The pioneering adventure travel operator, G Adventures, has acquired the elegant, upscale Swan Hellenic brand today.
Swan Hellenic was formerly part of the All Leisure Group, which went bankrupt just after Christmas. All Leisure was immediately forced to suspend sailings of both its Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery brands.
Now G Adventures is preparing to relaunch Swan Hellenic next year, with provisional itineraries to be announced this coming summer. The new owners are at pains to maintain that the on board atmosphere aboard the line's one and only ship- the Minerva- will continue to remain focused to the tastes of it's fiercely loyal British clientele.
At just under 13,000 tons, the Minerva carries just 350 passengers in an ambiance that is reminiscent of a floating English country house. And, with her ice strengthened hull, the 1989 built ship is able to venture into areas where few other ships can safely go.
Swan Hellenic places the emphasis very much on educational voyages, charting the history and evolution of the regions of call it visits, typically on itineraries of twelve to fourteen nights. Highlights of the Swan Hellenic product includes expert, on board guest lecturers covering fields such as history, politics and religion. The line is also famous for including all shore excursions, as well as offering free beer, wine and soft drinks at both lunch and dinner.
A welcome piece of news, indeed. Stay tuned for updates.
Since this piece went 'live', I have been reliably informed that what G Adventures have acquired is the brand and the IP for Swan Hellenic. The Minerva- which sailed under charter for SH- has, apparently, been returned to he owner.

Surviving agitated ghosts, irritated witches, angry werewolves, and the horrors of high school has never been so hard.
The night of Samhain may be behind them, but Yuki and her friends have only begun to face the challenges of their paranormal gifts. Tensions are rising--in the pack, at school, and within their tightly knit group of friends.
The tragic death of Wakefield High student Dylan Jacobs has emotions boiling over. The J-Team, Yuki's arch nemesis, have turned the entire football team against her. They claim that Yuki is a witch and blame her for the death of their fellow teammate. Will Yuki be able to solve the mystery of Dylan's death, and the legend of Witchtrot Road, before tempers flare and things turn violent?
The tragic death of Wakefield High student Dylan Jacobs has emotions boiling over. The J-Team, Yuki's arch nemesis, have turned the entire football team against her. They claim that Yuki is a witch and blame her for the death of their fellow teammate. Will Yuki be able to solve the mystery of Dylan's death, and the legend of Witchtrot Road, before tempers flare and things turn violent?
Yuki survived Samhain, and everything should be fine (until next year, anyway. Or until the witches she stole the amulet from find out she took it. Whichever comes first). But a jock has just died on Witchtrot Lane, centre of a witchy curse, and the J-Team – jocks and general jerks – think Yuki is the one who killed him. She didn't, obviously, but try telling that to the J-Team. Plus a werewolf from Simon's past has reappeared, and the rivalry between the two of them seems ready to explode. But back to the J-Team… they are determined, scarily determined. Yuki's in real danger, until she can prove to the J-Team that's she's innocent. Business as usual then: working on short time with a curse hanging over her head. And don't forget: "Never, ever travel on Witchtrot Road after dark…"
This is seriously one of my very favourite series ever. It's fun, cute, quirky, scary, funny and choc-a-block with ghosts. The world is amazing – spirit guides, werewolves, dead-people-smelling-girls, witches. The characters are wonderful and relatable. The relationships feel 100% real and believable. I was glued to the page from start to finish. I just love everything about the Spirit Guide series – what am I going to do while I wait for Book Four?!
Yuki is honestly one of my favourite heroines. She's quirky, fun and totally cute. I love her! Plus, she's completely insane. Or, as my aunt would say, "special in the head". Which is just a nice, cute way of saying mad. Yuki's just so funny and witty and generally awesome! I mean, she made little rice balls people, out of rice pudding, trail mix, fruit pieces and toothpicks… and ATE THEM! God, that made me laugh. She's just absolutely, insanely wonderful – I love her snarky…ness. And the really wonderful, wacky ideas came out of that special head.
Calvin Miller, alpha wolf and Yuki's gorgeous boyfriend. He's perfect: can I have one like him? Though he takes his alpha responsibilities seriously, he also had a bit of a wild side. (Swoon.) And he's always looking after Yuki. He is, truly, as Yuki said, "made of awesome". Cal's just way too cute, and really rocking that alpha thing.
Cal and Yuki were, once again, the cutest EVER. I totally felt the chemistry, and the love and the general adorableness. They just complete each other. Cal could practically read Yuki's mind: he knew exactly how to make her feel better. They were so cute, and the chemistry is totally believable.
And Emma, the best friend ever, who is sweet, funny and addicted to organisation. And, again, knew exactly how to make Yuki feel better, what Yuki needed. I love her! But something strange was goin' on with Emma in this one… She wasn't "On The Drugs", but what the hey was up with her?
Simon was just brilliant! I LOVE his guy! He's absolutely hilarious, totally vain and completely bonkers. Now Cal's second in command: Simon would do anything for his alpha. And he respects Cal ('though Cal's probably the only one Simon does respect!). Always flirting, he's constantly funny with an ironic edge. He's ace and wonderful and the best.
A newcomer in the series, Gabriel, Meredith's brother, Simon's true love who died because of him. Gabriel hated Simon, blaming him for Meredith's death (this is part of a whole backstory thing, one that no one will get unless they've read the books). Gabriel was bad tempered. Therefore Yuki nicknamed him "The Brat", and let me just tell ya, the nickname suited him. He was sulky and childish. Although, he was kinda funny – but shh! Don't tell him that!
The plot was really fast and super twisty, with an ending I definitely did not see coming – just how I like 'em. I was scared, amused, confused and seriously wowed by the (another Yuki word) awesomeness. I love this series! I haven't come across anything even close to it. No one does the hilarious to the scary like E.J. She rocks! As Yuki would say.
Now: BOOK FOUR PLEASE! I mean, the ending was even worse than the others. Way worse. Not suspense-worse, just worse-worse. And if I don't find out what happens next, I'm gonna end up Loco Lycans. Seriously. Plus, how will I be able to live without Yuki and the gang?! I almost lost it when I went a day without the books. So how, how, how will I manage without them?
Finally, to sum the story up in one sentence: Sleuthing with a side of ghosts – love it!

When Rachael Charmley, who blogs at Rachael Charmley filling it with lovely writing, left a comment on my blog, telling me that she is nominating me for the Sunshine Award, that's what I said : "What? Who? Me? Seriously?" . I was just waking up and it made me smile and opened my eyes wider than ever (and if you know me, you'd know that my eyes are big anyway!).
Sunshine award? Sunshine? That's what all my friends call me! I felt as if a friend is sending me some kind of a teaser on Monday morning. Well, since I've already begun sharing my nickname with you, let's continue with ten more things you don't know about me:
1. Every year, I have to visit a new place. Country, city, lake, river, historical place, national or international, doesn't matter. But I have to be able to explore something. Expand my view.
2. Speaking of expanding my view: Love roller coasters!The spinning, turning, rush, all of it! I'm always that person who asks if we can go to the scariest, most thrilling ride at the beginning of the trip, and than, later on go over and over and over to that one, with whomever I can find! When I went to the Disneyland Paris, I went over and over to the Space Mountain, that the guy ushering you to the carts became my friend! Bonjour Monsieur!
3. I paint and draw. Usually, I start with the blank canvas in front of me, developing my idea, which in my head looks amazing. I tell my friends and family, they get all excited and happy. But than, I mix the colors, stroke my brush on the canvas and suddenly, I have another idea! That color, that vibe, it means something else! After a week or so, my canvas looks nothing like what I told everyone I'm making and they look at it with their concern faces and say "Oh, um…what is this?" I always say, "It's not finished" and carry on. At the end, the end of the paining, the end of all my energy and feelings, the end of the paint I have bought for the painting, my tarp is filled with layers and texture and it can mean whatever you see in it.
4.I was a biochemistry major. I still glance over to the equations, liquids, the systems of the human body. I still read the label of the food I'm buying and recognize the ingredients. What became a habit of mine is reading the label of the shampoos and cremes I use, while in the shower. Afterwards I Google some unknown things online…which often leads to me not using the entire brand anymore! It's so hard to find something natural these days!
5. My biggest accomplishment- Starting my own NGO! It's an organization with a purpose to improve the social and professional status of all citizens. I recognized the need for it. I have volunteered my entire life, so I was familiar with the volunteer view, but founding my own, was a really new experience for me. However, I did it, it felt great and it's still is amazing! All the wonderful people I meet, the versatility of the projects I do but most of all, managing to fulfill the dreams of the members of my organization is a fueling inspiration every single day!
6. I am interested in so many things, I have three blogs I regularly write posts on:
Scripting Happiness (this one, that I am constantly scripting something on)
Morning Angel (I am a morning person, but I'll tell you about that later)
In1weekend (every weekend, I try to do something new, different, and exciting)
7. Reading books saves my life every day. I really mean this. Whatever happens during the day, and we all know that things can and often do go wrong every day, I can open a book, dive my thoughts into it and let it clear my head of all the negativity out there.
8. I am the biggest morning person you know! That is what everyone knows about me. I'm up at 5 am every day, sometimes even before 5, with just my internal clock waking me! I do have alarms, but I wake up before them and turn them off. Feel kind of Sheldon-like there 🙂 However, I am the happiest person in the world when the others (friends, family, dogs, whoever) wake up early with me!
9. I was incredibly anemic for my entire life. As I got older, the anemia started to affect my every day life, couldn't walk , stay focused, constant headaches, depression, almost every symptom there is. I've tried every medicine there is, but as I am intolerant to iron supplements, well, it didn't do any good. Eventually, I started practicing nutrition and cured myself with food!
10. I guess I write a lot as well. But it's not that personal, as you can clearly read it through this post 🙂
Now, for the fun part: 10 awesome blogs, I know you'll love as much as I do:
3. Baker italia
9. Cassie
10. Butterfly Mind
Check out every blog on this list! They are all unique and inspiring, completely deserving the award they are nominated for!
Again, thanks for the nomination and motivation to Rachael Charmley !
Have a great day, everyone!

Two weeks ago I went to Cebu for a weekend but not for leisure but because we have to attend to a convention, of course I took the opportunity to dress up lol! Cebu doesn't have that cool breeze compared with Baguio or Tagaytay but I am wearing a cardigan (which my bestfriend Jay gave to me) because it is cold inside the convention room, I just felt like I needed to clear that out haha!
Being part of the working class means you need to study more because a lot of things are getting to be more detailed and going to conventions like this are necessary. Remember that education is a continuous process that you should not take for granted kids because knowledge and skills are great investments that cannot be stolen from you.
Though of course after the convention we get to explore a bit, sayang naman kasi if we don't right? So we just threaded through the City since there's really not much time and we got to do the Sky Adventure, went to Magellan's Cross and to the Bay which Magellan died. No regrets though because I'll be coming back there by mid March and can't wait to see more of Cebu!

You know how you sit around a Thanksgiving table and someone inevitably forces you to say what you're thankful for? I hate that. The moment the thankfulness begins, I feel my stomach start to reject all the food I just stuffed into it. It's always the same thing as you go around the table: family, jobs, shelter… Not that these aren't things to be thankful for, but I think we say what we believe we should be saying. If I were honest, I would have said: Cadbury Chocolate (the real stuff from England, not that fake stuff from Hershey's), whoopie pies, pants with elastic waistbands, and my iPad mini!
But this Thanksgiving is different. This year has brought many changes into my life. Some are welcomed changes that should have happened long ago, some – well, some were not so welcomed. When Susan got sick in August, everything changed. It's not like she got sick and then got better – she's sick every single day. It's a daily process, a daily understanding of how precious life really is. Every day is a gift. We don't take it for granted, we're grateful for every moment. It's taught me not to look back, but rather to live in the here and now. We're not promised more than that, so… we choose to be happy with what we have. Right here, right now. Of course, we haven't given up the whole going back to Paris thing, so there's always that…
Tomorrow when Susan and I carve up our turkey, and she inevitably asks what I'm thankful for I will honestly say to her the following: I'm thankful for you, for the doctors who saved your life and continue to keep you alive. For family, for my friends (who are also my family and surround me with love, acceptance and laughter). For love, for time, for the courage to let go of people who only brought negative things into my life. For sunrises and sunsets. For the birds who bring me such joy on our patio. For Tawn Battiste's whoopie pies in my freezer, for pants with elastic waistbands, and yes, for my iPad mini!
Happy Thanksgiving.

There are many people who have not completed high school and find themselves interested in pursuing a higher paying position or continuing with his or her education. For these people, studying and taking the GED (General Equivalency Development) test is be a great option. There are certain things a person should know about the GED in order to be well-prepared for the entire process.
If a person successfully passes the GED, he or she will earn a High School Equivalency Certificate. This certificate is very similar to a high school diploma, and is usually considered as such by community colleges and some employers.
A person should also know the test details. In general, the GED covers four main subjects:
- Reasoning through Language Arts
- Mathematical Reasoning
- Social Sciences
- Science
The length of each subject test varies: Science and social studies are 90 minutes each, math is 115 minutes and the language section is 115 minutes according to the GED Testing Service (www.ged.com).
A person should bear in mind that state requirements vary. For example, the minimum age for those who can take the GED can vary depending upon the state. It is very important that a person learn about the specific requirements for the state that he or is she is living in. Visit the articles on this site about the GED requirements for individual states for more information regarding exact GED testing requirements. This site may also reveal information on where the GED test are offered, options on how to prepare for the test and what a person needs to know about costs and passing scores.
If a person takes the time to properly research the necessary information about the GED, he or she may be more prepared for the GED test and increase the likeliness of successfully passing it.

|When originally acquired the nationality of this man was unknown. Based on the location where the photograph was
taken, in this case Boreno, it seemed that he could have been British, Dutch or even possibly American. His name -
Andrew Rape - while somewhat unusual did nothing to narrow down the possibilities. The rather generic look of his
uniform was also little help. The fact that the inscription on the photo's reverse was in English seemed to ultimately
eliminate him being from the Netherlands.
Was this man was a member of one the regular British military units stationed in the Straights Settlements or possibly
employed in the local forces of the North Borneo Chartered Company? Could he have been an American soldier from
the Philippine Islands that lie not that far to the north east?
After quite some time and many repeated searches I finally identified this man as Andrew Wesley Rape of
Petersville, Pennsylvania. The finding of two United States passport applications filled out by Andrew Wesley Rape
one from 1916 and the other from 1921 both of which bear photos of the man confirmed his identity.
Andrew Wesley Rape was born at Petersville, Pennsylvania on 6 September, 1877 the son of Elias Edward Rape and
Mary Buehler. As early as 1900 Andrew was employed as an oil rig builder. His trade took him all over the world and
his passport applications and steam ship passenger manifests show him traveling to the Caribbean, South America
and the Dutch East Indies - anywhere it seemed there was oil to be had.
At some time during his life he was a member of the Fifth Service Ordinance Command with his duties including that
of carpenter. This mention comes for his 1964 obituary and newspaper articles such as this are notoriously bad when it
comes to getting things like old military unit names and designations correct. Without a doubt a member of a U.S.
military unit I have been unable to find any mention of an organization by that specific name. The article also makes
no mention as to when he was a member of that same unit. It is possible that he was enlisted at the time this
photograph was taken which would account for his rather military looking khaki uniform although this could have
simply been his chosen civilian tropical kit worn while working in Borneo. His military service may well have been
during World War One.
Andrew Wesley Rape married Miss Grace McCoy with whom he had four children. He died at the age of 89 on 26
June, 1964 at Newark, Ohio.

The compact R&S DST200 RF diagnostic chamber makes it easy for developers of wireless devices such as mobile phones to perform reproducible radiated RF measurements on the workbench. The benchtop chamber simulates conditions that approximate free space and features a 700 MHz to 6 GHz broadband test antenna especially designed for the chamber. Users can measure self-interference or radiated emissions, perform coexistence tests and verify the antenna radiation pattern during development. As a result, designers do not have to wait for test times to become available in large EMC test chambers.
Today's smart phones integrate complex technologies into the smallest possible space. Unfortunately, this spatial proximity can lead to self-interference. The new R&S DST200 RF diagnostic chamber allows developers of smart phones to test and optimize their designs early in the development phase to reduce self-interference to the optimal levels.
Due to the RF diagnostic chamber's compact size of 770 by 760 by 695 mm, it can be placed on the workbench in the lab. This means that the developer can test new devices repeatedly in the design phase with minimal effort, with only the final certification measurement having to be performed in a large test chamber, where it is highly likely that the device will achieve a first-time pass. The compact R&S DST200 RF diagnostic chamber enables an R&D department to operate more flexibly and use test tools and test environments more efficiently than ever before.
The R&S DST200 has a circularly polarized, 700 MHz to 6 GHz test antenna at the top of the actual test chamber. The high field uniformity that the chamber produces throughout the equipment under test's entire volume ensures good reproducibility of results. Results remain stable even if the EUT is slightly shifted.
The shielding effectiveness of the chamber exceeds 110 dB, allowing sensitivity tests on GPS receivers with input levels of below –160 dBm. The optional 3D positioner allows the user to move the EUT to any defined position relative to the test antenna and fix it in place with a turn of the wrist. It features two axes of rotation with angular scaling. Another feature of the R&S DST200 is the inclusion of shielded compartments above and below the test chamber, which provide space for additional hardware such as preamplifiers, RF filters or RF feedthroughs.

Santa Rosa County is the first county in the nation to earn the �Safe Communities America� designation through the National Safety Council. The board of county commissioners will receive the designation at their 9 a.m. Jan. 23 regular meeting.
According to the National Safety Council, communities with a safe community designation experience a decrease in injuries, an average of 10 percent less for both intentional and unintentional injuries.
Safe Communities America, a program of the National Safety Council, is an approach to community injury reduction structured around a broad coalition of community partners - involving business, civic organizations, local government, non-profits, and local residents.
Becoming a safe community is a collaborative and inclusive process that can take from nine to 12 months to complete and includes an application and site visit. Communities seeking national designation must meet the following four areas of competency: sustained collaboration, understanding of their community data, offering of programs that address the intentional and unintentional injury patterns in their community, and demonstrate an understanding of evaluation.
Assessors from the National Safety Council visited Santa Rosa County on December 11, 2012. The team toured several locations including the sheriff�s office, Bennett Russell Elementary, the United Way, Gulf Breeze City Hall, Lifeguard Ambulance and met with county and city leaders, both elected and from the community. Santa Rosa is the first county in the U.S. to receive the Safe Communities America designation.

Our History
Dan Clayton Homes (DCH) was established in 2011 by long-time Guelph resident and UofG graduate Dan Clayton. Dan's grandfather, Jack Ingram, was also a home builder and land developer in Guelph. Under Jack's guidance, Dan learned the value of honesty, reliability and service in his formative years—lessons that he carried into his own career as a home builder.
Guelph is very important to Dan and the team at DCH. We are passionate about the effort that goes into the custom home building process, particularly how our finished product impacts the community landscape. This passion drives our detail-oriented approach.
Our goal is to allow new homeowners to stay in the Guelph area and grow in the ways that they want—that's why we're focused on providing high-quality, well-designed homes in the Northern Heights neighborhood of Guelph.

We at Adventure Unbound believe that responsible travel demands constant dedication and innovation. Our responsible travel practices follow the highest criterion of environmental and cultural stewardship in the locations we operate.
Responsible travel puts into action practices which respect and protect the natural environments we visit as well as the sociocultural environment. Responsible travel also raises awareness of the impact travelers can have on the environment they visit and inspires others to become active advocates for further conservation efforts.
At Adventure Unbound, responsible travel means we aim to connect people in a sincere and personally meaningful way to each of the locations we visit.
We found all our travel practices on the core ethics of protecting and respecting the Earth in all of its unique beauty. In practice, this means we try to minimize our footprint through discriminating energy use and the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle. We tailor these ethics into all of our practices, from our field operations into our office operations.
Check below to see a list of ways we make like bigfoot and leave no trace:
- Many Adventure Unbound trips are largely human powered—exploring countries by foot, kayak, raft, or bike. When we travel by motor, we partner with local operators who use the most fuel-efficient vehicles available.
- All our camping trips practice "Leave No Trace" procedures, and have since we began in 1979 (check out what "Leave No Trace" means to us here).
- We respect wildlife and their habitats on all of our trips, making sure we don't disrupt them or make them uncomfortable as we witness them in their habitats. For instance, motorized boats and white noise disrupt whales' sonar communication, so we rely on kayaks.
Responsible travel necessitates learning about and understanding the wildlife, ecosystem, and culture of the places we visit. We believe that having guides who can share the region's natural and cultural history with our guests in a meaningful, relevant way enriches the travel experience and encourages further stewardship.
Over 75% of our USA-based travel guides are Certified Interpretive Guides through the National Association of Interpretation. All of our guides are dedicated to illuminating the natural history of the animals and plants we observe as a way to forge intellectual and emotional connections between people and the places we visit.
Responsible, sustainable travel involves supporting the local communities we visit as much as protecting the environment. At Adventure Unbound, we are genuinely invested in the people and culture of the places we travel, and we support the communities in a number of ways.
Responsible Travel in Practice: Our Galápagos Story
We are highly active in the Galápagos, where sustainable tourism practices are at their most critical. Here's how we support the Galápagos community:
- As endorsed by the Galápagos National Park Service, we employ many local guides and fishermen to aid the transition to a tourism-based economy.
- We visit and support the Pescado Azul Women's Association, dedicated to increasing the quality of life of fishermen, their families and the Puerto Villamil community, on Isabella Island.
- We financially supported the purchase of four-stroke engines for several of our local fishing boat operators.
- Our land-based Galápagos tours invest a large percentage of our total trip revenue in the local Galápagos economy. Our commitment to international, small group trips means we use independent, locally owned restaurants, hotels, and transportation.
Supporting Communities Global and Regional
- We hire local guides as a way to support the local economy.
- We purchase supplies and services from many local businesses.
- We donate more than $15,000 a year in goods and services to charities in Idaho, Washington, and Montana.
- We run an annual "Raft for the Cure," a practice started in 2008, which raises over $2,500 a year in support of our local Coeur d'Alene, Idaho chapter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
- We began an annual "Raft to Remember" in 2009, a benefit tour for the Alzheimer's Association and our local chapter that raises more than $1,000.
Hiring local guides plays a significant role in the authenticity of our international and national adventures as our guides provide guests with an inside-perspective of the country and location visited. We carefully select each of our guides to ensure that they enrich your Adventure Unbound travel experience.
Furthermore, hiring local guides serves as an excellent opportunity to support the local economy and give back to their community.
Here's how our guides give back to you as well:
- All our international guides are certified guides, hold degrees in subjects related to natural history, and are bilingual.
- Many of our guides, whether national or international, are local to the region visited—a position that gives insight and opens surprising doors to the local culture.

Ahoy again, shipmates
I was sure that I had an image or two of the Ferry's LCM(3)s, both colour and B&W, that showed the numbering used on the landing craft.
If memory serves me correctly (and it quite often doesn't these days), the LCM(3)s were originally numbered 1 to 6 (white on black?) on the coxswain's cabin, then on the stern but in later trips to Vung Tau, they carried both the ship's number p214 as well as the individual LCM(3) number in white outlined in black.
Can anyone assist with clarification, please?

Porcelain & Ceramic Tiles
Our collection of premium Italian porcelain tiles complements our natural stone collections. There are extra-large slabs with minimal thickness that are not possible with natural stone. Only the most trained of eyes can distinguish these products from natural stone, but they do offer a consistency of tone that, again, makes them different to natural stone.

What our patients say about us
I met Sabika more than 15 years ago when I decided to use Botox as a preventive through my 30's, due to my stressful yet public job, where I was frequently on television or in the paper.I have been seeing Sabika at Revere every 6 months since and trust her expertise and skill to ensure I always look my best. I am now nearly 50 and continue to use Botox to keep my face looking fresh and youthful – results are very subtle and look natural which keeps me feeling and looking great. I still have a stressful job now, but never look stressed or old! Sabika at Revere has always been in my life and I will continue to make appointments at Revere with her.

I went to see Dr Mohan in a very nervous and anxious state due to badly placed fillers I'd been living with for a long time. He immediately put me at ease. He's a naturally caring and personable Doctor who takes all the time to listen and answer any questions you have. I had many! There was no pressure to go ahead with anything until I was sure. I did decide to go ahead with hyalase to dissolve the filler. Dr Mohan is highly skilled in this procedure and i am thrilled with the natural looking results. He did exactly what I asked for. I would trust and highly recommend Dr Mohan especially for any correction work. His support staff, nurses and office team are also all lovely to deal with and exceptionally professional.

Their knowledge, ground breaking machines, offerings and techniques are excellent. I have my laser hair removal and pico laser with Jess - she is amazing!! Always make me feel at ease, is so diligent with the treatments and I'm so happy with the results so far. I enjoy visiting Revere - everyone is so friendly and what they do is pioneering!
Going through the menopause, I noticed changes to my body and on turning 50 decided to do something about it. The usual things weren't having the desired effect, so after doing some research I ended up at Revere in Northwood. After an initial consultation we agreed that Cool Sculpting on my inner and outer thighs was the best treatment for my needs. The actual treatment was a little uncomfortable initially but not painful. Photos were taken before and 12 weeks after. I had noticed improvements during this time but was astounded when I actually saw the evidence of how drastically it had improved! My silhouette had improved dramatically and my skin tone was hugely improved. The reduction in fat on my thighs meant that my skin was much smoother from the whole area from my knees to my buttocks - my cellulite improved by about 75%! I am absolutely delighted with the results and it has given me the confidence boost I needed to believe I can still have a figure to be proud of in my 50s!
From the moment I entered the Northwood clinic I was made to feel at ease. Dr Sabika was professional yet had a great bedside manner. She really listened to my concerns and gave me several options and a step by step plan without being pushy. When I finally decided to proceed with fillers she explained everything thoroughly and told me what the realistic outcome would be. I was delighted with the results which were very natural and subtle yet made a big difference to my confidence. I would absolutely recommend Dr Sabika to anyone who is thinking of fillers.

It is extremely easy to bork a first-generation My Book World NAS device because it is difficult to know when the device has actually shut itself off.
IMHO, there is one very glaring defect in the design of the original (blue-rings) My Book World NAS device: There is no way to know if the device has well and truly shut itself off. I do not know if this issue affects other versions or not, but I would not be surprised if it does.
This is a problem because the blue "activity lights" are extinguished very early in the power-off sequence, while considerable disk activity remains to be done. Unfortunately, since there is no other way to know if the device has been completely powered down, it is very easy to assume that - since all the lights are off - that shutdown is complete.
This problem is magnified by the fact that we are constantly being reminded to disconnect power from devices that have been turned off to eliminate residual power waste.
If power is removed from the device prior to shutdown being complete, the result can be a badly borked device, or worse. Since there is no indication of activity except the blue rings, it is easy to conclude that the device is not active and then remove power too early.
Add a "pilot light", (power light), connected to the +12 supply going to the hard drives.
What I did was to take a small red LED in series with a resistor of a few K-ohms, and connect it between the hard drive's +12 line and ground.
I drilled a small hole in the bottom center of the front panel, installed the LED and resistor, and hard-wired it to the +12 and ground terminals on the main PCB of the device.
What this does is indicate if power is being applied to the hard drives, (i.e. Are the drives still spinning?), or not. Once the LED goes off, you can be confident that it is safe to remove power without borking the box.
What say ye?
Jim (JR)
(Note: Since the box is currently on my rack, running, I am not able to provide pictures or a more detailed explanation.)

Previous 2011 Primetime Performer Releases (D-I men): Sept. 13 ... Oct.5
..... CLICK HERE for 2010 CS360 Primetime Performer Archive (D-I men honored during '10 NCAA postseason)
RELEASE: Oct. 11, 2011 Contact: Pete LaFleur (email@example.com)
LaSalle's Renee Washington named Oct. 10 D-I Women's Primetime Player
Full listing of D-1/2/3 men's and women's Primetime Honors for week of Oct. 3-9
UC Santa Barbara senior midfielder Luis Silva has been tabbed for CS360 Primetime Player of the Week honors for Division I men's soccer, as announced by CollegeSoccer360.com. The Los Angeles native is the top honoree among eight D-I men (listed below) who were named to the CS360 Primetime Performers Weekly Honor Roll, for Oct. 3-9 . The Primetime designation recognizes players based on situational factors (such as quality of opponent, clutch play, leadership, all-around contributions, etc.) displayed in their performances during the past week, rather than solely on raw stats (full listing of criteria included below). See briefinfo. and action photos below for all eight honorees, with headshots pictured in right sidebar.
UC Santa Barbara senior midfielder Luis Silva (left)
SILVA proved his worth as a clutch goalscorer during the past week, most notably in UCSB's 2-1 overtime triumph over defending NCAA champion Akron (cs360 #3). The senior tied that tension-packed game in the 64th minute, after taking a cross from Dom Sarle and scoring on a 10-yard shot to the lower-right corner. Silva's heroics continued in the opening minute of OT, cashing in a leftside combination sequence from James and Michael Nonni by scoring from close range (90:33).
Akron had lost only once in its previous 60 games and was riding 18-game unbeaten streak (dating back to late October of the 2010 season). Later in the week, Silva helped win another overtime game by opening the scoring ('11) in UCSB's Big West Conference opener at UC Davis (2-1).
Selection for the CS360 weekly awards is based on any/all of the following "primetime" criteria (i.e. not solely based on raw stats):
• Must have been playing in a game involving a top-40 team from the CS360 Composite National Rankings (or in a game involving a preseason conference favorite/leader), or performed at a high level in a game that is key to the team's postseason qualification/participation.
• In general, preference is given based on the quality of the opponent and situational factors involved in the player's accomplishments.
• Exhibited strong leadership and/or involved in clutch performances, such as gamewinning goals, noteworthy comebacks, late scores, momentum-shifting play, all-around performance, team spirit, etc.
• Overcame adversity or extreme circumstances (for the team and/or individual).
• Bonus consideration is given for key performances away from team's home field.

The successful coach feels his players have undeservedly been overlooked for the individual award and has underlined the importance of a united squad
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has voiced his frustration with the lack of individual recognition for Spanish players as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated Ballon d'Or elections in recent years.
The Real Madrid attacker won the prestigious individual award in 2008 and in 2013, while the Argentina international took home the trophy in the four years in between, with players such as Xavi and Andres Iniesta missing out.
Del Bosque, however, believes one of the players who guided Spain to glory at Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012 should have won the election at some point following their success at international level.
"You have to consider those who are in the running, who are obviously very good players," Del Bosque said at a press conference.
"But when a team wins, like we have with the European Championships and the World Cup, I think that those successes should be recognised individually.
"I'm not going to put any names forward but I do think there was a moment when a Spanish player deserved to win the Ballon d'Or."
Del Bosque then went on to stress it's vital for Spain that there's no more friction between Barcelona and Real Madrid players if they are to be successful at this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
"With good relationships amongst the players, we will be a little closer to success."
Spain lifted their first world title in South Africa in 2010 and could become only the third nation to retain the title after Italy (1934 and 1938) and Brazil (1958 and 1962).

BP ad shows protesters during National Shrimp Festival in Alabama
This was originally posted at al.com
GULF SHORES, Alabama — BP launched its new television advertising campaign this week touting its commitment to the Gulf Coast's post-oil spill recovery, and a small group of anti-BP protesters are enjoying some extra exposure.
The Alabama Oil Spill Aftermath Coalition held a small demonstration near the site of the 40th annual National Shrimp Festival in October and a few seconds of the popular event are shown in the nationally televised BP ad.
In the minute-long ad's brief segment showing the Shrimp Festival, crowds line the Gulf Shores beachfront under clear skies. On the beach, beyond the festival grounds, the small group can be seen.
In an email to fuelfix.com, Michele Harmon, who is associated with the coalition, said she noticed cameras panning the scene from the roof of a nearby restaurant.
"I, like the rest of the protesters, assumed they were media filming the crowds at the festival," Harmon said. "When they panned the cameras our way, we made sure they knew we were there, in hopes of getting media coverage."
Kim McCuiston of Foley, another organizers of the event, told the Press-Register at the time that the Oct. 15 rally was an attempt to tell people that not enough had been done to clean the Gulf since the spill.
Can't make this stuff up!

Occupy Y'all Street
by KurtFF8
The Huffington Post has launched a series about Occupations that are "under-publicized" and has started with a video from Gainesville, Florida. It demonstrates how the Occupy movement really resonates with "average folks" (whatever that means) and how it is really taking root in places like Gainesville. The city does have a major university and a history of activism, so perhaps seeing an Occupy movement taking shape there shouldn't be too surprising. Hopefully the Huffington Post reporters visit Occupy sites like Roanoke, Virginia next.
The video can be see on the Huffington Post's website here

Occupy Dallas Calls for General Strike: Nov. 30th
Before the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas,
Whereas the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas stands in support of Occupy Wall Street which started September 17, 2011 at Liberty Square in Manhattan's Financial District. The movement has now spread across the country and is influencing the world. Occupy Dallas is a horizontally organized resistance movement to counteract the unprecedented consolidation of wealth and power in the world today. The Occupy movement does not have a hierarchy or a formalized structure. The Occupy movement represents those that feel disenfranchised from the current socioeconomic system because of policy passed by our political institutions and the actions of those in control of the unprecedented consolidation of wealth;
Whereas by consensus we view that for the first time in American history, current generations will not be as prosperous as preceding generations. This denial of the American Dream is at the heart of Occupy Movement.
Whereas by consensus we view that the social system has become tilted against us by:
1. Unfair treatment and discrimination against individuals based on Gender, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Race, National Origin, Physical Ability or any other factor that minimizes any person's individual worth
2. The commoditization of individual privacy
3. Profit driven news sources with individual agendas
4. Narrow definitions of what constitutes a family;
Whereas by consensus we view that the Political system has become tilted against us by:
1. Widespread deregulation that has eliminated common sense regulations that have insured long term prosperity and protection from predatory business practices
2. A Tax code that is cumbersome and rife with loopholes and language that favors an economic minority at the expense of the majority of wage earners
3. A Supreme Court decision that has put into place the unprecedented concept of extending first amendment protections to political donations
4. Jeopardizing the future of social security through investiture and privatization schemes
5. By reducing funding to our education system our future generations are provided a lesser education that previous generations received because of increased class size and reduced resources
6. Because of decreasing funding individuals are saddled with higher student loan debt
7. A political system where even the most perfunctory tasks of government are partisan battles;
Whereas by consensus we view that the Economic system has become tilted against us by:
1. A general degradation of the employer and employee relationship namely
a. the practice referred to as "dead peasants" insurance policies where by companies profit from the death of individuals.
b. the elimination of traditional pension and retirement arrangements in favor of 401 (k) investment vehicles.
c. outsourcing of jobs
d. failing or eliminating paid sick leave
e. failing or eliminating paid maternity leave
f. relying on part-time workers rather than investing in full time employees
g. scheduling work hours to insure that employees cannot obtain offered benefits
h. failing to provide a livable wage
i. reducing and eliminating employer based health care coverage
2. Incredible income disparity between management and employees.
3. Active discouragement and intimidation of unionization of the workforce
4. Instituting illogical accounting practices
5. Engaging in unethical business practices that jeopardize the long term financial stability of the country
6. Viewing financial profit as more important than the individual worth of a people.
Then let it them be resolved by the General Assembly of Occupy Dallas through consensus on Date (___________________) that we call upon all people to engage in a General Strike on November 30th, 2011. We implore all people to:
1. Refrain from Buying or Selling any goods or services including but not limited to, any petroleum products, consumer goods or bank transactions; starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011.
2. Refrain from working for a wage starting at 12:01 am to 11:59pm on November 30th, 2011 excluding those individuals that provide emergency and necessary functions including but not limited to Police, Fire and Medical personnel.
3. Join or form local groups to peacefully protest against the above stated elements.
Please join us in solidarity to make known our grievances and demand substantive change to insure our future.
The South fights back too
Visit http://www.occupytogether.com for information on your local "Occupy" event
The economic crisis in the South
From a New York Times article
The once-booming South, which entered the recession with the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, is now struggling with some of the highest rates, recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show.
Several Southern states — including South Carolina, whose 11.1 percent unemployment rate is the fourth highest in the nation — have higher unemployment rates than they did a year ago. Unemployment in the South is now higher than it is in the Northeast and the Midwest, which include Rust Belt states that were struggling even before the recession.
For decades, the nation's economic landscape consisted of a prospering Sun Belt and a struggling Rust Belt. Since the recession hit, though, that is no longer the case. Unemployment remains high across much of the country — the national rate is 9.1 percent — but the regions have recovered at different speeds.
Now, though, of the states with the 10 highest unemployment rates, six are in the South. The region, which relied heavily on manufacturing and construction, was hit hard by the downturn.
Economists offer a variety of explanations for the South's performance. "For a long time we tended to outpace the national average with regard to economic performance, and a lot of that was driven by, for lack of a better word, development and in-migration," said Michael Chriszt, an assistant vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's research department. "That came to an abrupt halt, and it has not picked up."
The South and the Death Penalty
by KurtFF8
The recent execution of Troy Davis has caused many to again discuss the merits of the death penalty in the United States. (It also sparked a mass march in New York City that was met with a heavy handed police response). According to the Daily Beast, the South has the highest execution rate in the country, as well as the highest murder rate. On top of that, the incarceration capital of the world is a southern city: New Orleans.
These renewed debates not only bring into question broad topics like the death penalty itself, but they should also let us contextualize them in a regional sense. We should begin asking why is the South the home to so many problems still (to throw yet another one in there: the South is "bearing the brunt" of the US's raising poverty rate). There are plenty of answers to the question of why the South faces these problems. But one thing should be quite clear, it is something often repeated on this site: the South remains an important part of the country to organize progressive forces.
Amongst the many lessons we learned from the Troy Davis incident (to steal the ANSWER coalition's article title), we should also add the lesson that the world pays attention to the South, not only to the injustices that happen there but to the folks that organize against those injustices.

Around the world, mayors are more powerful than ever. But they still have to pose for lots of weird pictures.
There is indeed a growing global movement to give mayors more power, or, if you will, to let them rule the world instead of so many faltering national governments—but forget all that for now. No, today we're here to focus on a decidedly less lofty, more nitty-gritty aspect of what it meant to be a mayor in 2014. Because unlike presidents, the world's mayors regularly walk among the people. They stop and chat. They shake hands and kiss babies. And above all, they pose for far weirder pictures than any other top elected official.
I know, I know, including any image featuring London Mayor Boris Johnson in a list of this sort is practically cheating—he's the Muppet King of Mayors, bouncing around London with his crazy hair and total disregard for whether he appears to be an utter goofball. But back in October, Johnson accidentally tripped a small child during a public appearance at a youth soccer match. And there's a GIF of it. You're welcome.

We Help Residents Of Washington, Oregon And Idaho Qualify For Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are not the same as Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Qualifying for SSDI because of a disability or impairment, or family benefits as a surviving spouse or child of an SSDI recipient is not based on your income level. Benefits are paid according to the record of payments into the system over years of employment.
Whether you are the primary recipient of SSDI benefits or qualify for family or survival benefits, you will still qualify for benefits under the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Call us to ask how other benefits affect your SSDI eligibility.
SSDI is a federal program, administered by federal employees working at federal Social Security offices and boards throughout the nation. SNAP and other types of food stamp programs may be subsidized by the federal government but are administered at the state government level.
Why choose a licensed SSDI lawyer?
Unlike for-profit SSDI assistance companies, we are licensed attorneys. We are part of the Washington State Bar and are held accountable to maintaining the highest standards for quality service and ethical representation.
For help with your SSDI claim in Washington, Oregon or Idaho, call the attorneys at Tucker & Boklage, PLLC, in Vancouver, Washington. We are a team of experienced SSDI benefits attorneys that practices exclusively in the area of Social Security law.
Call Us To Learn More About Social Security And SNAP Benefits

text: I like a modified version of door number one. Buy stuff that is useful in the material world. If one has not started yet, begin to shed metals for real assets that offer a return. For me, this asset is real estate. Non-fancy, bank owned, neglected real property in good neighborhoods. It's not something one is going to make a killing on but this asset is the poor step child of assets seven years after it was king. It feels a bit like metals in 2000 and it's local. I can leverage some of it against crazy low interest rates on a currency that has few chances of succeeding long term. During this quiet period before new financial storms land, it's a good time to position assets into productive, non speculative areas. Assets you can touch, used by people you trust. That is the most important investment meme over the next several decades. Be smart, be careful, be local.

As a fan of sports-themed romances I'm thrilled to introduce you to the first installment in a new hockey-based series. Keep reading to get a tantalizing taste of Alex by Sawyer Bennett, along with my impressions of it. You can also learn about this book through Ms. Bennett's words and by visiting the other blogs hosting this tour. Make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win an awesome prize of an Alex Crossman/Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Jersey too!
Five Things You Need To Know About This Book....Courtesy of Ms. Bennett.....
1. The story is set in Raleigh, North Carolina and focuses on professional athlete, Alex Crossman, who is the most valuable player (or prick according to some) on the Carolina Cold Fury Hockey team.
2. Alex is a damaged man. He can be an ass, but he does it to protect himself. His history is complicated and the man he is today has been twisted by it.
3. Ironically, the heroine, Sutton Price, has a very similar and tragic past to Alex's. Yet how she handled it has shaped her into a very different person than Alex.
4. While this book has some lovely romance and really steamy, sexy times, there are also important issues that are addressed. Redemption and forgiveness tie it all together.
5. You may not want to read this book in public, especially when you get to those really steamy, sexy times I mentioned above.
Hockey star Alexander Crossman has a reputation as a cold-hearted player on and off the rink. Pushed into the sport by an alcoholic father, Alex isn't afraid to give fans the proverbial middle finger, relishing his role as the MVP they love to hate. Management, however, isn't so amused. Now Alex has a choice: fix his public image through community service or ride the bench. But Alex refuses to be molded into the Carolina Cold Fury poster boy . . . not even by a tempting redhead with killer curves.
As a social worker, Sutton Price is accustomed to difficult people—like Alex, who's been assigned to help her create a drug-abuse awareness program for at-risk youth as part of the team's effort to clean up his image. What she doesn't expect is the arrogant smirk from his perfect lips to stir her most heated fantasies. But Sutton isn't one to cross professional boundaries—and besides, Alex doesn't do relationships . . . or does he? The more she sees behind Alex's bad-boy façade, the more Sutton craves the man she uncovers.

FIND OUT ABOUT THE SERIES ON Goodreads.
As a fan of sports-themed romances I gobbled this one up as it presented us with two very likable and compelling characters undertaking an intensely emotional journey to HEA full of internal strife. With a storyline full of pain from past incidents that has molded each character differently, theirs is a journey both heartbreaking and heartwarming that kept me enthralled until the last page was turned. Throw in the vividly depicted hockey scenes and this is a story, and a world, that I look forward to revisiting.
Alex Crossman is the bad boy of hockey who ignores the fans while devoting himself to casual hook-ups off the ice and being the best player on the ice. He's coolly confident but also slightly detached when it comes to the game that's made him famous courtesy of a past that's made him the unrepentant jerk he is today. With a father who's mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive has left Alex full of anger and self-hatred that comes out in his surly attitude. It's left him alone with no one on his side, especially the father whose presence keeps haunting him. To clean up his image he's forced into working with addiction counselor Sutton Price to help kids which is life-altering for Alex as Sutton is like no woman he's known before. He's attracted to her but their relationship starts out as friends and slowly morphs into more as she digs deep into the man he really is and reminds him how to enjoy life. Alex is someone you're rooting for even when he's being his worst. He knows from the start that he has issues but it's not until he meets Sutton that he starts making changes. She makes him feel worthwhile and gives him the support that's always been missing in his life. Theirs is a love that's emotional as well as physical and made for an intensely emotional journey.
Sutton too came from a background of abuse. After leaving an abusive husband her mother and her became homeless until a remarkable man changed their lives and made them into a family. With a younger brother she dotes on she's learned about unconditional love and support. From the moment she meets Alex she sees the lost little boy behind the angry man and sets out to peel away his layers of rage. Along the way she falls for him completely and finally discovers the meaning of real love that has left her conflicted since being dumped a year ago. Sutton is a strong-willed yet caring woman who takes her job home with her as she wears her heart on her sleeve. She's an immensely likable heroine who never felt sorry for what befell her early in life and has become a stronger and more caring person because of it.
Her and Alex are delightful to watch as they each get the other to do things they never expected which forms the basis for their friendship. When they're together their scenes crackle with sexual tension which ultimately evolved into steamy sexual interludes. Their journey to HEA is one of internal struggles rather than from outside forces which made for a more impactful story and an ultimately richer conclusion. The hockey scenes are vividly and accurately depicted which draws you into Alex's life and his struggles with what the sport means to him. Amongst the action-packed sequences we get introduced to some of the players, especially the charming and sexy Garrett Samuelson, who was the only one brave enough to befriend Alex. Garrett left a lasting impression on me and I look forward to his story being told in a future Cold Fury Hockey series installment. Fans of sports-themed romances with find this a wonderful addition to the genre and Ms. Bennett a guiding force.
My rating for this is an A-
*I got this book from NatGalley for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett is a snarky Southern woman and reformed trial lawyer who decided to finally start putting on paper all of the stories that were floating in her head. Her husband works for a Fortune 100 company which lets him fly all over the world while she stays at home with their daughter and three big, furry dogs who hog the bed. Sawyer would like to report she doesn't have many weaknesses but can be bribed with a nominal amount of milk chocolate.Website: http://www.

How to avoid medication side effects: put them in your sinus rinse!
There has been a growing trend in the recent years away from aggressive use of pharmaceutical drugs and towards treatments with lower side effect profile. This has been a natural reaction to known (and unknown) short-term and long-term side effects of many medications. The problem with alternative treatments, however, is that they are not always as effective as the first choice. Physicians have grappled with this issue for years.
But what if you could use your first choice antibiotic or other medication, — perhaps even at a higher concentration — and deliver it directly to the tissue that is affected (for example the middle ear) without that drug reaching the rest of the body at all?
That is what is being addressed today with new innovations in topical drug delivery.
The idea of topical antibiotic delivery is certainly not new. Placing ear tubes in children with recurrent ear infections is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, and it has been in practice for decades. Ear tubes are a very easy way to deliver a high concentration of antibiotic ear drops to the space behind the ear drum where the infection resides, resulting in a highly effective treatment without any of the associated reactions of oral antibiotics.
Variations on this idea are now in use, or being developed, for treating chronic infectious and allergic disorders of the nose and sinuses. Saline (salt water) rinses are a traditional natural remedy for hygiene and maintenance of the sinuses and has been highly effective using various forms of delivery that are readily available at retail stores and pharmacies, such as Neti pots, squeeze bottles, and so on. Modern advances in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial treatments have allowed us to take compounded topical drugs, add these to saline rinse bottles and deliver them directly into the sinuses with minimal to no absorption in the rest of the body. This provides an effective treatment with very few side effects!
Are the days of brightly colored capsules and tablets for treatment of various ailments over? Not quite, but at least we now have some alternatives. For more information, ask your physicians about the availability of topical alternatives to anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and even non-steroidal pain medications.
