and ice buckets that get refilled at turndown. The elegant rooms feature enormous flat-screen TVs, balconies, and some of the best bathrooms we've ever seen.
Halekulani Hotel
Waikiki, Oahu
"Halekulani" translates to "house befitting heaven," and the hotel's clean lines, meticulous service, and serene, whitewashed ambience all live up to the property's name. Service is formal, thorough, and discreet; guests are personally escorted to rooms for check-in, lavished with welcome fruits and chocolates, and left little gifts each night on their pillows. The large, well-equipped rooms (renovated in 2012) reflect the understated luxury of the rest of the hotel.
The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki
Waikiki, Oahu
Built in 1927, the iconic "Pink Palace of the Pacific" is easily the most recognizable hotel on Oahu -- and, decades later, still one of the most luxurious. Guests receive the hotel's signature drink, a pink hibiscus elixir, upon check-in, and our reporter found complimentary banana bread waiting for him when he arrived in his room. Free limo service delivers guests anywhere in the local area between 2 and 8 p.m., and nightly turndown service is accompanied by chocolates or mints, a bottle of water, and a postcard with historical facts about the hotel. Be sure to book in the historical wing for classier, recently renovated rooms.
Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach
Waikiki, Oahu
Built in the late 19th century and opened in 1901, the "First Lady of Waikiki" is characterized by its plantation-style grandeur and impressive public spaces, including a gorgeous outdoor courtyard shaded by a historic banyan tree and an enormous new spa and fitness center. As the area's first hotel, the Moana long ago staked its claim on one of the most picturesque stretches of Queens Beach, which today enables it to offer guests a private, cordoned-off piece of sand. Rooms are on the small side, but Westin's signature "Heavenly Beds" are super luxurious and service is warm.
JW Marriott Ihilani Resort And Spa At Ko Olina
Situated on the largest of Ko Olina's man-made lagoons, this elegant, self-contained resort far from the bustle of Waikiki features a top-rated golf course; a highly acclaimed signature restaurant, Azul; perfect turquoise water; and impeccably groomed grounds. Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms all come with balconies and 50-gallon soaking tubs, and service is welcoming and thorough. The resort is even more pleasant now that construction of the Disney Vacation Club next door is complete; rooms are also improved after undergoing a full face-lift in 2010.
Grand Waikikian by Hilton Grand Vacations
Waikiki, Oahu
The all-suite Grand Waikikian is the newest, and most luxurious, tower at the 3,000-room Hilton Hawaiian Village, and feels a world away from the rest of the frenetic resort. Its time-share condo units are chock full of new luxury amenities, including high-end kitchens, soaking tubs, Bosch washers and dryers, and flat-screen TVs with surround sound. The staff is a little hands-off, but generally friendly and helpful.

Are you? Yeah. Me too.
For those who don't know, who live under a rock or whatever, the Fixx will be performing the entire Reach the Beach album in celebration of its 35th anniversary this summer
Luckily, I got my ticket. They sold very fast.
I wonder if there will be encore songs, perhaps "Going Overboard"?

|Self Portrait, 1739, John Smibert
Ever wonder who the first professional painter was on these shores? His name was John Smibert. Born in Scotland in 1688, he studied in Italy before establishing a portrait studio London. Painting in a Baroque style, he was unhappy with the stiff competition there, so he moved to Boston hoping to become a drawing instructor at a college in Bermuda. When the British Parliament failed to fund the venture however, he decided to remain in New England where he found patronage among the emerging affluence of the merchant society.
In 1730, Smibert was the first to hold an art exhibition in the colonies and by the time he retired in 1746, he had painted over 250 portraits, indicating a level of production and patronage previously unknown in the American Colonies. Even after his death, his art gallery in Boston was a cultural center, doing much to elevate the knowledge of art in the area.

What should the core values of your company be? Being a HUGE comic buff, I took this question as an opportunity to frame our mission and values within the metaphor of an epic adventure. So here is the list of my company's core values, thanks to the wisdom and characteristics of our favorite superheroes — values all entrepreneurs can look to when they need some extra strength:
- Superheroes never give up. Like Batman, you have to keep pressing on to the very last breath. Challenges are overcome by wholeheartedly committing to unrelenting persistence.
- Superheroes always get the job done. There are no excuses if you don't save the girl from the burning house. There are just results, not reasons — you either save the day or you don't. Gray area is for Kafka — not comic heroes.
- Superheroes are the best at what they do. Flash is the fastest, and we all know it. If you're the back-end developer, you are the best developer in the world, and everyone on your team knows it. Let great talent excel in areas where their superpowers are most needed.
- Superheroes are crystal clear of their purpose. Captain Marvel may be a cheeseball, but he knows what he stands for. Startups die when they are not clear on their mission.
- Superheroes are NOT flawless. Superheroes have flaws, and every member of your team will also. The goal is not perfection; it's the pursuit of perfection.
- Superheroes do not seek glory — but they get it anyway. Don't do it because you want the attention. If you do it right, you'll get it anyway.
- Superheroes help others. Superheroes help people by solving problems. Startups should be obsessed NOT with themselves, but with how they are going to help other people and solve their issues.
- Superheroes can do it by themselves, but are more powerful in teams. You always have to have each other's back. It's you versus the world, so bringing together your own team of superheroes — and the mutual respect, loyalty, and camaraderie of that team — is vital.
- Superheroes' true strength comes from their character. No matter how super you think you are, your strength comes from your character, not your talent. Be courageous, be respectful, be honorable, be selfless.
- Superheroes accomplish huge feats. The same effort it takes to start a lemonade stand or college club is the same raw effort it takes to change the world. Your goal is not to build a product or get traffic; your goal is to accomplish the most amazing feat imaginable. Make the product, save the world.

Cookbook:Ceviche of White Fish (Cebiche de Pescado)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes | Cuisine of Peru
|Ceviche of White Fish (Cebiche de Pescado)
|Appetizer recipes
|3 hours
- 4 pounds (1.8 kg) of white fish (mahi mahi is an excellent choice)
- juice from about 8 large limes
- 3 red peppers, diced
- 3 finely diced jalapeño peppers (to your preference)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 large onions, sliced into half-rings
- bunch of finely chopped cilantro
- Sides
- 3 lettuce leaves per plate
- 16 to 24 corn cobs cut into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces, cooked as usual
- 5 or 6 sweet potatoes, boiled and peeled
- Wash and de-bone the fish and cut them into ½ inch x ½ inch (about 1 cm x 1 cm) chunks.
- Season the fish with salt, pepper, red pepper and jalapeño. Marinate the fish for 1 hour to "cold cook". You should have enough lime juice to completely cover the fish.
- Add onion. Mix gently. Marinate for 1 more hour.
- Serve on a bed of lettuce and add two pieces of corn on the cob and a portion of sweet potato.
- Ceviche (an alternate spelling) can be eaten as an entrée as well. In this case, this will be enough for about two people.
- More traditional recipes call for much less marinating. In fact, some will marinate it for as little as 10 minutes total (basically just the time it takes to get the sides ready). If marinating for a small amount of time be aware that the acidity of the lime is the only thing that "cooks" the fish.

A malt mate of mine, Peaty Paterson, sent me two 50ml plastic bottles of single malt that were poured from regular sized bottles, both unfortunately poured from the bottom of the bottles, which means the whiskies in the sample bottles were bereft of the fresh aromas and flavours that usually accompany a newly opened bottle. Sampling the heavily oxidized dregs at the bottom of the bottle is not a fair way to sample any single malt. Pouring the single malt into plastic bottles instead of glass doesn't help either. But that's what I've got, so bear with me…
First up is the Singleton 12 (of Glendullan) bottled at 40% alc. First impression: Nothing special. Not much complexity. Too bad it's so oxidized. This sample tastes old and a bit flat. If I stick my nose deep in the glass, I pick up some sherry and citrus, a distant similarity to Aberfeldy 12 but not as smooth or rich. Not much happening in the palate or the finish. No exceptional smoke or peat. For complexity, it's in the Glenlivet 12 territory but I'd probably think better of it if I wasn't tasting the bottom of the bottle. Judging from this first impression, even though the sampling isn't ideal, I wouldn't seek it out.
Moving on to bottle #2: Amrut Fusion, a single malt whisky from India bottled at 50% alc. What the hell is that on the nose? I imagine it would pack a punch if the sample was taken near the top of the bottle. What a shame. An odd mix of beef barley soup and flowers. Maybe oak? None of the rounded sweetness I get from sherry, but not harsh. It's sharp on the tongue but it doesn't burn. I don't know what I'm tasting. Unsweetened baker's chocolate and cognac? A spicey but smooth finish. Lingers on the tongue. It just stays there and then takes on a roasted chestnut flavour. A splash of water opens up the nose, more floral, still nutty, smooth spice. Gets better in the glass after 15 or 20 minutes, more rounded sensations. I wouldn't pay top dollar for Amrut Fusion just yet, but I like it.
NOV. 18/13: I picked up a bottle of Amrut Fusion a while back and it's not as smooth or as complex as the dram I first sampled. It's not bad, but even after getting half way down the bottle, it doesn't seem to have the same barley soup and roasted chestnut flavour I noticed before. At 50% alcohol, perhaps I need to keep the bottle uncorked for a couple hours to mellow it out. I've tried it with varying amounts of water and I can't get it to open up much. Strange and disappointing.
JAN. 30/15: I had some more Amrut Fusion last night. It still seems to lack the barely soup flavour it had the first time I tried it, but it's not as disappointing as it was before. I added more water this time and left it for about ten minutes to open up. The nose was almost like apple cider. Although it lacked complexity, the flavour was slightly sweet and smooth. It's a quality single malt.

The main idea I want to have is a backup script run rsync to copy my /home/.Private/user directory off to another server. This would allow the backup script to have no knowledge of the data, but mean the remote backups would be secure. That way I don't need to worry about what happens to them. I can hopefully restore the machine by recreating a user with the same UID on a new build of a machine then copying the data back over.
I'm just wondering if there are some hidden things required... or am I being naive with it's simplicity!

A North Laurel man accused of assaulting, imprisoning and threatening to kill a woman in his home was arrested on Main Street in Laurel by Howard County police Thursday afternoon.
Taylor King Pepe, 19, of the 8300 block of Sand Cherry Lane in Laurel, was arrested in connection with the alleged assault of a woman, who police did not identify.
According to the release, police were called around 3:45 a.m. Thursday to Howard County General Hospital, where the victim reported to detectives that Pepe had assaulted her inside his home.
Police said detectives believe that during the assault, Pepe, who has in his possession an assault rifle-style weapon, threatened to kill the victim and ordered her not to leave the house.
Pepe did not have the assault rifle on his person when arrested, police said.
The victim, who police said had injuries to her face and body, resides elsewhere and was visiting the house.
The victim was able to escape, contact a friend and make her way to the hospital, police said. A police tactical team served a search warrant at Pepe's residence earlier on Thursday, but no one was home at the time.
Police arrested Pepe at 2:45 p.m. on Main Street in Laurel.

Liberty News
Timberlake Christian students say thanks for LU scholarships
If the Liberty University campus looks even more pristine than usual, it's because more than 15 seniors from a local Christian school were on garbage patrol Tuesday afternoon.
Armed with trash bags and long-handled pick-up tools, the students from Timberlake Christian Schools in Forest, Va., collected stray litter on university grounds to show their appreciation for a special scholarship to Liberty that a majority of the 21 students in their graduating class will use.
Seniors who attend Timberlake Christian Schools for four years get a 75 percent discount to LU, explained school principal Fred Heppding.
"We thought this would be an opportunity to show our appreciation," said 18-year-old Heather Thomas, who will major in nursing at LU this fall.
Timberlake students have received the scholarship for many years — but they wanted to do something unique this year to express their gratitude.
"We are impressed by Timberlake's act of appreciation today. That says a lot for the school," said LU Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr.
David Hamel, a 1983 Liberty University alumnus who sent his children to Timberlake Christian Schools, helped organize the project.

Hot on the heels of the Mohammad Ashraful interview by Utpal Shuvro, we now present his successor's interview also courtesy of Prathom Alo. This interview of new captain Mashrafe Mortaza was taken by Tariq Mahmud and first published in Bangla.
A conversation with Mashrafe Mortaza
by Tariq Mahmud
Published: 12th July, 2009
Translated by Zunaid Kazi
From the days of playing neighborhood cricket, where the dressing
rooms were the shadows cast by mango trees, he is today, the captain of the national
team with the responsibility of leading Bangladesh cricket. In this interview
taken by Tarek Mahmud of Prathom Alo, Mortaza talks about his becoming captain,
his dreams and his aspirations.
Mashrafe Mortaza
Tarek Mahmud (TM): You had given a statement immediately after assuming
captaincy. You've now had some time to reflect on this.  I'm sure you have
received many congratulations since. So, how are you feeling now?
Mashrafe Mortaza (MM): To me, of course, it's a great feeling. To
be honest, I never really had any dreams of being the Bangladesh captain.
Just playing the game gives me much pleasure. My friend Razu rang me up the
evening of the announcement. After the chat, it did start to feel good
now that I am the captain of the national team. Once upon a time, at Narail,
our dressing room was beneath the shades of a mango tree. Right about when I started
playing for the Narail cricket club. We would all go down to watch if a player from Dhaka came down to play a
second division match. It's huge that someone from that situation is not only playing for the national team but is the captain. I believe this is a great achievement for Narail.
TM: As captain, do you have a few words for your teammates?
MM: I want to see each and every player working hard. If
they cannot do something that's one thing but it is dismaying to see if they don't
even try. I want everyone to try hard and work hard. My goal is to see that
each player is very self-confident and puts in his best effort in all situations – even during the last ball of a losing match; or the last ball of a winning
match. Say the team is in dire states and wickets are falling – we still must
not lose our self-confidence. I will always want this attitude from the team.
TM: You said that you never had any dreams of being a
captain. What were your goals when you started playing cricket?
MM: Honestly, how well did I really know cricket when
I was young? I used to hear that perhaps McGrath was the world's best bowler.
On ESPN, I would see that so and so was number three. I used to think then that
it would be a great achievement if I could break into the top ten bowler's
TM: You have tons of friends and you are like a leader to
them. Then why did you have this lack of desire to being captain? Is it not the
fact that Mashrafe should naturally have this leadership capability?
MM: Frankly, I never mixed my personal life with my cricketing
life. Â But if that comes over, it will be a plus point for me. I have about
60-70 boys who listen to me. They listen not because I play for the national
team; they listen because I've had a great rapport with them since we were
young. But that doesn't mean that they now have to listen to everything I say.
I want that the players understand. If they can't, I am confident that I can
make then understand. I am the national captain, not the captain of something else. What I want is for any player, whether a five-year old or a thirty-five
year old, to be able to come to me and be able to speak openly and be able to say "I
have a problem and I need help".
TM: How important is captaincy off the field?
MM:  Extremely important. If a player does poorly, he becomes mentally weak.
He will sulk and mope in his room all day. It's very important to give
him courage and mental strength. Now, I may not be able to stay over at his
house, but I can at least talk to him and help reduce his mental anguish. A
captain can't bring back a player's self-confidence to full-strength, but a big
part of the confidence can come from the captain.
TM: Ian Chappell recently said that Bangladesh
is a spineless team. It really doesn't matter who their captain is.  What's
your response to that?
 MM: They are all big players. It is easy for them to make
comments like these. If people can take this [Chappell's comments] easily,
fine… We are really not performing well. But, still, it's easy to talk. Did
they never play poorly? When they don't like someone, they will go ahead and
judge. That's because they are no longer playing. With all due respect to Chappell,
all teams were like this at the beginning. Perhaps it is taking us a little bit
longer. We won't just turn into a great team on the basis of his comments. It's easy
to say but it's hard to do.
TM: You have played under many different captains in the
national team. You recently played under Brendon McCullum in the IPL. Who do
you like best as captain?
MM: (Laughs) it's a little bit difficult for me to answer
this question. I bowl at a specific spot on the pitch and I have always been
targeting this same spot. Consequently, I personally have no problems.  Yeah, I have had off
times too.  But that's all because of me. One can't ever say that this
captain's time has passed or that captain's time has passed.
TM: Who is your favorite captain in international cricket?
MM:Â Sourav Ganguly. But he had Sachin Tendulkar; he had
Laxman, Dravid, and Harbhajan. Along with this experienced batch he also had
some talented youngsters. And they performed. On top of this, Sourav is an
aggressive and positive captain. In a way, Dhoni is a tad bit lucky but to be a
good captain you have to ride your luck. In international cricket, I have to
say that Vettori has to be the best captain.
TM: What skills must a good captain have?
MM: The best captain is the one who can manage his players
well. One who can ensure that the players are happy with their captain. No
player, big or small, must feel that the captain dislikes him. He must be friendly
with the players so that they can open up to his captain. This is very
important. The captain must also ensure that each and every player is physically and
mentally fit. And most important of all, the captain himself must perform. If
you don't fix yourself you can't fix anyone else. This holds true for one's
character too….
TM: We've heard a little bit about your "wild†side.
In your personal life, you tend to be very boisterous – that's what we've
heard. I'm sure you have changed yourself a lot over time; and now you are
captain. How have you managed the change?
MM: Actually, I don't ever want to change this part of me. I
like it just as it is. Everyone does say that I will have to change. I don't believe it.
These changes did not bring me success. I have noticed that every time I get more
disciplined, I get injured. I don't want to have to be super cautious. They scold
me at home, "…Why are you still playing soccer?  Why do you do all these things
when you return to Narail?†But, I know one thing for sure. If I don't do all
this I do, I will surely get injured on the field. But yes, there has
been one change. When I first started going to the gym, I used to wonder why should I? I
was young, didn't know much. I now know the importance of going to the gym.
Maybe it is too late now, but it is because of what I do (at the gym) that I
can still play. My many injuries brought about this change. After 4 operations, I now
know what the game is. I now know what I need to do to keep playing the game.
TM: But don't you think other changes should occur? The team
will be looking up to you, wanting to follow you…
MM:Â I believe a captain must stay away from what is bad - those things that have a negative influence on your
game. If you misbehave with someone, that someone will be hurt. As a human
being, it's not right and our cricketers too don't act like this. I will say this again, it's not right to act in a hurtful way to other players and I hope I will refrain from it. Another thing – it's
also not right to be disparaging. One should be constructive in criticism; to
get something good, but there is no reason to put anyone down. If I have a tendency
towards being disparaging, I will try my utmost to ensure that this doesn't
happen again.
TM: Your current assignment is to lead the West Indies and
Zimbabwe tours. But there have been much talk about the team and the captain
ahead of this tour. There has been only limited time towards bringing the team
together and bringing back the focus to cricket. The challenge seems enormous…
MM: I will sit down with everyone and try to settle the
issues. I will try to motivate everyone. Given the attitude of our boys, I
believe this won't be too difficult. What may be difficult is to fix our
performance. If we start fixing some of the smaller problems, we can start to expect
better results.
TM: I assume you expect more support from your predecessor
Mohammad Ashraful?
MM: Of course. I have said this in the past and I will say it
again, Ashraful is a major force in Bangladesh cricket. I don't know how others
feel about it, but If he is in the team we feel strengthened. Yes, every one is
saying he is not scoring runs anymore. What would really happen if he did? Well
if he scores, we win. Ashraful's presence energizes the team. His role is very
TM: The captain has to perform. But it can also happen that
the pressure of captaincy can negtively affect your performance. How worried are you
about this?
MM: Yes, even a captain can lose his form. But even if he loses
his form, he must still have command of his players. I have said this earlier, being a captain was not one of my dreams. If I begin to realize that the pressure is getting to me, that I can't seem to keep command of the team or that I can't perform then there is no reason to hold on to this. I will not do so. If I can't command, I will surely stand down.
TM: What is your target for this first assignment?
MM: Of course, we all want to return victorious. However, given the current state of the team, it is extremely important for us to get our self-confidence back - all sorts of self confidence. We have actually not been playing badly as a team. We played well during the Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka series just before the T20 World Cup. Even the World Cup tour started well. But the loss to Ireland – this one really got us down. If we can get back the team's self-confidence, I am sure we will do well. By doing well I mean competing well. I am not saying that we will be winning a series overnight, but I do believe that if we play well, good results will surely follow.
TM: How about a few words for the fans. How confident are you of meeting the fans' expectations?
MM: People don't ride rickshaw out there (outside Bangladesh). They ride taxis. They come home in the comfort of a taxi and listen to the commentary over food. Our rickshawallas and vanwallas will slog all day just to earn 10 takas. They spend this hard-earned money on cricket. The young kids too have hopes and desires. Their dream – they will be great cricketers one day. But in the end, when we lose, they all are all agonized. 160 million Bangladeshis feel the pain. The players feel the pain too. We lost because of us. Everyone experiences the anguish. But we can't blame anyone else. We have to do what we have to do.
Only we can play well, only we can win and only we can make the fans happy. This responsibility is ours. I think the players need to understand
that whether we play a 5 over game or a 20 over game, all eyes are upon us.
Cricket has come a long way in our country. We can still
find a large number of fans in the gallery the day after a horrible outing. They might curse us, but they still do come out to watch.

It has been such a long time since I've been able to stop by here to make an update! I recently closed a few fanlistings and tided up the theme and information here on my collective. I also applied for one fanlisting which I'd love to run. I hope to be more active around here but if I'm not you can always find me over on tumblr, which at the moment is rebecca-sutter (but is usually caitlin-snow).

Why I Am Applying for an Executive Director Position at Goldman Sachs
There's an opening at Goldman Sachs, and I'm the man for the job!
After exploring the career section of Goldman Sachs' (GS) website, I have concluded that a career in investment banking is right for me.
Minyanville can be pretty cool. We have a fun office environment, a great location in Manhattan near Gramercy park, and a ping-pong table.
That said, I need to make more money -- no models & bottles on this guy's salary!
So I've decided to write an open letter to CEO Lloyd Blankfein in the hope that he might consider taking me on. Hey, I'm not that bright, but I know how to stand out.
Dear Lloyd,
I would like to transition to a career in investment banking, and given Goldman Sachs' industry-leading position and reputation, it is number-one on my list of potential new employers.
After perusing the career section of your website, I found the perfect opening for a guy like me: executive director, and head of Goldman's US equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Let me be frank: I have no experience as an executive. The only thing I directed was a horror movie back in high school.
I am pretty good with equity derivatives though -- you should see the awesome TBT trade I have going in my Thinkorswim account.
Ultimately, however, I believe I have the right attitude for the job.
First of all, I am an awesome dude.
My proudest moments in life -- getting accepted to Brooklyn College, passing Intro to Chemistry, and competing in countless Wiffle-ball and roller-hockey games, known as the Brooklyn Olympics -- were achieved through pure awesomeness, with no shortcuts.
And more importantly, Lloyd, I know how to keep my mouth shut.
For example, let's say I was to unhappily quit the firm after, I don't know, 12 years.
Having likely made millions and millions of dollars working for Goldman, I would never turn around and blast the firm's bad behavior after filling my bank account with the fruits of that bad behavior.
In fact, I would even be willing to sign a contract that would require me to return said millions in the case I was to speak out publicly against the firm in a sanctimonious, self-serving editorial in a major newspaper like the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times.
Heck, you could throw the New York Times on that list for all I care.
You know why, Lloyd?
Because if I were in a hypothetical situation where, I don't know, I was unable to look a sales and trading intern in the eye and say, "This is a great place to work," I would just quit instead of sitting around, continuing to collect huge paychecks.
And if I felt like I worked for a company that not only ripped its clients off but was proud of it, again, I'd quit. I wouldn't take your money and then get all high-and-mighty about your business practices after the fact.
In closing, I would just like to say that I hope this open letter can be a wake-up call to the board of directors.
Culture is everything, and if you pay me enough money, I promise to keep my mouth shut. Because, if I really ever get to the point where I am truly disgusted by Goldman, I promise to quit immediately so I won't bear the burden of taking money from a firm that's business practices I so obviously despise.
Your friend,
PS: Do you guys have a ping-pong table?

Right Side of The Bed - Atreyu
I can see her now
Dancing around, her drink in hand
All her baggage in tow
I just want to f_cking let her go
Of all the joy, all of the pain
I took your guilt and placed it into me
And now I kiss it goodbye
Our last dance ended fatall
Who's sleeping on my side of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard?
Baby you just died
There she goes again
Another masquerade in false circumstance
She'll f_ck you just for the taste
I just wish I could replace all the memories
Of what makes my blood run cold
And as your blood flows through me
I say goodbye to what we had
She came and went
I gnawed through my lip
Makeup smeared in her eyes
Each sob's a reason to say goodbye.
Sometimes when you're holding on
You'll never see the light
With flowers in her hair
I gazed upon with dead lovers eyes
She never looked so good
And I never felt so right

|Alouatta (1)
Howlers are among the largest monkeys in the Americas, and the Guatemalan black howler (Alouatta pigra) is among the largest of the genus (4). The Guatemalan black howler has a notably long, silky, dense coat of black fur with traces of brown on the shoulders, cheeks and back (2) (5). A slight crest exists on the crown, and males over the age of four months have a conspicuous white scrotum (2). The arms and legs are long but stout, and the tail is prehensile, lacks hair on its underside, and is used like a fifth limb to grasp branches and anchor the body (5) (6).
Howlers earn their common name from the remarkably loud, rasping calls or howls that are characteristic of the genus (Alouatta), and emitted most elaborately and loudly by adult males (7) (8). These calls can be heard over several kilometres and serve a range of functions, including territorial advertisement, mate attraction and intimidation of rivals or enemies (7).
Guatemalan black howlers live in stable troops composed of one or two adult males, a few breeding females, and their offspring, with an average group size of between four and six individuals (2) (6). Groups of bachelor males also exist, the members of which will fight resident males for possession of their troop and access to breeding females (6). The territory of each troop ranges between 3 and 25 hectares, depending upon the size of the group (10). Single offspring are usual, born after a gestation period of 180 – 194 days (2).
Leaves and fruit form the bulk of the diet, although flowers and insects may also be eaten. Like other members of its genus, the Guatemalan black howler has large salivary glands that help to break down the tannins in the leaves they eat (6). This monkey is mainly active in the morning and evening, but also remains busy throughout the day (5).
The Guatemalan black howler is found in Belize, northern Guatemala, south-eastern Mexico and possibly northern Honduras (2) (6). This species can often be observed in the vicinity of Mayan archaeological sites (2).
Th Guatemalan black howler is found in primary and secondary lowland tropical rainforest and semi-deciduous forest (2) (6). One survey suggested riverine and seasonally flooded areas are particularly attractive to this species (9). Although primarily arboreal, individuals living in mangrove swamps have occasionally been seen to swim from one small island to another (2).
The Guatemalan black howler is threatened throughout most of its range from hunting and habitat destruction (10). Suitable forest habitat has rapidly been lost and fragmented through conversion to pasture and agricultural lands, and to logging operations (8). If such patterns continue, the population size of this species is projected to decline by around 74% over three generations (30 years) (1).
The Guatemalan black howler is known to occur in six protected areas: Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Guanacaste and Monkey Bay National Parks (Belize); Rio Dulce and Tikal National Parks (Guatemala); and Palenque National Park (Mexico) (2).
Additionally, a community-based conservation organization in Belize called the Community Baboon Sanctuary (this species is called 'baboon' in the local Creole dialect) has protected land along the Belize River, ensuring that this howler's food trees are not destroyed to make way for pasture (10). Over 200 private landowners here in seven villages, stretching over 20 square miles, have voluntarily pledged to conserve their land for the protection of the Guatemalan black howler, many of which will consequently benefit from ecotourism. Indeed, one of the main aims of the Community Baboon Sanctuary is to help address habitat destruction by promoting sustainable tourism as an attractive alternative to destructive land management practices. At the same time, the Sanctuary conducts conservation research and educates the local community and visitors about the importance of biodiversity (8).
Other conservation measures implemented by the Sanctuary include creative initiatives like building bridges made of rope and sticks that allow the monkeys to pass between gaps in the forest, and relocating a number of individuals to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (8). If similar efforts were made in Mexico and Guatemala, and ecotourism was promoted as a viable means of profiting from protected forest habitats, the Guatemalan black howler would perhaps have a much higher chance of long-term survival.

LEXINGTON, Va. – Washington and Lee scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 43 seconds of the first half in posting a 42-23 victory over Shenandoah in ODAC football action on Saturday afternoon at Wilson Field.
The Generals (8-2, 6-1) led just 7-3 late in the first half before senior running back Sasha Vandalov (Vienna, Va./James Madison) capped a 6-play, 62-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run with 43 seconds remaining. The Hornets (1-9, 0-7) fumbled on their own 13-yardline on the first play of the next possession and the Generals assumed a 21-3 lead one play later when junior quarterback Nick Lombardo (Duluth, Ga./Peachtree Ridge) tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Alex Evans (Ashburn, Va./Broad Run) with 26 seconds remaining.
Washington and Lee senior linebacker Zach Zoller (Salem, Va./Roanoke Catholic) intercepted SU senior quarterback Shawn Lloyd (Woodbridge, Va./Thomas Edison) two plays into the third quarter and senior running back Brett Murray (Lookout Mountain, Tenn./Baylor School) scored on a 4-yard touchdown run just 1:56 into the quarter for a 28-3 lead.
Shenandoah found paydirt exactly seven minutes later when first-year running back Andrew Smith (Haymarket, Va./Battlefield) scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, but the Generals retaliated for a 35-10 lead with 13:03 left in the game when Vandalov scored his third touchdown of the game, this time on a 22-yard run.
The Hornets sandwiched a pair of touchdowns around a 3-yard touchdown run by first-year running back Jimmy Moynahan (Sandwich, Mass./Boston College) for the final margin.
W&L totaled 353 yards in the game, amassing just 235 yards on the ground. Vandalov led the way with 79 yards and three touchdowns on 14 carries, while Lombardo gained 59 yards on 15 carries and completed 7-of-9 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown with one interception. Moynahan totaled 35 yards and a score on eight carries.
Senior safety Jake Pelton (Charlottesville, Va./Monticello), junior safety Walter Ramsey (Atlanta, Ga./Westminster) and junior defensive lineman Kevin Travaline (Winchester, Mass./Belmont Hill) paced the defense with six tackles each.
The Hornets were led by Smith, who tallied 112 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Lloyd completed 13-of-30 passes for 173 yards and one touchdown (2 INTs), while first-year wide receiver Troy Baldwin (Kill Devil Hills, N.C./First Flight) snared five passes for 70 yards. Senior linebacker Jajuan Johnson (Woodbridge, Va./Potomac) led the SU defense with 10 solo tackles.
Washington and Lee will now wait to hear who it will face in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs after locking up the ODAC's automatic bid last week. The selection show will air on NCAA.com at 6:00 pm.

Now that the modernised T-90 is available, our ever foreign loving IA would recommend it over the Arjun. They might even claim it as the FMBT for the IA.
MOD should only evince interest in the above T-90 if it is offered in place of the remaining number of T-90s that have been ordered. Cost difference should be nominal if the Russians want India to be their committed customers.

Welcome to the home page of
The Last Ridge documentary,
This one hour program premiering May, 2007, is narrated by National Public Radio's Scott Simon.
The Last Ridge DVDs now available for $20. To order, call 1-800-679-0604
The Last Ridge is the Story of
...The highest mountains
...The toughest conditions
...The most extraordinary soldiers.
More than 60 years ago, the 10th Mountain Division did the impossible in the mountains of Italy, scaling a 2000 foot cliff on a cold winter night to knock the Germans from their impenetrable perch.
But the 10th Mountain did more than turn the tide for the Allies in Italy. They revolutionized winter mountain warfare abroad, transformed winter sports at home, and blazed a path of honor for generations to come. This is the remarkable story of how the 10th Mountain Division came to be. You may also see the complete program transcript here.
The Last Ridge brings the extraordinary 10th Mountain legacy to life, from the uphill battles they faced during World War II, to the remote corners of troubled Afghanistan where they patrol today, as the most deployed military division in the U.S. Army.
Produced by 10th Mountain descendent Abbie Kealy, the program was filmed extensively in Colorado, Italy, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia, with insights from over one hundred 10th Mountain soldiers.

Is there are some references to algorithms that generate the set of prime numbers located between two given numbers n1 and n2?
I would like to consider the cases when n1 is large while n2-n1 is small or while n2-n1 is large.
If we consider these cases:
[1] n1=$2^{10}$ & n2=$2^{11}$;
[2] n1=$2^{40}$ & n2=$2^{45}$, (modified to [2a]);
[3] n1=$2^{100}$ & n2=$2^{101}$, (modified to [3a]);
[4] n1=$2^{1000}$ & n2=$2^{1001}$, (modified to [4a]);
Is there is a well known algorithm to generate the set of all primes p ∈ [n1,n2] without generating all primes p < n1?
By considering for example these cases:
[2a] n1=$2^{40}$ & n2=$2^{40}+2^{20}$;
[3a] n1=$2^{100}$ & n2=$2^{100}+2^{20}$;
[4a] n1=$2^{1000}$ & n2=$2^{1000}+2^{20}$.

Carpet Cleaning Perseverance – Mark's Carpet Cleaning
Do you have dirty carpets that are hard to clean?
Is daily vacuuming not getting rid of the dirt and grime on your carpets?
Do your carpets look old and flat even though you recently bought them?
If your answer to any of the above questions is in the positive, we are here to help you.

Why is the Carpet Cleaning Necessary?
Of all the furnishings in a home, a carpet is the one that is exposed to the most dirt, pollution and wear and tear. Since we walk on the carpets with our dirty shoes all the time, it naturally collects a lot of grime, dirt and germs. If you have children or pets, you probably have the dirtiest carpet in the whole town because we all know how our children and beloved pets like to sprawl over the carpets, spilling food and toys everywhere.
Also, the number of art projects our children do that leads to various paint splatters and the different kinds of stains that our carpets get from just our daily living is something that isn't easy to get rid of. We understand that a carpet is not only an important financial investment, but it also helps your home look beautiful and pleasant. Hence, it is extremely important to keep your carpet neat and clean. It not only helps in improving the appearance of your carpet and home in general but also increases the lifespan of your carpet.

Benefits of Carpet Cleaning
Extends the Lifespan of your Carpet
One of the most important advantages of professionally cleaning your carpets is that it extends the lifespan of your carpet. Since our carpet comes in contact with the most traffic, what happens is that over time, dust, allergens, bacteria, dirt, oils, and other contaminants accumulate on it. These particles then get embedded in the fibres of the carpet which can make the carpet fibres split, break and deteriorate. These contaminants are very likely to attach themselves to a carpet that is dirty than a clean one.
As dirt, mould, dust and bacteria builds up in the fibres, it also makes them weak. Hence, it's important to remove this building up of debris if you want to keep the carpet in good condition for a longer period of time.
Eliminates Pollution
According to a report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, dirty carpets are the breeding ground of indoor pollutants. Every day, the carpet gets clogged by the dust, numerous particle pollutants, and bug/insect allergens. A carpet also traps toxic airborne gases which can lead to respiratory issues.
Professional cleaners use special carpet cleaning machines and products that can kill the disease-producing microorganisms.
- It helps in the prevention of mould.
- It also helps prevent dust mite.
- Dirty carpet loses its shine and softness over time. Cleaning them will restore them to their original lustre.
- Health safety of children & pets
It is a known fact that suspended sediments and particles in the air are harmful to everyone but it can be especially dangerous for children and pets whose immune systems are different from adults.
Removal of Bacteria
While vacuuming does remove the surface dirt, bacteria, viruses and the deeply embedded debris often remain hidden. Professional cleaning helps get rid of the bacteria, allergens and other germs, providing you with a healthy environment.

Moreover, your home and especially the rooms can feel suffocating and stuffy if your carpets are dirty. Vacuuming alone doesn't get rid of this debris. Hence, why you need professional cleaning.

Some areas of the carpeting receive more foot traffic than others like hallways, kitchens, living rooms, etc. These areas tend to damage much faster (they also get darker in colour over time) than those under couches and furniture.

Water woes force big brewers to tighten the tap
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Some of the largest brewers in the U.S. are trying to reduce their water-to-beer ratio as drought and wildfire threaten the watersheds where they draw billions of gallons every year.
No independent group tracks beer-makers' water usage, but MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch both say they have made reductions.
MillerCoors released a sustainability report Wednesday that shows it has cut its water use by 9.2 percent from 2012.
MillerCoors is focusing its water-saving effort in Texas, California and Colorado. It involves changing irrigation techniques used by its hops and barley farmers
The Chicago-based company's sustainability chief, Kim Marotta, says MillerCoors realized in 2008 that three of its eight breweries relied on water in the three states, where supplies were already stretched.
Brewers tap public watersheds, building dams to form their own reservoirs.
