Soulshine holistic wellness retreats
6-Night Luxury Yoga Retreat
24th to 30th September
Soulshine Retreats are always very small, with numbers limited (under 10 guests) so the dedicated Soulshine Team can give each and every one of you plenty of personal attention and help to develop your yoga practice on an individual level.
Your Teacher
In order to provide a truly holistic experience on your healing and restorative Soulshine journey there will be one lead Yoga teacher each week, guiding you through your morning session of Yoga and Meditation and working in conjunction with the extensive Soulshine Holistic Wellness Team to provide a truly holistic experience. Read on to find out more about the lead Soulshine teacher for these dates.
Rachel Spain
Yoga warrior, professional dancer, Pilates expert and long-time devotee of the magic of Yoga, Rachel holds the powerful intention to make the world a better place, one OM at a time
About Rachel
Rachel's journey to yoga started when her Nana to her to a dancing school aged just 8 years old - she was instantly hooked! Dancing provided Rachel with the similar feeling to Yoga - when you dance you are completely in the moment and nothing else matters. When attending a Yoga workshop during her time as a professional dancer Rachel became instantly entranced by the Yoga magic and the immense feeling of lightness that she experienced when practicing! With the realisation that Yoga was much more than just stretching and strengthening the body, she carried this curiosity on to a teacher training with Claire Missingham.
The training changed her life on a profound level, sending her on an inward journey to to seek her highest potential in order to help others and try to make the world a better place in whatever small way that she could. She started to see the world in a more open and flexible way, learning to handle and embrace the ebb and flow of life. With the understanding that Yoga and all that it encompasses is a lifelong journey and a lifelong practice, she aims to cultivate grace and gratitude in every moment.
What to expect
Rachel's classes are fluid, flowing, challenging and with strong intention. As a trained Pilates teacher she provides clear, precise, safe and alignment focussed classes. Synchronising movement with breath, expect to be guided through a dance of asana (yoga pose) sequences to stretch and strengthen both the body and mind, releasing physical and mental tension held from any stress and worry. Her aim is to teach each individual to find their own inner teacher, to avoid rising to the ego and forcing or straining beyond our current limits and to develop a compassionate approach to our needs, both on and off the mat. By cultivating acceptance, an understanding that change is constant and the ability to go with the flow, she hopes to help each student on their journey to Santosha - a place of joy, peace and contentment.
Her inspiration
Claire Missingham, Stewart Gilchrist, JIvamukti - Sharon Gannon and David Life and Annie Carpenter

Retreat Lowdown
Your Soulshine Retreat Centre Experience
Join the Soulshine Team on the magical island of Ibiza and find yourself relaxed, renewed and inspired in mind, body and spirit. Your time at Casa de la Luz, our luxury Ibiza Soulshine Retreat Centre, will provide the ultimate opportunity to pause from the crazy pace of modern day life. To rediscover and reconnect with your true nature and to shine bright!
For such a magical space, where light streams in from every angle from the endless expanse of the infinite stunning sea views, the translation of Casa de la Luz, 'House of Light', could not be more appropriate. And this name gains even more resonance when considering how perfectly formed and intimately small groups come together to partake in deeply healing, transformative, empowering and relaxing practices under the care and guidance of our handpicked team of Soulshine Hosts and Wellness Experts. Not to mention all the laughter, new friendships, lazy long deliciously healthy meals, star-filled nights and serious sunbathing that you can look forward to!

It really is an utterly jam-packed schedule of healing loveliness! The retreat will be very small, with numbers limited to no more than 10 guests, so that each and every one of you can luxuriate in oodles of personal attention from the Soulshine Team (that's how special with think that you are).

Villa and Suites
Our Soulshine Villa
Nestled into the hillside on the luxury Ibizan development of Roca Llisa and with endless panoramic views over the Mediterranean, Casa de la Luz is a beautiful and very loved luxury private family home that has now been developed to extend the love to our small groups of Soulshine guests. Built in the traditional cubist style of the White Isle of Ibiza, it is a modern home with floor to ceiling windows throughout the villa and plenty of outdoor space to maximise on the incredible views in every moment.
As with all Soulshine Retreats, Casa de la Luz provides the perfect space to unwind and relax away from the hubbub of the world, allowing you to take the time to truly engage with your surroundings and nature.
At Casa de la Luz you will find…
- Four ridiculously spacious ensuite bedrooms for guests – all with views out to sea
- A Yoga and Meditation terrace with endless views out to sea
- An infinity style swimming pool with uninterrupted views out to the sea (you get the picture!)
- Multiple terraces for relaxing
- A sauna and small gym
- A private beach a ten minute drive away and many more beaches within close driving distance
Check out this Soulshine film to get a real feel for Casa de la Luz – then you really won't want to miss out!
Culinary Delights
Deliciously Detoxing Food
The food on the retreat is prepared with great experience and nutritional wisdom by our incredible team of private Chefs. Both have had experience working in Michelin star restaurants in Madrid and have turned their attention towards creating 'food as medicine'. All the meals are truly a delicious delight, prepared with exceptional produce, the highest healing attention and more love and attention than you can possibly imagine. You definitely won't be going hungry!
Superb locally grown ingredients are sourced every day from the local markets and all food is organic - providing an opportunity for your body to cleanse, renew and restore in this healing environment. To provide a truly nurturing, nourishing and healing experience, food will be gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian. We believe that this really provides an opportunity for your body to heal and detox – especially in conjunction with all the other healthy practices that you'll be enjoying. Guests have commented again & again on how astounded they are by the quality of the food and how great they feel after a week eating such healing & healthy fare (even our very tall and strapping gentlemen yogis!). Never fear if you need your steak and cheese fix though (we are in Spain after all), as there will be also be free time when you can venture out to sample the allure & delight of the many superb restaurants in Ibiza for lunch or dinner!
We are of course very happy to accommodate any special dietary requirements.

About Ibiza
About Ibiza
Known as the 'White Isle' due to the prevalence of bougainvillea-clad white architecture, Ibiza has long attracted those seeking healing, relaxation and rejuvenation – all in stunning island surroundings. For many, the word Ibiza conjures up images of all night parties & hangovers to match them! For those in the know however, Ibiza is so much more than these super clubs.
It is quite simply stunning! Just a small island, it is scattered in endless pine trees, with gentle mountains and surrounded by a calm and crystal clear turquoise sea. There are a multitude of small hidden bays that you can visit, as well as the stunning ramparts of Ibiza old town, traditional rural Ibicencan villages, artisan markets and an incredible array of local and international restaurants. From hippies to high-flyers – Ibiza has it all, and this is why people journey back to the magical White Isle again and again.
If you fancy a little more action than simply lounging by the pool or on your mat during your time in Ibiza, then there are plenty of things to explore and experiences to be had on the White Isle. You can try out horse-riding, explore the local hippy markets, head to the water for sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, jet skiing and stand-up paddle boarding. Why not check out the sunset drumming sessions of the local hippies, wander the bustling and winding streets of Ibiza old town or even head scuba diving! The Soulshine Team will be happy to help you organize any activities during your stay.
Check out the Ibiza Tourist Board Film. Yes, we know that it's a little cheesy but it does give a great sneaky-peak at all that this amazing island has to offer (& just how ridiculously beautiful it is):

Reviews and Client Feedback
"Soulla, I'd like to say thank you, thank you, thank you for what you have released in me in this retreat. I haven't had time or taken the time to look into myself and reconnect with my spirit for some time. I came to the retreat with an open mind and what I have taken away – thanks to you – is beyond my expectations." Tanya, Financial Advisor, Ibiza Soulshine Retreat guest
"You are an AMAZING teacher, your soul, your heart and your warmth shine through all of your practices, The practices were very educational, inspiring, energetic and relaxing through and through and so very well organized!! I can't say enough about how much I've enjoyed my stay here. I feel totally relaxed, de-stressed, inspired, engaged, connected to my spiritual self and ready to change my life for the better. You're a lovely special person with a gift that you need to share with the world." Laura, Marketing Executive, previous Ibiza Soulshine Retreat guest
"Soulla is a beautiful, loving, giving soul! She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. Her guided imagery, yoga Nidra and asana guidance is spot and so engaging. Soulla went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed" Amanda, Yoga Studio Owner, Soulshine Moroccan Adventure guest
"Soulla's classes feel like one beautiful, long poem. She weaves words and movements so eloquently together and proves that teaching yoga is an art." Sigrid, Community Worker, Soulshine Moroccan Adventure guest
"If I could practice yoga every day with Soulla, I would. Her fun and unique approach to classes combined with her deep knowledge of Yoga and Ayurveda create a truly wonderful experience. I came on the retreat with no particular expectations or things to 'fix' but through her classes, what Soulla's love and compassion has given me is quite remarkable; a renewed love of yoga and some very fond memories of belly-laughing on the mountain. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Emma, Lawyer, Soulshine Snow Yoga Adventure guest

Well, I was at the long awaited public Oracle/Sun strategy briefing yesterday. A rather long affair that certainly would have been enough time to cover all aspects of where the combined company is heading. They did a pretty good job of it. There were a lot of statements that basically said "we are investing in Sun's product X and Oracle's product Y continues to be the strategic direction", i.e. a lot of "and" and not a lot of "but". Especially during the software strategy talk. But despite this inclusive theme there were however some glaring oversights and a missed opportunity to provide clarity and state what they will NOT do.
As I told some people I met during lunch, it'll be interesting to sit down later and ponder over what was NOT said or what was glossed over during the presentations and compare that with the statements that WERE made.
Being an HPC guy, my ears perked up when I heard the Lustre parallel file system mentioned as an example of an important open source project during Charles Phillips opening address. But as it turned out, that was the extent of telling us about the path forward with regards to HPC for Oracle/Sun. It was also the extent of Lustre directions. With nothing explicitly said about HPC, I and others are left to speculate and read between the lines.
What WAS said was that Sun's x64 systems would be focused on integrated clusters for the enterprise. They emphasized "integrated" and "enterprise". I guess you can interpret that in several ways, but to me that sounds pretty much like the Exadata system that was launched in the fall and very different from selling general purpose servers (that btw also can be used for HPC). Was that a bone thrown towards Dell?
Oracle's On Demand centers use Dell servers and NetApp storage as far as I know. I can imagine these will be switched to Sun servers and storage going forward. NetApp got sort of a black eye when Larry Ellison positioned Sun's ZFS storage appliance as a next generation NextApp, just better, faster and cheaper. There was no further reference to Dell however. The gloves never came off. A lot of Oracle software run on Dell hardware…
HP wasn't mentioned much either, IBM was used for almost all competitive comparisons. I guess I'd put what happens with the Dell and HP relationships in the "glossed over" category.
Good to hear that they are hiring though. That message wasn't glossed over.
Update: HPCwire made similar observation with regards to the future of HPC at Oracle/Sun

Leicester, Mass. – MIT kicked off its 2011 football season the same way it started the 2010 campaign, with a win over Becker College. The Engineers used a balanced attack that came up with 28 first-half points as they went on to take a 35-13 victory. Freshman Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.) rushed for 171 yards and one score for MIT (1-0) in his first collegiate game. Quarterback Bobby Baker led Becker (0-2) with 273 yards passing.
Both defenses had the upper hand at the start of the game, with neither team able to pick up a first down on their first two drives. MIT's defense set up the first score of the game when it held Becker on a fourth-down attempt, giving the Engineers the ball in great field position at the Becker 49-yard line. After the Engineers picked up the initial first down of the game, sophomore John Wenzel (Mandeville, La) found freshman Ben Hessels (Laytonsville, Md.) streaking down the middle of the field, connecting with him on the 37-yard scoring pass for MIT's first points of the season.
It was special teams that came up with the next big play of the game for MIT. After the Engineer defense had stopped another Becker drive, senior Peter Gilliland (Grand Ledge, Mich.) broke through the line on the ensuing punt, blocking Eric Glynn's attempt. The ball eventually rolled out of bounds at the Becker 19, giving MIT excellent field position. The Engineers took advantage four plays later when Wallace broke up the middle on fourth down for 10 yards and the score.
Midway through the second quarter Wenzel rolled left on a punt attempt and kept going, picking up 21 yards and a first down at the Hawk 38-yard line. Senior Justin Kresz (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) made an acrobatic catch over a defender for 21 more yards that set up the next MIT score, a 12-yard toss from Wenzel to freshman Alexander Chumbley (Atlanta, Ga). The Engineers struck again late in the half when they connected on a 38-yard pass play from Wenzel to Kresz to set up the final score of the half. The Wenzel-Kresz combo struck again, this time from 19 yards out to put MIT up 28-0 at the half.
MIT's defense kept the Becker offense contained in its own end of the field until late in the third quarter when a Robert Baker to Josh Jones 22-yard pass put the ball in MIT territory at the 44. The Engineer defense held when sophomore Joel Santisteban (Lawrence, N.Y.) dropped Ezequiel Torres for a two-yard loss on a fourth and two play.
With time running down in the third a 41-yard Wallace run set up the next MIT score, a four-yard sneak by Wenzel on the first play of the fourth quarter that made it 35-0. Becker answered with its best drive of the game that was sparked by the passing of Baker. A key play came when a tipped ball was hauled in by Luis Sanchez for 25 yards to the MIT 39. The Hawks eventually had a first and goal from the five, but the MIT defense held, with senior Teddy Tzanetos (Plainview, N.Y.) stopping Kyle Gregg at the one.
Becker finally broke through on its next possession, needing just one play to reach the end zone. From his own five-yard line Baker found Corinthian Bostic (Jacksonville, Fla.) open over the middle. Bostic pulled in the pass, eluded a couple of MIT defenders, and out-raced the rest of the Engineers to the end zone to complete the 95-yard play with 5:56 left in the contest.
Gregg provided Becker with some more razzle-dazzle just a couple of minutes later when he pulled in an MIT punt at his own 20, picked up a couple of key blocks and raced down the right sideline for the score.
MIT finished with 488 yards of offense, producing a balanced attack of 264 yards on the ground and 224 more through the air. Wallace finished his first collegiate game with 171 yards on 33 carries, while Wenzel completed 17 of 27 for 224 yards and the three scores. Becker totaled 355 yards of offense, with 281 of it coming through the air. Baker had 273 of the passing yards on 19-of-34 passing, with Bostic taking in four passes for 127 yards. MIT's defense held the Hawks to 74 yards on the ground, with senior Kristopher Weaver leading the Engineers with seven tackles.

The next time you go grocery shopping, take a look at what is in your cart.
Since the first step toward a healthy diet is buying nutritious food, what you put in your cart says a lot about what you and your family are eating.
Most of us know that eating out increases the chance that we will consume too many calories and too much fat, sugar and salt.
For this reason, shopping for groceries and eating meals at home can lead to a healthier diet, as long you are buying healthy food to begin with.
If you are like the typical American, your grocery cart falls short of recommendations for good health.
In fact, a USDA report published in November indicates that food purchases have less than a 60 percent adherence with current dietary recommendations.
The report also shows that people who live in the Northeast and West tend to make healthier choices than people living in the South and Midwest, where obesity is more common.
This report also reveals that we are purchasing the opposite of what is recommended.
People bought four times as much refined grains as recommended but only one-quarter of the recommended whole grains.
Our carts are missing fresh vegetables and fruits but contain too many processed frozen foods.
We buy less fish and poultry and more red meat than we should. And, finally, we bring home far more beverages and foods containing added sugars than is recommended.
The contents of our shopping carts closely mirrors the typical American diet, suggesting that we eat what we buy.
A diet high in refined grains, red meat and added sugars and low in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean sources of protein is linked to obesity, heart disease and some cancers.
Shopping habits can have a big impact on health, so changing what we buy can be beneficial.
The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to improve the healthfulness of your grocery purchases.
First, plan your meals before you go shopping, make a list and stick to it. Impulse purchases, the things we see and just can't pass by, are likely to be unhealthy foods.
Second, shop the perimeter of the store. This is where you find most of the fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat. The interior aisles contain primarily packaged and processed foods that tend to be high in sugar, salt and fat.
Third, buy fresh fruits and vegetables when you can. Frozen vegetables are a good alternative, too. Be careful with canned vegetables, which can be high in salt, and fruit juices, which may contain added sugars.
Of course, this is easier said than done. Grocery stores are designed to get you to buy more of the most profitable foods, from the floor plan to the displays and placement of the food items.
You have to be vigilant to avoid temptation and make good choices, but you don't have to be perfect.
Even relatively small purchasing changes can improve your diet and your health.
Try buying more fresh vegetables this week and focus on whole grains next week.
Over time, you will find that your cart will be filled with healthier foods for you and your family.

Three Puck Drills for Intermediate Hockey Players
These hockey drills help players develop the intermediate skills of more advanced passing, shooting, and scoring. Work on accuracy first, slowing the drills down, if necessary. Then begin to emphasize quickness and power.
Flip-snap drill
Passing skills make plays work. This drill lets players practice passing over an object on the ice and making long, hard passes when required.
How it works: Have players skate in pairs around the ice surface. Place sticks on the ice at the blue lines, as illustrated in the figure below. As the skaters come to the sticks, one flips a pass over the stick to her partner who then carries it to the next stick where she flips the puck back to the original carrier. Have them make wrist passes as they go on either side of the net as indicated in the illustration. Coming back the other side of the ice, the puck carrier releases a snap pass as she reaches the bottom of the first circle, which should be received by her partner at the blue line. The new puck carrier skates to the center line and releases a snap pass, which her partner is to receive at the top of the next circle. After a few repeats, reverse direction of the drill.
Coaching pointers: Make sure players open up the stick blade to make the flip pass and close the blade over the puck when making the snap pass. In both cases, be sure that the receiver presents his stick blade as a target. Eventually, help players incorporate the passes into a smooth skating rhythm, though initially they will likely need to glide to focus on making the passes.
Figure-eight passing
This is a good concentration passing and receiving drill that features quickness, accuracy, and timing. The figure-eight skater has to be sharp to receive and complete all the passes, while his stationary partner has to have good timing with his passes. The drill also works on footwork and pivoting skills.
How it works: Have players work in pairs. Place two pylons or gloves six feet apart. The first player stands with a puck between and in front of the pylons. The second player skates a figure eight around the pylons, pivoting so that he always faces the first player. This skater keeps his stick on the ice as he skates so that he can receive and return ten passes from the first player as he enters the center of the figure eight. See the figure below for the drill pattern. Have players switch positions after ten passes. Coaches can specify or mix passing requirements, such as forehand wrist pass, backhand wrist pass, or flip pass.
Coaching pointers: Help the stationary players focus on timing their passes to meet a moving target. Check that the figure-eight skater stays in proper skating posture throughout the drill. Make sure both players keep their sticks on the ice all the time. Confirm the mechanics of whichever pass you are using, especially the wrist action and location of puck release relative to their body.
Hot-spot shooting
This scoring drill for shooters helps build confidence in players' scoring ability. In addition, as a saves drill for goaltenders, this drill provides coaches with a clear opportunity to focus on save techniques.
How it works: Using both end zones, have players pick their hot spot, which is their favorite scoring spot. Assign numbers to each player and have players shoot in sequence. See the figure below for an example. Go right to left (for the goaltender) one time and left to right the next round of shots. Coaches can specify the type of shot, such as a forehand wrist shot, backhand wrist shot, or snap shot. For slap shot practice, pick favorite long-shot hot spots.
Coaching pointers: Time the shots so that the goaltenders can get in position and have a chance to make a save. Tell shooters to shoot to score as opposed to simply making the goalie move. Watch shooters' and goaltenders' techniques closely for an opportunity to provide improvement tips.

Organizing to Compete in the Political Terrain
August 05, 2010
Authored by Dr. Nadia Schadlow.
The degree to which military forces can and should shape the political landscape during war--that is, who rules contested territory--is at the root of several ongoing debates about how to restructure the U.S. Army. Decisions about the military's appropriate role in shaping political outcomes in war are fundamental to resolving these debates and will determine the degree of organizational and educational changes that the U.S. Army must make to meet current and future security threats.

The Cristofori Piano
Two Cristofori instruments from 1722 survive: this piano, now in the Museo degli Strumenti Musicali in Rome, and a harpsichord in Leipzig. Both have a four-octave compass with the strings tuned in unison. This piano is the smallest of the surviving instruments. Like the 1726 instrument, it features an inverted pin block with the tuning pins driven right through. The strings are attached to the lower ends, which leaves more room for the action and also leads to increased tuning stability, as the action of the hammer is towards the nut rather than away from it.
Harpsichord manufacturers went to great lengths to try to produce a mechanism that would give them the desired dynamic response. But it was Bartolomeo Cristofali (Cristofori), of Padua, keeper of instruments in the court of Prince Ferdinand de Medici of Florence, who actually solved the problem.
The date of Cristofori's first 'piano' is unclear. The 1700 inventory of the musical instruments belonging to the Florentine court includes an " arpicembalo che fà il piano e il forte" (a harpsichord that can play quietly and loudly). Later writings suggest this was built in about 1698. This was probably Cristofori's first pianoforte, although it has been suggested that he made a prototype as early as 1694.
A piano's sound comes from striking a string held under tension with some form of hammer. The string and soundboard assembly had been in existence for many years prior to Cristofori's work, but Cristofori managed to develop an effective mechanism that took the downward pressure on a key and used it to 'project' a small hammer towards the strings. The 'action' of a piano is that mechanism. Cristofori's piano had only 54 keys.

The first one is the best. It's better than all the rest.
(Say reply to.)
Hi everyone. I'm a new member from Tokyo. My TOIEC score is 890.
Here is my first question...
Situation: I got a technical question from our customer Mr. Richard by email. Because I'm not in the right position, I want to ask(by email) my colleague to reply it. What is the best sentence to ask my colleague to reply the question?
My thoughts are as follows.
1. Could you answer the question from Mr. Richard?
2. Could you take care of the question from Mr. Richard?
3. Could you reply the question from Mr. Richard?
4. Could you work on this issue?
5. Could you follow this issue?
6. Could you handle this issue?
My colleague may reply "We will study and come back later".
Can you call it an answer?
I think it is a reply but not an answer.
In this sense I don't want to use No.1 because I don't want to push my colleague to provide exact answer. I think it's up to my colleague for the quality of the reply. Do you think my concern about "answer" makes sense?
The first one is the best. It's better than all the rest.
(Say reply to.)
It would be better to say:
'Could you answer Mr Richard's question please?'
Thank you for the comments.
To Ron Bee:
"We will study and come back later."
I think this may be an answer.
I also think he replyed to the email but didn't answer the question.
Can I say that the definition of the "answer" depends on where the focus of the communication is?
To Jamgirl:
I don't quite understand the difference beteween "---'s question" and "question from ---". Could you explain some more?
I don't like the answer. How about this:
We will look into it and get back to you.
Then, If I don't want to push my colleague, can I say as follows?
1. Could you look into the question from Mr. xxx?
2. Could you look into the email from Mr. xxx?
Can I expect that my colleague will reply to Mr. xxx by above requests?
I understand that "answer" is the best word if I want my collegue to send reply email to Mr.X.

With recent research revealing that more than 2,250 elephants used for tourist entertainment in Asia are kept in poor and unacceptable conditions, we'll also be discussing the best ways to enjoy animal-friendly adventures, how to research before you go and why seeing animals in a safe and nurturing environment is an experience like no other.
This event is run in partnership with World Animal Protection. With hubs across the world, World Animal Protection helps governments and communities to work on projects which care for animals, making sure that they live free from pain and cruelty.

Physical activity program for seniors through SRPH showing positive results
Fit & Strong!, an evidence-based physical activity program for seniors, has been successfully implemented by the Brazos Valley Area Agency on Aging and the Navasota Department of Parks and Recreation, reaching more than 200 seniors in the Brazos Valley.
Both agencies met at the Brazos Valley Council of Governments recently to discuss methods for continued distribution and ways to further promote the program, which began from grants awarded by the Community Research Center for Senior Health, a partnership between and the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) School of Rural Public Health and Scott & White Healthcare.
"What's been really gratifying about this activity is that we have been able to implement this program in the Brazos Valley as well as some of the surrounding rural areas," said Marcia Ory, Ph.D., M.P.H., Regents and Distinguished Professor of the TAMHSC-School of Rural Public Health.
"The feedback from the program has been very positive," Dr. Ory added. "An 80-year old man in the community wrote to tell me, 'Your adult-aged education classes have inspired and educated me to embrace the healthy advice and joy of walking.' Later, I saw him on the streets of downtown Bryan, and he was happily walking around, something that would not have been so easy before the class."
Three members of the TAMHSC-School of Rural Public Health Program on Healthy Aging staff have been certified as master trainers and will be working to further educate and promote the Fit & Strong! program.
Due to its success in the Brazos Valley, other communities have adapted the program to aid cancer survivors as well as the seniors.

Steps to disaster
- Installed Ubuntu 11.04
- Partitioned drive upon install and gave Ubuntu entire disk.
Several months later I need WIN7 as dual boot
What happens at present
Booting into WIN7 via F9 option at boot .. takes me to Ubuntu. It describes 'preparing to boot from Windows' but screen goes purple and it comes up with Ubuntu instead.
Booting normally : machine either makes a horrible beeping (continious) and blank screen or boots in Ubuntu or a mix of beeping initially then fires up Ubuntu. (to be honest best to F9 to get into Ubuntu .. seems the cleaner option)
Using a script I have obtained the following disk information:
Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img. core.img is at this location and looks for (,msdos1)/boot/grub on this drive.
Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb.sda1:
(obviously no partition exists on the drive - that's my understanding and my knowledge of unix/linux/ubuntu is limited)
nb.there is a ref to sda1 at the bottom of this script for grub (grub2 is installed) which is sda1/boot/grub/grub.cfg:
File system: ext4
Boot sector type: -
Boot sector info:

So how do I retrieve either (in order of preference)
- Dual boot with Windows 7
- Win7 complete reinstall.
N.B I have no data that requires saving and I have the Windows device drives and a Ubuntu 11.10 install package
Hurdles to overcome:
- It's Acer One laptop with no DVD/CD drive
- Installing WIN7 from a Flash Drive bombs out as it cannot recognise any system devices as the drivers are not installed/accessible.
My gut feeling is that I a) need to install Ubuntu fresh and repartition the drive but I am unsure how much damage it will do .. or b) partition the drive from within Ubuntu and stick windows files on there and reallocate the pointer .. but not sure how to make it visible on boot as C:\ ??

Quality Service in an Impersonal World

And what defines quality library service in today's interconnected technological world? Representatives from the business, library, and education fields will present their opinions on why service is important (or not) and what factors lead to quality service.

Many startups that were able to raise a seed round are running out of cash because of the Series A crunch.
Even though quitting is never an ideal situation, serial entrepreneur and investor Howard A. Tullman recently wrote on Inc that entrepreneurs need to know when enough is enough.
"Sometimes you need to be smart enough to figure out how to quit when you're ahead--even if you're actually way behind," he writes.
Tullman says that there's no simple answer for determining when it's time to throw in the towel, but he follows what he calls The Rule of 3 Ds and 3 Fs.
"There are some things you've got to Do, Determine and Discuss," Tullman writes. "The Fs are Facts, Feelings, and Family."
- The most important thing you have to do is face the facts.
- You then need to determine how you feel about the situation. For example, if you frequently don't feel appreciated, it's time to go.
- Discuss your situation with your family because running a business can be just as hard on them as it is on you.
"When things are really rotten and we have no place else to turn, sadly, we often don't turn to our families - we turn on them," Tullman writes. "[...] This is often the most real and devastating damage caused by a failing business. It's the most critical reason to get out when the time is right and to not prolong the agony."

The Trap
Release Date: September 1, 1983
Stratos finds He-Man unconscious underneath an overturned Wind Raider, as if ambushed. It turns out that beside him, there is Skeletor's half of the Power Sword. He-Man combines them, then heads to Grayskull, where he uses the sword to enter. What they discover is a castle full of traps, eventually coming to a room with Skeletor within. Stratos almost jumps at him, but He-Man holds him back. It turns out that Stratos was lucky, because, like everything else Skeletor had whipped up for them, this was also an illusion. If Stratos would have leapt towards him he would've been sucked into a bottomless hole. The true Skeletor arrives, accompanied by Beast Man, and explains that he had switched He-Man's half of the Power Sword with a fake, meaning Skeletor has the complete sword. He-Man fights him, and eventually the Power Sword splits in two once again. During the fight, Skeletor is knocked into the bottomless pit, while Beast Man retreats.

A New Haven attorney is asking permission to sue the state for $100 million on behalf of a student who survived the mass shooting at a Newtown school.
The Hartford Courant reports that attorney Irving Pinsky filed notice Thursday with Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr. The state has immunity against most lawsuits unless permission to sue is granted.
Pinsky said the 6-year-old student, identified as "Jill Doe," was in her classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14 when "the horrific confrontation" with Adam Lanza came over the loudspeaker.
Lanza killed 20 first grade students and six adult staffers at the school before killing himself.
Pinsky said the student has been traumatized by the killings, and accused the state of failing to protect students from "foreseeable harm."

Here, courtesy of Rick Telander and his colleagues in the Chicago sports media, is a nice little primer on how to whip up a good old-fashioned hysteria out of nothing whatsoever.
Follow the bouncing ball: In his column today, Rick Telander defends wee Chicago Cub Ryan Theriot against totally nonexistent suspicions of 'roiding, just so he can mewl inanely about a culture ("this is what baseball has wrought") in which even wee Ryan Theriot is a suspect, even though wee Ryan Theriot wasn't a suspect until Rick Telander said he was. And then the bloodhounds in the Chicago sporting press have to go and ask Theriot about being a suspect, which he wasn't until Rick Telander said he was. And then Theriot has to deny everything and pronounce himself "disappointed" with the column, which of course just makes him look all the more suspicious, something he wasn't until Rick Telander said he was.
What has Rick Telander wrought?
(And, yes, yes, there's this, which is headslappingly stupid and which any professional sportswriter worth his collection of Polo shirts would treat as the equivalent of a YouTube comment. Right, Rick? Right??)

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Chromebooks are computers which run the Chrome Web browser. Basically, that's it! Google ( GOOG - Get Report) feels that you can do everything (or nearly everything) you need to do on a computer through a simple machine based on its popular browser. And now, two years after their introduction, Chromebooks are beginning to catch on in a big way. Chromebooks are based on the Linux operating system, but that's not really important. What you need to know is you log in to your device and you're greeted with a fully functional Web browser. If you use the Google system for communications (Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Google+, etc.) you're all set. If you also use Android devices, all of your settings and history are automatically recognized as well. Want to write an "Office" document? Go right ahead and then save it in Google's cloud storage system. Or print it using Google's cloud printing system. Want to watch a movie on Netflix ( NFLX)? There's a Chrome app for that. And games. And thousands of other apps tweaked just for Chromebooks. There's also a Spotify app currently being tested (it's terrific). Undoubtedly, the biggest draw is the price. Compared to Microsoft ( MSFT - Get Report) Windows and Apple ( AAPL - Get Report) Macintosh computers, Chromebooks are a bargain. The latest Samsung Chromebook retails for $249. The new Acer is priced starting at $199. An Acer exec tells Bloomberg that Chromebook sales were through the roof in December. If you check Amazon's ( AMZN - Get Report) current computer sales lists, you'll see these two new devices at or near the top. But, that's not where the story ends. With Windows 8 not generating much excitement, some of Microsoft's long-time partners are also exploring the idea of Chromebooks of their own. Like Lenovo, which last week announced a Chromebook marketed to school systems. Or, today's rumor that HP ( HPQ - Get Report) is going to announce a nifty Chromebook of its own next month. A few years back the "next big thing" in computing was the netbook. Small, lightweight and, most notably, cheap. For the most part, tablets killed the netbook.

Add to that great portability and ease of use and you have what could be a big problem for Microsoft and Apple in the next few years. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
