Once you manage to scrape yourself off the sun lounge, the Balearic Island of Majorca has a cavalcade of highlights for the curious and adventurous.
Here are the Majorca highlights you must not miss.
1. The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma
A grand Gothic cathedral sitting almost at the water's edge. Known as La Seu, it contains the tombs of Majorcan kings and offers stunning views from the rooftop (rooftop tours are available during summer only).
2. Royal Palace of La Almudaina (Palau de l'Almudaina)
Originally an Islamic fort, before being transformed into the residence for the monarchs of Majorca, the hulking Royal Palace is technically still a royal residence, but visitors can wander the opulently decorated rooms within.
3. Majorca's east coast
Majorca's beaches are beloved by British holidaymakers, with the most popular ones located in the south, west and northern parts of the island; head to the east coast to find quieter, unspoilt sandy coves and sparkling blue waters.
4. Cuevas del Drach
Majorca has around 200 cave systems, with Cuevas del Drach credited as being one of the most impressive, not just on the island, but in Europe. Take a tour to see its stunning stalagmite and stalactite formations.
5. Pollèntia
Founded in 123 BC, Pollèntia was the most important city in the Balearics during the Roman period. Artefacts were first found among the ruins here in the 17th century, with excavations starting in 1923 and continuing today. Visitors can explore the theatre, the forum and the residential area of La Portella, as well as the Museu Monogràfic de Pollèntia.

Reed finally decides to propose to Sue. But while he's out buying a ring, Namor shows to kidnap the poor girl yet again. The undersea prince, still deserted by his people save for the few loyal guards who rejoined him in Avengers #4, has decided that he needs a bride to regain his previous glory.
Reed pretty much explodes with anger and decides that he'll confront Namor alone. Johnny and Ben don't approve of this, so they recruit Dr. Strange to track down Namor so they can rejoin Reed in time to help.
What follows is yet another great fight scene--Reed goes mano-o-mano with Namor while Ben handles the contingent of Atlantean soldiers. Johnny rescues Sue and they work together to ward off a death trap or two. Cuts between the various scenes are expertly handled so we can easily follow the action throughout.
And Jack Kirby does a great job of making the fight between Namor and Reed believable, with Reed using his powers in several clever ways to cancel out Namor's advantage in pure power. A panel in which Reed forms his body into a giant crossbow and basically fires Namor into some of his own soldiers is wonderful. It somehow manages to be just a little bit silly and really cool at the same time.
Anyway, Sue seperates everyone with a force field and tells Namor to leave her alone in the future. This ticks the pointy-eared prince off, but Dr. Strange teleports everyone away before the fighting can resume. But poor Reed thinks Sue might have just been pretending to reject Namor to end the conflict. So no proposal yet.
I do like the nod to the Marvel Universe's internal continuity here. Namor was rejoined by some of his solders in the Avengers, but Stan Lee remembered to carry that event over into the Fantastic Four. And, finally, Reed angry reaction to Namor's actions adds some real depth to his character.
Spider Man is still adding to his Rogue's Gallery at a fast and furious pace. This month introduces us to Mysterio, a former stunt man/special effects guy who uses his skills and devices to frame Spider Man for a series of robberies. Mysterio then publically sets himself up as a crime fighter and the only guy who can bring the villianous webslinger to justice.
Peter spends a few pages worried that he has developed a split personality and really is committing the crimes. This part of the story doesn't really work--this isn't the first time Spidey's been impersonated, after all.
And when Spider Man finally figures out what is going on, he uses the already cliched method of getting the bad guy to gloat and openly confess his crimes while Spidey gets it all on tape.
These flaws keep this issue from being as good as Spider Man usually is, but it's still not bad stuff. Ditko gives us another fine fight scene--he continues to show a real talent for choreographing the action in such a way that emphasizes the webslinger's need to use his brains as well as his powers to win. And Mysterio is a great villain who will be put to better use in better constructed stories in the future.
That's it for this week. Next time, we'll look in on Thor, Iron Man and Giant Man.

The type of perm you get depends on your hair and the style you want. Hair that damages easily, or is already damaged, requires a gentler perm, while coarser hair can handle more aggressive treatment. The way your hair is wrapped prior to processing determines how your curls will look in the end.
Acid Perm
An acid-balanced perm is also called warm waves. The solution for these treatments contains glyceryl monothioglycolate and has a pH balance of 4.5 to 6.5 or 7.0. The solution penetrates slowly into the hair and requires a source of heat to be successful. While an acid perm produces looser curls than an alkaline perm, it is much more gentle to the hair. An acid perm is the right choice for hair that is fine or very porous due to damage. It won't have much affect on coarser hair.
Alkaline Perm
alkaline perms, also called cool waves, have a pH balance of 8.2 to 9.6 and use ammonium thioglyucolate as an active ingredient in the solution. These perms work fast, usually within 20 minutes, and require no heat source. An alkaline perm results in tight curls. The solution, however, has a strong, unpleasant scent and may damage fine or already damaged hair. Alkaline perms are best on coarse or perm-resistant hair.
Spiral Perm
A spiral perm produces a mass of loose curls. Hair is wrapped around long spiral perm rods in a winding manner. After processing, the curls retain a spiraling pattern produced by the winding. Spiral perms need hair that is long enough to wind around the rods. They are ideal for thin or fine hair as the spirals add fullness and the appearance of thickness.
Stack Perm
If you want to add volume to your hair, a stack perm may be for you. A stack perm is used on hair that is all one length. The hair is wrapped in curlers of differing sizes prior to processing. The top inches of hair are left uncurled, while the sides and bottom gain volume and movement from the curls.

Tree of Life Interfaith Seminary Program
Rev. Dr. Stephanie Rutt created the twenty-seven module Path of Crow curriculum when she designed the Tree of Life Interfaith Seminary Program. This curriculum is created in two parts:
Preparations. You'll be exploring the treasure's crucible, spiritual practice, from a variety of faith traditions. You'll examine various forms of meditation and prayer and become familiar with the process of co-creating with the Creator through the interplay of personal will and divine surrender. You'll receive detailed guidance on how to create a spiritual practice that resonates with your inner knowing, how to deal with obstacles as they arise and, ultimately, how to become an alchemist turning the challenges of practice into the gold of the journey.
Creating Your Vision of Ministry. You'll distill the impulse(s) of your inner joy as well as the major lessons and themes of your experience which are necessary and critical components of your personal ministery character and vision. You'll be offered opportunities for alchemy, to polish your inner treasure, by transforming patterns that no longer serve as well as to cultivate focus, courage and the inner inspiration to live from an open heart. And, as you clarify your personal vision of ministry and prepare for its manifestation, you'll be supported to offer it as an expression of beauty, in service.
For more information please visit the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple website.

23-year-old Clubgoer Stabbed in Cayo
A Cayo resident is tonight receiving treatment at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital after he was stabbed twice to the stomach on Sunday morning. Around two-thirty a.m., twenty-three year old Alejandro Galvez of Clarissa Falls was stabbed in front of a night club on the Bullet Tree Road. Police arrived on the scene shortly after, but by then, Galvez was already rushed to the San Ignacio Hospital. Before being transported to the K.H.M.H., Galvez told police during an interview that he did not know who stabbed him. Police investigation continues.

Chlamydia screening needs redesign
Chlamydia screening is missing numerous infections because it is too focused on GUM clinics and failing to test enough men, a new analysis warns.
By targeting GUM clinics so firmly, the programme is missing large numbers of lower-risk patients more likely to present to a GP, the researchers said.
But they cautioned that while GPs needed to take on a greater role in screening, they also had to become more effective at targeting men.
An analysis of chlamydia
diagnoses in a population of 11,161 found women diagnosed in primary care had fewer sexual partners and exhibited lower risk behaviours than those diagnosed in GUM clinics.
But whereas 51 per cent of women's diagnoses were in primary care, only 22 per cent of men's were, the study reported online in Public Health.
Study leader Dr Jackie Cassell, honorary clinical research fellow in epidemiology and public health at University College London, said: 'Given the deficit in male diagnoses, increasing reliance on primary care for STIs may lead to a
worsening of control and stigmatisation of chlamydia as a "women's problem".'
Dr William Ford-Young, chair of the RCGP's sex, drugs and HIV task group and a GP in Macclesfield, warned of a 'crisis' in sexual health and called for more GP involvement.

God: It's not easy following all the ten commandments, you know. Even Gandhi had taken my name in vain a number of times. He only got through because he came highly recommended. And he's already defected.
Me: So all the other trillions go to Hell?

Topic Page: cladistics
(1965) : a system of biological taxonomy that defines taxa uniquely by shared characteristics not found in ancestral groups and uses inferred evolutionary relationships to arrange taxa in a branching hierarchy such that all members of a given taxon have the same ancestors
cla•dist \॑kla-dist, ॑klā-\ n
cla•dis•tic \klə-॑dis-tik, kla-\ adj
cla•dis•ti•cal•ly \-ti-k(ə-)lē\ adv
Method of biological classification that uses a formal step-by-step procedure for objectively assessing the extent to which organisms share particular characteristics, and for assigning them to taxonomic groups called clades. Clades comprise all the species descended from a known or inferred common ancestor plus the ancestor itself, and may be large – consisting of a hierarchy of other clades.
The cladistic method of classification was proposed by German teacher and entomologist Willi Hennig (1913–1976) in 1950, though his ideas did not gain currency until his work was translated into English in 1966.
Cladistics assumes, controversially, that a new species arises when an existing species splits into two descendent species (with the ancestor disappearing after the splitting event). It also assumes that characteristics change over time, and differentiates between 'primitive' (or plesiomorphic) characteristics, which arose early in the lineage of a group of species, and 'derived' (or apomorphic) characteristics, which are evolutionary novelties that arose more recently. For example, the presence of a vertebral column is a primitive characteristic for bird species, while their possession of feathers is a derived one. The sharing of derived characteristics implies that the species concerned share a common evolutionary history and are more closely related than those that possess fewer or none of these characteristics.
When charting the relationship between species, cladists select a number of derived characteristics for consideration and then use computers to record whether those characteristics are present or absent, and to analyse any underlying pattern of relationship between the species. The results are usually presented graphically as a branching family tree, or cladogram, in which each fork, or node, has two branches and in which each organism under consideration appears at the tip of a branch. The cladogram may then be converted into a classification, with the organisms being grouped into clades, or monophyletic groups, consisting of a node (the extinct ancestral species) and all the species descending from that node.
Because there are a million or more species of organism, it follows that the cladistic method could, potentially, generate an enormous number of clades, each one consisting of either two species or a hierarchy of other clades. Cladists cannot, therefore, assign names to each clade – usually only the more significant ones and their sister clades are named – nor can they rank clades according to the traditional hierarchy of families, orders, and classes.
Many of the groupings arising from cladistic classification overturn conventional groupings. For example, the reptile group – which comprises a distinct class under conventional systems of classification – is not recognized as a clade because it does not include all the descendants of its members' most recent common ancestor (the missing descendants are the birds).

Just used UPakWeShip to move from Maryland to Switzerland (using the 100 box), and have to hand it to Alicia and the team for their responsiveness and transparency. I had concerns after some negative reviews online but I have to say they turned out to be unfounded. Alicia was super responsive, with most emails getting answers within 1-2 hours and the pickup/delivery process was as smooth as possible. My things took about 8 weeks to arrive on my doorstep in my new home, in exactly the condition they were packed in, for the same flat price that was quoted at the beginning, with no additional charges along the way. If I have to move in the future, UPakWeShip will be my first call.
Moving Doctor says: Well done Alicia and all of the UPakWeShip team for consistently obtaining great international moving reviews. Its a shame that online review companies focus more on the negative rather than the positive comments of service companies. We work really hard to obtain 5 star international moving reviews. We have hundreds posted by consumers on our blog as well as a near perfect score on Google Reviews.

Scripture for Today
Men of the Bible Series: Daniel
Daniel, a prophet and a high government official. Captured as a young man and led in chains away from his homeland, Israel to the city of Babylon, Daniel was pressed into the service of the pagan king, Nebuchadnezzar.
His story begins when he was thrown into a den of lions and was not harmed. He was an interpreter of dreams and as a writing prophet he presented a clear picture of God's power, His personality and His plans. Daniel provides detailed predictions about events, some of which have already occurred.
God told Daniel:
"Shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Daniel 12:4
Many have misinterpreted the prophecy in Daniel. Clearly knowledge has been hidden ... perhaps now it is increased; so we can better discern God's truths. Hopefully we are in the End Times and Jesus will soon appear.

I was thinking that pms must be hard on guys also (don't get me wrong it is WAY harder on us) but still all of a sudden their perfectly sane and sweet wife or girlfriend or daughter get all Sally sensitive on them, crying at the drop of a hat, and flying off the deep end for absolutely no reason. My advice to men... be sweet, really flipping sweet, and don't try to figure us out, that's nearly impossible...Women-can't live with them-can't live without them.

I hate to break this to you, but PMS is nothing compared to menopause. And that lasts every day for years before your body adjusts. Ug. I've read that some alcohol rehab centers have found that women who are pre-menopause become alcoholics at that time because of the change in their brain chemistry, and they self-medicate with alcohol to try to compensate. Very common, per what I've read, for women to go from 1 - 2 glasses of wine in the evening to a bottle or more when they hit pre-menopause. Describes me to a T.ReplyDelete

Hormones are powerful!! I think cultures where the women go off in tents alone during that time if the month have the right idea. LOL. But for me it would have to be the week before for sure. I've read some similar thing about women in their pre menopause phase of life too with regards to self medication with alcohol. Hang in there.ReplyDelete

I like what anonymous @8:00pm said, LOL. Order me a tent NOW!!ReplyDelete
Emily, I hear you on the emotional stuff. You know at one point I had talked with the doctor on that, they gave me an anti-depressant to take (I think, can't remember) 1 week before my period until it came. It did take the edge of, but it made me even more sleepy then without so I went off. I watch my cycle and I give myself a break a few days before my period if I can. when I get it I am like someone opened a window and let the sunshine in, it's crazy how emotional I get. So be aware of your body, be kind if you can, and get lots of sleep. I am reading a book and the funny thing is they had a section on PMS and they had supplements to take and foods to avoid. I'll try to copy and paste it to you. I am on The 17 Day Diet, interesting, well see. But that is where I saw the info. I am down 4pds since Friday though, so I'm into it. I made it through hurricane Irene without a drink, or chocolate!!!!
Have a great day!!

Women become slaves to their hormones from their first menstrual cycle all the way through menopause. For me, the ovaries were the culprit of all the emotional chaos of my monthly cycle. There were days that I would become a completely different person whom no one including myself would recognize. A totally irrational, unpredictable being. Not a pretty picture. At the time there was no treatment for PMS and I began to self medicate with anything that would keep me from becoming a homicidal maniac. Usually it was alcohol and or tranquilizers Having had a total hysterectomy out of necessity at the age of 42 was a blessing in disguise. I would never advocate that to anyone unless totally necessary, but for me it put an end to the crazies that came each month.ReplyDelete

Welcome to Yellow Umbrella Event's 2019 Complete Guide to getting married at one of the Palace Resorts in Mexico or Jamaica. We absolutely LOVE these properties and we think you will as well. We love them so much that we're *Palace Pro Specialists Certified, meaning we are among the top Palace Resorts selling agents in the US and have an official certification from Palace Resorts indicating our advanced knowledge of their properties and their wedding and corporate group programs. We really know Palace!
Take your time browsing through some of their great options and then give us a call at #512-902-2743 or shoot us an email at [email protected] and we will help you book your date!
*Please scroll through or click the links below to take you to that particular section.
Q.) How do we book our wedding at Palace Resorts?
A.) Give us a call at or email us here and we'll get started. First, we'll help you decide which Palace Resort is best suited to you and your guests. Then we'll connect with the property to confirm your ceremony date and time. Once you have a signed contract and have paid a deposit to hold your date, we'll help you with obtaining a special rate on a room block for you and your guests.
Q.) How much is the ceremony deposit?
A.) There is a $250US deposit required to confirm and hold your ceremony date and time. The $250US will be credited to your wedding package of choice or credited back to you at check out, if you opt for the complimentary ceremony package.
Q.) How far in advance must we book our wedding?
A.) There is no set time in advance that you must book your wedding but dates and times are subject to availability, so you should start the planning process as soon as you can, to give you the most flexibility on dates.
Please note that weddings or vow renewals booked once on site do not qualify for the complimentary package.
Q.) Do the weddings at Palace Resorts include other vendors, like a DJ, a photographer, or a florist?
A.) Yes and No. Palace Resorts does offer a variety of wedding collections that include décor, such as upgraded linens, flowers, centerpieces, upgraded chairs, and more. Other vendors, like a DJ or a photographer are not included in those packages but can be sourced from Palace Resorts. They offer what is referred to as "in house" vendors to choose from. You are welcome to use their in house vendors for all extra wedding services.
Q.) What if I don't want to use the in house vendors that Palace Resorts offers?
A.) You are welcome to bring in your own vendors from outside the resorts, both from the local area and internationally. There will be an $800 fee for all outside vendors, though. This fee is charged per outside vendor. For example, if you hire a photographer to come with you from your home state of Texas, you would pay an $800 "outside vendor" fee to Palace Resorts. If you ALSO hire an outside vendor as your decorator, there would be an additional $800 outside vendor fee. This would bring your total to $1600 in outside vendor fees.
If you would like to use outside vendors for your Palace wedding, we recommend working with vendors that include a number of services, so that your outside vendor fee is reduced. For example, we'd recommend you choose a vendor that offers both photography and videography or a decorator that includes flowers, linens, and lighting. That way you pay less in outside vendor fees.
Of course, if you choose your vendors from the in house vendor list at Palace Properties, there will be no additional fees to use their services, other than the cost of the actual services rendered.
Q.) Can we get married on the beach? Or in a ballroom? Or near the pool?
A.) Yes! All of the Palace properties offer multiple ceremony and reception site locations. Please contact us so we can help you narrow down the right location for your wedding!
Q.) We're Catholic. What Palace property offers the option for having a Catholic Ceremony?
A.) Currently, Moon Palace Spa & Resort is the only Palace property that offers Catholic ceremonies.
Q.) Do we get a rehearsal time?
A.) Yes, you can have a rehearsal time the day before your wedding ceremony, if you'd like.
Q.) How far in advance do we need to arrive on site, before our wedding, to confirm all of our wedding details?
A.) Depending on the Palace Property that you have chosen for your wedding, and if you will have a legal or symbolic ceremony, you will need to arrive either and be on site 3 days before the wedding or 4 days before your wedding.
Q.) Will we be able to confirm our wedding details, once on site? Like in a walk through with someone from Palace Resorts?
A.) Yes, you will meet on site with your assigned Palace wedding coordinator a few days before your wedding to finalize all details. You may add any additional last minute services at that time as well, but please note that any services that are added last minute are subject to availability.

MAT Reports (23)
- Collection Created:
- August 10, 2013
Tornado Mitigation Assessment Teams (MATs) Joplin, Missouri - Daily Reports (2011)In May 2011, the tornado outbreaks continued in the midwest. A massive tornado rapidly intensified and struck the town of Joplin, MO, on May 22, 2011. The 6-mile swath devastated the heart of the town. FEMA deployed a MAT to tornado-damaged areas in and around Joplin. Preliminary field investigations occurred from May 26 - 28, 2011, with a full MAT deploying to the field on June 1, 2011, for 5 days of additional field investigations. The team's goals are: (1) investigate and assess the performance of safe rooms and shelters, and document damages observed; (2) investigate and assess residential building performance, focusing on newer construction where possible; (3) investigate and assess the performance of critical and essential facilities; (4) evaluate the performance of large commercial facilities that were directly impacted by this event; and (5) evaluate and provide field evidence to determine the tornado ratings on the EF Scale for the evaluated locations.
Building Performance Assessment Team - Midwest Tornadoes of May 3, 1999 - Presentation
This is a presentation of the MAT report on the Kansas and Oklahoma Tornadoes.
In response to the disasters caused by the May 3 tornadoes, FEMA deployed a Building Performance Assessment Team (BPAT), composed of national experts in engineering, architecture, meteorology, and planning, to Oklahoma and Kansas. The mission of the BPAT was to assess the performance of buildings affected by the tornadoes, investigate losses, and describe the lessons learned. This report presents the BPATs observations, conclusions, and recommendations, which are intended to help communities, businesses, and individuals reduce future injuries and the loss of life and property resulting from tornadoes and other high-wind events.

The recommendations for disaster-resistant practices in hurricane-prone regions presented are applicable to planners; decision makers; designers; contractors; building officials; Federal, State, and local government officials; building owners and operators; emergency managers; and homeowners. Observations, conclusions, and recommendations related to building codes and standards; flood protective measures; residential construction; critical facilities and key assets; and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are included.

|Grand Canyon National Park Arizona
The following poem, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892), is from In Memoriam A.H.H. 27. Tennyson was an English poet often regarded as the chief representative of the Victorian age in poetry and succeeded William Wordsworth Longfellow as Poet Laureate in 1850.
Considered a risk taking man, Tennyson promoted the notion of , having a mind of ones own.
I envy not in any moods
The captive void of noble rage,
The linnet born within the cage,
That never knew the summer woods:
I envy not the beast that takes
His license in the field of time,
Unfetter'd by the sense of crime,
To whom a conscience never wakes;
Nor, what may count itself as blest,
The heart that never plighted troth
But stagnates in the weeds of sloth:
Nor any want-begotten rest.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feet it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
to take the risk, to face the fear and
do it anyway.
And if you lose, at least you will have loved.
*The poet reminds us that it is far better
to take the risk, to face the fear and
do it anyway.
And if you lose, at least you will have loved.

The Law Office of Attorney Jack Byno has been practicing Texas traffic law for more than 20 years. During this time, we have challenged traffic violations, posted bonds, lifted warrants, and negotiated deals in court on behalf of our clients. Have you been pulled over by a police officer in McKinney, Texas, and written a ticket for speeding, driving without car insurance, or running a stop sign? No matter the reason behind your McKinney traffic ticket, Jack Byno & Associates may be able to help you keep points off of your driving record by pleading your case for the best possible deal. While we may be able to seek you deferred adjudication, reduced fines or driving safety courses, in lieu of points added to your driving record, we may also be hired to fight your case before a jury, in a trial setting, if your particular case calls for it. If you would like to learn more about our traffic ticket law firm and the legal services we provide for our clients, please fill out our Traffic Ticket Contact Form.
If you are caught speeding in the City of McKinney, or in a close-by Collin County town, there is a good chance that you will be written a speeding ticket by the police officer who pulled you over. You realize that points will be added to your driving record if you plead guilty to your violation, and you may now be considering a way to dispute your speeding ticket so that your record may be defended. For superior legal representation, look no further than the Law Office of Attorney Jack Byno. For over 20 years, our law firm has been disputing speeding violations in the McKinney Municipal Court, and we know what it takes to seek a favorable outcome for each of our clients' cases.
No matter whether you hold a standard, Class C driver's license or a CDL, if you do not respond to a speeding ticket or other traffic violation you have been written in McKinney, Texas, it will eventually go to warrant. This means that if you do not plead guilty to your ticket or take action to dispute it, and it goes past due, the McKinney Municipal Court will issue a warrant for your arrest. So that you may avoid arrest and incarceration, consider hiring Jack Byno & Associates to post your bond and get your warrant lifted.
A major reason to get your traffic warrant lifted as soon as possible is to avoid the Great Texas Warrant Roundup. The McKinney Police Department, and law enforcement agencies all across the State of Texas, takes part in this roundup, which sees police working around the clock to find and arrest motorists who have previously been written traffic warrants. If your warrant is not lifted in a timely manner, the chance is high that you will be arrested during the McKinney Warrant Roundup, which takes place on an annual basis.
Do you hold a commercial driver's license? CDL holders, when issued traffic tickets in the City of McKinney, may be especially anxious to protect their driving records, and careers, from points added as a result of their violations. Fortunately, the Law Office of Attorney Jack Byno has been defending against McKinney CDL and trucking violations for over 20 years, and are experienced when it comes to protecting CDL holders' clean driving records in the Municipal Court. Even though you as a CDL driver are not eligible for deferred adjudication or State-approved driving safety courses, our law firm may still be able to work out a satisfactory deal for you in court. Often, our CDL clients are not obliged to appear alongside us in court while we try to work out a deal for them. This may prove beneficial for you if you are on the job or otherwise preoccupied.
The Law Office of Attorney Jack Byno has been disputing driver's license suspension in McKinney, Texas, for over 20 years. No matter the reason behind the suspension of your driver's license, which can range from medical revocation to DWI, if the Department of Public Safety mails you a DL suspension notice, you will have a limited amount of time to seek a McKinney DL suspension hearing and to hire Jack Byno & Associates for legal defense. In the case that you driver's license has already been suspended, it is obviously too late for our lawyers to challenge your DL suspension in the Collin County Justice Court, but we may still be retained to seek, on your behalf, a temporary driver's license known as an Occupational Driver's License. Also referred to as an Essential Need License, an ODL would allow you to drive legally to work, and to other locations necessary to daily life, while your regular license is suspended. At all times, be sure to abide by Texas traffic law and any ODL stipulations that may be attached to your Essential Need License, as failure to do so could result in Driving While License Invalid (DWLI). It would be in your best interest to avoid a DWLI charge, as penalties associated with DWLI include high court fines, arrest, and prolonged DL suspension.
Since 1994, our law firm has been defending Class C and CDL drivers from traffic tickets issued in the City of McKinney, Texas. If you have questions concerning a speeding citation you have received, a traffic warrant that has been issued for you, or a CDL or trucking violation, we have the answers you are looking for. Do not waste time worrying about how your clean driving record may be affected by a traffic ticket issued to you in McKinney; instead get in touch with the Law Office of Attorney Jack Byno. We may be able to provide you with the swift legal defense you are looking for. If you would like additional information, please complete our Traffic Ticket Contact Form, or speak with a representative at 817-685-0912.

. Says the study, which paints a grim picture of the bumpy road ahead, out of the Top 20 urban regions with populations greater than 500 thou, Dallas-Fort Worth ranks last on the "poor condition" list of shite streets -- 34 percent versus San Jose, California's, chart-busting 64 percent. But if youdig a little deeper
and you'll find that only 13 percent of our local thoroughfares qualify as "good"; survey says 20 percent rate as "fair," while 33 percent go the "medium" route.
TRIP, using Federal Highway Administration data, also delivers one more significant stat: vehicle operating cost -- or the price motorists pay for driving on roads both piss and poor. Dallas-Fort Worth residents' expenditures come in at No. 18, between San Antonio and Detroit, at $539. Which is still well above the national average of $402. But I hear today's tax hike will fix everything.

Last night my wife and I got to reconnect as a couple. As part of a Valentine's Day celebration, we lined up a babysitter and went out on the town for the night. Side note: With three kids who don't sleep in, "for the night" now means approximately 6-10:30pm. We both got dressed up, I in a shirt and tie, she in a dress I bought her for Christmas, grabbed a bite of sushi to start the evening, followed this up with a stop at our church's annual Jazz Band Dance, and then finished the evening with a fancy dinner at one of the best-reviewed restaurants in town.
It was a lovely dinner and such a wonderful chance to spend time with the woman I dearly love. We don't get to do it often right now. The kids are not yet old enough to leave them with a babysitter for extended lengths of time, so we wind up structuring our days and nights around sleep schedules. Between the kids, the household chores and the day-to-day stresses, it is very easy to forget who you and your spouse are individually.
This is one of the goals my wife and I expressed to each other at our wedding – that we never wanted to lose sight of each other as we are. The diapers come and go. Bills will get paid. Fights happen. Summers and winters will fly by in the blink of an eye. But thirty years from now there is only one person who I will be standing with in my arms, on a beach somewhere watching the sun set: my wife.
As much as I enjoyed last night, with the quiet conversation, eye contact and well-coiffed hair, I will continue to try to let her know every day that she is beautiful to me, regardless of the flannel pajamas or hoodies or baby spit-up.
Quick Blasts: I've nearly finished Dracula, and am continuing to work my way through How to Win Friends… and have continued my devotional every day. I made positive identification on another new species of bird in the backyard today, the Common Redpoll. The finish work on the desk is nearly done. I've run 19 miles so far. My workouts have increased from simple pushups, situps and wall squats to a full routine of lifts and exercises, and I'm slowly seeing results.
As always: This is simply my journal as I try to better myself. I hope it inspires you to focus on yourself. Make 2013 YOUR year.

I have been going to gyms and working out consistently since I was 14 years old. This means that fitness has been a part of my life for over 10 years. Since I have moved around so many cities in the past years one could say that I have become really savvy at finding a new gym and fitness routine to incorporate into my new lifestyle. When I moved to New York for me the obvious thing to do was join Equinox since it is a large fitness chain that has locations all over Manhattan and it offers a really wide variety of group fitness classes as well as top-notch personal training and locker room with amenities that could put a lot of hotels to shame.
However in my first few months in New York I noticed something that really sparked my curiosity: Small specialized studios that offer the same type of classes as large gyms (think Spinning, Barre, Yoga) but at a much higher price and sometimes in a single location. I discovered this when one of my really close friends told me that she was going to ditch her gym membership because she would rather do Soul Cycle. To me this seemed really bizarre, I mean why would she ditch her gym membership that includes multiple classes that range through a variety of disciplines for a smaller, more expensive studio that only offered one class? So I decided to investigate.
After a year and four months of trying around 40 boutique fitness classes here are my conclusions: Usually when people have a gym membership they are loyal to only one or two classes and only take class when they are available. At a boutique fitness studio you can take the class you like every day of the week and it is offered multiple times a day so you don't have to adapt your schedule around it. Boutique fitness studios are small, therefore they provide a community feeling that a large gym does not. At a boutique fitness studio the classes allow a limited number of people so the instructor is more likely to remember you and give you pointers on how to tailor the workout to your specific needs. Since most of these classes need to be pre booked, pre-paid and have high cancellation fees, you are less likely to skip a workout than if you are a member at a gym where the classes are included and you feel that they are "free." At boutique fitness studios they really pay attention to the client experience. This means that most of them have a nice and welcoming waiting area, friendly front desk staff who remember you and locker room amenities that are comparable or superior to the ones at Equinox.
Of course boutique fitness classes are expensive, but they also keep you more honest. The pay as you go model makes you really evaluate how often you want to work out and what is a realistic plan that works for you. It also makes you more likely to pick an activity you really enjoy and look forward to, which is the whole point of working out anyways!
Reviews of my favorite boutique fitness studios coming soon!

Great day - Only communication wasn't perfect
This day was really nice. Great locations, nice guide, small group, everything you like. English guidance was very good, equal to the Chinese one. Only downside was that the cable car wasn't running and so the schedule was changed without prior notice. But the change schedule was still great. Tip: Forget the shopping, go for the hot spring. We didn't see Mount Fuji in its full beauty before, in the bath you had a great view...
Fantastic, hectic and busy but well worth it
What a great experience, we saw the real Japan, yes we were very fortunate to have a clear day, but the whole tour was wonderful. It was a very busy day and so much was packed in. Your escort/guide worked really hard and she was a credit to you all
We had a rainy day so no Mt fudji in view
The bus tour was great and our guide was really nice ! Bringing a lot of history and culture while we where driving to the next stop. It's a beautiful tour ecept for the fact that we had heavy rain all day but you can't control the météo.
Although we haven´t seen Mt. Fuji we had a great tour, thanks to Levin
Levin, our guide took care of us in a very kind and funny way. He was great in his way to explain the historical topics and always informed us about something interesting outside. Highly recommended - with Levin!
Friendly guide, everything was nice and smooth
Only thing I would have wished was that they had said about the possibility to take the train back to the city. I could have prepared for this better. This wasn't mentioned clearly enough. Otherwise I had fun!

Your cover letter is valuable real estate. See what's trending in 2016.
Your resume is polished and you are ready to apply for your dream job. Well, not quite. You still need a killer cover letter, and compared to your resume, it's a whole different animal.
Surprise! You shouldn't make yourself the main focus of your cover letter
The letter needs to concentrate on the company or department offering the position. You come into the picture by showing them how well you recognize their needs and emphasizing your accomplishments, skills, and personality so they can see you are a great fit for their job.
Here are a few tips to make your cover letter stand out from the others
- Address your cover letter to a specific person. Using a salutation like "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Recruiting Manager," can put off the reader, and in today's world of vast information, is just bad manners. Even if you are applying blindly, do everything you can to find out who is hiring the position. Check resources like LinkedIn and Twitter, or simply call the company.
- Craft an attention-grabbing opener that introduces who you are, mentions the position you are applying for, and how you heard about it. If the position matches one of your passions, be sure to tell them. What you don't want to do is declare yourself "uniquely qualified" or "perfect for the job." Let them decide by reading about your successes.
- Don't rehash your resume. Instead, using key words and phrases from the job posting, link back to your resume by referring to a few measureable accomplishments that match the specific requirements of the position.
- The overall tenor of your cover letter can be a little more relaxed than that of your resume. Be sincere, honest, and real. Show your personality, but be careful: There is a fine line between sounding charming or conversational and coming off as a little corny. When in doubt, err on the side of being professional.
- A great way to show why you are interested in the position and the company is to find a personal connection with them. Even if you don't know–or haven't linked with–anyone who works there, dig down and think: Maybe you use a product developed in the same department that has the opening. Perhaps you have read an interesting article about them. Or possibly you appreciate their reputation for something like innovation, outstanding service, or passion for human welfare. A statement or two is all you need to show you know something about the company. Avoid going over the top with compliments that can sound disingenuous.
- Make yourself sound like you are already one of them by doing some research on their corporate culture. For instance, are they sophisticated, cutting-edge, adventurous, or something else? You can probably discern these nuances just by going to their website. Try to match their tone in your cover letter.
- Finally, close your letter in a way that will convince the hiring manager to contact you to see why you are a good fit for the job and the company.
Go beyond your resume and cover letter
Make use of every avenue to show how you can deliver in a new position and reach your personal employment goals
It's usually not a good idea to use your cover letter as a forum for outlining what you need from the position, except, that is, when you are working with MARCOMM. Tell us about your passions, talents and what you are expecting from a job so we can advocate for you.
We search out job opportunities in some of the most respected companies in the twin cities. This means you could find your dream job by teaming with MARCOMM. And we double down by offering an employment package that is second to none.

From the Stacks by Nanette Morges
It's a new year, which means new opportunities to tackle my To-Be-Read pile.
One of my problems is I buy books faster than I can read them. I was going to make a resolution not to buy anymore new books (with the exception of the next Twilight book) until I have at least read some of the hardbacks I had to have in 2005 (Did I mention my TBR pile is very, very huge?), but as I already used some of my holiday money to place a big order with Amazon, there's no point.
Instead, I've decided to prioritize my TBR list a bit. Here are some of my goals for 2008:
Adult fiction
1. "Hood" by Stephen R. Lawhead. I've been looking forward to reading this reimaged tale that features a Welsh Robin Hood at the time of the Norman conquest.
2. "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke. I'm somewhat embarrassed by the fact I bought this hardcover when it came out in 2005 and I have yet to crack it open.
3. "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. I'm a sucker for vampire tales, and this is another hardcover from 2005 that I really should have read by now.
4. "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr. I've heard great things about this historical serial killer tale.
5. "Then We Came to the End" by Joshua Ferris. This book about copywriters facing layoffs seems reminiscent of some moments in my own career.
Young Adult books
1. "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. Narrated by Death, this is a Nazi-era story of a girl who collects stolen books.
2. "The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel" by Michael Scott. One reviewer said if Stephen King and Joss Whedon wrote a YA book together, this would be it. That was really all the encouragement I needed to buy it.
3. "The Uglies" by Scott Westerfield. This is the next book I intend to read, which means, I'll be reading the whole series about a world in which plastic surgery is mandatory and the teens who rebel against it.
4. "The Luxe" by Anna Godbersen. This book (referred to as "The Gossip Girl" for the 19th century) has been one of the most-talked-about books in my children's publishing class last semester.
5. "Wicked Lovely" by Melissa Marr. I love urban fantasy so I am looking forward to this tale about faeries stalking a student who their king thinks is the woman he must marry.
The "classics" I will finally read
1. "1001 Arabian Nights (Oxford Story Collections)" by Geraldine McCaughrean and Rosamund Fowler
2. "Withering Heights" by Emily Bronte
3. Dante's "Inferno"
4. Milton's "Paradise Lost"
5. Goethe's "Faust"
New release in 2008 I want most
"Breaking Dawn" the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. I thought my waiting impatiently for books and having release parties would end with the last Harry Potter book. Then I read the story of Bella and Edward.
From page to screen
2008 looks like it has potential to be a great year for book lovers on the big screen. Here's what I am most looking forward to seeing (Release dates subject to change):
1. "Twilight" (Dec. 12) Yes, I really want to see this more than Harry Potter. Shocking, I know.
2. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (Nov. 21). Note to Warner Bros.: You screwed up with Snape's Worst Memory in the last movie. Do not repeat the mistake with Spinners End in this one.
3. "The Spiderwick Chronicles" (Feb. 15). The trailers look amazing!
4. "Inkheart" (March 19). If you haven't read this book, what are you waiting for?
5. "Where the Wild Things Are" (Oct. 3). A live-action film of my favorite childhood book starring Forest Whitaker, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener, James Gandolfini and Catherine O'Hare and directed by Spike Jonez.

Marco stopped by tonight to help finish up the benchwork at Aquia Harbor. His time with us is limited as he'll be moving to Pennsylvania to take a new job.
The benchwork is an open grid of 1x2 lumber screwed to the walls and to the top of Ikea Ivar shelving. A one inch layer of pink foam will serve as the ground. The water surface areas are 1/8th inch tempered hardboard.
The corner of the room was not square so we had to cope the
hardboard pieces to match the walls. We took special care to insure that the hardboard was level so that we will be able to pour resin to simulate water.
This shot shows a mock-up of the pier, ships, car ferry and warehouse on the pier. The backdrop will be very important in capturing the busy harbor look as there isn't that much room for ships, especially big ships.
This is the view looking back to the mainland from the pier. The pier will be about 6.5 feet long. It will have two tracks built on pilings and wood decking. There will be three yard tracks on the pink foam with building flats behind along the wall. The yard area is 15 inches deep. There will be a 4 inch fascia along the front edge.
The rest of the layout lies through a hole in the wall to the right of this photo.
Before securing the hardboard pieces and sealing the seams, I need to paint the backdrop. This will be a real test of my painting skills.
I am also thinking about some additional lighting for this room. The corner by the pier is a bit dark. I may install some trak lighting.

License Proxy - IP Forwarding
A step-by-step guide for Rescale customers to setup a license proxy using IP forwarding mode on Rescale admin page
IP forwarding mode is a method that involves relocation of address and/or port numbers of a packet and sending it to a new destination. IP forwarding method is quick and easy to set up. It is a self service solution when configured requires no on-going maintenance. This is the simplest configuration that allows you to run batch jobs and desktops using Rescale to access your on-premise licenses.
- The user should have an account on Rescale
- The user should be a company administrator (in Rescale). To become a company administrator, please email a request to firstname.lastname@example.com
- The user should have admin privileges to the on-premises license server. This is the IT admin of the company who manages the on-premises license server
- The user's computer should allow inbound ssh access on port 22
- Your public IP address
- Hostname for on-premises license server
- List of software and associated license and vendor ports
- Ensure that vendor ports are fixed in license files
Obtain Information, Update Ports and Restart On-Premises License Server
This section lists the steps to be followed on your local on-premises workstation where the license server is hosted
Obtain Port Information
Obtain the port (license and the vendor) information from the license file
The port the license server listens on can be obtained from the license logs
For both FlexLM and RLM there are 2 processes that handle license access: the License Server (lmgrd or rlm) and the Vendor Daemon
For FlexLM, look at the part of the log when the license server was started. It will display information in the following format. You will need to obtain the ports from this part of the log:
00:00:00 (lmgrd) FlexNet Licensing (<license manager version>) started on <hostname>
00:00:00 (lmgrd) lmgrd tcp-port <license server port>
00:00:00 (lmgrd) Started <vendor daemon> (pid <pid>)
00:00:00 (lmgrd) <vendor daemon> using TCP-port <vendor port>
Similarly, the ports information for the Reprise License Manager (RLM) can be parsed from the license logs. The format of the logs will look something like this:
1/1 00:00 (rlm) License server started on <hostname>
1/1 00:00 (rlm) Using TCP/IP port <license server port>
1/1 00:00 (rlm) Starting ISV server <vendor daemon> on port <vendor port>
Update Vendor Ports
Before making changes to the vendor port(s), make sure you temporarily shutdown the license server and there are no running jobs
Open the license file in a text editor with admin privileges and edit the vendor port(s)
Each time the the server is restarted the vendor port(s) might change
Restart the License Server and Verify Changes
In order to apply the changes, the license server should be restarted
Look at the flexnet or Reprise License Manager (RLM) license log file and verify if the vendor port is correctly updated
License Proxy Settings on Rescale Company Admin Page
This section lists the steps to setup license proxy using IP forwarding mode on Rescale Admin page. The license proxy setup on the Company Administration Page can be accessed at license proxy page
- Navigate to the Rescale Administrator page from your accounts to start the setup of license proxy
- Navigate to Integrations>>License Proxies
- The page will look similar like the screenshot below:
- Select Add New
Give an identifiable name for the license proxy
Select IP Forwarding mode as the license proxy mode
Do not make any changes to the "Enable High availability" option. The default value is No
Put in your public SSH keys for authorized connection to the license proxy server. This is not mandatory in case of IP forwarding mode. Only the users who want to have the access to the license proxy need to put in the SSH public key
If you are unsure on how to obtain public keys, please check out this page on SSH Key Setting up your SSH Key pair
Now, add the license port information Select a Unique Hostname for your license proxy. This is the hostname of the machine that hosts the license server. The hostname can be obtained from the license logs
Set the Destination IP. This is the IP address of the on-premise license server where you want to forward the traffic to. This can be same if you have multiple servers on the same network and different if you have multiple servers on multiple different network
Set the Local Port. This port is the port that the job refers to while checking out license. The proxy is listening on the local port Local port can be the same number as the Remote port. But, if you have two different license servers then you will have to give a different local port
The Remote Port is the port on the remote server that the local port forwards to
You will fill in the information for both License port and vendor port
The vendor and license port for each application needs to be on the proxy
For example, if you are using COMSOL Multiphysics in batch as well as COMSOL Multiphysics GUI in a Rescale Desktop, then you should have total 4 entries(2 license ports and 2 vendor ports) on the proxy page
Now, select the correct Software from the dropdown under software section on the proxy page
After that click on the Launch License Proxy button
- Once you have clicked the launch proxy button you will see a screen with status like the one below:
- After the proxy has been launched, you will see a network topology section at the bottom which will have the public IP of the Rescale license proxy that has to be whitelisted and adjust your firewall rules on your internet gateway to allow inbound from the Rescale license proxy to the on-premise license server
- After, all of the above steps are configured properly, you should be able to see a screen like this:
- Also, you should now be able to run jobs, and checkout licenses successfully
Verify Settings
To test your connection and verify if the settings made were properly configured:
- Click on the radio button under actions options on the company license proxy page
Please note that the radio button only displays the status of the flexlm license servers. If you have a RLM license the radio button will not display any information
- Submit a dummy job by logging into your Rescale account
- Create a new job by clicking the +New job button in the top left of the page. Select the Software you want in the software section and select Provide Existing License option as shown below:
- In the appropriate field type in
@ in our example case 27000@my-server then click Check availability the button. The license prompt provides customers immediate feedback for whether the license server address specified is reachable from the Rescale platform by clicking the blue "Check Availability" button
Pro's and Con's of IP Forwarding Mode
