Card: vacation spots on Lake Baikal
*The most interesting places on Baikal are marked on the map. Having pressed a tag you will see the rounds offered by us with visit of these places.
Rest on Baikal in the summer
Were tired of city noise and vanity? You look for new feelings and interesting acquaintances? You want rest and romanticism? You are fond of yoga or the photo? Then come to Baikal! We are glad to invite you to Lake Baikal and to make your rest pleasant, interesting, unforgettable!
Rest on Baikal in the summer on the one hand - the finest opportunity to spend holidays, with another - at all not to what most of vacationers got used! It not the sea coast and not ocean luxury. Rest on Lake Baikal is the Siberian weather and a mountain reservoir in the summer. There not hot, water in blankets of natural gulfs doesn't get warm higher than 15C °, winds cold, and the sun can burn. And such beauty that all this won't stop army of admirers of the unusual nature and surprising spirit of these reserved edges! For receiving a maximum of positive emotions I took advices from the Internet. After a trip they were added with personal experience which I want to share with you.
Considering that the summer to GOA and on Baikal is had nothing in common, except the name of a season, on the lake it is necessary to be prepared for a trip correctly. That has to be in your baggage:
- The convenient closed footwear (the sneakers, tracking boots convenient to a sandal) is the only opportunity to take pleasure in foot walks. And feet can be saved from injuries, and to pass much. Otherwise you will or sit in one place, or to buy that is on sale in local shops. Since rest on Lake Baikal 2016 gives in the summer the mass of opportunities for walks, leave sandals on a heel for city streets. They were never not useful to me.
- Warm clothes. I wasn't mistaken, in the summer to Baikal it is necessary to take with itself trousers and windbreakers. Huge open spaces of water are perfectly blown. If to take with itself the correct clothes, rest on Baikal in the summer 2016 won't take place in a lodge waiting for heat. Revising the pictures taken during a summer season on the majority of them we in trousers and windbreakers, especially on water.
- Headdresses. The burning sun and strong winds do necessary use of bandanas or similar subjects of clothes: both from a sunstroke, and will save from otitis.
At correctly picked up clothes rest on Baikal in the summer 2016 responses from you and your company will collect the most positive! After all there is no bad weather. At any atmospheric phenomena Baikal is beautiful!
The most topical issue about rest on Lake Baikal - the prices. It concerns all aspects of a trip. Rest on Lake Baikal in the summer of 2016 prices, as well as usually, will consolidate from several parts: journey, accommodation, food, excursion program etc. If you plan rest on Baikal in the summer 2016, the prices will a little decrease due to early booking. We bought plane tickets in advance, watching sales of airlines. The tendency to rise in price of services during a high season remains many years. Rest on Baikal in the summer of the price has also slightly above, than in the winter or in the spring. Now still it is possible to book a hotel accommodation at the price of last season. By my experience, rest on Baikal 2016 cheap can be carried out in the summer, beforehand having taken care of it. There are also other ways to save. For example, to take with itself instant products: noodles, potato, porridges. But I won't decide to advise it because the food on Baikal is incomparable (the omul is good in any kind)!
Program of rest
Knowing about the preferences, you will easily pick up the program for taste. Various rounds to Baikal will allow to take pleasure in beauty, opportunities, history and spirituality in that measure in which you will wish 2016 summer. If landscapes near the lake are fine everywhere, visit of caves will be optimum with accommodation on the west bank.
The cultural heritage is more presented in Irkutsk and Taltsakh. It is possible to get acquainted with spiritual shrines of Shamanism (east coast and Olkhon), the Buddhism (Ogoy and Arshan) and Christianities (Irkutsk). Fishing is good in any point of Baikal, as well as foot walks. But judges and that and another, say that from Severobaykalsk absolutely other feelings: nekhozhennost, netronutost, pristineness. There it is also possible to find rest on Baikal in the summer cheap.
If on Lake Baikal, having a rest in the summer, the prices you will call high - try to change the program. Rafting, diving, cruises on the lake will be the most expensive types of rest. If you decided to have a rest on Lake Baikal, the prices of 2016 will manage to be reduced a little if to replace expensive entertainments, at least partially, with pedestrian transitions. Then on Baikal to have a rest in the summer at the prices not of VIP level, it will become possible. In our group there were people with different hobbies therefore we chose round with alternation of expensive and budgetary types of rest. And having visited Irkutsk, Olkhon, Arshan, it is possible with a mass of impressions and having met the budget.
Escaping from vanity to Baikal, lake of rest, it is possible to agree to the prices, as an inevitable payment for inexpressible beauty and all-consuming rest.
Rest on Baikal always stimulates in the summer responses of tourists. After all during a warm season it is possible to see both storming waves, and an unruffled surface, and thickness of water, transparent to the bottom. All of us liked travel that and to you we wish!

I was thinking that my activities relating to Virtual Worlds are beginning to bear fruit, in that I can go to business development meetings with potential clients and be able to talk VWs with credibility.
I'm blowing my own trumpet here [er, I think that's called Marketing – Ed.], but hopefully you will find the list of posts I've done on VWs useful:

This is only a test...
UPDATE: Ok, looks like I won't get bitten by the year-end wraparound problem...
Ahhh. I hate the holidays. I hate them cubed when I have the flu for several weeks.
Feh. Enough. Time to start posting again. Right now, some "link love." :)
Dean Esmay has managed to find a way to piss off half of Known Space with one of his iconoclastic positions here, wherein he challenges conventional thought on what really causes AIDS.
VodkaPundit Stephen Green lapses into premature Olde Farte Mode while ruminating on the origin of Twixters, with a bonus link to a delightful Lileks column on Olive Garden in the bargain.
Captain Ed at Captain's Quarters raises a good point while discussing the legitimacy of the upcoming Iraq elections
We managed to muster out a whopping 60.7% of our registered voters nationwide for our election -- and that was the best in over a generation. So far, I don't hear calls that our past nine elections should be invalidated due to their low turnout.Food for thought... :)
John of Arrrgh! mentions the work his Rotary Club does, including tsunami relief, Polio eradication, and sending school supplies to Iraq. One of his on-the-ground correspondents in Iraq included an adorable picture of some schoolkids saying "thanks."
Finally the always lovely (and talented) Ambra Nykol thinks Governor-theoretically-elect Gregoire is evil. Her reaction to Mr. Gregoire's title as consort-elect of First Gentleman: 'Riiiight. I am so not calling anybody a "First Gentleman".'
Dean Esmay recently linked to this article by Michelle Malkin, about some of the issues that minority conservatives uniquely have deal with, as conservatives.
Some of the comments at Dean's World display a remarkable lack of sympathy for Ms. Malkin, including the observation that
freedom also includes the right to not be locked up in a cage simply because you belong to a certain race. That's something Malkin doesn't understand.not to mention the discussion of Ms. Malkin's "narcissistic rambling." apparently "supposed to make liberals look bad."
My reaction started life as a response in that thread, but I decided to put it up here as well.
Don Sensing links to a story about the man who said "No."
Stanislov Petrov was in charge of the Soviet Union's DEW system on September 26, 1983. Soviet pilots had just shot down KAL 007 three and a half weeks earlier.
Just after midnight the Oko ("eye") satellite array indicated a launch of five Minuteman II missles from Montana. Petrov had just a few minutes to warn the Soviet leaders who had to decide on a response, but something felt wrong to Lieutenant Colonel. Why only five?
So he told those leaders it was a false alarm: "I imagined if Id assume the responsibility for unleashing the third World War and I said, no, I wouldnt.
The Dynamic Duo, Rosemary and Dean are even now having their second baby.
Since they cheated, they already knew it's a boy, and they've named him Draco Malfoy Esmay.
Ok. Just joshing. His real name is Drake. ;)
Godspeed, you two, and let's send our prayers out for them.
It really should say that on some columns. Honestly. Take this one, for example, in which Michael Demmons blames the pregnancy and abortion rates in America on Republicans, although in a later comment he backtracks in order to place the blame more squarely on the "social conservatives."
The mind boggles...
Naturally, I felt compelled to reply. ;)
I forgot to mention a while back that the Smart Cleric -Paul Burgess- went and got hisself a blog of his ver' own!
Worse yet, I didn't update my link so that it pointed to said blog. That's fixed now.
So run on over and give Let the Finder Beware a try; maybe Paul's old Sci-Fi comic book is up your alley. Or perhaps discussions of philsophy a la Camus are your forte. Or maybe you just like hot chicks like Uma Thurmond and her huge hands...
Ok. In this post, I accused Michael Demmons of bad reasoning.
Discussions in the comment thread with Michael cleared things up somewhat. He was commenting on which party -if any- was responsible for abortion rates in the US. Thing is, one of the posts upon which he was commenting linked back to Oliver Willis; someone I avoid reading in the same way I avoid "reality" TV and Ben Affleck policitcal commentary. Hence I didn't read the original posts.
I have to admit that "if you had to blame a party, I would blame Republians" (later changed to "social conservatives") is semantically much different from the absolute statement that Republicans (or "social conservatives") are responsible for the abortion rate, etc.
So I retract the vehement tone of my original post, but stand by the facts presented. Said vehemence was due to percieved bad reasoning, not the social position per se.
Yes, boys and girls, that's one of the things that gets Casey fired up: really bad reasoning. Now you know. :)
I've been enjoying the recent weather here in southwest Ohio; fifty degrees in January is a good thing.
But it was too good to last. I get up Friday morning, shower, and find a message from work (I was due in at 11:00 am): we don't think we'll need you for lunch.
I look outside and see five more inches of bloody snow.
I can't wait for spring.
Was going to add a shot of the front yard, but computer is currently ignoring the USB cable to the camera... :(
It seems that John of Arrggg! has become a Mortal Human two days in a row.
I, for one, would like to welcome our new overlord and master...
Heh. Good on ya, John.
Thursday, January 27, will mark my first blogiversary. I doubt I'll hit 6,000 visits by then.
But hey, it's been a fun 12 months anyway...
My thanks to those who dropped by, and to those to even commented.
Especial thanks to those who have linked to me, and my BlogDaddy, Dean Esmay.
Here's to the new year!
I don't know if it's just the local area (maybe I'm lucky enough to be in a test market), but I just got an email from RoadRunner explaining that they just increased the bandwidth to 5Mbps (megabits/second).
So I trotted over to testmy.net; a great place to see just how fast your throughput really is.
I tested out at 4683Kpbs (4.68Mbps)! Another way to measure that is 572 KB/sec (Kilobytes/second).
Or, as the web page says "You are running: 84 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 1.79 second(s)."
There's some great people out there. Dean, naturally... :)
Then there's Rocket Jones; someone who I really should link to more often, since rockets are da bomb (metaphorically speaking).
Right now I especially want to thank Annika for some linky love, especially since she's of Danish extraction (what can I say, Nordic women are sexy), and she links to cool airplanes (what can I saysquared, Nordic women who link to airplane photos are really really sexy, heh).
I gotta say, MuNuvians really are the nicest people...
It's Sunday, January 30, 1:00AM Eastern time as I write this. I see from One Hand Clapping that the voting has already started in Iraq. Apparently the first man to vote was Interim President Ghazi Mashal Ajil al-Yawer, a Sunni Muslim. As Don Sensing points out, it would seem that this was choreographed so that Sunnis would be encouraged to vote.
Don includes a link I've seen mentioned elsewhere, and I've been meaning to mention it here: Friends of Democracy. Do not walk, run over there and read (as they say) the whole thing. The people writing there are Iraqi citizens. They aren't "shills" for any US political party, nor are they CIA operatives. They are just men and women who want to make a difference for their country.
For those who are oh-so-blase about the elections, and the odds for success: here's a photo of Mehsin Imgoter absentee voting in Michigan. His son was killed in the 1991 uprising.
If that picture doesn't touch you somehow, there's something wrong with you...
UPDATE: I foolishly forgot to mention the ever-indispensible Command Post for up to the minute blogging as the Iraq election unfolds.
Dean has been (rightfully) happy about the great turnout in Iraq today. Of course, he's right that the MSM would find a negative spin. CNN, for example:
President Bush today called Iraq's historic election a "resounding success" as Iraqis "take rightful control of their country's destiny." With polls now closed, Iraqi officials are reporting a higher turnout than expected, despite a spate of attacks and threats aimed at disrupting the vote. At least 25 people were killed and more than 70 wounded in a string of attacks.
First sentance: Bush is happy too.
Second sentance: turnout is "higher than expected." (as opposed to the rumored 70%+ we've seen cited elsewhere)
Third sentance: yep, gotta bring up the
terrorists insurgents.
Call it the speed-bump method of spinning the news; each successive sentance is progressively more negative. Also note the complete absence of context, either in the lede or the body linked above.
So instead of reporting that attacks (and casualties) were damn near non-existant, with an excellent turnout, CNN instead quotes Bush, then implies with two down-twists to imply that he's being over-optimistic again.
Captain Ed has done an excellent job dissecting
blithering idiot former General Attorney Ramsey Clark's ...defense... of Saddam Hussein.
Apparently we've been "demonizing" Hussein. This definitely qualifies as a Duranty Report.

Floor Warden Facts
All of our training emphasizes how tenants and building management need to work together as a unit to ensure safety. In the event of fire or other emergencies, a fast and orderly building evacuation can save lives.
Tenants with 10 or more employees are required by OSHA to have an emergency action plan to help ensure tenant safety during disasters. The selection and training of Floor Wardens is an important part of any action plan.
Typical duties of Floor Wardens:
- Wardens and alternative Wardens need to be familiar with all tenants and their workspace locations to ensure that no one is left behind in cases of emergency.
- A clear understanding of the proper evacuation route and gathering place are essential for preventing panic. Your tenant's Floor Wardens should practice walking the primary and backup emergency routes to avoid any mistakes that could result from stress.
- Floor Wardens will work with the building's fire safety director to check off names of present employees and to note any that are missing after an evacuation.
- Your tenant's reception employees should keep logs of any absent employees or office visitors that are present, and share this information with the proper Floor Warden.
Floor Warden training:
- Cross training of several tenant employees is important to account for Floor Wardens who may be absent during any given emergency or leave their position with the company.
- Special training or equipment should be given to Wardens who have tenant employees with disabilities that will require additional evacuation assistance.
- Instructions should be given to Wardens on the location and usage of equipment such as flashlights, radios or whistles.
- Some tenants in large buildings might want to designate additional employees as stairwell and/or elevator monitors who will supervise safe and orderly evacuations. Floor Wardens should work closely with these monitors to keep track of employees and ensure they take the proper exit routes.
Benefits of the Allied Universal Training System:
- Our system offers real-time updates to Floor Warden lists, which can be viewed by building management
- We send automatic annual reminders to each Warden for training renewal
- Our system is fully integrated with the fire department to ensure Wardens, Fire Safety Directors and the local departments have the same occupancy data for every building
- We record user training and testing for future reference
Fire or other disasters strike quickly and often without warning. Through repetition of training and certification with our system, Floor Wardens will play an integral part in tenant safety by making sure no one is left behind in times of danger.
For the latest emergency management training for facility/building managers, contact Allied Universal, Inc. Our e-based system offers the best emergency training available, with automated and integrated features. Allied Universal, Inc. is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, a non-profit trade organization that promotes sustainability in how buildings are designed, built and operated.

Video: Tom Cotton Calls Iran Nuclear Deal 'Dangerous Mistake'
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas' all-Republican congressional delegation roundly criticized a nuclear deal announced Tuesday between Iran and world powers, with freshman U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton calling it a "grievous, dangerous mistake."
Cotton, an Army veteran who authored an open letter to Iran in March signed by 46 other senators about the nuclear negotiations, vowed to fight the agreement that would curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions.
"Over the coming weeks, I will work tirelessly to protect America from this deal and to stop Iran from obtaining unclear weapons capability," Cotton said in a statement released by his office. "I am confident the American people will repudiate this dangerous deal and Congress will kill the deal."

Shelby County Commission chairman Mike Ritz, the man who has been at the center of the school-merger crisis for the last two years and has been the driving force behind ongoing litigation, assayed the situation in the wake of Monday's passage of municipal-schools legislation in Nashville and saw some complications remaining.
At some point, a few of the six suburban municipalities may find the independent school districts they establish vulnerable to legal challenge, Ritz said. The chairman, a resident of Germantown himself, pinpointed Germantown as most likely to encounter problems because of the large number of non-resident students served by the eight schools now operating within the city.
"These students may not be educated by the city for long because they won't be contributing to the taxes paid by Germantown residents to maintain the schools, and the city's taxpayers may get their board to react to that," said Ritz, who noted that a fair number of the outliers would be minority students, and any change in their status would put the district in jeopardy.
The next phase of the commission's litigation against municipal schools is an equal-opportunity challenge on resegregation grounds, and presiding U.S. district judge Hardy Mays is maintaining the option to hold trial on the point, though Ritz acknowledged that any such process might not occur until after the new municipal districts are established, probably in August 2014.
Another matter noted by Ritz was that of how and at what cost new municipal districts might acquire existing school buildings. This is a question to be negotiated between the municipalities and the Unified School Board, Ritz said. "That makes it all the more urgent that we go ahead and expand the board to 13 members, a number more representative of the entire community."
Ritz said that enough issues remained unresolved to justify a resumption of the negotiations between the commission and the municipalities that were conducted briefly but suspended at year's end. "I think they [the municipalities] will see it in their interest to come back to the table," he said.
• The bill enabling municipal schools in Shelby County (SB 1353/HB 1288) was a retooling of a 2012 version that had been ruled unconstitutional by Mays because its application was limited to Shelby County.
The new version applies statewide and, for whatever reason, did not encounter the controversy that befell an early draft of the 2012 bill that was scaled back to meet objections from legislators outside Shelby County.
With little more than perfunctory debate, this year's bill passed both chambers of the Republican-dominated Tennessee General Assembly with comfortable margins Monday, thereby allowing the de facto secession from Shelby County's soon-to-be "unified" school district that six suburban municipalities in the county have been seeking for at least two years.
Mayors and other representatives of those suburbs — Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington, and Millington — were on hand for the occasion and were introduced in the state House of Representatives by suburban GOP members before Monday's vote in that chamber. The House vote was 70-24 in favor. The Senate followed with a 24-5 tally for the bill.
There was some opposition. In the House, Representative Bill Dunn (R-Knoxville) rose to express forebodings about the measure and declared his opposition to it, as he had to last year's original model. Dunn worried that, since this year's bill, unlike the final product last year, was cast so as to apply statewide, not just to Shelby County, "we're going to see some problems down the road."
The Knoxville legislator pointed out that he had ultimately supported the Shelby County-only version of last year's bill, but "unfortunately, a judge shut it down." He reminded his colleagues that he had "asked that the current bill be rolled" until a version with dependable safeguards for school districts statewide could be perfected, but," unfortunately it was not rolled." Consequently, "I will be voting no tonight. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm gonna be."
Objections came also from representatives from the city of Memphis, who, unlike their suburban Shelby County colleagues, were opposed to the bill. Representatives G.A. Hardaway, Antonio Parkinson, and Johnnie Turner all took shots at the measure, articulating their concerns about the effect of the bill on the county's unified school district, still in the process of formation, and extracting assurances from primary House sponsor Curry Todd (R-Collierville) that the bill had no immediate impact upon the future disposition of school buildings currently owned by Shelby County.
Both Hardaway and Parkinson gave voice to a rumor that has circulated widely of late, namely, that an unspoken arrangement exists between the bill's sponsors — Todd and Senate majority leader Mark Norris being the principal ones — and Republican colleagues in districts elsewhere to the effect that a one-year window would be held open for Shelby County and would be closed for everybody else by follow-up legislation next year.
Todd, who had begun his remarks by expressing thanks for the "61 signatures" of House co-sponsors he had received, blithely gave assurances that no such revocation next year was planned and that if it was proposed, "I would vote against it."
Representative Craig Fitzhugh (D-Ripley), leader of the 27 House Democrats, made one last stand against the measure. "I hadn't planned to speak on this bill," Fitzhugh said. "I thought I didn't have a dog in the hunt. ... But, as so goes Memphis, so goes my little town and my district." And he expressed concern about the "long-term effect" of the bill upon Memphis.
In the Senate, Democratic leader Jim Kyle (D-Memphis) warned his Senate colleagues of potential negative effects of the bill on other counties and other districts.
"A special school district could withdraw and become a municipal district," he said. "This is a mistake — a mistake you'll see in your community one day." And senators would ask themselves, said Kyle, "'Why did I get involved in a boundary dispute in Shelby County?' ... bringing to your front door what essentially is a local dispute."
The bill now requires only the signature of Governor Bill Haslam and perhaps an ultimate vetting by Mays.
• Another long-running issue dealt with as the General Assembly neared the end of the 2013 session was legislation (SB 0132) proposed by state senator Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) that would have required the state department of human services to reduce state aid to families of failing school children.
Dubbed "Starve-the-Children," the bill would be shunted off to "summer study" by the state Senate, earning a fate that had previously befallen Campfield's "Don't Say Gay" bill that would have outlawed discussions of homosexuality in the state's elementary schools. That bill, after being relegated to summer study in 2011, finally expired in a House committee this year.
The first hint of serious trouble for Campfield on SB 0132 came during floor debate, when GOP majority leader Norris pronounced himself "queasy" about the bill, which would reduce state aid to dependent families whose children were experiencing grade trouble. The bill had already engendered a mid-week statement of opposition from Haslam and had been actively opposed by any number of agencies and institutions concerned with student welfare.
Norris told Campfield, "You're fooling yourself," regarding the Knoxville senator's claim that only parents and not children would be penalized by the withholding from the affected family an average of $20 a month in state support payments. The majority leader also referred to the bill as "the sort of legislation that gets challenged in a court of law as vague and ambiguous, arbitrary and capricious."
Concurring with a statement by state senator Lowe Finney (D-Jackson) that the bill would "make the child responsible for the parents' actions," Senator Todd Gardenhire (R-Chattanooga) said, "You can't legislate parental responsibility. I don't care what you do." He foresaw "unintended consequences" for the student. "The parent will beat the dog doo out of him for taking that $20 away from them, that's what's going to happen."
In the end, with Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey (R-Blountville), the Senate speaker, explicitly encouraging him to do so, Campfield offered to have the bill referred again to the Senate health committee and to have it relegated to the aforesaid summer-study status, which he hoped would allow it to be ultimately retooled in coordination with K-12 education subcommittees of the Senate and House.

Paula White, well known for her close ties with President Donald Trump and also the chairwoman of Trump's evangelical advisory committee, through her website, demanded donations totaling to one-month Salary as "first fruits" offering from her followers. Apparently, the preacher warned her followers that failure to send her the donations may result in consequences from God.
"The reason is God lays claim to all firsts," Whites' website read. "So, when you keep for yourself something that belongs to God you are desecrating what is to be consecrated to God."
In this case, the "firsts" are money, which "supernaturally unlocks amazing opportunity, blessing, favor and divine order for your life."
The Gospel preacher claims she contributes a month's pay every year as a "seed," which according to prosperity gospel is supposed to grow into riches and other blessings. She's also calling on others to contribute their own firsts, in the form of wages for a day, week or entire month:
"When you honor this principle, it provides the foundation and structure for God's blessings and promises in your life, it unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life! When you apply this everything comes in divine alignment for His plan and promises for you. When you don't honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience there are consequences."
White proceeded to say that the firsts "belong to God and God alone," she wants them sent to her in the form of offerings to her ministries.
During Trump's inauguration white delivered a prayer, where she called on God to give the president "the confidence to lead us in justice and righteousness, and the compassion to yield to our better angels."

Since they arrived on the New York racing scene a few years ago, jockeys Irad Jr. and Jose Ortiz have totaled 24 Breeders' Cup mounts, and there's not much to brag about with a combined record of just 2-2-1 for the lot of them.
This year, as the Nov. 4-5 Breeders' Cup begins to take final shape, all of that is likely to change – the number of races in which they'll be on the backs of some of America's best Thoroughbreds reflecting a breathtaking, meteoric rise to the top in five years for Irad, 24, and four years for his 23-year-old sibling, Jose.
Barring late scratches or withdrawals, to date they are each in line for at least six mounts out of the 12 total races, and their agents are working on more.
Both are high in the top U.S. jockeys' standings (based on Graded stakes performances over the past three years) in the TRC Global Rankings - Jose is 6th and Irad 9th, with Irad particularly successful on turf (he comes in at third among jockeys in American turf races). Overall, they are both in the world top 30.
Modest to a fault, both jockeys have retained their courteous demeanor with trainers, owners and stable staff while becoming two of the most sought-after jockeys in the talent-laden New York colony.
The true test of their skills and success perhaps came with the conclusion of the 2016 Saratoga meet Sept. 5, widely regarded as the toughest in the U.S., when they finished 1-2 in the jockey standings. Jose's winning record of 294-64-35-33 was worth $4.625 million in earnings, Irad's 314-58-50-48, $5.207 million (more graded stakes).
New York domination
They have dominated the New York jockey colony this year, finishing, 1-2 in the Belmont 2016 spring meet and 1-2 in Aqueduct's winter and spring meets.
To date this year, they are among the top four jockeys in national earnings: Irad at $19.9 million, Jose $19 million and, since 2013, when the older brother broke into the top five national earners for the first time ($14.3 million), both have remained among the elite jockeys in the country. Even though prize money has increased exponentially in the past five years or so, their national earnings figures are still eye-popping.
According to Equibase figures, as of mid-October, Irad has earned $90 million from 8,000 mounts – 32nd among active jockeys in the U.S. - contrasted with the leader, John Velazquez, whose 30,000-plus mounts have earned him more than $355 million since he began racing in 1990.
Jose Ortiz's $68.5 million in earnings from 6,000-plus starts rank him 52nd among active jockeys. Both have the bulk of their careers in front of them.
The pair say hard work, experience and earning the right to being booked on some of the top horses account for their continued success.
When not riding, they are the best of friends but in the jock's room and on track, "there are no jokes," Irad said. "We always talk about horse racing, we handicap together, but on the track it's all business."
The competition between the brothers extends beyond races since they are also going after the same mounts. "We've taken them from each other," Irad said.
Flourishing personal lives
They also aren't afraid to claim foul in races where they're both riding, although, on the large scale, they are fairly clean riders, with only a few incidents. In late June, both were suspended three days for bumping and interference infractions during the Belmont spring meet and so began the 2016 downstate fall meet on the sidelines - five days (Irad) and three (Jose) - for bumping and interference infractions.
Irad's mount, Recruiting Ready, in the Saratoga Special Aug. 21, a G2 for 2-year-olds, was dropped from 2nd to 4th for his infraction.
Since coming to the U.S. in 2011 (Irad) and 2012 (Jose), their personal lives have also flourished.
Irad has an 18-month-old daughter, Sarai, and Jose is engaged to trainer Linda Rice's niece, jockey Taylor Rice. The two will be married in December in Ocala, Florida, where the Rice family live.
Being a father has been "beautiful", Irad said this summer as the Saratoga meet wound down. At the end of a tough day of riding, it's nice to go home to a family. "It's a more full life," he said.
Jose is proud of being an uncle and jokes about his impending marriage to another jockey and what the domestic future could hold. If they have a child, "it's going to come out with a helmet on," he joked, flashing the toothy grin that dominates the faces of both men, who could easily be mistaken for twins.
Both are soft spoken, preferring to do their "talking" through their work.
Jose got his 1,000th win on July 28 at Saratoga, in the $100,000 John Morrissey Stakes, appropriately named for the rough Irish-American boxing champ who established the racecourse in 1863. He was aboard 7-2 Moonlight Song, a 9-year gelding who had not raced since winning the same race a year earlier.
Saratoga the place to be
In his comments on the milestone, Jose acknowledged the help of his brother, who convinced him to come to New York after a year at Parx, where he finished 91st in the nation with $3 million in earnings.
"This means a lot. It's a big goal in my career," Ortiz said in the winner's circle. "I'm just thankful. I want to thank every single owner and trainer who gave me the opportunity. My family, and my fiancée who support me every day, my brother, who taught me a lot when I first started riding. Saratoga is the place to be in the summer, and I really love it. I'm very blessed I could do it here."
Irad won his 1,000th race in less formidable circumstances, on a chilly late November afternoon at Aqueduct aboard the Rudy Rodriguez-trained claimer Island Therapy. Two races later that same day, he rode a Rodriquez's 2-year-old New York-bred, Frosty Margarita, to victory in the Key Cents Stakes.
Their mother, Vilma Morales Adomo, says they are more mature than they were when they first came to the country from Trujillo Alto in Puerto Rico, a municipality of 75,000 on the northern coast of the island, but their goals of being top jockeys, following in the footsteps of their grandfather and uncle, have never changed.
"They always knew what they wanted," she said this summer, which she spent cooking for her family and babysitting in Saratoga.
A mother's prayer
If she watches the races – occasionally on the monitors in front of the jockey's room but more recently from the house – she has one thought on her mind and it's not about winning.
"When they are in the gate, I'm praying 'God, please take care of them ... and the others."
Vilma, whose sons share her smooth, tanned complexion and wide grin, usually covers her dark eyes during a race, especially when they are on the backstretch, occasionally daring to peek through her fingers. "That's where the majority of the spills happen. I don't want to watch that," she said of the midpoint of most contests. But when they enter the stretch, her behavior changes dramatically, as she yells "pronto, pronto" as they make their moves towards the finish line.
When they were very young, their father, who has worked on backstretches in Puerto Rico and more recently for trainer Nick Zito in Saratoga, seeing the potential for his small, slight sons, strapped them onto pillows, equipped them with whips, and ordered them to "ride" while they watched races on television.
Vilma enrolled her sons at the prestigious Escuela Vocacional Hipica jockey school, which has produced among others, Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez (currently No. 11 in the TRC Global Rankings, meaning Puerto Rico has three riders in the world top 30) and Manny Franco, who is making his own mark in the New York circuit.
Instructors there recalled the Ortiz brothers as shy at first but showing great potential from the outset. To get into the school, which accepts 16 students a year from 100 applicants, candidates are subjected to rigorous interviews and other tests.
Their mother was also rigorous during their upbringing, making sure they stayed out of trouble, worked hard in school and were always respectful of their teachers, family and others around them.
To this day they act the same.
Helping hands
The Ortiz brothers had some important helping hands to ease their transition into New York racing from their close family friend, Efraim Rosa, a NYRA security officer who is known as Pito. A former hotwalker, Rosa housed the pair when they first arrived and, more importantly, introduced them to trainers, jockey agents and others connected to the track.
Another helping hand was Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero, who gave them his personal Equicizer as well as important riding advice. His most repeated admonition: stay low in the saddle. They still consult him.
Trainers and other jockeys are quick to praise their work ethic, attention to detail and professional behavior.
"Both have high-quality riding skills," said Velazquez. "It's good for the sport to see kids to come in and in only a few years to have such success. They've surrounded themselves with the right people and are very good at handling business. They're also very level-headed. The future of racing is right there and people should embrace them and the sport," he added.
"When they came to New York, they were very young," said trainer Leah Gyarmati. "But they haven't let success go to their heads, even though they made a lot of money and it is very tempting to go the wrong way. They have surrounded themselves with good people and have a good support system."
Then, on a personal note, she added: "It's very hard to get them to even go out for dinner. They stay at home with their mother and family."
Trainer Gary Contessa has called them "the Manning brothers of horseracing", referring to Peyton and Eli, both Super Bowl quarterbacks. In the 30-plus years he has been training, "I've never seen somebody lose the bug and not fall off. In a very short period of time, they have become world-class riders, he said. "Owners are always talking to me about riders; everyone says get the Ortiz brothers, 'either one.' Everyone wants both of them," Contessa said.
Never too busy or proud
Trainer Linda Rice, who uses Jose more than his brother, said they got a break in 2013 when Ramon Dominguez was forced to retire from racing because of an injury. "This left an opportunity for them and both have flourished since then," she said.
In fact, Irad is represented by Dominguez's agent, Steve Rushing.
Another prominent agent, Jim Riccio Jr, has represented Jose from the start.
From the outset, both jockeys were frequent visitors to New York tracks in the pre-dawn hours to work horses for top trainers, which paid off down the line in mounts.
Their agents say they're a dream to represent. They're never too busy or proud to work horses and are always professional and courteous to trainers and owners.
"Jose has the same work ethic as in the beginning," said Riccio. "This is a tough business with lot of ups and downs but he weathers them well." Riccio recalled a not too distant 0 for 40 slump. "We were losing every day but his attitude was 'Hey, today's a new day. Let's hope we get a win.' He knows you have to look at the bigger picture."
Rushing said: If Irad is in a slump, "we just go day to day doing the same thing that got him here."
Patient riding
Although the pair have mastered most distances and surfaces, Jose's reputation is as a great speed rider with a terrific sense of pace. Rice cited the Oct. 1 mile-and-a-half G1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont, in which he won on the front end with 9-1 Ectot over 1-5 runner-up Flintshire. In the July 30 1 1/8 mile G2 Jim Dandy at Saratoga, he pulled a similar upset,only this time it was with a maiden, Laoban, taking him on a measured pace from gate to wire at 27-1.
Irad's reputation is more of a closer, with particular skill in turf routes. Although not limited to this division by any means, some of his biggest wins have come riding trainer Chad Brown's distance turf horses such as Camelot Kitten, Lady Eli (he helped coax her back to winning ways after a dismal injury) and Dacita.
"The biggest things I've seen about them is that they're young, they're light and they want to be jockeys," said prominent trainer Shug McGaughey about the brothers. "They're out here in the mornings and they don't care how many horses they breeze. In afternoons, they come prepared and focused on what want they have to do."
And they aren't picky about who they work for or where they ride.
"They don't care if it's Belmont, the Meadowlands at night or Delaware Park on Mondays and Tuesdays, McGaughey added. "There's no prima donna in them at all."
McGaughey, who uses Jose more than Irad, said they are accomplished riders on all surfaces and distances, although the younger brother is a little more aggressive and stronger than his sibling.
A gift that can't be taught
Irad, on the other hand, "is very tactical in what he does – he's aggressive about getting his horse where he needs to be to win," said McGaughey.
Trainer David Jacobson, who is among perennial leaders in New York, agreed they can adapt to any type of horse, whether speed or come from behind.
"To me, they don't have a label," he said. "What they have is a gift and an instinct and they use them well. It enables them to make more good judgments than other riders. It's a gift that can't be taught, and they've had it from the beginning of their careers."
Like others, he also said their personalities and work ethic contribute greatly to their success.
"They've worked hard and are both respectable young men. Their parents did a good job of raising them. They've come a long way and they deserve it," Jacobson said.
But not long enough for them – at least when the brothers contemplate their futures.
What does it hold? What can you anticipate when not yet 25, you've already climbed to the top in this gut-checking humbling profession?
"I want to be somebody everybody remembers," said Jose. "Winning Breeders' Cups, the Kentucky Derby and being in the Hall of Fame."
"The Hall of Fame – that's the goal," said Irad. "It's hard work but you have to stay positive."

A funny thing happened the other day on an exploratory trip to the new Mellow Mushroom , which just opened at 1201 Sixteenth Street, in the Tabor Center. Tempted by the sweet allure of lunchtime pizza, we were actually more impressed by the drink specials than the pizzas.
Bellied up to a glowing bar, we decided to skip the Shroom Tea in favor of the tie-dyed-Razzmatazz-Blue Curacao-Long-Island-on-Acid Grateful Dead cocktail. We'll say this: She was lovely to look at, but her taste left a lot to be desired, and at $7 a pop, you're better off sticking with Mellow Mushroom's daily specials.
The best of which may be Tuesday's S.I.N. special, which stands for Service Industry Night, or perhaps Sloppy Intoxicated Nudes, Slurpy Intercourse Now, or Super Inebriated Nuesday, depending on who you talk to. The bar pours two-for-one house margaritas, along with Tuaca and Jager shots; tall PBR's go for $2; and Three Olive cocktails run $3, thereby allowing line cooks to buy themselves and a lucky lady a round with only an hour's pay.
Thursday is Ladies Night from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., with $1 house wines and two-for-one Jager Bombs and Dirty Blond shots. Apparently ladies love cheap wine and shots with vaguely unclean monikers .
Then again, sometimes a girl just needs five Miller Lites and a cheap slice of pizza in the wee hours. Mellow Mushroom's late-night happy hour hooks you up from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, featuring $1 house wines, $2 Miller Lites and $3 wells, along with $2.50 pizza slices to soak up the booze.

On Wednesday nights, the pizzeria sucks you in with live trivia and $10 "buckets" of Coors, but since the Coors bottles are already $2 on special, getting five in a bucket for a tenner isn't any kind of deal -- unless you have a bucket fetish. Whatever happened to actual buckets of beer? You know, a giant plastic pail filled to the brim with frothy suds and served with dippin' cups?
Hazy Sunday features an unremarkable $3 Bloody Mary bar and $3 mimosas, right alongside a truly bizarre breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs and cheese with your choice of additional toppings. It may be the most outside-the-box pizza idea since the turkey and cranberry Thanksgiving pizza.
Mellow Mushroom's drink names, psychedelic wall murals and sassy mushroom mascot all aim to create a vague impression that their pizzas may send you out for a longer trip than the one back to your car. It's all marketing patina however, since the restaurant is really a family-grown Southern franchise.The unfounded drug references began to wear a bit, but one cocktail on the menu still got a giggle -- specifically the "Michael Phelps," mixed up with Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea, water, vodka, and sours.
As far as outdated 2008 Olympics references go, that one's pretty good.

Hounds like the pie at Mission Pie, a brand-new pie-and-coffee shop. The apple pie has a great flaky crust and big chunks of tart apples, says asherandeva. It's satisfyingly bright and tart, not overwhelmed by cinnamon, says augustiner, though those who like super-sweet apple pie might find the filling too lemony. Other offerings include an Italian dessert tart made with chard, raisins, rum, and lemon, and a savory pie filled with veggie curry.
Pies are made from ingredients grown at the Pie Ranch, including sustainably raised wheat for the crusts–and it's staffed by the Mission High students who work on the farm. Stop in for some organic, fair-trade coffee and interesting pie–and be patient and smile, the servers are new at this!

Two Compact Disks (CDs) showing video recordings of alleged billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike alias Evans' confession for alleged kidnapping were on Wednesday played at the Ikeja Special Offences court.
The video recordings presented to Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo showed Evans confessing to kidnapping of his victims and armed robbery within and outside Lagos State.
The clips from the video were played while the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Titi Shitta-Bey, was leading a witness, Insp. Idowu Haruna, in evidence in-chief,The Nation reports.
Evans is standing trial with co-defendant, Victor Aduba on four-count charge of kidnapping of Sylvanus Ahanonu Afia and unlawful possession of firearms.
Shitta-Bey had requested the court to tender the two CDs containing the confessions of Evans in the matter.
She also requested that portion of the videos should be played in court to prove its authenticity to the defence team.
The videos showed Evans wearing a red T-shirt, seated on a leather seat in a room and confessing his crimes to Haruna.
He was heard giving details of his family background, how he ran away from home, went into armed robbery and later kidnapping.
Evans was smiling as he narrated his escapades in bank robberies and kidnapping.
He said the ransom collected ranged from $250,000 to $1million depending on the victim.
Haruna, a policeman with 14-year experience in the Nigerian Police Force, also told the court he came in contact with the defendants while serving as a member of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team.
He said the defendants were arrested for the kidnap of one person in February 14, 2017.
"That victim was taken to their hideout in Igando, Lagos, and kept there for a month till he escaped from the hideout.
"Through covert operations, we arrested Evans and during interrogations he mentioned Victor Aduba," the policeman said.
He said Evans during interrogation provided information on the people he had kidnapped in Lagos and other states.
The post Video of Evans confession for kidnapping shown in court appeared first on Miss Petite Nigeria Blog.

Skip to 0 minutes and 11 seconds Behaviour management is a phrase that you will commonly hear in relation to teaching. The behaviour of young people in schools is always framed in a way that implies that it needs to be managed. I want you to begin to think about behaviour in a different way. Whilst I believe it is important for teachers, behaviour should not be something that scares or worries us. In its simplest terms, I want you to think about behaviour as a form of communication. Just like any language, the things that we do all of the time can be called behaviour. For humans, we reveal this language of behaviour through the words we use, the intonation, the gestures, the body language, the context, and so on.
Skip to 0 minutes and 56 seconds And we make these judgments all the time. We use our skills in reading behaviour to decide whether we have bored our friend in the pub, or whether we think somebody fancies you, or whether the job interview has gone well. This is no different in schools. The role of the teacher is to begin to make sense of the complex nature of the language of behaviour. And at the same time children and young people are experimenting with their identity and their expressions of behaviour. For example, is the child yawning throughout your lesson exhausted or are they finding your lesson incredibly boring?
Skip to 1 minute and 34 seconds There is not a simple answer to this question, but developing skills and Behaviour management is about learning to interpret things such as this. Often, behaviour management in schools is presented in very simplistic ways, as though it is about applying the right technique or strategy at the correct time. Think about the culture of the classroom. What does it feel like to be a student in that environment? Are pupils able to ask questions, make mistakes? Is there flexibility? Is there a mixture of learning opportunities? Can they easily get support? Is there a sense of belonging? Creating a positive atmosphere in classrooms is critical. Alongside this is the relationship teachers have with students.
Skip to 2 minutes and 21 seconds Behaviour is easy to manage when teachers know the individuals in their care. Take time to get to know their specific interests and what is important to them. No student or newly-qualified teacher is ever going to describe himself as a behaviour expert, nor is it something that you could learn fully in an initial teacher education course. Rather, it is a career-long learning process. I hope to have communicated that behaviour is pretty complex. Once in the classroom though, you are never alone. Know the kind of teacher you want to be and try to locate this right now. Think about the kind of classroom you would like to create, and what the steps might be to do this.
Skip to 3 minutes and 7 seconds Working with children and young people around behaviour means that no two days are the same, and this is really exciting. You must see behaviour management as another thrilling aspect of being a teacher.
Behaviour management for beginning teachers
In this video, Mark Sackville-Ford, an experienced tutor in working with primary and Special Educational Needs or Disabilities (SEND) pupils explains the importance of behaviour management and how we view it as trainee teachers.
Mark explores the different issues that affect behaviour within the classroom other than just 'telling pupils off'. What do you think are the most important things a teacher can do to build a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom?

How biomass energy works is very simple. You simple convert natural items into usable power, such as wood, plants, fat from animals, and a host of other sources
provided by the environment.
There are two main methods of converting biomass energy into a useful form:
Biomass Energy is a Growing Alternative Energy
How Biomass Works Using Thermal Conversion
Thermal conversion is just a fancy way of saying you use heat to convert biomass into energy.
An easy example would be for you to use wood to heat your home, or cook your food.
There are many other experimental thermal conversion methods that may offer benefits.
For example, hydrothermal upgrading (HTU) and hydro processing have been developed for use on high moisture content biomass.
Including aqueous slurries, allowing them to be converted into usable forms of energy.
How Biomass Energy Works Using Chemical Conversion
Efficient biochemical processes that have evolved in the natural world are now being harnessed to create usable power.
Biochemical conversion makes use of the enzymes of bacteria and other microorganisms to break down biomass.
There are many different chemical conversion methods that offer you a way of turning biomass into usable energy, but it normally goes something like this:
The first step is to convert the biomass into a gaseous form by using a method called gasification.
By gasifying the biomass, we are able to create biofuels that can then be used to power cars, heat your home, and a number of other practical applications.
Converting biomass into biofuels using organic material is helping to generate new, fuel efficient vehicles.
For example, cellulose can be converted into hydrogen fuels.
Another example of biochemical conversion is to use waste vegetable oils to create biodiesel.
Below is a diagram of how a microbial electrolysis cell can be used to generate hydrogen gas from plant matter:

Are There Motivational Differences in Genders in the Workplace?
It's not always clear whether certain things motivate male and female employees differently. For example, money and other financial rewards potentially have the same effect on both genders, according to some workplace studies. Nonetheless, motivational differences may appear among men and women based on how employers handle the objects of motivation.
Financial Rewards
Employers who use money to motivate employees may find that the overall response from both men and women is nearly the same. Raises, bonuses and other monetary rewards may only be a short-term motivator for both genders, according to a 2011 article from the University of Phoenix business school. An employee's motivation may rise for a brief time after he receives a pay increase. However, the article notes studies that show employees often increase their spending after receiving a raise, which consumes their additional pay. That potentially lowers their motivation to its previous level because their financial situation remains unchanged.
Acknowledgment from the boss motivates men and women, but women may respond more favorably to frequent acknowledgment. For example, "Incentive Magazine" columnist Roy Saunderson notes advice from a training consultant who indicated that women like to get verbal and written forms of acknowledgment for their work more often than men do. However, workplace recognition that seems bias hampers motivation for male and female employees. In such cases, Saunderson indicates some workers see certain employees consistently recognized for their work when they feel they're just as deserving of such acknowledgment, but they don't receive it.
Educational opportunities that can help employees improve their job performance and advance their careers are motivating to both genders. Nonetheless, Saunderson notes that women may need to have such opportunities structured differently for them to raise their job motivation. That's because women who are parents or who take care of elderly parents may have too many care-taking responsibilities to participate in college courses or other training opportunities. Therefore, Saunderson indicates that women may be more motivated by skill-development days that allow employees to spend the workday honing their job skills at classes or workshops. Training during the workday would prevent women from having to take extra time away form care-taking duties.
Expressing respect for employees is another workplace motivator. Saunderson notes that women generally want their employers to show consistent respect for them and the work they do. However, an article by Karen Haywood Queen on the Bankrate website draws no distinction among men and women concerning how respect motivates them to do good work. For example, asking all workers for their suggestions on improving business operations demonstrates respect for their input and may increase their overall job satisfaction.

Grab this incredibly healthy snack next time you're hungry at work
So, you're hungry at work and it's not quite lunchtime. You could reach for the potato chips in the vending machine to hold you over. Or you could head for a healthier (and arguably tastier) option: walnuts.
Walnuts are extremely rich in polyphenols, important chemicals that help your body ward off diseases like cancer, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and more. They're also packed with plenty of protein and fiber.
Researchers say half an ounce of walnuts a day, roughly six to seven whole walnuts, could help improve your memory concentration and information processing speed. (Video via Optima Walnut Processing)
Dr. Lenore Arab, a professor of medicine and disease prevention at UCLA, says, "It isn't every day that research results in such simple advice — eating a handful of walnuts daily as a snack, or as part of a meal, can help improve your cognitive health."
A tasty snack and a work performance enhancer? Sounds like a win-win.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoOum Corp. (OTCPink:SOUMD) (OTCPINK:SOUM) ("SoOum" or the "Company"), a Physical Commodities Arbitrage Trading company offering a web-based International Trade platform, SoOum.com, released a Letter to Shareholders detailing the Company's newly rebuilt International Trade Platform, as follows:
Dear Shareholders:
Let me begin by saying how grateful I am for being part of such a magnificent group of visionaries and achievers.
SoOum's mission provides the company with multifaceted avenues in reaching its goals. This was engineered from the beginning with the core mission of addressing shortages and minimizing global scarcity.
SoOum had to navigate many different paths in order to progress toward this mission, but has always stayed true to both the humanitarian and value-building elements that emerge from the mission itself.
Since the beginning, the Company has been able to build supply chains, introduce International marketing and promotion to frontier marketplaces, gather suppliers worldwide, and partner with or acquire other businesses. Yet, the overall goal of the Company has always been to find the most productive ways to address shortages and minimize global scarcity. That being said, this path has been straight at times and winding at others. But one thing is certain: We have always kept our eyes on the prize. With this optimistic spirit, we have built, and we will continue to build.
Presently, we are focused on building a subscription-based virtual system (SoOum.com) that operates globally 24/7, matching importers with exporters and provides a clear trading pathway for International Traders. It employs over a decade of data gathered by the SoOum team and includes intelligence gleaned from the best databases across the world. This system is sufficiently dynamic so that each of its subscribers have flexible pathways to a relatively quick physical commodity trade.
Unlike other international trade databases, ours is not just another global "Yellow Pages"; it is a complete live trading platform. Because SoOum.com provides the ease and ability to accommodate a live trade transaction from start to finish, we truly are on an effectual path toward making a sizable impact on scarcity in the world while driving value to our Shareholders.
During this past quarter (and year) we have worked hard, even in the face of tough market conditions, to build and launch our online 24/7 global trading of physical commodities. Now we are happy to report that it is in full operation and ready to be introduced to the world.
The world can join us in different ways, such as becoming an exporter, importer, freight forwarder, spread investor, or trader within our system.
We have made our system so simple that international trade can be done on the move, from your phone, your home computer, or even at the office. Trade can now happen while you travel, while you vacation, and while you attend family and social events. This is a system that you take with you wherever you may go, all the while addressing scarcity through SoOum as well as making a living for yourself and your family.
This systems technology does the heavy lifting, while providing you the opportunity to be flexible as you multitask.
We are making it our focal point to not become a global "Yellow Pages" nor a supply chain builder, but a gap filler. This will ensure our subscribers make money while fulfilling a magnificent global duty to minimize global scarcity.
The power of our system, simply, will be its functionality, alongside our commitment to build upon our subscribers' feedback as to what works and what needs enhancement, enabling viral growth through continual flow of interactions among members and SoOum, and an "it works" message that speaks for itself.
Going forward, I greatly anticipate the sharing of SoOum's successes and advances with our shareholders and friends.
Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you on the trail.
William Westbrook
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

For about the last month I've bee using the contour app on my iPad mini 4 in a room without a TV. When I used it this morning the audio is being decoded incorrectly. During the national morning news I get a low mix on the dialog/center channel making the selected volume too load during stereo or surround music bumps. Also during commercials many seem to have the voice over completely assigned to the center channel affectively muting it all together, other then the sound effects and background music. Just to check it wasn't a temporary problem I check the OTA signal and also tuned it with my cox feed on a TV and everything sounds normal in both situations. I downloaded the Contour app to my iPhone 6 running iOS 11.3.1 and had the same problem. I have, just this morning, updated the iOS on my iPad to 11.4 but with the same problem on the iPhone running the earlier iOS I think this may be a problem on the Cox streaming feed.
FYI You can use the More > Move command to request a post be moved to a different area. Want me to flag for a moderator?
yes, sorry didn't notice the app tab when I started the post.
"yes also with headphones, yes contour 2 service, version 126.96.36.1995 one wrinkle...I use a Tivo for my TV sets, however I was under the impression that the app worked directly from cox over the internet and not though my home converter box."
I don't think that should be a issue. If it was a issue with service rights, nothing would work. You wouldn't even be able to sign in. Did you notice if the app has a "SAP" button? I noticed it was changed with the update to 4.0. It sounds like you are hearing the SAP too, so that would make sense.
I don't see a SAP button in the Settings "gear" menu
found it under Accessibility and it was turned off
Hmm, I thought that might be it. Do you have any android devices to try the app on that? That would rule out any weird router firewall issues. Also, do you have any wireless audio system set up through Airplay that the phone might be trying to send audio to instead?
Troubleshooting the reverse would help too. If you have bluetooth in your car or a streaming audio system (Airplay?) to try to use those to see if the audio works.
Last, do you know anyone else that uses the app in your area? Can you ask them if they are having problems?
Sorry if these questions sound stupid, but I am stretching to isolate the issue. My gut is telling me it's a bug related to some changes they made to get ready for the iOS update, but something broke. Getting it to work anywhere else would proof that.
no android but I will try to find some friends that could try Android and/or a different iOS device to see if the symptoms persist. I can work on the airplay idea latter. I'll report back.

Last Christmas hubby gave me a surprising gift which was a beautiful gold plated mother of pearl watch. For a long time since we got married hubby rarely gave me a gift like this and i am happy for it. I will cherish this until this watch still working. I thank him for this gift and he deserved a gift too. So i gave him a new wallet, and a new watch. Beside of the watch hubby gave me his sister-in law sent a nice sterling silver necklace and i like it also. This year 2012 i hope will bring us more blessings so that we can share it to others.
3Awesome Comments!
My father gave me a dang dildo for Christmas. That was surprising because I was expecting him to give me a bj. That's what he usually gives me.
Great gift! Your husband choose a good gift that you can really make use everyday.

(From the book in progress.)
There's a reason that history's great spiritual teachers often used metaphors and parables in their teachings. The reason is: This stuff is really hard to explain.
Simply put, mental concepts—words and definitions—can't explain what lies beyond mental concepts. And practically all things spiritual lie beyond mental concepts.
So how can I be expected to explain the relationship of the Nine Aspects of Being to you-whatever-that-is? How can I conceptualize into words what lies beyond concepts?
Attempting to explain the unexplainable is an age old problem. Over the thousands of years of trying, spiritual teachers seem to agree that there is only one, surefire way to do it:
You make something up.
Not a lie per se, but a parable…
Once upon a previous lifetime you were an Artist. An Artist with a special power. You could paint an entire painting in less than a second. Beautiful paintings, powerful paintings, and yes, more often than not, somewhat mundane paintings. But you were fast. You could create thousands of paintings in a day.
When you first started out, you only had access to three colors. But you were fast and you were good and for years you made thousands—millions—of paintings with just these three colors.
Then one day you met another Artist, and she was fast and she was good, but she had six colors. Your three colors and three entirely new ones!
Before you were happy with your three colors, but suddenly they were lacking, kind of dull and boring, and you wanted the new colors—you coveted them—and though you were tempted to kill the other Artist for them, you realized that this wasn't a bible parable so you simply asked her for them instead.
And she said, "No. These are my paints. These are my colors."
And you thought, this sickly sweet and PC parable be damned, I'm going to kill her and take them anyway, but before you could finish the thought she said, "But, I'll show you how to make these colors."
And it was good. And you were fast. And you painted a hundred paintings that day with, not three, but six wonderful colors. The world was your oyster… until the very next morning.
The very next morning you met another Artist. An old man, wise and sagely, and he had nine colors—the six colors you had and three entirely new ones!
Having learned your lesson, you asked in a sweet and humble voice, "Oh great and wise Artist, could you teach me how to make your three special colors?"
And the great and wise Artist said, "No. I could… but I won't." And he said nothing more.
So you thought about killing him and taking them anyway and the Old Artist said, "Don't even think about killing me and taking them anyway, because you'll never learn how to make them again once they are gone."
And you were vexed and you were frustrated and you thought about killing him anyway when the Old Artist said, "But before you kill me anyway, know this: I will teach you the secret of the final three colors when you are ready. You've only had the six colors for a day. Come back when you are an expert with them and I'll teach you the last three. Otherwise you'll just make a mess of your art… and a mess of your life."
So you practiced and you practiced and you painted a thousand—ten thousand—new paintings with not three but six colors and when you were ready, when you had the six colors down, you came back to the Old Man and he taught you how to make the last three colors.
So what is the relationship between you and the Nine Aspects of Being? What is the relationship between you and the three tiers of three Aspects each?
You are the Artist. The Aspects are your colors. You create a new painting in every moment of your life. Sometimes you go through phases, favoring one Aspect over the others, but you are not an Aspect. Nor even a combination of them.
You—whatever that is—are the Artist. The Artist who creates a new painting every moment of your life.

Welcome to PlaySurvival.org
Fortunately, this game is only a game!
For now.
Survival is a game for a group of people (8 to 30; 10 years and older) designed to increase the players' awareness for the environment, the potential causes for problems, and for the important factors necessary for humans to survive on this planet. The concept for Survival is based on a very popular social game called "Werewolf" or "Mafia". Read more ...
In a solar system at the fringes of a galaxy far, far away is a planet currently friendly to the sustained existence of life. This planet is inhabited by intelligent bipeds (they call themselves "humans") who have developed habits that threaten the survival of the species.
Most of the time those "humans" just go about their business without thinking much about the consequences of their actions. Read more ...
Survival was developed to playfully introduce students to environmental science, begin discussions of the negative and positive impacts of human actions (or inactions), discover global connections, etc. You can even play it to practice a foreign language or use it in your social science class to prime a discussion.
The game was played with many students and adults alike. The reviews have been great. Even more importantly, the feedback I recieved from the students indicates that they recognize what I hoped they would.
Survival is available for FREE, but once you have started playing you may want to purchase the game. Your students will want to play it a lot!

"I liked this game because you learn what things we need to live on this planet and what things we need to cut down on or bring to a stop totally, or else we will destroy our planet. "
"The evil forces in the game are factors that are slowly killing our world not just in the game. They are real problems."

The moral of this ancient and well-known fable, retold in a modern-day context is what's fun for us isn't always fun for others. This is what happens to a young boy who has fun tormenting the calm frogs who live in a pond, until the frogs decide to teach the boy a lesson. Fold-out pages offer children large, lively and attractive images to capture their attention, encouraging them to follow the story. Colourful, thematic illustrated picture dictionaries present some of the main terms of basic French, whilst games and activities make reading easier and more involving and useful. Illustrated vocabulary: * verbs of movement * objects of free time * the park

A representative from Lucasfilm confirmed to the New York Times the insertion of Vader's "Noooooooooo!" from Revenge Of The Sith into the climatic final battle in Return Of The Jedi where Vader hoists the Emperor up over the balcony and down in the bowels of the Death Star to save his son, previously wordless, the scene has been altered for the Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
A quick sample of SciFiNow readers cried out and weren't suddenly silenced:
"I was prepared to put up with the changes to get the original trilogy on Blu-ray. Until yesterday." @ghostfinder
"George Lucas continues to pepper spray my childhood right in the eyes until there's nothing but a bloody pulpy mess. Horrible." @TheBozDog
"I wish someone had said nooooooooo to Lucas. Silly idea. We're aware of subtext, despite his low opinion of his audience." @crooneyme
"Not surprised. Waiting for the Death Star to destroy Yavin to avoid the 'Luke shooting first' controversy." @Cavalier1979
