Islam in Latin America
Housed in LACC, the Islam in Latin America Project began in 2009 as a collaborative project of FIU and the Social Science Research Council-Carnegie foundation that aimed at addressing the significant disparity that exists between the American media's, and by extension the American public's, perception of Muslims in Latin America and the reality of the current state of affairs. Part of this communication problem can be attributed to the lack of sound and systematic examination of this subject in English.
Islam as a contemporary religious, cultural, and socio-historical phenomenon in Latin America is grossly understudied, especially when compared to its European, Asian, and North American counterparts. The Islam in Latin America project is a trilingual (Spanish, Portuguese and English) initiative that seeks to create a better understanding of Islam's various manifestations in Latin America. This project attempts to start a dialogue toward answering the following questions:
What has been the historical development of Islam in Latin America? Is there a different approach to the practice of Islam between Latin American converts and Muslim immigrants from the Middle East? Can we speak of a "Creole Islam" in Latin America unique to other practices of Islam in the European or North American Diasporas? What is the social reality that Muslims face in Latin America in the post September 11th environment? How has media affected the perceptions of Muslims in Latin America?
Recent project deliverables include have included, but are not limited to: online publishing of three-part series on the topic found at: http:/www.youtube.comwatch?v=tgwtP-vLdkA; development of a LACC/FIU School of Journalism documentary film on Muslims in Buenaventura, Colombia; LACC Affiliated Faculty Interdisciplinary Colloquia on Islam and Latin America; and K-12 Teacher Training Workshops and Student Simulation on security and migration post-9/11.

roads for motorbiking VV, VTE, LP
roads for motorbiking VV, VTE, LP
are the roads in these citys good for motorbiking? and is renting bikes here as easy/cheap as in thailand?

The roads in the cities are quite Ok. Its the road that links the cities are pretty bad. Laos has really limited roads to ride on. Even if there is one, most are in very bad conditons. Even the newly built road from Boten to Houey Xai which was built by China is deteriorating fast. Hardly any maintennance form the Lao side.

The bikes arn't as good and they often cost more. Most rental step through bikes are Chinese bucket of bolts. Get a Kaolao if you can. Not as good as the Thai bikes but better than the Chinese. That said anything will do for around town.
Luang Prabang doesn't have rentals, too many people having accidents.
Vientiane is more competetive now and you should find bikes.
Luang Namtha has bikes, as does Pakse, and Vang Vien. Enduro 200cc and up, bikes are only available in Vientiane, Vang Vien, Pakse, and mostly people only drive larger bikes between towns. It's certainly possible to drive the smaller bikes everywhere but not many do, the notable exceptions being the loops down south.
As Abg said roads are in poor condition, but I'd add distances are short. Two hundred kilometers a day is often enough for most, if dirt you might think about shorter distances. There is mostly no traffic but the potholes keep you slowed down.
In the towns watch out for other drivers, especially in new pick up trucks. The motor vehical is a new thing in Laos and many of the middle aged rich people buying nice cars have never learned to drive and never will. I'd say the skill level is well below Thailand. Lots of drunks at night.

We rented bicycles in Luang Prabang one day and mototbikes another day - and had no problem. We rode all over LP - in town and out in the country. Found some amazing out of the way places. Also rented in Phonsavahn - the roads there are mostly dirt and some are a bit washed out. We slid out once but were not going fast enough at that point to get hurt. The bikes in Phonsavahn were not as good as in Luang Prabang.

drink driving seems q common, some of my Lao friends in VTE don't like being on the road late at night. people can drive without functioning headlights/brake lights. seems like the only ones who bother to get licences are those who need it for their job (e.g. company driver). most of my Lao friends who've been driving for years have no clue what various traffic signs & lane markings mean. VTE now has a hell lot of traffic, plenty of SUVs, vans & cars. at some intersections police still blow their whistles at motorists to get them to obey traffic lights/signals & to stop at pedestrian crossings.
LPB now allows motorbike rentals again. though like in VTE capital they've banned students (below college level) from riding motorbikes to school (though the kids can still ride them at other times).

Florida's proposed education core is more specific and now includes evolution.
By RON MATUS, Times Staff Writer
Published November 30, 2007
Two years ago, an influential national think tank concluded in a scathing report that Florida's science standards - which outline what students need to know to be well grounded in the subject - were sprawling, superficial and deserving of a big, fat F.
Amazingly, the Fordham Institute noted, the standards didn't even mention the word "evolution."
Fast-forward to now.
Proposed standards are more focused and better organized. They not only mention evolution, they dub it a "big idea." And this time, they get a thumbs-up from the chief author of the Fordham report.
"Much better," said biologist Paul Gross, a former provost at the University of Virginia, who reviewed the draft at the request of the St. Petersburg Times.
Supporters say good science standards are key to turning around the dismal performance of Florida students on state and national science tests, and making them more competitive in a technology-driven global economy.
Gross agreed to review the standards as an individual and not as a Fordham representative. But as a scientist, he was impressed: "Clearly, the writing committee, whoever they are, have taken to heart all the arguments that have been made about lousy standards," he said.
That's the reaction state education officials were hoping for.
The current standards were adopted in 1996, when some education officials were concerned that direct mention of Darwin's theory of evolution - the keystone of modern biology - would spark a cultural firestorm.
This time, state officials haven't flinched. And though it remains to be seen how much of an uproar there may be from religious conservatives, the proposed standards are garnering strong support from teachers and scientists.
"Nothing like that is ever perfect," said Gerry Meisels, a University of South Florida chemistry professor who directs the state's Coalition for Science Literacy. "But they are a very big step forward."
"They're good science," said Joe Wolf, president of Florida Citizens for Science.
Meisels was among more than 50 scientists, teachers and business people who helped rewrite the standards, which were released in October and can be found on the Department of Education Web site. The public has until Dec. 14 to comment. The Board of Education is expected to vote on them early next year. If passed, the new standards would take effect next fall.
As of Monday, 7,069 people had posted 11,622 comments.
The review of Florida's standards spawned anxiety even before it began.
In the summer of 2005, the Department of Education hired K-12 chancellor Cheri Yecke, who had become embroiled in a controversy over the teaching of intelligent design in Minnesota. A few months later, it postponed the standards review, which had been originally scheduled for 2006. And then, in December 2005, confusion emerged when Gov. Jeb Bush said there should be a "vigorous discussion of varying viewpoints in our classrooms" - a position that some took as a nod to creationism.
"Oh, boy," Meisels said at the time.
Judging by the draft, those fears have not been realized.
"The organization of the plan is entirely respectable, and it pays attention to all the national models," said Gross. "There's not a lot of fluff in it."
That's not to say passions aren't still running strong on evolution.
"Evolution is not science," one person wrote after reviewing the standards on the Internet.
"I am so sick that people have become so brainwashed into thinking that evolution is true," wrote another.
On the other hand, one supporter wrote: "It is very promising that you intend to introduce this concept at such an early age."
Comments on the evolution language appear to be running more than 2-to-1 in favor.
Teachers and scientists like other changes, too.
The current standards have been slammed for trying to teach too much. So the proposed standards cut away some detail, but better wrap what's left around a handful of central themes like earth structures, heredity and energy transfer.
"It focuses more on big ideas and pursues them," Meisels said.
"They're more precise and they're absolutely world class," said Janet Acerra, a fifth-grade teacher at Forest Lakes Elementary in Oldsmar and another member of the revamp team.

Book "Digital Cool: Life in the Age of New Media" is written by Pramod K. Nayar.
You email your report, check the position of your stocks, play your favourite Rahman, and upload new patches for your favourite simulation game-all using the same three-inch-by-five device that fits into your palm. You chat, share, play and blog, even check for directions to the new Italian restaurant in town online. Everyday life is now digital.
Digital Cool examines life in the age of New Media. From Facebook to Internet dating, tablets to Twitter, cyber avatars to Wikis-it tells the story of how human lives today are heavily mediated by 'cool' technologies, and how the technologies themselves are mediated by our ways of living, playing, working.
'Digital Cool' is simultaneously about individualisation, with its make-believe detachment ('Cool'), and the fierce collectivism facilitated by New Media. There's the young woman waiting for the tube while swishing through the bestseller she's just bought on her iPad, indifferent to her surroundings; there is also the fury of the mainly online Pink Chaddis campaign of 2009, the collaborative radical political critique of kafila.org, or the arrival of Spring in Tahrir, with its unforgettable images of Google executive Wael Ghonim coordinating revolution on Facebook, accessed on his smartphone.
US Congressmen tweeted President Obama's first State of the Union address as he spoke, the world was alerted to Andres Iniesta's World Cup-winning goal on Twitter, and the incredible landing of US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson was first reported on the microblogging site. Twitter is today the cool way to update 'followers'; YouTube is the platform on which a participatory culture and the sense of belonging to a community play out.
Digital technology empowers, enthuses, informs and mediates new forms of community, activism and identity. Culture jamming, participatory journalism and commons knowledge are all components of the activist new media, but also of popular culture.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- A Pittsburgh man was dubbed the American Mustache Institute's 2012 Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year at 'Stache Bash 2012 in Arizona.
The award, presented by Wahl Trimmers, was awarded to University of Pittsburgh employee and fixture in the city's non-profit community Adam Paul Causgrove at the Mesa event Saturday after receiving 66 percent of 1.3 million votes, the American Mustache Institute said.
The institute said Causgrove's candidacy for the award, presented each year to the person determined to best represent the "Mustached American" lifestyle, was based on his work for charitable causes in his community.
Causgrove founded the annual Tail-Great event, which raises money for several Pittsburgh charities, and headed the movement to found the Mount Washington Olympia dog park. He is also a founding member of Side Project Inc., a group dedicated to helping non-profits obtain government money.


text: Digging around a little bit in the world of carputers following our recent post on the Subaru carputer, I came across Roadnav, a cross platform, open source GPS mapping program from Richard Lynch. One thing that makes this project different from many commercial solutions is that it uses free US mapping data from "the US Census Bureau and the USGS." It then renders the maps from that government data. I believe most commercial mapping data is supplied by Navteq, whose trademark you are probably used to seeing at the bottom of Google Maps. Roadnav is a bit rough around the edges, but given the limited number of GPS navigation solutions for the Mac it's certainly worth checking out.

Scroll down to Sign the Petition NOW.
Last October the USDA National Forest Service reopened the potential for fracking in the Sespe Wilderness - and now we have information from our friends at Los Padres ForestWatch and Save the Sespe that the internal review is slated to wrap up in the coming months - sometimes there are delays.
Local groups will be monitoring and mobilizing and CFROG will be collaborating to ensure this wilderness (located in the mountains behind Fillmore) is protected from this dangerous extreme extraction method. By signing our petition now, you will help form a coalition of concerned residents so when the public comment period (on that internal review) opens - we are ready to flood their office with calls, letters and emails that say - Don't Frack the Sespe.
NOTE: When you sign the petition your full address is NOT required, but please consider providing your City of residence.
Petition Text:
We do not want this national treasure - the Sespe Wilderness - to be further jeopardized by dangerous fracking in the name of profit.
We do not want our federal government to let any oil company use hydraulic fracturing "fracking" in the Sespe Wilderness.

Dr. Lynne Pirie--physician, surgeon, sports medicine specialist, medical director at North Phoenix Health Institute, author, lecturer and TV personality--has decided to let everyone know what kind of panties she wears. So, blond and shapely Pirie is pulling a Jim Palmer and is beginning to appear in a slew of national magazines wearing her favorite underwear. In the most recent issue of People magazine, for example, she`s shown lifting her operating gown to reveal beige Jockey for Her panties.
``That`s more clothes than some of the bikinis I wear in my body-building competitions,`` said Pirie, expressing surprise that the ads showing a ``real person`` in underwear have sparked interest. ``I`m not shy about modeling because the ads are very tasteful,`` she said in a phone interview from Phoenix, adding, ``They are very wholesome. After all, everybody wears underwear. I really never gave it (modeling panties) a second thought.``

Fred LeBrun's column this week deals mostly with Cuomo's relationship to the new GOP-IDC Senate coalition known as Skleinos, but it also contains a bit of news regarding Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
Silver, D-Manhattan, is being investigated by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics over the way he handled allegations of sexual harassment against Assemblyman Vito Lopez, D-Brooklyn. Silver authorized a $103,080 payment to settle claims by two women who worked for Lopez, then referred a subsequent complaint by female staffers to the chamber's bipartisan Ethics Committee. It recommended sanctions against Lopez, which Silver accepted and implemented.
Lebrun writes:
The governor came within a whisper of running everything. Word in the Capitol has it that the staff of JCOPE, the Joint Committee on Public Ethics, widely seen as a punitive instrument of the governor, pushed hard to censure Silver for his part in the highly publicized Assemblyman Vito Lopez sexual harassment case. Destabilizing Silver's leadership was within the governor's grasp, several people say, but the vote that might have gotten it done was cancelled because of Sandy. When the vote was finally held a couple of weeks ago — after the election — appointed and emboldened Democrats on JCOPE held firm and blocked it. Relations between the Assembly leadership and the governor's office have been testy ever since. At least that's the covert talk, since releasing that sort of information is a crime.

An anorexic man has revealed how a near-death experience forced him to fight back against his fear of eating and addiction to exercise.
When he was 14 years old, Matthew Booth's weight fell to just 4st, 5lbs.
And at rock bottom, he 'died' for 20 minutes – an experience that helped shock him into recovery.
At one point, Matthew, from Bury, Lancs., stopped eating and drinking completely, and when he was 18 was rushed to hospital, where his heart stopped and doctors battled for 20 minutes to bring him back to life.
He said his problems began when he was relentlessly beaten by a gang of school bullies every day for over a year because he was 'different'.
He was so desperate to stop the beatings that he started compulsively exercising and lifting weights to bulk up, throwing his lunch away in an attempt to change his appearance and 'fit in' at school.
But eventually, unable to stop the bullies, he dropped out of school.
He said: "I started lifting weights to try and get bigger to defend myself against the bullies, but I also began skipping meals, thinking this would help me bulk up.
"But the weight started falling off me, and it felt good to have something in my life I could actually control. Fed up of with the abuse I dropped out of school."
Alone at home, while his mother Brenda, 61, worked full time as a civil servant, Matthew skipped breakfast and lunch, exercising up to eight hours a day.
Eventually, after he'd stopped eating altogether and had shrunk to 7st, his worried mother Brenda took her son to the doctor.
He was diagnosed with anorexia and hospitalised two months later weighing just 5st, 8lbs.
During his stay, he managed to put on some weight, but as soon as he went home he went back to his old habits, lying to his mum about what he'd eaten and how much he'd exercised – the latter for sometimes up to eight hours a day.
He had begun purging his food and abusing laxatives, taking up to 40 a day.
He spent the whole of Christmas Day 2010 on his exercise bike, unable to relax at the thought of gaining just one pound. His anorexia sparked an all-consuming OCD, leading him to spend up to 16-hours a day walking in circles around his living room, unable to sit down.
At his worst, Matthew stopped drinking for three weeks, refusing to brush his teeth or even wash his face in fear that just a drop of water would see him gain weight. His lips were constantly bleeding from the dehydration.
He said: "By January 2011 nothing was allowed to pass through my mouth. I would wake up at 4am every morning and pace my bedroom in a zombie state until 10 o'clock at night.
"By the end I couldn't swallow, my lips were cracked and were constantly bleeding. My face was practically rotting."
In February 2011, when he was 18, Matthew was sectioned by his doctor and rushed to Fairfield Hospital in Bury.
Two days later he suffered heart failure and died for 20 minutes. Doctors were able to revive him, but told him he would die again if he didn't start eating.
Matthew said: "I remember waking up and the doctor looking at me saying 'you just died,' I couldn't believe it. I burst into tears. They said if they hadn't had taken me in when they did I'd be dead. It was the wake up call I needed to start recovering.
"When my mum turned up and told me they had rang her after 10 minutes of trying to revive me telling her I might not live, I felt so guilty for putting her through it all.
"I asked her to pass me a mirror so I could look at my face. When I saw my reflection I didn't recognise the person staring back at me.
"I looked like an 80-year-old man, not an 18-year-old boy. I was being tube fed and had to go to the toilet through a tube. It was humiliating."
Matthew's body was so damaged that doctors had to check his blood every two hours to monitor his glucose levels. The starvation had caused liver, kidney and heart failure.
Matthew fell unconscious two days later after suffering from re-feeding syndrome. He spent four weeks in hospital being fed through tubes and was later referred to Cheadle Adult Eating Disorder clinic for further treatment and physiotherapy to help him walk again.
Matthew, who now lives in Lowestoft, Suffolk with girlfriend, Tammy Earrye, 18 said: "Gradually my body started to recover and I was determined never to go back to hospital again.
"I became more positive and began to eat, increasing my calorie intake every day.
"A year after I was discharged I met Tammy online. At first I was scared to tell her what had happened to me, but once I opened up to her she was so understanding and caring. I could tell her anything.
"She was my first girlfriend and she made me feel like I wasn't a freak and that she liked me for who I was.
"Whenever I feel insecure about my body she tells me she loves me the way I am and that I should be confident about the way I look. I still get horrible thoughts, but she's there to support me on my down days."
Matthew is now training to become a fitness trainer.
"My near death experience made me realise how much I really wanted to live. It changed my outlook on life and I was determined to recover.
"Knowing I might not have lived still upsets me today. I feel guilty for putting my mum through the worry of losing a child.
"Coming back from the dead made me want to live. I was given a second chance at life and wasn't going to waste it."

This home site is so close to the beach! Close enough to the gulf to afford gulf views from a multi story home, it is also just a stone's throw from Eastern Lake. Dalton Place at Seagrove is an upscale neighborhood with only eight home sites surrounding the community pool. It is located south of 30 A, and south of Eastern Lake Rd., next door to Summer's Edge in Seagrove Beach. The pool, clubhouse, and paver streets are in place, and the beach walkover is just a few steps away. Great location, off the beaten path, but still within biking distance to Seaside to the west, or Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach to the east, and all the wonderful restaurants and shops along the way!

Your idea does not look formal and elegant to me and most importantly it relies mostly on definitions in natural language. Our definition is three formal bullets and it contains everything it should be told. My final proposal: we use our idea with orderedmerge (which has already been massaged in a nice text in <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ DataAccess/rq23>, that still contains few minor imprecisions I'll point out in another mail), and immediately after Andy will provide the explanation of it by showing how it would be equivalent to the union and a more restricted scoping graph, exactly in the way he says that it is equivalent to subgraph matching. Can you buy this compromise? --e.Received on Thursday, 19 January 2006 23:23:23 UTC

Portage Department of Public Safety dispatch responded to a search and rescue call Saturday, Nov. 19 -- the man in trouble: stuck up to his waist in mud.
According to PDPS, around 3:40 p.m., the man said he was located near Sugar Loaf Lake at the end of Rolling Hill Avenue in Portage. However, when three Portage Fire Units arrived to the scene, they could not locate him.
Portage dispatch used the man's GPS location services on his cell phone to track down his exact location and maintain communication until his battery ran out.
While in contact, dispatch determined the man was on the west side of the lake in the wooded wet lands area. Search teams containing firefighters, a police officer, local residents and Life EMS medics were then sent out to rescue him.
After an hour and 20 minutes of searching, a team of three Portage firefighters located the man stuck and pulled him out of the mud and onto dry ground, which took an additional 20 minutes. At this point, it was too dark and other teams were unable to locate them and assist in the rescue, PDPS says.
Fire, police, ambulance and Michigan DNR units were located around the perimeter of the search area with emergency lights and occasional sirens use to help the search time find the fastest way out of the area. After an additional 50 minutes, the search team found the DNR officer's vehicle and were transported out of the woods.
The man stuck was transported to an area hospital for evaluation, however there were no reports of any serious injury.

Pros : Excellent mileage for long trips
Cons : less boot space comapred to similar models
If you are looking for good economical small car, go for A-Star.. It is really fantastic. I am getting consistently 22+ mileage for long trips even before the 2nd service.
Maruti will bring A Star automatic this july 2010. I am looking for Automatic variant and i guess A star will be the cheapest, and yet reliable automatic car in India.
A Star Automatic will be a super choice to drive in slow moving city traffic. I am looking for an affordable automatic with good mileage. Hence, A Star will be the best suitable car
To participate in the Maruti A Star contest,become a group member for facebook group http://bit.ly/cLyPvJ, write on wall ? ?your price? of Maruti A Star Automatic for the ?city? in which you live! and you can win exciting prices.
The leg space both front and rear is very very less. Rest every thing is OK. I was about to book but changed my mind and booked Zen Estilo.
My AStar was provided with scratch guards at both sides running below the door handles throughout its length.I am doubtful about the location of the guard.It gives a bad look as it is very close to handle.It is not at the bottom as it is found in other models.Can any one clear this doubt?More over it never guarded my car.A scratch was made at the very bottom of the guard.
I think for a person like me who drives to work daily in Delhi, A-Star is the perfect city car. Someone suggested it while I wanted to test-drive WagonR and I'm pretty happy with the results so far. With the new engine and young looks, it's pretty kool for me! I'm happy!

Joanna Newsom's Ys isn't the only worthy Nov. 14 release from Drag City. White Magic's Dat Rosa Mel Apibus also comes out that day. Pitchfork gave this track 4 1/2 stars, calling it "some snake-charming, kaleidoscopic, aboriginal shit." So, yeah, between this song and the lead single "Katie Cruel," we've been mesmerized by this record for the last couple days.

1902 | CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – The identity of Chicago's National League team is so ingrained that it's hard to imagine the franchise not being called the Cubs, but for the first quarter century of the team's existence it wasn't. They were known at various times as White Stockings, Colts, even Orphans – more on that in a moment.
The Cubs moniker can be traced to the Chicago Daily News newspaper of this date in 1902. The term for young bears was used by a sportswriter at spring training to describe a team with a bunch of young but promising players. The story's headline read:
Manager of the Cubs is in Doubt Only on Two Positions
A search of newspaper archives at Chicago's Newberry Library shows that that March 27, 1902 story is the earliest known use of the term "Cubs" to describe the team. The article mentioned it once more in describing the intentions of the manager:
"Frank Selee will devote his strongest efforts on the team work of the new Cubs this year."
The name caught on, which wasn't surprising considering the club was known as Orphans at the time.
Here's how that came about, as a charter member of the National League in 1876 the team was known as the Chicago White Stockings. A few years later star Cap Anson became player/manager, and sportswriters began referring to the team as Anson's Colts, and eventually just Colts.
Anson was also known as "Pop." When he left the team in 1897 the team became known as Orphans. Get it? You knew "Cubs" would stick when rival papers such as the Chicago Tribune (which later owned the team) began to use it.
Interestingly, when the Cubs relinquished the name White Stockings, the new American League franchise grabbed it, shortened it, and have been known as the White Sox ever since.
When the National Football League came to town in the 1920's, the team chose Bears because they played in the home of Cubs.

This is a unique five story townhouse in the most desirable location in Harbour Town. It has a completely renovated kitchen, new floors, paint, bathrooms, etc, by a design team, and redecorated with antique furniture from our store in Atlanta, Jacqueline Adams Antiques. This town house is one of a kind, with many exceptional features, to name just a few: 1) There is an elevator that has access to the first through fourth floors. 2) The fifth floor observation deck with a view of the lighthouse and Harbour Town...along with Calibogue Sound and Daufuskie Island.

The kitchen is now open to the dining room and living room, all with great views of the fairway, with the 18th green to the right (of the famous Harbour Town course). The first floor rooms all feature authentic barn beams and there is an 18th Century French walnut antique fireplace in the living room. 5) The second and third floor each have two full bedrooms and baths. 6) The fourth floor also features an additional kitchen, a full bath, a living room and dining room that are open to each other, and a deck that overlooks the golf course and the Calibogue Sound water view. This floor also features authentic barn beams supported by 17th Century columns imported from the island of Monsurat, salvaged from the recent volcano. The barn beams on the 1st and 4th floors are salvagedE from the Amish area of Mount Vernon, Ohio. There's also a fireplace with a stone 18th Century French mantle. The 4th floor kitchen includes a wine cooler, full size refrigerator, dish washer, sink, and microwave. There's also a hideaway sofa, double bed size, on the fourth floor. 7) The fifth bedroom is a bunk room on the first floor that is suitable for sleeping two kids and has a full bath which is located near the kitchen (and serves as a downstairs powder room). 8) We are pet friendly with a pet fee of $150.
The outside of this townhouse has been completely renovated and includes attractive French wrought iron balconies, fencing, and decorative shutters, and also has a new metal roof. The walkway in the back of the house on the golf course side has been revised to include railings and stairs to the ground level and extensive landscaping has been added. Please note that the house is an end unit, which means there is a significant amount of open space to the left, looking towards the golf course, which enhances the view on all five floors. The house has an elevator and a stairway (the stairway has been upgraded with the addition of wrought iron railings), and has wood or stone flooring throughout.
We do have free pool access. This rental home has swimming privileges at a pool just steps away located to the right at the cul-de-sac, behind the buildings called Harbor Town South Club Units 1098-1106 It's across from Harbor Town Green 31 Lighthouse Lane. It's a relatively large private pool behind a complex only four or five houses away. Keep in mind there's no life guard.
For beach enthusiasts, the brand new Sea Pines Beach Club is only one mile away - it is a really fabulous new addition to Sea Pines with many upgraded or new amenities, including in & outdoor dinning, a second floor bar & restaurant with fabulous ocean views, additional & valet parking, a new Tiki Bar & too many other features to detail here!
The nice thing about this town home is all of the space throughout five floors, including a very spacious fourth floor with its own kitchen, dining room, bathroom, patio with balcony and fantastic views from up high. It really makes this residence truly unique. Also noteworthy is that all year round there's stunning views of the sunset on all five floors over Daufuskie Island…a superb feature.
We also have two other rental properties in Sea Pines near Harbour Town…one is a villa in Twin Oaks that has been renovated and designer decorated, and the other is a spectacular new home located near the 16th green on the Harbour Town course, also designer decorated with many one a kind European details…Check these links:

This town home is owned by a family in the antique business in Atlanta who's antique shop Jacqueline Adams Antiques originated on Hilton Head Island in Harbour Town and has been significantly expanded since beginning in the late 70"s and now includes a second generation of family members. The owners were very well versed on good real estate locations having previously owned three villas and one home in Sea Pines.
James Adams purchased this townhome in 2013
The owners bought this town home feeling it was the best available in Sea Pines because of it size and location with beautiful views and wonderful large roof top deck and hot tub. We love location near Harbour Town!
The premium quality of the new designer and antique furnishings and excellent location and fantastic views. Large roof top deck is perfect with the hot tub.
Loved this place!! My husband needed an elevator and this property delivered! Great experience!
We just spent our Thanksgiving week at Seapines, Harbour Town. We had 6 adults and 5 kids, ages 14-8. The bunk room on the main floor was perfect for smaller children, and the teenager slept on the sleeper sofa on the 4th floor. The kids loved the hot tub, even on chilly afternoons. The other bedrooms were very nice, with comfortable beds, all kings. It made it hard to get up every morning. The main level had wall to wall windows/doors looking out over the 18th fairway, and water. It was a beautiful setting for morning coffee and evening cocktails. I highly recommend this place, we will be back!!!
My family of 15 (9 adults, 7 children) enjoyed our stay at this property very much. The owners did a great job describing the townhouse and promptly called in a service call for the air conditioning (was working when we got there, but malfunctioned shortly into our stay), which was fixed the same day we inquired about it. Jim and Vicki Adams were exceptional to work with through the entire rental process, from deposit through the end of our stay. The hot tub on the upper deck was very relaxing with a view overlooking the 18th fairway of the golf course and the bay. There are two kitchens / dining areas, each with 8 seats at each table, and two large refrigerators to keep plenty of food and drinks cold. The Sea Pines pool is a short 5 minute walk away and for a reasonable fee, provided hours of entertainment for the entire family. We would certainly recommend!
We spent a long weekend at the Spinnaker townhome and really enjoyed our stay! We were very impressed with the elegant Tuscan décor of this spacious townhome and the fantastic views. There are 4 large bedrooms with very comfortable king sized beds and private bathrooms which made it perfect to share with extended family. We all enjoyed gathering in the 4th floor family room with access to the fantastic roof top deck. The deck has a huge hot tub which is perfect for relaxing while enjoying a beautiful sunset over the Calibogue Sound and the 18th green. We also loved the location of the villa because it was only a short walk or bike ride to Harbor Town to visit all the restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again!!
This has to be my favorite place in Hilton Head! The location and views are incredible, and the townhouse is much bigger than you originally think...The 5th floor patio with hot tub is the icing on the cake. Easy to walk to Harbour Town and enjoy the views...and it's just a few minutes drive from the new Sea Pines Beach Club! I gotta say that Sea Pines is really doing a great job with some of the new projects like the beach club and golf club houses.
The details of the interior are so well done, very high quality with tasteful design and colors. We will definitely be back soon!
We stayed in this town home for a last minute vacation in December! The water views across the golf course with Daufuskee Island in the distance were incredible from every room and luckily we had very nice weather. Since we were near Harbour Town we easily road bicycles to see the yachts, to the new beach club and even down to South Beach. We really enjoyed having such large bedrooms with comfortable beds and all the beautiful décor.
I would recommend this five star townhouse to anyone looking for a high quality vacation in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Sea Pines and Harbour Town are beautiful with lots of fun things to do.

How do I apply for student teaching?
Applications for Student Teaching are available from the Director of Field Experiences, in the Student Teaching Handbook, and from your advisor.
I am an undergraduate student and would like to student teach after graduation. Is this possible?
An undergraduate student can student teach after graduation. To do so, you must also submit a shortened application for graduate admission through the Admissions Office.

You will find out your student teaching assignment at a mandatory meeting the week before student teaching begins. The university places students in districts throughout San Diego County and works with site leaders to locate optimal experiences for each student. Students can request placement within specific districts. However, we cannot guarantee that all requests can be honored specifically.
Can I work part-time during my student teaching assignment?
Student Teaching is a full-time experience. Being successful requires hours of preparation. We recommend that you not hold a job or take coursework along with student teaching.
Can I interview for a job while student teaching?
Yes, you can set up job interviews during student teaching. Make sure that your co-operating teacher and your university supervisor are aware of the exact times when you will need to be out of the classroom. If you are responsible for lesson planning, you need to provide those lessons to your co-operating teacher in advance.

You can be sure your project will meet the highest standards of quality and workmanship because we want you to be as proud of our work as we are.
Soffit Repair
If you walk up to the side of your house and you look straight up the area between the edge and underneath the roof is the soffit. It looks like siding, has ribs and generally has ventilation holes. However, if you see wood there, be aware that it needs to be painted frequently in order to prevent dry rot. The soffit must also be well ventilated so that the formation of mold and mildew does not occur. Gutter Solutions repairs and replaces dry rotted or damaged soffits.
Fascia Installation / Repair
Fascia is the board that connects underneath your roof line to your rafters. It can be made from a variety of materials including wood, PVC, and wood-PVC composite. Although not all houses have fascia, we recommend it be installed because this is the most secure surface to hang your gutters from. Protect your home today!

Review our submission guidelines before getting started
Remember the Sony Watchman of the 1980s? It was a miniature, portable TV. Sony should use that name for its watches--especially since it has 'Man' in it, which would signify the inclusion of Walkman Audio in Sony watches. Powerful differentiating factor for Sony's smartwatch. There are SO many companies releasing smartwatches, but little to distinguish among them. WATCHMAN would be perfect: a WATCH with WALKMAN capabilities.
Sony needs to go to college campuses and other institutions to demo its Sony Paper tablet. It's the perfect size for viewing documents in their entirety and the E-ink technology lets you take notes and annotate, in a format that is easy on the eyes (a key issue for students, professors, lawyers, researchers). Yes, it's expensive at $1000 but that's partly because so few people have bought it, that the product does not have economies of scale. And so few people have bought it because no one knows about it...because, as we all know, Sony does not market. Which brings us back to: Sony needs to go to college campuses and conduct hands-on demos of its Sony Digital Paper E-tablet. Get to it, Sony.
I have a recommendation for products of your company( Television)
when I change the channel of my TV the volume sound of channels is deferent and I need a tools or devise that it can constant the volume of sound in all channel that when I change the channel the volume of sound is fixed .

Hello! Late last year I purchased the Sony HDRPJ260V video camera right before my first child (Ellie) was born on Nov 24th. I purchased the camera so I'd have something that could shoot high quality video but that was easy to use and hassel free. My wife and I committed to video taping our daughter every day for the first year of her life. We've had some challenges with food allergies, but have met our goal (mostly) and today Ellie turned one. I now have many hours of footage that I'd like to turn in to a video montage (one second or less per day of her life) to celebrate her first year. My goal is to get this done by Christmas. Depending the music we decide to use, I'm not sure what my options will be to share the video, but I just wanted to say thank you. The camera more than delivered for us and really made this venture possible. I've worked in digital marketing and professional video production for over ten years... and I couldn't be happer with the results of this consumer camera. I'd recommend this product to any parent looking for a great way to document their kid's lives. Thanks Sony!

I have a rather provocative question… is this pie WHOLE? The answer… "Yes". What makes it whole? Is it the fact that it isn't missing any pieces? No, what makes this pie WHOLE, is that it is the end product of what the Baker had originally intended. In math if an image has all its parts (a pie for example), it is considered whole. If you take a piece away however…
In the book of John Jesus came across a man who had been ill for 30 years and unable to walk. What was Jesus' first question to the man… "Will you be made whole?" (John 5:6) Jesus didn't profess the man was healed until after the man decided that he would allow Jesus to help. Jesus is a gentleman and He will not force Himself on any man. The value we as readers need to see in this scripture is two fold:
- We were created in our ENTIRETY from the Creator. Just like the pie from the Baker, if we came out of our mother's with the breath of life – we have been made in His Image. But what about the disabled? MADE IN HIS IMAGE. What about different races? MADE IN HIS IMAGE. It is only by way of the sin in this world that we are separated from God, and it is in this sin that unavoidably our pie is torn to pieces.
- Thanks to the sin in this world, our life experiences and the ignorant presumptions of others our wholeness becomes taken from us. It is only through our decision to forgive, let go, and allow the Lord to make us whole!
When you consider all of the external influences in your life that have made an impression on your overall psyche, it is dizzying! Everyone everywhere taking a piece of your pie!
You have to CHOOSE to let Jesus do His work in you. In this picture the "you pie" is being torn in every direction and there is no glue that can put a cut pie back together. This pie would have to be SPIRITUALLY reassembled, just like new. A new creation.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Cor 5:17
In a matter of 30 seconds or less you can make the decision to be "made whole". As a blog writer one of my jobs is to read books and write reviews about the books that I have read, or am currently reading. (See yesterday's post) A must have book that I have read recently: 30 Second Solution: Transform Your Body, Business, Relationship, and Life in Just Seconds at a Time by Ron Kardashian goes into great detail on the power our split second decisions make to our lives, how those decisions can make or break us – literally. The decision to allow the Lord to make you WHOLE takes only a matter of seconds – and those seconds can and will permanently change your life FOREVER.
"Jesus, I need you. I need wholeness in my life. I believe that you died and rose again, took my sin and because of you I am a new creation. I invite you to become the Lord of my life. Yes Lord, I receive you!"
If you have just prayed this prayer of salvation, or have rededicated your life to Christ Jessica would like to hear from you! You can email her here at: email@example.com, subject line: I SAID YES!

I have a birthday card that I made using the "Hope Princess" stamp set. These are some
very adorable stamps! Beauty and the Beast premieres this weekend, so I thought this Belle stamp was fitting! I have a couple of more Beauty and the Beast inspired cards that I'll post before the week is over.
Here is my card...
I created the background by doing some no line water coloring. It was bright, so I layered some vellum over it and then placed the cut out stamp on top using 3D dots. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I die cut "happy" in some glitter felt, and then stamped "birthday."

UC Berkeley urged to slash athletics subsidy
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, July 13, 2010
At UC Berkeley, where academic departments are not allowed to run deficits, cost-cutting looks like this: 63 chronic roof leaks around campus, once-a-month garbage collection, some staff paychecks hovering near the poverty line and faculty phone lines yanked.
Berkeley's athletic department has no such deficit prohibition. Even as its $70 million budget soared by 61 percent during the recession, it still managed to spend more than it had. Campus administrators helped out by handing the department $13.7 million last year. Such subsidies average $11 million per year, says a panel of eight faculty members and alumni donors whose report, released Monday, minced no words in describing the contrasting fortunes of Berkeley's athletic and academic sides.
The report found that the university's athletic subsidies are among the highest in the nation. At Berkeley, that's money that might have been used to upgrade antiquated labs and save lecturers' jobs.
Athletics may be the well-loved public face of UC Berkeley - and even a magnet for philanthropic dollars to the entire campus - but the department is a financial mess and should receive no more than $5 million a year from the campus, concluded the panel, which was convened in March by Chancellor Robert Birgeneau to offer solutions to the controversial issue.

The Cal athletics department gets most of its money from alumni donors, television revenue and ticket sales. The panel criticized the department's poor control of its finances, calling it an "unacceptable" system "that makes serious financial management nearly impossible." The department should reduce costs and do more to raise philanthropic donations, it said.
Spending caps
The panelists also urged spending caps for teams and staff.
"While the rest of the campus has, over several years, cut deeply into the bone of academic staff and programs, intercollegiate athletics' staff has grown significantly, as have program expenses," their report said. "The culture of what has appeared to be unconstrained spending must change."
At the same time, the panelists suggested hiring a director of development to bring in more philanthropic donations and a chief operating officer to hold down expenses.
The panelists did not recommend reducing teams, as UC Davis has done.
UC Berkeley has 29 intercollegiate teams, well beyond the minimum of 16 needed to qualify to compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Pacific-10 Conference.
Birgeneau commended the report and said it "will provide important guidance as we begin to sort through a number of possible approaches to put intercollegiate athletics back on a financially sustainable path."
Loud opposition
Faculty opposition to the athletic subsidies grew louder last year, as the state's economic crisis forced big hits on academics, including pay reductions, layoffs, furloughs and cuts that left the school a less pleasant place to work and study.
With the campus facing a $150 million deficit in November, the faculty's Academic Senate voted to urge Birgeneau to stop subsidizing athletics as soon as possible.
The Academic Senate later recommended that the athletic subsidy shrink to $5 million by 2014, and eventually to zero.
Chris Kutz, chairman of the Academic Senate, sits on the chancellor's panel, which did not recommend that campus subsidies drop to zero.
Reduced subsidy
Instead, the panel's four professors and four alumni donors recommended reducing the subsidy to $5 million a year by 2014, saying that allocating that amount could be justified.
Yet they called the figure "arbitrary, since it represents not a defined calculation, but a compromise among (panel) members with different views."
Brian Barsky, a computer science professor who has led an "academics first" movement on campus, said the report "ignores the will of the faculty, who resoundingly voted that intercollegiate athletics should live within its means and not be draining campus coffers of any funds."
Birgeneau said he will work with Athletic Director Sandy Barbour and Vice Chancellor Frank Yeary to develop a plan based on the new recommendations by early fall.
UC Berkeley athletic funding
UC Berkeley's Advisory Council on Intercollegiate Athletics Financial Sustainability issued its final recommendations to Chancellor Robert Birgeneau, left, on Monday for tackling the controversial issue of campus athletic subsidies at a time when academic programs have been forced to cut millions of dollars.
The report: Read it at sfgate.com/ZJZB.
