While researching my trip to Croatia, I had a lot of difficulty picking from, and allocating time to, all the equally enticing options. In my research, one of the reoccurring topics was how to decide between Hvar and Korcula.
While I would say that a trip to the Croatian coast should have time allocated to both islands, this post is my take on the two. I must caveat this by saying that I spent two days on each, and my time was limited mostly to the main town centres. I also must note that we were visiting Croatia at the end of September 2015, so there were way less crowds compared to the hoards of visitors in July and August.
While both experiences were quite different, I would be hard pressed to suggest one over the other. Ultimately what you decide will depend on what you're after, as one may suit your holiday better.
Hvar town is easily reached from Split by high speed passenger ferry in about an hour. There is a ferry leaving in the early morning (between 7 -8am depending on the season), returning to Split in the late afternoon, making Hvar an easy day trip option from Split. There is also a car ferry that travels between Split and Stari Grad (another town on Hvar Island), with the journey taking about 2 hours. This option, while cheaper, requires a bus ride that takes about 20 minutes if your destination on the island is Hvar Town. If you don't have a car and you can get tickets on the fast ferry (they sell out in summer, so buy a few days prior if possible), I recommend you take the fast ferry if your final destination is Hvar Town. Depending on the season, there may be more than one ferry per day. All the ferry operators have booths at the terminal in Split where you can get further information.
Layout of the city
Arriving in Hvar Town on the ferry, you are welcomed by the wide waterfront promenade lined with restaurants, shops and bars on one side and yachts on the other. Hvar Town's centre is a grande piazza, lined with cafes and restaurants, with laneways off the main piazza having further restaurant and bar options. Accommodation is spread out throughout the old town, with many less expensive options found on the hillside overlooking the town.
For our two night stay, we chose Apartment Iris, which took about 10 minutes of relatively steep uphill walking from the bus station (located just past the church along with a decent size shopping centre). For us this option was great as it was less expensive, had a kitchen and a balcony looking down at the town. The downside was that multiple trips back to the apartment was out of the question as the walk uphill was hot and tiring in the sun. The owner was lovely and picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station when we arrived.
Bars and restaurants
Hvar seemed to have many more options for dining, especially fine dining. The streets leading off of the piazza provide as many options of differing cuisines that you could ask for. On the downside, we found the prices in Hvar to be the most expensive of the four places visited (Split, Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik).
For dinner, we spent some time in the early evening wandering the laneways to see the menus and speaking to the staff who were outside trying to convince us to dine at their restaurant. With all budgets are catered for, you'll be able to find a spot to eat that fits your budget. Options for cocktails were plenty, with many bars lining the marina. Sipping on a cocktail while watching the sunset with views of the harbour and the multi-million dollar yachts was one of the highlights of my trip.
Day trip options
In our two days in Hvar, besides eating and drinking in the town centre, we spent one day walking along the waterfront towards the Hula Hula bar and one day exploring the fortress. There are many day trips available including trips by boat to the nearby islands and beaches on Hvar island and the option to rent a scooter and explore at your own pace. We decided to explore the area on our own.
Along the walk towards Hula Hula Bar (about 15 – 20 minutes from the town centre), there are several places to swim, though the free and not-so-free spots differed in their comfort. The actual beaches with sand require payment for the rental of a sun lounger, which makes a great option if you're planning on spending a few hours swimming and suntanning. Alternatively, you can lounge on the concrete / smooth rocks nearby for free. While this doesn't sound like a great option, equipped with a towel, there are plenty of comfortable spots to find and it's a very popular option.
On our second day, we trekked up the hill to the fortress that overlooks Hvar Town. This is a relatively easy 'hike' (about 10 – 20 minutes depending how quickly you walk) which starts up from the old town (with lots of steps) and then it turns into a dirt trail with switch backs up to the top. It's also reached by car if you happen to have one or want to pay for a taxi. For a small fee (35 kunas), you can explore the fortress at your leisure and there's also a cafe / restaurant. The fortress has a museum, access to the old prison cells and has better views than those from outside the paid area. To make sure we had energy to make our way back down, we bought snacks at a cafe in the town centre and had our picnic overlooking Hvar. My tip – go on an overcast day, early in the morning or late in the afternoon as it can get very hot (even in late September!).
If you're looking for nightlife, Hvar wins hands down. While there are many options on the island itself, there are excursions by boat to the parties on the Pakleni Islands. When we were there, there was a poster for a 'last party of the season' party, which I believe only started at our usual 11pm bedtime, so we gave it a miss!
Generally speaking, in our two nights in Hvar, the average age seemed much younger compared to Korcula. As a result, Korcula had a much more laid back vibe in the town centre.
If you're coming from Split, Korcula can be reached by either ferry or bus. Most of the ferries that go to Hvar continue onto Korcula, arriving in Korcula about 2 hours later, with a total travel time from Split to Korcula of 3 hours. If you're coming from Dubrovnik, Korcula is much closer than Hvar, taking about two hours by catamaran (fast ferry).
If you're planning on seeing both islands, the above considerations won't matter, however if you're only going to one, your starting and ending destination may make a difference in your decision.
Layout of the town centre
Korcula is sometimes referred to as a mini-Dubrovnik as its town centre is surrounded by walls and is set on the water. The town centre, which is pedestrian only, has a main 'street' down its centre, with alleys to both sides leading to the walls (it looks kind of like a fish spine).
For our two night stay, we chose Apartments Luka, which was a 15 minute walk to the Old Town and is set on the river. The apartment provides lounge chairs so you can relax next to the river or hop in the water for a swim (which I did a few times). It was a bit of a walk, so perfect if you have a scooter, but I enjoyed the walk into town. There are plenty of options in town, but I chose this one because I liked the option of having a bit more of a relaxing location after spending the previous two days in Hvar!
Bars and restaurants
While seemingly less options than Hvar, Korcula has many dining options, including a row of restaurants with tables hugging the eastern wall, providing views of the beautiful surrounding bay. We at Amfora Pizzeria, one of the restaurants with its tables lining the alleyways off the main street.
Outside the Old Town's walls you'll find many more less expensive options providing a variety of cuisines. Another option, which I would classify more as a bar, is located about a 10 minute walk west of the Old Town called Maksimilijan Garden. It has plenty of outdoor seating, with views looking back to the Old Town. In the early evening, the views are amazing.
Day trip options
Having seen the old town during our first day, we rented a scooter and spent most of a day travelling around the nearby bays and having a swim in the pristine waters. Driving the scooter was easy as there wasn't a lot of traffic. To make it easy, there are many places renting scooters (and bikes) just outside the Old Town's walls. There are only a few roads leading out of the old town area, so it's fairly easy to navigate, though having a map of some description is handy in order to find the beaches.
After an exhausting day or driving and swimming, we had a lovely pizza at a restaurant overlooking the bay called Pizzeria Torkul (highly recommended, if only for the view), located near Lumbarda (about 7km from Korcula town – reached by car, bus or water taxi).
I don't think you can go wrong with either option, though one might suit your travelling and holiday style better. If I had to chose again, I might lead ever so slightly to Hvar, just because there were more people around, more dining options, and our evening sipping cocktails at a bar lining the marina was one of the highlights of our 10 days in Croatia. Though as you can see by the photos, the beaches just outside Korcula are amazingly beautiful!

Fly Anywhere
Hello associates, I have listed beneath some of issues you need to be aware of if you're travelling from INDIA to US on quick enterprise trip, Vacation, Studies and lengthy enterprise trip. Booking low-cost flights has by no means been so easy – simply search for your destination and find a deal that suits you. I just got to Hawaii and, after a good 12 hour sleep in, I'm hoping to be completely normal by my second day! Passengers and visitos can go to these counters for availing any of the providers and assist that they want to. Also, passengers wanting to buy a ticket on the airport can do so at the airline counters. For probably the most half, getting low cost airline tickets relies on your planning and your budget.
Travel tips for the airline passenger who must endure through flight delays and cancellations due to dangerous climate. Subject to the Regulation, the Fund provides reimbursement of monies paid to an Ontario registered journey agent for journey companies that are not provided due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of an Ontario registrant or an finish provider airline or cruise line, the place a reimbursement has not otherwise been provided. You can't purchase the ticket on ITA Matrix however in the event you go to the airline or different journey sites that you simply use to purchase your tickets you'll know you are getting the bottom possible fare.
Find yourself enormous discounts on low-cost flights to Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe, Oceania and other destinations along with your favourite airline at up to 50% OFF retail prices! Sign up now to get the most recent cheap flights, final minute offers, and trip savings. My personal opinion is that the continued devaluation of frequent flyer miles and shortening of level expiry intervals makes loyalty to 1 airline or alliance uneconomic.
International Travel Network, often referred to as ITN, is an airline consolidator and a bunch journey agency headquartered in San Francisco, California. Garuda requested for a assessment however were refused in November 2007 on the premise that the airline didn't meet EU safety requirements. Example: An airline has one ticket left for $100; all the others on that flight cost $200.

Girls living in Chennai are very hot and attractive. Many men approach them, but they don't come into the trap so easily. This develops frustration in men and they start living a miserable life. But, girls working as escorts have no problem to sleep with men. Chennai Airport Escorts are also well known for their esteemed lifestyle and humble attitude for their clients. Men prefer to hire them and get rid of their frustration. Heartbroken guys also opt for such services and avoid any trouble in their life. Paid girls talk less and act more, which is their plus point. Spending money on girls who are not going to give you anything is purely a waste of time. Instead, go for escorts and get full fun with complete satisfaction.
Those who are planning to visit Chennai for the first time can look for Airport Escorts in Chennai. Girls are ready to receive you at the airport and take you to their safe accommodation. A strong bonding with the escort for a short span of time can be memorable. Paid women serve with the utmost care and are responsible for their acts. With their experience, they treat their clients in such a manner that they get the real worth of their money. Escorts do not hesitate and are ready to make any pose that you dream for. You can rely on escort agencies as they offer trustworthy and easiest ways to enjoy with their workers. They also keep secrecy aspect in their mind and serve accordingly.
Getting services instantly are the need of every individual. The same goes for escorts as well. When you can spend more time with escorts, there is no need to wait. Airport Escort Services in Chennai provide instant fun after reaching the city. Girls will welcome you at the airport and touch you and make you feel like you are in heaven. Their attractive personality is unmatchable. By beautifying themselves with the branded accessories, girls live a luxurious life. To meet their lifestyle, they also earn handsome money with the help of escort agencies or by becoming independent escorts. A good figure and attractive personality are necessary for this industry. Normal looking girls find difficulties in earning good money. The demand of escorts is increasing day by day in Chennai. To meet this high demand, agents approach college girls, air hostesses, young teachers and other beautiful girls. The nature of girls is also demanding both physical and monetary wise. So they easily accept the proposal of agents and get involved in this lucrative profession.
If you are fed up of using your hands to satisfy your physical needs, try Chennai escorts. There is no need to use your hands for everything when suitable resources of fun are available. Well dressed and educated Chennai escorts know what their clients want from them. This is the reason why they learn client servicing first and then get involved in this business. Satisfying hungry men is not so easy, but escorts do a tremendous job and meet their needs very easily. Call girls face different types of clients with their diverse abilities to perform in bed. They have to satisfy each and every man and act as per their actions. For a low performing man, they use their actions more and support him to give his best performance. Escorts learn this technique after getting some experience or learning from their fellow escort's experiences.

Over the last decade we assumed that once we found repeatable methodologies (Agile and Customer Development, Business Model Design) to build early stage ventures, entrepreneurship would become a "science," and anyone could do it. However, I'm beginning to suspect this assumption may be wrong. WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? It's not that the tools are wrong, I think the entrepreneurship management stack is correct and has made a major contribution to reducing startup failures. Where I think we have gone wrong is the belief that anyone can use these......

pericentromeric gap was one of the few holes remaining in the
"finished" sequence of the human genome reported last October by the
International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium. This "finished"
sequence was the culmination of a 13-year effort to elucidate the order
and orientation of 2.85 billion basepairs that comprise the human
genome. The high-quality sequence spanned more than 99% of the
euchromatic (gene-containing) portion of the genome with an accuracy of
99.999%, but despite this accomplishment, substantial sections of
chromosomal sequences were still missing.
The Y chromosome, a sex chromosome that is specific to the human male,
has posed a particular challenge to researchers attempting to decode
its sequence. It contains an extraordinary abundance of repetitive
elements, including transposons and tandem arrays of satellite
sequences. This highly repetitive, transcriptionally dormant genomic
landscape, termed "heterochromatin," defines approximately two-thirds
of the Y chromosome, including a section spanning the centromere. Such
repetitive sequences, although not recalcitrant to cloning, are
laborious to assemble, requiring meticulous analysis of complex
repeated sequences.
In this case, the challenge was undertaken by a team of scientists led
by Gudrun Rappold, Ph.D., Professor of Human Genetics at the University
of Heidelberg in Germany. Their manuscript describing this work,
published online today and in the February print issue of Genome
Research (www.genome.org), presents the sequencing and analysis of 554
kilobases of previously uncharacterized sequence from the
centromeric region of the Y chromosome. This sequence contains a
450-kilobase "euchromatic island" with eight presumably active genes
flanked by repetitive satellite sequences.
To ensure that this 554-kilobase sequence was in fact missing from the
"finished" human genome sequence and was not a structural polymorphism
present only in a subset of males in the human population, members of
Rappold's laboratory ?including Stefan Kirsch, Ph.D., lead author on
the paper ?tested 100 men of different ethnic origin for the presence
of this 554-kilobase fragment. Indeed, the sequence was present in all
100 individuals tested, but not in any female controls, confirming that
this sequence was a fundamental part of the Y chromosome.
More surprising, however, was Rappold's finding that this "missing"
sequence was not unique to the Y chromosome. Rather, this sequence
exhibited between 95-99% homology to sequences on exactly half (11 of
22) of the other chromosomes in the human genome, including the
pericentromeric regions of autosomes (non-sex chromosomes) 1, 2, 3, 4,
9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 22. This remarkable similarity can be
attributed to segmental duplications, a phenomenon whereby large
portions of the genome are copied during evolution. Segmental
duplications, which emerged during the past 30 million years of primate
evolution, are significantly enriched in subtelomeric and
pericentromeric sequences, and now comprise approximately 5% of the
human genome, were considered to be one of the biggest obstacles to
finishing the human genome sequence. "The identification of these
segmental duplications suggests an underrepresentation of
pericentromeric regions of the acrocentric chromosomes in the current
human genome sequence," Rappold pointed out.
The current study was designed as part of a long-term effort to
characterize the molecular genetic basis for Y-chromosome-linked
phenotypes. Rappold and colleagues had previously physically mapped the
GCY locus, which is thought to be
the genetic determinant of
sex-related stature differences in humans and is in close proximity to
the Y centromere. In addition, the GBY, or gonadoblastoma locus, which
is responsible for development of tumors associated with the
undifferentiated gonad, has been genetically mapped to the region.
Because the "missing" sequence described in this study contained eight
putatively active genes, further functional testing of these genes may
reveal insights into the genetic basis for stature and gonadoblastoma.

Government Of B.C., Ministry Of Labour, Employment Requirements Branch, A Guide To B.C. Employment Requirements
Sensible Employment helps you discover the correct staff, and supplies ongoing help. Iraqi and Afghan nationals who have supplied faithful and worthwhile service whilst employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government in Iraq for not much less than one particular year on or right after March 20th, 2003 and prior to September 30, 2013, or in Afghanistan for not significantly less than a single year following October 7th, 2001, and have knowledgeable an ongoing severe threat as a consequence of that employment.
For instance, an employer is not necessary to supply notice when just trigger exists for terminating an employee's employment. The Director of Employment Requirements does not concern child employment permits for young children employed in the entertainment sector. It makes it illegal for employers to discriminate in relation to hiring, discharging, compensating, or supplying the terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. The elements behind moving out of poverty right after gaining employment are also examined. Employers need to hold payroll records for each employee for two years soon after employment ends. Or that they need to have to introduce new policies to comply with employment legislation.
The potential employee must possess the relevant qualifications, abilities or encounter that are needed for the employment. Once the application passes the Pre-Verify Stage, and when the related cheques/EFT payments are recorded it is then placed in the processing queue. U.S. immigration law calls for immigrant visa applicants to receive certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of immigrant visas. Failure to notify the Division of a Transfer of Undertaking could have an effect on the application for renewal.
In these circumstances the proposed employee may not be necessary to apply for a new Common Employment Permit or a renewal of their current employment permit and need to get in touch with the Department of Justice and Equality to apply for a temporary Stamp four. Family members responsibility Leave: An employee can take up to 5 days of unpaid leave in each employment year to attend to the care, overall health or education of a kid in the employee's care, or to the care or wellness of any other member of the employee's quick loved ones.

NEW BRIGHTON - Impassioned looks fill the faces of the four men gathered in the back room of a New Brighton barbershop, on this day decorated as an imitation sand bar for yet another impromptu jam session.
After agreeing to a folksy song, three of the men begin plucking away at their six-string guitars, a fourth adding a hum-hum on his harmonica. Their lead picker, known only as Paul, is absent. It is said he recently moved to drier land in Phoenix, but no one much wants to talk about that.
It's another typical midweek day at Jimmy Circle's Fifth Street Barber Shop, where the red, white and blue pole banner waves outside. Inside, the haircuts are $11, a shave is $10, and the live music, camaraderie and acey-deucey games are free.
Brian Axtell, an accordion player who runs the deli next door, and Jack Bauman, Circle's uncle, who blows the harmonica like Bob Dylan's music teacher, are here for the latter, not a haircut or the assortment of Oram's doughnuts someone dropped off in the center of the coffee table, next to a propped-up book of composed songs.
"I've been cutting my own hair for 50 years," Bauman, of Vanport Township, says matter-of-factly, settling back into a chair with his arms folded.
The peculiar shop, filled with hula-girl and Tiki figurines, draws all sorts of guys who live in the borough and longtime friends from the old neighborhood. They stop in for five minutes or more, to pull up a seat or to get a short buzz cut and shave.
Music is the attraction. Music, it seems, is not only a stress-reliever, it brings people in the community together.
But with strip malls and one-stop unisex establishments offering quick cuts in convenient locations, traditional American barbershops like Circle's, which serve as community gathering places, are fading into history.
There were an estimated 3,670 licensed barbers in the state as of 2004, in comparison to 31,940 hairdressers and hairstylists, according to the Pennsylvania Center for Workforce Information and Analysis.
But in many ways, Circle, who plays his guitar and sometimes his ukulele in between serving customers, is keeping the barbershop tradition alive.
Wayne Fath of New Brighton, in a black Vietnam veterans cap, steps into the shop, giving Circle a cue to take a break from playing the guitar, which is in turn picked up by Bauman. Fath is unfazed by all the music and chatter. He closes his eyes in the chair and gets his usual: a trim and a shave.
The music never stops. " 'Cause I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases my blues away ...."
Over the sound of electric clippers and live guitar, men banter about their problems, joke with one another or ask the advice of the 56-year-old Circle. In a way, they're helping to keep history alive by reminiscing about the old days. It's one reason the shop lacks a television or telephone.
As a kid, Ron Taylor, 62, who lives up the street, five houses from Circle, felt befuddled watching old men playing checkers talking about "way back when."
Now, he says, he gets it. And he can often be found at the shop, joking with the guys and singing country tunes.
"It doesn't make any difference if it's right or wrong," Taylor says of their musical sound. "We just have fun."
Ron Gossard, 50, of Patterson Township, jokingly calls the players J.C. and the Moonshine Band and says the shop is the best place to learn how to fix your car or your house. Through the shop, he's picked up the guitar again. Two years ago was the first time in a long time.
"I'll get better," he says.
Bauman, who turned 85 on Tuesday and can remember being in the first grade in 1928 at the borough's Fourth Ward School, still rides a motorcycle. He celebrated his recent birthday with a shot of 90-proof, he says with a laugh. He has played guitar for 50 years, two of those years playing on Friday and Saturday nights in front of hippies and bikers at the old Aces High, a country bar in Rochester. He met Johnny Cash's brother - though not the legend himself - and he's played with Eddie Reday, Skip Somerville and Mike Somerville, and the Freedom Express Band.
Bauman calls Circle's new music "goofy songs." He plays country and blues and was 30 when he first picked up a guitar. He still has his old instruments - three Gibsons, three Martins, one Yamaha and a slew of harmonicas. And he can belt out country tunes like nobody's business.
"My 85-year-old voice don't sound the same as it did 20 years ago," Bauman says.
The barbershop itself is a standing piece of history. The back of the building was used as a slaughterhouse until the 1970s. Circle remembers going there as a kid in what was considered the industrial part of town to get his hair cut, and that he never used the bathroom because of the smell.
The meatpacking section has since been torn down, but Circle says he is the first person outside the original family to run the barbershop in 100 years.
The oldest of three brothers, Circle always wanted to be a barber. He once was even offered a chair by the barber who previously owned the shop. That's what Circle had wanted to do after high school, but back then, everybody worked in the mill. It was an honest living that guaranteed good money, and that was where his father worked. So after high school in 1969, the graduate with an Afro that shook when he walked went to work at the mill. He got a brand-new car, a beautiful wife and a couple of kids.
Ten years later, he got laid off. It was a blessing in disguise. It gave Circle, a master on the ukulele, a chance to play his music with a band called New Haven, and he went to X-ray technician school.
For 20 years, he worked at The Medical Center, Beaver, as an X-ray technician. It paid for a house and put his five children through college. When he was ready for something new, Circle quit that job and moved on to barber school in Pittsburgh for a year. He worked in local shops, cutting hair for four years. Even then, there was a dress code and rules to follow, and patrons were hypnotized by television.
Not here, although sometimes women stop by, such as Taylor's granddaughter, who brings in her pug. Or Circle's daughter, who sits in the back room and puts up her feet "because she can," he says. Sometimes women come to take their husbands home.
"If it weren't for cell phones, there would be more women here," Circle says.
Snapshots of John Lennon, Jerome Bettis and Jimi Hendrix mingle on the walls with framed black-and-white photographs that capture sports teams and bandmates, a diagram of the borough, and that day the Barnum & Bailey Circus led a trail of elephants down the main street in a long-ago New Brighton.
Those old photographs have resurrected many boyhood memories, lost somewhere in time. Intermingled with the folksy music they play, the guy getting a haircut, the guitar players, the deli owner next door and the music shop owner from downtown is talk about how they lived and what it was like for young kids growing up during Beaver County's bustling steel mill past.
They remember how New Brighton boys were once divided by the section of town they lived in - Hunkey Alley, Marion Hill, Runbottom, Oak Hill and Grove Avenue - and how they constantly battled. Back in those days, each ward had its own school, so they clashed in football and baseball, and sometimes off the field in cars armed with water balloons. They remember McMillin's and the walk for mouth-watering homemade pies with scoops of ice cream, and how they left the pie factory carrying waxed-paper bags with sugar-crust pies fresh out of the oven. Many of them lived with two parents, with one working in the mills, and they had plenty of brothers and sisters.
Stepping into Circle's shop is like stepping into a time warp. This is why Circle likes his job.
"I never get up in the morning and say, 'Man, do I have to do that again?' " he says.
Sometimes the men are motivated to do something different, such as last winter when they made bows and arrows, or that time they wrote a Christmas song about New Brighton and spent an evening recording it in the back room on the reel-to-reel recorder.
"Anything could be going on in here," Circle says. "We do it all."
It's usually on Wednesdays when everybody comes to pull up a chair, strike up a conversation, have coffee and play music. People like Angelo Greco, a neighbor of the shop who was shaved bald a day earlier. Greco pulled up a chair, sat back and got lost listening to the tunes for a while.
"You know, with the stress of life," Greco said, "you come over here and sit back and watch them. It's just relaxing."
Circle says many of the people who met through his barbershop didn't know one another before. Now they're all friends.
"Sometimes they won't leave," he says, chuckling. "I have to say 'Guys, I'm closing. Time to go.' "

My parents got Coen these moose slippers when they went to Wyoming for my cousins wedding.
Coen really likes them.
He's really getting into the whole "boy/hunting/animal sounds" thing. Thanks to my father. ;)
Here he is making the moose sound. His hands are supposed to be moose antlers. They need some work. :) A moose sounds something like.."Mmmuaaaaaaaak". He can do an Elk too. His elk is reeeaaly good. This past weekend he got to go to the Hunter's Extravaganza!! Or "zavagah!" as he calls it. He took his moose figurine with him and he would chant "ZAVAGAH!!" randomly. My dad took him in his big truck, which Coen was pumped about. They met up with Daniel and had a guys night out. Coen ran around the extravaganza and even rode the mechanical bull. They wrapped the evening up with some Mexican food, of course. I was so happy for him, that he was getting to go hang out with the men. My big, sweet boy, growing up!
Daniel came home with a flyer for hunting wild pigs with a machine gun while hanging out of a helicopter.
I guess the Extravaganza turns boys into men and men into boys.

Adventures in Food… Yo Sushi
This week I treated my self to a trip to Yo! Sushi
I love sushi but rarely get to have it as there is nowhere near where I live that does good sushi. Yo Sushi is a chain but it serves good fresh food and I love the conveyor belt system 🙂
I usually pick things of the belt and spend ages waiting for things to come round. This time I went in and on the paper place mats they had a series of set meals that all sounded great. Also it made it a lot easier to choose what to have. I knew I was quite hungry and as I had been computer shopping I needed to have a sit down and relax for half an hour.
So I order miso soup and the Fill Me Up Set menu.
I love watching the conveyor going round and this time they had added the dessert train!
This made me smile but I was pretty full from my meal so let the train pass me by this time 🙂
Harry Potter Farewell
Last night was amazing!
My friend Ingrid and I got together in Bristol to watch the last Harry Potter movie. We decided to go the the double showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 at 9pm (then 12:01am) 🙂
We first went out to dinner at Giraffe and had a good catch up over some amazing food. I had the vegetable burrito:
And Ingrid had the Chicken enchilada and we shared some skin on fries. SO GOOD!
We the got in the line foe the movie.
No one was dressed up but the line was fun to stand and talk to other excited people 🙂
Ingrid made Harry Potter cookies and I put together some sweet bags for our adventure, including sherbet lemons 🙂
It was AMAZING and so much fun! The movie was great but we were a bit sad that it was the last one 😦
I will now re-read all the books over the summer 🙂

Tired of traversing Framer.Importer objects? Here's a little layer browser plugin I built for viewing layers imported from a sketch file / PSD.
wow. I desperately needed this!
<3 more to come
Would be way easier to have this in template project where you can just run import over :-)
Koen what do you mean?
Easier to make. But now in bar. Tomorrow.
Here is a project with all your code that you can just use as a starting point and import your own stuff over. Way easier to quickly check it out like this: https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/7e3050c7fc5cba5aef298a5eaea5238220140802090848/dda0cf2958c32358ff637271538275b520140802090848/6d2978
awesome! could be really useful to have the ability to toggle layer states too
Riccardo Zecchini Great idea - I've just updated it to toggle layer states.
Very useful for complex projects! Thanks to everyone involved!
Is there any chance of this getting implemented into Framer Studio's native UI?
thats great!

The health benefits of turmeric are extremely well known, stretching back to ancient times. Turmeric has a long standing reputation as a potent medicinal herb capable of improving NUMEROUS health conditions.
Of all the medicinal herbs I've written about, turmeric always generates the most interest. This Health Benefits Of Turmeric page has consistently been in the top 3 pages on this site since 2006!
So, what does turmeric do? Well, it's most well known over the longest period of time for its anti-inflammatory and cleansing properties.
Although turmeric has been used for many years in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine (primarily as a detox/cleanser) - it is only in the last several years that it has developed a growing popularity in the west, for its multi spectrum medicinal activity.
Does your pantry include that ancient root spice known as turmeric? In not, you may be missing out on some amazing health benefits. Mayo Clinic dietitian, Anya Guy, recently talked about some of those benefits.
Turmeric is a relative of the ginger family - the botanical name of the Turmeric plant is Curcuma longa L.
Besides being used for its therapeutic activity, turmeric is also extremely popular as a food additive (spice). It has been used in Asian cookery for thousands of years.
Curry and other spice blends contain turmeric as a coloring/flavoring agent. It has a bitter - rather sharp but somewhat bland taste.
What well stocked kitchen doesn't contain a jar of turmeric?
So, lets concentrate on the extensive medicinal benefits of turmeric which is the reason you're here.
The most effective part of the turmeric plant for use in herbal supplements and medical preparations is above/below ground roots (rhizomes).
Be Sure To Check That The Turmeric In Any Product You Use Has Come
Rhizomes contain the highest concentration of curcumin, the bright yellow pigment which is the major active ingredient shown in studies to be responsible for turmeric benefits and medicinal effects.
But There's MORE! Additional health benefits of turmeric are observed through its pain suppressing ability. Most of the studies to date have been on animals however Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine have recorded the medicinal health benefits of turmeric in humans over a long period of time.
Studies suggest the most recognized health benefits of turmeric to be:
Turmeric health antioxidant capacity was examined as part of a German research study during 2003 (Screening pharmaceutical preparations containing extracts of turmeric rhizome, artichoke leaf, devil's claw root and garlic or salmon oil for antioxidant capacity).
This study found:
All fractions of the turmeric extract preparation exhibited pronounced antioxidant activity, which was assigned to the presence of curcumin and other polyphenols (J Pharm Pharmacol. 2003 Jul; 55(7):981-6.)
To access the abstract of this study please click here
In India researchers are focusing on the positive results of treating diabetic patients with curcumin to prevent diabetic health complications. Turmeric is also cited in Spanish research for its ability to decrease the impact of high fat diets and to help liver function in breaking down fatty tissue.
As with any herbal extract it is important to take this herb according to label directions in order to derive the strongest (but safest) benefits of turmeric. Few side effects have been reported in individuals taking turmeric at recommended dosages.
If you are allergic to spices including turmeric or to yellow food colorings you should avoid turmeric. This applies to any allergies you may have to any plants of the ginger family.
With large doses or long term use turmeric may increase stomach acid levels and possibly lead to heartburn, ulcers, stomach irritation or gallstones. Mild side effects can include skin rash or dizziness.
Theoretically turmeric may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulants (blood thinners) or antiplatelet drugs - be sure to mention any herbs you take to your doctor as he may require you to stop taking them prior to surgery.
If you have been diagnosed with gallstones, obstructions of the bile ducts, stomach or intestinal ulcers, high levels of stomach acid, immune system diseases or liver conditions you should first talk to you physician before using this herb.
The benefits and side effects of turmeric are unlikely to be known by many doctors so it's IMPORTANT to find one who is familiar with herbal treatments or is prepared to research the issue for you!
DO NOT take turmeric health supplements if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Turmeric may stimulate contractions of the uterus and may cause irregular fluctuations in menstrual periods.
Turmeric benefits can be offset by its potential to react with some prescription drugs so if you are taking any consult your doctor before taking turmeric in any supplement form.
When used in isolation, turmeric will not produce the same results for everybody!
So, if you wish to take it for the protective qualities it offers to your overall wellness it should be taken in combination with other well known medicinal herbs - as an ingredient in a professional grade, science-based multi ingredient vitamin/health supplement, in order to get the most EFFICIOUS results.
There's a multitude of choices when shopping for nutritional vitamin supplements containing turmeric and their quality is FAR from being equal!
In fact, due to the lax regulations governing the manufacture of dietary supplements, there are MANY poorly formulated and poorly put together supplements out there that you absolutely need to avoid.
To help you avoid near useless, potentially unsafe or supplements offering poor value for money, here are some criteria to follow when comparing and purchasing supplements.
P.S. It's important to know that herbal ingredients are particularly vulnerable to contamination!
1. Standardization
It's extremely important that you check to see if ALL herbal ingredients in a supplement are STANDARDIZED!
standardization is a strict process which guarantees the amount of the active ingredient in each herb. The active ingredient content can vary TREMENDOUSly from one batch of herbs to the next!
I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that MANY companies don't use standardized herbal extracts in their formulas. And some companies include a few in the standardized form and then include others as non-standardized. Of course you can guess why!
Non-standardized herbs are WAY less expensive.
This becomes part of the criteria for working out just how effective a given supplement is and how much VALUE FOR MONEY it gives you.
2. Self Manufacture - The Door Stays Closed!
What you want to see here is that a supplement company manufactures its own products with no sub-contracting out of ANY part of the manufacturing process.
One of the MAJOR quality control issues with contract manufacturing is that it can and DOES OPEN THE DOOR for adulterated ingredients to enter the manufacturing chain.
The truth is that there are significantly varying standards between contract manufacturers (CM's)! For people such as myself who have worked in the supplement industry, this is well known!
Nutritional supplement quality is dependent on:
So, when it comes to supplement companies, what you definitely want to see is that they use equipment (3-D blender), raw material sourcing and testing protocols as well as mixing and blending protocols compliant with a pharmaceutical level. There are some supplement companies out there that do this but they are very few in number. So few in fact that you could easily count the number on just one hand.
Because these standards help differentiate these professional companies from their competitors you will see that they clearly refer to their manufacturing standards and protocols on their website. So, if you can't find any information on this topic you should take it as a red flag in that a company clearly has things to hide such as the fact that due to cost restraints (and shareholder greed), they are not able to manufacture to a level consistent with the best supplement companies out there.
When it comes to your safety and the manufacture of genuine elite level supplements, pharmaceutical level manufacturing for the areas I've explained above are absolutely critical. Please take the time to check. Your family's safety may depend on it and of course we all want the best value for our money that we can get.
Regardless of whether your supplement company employs manufacturing standards consistent with pharmaceutical level or not, they must be FDA cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) compliant. cGMP is the regulatory standard for the manufacture of herbal nutrition supplements and all natural vitamin supplements in the USA and Australia/New Zealand.
On top of this, as an addltional safeguard, we want to see a supplement manufacturer having HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) accreditation.
The HACCP standard is endorsed by the US FDA and many governmental regulatory bodies worldwide. It involves science based controls for efficiency, hygiene and risk reduction in manufacturing processes. This is a worldwide quality system for the food industry but is also used in the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement industries.
4. No Artificial Anything
If your supplement company doesn't have a 100% money back guarantee ask yourself WHY! Or if they have some CRAZY CONDITIONS attached to a money back guarantee (like deciding if the supplement is helping you AFTER JUST 1 or 2 MONTHS!), ask yourself WHY!
The Xtend-Life company which manufactures the health supplement which I use, offer a full one year period for their 100% money back guarantee. I haven't seen such a generous offer from any of the other market leading supplements.
6. The Number Of Inactive ("Other") Ingredients
Inactive ingredients are known in the industry as 'excipients'. On supplement labels they are often referred to as 'Other Ingredients' but in a recent trend certain companies are now listing them under the heading 'Ingredients'.
Very sneaky!!
They offer no medicinal benefit to you but some must be there to help in the manufacturing of the supplement tablet. The industry's leading super supplements have around the one dozen mark or a little less. The issue we must check on then, is just how many excipients are included in a multi ingredient health supplement and to estimate whether the supplement company is deliberately including too many in order to fill up the tablet thereby lowering their costs.
Cost cutting measures are usually well hidden from supplement consumers and it takes informed industry insiders such as myself to bring them 'out' so that you can make well informed purchasing decisions.
For example one of the most well known multi ingredient vitamin and mineral supplements in Australia, Asia and the USA contains 64 excipients in their women's version and 49 in their men's formula. This company does a lot of advertising and has developed excellent brand awareness as a 'quality supplement'. If you are a health conscious and a dedicated supplement user, you will know the name of this supplement for sure. It's name begins with the letter C.
What's more the women's version contains iron at 100% of the established daily value. Iron is a pro-oxident, the opposite of an antioxident. Too much iron oxidizes LDL cholesterol which makes it more toxic and more likely to end up in the arteries. My position is that iron should not be taken as an additive, including by women unless they have been medically diagnosed with a deficiency. Only vegetarians and women who have heavy menstrual bleeding are likely to need iron. If a deficiency has been established, extra iron can be taken through an isolated iron supplement.
'Total Balance' from Xtend-Life is a new generation, health supplement which I believe has set a new standard in the supplement industry.
Total Balance is NOT a multi vitamin/mineral supplement!
Comparing a multi vitamin/mineral supplement formula with the Total Balance formula is like comparing a yacht with an ocean liner!
It's A Highly Sophisticated, Science Based Multi Nutrient Health Supplement!
The bio-scientist who created Total Balance is one of the world's most renowned scientists with both a pharmaceutical and natural substance background.
Even NASA in the USA had him creating natural brain formulas for their astronauts!
Wouldn't you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing your supplement has been created by one of the world's most RENOWNED EXPERTS in supplement formulation?
Total Balance will provide you with the maximum health benefits of turmeric!
***** Total Balance Women's Premium contains 18 standardized extracts (including turmeric)
**** Total Balance Men's Premium contains 15 standardized extracts (including turmeric)
Of course Total Balance meets every one of the criteria listed above and much MORE.
The different versions (regular and premium) have between them:
Which target every organ and system in your body, including both your skin and brain. If you would like to read further information about Total Balance you can use the following links to jump to the TB product pages on the Xtend-Life website.
Total Balance Unisex (teens / post menopausal women)
Total Balance Children's Version
Total Balance Unisex Premium
Total Balance is the only health supplement available today which contains the 'specialized ingredients' needed to defy:
The Total Balance formula is UNIQUE. It contains key ingredients from ALL nutrient categories:
This is the health supplement that my family and I use. I began with TB in 2000 while my mother, father and sister began in 2005.
We have all had FANTASTIC health results. Strengthened immunity is the most noticeable benefit for me while for mum it was a normalization of her cholesterol level and blood pressure. Dad achieved a significant improvement in his arthritis (in his hands). All of us have reported increased energy which is also the most common benefit reported my by close friends and colleagues who use Total Balance.
If you are interested in learning more details of exactly how the Total Balance premium formula shapes up against the formulas of a number of the industry's other leading, well known multi ingredient health supplements, just click this link: My Total Balance Review
High quality human studies are therefore needed to conclusively confirm turmeric's effectiveness especially for major conditions like CANCER, AIDS, HEART DISEASE and so on.
Turmeric is a unique and powerful herb which should always be included as a herbal extract in scienced-based, multi ingredient health supplements aimed at enhanced full body protection and overall wellness.

Researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments to come to the conclusion that there could be at least one or two trillion galaxies in the observable universe— ten times the 100 or 200 billion that was the previous estimate.
"It boggles the mind that over 90 percent of the galaxies in the universe have yet to be studied," Christopher Conselice, the lead author on a new study on the topic and an astrophysics professor at the University of Nottingham, said in a statement. "Who knows what interesting properties we will find when we discover these galaxies with future generations of telescopes?"
When astronomers use telescopes to peer at distant stars, they are actually looking back in time, since the light takes a while to get to Earth. It's a phenomenon that Ray Villard, of the Space Telescope Science Institute, compares to "a postcard that got lost in the mail."
And over billions of years, small galaxies merged to create bigger ones, Villard told FoxNews.com, like "big fish [eating] little fish."
Ninety percent of galaxies in the observable universe are too dim and distant to be seen today, according to the new research; ten percent can be seen. With a more powerful telescope, the ancient smaller galaxies (which have since merged) could hypothetically become visible.
This Hubble Space Telescope view reveals thousands of galaxies stretching back into time across billions of light-years of space. The image covers a portion of a large galaxy census called the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). (NASA, ESA, the GOODS Team, and M. Giavialisco (University of Massachusetts, Amherst))
"These results are powerful evidence that a significant galaxy evolution has taken place throughout the universe's history, which dramatically reduced the number of galaxies through mergers between them — thus reducing their total number," Conselice said in the statement.
The study was published in the the Astrophysical Journal.

With a still-struggling economy, and a government too paralyzed by partisanship to develop a solution, it's tempting to say the country has less to be thankful for this year than it did in the last.
This would be a mistake. Whatever our current problems, they're problems that we, ourselves, may choose to solve. Such a society, where we may stand or fall together based on our own efforts as a people, remains rare in human history, but guarantees that each day entails the promise of a better tomorrow. We have but to act. We should act. Self-determination is a gift, but it's also one we shouldn't squander. As a people, we ought to celebrate our ability to work together by doing precisely that. Here's hoping.

A federal judge sentenced a former Los Gatos convent employee to 14 months in prison Aug. 22. It was less than half of the 30-month prison sentence she was possibly facing after allegedly admitting that she embezzled more than $100,000 from the Los Gatos-based convent.

Thousands may be affected by California identity theft ring
According to the Glendale Police department, an identity theft and phony credit card manufacturing ring bust could have affected thousands of people. The department went on to say that the ring could result in millions of dollars in losses. The investigation that sparked the busting of the ring was launched when a man was arrested for having possession of re-encoded credit cards during a traffic stop. After officers found the re-encoded credit cards, they obtained a search warrant for a business that the man owned. There, they seized evidence of fake credit card manufacturing. Several arrests were made in connection with the ID theft operation.
Eight charged with mortgage fraud in California
On July 31, local and federal authorities in Ventura took eight individuals into custody in connection with an alleged mortgage fraud scheme. According to authorities, the scheme involved filing loan applications on behalf of primarily Spanish-speaking individuals in the lower-income bracket. The applications would generate substantial commissions and loan fees. When the homes went into foreclosure, lending institutions lost millions of dollars.
Fraud in California drug rehab
An addiction counselor at the Pride Health Services, located in Inglewood, knew something was wrong shortly after she was hired. It seemed like contacting patients to introduce herself would be the easiest part of her job, but it turned out to be harder than anticipated. Some of the patients were in jail. Several never showed up to the clinic and one was dead.
Murder charges thrown out due to dull-nosed police dog
A La Puente murder charge was reversed in a California court after more than 10 years of appeals because it was based largely on a scent match provided by a police dog with a history of misidentification, according to a Courthouse News Service story. The defendant was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001, but the investigation was fraught with confusion and poor identification. He was initially identified from a sketch based on an eyewitness description, and eyewitnesses who picked him out of a photo lineup later changed their stories at trial.

Anyway, I digress, right in the beginning of the post this time.
Soon after that enlightening discussion on 'desi mentalities' (which I hope to dedicate a post to, some time in the future, completely credited to Denzil), I ended up asking him the quintessential 'What's up?' question. Before he could even think up a reply substantiating his existence on Earth, there I was, typing away to glory, giving a detailed account of what he had done the past five days.
No, there is no correlation between my obsession with the occult octopus and my dete(du)ctive skills. Only that I have been following Facebook way too regularly, knowingly or unknowingly stalking people's minute by minute updates on their life stories.
It is scary, at two levels so to say.
The first is to realize the level of vulnerability I am exposing myself to. All of us, am sure, have at least some 300-400 'friends', most of whom we have not met in ages, who are perhaps just acquaintances, or those we met for once in our whole lifetime. Merely because of an insane need to satiate the networking hunger, we are 'friends' and would be aware of everything about each other on a dynamic basis.
What's news here, so you ask. Despite knowing this, our illusionary returns seem to outweigh the risks, life goes on. And, that is why FB is such a hit anyway.
That brings me to the next fear, my biggest one about being way too well connected. It is the fear of being misunderstood with that single random update or comment that I post up there. It is as if Big Brother is watching me. Eternally. The world is following my every word on FB (I do tend to exaggerate :D). And, as I have mentioned elsewhere on this blog, it is a heterogeneous world that is following me. So, each one who sees my words up there arrives at his / her own conclusion about what is running through my mind. Now, I cannot really blame anyone, for I do the same – getting judgmental based on otherwise innocuous statements that flourish out there.
The world, thanks to FB, has become one big masala newspaper, where each of us tries to figure out what is up and about in the other's life, who has hooked up with whom and who has broken up, who has quit their jobs and who has got a transfer. Sleaze and jazz, a la filmdom, does not seem to have spared the otherwise 'aam aadmi' FB world too.
Or, perhaps, we like all the attention, being the center of attraction, be it positive or negative. And, there is some sense of purposefulness we seem to achieve out of our own little celebrity statuses, without exactly having to do a ramp walk or act in a movie!

These truly gorgeous floral still-lifes are inspired by the highly refined execution of this prominent genre of the 17th century Dutch and Flemish schools. No wonder they have been such a hit. Like tulip bulbs themselves, floral paintings were a symbol of wealth and influence. Celadon has created stunning new, close up compositions of voluptuous blooms, in colours to co-ordinate with our contemporary palette. Soft blush tones against inky blacks make them real stand outs.

I have only had this variety of Cattleya percivaliana a month or so. I got it from Ian's Orchids on eBay. I have a few plants from him and have had a good experience on each purchase.
Cattleya percivaliana grows in Venezuela and Colombia in the mountains above 4000 feet near rivers. It is a large sized lithophytic plant out in the full sun. It is fragrant and blooms in the fall.
This is the fourth variety of Cattleya percivaliana in the collection and that is probably enough until I get more experience with this species. Also, I tend to get carried away and I don't want to end up with this species as I did with Laelia anceps.
I re-potted from large bark to rock after I saw the new growth. I will position the light on the 'windward' side of the plant to get it to straighten up.

At least it may prevent some people to switch from 1.3 to 2.x.

Before this change it was mostly usable by some workarounds. The change was unfortunately backported to 1.3.25 (<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/apache-1.3/src/modules/standard/mod_rewrite.c.diff?r1=1.175&r2=1.176&diff_format=h>) which made it also unusable in nearly all cases in 1.3. I'm still considering the mod_rewrite fix to be _very_ important. The very small subset of RewriteRules that do work on non-unices is IMHO not sufficient for a *GA* version. nd -- package Hacker::Perl::Another::Just;print qq~@{[reverse split/::/ =>__PACKAGE__]}~; # André Malo # http://www.perlig.de #
